pottrp. THE MOUNTAIN OF MERCY. BY THE REV. J. B. M'CREA. (For the Liverpool Standard.) My song shall not of Seneh be, The " dreadful" mount of God, .Where, clad with might anti majesty, The Lord Jehovah trod, When, issuing from the fervid flame, 'Mid thunder loud and long, His awful voice to Moses came Like trumpet waxing strong, I sing not that clear mountain top* Where Jordan rolls beneath, Whence skies far stretch that fatness drop, And fields that fragrance breathe ; From which, his travail well nigh done, Up gone at God's command, The hoary prince of Jeshurun Beheld the promised land. Nor tune to llermon's fruitful breast, Which fall the dews upon, Nor Caramel's rich enameli'd crest, Nor Cedar'd Lebanon. Gilead, with'varied flowers bedight, In em'rald circlet set, Renowned Tabor's summit bright Nor vine-clad Olivet. Than these a mountain lovlier far A t t une s my grateful lay, O'er which the bright anti morning star Emits his lucent ray. That ever -glorious hill of God, With thousand charms bespread Where long-desired Emanuel trode, On which Messiah bled. This mount of mercy and of grace Uplifts its head on high ; Iler fence surrounds the unmeasured base Of heaven-crown 'd CALVARY. The feeble frame, the languid limb, And all in heart depress'd, Its smiling innocence may climb, And find relief and rest. Waters of life adown its steep, . ••I6 Copious - current; flow ; The're stlowets their illoorn ' , perennial. keep, There frnits immortal grow. IN'ATCY, the mountain of the Lord, . Wheke peace and justice meet, Altar of the 'lncarnate Word, And-sinners' safe retreat. . * Pisgah. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. CAN SUCH THINGS BE? (From the Essex Standard.) Nay, such things are, and thousands upon thousands of Protestants, as they would be called, are as indiffe rent to the fact as if it were unalloyed and unmitigated and unmitigated fiction. The yearly grant•to the So ciety for the Propagation of the Gospel has been long since withdrawn by the present government ; and, hear it, Englishmen, £70,000 per annum is actually being paid, by a professedly Protestant Government, for teaching what, until lately, they were accustomed to affirm, by oath, to be " damnable doctrines." Yes, this is the sum which we are actually dealing out, like Jezebel of old, for the purpose of supporting idol priests, teachers of Baal, bowers down to images ; and yet Englishmen will not awaken. Are they waiting for the re-kindling of the Smithfieldfires? Have they a wish to experience .the pleasure of the Inquisition ? 0 let them look to the facts whicji we will set before them in a very few lines, and be warned before it is too late. Here is the parliamentary paper containing an account of the grants already made by government : FOR POPERY: .

(From the Watchman) , It would seem from the lavish grants of money pro posed by ministers for the maintenance of Prince Al bert, notwithstanding the Queen's ample income of £300,000 per annum to support any conceivable ex penses consequent on her approaching marriage, that as little attention is bestowed on the state of the re venue, as on other neglected public interests. Hap pily there are those non-official guardians of the com monwealth, who, ever and anon, thunder in Lord Mel bourne's ear some disagreeable truths to chafe the cur rent of his otherwise easy and pleasurable existence.. The Earl of Ripon is one of these wakeful sentinels on the battlements ; and he has just blown a note of alarm, not loud b ut d eep, respect i ng the unsatisfactory state of t . r evenue. What public interest, in shor t, it may be asked, is in a prosperous condition ? Verily the ma terials to sustain Sir J. Y. Buller's vote of censure on ministers lie scattered thick as hail, and whatever im pression th e y may make on the faction-proof minds of the present House of Commons, they cannot fail to do great execution throughout the country at large. It might seem, indeed, from the results of the late elections in favour of ministers, as if nothing would arouse the publi c to a sense o f t h e d a ngers which me nace our beloved countr y . V ar i ous local circumstan ces and oth er i n fl uences, h owever , m i g ht be success fully pleaded against any general ' unfavourable infer ence to the cause of Conservatism being drawn from those elections.

In a late number of this journal, we pointed out, at some length, how completely unrepresented in the House of Com mons are " th e Protestant people of England."

(l) N it will be - recollected, - as was asserted by thei on' Earl o f Ripon, that -the Duke of Wellington, when at the &, a d of the Treasury, " introduced an act, by which all the then existing laws relative to the Sinking Fund were abrogated, and which.provided that the Sinking Fund shall only be assisted out of any actual surplus revenue to a certain extent, and, beyond that, that the surplus shall be applied to the reduction of taxes. For five or six years subsequently, with the exception of one Year, there was a regular surplus of income over ex penditure, which was applied according to the provi sions of the 'new act. By the noble Duke's policy; both:irelief w as g i ven t o t ax ation, and an annualrre duction, to some extent, of the National D ebt was ef fected.. But now, for the last three years , so far f rom there having been surplus, there has been a consider able deficiency o owing to any real falrrenue.

We are indebted for the following extract to Mr. Jones Loyd's pamphlet, " Remarks on the Management of the Circulation ; and on the condition and conduct of the Bank of England and of the, Country Issures, during the year 1839: " ON THE CONSEQUENCES WHICH DEPEND ON A 000 D OR nNs raised as OF THE CIRCULATION. the eeireet lt.iehany " Doubts de gree of mismanagement of a paper currency, so long as it is BA p haveMA MANAGEMENT i t •ai convertible and the issuers of it continue solvent, can produce either in creating, intensifying, or prolonging the evils of com mercial oscillations. Whilst some parties attribute the fluc tuations of trade, and the not unfrequent recurrence of mer cantile and commercial difficulty, almost exclusively to mis management of the currency, other persons have taken a very different view of the subject. Fluctuations in trade, they contend, are necessarily connected with the very existence of commerce ; variations in the relation of supply and demand arise out of natural circumstances, and will produce alterna tions prosperity and depression, whatever be the circula ting medium, and in Whatever manner regulated. The case would not be diffeient were the circulation wholly metallic. Speculation, according to their views, originates in causes unconnected with the state of the currency ; and although an undue amount of issue may aggravate the evil where it exists, yet prices are out indirectly and distantly connected with va riations in the iii amount of the currency, w hil s t ot h er causes affect the more immediately and more powerfully. " It is desirible, no doubt, that a correct understanding should exist on this point. Exaggerated views of this, as of any other subject, may very possibly have been indulged in by those who direct an exclusive attention to the examination of it ; but we mustliot on that account run into the opposite extreme, and closer Our eyes to the serious consequences to a trading community which depend upon the regulation of the circulating medium. The currency, in which all transactions are adjusted, has the same reference to the healthy state of trade which the atmosphere in which we all live has to the physical constitution of our bodies; irregularities and disorders may arise from a variety of causes, but the duration and viru lence of them will materially depend upon the pure, healthy, and well-regulated con diti on o f th e me di um i n which they. exist. A well-managed currency cannot prevent the occur rence of periods of excitement and over-trading, nor of their necessary consequences, commercial pressure and distress •, but it may tend very powerfully to diminish the frequency of their return, to restrain the suddenness of their outbreak, and to limit the extent of their mischief. The connection, again, between fluctuations" in prices and variations in the amount of the circulating medinin, is a question of extremely difficult solution in its detail ;' and, probably, after the most laborious investigation of it, we can only come to the conclu-. • siori, th"at the' immedige effect upon prices of any variation in the amoinit, - of the circulation may be over-estimated, whilst there Undoubtedly exists a very intimate connection between them. Indeed, unless this be admitted, the whole doctrine of regulating the circulation, by reference to the state of the exchanges, falls to the ground, and we are left without any principle upon which the management of the cir culation can rest, " Whatever differences of opinion, however, may exist, as to the extent to which either fluctuations in the state of trade, or-the rise.and fail of prices, are attributable to an imperfect regulation of the currency ; these, it must he admitted, are secondary considerations only. Unless the paper circulation of the country be regulated by a fixed rule, not fitful and ca pricious in its operation, but constant and invariable,. its convertibility at all times cannot be effectually secured, and the maintenance of the value of the currency, as measured by its ancient metallic standard, must become precarious and uncertain. Upon this point the events of the past year pre sent us with an.example pregnant with the most valuable in struction. _ " The monetary systems of the two principal commercial communities of the world have been subjected to a severe trial. In England, a combination of adverse circumstances has caused a prolonged period of unfavourable exchanges ; a heavy drain upon the bullion of the bank has ensued; the necessary reduction of the amount of the paper circulation of the country has been delayed till some time subsequent to the commencement of the loss of bullion, and has not at any time been carried to a corresponding extent. The conse quence of this has been a reduction of the bullion to a point which justly cansed very serious alarm, and a general con viction that the monetary system of the country had been brought into imminent danger. The difficulty, however, there is reason to believe, has been overcome ; the bullion is increasing, and the regulation of our paper currency, by re ference to its ancient metallic standard, we may reasonably expect will he maintained. How striking is the contrast if we turn to the United States. Connected as that countr) is with England in all its commercial relations, it was impossible that the circum stances which caused a heavy pressure upon the monetary system of one country should not, at the same time, seriously affect that of the other. The drain upon our bullion, and the measures necessarily taken to counteract it, were imme diately felt in their effects upon the banking system and upon the currency of the United States. The strength and soli dity of the system upon which the circulation of each country is established, were thus simultaneously brought to a con clusive trial ; and the different result in each case might have been reasonably anticipated from the different principles upon which the management of the circulation in each country is based. " In the United States, the paper circulation is under no general system of control. The duty of maintaining the con vertibility of the notes, and the corresponding power of re gulating their amount, does not rest with a specified body or institution ; unlimited competition exists amongst banks of issue ; and these banks combine with the business of issue all the ordinary banking business of deposit and discount. The inevitable tendency of this system is evidenced by re cent occurrences ; it has proved unable to sustain the trial, and, after a feeble struggle, has altogether broke down. The controvertibility of the paper circulation has not been effec tually maintained. The country is subjected to all the fluc tuations and confusion which attend a suspension of specie payments, and will have to grapple hereafter with the formi dable difficulties which must attend the effort to restore a sound system of currency. "This result was not unforeseen by those who had care fully investigated the principles of currency ; supposing the cabinet of Washington to be sustained in its views by the ie presentatives of the American people, and that the Union is left to be supplied with a paper currency by an unlimited number of banks, acting in competition, and without any control from the action of one powerful central body, we may anticipate, with certainty, a succession of catastrophes such as we have lately seen, occurring at intervals more or less distant according to circumstances.' —[Norman on Currency, 1838, p. 60.1 This striking anticipation of a monetary con vulsion, which has subsequently occurred, is calculated to create confidence in the truth of the principles upon which the prediction was founded, and to establish the assurance that a careful investigation of general principles will always prove to be the best guide through the intricacies of practical details. "In England, the paper circulation is established on the sound principle of vesting in one institution the power of con trolling its amount, and the duty of maintaining its converti bility ; hut that principle is very imperfectly carried out; the power of control is incomplete ; rival issues, though of a su bordinate character, are permitted ; banking functions are united with the management. of the circulation, though in a more limited degree than in the United States. " The consequence is, that our system, by virtue of the sound principle upon which it is based, has sustained the trial to which it has been subjected • although, in consequ ence o f the inconsistencies and imperfections which attach to it, the struggle has been difficult and prolonged, and accompanied with many well-founded apprehensions as to the result. Had the power of the Bank of England over the circulation been complete, and not counteracted in the first instance by the country issuers ; and again, had the Bank been left to pursue. her simple duty of regulating the circulation by reference only to the state of the exchanges, and not been subjected to improper demands upon her in consequence of her connec tion with the government and the commercial world, her difficulties would have now greatly diminished. " It is not always safe to judge of measures solely by events ; and mankind are perhaps too ready to take a fortunate result as the evidence of wisdom, and failure as a proof of folly. But in those cases in which events can be clearly connected with the preceding circumstances, and be shown to be their natural and legitimate effects, we may safely infer from the nature of the results, - what is the character of the system from which they proceed. In The case before us, it seems impossible to doubt that the different fate which has befallen the monetary system of the two'countries is the consequence of the different principle upon which those systems are founded ' • and if we are intent upon profiting by experience, and wish to derive from past errors the lessons of future wisdom, we shall surely find in the respective condition and conduct of the Bank of England and of the Issuing Banks of the United States during the last year, abundant reason for repudiating the principle of competition in the management of the currency ; whilst we shall perceive more clearly than ever the necessity of 'strengthening and extending the influ ence of the Bank of England as a of issue, and at the same time restricting, as far as possible, its connection with the business of deposits and discount."

The chancel is one third the whole length of the church, and is raised from the floor of the nave by an ascent of four steps. On the north side of the topmost of these four steps stands the pulpit ; on the south, the lectern, whence the lessons are read. In the centre of the topmost stands a fixed faldstool, holding the Book of Common Prayer, turned towards the altar, so that the officiating clergyman, in saying all the morning and even ing prayers, kneels on the step with his face towards the altar. The sentences and exhortations are read and said from a low desk on the lowest step looking towards the people. Half way down the chancel, on another step, stand the altar rails. The altar itself is of stone, finely carved, to correspond with the architecture of the church, in the early English style. It is covered with a crimson cloth, the fringe of which hangs only an inch or two over th e edge, leaving all the carving uncovered. d On it stand t wo mass i ve wooden candlesticks, highly cu rved and richly g ild e d . In the south wall, within the altar ra il s , is fixed the p r i m i t i ve credence, on which to . f carved wood, an d covered with a cloth ac e the sacred r vessels and sacre d e l ements, previous to Pi iti s 0 O blation. the altar.

Owing to the early hour at which we are obliged to go to press, we were unable to give the following in our first edition. It appeared in the city articles of yes terday's morning papers. • LONDON.—SATURDAY EVENING. The arrival of some most important intelligence from China this morning created the greatest interest amongst the mer chants and others connected with our commerce in that coun try. These accounts were brought by the merchant ship Marinion, arrived off Dover, which sailed from the anchor age at Hong Kong, on the 27th of September, bringing letters and papers of that date, which are later than those re ceived overland by 25 days. The contents of the private letters ancrthe few newspapers received to-day go to confirm in the strongest manner the anticipations that the British had commenced a little war against the Chinese authorities. It appears that on the 4th of September an affray took place at Hong Kong between some English and Chinese, when some of the former were wounded and some Chinese killed, and that the illfeeling then towards the English was rather increasing. Indeed so much so, that, on the 2d of September, Lin, the High Commis sioner, and Governor of Canton, published two proclama tions, charging the British, of all sorts and sexes, with con tinuing the opium traffic on the outside of the port, and also accusing Superintendent Eliot of neglect, in bringing to jus tice those who took the life of Lin Weihe, as was on record ; ordering at the same time all the military and country people to arm themselves, and prevent the vicious barbarians from obtaining provisions and water. The second proclamation charged the Chinese pilots with treachery, in piloting the large ship of war (the Volage) through the dangerous and shallow waters, and threatened them with decapitation if the offence was repeated. The owners of all fishing boats and boatmen were warned not to serve on board any foreign ship for pay, or to 'supply them with provisions under certain punishment. The Canton Press says the Chinese government orders, as to withholding supplies froth' the fleet, were! strictly en forced, and boards hoAbeen found "on shore at Hong Kong, containing a warning to the natives against using the water of several wells and springs, ;that have been poisoned to do mischief to the Englisho, The Chinke authorities also offered a reward for the heads of Superintendent Eliot and Captain Smith of the Volage. ' Thebritish at Hong Kong memorial ised Lord Palmerston, and on the 11th Sept. Captain Smith issued the following official notice, threatening a blockade in six days : •• ' _ _ " The high commissioner and the governor of these pro vinces having publicly forbidden the regular supplies of food for her Majesty's subjects, and having commanded the people to tire upon and seize them whenever thty go 'on shore to purchase provisions, and certain of her Majesty's subjects having been actually cut off, notice is hereby given, that it is my intention, at the requisition of the chief super intendent of the trade of British subjects ,in China, to esta blish a blockade of the river and port of Canton ; and notice is hereby given, that none other than vessels actually within the port, or foreign vessels entering within six days from the date hereof, will be allowed free egress till the blockade be declared raised. (Signed) " H. SMITH, " Captain of her Majesty's ship Volage." On the same day the Superintendent Eliot issued a gene ral memorandum to the commanders of all British vessels, in consequence of Governor Lin's second proclamation; wherein he says, in order to leave no just room that her Majesty's flag was flying in protection of persons engaged in a trade declared to be lawless by the Government of that country, he required the commanders of vessels not having opium on board to repair to the Fort William within 48 hours, and make oath to that effect, at the same time ordering all vessels engaged in the traffic of opium should immediately depart from. the harbour and the coast: Some negotiations having followed with the Chinese authorities, for permitting the English to return to Macao, &c. Captain Smith, on the lath of September, remitted the blockade in the following official notice : . " The safety of certain of her Britannic Majesty's subjects, supposed to have been cut off by the officers of the Chinese Government, having been ascertained, and negotiations being opened on the basis of the withdrawal of the proclamation against the lives and liberty of her Majesty's subjects, I hereby declare that till further notice be given, founded upon the result of such negotiations; the blockade notified by me on the 11th instant, will not be established, and vessels con- tinuing, to enter the port will be permitted to pass out un molested. " H. SMITH." _ . . Some of the letters mention that the Volage had afterwards gone up with Supsrintendent Eliot to Macao, on some fa vourable negotiation, which it was hoped by some would not be interrupted by the apkarance of Adaiiral Maitland with. warlike instructions. Beyond the following notice of the destruction of a Spanish, : ship, we believe we have given a general summary of all the China news. A singular outrage was committed upon the Spanish tra ding ship Bilbaino, lying in the Typa, by the Chinese, on the 12th September, wherein damage to the amount of 20,000 dollars was effected. She was fired into and boarded by four Chinese boats ; the crew jumped overboard, and, after rifling the vessel, which was in ballast, of all her charts, instru ments, and other valuables, they set fire .to her. The Spa nish crew were sent adrift, and 19 found their way to Macao. This ship was one regularly authorised by a Chinese license to trade on the coast ; but the Chinese suspected the Bil baino of having sold the English"provisions. Commerce, of course, was in a very stagnant state at Canton ; but the Marmion has brought home a valuable general cargo. LIVERPOOL MARKETS.—Tms DAY CORN EXCHANGE. Although the late high winds materially abated towards the end of last week, the arrivals into this port are still \ cry inconsiderable;as will be seen in reference to our import note below. From the commencement to the close of this day's mar ket, most kinds of Wheat continued to meet a limited de mand only; notwithstanding which, good samples of foreign were steadily held at an amendment of Id. to 2d. per 70Ibs. over the rates of Tuesday last, and fine English old Wheat was the turn dearer; but in the value of Irish we have no change to note, although a few parcels of the better qualities were taken by country millers, and supported late prices. English and foreign duty-paid Flour was in moderate re quest, the latter realising an advance .of 6d. ; but in Irish little or no business was done, and for such our quotations remain nominal. Bonded Flour continued to meet inquiry, and would sell readily at ; but the importers asking 315., which the buyers refuse to pay, very few transactions have taken place since Friday, and none exceeding 30s. 6d. per barrel. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Peaso ruled in all respects nearly :he same as last week. Oats, although not in lively demand, were rather more saleable to-day, and prime samples obtained a slight improve ment upon our last currency. Oatmeal was taken off spar ingly, and remained unaltered in value. ARRIVALS OF CORN, From the 28114 January to the 3rd February, .840, inclusive. STATE OF TRADE TRADE AT BRADFORD.—For the last four or five months trade has been anything but healthy or vigorous at Bradford ; we are, however, very glad to be able to report that in cer tain quarters symptoms of resuscitation have appeared.— Several mills have recommenced running longer time ; and various woolcombers, woolsorters, &c., have in consequence found employment. We trust the revival will be permanent and extensive. BARNSLEY CORN MARKET, JAN. 29,--Not w ith s t an di ng the wetness of the day , the market was moderately att en d e d, but Wheat was far from being in good condition. Millers, however, bought freely of prime samples, which realized a little more in price than on the week previous ; but in inferior sorts there was no alteration.. In all other kinds of grain no variation. Certain votaries of the / occult sciences, says the Journal General, have made the following cabalistic calculation. On adding together the figures 1789, the year in which the first Fren c h revolution commenced, they will make the sum 25, the exact period of the duration of that revolution, which was ';t an end in 1814. By performing the same operation with 11 e 5 the eary in which the counter - r evolution was perfected, theof numbe r 15 will be produced, and give the p recise dura the restoration. By adding together 1830, the num ber wi ll be found ; but it remains to be seer; whether this ie an equal prognostic. SELECT EXTRACTS. ASSOCIATIONS of IDEAS.—When a gentleman remarked, on the morning that intelligence was received of Lord Bryon's death—"So Byron is gone ?''—arcindividual present rejoined, 0 Yes, and do you know, Mr. Cooper, our neighbour, is not. expected to live ? "—Metropolitan Magazine. CITY OF QU EBEC.—In the midst of a fine landscape stands Quebec, the capital of British' America. It is seated on a promontory stretching out into the river, which, by means of it and Point Levi, on the opposite side, is.narrowed to about three quarters of a mile, though immediately below it spreads out into a wide basin. Cape Diamond, the most elevated' point of the city, is reckoned by an eminent traveller 1,000 feet high ; a proof of the fallacious nature of such estimates, since the more accurate observation of Bouchette fixes it at 345. Above 100 feet lower is an elevated plain, on which are built the castle, and the whole of what is termed the upper town. Thence a perpendicular steep of above 200 feet de scends to the banks of the St. Lawrence ; and in the narrow interval between this precipice and the river is the lower town, the crowded seat of business and shipping. • The scenery of Quebec and the surrounding country is described by all travellers as rivalling in picturesque beauty the most favoured parts of the earth. The navigator who ascends the St. Lawrence, aftei he has passed the Isle of Orleans, and entered the broad basin already mentionedovhere he first comes in sight of this capital; is struck with intense admira. tion. He sees its citadel crowning a lofty cliff, its castle and batteries overhanging a range of formidable steeps, the river crowded with numerous vessels - of every form and size, from the huge timber-raft to the bark canoe. The fall cf Mont morenci appears dashing its white foam almost to the cloud ; and on each side is a long range of fertile•and beautiful shore. On ascending Cape Diamond, : a still grander and more ex tensive panorama bursts upon his view, combining all the boldness of rude with the richness of cultivated nature. Up and down the magnificent stream of the Saint Lawrence is a reach of more than forty miles, on which sails almost innu merable are in ceaseless movement.—Below is the beautiful Isle of Orleans ;. while the opposite coast is diversified by a great variety of natural and cultivated scenery. To the north appears the river St. Charles, winding amid fertile valleys and hills, with villages hanging on their sides ; while the pros pect is closed by a bold screen of. mountains. Mr. Weld prefers the views from the upper town, where, though fewer objects are seen, they appear - more distinct and brilliant. This traveller, after visiting a great part of Europe and Ame rica, gives to them a preference over - every thingthat he had observed. on either . continent. Mr. M•Greg - or copsiders them similar, but much superior,. to. those from . the castles of Edinburgh - and Stirling. - Quebec; from its situation,, and the care-with which. it haa".been -fortified ; is a 'trey itrong town, - and considered the chief bulwark of British America. On the summit of the lofty' headland just described, stands the citadel. The rock consists of granite mixed with quartz crystals, and a•species of dark-coloured slate. About forty acres are hete covered with works, carried to the edge of the precipice, and connected by massive walls and batte ries with the other defences of the place. The main body of the fortress, however, consists of the upper town, whose fortifications enclose a circuit of about two miles and three quarters. The face of the hill towards the river is so ex •tremely precipitous, that it requires only a common wall to protect it, though the gate leading from the lower town is defended by heavy cannon, and the steep approach by Moun tainstreet is infiladed and flanked by many guns of large calibre. As the declivity towards the interior and the plains of Abraham does not present the same abrupt face, but de scends by successive ridges, it has been strengthened by a series of regular works, including ditch, covered way, and glacis, with some exterior defences to obstruct the approach of an enemy. It seems probable, therefore, that the place would hold out against any attack, till the approach of the rigorous winter should compel the assailants to raise the siege.— Edinburgh Cabinet Library; Historical and. De scriptive Account - cf British America. THE PYRAMIDS OF EGYPT.-A correspondent of the Athenceum, writing from Cairo, says :—" In our days of science and enterprise, those pyramids on which I now gaze from my terrace are still the most stupendous efforts of hu man skill and perseverance. I have had lately the good for tune to meet Professor W. Forchhammer, of the Kiel Uni versity, in the Duchy of. Holstein ; and I may venture to affirm, that the grand arcanum, the cui Bono of those singu lar structures, is at length solved by the investigations of that able antiquarian. As he published in the year 1837, a little dissertation on:this subject, I need not rehearse the chain of reasoning by which he establishes that the pyramids are ar tificial hills, built over vast receptacles of water. It is not, perhaps, extraordinary, that the Ethiopians, who first colo niZed Egypt, should have taken such precautions to supply their newly built cities with water cleansed by subsidency, and cooled by outlets always turned to the north. We learn from Bruce and Pearce in what singular veneration pure water is still held by the Agows, who will never offer any to a stranger. But, however satisfied with his new theory, Professor Forchhammer was still anxious to extend -his re searches by ocular examination ; and, although extremely diffident before he set out, he had the good fortune to collect new proofs from a careful survey of several pyramids. In this part of his inquiries, he derived considerable assistance from the labours of Colonel Wyse, who, by a succession of most praiseworthy attempts, has succeeded in discovering. a new Chamber and several of those Syringes mentioned by Strabo (xvi. 1). It is much to be regretted, that some of the spirited scientific associations of the British empire have not taken up the question of a thorough history and survey of the pyramids: The` latter part of the undertaking might be accomplished by a well-combined system of boring. My own labours at the great pyramid are on a much smaller scale than those of the German philosopher. As some of my Eng lish friends entertained doubts relative to the old standard yard, I resolved to compare an accurate measurement of the length of the grand chamber with that made by John Greaves, who found it to be 34,380 in the year 1680. I obtained 10,471 for the length of the inner wall, and 10,476 metres for that of the outer one. If we take the mean of these two numbers, and divide by 34.38, the result will be 0.30469458 metre for the length of the English foot. The Annuaire du Bureau des Longitudes gives one-tenth of a millimetre more, or somewhat less'than four thousandths of an inch. On the morning of the 18th of November, I found the dip, of the magnetic needle :41 deg. 41 min. 7 sec. on the top' of the. pyramid, and on the evening of the same day found it to he 41 deg. 32 min. 9 sec. in the principal chamber. The dip at Alexandria was 43 deg. 48 min. 2 sec. on the Bth of October, and 60 deg. 29 min. 8 sec. at Rome on the 20th of Septem ber." TEMPERANCE, ABSTINENCE, VARlETY.—Chocolate has been found most serviceable to the low spirited, to those who are emaciated, to those who suffer from hemorrhoids; and there are certain states in which coffee may be _preferred : but that 'these and herbs, in. a state of infusion and decoc tion, ought to be the sole drink of man, neither appears from the history of the,past, nor, a consideration of the adaptation of man for the. various climates to. which he is exposed, the libour he haS to .undergo, nor to. the . imense variety of• food which necessity and habit of life have introduced. The vicissitudes of human existence, sometimes in a state of the utmost simplicity, at others of unbounded luxury, demand that aliment suitable to the general wants, as well as to each individual member, should be obtained ; that fermented liquors, if injudiciously taken, produce diseased stomachs and livers, consumption, dropsy, madness, is universally ac knowledged ; and the prudent man, who fears that he may be betrayed into a single excess that may overpower his rea son, is perfectly right in shunning the means of mischief. But good wine is a good cordial, a fine stomachic ; and, taken at its proper season, invigorates mind and body, and gives life an additional charm. There can be found no sub stitutes for the fermented liquors that can enable man to sustain the mental and bodily labour which the . artificial habits of society so constantly demand. Temperance and moderation are virtues essential to our happiness, but a total abstinence from the enjoyments which the boun teous hand of nature has provided is as unwise as ,it is ungrateful. If, on the one hand, disease and sorrow attend the abuse of alcoholic liquors, innocent gaiety, additional strength and power of mind, and an increased capability of encountering the over-varying agitations of life, are amongst the many good results which spring from a well-regulated diet, in which the alcoholic preparations bear their just pro portion and adaptation. Although the abuse of wine and fermented liquors is so dangerous to man, yet a moderate in dulgence in these gifts of Providence is a source of happiness, of joy, and of health to him. The rigid laws that have been so loudly proclaimed, and widely disseminated, are not adapted to every stage of society, nor to every member of the commonwealth. If, on the one hand, disease and affliction,. follow upon intemperance, additional strength and power of mind, and an increased capability of encountering the ever varying agitations of life, are among the many good results which spring from a well-regulated diet, in which beer, wine, and tea, bear their just proportions; nor are alcoholic fluids to be altogether banished, though they arc most objection able if often taken, and more especially in their diluted state. —Dr. Sigmond on Tea. 6; c. THE UNDULATORY THEORY OF LlGHT.—According to this theory, light is not a peculiar substance or kind of mat ter, but only a peculiar state of matter, viz., a state of vibra tion like that which produces sound. The vibrations of sound are communicated through the air; but those of light through a far more rare and subtle fluid called ether, which is supposed to fill all space, and to be so extremely subtle as to penetrate not only between the particles of air, but also between those of solid substances, passing through glass as easily as water through a net. What is generally called a perfect vacuum must therefore be only a space filled with this ether;. -for, of course. no vessel could be made which would confine-or exclude it. The excessive thinness of this fluid acemitied for its undulations being communicated with immense rapidity.' It is supposed, that every source of light sets this ether into a vibrating or wavering state ; as a vibra ting string acts on the air, or a stone on the water into which it is thrown. Now it is known that if two tides, or sets of waves, meet each other, the result is sometimes a very high tide, but sometimes no tide at all. If the two sets of waves meet in such a way, that all the elevations or waves corre spond, and all the depressions or troughs also correspond, the result is a doubly high tide, as might be expected. This is the case in many harbours where the tide comes in by two passages of equal length. But suppose the two passages to lie rather unequal in length, so that one tide arrives a little later than the other, the difference may be such, that all the elevations of one set of *ayes correspond with the depres sions of the other, and vice versa. Then the two tides de stroy each other, and render the surface of the water com paratively smooth. The same thing occurs in sound ; sometimes double sound produces silence. When two notes slightly differing from each other in pitch are sounded toge ther, the two sets of waves meet as above, and sometimes destroy each other. Thus, the two notes, instead of uniting and producing a louder sound, produce that periodical interval of silence which the musician calls a beat. According to the undulatory theory, the same occurs with light. Sometimes double light produces darkness. When two 'portions of light arrive at the same spot by travelling two different routes, if the two routes slightly differ in length, the two sets of ethereal undulations may so meet as to destroy each other, as the two tides do in some harbours ; and such is the case in those very thin films which appear black. The light falling,on.them follows two different routes, in order to come to the eye. Some light is reflected hack from the first sur face, and the rest penetrates into the film, and is reflected from the second surface ; and this last portion evidently tra vels to the eye by a route rather longer than that of the for mer portion. Now, if the thickness of the plate be equal to half the length of a wave of light, or to the length of 14, 24, 34, &c., waves, the two sets of undulations coming from the two surfaces of the film, and meeting in the eye, destroy each other, and produce darkness, or a black colour. This is the case in all the black stripes, which appear on a thin film seen in bomogeneous light. But, at all the light stripes, the thick ness of the plate is 1,2, 3,4, or some whole number of light waves ; and at such places, the two portions of light from the two surfaces, on uniting in the eye, produce a doubly lu minous effect. As in the Newtonian theory of light the fits are of different lengths in the different colours, so, in this theory, different colours in light are like the different notes in musical sounds : they are both due to a difference in the length or slowness of the vibrations—in the one case of ether, in the other of air. Brilliancy of light corresponds with loudness sound; but colour corresponds with pitch. Some persons are inclined to doubt the accounts of the rapidity of the vibrations requisite to produce sound; the very lowest sound being due to at least twelve vibrations in a second of time, while the highest notes require 3000 or 4000 vibrations in a second! But what will such persons say to the velocity of the vibrati on s which constitute light; when it is calculat ed, on unerring principles, that to produce red light, which corresponds to a low sound, there is required about 458 hil. lions (a billion is a million of millions) of vibrations in a single seco n d ; while violet, or the light which corresponds to a shrill sound, is due to 727 billions of vibrations in a se cond of time ! This difference in the length of the waves of the different colours, accounts for the different breadths of the stripes seen on a film in different coloured lights ; and for the different coloured stripes seen in white light, as ex , plained at the end of th e l ast paper. —Saturday Magazine.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JAN. 31. The market opened on Saturday with an improved demand from the Trade and Speculators, and an advance of 4d to -I'd per lb was obtained on American descriptions. Since Tuesday, however, the inquiry having fallen off, and holders showing a greater disposition to realize, prices have given way, and closed barely kd per lb higher than last week. Brazil and Egyptian haye declined : id per lb ; East India remain as last quoted, but heavy of sale. Speculators have taken 3500 American, and Exporters 800 American. There have been forwarded into the country unsold, during the month, 2000 American, 80 Pernambuco, 80 Maranharn, 100 Bahia, and 300 Egyptian. ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, From Me 25th instant to this cloy, inclusive. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, FEB. 3. The London accounts of Saturday being favourable, considerable animation has been the consequence in our Butter market to-day. The demand however is principally speculative, and confined to the medium descriptions. Eine Ballymoney's arc worth gds to 98s; Belfast 98s, (scale lugs ; ; Derry's 92s to pl 5. i Pickled Butter s held for more money; but the transactions arc trivial. It is ex pected that some advance in the price of Beef and Pork will take place of e long. In the mean time the trade is dull, and purchases may be made upon easyterms. Bacon is not so lively an article it was a few day's since, and the price is is per cwt. lower. Belfast middles we quote 46s to 495. Prices paid 11l PORTS SALES OF TOE WEEK. in the week.

With the exception of 540 loads of Irish Oatmeal, brought chiefly by steamers, this week's imports of British Grain, &c. have been light. The arrivals from abroad consist of 169; qrs. Wheat and 6230 brls. of Flour, the whole of the latter and 1250 qaarters of the Wheat from the United States. Duties have been paid upon 510 qrs. of Wheat, 96; qrs. of Beans, ::64 qrs. Peas, and 629 brls. of Flour. At last Tuesday's market a large business was transacted in duty-paid foreign Wheat, of which the millers and dealers were free buyers, paying a little further improvement on the advance Of Id to 2d per bushel reported at the close of last week. The business since has been of a less active character, but accompanied by much firmness on the part otholders, and the sales effected yesterday, in the description of Wheat • already named, were again at rather higher prices. New Wheat has , met a little more inquiry, but remains unchanged in value. American free Flour has sold at 42s fid to 43s per hrl._; and, since tl.is day se'nnight, 7000 to sOOO brls. have changed hands, in bond, at 30s : in one instance 305 6d per barrel has been paid for very fine quality.--With little or no improvement in (lenient!, Oats and Oatmeal have sustained our last quotations, 3s 9d per 401 b. for best Irish Oats, 34s to 315 6.1 for Oatmeal.
