Another rara avis landed in the shape of a roast beef and plum pudding, jolly, elderly-looking gentleman —open coun tenance, ruddy complexion, and cheerful—every way well conditioned in body, but rather unwieldy and short-winded for mountainous pursuits. Having enjoyed his sail of 60 miles, escaping sea-sickness, and got his appetite well whetted, his first attraction was Mrs. Jamieson's comfort able hotel, which he breathlessly reached, and found, in per- fection, abundance of substantial belly-timber .ninvin., and refreshing himself, and thus Contentedly quaintances, who had gone on scientific researches, he had to sally forth attended by Sandy Crawford, the well-known, shrewd, cautious, polite, intelligent, and " auld farrant" guide, to " see what was to be seen." Off he courageously started to ascend Goatfell, and try to fall in with his friends ; puffing and blowing like an old broken-winded horse, and co piously perspiring, he laboured hard to keep pace with Sandy during half an hour, when, getting exhausted, he hailed him to halt. " Hooch no, Sir, it's no joist time yet, but gif ye're out o' won an' dry, ye sud wat your whustle wi' the whisky, and tak' aff your coat." He did so, and resumed the new task of ascending—but he had soon to give in and moor himself among the tall heather. Well, friend, just tell me now what is to be seen where we are, for I can go no farther ; and the truth is, I am only a plain, blunt, true Englishman, and don't understand one word of all the Latin and other cursed lingo about them here stones, formations, stratifica tions, and other-ations ; but since I have been fool enough, for fashion's sake, to come here, I'll reward you if you try to show me something worth while talking about when I get home to wife and family, and visit club. Daughters told me to bring a piece of the stone cow, left here since the flood, and here's the hammer, old boy.' Ou aye, preceesely, I understand ye perfectly noo, said Sandy, knowingly—lt's the peter-fashion, (petrifaction, petrified,) coo ye mean, ou aye, it's no joist finished. and canna weel be seen yet—ane o the horns and a piece of the tail, an' ane of the hind cloots is no joist hardened eneuch, an' it will be neist moon afore the lime glacy dues, and the other stickan things fa' plenty eneuch to perfite the hail brute. Besides, its our far awa' for ye the day, being ayont yon heigh hill, in an awfu' luckin' sheugh, an' the fairies and witches hae some ban' in the wark. But if ye wad tak my advice, tak ye anither stiff drap o' the whisky, an' I'll show you a wonder o' a stain which nane o' your learnt friens ken ony thing about, its a secret; but os ye'ere a decent, kind gentleman, and has nae pride, I'll conduct ye.' Still puff, puffing, and breathless, the adventurous gentleman followed Sandy, curiosity now les sening his fatigues, to a remote elevated spot, where stood an immense large isolated granite stone. This is the deaf stow." Deaf, deaf, what do you mean ? " It 's a queer stane this. Climb ye on its top, an' while I'm standing below, I 'll cry and roar to ye, baith in Gaelic and English, an' I 'll be bound ye 'll no hear ae wo^d, ye 'll be sae deaf. but only for the time.' The stations being accordingly taken with due solemnity on both sides, Sandy gesticulated, opened his mouth wide, and seemed to bawl, roar, and halloo tre endousi -but utt- - - 'of any kind new churches already exist- I m y- xred not a word or souno only mimicking. The stranger stood, ' like patience upon a mouument,' listening, in every attitude, with intense eager— ness, bawling to Sandy to cry loud—but no sound did he hear. Descending at length in a passion, he scolded Sandy for not speaking louder. I heard,' he said, the wild fowls screaming, the din of cascades and waterfalls, and the bleat ing cry of the sheep distinctly enough—but one word from your cursed Highland mouth I could not hear.' Dinna be sae angry. I telt ye ye could not hear the human voice—ye wad be clean deaf to it—an' I 'm no a wild fowl, a lion, or a sheep ! " Determined not to be imposed upon, and laughed at for his credulity, he ordered Sandy to mount the stone, and he would vociferate—Sandy did so, and acted his part as listener to admiration. The would be geologist exerted his lungs to the utmost, roared like a boatswain, stamped, cursed Sandy, and swore lustily. Sandy, meanwhile, holding down first the right ear, then the left—making signs, pointing to his ears, and shaking his bead most mournfully—all in token of absolute deafness. After repeated trials, and plentiful libations of mountain dew, and with the same results, the traveller implicitly believed that the stone actually possessed the quality ascribed to it, and hammered off some large spe cimens to enrich his private museum. The subject is worthy of an " illustration" by Cruikshanks, the celebrated Lon don artist. The corpulent and credulous London citizen, and Sandy, the Highland guide, in their respective ludicrous positions and attitudes, with a sketch of the mountain, bay beneath, &c., would afford excellent materials for a humou rous picture. INTERESTING DISCOVERY OF ANCIENT On Thursday, the 22d of last month, a fragment of an an cient helmet was discovered by some labouring men in a pit near Cherry Tree, on the Preston Old Road. Even in its present corroded state this relic of another age presents evi dence of superior wormanship. It forms the scull-cap, or outer portion, of a helmet, in all probability once belonging to an officer of rank, slain in the unhappy wars which deso lated Great Britain in the reign of Charles the First, or du ring the Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell. Originally the helmet has been highly gilt and ornamented : on each side of the crest are several lines of gilding, which are repeated on the lower part, and between the two, springing from behind forwards, is an elegant twig or branch of laurel, formed like wise of gilt-work. This helmet is of the same structure as those worn during the great civil wars. When complete it has clearly had a vizor, as one of the binges by which that portion was fixed still remains, and on the opposite side are several of the rivets and rivet-holes, by which it was attached. There is also at the back part and on the left side a tube for the insertion of the plume. A helmet resembling this in ge neral appearance is figured in " Meyrick." From these cir cumstances it is evident the helmet in question once formed part of the armour of an officer, that of the common soldier being simply a skull-cap, with a peak in front and sometimes behind, and entirely destitute of ornament. But the ques tion now suggests itself—if the helmet of an officer engaged during the great civil wars, how came it in this pit at Cherry Tree ? Probably thus—During the year 1643 there were some sharp skirmishes in these parts, between the Cavaliers, under the Earl of Derby, and the Republicans. But as no mention is made of any officer having fallen, we are inclined to fix a later period as that when the relics of which we speak were thrown into the pit whence they have recently been exhumed. The bloody battle of Preston, or Ribbleton Moor, was fought in 1649, between the Royalists under Sir Marmaduke Lang dale and the Duke of Hamilton, and the Parliamentarians under Oliver Cromwell, ending in the total defeat of the former. There can be little doubt that, on the routing of the Royalist army, many of the troopers would endeavour to make good their retreat by the moors and unfrequented country in this neighbourhood, many of them mortally wounded in the battle. It may be that some officer, high in command among the Cavaliers, died on or about this spot, and that his followers threw his body into the pit to prevent its mutilation by their pursuers. It is here assumed that the owner of the helmet belonged to the Royalist or losing party. Of this there seems little doubt, for if an officer of the Cromwellian or victorious party had here died of his wounds, he would, however low his rank, have been ho noured with all the pomp of a military funeral, and not hastily flung into such an unhonoured grave as a pit by the road-side. What strengthens this opinion is, that at the same time and place several bones were found, some of them being the bones of a man and others the bones of a horse. It is also worthy of observation that a few years ago a quantity of horses' bones were found in Tockholes, at no great distance from the pit where these other remains were discovered : with them there were no human bones what ever. Hence they may be referred to the earlier of the two periods of which we have spoken, and were probably depo sited there after one of the skirmishes in 1643, in which the men of Blackburn largely partook. It is not unlikely that both men and horses were left dead upon the field—the lat ter would be thrown into the nearest pit or quarry, and the former carried off and interred in consecrated ground by their surviving friends.—Blackburn Standard. EXPERIMENTS WITH THIRTY-TWO-POUNDER GUNS AND SHELLS, WooLwicx, Nov. 3.—lt is a curious fact, although not generally known, that a 32-pounder ball of nearly six inches in diameter, when fired through the timbers of a ship, scarcely makes a hole larger than might be momentarily re paired by the carpenter with a piece of wood of the thickness of a middle-sized walking stick. This is accounted for by the velocity of the ball in passing through, causing the wood to collapse to nearly its original state. It was announced a few weeks ago that the French had been trying experiments with a ball or rather shell, which on its entering the side of a vessel, tore the timber to pieces in all directions, and they prided themselves on the idea that they would, by this means, have great advantages over the English in the event of actual hostilities commencing between France and Great Britain ; this country is better prepared to meet them on this identical point, however, than they are aware of. _ lt is now about eight years since a very scientific gentle man, who has made many improvements in fire-arms, tried experiments which convinced him that it was possible to make shells of such a construction that they would explode the moment they came in contact with the object aimed at, whether it was at a distance of 50 or 500 yards, or any range within the power of the gun from which the shell might be propelled. This gentleman submitted his views in 1832 to the Board of Ordnance; but, as the country was at univer sal peace with the world, and no prospect of any difference with the other great powers, the members of the board did not consider themselves-justified in recommending the ex pense that would be incurred, though it might be but trifling, for the purpose of perfecting the plan submitted to them. Highly to the honour of individual liberality, a gentleman of fortune, to whom the subject was mentioned, offered the use of a range of three miles on his grounds, and stated that the invention should be perfected if it cost £30,000. The inventor accordingly set to work, and succeeded to the utmost extent of his wishes in making a shell which had the desired effect on its striking the object with one of its sides, which it in variably did. But as the peace of the country and friendly assurances from foreign powers were secured without having recourse to arms, the invention has remained dormant for a considerable period. Recent events have, however, changed the aspect of affairs, and the Board of Ordnance, have in the course of the last few weeks had several experiments made with this description of shell, and its effects have exceeded their most sanguine expectations. The only reason for fur ther experiments being necessary previous to its general introduction as an engine of destruction, for the use of the British army and navy, is a desire on the part of the Board of Ordnance to have the shells of a spherical shape as that form would answer the purpose much better, being more familiar to the men employed on large guns. The inventor has acceded to the wishes of the board, the members of which have given orders for the construction of a new target at the butt in the marshes, 16 feet larger than the one for merly in use, and of the strongest materials. They have also given orders that some of the most able and experienced gunners of the royal artillery be in readiness to accompany the inventor, and assist in the experiments about to be made in the course of the week. If the weather proves favourable, the experiments will be made from 32-pounder guns, a new battery having been erected, on which six of these pieces of ordnance have been mounted, as they are most generally used in the British service. The inventor is perfectly satisfied of being able to effect the object desired by the Board of Ordnance, and has no doubt the shells will answer equally well in a spherical form as those already com pleted. Those only who have seen the effects and the shat tered state of the best and hardest timber, on being struck, could believe such damage could be done by such apparently simple means.

It is used as deer in the parks of the Spanish grandees in Peru, and its flesh is equal to any venison. Some are white, others brown and mottled. (Pat terns of manufactures from the wool, as fine as silk, were exhibited at the Glasgow Model and Manufactory Rooms.) The alpaca does not perspire as sheep do, and therefore re quires no smearing, which will be an immense'saving to the Scotch farmer, and the heavy coat of wool on its body (fine as silk) is sufficient protection in the Peruvian mountains, where deluges of rain fall four months in the summer sea son ; and from the alpacas living under the line of perpetual snow, it proves that a cold climate is congenial to them even in winter. The alpaca lives on " zeho," a kind of withered grass which grows on all mountains above a certain altitude —proving that they will exist where sheep will not. Sup plies of the animal were at Glasgow for sale, and we believe Lord Breadalbane bought some to try on his estate at Tay mouth, where the cappercailzie already flourishes. There were, also, samples of the raw apalca silky wool, assorted black (without dye), white, red, brown, foxy, gray, mottled, &c. No animal grease in this wool—illustrative that the animal requires no washing before shearing, and the wool can at present be sold at 20d. per lb. During the panic of 1837, when Highland wool sold at 3d. per lb., upwards of LOOO,OOO lbs. of alpaca realised 2s. and 2s. 6d. per lb. Spe cimens of different kinds of manufacture from alpaca, in imitation of silk—some black as jet (without dye), others white, coloured, dyed, and wove in great variety of figures— can be manufactured at one-third the price of silk, and is said by the manufacturer to be three times more valuable than Scotch wool.--Literary Gazette. A SPORTING ECCENTRIC !—At the Doncaster Races of this year, an eccentric individual, named James Hirst, at tracted much observation, from the singularity of his " equi page." It consisted of a body, composed of hazel sticks, plaited, and secured with strong cord, with a head covered with old check furniture. The machine was mounted - on four large light cart-wheels, of equal size, and was drawn by one horse at a rapid rate. The old " squire," as he was called, had for several years indulged in similar vagaries, and had such an objection to paying taxes that it has been affirmed, that he, at one period, drove mules instead of horses ; trained a pig to serve as a pointer for his shooting ; and even has been known to ride a bull with the Badsworth hounds. This eccentric old sportsman died in Yorkshire in 1829, at the advanced age of 91 years.—Whyte's History of the Turf. ARTIFICIAL SLATES.—The following process has been adopted, for the purpose of making pasteboard slates, so as to obtain all the advantages of slate, for writing or drawing, without the disadvantage lof its fragility and weight . To one part of the pulp of common white paper is added an equal quantity of agillaceous earth. The substances must be kneaded together with linseed oil. and then pressed thin and shaped to the required sizes. These leaves of mixed clay and paper are well dried, polished, and then covered over with oil on both sides. The artificial slates thus prepared are not acted on by water, and scarcely by fire. They are, besides, very light, convenient, and very cheap. CIRCASSIAN BRAVERY.—" Innumerable instances of in dividual bravery and heroism might be here collected," says Mr. Bell, in his journal of a residence in Circassia : " of these there is no want ; although there is no appearance of a principle of combination by which greater and more per manent results might be produced. I should not give you the following instance, but that the greater part of the transaction was witnessed by several people who happened to be on the banks of the Kfiban at the time ; and that it is an example of a desperate love of liberty, general among Circassians, of whom very few ever allow themselves to be made prisoners. A young man of Shapsuk, after killing or wounding several Russians in a late affair across the Kahan, was made prisoner, and carried to Yekaterinodar. There he was questioned about, and frankly told, all the acts of hostility he had been of late concerned in, pointing out two of the soldiers he had wounded. He was threatened with death, fettered and thrown into a dungeon. But during the night he contrived to free himself from his irons, and to dig a hole through his prison wall, by which he got into the enclosure. This was surrounded by a wall, and chevaux-de frise, which he surmounted by grasping the points of iron in his hands, and thus making a footing, from which he leaped down upon the outer ground. Here he was en countered by two centries ; but snatching up a billet of wood that fortunately lay at hand, he felled one of the soldiers to the ground with it, escaped from the other, and ran towards the Cuban. On the way, three Cossacks attacked him, whom he kept atbay with his billet, until he reached the river, and plunged into it. His trials were not yet at an end ; for some soldiers put off in a small boat in pursuit of him, nor would his diving have, in all probability, saved him, had he not succeeded in upsetting the boat. At length he reached the shore; but finding himself in Psadug—the people of which have made terms with the Russians—he was so fearful they would capture and deliver himself up, that he set off in the state of nakedness, to which he had been reduced in his scuffles, towards his home, which he succeeded in reaching in safety. THE RACER ECLIPSE.—AII the best six years old horses of the year having entered against Eclipse for the King's Plate at Newmarket, O'Kelly offered to take ten to one he posted them, which being betted to an immense amount, and the captain called upon to &claw, he pronounced " Eclipse ! and nothing else,"—implying the rest to be " nowhere ;" which was really the case ; for the rider of Eclipse, having received private instructions to go off at score, double distanced the whole with the greatest ease, leaving himself without a com petitor. And we believe that this was the last time any horse was seen to start against him as he afterwards walked over the different courses for the king's plates of the year, without a single opponent, and the year following entered the stud.— Whyte's History of the Turf. BENBOW, THE CHARTIST, IN 1818.—About this time a public meeting for reform was held at Birch, near Middleton, which was worthy of notice for one incident. It was moved and seconded, that petitions to the lords and commons should be presented in the usual manner ; when William Benbow, who had lately returned from prison, made his way through the crowd, and mounting the waggon, urged the people, in a violent and irrational address, to march to London, and " present their petitions at the point of the sword and pike." He was loudly cheered, with expressions such as, "Ay, that's the way,"—" Go on, Benbow, '—"That 's the man for us." At the same time he was pondering on a retreat from the country ; of that country which he was endeavouring to in jure by a course of violence. That very week, or the week following, he sailed from Liverpool to join Cobbett in Ame rica. When I afterwards met some of his applauders, and asked them what they thought of the man who could urge them to rush on destruction, and himself hasten away, they shook with indignation.—Bamford's Passages in the Life of a Radical. BRITISH ASSOCIATION.—DISSOLUTION OF QUARTZ IN HOT WATER.-Mr. Jeffereys detailed an experiment he had made on a great scale, to decide the question whether silice ous matter could be dissolved largely by water, or, what is the same thing, by its vapour. This experiment formed the subject of a paper which was read some months ago before the Royal Society ; and by the experiment a solution of more than two hundred weight of silica was effected in steam, at a heat exceeding that of fused cast-iron. The steam was not under pressure, but was conducted into a large kiln, used for stone pottery. The silica was not only dissolved, but carried away in the vapour ; and some pounds weight of it were de posited, from the vapour, before it issued from the kiln, like a hoar frost, upon some articles in the kiln, where the tem perature was not above a red heat. An invention is in progress to supersede the necessity of using horse hair for stuffing chairs, sofas, &c. The substi tute, (for which a patent is taken out) is cork, cut into the minutest particles, which is found upon trial to be superior to horse hair in every respect, and the saving is considered to be about 200 per cent. An extensive factory is fast progress ing, and a large fortune appears likely to reward the inventor. FASHIONABLE RELIGION.—A French gentleman, equally tenacious of his character for gallantry and devotion, went to hear mass at the chapel of a favourite saint, at Paris. When he came there, he found repairs were doing in the building, which prevented the celebration. To show that he had not been defective in his duty and attentions, he pulled out a richly-decorated pocket-book, and walking with great gravity and many genuflexions np the aisle, very care fully placed a card of his name and address upon the princi pal altar. THE DUKE AND THE QUAKER.—His Grace (of Grafton) being fox-hunting near Newmarket, a Quaker, at some dis tance, upon an adjoining eminence, pulled off his hat, and gave a view hallo ! The hounds immediately ran to him, and being drawn off the scent were consequently at fault, which so enraged the duke, that, galloping up to the offen der, he asked, in an angry tone, " Are you a Qnaker ?" " I am, friend," he replied. " Well, then," rejoined his grace, " as you never pull off your hat to a Christian, I will thank you in future not to pay that compliment to a Fox."—Bri fish Turf. MARIE ANTOINETTE,—The beautiful and unfortunate Marie Antoinette, lively as was her disposition, and fond as she was of gaiety, did not find either the duties or gaieties of a court inconsistent with the labours of the needle. She was extremely fond of needlework, and during her happiest and gayest years was daily to be found at her embroidery frame. ller approach to this was a signal that other ladies might equally amuse themselves with their various occupa tions of embroidery, of knitting, or of untwisting—the pro fitable occupation of that day ; and which was so fashionable, such a " rage," that the ladies of the court hardly stirred anywhere without two little work-bags each—one filled with gold fringes. laces, tassels, or any golden trumpery they could pick up; the other to contain the gold they unravelled, which they sold to Jews.—The Art of Needlework, by the Countess of Wilton. ORIGIN OF SILK FOR DRESSES.—It was long before silk was in general use, even for patrician garments. It has been supposed that the famous Median vest, invented by Semira mis, was silken, which might account for its great fame in the west. Be this as it may, it was so very graceful, that the Medes adopted it after they had conquered Asia ; and the Persians followed their example. In the time of the Romans the price of silk was weight for weight with gold, and the first persons who brought silk into Europe were the Greeks of Alexander's army. Under Tiberius it was for bidden to be worn by tneu ; and it is said that the Emperor Aurelian even refused the earnest request of his empress for a silken dress, on the plea of its extravagant cost.—The Art of Needlework, by the Countess of Wilton. CIRCASSIAN ORATORS AND AUDIENCES.—It rarely hap pens that any under the age of forty ever interfere in these debates ; and only with a tolerable sprinkling of gray hairs in the beard, announcing the matured wisdom of the tamatas, or elders, can the orator command attention. Should there be any individual fonder than others of hearing himself talk, they have a way of silencing him peculiar to themselves ; they neither crow like cocks, nor bray like certain other animals in more civilized assemblies, but adopt a method for which the form and the roomy nature of their house of meet ing, alfresco, are most peculiarly adopted. The unfortunate orator, in such cases, is apt to find himself with no other audience than the neighbouring trees and bushes, the circle he had been addressing having rapidly dissolved and re-ad justed itself out of earshot, where it might be seen listening to somebody with better claims on its attention.—Loug worth's Year among the Circassians. THE SNAKE CHARMERS OF INDIA. —When a snake has been traced on the premises, it is a common custom to send for the " snake-catcher," who arrives with his numerous baskets, containing live snakes of various descriptions, and the uncouth musical instruments with which he enacteth the part of the " charmer," to whom the cobra capella in this case seldom " turneth a deaf ear ;" and, by whatever means, he effects his object in a short time. After being lured from its hiding-place and deprived of its fangs, the snake is snugly deposited at the bottom of one of the round wicker baskets which he carries about with him, and which, when not called on in his professional capacity, are displayed for the amuse menttkuentse , o n and a sort begi of ns of the spectator. The snak e-catcher seats himself on thet o dn forth g r °u e ed bagpipe. After a short time the covers of the basket s are a melancholy monotonous these l i removed, and display in each the sc al y folds of a co bra ttle baskets, can be called By capella compactly coiled up in the bottom, and apparently intently listening to the music, if such it degrees they appear to grow animated ; they gradually raise and it fearful to motion, seem to keep time to the music ; .. their heads, expand their hoods, and by a sort isof nodding behold the " charmer," surrounded on all sides by these terrific looking animals, and although in their present state perfectly harmless, from being divested of their fangs, a thrill of horror involuntarily creeps through the veins of the spectators.—Major Napier's Scenes and Sports in Foreign Lands. HORTICULTURAL DISCOVERY. — The American aphis or bug, of late years, has proved very destructive to wall fruit, and particularly to our finest winter apple, the Ribston Pip pin. Mr. M'Hardy, gardener to John Grant, Esq., of Kil graston, having observed during the progress of this insect over the garden under his charge, the jargonelle pear uniformly escaped the infection, it occurred to him that by ingrafting the Ribston Pippin under the jargonelle stock, the influence by which the latter seemed to resist the attacks of the aphis might be imparted to the apple. This he accordingly tried three or four years ago, and the result has not only answered Mr. M`Hardy's expectations in regard to the health of the wood, but in the improvement of the fruit, both as to size and flavour. Specimens of the wood and fruit, from the infected tree, and from the engrafted one, are at present to be seen at Messrs. Dickson and Turnbull's here, and the remarkable contrast which they present, affords the most convincing evidence of the beneficial effect of the system, which the experience of three successive seasons has confirmed. Perth Courier. SAM SLICK'S SYSTEM OF PI ! R ENOLOGY.—(Froni the forthcoming Series of the " Sayings and Doings of Sam Slick.")—When I enter a location, arter a little talk about this, that, or the other, I looks ,, at one of th e young grow ' d up gals airnest like, till she says , . Mr. Sli c k, w h at on a i rth are you a-lookin' at?" " Nothm , ~ says I, " my dear, but a most remarkable developemen , t ; " A what ?" sa y s s h e . " A remarkable development, says I, " the most remark able, too, I ever seed since I was raised." " Why, what in Natur's that ?" says she. " Excuse me, Miss," says I, and I gets up, and puts my finger on her crown. " What bene volence !" says I, " and firmness of character ! did you ever ! —and then," says I, a passof my finger o ver th e e y e -b row , " you ought to sing well positively; it's your own fault if you don't, for you have uncommon petikilar powers that way. Your time is large, and tune great; ye s , an d compet i t i on i s strong." Well, how strange ! says she ; " you have guessed right, for I do sing, and am allowed to have the best ear for music in all these clearin's : How on airth can you tell ? If that don't pass !"—" Tell, ' says I, " why it's what they call phrenology, and a most beautiful study it is. I can read d' head as plain as a book ; and this I will say, a finer head than yourn I never did see, positively. What a splendid forehead you have ! it's a sight to behold. If you was to take pains you could do anything a most : Wo u ld you like to have i t read Miss ?" Well, arter hearing me pronounce aforehand at that rate, she is sure to want it . read, and then I say, " I won't read it aloud, Miss ; I'll whisper it in yo ur ea r, and you shall say if lam right." Do, says she ;" I should like to see what mistakes you'll make, for I can't believe it possi ble you can tell ; it don't convene to reason, does it ?" No thin', squire, never stops a woman when her curiosity is once up, especially if she be curious to know somethin' about her self. Only hold a secret out in your hand to her, and it's like a bunch of catnip to a cat; she'll jump and frisk, and frolic round you like anything, .and never give over purrin' and coaxin' of you till she gets it. Th ey 'll d o anyt hi ng f or you a'most for it. So I slides, out my knee f o r a seat, and says " its no harm, Miss, you know ;f or M a i s h ere , an d I must look near to tell you ;,, K so I draws her on my knee, without waiting for an answer. Then gradually one arm goes round the waist, and t'other hand goes to the head, Isurnpo • logizin', and I whispers— wit, paititin', jud gmen t, f anc y, order, music, and every good thing a most." And she k e eps a-sayin,'—" Well, he's a witch ! well, h ow strange ! l aw f u l heart ! Well I want to know !—now I never !—do tell !" as pleased all the time as anything. Lord ! squire, you never see anything like it; it's Jerusalem fine fun. Well, then, I wind up by touchin' the back of her head hard, (you know, squire, what they call the amative bumps are located there), and then whisper a bit of a joke to her about her makin' a very very lovin' wife, and soon, and she jumps up a-colour in', and a-saying' " it's no such a thing. You missed that guess, any how. Take that for not guessin' better!" and pretendin to slap me, and all that ; but actilly ready to jump over the moon for delight. Don't my clocks get fust admired and then boughten arter this readin' of heads, that's all? Yes ; that's the beauty of phrenology. You can put a clock into their heads when y ou are a pu tti n ' other fine things in, too, as easy as kiss my hand. I have sold a nation lot of them by it. The only thi ng ag 'i n p h reno logy is, it's a little bit dangerous. It's only fit for an old hand like me, that's up to trap, for a raw one is amazin' apt to get spooney. Taking a gall on your knee; that way, with one hand on her heart, that goes pitty-pat like a watch tickin , ' and the other a-roving about her head a ' -discovering bombs, is plaguy apt to make a fool of you without your knowing of it. TIGHT LACING.—The highest mortality of English wo men by consumption may be ascribed partly to the in-door life which they lead, and partly to the compression, pre venting the expansion of the chest, by costume. In both ways the lungs are deprived of a free draught of vital air, and the altered blood deposits tuberculous matter with a fatal facility. Thirty-one thousand and ninety English women had died in one year (the year ending June 30, 1839) of the incurable malady ! Will not this impressive fact in duce persons of rank and influence to set their countrywomen right in the article of dress, and lead them to abandon a practice which disfigures the body, strangles the chest, pro duces nervous or other disorders ' and has an unquestionable tendency to implant an incurable hectic malady in the frame ? Girls have no more need of artificial bones and bandages than boys.—Appendix to the Second Annual Report of the Registrar-General of Births, Deaths, and Marriages. BRIDAL FEELINGS.—The entire change of character ef fected by the ceremony which had so recently been per formed, the entire alteration of the duties of life produced by that sacred rite, vast futurity opening to her view, so differ ent in its nature from the days that were passed; the entire surrender of herself to an authority which the day before she did not acknowledge, and the abandonment to a certain ex tent, of that exclusive obedience which a few hours previ ously she implicitly yielded to her father; the whole combi nation of circumstances, the balance between perfect happi ness and something less than happiness, the apprehension, the doubt, the dread, the joy, th e sorrow —for they all mingle in the heart of a bride at the moment when she hears the carriage-door close upon herself and her husband, and finds herself, for the first time in her life, confided to the care, the protection, and the love of an alien to her blood—Helen deeply and intensely felt; and the pang which rent her heart as she received her fond father's parting kiss, the last of those kisses of devoted af f ection which were hers while she alone was all his care, and while she had none other to look at or to love but him, was one of the bitterest she had ever endured. It seemed like the tearing asunder of a thousand ties, the abandonment of home, and all its associations. — Theodore Hook's " Births, Deaths, and Marriages." SECOND EDITION. Standard Office, Three o'clock LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—Tn is DAY (From Messrs. R. MAKIN Sr SONS' Circular) Although between Tuesday last and to-day the supplies into this port coastwise and from Ireland have been altoge ther very moderate, and we have received no Grain or Flour within the last three days from abroad, transactions of a li mited character only have been practicable in any article of the corn trade during that interval :—holders nevertheless appeared to evince no want of confidence, and the general currency of our last circular therefore continued steady. By the average return of the kingdom received here this morning, the duty on Oats is raised to 12s 3d, and on Rye to 15s 6d per quarter, that on Wheat and all other foreign pro duce remaining unvaried. Having an unusually slender attendance at this day's mar ket, and the millers and dealers being extremely inactive, there was decidedly less firmness in every branch of the trade than in the preceding part of the week. Foreign Wheats, although the stock here has been gradually decreas ing of late, and the present high rate of duty will necessarily force future importations into bond,—even these descriptions were very unsaleable this morning, and scarcely retained their previous value. Irish Wheats, being also in very slow request, were the turn cheaper ; and home-grown samples, notwithstanding such continue to come forward very spa ringly, met little notice at former prices. English, Irish, and foreign free Flour, upon a moderate demand, remained stationary in value. In bond no further sales have transpired. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease - appeared to claim very little attention, and hardly maintained our last quotations. Oats and Oatmeal seemed to participate in the prevailing dulness, but, being held at Tuesday's rates, no material change in prices can be noted.

(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott ty Sons.) During the past week the import of Flour from Canada has been to a fair extent, but from Ireland and Coastways the supplies of Grain have been very moderate, and the demand has been very steady at fully our last quotations for Wheat, of which superior qualities have obtained a small advance ;—in all other articles there has been little alteration here or in our country markets. The duty on Wheat from Foreign Ports has increased since Fri day last to 288 8d per qr., on Flour to 14s ad per brl., and is is 6d per qr. more on Oats and Beans ; on other Grain no alteration ; there has not been much doing in bonded Wheat and Flour ;—a parcel of Odessa Wheat in bond is reported to have been forced off at as per 701bs, and of New York Flour at 23s per barrel, but pur chases cannot now be mace on such terms ; 25s 6d to 26s has been offered for the superior qualities of the latter, and 6s per 701bs for the fine American and Baltic Wheats, and refused, we therefore repeat our last quotations, though almost nominal; duty has been paid on about 8000 qrs. of Wheat during the past month, but nearly the whole of the recent imports of this article, and of Flour from Foreign Ports, and a large portion of the Flour from Canada, is going into bond for the present. At this day's market sales were effected to a moderate extent of fine Wheat and Oats at a small advance; for all other articles the demand was very limited at about our last quotations, WIBIZAT, per 7olbs S. d.
