IRELAND IN 1600.—Among the unpubliihed state papers in Hatfield House is one tailed " Con.iderations touching ye Queen's service in Ireland." Among other things, this recommends temporary toleration of ltomanism,---lhe sending out of clergy men, who are vehement and zealous persuaders, and not schoiasticall, to be resident in the principal' towns,—the continuing and replenishing of tic College beganne-at Dublvn, —the placing of good men as ,bishops iu the Seas there,,-Ike taking care that versions of Bibes, Catechisms, and other, books of instruction, he made into the Irish language,—and the encouragement of an interchange of settlers between England and ircianl If these ". Considerations" had been . acted on, how different would the present state of Ireland be. ImPORTANT DiscovEar.—We understand that Sir David Brewster has, within this last week, made two very. remarkable discoveries, which promise to be of some-use to science. - In a new salt discovered by Dr. William Gregory, viz., au oxalate of chromium and potash, he has detected the extraordinary property that one of its images formed by .double reTraclion is of a bnght scarlet, while the other image is of a bright blue colour. In examining the pure liquid, aanhydrous nitrous acid,_ prepared in the manner which is supposed to yield it, in its purest state, he found that the acid actually consisted of two sepa. rate fluids, one of which was heaVier than, the other, and possessed-a much higher refractive power. When the two fluids were shaken they formed an. imperfect union, and separated again by being allowed to remain at rest. What the second fluid is remains to be investigated; it may, perhaps, turn out to be an entirely new substance. Its physical properties are now under investigation.—Caledoniaa Merculy. Tue.

He has need of more substantial food, of constant firing, of cravats, double cravats, coats, great coats ; tea, ! brandy, spirits; a larger wardrobe, on account of the increased consumption caused by the smoke and the wet, &c. &c. &c. Comfort is in the mouth of every Englishman at oxen- moment; it is .the half of his life. My own countrymen make every effort, and with reason, to obtain the pleasures of the life to come; the. English with no less reason, to procure the pleasuies of -the' present. The word " comfort" is the source of the riches and the power of England. Idleness, in this country, necessarily leads to suicide, because it is We priva.tion.of every thing... Nature has here, as it were, denied every. thing to man, but in recompense has bestowed on him the power and the perseverance to procure every thing for himself. " Either read, or walk, or play," said a good mother, in my hearing, to a little girl of nine years' 'old, who happened to be standing idle.-What the lady meant to imply was, that any thing was better than doing nothing. In Italy there is. a proverb; that idleness is the parent of every vice ; since vice procurei us !a momentary pleasure, this proverb is adapted rather to induce than to deter. -In England, the case is altered, and idleness might be called the parent of every raisery.—Obserratiuns of an Italiwi Exile.
