CONTEMPORARY PRESS. PROGRESS OF CHURCH REFORM. (From the Times.) Few things have given us more pleasure, for some time past, than a brief and simple notice which ap peared in the London Gazette of. Friday last. It was to the following effect : " Notice is hereby given, that application is intended to be made to parliament in the next session for leave to bring in a bill for the division of the rectory of Winwick, in the county palatine of Lancaster, into separate districts for ecclesiastical purposes • and for the endowment of such separate districts out of the revenues of the said rectory; and for altering and reducing the present rectory-house, called Winwick-hall, and the offices and grounds attached thereto ; and for providing parsonage-houses for the incum bents of the said separate districts ; and also for extending to such bill the provisions of the several acts now in force for promoting the building of additional churches ; and for raising money by rates or pew-rents, or such other means as may be thought expedient for the several purposes of the said bill.—Dated this 19th day of October, 1840. Kinder ley, Denton, and Kinderlev, Lincoln's-inn, London, solici tors to the Earl of Derby." By those who know anything of church statistics this announcement will be read with the same gratifi cation which we have expressed. But probably the majority of our readers will require some explanation of the circumstances of the case before they can share in our pleasure. That explanation, therefore, we will at once proceed to give. Winwick is one of those great, undivided, and, con sequently, unmanageable Lancashire parishes to which we have already once or twice, a few weeks back, called the attention of the friends of the church. It con tained, in 1831, above 17,000 inhabitants; now, pro bably, above 20,000. In point of revenue, Winwick is one of the largest rectories in England. It was returned.in the Ecclesi astical Report of 1835 as of the annual value of £4,220. Its patron is the Earl of Derby, and the present incumbent, Mr. Hornby, either a nephew or cousin of the earl. What a noble example, then, is here about to be given ! A bill is to lie carried through Parliament to divide the living into (we have heard) five or six sepa rate parishes, apportioning the tithes among the seve ral incumbents; to reduce the size of the present mag nificent rectory-house ; to build new parsonage-houses for the parochial clergy; and, where needed, to build a new church or churches. We should observe, that we see in the commissioners' report the names of three new churches already exist ing, and we also see their miserable endowments par ticularized. These are Ashton, in Winwick, population 6,846, in come £lBl. Lowton, in Winwick, population 4,255, income £126. Newchurch, in Winwick, population 2,941, income £lOl. All these will at once be raised to the enjoyment of a decent provision ; and, we suppose, one or two other churches and parishes set out and provided. Of course there must be a sacrifice on the part of the pre sent rector, or patron, or both, to effect so great an improvement. No doubt some one will exclaim, as in the case of the Bishop of Winchester and the Farnham Bill, " So, then, Lord Derby will get the patronage of six livings, instead of one ! And this remark, with the ignorant or unthinking, almost takes away the whole merit of -the transaction. But those who have watched the < working of patronage, whether in church or state, know the prodigious difference. The abuse in the church which most needed remedy ing was the heaping up a large share of church:revenue upon a single person, where such revenue ought to have supported several efficient labourers. This in Ireland chiefly showed itself in the formation of " unions," those scandals to the church, which all par ties are now united in condemning and dissolving ; and in England by pluralities, which Ithe Primate's recent bill will gradually diminish. The least criminal of all forms of this evil was seen in such cases as Win wick, where a great revenue grew up without any blameable means hieing taken to raise it ; and all that could be wished was that such ample means should be divided among a larger number of labourers. It may be pleasant to a peer to have half-a-dozen tolerable livings to give away. But it is more than pleasant, it is profitable, to have one large rectory. Cannot any one see at a glance that the rectory of Winwick, with its £3,220. a year, could not be other wise than a part of the revenues of the earldom of Derby ? What nobleman would have wished a finer appanage for a younger son, or nephew, or son-in-law, than such a splendid endowment ? The Earl, then, in surrendering this noble piece of preferment, and manfully resolving to do his duty by 'the church and by the people, has set one of the finest examples which modern times have witnessed--=-an ex ample which we hope and trust will be extensively and immediately followed. Why can we not have it followed in the metropolis? The monstrous spectacles presented by such " pa rishes " as Marylebone and Pancras, for instance— how much longer shall they be suffered to continue ? The patron, in one case, is the Crown ' • in the other . the Dean and Ch a pt er o f St. P au l' s . Surely, neither of these livings can be allowed to be again filled with out an entire change in their organization. A "parish" extending from Guilford-street to Highgate-hill! Why have not the Dean and Chapter already taken the same course as the Earl of Derby, and formed their plan for its complete and final subdivision ? Cathedral Chapters, however, are, we are aware, among the slowest of all bodies in effecting changes. But there are other peers, and those not a few, who, like Lord Derby, hold considerable church patronage. Let them review their responsibilities in this matter. One thorough reform of this kind is of more real value than half a dozen donations to church building societies, necessary and laudable as these may be. WRECK OF THE ROYAL GEORGE. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) Colonel Pasley's operations at Spithead terminated on Sa turday the 24th ult., when the divers were employed for the last time, after having recovered a considerable quantity of wreck in the course of the week, the neap tides and the mild ness of the weather having favoured their exertions. Amongst the fragments got up were several stanchions of the orlop deck, a complete floor timber (the only piece that had not been broken by some of the numerous explosions), and a very substantial half timber of the same description; also some carlins and parts of beams. The whole of the wreck got up within the last three weeks was piled in front of the lead-house, in the dockyard. On Monday, the 26th, the Success frigate hulk and the two mooring lighters or lumps, Nos. 4 and 5, were towed into harbour by the Echo steamer and the pensioner seamen were paid off the same day, whilst the Portsmouth riggers returned to their duty in the dock yard. On Tuesday afternoon the stores supplied from Ports mouth yard having been landed, and the remainder put on board the Lightning navy steamer, commanded by Lieutenant steamer, Col. Palley, with all the Royal sappers and miners, the divers and their assistants, and the Chatham riggers, who had been employed at Spithead, embarked in the same vessel and were landed in Chatham-yard next day, about two o'clock p.m. Thus his operations have closed for the present sea son, but not with so much success as the colonel had antici pated, for he had sanguine hopes of clearing away the whole of the wreck before the beginning of November. This has not been accomplished, for the shoal of mud noticed in one of our former numbers, in which the remains of the wreck, and guns to the value of nearly £lOOO. are still buried, has been ascertained to be about 150 feet from east to west (this having been the direction of the ship's length), and from 120 to 125 feet in breadth from north to south ; its extreme height above the general level of the anchorage is 9 feet 6 inches, but its average height is much less, and it slopes away gra dually on all sides. These dimensions are according to the soundings taken by Serjeant Major Jenkin Jones, of the Royal sappers and miners, and Mr. Clewitt, leading rigger in Portsmouth-yard, on the 23d ult., in Colonel Pasley's pre sence ; and they suffice to prove that at least one-half of the mass of mud covering the wreck has been washed away since Lieut. Symonds and Mr. Clewitt sounded over it on the Bth of August last, when it measured 200 feet from east to west, and, on one part, nearly 300 feet from north to south, its ex treme height being 14 feet. Thus the half-anchor creeper, substituted for the rake, by partially raising the timbers which it gets hold of, and enabling the diver to sling, and the workmen to weigh them, disturbs the mud, and gives greater effect to the continual action of the tides, which washes it away. Last year when Col. Pasley commenced his opera tions, several parts of the wreck stood 33 feet above the level of the anchorage, for the stem was perfect above the level of the lower deck, as well as the stern, and the whole starboard side was standing to nearly the same level, the larboard side having fallen over; whilst the fragments of the upper decks, consisting of massy beams, &c., whose fastenings have been eaten away by the worms, lay in a confused mass over all. Colonel Pasley, , on breaking up his establishment for the sea son, expressed his extreme satisfaction with all the men em ployed, whether divers and their assistants, riggers, sappers and miners, or seamen : and he has expressed himself parti cularly pleased with the zeal and efficiency of the pensioners, nearly 40 of whom have worked under him during the whole of this season, and has declared that he will be happy to re ceive any of them next year, if not better employed. Many officers are of opinion that men of war may anchor over the wreck of the Royal George, in its present state, with safety, because none but broken fragments of large timbers or light pieces have been found lately, which have not consistency enough to carry away a ship's anchor, or break a chain cable ; but the natural action of the tides, by washing away the mud which now covers them, will lay the remaining floor-timbers and guns bare, which will be an impediment hereafter, so that the anchorage can scarcely be considered in a safe or sa tisfactory state, until the whole of the present shoal of mud, and all that remains buried under it, shall be reduced to:the level of the bottom around it. When this shall have been accomplished, the tides will have no tendency to effect any further change ; and if any fragments should still remain be low that level, they may be disregarded, if small, or broken to pieces by new explosions in the course of next summer, if large. The necessity of such very great explosions as have repeatedly taken place hitherto is not, however, anticipated for the future. ANTIPATIIIES.—Certain antipathies appear to depend upon a peculiarity of the senses. The horror inspired by the odour of certain flowers may be referred to this cause. Amatus Lusitanus relates the case of a monk who fainted when he beheld a rose, and never quitted his cell when that flower was blooming. Scaliger mentions one of his rela tions who experienced a similar horror at seeing a lily. And Montaigne remarks, that there are men who dread an apple more than a musket-ball. Zimmerman tells us of a lady who could not endure the feeling of silk, and shuddered when touching the velvety skin of a peach. Boyle relates the case of a man who had a natural abhorrence of honey. Without his knowledge some honey was introduced in a plaister ap plied to his foot, and the accidents that r esu l ted compelled his attendants to withdraw it . Hippocrates mentions one Nicanor who swooned whenever he heard a flute. Boyle fainted when he heard the splashing of water. Scaliger turned pale at the sight of water -tresses. Erasmus ex perienced febrile symptoms when smelling fish. The Duke D'Epernon swooned on beholding a leveret, although a h are did not produ ce th a t e ffect. Tycho Brahe fainted at the sight of a fox ; Henry the Third of France at that of a cat, and Marshal D'Albert at a pig ; and the horrors that whole families entertain of cheese- is well known. Julia, daughter of Frederick,King of Naples, could not taste meat without serious accidents. A TRUE JOHN BULL GEOLOGIST AND THE HIGHLAND GUIDE IN ARRAN. Another rara avis landed in the shape of a roast beef and plum pudding, jolly, elderly-looking gentleman —open coun tenance, ruddy complexion, and cheerful—every way well conditioned in body, but rather unwieldy and short-winded for mountainous pursuits. Having enjoyed his sail of 60 miles, escaping sea-sickness, and got his appetite well whetted, his first attraction was Mrs. Jamiesou's comfort able hotel, which he breathlessly reached, and found, in per fection, abundance of substantial belly-timber. Contentedly enjoying and refreshing himself, and thus missing his ac quaintances, who had gone on scientific researches, he had to sally forth attended by Sandy Crawford, the well-known, shrewd, cautious, polite, intelligent, and auld farrant" guide, to " see what was to be seen." Off he courageously started to ascend Goatfell, and try to fall in with his friends ; puffing and blowing like an old broken-winded horse, and co piously perspiring, he laboured hard to keep pace with Sandy during half an hour, when, getting exhausted, he hailed him to halt. " Hooch no, Sir, it's no juist tune yet, but gif ye're out o' wun an' dry, ye sud wat your whustle wi' the whisky, and tak' aff your coat." He did so, and resumed the new task of ascending—but he bad soon to give in and moor himself among the tall heather. Well, friend, just tell me now what is to be seen where we are, for I can go no farther ; and the truth is, I am only a plain, blunt, true Englishman, and don't understand one word of all the Latin and other cursed lingo about them here stones, formations, stratifica tions, and other-ations ; but since I have been fool enough, for fashion's sake, to come here, I'll reward you if you try to show me something worth while talking about when I get home to wife and family, and visit club. Daughters told me to bring a piece of the stone cow, left here since the flood, and here's the hammer, old boy.' Ou aye, preceesely, I understand ye perfectly noo, said Sandy, knowingly—lt's the peter-fashion, (petrifaction, petrified,) coo ye mean, ou aye, it's no juist finished. and canna weel be seen yet—ane o' the horns and a piece of the tail, an' ane of the hind cloots is no juist hardened eneuch, an' it will be neist moon afore the lime glacy dues, and the other stickan things fa' plenty eneuch to perfite the hail brute. Besides, its our far awa' for ye the day, being ayont yon heigh hill, in an awfu' luckin' sheugh, an' the fairies and witches hae some ban' in the wark. But if ye wad tak my advice, tak ye anither stiff drap o' the whisky, an' I'll show you a wonder o' a stane which nane o' your learnt friens ken ony thing about, its a secret; but os ye'ere a decent, kind gentleman, and has nae pride, I'll conduct ye.' Still puff, puffing, and breathless, the adventurous gentleman- followed Sandy, curiosity now les sening his fatigues, to a remote elevated spot, where stood an immense large isolated granite stone. "fhis is the deaf stane.' Deaf, deaf, what do you mean ? " It's a queer stane this. Climb ye on its top, an' while I'm standing below, I 11 cry and roar to ye, baith in Gaelic and English, an' I 'll be bound ye 'll no hear as woad, ye 'll be sae deaf, but only for the time.' The stations being accordingly taken with due solemnity on both sides,-Sandy gesticulated, opened his mouth wide, and seemed to bawl, roar, and halloo tre mendously—but uttered not a word or sound of any kind, only mimicking. The stranger stood, ' like patience upon a monument,' listening, in every attitude, with intense eager— ness, bawling to Sandy to cry loud—but no sound did he hear. Descending at length in a passion, he scolded Sandy for not speaking louder. I heard,' he said, ' the wild fowls screaming, the din of cascades and waterfalls, and the bleat ing cry of the sheep distinctly enough—but one word from your cursed Highland mouth I could not hear.' Dinna be sae angry. I telt ye ye could not hear the human voice—ye wad be clean deaf to it—an' I 'm no a wild fowl, a linn, or a sheep ! " Determined not to be imposed upon, and laughed at for his credulity, he ordered Sandy to mount the stone, and he would vociferate—Sandy did so, and acted his part as listener to admiration. The would be geologist exerted his lungs to the utmost, roared like ,a boatswain, stamped, cur se d Sandy, and swore lustily. Sandy, meanwhile, holding down first the right ear, then the left—making signs, pointing to his ears, and shaking his head most mournfully—all in token of absolute deafness. After repeated trials, and plentiful libations of mountain dew, and with the same results, the traveller implicitly believed that the stone actually possessed the quality ascribed to it, and hammered off some large spe cimens to enrich his private museum. The subject is worthy of an " illustration" by Cruikshanks, the celebrated Lon don artist. The corpulent and credulous London citizen, and Sandy, the Highland guide, in their respective ludicrous positions and attitudes, with a sketch of the mountain, bay beneath, &c., would afford excellent materials for a bunion rous picture. INTERESTING DISCOVERY OF ANCIENT REMAINS. On Thursday, the 22d of last month, a fragment of an an cient helmet was discovered by some labouring men in a pit near Cherry Tree, on the Preston Old Road. Even in its present corroded state this relic of another age presents evi dence of superior wormanship. It forms the scull-cap, or outtr portion, of a helmet, in all probability once belonging to an officer of rank, slain in the unhappy wars which deso lated Great Britain in the reign of Charles the First, or du ring the Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell. Originally the helmet has been highly gilt and ornamented : on each side of the crest are several lines of gilding, which are repeated on the lower part, and between the two:springing from behind forwards, is an elegant twig or branch of laurel, formed like wise of gilt-work. This helmet is of the same structure as those worn during the great civil wars. When complete it has clearly had a vizor, as one of the hinges by which that portion was fixed still remains, and on the opposite side are several of the rivets and rivet-holes, by which it was attached. There is also at the back part and on the left side a tube for the insertion of the plume. A helmet resembling this in ge neral, appearance is figured in " Meyrick." From these cir cumstances it is evident the helmet in question once formed part of the armour of an officer, that of the common soldier being simply a skull-cap, with a peak in front and sometimes behind, and entirely destitute of ornament. But the ques tion now suggests itself—if the helmet of an officer engaged during the great civil wars, how came it in this pit at Cherry Tree ? Probably thus—During the year 1643 there were some sharp skirmishes in these parts, between the Cavaliers, under the Earl of Derby, and the Republicans. But as no mention is made of any officer having fallen, we are inclined to fix a later period as that when the relics of which we speak were thrown into the pit whence they have recently been exhumed. The bloody battle of Preston, or Ribbleton Moor, was fought in 1649, between the Royalists under Sir Marmaduke Lang dale and the Duke of Hamilton, and the Parliamentarians under Oliver Cromwell, ending in the total defeat of the former. There can be little doubt that, on the routing of the Royalist army, many of the troopers would endeavour to make good their retreat by the moors and unfrequented country in this neighbourhood, many of them mortally wounded in the battle. It may be that some officer, high in command among the Cavaliers, died on or about this spot, and that his followers threw his body into the pit to prevent its mutilation by their pursuers. It is here assumed that the owner of the helmet belonged to the Royalist or losing party. Of this there seems little doubt, for if an officer of the Cromwellian or victorious party had here died of his wounds, he would, however low his rank, have been ho noured with all the pomp of a military funeral, and not hastily flung into such an unhonoured grave as a pit by the road-side. What strengthens this opinion is, that at the same time and place several bones were found, some of them being the bones of a man and others the bones of a horse. It is also worthy of observation that a few years ago a quantity of horses' bones were found in Tockholes, at no great distance from the pit where these other remains were discovered : with them there were no human bones what ever. Hence they may be referred to the earlier of the two periods of which we have spoken, and were probably depo sited there after one of the skirmishes in 1643, in which the men of Blackburn largely partook. It is not unlikely that both men and horses were left dead upon the field—the lat ter would be thrown into the nearest pit or quarry, and the former carried off and interred in consecrated ground by their surviving friends.—Blackburn Standard. EXPERIMENTS WITH THIRTY-TWO-POUNDER GUNS AND SHELLS. Wootwieft, Nov. 3.—lt is a curious fact, although not generally known, that a 32-pounder ball of nearly six inches in diameter, when fired through the timbers of a ship, scarcely makes a hole larger than might be momentarily re paired by the carpenter with a piece of wood of the thickness of a middle-sized walking stick. This is accounted for by the velocity of the ball in passing through, causing the wood to collapse to nearly its original state. It was announced a few weeks ago that the French had been trying experiments with a ball or rather shell, which on its entering the side of a vessel, tore the timber to pieces in all directions, and they prided themselves on the idea that they would, by this means, have great advantages over the English in the event of actual hostilities commencing between France and Great Britain ; this country is better prepared to meet them on this identical point, however, than they are aware of. It is now about eight years since a very scientific gentle man, who has made many improvements in fire-arms, tried experiments which convinced him that it was possible to make shells of such a construction that they would explode the moment they came in contact with the object aimed at, whether it was at a distance of 50 or 500 yards, or any range within the power of the gun from which the shell might be propelled. This gentleman submitted his views in 1832 to the Board of Ordnance ; but, as the country was at univer sal peace with the world, and no prospect of any difference with the other great powers, the members of the board did not consider themselves justified in recommending the ex pense that would be incurred, though it might be but trifling, for the purpose of perf ec ti n g th e pl an su b m itt e d t o th em . Highly to the honour of individual liberality, a gentleman of fortune, to whom the subject was mentioned, offered the use of a range of three miles on his grounds, and stated that the invention should be perfected if it cost £30,000. The inventor accordingly set to work, and succeeded to the utmost extent of his wishes in making a shell which had the desired effect on its striking the object with one of its sides, which it in variably did. But as the peace of the country and friendly assurances from foreign powers were secured without having recourse to arms, the invention has remained dormant for a considerable period. Recent events have, however, changed the aspect of affairs, and the Board of Ordnance, have in the course of the last few weeks had several experiments made with this description of shell, and its effects have exceeded their most sanguine expectations. The only reason for fur ther experiments being necessary previous to its general introduction as an engine of destruction, for the use of th e British army and navy , is a desire on the part of the Board of Ordnance to have the shells of a spherical shape as that form would answer the purpose much better, being more familiar to the men employed on large guns. The inventor has acceded to the wishes of the board, the members of which have given orders for the construction of a new target at the butt in the marshes, 16 feet larger than the one for merly in use, and of the strongest materials. They have also given orders that some of the most able and experienced gunners of the royal artillery be in readiness to accompany the inventor, and assist in the experiments about to be made in the course of the week. If the weather proves favourable, th e exper i men ts will be made from 32 -pounder guns, a new battery having been erected, on which six of these pieces of ordnance have been mounted, as they are most generally use d i n th e B r iti s h service. The inventor is perfectly satisfied of being able to effect the object desired by the Board of Ordnance, and has no doubt the shells will answer equally well in a spherical form as those already com pleted. Those only who have seen the effects and the shat tered state of the best and hardest timber, on being struck, could believe such damage could be done by such apparently simple means. PRESENTATION OF PLATE TO THE REV. JOHN JONES, meeting of the subscribers to CURATE OF DENBIGH. the plate to be presented to the Rev. John Jones, in token of their respect and gratitude forhisefficient services as curate years, was held at the of that parish, for upwards of fourteen Town-hall, at Denbigh, on Saturday. George re aylor, Sheffer, opened thetii e senior churchwarden, having taken the chair, ir o P ne s a e t nt the plate to the Esq., of Plas business of the meeting ; and Clough, having kindly consented i, rev. gentleman, addressed him in a speech which wa s eq ually well responded tu. The articles of plate consisted of a larger and smaller sil ver salvers, ca ke basket, chased co ff ee twotw twelve pot, soup ladle, two gravy spoons, six table s dessert spoons, twelve tea spoons, two sauce II : d: 8 spoons, twelve large silver forks, and twelve smaller ones. They were much admired for chasteness, and elegance design, and were manufactured by Messrs. Worervneea.nodf Mayer, of Lord-street, Liverpool, The following Isefhe in. scription upon the large salver:—" Presented, with h plate, value 120 guineas, to the Rev. Jo hn Jone s , curate of Denbigh, by his congregation, in token of their esteem, and as a rateful acknowledgment of benefits experienced during a lon g , zealous, and faithful ministry. September, 1840." VARIETIES. THE ALPAc4,!—The alpaca, now endeavoured to be natu ralised in Britain, is an animal of the llama tribe ; native of the Cordilleras, or mountain district of Peru ; very valuable for its wool, importations of which have already taken place to the extent of 3,000,0001b5. It is used as deer in the parks of the Spanish grandees in Peru, and its flesh is equal to any venison. Some are white, others brown and mottled. (Pat terns of manufactures from the wool, as fine as silk, were exhibited at the Glasgow Model and Manufactory Rooms.) The alpaca does not perspire as sheep do, and therefore re quires no smearing, which will be an immense saving to the Scotch farmer, and the heavy coat of wool on its body (fine as silk) is sufficient protection in the Peruvian mountains, where deluges of rain fall four months in the summer sea son ; and from the alpacas living under the line of perpetual snow, it proves that a cold climate is congenial to them even in winter. The alpaca lives on " zeho," a kind of withered grass which grows on all mountains above a certain altitude —proving that they will exist where sheep will not. Sup plies of the animal were at Glasgow for sale, and we believe Lord Breadalbane bought some to try on his estate at Tay mouth, where the cappercailzie already flourishes. There were, also, samples of the raw apalca silky wool, assorted black (without dye), white, red, brown, foxy, gray, mottled, &c. No animal grease in this wool—illustrative that the animal requires no washing before shearing, and the wool can at present be sold at 20d. per lb. During the panic of 1837, when Highland wool sold at nod. per lb., upwards of 1,000,000 lbs. of alpaca realised 2s. and 2s. 6d. per lb. Spe cimens of different kinds of manufacture from alpaca, in imitation of silk—some black as jet (without dye), others white, coloured, dyed, and wove in great variety of figures— can be manufactured at one-third the price of silk, and is said by the manufacturer to be three times more valuable than Scotch wool.—Literary Gazette. A SPORTING ECCENTRIC !—At the Doncaster Races of this year, an eccentric individual, named James Hirst, at tracted much observation, from the singularity of his " equi page." It consisted of a body, composed of hazel sticks, plaited, and secured with strong cord, with a head covered with old check - furniture. The machine was mounted on four large light cart-wheels, of equal size, and was drawn by one horse at a rapid rate. The old " squire," as he was called, had for several years indulged in similar vagaries, and had such an objection to paying taxes that it has been affirmed, that he, at one period, drove mules instead of horses ; trained a pig to serve as a pointer for his shooting ; and even has been known to ride a bull with the Badsworth hounds. This eccentric old sportsman died in Yorkshire in 1829, at the advanced age of 91 years.—Whyte's History of the Turf. ARTIFICIAL SLATES.—The following process has been adopted, for the purpose of making pasteboard slates, so as to obtain all the advantages of slate, for writing or drawing, without the disadvantage (of its fragility and weight . To one part of the pulp of common white paper is added an equal quantity of agillaceous earth. The substances must be kneaded together with linseed oil, and then pressed thin and shaped to the required sizes. These leaves of mixed clay and paper are well dried, polished, and then covered over with oil on both sides. The artificial slates thus prepared are not acted on by water, and scarcely by fire. They are, besides, very light, convenient, and very cheap. CIRCASSIAN BRAVEUX.—" Innumerable instances of in dividual bravery and heroism might be here collected," says Mr. Bell, in his journal of a residence iu Circassia : " of these there is no want ; although there is no appearance of a principle of combination by which greater and more per manent results might be produced. I should not give you the following instance, but that the greater part of the transaction was witnessed by several people who happened to be on the banks of the Kfiban at the time ; and that it is an example of a desperate love of liberty, general among Circassians, of whom very few ever allow themselves to be made prisoners. A young man of Shapsuk, after killing or wounding several Russians in a late affair across the Kfiban, was made prisoner, and carried to Yekaterinodar. There he was questioned about, and frankly told, all the acts of hostility he had been of late concerned in, pointing out two of the soldiers he had wounded. He was threatened with death, fettered and thrown into a dungeon. But during the night he contrived to free himself from his irons, and to dig a hole through his prison wall, by which he got into the enclosure. This was surrounded by a wall, and clievaux-de frise, which he surmounted by grasping the points of iron in his hands, and thus making a footing, from which he leaped down upon the outer ground. Here he was en countered by two sentries ; but snatching up a billet of wood that fortunately lay at hand, he felled one of the soldiers to the ground with it, escaped from the other, and ran towards the Man. On the way, three Cossacks attacked him, whom he kept atbay with his billet, until he reached the river, and plunged into it. His trials were not yet at an end ; for some soldiers put off in a small boat in pursuit of him, nor would his diving have, in all probability, saved him, had he not succeeded in upsetting the boat. At length he reached the shore ; but finding himself in Psadiig—the people of which have made terms with the Russians—he was so fearful they would capture and deliver himself up, that he set off in the state of nakedness, to which he had been reduced in his scuffles, towards his home, which he succeeded in reaching in safety. THE RACER ECLIPSE.—AII the best six years old horses of the year having entered against Eclipse for the King's Plate at Newmarket, O'Kelly offered to take ten to one he posted them, which being betted to an immense amount, and the captain called upon to declare, he pronounced " Eclip se ! and nothing else,"—implying the rest to be " nowhere ; " which was really the case ; for the rider of Eclipse, having received private instructions to go off at score, double distanced the whole with the greatest ease, leaving himself without a com petitor. And we believe that this was the last time any horse was seen to start against him, as he afterwards walked over the different courses for the king's plates of the year, without a single opponent, and the year following entered the stud.— Whyte's History of the Turf. BENBOW, THE CHARTIST, IN 1818.—About this time a public meeting for reform was held at Birch, near Middleton, which was worthy of notice for one incident. It was moved and seconded, that petitions to the lords and commons should be p resented in the usual manner ; when William Benbow, who had lately returned from prison, made his way through the crowd, and mounting the waggon, urged the people, in a violent and irrational address, to march to London, and " present their petitions at the point of the sword and pike." He was loudly cheered, with expressions such as, "Ay, that's the way,"—" Go on, Benbow, That 's the man for us." At the same time he was pondering on a retreat from the country ; of that country which he was endeavouring to in jure by a course of violence. That very week, or the week following, he sailed from Liverpool to join Cobbett in Ame rica. When 1 afterwards met some of his applauders, and asked them what they thought of the man who could urge them to rush on destruction, and himself hasten away, they shook with indignation.—Banford's Passages in the Life of a Radical. BRITISH ASSOCIATION.—DISSOLUTION OF QUARTZ IN HOT WATER.-Mr. Jeffereys detailed an experiment he had made on a great scale, to decide the question whether silice ous matter could be dissolved largely by water, or, what is the same thing, by its vapour. This experiment formed the subject of a paper which was read some months ago before the Royal Society ; and by the experiment a solution of more than two hundred weight of silica was effected in steam, at a heat exceeding that of fused cast-iron. The steam was not under pressure, but was conducted into a large kiln, used for stone pottery. The silica was not only dissolved, but carried away in the vapour ; and some pounds weight of it were de posited, from the vapour, before it issued from the kiln, like a hoar frost, upon some articles in the kiln, where the tem perature was not above a red heat. An invention is in progress to supersede the necessity of using horse hair for stuffing chairs, sofas, &c. The substi tute, (for which a patent is taken out) is cork, cut into the minutest particles, which is found upon trial to be superior to horse hair in every respect, and the saving is considered to be about 200 per cent. An extensive factory is fast progress ing, and a large fortune appears likely to reward the inventor. FASHIONABLE RELIGION.—A French gentleman, equally tenacious of his character for gallantry and devotion, went to hear mass at the chapel of a favourite saint, at Paris. When he came there, he found repairs were doing in the building, which prevented the celebration. To show that he had not been defective in his duty and attentions, he pulled out a richly-decorated pocket-book, and walking with great gravity and many genuflexions np the aisle, very care fully placed a card of his name and address upon the princi pal altar. THE DUKE AND THE QUAKER.—His Grace (of Grafton) being fox-hunting near Newmarket, a Quaker, at some dis tance, upon an adjoining eminence, pulled off his hat, and gave a view hallo ! The hounds immediately ran to him, and being drawn off the scent were consequently at fault, which so enraged the duke, that, galloping up to the offen der, he asked, in an angry tone, " Are you a Quaker ?" " I am, friend," he replied. " Well, then," rejoined his grace, " as you never pull off your hat to a Christian, I will thank you in future not to pay that compliment to a Fox."—Bri tish Turf. MARIE ANTOINETTE,—The beautiful and unfortunate Marie Antoinette, lively as was her disposition, and fond as she was of gaiety, did not find either the duties or gaieties of .a court inconsistent with the labours of the needle. She was extremely fond of needlework, and during her happiest and gayest years was daily to be found at her embroidery frame. Her approach to this was a signal that other ladies might equally amuse themselves with their various occupa tions of embroidery, of knitting, or of untwisting—the pro fitable occupation of that day ; and which was so fashionable, such a " rage," that the ladies of the court hardly stirred anywhere without two little work-bags each—one filled with gold fringes, laces, tassels, or any golden trumpery they could pick up; the other to contain the gold they unravelled, which they sold to Jews.—The Art of Needlework, by the Countess of Wilton. ORIGIN OF SILK FOR DRESSES.-It was long before silk was in general use, even for patrician garments. It has been supposed that the famous Median vest, invented by Semira mis, was silken, which might account for its great fame in the west. Be this as it may, it was so very graceful, that the Medes adopted it after they had conquered Asia ; and the Persians followed their example. In the time of the Romans the price of silk was weight for weight with gold, and the first persons who brought silk into Europe were the Greeks of Alexander's army. Under Tiberius it was for bidden to be worn by men; and it is said that the Emperor Aurelian even refused the earnest request of his empress for a silken dress, on the plea of its extravagant cost.—The Art of Needlework, by the Countess of Wilton. CIRCASSIAN ORATORS AND AUDIENCES.-It rarely hap pens that any under the age of forty ever interfere in these debates ; and only with a tolerable sprinkling of gray hairs in the beard, announcing the matured wisdom of the tamatas, or elders, can the orator command attention. Should there be any individual fonder than others of hearing himself talk, they have a way of silencing bins peculiar to themselves ; they neither crow like cocks, nor bray like certain other animals in more civilized assemblies, but adopt a method for which the form and the roomy nature of their house of meet ing, al fresco, are most peculiarly adopted. The unfortunate orator, in such cases, is apt to find himself with no other audience than the neighbouring trees and bushes, the circle he had been addressing having rapidly dissolved and re-ad justed itself out of earshot, where it might be seen listening to somebody with better claims on its attention.—Loug worth's Year among the Circassians. , i , se N s v , h i o t i a s r a ri c v o e m s . THE SNAKE CHARMERS OF INDIA When a snake has m w o it n h en h s. t n io u n m s erous i custom to send for been th traced e s dn snake - catcher," c h a e t c P h r e e r m , baskets, containing live snakes of various descriptions, the uncouth musical instruments , with which he P enaCt n e n d the part of the " charmer,' to whom the cobra ca ella in this i case seldom " turneth a deaf ear ;" and, by whatever P means, he effects his object in a short time. After being lured from an it s ; hiding-place and deprived of its fangs, the snake is snugly deposited at the bottom of one of the round wicker baskets which he carries about with him, and which, when not called on in his professional capac it y , are displayed for the amuse ment of the spectator. The snake-catcher seats himself on the ground, surrounded by these little baskets, and begins to drone forth a melancholy monotonous tune on a sort of bagpipe. After a short time the covers of the baskets are removed, and display in each the scaly folds of a cobra capella compactly coiled up in the bottom,. and apparently intently listening to the music, if such it can be called. By degrees they appear to grow animated ; they gradually raise their heads, expand their hoods, and by a sor of nodding motion, seem to keep time to the music ; and it is fearful to behold the " charmer," surrounded on all sides by these terrific looking animals, and although in their present state perfectly harmless, from being divested of their fangs, a thrill of horror involuntarily creeps through the veins of the spectators.--Major Napier's Scenes and Sports in Foreign Lands.

HORTICULTURAL DISCOVERY.—The American aphis or bug, of late years, has proved very destructive to wall fruit, and particularly to our finest winter apple, the Ribston Pip pin. Mr. M'Hardy, gardener to John Grant, Esq., of Kil graston, having observed during the progress of this insect over the garden under his charge, the jargonelle pear uniformly escaped the infection, it occurred to him that by ingrafting the Ribston Pippin under the jargonelle stock, the influence by which the latter seemed to resist the attacks of the aphis might be imparted to the apple. This he accordingly tried three or four years ago, and the result has not only answered Mr. M'Hardy's expectations in regard to the health of the wood, but in the improvement of the fruit, both as to size and flavour. Specimens of the wood and fruit, from the infected tree, and from the engrafted one, are at present to be seen at Messrs. Dickson and Turnbull's here, and the remarkable contrast which they present, affords the most convincing evidence of the beneficial effect of the system, which the experience of three successive seasons has confirmed. Perth Courier. SAM SLICK'S SYSTEM OF PHRENOLOGY.—(From the forthcoming Series of the " Sayings and Doings of Sam Slick.")—When I enter a location, arter a little talk about this, that, or the other, I looks at one of the young grow'd up gals airnest like, till she says, " Mr. Slick, what on airth are you a-lookin' at ?" " Nothin," says I, "my dear, but a most remarkable developement." " A what ?" says she. " A remarkable developement," says I, " the most remark able, too, I ever seed since I was raised." " Why, what in gatur's that ?" says she. " Excuse me, Miss," says I, and I gets up, and puts my finger on her crown. " What bene volence !" says I, " and firmness of character ! did you ever ! —and then," says I, a passm' my finger over the eye-brow, " you ought to sing well positively; its your own fault if you don't, for you have uncommon petikilar powers that way. Your time is large, and tune great; yes, and competition is strong." Well, how strange !" says she ; " you have guessed right, for I do sing, and am allowed to have the best ear for music in all these clearin s. How on airth can you tell ? If that don't pass !"—" Tell," says I, " why it's what they call phrenology, and a most beautiful study it is. I can read a head as plain as a book ; and this I will say, a finer head than yourn I never did see, positively. What a splendid forehead you have ! it's a sight to behold. If you was to take pains you could do anything a'most. Would you like to have it read Miss ?" Well, arter hearing me pronounce aforehand at that rate, she is sure to want it read, and then I say, " I won't read it aloud, Miss ; whisper it in your ear, and you shall say if lam right." " Do," says she ; " I should like to see what mistakes you'll make, for I can't believe it possi ble you can tell ; it don't convene to reason, does it ?" No thin', squire, never stops a woman when her curiosity is once up, especially if she be curious to know somethin' about her self. Only hold a secret out in your hand to her, and it's like a bunch of catnip to a cat ; she'll jump and frisk, and frolic round you like anything, and never give over purrin' and coaxin' of you till she gets it. They'll do anything for you a'most for it. So I slides out my knee for a seat, and says " its no harm, Miss, you know ; for Ma is here, and I must look near to tell you ;" so I draws her on my knee, without waiting for an answer. Then gradually one arm goes round the waist, and t'other hand goes to the head, liumpo• logizin', and I whispers—" wit, paintin', judgment, fancy, order, music, and every good thing a'most." And she keeps a-sayin,'—" Well, he's a witch ! well, how strange ! lawful heart ! Well I want to know !—now I never !—do tell !" as pleased all the time as anything. Lord ! squire, you never see anything like it; it's Jerusalem fine fun. Well, then, I wind up by touchin' the back of her head hard, (you know, squire, what they call the amative bumps are located there), and then whisper a bit of a joke to her about her makin' a very very loviu' wife, and soon, and she jumps up a-colour in', and a-saying' " it's no such a thing. You missed that guess, any how. Take that for not guessin' better!" an d pretendin to slap me, and all that ; but actilly ready to jump over the moon for delight. Don't my clocks get fust admired and then boughten arter this readin' of heads, that's all? Yes ; that's the beauty of phrenology. You can put a clock into their heads when you are a puttin' other fine things in, too, as easy as kiss my hand. I have sold a nation lot of them by it. The only thing ag'in phrenology is, it's a little bit dangerous. It's only fit for an old hand like me, that's up to trap, for a raw one is amazin' apt to get spooney. Taking a gall on your knee, that way, with one hand on her heart, that goes pitty-pat, like a watch tickin,' and the other a-roving about her head a-discovering bumbs, is plaguy apt to make a fool of you without your knowing of it. SALT AS A. MAN URE.—SaIt certainly sweetens the grass much ; and it may, on all su c h occasions, be mixed with a proper quantity of dung, which is more sulphurous than salt, and will make grass shoot away much faster than any other manure. Lime in it s own na ture makes grass sour , but when mixed with salt that acidity will be taken away.— As to the proportion of salt to be used on land, it ought to be according to the nature of it ; cold, wet, clayey land re quiring more ; and loose, soft land, though it be poor, re quiring less. Again, the proportion of salt ought to be either more or less, according t o t h e crops o f grass or grain y ou wouldimprove. For cold, wet, and spewy land, three loads of dung, six of earth, and eight bushels of salt per acre. For lean, hungry, sandy land, fourteen loads of pond earth, six loads of dung, and six bushels of salt per acre, when em ployed for corn or grazing. For meadow land, fourteen or fifteen loads of dung, five bushels of salt, and four of pond earth. In deep, loamy, dry earth, upon which wheat has grown, after the crop is got in, the land should be ploughed, and lie in that state until the spring, when it must be cross ploughed and wrought fine with the harrow, and planted with potatoes ; as soon as the potatoes are covered with earth, then sow or spread sixteen bushels of salt per statute acre upon them ; and when they are dug up in the autumn, then sow a crop of wheat again, takingcFe to pick all the i potatoes clean out, that they may not injure the wheat in the following spring by growing up amongst it. By this method of cultivation, a crop of wheat and another of pota toes may be produced alternately on the same ground for ever, instead of losing a whole year's produce, according to the old custom, while the land is fallowing. For other corn lands sown in the usual way, after a spring ploughing, the best method will be to sow sixteen bushels of salt per acre, immediately after the grain is covered in by the harrow : this, by meliorating the soil, destroying weeds and insects, and attracting moisture, will produce an abundant crop ; and sowing ten bushels per acre annually, these lands will ever after be exceedingly productive. TIGHT LACING.—The highest mortality of English wo men by consumption may be ascribed partly to the in-door life which they lead, and partly to the compression, pre venting the expansion of the chest, by cos t ume. I n b oth ways the lungs are deprived of a free draught of vital air, and the altered blood deposits tuberculous matter with a fatal facility. Thirty-one thousand and ninety English women had died in one year (the year ending June 30, 1839) of the incurable malady ! Will not this impressive fact in duce persons of rank and influence to set their countrywomen right in the article of dress, and lead them to abandon a practice which disfigures the body, s t rang l es the chest, pro duces nervous or other disorders, and has an unquestionable tendency to implant an incurable hectic malady in the frame ? Girls have no more need of artificial bones and bandages than boys.—Appendix to the Second Annual Report of the Registrar-General of Births, Deaths, and Marriages. BRIDAL FEELINGS.—The entire change of character ef fected by the ceremony . which had so recently been per formed, the entire alteration of the duties of life produced by that sacred rite, vast futurity opening to her view, so differ ent in its nature from the days that were passed; the entire surrender of herself to an authority which the day before she did not acknowledge, and the abandonment to a certain ex tent, of that exclugye obedience which a few hours previ ously she implicitly yielded to her father ; the whole combi nation of circumstances, the balance between perfect happi ness and something less than happiness, the apprehension, the doubt, the dread, the joy, the sorrow—for they all mingle in the heart of a bride at the moment when she hears the carriage-door close upon herself and her husband, and finds herself, for the first time in her life, confided to the care, the protection, and the love of an alien to her blood—Helen deeply and intensely felt; and the pang which rent her heart as she received her fond fathe r ' s part i ng ki ss, t h e l ast of those kisses of devoted aff ec t i on which were hers while she alone was all his care, and while she had none other to look at or to love but him, was one of the bitterest she had ever endured. It seemed like the tearing' asunder of a thousand ties, the abandonment. of . home, and a ll i ts assoc i a ti ons .— Theodore Hook's " B irt h s, Deaths, and Marriages!' GINGER.—The ginger of commerce is the under-ground otcm (rhizoma) of the Zing:her Officinam, which is said to be a native of the East Indies, and to derive its name from, and abound in, the mountainous district of Ginyi, to the east of Pondicherry. It is cultivated all over the tropics of Asia and America. The herbaceous parts of the plant wither in December ; the rhizomes are dug up i n January ; b u t w h en . it is intended to be preserved surup it is dug up when the shoots do not exceed five or six inches in height. For pre paring the dried ginger, .the best pieces are selected, scraped, then washed, and dried in the sun with great care. This is called white ginger, in contradistincti on to wh i ch, t h e rhi zomes, which are scalded in boiling wa t er b efore b e i ng d r i e d , are denominated black ginger. The confected or preserved ginger is prepared by scalding the green r hi zomes t i ll t h ey a re tender, then peeling them in cold water, and putting them into a thin syrup, from which, in a few days, they are shifted into the jars. in which they come home, and a very rich syrup poured over them, which is sometimes three or four times renewed. In Jamaica the shifted syrup is diluted with water, and fermented into a pleasant liquor.—Brande's Pharmacy. Mr. CHARLES DICKENS.—Mr. Dickens is by far the most successful author of modern times. He rose into po pularity with an unprecedented rapidity, and has made more money by his writings for the last few years, than any two authors that could be named. We believe that we are under rather than above the mark, when we say, that during the last few years the annual produce of his pen has averaged £3,500. Mr. Dicke ns i s s li g htly above the ordinary height, and possesses a well-proportioned figure. He is a fine-look ing man, not quite so full in the face as he appears in the two portraits of him which have been published. His face par ! takes somewhat o f t h e angu l ar f orm . His complexion is slightly tinged with pa l eness , and the expression of his coun tenance has a da s h o f t h e p ens ive in it. His hair is black, abundant and flowing; he always wears it very long. He is reserved in reality as we ll as i n appeara nce, in mixed society. He has not yet passed his thirtieth year ; a singular fact con sidering the reputation he had acquired, and the triumphs he had acquired in the field of literature. — Grant's London Journal. DIAMOND - CUT-DIAMOND.—Some years ago, during the heat of a coffee speculation in Boston, when every body was holding on, waiting for the article to advance, an old mer chant, keen as a raz or , w h ose store wa s packed from the first to the fourth floor with prime Green Rio, concluded from signs which he well understood that prices had reached their acme. He was too old a hand at the: bellows not to know that the moment he, with his immense stock, began to sell, an alarm wovld be taken, and down would go the prices. Quietly sending off a pretty stiff invoice of the article to auc tion, and giving the auctioneer a good humoured hint to mind his business, attended the sales, and bid readily, and at pre vailing prices for the coffee. Other holders, who knew that he had about four times as much on hand as they had, con cluded that it was safe to buy when he did, and so stood up manfully and bought largely. When old Mr. —'s cartmen were tumbling his purchases into the front door of his ware house, five times as many were carrying coffee away from the back door. On the next day of sale he bid as freely as ever, and this continued f or some two or three weeks. One day he failed to appear at a coffee sale, and most of the holders took the alarm, and prices declined a little. During the after noon a pretty large holder, who had always been ready to buy when he saw Mr. - - w illi ng, met him in the street, and asked the rate of coffee. " I don't know what it's going at to-day," replied the old fellow, as cool and as pleasant as an ice-cream. "It declined a little this morning." " Did it ?" res p onded Mr. --, with what seemed to his fellow-trades man a strange manifestation of indifference. "Yes, certainly, havn't you heard it before ?" "No ; I expected as much." " Why, we shall all be ruined if the prices go down !" " Not all, I presume," replied M r . —, with unmoved counte nance." " Why, you 're deeper into it than any of us , " " Me !" e xclaimed M r . __, in well feigned astonishment, " Why, I hay 'nt a b ag i n my s tore ! " The next day the bubble burst, and h a lf- a -d ozen speculators, who had been a month or two dreaming nightly over their golden gains were ruined.—New York Sillnat. VESSELS ENTERED FOR LOADING.

(From the Circular of Messrs. James Seott Sore.) During the past week the import of Flour from Canada has been to a fair extent, but from Ireland and Coastways the supplies of Grain have been very moderate, and the demand has been very steady at fully our last quotations for Wheat, of which superior qualities have obtained a small advance ;—in all other articles there has been little alteration here or in our country markets. The duty on Wheat from Foreign Ports has increased since Fri day last to 28s Sd per qr., on Flour to 14s lid per brl., and is Is 6d per qr. more on Oats and Beans ; on other Gram no alteration ; there has not been much doing in bonded Wheat and Flour ;—a parcel of Odessa Wheat in bond is reported to have been forced off at as per 701bs, and of New York Flour at 23s per barrel, but pur chases cannot now be made on such terms ; 25s 6d to 263 has been offered for the superior qualities of the latter, and 6s per 701bs for the fine American and Baltic Wheats, and refused, we therefore repeat our last quotations, though almost nominal; duty has been paid on about 8000 qrs. of Wheat during the past month, but nearly the whole of the recent imports of this article, and of Flour from Foreign Ports, and a large portion of the Flour from Canada, is going into bond for the present. At this day's market sales were effected to a moderate extent of fine Wheat and Oats at a small advance; for all other articles the demand was very limited at about our last quotations, WIIRAT, per 701bs a. d. s. d.
