CERTIFICATES—JULY 30.

THE ITALIAN PEASANTRY.—The tempo
of the lower Italians, their customs, and their morality; pre.
sent, even in the same persons, contradictions of the most cu-
rious kind. The impression which the hasty traveller re-
ceives is almost unavoidably unfavourable. In visiting the
northern Lakes, he is surrounded by as mercenary a race as
those who inhabit the other show-countries of Europe. From
Lombardy to Calabria, if he travels with a display of wealth,
he is passed from hand to hand through a series of postmasters,
postboys; couriers, innkeepers, shopkeepers, and valets-de-
place, who successively try which can cheat him most,
Inclination or curiosity may unfortunately lead him into
those scenes of debauchery, which, in Italy arc nowhere
glaring except at Naples ; and if, on his way to the
luxurious city, he happen to be robbed in the Pontine
Marshes, his experience of low life is completed. And
yet his harsh opinion of the people would be utterly
unjust. If he were to reside long among them, and
mixed familiarly with the labouring classes, either in country
or in town, allowing their character room to develop itself,
would not be unlikely to commit injustice the 'opposite way.
That class of men who revenge their nation on foreigners by uni-
versal though petty spoliation, willnot indeed improve much on
farther acquaintance (although even their cheating is oddly
limited by a few traditional rules ;) and the general cha-
racter can scarcely be estimated fairly in any districts
which are much frequented by travellers. But the ob-
, server will discover honesty and purity even in the towns;
in the country he wit have difficulty in detecting anything
else ; and every where, when he has contrived to step within
the line of separation, he will be met with a warmth of heart,
an originality and independence of character, a picturesqueness
of ideas, and, in several provinces, a marked fertility of wit,
which will inspire him with true affection for the fallen nation,
and make it no easy task for him to represent their faults
clearly either to himself or others.—Edinburgh Cabinet Li.

THE FLOODS.—The heavy fall of rain with
which this town and neighbourhood hat been visited
during the last week or ten days' has not only suspended
for the present the hay harVest, but we fear it has done
irreparable injury to much that is already mown. The
rain fell without intermission on
.'riday last, which
caused the waters in this" vicinity .to overflow their
banks • considerable devastation both :to .the standing
crops Of grass, and that which'is in a foriard state for
stacking, was the consequence, particularly in ihe low
lands ; the pastures, too, within the reach of the flood
have sustained considerable darner: The rapidity of
the waters swept away several tdii h 4 from a field
belonging to Mr. Gillett, of .Whittington ; indeed the
waters seemed. to be concentrated in this locality, in the
river Rothor, and as they proceeded in their' course
spread themselves over the adjoininglands. We under-
stand that the crops of Mr. Dixon, Mr. Heywood,
and other persons who have large farms in Birming-
ton and Staveley, have sustained great damage. Killa-
marsh was peculiarly unfortunate_; as from its low si-
tuation the meadows presented a complete sheet.- of
water ; hence it may be inferred that extensive injury
has been done in that neighbourhood. Bolsover and
Duckmanton did not escape the ravages of the resistless
torrents ; we have been told 'that at both these,places
