SYMPTOMS OF THE VUTURE.

Tee mere list of th Administrationand for the
present WQ ha.ve nothing more to guide us=---gives us
but t'mail means of prejudging the fitte.rt. The names
are substantlall* the hames which the public has for
soni,Fe kit& past been accustomed to associate with Tory
politics, and there is nothing very ne.v or striking in
the distribution of them, The Duke of Buckingham
has been taken Into the Cabinet=-thigh plainly shows,
exclaims one class of eommentators, that Sir Robert
has bound lilt-itself in ;livery to the 1 indlords. On the
oth4r Mid, be has been admitted to one of the least
important posts in the Cabinet. He has been lurid froin
the independent and commanding position of mouth-
piece of the landlords by the bait of honour without.
authority. He has been silenced and crippled, but
appears not to be trusted with re,,l power. Accord-
ingly, another class of commentators feel confident that
Sir Hobert bas out-generalicd the landlords. Our own
!tllpression, and it can as yet be nothing more, is that
Sir Robert is pl tying the game, here as in Irkland, of
giving up useless injustice, and making a bargain with
those who cleave to the substance of the iniquity, to
rivet it upon us more firmly than ever.
In Ireland it is evident that the more " extravagant
aad erring spirits" are to be thrown overboard—that
is, the foolish rogues, the perverse bigot,., the advocates
of an uncompromising and impracticable tyranny are to
, be sacrificed.
There is to he no office for the leaders of the Irish
party par excellence. " Neither in the class of secon-
dary officers nor in the Royal Household, is Ireland
Lilly represented." So groans the Evening Mail. But
on the other hand, it is well understaod, even among,
those most closely connected with" the Irish party,'
that this " untairnes" involves no substantial departure
from the policy that will alone be approved by that
estimable section of bumaiaity. The Standard is sets-

tied; an.l with much dignity rebukes the dissatisfi.id
and growing malcontents. Mr. O'Conni,Ts strictures
on the two leading Irish appoitAments are deserving of
attePtion. What he says of Lord Eliot seems to us
peculiarly apposite.
" Whem are we to have in this country as Lord
Lieutenant ? Why, Lord dc Grey, and I find people
disposed to praise him very much ; but I s, ill tell you
what Lord de Grey is ; he is an arrant Tory—
(Groans)—and his mind is so completely given up to
Toryism that he really don't think he is doing anything
wrong when he professes to be a Tory.—(Groans.)
He has no conception of what injury a Tory Goverrl-
ment would be to this country ; to be sure, he has con-
nections belonging to that party in Ireland ! for he is
brother-in-law to the E Id of lanisithlen—(" Oh, oh!")
a very respectable conneefon, no doubt ; but I ask, is
it the brother-in-law of the Grand Mister of the Orange-
men of Fermanagh that they should send over to us as
Lord-lieutenant of Ireland ?—(Groans.) This is the
boon and favour—this is the mildness and impartiality
that we are to get from this New Administration. We
get as our Lord Lieutenant a man who will be sur-
rounded by the Fermanagh Orangemen.—(Groans.)
I do not know whether he is connected with Mr. Nixon,
the late High Sheriff of Fermanagh.—(Groans.)
Some person told me that he was within his connection,
but I don't say it from myself; because I don't know it;
but this is certain, that the men by whom he will he
surrounded will be those who always have been most
open in the profession of Orange principles,—(Groins.)
What can we expect from his Administration when he
is surrounded by such men ? If he were _as pure as
virgin gold, and as firm as steel, his connection with that
party in the country, and with men imbued with those
principles, however respectable in private life they may be
(and I admit they are most respectable as private indivi-
duals) would make it impossible for him to govern this
country with satisfaction to the Irish people.—(Cheers.)
The next is Lord Eliot, who is to be the new Chief
Secretary for Ireland, and I am disposed to speak
well of him, for I think if he were free from the tempta-
tions of the Orange party, be would be an excellent
man. He is a man of mild manners and great courtesy,
and as well disposed as any man of his party can be.—
(Hear.) But he ha 3 no strength of mind, and the
consequences are to be dreaded, when we know he will
be surrounded at the Castle by the old clique, whose
object it will he to misinform him and lead him astray.
—( Hear.) No man is so hard to deal with as an
honest man under bad influence. if be be a knave
himself, he is not so likely to be misled ; but when an
honest man is led astra, he will stack to his purpose
with the utmost tenacity. Therefore let Lord Eliot
he surrounded with hail advisers, and he is the man
for hid advisers to play their game with.—( Hear.")
—Tablet.

THE IZ UINS OF COPAN.
(From Stephens's Central America.)
" Since the discovery of these ruined cities, the pre-
vailing theory has been, that they belonged to a race
long anterior to that which inhabited the country at the
time of the Spanish conquest. With regard to Copan,
mention is made by the early Spanish historians of a
place of that name, situated in the same region of coun-
try in which these ruins are found, which then existed
as an inhabited city, and offered a formidable resistance
to the Spanish arms, though there are circumstances
which seem to indicate that the city referred to was in-
ferior in strength and solidity of construction, and of
more modern origin. •
" The wall was of cut stone, well laid, and in a good
state of preservation. We ascended by large atone steps,
in some places perfect, and in others thrown down by
trees which bad grown up between the crevices, and
reached a terrace, the form of which it was impossible
to make out, from the density of the forest in which it
was enveloped. Our guide cleared a way with his
machete, and we passed, as it lay half buried in the earth,
a large fragment of stone elaborately sculptured, aid
came to the angle of a structure with stcpa on the
sides, in form and appearance, so far as the trees would
enable us to make it out, like the sides of a pyramid.
Diverging from the base, and working our way through
I the thick woods, we came upon a square stone column,
about fourteen feet high and three feet on each side,
sculptured in very bold relief, and on all four of the
sides, from the base ta the top. The front was the
figure of a man curiously and richly dressed, and the
face, evidently a portrait, solemn, stern, and well fitted
to excite terror. The back was of a different design,
unlike anything we had ever seen before, and the sides
were covered with hieroglyphics. This our guide
callod an " Idol ;" and before it, at a distance of three
feet, was a large block of stone, also sculptured with
figures and emblematical devices, which he called an
altar. The sight of this unexpected monument put at
rest at once and for ever in our minds all uncertainty
in regard to the character of American antiquities, and
gave us the assurance that the objects we were in search
of were interesting, not only as the remains of an un-
known people, but as works of art, proving, Ike
newly-discovered historical records, that the people
who once occupied the continent of America were
not savages. With an interest perhaps stronger than
we had ever felt in wandering among the ruins of
Egypt, we followed our guide, who, sometimes missing his
way, with a constant and vigorous use of his machete,
conducted us through the thick forest, among half
buried fragments, to fourteen monuments of the same
character and appearance ; some with more elegant
designs, and some in workmanship equal to the finest
monuments of the Egyptians ; one displaced from its
pedestal by enormous roots ; another locked in the
close embrace of branches of trees, and almost lifted
out of the earth ; another hurled to the ground, arid
bound down by huge vines and creepers ; and one stand-
ing with its altar before it, in a grove of trees which
grew around it, seemingly to shade and shroud it as a
sacred thing ; in the solemn stillness of the woods, it
seemed a divinity mourning over a fallen people. The
only sounds that disturbed the quiet of this buried city
were the noise of monkeys moving among the tops of
the trees, and the cracking of dry branches broken by
their weight. They moved over our heads in long and
swift processions, forty or fifty at a time ; some with
little ones wound in their long arms, walking out to the
I end of boughs, and holding on with their hind feet or a
curl of the tail, sprang to a branch of the next tree,
and, with a noise like a current of wind, passed on into
the deptl sof the forest. It was the first time we had
, seen these mockeries of humanity, and, with the strange
monuments around us, they seemed like wandering
spirits of the departed race guarding the ruins of their
former habitations.
" We returned to the base of the pyramidal struc-
ture, and ascended by regular stone steps, in some
places forced apart by bushes and saplings, and in others
thrown down by the growth of large trees, while some
remain entire. In parts they were ornamented with
sculptured figures, and rows of death's heads. Climb-
ing over the rained top, we reached a terrace over-
grown with trees, and, crossing it, descended by stony
stepsinto an area so covered with trees, that at first we
could not make out its form, but which, on clearing the
way with the machete, we ascertairied to be a square,
and with steps on all sides, almost as perfect as those
of the Roman Amphitheatre. The steps were orna-
mented with sculpture, and on the south side, about
half way up, forced out of its place by roots, was a
colossal head, evidently a portrait. We ascended these
steps, and reached a broad terrace 100 feet high, over-
looking the river, and supported by the wall which we
had seen from the opposite bank. The whole terrace
was covered with trees, and even at this height from
' the ground were two gigantic ceibas, or wild cotton
trees of India, above 20 feet in circumference, extending
• their half naked roots 50 or 100 feet around, binding
down the ruins, and shading thew with their wide-
spreading Lrinehes, We sat down on the very edge '0!
the wall, and strove in vain to penetrate the mystery
by which we were surrounded. Who were the people
that built this city ? In the ruined cities of Egypt,
' even in the long lost Petra, the stranger knows the
story of the people whose vestiges are around him.
America, say historians, was peopled by savages ; but
' s.vages never reared these structures--savages never
carved these stones. We asked the Indians who made
them, and their dull answer was, F Quien sabe
' Who knows ?'

of them stepped over a steep precipice into deep water,
and instantly plunged out of their depth. Three were
unfortunately drowned, namely, John Stevenson, Robert
Towler, and Robert Scott. Stevenson was a leather
cutter, and occupied a shop in High-street, near the
Tuesday Market-place ;he was 35 years of age, and has
left a disconsolate widow and four small children. The
other two were young men unmarried, Towler being 23
years of age, and Scott about 17. The body of Robert
Scott has not yet been found, though daily search has
been made for it ever since the fatal catastrophe._

An INTRUDER,—A curious circumstance oc•
)
curred in the stables of Sir John Hall, at the back of
the Crescent, Minories :—A fish-salesman, of the name
of Ford, residing at Billingsgate, keeps a gig-horse up
the mews, near the stables of Sir John. Whilst the
horse was exercising by his boy, it took a sudden liking
to the neighbouring premises, walked up the staircase to
the coachman's apartments, and turned short round
through a door into the hayloft, with the boy on his
back, where he remained several hours, whilst means
were devising to endeavour to remove him, and which
was found to be no casy matter. Fortunately no injury
was done, and the descent was at length accomplished
by means of planks, with cross step-bars, from the win-
dow of the loft.
The only candidate at present for the North
Riding of Yorkshire is the Hon. 0. Dtmcombe. The
election is fixed fur the 6th inst. —Stockport Advertiser.

NOVEL MEANS OF OBTAINING MOkillijog
A woman of rather shabby appearance has been °dee
at several lodging-houses in this city of late, and 00,
vouring to draw upon the charity of the lodgers, by
rather ingenious device. First of all, by some sntt 04
logue as the following with the landlady- or serf gert

is the person of whom she is in search, she
quires where he collies from. If it turn out that, tat'
from the country, she immediately requests an 1-betp

sent by " Jean Cairns," an old servant of his fathell'or
request a little assistance. " Poor Jean has been giber
