THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

TmE rapid Extension of the English
Language, oflatc years, is a remarkable fac,
in the history of the world. Two centuries
ago it was spoken by but few thousands Of
the millions who pcopled tho globe beyond
the four seas. In England, the ancient Brit
ish language was employed, almost exclusive
~, by the inhabitants of Wales and Cornwall
and the Gaelic by the northern Highlandcrs
But the increase of the population of England
the great facilities afforded to tho internal
communication by improved roads and rapid
travcling-and the fashion ofexploring every
part of the land-havc totally driven the
ancient British, as a separate tongue, out OF
Cornwall; and arc gradually supplanting the
lccts of the lowland Scotch. In Ireland,
again, the cultivation Of the Ersc is declining
while that of the English is advancing. But
abroad the spread of the language is more
remarkable. On the continent of North
America it is in use among little less than
fifteen millions of men. In the British West
Indies it may be considered the universal
tongue In South America j, is extending it,
self, though slowly; but the enterprise of
British merchants is rendering the cultivation
of it "A matter of greater necessity among the
inhabitants. In Africa it is fixed at the cape
Sierra Leone, and other stations on the coast.
Egypt contains more English than any
other foreigners. Liberia, if that colony
answers its present expectations, will assist
in extending it !; ard if the ncwly- found Niger
be used as a highway for trading with the
interior of the African continent, English
words will be imported with English wares
into portion the world in which its adop-
ton may be rcckoncd on as more probable
than that of any other foreign tongue. In
llmdostan the English is gradually advancing;
the more educated natives are learning it ;
and, as greater opportunities are given to
the settlement of adventures there, the
Ilindostancc and other native languages mus,
gradually feel the powerful competition OF
their rival. In the Eastern Archipelago, and
in the islands ofthe Pacific, It's widely d!luscd
and last, though by no means least in poin,
of importance, it may be considered as all
hut universal on the continent of Australasia
and in Van Dicmcn's Land. Europe is the
only part Of the globe in which it makes
progress among comparatively few besides
the learned but Germany and France COM
prchcnd Il large number Of scholars who deem,
its acquisition necdful part Of their educa-

in its place. As il is now in most vessels, it
is mere Saving to the owners; and this &C
counts for the sudden increase OF temperance
ships. If every merchant, when he strikes
grog from his list, were obliged to substitute
coffee or chocolate costing as much, I fear
Jack might be left to 60 10 ruin on the old

prohibit it in the forccastlc, especially in Sc
we're weather, does no, look much like consis-
tency and sound principle, or anything but a
niggardly saving Of the expense.
An instance of most cruel and unsuitable
severity on board the Pilgrim, (lc brig in

1t cannot be sufficiently abridged to be added

From Elockwood's Magazine
HOME IL TIE SKIES.

When up to endless skies VIC gaze,
Where stars pursu, their nightly ways
We think we see from earth low clod
The wide and shining home Of God.
But could we rise to moon or sun,
Or path where planets daily run.
Still heaven would spread above rs far,
And earth remote would seem a star.
IT'S vain to dream those tracts of space,
With all their worlds approach his face,
One glory fills each wheeling hal--
One love has shaped and filled them all.
This earth with all its dust and tears,
Is his no less than wonder spheres;
And ran-drops weak, and grnins of sand,
Are stamped by his immediate hand.
The rock, the wave, the little Hover,
All fed by streams of living power
That spring from one Almighty will
Whaie or his thoughts conceive, mlf,l.
And this is all thu, man can claim !
Is this orr longing's final aim!
To he like all things rolmd-no more
Than pebbles cast on Times grey shore }
Can man, no more than beast, aspire
To know his being awful Sire !
And born and lost on Natures breast,
10 blessing seek, but there to rest?
Not this our doom, thou God benign
Whose rays on us uncloudcd shine!
Thy breath sns'nns yon fiery DOME
But nan is mos, thy lHvorcd home.
We view those halls Of painted air
And own thy presence makes them fair;
But nearer still 10 thee, o Lord,
Is he whose thoughts 10 thine accord.
