The pictorial embellishments consist of a capi-

and an engraving which we like even still better,
of a sportsman and his shooting pony, both de-
lineated with a life-like fidelity and truthfulness.
The literary department has a song by Toni fib-

Meltonian narrative by - Nimrod, who should
take for his motto Sto viper antiqms vies;

riers by Richardson. To the Sportsman's poets
we cannot, in fairness, award higher praise than
to admit that they are not nearly so prosy as the
" Man of Kent." The Turf article is a careful
compilation, and the number, as a whole, is
decidedly good, seemingly evincing a disposition

THE FARMERS' MAGAZINE.

- - -------
As a vehicle for information to farmers, and
indeed to all those persons who take an interest
i:r agricultural pursuits, this is a very valuable
Magazine. The varied intelligence diffused over
its hundred pages is accurate, well brought out,
and above all of a useful, practical description.Far-
niers are too often reproached for a bigoted ig-
norance, as prejudicial to their character as to
their pecuniary interests. Now, if they would
avoid this stigma, they must read and so grow
wiser—if they would live they must learn. Nor
can they do better, perhaps, than study those
suNects treated on in this monthly journal. We
had almost. forgotten to say that the present
Number has two good engravings, one represent-
ing Earl Spencer's Prize Ox—the. other
" Launcelot," who obtained the St. Leger laurels.

THE DRUIDS' Q UAR TERL Y MAGAZINE
This is, we believe, the cheapest of all the
Quarterlies, selling for the small sum of six-
pence ! The quality of the articles is better than
might be presumed from the price of the Maga-
zine, which is chiefly devoted, as its title im-
ports, to Druidical matters.

" For hoping well to deliver myself from mistaking, by the

FORTIFICATIONS OF PARIS.

It is a curious fact, that whilst M. Thiers is attempt-
ing to show that Paris, with his system of fortification,
would be impregnable, experiments have recently been
made, in presence of the Duke d'Aumale and several
engineer officers, with a new means of destruction,
which, the projectors say, would render it easy for a
besieging army to burn Paris, however fortified. I was
present at one of these experiments this morning, and
was much struck with its success. A ball of the
sze of a 24-pounder, with a crust or covering just
sufficient to keep it together until it fell, was thrown
at a temporary construction, previously smeared
over with what is called an incombustible mixture.
The ball, which was merely thrown by hand, burst
when it fell, and an enormous mass of fire issued
from it, and continued to burn for 20 minutes. The
intensity and extent of the time was so great that in
five rainutes the incombustible mixture lost all its
effect, and the construction took fire and was rapidly
destroyed. The ball did not weigh more than five or
six pounds, but I was informed by the inventor that if
attached to a congreve rocket a ball weighing 20
pounds might be thrown upon any building, and that
substances might be mixed with it which would per-
forate the strongest roof, and thus permit the tire
to ru❑ over all parts of the building. Now, if only
one of the detached forts were to fall into the hands
of the enemy, it would be easy, I think, by send-
ing, a few hundred balls of this kind upon the
wall of enclosure, to compel its defenders to
quit their posts ; but according to the Bill now before
the Chamber the fire of most of these forts would
reach the centre of Paris, and therefore if any of tht m
were to fall into the hands of the enemy the destruc-
tion of Paris might be hastened by the adoption of this
system. It is not pretended that the French would be
able to keep this discovery to themselves ; for the prin-
ciple having heal once entertained, the secret of manu-
facture would not long lie a secret to foreign Powers.
It appears, alsa, that a besieging army would have an
advantnge over the besieged as to the rapidity and con-
venience of manufacture. I mention this circumstance
merely to show you that French engineer: themselves
see the folly of a system of fortification which rests
upon cooping up troops in a large capital, where the
inhabitants would be sure to rise upon the Government
if they were to see their property burning.—Corres-
pondent qf a London Paper.

IMPORTANT TO GAS-LIGHT and COKE COM-
PANIES, GAS-FITTERS, and CONSUMERS GENE-
RALLY.

NT DEFRIES, GAS ENGINEER, begs to
• inform Gas Companies and the Public, that after seve-
ral years' practice, and close study, he has succeeded in bringing
to perfection hitherto unequalled, a perfect DRY GAS ME .I ER,
for which he has obtained her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent,
and now confidently submits the saline for their approval and
support.
The PATENT DRY GAS METER has been tested and
sanctioned by several London Gas Companies, and the advan-
tages it possesses over the Water Meters are, steadiness of light,
working by the slightest possible pressure; and to show that
the correctness and accuracy of its measurement may at all
times be depended upon, it is only requisite to mention that the
Gas Fittings are not injured by the impregnated water with
which the Water Meters are charged, and that the severest
frost will not effect it; so that the Patent Dry Meter is emi-
nently calculated to surpass any other hitherto produced.
To be obtained at DEFRIES and Levy's Manufactory, 67,
St. Martin's-lane, where all orders will meet with immediate
attention.

A CIIICFIESTER LUXURY.—We have all heard
of the Roman Emperor who used to pay so dearly for a
new delicacy—his lot should have been cast in these days
of invention. The Romans were fools to the moderns in
discovering what was good. Amongst the lur.uries daily
brought into existence, there is, Perhas, none more de-
licious than the Milk Punch, of which Mr. Hudson, at
Chichester' is the officially appointed manufacturer to her
Majesty. Hudson's Royal Chichester lllilk Punch leaves
all other libations at an immeasurable distance, and would
tempt not only the most rigid teetotaller, but even Father
Mathew himself, to renounce the water farce, and pledge his
friends in a glass of the Royal Punch.

THE CORN TRADE.

By the official account, published on the 25th ult.
it appears that the total import of wheat into the
United Kingdom during the month ending the sth
January, bad consisted of only 38,076 quarters, of which
3,384 quarters were from our colonies, and 34,692 quar-
ters from foreign countries. Duty was paid within the
same time on 1,813 quarters of the former, and 3,178
quarters of the latter ; and there remained in bond on
that day 2,153 quarters from British possessions, and
81,577 quarters of foreign. The quantity of flour
under the Queen's leeks on the sth of January, con-
sisted of 66,484 cwt. of foreign manufacture, and

113,402 cwt. the produce of our Colonies.. The stocks
of all other species of bonded grain and pulse were light,
indeed smaller, taking the totals, than at the same
period of either of the three preceding years, as will be
seen from the following table :

It must be borne in mind, however, that the last har-
vest has yielded very abundantly in all the northern
countries of Europe, and that there is now, perhaps,
more English wheat remaining in the hands of our own
farmers, than at the corresponding period of either of
'the three years named. At most of the leading pro-
vincial markets held during the week, the grain trade
has remained in a very languid state ; and the expecta-
tion so generally entertained, that renewed activity
would follow the breaking up of the frost, has not been
realized.—Marli-lane Express.

MORMONISM.—We understand that the latter-
day Saint speculation is likely to answer very well in this
town, as far as the scheme of making proselytes goes. A
number of weak-minded females were " dipped" in the
tide, according to the dictum of the c faciatirg Saint, on
Thursday last, near the Poor-house Slip, about the time
of high•water ; and in the evening of the same day, we
believe, some of the rougher sex were soused all over head
and ears in the sante element. The ,imposition of hands
is to follow ; and each dupe, after paying the fee, can then
lay claim to inspiration. Mormon prophets are becoming
as numerous in Douglas as the prophets cf Baal were in
the days of Elijah ; end the former are as great impostors
as the latter were—besides, the Mormon seers are greater
knaves. We should not be surprised to hear of some cf
the fanatics paying the forfeit of their lives, for being
guilty of such presumptuous folly as plunging into cold
water at the present inclement season.— The Manx Liberal

CANTERBURY ELECTION.

CANTERBURY, TUESDAY EVENING.
The poll opened at eight o'clock this morning, in seven
different polling booths, and the first hour gzve Mr.
Smythe a majority of 16 ; on the next hour's poll Mr.
Wilson gained 3, which reduced Mr. Smythe's majority
to 13. From ten to eleven o'clock there was a tremen-
dous struggle, both parties polling as quickly as possible ;
as many as 651 voters were polled in the course of that
hour, of which Mr. Wilson had a majority of one, thus
reducing Mr. Smythe's majority to 12. From eleven to
twelve o'clock there were 150 voters polled, and the result
of the total poll at that hour placed Mr. Smythe in a
majority of 84. To this return the greatest interest was
attached, because a large majority at that hour, it was
thought, would prove a decisive one. Every effort was
then used by the Blues to reduce the majority, but
without avail. Mr. Smythe's preponderance on the poll
increased each successive hour to 106, 120, 130, and finally
to 163.

The following is the
FINAL STATE OF THE POLL.

LOSS OF THE FAIRY.—We have again to re-
cord, with :r.stcful feebigs, the ready sympathy with
which our beloved Queen enters into the afflictions of her
subjects ; Sir Henry Wheatley having received her Ma-
jesty's gracious commands to forward to Captain llornhy,
at Woolwich, the sum of 1001. for the relief of the widows
and orphans of the crew of the Fairy.

On Wednesday a most awful event took place at
Doveholes, about midway between Chapel-en-lc-Frith and
Buxton. The day was extremely cold, and two youths,
one named Yates, about thirteen years old, son of a farmer
in the parish of Chapel-en-lc-Frith, and the other named
Bully, about seven years of age, and son of an innkeeper
and farmer at Doveholes, together with a man, walked on
to the top of a limekiln fur the purpose of warming them-
selves, when the stone up,n which they stood, which was
piled up and in the act of being burned into lime, suddenly
sunk, and the two boys were instantly closed up in the
fiery vortex far beyond the possibility of human aid or
assistance. Tho man with great difficulty extricated him-
self from his perilous situation without sustaining any ma-
tetial injury; but the poor unfortunate boys were almost
consumed to ashes before any portion of their limbs could

A STATE CHURCH INCONSISTENT
with the NEW TESTAMENT.
This is an admirable little pamphlet, spirited in its style,
clenching in its facts, and powerful and convincing in its argu-
ments. It ought to be in the hands of every one who would
know the true state of the question between the people and
their State Church. The subject matter contains all—whether
Churchman or Dissenters. All who believe in Christianity
epecially ought to inform themselves sufficiently as to the right
manner in which religion ought to Le supported. The author
of the pamphlet now before us proves Dissent from the State
Church to be founded on sound principles, and justifiable by
Scripture as well as reason—urging with great powers of lan-
guage the right of every man to worship God in the way he
thinks best.—Leeds Times.

REIGATE ELECTION.

REIGATE, TUESDAY.—The returning officer has
fixed to. morrow, the 31 inst., for the nomination of the
candidates. There are three who contend for the re-
presentation of the borough, Lord Elstnor and Mr.
D'Arcy (Tories), and Dr. Bedford; who has come for-
ward on Liberal principles. The borough is a com-
plete pocket borough—as to election, it is all humbug,
and it is calculated that out of about 120 voters there
are not a dozen who are free from the influence of the
Somers family.

A very curious circumstance has transpired in con-
nection with the election. It appears that owing to some
informality in the signing and payment of the rates in the
borough, that a great number of the electors—indeed,
the greater part of them—have no legal vote ; and
should they give their votes, there is no doubt that
the election would be void. It is said that the young
Lord is so delicate in health, that he will not be
able to attend at the nomination, and that some per-
son will appear on his behalf to address the electors.
Dr. Bedford pledges himself to go to the poll, so
that there is no doubt of a contest taking place, al.
though from the peculiar situation of the borough, the
Liberal candidate has no chance of snecess.

LONDON:
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1841.

Lord CARDIGAN made his appearance in the
House of Peers last night.
Petitions were presented by the Duke of
RICHMOND from Dysart, complaining that the
Trustees of a certain turnpike-road were insol-

vent, and that the parish was obliged to keep it
in repair; by Lord ELLENBbROUGH from Bom-
bay, complaining of the Legislative Council for
transferring the power of granting spirit licenses
to the Chief Collector of Land Revenue ; and by
Lord BROUGHAM from Heavitree, praying for
the establishment of Courts for the more easy
Recovery of Small Debts. •
The Earl of CARDIGAN was called to the Bar,
and having nothing to address to their Lordships
by way of objection to the proposed proceedings,
was placed in custody of the Usher of the Black
Rod. A writ of certiorari wasissued to remove the
case from the Central Criminal Court, and a re-
t-urn havingbeen made, the Earl of CARDIGAN was
bailed by two sureties, being bound in 5,0001.
each, and himself in 10,0001. It appears by the
statement of Viscount DUNCANNON that sufficient
accommodation will be provided for all the Peers,
and probably, as we understand the statement,
for about two hundred and sixty spectators. On
the motion of Lord SHAFTESBURY, it was ordered
that the House, on the week of the trial, should
adjourn froM Friday to Tuesday ; but it is not
probable, we suppose, that the trial will last from
Tuesday, the day it begins, beyond Friday.
The Copyhold Enfranchisement Bill was read
a second time, and referred to a Select Committee.
In the Commons, Col. FERGUSON took his seat
for Kirkcaldy. •
Several petitions were presented, and amongst
them there was one by Mr. STRUTT, from Derby,
for the abolition of the Corn-laws, which we are
glad to see, as setting a good example; and one
by Mr. HANDLEY, presented from a Mr. HOUGH-
TON,.setting forth that there were many parts of
counties of England much nearer to some other
assize town than the county town. For example,

there is a part of Lincolnshire 50 miles from Lin-
coln and only 10 from Oakham. The petitioners
therefore prayed that such parts might be
allowed to send their prisoners to the nearest
gaol, and that the inhabitants of such place,
liable to serve as jurors, might be summoned to
the nearest assize town. We apprehend that
the proper remedy for this source of great ex-

This system of reduction in the premiums affords immediate
benefit to the Assured, or enables them to secure a considerable
bonus by effecting a new policy.
Policies are granted in London and by resident Committees
at Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, on Indian risks, at very ad-

exclusively in the possession of this Society, to show the true
risk of life during residence in India, and after rettreracnt from
