CHESS.—The fondness of our ancestors for the game
of chess appears by the frequent mention of the amuse-
ment in the ancient romances. Sometimes a lover pro-
cured admittance to the place where his mistress was con-
fined by allowing the jailor to win from him a game at
chess. Again the minstrels of the baronial hall spread
over the subject all the riches of their imagination. They
were wont to fancy the enchanted castle of a beautiful
fairy. who challenged a noble knight to play with her at
chess. Flags of black and white marble formed their
chequer, and the pieces consisted of massive statutes of
silver and gold, which moved at the touch of a magic
wand held by the player.—Mill's History of Chivalry.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SCOTTISH CHARACTER.—" A
people whose education and habits are such that, in every
Quarter of the world, they rise above the mass of those
with whom they mix, as surely as oil rises to the top of
water? a people of such temper and self-government, that
the wildest excesses recorded in their history partake of
the gravity of judicial proceedings, and of the solemn-
ity of religious rites ; a people whose national pride and
mutual attachment have passed into a proverb ; a people
whose high and fierce spirit, so forcibly described in the
haughty motto which encircles their thistle, preserved
their independence during a stuggle of centuries, from the
encroachments of wealthier and more powerful neigh-
bours ; such a people cannot be long oppressed. Any gov-
ernment, however constituted, must respect their wishes
and tremble at their discontents. * * * *
The Scotch are not ill governed. And the reason simply is
that they will not bear to be ill governed.—Macauley'a
Review of Burleigh.
BAFFLING A BEAR.—After several strange adventures
and very narrow escapes from buffaloes, other gigantic
elephants, &c., (but how he had suceeded in doing so he
could not well tell,) he, Colonel Hardy, now perceived
through the trees two large black objects, moving in the
very narrow path just before him ; and here he had again
no alternative, but if possible to pass in the same way as
he had passed the elephants. They soon saw or heard
him ; and to his horror he found himself in a moment
almost within the grasp of two large terrific bears, which
instantly made to him, and in so furious a manner, that
he had scarcely time to call upon God to save him ! By
some means or other he eluded the hug of the first bear,
but he was hopeless of being able to avoid or escape from
the claws and frightful teeth displayed in the extended
jaws of the second, when a kind of impulse, for which he
could not account, caused him to raise his arm, and to
aim a blow at the monster with the bottle which he still
held in his hand. This, striking against the teeth of the
animal, was dashed to pieces with a great crash, and the
brandy flying into the mouth and eyes of the astonished
bear, so frightened him as well as his companion, that,
growling loudly, they both made off into the jungle.—
Excursions in Ceylon.

WILL IMPORTS COMMAND EXPORTS?—If an oppor-
tunity was ever afforded of bringing to a practical test the
assertion of the manufacturers—that " imports would ne-
cessarily command exports," and that the introduction of
foreign corn would carry off our manufactures, it occurred
in the periods between the Ist of November, 1811, and
October in the following year, 1842. At no period during
which we have been a corn importing country was a
larger mass of foreign corn brought into the British mar-
ket. The average annual import for the ten years com-
mencing 1831 and finishing 1841 had been one million two
hundred thousand quarters, during which there is no con-
nection to be traced between the import of corn and the
condition of the manufacturing classes, as affected by the
less or larger quantity. But in a period of eleven months
between the times we have above stated—that is, between
November 1841, and October, 1842, the importation of
foreign corn into Great Britain reached to the enormous
amount of three million quarters ; and if we convert flour
into quarters of wheat, the whole amount of importation
will stand little short of three millions two hundred thou-
sand quarters ; in other words, nearly three times the
amount of the ordinary annual average importation. Now,
if the theory of the Auti.Corn-Law League be true—that
the larger quantity of wheat which you take from abroad,
the larger will be the exportation of manufactured goods
in exchange—what would he the result? The answer is
obvious :—that, according to this reasoning, the latter end
of the year 1841 up to October, 1842, ought to have been
the most prosperous season of export for British goods :
—but that it was not so every factor at Manchester, Li-
verpool, Birmingham, and Glasgow, will admit with one
consent. Never, indeed, during any period of our com-
mercial adversity, was there a greater decline in the ma-
nufacturing market, and less demand from foreign cus-
tomers, than in the eleven months during which this large
mass of imported corn was brought into and consumed in
our markets : it was not, indeed, until the spring of the
present year, when scarcely a bushel of this extraordinary
import was left, that trade began to revive. Now, if this
expenditure of nearly £6,500,000, which was the price of
this imported corn and flour, paid to foreigners, did no-
thing towards reviving trade and manufactures, but con-
tinued them in a most stagnant and unprosperous state,
how is it possible that there can be any such connection
between the export of British goods and the import of
foreign corn, as render it necessary to proceed forthwith

to a repeal of t
rers may sell their goo
nal.
