What glorious form bursts on the astonished sight, Robed in the brightest splendours of the sky? 'Tis Faith, whose gaze, fixed on the true and. right, Steadfast, the world's tempt4tions can defy. And who is she, whose mild, yet enger eye Looks to heaven's mansions of eternal "est, While from her heart escapes the wishful sigh? 'Tis Hope, fair charmer of the troubled breast.

Liverpool Standard.) There are the four cardinals to be made to-day in the Sis tine Chapel, all the Rite will be there. You must ,go in full dress, you must present your ticket, and, passidg the scrutiny, you will enter the sanctum sanctorum of eccle siastical elegance, pomp, and dignity. As upon . all great occasions, ladies are only admitted without bonnets, their heads and faces veiled. Did my fair countrriomen know how much of public inferiority and degradation there is inflicted upon them with all the private adulation, prying curiosity, and fulsome insinuations into their most trivial acts, over their thoughts, over their words ! They would pause era they would run from Protestantisth to Puseyism or Romanism. But we are in the Sistine Chapel. There, in glorious shadow, ill-defined, but half made out, is Michael Angelo's Last Judgment. This wondrous work, now so palpably obscure, is intentionally kept so. Michael placed one of the cardinals in hell in his picture of the Last Judgment ; this was enough to exasperate the learned conclave, and to keep is picture in the shade, nevertheless there is enough to command, if not your admiration, your awe ! And now the forty red-hatted, crimson-hosed cardinals enter, passing in solemn state through the silent, august, observing assembly. From underneath the sable veils are heaving bosoms and sparkling eyes, like coals oaf liquid fire. Ambassadors, senators, philosophers, lifstoilans, and poets, are there, all are there, from various parts of the world ; their orders glistening on their breasts, their uniforms making sparkling the otherwise dark monotony of the scene. Again the eunuchs, with their clear, thrill ing, piercing tones, fill the roof with harmony': and each new cardinal, after the mysterious rite is performed, pass ing down the aisle, is kissed on the cheek by his forty brethren, each of hom whispers softly and secretly to the ear of his new brother, some oath, conjuration, charge or admonition : what these several whispers were to each new-hatted cardinal Heaven knows; but I dreamed, or a whisper told me it might be, " Thy hat, thy hose, a: Thou to thy church, Fight even when dvi' T crimson red 1 thy faith art we g, till t t of that dimly-lighted ' Death, judgment, ;mall, crowded, but e, was it to quietly saunter doWn the gigantic proportions of Saint Peter's. But from these alive and new cardinals, let us pass on to the Palazzo Justiniana, where lies in state a dead cardi nal, lat of his race ! What matters that he might have been descended from Justinian, who, by his general, Be lisarius, defeated the Persians, subdued the Goths, anni hilated the Vandals, in the sixth century, although he condensed the 2000 volumes of Roman laws, into his code of 50; built that masterpiece of architecture, St. Sophia's, et' Constantinople, lived to 83, and reigned 39 years as emperor.

B." remarks that it is his opinion that no rain fell before the flood, and starts it by way of an original idea ! I much fear the ancients have long since stolen his thoughts ; for he will find the matter fully contested by Jewish writers, and in later times by Burnet and Whiston, both of whom held that " no rain had fallen before the flood." "B. B." has omitted the principal. argument generally brought forward in support of his theory—namely, the concluding portion of Gen. vii. 11. But I confess it appears to me a thing utterly immaterial whether rain fell before the flood or no ; for in either case the objection of the infidel may be satisfac torily met. Let it be granted that rain had fallen, and that the bow had oftentimes been seen in the skies bear ing upon its fragile arch the heavy masses of clouds above ; what then ? The words, "I do set (or appoint) my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between, me and the earth," would cause it for the future to be looked upon with the same increased degree of interest and veneration with which the Christian beholds the sacramental bread and wine, though familiar with the minion uses of them both : he sees in them the symbol disappearance.—Americtin paper.

HOUSEBREAKING BY FEMALES.—On Saturday night about nine o'clock, Miss Leven, who resides at Meadow' bank, Patrick, on returning from Glasgow, was astonished to see a light in the back part of the premises, when, es she was aware, no person could have gained admission to the house in a legitimate manner. She opened the door , however but she had only g o t a s t e p or t wo w ithi n the lobby, when a girl rushed past her and made her escape' She then alarmed the neighbours, and the house WO looked over, and all was believed to be right ; but Miss Leven's suspicions not being entirely allayed, two hour' afterwards, when about to retire for the night, she began to examine the room, and on lifting up the curtain, there she found another girl hid under the bed. As soon a° practicable, she was sent to the Western Police-office , where some small articles of property, belonging to Mil° Leven, were found in her possession.

THE REV. H. BLUNT ON THE ABOLITION OF CAPITA'', PENALTIES.—" Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by m e shall his bl oo d b e s h e d , f or i n the image of God made He man." Here is an express command of God, which, lik e , marriage and the S a bb a th, an ti c i pated the ceremorda' law, and therefore was certainly not abrogated when that necessarily passed away : and however, in these later times, feeling may overpower obedience, it would be-dif 6 " cult to show a more express or binding obligation than this command conveys :—" Whoso sheddeth man's blood' by man shall his blood be shed." In such cases man ha° but one course—to listen and to obey. It is not for hint to affect more feeling than his Creator. God has corn' manded, and, doubtless, some wise and merciful purpose; though we know it Ro t, h as i nsp i red that command ; a n we are not to inquire why does God order; but what dons_ God order ? Happy the mind that is brought into this state of subordination to the will of the Almighty, tbl upon this, as upon every subject, it requires only to hall that will distinctly pointed out, to listen, to receive, and to obey it. LIBERATION OF A CONVICT. — George Sands, who 1 04 tried at the Lancaster assizes in the early part of last year' for hiring a horse and chaise and subsequently selling them, and failing at the time to prove an alibi, owing t° doubts of the credibility of the witnesses in his favor'' was found guilty and sentenced to ten years' transports' tion.
