THE PIGS AND THE OAK TREE. A discontented, grunting brood, •A truly swinish, multitude, Grazed where an oak its branches spread, And on the falling acorns fed. The shade was ample, rich the fare, Yet grumbling discontent was there; If aught to raise their spleen befall, The tree must bear the blame of all; On this abuse is freely spent; Their surly humours here find vent; They join in murmuring and groaning, All thought of gratitude disowning. One day, when all had eat and drunk, • And most to slumbers now had sunk, One, standing up, in accents loud, Awoke the sleepy-headed crowd. Then, more enlighten'd than the rest, He thus the gathered throng addressed:— " My friends, be wise, improve. your lot, " ,Nursttyrilde_at_ye_know not what ; I liStir state is bad, you all agree, " Attend, and learn the cause from me. " Behold the trunk, a vile abuse ! " A mere incumbrance! where's its use ? "'Phis unproductive log, I tell ye, " Has never helped to fill your belly; " Nay, could we but the trunk remove, " We'd pluck the fruit that hangs above; " From which (in truth the case is hard) " We most unjustly are debated. " Come then, my friends, your spirits rouse, " Werthrow the trunk, bring low the boughs; " By one bold feat we'll raise our fame, " And earn importance and a name." Ile finished. None the point disputed; This thought so well their fancy suited, They scarce have patience to attend, And hear the speaker to an end, But, with wild haste, the tree surround, And fall to rooting up the ground, Employ their uttermost endeavour To sap the trunk, the roots to sever; The tree, at length, begins to shake; The herd redoubled efforts make; It falls! but brings unlooked-for fate, Full fifty perish by the weight. The rest bewail them not; 'tis clear The fewer mouths the better cheer, (Like Levellers, who ne'er are known To grieve for woes, except their own;) Thus, unconcerned, their joy they prove, By cramming till they scarce can move, Renew the feast from day to day, Till all is gone ; and now must they Go seek their food where best they may. MORAL. So when the friends of Revolution Would fain o'erthrow the Constitution, King, Church, and Peerage in a heap, They'd better look before they leap, Nor sacrifice, by their temerity, All peace and national prosperity. So they themselves would soon destroy • The gains they panted to enjoy; Those gains for which the Whigs would barter Religion, Laws, and Magna Charts; And late discover, to their cost, Their credit gone and commerce lost. Thus when we hear the propositions (Well backed by numberless petitions) Of those who wish to separate The holy bond of Church and State; Bills which, to take them in their true sense, Would vote the House of Lords a nuisance; Notions by which the mob is courted, Proposed by knaves, by fools supported ; We judge some strange infatuation Possesses the deluded nation, Which sees not throt.gh the thin disguise That covers infamy and lies ; But suffers, to her own undoing, The wretches who would work her ruin (Manchester Courier.) R. D. H. I;)ottrp. CON7'E'MPORARY PRESS. THE MILK-WHITE HIND, UNCHANGING AND UNCHANGED. (From the Dublin Evening Mail.) We have it on the authority of Mr. Ashton Yates, who professes to have his eyes opened to the nature of Irish affairs by personal experience, that the Tipperary peasant, before proceeding to shoot his landlord, com municates his intention to the priest. If the priest succeed in dissuading him, tant mieux—as in the case of the ejected tenant mentioned by Mr. Yates, who took his gun to confession, where the exhortations of his pastor had the effect of making him give up not only his bloodthirsty intention, but the intended in strument of bloodshed. So far good ; but, if the priest should not succeed in allaying the lust of blood, kin dled in his communicant by tithe-process, ejectment, civil bill decree, or other hateful instrument of legal process—if private revenge, or public spirit, or patri otic ardour, impatient of the stranger's law, be too many for the mild expostulations of the assassin's con fidant, as in the cases mentioned by Mr. Nolan, why then— Venusinm Plectantur sslvw, to sospite— Let the storm burst on the devoted heads : You, holy father, sit secure under the shelter of the confessional —sub sigillo—hermetically sealed, as it were, from even the ill-wind that blows nobody good. Crack goes the carbine from behind the hedge of his reverence's paddock ! His reverence is writing a leading article for the liberal journal of a neighbouring town, and does not hear it. hark!—did you not hear a groan—a heavy fall:-the hurried trampling of feet ? " No—'tiVas but the wind, Or the car rattling down the stony street— On with the mass !" For these, as Baron Richards truly says, are peculiarly the Sabbath morning sports of his reverence's commu• nicants. Take, now, a night scene. See what a vo- lume of flame bursts from the roof of and windows of the Orange yeoman's house ! His reverence spurs his horse—he is on a sick call—time presses—he did what he could in the confessional—it is no longer his busi ness. "Pax vobiscum ;" says he, " I wash my hands of it." Chick, Dobbin, or we'll be late to give poor Mike the rights of his church." A murder or arson, three weeks or a month before its commission, comple ted or intended, is a matter of interest to the benevo lent priest, no doubt. But when the thing is done, what is it to him ? If he could not prevent its com mission here, he has at least prevented its conse quences hereafter I—a comfortable doctrine for a man who sleeps with open doors. But it is denied that prospective absolution can be given. We believe what the church could do in one age, she claims the power to do still, and that prospec tive absolutions have been given to murderers, time out of mind, in Popish countries, is a fact which ad mits of no contradiction. We will give one example, and have done with Mr. Yates and his eulogium on the unchangeable church. On Sunday, the 18th of March, 1582, William of Nassau was shot at by one John Jaureguy, as he was leaving his dining-room. The ball entered un d er th e r ight ea r, and passed through the palate, coming out at the left cheek. Yet; notwithstanding this severe wound, the prince reco vered*. On Jaureguy's person were found several written prayers and commendations of his cause to the Virgin, the Angel Gabriel, &c., couched in such terms as these—" l do most humbly beseech thee to grant me the victory against this heathen defiler of thy holy temple, and subverter of thy Holy Catholic Roman re ligion. Ido most heartily beseech thee that it may please thee no longer to suffer this wretch to work fur ther desolations," &c. Besides these he bad various amulets, a green wax candle, with a cross on the end, a scapular, and other such rubbish in abundance. But our present business is with the examination of the witnesses in the subsequent investigation : "Anthony de Venero, a Spaniard, born at Bilboa, in Spain, being demanded to whom the said Jaureguy was shri ven? He saith, to a certain monk named Father Anthony. " Being demanded whether the said Father Anthony knew of their enterprise, when or by whom? He saith that he, this deponent, never conferred with the said Father An thony; neither knew that any other conferred with him, se cretly nor openly, except that the said John Jaureguy told him that he had confessed himself to the said Father An thony, and had conferred with him of this matter, whereunto Annantio, Jaureguy, and the deponent were privy—and that he had absolved him. " Anthony Timmerman, some time monk of the order of the White Friars, being demanded what private communica tion he bath had with John Jaureguy? Saith, that the said Jaureguy on Friday last came to him to shrift, desiring also to receive the sacrament at his hand, which he ministered unto him; for the which the said party gave him two double pistoles of gold, desiring him to pray for him. " Being demanded whether he told unto him the said con fessor in what place he purposed to do this deed, and with what weapons ? Saith, that he told him that he purposed to do it at table, as be thought, but chewed him not with what weapons. " Being demanded whether he, the said confessor, did finally absolve the said Jaureguy, so as he might execute his intended deed, and which he afterwards committed against the person of his Excellency? Confesseth, that he absolved the said Jaureguy in this manner: that if he did not execute it for lucre of money, but only for the glory of God and out of a zeal for the Catholic Roman religion , THAT THEN IT WAS LAWFUL FOR HIM TO DO .IT."—(See Seiner's Tracts, v. 1, pp. 391, 400—edition of 1809.) He was killed by a more successful assassin, called Bal shazer, ten years afterwards. DR. LANT CARPENTER. ( From the John Bull.) We have received the following letter from Dr. Lant Carpenter:— TO THE JOHN BULL. Bristol, Oct. 18th SlR,—ln reference to the notice in your last paperWihe permission granted me by her MAJESTY to dedicate to her the "Apostolical Harmony of the Gospels," I think it right to say that the permission was sought, and granted, solely on the ground that the work is not of a controversial nature. If you will copy the two paragraphs of the dedica• lion which 1 have marked, it may dissipate the uneasiness of some of your readers. L. CARPENTER.. In accordance with Dr. Carpenter's wish, we sub join the paragraphs to which he calls our attention. On ascending the Throne of these realms, your MAJESTY made the joy-inspiring declaration, that you would consult the welfare of A LI, classes of your subjects. I ain happy, as well as grateful, that, in granting the permission ►rhich I sought, your MAJESTY has shown that no religious denomi nation among your subjects will be without a portion of that kind consideration which you can manifest without compro mising your own individual convictions, and without inter fering with those claims which are given to others by the law of the land. If the following work had been founded upon, or had been intended to teach, - the distinctive opinions which I hold as a Unitarian Christian, I would, on no account, have solicited the honour of dedicating it to your Majesty. But I am for tified by the published statement of a divine of the Esta blished Church, distinguished as a defender of its doctrines, honoured by his scientific rank, and greatly esteemed for his personal character, in representing my work as in no sense doctrinal in its nature.. If my own peculiarities of religious belief have ever biassed me in it, I am not conscious of the fact. But, Madam, there is, as divines of your own Church have expressed it, a common Christianity; and my labours in this volume have been directed to illustrate this, under the influence of reverence and love for our common Saviour. I hope it will be found, as expressed by the American re viewer, quoted in my preface, that "the author seems never to forget, and he never lets his reader forget, that it is a holy record he is analysing—the history of the Son of God that he is illustrating." We confess we have no great apprehension of any danger accruing from the contents of any work (even were it doctrinal), as regards the unsettling of her Majesty's religious principles, to the formation and es tablishment of which so much care and attention have throughout her life been devoted. But we must say that 'however naturally Dr. Carpenter may congratu late himself and his disciples on finding the Queen's patronage and "kind consideration" bestowed upon his work, we cannot but think the " uneasiness of our readers" on the subject not altogether unnatural, ta ken in conjunction with the fact that the Bishops of Norwich and Durham have become subscribers to a volume of sermons published by Mr. Turner, who, like Dr. Carpenter, holds Unitarian principles; nor can we blame them for having felt " uneasy" when they found that the Doctor's work, ,addressed to, and sanctioned by her Majesty, although not doctrinal, and not, as the Doctor says, even "founded upon the dis tinctive opinions which he holds as anUnitarian Chris tian," is founded upon " the most ancient opinion re specting the duration of our Saviour's ministry," &c. We admit that their feelings may now assume ano. ther character when they perceive how strangely ano malous the title and character of Dr. Carpenter's work are. • In his dedication, he openly avows himself an Unitarian, and then presents to his Sovereign a "Har mony of the Gospels, as regards the ministry of the Saviour 1" in whose divinity he believes not. In fact, we cannot comprehend the nature of the course the Doctor has adopted. From his own showing, all we can gather is, that wishing to obtain the royal patron age,-he has written a book on this Most sacred subject, totally at variance with his own religious principles. Indeed, he says—"lf my own peculiarities of religi ous belief have biassed me in it, 1 am not conscious of the fact." So, that he has avowedly concocted a work in the truth and genuineness of which he himself has no faith, and even goes the length of apologising for anything like an expression of his own sentiments or principles, which may by any accident have found their way into it. if the conduct of those who advised her Majesty to sanction this production astonished us in the first in stance, what we see of the production itself astonishes us still wore.

In the last number of " Nicholas Nicklehy," the heroine of the work, having answered an advertisement for a compa nion to a lady, is admitted with her mother to an interview, when the reader is presented with the following sketch of a female blue and exquisite : " What are your accomplishments ?" asked Mrs. Wititterly, with her eyes shut. - Kate blushed as she mentioned her principal acquirements, and Mrs. Nickleby checked them all off, one by one, on her fingers, having calculated the number before she came out. Luckily the two calculations agreod, so Mrs. Nickleby had no excuse for talking. "You arc a good temper?" asked Mrs. Wititterly, opening her eyes for an instant and shutting them again,. " I hope so," rejoined Kate. " And have a highly respectable reference for everything, have von ?" Kate replied she had, and laid her uncle's card on the table. " Have the goodness to draw your chair a little nearer, and let me look at you," said Mrs. Wititterly; "I am so very near-sighted that 1 can't quite discern your features." Kate complied, though not without some embarrassment, with this request, while Mrs. Wititterly took a languid survey of her countenance, which lasted some two or three minutes. " 1 like your appearance," said that lady, tinging a little bell. "Alphonse, request your master to come here." The page disappeared on this errand, and after a short in terval, during which not a word was spoken on either side, opened the door for an important gentleman of about eight and-thirty,* of rather plebian countenance and with a very light head of hair, who leant over Mrs. Wititterly for a little time, and conversed with her in whispers. "Oh," he said turning round, " yes. This is 'a most im portant matter. Mrs. Wititterley is of a very excitable na ture, very delicate, very fragile; a hot house plant, an exotic." __ . "Oh ! Henry, my dear," interposed Mrs. Wititterley. You are my love, you know you are; one breath—" said Mr. W., blowing an imaginary feather away—"pho ! you're gone." The lady sighed. "Your ;mil is too large for your body," said Mr. Wititterly. " Your intellect wears you out; all the medical men say so; you know that there is not a physician who is not proud of being called in to you. What is their unanimous declara tion? 'My dear doctor,' said Ito Sir Tuinley Snuffim, iii this very room, the very last time he came—`My dear doctor, what is my wife's complaint? Tell me all. I can bear it. Is it nerves?' `My dear fellow,' he said, be proud of that woman; make much of her; she is an ornament to the fa shionable world and to you. Her complaint is soul. It swells, expands, dilates—the blood fires, the pulse quickens, the excitement increases—Whew!'" Here Mr. Wititerly, who, in the ardour of description, had flourished his hand to within something less than an inch of Mrs. Nickleby's bon net, thew it hastily back again, and blew - his nose as fiercely as if it had beenjdone by some violent machinery. " You make me out worse than I ant, Henry," said Mrs. Wititterly, with a faint smile. " 1 do nut, Jolla, I do tint," said Mr. W. " The society in which you move—necessarily move, from you station, con nexion, and endowments—is one vortex and whirlpool of the most frightful excitement. Bless my heart and body, can I ever forget the night you danced with the Baronet's nephew, at the election ball, at Exeter! It was tremendous." • " I always suffer for these triumphs afterwards," said Mrs. Wititterly. " And for that very reason," rejoined the husband, " you must have a companion in 'whom there is great gentleness, great sweetness, excessive sympathy, and perfect repose." Here both Mr. and Mrs. Wititterly, who had talked rather at the Nicklebys that to each other, left off speaking, and looked at their two hearers, with au expression of countenance which seemed to say " What do you think of all that?" " Mrs. Wititterly," said her husband, addressing himself to Mrs. Nickleby, " is sought after and courted by glittering crowds and brilliant circles. She is excited by the opera, the drama, the fine arts, the—the—the—" "The nobility, my love," interposed Mrs. Wititterly. " The nobility, of course," said Mr. Wititterly, " and the military. She forms and expresses an immense variety of opinions, on an immense variety of subjects. if tome peo ple in public life were acquainted with Mrs. Wititterly's real opinion of them, they would not hold their heads perhaps quite as high as they do." " Hush, Henry," - said the lady: " this is scarcely fair." " I mention no names, Julia," replied Mr. Wititterly ; " and nob o dy i s i n j ure d. I medy mention the circumstance to show that you are no ordinary person; that there is a con : stant friction perpetually going on between your mind and your body, and that you must be soothed and tended. Now let me hear dispassionately and calmy what are this young lady's qualifications for the office." In obedience to this request, the qualifications were all gone through again, with the addition of many interruptions and cross-questionings from Mr. Wititterly. It was finally arranged that inquiries should be made, and a decisive answer addressed to Miss Nickleby, under cover to her uncle, within two days. These conditions agreed up, the page showed them down stairs as far as the staircase window, and the big footman relieving guard at that point, piloted them in perfect safety to the street door. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.-With deep regret we have to announce that the upper salt mine belonging to N. Ashton, Esq., and Sons, of Northwich, suddenly gave way about eleven o'clock on Tuesday last, carrying with it into the abyss below the engine, house, cottages, and stables; and, melan choly to relate, seven lives were lost. Only one man was married, the others were young men and boys. Very fortu nately, not any of the miners werein the pit at the time of the accident, Several horses were also killed, SELECT EXTRACTS. "WOLSEY AND HIS FOOL."—Among the cardinals who are recorded as having kept fools, our own Wolsey must not be forgotten ; and he would seem to have good cause to re pent of having disobeyed in this respect the ordinances of the church. Wolsey, who, as is well known, was the son of a butcher, received no heartier congratulations on obtaining his cardinal's hat than those which his jester offered him. "Thank God! you are a cardinal," said the jester; "now I have nothing more to desire than to see you Pope." The cardinal inquired of him his reasons for this wish. " Why," said he, "St. Peter was a fisherman, and he therefore or dained fasts, that fish might fetch a better price; now, your eminence being a butcher bred, would of course abolish fasts, and commanding us to eat meat, that your trade might flourish."—Bentley's Miscellany. AN ALBANIAN.—The lady of the vice-consul presided over our morning repast, and amused us with anecdotes of her servants. One is a fine handsome Albanian; fierce, caprici ous, and violent in love; he leaves his master for hours to gether, and when, on his return, he is questioned as to his strange conduct, be fixes his eyes on the ground, makes no reply, shows no sign either of sorrow or of anger, but d.es the seine thine the next time he is offertiled or ale. Butte is honest, and this is no little recommendation. His costume is beautiful. From a crimson cap a long black tassel falls over his light flowing locks. A shirt, open in front, is re tained in its .place by a dark brown jacket, likewise open; below this is a red leathern girdle, about ten inches wide, famished with a brace 'of silver-headed pistols, and a yata ghan formed part of his dress till his ungoverned passions ren dered it necessary to disarm him of that formidable weapon; from the waist hangs a very full white linen petticoat, the width of which is a subject of pride with the wearer, and va ries from 30 to 50 yards; long dark gaiters and shoes com plete the costume.—Elliott's Three Great Empires. WHY THE CHINESE DESPISE THE ENGLISH.-olle-Wollld at first sight think it impossible, even for the most ignorant of the Chinese, to believe in the inferiority of the European race, with so many evidences before their eyes of power and enterprise. And yet the conduct of the European states from the very beginning bas served 'to strengthen, if it did not create, this delusion. The Tigris is the great avenue of the western nations, where they crowd to make their salaam at the treshhold of the Celestial Empire—withheld from forcing an entrance, in reality by their mutual jealousies, but ap parently by the interdict of the Brotherof the Moon. They struggle with each other for precedence; they supplicate for permission to purchase the products of Chinese art and in dustry; and, if their native rudeness prompt them occasion ally to assume the character of sturdy beggars, at any seri ous show of anger at their encroachments, or determination to resist them, they retire like beaten hounds from the con test. In addition to this meatiness of attitude, they present themselves as the smugglers of opium, and are thus identi fied, in the imaginations of the good and intelligent, with the vilest classes of the people, and with everything that is hurt ful and degrading in the character of a nation. The habit of opium -smoking, introduced and ministered to by these " wandering demons" (for this is the literal meaning of the word Fan qui) excites the utmost consternation in the legis lature. It threatens to be as great a scourge to the civilised Chinese as rum has been to the uncivilised Indians of the West; and in consequence, they who make it their business to force or insinuate into the country the brutalising drug, have become objects at once of horror and contempt. If this he the attitude of the Fan-qui collectiVely, as individuals they are still less likely to awaken the respect of the natives. We, of course, talk of the mass, not of exceptions; for in judging ourselves of the character of a tribe of barbarians, we do not receive in evidence the conduct of the few well behaved individuals. Opium smoking conducts its victim to a species of idiocy, but by the grave and tranquil steps befit ting the eastern character; while the intoxication prodnced by spirits converts the drinker into a madman. The very basest of the populace, therefore, even while indulging in opium themselves, look with contempt and abhorrence upon , the beseting vice of foreign sailors. They mob the frantic strangers in the streets, pursue them with yells and hootings, cheat them, rob them, cudgel them, and turning away, thank the gods that they were born in a civilised country: The officers in very numerous cases, swindle the shopkeepers of Canton out of their goods : and frequently, in -order to avoid paying the duty, embark their purchases by force of arms. But perhaps the rudeness of all classes is still more atroci ous and disgusting than even drunkenness and swindling to a people whose morals are manners, and who consider polite ness not only a social but a religious duty. The very dress of the Fan-quis, mean, sneaking, and contemptible, when compared with the full and flowing robes of the East, must foster a prejudice instilled in infancy, and strengthened by observation; while the eager admiration bestowed by the strangers upon their most insignificant toys, and the anxiety they evince to bring them away as objects of curiosity, must confirm - the idea of the natives that China is the emporium of art and intelligence, and the kingdoms of the western world nothing- more than the haunts of barbarians and roving banditti. CARBONIC ACID AS A MOVING POWER.—Among the most attractive of the scientific novelties exhibited at the late meet ing of the British Association, at Newcastle, was the solidifi cation of carbonic acid gas, by means of apparatus invented by Robert Addams, Esq. As this remarkable phenomenon has met with less attention in the newspaper reports than on the spot, we have requested Mr. West, who was present, fo furnish us with a short account of the experiment& The apparatus consists of a strong wrought iron vessel, in ap pearance like a small swivel gun, two feet long, and six inches in diameter, suspended by trunnions, on an iron frame; of a vessel similar in form and size, but mounted perpendi cularly on a flat stand, and of two pumps worked by power ful levers, together with the needful valves and connecting tubes. Into the generator, or suspended vessel, are put pro per quantities of bicarbonate of soda and warm water; along open tube is also inserted containing sulphuric acid ; the mouth is closed with a screw valve, and the generator being rapidly whirled round on its trunnions, the sulphuric acid Howes out and is mixed with the solution of bicarbonate of soda. The carbonic acid, disengaged, having no room to expand, is condensed into a liquid. So far the apparatus resembles that first employed for the same purpose by Mons. Thellussier, in Paris. But stopping short here, Thellussier could only make use of one-third of the carbonic acid dis engaged, while Mr. Addams, by pumping into the second vessel, obtains nearly the whule. On allowing this liquid, carbonic acid, to escape through a box, a hollow brass cylin der into the atmosphere, theinstantaneous evaporation of one portion causes it to absoib so much solid caloric acid resem bles in appearance and texture newly _fallen snow, or small hail; it evaporates rapidly, but not instantly; from the at mosphere of gas around it, preventing close contact, its in tense coldness is not immediately felt, but the brass box in which it is collected, or the solid acid itself when long held, blisters the skin like a hot iron. By placing a portion of the solid acid on a few pounds of mercury, moistened with nether to improve the conduction, the mercury soon becomes solid, and thus the freezing of mercury, an experiment which many chemists have Lever seen, is perforated rapidly on a large scale, and with the greatest ease and certainty. Several curious experiments were shown by means of the frozen mercury ; it was doubled up and placed in water, which in stantly froze, while the mercury returned to its ordinary state of fluid. But the most remarkable occurred accidentally: on touching a mass of cold iron, the mercury fused and ran down front so good a conductor, like lead or tin in a furnace. Professor Graham did trot speak too strongly when lie said that such an apparatus would become as needful in the labo ratmy for the production of cold as a furnace for producing heat. But the circumstance of most consequence in relation to its practical employment' is, that at a temperature of 150 degrees the liquid acid exerts an expansive force of 70 atmos pheres, or 1050 pounds on the square inch, and every increase of a single degree of temperature augments the pressure by upwards of an atmosphere, or 15 pounds on the inch. The iron cylinders are proved before being used, by a pressue of 150 atmospheres, and Mr. West states, that remembering the enormous power obtained, and observing the perfect ease and apparent safety with which this force is managed, he, contrary to his previous views, no longer considers the use of liquid carbonic acid as a moving power to be at all chimerical. Should it be applied with success, our present locomotives would be discarded, stoppages for water would be needless, and on long lines of railway, or for long voyages, steam would be superseded by carbonic acid.—Leeds Mercury. TAKING POSSESSION.—" A reg'lar break up of the con stitootion."—Kate busied herself in what she had to do, and was silently arranging the various articles of decoration in the best taste she could display, when she started to heer a strange man's voice in the room ; and started again to observe, on looking round, that a white hat, and a red neckerchief, and a broad round face, and a large head, and a part of a green coat, were in the room too. "Don't alarm yourself, miss," said the proprietor of these appearances. " I say; this here's the mantie-making coo-sari, a'nt it ?" "Yes," rejoined Kate, greatly astonished: " W hat did you want?" The stranger answered not; butflrst looking back, as though to beckon to some unseen person outside, came very delibe rately into the room, and was closely followed by a little man in brown, very much the worse for wear, who - brought with him a mingled fumigation of stale.tobacco and fresh onions. The clothes of this gentleman were much bespeckled with flue; and his shoes, stockings, and nether garments, from his heels to the waist buttons of his coat inclusive, were profusely embroidered with splashes of mud, caught a fortnight previ ous—before the setting-in of the fine weather. Kate's very natural impression was, that these engaging individuals had called with the view of possessing themselves unlawfully of any portable articles that chanced to strike their fancy. She did not attempt to disguise her apprehension, and made a move towards the door. "Wait a minnit," said the man in the green coat, closing it softly, and standing with his back against it. " This is a unpleasant bisness. Vere's your governor ?" "My what—did you say ?" asked Kate, trem bling; for she thought "governor" might be slang for watch or motley. " Mister Muntlehiney," said the man. " Wot's become of hint? Is he at home ?" "He is above stairs, I believe," replied Kate, a little reassured by this inquiry. "Do you want him ?" "No," replied the visitor. "I don 't ezactly want him, if it's made a favour on. You can jist give him that 'ere card; and tell him if he wants to speak to me, and save trouble, here I am, that's all." With these words the stranger put a thick square card into Kate's band, and turning . to his friend remarked; with an easy air; "that the rooms was a good high pitch ;" to which the friend assented, addincs,• by way of illustration, "that there was lots of room for a little boy to grow up in a man in either on 'em, without much fear of his ever bringing his head into contract with the ceiling." After ringing the hell which would summon Madame Mantalini, Kate glanced at the card, and saw that it displayed the name of " Seeley," together with some other information to which she had not had time to refer, when her attention was attracted by Mr. Seeley himself, who, walking up to one of the cheval glasses, gave it a hard poke in the centre with his stick, as coolly as if it had been of cast iron. "Good plate this here, 'Fix," said Mr. Scaley to his friend. "Ah!" rejoined Mr. 'fix, placing the marks of his four fin gers, and a duplicate impression of his thumb en a piece of sky-blue silk ; and this here article warn't made for nothing, mind yoti." From the silk Mr. 'fix transferred his admira tion' to some elegant articles of wearing apparel, while Mr. Scaley adjusted his neckcloth at leisure before the glass, and aftewards, aided by its 'reflection, proceeded to the minute consideration of a pimple on his chin, in which absorbing oc cupation he was yet eng aged when Madame Mantalini enter ing the room, uttered an exclamation which aroused him. "Oh ! Is this the misses ?" inquired Scaley. "It is Madame Mantaliui," said Kate. "Then," said Mr. Scaley, produ cing a small document from his pocket and unfolding it very slowly, "this is a writ of execution, and if it's not conwenient to settle we'll go over the house at wunst, please, and take the inwentory." Poor Madame Mantalini wrung her hands for grief, and rung the belt for her husband; which done, she fell into a chair and a fainting fit simultaneously.- Such was the posture of affairs when Mr. Mantalini hurried in, and as that distinguished specimen had had a pretty extensive inter ' course with Mr. Scaley's fraternity in his bachelor days, and was, besides, very far from being taken by surprise on the present agitating occasion, he merely shrugg e d his sh o uld ers , thrust his hands down to the bottom of his pockets, elevated his eyebrows, whistled a bar or two, swore an oath or two, and, sitting astride upon a chair, put the best face upon the matter with great composure and decency. "What's the demd total ?" was the first question he asked. " Fifteen hun dred and twenty-seven pound, four and ninepence ha'penny," replied Mr. Seeley, without moving a limb. "The halfpenny be deind," said Mr. Mantalini, impatiently. "By all means if you vish it," retorted Mr. Scaley; "and the ninepence too." "It don't matter to us if the fifteen hundred and twenty seven pound went along w i th it, th a t I kn o w on," ob served. Mr. Tix. Not a button," said Scaler. " Well ;" said the same gentleman, after a pause, " Wot's to be done— anythink ? .Is it only a small crack, or a out and out smash? A break up of the censtitootion is it— werry good. Then Mr. Tom esk-vire, you must info rm y our angel wife and lovingfamilyo as you won't sleep at h ome f or t h ree nights to oin ealng of being in possession he re .

A DOMESTIC PICTURE.—You may talk about the domes tic hearth, and the pleasures of home, and the family circle, and all that sort o'thing, squire. It sounds very clever, and reads dreadful pretty; but what does it end in at last? Why . , a scoldin' wile with her shoes down at heel, a see-sawite in a rockin'-chair; her hair either not done up at all, or all stuck chock-full of paper and pins, like porcupine quills, a smokin' chimbly a puttin' your eyes out ; crying children a screamin' your ears out ; extravagant wasteful helps a emptying of your pockets out, and the whole thing a worryin of your patience out.—Sam Slick, New Series. QUICK TRAVELLING IN 1767.—Mr. D'Alton, in his Me moirs of the Archbishops of Dublin, gives the following extract of a letter from Mr. John Carpenter to Dr. Curry, as an instance of what was deemed in those times expeditious travelling: " I embarked on the 18th instant. I landed that night at Holyhead, set out next morning in the van for Ches ter, which I reached, after a great deal of fatigue on the 20th, and that same day took post for London, where I arrived on - the 24th. * * * The great expedition of this joruney was expensive; but it was necessary, as my lord has been here a fortnight'. ANECDOTE OF THE LATE SIR EDWARD NADI-E.—When a young man, travelling in a post-chaise up Shooter's Hill, a highwayman rode up, presented a pistol into the window . , and demanded his money or his life. Sir Edward, then a very athletic man, seized the arm of the ruffian, twisted the pistol from it, dragged him through the window, and placing him by Lis side to keep him quiet, ordered the post-boy to drive on. The humble supplications of the robber were an swered with, " Be easy, boy, be easy; I won't hurt you." Still the conscience-stricken highwayman kept pleading, till at length the chaise'reached the captain's lodgings, S,A hen he hauled the fellow out of the coach, walked him up to the s.l' ar - ret, and locked themselves in. Sir Edward then took off his coat, and said, " Now, sir, I neither mean to hang you nor hurt you; but I'll just give you a broth of a bating;"'which having accomplished, he opened the door, bade the robber be off, and the next time he stopped a coach, to tap at the window, and ask if Pat Nagel was inside, before-he ventured to poke his pistol into it. PREACHIN' TO THE NARVES INSTEAD OF THE JUDO; MENT.—" 1 recollect a lady once tho,' converted by preachin - to her nerves, that was an altered woman all the rest o' her days." " How was that ?" said she;" these stories illustrate the science of religion. I like to hear them." " There was a lady," said I, (and I thought I'd give her a story for her book,) "that tried to rule her husband a leetle tighter than was agreeable—meddlin' with things she didn't understand, and dictatin' in matters of politics and religion, and every thing a'most. So one day her husband had got up consider ably airly in the inornin', and went out and got a tailor, and brought him into his wife's, bed-room, afore she was out o' bed. Measure that woman, said he, for a pair of breeches, she's determined to wear them, and I'm resolved folks shall know it; and he shook the cow-skin over the tailor's head to show him he intended to be obeyed. It cured her : she begged, and prayed, and cried, and promised obe dience to her husband. He spared her, but it effectuated a cure. Now that's what I call preachin' to the narves."— Sam Slick. AMERICAN TOURISTS.—" You must see for yourself—you can't lam nothin' from books. I've read all the travels in America, and there ain't one that's worth a cent. They don't understand us. They remind me of a lawyei exam inin' of a witness; be don't want either the truth, or nothin' but the truth, but he wants to pick out of him gist as much as will prove bis case, d'ye see, and would like him to keep dark about the rest; puts artful questions to him on purpose to get an answer to suit him; stops him when be talks too fast, leads him when he goes too slow, praises his own wit nesses sky high, and abuses the other side for lying,- equivo catin', perjured villains. That's gist the ease with English travellers; instead of lookin' all round and seein'. into things first, and then comin' to an opinion, they make up their minds afore they come, and then lo o k for they to support their views. First comes a great high tory, and a republic smells so bad in his nostrils, he's got his nose curl'd up like a pug nose all through his journey. He sees no established church, and he swear's there's no religion ; and he sees no livery helps, and he says its all vulgar; and if he sees a citizen spit, he jumps a one side as sca re d as if it u-or a rifle agoin' off. Then comes a radical, (and them English radicals are can tankerous-lookin' critters—that's a fact—as sour as vinegar, and lookin' as cross and as hungry as a Lear gist starved out the spring,) and they say we have the slavery of opinion here; that our preachers want moral courage, and that our great cities are caused with the aristocracy of wealth. There is no pleasin' either on 'ern.—Then come what minister used to call the optimists, a set of folks who talk you deef about the perfectibility of human natur' ; that men like caterpillars, will all turn into beautiful critters with wings like butterflies, -La sort of grub angels;—that our great nation is a paradise, and our folks gist gettin' out o' the chroysolis state into something divine. I seldom or never talk to none o' them, unless it be to b.am'em. They think they know everything, and all they got to do is, tii op the Hudson like a shot, into the lakes full split, off to Mississippi and down to New Or leans full chisel, back to New York and up Hillock, and home in a liner, and write a book. They have a whole stock of notes. Spittin—gougin'—lynchin'—burnin' alive—steam boats blowed up—snags--slavery—stealin'--Texas—state prisons—men talk slow—women talk loud—both walk fast —chat in steam-boats and stage-coaches—anecdotes—and so on. Then out comes a book. It' it's a tory writes it, then the tory - paper says it's the best pictur' they have seen; — lively, interestin', intelligent. If a radical, then radical papers say its a very philosophical work, (whenever a feller gets over his head in it, and cruel unintelligible, he's deep iu philosophy, that chap,) statesman-like view, able work, throws great light on the politics of the day. I wouldn't give a chaw of tobackey for the books of all of 'em tied up anti put into a meal bag together."—Samuel Slack. USEFUL. TO ENTIGRANTS.—Few persons are aware. that in the eastern part of Lower Canada, and along the British frontier, there is a tract et land called the St. Francis dis trict, in which the eastern townships are comprelieuded. This locale has been overlooked by emigrants who have pro ceeded direct to Upper Canada, or the valley of the Ohio, when they might be accommodated much better and cheaper with infinitely less trouble, and so save themselves a thou sand miles journey. The seignioral system of Lower Canada does not extend to the eastern townships, the tenure of the lands there being free and common soccage on the English principle ; the soil is of the most fertile description, and the' scenery the most beautiful and luxuriant ima , s"inable, being diversified by bill, valley, dale, lake, river, and forest ; and topographers declare that it bears a strong similarity in its general features to the north of England. The inhabi tants are principally the descendants of the American loyalists who vacated their pleasant seats on the other side of the boundary line, when the independence of the United States was ratified, and who are now among the most enthusiastic assertors of the British supremacy in Canada. The habitans look upon them with jealousy and dislike, on account of their superior enterprise and perseverance, and because they find them their most formidable rivals in the supply of the Mon treal markets. In this favoured region all•the advantages of other sites are to be found, while a settlement here is attended with fewer disadvantages than elsewhere. The lands are all more or less cleared, the roads are made out, they are in the vicinity of markets, and, that great desiteratum in all colonial places, a most excellent syptein of education is established. The system of law is British, and is administered by local courts, having no dependence upon those tribunals where the old French polity is still maintained. It has long been a matter of astonishment that emigrants should overlook this part of the country, which is so entirely within their reach; take long journeys into the upper province; or change their habits, manners, associations, and allegiance, by a profitless experiment in Illinois and the western states; when a journey of less than 200 miles from Quebec would set them down iu one of the most highly-faveured spots in the British dominions. It is not less surprising that the emigration agents of govern ment should not have turned their attention to this quarter, as the encouragement of settlers there would line the frontier with a race of sturdy and British subjects, presenting an im pregnable barrier against American encroachment. on the . one side, and Canadian restlessness and disaffection on the other.—Atlas. THE COUNTRY MANAGER'S PONY.—" He's a good pony at bottom," said Mr. Crumles, turning to Nicholas. He might have been at bottom, but he certa;nlY was not at top, seeing that his coat was of the roughest and most ill-favoureCt kind. So Nicholas merely observed, that he shouldn't won der if he was.—" Many and many is the circuit this pony has gone," said Mr. Crumles, flicking him skilfully on the eyelid for old acquaintance sake. "Is quite one of us. His mo ther was on the stage."—" Was she, indeed ?" rejoined Ni cholas.—" She ate apple-pie at a:circus fir upwards of 'four-' teen years," said the manager; " fired pistols, and went to bed in a night-cap; and, in short, took the low comedy en tirely. His father was a dancer."—" Was he at all distin guished?"—" Not very," said the manager, "He was rather a low sort of pony. The fact is, that he had been originally jobbed out by the day, and he never quite got Over his old habits. He was clever in meld-drama too, but too broad, too broad. When the mother died, he took the port wine . busi ness."—" The port wine business!" cried Nicholas.—" Drink ing port wine with the clown," said the manager; " but lie was greedy, and one night bit off the bowl of the glass, and chocked himself, so that his vulgarity was the death of bins at last."—Nicholas Nickleby. CuulasiTtEs FROM ST. KILDA.—We have been favoured with a sight of two metallic ornaments which were brought from St. Kilda by a gentleman who lately visited that remote spot " placed far amid the melancholy main." Both are for the adornment of the person, and both for the decoration of the breast. The one is a round piece of iron, in shape like the washer of one of our railway waggons, only it is much ruder in its shape, and that it has a piece of wire wrapped round it for a tongue. It is intended for a breast pin, was taken from the plaid of one of the prettiest girls on the island, and is a melancholy proof of the low state of taste in the arts enjoyed by the natives—being such an article as we could imagine would be found in use among the aborigines of New South Wales. The other article is one of several of the same kind that was found in digging, lying among a heap of human bones. It is very probably a military gorget— being made of fine brass, in two pieces, the outer one richly reticulated and ornamented with embossed figures. How could such a military ornament, of fine manufacture, be de posited in so remote and lonely a situation ? Could any of the - vessels of the Spanish Armada, many of which rounded - the Hebrides, he wrecked on the island? This is the most probable supposition, and is the solution of the difficulty which has occurred to the possessor of the curiosity. Both of the articles may be seen at our office for a few days.—Kil marnock Jeurnal. EATING A NEWSPAPER.—A few years ago the National Intelligence:- had some sensible remarks on the subject of edit ing a Paper. One idea expressed; has frequently struck us with great force. Many people estimate the ability of a Newspaper, and the industry and talent of its Editor, by the variety and quantity of Editorial matter which it contains. Nothing can be more fallacious. It is comparatively an easy task for a writer to pour out daily columns of words—words upon any and all subjects. His ideas may flow in one " weak, washy, everlasting flood," and his command of language May enable him to string them together like bunches of onions, and yet his paper may be a meagre, and poor con cern. But what is the labour, the toil of such a man„ who displays his " leader matter" so largely, to that imposed upon the judicious, well-informed editor, who exercises his vocation, with an hourly consciousness of its responsibilities, and its duties, and devotes himself to the conduct of his paper, with the same care and assiduity that a sensible lawyer bestows upon a suit, or a humane physician upon a patient, without regard to show or display ! Indeed the mere teriling Fart of editing a paper is but a small portion of the work. I'he industry even is not shown there. The care, the taste, the time employed in selectiog is far more important, and the tact of a good editor is shown more by his selection than any thing else; and that we all know, is half the battle. But as we have said an editor ought to be estimated, and his labours understood and appreciated, by the general conduct of his paper—its tone, its temper, its manner, its uniform consistent course, its principles, its aims, its manliness, its courtesy, its dignity, its propriety. To preserve all these as they should he preserved, is enough to occupy fully the time and attention of any man. If to this be added the geneial supervision of the newspaper establishment, which most editors have to encounter, the wonder is, how they can find time, or " head-room," to write at all.— iVew York Herald. NEW POOR Laws.—On Thursday last, two pauper child ren, boys, in the uorkhouse of the Thingoe union, Were brought before the Magistrates at Bury St. Edmunds, on charge of running away from the union workhouse, and also of stealing two suits of clothes. Evidence was given that the children had escaped out of the house, and the stealing consisted of their having gone out with their clothes on. e magistrates,after expatiating upon the enormity 'of the offence committed by the urchins, and their own lenienev, sentenced the children to 14 days hard labour.—Sulfotk Herald. 7 . 7c05z10 Entrab for toabing.
