But in the case in question, the position of a new leader was quite different. The combined knowledge of the statesman and the political economist had to be brought to bear on a question abounding in statistics of the most varied kind, statistics varying with almost every d to each all blossom living creatures, ay glance may fall On the blue•bells or the daisie I say " God bless you all l" trth, my 1 Go forth And g among roe no Lthey thee a st engaged during their public life in assailing the positions to be taken up, as those who, having all along defended them, now suddenly abandon them, and, knowing their weak points, turned that knowledge to advantage. To fill such a post, then, was no slight undertaking fcr a man like Lord George Bentinck, bred, as he says, a soldier, who was an active politician only in what he is pleased to call, in modesty of spirit, the " humblest office which a political man can fill," and who for so many years had turned almost his whole attention to other and less digni more 1 fled pursuits. Ills success was signal. The first speech With its merry - ores of blue, 'emu it grew! s they shine. thy childhood, f mine! ,ce they were blue-bell. when I see it Sits fly back onc, My thot To a pine With its bl re purpled o'er, of any importance he made on the corn question appeared on the face of the report to be a failure. In the House it was no such thing. The noble lord had an object in pro tracting his speech, and to accomplish that he sacrificed some of its power and effect. He did not rise till a late hour, and then continued speaking so long a time that the House grew impatient, and much confusion prevailed to wards the close of his address. But in those parts of it which were heard, and which, in fact, contained the real pith of his argument, such a stiiking acquaintance with the complex and extensive facts, and such a power of ar gument, were exhibited, that the noble lord, prolix as he was, made a very deep impression on the House. His very next speech, made under more favourable circumstances, confirmed it ; Lord George displayed so accurate and complete a knowledge of his subject, that even detractio❑ was silent. Opponents were as ready as his own sup porters to admire his displays. They knew from expe rience what an amount of application must have been given Go forth, dear child And bring thy spo d pluck them, lit colours , st not what I see I To me they b: •emembrance in order to enable him to obtain so thorough a mastery on so difficult a subject. Lord George Bentinck, as may be supposed, has not attained, or even approximated to, perfection as an orator: He was too much t ccupied with his subject to be able to strike any new style of oratory for himself ; it was enough to be able to ucliver his speech with an average ability. So he trusted to old, time-honoured forms in action, intonation, and delivery— forms long once abandoned by all but a few members of either FlouFe, and which, like cast-off habits, have travel- led down through different classes till they now dignify and embellish_t hat kind of eloquence which one hears after the representative sy'stem has affected the oratory as well as the opinions and votes in parliament. Until within the last twenty years or so, gentlemen intended for public life were regularly trained for public speaking ; a course under the elocution master was deemed essential to an aspirant for honours. The consequence was, that the general characteristics of public speakers were very similar. A tediously slow delivery, extreme pomposity, verbosity and monotony. action in what has been termed the " pump- . handle" :,tvle, !balked them all, and may still be found in great perfection in many whose old-fashioned oratory defies and survives innovation. The crowning virtue of 'essors seems to be to em this kind every sentence intended to be emphatic with a sudden jerk and a twang. Lord George 1 3entinck fell naturally into this style Wrhen he first began his rtcent opposition ; but conflict and the influence of example have altered his style, even in this brief space of time.

PERUVIAN CARNIVALS.—" Lima," says the Spanish i heaven to women, a purgatory to hus- proverb, " is beasts being infamously used by the negroes, who, espe cially the liberated ones, are the most cruel and vicious race in Peru. In this latter category must be included bos and mulattos, and negroes and Indians. We turn a few pages and come to the carnival; during which, judging from the account before us, we should imagine that Lima be came a hell not only to ill-treated donkeys, but to man, woman, and child. The chief sport of that festive season consists in sprinkling people with water, concerning the purity of which the sprinklers are by no means fastidious. From nearly every balcony, liquids of the most various and unsavoury description are rained down upon the passers by ; at the street corners stand negroes, who seize upon ail who are not of their own caste, and roll them in the gutter, unless they prefer paying a certain ransom, in which case they get off with a trifling baptism of dirty water. Troops of young men force their way into the houses of their acquaintances, and attack the ladies. First, they sprinkle them with scented water, but when that is expended, the pump, and even worse, is had recourse to, and the sport becomes brutality. The ladies, with their clothes dripping wet, are chased from room to room, become heated, and are frequently rendered dan gerously ill. Diseases of the lungs, and other rheumatic complaints, are the invariable consequences of the carni val, to whose barbarous celebration many fall victims. Besides this, every year murders occur out of revenge for this brutal treatment. One favourite trick is to fill a sack with fragments of glass and earthenware, and fasten it to the balcony by a cord, the length of which is so calcu lated that, when let down, the sack hangs at about seven feet from the ground. The sack is kept on the balcony till somebody passes, and is then suddenly thrown out, ' hut, thanks to the cord, remains at a safe distance above the heads of those below. Although it is tolerably well known that in most streets there is at least one of these infernal machines, yet the sudden shock and alarm are so great, that persons have been known to fall down senseless on the spot. Horses are tl,us made to shy violently, and frerywntly throw their riders. The practice is each year forbidden by the police, but the prohibition is disregarded. —Blackwood. _ _ AUSTRALIAN MODE OF DISPOSING OF THEIR DEAD. —Hurrying on with a still favourable tide, but at a rate much too slow for our impatience, we passed two other small grassy islets, and a third was before us..

LORD GEORGE BENTINCK AS A POLITICIAN.—Having PERUVIAN MODE OF APPLYING GUANO.—Opposite once accepted the honourable but onerous task, from that to the ports of Pisco and Chincha, lie a number of small hour he devoted himself to it, body and mind. No exer- islands, noted for their large deposits of guano, or huanu, Lion, no application was considered by him too great, if as Dr. Tschudi corrects the orthography of the word. the result of it would be to render him more fit for his The doctor gives some very interesting particulars con task.

A few weeks after the seeds have be gun to germinate, a small hole is made beside each plant, tilled with buanu, and covered up with earth. Twelve or fifteen hours later, the whole field is laid under water, and left so for a few hours. The effect of the process is incredibly rapid. In a very few days, the plants attain double their previous height. When the operation is repeated, but with a smaller quantity of the huanu. the s farmer may reckon upon a crop at least threefold that white 'menu, which is much strorge•r than the dark coloured, less must be used, and the field must be watered sooner. and for a longer time, or the roots will be destroy ed. When the hind is tolerably good, seven hundred and fifty to nine hundred pounds of huanu are reckoned suffi cient for a surface of fourteen thousand square feet ; with poor soil, a thousand to twelve hundred pounds are re. quired.— Von Tschudi's Travels in Peru. FEMALE LIFE IN GERMANY.—The only recreation in which she ever indulges is an occasional drive or ball : for the latter amusement there is at Heidelberg every fa- cility. There are three species of balls—the "Burger Venrein," or the association of citizens ; the " Harmo nie," so called, we presume, from the harmonizing effect of its society—and the " Museum," which is a spacious building, containing several fine tmll and concert rooms and an excellent table d'hote. This establishment pos sesses, also, the additional advantage of a capital news room, where all the leading continental as well as English journals are taken, and amongst the latter, is our friend Mr. Punch. For a very trifling annual subscription, any one may become a member of this society, and besides access to the bulls, concerts, news-room, &c., he has the " entre" to a magnificent library, which is stored with authors in all languages, and amongst the collection, strange to say, is a capital selection of some of our best English law books. There is a ball or a concert given at these rooms at least once a month, and the society fre quenting them is considered the most aristocratic of the town. To the Harmonic, however, all sorts and condi tions of men and women repair ; we have seen a grafine or countess and a laundry maid dancing in the same set ; a crown prince and a head waiter vis-a-vis—but in Ger many this is thought nothing of, and the pelple who thus attain a temporary elevation, never venture to presuine on it—but the instant the ball or festivity is over, return to their respective positions, the waiter and the laundry maid resolve themselves into their original elements, and the next day you will see him whom you met on the previous tit - -ed ;• night, arrayed in a,_ the gorgeousness of blue coat and snowy vest, attired in his accustomed jacket and trousers. of that extraordinary cut by which the German " kelner" of the - hotel : or the lady whom you beheld in all the maiden simplicity of white muslin, and "aperient" dia monds, carrying away a huge pail of water upon her head, which she has with much labour just extracted from the adjoining pump.—Sketches of Bursehen Life. EARTHQUAKES IN LIMA.—"The city of earthquakes," would be a far more appropriate name for Lima than the city of the kings. On an average of years, five-and-forty SCOCKS are annually telt, most of which occur in the latter balf of October, in November, December, January, May, and June. January is the worst month, during which, in The terr _ es that play such havoc with the city come at intervals of forty to sixty years. Since the west coast of South America was known to Fn.. ropeans, the following are the dates :-1586, 1630, 1687, 1713, 1746, 1806; always two in a century. It is greatly to be feared that ten more years will not elapse without . . Dr. Tschu - di gives a brief Recount of the earthquake of )746. It was on the 28th of October, St. Simon and St. Jude's day, that at . 31 minutes past 10 p.m., the earth the whole of Lirna was a Ilea; of ruins. Noise, earth: quake, and dew ruction were all the affair of one moment. The few buildings whose strength resisted the first shock were thrown down by a rezular horizontal motion of the earth, which F ucceeded it and lasted four minutes. Out of more than three thousand houses, only twenty-one re mained urW just d. Nearly all the public buildings were even more complete; for scarcely was the earthquake over, when the sea arose with a mighty rushing sound, and swallowed up both town and inhabitants.

LATEST FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. THE WEST INDIA AND MEXICAN MAILS The royal mail steam-ship Tav, Captain Sharp, arrived on Saturday evening, after a fine run of 134 days from Bermuda, her last port of communication. She was not due until to-day, and her early arrival is, therefore, mother practical illustration of the continued improve :;ling of the various powerful steamships be tonging to the Royal Mail Company.

The Tay also brings the large number of 93 passengers. We have letters from Mezico to the 31st May. The Mexican ports on the Atlantic were blockaded by the American squadron, and an attack on the castle of San Juan de Ulloa was expected immediately. The port of Mazatlan and city of Guadalaxara had both declared against the government.

About half the members of the new congress bad been got together. They elected General Bustamante president of the body. Senor Gorostiza had retired from the Ministry of Fi nance, and was succeeded by Senor Iturbe, who bad seized all the funds in the ports, including the English dividends. The light is removed from the castle of San Juan de Ulloa, at Vera Cruz, during the blockade., The Tay brings our usual files of West India papers, by which we are glad to find a favourable change of the weather has occurred in many of the islands, too late, however, to repair the great damage the long-continued drought occasioned. The Barbadoes Standard states that they have had several showers. The rain appears to have been general; it continued to the end of the month. The Trinidad Standard estimates the probable amount of sugar likely to reach the home market, as the crop from that island for 1846, at 22,000 hlids., a decrease on the past year of 1,265, and 2,000 hhds. short of what might have been expected from the appearance of the crop at the commencement. The crop of the coming year, it is said, will prove a short one, probably not more than 17,000 hlids., arising from many untoward circumstances, especially the frequency of fires. These fires continue. 1n Naparima, the principal sugar district, a severe fire commenced (16th) on Friendship Estate, and swept Espe ranee, Corinth, Concord, Ne Plus Ultra, Mr. Navet's Mon Repos, and Mr. Andre's estates, and entered the suburbs of San Fernando; a change of wind saved the town. The tire ravaged an area of ground 5 miles in extent ; a spark from a boiling-house chimney was the cause. A similar conflagration occurred the following day at Cedros, devastating the St. John, Union, Perseverance, and Loch maben estetes, on the latter it destroyed canes sufficient to make 150 hogsheads of sugar ; the village fell a prey to the flames. Lord Harris, the governor, exerted himself greatly during this severe visitation, in• giving directions and using every effort to subdue the fires. Immigration still goes on to British Guiana ; Berlice 269 by the has receiv Britannia, and they have had 235 Portuguese by the Planter, from Madeira, and a late arrival of 351 Coolies by the Sir Robert Peel.

They empannelled a jury, tried him for trea son and hanged him.—Steren's Memoirs of Geo. Heriot. EARLY DAYS OF HAYDON, THE ARTIST.—MF. Hay don was born on the 26th January, 1786, at Plymouth where his father was a bookseller of good reputation. He was educated at Plymouth Grammar School, and after- . ....._._ _ completed in the same grammar school in which Sir Joshua Reynolds acquired all the scholastic knowledge he ever received. Havdon. in after life, was fond of referring to . this circumstance ; nor unwilling, indeed, to have it said that his father. who drew a little himself, had given him the Scriptural name in the thought that, as Plympton had Sir JOY her Benjamin to follow. The boy evinced a love for art at a very early period, and is said to have exhibited his first fondness for his calling on the occasion of a print which the servant had given him to keep him quiet. Thus early initiated, he found materials for his purpose in Lis father's house. He drew, read, and resolved; and, Rey nolds' " Discourses" attracting his attention, he became, yards from the shore.

AN INCIDENT OF THE WARS OF WILLIAM AND JAMES.—VVhiIe Jeremiah Tisdel thus railed and cursed crooked. fin tinappositelx . . have presented to the fancy of the spectator the image of a famished ghoul cowering over some open grave, and searching for the fragments of his unclean feast. " Gone, gone, gone," he cried, in a voice of almost childish rage and grief, as he sat down upon the cold earth beside the spot, and smote his clenched hands sometimes upon his breast and sometimes upon the dull soil, until gradually this frantic energy of woe subsided into a sullen, black moroseness, from which, however, after the lapse of some ten minutes, he on a sudden started up. " Aye, aye," he exclaimed, with a new and fierce interest, "let's see how Deveril has fared." With this exclamation, be hurried toward the ruined walls; the lower windows had all been secured with iron bars, which had of course survived the flames, and now showed in sharp black lines against the grey light of morning which streamed through the build ing. Passing the earner of the still reeking ruin, Tisdal stopped short, with a shuddering ejaculation which had a strange mixture of joy and horror in its intonation. " Then it is done I—ha, ha I—the hunter caught in his own toils, the robber bereft of his spoil, the murderer of his precious life." The spectacle which elicited these words was one of sufficient horror. Through the bars of a window, within a few yards of which the speaker stood, were thrust the knee and the head of a figure, whose es cape had been rendered impracticable by two transverse bars which, deeply sunk in the side walls, secured the rest. The Lead, and one arm and shoulder, as well as one knee, were thrust through the iron stanchions, and all was black and shrunk, the clothes burned entirely away, and the body roasted and shrivelled to a horrible tenuity ; the lips dried up and drawn, so that the white teeth grinned and glittered in hideous mockery, and thus the whole form, arrested in the very attitude of frenzied and desperate exertion, showed more like the hideous, blackened effigy of some grinning ape, than anything hu man. With a horrible and icy fascination, old Tisdal gazed upon this appalling spectacle, till it almost seemed, to his distempered fancy, that the fiendish grinning thing was greeting him " with mop and mow," as the coal black, shrunken mask, with its shining white tows of teeth, set off by the hideous grotesqueness of its attitude, met, and appeared to return his fixed and thrilling gaze. " Deveril Deveril ! muttered the puritan, scarce daring to speak above his breath, as he drew back a little ; for though he knew it was but fancy, the light curling smoke between him and that fearful ob. r recov p pea ranee of motion which enhanced the horrible effect of the spectacle upon his imagination. " Deveril ! De veril s—this is horrible ! Who could have thought he'd have struggled so bard? Why did they not pike him ? Flow could they let him roast there? It was frightful!" With a violent effort Tistial turned, and two steps placed the corner of the building between him and that terrible object. A strange feeling, sometimes almost bordering upon a gush of tenderness, came upon him as he conti nued—" Devetil Deveril ! poor Deveril ! it was dread ful ! it was frightful !—he was my staunch companion in evil days.. Oh, Dever!!! Deverill—tie saved my life once —why did I forget Blackheath? Oh, Deveril!was!t.for shi; you saved it? Oh, my tiod t that 1 coma can nim back I—or—or at least that he had died elsewhere, and art, easier death ! He was my comrade—my comrade—when no one else would consort with me! Is he dead ?—is he quite—quite dead ? If he had but life enough left to for piscine !—oh, that he had hut life enough to forgive me !" Thus speaking, with a strange hysterical revulsion of feel ing, Tisdal distractedly returned to the spot where first the dreadful apparition bad met his eye. There, fixed as the bars themselves, stood still the awful, monkey-like figure, black and grinning as ever. " Deveril! Deveril ! —old boy, Deveril!" cried his former associate, almost frantically ; but the sounds echoed unhees:ed through the empty walls, and the thin vapour curled, undisturbed by breath or movement, like the smoke of his torment for ever ascending about and above the sooty, grinning effigy. " Deveril ! Deveril! is there any life in yon? Old fellow, it's I—it's Tisdal—burnt brandy ! Oh, God ! Deveril ! Deveril ! won't you answer Captain Gordon ? It's I—l —it's brother Snap ! Oh, Deveril, my boy, you saved me—you saved me—l know it—l remember that night. Speak, old boy, one word. I think you moved I—you did move !" Tisdal distractedly snatched up a long charred joist, which lay among the smouldering rubbish, and, stretching across the smoking embers and ashes, he, with the end of it, pushed the ghastly figure. The effect was horrible; for though the pressure was but light, the grinning head separated from the body, and rolled, amid a cloud of dust, towards Tisdal's feet, while the body dropped back into the ashes and rubbish within the walls, leaving but the blackened arm still clingi n g and sticking to the bars. If the frightful apparition had spontaneously sprung from its position, and leaping at the throat of its betrayer, Tisdal could hardly have felt a pang of terror wider than the paroxysm which froze him, as he saw the head of his victim thus rolling and plunging through th e. ashes, towards his feet.

SANDS OF PEDU.—The whole extent of the Peruvian coast, from its northern to its southern extremity, pre sents nearly the same aspect ; vast deserts of sand, varied by fruitful valleys, with their villages and plantations ; seaport towns there where nature or commerce has en couraged their foundation ; alternate insupportable beat and damp fog; scarcity of men; crumbling monuments of a period of riches and greatness. In the sandy plains it is no unusual occurrence for travellers to lose their way and perish for thirst. In that fervent and unhealthy cli mate, human strength rapidly gives way before want of food and water. In the year 1823, a transport, carrying a regiment of dra;zoons, three hundred and twenty strong, stranded on the coast near Pisco. The soldiers got on shore, and wandered for thirty-six hours through the sand-waste, out of which they were unable to find their way. At the end of that time, they were met by a num ber of horsemen with water and food, who had been sent out from Pisco to seek them, but already one hundred and fifty of the unfortunates had died of thirst and weari ness, and fifty more expired upon the lellowing day. Forty-eight hour's wandering in those arid deserts, de prived of food and drink, is certain death to the strongest man. Rivers are scarce, and even where the bed of a stream is found, it is in many instances dry during the greater part of the. year. The traveller's danger is in creased by the shifting nature of the sand, which the wind raises in enormous clouds, and in columns eighty to one hundred feet hiv.h. The medanos are another strange phenomenon of these dangerous wilds. They are sand hills in the form of a crescent, ten or twenty fret high, and with a sharp crest. Their base is moveable, and when impelled by a tolerably strong wind, they wander rapidly over the desert ; the smaller ones, more easily -.lied, precedine 'lle large.

She is original in her great mesa, and supplies the standard by which alone she can be fitly judged. It is not by reerenee to others who have gone before her that she is to be estimated, but to what she is in herself. She is not to he criticised, but studied, as we study the master-pieces of some great sculptor, or poet. Arid she is the greatest poetess of cur time, in the power, the variety, the beauty of the images which she places before us, of the sentiments which she awakens, of the memories to endure with life itself implanted in us by her "so potent art". Words, however powerful, impression, do not so permeate and depths of our being, as the unwritten 7'B acting. It is not alone our fancy, our imagination, or cur intellect, that are excited—but with these our whole sentient nature is purified and re fined. -Her performances not merely send us away, fill e d with brighter and higher conceptions of the creatures of the poet's world, whom she has embodied, but better men, inspired with something of the Ideal, the study of which has made her the great mistress of her art, and great instructress of her time. Miss Helen Fancies im personations are nature itself ; but they are nature as it appears to the poet's eye—nature in its finest and most beautiful aspect. She pcssesses in an eminent degree the physical requisites for her art—a person graceful and dig !lined, a voice supremely fascinating in its " most silver !low," yet equal to the expression of the most command ing passion —a face gifted peculiarly with that " best part of beauty, which a picture cannot express--n', nor the first sight of the life."—a face wonderful indeed in the magic and variety of its expression. Along with these she possesses a complete command of all the resources which intelligence gathers from experience, and an obvious familiarity with the treasures of art, which has strength ened and exalted strong natural perceptions of the grace ful and beautiful in form and motion. But greater than all these is the spirit by which they are vivified and swayed ; the lofty impulses, the commanding powers of thought and feeling, the inspired energy, the pure taste, the exquisite ladyhoad of nature which are conspicuous in all Miss Faucit's personations. It is such visions as she presents that bless the dreams of poets ; and h a p py are we, who, in this dull mechanical time, have seen with our waking eyes a reality fair as imagination may picture. --Dublin University Magazine. proance nc steal into tl poetry of t lady dipped its feathery cr the eye could penetrate far down the reach, hemmed in as it was by trees, that clustered thick on the water's brink. To the right was what might be called an open glade; in the midst of it rose a tree, the branches of which were laden with a most singular-looking buiidle, or roll of pieces of wood. Struck with its appearance, we re'ted on oar oars to observe it, but scarcely had we done so, when from a point higher up, that appeared to livide the river into two branches, rose a thick volume of smoke, that soon filled the air, as if a huge black cloud had lighted in that direction. We endeavoured to proceed in order to satisfy our curiosity, but a rocky ledge, extending across the river, arrested our further progress at this time of the tide. Landing accordingly, I advanced for nearer inspection towards the huge bundle of sticks before men tioned. It seemed almost like the nest of some new bird, and greatly excited my curiosity. As I approached, a most unpleasant smell assailed me, and, on climbing up to examine it narrowly, I found that it contained the decay ing body of a native. Within the outer covering of sticks was one of net, with an inner one of the bark of the papyrus-tree, enveloping the corpse. According to the singular practice of uncivilised people of providing fur the wants of thosa who have nothing more to do with earthly things, some weapons were deposited with the deceas?d in this novel kind of mortuary habitation, and a little beyond was a rill of water. There was a loneliness in the spot perfectly in keeping with the feelings this strange discovery naturally called forth ; and, from the few recent signs of the natives, it would appear that here, as in other parts of the continent, spots where the dead lie are kept sacred. Some dark brown and black hawks were perched on the trees near, looking like so many mutes stationed to show respect to the departed ; but their intentions were of a different character. as they were waiting, I imagine, for some friendly gust of wind to shake off the covering of the deceased. While we were making these observations the conflagration on the point above continued to rage with great fury, and 1 have no doubt it was kindled in order to attract oar attention and prevent us from visiting the sacred spot. Though we saw not the Lorin of a living being, I am persuaded that the eyes of the natives were upon us, add that our every movement was watched. The method they adopted to lure us away from the neighbour hood of the dead was simple and lingeninus, and might have proved successful had not the interposing ledge of rocks prevented our further progress. To afect their purpose they must have burned up a very large space as the smoke that arose obscured all that quarter of the heavens.

AN EGYPTIAN FUNRRAI..—Another uncommon fune ral procession, that of Kharsheed Pasha, late governor of Sennar, passed our house a few days after that of the saint ; and as it was the most remarkable of all such spec tacles seen in Cairo since my arrival I am induced to de scribe it to you. It was preceded by six camels, each bear ing two boxes filled with corn and dates, above and be tween which sat the distributor with a stick in his hand to drive off the crowd that presssed upon him. making as great. a clamour as though they were all starving ; and strange to say, the most decently dressed persons were the most importunate. Then followed three camels with water • and then two buffaloes to be sacrificed at the tomb, and the flesh to be divided among the poor. These practices are always observed at the funerals of rich persons in Egypt, and, I believe, throughout the East. About thirty reciters of the Kur-an followed next, and about the same number of Sbeyksheaded alarge body of Turks of the middle classes, chiefly wearing the military dress. Then followed a tribe of Chaooshes, two and two, in full uniform ; and after these walked about fifty grandees of all ages. Their dresses were most picturesque, the varieties of colour they dis played rendering the group they formed by far the most striking feature in the proce,sion. There were among them some old men who had doubtless seldom before walked in the streets of Cairo. One, bent with age and apparently blind, was leaning on a youth who seemed to be his son, and many were much exhausted. They had all walked nearly a mile, and had to walk nearly a mile and a half further, the last half mile exposed to the burning sun. But to return to the order of the proces sion. Some boas walked next, each bearing a Kur-an ; and they were immediately followed by a crowd of men bearing incense in silver censors, filling the streets and houses with clouds of frankincense and other perfumes; while others, carrying sprinkling bottles of silver, showered their sweet contents around them on the more distinguished of the spectators. Then passed the bier, the at peerance of which was not unusual : it was covered with a red figured Cashmere shawl, and borne by four men. The ladies, female slaves, and friends and attendants of the harem next fol!owed, consisting of about twenty-five or thirty ladies, mounted on high donkeys, and perhaps twenty slaves on ordinary donkeys, and a host on foot. All the last mentioned screamed and wailed so loudly that the noise cannot easily be forgotten by those who have heard as well as seen a grand funeral Procession ; the mingling of voices—the reciters of the Kar-an—the chaunting boys—and the wading women, oc casioned a deafening yell hardly to be imagined. The led horses of the grandees bore up the rear, and thus con cluded a spectacle as singular as almost any which can have been witnessed in the streets of Catro.—Corres pendent :of the Times. STANCE OF AFFECTION FOR A CHILD.—I wit d in the family of a native, named Alligator, an nce of affection for a departed child, which, though hibited itself in this peculiar manner, was extremely touching. The wife had treasured up the bones of the little one, and constantly carried them about with her, not as a memento mori, but as an object whereon to expend her tenderest emotion, whenever they swelled within her breast. At such times she would put together these bones with a rapidity that supposed a wonderful know ledge of osteology, and set them up that she might weep over them. Perhaps in her imagination, as she performed this melancholy int.., the ghastly frame-work before her became imbued with the comely form of infancy ' • bright eyes once more sparkled in those hollow calls, anda smile of ineff tble delight hung where in reality was nought but the hideous grin of death.

COBDEN, (From the Lyndon Record.) We cannot but think that Sir Robert Peel might have paid a compliment to Mr. Cobden, without doing it in such a manner as might seem to approve of the constitu tion of the League, and of the system of its agitation, as is the reasonable inference from the right hon. baronet's speech of Monday night. When Lord Anglesea was recalled from Ireland, and said in his parting address to the Romanists, that his ad vice was " Agitate, Agitate, Agitate," every n denounced the folly of the c exhortation. con.ir his conduct he was fitter to charge at the ips of a retiring Viceroy : and only palliat of sense 'rout the ,y the recoil bead of a regiment of hussars than to govern a nation. But Sir Robert Peel must be regarded in a very different aspect, and we cannot but feel that his panegyric is fitted to stimulate the ambition of future agitators. and to cal into existence a new swarm of would-be Richard Cob dens. It cannot be forgotten that Sir Robert Peel at one time a very di )bden, and thought that he did not always " appeal to rea._ No , one can overlook the fact that when Mr. Drummond was assassinated by one who designed the bullet far Sir Robert Peel, the premier spoke in such a manner of Mr. Cobden's addresses to the great Anti-Coru.law meetings r as seemed to intimate that Mr. Cobden was morally responsible for the attempted murder. Great was Mr. Collerr's indig nation, but so unsatisfactory was Sir Robert Peei's ex planation of his meaning, that it was not until the rre sent session that Mr. Cobden expressed himself satisfied, that the imputation was withdrawn. But it is not to any private feeling between' Sir Robert Peel and Mr. Cobden, that we now look. We look to the fact that Mr. Cobden, not by appeals to reason merely, but by a powerful organization, meant to overawe the - le gislature,. has for many years laboured to carry'the repeal of the Corn-laws. Could the creation of fictitious vote& be styled "an appeal to rew=oa ?" Could the preparati ons on foot for supplanting the county constituencies be regarded as an "appeal to reason ?" _ Mre regret that Sir Robert Peel should have used stach language in regard to Mr. Cobden, although we are free to admit the great talents, the indefatigable industry, and the comparative moderation of that eminent agitator. We admit that amongst agitators he is entitled to a high place, but still he was an agitator. And it would have been quite as suitable if Sir Robert Peel, as he has now concluded his labours in favour of the abolition of the Corn-laws with a panegyric on Richard Cobden, bad closed his great effort on behalf of Roman Catholic Emancipation with a laboured panegyric on Daniel O'Connell. Richard Cobden and Daniel O'Connell are both unconstitutional agitat-irs, although we freely admit that as between them, the palm of truth, integrity, and principle, must be awarded, not to the selfish, blustering, equivocating mendicant of Ireland, but to the more self denying and truth-telling Leaguer of Stockport. TETE VALUE OF LAND AND SIR ROBERT PEEL'S MEASURES.—Our readers will remember we ventured a few strong thoughts last week on the subject of Sir R. Peel's new and decisive measures in respect to the corn laws; and as they may now be accounted as fixed and set tled, it may be a good time to pursue our remarks in re spect to its effect and its consequences. That portion of the community whom Mr. George Robins has designated those " who are more frightenedthan hurl," will do well to mark, learn, and inwardly digest ihe short commen tary with which we purpose to illumine our sceptical readers. The cry has been, and still coiitinu's, that the produce of the soil must now be so deteriorateii, and the tenantry everywhere so out of heart, that ruin and the Corn Bill are become synonymous terms with the aitricul r, I turist royal brass foundry of the Bavarian capital,_ des( especial notice, on account of a new method of chasing which has been resorted to in this case. It is known that newly-cut brass possesses a strong lustre, which destroys the mellow aspect of the work, on which account artists have resorted to the expedient of producing a sort of firti ficial patina by the use of mineral acids. For the sake of imparting to the above work a uniform mellow appearance without using acids, Inspector Muller has resorted to the method of deed chasing. This bas been perfectly success ful ; and the uniform tone %hich has been obtained in the whole work bids fair that the patina, as it will appear in due course of time, will be also uniform. By the use of different sorts of flits a really different grain of the metal has been cut out, which the artist was able to produce in accordance with the nature of the part thus treated. This method is said to be a real advance in the mechanism of the bronze-founding process.—The Builder. GOVERNESSES.—In Russia the governess is held in such respect that she is led forth as au honoured guest, taking precedence of the pupil whose education she has completed. In England it would be difficult to ascertain her posi,ion— charged with the sole care of the " precious jewels'? of an illustrious house—considered competent to cultivate their minds—to form their manners—to enlarge their views, that they may keep their position, and become all that is desired in Engl sh gentlewomen—the person who does all this, if admitted into society at all, is thrust, unintroduced, into a corner, and expected to retire when the younger children are sent to bed—slighted by the servants, who consider her a servant—and looked upon as a person to be dis missed as soon as done with by the mistress ! Fer one governess who receives a pension for past services—services which can never be repaid—there are, protected and pros perous, a hundred ladies' maids; it is not at all uncom mon to meet with pensioned servants, but a pensioned go verness is a rara avis ; we find them in hospitals or work houses, when they are overtaken by ill health, or faded into old age.—Art Union. THE FReNCH REVOLUTION AND THE PRESENT Cnists OF ENGLANP.—In days like ours, which begin to familiarise men with the chances of political convulsion, it may be well worth while to listen to the conceptions of one who better knew the nature of the French Revolution than perhaps any among the great actors of the time. Napoleon was sitting by his fireside, in St. Helena, on the 3d of September :—" To-day," said he, is the anni versary of a hideous remembrance, the St. Bartholomew of the French Revoluion—a bloody stain, which was the act of the Commune of Paris, a rival power of the legis lature, which built its strength upon the dregs of the passions of the people. * * * We must acknowledg that there has ben no political change wit' ' "' ut a fit of popular vengeance, as soon as, _ . - - - —.-- Now let us dispassionately, and with fairness and the mass of the people enter into action. * * * Ge- impartiality, l oo k to th e va l u e of thi s ran d om s h o t fi re d neral rule :—No social revolution without terror ! Every off by the Corn-law League to frighten good men out of revolution is in principle a revolt, which time and success their reasoning faculties. The consequences about which ennoble and render legal; but of which terror has been the Dukes of Richmond and Buckingham have alarmed one of the inevitable phases. How, indeed, can we un- th e m se l ves so muc h, at l eng th seem to have arrived at derstand that one could say to those who possess fortune fever heal. They proclaim, first, the fearful fall in the and public situations, ' Begone, and leave us your for- pro d uce o f t h e soil, indeed, to so low a scale as not to af tunes and your situations, , without first intimidating ford a remunerating price to encourage the honest farmer them, and rendering any defence impossible?

Then only did the people under stand the revolution, because they gained something, and _se good men and true must become hal-ruined, and give up their farm to a bidder class of successors, but net essarily at a lamentable discount on the rental. It shall be our business to oppose facts to the suppositious c.ses—these inventions—these sallies of a disorganised brain. In our recent observations we told the public nothing bad yet occurred that could guide our reason as to the important /I—if land had been or had not been depressed by Sir ley go c wished to keep it, even at the expense of blood." Ti language is memorable. It ought to be a lesson to En ,olitical revolution is iublic robbery Privileges may be the pretence, but the real object is plunder , and the progress of reason may be alleged as the instrument, but the true weapon is terror. In England we are preparing the way for a total change. The groundwork of a revolu tion is laid from hour to hour; the aristocracy, the church, the landed proprietors, are made objects of popular libel, only nrenaratory to their being male objects of public Robert's measures. We then said, in an addenda,tirti nothing of much importance had yet been in the market, and that we must wait patiently before we decided. for George Robins's long announced sale of the Net estate in Warwickshire, the Willen Hall estate. Before we arrived at a conclusion—we premised that this would be a safe criterion whereon to build our hopes or fears. Well, the eventful day—the long-looked-for 16th of June arrived'in C.Jallit.

The habits of England, we willingly allow, are opposed to oohlio cruelty ; and in the worst exc,sses, the France of 1793 would probably leave us behind. But the principle in every nation is the same —the possessors of property will resist, the plunderers of property will fight ; conflicting banners will be raised, and, after desperate struggles, the multitude will be the he remi due course, and now le,. u. The rental of this compact property is exactly £1,550 a year, to a tenantry without leases, and who have paid the rent for ten years without a murmur, or one solitary guinea of arrear. The estate is cne of the most compact in Warwickshire, the soil west congenial for money pet tiny—the x n r — a. :h ja o ro d i r a. y i far l m t s m n ay ot b s e u u rp r : ed surpassable— it is is snearly hardly a all tithe-free, and with this, the grand desideratum, it is fair case from which to draw a just result, but we aay with the French farmer " Mule au contraire."

Well, then, now is the time to see what was the determination of the tenantry. It must be rtmarked that every one a'ked for a lease, fearing a new landlord would add 10 per cent. to their rent, and this was not conceded. All were willing to pay the same, hut no more; but their countenances, however, showed but too plainly their fear at separation. Thanks to their fortu nate stars, all is right (as will presently be seen), and they continue in their uninterrupted happy state of occupation. And now for the great result—the Auction Mart was filled, and only by considerable capitalists. The rental, it h.as been stated, is £1,350 a year exactly. And now for the proof of depression; now for visible signs of the ruin brought on the agriculturist by Sir Robert Peel; now for the uncertain tenure of land. Hear this, " Oh, ye of little faith!" and especially those w h o deli:: ned, the last-named is that at t to- find a gifted Mi their fate and uister, whereby to cavil Poor peo valueless opinion is fast approaching to become manifest. The first offer made was £40,000., but it is known that Mr. George Robins, ever since his memorable sales of Lord Ormonde, in 1825 (which he sold for, 5007000 guineas), has adopted the system of always selling in guineas, so that be was obliged to ask Mr. Whickena, wbo made this offer (the agent of the Earl of Craven) to increase—his bidding —to guineas. That was cheerfully done, and then commenced the pleasing task of comPetl" lion.

HIGH SHERIFFS, " SIXTY YEARS SlNCE."—There is a tradition on the Oxford Circuit, that Sir F. Buller once, met at the first assize town with a very unsophisticated Sheriff, who bluntly demanded of his Lordship, as he was stepping into his carriage, whether he was a bona fide/ Judge, (the worthy functionary made but one syllable of fide) as they had been so often fobbed off with Sergeants in those parts? When satisfied on this important particular, he took his seat aside of the Judge. A grave severity on the countenance of Mr. Justice Buller occasioned some misgivings in the mind of the Sheriff; who expressed his fear that he had unwittingly done something wrong. "It is certainly,' said his Lordship with a smile, " against etiquette on these occasions for the sheriff to take his seat fronting the horses, unless,"—he put his band on the gentleman, who was starting up—" unless invited by the Judge, as I now invite you." Craddock tells a s'orp of a learned predecessors encounter with another Sheriff, not unamusine. The world was not then so highly refined ai at present. After the usual opening of common topics, such as the roads and the weather, the High Sheriff begat ' April 10 to feel himself a little mo re emboldened, and ventured to June 8 ask his Lordship whether, at the last Place, he had gone May 7 to see the elephant?
