THE AGITATOR'S LEVEE

The Dublin Nation of Saturd4, the organ of the
•' Young Ireland " section of repealers, is in a perfect de-
lirium of delight at the issue of the formidable proceed-
ings which were enacted in Dublin on Friday and re-
ported: elsewhere, in commemoration of the Repeal
conspirators' accidental triumph over the supremacy of
the law. " 'Young Ireland," malgre its feminine weak-
ness, as displayed at Conciliation-hall on Monday last is
again seized with the war fever, and talks lustily of
" pledges " registered for the regeneration of the country,
the "bugles of the people" yet sounding in the ears, the
`• will alone wanting" to let fly better skelter at her Ma-
jesty's troops, winding up with an apostrophe to the me-
mory of Sarsfield and Wolfe Tone, and an expression of
the writer's uncommon thirst for a draught of freedom ;
the whole tone of the article being couched in language
not altogether dissimilar to passages which the curious in
sedition may find in the lives of those eminent state men,"
Danton and Robespierre. Here arc a few samples culled
from the nosegay :
.

FRIGHTENING INFANTS.—A nobleman of the highest
rank, after anxiously waiting many years for a son and
heir, had at length his wishes gratified. The christening
was to be celebrated with great pomp; and to make it
more imposing, it was determined that it should be per-
formed at night. The apartments were lighted with the
utmost brilliancy; the company were all assembled, and
the infant duke was brought into the drawing-room. The
sudden glare of light caused almost instantaneous con-
vulsions, from which the child never recovered. Dr.
Gartshore's son married a lady very highly connected ;
and her son—provided she had one—was to inherit a
large estate. Consequently, when her first son was born,
there were great rejoicings at his christening; and a
bishop, who was related to the mother, was invited to
perform the ceremony. When he arrived, the servants
knocked so loudly at the door that the child was fright-
ened into convulsions, from which it never recovered, but
died soon after.—Hood's Diseases`of Children.
PIPPIN.—This word is derived, by Dr. Johnson, from
puppynghe (Dutch) ; but it is surely more reasonable to
suppose it, with other etymologists, from Pepin, the
king of the country from whence the fruit is derived; as
" filberd," from Philibert of France; while the " ren-
nett" apple is la reinette, or the " little queen ;" as the
" geniting" is from Janelon. or Jeannetin, in honour of
some queen or lady of that name. The " Bigoroon"
cherry is so called from Bigorre, the French province
where it is grown ; as the original word " cherry" is from
Cerasus in Asia Minor; while our " mayduke" cherry
derives its name. from Medoc, in Burgundy. The
brown " bu•y" pear is so named from ics buttered
or melting quality (beurre'); the " Colmar" pear is
from Colmar, In Alf ace ; and the " Cuisse-madame"
pear, from its figure. The " arline" plum is a cor-
ruption from "Orleans; the "- currant" is the grape of
Corinth ; and the "'damson" (properly damascene) is the
plum of Damascus. Menage considers " melon" as a large
apple, and derives it groin the Latin Greek. If esculent
vegetables may be noticed, the " Jerusalem artichoke is a
curious instance of the corruption of language, it being the
sunflower artichoke, or girasole (the plant turning to the
sun,) "Jerusalem" being thus corrupted from girasole.
Not less remarkable is " John Dory" (the fish) as a cor-
ruption of it janitore, or " the door-keeper;" for that Within the last few years there appears to be a growing

TEACHING NOT EDUCATION.—NOW what education
had that poor boy received? The people of the neigh.
bouring village would have said, a very good one ; for
there was what is called a charity-school in the neigh-
bourhood, where he had been taught to read, and write,
and cast accounts. But this was teaching—not education.
Oh, fatal mistake ! when will Englishmen learn to discri-
minate between the two! His education bad been at
home—in that miserable hut—hy that wretched woman—
by her companions in vice and crime! What had all the
teaching he had received at the school done for him, but
placed weapons in the hand of wickedness? Had educa-
tion formed any part of the system of the school where
he was instructed ; had he been taught how best to we
the gifts that were imparted ; had he been inured to re-
gulate the mind that was stored; had he been habituated
to draw just conclusions from all he read, instead of being
merely taught to read,—that would have been, in some
degree, education ; and it might have corrected, to a cer-
tain point, the darker schooling he received at home.
Well might the great philosopher. who in some things
most grossly misused the knowledge be himself possessed,

forgot to add that it is power for good or evil I That
poor child had been taught that which to him might have
been either a blessing or a bane; but all his real educa-
tion had been for evil, and there he stood, corrupted to
the heart's core."—laineis Smuggler.

" Friends and foes ! know ye that Ireland is pledged—
in words the most solemn—by representatives the most
competent—on an occmion the most august—pledged be-
fore God and man, to achieve independence ? The
bridge is broken behind us. He who falters now is a
traitor, a perjurer and a coward. The bugles of the peo-
ple are in our ears—of the myriad people—of the people
who owe England for a thousand martyrdoms, who have
conquered demon vices long intrenched in their souls ; we
grow impatient. Oh, men of Ireland ! will you not unite,
and organize, and learn, and meet us at some not distant
anniversary, to separate only in triumph ? Yes, we had
the elements of a National Convention—a convention
whose taxes the people would pay, round whose war• flag
the masses would rally, which could negotiate, legislate,
battle, and triumph. There lacked not intellects ready
for every office in tent or town. There lacked not autho-
rity for perfect obedience. 1 here lacked not rank for ex-
ternal respect. There lacked not resolve for any contest.
But one thing was wanting—the will. The garrison of
Dublin was paraded yesterday. Its cartridges were ready,
and its battalions concentrated to meet—unarmed citizens !
Viceroy of the.,alien ! your precautions were cowardly
against us as we were, and would have been vain had we
been what you assumed us. Your troops would have
perished in our streets like a rivulet among sands ; but
you acted as great a falsehood as the indictment of 18-14,
when you took precautions against our insurrection.
May the unanimity of the day secure future fr'endship !
May the opportunity of forcible liberation—foregone
now !—confirm the people, and warn the oppressor in
time! May the wrath of God smite him who breaks our
vow ! May the arm of God hasten our liberty ! Dear
liberty !—liberty, for which Sarsfield fought, and Tone
organized!—liberty gained at Clontarf and Dungannon--
lost by division—come !—come quickly !—we are athirst
for freedom !"

THE HIGHLAND CLEARANCES,

The Correspondent of the Times, gives in yesterday's
paper, the following heart-rending description of what
tack place after the Highlanders were ejected from Glen
lvie, the preparatory steps to which are narrated in an
article elsewhere :
I drove over on Sunday to the parish church of Croick,
which is near Glen Calvie. Close by a bridge leading to
the glen the whole of these poor people, and the inhabi-
tants of one or two neighbouring straths, were assembled
to hear one of their elders read the P-alms to them.
They were all sewed in the Gaelic fashion, on the bill
side, in a circle, facing the officiating elder; the women
ell neatly dressed in net caps, and wearing scarlet or plaid
shawls; the men wearing their blue bonnets, and having
their shepherd's plaids wrapped round them. This was
their only covering, and this was the Free Church. There
was a simplicity extremely touching in this group on the
bare hill side, listening to the Psalms of David in their
native tongue, and assembled to worship God, many of
them without a home.
I drove on, and went to the Established Church. The
service was partly in Gaelic and partly in English, but the
congregation was miserably thin. There were but ten
persons besides the minister in the church.
Behind the church, in the churchyard, a long kind of
booth was erected, the roof formed of tarpawling stretched
over poles, the sides closed in with horse-cloths, rugs,
blankets, and plaids. On inquiry I found that this was
the refuge of the Glen Calvie people. They had kept
their word, and saved their bondsmen. With two excep-
