Vottrp. HYMN TO THE FLOWERS. BY 'HORACE SMITH. Day-stars! that. ope your eyes, with man, to twinkle From rainbow galaxies of earth's creation, And dew-drops on her lonely altars sprinkle As a libation : Ye matin worshippers! who, bending lowly Before the uprisen sun, God's lidless eye, Throw from your chalices a sweet and holy Incense on high: Ye bright mosaics! that with storied beauty Thefloor of Nature's temple tesselate. What numerous emblems of instructive duty Your forms create! 'Neath cloister'd boughi, each floral bell that swingeth, And tolls its perfume on the passing air, Makes Sabbaths in the fields, and ever ringeth A call to prayer. Not to the domes, where crumbling arch and column Attest the feebleness of mortal hand ; But to that fane, most catholic and solemn, Which God hath plann'd To that cathedral, boundless as our wonder, Whose quenchless lamps the sun and moon supply ; Its choir the winds and waves, its organ thunder, Its dome the sky. There as in solitude and shade I wander Through the green aisles, or stretch'd upon the sod, Awed by the silence, reverently ponder The ways of God. Your voiceless lips, 0 flowers ! are living preachers — Each cup a pulpit, every leaf a book, Supplying to my fancy numerous teachers From loneliest nook. Floral apostles ! that in dewy splendour " Weep without love, and blush without a crime," Oh 1 . may I deeply learn, and ne'er surrender Your love sublime ! " Thou wert not, Solomon! in all thy glory, Arrayed," the lilies cry, " in robes like ours; How vain your grandeur ! ah, how transitory Are human flowers !" In the sweet-scented pictures, heavenly Artist! With which thou paintest Nature's wide-spread hall, What a delightful lesson thou impartest Of love to all! Not useless are ye, flowers ! thou g h ma d e f or pl easure ; Blooming o'er field and wave, by day and night, From every source your sanction bids me treasure Harmless delight. Ephemeral sages ! what instructions hoary For such a world of thought could furnish scope? Each fading calyx a memento nzori, Yet fount of hope ! Posthumous glories! angel-like collection ! Upraised from seed or bulb, interr'd in earth, To me ye arc a type of resurrection And second birth. Were 1, 0 God! in churchless lands remaining, Far from all voice of teachers and divines, My soul would find in flowers of thy ordaining Priests, ser►nons, shrines! CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE OPIUM QUESTION. (From the Standard) We observe that the ministerial journals are labour. ing to avail themselves of the Duke of Wellington's authority to justify the course of policy that has led to this melancholy result. The Duke of Wellington's authority is, however, strangely cited to defend a dis regard of his grace's own recorded advice, and the slow adoption of that advice by Ministers seems indeed to prove that no authority can justify their neglect of it. Had they sent out distinct and prudent instruc tions to avoid' quarrels and a "stout frigate" to maintain the respectability of the British name in 1835, there would be no need now to invest their peaceful repre sentative with powers to conduct a campaign, or to send an army and a fleet to assist him. This neglect, the effect of which must be to involve the empire in enor mous expense, was the ground of complaint in Sir J. Graham's motion, which motion was indeed especially reproached as retrospective; and therefore it is the height of absurdity to quote the Duke of Wellington's opinion of the war, as condemnatory of the proposition of Sir James : to do so, is to make his grace approve of the contemptuous disregard of his own advice, to make him say that it . was right to leave the British re sident in a position in which he could not possibly avoid quarrels with the Ckinese government, at the same time leaving him without the means of getting honourably through any dispute. The Duke of Wellington did not indeed condemn the justice of the British part in that war which the Chinese have made upon us; for, however the truth may tell, let the truth be always spoken; and the truth is, that the Chinese have been throughont the aggres sors. The Duke, we say, did not condemn the British part in the defensive war—strange if he did. When were defensive measures ever unjust ? and what war with a people who deny peaceful relations to all man kind can be unjust, whether it be aggressive or defen sive ? The more we consider the subject the more thoroughly we are convinced that any nation has a right to make war upon China while China shall remain self excluded from the family of mankind. The right of occupancy—the only right by which the people of China or any other people can maintain the inviolabi lity of their, soil, is, like all other social rights, the creature of social law, and a denial of the authority of society is a forfeiture of this right. But though the Duke of Wellington, or any other sane man, will scarcely impute injustice to a defensive war, or to a war compelling a state to coins into the common terms of human society, we all may see that as war can he inexpedient though just and though just in the abstract unjust in the means, a mere ac knowledgment of the justice of the Chinese war is not a sufficient defence of the ministers, who by their ne glect have brought it on, and by their neglect also have caused the proximate cause •of its explosion to be one irreconcileable with justice. The questions for the country are not these :—ls the war just ?—must it be prosecuted vigorously ? Both questions are clear : but • the questions for ministers to answer are the follow ing :—Could not this inexpedient, though just, war have been avoided by the use of due diligence and the exercise of common sense ?—could not a more becom ing ground of defence be found for the British ern.- pire, than the protection of a smuggling traffic in poi son ? If we were to have a war with the Chinese, must it be, as ministers have made it, an opium war ? True, their organs say that it is not an opium war—but every page in the many volumes of their blue books proves that as they have managed it it is nothing else. THE COLONIES OF GREAT BRITAIN. (From the Cork Constitution.) In the Colonial Magazine—one of the ablest and most useful of our periodical publications—we find the following paragraph : " Let England feel and act in unison with the doctrine of responsibility to the supreme Disposer of events—let her moral conduct be in accordance with her physical power— let her desire be peace, even while prepared for war—and while sedulous of not offending or injuring others, let no fair and just occasion be lost which may enable her to extend her maritime supremacy and colonial dominion." This is the counsel,. and this the conduct which befit a country like England, and the time is coming when, if she would keep pace with the onward movement of the world, she must attend to the one and adopt the other. Her " maritime supremacy" she must main tain ; for, that once gone, her independence goes with it, and her :" colonial dominion" she must, we do not say extend, but turn to better account than seems to have been yet thought of by her statesmen. Her co lonies, in fact, have been treated more like aliens than like children. Instead of nursing them as the legiti mate offspring of her own loins, tending them through the years of helplessness; and leading them onward until they were able to repay her for the care which bestowed. on them, she acted towards them as a step mother, and handed them over to the " tender mercies" of men who had neither knowledge of their circumstances. nor interest in their welfare. If ever they are to serve. the Empire as they ought—if they are to become a source of strength instead of weakness—of wealth instead of expenditure, this must he reversed. The colonies of England present a boundless field for employment and improvement. They occupy the finest climates in the world, and to them we shall by and by have to turn for a market for those products of our industry which the success of rival manufactures is now excluding from the Conti nent. We must, therefore, abandon the insane system of encouraging the foreigner to the prejudice of our selves. If we would preserve our position, next to the " responsibility" of which the author of the extract speaks, the plough and the harrow, the ships, the colonies and the commerce of our country, must have our first regard. Let us look at home—other nations will take care of themselves : at all events, we shall find them entertaining none of the suicidial schemes so much in favour among us. There is another ex tract which we subjoin. It points to the true policy of England—a policy, the long neglect of which by a people celebrated fur the prudence and energy of their mercantile enterprise, would seem, were it not so well and so unfortunately attested, to beutterly incredible:— " In our judgment, we would desire to direct the public mind from political agitation at home, to social improvement in our colonies. Instead of seeking to destroy the landed interest by breakit f • down the corn-laws, and w ith t h em t h e funded property antl all species of contracts, let us endeavo ur to obtain a yearly increasing supply of grain a n d t i m b er f rom our transtnarine possessions ; instead of endeavouring to prevent continental Europe from manufacturing for its own wants, let ns turn to the certain and profitable markets which our colonies supply, remembering that in British In dia alone, with a population of one hundred millions British subjects, the consumption of our manufactures is not mote than sixpence per head .annually. In our colonies will he found the richest fields for the increase of our power ; the,e are the genuine sources of national wealth ; and their culti vation is, in reality, the true policy of England." THE ANTARCTIC ExPEDITION.—It is not generally known that Mr. Enderby h as titl e d ou t an ex pedition for the purpose of exploring the Antarctic regions. France and the United States have recently sent out ships of discovery to the same latitudes; an d it is beli eve d t h a t C ap t a i n D'Urville, the commander o f the French expedition, has discovered an island to the southward of Van Diemen's Land. The expedition, of which Mr. Enderby is the promoter, will entail no expense on the English government, •while it will carry out all the views which government entertained when Captain Ross was sent out. The officer to whom Mr. E n d er b y ' s expe di t i on h as been entrusted, is Captain Ma pleton, a gentleman of high professional merit;--a rellow-voy,ager , moreover, with C a pt. R Ni E . We are very sure that Captain Mapleton will do all that in him lies to prtrillt France or America from beari ng which have, hith er t o, be away those honours of discovery Longed pre-eminently to England.--)forninil Herald. ate - " , 400)iit w e ,. /. - .., , -, , , BRITISH OtTIANA, EXTRACT FROM A LETTER DATED DEXIERARAO MAX' CH STH, 1840. " I am sorry to say our prospects in this once flourishiog colony still continue very gloomy ; insomuch that many peo. pie are trying to realize what little property they have in order to quit it for good and all. This, however, is only what was to be expected ; as, for the last fifteen years, we have been so harassed and oppressed by the legislative enact inents of the mother country, that the spirits of the colonists have quite broken down, hundreds of respectable families and individuals have been consigned to ruin and beggary, and the hopes of almost all completely and for ever blasted. It has been said that British Guiana remains a real terra incognita; and with shame we must confess that we know little indeed of the internal resources of this splendid colony, which, unless some decisive measures he instantly adopted, is, we have great reason to fear, doomed in no long time, to become a second Africa, and its present inhabitants will be ultimately exterminated altogether, or I have to fall back like the North American Indians, to give place to their new masters, the blacks, who amount to 80,000 ; and who, it is not improbable, will be joined by those of Surinam ; in which case, what would one, two, or three thousand militia, and it may be six or seven hundred regular troops avail us ? " We know that in this warm relaxing climate, indolence, like drunkenness, and all such pernicious habits, grows upon those who unfortunately give way to it ; and although so many slaves have been freed within this colony in the course of the last ten or twelve years, there have been, compara tively, only very few instances of free negroes, male or fe male, working in the field for hire. They consider it a dis grace to be so employ e d. E ver y r i ver an d cr eek now swarms with idle and worthless free people, many of them very bad characters. In this district alone (Christianburg) there are upwards of two hundred, not one in ten of whom has any settled place of abode, or visible means of subsistence, inde pendent of hunting and fishing ; so that with this example before our eyes, and with such an immense tract of unoccu pied country around us, to which the negroes may retire and indulge in sloth and idleness, what can we expect but that before many years shall elapse they will sink into savage life, instead of rising to the condition of a respectable, happy, and industrious peasantry. " That there may be a remedy, however, for such a state of things, I do not mean to deny ; and that remedy, if any where, is to be found in immigration. But even as to this the planters' hopes are gone ; nor, as you may well suppose, have the terms on which her majesty's government have offered them a bill to promote it, tended in the slightest degree, to give them encouragement. " At present, as I have already observed, we are acquainted with only a very small portion of the interior of Guiana. Inexhaustible in its natural treasures, it has been hitherto most strangely.neglected ; although a few thousand pounds, judiciously expended in exploring it, would, there is every reason to believe, be productive of incalculable benefit, not only to science, but to the British nation. But, if such con siderations be insufficient, there is yet another and a higher one. Are not the souls of the native Indians equally pre cious in the sight of God with those of the African race.? And why, I would further ask, has so much money been la vished, and so many valuable lives sacrificed in a fruitless attempt to Christianise the blacks on the coast of Africa, and in endeavouring to establish a trade with the savages of the interior of that pestilential country, whilst the poor be nighted, - but mild and inoffensive Indians, inhabiting one of the fairest portions of the globe, have been neglected and left to perish, uncheered by one ray of hope or glimpse of future happiness? For, until last year, not one missionary has been sent amongst them, nor a single attempt made to ' instruct them in the right knowledge of God, or to extricate them from their lamentable state of ignorance. I have been protector of the Indians for Demerara river more than 21 years, and have frequently brought the subject forward ; but, I regret to say, it was of no manner of use; and I now almost despair of ever being able to benefit them, or to draw attention to the resources of a country which could alone furnish more than a sufficient quantity of the finest and most durable timber in the world, for the use of all the ship-build ing establishments in Great Britain and Ireland." AVERAGE PRICE OF WHEAT FOR FORTY YEARS Notwithstanding the increase of population, when we take an average price of wheat for forty years, a list of which now lies before me, I.aid to be a copy from the London Morning Chronicle, and which I take for granted is official, we shall find that the last ten years have been much the lowest :- 1795, 739.04... 1805, 875.1 d... 1815, 635.8 d... 1825, 665.64. 1796, 76 6 .. 1806, 76 9 .. 1816, 76 2 .. 1826, 56 II 1797, 52 6 .. 1507, 73 1 .. 1817, 94 0 .. 1827, 55 0 1798, 50 6 .. 1308, 78 11 .. 1818, 83 8 .. 1828, 60 5 1799, 97 6 .. 1809, 94 5 . 1819, 72 3 .. 1829, 66 3 1800,110 6 .. 1810,103 3 .. 1820. 65 10 .. 1830, 64 3 1801,115 11 .. 1811, 92 5 .. 1821, 54 5 .. 1831, 66 4 1802, 67 6 .. 1812,122 8 .. 1822, 43 6 .. 1832, 58 8 1803, 56 6 .. 1813,!06 6 .. 1823, 61 9 .. 1833, 52 11 1804, 60 5 .. 1814, 72 1 .. 1824, 62 0 .. 1834. 46 2 730 10 9 0 7 2 677 3 730 10 20) 1,638 0 .593 5 677 3 20) 1,270 8 Av. from 1795 to 1814, 81 17 Av. from 1815 to 1834, 63 6 Taking the ten years from 1805 to 1814, inclusive, the average price annually was 90s. Bd. ; and from 1815 to 1824, inclusive, after establishment of corn-laws, 675. Bd.,—lower 235. per quarter annually. And taking in the twenty years from 1795 to 1814, inclusive, before the corn-laws, the an nual average was 81s. 10d. ; and from 1815 to 1834, after the establishment of corn-laws, 635. 6d., or 18s. 4d. lower annu ally. Now, taking the consumption of the United Kingdom, for all kinds of corn, to be 45 millions of quarters annually,—say 15 millions of wheat at 18s., 13i millions sterling, 30 millions barley, oats, tke., at 195., 13 ditto ditto, Say 33 millions less annually ; and for the 20 years, 630 mil lions sterling—less than the consumption would have cost for the twenty preceding years. Now mark this, ye mass of the people !—an amount more than the whole national debt of Great Britain, at 5 per cent. For if we allow the interest of it to be 28, or even 30 millions, we have only to multiply by 20, which will give GOO millions. Now, here is a result taken from known and correct data, even as to amount, (the very reverse of declamatory statements.) affording irrefragible evidence of the egregious fallacy of the assertions, that corn-laws have been a tax on the community, and have made corn dear. On the one side is a statement of £600,000 gained, on the other side is a statement of £600,000 lost, to the community 1--a pretty prominent difference ; and if we proceed on the subject, we shall find a continuation, also, similarly prominent. The asserters of loss can never have investigated the subject on its own merits : they must have been quite satisfied with imagination. Arid even Mr. Villiers, in his prepared speeches, only gives the opinion of men whom he calls authorities against the corn-laws, and that no man of any consequence has given an opinion in their favour. Does he consider the Queen's prime minister as one of those men of no consequence, who, as his reason, (the only thing useful in opinion), in a few words gave the ques tion the most suitable and correct definition,—in substance, I believe, " that the man who would place the country in a state of dependence on foreign countries for the necessaries of life, must be a madman ?" It is true he has a number of colleagues, who, in that re spect, are either madmen, or feign to be so, to keep up their popularity with their supporters. The minister and they, however, know that there are enough of sane men in the house to prevent them from doing injury. Again, Mr. Villiers says, there are eight hundred thousand men in the manufacturing districts, who point to the corn laws as the cause of their sufferings, and to the repeal as their cure. If they imagine that the corn-laws are the cause, and the only cause of bad business, and that the repeal of them is only necessary to give them a great business, they will find their imagination has taken a very superficial and a very in correct view of the subject. The nations of Europe, availing themselves of the advan tage of knowledge which the results of the crusades of Bona parte afforded them, are proceeding in peace and security in fostering and protecting their own industry and their own independence. We have no power—we have no right, if we had—to prevent them. We have not prevented them from obtaining our machinery and our skilful workmen, and they will not give up one inch of their markets to us. We have already furnished them with some six millions of gold. Where is the great trade ?—still in the imagination. And as to our competition being regulated by the price of corn, it is mere babbling. Why, if our skilful workmen had bread for nothing, it would not save above Is. 6d. per week. And what bread does machinery eat? SPORTING . INTELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVENING. As the settling on the Epsom events did not " come off" until this afternoon at Tattersalls, several of our heavy book makers have been detained in London. To-morrow evening will most probably find all " at home," when, from present appearances, we are induced to think the weight of money and general settling will pass over very well.—To-day's mar ket, as regards the proceedings on the cup event of Friday next, was decidedly dull—by no means in keeping with the assemblage, which was very large. A desire to ascertain how the market ran must certainly have brought many a country face into the room—for " business" they never attempted. Every hour brings changes.

CONCRETIONS ON THE BOTTOMS OF STEAM BOILERS, Zicc.—A simple and efficacious method is now known of pre venting the incrustations in question ; it is to add from 26 to 331bs Of potatoes to the water in a boiler that consumes from 55 to 66113 s of coals per hour. The boiler may then be employed for 20 or 30 days without being cleaned, and with out any fear of a calcareous deposit. After this time the mud must be thrown away, and the same quantity of pota toes again be added. It appears that the fecula, by dissolving in the water, renders this sufficiently viscous to prevent the calcareous matter. Flour would produce the same effect, and much less of it would be required. A few days after the steam-boiler intended to heat the exchange in Paris was brought into use, it was perceived that there was a hole in the bottom. The fire was extinguished, and it was found, upon emptying the boiler, that the metal was burnt in a place where a rag (chiffon) had been deposited, which had been forgotten when the apparatus was set up.—Foreign Quarterly , Review.

PETT, THE MISER. On the 2d of June, 1803, died Thomas Pett, a native of Warwickshire. At ten years old he came to London with a solitary shilling in his pocket. As he had neither friends nor relations in the capital, he was indebted to the humanity of an old woman, who sold pies, for a morsel of bread, till he could procure himself a crust. In the course of a few days he was engaged as an errand-boy by a tallow-chandler, whose wife could not reconcile herself to his awkward man ners and rustic gait; she dismissed him one cold winter's evening, with this observation :—" Your master hired you in my absence, and I'll pack you off in his." Her good hus band did not desert Tom ; he found him out, and bound him apprentice to a butcher, in the borough of Southwark, where he behaved so well during his apprenticeship, that his master recommended him, when be was out of his time, as a jour neyman to another of the trade in Clare market, For the first five years he was engaged at twenty-five pounds a-year, meat and drink. The accumulation and keeping of money were the two sole objects of his thoughts. His expenses were reduced to three heads—lodging, clothing, and washing. He took a back room on the second floor, with one window, which occasionally admitted a straggling sunbeam. Every article of his dress was second-hand, nor was he choice in the colour or quality ; he jocosely observed, when twitted on his garb, that, according to Solomon, there was nothing new under the stm ; the colour was a mere matter of fancy ; and that the best was that which stuck longest to its integrity. On washing, he used to say a man did not deserve a shirt that would not wash it himself; and that the only fault he had to find with Lord North was the duty he imposed upon soap. One expense, however, lay heavy on his mind, and robbed him of many a night's sleeep ; this was shaving ; he often lamented that he had not learned to shave himself ; but he desired consolation from hoping that beards would one day be in fashion, and the Bond-street loungers would be driven to wear artificial ones. _ He made a rash vow one night, when he was very thirsty, that as soon as he had accumulated a thousand pounds he would treat himself to a pint of porter every Saturday : this he was soon enabled to perform : but when an additional duty was laid on beer, he sunk to half a pint, which he said was sufficient for any man that did not wish to get drunk, and die in a workhouse. If he heard of an auction in the neighbourhood, he was sure to run for a catalogue, and, when he had collected a number of these together, he used to sell them for waste paper. When he was first told that the bank was restricted from paying in specie, he shook loudly, as Klopstock says, took to his bed, and could not be prevailed on to take a morsel, or met his lips, till he was assured that all was right. On Sundays, after dinner, he used to lock himself up in his room, and amuse himself with reading an old newspaper, or writing rhymes, many of which he left behind him on slips of paper. The following is a specimen of his talents in this way . ON HEARING THAT SMALL DEER WAS RAISED. They've rais'd the price of table drink ; What is the reason, do you think? The tax on malt, the cause I hear; But what has malt to do with table beer? He was never known, even in the depth of the coldest winter to light a fire in his room, or to go to bed by candle light. He was a great friend to good cheer at the expense of another. Every man, said he, ought to eat when he can get it—an empty sack cannot stand. If his thirst at any time got the better of his avarice, and water was not at hand, he would venture sometimes to step into a public-house, and call for a penny-worth of beer. On those trying occasions he always sat in the darkest corner of the tap-room, in order that he might drink in every thing that was said with thirsty ear. He was seldom or ever known to utter a word, unless Bonaparte or a parish dinner were mentioned, and then he would draw a short contrast between kickshaws and the roast beef and plum-pudding of Old England, which he called the staple commodity of life. He once purchased a pint of small beer; but, the moment he locked it up in his closet, he repented, tore the hair out of his wig, and threw the key out of the window, lest he should be tempted, in some unlucky moment, to make too free with it. Pett's pulse, for the last twenty years of his life, rose and fell with the funds. He never lay down or rose that he did not bless the first inventor of compound interest. His constant saying was, that gold was the clouded cane of youth, and the crutch of old age. For forty-two years he lived in Clare Market as journey man butcher ; and lodged thirty years in one gloomy apart ment, which was never brightened up with coal, candlelight, or the countenance of a visitant. He never treated man, woman, or child, to a glass of any kind of liquor—never lent or borrowed a penny—never spoke ill or well of any one—and never ate a morsel at his own expense. About three days before his dissolution, he was pressed by his employer to make his will. He reluctantly assented, but observed, as he signed his name, that it was a hard thing that a man should sign away all his property with a stroke of a Pen. He left £2,475 in the three per cents. to distant 'rela tions, not one of whom he had ever seen or corresponded with. About half an hour before he died he wanted to bargain for a coffin. The following inventory of Pett's goods and chattels was taken after his death : An old bald wig. A hat as limber as a pancake. Two shirts that might pass for fishing-nets. A pair of stockings embroidered with threads of different colours. A pair of shoes, or rather sandals. A bedstead instead of a bed. A toothless comb. An almanack out of all date. A ricketty chair. A leafless table. A looking-glass that survived the power of reflection. A leathern bag with a captive guinea.

A PATRIOTIC BAKER.—" A baker of Constance," says the Cherbourg paper, " was pulled up the other (lay for selling bread under weight. He alleged as an excuse that he intended this bread for his English customers, and that he would not have cheated his French customes for all the world ! The rogue was fined according to law." DIRECTORS' POWER TO SUE FOR CALLS--An im portant decision was on Monday given by Lord Abinger in the Court of Exchequer, in the case of the Edinburgh, Leith, and Newhaven company against Hibblewhite, with respect to the power of directors to sue for arrears of calls. His lord ship held that after a declaration of forfeiture of shares had been made by the directors, they had no power to sue for calls on them until that declaration had been negatived at a general meeting. But of course the defaulter could be only freed from his liability by the confirmation of the forfeiture at the meeting. If the meeting should not sanction the de claration of the directors, he was liable, and might be sued directly after.—Railway The Manchester and Birtr Stockport, nearly six miles, on Guardian.

The father of her husband had twenty-one children.— Guernsey Star. Copious FACT.—At a recent meeting at the Royal Insti tution, London, Mr. Faraday directed attention to a shot which lie had received front Woolwich. Experiment had shown, that, by filling a hollow iron shot with lead, its speed and force, when fired, were greatly increased ; but-a singular effect on the heavier lead w as o b serve d. The l ea d was found to have receded—to have been compressed into one half the space, it occupied previously to being discharged from the gun. In the case exhibited, the iron case or shell had been filled with leaden bullets, round of course ; but, after being fired, and the iron shell broken, it was seen that all the balls had coalesced, each sphere had become a polyhedron, and complete aggregation had ensued. This effect is, doubtless, attributable to the difference of inertia in the two metals, and to the instant of time that elapses before the inner metal is acted upon by the enormous force of the explosion. ILLUSTRATIONS OF CHANCERY PRACTICE.—A family of the name of H—t. The father was a highly respectable clergyman, possessing some valuable freehold estates—on his death the family was involved in law ; the Court of Chancery was the scene of action—the suit or suits continued, I think, upwards of forty years ; and every branch of the family was eventually reduced to extreme wretchedness and poverty. About fourteen or sixteen years ago, a number of attorneys, the sons and grandsons of their departed parents who had been engaged in the suits before them, Met at a certain inn in S—shire, which might be named. They examined their bills ; they had ascertained before they met the amount of money in the accountant-general's hands, and found it just sufficient to satisfy them, and they then determined (the parties in the case being all reduced to pauperism) the suit ought no longer to be ,persevered in ! This was generous.— Woolsack. ANECDOTE OF A DOG.—There is a Scotchwoman who travels about our neighbourhood with a basket, of the name of Jane Stirzaker, or Jenny Tysick, as she is commonly called. She owns a small dog that generally accompanies her. A few years ago she had a young child, which the dog was very fond of, being in the habit of lying with it in the cradle. But it so happened that the child took an illness and died. Jenny was at that time living at Hawkshead, but her infant was buried at Stavely. From the mother's distress of mind at the time, little notice was taken of the dog; but, soon after the funeral, it was found to be missing, nor could any tidings be heard of it for a fortnight. But the poor mo ther, passing through Stavely, thought she would visit the church-yard where the infant was interred ; when, behold ! there was the little dog lying in a deep hole which it had scratched over the child's grave ! It was in a most emaciated state of hunger and privation. It had been seen occasionally for some days in the streets of the village.—Kendal Mer cury. A FRIEND IN NEED.—A few days ago, a little boy, driv ing a donkey on the turnpike-road from Redruth to Cam borne, came to the gate, and being unable to pay the toll, was obliged to retrace his steps to obtain the means, if he knew where to find them. On his way back, he fell in with a sailor, who seeing the poor little fellow in tears, asked what he was crying for. On being told, he desired the boy to follow him ; and on reachin ,, the gate, the toll being again demanded for the ass, Jack asked in a careless manner if a man might carry anything through without paying. He was answered in the affirmative; when suddenly turning round and seizing the ass, he carried it through the gate in triumph, to the great delight of the driver.— Woolmer's Exeter Ga zette. PROSPECTti•OF GAME. — The prospects of a very large brood of moor game was never more cheering than it has been this spring on the moors near Blackstone Edge until within a few weeks, when numbers of the railway men have been in the habit of going in the moors in pursuit of and destroying game. On Sundry last, a game keeper under James Dearden, Esq., of Rochdale, went in pursuit of seven of the railway men, who abused him in a shameful manner, and destroyed in his presence 15 nests of grouse eggs. The keeper was glad to get off the moors with his life. BEDFORDSHIRE CUCUMBERS. — ID the southern counties of England, pickling cucumbers are easily raised withoutany artificial heat, being sown in drills in the open ground. The earth is made fine and level, and shallow circular hollows are formed with the hand, a foot wide, and half an inch deep in the middle. The distance between each hollow is three feet and a half, and the distance between the rows five or six feet. Eight or ten seeds are deposited in each cavity. This is done in the beginning of June. When the plants appear, they are thinned out to three or four, the weakest or less healthy be ing rejected. They are watered occasionally, according to the state of the weather. The cucumbers are gathered chiefly from the middle to the end of August. Vast quantities of these open-ground gherkins are taken to the London market. The village of Sandy, in Bedfordshire, has been known to furnish 10,000 bushels of drill cucumbers in one week. The heart of Boieldieu, the composer, which was presented by his widow to the city of Rouen, has been removed with great ceremony from the chapel in the cemetery, where it was deposited in November 1834, to the monument which has been erected for its final reception at the expense of the municipality. THE SEA SERPENT ONCE MORE.—The strange monster that has regularly, once a year, made its appearance in the neighbourhood of Nahant, has this season taken up its resi dence on the coast of New Jersey. The United States Ga zette publishes a letter from Mr. Job Salmon, of Cranmer Town, near Manahawk, dated April 9, saying that four or five persons saw his majesty of the great deep on the 28th of March, quietly sunning himself on the surface of the waters in Dinner Point Creek. It is a snug sort of hiding-place for his snakeship, just large enough to allow him to sport at his case, which lie seemed to be doing, when Mr. o b Salmon and several others suddenly came upon him one day proceed ing down the creek. He appeared of a black colour, 50 feet long, eight inches in diameter, and holding his head five or six feet above the water. A posse of villagers, to whom the news of this extraordinary arrival had been, communicated, with arms, ammunition, harpoons, stakes, seines, lines, and divers other instruments, proceeded to the beach to give a warm welcome to the stranger, but he had snuffed the secret, and hurried himself away.—New York paper. EPIDEMIC AMONGST CATTLE.—At the recent meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society, Dr. Whitlaw declared his full persuasion of the deleterious nature of butter cups, and other species of ranunculus in pastures, to the cattle feeding on them—attributing to the poisonous properties of these plants not only the recent epidemic, but all former attacks of the kind, rendering the animals poor and unwholesome as food. He would, threfore, recommend to the society and the public to try the experiment of ploughing up the old Pas tures, saturated as they were already with the poisonous exu dation of deleterious weeds. He would also refer to the evil effects of bringing animals to such a degree of obesity that their flit might be literally termed neither more nor less than the " essential oil of dung."—The Duke of Richmond said that butter cups were no novelties in our pastures, and there fore, that if they were indeed the cause of the distemper in question, why, he would ask, had we not had it before ? Be sides, it would be presumptuous in any man to assert the cause of a disease before gleaning from every quarter the ex perience on which he was to found his reasonings.—Worces ter Journal. THE GREAT BOY.—In the Albany Evening Journal there is an account of a young Vermonter, the son of a Mr. Den slow Barber, of Richmond, Chittenden county, who, though but 3 years and 11 months old, is 4 feet in height, weighs about 1001bs., and with the excgption of a slight curve of the legs below the knee, occasioned by walking too early, and the great weight of the body, is in every respect propor tioned like a man, and has the muscular strength of a boy of 16. The general expression of the face exhibits the spright liness and prying curiosity of the child of 6 or 8 years, while the hair, whiskers, voice, and physical lineaments, are those of a man of 30. THE NEW CONSERVATORY AT CHATSWORTIL—By the summer of 1840 (says the author of Sketches in Derbyshire), this will prove another attraction. It is on an immense scale, extending over au acre of ground ; and, when replete with choice exotics—some of nature's rarest gifts—cannot fail to become a novelty of general interest, and to have many claims on the attention of our more learned horticulturists. Some idea of its magnitude may be formed on knowing that the centre arch of the roof is 76 feet high, with a span of 70 feet ! affording ample room for the stupendous growth of the American alee (Agave Americana); or, indeed, the loftiest green-house plant ever fostered in these islands. E ARTIIQU AKE.—A letter from the Carpathian Mountains, received at Vienna, says —" On April 26. we had a violent shock of earthquake, attended with a frightful storm ; and on the 30th, between ten and eleven at night, the shock was re peated with such force that at Altendorf, the frontier town between Galicia and Hungary, many chimneys were thrown down, and the church-bells were set a ringing. Large cracks are to be seen in house walls, and fissures have been made in the banks of the rivers. Soon afterwards we had a return of winter, and- the mountains are again covered with snow, which has also fallen on the plains and in the valleys. From the 7th, however, the weather has become rather mild, but vegetation comes on slowly." DEATH OF AW OPIUM EATER.—A man, who played the pianoforte at a public-house in Ratcliffe Highway, killed himself on Wednesday, by chewing a large quantity of opium. He was in the habit of taking laudanum ;_ but not having hi s phial with him on th a t even i ng, h e sen t for a pennyworth of opium to a . druggiA's shop. A woman in the shop sold the quantity asked for, and the pianoforte-player put it in his mouth and kept it there till he fell down in a stupor. The stomach-pump was applied in vain.

STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER.—As usual during the Whitsuntide holidaya, and the annual stoppage of th e cana l s , th ere was very little business done yesterday ; but that little, we are sorry to say, was at declining prices for almost all descriptions of goods and yarn, and the market wore a very heavy appearance. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JUNE, B. The market to-day has not been so brisk as it was on the last Circe or four Mondays, but prices have undergone little or no change. During this last month, while the demand has been goyd, and the manufacturers for the Blackwater market have met with a ready sale for their flannels, in the warehouses there have been no extra orders given, or any improvement in tho demand worth mentioning. It is supposed that the merchants have bought more freely of late, under an impres sion that wool was at its lowest prices. We have no altera timi in the wool market to-day. Prices yet continue firm. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, TUESDAY, JUNE 9.—There was less business done at this market to-day than for some time past; and as is usual on holiday market days, very few fresh goods were brought in. Great complaints obtain as to the up-bill nature of business—the want of that buoyancy and elasticity which characterizes a profitable trade. Goods are sold, and in tolerable large quantities ; but generally at little, if any, profit. The woolstaplers especially have had hard work of it for a long time, and have suffered great losses ; and yet the price of the raw material is considered too high. We have no change to note in prices, which are generally very firm ; great caution being observed on all hands. Business in the warehouses is not quite so brisk.— Manchester Guardian. COLONIAL STATISTICS. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. PRESTON AND Wilp, RAILWAY MEETING.—The general meeting of this company was held on Monday, Sir Hesketh Fleetwood, Bart., in the chair. The cl.airman stated that there would be a steamer put on to run between Fleetwood town and Ulverstone, and another between Fleetwood and Belfast. The secretary mentioned that the former would ru❑ twice, or at least, once a day. He said that Captain Denhani's report of the harbour works would be sent to the shareholders with the director's report, and adverted to the Patent Screw Light House, erected by Messrs. Mitchell and Son, of which a diagram and specification were given by us in our number for April 25th, and said that it had answered its expectations most admirably. Others, he said, were erecting on the same principle. He observed that there could be no doubt but that the railway would be opened the first week in July. To a question by Mr. Philpots, he re plied that of the £5O shares the issues had been to the amount of £130,000, and of the new, or £25, to the amount of £90,000. On the motion of Mr. Philpots, the six retiring directors were re-elected. Thanks were voted to the direc tors, secretary, and engineer, and a very handsome testimony to the zeal and ability of the secretary was given by Mr. Elwin.—Railway Magai•ine. f/tipping fittrilfyiire.

(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott and Son.) Since Tuesday last the arrivals of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, from Ireland, coastways, and from foreign ports, have been to a moderate extent, and the continuance of very favourable weather, with a depression in the London, and in most of our influential country Corn markets during the past week, have' caused a very moderate and limited demand here for Wheat at a further decline of 2d to 3d per 701 h. for Oats, at a decline of Id per 451 b. and for almost every other article in the Corn trade at a small depression, though in their general quotations of Tuesday we could make no alteration.
