Hunger and thirst seem bound together by natu ral ties so strong, that it were unnatural to sever them by any interval of cruel divorce in writing about them • so we betake ourselves to the few remarks upon Dinner and Dinner-time, which we have to offer, in all sub mission to the feelings, wants, capacities, and habits of the different classes of society ; all of whom, if setting out on our pedestrian's pilgrimage, will then and thereby become obnoxious to the operation of the common laws of exhaustion, and consequent need for replenishing. The valetudinarian, the epicure, the fashionable ligant, the student, the tradesman, will here, after a few hours' good walking and cheer,ul conversation by the way, gradually find themselves growing hungry after the turn of the day; especially if they have, whilst making a tolerably good breakfast even on our much-commended cocoa, been still alive to the fact, that it is best to take " light food before the journey, and more substantial after;" that is, light refers to quantity, not quality— the " qualitative and quantitive analysis" of food being a system of combined scientific research, by general con sent reserved for the hour of dining we opine. It is not well to drive dinner too late. Though cir cumstances must often be allowed to have the principal meal under their sway, rendering dinner hour elastic, yet where it is practicable the middle of the afternoon, about three or four o'clock, is best. This may generally be contrived beforehand, by so planning the day's work as that some decent " hostelry" may be holding out its in viting emblems about this period of your performance ; in case, however, you shoula be a denizen of some far-off and barren waste, where the chances of obtaining re freshment at all before nightfall are down at zero, then we presume that your olfactory nerves presciently dis covering the same calamitous state of things, wilt adver tise you not to leave the last hospita' le auarters without exercising the sagacious forethought of stowing away some sandwiches (whether plain meat, or anchovy paste between respectable folds of bread and butter, as is the fashion in the present day, deponent saith not.) The hour we name is a little in advance of our Latin pre scriptio❑ lately recited ; and the old Romans who con quered this fair land might have chosen to vote for the arrival of sunset, before proceedi g to such grave eoings as dinner always supposes : but really we must desert antique, though illustrious exemplars, when our modern stomachs grow rebellious, and in hollow ventriloquial murmurs utter the scholastic adage, " Necessitas non habet legem ;" (necessity has no law :) especially when we the stomach have generously undertaken to "get up the steam" for all the rapid locomotions or the body, and all the sparkling creations of the brain, you can do no less than, in order to these ends, duly to cater " fuel" for our gastronomic boiler ! A dinner of plain animal food is the best, without many sauces or partaking of made up dishes. The main part of the day's excursion will have been accomplished, and only a few miles afterwards should be attempted to close the day's enjoyment. After the first process of diges tion Is pretty well over, usually occupying about an hour after the repast, the body, ilnotover fatigued, is usually dis posed for a little further rambling— if also the party be in tolerable health—half a dozen miles will be done at nearly, if not at quite the same smart pace as previously. Such forms a pleasant division of the day's allotted task, and is by no means prejudicial. Whilst matters of a substantial class are occupying some necessary time in preparing, comfort will be con sulted by a grateful solution of the face and hands from the dust, &c. ; and the recital of a stave out of " C'roker's Legends of Killarney" will not diminish the appetite of our travellers whilst the courses are rrmoving, though that be fast evanishing in the glancing sheen of knives and forks. Fa her Cuddy sang for entertainment to his assembled friends the following, with mirth in his eye and melody n his tongue " Clumn pulchra sunt ova Cum alba et nova In stabulo suite legit ter, Et a argery bella Qum festiva plena!

First, in order to convince any wilful or heedless reader, if theic be such, who may peruse these page 4, (and for none more than fur them are these " hints " written,) that the subject has been one of earnest, cautious entreaty from the lips of experience • we shall open our own and en zhtened retLction remarks by quoting those of other people, qualified to express that opinion from actual experience, even Col. Shaw says, as referring to a more than ourselves grave matter whc•rein the temptation to transgress is never stronger, because a gratification is associated with an urgent and imperative necessity,—" To prevent thirst in h, t weather, nothing is better thin to take a great quantity of fresh butter with your breakfast. Avoid drinking as you would poison; in shoat, drink as little as possible of anything, and do not give way to the first sensation of thirst. I should strongly recom mend startir g at daybreak, having previously taken breakfast." An old hand at walking remarks—" Be not always tempted by the crystal fountains you may meet with, being yourself warm. Should your thirst be overwhelming, take a mouthful; keep it for some se conds in the mouth, so as to warm it a little before swallowing. Never take irps except in brandy or other spirit, and then only being quite cool yourself." We shall use the liberty of completing the quotation, though it passes on to correlative points; because we have no especial head ill clr which to reduce them precisely. Our contirental friend M. M. goes on to urge —" Drink not anything cold, being hot. Pull not off your clothes when In perspiration, neither sit in draughts of air nor upon moist turf or moss ; but rather, if you must take liquid, make use of a drop of real eve de viP (brandy) or other spirit, because, when the whole body is exces sively heated, any cold beverage suddenly gulped down of gratifying thirst too rapidly in the ea pidly cools down the blood, and c:it cks dangerously the circulation !

A glass of beer, tile, or porter during dinner, along with a couple or three glasses of wine after, where the party prefers to take anything stronger than Adam's ale, will be amply sufficient in reason ; or the wine may be ren dered, according to the dictate of either custom or in validedness, into its equivalent tumbler of spirit and water. For the safe conduct of the person, and purposes of health, as well as from the dictates of good morals, we shall not mind the jeer or laugh which many accustomed to excess in revelling:4 and wine may choose to assail our next quotation, which we shall make in favour of tem perance, from an old-fashioned writer of as-ured high I e re li ef, though not at first na me : " Drink not the third glass:—which thou canst not tame, When once it is within, thee; but. before.

Father Matthew's modern cold alternative is the direct result of Father Cuddy's old fashioned merriment carried to excess, because " extremes meet !" If you have fixed to turn out again into the air, whe ther in cold or warm weather, (though, generally, our observations refer to summer time,) we advise you to use cold water, and not hot, to dilute your spirits or wine, as the hot spirituous potation renders you more obnoxious to catching cold, on the subsidence of the glow which the heat produces. Our recomtnendati-n may be disre garded by many, but those who follow it will find them selves the best off. Along - with cold water, and in great moderation, as to the dose of spirits, we believe that such as a singe glass of brandy and water is innocent of many counts of the indictment foraged up by the teetotal ad vocatt s ! Our rea?ers will perceive that our plan is to avoid sanctioning either extremes, of stimulating drinks, or ab sti,,ence unmitigated in its rigorous exaction i and the following will serve to rectify any mistaken views travel lers may take of the temperance moderation ; or of our own recommendations thereof.

During his [the victor's] convalescence, inquiries were frequently made of him as to the mode in which the fight was managed; and he accordingly gave the following cu rious account, as nearly as the writer can remember:— " When the door %las closed," said he, " we were sur rounded by the most profound darkness. It seemed for some moments to confound the senses, and be close to my eyes. During the three minutes allowed before the battle might begin, my principal aim was to get away from my antagonist into another part of the room, with out his knowledge, and to stand there by the wall until, perhaps, he should make some movement, by the sound of which I could be directed in my attack. The crowd outside was as still as death. I held my breath, and treading so lightly that I could not hear my own footfalls, I stole away towards that side of the room on which I entered. Whether he had calculated that I should natu rally do so, and had therefore taken the same direction, nobody can now tell ; hut no sooner had I stood still to listen for him, than 1 found he was somewhere about me —I could hear his breathing. With the greatest caution and silence, I hastened to another part, expecting every moment either that he would run against me, or I against him. And in this kind of manteuvring, sometimes to get away, and sometimes to approach, if I fancied, though why I know not, that an advantage might be gained, the greatest part of the silent half hour you speak of was spent. • " At length, having safely reached the opposite side, stood still, resolved not to move again until he either ap proached, having perhaps found me out, or by some means or other 1 could discover his position in the room. Hav ing now got beyond his reach, I felt that to be motionless on my part was the wisest step, and calculated that his passion and fury would soon lead him on to the exhibition of less caution. Nothing of the kind occurred, and yet the first ball discharged was mine. A mouse could have been heard to stir; but we were perfectly lost to each other. " Eventually, whether my eyes had become more ac commodated to the blackness, or from whatever cause, but true enough it is, I perceived a pair of eyes on the other side nearly opposite me. They shone like those of a hyena in the night. I fired instantly, and rushed for ward. The flash shewed me the colonel crouched down against the wall, and must equally have directed him to me. He fired as he advanced, but missed. We were almost close together. The empty pistols were thrown down, and the knives used. He rushed on with great ferocity, and tried to grapple with me, but I slipped out of his arms ; and for an instant, being quite separated, both stood still, listening for the place of the other. I think he must have heard me, for he fired a second ti►re with such effect as you all have seen. Nothing hut his knife now remained ; I had knife and pistol. We were so close together, that he was upon me almost as soon as his pistol-hill. The latter staggered me a little at the moment, but I met him with the knife, and from that time we never separated again. My otject was to keep him from closing upon me, until I could he as certain as darkness would permit of using my last ball to advantage. In consequence of that, 1 retreated in various ways, both still fiditing. sometimes on the open floor, and sometimes knocking ourselves with violence against the wall. " I was growing faint. I found my strength failing. and then I fired my second pistol. The light instantane ously made, sheaved both men redder than the Indian in the field of battle. 1 heard that he staggered. and rushed with all my strength upon him.

AN OLD MAN WHOSE FATHER LIVED IN THE TIME OF OLIVER CROMWELL. (From the Manchester Guardian ) Having beard of the extraordinary circumstance of an old man, named James Horrocks, in his hundredth year, living in Harwood, about three miles from Bolton, whose father lived in the time of Oliver Cromwell, we took an opportunity a few davit ago, of visiting this venerable descendant of a sire who was contemporary with the re nowned Protector. Here we found the old man, sur rounded with every cowfort, which easy circumstances and affectionate friends can afford, arid to use his own language, " neither tired of living, nor yet afraid to die." He is a remarkably good looking old man, with long sil very lucks, and a countenance beaming with benevolence and good nature. He his nearly lost the use of his eye sight, and is a little dull of hearing ; yet he is enabled to a alk about. On observing to him that he must have been a tall man in his youth, he sprang up from his arm chair, with the elasticity of middle age, rather than eecrepitude. A short time ago, on corning down stairs in the morning, he observed to his daughter, with his accustomed good humour and buoyancy of spirit, " I wonder what I shall dream next; 1 dreamt last night that 1 was going to be married again ; and who knows but I could find somebody that would have me yet." His son--in-law is an old grey headed man, much harder of hearing than himself ; and it frequently happens, that when any of the family are endeavouring to explain any thing to him, old James will say, " Stop, and I'll incense him ;" and his lungs seldom tail in the undertaking. From this interesting family we learn, that William Horrocks,.the father of the present James, of whom we have been speaking, was born in 1657, four years after Oliver Cromwell was declared protector, and one year before his death. He would he two years old when Ri chard Cromwell, who succeeded his father, resigned ; and four years old when Charles 11. was crowned in 1661. The exact period of his first marriage we have not been able to ascertain ; but it is certain that his bride was em ployed as nurse in the well-known family of the Cheet hams, either at Turton Tower, or at Castleton Hall, near Rochdale. By this marriage he had four children, as ap pears from memorandums, written in an excellent hand in the back of an old black letter Bible, printed in 1583. At what time his wife died, we are also unable to ascer tain; but there is no doubt that he remained a widower for many years, and at length married his housekeeper, a comely, blooming young woman, whose kitidne-s to the old man was unremitting, and he married her in 1741, at the age of 84, she being at the time only 26. This marriage evidently attracted touch attention in the neighbourhood, and we find that, about two years after wards, the old man and his youthful partner were sent for to Castleton Hall, the residence of a branch of Hum piny Cheetham's family, where they were treated with great kindness, and a portrait painter engaged to take their likenes-es, which are now in the possession of their son, and add much to the interest of a visit to him. These portraits are well executed ; and, of course, appeared ra ther like those of a grandfather and his grandchild than of husband and wife, although lieappears more like 60 than 86. In front of each p..inting is prominently in scribed the age of each of the parties, and the date when the portrait was taken. Uip.n that of the husband the inscription is. "'ETA : 86 -1743." Arid npon 'hat of the wile, " lETA : 98 —1743." These, it appears, were taken two year= alter their marriage, and preserved in the Cheethain family at Castleton I tall, as great curiosities. In the following year. the pre-ent James was horn, as appears from the following entry on the back of the same old Bible:—'• James. the son of William and Elizabeth Hotrocks, of Bradshaw Chapel, was born Match 14th, 1714." The old man wag only eleven years old when his father died, anti la. no recollection of hearing him mention any remarkah e event recurring in his life time. As all instance of the health and vigour of this remark able old man, it may be mentioned, that ten years ago, in ' the winter of 18323. he attended at Newton to vote for Lord Molynentc, then a candidate for South Lancashire. Hr was then in his ninetieth year. He walked from Har wood 10 Briton, a distance of three miles. From thence he went to Newton by the raik ay ; and. having voted, he by some means rois•ed the train, and walked to Bolton, a distance of fifteen miles. On arriving there be took some refreshment, and again sent out for Harwood, and accomplished the distance of 21 miles in the day, in the depth of winter ! ANECDOTE 6F SIR WALTER SCOTT.—It is related of Sir Walter • ca't, that not long before his " Lay of the Last Min- trel made its appearanc , while crossing the Frith or Forth in a ferry-boat with a friend. any pro posed to begule the time by writing a number of verses on a given subject, and at the end of an hour's poring and hard stndv, the product of Sir Walter (then Mr.) Scott's I rtile brain. adding thereto the labour of his friend, was Ix lines. " It's plain." said Scott to his fellow-labourer. then unconscious of his great powers, "that you and I n ed not think of getting our living by writing poetry." INDIAN CUSTOMS. —These Indians have many remark able customs. Before undertaking a war, their w rriors fir forty days in a solitary cabin constructed of hark. Doring this period, they eat barely sufficient to keep themselves alive. They also sacrifice dogs ; and having tied the dead bodies to trees about six feet above the eround, they proceed to paint the noses and stomachs of the victims with a deep red colour. They co n sult pro phets, who are provided with sacred utensils, denomina ted medicine hags ; and which contain the skins of " shunks," with other precious articles. When the war riors return from their fast, the people make a great feast on dogs which have been fattened for the occasion. None but men are allowed to attend. At the appointed hour, the warriors may be seen travelling to the rendezvous ; each carrying, with great solemnity, his wooden bowl and wooden spoon. At the house appointed for the feast, the dead dogs are in readiness, together with a profusion of boiled Indian corn and beans. My host was present on one of these occasions, and took particular notice of the ceremonies. Some of the warriors began by cutting the dogs into equal portions, which they placed in a large iron kettle over a fire, and boiled for about half an hour. The remainder of the guests reclined upon mats on both sides of the house, while the fire burned briskly at the centre, the smoke escaping through an opening in the roof. The corn and hems were placed all round the room ii, wooden 'dishes upon the ground. The deg meat being sufficiently boiled, the pieces were taken out, and every eer,on pre sent received his share. A distinguished " brave" now arose, and made a speech ; after which, a second stood up and repeated the monosyllable " ugh." At this signal, all began to ear ; holding the pieces of canine flesh in their hands without knives or forks, and devouring with all their might. This feast on dogs is considered a sort of penance. Whoever swallows the whole of his portion is called a big brave; while those who are made sick by it, are de nominated squaws. The men of this tribe enjoy them selves exceedingly at their villages during the wirver, visiting one another with great sociability. All the hard work devolves upon the women, who cult down trees for firewood, make the fires, and minister like slaves to the comfort and luxury of their lords. These Indians, not withstanding their neglect of the squaws, have many courteous and gentlemanly habits. They have no profane word in their vocabulary, and the most abusive words employed by them are liar, rascal, hog, and squaw. They, however, catch with facility the profane expressions of the whites, which they use with great readiness, an .I without understanding their signification. Thus, they will often employ an oath as a friendly salutation ; and, while kindly shaking hands with a friend, will curse him in cheerful and pleasant tones of voice.— The Cilg of lhe Mormons; or, Three Days at Nauvoo. FARMINI IN VAN DIEMEN'S LAND.—" What system of farming," said I, " do they follow most in this coun try?" " System? Bless you, you don't suppose they follow any system here. The way they go on is quite disgusting to me ; they know no more of farming than a Londoner. They don't know how to grow anything." "No wheat?" " Yes, they do grow wheat—such as it is." " Barley?" " Yes ; barley." " Oats ?" " Not seen much oats; however. I believe they can grow." " Potatoes? " "Oh ! plenty of potatoes." " Vegeta bles?—cabbages, peas, beans, and such like? " " Yes ; I can't say but they can grow 'em ; but they're too large to please me, and I'm sure they grow too quick ; besides, it stands to reason that things can't grow properly with the soil just disturbed as it 's done here. A man in my country would be ashamed to call it digging. And then to see what they call a field of wheat! I call it a field of stumps And where there's no stumps they don't do much better. They just put the plough once through it, and there lies the sod turned up with the grass growing on it ; and, then a weaver chap, or a London pickpocket, comes with the seed in a bag, and oh, my eves, how I tughed 1 he flings it about as if he was feeding the chickens; and then another chap comes with a large branch of a tree, drawn by a couple of o. en, and he sweeps the grain about, and that they call harrowing! and when that's done they just leave it." " And what becomes of it ?" " Oh, first the cockatoos get a good bellyful, and then the parrots and magpies have a peck at it. But it com es up at l ast. " " Well, that's some thing." " Yes, maybe ; hut it oughtn't to come up done in that slovenly way. Its a shame to waste good seed so. And then. when they do get a hit of hued a little— no, not in order, but—out of disorder, fitly they do work eh ,. ie sr g very be when erzit, dear me ! What d o you t hi n k a sort of cockney chap said to me at Pitt. watei, f or / ' ye b een over there? Says I to him, • F r ie n d,' says I,liw often do y ou l et your land lie f a ll ow i n t h ese parts ? ' Fallow,' s a y s h e , ' w h at ' s that?' ' You 're a pretty c h ap to be a farmer,' said I. ' not to k now w h at l y i ng fallow means. Why, lying fallow m eans l ett i ng t h e land rest a hit to recover itself for another crop.' Oh,' says be, our land in thi s p l ace never lies f a ll ow , as you call i t ; we just put the same c fo r r o p e everyi le n ven year . years. vv h , ` There —that eraetT havetl t fieldyou hadhas ti grown e wh cruelty,' wheat said 1, 4 t o put w h eat on that bit of land for eleven years?' To be sur e I h ave, ' sa i d he, and shall gr ow w h eat on i t for eleven y ears l onger, if I live.' Master, you might have knocked me down with a. feather; I never b efore heard anythi ng so h orr i d. I felt sure at once that no good was to b e done -in a count r y w h ere creatures harrow with bran c h es o f trees, and treat their land so cruelly. But it .was worse t h an that when I came to look more into it.

Would any Christian far..er In. England treat his land so? Why, it 's against nature!" I now began to 'understand the sort of matt I hail to deal with ;1, one of , those obstinate sons of the suit who cannot be made to understand that it is possible to ruirry on farming in any other way than the way which they have been accustomed to ; and whose prejudices against innovation are so strong, that they will not believe in the truth of what they see with their own eves, arid wring everything from its true bearing to the backing tip of their own notions.,-Tale, of the Colonies; or, the Advent vres of an Emi.grant.
