Opprest with care, with lengthened toil opprest, Trembling 1 see thee, Winter, as along The leafless wood thou mov'st, thy pale form bent To the rude gale, which round thee with hoarse song Murmurs, playing as if in idle scorn With thy hoar locks, and thy sad aged heart, Yet why despond 9 Bowed as thou art and torn By time, thou vet again to life shalt start Beauteous as SPRING. And thus could I repose Calmly in slumbers cold, and death's long gloom, If all forgetful of my former woes, I could like thee, Winter, spurn the tomb. Then be thou welcome, Death, whose wintry night, Leads to an endless Spring of true delight. VERAX. THE WREATH OF FAME. BY C. SWAIN. (From the " Forget Me Nut," for 1837.) He told me of a laurel wreath That he would bring ere long : He told me that young Fame should breathe— Should love his name and song : And there was feeling in his tone, And rapture in his eye, A passion like an Angel's own, For things that could not die. He told me we should dwell with love In some most dear retreat ; With evening's starry smile above, And flowers around our feet ; My faithful page his greyhound fleet, O'er Nature's beauties free; Whilst he would have attendants sweet, The nightingale and me. lie came : he brought the laurel wreath— But dim that altered eve ; And weak the voice that loved to breathe Of things that could not die. 'Oh ! Death entwined his wreath of Fame, Which many a heart bereaves ; For, though there's glory in its name, There's poison in its leaves. THE PRINCE OF THE STORM.

Hurrah! what a whirling and rush o'er the land; Like the cannon of battle the dark mountains roar ; .Whilst around, with my lance of fire in my hand, I scatter wild havoc behind and before !

We have read, and read with great interest, the last number of Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine. Many of the articles are of national importance, and are dis -cussed with an ability that becomes that importance— profound views correctly drawn, and just sentiments ener getically expressed, distinguish this number. The first paper itself is sufficient to tempt us out beyond the Ii mits of a newspaper notice—" State of Education in France." Whether that country, long the seat of civil war, and still exposed to its convulsions, will submit to have the minds of all its subjects disciplined according to a national system of education, is to us questionable. Perhaps the projector of the design took Sparta for his model. But this is not to apply the steady light of his tory to illuminate succeeding generations; but to educe from it an ignis fatuus that will lead to fatal issues. There is no parity between France and Lacedwmon. Perhaps some late, and not forgotten disorders in the colleges of Germany, have led France to take the impor tant engine of education under its control, in order that all its movements may be subordinate to state purposes. But we must refer to the article itself for a complete ex position of the subject. The article entitled " The House of Peers" deserves a careful perusal by every one who wishes to form a cor rect judgment upon that important subject, from a well digested summary of past and passing events—it is full of constitutional wisdom, and pregnant with great political truths—the progress of conservatism in England is for cibly exhibited, and the best directory afforded to render its advance still more rapid and successful. " The World we live in"—the next article—reminds us of a powerful steam engine in action with only half its work upon it. The style is graceful and powerful, "without o'erflowing full ;" and although the subjects canvassed are greatly important in their issues, yet there is infused into the di scuss i on o f th em so lively an inte rest, that he must be fastidious indeed who derives no pleasure from their perusal. "To catch the manners 'living as they rise" is always a pleasing employment, and when " the world we live in" is laid under contribution, and made to answer its exactions, as in this essay, we are sure to have variety and novelty sufficient to keep up excitement. On the paper entitled the "Metaphysician" we dare not enter with any minute particularity; the view taken of " conception" is nearly identical with that of Watts; upon the subject of "judgment" there'is some origina lity, but we do not exactly follow him to his conclusion. Upon this interesting section of metaphysics we have thought much and published something, and should be glad (were we to consult our own inclination) to go into a critical examination of this part of this well-written and clear-headed paper. The remaining articles of the magazine are all corn- Tanjong moving in the same elegant circle of literature, •and worthy of that portion of the society of which we have made a brief mention. VAUXHALL BALLOON. Extract of a letter from Mr. Holland to his friend, Mr. Prideaux, which was sent off immediately on the descent of the balloon. This letter bears the postmark of Coblentz, Novem ber 8, the day after the ascent in London, and appears to have come through France:— "Weilburg, in Nassau, not many miles from Frankfort, Wisbaden, and Coblentz.

"Descended at half-past 7at Weilburg above-mentioned." (From Galignaqs Messenger.) The following are a few additional particulars of the late in lerestin,g balloon voyage—unquestionably the most remarkable which has ever been performed—in addition to the brief notice of the safe descent of the aerial navigators already before our reader.. t' - would appear that the descent was effected at a little village in the ~ ..;,41 T hourhood of Wei!burg, that being the capital town o f th e c ounty of containing the Ducal residence. The travellers were received moot% dis tinction by the Prince, and their hotel had been crowded with visitors from the moment of their arrival being known. The .descent of a machine so novel in aspect and colossal in size, having, as may well be supposed, created a most extraordinary sensation among all ranks of the inhabitants. The only com munication which has yet reached town from the aeronauts has been received by Mr. Gye, written by Mr. Monck Mason ; it briefly describes the voyage as " delightful." Further and ample details are . looked forward t o w ith th e :greatest interest, not only by the merely curious, but by the savant, who justly regards this bold experiment, together with the ample means afforded by the immense machinery employed, as the first great step that has ever been taken seriously to determine the long-disputed question of the utility of the science of mrostation. Up to the hour of proceeding to press, unfortunately no further communication has been received. We believe it is the inten tion of Mr. Gye that an ascension shall take place from Paris; should he carry- it into effect, the gigantic machine will be im mediately transported from Germany, and the Champ de Mars will, in all probability, be the spot fixed upon for this curious spectacle. The great obstacle to the design promises to be the difficulty in procuring a sufficiency of gas for inflating so im mense a body, the proprietors having been obliged to erect very extensive gas-works at Vauxhall, in London, for the purpose. Shonld the ascent take place, we may safely predict that all Paris, learned and unl earne d , will witness the interesting ev periinent; and no doubt it will' be freighted with some' of the most distinguished men of science in France, many of whom were warm patrons of the abortive attempt made last year by M. Lennox, in the hope of being enabled to ascend with his ill-constructed apparatus. We cannot conclude without quoting a description given of the last atmospheric voyage across the channel, and the arrival of the aeronauts in Paris:—" 53 years ago the channel was crossed in a balloon, with this' difference in the undertaking, that Dover was chosen as the starting point. Mr. Blanchard constructed a balloon in London, had it conveyed to Dover, and having joined in the undertaking a physician, Dr. Jeffries, by the first fair wind he ascended, and in the course of an hour and a half he alighted at Gaignes, in France. From thence the intrepid travellers took a post-chaise and four to Paris, and arrived at the Grand Opera in the midst of all the beau monde assembled at a favourite performance. At their entrance the whole audience rose; 'he ladies waved their white handker chiefs, the gentlemen applauded with enthusiasm, whilst cries of ' Vive les braves Anglais' resounded through the theatre." The trip thus so highly honoured almost provokes a smile as ludicrous when compared with the mrostation of the present day, of Which this last ascent is by many degrees the most important M.

K e latch was calculated i CONTEMPORARY PRESS. Before we examine the circular issued by the Consta bulary Commission, we wish to remark on the fact, that the government journals have taken the alarm at the comments we have felt it our duty to make on the cen tralization t r i c k ery . M r. S tep h en ' s pamp hl et, w hi c h f ur rushed opportunity for our general denouncement of the rapacious invasion meditated by the Whig-radicals against the rural districts, has found little favour with the fac tion. But this is that gentleman's own affair. We thank him for furnishing a text for some very useful com ments to those who, despising the patchwork party, are proportionately devoted to the public good—a cause, to the furtherance of which our humble efforts shall never be wanting. It has, of late, with an unblushing effron tery of which none but the whig-radicals are capable, been asserted that the conservatives in both houses of parliament are equally answerable to the country for the poor law bill with the government who, in the official responsibility, introduced this monstrous measure; but let our readers observe the inherent but most shallow cunning of these contemptible politicians. At first this paltry faction took mighty credit to itself for its liberali ty, philanthropy, and wisdom, in having devised a grand scheme for the perpetual benefit of the poor 1 They now find, that not only the poor, but that every humane and rational person in the kingdom, contemplates their mighty measure with disgust and hatred; they now, therefore, wish to throw, part at least of the blame from their own shoulders, and they impudently turn round upon the conservatives with the pitiful expostulation, " You did not prevent our replacing an evil by a greater evil, which we staked our honour to be a decided good ; therefore the evil lies at your door as well as at our own." As we mentioned on Saturday last, we hope this will prove a salutary lesson to the House of Lords, touching their future submission, under any circum stances, to whip dictation, which we trust will not be lost upon them. The threatened attack on the counties of the kingdom will furnish a fitting opportunity to their lordships for proving that they profited by that lesson. At all events, we will take good care to obviate all pos sibility of reproach against ourselves on the score of ac quiescence or apathy as regards the new, and we may call it incalculable, inroad on the national liberties. In the morning organ of government on Saturday last the writer, with a cockney sort of security, contra dicts the statement of Mr. Stephen, as to the probable operation of the new poor law act, in tending to the in crease of crime in the rural districts. It will be observed that this confident speculator is speaking of a subject of which lie knows little or nothing, while the learned gen tleman whom he so unceremoniously takes to task has „...;teen from actual observation in the county in which he resides, (Buckinghamshire, we believe,) and in other counties which he has had occasion to visit, profession ally or otherwise. The government scribe shortly after wards checks himself, finding that in the fervour of his zeal he proves (if anything) by far too much. For if by the new poor law act crime has been repressed, there is all the less necessity for a new constabulary act for that purpose. This the rninisterialist has just mother-wit enough to see, and he wriggles out of the difficulty as follows :—” Though," he says, " there has been this di minution, though crime has somewhat diminished (a lit tle before he had told us that the direct effect of the poor laws is to diminish crime,) that fact does not absolve the government from the duty of extirpating it by the most effectual means." Certainly not. But, as we said on a late occasion, the real question is, " whether the sub mission of a gigantic tyranny, such as that proposed, would not be a greater evil than any which it pretends to remedy ? We think it would, and shall therefore op pose it to the uttermost. The circular addressed by the constabulary commis sion to the magistracy of England and Wales consists of 48 questions —most of them of a very prying and corn mon-place character. Questions 1 and 2 are expressive enough as to the jobbing spirit of the whole affair. The querists are anxious to know what is to be made by the transaction, as to patronage. So impatient are the com missioners as to this point, that they plunge in medias res. " What is the extent a your division ?" And " what number of acting magistrates reside generally within your divi s io n ?" Th e pl a i n mean i ng o f this is— What stipendiary patronage can we give to our adhe rents in your division ? The following query is one of many which we think must puzzle the .understandings of plain men : " 10. Is there reason to believe that the depredations commit ted within your division have been committed by persons who do not reside in it; if so, what place or direction are they sup posed to come from ?" Questions 11 and 15 require information on the sub ject of " lodging-houses" (by courtesy) and beer-shops, as to their moral tendency, &c,, on which we thought there could not at this time of day be any doubt in the mind of any reasonable being. For this reason we think the swelling out the list with such foolish questions is only to be accounted for by a wish to produce an impos ing array—in other words, to humbug the public on the approved whig-radical principle.. The , 46th question, which we are about to quote, is an unrivalled illustration of this principle : "46. What proportion of the expenses now incurred by the public in the apprehension and prosecution of offenders do you conceive might be saved by the establishment of a more efficient preventive force ?" "Honest John Bull," when reading this, will rub his eyes, or his palms, and exclaim, " So, at all events, we are to have a saving." Yes, but it will be a whig sav ing; and we have all, by this time, abundant room to know, that " retrenchment" in the ministerial vocabu lary, like " non-intervention," means the direct opposite to its ordinary signification. The twe last inquiries are too characteristic to be omitted : "47. Do any, and what additional means appear to you to be desirable in your division for insuring the actual security, and the sense of security, to person and property. Thus we see, that, whatever " proportion of the ex penses now incurred by the public might be saved, it is in contemplation to adopt additional means—and, of course, additional charges is to accompany these—" for the security, and the sense of security, to person and pro. perty." We don't clearly catch the purport here. If security to person and property be established, the sense of security will follow, we presume. But, supposing that it did not, the magistrates will be conjurors indeed if they can contrive means to give a sense of security to those .who are already safe, yet in fear. Mr. O'Connell must have suggested this adaptation of the old phrase, " It's dangerous to be safe." "48. Have you any other information to give, or suggestions to offer, in furtherance of the objects of this commission ?" Were we in the confidence of the government, or of the Constabulary commissioners, we should advise the omission of the word " other" in this question, and it might very well stand for the whole of the preceding 32. But to return to our original objection. This mischiev ous mockery of the Bonapartist inquisition into every hole and corner of the kingdom has clearly not for its ob ject the detection or suppression of crime, but the exten ' sion of tyrannical influence and factious power. We, many weeks ago, intimated our conviction that the whigs would avenge themselves of the country gentlemen and county constituencies . in some way. And here we have the scheme in all its enormity, unfolding itself through the specious form of authorized inquiry. The subject is, in our judgment, so vitally, important to the independ ence of this country, that we shall omit no opportunity of keeping it at every stage before the public mind. It is a measure broadly marked by the rutlian-hand of the arch enemy of England.—Tinys. TREATMENT OF CONVICTS. ( From a Van Diemen's Land Paper: j This abode of horrors is a peninsula of several miles arena, the isthmus closedagnitist . escape, not only by so ldi ers, but by the most ferocious dogs, chained at such intervals asunder that passage between them is impossible. The miserable wretch mie n his arrival is put immediately, without reference to his habits of life, or his condition, to labour of the severest kind—cuttin g down logs, rolling them to the water, and frequently through the water. He has no change of habit, therefore he'cantiot get rid of his wet cl o thin g , b u t bv the absorption of bodily heat. His fond is of the coarsest description. Salted meat frequently the refuse of the store. The quantity only sufficient to sus t a in the vital spark—to s u pp or t it in h ea lth it must be unequal. T h e weeks ration often is consumed in three days; if' it is, as is fre quently the case, issued altogether. During the remainder, starvation must be endured. The smallest particle of food, be yond the ration of the coarsest bread and salted meat, is expressly forbidden. Should he have friends disposed to send him ever so small a portion of that simple dilutant, tea—he is not permit ted to receive it. Sugar is equally proscribed. And as to vege tables, to even think of them, if discovered, would be a crime. Abundant as is every discription of fish upon the very shores of this Gomorrah (for, while upwards of one thousand men are there engaged, woman is not permitted to approach the unholy place,) the poor wretch to whom a taste of fresh food would be health, renovating beyond expression, is forbidden, on the pain of the bloody lash, to touch one, even if it was cast ashore at his feet. Indeed, " a gang" of twelve recently employed in removing kelp from the shore to the laud, for some government purpose, finding a crab-fish amongst the kelp, and eagerly de vouring it, were alfpunished, and with their overseer put into irons. It having been habitual with many of the miserable men sent to this terrible place to use tobacco; the deprivation of it is particularly attended to. If a morsel is found upon any one, the lash is the certain consequence: Even for a broken pipe, if it can be traced, flogging is the assured fate ! The consequence of this system of limited food of such a quality, accompanied with the severest labour which the lash can extract, is emacia tion to a dreadful extent. In one of the gangs (the sawyers) this result of suffering is particularly conspicuous They have a certain quantity of labour to perform. If it is nut done, flogging, and solitary confinement in a cell, on bread water, is the punish ment, thus still more emaciating the emaciated wretch until life his hardly within him. It is useless harrowing the heart of the reader further. It is only necessary to add, that it is a constant expression of one of the inferior, but power-possessing ministers of this hell without hope—' You convict! I'll have you flogged!' and this threat, when uttered, is half performed, fur the flesh cutting process assuredly follows. HERRINGS.—On Thursday ,the supply of herrings at Brigh ton, was so great thatthey were sold in the streets of that town at 30 for a shilling. The late Lord Stowell, when Sir William Scott, was a great sight-seer, confining himself to those of one shilling admittance, of which he is-said to have found in London, at one and • the same time, no less than 700. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD NORGAN JONES AND THE D-L. Some twenty years ago, when in retired parts of the country the communication between one place and another was much slower and less frequent that it is now, there was a great deal of horse-stealing carried on in the English counties on the'borders of \Vales. Those counties were and are very full of pretty little towns and villages, in one or other of which there were fairs for the sale of live stock almost every day in the year, and it was easy to steal a horse from one parish, and carry away and sell it at some one of these fairs, almost before the rightful owner knew be had lost it. Well, it su happened that about that time lived a lazy, careless, rollicking sort of fellow, by name Morgan Jones, who contrived to make a living somehow or other, but how it was n.obody well knew, though most people suspected that it was not the most honest livelihood a person might gain. In fact, everyone was sure that Morgan was deeply implicated in horse-stealing, and mane a time had he been brought before the justice on suspicion, but do what they could, nobody could find sufficient evidence to convict him. People woudered and talked about it for a long time, until at last they came to the only natural- conclusion—namely, that Morgan Jones must have dealings with the evil one. Now, it once chanced that Morgan and some of his chosen cronies were making themselves jolly over sundry pots of ale and pipes of tobacco, at a round white deal table, in the clean parlour of a very neat little ale-house, as all village ale-houses are iu that part of the country. And they began to get very happy and comfortable together, and were telling one another their adventures, till at last one spoke plainly out and told Morgan Jones that it was commonly reported he had to do with the devil. " - Why, yes," answered Morgan, "there's some truth in that same, sure enough: I used to meet him now and then, but we fell out, and I have not seen him these two months:" " Ay !" exclaimed each of the party, " how's that Morgan." " Why, then, be quiet, and I'll tell you it all." And there upon Morgan emptied his pot, and had it filled again, and took a puff of his pipe, and began his story. " Well then," says he, " you must know that I had not seen his honour for a long time, and it was about two months agp from this that I went one evening along the brook shooting Wild fowl, and as I was going whistling along, who should I spy. coming up but the devil himself ? But y o u mus t know he was dressed mighty fine, like a grand gentleman, though I knew the old one well by the bit of his tail which 'hung out at the bottom of his trousers. Well, he came up,, and says he,' Mor gan, how are you ?' and, says I, touching my bat, pretty well, your honour, I thank you.' And then says he, Morgan, what are you looking a'ter, and what's that liing thing ye're carry ing with you ?' And says ' I'm only *fllkit..g het by the brook this fine evening, and carrying my backy-pipe to smoke.' Well, all of you know the devil was mighty fond of the backy; so says he, Morgan, let's have a smoke, and thank thee ?' And says I, t'ou'r mighty welcome.' So I gave him the gun, an d h e p u t th e muzzle in his mouth to smoke, and thinks I, ' I have you now, old boy,' cause you see I wanted to quarrel with him : so I pulled the trigger, and off went the gun bang in his mouth. Puff !' says he, when he pulled it out of his mouth, and be stopped a minute to think about it, .and says he, d—d strong backy that, Morgan !' Then he gave me the gun, and looked huffed, and walked off, and sure enough I've never seen him since. And that's the way I got shut of -tbe old gentleman, my boys !" Such is the ludicrous story of Morgan Jones, who had to do with a proper Welsh devil without doubt.—Foreiyn Quarterly Review. MISCELLANEOUS.

PRINCELY BEQUESTS.-Mr. Thomas Naters, a native of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, who died at Goldenburg, in Switzerland, on the 24th ult., has bequeathed to Mr. Mather, a builder at Newcastle, the immense sum of £200,000. About 20 years since, a rich citizen at Newcastle bequeathed all his property to his only child, a natural son, who was at that time in India practising as a physician. Dr. Adams, then in ill health, de spaired of ever reaching England, made his will in Calcutta, bequeathing the great bulk of his wealth to a cousin on his mother's side—this identical Mr. Nater—at whose demise Mr. Mather came into possession of the enormous sum above named. Mr. Naters has also left two handsome legacies of £20,000 each to Mr. Thorp, of Alnwick, Clerk of the Peace, and George Thomas Dunn, Esq., Alderman, of Newcastle, both of whom formerly promoted the interests of the late Dr. Adams and himself. On of the New York papers says : " Curses not loud, but deep," are uttered against the road managers every day, by tourists and travellers in every part of the union, and no won der, for the system of some parts now is for every passenger per stage coach, to walk on foot by the side of the vehicle, so as to be in rediness to assist in relieving it from any accident which happens to it on account of the deep holes and ruts which it has to encounter continually. This was borne good-humouredly enough for some time, there appearing to be no alternative; until at length the stage-coach agents, emboldened by success, insisted that the pas s engers should not only walk on foot, as occasion or the driver might require, but that each passenger should carry a rail to ply the coach out of the mud whenever it stuck therein. ABDUCTION.—On Saturday Captain Verner, brother to the honourable member for Armagh, applied to the Chester magis trates under the following circumstances :—His only daughter, a young lady 14 years of age, had eloped from his house at Newry, in Irelaud, with a young man named Mitchell, an at torney!ii clerk, the son of a Unitarian minister of that town. He traced them to Chester, and on Friday evening applied for the assistance of Mr. Hill, superintendent of police, who found them residing in a house in Foregate-street, and took the young man into custody. The magistrates, finding that they had no jurisdiction over him on the charge of abduction, remanded him for further examination on a charge of stealing two towels, the property of the captain, which were found in his trunk. On being sent back to prison, the young lady was very urgent in her entreaties to be allowed to accompany him, and refused to take any consolation unless her friends would consent to their union, .and her father was at last induced partially to give his consent, when the prisoner absolutely refused, and said he never had intended .to marry her. Her friends, therefore, took her home to Newry, and Mitchell will be taken, as soon as a war rant can be procured from a magistrase at Newry, and indicted for the misdemeanour. STRANGE AFFAII:.—An 'application was made to one of the Police-officers" at the west end of the town, a short time since, under the following extraordinary circumstances:—The wife of , a tradesman, cal r7ing'on an extensive business at the west end of the town, had, it appeared, while at a watering place, impru dently suffered the attentions of a young man of fashionable exterior to be paid to her for some time; but she, at length, broke off the connection, and returned to town. She had not been 'Tong returned before she received a visit from the indi vidual whom she had seen at the watering place, and, upon her requesting him to leave the'house, he told her in plain terms that be should - not leave it until some money was given to him. The lady, horror struck a•t-the occurrence, and fearing lest the affair should come to her husband's kmowledge, consented to g i ve him £lO, and he then retired. She had, however, but a short respite. In a-few days the individual again threw himself in her way, and insisted upon having £2O. This sum she also gave him. From this time the demands of the individual be came so exorbitant (he, on one occasion, demanded no less a sum than £100) that the lady, finding it impossible any longer to comply with them, resolved to communicate the whole affair to tier husband, and, in consequence, arrangements were made for the apprehension of the individual in question, and he was secured upon his next appearance. Finding his proceedings had been made known, he was induced to declare that he would desist from further persecution of the lady in question, and as the parties were unwilling to come forward as prosecutors, the matter was thus suffered to drop.—London Paper. POINT OF HONOUR WITH A BEAR.—While On this theme, I will add another anecdote of an adventure with a grizzly bear, t o ld of John Day, the Kentucky hunter, but which happenedat a different period of the expedition. Day was hunting in com pany with one of the clerks of the company, a lively youngster, who was a great favourite with the veteran, whose vivacity he had continually to keep in check. They were in search of deer, when suddenly a huge grizly bear emerged from a thicket, abont thirty yards distant, rearing himself upon his hind legs with a terrific growl, and displaying a hideous array of teeth and claws. The rifle of the youn g man was levell e d i n an i ns t ant ; but John Day's ir on hand was qu i c kl y upon hi s arm "Be quiet, b o y, be quiet!" exclai me d t h e h unter, b etween his clenched teeth, and without turni ng hi s eyes from the bear. They remained motionless. The m o n s t er regar d e d them for a ti m e, then, lowering himself on his forepaws, slowly withdrew. He had not gone many paces before he again turned, reared himself on his hind legs, and repeated hi s menace. Day ' s hand w as still on the arm of his young companion; he again pressed it hard, and kept repeating between his teeth, " Quiet boy ! keep quiet! keep quiet !" though th e l a t ter h a d not made a m ove since his first prohibition. The bear again lowered him self on alt fours, retreated some t wenty yards farther, and again turned, reared, showed his teeth, and growled. This third menace was too much for the game*spiiit of John Day. "By Jove !" exclaimed he, "I can stand this no longer ;" and i n an instant a ball from his rifle whizzed into the foe. The wound was not mortal; but; lu c kil y, i t dismayed instead of en raging the animal, and he retreated into the thicket. Day's young companion reproached hi m f or not practising the caution Which he enjoined upon others. "Why, boy," replied the veteran, " caution is caution ; but one must not put up with too much, even from a bear. Would you have me suffer myself to be bullied all day by a varmint ?"—Asturia.

About thirty-five years ago the debate, which was about En glish labourers, being► one evening unusually dull,Jack Finnarty, who had but a short time before been imported front Tipperary, said to the only reporter in the gallery at the time, that he felt very drowsy, and that he would be after taking a little bit of a nap, if he would tell him, when he awoke, any thing which might take place: The other agreed, and Jack, in a moment, was fast locked in the arms of Morpheus. An hour elapsed, and after half-a-dozen yawns Jack opened his eyes. " Has any thing happened ?" was his first question to his friend. "To be sure there has," said the other, whose name was Morgan O'Sullivan—" Mr. Wilberforce has said, tint it always appeared to him bayond all question, that the great cause why the Irish labourers were, as a body, so much stronger, and ca pable of enduring so much greater physical fatigue, than the English, was the surpassing virtue of the potatoe. And he"--; " Morgah, my dear fellow," shouted Jack, and at tie mention of the Irish potatoe, his countenance lighted up withecstaey as ha spoke, " Morgan, my dear fellow, this is so important that we must give it in the first person." "And I have no doubt," continued Mr. Wilberforce, "that if it had been my lot to have been born and reared in"— "Did the member say reared?" interrupted Jack exultingly, evidently associating the word with the growth of potatoes in his own blessed country.' " He said reared," observed the other who then assumed— " had it been my lot to be born and reare:l in Ireland, where my food would have principally consisted of the potatoe,—that most nutritious and salubrious root, instead of being the poor, infirm, shrivelled creature you, Sir, and honourable - gentlemen now behold me—l would have been a tall, stout, atheletic man, and able to carry an enormous weight." Here Jack Finnerty observed, looking his friend eagerly in the face—" Faith, Morgan, and that's what I call true elo quence ! Go on." " I hold that root to be invaluable; and the man who first cultivated it in Ireland I regard as a benefactor of the first magnitude to his species. And my decided opinion is, that never until we grow potatoes in England in sufficient quantities to feed all our labourers will those classes be so able-bodied a class as the I rish. ( Hear, hear ! from both sides of the house.") Well, by St. Patrick, but that bates everything,' observed Jack, on finishing his notes. 'That's rale philosopV. And the other minibers cried "hear, hear !" did they ?' The other members cried " Hear, hear 1" answered Morgan. In a quarter of an hour afterwards the house rose.—Morgan went away direct to the office of the paper for which he was em ployed; while Jack, in perfect ecstasies at the eulogium pro nounced on the virtue of • ould Ireland,' ran in breathless haste to a public-house, where the reporters who should have been on duty for the other morning papers were assembled. He read over his notes to them, which they copied verbatim, and not be ing at the time in the best possible condition for judging of the probability of Mr. Wilberforce delivering such a speech, they repaired to their respective offices, and actually gave a copy of it to the printer. Next morning it appeared in all the papers except the one with which Morgan O'Sullivan was connected. The sensation and surprise it created in town exceeded every thing. In the evening the house met as usual, and Mr. Wil berforce, on the Speaker taking the chair, rose and begged the indulgence of the house for one moment to a matter which con- cerned it, as well as himself personally. 'Every honourable member,' lie observed, has doubtless read the speech which I am represented to have made on the previous night. With the permission o f t h e h ouse I w i ll read it.' (Here the honourable member read the speech amid the most deafening roars of laughter.) I can assure honourable members that no one could have read this speech with more surprise than I myself did this morning when I found the paper on the breakfast table. For myself, personally, I care but little about it, though if I were capable of uttering such nonsense as is here put into my mouth, it is high time that, instead of being a member of this house, 1 were an inmate of a lunatic asylum. It is for the dig nity of this house that I feel concerned; for if honourable mem bers were capable of listening to such nonsense, supposing me capable of giving expression to it, it were much more appro priate to call this a theatre for the performance of farces, than a place for the legislative deliberations of the representatives of the nation.' It was proposed by some members to call the printers of the different papers in which the speech appeared to the bar of the house, for a breach of privilege • but the matter was eventually allowed to drop.— The Great Metropolis. MARINE INSURANCES. The report from the Commons on "Shipwrecks" contains an immense deal of evidence on the subject of Marine Insurances. The following are some of the features of the statements of va rious w►tnesses : The evidence describes the system generally—the evils of the present system :-1. By causing vessels to be lightly constructed —2. By causing the appointment of incompct, -, n` - .u . gr!ns as masters, &c.—and 3. The frequent cause of shipwreck, and on the over-insurance of vessels, and opinions thereon. The par ticulars of the evidence set forth that the rate of insurance de pends on the letter the vessel is in on " Lloyd's List;" that shipping are' very frequently . insured without any inquiry as to the value of the ship ; ships are insured at Lloyd's without 'a competent knowledge of the character of the vessels; rate of in surance might be lessened one-half, if spirits were prohibited on board vessels. Change of building sbips more slightly th an formerly cau se d by 'th e abuse of marine insurances. The system of over-insurance causes incompetent persons to be appointed as masters and mates f merchant vessels. In stances are given o f th e Committee' at Sorith Shields refusing to insure a vessel commanded by an 'incompetent master. Number of persons who insure are very careless as to the per sons they put in charge of their vessels. The system of insurance has a tendency, to cause .vessels to be sent to sea for the purpose of' being lost. The injurious operation of marine insurances is the principal cause of ship wrecks. The evidence further dectai es that a very large pro: portion of the mercantile navy, that would he scarcely saleable in the market, are sent to sea insured for many hundred pounds; Frequent instances are adduced of vessels being insured:very much above their value. No merchant or shipowner, it is said ; ought to insure his property to a greater amount than two; thirds of its value.. No vessel should be allowed to insure for more than her actual value. Owners of vessels in a depreciated state would, says a witness, have great difficulty in getting them insured even by the common underwriter in Newcastle, andthat there are few instances of vessels being insured above their value; if discovered, the over-insurance is deducted, and it is not to the interest of the shipowners in the Tyne to over insure their vessels, and no doubt that a number of vessels get Insured that are not seaworthy. INCENDIARY FIRES. --- . We regret to learn that incendiarism has made its appearance in the neighbourhood of Windsor. On Sunday morning last, about four o'clock, an old,an3. trustworthy servant of Mr. Agar, at Warfield, of the name of Chambers, who sleeps on tbepre mises, was awoke by his,vrife telling him there was afire. He instantly arose, and on looking out of the window he discovered a large wheat rick in flames., ,The alarm was given around the neighbourhood, and a great number of persons hastened to ren der all the assistance that was in their power; but their efforts were insufficient to prevent the de structive -eleme n t from com municating with an adjoining rick, and both were entirely con sumed. The farm buildings, were, however, most miraculously saved. Two engines, one from Windsor, which was despatched with post horses, and another belonging to Lady Malcolm, were on tile spot as soon as possible, but the flames had obtained too great an ascendancy to permit of their being of any service. The loss amounts to about £3OO, but we are happy to say that Mr. Agar is fully insured in the Norwich Union Fire-office. On Sunday morning a similar diabolical act, although no so destructive as the above, occurred in a field near Egham, in the occupation of Mr.. Willis, of Englefield-green. Between two and three o'clock at a barley rick, of about 30 quarters, stand in the field, was discovered to be on fire, and, notwith puildi this y al thatsalso w i a t s rhaes act entirely e a l y n (e - s in ta g n a d l i o n n g e the exertions of the people who were soon collected stroyed. th T e he fl in cendiary.— Windsor Express.
