LADY MORGAN'S NEW WORE.

" The Book of the Boudoir" hps j let mad* :u apps r-
anee ; and a glance at it satisfies us that it is not an unworthy nseinher
of the same family u" O'Donnell." Lady hioaoas, of all ladles,
has an easy way of telling what she has to say ; and in the col
ketion of anecdotes before as, ber ladyship has succeeded In
making a book, which every lover of fight literature must Instead,
have in hi. hind..—We submit a few specimens

Mat.estaa —Cobbett and the Irish reformers look with detesta-
tion on Malthus and his doctrines; and many ° right thinking"
persons as they call themselves, fancy that they have discovered a
valuable ally in him. The same error is common to iamb. If Mal-
thus's position be true (and uo naturalist can doubt it.) it follows
as a matter of demonstration, and there is a greater necessity for
political freedom. The greater the obstacles panne oppo-es to
man's comfortable existence, the greater efforts ire required to
overcome them. and•the greater is the necessity that all his powers
should be drveir'm•d to the uttermost. Hitherto the animal has
been fully equa4% use task of self-•ubsistence, wherever bad go-
vernments have not interfered with the natural distribution of the
product. of industry, and quartered noble indigence upon plebeian
activity. Civilisation confers an increased power over the vie
menu, and a corresponding facility in manufacturing food ; but
unjust governments weigh down the labourer, and avail tbennelve-
of every impnevement to increase the lion's share of the product.
Malthus properly under.tood, is a powerful radical reformer.
C is Pannone —The earliest petition I know of, on behalf
of the Roman Catholic, is that addressed to James the First, be-
ginning. " Most Puissant Prince and Orient Monarch!" In this
petition the 'sufferers class their persecutors as being Protestants.
Puritans. and atheists. or polititians : a meddler in politics, in the.
days of the absolute Stuarts, was let down as an atheist.
VIEWS or WIZ CATHOLIC Quasnos.—" Let me send you some
turbot, said Mr. the other day at dinner, to a wen
known and respectable Irish Catholic banister.
" Turbot," replied the Papist counsellor. cattily, " 0! I sat ,

The Irish Catholics bate fish ; but are rigorous oba Teen of fasts,
and of all forms and ordinances imposed by a church. to which, as
much from a point of honour as of faith. they rigidly submit. How
many of the idle forms of church discipline will fill into desuetude,
will; that feeling of sympathy for the persecuted faith that imposed
tbAe ! a feeling which Catholic emancipation will cool down and
obliterate.

After this brief haslet', every topic under the sun it treated of
in these two volumes—from woman's love to viragos—from bad

books to legislative literature.

We are desirous to recommend to all who have any
respect or regard for polite literature, thukaines splendid perio-
dical,—the second number of which is now lying before us. The
contents of this work, u well as the style in which it is got up,
are of a superior order, and far aurae the ordinary internal and
external composition of our ephemera. We intended to make
ample extracts front this number to-day; but must postpone it on
account of a prow of other matter. We can only afford space for
the following extract from a critique on the Memoirs e Kr Duke
de Saint Masons—" a sort of literary curiosity, as they are perhaps
the only faithful record of the personages and events of the Grua*
Sleets, as it has been called by the partisans of absolutism." This
anec.lote refen to Pavia the Great :

" The Cur of Ru•sia had already commenced hls travels. Fame
has spoken so loudly of this Prince, that I think it necessary to
give a succinct account of so celebrated a perseaage—of one, whose
name will doubtless be handed down to the most remote posterity,
as having rendered formidable to the wheie of &rope a Court
which, properly speaking, never bad deserved the name, and a
people who, from their state of barbarism, were either despised, or
wholly unknown amongst the nations of the earth. Notwithstand•
lag that he observed a strict incognito, and aufered nu considera-
tions of rank or dignity to interfere with his object, he yet exacted
a suitable degree of rt-pect, which it was his pleasure to enjoy after
his own fas Mon.

" The Czar was secretly offended that England should not lave
judged it expedient to diaparcb an Ambassador to him now, espe-
cially that be was so near, and the more because be was extremely
=sinus for a commercial alliance with that country, provided the
terms could be arranged to his satisfaction. The expected Embassy
at length arrived ; the Czar, however, long delayed giving audience
to the Envoys for whose reception be at last appointed a day and
hour, but on board a large Dutch vessel, the construction pi' which
he was about to examine. Two of the Envoys found the place ra-
ther unsuitable. but there was no disputing the humour of the Czar.
Matters, however. were much worse upon their arrival on board
the vessel, when it was signified to them that the Czar was at the
mizen-top, and intended to grant then audience on that rather pe-
rilous spot. The Ambassadors, who, to use a seafaring phrase, bad
a goad deal of the land lubber in their composition, made their
respectful excuses. The Czar insisted, and the poor Ambassadors
were thrown Into the utmost consternation, by the obstinacy with
which he enforced his unaccountable whim. At length, from the
short and blunt replies returned to their repeated remonstrances,
they came to the conclusion that the Czar was determined to wit-
ness their agility in climbing the rigging, and dal+ ascordingly,with
much fear and reluctance, deckled upon making the dreaded exhi-
bition. On the elevated and rather narrow spot to which they at
length clambered, the Czarteceived them with as much majesty as
if be had been seated on his throne. He listened to their harangue,
answered in terms extremely littering to their King and nation,
and afterwards diverted himself with the terror still visible on the

countenances of the Ambassadors, to whom be intimated with a
hearty laugh, that the scene in which they had unwillingly figured,
was intended as a punishment for their tardy arrival."

PROGRESS OF THE ARTS IN FRANCE. Within
these twelve years France has made immense progress in almost
every branch of manufacture. A new discovery has been made in
printing, by which classical works, used in every country, need
only be set up once. Thus, if an edition of the classics be printed
at Paris, editions may be published in England, Germany, Hol-
land, &e. without being at the expense of a new composition. Be-
sides the advantages of cheapness, the test, once established, can
never vary, and the type is always new.
SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION IN GREECE, JUNE 21.- -
The members of the +cicadae commission ate all engaged in ex.
cortices. Coluael dory St. Vincent, accompanied by funs of hls
colleagues, Means. Vida, &menet, De Launay, and Bruit, has
succeededin travelling through Mains, where he was very well
received by all the chief+, especially by Captain Mourtaino+. He
took advantage of these favourable cis cum,tances to ascend
Mount Taygetus, which had never belore been done by any
known traveller. These Gentlemen after four days extreme fa•

tissue, and in spite of the snows with which Taygetus is still co-
vered, reached the summit, and were able comet!, to measure
the bigbe t mountain in the Morea. They are at present in the
heart of Arcadia ; and have measured Mount Lyceits and the
ancient Cotyllus. Messrs. Bonet, Dubois, and Amaury Duval,
with their assistants, are at Olympia, where wane excavations have
afforded them very satisfactory results. They have discovered a
temple, which they suppo.e to be that ot the Olympian Jupiter.
The length ot this monument appears to be g4O feet ' • the columns
art 21 feet in circumference. Al. Boulder, we of the members
of the PletlOD of architecture, came, a fortnight ago, to Modulo, to
ask of General Schneider for a supply ot tools to be able to con-
tinue, with more activity, the interesting dolls which they
intend to make.—Literary GastUr.
The following pleasing anecdote of GAINSBOROUG H
the painter is given in " Cunningham's Lives of British Painters :"
" One of his acquaintances, in Bath, was Washers, the public
carrier a kind and worthy masa, who loved Gainabotougb, and ad-
mired Lis works. In one of his landscapes be wished to introduce
a hone, and, as the carrier had a very handsome one, be requested
the flan of it for a day or two, and named Ms purpose : his ge.
Demos neighbour bridled it and saddled it, and Sent it ass present.
The painter was not a man to be outdoor in acts of generosity ; be
painted the waggon and horses of his friend, put his whole family
and himself into it, and sent it wen framed to Wiltshere, with
his kind respects. It is coosideted a very capital performance.
From 1761, when Gainaborough began to exhibit his paintings at
the Academy, till his removal from Bath in 1774, %Macre was
annually employed to carry his pictures to and from Loaders ; he
took great cargo( them. constantly refused to accept money, saying,
" N0....n0--1 admire painting too much," and plunged Ids Mods fa
his pocket to secure them against the temptation of the offered
payment. Perceiving however, that this was not acceptable to the
proud artist—the honest carrier bit upon a scheme which pleased
both. When you think (said be) that I have carried to the value
M a little painting, I beg you will let me have one, Sir ; and I shall
bemore than paid." In this coin the painter paid Washout sad
overpaid him. His son is still in possession of several of these
pictures, and appreciates their value • many of Gainabotoogies pro-
ductions were not so' worthily disposed of."

QUARTERLY AG It:CULTURAL REPORT,—G:IriL in-
tereilt now begins to be e tested regarding the probable productive-
tun of &gemming harvest. The very cold and wet weather ethic*,
prevailed during the greater part ut April rendered the latter part t,
of spring usfavemrabk to all :he crape, anal a calwaiderable part of
them, chiefly those on the colder clay.. suffered in a degree which
they have not site recovered. The tract at dry and wane weather

Muted ill a severe drought, which lasted till late in June, wheel
copious rains fen, and continued to MI to thr present time. The oats
and barley, though much restored by these Mos. may be terme4,
we believe, throughout the greater part of &Island. a likkt and
defective crop. Wheat has a more favourable appearance, thus*
the eases are eves y where numerous where it bas never recovered
the cheek which it sustained in the early part of the scamps.
Prices of grain for the last •hree months have net undergone mach
change. Considerable quantities of all kinds of corn have hewn
imported from abroad; but as nearly the whole of this has hew
ordered to bond it has not yet hems brought Into cut:wet:tom with
free corn, and so has not materially influenced the mai krt. At the
time we write there exists same excbensent animist the traders,
from an apprehro-ion that the heavy and steeping rains which have
been generally experienced may have injured the wheat crop while
is bloom, and laid it down when strong in the straw. Lawking to
the stock of free and bonded wheat in granary, and making an
allowance for what may fairtyhe.prearined to rem in in the hands
of the farmers, taking into contaeratioa the interval to elapse be-
fore the new crop can become available, and the necessary cou•
umption during this period, it Is probable that we shall reach the
supplies of the nest harvest with an snu•u ally small stock in hand.

affect the general body of the people; and we have known seasons
of bitter distress and transient prosperity re-pectively depress mil
elevate various portions of our couutryineu, particularly the pro-
ductive classes. But we must say, and we speak from personal
observation, that in no period of our editorial life have we ewer
known such general and such hopelesi distress as is now tape-
riesteed throughout ibis county, 'by all classes. except stipendiary
r and other public sod private anoskants. There is no
class of men connected with the centimes dal interests of the
rolostr:-. in which every individual (with such exception. only as
serve to establish the rule) does not feel himself poorer to-day
than be was yesterday. Trade seems at a stand still ; the bulk of
Ithe circulating medium is in comparatively large masses, there being
little temptation fur its empleynsent ; the ready money change of
the peop's is gone; wages are low in the extreme ; and employn:ent
at any wages can scarcely be had ; the poor are actually soffit log
want, and the middle and upper classes seem to despair of any
amendment Diminisi,ed prices and undiminished taxes have pro-
duced privation and mourning among producers; abundance and
joy only among recipients. Government can and ought to afford
relief and it would do so if the people were fairly and fully repre-
sented in that House which vote, the supplies. If this position to

Rev. TstiimAs PEARCE.
At noon, the Learned BARON proceeded to the Nisi
PriUS, and Mr. Justice PARKE to the Crown Court.
There was only one cause in the former, and thirteen
prisoners to be tried in the latter.
Stephen Gales, a respectable looking man, aged sixty,
was indicted for stealing a horse, the property of Thomas
Woodward, on the 17th of June last-a-Guilty—Death.
Thomas Hosier and James Grummett were indicted
for violently assaulting William Paynsby, on the King's
highway, and stealing from his person a quantity of
silver coin, his property.
Mr. Justice PARKE summed up the evidence, and re-
marked upon the depraved character of one of the wit-
nesses, upon whose evidence alone the prisoner Grummett
was implicated, and he thought it would be unsafe to
convict him without concurrent testimony. •
Notwithstanding this charge, to the surprise of every
one present, the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty—
Death ; at the same time expressing a belief that Hosier
is now insane.
TheJutto z ordered the Clerk of the Court to take two
special notes of this singular finding of the Jury.
