Alas! One evil press'd on Mungo's head — He was compelled to be—a quadruped! On two legs had he stood instead of four, The world had call'd him wise, if nothing more. The genius of his more than doggish mind Despised the common actions of his kind ; And though, to these, his skill would oft descend, To serve his master, or to please a friend, Still, Mungo's talents might have gan'd a name, That dog ne'er won, upon the scroll of fame! Language he had not, yet, how well he read Each look, each act, each syllable you said ; His speaking eye beam'd with superior sense, And e'en his tail's mute wag was eloquence I So wise a dog he was, so high did he Soar o'er his canine tribe and pedigree, That if the truth Pythag'ras wrote and said, Some sage's soul, sure, dwelt on Mungo's head!

Tegg, London Lace and Addison, Liverpool , The calamitous earthquake which lately devastated the West India Islands has attracted the attention of the whole world, and the utmost commiseration has been felt for the sufferers. The pamphlet now under notice details most ably the various disasters, the fearful desolation, that resulted from the terrific convulsion. Those who wish to have the full particulars of the event need only become possessed of this work for the fulles t information. The following extracts will be read with in terest. The morning of the earthquake " When all this is arranged, I shall stand in great need For some lights for my altar : it grieves me indeed To find that there is not a candlestick here, Not a vestige of one; and to me it is clear That Cromwell's vile men knocked them all on the head When they sought to establish their new lights instead : Now it is my intention to set up thirteen, — That's enough for the candlestick ; next comes the screen, For which 1 must order some plaster and paints, As I'm anxious anew to bedizen my saints ; There is one wants a head, another a nose, — St. Chad has no fingers, St. Crispin no toes ; The stigmata gone from St. Francis's hands ; Without arrows or wounds St. Sebastian stands ; Poor St. lirsula's there, but she hasn't a rag on ; Of a hook most obscure St. Augustine's the bearer, And St. Gregory needs a new papal tiara. The sight of the windows would make you quite sad; I must have some stained glass if it is to be had. The king's arms once shone there but have now no supporters; The Puritans broke them and gave them no quarter : In the shields you can't separate azure from or, Every coat is abated by gusset and gore. What reformers began the churchwardens have finished, All the figures misplaced, and their glories diminished; For (would you believe it ?) these odious old tussles Have twisted and turned them like so many puzzles; They've murdered St. Denis, they've set on his head, 'Tis not borne on his bands, but his shoulders instead! Among other queer changes what think you I've pounced on ? The Devil is taking the nose of St. Dunstan! There are angels sans wings, and the beeves are flying, Tne martyrs are slaying, the torturers dying ; And unluckily St. Cuthbert they cleverly chew there, With his head in one window, his trunk in another; And with horrors no tyrant could dare to invent, I Saw, " Repaired in the year 1720" Stuck in bright yellow glass through the midst of St. James ! These miscreants should all be condemned to the flames. The surplice is covered with stains old and recent, And I'm sure that it looks neither " comely" nor" decent." A new one of lawn shall be made at my charge, The skirts shall be full, and the sleeves shall be large : This at least I will have. I may shortly, I hope, Bear a cross on my scarf, and most surely a cope." is thus described : " The morning of th e Bth February, 1843. presented they s ame blue sky, the same b ri g ht sunshine, w hich so genera distinguishes these tropic isles. A few white fleecy vapours were skimming along the heavens ; while upon the y o u tops rested a few darker clouds, such as usually presage slight showers. But there was no particular appearance in the atmosphere —nothing that could prove an indication of what was so soon to take place ! About half-past ten o'clock, a.m., a low, hollow, rumbling sound wasp erceived, like to the approach of some heavy piece of artillery ; then a tremor of the earth was felt, slight at first, but which increased with fearful violence." The effect is thus described : " The damage done is imm ense. In the ca capital some of the finest stores are but a m ass of ruis, their houses in or e rent, and caused the inhabita nts to 11y from the greatest consternation. Dire were the tessings, deep the groans ! as the stone dwelling-houses and stores crashed and crushed, and fell beneath the Might! werewhat ' shook so terribly the earth.' The wooden buildings waved to and fro, like to the tall and slender pine-tree naaf i bends beneath the slightest breeze; while the solid grou lterally heaved and trembled as the helmws of the ocean do when the stormy winds arise! ' uatio also of the hills moped, and were shaken !' Oh ! awful—trulY, tru ly aw ful ~---were the three or four minutes that bespoke the duration of the earth quake, which apparently increased in violence as it increased in time, which seemed then to have added leaden powers to its wings, and made its moments hours. Oh ! heart-rending were the screamings ther e as the frightened inha in the bitants rushed out of dwellings to s eek safety open streets THE DESTRUCTION IN THE RURAL DISTRICTS. " From all parts of the country news has arrived of havoc an i d devastations. gnes, wind-mills, Upon several of the estates, steam-en have fallen a boiling-houses, and proprietors' dwellings, prey to the dreadful rocking of the earth. At t one estate the water in a large stone tank was thrown out by g be i violent shaking, and rushed down the hill, forming a i ma I . rivulet. In the cane-pieces, the cracking and groan ng or the canes could be distinctly heard, as whole fields were swayed u to and fro ;—while the labourers why were thrown pon their knees by the violence °f the oscillations. The Moravian i l le church at Cavan is said to be greatly injured, and estates in that district have suffered very much• Upon one the est report says, three negroes houses have sunk in a earthe n and, in the vicinity, the ground has opened, and pool of water o f a wh i te an d clear quality is formed. The church at Middle Island has also suffered; and in Old Road (in that neighbourhood) a portion of the cliff has fallen, ren dering the road almost impassable. Bevon Island Estate, in the p ar i s h o f St. John's, presents a most dilapidated appear ance :—the House,'' whole of the works, as well as the " Great were lifted up from the foundation, and hurled over the cliff into the mountain stream below. In the v ity of Sandy Point, at an estate belonging to the Payne family, the earthfumes also opened, and vomited forth, from its secret depths, of dank sulphurous vapour. Fort George, at Brim stone Hill, has felt the shock in a serious manner ; while the siountain itself is in many places despoiled of its beauty from the land-slips which have taken place. From NI ount Alisery, the g hi g h es t point of the island a log spiral cloud of white msike was s een to ascend during the nime of the earthquake; and the sulphurous s ring, situated in its centre, is said to have bubbled over." P g' Respecting Montserrat, a writer in the Antigua Weekly Register says : . 11 " I was about 500 yards yards from the Sulphur Pit, open: I g an o ld s p r i n g of fresh water - the earthquake commenced gradually, the oscillation slow j though sensible it was an earthquake I was under no apprehensi heard ' on till of a sudden I a dreadful noise. On looking towards the mountain over the Sulphur, it was enveloped in one mass of smoke, as I thought. It was then time to move my quarters, but was thrown upon my back from the violent motion. The path that I re t urne d, I observed cracking ' overl celled to the man to be cau tious—it was well we had got as we did, for the path was f a ll en i n . The mountain, to the extent of a mile, is r en t i n various places. A man this monsent has returned from the Sulphur, stating the crater is open, but does not perceive an usual." any greater appearance of smoke from it than The following statement is really curious, and is highly creditable to the persons in question r-- " Perhaps it has never occurred in the annals of history, that prisoners immured in a common jail behaved n the occasion of this lamentable catastrophe. Even in [cag e . cells where the walls were not sufficiently falle to adm it of ! t heir passing through the aperture, they were under . no re raint ; for the jailor, with admirable presence t i melyind, and imm upon kind feeling. unlocked all the prison doors the shoe . k ;— . yet still not ono offered to make hi s es ca p e ' Those though they individuals sentenced to work in the street gang, al sought their own camel .of an evening, returned, without compulsion, to their work n the morning; and in one instance, the master of the House of Correction received a note from one the culprits, apologising for his absence, h w . hich he attributed to the fact of having to assist in repairing is house, which had suffered from the earthquake, and pro mising to return as soon as he had fi nisbed,—is promise he faithfully kept. Also a girl who was suspected murder of h,er four brothers, in the felons' cell, for after visiting her friends and spending an hour or two with them, returns to her prison of an evening, as a bird to its nest. The appearance of the country must be lamentable. "Almost every kitchen and oven in the island is des troyed. The cisterns are nearly all cracked and rent ; and where such is not the case, the water has been so deeply im pregnated with sulphur, or mixed with the fallen mortar, or else th e spou ting has been nearly all torn down —so that fears are en t er t a i n ed of a serious season of rought, following upon this tremendous calamity. As I have already remarked, no language can justly describe the scene of desolation the streets present—the fallen bricks and stones strewing the pathway—the co stly furniture, in many instances, broken and ruined—the windows forced beneath of their places, and hanging by a single pin, or crushed the heavy walls ! casement some parts lie a broken jalousie —in others, a shattered eleg em u ent ; here, part of a wooden portico —there, the parti f a once pleasant balcony ! Broken timber, massy sto_ 9es , scattered shingles (used, instead of slates, for the roofs of buildings,) boards svrested out of their places, shi with thraefters, gallery rails, wooden partitions, some covered broken n. gaudy French paper, tattered and torn ; heaps of of life glass, costly lamps, handsome china ; all the luxuries uplifted which the ill-fated dwellings were once furnished ; h and shattered roofs, pigeon -houses, horse-stables, ,h ouses, negro-rooms, all thrown down, and huddled together, are to be seen in all parts of the town ; while the portions of the buildings are so shattered, that they stan ding look as if the finger of an infant could hurl them down, — e a h insecure as a pile of paper shreds, as fragile as the scattered oar frost 1 It is stated that a hundred and seventy sugar estates are seriously injured. " At Barbuda, an appendary island to An belonging to Sir Christopher Co drin g ton, the earthquake was f e lt very severely,—all the atone buildings, with the exception of a small school-room , are down. At the neighbouring islands the earthquake has been felt more or less severely. Barbadoes felt the shock but slightly ; as also St. Vincent's, Martinique, Dominica, and St. Tho mas. The accounts from Guadeloupe, which appears to have been the sea t of the convulsion cold. A French brig-, are indeed dreadful —enough to make the very blood run P a pillon, has arri ved at English Harbour (Antiof-w ar g ua) 'd the es patched by A dmiral Gourbeyre, gove rnor of Guadeloupe , to inquire into our state, and offer the assistance of its crew. The report she brings of Guadaloupe is most distressing, ls o ne whole tow n levelled with the ground, and 3,000 sou hurried into eternity ; and 600 severely wounded. Out of one entire street only one person, a female, was saved alive! The streets are covered with ruins to the depth of ten feet; and 300 men, after working for three days in clearing away the rubbish from one street, were only enabled to make a passage through, sufficiently wide for one person to pass. Soon after the earthquake, a fife broke out, occasioned from the live coals thrown about from the various falling ovens and kitchens, which destroyed what the earthqua k e spared. The dead bodies of the sufferers we re dragged out of the ruins, in order to be interred, as fast as possible ; but the mass of rubbish was ,to great, and the number of victims so many—while decomposition so soon takes place in these warm countries—that at length they were obliged to be left a prey to the devouring flames, which aided also in destroying life. The town of Basseterre, on the other side of the island, has not suffered greatly ; not many lives lost there. The few lives from Point au Pitre, the ,own, have lost their all from the aiarnitous fire and earthquake." that have escaped withth name of the u tunate 1 Paper Lantern for Puseyites. By o' t London : Smith, Elder, and Co I The above is a hurnourous poem in serio-comic rhyming phantasy. It has its alone merit in having hit upon a vein of afire not too retnotel) . That the s o called e i eva nt to the subj ect satir rapiu into extremes of diseiplinal details and ()ben-ranee: on the score of their antiquity, as w ell as into PA - t rinses of conatrwetion not always nns9phisticaled, of ind, but he rapid reader Puseyites ar running the doctrine, of the Metall church as expressed to her acknowledged formularies of creeds and articles on the score of an interpretation which, because held " übique et ab om nibus," has been supposed to enjoy a dignity or sovereign obligation under the title of ' Catholic,' whereby modern Christians are required to steer their own minds amidst the contradictions and ambiguities of patristic dogmatia, and su perstitious adulterations of the pure milk of the word'—that such course of dangerous dependence and self-shackled thought is carrying oat the only good of tradition into a cor responding evil, must be the real conviction of not only low churchmen, as they are called, but of high churchmen too, who wisely steering between the extremes of reckless Secta rian disregard of on the one hand, and of too obsequious a surrender on the other, to the le,;itimate force of tradition — preserve the alone consistent, enlightened, and golden me ' dium throughout their religious views. To such, both ' high and low,' as a pleasing mode of de veloping the absurd, a shorter way of dealing with points, the trivial nature of which does not admit of elaborate discus sion or argumentation, except by those whose time might certainly possibly be worse taken up, the above will be grate ful—the arrow of wit winged with satire affords the combina tion of instruction with amusement, whilst the powers of re flection, comparison, memory and ideality are brought into full and rapid exercise ; hence satire itself is not without its beneficial influence on the evolving mental faculties of the young student. The burlesque is not of a low order of mental effort, though often an effort of the low, to spice up this flat and muddy wit; it is really a first class talent when well and elegantly done. Albeit, many, like the ass in the fable, may copy with iron hoof the greater grace of the careesful lap dog. Whether sound theology or decrepit leanings of a bead and heart prove to idolatry of the golden remote, rather than respectful reverence of the early Christian witnesses, in our own land and elsewhere, are caricatured ; whether the touches are skilful or stupid—refined or coarse—we mean to invite the reader to judge for himself, having, after all we have said as to the former, in many points anticipated our conclusion; and as a mode of dealing with a subject, the latter resolves itself into a matter of taste, and " de gustibus non disputandum eat." We don't remark any unfairness in the caricature itself beyond what is its licensed province. We select the few following lines—supposed written by a young Puseyite clergyman, just inducted into a new sphere and an old church, wherein the grievous puritan dilapida tions he thus laments in an apostolical epistle to a brother clergyman : NEW SONG, Old Rosin the Beau. American air. Written by J. B. Buck atone, Esq. Liverpool : Hime and Son. This capital song, which Mrs. Fitzwilliam sang with so much applause at the Liver Theatre, has been published, with a portrait of the songstress on the title page. it is one of the hest songs of the sort we have heard, and never fails , if sung with humour, to excite much amusement. It is quite as good, in fact better, than Jim Crow and fifty others. A FLIGHT IN THE AERIAL. (From Tait's Magazine for June.) " It's no use, gentlemen," said Henson, pleasantly but firmly. " We're ready to start. A great problem in science is on the eve of being solved. I put it to you as men of education, as philanthropists. Will you, for a small matter of personal comfort, delay the great exper i ment ?" . . - . " Oh, it," exclaimed the modern Hogartb, " science is all very well, and philanthropy may be so too—although I never knew a philanthropist yet that was not a scoundrel— but I'll see them both at the bottom of the ocean before I'll consent to be shut up in a furnace, like Monsieur Chabert. I'm not a salamander." " It is most probable that we shall all be at the bottom of the ocean if you or some other of our friends don't accept the vacant shovel," said Henson, smiling. He stepped back and called down something into the engine-room ; then ad vancing to the end of the cabin, he lifted a hatchet that was lying beside a large pin, around which was coiled a cable of the thickness of your arm, and with two rapid strokes cut the rope in two. That instant the vessel shut forward like an arrow. Cruikahank disappeared under the table, I was projected into Lever's lap, Ainsworth and Jenkins embraced each other on the floor. " Now, gentlemen, settle it among yourselves," said Hen son, taking his seat very quietly between the tiller ropes. " We are off, and mutt have a stoker." " Remonstrance was now fruitless. We therefore picked ourselves up and proceeded to draw lots for the vacant posts with the best grace we could. Meanwhile Cruikahank kept muttering dark sayings about `unhandsome advantage,' and making gestures typical of a desire to have a little fancy sparring with Mr. Henson. But when he drew the steward's place, the berth which he had previously destined for himself, h• became wonderfully tranquil, nay, even smiled at Ains worth's look of horror, when the dreaded post of stoker fell to his lot. I drew the cook's place, Jenkins the cabin boy's; and that the joke might be thoroughly kept up, Lever under took to be the gentleman of the party. " Ainsworth, my lad, let me mix you a tumbler," said Cruikahank, who had by this time ensconced himself behind a chevaux-de-frize of bottles, flanked by two enormous bastion of loaf-sugar, and garrisoned with a large supply of shot in the shape of limes. "It will do you good before you turn in for the night. Warm work, you know !" "You'll excuse me, Mr. Cruikahank; I've had one stoker tipsy to-night already," here broke in our conductor. " Not a drop till daylight. Mr. Ainsworth, the fire's getting low, I see," he continued, as he glanced through a wicket behind him, which commanded a view of the furnace. " You'll require to turn in and watch it." " Good night, my dear fellow," said we all, pressing round the author of Rookwood, and shaking him affectionately by the hand. "It might have been our own case, you know." " I wish to heaven it had !" said William Harrison, dash ing into the engine-room, which Henson deliberately locked behind him. _ _ " Upon my soul, Duggins," said I, " our friend Ainsworth was much to be pitied. I dare say he would rather have been in his own Well-hole. But the bottle's done. Capital wine tins, is it not? Lieschen, mein Liebeskind, kommen S'ie herauf Ein anderes Flaschen Geisenheirner I" " Mit Vergnugen. " replied the pretty Lieschen, our land lady's daughter, placing another flask on the table. "Schmeckt das out ? Nicht wahr l" " liimmlisch ! Well, and how did you get on, after Ains worth entered upon his fiery task!" " Why, the fact is, after that we turned to, and made our selves as comfortable as possible. Lever told capital stories —Cruikshauk brewed capital punch ;—as for Jenkins, we despatched him to the steward's room to wash the dishes and clean our boots, for fear of his dragging our conversation into his next hook. The motion of the vevel, which pursued is way steadily through the air, became very pleasant, after a little, and we were as merry as possible. 1 soon became very drowsy. Perhaps it might be the rarefied air that overcame m e, although 1 believe we took no great altitude at first either ; or perhaps it might be the punch, or both ; but I believe I fell asleep about eleven, singing the chorus of ' We fly by night,' which Henson led off with great taste and no s mall execution." " I dare say your aerial chant was regarded as the music o f the spheres by any gentleman of a poetical turn who may have heard you. ' " Very possibly. But if you're done with that bottle ? Thank you !" Duggins refreshed himself with a potent pull a t the Geisenheimer, and continued. " When day dawned we found ourselves skimming over the blue waters of the Mediterranean sea. The prospect was divine. To the east, on the very verge of the horizon, Malta appeared like a black speck against the brilliant orange hue which the rising sun sent forth as the precursor of his coming. To the west lay the Sierras of Spain, still wrapped in the fog and gloom of night ; whilst the snowy tops of the Atlas range, towards which we were approaching, shone with that rosy light, which the denizen of the Alps beholds, ere, girding himself for the pursuit of the chamois, he prefers his prayer from the lowly valley to the blessed saint, whose star rests like a halo upon the Jungfrau's untrodden summit !" "That's very pretty, Duggins," said I, with a slight yawn, " but we hav'n't time for that sort of thing just now ; so pray keep to facts, will you, and we'll imagine the poetry." " Having satiated my curiosity with a view of the external landscape, I next directed my attention to my fellow-voyagers. Lever lay sound asleep with his legs stretching across the table. A purple velvet nightcap and gold tassel gracefully concealed his right eye; and the batt end of a cigar, with about an inch of grey ashes, was firmly fixed between his lips. The head of Cruikshenk lay upon the table, under shelter of his right arm. Upon the thumb-nail of his left haud, which grasped an empty tumbler. I observed a sketch of myself. It was wretchedly drawn, and therefore, before awakening him, I took an opportunity of erasing it. At the extreme end of the car sat Henson, wrapped in a huge pilot coolt, his vigilant clear eye dilated with the consciousness of superior genius, and the tiller ropes noosed around his arm. " Good morning, Master Duggins !" said he. " You've slept well, considering the precious row we had on board last night." " Gracious heavens !" said I, " did anything go wrong with the machinery ?" " Shiver my vanes! no," replied Henson ; " we've had a glorious run of it. Light airs and catspaws from the north west by north, since two bells. Only, d'ye see, there was something like a mutiny on board. Our stoker was going to strike work, because we refused him an allowance of grog ; but I heat all hands to quarters, and we soon made him belay his jaw. He's quiet enough now, I reckon." " A horrid suspicion seized nie. Could they have pitched Ainsworth overboard? I believe the thought was legibly written on my countenance, for Henson gave a short gruff laugh, and continued— -- "WVhy, no—we didn't do that exactly, for we couldn't spare him; but we shut him up in the boiler, and told him. that if he didn't work there like a good 'un till seven bells, he had very little chance of ever tasting half-and-half again. He roared a good deal for the first half-watch, and wouldn't . poke the fire, but I turned in o jet of stem upon him, and that settled the business. He does his work now as bandy as if he had been bred to it. Boiler, ahoy!" " Boiler it is, sir'." replied a faint voice from the interior. " Chuck on another half hundred-weight of coke, will you, and then you can have a mouthful of fresh air !" " A sudden scrambling and scratching in the bowels of the copper cone evinced the increased activity of its occupant. " Ha 1 Duggins, my hearty, how are you ?" said Lever, awaking. " Henson, my trump, how do you find yourself? Where the deuce may we be now ? over the Mediterranean, eh ? Well, that's some fun! That's Algiers, I suppose, in the distance,—suppose we stoop down and take it from the French ? Hallo! Cruikahank, my buck ! waken up, will you, and give us a bottle of soda-water with a bottom of SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

" Cruikshank did as he was desired, and Lever rattled on— " Devilish good stuff this, after a hard night's swizzling Duggias, do you think you could knock off a spatch-cock, or a kidney with a slight sprinkling of cayenne ? Try it—that's a good fellow. I say, Henson,—what the deuce have you made of Ainsworth ? I could hardly get a wink of sleep for his confounded bellowing in the boiler." " I dare say, Master Charley," said Cruikshank, a little offended at the cavalier manner in which Lever seemed dis posed to treat his friend ; " I dare say you'd be rather apt to bellow yourself, if you were shut in there without a drop of anything to wet your whistle. He hadn't six stiff tumblers and a snooze after them to keep him fresh." " Which you had, at the very least, friend George," re torted Lever. " But, hang it, after all, it's not right to muzzle the ox that treads out the coke, eh? I say, Henson, do you think it would be safe to let the poor devil out for an hour or so? We can easily shove him in again, you know, when he's wanted." " Henson swept the horison with his telescope, noted down some figures on a scrap of paper, and then appeared absorbed in calculation. "By the quadrant less seven," he said, after a pause. " I think he may come out now. There's no chance of a squall on this side the equator, and there's fuel enough in the fur. 'lace to keep us going as far as the mountains of the Moon. Tumble out, my kiddy 1" and he drew back the bolt. " Poor Ainsworth ! When he entered the Aerial he was in ripe and ruddy condition, plump as a Dunstable lark, and full of fun and frolic. Now, he crawled out from his den, a spectral emaciated figure ; his long hair, matted with ashes and sweat, hung around his cheeks like a bunch of tallow dips tied together by the wicks ; his face was streaked with a fancy ochre formed by the combination of steam and cinders; and his elegant apparel, which might formerly have electri fied Piccadilly, was now woefully soiled, and in some places burned into patches. His first action was to clutch convul sively at a jug of beer which he drained to the very dregs. He then threw himself upon a sofa and scowled moodily around. "Ainsworth, my fine fellow!" said Lever, by way of soothing him. " you've had a long spell of it, and we all feel devilishly obliged. Take a drop more beer. Cruikshank, look sharp, will, and handle the tap." " William Harrison glared wildly at him. He said nothing, however, but took the beer. " When I was a child," said I, cheerfully, hoping to allay the irritation of my friend, " quite a little child, you know — a thing full of life and joy—l remember to have tumbled, on a rainy day, over a heap of ashes, and to hare been very much in the same plight with yourself. Would you like to wash your face, my dear fellow ?" " Driz my kemesa !" said Ainsworth, savagely. " Give us none of your gammon, Master Duggins, for I won t sifind no nonsense." " Quite right," said Lever ; " devilish spirited answer. I say, Duggins, where's that spatch-cock you promised to make about an hour ago? Look sharp, will you? Why, confound it, man, are you to sit there all day with your hands in your pockets, doing nothing? Joint-stock work, you know—division of labour, eh ? That's it. Ladle away with the cayenne. Cruikshank, I'll thank you for another glass of soda and cogniae ; (a light for my cigar, Jenkins!) and then squeeze a lemon or two into that bowl,—a glass of weak rum-punch will do us no harm, eh, Henson ? and I've a notion we shall find it confoundedly hot in crossing the great Zahara desert. Ainsworth, my good fellow, 'pon my soul you'd better dip your head in that bucket. You'd improve your appearance vastly.—Eh! what was that ?—a cannon shot ? By George! we're above Algiers ; and these con founded French are firing at us 1" " Sure enough a cannon-ball came whistling up within three yards of the larboard sail, and reaching its upmost point of elevation, about a hundred feet above us, turned in the air, and fell straight down with immense velocity to the earth. It went crash into a minaret. " There's a muezzin done for !" cried Lever, who had been staring down through a telescope. " Henson grew pale. " If they hit the engine," said he, " or even shiver the canvass, it's all up with us. Blast them I there's another fellow below pointing a gun !" " Short sixes, I perceive," said Lever. " Hand me that rifle, will you ?—bang !—there goes the artilleryman on the rampart, tumbling over like a dolphin with a hole through his jacket ; and I guess, by this time we're pretty well out of their range." " And so it proved. Five more guns were fired at us from the batteries of Algiers; but the shot, as Lever predicted, fell short of the mark, and no injury ensued. I must con fess, however, that I felt rather nervous until the roar of the artillery was silenced." VARIETIES. PxAsANTs orl POOR SPAIN.—The number of spanish peasants who come over the mountains here from Aragon add very much to the enjoyment of the place. Their dress, particularly that of the men, is more picteresque than any fever saw, though I thought none could be more beautiful than that of the Catalonians we saw in the valley of Aran. ... These wear a high conical hat, with a broad brim), embroderad and tasseled ; a ooat of green velvet, witd richly embroidered collar and breast ; a waistcoat of brocaded satin, a red or sometimes blue silk scarf tied round the waist, brown striped callottes, garters embroidered in gold, blue stockings, and sandals. Some have a large brown cloak banging over one shoulder, which does not conceal their brilliant attire, and they hold it with such a graceful and regal air, that one can not imagine those majestic and most independent looking beings can be peasants.—Lady Cliallerlon's Excursions into Spain. SKETCH OF A MANCHESTER WAREHOUSE.—The old- established firm of Anthony Chuzzlewit and Son, Manche ter, warehousemen, and so forth, had its place of business a very narrow street, somewhere behind the post-office ; where every house was in the brightest summer morning very gloomy ; and where light porters watered the pavement, each before his own employer's premises, in fantastic pat terns, in the dog days ' • and where spruce gentlemen with their hands in the pockets of symmetrical trousers, were always to be seen in warm weather contemplating their undeniable boots in dusty warehouse doorways, which ap peared to be the hardest work they did, except now and then carrying pens behind their ears. A dim, dirty, smoky, tum ble-down, rotten old house it was, as anybody would desire to see; but there the firm of Anthony Chuzzlewit and Son transacted all their business and their pleasure too, such as it was ; for neither the young man nor the old had any other residence, or any care or thought beyond its narrow limits. — Martin Chuzzlewit. AN OLD THIEF'S TREASCRIL—For some weeks past the guardians of the different markets of the Quartier des Inno cens had remarked the constant presence of a woman named Lecointre, whose manners and language excited their suspi: ciou. They accordingly resolved to watch her narrowly, and detect her if they could in some of the acts of which thay sus pected her to be guilty. They had not long to wait before they discovered her in the act of committing a robbery of money and jewellery. When she was take❑ before the com missioner of police she confessed that she had several times been convicted, and that she was still under surveillance, which prevented her from going to Paris. Having traced out her retreat they proceeded to search the premises, but found nothing, until it occurred to the commissioner to examine the bed ; upon which the woman cried out—" Don't touch my bed ; there is nothing suspicious there ; but you have no right to seize anybody's bed. The law respects the bed of the poor." The commissioner, however, told her she was mistaken, and continued the search ; the result of which was, that tkey discovered the end of a stove-pipe under the mat tress, containing the produce of a great many robberies com mitted by this woman. Amongst the property were three gold watches, five valuable brooches, a quantity of rings, ear rings, necklaces, and other articles of jewellery, besides a sum of about 3000 f. in gold and silver monies. On being asked to explain how she came into possession of property so little according with the wretchedness of the room, she invented an improbable tale about a man whom she had known in her youth having given it to her. The money she pretended to have earned by her labour ; but neither of these improbable stories being believed she was sent to pr icon, and the property taken possession of by the proper authorities.—Paris paper. Tins Warrsa..—He attributes all virtues to everybody, provided they are civil and liberal ; and of the existence of some vices he hat no notion. Gluttony, for instance, with him, is not only inconceivable, but looks ♦ery like a virtue. He sees in it only so many more " beefs," and the generous scorn of the bill. As to wine, or almost any other liquor, it is out of your power to astonish him with the quantity you call for. His " Yes, sir," is as swift, indifferent, and official at the fifth bottle as at the first. Reform, and other public events, he looks upon purely as things in the newspapers, and the newspaper as a thing taken in at taverns for gentle men to read. His own reading is confined to " accidents and offences," and the advertisements for butlers, which latter he peruses with an admiring fear, not choosing to give up a " certainty." When young, he was always in a hurry, and exasperated his mistress by running against other waiters, and breaking the " neguses." As he gets older he learns to unite swiftness with caution ; declines wasting his breath on immediate answers to calls; and knows, with a slight turn of his face and elevation of his voice, into what precise corner of the room to pitch his " Coming sir." If you told bun that in Shakepeare's time waiters said, " Anon, anon," he would be astonished at the repetition of the same word in one answer, and at the use of three words instead of two, and he would justly infer that London could not have been so large, nor the chop-houses so busy in those days. He would drop one of the two syllables of his " Yes, sir," if he could ; but business and civility will not allow it, and, therefore, he does what he can by running them together in the swift sufficiency of his " Yezzir." " Thomas!" " Yezzir." "Is my steak coming ?" " Yezzir." " And the pint of port ?" " Yezzir." " You'll not forget the postman ?" " Yezzir." For, in the habit of his acquiescence, Thomas not seldom says "Yes, sir," for " No, sir," the habit itself rendering him intelligible.—Leigh Hunt. ENGLISH LITICRARY CUARACTERS.—Lady Blessington is the widow of an earl, with an allowance of £-1,000 a year, and, though she receives no ladies, she is visited by a circle of men of rank and political eminence, who would, probably, know little of her as simply the authoress of the works that bear her name. Lady Stepney and Lady Charlotte Bury are also women of rank, and the former gives very fine parties, that certainly would not be drawn together by her mere lit erary fame over a cup of tea at the east end. Mr. I3ulwer comes of a very aristocratic family, is a member of parliament, and has £1,200 a year for his private fortune, besides being an elegant of the first water. D'lsraeli has married a very rich and very fashionable widow, and in his beautiful mansion in Park-lane, cares very little for any consequence given to him as the author of " Vivian Grey." Lady Chatterton's position is rather damaged than bettered by weak-tea scrib blings; and the Hon. John Wilson Croker is a political whipper-in, and inherits some of the tainted gold of his friend, the dissolute Marquis of Hertford. Lady Morgan's husband was knialited in a frolic by the lord-lieutenant of Ireland, though we are not sure that Sir Charles does not diminish somewhat the lustre of her very brilliant ladyship. Lady Emeline Stuart Wortley's productions are the pungent mortification of her titled husband, and the naval authors find in literature, as a social influence, neither an advantage nor a detriment. Christopher North is a professor of moral philosophy, and Lockhart married the daughter of Walter Scott, and these are circumstances to which they owe some of the advantages to their positon. These are most of those among the literary notabilities whose standing in society is mainly based on other than literary foundations. But there is a large class merely distinguished as literary men, whose social consequence is, in all its bearings, little understood in this country. Thomas Moore, Mr. Wordsworth, Mr. Proctor (Barry Cornwall), Tho►nas Hood, Mr. Ainsworth. and some others, are frequently guests at the tables of the nobility and aristocratic gentry of England. But, at these same tables, Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Wordsworth, Mrs. Proctor, Mrs. flood, and Mrs. Ainsworth are never seen and seldom asked for or thought of. The author and his wife are not one in the code of fashion ; but this humiliating distinction, which at the first blast seems, as Dogberry says, "very tol erable and not to he endured," is, upon reflection, so much a convenience to authors, that it is doubtful whether the habit of inviting them singly did not grow from their own sugges tion and practice.—Brother Jonathan, edited by N.

Precisely at three o'clock, during a sm a rt s ho we r, th e horses reached the post in a line, and the word being given, got off excellently. Gaper took the lead at a strong pace, followed closely by Khorassan, Cotherstone, and Gorham bury next, and well up with them Sirikol, Newcourt, A Bri tish Yeoman, Elixir, and two or three others ; in the rear were Murton, Lordship, and Highlander, and there they remained to the end of the chapter. The leading horses maintained their positions till near the turn, where, so great had been the pace, we looked in vain for Aristides, Newcourt, and Elixir—they had succumbed, and the second ruck was composed of Cbotornian, Fakeaway, and A British Yeoman, but neither with any chance. Gaper continued; the lead a few strides over the road, and then, quite beaten, fell behind with Khorassen ; Cotherstone immediately took up the run ning, followed by Gorhambury, Sirikol third, and in this or der the race finished, Cotherstone increasing his lead from the stand, and winning in a common canter by two lengths ; Gorhambury was three lengths before Sirikol, whe beat Gaper about a length, the latter having a similar advantage over Khorassan. Three or four lengths behind were Fake away, Chotorman, and A British Yeoman, each claiming to be sixth. We cannot decide the point, nor can we pretend to say in what rotation the others ran home. The pace from first to last was tremendous. Value of the stakes £4,225.

ANECDOTE OF SHETLAND LIFE.—It was a beautiful day last year, early in autumn, before harvest work in this northern region had commenced, that a young and merry party crossed the bleak hills of one of the remote Shetland isles, from the most northerly dwelling of man in her Ma jesty's dominions, towards the parish church--for so is here the custom—to witness the ceremony of marriage between two of their number. The bride was a lovely girl, in her nineteenth year. She was in a simple dress of white—white shawl, white satin ribbons in her neat cap, and the rather unusual finery for a cottage maid (a present, however) of white kid gloves. Her whole appearance was strikingly prepossessing ; and in face, figure, and demeanour, would, I thought, have adorned a much higher station. Her bride groom was a few days older, and their courtship had been even from the days of childhood. Some circumstances had occurred to defeat their union for a few months beyond the time intended, but at length they stood before the minister who was to joie their lot in one. Part of their landlord's family met them at the church, to officiate as bride's maid and man ; and the whole party, including a son of a well known and much-respected ornament of the law in Edin burgh, who happened to be on a visit to the island, soon retraced their steps to the hyperborean cottage to spend the evening in dancing, and other amusements suitable to the occasion. Healths were pledged to the happiness of the youthful pair of course, but we rarely find intem perance sullying such meetings in Shetland. The newly united couple were poor in worldly goods, but he was a clever and adventurous fisherman, and she had been brought up to be frugal and industrious, and they had mutual love in strength and purity to light them on their path through " the world that was before them." So, after a few days, they repaired to their future home, in the cottage of the bride groom's father. It was about the same time this year I saw the youthful mother carry her first-born to church for bap tism, though a little paler than when she stood in the same spot a bride ; yet she looked all the more interesting. Once more she was in the same white dress ; and I marked the blush of modest pride that flushed her cheek, as she sought and caught her father's eye, while the name of her mother was pronounced over her child. The responsive tear trem bled in my own eye as I marked hers filling, and my heart echoed the prayer that no doubt swelled in the young and happy parents' hearts. Not many weeks afterwards, when the cheerful festivities of Christmass were just approaching, after many days of stormy unsettled weather, a calm lovely morning invited my favourite Agnes to visit her own father's house for the few short hours of daylight which this season affords. Every object was reflected in the calm bright mir ror of the placid ocean, and the air was balmy as on a day in June. She took her child in her arms, and left her husband with his father and brother engaged on some little work of husbandry on their small farm. She called to him cheerfully as she passed at a little distance, to come for her before the evening darkened, and he returned an affectionate assent. Alas, for the young hearts severed then for ever! Very shortly after Agnes's departure, some of their neighbours proposed to go to the fishing, and two lads from a little dis tance arriving, with their tackle and bait, without waiting for their own usual boat-fellows, as the forenoon was advancing, the father and two sons I have mentioned set off, in company with another boat, to the fishing ground, six miles off the north point of the land. They had nearly reached the spot, when a sudden storm arose. The tide was at the full, and the force of the north Atlantic rushed in with the speed of a whirlwind on tne poor devoted crews. One of the boats was well manned, and reached the land in safety ; he and his brother were the only efficient men—their aged father and the two lads above alluded to composing all the crew. They were never heard of ; the deep and turbid sea, doubtless, overwhelmed them ; and till the day when the " sea shall give up her dead," how they met their fate can never be known. We shall draw a veil over the sorrows of the heart stricken survivors of the catastrophe—the aged and desolate woman bereft of her husband and both her sons ' • a destitute widow and large family of one of them ; a ycuthful bride of one of the younger men ; a despairing mother of the other, who has, in him, lost her only surviving stay, having two years ago, by a precisely similar catastrophe, had to mourn for husband, son, and son-in-law ; and last, though not least, the poor Agnes, on whose little story I have been dwelling with melancholy interest. What were her feelings when the fierce and sudden storm arose, sweeping over the waste of waters she was gazing on ? She believed her husband safe on shore ! First came to her ear reports that boats were gone to sea. Who were in them? When the one boat arrived, the hardy crew, utterly exhausted with the efforts for their lives, the alarm was raised, and very shortly it became evi dent that the other would never reach the land. The storm subsided as rapidly as it had risen; but its appointed work was accomplished ; and under the all-wise direction of the Ruler of wind and waves, it had summoned to his dread tri bunal the souls of these poor fishermen. Poor Agnes ; with what feelings shall I look on her pale expressive countenance, now clad in the weeds of heartfelt sorrow. She remains in the dwelling of her father, of which she was the pride and joy, and where she is now not the less tenderly cherished, be cause of her irreparable misfortune.—Chamberis Journal. &Dipping intriltgrnce.

We have had almost uninterrupted heavy rain during the past two days, and although no serious injury appears to he already entertained, complaints are now prevalent from many quarters of too much wet having fallen, and the con sequent want of warm sunshine. Our fresh supplies of all articles are moderate, and the trade generally has remained very firm from the close of Tuesday's market to the present date, with a tendency to further advance in the value of Wheat, of which purchases to a fair extent have been made by our millers ; and the stocks continue to decrease gradually. At the commencement of business at our Corn Exchange to-day, holders of Wheat evinced an increased degree of con fidence, and generally disinclined to press sales, required 2d. to 3d. per 70 lbs above Tuesday's rates ; the millers, however, resisting the advance, bought very cautiously, and indepen dent of about 2,500 qrs. of old Baltic and Mediterranean Wheat taken on speculation, with a few parcels for Irish consumption, the transactions were very unimportant, the trade for all descriptions of this grain closing at scarcely an improvement of Id. to 2d. over our last quotations. English and Irish Flour met some inquiry. but being held Is per sack over late prices, sales appeared to progress rather slowly ; and except for very choice brands, States and Cana dian remained stationary in value. Barley and Malt steadily maintained former prices. Beans and Pease, with a very limited demand, barely equalled the terms last noted. ARRIV From the 30th May to 1 RN DESCRIPTION.

The weather, in contradistinction to the reports from the south, was very fine here yesterday, and although we have a slight rain this morning, our market to-day has not received that impulse from the rise in London which might have been expected ; for notwithstanding the trade for Wheat opened with great firmness on the part of holders, and much higher prices were required, an actual improvement of more than Id. to 2d. per 70Ibs. over the currency of this day week was unattainable; arid the millers reluctantly paying the advance, the transactions in any description of this grain were upon a very moderate scale. tates and Canadian Flour were held at the amendment of Friday, and English as well as Irish Is. per sack higher than on this day week, which serving to check the demand, few sales were effected. Barley, Beans, and Pease, were saleable in retail parcels only at late prices ; and Malt, in consequence of the large supply at hand, barely maintained our last quotations. Oats being taken off sparingly to-day, remained stationary in value; whilst Oatmeal, continuing to meet inquiry, real ized, but not read►ly, an advance of 6d. per 240 lbs. upon the rates of this day se'nnight.
