DREAMER OF REALITIES (From George Cruikshank's Table Book.) I heard a mighty noise in the great city, a loud laugh ter, and a shriek of exultation, as though it were a period of merriment, and yet not all merriment, for the laugh, though it was loud, was hollow in its sound ; and the shriek, although it was triumphant, was harsh, and almost frantic. And I was raised—as one can be only in dreams —to an eminence, wh nce I looked down on the city, with its great streets, its lanes, and its alleys, as we look on a panorama. How great was the tumult in every direction ! Men of messed forward, pushing and scuffling, all ~ards one central point. The lazy bloated rich seemed to have acquired new activity ; the pallid face of the poor was illumined by a hectic flush ; the industrious had flung aside the implements of his toil : there were many men, but there was one spirit infused by some magic power into the whole. I turned my eyes towards an eminence in the great city, for thither I saw the people were tending; and strange was the sight I beheld. A gigantic form, seemingly fashioned of iron, but animated by a sort of semi -life, was seated as on a throne. Th e eyes fl as h ed, but it was with the red ness of fire, not with the life-sparkle of humanity; the breath , of the nostrils was a thick white vapour, which reached the far distance ere it began to disperse. The oc cupation of the figure was unpoetical enough. In each mar of its huge mouth it held a large iron pipe, through • '-w innumerable spheres, that all glittered like .d about in the air : and it was strange .ous face the figure made when it had e than usual quantity of these floating lips forced themselves into a hard merha , if through the workings of a stiff unwilling ; and it was difficult to say whether this smile sort of heavy satisfaction, or whether it was 'h something of fronv every rank pr crowd inz as winch it gold, an( 'e wafte what a curi I out a more erections. Tt nical smile, as organisatio expressed not mingled now perceived the object of all the crowding and pushing on the part of the multitude. The glittering sur faces of the spheres flashed upon their eves, and blinded them to all else. The possession of these had become the Ile object of those who gazed on them, and it was with intensity of passion that they jostled and crushed each puriuit. The spheres, I observed were of nuterent natures. orcie, when touched, gave a , metallic sound, and seemed really to be formed of precious mate rial, and to possess some solidity ; others were so flimsy, that, the least breath seemed sufficient to annihilate them. I saw this ; but the mob below me did not distinction : nay, the flimsiest balls rsued the most. other in t a seem a re of t ere often p Soon a .....cnon presented itself. I saw several range themselves in little groups, in which ...st each other with the wildest disorder; n every one of these groups was a host of peo rieked and roared as the balls struck together, that some particular one would escape unin -.rd a great shout of " The Board ! the ently all the spheres in a group burst, :h sparkled more brightly than ever.

This was sedulously kept up by many .-looking persons, such as lean mustachiod vagrants, and .nen with the feverish air of desperate gamesters ; but it was also maintained by many benevolent-looking folks, in whose countenances honesty was most plainly written. Moving behind the figure, I found it equally difficult to come to a result ; for there was Mammon reclining on a soft couch, in bodily luxury and mental misery : there was Poverty wailing in the midst of her rags, and there was Fraud, with his bland smiles, and little twinkling eyes. But there also stood the fair form of Civilization tram pling on the implements of war, and holding in her bands light ornamented chain, with which she declared that would unite all mankind as in brotherhood. ,g all this time the sky was clear, and the sun hone brightly . the crowded streets.

The eyes of the figure flashed less brightly, and there seemed less vigour in its iron joints. Nay, it tottered and shook, and seemed as if it maintained itself with difficulty and when I looked on the group behind it, I observed that Mammon rolled more uneasily on his couch, while Fraud trembled, and Poverty shrieked louder than before. But Civilization looked towards Heaven with a firm counte nance, and seemed not to heed the uneasiness of the rest. And the glass again appeared before me, but the hand was dull as steel when it is breathed upon, and it pointed to rved in every street were somew rrnlind and gloomy I turned to t rd Pet The gloomy stillness did not last long. A strange rum bling noise proceeded from the interior of the figure, and the people audibly expressed their terror. This was done ns, such as I did not understand. Some, would utter the word call," and at this would grow as pale as death. Then arose a murmuring sound about " heavy differences" and " re sponsibilities," and a panic," and many were cursing the hour when the giant first appeared in the great city. Many other bubbles had burst besides those I had seen ; and even those who hsd secured for themselves the more precious boons, I saw hugging them with wild uneasiness, as if they feared they would vanish like the rest. Presently all joined in one terrible shout, " Here comes the crisis!" id on this, there was an explosion so fearful that I awoke, t not before I saw the limbs of the giant scattered in -y direction, and myriads shattered by the burst, or The glass was gone, but for a moment, in lightning, there flashed upon my eyes the in strange t for instaneF m4ny a c flying in alarm if w ritt word DISCOUN ess. the form of Civilization stood amid the gs hopeful and as placid as ever. fusion, looki A friend of the late Thomas Hood's, afflicted with the same mania, said, with tears standing in his eye, " Ah, poor fellow—died from motives of generosity—wanted to enable the undertaker to urn a lively-Hood.' .. 10 BE STIPPORTED.—We take the following from a work, just published, entitled " Maxims, &c., of the Duke o f W e lli ng t on " : i t was uttered by his Grace, in July 1833 :—" It is our duty in every case to do, all we can to promote the Protestant religion. It is our duty to do so, not only on account of the political relations between the religion of the Church of England and the government, but because we believe it to be the purest doctrine, and the best system of religion that can be offered to a people." The following is an extract from another of his Grace's speeches in the same year:—" His Majesty has sworn to maintain the established Church of England in Ireland; and secondly, in the very last ar rangements made to remove the disabilities, as well of the dissenters from the Church of England, as of the Roman Catholics of Ireland, words were inserted in the oaths to be taken by them for the security of the Protes tant establishment. I consider these oaths as principles; and that we ought not to run counter to them in any manner whatever." Would that the Duke had carried 't these principles throughout his public life!

From the concurrent testimony of Diodorus Siculus and Pliny, it appears that the gold was obtained from the mines of Otabus, on the Upper Nile, which have been worked for gold- since the Christian era, but have been latterly neglected. The gold dust, however, as appears from the monuments, came from Nigritia or Abyssinia, whence the present Pasha of Egypt is making an effort to reobtain it."—Polytechnic Review. and elegant tomb of Rames prising beaut THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

Over the door of the che mist, who lives there, appears the medallion from which that on his tomb is copied ; and there are some remains of the original carved front of the building, which was pro bably very highly ornamented. His garden is shown, but, except a few strong vases and a seat, little is left which dates from his time ; the present proprietor has filled up the space with grotto work, and serpentine walks between walls and pyramids of spar and shells, excluding the view of the flowers and shrubs, and, in particular, with reso lute bad taste, has placed one stone wall exactly in front of the arbour where the Man of Ross was accustomed to sit, and where it is likely Pope himself once contemplated the garden whose many retreats perhaps suggested some of the devious ways at his Twickenham villa. Just oppo site the house is " the Market Place," a venerable• look ing stone building, where he was in the habit of dividing " the daily bread" to the poor every Saturday, from the steps which form a remarkable feature of the structure. The bread was not his g ift, but w as ma d e at his house, and he saw it properly administered : the lord of the manor was the donor, who received tolls of all corn brought to market, and had from early times, no doubt following monastic usage, been accustomed to give the corn to the poor. A circumstance occurred, in the time of Kyrle, which caused this donation to be discontinued : the town of Ross claimed that as a right which was only granted to them by favour, and it came to a question whether the lord or the townspeople should consider it due , Mr. Kyrie was applied to as arbit ra t or , w hi c h was always the case in all emergencies, and he was constrained by his sense of justice to give it against the town. By this inju dicious proceeding, the poor of Ross were in future de prived of the privilege. —Bentley's Miscellany. HOOD'S DEATH H -BED.— e contemplated the approach of death with a composed philosophy and a resigned soil. It had no terrors for him. A short while ago we sat for hours by his bed-side in general and cheerful conversa tion, as when in social and healthful intercourse. Then he spoke of the certain and unavoidable event about to take place with perfect unreserve, unruffled calmness ; and the lesson and example how to die was never given in a more impressive and consolatory manner than by Tho mas Hood. His bodily sufferings had ma •d e no change in his mental character. He was the same as in his pub lications—at times lively and jocular, at times terious and affecting; and upon the one great subject of a death bed hope, he declared himself, as throw hoot life, op posed to canters and hy pocrites,—a class he had always detested and written against; while he set the highest price upon sincere Christianity, whose works of charity and mercy bore witness to the integrity and purity of the faith professed. " Our common friend,;' he said, " Mrs. E—, I love ; for she is a truly religious, and not a pious, woman." He seemed anxious that his sentiments on the momentous question should not be misrepresented; and that his animosity against the pretended should not be misconstrued into a want of just estimation for the real. Another subject upon which he dwelt with much earnestness a'.d gratitude, was the grant of a pension of £lOO a-year to his wife. " There is, after all," he ob served, " much of good to counterbalance the bad in this world. I have now a better opinion of it than I once had, , when pressed by wrongs and injuries " [of these he spoke, but they are not for public notice.] Two auto graph letters from Sir Robert Peel, relating to this pension, gave him intense gratification, and indeed were most honourable to the heart of the writer, whose warmth in the expression of personal solicitude for him self and his family, and of admiration for his productions (with which Sir Robert Peel seemed to be well acquainted,) we firmly believe imparted more delight to the dying man than even the prospect that those so dear to him would not be left destitute. In his answer to the minister's first communication he had alluded to the tendency of his writings ever being on the side of humanity and order, and not of the modern school to separate society into two classes, the rich and poor, and to inflame hatred on one side, and fear on the other. This avowal appeared, from the reply, which acknowledged its truth, to have b very acceptable to th e premier, from whom the gift een had emanated. Without a parallel and original as Hood was in the ludicrous, his more enduring fame will rest on the exquisitely humane and simply compassionate. There was no force or affectation in his efforts to serve his fellow creatures—they were spontaneous and passionate ; and all the art of picturesque and descriptive power bestowed upon them was but appropriate arid congenial ornament, neither covering nor concealing the rich stream of bene volence which flowed in the depths below. His most cynical sparklings emanated from a kind heart; they were fireworks which revolved in many a quaint and brilliant device, but burnt or injured none. He could not help the droll conceit and dazz;ing sally; but the love of kind predominated throughout and over all. Mr. Hood was the son of the respectable publisher and bookseller of that name, long a partner in the firm of Vernor, Hood, and Poultry, which is seen inscribed on many a title-page, some forty and fifty years ago. He has left a widow and two children, a son and a daughter, both inheriting much of his talent ; and likely, we trust, to be more prosper ous in the world than all his genius could make their parent.—Literary Gazette. come of it The recorder also added SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

A foot race for one hundred pounds, between the noted runners. Barlow and Robinson, of Newton-moor, came off at St. Helens, on Tuesday, the former winning with ex traordinary ease. A thousand pounds is supposed to have changed hands on the occasion. FOOT RACE.—THE BLUES AND THE LIFE GUARDS. —The best man out of each of these regiments was se lected on Monday last to run for a purse of £25. The men selected to contest the race were Corporal Mason, of the Blues, and Private Miller, of the 2nd Life Guards, the tallest man in the regiment, standing six feet six inches and a half. The distance to be run was 150 yards. Mason was the favourite at trifling odds, and eventually beat his opponent by three yards, the distance having been run in sixteen seconds. GREAT TROTTING MATCH.-011 Monday, at Don caster, Mr. French completed the task of driving his galloway (under twelve hands high), in harness, one hundred miles in sixteen hours for a stake of £5O a-side. Avery light match cart was provided, and a boy, of light weight, was seated in the cart. He performed the first ten miles in an hour, he then relaxed his speed for the next ten miles, and at the conclusion was refreshed, and then proceeded on his road ; he continued at a steady pace, and, appeared to trot at perfect ease. He had the necessary attention, and then performed another fif teen miles, and having covered sixty-five miles of road in ten-and-a-half hours, the gay little animal was then taken out of the chaise, rubbed down, and allowed to rest, and in a short time brought out. He continued at a steady, although winning pace, and ultimately trotted in with the greatest ease, after having accomplished the one hundred miles within the stipulated time.

SIR WALTER SCOTT ON BEAUTY.—In one of the de lightful descriptions of female loveliness which adorn the pages of this interesting writer, he alludes to a fragrant and balmy mouth and pearly set of teeth, as ranking among the first attributes of feminine beauty.

The astonishing success which has crowned the applica tion of this external Medicine in the most hopeless and deplorable cases, when the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever gaining even the least relief, and this after the ablest advice and every other means had completely failed, most justly entitles it to the attention of the afflicted. This excellent Medicine, so universally esteemed, is un attended with the least danger or inconvenience, and hundreds have experienced its happy and salutary effects since it was first introduced. Such are the properties of this invaluable Specific that persons labouring under the most distressing Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout, and Lumbago, and rendered thereby in capable of assisting themselves, lutie been relieved in a few hours. Amongst many which are being daily received are the following Testimonials : 4, Paternoster-row.

To those, however severely afflicted and hopeless their case may have been pronounced, I beg of them to make a trial, feeling quite satisfied they will be restored to the use of their limbs, from the severe cases that have yielded to this Me dicine. Health is a great blessing to those who can enjoy it, but to those who are deprived, none feels it so severe as the tradesman or mechanic, as it generally causes loss of business, and ruin on families. I shall at all times feel it my duty to make it known to those afflicted, to evince how grateful I am for my restoration, and am, Sir, yours truly, October 20, 1844. GEORGE POLLARD.

Fortunately your remedy was made known to me, or I migh have been to this day confined to my bed.
