THE SUMMER, OF 1838, - From Blackwood. Ye Summer Winds, ye come upon mine ear In the vex'd Midnight, more like spirits unblest, That shake the wintry drift—there is no rest. And I am weary of this World of fear; Eclipse hath quencl.'d the beauty of the year; And Danger, in the darkness of the breast, Sits breeding Fiends, that from their teemiu , nest Of.black suggestions growl their birthright cheer." 0, on green Nature's lap to lay one's head, And in that quiet hear no more the surge Of men. and things, and winds; b•: Rivulet's bed, That Argument of Peace doth ever urge! It will not be—methinks sweet Nature's dead -0 come ye gentler airs, and sing her dirge. FAMILIAR LOVE . Poems of Many Years. " We read t 4.1 ether, reading: the same book, Our heads bent forward in a half embrace, So that each shade that either spirit took Was straight reittited in the other's face; We read, not silent, nor aloud, but each Followed the eye that passed the page along, With a low murrnuting sound, that was not speech, Yet with so much monotony', In its half slumbering harmony, You might not call it song; More like a bee that in the noon rejoices, Than any customed mood of human voices. "Then if some wayward ur disputed sense Made cease awhile that music, and brought on A strife of gracious-worded difference, Too 'Light to hurt cur souls' dear unison, We had experience of a blissful state, In which our powers of thought stood separate, Each, in its own high freedom, set apart, But both close folded in one loving heart, So that we seem'd, without conceit, to be Both one and two in our identity. " We prayed together, praying the same prayer, But each that prayed did seem to be alone, And saw the other in•a golden air . Poised far away, beneath a vacant throne, , • . Beck'ning the kneeler to arise and sit Within the glory which eneompass'd it: And when obeyed, the Vision stood beside, And led the way through the upper hyaline, Smiling in beauty-tenfold glorified, Which, while on earth, had seemed enough divine, The beauty of the Spirit-Biide, Who guided the rapt Florentine " The depth of human reason must become As deep as is the holy human heart, Ere aught in written phrases can impart The might and meaning of that ecstacy To those low souls, who hold the mystery Of the unseen universe for dark awl dumb. ",But we were mortal still, and when again We raised our bended knees, I do not say That our descending spirits felt no pain To meet the dimness of an earthly day ; Yet not as those disheartened, and the more Debased, the higher that they rose before, But, frog► the exaltation of that hour, Out of God's choicest treasury, bringing down New virtue to sustain all ill,--new power To braid Life's thorns into a regal crown, We past into the outer world, to prove The strength miraculous of united Love." CONTEMPORARY PRESS. JOINT.STOCK BANKS. ( From the Manchester Courier.) In another part of our present number we have printed, at full length, an act which enablesJoint-Stock Banks to recover moneys owing to them by their own shareholders. 411-c As far as these companies, and the parties connected with them, are concerned, this is by far the most im portant enactment that has issued from the legislature during the present session. It was lately a question whether a shareholder could be successfully sued at law for a debt due to a bank in which he was a part ner, and the point was accordingly submitted to a num ber of high legal authorities, who were ail of opinion that it was a matter of great doubt whether any action of that nature could be maintained. This opinion left all joint-stock banks in a most awkward predicament, for by it it appeared that they had no remedy at law to recover debts owing to them by their own share holders. According to the act 7th Geo. IV., c. 46, it was useless to make a shareholder a bankrupt, for if they did so the fiat mightbe superseded, on the ground that one partner could not make another a bankrupt; nor, again, could they prove debts under fiats in bank ruptcy against a shareholder for the purpose of re ceiving dividends, although the fiat might have been issued by another creditor. The only remedy, there fore,—which would have been a very expensive one, inasmuch as a majority of the shareholders would pro bably have refused to become plaintiffs, and by that act would make themselves defendants,—was to file a bill in equity against each shareholder who Might be a debtor, making every other shareholder a party to the suit, praying an account of the partnership effects, and a dissolution of the partnership. The bill, which has this week become law, brings the banks out of all these difficulties, and henceforth no shareholder will be in a better position to resist the payment of his debts than any creditor of the bank with which he may be connected. For this salutary enactment the joint-stock banks throughout the united kingdom are indebted solely to the Northern and Cen tral Bank, which has been at very considerable ex pence in promoting the progress of the bill through both houses of parliament; and although it has pro vided itself with law to recover some £443,000 owing to it by its own shareholders, vet the benefit which it has, by the same act, conferred on other banks, is im portant enough to merit something beyond mere thanks. POSITION OF THE COUNTRY. (From Me Jo47z. Bull. j The tremendous struggle in which for national ex istence this country was so long engaged, having been now several years since most triumphantly concluded, there are some persons naturally foolish enough to de precate the advisers by whom the conclusion and the triumph were acquired. But it will be well for Eno.- land, should she a gai n be engage d i n a contest of such immense magnitude, if the Sovereign on the throne, the ministers in the council, the admiral' with the fleet, and the general in the field, should be able to carry her through it, and to bring her out of it, with half as much success, glory, and honour, as George HI. and George IV., and the Pitt and Liverpool Administra• tions, and Lord Nelson and the Duke of Wellington, did. Nor is the foreign political horizon, at this moment, quite so clear. Foreign countries do not stand in such awe of our rule of the " Tail" and the "101. house holders," as we do ourselves. Our old allies, Spain, Portugal, Holland, Turkey—all from the intervention of our " non-intervention"--and Turkey by that '= un toward event," as the Duke of Wellington, from the first, so well described the battle of Navarino—and the consequences ensuing from it—are much alienated from us ; and are mucli in an " untoward" state them selves, by reason of our erroneous foreign policy. France and Russia have increased their navies, so that the two together are nearly thrice the amount of the English Marine. America has increased her army, and looks with longing eyes on the Canadas, and also her favourite running of her own boundary line. France—to whom, too, Belgium is .a.44procince— keeps Ancona—keeps Algiers—bl oc k a d os the ports of Mexico--encroaches on Brazilian Guiana, her aggres sions there extending to an occupation of 200 miles of coast—and does her worst to injure our commerce in all the transatlantic states ; malgre all the " Guava jelly," and bons bons of Marshal Soult. Russia beards us on our own element—the sea. Persia, Circassia, Egypt, and Turkey, are almost her's. Site looks to India. And, all this same time, she sends Prince Strockonoff to do homage to our youthful Queen ? and sends— in spite of the "respect" for her Majesty's fine "re formed government" —a jolly Russian tar, and cap tures, in the Black Sea, a merchant vessel of Queen Victoria herself, called the Vixen. If this is our position with foreign countries, what is our position as regards our own possessions? "Con ciliation" was to have soothed Canada; but Canada has broken put against us into what is but a half smothered, rather than a suppressed, rebellion. "Ernan cipation," and all the rest of it, were to have made the public peace and the e s t a bli s h e d c h urc h, as sa f e and secure in Ireland, "as in Yorkshire ;" but Mr. O'Connell himself—t o whom (to the shame of the very name of England) her Majesty's ministers are serfs, and her Majesty herself no better than a sort of captive monarch—tells us Ireland is a volcano. Our own population are ten thousand times more discon tented than before the Reform Bill had raised expect ations, which the reformed parliament Poor Law Bill seems to have been designed to disappoint. Popular tampering with the taxation has reduced the national revenue. And the baneful effects of "Black freedom" upon our West Indian colonies is already begirittiqg to appear. It was boasted that catholic emancipation—that par liamentary reform—that negro emancipation—would " enable us to face the world in arms. ' The boast was a strange boast; because without these measures we had faced the world in arms, and covered ourselves with the highest glory any country ever gained. But glad shall we be to find, should the occaNion recur, that the papist tail,. £tO hc;usehold sufferage, Irish repeal agitation, municipal reforan, town councils, and "free and independent" (unproducktive) niggers, &c. &c., are no bar, nor obstacle, to the patient, perse vering, disciplined, and united, prosecution of a war; and that, if again necessary, we shall face the world in arms, with the same face, spirit, fame, and fortune, as - ISetbre—more is not possible. Still, foreign powers do not seem to think that all these new marvellous measures—which rather excite their ridicule, than their admiration—have given us all that additional strength, which the advocates of these measures said they would : and it might not be amiss to examine, whether, the present aspect and prospect of things at home and abroad, which, as we have said, foreigners do not consider to redound to our greatness, statesmanship, knowledge, nor honour—it might not be as wise, as judicious, as patriotic, and as national; instead of indulging in wild schemes and fancies, of still further "reforming" parliament, church, and every thing else; rather endeavour to retain our institutions and possessions, preserve our power, prin ciples, and morals—and thus support, if not extend, our name, character, influence, happiness, wealth, and worth, SHAKSPEARE AT COURT.-THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR, (From the admirable fiction "Shakspeare and his Friends.") A numerous party were assembled in one of the Queen's withdrawing rooms, consisting principally of the ladies of her court, to hear Master Shakspeare read a new play which he had writ upon her Majesty's suggestion, as bath been de scribed. Master Shakspeare stood with his back to the light, and his face to the Queen, reading of his manuscript, with his audience in a half circle before him, in the centre of which sat Queen Elizabeth in her chair of state, looking exceeding pleased, and dressed with marvellous grandeur; having at her right band the Earl of Essex, attired very gorgeously, and leaning on her Majesty's chair with the air of one that is pri vileged to say 'tvhat he lists, and ever and anon making such •remarks as the circumstances seemed to give good warrant for; and joining in her Majesty's mirth, whenever it was ex hibited, with a heartiness which showed that in such instan ces to play the courtier was nothing but natural to him. It was remarked of all, that never had the Queen looked so gra cious, for she kept turning and smiling upon the handsome nobleman at her side, and saying of this thing and that thing after so amiable a fashion, and commended Master Shak speare so liberally, that the whole court were moved with ad miration. All present appeared in an excellent fine humour, and listened with the very profoundest attention. Some look ed to be in a continual smile—others -frequently did indulge themselves with a giggle—and some few, who seemed as though they could not confine their mirth within such modest bounds, must needs lavish alound. By this time Mister 6'hakspeare had got into the third act of his play, which bath become so singularly liked of the world, under the title of The Merry IViees of Windsor, and that it lacked nothing ilkthe reading of it is beyond all possi bility of doubt. Indeed it may be said, without starting from the truth any great way, so altered he is voice, and expressed he the dialogue with such a natural manner, that any one, at the shutting of his eyes might have fancied he heard many different persons. In truth, there wanted no more actors. He was the whole dramatis personae in himself. This excel lent talent of his made his hearers receive the scene of the challenge between the choleric Welshman and the equally incensed French doctor, in the field nigh unto Frogmore, with wonderful admiration. But when Caine Sir John Falstaff to be put into the buck-basket by the merry wives, and the account he gives of it to the jealous husband, surely nothing could exceed the delight with which it was received. " In honest truth, Master Shakspeare," cried the Queea very merrily, " that fat knight of yours is like to make our sides ache. Oh, the absolute villain ! Oh. the monstrous rogue! l'faith 'tis iu excellent conceit. We are taken with the humour of it mightily. What say you, my lord," ex claimed the Queen, turning to her favourite, " cloth it not seem to you as ridiculous as heart could wish ?" " Please your Majesty, never have I been so taken with any play," teplied the Lord Essex. "It bath in it a wonderful store of wit certain iy—indeed, I take it to be as rare a device of the mind as was ever writ." "What say you, my Lady Howard of Walden," who was to the left of her, "think you the villanous fellow was wetd served of those merry wives, by being stuffed into the buck basket, and then cast into the ditch at Datched mead ?" "Indeed, please your Majesty, methinks he had the very properest reward for his abominable impudency," answered her ladyship. " I would have served him worse, for I would have had the greasy rogue smothered to death, or drowned outright." '• Nay, that's too bad of you," observed the Qneen, " 'twould be but right to let him live and repent him of his misdoings. But, odds my life, he be so droll a fish none shold have the heart to kill him." "0' my word, so think I," added my Lord'Esscx ; "your Majesty hath expressed the very drift of my inind in this. I must say I like the varlet hugely, and consider a ducking or so a very fitting punishment for his offences." "Nay, I think it be monstrous of him at his time of life that he should be gallanting of two women at once—and they married too!" cried Lady Blanche Somerset, who was some what of a prude. "Married two !" exclaimed Lord Bumble, who had heard not enough of what had passed to give him a proper knowledge of the matter. " Married two did he? that be clean bigamy : that is to say, if he had marriage of one whilst the other was above ground; but if one of th two shall have become a de funct, then shall there be no harm in't." " Proceed, Master Shakspeare," said the Queen ; and not without a smile at the mistake of her lord in waiting, which seemed to have amused many. "We are marvellously anxious to leard how Sir John speeds in his w o oing." Master Shakspeare had said nothing hitherto, yet did he seem in no way abashed at being among go many people of worship, . for ate turned his intelligent eyes from one to the other as either spoke, as if regarding with some amusement the variety of characters before him, as each displayed some distinct feature in what was said, or in the manner of saying it. Then fell he to the perusing of the 4th act, in the very first scene of which, where the Welsh parson is trying of the boy in his Latin grammar, the Queen once or twice did put up her fan and giggled very prettily, and thereupon her ladies seemed wonderfully confused, and giggled also; and the lords and gentlemen smiled somewhat: but when in the next scene Sir John Falstaff is iu such wonderful anxiousness to escape, in consequence of Mistress- Page bringing intelligence of Master Ford being a coming from birding, with a whole com pany to search the house for him ; and the jealously of the husband is made so manifest, and he beateth the old knight in his disguise, taking him fur to be the fat woman of Brent ford, whose dress he weareth, every one appeared to laugh till their ribs were like to crack. " Better and better!" exclaimed the Queen, in evident de light,-when he came to the ending of the act. "These be merry wives indeed ! I'faith 'tis the difficultest thing possible tai say which serve they out the best—:Easter jealous-pate the husband, or that huge piece of roguery Sir John Falstaff. Is it not so, my lord ?" " Without doubt," replied my Lord Essex; " nothing have I seen in play or hist or y so painted to the life. That your Majes:y bath extreme discrimination in the detection of that which be most admirable where there is much excellence what bath just fallen from you proves." "Nay, my lord, you. flatter," said her Majesty, smiling upon Kira all the time very graciously. " We have but an in different judgement in these things. Our opinion must be scarce worth the having. May - hap we have just wit enough to know the good from the had : but, indeed, that be all our poor knowledge can lay claim to." "That LciII U I never 'believe, please your Majesty," cried my Lord Henry Howard, who was close behind her chair; "for of alt human creatures that breathed, never met I one that came at all nigh unto your Majesty in niceness of judg ment; not only upon such matters as are now honoured with your infinite condescension, but in all things whatsoever; whe ther they be of the simplest or of the difficultest nature to comprehend." " You think too well of us, my lord," observed the Queen, evidently taking what was said in very good report. "It be but as we have expressed it. Such knowledge as we possess must needs be but small." " By my troth, then, the wi s d om o f a ll e l se mus t b e none at all, please your Majesty," exclaimed the Lady Howard; "for as it is beyond all contradiction that your Majesty's wisdom toppeth that of the wisest of our time to au extent that be wonderful to observe, if, as your Majesty is pleased. to say, it must needs be but small, the smallness of the wisest of your subjects cannot but be of such sort as may not be visible. But 'tis the modesty of your Majesty's disposition that leadeth yol to say this." 4 ' Indeed, her Majesty is for an exceeding modesty," said Lady Blanche Somerset. • " That be a true thing!" cried my Lord Bumble, who leaned forward with his head a little on one side, to catch with his ear, as well as his deafness would allow, the purport of what was said. " Her Majesty is noted of all for au ex ceeding modest eye." "D' my life, my Lord Bumble, that be the prettiest blun der we have met with a long time"' exclaimed the Queen, in au infinite pleasant humour, whilst there was no lack of smiling and tittering among the courtiers at the mistake. " As your Majesty says, it be the prettiest wonder we hare met with a long time," added the old lord, who, from the great length of his service in the palace, was oft allowed by the Queen a greater license than had many others of more influence. "By this hand, know I not a prettier wonder in the whole world than such a modest eye. 'Tis a marvel to look on. There be no such another anywhere." "Mack then, are we blind of an eye!" cried her Majesty laughingly; which conceit did so tickle the fancy of those around her that the mirth it created was in such excess, and the commendation it received was so abundant, that surely no wit bad been ever so received. All this time my Lord Bumble, fearful by the general laughter, that he had said something amiss, did keep turning from one to the other, in extreme consternation, as if to learn by their faces rhat strange error he had bad the ill hap to commit. " Now, Master Shakspeare," exclaimed the Queen, " we are wonderfully desirous of learning what next these merry wives of yours shall do with that fat knight." At this Master Shakspeare, on whom it may well be be lieved nothing had been lost of the preceding conversation, did go on with the reading of his play. The description of bow Sir John Falstaff, in the last act, was cozened into the taking upon him the disguise of Herne the Hunter, and how he was tormented by the pretended fairies when he lay under the oak in Windsor Forest, hoping there to have much plea sure with Mistress Page and Mistress Ford, according to their appointment, and bow their husbands did jeer and laugh when they came upon him in his concealment, was taken in huge delight of all parties; but the manner in which Ann Page tricked the simpleton Master Slender, and the choleric old French doctor, by getting each of them to run away with a boy, dressed up in such clothes as they expected to find her in, whilst she went to get married to her own love, seemed to be liked best of all. "An admirable ending, Master Shakspeare," exclaimed the Queen, in the most gracious manner, at the conciusion of it. "We like that mum and budget conceit infinitely; indeed the whole play is one of exceeding meritoriousness ; and be assured that we will go to the playhouse the first time it shall be acted." At the hearing of this all the courtiers did join in commendation of the play, as if one was trying to exceed the other in the liberality of his praise. "If there be any merit in it, please your Majesty," said Master Shakspeare, respectfully, "without doubt 'tis owing to your Majesty's infinite condescension, in requiring of me the production of such a play; therefore I cannot say the merit be mine, but must, in proper honesty, g i ve it to th e il lustrious source from whichit sprung." The speech appeared to give her Majesty great satisfac tion, for she looked well pleased at it; and the ladies around her spoke to one another in commendation of Master Shaks pea re's modesty, and did regard him with a wonderful pleased aspect. . _ "Nay, you shall do yourself no such wrong," replied the Queen, with a kindness of manner that was truly admirable; "the performance is of your sole invention, to the which we have contributed not one line ; therefore, in no case can we claim the smallest partnership in the merit. We have been hugely taken with that fat knight of yours all along, and we haae found so much gratification in the very proper treat ment of him by the merry wives thlt we shall think the bet ter of Windsor for containing such." liberality, this the cou r ti ers b egan a pra i s i ng of her Ma j esty ' s e is of e s th excellencerelay, for s o h Andsoinely denying having any share in what gu e a n t e e ;cast ti, e h r a e d o f been e donemmight h a t at justly,her instiga tion ; and, n on said, have claim e d some part of the merit; and all, marvel ling at the extreme pl easantness of ler Majesty's did anticipate that it w ou ld b e to Master ha i k e s s p t e y a 's re h s u p m r o o u fi r t. , In that it seemed, from what immediately followed, they weie not without some grounds. " Think you there is ought in which we could do vou a service ?" inquired the Queen. "'That is there, please your Majesty, I should like done of all things," answered Master Shakspeare. " Speak then, what you would have; and if it be within it he granted," added the Queen. mc:i p es l t easevo bounds, your Majesty, 'tis but for the pardon of a dis tressed friend of mine, that bath had the ill-hap to offend your Majesty," said Master Shakspeare, with exceeding urgency; " he is one of most notable good parts; as gallant a gentleman that breathes; infinite in his accomplishments, and-princely in his ; who halls- home himself-64 on manifold occasions as is alike honourable to your Majesty, whom it was once his pride and happiness to serve; and cre ditable to himself, who now languisheth in a prison in utter hopelessness, at having, in some misguided moment, incurred your Majesty's displeasure. I will wager my life he is heartily sorry for what he hath done amiss; and that there lives not in this bountiful world one who, if he were allowed, wo6ld serve your Majesty with more honesty, valour, and devotedness." " And who may this distressed friend of yours happen to be ?" asked the Queen, in some degree pleased to meet with one of such a nature as would rather ask for another than for himself. " Sir Walter Raleigh," replied he. Thereupon every one did look amazed at Master Shak speare's imprudence, and the Queen's brow grew black of a sudden. "We are astonished that you could find no better request to make," observed the Queen, somewhat angrily; yet, in her heart, wondering that there should come before her one so bold as, in his first request of her, to plead for a disgraced favourite. "He bath done as much extreme dishonour as surely never before did crowneikpueen suffer of a subject. We have bad him placed where he shall have time to repent him of such shameful misdoings ; and there 'tis our good pleasure he shall remain. As for yourself, Master Shaks peare, you have done greatly amiss in speaking of such a traitor. It seemeth to us somewhat overbold of you. Go your ways, sir, and when we next allow of your asking of us a favour see that it contain no such offensive matter." At this Master Shakspeare bowed very low, yet, with a marvellous dignity, that was the admiration of all, and was about to depart from the presence, when my Lord of Essex, who, notwithstanding his exceeding pride and jealousy of any that did seem to interfere with his supremacy, was possessed of some noble qualities, thought to put in a word for him. "Please your Majesty," said he, "it be all out of the very honesty of Master Shakspeare's nature that he bath said this,. I will be bound for it. My honourable friend, the -Lord Southampton, hail] given nie great commendation of him ; and I do assure your Majesty be is in excellent good report of all men. What he bath urged in behalf of his friend is in the manner natural; and methinks he might escape blame without any dishonour to Your majesty, whose bountifulness of heart can in no way suffer by it. I pray you, let not what he bath said move against him, for I fur one, who, it may be supposed, am not like to go out ofmy way to say aught upon the matter, do consider that Sir Walter Raleigh bath the requisites of a very noble gentleman." . . . Now the courtiers knew - not which to marvel at most— the imprudence of Master Shakspeare in requesting pardon for his friend, or the magnanimity of my Lord of Essex in speak ing in favour of his rival; but the consequence of my lord's speaking was, that the Queen did give Master Shakspeare a more gracious dismissal than she seemed before inclined to do; and acknowledged that she believed her captain of the guard had many commendable qualities; and it now ap peared to those around her a greater marvel than all that her Majesty should say this, when it was known that he had done her so grievous a wrong. GOLD Cots.—We mentioned last week that the. Queen had issued a proclamation ordinary that a double sovereign shall pass current if of the weight of 10dwts. and 5 grains; a sovereign if of the weight of 5 dwts. and 214 grains; and a half sovereign if of the weight of 2 dwts. and 13% grains. These weights are some grains less than the standard weights of the same coin as' fixed by her Majesty's proclamation of the sth . of July last, which directs that the double sovereign shall be coined of the weight of 10 dwts. 6 grains and 5480- ten thousandths of grain troy; the sovereign of the weight of 5 dwts. 3 grains and 2740. ten thousandths; and the half sovereign of the weight of 2 dwts. 13 grains and 6370-ten thousandths of a grain troy. A BRCTE.—A fellow who rejoices in the name of Hop*, and who resides eta village near Barnsley, the other day tool: in his finished work to the manufacturers in that town, leaving his wife in such a state of health that she was not expected to survive till be returned. When he had finished his business at his employer's, he called upon the Registrar of Births at Barnsley, fur the purpose of registering his wife's decease. The disgusted register, on hearing the circumstances, ordered the unfeeling wretch about his business. when he skulked away, muttering that he had called beforehand, as he thought it would save him a journey.—Leeds Intelligencer. ETIQUETTE OF SALUTES.—We were not a little surprised on Monday morning to hear a salute of 19 guns fired from the platform, in compliment to the Board of Admiralty ; but on inquiry we find, by a recent order in Councii, that their Lordships are entitled to such on visiting' officially a garrisiin town, in common with Ambassadors, the Governor-Gerieral of India, Lord Warden of Cincure Ports, and Commander of the Forces. Field Marshals and Admirals of the Fleet are entitled to 17 guns; Envoys Extraordinary and Ministers Plenipotentiary, First Lords of the Admiralty, Master-Gene ral of the Ordnance, Admirals, and Generals, to 15 guns; Lieutenant-Generals, Vice-Admirals, and third-rate Diplo matic characters, to 13 guns; Charges d'Affaires, Rear- Admirals, Major-Generals, to II guns ; consequently, every flag officer coming to this port to hoist his flag, and all officers arriving with their flags flying, will be saluted from the plat form, and general officers going on board ships are also to saluted. The salutes fur the sth of November and the restora tion of Charles 11. are discontinued.—Plymouth paper. INDIAN DANCING Gant..—As no entertainment can in India be complete with Out a nautch, the party, on the even ing which they spent at the Rung Muht, were called upon to admire the graces of not fewer than fifty dancing girls, who, with their attendant musicians, performed for the amusement of the company. After the inferior stars had appeared and disappeared, the grand constellation of Hyderabad enlight ened the scene. Talent, as we have had before occasion to state, when once established in India, runs no risk of being eclipsed by the competition of younger aspirants; in fact, the longer a person has appeared before an audience, the more highly do they seem to rise in public estimation. The prima donna absolaia of Hyderabad was said to be nearly sixty years old, and to have shone the reigning beauty for the last half century. Her countenance, though not destitute of traces of age, retains that mark of loveliness for which she had been famous, and the youthful voice and air with which she sang and danced were perfectly surprising. During her public career, this favourite of nature and of fortune had amassed very considerable wealth, contriving also to possess herself of great influence in the place of her abode. Her dress on the prestnt occasion was of the richest and most costly description, and she wore jewels which were valued at three lees of rupees, or £30,000. Elegance and taste are very frequently sacrificed in the female Asiatic costume to a grand display of precious stones, which are heaped together in every possible way, without the slightest regard being paid to the style of the arrangement..—Asiatic Journal. THE PROTESTANT CHAMPION.-011 Sunday last, the Rev. T. D. Gregg, who so triumphantly floored the champion of Romauism, Father Torn Maguire, in the late discussion at Dublin, preached two sermons in Haigh Church, morning and afternoon, and in the evening the rev. gentleman preached in St. George's church, in this town, and although it was not known until Sunday morning that he ivouLt ap pear in a pulpit in Wigan, yet such was the excitement, that the church was crowded to excess, and hundreds returned from the doors unable to obtain accommodation. The Rev. B. Powell. incumbent of St. George's, read the prayers ; and the Rev. Mr. Gregg, on ascending the pulpit, took his text from Zacchariab, v. 5,6, 7,8, 9, 10, 11. The . rev. gentle man showed, by comparing his text with other portions of Scripture, that popery was plainly pointed out in the passage, as "wickedness established on its own baie," that it was a mystery of iniquity," and the curse of the country where it predominated. Why was Ireland a wretched and unhappy country, and his countrymen beggars, strolling about England bare-legged and bare-backed? Because she was under the curse of God fur adhering to popery. Why was Italy, Spain, Portugal, and every other nation where the apostacy of Rome prevailed, degraded? Because they were under the wrath of God for being leagued with the beast. If they would contrast them with England, they would find those countries in which popery reigned triumphant, most wretched; whilst England was the land of the happy and the brave, the con queror of nations, and the admiration of the world; she was the place of peace, happiness, prosperity, delicacy, and decency, because she was a psalm singing and religious na tion, and he prayed to God she might long continue so. He had heard and joined with delight in the worship of that place where they were assembled, and happy would Ireland be when she would exhibit such testimony of the progress of true religion in her _parishes. The rev. gentleman con cluded a most powerful discourse, which occupied one hour and a half in delivery, and which was listened to with breath less attention, by urging on his hearers the necessity of valuing _their privileges as Protestant christians, and prizing their bible as the most important guide in life and death.— Wigan Gazette. LORD KENNEDY.--The Chesterfield Courier of Saturday, in copying " A Romance of Real Life," the same as appeared in the Iris a fortnight ago, says—" The subject of this inte resting romance paid us a visit on Tuesday evening last, dressed in his costume of a collier, feeling, doubtless, that his old robes sat easier than his new.' He informed us that from Derby he and his wife went to Sheffield, where they had an interview with some of the elite of the city of soot.' After spending a short time there an altercation en sued between the happy pair,' and the fair bride 'riving refused to accompany him, be left ber with a full determina tion to obtain what he called a reverse,' Anylice divorce. He carried with him several documents, amongst which was a copy of the marriage register, and a statement of the facts connected with his singular history. He formerly belonged to the Society of Wesleyans, and previous jo his marriage he extracted from his wife a promise that she should attend the chapel with him, as well as the class-meetings of the society. Thjs, however, she refused to do, and expressed her enmity in no measured terms against religion and its professors ge nerally. Some doubts were expressed that this collier was not the genuine fortunate youth, but some fellow who had surreptitiously obtained the documents he exhibited. We are, however, inclined to believe it was the 'veritable broth of a boy;' he exhibited too much ignorance, to be capable of fraud. He further stated that he left his faithless rib reeling about the streets of Sheffield in a beastly state of intoxication." Some of our townsmen say he is wyt, but we are assured he is wit so soft as he looks, as he has contrived to make some of the knowing ones look as foolish as himself. We may just add, that we believe he has as much claim to the title and estates of Lord Kennedy, as poor Sampson the well-known chimney-sweep.—Sheffield Iris. LIFE AND PROGRESS OF A PETTIFOGGER —Sunday morn ing, died in the Boston union workhouse, Mr. Joseph Cope, solicitor, aged 75. Mr. Cope has practised in Boston 46 years; he was gentlemanly in his deportment, and pleasing in his manners; and.had the advantage of an education far superior to many attorneys. Seine years ago he acquired great celebrity as a pleader at quarter sessions, and was'con sidered the terror of his opponents. The profession did not deem him a sound lawyer, although he was very expert in finding a flaw in an indictment, or browbeating a witness in cross-examination, on which means the success of his causes chiefly depended. At one period of his life be possessed con siderable property, and ran his carriage; but of late years he bad become a pettifogger in the worst sense: he had re course to every species of fraud and trickery that would dis grace the profession, and ruin his clients. Through extrava gence and licentiousness he lost all his ill-gotten gains; and for the last two or three years he lived entirely on the charity of humane individuals, but at length was compelled to seek an asylum in the worknouse, having tired out nearly all his friends. He maintained his austerity and pride to the last, and would very frequently assume the dignity of by-gone clays. Some months ago he attempted to pay his addresses to a respectable young lady, about 17 years of age. He wrote to her, and promised to make an alteration in his will in her favour, if she would, consent to become his. Some time before be went into the union, he was two days without food, and had nothing but a little cold water. A gentleman who heard of it, sent him a large _basket frill of victuals; among the rest was the middle of a fine neck of mutton, which he ordered to be roasted on the following day; but he would not touch a mouthful until his landlady could borrow sufficient money to obtain a pot of currant jelly The pro fessional gentlemen of Bosto❑ and the neighbourhood offered to allow him a handsome weekly stipend, if he would leave off his practice, which he indignantly refused, and observed, that he would never consent to live upon charity while Provi dence had blessed him with the use of all his faculties unim paired.—Lincoln Gazette. IMPORTANT TO LOAN SOCIETIES.—A Mr William Rey nolds appeared before Mr. Maude, at the New Bailey on Monday last, in answer to a summons which had been issued against him, to show cause why he should not pay the sum of £2os. 9d., being an instalment due to the Adelaide LB/ Loan Society, by Caleb Hill, for whom he and another per son had become surety. Mr. Edward Foulks appeared on behalf of the Loan Society; and Mr. Bullock, attorney, appeared for Reynolds. Mr. Foulks quoted the Bth section of the 5 and 6 William IV. c. 2.3, commonly called the Loan Societies Act, which gives the magistrates power, in case an instalment, which is due, remained unpaid, to issue a war raneof distress against the goods of the party summoned. Mr. Hardman, the secretary to the society, proved the sign ature of the defendant to the promissory note, and stated that _the persm who borrowed the money hoc! gone to Liver pool. Mr. Foulks then put in• a doctiment signed by Mr. Tidd Pratt, the barrister appointed to certify the rules of friendly societies, which stated that he approved of the rules; and that he had transmitted a copy to the clerk of the peace to by enrolled. Ms. Bullock, on the part of the defendant, contended that.they must have evidence, that the rules had been duly enrolled. Mr. Foulkes then quoted the 4th sec tion of the act, which states that the certifying barrister shall transmit a copy to the clerk of the peace, and said they had his certificate that he had done that, which he contended was sufficient according to the act of parliament. Mr. Maude said he thought the defendant had a right to require evidence that the rules had been enrolled; but if that were required, the defendant would have the additional costs to pay. Mr. Bullock then applied for the summons to be dismissed; but Mr. Maude said he would not dismiss it, but would postpone it till ,the first day of the sessions, when the deputy-clerk of the peace would be here, and could prove the enrolment. The case was then postponed.—[We understand that this is the first application of the kind to this court:l—Manchester Guardian. MECHANICS' INSTITUTION. LECTURES ON THE STRUCTURE aND HISTORY OF THE ARTICUL✓ITED 4 MOLLUSCOUS CL✓ISSES OF ANIMALS. On Wednesday evening Dr. Grant delivered his fifth lec ture, to a numerous and respectable audience. The subject of this evening's lecture was the arachnidan and crustaceous• animals. The arachnid are formed to feed upon other insects, and we find that they do so at the earliest stages of their existence. There are indeed a great number of animals which resort to this kind of food. Many of the manimalia are formed to sub sist entirely upon it, for large as are the anteaters we find that they are especially organized for insect food. The ant eaters have a lengthened. narrow, cylindrical tongue, which is entirely lubricated with a a salivary secretion. This they dart amongst the ants, and as they cannot escape, when a sufficient number adhere to the surface the animals withdraw their tongues into their mouths. Many of the feathered tribe are organized to subsist upon the same nourishment, even those which are adapted to feed upon grain are obliged in the breeding season to change this kind of granivorous food for that of insects. We observe the reptiles which are intended to eat the larger tribe of animals all begin with in- Sects. Nay, many of the saurian tribe of reptiles—the lizard tribe, are observed to live upon insects all their life. Many persons must have observed the dexterity with which the chamelions seize upon the flies which alight upon the branches of trees to feed upon their juices. We observe that a large portion of the fishes have air vessels, for the purpose of keep ing them upon the surface of the water, so as to enable.thein to seize upon the insects which buzz upon the surface. Nay, we observe some of the fishes actually shooting the insects from off the branches of oveihanging trees. Some of them are capable of projecting a drop of water out of their mouth with such unerring dexterity that they carefully miss the in. sect as the drop ascends, but bring down the insect into their expectant mouths in its downward description of the parabolic curve. We find, in fact, that one half of the articulated tribe of animals is destined to consume the other half. Indeed, there are numerous insects which subsist on other insects. There are many situations in which they swarm, partly to obtain food from smaller insects, and partly for the protec tion which such situations afford them. Even in the most re tired situations insects have their foes to pursue them there, and prey upon them. This is the case especially with the arachnidm, creatures which have no wings or compound eyes. They have often many eyes it is true, but they are disposed in clustres or isolated groups. These arachnids°, as they are called, from their similarity to the Greek arachne or spider, waylay their prey with the utmost caution and dexterity. They for the most part possess four extremities at the four sides of the body, the trunk being distinctly jointed. The head of the animal is so disposed as to produce a part of the the thorax called the ceptialo thorax. The scorpions and spiders breathe the atmospheric air by means of four openings on the sides of their body leading to internal cavities. The cephalo thorax of the arachnithe has attachments• to the masticating organs as well as those of sensation. There are, likewise, tour pairs of legs depending to them, and an enormous organ not connected with those of motion, by which the animal transfixes and poisons its victims. The palpi of scorpions take a different form. The scorpion, like the spider, is provided with poison, but it is placed in the pos terior extremity of its body. The arachnidte, although they feed for the most part on insect's food, are not provided with wings to follow their prey through the air. Their bodies are light, and this lightness is given to them by the means of nu merous air sacs. Many of the inferior arachnidw breathe by means of ramified air tubes placed like those of insects through the exterior of their body. Others appear to breathe by the whole exterior membranous surface of the body. They are polybrancheate. These arachnidm are, however, adapted for the light movements necessary to enable them to follow in sects which have a high development of their muscular, opti cal and nervous systems. The organs of vision in the arach nidan are distributed over the muscular portions of the central thorax. • Thera are from two to eight eyes in the back part of the body, fitted with the most perfect apparatus yet found in the eye of the most complicate being. These insects are not only thus admirably adapted for overtaking the insect food upon which they subsist, but we observe that the light structure of their body is also increased by the material con stituting their exterior skeleton, which is composed like that of the true insects of an apparently horny substance called kytce. They are well provided with masticating and digestive apparatus for reducing to their own likeness the food which is allotted to them. Not only do we observe them provided with poisonous glands at the extremities of their palpi, or at the posterior ends of their trunks, but the great length of their feet enables them to seize at a distance those insects which may be escaping. We observe, likewise, that those animals are provided with glandular follicles opening exter nally by means of small malt°, from which they send out out a thin material capable of becoming solid upon exposure to the air, and of forming a thread of some density. We ob: serve that the arachuidae, with their posterior extremities, agglutinate several of these threads together to forma strong bounding cord as a ma rg i n t o t h e i r nets . These papillaecon tain a great number of p er f ora ti ons, f rom which there issue forth on compression small filaments ; which unite, and serve to compose the material of which the net is composed. These filaments are capable of being thrown out with , rapidity, and when not united so as to be capable of forming watch guards and other objects of curiosity, though they are composed so delicately, they are capable of suspending the animal in the air. With these organs they are capable of forming nets and joining them to points very ,far asunder. The industry of these arachnidae, like that of the ant, affords a most useful lesson to man, for, when upon the least agitation of the trees their strongholds become beaten down, the spiders are in ' creasing in their labours /o and fro, until they have repaired the damage which has been done to their nets. These nets are constructed with perfect similarity, each species having its own peculiar form. No spider is capable of imitating the nets of another spider of a distinct species, so that that the nets of the spider at once indicate the species to which they belong. We therefore must not ridicule the labours of Zaba, who spent a great part of his life and fortune in causing the nets of spiders to be collected and engraved. The web of a spider is a beautiful contrivance for entangling the prey which comes against it unawares. The sharp points of the feet of insects become so involved in the net that the crea tures are obliged to abide the corning of the spider, which awaits its prey in some secure corner of the net. He sees the fly caught, and comes out to poison it with his dart. If the insect be a large one he leaves it to die, and then comes and sucks thehutritious portions of its body. The scorpions, which, like evildoers, shun the light, hiding themselves un der stones and in the trunks of trees, swarm iu the jungles of the East, where a large number of insects abound We see in all parts of the economy of these arachnidm a beauti ful adaptation for animal food. The alimentary canal must be short, because they ,subsist upon insects organized like themselves. They have large biliary and salivary glands. The sea has its scorpions as well as the land, but they have upon the exterior of their thirties a dense solid coveting, as, we see in the crustaceous animals. This may wills safety be given to marine animals on accou n t o f t h e d ens i ty o f t h e me dium in which they live. The crustaceous. animals breathe not by means of air apertuies, like the araehnidre, but by gills. They breathe the oxygen which is dispersed through the waters, whether fresh . or . marine, and have many of the same arahnprovided w with th e means f or filch we observe in the cruel, id w . They voracious are ts catching the'prey upon which they are destined to subsist. We observe that the crustaceous animals are provided, like insects, with compound eyes, which are placed upon the sides of the head. These eyes are sometimes sessile and at others , pedunculated, the peduncles being som e ti mes as l ong as t h e body. The crustaceous animals are well adapted by the de velopment of their organs of sensation and vision for their situation and habits. They have two pair of antennae, of which the the inner pair is sometimes divided into two or more parts. These jointed organs of sense have a t th e i r b a se the organs of hearing, which consist of something similar to the central filament of the human ear. Although the num ber of the eyes of crustaceous animals are not equal to those of the insects, they exceed - the myrtapods. The crustaceous animals are provided with ass exterior coatin,g, which is light, considering, the density of the element in vrhich they reside and the levity which it gives to heavy bodies. They reside in caves at the.bottoin of the sea, and are much exposed to the pressure of the solid bodies which are constantly rolling about in that element. '!'heir covering surrounds and ranges over every part of the trunk of the body. We observe also that the organs of locomotion are also sheathed in large calcareous tubes, which completely envelope them, The masticating organs are similarly organised. The palpi which are attached to these masticating organs are enclosed in the same exterior covering, incapable of itself of growing. Even the antennae are enveloped with rings of the same material. When a crustaceous animal swims in the water it is backwards, and never forwards. This is occasioned by the creature flapping its tail in the water, which acts as a paddle. The tail is likewise turned underneath when the creature is alarmed, because it is least defended underneath by a calcareous skeleton. The calcareous skeleton can no more expand than the rock upon which it may be resting, as there are no blood vessels or nerves connected with it. The younger animals, as they increase in size, are therefore obliged to shed their skeletons in rapid succession. But when they have attained the adult state, they do not require to shed it often. The shedding takes place only once a year, and it is an enormous affair because of the large portion of crustaceous matter which must be secreted to cover every part of the surface. We ob serve that tbe creature first secretes within the old shell a varnish like substance, which hardens upon exposure. It then detaches itself from the whole of the exterior skeleton in which it was before so entirely encased, and which is indeed but,a loose covering over every part of the body. Another coating of thin varnish is poured out, which deeply stains the animal a blood red hue. There is no red blood in the ,body of crustaceous animals; it is a blue whitish substance which circulates in their blood vessels. It is the pigment prepared to colour the surface of the new shell. Soon there is poured out a new supply of varnish which soon hardens. This is poured out, however, by the true skin beneath the colouring matter. Before this takes place the creature is exceedingly anxious; the old prison is too narrow, it impedes the free circulation of its fluid, and it strives to disengage itself. This is done without much difficulty, except with regard to the smaller organs, and in particular the anteonm. It is a curious circumstance that when you break off one part of the leg of the spider, (and this experiment has beep re-' peated by many curious persons,) that when the last joint only for instance, of the spider's leg is broken off, the insect will itself break off the remaining joints still higher, by the joint still nearer to the body. At that part it can easily pro duce a soft organ without.any shell, but soon it begins to assume the jointed character, and you can see, small as it is, that it has all the elements of the large-tointed leg which was broken off. If the same thing is done with a crustaceous . animal it will throw off the leg hi like manner near to the burly, and shoot out a soft fleshy part which will soon become jointed and similar in appearance to the one which was broken off. Nay, it is asserted that our sailors on the coast of Spain, seeing the ease with which the legs are pro duced, used to break them off, and then leave the animals, in order that they might reproduce fresh legs against the ensuing spring. These creatures are aided in getting out of their co verings by a process which we cannot discover, so that a won derful physical change takes place previously in the carbon ate of lime. In place of being . soft and elastic, it becomes exceedingly brittle—in short, it is prepared by nature to en able the creature to escape by cracking in every part. In their struggle to disengage themselves they often break off part of their members, and are then obliged to disengage the whole of the organ. Nay, they are often completely de stroyed in their efforts to disengage themselves from their old skeletons. The pigment previously mentioned is not dis persed through the shell of the lobster, but merely on the surface, but is protected from the waters of the ocean by a thin coating or epidermis. There would not be any colour ing upon the animal were it not designed for some special purpose. It imitates the colouring of the rocks or the ma rine places in which the creatures lurk to seek their prey. The conclusion of the lecture we shall give in our next publication. BIRMINGHAM AND DERBY linnwAy.—The Birmingham and Derby Railway is i-n a state of considerable forwardness. The whole of the works from Derby to Stone Bridge are in course of actual execution, and the Directors feel confident that the line will be open for the conveyance of goods and passengers by the 30th of June, 1839. To prevent the possi bility of any delay from the want of funds to carry on the works, they have determined to borrow £200,000 in addition to the different calls which the list allows them to make upon the shareholders. At all the assizes, Queen Victoria's proclamation against Vice, Profaneness, and Immorality is read, wherein her Ma jesty enjoins the employment in public offices of none but moral and pious persons. The sincerity of the ministers who put out this proclamation may be found in the appointments of Turton, Gibbon Wakefield, Toni Duncombe, &c. If the Queen can do no wrong, she can be insulted; and it is impossible to conceive a more striking one than that given in the Canadian appointments. Lord Melbourne probably thinks the affair as good a joke as the celebrated One regard ing the chastity of Mary Magdalene. Certainly he is in no condition to complain. NORTHERN HOSPITAL WEEKLY REPORT.

The favourable change in the weather has, et the same time, bad the usual effect on the trade, checking the disposition to purchase and inducing , those desirous to sell to meet the languor of the demand by a reduction in price. At yesterday's market, Wheat, both bonded and free, was noted 4d to 6d per bushel lower than on Tuesday. English Wheat was sold at 12s to I2s 6d, the best runs of Irish at 10s 9d to lls 3d, and 10s per 701bs. may be considered a top quotation for foreign, in bond.—Oats were also 1(1 to •2d per bushel and Flour and Oatmeal Is to 2s per sack and load respectively cheaper.—ln the value of Barley, Beans and Peas no alteration was made.

The demand for Sugar continues limited, and the sales of B.P. are under 500 hhds, in some instances at rather lower prices. 1203 bags Bengal sold at 61s 6d for low, 63s for middling white, and 64s per cwt for good. and 1500 bags Mauritius at the quotations. In Foreign nothing has been done.—Molasses. 260 puns of Antigua have been sold at 27s per cwt.—Coffee. The grocers have shown less dispositon to purchase British Plant a tio n ; b u t th e h o ld ers being firm, two public sales of Jamaica went off, without any re duction in prices worthy of notice, beyond which there are no tran sactions to report.-500 pockets Bengal Ginger have been sold at 21s per cwt, and a small lot of Pimento at 3d per lb.—ln Cocoa or Pepper there is nothing to report.—No sales have occurred in Rice. —Rum continues in request, but the quantity on hand is very small. and the sales are limited to a few puncheons of fine Demerara, 31 per cent overproof, at 4s 9d per gallon.

Stockholm have been sold at 15s 9d to 16s 3d., part of which is to arrive, and 1200 brls. Archangel at 13s to 15s 3d. —Although there have been frequent enquiries for Pot and Pearl Ashes, the sales have been on a very limited scale, and in prices there is scarcely any variation.—Quercitron Bark is in good de mand, and about 300 hhds. have been disposed of during the week, at Iss to 165 6d, according to quantity and quality.—Nothing done in Cloverseed.—Flaxseed is in request, and is now generally held for higher rates ; 500 quarters of East India, for crushing, were sold at 42s per quarter.-1 - lides.--At the public sale yesterday of 770 d East India Kips, the whole were sold at very high prices ; good sound dry salt brought ltd to 111 d, rubbed 7d to 91d 1 sound brined 7d. rubbed 51d to flid, sound dry 61d, rubbed 514 to Old, and Buffaloes 41d to 41d per lb. ; about 2000 salted Buenos Ayres Ox were sold by auction on Tuesday at 41d to 41d, 300 Cows a t 4i d 160 brined at 7d, and 440 dry salted Brazil at 51d per lb.—Tobacco. —The sales of the week amount to 110 hhds., of which 40 were for Ireland, and the rema!nder to manufacturers, without change in prices.

We discover .much nervousness among holders of dry Butter since our last, and although we do not alter our quotations, we are pretty sure that a " bank note" offer would induce a reduction of 2s or 3s per cwt. Before any thing like a steady trade can be attained, the figure for the best article must be below 9d per lb. Comparatively speaking, 90s to 92s (the present asking price) for pickled Butter is considerably too high, and, with the ,existing trivial demand, we apprehend some declension from these rates. We have no new feature in the provision market. Bacon creeps up, as do also prime Hams, and both scarce. LIVERPOOL PR (Quoted as duty paid, excep Asuss,4r cwt. a. d. s. d.
