Vottrp. THE MARRIAGE VOW From the New York Knickerbocker for J 4 Look how they come Of bright and 'lark, 1 Beneath the ti a holy thing, Speak it not lightly A bond enduring through long distant year! When joy o'er thine above ishovering, . . . Or wile. ...s wet with bitterest tears, Recorded by an angel's pen on high, , And must be questioned in eternity ! thine ey Speak it not lightly !—though the young and gay Are thronging round thee now, with tones of mirth, the holy promise of to-day fade like the clouds that with the worn have birth, But ever bright and sacred may it be, Stored in the treasure-cell of memory. Life will not prove all sunshine : there will come Dark hours for all : 0 will ye, when the night Of sorrow gathers thickly round your home, Love as ye did, in times when calm and bright Seem'd the sure path ye trod, untouched by care, And deemed the future like the present fair! Eyes that now beam with health, may yet grow dim, And cheeks of rose forget the early glow ; Languor and pain assail each active limb, And lay perchance, some worship'd beauty low ; Then will ye gaze upon the altered brow, And love as fondly, faithfully as now ! Should fortune frown on your defenceless head, Should storms o'ertake your bark on life's dark sea ; Fierce tempests rend the sail so gaily spread, When Hope her syren strain sang joyously; Will ye look up, though clouds your sky o'ercast, And say, " together we will bide the blast?" Age, with its silvery locks comes stealing on, And brings the tottering step, the furrow'd cheek, The eye from whence each lustrous gleam hath gone, And the pale lip, with accents low and weak ; Will ye then think upon your life's gay prime, And smiling, bid Love triumph over Time? Speak it not lightly ! Oh ! beware, beware ! 'Tis no vain promise, no unmeaning word ; Lo! men and angels lisp the faith ye swear, And by the high and holy ONE 'tis heard ; O then kneel humbly at His altar now, And pray for strength to keep your marriage vow ! LITERARY NOTI CE S Blackwoot , Magazin August, 1840 The interest of " Ten Thousand a Year" continues to be xtremely well supported in Black irood. The part container the present number is fr gig with deep pathos contraste Second Chapte Turkish Histo: historical re 1 clue to many event; which have 61 N. hitherto been but imperfectly traced to their sources Few Passages concerning Omens, Dreams, &c amusing article, replete with illustrative anecdotes Tobias Correspondent is very cleverly written Tee-total ti a very "The The m and Total Abstinence" is an exquisite satire. The method by which the writer throws ridicule upon the principles of the rigid advocates of total abstinence is frequently amusing, especially when he demon strates that " the very water which we drink is composed of two stimulating poisons of the most destructive character." " The Metropolitan Stage" abounds in original thoughts, and displays a thorough acquaintance with the subject. The critique on "The History of the Celtic Language" is fre quently highly humorous. " Art and its Vehicles" is written with much good taste. The poetical articles in this number are far above mediocrity. Fraser's Maya ine. August, 1840 We have seldom opened a more interesting number of Fraser than the present. It opens with an elaborate review of " Ranke's History of the Popes of the Sixteenth and Se- venteenth Centuries," in which the Neologian views of the Professor are suitably animadverted upon. We heartily re joice to see the " Epistles to the Literati" revived. We should be sorry to miss these agreeable notices of men and manners. " Going to see a Man Hanged " is the abrupt title to an excellent paper. We cannot, however, agree with the writer in his conclusions on the subject of capital punish ment. The continuation of the "Tableaux of the most emi nent Soldiers of the Eighteenth Century" will afford a rich treat to the military reader. The " Blue Friar Pleasantries" are as lively and piquant as ever. The short notice of "Beau mont and Fletcher" is very interesting and curious. We have perused with much delight the " Extracts from my Journal between Chili and Jamaica." The writer furnishes much novel information respecting Puna, Guayaquil, and Panama. The " Sketches of National Literature" are evi dently from the pen of an accomplished scholar. " A Shabby Genteel Story"—" A Railway Trip" and the French Sc- ' are severally deserving of praise question. • Any person who paid attention (and who has not ?) to the clamours of the republcan newspapers for some years past, must have been persuaded, had he not known better, that the citizens of the state of Maine were a set of the most oppressed and ill-used of God's creatures—lambs worried by the prowling wolves of England—turtle-doves fluttered in their nest—stricken and, sighing sufferers under wanton injury, with whom the world must sympathize, and who well deserved that every man able to use a firelock would join in that appeal to arms which they so long and lustily have threatened. The press of England, and The Times amongst other journals, had vaguely apprehended, without direct in quiry, that the American claims had partially, though not entirely, some sort of foundation in positive truth and justice, and that a mutual compromise, or in other words a certain sacrifice of pretensions on both sides, might be necessary towards an equitable adjustment of the feud. Our own fear was that the claim of Eng land to the line of boundary from Mars-hill (south west) towards the source of the Connecticut river might, by reference to history, prove to be untenable, and that we should very possibly have had to bribe America by a - sum of money into a peaceable ac quiescence in the demand of a road or some narrow strip of territory along which to carry our indispensable communications between Fredericktun and Quebec. It was assumed as almost certain, that where there was so much smoke, there must have been some spark of fire—that where here was such confident and vehe ment assertion, there could scarcely fail to be some plausible pretence whereon to justify or excuse it—and that, in fact, if Maine was not altogether in the right, it was out of the question but that England must he to a considerable extent mistaken. We shared that impression, so prevalent of late years amongst our countrymen, and should, according to the blindness of our credulity, have, not.reluctantly, compounded for a surrender of some portion of the national claim. From such a necessity it is most gratifying to be convinced by the official report above alluded to that Great Britain stands henceforth completely and finally relieved. It has seldom occurred to us to meet in the course of any political controversy a demonstration so triumphant as, that brought forward on the pare of Colonel Mudge and Mr. I'eatherstonhaugh in support of a right so hotly and pertinaciously disputed. The temper, the diligence, the reasoning power, the tho rough knowledge of their subject in all its branches, and their lucid exposition of such a variety of complex and difficult matter which are presented by the report of these able gentlemen, must do them the higheSt honour both here and in America, although praise from the latter quarter may no doubt be but grudgingly bestowed. Indeed, after the disappointment which this decisive paper will have inflicted upon the con fident anticipations of many thousands of sanguine minds among our neighbours, we cannot wonder, and ought scarcely to blame them for showing signs 'of considerable dissatisfaction. We trust, however, that the good sense of America, when it has had time to operate, and the respect for justice, which belongs to, as it ought to be inherent in, a free people, boasting of the fairness of their foreign policy and the wisdom of their domestic institutions, will ere long smooth down any angry sentiments which may have been excited by this occurrence, and will leave unimpaired and unin terrupted their friendly relations with Great Britain. It would be an attempt at once irksome and super fluous for our readers to follow us through an analysis of the facts and arguments which constitute the body of proof in this report. It may suffice to state, as the result of the labours assigned to the commissioners, that they have satisfactorily ascertained, by a strict in vestigation of the face of the country, by an industri ous perusal and comparison of charters, treaties, trans fers of territory; and other historical records, the abso lute and undisputable conformity between the intent and spirit of the treaty of 1783 and the demarcations of territory originally contended for by Great Britain ; that no portion Of the " disputed" districts ever could, under the authority of that treaty, or with any colour of justice, have been claimed by the United States; that the award of the King of Holland, which trans ferred to the republic about three-fifths of the " dis puted territory," was rounded on erroneous data, and on entire ignorance of facts which have been subse quently developed; that the award of that sovereign, if accepted by the parties, could never have been exe cuted under any circumstances, the structure of the country interposing thereto physical and irremove able obstacles ; that, so far from the smallest frac tion of the disputed territory falling within the line of the United States, a rigorous construction of some authoritative documents would actually prove a just title on the part of England to a portion of what has heretofore been regarded as part of the state of Maine itself ; and that, Li fine, the conclusions upon which certain " official agents of the republic have rested the American case, instead of being the legiti mate results of practical investigation, are unsnbstun tial inventions brought forward in the absence of all real investigation, conveying erroneous ideas of the na ture of the country, and calculated to mislead not only their own authorities, but public opinion in the United States and in Europe, as to the merits of the ques tion." . Again and again the same conviction is emphatically repeated—viz., that "notwithstanding the assertions which during so long a period have been so confidently urged, that the United States alone can rightfully claim the territory in question, we hope to have proved that the claim of Great Britain does not, as has been al leged, rest upon vague and indefensible grounds ; but that she has always had a clear and indefeasible title, by right and by possession, to the whole of the disputed territory—a title, it .is true, which has hitherto been somewhat obscured by its rather complicated history, and by the want of that interest which countries in the state of a wilderness sometimes fails to inspire." To the rights thus ably stated and zea!ously enforced it is not too much to express a hope that full justice will be done by the government of this great country, and that the credit reflected on the commissioners by the service they have now rendered to Great Britain will not be turned into disgrace against their employ- . ers, through a failure to maintain with skill, firma ess, and patriotism, the national interests thus brought home to the consciousness of all intelligent and honest men. THE SPRING RICE JOB (From the Dublin Evening Mail.) In our last we gave a report of what took place in the House of Commons, in reference to this recent transaction. It would really seem as though the country were never to get to the end of the jobs of this " lively little West Briton." The one now under consideration was exposed in the House of Commons on Friday last, by Mr. Emerson Tennent. When the Shannon was to be surveyed, with a view to im provements in its navigation, the duty, being so extensive, was committed to a distinct commission, with the under standing that on completing this survey their functions were to cease, and the works were to be under the management of the body who are constituted and paid for such services— namely, the Board of Public Works. To the new commis sion, ou this understanding, Mr. Matthew Barrington was appointed solicitor. To Mr. Barrington, personally, of course no fault can possibly be found—and even in his selection for this occasion, there is nothing to blame, But now comes the job. Mr. Barrington, it is well known is Mr. S. Rice's pri vate solicitor and his political friend. The survey is finished, and the works recommended as approved of, and of course the country will expect that the Commissioners of Public Works are now to begin their duty of carrying then into effect. But no such thing takes place ; for in that case, their solicitor, Mr. Stewart, would receive all the profits and, fees of the conveyances, surveys, &c. &c. • and the favourite protege of the Chancellor of the Exchequer would receive nothing. To avoid this, and to saddle the country with a new set of functionaries, the form of a new commission is adopted, but consisting, in reality, merely of the officers of the old commissioners, and with separate offices, separate clerks, a separate staff of every class, and, of course, a sepa rate solicitor, and that solicitor Mr. Matthew Barrington. As to this gentleman personally, we repeat we do not object; but why is he to be thus juggled and thimble-rigged into an -officer, for the mere imroose of drawing away the emolu ments which ought, in all fairness as well as sound economy, to go to the actual solicitor, Mr. Stewart ? The first fruits of this job were a vote of £11,300, on Friday-last, for the services of the new solicitor.

August, 1840. This number does not contain a single article of a strictly Dublin Univi 11/ Magaz politi cal character 'o some this may possibly be a recom- mendation ; to us it is a source of sincere regret, as we place a high value on the talented remarks on the topics of the lent magazine contains The review of " Dr. Wall on Alphabetical Writing" is learnedly written, and contains some important suggestions. The " Portrait Gallery" is adorned with a sketch of Mrs. S. C. Hall, the well-known authoress. Her countenance, like her writings, is emphatically Irish. The continuation of " Charles O'Malley, the Irish Dragoon," strongly reminds us of some of the best passages in Harry Lorrequer. We are glad to find that " Lady Morgan's Woman and her Master" has been treated just as that ridiculous book deserves ticisms on her ladyship's peculiarly affected style are very amusing. The incidents in the chequered life of " George Robert Fitzgerald" are extremely well related. The article The cri- on " Romanism on the Continent" merits an attentive per usal. " A Legend of Ulster in 1641," abounds in daring adventure. The essay on " Church Establishments and the Voluntary System" is ably written. The author has quoted largely from Wardlaw, Chalmers, and Wlsleile. This sub ject is to be resumed. The Asiatic Journal. August, 1840 This is a remarkably interesting number. In its " Review of Eastern News" we have a clear and succinct account of the more recent transactions in that important region. The "Notes of a Journey through France and Egypt to Bombay," from the pen of Emma Roberts, is eloquently written. " The Doctrine of the Parsis," is the title of a re markably curious paper on a subject which is but little known. The account of " The Manners and Customs of the Japanese" will not fail to repay the trouble of a careful perusal. " The Rat that conquered Ghilan" is a translation of an amusing fable. The history of the " Campaign in Affghanistan," and the description of the " Anglo-Burmese Provinces" contain much original information. The Asiatic furnishes another well-written article on the much-agitated question of " Steam Communication with India," which is temperately and can didly written. The " Scenes in Southern India" abound with interesting notices of the habits, manners, and domestic life of the inhabitants. The copious intelligence furnished in the pages of this excellent periodical from all parts of Hindostan, Persia, China, Australasia, New Zealand, the Cape of Good Hope, &c., must be highly valuable to all who have friends or connections in those distant lands. The Colonial Magazine. August, 1840 We are glad to find that this excellent magazine, the to • lented editor of which has been so successful in blending the useful with the entertaining, is rapidly rising in public esti- The peculiar sources of information to which Mr. Martin has, during a long course of years, obtained access, have been turned to admirable account. The opening paper, on " The Effects of the Abolition of Slavery in the British West India Colonies," contains some statements from which we feel bound to express our dissent. It is, however, can didly written on the whole. The article on " Van Dieman's mation Land" contains some strange accounts of the bushrangers. The essay on " Oceanic Tides and Currents" enters upon a highly important, but too much neglected, field of inquiry. The nautical student will derive much important information from its perusal. The article on " The Government of Ja maica" is written in a good spirit. " Steam to India" forms the subject of another clever article. The account of the " Rebellion in Upper Canada, and the Invasion of the Ame ricans," in connection with the paper on " The Canada Bill, and its Consequences," are highly important at the present moment. The miscellaneous intelligence in the Colonial .3fagazine will be found very copious and interesting. Tail's Edinburgh Magazine. August, 1840, The opening article in this number, on " The Rod and the Gun," will afford a rich treat to the sporting reader. It is copiously illustrated by beautifully executed wood engravings. Scenes abroad and thoughts at home," though well written, contains much that is highly objectionable. We do not agree with the writer in his speculations on marriage. The continuation of " Violet Hamilton; or, the Talented Family," is highly affecting in some passages. The critique Influence of Democracy on Society" Tocqueville's deeply tinged with republican views a delightful essay, full of poetical imagery are replete with stirring inci- " The Green Lane" The " Chro- ides I of the Place Vendome dent. The English Opium-Eater has once more resumed his charming " Sketches of Life and Manners." I n the present number of Tait he has furnished us with some addi tional anecdotes respecting the literary circles in the neigh bourhood of the Lakes. The " Literary Register" indicates much good taste and critical acumen. The " Political Re gister," as might be expected, is pervaded by ultra-liberal views, not unmixed, however, with some severe hits at the present incapable ministry. SHOCKING I)EATII.—On Saturday, evening, the 18th ult. ? a man who takes care of a stallion, belonging to Mr. Wilson, of Drumcroon, near Coleraine, met with his death in the following manner :—He was cleaning his horse in the stable without having taken the precaution to tie him up. The horse, from some cause, suddenly became infuriated, caught the man by the side, and threw him against the stall. The poor fellow escaped from him, and crawled under the manger, when the enraged animal wenton his knees and dragged him out with his teeth. He never ceased biting him about the head and arms, at the same time trampling upon him with his fore feet, till he had him reduced almost to a mummy. , The mark of his two shoes was actually imprint e d on hi s breast. Mr. Wilson and his servant, hearing hi s cries at tempted to get into the stable to his relief, but the horse kicked so furiously at them, that to have persisted in enter ing would have been at the risk of their lives. As soon as the horse found the man dead, he became calm, andwalketi quietly up to his stall.—Ulster Times. and Clubs coNTPjirbizAßl - PRESS THE MAINE BOUNDARY QUESTION. (From the Times of Friday.) The report of Commissioners Mudge and Feather stonhaugh upon the north-western boundary of the British province of New Brunswick is among the most important documents that we have ever read, and the most decisive as to the merits of a great international SKETCH OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS [We abridge the following 'admirable sketch from one of a series of papers in the Britannia, entitled, " The Anatomy of Parliament."] In all probability, the majority of my readers have never been within the walls of the House of Lords ; and would ra ther have a circumstantial description of .what it really is, than be called upon to indulge at second-hand in associations which are after all perhaps somewhat trite. For this pur pose, then, we will post ourselves in the gallery appropriated SE.LEcT EXTRACTS DISCOVERY OF ANTIQUES IN WALLACIIIA.—A letter which M. Saint-Marc Girardin has received from Bucharest contains some interesting particulars of an archaeological dis covery recently made in Wallachia. The letter is from M. Billecocq, consul-general of France in the principalities of the Danube, and states, that at a distance of two or three leagues N.W. of Bonzeo, a small town of Wallachia, situate on the road from Bucharest to Jassy, some peasants found several objects in the fields where they were at work, which they supposed to be of common metal, and therefore sold the most massive for a trifle to one of those troops of Bohemians who travel the country, exercising the profession of farriers and tinkers. " This utensil, which by its form might be taken for a vast water-jug, was broken up with a hatchet by its new proprietors, for the purpose of satisfying themselves as to the nature of the metal, and the use to which they could turn it. It was of pure gold, as were all the other objects found at the same time, and remaining in the hands of the peasants. The prince, when at length he heard of these facts, instituted inquiries on the Subject, and all the articles were given up to his agents ; but to this day it has been impossible to obtain from the peasants the knowledge of the exact spot at which the discovery was made. Even threats of criminal proceedings and punishment have failed. I send yon a com plete list of these fine antiques, and drawings of some of them. I say antiques, because the mythological representations which they bear justify me in at once assigning the whole of them to ancient art. On one of the collars, of which I send you a drawing, there is an inscription which might prove .a very valuable indication; but to all here it is unintelligible. Even at Vienna the inscription has been pronounced undeci pherable ; but I should think it will be read at the Institute." The list accompanying the letter contains a very detailed ac count of the various objects recovered from the peasants and Bohemians; all which are of gold, some ornamented with crystal and coloured stones. They include two rings or large circles—a gorget or breastplate—four lamps, one representing a falcon, two the goddess Iris, and the fourth without figured ornament; three vases with handles, a plateau or tray, and a patera.—.Athenceum. • • • - - - to stranger... At the further end of the house, between the two high glazed doors which form the peers' entrance, is the throne. It is placed under a splendid canopy, and raised two or three steps from the floor. All that is not gilded is covered with crimson cloth. Behind the throne, under the canopy, in a circular emblazonment of gold, are the Royal initials ; but, by a strange negligence, the " W. R." has not yet been re placed by the initial of the Queen. The space in front of the throne, and on the steps, is occasionally occupied by gentlemen who are introduced by the Lord Chancellor's or der, and the three or four aristocratic-looking boys who are paying such devout attention to the proceedings are the sons of peers. Immediately in front of the throne is what is called the woolsack—a large crimson mound or bank, like nothing but itself, in the centre of which sits the Lord Chancellor, in all the glories of a silk gown and full judicial wig. A less commodious seat for one who has to be there for many hours, after a fatiguing day in the Chancery Court, cannot well be conceived. Other peers occasionally lounge about on the woolsack, though, as there is no back to lean against, one is at a loss to account for their taste. Imme diately in front of the woolsack are two other banks of the same kind stretching forward into the house, which are also used as seats or lounging-places. The Princes of the Blood generally occupy them when present in the house. In front of these is the table, at which sit, wall their faces to the Chancellor, two or snore clerks (barristers) in wigs and gowns ; and, occasionally, a master-in-chancery or so. The former individuals have to read petitions and other matters to the house, when desired to do so, and are chiefly distin guished by being the worst readers in the United Kingdom. In front of the table, between it and what is called the " bar," behind which strangers and members of the other house are admitted, are situated the cross benches of the Duke of Richmond and other neutral noblemen—those who have not yet made up their minds, or who have no minds to make up. The great mass of peers are ranged on benches stretching on each side along the 'sides of the house, from the glass doors before mentioned down to the bar. Of these the go vernment and their supporters sit on the right of the Chan cellor, and the opposition on the left. As you view them from the strangers' gallery, or stand at .the bar, however, these positions, of course, appear reversed—the opposition being on your right and governinent on your left. So much for the ground plan ; now for the tilling up. But before you begin to inquire who the individual peers are, the first impression that strikes you is the gentlemanly aspect of the whole assembly. No buzz, no creaking of boots and scraping of feet, such as you hear in the House of Commons —but all quiet, easy, and well-bred. You instinctively feel that you are in an assembly of gentlemen, nor do you see or hear anything to dispel the illusion. The peers are in one peculiar respect distinguished from the commons: they pay a due attention to dress. There are no dirty, vulgar men in the House of Lordss—no men with soiled stockings and dis ordered shoe-ties. They do not seem to favour the delusion that slovenliness and talent have any necessary relationship. Now for the peers themselves. Immediately on the right of the lord chancellor, and on the extreme left of the house, as viewed from the gallery, is the bench of bishops. In the front is a meek, sickly-looking prelate, in a close-fitting dark wig. He is the Archbishop of Canterbury, against whom not even his enemies have a word to say. He can champion the church without provoking the ire of her foes. Near him is .the less abstracted, but scarcely less respected, Bishop of London. His full, ruddy face, offers a fine contrast to the pale visage of the archbishop. Conspicuous among these divines is the celebrated Bishop of Exeter. The next seats to the bench of bishops, farther down the house on the right of the chancellor, are occupied by ministers. In the midst of them sits, or rather lolls, the all-potent, because all impotent, Melbourne. Observe the careless air with which his white hat is tilted off his forehead, and the dolce far niente which his whole bearing expresses. He is turning hastily over the leaves of a government bill—it is the first time he has looked at it, though the order of the day for its second reading is now being moved ! The tall dandy, with a face like the Saracen's Head in acute grief, is the Marquis of Normanby. An elderly gentleman next him, fresh-co loured, and with a staid, respectable air, is his brother-Mar quis, of Lansdowne. A very stout, infirm old man, with crutches, a bald head, and bearing in his face a marked re semblance to the great Charles James Fox, is his nephew, Lord Holland. He is chiefly remarkable for vociferous cheering at inconvenient times, and for making good speeches greatly to the embarrassment of his colleagues. To the right of the Marquis of Lansdowne you will observe a peer with a peculiarly sheepish expression and enormous shirt-collar— that is Lard Duncannon. In spite of his very silly appear ance, his lordship is one of the few men of business in the ministry; but the desk, not the house, is his sphere. Im mediately adjoining ministers, on their right, and at the head of a bench that is scarcely separated from theirs, sits Lord Brougham. He displayed his usual sagacity in the choice of that seat. He is as it were among the ministers, but not of them ; yet the neutrality of his position is not so marked as to signify the impossibility of reunion. Behind the noble and learned lord, on the back bench, sits the Earl of Radnor. To his right sits the Marquis of Clanricarde, concerning whom even his friends are silent ; near him, also, sits Lord Denman, with that tine severe face of his—the index of so much more than his mind contains. Let us now turn to the conservative benches—on the left of the Chancellor.. First, in all points of view, let us single out the Duke of Wellington. He sits at the end of the first bench, in front. His dress is the simplest, consisting of a blue frock coat, and plain white trousers. His attitude is singular. ' With his arms folded, his head sunk on his breast, his hat Blotched over his eyes, and his legs stretched out their full length on the floor, he would appear to be asleep and re gardless of all that is going on. But if you watch his mouth, you will perceive that he is engaged in deep thought, and fre quently he rises and proves that he has been so, either by delivering a plain, manly John-Bull-like exposition ,of his views, or by answering in detail the arguments of those who have gone before. Next to the illustrious duke, is his par liamentary squire, Lord Ellenborough—the peer with a full, fresh colour, and curling bead of dark hair. One of the most clear-headed and sensible of his party, he has until lately ne glected business for pleasure, but he is now an altered man, and seems wisely to have become a sort of parliamentary pupil of the duke. Immediately on his right is a dark-haired, pale man, dressed in black, and with the air of a very serious clergyman of the establishment—it is the Earl of Aberdeen. also a strong, clear-headed man. Lower down, an infirm old man, with white hair and supported by crutches, is Lord Wynford ; near him is Lord Kenyon, the peer whose cheek is ruddy with health, but whose hair and whiskers are white as snow. Behind the Duke, on the back bench, is the Earl of Wicklow, a stout, ruddy-faced man, with sandy hair. When he does not get into a passion, there are few more sen sible men in his party. On the same row at the extreme end of the house, farthest from the Lord Chancellor, Lord Lynd hurst has chosen to post himself, for what reason it is difficult to say. Quite cut oil from the other leaders of his party, jt would seem that the inconvenience of the position is its charm. Any other man would feel embarrassed at having to address the house from such a distance ; but Lord Lynd hurst's fine, clear, manly, trumpet-like voice, overcomes all obstacles of space, as his self-possession overcomes all those of situation ; and he makes himself heard, aye, and felt too, in any part of the house. If the strong and characteristic contrast between the Houie of Commons and the Upper House be marked in the build ing, its decorations, and the personal appearances of the members, how much the more evident is it in their respec tive modes of conducting a debate ! The reader is aware that scenes of riot and confusion occur at times in the Lower House, in comparison with which the councils of the Indian Sagenachs are venerable. In the House of Lords no such scenes occur. The only event of the kind that at all ap proached to them, was when the late King came down to prorogue parliament after the rejection of the reform bill. But how different was the display of feeling ! If ever strong excitement was pardonable, it was on such an unprecedented occasion. Yet it did not degenerate into riot, 'as is the case in the House of Commons; and their lordships had scarcely given way to it when it was put a stop to. The fact is, that the tone which pervades the house, and the good breeding of its members, precludes such exhibitions. No man is in that house by accident—all have their credentials, either of birth or of talent. But not in the absence of noise, and the main tenance of order alone, is the superiority of the House of Lords evident ; the tone of the debating is far superior. Almost every man who rises in that house is, more or less, a statesman. He feels himself—not the representative of a mere class, the advocate of an isolated few, but one of the guardians of the welfare of the community—a member of the high court of appeal of the nation—the constitutional mode rator of the passions and prejudices of the people. ON THE ANTIQUITY OF TREES The longevity of trees is a subject of interest, to the know ledge of which a value must be justly attached., when it is known that some trees were contemporary with the oldest generations of mankind. They have, in certain cases, thrown light on the history of monuments ; as the monuments in re turn have reflected the same light of knowledge on those an cient trees that grew near them. The specimens of these patriarchs of the vegetable world are numerous, and if their immense age be only ascertained with precision, there will even be found in these facts some means of fixing an approx imative date to the last revolutions of the globe. The Cedars—Those on Lebanon, measured in 1660 by Maundrel and Pocok, were supposed to be then about 609 years old, and about 800 years old in 1787, when again seen by . M. Labellordiere. The Lime is an European tree which, in a given time, ap pears able to acquire the largest diameter. That of the Chateau of Chaille neat ( Melles, in the department of the Deux-Sevres, was in 1804 about 538 years old ; that of Trons in the Grisons in 1798, must have been about 583 years old ; that of Depeham, near Norwich, and of Henstalt in Wur temberg, were also very aged, last needing props. The large and small leaved limes must be distinguished: between, as the formei;griivisTaster than the latter. The Cypresses, among the trees in the south of . Europe, live to the most advanced age. Hunter says that, in 1776, there existed in the garden of the Palace of Grenada, cy presses that were celebrated even in the time of the Moorish kings, and which were named Cupressos de la Reg na Sultana —from a sultaness who was seen under it with th Abencer rages. The largest'now known is near the Lago Maggiore. The immense cypress of Chapultepec, which, it is said, has attained 117 feet 10 inches round, is probably the most an; cient vegetable produCtion of the globe. The Sweet Chesnuts appear to groiv to a great age. Pie derte says he saw one in the county of Gloucester, which was supposed to be nearly 900 years old. (This is the Tortworth Chesnut at Lord Ducie's.) Bose mentions one near Lan cerre 30 feet round, and which has for 600 years borne the title of the " Great'Chesnut.” The Orange and Lemon are among the European trees of the slowest growth and the greatest age: It is'stated that the orange tree in the Convent of Santa Sabina at Rome, was planted by St. Domenico in 1200, and that of Fondi by St. Thomas d'Aquinas in 1278. The Olive is a tree.that can live to an astonishing age, in any country, where it is not liable to be pruned. M. de Chateaubriand says, in his " Itinerary," that the eight olive trees in the garden,of that name in Jerusalem, only pay each a media to the Grand Seignior, which proves that they ex isted at the period of the invasion of the Turks • for those planted since that time pay a tax of half their produce. The largest olive tree mentioned in Italy by Pecconi is at Pescio ; this tree, according to Moschettini, must be 700 years old. The Yew appears, of all European trees, to attain the greatest age. Of these venerable trees there are several in England, whose ages have been ascertained : Those of the ancient Abbey of Fountains, near Ripon, in Yorkshire, were in 1770, more than twelve centuries old. Those of the churchyard of Crowhurst in Surrey, if they still exist, must be fourteen centuries and a half old. Those of Fotheringay, in Seotland,m s _ ust o b r er s eckoned at from twenty-five to tw ent y -six centuri.e .pth g a le. It is possible that these are the oldest they of Euro pean vegetation.

Walmsley , of Heaton Moor, measuring G ft. 6 in. in height, and strong in proportion.— Stockport Advertiser. HomE SICKNESS.—One case is recorded in which a Breton regiment, who were quartered in barracks, I forget where, lost a considerable number of men by sickness, entirely brought on by pining for their homes. The hospitals were crowded, and it was thought that it would be absolutely necessary to have disbanded the regiment, when some clever fellow, more capable, probably, of comprehending the na ture of the feelings, under the violence of which these men were perishing, than the other medical attendants, bethought him of sending for two or three Breton bagpipers, who were placed beneath the hospital windows, and there directed to play some of the popular national airs. The effect was magical. The sick men dragged themselves from their beds, first to the windows, and soon down to the court below. In every case health was re-established ; and it was found that the continued practice of indulging the men, at a certain hour daily, with the familiar strains of their much loved instrument, afforded a sufficient relief to their over flowed feelings, to prevent a recurrence of the disastrous consequences of their total suppression.—Trollope's Sum mer in Brittany. • STATE 01. THE JEWS IN PERSIA .—I conversed repeat edly and freely with the Khak ham, or Chief Rabbi, and others of their chief men, and was struck more deeply than ever with the terrible fulfilment of prophecy; in their instance. Their common occupations at Hamadan are as workers in silver, twisters of silk, and sellers of old coins.. They are ex tremely ignorant, and wear that cringing and slavish de meanour which is everywhere the badge of oppression. They know little even about themselves. They dress like thc Per sians, and when abroad, speak Persian or Turkish, but at home Hebrew. I asked the rabbi whether they had any tra dition among them of the time when their ancestors came to this country. He said that they belonged to the tribe of Judah, and were descended from the Jews who were brought captive into these regions. "And where are the ten tribes ?" I asked. " A part of them were in Bokhara, and the rest are scattered.' " But why do you not return to the land of your fathers ? " "We are waiting for the Messiah, who will restore us with all our race." I pointed him to Jesus of Nazareth, but the old man only hung his head and sighed. I asked him again, why, if they were so oppressed as he re presented, they did not remove into some other country. He replied that they could not leave the city without a written permission from the governor, which it was impossible to procure ; that, if they attempted to escape, they should be overtaken and brought back, and that their misery could be greatly aggravated. They have three synagogues in Hama dan. A fourth has recently been erected, but was at once torn down by the Mussulmans.— Southyale's Travels in Turkey and Persia. ROYAL POET.—The late Shah was in some respects a re markable man. He possessed most of the good and bad qua lities of a Persian. He was vain, and fond of flattery, ima ginative and devoted to pleasure, yet shrewd, affable, and dignified ; capable of the most arbitrary acts, yet not cruel ; excessively proud of his personal appearance ; fond of show and regal state, yet not an oppressive or tyrannical ruler. He, professed to be a poet, and I remember to have seen a volume of his productions in the bazars at Tehran. A Persian related to me one day the following anecdote, as illustrative of the character of his efforts in this department of literature. He had just completed a new performance in metre, which he flattered himself possessed peculiar excellence. Calling, therefore, for the court poet, whom, after the manner of the East, be had constantly attached to his person, he read the poem before him, and demanded his opinion. The poet, fear ing lest his own emoluments should be endangered by this growing propensity of the Shah to rhyme for himself, and bring also a man of uncommon honesty, expressed a very un favourable criticism upon the piece. The Shah, enraged at the audacity with which he spoke the truth, ordered his ser vants to conduct him to the stable, and tie him up with a donkey. The poor poet remained in this dolorous situation several days, when he was again ordered into the royal pre sence, and his opinion asked upon another performance which the Shah had perpetrated during his confinement. The poet listened in silence, and when it was finished, venturing no more to express his opinion openly, lie fell upon his knees before the King, and implored that he might be sent back to the stable.—Southgale's Travels in Turkey and Persia. PERSIAN DERVISHES. —We saw also large numbers of the Persian dervishes in the city. These religions mendi cants resemble more the santons and fakirs of India than the dervishes of Turkey. They are not, like the latter, gathered into communities, but roam over the country, living upon charity, and practising villanies of every sort. They carry with them a horn, which they blow on approaching a town, and a little wooden vessel, in which they receive their alms. They are not respected by the peoyfle, and are exceedingly insolent. They are clamorous in demanding charity, and sometimes sit down before a houge with the determination not to quit it until money is given. There they remain, day after day, and week after week, execrating the inmates, until their dethand is granted, or they are beaten away. One sat in this manner more than three months before the British residency in Bagdad. A-story was told me at Tehran of another, who placed himself in a niche of the wall in front of the ambassador's palace. His incessant importunities becoming troublesome, and it not being thought safe to oust him by force, a curious expedient was devised. The ambas sador gave orders that the niche should he bricked up. The dervish was warned of the intention, but persisted in main taining, his position until the wall had advanced as high as his chin, when he thought it prudent to ask a release. In another instance, at Shiraz, a dervish had taken his station at the foot of the flag-staff, where his clamour soon became annoying. The agent quietly gave orders that the staff should be washed every morning, and a man was sent up for the purpose, who poured down pails full of water, until the intruder beneath was glad to decamp.—Southgate's Travels in Turkey and Persia. TEMPERANCE. — The chief cause of most of the diseases to which the human body is subject, is a superabundant acid in the stomach ; and that superabundance of acid is occasioned by overloading the stomach with food or drink. For the stomach can digest only a certain portion of food in a given time, namely, that which is in contact with its sides ; all the rest must wait its turn , consequently if the stomach be over loaded, the superabundant food will ferment and generate an acid; and the portion of food thus fermented and converted into acid, when it comes, in its turn, to be spread over the sides of the stomach. for the purpose of being converted into chyme, frets and irritates the stomach by the acrid and cor rosive qualities, and very often produces inflammation, more or less violent, which is indicated either by heartburn ' eruc tation, stomach-ache, or other distressing sensation. Nor is this the whole of the injury. If the effects of the acid be not arrested, all the organs which sympathize with the stomach partake of the distress, in proportion to their previous con stitutional strength or debility. Numerous instances occur in medical annals of death having been occasioned by inor dinate eating. Sir Everard Home mentions an instance of a child losing its life from eating too large a quantity of apple pudding. Morgagni relates an account of a like fate happen ing to a woman from eating too large a quantity of onions preserved in salt and vinegar. And Bonnetus, in his Sepal chrum, states the case of a boy who died in three hours from eating immoderately of grapes. In each case, the stomach, when opened, was quite tense, and consequently its powers of action perfectly paralyzed.—Hand Book of Health.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, AUGUST 1 TheS'4lil;;VGr;in:ltTc., either of Foreign or British produce. have, this week, been very moderate. The receipts from abroad including 1,860 barrels of Flour from Canada and 1,200 sacks front the East Indies. The have been released from bond 4,176 quarters of Oats, 1,348 quarters Beans, and 1,134 barrels of Flour. The only change in duties is an advance of is 6d per quarter on Barley. We have now had several days of fine weather, under the influence of which prices of .free Wheat have rather given way. Yesterday purchases were effected at 2d and, in sonic instances, at 3d per bushel below the rates of Tuesday, and only a limited amount of business was done. Free Flour was also fully 6d per barrel cheaper. As regards these articles in bond, the confidently-expected fall of duty has kept prices steady, and several parcels of both have changed hands. Oats have again been little inquired for, and. tkough in small supply, have barely sustained previous rates. Oatmeal, for which the demand for Ireland has subsided, must also be quoted is ber load cheaper. Beans and Peas each Is 'to 2s per quarter dearer LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, AUGUST 3.
