" honoured in t spite of all I could say, Joe would keep trying effects, scale, thereby, as he observed, to keep his hand in; and to my remonstrance, his only answer was, " Tut, man, what ratter? we should always be merry when we have no thing else to do. It is bad weather, indeed, if we never get a glimpse of sunshine ; no, no, my boy, next to avoiding cares it should be every man's business to forget them. So here goes." Saying this, he bowed very profundly to an elderly lady and two young ones, that were coming the oppo site way; the elderly lady. returned the c ompliment with a slight curtsey, the two young ones with one half way down to the ground. " There,'" said Joe, " those honest people are just now wondering where they could possibly have seen me before, and how stupid not to have known rne, nor yet to have remembered my face. Ali, never mind, the next time they meet me they will know me. Now that's what I call giving an agreable turn to you young creature's thoughts ; no trifling epoch in the life of a young lady is a bow of adora tion (they of course will read it that way) from a handsome young stranger ; at any rate, it is giving happiness at cheap price. Afarthing given to a hungry wretch, with a word of comfort anti condolence added to it, is more esteemed than the gingling penny thrown ostentatiously by pride-registering donation." _ . _ ----- How many more tricks he would have played off, and then moralised upon their absurdities, I don't know, but I posi tively refused to go any further with him if he persisted in his " etchings by the way." We had not gone far, however, when we met a very interesting little group of six young cherubs, and a nurse girl. The darlings " run" from about one to eight years of age, and all of them dressed in a sort of kilt, or short plaid petticoat. Though of different sexes there was very little in their dress to denote it, being all bare from the shoe, up to about a quarter of an inch above the knee ; bare arms, bare necks, with flat white collars laid half way over their shouliers ; Scotch bonnets, with ostrich feathers; their hair all curled down behind as low as it could be got, was all of one colour, as well as their sashes, which were all tied at the back in large bows. There was just a perceptible step in their heights, from the youngest to the eldest ; they had all red cheeks, all biue eyes, all pretty plump, the eld est being the thinnest, the younger the fattest ; they were all very chubby, and no doubt, somebody thought them all very pretty. . _ . - The nurse held the youngest one by the hand, the youngest held the next, and so on for the first three ; the others fol lowed hand in band behind, the nurse giving them short admonitions, and long cuffs as they walked along. "Oh fie, Master Fretheric, where is your handkerchief?" — cuffing little Billy—" it id'ut me, its Freddy."—" Oh, I dare say your quite as bad—Miss Julia Ellen La foon, I wish mamma seed you just now. Miss Emily, what are you pulling at Augustus Leopold for 111 give it you ? Miss Lafoon, I an: surprised at you ; you ought to know better." " Oh, durse ! somsing pricking me." " Augustus, did you prick Julia ?" " No, ness.' (Cuffs Augustus and Julia too.) " Oh, oh ! Leppy trod on mu trip_ " 1111117 • I did not_ " Oh_ veg i von did." . _ "1 didn't." " Oh, oh ! you did.'' " Realla, children, you're nothing but trouble; I never did see such —never; I never did, and yet mamma wanted me to bring baby! lam sure I have anuff to do with six."_ __ _ " Not but they are very pretty," said Joe, coming up un perceived by the nurse ; " pretty little dears, I am sure you must love them as much as if they were your own; I should," said Joe, taking one of them up and kissing it.— "Ye yes, sir—only they're so much trouble, to get 'em ready before they comes out, and a good deal of trouble when they goes in," said nurse, hardly knowing what to Ah, but then their delicious little prattle when they a know, nurse."—" Yes, but they cries a good i."—" Ah, hut see how they must naturally Oh, aye they does, but they scratches and hen they're vext."---" What beautiful Intinued Joe.—" Oh, yes, their hair es dresses that herself."—" Such a are out deal sometimes love yon bites uncommon nice number too," pursued Joe, "just a right quantity, six "—" Yes, sir, when the three littlest ones arr gone to bed, and the three big,iest are a Jeep in the parlour ; but then the baby is almost sure to cry." Joe, however, by this time had kissed them all round, and declared he would not mind if he had sixteen like them. " Bless me !" quietly ejaculated the girl, " I think he doesn't know."—" Now my little heroes," said Joe to the three least, " have a catch for a bull's eye !" for Joe always carried sweets in his pocket, as he was in truth fond of ; he consequently threw one amongst them, when all three ducked do;n at once, showing about - an inch and a half more of their little naked chubby legs. Master Wil liam Henry Charles, however, the youngest but one, lost his dance, and fell with his face in the mire, the bull's eye sticking to his forehead. "There'll be a yell just now," said nurse—and there was, for when Master W. H. C. was got up, his mouth was distented from ear to ear, and after a full half minute had elapsed, the girl's prophecy was verified. She pacified him, however, with thrusting the sweet, dirt and all, into his month. " Catch again !" Said the mischievous Joe; down they all went again, the three eldest going, the nurse striving, but all in vain, to prevent them. " Oh, my word, Miss Emily, von will catch it; mania will give it you! and you. Ntss Susan, you ought to know better." SKETCHES OF THE JOLLY CLUB (Written for the Liverpool Standard.) JOE RATTLER'S PLANS FOR PRODUCING EFFECTS. EFFECT THE THIRD. lay this time we had got to Egremont, where we took tea; but I certainly should not have gone in had I not had Joe's previous assurance that he would not attempt any more " effects." This promise he had but little difficulty in keep ing, as there were none in the room but ourselves, conse quently, no field for Joe's exertion. After we had taken L st Egremont we strolled leisurely on, by a circuitous id: to Seacowbe, Joe all the while playing a thousand would have been infinitely _uore a,►tastic trick s," to he breach tt lan in the observance " Oh, the pretty little dears !" said Joe ; " pray let them there is nothing too good for them ;" amuse themselves and so he pitched some more sweets. " Ay, but look what beads, and faces; and collars, and hands, they'll make them selves ! They will catch it, and so will I. " Joe, without the least sympathy for what ti.ey would catch, threw down some more sweets ; down went they again, their hats pre ceding their heads a few inches. There was a terrible scuffle urse doing all she could to get them up, in igth succeeded, hut not before a most terrible rphose hail taken place ; for their faces, hands, ring and kilts were all shockingly besmeared with toffee and " Oh, the missis will pay you ; you will get it bon- dell she at le nily ;—but she never beats tile - eilildreil but she talks of a month's warning, as she says it's all my fault. When Mas ter William Henry broke a pane of glass, she said she would stop it out of my wages, because, she said, I should not have allowed him to go into the parlour, and then he could not have c Lne it." At length away they all scampered, nurse and cherubs. " There !" said Joe ; " when those little darlings get home, I think they will produce an e f fect, or else I hive made a strange miscalculation. Ha, ha, ha! Well, Mr. Serious-face, do you see the moral this time?" " No," said I, " upon my honour." "No ! Well, then, I'll tell you it ; and I hope it may be of use to those parents that have numerous little pledges, and who, in order that they (the pledges) may be finer than a lot of young peacocks, exact more than the industry of galley-slaves from their ser vants. Behold yon poor girl, with her slight, attenuated form, wasted arms, and flushed check, (and she is also the child of some one,) struggling with six pampered, strong, petted, rude children, not only having to perform every drudgery for them, but being made accountable for all their wilfulness. Was it not pitiful to see, when some of the younger ones' hats fell off, that a quantity of long, false, flaxen curls was fastened to their little bats ; thus training them up to deceit and imposition, and making them aura before they can speak. No :if parents will have numerous be-curled and be-peacocked little darlings, let them provide more servants ; at least, let them he taught that it will be well if a just and bountiful Creator will he satisfied that one of His children (for the helpless are all his) shall become the heartbroken, hopeless, and helpless slave of another's. At all events I will follow her, and take care that she shall be no loser by what I have done." " Joe," - said I, " for that sentiment, and that act, I am half-disposed to forgive you all the effects that you have per petrated to -day." We proceeded on to Seacombe, and were just proceeding down the slip, for the purpose of returning to Liverpool, when a loud laugh from the hotel-window arrested our atten tion. We turned round, and perceived the elderly gentle man we had met at Brighton, who beckoned us to come in. Joe was rather shy, but the old gentleman would take no denial, and another tremendous laugh greeted our entrance, but he shook us by the hand heartily. " Well," said he, " as your grief so completely overpowered you to-day at New Brighton, that you were obliged to leave your porter untouched, if you think you are sufficiently cooled down, I shall be glad if you will take a glass with me—ha, ha, ha!--: it perhaps may keep you from fainting again ; indeed I re quire a glass myself, for, after your affecting story to-day, I had a difficult job to keep my young ninnies from crying. Ha, ha, ha !—oh, oh!" At this time the young ladies came up, skipping like larks, and were not a little astonished to find an addition to their company. " Here, Miss B — g," said the old gentleman, " here is our sentimental friend." Miss B—g!" exclaimed Joe; " pardon me, but is your -g?" "It is." " From N—, near Manches- The very same, at your service." " The devil ered Joe; " my father's old and dearest friend !—the very family, on my honour, to whom I had letters of intro duction, and with whom I intended to stop a few days as I passed!

Ir. Stil MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—We have great pain in recording the awfully sudden death of Margaret, the second daughter of the Rev. D. Winstone, chaplain of the county prison. The facts are as follow :—On Monday last, Mr. Winstone's three daughters (of whom the deceased, aged about eight years, was the second) went to spend the day at the house of the Rev. B. Maddy, in the Abbey Fore gate: His garden terminates with a paddock, in which his horse, a very quiet animal, was grazing. The three children went into the garden between four and five o'clock, and then extended their infantile play into the adjoining pad dock. When tea was ready, one of Mr. Maddy's servants went into the garden to summon the children to it. She heard a cry of distress, hastened to the paddock, and found two of them kneeling on the ground, under a cherry tree, by the lifeless body of their sister. One of them was supporting her head, and, in the wildness of grief, calling her by name— " Margaret! Margaret!" The call was in vain, for life was extinct. About three yards from the body was a puddle of blood, and it would appear that the deceased had either stag gered from that place, or had been carried there by her frantic sisters. The body was immediately removed to the house of Mr. Maddy, and that gentleman instantly proceeded in quest of medical assistance, having first called at Mr. Winstone's and communicated the fatal intelligence. Proceeding over the English bridge he met Mr. Foulkes, surgeon, who ac companied him back, and examined the body. He found on the forehead the mark of a severe blow, which, he had no doubt, had caused instant death. From the account given by the surviving children, it would appear that the deceased had carried a whip in her hand into the paddock, that she had either struck the horse or frightened him with it, and that the animal had kicked her—the kick causing death. It should be noticed that the children were by no means afraid of the horse ; that, in the early part of the day, when they were touching and patting him, they were warned by Mr. Maddy not to make too free with him ; and that when Mr. Maddy went into the paddock, on hearing of the accident, he found the horse quietly grazing within a few yards of the spot where the child lay. Mrs. Winstone was not at home when the fatal accident occurred, but was sent for and ar rived home yesterday. To paint her feelings would be im possible, and we shall not attempt it. How earnestly does a melancholy and sudden event of this nature bring home to every one's heart, but especially to that of a parent, the force of the scriptural truth—" In the midst of life we are in death !"—Salapiros Journal. As the days this burning and shining light of whiggery can remain a " political character" are numbered and few in number, it may be well, ere he for ever leaves the stormy arena of political conflict, to show our readers what sort of a man he As. Poor fellow ! we condole most sincerely with him. He is really much to be pitied ; for all his life, and it has been a long one, he has been a firm and consistent and unswerving adherent of whiggery. Through good report and through evil report he has clung to the creed of liberal ism. When it was a by-word and a reproach to be a whig, he was a whig; when the whigs were banished to the cheer less benches of opposition, and left there to pine in mortifi cation and agony of spirit, he was a whig, and a whig be remained ; when the whigs thought place and pay a paradise which they were never more to enjoy, and hardly dared to hope for, he was a whig; when they succeeded to power (alas! that was a woful day for England) then, it is almost unnecessary to say, he was a whig. Expecting the reward of his long devotion to the unrighteous cause, he of course remained a whig until he obtained that reward in the shape of the judgeship of the admiralty court, with a thumping salary of some thousands per annum. Gratitude to those by whom his place was given increased his love of whiggism; and accordingly, when he became a respectable character, one who occupied no mean place on the judgment seat, and was clothed in the most sacred vestments of a distributor of justice, he did not forsake whiggery, but clung to it with as much tenacity as before. Nay, it is a question whether the taste which be had enjoyed of the loaves and fishes did not whet his appetite, and make him anxious for more, or in case more could not be procured for himself, induced him to make the most strenuous exertions to obtain a share of the, good things for those hungry vagabonds who held the same opinion as his patrons and himself. Be this however as it may, it is certain that Dr. Lushington became one of the most zealous, most active, most uncompromising sup porters of whiggism, foul and abominable as it was, ig• and will be. To that detestable political creed he devoted his time, his talent, his eloquence. He was constant in his at tendance in the house, and his name was to be found in the list of every division of the slightest importance. He spoke well and ably, and learnedly, and as he possessed considerable influence, as his opinion carried with it great weight, he was enabled to render great and important assistance to the whigs. And this the whigs do no hesitate to acknowledge, and as a proof of the gratitude they felt to " good master doctor" they brought in a bill giving him a larger increase of salary. The tories, however, succeeded in tacking a clause to the bill by which it was enacted that after the present session of par liament the judge of the Amiralty Court should be to sit in the house of commons. Thus, as we said at p the outset, the days that the learned doctor can remain a politi cal character are very few in number. Scion will he have to abandon his proud position as representative of the " intel ligence " of the greasy electors of the Tower Hamlets ; scon will he have to give less attention to Westminster and more to Doctors' Common's. Poor man ! What a melancholy exciting bustle of political life, for the dull, Common-place monotony of a court of law is indeed a matter much to be lamented. We feel for him, we condole with him. The tories, stupid blockheads, thought forsooth that the duties of ajudge were incompatible with the occupations of a politician —that the spotless purity of the ermine was in danger of being tarnished in the bustling excitement of an election contest — that the scales of justice might be held unevenly when he in whose hands they were placed ran hither and thither to soli cit and beseech, and pray for, the suffrages of those whose hr * d hy of a causes he ha, to decide. ...nese notions were wort-, ,ot tones. In days gone by they might have been considered of some weight, but in these glorious times of wkggery and humbug and " march of intellect," and all the rest of it, they were not deserving of a moment's attention from the pro fessors of " liberalism." Oh ! dear no ! These immaculate friends of purity could see nothing but propriety in having the occupant of the judgment seat spouting in the House of Commons, storming and bawling in the hustings, and seeking " In a bondman's ke With bated breath, and whispering humbleness," the most sweet voices of the unwashed and filthy and ragged " free and independent electors " of Wapping and such like localities ; but the whigs were obliged to give in,—they were obliged to swallow the amendment of the tories in the Admi ralty Courts bill. The amendment was a bitter bolus for the poor doctor, and he pulled many wry faces before he could contrive to gulp it. The tories, however, were determined, and down his throat it went. One word about this said amendment. The whigs had always been opposed to it, and it was expected that they would try hard to defeat it, especially as, if it should be carried, it would deprive them of the able services of Dr. Lushington. It so happened, however,that Dr. L. had been guilty of the high crime and misdemeanour of thinking for himself, and bad actually the temerity to propose a series of amendments in one of Lord John Russell's best measures ; and to the great mortification of the little lord these amend ments were adopted by a great majority of the house. For this act of daring insubordination Lord John, in a moment of vexation, declined to oppose the amendment proposed by the conservatives in the admiralty courts' bill, and the con sequence is, that Dr. Lushington cannot, after the end of the present parliament, retain his seat in the House of Commons. Now, we think that the conduct of Lord John Russell and the whigs in this matter was most disgraceful. Approving most highly, as we do, of the amendment to which we refer, and we approve of it because we think that a judge ought to know nothing of politics, least of all ought he to be a political partisan, we still think that Dr. Lushington has great cause of complaint. From the conservatives of course he had no right to expect any consideration. Inde pendently of the desire which they must feel to see the bench of justice above all reproach, they would naturally be glad and anxious to exclude one of the most powerful of their opponents from parliament; but the whigs were bound by personal and party considerations of the strongest kind to take a different view of the matter. Dr. Lushington has long been one of their most distinguished men : his great learning, his high talent, his powerful eloquence, added to his unshrinking consistency, must have made him an acquisition to the whigs ; but all this was forgotten, because he (Dr. L.) dared, on one solitary occasion, to act independently. Oh ! these worthless scamps Not only are they treacherous to the country, but they are treacherous to their own personal friends. Surely, surely, such conduct as they have shewn to Dr. Lushington must disgust the few really respectable men who are to be found in their ranks. The Doctor was an honest man—that is, as honest as a Whig can be—and an able man, ay more honest and more able than any other to be found enrolled under the filthy banner of Whiggery ; but nevertheless because he acted con scientiously, opposed as we are to Dr. Lushington, we feel he has been most foully treated by his political allies ; and if he does not immediately separate himself from them, we shall think much more meanly of him than we are anxious to do. Take warning by him, oh ! ye one or two Whigs, who have more pretensions to ability and character, and leave, we pray you, the vile ministerial gang, or you will assuredly be held accountable for their monstrous iniquities. Dr. Lushington's manner of speaking is very peculiar. He is very energetic, and throws his arms about lustily. Whatever be the subject, he always speaks at the very top of his voice—in fact he shouts. Any one hearing him for the first time, would think he was in a most violent passion, but it is nothing more than a habit. He lisps, and always uses the letter w instead of r; for instance ; he would say, " gwacious heavens ! and have those awant wascals the Whigs, kicked me out of Pawliament !" He is a good and even eloquent speaker, and it is impossible not to see that in what he says he is always in earnest. As an authority in the laws of nations he is unequalled, and is, " take him for all in all," as we have already said, a most able man. He is about the middle height, perhaps a little above it. His face is rather small. He dresses with much plainness. SEIZURE OF RIBBONMEN WITH THEIR DOCUMENTS. — On Thursday night last, between the hours of 11 and 12 o'clock, when Serjeant Hayes and his party of constabulary, stationed at Belturbet, went round to inspect the public; houses, they discovered two men in the house of Mr. Patrick Prunty, one of whom had papers in his hand, which, upon seeing the police, he attempted to destroy by eating them. lam happy to say he was prevented from doing so, and that both were conducted to the police barrack. On Saturday an investigation took place before the magistrates at petty sessions ; but as it was with closed doors, I cannot send you the particulars. However, the documents, which are connected with the ribbon conspiracy, fully warranted the bench to commit the prisoner to Cavan gaol forthwith, to be tried at the next sessions. The other man had been held to bail. The fellow who was committed is of the name of John Clarke, residing at Derrilin. about ten miles from this town, where he had been master of a school. With this, and the many proofs daily coming to light of a widely extended conspiracy, who will not urge the necessity of Protestants being upon the qui vice? Great credit is due to Constable Hayes and his men for their ever prompt and efficient discharge of their duty.—Fermanagh .RPporler. COMMUNICATION BETWEEN LONDON AND DUBLIN.—It is the intention of the London and Birmingham Railway Company, in conjunction with the Grand J unction, the Crewe and Chester, and Chester and Birkenhead Companies, as soon as the two latter lines are opened (which will take place either next month or in September), to accelerate the mail trains, so that they will reach Birkenhead in six hours and a half after their departure from London. This can be easily effected, as, in addition to shortening the distance from Bir mingham to Liverpool about 13 miles, by means of the line from Crewe to Birkenhead, the gradients are greatly supe rior to those on the Liverpool half of the Grand Junction Railway. It is in contemplation to fix the departure of the mail packets from the Birkenhead side of the Mersey, which will cause another saving of 20 minutes, as the railway runs close to the pier. The mail communication between the two capitals will, by this arrangement, in ordinary weather, be effected within 19 hours, which is, in fact, only one hour and a quarter more than what was expected to be accomplished by the Chester and Holyhead line of railway, and steamers from the latter port to.Kingstown.—Dublin Monitor. THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILwAv.---The greatest activity prevails on the whole extent of this line, and the final completion of the work is now looked forward to ; 800 men are alone employed between Brighton and Clayton, and no exertion is spared by the contractors and those engaged in this important undertaking. The deep cutting to the south 'of Major Paine's, at Patcham, is nearly finished, and great progress is also made with the tunnel which is to pass under that gentleman's estate. Further up, that portion of the work in the contract of Mr. Flavel, is in a state of great forwardness, and the formidable cutting in this part will be completed in a short time. In fact, between this point and t h e Clayton tunnel, a few months will suffice to complete the whole works, and there is no apparent reason why within one year from this time the public should not he travelling by steam to London. Higher up the line some striking ob jects present themselves. Of these are the Pool Valley viaduct, of eight arches (now nearly completed) and the Ouse Vale viaduct, of 30 arches, in a state of forwardness. The works also in the neighbourhood of these structures are being carried on with energy, and in a great many parts the permanent rails are already laid, EXTENSIVE FORGERY' ON THE BANK OF ENGLAND.— About two o'clock, on Sunday afternoon , Mr. Superintendent Stephens, accompanied by Inspector Hall and Sergeant Hid son, proceeded to a house in Henry-street, Birmingham, re cently taken by an elderly widow, named Mary Pritchard. Having procured a ladder, Inspector Hall ascended to the top story, where he obierved a man and woman working a small iron press. Superintendent Stephens and Sergeant Hidson broke in at the lower window, and discovered the man and woman employed in turning the rollers. Underneath was the plate of a forged Bank of England note for £5 ; in other parts of the room were found notes in all stages of prepara tion for issuing, but only a few completed. George Brad nock, the man apprehended, is an engraver, but for years was employed as an exciseman, at Wellington, in Shropshire, and has long been suspected of being extensively engaged in Bank of England forgeries. The female prisoner, there is little doubt, has also been for a long period connected with the trade. She has a family of eleven children, and is closely related to some of the most respectable families in the town. It is understood that the prisoners were engaged, when dis turbed, in getting up an order of 250 £5 notes, and 250 £lO notes, for certain parties from Manchester, who were waiting in Birmingham for its completion. At the time the police were in the house, these gentry were seen in the neighbour hood, but catching a sight of the officers, they suddenly and expeditiously escaped. In the course of a few hours the order would have been finished, and . Manchester and its neighbour hood, in the course of a week, inundated with forged paper. executed. employedted. o The notes completed wer e for £5, ld dated Nov. 14, 1838 and signed "J. Booth." The pressai forg the forgery implementshas not well ot occurred in Bir a completerei n every a erasee respect n e c f t detected private,and mingham since the celebrated case of Badkin and others, executed at Warwick about twenty years ago. Resolved,—That it' be respectfully recommended to the several congregations of the colored population, of the city of Baltimore and state of Maryland, to announce, from their several and respective pulpits, that a public meeting would be held at the Bethel school room, in the said city, on Monday evening the 25th day of November, 1839, for the purpose of selecting two persons, as delegates, to visit the province of British Guiana and the island of Trinidad, to ascertain the character of the climate, soil, natural production. and the political and social condition of the colored inhabitants of the province and island aforesaid, and hereafter to report to a public meeting, to be called for that purpose, all the infor mation acquired by them, and especially whether it possesses such advantages as can justify the free coloured population of this city and state to migrate thither. In pursuance thereof, a large and respectable number of the free coloured population of the city of Baltimore aforesaid, tnet at the Bethel school-room, in the city of Baltimore afore said, on Monday evening the 25th November, 1839. The meeting was organized by the appointment of Thomas Green, as chairman, and Harrison H. Webb, as secretary ; the object of the meeting being fully explained, the following resolution was offered : Resolved,—That this meeting now proceed to elect two persons as delegates, with instructions to proceed first to the province of British Guiana, on the continent of South Ame rica, and thence to the island of Trinidad, and at each of said places to ascertain the character of the climate, soil, natural productions, and the political and social condition of the colored inhabitants of the island and province aforesaid. Said resolution being adopted, the meeting proceeded to elect two persons in conformity thereto, and after counting all the bal lots, the chairman announced to the meeting, that Nathaniel Peck and Thomas S. Price had received the largest number of votes, and were duly elected delegates for the purposes set forth in the foregoing resolution. " Now this is to certify to all to whom it may come, that in pursuance of the proceedings had in the premises, that the above named Nathaniel Peck and Thomas S. Price, are duly authorized, empowered, and commissioned to proceed to thr province of British Guiana, and the island of Trinidad, for the purpose contemplated and especially set forth by the written and aforeg*g resolution. .

N. BRICE, Chief Judge, Balt. City Court. W. D. G. WORTHINGTON, As. Judge B. City Court. U. S. HEATH, Dist. Judge U. S. Court. S. C. LEAKIN, Mayor of the City of Baltimore." In pursuance of the foregoing resolutions, we, your dele gates, proceeded to Boston, and on the 21st of December, 1839, sailed for Georgetown, Demerara, in the province of British Guiana, where we arrived on the 21st January, 1840. We proceeded to deliver the letters which we were the bear ers of, to those gentlemen whom Mr. Carbery had written to, and were received with all due respect. It was then arranged that we should pay a visit to his Excellency, Governor Light, next day at twelve o'clock. At the time appointed, we were accompanied there by Mr. Bagot, and introduced to his Ex cellency, who received us in a manner highly flattering, and gave us a great deal of important information, and assured us if we or any of our brethren should feel disposed to emigrate to Guiana, we might rely upon his protection and assistance ; as much so as if we were British-born subjects. By appoint ment, the same afternoon, we met the board of directors of the Emigration Society, convened expressly to have an inter view with us. The following is from the Royal Gazette, of the 23rd January. EMIGRATION SOCIETY Extracts from the minutes of the proceedings of the Board of Directors. The secretary laid over letters from Edward Carberry, Esquire, one of the 18th December last was read, and ordered to be published for general information, being as follows : " Boston, 18th December, 1839. "DEAR HOLMES,—This letter will be handed to you by Messrs. Nathaniel Peck and Thomas S. Price, who have been appointed agents by the free coloured people of the State of Maryland, to visit British Guiana, and to report to their brethren the advantages they are likely to derive from emigrating to that colony. " I have agreed with the Baltimore Committee of Immi gration, that the passage of their agents to Demerara, and their expenses while there, shall be paid, and that sixty dollars shall be allowed them on account of their return passage to this country. I consider myself responsible for the fulfilment of this agreement, and request you will furnish the necessary funds on my account, should there be no public resources available. " The visit of Messrs. Peck and Price being connected with a subject of great importance to the agricultural interests of British Guiana, I have no doubt every facility will be afforded them in the accomplishment of their object. "They have consented to quit their families, and to under take a long voyage, chiefly on the faith of my representations ; they have therefore, peculiar claims upon me, and I cannot too strongly recommend them to your kind protection. Ever yours, "E. CARBEItY. " J. A. Holmes, Esq." The secretary informed the board of the arrival in the colony of Messrs. Nathaniel Peck and Thomas S. Price, delegates chosen and appointed by a general meeting of the free coloured population of the city of Baltimore and State of Maryland, held on the 25th November, 1839, to proceed to the province of British Guiana, for the purpose of ascertaining the character of the climate, soil, its natural productions, and the political and social condition of the coloured inha bitants of the province, and of reporting thereon ; and especially whether it possesses such advantages as can justify the free coloured population of the aforesaid city and State, migrating hither. Messrs. Nathaniel Peck and Thomas S. Price were then introduced at the board, and laid over their credentials, and the unanimous expression of the desire of the hon. chairman and directors to render them every assistance in their power to further the important object they have in view, was con veyed to these gentlemen. And further, It was Resolved—That a public advertisement be issued, soliciting the inhabitants generally to afford them, during their intended progress throughout the province, every assistance and kind attention in their power. The board then adjourned. True Extract.) THOS. C. BAGOT, Secretary . . the attention Of the inhabitants of the Province of British Guiana, is respectfully directed to the above resolution of tb.e Board of Directors of the Voluntary Subscription Immigra tion Society ; and any expenses which may be incurred in forwarding the aforenamed delegates from place to place, or otherwise, will be defrayed on application to the board. By command, THOS. C. BAGOT, Secretary. We soon found we were amongst friends who tendered us the hospitalities of the colony, and made ample arrangements to facilitate our travels throughout the colony. We remained in town for several days, sufficiently long to have possessed all the information relative to town affairs, manners, cus toms, &c. We now undertake to give a faint description of George town, the capital of the colony. The streets are all Mac- Adamized, and crossing each other at right angles.— Water -street, being the principal business street, is thronged with people throughout the day; it is next to the river. and runs parallel with it. The stores are very large, and well fitted with every article that fancy may dictate. The dwelling-houses, which are frame, are built at least twenty feet apart, in order to have a free circulation of air ; and, indeed, comfort being always consulted in the erection of their dwellings, all of them have large galleries or balconies in front, and many all around them, with abundant fruit and other ornamental trees, shrubbery and flowers, constantly dressed in their never dying foilage. The water used here is rain -water, falling upon slate roofs, and is conducted by spouts into cisterns, the most of which are composed of iron plates or wood—the water is very pure, clear and pleasant tasted. In Georgetown, there are two Protestant churches ; one Presbyterian; three Wesleyan Methodist, and one Catholic ; all of which we visited, and were highly gratified to, find them well attended, and that they had entirely banished prejudice from the House of God, as well as every where else—persons of colour occupying pews throughout the church, according to their standing and ability to pur chase, with an ample number of free pews and seats for strangers and others. On the first of Febrilary, at ten o'clock, a.m., started on board the American-built steamer Victoria, in company with a Mr. William Jones, a highly accomplished gentleman, (the son of an opulent proprietor residing in England,) who, on the previous evening, had offered to accompany us to the islands of Legaun and Wakanaam. He proved of signal service in pointing out to us every thing of note, and in an swering the many questions which we put to him ; all of which we felt very grateful for, and on parting, we were provided with letters of introduction to every section of the country. We arrived at Legaun about half-past 12, m., where we were kindly received. We must now give a short description of the country. The land ip flat, with canals running throughout the cultivated portion of the colony ; but these canals answer three import ant purposes : Ist, to drain the land for the cultivation of sugar, ac. ; 2dly, answer as fences or boundaries between plantatinns ; as means of transportation for the canes from the fields to the works, and from the works to the ship ping ; hence, there is an immense saving in animal labour in bringing the produce to market. The country really has quite an animating appearance ; every thing like vegetation growing with the greatest luxuriance ; indeed such is the fer tility of the soil (which wants no manuring) that everything belonging to a tropical climate grows as if it were by magic. Oranges, limes, and cocoanuts are in the greatest abundance. Pine-apples, bananas, plantains, mangroves, sappadilloes, guavas, and many other fruits too tedious to mention. Sweet potatoes, yams, casava, &c., whilst we also saw Indian corn growing, of which, there can be three crops raised in the year. Cabbage, beets, lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes, with a great variety of peas-and beans, we saw growing, and partook of the most of these things whilst there. The sight of all these things, as well as the sugar and coffee being in full bearing and maturity at that season of the year, can be better imagined than described. After being on this island three days, and visiting nearly the whole of it, and being highly gratified, we accepted the very kind offer of Captain William son, proprietor, who sent over one of his schooners to convey us to Wakanaam, where we spent two days, and had ample opportunity to test their hospit a lity, (which abounds every where,) and also to gather a great deal of useful information touching our mission. After spending an agreeable time on this beautiful island, Captain W. sent another of his schooners from the other side of the island, which landed us at planta tion " Good Intent," owned by Captain W. From here, after spending a night and morni ng , we v i s i te d t h e next estate , " Spring Garden,' owned owned by an American gentleman, Mr. Charles Benjamin, who received us with every mark of friend ship, and showed us every part of his beautiful estate, which is a charming situation, possessing many advantages as a situation in the country, being on the noble river Essequibo, and the steamer from Georgetown stops here on her up and down passage, four times each week ' • besides a f oun t a i n o f never failing water, obtained from a bore a great depth in the earth. After spending two days here, being famished with horses by Mr. Benjamin, who accompanied us some distance on the road, we started down what is termed the Arabian Coast, for at least thirty miles, stopping at several estates on our route, as we were provided with letters of introduction. This is a most splendid part of the colony, being in a high state of cultivation, with the exception of many fields which have been recently thrown out for the want of labourers, as we found that to be the only complaint which was prevalent all over the colony ; indeed it was quite apparent to our view; for there were many acres of beautiful land only abandoned or thrown out the last year, and the canes and weeds growing up together ; and in many fields, particularly at " Spring to G cut ad bring them to tb Garden there were canes decaying nr de w cay ks i . irg for the want of persons To give a minute description of our travels as written down upon our journals, would swell the form of this pamphlet be yond any reasonable size. That this country possesses ad- After spending as many days as we thought proper, and seeing all and everything of importance, conversing on every occasion with the labourers, not only in their cottages, but in the field and buildings where they manufacture the sugar, all of whom expressed their entire satisfaction with their situa tion, and would be glad to receive any number to help them in the field or works. After being absent from town ten days, we returned in the steam-boat to Georgetown ; on the wharf we met a Mr. Moses Benjamin, the American consul, who gave us a pressing invitation to stop at his dwelling, which was near by and make it our home, at that or any other time while we remained in the colony : for this, as well as many other acts of kindness, he has our gratitude and best wishes. On the next morning, at half-past 9 o'clock, we again started on board the same steamer for New Amsterdam, in Berbice. On board, we found several gentlemen to whom we had been introduced before ; also, our friend, Mr. M. Benjamin, who was going on business. He paid us every attention, and in troduced us to Mr. D. C. Cameron, a merchant of Berbice, who proffered his house as a home as long as we might choose to remain in the colony. On the next morning (our arrival' being noticed in the papers) we were waited upon by many proprietors, as well as others, all soliciting and seeming anxi ous for us to pay a visit to their district first. and furnishing conveyances in abundance. February 12.—1 t being a rainy morning, we could not fulfil our engagement to breakfast. After 12 o'clock it cleared, and we walked out to " Rye-head" coffee estate ; proprietor, Mr. Welshman—returned by the way of the garrison, and arrived in time for dinner. •. 13th.—After a rainy morning, and through the politeness of Mr. Cameron, we visited several plantations and returned to town the same day. 14th.—By arrangement, we started at an early hour in the morning up the east side of the Berbice river, in company with Mr. Laing and Mr. Newlands ,• after a ride of about ten miles, we stopped at plantation `' Buse's Lust," where we breakfasted with the gentlemanly manager, Mr. Hicks. From here we went further up the river to " Highbury," in a boat belonging to the sheriff, by invitation from him, to see the Hill-Coolies, natives of the East Indies, who are a hardy race, but yet in a state of ignorance, as they cannot be prevailed upon to quit their idols. At 4 o'clock, we embarked to return to " Buse's Lust ; " in a short time we started for town, and arrived in time for dinner. We stopped with Mr. New lands, dined, and spent an agreeable evening with him and his interesting family ; at I 1 o'clock returned to Mr. Cameron's, which was close at hand. 15th. Rained as usual in the morning. At 12 o'clock we again started in a barge, in company with three gentlemen, to visit an estate, ‘ , 6 Standvastigied," which is about six miles up the river, on the west side, and spent an agreeable afternoon and night. Returned next morning in time for church—went to the Rev. Mr. Redwar's church, which was well attended. At three o'clock, paid a visit to his Sunday school, which is composed of 250 or 300 scholars, of all ages ; some learning to read the Bible with spectacles, and repeating their cate chism ; it was a gratifying sight to behold these people seek ing knowledge, it being .only about 18, months since the most of them were emancipated. We left here, to fulfil an engage ment out to dinner. Returned at ten o'clock. Monday morning, lith.—Started again with our friend .Mr. Newlands, in a boat across the river, to visit a portion of the west coast, and stopped at his plantation, " Woody Park," and found here, as everywhere, the great want of la bour. Spent this day and night very pleasantly. Next morn-. ing, started early for town, where we arrived, highly delighted with our jaunt. Tuesday, 18th.—Returned some visits, and made prepara tions to leave the next day in the steamer. At ten o'clock the next morning took leave of our kind friends and Berbice, and at five were again safe at Georgetown ; spent one day there, by invitation ; started with Mr. Butts, who proffered his carriage and company to visit some of the plantations on the Demerara river. Stopped on the way at several estates. At length we arrived at Mr. Butts' coffee and plantain estate, where we saw everything in order ; had a lunch, then returned to plantation " Hersterling," a very splendid estate—Attor ney, Mr. Retemeyer ; Manager, Mr. Rogers. We parted company with Mr. Butts, who went to town, and we remained to spend a day at this estate. It rained all the following day, and we had to keep the house, which we spent in reading and writing. The nest day, 22d, at ten, cleared off—horses and carriage being ready, visited several plantations, and stopped at " Golden Grove," Dr. Rankin, proprietor, who gave us much encouragement for people to emigrate to this colony. Left here and returned to town, and dined with Mr. Retemeyer, attorney for " Hersterling." Sunday, 2Sd.—Went to. Presbyterian church, which was well attended. In the evening, went to Christ church, (Pro testant;) here the organ and choir is very good. Monday.—Attended the criminal court to witness some important trials then going on. The court is composed of three judges, as our courts ; and three assessors, who must be tax-payers, are called .to take their place in rotation, without regard to colour. 'We saw, during our attendance, a coloured gentleman occupying that station. Many of the clerks in the public offices are coloured; also, tellers in the bank, &c. We have now got through with nearly all our excursions, and are anxiously waiting to get conveyance to Trinidad. We are told that we must wait for the steam-packet, which is daily expected as she is now due. There is no direct communication between this place and Trinidad. On the 28th, dined with Mr. Wishart, a gentleman of colour, where we met with several white gentlemen, and everything was in harmony with their professions. We spent quite an agreeable evening. March ist.—Sunday forenoon, went to Independent chapel (Methodist.) In the afternoon, to the Catholic, and in the evening to the Protestant churches. Wednesday, 4th.—Received a polite invitation from a Mr. Montaroux, proprietor of " Big Diamond," which is about eight miles from town, to ride out in his gig, which he sent by a servant, to breakfast • then to visit the " Sand Hills," the beginning of th e hi g h land, distant from Georgetown not over twenty-five miles • in a few minutes we were on the road, and arrived in good time to breakfast. As soon as the tide served, our boat being well provided with provisions, as well as everything else, we set sail with wind and tide in our favour, and at six we dined, being then near by. At twenty minutes past six, we landed on a rising ground, which we ascended, and found ourselves upon a beautiful table-land of very great space ; this high land being first in the interior, it is at least sixty or seventy feet above the rest of the land.; but we are informed the land rises from this, up, forming beautiful table-lands to a great e x t en t, w hi c h is untouched by the hand or feet of man. After stopping at Mr. Brotherson's all night, which was very pleasant and cool, we started the next morning on the way back ; but, according to promise, our friend, Mr. Mon taroux, made us stop on the way down, to pay visits to two estates. In order, was plantation " Veeverly Force," pro prietor Mr. Dodson, who had waited breakfast for us. Staid here but a short time, then walked over a fine road (for which this colony is famous,) to the next estate,,with Mr. M'Clel lan, the manager ; this estate is called " Vrieseland," And we must say, that this is certainly one of the most delightful and best cultivated estates in the colony. The cottages and head-men's houses are extremely comfortable and handsome ; in fact, every thing and every person wore quite an animated and cheerful appearance. After spending some time here, we embarked in our boat, which had been brought down to this place by the boatman ; in a very short time we landed at the " Big Diamond," from whence we started, being highly delighted with our jaunt. We spent quite an agreeable evening with our friend and his interesting family. 6th.—Rose early and started for town, as we feared the packet had come in, and we might miss that ch anc e to get on to Trinidad. On our arrival, found the packet in—made preparation to start in her for Grenada, which is the nearest place to Trinidad that the packet touches. We will now endeavour to give the result of our researches, In the first place we will begin with _ • THE CLIMATE It being a part of the rainy season, we therefore saw it in its worst aspect. The thermometer ranging from 78 to 83 deg. The sun rising in a bank of vapourish clouds. At seven or eight o'clock, the sea-breeze springs up from the east, and though it clears the atmosphere, the sun is by no means as oppressive as we frequently experience it in June, July, and August. At the rainy season, at times, it rains very hard for a short time, stops suddenly and clears up. Sometimes it rains regularly every forenoon, and in the after noon it is clear : at another time it rained every night, and in the day scarcely a shower. On two different days while we were there, it rained all day.* * We were in the colony from the morning of the 21st of January, until the 10th of March, seven weeks. (To be concluded in our next.) Taglioni is gone to Paris, but is expected to return about the 23d instant to fulfil a short engagement previous to her departure for the north of Europe. " CLOSE OF THE PARTY WARFARE FOR THE SESSION." —" There has been a murrain amongst the bills this week," says the Examiner, on Sunday, under the above head. There has been not only murrain amongst the bills, but murderi— murder most foul as at the best it is, but in the case of Lord John Russell's bills, most wilful and unnatural. Tom Thumb was accused of making giants for the glory of killing them ; but the accusation is not supposed by our best critics to amount to anything more than that Tom told fibs ; whereas Lord John is clearly guilty of the wanton cruelty of creating monsters for no other purpose than having something of his own to strangle, in polite exchange for the measures which he chokes of his opponents. At the close of the session, it would puizle a lawyer from Philadelphia to say what par liament has done, beyond, by one of the most lazy operations in the world, lumping an additional five per cent. on all taxes for an increase of revenue. The old tale about Tom and Jack, in "Joe Miller," upon which Mr. Shiel was so surprisingly witty last session when he himself had' nothing to do, has been verified over again, or, rather, improved upon. Tom was doing nothing, and Jack's apology wouldfor idle - ness was that he was helping Tom. Ministers do nothing, and their apology is that their time has been fully taken up in preventing the opposition from doing anything. This is the "party ..warfare" of the expiring session ; but, as to its coming to a close, if there is any truth in a whig, the public at present have only had a foretaste of it. Lord John has counted up his speeches on the Reform Bill, and, finding that he spoke .on 62 successive nights in favour of it, vows that he can and will speak a hundred and twenty-four nights against Lord Stanley's measure next session as affecting it. It has always been a question amongst the learned, whether bellows were known in Irulcan's time, or whether he puffed his own fire with his own lips. The authorities preponderate in favour of the latter supposition, and the exercise of not the best pair of lungs in the world, with which Lord John promises to amuse us, will go pro tanto to confirm it as pos sible. All that Lord John has got to mind is, that his fire is not put out before the time conies for performing'the feat. —Morning Herald. The CHEAP POSTAGE BUBBLE.--The Post-office. revenue loses a million a-year by the inventions of the well-paid Mr. Rowland Hill, which were to increase the revenue by the reduction of the postage. What real, true, and unqualified donkeys ministers must have been to listen to such an ab surdity—what rogues they must be to have ventured to talk of the decrease of Post-office dues as a relief to the poor. The poor never write—why should they, even if they could ? What has a poor man, either mechanic or field-labourer to write about to anybody; or when is he to find time if ! he could write, and had anything to say ? The redu c ti on wa s made to favour rich merchants, whose wealth may be natu rally calculated by the extent of their correspondence. A house paying £2OOO a year postage, is proportionally so much richer and more important than a house paying £1000; but who complained of it ? Nobody ; and yet this abiurdity is brought forward as a boon to the people ; a boon so great, and its effects so surprising, that it was thought that every man, woman, and child, who could string three syllables to gether, would occupy all their time (to spare) in writing to their friends, so as to make up the deficiency produceable by the diminution. Mark the result—one million a year is cut off the revenue by the Tom -foolery, with all its idiotic slab bering stamps, and its absurd and indecent envelopes —a flagrant disgrace to a country of which a youthful lady is the Sovereign. But what happens ? Why, to make up for this deficiency, the people—that class of the people who really pay taxes—are to be screwed, whether they write letters or not. Surely this is hard upon people who never disturbed themselves or anybody else about postage, and especially hard upon members of parliament, of either house, who never paid postage, and whose degradation and inconvenience appear really and truly to have been two of the main objects of the measure. However, as we have before observed, the moment the people who do not write, and never —or if ever, very seldom—want to write, begin, as they must begin next year, to And the.absolute necessaries of life taxed and " dutified,” they will become even more grateful to the new poor law government than they are novf.—John Bull. inaport.s.

Some parcels of Wheat and Flour, in bond, have however, changed hands at fully our last quotations, and the importers and holders appear generally pretty confident. At this day's market we had a thin attendance, and the settled appearance of the weather counteracted the advance yesterday in Mark-lane so that the transactions were only to a very moderate extent, and at about the prices of this day week.

Since Tuesday last the Imports of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal from Ireland, Coastways, and from foreign ports, have been very small. The weather has continued unseasonably cold, with frequent heavy showers, during the past three weeks, and has very much impeded the progress of Hay-making ; but drying winds have gene rally prevailed, and a good deal of Hay has thus been secured in pretty good order; reports, however, more than ever confirm the previously adopted opinion of very light crops of this article, with very few partial exceptions; the deficiency of summer heat and sunshine protracts the progress of the crops of Grain towards ma turity ; and although it is believed that no great injury has recently been done which may not yet be recovered by fine warm weather, there is now too great a prospect of a late and precarious harvest ; and this remark is applicable to a circuit of lon miles around us, and to a great portion of Ireland . in consequence of which, and the advance in the value of Grain iu various influential markets, we experienced considerable excitement here in the Corn trade during the past week . an advance of 3d to 6d per 70lb on Wheat, and 6d to gd per barrel on Flour, free and in bond, was demanded, and in several instances obtained; but the appearance of the weather being more settled on Friday and Saturday last, the specu lative spirit subsided, and prices could not be got much, if at all, exceeding those of last Tuesday. 4 0 4 3 Irish 42 0 53 0 4 0 4 3 Amer. brl. free 3 8 4 0 Sweet U.S 37 0 38 0 Foreign, in bond 3 6 3 4 0 35 0 Ditto,diity free.. 4 0 4 3 OATMEA L, per 2401 b.
