While the ministerial papers are vaunting the " tran quillity" of Ireland as shown by the withdrawal of troops, Mr. O'Connell is assiduously carrying on his operations for the dismemberment of the empire by the repeal of the Union, and is enlisting all whom he can induce, not to take a shilling, but to pay one. Now one of two conclusions, with reference to this matter, is inevitable. Ministers are treasonably in league with the repealer, or the agitator is again play ing the hypocrite, and duping his followers for the sake of the pence which they bring to his bag. In either case the whole of the parties to the fraud are equally We believe them to be entirely worthy of each other. infamous Taking O'Connell at his word for once, however, lie imself affords a trumpet-tongued commentary on his own plans and proceedings, On Sunday last he held a parochial meeting in Dub lin, for the promotion of his purposes ; and one of his • es the following as his language on the ques- organs g tion of repeal " Well, now, Ireland contains between eight and nine mil lions of inhabitants. There are only three or four indepen dent states in Europe that possess as much. There are twenty independent states that do not possess as many inhabitants as Ireland. Portugal has only one-third, Belgium not one half as many inhabitants as Ireland. It repealed the union with Holland ; and if you ask your respected pastor, the Rev. Mr. Flanagan, who has just returned from that happy coun try, he will inform you of the vast benefits the Belgians have obtained by their self-government. (Loud cheers.)" This gives us a clear insight into " Repeal." It means Revolution. Belgium, at the promptings of the Romish priesthood, shook off the authority of Protes tant Holland, and threw itself virtually into the hands of Popish France. Belgium, in fact, rebelled ; ap pealed to arms; blood flowed in her streets; and a mock independence was declared. O'Connell is fond of the parallel ; he avows it ; he ostentati ous ly h o ld s it forth for imitation ; the Popish priesthood are with him; they are to a man Flanagans ; 'and should the deluded Irish peasantry be weak enough to fly to arms in such a cause, we should soon hear of another French armament in Bantry Bay, for nothing would so much delight M. , Thiers as to involve England in such a gle, as that would leave him, he probably sup , at full liberty to pursue the game of aggrandise ment in the East; And, in such a case, what solid ob jection could the Melbourne government urge to the conduct of France ? They themselves similarly inter fered in Portugal and Spain. They have themselves established both the precedent and the doctrine; and they could not, without exposing themselves to uni versal ridicule and contempt, appeal to sound principles In the teeth of the Emancipation Act, the Reform Act, the Irish Poor Law Act, repeated encroachments upon the Irish branch of the Protestant Church, and the recently-conceded Municipal Act, O'Connell tells his blind and unreasoning followers that they have no chance of obtaining justice from the Parliament of England. " You might as well," he elegantly says,, • , " go ask a diamond for nothing from a Jew, - or a boded potato from a hungry sow;" and he seasons the laugh raised by the oddity of his illustration by adding, „ "Now don't you think Lord Stanley is very like the hungry sow with the boiled potato ?, This question was replied to by another laugh; at which the ribald jester cocks his eye and gesticulates, and it is settled that Lord Stanley is a hungry, sow swallowing a boiled potato belonging to the swinish multitude running af ter Mr. O'Connell. We admit that the man has rea- son to hate Lord Stanley. But the Irish registration law is the actual boiled potato, and the agitator is the greedy beast who wants to swallow the sole benefit of it; for, without it, he cannot maintain his authority in the ministerial stye. From the society of the pigs and potatoes Mr. O'Connell makes a sudden transition to the infernal regions and the spirit presiding there, giving rein to his sooty wit in this fashion : " Hanover—(loud cheers)—supports one of the worst boys out. (Laughter.) Did any of you ever hear of a worse boy ? (No, no, Yes, yes.) I heard of a certain black boy that lives in a very warm place—(loud laughter)—and, to give the devil his due, I think he is worse than His Majesty of Hanover. (Roars of laughter.) Well, that fellow has only one million of subjects, and they have an independent government." In England such stuff as this would be injurious only to the orator; in Ireland, among the "hereditary bondsmen," the case is different. Pat can swallow his potatoes raw ; he makes the enormous mistake of look ing upon the sordid agitator as a patriot, and will at any time do his bidding, if not held back by the holy fathers who profess to keep the keys of both heaven and hell. Further on in his Sunday speech O'Connell forgets hat he has said of the niggard disposition of the 3ritish Parliament, and brags—" Yes ! I have more power than I ever before had."' This is in allusion to the Irish municipal act ; and he exults in the idea that there are in the Dublin corporation forty thousand pounds to handle. Strange, indeed, if such a sum do not afford some pickings to one so expert. " Two thousand pounds--say two thousand pounds." This " diamond" which the expert juggler extracted for nothing" from the " Jew" whom he selected for his master-trick. It will go hard with him if he does not make a still better thing by the year, out of dupes ever ready to play into his hands. Pretending to he liberal, O'Connell holds out an in vitation to Protestants to come into the reformed cor poration, and baits his hook with the forty thousand pounds. We are sorry to say that there are not want ing men, calling themselves Protestants, and pretend ing to be representatives of the people, who are likely to snap at such a bait; but we trust to public opinion for keeping them in order—at all events, for keeping them from making a public exhibition of their readiness to assist in the agitator's object in applying the corpo ration funds to corrupt personal and political purposes. These men ought to know. too, that they would not long be permitted to enjoy ill-gotten pelf; the plan of the deceiver is to tempt them that he may destroy them, and thus shelve them for ever. But, it seems, the Romanist, or Pro-Romanist can didates for seats in Parliament are to be exempted from joining the revolutionary repeal band at present. At a meeting, held in Dublin on Monday last, O'Connell moved anti affirmed the following resolution : "That it is not the intention of this association to require the repeal . pledge at present from any individual seeking a seat in in Ireland ; nor shall we require it as ang is the present administration remain in office." This lets the cat out of the bag- It is, as the Stan dard observes, " a handsome testimony to the cabi net; they do the work of repeal so well that Mr. O'Connell thinks may be permitted to make its way without the aid of plcdvs under their auspices, for on repeal he is resolved on whoever shall be minister. We may congratulate the country upon the possession of a government which openly-avowed traitors are so at-mi me that they postpone their dearest objects Yes, yes ; these men have to their convenienet given O'Connell " more power than ever he had ;" he will tolerate them till the time arrives to throw them overboard with effect; at present they do his work as well as he can wish them. We repeat that ministers end the Irish traitor are in all respects worthy of each 1 15 2 4s Afternoon .. Second Class 0 Aloraing.

The surges of time will lash it in vain. It has withstood all the detraction of contemporary hatred, and it is so identified with the stirring events of revolutionary era, that it can never sink into the comparative oblivion of mere cursory mention by the historian. It could not be forgotten, indeed, even had it not that indelible stamp, of permanency ; for the military tactics of the Duke of Wellington are a system—one that will be followed by men of a certain order of mind as long as war is a science. That the - Duke was not a mere soldier, even as a soldier, the publicatio n o f hi s d espatc h es by Colonel Gurwood convinced the world. By that wonder , ful exposition of the comprehensive, wise, and philanthropic mind of the man, even his enemies were subdued. But it is not of the military character of the Duke that I would speak. Nor am I about to enter into a disquisition on the principles and tendency of his policy while at the head of his countrymen in a civil capacity. Upon that subject there sire differences of opinion—ill-founded, I think, and short sighted, when looked at in reference to the course of events. But it is to his personal character as a politician, and his pe culiarities as a speaker, that I address myself. Look at the course of business in the House of Lords, and you will observe that the Duke of Wellington is the presiding spirit of that assembly. Nothing is done—nothing could be done—without him, for he carries with him the proxies of all the thinking, experienced, far-seeing, influential of his countrymen. Is a new measure introduced for the settle ment of some great national dispute, the first question is, " What will the Duke' say to it ?" Is a compromise to be effected between contending parties in the state, on some question of religion; constitutional reform, or general home policy ? The Duke dictates the terms, and whatever he sug gests is ultimately adopted. Is our foreign policy under dis cussion—is the front we ought to present to the world disfi gured and weakened by party diSsension ?—who is the first to rally all the combatants under one great national standard, by reminding them that Englishmen have ever been united against a foreign enemy, and that the arm that is to strike the strong blow must not be paralyzed by the indecision of the head ? The Duke of Wellington ! But it may be answered that the Duke of Wellington , a pos sesses all this influence by v i r t ue o f hi s l ea d ers hi p o f powerful party. Of course this means that any other leader of the conservatives would possess as much, or it means no thing. It is a monstrous fallacy. Undoubtedly the man who has the confidence of a body so influential must always be great and powerful ; but the Duke of Wellington's claims are almost entirely personal. It is to himself alone that all this silent homage is paid. Even were he to retire from ac tive life to-morrow, still would he be followed into his re tirement by political pupils, eager to imbibe those distilla tions of practical wisdom which his sagacity extracts from his vast stores of experience. The fundamental basis of this power is high military repu tation; though that alone would not have secured it unless accompanied by his firm principles and habits of observation. England differs from France in this respect,—that, while our neighbours are more ready to elevate talent above property than we are, they are less choice as to the degree of the talent which they exalt. But if the English once know that they possess a first-rate man, they place him from that hour se curely on an eminence, whence he may look down, as from the heavens, upon wealth, rank, blood, and every earthly distinction. The Duke of Wellington is a first-rate man, and his countrymen acknowledge it with pride. But his mind is sui generic. His qualities are eminently useful—he could never have condescended to be brilliant. His mind is of that iron mould that defies alike warping, meretricious polish, or demolition. He looks to the practical common sense bearing of every subject brought under his notice. His first aim is the public good; his next how to attain that good with the least departure from established principles of policy. He is an utilitarian, without the absurdities of the Benthamites. This practical turn of mind, joined as it is to a far-seeing and prophetic spirit has contributed to confirm in the minds of his countrymen the admiration and influence which his military genius and success first created. They re pose the utmost confidence in his sagacity. He is a party in himself. Whatever is essential to the national reputation, the welfare of the whole people, and above all, to the stability of pro perty, is sure to be originated, or, at allevents, warmly supported by him. For this reason a revolution never could have oc curred under the government of the Duke. He has too in tense a horror of the evils of civil contention ever to have al lowed matters to come to that pass. This, it will be admitted, is a quality rarely to be found in a soldier, too, of such an inflexible cast as the Duke. Not less intense is his regard for national faith and honor. He would maintain the honor of the state at any expense, even of his own personal preju dices on home politics ; for the Duke, like all strong-minded men, has his prejudices. He has vanquished, and obtained the mastery of, the spirit of change, by showing that he can curb it, while he does not affect to play the tyrant over it. He knows when to be firm and when to yield. Many acts of the Duke of Wellington, in the course of his political career, that have called forth unlimited censure, have been based upon calculations which only so well-tutored and so well-stored a mind could have made. It is an intellectual treat of the highest order to see the Duke of Wellington's demeanour in the House of Lords. It is essentially different from that of every other man there. He is almost the only unfettered man in the house. Others are fettered by obstacles which they create for themselves, in various ways, by the too eager pursuit of personal or party objects. But the Duke of Wellington's high reputation and standing place him above all such considerations. He can afford to speak the truth, and he does speak it on all occa sions fearlessly. While other speakers, on either side of the House, have been wasting their powers in fruitless eloquence (mere personal display,) or in perverting the truth for the purpose either of unfair attack or unfair defence, the Duke of Wellington has appeared to be paying not the slightest at tention to the proceedings. He , has sat absorbed in thought, or at least in seeming indifference. You would almost sup pose that, overcome by fatigue or indisposition, he was in re pose, so perfectly motionless and s il en t i s h e , rec li n i ng w i th folded arms, his legs stretched out to their full length, and his bat over his brow. The question has been discussed, argued, quarrelled upon for hours. 'No result seems to have been come to, and you are as ignorant of the object and scope of the measure as when the debate began ; nor have you any clear idea of what will become of the bill. But at length the Duke of Wellington rises, advances abruptly to the table, wraps the tails of his coat like a dressing-gown over his legs, and plunges at once in medias re*. There is an undivided attention while he speaks—indeed it is sometimes abso lutely necessary, for when indisposed, he is often with difficulty heard even by those near to him, But in a moment you see that his mind is still as vigorous as ever. His keen intelligence pierces at once to the very core of the subject. No fallacy can blind or deceive the Duke of Wel lington. He knows why the measure was introduced, what it is, what it will do, and what will become of it. He grap ples with it in the spirit of a statesman. He is a guardian of the interests of the nation ; he is the parliamentary trustee of the people ; he is bound to look to their interests as a whole, for by the people he understands not those who bawl loudest of their rights, but those who trust the maintenance of their privileges and their interests to parliament, in silent faith. He never forgets the mitts populi. The clap-trap maxims of liberalism, on the other hand, meet from him with just as much credence and attention as they deserve. He measures the length, breadth, and thickness of the bill before him—calculates with his unerring precision and practical wisdom, the effect which it will have either on the happiness of the people, or on the social or political constitution of the country. According to its value for good or for evil, does the Duke of Wellington support or oppose it ; and from that hour its fate is usually decided. Why ? Because the un bending, unflinching honesty of the man, and his political sagacity, have created him a character unprecedented in the annals of his country. His style of speaking is what might be expected from his character—plain, simple, straightfor ward. His sentences are short and pithy—his language clear and lucid ; his delivery abrupt. When he makes a point, it falls on the mind with the force of a sledge ham mer. His voice reminds one of that of an officer giving the word of command : he lays emphasis, short and some what barah, on the leading word or words of the sentence, and speaks the rest in an under tone. The arts and tricks of the orator he wholly disdains. They are foreign to the genius of his mind. They would be out of place in his speeches, which depend for their interest and their value upon their simplicity, their truthfulness, and their common sense. For the same reason, he never attempts to impose on the house a fictitious enthusiasm or a pretended excite ment. If the Duke of Wellington gets excited—and he will sometimes get into a terrible passion at any infringement of constitutional integrity or breach of discipline—there is no mistaking it for a mere prepared climax to a speech ; he is completely possessed by the demon. The only action he ever uses is on such occasions, and then it is almost convulsive. His arms and legs seem no longer to he under control—they . . quiver, and shake, and tremble . ; and the clenched fist viol lently and frequently struck upon the table, denotes that some very potent feeling of indignation is, for the time, mas tering the usual calmness of this self-possessed man. Yet though at times I have seen him thus carried away by his feelings, I have not known- his ultimate judgment of a mea sure impaired by it. He can cauterise or cut out the can kered part, and yet preserve all that was not offensive to his sense of right and wrong. Those who have read the speeches of the Duke will have remarked the intensely British feeling that pervades them. He is like the old Romans in his ad- miration and love for his country and her institutions. The same feeling breathes in his speeches. The same magnani mous. brevity that marked the public declarations of that haughty people dignifies the addresses of the Duke of Wel lington. His denunciations are like the alarum of a war trumpet. There is yet another phase of the character of this illus- trious man that has to be glanced at. By a singular and glorious pre-eminence in wisdom he is always selected as the referee in quarrels or dilemmas. Delicacy forbids more than alluding to an instance where the feelings of the highest per sonage in the realm and a near connection were involved. Less scruple attaches to a reference to the unhappy case of Lady Flora Hastings. The duke was the active arbiter in that melancholy affair. I could mention others, but that they are shielded by the privileges of private life. He is not less often referred to in political matters. He seems to be recognised as moderator-general to the nation--an invaluable evidence of the influence which integrity and high character still hold in this changing country. The Duke of Wellington's personal appearance and his dress are in strict accordance with his general character. Both are quite plain and simple. Although 71 years of age, the duke is still hale. His countenance bears but few marks of age, except its venerable aspect. Ile always has an air of abstraction. Not above the middle height, his frame is compact and well built, one of those iron constitutions which defy time and the elements. His dress consists of a plain blue frock coat and snow-white trousers; and in the winter he frequently comes down to the house in a long military cloak, which he wraps round him in the evening. On some occasions, when going to dine with the Queen, or to celebrate an anniversary, he comes in full dress, decorated with orders. His general demeanour accords with the rest of his appear ance. It is perfectly unassuming, yet there is a latent self- LORGNETTE. possession which command your respect. BIRMINGHAM AND GLOUCESTER RAILWAY. — The directors in a late report state, that the Gloucester Railway wiil be opened to within eight miles of Birmingham on the 15th of September; but, in a subsequent speech, the chair man said they did not bind themselves to a particular day. WEEKLY MORTALITY IN LONDON. — The table of morta lity for the metropolis, registered according to the late act of parliament for the week ending August 15, gives a total of deaths of 888, being 125 under the weekly average. The distribution, according to the classification of diseases, gives epidemic, endemic, and contagious, 185 ; of the brain, nerves, and sense s , 160 ; of the organs of respiration, 216; of the heart and blood-vessels, 19 ; of the stomach, liver, and other organs of dige s ti on , 115 • of the kidneys, &c., 4 ; diseases of uncertain seat, 108; old age or natural decay, 46; by vio lence, privation, or intemperance, 29; cause not specified, 1 ; of the whole number 144 were GO years old and upwards. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. —This extraordinary machine is now being worked on the Great Western Railroad, between Drayton and Paddington ; and, though no distinct idea of the apparatus can be imparted without plans and draughts of the dial, pipes, rods, &c., of which it is composed, yet the principle will excite unqualified admiration, when our readers learn that intelligence is conveyed at the rate of 200,000 miles per second, or 8,000 times quicker than light travels during the same period, by means of electrical currents passing through coils of copper wire, placed immediately behind some fine magnetic needles, made to operate upon a circular series of twenty letters, which indicate such terms, either separately or collectively, as they have been arranged to repre sent. This telegraph will act both day and night, in all states of the weather, and with a rapidity so superior to the common pro. cess, that one minute only is required for the communication of thirty signals. The fashion of visiting the Brunnens of Germany during the recess has latterly become so general, that the subject may fairly be regarded amongst our regular newspaper topics. A pleasanter trip—at so small an outlay of time, fatigue, and money—is scarcely to be traced on the map of Europe ; and if the great end of travelling—which we take to be health, mental and physical—be attained by variety of costume and language, by complete change of atmosphere, by novel and beautiful scenery, and by all those excitements which spring out of strange and delightful associations, we know not where the English tourist can lay up such a stock of vigour and en joyment for after days as in a rapid journey through' Nassau and the adjacent Rhenish provinces. This route presents to him the obvious advantage of being always near home, if circumstances should require his sudden return, while it em braces as many points of interest and freshness as it he were ten thousand miles from the shores of his native country. The facilities of making the journey are now so available, that you may transport yourself to the banks of the Rhine in less time than it would occupy to go to Edinburgh ; and it is superfluous to observe that the transition is in every re spect more attractive to all classes of travellers, idlers, inva lids, or intellectual inquirers. First from London to Ant werp by steam—then by railroad to Liege—then •to Air-la- Chapelle—and so to Cologne and the storied banks of the blue Rhine. By and by we shall have a railroad the whole way to the Rhine, and the journey may then be accomplished in a still shorter period. But there Is no excuse whatever for lingering on the road more than two or three days, even as it is. The grand object of the tourist is to reach the Brunnens, and as so many of our countrymen are annually in the habit of visiting those pleasant and picturesque springs, a few pass ing hints or suggestions may not be altogether useless at this part of the season. In the first place, all travellers ought to be forewarned against placing too much confidence in the medical books that undertake to describe the virtues of the various baths and springs. The opinions of English physicians, even when they are thoroughly candid, are frequently found to differ widely from the opinions of physicians who live upon the spot, and who may be presumed to be best acquainted with the effects of the waters. But this is not all. Such books are sometimes unworthy of trust on other grounds. The Brunnens are well known to yield so considerable a revenue to the ducal and princely houses in whose hereditary domi nions they are found, as to be regarded with no little anxiety by their royal proprietors. Sir Francis Head was so im pressed with importance in a fiscal point of view, that he called the Duke of Nassau a lodging-house-keeper on a large scale. No pains consequently are spared to bring them into fashion, and to draw crowds of invalids from all parts of Europe to test the efficacy of their remedial application. The result is an open rivalry between those small states, or sove reignties, where the Brunnens are found :—a rivalry as dis tinctly marked by the usual features of jealousy and puffing as we daily observe amongst the venders of rival nostrums. Of course all kinds of influence are employed to bring the different baths into repute, and the writers of books are very naturally, and sometimes unavoidably, exposed to be acted upon in divers ways, direct and indirect. in the expectation of a favourable report in their pages. These circumstances, which we have only lightly touched upon, will explain many of the contradictions to be found in such works, and even in the various editions of the same works. Travellers will, therefore, easily perceive, without being troubled with more minute details, the necessity of being very careful before they implicitly adopt the advice of any of these books. The fact seems to be that the waters of Germany affect different constitutions differently, and that they are effica cious in certain diseases only in reference to certain habits and states of body, all of which must be proved upon the spot, and cannot be decided upon general principles. The Wies baden Spring, for instance, has given occasion to a marvel lous diversity of opinions, and many people, who have gone over there to try upon the suggestions of medical men, have been grievously disappointed. The only fact that seems as certained clearly and established about it is, that it is good for gout and rheumatism. Every body seems to agree about that. One gentleman has found it so effectual in gout that he has actually taken up his residence in the town perma nently. On the other hand, the assertion ventured so posi tively by Head that these waters are injurious in cases of fever and consumption, does not appear to be borne out by experience—at least so far as fever is concerned—although neither the waters, nor the still warmer atmosphere, would seem to be very salutary for consumptive patients. We know an instance of a gentleman who tried the Wiesbaden Spring after having first recovered from a fever, and found no ill effects whatever. For the first few days he felt his head grow giddy and confused, and was at last obliged to get himself cupped; but he persevered, nevertheless, and after a prolonged .experiment, declared that the waters were of no avail either for good or evil. It has been clearly established that they have the effect, upon some persons at least, of pro ducing a rush of blood to the head, accompanied by lethargic syniptoms. In one case this result threatened such serious consequences, that the patient was obliged to abandon the experiment at the end of four days. We allude to these facts simply to show that no general statements, or even particular details can be safely relied upon, except in so far as the ana lyses of the waters indicate obvious conclusions. There are nearly a dozen works exclusively dedicated to w th e e re su e b y j e in c, e t n s ti o o m n e e i s n pe G e e ie r l m ly an ti , le ot p h u e b rs lie i a n tie E e n s g e li f sh ii m O e f r t ea h a e n se , Stett, Granville, Richter, Peez, &c. Remarkable incon sistencies and contradictions pervade them ; and the best piece of advice that can be derived from the best of them is to consult a physician on the spot. In a little work of this nature by Mr. Edwin Lee, which made a noise in Nassau last year, the invalid was strongly advised to take the opinion of a resident physician ; and in confirmation of his own theory, and very appropriately to avail himself of its fruits, there was Mr. Edwin Lee, at Les Quartiers Saisons, ready to ten der his services to his nervous countrymen. All this was fair enough, but the German physicians objected to the in terloper, and some strong allusions were made to a statute of Nassau which prohibited foreigners from acting in a medical capacity in that duchy. Two parties were rapidly formed, and several meetings were held at Wiesbaden, followed by angry discussions. How the matter ended we know not ; but we believe Mr. Lee carried his point. One of the hu mourous features of this affair was the publicity that was given to Mr. Lee's treatise on the waters. Wherever you went throughout Nassau, you saw the title of the book pla carded at the shop windows, on the walls, and in the hotels and bazaars. The frequent occurrence of the name of Edwin produced an involuntary expectation to find it at last asso ciated, as it ought to be in such poetical regions, with the name of Emma :—but you drank the wa t ers, and fell asleep in utter oblivion of all such imaginative notions. We might fill a budget with hints concerning the Brun nens, but enough for the day is a column thereof. Should the stream of emigration, however, continue to flow in that direction, we will resume the subject, and i n d uct t h e reader into some of the mysteries of Ems, Schlangenbad, and w s. atba A c i li i. —asthose inexhaustible retreat s o f indo lLenancegean Sh ndhcip Lord Viscount Falkland, Lieutenant Governor of the pro vince of Nova Scotia, goes passenger in the Britannia steamer from this port, on the 4th September. COLNE.—Comparative quiet has been restored in this dis turbed district, and many of the extra police have conse quently been withdrawn. It is to be hoped that the late me lancholy occurrence will have a beneficial effect, and that we shall hear of no renewal of those lawless proceedings which have caused so great an excitement in the country. Making allowances for the alterations which have taken place in dress since the time in which the worthy knight Sir Hudibras flourished, the description which Butler gives of his hero may appropriately be applied to the intelligent re presentative of the intelligence of the intelligent town of Birmingham. With the exception of the redoubtable Sir Hudibras, and perhaps of Don Quixote also, there never existed such a grotesque looking animal as Mr. Muntz. Have our readers ever seen him ? If so, they will never forget him. Muntz is a creature of such hideous mien, That to be remember'd needs but to be seen To those perhaps we have not had the good fortune, o. rather misfortune, to gaze upon the hon. member for Bin mingham, it may be necessary to say that he is a very tall and marvellously strong man, with the whole of his face literally covered with hair. His whiskers extend about six inches on either side of his face, his beard almost reaches to the bottom of his waistcoat, and his mustaches are of most formidable character. We believe that Mr. Muntz has a nose and eyes, and a mouth, but we have never been able to discover them, on account of the mass of black, filthy looking hair which covers the places where thoge several portions of the " human face divine " are wont to be situated. With respect to dress, he sometimes wears a coat of a cut so marvellously strange and out-of-the-way lab, that we cannot presume to attempt a description of it. The other day we happened to be passing down White hall, on our way to the house, and saw Mr. Muntz figuring away in one of those outrageous garments called " a blouse," or something of the kind, with which linen drapers' shopmen or other monkeys of their class are in the habit of doing what they call " the genteel thing, and making the gals stare." Guess our astonishment when we saw our hero walk, a few minutes afterwards, coolly into the House of Commons, wearing the identical blouse which had excited the astonishment of every person in the street ! A shout of laughter greeted the worthy M.P., but the mirth was soon changed into astonishment that any man should presume to appear in the presence of a body of English gentlemen in such an attire. This, however, is somewhat of a digression, and we therefore proceed to say that the garments which cover Mr. Muntz's nether limbs are, if possible, of a more extra ordinary description than the dress of the upper part of his person. The mass of cloth that he carries about his legs is perfectly astonishing ' • it would preve n t any ot h er man f rom walking a dozen yards, its width alone being calculated at somewhere about nine or ten yards : his hat is of the cut denominated, we believe, by men about town, " spicy," and his stick is as thick as the monument, and about half as heavy. These details must, we are perfectly aware, be considered very tiresome, but how can we help giving them ? Mr. Muntz chooses to seek notoriety by the singularity of his dress and the extravagance of his appearance; and we are therefore bound, in giving a sketch of him, to dwell at some length upon both of these peculiarities, just as we are bound, in writing of the Marquis of Normanby, to notice his sweetly scented curls, or, in speaking of Lord Palmerston, to advert to his well roughed cheeks, and in noticing of Mr. Joseph Hume to dwell upon his impenetrable brass. After the description given of Mr. Muntz, it is perhaps almost unnecessary to add that he is an ultra-radical, for our readers will feel assured that no conservative could disfigure himself as he does. Once upon a time the man was a chartist, but now he is a ministerial tool, and votes black to be white and white to be 'black, with as much readiness as one of O'Connell's tail, and with as much impudence as the gabbling goose of Kilkenny. To do Muntz justice we must state that on the debate on the corn laws, he made a short but very sensible speech, in which he completely demolished many of the crotshets of his ministerial friends, and showed as clearly as any thing could be shown, that the repeal of the corn laws would no more benefit the working classes of this country than it would tend to the advantage of the man in the moon. This was all very well, and it would have been better still had Muntz voted as he spoke, but oh! monstrous absurdity, his vote was in direct opposition to his speech ; he spoke for the corn laws, but voted against them! " Oh! that somebody were here to write me down an ass ! But re member, my masters, though it be not written down, that I am an ass !" On the very best authority we are enabled to state that Muntz will not be exhibited at the ensuing Bartlemy fair as " the wild houran hautang, nor the man vot vas caught run ning vild in the voods, and kivered vith hair." The terms he required for exhibiting himself were considered too high, besides it is reported that Mr. Joseph Hume intends in the next session to propose that the Brummagem M.P. shall be required to dance on hot iron, for the amusement of the public, who are to be admitted at a shilling a head, the pro ceeds to be devoted to the liquidation of the national debt. This project, if carried into effect, will afford a fine field for the developement of Muntz's abilities. Heaven be thanked, no Mr. Muntz ever sat in the House of Commons until after it was " reformed." STATE OF RELIGION IN IRELAND.—A converted Roman Catholic priest, in a letter addressed to a clergyman at Dur ham, says :—" A movement in religion is at present in pro gress. The times are big with coming events. The Roman Catholic aristocracy are, almost to a man, disgusted with the conduct of their priests, and set little or no value on their ministry. This disgust is extending itself among all classes, and will, in all probability, with the spread of knowledge and reflection, at no distant period pervade the whole body. Many priests of late in various parts of the kingdom, urged by the force of truth, have openly protested against the errors and abuses of Popery, and declared in favour of the Gospel. Two priests of the name of Crotty (uncle and nephew) have, in conjunction, established an independent Catholic congre gation in the town of Birr, in the King's County. In all the cities Roman Catholics flock in crowds to hear Protestant sermons—quite a novel thing ; and both in town and country many people, who never before troubled themselves on th e subject, are beginnin g t o ma k e v ital inqu iries concerning re ligion. If due advantage be taken of this critical state of things, the happiest results may be expected." THE THAMES TUNNEL.—The process of what is ter me d " driving the piles" in thi s un dertaking . proceeding ra- pidly. The total number of feet from the entrance at Wap ping to that on the Itotherhithe shore will be exactly 1,300, when the tunnel is completed. The workmen, having reached the Middlesex side of the river, are now engaged in carrying the extent of the tunnel as far as the Wharf Wall at Wapping, to reach which only 35 feet more are required, and then the whole distance will be accomplished. The average number of feet which the men are able to finish in a week is three ; therefore, there is every probability of the tunnel be ing completed in between three and four months from this period. The whole of the premises which it was requisite to remove for the purpose of. forming the entrance at Wapping have been pulled down; and the expenses attached to pur chasing the property, which was very valuable, and remune rating the occupiers of the houses, will form no small items in the company's accounts : as it is, however, the tunnel will be completed at a cost of less than half a million of money. SAD REVERSE OF FORTUNE.—In the small town of Max welltown, on the bank of the Nith, Kirkcudbrightshire, may be seen a poor feeble old woman destitute and distressed, who picks up a scanty subsistence by washing clothes. This was one of Burns's loveliest heroines, the daughter of a highly re spectable gentleman in Nithsdale. Of her the poet sang— " 0 lovely Polly Stewart! 0 charming Polly Stewart! There's not a flower that blooms in May, That's half so fair as thou art. The flower it blaws, it fades and fa's, And art can ne'er renew it ; But worth and truth eternal youth Will give to Polly Stewart. Poor Polly Stewart fo rgo t h er " wor th an d truth," and has sunk from the highest circles of fashion to her present ab ject state. Such reverses feelingly remind us of the vicissi-' tudes of life.---Inverness Courier. THE QUALITIES AND NATURE OF FOOD (From the Hand Book of Health.) I.‘ For the due preservation and enjoyment of health, much judgment and discrimination are necessary in the choice of the different kinds of food, as to their nutrivenezzs and digestibility. 2. It may be taken as a general rule, that the flesh of the full grown animal is much more digestible and nutritive than that of its young ; and for this reason, that the flesh of young animals is of a much more viscid and mucilaginous nature than that of the full-grown animal. 3. Of all meat, tender wedder or wether mutton (which is the flesh of the castrated animal) is by far the most nutriti ous and digestible. Fork and bacon are difficult of diges tion. 4. Fish is less nutritive, but less stimulant than the flesh of animals, and on that account, if fresh, and not allowed to have died a lingering death, is best adapted to weak and de licate habits. Turbot, cod, sole, whiting, haddock, and flounder, are the most nutritive and the easiest of tligestion ; the salmon and the mackerel, the most indigestible. The whiting and haddock best adapted for weak stomachs. The flakeness of fish, and its opaque appearance, with a layer of white curdy matter, resembling coagulated albumen, inter posed between its flakes, are indicia, or indications of its goodness. 5. Shell-fish are nutritive. Oysters should be eaten in a raw state with a slight addition of vinegar and pepper as a stimulant, and then they are balsamic food, if properly mas ticated before they are swallowed ; but when stewed they are highly indigestible. Lobsters and crabs, as found in the London market, are highly indigestible, as they are generally underboiled, with a view to their better and longer keeping. Muscles are of a vicid nature, and on that account often seriously disorder the bowels ; but the danger does not lie, as is erroneously supposed, in tliat dark spot, which by good housewifes, is so carefully extracted, as the seat of poison ; that dreaded spot being merely the heart, and perfectly innoxious. It may not be unseasonable, also, to observe here, that the injurious effects which sometimes attend the eating of oysters, do not arise from, the green colour which they assume, but from their indigestibility (a quality arising from their cold nature, and not being properly masticated); for that colour is not occasioned, as is erroneously supposed, by their having lain in coppery beds, but is produced by placing them in situations where great deposits are made from the sea, of the vegetable germs of the marine confervte and fuel. 6. Game and poultry of all kinds are wholesome, and their flesh more digestible than that of animals : but they contain very little nutriment in proportion to their bulk. The lean part of venison is the most digestible artieb of diet, a quality which may also he predicated of the wild rabbit. The flesh of the leveret, when roasted, is nutritive, and easily digested ; that of the tame rabbit and the fowl is of a similar quality. 7. Raw and boiled fresh eggs are_ salutary, nutritive, and gently laxative ; but when boiled hard they are indigestible, and produce costiveness. 8.- - -The best corrector of animal food is stale bread ; it is of incalculable use in the process of digestion. 9—Of vegetables, the most nutritious is the potato; when but little bread is made use of, it should be used to modify the effects of the consumption of animal food. All varieties of the cabbage and spinach kind are wholesome and aperient; as also young peas and scarlet beans. Carrots and radishes are difficult of digestion. The parsnip anti turnip are nutri tive and laxative. The onion, leek, horse radish, mustard and cress. and water-cress, are nutritive and highly friendly to digestion. 10—Of fruits, the strawberry, rasberry, currant, and mul berry, are the most conducive to health ; a property which may be predicated of all the small-seeded sorts of fruit. Next to these, the peach apple, and pear are to be preferred, though the last-mentioned is the most indigestible, on account of the quantity of its woody tibre. Stone-fruits are liable to irritate the intestines, especially if eaten in an unripe state. The plum and cherry are of an indigestible nature. Grapes and raisins are nourishing and wholesome. The orange is very friendly to health. Figs are wholesome and laxative, both crude and in a preserved state. Walnuts, when eaten fresh and in moderation, are palatable and nutritious ; but nuts. filberts, and chesnuts, on account of their viscid and gluti nous quality, turning rancid and acrid on the stomach, and thereby producing the most distressing heartburn and bowel complaints, should be used cautiously, if not wholly abstained from. When eaten, they should be accompanied with salt, and chesnuts should be roasted. 11. Condiments and seasonings of all kinds (especially salt), while used in moderation, assist by digestion, and cor rect many injurious and noxious properties of the food ingested into the stomach ; they afford a stimulus to the stomach, by exciting a more energetic performance of its functions, and by exerting a corrective influence over the various kinds of aliment during the process of digestion. To the aged they are particularly friendly, as they stimulate the whole of the alimentary canal. 12. Though water is unquestionably the natural beverage of man, and is the best solvent of food, never impairing or destroying the sensibility of the palate as vinous and spiri tuous liquors do, yet the temperate use of good home-brewed malt liquors, and sound unadulterated wines, is friendly to health. Spirituous liquors, when taken on proper occa sions, in moderate quantities, and properly incorporated or combined with water, strengthen the stomach and assist digestion. THE WATERS OF GERMANY POLITICAL CHARACTERS (From the Oxford Herald.) MR. MUNTZ. Listen, sirs, it followeth thus : " The gallant Bruin march'd next him, With visage forniidably grim, And rugged as a Saracen, Or Turk of Mahomet's own kin, Clad in a mantle de la gtierre Of lough impenetrable fur ; And in his nose, like Indian king, He wore for ornament a ring ; About his neck a three-fold gurget, As rough as trebled leathern target ; Armed, as heralds cant, and langued, Or, as the vulgar say, sharp-fanged. He was by birth, some authors write, A Russian, some a Muscovite, And 'mong the Cossacks had been bred : Scrimansky was his cousin german, With whoth he served, and fed on vermin; And when these fail'd, he'd suck his claws, And quarter himself upon his paws. " His tawney beard was th' equal grace Both of his wisdom and his face ; In cut and dye so like a tile, A sudden view it would beguile; The upper part whereof was whey, The nether orange mix'd with grey. His thread of life the fatal sisters Did twist together with his whiskers, And twine so close that time should never, In life or death, their fortunes sever, But with his rusty sickle mow Both down together at a blow. " His back, or rather burthen, show'd As if it stoop'd with its own load, For as iEneas bore his sire • Upon his shoulders through the fire, Our knight did bear no less a pack Of his own buttocks on his back. To poise this equally he bore A paunch of the same bulk before, Which still lie had a special care To keep well cramm'd with thrifty fare. " His doublet was of sturdy buff, And though not sword, yet cudgel proof, Whereby 'twas fitter for his use, Who fear'd no blows but such as bruise. " His breeches were of rugged woollen, And had been at the siege of Bullen, To old King Harry so well known, Some writers held they were his own. " His puissant sword unto - his side, Near his undaunted heart was ty'd, With basket hilt, that would hold broth, And serve for fight find dinner both. It was a serviceable dudgeon, Either for lighting, or for drudging; When it had stabb'd or broke a head, It would scrape trenchers or chip bread, Toast cheese or bacon, though it were To bait a mouse trap, 'twould not care." Power—the laughter-making, fun-creating Power—in the course of his very clever personation of Tim Moore, the tra velling tailor, and the - unauthorised representative of Mr. Thomas Moore, the spinner of rhymes, in the well-written farce of the " Irish Lion," says, " Misther Wadd, Misther Wadd, I'm a writin' me thravels, Misther Wadd, an' me observations, an' I shall divide me book into chapthers, Misther Wadd, and clap a piece ov poethry ov me own coin posin' on the top ov 'em, to make the prose slip down swate." My readers cannot fail to have observed that. I have, in humble imitation of Sir Walter Scott, and of the most re spectable authority just quoted, " clapped a piece ov poe thry," though not of " me own composin'," at the head of nearly every one of my most imperfect sketches of " Poli tical Characters" ; and I have done so, I frankly confess, " to make the prose slip down swate."—(N.B. The reason why I don't quote my own poetry is, that a friend of mine, the editor of the " Literary Tomahawk," once told me that it was not more than five hundred times better than Sir Lyt ton Bulwer's.)—The " poethry" this week is of rather. un usual length, but that is on account of the individual to whom it refers. When children have to take only a tea spoonful of physic, a lump of sugar will be sufficient to coax it down ; but when the bitter draught fills a teacup ; a trifle less than a quarter of a pound of the sugary mixture will be absolutely required. And as with children taking physic, so with the readers of the sketches of " Political Characters." Not more than two or three lines of " poethry" are needed to make a sketch, however imperfect it may be, of such an excellent and distinguished man as the Earl of Aberdeen meet with attention ; but it is absolutely necessary that a yard and a half of rhyme, good measure too, be prefixed to a sketch of a Brummagem M.P., especially such an one as he whose name appears at the head of this column, if one would have it read at all. And now, my dear Mr. Reader, after this explanation, which I perceive, by the amiable ex pression of your phi; is perfectly satisfactory, we will pro eeed to business.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, AUG LIVERPOOL CORN MARIcET, AUGUST 29 Of Wheat there have arrived 5,100 qUarteis from abroad, since this day week ; but of other articles of the Grain trade, either of home or foreign produce, the imports have been very light. Duty has been paid upon 4,140 quarters cf Wheat, 1,164 quarters of Oats, 2,51 g quarters of Beans, 1,827 quarters of Peas, and 5,197 barrels of Flour. The only change in the rates of duty is a reduction of Rye to 14$ per quarter. We have had some rain during the week, but with intervals of fine weather, so that harvest is progressing satisfactorily, and the trade generally, has ruled dull. The millers and dealers, anticipating an early release of the stocks in bond, have restricted their purchases of free Wheat and Flour as much as possible, and lower prices have been taken for both articles, 2d to 3d per bushel for the former and is per barrel for the latter below the currency of this day sen'night. Oats and Oatmeal havd been little inquired for, and must be quoted fully Is per bushel and Is per load cheaper. Barley, Beans, and Peas without alteration as to value. The possibility of further decline in the duty has kept Prices of bonded Wheat and Flour steady, and several parcels of each article have changed hands : 32s per barrel paid for best brands of United States Flour.
