Etttraturr. --40- POETRY. WE SHALL BE HAPPY YET, BY THE LATE MRS. JAMES GRAY Fear not, beloved, though clouds may lour, Whilst rainbow visions melt away, Faith's holy star hath still a power That may the deepest midnight sway. Fear not ! I take a prophet's tone, Our love can neither wane nor set ; My heart grows strong in trust—Mine Own, We shall be happy yet ! What though long anxious years have passed Since this true heart was vowed to thine, There comes for us a light at last Whose beam upon our path shall shine. Ye who have loved 'midst doubts and fears, Yet neve- with one hour's regret, There comes a joy to gild our tears— We shall be happy yet. Ay, by the wandering b rds, that find A home beyond the mountain wave, Though many a wave and storm combined To how then summer suns that brightly rise Though erst in mournful tears they set, By all Love's hopeful prophecies, "We shall be happy yet! —Dublin University Mug VARIETIES.

THE CONSERVATIVES IN OPPOSITION.—WhiIe they steadily refused to force themselves into office, Sir Robt. Peel and his party acted as a constant drag upon the chariot-wheels of the movement. Their motto was, " Let us have no more changes. You gave us the Re form Bill as a final measure, and a final measure we are determined that it shall be." And no more changes did they sanction, save only in regard to institutions which appeared to them to be much less intimately connected with their own interests as an at istocracy than the present state of affairs proves them .o h,ve. been. Now let us not be misunderstood. The insertion of the tenant-at-will clause into the original act was accomplished with the entire concurrence of the whole party. It seemed to afford them some counterpoise against the ten-pounders; it bid fair to give then. the counties, however weak they might be in the boroughs. But did any of the followers of Sir Robert Peel in 1833 and 1834 look the length of their noses farther? Surely not; otherwise they would have resisted to the death such a measure as the New Poor law Bill, which has completely alienated the labour ing classes from the classes above them, converting into bitter enemies the men who used to be the humble but devoted friends of the aristocracy. Surely not; other wise they never would have consented to the suppression of ten bishopricks in Ireland, thus weakening the influ ence of Protestantism in the very portion of the empire where it stood most in need of support, and encouraging further attacks upon the church of which they professed to be the champions. These things, however, they gave up, because their leader told them that it was wise to do so. They flung from them the affections of the poor by invading their vested rights, and alarmed and offended the clerav by the ind'fference with which they looked on while O'Connell and his adherents, the popish hierarchy, achieved so signal a triumph over the It ish branch of the united church. But no sooner was a proposal made to extend the franchise, or interfere with the game-laws, or reverse the financial system of the empire, or promote an increased freedom of trade, than to a man they denounced it. Moreover, to do them justice, they were marvellously tender both of the property and the privileges of the church in England. They accepted a Tithe Commuta tion Bill, it is true ; but they said, and perhaps believed —some of them—that it would be as advantageous to the clergy as the country gentlemen. But they would not hear of Lord Melbourne's plan of national education. And as to church reform, the term was never used, ex cept vaguely by the whigs, and then it was hooted down as synonymous with confiscation. Thus in every ques tion which appeared to threaten their own influence, or their rentals, or toe arrangements, fiscal or otherwise, which were connected with their personal influence, the conservative opposWon winked wonders.

Accordingly, the commission sat; extinguished eanonries; remodelled sees; reduced bishops from the dignity of landowners to the respectable position of state pensioners; applied tithes and lands, bequeathed by good men in Dur ham for the spiritual benefit of Durhamites, to the relief of the spiritual necessities of the dwellers in Cornwall and Sussex ; and boldly transferred a prelate from Bangor to Ripon, with all his Welch revenues in his band.

I SECOND EDITION. Standard-office, Ten o'clock LAST NIGHT'S PARLIAMENT. The petitions of the Grand Junction Railway, for their seven branches, were yesterday declared proved by the committee In the House of Lords, Lord STAN LEY presented a petition from the county of Lancaster, signed by 12,639 persons in favour of protection to agriculture. HOUSE OF COMMONS Mr. CLIFTON presented a petition, signed by 12,000 of the inhabitants of North Lancashire, praying the House to continue protection to agriculture. Sir R. PEEL explained in relation to his reply to the Noble Lord's question the other night as to his answer on the subject of the reduction of the corn duties, that he could find no precedent for the Treasury sanctioning the reduction of the duty on the receipt of the reports, and that, therefore, he could not consent to any redaction on the corn duties until the proposed alteration should become law ; but so convinced was he of the necessity of proceeding with the alteration on the corn laws at once that he proposed to proceed with the measure for the alteration of the corn-laws, in preference to any other public measure, and to every other alteration in the tariff, until it should become law. In reply to Mr. M. Phillips, . . Sir It. PEEL said that if the debate should be adjourned over Tuesday, there would be no alternative but to re sume the debate on Wednesday at twelve and finish it at six. The right hon. baronet also explained that neces sarily there must be an interval between the first and second readinv , of the Corn Bill, during which he might bring forward ° other articles in the tariff, but thet he would proceed with the Corn Bill with all the speed that the forms of the house would permit. On the motion that the order of the day for the house resolve itself in committee being read, a host of petitions on the corn laws were presented, after which Mr. PHILIP MILES rose to move the amendment of which he had given notice on Friday last, viz., that the hau-e resolve itself into committee that day six months. lie admitted the failure of the potato crop in Ireland, but the oat and wheat crops were above the average, and there was no fear of a famine. If there was danger of that he would open the ports. If the pre miers opinions had undergone a change, he should have followed the example of the member for Dorsetshire. He could not see where these changes were to lead, and if these were agreed to, greater would follow which would shake the public credit. (Hear, hear.) The honourable gentleman then proceeded to take a review of the history of our commercial policy since the accession of Sir R. Peel to office, and contended that the prosperity of the industrious classes had been owing not to the free trade measures of the government, but to the immense increase of our railway system, which had created a demand for labour, and in conse quence of which the prices of iron had risen enormously —to the cessation of war in India—and to the succession of good harvests, and he believed that much of that pros perity would have taken place if the noble lord opposite had been in power He denied that the amount of exports afforded a fair indication of commercial pros perity. Foreign markets were glutted with our goods. It was the home trade which afforded the finest ele ments for the calculation of the actual amount of our commercial prosperity. With regard to the corn laws, the law of 1842 had worked well ; it had secured steadiness of price, and he would not consent to its altera tion. The Right Honourable Baronet had said in 1842 that 56a was a fair price for the farmer. He would like to know what he considered a fair price now. The Right Honou able Baronet said his proposed measure would not lower the price of wheat, what then became of the argu mlnt of the cheap loaf. WEST INDIA MAIL.

Other lines had been determined upon and samctioned by the legislature, which will, it was confidently anticipated, give increased stimulus to the commerce of the island. Fine weather had prevailed in the Windward Islands. The crops throughout were very favourable, and much pod was expected to result from the various railroads in contemplation. MEXICO.

Some few skirmishes have taken place, and two or three lives had been lost, but not more. A PICTURE'S WORTII.--" And yet," responded 1, " the best artists are always the most admired. Some in- ferior ones may, from adventitious circumstances, obtain patronage in high places, but they do not command, even with this advantage, the popular voice. Whose names are most familiar to the public mouth? The names which the highest talent has made memorable. Around what pictures in an exhibition are the largest and most admir ing crowds collected ? The pictures which high talent has made glorious." " Fashion," r. turned Stiarpson, " holds sway more or less in every thing, and crowds be. get crowds. Besides, there are some kinds of power which, employed on certain subjects, will always interest even the dull herd. But rarely, indeed, save under the influence of fashion and flock.following, do the dull herd seek pasturage on the eminences of art. They prefer to leave the fair mountain,' to ' batten on this moor,' where their low spirits are quite at home. Of course they do not go away without getting a glimpse of the pictures. the frames at all events, to which great names are attached ; because they are aware that in the cant of the `circle' in which they move, be it wide or narrow, they are required to take part ; and they are alive to the necessity of falling into ecstasies, whether the present performances of those leading artists be exquisite or so-so. But it is the com monplace that in reality enchants them ; the portrait of a lady, the kitten with the hall of cotton, the intolerable hamper of game, the detestable bunch of flowers, and the execrable haket of fruit." " That such execrables are yearly exhibited in sundry places is admitted, but you are not thence to assume that they are admired - ' " I prove it," interposed Sharpson, " when I prove that they are painted.

PHENOMENA OF SOUND.—In the Arctic regions per sons can converse at more than a mile distant when the thermometer is below zero. In air, sound travels from 1130 to 1142 feet per second. In water, sound passes at the rate of 4708 feet per second. Sound travels in air about 900 feet for every pulsation of a healthy person at 75 in . a minute. A bell sounded under water may be heard under water at 1200 feet distant. Sounds are dis tinct at twice the distance on water that they are on land. In a balloon, the barking of dogs on the ground may be heard at an elevation of three or four miles. On Table Moun tain, a mile above Cape Town, every noise in it, and even words, may be heard distinctly. The fire of the English on landing in Egypt was plainly heard 130 miles on the sea. Dr. Jameson says, in calm weather he heard every word of a sermon at a distance of two miles. Water is a better conductor of sound than air. Wood is also a powerful conductor of sound, and so is flannel or riband. Sound affects particles of dust in a sunbeam, cobwebs, and water in musical glasses ; it shakes small pieces of paper offs string in concord. Deaf persons may converse through deal rods held between the teeth, or hell to the throat or breast. Echoes are formed by elliptical surfaces combined with surrounding surfaces, or by such of them a , fall into the respective distances of the surface of an ellipse, and are therefore directed to the other focus of the ell ipse; for all the distances from both foci to such surface are equal, and hence there is a concentration of sounds at those points direct from one focus, and reflected back again from the other focus. An echo returns a monosyl lable at 70 feet distance, and another syllable for every 40 feet additional. The echo of artillery is increased or created by a cloud or clouds. Miners distinguish the sub stance bored by the sound ; and physicians distinguish the action of the heart or lungs by a listening tube. Gam blers can distinguish, in tossing money, which side is un. dermost, though covered by the hand.—Hogy's Weekly Instructor. Standard-office, Half-past Twelve o'clock Through the attention and exertions of Mr. Ayl ward, the news-agent, we were put in possession of the London morning papers immediately on their arrival by the express train. Last Night's Parliament.—Continued. '""Mr. MILES concluded by deprecating the stimulus sought to be given to manufacturing enterprise, which had already reached far enough. He then proposed, " that the Chairman leave Lie Chair that day six months." Sir W. HENTHCOTE seconded the amendment. He did not join in imputing dishonest motives to Sir Robert Peel, he merely thought the measure proposed a visionary scheme. That scheme was also partial operation acting forthe almost exclusive advantage of those engaged in manufacturing pnrsuits. The peculiar burdens to which the agriculturist was exposec, rendered it difficult to afford him adiquate com pensation. Tie colonial corn growing interest was dis regarded by the proposed measure. The duty of sup porting Sir ROBERT PEEL as a Conservative Minister, he admitted, ought to prevent any factious opposition, but the responsibility of embarrassing the relationship between Government and their supporters, properly lay with him who had varied from his original policy. _ Mr. LARCELLES denied that the Government had altered their policy. The speeches which Sir Robert Peel had delivered since his elevation to power had uniformly pointed in the direction of Free-trade. The truth of that theory had been made manifest by the constant results of experience, and Sir Robert Peel had merited the gratitude of the country by the measure he had proposed. Lord NORREYS had refrained from condemning Sir Robert Peel until his measures were published to the country •, his suprise and disapprobation were, however, equal when he first learned the extent of these proposals. It was incredible that _the Minister, who in 1839 avowed an unquali fi ed adherence to the Protective System, shall in 1846 propose an entire repeal of that system. His con duct was unfair to both his supporters and opponents. Mr. B. COCHRANE denied that there was any compro mise of principle in the course pursued by Sir R. Peel. He agreed to the dictum th it " whoever proposed an un alterable law, was an unalterable fool." Parliament was something superior to an assemblage of dele2ates. There was real inconsistency in the Duke of Richmond and Lord Stanley, who had co-operated to bring about the Revolu tion of 1830, now opposing the repeal of the corn-laws, as a revolutionary measure. Lord North, Mr. Pitt, Mr. Huskisson and Mr. Canning, had successively lent their great names to the support of a free-trade policy. He (Mr. Cochrane) should vote for this measure, because he Preferred legislation to agitation, and also because he was favourable to the principle of genuine protection. Mr. DEEDE s regarded the measure proposed by Go vernment as an experiment upon native industry, fraught with great injury to the country. It would certainly cause the withdrawal of a large tract of land out of culti vation, and diminish the permanent supply of specie in the national coffers. Upon these grounds he should offer it his opposition. Sir JOHN WALSH denied that the Corn-law question was one of rent merely, though that was of no trifling moment. Th • landowners were but a small class, hold ing in a very few hands large territorial possessions. The landed proprietors amounted in 1845, according to Mr. M'Culluch, to two hundred thousand persons. This very numerous body wonld be affected by what ever injuries a Free-trade policy might inflict. The protective system had been in existen,!e cotempora neously with a great increase in the population, and a great progress in the commerce of the country. Results. therefore, witnessed in its favour. It was only necessary to guarantee security to agriculture, in order to elicit a perfect development of its resources. He contended that land was liable to peculiar burdens There was no reason to fear a great importation of corn from many parts which at present contributed nothing to our supplies, and at very low rates. The failure of the crops in Ireland had been advanced as a reason for the present measure; but why should a temporary calamity prompt so great and perma nent a chrnge ? The proposed measure would, if adopted, ruin Irish agriculture, and destroy the Protestant Church in Ireland. It had been brought about by an association which every lover of order ough to oppose. Mr. A. J. B. 11 oPE considered a preliminary inquiry was, whether the existing parliament were morally as well as legally competent to take cognizance of the question of Free-trade or Protection. They had been returned upon principles very different from those which at present held sway in parliament. A revolution in the commercial pm. NI of the country was being wrought, and the proper persons to carry it would have been the members of the Anti-Corn-law League. _ PROGRESS OF MUSIC IN ENGLAND.—The prevailing notion that music, as a science and as an art, has now reached a height far beyond that of any former age, is a mischievous error, of which it would be well that the world were disabused. Because music has always been chang ing. it has been taken for granted that it.has always been advancing ; but these changes have often been the reverse of progressive—the mere dictates of caprice and fashion, they have often substituted ignorance and frivolity for depth, learning, and earnestness. In this country, doubt less, musical accomplishment as it is called—the smatter ing, that is, which all young ladies, and many young gen tlemen, acquire from fashionable teachers, is mere widely diffused than it ever was before. But it is equally certain that there were days. in the olden time, when the educated classes in England were much better instructed in music than they are now. In the days of Queen Bess, know ledge of the principle s of the art, and skill in its practice, were so generally diffused among these classes, that any lady or gentleman who betrayed an ignorance of it was re garded as low-bred, and unfit to make a decent figure in good company. * * The books which, " according to custom, were brought to the table" when supper was ended, consisted of the works of the great English and Italia:, madrigalists of that time—those wonderful speci mens of vocal harmony which (like the sculptures of an cient Greece) modern art has vainly attempted to imitate, and whose performance demands an extent of instruction very different from that which is included in the musical accomplishment of our day. Compare one of those old English suppers with a modern musical party. One young lady, who has had what might be a decent patrimony spent on music masters, sits down to the piano-forte. and boldly attacks the last fantasia of Thalberg ; another fa vours the company with an entirely new leading of Grisi's favourite bravura in Donizetti's new opera. Their efforts are lost amd the clatter of tongues ; for it generally hap pens that music (and with such music, how can it be otherwise ?) is a signal for conversation, except, peradven ture, to some unfortunate wight, who, constrained by po liteness or some other motive, listens, like Pope, With sad civility, and an aching head, and then loads the fair exhibitor with a profusion of com pliments, extravagant in proportion to their insncerity. It is not among the higher classes only that music is thus abused and converted into an actual social nuisance. Fa shion has a downward tendency : " the toe of the peasant galls the kibe of the courtier ;" and there is hardly any class of society, however humble, which does not attempt to emulate the modes and amusements which prevail in the gilded saloons of the great.—Daily News. SIR. JAMES GRAHAM'S BITTERNESS TOWARDS HIS OPPONENTS. — Sir James Graham has made enemies of almost every parry in the legislature. It has not been because he has opposed them from time to ti tie, for other men who are much more pepulur have for many years done so more effectually. But it has been on account of the extreme virulence of his opposition. His fighting has always been a routrance. He has been too prone to dis dain the courtesies of political warfare ; fictions though they be, yet agreeable ones and humanising. He has always appeared to import his pssions into party con !lets, as thou.h he were not merely fie„hting the battle of opinions, but also maintaining his own personal quarrel. And yet he has never succeeded in impressing one with the idea of his being in earnest. That would have ren dered pardonable. language otherwise too severe. His harangues while in opposition, and indeed all his party speeches, rather seem the elaborate efforts of one having little real sympathy with the themes he is discussing or the views he is urging, but who has worked himself up to a state of fictitious enthusiasm or moral indignation, in order the more effectually to gratify political vindic tiveness, or advance personal ambition, by obtaining the applause of audiences willing to be misled under cover of those high-sounding pretences. But, whether simulated or teal. some of the speeches here more particularly re ferred to—and to which, it must be added, no one could listen without being struck with admiration at their bold ness, skill, and sustained energy—were scarcely recon cilable with that liberal and charitable interpretation of the motives of opponents, which is one of the first duties of public men to caeli other. Nor has Sir James Graham, while conducting his combats in this spirit, been at all choice in the weapons he used. Any missive that came to hand was hurled indiscriminately at the foe.

After stating his objections to the mea sure at some length, he said that he felt that the country must be governed. He found that when opinions hostile to protection had been pronounced by the great leaders on both sides of the house, and that it was now opposed by all the gentlemen who had ever sat in the government except two, it was no longer a matter for discussion; but the only question was the way of doing it. He looked upon it, as the French said, "un fail accompli"—it was sealed. It might be railed ngainst, but the country mast be governed; and when the only persons who could`go• vern the country were of one opinion, the sooner it was settled the better it would be for all parties. Lo►d J. RUSSELL considered it a very impotent argu ment in favour of protection, to allege that it was sanc tioned by the decisions of parliament in former time. The same might be said of various absurdities. The frien-ls of protection had affirmed that it was extended to all pur suits of native industry. Was this the case? Our woollen and other manufactures competed with foreign fabrics abroad; they could therefore hardly benefit by protection at home. The protective system was for the benefit of one class alone. If it were admitted that the system was erro nsous, the great question was, how were we to abandon it ? The results of past reductions in duties had proved bene ficial both to the revenue and to the producer. As Sir R. Peel's measure proceeded upon the principle of non-inter ference with the pursuits of industry,he was prepared to give it his cordial support. He then examined that part of the ministerial scheme which ordains the gradual reduction of the Corn duties. The i .clinations of the farmers were in favour of immediate repeal, provided that repeal were inevitable. He believed ehere would ba less inconvenience to the English farmer ia the change occurring at present than at a future period. This part of the plan he should prefer altered, but at all events he would support the measure. He recognised the principle of affordiug compensation to the agricultural body for special tax ation Party motives had restrained many from sup porting free trade measures when introduced by himselfi though they now supporled theta when pro posed by Sir Robert Peel. Had these influences not pre vailed, much misery throughout the country would have been prevented, and Sit Robert Peel's consistency preserved. He and his party intend to pursue a different course, and by the aid they would render, the success of the measure would be ensured, Sir R. H. 'recurs congratulated Lord John Russell upon the triumph he must have derived from the disunion amongst the Conservative ranks. The great object to be attained by a legislature in the matter of food, were a suf ficiency of supply and equability in price. There had been a remarkable equability in the prices of Corn in England compared with other countries. He then argued that the land was subject to special taxation, and particularly in respect to the item of tithe. Sir R. Peel's conversion had, he believed, been perfectly honest, nevertheless the suddenness of it gave cause to suspect the permaneuce of even his present convictions. The hon. baronet concluded by expressing bis intention to support the amendment. After Sir R. Inglis closed his address, Capt. FITZMAU. RICE and Mr. SYDNEY HERBERT addressed the house, the former opposinc, and the latter in an able speech sup. porting the propositions of Sir R. Peel, after which, on the motion of Mr. Stafford O'Bien, the debate was ad journed. ing which is the Englishman's boast, and the guiding principle in all the debates in " Contemporary Orators," in Fraser's Magazine which is covertl ORIGIN AND PROGRESS OF FILE WAR BETWEEN BUENOS AYRES AND MONTE VlDEo.—General Rivera was the first President of the Banda Oriental. He was elected in 1831, after the Orientates had got rid of the Buenos Ayrean and Brazilian armies. His terms of office expired in 1835, and by his influence one of his offi cers, D. M, Oribe, was elect , d his successor. Rivera had been no friend to Rosa 4, President of Buenos Ayres. He had refused in 183.1 to deliver up t•uch of the Unita rians as had sought refuge in Monte Video. Oribe, on the contrary, not only proscribed those men at the re- . quest of Rosas, but formed a plan for destroying the in dependence of his country by annexing to it the Argen tine Confederation. This was in 1836. The national party took the alarm, and Rivera. whom Oribe had at tempted to deprive of the employment as CommAnder in-Chief, putting himself at the head at those disaffected to the government, obtained possession of the whole country, except the lower towns of Monte Video and Paysandie, to both of which he laid seige about the Orihe made a formal renunciation of his presidency, which being accepted by the congress, he retired into private life in Buenos Ayres. Rivera was elected Pre sident in 1839; Oribe in the meantime having protested formally against the validity of his act of abdication Unhappily, the new President was persuaded by the French, then blockading Buenos, to declare war against Ros4s, under pretence that he had abetted the intrigues CHILDREN.—To see children as they ought to be, you I must see them in numerous covies. The real child is only to be found in a house where you can't set down a fuot heedlessly without trampling on one. There they are so much in the way, that people are not allowed to forget them, and they are so many, that none of them can be spoiled by petting. Besides, children make by far the best keepers and companions for each other. A baby in its bascinet, trying to rest on its feet, while propping its little hands on the rim, or reaching over. to catch some thing. is enough to outwear the patience of the most pat- , tern nurse-maid ; but --et a little creature of two or three years-old, the quiet and gentle one of the family. to watch the baby, and, proud of the commission, it never tires. The baby, too, is nnore'amenable to its tiny coercion, when seeking to break bounds. Such a group is the only beau. tiful emblem of the power that love imparts to human weakness. When the blind is imagined directing the lame, while the lame carries the blind, the picture is pain ful and humiliating ; but there is no such alloy in the pic ture of an elf, only half emerged from babyhood, keeping baby from hurting itself while the baby supplies the place of a plaything. Or perhaps it is a gallant unbreeched boy who takes upon him the guardianship of a sister some twelve moons his senior. How soon the " lord of the creation" shows himself in the male. There is a mis chievous, laughing self-confidence in an urchin of two years, that girls never attain. If any other class ofintel ligent existence have it in their power to contemplate human beings, the most inexperienced among them must at once have a presentiment that in the baby boy, they belfold a creature whose will is to be law to himself and others. A nursery-maid, when children who are verging towards the transition epoch at which the child passes into the boy or girl prove unusually stubborn, sometimes threatens to leave them. Let the experiment be tried, and it is ten to one that the culprit, if a girl. looks on while t. e bonnet and shawl are being pinned, half-incredulous, half- anxious, that her younger sister is dissolved in tears, and that while baby keeps crowing utterly unconsc ious of what is passing, little master, with a pout on his lip and a frown on his brow, doggedly sets his back against the door to prevent egress, and says nothing. In girl-children, the intellect develops itself more rapidly than in boy-children ; but the character is much earlier pronounced in the male. This may be the reason why we always find in the nursery pairings off, a brother and sister keeping themselves some what apart from the rest. Where there are two, one must go before; either the elder girl has not the talent of lead ing, or the younger feels instinctively that she has no au thority over her by divine right. The boy takes the lead unconsciously, and yet, as in after life, the girl has per haps more influence over him than he over her.—Tait. of Oribe ; but in 1840, when that great power adjusted its quarrel, " nothing was done about the auxi!iary war sources and the effects of the folly which the French had all but forced him to commit." Oribe thenceforward entered the service of General Roses, as , isting him in all his wars, and styling himself the legal president of the Uraguay republic, although he wears the Buenos Arean badge of servitude, a portrait of General ltosas, stitched on his coat, on a red merino ground, surrounded by a motto, " Death to the savage Unitariano4." This is also DEFECTIVE VENTILATION A CAUSE OF INTEMPE RANCE.—Dr. D. B. Reid, who has turned his attention to this topic, informs us that " defective ventilation re ducing the power of oxygenaing the blood and sustaining the temperature, produces a morbid condition, which di minishes the relish for, and power of digesting plain food: unnatural stimuli, such as ardent spirits, are required to excite the languid circulation." In consonance with this opinion, we find many lamentable facts. A visit to some of the larger workshops in London and some of the ma nufacturing towns, would instantly lessen our wonder at the dissipated habits of the men, and explain the reason why certain classes of operatives are more intemperate than others. The pent up and polluted air, exhausted of all moisture, or floating with particles of dust, has a de pressing effect on the nervous energies of the men, and proves an almost irresistible provocative to the use of ar dent spirits and other strong drinks. At the risk of being somewhat personal, and that we may not be suspected of dealing in vague generalities, we condescend on two classes of tradesmen, who, on inquiry, were fuund to be more dissipated than others from this very cause—we mean flax dressers and tailors. Of the former we can testify from our own observation, that, while there are many honour able exceptions, as a class t , ey are the most addicted to intemperance of any in those districts where flax-spinning is prevalent. Yet they have no worse example and no greater temptations before them than other operatives ; but then they live in an atmosphere both dry and dusty— literally loaded with particles of flax. Let this evil be re medied or removed, and we are persuaded the craving for stimulants would be greatly diminished. With respect to tailors as a class, we submit the following extracts from the Report on the Sanatory Condition of the Labouring Population :—Thomas Brownlow worked eight years at Messrs. Allen's, Old Bond-street, London. There were from eighty to a hundred men in a room sixteen yards long' and eight yards wide, close together, nearly knee to knee. The heat was twenty degrees higher than outside. The heat and smell were intolerable. I have known young men faint away. It had a very depressing effect on the energies. Many could not stay out the hours. The na tural effect of the depression was that we had recourse to drink as a stimulant. Gin was the first thing used in the morning at seven o'clock, an hour atter beginning work Gin and beer at eleven o'clock! Beer and gin at three o'clock ; and gin and beer at five o'clock !—five times in one day ! In answer to the query—" After work was there any drinking ?" the same person says, " Yes ; nearly all the young men went to the public-house, and some of the others.' Here, then, was literally a hot-house for rearing drunkards! Other facts and statistics in abun dance are at hand to prove that the same tradesmen in rural districts working by themselves, or only two or three together, in cooler places, are n ,, t specially addicted to drinking.—Hogo's Weekly Instructor. _ SUMNfARY OF THE CHARACTER OP LORD BACON.— Patted on the head by Queen Elizabeth—mocking the worshippers of Aristotle at Cambridge—catching the first glimpses of his great discoveries, and yet uncertain whe ther the light was from heaven—associating with the learned and gay at the Court of France—devoting himself to Bracton and the Year Books in Gray's-inn—throwing aside the musty folios of the law to write a moral essay, to wake an experiment in natural philosophy, or to detect the fallacies which had hitherto obstructed the progress of useful truth—contented for a time with taking " all knowledge for his province"—roused from these specula tions by the stings of vulgar ambition—playing all the arts of flattery to gain official advancement by Royal and Courtly favour—entering the House of Commons, and displaying powers of oratory of which he had beer' un conscious—being seduced by the love of popular applause, for a brief space becoming a patriot—making amends by defending all the worst excesses of prerogative—publish ing to the world lucubrations on morals which show the nicest perception of what is honourable and beautiful, as well as prudent, in the conduct of life—yet, the son of a Lord Keeper, the nephew of the Prime Minister, a Queen's counsel, with the first marctice at the bar, arrest ed for debt, and languishing in a sponging-house—tired with vain solicitations to his own kindred for promotion, joining the party of their opponent, and, after experien cing the most generous kindness from the young and chivalrous head of it, assisting to bring Wm to the scaf fold, and to blacken his memory—seeking, by a merce nary marriage, to repair his broken fortunes—on the ac cession of a new Sovereign offering up the most servile adulation to a pedant whom he atterly despised—infinitely gratified by being permitted to kneel, with 230 others, to receive the honour of knighthood—truckling to a worth less favourite with the most slavish subserviency, that he might be appointed a law officer of the Crown—then giving the most admirable advice for the compilation and e nenciation of the laws of England, and helping to inflict torture on a poor parson, whom he wished to bang as a traitor for writing an unpublished and unprearihed sermon —attracting the notice of all Europe by his philosophical works, which established a new era in the mode of inves tigating the p'lenomena both of matter and mind—basely intriguing in the meanwhile for further promotion, and writing secret letters to his Sovereign to disparage his rivals—riding proudly between the Lord High Treasurer and Lord Privy Seal, preceded by his mace-bearer and purse-bearer, and f..llowed by a long line of nobles and judges, to he instal'ed in the office of Lord High Chan cellor—by-and-by,. settling with his servants the account of the bribes they had received for him—a little embar rassed by being obliged out of decency, the case bring so clear, to decide against the party whose money he had picketed, but stifling the misgivings of conscience by the splendour aria flattery which he now commanded—struck to the earth by the discovery of his corruption—taking to his bed and refusing sustenance—confessing the truth of the charges hrought against him. and abjectly imploring mercy—nobly rallying from his disgrace, and engaging in new literary undertakings, which have added to the splen dour of his name—still exhibiting a touch of kis ancient vanity, and, in the midst of pecuniary embarrassments, refusing to he " stripped of his feathers."—Campbell's Lives of Chancellors.
