Tau and Sketches, Historical and Domestic. By Mrs. D. Clarke (late E. A. Ingram). London: Longman and Co. Liverpool : Grapel, and G. & J. Robinson. 1838. These pleasing tales, which have nearly all ap peared already in various publications, in detached portions, form one of the most delightful volumes of the season. The least charm of the series is its variety, which is very great, as a hare enumeration of the titles of the tales and sketches will suffice to prove, The table of contents presents us with the following goodly array :—Mary Grey—Ccpur de Lion's Return—The Tournament—Larry Brannigan, or the Fairy's Fid dler—The Miseries of Independence—Helen Calder— Mary of Lorn—The Days of Wallace—Three Chap ters for Young Ladies—The Banished—The Lady of the Village—James of Scotland in Captivity—Tradi tion of Ludlow Casty'—A Tale of the Early American Settlements—Kitty Doyle—The Pilgrimage of Nor markdy—The Unwedned—May Wilson—Sibel Elkin —Lochlevin's Flower—Henrietta of France—Grace Brown—What is Life—and A Sketch of the Day.— The multifarious v fetes of human life embraced in this series of descriptions of wondrous things " in field, flood, and forest," as well as in the circle of domestic society, are at once amusing and in<ruetive. We may add that the sentiments breathed throughout the volume are as much characterised by their moral pu rity, as the language in which they are expressed is by its ease and unaffected simplicity. This work, which is from the pen of a respected townswoman, will be perused wilh much interest by our young friends in Liverpool.

By tills means Maine will possess almost an entire water bonndeity, and the country between Nova Scotia and Canada will he laid open to us, a point in itself of the very utmost importance, more especially at the present moment ; and there can be little doubt that the railway which has often been proposed from Halifax to Quebec, but as often put off in consequence of the state of the boundary question, willsoon he carried into effect, by which means it is needless to say a most important and favourable change will be effected in our Canadian trade. That the question of boundary between our possessions and the United States should at length be adjusted is of itself of the greatest consequence; not that any serious disagreement between England and America was ever contemplated from the unsettled state of the ques tion, yet it kept up an unpleasant feeling on the borders and often led to local disturbances, and the adjuitment will re move all fear from the minds of alarmiAs and ill-informed persons as to there being any chance of a collision between the two countries. We understand that the executive at Washington appreves - of the arrangement; and, indeed, that it was Mr. Forsyth who proposed to Mr. Fox, the propriety of appointiaig a commission, but that the latter referred the :natter to the goverugtent at home.—Morning Chronicle. THE MURDERER. (Abridged from the Leinster Express.) About the latter end of the last century there lived in a certain districtof an adjoining county, a young farmer named William Magratb; he was an only child, and his parents, who were both dead, left him in independent and comfort able circumstances. His family, at the time our tale opens, consisted of his wife, a young and beautiful girl, to whom he had been married but a few months; his grandmother (his father's mother), who was now of a great age; and an or phan idiot, whom his rarents had reared from a child, and whom they committed to the care of William on their death bed. His family, thus, was small, and his farm was large and productive, and he lived in comfort and affluence, and promised himself much happiness in the society of his hand some and affectionate wife, to whom he had been ardently attached for ninny years previous to their marriage. 'Twas about the middle of December, in those gloomy days for which this mouth is proverbial ; the short Winter's noon bas drawn to a close, and the evening was setting in drearily and darkly. William Magrath, and Margaret his wife, after concluding the business of the day, sat down be fore the huge fire which gleamed hotly and brightly on the wide and well-swept hearth, and whiled away the moments in talking overmany of the scenes of those happy days when they both " lov'd and were beloy'd." Redmond the idiot, or as be was more commonly called Reddy, was stretched listlessly on a large bench or form in the chimney corner, and opposite to him in the other corner was seated the old " granny" on her straw boss whiffing her dhudeen with all the gusto of an Eastern epicurean. " Granny," said William, " have you done smoking ?" " Why so, a hayur?" demanded the " granny." "Till you tell us a story to pass away the time," said William. " Musha bud faix ids meself that will tell you the vrondher ful story sure enough, and one I think yez never heard afore," said the old woman, and drawing the blackened and cutty pipe from between her old yellow teeth, and spitting into it to extinguish the fire, she asked, " Did you ever hear the story ov the White Horse of Kil hauls ?" " No," said William. " Well then yez wont be long so," and after hemming and hawing some time, and emitting a deep sigh, she was about to commence her story, when their attention was arrested by the trampling sound of a horse's footsteps approaching the house. " By gad," said William, laughing," " I believe, granny, von need not tell uz about the White Horse of Kilbawn, for 1 think he is coming to show himself to us." " God forbid," said the old Sybil, " that would be the bad luck day for you and yours iv he did." A human voice was now heard outside the door demanding entrance. William instantly arose and opened the door, and by the ruddy blaze which the Ted turf fire emitted, perceived a tall and dark-leoking man mounted on a large and powerful look ing horse. " Good night, friend," said William, courteously. " Good night, sir," replied the stranger; " but as for me, I have had rather a bad night of it." " What's the matter with you, sir?" inquired William. " I and my comrade," returned the stranger, " were pro ceeding to the next town; but stopping on the way, we hap pened to be benighted, and we fear have gone out of our road completely. I have left my companion below at yon grove, whilst I came up here to enquire the way to our destination." " I fear it's too late for you to go there to-night," said William. " I can afford you accommodation for yourselves and your horses to-night: it is rather homely to be sure; but, such as it is, you are welcome to it if you accept of it." Your offer is very kind, sir," replied the horseman; " but, it is necessary we should proceed; so I would thank you if you would come out and guide us to the next cross roads." William good-naturedly took his hat and departed. " I wonder, in the name of goodness," said Margaret, " who must he be?" " The neara bit ov me can guess," said the old woman ; " but whoever he is, he is not good, or he wouldn't be out in a strange country so late. There's darkness and treachery i❑ his very tone, and I wish to God poor William was home safe again." Margaret trembled at the mysterious manner of the old woman, and fervently responded "amen" to her ejaculation. They continued a few moments silent, Reddy, the onzed hattn, still snoring soundly. At length Margaret broke silence, and said, " Granny, you are good at interpreting dreams. I had a very queer one last night, which frightened me very much, and 1 am not the same yet." " Let us hear id," said the old woman. " I was dreaming that I was filling water at Tubbermore, and that 9. most beautiful white bird flew over me, and began to sing sweetly. I thought it flew round and round, and seemed as if it wished to fly into my bosom: at last I saw the waters of the well dashing and swelling violently with a terrible noise, and then a hideous-looking animal raised it self out of the water, and, opening its throat, fixed its fiery eyes on the beautiful bird. I thought the bird immediately flew into the monster's throat, and was swallowed up. I thought then that the monster looked savagely at me, and raising himself on his feet, vomited up a large quantity of blood into my face, and besmeared all my clothes. I gave a loud screech, and all vanished." The old woman crossed her brow devoutly, and said, " God brake misforthune afore uz : I am afraid of that dream." Silence was again resumed, but was soon broken by the old woman exclaiming, " Lord have mercy on the sowis of the faithful departed." "Amen," answered Margaret, sadly. " A terrible death-bell in my right ear: some male person belonging to the family will soon go," prognosticated the old hag. At this momet Reddy, the fool, who was still asleep on the bench, started up with a wild shout, and vociferated, " Where's William ? Who kilt him ? What happened him." "Christ have mercy on us all," said the old woman in a trembling tone; " Reddy what's coming over ye at all, at all ?" The idiot jumped about the floor, his eyes straining in their sockets, his long hair flowing loosely around his pallid face, and waving his brawny arm over his head he sang in frantic tones— ' William's dead and that's all, William's kilt and that's all. I see his blood In crimson flood Flow through my dream, and that's all.' The women wore ready to expire with terror; they both ra iiiod a hind and mournful cry, and tho uproar brought in a couple of neigbbcuring young men who were passing. " Lord save us what ails ye at all at all," they inquired. The women could make no reply, but Redmond again fiercely chaunted in his mysterious and wild strain— ' blood is on the ground, William's blood is running round. Beneath the red moon's rising beam, • William bleaches in the stream ; I saw it all in my dark dream.' " What does he mean ? What does he say ?" asked the young men again. At length the old woman communicated her suspicions to them, and they set forward to look for William. The and Winter's just rising b e hi n d th e hills at th e moment,a a r s ed and ghastly g l are on all around. shedding They proceeded on to the grove but saw nothing; they lis tened, but could hear no sound but the rush of the night breeze, as it swept with sad and fitful wail through the tall and gloomy pines which composed the little grove. At length they fancied they heard the sound of horses' footsteps at a distance, but whether advancing or receding they could not tell. They listened again in silence, but the clatter was soon en tirely lost amid the general stillness of the night. They were about to return, when they were joined by Red mond the idiot, who ran up to them and exclaimed— " Are yez afraid of a dead man ? well, I'm not, and I'll not leave poor William any longer bleaching in the cold stream ;" and running towards a little dark river, which wound its tor tuous course around one angle of the grove, he beckoned at the two young men to follow him. On arriving at the brink of the stream, they were horrified to perceive, by the light of the dusky moon, the form of William Magrath extended lifeless among the daggers, sedge, and other aquatic plants, with which the murky stream was overgrown. l'he two young men stood petrified on the bank, and the omedhaun seized the dead body by the arm, and dragged it up at their feet on the grass. They gazed on the face of the murdered man : it was all over covered with clotted blood; and, on examining further, they found his skull literally cloven in twain, with some bludgeon or other rude weapon. They now prepared to remove the remains of poor Wil liam to his house, from whence he so lately departed in per fect health and spirits. It would be in vain to attempt a description of the scene which presented itself as soon as the mournful procession ar• rived at the house : as soon as the corpse was laid on the floor, Redmond, the fool, uttered a loud and inhuman cry, and again chaunted— . William, poor William, lost his life, Because he wed a party wife, Young Barny Hanrahan, he done it, His hand has William's blood upon it. William, poor William, he lost his life, Because he married a handsome wife." The village was now alarmed; it was yet early in the night, and a great many people thronged to the house. Many rumours were afloat as to the cause and probable author of William's untimely fate. The general opinion was that Barney Hanrahan was the murderer. Barney was a rich young farmer of the next parish; he had seen and admired Margaret Shehan, and asked her to marry him: but William had gained an ascendancy over the fond heart of the lovely girl. Barney's proffer was rejected, and from that day he burned with revenge against the unoffending William. He vowed 'vengeance, and was every day meditating how he could best effect his horrid purpose. This was not unknown to the village folk, and this circumstance, together with the idiot's prophetic rhymings, confirmed the general opinion as to Hanrahan's guilt. A messenger was despatched to the next magistrate; and he proceeded with four mounted drogoons, which he had at his house in consequence of the disturbed state of the times, in pursuit of the murderer; some of Magrath's relatives ac comp toned them, and they arrived about midnight at the ;Iwetling of 1 lanrahan. He was sitting at the remains of an expiring fire, in melancholy and uneasy mood. He heard the approach of the pursuing party, and starting up got through a big window, before they came up to the house. Some of them, however, perceived the fugitive murderer, and a brisk chase immediately commenced. Hanrahan was a powerful strong inau, and ran swiftly towards a heath-clad hid at some distance. The soldiers set spurs to their chargers, and were quickly overtaking the run-away. On perceiving thin, he wheeled about towards a high wall of dry limestone, which separated his farm from that of his next neighbour. He sprang . on the top of it like a deer, but as be was in the actamaking the bound, the foremost of the dragoons made a stroke with his sword at his head, and severed the left ear from the skull. Hanrahan, however, succeeded in getting clear of the wall, and continued his way to the mountain. The soldiers' progress was effectually impeded by the magni tude of the barrier which lay before them; they dismounted and set forward on foot, but in vain; the assassin gained ground on them, and was quickly lost to them among the .brushwood and heather of the hill. He bent his way to the cabin of a friend of his, and got his bleeding wound dressed and bound up. He then departed on his journey of flight, and was no more heard of. _ We shall now return to the scene of death—the dwelling of the murdered William Magratb. He was now "laid out," as they term it, and the house was thronged with his friends and neighbours who bad assembled at the "wake." Under the canopy which was raised over the corpse, were seated in rows the female relatives of the deceased, sometimes weeping with every demonstration of unfeigned sorrow , now talking and smoking their tobacco-pipes, and at intervals singing the Canine or death-song, in the Irish language. Poor Magrath, after being "waked" during the customary time, and with the customary honors, was conveyed to the long home of his ancestors in the village churchyard. His remains were attended to the grave by all the peasantry for miles around; and on arriving at the churchyard, there could not be less than some thousands of people present. The as sembly dispersed, and William Magrath and his melancholy catastrophe were soon forgotten, or only remembered amongst his own family. Years rolled bye, and there was still no tidings of the unfortunate Barney Hanrahan, and it wassup posed by many that he perished in some foreign clime. 'Twas on a fine sunny day in September, about twenty years after the occurrence above related, that the gentleman who headed the dragoons on their excursion in pursuit of Hanrahan on the night of the murder, was travelling on a hired jaunting-car through a distant and secluded district of the County Mayo, in the "far West." The road was rough and billy, and the car was obliged to move slowly and cau tiously along. The gentleman amused himself reading a book as they went along, and after some time, from the 'neat of the day and the jogging of the car, he got drowsy, and let the book fall from his band. Looking up, he perceived a man just near him breaking stones for the repair of the road. He was seated under a kind of temporary shed, which he had constructed to protect him from the influence of the weather: The gentleman called him to reach him the book off the road, and he came, and in the act of handing it to the owner his old hat fell off, and a breeze of wind which passed at the moment, scattered his long grey locks, and discovered at once that he wanted the left ear. The gentleman was im mediately convinced that it was Hanrahan, and he asked him "Where he was from?" " From the county of ," replied the man. "What is your name ?" " Bernard Hanrahan." "By h ! Barney Hanrahan, the murderer of Wil liam Magrath?" " Exactly so." " Do you know me ?" "I think I do." "Who am I ?" ► "Are yon not Mr. G—, from —.' 2 • "1 am the man." "And Mr. G—, honey, how is every bit of you and yours?" said Hanrahan,* bursting into a passionate fit of weeping. The gentleman did not answer; he put his hand into his coat, and drawing forth a loaded pistol, he exclaimed, "Han rahan, as a Magistrate, and particularly as a Magistrate hr the county where you committed the crime—one of the foul est on record—the perpetration of which forfeits your life to the laws of your country, I command you to submit yourself a prisoner, and if you make any resistance, the contents of this pistol puts at; end to your guilty life. lam sorry that my duty compels me to act in this manner; but I would be renouncing both faith, and honour, and justice, were I to act otherwise." " Never fear, sir," sobbed Hanrahan; " I would not wish to injure you, even if I had the power; but 1 am quite will ing to submit to you, and 1 am sorry that I neglected so long to deliver myself into the hands of justice." " Very well, Ilanrahan," returned the Gentleman, "it appears you are sorry for your misdeeds, and indeed you have cause; but remember that any disclosures you make to me will not nor cannot- criminate you ; I believe there is no positive proof of your guilt. Suspicion is all that is for it; therefore, although there can be no moral doubt as to your being the murderer, there is, I believe, a legal one, and you ate still entitled to the benefit of it." "Thank you, Sir," replied Hanrahan; " but lam resolved to acknowleclg my crime before the world. I wish to die for it, and I am impatient for the arrival of the moment which is to ease my mind of the dreadful weight with which it is oppressed," The Magistrate now procured a piece of cord, and pinion ing the arms of his prisoner, placed him beside him on the jaunting-car, and resumed his journey to the next town. He nlvr had leisure to survey Hanrahan's person and appearance minutely; and he shuddered at the wuful change he had un dergone since he last saw him. He was, at that period, a fine athletic, blooming young fellow, of about 25 years of age, with rosy cheeks, and dark auburn hair playing in natu ral ringlets over his high and smooth forehead. He was, be sides, the best hurler, ball-player, and wrestler in the parish, and the smartest and gayest drest man of his rank at every assembly. But now how wofully, bow sadly altered! His form was stooped, as if from extreme old age; his face Was furrowed with a thousand wrinkles, and his hair, which he suffered to grow to conceal the loss of his ear, fell iu hoary and matted locks about his woe-begone cheeks. His voice was tremulous and faint, and his step slow, irregular, and nervous. Such were the effects which want and wandering, and above all, the eternal gnawing of a guilty conscience, had wrought on this hapless man. Thus it ever is with the wretched murderer—sleeping or waking he knows no rest. Remorse makes him her constant piey. " Remorse—she ne'er forsakes him ; A blood-hound staunch, she tracks his weary way; With her deep-mouthed hay, surmounting all Of wrath and woe, and punishment that hides him." " Hanrahan," said the Gentleman, " where have you been ever since the fatal night that you murdered Magrath ?" Hanrahan gave a loud sigh, and began—" Aftes commit ting the foul deed, I and my comrade (who was a cousin german of mine from the county of Kilkenny) made our escape to Galway, were we embarked for America, and landed there after a short favourable passage. Here we parted, and I never saw him after ; but I heard that he fell a victim to the yellow fever shortly after our separation. I fell into employment, and thought I would soon forget the cause which compelled me to quit my native home, to seek refuge in the laud of the stranger; but it was impossible. One moment's rest I never enjoyed since, except the momentary relief I found from indulging to excess in intoxicating liquors. When I happened to slumber a moment, the murdered Ma grath was ever in my dreams; and when awake, and even in the light of noonday, I ever saw him bloody and mangled before me with a threatening aspect. If I looked forward, he was staring me in the face; if I looked back, he was dog ging my footsteps; if I looked to heaven, his bleeding phan tom seemed to obscure the light of the sun or moon; and even when sailing on the broad ocean, I fancied its waves were dyed with his blood. Thus my life was a hell to me; and I several times thought to put a period to my sufferings by suicide. At last 1 came to the resolution of returning home, and surrendering myself to the law. With this reso lution I embarked about four years ago, and landed at Cork in safety. I there thought to proceed immediately to my native county, and give myself up to you, sir; but the dread of the gallows overcame my resolutions. I bent my way down to Connaught, and have remained here ever since. Perhaps I might remain here some time longer, but I feel that I would never be easy until I would die for my crime. I am now happier in my mind than I have been these twenty year; and, as 1 said before, Hong for the hour which is to witness my departure from this miserable life." Mr. G— was deeply affected at this sad recital. They soon arrived at the neighbouring town, and stopped there that night. In the morning the criminal was sent under a strong escort to the next military station. Front that to the next, and so on until he arrived at the assize town of his na tive county. Here he was lodged in " durance vile," and remained so until the ensuing assizes, when he came on trial. He pleaded guilty of the crime; and said that be had no motive for committing the horrid deed, but jealousy and hatred to Magrath for disappointing hini in his designs on Margaret She hen. On the day appointed he was brought to the scaffold; his conduct was that of a sincere periitent. He forgave the world, implored pardon for his many crimes, and exhorted the spectators to beware of late hours, intemper ance, and bad company. He died calmly, amid the sighs and compassion of the thousands who assembled to witness his exit from this fleeting and wicked world. The foregoing story is literally true ; some of the circum stances related certainly wear an air of romance and impro bability; but, nevertheless, it can be fully authenticated. 1 am acquainted with several who can hear testimony to the truth of every particular I have stated. NOVEL COURSING.—On Monday morning last, whilst a number of men were at work in a large field on Cog Farm, near Cardiff, a fine hare made its appearance, pursued by a large dog fox; and so intent was the latter upon its prey, that it heeded not the shouting that ensued to scare him - off. The hare was frequently turned by her crafty enemy, and her escape seemed highly problematical; but Sir John Guest's gamekeeper coining up at the time, he decided it in favour of poor puss, by the unerring aim with which he lodged the con tents of his Joe Manton into her pursuer. LADY NEWBOROUGH.—PARIS ' NOV. 16.—A work was first published in 1829, by Lady Newborougb, widow of the second Lord Newborough, an Irish peer, and mother of the late and of the present Lords Newborough, under the title of Maria Stella. In that work Lady N. is stated to be the daughter of the late Duke and Duchess of Orleans; and that the present King of the French, horn at the same time, is the son of the then jailer of Faenza. This brochure has lately re-appeared in print (a second and third edition), and has been sold publicly and with impunity. In the course of last month, however, there appeared a very long account of it in the Augsburg Gazette, sent thither (it is said, or surmised) from St Petersburg. This circumstance appears to have awakened the attention of thegovernment to the matter; for yesterday morning Lady Newborough received an order signed by the Minister of the Interior (Count Montalivet), directing that (" her presence here being calculated to dis turb the public peace") Lady Newborough, "uneAnglaise," quit Paris within four and France within eight days. Some hesitation appears to have been felt by the government on the subject; for the order, although only " served" yesterday, the 15th, was dated the Bth inst. Lady Newborough is, ne cessarily, being the same age as King Louis Philip—ad vanced in life and somewhat infirm. An application has been made or will be made in consequence to obtain a post ponement of the date at which she is required to withdraw. Whether that be granted or not, she means to plead that she is not "English," as the order states—but "French." Here the matter rests for the present. That her ladyship will make all legal opposition to the decree is certain; but the case of the Duke of Brunswick (and many others) shows that, when in earnest about such matters, the French go vernment is peremptory.—Morninq paper. A FORTUNATE. BA It RISTER.—There are always a consider able number of attorneys and barristers in the Queen's bench prison. I need scarcely say, that in the great majority of cases the attorneys were without practice, and the barristers briefless, before their entrance. Some of the former, how ever, manage to raise a tolerable business within the walls of the prison. Strange as it may appear, it does so happen that persons have to date their prosperity in life to their incarceration in the Queen's bench. One remarkable in stance consists with my personal knowledge. The party was a barrister, but had never in his life had a single brief in his bag. I.am not sure, indeed, having no use for it, whether he had a bag at all. He was sent to vegetate for ten or twelve months in the bench. While there, he contracted an intimacy with one of the prisoners, of some station in so ciety, and of considerable wealth; though, through some illegal proceeding, temporaily deprived of it. The case was laid before the briefless barrister ; and, having abundant time on his hands, he made himself completely master of it in all its bearings. On his liberation, lie undertook to bring it before the proper tribunal, making his remuneration en tirely dependent on his success: the party was liberated, and be amply rewarded for his trouble. But the remuneration he received was but a very subordinate portion of the benefit he derived from the case. Possessed of very respectable natural talents, and knowing the case so thoroughly, he made so creditable a professional appearance in the court, that briefs, from that time, poured in on him in copious abundance. This was the tide in his affairs of which Shakspeare speaks : he wisely took it at the flood, and led it on to fame acd for tune.—Sketches in London, by the Author of " The Great Metropolis." NEGRO DUEL.—A. duel between darkies, (says the New Orleans Picayune,)—a regular-built affair, conducted accor ding to the most strict and punctilious provisions of the code of honour,—came off one morning last week. The fight took place with pistols of the most approved fashion, at sunrise, on a small branch of the Metairie road. We do not know what the origin of the difficulty was, except that one of the parties, to use the phrase of one of the spectators, " was crossed in lub by de oiler, and dat him hona mus hab satis facshun." We have learned, from one who was present at the combat, the particulars as they transpired. They were substantially as follow :—" After having taken their stand, one of the seconds noticed, that, owing.to their positions, the sunbeams set his principal a-winking and rolling his eyes. This was a sufficient ground for interfering; and he called out to the other second with 'I say, nigga, I puts my weto on dat posishun. It's agin de rules oht all de codes oh hona I'be eber seen. De frection oh de sun .shines ruder too sebere, and make my principal roll him eye altogeder too much.'--' Wy, wy, look here, .didn't we chuck up dollar for choice eb de ground, and didn't 1 get him myself ?'—` Yes, I knows you did; but den fair play's a juba, and Ise no notion ob seeing my fren composed upon and lose all de adwantage.'—' Well, nigga, Ise no notion too; Ise just as good a right to hab no notion as you is, and I 'sists on settlin the matter just as we is—and—' At this juncture, a friendly cloud settled the matter at once by stepoip_g in be tween. the sun and the belligerents. 'The two first causes' again took their positions, and, all the little preliminar ies being settled, each one took his pistol ready cocked from his second. Both manifested a tolerable degree of spunk, al though a bluish paleness spread itself over their black cheeks. The second, who was to give out the fatal order which might send them out of this world, now took his ground. Raising his voice, he began—' Gentlemen, your time am cum,'—Both signified their assent.—' Is you ready ? Flab! one two, tree.' Bang, pop, went both pistols at once, one ball raising a dust in the middle of the road, while the other took a 'slantindicklar' course in among the bystanders, fortunately without bitting any one. It was now time to interpose; and one of the se conds set himself about it. After a little conversation, the challenged darky stepped forward, and ;aid to his antagonist, Nigga, is you satisfied?'—' I So is 1, and Ise glad to get off so. • Next time dey catches dis nigga out on sich a foolish exhibition as dis, dey'll hab to fotch me, dat dey will for sartin.'—` Dem's my sentiments ezackly,' retorted the other. When your onmortal instrument of def wheat off, declar I thought I was gone child; but Ise so happy now; —gosh, let's shake hands, and go back to our abocations.' * * In five minutes' time, all bands—enemies, friends, darkies, whites, and all—were on the road home to work, perfectly satisfied with the sports of the morning." LIVERPOOL MECHANICS' INSTITUTION LECTURES ON PAINTING. On Wednesday evening, B. R. Haydon, Esq. the cele brated historical painter, whose productions and lectures have excited so much admiration in this town, commenced a course of eight lectures upon the Art of Painting. Genius is the foundation of excellence, and whatever Sir Joshua lie) nolds may say to the contrary, it can never be acquired. Indeed, Sir Joshua Reynolds, upon this point, contradicts himself whenever he speaks of it. If you have great genius, industry can only prove it, but if you have it not, although industry may be exerted ad infinitum, it never can replace it. Industry can teach no man how to invent. Dr. Johnson says that genius is nothing but a mind of great power accidentally turned to some peculiar object, and Madame de Stael says that it. is some faculty of the mind turned to account. Reynolds says that a man must have no dependence upon his own genius, but it was not by this that Alexander conquered the nations on his travel to India, that Buonaparte carved his way to fame, or that Wellington sub dued Portugal. The confidence which a man of genius feels in his own powers is not the impudence of conceit; and it is the duty of every state to encourage genius, whether manifested by the poorest of the poor, or the richest of the rich. It is impossible to fix any date for the invention of any art. In all probability, poetry, painting, sculpture, and music, were severally called into existence 'by the first genius that appeared in either after the creation. To represent objects as they really appear in nature, constitutes a painter of the highest class. A deep knowledge of the human form is the basis of all other artistical knowledge. In consequence of the art being allowed to pursue its own course in England, unassisted by state support, and dependent only upon the patronage of liberal individuals, the highest walks have been neglected, and in that respect we have gone behind the con tinental schools. It has been contended by many, that this is a national result, as from the nature of the climate, and habits and dispositions of its inhabitants, the English school could not be otherwise than a bad one; but excelling as the English do, iu every art where encouragement is given them, this cannot be a rational argument. One reason why art is in a low state in England is because artists get moneibefcre they get knowledge. Let the genius of a painter be what it will, the first patronage which he receives is that of painting the forms of the family of his patron. Suppose a child mani fest any skill in drawing, his juvenile efforts are directed to the painting of portraits. When more advanced iu life he goes to London, by good fortune paints the likeness of a chief justice from his native town, and a gallery is formed, and can it be wondered that our hero looks with con tempt at Michael Angelo, who spent 12 years in dissection, whilst be has got on without it. He sneers at high art at the dinner tables of the rich, makes a large fortune, and wonders how any individual can be found to say there is not any encou ragement fur art. This class, of artists have had all the en couragement for the last 70 years, and we have not had a first-rate historical work of art during that time to grace the London exhibition. A man has no more right to intrude upon the public who cannot draw, than a man Of letters who cannot spell, or a surgeon who cannot dissect. In the reign of Edward 1., English painters drew as well as any painters on earth at that time. An English exhibition now is a muss of mis-directed talent. It is impossible that a people so in tellectual as the English could be behind their neighbours in art, if their efforts were properly directed, any more than they are behind them in any thing else. In his youth, the lecturer was much struck with the beauty of the human figure, and soon became convinced that by analyzing its composition he could easily depict the inferior animals of the creation. He found that every part of the human body varies, in action and in repose, that the opposite contours of each limb always varied from each other, whilst the sides of the human figure are the same when the man stands perpendicularly. It was an attention to these and similar principles by which the Elgin marbles are the finest productions which the world ever beheld. Were the Elgin marbles destroyed, there would be as great a gap in art as there would be in astronomy, had Newton never existed. There is no difference of style in the Elgin marbles, but there is a difference in execution, because in a vast work of this kind Phidias was obliged to employ different pupils. The fish of Phidias were so excellently formed, that the poet Martial paid them this exquisite compliment—" Adde aquam, et natabunt." Add water, and they will swim. In the Elgin marbles the eyes of the horses are represented as pro jecting and_ yet sunken like the human eye. Prior to the discovery of 'these marbles the eye of the horse was repre sented, even by Michael Angelo himself, as sunken. Che ancients never placed the human eve below the centre of the head, and Sir Walter Scott and Hippocrates had their eyes below the centre. This, however, does not add to the beauty of the human face. It has frequently been asked how the Greeks attained their faultless perfection. They were men subject to the same joys arid sorrows as ourselves. Did they dissect? All the great modern masters dissect. The early I;reek masters wrote learned treatises upon their art. Genius is the base of excel lence,—from the base of art,--and dissection the basis of form. There are, however, many artists who say that dis section had nothing to do with the excellence of Greek sculpture, and they ground their belief upo❑ the strong veneration which the Greeks paid to their dead, and the severe laws which existed against dissection. To this it may be answered that there were, until recently, laws in this country against dissection : still we know that dissection took place every day. All the superstition and laws in the world would net prevent men of genius from pursuing their own course. It is of great importance to know whether the Greeks knew anything of anatomy. John Bell thinks they did not, but that they succeeded by a surer and an easier rule. This cannot be the case : indeed, there is more knowledge of anatomy required in those parts which do not shew so much action as in those which do. It must be admitted that many Greek artists must have seen animals skinned, and if they did so they must have associated the movements beneath the skin, when the animals were alive, with what they had seen. The very arguments which are noiv used to prove that the Greeks did not study anatomy, might be adduced 2,000 years hence to shew that we did not study anatomy. One of the most powerful arguments in favour of the study of anatomy by artists is the celebrated letter which Burke wrote from Italy to Barry. Barry, however, never had the courage to attempt anatomy, in consequence of which there is not one of his figures anatomically tormed. The deepest knowledge of the human figure must be the corner-stone of our future progress; if not so, every school of art will end, as the Bri tish Academy has, in the formation of honourable situations for a few individuals, and in a system of jobbing. The lec turer had much better hopes of the country during his late progress through it, as he had everywhere seen a desire to be instructed in the art. _ _ The lecturer illustrated this lecture with an anatomical drawing of a lion and a man in erect positions, and pointed out the different structures of each. He likewise chewed that the opposite contours of the human li m b s were diff erent when an individual is standing erect, whilst those of the body are similar. IMPORTANT SAVINGS IN SEED WHEAT.—It has been stated that if dibbling wheat, as practised in Norfolk, Suffolk, and some other counties, was generally adopted, full 10,000,000 bushels of seed might be saved on the 4,000,000 acres of wheat grown annually in England and S co tl an d ; and allowing eight bushels to each person, w ou ld support 1,250000 persons, who, if employed in we e di ng t h e crops, might double them.—Hull Times. THS CORPORATION NUISANCE OF BIRMINGHAM.—At meeting of the anti-corporation committee, held last week, the Birmingham Gazette says, " We understand it w as unani mously resolved to oppose the charter by every constitutional means. Its deviations from the provisions of the act under which it is professedly granted, in the opinion of many pro fessional men, render it illegal and ineffective. The borough lists, which were last week published, have the reputation of containing the names of many hundred unqualified persons, but whether objections have been made to any extent we are unaware. We have heard of no proceeding of the kind from any body of individuals of either party." SAFETY GUARDS ON RAlLWAYS.—Speaking of the North American railways, Mr. Stevenson, in his interesting work on the civil engineering in North America, lately published, says :—" From the unprotective state of most of the railways, which are seldom fenced, cattle often stray upon the line, and are run down by the engines, which are in some cases thrown off the rails by the concussion, producing very serious consequences. To obviate this, and render railway travelling more safe, an apparatus, called a guard, has been introduced. The guard consists of a strong framework of wood, fixed to the fore-axle of the locomotive carriage, and supported on two small wheels about two feet in diameter, which tun on the rails about three feet in advance of the engine. The outer extremity of the framework is shod with iron, slightly bent up, and comes to within an inch of the top of the rails. The upper part of the surface of the guard is covered with wood, and the lower part with an iron grating. The appara tus affords complete protection to the wheels of the engine. 1 experienced the good effects of it on one occasion on the Camden and Amboy railway: the train in which I travelled, while moving with considerable rapidity, Caine in contact with a large waggon loaded with firewood, which was lite rally shivered to atoms by the concussion. The fragments of the broken waggon, and the wood with which it was loaded, were distributed on each side of the railway • but the g u ar d prevented any part of them from falling be fore the engine wheels, and this obviated what naightin that case have proved a very serious accident." This apparatus might be intro duced with much advantage on the , railways in this country, on which repeated accidents have happened from similar causes." A NOBLE INCIDENT Or HISTORY DISPUTED.—Rear-Ad mire! Griffiths has thus written to the Sul:—" Since the pe riod of Lord Howe's victory, on Ist June, 1794, the story of the Vengeur French 74 gun ship going down with co lours flying, and her crew crying " Vive la Republique! Vive la Liberte!" &c., and the further absurdity that they continued firing the main deck guns, after her lower deck was immersed, has been repeatedly declared, and has been very recently re-asserted by a French author. It originated, no doubt, on the part of the French, in political and exciting motives—precisely as Bonaparte caused his victory at Trafal gar to be promulgated through France. While these reports and confident assertions were confined to our neighbours, it seemed little worth the while to contradict it. But now, when two English authors of celebrity--Mr. Allison, in his history of Europe during the French revolution, and Mr. Carlyle, in his similar work—give it the confirmation of Eng lish authority, I consider it right thus to declare, the whole story is a ridiculous piece of nonsense. At the time the Ven geur sunk, the action had ceased some time. The French fleet were making off before the wind, and captain Renaudin and his son had been nearly half an hour prisoners on board H. M. S. Culloden, of which ship I was the fourth lieutenant, and about 127 of the crew were also prisoners, either on board the Culloden, or in her boats, besides, I believe, 100 in the Alfred's, and some 40 in the hired cutter, commanded by Lieut. (the late Rear-Admiral) Winne. Vengeur was taken possession of by the boatsof the Culloden, Lieut. Rotherham, and the Alfred, Lieut. Deschamps; and Capt. Renaudin and myself, who were, by Capt. Schomberg's desire, zik lunch in his cabin, healing the cries of distress, ran to the starboard quarter gallery, and thence witnessed the melancholy scene. Never were men in distress more ready to save themselves. THE MORECAMBE BAY SCHEME.—The following letter has been addressed to the editor of the Railway Times:— "Sir,—As the practicability of an enbankment over More cambe Bay is no longer thought visionary, and Mr. Hague's estimates, and the numerous details that have been published in the Lancashire and Westmoreland newspapers, have pre pared the public mind for this gigantic undertaking, far sur passing 'all Greek or Roman fame,' a few hints respecting the value of the preserved land may probably prove of ser vice to some of your numerous readers. lam a native of the latter county ; but considerably interested as a landowner in • both ; and th e idea has frequently occurred to me, that if a few spirited individuals, with the assistance of the Earls of Bur lington eu-d---Letwitale, -e-ad - the members for the counties, were to step forward, form themselves into a company, and obtain an act of parliament for the formation of the railway, with a proviso, that all the land saved as far up as the present - embankment at Castle Head, Lindal, and, in fact, where the tide flows, should become their property, I am convinced that the sale of the land would more than amply pay for the embankment, with all parlia mentary, engineering, and law expences, &c. Mr. Hague estimates the acres saved at £23 per acre on . 52,000 acres, which amounts to £1,196,000. Now, lum of opinion, that the land, if put up to public competition, would fetch more than £23 per acre, more like £3O, or even a higher sum, and that the number of acres would exceed 52,000; in Lancashire most people say 80,000 acres; and, if I mistake not, the latter number are what Mr. Stevenson calculated. This land would be the finest wheat and crop land in the county, and I have no doubt great part of it has sonic time or other been in a state of cultivation ; but having no protection or breakwater from cliffs, and being nearly on a level with the sea, as well as lying directly in the teeth of the south-westerly winds, the strong spring tides have gradually overflowed, and eat the soil away, so that when once it becomes dry, and protected from the saltwater, its richness will he astonishing, and more than thrice repay the labour of cultivation."

(From the Royal Gazette, Sept. 22.) NASSAU, SEPT. 22.—We are sorry to announce that the accounts which have reached us of the disastrous effects of the late gale on some of our other out islands are not more favourable than what we were necessitated to record regard ing Exuma in our last impression. Rum Key especially seems to have been visited by the storm with unusual severity. Almost every house is levelled with the ground; some lives have been lost, and several persons injured by the falling in of buildings; the outstand ing crops have been for the most part destroyed, and the salt that had been ready for disposal, and cheering as to the quantity raked this season, had been washed away, or so thoroughly damaged as to be unsaleable. We regret to say, that our respected townsman Mr. Robert Butler is among the list of the sufferers. The residence of hiinself and brothers was almost totally destroyed. The dwelling house of Mr. Thomas Tynes was also completely demolished, and every thing that was in it ruined. Indeed, as in the case of Exuma, everything on the island seems to be one scene of general devastation. Soon after the commencement of the gale, the sloop Swift, Seymour, master, of this port, the property of M r. W. It. B. Sands, on the eve of taking in her cargo, was drifted from her moorings and blown out to sea, since which no tidings have been heard of her: The master and crew having secured her as fast as possible, had deemed it prudent to quit the vessel. (From the Observer of Saturday, Sept. 22.) A vessel has arrived horn St. Salvador, and the accounts from that island are likewise distressing. They have not, it is true, lost their buildings, but their crops am destroyed, and everything looks dreary and desolate. Wednesday, Oct. 3.—A vessel has lately arrived from Key West, bringing accounts of a number of shipwrecks on that coast with loss of lives, and also that the crew of an Ameri can vessel has been inhumanly massacred by the Indians. Two OFFICERS BURNED TO DEATH.—OD Friday morn ing, the 19th ult., the Officers' Barracks, at Chambly, in Lower Canada, took fire and were burned to the ground. Ensign Carey, of the 15th Regiment, perished in the flames ; and Lieutenant Roe, of the same regiment, died a few hours afterwards of the effects of the lire. EatcittatnEr. FRIDAY, Nov. 23.—Wind, F..
