ful little-allegory that—pressed iOr space as we are—
we cannot resist the -temptation of quoting it :
, . As truth once passed On 'her pilgrim way,
To rest by a hedge-side, thorny and sere.
Few wanderers there she charmed to stay,

. . -
Though hers were the tidings that all should hear.
She, Whisperirro., sang, and her deep rich voice
Yet richer, deeper, each moment grew ;
And still, though it bade thecrow:l rejoi;
Iler strain hut a scanty audience drew.
But Rumour close bv, as,
she pluck'da reed
From a babbling brook, detained the throng ;-
With a hundred tongues that never agreed,
She gave to the Winds a 'mocking song.
The crowd with deligh.t.its echoes caught,

And closer around her yet, they dre%v ;
So wondr9US and wild the lore she taught.

They listenrd, entranc'd, the long day through.
The sun went down : when he rose again,
And sleep had beealm'd each listener's mind,
The voice of Humour had rung in vain,

NO echo had left a charm behind.
But Truth's pure note, ever mhispering cloar,
Wand'ring in air fresh sweetness caught ;
Then all unnotiet,d, it totieh'd the ear,
And fill'd with music the cells of thought.

TAITS MAGAZINE,

The recent .visit of 13oz to the United States has
furnished a writer in Tait with an excellent opportu-
nity of indulging his powers of good-natured carica-
ture, in a whimsical article,. entitled; " Duggins's
Impressions of America." This Duggins, who is no
other than Charles Dickens, is supposed to detail, to
an English traveller who has accidentally encountered
him in Yankee-land, the particulars of his tour through
the States—how he was feasted and flattered in New
York; gazed at as a prodigy on the shores of
the Niagara ; lionized in every town along the
banks of the Mississippi ; and, finally, how, tired
of being thus made a•publie show of, he ran off as fast
as his legs would carry him, to one of the most re-
tired parts of the country, where he wandered, quite
at his ease, over the vast rolling prairies of the New
World, Accompanied by Mr. N. P. Willis, and one or
two more poetical friends, till at length the whole
party were surprised by Red Indians; some .of them
scalped, tomahawked,
,and set fire to at a stake; and
others, among whom were 'Duggins and Willis, tat-
toed, and ultimatelyliberated,by their captors. The
whole of these fanciful adventures are related with infi
Hite humour, • and in the broad, rattling style of that
renowned veteran Sir Morgan O'Doherty. We quote
. .
the descrlptton of the roasting of the American poet
Bryant., and the'mock speech of the Savage:—
`` On the evening of the second day we reached the
Indian village. It was a hideous place. A circle of
wretched, squalid wigWams formed a sort & arena, in the
midst of which was planted the terrible war-post, with
a heap of resinous faggots at its base. Round it were
gathered the squaws of the tribe ; lean, cadaverous hags,
than whom Alecto must have been less revolting, and
lleclte more humane. Children,—very, very little
children.(!) quite naked, like imps of darkness, crawled
to and fro, contesting the possession of bones and half-
gnawed morsels with the surly and ravenous .dogs. Im-
potent old men, too, .sate cowering at the entrance of
their huts, shaking their withered hands and muttering
curses at us, as, bound and helpless in the middle of the
braves, we were led into the middle space, and made to
lie down upon the ground, whilst a war-counsel was
held around the pile.
" I'm a gone'coon, I know," said .Mullins Bryan.
"'They marked me when I shot their chief, the great
Bull-tuftle as they called him, and my life isn't worth
one of Willis's copyrights. But it's a. huckleberry
above my persimmon as to what they'll do with you ; •
and So' Duggins, if you geroff and return safe to New
York, don't fOrget to tell Congress, that -Mullins-Bryan
died like the American Byron, he is true, true to the
rale principles of' freedom, and an uncompromising
enemy of all emancipation !"
I will, I will," said. I, fervently ; " and I'll write
your epitaph "

" Bosh,L—you'll do it," interrupted Bryan,
mournfully. " But you'll not do it so well
as I could have. written your'n ; but that's past praying
for. only, if, yOu should, just keep out all mention of
• the very little ehildren, will you? in respect that there's
a 'tarnation black little imp at this moment a-biting of
my leg, and I can't heel him no how."
• " Great men will have their prejudices !"
"At last the savages rose. Brandishing:their toma-
hawks and sCalping-knives, they rushed towards us, and,
joining hands,•executed an extempore war-dance around
us,' to the music of the hicleouS whoop. That.over, an
aged, scarred, skeleton figure, father of the fallen chief,
stood forth, and spoke as follows :
" Children of the Chip-chow-cherry-chow ! listen to
the voice of your Sachem. Seven • times ten summers
have .passed :since Smack- whack-girnigo was young- ; tall
as a warliost ; spry as the mountain cat. His hand was
on the scalp of the Yenghese ; his foot on the trail of
the buffalo. When the squaws cried for meat he gave it
them ; his wigwam was full of rum. But years came
upon him, and his sinews were as weak as the skunk's,
The 'coon sate upon the gum-tree, and laughed as he
went by, and the father of the beavers was glad—
" But Smack-whack-girnigo had a son, and he was
of the braves. Who was so swift as Calipashawash, the
great Bull-turtle of his tribe ? When he smoked the
calumet of peace, his breath was like the cloud of the
morning ; when he raised the war-whoop, the leaves of
the forest fell. He filled his father's mouth 'with food.
He gave him the roasted rattlesnake, and the baked opos-
sum to: eat, and he made his heart glad with the strong
fire-water of the pule-face. But the Yenghese came to
the crooked river, •and drove the deer from the prairies ;
the beaVer heard them and fled. The redskins dug up
the war-hatchet ; they threw fire into the fort, and took
the scalps of their enemies. They came back to the
wigwams of their tathers, -but Calipashawash was not
with them,. and , Smack- whack-giritigo has a son no •
more !"

" Here the old savage paused, and the India:-.s yelled
reyengefullyovith a dissonance more fearful than that of
a chorus:at-Drury-lane.
"But the great Spirit is good. He loves the Chip-
chow-cherry:chow. My young men have trought two
pale-faces and Calipashawash shall not go to the far
Lunting-grounds alone. The death-song of the Yenghese
shall cheer him on his way. Let my young men light
the pile."
"Swift as lightning this horrid mandate was obeyed.
Thick jets. of smoke began to rise from the crackling
faggots, When the old man turned to ns.
" The pale-faces are two, said. he, " and death is slow.
My' young men love to look upon the burning of the
brave, and the moon is but newly risen. Which of you
will go first to the war-post and sing his death-song,
that the. hears of the Other may be glad ?"
"'Before I had time to speak, Mullins Byran,burst

out 1—

It my hands *ere free and a bowie-knife in them,
you !tarnation 'coon-faced nigger, I'd tickle your ribs
without, laughing. Howsomd'ever, I'm shot if I don't
dig like a free American ; and since the best singer's to
go first, I'm the'man to break the heart of a nightingale.
So kindle up your fires; you bloody critters, and do your
worst. Duggiuls, My lad, I'm sorrier for you than my-
self: .This' is sort o' nat'ral to a dOwn-Easter like me ;
but you're n strannger, and can't cotton to the business,
no how you can fix it. There'll beta& o' this on Broad-
was-, I reckon, anyhow. One comfort is, the President
will be us wrathy as a painter. His shirt won't hold
him, and he'll have them qa.rnal Nines lynched before
Six weeks arc over, or there's no gougers in Hoboken."

.„.
Mrs. Gore's tale of Abednego, the Money-lender,"
exhibits all that archness. -and vivacity of dialogue for
which this lady's fictions are so remarkable. The
sketch of Mr. Stubbs, the picture-dealer, is so like
life, that we can almost fancy we',know the man.
", Irish Treason in Paris" is the commencement of a
prose tale from the pen of Mr. Banirit The scene is
laid in the French capital, and the present chapter re-
counts the misfortunes of an Irishrnan who had es-
caped by flight the sufferings entailed on. all +those
who . had joined in the rebellion of 1798. The
",Song of May" contains. a few striking lines, but, as
a whole, the poem is. somewhat lackadaisical in
its tone. The "Story- of the Marquise de Gange"
is a 'deeply tragic narrative, founded on fact. The
events occurred in France during the reign of Louis the
Fourteenth, and havereference to the fate of a beau-
tiful and high-born Frenchwoman, who was murdered,
at the instigation of her jealous husband, under cir-
cumstances of unwonted barbarity.. Cases of this
atrocious character are frequently to be met, with in
the Causes Celebres. In " Tytler's History of Scot-
land" the,_ Reviewer speaks in terms of becoming re-
spect of titis sound and trust-worthy publication, ob-
seiwing,.and with truth, that the historian has "in
every case gone to the fountain-head; taking nothing
for granted, nothing at second-hand, and leaving no-
thing unexamined. 'This argues a degree of parse-
veranee, and of actual, time.-consuming .drudgery,
through which nothing save ardent enthusiasm in the
pursuit could have -carried an author. The results
are corresponding. We have a work valuable for the
primary quality of all history—authenticity, accuracy,
and fulness in the detail of facts."

MONEY and UOMNIER.UIA .NE
CITY, SATURDAY EVENING.
The markets gave way to,day on account of some sales in
Consali by the Hank, and in the new Three-atd-a- Half per
. Cents.. by the Chancery broker. • These only to a compa-
ratively trifling; amount were greater than the market could
• bear alter -the late' considerable rise. Opinion appears gene-
rally flavour of the idea that, the Bank is operating on
account of the Saving's Banks, and that further sales will
take place for these institutions. It is much to be regretted
that. the stagnant state in which business has been for sonic
time• vast strengthens the correctness of this supposition,
Numbers have been out of employ, and obliged to have recourse
to the sums previously deposited, and others, from the same
cause,' have been unable to lay anything by. Thus, the
managers, finding the withdrawals greater than the deposits,
are now obliged to fall back upon the Commissioners, and
hence the sale!.

i. Consols left off at 924 92k for Money, and 92k 92,3,- for the
Account ; Three per Cents. Reduced 91k 91k ; Three-and-a-

Up to one o'clock not a. single quotation appealed for the

The usual return of the quarterly average of the weekly lia-
bilities and assets of the Bank of England, for the twelve
weeks ending the 23d inst., when compared with the last re-
turn shows the circulation to have increased 283,0001., the dif-
ference between 17,235,0001. and 16,952,000/. ; the deposits
to have deceased 374,000/., the difference between 8,283,000/.

the difference between 21,891;000/. and 22,586,000/. ; and the
bullion to have increased 465,0001., the difference between
6, 590 OW. and 6,125,1)001. • the balance in favour of the Bank
is also less by 132,0001., the eifference between 2,970,0001.
and 3,102,000/. This return shows an increase in the circula-
tion of F 49,000/. ; in the deposits of 1,058,0001. ; in the bul-
lion of 1,952,000/. ; and a decrease in the securities of
184,000/., in comparison with the corresponding period of 1841.
Papers to the 2(1 March have come to hand from the Cape
of Good Hope. They are, like the last, completely destitute
of colonial news. A severe hurricane had been experienced
in the Indian Ocean, whereby three vessels had been chamasted,
and to seriously injured as to be obliged to put into the Cape
to refit.

They ridgee the discovery by an Fnglish whaler of several
islands in the Pacific Ocean, previously unknown. They were
eight in number, of some•extent, fertile, and inhabited. The
appearance of the natives and the canoes, &c., were totally dif-
ferent from any others in that neighbourhood.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 29.—The larg
business of the two preceding weeks has done nothing toward
placing the quotations at a higher rate. Directly the demand
became more moderate, as it did after Tuesday, the last Man-
chester market day, the whole class of middling quality of Ame-
rican became heavy, with a tendency to decline. The tales to.
day are from 3,000 to 3,500 bags, and although it is unneces-
sary to change the figures in the scale of prices, the geberal
duloess justifies the report of a worse market. The sales of the
week amount to 19,910 haled, of which 2,000 have been taken
on speculation, and 1,600 for export.
LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, APRIL 29.—The market
was firm, and closed well for South Western and South East-
ern. Eastern Counties, are quoted 9i, the New Debentures,

These are accounts, Moved for respectively by Mr. W.
Gibson Craig, Mr., H. Ilinde, and Mr. R. Hodgson, of
coals, cinders, and man), shipped coastways, and ex-
ported to foreign parts ; with the rates and amount of
duty charged thereon ;—of coals exported from the
United Kingdom from the sth of January, 1828, to the

It appears therefrom, that the total quantities of coal,
cinders, and culm, so exported to foreign countries and
the British settlements abroad, amounted, altogether, to
1,848,294 tons, the gross total export duties which were
received thereon being 12,0151. ss. 6d.
• The total quantities on coal brought coastways and
by inland navigation into the port of London during the
year 1841 amounted to 2,942,738 tons.
It further appears that the total quantity of coals ex-
ported' from the United Kingdom from the sth day of

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE.—The following no-
tice was issued on Monday 'last, by the Vice-Chancellor of Cam-
bridge ;—« Whereas, it has been represented unto the Vice-
Chancellor, that some students of the University have lately
resorted to a 'professional teacher of the art of boxing, con-
trary to the good order and discipline of the University ; we,
the Vice-Chancellor and Heads of Colleges, whose names are
underwritten, hereby order and decree, that if any person in
statu pupillare be hereafter found resorting to, or having any
e)rumunication whatever, with any such teacher of the art of
boxing, or be found attending any prize fight, he shall be liable
to the punishment of suspension, rustication, or expulsion, as
the case shalt appear to the Vice-Chancellor and Heads of
Houses to require."—( Signed by -the Vice-Chancellor and
Master.. )

THE GRAVE or ST. PATRICK.—The Dount Re-
corder, a Conservative paper, contains the following ac-
count of a very disgraceful Orange outrage :—" On
Tuesday night last some persons at present unknown,
entered the burying-ground adjoining the cathedral, and car.
tied off the headstone from the grave of St. Patrick. The
venei able relic of antiquity—which some affirm to be a portion
of the old market-cross, and others maintain to be of a much
older date—was found next morning at some distance from the
grave-yard, having been conveyed thither on one of the
machines employed in making the new road from this town to
Ballydugan. It has been removed from that spot, and placed
for safety within the catredral. The disgraceful act of
moving this head-stone—by whomsoever it has been
committed—cannot be too strongly rept ehentled. It is gene-
rally supposed to have been the work of some low persons
calling themselves Protestants, •and that their object was to
wound the feelings of our Roman Catholic brethren. The
persons who would be guilty of such act as to enter, Lt mid-
night, an enclosure consecrated to the dead, where their re-
mains should be allowed to rest in peace, and carry off there-
from a stone, however intrinsically valueless, which marked the
grave of the venerable individual who brought Christianity to
the Irish shores, ere the purity and simplicity of the primitive
faith was corrupted by the inventions of men—the persons who
would be guilty of such a disgraceful act, have no religion of
any kind—their conduct excommunicates them from every
Christian pale."
The Duke de Montpensier is to undergo .en exa-
mination by a special military jury, of which Marshal
Vallee is President, in order that he may enter the army
as sub-lieutenant of the Artillery. The young Prince
will he subjected to the examination imposed upon the pupils
of the Ecole Polytechnique. A grand banquet will, it is un-
derstood, be given to the garrison of Vincennes, in the wood of
'that place, on this occasion. '
Mr. and Mrs. Grote have returne•i to their residence in Ec-
cles-street, from a Continental tour.
