SONNET BY THE SKETCHER. THE GLOW-WORM. (From Btacktrood's Magazine for August, 1638.) 0 Gem, more precious than the thrice•tried ore, And jewels that the cavern'd treasuries hold, (For what rare diamond ere did life enfold?) Thee at her bridal hour the chaste Earth wore, When /Ether, her proud bridegroom, came, and o'er Heaven's Archway spread his mantle, gemm'd with gold Of Stars in all their glory manifold— Yet deem'd Earth's bosom still adorned more. ingly unfr call thee corm,thy love ungently name, Some bold Leander with ttiv constant flame, Whose Hellespont may be this running brook. 0 let this wise-man-worm his pride abjure, And his own love be half as bright and pure! FAREWELL TO THE SESSION. (From the Morning Herald.) Farewell to the session—another Half-year of reprieve to Lord John; To think how this, that way, or t'other, His ministry still can go on; How he yet can bamboozle the nation, And the profits of office retain ; Since the old trick of appropriation Can ne'er serve his purpose again. Farewell to the session—'twas funny, Through weeks nearly forty, to see The would-be-wise looks of Lord Johnny, And Spring Rice trying like wise to be; 'Twas funny to list to the latter, When, with voice 'twixt a squeal and a croak, He tried through the budget to patter, Or pump'd up some second-hand joke. Farewell to the session—and farewell To Cupid, well stricken in years, Who, though foreign sec., could not bear well The mention of foreign affairs. Earl pinto farewell—the vacation Will give you some time to attend A few lectures on plain navigation, With some practical trips to Gravesend. Farewell to the session—big Daniel Has sail'd for the " big hill of Howth;" And has ta'en on the voyage Den's manual To teach him to fritter tin oath : Joe Hume sails for Greece, for they owe him A debt which they'll pay him in haste, Their fingers are itching to show him How they reverence his fine classic taste. Farewell to the session—the premier— Bound no more in his place to attend— Has, " smiling before him," a demi-year On subjects more pleasant to spend: A wit, hen vivant, and a lover, He can now in his old course push on - , Flirt, chat, write, pun, get half-seas over, Or arrange a new case of crim. con. Farewell to to the session—but steady : The imp of the Herald cries out That my farewell is too long already, So pa better mind what I'm I had much more to say, but in volumes That much more could scarce be expressed, So in pity, dear sir, to your columns, I'll write " farewell in haste" to the rest. LITERARY NOTICE. Plain Instructions for the Attainment of an Im proved, Complete, and Practical System of Short hand. By T. C Foster, Professional Short-hand Writer, and Reporter for the Liverpool Standard. London : Whittaker and Co. Liverpool: D. Mar pies. This system of short-hand will be found one of the most complete that has been ever issued from the press—indeed, we might say, the most complete. Utility and simplicity are the main objects which the author has kept in view. A perfect mastery of the in structions which Mr. Foster has given will enable any one to take down verbatim the words of the most rapid speaker. Nor is this the only advantage which will accrue from an acquaintance with this system : the cility with which the notes may be afterwards read is a consideration of very great importance. The al phabetic characters have the recommendation of ex treme simplicity. The signs for combinations of let ters, and the arbitraries, or marks for works, will be found highly conducive to expedition in writing. In this department the author has been eminently suc cessful. To ladies or gentlemen who may wish to master the useful art of stenography we can cordially recommend this work, by which a student of ordinary ability, especially if a quick writer, may be enabled in a very short time to take down literal reports of ser mons and speeches. We may add that the profes sional short-hand writer may also derive much instruc tion from this compendium. THE AFFAIRS OF CANADA. ( From the Morning Herald.) The latest accounts from Canada have filled our mi nisterial journals with delight. Lord Durham has been making a tour in Upper Canada ;—he has re ceived sundry congratulary addresses;—he has review ed the troops at Toronto ;—he has given a public din ner to a promiscuous party of English subjects and of Americans ;—and he is, in one word, (if the whig pa pers may be credited) a most popular personage—the very man, in short, whom the emergencies of the times require to preside over our dependencies in North America. Now we never, for our own parts, doubted Lord Durham's fondness for self-exhibition, or his fitness to sustain the style of mock-majesty. His progress has, doubtless, been very grand—his review brilliant— his dinner of the finest quality—and the addresses full of civilities. We are not disposed, moreover, to question Lord Durham's expertness at the game of political conciliation. He will (we are very ready to con cede) conciliate the Canadian traitors, and the ene mies of England in the United States, as effectually as Lord Mulgrave has conciliated the Irish enemies of the English connection. Lord Mulgrave, too, like his brother viceroy, has had his triumphant tours, and ex hibited dazzling military spectacles, and given good dinners, and received flattering addresses. But trea son, unchecked, is at this moment rearing its head in Mr. O'Connell's new Dublin Association , and treason, we fear, is likely to derive fresh energy in Canada from all Lord Durham's movements. The dinner-party of the Canadian viceroy would seem to have been the greatest of his achievements. At that party, out of 200 guests, 50 were citizens of the United States; and after the health of the Queen had been toasted, Lord Durham proposed the health of the President of the United States Now, let us mark the import of these demonstrations. The spot selected by Lord Durham for his military display, and for his public dinner, was on the United States frontier, and in the near neighbourhood of the places chosen by Mr. Van Buren's subjects, or consti tuents, or whatever other title may best describe them, as the scene of their brutal piratical incursion into the dominions of the Queen of England. From that part of the United States the traitors derived their princi pal resources. In that pait of the United States the traitors found co-operation—co-operation, be it re membered, totally unchecked by any counteracting demonstration in favour of the English government. The piracies of the Caroline, the invasion of Navy Island, and the innumerable outrages perpetrated on loyal Canadians at the outbreak of the rebellion, were all planned near the spot where Lord Durham gave his entertainment, and, very probably, by some of Lord Durham's honoured Yankee guests ! What ! were there no loyal Canadians—no men who had stepped forward in the hour of peril, to vindicate Bri tish ascendancy—were there, we ask, no men of that stamp on whom Lord Durham's hospitality might have been exercised, at least as profitably, as on natives of the United States, who are reeking from the perpetra tion of outrages on the subjects of Great Britain To honour the abettors of Mackenzie and his gang is a course of action in the Viceroy of Canada little bet ter adapted to restore tranquillity to that country than would be a tribute of honour rendered to Mackenzie himself. The thing was an insult to the loyal inhabi tants of Upper Canada. And the health of the President of the United States was proposed by Lord Durham immediately after the health of the Queen ! Let it be recollected that the. President of the United States showed himself not un willing to aid the Canadian traitors, by all the safe means at his disposal. He prejudged the case of the Caroline, and demanded reparation for the destruction of that piratical vessel ? He declared himself unable to repress the piracies of his fellow-countrymen ; and he took advantage of the embarrassment of our affairs in Canada, to declare that the time had arrived for de ciding the question of the north-eastern boundary ! As far as he could, in short, without committing him self to a rash course of policy, Mr. Van Buren has recently, as on all former occasions, approved himself the determined enemy of England! Yet the health of Mr. Van Buren was toasted by Lord Durham, im mediately after the health of Queen Victoria! We must be permitted to doubt whether such a aemonstra tion was calculated to strengthen the attachment of the Queen's loyal subjects to the Canadian Viceroy's prin ciples of government. Lord Durham bids fair, in melancholy troth, to be come a mere tool in the hands of Mr. Van Buren. The latter functionary, armed with the whole execu tive of the United States, declared publicly that he could not repress the piratical movements of his coun trymen against the subjects of the Queen of England ! The power of repression therefore vested of necessity in the Governor of Canada—in Lord Durham. And how did he deal with the marauders from the United States, who were captured at Point-au -Pelee? H e • detained them prisoners of war, and sent them back, unpunished, to their nativ e country, thertoßl_an fresh bkr. outrages against British subjec ts ! If M r. ran Bu ren's fellow-subjects were prisone rs of of Van En Buren himself must be the open enemy of gland. These movements in Canada are fitting counterparts to the " conciliatory" movements in Ireland—nay, in England. The Queen's ministers o ff er a very h i gh i ndicial appointment to a man Whom, four years be . fore, they denounced in a speech from the throne as a Public enemy. In acknowledgment of this offer of advancement, Mr. O'Connell immediately organises a scheme for the dismemberment of the empire ! Lord ' Mulgrave too has already given some offence to the Irish friends of the English connection, by publicly entertaining Mr. O'Connell at the Castle ; but his °TdshlP, supp ose,. will soon take a lesson from Lord Durham, and when he shall next regale the men dicant, the toast that may be expected to follow the health of Queen Victoria, will probably be the health of the Pope!

We continue Dr. Grant's lecture of Wednesday week from our last publication. The crustaceous animals are furnished with masticating organs, by which they may seize their food whilst swimming or walking. Their strong mandibles are provided with contri vances similar to those of the large polyopterous insects. The stomach also is near the head of the animal, and is provided with strong teeth. There are four solid lumps in their sto mach to give additional firmness to the teeth, so that a proper grinding action may be carried on. The crustaceous animals are welf provided with a liver. When we examine it we End it to be full of little tubes, being in fact composed of a myriad of them. As the food is intended to undergo masticat►on, the stomach is the best place into which to pour the liquid in tended to assist digestion. The liver, accordingly. pours its secretion into it. The blood is conveyed through the respira tory organs into the heart, from which it is propelled forwards and backwards throughout the whole system. As we ascend upwards in the scale of animals, we find that fewer functions are given to each organ, and the reverse is the case as we de scend to the inferior animals. No less singular than the power by which the arachnidm and crustaceous animals have of reproduction is that of the planaria, for, if they are cut in two, each part will reproduce a portion of its body correspond ing to that part which has been separated, and in this manner the creature will go on multiplying as often as we cut it asunder. The crustaceous animals are the spiders and the scorpions of the deep, for they are organised to consume the living and the dead—the putrid and the fresh. They afford us a whole some nutritious food, yet most of them we know to subsist upon putrid animal matter. Putrid carcases of fish we often find surrounded by a host of crustaceous animals which are partly devouring each other, and partly the fiocculi from the decayed carcases of the fish. They are the very scavengers of the deep. They do not keep to the bottom of the ocean, for every stratum of it teems with crustaceous animals up to its highest surface. Even the very spray itself which is dash ed up by the paddles of our steam-packets has been found to abound with them. On Saturday evening, Dr. Grant delivered his sixth lec ture upon the molluscous animals, previous to the commence ment of which he took a rapid survey of the remarks which be had made in the preceding lectures upon the articulated animals. The moluscous tribe of animals is almost exclusively con fined to the ocean and its precincts, which are peopled with one thousand times more beings than the other portions of the globe. They are generally attached to rocks at the bottom of the sea, and consequently depend upon the ocean to bring their food to them. 1 hey are formed to digest the lowest forms of organic substances which exist in the sea. The de velopment of their nervous system is very remarkable. Their spinal cord is disposed as a ring around the oesophagus, and on this ring we can commonly perceive distinct ganglia. They are therefore called cyclo-gangliated beings. There are classes in which the visual organs are equivocal, and others which present no traces of them. This is because it would be painful for them to see approaching danger, which they could not avoid by any muscular energy. They have a complicated digestive apparatus. We find here, for the first time, as we ascend in the scale of creation frem the monads, an auricle united with a ventricle to assist the action of the heart. In the lower tribe of the molluscous animals there are some which are called acephalous. They have a short sto mach, but no head. The term molluscous has been given to this tribe of animals on account of the softness of their bodies, for when the exterior shell is removed there appears to be no internal skeleton such as we see in the lobster, scorpion, and other animals. These acephalous or headless molluscs com prise two very different groups of animals, of which the one have their shells united with a valve, and the other have a tough. exterior cutaneous covering, in which are two open ings, the one for inward current and the other for an outward. There are a number of different forms of this tunicated animal. We sometimes find an immense number of them aggregated together, of a bright red or a black colour. They cause the currents to pass through their bodies by means of minute vibratile cilia, and thus are enabled to intercept the nutritious matters floating along and use them as food. The bivalved shell fish are called conclifera, on account of there being two pieces of shell upon their back. This shelly co vering is composed of carbonate of lime—is extravascular and laminated. The carbonate of lime is united with animal matter, which gives it toughness ; for when it is deprived of this by means of acids or heat, it presents the appearance of burnt lime, and is used as burnt lime for the purpose of manuring the land, and to serve as mortar. The laminae are always added from within, and form a continued piece over the exterior of the body. The ligament is a very important part. Its natural state is one-half open; when the shells are closed the ligament is on the stretch. When the animal becomes languid the valve opens, and it always dies with the valve opened. It is not in the power of the animal to will that condition which is most fit for respiration, but that which is most unfit for the condition on which life de pends. These conchiferous creatures are important in the economy of nature. They serve as the components of great calcaverous rocks, which sometimes appear to be formed of one description of shell, as if there had been myriads of these creatures in one• locality. Sometimes the upheaving action from balow has raised these shells in a vertical direction. Their situation plainly indicates to the geologist or zoologist that there must have been a great disturbing force to dislo cate them. Nay, in some situations, the volcanic heat has been so intense as to dissolve the shells and convert them into a beautiful limestone, presenting no trace of their origi nal form. We see, therefore, that there may have been vast deposits of shells, which have now assumed the highly crys talline character of primitive limestone. A celebrated French philosopher has attempted to prove that all the lime stones which compose the crust of our globe are due to animal life. During the life of the animal the laminae are firmly united together. They are soft upon their first forma tion, and afterwards crystallize. The oyster lies upon its left side and keeps its right side free. This it can only do in the young state, or by an extraordinary offort when it is old. Those oysters, which contain the pearls, inhabit deep waters, and are found at depths varying from 10 to 30 fathoms. The divers who risk their lives in the eastern climes, where they are produced, descend these depth in quest of them from 40 to 50 times a day. This they are enabled to do by discharg ing from their lungs every portion of carbon. A single oyster sometimes contains so many as 200 pearls. These pearls are but morbid excrescences formed by the mantle in the interior of the shell. When particles of sand gain admittance between the surface of the mantle and the shell, they are painful sourses of irritation to the animal. It cannot push them out; and how is it to get rid of them? The animal is stimulated to a more rapid secretion of calcareous matter, and it coats over the intruders with the same substance which covers the interior of its shell. There are certain worms likewise which bore into their shells for the purpose of con cealment, as well as for the animal matter which they con tain. The animal repairs these apertures, and, in doing so, forms round nodules, which are struck off, and highly es teemed by those engaged in the pearl fishery. The oyster, being fixed to a rock, has no eyes; but the clam, which can move itself by means of its shells, is furnished with organs of vision. Many animals are fixed to the rock by means of a byssus, or beard. In the muscle this is so extremely tough and indigestible, as to occasion some inconvenience in eat ing that animal. We sometimes see that the inhabitants of these bivalve shells have two auricles and a ventricle. This arises from the animal being divided into two portions. N ot only is the auricle divided into two parts, each of which has the same functions, but it suits the form of some of the inha bitants of the bivalve shells to have the ventricle likewise similarly divided. From the earliest periods of history, we find this tribe of animals to have been esteemed on account of the pearls they contain, and our island was once tributary to ancient Rome to a yearly amount of these precious orna ments. At the present day, the shells are used to decorate the persons of our sable brethren, and manufactured in this kingdom into an infinite variety of forms for ornamental and useful purposes. ANOTHER IRISH LION! One of the Irish correspondents of the London newspapers has just discovered "in the romantic woods about Buttevant" what he enthusiastically denominates "the Lion of Ireland!" —totally forgetting in bis ecstasy that Daniel himself is not yet defunct;—but we beg pardon—Daniel is not properly the Lion, but the Dragon of Ireland—the great Dragon of Derrinane ! and far more pestilent even than the great Dragon of Wan tlev which More of More-hall so whimsically demolished. But let us return to the Lion which lies just been "discovered in the romantic woods about Buttevant." This Lion then be it known is not a lion—not a real genuine roaring lion upon four legs—hut a steam-drag upon four wheels; and only hear how ecstatically our contemporary's Irish correspondent describes his discovery of it:— " On approaching Buttevant Castle one is struck with its beautiful and romantic situation. You reach its hospitable entrance through an avenue of evergreens; and perhaps forget in the beauty of the scenery before you (at least so it was with us) that you have come to see a piece of mechanism manufactured there entirely by Irish mechanics. Ire had forgotten; but we were awakened to the object of our visit by a gate opening as we passed the back of the castle, and discovering to our astonished gaze, amidst the din of anvils and the bellows' blast, the lion and its inventor—Sir James Anderson! We were astonished. Though living within twenty miles of Buttevant Castle, we, like the rest of the world; were left almost in ignorance of what he was doing. He (Sir James) worked in silence, and oft, perhaps, in sor row, until his task was done; and ere it was done—to use his own emphatic and most expressive words—' spending two apprenticeships and one fortune in building twenty-nine un successful drags to succeed in the thirtieth !'—Hear this, ye who would persevere not!—hear this !!" "The astonished narrator then goes on to detail the powers this newly discovered drag—hr as he persists in calling it this lion; though as it is evidently a drag, and intended to drag things along the road we do not see why he should not call it a erag-on. He says "We (that's himself) do not profess to be an engineer, but the simplicity of its mechanism is such that a child may see its capability (that's the lion;) and we confess that had we not known the fact, we should have doubted that such exquisite workmanship could have been executed here. (How complimentary to his fine country men !) We (that's himself again) are not boastful, but we can with truth aver that we never saw anything equal to it from the best factories in England. (And no doubt he has seen everything! Neither is it like anything hitherto at tempted, inasmuch as it is a machine to do the work of horses! (There Mr. Hancock of the Mile-end road what do you think of that ?) The vehicle for passengers is to be attached to it. (Like that which some five or six years ago used to ply be tween Waterloo-bridge and Walworth, perhaps.) No noise is heard, no smoke, no unpleasant odour perceived, and the gallant panting steed (that's the lion, alias the dragon) can gallop to his journey's end untired and untiring ! How ad mirable this arrangeinent ! Let us look a little forward and we shall see Bishop Brinkley's prophecy realised —` Sir,' said that eminent divine—' Sir, mark me;—ere long we shall see a pan of coals —yes, sir, a pan of coals, brought to use in place of a feed of oats.' Nobody in stupid old England ever invented such a prophecy as that.) And who can doubt it? On every road the carriages (that's the lions')—our own native turf or coal can be used to boil us into a gallop; and we may almost name the day that we can breakfast in Cork and dine in Dublin !" Nay we shouldn't at all wonder if some day this new Irish lion runs off the hill of Howth with such astonishing velocity that its own impetus will carry it high and dry_ across the Irish channel slap into the heart of Liver pool ! Let the Linerpuddleans look out. "Who in our county, nay in Ireland, is it," concludes the astonished narrator, breaking out into a fine burst of admira tion—" Who in our county, nay in Ireland, is it that will not feel proud, that we 'the despised and look'd down upon,' shall, after all, be the first to give the world one of his great est benefits—that we, 'the wild and untaught Irish,' should have accomplished that with all the talents of our sister na tions have for years and years been unable to overcome? As a nation we should be proud of the accomplishment of so great a good, How much more so should be Sir James An derson, the indiiidual who had done the trood !" And how if it should turn out after all that Sir James An derson is no Irishman at all, but just a cannie Scot ;—a third or fourth descendant of the famous "John Anderson my JO," wha dwelt in Aberfeldie!—Morning Herald.

Bennett, Esq., was our guest for three or four months; and, on one occasion, while conversing on the subject, he expressed a wish to obtain accurate knowledge of the extent to which this cruel system bad prevailed. Three women were sitting in the room at the time, making European garments, under Mrs. W.'s direction; and, 'after replying to Mr. Bennett's inquiries, I said, " I have no doubt but that each of these women have destroyed some of their children." Looking at them with an expression of surprise and incredulity, Mr. B. exclaimed, " Impossible ! such motherly, respectable women could never have been guilty of so great an atrocity."— " Well," I added, " We'll ask them." Addressing the first, I said to her, •' Friend, how many children have you destroyed ?" She was startled at my question„and at first charged me with unkindness, in harrowing up her feelings by bringing the destruction of her babes to her remembrance; but, upon hearing the object of my inquiry, she replied with a faulteriog voice, " I have destroyed. nine ;"—the second, with eyes suffused with tears, said I have destroyed seven ;" and the third informed us that she had destroyed five. Thus three individuals casually selected, had killed one-and-twenty children ! but I am happy to add, that these mothers were, at the time of this conversation, and continued so as long as I knew them, consistent members of the church under my care.— Williams' Missions to the South Seas. MISFORTUNES OF AN HEIR-AT-LAW.—The misfortunes of an heir-at-law, "be it then known to all to whom these pre sents come greeting," commence from the hour of his birth. There is a period in married life when the olive branches begin to thicken, and then, indeed, a child may venture upon its existence, without the fear of being killed with kindness for his trouble; but the birth of a son and heir is a very different matter. The arrival of a Personage of such vast importance is an affair of so much joy, and kicks up so much confusion, that the whole family is in conspiracy against hini. The young gentleman is at once constituted a common centre, round which every thing turns. In the drawing-room, in the nursery, and the servants' hall, there is such a stir made to welcome him into the world that the long odds are decidedly against his artiving either at man's estate or his father's. Every one must dandle him at the risk of breaking his neck; and every one must feed at the risk of choaking him. Prom my earliest recollection to my tenth year, life was a rapid alternation of gorging and of physic; and between the cook and the apothecary, it was a miracle how I escaped poison. 11Iy mother was never satisfied that I was in safety, and that, too, not without good reason; for I certainly was as sickly a brat as ever swallowed pill or powder, so that the physician was in almost daily attendance. While I was crammed at all hours of the day like a pincushion, because the young heir was to be refusednothing, I was nightly supersaturated with cakes, ices, fruit, and wine at the family dinner table by my parents through fondness, by the guests, if not in sheer malice, at least to get rid of my troublesome importunities. Thus primed and loaded for indigestion, and sent to bed to sleep off the consequent fever as I best could, when I shrieked aloud under the horrors of a night-mare dream, the nurses gave use laudanum "to make the darling quiet;" and the doctor followed, as a matter of course, in the morning, with his infernal black dose, to cure at once the disease and the effects of the shrreptitious sleeping drops.—New Monthly Magazine. _ AN IRISH ELECTIONEERING SPEECH; OR A BRILLIANT BIT OF BLARNEY.—Women of Kilshindy ! the feelings of my heart irresistibly impel me to address myself to you.

SUMMARY OF THE EFFF.CT% OF VARIOUS RAILWAYS ON THE AMOUNT OF INTERCOURSE.—By referring to our notes A and B it will be seen that on the Stockton and Darlingtou line the passenger traffic prior to the establishment of the railway, amounted to 4 , 0(X) persons in the year; it now ex ceeds 16,000. On the Bolton line, the average weekly num ber of passengers is 2,500. whereas the number of coach journeys out and in per week, which the railway has super seded, amounted only to twenty-eight, carrying perhaps, on a weekly average, about 28Q or 3-10 persons. On the New castle and Carlisle road, prior to the railway, the whole num ber of persons the public coaches were licensed to carry in a week was 344, or, both wave, 686; now the average daily number of passengers be the railway, for the whole length, namely, 472 miles, is 228, or 1,596 in the week. The num ber of passengers on the Dundee and Newtyle line exceeds, at this time, 50,000 annually; the estimated number of per sans who performed the same journey, previoul to the open ing of the railway, having been 4.000. Previous to the open ing of the railway between Liverpool and Manchester, there were about 400 passengers daily, or 146,000 a-year, travelling between those places by coaches; whereas the present num ber, by railway alone, exceeds 500,000. In foreign countries the results arising from the same cause are equally, if not more, striking. The number of persons who usually passed by the road between Brussels and Antwerp was 75,000 in the year; but since the railroad has been opened from the former place to Malines, it has increased to 500,000; and since it was carried all through to Antwerp, the number has exceeded a million. 'rhe opening of a branch from Malines to Ter monde appears to have added 200,000 to the, latter number; so that the passenger traffic of that railroad, superseding a road traffic of only 75,000 persons, now amounts to 1,200,000. It is remarkable that on this, as on most other railroads, the greater number of passengers are those who travel short dis tances, being as two to one compared with those who go the whole distance. This appears from a statement read by Mr. Loch, before the Statistical Society of Manchester. showing that between April 30th and August 15, 1836, 122,417 persons falned 244,834 short distances; furtherstates. that "nearly ntrhaivefielyletdo and r w ro h ni ole m d a i i s i t n a e u s c . e, one-third of the whole revenue of the railway is derived from travelling to and from Malines, and paying a fare of about 60 centimes, or nearly sixpence sterling." On the same au thority we learn another fact, most deserving of attention in calculating the probable . success of a railway in such a coun try as Ireland, viz.:—that nearly three-fifths of the whole re venue of the company are derived from passengers of the lower clue, paying a very low faro, —Pia Railway Report. THE BEGGAR'S OPER A.—The celebrated policemagistrate, Sir John Fielding, once told Hugh Kelly, the dramatist, on a successful run of the Beggar's Opera, that he expected, in consequence of it, a fresh cargo of highwaymen at his office. Upon Kelly's expressing his surprise at this, Sir John as sured him, that, ever since the first representation of that piece, there - had been, on every successful run, a proportion ate number of highwaymen brought to the office, as would appear by the books any morning he chose to look over them. Kelly did so, and found the observation to be strictly correct. THE MARRIAGE LAW TN RUSSIA.—The marriage law and right of succession, particularly as regards the imperial fa mily, are rigidly enforced in Russia. Constantine was firmly attached, and bad privately united himself, to a lady of great never aspire to the throne. Sensible of thesedislvantageS, but true to the object of his affections, he sacrificed ambition at the shrine of love, preferred a voluntary retirement to the splendour of a crown, and signed the transfer of his claims to a younger brother. At the death of Alexander, when the mutiny broke out among the troops in Petersburg, his name was unfairly made the watchword of revolt; the soldiers were instructed by their leaders to cry out, "Constantine and the constitution." When asked the meaning of this cry, the ignorant and deluded men thought it was " Constan tine and his wife." At that moment, it is said that he wished to avail himself of the impulse; but it was too late, the energy and bravery of Nicholas had decided the day.— Raikes'i City of the Czar. MA HOMMEDAN CEMETERIES.—About half a mile from the the town of Calcutta is an extensive cemetery, pertaining to mussulman community, denominated the " Cossye Bugaun." This spot of ground contains nearly 20 acres, and is beauti fully shaded by aspiring bamboos, lofty and spacious cedars, and other sombre trees, whose dense foliage casts a doleful gloom around this hallowed sanctuary. The tombs and se pulchres of the Mahommedans are, all. of thetri,!so constructed as to admit of a taper being burned in every night—a cus tom which is religiously observed by the surviving rela tives of the deceased parties, with a view to keeping away the carrion beasts. Various tanks are interspersed throughout the cemetery, to admit of those who may attend the funerals of the departed to undergo the ceremony of ablution. In villages remote from large and populous towns, some shaded spot is chosen by them for their funeral obsequies ; generally under the spree - din.' and pensive branches of the tamarind tree, which is regarded in the same light by them as is the yew in this country. Thus in the most quiet and sequestered places the lonesome and contemplative traveller may detect two or more Mahommedan sepulchres which have been erected some hundreds of years, and which, very probably, might contain the dust of men who were mighty in their-day, but who there remain entombed, without a letter or a symbol to denote their distinction. THE MAID OF SARAGOSSA.—Having put. up our horses at a stable in the neighbourhood, we went straight to the house, and Major B—, having informed a domestic that he had business with the senora, we were ushered into an upper apartment, where we awaited her entrance for some minutes. At length the door opened, and a lady of middle stature, but finely proportioned, made her appearance. Her counte nance was of the most pleasing cast, her dark eyes beaming , with expression, her nose slightly arched, and her mouth dis playing, when she spoke or smiled, a row of teeth like po lished ivory, and giving instant animation to her whole coun tenance. Her age did not appear to accord with what a re ference to historic data would attribute.to her; for, though approaching the "mezzo del cammin," the colour on her cheeks, and the lively expression of her features, still arrayed her in the mantle of youth. She received us in the most courteous manner, and conversed for a considerable time with Major B—, who, as my interpreter, alluded to the interest attached to her character in England, and to the fact of her portrait having been drawn, not only by our artists, but by the greatest of our poets; of which she seemed to be aware, but by no means vain, and testified her acknow ledgment of the compliment by a smile of very winning sweetness. It is said she had numerous offers of marriage since her residence at Hernani; but on that point she is in exorable—a determination which enhances the interest of her character, and the universal regard in which she is held. —Varga' s Rambles. EXTRAORDINARY SECT OF FANATICS IN INDIA.—(From the United Service Journal.)—Ever since I have been in In dia, I have heard of a class of Mussulmans, the disciples of a sect or saint, by name Shaikh Ruffai, who, in order to im press the unbelievers with the truth of the Mussulman faith, imparted to his followers the power of plunging swords and daggers into their bodies, cutting off their tongue, frying it, and putting it together again, cutting off the head and limbs, scooping out the eye, and, in truth, doing with their bodies whatever it pleased them to do; all of which Col. G , in company with a clergyman, a Mr. had seen, when the latter grew sick and ran out of the place, declaring it was the power of Satan, which to this day he believes, and the colonel that it is done throtrgh the power of the magic art, at which I, of course, laughed, and declared that, so soon as a man of the regiment (by name Shaikh Kureem, one of these Ruffai) should return from turlough, I would witness the ex hibition.—A large tent was accordingly pitched, and fifty lamps furnished, and plates full of arsenic, and quantities of a plant of the cactus tribe filled with a milky juice, a drop of which, if it fall on your skin, blisters it, and a vast quantity of the common glass bangles, or bracelets, worn by the women, and daggers, and swords, and things like thick steel skewers, and other horrid looking weapons like a butcher's steel, only with a large handle covered with chains, and about taventy Ruffais to beat all manner of drums; and so, when all was ready, about five of the officers left the mess-table with myself, and along with us about a hundred sepoys crowded into the tent. When we were seated, and silence obtained, the work commenced by a sort of chaunt from their sacred books, the drum-beaters joining in and keeping time; the chaunt increased at length both in noise and velocity, until, having worked themselves into an ecstacy, they seized hold of the instrument s , th e b o d y k e pt i n a sor t o f sw i ng i ng MO tion, some plunged the skewer instruments, one through each cheek, another through the tongue, a third through the throat, and then commenced stabbing themselves with swords and' daggers, and all sorts of nasty instruments. Others cut off their tongue, and, having roasted it in the fire, put it in their mouth again, when it immediately united; they ate the blis tering milk-plant and the arsenic, whilst others munched the glass bangles, as though they were the greatest delicacies. This was all done within half a yard of my knees, for they Caine up close to me with many lamps, in order that I might i see there was no d ece pti on; an d I d o as sure you that t made me feel sick, and produced any thing but au agreea‘de sen sation on my mind, for to this moment 1 know not what to think Of it. 1 am not superstitious; and,. although the colonel and numerous most respectable natives had declared to me that they .did actually do these things, and that; if a sense were to be in any manner trusted, they had seen it all done, I would, nevertheless, not believe it. I was told be forehand that it required faith and purity on the part of the performer, and that then not a drop of blood would follow, but that, otherwise, a few drops of blood would sometimes follow the instruments, and the performer would receive some slight injury.—On taking my departure from . the tent I happened to say that I should, at ail events, think more .honourably of their prowess if I saw them exhibited in the face of open day, and divested of noise, motion, parapher nalia, &c. On the following day, whilst reclining on my couch, at about two o'clock, reading an English newspaper, without a servant or a soul near me, in rushed their Kasee (priest or judge,) his hand full of instruments, which, throw ing upon the ground, he seized one, plunged it through his cheek on the left side, another on the right, a third through his tongue upwards, so that it stuck into his nose, another through his throat; he then stabbed himself with a bright and sharp creese, which entered his body about three inches; not a drop of blood fell: he was going to cut off his tongue, when I begged of him to desist: I was, in truth, perfectly nauseated at the sight. The man was in a state of frenzy, and really he looked frightful, his face stuck full of instruments, and stab bing and cutting himself with all his might. I sang out for some people, and turned him out. I have now told you what I have seen, and yet I will not ask you to believe it, for 1 know not myself what to think. There are many persons of very strong minds in other respects who firmly believe, and who do not hesitate to decla re their belief, that, although driven out of Christendom, demonology, witchcraft, necro mancy, and the entire list of black and forbidden arts and powers, are abroad and in full existence in India. And I must declare that I will never again trust my senses if I did not see all that I have told you. I examined the instruments —I saw them drawn out of the flesh, and no scar, or blood, or mark left ; I saw also a man eat and swallow three ounces of arsenic, and crunch and swallow glass bangles innumer able; and yet, although "seeing is believing," I can scarcely say that I believe what before a court of justice I would swear I bad seen. SIAMESE MODE OF DETECTING A THIEF.—Like all igno rant and uneducated people, they are superstitious. With out referring to a belief in ghosts, witchcraft, lucky and un lucky days, this trait is amusingly observed in their mode of detecting a thief. A gentleman, who has been long a resi dent at Bankok, related to the the following anecdote :—An individual lost from his apartment two bars of gold. Imme diately on missing them, all those persons suspected of the theft were called together, and a conjuror summoned to de clare who was the guilty individual. He came provided with several square bars of a metallic appearance, six or seven inches long, and thick as the little finger, which, on exami nation, proved to be a species of clay. He charged each person with the theft, and asked individually whether any among them knew any thing of the gold, and was answered in the negative. He then lighted a small wax candle, and stuck upon each side of it a ticid, obtained from the man who had lest the gold, and, muttering an invocation or spell, took a piece of clay, and three times very ceremoniously raised it above his head. Then measuring it very carefully by the little finger, be broke it into pieces an inch and a half long, and g ave to each suspected person three of them, which they were directed to chew as fast as possible, and prove their in nocence by spitting, when the mastication was complete. All set to work chewing, and soon all were trying to spit; and as upon the success of the effort depends the innocence or guilt of the accused in the opinion of the Siamese, the scene may be readily imagined. In this case there were ten attempting to spit, and at last, after much labour, all suc• ceeded, except a girl of fifteen, who was finally pronounced 'guilty ; and the conjuror, with the candle and tictils, walked off in triumph. The test by clay is so much in favour that, upon this ordeal alone, persons are often heavily ironed, and daily flogged, until they confess, or the stolen property . be returned. In the present instance, the poor girl received only a promise of such treatment, and probably owes her escape altogether to the proverbial faithlessness of the Siamese to their words.—Reschenberger's Narrative. MARCOLiNI—A TALE OF VENICE.— It was midnight; the great clock had struck, and was still echoing through every porch and gallery in the quarter of St. Mark, when a young citizen, wrapped in his cloak, was hastening home from an interview with his mistress. His step was light, for his heart was so. Iler parents had just consented to their marriage, and the very day was named. " Lovely Giulietta !" he cried, " and shall I then call the mine at last ? Who was ever so blessed as thy Marcolini?" But, as he spoke, be stopped; for something was glittering on the pavement before him. It was a scabbard of rich workmanship; and the discovery, what was it but an earnest of good fortune ? " Rest thou there!" he cried, thrusting it gaily into his belt; " if another claims thee not, thou halt changed masters!" And on he went as before, humming the burden of a song which he and his Giulietta had been singing together. But how little we know What the next minute will bring forth ! He turned by the church of St. Geminiana, and in three steps he met the watch. A murder had just been committed. The Senator Renaldi had been found dead at his door, the dagger left in his heart; and the unfortunate Marcolini was dragged away for examination. The place, the time, everything, served to excite, to .justify suspicion ; and no sooner had he entered the guard-house, than an evidence appeared against him. The bravo in his flight had thrown away his scabbard ; and, smeared with blood, with blood not yet dry, it was now in the belt of Marcolini. Its patrician ornaments struck every eye; and when the fatardagger was produced and compared with it, not a doubt of his guilt remained. Still there is in the innocent an energy and a composure; an energy when they speak, and a composure when they are silent, to which , none can be altogether insensible; and the judge delayed for some time to pronounce the sentence, though he was a near relation of the dead. At length, however, it came; and Marcolini lost his life, Giuletta her reason. Not many years afterwards the truth revealed itself, the real criminal in his last moments confessing the crime; and hence the custom in Venice, a custom that long prevailed, for a crier to cry out in the court before the sentence was passed, " Ricordatevi del povero Marcolini lo—Remember the poor Marcolini.— Great, indeed, was the lamentation throughout the city, and the judge, dying, directed that henceforth and for ever a mass should be sung every night in the ducal church for his own soul and the soul of Marcolini, and the souls of all who had suffered by an unjust judgment. Some land on the Brenta was left . by him for the issue purpose; and still is the mass sung in the chapel; still e v ery night, hen th e gre at square is illuminating, and the casinoes are filling fast with the gay towardsliht i t s h s e e e place l a ter of execution, and the dissipated, a bell is rung as fora servic e and a ray a the place where on a s mall Scaffold Gothic window that looks of.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, AUGUST 21. With the exception of Thursday last, (on the afternoon of which day we had heavy rain for several hours,) the past week has upon the whole been favourable for saving (lay, but still deficient of sunshine, and too cold for the crops of Grain—certainly not that description of genial warm weather now so very necessary for for warding the crops to maturity,—towards which they are progres sing very slowly,—being still green and far from ripeness, and re ports of the Wheat crops throughout this county and manp others in England, Scotland, and Ireland continue unfavourable both as to quality and quantity ; the imports from Ireland and coastwise continue to a very moderate extent, but the weather having been more favourable around London, and a decline in prices of Grain having in consequence occurred there, and in some of the influen tial southern counties, this market, which advanced in the prece ding week too rapidly, and without sufficient reason, has experi enced a decline during the past week, of 6d to 96 per 701 b on free and bonded Wheat, 3s to 4s per 280 lb on Flour, 2s to 3s per 240th on Oatmeal, and there has been a proportionate depression on all other articles in the Corn trade here, in Yorkshire, in Manchester, and Birmingham, and the transactions of the week have been to a very trivial extent. The duties on Barley, Indian Corn, and Buck Wheat from Foreign ports are this week decreased Is 6d per qr.,.-z on Wheat, as anticipated, 3s per qr.. and on 'Flour Is 91d per hrl ; on all other Grain there is no alteration ;—on Friday next a similar further decline will occur in the duties on Wheat and Flour, and very likely is 6(1 per qr. on Oats, [leans, and Pease. The transac tions of the past week in bonded Wheat and Flour have been very small, though at a reduction from the great advance of the prece ding one of 6d to 9d per 70th on the former, and of 3s to 4s per brl. on the latter; very little has been done in any other Grain in bond; hut the . scarcity of free Wheat has compelled some of our millers and dealers to buy in small quantities, for their imme diate wants, of the finest red Pomeranean Wheat in bond, to be delivered free of duty next Saturday, at Ils 6d to 12s per 705 to which some few of the holders have assented, and duty was paid last week on about 500 qrs for this purpose, although there is every probability of a further reduction of duty, and that on Friday the dlst instant the duty will be 6s 8d per qr on Wheat, and 4s per brl on Flour. With a change of Moon on Sunday morning we have had a recurrence of very had weather ;—very heavy rain on Sun day forenoon and yesterday—particularly severe last night—and continuing this day with increasing severity, which must prove very injurious to the crops in this district; in consequence of which a recovery of the decline above noted was anticipated at this day's market. but the unexpected account of the market in Mark-lane yesterday, stating a decline on Wheat, free and Bonded of Ss to 6s per quarter completely stagnated the demand here ; the decline above noted was confirmed and a little increased, for every article in the trade, and sales were effected to so very small an extent, that it is difficult to quote prices correctly, wl.ich we endeavour to do as under;—the weather continues with a very un settled appearance.

The elevated companion of the divine and the scholar, it is no less the luminary of hope and consolation to the rich and the poor, alike exposed to all the contingent infirmities and frailties of humanity!

Under these circumstance% it is truly gratifying to us to learn, that a re-issue of the whole impression from the first has become necessary, to meet the demands on the spirited publishers. To the public, at least that portion of it n o t p rov id e d w ith the first parts, this must prove a desideratum; and we would call attention to the advertisement in our columns of this day, which so truly and fully details the nature of the work, as one " of permanent value and ;.tility," and the objects contemplated by its conductors. If any man wishes to become practically acquainted with the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith, freed from error and superstition, and as taught by our ablest divines, let him read the easily accessible pages of the Church of England Magazine. SECOND EDITION.. Standard Office, Three o'Clock. LIVERPOOL MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 2-1. Our fresh arrivals of Oats, Oatmeal, and Flour have been more liberal than for some time; but of Wheat and all other free articles they continue extremely light, and we have also very little to report from abroad within the past few-days. The extensive decline in prices noted on Tuesday has been succeeded by renewed confidence in the trade, and, a similar feeling being manifested in London on Wednesday, higher rates were demanded here for both Free and Bonded Wheats, with a moderate extent of business doing. At to-da3's market the attention of buyers was chiefly directed to foreign samples of this grain under lock, and, with the almost certainty of the duty arriving at the lowest point in three or four weeks many parcels were taken off by our home and distant millers,, as well as by speculators, for forward delivery, at an advance of 3d. to 6d. per 701bs. on the currency of Tuesday, for general runs, and one cargo of very superior White Danzig realised as much as Ils. per 701bs. in bond. These prices being still relatively lower than those of Eng lish, we had, at the same time, little doing in the latter or in Irish, and, though rather more money was demanded, no improvement could be established.----English and Irish Flour found a moderate sale, at fully late prices, but we did not hear of any transactions in the bonded article. For Barley we have very little inquiry, and its value rather receding in consequence.—Malt, Beans, and Peas, without alteration. The trade both for Oats and Oatmeal was exceedingly slack to-day, having scarcely a country buyerat market, and each might have been purchased on somewhat easier terms ; good samples of the latter were offered at 30s. per =lbs.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, AUG 20. The supply of Beasts at market to-day has been somewhat smaller than that of the preceding week, and the quality much about the same; but we cannot note any alteration in price from our last week's quotations. It has been a selling market with many country buyers, hut the Beasts were not all sold up, in con , sequence of the steamers not arriving Until a late hour, which pre vented many parcels of Beasts from being shown until very late in the afternoon. The number of Sheep has also been smaller than last week, and Lambs rather scarce : the demand has been tolera bly good, and principally all sold up, saving a few Sheep of very ordinary quality. Best Beef was sold at from sfd to 6d, varying from that down to 5d per lb, but principally at the former prices. Wether Mutton may be quoted at 61d per lb. middling 6d, very or dinary and Ewes at a shade less. and Lambs much about the same price. Number of Cattle at market :—Beasts, 1213; Sheep and Lambs, 9218.
