DEATH OF SIR WILLIAM FOLLETT.—This bright lu. minary of the English bar expired on Saturday afternoon, at a quarter past three, after a long and painful illness. In the morning he was delirious, and so continued till his last moments. At his decease there were in the room Lady Follett, his three brothers, Dr. Bright, Mrs. Bright (Sir W. Follett's sister), the members of Mr. Pennel's family, and Mr. Williams (deceased's servant), but he was totally unconscious of their presence. We regret to state that Lady Follett, owing, no doubt, to the great anxiety and trouble she has undergone, is far from being con- valescent. Her ladyship, with her deceased husband, received the sacrament on Tuesday, from the hands of the Dean of Westminster. The Observer of Sunday gives the following brief memoir of Sir William Follett:—Sir William Follett has died in what may be styled the prime of life, at least as far as his professional pursuits were concerned. He was boru at Toveham, near Exeter (Devonshire), about the year 1798. and was the son of Benjamin Follett, Esq., who, we believe, was an eminent merchant in that city. He had three other bro- thers and one sister (the lady of Dr. Bright). One of the latter-mentioned gentlemen is a Chancery barrister, another a taxing officer in Chancery, and the third is a timber-merchant, and resides in Exeter. Sir William married, in 1830, the daughter of Sir Harding Gifford (deceased), formerly chief justice of Ceylon, and that lady now survives him, together with six children, two of whom are daughters; the youngest is but 13 months old. In early life he chose the bar as his profession as a politician he first appeared in 1833, when he stood as a candidate for the city of Exeter, but was left in a minority on the poll. In 1835, he was successful, and was at the head of the list. At the last general election he was again returned, the poll at the close being,-Follett (Conservative) 1,302; Divett (Liberal) 1,192; Lord Lovaine (Conservative) 1,119.-ln April, 1844, on his appointment to the office of Attorney-General, rendered vacant by the promotion of Sir Frederick Pollock (now chief baron), there was of course, a new election, and at the close the poll stood:—Sir W. Follett, 1,293; Major-General Briggs, 529. The representation is now once more vacant. In November, 1834, Sir William was first appointed Solicitor-General, and so he remained until April, 1835, when Sir Robert Peel resigned office. He was re-appointed on the return of the Conservatives to power in 1841, and was presented to the office of Attorney-General in April, 1844. To the lucrative and distinguished post Sir Frederick Thesiger will, as a matter of course, succeed. FASHIONS FOR JULY.—(From the London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of Fadioll.)-There is not much change in the make of dresses; the most general observa- tion is, that the corsages are mostly high, and the revers generally .open to show the guimpe or habit-shirt, which is richly embroidered. Preparations for the country have commenced, for which various styles of redingotes have appeared, and robes Amazones, that is, the skirt and body separate with jacket; some of coutil, are with full backs, though the front is tight, ornamented with buttons Mar- quises. Peignoirs, are trimmed with bouillons of the same material, or plisses of riband; some with flounce open in front. Flounces are also worn en-echelon, in tiers of five from the ceinture to the hem of the skirt, for barege, this style answers very well. White, pink, and blue are the favourite colours this season. Dresses of these colours are sometimes worn with mantelets of the same, trimmed with pink ruches, or frills festonnes. All light and transparent materials are now in demand, bareges, grena- dines, cotpali, papyrus, batistes, mousselines de soi, &c., with tarlatanes, gauzes, crapes, and dresses of these textures have usually two flounces. Caps continue to be worn small and placed backward on the head one of clear tulle was lined with sarsnet riband, and formed a pretty contrast to the clear tulle, it was rather short at the ears. Very elegant capotes are made of pearl gray, white or pale pink crape, with wreaths of Bengal roses, touffes of marabouts or long frises feathers twisting and lying on the front. Pamela shape is admired, and bonnets composed of biais of crape, from the palest to the deepest tints, are pretty. Bonnets A, la glaneuse are of open straw, round in-front, the crown very low, and brides placed outside and two roses just above them. Double shawls of black lace and black lace mantelets are always in high favour, as well as scarfs. A new mantelet, termed visites, is a mixture of the scarf and mantelet, of white organdy, lined with pink, the long ends rounded, and the pelerine very full, the whole trimmed with fringed pink riband three rows on the pelerine; others are trimmed with lace, or embroidered with trimmings fe*tonn £ s.

There is pictorial power in the following sketch of the com- bat of the bird and the snake, from the chapter on the Passions of Animah, in the" Sote Book of a Naturalist" :Htack and defence call forth perhaps some of the most beautiful combinations of effect and passion which can be conceived- as. for instance, in the secretary-bird and the snake. In in instant. the former circumvents its intended prey its escape is hopeless it instinctively feels itself in the presence of it; deadly enemy, and for tbe preservation of life prepares itself for the fearful encounter. Half erected, with glpaminj eve and its body coiled or straightened to meet the exigency of the moment, it faces its ever active foe; it writhes and sweeps the ground with the convulsive movements of its tail; and, like the skilful fencer, acts on the defensive till the opening for the fatal lunge presents itself. But the wary bird allows no such advantage for. dropping its wins shield-like before it, it repels every attack by prostrating the serpent by the powerful 1--1 action of its pinion and, leaping rapidly behind it, secures the victory and its prey by a well-directed blow on the skull. This is a beautiful picture: the issue of life is in the struggle of which Nature is the prompter, and in which the energies and passions of both creatuies are worked up to their highest pitch. Dreaded by every other living creature, the snake here encounters its mortal enemy, ordained by the hand of Provi- dence to keep its race within due limits." POOR IRISH: HELP YOURSELVES.—Mr. O'Comeii tells Ministers, that nothing can be done for Ireland while the peasantry remain in their present state of destitution. All measures he declares nugatory that do not go to remove tfji3 source of all other evils. From the Report of the Poor-law Commissioners, he stows that in Itfl4 ihe destitute poor in Ireland exceeded two millions and from the lleport of I.ord Devon's Commission, that in 1845 there are four millions a:nl a half. You are talking here of the mighty boon of educa- tion, while the people are starving. Feed them before educate them." But how are they to be fed ? Must a monger subscription or loan be raised in England and sent to Ireland to provide rations for the starving peasantry? An I if even abat would suffice for the current year, would it for the next, or the ten years after? The extreme poverty of Ireland is no the consequence of bad legislation alone: it cannot be iinmt diately or radically cured by any legislation. Statutes to ref- late the relation of landlord and tenant may remove obstacles from the way of Irish enterprise but the Irish peasant 111,11- self will need to put his shoulders to the wheel. The patient must in part at least minister to himself. The Irish peasant is willing to work, but he seems unable to make estimates anJ regulate his toil beforehand so as to produce results. He can only do the work that is set for him he overworks himself, and loses time while nature is recruiting itself. It is \vi>h him all hand and no head work. There are many steady, industrious, Irish workers in the factories of Scotland .j,«t we can remember only one instance in which an 1 rishman bad raised himself to an overseer's post. Some years ago, a bene- volent gentleman on the West coast of Ireland procured nets ■nd a boat, employed some of the neighbouring peasantry in fishing, and when be thought them sufficiently adroit, olfered them boats and nets to set up on their own account. The offer was declined, unless his Honour" would pay them wages. The men seemed incapable of being their own masters and turning a small capital to account. This character may have been impressed on the Irish peasant by external inila- cocMf In the rural districts of Ireland there can searedv !>o said to be any middle class there are only a few landlords amid hordes of labourers. This is a vestige of the lavs directed against the acquisition of property by Papis's. uenerations of poverty may have benumbed the spirit of invention and enterprise. Or it may be a matter of race. Something of the same kind is observable in the kindred- Highlands of the West of Scotland. While the Frith of Ford, is perseveringly fished by the industrious and skilful descen- dants of the Wanes, the Frith of Clyde, equally if not nnr re rich in fish, is almost entirely neglected. Various attempt* that have been made to establish fisheries there, as on the East coast, have failed, because the natives would fish themselves nor allow fishermen brought from the Forth to do it. The listlessness which leads men to sutler the ex-, treme of destitution, rather than adventure on nev. ments and a new course of life, may be a fcat u.ej)'/V Co',ti- character. But, whether natural or 8up$rtftittMTi by circum- stances, until it be overcome, leg is'*c'on can dp Utile t ¡ remove destitution.—Sprctntor
