pale faces of young children. Perhaps the indul-

arrive, and rheumatic twnges will be the strongest
evidences of former irregularities. Aged people
require more sleep than the young, but at regular
intervals. If they desire to be healthy in cold
weather. let them be careful in the warm. Much
sleep in summer portends restless winter; and
this observation is so true, that those who are ma
turay feeble cannot be too guarded in the habits
they may establish in the spring.

A bookseller in Baltimore lately received through

closing sum Of money, and stating that boy had
nearly year ago stolen book from his store
but that Cod" to adopt the simple and expires

this deed-let him keep the secret in his own heart

N;th kindness; and the compliment he has paid
him lla, been earned by the unchangcable admra-
ton of the other. Scott las ever spoken Of BY
as he has lately written, and all those who know
him viii feel that this consist cncy is characteristic
mus, however, confess, lis forgiveness Of Mr..
Jeffrey was an unlooked-for and unexpected piece
d humility and loving kindness, and, as Scotch
man, am rather willing to regard it as a prcsage of
early DEATH and to conclude that the poet was "fey,
and forgave his arch enemy in the spirit of the dy
ing Highlander" Wecl, weel forgive him. but
God confound You, my twa sons, Duncan and Gil
bert if YOU forgive him" The criticism with which
the Edinburgh Review welcomed the first flight
which Byron's Muse took, would have crushed and
broken any spirit less dauntess than his own; and
for long while he entertained the horror of a re-
viewer which bird Of song feels for the presence
Of the raven But they smoothed his spirit down,
first by submission and then by dolatry, and his
pride must have been equal to that which made the
angels fall if it had refused to be soothed bv the
obeisance of q reviewer. One never forgets, if he
should happen to forgive insult an injury Of
fercd in youth-it grows with the growth and
strengthens with the strength, and may reasonably
doubt the truth Of the poets song when he sings Of
his dear Jeffrey. The news of his death came upon
London like an earthquake and though the com
mon multitude ignorant of literature and desti-
tutc Of feeling for the higher flights of poetry, yet
they consented to feel by faith, and believed, be-
cause the newspapers believed, that one Of the
brightest lights in the armament of pocsy was OK
tinguishcd forever, With literary men sense of
the public misfortune was mingled, perhaps, with
sense that giant was removed from their way and
that they had room to break a lance with an
equal, Vithou e fear of being overthrown by fiery
lmpctuosty and colossal strength. The World of
Literature is now resigned to lower, but, perhaps,
not less prcsumpuous poetic spirits. But among
those who feared him, or cnyed him, or loved him.
there are none who sorrow not for the national loss
and greye not that Byron fell 50 soon, and on TO-
reign shore.

was announced from time to time that he was to be
exhibited in state, and the progress fthe embellsh-

OF an hundred publications. They were at length

from the admiration of the rich the latter were in
dulged with tickets of admission and day was set
apart for them to go and wonder over the deckcd
room and the cmbllzoned bier Peers and peeresses,
priests, poets, and politicians came in gilded cha
riots and hired hacks to gaze upon the splendour of
the funeral preparations and to see in how rich and
vain STROUD the body OF the immortal had been
hid. Those idle trappings in which rank seeks to
marx its altitude above the vulgar belonged to the
state Of the peer rather than to the state of the poets
genius required attractions and all this magnifi-
cence served only to divide our regard with the
man whose inspired tongue was now silenced for

prvy councillor with his coronet, and his long de-
scent from princes on one side, and from heroes on
both-and who did not care for George Gordon BY

counts from the Morea continue to be
favorable for the Porte. Ibrahim Pa.
cha, whose attempt on the Mills of
Napoli di Romania would probably
have succeeded, had not the English
and French assisted the Greeks, has in
deed retired to Tripolitza; but imme-
diateIy after joined Husscin Bey, who
landed with lcinforcements at Navarin.
Whatever the friends Of the Greeks
may say, it is most likely that he has
since resumed offensive operations
Mean time, the part which, during his
attempt at Napoli di Romania, was ia
ken by the English commanders sta.
toned there, is very remarkable, and
is said to have led the Porte to make
bitter complaints, through the Refs Eff.
fendi, to the British legation here. 1t
is stated that the aforementioned Brit.
ish commander not orly encouraged
the Greeks to defend themselves on
that occasion, but even distributed pro-
visions among their troops. Reports
even made the citadel Napoli Romania
to be formally occupied by the English.
These accounts give rise to various re-
Elections, and many persons begin to
think that England will at length take
an active part in favor Of the insur-
gents.
Brussels, Aug. Cove are Informed
that the reprinting Of French works,
which has never been carried on to
such an extent in our provinces as at

costs with the postage and triple stamp,

Guiding the porterage, will be only 10

A few days since we conversed with
a gentleman recently from Ohio, who
has visited every section on the route
Of the intended Canal; he states that
nearly the whole line has been put I'M
der contract and at lower rates than
had been calculated. Most Of the con-
tractors are men who perfectly under
stand their business, having executed
similar works on the Erie Canal. The
greatest exertions are making TO COM
plete this great undertaking by all
classes of inhabitants, and it is conf
IDENTITY believed there, the whole Canal,
exceeding three hundred miles in
length, will be navigable in about
three years from this time.

The hostilities against the Brazilian
government by the Patriots Of the Ban

was thought at Rio that the govern.

Mr.. Racquet had not received his ex-

MONTREAL,

A census has lately been taken in the
cities of Quebec and Montreal, by the
authority of the Government; and the
general result, we understand, has been
made known, though not officially. A
letter from Canada Informs us, that the
population OF the former place amounts
to nearly twenly-three thousand, and
exceeds that of Quebec by five or six
hundred. IL is singular that these two
cities should be so nearly equal in point
of numbers, but it is not to be supposed
Quebec can long sustain successful
competition, as the whole surface with
in the walls is already crowded with
buildings, and great exertions are max
ing to increase the business Of Mon
treal.
Large tracts Of land in Upper Ca
NADIA are rapidly settling, some Of
them with valuable population; and
great plans are in meditation to Sc
cure as much Of the trade as pos

proposed canals were opened from
Lake Erie to Montreal; but it is certain
tia, the course, the velocity and the
obstacles of the st. Lawrence, as well
as the climate of the country, would
operate very unfavorable to navigation,
and that the canals of New-York, as
well as the course Of Connecticut river,
