REFORMATION'.

Bow wonderful the present age,"
Cries Clara. pretty ?dilly—.
" For now Reform H all the rage ;
Who'd e'er have thought of this !
My sleeves I now shall lose.
Economy's the go,
And I shall wear pitinella shoes.
Whether I will or no !
" I heard Algoma, the other day,

Say all will menri their steps ;
That lords will now give over play,

And marrying demireps ;
Ladies will wend their manners toy,

Changing their present fashion,
Give up mazurka, opera, nnt
And rubbings a la Cashirs !
" Papa declares the House of Lords
Will first begin the thing,
Reforming wasteful idle words
And useless bickering;
That Londonderry will reform
His temper with his years,
Eat less cayenne, nor waz so warm,
With nurses and with peers !
" That Farnham will reform his tongue

From Catholic alum
That Ellenhorough, late and long,

7 "
Will govern his in use ;
For 'us a member little worth,

Till wisdom's prompting move it,
Thouah Eidno weep its merits forth,
Or Cumberland approve it :
" The Lower House will follow next,

And then our corporations;
Then lawyers, clergy, book and text,
And people of all stations.
It would be paradise on earth,
If such a thing could be,
The prisons changed to halls of mirth—
All would be blest but me t
For Captain Cary of the third
Seduced my heart away,—
In speeches soft his suit preferr'd,
Yet never named the day :
Ile left me—could such baseness be ?

%VIM protestations warm,
And never more retorted—eh me !
Who knows but he'll reform !"—Metropolitan.

PROGRESS OF LEARNED SOCIETIES.

GFOI.OGIC A L SOCIETY.--W. J. Broderip, Esq.
Vice-President, in the chair. A paper was read
on the Geology of Swan River and Garden Island
(Isle Buache), by the venerable Archdeacon Scott,
F.G.S. This memoir was accompanied by a series
of specimens illustrative of the general structure of
the country, and particularly of the modern calca-
reous formation which constitutes so great a portion
of the western coast of Australia. There was

likewise exhibited a new species of delphinula,
(d. lamellosa), which occurs in a recent state on the
beach of Garden Island ; and was also found foasile

in digging a well, on the main land one mile from
the shore, at the depth of eighty-four feet, imbedded
in the calcareous sand. The whole of this collec-

tion was presented to the society by Mr. Scott.
Roderick Impey Murchison, Esq. in the chair.
A paper was read on the Limestone Caves at
Wellington Valley, in New South Wales, and on

the situation near one of them, where fossil bones
have been found, by Major Mitchell, F.G.S. sur-
veyor-general in that colony.' This memoir was
illustrated by numerous drawings, and a large col-
lection of apecimens of the breccia, in which the
bones belonging to the wombat, kangaroo, koala,
dasyurus, and phalangista, were found. The whole
of this collection was presented to the society by
Major Mitchell. There was likewise exhibited
the tibia of a gigantic saurian, found in the Tilgate
strata by Robert Trotter, Esq F.G.S.
An extract was read from a letter of the
Rev. G. Greg, explanatory of certain subterrane-
one sounds occasionally heard at Nakoos, near Tor
in Arabia; and communicated by the president.-1
A paper was then read, " On some effects of the at-
mosphere in wasting the surface of buildings and'
rocks ;" by John Phillips, Esq. curator of the
Yorkshire Philosophical Society, &c.
At the next meting, the reading of a paper, en-
titled " Notes on the secondary formations of Ger-
many as compared with those of England " by the'
President, was commenced.
ROYAL SOCIRTY.—The meetings were resumed
this evening after the recess, the Duke of Sus-
sex in the chair. The reading of Colonel Pasley's
paper on artificial water cements was concluded.
There was also read a paper, entitled " On Me-
teorological Observations, made at the apartments
of the Royal Society," by J. W. Lubbock. Eq.
The Spanish Nautical Almanac, calculated for the
meridian and parallel of the Royal Marine Obser-
vatory at Cadiz, for 1833, was presented by the,
King, of Spain.
A paper was lately read, " On the errors in the
course of vessels, occasioned by local attraction,
with some remarks on the recent loss of his Ma-
jesty's ship Thetis ;" by Peter Barlow, Feq. Sir
M. A. Shee has been elected a fellow. I'rofessor
Buckland presented his work " On the occurrence
of the remains of elephants and other quadrupeds
in the cliffs of frozen mud in Eschscholtz Bay,
within Beering's Strait, and in other distant parts
of the shores of the Arctic searl.".
Papers were read at other meetings, " On nodal
lines of sonorous bodies," by Mr. Faraday ; " On
the effects,of hot water on the batrachia," by Dr.
M. Hall ; " An account of a new method of pro-
pelling vessels," by Mr. W. Hale, communicated
by Richard Penn, Esq. and " Additional thoughts
on the use of the ganglions in furnishing electricity
for the production of animal secretions," by Sir
Everard Home, Bart. Dr. Hall presented his
work, entitled, " Researches principally relative
to the morbid and curative effects of loss of blood."
Several other works were presented to the society.
Papers have also been read, " On the anatomy and
physiology of the minute and capillary vessels," by
Marshall Hall, Esq.
Los: DOW INSTITUTION.—Mr. Britton's fifth
lecture was lately given at this Institution, and
embraced same accounts, with numerous illustra-
tions, of -Christian architecture of the middle ages.
In tracing this original, picturesque, and greatly
diversified Blass of buildings through Italy, from
the time of Constantine the Great, the first Roman
Emperor who embraced Christianity, into the pro-
vinces of France, Spain, Germany, Normandy,'
and England, the lecturer condensed a mass of in-
formation within the -compass of a short lecture :
but it was evident that he was oppressed with the
multiplicity of subjects, and was therefore neces-
sitated rather to hint at than describe many of
them. With a series of about sixty drawings, be
pointed out the characteristic features of the round
churches and baptisteries of Rome; Jerusalem
Constantinople, Pisa, England—the lofty and'
highly-enriched tuwer4 of Germany—the spired
of that country, N:irin'andy, and England ; with

various fine crosses, chapter-houses, &c. Some
beautiful models were also exhibited.
Dr. Crotch gave his seventh lecture at the same
Institution the next day, and dwelt principally on
the sacred oratorio ofthe Messiah, by Handel.
ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY...-4.1211CiS
Bailey, Esq. V.P. in the chain—A communication
from the Astronomer Royal was rend on " the
obliquity of the ecliptic." The corrections hitherto
used in the calculation of the sun's declination were
by the tables drawn np by Bradley. Mr. Pona har-
ing found some small differences, has constructed
new tables, which were presented to the society
with the above communication. A paper was
read, " on the construction of glass lenses for achro-
matic telescopes," communicated by a French ar-
tist. The progress made in this art, and the extent
at which it has arrived, were detailed, as well as
the desiderata which were still required to render
it Eerfect.
ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY.--.W. J. Broderip .
in the chair. The usual report was read. Balance
in favor of the society, on last month's account,
was stated at 7691. There was an increase of

13851. daring the last quarter, as compared with the
corresponding quarter of last year. In the month
of March nearly 7,000 persona visited the gardens,
and upwards of 1,000 the museum. Amongst the
donations to the society were 500 East Indian
bird-skins, embracing about eighty different species,
presented by Mr. Heath, of Madras, to Mr. Vigor.,
and by the latter gentleman to the society. The
report farther stated that all the female kan-
garoos, presented by his Majesty, had produced
young; so had the Attie doe, and several
others. One of the Cereopis geese, which had
laid eggs early in the season, batched one ; the re-
mainder having been unfortunately frozen. These
are birds of the southern hemisphere, whose na-
tural time of breeding corresponds with the Eng-
lish winter • and it is an interesting speculation in
science, adds the report, to ascertain whether the
effect of climate may so far counteract the natural
impulses of this species, and of others of the same
hemisphere, as gradually to assimilate their period
of breeding to those of the species of our own
latitudes. Difference of temperature had a mani-
fest effect on the male Wapiti deer ; the one kept
warm at the garden having shed its horns six weeks
before those of its species at the farm, whilst the
rapid and almost daily increasing growth of the
new horns is obvious to every visitor. The Report
gave much atisfaction.
ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. -John
Barrow, Esq. V.P. in the chair.
Royal Premium.—The President and Coun-
cil give notice, that his Majesty's annual premium
of 50 guineas, for the year 1831, will be given to
the author of the best memoir, accompanied by
sufficient plans and views, which shall describe in
detail any important andi unpublished discovery
made by the candidate in any branch of geography,
provided that the same be considered worthy of this
distinction. The Council consider as coming within
the meaning of thiaproposition—a detailed account
of any excavation or research made by the candi-
date, the result of which is the establishment of
any lost site of antiquity, and the recovery of any
object sufficiently important to history, science, or
the arts.

The President and Council also give notice,
that his Majesty's premium of fifty guineas, for
1832, will be given to the author of the best work
transmitted to the Society, of the following na-
ture: A Traveller's Manual; containing a clear
ad concise enumeration of the objects to which a
geographer's attention should be especially di-
rected; a statement of the readiest means by which
the desired information in eacb branch may be ob-
tained ; a list of the best instruments for determin-
ing positions, measuring elevations and distances,
observing magnetic phenomena, ascertaining tem-
perature, climate, &c. directions for adjusting the
instruments, formulte for registering the °hewn-
tions, and rules for working out the results ;
adapted to the use, not of the general traveller
alone, but also of him who, in exploring bar-
barous countries, may be obliged to carry and
cften conceal his implements.
The President and Council further give notice,
that it is their intention at future periods to propose
the following as prize subjects :—An essay on the
actual state of geography in its various depart-
ments, distinguishing the known from the un-
known, showing what has been, and what remains
to be done, in order to render it an exact science ;
together with an indication of the best processes to
be adopted, in order to supply the several desi-
derata ; an extensive series of geographical tables,
with reference to authorities, showing the Tatham
names, written in the native language and charac-
ter, by which the same places have been known is
different countries, and at successive periods of his-
! tory ; the best mechanical inventions for facilitating
the acquisition of geographical knowledge, or ren-
dering it more available to the public. Under this
head may be included the simplification of Matra-
ments, more compendious methods of determining
positions, and all improvements in the art of draw-
ing and engraving maps, whereby their precialia
and distinctness may be increased, and piker
scope and expression given to what may be called
the language of topography.
But the great attraction of the evening was ashes;
notice from the chair, of the Messrs. Landers: Noma
journey in the interior of Africa. Mr. Barrow began
by saying, that, at one time, he bad hoped to be
able to lay a short paper on this subject before the
Society at its present meeting, with a sketch of
the route followed ; but having only obtained the
original documents that very day at four o'clock,
this was necessarily deferred. In the mean time,
referring to the map in Captain Clapperton's last
journey, he could state generally, that Mr. Leader
and his brother had landed at Badagrv' and pre.
ceeded, nearly in the track formerly -followed, ha
Boum on the Niger, and afterwards to Yowl,
which they found to lie considerably farther
north than is laid down in the map, als4
nearly west, as they were told, of Soccatoo.
They had thence proceeded up as far as the
river Cubbie, a considerable tributary which passes
Soccatoo, and another town to the eastward
called Cubbie, and falls into the Quorra, or Niger,
a little way above Youri ; and on this they had
embarked on their downward voyage. Shortly
after reaching Funds, the last point Laid down in
Capt. Clapperton's map, they found the river make
a bold sweep to the east, being here from five to
six miles wide, and in ether places it ins even
broader; it thence turned south-east, and, cirCled
round to south, receiving in its course another ac-
cession in the Shary, as it was called, a river from

three to four miles wide, coming from the east ; but
which must not be confounded with the river of the
same name visited by Major Denham, and which
falls into lake Tchad. (It is likely that the word
Shary, or some similar word, is a generic term for
river, water, or something of this kind, and'that
both these streams have their origin in high /and•
interposed between them.) After receiving the
Shary, the Niger is still further deflected, running
to the south and west, till at length it expands
into a considerable lake, from which the river Nun,
which Mr. Lander descended, and probably several
other rivers that enter the great bay of Benin in
its neighbourhood, issue at different points. In
descending the Nuo, which is not above 300 yards
wide, the travellers were attacked by a fu-
rious party of natives ; and, being taken
prisoners, lost all their effects, with some
portion also of their respective notes ; but,
providentially, what one was deprived of, the other
was enabled, to a considerable extent, to preserve ;
so that, between the two, the joint narrative is
nearl complete. From the point, then, where
Mr. Park first embarked in 1805, this noble river
has now been traced above two thousand miles, in
the very heart of Africa; and, in Mr. Lander's
opinion, it is navigable for a great portion of the
distance by small steam-boats. The natives, also,
in the interior, are eager to see more of us ; and
they are even already so far advanced in civilisa-
tion as to mike a trade with them worthy of pur-
suit. The greatest obstacles are the still existing
slave-trade near the mouth of the river, and the
hostile feelings which our attempts to put an end to
it have excited in the deluded population there.—
Palm oil is, as yet, the only other equivalent for'
their supplies which they have been able to
produce ; and they naturally look forward with
extreme dislike to the prospect of the market
for their other apd more valuable object of barter
being still further curtailed. They are, in a word,
the anti-machinists of the African world, and do
not like to see the demand contract for manual
labour.

Captain King's communication respecting the
geography of the southern extremity of America
was concluded at the next meeting, and some ex-
tracts from recent letters from Mexico read. The
object of Captain King's paper was, first, to exhibit
the extent of our eruct knowledge of the shores of
South America previous to his late survey of them ;
secondly, to give a general view of his own labours
and success ; and, lastly, to notice the chief parts
in the physical geography of those regions.
ROYAL AILIATIC ROCIET Y.—Sir George Staun-
, ton in the chair. • great number of valuable and
interesting donations were made to the Society :
amongst them were several curious Burmese mu-
sical instruments; also a carved chair from Ma-
lacca, which had been used by the Inquisition
wben the country was in the possession of the
Portuguese : these, and several MSS. were pre-
sented by Mr. Fullerton, late governor of Prinos
of Wales's Island. From Captain Rainer, R.N.-
several mineralogical specimens from ism In-
cluding a piece of the vocal statue of Neeassa;_
fragments from Mounts Horeb and Sinai; and a
fine mass of double-refracting spar from Shaikh
Eridi, supposed to be the Diamond Garden of the
Arabian Tales. From Captain Robertson, of the
Bombay Service, a coloured drawing or plan of an
Indian game called the Shastree's game of Heaven
and Hell, *gr. ipecimens of the dice and men used
in playing it. An account of this game was Nod.
It appeared to be founded upon some of the meta-
physical dogmas of the Hindoos, and was intended
to illustrate the progress of a soul from hell to
heaven I A letter from M. Jacquemont, commu-
nicated by Sir Alexander Johnston, was also
read. M. .Jacquemont has been sent to
India, es a naturalist, at the expense of
the French government. On the recommenda-
tion of Baron Cuvier be came to England pre-
,viously to his setting out, for the purpose of pro-
curing letters of introduction from the learned
here. He speaks in the highest possible terms of
the liberality and attention shown to him by every.
British authority in India. He dates from Ladakh,
in Tbibet ; and in a postscript he calls attention
to the philological labours of M. Coema de Kiiros,
a Hungarian, who has resided four years at Thibet,
for the purpose of compiling a vocabulary and
grammar of the Thibetan language, in which he
has succeeded ; and, at the date of this letter, he
was about to proceed to Calcutta with the fruits of
his labor. A letter from Captain Rainer was like-
mise read : it comprised a short account of an
avenue of sphinxes, discovered by him in the early
part of 1829, at Beni Hassan, in Egypt.—(Me-
tropolitan.)

PANORAMA OF THE BRITISH
EMPIRE.

BIRMINGHAd----777ZINAL, July 18.
In conformity with our promise a fortnight ago, and re. I
peatcd last week, we have this day Inserted a second and last
letter on the origin of Irish Distress, addressed by Mr.
Thomas Attwood, to the Editor of The Farmer's Journal,
in August of the year 1829.—The poor distressed Irish
Farmers and Peasantry, who, ten years ago. called them-
selves " Ribbon.naen," now call themselves " Terry Alt's"
—and " Lady. Clare's men," ike. These two letters were
put of a series of letters which Mr. Attwood published in
.116. Farmer's Journal, about ten years ago, in reply to
an attack which bad been made upon him in the
same publication, by Mr. Webb Hall, for ascribing
in some book which be had published, the fall of prices in
all kinds of agricultural produce (and, consequently, agri-
cultural distress') to the change then being effected by the
Government in the current money of the country, from de.
preened paper money to gold money, of mote than double
the value of the former ; instead of ascribing it to the-imps-
miens of foreign grain, to which it was attributed by Mr.
Hall and his disciples, and through their influence, by the
farmers generally, throughout the country. Time and ex-
perience are now proving which party war right. It deserves
to be remarked, that this letter is published in the some
u Farmer's Journal" that gives an account of the
Coroner's Inquest upon the late of Londonderry,
formerly so well hum as Lord CorlTiswgb. This unfsr.

New Guaantaws' Btu..—We exceedingly regret to
imessoce Met the deputation of guardians to Parliament,
in of this bill, have not succeeded in inducing the
Or IMe of the House of Commons as to the expediency
and impiety of having a popularly elected Warden for this
imy& The committee met for the first time on Friday week.
On ibs snivel of the guardians' deputation in London,
nada was received by their solieiter, Mr. Whateley, that
the street commissioners intended to oppose the progress of
die bill in its present shape ; but in consequence of the Jodie.
penithmar Mr. Haines, the solicitor to the commissioners, it
was *lusted that the bill going into a committee might be
ipostptsed until Monday. To this application it wu replied
that, as the opposition was limited to the warden and town
Hall clauses, the Committee would only proceed on Friday
with those parts of the bill which were unopposed; leaving
Ithe contested clauses, for the discussion of the Committee,
until Mooday. On that day, accordingly, the contest com-
menced. Messrs. Hill and Whateley appeared as counsel for
the bill, and Mr. IP:Wald( Pollock for the Street Com.
missisous. The Committee consisted of fourteen mem-
bers,
tor, as generally termed, the " Midland Com-
mittee" among whom were Mr. Lawley (Chalinuo), Sir
Grey kipwith, Sir E. D. Scott, Sir John Wrottesley,
Mr. Litt/eton, and other gentlemen connected with this
part of the country. The deputation ;of Guardians was
composed of blows. Scholefaki, Charles Jones, Knight,
Brown, die. The deputation of Commissioners consisted
of Messrs. Oiler and F. Lloyd. The lint clause upon
which a wrangle ensued, was that for the establishment of
schools for the education of the infants of paupers. This
proposition met, at first, with the most determined and un.
flinching opposition, not only from the Commons' Com.
mittee, but from Lek Shaftesbury, the Chairman of Com.
mittens in the House of Lords. Ultimately, however, the
clause was allowed, and passed. The grand struggle took
place on the clause for the election of a Warden ; but, in
Justice to the discretion and prudence of Moos. Osier and
Lloyd, we should state that, during this wody affray, they
stood "spent spectators of the tight." Their only business
appeared to be the honourable duty of " ear-wigging" the
Members. The chief grounds of objection taken by the op.
sin7members of the Warden clause (of whom Sir J. Wrot.
and Mr. Littleton, the customary guests at the High
ff's feast', were the leaders.) being—the ancient origin
of the Conn last—the long period for which the High
Bailiff had been "the medium of conveying the public
mind"—the objection which Parliament had to interfere with
old hudtstions-..and lastly, the still stronger objection the
lailastine aitatalned to the multiplication of public or
hual4llllses. The clause was ultimately mimed by am-
idlevel& inshority. The High and Low BOLA will new,
demise, for the present, be made the remain officers
easier the reform bilL As, however, as was very correctly
observed by Mr. Jones before the Committee, the reign of
the Court Lee must be abort, the predominance of such a
close and self-elected body having no communion of feeling
with the public—derided and laughed at by all parties, ex-
cept its own--cannot be expected to last long.
Thursday last the Returns of the population of this town
were presented to the meghterates at the Police Office, and
sworn to by the respective parties.

The newspaper stomp duty, and the duty on advemr,,,
meats, we now hear nothing about. Why is it minister,
have not stuck to their resolution in this particular ?
Is one of the ftrial, which, above all others, may be rellueta
with advantage. The sale of papers would be ciusulrupkt
and the number of advertisements would be more than doublet
All the members of our present government, Lord Btough,

dead by overwhelming taxation, the monopoly of land, sad
the corn laws, to a bare potatoes and salt existence, Cannot
DOW scrape up enough amongst them to purchase one weekly
paper, and the small traders are obliged to club together
for this purpose; whereas, were this tax reduced or remove;
the former would be enabled to read a paper occasionally,
and the latter would never be without one. The advantages
which would result from this, we should be going era
beaten ground were we to attempt to prove, and that the me.
nue would not be lammed by it, is too obvious to require peel.
With respect to advertimments, the tax is an evil of pea
magnitude. To the publishers of books, to agents, lee,
nearly prohibits the use of the only means of publicity. 11
a person has property to sell, the tax-gatherer meets him it,

as a fire. This is no longer metaphorical, taxes, sod lours

are not a sufficient drain, but he who sells cannot make it
known without a father all for advertisement duty ; the
consequence is, that an advertisement, instead of appearing
ha the public journals three or four times to meet the eye
him who will give the best price, is inserted only once or not
at all, and the auction often proves abortive for want of a
purchaser, when there may be hundreds, who would readily
purchase, absent through ignmanos of the tin-omit:wee.
—With respect to bosses, how many are there in this
city—the owners of which would readily adverlise them, it
they could have .r. Insertions fur a guinea, but will not pay
double and treble that amount, sad, therefore, do mot ohm
the at all, because one advertisement seldom erects the ob.
jct. Look for a comparison to America, there are ten papers
where we have me, all filled with advertisements. Should
the reduction of the stamp and adverUssmest duties not be
