Voctrp. THE MARINERS. (From B'ackwood's Magazine.) Mile we the yard and ply the oar, The breeze is calling us swift away; The waters are breaking in foam on the shore; Our boat no more can stay, can stay. When the blast flies fast in the clouds on high, And billows are roaring loud below, The boatman's song, in the stormy sky, Still dares the breeze to blow, to blow. The timber th•rt frames his faithful boat, Was dandled in storms on the mountain peaks, And in storms, with a bounding keel, 'twill float, And laugh when the sea-fiend shrieks, and shrieks. And then in the calm and glistening nights 'We have tales of wonder, and joy, and fear, And deeds of the powerful ocean sprites, With which our hearts we cheer, we cheer. For often the dauntless mariner knows That he must sink to the ;and beneath, Wherethe diamond on trees of coral grows, In the emerald halls ordeath, of death. Onward we sweep through smooth and storm . ; We. are voyagers all in.shine orgloom; And the dreamer who skulks by his chimney warm, Drifts in his sleep to doom, to doom. LITERARY NOTICES.

CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE ROXBURGHSHIRE ELECTION. ( From the Leeds Intelliyeneer.) At each of the two elections for Roxburgbshire pre ceding the last contest, riots of the most vitilent and dis gradeful character have taken place at the town of Ha *ick.,"one of the polling places for the county; The vo fersin the tory interest have been abused and ill-treated by the mob, and when threats and intimidation proved ineffectual, open violence was resorted to, to deter them from the exercise of their franchise. Practices such as flieSe, unless checked at once by the strong arm o f th e law, are wont to gather strength from impunity, and to increase in atrocity. Accordingly, long before the poll ing took place at the last election, indeed as soon as the canvass commenced, very intelligible Symptbini of a re currence of riotous proceedings . were evinced. The or• dinark peace-officers were, of course, nseleis, and a body of special constables were sworn in by the magistrates to assist them. Shortly before the election; the mob in creased in numbers and in daring, and the special con stables were quite unable to hold them in cheek: In this State of things application was made in writing to the Lord AdVoCate, with whom the power of granting the aid of the military rests, for the assistance of tire sol diers in preserving the peace of the town, and protect ing the voters in going to the poll: The application was refuSed, and the clay of election arrived.. Riot, as had been foreseen, succeeded riot ; the ' tory voters were pelted,. beaten, their clothes torn from their backs, and themselves thrown into the river; her Majesty's mail was even stopped and ransacked for voters; those who intended voting for Mr. Scott were forcibly prevented from going to the poll, and those who bad prnmised not to vote were compelled to poll for Mr. Elliott. in fact it was not until the government party themselves thought that the rioting had got to such a pitch that the election must be rendered void by its con tinuance that my Lord Minto, a cabinet minister and the father of Mr. Elliott, the whig radical candidate, in terfered to suppress the disturbance and to protect the tories from further injury. • We do not state these facts from hearsay evidence or P - artial accounts of what took „place; the rioters have been convicted and punished, and upon their trials and before the committee now sitting to inquire into the va lidity of the election, all we have stated, and more, has been proved. 1 Mr. Elliott having been returned, a petition was pre sented praying the house to declare the election void, and the ballot for a committee to try the merits of that petition took place last week. The public will not have forgotten the htiblmb that *as kicked up both in and out of ParliaMent, When Sir Francis Bartlett subscribed £2O in aid of the fund raised in support of twenty Irish petitions, nor will the ground upon which the hon. baronet was attacked have escaped recollection. What ! a person who may be 'a judge upon One or more of these very' petitions subscribing to sup port theta! Monstrous! exclaithed the whiff radical party without St. Stephen's. Monstrous! echoed those within, and my Lord John Russell did his possible to strangle the subscription, and to deter the tories from petitioning by threatening to suspend the Grenville act. Various were the authorities quoted to show that a man Ought not to be a judge in his own cause ; authorities which Were not and never could be disputed, but which unluckily had nothing to do with the question, because a person who subscribes to support a petition is not a party to the cause. BUt conduct, whi c h w h en on l y i mp ut e d to a tory i s most atrocious, may be actually perpetrated with impu nity —nay, is even praiseworthy, on the part of a: ‘‘ li. beral" member; and accordingly we find the " liberal" tort Advocate, the Attornev-General for Scotland, the very person charged by the petition and by the petition ers' counsel with culpable negligence in withholding the assistance of the :military when the occasion for their services was manifest; in other words, the party but for Whose neglect of duty or something worse, the peace would have been p reserv ed a t Hawick—freedom of'elea- Gun secured, the voters protected from outrage, and all necessity for the petition prevented, —yes, reader, we find this very functionary occupying the chair of the committee sworn to try the merits of the petition and' the validity of the Rokburgh election. The election is impugned on the grOund of riot, and a party charged in the petition and by counsel at the bar of the committee_ with having neglected, after proper application, to use the means placed by the law at his disposal to prevent, riot is thus made the principal judge in his own cause and "upon his own Conduct, 'and 'be reftises to receive in evidence the very written requisition made to himself fur aid. Little did the honourable and learned gentleman's party think when they poured forth the torrents of their' wrath upon Sir F. Burdett, that the whole stream would alight upon the devoted head of their own Lord Advo ' elite: If Sir John Dudley Catripbell, the ScOteh Attor ney- . General for England, has a blush left, we bespeakiit in behalf of his own twin-brother, and we entreat the .leamed,gentleman when next he quotes Coke upon this _subject, not to forget that it was laid doWn by that ' learriedlord, that " it is not safe for any man (be he 'n( vei So Teartietjj_tx t „te of 'counsel with himself in his own - catise,s4alice - h.kvice of other great and learn id men—for.ri .arrzit ' pr io more foolish in their ovin. coudiart ' iiiittc h s'e - otter people.- 7. ....

Ti,( famous "appropriation clause" has been carried, three or four times over, in the House of Counn'ons, by majo rities of above 300. Yet the "appropriation clause" is dead and buried, and no one cares to disturb its bones. The ministerial church-rate scheMe• was 'carried. last year by 257 votes against 232. It was supported also— which the ballot wilt never be—bi , upwards of two thou sand petitions. And vet, where is that scheme now ? So much for the notion that every folly which can unite the 200 radicals and radical-whips of the House of Commons in its support, must, therefore soon pass. into a law. If the fact were so, the predicament of the Bri tish nation would indeed be a pitiable one. But there are two or three circumst ances connected with the late division, which it does not suit the purposes of the Chro hicle or OlObe to notice, but which go to' prove the case of the"ballot to be altOgetber hopeles;: The numbers in favour of, and against; the ballot, in cluding tellers and pairs, were 203 and 320.

It is in England. in the late English elections, that the necessity for the ballot is said to have been especially evinced. • A rapid and considerable in crease of support in Englonct, was, therefore; to be looked for. Now, what has been the acivaace made on either side, in the late division ? The facts are these— VOTES OF EIiGLISFI MEMBEaS. 18:1/ ] 838 hicreate.

Ding may they aboirnd in such. prOsPet ity I The hopes of the ballot, then, 'a§ of all other mischicifs; rest solely on'the votes of th e Scotch and Irish radicals, and e , .pecially - of the Irish O'Connellites.. • • The object of the linter class is suflicientli obvious; yet it was most indiscreet of Air. Grote, by his reference to the!" Irish Petition Fund," to attract attention - to it. He argded that as the subscribers to that fund had complained of intimidation in Irish elections, they niust of course be advocates for the ballot. Now it is .one of the strongest arguments against the ballot, that in Ireland, where the worst sort of intimidation prevails, Mr. Grote's panacea would•be wholly inefficacious in touching the evil ; or rather, that it Would remove the least objectionable sort of intimidation, and - leave•the worst still in full force. Intimidation in Ireland is complained of in two di rections. The O'Connellites complain that the land lords coerce their tenants; the Protes!ant landlords complain that their tenants are compelled to vote against them by the menaces of the pries Zs. Now the ballot would certainly Put an end to all landlord-influence; but it would leave the power of the priests wholly un touched. • So long as a man remains a Romanist, so long must he believe that it is necessary for his soul's health to throw himself, at stated periods, before his priest, and to disclose t'o him every thought, word, and action. And equally most he believe, till he casts off the thraldom' of that debasing cieed, that his salvation is in jeopardy till the priest's "Absolva te" is granted. What, then, can the ballot do for this man ? He is, beyond all comparison, the:mo s t enthralled of all vot ers; in fact, his Vole is in the actual poOession of his priest. •Yet this, the grand imperfection of the electoral system in: Ireland, is left untouched by the'propositiOn of Mr. Grote, while th e coun t erac ti ng p o w e r of the influence of a good landlord is wholly withdrawn and annihilated. The Whole . sCheme, then; goes to augment the already enormous power of the priests; and it is, therefore, per fectly natural, that it should receive the-strongest sup port from the priest's nominees in the House of Com mons.

About half-past nine o'clock, on Thursday morning, one o the steam engine boilers propelling the machinery of a mill in Newbridge-lane, in the occupation of Messrs Fernley and Wil sons, burst with a tremendous explosion, carrying with it the roof of the the house, driving in the windows of the card, throstle, and blowing rooms opposite, and damaging and forc ing the walls.and machinery. of the mill in all directions. The gable end is about ten yards from the boiler; yet such was the force of the concussion, that a carding engine, weighing up wards of half a ton, was driven to the other end of the room, and in its course breaking down nearly all the machinery. Burning embers fell amongst and fired a quantity of cotton in the blowing-room; but any extension of the flames was quickly prevented, and without the aid of the engines, although they were immediately on the spot after the 'alarm of fire had been given. The principal portion of the windows, even on the Other side of the mill, were broken and shattered. All the machinery was.at work, and many of the work-people have been. more or less scalded and injured by the instantaneous collision of 'the machinery. The engineer, who was supposed to be near the boiler when the accident happened, is very seriously 'scalded.' 'The 'catfse of the explosion has not transpired; but .We are.told on the"e•rimild that it was from insufficiency of water.

LIVERPOOL MECIiANICS• INSTITUTION, LECTURES ON PHYSIOLOGY. On Wednesday:evening, Dr. Epps d'eliyered his fifth lecture; to au audience more numerous, it possible, than any which we have previously seen at his lectures. •The stomach - ties in contact with the liver, spleen, and street=- bread It forms. one continuous tube with the intestines, eioot times the length of (he human body. These intestines are of different foims, and have - different duties 'to perform, therefore; • they are designated by different names. The food is lodged iu the stomach by an orifice called the, cardiac, because it is nett the heart. The orifice by which it leaves the stomach is called the pyloric. There are some practical facts connected with this, outlet of the highest importance. Many persons when they lake • food immediately vomit it. in such cases we find, after opening the body on death, that there is a blush cf redness about the cardiac entrance, and a scientific man is enabled to afford a remedy to this disease. The stomach is on the left side of the body, it extends towards the right site, and terminates at .voliat is called the pit of the stomach. The stomach of an adult will hold three-and-a-half pints. It is a bag made up of four coats or series of skins. The outer coat is a beautifully soft skin, which by continually pouring out a moisture enables the stomach to mole easily. Underneath this we have a fleshy coat which enables the stomach to contract upon its food. The third coat. binds them all together. The inside coat is a velvetty kind of coat, and arranged in fOldi so that it may spread out a large surface. We may see in tripe the appearance whickitpresents. The inner coat of the stomach. has a peculiar body connected with it. The stomach is supplied with an immense quantity of blood.; perhaps, excepting the brain, there is no 'moan which is supplied with so much. In nature, whenever a great quantity of blood goes to any part, that organ has important datyto per form. 'The stomacli is the source of the Iv eatest mass of enjoy ment which our physical nature is capable cf receiving in this terrestrial sphere. The stomach is supplied with nerves, which give it the powers of feeling and of motion. When we consider how much digestion is dependent upon the condition of nor miuds we. can easily see how intimately our minds and stomachs ; are connected. 11 ,we take the stomach of a calf and soak it in water, we get a peculiar fluid called tennet r , by which we get curds and whey. Curds and whey are produeed by macerating the stomach of a calf in warm water, which is capable of coagu lating milk ; that is to say, separating the coagulable pak of milk from that which is not coagulable. . Rennet could be made from the.human stomach as weft as from any oilier. This fluid we call gastiic juice in the human stomach. The oastric juice is supplied from the blood vessels which are distributed all over the stomac', and when it mixes with the fond it converts it into what is called chyme, End this process is called cOrmilication. Our food is in this maniserconve.'ted into chyme, which is alsoft poultice-l'ke jelly, in about three hours; tnernoil of infants takes only half an hour in going though the process, Dr. Young look 7 ;:sins of the gastric juice of a colt; and found that after it had been mioed with water that it was sufficient to coagulate 6857 pints of milk, This shovvsi he power of gastric juice. We frequently find infants throwing up from their sioinachscordled milk. This is healthy: the milk has been curdled iiv the gas tric juice, and the-stomach being overloaded relieves itself by evacuating its contents. The most extraordinary property of gastric juice - is its power of - dissolving what e v e r is sutttvittpd to its acting; we are chiefly indebted to the mouk,Spallaozani for the kuow ledge which we possess relative to the solycot pie, gastric juice. He used to roal:e slol!P globyies, dod o ving fitledthern with meal, to let them down into the stomachs of birds, and in an hour, when he withdrew them, he that the food was dissolved.. tie also lei down into their so o naet t s a Quantity orsoonee, aod after it.had become saturated with gas tric juice he vvitOdiew it, and he round that when withdrawn from the bride it had the same poWer of dissOlviojanitral food as when it was in the body. A youno man, a Canadian, bad received a gun-soot wound in his stomach. A Dr. Beaumont pasted a tube into his stomach, and' brought oat a mointity of the gastric juice, which he found was capattie of dissolving food Much faster, however. woen it was hut that when it was coif. The gastric jUice - of gran;vorous'a will not dissolve flesh, nor that of eatniYorous animal. vegetables. 1 hese lack teach us.that the mac is a o u t who pasts at once from animal to vegetable diet, or rice tern. A man should remember that he has a stomach, and that it is under the itillueneeorhabit, which will not submit at once to a g o ea, change. . Because one man cannot enjoy the good thino or ,life in moderation, and another man can, why should the latter be required to forego his pleasure'becausn the fortnercannot place a proper restraint, upon his desires. The gas - tric juice has an antiseptic power. Dr. Beaumont kept a piece aver)! in gastric juice for a month, and at the eoriration of that time it was quite sweet. This pro perty which it has, purifies any food woich we eat, however tainted it may be when we eat it. When the food comes int o contact with the g as t r i c j u i ce th ose portions which are nearest the stomach are more abundantly supplied vii;h it than those in the centre, the consequeuye is, were thereno means o.:bringing the central mass into contact, the food would be indigestea. There is, however, in the stomach an action. dependent upon its third c, af t which is called the peristaltic motion_ that produces an efiect similar to that of stirring up tea yt ith a spoon. Masti cation is pf gieat imoortaoce, tithe! wise our stomachs would have to perform the work left undone lay our teeth. The diges tive apparatus of a cow is more intricate than that of a man theY have four stomachs, we have only one. A cow eats her food first, then she browes. The food gets from stomach No. 1 into stomach No. 2; from this the cow brings it up into her mouth, and chews it over again, and this is what we call chewing the cud. After this the food gets into th e s t omac h i s o. 3, flour which it ooes, into No. 4. By this time the food is so far digesied as to fit it - fur going into the intestines. We ate omnivorous animals, but our forefathers vale eat vegetable food. It is a fact that all herbs are ditricult-of digestion. The gizzard of a fowl is its stomach. - In it we :and a number of stones; 'wise stones are fur the purpose of grinding toe food when it goes into gizzard from the •crop. It the had not the power of grind- ' ing its food it would starve in the midst of plenty. • Those birds which feed on animal food hate not a Touob but a smooth one. The Ostr:ch swallows nails, large stones, and other similar monstrosities, for the purpose of enabling it to grind its food. .In 11190.1 of the crab tribe there are teeth in-the stomach to grind the fond. It is a well 1,:0..wn tact that the Americans are dyspeptic because they bolt their food. The , eat.it too Fa, , being only intent upon mal:iog dollars. . An Antavican sinks in at the pit of the stomach, which arises fr•ito dyspepsia; au Enszlishman has, on the coat cat y, a glorious minuet]. - We now come to consider toe pyloric valve. This is the valve which, as we have he;o•e stated, allows lbe food to pass from the stoinach into the intestoies. This valve is one of the most extraordinary valves, and its duty is to allow nothing to • pass which is not property converted into chyle. Alt seasoned meats, such as ham, are cot»parativelv iudiiestible substances, and ought to be well masticated before they are swallowed. It may be asked how it, is that ham is so indigestible. whilst pen knives are allowed to pass the pyloric valve. The valve in every case attempts to do its duty, and it is not until repeated eWorts have been made that the pjoknife is allowed to pass ; therefore of this valve it cannot be said, 'c c'll l piemier pot qui code. However, for this a very slum.; stomach is required. Many persons feel chilly after dinner, and take a little brandy and water to warm them. This chilliness alises from persons haYing taken too tnOi'h dinner, anti, is consenuerice, the circu iation goes from the centre of the body to the stomach, to assist in the digestion, whereby the centre of the body gets cold. Persons go to the fire and diaw the blued froM thestornach, and get the dvspensia, and go to the doctor; in short, almost all the fees of Medical Men are derived from poisons who violate the organic laws. Many persons have been killed by blows upon the stomach after thee have takett the foird. There is an 0 1 . d adage to the following t ffect Afier dinner sit a while, Arter supper run a mile. The lecturer could not understand the meaning of the latter line, hut as the adage oritinated at o::',Ord, at a tune when there was no are, it probably was in older to 14.4 warm befwe go.ng to bed. The former line is easily undeis.ood, because,ly work ing, we send the blood into the lungs, and weaken the trerun's energy, by which the digestion of the food is carried on. The best experiment for proving ibis was that of John Hunter. He took two dogs, and gave them the same goantity of food. One of these dogs he took out with him, and the other he left on the the dog Which had b een l e f t on the rug rug. When he r e t urne d h e kil le d b ot h d ogs, an d f oun d ;h a t had digested its food, whilst the dog whi c h h e b a d taken out with him had not digest ed it at all. Many p ersons are killed be not allowing the i r f on d time to digest. The 11l anc h ester peo p le show the i r sense b y dining at one o'clock. In London they dine at are, when the System is in a debilitated state. We ougiit to rise early, break fast early, dine early, and retie to bed early. At one o'clock you may see dinner writ.en on every face in Mancliester..and it is a most delightful thinv, to witness the an:;ietv betrayed by each individual at dinner-iiine. . It is a most important thing to know when to wean a child. ,Many women who suckle their children , for a loog time feet pains in the ride; their children become emaciated and un well. It is a fact, that when the four first teeth are perfectly ;developed, it is time to give up suckling. Between the eighth and fifteenth months all these teeth are developed, and it is time to give up suckliog. - No ch;ftl should be f e d unit it . has got teeth - , and then its food should approximated to the nature of its mother's mi!k, and be given first twice a day, and by degrees oftener. Arrow-toot is not the best thing to give theta. 'There are naanv mothers who cannot suckle their own children, and in this case, it is necessary to know this fact, that the qualify of the female milk is continually al,ering. When he child is born it is weak, and it gals sironger in proportion as the child advances in age. For this reason a wet nurse should always be chosen whose child was born at the same period as that which she is reeuired to nurse, otbetwise the health and growth of the child will be injured. This leads us to the fact, that when old people lose their teeth, they should live as children do, in which case they would live to a much longer age than they do. But they are too fOnd of flavoured meats, and will- not go hack to the food of their infancy. If persous neglect the hours at which they take their food, in process of time every thing they eat turns sour upon their stomach, and they are troubled with flatu lency, If we overload our stomachs we get dyspepsia, a.nd then perceive that we were intended to eat a certain quantity, and to enjoy it in moderation. Napoleon died of an ulcer •in the' stomach, the cause of which was his great mental anxiety, and. the little time he took for digesting his food. The lecturer had known many merchants in London cured of dyspepsia in this' simple way. One merchant had been ill of the disease for six teen years. The lecturer found that when he want to anew re sidence be was always well for about two months. after. The fact was, that for that period the road was new to him, and it prevented him from falling into a train of ars:cious thought`; but that at the end of that period, however interesting the scenery, be became 'so wrapt up in his own ideas that he passed along without observing it. Dr. Epps completely cured him by caus ing hiin to change his residence once in two months. Some time ago, when travelling was not so easy as it-is at present, and persons had to make their wills before 'they went a moder- ate journey, a doctor is London, who had. long .been troubled with a patient afflicted. with this complaint, told him, that be would undertake his recovery if he would undergo and consult a Dr. Suthet land at Inverness. The patient set off accoldingiy, and after arriving there. had the mortification to find, that , no. Dr. Sutherland lived at Inverness. Boiling with rage, he called ..upon his medical man, when he returned, to upbraid him'with his tteatment. It is needless to say tliat the journey - quite cured him, and that when the Doctor explained,. the patient was,satis tied. Indeed it is far cheaper to pay, one guinea or two to the -coach °dice than to the doctor, because by it you get renewed , health. Doctors recommend their patients to go to some.wa tering,-place, in order to get them away from their business. Then they rise at six in the morning instead of nine; they take a large quantity of the,chalytteate waters before breakfast, eat a hearty breakfast, and, by a similar sort of exercise end diet, soon perceive 'a manifest improvement in health. If a person were to take care of his stomach, he might .enjoy health in the town as well as in the country, by taking occasional trips into, the country, . 'There are many persons who feel pain when the food has been in. their stomach three betas. This arises front a stoppage Of, the pyloric valve, and then those persons ought to go to their medical Man, as., if neglected,. ulceration frequently, ensues. If a than wishes to live a long life aud,a happy ,one, he should spread out his lungs by speaking, and should allow his children to do the same. The noise which children make is their play, and the more children expand their lungs, the more perfectly will the, blood circulate through them, and the snore vigorous will be the entire system.

Since Saturday last there have arrived from Ireland 13,000 qrs. of Wheat, 18,000 qrs of Oats, 10,000 sacks of Flour, and 21,000 loads of Oatmeal. Large, however, as the supplies have been, and notwith standing the continued stoppage of the interior navigation, we have to note a decided improvement in the trade generally, with advanced prices for most of the chief articles of consumption. At yesterday's market 8s 2d was paid for choice and 8s per 701bs for good runs of Irish red Wheat, being 3d to 4d per bushel above our quotations at the close of last week, and our, millers, haying become bare of stock, were anxious buyers : most of the fide Wheat offering was secured, how ever, by speculators, who alsd purchased - of Oats to the mtent of at least 35,000 or 40,000 bushels : 2s 8d to 2s led per 451bs were the cur rent rates for this grain, more than could be obtained on Tuesday.— Full prices' were paid for Flour, and Oatmeal brought an advance of 6d per load.—No variation was made in the quotations of either Bar ley, Beans, or Peas.—A pared of low Russian Wheai, in bond, has been sold at 3s 10,1 per 7ulbs, and about 1,500 barrels of U.S. sour Flour have changed hands at 25s to 25s 6d per 1861bs.
