Vottrp. THE THIRTY REQUISITES Thirty points of perfection each judge understands, The standard of feminine beauty demands ; Three white—and without further prelude we know That the skin, hands, and teeth, should be pearly as snow ; Three black—and our standard departure forbids From dark eyes, darksome tresses, and darkly-fringed lids; Three red—and the lover of comeliness seeks For the hue of the rose in the lips, nails, and cheeks ; Three long—and of this you, no doubt, are aware, Long the body should be, long the hands, long the hair; Three short—and herein nicest beauty appears, Feet short as a fairjis, short teeth, and short ears ; Three large—and rOuember , this rule as to size, Embraces the shoulders, the forehead, the eyes ; Three narrow—a maxim to every man's taste, Circumference small in mouth, ancle, and waist ; Three round—and in this I see infinite charms— Rounded fulness apparent in leg, hip, and arms ; Three fine, and can aught the enchantment eclipse Of fine tapering fingers, fine tresses, fine lips ? Three small—and my thirty essentials are told, Small head, nose, and bosom compact in its mould. Now the dame who comprises attractions like these Will need not the cestus of Venus to please ; While he who has met with an union so rare, Has had better luck than has fall'n to nay share. CONTEMPORARY PRESS SIR ROBERT PEEL AND THE CHURCH. (From the Cork Constitution.) There is, in a forthcoming pamphlet by the Bishop of Exeter, a letter which reflects high honour on Sir . Robert Peel. It is in confidential communications of this kind, if anywhere, we may expect to get at the motives which actuate the statesman ; and when Sir Robert declares, as he does in his correspondence with the bishop, that his object is " to promote the true in terests of the Church of England" —to give real sta bility to the church in its spiritual character," and that rather than consent to anything which he believed " prejudicial to the great and sacred object" for which it was established, he would " most willingly return to private life, and make the very, very small sacrifice of office"—few, we are sure, will doubt that when Sir Robert thus speaks, he speaks in sincerity and sober- ness the sentiments of an ardent, an enlightened, and a disinterested friend. It is not by making the church subservient to purposes of policy that we consult either its own safety or the people's welfare. Purposes of policy, and of the best policy too, it undoubtedly pro motes, but if it rested here it would fall far short of the end of its institution. That end we must endea- your honestly to work out, and it is the duty of each of us to aid in rendering the means and the machinery of the church as available and as effective as we can. We know not how this can better he attempted than on the plan and in the spirit recommended by Sir Ro bert Peel. It is the fashion to abuse Sir Robert. He is too cold for some—too tardy for others—too unconciliating for all ; and he is lectured as liberally as though he had nothing to do but bend his ear to the reproofs so au thoritatively addressed to him. Time after time during the—we may now call it past session—would they have had him wrest the reins of government from Lord Melbourne, without troubling themselves to ask whose were the hands they would next be held by. Every rational man felt that the court was not prepared for a conservative administration, and that had Sir Robert taken the course on which he was so arrogantly urged, it would have but enabled the premier to fix his foot more firmly in the palace of Victoria.• It is not by im patience that the interests of a nation are advanced ; and the censors of Sir Robert have yet to learn that there is oftentimes wisdom in knowing.how to wait Errors Sir Robert may have committed, and we 1 lieve has ; but to which of us is it given to be always right ? It is easy, very easy to find fault; but have those who censure, laboured with the same diligence to support? Have not tongues been busy while hands were idle ? Has not " Register, register !" been on many a lip, while not a finger was moved to give it practical effect ? If we would take away the reproach that cleaves to us—if we would place our party in the position in which it ought to stand—if we would see Sir Robert at the head of the councils of his country, and that country delivered from the bonds by which she is held in thrall, we must bestir ourselves more fit tingly. Never was there a period when exertion was more called for than at present. If conservatives hold together, they can save the empire from dismember ment. " Separation," though now the imprudent out burst of a priest, will be by and by the adopted watch word of a people; and so much more potent will it prove than the mercenary and mongrel menace of O'Connell, that nothing but an united and a deter mined stand will be able to resist it. This, however, leads us away from the object with which we started, and which was to draw attention to the following letter, written nearly six years ago by Sir Robert Peel. The Bishop of Exeter has now, with Sir Robert's permis sion, given it to the 'public in a pamphlet which was occasioned by some observations made in one of the debates on the ecclesiastical duties and revenues bill. (Most Private.)_ " Whitehall, Dec. 22, 1834. "My dear Bishop of Exeter—l felt assured that i did not go beyond the limits to which you were prepared to advance on the questions of the Church Reform (I include in those terms the various pending subjects for discussion,) in the ad dress which I thought it advisable to issue. I solemnly de clare my main object is to promote the true interests of the Church of England. I will most willingly return to private life, and make the very, very small sacrifice of office, rather than consent to anything which I conscientiously believe to be prejudicial to the great and sacred objects for which the Church was established; but my earnest advice is that the Church should avail itself of this, possibly the last, opportu nity of aiding its true friends in the cause of judicious Re form, by enabling us to go all the lengths we can go with per fect safety, and to make, if possible, a satisfactory and final settlement. " The haste in which I am writing, and the imperfect man ner in which, I have no doubt, I am expressing myself, will account to you for my omitting now to enter on the much greater question of Church Reform. Here again I say, let us do all that we can do consistently with our own conscientious conviction that we are making no concession hurtful to the true interests of religion. " I should be most happy to hear from you on this great point, to which I am confident your attention must have been anxiously directed. I need hardly assure you that all mere political considerations—all views of Church preferment, as being subservient to party interests—are as nothing in my mind compared with the great object of giving real stability to the Church in its spiritual character: and that I believe enlarged political interests will be best promoted by strengthen ing the hold of the Church of England upon the love and veneration of the community.—Believe me. my dear Bishop, most faithfully yours, _ _ " R. PEEL." " Whatever you write to me I will receive in the strictest confidence, until I have your permission to consider it other- " The Lord Bishop of Exeter." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE MANCHESTER EVE; ! UNG The attendance this morning was tolerably good', but *ere were no important changes in the St. Leger battings. La.unce lot was certainly a better favourite than on Tuesday ; 5 to 2 in one or two instances was obtained, then 2 to 1 became the top , offer. 8 and 9to 1 against Crucifix was laid. Galen had no friends. Broadwath would have been backed at 14 to 1- 12 to 1 was offered. Viceroy (thought by some of the cog noscenti to be " gone" last night, when 1000 to 20 was laid) came again, and 200 to 5, 500 to 15, and other bets were accepted. Maroon is at 100 to 8 offered. Dr. Caius, 25 to 1 offered—take 28. Gibraltar's friends declined accepting 8 to 1 ; a fraction beyond would have been taken. There ap peared a great desire to back Launcelot, and to take 7 to 4 that two beat the field. THE DONCASTER CUP.—No betting on either Hetman Platoff or Lanercost to-day. 7 to 1 would have been taken on Charles XII., and 10 to 1 on St. Francis. TATTERSALL'S.-THURSDAY The St. Leger betting exhibited no improvement in extent, and very little in character. We need only state that 3to 1 was taken eagerly about Launcelot, and that a marked anxiety to back Gibraltar caused the offers against him to fall a point, no one venturing to exceed 7tol at the close. 10 to 1 was laid against Crucifix to a small amount, being an advance on Monday's odds. Maroon was on the decline ; ditto Galen, against whom •Broadwath was backed, with a call of 6 to 5 ; his actual price did not transpire. The bets against Theon and St. Andrew are in accordance with the last quotations from Wolverhampton. Closing prices . THE ST.

THE CORN LAWS AND FACTORY SLAVERY (From the Morning Herold.) The state of the crops throughout England is, at this moment, an object of the deeeest interest. Accounts differ widely as to the probable results of the harvest; some cal culators anticipating superabundant crops, others proclaiming that the fields, however rich they may appear to be, will yield us less than an average supply. The corn jobbers are, of course, busy. They talk loudly about blight, and mil dew; and occupy themselves incessantly in arranging fictitious sales of wheat, in order to raise the averages, and liberate all the bonded wheat without payment of more than a shilling duty. In proof of their industry in this respect, it may be stated, that in recent returns from Mark-lane, 15,000 qrs. of wheat were " set down," as having been sold at 80s. a qr.— the price secured by the farmer for his very best wheat being notoriously not higher than 725. The truth is, that amongst the manifold hardships to which the English corn-grower is subjected, not the least vexatious is the mode in which the averages are taken. The returns are supplied by corn-jobbers, not by corn-growers— are supplied by men who have a perpetual interest in ex aggerating the apparent price of British wheat, and who, by a system of fictitious sales, have it in their power, to a great extent, to exhibit, at critical periods, the results that best suit their interests. The same parcel of wheat is not noire quently sold a dozen times in one day, without ever changing hands. The price of bread gets, consequently, higher and higher—while the duty on foreign wheat lessens in the same proportion. The magical average of 735. is at length attained. The speculator in foreign corn realises immense sums—while the consumer of bread is cheated in the price of his loaf, and the English farmer of his honest profits. The returns of corn sold, and of the prices at which it is sold, ought undoubtedly to he supplied by the farmers who grow the wheat, and not by jobbers, whose interests are in variably opposed to the interests both of the English con sumer and of the English produce of wheat. The corn-laws are charged as the cause why wheat in Eng land is dear—while the corn-laws, notoriously, are the sole cause, why the larger portion of the British soil is kept in I cultivation. Throw the poorer lands of this country out of cultivation, and—despite all the promises of cheap bread — bread must, in the nature of things, become dearer than it is at present, inasmuch as the foreign corn grower, and the English corn jobber, would then he invested with the privi lege of setting what price might seem good to them on the first necessity of life ! The corn-laws, again, are charged as the cause of nearly all the evils which press on the labouring poor of England— are charged, specifically, amongst other things, as the cause of factory slavery, A provincial free-trade paper, now before us, discourses in the following strain, in reference to Lord Ashley's recent motion : " To attempt to devise a remedy for such a state of things wold be a mere waste of time. To attempt to regulate by act of parliament the time when the children shall work—the number of hours which they shall be allowed for rest and amusement—the amount and quality of the education which they shall receive, would be only temporising with a symp tom, while the cause of the disease remained untouched. The employment of their children is forced upon parents by the struggle required for the maintenance of a family in this country, where food is kept at the highest possible price, and labour receives the lowest possible remuneration, and the inquiry which Lord Ashley prays for will, if properly con aucted, show our present bread tax as the cause of this de structive employment of the rising generation. The class of legislators composing the House of Commons refused to per mit any inquiry into the effects of the corn-laws, because they knew that such an exposure would be made as would render it impossible for them longer to retain their mono poly ; but when one branch of the same subject is submitted to them under the specious names of charity and humanity, they pretend to be horrified at the facts adduced, and are eager that an inquiry should take place. We repeat that this infant slavery, for it is nothing better, is only a symp tom of the deep-rooted disease under which the labouring classes of this country are now labouring, and that no means can ever be adopted to put a stop to it, so long as our mono polists prevent labour finding those markets wherein it will meet with adequate reward. It is the difficulty of obtaining food which compels the labouring classes to enslave the minds and bodies of their children, at that tender age when the utmost care is required to lay the foundation for future moral and physical health, thereby sowing the seeds from which springs a future unhealthy, vicious, demoralised ge neration. " It might be well, if the inditer of these sentences, before again venturing to connect together the corn-laws and factory slavery, as cause and effect, would answer the following questions. How happens it, that in Naples, in Tyrol, and in Belgium—in every continental state, in short, .in which the factory system prevails—the amount of daily labour is, despite the cheap bread of the Continent, more severe than in England ? In a speech on this question, last year, the . pharisaical Mr. Baines lam en t e d muc h the interference o f government with the factory owners of this country. Amongst the hardships to which English mill-owners are subjected, Mr. Baines enumerated these—that they pay 30 per cent. more for the bread which their labourers consume, while they are not permitted by law to extract so much by at least 20 per cent. out of their labourers, in the shape of toil. The amount of factory labour in the cheap bread countries is, on the admission of Mr. Baines himself, greater by two or three hours a-day than in England. How happens it, ye - t again, that if the corn-laws be the cause of factory slavery in Lngland, the horrors of the fac tory system do not disappear when English corn approaches to the continental level of price? Between the years 1833 and 1837, English wheat was scarcely dearer than continen tal ; yet, during these very years, the factory system ex tended itself prodigiously, without being divested of any of its atrocities ! A NAVAL VETERAN THE WESLEYAN METHODISTS (From the Newcastle Journal.) The Wesleyan Conference in Newcastle-upon-Tyne will this week terminate its sittings, and a brief adver tence.to the position, whi c h thi s distinguished body occupies in the Christian world, and the influence it has exercised, as an instrument of Divine Providence for the human race, may not he inappropriate. A cen tury has now passed away since the reverend founder of this religious community first visited the colliery districts of Northumberland and Durham, and there are many persons still living who remember his earnest exhortations, fervent prayers, and meek and affection ate admonitions. To these individuals the proceedings ,that we have recorded of the venerable body which sprung into existence under his own ministration will have possessed a peculiar and exciting interest. Mighty events from small beginnings rise, and could the Reverend John Wesley now behold the goodly stock that has arisen up from the seed scattered during the period of his earthly labours, since nurtured by the influence of Heaven, and protected during the storms and tempests that have agitated Christian communi ties, and impregnated the moral atmosphere with the efluvia of Socialism, Unitarianism, and Infidelity, what would be his feelings ? A Christian mind may conceive the emotion created by such a sight, but to describe it were impossible. As a religious body, the Wesleyan Methodists have always consid ere d themselves as separated from the dissenters. They hold the same doctrines of religious faith as the Church of England, and differ only in some of the minor forms of public worship ; and they have ever shewn a willingness to co-operate with the members of the establishment in promoting measures of improvement, and in defending the interests of re ligion from the assaults of modern liberalism. The influence exercised by the Wesleyan Methodists is powerful and extensive, not only in this country, but throughout the world. Their missionary labours have been herculean, and it is worthy of commendation that in no instance have the missionaries mixed themselves up in local disputes, or placed themselves in opposition in civil matters to the legally constituted authorities. So much cannot he said of Baptists, Independents, and other bodies of dissenters. _ _ The resources of the Wesleyan Methodists are im mense, and the fact that upwards of three hundred thousand pounds have been subscribed as a centenary oblation by the various congregations will be recorded by the Christian historian in after ages, as an example for the imitation of posterity. As hoary time proceeds in his unvarying course, may he find the same spirit that now animates the Wes leyan community sinking deeper and spreading wider throughout the land ; and so long as the Christian world shall be divided by sectarian differences, may that same spirit come in aid, as it now does, of the Episcopal Church, as bylaw established. May the one emulate the other in the good work of human ame lioration, opposing an impenetrable barrier against the progress of Popery on the one hand, and the demo ralizing effect of political dissent upon the other. May He, with whom a thousand years is but as yesterday, bless and prosper his servants, the reverend dignitaries of our holy Church, and all who, with them, labour to promote peace and good will among men ! TRIBUTE OF RESPECT TO A LADY.—The inhabitants of the township of Blackley have lately presented a silver salver, weighing 135 oz. to Miss Alsop, of Litchfield-hall, as a mark of their respect, and an acknowledgment of her great bene ♦olence and unceasing kindness to the poor of that township. In the centre is engraved the following inscription :—" Pre sented by the inhabitants of Blackley to Miss Alsop, of Litch field-hall, as a mark of their grateful sense of her Christian benevolence to the poor of Blackley, evinced especially in the erection and endowment of a school for their benefit. 1840." —Manchester Guardian. Died at Stoke, Mr. William Doyle, late a superan nuated boatswain of her Majesty's navy, aged eighty-four. This venerable man was the last, we believe, who sailed round the world with Captain Cook. He entered the navy when very young, and in 1776 sailed from this port with the redoubted navigator, in the Resolution, attended by Captain Clerke in the Discovery, and was coxswain of the boat at Owhyee, Sandwich Islands, when Captain Cook was killed, on February 14, 1776, and has often detailed, with peculiar vividness to his attentive auditors, that lamentable affray with the natives. He was boatswain of the Blanche, in that des perate fight with the Pique, in the West Indies, when her gallant commander, Capt. Faulkner, lost his life, and his brave first lieutenant, now Admiral Watkins, swam with his sword in his mouth to board the enemy. He also served in the Atlas, in which ship he lost the sight of his right eye, and after wards in the Magnificent, were the other was injured. He was wrecked in the Crocodile, and by his exertions saved the lives of several persons at Salcombe Sands, where he was eight hours in the water, and succeeded in saving the lives of Lady Berkeley and her three children. He subsequently served in the Bienfaisant, and was pensioned from that ship in 1800 on account of his blindness. After using every effort to regain his sight, he was advised to try the air of the west. He accordingly came to this place, and remained till the time of his death. He was a man gifted with extensive powers of comprehension in the mathematics, and his extraordinary qualities have been put often to the test by more than one experienced naval officer. He was boatswain in the ship which took the celebrated scholar, Sir W. Jones, to India, in 1783, by whom the deceased was taken much notice of. Sir William discovered that Doyle was superior in knowledge to his compeers, and to this great man he was indebted for his knowledge in the mathematics. His person was particularly known to every one in the neighbourhood in which he lived, and his intelligence and effusions of humour have thousands of times served to amuse his gossiping neighbours. The de ceased's life was one of extraordinary adventure. On one occasion, while with Capt. Cook, he accompanied a party on shore, but on returning to the ship Doyle was gone, and his shipmates, after every possible search, gave Um up as lost, and there was every reason to fear, from the habits of the natives, that lie had been murdered, probably roasted alive ; some time after, however, Doyle was seen on the beach, and on bis being brought off to the ship he displayed all the ap pearance of a native chief. Having strolled from his com panions, he fell into the hands of the natives, and was taken off, but fortunately finding favour in the eyes of one of the daughters of the chief, his life was spared. lie was tattooed as one of the " Royal Family," and lived happily and com fortably enough for some days, when he had the satisfaction of seeing three prisoners taken and roasted for a feast. Thi s was sufficient to show Doyle that his matrimonial elysium might not be very lasting, and he contrived to make his es cape. This served him on another occasion. While on a and determined, b e i ng a goo d sw immer, to swim off to his ship, foreign station, orders to return to the ship were too fre quently disobeyed, and the discipline on this point was con szaseinntnly:dreramwanin'e'dtanunt. o p re o t y o le o a a t d e f u o n r fo therunfortunately, last nat boat, e lo commanded by Captain Holloway; but, by some mishap, he mistook his ship, and got on board the Pegasus, then com manded by his late Majesty. Doyle was ordered to be flog ged ; but all hands were so surprised at the ornamented na ture of his person, that he was turned ashore. The next morning an explanation was given, and his royal highness was ever afterwards a friend to deceased. Doyle was severely wounded on several occasions, but his nearest escape was in a fraca, on shore. The ship to which he belonged arrived at the time of a revel at Stoke, and, accompanied by two of the mates, they r esorted to this place of general amusement. Wl * n here, their attention was attracted by one of the Pri mitive Methodists, who were about this time first making progress in the west, and who was charitably offering re demption to all, " not even," said the preacher, " excepting the boatswain of a man-of-war." Whether this was person ally applied or not, deceased did not stay to inquire, but, jumping upon the platform on which.s tthneepsriegancahle for r wasa generalplaced, knocked the orator down. This NN a u proar, and the deceased received two severe wounds in the head.—Devonpori Telegraph. On Wednesday all the in terior fittin g s of the Temple Church were sold by private contract; the elaborately carv e d pu l p i t, the magnificent organ screen , a nd the g rand alter - piece, each and all of which had for years been the admiration of visitor s , were said to be purchased at the large price of 1200 guineas, to be placed in the Christian church, now erecting, at Jeru salem, the original Temple Church having been built after a model of the Holy Church, by the Knights Templars, on their return from their crusade against the Infidels.—Standard. POLITICAL CHARACTERS (From the Oxford Herald.) LORD DURHAM. The haughty Lambton next advane'd, Of all his race the valiant'st, Durham the great, renown'd in song, Like Herc'les for repair of wrong. He rais'd the law, and fortify'd The weak against the strongest side ; Part friend he was to reformation, Until 'twas worn quite out of fashion. Neat rectifier of every law, And would make three to cure one flaw. Learned he was, and could take note, Transcribe, collect, translate and quote ; But spouting was his chiefest talent, Or argument, in which, being valiant, He used to lay about and stickle, Like ram or bull at conventicle. There is something almost repulsive in placing the name of one over whom the grave is about to close in the list of " Po litical Characters." It seems nearly a mockery to call a piece of cold sodden clay a " Political Character"—to apply such a term to what will soon be food for the worms, to what will ere long be rotting in the sepulchre. And this is the case on account of the wide contrast between the stirring bustle and exciting activity of political life and the painful, the solemn, the awful stillness of the tomb. How tremen dous the difference between the one and the other ! how vast the gulf by which they are separated ! On all occasions death is a fearful visitant ; but there seems something pecu liarly awful when he makes his presence in the chamber of the senate. It is indeed melancholy to see the grim monster snatching the tradesman from his occupation, the merchant from his commerce, the scholar from his books, or the divine from his flock ; and it is perhaps more melancholy still to see him laying waste the palace of the Monarch or the mansion of the Peer; but the great lesson that he teaches appears to strike the mind with peculiar force when the STATESMAN falls before his devastating scythe. Oh ! it is most mortify ing to the pride of humar. nature to behold a man in whose hands were placed the destinies of a great and mighty king dom—to see him who could raise up one nation and throw down another—him wbo, by a nod of his bead or the scratch of his pen, could plunge empires into all the horrors of war, or secure to them all the blessings of peace ; it is most mor tifying, we say, to the pride of human nature to see such a man obliged to shuffle off his mortal coil, and to become but as the dust of the earth. But as God has willed it, so It must be ; and perhaps the statesman has no reason to repine at what is the common lot of every creature. Glad should we have been had we been able to speak of Lord Durham as a living " Political Character," but it has pleased Him in whose hands are the issues of life and death to call him hence. Disapproving as we do of almost every act of Lord Durham's political career, and detesting most thoroughly the political creed that he professed, we should, now that he is in his grave, have much preferred to have passed his name in silence, but this cannot be done with propriety, on account of the prominent position he occupied in the public eye. Being then under the nece sity of saying something of him, we shall endeavour to speak of him with as much of charitableness and kindly feeling as possible. To war with the dead would be cowardly and disreputable. It is the misfortune of almost every man of rank or wealth, but especially of official station, to be surrounded by a set of interested flatterers—men who, for their own mercenary ends, will laud their pretended idol to the skies. No man, perhaps, was more completely hemmed in by gang of such worthless sycophants than Lord Durham, and no man ever suffered himself to be so readily duped by people of that class. Vanity was one of poor Lord Durham's greatest failings, and the set with which he allowed himself to be mixed up took care to fool that vanity to the top of its bent. By dint of the grossest adulation they succeeded in iden tifying themselves with his lordship, and it is but fair to suppose that many of his most mischievous acts were owing to their suggestions. Although his intellect was of the commonest order, Lord Durham was led to believe that he was capable of great things ; and notwithstanding failure after failure of the most lamentable kind was the result of his best efforts, he still remained unconvinced that he was not destined for one of England's greatest statesmen. This belief, encouraged as it was by his own interested clique, made him meddle with matters which he could neither master nor understand ; and, in spite of the many morti fications which he had to encounter when his failures and mistakes became apparent, he remained blind to his own deficiencies' Every man, in whatever sphere, can commit mischief, though few can do good ; and perhaps this truth cannot be more strikingly illustrated than by the a cases of many public men, amongst others by that of Loru Durham. Although he was a powerless and in fact dangerous friend, he had still enough influence to be able to commit much mis chief : nor did he fail to avail himself of his talents for evil. At times he was a sad thorn in the side of the Whigs. Dis trusted and disliked as a friend, he was dreaded and hated as an enemy. The Whigs feared the man, and crouched before him ; and when his anger was roused they to appease it did homage to his vanity. This it was that led to his appoint ment as Special Ambassador to St. Petersburgh, and as Go vernor-General of Canada. He was sent on both missions merely to be put out of the way ; but as they enabled him to make great show and parade, the swelling vanity of the man was satisfied. His conduct at St. Petersburgh and his ex ploits in Canada proved how little he was fitted to fill any station of national importance. In both offices, being vested with " a little brief authority," "he played such fantastic tricks before high heaven as made the angels weep." In his mission to St. Petersburgh he was flattered and cajoled, and eventually duped; and in his mission to Canada he plunged the country into rebellion, and then basely deserted his post in a fit of petty vexation. In this he would most assuredly have been impeached had the House of Commons not hap pened to have been elected after the passing of the Reform Bill. Yet for all this Lord Durham's adulators could gravely tell the world that he was a great statesman and a sincere pa triot ! Oh ! shame. Professedly Lord Durham was a Radical of the most ultra description, really he was a despot of the first water. The following lines may be applied to him with propriety : When nobles Look'd cold on him, he turn'd, with ready shift, To base-born citizens, and gain'd their voices ; With feign'd regard for what they term their rights, Suck'd in the breath of popular applause, Even while he loath'd the applauders —any thing That offer'd food to the o'er bloated pride, Which craved the more for feeding.' As a speaker Lord D ur h am was pleasing; he could talk with ease and facility, and he delivered his sentiments in tolerably agreeable language. He was, however, not an orator, neither was he considered a very awkward opponent in argument. When he was in the cabinet he was very much disliked, on account of his imperious, dictatorial demeanour. Perhaps no man in the kingdom was cursed with a worse tem per. _ _ Lord Durham was always ailing, though he - was a fine, gentleman!! looking man. His features were small and regular, perhaps they might be considered a little effeminate ; his hair was coal black ; his complexion, according to Can ning, was " rather yellow, rather yellow." Having said thus much we will leave the once proud and haughty head of the house of Lambton. Poor man! He has gone in the bloom of his days, from the bosom of a be loved and affectionate family to " that bourne whence there is no return." May God's Peace be with him. THE PENAL SETTLEMENTS, Macquarie Harbour was formed at an early period after the colonization of Van Diemen's Land, and continued to be a place of punishment until 1831 or 1832. Thither were sent such felons as were reconvicted in the colony, or such as the governor might deem deserving of being sent there without undergoing a trial. To these, again, are to be added native born colonists and free emigrants, found guilty of crime within the settled portions of Tasmania. Notwithstanding the sea of jungle which barred a passage to the main land, attempts at escape were frequent. One of the earliest and most horrible in its results was that of Pearse. This man, with seven others, in 1822 or 1823, resolved to encounter every hazard. Having possessed themselves of a couple of boats, with a small portion of provision, equal to a week's consumption at the rate of two ounces a day per man, they were successful in flying the settlement. Their scanty stores exhausted, it appears they quitted the boats, relanding within sight of Macquarie Harbour. They then lived for eight or nine days on the tops of tea-tree, which they boiled in tin pots to extract the juice. Having entered the tre mendous barrier of jungle, where nothing capable of sustaining life was to be found, and the propriety of casting lots having been discussed, three of the party separated privately from the rest, two of whom it is said regained the settlement, where they shortly after died, the third perishing ou his re turn. The party, now reduced to five, lived for two or three days on wild berries and their kangaroo-skin jackets, which they roasted. At length they reached the Gordon river, which they swam across, but their difficulties and privations were as great as ever. Th e remorse l ess l a b yr i nt h seeme d interminable, for, like birds within the net, they found them selves closed within its fatal meshes. Lamed, exhausted, famished, they struggled vainly on—every step but added to their despair. Frenzy possessed their hearts. The vulture in their jaws must be appeased, and a victim died that his more miserable fellows might live. Another and another fell, a man named Greenhill appearing; invariably, to have been the executioner. At last Pearse and Greenhill alone remained. Without the power to go forward—unable to retrace their steps and surrender to the authorities, they madly sought to extricate themselves. The scene that fol lowed was horrible. These sole survivors, the dismal relics of a dismal fate—each viewing the other with agonizing doubt, with indescribable terror, their eyes glaring with fiendish light—scanned each other's movements with nerves strung to madness. Sleep, that carried doom, was the object of anxious avoidance—" nature's restorative," so much re quired, was wildly endeavoured to be repelled. The herculean constitution of Pearse bore him victor through the inhuman contest—raging with hunger, worn out with watching, reduced to the veriest extreme of human hopelessness, despair in his soul, exhaustion in his frame—the fated Greenhill sunk, overpowered, to earth. A spring —a half laugh, half shriek — and a swift-descending axe told the rest. • Can mortal suffering—mortal debasement—be presented in more abject, more heart-rending colours ? A runaway convict—a felon murderer—forced to support life by canni balism—hopeless to preserve it by flight —nay, even unable to offer it in atonement of an uncontemplated offence. Such the awful position of Pearse! After incredible hardship, he gained the banks of the Derwent, and found some fragments of opossums at a spot where the natives had recently made fires. More eager to die than to live, he shouted loudly, in the hope that they would come and transfix him with their spears. Having fallen in with some bush-rangers, Pearse was taken along with them ; but his late melancholy adven tures having been unknown, he was merely sent back to Macquarie Harbour. One would have thought the horrors he had gone through would have kept him from further at tempts to escape. Such, however, did not prove to be the case; urged by a comrade named Cox, and induced by the powerful apprehension of corporal punishment for the loss of a shirt that had been stolen from him, the terrors of the bush were less than his dread of Macquarie Harbour, from which he and Cox absconded. Another scene of famine and misery ensued, Cox perishing to preserve his partner's life. After a few days Pearse returned to the settlement. Conveyed h a i n e d h w h i e lli i n la g d to fa d l i l e ee f . or t H h e e m we is s for in tun ee es ns a e n ci d ue a n tr e o e - . sent to Hobart Town, w h ere h e shortly expiated his offences upon the scaffold. * The punishment must have been terrible that could induce men, in the face of such horrors to attempt to escape. Mus tered at sunrise, half a pound of salt meat with an equal quan tity of flour or biscuit was apportioned to each ; they were then led to their labour, the constant immersion in the water, the sponginess of the ground which continually gave way under their feet when engaged in rolling timber to the beach, rendered life a curse ; and, at sunset, without a single recrea tion, without even a change of garment, they were recon ducted to their cabins, again to awake to the joyless light of a cheerless morrow. VILI , /,+• Murder in Tasmania is by no means a prevalent crime, but at the penal settlements it has been of frequent occurrenc, and the perpetrators have almost invariably declared that they committed the deed, in order that they themselves should be rid of a hopeless life. The terrors of Macquarie Harbour may be readily inferred from the fact, that in spite of failure and death, escape was continually attempted. Many fugitives were never heard of, having perished, in the dreadful jungle.—colonial Magazine. We understand from good authority that her Majesty's appearance has altered lately much for the worse ; that she is become extremely thin, and that she is subjected to a swelling in the feet.—Bath Herald.—Her Majesty, like ladies of lower degree, must be worse before she is better. SELECT EXTRACTS EAGLES COURSING.—When two eagles are in pursuit of a hare, they show great tact; it is exactly as if two well matched greyhounds were turning a hare—as one rises, the other descends, until poor puss is tired out. When one of them succeeds in catching her, it fixes a claw in her back, and holds by the ground with the other, striking all the time with its beak.—The Moor and Loch. IN THE WRONG Box.—The senior wrangler, of a certain year, piping hot from the Senate-house at Cambridge, went to the play at Drury-lane ; it so happened that a certain great personage entered at the same moment, on the other side of the house, but unobserved by the mathematician. The whole house testified their respect by a general rising and clapping of hands. Our astonished academic instantly ex claimed, " Well, well, this is more than I expected ; how is it possible that these good people should so soon have dis covered that I am the senior wrangler!"—Colton. WHAT IS DEATHI—The laws of nature are all directed by divine wisdom, for the purpose of preserving life and in creasing happiness. Pain seems, in all cases, to precede the mutilation or destruction of those organs which are essential to vitality, and for the end of preserving them •, but the mere process of dying seems to he falling into a deep slum ber; and in animals, which have no fear of death dependant upon imagination, it can hardly be accompanied by very in tense suffering. In the human being, moral and intellectual motives constantly operate in enhancing the fear of death, which, without these motives in a reasonable being, would probably become null, and the love of life be lost upon every slight occasion of pain or disgust ; but imagination is creative with respect to both passions, which it they exist in animals, exist independent of reason, or as instinct. Pain seems in tended by an all-wise Providence, to prevent the dissolution of the different organs, and cannot follow their destruction. I know several instances in which the process of death has been observed, even to its termination, by good philosophers; and the instances are worth repeating :—Dr. Cullen, when dying, is said to have faintly articulated to one of his inti mate, " I wish I had the power of writing or speaking, for then I would describe to you how pleasant a thing it is to die." Dr. Black, worn out by age and a disposition to pul monary hemorrhage, which obliged him to live very low, whilst eating his customary meal of bread and milk, fell asleep, and died in so tranquil a manner, that he had not even spilt the contents of the spoon which he held in his hand. And the late Sir Charles Blagden, whilst at a special meal with his friends, Monsieur and Madame Berthollet and Gay-Lussac, died in his chair so quietly, that not a single drop of the coffee in the cup which he held in his hand was spilt.—Sir Humphrey Davy. THE INFLUENCE OF PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY ON CIVILI SATION.—The physical conformation of the globe is singularly adapted to facilitate this incessant regeneration of mankind. The human species might have been placed in situations where no such revolutions could affect it. Impassable moun tains or arms of the ocean might have separated the rude from the civilised inhabitants of the world ; the empires of the east might have been secured by their situation from hos tile invasion ; and human wickedness might have continued undisturbed in the places were its career first commenced. If the forests of Burmah or America had stretched along the north of the eastern world, the inhabitants of Scythia would have been chained to the hunter life ; and the citizens of the Roman or Persian monarchies, how effeminate soever, might have beheld with contempt a few naked savages emerging from the woods on their frontier. The corruption incident to early civilisation would then have been without a remedy, and the channels of human felicity choked by the magnitude of early population. It was the vast and open plains of Tar tary and Arabia, lying in the immediate vicinity of the spot where it was first cradled, which, in the infancy of the species, led to the pastoral life, and made the tents of the desert co eval with.the cities of the plain on the first dispersion of man kind. - While the wandering life of shepherds spread the race of man far and wide over the globe in the first ages of the world, the rapid multiplication of the species in the pastoral state, prepared, in later times, those periodical and dreadful irruptions which were destined to punish and regenerate the stationary part of mankind. The same wilds which first served as a highway to the dispersion, afterwards became the channel which led to the regeneration of the species. When the vices of the south called for the infusion of barbarian valour, it was not a few scattered savages who answered the summons, but Timour at the head of the Tartar horse, or Genghiskhan with the hordes of Scythian cavalry.—Alison's Principles of Population. DESTRUCTION OF LIFE IN ANCIENT WARS.—Accustom ed as we are to the effects of war in civilized times, when the most bloody contests are followed by an increase in the num bers of the people, it is difficult to form a conception of the desolation which it produces in barbarous ages, when the void produced by the sword is not supplied by the impulse of subsequent tranquillity. A few facts will show its prodi gious influence in former ages. It is ascertained by an exact computation, that when the three great capitals of khorassan were destroyed by Timour, 4,347,000 persons were put to the sword. At the same time 700,000 peop.e were slain in the city of Monsul, which had risen in the neighbourhood of the ancient Nineveh ; and the desolation produced a century and a half before the sack of Genghiskhan, had been at least as great. Such were the ravages of this mighty conqueror and his Mogul followers, in the country between the Caspian and the Indus, that they almost exterminated the inhabitants; and five subsequent centuries have been unable to repair the ravages of four years. An army of 500,000 Moguls, under the sons of Ginghis, so completely laid waste the provinces to the north of the Danube, that they have never since re gained their former numbers ; and in the famine consequent upon the irruption of the same barbarians into the Chinese empire, 13,000,000 are computed to have perished. During the invasion of Timour, twelve of the most flourishing cities of Asia, including Delhi, Ispahan, Bagdad, and Damascus, were utterly destroyed, and pyramids of human heads, one of which contained 90,000 skulls, erected on their ruins. During thirty-two years of the reign of Justinian, the bar barians annually made an incursion into the Grecian empire, and they carried off or destroyed at an average on each occa sion 200,000 persons. Nor was the depopulation of the southern and western provinces less during the same disas trous period. In the wars of Belisarius in Africa, 5,000,000 of its inhabitants are computed by a contemporary writer to have perished ; and during the contests between that illus trious warrior and his successor Narses, and the barbarian armies in Italy, the whole Gothic nation, and nearly fifteen millions of the natives of Italy disappeared. The plague which followed these sanguinary contests, carried off still greater numbers than the sword; and during the fifty-two years that it desolated the Roman empire, it is said to have destroyed a hundred million:of inhabitants.—Alison's Prin ciples of Population. MANCHESTER AND LIVERPOOL.—Though Manchester and Liverpool are so close to each other, and so intimately connected, yet the difference between the two towns is very striking, and the contrast is probably the cause of the jealousy that subsists between their inhabitants. The most prominent distinction is, that the population of Liverpool is more diver sified, and more obviously divisable into classes, than that of Manchester ; there is more splendour among its rich, and more squalor among its poor. The connections between the employer and the employed in Liverpool are not so intimate or so permanent as i❑ a manufacturing district ; the seaport requires a much greater proportion of rude labour and unin structed industry ; there is less demand for trained skill, the acquisition of which is in itself a species of moral culture, and there is a greater need for mere brute strength,—the capacity of raising weights and carrying burthens. In Liverpool, also, there is a far greater proportion of casual to settled employ ment than in Manchester, as must necessarily be the case when the demand for a very large amount of labour depends upon the wind and tide. The manufacturer must feel some sympathy with the operative whom he sees every day in his mill ; but the same opportunity is not afforded to the ship agent, who hires day labourers to load a vessel, or to dis charge a cargo. It is not meant that the merchants of Liver pool have no regard for the physical and moral welfare of the labourers in their employ ; the very contrary is the fact ; no place on the globe possesses a greater number, in proportion to the population, of the energetically benevolent, than the town of Liverpool. Nowhere are schemes of philanthropy more zealously encouraged, or more ardently supported ; but from the very nature of the relations which exist between the rich and the poor, the former are irresistibly compelled to look upon the latter in the mass, and not to take each case in dividually. The merchant does not and cannot know every labourer whom he employs; personal communication between them is nearly impossible; he is anxious to do good, and to prevent evil ; but be is driven to provide for classes of cases, instead of single cases ; hence his 'bounty assumes to the recipient somewhat of the form of cold calculation, and he is accused of forgetting the physiological fact, that the poor have hearts as well as stomachs. When we assert that the distinc tion between the employers and the employed is far more broad and rigid in Liverpool than in Manchester, we do not li mean to say that the merchant is more proud than the manu facturer, or the labourer more subservient than the operative ; but we mean that the circumstances of position render the distance between the factor and the labourer wider and more obvious than it is between the manufacturer and the opera tive.—.

The weather, during the same period, though showery, has not, on the whole, been unfavourable to the crops. Since Tuesday, when a decline of 3d per bushel from our last quotations was noted, no material change has occurred in prices of Wheat, nor has there been much business passing in the free market; but, during Thurs day and yesterday, several cargoes changed hands in bond.
