with English lace. If the crittur is sick, they give him Eng-

he learns to speak is English.' As soon as he begins to use
his trotters and run about, he has an English hat, shirt of
English linen, coat of English cloth, and shoes of English
leather. After that they send him to school, an' he writes
with an English pen made from an English quill by an English
knife, uses English ink cut of an English inkstand, and paper
made in your country, and ruled with an English pencil. , He
spells out of an English dictionary, and reads out of an Eng-

us as a poet, and procured for hint in the
lurahle reception for his admirable work,
" The Omnipresence of the Deity,"—a work which at once
raised him t~ that high distinction which, by his subsequent
writings, he has so well sustained. A contemporary then
justly remarked, that " this was a bold and daring attempt :
of his mental and poetical vigour for this arduous under-
taking no one who had read his Satire could justly entertain
a doubt ; but with many it was somewhat questionable, if he
could ascend that elevated region with a becoming grace, and
sustain his flight while soaring in the empire of infinity, and
contemplating the attributes of God." " The Satires" and
the " Night Thoughts" of Dr. Young, had, however, already
proved that it was more than possible for the same mind to
be engaged on topics so widely dissimilar, and his success
had demonstrated that there was nothing incompatible in
this diversified direction of the same poetical talents and
mental energies. Immediately on its appearance, " The
Omnipresence of the Deity" was bought up with the utmost
avidity, so that the unexampled number of eight editions
was sold off in the space of eight months, while the distin-
guished author was only then about twenty years of age.—
Nearly all the periodical publications of the day were loud
and unsparing in their praise of this truly magnificent and
splendid poem, but not a whit more so than its intrinsic
merits deserve. And if its celebrated author had never
written another line, be might safely have rested his fame

the mutineers had settled themselves there. It was stolen
from the American captain on the ship's passage from Juan
Fernandez to Valparaiso, and next made its appearance at
Conception, where it was purchased for thee doubloons by an
old Spaniard of the name of Castillo, who kept it in his pos-
session till his death, which happened lately at Santiago,
when his family sent it to Captain Herbert, to be conveyed
to the British Museum. It appears, on being taken to be
repaired by Mr. Monet, of Valparaiso, that it was in a com-
plete state of preservation, without the least mark of wear in
any part of it. The escapenient palates are rubies fixed to
the verge of the balance by screw collets. Mr. Monet speaks
in high terms of the beauty of the workmanship. The elfro-
nometer is five inches in diameter, with three dials on its
face, one for hours, one for minutes, and one for seconds,
with an outer silver case, made as the outer cases of pocket
watches were sixty or seventy years ago, so that its appear-
ance is of a gigantic watch. In winding it up it was usual
to pass the left arm through the opening for the face in the
upper valve of the outer case, in the manner of placing the
outer case of a pocket watch on the left thumb when winding.
A Chilian gentleman corning in one day, and seeing the case
thus suspended, exclaimed, " Que cosa para freer Huevos."
It is now on board the Calliope, and will, in all probability,
return to the place of its construction after an absence of so
many years, and that, too, without having circumnavigated
the earth by only the very small quantity of longitude be-
tween the most western meridian, reached by the Bounty in
endeavouring to double Cape Horn, and that of Santiago,
the most western meridian the chronometer reached in Chili.

COMPARATIVE SAFETY OF STEAM NAVIGATION.—
The number of miles navigated by steam vessels concealed
with the port of New York, in five years ending 31st Decem-
ber, 1824, was about 2,827,750, with an aggregate of 4,796,000
passengers ; of whom 38, or one in 126,211 lost their lives.
Twelve accidents occurred. During the five years ending
at the close of 1833, the estimated number of miles run was
4,216,200, with an aggregate of 9,419,700 passengers ; num-
ber of accidents, 5 ; lives lost, 62 ; or one in 151,931. Dur-
ing the five years ending 31st December, 1838, the estimated
number of miles run was 5,467,450 ; aggregate number of
passengers, 15,886,300; number of accidents, 2; lives lost,
8 ; or one in 1,985,787. The average number of miles to each
explosion, in the first of the above periods, was 235,646 ; in
the second, 843,240; in the third, 2,733,725. The estimated
average pressure of steam used during the first period was
7 inches ; second period, 14 inches ; third period, 18 inches.
It appears from the average results of this table, that, dur-
ing even the first period of five years after the navigation was
thrown open to public competition, the ratio of steam acci-
dents was only equal to one for more than 20,000 trips or
passages ; and that the average loss of life was only equal to
one for more•than 126,000 passengers exposed. Thus, at the
fair outset of this noble enterprise, a degree of safety was at-
tained for the passengers, such as may well challenge com-
parison with any artificial means of transit or locomotion
that have ever been resorted to by the human race.--('United •
States) Commercial Magazine.
TRADE WITH JAPAN.--We presume that Japan has not
been excluded from the contemplation of the government,
while the imposing spectacle of a British war fleet floats for
the first time on Eastern Asiatic seas. To establish a com-
mercial intercourse by peaceful means with that country—to
furnish its population in which they live, render European
manufactures almost necessary to comfort—who are ad-
vanced in civilization, and who, from long use, have accus-
tomed themselves to luxuries—is a grand national object.
Were that country thrown open to our enterprise, it would
he like the creation of a new nation of customers ; and the
achievement of this object, so devoutly to be wished for,
might, by an effort at this moment, be easily effected. It is
observed by Dr. Ainslie :—" With regard to the real diffi-
culties to be surmounted in the establishment of a commer-
cial intercourse with Japan, I consider them, so far as they
are founded in the character and political institutions of
the Japanese, to be of infinitely less importance than the
Dutch, from whose interested reports on that subject the
, idea generally entertained of them has been formed, would
represent them. I may add, that the Japanese appear en-
tirely free from any prejudices that would stand in the way
of a free and unrestricted intercourse with Europeans; even
their prejudices on the score of religion, on which such ex-
aggerated accounts are reported, are moderate and inoffen-
sive. The consumption of woollens and hardware might be
rendered almost unlimited ; they are fond of the finest spe-
cimens of glass ware, and it only requires to bring them ac-
quainted with many other products of British industry, to
obtain for them a ready. introduction." In reference to the
exclusion of foreigners, the reasoning did the policy of the
Japanese and Chinese governments appear to be founded on
the same basis—contempt, yet dread, of Europeans : their
contempt is founded in ignorance; but their dread is
founded upon a full conviction of their own Weakness. We
hope the government will not neglect the present propitious
moment, while so many officers of rank are in these seas, tit
obtain, by conciliating the Japanese, permission to resume
our commercial connection with that country : if the letter
to James the First is preserved in the State Paper Office, it
might be turned to some advantage in the negociation. The
latest attempt to this end was made under the auspices of the
East India Company, in 1813 ; and the profit on the adven-
ture was 42,126 Spanish dollars. The goods England might
supply to Japan would be—woollens, broad cloth of primi-
tive, not mixed colours, hardware, glass ware, carpeting,
printed cottons, ironmongell, Porcelain, leather, morocco of
the brightest colours, clock-work, fire-arms, lace, mock
jewellery, stationery, medicines, bottle corks, a few oil
paints, window glass, phials, pig lead, sheet lead. long ells,
looking glasses, figured muslins, catnlets, spy-glasses, rabbit
skins, and felt cloth.—lndian News.
