Her beautiful, her only boy, Her all of hope below ! So long his father's pride and joy, And yet from him the blow ! Alone she must his head sustain, And watch his sinking breath, And on his bright brow ❑►ark the stain Of the destroyer, Death ! " Let me not see him die," and lo The messenger of peace ; Once more her tears forgot to flow, Once more her sorrows cease. Life, strength, and freedom now are given With mighty power to one Who from his father's roof was driven, And be—the outcast's son. How often we, like Hagar, mourn, When some unlook'd for blight Drives us away, no more to turn To joys we fancied bright. Forced from our idols to retreat, And seek the Almighty's care, Perchance we are sent forty to meet A desert angel there ! CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE PRECURSOR AGITATION. ( From the Morning Herald.) Mr. O'Connell has entered upon his customary au tumnal course of letter-writing " to the people of Ire land." The third of his lucubrations, - since the pro rogation of parliament, is now before the public. These annual epistles—although their objects, the establishment, viz., of Popish ascendancy in Ireland, and the augmentation - of the RENT, arc the same as ever—begin to exhibit a remarkable change in style and tone. Their air and spirit are, now•a- days, apo logetic. Mr. O'Connell appears to feel that lie is uni versally suspected of dishonesty, and his whole care, accordingly, is directed to the fabrication of excuses for the violation of his solemn pledges " to the peo- • pie of Ireland." The impostor is, indeed, rapidly descending to his proper level. But three short years ago, he stood the representative of the Rornish priesthood of Ireland, and the favoured leader of the democracy, both in Ire land and in England. He had, just then, succeeded in forcing his whig creatures, as ministers, upon Wil liam IV.; and, in the exuberance of his insolence, he loudly threatened the hereditary peerage-of England with extinction. Now, Mr. O'Connell is afraid to at tend a public meeting of English operatives. The artisans of Dublin hold him in abhorrence. A portion of the priesthood has denounced him, in consequence of his base trickery in regard to the Irish poor law; whilst that portion which still supports him begins to find t11,,t his market value, as a tool for the furtherance of their treasonable .designs against the integrity of the united kingdom, (reclines every day. When O'Connell shall have sunk too low to be any further useful, the whole body of the Romish priests will cast him off, and seek another instrument. But although O'Connell is rapidly losing that influ ence, with which extrinsic influences have clothed him, still, the power which has hitherto supported him, be comes more formidable day by day. On this point Professor Butt made the following just observations at a meeting of the Dublin Conservative Society held a few days ago : " What was the evidence that Mr. O'Connell's influence was declining? Letters like those of Priest Daveren. if his influence was declining it was only because his prudence induced him to cloak, although he did not mitigate, his hosti lity to protestantism. When would conservatives cease to speak of an individual, and neglect the influences which alone gave him his power? He (Mr. Butt) repeated, Mr. O'Connell was but the impersonation of a power which'ex isted independent of him, and would survive him. He had said it before, and he would say it again, were Mr. O'Connell in his grave to-morrow, while the elements of popish bigotry remained the same, their own cowardice and their own indo lence would raise up another O'Connell in his stead." Professor Butt has, undoubtedly, touched upon 'the causes of that success, which has followed all the movements of late years of O'Connell and the Romish priesthood. Let the leaders of the Protestant party only shake off "their own cowardice, and their own indolence," and the Romish priesthood of Ireland and its tools will afterwards possess little power to disturb our institutions in church and state-! In his third letter, Mr. O'Connell re-states the grievances under which he declares Ireland still to la bour. If, in truth, Ireland were cursed with no other grievances than those enumerated by the agitator, Ire land might be fairly deemed one of the most fortunate countries in the world. Here is the catalogue :-- "The points to which our demand for legislative relief should, for the present, be confined, are these— "First—An equal reform of our municipal corporations with that existing in England. " Second—An equal extension of the parliamentary fran chise with that existence in England. "Third —An equal degree of religious liberty with that existing in England—so that the Irish nation at large shall no longer be compelled, or called upon, to support the church of a small minority of the Irish people. "Fourth—A due and adequate proportion for Ireland of the representatio n in the united parliament." Not one word does Mr. O'Connell utter about any of the calamities which do, in truth, afflict Ireland! Not one word is bestowed on the miseries of the pea santry ;—not one word on the causes which have given importance, nay, ascendancy to impostors like him self! The nature of the substitutes for repeal, which Mr. O'Connell has the modesty to propose, may serve to excite a smile. He demands, simply, to have the whole corporate power of Ireland put into his hands-- to have the number of parliamentary votes at his dis posal, doubled—and, finally, he demands that the es ti:ilished church shall be uprooted, and the revenues of that church hanged over to the Romish priesthood. These are, we repeat, the substitutes for repeal, of which Mr. O'Connell will condescend to accept What, let us ask, could repeal give him more?' And if larger objects could be secured by repeal, would not repeal it self he, as a matter of course, within the grasp of the party to which such concessions should be made ? These claims are, in fact, . put forward by Mr. O'Connell, simply with the view of keeping in good humour the mass of his supporters. Mr. O'Connell entertains no.desire for repeal, so loaf; as he can ob. taro, through the agency of a government of traitors, like the present, all the advantages which repeal could, by possibility, secure to himself and the priesthood, whose servant he is. The patronage of Ireland isnow in his hands, whilst the church to which he belongs is quietly rising to the level of ascendancy. These great objects have been attained, without a struggle of the kind, which Mr. O'Connell dreads; but if repeal were carried, such a struggle—whatever might be its issue— would be inevitable. The continuance of the Whigs in office is, therefore, of as much importance to the agitator as the most successful rebellion could be. Mr. O'Connell is, however, as we have seen, under the necessity of devising some plausible excuse for postponing the question of repeal. He has found him self, also, under the necessity of alleging some cause why he declines to co-operate with. the English radi cals. We could easily assign one—the fact, viz., that the English radicals hate and despise him. Mr. O'Connell, however, finds more difficulty in the mat ter, if we may judge from the number of words which he devotes to the subject. Here are his " reasons" in an abridged form : " In the first place, the Irish are not as yet on a level in point of political rights with the English. Our first business is to obtain a perfect equality with England. For my part, I do not think we either want or would be benetitted by the political patronage of the English radicals. "In the second place, the English radicals are neither combined nor concentrated. They have no fixed plan of action. If we were to enter into any alliance with them we should not know occasionally where to find our allies. " In - the third place, they have no skilful or well-trained leaders. At present the speechmakers have it all during their hour—l do not disparage speechmaking—but where it is the only qualification it is worse than useless. "In the fourth place, the leaders who appear amongst them are men in whom the Irish could not place any confi dence. Oastler ; a rank tory, who very good-naturedly calls CRIME IN IRELAND, AND ITS REMEDY. (From tire Dublin Statesman.) Ireland is the dark spot upon the fair fame of Eng land. It is a foul reproach to her. What signifies English power and English greatness in the esteem of foreign nations—what signifies England's vast domi nion both by sea and land, while Ireland stands up to taunt her, and to tell her, that though she had con quered half the world beside, she had gained little— while Ireland's barbarism and multitudinous wicked ness remain untouched. Not a day passes but has its own copious record of frightful atrocity. Our paper this day bears painful testimony to this statement; we have here details of barbarism and cruelty and wicked ness that make the blood run _Fold. Is it wonderful that we almost doubt the evidence of our senses, and fancy for the moment at least that we are living in some remote South-sea island where the name of Eng land was never heard of, and no ray of Christ's reli gion had ever penetrated! Why does England's so vereign or England's government permit this? Is not England able to conquer Ireland ? Surely she is; but she has not done so, to her shame be it. spoken. Ire land is to this day but a half-conquered country, and the barbarian divides it with the civilian. Is not this a great sin which England has to answer for—is it not one for which the Lord will judge and visit ? We think so. But it may be said, England has done her best, and if she has failed to subdue ,Ireland by civil ising her, it is not her fault. Such a plea is absurd on the face of it. If England had tried her best, she could not have failed; she must have succeeded. She has failed most egregiously, and she has to answer for it, just because she could have succeeded and did not. The law of God is the only law of morals. This Eng land cannot, does not, dispute. But has she not ne glected most awfully to make this law known, and bring it home to the Irish people. This we charge as the great sin of her rulers, and against her because she has abided by, and still abides by, such rulers. Now Popery stands precisely in the light of God's laws and God's truth. Popery shuts up the book of God's revealed Word, and gives the people in its place laws which are not His. And observe, it is Irish Pa pists who commit all the crimes, and cause all the trouble, and all the disgrace, both of England and Ire-- land. Such being the case, we come at once obviously to the fountain-head of the evil, when we come to Po pery. Now it might be presumed, if England were anxious to remedy the evils of Ireland, that she would never cease to work against, and would, if possible, utterly destroy, this foul source of all sin and mischief. This would very naturally be supposed ; but, shocking to relate, such is not the case. English rulers have, on the contrary, entered into a league with the ac cursed thing, and are content to rule Ireland through it, and be governed by it. What is the consequence ? Every evil in Ireland is aggravated—her disorder is increased—her crimes are doubled. The government is administered for a faction, and through one; and; worst of all, that faction is a Papist one! Our rulers cry peace, peace, where there is no peace, and a false case of improved morality is attempted to be made out, by concealing crimes, by forbearing to prosecute of fenders, or by pardoning them when convicted. But all won't do. Irish morality has become a bye-word and a jest : the people are drunkards, and a man's life will be sold readily for a day's drink. Murder stalks abroad at noon-day, and no man can trust his neigh bour. Have we not a plain and just right, then, to call upon England to remedy this hateful and horrible state of things? Have we not a subject's right to de mand and insist upon it? Obedience and loyalty are the duty of the subject, and lie has a right in return to look for protection and security. How many millions of money has England cheerfnlly paid for negro eman cipation? Well, let her not think it ton dear to ba nish Popery from Ireland at any price. And it can be done. Not .a doubt of it. Let the Queen take up the matter ; let her ministers, let parliament. Let the land be deluged with Bibles, and invaded by a noble army of preachers. Tottering Babylon will then be come a heap of ruins, and the day-star of Ireland's happiness will shine in the heavens. This is not poetry, or prose run mad, or mere flash, for the sake of passing off, perhaps, a dull article. No; we assert, as we believe it to be, downright, sober truth, and we shall not cease to urge it till we see the very thing in operation, yea, and it will be accomplished. It will certainly be accomplished, and that before long. RELIGION v. RADICALISM (From Fraser's 3fagazine for September.) In winding up our observations on the religious periodical press, we must make a very important remark—a remark that demands the serious notice 'cif the Ministerialists and Radicals of the country: it is this—religion is on the side of conservatism. With the exception of one solitary Dissenting paper, the Patriot—and, it may be, another hole-and-corner print—the religious newspapers of the country are the open and uncompromising advocates of Conservative principles. This is a most striking and impressive consideration. It is the habit generally of Conservative statesmen, to base their views on the fundamental and glorious principles of the Eng lish constitution—to advocate certain measures, because they are calculated to lead to certain valuable results—and to re sist the encroachments of the fierce democracy, on the strong grounds of an enlightened philosophy and ripe experience; and these are tribunals never to he lost sight of in the adjudi, ration of political measures. But it certainly must strengthen the hands of the powerful opposition that now covers the as saulted liberties and menaced institutions of their native land, to he assured that signal piety, as well as great talent, is en listed on their side; that the faith of millions, as well as the prescriptions of the Magna Charta, sustain and side them ; that the prayers of Christian men, as well as the resources of gifted minds, are lifted up in averting the catastrophes that are knowingly courted, or in ignorance hurried on, by reck less and unprincipled statesmen. The Dissenter must not dare to look for his politics in the heart of his creed—the two cannot coalesce, unless, like ropes of sand, by the force of external compression. The dissenter must leave his religion in his closet, or his chapel, or in any other safe lock-up, when he goes forth in quest of political tight, or to advocate the return of members that coincide with his political views. Its presence at such a moment torments his conscience, re strains his tongue, and checks too strongly his liberal partia lities. His faith condemns his politics. and his politics are barely impudent enough toinvite the co-operation of his faith. His vote and his Bible must never be stored together in the same pocket. Hence, when Dr. Pye Smith went forth, with the chivalry of a knight-errant, to vote for the ejected goose, he took care, we understand, to purge every leaven of religion out of his mind, and every page of his theological prelections from his doublet together; and after the dire agony he expe rienced that morning, in endeavouring to silence an obstre porcus conscience, and hush the protestations of Peter and Paul, he mustered nerve enough to do what, for the honour of Britain, very few ministers of Christianity would feel com petent to; viz., to make a speech in favour of the claims and character of (proh Hoxton! roh Homerton !) Joseph Hume! Another proof of this fact, viz., the intense antipathy that subsists between Christianity and Radical politics, is the circumstance that, go where he likes for his religion, (and we hope be goes to the Bible,) the Dissenter must go to those cloaca: of the age—those torpid puddles—the Dispatch, Weekly Chronicle, Sun, Morning Chronicle , Globe, &c., &c. He must drink at such fonts, or politically die. He has scarce the shadow of a journal that combines his political views with his religious principles. A Tory, or Conservative religious newspaper, is harmony in utterance, and exemplified in tact, nearly every day in the week ; but a Radical religious jour nal!—it is admirably illustrated by the mongrel fiction of the poet:— _ " Humano capiti cervicem pictor equinam Jungere si velit, et varias inducere plumas Uadique collatis membris, ut turniter atrum Desinat in piscem inuliter formosa supern; Spectatum admissi risum teneatis, amid!? Credite, DISSENTERS, isti tabuli & fore NEWSPAPER : Persimilem, cujus, velut agri somnia, vanie Fingentur species : ut nec pes nec caput uni Reddatur forma. Pictoribus atque poetis Quirilibet audendisemper fuit aqua potestas. Scimus, et bane veniam petimusque damusque vicisiim: Sod NON UT PLACIDIS COEANT IMMITIA, NON UT SERPENTF.S AVMS GEMINENTUR, TIGRIHUS AGNE." In proportion, it evidently appears, as a newspaper becomes religious, it ceases to be radical. If Joseph flume, Grote, Wakley, &c., became enlightened and sober. minded arts, the . first, would cease to vote "black white," or goad a orovince of his country to rebellion; the second would make his ballot-box a depository for subscriptions to some work of hritnanity; and the last-mentioned squ eezeab le personage would stick to his lancet, pestle, and pill-boxes. It is impos sible that the trio just enumerated could foment the treason of Papineau, the insurrection of the Canadians, and minister divers other parliamentary and Anchor stimulants to throw off the " baleful dominion of England," if they read, or, reading, believed the maxim of an ancient 'book, " Let every soul be subject to the higher powers; for there is no power but of God. Whosoever'resisteth the power. resisteth the ordinances of God." Our conclusion is a decidedlOne— that a Radical Christian is a nonentity : the two epithets can not be combined—they partain to antagonist categories ; the one must, of necessity, be the grave of the other. A Radical or Ministerial religious newspaper is an equally impossible phenomenon; as the one character progresses, the other re tregades, until the abortive .attemiat ; tn. aise nti la u t ma terials issues either in a purely Christian and Conservative, or a purely infidel and radical print. The old English in ference is the right one. The altar is the prop of the throne, the prescriptions of a sound faith, the foundation of the pandects of Runnymede. The two alternatives are dissent, democracy, destructives, voluntaries, and other cages of unclean birds; or the Esta blished Church and the constitution, true religion, and Con servative views. O'CoNNEI.r. IN TEARS.—In his second letter to the people of Ireland, Mr. O'Connell says—" When Lord John Rus sell argued against the ballot,l went to my bed in sadness and sorrow, and during a sleepless night—ipay be laughed at for the avowal—shed many and bitter tears!" A HINT TO OCR CLEasy.—The truth is, Sam, if a mi nister wants to be popular he should remain single, for ►hen the galls all have a chance for him, but the moment he marries he's up a tree; his flint is fixed then—you may de pend its gone goose with him after that, that's a fact. No, Sam, they ate the pillars of the temple, the clear little critters.—,Slick's Sayings and Doings. From the foregoing it will be seen that the letter is a hur ried one, and leaves many points untouched;'of interest both to the public and the friends of the adventurers. Captain Wickham, who had command ofthe nautical part of the ex pedition, is only incidentally mentioned; but is satisfactory to know that all are well. libettp. SECOND SIGHT. BY MRS• A BDY. They tell me, thou - pale and thoughtful sage, That thine. eye can glance o'er life's coining page, That the shadows in time's dim glass concealed, To thy piercing gaze Are all revealed. When the infant smiles o❑ its mother's knee, Thou dust not joy in its play:'ul glee, Thou eanst tell the hour whey the world shall win That sportive spirit to guile and sin The maiden sits in her Summer borer, Brighter in bloom than the fairect flower; But thy look is sad, for thou know'st her doom Is a fading cheek and atr early tomb. The bride goes forth froin her home of youth, She trusts in her faithful lover's truth ; But thy tears at the boding vision start, Of a broken vow and a blighted heart. Soldiers march nn in their proud array, 'Their drums are beating their colours gay, The crowd exults in their high career, ' But their death-dirge sounds in thy shuddering ear, 'These arethe records that numbers tell Of the force of thy wouder-working spell ; But for use, I cannot deem that Heaven Has a boon so fatal to mortals given. Oh ! not for the worlds, would I own the power To lift the veil of one distant hour, And sadly on youth and joy to gaze, Knowing the ills of their coining days. On the past I love to turn my eyes : My present blessings I fondly prize ; And, when doomed misfortunes to deplore, I trust I have better days in store. But I would not wish on those days to look— They are safely kept in Gun's secret book ; And ray heart would grieve were Ills wise design Profaned by a feeble glance like mine. HAGAR She fled, with one reproachful look On him who bade her go, And scarcely could the Patriarch brook That glance td voiceless woe ; In vain her quivering lips essay'd His mercy to implore, Silent the mandate she obey'd, And there was seen no more. The burning waste and lonely wild Received her as she went ; Hopeless, she clasp'd her tainting child, With thirst and sorrow spent. And in the wilderness so drear, She raised her voice ou high, And sent forth that heart-stricken prayer— " Let me not see him die :" me 'a villain,' and most liberally calls the Irish catholics by the gentle name of idolaters'—Oastler and his men we will have nothing to do with. Nor shall we ever combine with those who talk of arming, and of using physical force or shedding human blood. For ever abhorred by us be such men and such ideas. " In the fifth place, there are many, very many of the most useful and valuable of our Irish agitators who do not by any means go the length of the English radicals. There are many opposed to universal suffrage—these are also many, amongst whom I am one, opposed to the payment of the members. I am therefore decidedly against any present union with them. "In the sixth place, it is impossible for any one in Ireland to know how soon the English radicals may involve them selves in illegal conduct. I never will consent that we should ally the cause of Ireland with any men over whose conduct we cannot watch to take care that it shall be consistent with law, and not obnoxious to a just prosecution." These various long winded reasons mean nothing more than this, that Mr. O'Connell fears the English radicals, after having failed in his attempt to become their leader. Look where we will, in fact, the power of the im postor visibly totters. How easily might all that re mains of the fabric of his influence be destroyed by a little well-directed energy, on the part of the conser vative body ! FAILURE OF THE EXPEDITION OF DISCOVERY TO THE NORTH-WEST COAST OF AUSTRALIA. ( From a correspondent of the Times.) Letters were received on . Saturday by the council of the Royal Geographical society from Messrs. Grey and Lushing ton, who, it will be remembered, sailed from the Cape in October last, with the design of penetrating from the north west coast of New Holland to the interior. The letter of the last-named gentleman, which is dated Cape-town, June 30, simply announces the tact of the failure of thc(expedition, and of his intending to sail as soon as he can procure a passage homewards. He also states that Mr. Grey was waiting at Port Louis with the same intentions. But the communica tion from Mr. Grey, which bears tb's earlier date of June 3, and is written from Port Louis, enters into some interesting particulars. It appears that the adventurers met with decided hostility on the part of the natives, almost from their landing. The utmost extent they reached inland was about seventy miles, and from this point they were obliged to retrace their steps in consequence of a severe spear wound received by Mr. Grey. Upwards of thirty natives, headed by a chief from whom they had uniformly encountered every opposition, there attacked that gentleman, who had only two companions with him; but it would seem that no aim was taken by any of the adventuring party until Mr. Grey was wounded, when, in self defence, he was obliged to shoot the poor savage, on whose fall his followers immediately- ceased front further hostilities. Mr. Grey speaks sufferingly of the unerring pre cision with which the natives throw their spears, having been struck three times successively by the chief, although danger ously wounded by the third spear only. He states this chief to have been a half-caste, and that he saw several whites, or who seemed such, in the course of his wanderings, but that they could never be induced to appr o a c h, t a ki ng a t once to flight, For twenty miles from the coast he found the country a sterile desert; but here its face changed to a verdant land scape, and rich, generous soil. A noble river, about 200 yards broad, was observed here; however, the letter makes no mention of further particulars concerning it, or of the di rection in which it flowed. The most curious circumstance mentioned by Mr. Grey is the discovery of several troglydy tal paintings, presumed to he the work of the aborigines, which evince considerable knowledge of effect. As an in stance of this he adduces some representations of the human hand, made, apparently, in'the manner of a cast on the sur face of the rock, and painted black, whilst the surrounding part is coloured white. From these paintings, and a variety of collateral proofs, which he says he has collected, Mr. Grey is led to infer that the natives on this part of the coast are of Asiatic descent—a conjecture, indeed, rendered ex tremely probable when we consider that the islands of the East Indian archipelago form a series of steps,'as it were, from the eastern continent to Australia. Mr. Grey concludes his letter by expressing his satisfaction at having been en abled to introduce various useful animals into this part of New Holland. with different seeds and plants, all of which, more especially the bread:ruit tree, he left evidently thriving. The expedition was five months in the country, and the furthest point reached by it from Hanover-bay, the landing place, 15 36 S. lat. Contrary to the statement of Mr. Lush ington, that both were about to return home, Mr. Grey states that he is resolved to start on another attempt, but to make it further to the southward. THE JESTS OF HIEROCLES. As no English tradition has been given of the " Jests of Ilierocles," since one that appeared in the Gentleman's Ma gazine more than half a century ago, I shall think no apology ❑ecessary for presenting the public with a new one in the present paper.—Persons said that most of the modern jests might be found iu the ancients. To say this was to say too much ; but the reader will doubtless recognise, among those of Hierocles, on the pedants, some that he has before seen related of Irishmen. A pedant, indeed, or secluded man of reading, was to the Greeks and Romans, as a subject of jest, what an Irishman is to the English, whatever absurdities they wished to publish they published as committed by pedants. Hierocles was a Platonic philosoper, who flourished at Alex andria about A.D. 483, and wrote a commentary on the Golden verses of Pythagorus, fragments. The present translation of his Facetia, or Jests, is given from the edition of Schier. I.—A pedant, attempting to swim, and being almost drowned, swore that he would never enter the water again till he should have learned to swim. 2.—A pedant offered a horse for sale. A purchaser coming up and looking at his teeth, asked whether he had cast once or twice. "Twice," replied the pedant, " for he cast both me and my father." 3.—A pedant, meeting another pedant,• said, "I saw you in a dream lately, and spoke to you." "Did you ?" replied the other, "then I must beg pardon for not answering you." • 4.—A pedant, visiting a sick man, inquired how he was: but the patient was not able to answer him. Upon this the pedant got into a rage, and said, " I wish that I myself may be sick, and unable to answer you when you come to see me." s.—Another mau had a horse to sell, and a man came up to inspect his teeth. " Why do you look at his teeth ?" said he; "see bow he eats and walks." 6.-A pedant meeting a physician, said "Pardon me, and do not blame me for not having been sick." 7.—A pedant, wishing to catch a mouse which was continu ally gnawing his books, sat down eating meat opposite its [hole.] The text is here either corrupt or imperfect, Schier's Latin is carnem niandens e regtone ejus consedit. B.—A pedant, wishing to teach his horse to eat little, di minished his . quantity of food gradually every day. The horso at length dying of hunger, "I have suffered agreat loss," said the pedant; " for just as 1 had brought him ►o live upon nothing, he died." 9.—A pedant, having an house to sell, carried about with him a stone as a sample of it. 10.—A pedant desiring to know if he looked well when he was asleep, attempted to look into a glass with his eyes shut. 11.—A pedant, having bought a hobse, stood looking out of a window of it, and asked the passers by whether the house be came him. 12.—A pedant havin g dreamed that he had trodden on a spike, and hurt his font, bound it up. Another, having learned the reason, advised him not to sleep without his shoes. 13.—A pedant, meeting a physician, hid himself behind the wall. Somebody inquiring the reason, he replied that it was long since he was sick. And that he seas ashamed to look the physician in the face.. 14.—A person said to a pedant—" Your field has been car ried away by a flood ;" " and what shall 1 say to the flood?" replied he. 15.—A pedant, having a cask of wine, sealed it up. But his slave, boring a hole iu the bottom, drew off the greater part of it. The pedant, finding the wine diminished, and the seal unbroken, expressed his surprise how the liquor could have been taken away " Perhaps," said his friend, "it may have been drawn out of the bottom." You fool,". said he, "how can that be, when it is the top part that is missing." 16.—A pedant, seeing some sparrows on a tree, went up softly to the stein of it, and shook it; spreading out his gar ment at the same time to catch the sparrows as they fell. 17.—A pedant meeting another pedant, said, " I thought you were dead." " But you see me," said the other, " still alive." " And yet thd man who told me," said he, "was much more worthy of credit than you." 18.—A pedant, walking out in his field, inquired whether the water which he saw in a well there was good He was told that it was very good, and had been drunk by his fore fathers. " What long necks they must have had,' said he, "to he able to drink water at such a depth!" 19.—A pedant, being told that a crow would live two hun dred years, bought a young one to make the experiment. 20.—A pedant being in danger of shipwreck, and seeing his fellow-passengers clinging to different things for safety, followed their example by grasping the anchor. 21.—One of two brothers died. A pedant, meeting the survivor, said, "V/as it you that died, or your brother ?" '22.—A pedant, being at sea in a storm, called for writing materials to make his will ; and seeing his slaves afraid of shipwreck, said, " Do not be concerned, for I make you all free." 23.—A pedant desiring to be ferried over a river, came up to the side of the boat on horseback, saying that he was in too great a hurry to go on foot. 21.—A pedantic student. being in want of money, sold his books, and writing to his father, said, "Rejoice with me, for at last my books support me." 25.—a pedant, whose child was dead, seeing a number of persons collected to the funeral, said, "lam ashamed to carry such a little boy through so great a crowd." 26 —The son of a pedant, being about to go to the wars, vowed that he would bring home the head of one of the enemy. " I should be content," replied the father, " that you should come home without a head, if .T. might welcome you safe and sound." 27.—The Friend of a pedant, who happened to be staying in Greece, wrote to him, requesting him to procure him cer tain books. The pedant, having neglected the commission, said to his friend, the next time be met hiM, "That letter, which you sent to me about the books, I did not receive."- 28.—A pedant, a bald man, and a barber, travelling-toge ther, agreed for their Mutual safety to watch during the night each four hours. The barber's torn was the first, who shaved the pedant as he lay asleep, and, at the expiration of the time, waked him. The pedant, putting - his hand to his head to scratch it, cried out, " You rascal of a barber, you have waked the bald man instead of me." • These are all the jests of Hierocles on the pedants, or at least all that have been printed. • It has been said by Sarra viirs, in a letter to Salruasius, that there were others in the possession of Isaac Vossius, which have not yet been pub lished; and he produced one on two cowards, of which, as it has not vet been translated into English, I shall, though it is scarcely worth the trouble, give a translation here:—A, coward owed another coward a penny : " It is tied in my purse," said he, "which hangs at my girdle; loose the string and take it." "It is enough," said the other, " go, lam satisfied." His timidity was so great, that he was afraid to take the penny from the other's .purse when he was told to take it, though he knew the other to be a coward as well as himself. A SMALL MISTAKE—"I say, neighbour Snobbs. if you don't keep your hens out of my garden, I will shoot them." " Very well, Doolittle, shoot away; only, if you kill any of my bens, throw them over into my yard." Crack went the old fowling-piece, morning after morning, and the large fat hens were pitched into neighbour Snobb's yard like rain. After a fortnight or more, Doolittle discovered that Snobbs never had any hens, and that he had been shooting his own, they having broken out of his hen-coop.—N. 0. Pwayttne. MODEL OF WA TEELoo.—Lieutenant Siborn, Assistant Military Secretary in Ireland, having obtained leave of ab sence, has arrived in London with his already celebrated model of the battle of Waterloo. The model has been many years in preparation. The survey of the ground has been made under ;Erection of government—every kind of authen tic information has been collected—the number and position of the troops correctly obtained—and the whole field has been modelled in a most masterly and correct manner. The combatants on either side are shown, not by mere lines de noting troops, but by separate figures, exhibiting the troops in their various positions and actions, and clad in their dif ferent costumes. The model represents the field of Waterloo and the surrounding country, extending about two miles and a quarter in either direction. It is reduced to a surface of about 420 square feet, and contains upwards of 190,000 figures.—Naval and Military Gazette. COALS FOR ATLANTIC STE AMERS. — AIIOther feature of some moment connected with the steam communication of this country and the United States, especially as regards the Great Western steam-vessel, is the circun - o4ance that the coals for the voyages of that ship were supplied film the mines in Nova Scotia belonging to the General Mining .Assa elation. The last voyage of the Great Western was per -formed -with :weLfrcu.n.„..tha. zniur , at %ye areas slued that they have answered beyond expectation, not only, it is said, on account of their superior quality, but in an eco nomical point of view, for independently of the price being below the English coal, the quantity consumed, we are in formed, is also considerably less. The facility of calling at the mines, and thereby saving the import duty on the coal in America, will probably become a new source of profit hereafter, and will, no doubt, greatly contribute to establish the competition necessary to keep up a regular line of steam vessels throughout the year between England and the United States, which is so much desired by all parties connected by business or otherwise with America. However this may be, the very fact that the coals of Nova Scotia have been suc cessfUlly used by the Great Western steam-vessel is a matter of much importance; and as the coals of the General Mining Association are procured in the utmost abundance, there is little doubt that the employment of them will tend to reduce the price of coals in this country. As nothing contributes so much to the well-being of the poor as cheapness of fuel, it is of great importance that the coals of Nova Scotia should have answered the expectation formed of them, more espe cially as they are procured with facility, and exist in abun dance.—Morning Chronicle. Of the labourers of England, between three and four millions are devoted to occupations, not agricultural. Of agricultural labourers, there may be a million and a half. If the cor n laws were repealed two-thirds, at least, of these agricultural labourers would cease to find employment in tha cultivation of the soil. They would be driven to seek em ployment in our manufacturing towns.; —and it might require an arithmetical calculus of some nicety, to determine the full effect of such a social change, in the way of depreciating the value of manufacturing labour. The effect would, at all events be—to prevent the labourers in towns from "receiving a larger supply of food, in return fur their labour, than they do at present." The fair presumption, indeed, is, that the new competition for employment between the manufacturing . la bourers, and nearly a million of disbanded agriculturists, would leave to the working man a much smaller share of the cheap food which the free-traders demand, than is now left to him of that dearer food, which, under the present system, widens the market for labour, by keeping the soil of England in a state of cultivation. The Leeds Mercury, not content with the assumption that a repeal of the corn laws would, " in the first instance," in crease the quantity of food allotted to the labourer, proceeds, in the same spirit, and with the utmost simplicity, to ask,— " But why should wages afterwards be lowered? if the profits of the masters should increase, as they would by an ex tended trade, there would be no necessity for lowering wages." Will the profound econornig, 'who penned this passage, have the goodness to explain how trade is to extend, and how profits are to be increased, if, as he so stoutly maintains, wages are not to sink under a system of free trade in corn ? Our foreign trade (the free-traders tell us) is cramped and crippled by the high price of labour in this country—and the cause of that high price of labour is declared by the same parties (when the declaration is convenient) to be the dear ness of home-grown food. If this statement of the econo mists be correct—then it follows, that no extension of trade (in their sense of the term) can take place until the price of food be reduced, and the price of labour be proportionally lowered. But it' the wages of labour are to be reduced under the cheap-bread system, what becomes of all the previous reasoning of all our provincial anti-corn-law logician ? The cant of the following passage partakes of the ludi crous :-- " There are always two parties to the reduction of wages: the workmen are one of those parties, and we scarcely need say that they would not submit to a reduction unless they found it necessary." We can scarcely subscribe to the implicit truth of the statement, " that there are always two parties to the reduc tion of wages"-'—unless we could, in the first instance, be assured that " the workmen" would be willing parties to that mighty change in the distribution of labour, to which a re peal of the corn laws must give rise. Now, we incline to believe that " the workmen" in the country would never be found consenting parties to any change that should sever them from the soil, and condemn them to factory slavery;— and we incline, at the same time, to think that " the work men" in towns would scarcely consent to any exchange that should have the effect of increasing, to an extent scarcely calculable, that competition under which they now suffer so many pains and privations. Until, however, we have proof that the labouring classes of England have power to prevent, on the one hand, the enactment of soch legislative measures as the new poor law—or power, on the• other hand, to pre vent the removal of those protections for native industry. which the corn laws supply, we must demur fo tbëiiiilrjess of the proposition—that " there ate always two parties to the seduction of wages."

Alarmed at the situation, the child forced herself through a kind of window, and holding by the iron rail, screamed for some time for help, but being exhausted she left go her hold, and fell from the steeple; fortunately her clothes caught on a projecting spout, which broke her fall, and, although she fell on a tomb-stone, she is not dangerously hurt.— Welshman. Love AND Ma nalaGa.—A. case was recently tried in Rutland, Vermont, in which a Miss Munson recovered 1425 dollars of a Mr. Hastings, for a breach of marriage contract. The curiosity of the thing is, that the Vermont judge charged the jury "that no explicit promise was necessary to bind the parties to a marriage contract, but that long continued atten tions or intimacy with a female was as good evidence of in tended matrimony as a special contract." The principle of the case undoubtedly is, that if Hastings did not promise, he ought to have done it, and so the law holds him responsible for the non-performance of his duty. We have no idea of young fellows dangling about a woman for a year or two, without being able to screw their courage to the striking point, and then going off, leaving their ,sweethearts half-courted; we hate this everlasting nibble, and never a bite ; this beating the bu - sh and never starting the game ;. this standing to the rack without touching the corn; it is one of the crying sins of the age. There is not one girl in twenty can tell whether, ske is courted or not. No wonder that when Betty Simper's cousin asked her if Billy Doubtful was courting her, she an swered, "I don't know 'xactly—ee's sorter courtin, and sorter not courtin." We have no doubt that this Hastings is one of these "sorter not" fellows, and most heartily do we rejoice that the judge has brought him up standing with a 1,42,5 dls. verdict. The judge says, "that long continued attentions," or " intimacy," is just as good as a regular promise. -; NOw, we do not know what would pass for "inti macy" according to the laws of Vermont; but suppose "attentions" to consist in visiting a girl twice a-week, and estimating the time wasted by Miss Munson at each time to be -worth a dollar, which is dog cheap, Mr. Hastings has been making a tool of himself 14 years and some odd weeks. This decision maxes a new era in the law of love, and we make no t will tend to the promotion of matrimony and sound morn itv.— Utida'Deraperat. THE TINIE EMPLOYED IN SHAVING, AND THE USE THAT MIGHT BE MADE OF IT.—The poet Campbell is said to have calculated that a man who shaves himself every day, and lives to the age of three score and ten, expends during his life as much time in the act of shaving, as would have suf ficed for learning seven languages. I will test Mr. Camp bell's assertion. And, as the Lord President of the New Monthly Magazine has not favoured the world with the cal culations upon which his assertion, if his it be, is founded, I will investigate it step by step, with which intent I have this morning, Saturday, May the fifteenth, 1830, minuted myself during the act of shaving. The time employed was, within a second or two snore or less, nine minutes. I neither hur ried the operation nor lingered about it. Every thing went on, was done in my ordinary orderly way, steadily, and without waste of time. Nine minutes. therefore, will be about the average time required for shaving, by a Zebetlean— one who shaves himself. A professional operator makes quicker work; but. he cannot be always exactly to the time, and at the year's end as much may have been lost in waiting for the barber, as is gained by his celerity of hand. Assuming then the moderate average of nine.initiutes, nine minutes per day amounts to an hour and three minutes per week; an hour and three minutes per week are fifty-four hours thirty six minutes per year. We will suppose that our shaver be gins to operate every day when he has completed his twen tieth year ; many, if not most men, -begin earlier; they will do so if they are ambitious of obtaining whiskers; they must do so if their b a e ir a ne r d tt s hbea a nt r eli fiftybr time la e c y k heea o r w r s i c l al of r have i o : t %i. y et y , c o so r hna ( s i vu f in a nge s d t t r o o t : lb. g o c g o ro m w p t t h iied; rh a e t r i e d thousand, seven hundred, and thirty hours in the act of shaving himself. Now let us see whether a man could in that time acquire a competent knowledge of seven languages. I do not, of course, mean such a knowledge as Professor Porson and Dr. Elmf-lev had attained of Greek, or as is pos sessed by Bishop Nomtield and Bishop Monk.—but a pass able knowledge of living languages, such as would enable a man to read them with facility and pleasure, if not critically, and to travel without needing either an intrepeter—or the use of French in the countries where they are spoken. Dividing, therefore, two thousand seven hundred and thirty, being the number of hours which might be appropriated to learning languages, by seven, the number of languages to be learnt, we have three hundred and ninety hours for each language; three hundred and ninety lessons of an hour long—wherein it• is evident that any person of common ca pacity might, with common diligence, learn to read, speak, and write—sufficiently well for all ordinary purposes, any European language. The assertion, therefore, though it might seem extravagant at first, is true as far as it goes, and is only inaccurate because it is far short of the truth. For _take notice that I_ strop the razor this morning, but only passed it, after the operation, ten r twelve times over the palm of the hand, according to . my every day practice. One minute more, at least, would have been required for stropping. There are many men whose beards render it necessary for them to apply to the strop every day, and for a longer time,—and who are obliged to try first one razor and then another. But let us allow only a minute for this—one minute a day amounts to six hours five minutes in the year, and, in fifty years, to three hundred and four hours ten mi nutes—time enough for an eighth language. Observe, also, that some languages are so easy, and others so nearly relate to each other, that very much less than half the number of hours allowed in this computation would suffice for learning them. It is strictly true that in the time specified, a man of good capacity might add seven more languages to the seven for which that computation was formed; and that a person who has any remarkable aptitude for such studies might in that time acquire every language in which there are books to be procured.

The ministerial journalists, of all shades of opinion, are busied in the attempt to unite the labouring classes, in sup port of that movement on the corn laws, which is contem plated by the free-traders. Many of the more intelligent workmen are fully aware, that the corn laws operate as a pro tection—almost the only protection now left—to native in dustry. They know that cheap bread must, in the nature of things, lead to cheap labour;—and that the rejection of home grown corn must, necessarily, lessen the home trade, to a much greater extent than it can increase our trade, with foreigners. Such convictions in the minds of intelligent labourers are stumbling-blocks in the course of the ministe rial anti-corn law agitators.. To remove these impediments, all the small sophistries which the economists can weave on the subject, are in daily and weekly requisition by the ene mies of native industry. We replied, on Tuesday, to the arguments on this question, adduced by a weekly contemporary—arguments professing to show, that wages are not regulated by the price of food—and that the corn Iwo, therefore, do not avail to sustain the market value of labour. We find the same strain of rea soning in opposition to the corn laws, has been adopted by the Leeds Mercury—a paper devoted to the cause of whiggery, and of free-trade—and not less distinguished by its enmity to the Established Church. Our provincial contemporary shapes his argument thus:— " But," say the agricultural writers, " if bread were to be cheaper, wages would fall in the same proportion, and there fore the working classes would be no gainers. " Now, let it be observed bow important a concession this argument necessarily involves. It implies, of necssity, that the working classes would, in the first ,instance at least, re ceive a larger supply of food in return for their la! our than they do at present. This is admitted; and, if we mistake not, the working classes will think this a very substantial ad vantage. Their prevent wages would, with a lower price of corn, purchase a considerably larger quantity of bread. And why should wages a fterwards be lowered ? If the profits of the masters should increase, as they would by an extended trade, there would be no necessity for lowering wages. Nay, the extension of the trade, by incteasiny the demand for la bour, would keep up the price; so that the masters could not lower wages if they would. There are always two parties to the reduction of wages; the workmen are one of those parties, and we scarcely need say that they would not submit to a re duction unless they found it necessary. Now, an increasing trade would prevent this necessity. It would improve the profits of the masters, and better enable them to pay fair wages." __ The shallow, and contradictory nonsense embodied in this passage may be disposed of without much difficulty. A repeal of the corn laws would ensure, we are told, " to the working classes, i n th e first instance, at least, a larger supply of food in return for their labour, than at present." We deny the accuracy of this assumption. The assumption might be true, providing, that,—concur rently with the repeal o f th e c orn laws—no new distribution of labour should take place throughout England. But a new distribution of labour would, in the circumstances, be inevitable. Entelligcnce. FRIDAY, S E PTEMBER 21.—Wind N.W. light.

The imports of British Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal continue very light, but the release of the Foreign Wheat and Flour brought a large supply of these articles upon the free market. From the 14th to the 19th instant,. both inclusive, the duty of is per quarter was paid on 171,818 quarters of Wheat, and the corresponding rate of 41d per cwt. on 60,504 barrels of Flour. For the Wheat there has, throughout the week, been an active demand : our millers and dealers have bought to a considerable extent ; several purchases have also been made for shipment coastwise ; and some parcels taken on speculation, prices, at the same time, gradually advanc ing. Yesterday good Baltic red sold freely at 9s Gd to 108, and Dantzic brought las to lOs 6d per 70Ibs. In British Wheat the business has been limited ; in fact, there has been very little on the market. No new, except one or two small lots of Irish, one of which, the quality pretty good, sold at 9s 4d per 70Ibs. Reports of a deficient yield of Wheat become more general from the Eng lish agricultural districts.—Flour has met a better sale : Irish must be noted is to 2s per sack and Foreign fully is per barre I dearer.— Old Oats fully support our previous quotations ; there has been more inquiry for new, but the supply has consisted of merely a few small parcels of undried Irish, brought by steamers, which have sold at 3s per 451bs. A cargo of very tine Newry, not arrived, not arrived, sold, yesterday, for delivery, at 3s 3d per 451bs.—Old Oatmeal has brought 26s to 275, new 28s to 29s per 24J1bs.—The market continues bare of Barley : no new has yet appeared, ex cept Irish Bere, which has sold at 3s 8d to 3s 10d per 6Ulbs.—Beans and Peas as last noted. fflarkttO.
