1 Vottrg. A PARODY. (From the John Bull.) A Noble so bold and a Premier so bright, Conversed as they dined with the Queen. They bowed towards e:u•h other in manner polite: Earl Durham the proud was the name of the Knight, The Premier was Melbourne I ween. " And, all!" said the Earl, " since to-morrow I go To govern a far distant land, Your tears for my absence soon ceasing to flow, ' 4. : L ^~ i t~ I ALONZO THE BRAVE AND THE FAIR IMOGENE. You'll betray your old friend underhand." " Oh hush these suspicions, I pray," Melbourne said, " So hurtful to Whiggery and me ; For of the Ministry I . am the head, I swear by this Virgin, that none in your stead Shall Pet of the Cabinet be. " And if ere for another my whim shall decide, Forgetting Earl Durham the brave, God grant that, to punish my falsehood and pride, Thou, crossing the ocean by steam, wind, and tide, May all of a sudden appear at my side, And pronounce me a false-hearted knave." To Canada hastened the Governor bold : Says Melbourne—" I'm rid of a bore !" Butscarce bad a quarter elapsed—when behold Lord Broughain began such a tale to unfold, As aroused e'en Glenelg from his snore. When he showed how the Earl bent the laws to his will, Melbourne felt rather qualmish within. " To abandon my friend," says he, " looks very ill; But to give up my place Pray, my Lords, pass the bill, For Lord Durham I don't care a pin." And new bad the business of Parliament ceased, Pheasant shooting had also begun ; The Ministers met to carouse and to feast, And greatly their laughter and fun were increased When they thought how Lord Durham was done. 'Twas then from the hall came a terrible sound, Double knocking unusually loud : " By Jove!" says Lord Melbourne, with looks most profound, " Here's that plaguy Lord Durham returned, I'll be bound" — When, lo ! scowling darkly and fiercely around, In marches John Lambton the proud. His Mackintosh "patent" was buttoned up tight, His visage was sallow to view ; All laughter and pleasure were hushed at his sight, Every 'Whig, as he eyed him, drew back with affright, And the Ministers looked precious blue. His presence all bosoms appeared to dismay, As the guests sat in silence and doubt : At length spoke Lord M., while he trembled, " I say, My friend, who are you? What's your business, I pray' Ir your mother aware you are Out? The Earl he looked savage, and Qt ., ' h e re pli e d His eyes on the l'remier he bent; Then raising his hand:, with the lingers spread wide, To the tip of his nose 'its right thumb he applied,• And thus to his feelings gave vent. All present then uttered a terrified! shout, And fled with alarm from the scene: The Lords they crawled in, and the Lords they crawled out While Durham, erect in it postal., to spout, Thus addressed the et Id.) of the Queen : " Behold me, thou false one! Behold me," he cried; " Behold thy Earl Durham, attend ! God grants that, to punish the weakness and pride, I, crossing the ocean by steam, wind, and tide, should all of a sudden appear at thy side, And pronounce thee a fare-hearted friend." Thus laying, his Macintosh round him he flung, And rushed from the place in disdain ; And " surely," says he, " I deserve to be hung If ever again I'm the Whigs found among, Or am toads a cat's paw of again." Not long ruled the Whigs, and none since that time To applaud or defend them presume; For chronicles tell, that by orders sublime, There's a punishment suited fur every crime, And contempt is the fickle man's Midst his Peers, in their session, 'tis Durham's delight His false friends with his taunts to confound: lie exposes their baseness ',villa eloquent might, While shouts of " Hear, hear," and " It sarves them quite right," Make the Parliament halls to resound. While the Whig:, out of place, look quite downcast and grave, Laughing round theta the 'Tories are seen; And nightly with scorn Brougham chants forth this staves— " May the glozing-tonguedt Lord be exposed by the brave, And never more dine with the Queen." • A poetical description of the operation which is vulgarly called " taking a sizht. - + I cannot form my tongue to ;lose, cc.—Vide Lord Brougham's Speech. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. POPERY. (From the Cari../e Pcartot.) Those persons who believe that Popery is not the same intolerant persecuting faith that it ever was, and that it would not rekinnl.! the fires of persecution, if the opportunity of doing so presented itself, reay, per haps, be disabused of their error by reading an ac count of the conduct of two Papist priests in the island of Achill, in Ireland. In this island, a little Protestant colony has been formed, and Protestant schools established which have been the means of com municating the truths of the gospel to many of the be nighted population around, to whom the Bible had been a prohibited book. The success which has at tended the efforts of the infant colony excited the ani mosity of the Popish priesthood, who have, during the last six months, particularly, been using their ut most exertions to drive away the Protestants. Two priests, Harley and the latter of whom auda ciously usurps the title of Archbishop of Tuatn, have particularly distinguished themselves by their violent proceedings. We extract the following passages from a long article in the Achill Herald : Mr. Harley, not satisfied with holding the people up to the abborrence:oi Isis flock by a public denunciation of their names in the chapel, came to the house of some to curse them to their fate. In one cabin which this minister of cursing visittd, he found a poor woman lying ill upon her bed—' I am come,' said he, 'to ask you in the presence of these witnesses,' turn ing to four men who had accompanied him, whether you will take your children from the school and return to the church.' The woman - meekly replied that she could Out comply, her mind was made up, and there was no use in speaking to her on such a subject. Mr. Harley then discharged a volley of exe cration, informing her that be left upon her his curse and the eerie of God, and the curse of the congregation, together with the 7i)o curses (seachd mile mallachtuigl7) which Father Martin (the twiner priest of this parish) had sent her. On Sunday a large concourse of people assembled at the chapel under the wildand retired mountain of Menane, where Mr. M'Hale appointed to meet them. When the idolatry of the mass was hnishval, the Rev. Mr. Hughes and Dr. M'Hale addressed the assembled multitude in language becoming the priests of such a worship. Dr. iNl'Hale, the more to impress the simple people with a notion of his dignity, appeared in the open field, robed in gorgeous canonicals, with a mitre upon his head, and a crosser in his hand. Mr. Hughes first addressed the people. He told them that ' God gave them all things;' if,' said he, 'you have cows, or horses, or meal, it is from 'sod you got them, and I would, rather than any profit you could have from them, that you would throw your goods into the sea, or into a hole, than take the rotten muney of the junipers or preachers for them: by throwing them into the sea you would give them to God, front whom yon gut them ; but by selling them to the jumpers you give them to the devil. I give you my advice that when you meet the jumpers or preachers you cut the sign of the cross between yourselves and them, and us for the children that you send to their school, it too hl be better for you to cut their throats with a knife, fur when they are in hell they will call upon God to put seven times more punishm'ent upon you, their fathers and mothers, fer letting them go to such schools. I give you my advice now to stand against your enemies for they are striving to gain the victory over us. 'When you meet with a jumper ur preacher, if in your house, put them out—if else, here, pot them in a bog-hole for tea minutes, and if they rise out of it, let them go home to that furnace (the Protestant colony) at the foot of the hill. ' Do not sell anything to them, nor supply them with a parti cle, and I expect that by these means you will make them fly out of the island.' Dr. M 'Hale nest spoke to the people. He commenced his address with an affi)ctatioo of humility badly according with the sequel. 11 ,, said, ' I have no power of myself, but lam in place of an apostle. '1 are the flock, and I son the shepherd. Every one that goes under the hand of a bishop is sure of sal vation, but these Cursed pe, , ple beyond ( na daoine malluighthe,) avoid them— keep them from you, for they have no founda tion for their faith, they are as if )ou would put a boat on the sea without oars or rudder, yyieiru would be driven here and there with every wind that blew. I call upon you to make a solemn promise this day 11,1 to have anything to do with them. I call upon toe mouulains and sea to witness this promise. You must erect in this very spot a monument which, whenever you see it, will remind you of your promise to me this day. There is no place of hell which more engages the Almighty than tyre Protestant rehnig. If the peo ple living there would forsake it, and torn to him, he (Dr. l'Hale) would forgive them their sins, and offer up the blood of Christ for them. and give orders to the priest of the parish to do the same. The people have no right to be in that co lony : this island was like the garden of our Saviour, when these cursed people came to it, and I hope I shall have my prayer from our Saviour and the Blessed Virgin that this island shall again be as it formerly was. You have heard the tree word of God. The danger is near you, and nothing bat the Lent is keeping you out of it. The Blessed Virgin is despised by these people, Christ is despised by them. When you, especially you who are now confirmed, are in the great est danger, pray to the Blessed Virgin—if you see the gates of hell open, then pray to her. A full report of these circumstances has been laid before the Irish government ; but they will not ven• tore to offend their toaster, O'Connell, by enquiring into them. THE SCHISM IN THE CONCLAVE. MACHALE V. MURRAY AND THE BOARD. ( Prom the Dublin Evening Mail. j At great inconvenience to ourselves, though we trust with benefit to our readers, we have, by displacing other matter prepared for this evening's publication, made room for the long, and, we must add, the impor tant letter of Dr. M'Hale to the Roman Catholic Clergy and Faithful of the Diocess of Tuam, which appears iu the Freeman's Journal of this morning. To the Roman Catholic laity of Ireland this letter is of the most paramount interest. It brings the op ponents and the advocates (we speak of those amongst the Roman Catholic community) of the national sys tem to issue—it sounds the trumpet which proclaims M'Hale and his sutTragans to have entered the contro versial lists, in compliance with the flourish sounded by Murray and his adherents, in the epistle of the latter titular, to which we recently called public attention. There is, therefore, an evident schism in the church —a rent in the unity of doctrine, so long, and so loud ly, and so falsely vaunted of. The adverse champions have taken the field. We cannot, with the heralds of old, say of either—" May God defend the right"—for they are both so far in the wrong, that they can do no thing but pull down the ruins of error on their own Leads ; but we say, may God elicit the truth from the confusion of its opponents and may the Roman Ca. tholic laity he enlightened by the name that rages be tween their belligerent pastors. So far as the contra verity liar gon, we are clearly of opinion, that, on P4pisticai z,r(.nvis, kOt Oil, He has, by the induction of the resolutions of the Roman Catholic prelates in 1826, fairly committed Dr. Mur ray and his followers against the entire of the Popish hierarchy—nay, against themselves and their own sig natures; and left to them the choice only of admitting that if the board be now right, the Popish synod was then wrong: or, if the synod were then right, the board is now wrong. In the one case the principles of the national system fall to the ground; in the other, the decrees of an infallible synod are shaken to the centre. Roman Catholic laymen will not fail to observe with astonishment the admission of M'Hale—that education is thepoison most dangerous to the _edijilepcg of man Catholic doctrine. Many of them havelmbibed sufficient of this poison to know whether education indeed be an ingredient dangerous to the well being of society, the faith of a Christian, or the salvation of a sinner; and they will give its due weight to the doc tor's admission. Others will observe with disgust the usurpation of the Roman Catholic prelates of those rights which belong exclusively to parents—namely, such as pertain to the education of their children ; and few, we trust, will be able to read, without disgust, and a bitter sense of indignation and resistance, the assertion of an exclusive right in the Roman Catholic bishops to permit the reading of the holy Scriptures in the vernacular tongue. Will any of them, living under the free institutions of Great Britain, boasting of the name of freemen, contending for civil and re ligious liberty, and witnessing the. Christian freedom of their Protestant brethren—will any of them, we say, submit to the arrogant, the despotic assertion, that, " The power of permitting the vernacular Scriptures in or out of school hours, whether in separate or joiut education, is a power which no secular, or even ecclesiastical, board or bishop has a right to exercise, without the permission of the ordinary of the diocese in which such vernacular versions are read." The press of other matter prevents our expanding the considerations arising from this claim to-day, but on a future occasion we shall not fail to revert to it. LORD DURHAM AND THE MINISTRY. (From the John Bull.) Lord Durham is uot arrived, although by poetica - . - license our facetious parodist of to-dav gives an ac. count of his " appearance," Lord Melbourne feels, with regard to his return, much as the children do, who beg for the absence of old Nick— " For if he comes"— he will inflict upon his lordship and his colleagues such a castigation as may render the tenure of their seats in the Council inconvenient, if not impossible. It may be remembered that some fortnight since we mentioned the receipt of a letter from Canada, the contents of which we were not permitted to impart to our readers. The murder is now out, and the Cana dian papers state, from what they hold to be unques tionable authority, that Lord Durham has stated that the appointment of Mr. Turton, which Lord Melbourne denounced in the House of Lords, and not only de nounced but declared_ his disbelief in, was made at Lord Melbourne's own suggestion. To this report we give no credit : it must be some thing more than newspaper authority, however re spectable its sources of information may be, that will induce us to give credence for one moment to the possibility of such conduct on the part of Lord Mel bourne—the thing is impossible. The only thing, which may in any degree justify such an insinuation, is the possibility of the existence of a letter written to Lord Durham by Mr. Stanley, by Lord Melbourne's direction, touching Mr. Turton's appointment, and which may give some colouring to the American statements that Lord Melbourne knew more of the appointment than he admitted in the House of Lords; but we repel, with scorn and indignation, the attempt of a Colonial faction to fasten upon a nobleman of high honour and principle (however unfit for the Premier. ship), conduct which, if proved against him, must not only drive him from the Ministry, but banish him from society. That Lord Durham is exceedingly angry, and ex ceedingly angry with just cause, nobody need doubt. The selfish weakness with which Ministers abandoned him to save themselves, was one of their most con temptible acts; but in spite of the enthusiastic cheers for his Excellency, and the burning of Lord Brougham, and the denunciation of his false friends, the greatest possible benefits will-arise to Canada from his Excel lencv's removal. • - We have received a letter from an influential and extremely well-informed man —unfortunately written in terms too violent to be inserted—who describes the feeling of disgust which Lord Durham's conduct has excited amongst the Loyalists of Upper Canada, as something unquenchable. They feel themselves at once insulted and betrayed, and according to his view of affairs, the removal of Lord Durham was essential to the safety of the colony. In fact, we believe nobody is sorry for what has happened, except the Radical revolutionary party in America, and Mt. O'Connell's Ministry in London; and rely upon it, the one faction does not more deeply regret his departure than the other dreads his arriv The shameful \ indsor made falsehood of the Queen's having written to his Excellency to stay where he was, has been contradicted by authority, being equally decent and proper with that which we noticed a week or two since, touching another autograph epis tle to the King of Naples about Lablache. POPERY AT LEEDS—THE PUSEYITES. (From the Statesman and Dublin Record.) These priests are very clever fellows in their way ; hut in spite of all their wisdom and cunning, they some times overshoot the mark. Brought up in the school of Loyola, they know how to accommodate themselves to places and circumstances, and to suit their doctrines to the meridian under which they live. Every day affords fresh proof that the religion of Rome, with all its boasted unity and infallibility, has no claim whatever to such pretensions, and does not in the zenith of its power stand " in the unity of the faith." Our attention has been directed to the Leeds Mercury, in which there is a flaming account, with a flourish of trumpets, of the opening of " St. Ann's (Roman) Catholic Church in the town of Leeds." The usual pomp and ceremony, with all its imposing concomitants of dress, music, &c. &c., form a rich display in the foreground of this idol atrous exhibition. The simplicity of worship which prevails in churches dedicated to the one true God, would not suit the purpose of men who are driven to the necessity of captivating the imagination, when they cannot convince the understanding. It would appear that, on the present occasion, nothing was wanting to render the pantomime complete. The scenery, dresses, and decorations accorded with the most approved plan of theatrical representations, and the tout ensemble was, no doubt, calculated to produce the most imposing effect on weak and unstable minds. The act of dedica tion would have been nothing without an appeal from the pulpit. "The Rev. Dr. Youens, of Liverpool, preached a sermon from 2 Chronicles, vii. 12." We are informed that "the necessity of an altar sacrifice was dwelt on; and the preacher assured his hearers, that it was not because the Catholic body supposed for a moment that it could add to the great sacrifice itself, but only BY REPRESENTATION to place that awful event constantly before the people, and thus tend to keep alive in their breasts the feeling of responsibility which rested on them." Such an assertion as this may pass current in England; and the preacher was, no doubt, aware that, in making a false statement, he could reck on on the credulity of his hearers. How can the learned Doctor, '-distinguished for acquirements of a very high order," reconcile the word representation with the 17th article in Pope Pius's creed, to which he has bound himself by the most solemn obligation ? Now here are the exact words of that article : do also profess, that in the mass there is offered a true, proper, and propitiatory sacrce for the quick and the dead; and that in the most holy sacrament of the eucharist, there is trully, really, and substantially, the body and blood, tonether with the soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ; and that there is a change made of the whole substance of bread into the body, and of the whole substance of wine into the blood, which change the Catholic Church calls Transubstantiation." There is not a word or sentiment in this article which favours the doctrine of "representation." What ought the people of Leeds to think of a man who would dare to assert, in the face of open day, and in the presence of a crowded congregation, what he knew to be false, and in violation of the vela creed which, as a Romish priest, he is sworn to uphold ? On the evening of the same day, another of the Fra ternity, "the Rev.J. WALKER, of Scarborough,"preach ed in the same chapel, on Matthew, xxviii. 19. Like Dr. DROMGOOLE, of Catholic Board notoriety, he "pre dicted the downfall of the Establishment;" and hesi tated not to say, that "the termination of the existence of the Protestant Church could not long be delayed." All this was to be expected: but what will the Pusey ities say to the following passage ?—" He congratulat ed his brethern, and the Catholic body at large, on the dispersion of the mist of error which had so long pre vailed, and eulogised the Oxford divines for their manly conduct in coming forward to establish the truth as it existed in the Catholic faith." We have often canvassed the opinions of the "Oxford divines," and exercised the severity of criticism in dealing with their religious tenets; but the strongest expression of dis approbation which we have ever uttered, is less severe than the praise which the Priest of Scarborough bestows on a body of men whose " Tracts for the Times" are virtually and essentially tracts for the dissemination of Popery. The clergy and the people of England have need to be on the alert, and to take alarm at the state of their religious atmosphere. They are beset, in every direction, by a priesthood determined to instil the poison of their inventions wherever they can get a footing; while, at the same time, there issue from the new Vatican at . Oxford, "tracts" in accordance with the religious opinions of Romanism, and written by men who pledged themselves in the most solemn man ner, at their ordination, to "be. ready with all faithful diligence to banish and drive away all erroneous and strange doctrines, . contrary to God's word." M uc h more might be said on this painful subject, but our limits no not permit its to enlarge. THE AMERICAN BANKING SYSTEM. ( From the John Bull. ) The exposures which the Times makes periodically of the "corrupt system of American banking," are lhoubtless very gratifying to such of our readers as are in the habit of seeing that journal, and who have most poi - Jet - I,v 4un frorp joyesipg any of their property to be gambled with by the "rotten and swindling pa per-money manufactories" of the United States. We avail ourselves of one passage from the Times of Wednesday last, as an introduction to a few brief ob• servations of our own on this subject. After showing the nefarious conduct of a particular hank, our straight forward contemporary most justly tars all the banks with the same brush—thus: "Enough has already transpired to account for the strenuous opposition of the larger proportion of the United States banks to the resumption of specie payment, as well as to the extraordinary unanimity with which they all (700 of them) in one day agreed to stop payment and defraud _their rreciitars.-111..eyjagni gerieraLmtung.-__ Lion can be accompliShed yet, and no really wholesome • state of a sound currency established, without a tho rough reform of this most corrul:t system of American banking, and a clear sweep out of those rotten and swindling paper-money manufactories as we base noted, and vast numbers (ALL) of others of the same sort, but of much higher pretensions." There is but one drawback on the merits of these words : they are, we fear, uttered too late. The Bank of England, in spite of all our warnings on this momentous subject, and in spite of her own experi ence, during and since the late " crisis," has increased her modes of implication and involvements with those " rotten and swindling paper-money m anufactories." For the behoof of the Bank of England—not on her own account so much as on account of the nation which reposed confidence in her —we, on the 4th of .Septem ber, 1836, wrote thus:— " The Times says the Bank of England is in a false pos ition. We deny the fact. She is in a right position now. She is refusing to discount the bills of A. B. in London, be cause those bills represent the same transactions as the bills of C. D. already discounted at New York, and with British capital too. She is refusing to discount the bills of E. F. in London, because they represent the same transactions as the bills of G. H. all eady discounted by the joint Banks through out the country, whose only capital is—DEBT." Why do we now repeat these words ? Because we know the same practices are being repeated; and we also know that those practices are being repeated, not only to bolster up the price of cotton, but—oh, shame to human nature!—to enlurnce the price of core. But the practices we speak of with regard to cotton being must germane to the matter in hind, we'will confine ourselves to these, and call into court a witness the Bank of England little dreams of; and we trust the result will be a separation, as far as possible, of all her interests from those of the " rotten and swindling paper-money manufactories" of the United States. Every merchant on either side of the Atlantic, not bitten by the gambling mania of the day, has for nrny months been disgusted, first by the " wild specula tions" in cotton of the spurious bank of Philadelphia, and second, by the details tittered on this subject by the agent in London throng,' the columns of the Morning Chronicle, and which agent has, by name, avowed himself in the columns of Biddle's paper in New York. We have now before us two letters, published at two different periods in the New . York Courier and Enquirer, and which letters are evidently the produc tion of the man whom no one can mistake. In the first letter he says,— ' " At the period of the panic of 1836, the Bank of the United States displayed so folly the effects of its credit in Europe, and, by the issue of a large amount of bonds, so substantially added to the means of carrying on the mercantile transactions on both sides of the Atlantic, that the popularity of the insti tution has since become extremely high with all parties con nected either directly or indirectly with the American trade." After this pleasant avowal of the prostrate depend ency of the "mercantile transactions on both sides of the Atlantic," on the " bonds" and " credit" of a bank trading under a false cognomen in Philadelphia, and one-third of the whole of whose original but lost capi tal belongs to Britons, the writer tells us—our readers will smile—that the Times is the "only exception" among newspapers which does not bend the knee to old Nick Biddle. The writer's words are these : " The only exception to these opinions would appear to be on the part of the Times newspaper—a journal of great cir culation and power unquestionably—but which, for almost two whole years, has been daily putting forth the strangest and wildest accounts of the Bank of the United States. Amongst other objections which the Times is continually raising against the institution, is on the ground of what it calls the enormous cotton purchases of the agents of Mr. Biddle's Bank;' and as the limes reiterates this statement on the authority of one of your contemporaries of New York, it may be well to assure your readers, and the readers of those journals by whom the articles of the Times are reciprocally copied, that the most unqualified contradiction of this state ment has here been put forth by Mr . . Jaudon, who, in the columns of another London journal, has announced that not one pound of cotton ever has been bought by the Bank of the United States.'" That the mistake about the Times being the "only exception," is not the only mistake in the above pass age, we entreat the reader's attention to a passage in the second letter we have spoken of, and from the same writer. On the late occasion his words are these: — "Again, it was not insinuated, but broadly asserted. by the same journal, in its columns of yesterday, that the Bank of the United States was`insolvent'—a stupidity which is answered by the facts that, besides that abundant supply of specie which appears in the returns of the Bank, there is in England alone, as known to every merchant in Liverpool, a stock of cotton little under 50,000 bales, held by the agents of the Bank, and which could be sold, in case of pressure, fur a sum of probably £600,000, but which, for souse time past, the parties have not only shown no symptoms of compulsion to make sales, but have, on the other hand, supported the mar ket in the most marked manner, by afistaining from sales, and have, indeed, been principally instrumental- in effecting the late rise in the price of cotton, and giving that animation to the market which exists at the present time." We will not weaken any one of the facts in this mat ter by any more commentary, further than to observe that the nation which breeds slaves to perpetuate such a system as those facts develope, and the;nation which transports children for stealing cotton pocket. handker chiefs, ought, as both nations doubtless will, hereafter meet with their just reward- NHIG- RADICAL HINTS TO THE LANDOWNERS (From the Sun, Friday.) "A formidable anti•corn-law association has been formed at Manchester, the provisional committee of which consists of 70 members, among whom are to be found some of the first spinners, calico-printers, &c., in the town and neighbourhood. John Benjamin Smith, Esq., one of tl:e magistrates of Lancashire, is treasurer, and the society has already commenced its proceedings by inviting Mr. Paulton, of Bolton, to lecture at Man chester. We have already noticed this gentleman's beneficial labours, and we are glad to learn that they have given as much satisfaction at Manchester as at. Bolton. His lecture yesterday week, at Manchester, was atended, we are informed, by at least 1,000 per sons; and it is worthy of notice by the landowners, that those parts of his lecture which - most bitterly con demned them were received with the most heartyappro bation. The application for tickets to attend his next lecture have been so numerous that it has been found not possible to grant them all. The Manchester asso ciation, therefore, have wisely proposed, as one of their first operations, to engage Mr. Paulton to lec ture on the subject of the corn laws in all the large towns of England during the winter. If they succeed in that, we are assured, from the applause he has re ceived at Bolton and Manchester, that the flame he will kindle in the north will not only destroy the corn laws, but scorch the landowners. Let them look to this in time. They have no hold on the affections of the country , . They are of no use in society. Their depen dents and the agricultural labourers hate them almost as much as do the manufacturing labourers. They are now deservedly branded as a selfish, cruel, and unjust race of men, who sacrifice the interests of the public, and starve the labourers, for their own advantage ; and if they persist in such an unrighteous course of proceed ing—if they obstinately support the Devil's laws. they can only expect severe and condign punishment." DREADFUL FIIIE AND LOSS OF LIFE AT TAMWORTII, STA FFORDSHIRE. — Tamworth, Nov. 2.—About a quarter to four o'clock this morning the quiet town of Tamworth was alarmed by a cry of fire. It was found that the interior of the Castle HoteL was in flames, and the inmates screaming for assistance. Mr. and Mrs. Webb, the landlord and landlady, with the mother of the latter, escaped by a ladder from one of. the windows, when, from some fatal ru mour, there was a cry that all the inmates were out. This turned alt exertions to extinguishing the fire, and near an hour elapsed ere doubts arose of the safety of all; and a lad der being secured to one of the upper windows, five of the young women servants were found locked in each other's arms, on the floor, in the sleep of death ! They were let down from the window, when every exertion was used by the sur geon in attendance; but the vital spark had fled. On the tire being somewhat got uuder, the bar-maid was found dead on the stairs, much burnt, thus making the number of six who have thus awfully met their death. PORTUGUESE PROVISIONS AND PRICES.—Of the fruits which are purchased in Oporto, and indeed wherever we travelled in Portugal, it may be remarked that the peaches I T large, but greatly inferior in flavour to the produce of our English walls, and the pears are good for nothing; but the mains are everywhere fine and cheap, as are the grapes, which, of the small black cluster kind, are most delicious, and have often proved a great addition to our breakfast fare. he apples and plums are very inferior in flavour to ours. Bread is very fair in quality, and reasonable in price. The beef at Oporto is also not to be complained of, but the mutton is small and inferior. In the provinces, what was served up to us tinder the name of mutton, we believe to have been kid's flesh; and upon one occasion, on which our trusty attendant produced, as a great rarity, a " beef cutlet"—we think it was at Leira—it suffered greatly in comparison with the good English beef-steak, of which, alas ! but the memory re mained to us. While on the subject of provisions, we may add that the wine of the provinces, and indeed that drunk by the lower classes geneially, is execrable ; it is what is termed green wine, and somewhat resembles our small beer.—Jen ning's Landscape Annual. A BLACK GHOST ON THE LONDON ANo BIN MINGH AM RAILWAY. — For some time past the policemen and naviga tors employed on the London and Birmingham railroad, near the central station at Wolverton, have been dreadfully alarmed by the appearance of a supernatural figure gliding np and down the tine, at more than railroad velocity, enve loped in a cloud of white smoke instead of steam. This figure. which resembles a man of colour, is supposed by the super stitious and terrified workmen to be no other than the ghost of a gigantic black, designated Black Shag, and who, about two months since, was buried alive by the falling in of a quantity of earth at a place called Sandy Hole. The body of Black Shag was got out, and buried in Wolverton church yard. Since that time his ghost has been exceedingly trou blesome. Sometimes he has appeared to the excavators when engaged at mining any dangerous part of the road, with a huge pair of horns on his head, and as black as soot; and, after capering about in the most mysterious and awful manner, would exclaim, "'rake warning by my fate," and immediately vanish. At other times he is seen bearing the resemblance of a tall black, and gliding along the road with amazing velocity, choosing the "witching hour of night" for his extraordinary pranks. Several policemen, as well as ex cavators, have been so terrified by the ghost of Black Shag, that they have thrown up their employment, and one man lies now in an alarming state of illness at the above village, from the shock he received at seeing this ray§terioile Visitor, who is the talk of the whole ueighhourhood, LIVERPOOL MECHANICS' INSTITUTION LECTURES ON ASTRONOMY. On Wednesday evening, Mr. Wallis delivered the third lecture of his course. The theatre was crowded to excess. If the earth were a spherical body, we should have no pre cession of the equinoxes, or recession of the equinoctial points, although we might have the obliquity of the ecliptic; and without the obliquity. of the ecliptic, however oblate the earth might be, no such result could happen. In astrono mical calculations we begin our reckoning upon the ecliptic from the point where the vernal equinox takes place, which we call the first point in Aries; but as this point varies every year, and in seventy-two years is one degree different, it could not be marked upon the globe. W believer the sun .44141--irriuou not—in the--equinox-- -ci ufusa stti rice which. • happens with the sun only twice a year, and with the moon only twice a montb,—they - act obliquely upon the mass of matter around the 'equator, and attract it towards them, and thus prevent the earth from having its axis exactly parallel to itself. By this means two annual periods are constituted, viz. the tropical, when the year of seasons is completed, and the sidereal year, when the 355 days are completed.—[This Mr. Wallis illustrated by means of models of the earth and sun on the whirling table, as Well as by a beautiful skeleton globe hung on gymhals.] It is thus the overbalancing of the accumulated matter in the tropical regions, as produced by the attraction of the sun and the moon, whenever they are out of the equinox, that produces the effect of the precession of the equinoxes. When the precession is in one direction, the recession is in the contrary. Owing to this, our pole star is constantly changing its place. In about 12,000 years from the present time, the bright star in _Lyra will be our polar star, so that in 25,000 years the earth will complete a revolution of this kind. and ~r course during such a revolution the north pole will be successively transferred to all the stars which lie within a circle of 27 degrees in diameter. With the exception of the sun, the moon is to us the most important, as well as tke most beautiful, of all the heavenly bodies, and the one with whose nature and properties we are the best acquainted. It is, in fact, a very near neighbour to us. As the moon is 2,110 miles in diameter, and the sun, which appears of the same size, is 214 times removed from her, the sun must be 111 times the diameter of the earth. So distant are the celestial bodies from one another, that until we have ascertained satisfactorily to our minds by tri gonometrical observations, we cannot conceive their Inag,ni tude and value in the universe. The sun must be an im mense bo3y-, hut there can exist no doubt in the mind of an astronomer, that there are a hundred of millions of bodies of equal importance and magnitude with our sun. We call the moon a secondary planet, because she is a satellite of the earth; but those planets which move more directly around the sun, we call primary. In every instance, the satellites or attendant planets are incomparably smaller than the bodies around which they revolve. The earth does not go round the moon, our the moon round the earth, but each revolve round the centre of gravity, which is as much nearer to the earth as that planet is heaVier than are moon. 'Fhe moon appears of different magnitudes to us at different pe riods; consequently she is at various distances from us. While we observe this variation of magnitude, we also ob serve a variation in the rate of motiou. If we notice the moon with great care, we shall. observe that our objects in crease more rapidly at one time than another, in the same ponion of time, and that when she appears least her motion is slowest, and vice versa. The moon is in Perigee, or at the least distance from the earth, twice in a month; and in Apogee, or at the greatest distance, twice during the same period. As the moon is a dark body, she is only visible to us when enlightened by the sun, and in consequence presents a number of phases, as more or less of her illuminated disc is presented to our view. _ _ 11Ir. Wallis then illustrated and explained the theory of eclipses of the sun and moon, by means of his splendid orre ries, which are certainly the most extensive and well arranged of any that we have yet seen in Liverpool. WATER DRINKERS.—There is a curious passage in one of Dr. Franklin's letters, in regard to wine; he pleasantly ob serves, that the only animals created to drink water are those who from, their conformation are able to lap it on the face of the earth, whereas all those who can carry their hands to their mouth were destined to enjoy the juice of the grape. Musical, TREE.—In the neighbourhood of St. Quentin stood a remarkable tree, from whose roots dull sounds were frequently heard to issue. It had excited much surprise and alarm among the inhabitants of Nauroy, and the circumja cent parishes; but the mystery is now unravelled. The en chanted tree is a very strong beech, at the summit of which two branches crossed each other in such a manner, that when the wind blew, a vibration took place, which resounded as far as the roots. By order of the mayor, the axe has de stroyed the charm, and imparted tranquility to many a troubled spirit. DISTANCE OF THE STARS.- -The 19th century is remarkable for triumphs of science, enterprise, and perseverance, over great and acknowledged difficulties, and for the solutions of problems, practical and theoretical. To the discoveries of the north-west passage, the course of the Niger. the cause of magnetism, the mechanism of light, &c. we have now to add another—the parrallax of the fixed stars. This magnificent conquest has, we understand, been achieved by Professor Bessel, of Kouigsburg, in a series of observations of the double star, No. 61, iu the constellation Cyngnus, whose distance he has ascertained to be 660,000 times (in round numbers) the radius of the earth's orbit, or (also in round numbers) 62,700,000,0110,000 miles. The details of this im portant discovery have been communicated by him to some of his astronomical friends in this country, and will, no doubt, he speedily before the public.—Athenecurh. EXTRAORDINARY PRESERVATION OF A HUMAN BODY.-- On the 15th June, 1832, Captain Mead and his clerk, of the steamboat Homer, both died of cholera, and were buried side by side in Louisiana, fifteen miles below Natchez. By the caving in of the bank of the river in February, 1836, three years and eight months afterwards, the coffins became ex posed and the gentleman who owned the plantation had them removed back out of the way of the river. The very yreat disparity in the weight of the coffins suggested the cu riosity of opening them. The one known to contain the body of the clerk, by its being smaller than the other, was found to contain little else than the bones, the grave clothes, &c., being in a state of the most perfect decay. But the body of Capt. Mead was found to be in every respect as full, sound, and undecayed as when he was buried. It had every appear ance, as well to the eye as by. handling the limbs, of a body recently deceased. The `crave clothes, winding sheet, &c. were also as sound as they ever were. His coffin was of cy press plank, such as is generally used, and both bodies were interred about three feet below the surface. The circum stance is unaccounted for by our informant, but no fact can he better authenticated than this is, in every particular as we have stated it.—Notches Courier. WEST INDIAN " STOREKEEPERS."—Avery exalted sta tion is held by the tradesmen of the different islands, or, as I should mores properly term them, - the .lorekeepers;. for it would be an affront of the deepest (lye to designate their shops by other than the epithet of store. Many of these gentlemen possess sugar estates; have heavy mortgages. on must of the properties; arc slave-owners, and consequently, in every sense of the word, planters as well as tradesmen. These are, indeed, men of might; all the ready money of the colonies is in their possession; and one word Lam them would imprison half the settlements. They and their clerks constitute chiefly the exquisites of the West Indies; for them sigh the love-sick Creoles, for them manoeuvre the match-making mammas. They are the stewards of every ball, the setters of every fashion, "the observed of all ob servers." A stranger, unaware of the importance of these characters, is not a little surprised on entering for the first time one of the stores, and purchasing an article at a tithe of the suns originally demanded, to receive an invitation to din ner, in terms protecting and condescending, from the not very cleanly nor particularly honest personage behind the counter. Unhappy man, if he exhibit astonishnient, or fail to acknowledge with gratitude the attention ! A cartel would be the inevitable result; for these gentry are mighty puncti lious in points of honour ; and, notwithstanding their sur charges and uncouthness of appearance, the shopmen stan& ing behind the counter are nobles of the land, perhaps bearing tire high-sounding rank of the Hon. Charles Suuar- Cane, member of his Majesty's council; or Lieutenant- General Molasses, Commandant of the Royal Plantation Hussars. So it is: in the shops of the West Indies arc to be found more honourables titan ever attended a levee at Saint - James's; and fete garrison towns i n E ng l an d co uld a ;officers as are occasionally to b e seen tippling i ay t so J a manymes' s in the rum-shops of Barbadoes and Trinidad.—Hudgson's Truths from the West Indies. TAKING CROCODILES. --The fishermen in. pursuit ''of the crocodile look for him in shallow parts, where some spots of the land project, with chann el s of water running between. find the crocodile ba s ki ng on th e l an d. the canoe, he retires into th e w a ter, but little distance; and by pa ddli ng s l ow ly goesol In s i u h( c )en h tp a or c ( e am s cv htehr of yr on, and carefully observing the motion of the weeds and air bubbles that escape from his lungs, they soon discover where he is. They then fix loosely, on the handle of a long paddle, a strong barbed harpoon-iron, which is, joined by a rope to the paddle ; and, putting the harpoon gently down, find where the animal is. He is very sluggish, and does not move when they touch his side; su that they draw up the in strument, and thrust it into his back without any dexterity. The animal &truces a good deal, but nev er a tt ac k s th e canoe , which one stroke of his tail would instautly send to the hot tom. He often, however, shakes out the harpoon after which be neither seems to have an increase of ferocity our sbynes, but allows himself, as in the instance I saw, to be struck a second and third time, antil he is secured and dragged on shore. He there flounces and snaps with his horrid jaws in a violent and dangerous manner; but a large bamboo being thrust into his mouth, he bites with such violence that he cannot readily disengage his teeth, and gives the people time to secure the gag by trine a rope round his jaws. He is then helpless. In the one which I saw caught, a ball tired through his head from a small fowling-piece instantly de prived him of motion; nor did he show almost any sign of sensation, when, immediately afterwards, the harpoon was torn from his back. On the whole, the crocodile seems to be a stupid animal, and to make but a poor iesistance, consider ing his great power, and the tremendous force of ,tail, jaws, and teeth, with which he is provided. The hardness usually attributed to his skin will appear, from the above account, to have been very much exaggerated. I have seen the croco dile, however, move with very great velocity; and have no doubt that, in the pursuit of fish, it uses great exertions of this kind ; nor does it seem to be entirely destitute of cun ning, as crocodiles have been repeatedly found lurking in the fords of rivers through which high roads pass. Of this. in-- deed, I saw one instance, and am assured that it is not un common.—Montgomery Martin's Eastern India. THE THEATRICAL PROVESSION. — " Does no other pro. fession occur to you, which a young man of your figure could take up easily, a,nd see the world to advantage in ?" asked the manager.—" No," said Nicholas, shaking his head.—" Why, then, I'll tell you one," said Mr. Crummles, throwing his pipe into the tire, and raising his voice. " The stage." "The stage !" cried Nicholas, in a voice almost as loud.— "'The theatrical profession," said Mr. Vincent Crummles. " I am in the theatrical profession myself, my wife is in the theatrical profession, my children are in the theatrical pro fession. 1 bad a dog that lived and died in it from a puppy ; and my chaise-pony goes on in Thnour the Tartar. I'll bring you out, and your friend too. Say the word. - I want a novelty."—" I don't know any thing about it," re joined Nicholas, whose breath had been almost taken away by this sudden proposal. " I never acted a part in my life, except at school."—" There's genteel comedy in your walk and manner, juvenile tregedy us your eye, and touch-and-go farce in your laugh," said Mr. Vincent Crummles. " You'll do as well as it you had thought of nothing else but the lamps, from your birch downwards."—Nicholas thought of the small amount of small change there would remain in his pocket after paying the tavern bill, and he hesitated.—" You can be useful to us in a hundred ways," said Mr. Crummles. " Think what capital bills a man of your education could write for the shop-windows."—" Well, I think I could manage that department," said Nicholas.—" To be sure you could," replied Mr. Crummles. "For further particulars see small hand-hills —we might hare half a volume in every One of them. Pieces too ; why, you could write us a piece to bring out the whole strength of the company, whenever we wanted one." "I am not quite so confident about that," re plied Nicholas. " But I dare say I could scribble some thing now and then that would suit you."—" Well, we'll have a new show-piece directly, said the manager. " Let me see—peculiar resources of this establishment—new and splendid scenery—you must manage to introduce a real pump and two washing tubs.,'—"lnto the piece said Nicholas.—" Yes," replied the manager. " I bought 'em cheap at a sale the other day ; and they'll come in admirably. That's the London plan. They look up some dresses, and properties, and have a piece written to fit them. Most of the theatres keep an author on purpose."—" Indeed !" cried Nicholas.—" Oh yes," said the manager; "a common thing. It'll look very well in the bill in separate lines—Real pump! —Splendid tubol,rPreat attraptieu l"—Nicholas No, 7, ,i.bipptng Entatiatntr. FRIDAY, Nov. 2.
