Mr. Gilfillan has discharged the important tasi
committed to his care ; the execution of which, if
continued as it has been begun, will deservedly
add to his reputation, while it will also confer a

valuable boon on the reading portion of society.
The sagacity and enterprise of the publisher in
originating and so creditably carrying through
this extensive undertaking are also deserving of
high praise and liberal encouragement.

Hogg's Instructor. Edinburgh.: James liog,g.
The number for November opens with a clever,
though rather cynical article on Sheridan, under
the title of '4' Modern British Orators." his from
the pen of the Rev. George Gilfillan, and bears in-
tuitive evidence of his mode of thinking, tinctured
also with his marked predilection for antithetic
writing. This is strongly evidenced by the following

ESTIM.LTE OF

SHEEIDAN'S CHARACTER

Sheridan ,came forth originally under the most un-
favourable auspices. He was the son of a ranting, strolling
manager—half elocutionist, half player—the most un-
fortunate of hybrids, whose memory now lives entirely
through Boswell, and through the gifted race who have
sprung from him. Young Sheridan had no patrimony—
not a shilling, indeed, all his life that he could call his
own. He had a very imperfect education ; although this,
indeed, was partly his own fault, for his master was Parr.
But he was forced, at the age of 18, through his father's
embarrassments, to quit school for ever; and then, with
nothing but his wits, and without money, credit, learning,
character, paternal prestige, or moral training, he was
flung a very orphan upon the world, to battle with or to
trick it as he best could. He had not the heroism or per-
severance to try the first : he determined on the latter ;
and, like Napoleon in his campaign of 1814—who gained
victories without an army, and made manoeuvres supply
the lack of men—Sheridan for forty-six years lived upon
stratagem, cajolery, cleverness, and impudence. His life
resembled French cookery, by the skill of which a nettle
or two, a bone or two, sometimes supply materials for
splendid dinners, and are made to feed large and hungry
companies. So Sheridan, without a sixpence, contrived
to spend thousands; without much original wit, passed
for the first comic writer of his century ; without any
political science, managed to embroil all the parties in the
country ; without an atom of imagination, got the credit
of being a genius ; with no conversational power, became
celebrated as a talker ; and with only the faculty of simu-
lating sympathy, was rated, as an orator, above Fox.

OCEAN STEAMERS.

AT the meeting of the Institution of Civil Engineers,
held a few days since, J. 31. Rendel, Esq., in the chair,
the discussion upon the paper on " Ocean Steamers," by
31r. Andrew Henderson, was commenced by quoting from
an article in the Edinburgh Journal, by Professor Tenant,
of St. Andrews, the dimensions of some of the large ships
built by the ancients ; whence it appeared that a ship
constructed by Ptolomcens Philopater was 420 feet long,
56 feet broad, and 72 feet high from the keel to the prow;
and was manned by four thousand rowers, four hundred
servants, and two thousand eight hundred and twenty
marines.

Hiero, King of Syracuse, caused to be built by Archias,
the Corinthian shipwright, under the supervision of Archi-
medes, a vessel which appeared to have been armed for
war, and sumptuously fitted for a pleasure yacht, and yet
was ultimately used to carry corn ; the dimensions were
not recorded, but as there were twenty banks of oars, and
three masts, the timber for the mainmast, after being in
vain sought for in Italy, being brought from England,
and the cargo was sixty thousand measures of corn, be-
vast quantities of provisions, &c., for the crew, the
^A exceeded those of any ships of the

dimensions mus

present day ; indeed, Hiero, finding that none of the sur-
rounding harbours sufficed to receive his leviathan, loaded
it with corn, and presented the vessel with its cargo to

TUESDAY MORNING, NOV.. 29,1853,

WITH the exception of the threatened reform of
the Reform Act, we have as yet received no fore-
shadowing of the measures which are to form the
business of legislation during the next Session of
Parliament, unless, indeed, Reform is to constitute
the sole Government business, and individual mem-
bers are to be allowed to indulge in their several
crotchets. There is, however, the question of
Education, "upon the introduction of which, last
session, Lord JOHN RUSSELL claimed for himself
more credit than he deserved. It is .a subject which
is hardly likely to receive a satisfactory solution,
involved as it is in peculiar difficulties. If it is to
be purely of a secular character, it will not, and
ought not, to satisfy the majority of the intelligent
public who consider religious instruction of the
first consequence, and which cannot be left as an
open question in any system of national education.
Again, if the religion of the State be made an
essential element, then the Dissenters are in loud
outcry about their claim to a share in State
endowments ; and, when this point has been con-
ceded, and the Government has surrendered its
right to decide upon what is Christianity, the
Romanists make their demand ; and a pliable Board
of Privy Council, not knowing, or pretending not
to know, where to draw the line, appropriate part
of the funds of the State to the propagation of
superstition and heresy. Under such circum-
stances, it is questionable how far any improvement
can be looked for at the hands of those who have
at present the direction of public affairs, and whe-
ther it would not be better to leave the question
in its present state until England shall have roe.

Mr. CLARKE, in a brief but eneiZetic speech, supported
the motion, urging upon the attention of the audience the
important work which the females might effect in promoting
the objects of the society.
Mr. 'f. WORRALL supported the resolution, and pointing
to the pictures elucidating the great historical events of the
refoithation which adorned the walls, and also to the portrait
of the Duke of Wellington, he exhortedthe audience to maintain
the principles for which their ancestors had so nobly fought.
H.e particularly alluded to the exertions of Mr. Taylor, and
other gentlemen on the platform, on behalf of those people.
Air. TAYLOR briefly replied, and the proceedings concluded
about half-past 10 by the singing of the National Anthem.

Next Summer, as soon as the Screw Steam-

STEAM COMMUNICATION will be established, by first-
class steamers, between LIVERPOOL and ANTWERP.
Goods will be received by these Steamers at Antwerp for
transhipment at Liverpool by the Steam-ships to the United
States; and the transhipment at Liverpool, as in the Com-
pany's Trade between Havre and Liverpool, will be free of
expense to the Goods.
It is not intended by the Establishment of this Line to cur-
tail in any way the facilities already possessed by the French,
German, and Belgian Shippers of Merchandise to America
from Havre, via Liverpool, but as an additional means for
the expedition of their Goods.

NEw YORK, Nov. 15.
STOCKS AND MosEL—There is a better feeling in the
Stock Market than prevailed last week, but the sudden
rise of stock on Monday is not fully maintained yesterday
and to-day. The returns of traffic on the principal rail-
roads continue to show an increase upon the receipts of
previous_ iyears. Bank shares are heavy, and the demand
light. There s a decided improvement observable in the
money market. Demand loans are freely offered at 7 per
cent., and rates of discount are lower, now ruling at from
10 to 12 per cent. per annum on first class bills. There
has been considerable business in sterling exchange, and
prices closed firm. We quote bills on London 9c. to 9-k
per cent. preen.; Faris, &c. f.5.12i to f.5.13i, 60 days, and

THE FALLEN L_EAVES

WE stand among the fallen leaves,
Young children at our play,
And laugh to see the yellow things
Go rustling on their way;
Right merrily we bunt them down—
The autumn winds and we—
Nor pause to gaze where snow-drifts lie,
Or sunbeams gild the tree ;
With dancing feet we leap along
Where witheed boughs are strewn.
Nor past nor future checks one song—
The Present is our own.

v•••••
We stand among the fallen leaves
In youth's enchanting spring,
When Hope (who wearies at the last)
First spreads her eagle wing ;
We tread with steps of conscious strengt
Beneath the leafless trees,
And the colour kindles on our cheek
As blows the winter breeze.
While gazing towards the cold grey sky,
Clouded with snow and rain,
We wish the old year all paas'd by,
And the young spring come again.

We stand among the fallen leaves
In manhood's haughty prime,
When first our parting hearts begin
To love " the olden time ;"
And as we gaze we sigh to think
How many years have pass'd

Since 'neath those cold and faded trees
Our footsteps wander'd last;
And old companions—now perchance
Estrang'd, forgot, or dead—
Come round us, as those autumn leaves
Are crwsh'd beneath our tread.

We stand among the fallen leaves

In our men autumn day,

_ .
And, tottering on, with feeble steps

Pursue our cheerless way.
We look not back—too long ago
Rath all we loved been lost ;
Nor forward—for we may not live
To see our new hope cross'd ;
But on we go; the sun's faint beam

A feeble warmth imparts ;
Childhood, without its joy, returns—
The present fills our hearts
