SELECTIONS.

SCENE IN THE THEATRE, HOBART TOWN.—Mrs.
Clarke has adopted an excellent method of preventing
blackguardism in the boxes of her theatre, and it says
much for the "lower orders," that it is found in no other
part of the house. On Monday evening, four drunken
blackguards, who had assumed the characrer (masquerad-
ing is all the fashion) of gentlemen, not only annoyed the
audience and literally stopped the performance by their
continued interruption, 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 one of her finest songs. The spirited lessee then
being in the "costume" of Macheath, with the whip in
her hand, without a moment's delay, went round to the
box, and whipped the blackguards out! It was well done.
Murray's Austral Asiatic Review.

CHARACTER OF THE PEOPLE OF HINDOSTAN.—It iS
a problem to this moment, whether the character of a peo-
ple is formed by the government or influenced by the cha-
racter of the people. If the former proposition were ad-
mitted, the English would have slight cause for selfgratu-
lation ; for, considered in the gross, there is not a people
in the-world who are so little distinguished by the virtues
which adorn the human race as the inhabitants of Hindos-
tan. They are not insensible to the natural affections,
nor are the examples they present of patience and resigna-
tion under calamity, and chatity in the bestowal of alms,
by any means rare : but the per contra exhibits a selfish.
ness, a sensuality ,a cowardice, a degree of avarice.cunning,
falsehood, malevolence, prejudice, inertness, and a host of
minor vices, with which it is needless to swell our
catalogue; still there are brilliant instances of exceptions
to the ordinary rule. The charge of supineness does nor
lie at the door of the pharasee—he is industrious and
energetic, and generous in the use he makes of his accumu-
lated wealth. Cowardiceis 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.
—Stoequeller's Hand-Book of India.
MR. MONTAGUE'S MURDER.—As the sunlight died
away, and evening fell upon the wood, he entered it.
Moving here and there a bramble or a drooping bough
which stretched across his path, be slowly 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 seen or heard no more. Never
more beheld by mortal eye, or heard by mortal esr : one
man excepted. That man, parting the leaves and branches
on the other side, near where the path emerged again,
came leaping out soon afterwards. What had he left
within the wood, that he sprang out of it, as if it were a
hell! The body of a murdered man. In one thick soli-
tary spot, it lay among the last year's leaves of oak and
beech, just as it had fallen headlong down. Sopping and
soaking in amongst the leaves that formed its pillow
oozing down into the boggy grouna, as if to cover itself
from human sight; forcingits way between and through
the curling leaves, as if those senseless things rejected and
foreswore it, and were coiled up in abhorrence; went a
dark, dark stain that dyed and scented the whole summer
night from earth to heaven. The doer of this deed came
leaping from the wcod so fiercely, that as he cast into the
air a shower of fragments of young boughs, torn away in
his passage, and frll with violence upon the grass. But
he quickly gained his feet again, and keeping underneath
a hedge with hie body bent, went running on towards the
road. The road once reached, he fell into a rapid walk,
and set on towards London.—Martin Chuzzlewil.

DISEASES IN INDIA.—The diseases roo=t common to
India are fever, dysentery, liver complaii,ts, and cholera
morbus. These annually sweep away their tens of thou-
sands, the later disease baffling the slid of the most emi-
nent phyiei-ms, 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 g"neral results. Elephantiasis, or the
swelling of the leg, is common to th, nattves in every pro-
vince. In th, hilly districts, goitre is very prevalent, and
ophthalmia afflicts myriads in the upper provinces. where
the soil is sandy and the people car, less of their persons.
Leprosy is often seen in its most hideons form ; and rheu-
matism counts ins victims amongst its thinly clad, and ex-
posed poor during the rainy season. Piles, ulcers, inti-
mations, and a peculiar eruption, popularly called prickly
heat, are extremely prevalent, particularly amongst Euro-
peans, whose hab.ts of lire are less regulated by climate
than co-silts with a proper regard to health and lonvvity.
Influenza and disease of the lungs sometimes make de-
mands upon the leech's skill, but they do not present
themselves in the formidable gui-e which distinguishes
their appearance in more northerly teLO:ins; n,ther do
hoopiug-cough, the measles or other complai..ts.affUrt in-
fants so -evenly as the same maladies in England. Still,
the mortality amongst tire newly-born is considerable,
in some measure from convulsions, terthiag, lever, &c ,
but morecouirnonly from the ignorance of midwives, and
the carelessness, if nothing worse of native nurses. Small-
pox was a terrible scourge to the populAticai of H judo--
fan : but its ravages are now diminishing, thanks to the
philanthr phic exertions of the medcal officers in the
East-India Company's service, who have zealously Is h our-

- FRUITS OF PROTESTANT MISSIONARY EXERTIONS
IN IRELAND.-1,-t any one who vvisties to know what
inty be done by judicious exeitions to increase the num-
ber of our P. ote-tait poinktion, inquire what has been
done in Mr. Preston's inter sting cokny in the cour,ty of
Kildare. Of the heroic enterprise of Mr.- Nangle a'
Achill our readers are sufficiently aware, aid of the as.
lonishing fact, that in that extr,me part of pop:sh Ire-
land the lalunrs of the missionary have be -n ble4sed to
so extraordinary a d,gree, that an adtsitioual church has
been lately required for the acconrimodat on of the increa-
sing converts. And there his ben just put into no..
hands a report from tie D isle Colony, in an extreme
part of the count. of Kerry, from which we make the

following extract :—" The number. of converts in Dingle,
in January 1843. was 310 individuals. Th' number of
converts in Dingle, in March, 1844, was 330 individuals ;
73 families. Attendance at the school to Dingle now,
children 180; on Sunday. adults 130. At Keelotelehedar
there are converta 81 Children at Keelinelcheilar school
41. At Dunedin. converts 50. Children of Dunedin ar
school 28." Such is the work whico is now going on in
every part of this country, and to which "a heavy blow
and gre it discourager.ient " has been given by a system of
policy which strengthens the hands of an unscriptural
priesthood by legislative encriuragement and temporal aid.
exactly in proportion as that authority is fading before
the progress of tru'h 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 he 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 I—Dublen University Magazine.
KINDNESS IN CONVERSATION.—There is no way in
which men can do g tod to oth Ts, with so little expense and
trouble, as by kindness in conversati .n. " Words" it is
sometimes sail, "cost nothing." At airy rase. kind worts
cost no more than those which ar.- harsh and piercing. But
kind wo, da are often more valued than the mosteostly gifts—
and they are always regarded among the hest tokens of desire
to make others happy. We should think that kit d 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, arid 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 nurses.
Some use granting words because they are of moro-e
disposition. Their language, as well as their manners,
show an unfeeling heart.—Others use rough words out r f
an affection of frankness. They may be severe in their
remarks—but then they claim that they are open arid 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. Sinne 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 ere 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 nis harshness,
did not repeal affection. And he often wonders why his
friends care so little for him, when from r there they receive
not half so mail. favours. Some are 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 which had escaped
the less keen observations of others. They are always on
the watch to spy out some fault in character, or in disposi-
tion, which others overlook, that they may appe.r to have
uncommon discrimination and rare skill in criticism. If
the happiness of others is nut motive enough to their influ-
ence on ourselves, the habit of using them will at length
conform our feelings to our langu ige, 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, seld:on fails to sour the disposi-
tion and to injure the temper.
SERGEANT TALFOURD.—ThOmas 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 public school under Dr. Valpy, he
there acquired a love of Shakspeare and the drama—for-
bidden ground to his native sect—and 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 eviocing the character of his thoughts at this early
period. One of them, entitled 'On the Education of the
Poor,' and another, The Union and Brotherhood 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 Protestant 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 Cobbett 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 side 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 fir
the courage with which it denounced the gloomy exagge-
rations of Lord Byron, who aas then in the full blaze of

quar-
ters in which he carried on his literary labours, were now
in the " Retrospective Review,' and the Encyclopmdia
Metropolitan.' The articles on Homer,' on the Greek
Tragedians,' and ' Greek Lyric Poets,' in the latter were
written by him: He began his connection with
Monthly' in 1820, and continued to furnish t
criticisms, besides other papers, in that l)e t

in
twelve years. He subsequently wrote in the'Hgzne for
Edinburgh
Review' and London M .zine,' and published in 1826
a Memoir of Mrs. Radcliffe, prefixed to her posthumous
work of Gaston de Blondeville.' Mr. Talfourd was
magazine
called to the bar by the Society of the Middle Temple in
1821, and jo;ned the Oxford Circuit and Berkshire Ses-
sions. In 1822 he married Rachel, daughter of John
Powell Rutr. Esq., a name well known to polPical re-
Formers. The gradual extension of his professional en-
gagements through the circuit, iod,,ced hint to retire from
the sessions at the expiration of Nelve years, when he
was called to the degree of Sergeant—the vet y same year
in which he wrot, 'is tragedy of 'ton.'—Hortre's "New

INDISCRIMINATING HUMANITY OF MEDICAL MEN.
—Dr. Anthony Petit, reproached upon a certain occasion
by the Qu.eri. MarjeAnroinette for not appearing at Vet
sallies, as hart been expec ed, replied, madam, if I came
not to Versailles yesterday. it was because I wee detained

THE AMERICAN CODE OF HONONR.—The American
system of duelling is quite different from.ours. and far
more consistent and rational : 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 absurdity over most proceedings of the
k'nd. 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 pares.
and to advance one pace each shot till the desirest effect
s 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
Cauitol with him. As this was declined, • his next
proposal was to sit upon a keg of powder, and aunlv a match.
However. in this country, these were considered rather
strong mea4ires ; and through the media.ien of pacific
friends, it was at length amicably arranged that they
should fight with muskets at five paces. 'Each piece was
loaded with three halls, and of course both parties were
nearly blown t 6 pieces; the challenger, however, unfortu-
nately recovered, and is now ready for fresh atrocities.
Of c.mrse such a case a: 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 generally reside, and where
there is abundencenc groutd attached rent free to each
farm, and capable of being rendered profitable at a very
little expense—in fact, without any other outlay than the
labour required to open drains, and level it—we see
scarcely any efforts made at mprovement. A Scotchrnan,
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 recompense for
his trouble; although his time is much more valuable, on
account of the higher rate of wages paid him. BUt an
Iri.hman will consider a twenty-one years' lease as too
short a tenure, to Privity him in expending the time which
he wastes its gossiping with his neighbours, or sunning
himself at the backs of the ditches, in the profitable em-
ployment of adding to what ought to be, if he bad in.
dustry, his already too small hol.ift. 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' guaranteed its possession by law for ten
years after the first crop, at a nominal rent of one shilling
the acre, itmight he an inducement to the tenant to la-
bour: it could be no loss tri.the landlord, as, if still left
111 a
.state of nature it would be useless to him, and after
the expiration of the time guaranteed the tenant as remu-
neration for his trouble, the benefit w ,uld be his exclu-
sively. In the case of a tenant-at. ant, an arrangement
eould easily be effected, by which the teirant, if removed
from the farm before the expiration of the stipulated
term. might receive a jest and reasonable compensatiou
for the improvements which he had effected. or an allow-
ance for the loss of the crops which, ha I he remained, he
would still have been entitled to : arid thus, without any
government outlay, en‘ ouragerpent w till he given for the.
r-clarnatien of that part of the Irish waste lands which
would be worth the trouble or expense of cultivation.—

EFFECT OF SCRIPTURAL. EDUCATION.—The following
most touching incident w s relited by the D an of Jork,
with a 'view to the practical illustration of this part of the
naVonal sy-t,m About four years ago
.an un odly
Protestant, f ow 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, as he wished
that he should devote his whole time to arithmetic. When
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
tiranches of education, he made such a happy progress in
the Scriptures, that they were spiritually blest to his soul.
It so happened, after a shoit time, that the child, by a
fall from a cart, had a limb fractured, which he survived
only thirty hours, having died at a lodging-house in Ban-
don. Believing death to be near. he sent for his father,
that f» they who had onre directed that be 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 request, which is, that you will '
daily read the Scriptures, with prayer to God to bless
them to your sal ation ; for rememl er, father, catl:ng our-
selves Christians. and saying we believe in Christ, will not
save us. No. We must have that faith in Christ, which
is wrought by the Holy SpAt in our souls, aiid which
alone can convert us, and bring us to heaven.' The pour
father was so overpowered by Vie dying request of his
child, that his opposition to scriptural education gave
way ; and the evening of the funeral he sent one pound
to the school, a; a testimony of Ins gta 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
sh.,uld not have been acceded to ? Surely not."—Dublin
University Magazine.

THZ VALLEY OF MEXlCo.—Conceive yourself placed
on a mountain nearly two thousand feet shove the val!ey,
and nine thousand above the level of the sea. A sky
above you of the mo-t perfect azure, without a cloud, and
an atmosphere so transp,rently pure, that the remotes!
objects at the distance of many teagues are as distinctly
visible es if at hand. The gigantic scale of every thine
first strikes you—you seem to be looking down upon a
world. No othe.r mountain and valley 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 land and water. The plain be-
neath is exceedingly level, arid 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, arid some wide f r-sts. Ir is laced with
large bodies of water looking mire like seas than lakes—it
is dotted with innutnetable villages, and estates, and 'Jan-
tatimis • eminences rise from it which, elsewhere, would
be called mountains, yet there, at your feet. they seem but
ant-hills or. 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 sumo its that wall
the valley, .to
,another and , more distant range—and to
range beyond range, with valleys between each, until the
whole melts into a vapoury distance, blue as the etenidies
sky above you. I could have gazed for hours at this little
world while the sun and passitig vapour chequered the
fields, and sailing off again, left the whole one bright mass
of verdure and water—b:inging out clurlv the domes nf
the village churches studding the plain or leaning against
the first slopes of the mountains, w th the huge lakes
homing larger in the rarefied atmosphere. Y. t ne thins;
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 -rvmin tieginning to assert tier
empire—vast, Solitary, and melancholy. There were no
sails—no steamers on the lakes, no smoke over the vil-
lages, no people at labour in the- fidds, tin horsemen,
coaches, or travellers, but outs Ives. Toe silence was al-
most. supernatural ; one expec,s to hear the echo of the
national strife that filled these plains with disc. rd still
lingering among the hills. It was a pietti,e of ' still life,'
inanimate in every feature, sane where, on the distant
mountain sides, the fire of some poor eoal-burnet 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.

LORD ELLENDOROO 08.—No former Governor-Gene-
ral of India entered on his office—at all times the most
arduous under the British cr awn—under such unfavour-
able auspices, and with such a complicated accumulation
of diffilultie4 to combat, as Lord Ellenborough ; few. if
any, of his predecessors, have tad_ their actions, their mo.
tives, and .even their words, exvost d to such an un-
sparing measure of malicious animadversion and wilful
misconstruction; yet none have paseLl so triumphantly
through the ordeal of exper;eoce. Nlaity 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 airt. 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 tire bombast of a
Persian -ecretary as the tie plus ultra of human compo-
sition, and which are not, the-efore, to he 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, arid who were dismayed at encountering
a man whose previously acquired knowledge of the coun.
try which he came to govern, enabled him to dispense with
the assistance °and dictation of this red rape camarilla.
Loud were the complaints of these gent.l at what they
called the despotism of the new Governor-General, on
finding themselves excluded from that part•cipation in
state secrets in which they had Inn; revel-11, in a country
where so much a,lvantage nay be derived from knowing
beforehand what is coming at headquarters. But much
of the success 01 Lord Ellenborough's 'government may be
attributed to the secrecy with which Irs measures were
thus conceived, and the promptitude with which his per-
sonal activity and decision ettab'ed him to carry them into
eff,ct—success of which the merit is thus due to himself
alone, and to the liberty of tp-ti .n which he obt dried by
shaking off at once the eticoettes which had hitherto
trammeled the Indian gove, lament. In July 1842 we
ventured to pronounce, that "on tie course of Lord El-
