MILK PUNCH I THIS unique and nectarious Liqueur has, for nearly a 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 n ; but with that the present generation have nothing to ; suffice it to say, that this ELIXIR is now, for the very first time, introduced to the notice of the Lon vivant* of the northern parts of this great 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 " briny deep" with it in our possession; but should not Pro prietors 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 aye. LE GRAND GOURMAND will find it a most social companion to 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 judge, 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 heart of mankind.

MONS. LE DRAY, SURGEON-DENTIST, from the Firm of LE DRAY and CO., London. A. NEW DISCOVERY IN ARTIFICIAL TEETH, FIXED WITHOUT WIRES, SPRINGS, OR LIGATURES. SCURVY in the GUMS EFFECTUALLY REMOVED. LOOSE TEETH FASTENED. And filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Marmoratum. MONS. LE DRAY and CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respect fully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Liver pool and its vicinity, that they have opened an Establishment permanently at No. 38, SEEL-STREET ? eight doors from Berry-street. They continue to fill *'the cavities of De cayed Teeth with their Mineral Marnitoratum, 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 the 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 generally 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 it is the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. To those so affected, Mons. LE DRAY and Co. have to inform them, that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint by a single application, without the slightest pain. Mons. LE DRAY begs to introduce to the notice of his Patients and the Public, an entire new description of IN CORRODIBLE ARTIFICIAL TEETH, and can with confidence guarantee them to answer every purpose of Mas tication and Articulation, and defy detection from the closest observer. They never change colour or break, as those now used, are fixed without wires or ligatures, and have no un plesant odour or unnatural gloss. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will give support and preserve Teeth that are loose, at the following Paris Charges : A single Artificial Tooth A complete Set.... A complete Set of Natural Teeth, on fine gold plate An mature Set of Natural or Terro Metal lic Teeth, highly finished, in the flirt 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 tit the mouth, and restored equal in beauty and durability to their original state. Attendance from Nine till Seven, and on Sunday from Nine till Two. Vii` For the convenience of country patients, Monsieur LE DRAY and Co. are enabled to fix a partial or complete set of Teeth at one sitting, without the least pain or incon venience. .XO 10 0 .5 5 0 I Vb:76.

IN YORKSHIRE, WITH POSSESSION. The Beilby Grange Estate, with the Manor and Manorial Rights, Fishery, a Capital Residence, and a fine Demesne, nearly all Tithe Free, near to Wetherby, and contemporary in Fame with its neighbouring rival, the Ribston Hall Property. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has been honoured, by the instructions of LORD WENLOCK, to OFFER for SALE by PUBLIC COMPETIT! sN, at the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the ;.** of May, at Twelve o'clock, in One Lot, THE BEILBY GRANGE ESTATE, which has numbered more than two centuries in the family of the present worthy possessor. This fine freehold pro perty comprehends A MANSION OF SOME IMPORTANCE, erected at an expense approaching £30,000, with commen surate offices of every kind and description ; large and pro lific gardens, with conservatory and hot-houses. The Hall approximates upon the respectable market town of Wetherby, and is quite equal, and seems especially adapted to accom modate THE M. P. FOR THE COUNTY. Its approach, by a lodge of pleasing design, is from the high London, Edinburgh, and 'Glasgow road, through a finely wooded park. It is erected of stone, and is accounted, for its size, one of the most imposing buildings of the vici nity, and, in point of style and comfort, greatly exceeds the pretensions of the generality of houses in Yorkshire. The pleasure-grounds are disposed in admirable taste, with romantic walks progressing through the hanging woods, by the side of the beauteous river. THE DEMESNE EXTENDS TO ONE THOUSAND ACRES. It is within this scene of delight that CHRISTOPHER WILSON, ESQ., the Father of the — Turf, has luxuriated during a very long period, and it may be observed that, although the house is full of comfort, it is not too large for the views of a mode rate family. The rental is nearly TWO THOUSAND POUNDS A-YEAR, • exclusive of the manors, the fishery and the value of its waters ; and it is paid without a murmur. It is in the midst of field sports ; with Lord Harewood's and three other packs of fox hounds close at hand THE ANCIENT CITY OF YORK IS WITHIN FOURTEEN MILES, and its majestic Minster, towering high, 'is seen for many miles around. The river Wharfe adjoins the property for three miles, and the value of the water for machinery and mills is great beyond calculation ; it is navigable to within five miles, and the York and North Midland Railway, only seven miles off, will be completed in twelve months, and then the distance from Beilby Grange to the metropolis of London will be ACCOMPLISHED IN TEN HOURS. The high road from London to Edinburgh passes through the estate. THE TENANTRY ARE HIGHLY RESPECTABLE, and of long standing. It is en verite the precise thing for a sporting man, as the game is strictly preserved , in the midst of fox covers hunted by the highest rank in the country ; and the fishing as fine as any throughout Yorkshire. The neigh bourhood is remarkable for the high station of its leading occupants ; although there is abundant society for those who would mix with the influential and yet soar not quite so high as the great aristocracy. The river winds perpetually through A BEAUTIFULLY WOODED COUNTRY, embracing a lovely valley, while from the park and homestead a beautiful panorama, full of variety, is exhibited. In the picture will be seen the little Matlock, the suspended baths floating over the river, a peep at the hot and cold baths, and though last, not least, the salubrity of the air may be classed amongst the never ending agremens that claim a kindred feel ing here. In conclusion, it may safely be affirmed that for its extent, capability, and the quality of the soil, it will not yield to any contemporary through Yorkshire ; and this observa tion is made advisedly, Mr. R. having just had the gratifica tion of making his personal survey. It ought to be kept in mind by all those who incline to a high rate of interest, that . „ the larger portion of the grass land adjoins the river, com mencing from THE BRIDGE AT WETHERBY, to Collangl am ; it would consequently let to build upon at exceedingly high prices. The result of the sale of the DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE'S PROPERTY, when he alienated the town of Wetheiby, renders this a mat ter of certainty. The great portion of the property is TITHE-FREE, AND THE LAND TAX REDEEMED. Particulars are in preparation, and will be ready 28 days prior to the sale ; in the meantime Mr. Robins will be but too happy to afford any additional information to those capitalists who may be disposed to give him a visit.

I OXON'S EFFERVESCENT MAGNESIAN APE RIENT, for Indigestion, Bilious Affections, Casual or Habitual Costiveness, Piles, &c. &c., and as an invaluable cure and preventive of Gout. This elegant preparation of Magnesia, th e r esult of much study and experiment, is fast superseding all other medicines of its class, and is now very generally acknowledged to be the best purgative ever introduced as .a public medicine. The almost unprecedented sale which it has obtained has aroused the cupidity of many unprincipled persons, who are always ready to take advantage, of the p o p u l ar it y o f an other's i nve ntion ; and this medicine has therefore been very exten sively imitated, by Compounds possessing none of its pro perties. Purchasers can only rely upon the Government Stamp, which, in th e g enuine i . ticle, ul h l a ,, s , eci ‘ g M ra ° v x ed mi on an it d . Smith, (then co - par tners,) Chemists, H This is the only certain proof of the genuine preparation. Not being ranked amongst quack specifics, its valuable properties have obtained for it the recommendation of many members of the medical profession, (among oth ers th ose o f Drs. Graham and Turnbull,) and numbers of the nobility, clergy, and gentry of t he land. It is universally allo we d, by all who have given it a fair trial, to be superior to all other medicines as a FAMILY P arti cular) ;t and as an invaluable companion to the traveller, y hose visiting tropical countries ; the sportsman, the delicate female, the sedentary student ; and to all pers ons su bj ect to irregularities of the bowels, and the disorders resulting therefrom. A teaspoon ful taken after any excess, either in eating or drinking, will restore the tone of the stomach, and relieve all unpleasant symptoms. If taken regularly for some time previous to the usual time of experiencing a fit of Gout, it will generally prevent, and always mitigate the severity of the attack, without that injury to the constitution which is con s e qu e n t upon the use of colchicum and other strong sedatives. To those afflicted by Indigestion, Bilious Disorders, Sick headache, and all other affections caused by an imperfect performance of the functions of the digestive organs, it affords a pleasant and effectual remedy, its operation being at once effective and unattended by griping or other unpleasant symptoms. Testimonials from several medical and other gentlemen are inserted in the bill inclosing each bottle. Sold retail, at 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., and lls. each bottle, by all respectable Medicine Vendors ; and wholesale by Barclay and Sons, and all the Loudon Medicine Houses ; and Raimes, Edinburgh.

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.—Copy of a Letter from the Chevalier De la Garde, Chamber.. lain to Stanislaus, late King of Poland. To Mr. PROUT, 229, Strand. No. 20, Vere-street, Dec. 11, 1838. Sir,—l feel myself bound by the duty; j owe to my fellow creatures to request that you will publigh the following most extraordinary effects of BLAIR'S ROUT AND RHEU MATIC PILLS. For a period of more than thirty years I have suffered more than I can well express, but at all times have avoided taking advertised remedies, having a powerful antipathy to them, until a few months since, after having been laid up for , 22 weeks of an attack of Rheumatic Gout, principally confined to the feet, but at times it travelled to 'various parts of the frame, and then returning again with accumulated force to the extremities, and to such a degree that I was delirious for five days and nights. 1 now say, that fortunately I was induced to try BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS ; and, with truth, I assure yourself and the public that, in less than 24 hours, I was free from pain; and by the time I had taken half a box, the inflammation and swelling had disappeared. I have the pleasure of adding, that my general health has in no way suffered, and that the effects of Blair's Pills were imperceptible.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, THE CHEVALIER DE LA GARDE. The testimonials of the astonishing effects of this Medicine are universally accompanied by the fact, that no inconvenience of any sort attends its administration, but that the patient, without feeling the operation of the medicine, is universally left in a stronger and better state of health than experienced previous to being afflicted with this disease ; and in all cases of acute suffering, great relief is obtained in a few hours, and a cure is generally , effected in two or three days. This valuable discovery is sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London ; and, by his appointment, by the Apothe caries' Company, Syers, Fisher, Rennie, Howell, Aspinall, Lathbury, Phillips, Ross and C o. , Wagstaff, Roberts, May nard, Scholefield, Smith, Bradford, J o h nson, Blake, Bird, and King, Liverpool; and all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United Kingdom, price 2s. 9d. per box. Ask for Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, and observe the name and address of " Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London," impressed upon the Government Stamp affixed to each box of the genuine Medicine.

On the motion of the Rev. HUGH WNEILE, seconded by WILLIAM SHAND, Esq., It was Resolved,—That this meeting has observed with much satisfaction the introduction into the House of Com mons, by Lord Stanley, of a Bill, entitled " A Bill to amend the laws relating to the Registration of Voters in Ireland ;" and that this meeting, upon a careful consideration of the wise provisions of that bill, considers it in many respects calculated to remedy the evils in the registration system of Ireland. On the motion of THOMAS BERRY HORSFALL, Esq., seconded by JOHN SHEPPARD, Esq., It was Resolved,—That this meeting has the fullest confi dence in the ability and firmness of Lord Stanley, and in his lordship's long experience in Irish affairs, and on his inti mate knowledge of the true interests of Ireland as an Irish landlord, and entertains the most sanguine expectation that his lordship will triumphantly carry so wise and beneficial a measure ; and this meeting earnestly call upon this town and the country at large to contribute their best support and encouragement to his lordship in this undertaking. On the motion of CHARLES LAWRENCE, Esq., seconded by GEORGE GRANT, Esq., It was Resolved,—That a Petition from this town to the House of Commons, praying that honourable house to go into committee on the bill and to pass it without delay, be forthwith presented, and that the Petition now read be adopted. _ _ _ On the motion Of ROBERTSON GLADSTONE, ESCI., seconded by CHARLES STEWART PARKER, Esq., It was Resolved,--That the Petition be forwarded to the Members for the Borough for presentation, and that a copy of the resolutions passed at this meeting be forwarded to Lord Sandon, to Cresswell Cresswell, Esq., and to Lord Stanley.

THE accounts lately received from Macao, brought intelli gence 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 being of such difficult adjust.. ment as to render it almost impossible, and certainly impro bable, that any more teas can be obtained from China for a very considerable period, a great rise in all descriptions of that article has taken place. Since June last, common black teas have risen ls. 9d., and fine green, 3s. per lb. Pine Hyson, with duty, fetched at the late public sales, 9s. 7d. per lb. ; fine black teas as high as 6s. 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 his teasby 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 stock being purchased by tea dealers. For the present, Captain Pidding'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 fetching, wholesale, 9s. 7d. per lb. Half and 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 lIOWQCA'S SMALL LEAF GUN POWDER,in Chinese Catty Packages. i N.B.—The s i gna t ur e of " Captain Jour; RHODES Pn - DING" is upon every genuine package. treet GEO.

Wash the eyes every morning with warm milk and water, to remove whatever secretion may have been prod uce d during the night. _ _ Dr. - ABERNETHY used it, and termed it the Faculty's Friend and Nurse's Vade Mecum. Dr. ANDREWS also recommends its use as a preventive. (See his report when in Sunderland, published in the Times, Cheltenham Journal, and British Traveller, in Nov. 1831.) He says, " the herbaceous quality of the snuff had such effect on the stomach, as well as the nerves' of the head, from the tenacious sympathy of the membrane of the nose with the nervous system, that Grimstone's Eye Snuff, when taken frequently, must prevent any contagion entering the system, and recommends its universal adoption.

But read the following : From the John Bull, 6th May, 1839.—We copy the fol lowing from the Cheltenham Journal, being struck by its re ference to that eminent and successful oculist, James Ware, Esq., F.R.S., whose opinion touching the subject of which he treats will be read with interest. The discovery of Mr. Grimstone is simple, gentle, and certain, and by its unfailing influence on the nervous fabric of the head, possesses the un questionable power of relieving, assisting, and prolonging the sight even to extreme old age.—Editor. Cheltenham Journal, 22d April, 1839.—" That most emi nent oculist, James Ware, Esq., F.R.S., Was so strongly im pressed with the utility of snuff not made of tobacco, that in the third volume of the Medical Society's Works, page 334, this able oculist read several cases of gutta serena cured by the plentiful use of snuff. This snuff was made without the aid of tobacco, that being too great a narcotic to be used as a remedy. The anticipations of this gentlemen have been fully realised by Mr. William Grimstone, the Inventor of Eye Snuff, made from aromatic herbs, so judiciously ar ranged as in almost every case of disease touching the eye, ear, and the delicate organs of the head, to produce a certain cure."—Editor. " There are, perhaps, few articles which are so universally used as snuff, and various and innumerable have been the devices to tickle our noses at the expense of our pockets, but there is only one snuff—albeit many have be en attempted— which has proved of any value, or indeed realised the inten tion of the consumers. Grimstone's Eye Snuff is a delightful and fragrant compound, and possesses properties peculiarly its own; for, unlike all other snuffs, it is really of essential and important service to persons of studious habits, and of weak and infirm sight ; and if we may judge by the numerous medical gentlemen who have borne testimony to its merits, and the many well authenticated cures it has performed, it is not undeserving of the high esteem which it has already attained, not only in this but in other countries."—Old Eng land, 11th January, 1840. "We should be glad to see this snuff in general use. It is a safe and powerful restorative.—Manchester Chronicle. " GRINISTONE'S Era SNUFF.—Notwithstanding the sys tem of puffing which is carried on in this vast metropolis, we rsally must claim for Mr. Grimstone the distinction of being a benefactor to his species. We have had ocular demonstra tion of the value of his snuff, which we tried out of curiosity, having at the same time a slight affection of opthalmia, which the use of the snuff very speedily removed. We therefore cordially recommend it to the public."—Crown, Aug. 26,1838. " If any testimony were wanting to prove the efficacy of Grimstone's Eye Snuff, we should be most happy to throw ours into the grand scale of demonstrations and proofs already possessed by the inventor. Literary men, and individuals accustomed to sedentary habits or long reading, will find this snuff invaluable in keeping off headache, dizziness, &c. &c. —Old Monthly Magazine, September, 1838, p, 336.

Sta,—Having been afflicted with bad eyes for a long time, a friend who had received benefit from using your eye snuff recommended it to me. I have taken the contents of your 2s. 4d. canisters, and am happy to say my sight has im proved ; the weakness and dimness is removed; and, sir, it is my wish wish that you make this known for the good of the public. 6, York-place, Kentish Town. Your's, G. SMITH. To Mr. W Grimstone, inventor of Eye Snuff; 39, Broad street, Bloomsbury. March 31, 1838. SIR,—I have teen afflicted for many years with a severe pain in my head, attended with a dimness of sight and dart ing pains in my eyes, for which I have had the first medical advice ; indeed, I have taken large quantities of medicine, without receiving any relief; but 1 am now delighted to say, with truth, that ever since using your valuable eye snuff, which I have taken copiously, that is, a 2s. 4d. canister weekly, I ant quite free from those excruciating pains, and can read the smallest print, although I am in the 65th year of my age. This is my third testimony, and I shall be most happy to give it to you or to any respectable inquirer at my residence as under.—l remain, with gratitude, sir, your obedient humble servant, E. Roasox. 19, Bell-street, Edgeware-road, Marylebone. 7, Skinner's Almshouses, Mile-end, Jan. 26, 1839. Sir,—l think it my incumbent duty to return you my grate ful acknowledgments of the efficacy of your invaluable " eye snuff." You must understand, sir, that I have for the last four or five years suffered much with giddiness in my head and dimness of sight. I naturally concluded (being in my 69th year) that it was the decay of nature, and was advised by a friend, who said much in its favor, and the extraordinary virtues of your celebrated invention, I was induced to give it a trial, and I em happy to say that the great and signalbenefit I have derived from the use of four 2s 4d canisters has ena bled me to lay aside my spectacles, has given me great relief in my head, and I feel so thoroughly convinced of its benign virtues, that my gratitude shall ever be evinced in recom mending it to all I may hereafter meet suffering with those afflictions.—l am, sir, your most obliged and grateful servant, To W. Grimstone, Esq. ANN COLS. To W. Grimstone, Esq. inventor of Eye Snuff, 39, Broad-at. Whitehall, March 8, 1838. Mr. Grimstone,—Sir, I think it but justice that I should offer my acknowledgments to you for the great benefit I have derived from the use of your most exquisite fragrant com pound, composed of herbs, called Eye Snuff ; its action on the membrane of the nose, causing the lachrymal glands to discharge in a manner truly surprising, and by that means to cleanse the cornea, that my eyes became healthy, strong, and performed their wonted duties in a manner that I have not known the blessing of for six years. The renowned Dr. Guthrie recommended me to try your eye snuff prior to my undergoing an operation. Many thanks to him for his sug gestion, thanks to your invention, that operation will not be necessary. Sir, you have my permission to make this known in any manner you think best. I am, sir, your obedient servant, .1. B. LACHVIELD. P.S.—Sir, be pleased to send to the Thatched House Tav ern, St. James-street, a4s 4d and a3s 4d canister.

The sports of the field, the occupations of agriculture, a similarity of interests and tastes, all combine to promote a good understanding between every class of an agricultural population ; and as nothing is so easy for a country gentleman. living on his own estate, as to con ciliate the affections of his humbler neighbours, so 1 know nothing which gives a more unfavourable impression of him than to find that he has not succeeded in so doing. But this warm attachment more particularly exists where the land has remained for centuries in the same hands ; and many years must elapse before the inhabitants of an estate can bring themselves to view with an eye of favour those who replace an ancient family. Benefits are unheeded, charity is lavished in vain ; they cannot so soon change their idols, and are too apt to institute comparisons unfavourable to the last comer, whom they generally look upon in the light of an usurper.—Arundel, by Sir Francis Vincent. THE DEATH OF WILLIAM RUFUS.—a is remarkable that, when the late Duke of Gloucester was head ranger of the New Forest, a cottager named Purkiss still resided upon the spot occupied by his ancestor at the period of the death of William Rufus by Sir Walter Tyrrel's arrow. His calling (that of a charcoal burner) and condition in life were in all respects similar, having suffered no alteration during a lapse of more than six centuries. It seems that a wheel of the identical cart used to convey the body of Rufus to Winches ter had descended as a heir-loom from father to son. When this came to the notice of his Royal Highness, he desired to become its purchaser ; and application was made to Purkiss, who expressed a perfect willingness to part with the relic, had it been still in his possession. But the previous winter was a severe one ; fuel proved scarce and dear ; the ancient wheel shared the fate of some old palings surrounding the hovel—having blazed up the chimney.—Book of Archery. MR. WELLER'S OPINION OF RAILROADS.—" I consi der," said Mr. Weller, " that the rail is unconstitootional and an inwaser o' priwileges, and I should wery much like to know what that 'ere old Carter as once stood up for our liberties and wun 'em too—l should like to know wot he vould say if he wos alive now, to Englishmen being locked up with widders, or with anybody, again their wills. Wot a old Carter would have said, a old Coachman way say, and I as-sert that in that pint o' view alone, the rail is au inwaser. As to the comfort, vere's the comfort o' sittin' in a harm cheer lookin' at brick walls or heaps o' mud, never cumin' to a public-house, never seein' a glass o' ale, never goin' through a pike, never meetin' a change o' no kind (horses or othervise), but alvays cousin' to a place, ven you come to one at all the very picter o' the last, vith the same p'leese men standing about, the same blessed old bell a ringin' the same unfort'nate people standing behind the bars, a waitin' to be let in; and everythin' the same except the name, vich is wrote up in the same sized letters as the last name and vith the same colors. As to the honour and dignity o' tra vellin', vere can that be vithout a coachman ; and wot's the rail to sich a coachmen and guards as is sometimes forced to go by it, but a outrage and an insult ? As to the pace, wot sort o' pace do you think I, Touy Veller, could have kept a coach goin at, for five hundred thousand pound a mile, paid in advance afore the coach was on the road ? And its to the i ng ein—a nasty wheezin', creaking, gasping, puffin, hustin' monster, alvays out o' breath, vith a shiny green and gold back, like a unpleasant beetle in that 'ere gas magnifier —as to the ingein as is always a pourin' out red hot coals at night, and black smoke in the day, the sensiblest thing it does in my opinion, is yen there's somethin' in the vay and it sets up that 'ere fri g htf u l scream v i c h seems to say, ' Now, oere's two hundred and forty passengers in the very greatest extremity o' danger, and here's their two hundred and forty screams in vim !"—Master Humphrey's Clock. THE FARMER'S DAUGHTER.—There's a world of buxom beauty flourishing in the shades of the country. Farm houses are dangerous places. As you are thinking only of sheep or of curds, you may be suddenly shot through by a pair of bright eyes, and melted away in a bewitching smile that you never dreamt of till the mischief was done. In towns and theatres, and thronged assemblies of the rich and titled fair, you are on your guard; you know what you are exposed to, and put on your breast-plate, and pass through the most deadly onslaught of beauty. But in those syl van retreats, dreaming of nightingales, and hearing only the hawing of oxen, you are taken by surprise. Out steps a fair creature, crosses a glade, leaps a stile ; you start, you stand by, lost in wonder and silent admiration ; you take out your tablets to write a sonnet to the return of the nymphs and dryads to earth, when up comes John Tomkins, and says, " It's only the farmer's daughter." What! have farmers such daughters now-a-days ? Yes : I tell you they have such daughters—those farm-houses are dangerous places. Let no man with a poetical imagination, which is but another name for a tindery heart, flatter himself with fancies of the calm delights of the country ; with the serious idea of sitting with the farmer in his old-fashioned chimney corner, and hearing him talk of corn and mutton ; of joining him in the pensive pleasures of a pipe, and brown jug of October; of listening to the gossip of the farmer's wife ; of the parson and his family, of his sermons and the tenth pig; over a fragrant cup of young hyson, or lapt in the delicious luxuries of custards and whipt creams, in walks a fair vision of won drous witchery, and, with a curtesy and smile of most win ning and mysterious magic, takes her seat just opposite. It is the farmer's daughter ! A lovely girl of eighteen. Fair as the lily, fresh as May dew, rosy as the rose itself ; graceful as the peacock perched on the pales there by the window ; sweet as the posy of violets and " clove gillivers ," modest as early morning, and as amiable as imagination of Desde mona or Gertrude of Wyoming. You are lost! It's all over with you. I wouldn't give an empty filbert or a frog bitten strawberry for your peace of mind, if that glittering creature be not as pitiful as she is fair. And that comes of going into the country, out of the way of vanity and temp tation, and fancying farm-houses only nice old-fashioned places of old-fashioned contentment.wHeads of the People.
