HOOD'S MAGAZINE.
The present portion of Mr. Hood's domestic novel,
entitled " Our Family," opened with a humorous
scene of an altercation between two servants respect-
ing the proper mode of treating their master's infant
children. The one is all for the soothing system, the
other for compelling the helpless innocents in question
to rough it through their nursery career. The quar-
rel between the two servants is carried on with a dis-
regard to the proprieties of grammar and com-
mon-sense exquisitely extravagant and original.
" Sonnet," by the late John Keates, is a very poor
affair, remarkable rather for verbiage than thought or
sentiment. " Uncle Tom in Trouble," is a cleverish
sketch of academic life at Oxford. " Camberwell
Fair towards Midnight," contains one or two sketches
of character pourtrayed in a touching, unaffected
spirit, that at once makes its way to the heart. We
subjoin some elegant stanzas on " The Rose of
June :"

BRIGHTON AND CHICHESTER
RAILWAY.

Yesterday the first general meeting of this Railway
Company, which has been just established, was held
at the London-bridge terminus, at which Marwood
Kelly, Esq., took the chair. The Secretary read the
report of the Board of Directors, which stated the
steps that had been adopted for the formation of the
Society, and obtaining the required Parliamentary
powers, by which it appeared that the chief delay and
obstruction which had been caused in the progress of
the formation of the line was owing to the number
of shares required by the Act of Parliament not
being yet taken up. The Chairman then said, in
reference to the present state and prospects of the
Company, that -they were unable to proceed with the
formation of the line as yet, owing to the length of
time occupied by the negotiations with the Duke of
Norfolk with respect to the right of crossing the
river close by the Shoreham terminus. His Grace
had erected a chain-bridge near that spot, and by
a clause in the Act he was entitled to charge
a toll upon all persons crossing the river within
a mile on either aide of his bridge. The
Company was consequently compelled to enter
into an agreement with his Grace to pay the sum of
42,0001. for the right of running this line direct to the
Shoreham station. Mr. James Scott thought this to
be a most exorbitant and extravagant sum to demand
for the privilege, and afforded another strong proof of
the grasping avarice of the aristocracy. The Chair-
man admitted that the demand was large, but they
were compelled by necessity. to accede to it. Mr.
Henderson, one of the Directors of the London and
Brighton Railway Company, contended that, consi-
dering the large sum expended by the Noble Duke in
the erection of the chain-bridge, the sum demanded
was an equitable one. After a lengthened discussion
the report was adopted, and the Chairman moved a
resolution, to carry into effect a proposition, on the
part of the Brighton Company, to take up the unap-
propriated shares, having at the same time an option
to take a lease of the line at 4f per cent. ; which was
opposed by Mr. Scott, who moved, as an amendment,
"That the consideration of the subject should be post-
poned for a fortnight." Ultimately, however, he
consented to withdraw his amendment, and the
original motion was carried unanimously. A resolu-
tion was next passed, by which the Directors were
empowered to adopt such steps as would be most be-
neficial for the extension of the railway from Chi-
chester to Portsmouth ; after which a vote of thanks
was proposed, and adopted unanimously, to the Direc-
tors for their exertions in passing the Bill through
Parliament, and the meeting separated.

UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY,
8, WATERLOO-PLACE, PALL-MALL, LONDON.
Established by Act of Parliament in 1834.
DIVISION OF PROFITS AMONG THE ASSURED.
This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most
perfect security in a large paid-up Capital, and in the great success
which has attended it since its commencement in 1834, its ANNUAL
INCOME being UPWARDS of 72,0001.
In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Shareholders of
one-half of their Stock, and also added a Bonus of 21. per cent. per
annum, on the Sum Insured to all. Policies of the Participating Class
from the time they Were effected.
The Bonus added to olicies from March, 1834, to December 31,
1840, is as follows :

only one-half need be paid for the first Five Years, where the Insur-
ance is for Life.
Every information will be afforded on application to the Resident
Directors, Edward Boyd, Esq., and E. Lennox Boyd, Esq., of No. 8,
Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, London.

whether a single " PRICE'S PATENT CANDLE" of six to the lb.
will not give more light ; and whether, therefore, these Candles do
not afford a cheaper source of light than the commonest tallow
ones, notwithstamding the difference in price per lb.
Care must be taken to ask for them hi the shops under the name
given above, as there are some imitations sold tinder the name" Com-
posite," by which Price's Patent Candles were originally made
public.

AMERICAN ICE.—LYNN'S WATERLOO
HOTEL, RANELAGH-STREET, LIVERPOOL.
WILLIAM LYNN respectfully calls the attention of the nobility,
gentry, hotel-keepers, and others, to this beautiful and cheap article
of importation. It is in solid blocks, weighing from one to two hun-
dred pounds each, and is as clear as crystal ; it can be sent to any
distance, with very trifling waste ; and is used for a variety of pur-
poses that English Ice cannot be applied to.
W. L. has imported some PROVISION SAFES from America, for
the use and comfort of Private Families—
The REFRIGERATOR, or (as sometimes designated) a Miniature
Ice-house. This is a new and useful article of furniture, rapidly
coming into use in northern and southern climes; it is designed to
keep cool and sweet such dishes in the culinary, department as are
necessary to be protected from the heat of the weather during the
summer season.
The Refrigerator is now considered an indispensible article in the
economy of every good housewife ; the quantity of food it protects
from the weather will more than pay the cost of the article in
one year.
They may be seen in operation, in their various valuable and useful
purposes, at the Waterloo Hotel, and families can be supplied with
them on moderate terms.

Oh ! sweet are the flowers of early Spring
When her budding wreath she weaves ;
And bright are the glowing tints that cling
To the last of Autumn leaves.
And dear to m© was the spring-time once,
And bright was the harvest moon ;
But mine eye now turns with a kinder glance
To the cloudless skies of June.
For we met beneath those skies at eve,
As the sun in splendour set ;
But our souls were dark as the eastern wave,
Which the evening rays forget.
For Fortune sever'd my love from me,
And we wept to part so soon ;
But the token she gave for memory
Was a blooming rose of June.
For that was all of its worshipp'd wealth
That the world had given us then ;
But, oh ! for the wasted hope and health
Of those vanish'd years again
And, oh ! for the love so freely given,
For life hath no such boon
To offer now, as was promised then,
By that lovely Rose of June.
Long, long was the treasured blossom worn,
When its leaves were dead and sere,
And far was the frail memorial borne, •
Through the storms of many a year.
For dear to the depths of memory,
As the wanderer's household tune,
When heard on his far and weary way,
Was that wither'd Rose of June.
My task was done, and my hopes were crown'd,
And I sought my native shore ; •
And my home and my kindred's hearts I found
As I left their land of yore.
I came in the strength of hope and love—
In the pride of manhood's noon ;
But I came to plant on her early grave
The first bright Rose of June.
Oh ! many a spring, with its blossoms bright,
O'er my lonely path hath swept,
But joyless all, as the morning's light
To the eyes that have not slept.
Yet the flower in my first affection shrined,
Though its beauty perished soon,
Still it blooms in the wastes of memory, twined
With the lovely Rose of June !

ILLUMINATED MAGAZINE.

The embellishments to this Magazine are, as usual,
excellent ; among them is a picturesque sylvan scene
representing a venerable forest oak stretching its
huge branches across a stream, whose waters it throws
into deep shadow. There is infinite spirit shown in
the execution of this plate. There is some lively
dialogue in the "Adventures of a Scamp," but the
article is too much spun out. It is amusingly illus-
trated by Leech, who is no unworthy successor of
George Cruikshank. We quote the following sketch
of an English fisrmer from a descriptive article en-
titled " A Seasonable Gossip :"
" Let us now glance for a moment at the farmer, the
genuine unsophisticated yeoman of the old school—the
broad-backed, strong-limbed, and brawny-handed scion
of the ancient stock—what a transformation the autumn
works in him ! Much as we respect the many traits of
excellence peculiar to his character, we must confess,
that he is, in general, a dull and ponderous animal, a
slow-spoken, heavy-witted saunterer, patiently watchful
of the progress of his crops, and punctually attentive to
the periodical satisfaction of his appetites; but at hay-
sell and at harvest, how marvellous the change ! It is a
strife between the laverock and himself, which shall be
first abroad; and as with him so with his household.
The earliest glance shot by the rising sun, through the
sparkling casement of his ample kitchen, shines upon
every member of the family, old and young, circling
a breakfast-table laden with abundance most profuse.
Brief space, not idly spent, is thus consumed. Without,
a sleek and silken-coated cob, saddled and bridled,
awaits the burden of his master's bulk, and, mounting
this, the anxious yeoman hastens to the fields. The
swarthy reapers own the influence of their master's eye,
and sickles glance like lightning-flashes through the
yielding corn. Sometimes, alighting from his nag, he
wields that implement himself, and with a lower,
broader sweep, enjoins a greater thrift of straw, dwell-
ing exultingly the while (how mournful is the yearly
retrocession of the world !) upon the superior mode of
reaping and of binding sheaves, which generally ob-
tained when he was young ; while elder men, who were
his rustic tutors in the labours of the field, bury their
brown faces in the wheat, and with difficulty suppress a
smothered laugh. Presently he is among the busiest of
the carters in a neighbouring field, pitching the sheaves,
or driving team, or portioning out supplies of beer, or
ruminating on the quality and prospective value of his
well-housed oats. And so he flits from field to field,
busy as the busiest, and manifesting- a volubility of
speech and suppleness of limbs peculiar to the occasion,
rather than the individual. Dinner supplies him with a
timely respite, but the customary nap which used to
follow like an epilogue, is now foregone, and afternoon,
and even night (if the sky be threatening), find him
lingering in the fields with the adhesive pertinacity of
the worthy in the old ballad, who
Oft fitted the halter, oft traversed the cart,
And often took leave, but seem'd loath to depart.'
Nor is it merely in the harvest-field and in the home-
stead that the most delightful characteristics of the sea-
son are observable. Orchards and garden-grounds are
rich with their abundant fruitage ; and creaking
branches heavy with luscious burdens, droop to the very
ground, which they so richly chequer with their restless
shadows.

of a Dervish, by which means he was enabled to
visit in safety all parts of the country. He was employed
for some time by Colonel Taylor, the resident at
Baghdad, on exploratory missions, one of which was to
trace the retreat ,of the ten thousand Greeks. On this
occasion, a native damsel was given to him as a spouse,
in return for his having cured her of ophthalmia ; but he
afterwards exchanged her for a donkey, the latter being
more useful in following the footsteps of the Greeks.
There was great difficulty in getting him to put the re-
sult of his researches on paper, and he required constant
superintendence—at one moment, the chair was too high;
at another, the pen was bad—in fact, the irksomeness of
writing was quite inconsistent with his acquired habits
of desultoriness. The MS. however exists, and is, with
many others, in Colonel Taylor's possession. Mr. J.
Bailie Fraser was permitted access to it, with the
Colonel's usual liberality ; and he says, in his work on
Mesopotamia (p. 304), that, as Mr. Elliot possessed
means of obtaining information which fell to the lot of
few, the notes which he left are of immense value, more
especially as they respect the manners and domestic
habits of the people.
" Mr. Elliot had, at this time, just returned from a
mission, composed of the two Messrs. Lynch and Mr.
Staunton, which had been sent to the Arabs, on the
Euphrates. They had visited the tribes of Waldiya,
Gizeh, Bu Sipahi, and others of the 'Anezeh. Their re-
ception was generally very favourable, but as they tidm
bearers of presents to the different sheikhs, one of the
Bedwin tribes, the Bu Lilchi by name, conceived the in-
telligent project of appropriating the whole to them
selves ; and they followed the party for some days with
these amiable intentions, which they carried so far, as to
wound one of the servants ; but as this was explained
away as a playful accident, and Captain Lynch's intimate
acquaintance with the character of the people enabled
him to exhibit great forbearance on the occasion, a colli-
sion was avoided, and the sheikh was afterwards anxious
to compromise the matter by presents, which were not
accepted.
" Mr. Elliot still wore the Dervish dress ; and hence
he always went by the same of Dervish Ali. His man-
ners were extremely flighty, and never, for a moment to
be depended upon. At one time he was praying and
dancing with the villagers, at another, he would get up a
quarrel with them. Having, one day, indulged a little,
lie became unwell ; upon which, although a dark night,
he put a candle into a paper-lantern, which he hung by
the bow of his saddle, and took himself off, across the
stony and deserted mountain districts, to Aleppo. He
was, however, notwithstanding his peculiarities, of great
use to the expedition ; and after it broke up, was em-
ployed by Captain Lynch. His end was melancholy—
having perished on the desert, between Damascus and
Baghdad."
