LITERARY NOTICES. Blackwood's Magazine. August, 1838. This is an exquisite number of Blackwood. The articles, both poetry and prose, are all of them excel lent. "Sonnets by the Sketcher" are extremely beautiful. " Casimir Perier" is a continuation of the interesting biographical memoir which was begun in the last number. The running commentary on the sentiments of the distinguished foreigner is an admir able specimen of criticism. The article on the "Food of the Herring and the Samon" is full of curious facts, and will afford much gratification to our piscatorial friends. " Thoughts and Images" abound with strik ing and original reflections. "The Avenger" is a tale of deep and powerful interest, and is evidently • niv ,chant of Namur" is also a tale of great interest. "Christopher in his Cave" is full of critical lore and genuine poetry. Fraser's Magazine. August, 1838 . This i s a sparkling number. The essay on "The Birds of Aristophanes " is exquisitely beautiful. "Ensign O'Donoghue's Packet from Belgium" is as amusing as usual. " Our Club at Paris" introduces this month some very elaborate criticisms on works of art, as well as some very interesting facts connected with the history of the horse. "A Tale of the Hep tarchy" is full of power and pathos. The important paper on "Treason within the Church" demands a separate notice, which we shall bestow upon it in our next. "Mr. Yellowplush's Ajew" is extremely rich in its humour and cutting in its satire. "The His torical and Personal History of the Scottish Press" discloses some curious facts. "Little Men and Little Measures" is worthy the pen of Junius. The account of the " English Officers in the Carlist Camp" con tains some very interesting particulars illustrative of the present war in Spain. " Coronation Claims" is a capital satire. "Blue Friar Pleasantries" are redolent with the praises of "mutton" in all its varieties. The Dublin University Magazine. August, 1838. This excellent conservative periodical is conducted with a degree of zeal and ability which is worthy of its well-established reputation. "The Rubi of the Sea" is concluded in the present number. "The Drunkard's Dream" is a very powerful tale. The review of "Ritter's History of Ancient Philosophy" is very well written. The author takes a very just view of the vat im of the ancient philosophy. .‘ Anthologia Germanica" for this month contains some spirited translations from M. Klaur Klattowski's publications. Some of the poems are whimsically absurd. In the "By-ways of Irish History" we have some very im portant documents connected with the education of Roman Catholic priests. " Poor Margaret" is a very pathetic tale, as is also " The Pearl Necklace." " The Student of Leipsic" is another excellent tale. The reviews of "Lights and Shadows of Irish Life," " Lewis' Topographical Dictionary," and " Poems by Miss Hamilton" are temperate and judicious. The Farmer's Magazine. August, 1838. The mass of intelligence presented in this magazine is of the highest importance to all who are interested in agricultural pursuits. A brief enumeration of the principal articles in the present number will suffice to show the variety and extent of the information which it affords. The following are the most important papers:—"Encouragement of Agriculture in Ame rica":—"Wbat Quantity of Manure should be applied to tb Acre ?"—" On Breeding and Rearing Stock" —' 4l the Gad-fly"—"On the Corn Laws"—" On Top Dressing of Pasture Land"—" History of the Manures—Salt"—"Lucerne and Saintfoin"—" Sys tem of Culture" —" Directions for Preparing and Sowing Wheat"—" The Turnip Fly"—"Application of Steam Power to Agriculture"—" Couch Grass," &c., &c. The present number contains a plate of three Leicester Wethers, and a plan for a farm of 300 acres. No farmer should be without this magazine. The Sportsman. August, 1838. The illustrations to the present number of this very spirited magazine are very beautiful. "The Sailing Match" is a highly characteristic sketch by Beckwith. " The Stricken Deer" is also by the same artist. The literary articles in the Sportsman are extremely in teresting. "The Dying Stag" is an excellent accom paniment to the plate. "The Trout, and how to Catch bim" abounds with much curious information. The " Observations on a Domestic Rabbit Warren" merit attention. The article on "Cricket" is written by a genuine sportsman. The "Sportin g Biography" continues as attractive as ever. "The reat Western Jungle" is a capital tale. The "Fishing Excursion into Wales" originally appeared in the columns of the Liverpool Standard. The paper on the " Migration of Birds" forms an excellent chapter in natural history. " The Laws of Coursing" should be widely dissemin ated. The miscellaneous intelligence is as copious as usual. The New Monthly Belle Assemblee. August, • 1838. This agreeable repository of light literature merits an extensive circulation. The number of amusing tales which it contains cannot fail to recommend it to the patronage of those who are fond of works of fic• tion. In the present number eve have the following: "Nights at the Kiosk"—" The Poet's Love"—" T•he Tempter," and "The Story of Emma Walters." There are several papers of a more literary character which are well worth perusal. The account of the coronation, with which the number closes, is very opportunely introduced into a work designed for the female subjects of Her Majesty. The pictorial illus trations accompanying the Belle Assemblee are ad mirably executed. The Asiatic Journal. August, 1838. The variety and importance of the intelligence which, is monthly presented in this excellent periodical render it one of the most valuable publications which emanate from the metropolitan press. Its original es says and translations have done eminent service to the cause of oriental literature ; whilst the commercial, civil, and military news with which it abounds make it a valuable acquisition to the merchant, the statist, and the professional man. To all who have any interest in the gigantic colonies which Great Britain possesses in the eastern hemisphere the Asiatic Journal must prove highly interesting. Parbury's Oriental Herald. August, 1838. Similar in character to its older competitor, the Asiatic Journal, this publication also presents a very large and interesting fund of information on the af fairs of the east. The present number is exceedingly attractive, supplying as it does the place of several weeks' publication of all the oriental newspapers. It affords the cream of the British Indian press, and a complete and readable digest of all the despatches re cently received from the various presidencies. The shipping news is very copious, as are also the various prices current. The Churchman. August, 1838. This very cheap and unpretending periodical conti nues to win its way into public estimation by the bold and unflinching style of its original articles, by its strenuous advocacy of constitutional principles, and by its powerful support of the Established Church of England. We have great pleasure in bearing our testimony to the temperate manner in which it is at present conducted. Several of the papers in the present number will be found possessed of no ordinary degree of merit, especially "Thoughts on the late Coronation"—" The Church of England independent of the Church of Rome in all Ages"—" The Unity and Infallibility of the Church of Rome"—" The Church —its Expediency"—and "The Reading Desk." L w :r.' Tracts of the Anglican Fathers. Part I. Cranmer. London : Painter. To those who wish to know what the opinions of the leading reformers of the Church of England were, when their minds were beginning to be enlightened respecting the theological errors of the Church of itqme, this ch ea p re-issue of the " Tracts of the An glican Fathepa will prove highly acceptable. The pr ice o f t6e series. Places it within reach of every one. The Church Discipline Bill.* Speech of the Bishop of Exeter. London : Painter. This splendid speech •of that able advocate of the Established Church, the talented Bishop of Exeter, was delivered in the Howie of Lords, on the 26th of July, on moving that "the Church Discipline Bill be read that day six months." It produced a very power ful effect when delivered, and we are heartily glad to find that it has been thus published i n t h e s h a pe of a paniphlet for general distribution. It merits an ex tensive circulation, which we hope it will obtain. Manual of the Evidences of Christianity; chiefly inttnded for Young Persons. By James Steele, author o. "The Philosophy of the Evidences of Christianity," &c. Edinburgh: Johnstone. This valuable tract will be found a very usefulauxiliary in the religious in struction of youth. The subject of the Christian Ev idences is one, e w which is too much neglected in our public and private seminaries, and we should, therefore, rejoice to find a work so admirably calculated as the one before us to supply the place of more voluminous publications, ge nerally introduced as a class-book into every school in. the country. The author has arranged his arguments under the following - heads :—" Christianity —its lation to Natural Religion"—"The Objection derived from the late appearance of Christianity ansvvered"— "The Kind of Evidence for the Facts of the Gospel History"—" External Evidences of Christianity"— " Prophecy"—" The Witnesses to the great Facts of the Gospel History"—" Miracles"—" Prophecies de livered by our Saviour"—"The Propagation of the Gospel"—"Transmission of the Sacred Books of the New Testament"—" The Internal Evidence of Chris tianity"—" The Conduct of our Saviour while on Earth considered in Relation to the Evidences of Christianity"—and the " Witness of the Spirit"— Fule-hof these topics is handled with great ability, and In language at once clear and concise.

We Taioicif P4O tht this plea3iDg poem by Mr, s .X 2 17' r t.. " . " -- • ct Rose has reached a second edition. It well merits the patronage which has been bestowed upon it. The in- terest attached to the subject must prove a powerful auxiliary in aiding its circulation. Wilson's Historical, Traditionary, and Imaginative Tales of the Borders. Part 48. Edinburgh : Su therland. The many pleasing tales in this excellent series will afford a high degree of satisfaction to many read ers "South of the Tweed," as well as beyond the borders. We rejoice to find that the circulation of these admirable tales is rapidly on the increase. The present number is fully equal to any of its predeces sors. table, and Mineral Kingdoms. Edited by Neville Wood, Esq. London : Whittaker and Co. The August number of this valuable monthly pe riodical, devoted to the study of Natural History, is exceedingly rich in original articles, and contains many papers that must prove exceedingly valuable to the professed naturalist, as well as interesting to the public at large. We can only allude in passing to the Notes on Rare Birds obtained during the winter of 1837-8, by Edward Blyth. This scientific naturalist is indefatigable in the department to which he turns his attention, namely, Ornithology, and has enriched the monthly numbers of this periodical with a variety of interesting facts, Since the establishment of the Ornithological Society in London, Mr. Blyth has been elected Curator, and has read some valuable papers before that society, which have afterwards appeared in the Naturalist. The editor has excellent reviews on the Wonders of Geology, by Gideon Mantel, LL.D., F.R.S., and on the Treatise on Molluscous Animals, by the Rev. John Fleming, D.D., F.R.S.E., M.W.S. The plan of the presentwork appears to us excellent, the first part being devoted to original papers, many of which are contributed by the leading naturalists of the day. A portion is set aside for correspondence, in which many highly interesting and valuable facts appear, which might not be of sufficient length or importance to con stitute a separate article. The Chapter of Criticism is also an excellent feature of the work, and the Chap ter of Miscellanies contains a variety of interesting memoranda, short extracts from the scientific journals, and many facts which will ultimately prove a valuable addition to our stock of knowledge, and which might otherwise be lost if it were not for the present arrange ment. The Editor also gives extracts from the foreign periodicals, and abstracts of the proceedings of Natural History Societies, all of which, combined, present an immense mass of valuable matter, which will prove the means of keeping the Naturalist informed as to what is passing round him, and which will enable him to keep pace with the rapid acquisitions that are con tinually making to our knowledge of the Natural Sciences. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE CORN LAWS. (From the Morning Herald.) At the Birmingham meeting on Monday, a repea of the corn laws was stated to be one of the great ob jects to the attainment of which Mr. Attwood and his friends propose to devote themselves. A repeal of the corn laws would confiscate four fifths of the agricultural capital of England—would destroy our home market—increase the wretchedness of the labouring poor to an extent absolutely intole rable—render the discharge of public and of private obligations, impossible—and precipitate the country into a revolution of blood. Knowing how inevitable such results are, if the corn laws be repealed, the farm ers of England are apt to believe the repeal of these laws to be scarcely in the list of possibilities. It may be well for them to distrust their fixed conclusions on this subject. Changes quite as fatal in their tendency —although not so comprehensive in their range of mischief—,have been in regular progression duringthe last twenty years ;—and each of those changes, before it took place, appeared as little likely to occur, as a repeal of the corn laws may appear probable, at the present moment. The crusade against native indus try which whig " philosophers" projected, and which whig statesmen and their pupils have led, has been in regular progress for twenty years past- Our labour ing poor are doomed, day by day, to severe competi tion with machinery, and with foreign producers. Our system of cotton manufactures—that system which provided profitable employment for the young, without robbing them of health and innocence—has long since given way to our factory system, with all its unutter able catalogue of physical and moral horrors! Nearly a million of ingenious, intelligent, and most patient operatives—the hand-loom weavers—have been robbed by the legislature, of a market for their labour, and calmly handed over to a struggle with starvation—a struggle that must terminate in the violent extinction of the class! The market-gardeners of Kent, and of the other fruit -growing counties are now about to be sacrificed—and the farmers of England will, in due time, be added to the list of victims to the principles of " philosophical" legislation. Why should the far mers hope to escape ? Will they appeal to the fact, that their landlords are concerned in the framing of the laws, and, therefore, never will consent to. sacrifice the cultivators of the soil ? Let not farmers deceive themselves! The landlords of England—if they had understood, in the faintest degree, even their own permanent personal interests—(to say nothing of the great interests of the nation and of humanity)—never would have condescended to sacrifice the hand-loom weavers, nor would they endure, for an hour, the sys tem which dooms tens of thousands of helpless child ren to slavery in cotton factories. The landlords of England, be it recollected, moreover, are sinking, more and more, every year under the dominion of the " philosophers" and the schemers ; and many of them begin, actually, to believe, that a repeal of the corn laws—although it might ruin the present race of far mers—would not injure, permanently, the market va lue of land. Lord Fitzwilliam openly avows this opi nion, and his lordship is not without many silent fo - lowers amongst the landlords who take part in the business of legislation, and who would not be unwil ling, by sacrificing the farmers, to gain a respite from unpopularity. It is true, undoubtedly, that as yet the parliament ary landlords seem to stand by the farmers; and it is no less true, that Lord Melbourne has declared his unwillingness to meddle with the corn laws. The landed aristocracy, however, has shown itself, of late years, willing to oppose but feeble resistance to the march of hurly-burly innovation on the rights of the producing classes; and as for Lord Melbourne, he is but the creature of " the pressure from without." Let but an extensive system of agitation be organised — let but a few large meetings, like thatof Birmingham, send forth their voices—and the farmers will be sacri ficed, as the hand-loom weavers have been sacrificed in times past. Let the farmers ponder gravely on the dangers of their position. They can trust to nothing but their' wri . energies. The harvest promises to be a deficient one. Prices are rising. Foreign wheat will soon be introduced in immense quantities, until English wheat will, in all probability, sink to five shil lings a bushel. The supply may, after all, prove de ficient. The moment prices shall, in these circum stances, rise again, an outcry will be raised against the corn laws. Their repeal will be the consequence; and then—the beginning of the end will indeed have arriVed! Let the farmers look to it ! GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF THE CHURCH PARTY OVER THE POLITICAL DISSENTERS AND INFlDELS.—Yesterday a vestry was held at St. Peter's Church, in this town, to consider the propriety of granting a church-rate for the present year. The more factious and violent among the Dissenters had been busily employed in organising a formidable opposition to the rate, and had put forth handbills in which they summoned the parishoners to oppose that "accursed impost," as they termed it. The consequence was a very full meeting and a proportionate degree of excitement. Mr. Alderman Webb proposed that a rate of the amount asked by the church wardens be granted, which was seconded by Mr. G. Davies, of the Ivy bush. Mr. J. P. Davies, after a short address, moved to adjourn the consideration of the question for 12 months, which being seconded by Mr. W. Jones, one of the proprietors of the Old Foundry, was put to the meet ing by the chairman, Archdeacon Bevan. The show of hands was declared to be in favour of the adjournment, when a poll was demanded on behalf of the Church party. It was then arranged by both parties that the poll should immedi ately commence and be kept open till six o'clock; at the close of which the rate was declared to be carried by a ma jority of 63. The announcement of the numbers was received with a strong demonstration of feeling. Last year, the political Dissenters and Infidels succeeded in procuring the rejection of the rate,—this year a rate is carried by a ma jority of 63 persons. If this be not re-action we know nut what re-action is.—Carmarthen Journal. MOUNT TABOR, THE SCENE OF THE TRANSFIGURATION. —lt stands perfectly isolated; rising alone from the plain in a rounded tapering form, like a truncated cone, to the height of 3,000 feet, covered with trees, grass, and wild flowers from the base to its summit, and presenting, the combination, so rarely found in naturalscenery, of the bold and the beautiful. At twelve o'clock, we were at the miserable village of Debo rah, at the foot of the mountain, supposed to be the place where Deborah the prophetess, who then judged Israel, and Barak and "ten thousand men after him, descended upon Sisera, and discomfited him and all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him." The men an& boys had all gone out to their daily labour, and we tried to persuade a woman to guide us to the top of the mountain, but she turned away with contempt; and, having had some practice in climbing, we moved around its sides until we found a regular path , an ascended nearly to the r top without dismounting. Th e p ath wound around the mountain, and gave us a view from all its different sides, step presenting something new, and more and more beautiful, until it was completely forgotten and lost in the exceeding loveliness of the view from the summit. Stripped of every association, and considered merely as an elevation commanding a view of unknown valleys and mountains, I never saw a mountain which, for the beauty of scene, better repaid the toil of ascending it ; and I need not say what an interest was given to every feature when we saw in the valley beneath the large plain of Jezreel, the great battle ground of nations; on the south the supposed range of Her mon, with whose dews the Psalmist compares the "pleasant ness of brethren dwelling together in unity;" beyond, the ruined village of Endor, where dwelled the witch who raised up the prophet Samuel; and near it the little city of Main, where our Saviour raised from the dead the widow's son; on the east, the mountains of Gilboa, " where Saul, and his armour bearer, and his three sons, fell upon their swords, to save themselves from falling into the hands of the Philis tines;" beyond, the Sea of Galilee, or Lake of Genesareth, the theatre of our Saviour's miracles, where, in the fourth watch of the night, he appeared to his terrified disciples, walking on the face of the waters; and to the north, on a lofty eminence, high above the top of Tabor, the city o f Japhet, supposed to be the ancient Bethulia, alluded to in the words, " a city that is set ou a bill cannot be hid."-- Stephens' i inci!ents of Trate, MECHANICS' INSTITUTION. LECTURES ON THE STRUCTURE .4ND HISTORY OF THE ARTICULATED MOLL USCG US CLASSES OF ANIMALS. On Wednesday evening Dr. Grant delivered his third lecture, upon the Cirrhopods and Annelides. There are perhaps few subjects in zoology which are less attractive than the study of worms. They are repulsive to the eye when superficially viewed, but they are nevertheless well calculated, when closely examined, to exhibit to us the wonders of creation. These creatures are extensively distri buted over the lands and waters of our globe, and are com prehended in two divisions, so very different as to appear to belong to distinct classes. Those called barnacles belong to the cirrhopods. They breathe by means of gills—they are all marine—none of them inhabit the fresh waters, which are to them poisonous, or are capable of living on the dry land. They have much perplexed zoologists, on account of their envering- in the adult state. - That covering consists of laminated shells, which have a similarity, with regard to their chemical character, with the mollusca, therefore they are commonly placed, even now, among the molluscous animals. The professor of zoology, however, divides the animal kingdom into groups, not according to the exterior, but according to their interior organization. Now these cirrhopods are, in reality, articulated animals, although they are covered with shells like the mollusca. livery one must have seen barnacles, for they attach themselves in great numbers to the bottoms of ships, floating timber, and rocks. Some of them are sessile, and others pedunculated. The former attach themselves to floating bodies by means of shells, and the latter by means of long fleshy elastic tubes, by which they are enabled to move themselves to and fro to a great distance. Their shells are composed of carbonate of lime. Nature is very sparing of the phosphate of lime, which she only gives to the skeletons of vertebrated animals, which are des tined to sustain great hardships and live a long time. A double series of ganglia, distributed along the ventral surface, deter mine the class of the animal. It has six s trong pair of feet, covered extensively upon their inner surface with cirrhi or cilia. The nerve which extends along the ventral surface of the body, sends forth a number of sensitive nerves to the feet so as to give them the power of feeling and moving, by which means, upon the least alarm, those legs are withdrawn within the shells. Notwithstanding the apparently protected state of the sessile species, crabs and birds detach them from the rocks, and feed largely upon them. The epidermic covering of the trunk of the pedunculated cirrhopods passes all over the back of the shell, and forms a portion of the margin. Within the peduncle there is a strong muscular system, by which this organ is enabled to contract longitudinally and transversely. Mr. Thomson made a curious discovery in the bay of Cork. He placed in a basin of water a number of creatures which at first appeared to be monoculi, and, to his astonishment, in a short time they were metamorphosed into barnacles. Subsequently several German philosophers have pursued the inquiry, and the developemeut of the barnacle is now well understood. They have eyes in their first state of being, but not when they become transformed on reach ing the adult period. Thie shove the beauty of nature; for as eyes are necessary to a creature whilst roaming freely through the sea, they would be productive of misery to fixed creatures like the barnacle, because they would indicate evil which could not be avoided. These creatures, by means of their cilia, cause currents of water to pass through them. They subsist upon the small portions of nutritious matter which are constantly passing along in the ocean. Near the mouth of the creature are glands for the purpose of digesting the food which they partake of. The red-blooded worms form a tribe of animals far larger than the barnacles, and belong to the articulated class by vir tue of the joints of the trunk and their want of the articu lated members of locomotion. These animals are met with in mud, sand, and gravel, and subsist upon animal matters. They have been called annelides, because their bodies are co vered with rings. The common sand worm is a very com mon specimen of these creatures. The corals and mollus cous tribes of animals present us with blood of a slight red dish tinge, but nothing approaching in intensity to that of the red-blooded worms. They are chiefly aquatic animals, and are covered with a thin shell of carbonate of lime. In the annelides we fine the first approach to a ventricle. A number of them, which are to be found upon the sea-shore, are of surpassing beauty in point of lustre and beautiful red colour. They are incessantly employed in passing minute portions of sea sand through their bodies. The earth worm in like manner may he observed passing the soil through its intestinal canal. The earth worm is highly organised, and, unlike the other creatures we have been contemplating, does not breathe through the mouth. No vertebrated creature breathes in that mariner. On the side of the earth worm we find a number of little vents, which are its respiratory or gans. The blood-vessels run beside them. If these were divided we should have the respiratory organs of the leech, and if they were ramified we should have those of the sco lopendrw. It is curious to observe by what easy stages na ture advances to her chef d'ceurre, the lungs of man. As the various organs of the worm are equally distributed throughout its body, the creature may be cut into various sections, each of which will per form the functions necessary for the preservation of life. On the anterior part of the leech there are ten organs of vision—beautiful black eyes, with transparent convex cornea; and when the creature has one of its eyes touched, you will see it is capable of sensibly moving its eyeball. It has large optical nerves. The trunk of the red worms is so much subdivided for the purpose of enabling the animal to move freely in the earth and water. As we advance to such a creature as the leech, a creature highly organized and fitted for sucking blood, that highly nutritious matter, we observe that the nervous system has not, as in the worm, one ganglion for each segment, but that there are three segments to be passed over before we come to one, and then there are three separate ganglions to the segment. The leech has been employed for more than 1000 years as a bleeder. From the superficial nature of the wound, and the perfect command we have over the locality, as well as the amount of the abstraction, there is scarcely a crea ture more useful to man. When it begins to bleed it makes three incisions, through which it sucks the blood into its alimentary canal. The barnacles, from the muscous nature of their food, require strong salivary glands as chemical agents in the conversion of their food, but the leech has no need of these, as the blood is in itself highly nutritious. The leech has a large stomach, terminating in a pyloric valve. The duodenum is much shorter than the stomach. There are a number of small tubes in connection with the duodenum of the leech, which completely remove every difficulty, if their be any, in the comprehension of the human liver. In the leech we have the liver presented to us in its first condition. The earth worm possesses a beautiful follicular liver. The insect known as the common sea louse has a liver a stage higher than that of the leech. We cannot conclude this rapid view of the organs of these beautiful creatures—the worms—without observing the myriads of them which are spread over the conti nents, islands, and waters of the globe. You cannot set foot upon the shores of the Mersey without treading upun num bers. No worm, or any other creature, is capable of extract mg an atom of nutritious matter from sand or soil ; but you will perceive, ou putting a small portion of sand before the microscope, that it swarms with living beings and the decom posed matter which is so universally diffused by the ocean. Some portions of this matter passes off in air, others in water, and a remaining portion mingles with the soil. No thing is lost of matter on this earth: the organic is especially husbanded. We see in these humble worms creatures in cessantly employed in extracting from the waste sand of the sea the organic matter which it contains and converting it into their own likeness. In this manner the sand of the ocean, and the soil of the dry land, is perpetually sifted in search for organic matter, and thus the very carcase of mighty man himself, after it has crumbled into dust, is made subser vient to the existence of animated beings, which again are the prey of animals of a higher class in the creation. In this manner do we find how beautifully the economy of nature is attended to, and that there is not a portion of the works of the Creator which, when properly considered by a reflecting mind, do not excite the loftiest feelings of wonder and admi ration. The Mantellian Museum has been bought by government, and will be removed towards the close of the year from Brighton to the British Museum. The specimens amount to nearly 20,000.

RRUSSELS, AUGUST 2.—This morning a trial was made on the iron railroad of a perpetual motion, which is intended to supersede steam in drawing the trains. This unknown. which has excited the solicitude of our greatest capitalists, was such, that it forced the waggons off the rails after they had run about three yards. The whole line of railway from London to Birmingham is expected to be partially opened next week, and to be opened to public travelling on the 10th of September, when the London mail will arrive in this town at six o'clock in the morning. Upwards of SOO horses are at present employed in working the omnibuses and carriages between .Denb - igh Hall and Birmingham. most of which will be thrown on th e market, on the railway being finished.—Shrewsbury Chrunide Nor A BAD IDEA.---In Georgia, the fire companies are provided with a species of torpedo, with which they blow up, buildings when necessary to arrest the progress of a fire.

HEALTH OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK.—From the 7th to the 14th, the city inspector reports 229 deaths : 75 men, 56 women, 45 boys, and 53 girls. There are of these, eight cases of apoplexy, six of congestion of the brain, which are certified by the physicians as having been caused by exposure to the sun's heat; seventeen are returned as such, and the twenty-eight unknown, —disease satisfactorily ascertained as arising from the same cause,—make, with the twelve cases Of drinking cold water, the total number of seventy-one sudden deaths last week, in consequence of the extreme heat—New York Paper. CHESNUT.-A gardener at Metz has grafted a chestnut upon an oak, and the experiment has been perfectly success ful.

I am to—to"—" To offer me your heart and hand , I sup pose ?" " Yes." " Well, do it like a man, if you can, and not like a monkey." " Plague take your self-possession!" exclaimed I, suddenly starting up from my knee, upon which I had fallen in an attitude that might have won the approval of even Madame de Maillaird Fraser ; " you make me ashamed of myself." " Proceed, sir," said Flora. " You like brevity, it would seem !" " Yes," said Flora. " Then-- will you marry me?" " Yes." " Will you give me a kiss ?" You may take one." I took the profered kiss. " Now, that is going to work rationally," said Flora; "when a thing's to be said, why may' it nut be said in two seconds, instead of stuttering and stammering, two hours about it?

MUSICAL TAsTr.—A late noble statesman, more famous for his wit than his love of music, being asked why he did not subscribe to the ancient concerts, and it being urged as a reason for it that his brother, the Bishop of W did; " Oh," replied his lordship, " if I was as deaf as my brother, I would subscribe too." Let any one compare, for a moment, our cathedral archi tecture with the buildings of modern times. Westminster Abbey, for instance, with structures which surround, and are about to surround it, and he must unhesitatingly admit how little the moderns have to boast of in this respect ; and that the days of what are called " monkish ignorance" possessed infinitely more knowledge and skill on this head, at least, than any which have succeeded them. THE TOUCH.—The excellence of the sense of touch has led some to consider, that the erroneous impressions to which the other senses are liable are corrected by it. Strictly speaking, however, the senses cannot correct each other, since the sensations they communicate to the mind are of a different - character. The eye can convey no idea of sound, nor the ear of colour; nor can the touch furnish impressions of either the one or the other. It is true, that where neces sity has called forth the powers of the sense of touch, as in the blind, the accuracy with which they are enabled to judge of the properties of bodies is truly astonishing to those who enjoy the use of all the senses, and can select one or another for obtaining information respecting external objects, as may best suit their purpose. But where the evidence is chiefly or entirely to be derived from one sense , and wher e it is 'fre quently called into operation, and much attention paid to its reports, its capabilities become vastly increased. Dr. Sau derson, professor of mathematics at Cambridge, and who was blind from the second year of his age, could distinguish false from true medals. Rudolphi mentions the case of Baczko, who could distinguish cloth of equal quality, but of different colours. Black appeared to him among the roughest and hardest; to this succeeded dark blue and dark brown, which he could not distinguish from each other; neither could he distinguish the colour of cotton or silk stuffs. There are many other remarkable instances of the wonderful delicacy reached by this sense from its cultivation by the blind. But in all such cases there merely exists a greater degree of per fection in the exercise of its own powers, not an assumption of the peculiar function belonging to the others. liven the touch is liable to error in some instances. If two fingers are crossed over each other, and a pea rolled between them, we receive the impression of the presence of two distinct objects, though we very well know that there exists only one; nor does sight in this instance remove the deception. However, in this case the organs are placed in an unnatural position; and there is every reason to believe, that, by continuing the practice for a length of time, the illusion would vanish.— Chambers's Journal. WINTER IN SCANDINAVIA. — The winters are long and severe, lasting from November to April or May, and some times extending their dreary reign over the half of June. Frost and snow commence in November, when the whole earth is enveloped in a white mantle. The lakes and rivers are converted into solid ice. The clouds of vapour sent up by the dashing cataracts return in showers of Sil , "Y 'and, reflecting in the solar rays all the prismatic hues of the rain bow. The trees and objects in the fields are fringed with hoary ornaments; carriages pass noiselessly over layers of snow in the streets; and the houses, decked in the fantastic embroidery of shining icicles, resemble enchanted palaces. To protect their apartments against this intensity of cold, the inhabitants use stoves, which are ingeniously contrived to diffuse a large degree of heat with a small quantity of fuel. They also fortify their persons with a double or triple supply of apparel, consisting of furs, pelisses, gloves, galoches, jack boots lined with flannel, and other requisites, which extend a Swedish wardrobe to an inconvenient size. In Jamtland and around Tornea the climate is so rigorous that the lakes sometimes remain congealed during the whole year; and the natives are obliged to cut their crops green, before they are buried under wreaths of snow. Over all Scandinavia, the dreary season of nature is the most favourable part of the year for the activity of commercial transactions, and the mu tual intercourse of the inhabitants. The merchant finds a path to distant markets across the solid gulfs, and over hard ened snows, which no other process could render accessible. Pleasures and amusements are kept up in constant succes sion. In the environs of the town, the plains and borders of the lakes are converted into frozen race-courses, w here the elegance and richness of the sledges, the splendour" of the harnessing, and the beauty of the horses, fleet as the wind, and making the air resound with the clear tinkling of their little bells, present a scene surpassing in gaiety and anima tion the more brilliant assemblages that crowd the public promenades in softer climes. Military bands often accom pany these lively fetes; and the contest is occasionally pro longed by torch-light, which gives a picturesque effect to the trains of joyous carriages, moving with great velocity over the whitened fields.—Edinburgh Cabinet Library. BANKOK, THE CAPITAL OF SIAM.—A visit to a distin guished officer of the government, entitled Phya-ratsa-pa vade, will afford a glimpse of this strange place. A few mi nutes brought us to the dwelling of the " big officer," as the worthy captain of the port was pleased to call him. It is a large building of one story, enclosed in a spacious yard, and the centre of the front opens upon a broad veranda, expo sing a hall of eighty by forty feet, the lofty ceiling of which is supported by numerous wooden columns, The floor is elevated about four feet above the ground, and was covered with mats. The ball was furnished with chairs, tables, and Chinese mirrors; and many lamps hung from the ceiling. Close to the middle of the back wall reclined the great man on a dills, clothed in a silk sarong. Before him, on the dais, were his patents of nobility and badges of offices, consisting of a tea-kettle, chunam box, spittoons, and drinking cup, all of pure gold. To his left lay crouched on the ground a fan bearer, and a sword-bearer, 'and on either hand were his nu merous slaves and inferior officers. Instead of looking at the dress of a Siamese to estimate his rank, it is necessary to cast the eye upon the slave following him, who bears upon a tray the badge which designates his master's rank. Tea kettles of gold and silver, plain or ornamented, are pa tents of the highest grades of nobility, and are presented by the king as commissions of office. A. row of chairs stood beneath the veranda, facing the Phya-ratsa-pa-vade, for our accommodation, to which we were showed by Piadade, who acted as interpreter. He bent down upon his elbows and knees, and crawled in the most abject manner to a spot half way between us and our host, and there remained during the interview. At the foot of each one of the pillars of the front row were spittoons and quivers of cigars, placed on low stools. The doors leading to the inner apartments were con cealed by silk screens. A crowd of naked rabble was in the Yard, and another beyond the wall, gazing upon us to g ratif y 'their idle curiosity. flie scene was opened by the son of the general, who received us on our landingat Bankok. Dressed in his gaudy uniform and cocked hat, he crawled along at our feet, on his knees and one hand, as well as he might, offering cigars with the other to each of us as he passed : he then returned in the same manner with a lighted candle and paper matches. A few common-place questions were asked and answered through Padiade, who made a salam at the be. ginning and end of every sentence. A fter a few minutes, the Ratsa-pa-vade asked us whether our quarters and situa tion were agreeable, and hoped we would waive all ceremony and make ourselves quite at ease, Tables; loaded with fruits and sweetmeats of various kinds, were now wheeled up be fore us ; and during the interview, tea, without sugar or milk, was served several times. At the .request of the•Ratsa-pa vade, our band played several airs, which, he was pleased to say;was the best music he had ever heard. At the end of halt' an hour we took leave by. shaking hands, and returned in the order we came. Very soon after.reaching the house, several slaves arrived laden with fruit presented by the offi cer We had just visited. 114 s an invariable custom in Siam to send presents immediately, by way of showing that his visit has been acceptable.—Rusehenberger's Voyaue. NEILOHERRY fitt.r.s.—A small tract of elevated land, in the midst of the hottest regions of Southern India, enjoys one of the most healthy climates of the whole globe. Surrounded by burning plains, either parched by heat, or teeming with the onwholesome luxuriance of tropical vegetation, and abounding in venomous reptiles, this happy region is blessed with a temperature, but slightly varying through the year. Much of its surface is one universal verdure : here and there are groves, hardly extensive enough to be called forests, of lofty trees, hung with gigantic jessamines, and other sweet scented creepers: in many parts it is well cultivated, and is throughout entirely exempt from serpents, white ants, and musquitoes, the pests of India. This region is known by the name of the Neilgherry Hills (from the Sanskrit Vila, bine, and girl, a mountain,) or the Blue Mountains of Coimbatore. it is too small and too recently known to be marked upon our maps, excepting on those of very large size; but its site may be known by the intersection of two lines, one drawn from Seringapatam southward,. and the other east from Calicut on the coast. The average height of this healthy tract is about five thousand feet; its greatest length is forty-two miles from north-east to south-west, and its mean breadth about four teen. No part of the surface can be called tableland, but it is interpersed with hill and dale, generally capable of culti vation, with the exception of a few points, the highest of hich has been ascertained to reach an elevation of eight thou sand seven hundred feet. The higher parts are often frosty, even in summer, and in winter they are covered with snow, Lower ()Own the surface is a fine pasture, like much of our own downs,' and the wild fruits of our own country are found there in abundance. The deeper valleys are occasionsQ narrow and marshy, but the usual character of the less elev. ted portion is that of the south of Europe; the lime, the citron, and the orange grow wild, to such au extent that the English residents have named one considerable tract Orange Valley. Almost everywhere the turf is sprinkled with beautiful wild flowers of every diversity of colour; trees quite European in look and habit, the rhododendron and the camellia, with their bright colours, are conspicuous in the landscape; every hol low has its running stream, its banks clothed with the wild rose and the jessamine ; and strawberries, raspberries, and gooseberries grow on every spot a little raised above the usual level. Several of the streams just mentioned meet at one point, add forth a beautiful lake, which is about six.miles in circumference; this is new surrounded by a good carriage road, affording one of the most delightful drives to be met with in India, perhaps in the world. The lake is in many, parts open and large, in others it narrows to a river, and is lost among trees; on each side rise gently sloping hills covered with the softest verdure, extending as they recede to the more . Tugged and romantic scenery which bounds the view on a large portion of the horizon. It is ,a curious proof of the apathy of Europeans in India, that this healthy range of hills, constantly yisiblelcr and often adMired . bythe English residents in the south, accessible withdut difficulty, and in hibited by peaceable and orderly tribes of natives, was never visited by Europeans until the close of the year 1818. It was then explored by two English sportsmen, who were so much pleased with their visit, that they seized the opportu nity of a few weeks' leisure in the following January to re peat their excursion, of which they published an account in the Madras Gazette. They describe the air as frosty, even to severity, but healthy and bracing; they saw white roses, marigolds, and balsams in flower, and found a race of men utterly unlike flindoos in features, habits, and religion, whom they called Todevies, and who were fairer and more Euro pean in appearance than any other natives of India. In the month of May following, a French naturalist from Pondi cherry, named De la Tour, visited the Neilgherries, and confirmed the report of the first explorers. For a consider able time the salubrity of the new discovery was suspected, because hills in India are generally unhealthy, and the bor ders of the .Neilgherries themselves are very much so; but the prejudice wore off; a few English cottages began to make their appearance; a road to the hills was formed by order of the government; and an English village, which has since become a town, gradually grew up, on the centre of the crest of hills, at a spot called Oatacamund, not far from the lake before mentioned, and bounded on the east and north-east by lofty mountains, above which towers the Dodabetta, at a height of nearly nine thousand feet above the level of the sea. In 183'2, the Madras newspapers stated that above one hundred and fifty English gentlemen and ladies, with their establishments, were residing at Oatcamund ; a pretty Gothic church was built, in which an English clergyman officiated; there was a bazaar, and several shops kept by Parsees; and any article could be bought there at as reasonable a rate as at Madras. A handsome hotel, with ball room, billiard room, and every other accommodation, was provided, and the place had become " a little England, save that the climate is less variable, and the scenery is more romantic and more beauti ful than in the mother country." Oatamund continues to flourish. In 1834, the supreme council began to hold their sittings there; and it is now the resort of invalids from all parts of India, who find in it health and recreation suited to their English habits. Game is abundant; snipes, wood cocks, partridges, peafowls, •hares, elks, and bears, afford much amusement to the sportsman ; and a tiger hunt, of a more dangerous description than in the plains, may be en joyed by those who have acquired a taste for such a pastime. The numerous white buildings of Oatacumund are scattered over a considerable extent of country; and their effect is as beautiful as the site in which they are placed is delightful. The temperature near the town is never so high as in an English summer, nor so low as in our winter. A register, kept for four years, shows a variation from 36 deg. to 70 deg. of Fahrenheit in the greatest extremes ; but, in nineteen days out of twenty, the variation was from 42 deg. to 65 deg, . The average fall of rain was 45 inches in the year, more than double that w hich falls Lonclo4 the same time —.Penny ikragazino. ,S Dipping Entertiqence.
