NEW SONGS.

Songs, by Thomas Blake, Esq.--" 0 Peaceful Valley,"
Bianchi Taylor; " Our Village Church-yard," Ditto;
" The Mariner's Life," Ditto ; "Wilt thou remember
me 7" Ditto; " I will remember thee," Ditto ; " Oh !
remember the hour," J. B. Clough; " I love to sail," G.
J. Skelton; " Adieu to the Valley," Thomas Mason ;
" The Happy Cottage Home," George Linley ; " The
Merry Days of England," Ditto ; " When Morning is
breaking," J. P. Knight; " Come, tune thy Lyre," (two

voices) Mrs. H. Shelton. Cramer and Co., London.
These songs consist of what may be termed " drawing-
room lyrics," with the exception of one, " The Merry Days
of England," a good conservative song, which we should be
glad to hear sung at all dinners and festivals where staunch
and true Englishmen are present. These songs, we repeat,
are drawing-room lyrics, such as ought to be found on the
piano-fortes or in the music-racks of all ladies of taste.
Mr. Blake may lay some claim to Haynes Bayley's mantle,
for he writes with feeling, pathos, and musically, which is
the true secret of successful ballad composition. Many bf
our first bards—Byron, for instance, Mrs. Hemans especially
—made sad hand of words for music. Many composers
have told us that they have found more difficulty in arranging
to them than it could be well imagined. Mr. Blake has
clearly the knack—for that is the best term—of giving the
composer an easy task ; and which, while it leaves him un-
fettered, permits his fancy to have good elbow-room. We
can recommend these songs strongly to notice as being well
adapted for those amateurs who wish to give their friends an
opportunity of hearing with effect " the music of their most
sweet voices," and adding to the pleasure of vocal enter-
tainment.

VARIETIES.

Lively, good-humoured old women, compared with young
ones, are what raisins are to fresh grapes. They are withered,
hut they are also preserved, and appear to advantage in the
freshest company.

BRUTES AND TOBACCO.—So sensible is every brute crea
ture of the poisonous and deleterious quality of this plant,
that not one of all the various tribes of beasts, birds, or
reptiles, has ever been known to taste of it. It has been
reserved to man alone to make of this poisonous plant an
article of daily necessity for the gratification of his depraved
appetite.

A LUCKY HlT.—The Heraldo, a Madrid journal, gravely
gives the following :—" An old female mendicant of Vivoro,
in Gallicia, who had been blind for several years, lately re-
ceived a blow on one eye from a stone. Her first movement
was to put her hand to the eye, and when she withdrew it, she
found that the sight of it had been perfectly restored !"
Poetry has invariably one of two tendencies. Disgusted
with the present, in which its ideal is degraded, it either
flies to the past or the future. It sighs over the golden age,
over the primitive simplicity and energetic virtues of the
past, or it looks with eager eyes into the dim future, when
progression will have brought perfection, and it shapes this
plastic future into the harmonious proportions of its imagi-
nation.

NIGHTCAP PATENT OF PRIVILEGE.—The Kinsale pri-
vilege of wearing the hat in the royal presence was thrown
into the shade by the following grant of Queen Mary :
" The Queen's gratitude took a very odd form in the case of
the Earl of Sussex. He was a valetudinarian, who bad a great
fear of uncovering his head; and considering that the colds
he dreaded respected no person, he petitioned Queen Mary
for leave to wear his nightcap in her royal presence. The
Queen, in her abundant grace, not only gave him leave to
wear one, but two nightcaps, if he pleased. His patent for
this peivilege is, perhaps, unique in royal annals Know
ye, that we do give to our well-beloved and trusty cousin
and councillor, Henry, Earl of Sussex, Viscount Fitzwater,
and Lord of Egremond and Burnell, license and pardon to
wear his cap, coif, or nightcap, or any two of them, at his
pleasure, as well in our presence as in the presence of any
other person or persons within this our realm, or any other
place in our dominions whatsoever, during his life ; and these
our letters shall be his sufficient warrant in this behalf.' The
Queen's seal, with the garter about it, is affixed to this
singular grant."—Miss Strickland's " Lives of the Queens
of England."

FREDERICK THE GREAT'S WlT.—This monarch aimed
at being thought a wit, and was not unsparing of his caustic
remarks upon his best friends. The following is not a bad
specimen of his talent for smart, though somewhat irreverent
punning :—" The uniform of the Hulans consisted of white
Turkish mantles, and light blue clothing underneath : this
was changed, but in memory of it the new hussars had white
sheepskins and light blue dollmans. The Austrians sought
to throw ridicule upon this regiment by calling the hussars
s!teep. This contemptuous appellation enkindled an ardent
desire of revenge, and an opportunity was soon afforded to
the Prussians of gratifying that sentiment, when, in 1789,
an Austrian regiment who had thus jeered them were almost
cut to pieces by the Prussians, and the colonel and the few
officers of the Austrians were saved by great exertion of the
commander of the Prussians. The prisoners, on being
brought before Frederick, complained of the savage barbarity
of his troops, and that no quarter had been given. Frederick,
who knew the cause of this proceeding, asked, " Did you
ever in your life read such a book as the Bible ?" " Oh,
yes your :Majesty," replied the Austrian officer, with some
surprise. " Well, then, said the king, " that will explain
the matter to you, for there it is " Beware of those
who come to you in sheep's clothing, for inwardly they are
ravenous wolves."

The following description of an Affghan execution will serve
to illustrate the barbarous character of the people into whose
power so many of our countrymen and some of our country_
women, have unhappily fallen : At a little before sunset
three of the horse artillery guns were drawn out, and pre-
sently the three criminals were brought to the ground, led
by an old man with a long beard, stained of an orange colour,
and wearing a long conical red cap, garnished with four per-
pendiculars rows of black horns, pointing out horizontally.
After they had stood a while, another functionary came in a
different shaped cap, also red, the form of a crab's claw,
with a black horn stretching out on each side, and asked if
all was ready. ' All ready, was the reply, whereupon the
said functionary went to make his report to the Schah,
whose sera purda, or pavilion tent, was not above 100 yards
from the place. In ten minutes he returned, and repeated
the order to proceed to execution. The three men were
thenm tied with ropes to the guns, their backs against the
uzzle. The rope, fastened to one of the spokes of the
with their
wheel, passed with knotround

Two remarkable bankruptcies follow each other in Friday
night's Gazette; they are that of a noble lord, liuntingtower,
and Goodered, the keeper of the notorious saloon in Picca-
dilly.

An awful thunder-storm was experienced in Cornwall on
Saturday se'nnight. Two little girls were killed by the elec-
tric fluid at East Crinnis mine, and a bargeman at Trenant
Park was also struck dead.—Bristol Journal.
The collector of the poor-rates at Andover, from whom no
sureties had been required, has absconded with the proceeds
of the last rate. This has occasioned a fresh rate to be le-
vied upon the inhabitants of Andover to make up the defi-
ciency, amounting to several hundred pounds.
The Great North of England Railway directors have de-
clared a dividend of 255. per share, regretting that the
depressed state of trade did not allow alarger payment. The
accounts showed a balance of profit in the half-year's work-
ing of £9,503 Bs. 9d.
The stoppage of the old and highly-respectable firm of
T. W. Smith and Co., in the commission trade, was announ-
ced to-day, and is said to have arisen from their having given
too extensive credit to a party speculating in corn, though
they themselves were not engaged in the same speculation.—
London Times of Monday,
Sidonia Parkin has been committed to Lincoln Castle,
from East Ferry, in the parish of Scotter, and in the parts
of Lindsey, for the wilful murder of her own son, John
Parkin, an illegitimate child, aged seven years, by giving
him poison in some apple-pie. It is said that she did it to
prevent the boy being taken to the union workhouse.—
Boston Herald.

BOOK SHELVES.—To give some idea of the extent of the
new portion of the library of the British Museum, it has, as
a point of useful information, or perhaps also as a matter of
curiosity, been ascertained that the whole length of the
shelves, which hold 260,000 volumes, was 42,210 feet, or
eight miles. The length of the shelves in the library at Munich,
containing 500,000 volumes, taking the same proportion, will
be fifteen miles and two-fifths. The king's library in Paris
of 650,000 volumes, must by the same calculation have not
less than twenty miles of shelf!
POLITICAL STEAM RACING. —WHIG v. TORY. —Two
Lancashire engines, employed on the Stockton and Darling-
ton Railway, have performed the following surprising feats
during the year ending the 30th June :—The Whig engine
travelled 21,737 miles, the Tory travelled 21,759 miles ;
multiplying the miles by the tons—Whig carried 1,072,079
tons over one mile, Tory 1,077,287 tons, during twelve months'
regular work. Tory travelled two miles more, and Whip
carried (over one mile) 1792 tons more than Tory.—Leeds
Mercury.
The Hartlepool Dock and Railway Company have declared
a dividend of £8 per cent. on the whole of the shares of the
company, one half to be paid 'on the Ist of September next,
and the other on the Ist of March next ; both payments clear
of the income tax. The directors' report showed an increase
in trade during the past year of £5,108 17s. 21d., and in the
profits of £2,412 13s. The total receipts for the year were
£44,289 2s. 4d., and the expenditure £25,817 9s. 10d.
Among the other business transacted it was agreed to raise
£52,250 by the issue of new shares of £25 each, to pay off
part of the outstanding loans of the company.
Two THOUSAND POUNDS STOLEN AT PRESTON GUILD.—
We have been informed of a serious loss sustained by Mr.
John Marquis, of Accrington, at Preston Guild, on Monday
evening last. It appears that Mr. Marquis some time since
sold property to Mr. Hargreaves, of Accrington, for £lO,OOO.
a portion of which, to the amount of two thousand pounds,
he happened to have in his pocket on Monday evening last
in Preston, whither he had gone for the purpose of amusing
himself at the festival of the Guild. Mr. Marquis had dined
with Mr. Grundy, machine maker, and after dinner sallied
out to look about him and see the wonders of the Guild.
This was about eight o'clock in the evening. Sauntering
along the street Mr. Marquis was accosted in an affable
manner by a respectable looking person, with whom he
entered into conversation. Their intimacy, although so sud-
denly created, and without the usual ceremonial of introduc-
tion so generally required by John Bull—more particularly
than by any other national gentleman—seemed to grow
rapidly in strength ; for the stranger took Mr. Marquis by
the arm, and thus united they proceeded to admire what was
going on round and about them. They had not however
made much progress in their friendly promenade, when they
were met by a gentleman and lady, who appeared particularly
anxious also to scrape an acquaintance with Mr. Marquis.
Shortly after Mr. Marquis discovered that his pocket book
had besn taken away containing nine one hundred pound
'notes, and two five hundred pound notes, all of the Bank
of England, together with about one hundred pounds in gold
and silver. Mr. Marquis naturally looked about for his
friend, but he had cut his acquaintance. No clue to the
thieves has as yet been discovered. The numbers of the
notes however are known, and unless paid by the Bank of
England previous to yesterday afternoon, will be of no use
to those who stole them.—Blackburn Standard,
FALL OF Two HOUSES.—SHOCKING MUTILATION.—Be-
tween 7 and 8 o'clock on Wednesday morning the inhabitants
of the village Marden was alarmed by a loud crash, the cause
of which was ascertained to be the falling of two houses
situate in the village. Nearly the entire population of the
place congregated round the spot, and the crowd were
horrified at hearing the most heart-rending groans issuing
from the ruins. A number of men were speedily at work in
clearing away the rubbish, &c., and in a short time the body
of an old man, named Roberts, who followed the occupation
of a rick-thatcher. was dug out frightfully mangled, both legs
being broken, and the upper part of the chest compressed,
whilst several of the ribs protruded through the skin ; not-
withstanding which injuries, the man was taken from the ruins
alive, and hopes are entertained of his recovery. Two child-
ren were next found—one of whom had its right shoulder and
arm dreadfully crushed ; the other child escaped with com-
paratively but slight injury. The next person dug out was
a woman, the mother of the two children last named, and
daughter of the old man, Roberts. The poor creature was
enceinte, and a fallen beam of wood had been thrown across
the lower part of the' unfortunate woman's stomach with such
violence that a premature delivery has been the result. The
child, quite dead, was discoverd near the mother, who,
although labouring under the most acute bodily pain, is ex-
pected to recover. The above persons were the entire inmates
occupying one of the houses; the other being unoccupied.
Both tenements were deemed in an unsafe state, and Roberts
has had repeated notices to quit the premises. The escape
of the inmates with life is singularly providential. A dog be-
longing to the family was found crushed quite flat on the
hearthstone, and a couple of pigs in a sty adjoining the house
were killed on the spot. From the statement of one of the
children, it appears that they were in bed up-stairs with their
. _

mother at the time the accident occurred. Tbeirgrandfather,
Roberts, had gone down stairs to light the fire. Suddenly a
part of the flooring gave way, and their mother was thrown
violently out of bed through the opening in the floor, and
immediately afterwards the bedsteads on which they were
laying fell with the remainer of the floor, and in its descent
the bed and bedclothes were thrown over the children, which
doubtless prevented their receiving greater injury. The
houses were only cnmposed of one story, or more fatal
results might have ensued.—Bolton Chronicle.
DARING OUTRAGE.—OR Monday last a most violent
outrage was committed by a gang of the Claddagh fishermen
on Mr. Dudley Persse, under the following circumstances :
—Mr. Persse, accompanied by some friends, went out in his
fishing-boat on the above day, but, being aware of the vio-
lence and intimidation practised by the Claddagh fishermen
on any who are hardy enough to fish in the bay, and thus
dispute the monopoly of these daring legislators, took the
precaution to arm himself and his friends. When about
three miles from Burrin, they discovered a fleet of large
sailing-boats leaving Galway, all formed into a regular line
of sailing. They immediately knew who were approaching
them, and got in readiness to return back as fast as they
could, to accomplish which they had to pass through the
entire fleet, which was formed in different lines, to prevent
their escape. They were furiously attacked by the boats,
manned with from twenty to thirty men each, armed with

sticks, stones, hatchets, and different weapons of destruc-
tion. Several of the boats made an attempt to run them
heave
down, the crews continually using the most terrific language,
threatening them with death, and telling the steersman,

and showed such determination to resist. His boat

but still afraid of the party armed above them. About two
hundred of them landed, wading up to their necks in water ;
still Mr. Persse and his men did not fire ; they attempted to
surround them, but on every side the little party were pre-
pared, and threatened to fire if they came on. At last, a
small party of police arrived from Currenrue, a place about
three miles off, and on the leaders being questioned by the
serjeant as to the cause of their outrageous conduct, they
replied, that if Mr. Persse attempted to fish agam, neither
his boat nor his crew would ever more be heard (Ai and
after this notice they went off. Mr. Persse showed the
greatest forbearance throughout this trying scene.—Dublin

One lady died on Saturday in consequence of the injuries
received at the fall of the scaffolding at Edinburgh during her
Majesty's passage through the city, and one man is so
seriously hurt that there is no chance of his recovering. Six
others are in the hospital.

HoLK II AM .—We hear with much pleasure that the present
Earl of Leicester is not likely to tread in the political foot-
steps of his father. It is rumoured that the young peer has
already discovered the folly of liberalism, and is likely to be-
come a staunch conservative.—Standard.

The largest sheet of giass in the world has just been fiuished
at the works of the Thames Plate-glass Company at Poplar,
and may be seen at their warehouse in town. It is Isft. Sin.
long by Sift. wide, and will, no doubt, be placed in some
public building, as there are few private residences in this
country where it could be fixed.

On Monday evening, while two seamen belonging to the
Peace and Plenty of this port, at preset lying at Petty, were
returning in their boat, from amusing themselves by fishing,
the boat upset, close alongside their vessel, when both men
sunk, and were drowned, nothwithstanding the efforts made
by their shipmates to save them.—lnverness Courier.
The shareholders of the Aylesbury Railway held their
half-yearly meeting on Monday last, when it was determined
that they would forego their present dividend rather than let
the debts of the company remain unsatisfied. The £l,OOO
applicable for the dividend is, therefore, to be disposed of in
that way. It appears to be the wish of the shareholders that
either a sale or a perpetual lease of the line be made to the
Birmingham Company, who are the present renters of it.
RETIRING FROM THE TURF.—The Earl of Chesterfield
has direeted the whole of his valuable breeding stud at
Bretbby-park, consisting of brood mares, stallions, foals,
and yearlings, to be brought to the hammer next week.
Lord George Bentinck and Mr. Bowes, whose stud will be
sold at Doncaster, in addition to the Marquis of West-
minster's, are about to reduce their racing and breeding
stocks.

A CLASSICAL HORTICULTURIST.—At Sutton, near
Abingdon, Berks, a board is fixed up on a small cottaze,at
the end of the village, with the following unique announce-
ment : " Thomas Cullum, arborist, florist, horticulturist,
propagatory of culinary and esculent vegetables, indigenous
and exotic trees, shrub, and plants ; budder, grafter, pruner,
and trainer of standard, espalier, and mural fruit-trees, and
operator of every practical branch of the horticultural
geoponics.—N.B. Plantations laid out on the most pictur-
esque, geometrical, and scientific principles, on the shortest
notice.

Some of the newspapers mention the fact of the Emperor
of China having left Pekin for Tartary, and speak of it as a
flight to avoid the British forces. If we are not mistaken,
however, the emperor every year spends the summer at
Gahol, a town of Tartary. about 150 miles from Pekin,
where he has a magnificent palace, and where he received
Lord Macartney's embassy in 1793. We imagine that the
supposed flight is nothing more than the usual migration of
the court to avoid the summer heats of Pekin.

The Hull and Selby Railway Company have declared a
dividend of 105. per share, a smaller one than appears to have
been expected from the traffic returns. The cause of the
dividend being less than anticipated is said to be the extra
expense to which the Railway is subject by the running of
mail trains at different hours to those despatched on ordinary
business. A resolution was also moved empowering the di-
rectors to apply to Parliament for power to raise £250,000 by
a further issue of shares to pay off the debts of the company,
and leave a surplus for the efficient working of the concern.
RUN won GOLD.—Some ludicrous incidents arose out of
the withdrawal from the banks of the money belonging to
several sick and benefit societies. One case has been men-
tioned to us in which the members drew between £3OO and
£4OO from the bank, and resolved to place it in the hands of
the landlord of the house at which they hold their meetings.
The landlord, having no use for the money, and finding it
would add to his cares, determined to place it in a bank, and
actually deposited it the same day in the very bank from
which it had been taken. The members of another society
having withdrawn their money, were divided in their opi-
nions as to the disposal of it. It was proposed to place it in
the landlord's hands, but that was opposed, as were several
propositions to place it in the hands of trustworthy mem-
bers, and to divide it, and they ultimately agreed to return
with it to the bank from which it had been taken.—Bolton
Press.

It is said that the government has decided that the Rev.
Robert Daly is to be the new bishop, and that the delay in
making the official announcement arises from the necessity
of having the judgment of the Prerogative Court, pronoun-
cing the reverend gentleman as the duly-elected Dean of St.
Patrick's confirmed by the Court of Delegates, to which
Doctor Wilson has appealed, preparatory to Mr. Daly's
elevation to the bench. This would give government the
nomination to the deanery, which in that event would be-
come vacant. It really does look as if this were the case, for
nothing short of such an arrangement being in contempla-
tion could justify the extraordinary delay that has taken
place in making the appointment.—Dublin Evening Mail.
BANKRUPT GAMBLERS.—For the edification of these
gentlemen, we give the following clause in the New Bank-
ruptcy Act, which comes into operation next November :
" No bankrupt shall be entitled to the certificate under this
act, and any such certificate, if obtained, shall be void if such
bankrupt shall have lost by any sort of gaming or wagering
in one day twenty pounds, or within one year next preceding
his bankruptcy have lost £2OO by any contract for the pur-
chase or sale of any government or other stock, where such
contract was not performed within one week after the con-
tract, or where the stock bought or sold was not actually
transferred or delivered in pursuance of such contract."
STATE OF THE MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS.--There
is no material change since our last, in the relative positions
of the workpeople and their employers in the county about
Manchester. To the northward of the town, both spinners
and weavers are at work at the old prices ; whilst to the
southward and eastward,—especially at Ashton, Stalybridge,
Glossop, Hyde and Stockport,—all are still at a stand, and,
as far as we can learn, without any reasonable prospect of a
speedy resumption of employment- In Manchester, the
spinners are all or nearly all at work, whilst the weavers are

forcing out the crown of his hat, descended in front of his left
side occasioning a complete lontitudinal section of his shirt

foot into fragments, which were scattered to a considerable
