LITERATURE. OWSEKYATUONS ON THE ARTS, WITH TABLES OF THE PRIN CIPAL PAINTERS OF THE VARIOUS ITALIAN, SPANISH, FRENCH, FLEMISH, DUTCH, AND GERMAN SCHOOLS, THEIR SCHOLARS AND IMITATORS, WITH LISTS OF THE :HAAT WILE SEATED ARTISTS OF THOSE SCHOOLS, ARRANGED BY THE SUBJECTS IN WHICH THEY EXCELLED. A NEW EDITION, WITH AN ALPHABRTICAL INDEX. BY THOMAS WINsTAN- Lay. Liverpool: Wales and Baines. We take the following extract from this interesting little work, which is full of valuable information:- 1. know of only three motives for purchasing or possessing . .pictures, viz., Capp ice, a Rope of Profit, and Taste. Of the first of these three motives, 1 can say but little. I sipcerely pity those unhappy individuals who are under such an influence. I have known several, and so dearly have they Raid for their folly, that I have 'always thought the crime bore its an punishment. To those who unfortunately labour under this species of mental delusion, it is not possible to give advice, for - caprice was never vet regulated by judgment, or governed by prudence, and it is of I:ttle consequence to these who are under its inalign iufluence, whether they possess a copy or au original, a Raphael or a ilemskirck. On the second motive, Profit, somewhat more may be said. The hope of gain exists, at ail times, in mankind, more espe cially in the present state of society, and in a country so much at:enstomed to traffic. There is not a sober calculating mer chant or trader that frequents the Kxchange, but would listen to the tale which offers a certain, or even a probable profit, on a purchase of pictures "recently landed from the continent." 'fhe traffic in these articles of taste, the value of which is at all times varying and uncertain, and is oftener governed by for tuitous circumstances than by judgment, has many attractions; and a speculation in works of art is always supposed fo offer a golden harvest of profit. Stories are frequently told of the great advantages made by lucky purchasers of pictures! In stances are quoted where units have become tens, and tens have been multiplied into thousands, by a single purchase, made per haps at a broker's'shop, in a cellar at home, or a cottage abroad, of some Raphael, Titian, Corregio, or Rubens, which for many years had been hid from public view, until the fortunate mo ment when it was rescued from its obscurity, and having pre -viously filled the pockets - of the discoverer, became the pride and ornament of some noble collection. How many gems "of purest ray" have been purchased at auctions in the countl7, which have afterwards shone in gilded fiames amongst the trea sures of the great? Many a chef d'oeuvre has been purchased bye. skilful dealer, (whose penetrating eye has seen through the mist which obscured, it,) even at a public auction in the metro polis, which masterpiece of art having been cleansed from the filth and discoloured varnish, by which it was perhaps pre served, although - obscured, and having also been "got up" (as the dealer's phrase is), has sold for many times its cost, having deservedly become of the highest value and importance to the tasteful and judicious collector. With all these and many other inducements, if is not surprising that, in a commercial country, there should be a fondness for purchasing paintings with a view to profit. But the e is a reverse, "a sad reverse" of this pic tore, and, like most others, it has its light and shade—its bright and sombre tints. Many a suns of high importance has been given fur a worthless daub, extolled by practised fraud and well-planned artifice. Many "splendid collections" have been purchased abroad by the united efforts of cupidity and igno rance, and imported into this country on speculation, which, when brought to sale; would not produce the expense of con veyance and duty on the importation. It is well known that many hundreds of pictures have been re-exported, or destroyed by the importers, rather than risk the payment of the duty, thus Causing a total loss of the original cost and e xp ense t o die un fortunate speculator. Many a boasting adventurer has found .himself grossly deceived by fancyi ng he possessed the finest Works of the great Italian and Spanish masters, which have turned out to be fraudulent copies; and it would be an endless as well as an ungracious task to point out how many have been 'the dupes of, and consequently sufferers by the iniquitous sys •thin of fraud and deception carried on by the artifice of dis honest and unworthy dealers in virtu, brat at home and abroad. The experience of many years has shown me that " such things are," and the only advice that I c a n g i ve to t h ose w h o are in duced to risk the ir: property in the purchase of pictures, with - "a view of profit," is to consult some experienced judge of art, both as to the merit and value, and to act upon his opinion, =premising that his honesty and fair dealing can be relied upon, for it has been wisely observed, that "knowledge is power," •and a person possessing a "knowledge" of the value of works of art, has a wonderful " power" over those who are ignorant of the subject. It Seldom or ever happens that those who make speculations works of art have leisure to gain mach information, or take much trouble on the sdbject; should they however be so in clined, I refer them to the following pages for the best advice I can give them. The third motive for purchasing, or rather for possessing, pictures, is the must honourable and praiseworthy, viz., Taste. It is not my intention critically to define taste; but I will take the meaning assigued to that word by Dr. Johnson—" In tellectual relish or discernment." Every individual who is prompted by a taste for the arts to purchase, possess, or even to admire, pictures, must have discernment enough to discover beauties in them, and intellect enough enjoy the pleasure and gratification they afford; such gratifications are purely intel lectual. To those individuals who collect and cherish the arts, - the gratitude of the public is due, for at this same time that they secure to themselves the pleasure or enjoyment which ever ac companies the possession of the works of art, they afford to their friends and to the public a participation in their pleasures. A man who thus devotes a part of his wealth is a benefactor, as well as au ornament to society, for he atapce gratifies the senses by offering to them a display. of ssing objects of research and curiosity ; and, as it is iskyved that the arts have the effect of polishing or refining the public manners, and of cultivating the public taste, he has a l ar g e share in effecting this refiuement and cultivation. He sets the example of libe .vality of sentiment, of patriotic feeling, and he deserves well of his country. It is to men such as I have described that 1 would, with .great deference, but at the same time with that confideuce which an intimate acquaintance with pictures for thirty years has given me, offer my best advice, in forming their jurigm-ut and assist their progress in the purchase of pictures. It is not to the dealer, whose business it is to protect himself from ho position, whose "poring sagacity" is at all times on the alert to increase his property, nor to the connoisseur, whose matured jielguaerit and well-founded experience will perhaps induce him to think lightly of this humble endeavour which he may find but of little or no value to him ; but it is to the ardent and true admirer of art that I would offer my candid advice and friendly caution, the result of my experiencE. I will endeavour to make them - acceptable to the young amateur who, from a fondness for pictures, would willingly become a collector, were he not afraid of becoming the dupe of the artful and designing, of wasting his wealth, and of being laughed at by the connoisseur, after having been plundered by the cunning and unprincipled dealer. In the course of my experience, —and few persons I believe have had more ample opportunities of observing the conse quence of picture-buying than 1 have, in a limited sphere of action, — I have ever found the most fatal mistakes are those which arise "from the want of a system which should 'have been previously formed, arranged, and settled in the mind of the purchaser. To establish this system is by no means dif ficult—the research is pleasing as well as instructive, and thus it may be effected. The young amateur should make himself acquainted with the number and names of the principal schools of painting, He must know not only how to distinguish the Italian from the Flemish, or the French from the German, but he must learn to decide upon seeing a picture, whether it be a work of the Florentine, the Roman, the Venetian, the Lombard, the Bolognese, or of the Spanish school. This may seem at first a work of some difficulty, but the difficulty vanishes when the subject is looked into, and the great pl easure as we ll as t h e benefit that is derived rom such knowledge, most amply repays the trouble or mental labour of the pursuit. To the young amateur and would-be collector, I would say, "Form :hen a system of thinking on the subject, and do not consider that time wholly unspent which is devoted to,obtaining that which enables you to judge with something like precision and cor rectness on a subject that, in this country, has become so general and important. and which affords so much intellectual 'pleasure." The establishment of this system in your mind, and the possession of the information which you gain in this interesting, research, will teach you at once to avoid coveting every picture which bears a great master's name—to know whether it be of one school or of another, if it was painted in the best or the worst time of the master. It will teach you to know that all Venetian. pictures are not Titians—all Roman pictures not Raphaels—that all Flemish ones were not painted by Rubens or Vandyke, and that every Dutch daub is not the work of an Ostade, a Teniers, a Both, or Hohbima. My observations oit this subject, and the advice I have offered, I trust may be of advantage also to those who look at pictures only for their amusement, without the most• distant hope of possessing them, for nothing can surely be more de lightful to admirers of painting than to be able to judge for themselves, and perhaps to direct the taste of others, at a public exhibition, or at a view of a private collection, or at an auction of the works of the old masters. I will not venture to mention those of the living artists, more than to say, that a true knowledge of those of their predecessors in their art will fur nish the means of juding by comparison, and w hi c h compar i son will often be found t ope in favour of model u art. rETER GOFF;TItkMAN WITH HIS MOUTH OPEN. A TALE OF A YANKEE" LANDLORD, (Front the Monthly Magazine.) It was one winter evening that I stopped to pass the night at a little village in the state of Massachusetts, where a tidy inn, kept by Colonel Solomon Shagbark, offering good entertainment fur man and horse, had tempted me to suspend my wayfaring. ''f was a cool evening, and I sat luxuriating over a blazing wood are, big enough to roast an ox, while a knot of countrymen were convoked in the bar-room, guessing, questioning, calculating-- drinking cider, and telling stories. I was particularly amused by the noise of one of these junketers, who kept up a continued Chorus of laughter thronghout all the variations of their har mony. He WdS a tall fellow, of wide mouth and India-rubber lungs, and sent forth every five minutes such a stentorian peal, that a nervous man would have given both his ears to have been an hundred miles off. " Moderation ! moderation!" cried one of the talkers; " say nothing. but laugh, and do that slily." " Ha ! ha ! ha 1 ha 1 ha !" continued the laugher. " Have a care how you stretch your jaws," cried another ; " remember poor. Peter Goff !" " Especially such a night as this," rejoined - the first speaker, " fur it your face should happen to freeze just as it is now—" " The man with his mouth open," said the laugher. " Ha ! Ila ! ha ! ha !—l've heard the story. Ha! ha ! ha ! ha !" " Come now," replied another, " a man that won't believe anything old. Uncle Josh used to say—" , • Pooh ! old Uncl e J os h never looked through a"millstone but once, and then he peeped in at the hole." " The story may be true, and it may not," said a third speak er; " but if you kiad heard what the deacon toli me--" " Ay, ay!" returned the laugher, " the deacon could always see more moons in the shade than anybody else. Ha ! ha ! ha! ha !—the man with his mouth open !" amid he roared ready to split. I continued to listen, but could gather nothing more distinct of the subject in debate. The talk soon turned into another Channel; the man with the lungs continued to laugh, but it was evidently subdued into something lik e a c h uc kl e. Doubtless he had a lurking fear that the story was true. " Landlord—Colonel," said 1, as mine host of the Washing ton's Head stepped into the room ; " it is a cold night. let us have something warm, and I must get von to tell me a story." " A cold night _,you say, squire ?''(aYankee alw a y s ca ll s you "squire"—who dares say the Yankees are not civil ?) " A 6al sit night, rather—that is, not so warm; hot if you want to know what cold weatheri9 , just stay here till th e last of Janu ar y, and you'll see a cold snap that will make you hum !" ' " Why; colonel, I have no curiosity in the matter of a cold snap, hut I should like much to hear something of what they have been talking yonder—the man with his mouth open !" " Ahem !" said the colonel, with a sly sort of look, 'we have some good gapers here in. the neighbourhood. Now, there is Tom Take-a bite, he has got a mouth like an atligntor; but a s to the real, genuine man with his mouth open—'tis only now and then one can get a peep at him." After some little coquetry ou the part of the landlord, to en banes the value of his narrative, I prevailed on him to sit down by the fire, and begin, but it was iu the most approved fashion , of story-telling, by a round affirmation of the truth of it : " 'Twits a strange affair that part of it about his mouth," he commenced; " many is the time I have laughed to think of it, though, to be sure, 'tis no laughing matter fur a man to have his mouth open, and not be able to shut it. But it is just as true as I sit here. Soule folks make more of it in telling the story, but it's founded on fact, aspeople say that write novels and such like. Well, this Peter Gaff, you see, was an odd chap, one of the odd est of all flesh ; he would read his Bible upside downwards, just to be different from other folks. We paint our houses white, and Pater painted his house black, with red borders to the win dows—ha ! ha ! such a sight !—it looked for all the world like a nigger with sore eyes! But it's all of another colour now, because Jerry Jones, one of Peter's creditors, who took pos session the time that Peter went off in the fog, had it new painted, out of a neighbourly kindness to the deacon, for the deacon's wife used to have a regular fit of the hypochondriacs every time she went by ; but the old woman never liked Peter, because he was so much given to laughing. What's that to you!' Peter• used to say, 'l've a genius for it; every man has a genius for something, and I have a genius fur laughing !' Sure enough so he had, if a body might judge by his looks, for he bad a mouth big enough to take in half a cheese; butit was the ruin of Peter. Let all men take care of their mouths—but that is neither here nor thOte. Peter got into a sort of baddish way—he worked less and drank more. We gave him nothing but good advice, the deacon and I, hoping, that he would lay it to heart. We talked to him in a fatherly way like; so did everybody else. — Pooh ! what did he care Kir it; 'twas just like throwing apples . into a bag without a bottom. Peter went on neglecting his farm; 'twould have made any man's heart grieve to see what a fine piece of land there was all going to destruction, and all for want of a good take-heed. As for Peter, be used to pass whole days idling and frolicking , and turniug up jack, an d laughing as loud as ever. Everybody swore be would come to no good, because his conearn was all wearing out and there was nu money coining in. But the snore his affairs went to ruin the louder Peter laughed ! There was no knowing what possessed the creature to laugh so much. His mouth, as I told you, was as wide as an oven, and when he set up a haw ! haw! it was like the roar of a buffalo. The deacon and all of them took a great scandal at it, and quoted scripture, prophesying that Peter would come to a4norsel of bread. But Peter said he hoped he should never come to worse, and then went on laughing and getting in debt till he had got through his cash and mortgaged his whole estate, so that it was as clear as preaching he must go to the dogs. Finally, the deacon undertook to give him a desperate sort of a lecture by way of a last trial; so he called upon him one Saturday evening—' Peter,' says he, you are little better than one of the wicked.'—' Have you any abjection ?' says Peter. Ah, Peter,' says the deacon, 'if you don't give over laughing, Old Nick will make you grin on the other side of your mouth.!—' Laugh and be fat,' says Peter. ' Not of a Saturday night,' says the deacon. 'Mac Old Nick scratch my jaws,' says Peter, • but I am going to a frolic to-night, and laugh a good stick if I laugh my everlasting one.' The deacon went away quite scared to see Peter so hardened, as he said, for the creature was determined to have it out; and it happened that very night." " What happened ?" " Peter's catastrophe. It was a terrible cold night, and they sat over a rousing fire, drinking hot punch, and flip, and san garee, and what not, and laughing, and singing, and roaring, and making such a halliballoo.—Hark ! isn't that my wife ?" " What ?" " That voice I here calling ? No—never mind—it's only the deacon's pig got stuck in the gateway.—W e ll, th e y wen t on drinking and making a tantarra that disturbed the whole neigh bourhood. I wish,' says Peter, 'that the deacon was here to hear as.' Ha ! ha ! h . a! hal . ha i—hickur ! hick ! hick ! The clock struck midnight just at that moment !—!lick ! hick ! hick ! went Peter ; and what do you think ? he was in the midst of one of his most uproarious laughs, and had stretched his jaws wider. than, he was ever known to do before ; and when he had laughed a regular peal that lasted a quarter of an hour, he tried to shut his mouth but could not ! Strange enough, you'll say; but that is the fact. Hick ! hick ! hick ! he went on. ' That's a long laugh,' said the other fellows. Hick! hick! hick !' says Peter. Finally, he stood stilt gaping as wide as a barn door. Shut your mouth,' said they. But, Lord! he could not shut it to save him from going to the Old Harry ! And how it happened—whether he had stretched his jaw-bones out of joint, and gut them off the hinges; or whether it was a sort of witch craft and judgment upon him, I don't pretend to say ; but there he stood stiff as starch. Peter's companions thought him be witched, so they took to their heels and ran off, frightened out of their wits. Peter was in a sad pickle; he tried to call for help, but how the dogs can a man speak without the mesa his jaws ? Well, after trying . a long while, and finding he made no more noise than a mouse in a cheese, lie gave it up for bad coffee. What could he do for himself? Nothing—so he mounted his horse, and set, out to go for Dr. Drvbones. It was one o'clock in the morning when he got to his louse. Now the doctor was a mighty fretful, touchy, worrisome sort of a man, a good deal troubled with the hypo, and nervous complaints. He had got into a strange way about that time, ima,giniug that somebody was going to eat him up ali ve . H e cou ld not abide any one with a large mouth, and whenever he saw Peter he used to feel a special fit of the horrors; so you may suppose it must have been a pretty considerable shock to his nerves, when in the dead of the night he was roused out of bed by a thundering knock at Up door, and going down with a light to behold Peter with his big mouth stretched wide open to devour him. Mercy on us ! he jumped back about a rod and a half, and then, in his desperation, catching up a broomstick, he went at hint with such a mangling that he was glad to save himself at full gallop, and got off with an open mouth and a shirt full of sore bones! Well, his only course now was to make for the next town, where there was another doctor; so away he went, though it was a good distance. By and by the moon went down, and it was pitch dark. He lust his way, and wandered hither and thither with atnt, meeting a living soul. There was nobody abroad, and the only house he saw was inhabited by an old woman who was always afraid of seeing ghosts; and when Peter tried to get ad mission,' the old woman was so frightened that she called murder! thieves! hobgoblins! and Peter, fearing he should be shut in the-head for a robber or wizard, made his retreat as quick mite could." " With his mouth open all the time ?" " Certainly.—So the story goes, and no doubt of the fact, fur the night was so cold that It must have been hard work to move a man's jaws any way. Uncle Josh remembers the time; he eras iii the iirmy that season, and many was the morning in camp that he could not get up for two hours after he was awake, be cause his old queue had froze fast to the ground ! " Well, Peter went on, but could not tell which way he was going. It was dark as pitch, as I said before, and he had got into a lonely part of the country • there was k no fence to the road, and he soon found himself rambling over the fields, scaring the owls, and frightening himself with the expectation of breaking his neck ornong the ups and downs that gave him a jolt and a bounce every ten steps. After lie had well battered the shins of his horse across the ditches and stone walls, he found hithself upon the river. It was frozen pretty hard ' but presently he came to an air -hole, and souse ! he t um bl e d in ! After floun dering about some time, he was lucky enough to pick himself put, horse and all : indeed 'twas -the horse that saved him, ac cording to the best authorities. Peter an./ his horse got upon dry land again —which of them swallowed the most water during the accident I'll not say, as I was not there to see, but 1 rather think it was Peter. Well, they got upon dry laud, as I said; but they were neither dry nor thirsty, you may suppose. It was terrible cold, as I said before, and Peter would have froze to death if he had not been as tough as a pine -knot. But uncle Josh always said there was no killing him. Peterand bis horse were soaking wet, and so in- less than half an hour be found every rag of clothes about him as hard as horn—in short, he had frozen to the horse's back, and could not move a limb, any inure than if he had been hewed out of a block of stone!— There he sat as stiff as a poker.—The horse gallopped on. So the story goes,—and it stands to reason.—On he galloped up hill, and dowa hill, hither and thither, over field and over pas ture, through the bogs and the swamps, and the woods, and among all sorts of scarecrow places, for Peter could not move an arm to turn him to the right or to the left. In short, he made a regular circumbendibus all round Robin Hood's barn." "Pray, colonel,—l beg pardon for interrupting you,—but how- are all these particulars known ?" The colonel paused at this question, and looked a little puzzled. He scratched his head and gave two or three hems. "I can't exactly say, but they rest on good authority ; there's Giles Godkins will take his oath on the biblebook, that he spied him about four o'clock the Sunday morning as he got up to fodder his cattle; Peter was going at a full canter down Break neck bill into Dead-man's hollow. Giles hollooed after him, but he kept cantering on till he was out of sight in the darkness. Giles did not know what to make of it. thinking it might be the witch of Endor on a broomstick, or the ghost of old Sagamore Saul, the Indian marauder, astride of a black bear. However, some days afterward the whole story came out, and Giles found that he had seen Peter Goff." " And what became of Peter the next morning?" " You shall hear. All night long, as I said, he wastramping about, snuffing the gentle gale that blew just then from the north-west about sixteen degrees below nothing. Many a man rememberstriat cold snap. the deacon in particular, for he kept a grocery store there, and his whole stock of rum and brandy froze as hard as rock Dundee. But that was easily accounted for. "Well, it blew as I tell you, pretty considerably keen; and Peter was cool enough for comfort. He was right glad when he saw the day break, so that he could find the road again; and just after, sunrise he got into Firetown. " Now Peter's horse stopped at the tavern, for that is a horse's trick. -whether his rider wants to atop or not ; but Peter of course could not get off ; by-and-by somebody came out—now it hap-. pened thatthis was old Crusty, that used to keep the Punch Bowl.—Tim, as the devil would have it—for certainly nobody but the devil ever could contrive to twist up such a snarl of ac cidents—Tim, I say, had just caught a terrible cold, which made him so hoarse that he could not utter a voice louder than a whisper, end, moreover, lie was so stiff in the neck with the rheumatism, that he could not turn his head the hundredth part of an inch. Well, Tim came to the door, and you may think he was pretty considerably surprised at the-sight of Peter; for Peter, you may depend, made a horrible hobgoblin appearance by broad daylight. However, Tim was not a man to be fright ened, for he had been in the old French wars, and, besides that, he was inspector-general of our brigade of militia, so that, you know, he was used to all sorts of scarecrow sights. Tim stared, witho u t saying a word—for why, he was not able to speak.— Peter neither spoke nor stirred, for the same reason. Tim looked at Peter, and Peter looked at Tim! "There was little tale-telling lost between them, I promise you, for both were as dumb as haddocks. Tim waited for Peter to speak, and Peter waited for Tim to do the same. Tim won dered why Peter did. not dismount, but Peter sat as stiff as ever. Tim wondered that Peter did not move, and Peter wondered ditto at Tim---so they took it out in staring. After a long while.catne out•Sitnou Stumpar, the stable-boy; but here was another crook in the lot. Simon stuttered, like a cat a-chok ing, so that he was little better off than 'rim, I'm blessed if they did not find it awkward enough. Simon was struck all of aheap when he saw the two figures throwing silent looks at one another, like the compliments between the cow and the hay stack. limas a long time before he found the useof his tongue, but by-and-by he stammered out, `Wha—wha—wha—wha— ' wha4-wha—wha—t's the ma—ma—ma—ma—mat—mat—mat- ter?' And what said they? why—just. nothing at all. Then Simon began to stare at Peter, and says he, `But—but--but— but—who are you ?' Peter gave a sort of a wink-like, but could not move his jiws. 'But — but—but—but—who the de—de— de—de—de—devil areyou ?' says Simon; but Peter sod no thing in reply. Whatever he thought is nothing at all to the purpose. Peter sat stiff, Tim stared, and Simon stuttered but' in the end, finding that Peter kept up such a horrible gaping, Simon concluded he was making mouths at him, so, catching up a stick of wood, he let drive at him such a li c k, that' if it had h a hi m 'twould have smashed in his front teeth, I guess. — Peter's horse took a start, and away he went. " Well, Peter was off, as I said, and gallopped a pretty con siderable pace along the road. It was Sunday, you know : by-and-by the bells rung, and he found the people were going to meeting. The first man he met was Billy Dough-head, the new parson, who was to preach his first sermon that day. Billy had been sent to study divinity, because his friends found he was.good for nothing else, and they were sure he would make a capital preacher ! They say he was a little sort of bashful at the thought! of mounting the pulpit, and made a first trial by going into the garden' and preaching to the cabbage-heirdi But as Billy was plodding along, mighty solemn and minister like, he lifted up his eyes, and behold! Peter came thundering along the road, all a-gape as before, Bills was thrown into a horrible consternation ' not being particularly powerful in the nerves. He took him fur one of Belzebub's light dragoons, on a scout up and down after stray sinners. He dropped his ser mon, took to !light, and scampered off as fait as his legs could carry him, without once looking back. The people collected at the meeting-house; the bell kept tolling and tolling, but no body came to preach. In short, Billy got home to his grand mother, and has never been seen in these parts since. Peter put the parson to flight, but that was no fault of his, for it was not yet warm enough to thaw him off; so he kept on. It was not long before he was spied by old Solomon Screech, the tything-inan. • Aha!' says Sol, • a fellow travelling Sunday! I'll put a stop to his peregrination ; so out he sallied to inter cept him, and sung out to Peter as he drew near, " Soho! Soho 1 you wicked sinner how dare you travel on the Sab bath ? Stop! stop! or I arrest you in the name of the common wealth !' " Peter would have been glad to stop, but he had no voice in that matter,—for why ? His voice was dead within him. 'Stop! stop! says old Sol, but finding Peter had no design of stopping, and Sol being in a sort of bank-like as he passed, he made a catch at him, but it was like .eatchmg at a post; so to save him self from being dragged he sprang up behind Peter. At this' the horse got to be in a sort of antic and furious way by this time, and drove a-head like a whirlwind, so that Sol, in the room of stopping him, found himself carried away.' But he was determined not to give up; so he kept fast hold, astride of the .animal, behind Peter. "Peter's long hair;for, he had lost his hat in the river, stuck ,out with frozen locks on all sides. Old Sol was crook-backed and hump-shouldered, so that both of them together, flying along at full speed, might have been taken for the great beast in the Revelations, with seven heads and ten horns. As you may suppose, the dialogue that passed between them during the journey was all on one side, like the handle of a jug. Old Sul kept calling out Stop ! stop ! why don't you stop ? I'm a tything man—l'm an elder of the church ! I'll fine ye! I'll imprison ye !' and all that sort of talk; but whisht on the old horse gallopped faster than ever, and Peter never said a word. Old Sol began to wonder a little, but presently he grew some what scared, for the horse got to be right-down furious, and pulled a-head as if bewitched. 'Stop, stop,' said Sol, ' let me get off ! stop! stop, and I'll let you go !'—but not a straw did the old horse care for all that. On they drove like a stream o' chalk, and old Sol was frightened out of his wits. Bv-and-by they came to Artichoke Bridge, and it happened the bridge was a little out of repair, some of the timber and planks being rotten. So as they were going thundering over it at a furious pace, the bridge gave way, and down they went. Old Sol ex pected to be drowned in the mar, so he kept hold of Peter to save himself; and as to Peter, he stuck fast to the horse of course ;so in the upshot they all three got safe.to land. Well, off they set again, for Sol had not time to dismount, the horse was so antic ; and it was not long before he found himself froze as stiff as Peter, and all three of them were stuck as hard toge ther as the bricks in that chimney." Whether 1 looked a little incredulous at this part of the story I. do not know, but the landlord seemed to think so, for he continued:— " Pooh I I never heard any one object to that, because the first part being true, the rest follows of course; it. stands to reason. Away they went, frightening every body on the road. Peter in front, with his horrible wide mouth yawning like the bottomless pit, and old Sol behind, screaming and roaring like mad. I'fags! 'twas a sight to see. I can seem to imagine the whole bunch of them right before my eyes—there they go ! Peter, Sol, and old Fire-the-Faggot, all in a- bunch ! There they go full chisel; hurrah! `The colonel here became highly animated.] Peter gaping ; old Sol roaring; the old horse kick ing up his heels and making the gravel fly ; the people staring and running away frightened. On they drive through Dog town! and Grab-all! and Pigwocket ! and Ivlunkifunk ! " Egad, Colonel, your neighbours had some odd names." "That's neither * here nor there—on they went—on they went—hurrah !—hurrah I—through thick and thin, like a streak of lightning, that asks leave of nobody. "On they went—further and further. I see them going, rushing past like a mill-stream. But stop, my story is nearly at an end now," said the colonel, pausing a moment to take breath, and wiping away the perspiration from his forehead, —for the excitement of the story had got him quite into a blowze—" It's pretty near an end, for Peter never came back !" "Never came back ! and what became of his companion, the tytbing-man ?" "Oh, as for that old Sol, there is no knowing how-long he stuck to him ; but as the weather happened to moderate a little while afterwards, a shower of rain came on, so most probably he thawed off." " Dead or alive ?" " Something between them both ; for he was picked up on the road in a sort of bamboozlement of the mental facultieslike. Indeed he never got the better of it; for he has been a little cracked ever since." _ _ _ " But was nothing more beard of Peter ?" " Not very direct; some say he's w andering now in the Alleghano mountains, though a great &env people are positive they have seen him on dark nights flitting here and there, try ing to shut his moUtb. Several times they have spoken to him, but be never made answer, and that is natural. There are many opinions about it to this day; and to tell the truth, squire have many times had a distant glimmering of something like suspicion as to the mystery and witchcraft of the affair; for you must be informed that Peter left a good many debts behind him ; and old Commodore Keelson said that he was struck with a lock-jaw very appropov, as he calls it, just in the nick of time, as one may say; for he would have been taken up for debt had he staid till Monday. In fact, I have been told there is a man still living in New Hampshire State that has a strong resem blance to Peter. Old Commodore Keelson always maintained it was quite a natural occurrence, and that Peter cleared out to escape the land-sharks." " But you say his ghost still walks—rides I mean ?" "Aye; so many &fellow thinks of a dark night, after telling stories of the 'Man with his Mouth open.' But the commodore says that can be nothing but the flying Dutchman with his land tacks abroad, and he has seen that himself." COMMISSION OF LUNACY ON LADY E. FILMIER A commission de lunatico inquirendo was held on Saturday last at the Yorkshire Stingo, Lis.on-grove, before Commission ers Whitmarsh, Blunt, and Winslow, to inquire into the lunacy of Dame Esther Filiner, of Alpha-road. Thomas A. Stone, of Clifford-street, surgeon, was the first witness examined.—Had known her about 15 months. At that time she was perfectly sane, and so continued up to last July. In September he was called i n t o see h er; f oun d her in a state of great excitement, walking up and down the room, accusing herself of the grossest crimes, and declaring she was the greatest wretch that had ever existed. Two nights after was much worse, and hardly to be controlled. This took place at the Bath Hotel. Dr. Monro was called in, and. they both saw her together about the 20th of September. She was then much in the same state, and in consequence of the great noise she made is was deemed proper to rem o v e h er t o th e Alpha-road, where she has remained ever since. Has since seen her frequently, the last time on Tuesday last. She continued in much the same state, requiring at times, when very violent, two persons to hold her. She said she was dying of pres Sure on the chest; that she had no bowels; was merely an empty shell; had no brain; nothing could destroy her; she must live to the end of the world; had been the cause of the death of her late husband; Thousands were starving on her account; she must be buried in a cave, or else put in a coffin and placed in the vault at East Sutton Church (Sir John Filmer, her husband, was rector of East Sutton; he died on the 15th of July last.) She is capable of speaking on various subjects for a short time, but, on the de lusions being again alluded to, soon relapses again into her former state. Is of opinion she is a lunatic, without lucid in tervals. Her age is under forty, and she enjoys pretty good health. Dr. Monro examined.—First saw Lady Filmer on the 24th of September last, at the Bath Hotel; found her in a very desponding state, incapable of turning her mind from the idea of her extreme wickedness. Confirmed the evidence of Mr. Stone as regarded her state of mind, and added that she once stated to him that if her throat were to be cut from ear to ear she could not die—nothing )could destroy her. She lamented that the conservative cause must suffer from her wickedness ; she expects to meet the gentlemen assembled here to-day for the purpose of obtaining their permission to bury herself alive in the vault of East Sutton church. He pronounced her a lu natic without lucid intervals. It was a most decided straight forward case, there could be but one opinion about it, and he re commended the jury to see the lady at once. Lady Filmer was then conducted into the room, and took her seat near the chief commissioner. She was dressed in deep mourning; her countenance is pleasing and expressive, and be trays no symptoms of her malady. Her manner of addressing the commissioner was particularly earnest. She began by stating that she was positively the wickedest woman in the world—positively, oh! yes indeed', positively so. It was now ab solutely necessary to inter her. She hall already destroyed seven straitwaistcoats. " I have a very extraordinary re quest to make; it will appear a very extraordinary one to you, gentlemen, no doubt, but it must be granted, it must indeed; I am convinced I shall never die ; and I must not be keptabove ground any longer; I hope you will consent to my being buried alive. lam not human; I ain a million times worse than the devil himself." On the chief-cominissiouer gently remonstrat ing with her, and saying that there was a Supreme Being who would pity and pardon her sins, she interrupted him hastily by saying, Oh, no—oh, no, impossible ! I have lived without God in the world; I have been very wicked,- I was blessed far more than I deserved; my hu s b a nd was the best of men, and I destroyed him." In answer to an inquiry about her property, she" said it was all gone, she had foolishly expended it; the £3OaXlO was still in the bank, but she had inure than that. and spent it all; gave it to poor people; had eight pensioners, at Is per week only, it was true. She concluded with these words:---" All I earnestly solicit is that I may be interred; I am a mere shell; it is so, in deed, and you know it is so, (appealing to her attendants.) I have no heart, no bowels, nothing but lights; that is my only request ; it is absolutely necessary, it roust be d one. Wh en will you let me know ? Do not delay it beyond M on d ay. I t i s absolutely ne c es sar y, an d w h en th a t is done Sir Edward Filmer will settle everything; but I must be buried, it must be done." This was spoken with so much earnestness of manner, and iv such an impressi v e t o n e of vo i ce , th a t it exc i te d the greatest sympathy in all pr e sent; seveial were deeply affected, a nd it was not until the chief-commissioner assured her that the gen tlemen present would take her request into immediate consider ation that she could be prevailed upon to retire. The scene altogether was of the most interesting but melancholy descrip tion. ti Verdict—" Lunacy, without lucid intervals from the 23d of September, 183-1." THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. ANCIENT DUTCH RELIQUE. We have at present in our possession an antique brass casket, of an oblong shape, adorned with various sculptures. The lid represents an orange-tree in bearing, with two persons seated vis-a-vis beneath its branches ; the one inscribed " Prins," the other " Princes." As a legend or motto, the following coup let : --- • " So lang de Son sal schyne Sal Orauies stain piet verdwyrre," which, were it not for a little difference in the spelling, any Scotchman would read — So long [as] the sun shall shine, Shall Orange's stem not fordwine; or The line of Orange shill not fail. On the front of the box—" VIVA Olt ANIE." On the back— " ORANIE BOVE," that is, ORANGE ABOVE; or, UP WITH THE ORANGE. On the bottom the arms of Nassau and Orange very neatly engraved. The whole seems evidently to refer to the year 1672, when the office of stadtholder was restored. " Orani e B ove " was t h e watchword of the prevailing party, and is applicable to the Orange stripe, which had been lowered when the stadtholder ship was abolished, but was now placed uppermost again in toe colours of the Seven United Provinces. the prince and prin cess to whom this tribute of loyalty (comm emorate d b y t h e artist) was paid are William and Mary, the future sovereigns of Britain, more effectually immortalised by the glorious revo lution of 1688 than by any memorial which art can execute in Marble, or in brass.. The casket .was Originally in tne posses sion of a shipbuilder in Ayr, and it probably came into his hands during his intercourse, in the way of business, with some loyal Dutch skipper, who may have had his vessel repaired at this port.—Ayr Observer. SCRAPS FROM CORBETT. BEGINNING OF THE REVOLUTION.—You, sir, who are- a lawyer, as well as soldier and statesman, know very well the nature of church property in England: you know that it is in terwoven with every acre of land, of whatever tenure, in the whole kingdom. You are too good a judge of these things not to know that, if once this property be touched, in any shape whatsoever, unless by a general sweeping measuse that would make a distinct line of demarcation, the touch will extend itself, directly or indirectly, to every estate id-the-wniggy. You.well know that it is impossible to make aims. to take away the value, or part of the value, of an advowsun, without causing the same principle to be applied to the holdings of bishops, deans and chapters, and colleges. You well know that you cannot touch these without extending the touch to laydithes; and you know that these cannot be touched without proceeding upon a princi ple which. would resume the abbey-lauds, and place them at the disposal of the state. And, sir, that lam not talking of things here which are mere matters of imagination, let me beg You to observe, that it is confidently stated in his own papers that the minister means to meddle With advowsous, and with the pro perty of deans and chapters. THE ENGLISH MONEY-MONSTER.—It is the interest; the pressing political .and party interest; the interest of the minis try, of the tory party; of the King and his family; it is the obvious and pressing interest of all these, that the tax upon malt should be repealed. There is no possible argument against the repeal ; and reasons so strong for it, that no man dares enter the lists in argument against it. Yet, in spite of all this; in spite of the imminent danger in which the new ministry is placed; in spit e of the certain security which they would derive from the repeal of this tax, we are confidently told in the news papers that the minister will risk even his place and his power, and leave the King again to the mercy of the whigs, ratherthan repeal this tax, his only reason against it being, that without it be cannot keep " national , faith? Here you have a practical instance of the power of the money-monster. Hereou see us just in the track of Neckar and Colenne ; and here I y am afraid you see the beginning of an end not very much unlike that' which you have seen before. It signifies not what wealth we have. If we had ten times as much as we have, it would be all absorbed by this monster; for it is utterly impossible for any creative power, for any wealth, for any resources to stand against the power of a hundred add fifty-two men, who receive in interest, in gold, nine millions of pounds sterling a year. THE FRENPH MONEY-MONSTEIL—InTrance tithes have long been abolished: there is, in fact, no dominant church; there is no hereditary legislature; the mere titles of nobility are a mockery; the King is elected, and may be turned out any day. There is not one ancient institution, and consequently no abuse of suet) institution left remaining; yet, by the means of this atrocious money-monster system, the people are inure degraded and more miserable slaves than they were udder the sway of any of the descendants rof St. Louis. It is the Bourse that arms the ruffians called the National Guards, every one of whom carries a bayonet to compel the people to toil to pay the interest of the debt; and they slaughter them with as little mercy as they would kilt rats and mice. You detected your horrible bank in suborning the pees.. In France they do the thing more openly and effectually: they sitffr vu man to be a JOURNALISr unless he first become a jiindhader, and unless he acquire and keep the ownership.of stock, on his own exclusive ac count, to the amount of four thousand eigle hundred pounds sterling. JUDICIAL ADMINISTRATION, ISLE OF MAN. Monday week his Honour Deemster Heywood held bis court in this town, when upwards of 200 causes were on the list, and the majority of them gone through—a greater despatch of business than was ever before known here. The reason of so many suits having accumulated was, that no court had been held for the preceding two months; and when this circumstance is considered, the number of litigants cannot be thought ex cessive. Upon this occasion, it may not be improper to remark, that every friend to the advancement and respectability of the island must feel pleasure in observing the evident improvement which has taken place in conducting the business of the courts. This is the more gratifying, as it is not difficult to remember the time when it was far otherwise, to the regret of all who entertained a due res p ect f or th e proper a d m i n i strat i on of l aw andjustice. That suavity of manners and respectful demea nour which is now observed by the attorneys to the judge, and also to each other, afford pleasing indications of a happy me lioration in the management of our judicial proceedings. At pre sent, the principal object - of the leading advocates is evidently to bring that the judicial cont es t s i n w hi c h t h ey are en oaged i „ to a spredyissue, without regard to any emoluments at might arise from a postponement of the cases; and the Deemster seems equally desirou s o f t erm i nat i ng every cause on the first hearing, to prevent the serious increase of expense attendant upon adjourned suits. Another reason for congratulation is the obvious decrease, within the last few wears, in the number of law-suits, which were once so numerous as to denote the ex istence of a bitter and malevolent disposition among the in habitants. Still, however, the bad spirit of litigation is by far too prevalent, and should by every possible means be repressed and discouraged. This wrangling and mischievous temper of mind (the bane of public tranquillity) operates to a much greater extent in the c oun t r y th an i n towns; th oug h it is pro bable that fifty times more business is transacted in the latter than in the form er . I t wou ld b e mer i tor i ous con d uc t in per sons possessing influence in the different parishes, were they, both by example and precept, to discountenance, and as far as in their power endeavour to suppress this litigious propensity in their respective neighbourhoods. For wherever such a malig nant and persecuting spirit prevails, it in a great measure destroys that peace and harmony which ever distinguish civi lized society.—Mona's Herald. WHO IS PREMIER? The tun Hastie, Robertson, arrived in the Frith of Clyde on Sunday, 'from Halifax, after an extraordinary quick passage of twenty days. Previous to her setti ng s a il, th e news of the-dis solution of the whig ministry had reached that place; and of course the passengers, during their short sojourn on the deep, were all anxiety to learn who it was that had been selected b v the King as the future state helmsman. At length an oppor tunity appeared to present itself, when the doubts of the voy agers, on this interesting point, were to be dispelled. When off Ailsa Craig, a boat was observed nearing the Jean; and in a trice a trusty pilot was hoisted on board the smart-sailing ves sel, which, by standing so tightly to the wind, and so hero i c a lly breasting the "mountain w a ve," had been the means so speed ily of bringing het mariners to the wished-for shore. The pilot had scarcely got footing on deck, till the absorbing question of " Who is premier ?" was popped by the captain, and the wist ful countenances of the passengers betokened how interested they .were in the reply. " Who is premier ?" reiterated the seaman, " Why, it's 'Wallace of Kelly, to be sure." " Hype rion to a saty r ! Wallace of Kelly,' muttered the petrified auditors—" he of the shipwrecked shocking bad hat—th e thi ng ' s impossible—he'll only be member." The - pilot assured his as tonished hearers that his information was correct; and seemed to be about, in his own way, to point out the qualifications of that eminent patriot to discharge the duties of the exalted office, when a gentleman present cut the remarks of the reforming tar short, by asking him "Who was prime, minister ?" Thi s was a most unexpected poser. " Pr-i-me Min-is-ter!" stammered Jack, looking things unutterable. " Why, you may ask the premier himself, our own Bob, who knows everything, for I . really don't know, not baying been in the kirk these two years." The effect on the hearers, as may be imagined, was irresistible; and the intellectual pilot was allowed to take the helm, wonder ing at the amusement he had himself been th e -i nnocent means of creating among his interrogatists, who were thus permitted to remain in disagreeable ignorance of the real state of political matters, till from the good ship the Jean they were safely landed at Greenock. When the truth was told, we doubt not they felt highly gratified.—Glasgow Courier. THE MEETING OF PARLIAMENT. The following notices, fixing the localities of the No Houses of Parliament, appeared in Tuesday's Gazette:— Lord Great Chamberlain's-office, Feb. 17, 1635. The chambers in the Palace of Westminster, which have usuallY been appropriated to the meeting of the 'louses of Par liament, having been partially destroyed by fire, his Majesty has directed the chamber called the Painted Chamber, in the said palace, to be fitted up and prepared for the' temporary aC commodation of the House of Peers; and the chamber called the Court of Requests, to the said palace, for the temporary ac commodation of the House of Commons, at the ensuing meet ing of Parliament. CHOLMONDELI:y S D.G.C. Board of Green Cloth, St. James's Palace, Feb. 17. The chambers in the Palace of Westminster, heretofore ap propriated to the meeting of the two Houses of Parliament, having been destroyed by fire, his Majesty has ordered the chambers usually denominated the Painted Chamber and the Court of Requests, in the said palace, to be respectively fitted up and prepared for the temporary accommodation of the Houses of Lords and Commons, at the ensuing m ee tin g o f Par liament. WILTON, Lord Stewad of his Majesty's Household. SUMMONS TO CONSERVATIVES. Ue, up, my brave comrades—come rouse to the call Ot your country —your King —your religion, and all— All—all that is dear, let us fence with a ring, And. save from destruction our altars and King. There once was a time when an Englishman's . boast Was to give Church and King as his ev'ry day toast; But the Rads of our days would hurl Ro34lty down, And pluck the bright gem of the Church from the Crown. There once was a time when "the Ladies were given" The next —as the very best bounty of Heav'n ; But the Radical crew some fresh idol have seen, And, shame to their manhood they groan at the Queen, Some dining-out Lords, who would gammon the folks, With their plans of Reform (Oh ye gods, what a hoax), Cry—" rob us the Church ;" and while turtle they carve, Send the poor to the workhouse—or leave them to starve, Then rally, my hearties—revive the good times, When the laws were respected, and riots were crimes; Let us join heart and voice, and with ecstacv sing, Long life to our Church, Constitution, and Ring. THE EMPIRE OF WOMAN.—ScHILLsa. Her might is gentleness—she winneth sway By a soft word, and by a softer look ; Where she, the gentle-loving one, hath failed, The proud or stern might never succeed. Strength, power, and majesty, belong to-man; They make the . glory native to his life ; But sweetness is a w unan's attribute— By that she has reigned, and by that will reign. There ha ve b een some, who, with a mightier mind, Have won dominion—but they never won The dearer empire of the beautiful:— Sweet sovereigns in their natural loveliness. L. E. L. TESTIMONY FROM THE WORKING CLASSES TO A CLERGY MAN.—The working classes of South Shields, on Saturday last, presented to the lieu . James Carr, Incumbent of St. Hilda's, a silver salver with a Pocket Cuemmunion Service as a testimony of their gratitude fur his unwearied and affectionate attention to the poor of the town during two visitations of the cholera. On this occasion a very considerable number of the working classes were assembled in the Seaman's Hall, and it was pleas ing to observe the manly pride they seemed to feel in being able to evince their gratitude and respect for the worthy . clrgyman. The salver is thirteen inches in diameter, and with the Com munion Service cost £2l, which suns was raised by 1'239 sub scribers, whose names were written on a sheet of parchment accompanying the plate. John liedpath, a mason, read an `address to the rev. gedtleman, who replied to.it by affectionately . urging upon his audience that amendment of life which it is the design of all visitations of Providence to accomplish. This is the third testimonial which Mr. Carr has received within a few weeks. The first was a gold ring from the children of the parochial schools, which was followed by a huge salver and seventy-seven sovereigns from the inhabitants in general; and perhaps the tribute we now record still more powerfully testifies the exemplary character of this useful and respected elcirgitnan. —Newcastle Journal, LONDON GAZETTE.-MESDAY, FEB. 17.
