It is probable that they hate received their cue from the Home-office, the presiding genius there being just the man to play off a false light. O'Connell, however, must needs laugh in his sleeve; for he and the ministers perfectly understand each other.

"In Lord Ebrington, Lord Mor peth, and Mr. Norman MsDonald, (say the reviewers,) we have still everything which 'the circumstances of the case require; their fidelity to the good cause cannot be suspected." Now what is this good cause? The re viewers shall themselves answer to the interrogation. They say—" We have, by our own fearless, well-di rected energies, won emancipation—we have chained down to earth the old Orange oppressor—we have swept away half the spurious prelacy by which our sa cred soil was contumittated—we have shut up many of the stone and mortar things they called ' churches by law established.' " This is the " good cause"! This is the end which, according to O'Connell and Co., her Majesty's ministers aim at, and their "fidelity," it seems, " cannot he suspected." The Protestant Church is a mere thing of stone and mortar, and contaminates the soil; our bishops are a spurious prelacy; and the whole are of course to be swept away when the Pro testants are foolish enough to concede to their oppo nents the power of doing it !

He hath dolt The cumbrous helm of steel, and flung aside The yet more galling diadem of gold •, While, with a leafy circlet round his brows, He reigns the king of lovers 'and of poets " Hush We are now about to intro dnce you to the statesmen, the orator, the novelist, the poet, the historian, the philosopher, the dramatist, the magazine writer, the coxcomb, the dandy, the man of fashion, the man of the world—THE MAN of all men—the observed of all ob servers, the great Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer, of No-place, Nowhere, (as Lady Billwer says), M.P. for the borough of Lincoln, and a distinguished supporter of her Majesty's pre sent administration. Be silent, then, and listen with reveren tial awe to what we have to discourse of this most exalted man! Bow down, Oh ! reader, at the shrine we are about to elevate—bow down with fear and trembling before the great Sir Lytton ! An ill-natured scribbler of our acquaintance once made these lines of Mr. Thomas Moore apply to Bulwer : " Of all speculations the market holds forth The best that I k now of, to a lover of pelf, Is to buy up Sir Lytton at the price he is worth And to sell him at that which he sets on himself." Now, although we are not prepared to say that Bulwer is not vastly overrated, we cannot admit that he is altogether valueless. There is sonic " good stuff" in the man, though it is almost lost amongst his affectation and conceit. He is a clever fellow enough for a whig, perhaps as clever as whig can be. This, to be sure, is not saying much ; for the de gree of cleverness to which any whig can reach is, as com pared with that of a conservative, very trifling. To w h a t . cause so extraordinary a circumstance is to be ascribed we' are not prepared to say ; all we know is that such is the fact —" 'tis true, and pity 'tis 'tis true." But t o return :—it must not be supposed that Sir Lytton Bulwer is by any means qualified to play an important part in the manage ment of public affairs. Were you to take his own word for it, you would believe that he is one of the most eminent statesmen of the dad, and likely to become one of the great est, if not the very greatest, statesmen that ever lived. But, my dear readers, p..in must not believe nor report anything of the sort. Bulwer is no statesman, nor ever will be; he knows no more about statesmanship than Mr. Joseph Hume tic; he has no mind to conceive, and any great national measure. He might !ed produce anti succeed in passing a bill enacting that a particular farce or a certain play shall or slt!! not be played in a certain theatre ; out to expect to see him the author of any undertaking of a higher character, heaven help you! to see Mr. Joseph Hume work "thilon.

It seems to us, therefore, that Bulwer has not the shadow of a claim to any place, however low or humble, in the ranks of statesmen; and when we hear that claim seriously urged, we have no..hesitation in asserting that it is totally unfounded, and that it is preferred merely to sa tisfy the enormous conceit of the hon. baronet. strongest and v try, and i discover thei: he has been t As a "Politic it C:miactet ' Bulwer is entirely unknown. lie scarcely, we may say never, takes any . part in the discus. sion of public toeu,ores. Once upon a tiwe he fancied that he was to astonish the world with his doings in the senate; And he made many attempts to prove that there was some thing in him, but alas! all his attempts were miserable failures. He spoke often and long, and his speeches were at first listened to with attention ; but his bearers soon got tired of them, until eventually he was either coughed down or left alone in his glory, talking to empty benches. His style of delivery was affected in the extreme, his gestures, the tone of voice in which he spoke, the matter of his speeches, and the self satisfied look of profound wisdom in which he delivered the most trumpery, common-place re marks, 'all conspired to create positive disgust 1 this continued for some little time, until at last Bulwer found his level amongst the very small fry of the ministerial benches. lie is now nobody. No one cares a rush for his opinion on any public question; no one ever thinks of asking whether he spoke, and on what side, or whether he voted, and on what side, when any important subject is under consideration iu the house. He is no use whatever to his party, except to assist them in their many great emergencies with his solitary vote. Yes, there he sits, the author of many clever works, the man who fancies himself equal to any undertaking, the man who writes, and writes about every imaginable subject, and who does really and truly possess some ability—there he sits, we say, like an automaton, acting and moving exactly as he is ordered, doing what Le is bidden, without daring to murmur—a mere tool in the hands of a Whig minister. Oh what a monstrous degradation ! It would be out orour province to dwell upon Sir Lytton Bulwer's literary demerits. As an author be is of course known, more or less, to every one of our readers. His novels are cleverly written, and his plays are cleverly con structed ; but, as for his poetry, ye gods! it is sad stuff. Had Sir Lytton Bulwer confined himself to that sphere for which his talents fit him, he might now be in a more distinguished position than he is, in spite of his baronetcy. It is to be hoped that for the future he will cut statemanship, and philosophy, and poetry, and stick to novel writing : by so doing he may become a great man. Do my readers want to know what sort of a looking fellow Sir Lytton Bulwer is ? Look at every one of his works and you will there find a description of himself in some shape or other. Read Lady Bulwer's " Cheveley," and you will find what she, who knows him well, has to say of him ; unfortunately she says not much in his favour, either as a father or a husband. If you are too lazy to look in Bulwer's works or in " Chevelev" for a description of Sir Neddy's personal appearance, I "beg to tell you that he is one of the most outrageous dandies in existence, that his hair is frizzled and perfumed like that of the Marquis of Normanby : he is rather pale, and the ladies say he is handsome, Verhaps he may be ; but for all that I think he is pretty much of a apooney.

CONTEMPORARY PRESS LORD PALMERSTON AND THE QUADRUPLE • TREATIES. (From the Morning Herald.) Lord Palmerston has now upon his hands a REVO LUTION in Spain, an INSURRECTION in Portugal, and a BLOCKADE in Egypt. episoThes" in the current history of Eu -Ilustrate very clearly the wonderful pow which that distinguished states- rope serve to 2 eri of " pacification man possesses. His " quadruple treaty" to settle the affairs of Spain brought the Carlists to the very gates of Madrid, while the British auxiliary legion occupied the rabbit-warren of St. Sebastian. The Carlist forces failed to get pos session of the capital and the Queen's person, because among themselves, and mutual n lost them the advantages which the chiefs guar: arms Ead won The Carlist vanquishers of Evans and his legion were themselves vanquished by the treason of Maroto, 1-blooded murders of distinguished chiefs was a subject of great triumph with the Globe—a jour nal that claimed for Lord Palmerston all the honour and glory of Maroto's treachery and crimes. Nobody envied Lord Palmerston his position on the political platform where the Globe had pilloried him to imperishable disgrace. Even we felt some compassion for the unhappy secretary thus awkwardly immolated by a friendly hand. We thought that no British states man could have condescended to work with such an ensanguined tool as Maroto. But the Globe insisted that the whole merit of the policy, which substituted murder and treason for open and manly warfare be longed to our foreign secretary : He, and he alone, whose c was the PACIFICATOR of Spain ! Well, Spain is now in the midst of another revolu tion, The usurpers of the Queen's authority have got possession of the Queen's capital city, and, by the title of a successful revolt, have taken the cares as well as the profits of government on themselves. Such are the fruits of the " quadruple treaty of the West" in pacifying the kingdom of the Spanish peninsula. Is not Palmerston then a successful pacificator ? The quadruple treaty" of the East bids fairly to pro duce as much confusion and bloodshed as the " qua druple treaty" of the West has already done—probably a great deal more. It, is a treaty which, as Lord Pal merston says, is to afford " a solution of the compli cations of the Levant." We see already how it has begun to simplify those "complications." It operates by entangling all Europe in the meshes of Eastern policy. But it has a great resource for cutting away all difficulties in reserve. It is' the same instrument that was formerly used to cut the " Gordian knot"— Me sword. On the efficacy of the sword in adjusting the liti gated claims of the Sultan and Mehemet Ali do the "pacificators" of the East rely. So greatly do they rely upon it, that Palmerston sent the Pedroite naval hero, Commodore. Napier, to Beyrout, to instigate an insurrection in Syria, while the representatives of the " high contracting parties" to the quadruple treaty were waiting the result of the amicable and peaceful offers made to Mehemet Ali. But we turn with disgust from proceedings calculated to brand indelible disgrace upon the name of England. The consular agents of the four powers prattled in high strains of pompons rhetoric touching the " solid guarantee of treaties" by which European policy was distinguished, while Palmerston's commodore was ac tually taking active steps to prove that in as far as the quadruple treaty solemnly guaranteed peace with the Viceroy of Egypt until the period allowed for his ac ceptance or rejection of certain proposals should have expired. it was intended to be a mere elaborate piece of treachery and deception. A "blockade of Alexandria, commenced before the expiration of the time allowed by the quadruple treaty for Mehemet Ali to accept or reject the ULTIMATUM of the high contracting parties to that treaty," is quite in character with the proceedings previously adopted by Napier upon the coast of Syria. This is what the Globe calls " important news from the East." Very important, no doubt—but very discretitable also to the pacificators of the East, who seem to be in most inor dinate haste to rush upon hostilities. This is an age of discovery ; but the greatest of all the many-great discoveries of the nineteenth century, is that made by Lord Palmerston, who has discovered that Russia is the protectress of Turkey CANNING IN RETIREMENT The period which he spent at Hinckley, during the inter val which elapsed between his retirement from office after the duel with Lord Castlereagh, and his entrance Upon the Lisbon embassy, was a remarkable epoch in his life. It was with him undoubtedly a season of comparative seclusion, but it was one also of great and successful preparation. He lived at Burbach, a little village distant about a mile from town, which he had sought mainly for the benefit of his eldest son, whose health was in a most precarious condition, and whom he had placed under the care of the well-known Mr. Ches shyre. This son—he died at the age of nineteen, and Mr. Can ning's tribute to his memory is the most touching of all his writings—was a youth of remarkable promise, and indescri bably dear to his father. He Was indisputably his favourite child. In all his plans for the future, in all his visions of ambition, this son occupied a foremost place. He was an embryo statesman. His genius, discernment, quickness, and judgment were topics on which Canning delighted to dwell. The opinion and expectations which his father had formed of him may be gathered from this single fact, that whenever he had spoken at any length in parliament, the best and fullest report of the speech was sent down forthwith to George, who was required to write his father an elaborate and lengthened criticism upon it, pointing out where it was forcible and where it was defettive, where the language was happy, and where it was common-place, and distinguishing between what was mere declamation and what solid argu ment. " Can I think too highly of that child?" was the remark addressed by Canning on one occasion to his son's tutor, Mr. Hay. " You not only can, but do," was the honest and unhesi tating reply. Your second son is but little inferior to him in point of capacity ? and after all it may be that this infant" —pointing to Charles, who was born at Burbach—" may be the child destined to carry down to the succeeding genera tion your name and honours. " 1 am persuaded he will not," was Canning's quick re joinder. He was wrong. The random remark has proved prophetic. Captain Canning's career closed early ; and upon Charles, the infant referred to and scarcely noticed, have devolved the honour of his name and the association it recals. Most prominent among the vegetable oils is that pressed out of the nut of the crab-wood tree (Carapa Guianensis, ; it is used in the colony for burning, but at present small quantities are only manufactured by Indians, who anoint their hair with it, and the strength and fine gloss which dis tinguish it is ascribed to the use of that oil. They press like wise a sweet oil from the fruits of certain palm trees, chiefly from the Acuyuru (Astrocaryon aculeatum), and Cucurit palm (Maxiliana regia.) The number of woods which furnish valuable dyes is con siderable. I allude to the Brazil wood, the fustic-tree, the black dye of the Lana (Genipa Americana) and Serada, the red dye of the Maparakuni erythroxylum, different Malphig hidoe, and the useful dye Arnatto or Roucou, which thrives without care.* The Bignonia chica affords a dye similar to the Arnatto. The plant possesses it in such abundance, that it exudes like resin when the wood is wounded : it dyes a bright orange. To the same family belongs the Manariballi Jacaranda ovali and acuti-folia), which affords an excellent remedy against that dreadful disease; the yaws. A decoction of its leaves is given to the patient inwardly, and he is like wise directed to wash his body in it. Guiana possesses several trees, the bark of which'affords the principle of tanning. The bark of the Avicenuia tomen tosa, and a species of Malphighia, which is abundant on the savannahs in the interior, is much used by the Brazilians for that purpose. The heart of the mora tree is considered as valuable for tanning as oak. There are many fruits grateful to the palate, and whole some withal, which are the productions of the forests. Among a great number I mention only the pine-apple, the Guava, the Marmalade fruit, the delicious fruits of the Anona tribe, the Sapodilla, several species of Passiflora, the Brazil and Suwarrow or Sonari nuts ; the latter, which are the fruits of Cariocar tomertosum, and various others of the same ge nus, may be considered as some of the most delicious of the nut kind, and would furnish a sweet and bland oil. The leaves of some of the Bromilite which grow on the arid savannahs, furnish a fibre, of which the natives make thread and ropes : it is uncommonly strong and durable. The fibres of the Agave vivipara have been used for the same purpose, and those of the young leaves the Ita palm (Mauritia flexuosa) are woven into hammocks, ropes, and baskets, by the War ran and Arawaak Indians: these ropes do not, as at present manufactured, sustain long exposure or damp situations. The cultivation of the Piazabi palm (Attalea funifera) might prove of great importance. This palm is indigenous on the Rio Negro and the Cassiquiare ; and of its petioles :ordage is manufactured, which is extremely light: and floats upon the water, and is more durable in the navigation of rivers than ropes of hemp. It is extensively used in the Brazilian navy, and large quantities are exported to Para, and to many of the West India Islands. * It will scarcely he believed, that the Arnatto, which is so extensively used for colouring, is at present imported from France via New York, to avoid, like the slave-grown coffees, the foreign duty. It is in indigenous plant in Guiana; the banks of the Upper Corentyn are covered with it, but there are not sufficient people to render the natural productions of the colony of use. VARIETIES.

DRAMATIC LONGEVITY.—Madame Lange, the sister-in law of Mozart, for whom he composed many parts, is still upon tie stage of Vienna, and lately acted to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of her debut. A Mr. West, who was a dancer with Garrick nearly seventy years ago, lately took a benefit at the same theatre. PEARLS.—A letter from Vienna says, that the pearl fishery in Bohemia and Moravia has been very produc tive this year. These pearls, known by the name of Bohemian pearls, are found in the Moldawa. from Krumon to below Fnrenberg. This river furnishes every year from 300 to 400 pearls, athe purest water, and. very well shaped, besides several hundred imperfect pearls. The house of Schwartzen barg is proprietor of the greater parts of the banks. The Tae shells which produce the pearls are of a peculiar species, which it would be advantageous to increase. Besides the Moldawa is another small river, called the Wattawa, which produces a few pearls. They are not fished up, as in the - - - With the exceptions of his struggles in early life, Can ning's residence at Hinckley extended over one of the most gloomy periods of his life. Retirement from office, under circumstances of painful notoriety, had been the result of his duel with Lord Castlereagh. Early in May, 1812, Mr. Percival was shot by Bellingham. The Prince Regent then laid his commands on Lord Wellesley and Mr. Canning to form an administration. The project failed. The task was then entrusted to Lord Liverpool, who strongly urged Canning to join him ; and such was the anxiety of the existing administration to secure his services, that the foreign office was offered to him—Lord Castlereagh being a consenting party to an arrangement which would leave it open to Mr. Canning's a...:eptatice. This tempting proposal was firmly negatived, solely upon conscientious grounds. It was understood that the administration was pledged, as such, to oppose catholic emancipation. To this compact Canning declined being a party—and thus, while he preserved his consistency, and showed by the costly sacrifice which it entailed, the sincerity of his desire to carry the catholic question, he lost the oppor tunity of presiding over the foreign relations of the country, at a period when " events crowded into a few years the changes and revolutions of an age." But this interval, though spent in retirement, was fraught with preparation. There is a walk as beautiful as it it se. eluded. stretching from Burbach towards the village of Stoke Golding, known as Canning's walk. Along this he was seen, morning after morning, wending his way, always alone, ab sorbed in thought, and not unfrequently thinking aloud. He invariably declined having a companion for his walk, disliked amazingly being interrupted in the progress of it, and to any chance salutation by the way, his invariable reply was a silent bow. It was Lis hour of study. He was then forging weapons for the coming fight, in.pecti-g• his stores, and polishing his armoury. No weather deterred him. Through shower and sunshine he paced rapidly on. What subjects might not these long silent walks embrace ! In them how many a topic, ar gument, simile, invective, rebuke, was deliberately sought out and carefully laid up. Of the exquisite and elaborate finish bestowed on many of his lengthened speeches, who shall show how much may be traced to the severe scrutiny and re peated revision of his solitary rambles ! The music of his periods, the easy flowing language with which he rounded the the most unmanageable details, the remark of caustic irony, and the flash of cutting sarcasm, the epigrammatic point of a crushing, reply, when a word more or less would have mar red its force,—these are excellencies which could not have been attained in the perfection which he possessed them, without long and severe study. Was this his workshop ? About a mile and a h a lf f rom m Burbach stands ln old hall, to which some interest attaches, as being the residence which peculiarly attracted Canning's attention, and which he was most desirous to purchase, as " an asylum for his old age." Alas ! The offers which he made to induce the infatuated posses sor to part with it were beyond its value, and can be justified only by the extraordinary predilection which Mr. Canning had conceived for it. The more you examine Wyken Hall, the greater difficulty you experience in discovering its attrac tions for the statesman. It is a quaint old building, in the Elizabethan style, with huge and somewhat unshapely wings, much dilapidated by time, and, when I saw it, rapidly sink ing to decay from continued and undeserved neglect. It stands close upon the horse-road leading to Stoke Golding, in an exposed and rather bleak situation. On each side of the principal entrance are two yew trees of prodigious growth and great age, which throw a sombre air over the building, and materially darken the lower rooms. A plantation rises on one side, and some unsightly farm-buildings on the other. In the back-ground is the straggling, filthy, poaching village of Stoke Golding, perched on the summit of a high hill, top ped with its handsome church and splendid spire. In the foreground is a home view of pasture land, skirted to the left by Burbach Wood, and embracing to the right the town of Hinckley, its parish church and tapering spire. Wykcn Hall is now a farm-house ; the little lawn before the principal entrance is converted into a fold yard. Poultry ravage the 'pleasure garden—weeds flourish ad libitum in the plantation—the litter of a large farm is scattered thickly around the premises—and not one feature does it present, within or without, to corroborate the fact that it was once the coveted residence of one of the most accomplished of British statesmen.—Metropolitan. CAPABILITIES AND RESOURCES OF BRITISH GUIANA (From Schomburgk's Description, Si^c.) Among thi; British possessions in South America, Hon duras takes a great share in the export of timbers ; and though British Guiana neither possesses the log-wood nor the mahogany, it possesses other timber-trees and dyes equally useful; while Guiana has the advantage, that it may . be approached with less danger to the navigator than Hon duras, and is never subjected to hurricanes. In the foregoing remarks I have endeavoured to snake the reader acquainted with some of the trees which, with refer ence to their timber, are of importance to commerce. Of equal, if not greater value, are the trees and planks from which medical substances may be obtained, and which, at present unheeded and unsought for by the colonists, do not profit mankind, and may be con s id ere d b ur i e d r i c h es. I t would be in vain to attempt a description of all the medical plants with which the dense forest a the interior abounds. I shall therefore satisfy myself with enumerating the most remarkable. _ _ Trees which belong to the Laurel tribe are r y t e b r e y ie n e u r mero t 7s in Guiana, and are not only important fe and stomachic qualities, but likewise for the volatile oil which is obtained merely by making incisions in the bark ; this oil is used in rheumatic complaints, or in general exter nally as a discutient, and internally as a diuretic and diapho retic. It commands in the colony a price of ten guilders (145.) per quart : several quarts may be obtained by a single incision. The bark of Laurus Cinnamomides is warm and aromatic. The Mabaima or Amabaima of the natives, or Casca preci osa of the Brazilians, is a sweet, aromatic bark which comes from a tree that belongs likewise to the Laurel family. I have no doubt that the tree which furnishes the Sassafras nuts of the London shops (Laurus Pucheri) will be found in digenous in Guiana. The forests of Guiana produce plants which possess power ful febrifugal properties. On the banks which border the river Berbice in the fourth and fifth parallel the Quassia amara, or bitter ash ' and further south , the Por tlandia hex &mire, are t o be obtained in abundance. Several of the Anonaceae as Uvaria febrifuga (Frutta de Burro of the Co k'bians),, are used as a febrifuge.

DRAMATICS.—OId Wewitzer was joking and laughing at rehearsal, instead of minding 'the business of the scene. Raymond, who was stage-manager, took him to task for this, and said, " Come, Mr. Wewitzer, I wish you would pay a little attention." " Well, sir," answered Wewitzer, "so I am ; I'm paying as little as I can." A shopkeeper in Piccadilly, determined to astonish the world, had put up a motto from Euripides over his window. Bannister happened to be passing with Porson. " That is Greek," said Bannister. " What ! are you acquainted with Greek ?" asked the professor, with a laugh. " I know it by sight," was the reply. THE SCHOOLMASTER ABROAD.—A warehouseman, in Wood -street, Cheapside, London, wrote the other day to a correspondent in the country, requesting him to send up a pattern of a chintz which he had previously forwarded to him. The answer he received in return was as follows : " Sir, my clerk has took and Lin and gone and lost it." A silver coin, of Titus, was found in the rubbish of an old house, which was lately pulled down in Eastgate-street, in the city of Chester. In digging the foundation for the new building, a pavement was discovered at about 8 feet below the present' level of the street. This gives strength to the prevalent opinion, that the level of the city was originally that of the floor of the ancient cathedral, to which persons have now to descend by several steps.

A CHINESE DANDY. —Many persons have supposed, who only know the Chinese superficially, that a nation so grave, so sedate, and so monotonous, cannot include either fops or bon vivants. They are, however, mistaken ; few countries possess more of those worthies than China, though perhaps their talents are not carried to so great an excess as in other parts of the world. The dress of the Chinese petit maitre is very expensive, being composed of the most costly skins or carpets ; his boots or shoes are of a particular shape, and are made of the richest black silk of Nankin, the soles are of a certain height ; his knee-caps are elegantly embroidered ; his cap and button are of the neatest cut ; his pipes elegant and high-priced ; his tobacco of the best manufacture of Fo kien ; an English gold watch, a toothpick hung at his but ton, with a string of valuable pearls ; a fan from Nankin, scented with chulan flowers. Such are the appointments of a Chinese dandy. SINGULAR JEWISH CUSTOM.—Burkhardt in his 6 ` Travels through Syria, &c, informs us that at Tiberias, one of the four holy cities of the Talmud, the Jews observe a singii!ar custom in praying. While the rabbi recites the Psalms of David, or the prayers extracted from them, the congregation frequently imitated by their voices or gestures the meaning •of some remarkable passages ; for example, when the rabbi pronounces the words " Praise the Lord with the sound of the trumpet," they imitate the trumpet's blast through their closed fists. When " a horrible tempest " occurs, they puff and blow to represent a storm ; or, should he mention " the cries of the righteous in di s t ress ," th ey a ll set up a l ou d screaming ; and it not unfrequently happens that while some are still blowing the storm, others have already began the cries of the righteous, thus forming a concert which it is difficult for any but a zealous Hebrew to bear with gravity. TRANSPOSITION.—The number of varied arrangements which a given number of articles will admit of is astonishing, and the astonishment increases as the number of articles to be varied in arrangement is increased, because the ar rangements do not bear the same proportion in one case to the number to which they belong as they do to their number in another case. The numbers of articles 1,2, 3,4, 5,6, 7, 8,9, 10, admit of the varied arrangements respectively of 1, 2,6, 24, 120, 720, 5040, 40,320, 362,880, 3,628,800. Who would believe that ten volumes of a book arc capable of three million, six hundred and twenty-eight thousand, eight hun dred varied arrangements? Such is the fact. The rule for finding the number of varied arrangements belonging to a given number of articles is this :—Multiply the given num ber of articles to be transposed by itself less one, and that product by the last multiplier less cne, and so on till two has been the multiplier, and the result is the answer. THE GREAT RECOINAGE OF 1690.—Clipping and false coining had for some time been carried on to an alarming ex tent and at length aroused the attention of parliament, who appointed a committee to inquire into the abuse. The com mittee recommend a general recoinage as a remedy for the evil, when their recommendation was debated in the house, and finally adopted. The great coinage occupied nearly four years, and was completed in 1699. The total amount of silver coined was—in the Tower Mint, £5,091,121 7s. 7d. ; in the country mints, £1,791,787 12s. ; total £6,882,908 19s. 7d. The Mint charges amounted to £179,431 65., and the charges and the consequent losses are supposed to have been equal to £2,700,000. In our own time the extensive coin ages in the Royal Mint from the year 1816 to 1822 amounted to £7,402,236 lls. 6d.—Akerman's Numismatic Manual. THE GREAT WHITE EGRET.—A splendid specimen of this very rare bird was shot by Mr. Martin on Tyningbam Sands, on the 9th J une , an d i s the only individua l of this species ever obtained in Scotland. Although the species is mentioned by all writers on British birds, it does not appear that any of them ever saw a specimen procured in this country, or that any exists in our museums. It is said to be abundant in some of the southern and western parts of Europe, but in the eastern and northern to be of very rare and merely accidental occurrence. In size it exceeds the common heron, although of a more slender form ; its plumage is pure white, and the elongated filamentous plumes of the back extend about two inches beyond the end of the tail. ARCHITECTURE OF LONDON.—A t the present time it is extremely difficult to trace the domestic fire architecture of . Lon don through its different eras, as the epcceilrnei:ssaitapyheairc/;.neti.of s s t. toc most ancientChtir Charles e m c o i m s totallyt ens n owdestroyedremaining the a r e city the, lodg ings belonging to Westminster . Abbey in Dean y are hardly in point; yet we think there are no others' to found. They were in existence before the year 1336, a• be Abbat Lettingen, who built them, died in that year. The windows windows are small and pointed , and in this they are different from those till lately on the western side of Westminsteif Hall, built by Richard 11., which were of brick, and were the oldest specimens of the employment of that material in England, certainly in London. From the time of Richard 11. brick buildings continned to increase. In the reign of Henry VII. the style of architecture became so expensive, through the fashion of excessive ornament , that it could go no further, and a different taste succeeded, and after the de struction of the monasteries in the time of Henry VIII. stone was but little used, and the houses of the rich, whether in the city or the country, were almost always of brick. Among the exceptions to the use of that material in the man sions of the rich in London, was the splendid house of Sir John Crosby, in Bishopsgate-street, built in 1466. The knight surpassed the monarch in his ideas of grandeur. — Polytechnic Journal. ' nucu mountains the species which is said to yield that sub stance in great abundance. The lcica Carana produces a substance like gum elemi, the Icica acouchini the balsam of acnuchi, the Humirium floribundum, the balsam of umiri, the Amyris ambrosiaca, au immense tree, the fragrant resin of conima. The latter tree, called Haiowa or Sepou by the Indians, is most abundant. The Tonko bean is very fra grant, and possesses a volatile oil, which contains a peculiar principle called Coumarin. Several pieces of Anoniacete yield likewise a fragrant gum, highly prized by the Indians, and from their flowers essential oils might be extracted. Tl!;: lucust-tree, or Hymensea, furnishes the gum saline. It is found in abundance, and might be used as guni lac. Several species of Garcinia as well as Clusia possesses gamboge. The Dali, a specie s of Myristica, a large and majestic tree, is very frequent along the banks of rivers; its seeds when immersed in boiling water, furnish a vegetable tallbw, which has been used with effect for the preparation of candles by several colonists. Nloklawa, from the bed of the river, but taken from the shells thrown upon the blinks by the overflowing of the Watlawa. TRIUMVIRATE OF BOOKSELLERS.—Three individuals at this moment hare almost monopolised the bookselling trade in Germany. The most powerful of these is Baron Cotta, the proprietor of the Allgemeine Zeitunq. The baron is likewise proprietor of six literary periodicals, of a high stand ing, and is said to have from 300 to 400 editors in his pay. He is proprietor of the copyright of all the works of Goethe, Schiller, Ilerden, and Uhland. The second of these literary grandees is Reimer, of Berlin, who owns the copyright of all the works of Jean Paul, Tick, Kleist, Johannes von Mul ler, Novalis, and Schlegel. The third is Brockhause, of Leipsic, the proprietor of the " Conversations Lexicon," which alone employs the time and talents of 100 literary men. Brockhause is likewise the publisher of a most colossal en cyclopedia, which, when finished, will consist, at least, of 200 volumes; and a few months since he commenced a now daily paper, and is about to publish, at this moment, a pe riodical work t upon a most extensive and peculiar scale. JAMES Tllll FIRST AND THE MAYOR OF LONDON. — A good story is related of James the First and one of the Lord Mayors, in reference to the prosperity of the twin cities, and which, for its happy quiet laudation of the Thames, it would be unpardonable to omit. James being in want of twenty thousand pounds, applied to the corporation of Lon don for a loan of that sum. The . corporation refused, upon which the king, in high dudgeon, 'sent for the Lord Mayor and some of the aldermen, and, rating them in severe terms for their disloyalty, insisted upon their raising the, money for him, " Please your majesty," said the Lord Mayor, " we cannot lend you what . we have not got." " You must get it," replied the king. "We cannot," said the Lord Mayor. —" I'll compel you," rejoined the king. " But you cannot compel us," retorted the Lord Mayor. "No !" exclaimed the king; " then I'll ruin your city for ever. I'll make a desert of Westminster. I'll remove my courts of law, my parliament, and my court to York or to Oxford, and then what will become of you ?" " Please your majesty," re joined the Lord Mayor meekly, " you may remove your self and your courts wherever you may please; but there will always be this consolation for the poor merchants of Lon don—you cannot take the Thames along with you. DICKY SUISTT IN PAWN.—Suett, the comedian, had one son, of whom he was very fond. The boy had just come home from school for the holydays ; and walking down the Strand with his father, Suitt took him into a pastry-cook's shop to treat him to some tarts. After the lad had eaten as many as he could, Suett put his hand in his pocket to pay for them, when, lo ! there was no money there. Suett was much disconcerted, and said to the woman behind the counter, " Oh, la! don't you know me, i; sir."—" I am Mr. Suett, the comedian.' " No, ' The woman re- plied sulkily. "She could not help that."—Won't you trust me: mann?" said Dicky ; but the lady's look was enough, and he was fain to send his son home for the money, while he remained in the shop till his return. Here he ever mid anon poked his old face out at the door, exclaiming, " Oh, la ! ha ! ha ! Oh dear, la! 'Here's the great Mr. Suett, the comedian, in pawn for ten penn'orth of tarts ! Oh, la! only think—ha! ha! Pawned for ten penn'orth of tarts !" Bentley's Miscellany. ANOTIIIR CORSICAN VENDETTA.—Extract of a letter from Bastia :—" A farmer named Carrarra, 22 years of age, residing at Rapala, has just been assassinated in cold blood, in front of his father's house, while he was taking the air with some of hie neighbours, by a landed proprietor named Scribani, a man of bad character and violent temper. The latter having passed Carrarra without uttering a word, en tered his house, took down a loaded gun, returned to where Carrarra was walking with his friends, and discharged the contents of the gun into his bosom. Carrarra, bathed in blood, was carried "by his friends into his father's house, where he expired shortly after. Meanwhile the assassin gained a plantation adjoining the house, and in au hour after, when a large assemblage of people was collected before it, discharged his reloaded gun into the midst of the assembly, but fortunately hit no person. Scribani had become Car rarra's sworn enemy, because he suspected the latter of having acquainted the gendarmerie with the retreat of his brother, a deserter, whom they had shot in a rencontre with him. His suspicions, however, were entirely without foina dation. The murderer has not yet been taken." A MODERN DOG OF MONTARGIS.—The Gazette de Flea dres has the following narrative in a letter from Arras of the 16th of August :—A shepherd was journeying to Souastre, where his relations lived, for the purpose of passing some days with them. At night-fall he perceived three individuals approaching him from a field on the road side. The moment they reached his side they laid hold of his person, and de manded his money or his life. The poor man had nothing with him, and pleaded his penury. Incensed at their failure, confirmed by an examination of his person, the ruffians as saulted him violently with their heavy sticks. He struggled with them, when one of his opponents drew forth a knife and wounded him seriously with it. The unfortunate man fell, and was left for dead on the road. During the night the shepherd's relatives were awakened' by the singular barkings of a dog opposite their dwelling ; but the noise ceasing some time afterwards, they thought there was nothing about which it was necessary to trouble themselves. Next morning, how ever, having risen very early, they were greatly terrified upon opening a door at perceiving a bundle covered with blood lying outside, with the contents of which, upon opening it, they were but too well acquainted. They also remarked that the road which the bearer of the bundle had taken seemed to be indicated by traces of blood. They followed this track, and at some distance perceived the shepherd stretched on his back, apparently lifeless. A knife bad cut through the folds of his cravat. His dog, which had been Wounded in several places, apparently by the same knife, was by his master's tide, licking his wounds, and whining piteously. The unfor tunate man was carried to his relative's house, and their careful treatment restored him to life, and hopes are enter tained of his ultimate recovery. The dog had carried the shepherd's bundle to the house, and barked for assistance. Not succeeding in obtaining any, he had returned to watch over his master, until human aid came at length to his relief. PARRAKOETS.—This garrulous bird, which is held in such high esteem by the ladies of this country, both for the lively tints of its plumage, as well as for its loquacious propensities, is looked upon as one of the greatest annoyances the pea santry of Bengal are exposed to. In the still summer even ings, about an hour before sunset, long strings of these birds may be observed wending their noisy flight home, from the rice-fields, in which they are accustomed to feed during the day, to the deep " mango" forests, where they roost through out the night. The damage they inflict upon the standing crops of grain is incalculable, nor are they to be deterred from their spoliations by any threats that the peasantry may hold out to them ; but, despite of all the endeavours of the latter to scare them away, they will continue to cling to the rice straws, with the tenacity of locusts, committing the most disastrous ravages. Another remarkable circumstance con nected with these birds is this :—viz., that although kites, hawks, and other birds of prey, are abundant throughout India, yet not one of them will, however pressed by hunger, select the parrakoet as his quarry, so that the latter are more numerous than they otherwise would be. The plumage of this bird, in a wild state, and when in its native clime is far more lively and brilliant than it is in this country, and when a large flock of them rush forth in their flight, out of the trees, into the sun's beams, they convey to the eye of the be holder the fairy appearance of a shower of emeralds. IMPORTANT TO FARMERS. — The extent of the prevailing epidemic amongst cattle, and consequent loss to the farmer. as well as the risk which 'he public necessarily run through inducements too frequently held out, or facilities afforded for disposing of infected carcases, render any mode of certain cure highly important. It is with the greatest confidence that the following recipe is recommended for this purpose. It has been furnished by a gentleman of extensive experience in the rearing and breeding of stock ; and has been employed with invariable success in various parts of Yorkshire and Lancashire, where the complaint has been prevalent. Dose : Half a pound of sulphur, a quarter of a pound of Epsont salt, two ounces of saltpetre, and one pound of treacle—mixed, to be taken once a day. One•half of the above quantity will be a s , .fficient dose for yearlings. As the complaint is seated in the feet, the following wash should be used once a day : One ounce of rock alum, one ounce of blue vitriol—boiled in a quart of vinegar. The treatment here indicated, we re peat, has the sanction of successful experience in every case wherein it has been seasonably applied, and we cannot, therefore, too earnestly recommend it to farmers and others concerned in the rearing and management of stock.—New castle Journal.
