Fierce ghtnngs split the sky,
And all the west seemed iringed with gold,

Along the azure sky,

THE ENGLISH g. FRENCH LANGUAGES.
A very learned Frenchman, in CONVEX
sation with DR.. Wallace, Professor of
Geometry in the University Of Oxford,
about the year 1850, and author of a
grammar of the English language written
in Latin, after expatIating with the Doc
tor on the copousness of tho French lam
guage, and its richness in derlvntions and
synonymes, produced, by way of illustra-
ton, the following four lines on rope
making:
Quand I'm corder, cordant, veut corder un corde;
Pour sa corde corder, trois cordons il accord:
Mais, 81 un des cordons de Ia cordo decorde
lie Gordon decordant fiit decorder la corde.
TO show that the English language was
at least equally rich and copious. DR.. Wal.
lace Immediately translated the French
into as many lines of English, word for
word, using the word twist to express
the French word 'corder.'
When a twister a-twisting, will twist him twist,
For the twisting of his twist he three twincs doth
intwist;
But if one Of the twines of the twist do untwi.t,
The Irvine that untwisteth nntwisteth the twist
Here were verbs, nouns, participates,
and synonymes, to match the French.
To show further the power and versatility
of the English, DR.. w. added the four
following lines, which continue the sub.
ject:
Untwisiing the Irvine that UNFINISHED between,
He twirs with his twster the two in n Irvine;
Then twice having twisted the twines Of the Irvine,
He twisteth the Irvine he had twned in twain.
The French funds had been exhausted
at the outset. Not with the English; for
DR.. Wallace, pushing his triumph, added
yet four other lines, which follow:
The twain that in twning before in the twine
A. twins were intwis,ed he now doth untwnc;
'Twixt the twain in,ertwisting a Irvine more be-
tween,
He, twisting his twister, mikes twist of the
Irvine.
Mr.. Adam Clarke, to whom we are in
debted for the record Of the preceding
trial Of skill between the two philolo.
gists, adds, in conclusion, that the ques-
ton whether there is another language
in the universe capable of such variety
of reflections, or which can afford so ma
ny terms and derivatives, all legitimate,
coming from the same radix, without bor-
rowing a single term from another tongue,
or coming one for the sake of the nonce,
is doubtful for there is not word used
by DR.. Wallace in these lines, which is
not purely Anglo Saxon, not one exotic
being entertained"

A Day ON BOARD OF A STEAMER.-A
passenger on board of the Britannia, on
her last departure from Boston, writes
from Halifax to the editor OF the Trenton
Emporium, as follows:
"The day on board is spent as follows /:
From daylight until eight the ship is sort
of general dressing room. This business
over, the passengers assemble in the din
ing room, where each has his seat at ta-
bic permanently assigned for the voyage.
At half past eight the bell rings, and an
English breakfast appears--to wit: teas,
coffee, fish, beef, ham, eggs, sausages, and
in short every thing that was ever heard
of as morning dish. This occupation
lasts an hour. Then those who are in
clined to walk, promenade the deck--those
who do not choose exercise, amuse them
selves in reading (for there is good Ii
brary on board) or in playing chess, &c.,
for all the implements for all sorts of games
are here. Thus passes the time till twelve,
when the tables of the dining room are
spread with cold provisions and liquors,
preceded by tureens of soup. This occu.
pies half an hour-then amusemenis go
on till four--then comes the regular din
or fourteen kinds Of meat,
fish and fowl, soups, pastries, buildings,
nuts, fruits, &C.. &C., in prolusion which
have no where met with on land. The
after part of the day is devoted pretty
much to lounging. An excellcn, supper
comes at eight, and by ten we are general
ly AIDED. This-the round of two days,
is doubtless sample of what the voyage
is to be-"

MAsuFAcTURg OF the course
of lecture recently delivered at the Royal Instu-
ton in London, the manufacture OF soda water,
some curious facts connected with that branch Of
trade mentioned. very great portion Of
what is sold as soda-water, does not contain one
grain of soda, but is merely plain water, impregna-
ted with carbonic acid gas not because soda is too
expensive article but because the apparatus for
forcing gas into mere water. costs from three to
four hundred dollars whereas the cost Of machine
ry requisite to impregnate water containing a
solution of soda, Is from fifteen TO twenty dol
lass. A greet loss occurs to the manufacturers
from the breakage of bottles in corking. The lee
turer mentioned that many twenty dozen were
daily broken in of the large manufactures in
London, and that its yards were paved with the
bottoms Of the broken bottles. Hence, bottles that
have stood the test are valuable, and the gas man.
ufacturer gladly gives full price for the old bottles.

The ENGLISH In CHINA.

The Foreign News by the Columbia, published
in Saturdays american, was calculated to arrest
attention by the une pccted suddenness of its ar
rival well by reason OF its great Importance.
The British are in possession Of Canton How
strangely it sounds-how incredible would such
event have appeared if it had been predicted FIVE
years ago!
With every successive collision between the Chi
nese and their INVADERS the imbecility of the former
appears more and more manifest. The conquest
Of Mexico and Peru by the Spaniards under Cortes
and Pzarro affords the only parallel to the warfare
now urged in the Celestial Empire. How far the
supremacy of Great Britain may be established
over that country would seem to depend enttely
on the extent Of the views of policy that may direct
her movements. IL Canton could be taken without
the loss of single man, there is not much reason
apprehend etfectua resistance to any enterprise
which the invading forces may see proper to under
take.
When Lord Give carried the British stand
ard from victory to victory in Hlndostan, at the
first conquest of that region, the spirit of plum
der, once quickened by the sight of vast treasures
lying at the feet Of the conquerors, gave powerful
impulse to the progress of the invaders IL this
same spirit should be aroused by the sack OF Can
ton, who can venture TO guess where It's ravagcs

ed wealth OF centuries is deposited7 The amount,

The curiosity OF the civilized world is aroused TO

that race which, from mere foothold as starting

er to the extremity of the earlh--conquering the
wilderness of nature in hemisphere, and over
throwing empires in the other! Such results, 1t
they teach nothing else, will at least show that in
the mind OF man dwell the true elements Of human
power-that ideas and principles real things,
whereunto the outward paraphernalia of state and
