Sahli EL PERRY , Agent. , CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS. ,--," riIHE accounts lat e ly rece i ved from Macao, brought intelli -IL genre of the English having been totally expelled from China, and that hostilities had actually commenced between Her Majesty's forces, directed by her Superintendent in person, and Chinese men of war; in other words, China is at war with England. And the questions upon which the two countries are now at issue bein„; of such difficult adjust ment as to render it almost impossible, and certainly impro- . bable, that any more teas can he obtained fro China for a very considerable p er i o d, a great rise in a escriptions of that a r ti c l e h as ta k en place. Since June P , common black 4 vf teas have risen Is. 9i1., and fi ne green, 3s. per lb. Fine Hyson, with duty, fetched at th e l ate p ublic sales, 9s. 7d. per lb. ; fine black teas as high as Gs. 7d., whilst up to this mo ment, Captain Pidding has continued to allow his teas to be sold without any advance whatever. The late great rise, however, having caused a run upon hi s teas by the trade, who found that they could purchase them cheaper retail than they could buy inferior teas wholesale, he is compelled to raise the price, to prevent his remaining stk being purchased by tea dealers. For the present, Captain Piddin g s How- QUA'S MIXTURE will be sold at the rate of Gs. 9d. per lb., being 9s. the catty, or an advance of only 9d. per lb., when the commonest teas, since June, have advanced Is. 9d. per lb. HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER will he sold, for the Present, at 9s. 9d. per lb., when even Hyson, an inferior tea, is fetchi ng , w h o l esa l e , 9 s . 7d. per lb. H a lf an d quarter catties in like proportions. Captain Pidding thinks it right to inform the public that his Chinese correspondent states confidently, that there is no probability of the trade opening with that country, for, at the least, twelve months ; and as the entire stock of consumable tea in Great Britain will be exhausted before that period, there is little doubt but tea will advance daily. These Teas consist of Captain Pidding's HOWQUA'S MIXTURE, of 40 rare Black Teas, and HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER,in Chinese Catty Packages. N.B.—The signature of " Captain JOHN ItHODE, Pin- DING" is upon every genuine package. GtO. CARLYLE, Repository, 38, 80ld -street, Sole Agent for LIVERPOOL. Bolton G. J. French, Silk Mercer.

MILK PUNCH THIS unique and nectarious Liqueur has, for nearly a century, been duly appreciated at CHICHESTER AND THE METROPOLIS. It was at the former place where the original projector of this delectable beverage had his abode ; no doubt the corporation of that ancient borough evinced their good taste, and marked their approbation of this GREAT DISCOVERY, by presenting to him the freedom of the town ; but with that the present generation have nothing to do ; suffice it to say, that this ELIXIR is now, for the very first time, introduced tot notice of the bon wants of the northern parts of this gre t Kingdom for their judgment. It Would be quite in vain to enter into any detail of its excellencies, yet, thus far may be vouched, that it is composed of the best materials, without any adulteration, and, in flavour, possesses the combined sweetness of the Grape, the fragrance.of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne; and while THE LORDS OF THE CREATION will find it an excellent addenda to the Dinner Table, THE GENTLER SEX may not disdain to sip, the more so as ROYALTY has acknowledged its transcendant merit. It has been intimated that it will prevent SEA SICKNESS, but of. that we will not vouch, never having crossed the I;bydeep" with it in our posse ss i on ; b ut should not Pro iertionrs of PACKET-SHIPS AND STEAMERS take the hint ? And although it may not produce that " con summation devoutly to be wished," yet, sure we are, its grateful properties are such as will be found to be an excellent restorative to the palates and stomachs of those who suffer from the effects of a sea voyage. It will keep in any climate, and possesses that sure criterion of genuine excellence, improves by ay e. LE GRAND GOURMAND will find it a most social companion his Calepash and Calepee, and the temperate man, while he masticates his biscuit over a glass of it, will be constrained to eulogise this incomparable Liqueur. " Come and try, Don't like—don't buy," is an old saying and a good one; and as in matters of taste every man is the best pidge, this invitation is given in the full assurance that, if the Milk Punch only finds its way to the palate, it will quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 amongst the list of those good things which cheer the he ar t o f mankin d.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, s 4O. p_ m ilibernian Society. The following facts are sufficient to show the importance of this Society in promoting the spiritual welfare of the Irish people : I.—There are in Ireland between two and three millions of • Irish-speaking population, of whom two millions speak English as well ; and between five and six millions who speak English exclusively. 2.—Among the English-speaking population, who are a large majority of the Irish nation, the London Hibernian So ciety is principally employed ; while, at the same time, for those who speak Irish only, it appoints Irish-speaking Scripture-readers, and forms, where it is required, Irish classes in its schools. 3.—lt is the principal Society to which the Irish Clergy, and Protestants in general, look for aid in establishing and maintaining their Scriptural Schools, and a far greater number of applications are received from them, than, in the present state of the funds, can . be complied with. 4.—The number of Day-shOols is 1157, containing 91,066 Scholars, of whom 34,067 are Children of Roman Ca tholic Parents. Will you not help Ireland by supporting such a So ciety as this ? Every security is given that your money will be prudently expended. No aid is afforded except where the Rules of the Society are abided by ; the prin cipal of which are, that the whole Scripture shall be read in the Schools, and portions committed to memory ; and that every School shall submit to a quarterly examination by a competent Inspector, whom the Society appoints. Its plan is so econimical that a child is educated for a year for little more than half-a-crown. Have you thus educated a child— or, if not, will you not do it ? A Lancashire Lord's Day Socie - ty. The sanctities of the Divine appointment of the Lord's Day are continually invaded from new quarters, and among increasing multitudes, by the spirit of commerce, or of worldly pleasure ; while the bulwarks of law, raised to defend them, are no more efficient for that object than the fortresses of antiquity to resist the alterations and improvements of modern warfare. On these accounts, there seemed an abso lute necessity that the friends of, religion.-.-who feel the favour if God to be the only safety and prosperity of a people-- should combine in some effort (more powerful than could proceed from individual exertions, however zealously made,) to stand in the breach against the wide and wasting flood of Sabbath violations, by the formation of a Society which should have for its object the amendment of public feeling and principle on this momentous subject—the diffusion of spiritual light upon the common mind—the assistance of those who might wish for help in the high duty of keeping holy the Lord's Day—and especially of such legislators as might have Christian courage to lift up their voices in the deliberate assemblies of the nation against this great trans gression of the country. The Society's operations are carried on by the instrumen tality of placards, addresses, memorials, tracts, and petitions to Parliament. ' Church Pastoral Aid Society. This Society has especial claims upon the town of Liver pool, as it is the means of providing many additional curates and scripture readers, at an annual expense of £590, while the returns from the town for the past year were but £ll7. Surely Liverpool should, as an auxiliary, return more than she receives. The three following societies are especially devoted to the benefit of the seamen, and of those engaged in navigation on the canals, and therefore deserve the cordial support of all who are connected with the shipping and commerce of this port. The Mariner's Church Has now been established, under the patronage of the Bishop of the Diocese, for more than twelve years ; and, as far as its means will allow, is carrying out the objects of the institution with increasing benefit. But their exertions are limited, for want of further support, and owing to the necessary repairs of the church, which have been lately effected, the Society is still involved in debt. It is, therefore, confidently hoped that the public will assist in liquidating this, and by increased subscriptions enable the committee to enlarge their sphere of usefulness, by opening schools for the children of seamen and flatmen. The Naval and Military Bible Society, and Prayer Book and Homily Society. Are also in great need of assistance. Their object is to visit the shipping, by means of an agent who is employed for that purpose, and to supply the crews with prayer-books and homilies, and copies of the Scriptures, at reduced prices; and, by a law of the Parent Naval and Military Bible Society, it is their wish to place on board every ship, flat, and steam boat, which leaves the port, a gratuitous supply of the Scrip tures, for the use of the crew (in proportion to the number of the men), where there are no means of selling them. I trust that the claims of these Societies will meet with a willing re sponse from all who are, interested in the well-being of the seamen, as their funds are totally inadequate to carry out this desirable object without involving the parent society in a considerable loss. Trinitarian Bible Society. The peculiar object of the Trinitarian Bible Society is to publish faithful Protestant Versions of the Holy Scriptures, in the Portuguese, Spanish, and German languages, in the translation of which they are already engaged : and it will be the particular design of the Liverpool Auxiliary, in addition to the ordinary modes of circulating the Word of God, to em ploy an intelligent pious person, as an agent, to visit the abodes of the poor and ignorant, whom there is no other means of reaching, for the purpose of inducing them to take an inte rest in the Holy Scripture, and to become purchasers by weekly or monthly subscriptions. Jewish Institution. The object of this Institution is to provide a temporary asylum for enquiring and converted Jews, and after eighteen mouths experience, it has amply answered the benevolent intentions of the promoters. While the inquirer can obtain relief for a time, where he the mode be protected against the persecutions of his b re th ren , of living is so plain as not to offer an inducement to false or insincere professions. M uc h good is being done ; but the fonds are so inadequate that unle ss f r i en d s come forward more liberally with their means, the whole institu tion must be given up. Irish Sunday School Society, To promote the establishment and facilitate the conducting of Sunday schools in Ireland, by disseminating the most approved principles for the. management of such schools, by supplying them with spell.ing-book s , and copies of the S acre d Scriptures, or extracts, without note or comment, either gra tuitously or at reduced prices. Society for Promoting Christianity amongst the Jews. The name of this Society sufficiently explains 'its object. It is to lead the lost sheep of the house of Israel to that Sa viour whom they crucified. Christians are under a heavy obligation to th e J ews , for it was by them that the Sacred A r olun-te was pre serve d, and to them they stand indebted for Christianity itself. Buie they should feel interested on their behalf, not only for the blessings of the past, but on account of the glory that is in store for the world when the Jews shall be restored to their own land. There are 50 Agents in connection with the Society, and of these, eight church clergymen and twenty-tliree missionaries are converted Jews. The Society has the strongest claims upon all Christians. Achill Mission. Dingle rYlission. The whole income of all the above Societies together, in the wealthy an d 200,000 an d important town of Li ver p oo l, w i t h a popula tion of abov persons, amount s t o li tt l e more than £3OOO. Surely there are 20,000 persons in the town (a tenth of the population), who could afford ss. per annum to the whole of the above Societies together, and this would produce £5OOO. Or, are there not ten congre gations, from each of which 500 persons could be found willing to subscribe 2s. 6d. per annum to any of the above of which they approve ; and this alone would produce £5OOO. Let every one do something, be it ever so small, and tbe funds of all will shew a vast increase at the end of 1840, when, God willing, I hope again to lay the finan cial state of the various Societies before the public. In the mean time, I shall be most happy to give every information in my power respecting the operations and general effi ciency of all the above associations. Collecting Boxes and Cards may be had by any one who will kindly take charge of them. J. C. TO THE PUBLIC Or LIVERPOOL AND ITS NEIGHBOURHOOD. H AVING been appointed to take the Management of various Societies connected with the Town of Liverpool; I feel it my duty to lay their several claims plainly and c rly before yOn. The very little support which even the most f oured of them have received, considering the wealth an importance of the Town, must be accounted for. 1 i ids , ifie, from their objects and views not having been prorpintly brou g ht be fore all cl asses o f t h e I nha bi tants. I may just state, in corroboration of this, that there is not one person, out of every hundred in Liverpool, who subscribes to any of the charities of the town, and not one in ten (whose names appear in the Directory) who subscribes to any of these charities, and of these it may fairly be presumed that scarcely the name of one appears who might not subscribe something. I will now give a brief summary of the objects of the va rious Societies, and shall be in attendance at my Office every day, from Ten to Four o'clock, where I shall he most happy to receive Donations or Subscriptions, large or small, to any or all of the following Associations. Your obedient Servant, JOSEPH CRISP, 33, Church-street. Liverpool Protestant Association. The object of this Association is,—First, to combine in one Christian brotherhood of self-defenceall who truly love true re ligion and genuine liberty ; all who sincerely advocate the free circulation of the unmitilated and unadulterated Word of God ; all who assert and defend the right of private judgment ; all who venerate the inviolable sanctity of an oath ; all real loyalists who maintain the unrivalled and universal supremacy of the King or Queen of England within these realms, and renounce, abjure, and detest any allegiance whatever to any foreign power or potentate, ecclesiastical or civil. This is the direct object of -our -Protestant Assoei:dlon, considered in 1 its Scriptural foundation, and its national exercise. Our second object is, to address ourselves with earnest affection to those of our fellow-countrymen who have the misfortune still to labour under anti-scriptural and anti-national ,pre judices ; who are denied the free circulation of the pure word of God, and the right of 'private judgment ; who are taught that oaths, under certain circumstances, may and ought to he violated ; and who are commanded to yield their first and highest allegiance to a foreign ecclesiastical authority. The alarming spread of Popery, and the apathy of British Protestants, render the exertions of this Society of the most vital importance to the well-being of the' country, and the.: continuance of the invaluable blessings of civil and religious liberty. The mode of working is, by Petition, Public Meetings, and the circulation of Tracts, &c. containing useful and important information. The Association being now in active opera tion, stands much in need of increased funds. The rule of the Society constituting membership, is as follows :—" That all persons professing faith in the Holy Trinity, and being members of, or friendly to, the Established Church of Eng land and Scotland, who shall subscribe five shillings annually, or give a donation of one guinea at any one time, shall be Members of this Association." Church Missionary Society. The objects of this Society are so well known that it is needless now to recapitulate them. I would, therefore, merely add, that the deficiency in the Society's funds of nearly £ll,OOO, and the strong and urgent calls from India for more Missionaries, render the claims of the Society more than ever pressing.

W HENCE can it arise that the obvious security and ad vantages of Life Assurance should be so little regarded in Liverpool ?—that its inhabitants, as remarkable for pru dence as for enterprise, should, on this point alone, .he so reckless ? Of the thousands who are toiling early and late to provide for their families, many must drop off long before that object can be accomplished ; yet how few have Assu rances upon their lives, and for this the Mason usually as signed is, " that they have not had timf to think of Life Assurance." They have time for every commercial opera tion, however unimportant, but they have no time for one transaction of half an hour, requiring only an annual pay ment afterwards, to place their families beyond the reach of want after their death—an event rendered not less probable by the fatigue and anxieties of commercial life. Hardly a vessel leaves the Thames without the captain and passengers of ships belonging to London having Assured their Lives ; whilst from the Mersey thousands proceed annually to the States, to British America, the East and West Indies, and to the great nation now rising up in Australasia, largely in debted to Liverpool merchants, but without Assurance upon their Lives. The Directors of the Australasian, Colonial, and General Life Assurance and Annuity Company, have the pleasure to announce that they will be represented in Liverpool by Messrs. KIRKBY and WATSON, of No. 20, Water-street, who will afford every facility for the immedi ate despatch of Commercial and other Life Assurance, and through their Agency the peculiar advantages of this Com pany are respectfully tendered to the inhabitants of Liverpool and its vicinity.

Establishment permanently at No. 38, SEEL-STRE 7 eight doors from Berry-street. They continue to fill s the cavities of De cayed Teeth with their Mineral Marmoratum, without the least pain, heat, or pressure ; it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, pre venting and curing the Tooth-ache, arresting all further pro gress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction unnecessary. The Mineral not only converts a mere shell into a sound and useful tooth, but, by completely stopping up the cavity, prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of he breath which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth. Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums, there are none more destructive in their effects, or more kenerally prevalent, than Scurvy ; and it is well known that the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. To those so affected, Mons. La DRAY and Co. have to inform them, that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint by a single application, without the slightest pain. Artificial and Natural Teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed from one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or giving any pain, without springs, wires, or ligatures, an swering all the purposes of Mastication and Articulation, remaining perfectly secure in their places, and may be taken out and replaced by the wearer with the greatest facility,— at the following Paris charges : A single Artificial Tooth A complete Set A complete Set of Natural Teeth, on fine gold plate An entire Set of Natural or Terro Metal lic Teeth, highly finished, in the first style, with fine gold sockets, usually charged 40 guineas Loose Teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, or mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied. Artificial Teeth out of repair, remodelled to fit the mouth, and restored equal in beauty and durability to their original state. Attend ince from Nine till Seven, and on Sundays from Nine till Two.

Her Majesty's Ministers having thus incapacitated me from coming forward as a Candidate for the Representation of the Southern Division of the County, in event of a disso lution of Parliament occurring this year, I have only to return my warmest thanks to those who honoured me with their support, and, at the same time, to express my sense of the civility I experienced in the course of my canvass from those to whom I am politically opposed. The subjoined Correspondence has taken place betifeen her Majesty's Secretary for the Home Department and me. I beg to remain, Gentlemen, With much respect, Your very faithful Servant, .1. TOLLEMACHE. Tilston Lodge, Jan.3l, 1840. Tilston Lodge, Tarporley, Artir, 19, 1839. Mr LORD,—Having seen my name on the Sheriff's list for the County of Cheshire, I take the liberty of addressing this letter to your Lordship, as her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Home Department. Yesterday afternoon it was communicated to me that a Requisition signed by a large body of the Gentry and Electors of this County, would be presented in a few days, calling on me, in the event of a dissolution of Parliament, to offer my self as a Candidate for South Cheshire. I therefore beg to express a hope that Her Majesty's Mi nisters will not appoint me Sheriff, and thus, probably, de prive a large body of the Electors of the county of Cheshire of the power of bringing forward, at the next Election, a Candidate whom they wish to be their Representative in Parliament. Waiting your Lordship's reply, I have the honour to be, my Lord, Your most obedient humble Servant, J. TOLLEMACH E. To the Marquis of Normanby, &c. &c. &c. Whitehall, November 21st, 1839. SIR,—I am directed by the Marquess of Normanby to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 19th instant, in which you apply to be exempted from serving the office of Sheriff for Cheshire, and to acquaint you that your letter has been forwarded to the Lord President of the Council. I have the honour to he, Sir, Your obedient Servant, T. M. PHILLIPS. J. Tollemache, Esq., Tilstone Lodge, Tarporley. - • • THE celebrated Cordial BALM of SYRIACUM, or NATURE'S GRAND RESTORATIVE. There is nothing more remarkable in the social habits of the present day, and more particularly in those of the past century, than a general disregard to the maxims of prudence in regard to health and enjoyment. Hence the vast multi tudes who, having acquired the portion of an enfeebled con stitution, are doomed to the class of habitua - valids. Their minds anxious, unsteady, or sluggish rid their bodies weak , the natural functions of life ar charged laboriously, with pain and difficulty. For this s to of nervous derange ment, the celebrated CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUAI will be found to have peculiar efficacy, strengthening the lan guid system and shedding new hope on the mind. A perse verance in its use has been the happy means of relieving many thousands, and of restoring a great number to the per manent enjoyment of life. It is remarkable for its efficacy in all disorders of the digestive organs, and is especially recom mended to those who, 'from the irregularities of youthful age, habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing train of symptoms commonly denominated the NERVOUS. In such persons the mental are not less enfeebled than the corporeal, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, with out interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable. Its primary object is to relieve those persons who, by an immoderate indulgence in their passions, have ruined their constitutions and brought on a perfect tabis dorsalis ; or, in their way to the consummation of that deplorable malady, the affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous system, obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu larity, weakness, total impotency, barrenness. &c. But the relief the CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM ge nerally administers is not confined to these alone : the latitudinarian by birth, who has received from his parents the inheritance of a diseased and unprolific frame—the deli cate female, whom an immured and inactive life, together with an immoderate use of tea and other weak and watery aliments, has, without any fault of hers, brought on all the calamitous symptoms of a consumptive habit, and are, with out timely assistance, sinking into a premature grave ! Such as these, under Divine Influence, the Cordial Balm of Sv riacum will restore to the enjoyment of all the comforts of life. It is universally admired, being pleasant to the taste and smell, gently astringes the fibres of the stomach, and gives that proper tensity which a good digestion requires. To the young it will afford lasting health, strength, and spirits, in place of lassitude and debility, and to the aged and infirm it will assuredly furnish great relief and comfort, by gently and safely invigorating the system. It will not give immortality, but if it be in the power of medicine to gild the t autumn of declining years, and ca l m l y an d serene ly protra c t the close of life beyond its narrow span , t hi s re storative capable of effecting this grand desideratum.

THE Per ANTELOPE.—One of our men caught a young antelope; which he brought to the camp upon his saddle. It was a beautiful and most delicate little creature, and in a few days became so tame as to remain with the camp without being tied, and to drink, from a tin cup, the milk which our good missionaries spared from their own scanty meals. The men christened it " Zip Koom ;" andit soon became familiar with its name, running -to them when called, and exhibiting many evidences of affection and attachment. It became a great favourite with every one. A little pannier of willows. was made for it, which was packed on the back of a mule; and when the camp moved in the mornings, little Zip ran to his station beside his long-eared hack, bleating with impa tience until some one came to assist him in mounting.— Tatenseend's Sporting Excursions in the Rocky Mountains. PERSONAL APPEARANCE OF PRINCE ALBERT.—The countenance of his highness is round, and devoid of colour ; the forehead moderate, its greatest breadth being above the outer angle of the eyes, forming projections where phrenolo gists place the organs of music and order. The hair, worn straight and entirely off the forehead, is not what is termed "fair," but is a light hue, much like that of her Majesty. The brows are broad, lowest at the inner angle, and but slightly arched. The eyes, cheerful in expression, are of a greenish hazel, and not large. The nose rather long, with a slight depression below the bridge, and another rise at the point, somewhat similar in profile to that of the late .Lord. Byron. The mouth is moderate, the lips well coloured, sur mounted by a narrow short moustache, which, with the brows and eyelashes, are rather lighter in tint than the hair. In figure his highness is slight, and not tall ; hut his carriage is erect, mid his movements active. AFRICAN SHEEP.—The African sheep generally are co vered with fur or hair, instead of wool; and when these skins are properly cleaned and dressed, and a number of them sewed together, they form a much warmer covering than could be made from any other materials. The boors, who are enabled by their immense flocks to select only such as have a smooth fur, obtain a handsome kombaars, or coverlet,. so unlike what a European would imagine for sheep skins, that many persons would not even guess from what animal it was made. Those which I have brought to England have often been viewed as the skin of soineunknown animal. Few furs can be more beautiful than the selected skins of lambs thus prepared ; and, if prejudice did not stand in the way, I think they might supplant many which are seen in our fur riers' shops. Such a branch of commerce might prove not unimportant to the colonists or to the colony in general; it might open a new source of profit. and turn to better ac count those innumerable flocks, for the rearing of which the, greater part of the Cape of Good Hope seems by nature pe culiarly adapted. Since the Cape, it seems, is not so fortu nate as to possess a climate and herbage, like New South Wales, suited for the growth of the finest wools, it may prove equally favoured in having such as to give to its sheep a soft and useful fur.—Rurcinll'sls-.anels irt .Scut ern Africa. - VARYING A DANCE.—in the very heart of evening, and immediately after a long and lively dance, some one calls for torches and sledges. Let no man be afraid of taking cold, or talk scientifically about draughts of air. A long bundle of fir lathsgas combustible as the turpentine itself, is brought you by way of a torch ; the night is pitch dark, or at least ought to be so, you hurry on your .driving geir, and put yourself in a sledge. No lady' thinks of the chill air. One and all, they take to the sledges, and tru.steo their drivers, of which perhaps forty . or fitty Stare all in a row, with their fir tree torches blazing like beacons, blown about by the' wind, and scattering their red sparks in every direction. There is no lack of noise ; forty sledges, with two persons in each, do not travel without noise, even over the smoothest road. Perhaps the steeds are froward. so much the worse for the driver; if he flounders he will be run over,; for the cavalcade loves n o t t o s t op i n it s careen Those who would shine in the chariot-race should not give the torch to his partner, but hold reins and all (whips are not wanted) them selves, and toss and wave their timing brands over their own heads, and across the backs of their horses. When the road leads up a hill, and through a dark fir-forest, the sight .of waving fires, galloping horses, and the flame-c o l oure d snow, contrasted with the bl ac k gloom of the trees aroudd, is doubly striking. All but your ,own immediate atmosphere: is dark; the dense thicket, penetrated by no star,.serving as a window-shutter. Provided that the wind blows, and the laths keep a light, and no steed stumble, and no lady scream, torch-driving is a grand sight. When the roads are good, and the snow packs closely, it is well for two trains to meet, for then the drivers may salute each other by crossing their torches. A good cavalcade looks like a train of comets broke loose, or a party of firemen at their recreations. Such as read Greek, think of the torch-racaof the ancients: I had to think of keeping my horse's head straight. . When the torches are burnt out (as after about twenty minutes they generally are) the party returns home in the dark, which now seems twice as gloomy as it did before, through its contrast with the late blaze. Dancing recommences. Glasses of brandy are taken medicinally. No one catches cold.— Latham's Norway. DAILY LIFE AT CHRISTINA.—A person, let us say in the month of June, at the Hatel du Nord, passes his day much in the following manner. He breakfasts in his own room, on coffee and whatever else lie chooses to order; at two o'clock he dines at the t a bl e d'h3t e , w h ere h e may meet, perhaps, half a dozen of his own countrymen, a few Ger mans, some of the unmarried merchants of the town, tied some professors of the university. His dinner will eonellt of fish ; to which, in deference to the Norwegian rule that .fish must swim, he will drink some red wine, most probably Medoc. In joints, the Scandinaviahs are not allowed to shine ; but a beefsteak can be got there as easily and as good as in England. London (or Got tenburg) porter, Seltzer water, and champagne, or, what is better, a mixture of the two, can be had by calling for. If there be game, it will be grouse ; and pudding and cheese wind up the meal. There are soups, as it hap pens : the natives, we will observe, generally throw in a glass of brandy. Their example is very well to follow, if you mean to stay but a short time in the country, and to make few or no acquaintances : unless, however, you mean to do so, it is well to economise your powers of potation. There is so much of necessary drinking in the way of healths and pledges, that superfluous drams should not be indulged in. _Afterwards, you go down into a parlour on the ground floor (the bar), and take a cup of coffee ; after this, you can either go to sleep or play at billiards. There is a billiard table at the house, at which visitors can play gratis. The habit of drinking tea, at least in the summer, may be dis carded after crossing the Baltic. If you think of walking about Until it gets dusk, and then going to bed, you will have to promenade for about three weeks. There is no darkness at this season of the year. Return to your inn about half past seven.or eight, aud_thtsn take supper : strawberries and cream is the grand dish at present—mountain, or it least hill strawberries and cream, of richness unknown .to the Southron. If this does not suit, there is a carte; so -that you may order according to your fancy.—Lathan' Norway. ELIZABETII FIGG'S ACCOONT OF THE MISERIES OF A STEAMER.—My berth is the uppermost one, and I have to climb up to it, putting one foot on the lower one, and the other away out on the washhand-stand, which is a gieat stretch, and makes it very straining ; then I lift one knee on the berth, and roll in sideways. This is very inconve nient to a woman of my size, and very dangerous. Last night I put my foot on Mrs. Brown's face, as she lay asleep close to the edge of the lower one, and nearly put out her eye; and I have torn all the skin off my knees, and then I have a large black spot where I have been hurt, and my head is swelled. To dismount is another feat of horseman ship only fit for a sailor. You can't sit up for the floor overhead; so you have to turn round and roll your legs out first, and then hold on till you touch bottom somewhere, and then let yourself down upright. It is dreadful work ; and not very decent for a delicate female, if the steward happens to come in when yon are in the act this way. I don't know which is hardest, to get in or out of the berth— both arc the most difficult things in the world, and I shall be glad when lam done with it. I am obligated to dress in bed afore I leave it, and nobody that hasn't tried to put on their clothes lying down can tell what a task it is. Lacing stays behind your back, and you on your face - , nearly smothered in the bed-clothes, and feeling for the eyelet-hole with one hand and trying to put the tag in with the other, while you are rolling about from side to side is no laughing matte r . Y es t er d ay 1 fastened on the Pillow to my bustle by mistake in a hurry, and never knew it till people laughed, and said the sea agreed with me, I had' grown so fat ; but putting on stockings is the worst, for there aint room to stoop forward ; so you have to bring 1 your feet to you, and stretching out on your back, lift up your leg till you can reach it, and then drag it on. Corpu lent people can't do this easy, I can tell you. It always gives me the cramp. and takes away my breath. You would pity me, if you could conceive, John, but you can't; no, nobody but a woman can tell what a female suffers being confined in a berth at sea.—Sant Slick's Leiter-bag of the Great Western. A TORNADA.—In Sillimans' American Journal of Science and Arts, for July, 1839, there is a very interesting account of an extraordinary tornado, from which we shall transcribe the following portion :—" Having visited and examined the scene of the tornado, as well described by Mr. Willis Gay ford, of Otisco, Onondago County, New York, in the Genessec Farmer, Nov. 10, 1838, we can also bear witness to the tremendous devastation which that whirlwind produced. We were on the ground in September, about two months after the event. Before the tornado a region of 400 or 500 acres had been covered by a dense forest of pine trees, many of them very tall and large; roads had been cut through this forest and a few solitary houses were planted in it, here and there. Now we looked in vain for a single perfect tree. Those which had not been uprooted or broken in two near the ground, where shivered and twisted off at differenfeleva tions, leaving only a portion of a shattered trunk, so that not a single tree top, and hardly a single branch, were found standing in the air; there were, instead, only mutilated stems, presenting a striking scene of desolation wherever our eyes ranged over the now almost empty aerial space. On the ground the appearances were still more remarkable. The trees were interwoven in every possible way, so as to form a truly military abattis of the most impassable kind, nor im mediately after the gale could any progress be in fact made through the gigantic thickets of entangled trunks and branches, without the labour of bands of pioneers, who cut off the innumerable logs that choked every avenue. We bad before ; e such vv h i a e h p e u r l f e e c ul t , iek andbefore seen many avenues made through forests by winds, prostrating the trees arid laying them down in the direction of its cotairsgey; never, movement, ha d w e desola tion by lofty forest and the strongest framed buildings vanished in an instant, and their ruins were whirled irresistibly around like e ruins s l ( i ) ft theirlNa s truly house houses, and travellers wonderful tha t gyratory b g u ° r s i s ed n in e r t h . With their horses and cattle were exposed to this driving storm of trees which literally p fl e v o in pfe l we leaven e e no o t r filled the air, and still not, a single life was lost. GAS COOKING APPARATTTS. -- This is truly an _age of improvement —au age of wonders ! Steam and gas are driving out of existence many of those powers and agents which have been in existence for centuries, which, by our forefathers, were considered the very acme of perfection, and in their stead have supplied us with light and heat, combined with safety and cheapness, altogether unparalleled in the history of the world. Amongst the many uses to which gas has recently been applied, there are none more perfect, more cheap, or more expeditious than that of cooking by it; of which we have, within the last few days, had ample demon stration. Mr. Rippingate, of this place,. (Retford) has recently had fitted up an apparatus so commodious n as to cook a dinner for twe n ty p eop l e , ye t stan di ng on a space of ground not exceeding one square yard ; and whilst every process of boiling, roasting, baking, &c. is in full operation, there is so little of exterior heat and smell, that a person might go out of the air into the kitchen, without knowing that any extraordinary process seas in operation. Besides, this process is peculiarly adapted to the roasting of. meat, poultry, game, &c. All the heat which in cooking by the ordinary means escapes up the chimney, is here concentrated, and being applied equally to all parts, the meat is riot liahle to be scorched or burnt, but is brought up to the table a beautiful brown colour, all the nutritio us juices being retained, and the flavour decidedly improved : besides the additional desideratum that of being at a trifling expense oombiued with a saving of labour, and the total absence of all dirt or dust arising from ashes, dust, &c. At one and the same time within this small compass, a piece of beef, 201 b. in weight, may be boiling, whilst another of the same - Size may be baking. A leg of mutton, and a large.sized:lislimy be making ready for the table ; whilst a Yorkshire pttdding , a plum pudding, pies, fowls, game, vegetables, are 'all pro gressing at th e same period, either at a ,quickor-4,46.w,pace.; at the opti on o f the cook , - and all this, when competed, an. its contents ready for the table, at a 'CoSf,`.etialic 'fraction under t wopence ! This is a true relation of the rtpabilitie s of this wonderful invention, without entimerating : the advan tages of always having a plentiful supply. 7 4syater,. a place for warming the dishes auJ plates, a, rest 41,r for the dripping, &c. &c. We have seen it in aetive'o ,T4ion, :we have tested th e e ff ec t s o f it, powers, and think - 4 e- tune can. not be far distant when, in every town where gas is manufac tured, it must come into use, and prove itself to, be ,one of the most useful and economioal disgoveriee whitliibe present age has yet wittissse4.
