It is brought out in Ore same form, but . consider ably improved in many respect*, as the. former work by, the same author, entitled ``Switzeriand Illustrated", In the present number, in addition to the vigrAtte,-which is a beatitiful view of the pass, of tlra Trosa,clv,,Ve are pre sented with four spirited and highly-finished engravings, —lst.

Fall of the Clyde: The historical 'notices are written with great succinctness, and the 'letter-pre ss is highly creditable to Clay. It is certainly the cheapest, the•most complete and beautiful work of the kind which has yet been presented:to the public. The 1 Young Governeas Friend. By a Lady.

Dreams of Liberty. By a modern Trobadour. Liver pool : printed for the author. 'This is a small. parcel of rhymes about " liberty" and the'" reform bill," which we. are assured was written by Sampson, of the rail-road, on the Ist April last, he being much excited; and the steam up to sixty miles an hour. It does the poet much credit, and we hope to hear the "hymn to fteedom" chaunted along the rails for many a day. :The .piecit _entitled " Song of the People," is tre mendously magnificent, and therefore it will be difficult, if not impossible ; for the " people" to do it justice.

TRIUMPH OF THE CONSERVATIVE CAUSE IN INVERNESS SHIRE.—This has been a keenly contested election—the radicals andultra-liberal party forced to the poll every man they could influence or drag to it. The,rnost &institutional means were used, and the displeasure and vengeance of. the Government even 'threatened against private individuals, should they support Chisholm, Un fortunately for the Conservatives,.many of their number were unavoidably *absent, and not a few were prevented from attending by sickness... Notwithstanding; however, of this, Chisholm of Chisholm, the Conservative.candi datar.has defeated his opponent, Mr Grant of Glenmor riston, who appeared under the support of the present Whig-Radical Government (and indeed backed by the persuading weight of the Privy . Purse), by a majority of flu less.than 281 Besides those undue and illegal influences, the agent of the Bank of Scotland in Inverness 'canvassed publicly, and .openly. He attended the tneetings,of Glemnorris, ton's committee, and accompanied that gentleman .and 4 his friends in their excursions. In short, .he was a.,most aelii , e agent. The a g ent for the. National Bank at Fort William is the:raditial political agent of that district,. and in the present contest, as well as on , former occasions, threatened and cajoled as he best could. How the bosi oess of those establishments is carried on, while the are days and weeks absent, it will be difficult to explain. But the electors of Inverness have a right to Complain— and-rdo complain—that the directors should allow, the in fluence naturally attaching to such institutions to be pro stituted to such improper ends. Glentuorristori, in addition to .the support of Mr C. Grant and his friends, and the influence alluded to; had many other advantages; for instance, hislviell merited popularity as a country gentleman—his beneyOlence, af fability—and numerous connections in theatipnty, &c. It is consequently clear that. he polled many More .than Mr C. Grant, or indeed any other person, OW have done upon the same side. In order to show that in Inverness-shire there bas.been., a great re-action, we have subjoined a state of the poll the last three elections for the comity, from which it will be seen that in December 1832, the majority for Mr Grant was forty-seven ; in January last his majority dwindled to 7, while now the majority for the conservatives is 28.

The above announcement of the signal triumph of the conservative- cause in Inverness-shire, emanating from the Chisholm's committee, has been received by post ; and a. most satisfactory document; establishing as it does the- gradual but certain and now triumphant march of conservatism in. that county,. and we have no doubt also in the neighbouring counties. We cannot avoid alluding to the direct charges made against some of the bank agents in the district,•particti, larly that of the Bank of Scotland. We can tell the di rectors of that institution thatit . is not enough for them to say that they issued contrary instructions to their agent, they must 'see these instructions complied, with, and if they fail, the proprietary have a just right to com plain that their own resources shoUld, at the caprice of atir agent, be turned into a political engine against them. No one, we believe, will deny that the great majority of that proprietary are conservatives. They do not call for interference in favour of their cause, but they are entitled to. see—nay they will insist .that it , shall not be used against it. That the agency at Inverness has been used e a powerful engine in favour of the radical party in this and the adjoinhig•county of Ross, and in the Inverness ' burghs, has been again and again loudly complained of. We admire the ingenuity of the _lnverness Courier in discovering that this signal triumph is to be attributed to relationship, &c. We deny it. Could this cause have produced a change in the Inverness district alone of 57 votes—a .district in which no particular party influence prev.ails ?. .We can tell the Courier, and we proclaim it to the country, that it arrows almost entirely from a change in public opinion. Mr C. Grant knew this, well before he "took ,refuge" in the House of Peers, and we know that no sooner was his vote ,on the Speakei:ship known in the capital in the north, than he received unequivocal proofs that he rieederrnot to come back again to ask the spffrages of the electors—having, as they ; thought and ex pressed; broken the pledges given by 'him to allow the Peel administration a fair trial. We may revert to this subject next week. In the meantime we congratulate Scotland and the country in general on this signal victory. —Edinburgh Evening Post. The characters of the leaders of the two parties in the House of Commons have been brought into comparison last week in a manner which the friends of Lord John Russell.may justly designate: as odious. Sir Robert Peet stands forward as the champion of all that is honourable —Lord John. Russell as the incarnation of all that ismean. Truth dwells upon the lips of Sir Robert—those of Lord John appear never to open but to let forth a falsehood. The son of the cotton-spinner, and the son of the duke, have changed the characters which we should have been inclined to have given as those most appropriate to the representatives of long-descended aristocracy, and of sud denly-acquired wealth. Shabby Russell—noble -Peel— are in everybody's month. The supporter of the gentle men of England, no matter what may be his original condition of descent, may look with the profundity of dis dain on the hack agent of the blackguards of Ireland, in whatever circle that agent may be discovered. Of the past week the great event has been the speech of Sir Robert Peel at Merchant Tailors' H ;1 11. Of i ts eloquence, or any other graces of style and composition, we shall be silent. - Practical men we have always pro fussed ourselve3 to be—and to the body. of what is said, rot to how it is said, shall we ever address ourselves. In the spezeli then of Sir Robert we find that be (for the first time since:the unhappy: Clay when it.entered into the head of Lord Liverpool to construct a divided cabinet—a ca binet divided on a question admitted by all parties, whether hostile or favourable, to be of the most vital im portance) has put the position of the tory or conservative! interest in its fair light. He tias cast aside all distraCting and distmiting topics; and 'soaring above the small con siderations of party, loOked upon the influence whibli the great body of all that renders England honoured or. re spectable at home or abroad,. ought of right to demand "in its native country: It was with him no question of fac • tious ascendancy—no desire of holding office, or of seek- . ing it—no shabby motive cannected,with so many thous-, ands a year to be pocketed by this or that class of hungry, politicians. No—he .considered the posture ,of the aris tocracy and the mitldle'classes of England as they mainly conduce to the Well-being of all the people; and he called , upon thern: to :fulfil their s duty, because it . k a duty. , While .Sir Robert, in ,a hasty ,speech,- delivered after dinner, .was th us laying downdoctrines of universal ap plication, 'in language 'worthy, of -eternal memory, the worthy peerling, by whose resolutions *the late premier' was deprivecrof ofgce; was wriggling about like a reptile to aqueeielihriself into any of 'the dirtiest created for the refuge of those . who : dare not face independent constituencies, by the dirtiest .of means. It would be indeed'a pleasant work so contrast the occupations of Lord John Russell and Sir R o b er t P ee l 6n MOnday even ing last+-the tory, the friend of darkness, the enemy of freedom, the patron of corruption, and so forth, openly coming forward to avow his sentiments before an assembly, of men whose wealth, to say nothing of other considera tions, rendered them wholly independent of the favours of any governrrient, whig, tory, or radical = and Lord *John: Russell, the whig, the reformer .theliberal, the father of the bill, and the s on of th e Duke of Bedford, occupied-in. sneaking over to Stroud under the mantle of night and the cloak of Colonel Fox. The tory ex-minister stimulating,' 'by all the pdwers of his reasoning, his hearers, to all appeal to the largest constituencies of the empire—the whig looking with anxious eye for the smallest and the paltriest he could find. The tory inculcating upon his I huzzaing audience the propriety of acquiescing in the reform bill, and endeavouring "to carry out" its pro visions to, the utmost that they could. in compliance with their literal meaning, and the sa&-ly of the constitution the whig, - in his hole-and-corner 'conclave, eating up with worse than Saturnian maw, the joints of his own mangled offspring, and virtually declaring, that no matter what may have become of schedule A, yet so long, as a Lord . John Russell is to be found; so long there is to be no want, of rotten-boroughmongering. • Such then is; without going into further particulars, the outline of the contrast presented by, the leaders - of the whig and tory parties during the last week. Even the whigs admit that Lord John 'is unfortunate in his com pelled choice of . a borough ; and rather unlucky in that want of veracity which gains no grace:by, perpetual itera tion ; .but they say, Any thing is better than a tory. We must keep Lord John in powerhe is a small creature, we admitnobody can depend upon a word he says—he has quite nullified himself (as the Yankees have in the Stroud affair; but what can we do? We shall tell them. Make no more pretences about it. You have.got into all these scrapes by an idle endeavour Of,concealing the fact. Lord John Russell is not your head—Lord Melbourne is not your head—the people of England are - not 'your supporters—you do not lose your seats or gain your seats by virtue of the part you have taken in the .English'reform bill. Delude not yourselves on the subject. Tell us the truth at once, without any more of the John. Russell touches of Mendacity about it. Say honestly and fairly that you are the slaves of O'Con• - - nell = thai. you are, not an English party at all—that you have not one Protestant feeling about youi whether church of England, or orthodox Dissenter—that you are ready to rob the-Establishment, or to revile the " Swaddler," according as the real dictator commands—that as the hap piness, honour, and integrity of the EngliSh empire, are incompatible with the designs of.,.your master, you are ready, without another word, to throw them overboard; and having said this, you will have at least the merit of being intelligible in your line of policy. At present you are fighting under false colours, and CoMpelled-perpeto. ally, as in the case of John RUssell, to show false papers, and to live in a constant course of forgery and fraud. Believe us, the other way of doing business is far more honourable. • • - Commend us, for instance, to the honest carpenters of Dublin, who sported "Repeal of the Uniou" . on the ban . - nerS with willed they greeted their novel. Lord Lieutenant: It was much fairer than the pretences ofloyalty , with Which the less ,candid saluted. that'unhappy slave in the Chariot. Com mend us again to the constituents who gave the breaking-up of the empire as a gratifying toast to their new member, the Papist Solicitor-General selected by the whigs ; and much praised be Jerry O'Loghlin. for cheering it. Mulgrave and O'Loghlin did quite right— they knew their duty ; one as a servant of the Popisb ascendancy in Ireland, the other as a member of the body. When the time comes—as come it will---7we .shall know how to deal with those folks. • In the meantime, we re spect them far more than we do those wretched abortions, who pretend that they are ruining the church for the purpose of dOing it good; and undermining the monarchy to make its foundations the surer. To get back to trifles—to conclude the tragedy of our last sentences with a farce—it is pleasant to reflect how completely Lord John Russell is done. Let Stroud re turn him or not, Rotteriboiough Johnny has not three "months longer life as a statesman.—Age. The rumours we alluded to last week respecting Lord John Russell's destination have proved true. This boasted place of independence, where the 'vain babblers about liberty have preached more loudly than in any spot in the kingdom, has at length become a whig- govern ment borough. Colonel Fox, who was by mere accident brought here by a little junto of a few individuals, three or four months ago, has now resigned his seat, at the bidding of the same little junto, for the express purpose of enabling Lord John Russell to obtain a place in par liament, to facilitate his attacks on the institutions of our country; and his Lord Johnship was on Tuesday last' accepted by the self-styled liberal party.as their candidate.: These are the doings of the same little junto, who, to gratify the Honourable Henry Moreton, induced Mr.' Tracy Leigh, by vain misrepresentations, to incur an' immense expense in his fruitless contest with Mr. Cod rington •' and when they might have returned him soon afterwards, at the last general election, without any con test, on the Honourable Henry's retiring from public life, with his blushing honours thick upon him, they discarded him to gratify the same Henry Moreton by returning his brother, the Honourable Augustus, who, in effect, was expelled from the western division. The conserva tives commenced a slight canvass in opposition to Lord John; but finding that their chance of success was doubt ful, havino• been too late in the field, it was abandoned: This, we ttink, is to be regretted; as, had they persevered, •it is impossible to calculate what might have been the effect produced on the minds of the independent portion of ;the constituency by the degrading conduct . of the whig party. We understand Mr. Ricardo declared his determined opposition to Lord John, and commenced an ,active and successful Canvass against him, and that several wing gentlemen, of constitutional principles,. 'have stood aloof, and will give him no support. The candidate whom the conservatives' proposed bringing forward was, we are told, Mr. Midmay, a' partner in the house of Baring and CO., and a connexion of the family, and we have heard, though a conservative, of whig principles. The . conservative party have done itself credit by the spirit it has shewn, and the judgment it has ,evinced in the selection of a candidate; and we have little doubt, that on a. future occasion nothing, can -prevent their securing his return. They have selected for their candidate a gentleman Of enlightened views in trade and commerce, and of sound constitutional princi ples., who is S connected with the first mercantile hou se i n ,England—perhaps in the world: a house, too, concerned in its transactions with the manufacturers of this district to a very ednstderable - extent. What a contrast to - the choice of their opponents ! Did they imagine that their looms and mash-tubs would be put into more rapid mo tion by the polite deportment of a -Colonel Foiy or the vain and factious spirit of . a Lord John Russell ? both of whom have been rejected 'by their former- constituencies ; the latter, twice by-. populous counties, - and • once by an ;ancient city, notwithstanding his having, in each of them, ,an influence froth 'wealth and rank greater than any other candidate could possess. Thui repudiated by the opinion of constituencies, amounting iri the aggregate to nearly half a million, as an unfit person to be entrusted with the protection of their rights and privileges, he has found a temporary. refuge in the vales of -Gotham.—Gloucester shire Chronicle. THE ENGLISH IN HAMBURGH. • To the Edit or o f the Morning Herald. . Hamburgh, May 5. My dear Herald;--Steam for ever ! Huriah! On Sa turday last, early - in the morning,' I was still leisurely :perambulating the smoky alleys of our everlasting me- Aropolis, and on Monday at nine a.m.; I was yet more leisfirely discussing my breakfast here at the' Hotel de .Russie. Think of that, my lad ! In forty-eiht hours 'from Wapping stairs t o th e J ung f ernst i eg . Boes'nt it bate the world ? as our friend O'Brien used to say. How 'would our old dads have stared twenty years ago, if a' witch had talked to them of going by sea in a dead calm 'from London to Hamburgh in less time than it cost them to go to Birmingham ? Yet so it is; a cockney may now start. on Saturday morning from the Tower stairs, reach Hamburgh on Monday morning, have the day before him to look about himself, jump into the Berlin Diligence.' the same evening, and take his coffee and egg in, the ca.- ; pital of his Prussian majesty on Wednesday morning. On Wednesday evening, he may, if bent on making an expeditious tour, jump into the Diligence again for Ham burgh, where 'he will arrive on Friday morning, and have another day hefore him to take a flying look at the environs; 'early on Saturday he, may ship his pretty per son fur. re-importation, and quietly perch himself at his etninting house desk at eight or nine o'crock.on the fol lowing Monday morning, afterlian abienae ollittle more than a week. Our passage was a delightful one, and really a pru - dent man could scarcely wish to trust so valuable a cargo as his own flesh, and blood on board of a prettier piece of craft than the John Bull steatiter. The Kentuckian's boat, •that ran up a cateract, and, jumped all the snags and quicksands, was a fool to it. For my own part would have preferred a rougher passage. 1 never enjoy. a steamer so much as when she is going 'against a smart head wind, with a plentiful shower bath of salt water, flying from stem to stern every two or three minutes; then it is that the steamer is all y in her glsry, and seems to chuckle over.the poor helpless sailing craft that have. been lying wind-bound in the port for weeks together, and whom on her return she expects ,to find just as snug' as 8110 left them. What cares'a steamer for a head wind' or a lee shore ? The one but;slightly impedes her course, and the other inspires no .fear. In anything, short of a hurricane she goes to sea with the same punctuality with, which the Bristol mail starts from Piccadilly, and if on hey way she happen to overtake a stortn, she runs into .the nearest port.. ; Also her Punctuality, in arriving is oearly, as great as in her departure ; for a merchant here tells the that, by observing the time of high water, tie can generally tell within an hoar-when the steamer may be expected, and nine times in ten he guesses rightly. As I.mean to make some, stay here, I shall .reserve my notices of the place for my next "esteemed favour;" at present my head's so full of steam that I can talk or think of nothing else, 'so I shall confine myself to-day to an account of the steam navigation of this part of the world. Steamers, it appears, start from London to Hansbugh every Wednesday and Saturday morning, but at so early an hour that it is generally more convenient to go on board the evening -before; they g ene r a lly, ar rive in Hambu rg h .early on Friday or .11.Ionday morning,-:and start again for, London on the same days of the week on which they start for Hamburgh. The advantage of.this regular com munication to the merchants is incalculable. lite mere saving of postage must alone be an important consider ation. Formerly, it seems, when-the- mails were con-. _veyed from Harwich to Cuxhaven by sailing vessels, ten, twelve, and, on one occasion, as many as fifteen mails have been due at once, so that merchants were always •obliged to send duplicate copies of all important letters or .documents Overland 'tinting!' Holland, that in case the mail . should be delayed by contrary winds, a copy of the correspondence might at .least reach its destination in eight days. Sometimes a third copy of the letter has; been sent over to Calais, to guard against the' danger of the packet not being able to make the Dutcl coast. All this is now at an end; the quickness and punbtuality with which the mails are forwarded by steam entirely relieve the merchant from the necessity of sending duplicates of his correspondence over Holland; and though in cases of great importance this is still done by way of extreme caution, yet I have been assured that only one instance has occurred within the last two years of the regular mail being anticipated by the mail over Holland. The vessels are really " splendid specimens of naval architec ture," according to the received style of newspaper•elo.- quence ; the John Bull and the City of Hanaburgh more particularly are worth looking at • as mere matters of cu riosity, if you cannot find leisure to. do as I have done and put their mettle to the proof by an actual ethbarka-, Con. , For summer tourists these boats offer delightful facili ties. About thirty-five English miles from Hamburgh is Lubeck, from which place there are steam boats starting on regular days for St. Petersbtirgh, Copenhagen, &c. From Copenhagen you have steamers again to Norway and Sweden; and from Gottenburgh, in Sweden, you, have a steam-boat once a week to Hull. From Ham burgh also we have a French steamer to Havre-de-Grace once a week, and regular steamers to Hull and Goole. But steam does not stop here. '.. All the world of , •this place, I find, are quite alive about a scheme for connect ing Hamburgh with Hanover and Brunswick by means of a rail-road. The only difficulty in the way °Nile un dertaking appears to be a jealousy existing between the merchants of this city and,those of the little Hanoverian town of Harburg, on the other side of the Elbe. The latter seem to have got it into their foolish heads that if they can make the rail-road terminate in their own town, they will be able to draw off part of the trade of Ham burgh ; and for the sake of this contingent gain, which after all is a very problematic one, they are apparently inclined to sacrifice the incalculable advantage of being brought into immediate communication with this wealthy and improving city. It is not easy to say how far the folly of 'greedy people will sometimes carry them, but still I can scarcely, think that the Hanoverian govern ment.will throw away the present opportunity, an Eng lish' company having offered to find the capital, if the go vernment will grant the necessary permission, on condi tion, however, that the rail-road shall be extended to Hamburg!), by means of a bridge across the Elbe. THE TRAVELLER. CHARITY SERMON.—The sermon advertised to :be preached at -StEMichael's on Sunday last, in .aid of the. fund.s• of the Northern Dispensary, was postponed in consequence of the in disposition of the Rev. Mr. Berry. We understand that the reverend gentleman is expected to be enabled to resume his du ties in a day or two, and that the sermon will be preached on Sunday week; the 31st instant. EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE OF CONVICTS.—OD Monday last, a most daring and successful attempt at escape wasmade by six convicts while being conveyed to Portsmouth to be placed on board a convict ship. Mr. Hardy, the gaoler of Ilchester gaol, his son, and two guards, were proceeding with the van contain ing 14 convicts, and when they arrived near Southampton, the guards were surprised to see six of the convicts running across the fields without their irons. The guards had not the slightest reason to suspect that the convicts intended to make an at tempt at escape. The convicts were immediately pursued, and three of them were secured, but the other three succeeded in get ting clear off. Upon examination, it appeared that the prisoners had sawed off their irons, but how this could have been done at present remains a mystery. After having got rid of their irons, they proceeded to cut a hole through the bottom of the van, it is supposed by means of watch-spring saws. The convicts dropped through this hole on the ground, and let the van pass over them, and then made their way to the fields. A more daring and successful attempt is not, perhaps, on.record. SIR JAMES GRAHAM AND THE CHURCH.--At the anni .versary dinner of that excellent charity of ."The Sons of the 'Clergy," last week, upon the health of the Stewards being drunk, Sir James Graham as one of the Stewards, rose to return thanks. He was received with loud and long continued cheers. He most sincerely thanked them for the unmerited honour now conferred upon him. There was no man more sincerely attached at heart than he was to the reformed reli gion and to the institutions connected with it, more especially to' this institution. He was under great obligations to the established church and the present was a crisis in which he ought to acknowledge it. (Cheers.) In the doctrines of that church he was brought up. From them he derived consolation and comfort; they afforded a sure refuge in the calamities of this life, while they enconraged and sustained the hopes of a better. (Cheers.) Nothing could be more gratifying to him than the approbation with which the expression of these sen timents was now received. They owed the deepest obligation to those men who instructed them in the doctrines calculated to confer such invaluable benefits on society, 'and it was their duty to take care that their children were not left destitute. People talked of a. surplus in these times. (Cheers.) This in stitution was itself a proof that there were deficiencies, 'for which kindness andcharity called upon them to make up; and that, so far from there being a surplus, there was need of relief. Whether in a public or in a private station lie should be ready to utter these sentiments; and he believed he spoke the sen timents not of England alone, but of a majoriry of the united empire. (Cheers.) I n hi s pl ace i n parliament . , he should ever feel it to .be his duty to protect the protestant clergy of these realms in all their rights, privileges, and immunities. (Cheers,) 'He was struck by a passage in the Psalms read that morning, as applicable to the present purpose:—" Dwell in the land, and be doing good, and verily by this shalt thou be fed." (Cheers.) He must repeat again, as one of the stewards, his ,gratitude for the manner in which the toast was received. (Cheers.) 01.13.EisGsisii HOSPITALITY.—In the olden time it was cus tomary for every family in England to have a complete code of economic laws; the most minute attention was paid to the most 'inconsiderable domestic expense, and the formal stated orders established with regard to many particulars Were precise- in the extreme. The Northumberland Housekeeper's Book, 1512, is a very curious specimen of such a system of ancient economics, in fifty chapters, and four hundred' and sixty-four closely printed .Bvo. pages; this curious and scarce book is one of the most singular and exact accounts of ancient - manners that English antiquity affords us. The earl's family consistedof one hundred 'and sixty-six persons, masters and servants, and fifty-seven strangers were expected every day—in the whole, two hundred 'and twenty-three. Two-pence half-penny was reckoned to be 'the daily expense oreach for meat, drink, and firing; and one thousand pounds the annual expense of housekeeping—wheat being then five shillings and eightpence per quarter. This 'earl's domestic concerns were managed with such extreme ex actness, and such rigid economy, that the number df pieces which must be cutout of every quarter of beef, 'tuition, &c., are determined, and must, be entered and accounted for by the clerks appointed for that purpose ; .so there cannot be anything more erroneous than the magnificent ideas many people have of the unbounded liberality of "old English hospitality." It may amuse the reader to relate a specimen of the pompous and even royal state assumed by this feudal chieftain ; he does not give an order for the making of mustard. of which it is stated that the annual allowance was one hundred and sixty-gallons, but it is introduced with the following preamble : " It seenieth Good to us, and our Council," &c.—Kitehiner's Household Ledger. THE SABBATH.—We may have seen men high in honour, and earning . by their integrity the rewards of an unsullied repu tation amongst their fellow-citizens, carrying a visible contempt for the Sabbath law, throughout the whole line of their Sab bath history—hut all the truth and all the justice of these men are such constitutional virtues as may exist in a character which owns not and feels not the power of godliness--and sure we are, that, wanting this power, several of the other command ments can be specified, to which they are as utter str a n gers as to the commandment of the seventh .day. We repeat it, there fore, that if you grant us a man who bears about with him in his bosons a warm and conscientious attachment to all the articles of the decalogue but this one, before we look at him we say with confidence, that search him, and both in his heart and' in his practice, this one is to be found—and that we shall not fail to meet the Sabbath law as firmly established as any other, within the secrecies of his bosom, and standing out as conspicu ously on the front of his external observations. We never, in the whole course of our recollections, met with a christian friend who.bore upon his character every other evidence of the spirit's operation, who did snot remember the Sabbath day, and keep it holy; We appeal to the memory of all the worthies who are now 1 3 ing in their graves, that,' eminent as they were in every other grace and accomplishment of the new creature, the religiousness of their Sabbath-day shone with an equal lustre amid the fine assemblage of virtues which adorned them. In every christian household it will be found, that the discipline of a well-ordered sabbath is never forgotten among the other lessons of -a christian education. And we appeal to every indi vidual who now hears us, and who carries die remembrance in his bosom of a father's piety, if, on the coming round of the seventh day, , ,an air of peculiar sacredness did not spread itself over that mansion where he first drew his breath, and was taught 1 In repeat his infant hymn, and lisp his infant prayer. Rest assured, that a christian, having the love of God written in his heart, and denying the sabbath a place in his affections, is as anomaly that is no where to be found.—Dr. Chalmers.

(From the Norfolk Chronicle of Saturday.) PUBLIC DINNER IN ST. ANDREW'S HALL, TO CELEBRATE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF -THE EAST NORFOLK :CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION. --• The;diuner. at. St. Andrew's Hall, which took;place yesterday' in honour of the establishment above named, may• well.be de nominated " A Grand Political Festival," for it proved.so.in the most important acceptation of the term. Taking it indeed for all in all, we recollect ng similar assemblage within the limits of our locality and scope of our personal obseryation wherewith, for one moment to compare it.. Pre-eminently distinguished: by.rank and property, by numbers and respectability —most ,happy in the elTectivo presidency and vigorous,exertions of its. ,noble chairman—highly interesting from the eloquence which' graced the addresses of many of the, speakers, and from the sound sentiments of constitutional loyalty. which pervaded them. all—this meeting of nobility, gentry,.yeomanry, and other per sons of substance and consideration (atnounting in the whole to 1157, who sat down to dinner), displayed an union of social harmony with public enthusiarn, the •most perfect and the most elevated that it ever fell to our lot to witness either in this city or in any other part of our. native.land.. Lord Wodehouse, the lord-lieutenant of the county of Nor folk, presided at the dinner, -• THE. HOUSE of Pens.—Shall the Upper Chamber orthe Legislature be "swamped ?" The time has arrived at which . this: question, startling though it be, .demands a' specific reply. The whigs have scarcely resumed - office—their existence, in deed, has not been attested by one public act; and already some, half-dozen peers have been created. During their present te nure-of office, - extending over a space of less than four years, about thirty individuals were •either elevated to the peerage or received at their hands an. , exaltation in the scale of nobility, being a proportion exceeding FOUR to oNg-,the creations' of the preceding thirty years, although in that period was embraced the era, of the general peace when many:peerages were , created as the reward of military service—when the sons of George the Third had arrived at. that age which rendered their exaltation ,necessary, and when other causes combined to produce frequent legal and other unavoidable additions to.the House of Lords. Surely, then, .it is unwise any longer to blink this question. The national efficiency of the upper house may. be as ef lentunlly, annihilated by.weekly additions to its numbers as by ,the sudden infusion of a herd of unworthy nobles-many of whom possess no claim, either intellectually, morally, or as re gards their possessions and stake in..the country, to be thus ele vated above their fellows. In some recent instances, indeed, titles have been conferred.upon individuals whose immediate descendants must inevitably look for support to that State Pau per Fund, against which the whigs were lately so clamorous.— Manchester Chronicle.
