INTRODUCTORY OBSERVATIONS 1. Exercise and rest may be said to be the poles aro which are perpetually revolving all the varieties of 3, we may resolve the elec conditions of our ,nization ative pol sitive and for we shall find that as ye recede from the one state we approach the other ; as we trace up all the lower forms of life, with their limited location and powers, we approximate, as we recede from the negative, nearer and nearer to the antagonizing positive, wherein more perfect capacities are adapted for more energetic efforts, and where, consequently, an almost ceaseless ac tivity reigns. And here we see man, the crown of all creation's works, lying under the curse pronounced by the Almighty upon original transgression, with his frame beauteously fitted for activity ; appointed to sweat under needful toil in order to earn his daily food. Yet the ap petite for exertion is found gratefully alleviating Me penalty of the primeval sentence ; so that, in fact, rest less man experiences far more of a curse in idleness and fruitless inactivity, than he actually realizes under the existing urgent insqations to their opposite. Thus may we be reconciled to, and even rejoice over, that election of tho kindlier alternative which heaven has made fur us in recording her penal sentence attempered with mercy. 2. Man, therefore, loves exertion ; not only does his present condition demand and sue for it, but his constitu tion rejoices in it : and most true it ever has been, and will be, that rest itself is only to be enjoyed in succession to activity—ease is alone relished— sleep is only grate fully welcome after that. " Toil which does keep Obstructions from the mind and quench the blood; Ease but belongs to us like sleep, and sleep, Like opium, is our medicine, not our food." Sir W. D' Avenane a Gondibert. 3. Activity is E sential to the health of every organ of the boay, for, through the use and exercise of the mus cular system, the functions of the whole compound being are efficiently discharged—the circulating system is de veloped and maintained in its requisite force, and in har mony with the nervous as well as nutritive or assimila tive systems—the brain receives its nicely-balanced supply—the lungs are expanded, so as to have their in herent elasticities called forth ; whilst the heart, ac quiring full tone and and energy, as the fountain of life, again returns the vital currents back to those muscles, and throughout the varied framework of the body, in order to evolve their corresponding requisite develop- s add to the benefits of this muscular exercise the respiration of the pure mountain air,— " High on the breeze's ridge, whose lofty sides The ethereal deep with endless billows chafes." giving thereby fresh life to the blood, and that sparkling glow of colour to the cheek which is alternately dis carded and admired, as ' rude health,' by the capriciously varying tastes of society. Let the mind be emancipated from corrosive care, and in its stead be clad with that cheerfulness which the "country" so invariably excites, and we shall realise health's vital principle —bringing bliss. " Health is the soul that animates all the pleasures of life ; and without it a man starves at the best of tables—is poor and wretched in the midst of the greatest treasures. Without health, youth loses all vigour; beauty all its charms : music is grating to the ears: palaces are prisons : riches useless : honours and atendants cumbersome; and crowns themselves a burthen." 5. On the other hand, under the veil of inactivity, lurk the seeds of all manner of bodily and mental disease; the body itself wastes, or else drags its stag nant bulk along—the mental powers languish and be come obtuse— the animal spirits flag, and in recoiling again upon themselves become a prey to ennui and melancholy, with all their attendant train of evils. Hence we find in the higher classes of society, where the necessity for active bodily exertion is least remarked, that the kinds of diseases to which such classes are the most obnoxious, are exactly those derangements of the natural functions which are most directly traceable to habits of luxurious indolence, repletion and inactivity. 6. Locomotion, then, is manifestly and extensively intended by nature, so important and so various are the objects to be attained by it, and by it alone, in our social condition, whether that be in the simpler or more com plex walks of life, that the grand question resolves into into a consideration regarding the mode only, whereby healthful exercise and recreation are to be readiest found, and most accessible to the bulk of society :—ln well-arranged and agreeable pedestrian excursions, is the reply. The charm of travelling (never so great as when on foot, each stage of delightful variety is fairly won) has been a fertile theme for the pen of the letter writer and the poet to descant upon—and not alone these--the graver pen of the medical philosopher has eulogized " sweet travel:" it is an untold store of re creation for the mental and bodily consideration of our compound life ;—it expands the heart in sympathy with either the pleasure or pain of others, and adds a relish itself to the mere fact of our bare existence ; long ere the chords of our spiritual and intellectual nature vibrate to its successive series of awakening incident. A little work lately out, has the following remark on the subject " In'travelling we multiply events, and innocently. We set out, as it were, on our adventures ; and many are those that occur to us, morning, noon, and night. The day we come to a place we have long heard and read of, is an era in our lives ; and from that moment the very name calls up a picture. How delightfully, too, does the knowledge flow in upon us. and ho w f as t ! 7. For all those listless and effeminate persons, who "see no good in walking when they can ride in a carriage," the following suggestions will be void of interest or pro fit :—lnvalidness, luxury, business, or the want of time, are conditions which it is not in place here to discuss.

The mountaineers of all countries are always the strongest, and the most energetic and famous for longe vity ; not so much, as it is erroneously.asserted, owing to the purity and rarity of the air, but because their more distant habitations oblige them to tva/k many miles up and down, and because they cannot make use of any carriages whatevu, except the sliding and su r e -footed mule, chiefly serviccire for descending steep declivities.

Who has not had to experience the hitter mortification of having a trip on foot spoilt by some trifle, unheeded or unanticipated in the hey-day of the start ! What corn began to complain on the second day ? What sore heel from the wear of an ill-fit ting boot or shoe, has not destroyed all the soaring pleasure of our excursion, just when the country began to open to our eager gaze ; and who that has so paid the penalty of incaution and neglect at start ing does not wish to take good care that such shall not happen again to themselves, or to any friend, indeed, starting on a similar trip, and who will listen to the voice of experience in the matter.

In the first place, the reader will be, perhaps, snrprised to learn how many things need to be attended to in preparing for a few days or weeks excursion into the country ; and, further, that you must begin to train and harden yourself a day or two before actual setting out. (To be continued.) -.•- LYING-IN HOSPITALS The art and science of midwifery is of very early origin, coeval with, if not antecedent to, the science of medicine, and appears to have been considered as a distinct depart ment of medical practice from the most remote ages of antiquity. Thus the most ancient writer in the world refers to the midwives who attend upon Rachel, the wife of Jacob, upon Thamer, the widow of Er, and upon the Hebrew women during the Egyptian captivity. The author of the first book of Samuel makes reference to the midwife who attended upon the wife of Phineas, the son of Eli. Hippocrates, the most ancient medical author extant, who lived 1,000 years after Moses, and about 400 years before Christ, collect e d th e disjointed fragments of information which lay scattered abroad, in reference to midwifery, as well as to medicine and surgery, and pre scribed more for diseases of females than for any others. The works of Celsus, Aretteus, Moschion, Rufus, Ephesus, Galen, /Etius, Paulus lEgineta, and many others amongst the Greeks, abound with instructions in midwifery, and several of the plans of treatment re commended by the moderns were clearly predicated by ancients of the Greek school. A succession of Arabian authors, Serapion, Rhazes, Avicenna, and Albucacis, brings us down to the twelfth century. In the following century the practice of medicine began to be encouraged in England. In the year 1532, Eucharius Rhodion, a German, published a treatise on parturition. The next book of any importance upon our subject was published in England in 1540 by Dr. Raynalde. Ambrose Pars in France, and the illusti ious Harvey in England contri buted materially to the improvement of midwifery during this century. _ Hitherto, the practice of midwifery had been almost exclusively confined to female practitioners, the assistance of the physician or surgeon being required only in cases of extreme difficulty and responsibility. The Duchesse de la Valliere, the favourite mistress of Louis XIV., was the first female who placed herself under the exclusive care of a male practitioner. This event occurred in 1663. The elevated rank of the duchesse furnished to other ladies of all ranks of society an example land an induce ment to employ male practitioners, and Julian Clement, the attendant upon the duchesse, received shortly after wards the new appointment of accoucheur to the princesses of France. The increase of civilisation, together with its con comitants, crowded cities, unwholesome diet, hard la bour, personal and moral restraints, occupations injurious to health and calculated to weaken the frame, stunt the growth, and destroy that beautiful symmetry of form which nature has given —whether the consequence of necessity amongst the poor or the effects of luxury and self indulgence amongst the rich —must have tended to induce difficulty and danger in child birth, vastly greater than those occurring under circumstances more favour able to health. The increase of these difficulties would necessarily im press the sex with a powerful sense of danger; and the I manifest incapability of the ordinary midwife in cases of eltraurdinary of severity, would induce them and their friends to apply to the medical man II P. LIVERPOOL BTANDARO. to give assistance ; yet it is a fact, that the opposition to the employment of accoucheura has not been overcome in every nation until the dangers resulting from inexperi enced and inefficient practitioners have been so great as to arouse the attention of the state. In England there is no regular instruction for female midwifes. No examination under which the legislature compels them to pass. And consequently the results of want of information are most ailing. In Edinburgh, Professof Hamilton has sue eded in establishing a class of female pupils, many of Mom have risen to considerable local celebrity; but he informs us that the timidity of the sex is such as to dis "a them in general from the performance of any capi- In France the Midwife receives a regular medical education, attends lectures, walks the hospitals, Taminations necessary to her tal operations ies the e graduating as a doctor in medicine. The first lying-in hospital in London was founded so late as 1739, by Sir James Manningham, in one of the wards of St. James's Parochial Infirmary, Westminster Since that period our science ' has been cultivated much and extensively. Names high in the temple of fame appear in rapid succession, as Levret, Smellie, Beat, Gregoire, Mecktl, Siebold, Hunter, Osborne, Den man, Haighton, Clarke, Davies, Sec.; which bring us down more widely to the present day, and to those numerous and talented individuals who are now so successfully enriching this department of medical science. Hospitals and other institutions specially devoted to ob stetric cases and the diseases of women and children, have rapidly increased. Lc )n alone now possesses thirteen iidwifery institutions; Dublin has three or four; and I many of the large towns in the kingdom—Edinburgh, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle, Bristol, &c.— similar charities.—Dr. Waddp.

Our market to-day waa tolerably well attended by town and country millers, but the pause in London yesterday having checked that eager desire for buying Wheat exten sively, which was previously observable at an improvement of Is. per 701bs, that f. .advance was not supported to-day, and the transactions this morning, generally upon a moderate scale only, place our quotations merely 6d. to 9d. above those of this day se'nnight.

THE JONAH MOUSE.—" The Tay trout," says John Crorar, " lives in that river all the year round. It is a large and yellow fish with a great mouth, and feeds chiefly on salmon spawn, moles, mice, frogs, &c. A curious cir— cumstance once happened to me at Pulney Loch ; one of my sons threw a live mouse into it, when a large trout took the mouse down immediately. The boy told me what had happened, so I took my fishiug-rod which was leaning against my house close to the loch, and put a fly on. At the very first throw I hooked a large trout, landed it, and laid it on the walk ; in two seconds the mouse ran out of its mouth, and got into a bole in the wall before I could catch it."—Scrope's Days of Salmon Fishing. OUR SCINDIAN CONQUEST.—It will further appear, that the present, or rather the now deposed, dynasty of Ameers, were intruders, whose occupation of the country is not of fifty years' date ; who have not, therefore, ac quired that species of right to which sufferance gives a qualified sanction, and who could justify their title by no plea but the choice and approbation of their subjects. Now, the universally consenting testimony of all persons who have visited the territories of the Ameers, declares• that they are detested by the S c i n di ans , who sigh for any change, and who hailed the approach of the British, when on their march towards Affghanistan, in the vain hope that they were coming to release them from the absurd and intolerable tyranny of their princes, which condemned the people to misery and the very soil to reluctant sterility. Every traveller in Scinde speaks loudly in praise of the fertile and productive properties of many tracts in that neglected country, and of the resources which it would afford to commerce if its energies were not depressed.— Asiatic Journal. P.lcas iH 1793.—The celebrated Count Mirabeau, in a letter written from London just fifty years ago,. thus speaks of English prices ; it is remarkable how very nearly they are the same as those paid at the present time. "To enable you to form a judgment of the dearness of London, take the following bread, 2d. a pound ; coarse meat, 4d ; roasting beef, Bd. to 9d. ; bacon, 10d. ; butter, ls. ; can dles, 7d. ; the price of a cow, 12 or 15 guineas ; an acre of land, in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, 45 or £6 per annum. This great dearness of provisions is continu ally exc►ting murmurs among the peole ; but famine is not the consequence. The only measures taken a few years ago, by the legislature, under similar circumstances, were, laying an embargo upon English corn; and suffering the importation of foreign grain during three months. In the debates, upon that occasion, one of the first peers of Eng land observed, that the dearness of provisions was not so much a proof of a dearth of corn, as of the great super fluity of gold and silver, which war and commerce had brought into the kingdom ; that the country partook of that superfluity, which extended even to the farmer." WHAT MUST BE DONE WITH SCINDE ?—The country is now placed in our hands—how is it to be disposed of? There are but three modes : first, that of restoring it to its late possessors, with such curtailments and under such conditions as may diminish the moans of annoyance here. after ; secondly, that of replacing it under the independent authority of some member of the Calora dynasty ; o r , lastly, that of administering tha government of the country ourselves. Now, it is obvious that the late rulers of Scinde, educated as they have been, and identifying their interests with those of an army of Belooche ruffians, could never make their country a useful ally of Britain, or part to it sufficient strength to resist any invader. Want of attachment on the part of their subjects would al one enfeeble their authority, and Scinde would still remain weak, disorganised, and poor. The change of dynasty, if it were practicable, would be merely an experiment. The Calora family bad no hold upon the affections of the peo ple, and if restored must be upheld, like Shah Shooja, by British bayonets. There seems, therefore, no other pru dent alternative than that which the Governor-General of India appears to have adopted,—for no formal annexation of Scinde to the British dominions has yet been pro:nul -1 gated,—that of boldly doing in the face of the world that v.Li...11 must Lc done ctncrtly of the etlha ceur.e,, I Asiatic Journal. INIQUITY Obi THE SELIIsaa PRINCIPLE. —lf men bounded their desires after this world's goods, by what they might fairly acquire without approximating to the verge of another woe, proclaimed against him " that useth his neighbour's servi ce w ith ou t wages , an d giveth him not for his work," or who g i v es so littl e , it i s nex t akin to nothing ; there would be a manifest check put to the augmentation of estates, the embellishment of dwelling houses, and the countless etcetera of personal emulation and display. Waste land would not be enclosed as now it everywhere is; the village common would still pasture the poor man's cow, and afford picking to his little stock of poultry, instead of being made to bear grain for the wealthy farmer, or to form an addition to the nobleman's preserve. The frame of woman would not be bowed un der such burdens as ought not even to be laid on the more inevitably vitiated structure o f m an , nor wou ld h er m i n d be vitiated by compulsory admixture with labourers of the other sex, at such times, in such places, and under such circumstances as render mental contamination at least a matter of course. Children would not be immured throughout the livelong day in gloomy buildings, and their exhausting effurts protracted to thirteen, fourteen, fifteen hours of labour, to the utter exclusion of every hope that instruction, even on the most vital subjects, may reach them. The common sense of mankind assents to what inspiration declares—" Man goeth forth to his work and to his labour until the evening." Twelve hours is the limit prescribed, by universal consent, for the work of adults ; yet under the influence of this money-, getting mania, we find employers pertinaciously refnsing to bring the daily service even of their juvenile operatives within that limit. No other excuse is, or can be ad vanced ; the market, say they, must be supplied, and whatever advantage we sacrifice, others will seize. It may be so ; but the policy is very short-sighted that looks no farther than the duration of this demand ; this unhealthy, feverish craving for a supply only to be ob tained by means pregnant with destruction alike to the markets, the goods, and those who bring them there. The least taste of licentious liberty, such as our working po pulation recently obtained a snatch of, is perilous in the extreme to those who know no medium between it and the most heart-sickening drudgery ; combined with im prisonment, and the constant spectacle of luxury in ano ther class that seems to mock their privations, and to count them but as the beasts that perish.—Perils of the Nation. MORMONITE FALSEEI OODS.—I told my informant that I had seen quite enough to convince any person of ordi nary understanding, that Smith was an impostor. He replied that Smith might be as bad as he was reported to be, but that is prophecies would not thereby be proved false. He might be a swindler, a liar, a drunkard, a swearer, and still be a true prophet. David was a mur derer and an adulterer, and yet was a true prophet. St. Peter said that even in his time " David had not yet ascended into heaven." David was in hell, for no mur derer had eternal life abiding in him. So Smith might be as infamous as David was, and even deny his own revela tions, and turn away from his religion, and go to hell; but this would not affect the revelations which God had given by him. It was in vain that I attempted to correct the doctor's false positions; the stream of his heretical eloquence had begun to flow, and, finally, I suffered it to flow unchecked. He said that the truth of Mormonism did not depend on the character of Smith or of any other man. That our Lord had told the Jews that there were other sheep, not of that fold, whom He intended to bring, and that in accordance with this declaration, after his as cension into heaven, He descended again in America and preached the Gospel to the Indians, as the veracious his tory of the book of Mormon assured us. That for his own part, his faith had been produced solely by the power of God, and that if he was deceived, God'Almighty had de ceived him, and no other. " I was once an honest Athe ist," he proceeded ; " I felt that Christianity could not be true, since Christians have not yet decided among them selves what Christianity is. I was induced by curiosity to listen to the preaching of a Mormon elder. My attention was strongly arrested ; I began to believe in God, and for many weeks and months was earnest in my prayers to Him for a knowledge of the truth. After a space of six months, I was one night lying awake in my bed medi tating, when suddenly a conviction of the reality of the Christian religion flashed upon my mind like lightning. I saw the truth of the Scriptures and of the book of Mor mon. I felt powerfully convinced that the prophecies of Joseph Smith were from God. At the same time I was filled with a supernatural extasy which resembled heaven itself. I could not restrain my feelings, but cried out, 0 my God, if it be thus to be baptized with the Holy Ghost, what must it be to be baptized with fire! From that time I have been a member of the ' Latter-day Church,' and, believe me, I would rather be an honest Atheist again, than embrace the doctrines of any of the sects. If the religion which I profess be false, there is no true religion upon earth." IMPROVEMENTS IN AGRICULTURE, CHIEFLY THE WORK OF THE ANGLO-SAXON RACE.—It is a most re markable fact, if you will pardon me for indulging in a general reflection, that till lately all great discoveries and improvements in agriculture seem to have been the pro duct of the very earliest infancy of mankind. Who can tell, my lord, when that instrument that lies at the basis of all civilisation, the plough, was invented? Who can tell when man first called in the partners of his labour, the horse, the ox, the cow, the swine, the sheep, and took them into profitable alliance with himself? If you could find out who was the shepherd that first caught the wild dog, and taught him to help and tend the flock, you ought to rear a monument of brass or a marble cenotaph to his memory —a higher monument than was ever raised to hero or monarch. Who knows where the cereal grains or the esculent roots were first cultivated ? There is but one of them as you know, the potatoe, of which the history is known—all the rest retire back into the darkest antiquity. They were cultivated at a time when your ancestors were roaming over the morasses of the now beautiful free and merry England—(cheers) : when our ancestors were roam ing painted savages through the land. Aye, and when the Romans and Greeks were living on beech nuts and acorns —(hear, hear). It seems, in fact, that in reference to the progress of agriculture, mankind has followed that curious law which Mr. Owen alluded to at the council dinner yes terday—the law that governs the ruminating animals in the tropics. He pointed out to us most beautifully that the ruminating animals there have a large fat lump between the shoulders. This is nourished and grows in the first five months of the year, when there is plenty of food, and they get along with the hump as well as they can through the seven succeeding months of scarcity. So it seems with mankind with respect to agricultual discove ries. In the very infancy of the race they get this large fat hump between the shoulders, and for 3,000 years they lived upon little or nothing else—(cheers and laughter). The very plough that we read of in Virgil we may now see in use in the south of Europe. We see it still in the hands of the peasantry as we discover it in bas relief on the sculptured remains of antiquity. It is a most pleas ing fact that this revival of the great art of agriculture in these latter days of the world is the work of the Anglo- Saxon race of which you have spoken. It has been left to you, and if you will permit me to say to us, living as we do in this ungenial climate, beneath these weeping skies ; (the rain was at this moment descending in torrents, and the observation was loudly cheered); it has been left to us to do that which not Italy nor Greece has been able to do with all.their sunny climate. Yes, and it is the want of those tropical luxuries, those enervating breezes of the south that has given you, that gives us, that hardihood, that perseverance, that industry, that resolution, that are worth all the spices and all the gold of the tropics— (cheers). Yes, it is this that enables you to make that boast in which I hope you will permit me, for my country to join— " Man is the nobler. growth our soil supplies, And souls are ripened in our northern skies." —Mr. Everett, at the Royal Agricultural Meeting. THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS ..—The second volume of this spirited and elegant newspaper, for the half-year ending with June, is made complete with a noble and boldly executed title-page, index, preface, &c., issued with the usual weekly number of last Saturday. The suc cess of this publication has been unprecedented ; we need not say that it has also been deserved. DUELLING. In our last we acquainted our reader& with one of those desperate and unhappy, offences which have so long con stituted the disgrace of law and the curse of society.. A man in the prime of life, for Colonel Fawcett was but 35 a gallant soldier, for he had just received an honour for his gallantry in the Chinese campaigns —and a husband— has been put to death by his own relative. We are per fectly aware that this homicide has been committed in a duel, according to the ru l es ma d e b y the clubs, military messis, and such other high l ega l authorities, and that though the law of the land condemns such acts as murder, yet as fashion says they are useful, very gentlemanlike, and even very necessary things, the law will not find itself able:to do anything in the matter.; and the person who killed the deceased will go about his proper business as usual, unless, indeed, some similar invitation be given to himself to go out and be killed, In the meantime a goodly formality, is gone through, every atom of which might as well be spared, for it will be wholly ineffectual. Everybody on and off the jury knows that Colonel Fawcett was shot dead at five o'clock in the morning, after having gone to the Hampstead road to shoot at, or be shot by, another person ; that he was killed on the spot ; and that there is no doubt whatever that his miserable end, the extinction, of all his hopes, uses, and services in this world, the widowing of his wife, and perhaps the bitter sorrows of a mother and sisters, were all inflicted in, the space of five minutes after he alighted from his cabriolet, by the hand of the gentleman who, also being allied to him, came out for the purpose thus quickly and completely accomplished. Yet, if his antagoaist on this unhappy occasion had shot Colonel Fawcett in his back, or at night, or is a wood, or in a private room and alone, the case would be declared murder, and the murderer would be hanged. Yet, what is the difference in the result ? None that we can possibly discover. The gallant soldier is as much lost to life as if he had been stabbed by an assassin ; the only palliative (I) being, that he was killed with two gentleaien looking on and a surgeon in attendance; that he was killed in the face of day, and with a pistol in his hand, by which he might at the same time have killed the husband of his wife's sister ; two individuals b e i ng thus destroyed instead of one, and two sisters made widows at the same time. But why waa this act of blood committed? Nobody knows. What has it remedied ? Nobody can tell. There has been some rumour of some words between the an tagonists on some money transaction. Has a bullet the faculty of clearing up the account ? has it made the wronging party the right ? has it cleared the character of any one? Not in the least. It has only showed that one of the parties could kill the other; and for this purpose a soul is sent naked before God, in the very act of defying his commands. Why should such things be in any country ? Why should they be tolcratod for a nroulclll in a country ahose proudest bo as t is that it holm the faith of the Scriptures in its purity? If paganism was never guilt% of this atrocious stain—if the bravest people of the ancien world, the romantic Greek and the daring Roman, neve r dreamed of it, as either a stimulant or a sign of nationti courage—if it originated only in that dark and blood superstition which, making religion the sanction of ever vice, insulted the justice of heaven, by annexing its jude ment to the chances of the sword, until the monk and the hired champion settled the price of life together, and th trade of the assassin grew out of the abominations of boti —is it not time for Christian England to raise her voice' against this direct insult to all justice and all humanity Why does not the church come forward to denounce tht crime ? Where are our bishops ? Why do they not com mand their clergy to preach against it? Where are tht gatherers of public meetings on a hundred purposes no , a hundreth part so important ? Where is the associatiot of which we have heard so much? And why are not tht authorities of the church called upon to protest in th , most solemn and decisive manner against a custom whicl is a crying evil in the sight of God and man ? Why, wr ask, are not our bishops forward in the extinction of thi: sport of blood and misery ?—Britannia.
