7 THERE'S d LINING OF SILVER TO EVERY CLOUD." NY JONATHAN THRICE sLisosßY. "Did a sable clo u d Turn forth her silver lining on the night ?"—Mtvrox. One winter night dreary, Dejected and weary, I kept my lone vigil of sorrow and care ; Mistrusting—mistaking— .leip heart full t o b rea ki ng — My soul seeking comfort, and finding despair ! All wildly and chilly The wind whistled shrilly, Drifting the clout's o'er the desolate sky ; Low moaned the ocean In ceaseless commotion, Nailing the spray of its billows on high ! Tearfully gleaming, The young moon was beaming, Struggling by fits through each gathering cloud ; Faint light now shedding, Dark shades now spreading, Over the moonshine their vapoury shroud ! ! thus," thought 1, sighing, "From birth to our dying, Niel course is a struggle through trial and gloom Joy gives scarce a promise That Grief rends not from us, O'er the light of our life looms the shade of the tomb !" But soon, to my wonder, The cloud burst asunder. And down through thefissure 110 W streamed the moon's light; Soft fell its splendor, So holy and tender, In showers of sheen on the face of the night ! While all the cloud's margent Was gleaming like argent, Though earthward still sullen and dark was its shroud. I krew that towards heaven Its brightness was given -A lining of silver spread over the cloud! Then my soul rose in gladness, And shook off its sadnes, I felt God can turn all our darkness to light— To-day what is sorrow - Make joy on the morrow— ,Dry tears that are hiding His ztniles from our sight I looked up, confessing That Trial is Blessing, To Him if each grief be spread out and avowpfl ; What from earth Man sees gloOrning, God afore is Blunting— " There's a lining of silver to every cloud!" REVIEWS OF BOOKS. • The Works of William Cowper ; with a Life of the Author by Robert Southey, LL.D. Lon don: Henry 6. Bohn. To the English reading public this edition of Cowper's life, poems, and letters, got up under the careful supervision of the late Dr. Southey, cannot fail to be a great boon. By general consent, Cowper i s a d m itt e d to hold the foremost rank as a Christian poet, his works abounding in the spirit of Christian love, set forth with simple and impres sive earnestness, yet embellished and enriched by the finest touches of poetic beauty ; his letters are by most judges held to be models of epistolary ease and gracefulness ; while his subdued and melancholy life and history afford rare teachings of that humility which it becomes children of the dust to observe and practise in all their thoughts and actions. The publication of Cowper's poetry has been justly acknowledged to form an epoch in the history of English literature, and its beauties .to have exercised a purifying influence not alone upon the poetry of England but upon the tone of morals which pervades the higher class of intellec tual labour. To select and arrange and superin tend the publication of the works of such an author was a task so peculiarly within the range of Dr. Southey's taste and poweri ; while his aptitude in the minute delicacies and broad pencillings of bio graphical delineation, so well fitted him for an un exceptionable execution of the task, that not fewer than three publishing firms of celebrity solicited him to engage in the arduous and responsible ope- Natim of producing a complete edition of Cowper's works. Once embarked in the enterprise, Southey's 1 reputation secured him willing aid from all who 340 could assist him in his labour., and ready access to every source whence information could be glean his own industry and clear judgment supplyi the only other intellectual requirements to com plete the u n d er t a ki ng. The felicitous combinatio n 1 of these almost fortuitous advantages resulted in the preparation of an edition of Cowper's Works which reflected, as in a faultless mirror, " the form and pressure" of the poet's intellect, the tender aspirations of his benevolent hopes, the manly sim plicity v of his ge n tl e ye t ennobling piety, and the . harrassmg anxieties to which his susceptible nature rendered him so completely a. prey. The poet, in short, was made to show himself in native and undisguised fidelity of thought and feeling ; his biographer and editor contenting himself with merely holding the lamp, whose rays he directed -* with artistic skill, so concentrating the lights and massing the shadows, as to present a truthful yet interesting and unoffending picture, spirited as the vigorous offspring of genius —elaborated with the broad fidelity of truth—refined, chastened, sub dued by the discrimination of an artist, and polished by the fastidious hand of regulated cul ture. Such a work, so produced, met with a hearty welcome among the affluent admirers of intellectual grace and beauty, hut its cost, neces sarily, limited the possession of such a treasure to those whose circumstances place them above the harrowing task of making " three guineas do the work of five ;" and to bring the work NI, ithin reach of the pecuniary means of the middle and even humbler classes, has in the present instance been the kindly and self-imposed duty of Mr. Bohn ; in tt ua e l erforma nce o f w hi ch he has displayed his usual liberality. I ns t ea d o f a b r id g i ng t h e original to meet the income derivable from a low price, he has amplified it by a considerable and valuable amount of additional correspondence by Cowper, and other interesting matter, trusting to an exte nsive saleforhis ch ance o f re -i m b ursement. The editionis to consist of eight volumes, the first of which has only as yet been published; it is handsomely printed and beautifully embellished by illustrative; engravings, and when completed it will form a valuable addition to the library of peer or peasant. The Universal Library, Nos. 25 and 26. London N. Cooke, These two numbers of this excellent collection of the works of our best authors, are devoted, the one to our poetical literature, the other to didactic lore. The first, the poetical number, contains " The Canterbury Tales" of Geofrey Chaucer, deservedly considered the father of our English poetry. The tales are introduced by an explanatory notice from the pen of Mr. T. Wright, in which, with unob trusive and characteristic modesty, he confines his remarks to the general excellence and admitted popularity which have been accorded to the Thisnterbury Tales" for nearly four centuries. is succeeded by a short historical sketch of the poet. The text has been carefully collated with the best MSS., and is furni s h e d with illustrative notes ; in additon to all which there is a copious and well digested glossary. In short, neither expense nor pains have been spared in the endeavour to render this edition of Chaucer worthy of public confidence and esteem, and a fit companion of the beautiful, though cheap series, of which it forms a part. The other number is devoted to the miscel laneous prose efforts of Oliver Goldsmith, whose literary wisdom formed so striking a contrast to his worldly and personal folly and improvidence. Of these essays it is only a repetition of the public sentiment, recorded in an extensive and still increas ing popularity, to say, they are admirable models of English composition, and that they are distin guished by the alluring display of practical dis- 4 crimination and sagacity, the want of which formed the characteristic of Goldsmith's walk and conver sation through life. Several volumes of this hand some classical series being now ready for delivery, they will form, singly or collectively,admirable Christ mas presents. They are in all respects beautifully Rat up, and, from their cheapness, are readily come-at-able by all. Pulmonary Consumption, and its Treatment. By W. M. Burslem, M.D. London : John Churchill. The attention of the medical faculty has for "141n1;11 years beenanxiously devoted to the s t u dy o f ?e 3- ronlar consumption, with the humane view of bgating its distressing frequency of attack, and `",„,Ting its rava ges , un f or t unately, it must be ad as Itteci, with ou t very valid grounds on whi c h t o rt " 4 b y th e Pe of ultimate success.

We regret to think so much devotion, and so great a tear and wear of intellect, should have been as yet productive of so limited a benefit. In the work before us we find the manifestation of deep and acute preliminary research, unwearied application of resources, and anxious watchfulness of results, added to sound inductive reasoning, all leading to an indulgence of golden hope ; but alas ! we fear, like those of his predecessors and compeers, the harvest of suc cess to be reaped by Dr. Burslem will be but trivial compared with his exertions; and naught if mea sured by his expectations. His pathological views of the disease are admitted to be correct, inasmuch as they coincide with those of the greatest authorities on the subject ; his diao-noses appear to be equally accurate, and his mode of treatment, as indicated by the cases he records, is in an eminent degree satisfactory ; still we are constrained to admit, that after the acknowledged failure of many modes of treatment which, in the estimation of their advocates, at first seemed to warrant an indulgence in hopes as flattering as those which inspire our author, we feel that we must pause for a mo re p ro t rac t e d proof of efficacy ere we can unhesitatingly commit ourselves to a full reliance on his conclusions. His industry, talents, and assiduity of labour in the cause of suffering humanity entitle him to public thanks and regard; that he may reap the full fruit of success in those labours ought to be the wish of every friend to the human family. The Evangelicals and " _Edinburgh." By the Rev. Samuel Minton, M.A. Liverpool: Deighton and Laughton. Under the above title, we have a smartly-written pamphlet, levelled with good effect in enntraven tion of the aspersions cast upon the Evangelical party in the Church by "The Edinburgh, Review." Mr. Minton having buckled on his armour, pro ceeds valiantly in his warfare against the assailants of his party. In the opening of his campaign, Mr. Minton, with obvious alacrity, an d no mail amount of kill, undertakes a defence of the Rev.. Dr. MWeile, from the attack, and a justification of him from the aspersions of the Edinburgh Re , viewer. The reverend doctor having in so satis factory and triumphant a manner vindicated his own position, and rebutted the accusations made against him, this vicarious defence might probably have been spared; more particularly so as the controversial powers of Mr. Minton, being hus banded, could have been more efficaciously ap plied in justification of points iuhfcrt had not met with so competent a defender. This unnecessary expenditure of power is the more' to - be regretted from the success of its applications in other re spects ' • witness the felicity with which) he casti gates the Reviewer, for his sneers lie respeet to the religious observances with which secular parties are occasionally closed in the private-dkvellm.gs of pious families.. The sacred privacy of tfitrdomestic circle is generally understood to exempt. it from the intrusion of public remark, and a departure from this wholesome practice, if excusa/1413. at all, is probably less out of character in the pages of The Edinburgh Review than in any other publi cation, when that organ of religious latftialrßa rianism so far diverges from its usual course•as to essay a vindication of anything connected witlib the Church. In the pamphlet before us, Mr. Milton is also happy in showing up and exploding - the Reviewer's assertion that the Evangelical preacher inculcates "predestinarian fatalism ; ' and he ridi cules and denounces, with much severity and force, the objectionable epithets which the Reviewer. with a greater display of willingness than good taste, bestows on the different parties into whiel4 it may be unfortunately, the adherents of the" Church are divided. In these and various otherr respects, Mr. Minton, by his brochure, has donee good service to the cause he has so courageously espouse.d. dassell' s Illustrated Family Paper. It is a circumstance worthy of note, even in- these days of cheap publications, that a weekly paper of eight folio pages is piiblished for one penny. The are of good size, very well executed, and of number sufficient togratify the most ardent admirer of pictures. The reading matter is very entertaining, and, upon the whole, it is one of the cheapest periodicals which has yet been sent forth. Tim of Liverpool, from the River. Liverpool : W. Thomson. In this large and beautiful lithographed view of the town and port of Liverpool, as these are to be seen from the river, much interest is naturally concentrate& It is taken from a picture in which the talents of two artists of repute have been com bined, the town portion having been executed by Mr. J. Butler, while the shipping has been sur rendered into the hands of Mr. T. Walters ; and these two gentlemen have succeeded in the produc tion of a picture replete with local interest, and full of fine artistic feeling. The foreground, or what, for want of a better name, is called the foreground of the picture, is diversified by telling portraits of particular and well-Imown crafts ;. and the various. points of interest in the town are delineated with% truth and interest. In transferring the subject to the stone, Mr. T. Picken has displayed fine taste• and aptitude. The general effect is soft and pleasing ; the atmospheric indication tender, aerial,. and breezy. The print is dedicated to Mr. S. Holme, the late mayor, who may be proud of the compliment in which so pleasing and rare a com— bination of local talent is brought to bear upon a subject endeared to the inhabitants by many and: gratifying associations. As a work of art, it is highly creditable to all concerned in the production of it.. NEW MUSIC. " Passed away to Heaven"—" The Spring and Summer both are past"—" Joyful, feed Spring"—" Say, my heart, can this be lave" London : Cramer, Peale, and Co. Ar this festive season, when the strains of music and the poetry of action are the charms which have a general attraction amidst all ranks and de grees, these contributions of the lyric music will be welcomed, by all who can appreciate sweetness of melody, in preference to merely elaborateness of construction. The composer is W. Vincent Wallace, and the first-named especially, the words of which are by Anson G. Chester, is an exquisite ballad, and will be sure to become a general favourite. The words of the others are by Henry C. Watson, to whose poetry the composer has done ample justice, and we may confidently predict for them a very prominent place in popular favour. They are pecuharly appropriate to the present season, and not the least recommendation is, that they may easily be played by amateurs on the piano-forte. CHAMBERS'S EDINBI7RGH JOURNAL.—This popular periodical will close the "second series" with the year 1863. But the public will not lose the benefits which they have, for so many years, derived from the spirited efforts of the Messrs. Chambers. They commence, on the 7th of January, a new periodical, to be entitled, " Chambers's Journal of Popular Literature, Science, and Art." This will enable the rising ffeneration to commence a series of profitable and entertaining reading, for such, from the past efforts of Messrs. Chambers, we are sure the new periodical will afford.

CHRISTMAS-DAY ON SllNDAY.—Although the last oc currence of the kind took place in 1842—eleven years ago —yet the coincidence does often occur in briefer intervals —and must happen four times in twenty-eight years. Christmas-day was on a Sunday in 1831, 1836, 1842, and in this year. It will happen on a Sunday in 1859, 1864, 1870, 1881, 1887, 1892, and 1898. The intervals between the years follow the order of numbers 5,6, 11, 6. If it happen in leap-year, or the year succeeding leap-year, the interval will be six years; if on the year preceding leap year, the interval will be five years, but if, as in 1842, it happen two years before leap-year, the interval will be eleven years, as it now is, A FEW CLOVES added to ink will prevent its becoming mouldy, and impart an agreeable perfume.

PLVAIPTDDING.—The origin of mince-pies. and plum-pudding; objects of such absorbing interest to 'all of us, must not be forgotten in our sketch of Christmas customs. It would. seem that it was, in primitive tinsos,, a practice of the 'bakers to make presents to their custom era of little images, ins paste, just as in the present day the tallow-chandlers-present a few doll's candles to the cifiktres of their eintlisners. These presents were called yak &Highs or yule cakes, and were believed to have been originally designed to represent the infant Jesus. It was alio tile custom at Rome• to present boxes of sweetmeats to,. the fathers of filet liratiCian at Christmas. From thy,; it is said, come" the modern mince-pie and plum-pudkAing. The former was originally of a low or eoffin-shape s : and was intendmite‘ represent the manger wherein the Alai was laid. Plum pudding is our national dish—it represents us in the intagine,tion of foreigners, who believe fiat -we eat little else Chas " rost bif and plum-poudin." _ad yet, strange to my,. the his tory of this national disk. is, inrolved in the greatest ob scurity. Plum-pudding, Tint the Chinese empire-, is defi cient in historical evidence, Its dominiuxi over the tastes and imaginations Englishmen is astablished ; hitt whence came it? People vaguely imagine that our forefathers, and the- fathers of those filrefathers, knew the delights of Chr:eitmus pudding—that it graced the board beside the baroti of beef—that it was contem porary with mince-pie —that its origin must be sought in the.slim obscurity of the Tr.iskae ages.

A. - DOERING CHURCHES /Lip .11ousEs WITH 32ISLICTOE. —The custom of adorning: houses, .churches,„ &c.,, with mitiletoe,' holly, and other. winter shrubs and. trees, is perhaps of older date than any other Christmas observance, It-had its origin with the Druids who were the priests of the-ancient Britons long precious to the invasion of this aeuntry by the Romans, under-Julius Caisar. it was their wont, at a certain period of rthe year, to resort- to the arrests in which grew the- largest oak trees, followed by w great concourse of people• of, all degrees. There; with many ceremonies, they proceeded to cut downs gliantity of the branches of the miseltoe growing on. the oaks, which, having divided into small pieces, they distributed amongst the religious students- and votaries whet had ace companied them, and who ) considering these branches are so many emblems of goo& fortune, adorned theindwellings. with them. There was a sacredness attached to ,theeustona. which preserved its practite.for a long periostand.we find it mentioned in many of the old records. A peculiar. sanctity was attached totile.misletoe.— " Christmas, the ipyous period of the yean! , Now bright with holly all the temples strew, With laurel green, and sacred misletoe."' This Druidical custornappears to have surmiVed,theehockc attending the incursions, of foreign races, and the over throw of the old established religion ; and; Christianity, loth to wage war with, every ancient usage, consented. to retain this one as the-most innocent of them all, Indeed green boughs seem telave been almost universally looked upon as emblems of purity. Stowe, the. old English chronicler, relates, that not only the pariah church, public offices, and houses were adorned with holme, ivy,. bays,. and other greens of the- season, but that conduits and standards in the streets were-likewise garnished, He-tells that,, "in 1444, by a tempest of thunder and lightning towards the morning of Christmas Day, at the Leadenhall, in Corabill, a standard of trees, being set up in the midst of the. pave ment, fast in the ground, nailed full, of holme and ivy, for disport of Christmas, the pole was torn up and east down by the malignant spirit (as it was. thought), and the stones of the pavement all about were cast in the street and into diver houses, so that the people were sore aghast at the great tempest." From that time even auto the present, this customs, with the exception, of the adorning of the streets, hag remained in all its integrity, amongst high and low, rich and poor, and long may it be preserved to us and to our children • for we love the sight of th e green holly and its radiant i•ed berries, even as we love the memory of our childhood.—Family Friend. SERVANTGALISM" Ii AMERICA. -- Finally, a pretty, skilful girl of twenty-two did make up her mind, after hesitating and looking at her mother for a long time, expressing the fear that she wouldn't be able to satisfy a " foreign" lady, and promising to think about the matter, Persia Wheeler—so she was called—had never yet lived out herself; but her two older sisters were in Boston, one as cook, and the other as chambermaid. The last time they came home on a visit, they had worn the most beau. tiful dresses, and thrown poor Persia, in her shilling-calico Sunday dress, entirely into the shade! Susan, the cook, had shown her a card-ease of tortoise-shell, inlaid with ' mother-of-pearl, that she used to carry when she had her afternoon and went out, just as the young ladies did when they went out to make calls. It had only cost her the wages of two or three weeks. Poor Persia had neither money for buying nor giving away. When, therefore, Clotilde urged her kindly, and promised her a dollar and a half, that is, full city wages, a week, she could not resist any longer. "She only," she said, "wanted to get fixed a little first; the young man there," she added, pointing to Hubert, " might come for her with the carriage the day after to-morrow." Clotilde replied, with a smile, that if she could not find the way alone, and get her things over herself, she would send the boy for her on the day appointed. This was done. But Clotilde was quite alarmed, when Eli drove up with a gaily-dressed lady instead of a cook. It was Persis Wheeler in her best Sunday clothes, in which she hoped to make a better impression than in the Cinderella costume in which Mr. and Mrs. Hubert had surprised her the other day. She wore a white dress, and a string of blue glass beads around her throat, a blue silk mantilla, lined with yellow calico, and around her straw bonnet a wreath of artificial roses. Fortunately, she had brought along a working dress in her bandbox, and in this she soon presented herself to Clotilde ready for work. The latter soon saw that her mother had brought her up to it, and that a quick skilful girl had entered her service. Persia had soon prepared several palatable dishes. " Dinner'll be ready right away," she said to Clotilde. " You can just be setting the table. Or shall the coloured boy do it ?"—" He has to attend to the stable." replied her mistress, " and I do not like to employ him in the house. I expect this from you, Persis. You can easily move the dinner from the fire a little until you have set the table, and we are ready." " Very well," said the girl, " and I'll set the table for three ?" " For two only," Clo tilde directed, with a faint misgiving, and consequently not without embarrassment. " Only for two—lsn't Mr. Hubert going to dine at home ?" " Certainly, he and I are two." The girl's face lengthened. Clotilde, unpleasant as it was, thought it the best way to settle the matter at once. " Persia," she said kindly, "a person that cooks or does the waiting, can hardly eat at the same table with the gentleman or lady of the house. It would be entirely improper for her to leave her seat so often ; and kitchen-work and ashes prevent the dress from being as neat as desirable for persons who are only ac customed to finer work." The tears had come into Persia' eyes. She considered a while. " Very well," she said, " I don't care much about it, on the whole. Susan and Mary Ann can't do it either. I thought people weren't so proud in the country, but it's a Tact, you get dirty and sooty before you know it. After all, I wouldn't like to show myself to Mr. Hubert in this trim," she added, going to the looking-glass, and smoothing her hair, " fix it up after dinner." —The "HIGH STYLE" Ili ILLNESIL—Miss Cordelia used at one time to come to us, and tell us she had a " pain in her chest " so often that Ethelinda and I began to be uneasy, and questioned Mr. Turner to know if her mother had died of consumption ; and many a good pot of currant jelly have I given her, and only made her pain at the chest worse, for —would you belive it P—Miss Morton told her never to say she had got a stomach-ache, for that it as not proper to s a y so. I had heard it called by a wors iame still in my youth, and so had Ethelinda ; and we sat and wondered to ourselves how it was that some kinds of pain were genteel and others were not. I said that old families, like the Mortons, generally thought it showed good blood to have their complaints as high in the body as they could — brain-fevers and head-aches had a better sound, and did, perhaps, belong more to the aris tocracy.—Dickens's "Household Words." SHELL-CANEO PORTRAITS.—Few persons who go to Rome return without bringing with them some of the beautiful shell cameos which are produced there, and it has often been asked why it is that artistic talent has not been applied in this direction in England, considering that the shell out of which they are cut is as readily obtainable here as in Italy. " Cameo," we may remind the reader' was originally the designation of a peculiar sort of oynx, in which figures and representations of landscapes ap peared naturally. It has come to be applied to all gems or stones in which the object is worked in relievo, in oppo sition to " intaglio," in which the subject is indented. The ancients have left us most marvellous works of this kind, but the time they occupy, the increased value of artistic labour, and the consequent great cost of what can be ap mciated only by a few, have led to the disase of the art. The working of shell cameos is a very different matter, so far as regards the mechanical portion of it, and might be pursued with success, we should imagine, especially by ladies. PICACT/CAL APPLICATION.—A lay preacher, whose darksome daily labour brings light and warmth to our firesides, and whose Sabbath endeavours are directed to the enlightentiw of our heads and the warming;' of our hearts, had the worldly misfortune, no long time ago, to be com pelled to dispose' of a sorry old horse. T o s ell him in the ordinary way , would have been unproducti ve — no b o dy would have grrelf twenty shillings for the brute:;--so the owner, tempted by the love of lucre, made him the - subject of a lottery, awl,- to the scandal of many of his , adinirem r realised a rare price, by a profane raffle. On the itollowing Sunday, he was edifying his hearers with a discourse' on the Prodigal Son—ew whom he, bore very hard - fn• and when he had pictured him in all his wickedness , and worthlessness, he asked his cowegation how the potii= gate's father was to • disposeor so good-for-noon:1g- a wretch ?

ORIGINAL CORRESPONDENCE. THE REV. E. GIRDLESTONE AND THE NATIONAL SOCIETY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL MUMMWM SlR,—Can you oblige me by finding space for a letter, which closes my correspondence with the Rev. Edward Girdlestone (as given in your paper of the 29th ultimo) ? Your obedient servant, FREDERICK S. WARREN. Sanctuary, Westminster, Dec. 215t,•1853. REV. Sia,—The distinction which you seek to establish in your letter to me of the 21st of November, between persons and practices, is quite untenable. A person can not be engaged in dishonest practices and remain an honest man ; as little can a man, day by day, and week by week, join and take part in " Romish mummeries " with out himself being a " mummer." You have taken on yourself, both in speaking and writing, rudely to attack and censure the way in which other Christians think fit to praise their Maker, and have called the sacred services of St. Mark's College Chapel, a " Romish Mummery." I w ould that even now you might consider and retract the uncharitable words, With more consistency might you then, in your appointed place, stand up on our approaching Christmas festival, and preach " Peace on earth, goodwill to men ;" but if not, at least be bold, and do not shrink from the full responsibility of your words. Secondly,—l maintain that the simple statement of the , Society's income never having exceeded £9,000 or £lO,OOO appears, in one shape or another, in almost every speech you have made. I go to the acknowledged report of the meeting at Willis's-rooms, fik May lagt, and find you saying,—" Allet this brings me, any lord, (you are addressing the chair man) naturally to enquire why the income of the National, Society has been stopped at so paltry a sum as £10,000; why the charity of the whole Church of England in the stream of education is: limited to a sum which we find a common amount of income even amongst the country gentlemen of England" You have, in that one sentence to depreciate and make light of the efforts of the . National Society—represented one of its funds as the whore - income,. said been guilty of a more palpable fallacy still ; in alluding to such income as the sole charity of the Churcii , itr the - matter of education. And once again, in your. letter to-mei you tvisote from the Society's last report an item of £10,764, received up to May fast, on account of the present Queen's- fetter fund, and exciaim,—" See what watitt of confidenm—£lo,ooo instead of the usual £27,000:' Now, you might easily have known that the £lO,OOO rope esented bat tl e. begin riing nithe collection, which alreadk dotiblesiliat mount, and is - not yet complete. How will& you: seek to. lead your'readers' to believe that the £lb,ooo would roin. the teat' bulk le the collection ? Thirdly,—You brought a deliberaevhargeof "Yrabday etleket-playing" against St. Mark's.- On the'word of the Collegeauthorfties, I gave a distinct &al to youreliagge, and proved, moreover, that even the antniymouS pamphlet tbWhich•you referred me as your suaree of informal - CIA. did not so mttelk•as mention " cricket." You now bring cliarge'of "Suntray leap-frog and othersithilar pastimesr witch you'say may fairly be supposed to-"'include cricket.'

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER LI1ilf:11W AUSTRALIA. TtrE following iewtlike-eopir Sir private_ letter;,raseistly rcteived frau' a hi g hly reape ct~~ase • gentleman in tfro.eaYiry: Witth is well connected in, this town :---- this morning._ received a letter from you,. and: three etlattrafrom ---,being the only enesl have had sinte.l arrived in, the colony; and althbughl have sent several home, yet it appears that none have tome to , hand, which is no,wonder, in the present stata-of the colonial post-office, aid of the whole country. wilAitherefore, repeat all I have said in thn-others, or as much as-I can recollect. I .cauneout in the -Dalhousie, on e,of; WO passengers. We hale. good patage -of 84 - days;': the gout circle mode:. of, sailing, Jim - mg:sighted no,, land between Plymouth, and Port The • hardkbips. of the passage werensany, but, being strong and healthy, I got through them,ppetty well, and . have since gentethrier.li so many worse;, that I look back with a smite ow what I once thought dreadful On my arrival at Melbaurne-, I found nothing one is led to aspect by the =counts, one gets at homer. Thousands were , starving in thal town,, who were too proud or too lazy %to work. : Surveyens,.elerks, shopmen, steerneed ; and l there was •no ,epening except for a labouring man or mechanic c so I put my pack on my back,_ and with my funds,—reduesto 26&,—started to the " ih,frginFs." How much is comprhended.in that word : hardships in the ex treme, bad livtogi.and, in 999 cases out of 1000, bad luck ! lit being supposed; that oat of 70,000 diggera there at once, 40,000 don't getlair wages, 20,000 pretty good,. an d 10,000 ;high. Out ot - the latter there are very fow who get for :tunes, getting z ired of working up to tly„iu middle in mud ;from daylight till dark, and living on, mutton, dam per, and straw green tea, without mid ; butter, or any ,thing that atihoine are thought necessaries. I came back 'to Melbourne, having been pretty lucky.: it was all a lot tell', Melbourne is a vast sink of viceao4 misery. Rob beries committed in the open day, and, people walking in the streette and serving out goods in,their shops, armed to ,the teeth,— men enter gold-buyars!, stores, in the mid dle of the.day, clap a pistol to his head,, and rifle his shop, tie and gag- him, and walk away intseenrity ! Bad as are :the descriptions of California, the- reality here is a great deal worsse or rather was, as things are now getting !moresettled, In Melbourne I didmany things which, at • home,,would be thought low ; but here-you had better put your pride in your pocket, or threw, it away. I bought a horse. and cart, and fetched woodiandwater, and worked a whale-boat in the bay, and thsn,a,lighter on the river, and laughed in my sleeve as I sa.w. - others,starvingirom pride, (as, there is plenty of work for, those who will do it,>, whilst I pocketed from £lB t0,£59,a, week ; amongst others, I saw poor stone-breaking on.the new roads. I then. went into the mounted police, till I learnt to be a good; horseman, and then bade. Melbourne adieu, as although there is plenty of money ta,be made, yet living is bad and dear, £5 a week for miserableheard and lodging, andiWs a night for horse keep. faced the bush, went on a cattle, station for trifling wageseand learnt the routine, the-chief part of which is hard eiding and cracking the stock.whiN which has a lash 18 feet long, and a handle only 18dnehes, and has power to cull pieces out of cattle, The. life is dangerous, but all the• more exciting when lb fait, at the business. I started cattle-driving on the roads to market ; a hard life, sleeping-out nights together, with uncovering but the sky ; sad now in winter the rain falls for weeks together. My ehief'route is from the Western districts to Melbourne, a distance of three or four hundred; mike ; and as the cattle travel only fifteen miles, (having to be kept fat to the inarket,). the journey down occupies some time ; but you come• up at your own pace ; the wages are from £5 to £6 a week ; but I hope two years will put me on my own bottom, and then the road to fortune is open to me ; for this is a country where they are made and lost in a day. Unless one has a trade, there is no opening in the country but for the young and able-bodied, and the more of them that come the better—provided they bring stout hearts with them, otherwise they had better stay at home. If, like me, they take a decisive step, and go through without flinching, they may all hope to get enough while young to live comfortable ever afterwards. A man here elitist hold his own in many cases by his own strength, and need show no mercy, as he will get none. Pride is worse than useless, and money worse than useless; for unless he can bringhundreds.—he had better bring none. £lO is plenty. Depend upon it, this is the true rule : all books on the colony are trash. Without ex ception they paint the bright side, but never the darker and more frequent one. What would a dwawing-room, bred booby think of my appearance, I wonder. My dress is a cabbage tree hat, long boots and breeches, and a blue shirt. On my saddle are strapped a quart pot and pannikin, my blankets, and a bag containing a few pounds of flour, and a little tea and sugar. With these I can travel for days without thanking any one. Not forgetting the stock-whip, without which I might move, but the cattle would not. My horse would be cheap in Loudon at £6O; and I have three others of equal value, all my own. Now for the country ; it is magnificent. Not far from where I am writing this letter, there is a station, in the Grampians which, gee 5,000 feet above the plain at the back of the hut. IF front runs a rapid river, which in summer is only a chain of muddy water-holes, but at this season of the year, a few miles further down, projects a body of water, 50 yards wide, over a perpendicular height of 175 feet, and supposed to be the finest falls in the world, Niagara only excepted. You can pass right under the falls at the expense of a wet coat, when the river is impassable by the floods. It is, indeed, a country of anoma lies : the flowers are beautiful, without scent; the birds are feathered with every colour of the rainbow, but have no song, and the trees are evergreen, but shed their bark, whilst the stones of the cherries grow outside the fruit. Horses fed only on grass have immense power of enduring fatigue, 60 miles being a common day's journey. I have myself ridden one horse 55 miles in four hours, without a rest, and on one occasion the same horse 140 miles between sunrise and sunset, Nothing in England could come up to this. `ge harbour of Port Philip is one of the finest in the world : all the fleets of Europe might ride there with ease and safety ; and the entrance being high and narrow, and the passage being full of dangerous shoals, a few heavy guns would make it impassable. There is not a landing place for miles, and few good harbours in the colony. I wish I had had your pistols. I had to give £2O for a Colt's revolver. One is not safe without arms. I am writing this in a great hurry, as I have not often the chance of post-offices. What would be said at home to £4OO for a ton of flour, weighing 4,000 lbs ? Such was the price at the diggings last winter ; but then the carriage was high in proportion, being £l6O per ton for 86 miles. For professions there is no hope here. I have seen barristers, officers, and gentlemen of every description glad to get work at 10s. a day as labourers on the roads. " I expect (D.V.) to be able to come home for a few months in another year or so. Mechanics' wages average from £1 to £2 a day, and labourers' from 10s. to 15s. per day; but, then, everything is in propertion. Meat the same price as at home, and almost everything else dearer, so the wages are not really as much as they look." ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE. PEEPP.I7IMENTS AND APPOINTMENTS. Rev. J.
