DOMESTIC DUTIEs.-So entirely do hui
man actions derive their dignity or their
mcanness from the moiires by which they
are prompted, that it is no violation of
truth to say, the most servile drudgery
may be cnnobled by the self-sacrifce, the
patience, the cheerful submission to duty,
with which it is performed. Thus high
minded and intellectual woman is never
more truly great than when willingly and
Judlciously performing kind offices for
the sick and much as may be said, and
said justly, in praise of the public virtues
of women, the voice of nature is so pow
crful in every human heart, that could
the question of superiority on these two
points be universally proposed, response
would be heard throughout the world, in
favor OF woman in her private and do
nestle character.

From the Port Philip Patriot.
THE EGLINTON TOURNAMENT.
(Concluded,)

The toll-kcepers on the different
roads must have made n capital Job
Of it the first day, as we have heard
that even the vehicles on the ground
were estimated at 200. The second
would have been equally good had
the weather been favorable.
During the early part of Thursday
the weather continued dreadfuIIy wet,
but it got better occasionally. In
the mean time the crowds of people
flOcked to the fitting ground, which
was dreadlully cut up. 1t was well
known, however, to those who thought
of the matter that it was impossible to
get on with the Tournament, the ar
mour being all wet and rusty, and
every article of dress that had been
worn the preceding day completely
soaked through. Understanding that
many OF the people from the surround
ing villages were assembling, the Earl
himself rode out TO the spot, and after
wards to kilwinning and other places,
to inform the people how matters
stood. His Lordship stated that it
was impossible to go on that day, but
on Friday, wet or dry, the fitting would
be proceeded with. At every place
which he visited, the Earl was receiv-
ed with the loudest cheers, for his
attentive cOndesccnsiOn, and every one
was more loud in his praise than a.

The arrival of the Brgantine Rosa, from
Manila. has excited some curiosity, the YES
sci being built upon principle which APP
pears, according to theory, as faulty as it is
extraordinary; but her performances and
admirable qualities as a sca-boat, set at
nourht all the established notions and make
her sort Of naval paradox
The Rosa with a beam of less than sew
enteen feet, a length over all of nearly one
hundred and twenty, and depth of nine
combines qualities which may be sought in
vain, in vessels constructed upon the plan
which is supposed to be the only rational
one. The object of her builder, it is said,
was to evade the measurement duties in siam,
where it is well known the charges are more
exorbitant than even in China
We understand that during the Rosa 5
passage from Manila, by way of the Caro-
line Islands, some important notifications
of the geographical positions Of the islands
have been made by her commander an ac-
count (which may be found in another place.
we lcuIU TDUl Il li'itcT received by n
friend, per Harlequin, that the French Cor
vette Danaide, which has been expected for
some weeks past from the Coast of Calilor-
MIA, will not be here until August or Sep
TENDER. She will probably visit ali the ports
on the Coast before leaving there.
The king and his suite sailed on Saturday
last, in the schooner Clarion, for Maui 1t
was their intention to remain here until the
arrival of the Exploring Squadron But as
this is an event which cannot be counted
upon with any degree of certainty, they
wse'y turned their steps homeward, having
nothing in a political point Of view, to require
their presence here.
We are informed that about so
specimens of birds collected in the
Oregon country and stuffed by Mr.. T..
.. Hall in the course of his late visit
to that interesting region have been
presented to the Cabinet of the Sand
witch Island Institute.

In the next fitting, the Knight all
the Dolphin earl Cassilis) challens.I
ed the Knight olthc Griffin (Earl Grail
vcn). First course, both missed secI
ond ditto in the third, Earl Cassili,I
hit his opponent, and was declared thek
winner. No lances were broken.
The Knight of the Ram (the Honor
able Captain Cage then challenged
the Knight of the Swan (Honorabe[
+. Jcrningham.) Three courses wereI
run without a single hit, and it was
then officially announced that the
match was undecided.
The Knight of the Red Rose Mr.
Lechemere) then entered the lists
against the Knight of the Griffin CARL
Craven.) Three tits were run, with.
out however, the splintering of lance
and the Griffin was declared the win.
ncr.
The last course was between the
Knight of the Red Lion 81. O. Fairie)
with the Knight of the Burning Tow.
er (Sir F. Hopkins.) In the first they
slightly touched in the second, the
lance of the Red Knight was shivered,
A third bout was tried, and was a
miss and finally the palm was adjudg
ed to J. G. Farlie, Esquire.
During the fitting, of which the
above is a summary, the young noble
men and gentlemen were actively en-
gagged in what is called running at the
ring that is placing the ring sus-
pended 10y a rope, and allowing all par
ties to take tilt at it, for the purpose
of removing it, when the steed is at
full gallop. The Earl of Eglinton was
one Of the most successful competitors
in this Department. 49,
The fitting at the ring was followed
on Friday with much heart and activ-
ity. The ring is suspended from a
cord near Y on a level with the horses
head, and taking start, perhaps thir-
ty yards distant, the Knight or Squire
urges his horse to the gallop, and the
triumph consists in bearing away the
ring on the point Of spear. Lord
EgIintOn was successful above all 9TH
crs in this manly exercise.
As a termination, the total number
Of knights rcbelmed themselves, and
being started from the respective ends
of the lists, they struck at each other
with their swords in passing. Only
ore or two cuts were given; but in
the case of the Marquis Of Waterford
and Lord Afford, instead of moving
on after a blow or two, the pair wheel
ed round their stceds and commenced
hitting in real earnest. This was con-
ceived to be part of the performance
by the spectators but it was no
such thing; and Sir Charles Lamb,
who dashed up between the combat
ants, had quite enough to do to sep
arate the pair.
A splendid ball and banquet was held
in the evening, and Lord Eglinton an.
nounccd that the fitting would be car
ried on with all spirit the following
day, should the weather permit. The
amusementS in the field were not fin
ished till after p. NJ.
The Polynesian., 1840-07-18

to tOrrCt the suilcrlngs OF MTk We'd
nesday, in contemplation of the brlll-
ant scene before them. The armour of
the Knights, and the gpudy attire OF their
squircs glttered in the sun, and altogeth-
or, the procession to-day was as unlike the
previous one as possibly could be.
On Friday, the procession received a
welcome accession from the ladies resi-
dent in the castle. Lady Seymour, the
Queen of Love and Beauty, took her
place in the procession, and was most
enthusiastically ctccrcd along the en-
tire route. Her ladyship was most bril-
liantly dressed, and the trappings of
her palrey created scarcely less interest.
Among the lady visitors were recognised
Lady Montgomerie; Lady Jane Mont
comcrie; Lady Charlcville; Miss Mac
donald, and other ladies to the number
of nine, who were on horseback, their
palfreys each were attended by a page,
and the Queen of Beauty's ira in was
borne by her Majesty's pages, who re-
joiced to be employed in such a cause.
Next in point of attraction was a squad
ron of female archers, who also oincd
in the procession. These. to the num-
Der of sixteen consisted of the titled
I. damscls at present residing at Eglinton.
They were most beautifully and uniform
l y dressed for the spectacle. Above a
robe of white silk or cotton, there was
a tunic or Jacket of green silk velvet,
lined with rich fur. The turbans were
also of silk, of the colour of Lincold
green. They too were trimmed with
fur, white as unsunncd snow; and even
the sandals partook of the national sport
ing colour of green. Along the whole
line of the route the cheering was most
enthusiastic. and Lord Eglnton came
in for his full share of these plaudits,
which he acknowledged in the most couy-
tcous manner.
After due preparation, it was anoun-
ced that the Knight of the Gael U.ord
Glcnl yon) and the Knight of the Black
Lion (Viscount AllordD agreed to meet
in the lists. The contest was very good
one, and eventually declared in favour
of The Knight of the Gael, who shivcred
his lance against his opponent.
The herald then announced that tilt
would take place between the Knight
of the Golden Lion G.. O. Fairlie) and
the Knight of tic Griffin (Earl Craven.)
In the first tilt, both lanccs were touched
but no serious damage done. In the
second tilt. the Knight of the Golden
Lion touched the lance of his opponent
and in the third tilt the Knight of the
Griffin broke his lance near the hilt, and
victory declared in his favour. The tilt
ing of these Knights was much applaudcd
from the GOODNESS and intrepidity of their
proceedings.
1t was then announced that the Earl
of Eglinton would tilt with the Knight
of the Rose q. O. Lechmcre).
In the first course they missed. Ditto
the second. In the third course, Lord
Eglinton broke his lance in capital STYLE.
and was rewarded by the applause of the
Queen of Beauty and the Public.
Succeeding this tilt, the herald moved
opposite the seat of the Queen of Beau
! ty and after repeating 90 yes" three
times, announced that an Unknown
Knight had challenged the Knight of
the Dol phin. Earl CassiIis.) This

Ships desire 10 amusc the public was
a subject of unqualified cuIoglltm. II
may be mentioned here, that the Great
Pavilion erected ut SO much expense,
and decorated with such magniliccnce
for the Ball and Dinng.room, was on
Wednesday evening, discovered to be
totally unfit for the purpose - the rain
having made its way through the can
vass at every point. This was, OF
course, another severe dsappoint-
mcnt. The principal use this costly
cdiiice could be put to on Thursday
was to clean the armour in. bu'ing
the attcr-part of that day it was dried
| n little by numerous stoves, and many
of the ladies and gentlemen pcram-
buIated up and down it. 1t was also
/ the scene of some capital sport in the
afternoon, when the weather became
| fine. In the presence of the Queen
Of Beauty, with Il whole galaxy Of
other charming women, and men Of
| high rank, there were various fitting
matches on foot, the cOmbatants bcinL
dressed in mail There was also some
exceedingly fine fencing with the stick
and broadsword. A regular sct-to with
the sticks betWiXt Prince BOnapartC
and Il very fine young gentleman, Mr.
Charteris, afforded much amusement :;
but the young Prince only came off
second best, as he afterwards did with
/ the broadsw word, in four or five splen-
did slapping bouts with MIR. Charles
Lamb. Here the combatants were
-completcly encased in mail, with vizors
down. Had it not been so, and had
! the match been one Of life and death,
the poor Prince would have had no
chance with his opponent at this weap-
on, which seems to be indigenous in
| the hands of Briton. The combat
ants were, of course, rewarded with the
hearty applause ofal present, amongst
whom we observed the Duke of Mon
|trose, Lord Belhavcn, Sir Charles
Lamb, Mr.. Charles Stirling, Mr.. Jer-
Inynham, &c. &c. There was n grand
ball in the evening. 1t was about ten
O'Clock when they began to assemble !;
and in the course of two hours the
halls were crowded with the most
elegant asscmbage, almost the whole
of them appearing in splendid fancy
dresses. Waltzing and quadriIes soon
afterwards commenced, and were kept
up with great spirit. Lady Seymour
waltzcd with Lord Eglinton. We are
most willing to allow that her Lady
ship is Queen of Beauty, and we are
gallant enough to do so, although her
ILadyship had not been set down as
such in the bills of the day but we
may be allowed to express an opinion,
that there was no lack of Queens of
Beauty at either the ball or around
the fitting ground - indeed, we have
very seldom seen such a display of fine
women, not a few of whom belonged
to the ''west countrie" and the banks
of the Clyde.
The splendour and variety Of the
dresses were quite dazzling. The Span
lard, the Italian, the Greek, the Turk,
the Gael, the Indian, and dozens more
were duly represented with every va
riety of British dresses, except the hoop,
from the time of Charles II. downwards.
! The female nobility, in their gorgeous
robes, had most fascinating appearance
while the Queen of Beauty herself moved
along with easy, graceful, yet dignicd
men. The dancing was kept up till an
advanced hour on Friday morning. The
