siroes of extending sad strengthening our intercourse

world, tisen the advanced cultivation of Oreece, Asia
Minor, and the Africa. coasts; and a free intercoaYse
with these countries, which, before the discovery of
the sew world, were her granaries, and the principal
emporia of her commerce ?
There certainly still exists a tolerably active sinter-
course between most of the trading nations of Europe
and the Lutist, the productions et the latter meet*
a ready fluchange for the manufactures of the former ;
bits it Waimea( superfluous to observe, that the com-
merce a the countries goveraed by the ra•ks is neither
what it formerly was, nor what it might he. it is a
know's' fact that these countries do nut produce the
tenth part of what, with triding labour, might be ob-
tained from their liberal soil. Where despotism pre-
vails, net only the mind, but also the binds become
paralysed and unproductive. And lweanse they pro-
deco less than they might produce, these eountries
comsat, less than they would consume if inhabited by
.0 active snit wealthy population. Besides, such are i
the obstacles which the Turkish government interposes
in thv *ay of friendly intercourse, that nothing short
of the hope of great gain, or an enthusiastic love for
antiquity, eat holder the Europe.° to visit Saloniea ur
Coostaatinople. Whoever travels without the protet-
lion of an embassy, is exposed to moleetution and rob-
bery/ and even personal danger, for he is unprotected

But it is nit merely the pinspect of a more active in-

-4'b. Mentor presumes to Irmeimi the Palikb that
this lavection has a strong claim to universal adoption, and
is highly gratified that he can add, its merit is liberally se-
keowledged by more than Ie,OUU Families. and persons of
the highest sad other must respectable classes; it embraces
every essential to render it a domestic comfort. and is aUke
applitable to every use for which a light an be required ;
as a chamber or night Lamp, or to convey, about the house,
or for the nursery, it is truly interesting to all ranks and pro-
fessions ; en account of its invariable certainty and perfect
safety. as it may be placed on a Lady's toilet without the
least dustier, and eon be regulated to burn during the longest
or shortest night, ushering in the morning. and then disap-
pearing without the least smoke or smell. The same prin-
ciple renders it equally complete for the study. dining table,
sideboard, card table, music stand, bracket. Re. varying in
form and elegance, and the degrees of light regulated in pro-
portion to necessity, avoiding profusion (consequently
waste) of light beyond what is wanted; being free from the
massy weight of brass and oil with which most Lamps are
encumbered, renders It completely portable (a most desir-
able acquisition), bearing any motion without agitating the
flame. The sationary or Grecian hanging Lamps (all glass)

as around, burning any length of time, requiting no atten-
tion during the evening, and delicate as wax. Many excel-
lent Lamps having been laid aside, owing to some intricacy
in trimming, or great consumption of oil, it Ass been the
chief aim of the Patentee to simplify as well as economise,
and it may in truth be said of this. a child can trim it, and is

the persons who return to England, after a resilience
of some years here, eagerly embrace the first opportu-
nity of returning. The islands in the Pacific Ovean,
and those to the N. M. of us promise to Onlarge the

Christian Missionaries shall have 'static a little mire

make excellent seamen, and there is tin wa•►t of
timber fur ship building. It is astonishing that
statesmen do not attach more importance to the I.t-

their labours alone the savage inhabitants of the va•t

An article from Naples dated the 14th alt., in a
Peen••ls Journal, says—" Last Friday Vesuvius was
covered 'luring the whole day, not with volcanic lava,
but with snow, which fell in great abundance mil
covered the whole summit of the mountain. This is
a pisenumenoto rarely witnessed here, even in winter."
A Man named Wendoa (a letter-carrier, resident at
Earl's Coln', in -Essex, has walked upwards of
Afly-two lhossend miles within the last seven years.—
Although at the advanced age of seven-five, he con-
tinues to walk twenty-four miles a day, six days :is

A New Prison Act, passed during the last Sessio t of
Parliament, which makes some most salvable imp.o►•e-
ments in the discipline and arrangements of Gauls,
Bridewells, izc. in Ireland. Amongst the ot:ter
changes we notice the following:—Under the former
Prison Act the Pr..testant Clergyman of the Paris's
where a fiat)l was situated, had a preference to the
once of Inspector ; by the present Act the preferen-e
is abolished, and the place is open to any fit and pro-
per person whom the Greed Jury may please to no:ni-
nat... Under the former Act the office of Chaplain was
open to all Clergymen without distinction : under the
present Act the Parish Minister and Parish Priest,
and their Curates, are to have the preference to that
situation. Amongst other useful regulations it di-
rects, that no person shall be detained in any Bride-
well longer than three days, unless by a special war-
' rant signed by two Magistrates; it also enacts,• that
notice shall he forthwith posted up is every prison,
announcing the abolition of gaol fees.
We are steeply concerned to say, that between the
early hours of four and five o'clock on Friday after-
noon, as W. E. Hoskins, E•q. son of A. Hoskins,
Esq., was retnrioing Irons Abbeyfeale to his father's
dwelling, at the castle of Newcas le, in WI counts.
as was stopped at about two miles from the latter
town, by seven armed amen, who fired several shots at
his. One lame ball entered bis right side, and seve-
ral slugs were lodged in different parts of his body.—
A man and boy were riding with Mr. Hoskins previous
to the outrage, and it is stated that the former ran off
when he perceived the villains approach Mr. Hoskins.
We have heard that Mr. Hoskins's bat and watch were
taken by the assassins.
