iL ittraturt. POETRY. FIELD FLOWERS. BY THOMAS CAMPBELL. Ye field flowers! the gardens eclipse you, 'tis true, Yet, wil i gs of Nature, 1 doat upon you, For ye waft me to summers of old, When the earth teem'd around me with fairy delight, And when daisies and buttercups gladdened my sight, Like treasures of silver and gold. I love you for lulling me hack into dreams Of the blue Highland mountain: and echoing streams, And of broken glades brew hing their balm. While the deer was seen glancing in unshine remote, And the deep me►low c ush of the wood-pigeon's note Made music that sweetened the calm. Not a pastoral song has a pleasanter tune Than ye speak to my heart, little wil dogs of June - . Of old ruinous castles ye tell, Where I thought it delightful your beauties to find, When the magic of Nature first breathed on my mind, And your blossoms were part of her spell. Ev'n now what affections the violet awakes; What loved little islands twice seen in t..eir lakes, Can the wild water-lily restore ; What landscapes I read in the primrose's looks, And what pictures of pebbled and minnowy brooks, In the vetches that tangled their shore. Earth's cultureless buds, to my heart ye were dear. Ere the fever of passion or ague of fear Had scathed my existence's bloom ; Once I welcome you m re, in life's passionless stage, With the v sits of youth to revisit my age, And I wish you to grow on the tomb. NOTICES. The Gospel before the Age ; or Christ with Nicodemus. By the Rev. Robert Montgomery, M.A. Baisler, London. Probably the first thing requisite in noticing this elabo rate work is an explanation of the meaning of the title, which we cannot give better than in Mr. Montgomery's own words, which we take from the dedicatory epistle to to the Right lion W. E. Gladstone, M.P. Mr. Mont gomery says " I have affixed to this volume the title "The Go:pel before the age," not to imply that the word of God has not always been in advance by its infallible wisdom, its regenerative power, its searching anatomy, and faultless purity, of every theory, dogma, or science, which the invention of man's reckless mind has propounded. Such an implication would, indeed, be irreverent and ab surd, and tend to deny the prophetic omniscience of the Bible as preeminently the book of man, where all he has been, is, or can be, is seminally contained. But what I mean by the expression " before the aze," as applied to the Redeemer's language to Nicodernus is this—that both theoretically and practically the age in which we live, to a vast extent, treats the Gospel as if it were behind itself; and hence no longer capacitated to grapple with the great problems of the day, and satisfy the rising wants of the world." The interview and conversation of our blessed Lord with Nicodemus form the groundwork of Mr. Montgo mery's contemplations, which are conducted after a two fold mode; first, we have the exposition, cr a detailed analysis doctrinally and spiri•ually treating on the great matters in general. which Christ with Nicode•o,us discus ses ; and under the second division is offered an applica tion of the subject to the present times. The first part of the volume takes a comprehensive and searching view of our Lord's language, in its pointed re lation to the individual temperament of Nicodemus, as well as unto the primal truths of the gospel. and may be considered, therefore, as a lengthened argument to prove the fall and corruption of man, and his consequent indis pensable need of spiritual regeneration. As these are doctrinal questions, we shall not be expeced to notice them here, and we therefore pa , s on to remark a little more fully upon what falls under the second division — viz., that the sermon and appeal of our Saviour contain much that is applicable to the principles and eventful circumstances of our own times. - In applying the principles contained in the words of Jesus to what is passing at the present period of the world's history, Mr. Montgomery first directs our atten tion to the prominent circumstances of the times, in the following words : " After allowing for diversities of individual judgment, and the spe. ific bias of the mental taste, we imagine most will con cur in this,—that a restless appetite for some vague and I ast amelioration, is that which is now stirring* and heaving the great heart of society to its depths. And if we proceed to ana lyse this perturbed and feverish des re after son e undefined state of satisfying good, we shall detect that a confidence in man's own powers principles and energies to produce and pro mote it, lies at the root of all its actiogs. To an immense ex tent, as to all active operation on the conscience and the will of the admirers of this world, the radical corruption and entire apostasy of our race from all spiritual goodness and truth, is either denied. diluted, or torgotten. S ill, though the doctrinal fact of the fall may be unremembered, the moral consequence of that fall is not unfelt and at this moment we perceive one of its malign influences to be b died forth in a restless yearning for an imagined millennium, when she loftiest dre tms of ages and the benignest aspirations of the human spirit will at length be realised Thus we have restlessness in the Political World — producing theories and plans and systems ; restlessness in the Intellectual World—unfolding itself in works of sentiment and science, philosophy, art, and romance ; restlessness in the Social World—in erpreting itself by false notions, forced effects, mistaken views of life, and ertucat onal novelties, &c. ; and above all, restless , ess in The Church—which seeks to relieve itself in every mode of deliverance which controversy can sup ply, and under every extreme of improvement which ec lesias tical suggestion can discover, or sectarian arrogance contrive." Each portion of this comprehensive classification is discussed by Mr. Montgomery at considerable length, and with great point and force, to demonstrate that every panacea offered by men—however intelligent and enlight ened—irrespective of scriptural truth, for this ecclesiasti cal, social, political, arid intellectual restlessness. is a mere " daubing of the wall with untempered mortar," because the real w - nt of the age, and the only manner in which that want can be adequately supplied, are, if not despised, at least neglected. Taking the reply of our Saviour to Nicodemus, " Except a man be born again," as his groundwork, Mr. Montgomery argues that the " want " of . man —of every man in every age—and the remedy or relief for that want, are clearly propounded in that emphatic answer to the Jewish Rabbi,—that is, that if any substantial, widespread, and permanent good is to be effected amongst the community,—the corrup tian of man by sin, and the regeneration of man by grace, must form the vase of every movement for the amelioration of man's political as well as religious con dition, and that then man would not be considered as an automaton of living flesh, to contribute to the gratifica tion of his more wealthy and ambitious fellow-creatures, or treated as a being made for the enjoyment of a poli tical franchise, or for the fulfilment of duties in this world only, , but as a creature capable of becoming not only a sacred ornam-nt to society, but " like " unto the angels in the world to come. Of caurse such reasoning as this will be sneered at, as the ravings of a wild enthusiast, by those who desire to educate man as if all depended upon cultivating the principles naturally engendered within him,. along with the advantages of good examples and right associatinna. But, nevertheless, such arguments are founded upon a rock on which our f,,refathers—more wise and holy than ourselves—were riot ashamed to base their legislation. Let these truths be admitted, and the folly and sin of attempting a system of education without the inculcation of religious truths are admitted also—the utility of church establishments is conceded—and the necessity for such enactments and remedies as are funda mentally applicable to this debasement of the people is obviously demonstrated . Den y these principles, and both churchman and dissenter era at sea together. This brings tha whole " case" into a nutshell, and proves, to any man who is content to take scripture, and scripture only, as his highest and holiest ant horitv, that though the school master is abroad —though mechanics' institutes and lec ture-rooms are in every town and vill a g e in the kingdom, the gospel is notwithstanding " before the age," and proves also that ell mere outward remedies applied to man's internal malady of a diseased hea rt and sensualised mind will, sooner or later, as has been invariably the case heretofore, recoil upon those who use them, and leave the "last state" of the political world "worse than the first." This brief abstract will probably be considered sufficient to put our readers in possession of the genius of Mr. Montgomery's work, and as it is now quite unnecessary to remark on the style of the reverend gentleman, we shall conclude with the following extract : " It may be asked what is the connexion between man being "born again" by divine renewal, and the cure of his political discontent, and the social disorganisation of the lower classes? What is the connexion ! why, we may well answer, what is the character of that age, and tl.e state of moral feeling in a coun try, when swh a question as this can be put at all ? Flow base must that philosophy be, and how utterly incompetent to legis late for the conditions, or to interpret the real wants of fallen humanity, that imagines spiritual religion to be anything less than the actuating root of all public virtues, as well as of all private excellences I Verily, the far-reaching wisdom of Burke discerned no phantom, but described a substantive evil, when he spoke of an " age of economists and calcUators." And alas t in our low views of the sacredness of a state, as well our blind ideas of religion as ti 'e finest and most effective guardian of all our relative duties—how forcibly are we indebted to cer tain theories of Warburton and Locke ; and to their expanded developments as found in the system of Paley, and the groveling utilitarianism of Bentham . In opposition to this let us main tain, that as the divine renovation of our whole being by the transforming power of grace, is the true and only elevation of man : so, in that elevation whatever tends to support law, unction order, and strengthen government—is virtually con tained. 'I hus then can it be demonstrated, that he who most clearly by the spirit can "see the kingdom of God" will be at the same time most competent to comprehend and venerate the kingdom of man also." Remedies suggested for the Perils of the Nation, Lon don : Seeley, Burnside, and Seeley, 1844. It can scarcely have eseard the notice of an attentive observer of passing events how important a change has come over the public mind, within the last few y ears, with h r espect to the policy to be pursued to s ecure the w na tion's greatness and the happiness of the people. Twenty years ago, when the evils which afflicted any portion of the community were under consideration, the remedy pro pounded was either some som wild project for the robbery of the national creditor, some quixotic scheme of reform in the representative the system, or system of social arrange ment grounded uponUtilitarianPolitico - Economical and Anti-Christian doctrines of the olitico_ lal philosophers of the day. As a nation we conceded ' partial adoption of the second and last of these remedialt infusion of We had the Reform Bill, of which a great infus We remodelled , in into We aantctiaeoloicL,ld,ahneappoos: the constitution was the result. pular form, our municipal bodies. Popo rl l ced, in sessions of the Established Church fine, in a career of innovation and yielding to judice and pressure, which has unsettled what wasaprrpLei onsly secure and healthy, without touching effectually one of the evils of the national condition. The most fatal portion of our I olicy however has been that which was prompted by a recognition of the truth of those mischiev ous theories with which the public mind bad been previ ously indoctrinated by the professors of the Malthus and M'Cullock school of philosophy. Placing before our eyes the increase of the national wealth as the grand object of legislative care, and the growth of capital as the prime end for individual stru2gle, we proceeded to weaken the 1,9'.d of the poor upon property, and to drag the labouring millions into a fierce contest with the power of machinery at home and of cheapness of labour abroad, upon the suc cessful issue and painful maintenance of which was to he their sole dependence against the horrors of starvation. We passed a Malthusian New Poor-Law expressly on the ground that the poor, under the operation of the old and humane principle of the Elizabethan law, threatened to eat up the land and the capital of the country. By tests, which are alike unchristian and infamous, we drove the unemployed labour of the agricultural d'stricts into the already overstocked hives of manufacturing industry, un til at the present moment we have created a number of dense and illregulated masses of population, absolutely dependent for daily existence upon a precarious trade, and whom a month's or a week's deprivation of a market for their toil, must plunge into actual famine or impel to the outrage and bloodshed of a rebellion. We did all this independent of one thought for the moral well-being of those whose social positron we were so fearfully deteriorating. We introduced no props, no safety va've, into the social fabric whose security we were undermining. We shut our eyes to all the consequences of our measures, hugging ourselves in the conviction that we were successfully accomplishing our darling object of national and individual aggrandize ment. From this state of frenz'ed error and criminal selfish ness we rejoice to know that a large and morally influen tial portion of the public have at length recovered them selves. One by one we now hear scouted the baneful and noxious principles of the economists. We have no se. toad Martineau lecturing to us of " preventive checks ;" no second Chalmers descending from his pulpit and from the dignity of his sacred office to teach the suffering la bourers that their miseries would be prevented if they would abstain from marriage (.9—if they would abstain from obeying the direct command of their Almighty maker. Such opinions are not now obtruded upon the world. The mania for further speculative reforms has merged into Chartism, and is daily becoming weaker. In the place of these has sprung up a deeply-seated convic tion, recognised, although indistinctly, even by the for mer propounders of Malthusian error, that legislation should be more and more directed towards the ameliora tion of the condition of the poor ; and there are not want ing men of large and. comprehensive views, and eminent both for their worth and station, who maintain that capi tal, too long the favoured object of protection, should be made to relax the grasp in which it bo'de the labouring masses; and that the state should assume towards the poor of the la d that f *tering and parental care, which it has thrown off to exercise the cold and harsh duties only of avenger of crime, and protector of life and property. Slowly, but at the same time most satisfactorily, be cause founded upon sound principles, this healthy change in public opinion has been brought about ; and gratifying it must be to the journalist to reflect how much of that change may be attributed to the incessant action, upon the mind of the reflect ng and rightminded portion of the people, of an honest and fearl-ss press. Day by day, week by week, and year by year, amidst obloquy and discouragement, the pen of the journalist, and more especially of the con servative journalist, has been wielded in the cause of our suffering and slighted poor; has dragged to light the ini quities of the mammon-loving philosophy, in accordance with whose dictates those poor are ground to the earth as things less valueb e in the eyes of legislation than a stone or a machine. Thy by day it has routed the flimsy so phistries by .vhich crime and cruelty black as Erebus were male to appear in the garb of ultra humanity towards the victim whom it oppressed; and at length the whole un sightly fabric of error, with which the woad has been be fooled and the patience of men abused, reels beneath the shocks dealt against it by its sturdy and persevering oppo nent. At len g th we are, as a nation, approaching that point at whieh we shall be prepared to commence redress in.; those wrongs which we have committed towards God and our fellow-creatures. We must not, however, arrogate on the part of the press more than its due proportion of praise for the promotion of this good work. The pen of the jouraalist bee done much. But other and valuable appliances have been brought to the to 1 .: of dissipating error and recalling the nation to virtue. • reithful teaching of the church has not been wanting—teat..;..; drawn from the only true guide for re gulating human actions and the principles which ought to actuate human legislation. A few noble spirits in parlia ment have eloquently and perseveringly pleaded for the cause of truth, justice, and mercy. And, besides these, standing as beacon lights upon the path from the dark ness of error to the noonday towards which we trust we are approaching, we hare a goodly array of names of ta lented and wise men who have grappled boldly with the error and the wrong around them, and left their recorded conclusions for our aid and guidance. We refer to such men as the late Michael Thos. Saddler, who first routed the professors of that infidel philosophy which teacbesthat the creator has sent man upon the earth without ordain ing at the same time its ability to produce a sufficiency of food for his support; to Alison, who has succesfully re futed the same notion ; to Bosanquet and others—the last, but by far from the least, of these is the author of " the Perils of the Nation" and of the work before U 9. To him it was reserved to gather up the lessons of those who had gone before him—to gather the evidence which his fellow labourers and predecessors in the same good work had collected,—and to present to a startled nation, in one hi deous portraiture, the black array of its crimes and weak nesses, its grievous errors and maniacal follies. In the " Perils of the Nation" the author effected this. He pointed to us society as it exists in this favoured, this wealthy, this powerful. this Christian England ; and men recoiled at the picture and asked themselves " can these things be?" Nor did he stet here. No: in that, his first work upon the subject, he urged, for the first time in the same bold and comprehensive spirit, the neesssity of a national cfort for the removal of national evils so vast, so deplorable. Few who read that work in a proper spirit—who weigh ed its statements and reasonines—could have doubted the justice and correctness of the views of the writer ; and few there were who did not long to peruse the remedies pro posed by one who so eloquently a id faithfully pourtrayed the evils. Those " remedies" are now before us, and we purpose bringing them in detail before our readers. In justice, however, to the writer and to the public who pe ruse our columns, we mu-t reserve for a separate chapter, or chapters, the examination which we propose, our pre sent limits being far too scanty. In the meantime we may briefly state that these remedies are a return to scrip tural principles as our guide in legislation and in our con duct ; new organization of the country into parishes of such a size as would facilitate the working of an educa tional system under the eye of the clergy, and of church extension, • the lightening of the labour market by the withdrawal of women and children from men's employ ments; the cottage allotment system; improvement of the dwellings of the poor; amelioration of the new poor law, and measures for the general improvement of the mo rals of the people. With respect to some of these reme dies the author may be regarded as rather quixotic; but let no reader dismiss their consideration on this ground. If the remedy is good in itself, the difficulty of its applica tion should net be permitted to stand in the way by men grievously afflicted as are the people of this land. The whole will be found to be ably argued, and suptorted by a mass of valuable evidence bearing upon the subject. GENERAL MISCELLANY. The winner of the Ascot Cup has been named Emperor, in coni t liment to his imperial majesty of Russia. Thursday, the 4th of July, has been fixed for opening the appeal to the House of Lords in the case of O'Con nell and the other traversers.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Last Night. Statement of Sir Robert Peel on the Sugar Duties Bill. Before five o'clock the house was exceedingly full w ith members on both sides, and the space below the bar ap propriated to strangers was also crowded. Amongst those present we noticed Lord Morpeth, and a number of Peers. Sir R. PEEL entered the house a few minutes before five o'clock. After a short pause, The Right Hon. Bart. said it was probable the house would expect some statement from him of the course ber Majesty's government intended to pursue in consequence of the vote on Friday night on the subject of the sugar duties (hear, hear.) He had a statement to make, but if the house had no objection, he would make it after they had resolved into a committee on the Sugar Duties Bill. Lord J. RUSSELL said, there could be no objection to the course proposed by the right hon. Bart. The house then went into committee, Mr. Greene in the chair. Sir R. PEEL said, the house having resolved into a committee, he would state the views which her Majesty's government entertained on the subject of the Sugar Du ties Bill, and the course they intended to pursue (hear, hear.) The right hon. bart. proceeded to state his opi nions upon the question of slavery as connected with the duties on sugar, and reviewed the various discussions which had taken place. Her Majesty s government thought it would be unjust to the British planter to enter into competition with the foreign grower who used slave labour. He could not, however, help thinking that if they encouraged the introduction of sugar from Cuba, Java, and perhaps China, the produce of free labour, it would tend to discourage slavery in those parts. The house was aware of the plan which they had proposed to effect this intro duction. They proposed that there should be a differen tial duty between foreign and colonial sugar of 10s. per cwt. They wished the growers of free labour sugars to know the opinion of parliament on this subject, in order that, at some future period, no party shoula be taken by surprise. What they had proposed they believed to be a safe measure as regarded the revenue and the consumer, and not injurious to the West India interest. They had, however, teen met by a counter resolution, proposed by the hon. member for Bristol, who proposed a different scale of duty. Her Majesty's governmenthad considered the pro posal of thehon. memberprevious to and since they had been left in a minority (hear, hear.) The rt. hon. hart. said, after full consideration her Majesty's government retained their former opinions ; they could not adopt or acquiesce in the proposition of the hon. member for Bristol ; they were of opinion that their original resolution would be mast advantageous to the revenue and the public, and not injurious to the West India interest. (Hear. hear.) His hon. friend proposed to make a reduction of about o te-sixth in the duty on sugar. He believed that reduc tion would not benefit the West India planters, the sub jects of their commiseration, but the benefit would go into the pockets of tne retailers of sugar. (Hear, hear.) The West India proprietors ought not to complain of being taken by surprise. Lord Sydenham told them in the year 1839 that they must prepare themselves for some alteration. Next year the property tax expired, and then the question must be raised, whether it was to be renewed or discontinued ? And this question must greatly depend upon the continuance of the sugar duties. Another oh jection to the motion was, that the government could not consent to a discriminating duty of 14s. on certain de scriptions of sugar—they could not consent to give in creased protection to the West Indian colonies. (Hear.) He differed with the bon. member for Bristol on the me rits of his proposition, and he felt bound to oppose it on political grounds. If the question was one of unimpor t ince, it carried with it distrust in the government, and had a bearing on their existence as an executive ; and if acquiesced in by them, it was giving encouragement to future attempts. He believed, however,. the motion was carried by preconcert—(hear)—with hon. gentlemen op posite. (Heir.) He did not complain of combination ; parties had a right to combine if they pleased—(hear ;) but as a minister of the crown, he had a right to say whe ther he would adopt the recommendations of such com binations or not. He declined acquiescing in the propo sition of the hon. member for Bristol, let the consequences be what they might. Under these circumstances the course her Majesty's government intended to pursue was• this : for the purpose of giving the house another oppor tunity of reconsidering the question, if the hon. member proposes to make 20'. as the amount of duty, he (Sir R. Peel) shall prepose that the duty be 2-Is., and on that question he should take the sense of the house. (Hear.) He was not answerable for the state they were in as re garded the progress oflegislative business. Many of the government measures had been opposed, and they had not been carried, and there must be an arrear for the close of the session, which he deeply regretted. The wish of the government had been to protect the ereat institutions of the country, at the same time ttr reform them awmuch as cons'stent, to relax as much as possible restrictive dut es, and to mend the ecclesiastical establishment. He deeply regretted if they had lost the confidence of friends, but he could not ask for their voting that night under professions, which could not he realised. Her Majesty's government would go on in the course of steady legislation. Considerable anxiety has been displayed in the metro polis, caused by the movements in the neighbourhood, and various rumours were in circulation on Saturday and Sunday as to the course to be pursued by ministers. On Sunday a numerous meeting of conservative members was held at the Carlton Club, which was-adjourned until yes— terday, when a resolution of entire confidence in Sir R. Peel's government was proposed and carried unanimously.. A Cabinet Council was held on Sunday, after which Sir Robert Peel proceeded to Buckingham:Palace, and stayed' to dine with her Majesty; and another Cabinet Council, summoned by Sir James Graham, was held yesterday, the result of the deliberations of wh:th is, no doubt, the mi nisterial determination above. The London Standard of last night urges the Conservative members to retrace their steps. and intimates the retirement of Sir Robert Peel as the result of their remairting intractable. THE LiVERPOOL STANIWW. SECOND EDITION. THIRD EDITION. Standard-office, Three o'clock. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, Tins DAY. (From Messrs. R. Makin & Sons' Circular.) In addition to small arrivals up to Friday's market, we have to report a moderate increase of Wheat, Oats, Flour, and Oatmeal from Ireland, while those in coastwise since this day week remain trivial : the supplies of foreign pro duce, during the same period, consist merely of 4,623 qrs. Wheat, chiefly from Odessa, exclusive of a parcel of In dian Corn, and 4,001 barrels of Flour from the United States, with 4 ,944 barrels from Canada, being the first importation thence this season. Upon a very numerous attendance of buyers at this day's market, including several leading millers from the inland counties, the trade, generally speaking, was much more lively than for some time past. In Wheat, espe cially in the various qualities of foreign, the business transacted was rather considerable ; in some instances at the reduced rates of Friday, and in others at the currency of this day week. English and Irish Flour continued to meet a very limited sale at our last quotations ; States Flour, at the same time, receding 6d., and Canadian Is. per barrel. Although during the greater part of last night and early this morning we had a fine, warm, genial rain, Spring Corn of most descriptions met a good inquiry, and was held with a tolerable degree of firmness, on higher terms. The middle and lower qualities of Barley continue to be taken off rather freely at the advance of Friday, and fine samples, as well as Malt, were the turn dearer. British and Foreign free Beans, upon a moderate de mand, fully supported late prices ; and of Egyptians, in bond, several further sales were made to-day, at as high as 255. per 4801 b.

MAJORITY FOR MINISTERS ON THE SUGAR DUTIES BILL. After the speech of Sir Robert Peel, which we gave in our second edition, Lord J. RUSSELL rose and said, that the proposal of Sir 14 Peel was neither more nor less , than that the house shoukkretract its former vote and disgrace itself. After speeches from Mr. Miles, Mr. Cochran, Mr. Kemble, Mr. D'lsraeli, Lord Sandon, Mr. Goulburn, Mr. Entwistle, Lord. Howick, Lord Stanley, Lord Pal merston, and one or two other members, the house di vided, when there were — Against Mr. Miles proposal .

On the 22d. alt., he went to bed at the usual time. Be tween one and two o'clock, he walked to his sister's room and woke her up. She asked him what he wanted, but he only answered by pointing to his throat, and on her putting her hand to the spot, she found he was bleed ing from a wound in it. Assistance was procured and the wound was dressed. On rallying, the deceased stated, that during his sleep he dreamed that a policeman said he would put hhmin the stock's, and that he replied, rather than he should do so he would cut his throat. The police man attempted to do it, and he then got up and took his penknife out of his pock 4 and inflicted the wound. The pain caused him to awake, and he then walked to his sister's room, as stated above.

Signor Marras, in the Hanover-square Rooms. The Morning Chronicle of Wednesday thus flatteringly notices her performances:— " A very interesting feature of the concert was the debut of Miss Christina Weller, a young pianist who promises to make IL sensation in the musical world. She played Weber's famous Concert-stuck, with orchestral accom paniments, in a manner which, in several particulars, we have not heard surpassed. The lightness, rapidity, and brilliancy of her fingers are wonderful and her style is that of a thorough musician. The concluding movement, so expressive of the wildest exuberance of joy, was exe cuted, with the utmost possible animation, and produced an immense effect on the audience, who gave vent to their pleasure and admiration, in the loudest applause. Miss Weller, moreover, is exceedingly handsome, elegant, and lady-like ; and, we doubt not, will become one of the greatest stars of our concerts." Last Thursday evening Miss Weller gave a soiree musicale of her own, at the same place, which passed off with great eclat, and of her performances at which, the leading journals speak in the most unqualified terms of praise. MITRE GERMAN. DWARFS. —We understand that the fortunate holder of Tom Thumb has already realised a pretty sum of money by his speculation ; and it is well for him that he has done so in time, for in London are three wee-wee things come from Germany, who bid fair to divert a small share of the public attention. The General, who purports to be twelve years old, is twenty inches high ; one of our new visitors, Christian Brock sted, is thirteen years old, bonafide," right up, straight down, and no mistake," to quote classic Jack Brag, as may be known unto all men by the certificate of his bap tism and birth, duly signed and sealed by the local au thorities, and yet he is only three inches taller than the American, and weighs but one pound more. Moreover, the German blows lustily on the born, and smokes no end of cigars, and takes leading parts in a ballet of ac tion, and does all sorts of things marvellous to behold in one so very small. Then there's his sister. Maria Brocksted, eighteen years old, yet only 32 inches htgn silk and of but 22 pounds weight, a very nice womanlittle indeed, chubby, rosy, smiling, apparelle d in a dress ere a mode, who sings a song, an fairy of the olden time, or an elfin sprite of more modern Germany. There's of mature form, with a goodddhaenacdesoafdhaaniere, d a r s es , s t e w d a la 22 years of acre 36 pounds, who takes part in the ballet. ainncohtheesr hbigrhot,heanr,dHweeniratheißurobckustte3d6, NEWTON RACES.

There were in. the cellar above 500 quails in cages, all of which were destroyed. SUDDEN DEATH.—Much excitement was awakened in Darlington, on Sunday week, by the sudden death of Mr. W. Backhouse, the senior partner of the old and respec table banking establishment of Backhouse and ar lington.

EXTRAORDINARY PRESENTIMENT.—WiIIiam Symes, of Yeovil, had on many occasions, for many years past, been heard to declare his conviction that he should die on the very day when he should have been married twenty years; and, strange to relate, his presentiment proved true, as his death took place on Whit-Monday, the 27th of May, on which day. 20 years before he was married. His remains were conveyed to the grave on Thursday week, and agreeably with his particular desire, often ex pressed, his body was dressed in the same cloths which he wore when he was married.—Bristel Mercury.

Medical aid, as usual, was re sorted .to without deriving benefit to ground a hope of ever being restored. so much debilitated. and without appetite. he was given up ' y two doctors. Healing f the benefits result'ng from the us of W. , rsdell's Pit's, he obtained a box, and gave them a t ial. While taking the first few doses he felt ill. When he had taken a box in daily doses of from four to eight pills he felt a little better ; the use of two boxes he went to work, three boxes quite restored him to the enjoyment of what he despaired of ever obtaining, good health.
