PHENOMENA OF SOUND.—In the Arctic regions per-
sons can converse at more than a mile distant when the
thermometer is below zero. In air, sound travels from
1130 to 1142 feet per second. In water, sound passes at
the rate of 4708 feet per second. Sound travels in air
about 900 feet for every pulsation of a healthy person at
75 in .a minute. A bell sounded under water may be
heard under water at 1200 feet distant. Sounds are dis-
tinct at twice the distance on water that they are on land. In
a balloon, the barking of dogs on the ground may be heard
at an elevation of three or four miles. On Table Moun-
tain, a mile above Cape Town, every noise in it, and even
words, may be heard distinctly. The fire of the English
on landing in Egypt was plainly heard 130 miles on the
sea. Dr. Jameson says, in calm weather he heard every
word of a sermon at a distance of two miles. Water is a
better conductor of sound than air. Wood is also a
powerful conductor of sound, and so is flannel or riband.
Sound affects particles of dust in a sunbeam, cobwebs, and
water in musical glasses ; it shakes small pieces of paper
offs string in concord. Deaf persons may converse through
deal rods held between the teeth, or hell to the throat or
breast. Echoes are formed by elliptical surfaces combined
with surrounding surfaces, or by such of them a, fall into
the respective distances of the surface of an ellipse, and
are therefore directed to the other focus of the ellipse;
for all the distances from both foci to such surface are
equal, and hence there is a concentration of sounds at
those points direct from one focus, and reflected back
again from the other focus. An echo returns a monosyl-
lable at 70 feet distance, and another syllable for every 40
feet additional. The echo of artillery is increased or
created by a cloud or clouds. Miners distinguish the sub-
stance bored by the sound ; and physicians distinguish
the action of the heart or lungs by a listening tube. Gam-
blers can distinguish, in tossing money, which side is un.
dermost, though covered by the hand.—Hogy's Weekly
Instructor.

Standard-office, Half-past Twelve o'clock

Through the attention and exertions of Mr. Ayl-
ward, the news-agent, we were put in possession
of the London morning papers immediately on
their arrival by the express train.

Last Night's Parliament.—Continued.

'""Mr. MILES concluded by deprecating the stimulus
sought to be given to manufacturing enterprise, which
had already reached far enough. He then proposed,
" that the Chairman leave Lie Chair that day six months."
Sir W. HENTHCOTE seconded the amendment. He did
not join in imputing dishonest motives to Sir Robert
Peel, he merely thought the measure proposed a
visionary scheme. That scheme was also partial
operation acting forthe almost exclusive advantage
of those engaged in manufacturing pnrsuits.
The peculiar burdens to which the agriculturist was
exposec, rendered it difficult to afford him adiquate com-
pensation. Tie colonial corn growing interest was dis-
regarded by the proposed measure. The duty of sup-
porting Sir ROBERT PEEL as a Conservative Minister,
he admitted, ought to prevent any factious opposition,
but the responsibility of embarrassing the relationship
between Government and their supporters, properly lay
with him who had varied from his original policy. _

Mr. LARCELLES denied that the Government had
altered their policy. The speeches which Sir Robert Peel
had delivered since his elevation to power had uniformly
pointed in the direction of Free-trade. The truth of that
theory had been made manifest by the constant results of
experience, and Sir Robert Peel had merited the gratitude
of the country by the measure he had proposed.
Lord NORREYS had refrained from condemning Sir
Robert Peel until his measures were published to the
country •, his suprise and disapprobation were, however,
equal when he first learned the extent of these proposals.
It was incredible that
_the Minister, who in 1839 avowed
an unqualified adherence to the Protective System, shall
in 1846 propose an entire repeal of that system. His con-
duct was unfair to both his supporters and opponents.
Mr. B. COCHRANE denied that there was any compro-
mise of principle in the course pursued by Sir R. Peel.
He agreed to the dictum th it " whoever proposed an un-
alterable law, was an unalterable fool." Parliament was
something superior to an assemblage of dele2ates. There
was real inconsistency in the Duke of Richmond and Lord
Stanley, who had co-operated to bring about the Revolu-
tion of 1830, now opposing the repeal of the corn-laws, as
a revolutionary measure. Lord North, Mr. Pitt, Mr.
Huskisson and Mr. Canning, had successively lent their
great names to the support of a free-trade policy. He
(Mr. Cochrane) should vote for this measure, because he
Preferred legislation to agitation, and also because he was
favourable to the principle of genuine protection.
Mr. DEEDE s regarded the measure proposed by Go-
vernment as an experiment upon native industry, fraught
with great injury to the country. It would certainly
cause the withdrawal of a large tract of land out of culti-
vation, and diminish the permanent supply of specie in
the national coffers. Upon these grounds he should offer
it his opposition.
Sir JOHN WALSH denied that the Corn-law question
was one of rent merely, though that was of no trifling
moment. Th • landowners were but a small class, hold-
ing in a very few hands large territorial possessions.
The landed proprietors amounted in 1845, according to
Mr. M'Culluch, to two hundred thousand persons.
This very numerous body wonld be affected by what-
ever injuries a Free-trade policy might inflict. The
protective system had been in existen,!e cotempora-
neously with a great increase in the population, and a
great progress in the commerce of the country. Results.
therefore, witnessed in its favour. It was only necessary
to guarantee security to agriculture, in order to elicit a
perfect development of its resources. He contended that
land was liable to peculiar burdens There was no reason
to fear a great importation of corn from many parts which
at present contributed nothing to our supplies, and at very
low rates. The failure of the crops in Ireland had been
advanced as a reason for the present measure; but why
should a temporary calamity prompt so great and perma-
nent a chrnge ? The proposed measure would, if adopted,
ruin Irish agriculture, and destroy the Protestant Church
in Ireland. It had been brought about by an association
which every lover of order ough to oppose.
Mr. A. J. B. 11 oPE considered a preliminary inquiry
was, whether the existing parliament were morally as well
as legally competent to take cognizance of the question of
Free-trade or Protection. They had been returned upon
principles very different from those which at present held
sway in parliament. A revolution in the commercial pm.
NI of the country was being wrought, and the proper
persons to carry it would have been the members of the
Anti-Corn-law League. _

PROGRESS OF MUSIC IN ENGLAND.—The prevailing
notion that music, as a science and as an art, has now
reached a height far beyond that of any former age, is a
mischievous error, of which it would be well that the world
were disabused. Because music has always been chang-
ing. it has been taken for granted that it.has always been
advancing ; but these changes have often been the reverse
of progressive—the mere dictates of caprice and fashion,
they have often substituted ignorance and frivolity for
depth, learning, and earnestness. In this country, doubt-
less, musical accomplishment as it is called—the smatter-
ing, that is, which all young ladies, and many young gen-
tlemen, acquire from fashionable teachers, is mere widely
diffused than it ever was before. But it is equally certain
that there were days. in the olden time, when the educated
classes in England were much better instructed in music
than they are now. In the days of Queen Bess, know-
ledge of the principle s of the art, and skill in its practice,
were so generally diffused among these classes, that any
lady or gentleman who betrayed an ignorance of it was re-
garded as low-bred, and unfit to make a decent figure in
good company. * * The books which, " according to
custom, were brought to the table" when supper was
ended, consisted of the works of the great English and
Italia:, madrigalists of that time—those wonderful speci-
mens of vocal harmony which (like the sculptures of an-
cient Greece) modern art has vainly attempted to imitate,
and whose performance demands an extent of instruction
very different from that which is included in the musical
accomplishment of our day. Compare one of those old
English suppers with a modern musical party. One young
lady, who has had what might be a decent patrimony
spent on music masters, sits down to the piano-forte. and
boldly attacks the last fantasia of Thalberg ; another fa-
vours the company with an entirely new leading of Grisi's
favourite bravura in Donizetti's new opera. Their efforts
are lost amd the clatter of tongues ; for it generally hap-
pens that music (and with such music, how can it be
otherwise ?) is a signal for conversation, except, peradven-
ture, to some unfortunate wight, who, constrained by po-
liteness or some other motive, listens, like Pope,
With sad civility, and an aching head,
and then loads the fair exhibitor with a profusion of com-
pliments, extravagant in proportion to their insncerity.
It is not among the higher classes only that music is thus
abused and converted into an actual social nuisance. Fa-
shion has a downward tendency : " the toe of the peasant
galls the kibe of the courtier ;" and there is hardly any
class of society, however humble, which does not attempt
to emulate the modes and amusements which prevail in
the gilded saloons of the great.—Daily News.
SIR. JAMES GRAHAM'S BITTERNESS TOWARDS HIS
OPPONENTS.—Sir James Graham has made enemies of
almost every parry in the legislature. It has not been
because he has opposed them from time to ti tie, for other
men who are much more pepulur have for many years
done so more effectually. But it has been on account of
the extreme virulence of his opposition. His fighting has
always been a routrance. He has been too prone to dis-
dain the courtesies of political warfare ; fictions though
they be, yet agreeable ones and humanising. He has
always appeared to import his pssions into party con-
!lets, as thou.h he were not merely fie„hting the battle of
opinions, but also maintaining his own personal quarrel.
And yet he has never succeeded in impressing one with
the idea of his being in earnest. That would have ren-
dered pardonable. language otherwise too severe. His
harangues while in opposition, and indeed all his party
speeches, rather seem the elaborate efforts of one having
little real sympathy with the themes he is discussing or
the views he is urging, but who has worked himself up
to a state of fictitious enthusiasm or moral indignation,
in order the more effectually to gratify political vindic-
tiveness, or advance personal ambition, by obtaining the
applause of audiences willing to be misled under cover of
those high-sounding pretences. But, whether simulated
or teal. some of the speeches here more particularly re-
ferred to—and to which, it must be added, no one could
listen without being struck with admiration at their bold-
ness, skill, and sustained energy—were scarcely recon-
cilable with that liberal and charitable interpretation of
the motives of opponents, which is one of the first duties
of public men to caeli other. Nor has Sir James Graham,
while conducting his combats in this spirit, been at all
choice in the weapons he used. Any missive that came
to hand was hurled indiscriminately at the foe. No epi-
thet, however heavy its imputation (always, of course.
saving that it is parliamentary) ; no taunt. however bitter
or exasperating, whether to individuals, to parties, to
opinions, or even to whole nations; no general charge,
however grave as against the pol cy of a party, or however
damnatory of the motives of his opponents in their coun-
cils or their conduct; and, finally, no manoeuvre that
could by any stretch of license be accounted not incon-
sistent wit.) parliamentary honour, even. to the extent of
partial statements of opponents' opinions, or partial qua-
tations or withholdings of justificatory matter ; riot one
such expedient, however little to be approved in fair and
free public discussion, by which a temporary triumph
could be won, or a rival for the hour put down. was ever
rejected by Sir James Graham from any delicacy of tem-
perament ; or from any high and fastidious settee of ho-
nour, such as restrains some m,pn from grasping the vic-
tory which is theirs on such-conditions ; or even from that
constitutional love of fair play and open, stand-up fight-

Lord SANDON startled the house by deslaring that
though he disapproved of the scheme propo•e I by Her
Majesty's government, he had "made up his mind to vote
in favour of it. After stating his objections to the mea-
sure at some length, he said that he felt that the country
must be governed. He found that when opinions hostile
to protection had been pronounced by the great leaders
on both sides of the house, and that it was now opposed
by all the gentlemen who had ever sat in the government
except two, it was no longer a matter for discussion; but
the only question was the way of doing it. He looked
upon it, as the French said, "un fail accompli"—it was
sealed. It might be railed ngainst, but the country mast
be governed; and when the only persons who could`go•
vern the country were of one opinion, the sooner it was
settled the better it would be for all parties.
Lo►d J. RUSSELL considered it a very impotent argu-
ment in favour of protection, to allege that it was sanc-
tioned by the decisions of parliament in former time. The
same might be said of various absurdities. The frien-ls of
protection had affirmed that it was extended to all pur-
suits of native industry. Was this the case? Our woollen
and other manufactures competed with foreign fabrics
abroad; they could therefore hardly benefit by protection
at home. The protective system was for the benefit of one
class alone. If it were admitted that the system was erro-
nsous, the great question was, how were we to abandon it ?
The results of past reductions in duties had proved bene-
ficial both to the revenue and to the producer. As Sir R.
Peel's measure proceeded upon the principle of non-inter-
ference with the pursuits of industry,he was prepared to give
it his cordial support. He then examined that part of the
ministerial scheme which ordains the gradual reduction of
the Corn duties. The i .clinations of the farmers were
in favour of immediate repeal, provided that repeal were
inevitable. He believed ehere would ba less inconvenience
to the English farmer ia the change occurring at present
than at a future period. This part of the plan he should
prefer altered, but at all events he would support the
measure. He recognised the principle of affordiug
compensation to the agricultural body for special tax-
ation Party motives had restrained many from sup-
porting free trade measures when introduced by
himselfi though they now supporled theta when pro-
posed by Sir Robert Peel. Had these influences not pre-
vailed, much misery throughout the country would
have been prevented, and Sit Robert Peel's consistency
preserved. He and his party intend to pursue a different
course, and by the aid they would render, the success of
the measure would be ensured,
Sir R. H. 'recurs congratulated Lord John Russell
upon the triumph he must have derived from the disunion
amongst the Conservative ranks. The great object to be
attained by a legislature in the matter of food, were a suf-
ficiency of supply and equability in price. There had
been a remarkable equability in the prices of Corn in
England compared with other countries. He then
argued that the land was subject to special taxation,
and particularly in respect to the item of tithe. Sir R.
Peel's conversion had, he believed, been perfectly honest,
nevertheless the suddenness of it gave cause to suspect
the permaneuce of even his present convictions. The hon.
baronet concluded by expressing bis intention to support
the amendment.
After Sir R. Inglis closed his address, Capt. FITZMAU.
RICE and Mr. SYDNEY HERBERT addressed the house,
the former opposinc, and the latter in an able speech sup.
porting the propositions of Sir R. Peel, after which, on
the motion of Mr. Stafford O'Bien, the debate was ad-
journed.

ORIGIN AND PROGRESS OF FILE WAR BETWEEN
BUENOS AYRES AND MONTE VlDEo.—General Rivera

was the first President of the Banda Oriental. He was
elected in 1831, after the Orientates had got rid of the
Buenos Ayrean and Brazilian armies. His terms of
office expired in 1835, and by his influence one of his offi-
cers, D. M, Oribe, was elect, d his successor. Rivera
had been no friend to Rosa 4, President of Buenos Ayres.
He had refused in 183.1 to deliver up t•uch of the Unita-
rians as had sought refuge in Monte Video. Oribe, on
the contrary, not only proscribed those men at the re-

.
quest of Rosas, but formed a plan for destroying the in-
dependence of his country by annexing to it the Argen-
tine Confederation. This was in 1836. The national
party took the alarm, and Rivera. whom Oribe had at-
tempted to deprive of the employment as CommAnder-
in-Chief, putting himself at the head at those disaffected
to the government, obtained possession of the whole
country, except the lower towns of Monte Video and
Paysandie, to both of which he laid seige about the

Orihe made a formal renunciation of his presidency,
which being accepted by the congress, he retired into
private life in Buenos Ayres. Rivera was elected Pre-
sident in 1839; Oribe in the meantime having protested
formally against the validity of his act of abdication
Unhappily, the new President was persuaded by the
French, then blockading Buenos, to declare war against
Ros4s, under pretence that he had abetted the intrigues

CHILDREN.—To see children as they ought to be, you I
must see them in numerous covies. The real child is only
to be found in a house where you can't set down a fuot
heedlessly without trampling on one. There they are so
much in the way, that people are not allowed to forget
them, and they are so many, that none of them can be
spoiled by petting. Besides, children make by far the
best keepers and companions for each other. A baby in
its bascinet, trying to rest on its feet, while propping its
little hands on the rim, or reaching over. to catch some-
thing. is enough to outwear the patience of the most pat- ,
tern nurse-maid ; but --et a little creature of two or three
years-old, the quiet and gentle one of the family. to watch
the baby, and, proud of the commission, it never tires.
The baby, too, is nnore'amenable to its tiny coercion, when
seeking to break bounds. Such a group is the only beau.
tiful emblem of the power that love imparts to human
weakness. When the blind is imagined directing the
lame, while the lame carries the blind, the picture is pain-
ful and humiliating ; but there is no such alloy in the pic-
ture of an elf, only half emerged from babyhood, keeping
baby from hurting itself while the baby supplies the place
of a plaything. Or perhaps it is a gallant unbreeched boy
who takes upon him the guardianship of a sister some
twelve moons his senior. How soon the " lord of the
creation" shows himself in the male. There is a mis-
chievous, laughing self-confidence in an urchin of two
years, that girls never attain. If any other class ofintel-
ligent existence have it in their power to contemplate
human beings, the most inexperienced among them must
at once have a presentiment that in the baby boy, they
belfold a creature whose will is to be law to himself and
others. A nursery-maid, when children who are verging
towards the transition epoch at which the child passes
into the boy or girl prove unusually stubborn, sometimes
threatens to leave them. Let the experiment be tried, and
it is ten to one that the culprit, if a girl. looks on while
t. e bonnet and shawl are being pinned, half-incredulous,
half- anxious, that her younger sister is dissolved in tears,
and that while baby keeps crowing utterly unconscious of
what is passing, little master, with a pout on his lip and a
frown on his brow, doggedly sets his back against the door
to prevent egress, and says nothing. In girl-children, the
intellect develops itself more rapidly than in boy-children ;
but the character is much earlier pronounced in the male.
This may be the reason why we always find in the nursery
pairings off, a brother and sister keeping themselves some-
what apart from the rest. Where there are two, one must
go before; either the elder girl has not the talent of lead-
ing, or the younger feels instinctively that she has no au-
thority over her by divine right. The boy takes the lead
unconsciously, and yet, as in after life, the girl has per-
haps more influence over him than he over her.—Tait.

of Oribe ; but in 1840, when that great power adjusted
its quarrel, " nothing was done about the auxi!iary war

sources and the effects of the folly which the French had
all but forced him to commit." Oribe thenceforward
entered the service of General Roses, as,isting him in all

his wars, and styling himself the legal president of the
Uraguay republic, although he wears the Buenos Arean
badge of servitude, a portrait of General ltosas, stitched
on his coat, on a red merino ground, surrounded by a
motto, " Death to the savage Unitariano4." This is also

DEFECTIVE VENTILATION A CAUSE OF INTEMPE-
RANCE.—Dr. D. B. Reid, who has turned his attention
to this topic, informs us that " defective ventilation re-
ducing the power of oxygenaing the blood and sustaining
the temperature, produces a morbid condition, which di-
minishes the relish for, and power of digesting plain food:
unnatural stimuli, such as ardent spirits, are required to
excite the languid circulation." In consonance with this
opinion, we find many lamentable facts. A visit to some
of the larger workshops in London and some of the ma-
nufacturing towns, would instantly lessen our wonder at
the dissipated habits of the men, and explain the reason
why certain classes of operatives are more intemperate
than others. The pent up and polluted air, exhausted of
all moisture, or floating with particles of dust, has a de-
pressing effect on the nervous energies of the men, and
proves an almost irresistible provocative to the use of ar-
dent spirits and other strong drinks. At the risk of being
somewhat personal, and that we may not be suspected of
dealing in vague generalities, we condescend on two classes
of tradesmen, who, on inquiry, were fuund to be more
dissipated than others from this very cause—we mean flax-
dressers and tailors. Of the former we can testify from
our own observation, that, while there are many honour-
able exceptions, as a class t ,ey are the most addicted to
intemperance of any in those districts where flax-spinning
is prevalent. Yet they have no worse example and no
greater temptations before them than other operatives ;
but then they live in an atmosphere both dry and dusty—
literally loaded with particles of flax. Let this evil be re-
medied or removed, and we are persuaded the craving for
stimulants would be greatly diminished. With respect to
tailors as a class, we submit the following extracts from
the Report on the Sanatory Condition of the Labouring
Population :—Thomas Brownlow worked eight years at
Messrs. Allen's, Old Bond-street, London. There were
from eighty to a hundred men in a room sixteen yards long'
and eight yards wide, close together, nearly knee to knee.
The heat was twenty degrees higher than outside. The
heat and smell were intolerable. I have known young
men faint away. It had a very depressing effect on the
energies. Many could not stay out the hours. The na-
tural effect of the depression was that we had recourse to
drink as a stimulant. Gin was the first thing used in the
morning at seven o'clock, an hour atter beginning work
Gin and beer at eleven o'clock! Beer and gin at three
o'clock ; and gin and beer at five o'clock !—five times in
one day ! In answer to the query—" After work was
there any drinking ?" the same person says, " Yes ; nearly
all the young men went to the public-house, and some of
the others.' Here, then, was literally a hot-house for
rearing drunkards! Other facts and statistics in abun-
dance are at hand to prove that the same tradesmen in
rural districts working by themselves, or only two or three
together, in cooler places, are n,,t specially addicted to
drinking.—Hogo's Weekly Instructor. _

Patted on the head by Queen Elizabeth—mocking the
worshippers of Aristotle at Cambridge—catching the first
glimpses of his great discoveries, and yet uncertain whe-

learned and gay at the Court of France—devoting himself
to Bracton and the Year Books in Gray's-inn—throwing
aside the musty folios of the law to write a moral essay,
to wake an experiment in natural philosophy, or to detect
the fallacies which had hitherto obstructed the progress
of useful truth—contented for a time with taking " all

arts of flattery to gain official advancement by Royal and

for a brief space becoming a patriot—making amends by
defending all the worst excesses of prerogative—publish-

nicest perception of what is honourable and beautiful, as
well as prudent, in the conduct of life—yet, the son of a
Lord Keeper, the nephew of the Prime Minister, a
Queen's counsel, with the first marctice at the bar, arrest-
ed for debt, and languishing in a sponging-house—tired
with vain solicitations to his own kindred for promotion,
joining the party of their opponent, and, after experien-
cing the most generous kindness from the young and
chivalrous head of it, assisting to bring Wm to the scaf-
fold, and to blacken his memory—seeking, by a merce-
nary marriage, to repair his broken fortunes—on the ac-
cession of a new Sovereign offering up the most servile
adulation to a pedant whom he atterly despised—infinitely
gratified by being permitted to kneel, with 230 others, to
receive the honour of knighthood—truckling to a worth-
less favourite with the most slavish subserviency, that he
might be appointed a law officer of the Crown—then
giving the most admirable advice for the compilation and
e nenciation of the laws of England, and helping to inflict
torture on a poor parson, whom he wished to bang as a
traitor for writing an unpublished and unprearihed sermon
—attracting the notice of all Europe by his philosophical
works, which established a new era in the mode of inves-
tigating the p'lenomena both of matter and mind—basely
intriguing in the meanwhile for further promotion, and
writing secret letters to his Sovereign to disparage his
rivals—riding proudly between the Lord High Treasurer
and Lord Privy Seal, preceded by his mace-bearer and

rassed by being obliged out of decency, the case bring so
clear, to decide against the party whose money he had
picketed, but stifling the misgivings of conscience by the
splendour aria flattery which he now commanded—struck
to the earth by the discovery of his corruption—taking to
his bed and refusing sustenance—confessing the truth of
the charges hrought against him. and abjectly imploring
mercy—nobly rallying from his disgrace, and engaging in
