sonings which they have been unable to refute. All that the " tory journalists" contend for is, the right of the landowner to let his land to what candidate he will, and to give it t' a Protestant rather than to a Romanist if he be so disposed. And who to this right can offer a rational objection ? Why, with two competi tors before him, is he to be restrained from selecting a man with whom he has the prospect of peaceful and harmonious co-operation, and to be compelled to take one with whom he can anticipate nothing but trouble and contention ? Is he to allow his land to be made the instrument of opposition and vexation to himself ? and if not, why are " tory journalists" to be maligned because they demand for him the liberty claimed by the ministerial scribblers for themselves, and insist on his right to dispose of his land without obstruction from, or responsibility to, these self-elected censors ? The truth is, the landlords of Ireland have given too little reason for the outcry raised against them. They have been too inattentive to the interests of the hum bler professors of their own faith. They have treated them too frequently with coldness, indifference, and neglect, and the holdings which they ought to have occupied, have been given to less deserving and less grateful hands. • Had a wiser policy been pursued— had a Protestant peasantry been encouraged, and bad the owners of property provided for the religious in struction of the dwellers on their estates, what a diffe rent aspect would Ireland now present !—how many an apprehension would she have been spared, and how many a convulsion would she have escaped, and how amply would they have been repaid in her improved condition and her increased security ! But unfortu nately the duty, for a duty it was, was forgotten—the opportunity was lnst, and a Protestant was often re moved to make way for a Romanist. In time these things begun to operate. The tree brought forth its fruits, and bitter fruits they were, and in sorrow and suffering were they eaten by those who planted it. Well does the Dublin Statesman remark : " Let those who rant about the people's rights, and the cruelty of landlords, remember what reason the gentry of Ireland have to trust a Roman Catholic tenantry—let them remember, among a thousand others, the murder of Lord Norbury, and its attendant cireurnstances—let them recollect that the Roman Catholic tenantry of that lamented noble man screened his murderer from the eye of justice ; and let them honestly answer the question, whether they believe that any Protestant tenantry in the world would have done the like ? Again we would refer them to Tipperary, and to other southern counties, all in a state of chronic rebellion against the rights of property, full from end to end of agra rian outrage, all arising out of a systematic resistance to the claihis of the landlord. These are facts, and the unavoid able consequences of establishing a tenantry who have scarcely any affections in common with their landlord, and scarcely any principles which are not hostile to his rights— a tenantry who, rejecting the legitimate influence of the land lord, have substituted for it the absolute control of a med dling and turbulent hierarchy, rendering an implicit obe dience to the passive resistance' doctrines of the priest, or to the still less equivocal mandates of the Ribbon Society." Our contemporary might have enlarged his list. He might have asked whether a Protestant tenantry, in structed as a Protestant tenantry ought to be, could have been induced for years to wage a war of rebellion against the law and of extermination against the church ? Could they have been induced to imbrue their hands in the blood of amiable and honourable men ? Could they have been induced to shoot them down at their doors and in their halls, while their un offending families were cast houseless and helpless on the world ? Could they have been induced to commit six or eight murders on one estate (Lord Lorton's, for instance), without a single effort being made to bring the murderers to justice ? No, we should have none of these things had we been wise in time; and because, here and there, a landlord instructed by sorrowful ex perience is endeavouring to repair the errors of the past, he is held up to execration in the angry animad versions of the ministerial press ! We can only say that we wish that press more frequent opportunities for the display of its displeasure. The Chronicle of Saturday asks : " What is there, we should like to know, in the accident of bring born a landlord, that should qualify a man for the political and spiritual guidance of his fellow-creatures? What is there, in that mere chance, to exalt his fiat above the voice of a nation ?" Nothing, in the " accident" of the birth, but much n the circumstances of th• landlord, to render him a more competent judge of " political" measures, and to give him a deeper interest in their peaceful and orderly operation, than the man who farms a few acres of his route. As to " exalting his fiat above the voice of a nation," this is mere nonsense, and that the Chronicle ought to know. The question is simply, whether, en entertaining certain opinions, and believing them to be best and safest for the country, we should take care that those whom we invest with a political privilege are persons who support or persons who oppose them —persons likely to unite with us in obtaining for them a place in the government of the nation and the judg ment of the people, or persons likely to yield them selves as unreasoning instruments to men who profess opinions and are acted on by impulses in everything the opposite of ours. This, divested of misrepresen lotion and mysticism, is, we say, the question ; and what rational man can hesitate as to the manner in which it should be answered ? That the ministerial papers feel the difficulties of their position, is obvious from the pains which they take to misrepresent that of their opponents, and to charge on it consequences for which they are in no way answerable. Few landlords will be so unwise as to claim the " political and spirit ual guidance of their fellow creatures ;" but it is in cumbent on every landlord to endeavour that, into whatever hands it falls, that guidance shall be such as his " fellow creatures " can safely follow. " SETTLEMENT" OF THE EASTERN QUESTION. (From the Morning Herald.) We are assured by a correspondent, to whose com munications we have reason to attach entire credit, that the position of affairs in the east has been the cause of " great uneasiness" to the representatives of the four powers, now assembled in London. Lord Ponsonby has been instructed, it is said, to "remonstrate" with the Sultan on the impolicy of resisting the wishes of his allies, in reference to the disposal of the pachalic of Egypt. The " convention," we are further given to under stand, "does not quite approve of the guarantee given by Commodore Napier, in the name of the four pow ers, on the subject of the hereditary possession of Egypt. The English government thinks that such a guarantee militates, in the first place, against the su premacy of the Sultan, and, in the second place, against the integrity of the Turkish empire. Sir Ro bert Stopford has been, therefore, directed to commu nicate these things to Mehemet Ali, and to declare, at the same time, that the four powers are still unani mously disposed to recommend to the Sultan the ratifi cation of the terms enunciated by Commodore Na pier." This looks exceedingly like a "settlement" of the Egyptian question ! The "obstinacy" of Mehemet Ali was the pretext for forming the quintuple, now the quadruple, alliance. The "obstinacy" of the Sultan bids fair to bring that alliance to an untimely end. The conduct of the "convention," and more especially of the English government, would appear, if our cor respondent he rightly informeQ, to be very much the reverse of dignified. The "convention' does not "quite approve of" the guarantee given by Commodore Napier! The question, however, to be first determined; is, we apprehend, not what the convention finds it con venient now to approve it—but whethe r Commodore Napier was empowered to offer such a guarantee. If he was not authorised to guarantee the hereditary pos session of Egypt to Mehemet Ali, then Commodore Napier overstepped fearfully the limits of his duty, and rendered himself liable to the severest censure —nay, punishment. If, on the othyr hand, Commodore Napier was empowered to treat with the Pacha on th terms which he employed, how disgraceful must n o t the conduct of the "convention" be pronounced to be! The first, therefore, of the many questions to be afore they give him a horse, such as it is, and he puts an English bridle into his mouth, and an English saddle on his back, and whips the nasty, spavin'd, brokenwinded brute with an English whip ; and when he stumbles and throws him off, he swears a bushel of horrid English oaths at him. He trims the great shaggy, hairy beast with English scissors, combs his nasty thick mane with an English comb, and cur ries his dirty hide with an English currycomb ; and then ties 1 with an English halter: Then comes him up in his sta sportire. " But where does his gun come from? and his powder? and his shot? and his flask? and his belt? Why. clean away omes from there, for ther from England. Even his flu ain't a flint stone in all Nova Scotia " It's more natural this should be the case in gunnin' than in fishin' ; but even here the chap can't help himself. Tho' the country is covered with wood, he imports his rod, his net, his line, his leads, and even his flies. As soon as his I comas (and sometimes afore, for I gets.a British glass to admire his young mug in : he lathers his chin with an English brush and English soap, a-lookin' as big as all out doors, and mows away at it with an English razor, sharpened on a British hone, and stropped on a Bri tish strop; then he puts on an English collar, and ties it up with an English stock, and I hope I may be skinned if he don't call himself an English man. Instead e ,4 ' ' continP- a co^ _.,,ental trip, as boys ao, he takes astin' trip in I father's shallop, to that ere great city of men, Halifax. " But look to his vessel; ropes, sails, blocks, anchor, bolts, copper, iron, compass, and all the other fixings— where do they come from ? Why, from where every part of the vessel, except the sappy, dry-rotted wood she is built with, comes from—from England. Look at the old, battered watch he is rigged out with, the case half lead, half pewter, that he swapped his wood for on the wharf with a woman with a painted face and dirty stockings, who created him by him ' captain,' and ' squire,' and ' your honour; where did that watch and that old troll come from ? Why from England, like the rest. " He never waits till he has a place to put his wife in, or anything to suppOrt her with ; he trusts luck for that, catches the bird first, and then makes the cage. Well, see how he goes about that; he cuts down the trees to build it with an me of English iron, saws it with an English saw, planes it with an English plane, puts it together with English nails, driven by an English hammer, and then paints it with Eng lish paint and an English brush.' The sashes has English glass, kept in by English puity ; the doors are hung upon English hinges, and secured by English locks (against Bri tish thieves though, for they forgot to reform them afore they shipped them out) ; the floor is covered with imported car pets, the windows with imported curtains, and the fire made in imported stoves, and fixed with imported tongs and sho vels. When he gives a housewarmin' to his friends, for he is rather amorous of a frolick, the plates, knives and forks, decanters and glasses, and every thing else in English ; and when the boys and gals go for to dance, hear the music, that's all ! Pretty music it is too, afore tunes came in fashion, I guess; but hear it—English fifes, English flutes, English drums, English pianoes, and English fiddles (not to mention Scotch ones, of which mnin is the word.) " He don't like to be separated from English manufactures even in death ; for he is so used and attached to the old country, that he calls his own native land Nova Scotia, and England he calls—what do you think, now !—why he calls it home ;' he does, upon my soul ! No, sir, the grave don't part 'em nor death shut his paw nother ; for as soon os he is stiff he's dressed in an English shrowd, and screwed down with English screws into his coffin; that is, covered with English cloth, and has a plate on it of English ware, for the worms Ito read his name and age on, if they have learned to spell. The minister claps on an English gownd, reads the English service out of an English book, and the grave is filled up again with airth shovellbd in with an English shovel, while every man, woman, and child that bears his name, pulls out an English handkerchief to wipe their eyes and blow their noses with; and buy as much English cloth, crape, and what not, as would freight a vessel almost; for, havin' lamed the multiplication table early in life, the number of his descend ants would make you stare, I know. His children run the same rig round the sane course, till they end by being packed up in a snug pill-box in the same grave-yard. And yet John Bull says colonies are not good. " Now, how is colonist able to pay for all this almighty swad of manufactured plunder, seein that he has no gold nor silver ? Why, mainly by his timber ; and yet them on fakilised, onderbaked goneys, the British, actilly want to tax it and reform out the trade, so as to give a preference to Baltic timber. We don't want colony timber, says they, Don't you though ?' says Bluenose ; then I hope we may be teetotally extinctified if we want your manufactures.' What's the name of your great gun to Canada ?" Do you mean Sir John Colborne?' said Snob. No, replied Mr. Slick ; I don't mean the " man-o':Viar," I mean the " mar chant man."' Oh! I have it—Pullet Thomson. Well, Pullet will larn somethin' to Canada about timber he never knew afore, or it ain't no matter. When you see him, stump him ;" Friend Pullet,' says you, ` when a log is hewed and squared, can you tell the south side of it ?' And if he don't answer it right off the reel (and I'll go my death on it he can't) tell him to send out the board of trade, aye, and the board of works too, to Sam Slick, the clockmaker, to go to school for a spell, for be is jist the boy can teach 'em some thing that ain't sot down in the reform bill, knowin' coons as they be. Yes, Sir, if ever you was to Antwarp, you'd see what it is to lose colonies. When that place belonged to Holland, and had colonial trade, five thousand merchants used to meet on 'change : now, the exchange is left, but the merchant is gone. * * * Bonaparte said he wanted ships, colonies, and commerce. * * * Bonaparte did'nt know what he was atalkin about, for colonies mean all three."

By one or two profligate writers, who felt that they deserved, and probably feared that they would receive, a gibbeting at the author's hands, .the work and its author were cried down, and their influence attempted to be destroyed ; but by the periodical press in general, the work was well received and highly applauded. As a satire, it is full of vigour, keen and galling. sidering the ag ucti - on—astonishing indeed, con author, still in his minority--ren us as a poet, and procured for hint in the lurahle reception for his admirable work, " The Omnipresence of the Deity,"—a work which at once raised him t~ that high distinction which, by his subsequent writings, he has so well sustained. A contemporary then justly remarked, that " this was a bold and daring attempt : of his mental and poetical vigour for this arduous under taking no one who had read his Satire could justly entertain a doubt ; but with many it was somewhat questionable, if he could ascend that elevated region with a becoming grace, and sustain his flight while soaring in the empire of infinity, and contemplating the attributes of God." " The Satires" and the " Night Thoughts" of Dr. Young, had, however, already proved that it was more than possible for the same mind to be engaged on topics so widely dissimilar, and his success had demonstrated that there was nothing incompatible in this diversified direction of the same poetical talents and mental energies. Immediately on its appearance, " The Omnipresence of the Deity" was bought up with the utmost avidity, so that the unexampled number of eight editions was sold off in the space of eight months, while the distin guished author was only then about twenty years of age.— Nearly all the periodical publications of the day were loud and unsparing in their praise of this truly magnificent and splendid poem, but not a whit more so than its intrinsic merits deserve. And if its celebrated author had never written another line, be might safely have rested his fame g year a 4 and immortality upon this single work the mutineers had settled themselves there. It was stolen from the American captain on the ship's passage from Juan Fernandez to Valparaiso, and next made its appearance at Conception, where it was purchased for thee doubloons by an old Spaniard of the name of Castillo, who kept it in his pos session till his death, which happened lately at Santiago, when his family sent it to Captain Herbert, to be conveyed to the British Museum. It appears, on being taken to be repaired by Mr. Monet, of Valparaiso, that it was in a com plete state of preservation, without the least mark of wear in any part of it. The escapenient palates are rubies fixed to the verge of the balance by screw collets. Mr. Monet speaks in high terms of the beauty of the workmanship. The elfro nometer is five inches in diameter, with three dials on its face, one for hours, one for minutes, and one for seconds, with an outer silver case, made as the outer cases of pocket watches were sixty or seventy years ago, so that its appear ance is of a gigantic watch. In winding it up it was usual to pass the left arm through the opening for the face in the upper valve of the outer case, in the manner of placing the outer case of a pocket watch on the left thumb when winding. A Chilian gentleman corning in one day, and seeing the case thus suspended, exclaimed, " Que cosa para freer Huevos." It is now on board the Calliope, and will, in all probability, return to the place of its construction after an absence of so many years, and that, too, without having circumnavigated the earth by only the very small quantity of longitude be tween the most western meridian, reached by the Bounty in endeavouring to double Cape Horn, and that of Santiago, the most western meridian the chronometer reached in Chili. Devonport Telegraph. COMPARATIVE SAFETY OF STEAM NAVIGATION.— The number of miles navigated by steam vessels concealed with the port of New York, in five years ending 31st Decem ber, 1824, was about 2,827,750, with an aggregate of 4,796,000 passengers ; of whom 38, or one in 126,211 lost their lives. Twelve accidents occurred. During the five years ending at the close of 1833, the estimated number of miles run was 4,216,200, with an aggregate of 9,419,700 passenger s ; num ber of accidents, 5 ; lives lost, 62 ; or one in 151,931. Dur ing the five years ending 31st December, 1838, the estimated number of miles run was 5,467,450 ; aggregate number of passengers, 15,886,300; number of accidents, 2; lives lost, 8 ; or one in 1,985,787. The average number of miles to each explosion, in the first of the above periods, was 235,646 ; in the second, 843,240; in the third, 2,733,725. The estimated average pressure of steam used during the first period was 7 inches ; second period, 14 inches ; third period, 18 inches. It appears from the average results of this table, that, dur ing even the first period of five years after the navigation was thrown open to public competition, the ratio of steam acci dents was only equal to one for more than 20,000 trips or passages ; and that the average loss of life was only equal to one for more•than 126,000 passengers exposed. Thus, at the fair outset of this noble enterprise, a degree of safety was at tained for the passengers, such as may well challenge com parison with any artificial means of transit or locomotion that have ever been resorted to by the human race. - -('United • States) Commercial Magazine. TRADE WITH JAPAN.--We presume that Japan has not been excluded from the contemplation of the government, while the imposing spectacle of a British war fleet floats for the first time on Eastern Asiatic seas. To establish a com mercial intercourse by peaceful means with that country—t o furnish its population in which they live, render European manufactures almost necessary to comfort—who are ad vanced in civilization, and who, from long use, have accus tomed themselves to luxuries—is a grand national object. Were that country thrown open to our enterprise, it would he like the creation of a new nation of customers ; and the achievement of this object, so devoutly to be wished for, might, by an effort at this moment, be easily effected. It is observed by Dr. Ainslie :—" With regard to the real diffi culties to be surmounted in the establishment of a commer cial intercourse with Japan, I consider them, so far as they are founded in the character and political institutions of the Japanese, to be of infinitely less importance than the Dutch, from whose interested reports on that subject the , idea generally entertained of them has been formed, would represent them. I may add, that the Japanese appear en tirely free from any prejudices that would stand in the way of a free and unrestricted intercourse with Europeans; even their prejudices on the score of religion, on which such ex aggerated accounts are reported, are moderate and inoffen sive. The consumption of woollens and hardware might be rendered almost unlimited ; they are fond of the finest spe cimens of glass ware, and it only requires to bring them ac quainted with many other products of British industry, to obtain for them a ready. introduction." In reference to the exclusion of foreigners, the reasoning did the policy of the Japanese and Chinese governments appear to be founded on the same basis—contempt, yet dread, of Europeans : their contempt is founded in ignorance; but their dread is founded upon a full conviction of their own Weakness. We hope the government will not neglect the present propitious moment, while so many officers of rank are in these seas, tit obtain, by conciliating the Japanese, permission to resume our commercial connection with that country : if the letter to James the First is preserved in the State Paper Office, it might be turned to some advantage in the negociation. The latest attempt to this end was made under the auspices of the East India Company, in 1813 ; and the profit on the adven ture was 42,126 Spanish dollars. The goods England might supply to Japan would be—woollens, b roa d cloth of primi tive, not mixed colours, hardware, glass ware, carpeting, printed cottons, ironmongell , Porcelain, l ea th er, morocco o f the brightest colours, clock - work, fire-arms, lace, mock jewellery, stationery, medicines, bottle corks, a few oil paints, window glass, phials, pig lead, she e t l ea d. long ells, looking glasses, figured muslins, catnlets, spy-glasses, rabbit skins, and felt cloth.—lndian News.

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON ON EDUCATION.—The following anecdote of the Duke of Wellington was last week related by the Bishop of Exeter , who h a d i t f rom a h i gh quarter, at the usual meeting of the Exeter Diocesan Board of Education :—" Abnut 30 years since, on the noble Duke's return from India, he found the whole country running mad on the question of education, the plan of Lancaster having just been promulgated here. Dining one day, soon after his arrival in England, at the table of a noble friend, education and the plan of Lancaster became the topic of conversation. The duke listened awhile, and having heard the arguments pro and con., at length addressed the company in a most em phatic manner, saying, Take care what you are about, f or unless the education you give is based upon religion , You are only making so-many more clever devils.' "—Falmouth Packet. The year after the appearance of this work, he published " Death and other Poems," in blank verse. Another year brought with it another production, which added fresh laurels to those already won. ThiS was called " Satan," and abounds with profound reasoning and splendid imagery— " thoughts that kreathe, and words that burn." There seems, however, blended in this poem a tone of melancholy, . .amed fame, he as though, notwithstanding had found that it was not happiness : " From earthly soil, no flowers of inward bliss, Perennial bloom ; they flourish in the mind Alone ; itself its own true lappmess. — Satan,—Book The profits arising from the very extensive sale of his orks, had now rescued Mr. Montgomery from the many trials and almost overwhelming storms through which Almighty God had been pleased to calrhim to pass, and rendered hin; now able to commence his collegiate studies at Oxford, pre paratory to his great and noble design of dedicating his bril liant talents to the holy service and glory of Him from whom he had so freely received them. Poetry, however, still ex erted its bewitching influence oyer his mind, and during his residence at that ancient and renowned seat of learning, he successively produced his work, entitled " Oxford,' and that admirable production' entitled " Messiah," in the pre face to which he says, after deEcribing the true aim of poetry, "To aspire after this can form no man's disgrace. He may not secure fame ; but assuredly he partakes of a higher re ward than reputation can bestow, while he endeavours to pro mote that elevation of mind which constitutes the true enjoy ment of a being whose ' destiny survives the world."— These noble sentiments were quite in harmony with those nobler and purer aims which those friends who had the pri vilege of an intimate acquaintance with him at Oxford, saw with pleasure, had assumed the predominance over his mind. For notwithstanding that, from the great power and resources # of his genius, he was contsantl • acquiring fresh laurels, he seemed rightly to estimate ths i n g phantom fame, which he had sought with so muc ess in his youthful days, but which, when obtained, found to be but empty air, and miserably insufficient to satisfy the nobler desires of an immortal spirit—that heavenly spark, which, emanating from God himself, can never enjoy real happiness, save in the favour and presence of Him, whom to know is eternal life, and from whom alone proceedeth happiness that is true, solid, and lasting. VARIETIES " I wish to know, sir, if you called me an ass ? " " Yes, sir ; but I qualified it." " Aha ! sir, you qualified it, did you ? The better for you, sir ; and pray how did you qualify it ? " " I said you were an ass, sir—all but the ears." LUCIFERS.—" I wonder how they make lucifer matches," said a young married lady to her husband, about six weeks after their nuptials, and with whom she could never agree. " The process is very simple," he replied ; " I once made one." " Indeed ! and pray how did you manage it." "By going to church with you," was the brief and satisfactory explanation. STEW LAND MEASURE TADLE.---" Oh dear !" blubbered an urchin, who had just been suffering from an application of the birch, " Oh, my ! they tell me about forty rods make a furlong, but I can tell a bigger story than that. Let 'em get such a plaguy licken as I've had, and they'll find that one rod makes an acher." MODERATE INTEREST.—The Bank of England, establish ed about two years and a half before, with a capital of £140,000, lent, in July of 1696, £200,000, to pay the Fle mish troops, demanding £lB,OOO for the loan, when no one else would take the Exchequer tallies under 30 per cent. — James's Court and Times of William 111. PUPPYISM.—A dandy went into a haberdasher's shop to purchase a watch ribbor , which cost 4d. He laid Is. on the counter, and the shopman gave him 6d. only, forgetting the copper was due to him ; so after a short time the lounger, looking at the man, said, " Fellow, fatigue me with the 2d. —Jamaica paper FALLING STARS.—M. Capocci, director of the Ob servatory at Naples, has related twelve cases of the of aerolites since 1809, about the 29th November of each year. The dates are as follow :-1809, 29th November; 1810.28 th ; 1827, 29th ; 1821, 30th ; 1822, 22th ; 1823, 27th ; 1824, 20th ; 1831, 26th ; 1839, 29th. On the 26th of July last, he ob served a great fall of stars. A coxcomb, boasting, on Saturday evening, in the Chapter Coffee-house, of his travels, being asked his opinion of Scotland. said, " It was a flat country, and not picturesque, compared with his dear Switzerland." A Scotch gentleman, who was present, said, " It was true, if mountains were flat, it was a flat country ; but he would find it difficult to find a flat among the natives, and for that the young traveller must look nearer home." Cobbett said, thirty years ago, "The boy eats fat bacon as if he'd swallow the whole hog." l'he Yankees have taken credit for this notable saying ; and amongst a thousand others which have been worn threadbare in our long-shore regions, have immortalised it as a Slick ism ! Good things, as they are called, like good porter, improve by sea-carriage, we arc to presume, and return to us better than good. ODD IDEA OF OLD ENGLAND.—About 700 years since an . Arabian geographer employed at the Sicilian Court de scribed the different countries of the world in a most curious •+~ • s • "'xi. W 1.311,, duverts urictly LU Ealgitm, alll.l repru seas it as " a considerable island, having the shape of an • • ostrich's head, and containing flourishing cities, high moun tains, great rivers, and spacious plains ; the soil being fertile ; the people brave, active, and enterprising, but the climate subjected to perpetual winter." Hastings and Shoreham, with their shallow insecure harbours, then held the important position which has since been attained by Liverpool, Ply mouth, and other places ; though we learn with fair national pride, that England, so far back as the twelfth century, when only in the cradle of her commerce, could boast, as she now does,' of adventurous merchants and undaunted sailors. ECONOMY OF FOOD.—The Royal Agricultural Society of England has offered a prize of ten sovereigns, or a piece of plate of that value, for the best directions to enable labour ers to prepare wholesome, nutriti ous , an d p a l a t a bl e f oo d, i n . . the most economical and easy manner. As the object of the society in offering this prize is to procure such instructions for agricultural labourers as may enable them to supply them selves with the greatest quantity of nutriment which the means at their command will produce, and to prepare a warm, comfortable, and nutritious meal for themselves and their families, when they return home from their day's work, the competitors for it are requested to observe-1. That the re ceipts must be given in such a plain manner as may render them available to the labourer or his wife, who are unaccus tomed to cookery. 2. That the receipts must be such as may be used without reouirincr any apparatus which any acrricnl.• tural labourer does not usually possess. 3. That They shall not require the use of any ingredients which he may not easily procure, either from his garden, or in agricultural vil lages. (This condition is not intended to preclude the re commendation of fish as a part of any dish.) 4. The cost of the different dishes must be accurately stated. CHANGE OF DlET.—Majendie, a celebrated French phy siologist, found by ex p er i men t that it was " impossible to keep an animal in a healthy state longer than six weeks upon one article of diet, death frequently taking place before that period." The sheep farmer, who knows his business, will take esp ec i a l c are never to et his sheep lose flesh till they are folded. He will then cut their turnips, or will crush t the' - -" oilcake,- as the case may be ; he will give them plenty of salt, in roofed troughs or fixed casks with the heads taken out, and also a ton of good hay for every hundred sheen. en days or a fortnight. He will avoid all sudden changes of food, and will only feed off the bleakest part of his farm, in order to reserve t h e more selected parts for the s everest periods of the wi n t er . S we d es, i n add i t i on to their more nutritive qualities, are superio r t o o th er var i et i es o f t h e turnip for folding, where they are not cut. From the gene ral form of the Swede roots, they do not permit the rain to lodge and freeze hard upon the top of the bulbs, so as to em barrass the biting of the sheep. A SUNSET ON THE DANUBE. —On a fine evening we ascended to the height beyond the palace in order to see a sunset on the Danube, and a glorious sight it was ! Earth, wood, and water seemed to swim in one atmosphere of gold and topaz, and so magnificent a sky I never remember to have beheld •, we were absolutely blinded with splendour; and then suddenly turning our faces eastward, we seemed to have been transported into a new world. The mountains rose darkly against the deep purple horizon, save where they were touched by the beams of the moon, which was pillowed for a time upon the crest of the highest range : while her broad line of light, after touching the topmost branches of the forest trees at their base, streamed down upon the bosom of the flood, and turned its tide to silver. And all was so still upon that vine-covered hill! The wind played languidly among the heavy grape leaves, awakening a low rustling, which served but to make the silence more deeply felt; while swift rushingof the mighty river at our feet was a fitting ac companiment to the scene on which we looked. I know not how long we stood there. We took no note of tha time ; but the golden glories of the sunset had deepened into dusk, and the moon had risen high into the star-gemmed vaults of heaven, looking down in brightness upon the mountains against which she had so lately leant, ere we turned to re trace our steps towards the city.

A man, who had taken refuge in a tree, found it impossible to prevent several snakes from making themselves a shelter under his clothes." STATISTICS WORTH KNOWING.—In Great Britain the number of individuals in a state to bear arms, from the age of 16 to 60, is 2,744,847. The number of marriages is about 98,030 yearly ; and it has been reckoned, that in 63 of these iminnse there were nrdsr 3 which hsid nn iegssp The tsnlnher y 25,592 monthly, 6398 weekly, 914 daily, and 40 hourly. The deaths among the women are, in proportion to the men, as 50 to 54. The married women live longer than those who continue in celibacy. In the country, the mean term of the number of children produced by each marriage is four; in towns the proportion is seven for every two marriages. The number of married women is to the general number of individuals of the sex, as 1 to 3 ; and the number of mat tied men to that of all the individuals of the male sex, as 3to 5. The number of widows is to that of widowers as 3 to 1 ; but the number of widows who marry again is to that of widowers in the same case, as 7to 4. The individuals who inhabit elevated situa tions live longer than those who reside in less elevated places. The half of the individuals die before attaining the age of 17 years. The number of twins is to that of ordinary births, as Ito 65. According to calculations, founded upon the bills of mortality, 1 individual only in 3126 attains the age of 100 The number of births of the male sex is to that of the 96 to 95.—Edinburgh Philosophical Journal. of deaths is slam .y, which makes near female sex, as ADVENTURES OF A CHRONOMETER.—The chronometer which was in the Bounty at the time of the mutiny has at length been discovered, and given up to Captain Herbert, of her Majesty's ship Calliope. A few particulars relative thereto will, we are assured, be not without its interest to our nautical friends.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, DECEMBER 26 Owing chiefly to easterly winds, the week's arrivals of each article of'the Corn trade have been extremely light, and, without any thing like activity in the demand, prices generally have been fully sustained ; in fact, the smallness of the supply of new Oats has enabled the holders of that grain to realise a small advance, 3s id to 3s ad per 451bs. the rates paid for good and fine meeting samples; 26s lid to 27s per 2401b5. for Oatmeal. The business in Wheat has consisted principally in the retailing of a few parcels of free foreign, to the towns and neighbouring millers, at gs gcl to its for the best runs of Danzic, gs 4d to gs 6d for Baltic red, ss gd to gs per 701bs. for the- finer qualities of Mediterranean. The market has been bare of new Wheat from the eastern coast, 'but our local growers have shown a disposition to deliver rather more freely ; their samples, however, have gone off only slowly at Ss 6(1 to gs 6d per 2701b5. according to quality..
