Winter —wherein short days make short work, and nipping frosts bind earth and water into one iron-faced resistance to man's busy-handed industry: yet may, ne vertheless, even here, the enterprising footsteps procure judicious and glowing exercise, in robust play of the limbs. Having paid our court to the seasons, in the most sea sonable manner we could, let us then now descend to look into some of the dry and matter of fact details of pre paration for a pedestrian trip, which, though somewhat at first uninviting, yet we premise thus much to every and all—poet or naturalist—philosophe r or man of business-- that the poetry of nature's changing garb and features, —the science of her thousand ways of wonder working life—the t one of her swest influence on the mind and body —will he promoted in no trifling degree, by our secur ing, as far as practicable and foreseen, those conditions actually essential to the comfort and success of a pedes trian ramble; for if great things are only the summing up of small things, as, in the fable, the grateful ant stung the leg of the man whose deadly aim was thereby diverted from sacrificing the poor bird to whose kind act of rescue when in danger the ant had previously owed her own life—how can we despise even the least matter which can exercise an influence for good or evil on our journey's successful issue. Who has not had to experience the hitter mortification of having a trip on foot spoilt by Anne trifle, unheeded or unanticipated in the hey-day of the start ! What corn began to complain on the second day ? What sore heel from the wear of an ill-fit ting boot or shoe, has not destroyed all the soaring pleasure of oar excursion, just when the country began to open to our eager gaze ; and who that has so paid the penalty of incaution and neglect at start ing does not wish to take good care that such shall not happen again to themselves, or to any friend, indeed, starting on a similar trip, and who will listen to the voice of experience in the matter. To . enter, then, forthwith into all manner of " Hints" and_practical suggestions. 17: In the first place, the reader will be, perhaps, snrprised to learn how many things need to be attended to in preparing for a few days or weeks excursion into the country ; and, further, that you must begin to train and harden yourself a day or two before actual setting out. (To be continued.) LYING-IN HOSPITALS The art and science of midwifery is of very early origin, coeval with, if not antecedent to, the science of medicine, and appears to have been considered as a distinct depart ment of medical practice from the most remote ages of antiquity. Thus the most ancient writer in the world refers to the midwives who attend upon Rachel, the wife of Jacob, upon Thamer, the widow of Er, and upon the Hebrew women during the Egyptian captivity. The author of the first book of Samuel makes reference to the midwife who attended upon the wife of Phineas, the son of Eli. Hippocrates, the most ancient medical author extant, who lived 1,000 years after Moses, and about 400 years before Ch r i s t, co ll ected the disjointed fragments of information which lay scattered abroad, in reference to midwifery, as well as to medicine and surgery, and pre scribed more for diseases of females than for any others. The works of Celsns, Aretreus, Moschion, Rufus Ephesus, Galen, lEtius, Paulus tEgineta, and many others amongst the Greeks, abound with instructions in _midwifery, and several of the plans of treatment re commended by the moderns were clearly predicated by ancients of the Greek school. A succession of Arabian authors, Serapion, Rhazes, Avicenna, and Albucacis, brings us down to the twelfth century. In the following century the practice of medicine began to be encouraged in England. In the year 1532, Eucharius Rhodion, a German, published a treatise on parturition. The next book of any importance upon our subject was published in England in 1540 by Dr. Raynalde. Ambrose Pare in France, and the illustt ions Harvey in England contri buted materially to the improvement of midwifery during this century. Hitherto, the practice of midwifery had been almost exclusively confined to female practitioners, the assistance of the physician or surgeon being required only in cases of extreme difficulty and responsibility. The Duchesse de la Valliere, the favourite mistress of Louis XIV., was the first female who placed herself under the exclusive care of a male practitioner. This event occurred in 1663. The elevated rank of the duchesse furnished to other ladies of all ranks of society an example !And an induce ment to employ male practitioners, and Julian Clement, the attendant upon the duchesse, received shortly after wards the new appointment of accoucheur to the princesses of France. The increase of civilisation, together with its con comitants, crowded cities, unwholesome diet, hard la bour, personal and moral restraints, occupations injurious to health and calculated to weaken the frame, stunt the growth, and destroy that beautiful symmetry of form which nature has given—whether the consequence of necessity amongst the poor or the effects of luxury and self indulgence amongst the rich—must have tended to induce difficulty and danger in child birth, vastly greater than those occurring under circumstances more favour able to health. The increase of these difficulties would necessarily im press the sex with a powerful sense of danger; and the t incapability of the ordinary midwife in cases of l inary complication or severity, would naturally lical man THIRD EDITION. ABSTRACT OF AMERICAN NEWS BY THE " GARRICK." THE MONEY MARKET.—The New York Herald of the 26th reports under this head that American gold is in demand at per cent. premium, and very little can be procured. The quantity of specie in the country is suffi cient for all its wants, and is constantly increasing. There are in the New York banks 13,000,000 dols. in money; and yet scarcely any is to be found in circulation. There is very little prospect of a demand for business purposes, and money can therefore be obtained on good security, at prices never before equalled. It is expected that it will be long before the import trade can revive, under the present tariff. CORN MARKET.—The improvement noticed in this market in our last report still exists, and prices are firm, at an advance on our last quotations. Genesee is at 5 dols. 75c., and operations to some extent at that rate. Michigan 5 dols. 621 c. ; Southern, common, 5 dols. 50c.; fiat and round hoop Ohio at 5 dols. 50c. to 5 dols. 624 c. Our quotations for all descriptions during the present fluctuating state of the market cannot be otherwise than nominal. Many holders of Genesee demand a little above the rates given, while others, more wary, are disposed to operate often and remain safe. REPEAL AGITATION IN AMERICA.—The son of the Pre sident of the United States is reported by the New York Weekly Heraldto have identified himself with thisagitation! The Herald thus describes the circumstances—" Bob Tyler, (!) agreeable to previous intimation, addressed a numerous assembly of repealers at Boston on Wednesday last." The speech referred to was calculated to excite the passions of the Irish population of the States. In New York a meeting of the Repeal Association was held on the 24th, and exhibited amost tumultuous scene. The Americans have taken objection to Daniel's anti.. slavery efforts ; and the opinion of parties able to esti mate the feelings of that people upon this ticklish sub ject is that " reaction has begun," and that the "sympa thy" of America " has cooled down to zero." " Every future meeting of the repeal agitation throughout the union," remarks the New York Herald, " will present a scene similar to this. Rows are unavoidable. The whole agitation may, indeed, be fairly said to be at an end in this country." Mrs. Catharine Gilmour, alias Cochrane, who came passenger in the Excel, from Liverpool, was arrested on the 24th inst., on the charge of poisoning her husband in Scotland in January last. Yesterday she was brought up to have her first exami nation before Mr. Rapelyea, U. S. Commissioner, and ultimately postponed till the Ist July. This is the first arrest under the new treaty. MATANZAS.—An arrival at Savannah from Matanzas brings a report of an insurrection in the Island of Jamaica though no particulars. An English brig was totally lost on the east end of the island of Cuba while going in to load. James Gordon Bennett, of the New York Herald, visits England during the present summer, and returns in autumn Mr. Legare,the Attorney-General of the United States had died suddenly. [Since the arrival of the Garrick we have made inqui ries with respect to the probable cause of the Columbia's long passage. It is a singular coincidence that the Bri tannia was detained 36 to 48 hours on the corresponding voyage at this period last year, owing to fogs on the Banks of Newfoundland, and little apprehension is en tertained that any other cause has detained her on this voyage.--Ed. L. S.] In this country the sale of quack medicines has kept pace with the •` march of intellect." Forty years ago they yielded an annual revenue to the state of about £14,000. In 1841 the amount realised was £50,000. A REMARKABLE TREE.—Capt. Monk, has, in his garden at Neston, Cheshire, a rose tree, of a peculiar species, which at this time bears 3,700 flowers, besides innumerable buds to come in succession ! Sir Peter Laurie says there is one great recommendation in the wood pavement,—economy, which he clearly proves by showing that, if it does not save the horse's shoes, at all events it makes them slippers. THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS.—The second volume of this spirited and elegant newspaper, for the half-year ending with June, is made complete with a noble and boldly executed title-page, index, preface, &c. issued with the wench'. weekly rsunobci of l ust aaturaay. The suc cess of this publication has been unprecedented ; we need ' not say that it has also been deserved. INIQUITY OF THE SELFISH PRINCIPLE. —lf men bounded their desires after this world's goods, by what they might fairly acquire without approximating to the verge of another woe, proclaimed against him " that useth his neighbour's service without wages, and giveth him not for his work," or who gives so little, it is next akin to nothing; there would be a manifest check put to the augmentation of estates, the embellishment of dwelling houses, and the countless etcetera of personal emulation and display. Waste land would not be enclosed as now it everywhere is; the village common would still pasture the poor man's cow, and afford picking to his little stock of poultry, instead of being made to bear grain for the wealthy farmer, or to form an addition to the nobleman's preserve. The frame of woman would not be bowed un der such burdens as ought not even to be laid on the more robust structure of man, nor would her mind be inevitably vitiated by compulsory admixture with labourers of the other sex, at such times, in such places, and under such circumstances as render mental contamination at least a matter of course. Children would not be immured throughout the livelong day in gloomy buildings, and their exhausting efforts protracted to thirteen, fourteen, fifteen hours of labour, to the utter exclusion of every hope that instruction, even on the most vital subjects, may reach them. The common sense of mankind assents to what inspiration declares—" Man goeth forth to his work and to his labour until the evening." Twelve hours is the limit prescribed, by universal consent, for the work of adults ; yet under the influence of this money getting mania, we find employers pertinaciously refnsing to bring the daily service even of their juvenile operatives within that limit. No other excuse is, or can be ad vanced ; the market, say they, must be supplied, and whatever advantage we sacrifice, others will seize. It may be so ; but the policy is very short-sighted that looks no farther than the duration of this demand;. this unhealthy, feverish craving for a supply only to be ob tained by means pregnant with destruction alike to the markets, the goods, and those who bring them there. The least taste of licentious liberty, such as our working po pulation recently obtained a snatch of, is perilous in the extreme to those who know no medium between it and the most heart-sickening drudgery ; combined with im prisonment, and the constant spectacle of luxury in ano ther class that seems to mock their privations, and to count them but as the beasts that perish.—Perils of the Nation. DUELLING In our last we acquainted our readers with one of those desperate and unhappy offences which have so long con stituted the disgrace of law and the curse of society. A man in the prime of life, for Colonel Fawcett was but 35 a gallant soldier, for he had just received an honour for his gallantry in the Chinese campaigns —and a husband—. has been put to death by his own relative. We are per fectly aware that this homicide has been committed in a duel, according to the rules made by the clubs, military messes, and such other high legal authorities, and that though the law of the land condemns such acts as murder, yet as fashion says they are useful, very gentlemanlike, and even very necessary things, the law will not find itself able to do anything in the matter; and the person who killed the deceased will go about his proper business as usual, unless, indeed, some similar invitation be given to himself to go out and be killed. In the meantime a goodly formality is gone through, every atom of which might as well be spared, for it will be wholly ineffectual. Everybody on and off the jury knows that Colonel Fawcett was shot dead at five o'clock in the morning, after having gone to the Hampstead road to shoot at, or be shot by, another person; that he was killed on the spot; and that there is no doubt whatever that his, miserable end, the extinction of all his hopes, uses, and services in this world, the widowing of his wife, and perhaps the bitter sorrows of a mother and sisters, were all inflicted in the space of five minutes after he alighted from his cabriolet, by the hand of the gentleman who, also being allied to him, came out for the purpose thus quickly and com,oletely accomplished. Yet, if his antagonist on this unhappy occasion had shot Colonel Fawcett in his back, or at night, or in a wood, or in a private room and alone, the case would be declared murder, and the murderer would be hanged. Yet, what is the difference in the result ? None that we can possibly discover. The gallant soldier is as much lost to life as if he had been stabbed by an assassin ; the only palliative (I) being, that he was killed with two gentlemen looking on and a surgeon in, attendance; that he was killed in the face of day, and with a pistol in his hand, by which he might at the same time have killed the husband of his wife's sister ; two individuals being thus destroyed instead of one, and two sisters made widows at the same time. But why was this act of blood committed? Nobody knows. What has it remedied ? Nobody can tell. There has been some rumour of some words between the an tagonists on some money transaction. Has a bullet the faculty of clearing up the account ? has it made the wronging party the right ? has it c l eare d the character of any one? Not in the least. It bas only showed that one of the parties could kill the other; and for this purpose a soul is sent naked before God, in the very act of defying his commands. Why should such things be in any country Why should they be tolerated for a moment in v,4cse prou , . l .t'A bof.ist is that it I,rod- •• county Scriptures ntip its purity? If paganism was never gu ilty of this atrock'us stain—if the bravest people o f th e anc i ent world, the rom b : i 9 Greek and the daring Roman, never dreamed of it, a , tither a stimulant or a sign of nationa' courage—if it originated only . in that dark a n d bl oo d } superstition which, ma , - . ing: religion the sanction its of every vice, insulted the jiIStICES or heaven , by annexing judg ment to the chances of the 5A;n rd, until the monk and the hired champion s e ttl e d th e pr i ce of life together, an d th e trade of the assassin grew ou t o r tht, abominations of both —is it not time for Christian Englant: to raise her voice against this direct insult to all justice an all humanity ? Why does not the church come forward to 4enounce the crime ? Where are our bishops? Why do they not com mand their clergy to preach against it? Where a:e the gatherers of public meetings on a hundred purposes not a hundreth part so important? Where is the association of which we have heard so much? And why are not the authorities of the church called upon to protest in the most solemn and decisive manner against a custom which is a crying evil in the sight of God and mar,? Why, we ask, are not our bishops forward in the extinction of this sport of blood and misery ?—Britannia.

And here we see man, the crown of all _ , • works, lying urse pronounced by Almighty upon original t .ession, with his frame beauteously fitted for activity ; appointed to sweat under neeatut toil in order to earn his daily- food. Yet the ap petite for exertion is found gratefully alleviating the penalty of the primeval sentence ; so that, in fact, rest less man experiences far more of a curse in idleness anti fruitless inactivity, than he actually realizes under the existing urgent instigations to their opposite. Thus may we be reconciled to, and even rejoice over, that elect ion of tho kindlier alternative which heaven has made for us in recording her penal sentence attempered with mercy. 2. Man, therefore, loves exertion ; not only does his present condition demand and sue for it, but his constitu tion rejoices in it : and most true it ever has been, and will be, that rest itself is only to be enjoyed in succession to activity —ease is alone relished— sleep is only grate fully welcome after that, "Toil which does keep Obstructions from the mind and quench the blood; Vase but belongs to us like sleep, and sleep, Like opium, is our medicine, not our food." Sir W. D'ilvenant's Gondibert. 3. Activity is essential to the health of every organ of the bogy, for, through the use and exercise of the mus cular system, the functions of the whole compound being are efficiently discharged —the circulating system is de veloped and maintained in its requisite force, and in har mony with the nervous as well as nutritive or assimila `4— ' —the brain receives its nicely-balanced systems— , - suPP►y—the lungs are expanded, so ils to have their in herent elasticities called forth ; whilst the heart, ac quiring full tone and and energy, as the fountain of life, again returns the vital currents back to those muscles, and throughout the varied framework of the body, in )rder to evolve their corresponding requisite develop- Let us add to the benefits of this muscular exercise the respiration of the pure mountain air,— High on the breeze's ridge, whose lofty sides The ethereal deep with endless billows chafes giving thereby fresh life to the blood, and that sparkling glow of colour to the cheek which is alternately dis carded and admired, as ' rude health,' by the capriciously varying tastes of society. Let the mind be emancipated from corrosive care, and in its stead be clad with that cheerfulness which the "country" so invariably excites, and we shall realise health's vital principle —bringing bliss. " Health is the soul that animates all the pleasures of life ; and without it a man starves at the best of tables—is poor and wretched in the midst of the greatest treasures. Without health, youth loses all vigour; beauty all its charms : music is grating to the ears: palaces are prisons : riches useless : honours and atendants cumbersome; and crowns themselves a Durthen 5. On the other hand, under the veil of inactivity, lurk the seeds of all manner of bodily and mental disease; the body itself wastes, or else drags its stag nant bulk along—the mental powers languish and be come obtuse—the animal spirits flag, and in reooiling again upon themselves become a prey to ennui and melancholy, with all their attendant train of evils. Hence we find in the higher classes of society, where the necessity for active bodily exertion is least remarked, that the kinds of diseases to which such classes are the most obnoxious, are exactly those derangements of the natural functions which are most directly traceable to habits of luxurious indolence, repletion and inactivity. 6. Locomotion, then, is manifestly and extensively intended by nature, so important and so various are the objects to be attained by it, and by it alone, in our social condition, whether that be in the simpler or more com plex walks of life, that the grand question resolves into into a consideration regarding the mode only, whereby healthful exercise and recreation are to be readiest found, and most well-arranged and agreeable pedestrian excursions, is the reply. The charm of travelling (never so great as when on foot, each stage of delightful variety is fairly won) has been a fertile theme for the pen of the letter writer and the poet to descant upon—and not alone these--the graver pen of the medical philosopher has ble to the bulk of society eulogized sweet travel:" it is an untold store of re reation for the mental and bodily consideration of our ccmpound life ;—it expands the heart in with either the pleasure or pain of others, and adds a relish itself to the mere fact of our bare existence ; long ere the chords of our spiritual and intellectual nature vibrate to its successive series of awakening incident. Et little work lately out, has the following remark on subject " In travelling we multiply events, and innocently. We set out, as it were, on our adventures ; and many are those, that occur to us, morning, noon, and night. The day we come to a place we have long heard and read of, is an era. ia our lives ; and from that moment the very name calls up a picture. How delightfully, too, does the knowledge flow in upon us. and how fast ! 7. For all those listless and effeminate persons, who "see no good in walking when they can ride in a carriage," the following suggestions will be void of interest or pro fit :—lnvalidness, luxury, business, or the want of time, are conditions which it is not in' place here to discuss.

It is a large and yellow fish with a great mouth, and feeds chiefly on salmon spawn, moles, mice, frogs, &c. A curious cir cumstance once happened to me at Pulney Loch ; one of my sons threw a live mouse into it, when a large trout took the mouse down immediately. The boy told me what had happened, so I took my fishing-rod which was leaning against my house close to the loch, and put a fly on. At the very first throw I hooked a large trout, landed it, and laid it on the walk ; in two seconds the mouse ran out of its mouth, and got into a hole in the wall before I could catch it."—Scrope's Days of Salmon Fishing. OUR SCINDIAN CONQUEST.-It will further appear, that the present, or rather the now deposed, dynasty of Ameers, were intruders, whose occupation of the country is not of fifty years date ; who have not, therefore, ac quired that species of right to which sufferance gives a qualified sanction, and who could justify their title by nu plea but the choice and approbation of their subjects. Now, the universally consenting testimony of all persons who have visited the territories of the Ameers, declares that they are detested by the Scindians, who sigh for any change, and who hailed the approach of the British, when on their march towards Affghanistan, in the vain hope that they were coming to release them from the absurd and intolerable tyranny of their princes, which condemned the people to misery and the very soil to reluctant sterility. Every traveller in Scinde speaks loudly in praise of the fertile and productive properties of many tracts in that neglected country, and of the resources which it would afford to commerce if its energies were not depressed.— Asiatic Journal. PRICES IN 1793.—The celebrated Count Mirabeau, in a letter written from London just fifty years ago, thus speaks of English prices ; it is remarkable bow very nearly they are the same as those paid at the present time. "To enable you to form a judgment of the dearness of London, take the following : bread, 2d. a pound ; coarse meat, 4d ; roasting beef, Bd. to 9d. ; bacon, 10d. ; butter, Is. ; can dles, 7d. ; the price of a cow, 12 or 15 guineas ; an acre of land, in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, £5 or £6 per annum. This great dearness of provisions is continu ally exciting murmurs among the peole ; but famine is not the consequence. The only measures taken a few years ago, by the legislature, under similar circumstances, were, laying an embargo upon English corn, and suffering the importation of foreign grain during three months. In the debates, upon that occasion, one of the first peers of Eng land observed, that the dearness of provisions was not so much a proof of a dearth of corn, as of the great super fluity of gold and silver, which war and commerce had brought into the kingdom ; that the country partook of that superfluity, which extended even to the farmer." WHAT MUST BE DONE WITH SCINDE ?—The country is now placed in our hands—how is it to be disposed of? There are but three modes : first, that of restoring it to its late possessors, with such curtailments and under such conditions as may diminish the means of annoyance here after ; secondly, that of replacing it under the independent authority of some member of the Calora dynasty ; or, lastly, that of administering the government of the country ourselves. Now, it is obvious that the late rulers of Scinde, educated as they have been, and identifying their interests with those of an army of Belooche ruffians, could never make their country a useful ally of Britain, or im part to it sufficient strength to resist any invader. Want of attachment on the part of their subjects would alone enfeeble their authority, and Scinde would still remain weak, disorganised, and poor. The change of dynasty, if it were practicable, would be merely an experiment. The Calora family had no hold upon the affections of the peo ple, and if restored must be upheld, like Shah Shooja, by British bayonets. There seems, therefore, no other pru dent alternative th an th a t w hi c h the Governor-General of India appears to have adopted,—for no formal annexation of Scinde to the British dominions has yet been promul gated,—that of boldly doing in the face of the world that which must be done covertly' v either of the otter courses SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, LIVERPOOL JULY RACES. ...WEDNESDAY THE CROXTETH STAKES Of 15 sons each, added, for three-yr-olds, 6st 81b ; four, Bst 91b • six and aged, 9st ; mares, &c., One mile and a quarter.
