tiottrp. THE DUKE OF SUSSEX. POSTSCRIPT TO A RHYMING VERSION OF THE LETTER OF THE DUKE OF SUSSEX TO THE ROYAL SOCIETY. (From the Torch. ) A friend to the Whigs I have been, and shall be, Oh, liberals! wherefore so stingy to we! Ye envy nut Daniel o',Connell his ren t : _ . 'ent ! Og, a king. 'o your door, y Timex, ,o - unds; TO THE BISHOPS OF THE PROTESTANT CHURCH. [The following lines were written by a Poet in very humble life, and are creditable alike to his head and heart.] Stand boldly forth and guard our holy shrines, That faithsent forth amid Mount Sinai ' s thunder, When through the forked lightning's crimson lines, Jehovah's voice burst loch in fearful wonder; That faith for which ten thousand martyrs bled; Oh! guard a trust left by the holy dead! For time has turned our ancient steeples gray, A thousand storms have round them roared in vain, The Atheist's scorns glanced harmlessly away, They shook not at the sceptic's deep-laid train : Time, tempests, malice, evil's cunning skill, Have left their firm foundations, firmer still! Oh ! guard our Church, and then you guard the Crown, For 'tis by these our country's cause is bound, And the same blow that strikes our Altar down Will hurl a nation's freedom to the ground: Stand boldly forth, in me your country calls, Fur with her Church she stands, or with it falls! Yours is no carnal" war, with sanguine blade, Or broad-blown banner iustling in the wind; The tongues of martyrs shout forth in your aid, A faith, which fire and faggot could not bind ! Blazes before ye like a beacon light The flaming pillar leading on aright. Oh ! deem not that our Queen will turn away From that true faith which she is sworn to guard; Or tamely stand and see our Church decay, When at the gate the foe is pressing bard : Lift up each voice—they shall not sound alone, Millions of tongues shall shout for Church and Throne. To you we look, in you we put our trust, Our faith, our hopes, our rights, our sacred all ; 10 And we conjure you by that holy dust, Which moulders under many a gray church wall, That ye hold firm the solemn charge that 'a given, II sealed by the blood of those approved by heaven ! J. B. a (Glamorgan and Merthyr Guardian.) THE BLESSING OP A WHIG MUNICIPAL COR PORATION. ( From the Sunderland Beacon.) The corporation under which the united townships of Sun derland, Bishopwearmouth, and Monkwearmoutb, have the superlative pleasure to exist, have at last published a report of their expenditure, which has long been very anxiously ex pected by the rate-payers. The report embraces the period from the Ist of January, 18.36, to the 31st of August, 1838; and is altogether a very curious and important document. A publication of this nature ought to have been generally distributed, and almost gratuitously ; or at any rate within the ordinary means of perusal by the humblest inhabitant of the borough. Had it been advertised in the newspapers ; such would have been the case, or it might have been distri buted in a very cheap form. Such, however, appears not to be the will and pleasure of their high mightinesses of whig gery, by whom it is our great and happy privilege to be go verned, and the report is therefore published at the high price of sixpence t The first thing which strikes us, is the sum of "Town's clerk law charges, £1,543 10s. Od." We say nothing about his "own year's salary of £200." The item alluded to runs thus :—" Cash on account of £615 4s. 6d. Bill of Costs quo warrant°. Ditto, £B2B journies. Ditto, £452 ss. 4d. dis bursements." We, of course, never having seen it, know nothing of— " this bill of costs!" We are also equally in the dark con cerning the £452 ss. 4d. disbursements! ! But as for "the £BB2 journies"—doubtless the worthy town-clerk will pre sently favour us with the nature of his travels, and whether published at sixpence or six shillings—whether the travelling extends to the Land's End, or only to Lanibton Castle, we promise him an attentive and diligent perusal. Regarding other charges. under the several heads of "law expenses," "rents and taxes," "stationery, advertising, and printing"—we profess we know nothing beyond pointing out the current in which municipal favours delight to disport themselves. Under the bead of " Deputy Returning Officers and Poll Clerks"—"sundry expenses"--(not forgetting the sum of £3 for ringing the bells on the election of our worthy mayor) —and various other interesting charges, we are quite sure much amusement as well as instruction will be afforded to our readers. Next comes the " Police Establishment," to which we call particular attention. Surely bolts and bars are now of very little use in this populous borough, whilst the occupation of the locksmith must be entirely gone? Under this head there appears, for salaries alone, £1,967 16s. sd! For fitting up station-houses, £94 Is. 10d. Fur clothing, £377 Os. 10d.! For bedsteads and, bedding, £123 17s. 6d. Fur " equip ments"—viz., truncheons, handcuffs, rattles, armlets, lan terns, straps, &c. &c., £76 18s. 6d. For gas-lights for sta tion-houses, £27 10s. 9d. For coals for station-houses, £23 2s. Bd., and for sundry disbursements under this magnificent police head, £lB Gs. 9d. more, making a grand total of ex penditure for police of £2,759 765. Bd.! Why our intelligent governors could for one moment think of withholding these important particulars from the know ledge of every man, however humble, in the borough, we cannot even imagine. And particularly as they are a " march of intellect" corporation. Great sticklers also " for the spread of knowledge amongst the people." But perhaps the "knowledge of how the hard earnings of the industrious rate payers have been expended is not of equal value in the eyes of whiggery with that sort of knowledge promulgated in the "penny Magazine" and other "march of intellect" publi cations, wherei❑ the " knowledge" how to abuse the tories is there shown to be the highest possible attainment, and how to glorify the Whigs is alsu taught to be 'the greatest virtue under heaven. Our readers are pretty well aware that we are by no means admirers of what is called "free trade;" but in which we only can recognise a one-sided freedom. Nevertheless, on this occasion, we must make " free" with the corporation's sixpenny publication, and offer the whole of it to our readers at our usual charge of fourpeuce-halfpenny; which, after abstracting other most interesting intelligence, will at any rate realise to the purchaser the small profit of twenty-five per cent. So much for the dishonest attempt to smother how the rates are expended, and the blessing of having a whig municipal corporation." ,•• •,, y..... ....casaica •,.., ~...4 1 /llllell MS rent; Ye paid off the debts of the Duchess of K, And thus let me go, with a dog and a stria beg through the land—lik e th e s on o f z i .

To Trip ructirvo.-.2 r-vp , I , LTV 'DT) fIP CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE CORN LAWS. ( From the Morning Post.) It is observable from the tone of the whig journals, both in town and country, as well as from their selection of news, that a scheme is on foot—nothing short of villatious—t he ob ject of which is to raise the price of bread corn far beyond what existing circumstances justify. In the London papers, to which we allude, there may be seen, not only exaggerated accounts of a gloomy character, as respects the harvest, from various parts of the kingdom, but also stetemen:s from the continent, leading to the supposition that the supply is very short there, and unequal to the satisfying of any extraordi nary demand from this country. in the provincial papers we see leading articles devoted' to the express purpose of cre ating an alarm of scarcity, and yet, clumsily enough, di rectly recommending a course which must aggravate the evil represented, if any such did exist, namely, that all farmers who can afford to hold over their stocks of grain for some months should do so, for the sake of the better prices which their kind advisers tell them they will be sure then to obtain. This villainy has, no doubt, a double purpose. There is a political object and a mercantile object. The landed interest is to be injured by creating a state of circumstances which it is conceived will bring the corn laws into popular odium; and a knot of jobbing capitalists are to be served, who hope to make enormous gains by forcing the people to pay a high price for the immense stocks of corn which have been pur chased up on speculation. And here it is worthy of remark, that these same speculators—most of them quakers—who are now straining their immense money power to the utmost, for the purpose of making corn dear, and filling their own pockets at the expense of every family in the kingdom that consumes bread—these speculators are almost all liberals in politics, and exceedingly vociferous upon all public occasions that popular privileges should be enlarged. Does not the villainous misrepresentation which they have set on foot throughout the country, for the purpose of plaguing and plun dering the people with an artificial scarcity, show very clearly the real nature of the liberality of these men ? Does it not show how little they care for the substantial good of the people, even when they are clamouring in the people's name for political changes ? Their sole object. is to serve them selves. They wish for political changes which will add to their personal consequence; and as they can only hope to obtain such changes by means of the people's voice, they re present that these changes will benefit the multitude, and they pretend that for the sake of the multitude they ought to be made. Again, they wish to make for themselves an enor mous profit upon their stocks of corn; and though this-can only be obtaiaed out of the pockets of the people, who are the consumers, they do not hesitate to resort to misrepresen tation and wicked counsel, to the end that the ordinary sup. ply of the corn markets may be withheld, and that the bread consumers may be made to pay dear fur the stores which these designing liberals have accumulated! We affirm again, as we have affirmed before, that there is now as large a quantity of wheat in this country open to the consumer, as there has been open on an average of years at this time. The real difference is in the quantity under bond. For some years past the stock of foreign wheat was not taken out of bond, and, as far as market price was concerned, might as well have been in Africa as in England. Granting that there has been a slight deficiency in the supply from our own fields, as compared with the average, it has been already more than made up by the supply which has passed the Cus tom House. Allowing the sufficiency to be so much as seven percent., or say one-fourteenth of the whole, this ought to be balanced by an advance of rather less than three farthings upon the average price of the four-pound loaf for the last three years. If the people have to pay any more, it will be either because they eat more, or because advantage is taken of circumstances and exaggeration to make theirs pay into the pockets of the holders of wheat a larger remuneration than hitherto they have paid. Let it be borne in mind that the principal part of the foreign supply has come in duty free, or the next thing to it, namely, one shilling per quar ter. This arises from the carefulness of the law to prevent an excessive price. If the people do not obtain the benefit of this excellent law, they may thank their "liberal" friends, the corn speculators. DR. WARREN.—It is understood that the Bishop of Ches. ter has promised ordination to the above gentleman, who was for a time considered as the head of a party who, some two years since , seceded from the Wesleyan Methodists. From his party, hOwever, he seceded about twelve mouths ago, on the alleged ground that the constitution or body of laws, by which it was aoverued, were too democratic. The rev. gen. tleman is now taking tbose preliminary steps essential to his formal recognition as a minister of the established church. Sir Oswald Mosley, the lord of the manor of Manchester has generously given a site in Every-street, Ancoats, in which it is intended to erect a church, of which Dr. Warren is to be the minister, £l5OO has been promised by the Lancashire Church Building Society, and when this sum is made up to £2t(lo by donations, of which no doubt exists, (two gentle men having given ElOO each, and another £5O) application is to i i b ei so aa T. tier Majesty's Church Commissioners for a sins . r s dr thp milli on grant of 1824, and which is Ztentsgi t 6 ice etipS.e2. „, "'.'

LECTURES ON CHEMISTRY AS APPLIED TO THE ARTS. On Wednesday evening Dr. Kane delivered the fifth of his interesting lectures upon the products of the distillation of organic substances. On the Continent and in America, where timber is plenti ful and coals scarce, the inhabitants obtain their supply of carbon for the purposes of smelting and other processes in the arts from the burning of wood, which, as the charcoal is merely required, they ignite in large conical masses covered with earth. In this country, however, where the contrary is the case and coke can readily be obtained, we seldom ignite wood except for the purpose of obtaining the pyroligneous liquors which it contains. The charcoal is to us the least valuable of the _products. Every one is familiar with the appearance wood - chareoal,. which ha's thiiMeTnlirepai r ed:' It is soft or hard according to the quality of the wood and the temperature to which it has been submitted. 'rhe char coal made in the preparation of vinegar is not well burned, on account of which it gives out disagreeable acrid fumes when burned. If we take any organic sustances and leave them to the action of the air and of moisture, they become carbon. This goes on with great rapidity in districts which are sup plied with abundant quantities of water, where mossy vege tables exist closely linked together, and hence the origin of peat. If we suppose that owing to accidental circumstances these masses are confined-by clay, we shall have an idea of the mode in which coal has been formed in this country. This action which is now going on in the hogs and morasses is the same which went on in former times, so as to present us with our present supply of coals. We have other sources of carbon, but amongst these there is only one which specially requires our notice. It is the pluinbago or black lead which is used in the manufacture of black lead pencils. This is frequently formed artificially, and it sometimes happens when cast iron has been exposed to the action of the atmos phere and water for a considerable time, that the iron is com— pletely removed from the mass, and a complete cinder re mains behind, giving us remarkably pure black lead. It was for a long time supposed that plumbago was a compound of carbon and iron, but it has been discovered that the iron is only mechanically mixed, and that plumbago in a state of purity is pure carbon. Carbon has an affinity for oxygen, which upon uniting with it forms a co m p oun d ca ll e d carbonic acid gas ; and this, combined with. lime, generates the various species of carbonate of lime, such as chalk, marble, &c. so abundantly met with in nature. The presence of carbonic acid is readily shewn by lime water which it renders completely turbid, carbonate of lime being formed. By ad ding to the mixture a small quantity of any acid, an effer vescence takes place and the whiteness disappears. When an organic substance is exposed to heat, its elements, which are generally carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, are ex posed to a new set of circumstances: new effects are called into play. At low temperatures, carbon has a very slight affi nity for oxygen ; but at high temperature, it has a very power ful affinity for it. In this way the hydrogen is separated, one portion of which combines with the oxygen to form water, and another with the carbon. Organic substances generally con tain carbon to great excess. In some instances, besides one portion uniting with the hydrogen to form olefiant gas, ano ther portion of it unites with the oxygen to form carbonic oxide. Olefiant gas was discovered by some Dutch chemists, who, towards the latter end of the last century, had associated themselves for the purpose of research. The mode iu which it is prepared is very simple. If I take a quantity of spirits of wine, and pour upon it some vitriol, there is a great heat evolved. The wine becomes hot, and on applying heat ole fiant gas is given off. Oil of vitriol is characterized by its powerful affinity for water, which it takes from the spirits of wine, and olefiant gas is set free. It is called olefiant gas from its singular property of making oil. Spirits of wine consists of 4 atoms of carbon, 6 of hydrogen, and 2 of oxy gen. By the action of sulphuric acid there are formed two portions of water (2 hydrogen and 2 oxygen), and 4 of hydro gen and 4of carbon unite to form olefiant gas. By the ac tion of heat upon wood, olefiant gas is produced. Although, in the process of the formation of coal from the wood, a great deal of its hydrogen was lost, still it contains a great deal of hydrogen. The average of coal contains 80 per cent. of car bon, 8 to 9 of hydrogen, and the remainder is made up of oxygen, with a small quantity of nitrogen. The result is, that when we heat coal, a small proportion of the hydrogen com bines with the oxygen to form water; but the great mass of it is separated as hydrogen: therefore coal is made use of fur the purposes of procuring flame. Olefiant gas burns with a remarkably bright light. It is lighter than atmospheric air, being nine-tenths of its weight. The consequence of this is, that it can be applied as a means of elevating balloons, al though the size of the balloon must be moth larger than if we employed pure hydrogen. The ordinary coal gas is bet ter adapted for elevating balloons than pure olefiant gas, which is only lighter than atmospheric air in the proportion of 9to 10, whilst coal gas is only as 60r7 to 10. Chlorine and olefiant gas unite and form a yellow compound. When the mixed gases are set fire to, the result is singular, as we shall find that the chlorine will unite with the hydrogen, and the carbon is completely separated. Oletiant gas pre sents a very singular property. When set fire to, it will burn with remarkable brilliancy. It is one of those bo dies which gives the greatest quantity of heat. Where it passes over a red hot surface, it is decomposed, and in place of 4 carbon and 4 hydrogen, we have a new gas generated which consists of 2 of carbon and 4 of hydrogen, 2 of the carbon being set free. The consequence of this is, that if olefiant gas is passed through a red-hot tube, it will deposit one-half of its carbon in the state of lamp black. In the flame of olefiant gas there is separated a large quantity of carbon, and it is this quantity of carbon upon which the luminous properties of the flame depend. We can easily analys,e olefiant gas. If we lay wire gauze on the flame of the gas lamp, t i Oe flame cannot pass through, but a great quantity of black smoke passes through unconsumed , the wire gauze preventing it from burning, by cooling the flame. When a small quantity of gas is inflamed it burns blue, because it is supplied with a large quantity of oxygen, and there is very little solid matter to be inflamed. If we allow the flame a larger supply of gas, it will burn with a bright light, in con sequence of a sufficient quantity of carbon being evolved and burned, but if the flame is supplied with gas beyond a certain point, the gas-light will smoke, in consequence of there not being a sufficient quantity of oxygen to supply the flame. In order to manufacture coal gas, coal is taken which contains the greatest quantity of hydro - gen. The coal which is made use of in this theatre is the cannel coal, which is re markable for containing the largest quantity of hydrogen of any coal with which we are acquainted. The manufacture of the gas consists in heating co'al in a series of iron retorts to redness, the mouths of which are connected with the gas meter yrc eons of pipes. The retorts are capable of con taining from 6to 7 cwt. of coal each. By this process we get not only the luminous gas•and carbonic oxide. but a quan tity of gas, containing only one haif of the carbon, in conse quence of a portion of gas being decomposed by coming into contact with tha red hot sides of the retort. The proto carurbet of hydrogen thus formed is very light, and by ming ling with the luminous gas, renders it still lighter than it otherwise would be, but, at the same time, less capable of affording light. If we consider the circumstances un der which coal has been formed, we shall find that wherever basalt or any rocks of an igneous character have come into contact with coal, the same result has taken place as that which we find in the retort of the manufacturer, and that a large quantity of coke has been formed. The conse quence of this is, that a large quantity of the proto-carburet of hydrogen is set free, which is in tact the "fire damp" of the miners. In order to show the effect of the union of the proto-carburet of hydrogen with oxygen. I have here a small bladder, in which they are mixed in proper proportion, and we shall find that upon coming into contact with flame, the explosion will be as violent as that of oxygen and hydrogen. [The explosion was awfully violent, and shook the building to the foundation.]—The result of this explosion is the for mation of carbonic acid and water. We can readily imagine the destruction which results from the formation of such mixtures in the galleries of mines. We owe to Davy one of the most remarkable discoveries in science which has been made, and likewise the most remarkable application of it to the benefit of humanity. Davy discovered that flame cannot pass through a metallic tissue, and consequently, though a metallic tissue may explode on one side in a quantity of gas, this inflammation cannot be made to pass through it. He cousequently proposed that the lamps of miners should be completely surrounded with an impenetrable cylinder of wire gauze, so that if the lamp, when properly arranged, was carried into an inflammable mixture, we should find that although the portion of the mixture in the cylinder should be ignited by the flame of the lamp, yet in consequence of the intervention of the gauze, the flame could not pass through; and so the miner might walk through the most explosive atmosphere in those galleries, without fear of an explosion. These lamps, like eve)) , thing human, will not in all cases answer their intention; for when a current of air passes along the galleries, the flame of the lamp is liable to be urged against the gauze opposed to it, whereby the atruo sphei e surrounding the lamp has exploded. ft has been proposed to guard against this by surrounding the gauze with a glass cylinder, so as to prevent the action of currents. i Coal snot by any means a pure substance. The majority of vegetable substances contain nitrogen. The iesearches of several continental philosophers have proved that the proportion of nutrition in vegetable substances depends upon the quantity of nitrogen which the substance contains, so that in fact was agricultural chemistry better understood than it is, upon any foreign substance being introduced it would be only necessary to submit the separate parts of the plant to analysis, to determine the quantity of nitrogen which they contained, in order to discover the relation which they bear to the plants of our own country. This ¶ mention as one of the best examples of the use of analytical chemistry in the arts and manufactures. Coal contains a quantity of azote, but not much, as it seldom exceeds 4 to 5 parts in 100, but it is never less than I in 100. This azote causes a very remarkable alteration of the way in which coal is decom posed, and we have two new substances formed. Nitrogen has a powerful affinity for hydrogen, and also for carbon. It has also for oxygen, but at a high temperature this is over come. One portion of the nitrogen unites with the hydrogen and forms au alkali used in the arts, called ammonia, and the remaining portion of it unites with the carbon, and forms a substance which in a pure state is of no practical import- ' ance, vet which forms some compounds of the greatest in terest. Thus by the introduction of nitrogen into coal, even in small quantities. we have the formation of two substances, ammonia and cyanogen. The destruction of coal now pro vides us with the ammonia of commerce • but before we were provided with this means, we used to obtain it by the distil. lation of animal matters, and its salt was called salts of hartshorn, and its solution spirits of hartshorn. The smell of ammonia characterises it in a very remarkable manner. The materials for generating pure ammonia, are sal ammo niac and lime. Sal ammoniac is a combination of muriatic acid and spirits of ammonia. When the lime i 3 put into combination with sal ammoniac, the lime having a powerful affinity for mnriatic acid, unites with it, and the ammonia is set free in the form of a colourless gas. Sogreat is its affinity for Dater, that we cannot collect it by that means, but for the purposes of ordinary experiment we may collect it under a tall bell glass, as in consequence of its levity it will rise to the top and displace the air which the vessel contains. Ammonia has only one-half of the specific gravity of com mon air. Ammonia is absorbed by water with great rapidity, and the solution thus obtained is well known under tha name of water of ammonia. The bleaching of ammonia is fugitive, whereas that of potash is permanent, for a few drops of acid will instantly restore the colour which ammonia may have discharged. I f ammoniacal gas and muriatic acid gas be mixed together, a white powder ensues, which is sal ammoniac. Sal ammoniac is prepared from the impure liquor which the gas manufactures supply. The manufacturer of it adds to gas liquor a quantity of muriatic acid, and then evaporates the mixture, and crystallizes the muriate of ammonia. By re-dissolving and re-crystallizing it, he gets it nearly pure, and muriate of ammonia being volatile, be sublimes it in large iron vessels, and the result is, the fomation of perfectly pure sal ammoni a c. A pro d uct of the destructive distilla tion of coal which is of importance in several ways, is the sulphuretted hydrogen. Almost all coal contains a quantity of sulphuret of iron. There is consequently sulphuretted hydrogen manufactured; and the greatest difficulty in the manufacture of coal gas is to separate it from this product. The presence of sulphuretted hydrogen is indicated by its very disagreeable smell, resembling that caused by rotten eggs. We can easily see, therefore, that if such a smell accompanied coal gas into our apartments, they would be rendered uninhabitable. Sulphuretted hydrogen arises from a combination of sulphur with hydrogen. If we take a solution of copper, and add to it a solution of this "as in water, we get a dark-coloured precipitate. If we take a solution con taining quicksilver, and add to it a little of the solution of sulphuretted hydrogen, we have again a dark coloured pre cipitate; in fact sulphuretted hydrogen is the most delicate test for the presence of a metal which we possess. It is not only used to detect the presence of any metal, but of a parti cular one; for it' we take a little of the solution, and add to it the metal antimony instead of a dark-coloured precipitate, we obtain one of an orange colour, so that sulphuretted hydrogen constitutes one - of the most important tests we pos sess for indicating the presence of antimony. If we take the . ammoniacal liquor of the gas works and add to it a little of the solution containing quicksilver we have a dark liquor formed, showing the presence of sulphuretted hydrogen. In order to get rid of the sulphuretted hydrogen in gas manufac tolies, the gas is made to pass over trays containing lime, in order to induce the union of the sulphur with the lime. Pure carburetted hydrogen ought to give no smell when it is burnt. Cyanogen, the other product of the distillation of coal, is made use of in the arts for a variety cf processes, as it enters into the composition of Prussian Blue, Prussiate of Potash, and other interesting compounds, which we shall have to examine at a future period. Dr. Kane then described the construction of the gas meter, which he illustrated with sec tions and models, which had been kindly lent him for that purpose by Messrs. King and Edwards, but as with the aid of these illustrations we were scarcely able to comprehend the mechanical details, we despair of communicating them in a verbal manner. In the next lecture, which' will he delivered to-morrow evening, Dr. Kane will describe the manufacture Orraii7gircrtre a ppl Ica tichillirtV - I;OrtiTrfli'e' will also communicate some interesting facts connected with the manufacture of glass and porcelain, which want of time precluded him from giviniz in a former lecture.

A CAPRICIOUS PRIMA DONNA.—Gabrielli, the famous Italian singer, was so stubborn in her caprice that neither interest, or flattery, or.threats, or punishment, bad the least power over it. She is thus mentioned by a contemporary traveller in Italy:—" It is seldom she condescends to exert these wonderful talents, but most particularly if she imagines that such an exertion is expected. And instead of singing her airs as other actresses do, for the most part she hums them over; and no al.:. whatever is capable of making her sing when she does not choose it. The most successful ex pedient has ever been. found to prevail on her favourite lover (for she always has one) to place himself in the centre of the pit or the front box, and if they are on good terms, which is seldom the case, she will address her tender airs to him, and exert herself to the utmost." This, however, did not always succeed. The Viceroy, (of Naples,) who is fond of music, has tried every method with her to no purpose. Some time ago he gave a great dinner to the principal nobility of Palermo, and sent an invitation to Gabrielli to be of the party. Every other person arrived at the hour of invitation. The Viceroy ordered the dinner to be put back, and sent to let her know the company waited her. The messenger found he reading in bed. She said she was sorry for having made the company wait, and begged that he would make her apology, but that really she had entirely forgot her engage ment. This was forgiven, but at last she carried her wilful ness so far that the viceroy sent her to prison. There she gave magnificent feasts, released the debtors, and distributed large sums in charity. At length the viceroy gave up the struggle, and released her, amidst the acclamations of the people.—Houctrtli's Memoirs of the Musical Drama. JOURNEY FROM BUENOS AYRRS TO SANTA FE.—Consider, now, the extent of country I had travailed over, and ask me what, in all its length and breadth, I saw ? After I left Luxan, I saw two miserable villages, called Areco and Arrecife ; I saw three small towns, called San Pedro, San Nicolas, and the Rosario. containing each from five hundred to eight hundred inhabitants ; I saw one convent, called San Lorenzo, containing about twenty monks; and I saw also the post-house huts. — l saw thistles higher than the horse with the rider on his back; here and there a few clumps of the algarroba tree, long grass, innumerable herds of cattle, wild and tame deer, and ostriches bounding over the plain, bearded biscachas (a sort of rabbit) coming out at evening by groups from their thousand burrows which intersect the country; now the whirring partridge flying from under my horses' feet, and anon the little mailed armadillo making haste to get out of the way. Every now and then I came within sight of the splendid Parana. The town of Rosario is situated on a high precipitous bank which overlooks the river. But its broad, pellucid surface was undisturbed by any bark; its magnificent waters glided down in all the ma jesty, but all the seclusion, of nature; for here man has left her almost to herself. I saw a stream two miles broad and ten feet deep at the place from which I surveyed it; and that place was one hundred and eighty miles from the mouth of the Plate, and two thousand from it source. There was no cataract to impede navigation; no savages sought to in terrupt traffic, or required to be driven from the banks. The land on both sides was as fertile as nature could make it; and offered the impediment of neither wood nor stones to the plough. The climate*was most salubrious, and the soil had been in undisturbed possession of a 'European power for three hundred years. Yet all was still as the grave.—Robert son's Letters on Paraguay. HOW TO CLEAR GARDENS OF INSECTS.—Every amateur conversant with the management of a garden, however small, has experienced more or less annoyance from the maraud ing depredations of slugs. Their intrusions being generally committed in the night, or moist rainy weather, they rite more difficult to detect. Traps, such as cabbage leaves, are sometimes strewed over the ground, under which the slugs are decoyed, so that when the leaves are removed, they may readily he destroyed; so far, this answers the purpose 'toler ably well; but the following is the plan which, after. many trials, I find attended with the least trouble and expense. Take a handful or„ r two of decayed vegetable tops of any kind, pea or bean halm I generally prefer : this is laid down at short intervals throughout my beds or quarters, especially in the kitchen-garden, atnongst recently planted crops of greens, saladings, &c The decayed weeds, or pea halm, are shifted about a yard or so every morning, and the place where it lay watered with lime water, a very small por tion of which will quite destroy both slugs and worms. It may be well to observe, that any kind of vegetable substance in a decayed state will answer quite as well as pea or bean halm. In the flower garden I frequently cut down some of the herbaceous or annual plants that require it, and are nearest at hand, en a flat branch of a tree when very full of leaves; and this will generally last a week or ten days. Lime water I find to be a most essential thing, not only for slugs and worms, for the destruction of which it is of incal culable value. I frequently apply it on my grass sward, among the flower beds, and for plants in pots, also to box edging in the kitchen garden; and since I applied this freely, I have suffered but little from insects of any kind.— Fluricul!ural Magazine.

CIVILIZED AND SAVAGE LIFE.—To give yolf entire satis faction 1 must, I perceive, enter into the discussion of a sub ject on which I have often thought. My thoughts were my own, and being su different from the ideas entertained among your people, 1 should certainly have carried them with me to the grave, had I not received your obliging favour. . You ask me, then, whether in my opinion civilization is favourable to human happiness? In answer to the question, it may be an swered, that there arc degrees of civilization, from Cannibals to the most polite of European nations. The question is not, then, whether a degree of refinement is not conducive to hap piness; but whether you, or the nativesof this land, have ob tained this happy medium. On this subject we are at present, I presume, of very different opinions. You will, however, allow me in some respects to have had the advantage of yini in forming my sentiments. I was, Sir, born o f Indian parent s , and lived while a child among those whom von are pleased to call savages; I was afterwards sent to live among the white people, and educated at one of your schools; since which period I have been honoured much beyond my deserts, by an acquaintance with a number of principal characters' both in Europe and America. After all this experience, and after every exertion to divest myself of prejudice, lam obliged to give my opinion in favour of my own people.' I will now, as much as I am able, collect together, and set before you, some of the reasons that have influenced my judgment - on' the subject now before us. In the government you call civi lized, the happiness of the people is constantly sacrificed to the splendour of the empire. hence your codes of criminal and civil laws have had their origin ; hence your dungeons and prisons. I will not enlarge on an idea so singular in ci vilized life, and perhaps disagreeable to you, and will only observe, that among us we have no prisons ; we have no pom pous' parade of • courts; we have no written laws ; and yet judges are as highly revered amongst us as they are among von, and their decisions are as much regarded. Property, - to say the least. is as well guarded, and crimes are as imparti ally punished. We have among us no splendid villains above the control of our laws. Daring wickedness is here never suf fered to triumph over helpless innocence. The estates of widows and orphans are never devoured by enterprising sharpers. In a word, we have no robbery under the colour of law. No person among us desires any other reward for performing a brave and worthy action, but the consciousness of having served his nation. Our wise men arc called Fa thers; they truly sustain that character. They are always accessible, "I will not say to the meanest of our people, for we have none mean but such as render themselves so y their vices. The palaces and prisons among you form a most dread ful contrast. Go to the former places, and you will see per haps a deformed piece of earth assuming airs that become none but the Great Spirit above. Go to one of your prisons; here description utterly fails ! Kill them, if you please; killthein, too, by tortures; but let the torture last no longer than a day. Those you call savages, relent; the most furious of our tor mentors exhausts his rage in a few hours, and dispatches his unhappy victim with a sudden stroke. Perhaps it is eligible that incorrigible offenders should sometimes be cut off. Let it be done in a way that is not degrading to human nature. Let such unhappy men have an opportuuity, by their forti tude, of making an atonement in some measure for the crimes they have committed during their lives. But for what are many of your prisoners confined ?—for debt !--astonishing ! and will you ever again call the Indian nations cruel ? Li berty, to a rational creature, as much exceeds property as the light of the sun does that of the most twinkling star. ut you put them on a level, to the everlasting disgrace of civilization. I knew, while I lived among the white people, many of the most amiable contract debts, and I dare say with the best in tentions. Both parties at the time of the contract expect to find their advantage. The debtor, we will suppose, by a train of unavoidable misfortunes, fails; here is no crime, nor even a fault; and yet your laws put it in the power of the creditor to throw the debtor into prison and confine him there for life ! a punishment infinitely worse than death to a brave man ! And I seriously declare, I had rather die by the most severe tortures ever inflicted on this continent, than languish in one of your prisons for a single year. Great Spirit of the Uni verse !—and do you call yourselves Christians? Does then the religion of Him whom you call your Saviour, inspire this spirit, and lead to these pi acticea ? Surely no. It is recorded 'of him, that a 'bruised reed Ile newer broke. C ease, t h en, to call yourselves Cis ristians,lesVyisii pahligb to the world your hypocrisy. Cease, too, to call other nations savage, when you are tenfold more the children of cruelty than they.—Life of , Joseph Brant.—Thayendanegea, the Indian Chief. A Ftx.—" Recollect, when you are married you are tied by the leg, Sam—like one of our sodger disarters, you have a chain a danglin' to your foot, with a plaguy heavy shot to the end of it. It keeps you to one place most all the time, for you can't carry it with you, and you can't leave it behind you, and you can't do nothia' with it."--Sant Slick's Sayings and Doings. BROTHERLY LOVE AND CONDUCT.—Hints for my dear to be often looked over, with self examination :- 1. Endeavour to bear in mind that you will he often tempted to be not so kind to your brother as you ought to be. That you may be on your guard against the temptations when they do occur.-2. Recollect, if you can, what the occa sions are which have most commonly led you to be unkind to your brother, and keep them in yonr memory by now and then thinking them over; and when such occasions are about then be thinbly on yourgua - rd, and liftupYtiur heart in prayer to God, that you may be enabled to resist the temptation ; and if you have been enabled to get the better of it, lift up your heart to God in thanksgiving.-3. Remember that one season of temptation will always be when you are at play, especially where there are sides, whether is on your side or on the opposite side.-4. Remember it is not enough not to be unkind to —. We ought to be positively kind to all; but how much snore so to a brother!-5. Remember you will be tempted to command him too much. Guard, therefore, against the temptation.—Sometimes reflect that he and you are children of the same parents. Recollect him a little fat child, and how we used to kiss his'neck, and call him Bon. Recollect how you have knelt together in prayer with mamma and me, and how, especially on a Sunday, you have sat round the same table with us in peace and love. Try to place the scene before the eye of your mind, and recollect how happy your mamma and I have appeared to see you all good and happy around us.—Life of Wilberforce. NATIVES oF AUSTRALIA.—My experience (says Major Mitchell) enables me to speak in the most favourable terms of the aborigines, whose degraded position in the midst of the white population affords no just criterion of their merits. The quickness of apprehension of those in the interior was very extraordinary, for nothing in ail the complicated adaptations we carried with us either surprised or puzzled them. They are never awkward; on the contrary, in manners and gene ral intelligence, they appear superior to any class of white rustics that I have seen. Their powers of mimicry seem ex traordinary; and their shrewdness shines even through the medium of imperfect language, and renders them, in gene ral, very agreeable companions. As I was reconnoitring the grounds for a camp. r observed a native on the opposite bank; and, without been seen by him, I stood awhile to watch the habits of a savage man "at home." His hands were ready to seize. his teeth to eat, any living thing; his step, light and noiseless as that of a shadow, gave go intimation of his approach ; his walk suggested the idea of the prowling of a beast of prey. Every little tract or impression left on the earth-by the lower animals caught his keen eye; but the trees over head chiefly engaged his attention. Deep in the hollow heart of some of the upper branches was still hidden, as it seemed, the opossum ou which he was to dine. The wind blew cold and keenly through the lofty trees on the river margin, yet that broad brawny savage was entirely naked. Had I been unarmed, I had much rather met a lion than that sinewy biped; but I was on horseback, with pistols in my holsters, a broad river was flowing between us, and I over looked him from a high bank, and I ventured to disturb Isis meditations with a loud halloo; he then stood still, looked at me for about a minute, and then retired with that easy, bounding kind of a step, which may be termed a running walk, exhibiting an unrestrained facility of movement ap parently incompatible with dress of any kind. It is in bounding lightly, at such a pace, that with the addi tional aid of the " wammerah," the aboriginal native can throw his spear with sufficient force and velocity to kill the emu or kangaroo, _even when at their speed, PRISONERS IN WINDSOR CASTLE.—In the last annual volume published under the auspices of Lady Mary Fox, for the sole benefit of the Royal Schools of Industry at Ken sington. the Potteries, and Shepherd's Bush, is a record of " The Prisoners in Windsor Castle" not of James of Scotland, or of the gallant Surrey, but men of less note, but whose fate is equally interesting, and who suffered the penal ties of being loyal to their sovereign, during a season in which England was torn by contending feelings. Some of the faithful cavaliers, partisans,' and friends of Charles I. have traced with their own hands the records of their capti vity in the Norman tower at Windsor; and curious and interesting information is given concerning the fate and fortunes of several of these gallant and devoted friends of the king. The Norman tower is in that part of the castle which forms the western entrance, between the north terrace and the keep, and the apartments formerly appropriated to the captives are now occupied by the state housekeeper. Various alterations, which have been made from time to time, have doubtless obliterated many of the sad memorials, so that there now only remain four tablets on which the names of the prisoners are engraven. The d a t e in the majo rity of casesis 1648, a year fraught wiih disasters to the king. But there is one name which bears an earlier date—that of SirEdmund - _Fortescue, who appears to have been an inmate of these apartments in 1642-43, as a tablet over the fire-place in a room which commands a fine view of the Thames and of the distant hills of Berkshire is inscribed as follows: ` Sr...:Edinund - Fortescue Prisoner- lu This • Chamber The 12th Day of Januarie, 1642: Pour le Roy C." The next room contains inscriptions which were evidently connected — with the fatal conflict in South Wales several years after wards. They bear the date of 1618. The writer endeavours to trace the . subsequent foitunes of these individuals. The parliamentary victory of St. Fagons was celebrated by a day of thanksgiving throughout the kingdom. The estates of several gentlemen taken prisoners were sold, and the money given as a gratuity to the parliamentary soldiers. Deprived of property and liberty, the prisoners lingered in the Norman tower until death or the restoration put an end to their cap tivity. Another tablet is inscribed as follows :—" 1648; Antho: 13ayly. Pris: the 8. of Septem : Colchesr." Bay's' was one of the survivors of the memorable siege which Col cheater sustained on behalf of Charles. These brief memo rials of am age of singular fervour and activity, of changes of fortune to many, and events fraught with deep interest to all, are worthy of the chapter devoted to them in Lady Mary Fox's book. PERRANZABULOE OLD CHURCH.--As several accounts have been published of late in different quarters (many of a very exaggerated nature) of the ancient church which was discovered at Perraczabuloe about 30 years ago, it may not be amiss to present the public with a plain account of its present condition; and as many may yet be unacquainted with the existence of this interesting remain, we shall state all we could learn respecting it at a visit we paid it a few days ago. Much has been said from time to time of this building (fre quently occasioning great disappointment in those who have travelled &din far to see it,) and arguments have been drawn, from the fact that no vessels having been found in it for holy water, and no niches for saints, of the ancient purity of the English . Church. When discovered by the blowing away of the sand from above and around it, it was roofless, but marks of the beams in the walls were plainly visible. It had a door way, with a rough rubble semicircle arch over it, and an inscription. which, with the arch_ itself, has since been re moved. This door is near the western end of the southern wall; and, towards the eastern, is a little aperture for a win dow, the rubble arch over which still remains. The interior was covered with plaster, from a seam in which, about two thirds of the way from the western to the eastern end it.is conjectured a partition or railing went across, about four feet high, West of this seam, were stone seats round the walls, and against the eastern end was a small raised platform of masonry, supposed to have been an altar. The building measures, outside the wall, 304, feet long and 15M . wide, but from the thickness of the walls (2 31 feet . ) the interior dimen- Sions are considerably reduced The style of masonry is singularly rude, the strata of stones being placed horizon tally, vertically, and at all possible angles with the horizon. The walls are uncemented; but a kind of earthy mortar fills the interstices between the stones. A skeleton, said to have been of large. dimensions (supposed by 'some to have been that of St.Piram) was found in the church, with the skull placed between the legs. The bones crumbled with their own weight, except the teeth; which appeared as perfect as ever. This skeleton measured six feet from the shoulder's to the feet. No coffins appear to have been used, as uo vestises of ally hive been discovered with the numerous skeletons that have been disinterred here; but in their stead, stones were placed round the body, or, sometimes, -roof-shaped over it. The immediate neighbourhood •of the. chola..is strewed with human bones, whitened by exposure to the atmosphere, and great quantities - of teeth have been removed hence from their Jaws, in Which they have remained useless for perhaps 1000 years, to supply the deficiencies in those of the present generation.—Cornwall Royal Gazette. No RELIGION AMONG THE DAMARA& —Amongst the Damaras the author utterly failed to discover the slightest, trace of a religion. •` They believe," said th e interpreter, "in neither God nor Devil." Notwithstanding that some' people maintain that there is no nation on earth withoutre ligion in some form, however faintly it may be traced in their minds, yet, after much and diligent inquiry, I could not dis cover the slightest feeling of devotion towards a higher and , an invisible power among the Hill Dainartaso;dl?7, I ithaetri.ihead(.l, they any fear of an evil influence. They believe in nothing I , , , u ‘ t ve what ge t they r see—n " living Who gives t g h i e v es air—from you your the .o seasons'" a'n - swered - an old Damara.—" Why don't you keep sheep or goats, that you might live better than you do?" "We have been afraid of losing them; we wished to keep .them; but We thought the Boschmans would rob us of them. Now we' think ourselves strong enough to defend ourselves and our property against the Bosch:nans, and we must try and get ' flocks."—" When you die, what becomes of you ?" " When: we die we are buried, and are then no better than the beasts." —" Are you afraid to die?" " Yes, very much; and we are frightened when we see people ill, because we think it may be our turn next—we try not to think of dying." " Who do you think made the sun and moon, and all you see about you in the world?" "We don't know; we are a stupid people; we never think of this. What is the use of thinking of it? No one ever told us anything about these things; all we want to know is, where to yet a large animal to kill anti eat."—" Do you, on any occasion, go to any parti cular place, and make an offering there ? For instance, do you go to a hetip of stones, and throw . a stone on the heap ; or put a branch on it; or leave a bit of skin on a bush any where ?" " No, we never do these things; we are a stupid people; we don't know or do any thing but look for food, and dance when we have got plenty."—Sir James Alexan der's Expedition in Africa.

Since this day se'nnight we have had a little increase in the im ports of Irish Wheat, Oats, and Oatmeal, but those of Flour have still been very light. Several p arce l s o f Wh eat have also appeared coastwise. The foreign arrivals consist of upwards of 20,000 quar ters of Wheat, 1,600 quarters of Oats, an , l 7,000 barrels of Flour. Some portion of the Wheat and Flour has been released at the duty of 16s. Bd. per quarter. In the early part of the week there was little passin ,, in Wheat of any description, but, at yesterday's mar ket, the trade for old again assumed a firmer appearance, and a tolerably fair business was done, at fully Tuesday's rates :-9s. 9d. to 10s. for good runs of foreign red, up to 10s. 6d. to lus. 9d. per 701bs. for choice Dantzic. New Wheat has met a very dull sale ; latterly, Irish has been offering at Bs. 3(1. to Os. 3d. per 701b5., and several parcels remain over.—There has not been much done in Oats, Irish new have brought 3s. 1(1. to 3s. 3d. per 451b5., and old are worth similar rates. With only a mo d era t e demad, Flour must be noted ls. per pack, and Oatmeal fully as much per load cheaper : 50s. to 565. per 2801b5., are the current quotations for Irish Flour ; 265. to 275. for old, and 275. 6d. to 28s. per 2401b5, for new Meal—One or two small lots of English new Barley have ap. peared ; a little fine Norfolk has sold at 40s. per quarter.—No change as regards Beans or Peas.—The duty on Foreign Wheat is now 205 . . Bd. per quarter. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, OcT. 15. The currency of dry Butter is pretty nearly nominal, and stocks rapidly increase.—Pickled Butter commands our late quotation ; but we are of opinion the price will ere long be somewhat lower.— Some new North of Ireland Beef has got to market,—the price may he stated about 1625 . 6d. t o 105 s. 1 t i s generally anticipated that both this article and Pork will rule moderate the coming sea son —Bacon more enquired for, and about ls. dearer.
