SELECTIONS.

SCENE IN THE THEATRE, HOBART TOWN.—Mrs.
Clarke has adopted an excellent method of preventing
blwkguardisit in the boxr.s of her th•atre, and it says
much for tue " lower orders," that it is found in no other
part of the hou-e. On Monday eveni,g, four drunken
blackguards, who had as.umed the chtvacier (masquerad-
ing is all the feshi,m) of g'nflemen, not only annoyed the
audience and I t r lily stopped the performance by their
continued int( riulition, but carried their blackguardism
(we can find no other appropriate word) to the highest
pitch, by throwing a potato at Mrs. Clarke, when in the
middle of ore of her fine-t .nnits. The s, irited lessee then
being in the " costume" 07 Maeheath, wi h the whip in
her hind, without a mot, e it's delay, went round to the
box. and whipped the tat Icznalds out! It was well done.

lie at the door of the pharasee—he is industrious and
energetic, and renerous in the use he makes of his accumu-
lated wealth. Cowardice is not the characteristic of the
Rajpoot, nor can the educated class be accused of the in-
difference to truth or the indulgence of strong prejudice.

Mn. MONTAGUE'S MURDER.—A 9 the sunlight died

which stretched across his path, he s'owly disappeared.
At intervals a narrow opening showed him passing on, or
the sharp cracking of some tender branch denoted where
he went : then he was ven or heard no more. Never
more beheld by mortal rye, or heard by mortal esr : one
man excepted. That man, p irting the leaves and branches
on the other side. near where the path emerged again,
came leapii.g nut soon afterwards. What had he left
within the wood, that h- sprang out cf it, as if it were a
bell! The body of a murdered man. In one thick soli-
tary spat, it among the last year's leaves of oak and
beech, joy as it had fallen headlong down. Sopping and

WHAT IS THE. BEST VIEW FOR A. SICK ROONII?
What, is the best kind or view for a sivk prisoner's
dows to command ? I have chosen the sea, and ant satis-
fied with my choice. We should have the widest expanse
of land or water, for the sake of a sense of liberty, yet
more than for variety ; and also I”cau-e then the in-sti-
mable help of a telescope may be called in. Think of the
difference to us between seeing from oar sofas the
width of a street, even if it be Sac, ville-street, Dub-
lin, or Portland-place, in London, and thirty miles of sea
view, with its long boundary of rocks, and the power of
sweeping our glance over half a countq. by means of
telescope! But the chief ground of preference of the sea
is less its space that, its motion, and the perpetual shifting
of objects caused by it. There can be nothing in inland
scenery which can give the sen,•e of life and motion and
connexion with the world like sea changes. The. motion
of a waterfall is too continuous—too little varied, as the
breaking of the waves would be, if that were all the sea
could afford. The fitful action of a windmill, the waving
of trees, the everchanging aspects of mountains are good
and beautiful; but thtre is something more life-tike in the
going forth and return of ships, in the passage of
and in the never-ending variety of a fishery.—EBB

DISEASES IN INDIA.—The diseases most common to

India are fever, dysentery, liver complaints, and cholera
morbus. These annually sweep away their tens of thou-
sands, the latter disease baffling the skill of the most emi-
nent physicians, and leaving even the theory of its cause
enveloped in doubt and uncertainty. But there are a
multitude of other diseases peculiar to the country, though
less fatal in their general results. Elephantiasis, or the
swelling of the leg, is common to the natives in every pro-
vince. In the hilly districts, goitre is very prevalent, arid
ophthalmia afflicts myriads in the upper provinces, whet e
the soil is sandy and the people careless of their persons.
Leprosy is often seen in its most hideous form ; and rheu-
matism counts its victims amongst its thinly clad, and ex-
posed poor during the rainy season. Piles, ulcers, infla-
mations, and a peculiar eruption, popularly called prickly,
heat, are extremely prevalent, particularly amongst Euro-
peans, whose habits of lite are less regulated by climate
than consists with a proper regard to health and longevity.
Influenza and disease of the lungs sometimes make de-
mands upon the leech's skill, but they do not present
themselves in the formidable guise which distinguishes
their appearance in more northerly regions ; neither do
hooping-cough, the measles or other complaints. afflict in-
fants so severely as the same maladies in England. Still,
the mortality amongst the newly-born is considerable,
in some measure from convulsions, teething, lever, &c ,
but more commonly from the ignorance of midwives, and
the carelessness, if nothing worse of native nurses. Small-
] pox was a terrible scourge to the population of Hindos-
I tan : but its ravages are now diminishing, thanks to the
philanthr,phic exertions of the medical officers in the
Easf.lndia Company's service, who have zealously labour-
ed to introduce vaccination.—Seocqueller's Hand-Book
of India.
FRUITS or PROTESTANT MISSIONARY EXERTIONS
IN IRELAND.—Let any one who wishes to know what
may be done by judicious exertions to increase the num-
ber of our Protestant population, inquire what has been
done in Mr. Preston's inter-sting colony in the county of
Kildare. Of the heroic enterprise of Mr. Naugle at
Achill our readers are sufficiently aware, and of the as.
tonishing fact, that in that extreme part of popish Ire-
land the labours of the missionary have been blessed to
so extraordinary a degree, that an additional church has
been lately required for the accommodation of the increa-
sing converts. And there has been just put into oar
bands a report from the D ngle Colony, in an extreme
part of the county of Kerry, from which we Make the
following extract :—" The number of converts in Dingle,
in January 1843, was 310 individuals. The number of
converts in Dingle, in March, 1844, was 330 individuals ;
73 families. Attendance at the school in Dingle now,
children 180; on Sunday, adults 130. At Keelnielchedar
there are converts 80. Children at Keelmelcherlar school
41. At Dunerlin, converts 50. Children of Dunerlin at
school 28." Such is the work which is now going on in
every part of this country, and to which "a heavy blow
and great discouragement" has been given by a system of
policy which strengthens the hands of an unscriptural
priesthood by legislative encouragement and temporal aid,
exactly in proportion as that authority is fading before
the progress of truth and knowledge! God says of
popery, "It shall decrease." " No," says the British
legislature, "it shall increase." God says, "The circle
of light shall gain upon the circle of darkness." " No,"
says the British parliament, "the circle of darkness shall
gain upon the circle of light." Is there any other• lan-
guage in which, with our convictions, we could convey an
adequate idea of the perverse policy by which the domina-
tion of a tottering superstition is maintained, and the
labours of evangelical men marred or counteracted in
Ireland?—Dublin University Magazine.
KINDNESS IN CONVERSATION.—There is no way in
which men can do pod to others, with so little expense and
trouble, as by kindness in conversation. " Words" it is
sometimes said, "cost nothing." At any rate, kind words
cost no more than those which are harsh and piercing. But
kind words are oftenmore valued than the mostcostly gifts—
and they are always regarded among the best tokens ofdesire
to make others happy. We should think that kind words
would be very common, they are so cheap; but there are
many who have a large assortment of other language
except kindness. They have bitter words, and witty
words, and learned words in abundance ; but their
stock of kind words is small. The churl himself,
one might suppose, would not grudge a little kindness
in his language, however closely he clings to his
money ; but there are persons who draw out their kind-
ness with more reluctance than they draw their purses.
Some use granting words because they are of morose
disposition. Their language, as well as their manners,
show an unfeeling heart.—Others use rough words out a
an affection of frankness. They may be severe in their
remarks—but then they claim that they are open and in-
dependent, and will not he trammelled. They are no
flatterers, they say—and this they think excuse enough
for all the cutting speech which they employ. Others
wish to be thought witty—and they will with equal indif-
ference wound the feelings of friend or foe, to show their
smartness. Some are envious, and cannot bear to speak
kindly of others, or to them, because they do not wish to
add to their happiness. Others are so ill-bred that they
take delight in using unkind words, when their intentions
are good, and their feelings are warm.- Their words are
rougher than their hearts—they will make sacrifices of
ease and property to promote comfort, while they will not
deign to employ the terms of courtesy and kindness. Of
those, the Scots have an expressive proverb, that " their
bark is worse than their bite." Many a man would be
loved for his liberal deeds, if his tongue, by his harshness,
did not repeal affection. And he oft-n wonders why his
friends care so little for him, when from r thers they receive
not half so mail favours. Some ar- caustic and severe
in their language, for the sake of showing their acute:
ness and discrimination. They would rend in pieces a
cloth of gold, detect a defective thread vOlich had escaped
the less keen observations of ethers. They are always on
the watch to spy out some fault in character, or in disposi-
tion, which others overlook, that they may appec.r to have
uncommon discrimination and rare skill in criticism. If
the happiness of others is not motive enough to their influ-
ence on ourselves, the habit of using them will at length
conform our feelings to our language, We shall become
kind, not only in our speech, but in our manners, and in
our hearts. On the other hand, to make use of carping,
harsh, and bitter words, seldom fails to sour the disposi-
tion and to injure the temper.

SERGEANT TALFOURD.—ThOMRS Noon Talfourd is a
native of Reading. His mother was the daughter of
Mr. Thomas Noon, who was for thirty years the minis-
ter of the Independent congregation there. Accordingly
he was instructed in their strict tenets, and his early edu-
cation was obtained at their school at Mill Hill ; but
being removed to the puhlic school under Dr. Valpy, he
there acquired a love of Shakspeare and the drama—for-
bidden ground to his native sect—aud soon adopted the
less rigid doctrines of the Church of England. At the
same time he acquired those ardent political feelings,
which, tempered by time, he has always since maintained.
His poetical talent was developed early. In the year
1811, while still at school, he published a volume entitled
Poems on various subjects.' The subjects are interest-
ing, as evincing the character of his thoughts at this early
period. One of them, entitled On the Education of the
Poor,' and another, The Union and Motherhood of
Mankind,' obtained for him the acquaintance of Joseph
Fox, distinguished for his zeal in the cause of education,
and his new friend introduced him by letter to Lord (then
Mr. Henry) Brougham. He was received by that dis-
tinguished individual with the utmost kindness, and en.
couraged to work his way at the bar through literature.
Following this judicious advice, he engaged himself in
1813, to Mr. Chitty for a period of four years. The
literary career of the young lawyer began with an essay
published in the ' Pamphleteer,' early in 1812, entitled
An appeal to the Prot •stant Dissenters of Great Britain
on behalf of the Catholics.' This essay was eloquently
written, and breathed a spirit of liberality, such as is
denominated, Christian.' Talfourd was then under
eighteen. A Critical Examination of some objections
taken by Cohbett to the Unitarian Relief Bill, was a very
successful attempt to grapple with a writer of such sin-
gular power. • Observations on the Punishment of the
Pillory,' and An Appeal against the Act for regulating
Royal Marriages,' took the aide of humanity against bar-
barous custom and mistaken notions of national policy.
An ' Attempt to Estimate the Poetical Talent of the
Present Age,' written in 1815, is chiefly remarkable as
testifying his high appreciation of the poetry of Words-
worth, (at a period when such testimony was sufficient to
ensure almost universal ridicule), and scarcely less so for
the courage with which it denounced toe gloomy exagge-
rations of Lord Byron, who was then in the full blaze of
Spirit of the Age' was not
his popularity.
published till ten years afterwards. Mr. Talfourd was
probably the very first who publicly declared, on critical
grounds, that William Wordsworth was a true poet. * *
In 1817, Talfourd started as a Special Pleader. During
his period of study he had assisted Mr. CI itty in his vo.
luminous work on the Criminal Laws. The chief quar-
ters in which he carried on his literary labours, were now
in the " Retrospective Review,' and the Encyclortedia
Metropolitan.' The articles on 'Homer,' on the Greek
Tragedians,' and ' Greek Lyric Poets, in the latter were
written by him. He began his c•innection with the' New
Monthly' in 1820, and continued to furnish the dramatic
criticisms, besides other papers, in that magazine for
the
twelve years. He subsequently wrote in Edinburgh.le

THE AMERICAN CODE OF HONONE.—The American
system of duelling is quite different from ours. andiar
more consistent aed ra tonal : they never think of apolo-
gies on the ground, or firing in the air, or seperating after
a harmless interchange of shots, which,
in England,
throw an air of absurjty over most proceedings of the
kind. In America they " mean business," not child's
play, when they fight duels, and never seperate till one is
killed or wounded. The usual plan is to fire at ten paces.
and to advance one pace each shot till the desired effect
is produced (the newspapers gave an account of a duel
where the parties ffred six times each). The challenged
has the choice of weapons; and pistols, muskets, or
rifles are usually selected. Not long since a well-known
individual, who, I see, figured as second in an affair that
took place abou a month ago, challenged another man
who had objected to his vote at an election for
personation ( which, of course, involved a charge of
perjury,) to walk arm-in-arm from the top of the
Capitol with him. As this was declined, his next
proposal was to sit upon a keg of powder, and apply a match.
However, in this country, these were considered rather
strong measures; and through the media ion o, pacific
friends, it was. at length amicably arranged that they
should fight with muskets at five paces. Each piece was
loaded with three balls, and of course both parties were
nearly blown to pieces; the challenger, however, unfortu-
nately recovered, and is now ready for fresh atrocities.
Of course such a case as this is rare; but I think I am
right in stating that a bloodless duel is almost unknown.
—Godley's Letters.
PROPOSED ENCOURAGEMENT TO CULTIVATE WASTES
IN IRELAND.—Adjoining mountains and bogs, where the
poorest class of the population g-ierally reside. and where
there is abundance of ground attached rent free to each
farm, and capable of being rendered profitable at a very
little expense—in fact, without any other ontl ty than the
labour required to open drains, and level it—we see
scarcely any efforts made at improvement. A Scatchman,
or an Englishman, would consider the possession of the
land rent-free for three or five years. according to the dif-
ficulty of the undertaking, as a sufficient r-compence fur
his trouble ; although his time is much more valuable, on
account of the higher rate of wages paid him. But an
Irishman will consider a • twenty-one years' lease as too
short a tenure, to justify him in expending the time which
he wastes in gossiping with his neighbours. or sunning
himself at the hacks of the ditches, in the profitable em-
ployment of adding to what ought to he, if he had in-
dustry, his already too small hol ling. Here is a case in
which we conceive legislation might operate much good.
If every man who reclaimed ground which did not before
pay rent, was guaraateed its possession by law for ten
years after the first crop, at .a nominal rent of one shilling
the acre, it might he an inducement to the tenant to la-
boor: it could he no loss to the landlord, as, if still left
in a state of nature it would be usele,s to him, and a'ter
the expiration of the time guaranteed the tenan as remu-
neration for his trouble, the h.nefit w uld be his exclu-
sively. In the case of a tenant-at-ails, an arrangement
could easily be effected, by which the tenant, if removed
from the farm before the expiration of the stipulated
term, might receive a just and reasonable compensation
for the improvements which he hold effected, or an allow-
ance tor the 10-s of the crops which, ha,l he remained, he
would still have been entitled to: and thus, without any
government outlay, encouragement would be given for the
reclamation of that part of the Irish waste lands which
would be worth the trouble or expense of cultivation.—
Blackwood.

EFFECT OF SCRITTUIFtAt Ebt/CATION.—The following
most touching incident w:.s related by the Dean of :fork,
with a view to the practical illustration of this part of the
national system :—** About four years ago an ten odiy
Protestant, from a neighbouring parish, sent his child to
his (the Dean of Cork) Scriptural school, about three
miles from Bandon. After some time the father told the
master not to teach the child the Scriptures, wi he wished
that he should devote his whole time to arithmetic. Wben
the parent found that his request would not be acceded
to, he sent his child to a hedge school. Finding that the
child did not improve in arithmetic, he sent him back;
and it pleased God that. besides advancing in the other
branches of education, he made such a happy progress in
the Scriptures, that they were spiritually West to his soul.
It so happened, after a short time. that the child, by a
fall from a cart, had a limb frartur-d, which he survived
only thirty hours, having died at a lodging-hartse in Ban-
don. Believing death to be near, he sent for his father,
that father who had owe directed that he should not read
the Scriptures, and said to him, 'Father; the Scriptures
I was taught at school were blest to my soul. lam now
dying happy, fur I know I am going to my Saviour ; but,
father. I have a parting rilne.t, which is, that you wiL
daily read the Scriptures, with prayer to God to bless
them to your sal; ation ; for rememberrfather, eairng our-
selves Christians. and saying we believe in Christ, will not
save us. No. We mast have that faith in Christ, which
is wrought by the Holy Spirit in our souls, and which
alone can convert us, arid bring us to heaven.' The poor
father was so overrow, red by the dying request of his
child, that his opposition to scriptural education gave
way ; and the evening of the funeral he sent one pound
to tha school, a. a testimony of his gra'itude that his
child had been taught the word of God there, and died in
such a happy state. Now, would any Christian person say
that the request the father of that child had once made
should not have been acceded to ? Surely not."—Dublin
University Magazine.

Tuz VALLEY OF Mexico.—COneeiVe yourself placed'
on a mount4in nearly two thousand feet 'those the vatey,
and nine thousand above the level of the sea.- A sky-
above you of the most perfect azure, without a cloud, and
an atmosphere so transwrently pure, that the r'motest
objects at the distance of many leagues are as distinctly
visible as if at hand. The gigantic scale of every thing
first strikes you—you seem to be looking down, upon a
world. No other mountain and va ley view has such an-
assemblage of: features, because nowhere else are the
mountains at the same time so high,, the valley so wide, or
filled with such variety of 14nd and water. The be—
neath is exceedingly level, and for two hundred miles
around it extends a barrier of stupendous mountains, most
of which have been active volcanoes, and are now covered
some with snow, and some with forests. It is laced with
large bodies of water looking more like seas than lakes—it
is dotted with innumerable villages, and estates, and la ‘•
tations • eminences rise from it which, elsewhere, would
be called mountains, yet there, at your feet, they seem but
ant-hills on the plain ; and now. letting your eye follow
the rise of the mountains to the west, (near fifty miles
distant,), you. look over-the immediate summits that wall
the valley, to another and more distant range—and to
range beyond range, with vallis between each, until the
whole melts into a vapoury distance, blue as the cloudless
sky above you. I could have gazed for hours at this little
world while the sun and pas.ing vapour chequered the
fields, and sailing off again, left the whole one bright mass
of verdure and water—hinging out clearlv the domes of
village churches studding the plain or leaning against
the first slopes of the mountains, w. th the huge lakes
looming larger in the rarefied atmosphere. Yt t ne thing
was wanting. Over the immense expanse there seemed
scarce an evidence of life. There were no figures in the
picture. It lay torpid in the sunlight, like some deserted
region where na'ure was again beginning to assert her
empire—vast, solitary, and inelarichely. There wire no
sails—no steamers on the hikes, no smoke over the vil—
lages, no people at labour in the fields, no horsemen,„
coaches, or travellers, but ours,,lves. The silence was al-
most supernatural; one expects. to hear the echo,of the
national strife that filled these plains with discord.still
lingering among the hills. it was a picture-of still life,'
inanimate in every feature, sate where, on the distant
mountain sides,, the fire of some poor coal-burner mingled
its blue wreath with the bluer sky, or the tinkle Of the bell
of a solitary muleteer was heard from among the dark and
solemn pines.—Mexico as it was and as it is.
Loan ELLENBOROU GIL—No former Governor-Gene-
ral of India entered on his office—at all times the most
arduous under the British crown—under such unfavour-
able auspices, and with such a complicated accumulation
of diffintlties to combat, as Lord Ellenborough ; few. if
any, of his predtcessors have had their actions, their mo-
tives, and even their words, expos-d to such an un-
sparing measure of malicious animadversion and wil!ul
misconstruction ; yet none have passed so triumphantly
through the ordeal of expefence. Many of his measures
may now be judged of by their fruits; and those of the
Calcutta press who were loudest in their cavils, compelled
to admit the success which has attended them, are re,
duced to aim their censures at the alleged magniloquence
of the Governor-General's proclamations : which, it
should always be remembered in England, are addressed
to a population accustomed to consider the bombast of a
Persian secretary as the ne plus ultra of human compo-
sition, and which are not, therefore, to be judged by the
European standard of taste. Much of the hostility di-
rected against Lord Ellenborough, is, moreover, owing to
his resolute emancipation of himself front the bureau-
cracy of secretaries and members of council, who had
been accustomed to exercise controul as " viceroys over"
his predecessors, and who were dismayed at encountering
a man whose previously acquired knowledge of the court-
try which he came to govern, enabled him to dispense with
the assistance and dictation of this red tape camarilla.

Loud were the complaints of these gentey at what they
called the despotism of the new Governor-General, on
finding themselves excluded from that participation in
state secrets in which they had long revel-d, in a country
where so much advantage may be derived from knowing
beforehand what is coming at headquarters. But much
of the success of Lord Ellenborough's government may be
attributed to the secrecy with which his measures were
thus conceived, and the promptitude with which his per-
sonal activity and decision enabled him to carry them in to
effect—success of which the merit is thus due to himself
alone, and to the liberty of within which he obtained by
shaking off at once the etiquettes which had hitherto
trammeled the Indian government. In July 1842 we
ventured to pronounce, that "on the course of Lord El-
lenborough's government will mainly depend the question
of the future stability, or gradual decline, of our Anglo-
Indian empire ; and if, at the conclusion of his vice-
royalty, he has only so far succeeded as to restore our
foreign and domestic relations to the same state in which
they stood ten years since, he will merit to be handed
down to posterity by the side of Clive and Haitiogs."
The task has been nobly undertaken and gallantly carried
through; and though time alone can show how far the
{.resent improved allect of Indian affairs may he destined
to permanency. Lord Ellenborouo is a' least justly en,
titled t a the merit of having wrought the change, as far es
it rests with one man to do liv the firm and feall-ss
energy with wh:ch he addres e I himself to the er,tcrprile,
