SCHIPTURE ILLUSTRATION'S.—No. 190. JOHN IY. 6.—"Now Jacob's weil was there." "At about one third of an liotir from Xaplosa, (the jrticient Sychar) we came to Jacob's Well; famous not oniv upon account of its author, but much more for that memorable conference which our biessed Ssiviotir here had with the woman of Samaria." If it should be questioned whether this be the very well or no, seeing that it stands rather remofe from Sychar, for women to come so far to draw water, it is answered, that probably the city extended farther this way in former times than it dues now as may be conjectured from some pieces of a very thick, wall, still to be seen not far from hence. Over the well there Stood formerly a large church, erected by that great and devout Patroness of tie Holy Land, the Empress Helena- But of this, the voracity of time, assisted by the hands of the Turks, has left nothing but a few foundations remaining. The well is covered at present with an old stone vaijlt, inio itikicik you are let down through a very straight hole; and tlieii, reiiiovlii, i-i broad flat stone, vou discover the mouth of the well itself. It is dll in a firtrl rock, and contains about three yards in diameter, and tlÚrtyjice ilt depth; five of which we found full of water. This confutes a story commonly told to travel- lers, who do not take the pains to examine the weli, viz. that it is dry all the year round, ex- cept on the anniversay of that day, on which our blessed Saviour sat upon it but their bubbles up with abundance of water. At this well the narrow vale of Sychem ends opening itselfinto a wide field, which is probably part of that parcel of ground" given by Jacob to his son Joseph: John iv. 5. It is watered with a fresit stream rising between it and Sychem which n)akes it so exceeding verdant and fruitful, that it may well be looked upon as a standing token of the tender affection of that good Patriarch to the best of ons.

Similar quotations might be given, at much greater length than would be convenient, but the above are quite sufficient to prove that the Nonconformists, and their successors, the acknowledged chiefs of dissenting divinity, held opinion" totally at vari- ance with the Church-destroying Dissenters of the present day. To these we may add, the recorded opinion of David Neale, not the least in talent and learning among the Nonconformists, when talent and learning were not rare amongst them, lu his letter to Dr. Hare, he says:- II What mischief then have Dissenting Teachers rlon, either to Church or State, Have they robbed the Church of her revenues? Dou't their hearers continue to pay their tithes, their parish duea and offerings. Nay, don't some of them continue to pay liberally to their lecturers? And have they not joined heartily with the Church against their com- mon enemies, the Roman Catholics, on proper occasions ?"-ED.

LITERARY MEN.—Poverty is the badge of all our tribe, and its reproach. There is, for instance, a well-known taunt against a humble class of men, who live by their pens, which girding not at the quality of their work, but at the rate of its remune- ration, twits them as penny-a-liners! Can the world be aware of the rangp of the shaft? What, pray, was glorious John Milton, upon whom rested an after-glow of the holy inspiration of the sacred writers, like the twilight bequeathed by a midsummer sun ? Why he was, as you may reckon any time in his divine Paradise Lost, uot even a ha'penny-a- liner! We have no proof that Spakespeare, the high p/iest of humanity, was even a larthiug-a-liner, and we know that Homer not only sold his lines -1 gratis for nothing," but gave credit to all eternity If I wrong the world I beg pardon—but I really believe it invented the phrase of the republic of letters, to insinuate that taking the whole lot of authors together they have not got a sovereign amongst them.-Hood.

STATISTICS OF CHIME. THE CONVICT GllEENACRE. The following notice affords a remarkable illus- tration of circumstances often noticed in the statis- tics of crime,—namely, that the most horrihle otrences are frequently prompted by preceding examples dwelling on the mind till a species of moiio- mauia ensues; and, in other cases, that instances of extraordinary guilt seem to be fearfully copied by the inhnnutn perpetrators of similar atrocities. At the late trial of the above criminal at the O'd Bailey, ihe cuinsei fn- the prosecution made an allusion to the ca,e of G,iidelle, %,Iio was executed the 4th of April, 1701, at the end of Pautou Street, in the Hay ma; ket, for the murder of Mrs Killg, at whnse house he lodged, in Leicester Fields; dlld, from the similarity of the circumstances, as "ell as line of' defence set up by Greenacre, one ™ight almost he led to suppose that the latter was fully acquainted with Gaidflh.# ease.

Sotne colour is given to the introductory part of this story by the fact which appeared on the trial, "that the deceased, "Mrs King, made a point that her picture should be very handsome; and teazed Gaidelle so much about it, as to induce him, in spleen, to give her features a very different and un favourable character, and that she shewed her reo sentment by much satirical and provoking language. The in aid-servant having been sent out for somr snuff, no person was in the house but Gaidelle and Mrs King, who, it appears, on his eutcring the room, renewed her insults, and'struck him on the bre.iit this produced the fata) event that followed."

RORY O'MORK. Rory has been desired by his mother to brillg a present tor the Priest from Dublin. He relates to a traveller his adventures and quarrel in a shop, about a pair of top boots, his first intention. "The next best thing he could think of f.)r his reverence was a stich-sedng one, with a head, in the hand of a stranger, which "gev him such an iiigaut look." He finds a shop; but the sticks are all too light, and ihe narrative thus proceeds But why did you require such a heavy stick for the pi-ies, ?"

"A very natural thing to think of in a shower of rain," said the traveller. No 't wasn't the rain made me think of it-I think it Nvis God put a gridiron in my heart, seeiu,, that it was a present for the priest I intended and when 1 thought of it, it came into my head, afther, lhat it would be a fine thing to sit on, for to keep one out of the rain, that was ruinatin' iny cordlieroys Oil the top o' the coach so I kept my eye out as we dhrove along up the sthreet, and sure enough what should I see at a shop halt way down the town but a gridiron hanging up at the door! and so I weut back to get it."

All the Ministers were absent, but the opposition benches were occupied, several Peers being in attendance. The Duke of Cumberland was present to-day, for the first time since the session opened. The Manchester and Sheffield Railroad Bill was read a third time and passed. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented, from the Standing Orders Committee, a report of certain Railroad Bills, in which the standing orders had been complied with. The Lancaster and Preston Junction Railway Bill was read a second time. Lord Deutnan now took his seat on the woolsack. CHUKCII RATES. Petitions against the abolitioll uf Church Rates were presented by the Bishop of Hereford, from Whitchurch and five other parishes wfthin his diocese; by Lord Rolle, from parishes in Devonshire; by the Duke of Wellington, from several parishes in Hamp- shire; by Earl Amherst, from Sevenoaks by the Earl of Hardwicke, from Llv and two other parishes in Cambridgeshire by Lord Sondes, from a paiish in Huntingdonshire; and by Lord itedesdale, front several parishes in Norfolk. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE presented a Petition in favour of abolition, Ironi the parish of All Saints, Derby. The Eirl of BURLINGTON presented similar Petitions from the paiish of St M ichacl and another parish, also in the borough of Derby. SMALL DEBTS (SCOTLAND) BILL. The Earl of ROSEBERY said, perceiving the Noble Marquis ill his place who had taken charge of a Bill, the second reading of which he was about to move, he (the Earl of llosebeiy) begged to ask whether he would consent to its postponement, even if it were for a single (i,iy only ? He made the request on behalf of om" Noble Lords who took an interest in the subject to which the Bill had reference, but wh,) could not attend to-day. The Marquis of BUTE said, that on Thursday last he give notice of, alld fixed the second reading of the Bill for to-day, and when the House was about to adjourn on Tuesday last he mentioned to the Noble Earl who now moved the adjournment that the Bill in question stood for second reading oil the orders Understanding also from the Noble and Learned Lord then on the woolsack, that no objection would be taken to the second readiug, which was intended to be read pro forma, only, he persevered in the intention. He had stated that it was to be read pro forma, and the reason was this, that since the Bill had been laid on the table he had received from Scotland several communications upon the subject, and he intended to propose some amendments iu coin mil tee. He t hen proposed to hae the Bill printed as amended, and it might afterwards be taken into cunsid.-ration by their Lordships. If, however, alter what he had slated, any objection was ottered, he would not press the second reading; still he trusted it would he thought that his explanation was satis- factory The Eirl of ROSEBERY begged to press his objection to the second reading now, not on his own aceount, but on that of his Noble Friends who were absent; understanding also, as he certainly did, atid as the newspaper which he saw had staled the tact, that the It ;use would sit for judical business only to-day. Lord BROUGHAM said, for his own part, such being his own understanding, he had not even read the Bil;, and he really should expect, betore a measure of th t consequence was passed, to hear some state- ment of its provisions. He thought it could not be intended to have such a measure as that taken pre) forma on its second reading, pro forma in committee, and that the discussion should be deferred until the third reading of the Bill. The Marquis of BUTE never intended to ask their Lordships to give their assent to the Bil., without first being made acquainted with its provisions. Lord BROUGHAM said he never meant to insinuate such a thing. The Noble and Learned Lord had said he took it for granted that the judges in Scollarid were aware of the provisions. The Marquis of BUTE (across the table) said a few words in reply; and he moved to discharge the order for the second reading—fixing Tuesday next instead. Order discharged accordingly, and Tuesday named in lieu. sPAIN. Lord ALVANLEY gavc notice that to-morrow he should move for a copy of tIle dispatches transmitted from ihe Foreigu-ottice to Lord John llay, relative to the employment of the British marines at SI.Sebas- tian. .#' HOUSE OF COMMONS—THURSDAY. The House did not sit this day. ## HOUSE OF LORDS-FRIDA Y. The Royal assent was given by commission to the Mutiny and Marine Mutiny, the Mint, the Vagrant's the Licensed Victuallers, and many otlict- Bills. Several railway andother Bills were brought up. Many Petitions were presented for and against Church Rates, and the Oxlord and Great Western Junction Railway 15ill was, after some objections, read a second time. A FFAI RS OF SPATX. Lord ALVANLEY moved for a copy of Lord John Hay's despatch on the affair at Hernani. He had no wish to exaggerate the defeat of our unfor- tunate countrymen, or to detract from their charac- ter for valour; his«ensure fell on the policy which exposed them to deteat and disgrace. He had al ways objected to file treaty, not because its objects-the establishment of a Constitutional Government and securing the throne to Isabella IL was blameable-but because it was not calculated to secure that object. In like manner, the sending out of an auxiliary Legion had advanced the inte- rests of Don Carlos, had unnecessarily removed six uiitiistries at Madrid, and that which now governed was raised to power by the inroad of military ruffians into tiie palace; besides, the nor- thern powers were waiting to see Portugal and Spain settle their quarrels, but when England interfered, and a treaty was framed avowedly hostile to those powers, they we,e forced in self- defence to interfere also. ) he Noble Lord gave a sketch of the affairs of Bilboa and Hernani, and asked if such an event as the latter had occurred to a general holding his Majesty's commission, whether he would not have been called on to prove before a court martial that he had taken every pre- caution to prevent the disgraceful and disastrous defeat he had sustained. Lord MELBOURNE slid if the policy of govern- ment in Spain were detrimental and disgraceful to the country, Noble Lords opposite ttere participes criminis for they had never till it was too late objected to or opposed that course. It was not his fault that Spain, had often changed her government. Their policy was founded on a desire to preserve the peace of Europe. (Hear, from the Duke of Wel- lington). He understood the Noble Duke to mean that that policy would rather endanger peace. That was a question between them. The objects of the Government was to secure the peace of Europe, to put an end to civil war, and secure the throne of the Queen, it was strange to hear Noble Lords opposite defend the cause of a Pretender against a legitimate Sovereign. (Hear). With regard to military interference, nothing had been or could be done in the dark, and if Parliament refused to sanction the measure, it would of course be abandoned. As to the word "mercenaries," the Noble Lord had himself commanded men who had no tie in the couatry but their pay—all soldiers were mercenaries. The question was, will you still permit the marines and artillery of his (Majes- ty to remain in co-operation with the army of Spain ? "My Lords, I answer most distinct y that I will. I will take on myself that responsibility, but not the responsibility of withdrawing aid from the Queen in a moment of defeat and disaster." (Cheers.) He had confident hopes of ultimate success. He would not cnpy the oreeping policy of those who lowered anddisgraced the influence of their country. He saw nothing in the state ot affairs at home or abroad, to compel one set of men to retire from oflice, or to prevent another set ohnen from taking ollice, if they thought it advisable in other respects to do so. (Loud and lo !g continued cheering.) ■The Duke of WELLINGTON said he had fre- quently objected to the policy pursued in Spain by the Noble Viscount, and he bar only refused to bring the question formally belore the House because he saw constitutional objections to making that House the arbiter in such a case between a minister and the country. (Hear.) A Noble friend of his (Londonderry) not now present, had often drawn attention to the subject. The quadruple ti-eitly (lid not refer to Europe; it respected only Spain and Portugal; we were bound to aid our old ally, but not to interfere in a q,ia-rel between two princes of the House of Braganzs, or of Bourbon. The additional articles differed essentially from the original treaty. In 1834, he lth Duke of Wel- lington) was called on to carry ou: that treaty, but he did not feel it necessary to construe its tenor, or as affecting other powers than Spain, or as re- quiring his interference by arms in that country. (Cheers.) Let the Noble Lord produce his (the Duke of Wellington's) dispatch to our ambassador in Spain, (Loud cries of 'Hear, licar-l) He re- I monstrated against the Queen of Spain's blockaed of her own coasts as untenable, and it was abandoned. (Hear. hear.) The British hips interfered no further than in removing troops. Now, he called on the Noble Lord to say whether he, when in oflice, had not carried that treaty strictly and honourably into execution ? The naval foree could not acT, for the Queen's enemy had not a cock-boat at sea nor a village on the coast in his possession. He (the Duke) had interfered to ion. I humanize the War and to prevent execution in cold blood, and he succeeded. Neither the military nor financial aflairs of Spain, nor our peace nor the peace of Europe, had been at all improved by the Noble Lord s interference, or by his deviation from the example of the former government. There was a party in England who were unhappily involved in the finances of Spain; it was their inlerest to see red coats in that country. A body of 10,000 Englishmen landed in Spain and marched up to Hernani, over the very ground from which they had just retired. Up to their appearance the Elliot convention had been observed. Since that period the war had been one of ei-tielty and after the expenditure of blood and treasure, the affairs of the Queen were in a worse condition now than they were two years ago. He repeated his conviction that the military affairs of her Majesty were in a worse condition now than they were when the British troops weie sent to her assistance. (Loud cries of ''Hear, hear.") The operations had not been conducted tor iri'itgiry purposes, the English aid had not increased for military purposes,but every movement was made in a financial crisis, and for thejsake of its effect on the Stock Exchange. (Hear, hear.) The relief of St.Sebastian was operated by the sixty-eight pounders of Lord J. Hay, and that day-the monstrous affair of the 6th of May-as it was called all over Europe, had only the effect of removing the blockade from one point to another. From the filh of May, 183d, he detied the Noble Lord to point out a single advantage that he had gained. (Hear) St. Sebastian was a fortified town of the second order in Europe; its communications with the sea were not to be prevented; it needed no garrison, and the Carlist blockade had no worse effect than preventing ladies and gentlemen from taking an evening walk. (Hear.) There cou'd be no vo operation between Gen. Kvans and the Spanish chiefs, and the co-operation between him and the English fleet was for stock jobbing purposes. He strongly blairted the conduct of government in siiti*eriiig the ships, while apparently neutral, to take part in the battle, and he warned tho Noh'e Lord, on his experience as a soldier, not to suffer the marines to co-operate with Spanish force* at a distance from the sea. (Hear, hear.) The honour of England was wrapt up in those 400 or 500 marines. The corps of General Evans was not, he must say, in such a state o! discipline as to war- rant the co-operation of his Majesty's forces. If the -Noble Viscount hoped to see Spain pay for her own pacification, he must take the expenses of her government into his own hands, and administer her finances himself. He did not greatly approve of discussions of this description, but he would beg the Noble Viscount opposite to turn his mind to the state of affairs, and to endeavour to regain that position in which we were placed before the ordet- in eniiiicil was issued. (Cheers.) Lord HOLLAND dwelt at great length, and in all eloquent manner, on the precedents for military intervention, and in justification of the treaty of the quadruple alliance and the policy of govern- ment. His Lordship was so seriously indisposed, as to be compelled to pause for some time in his speech The Earl of ABERDEEN would not touch on the question of right in the succession to the throne of Spain. But while the treaty said naval assistance, and while the complement of marines was about filty to the squadron sent out, he would call it a fraud on the people of England to have raised that number lo four hundred. (Cries of "Hear, hear.") We had invited France to an occupation of a port of Spain—(hear)—and we must recollect that if such a step were taken there would he no hope of internal peace during the minority of the Queen If it were necessary to contend against powers with which we were in close alliance, let it not be done by dastardly and secret means. These powers looked with contempt on the English force now employed; but increase it or send regular troops, or invite France to "traiisliiiiitatioil," and their views would change. The war as conducted in Spain was against him who rnaketh war." Lord MIN fa said the artillery and marines were commanded by Lord John Hay, and in no wise under the authority of any Spanish general. He denied that our ships in the Bilboa river had ever assumed neutrality. They were at war; they fortified the convent and manned the batteries from our ships, and as to the number of marines it was proportioned to the number of ships under Lord J. Hay and to the nature of the service. Lord MELBOURNE said there had been no interference with the government of Spain. The marines were safe in the hands of Lord J. Hay, and the national honour was committed to that gallant oiiicer. He begged to ask if the Noble Duke meant to imply that his Majesty's government trafficked on the Stoek Exchange. The Duke of WELLINGTON had no idea- of imputing any such motive to the Noble Lord or his colleagues. The motion was agreed to. "## HOUSE OF COMMONS—FRIDAY. The Scarborough Harbour Bill was thrown out by 90 votes lo 8G :'majority, 4 The Trinity, North Leith, Harbour Bill >vas read a third time and passed. PRIVILEGE. Lord J. RUSSELL, in reference to Mr D. W. Harvey's avowal respecting the True. Sun, and the evidence before the Poor Law Committee, said that as the Hon. Member appeared anxious to bring the wltolestibjet" t before the House, lit- (Lord J. Russell) would frame the resolution in the widest base, and to the following effect. With these observations, he beg-ged to move the following resolution That according to the undoubted privileges of this House, and for the d;ie protection of the public interests, the evidence taken by any Select Com- mittee of this House, and documents presented to such Committee, and which have not been reported to this House, ought not to be published by any Member of such Committee, or any other person." 1 his resolution was necessary, as it was the un- doubted privilege of the House to prevent such publications; for if they were allowed, it could hardly be expected that such men as the Duke of Wellington and Mr Rothschild would say all they might before a Committee. (Hear, heat, hear.) Mr D. W. HARVEY said, if such were the un- doubted privilege of the House, what was the use of this resolution? If the law was violated, there was a penalty, and he was ready to bear it. The suppression of evidence could not be at the same time the privilege of the House and for the advan- tage of the public. If the Committee were a secret one, the arguments of the Noble Lord would apply; but the f.ict was, the interests of the poor were con- cerned in the Committee, and therefore it was to be close. He regretted (o find a liberal Govetnment act thus. No proof whatever had been given that the publication was in any way injurious or detri- mental to any body. (Hear ) He contended that the evidence should be published at a cheap rate, and disseminated generally. He concluded by moving —" That the Select Committee appointed to enquire into the administration of relief to the poor, under the orders and regulations of the Commissioners appointed under the provisions of the Poor Law Amendment Act, be instructed to report the evidence taken before them from day to day to the House." Mr Wakly seconded, and Mr O'Brien supported the resolution, and Mr O'Connell the amendment. Sir J. GRAHAM, who said that truth was better than courtesy, disapproved of the course taken by the Hon. Member for Southwark, and would vote for the resolution of the Noble Lord, Mr HUME was accustomed to look upon the privileges of that House as being framed for a wise and salutary purpose, and for the publie benefit. It was not so with the sessional orders, respecting the publication of their proceedings; but-if ever there should be an exemption as to the general rule respecting the publication of evidence, it should be in tjiis (!itse. Mr WYNV said the House could not do other- wise than affirm their undoubted privileges, by adopting the motion of the Noble Lord; but he saw no objection to the resolution of the Honourable Member, if put forth substantively. Mr WARBURTON agreed with the last speaker. Mr WAKLEYsaid it had been justly observed that there might be cases in which the publication of proceedings before a Committee was desiraole. It appeai-ed to him that if ever there was a case in which a deviation from the practice of the House was admissible, it was that now in question. Whose interests were attacked in this Committee? Whose interests had to bedeiended 1 In both cases those of (he poor, the needy and the helpless. (Hear, hear.) And what would the poor say to the concealment of the evidence Mr T. Duncombe moved, and Mr Roebuck se conded, the adjournment of the debate for six months. The SPEAKER, on the appeal of Lord J. Russell, decided that the evidence before a Select Committee ollght not to be printed except for the exclusive use of the Members. The House divided on the motion for adjournment which was lost by 131 to 88 majority, 43. Mr Harvey's motion was then with- 1 drawn until Monday, and Lord J. Russell's molÎIJn was agreed to without a division. CANADA. Mr LEADER, on the motion for proceeding with the Canada resolutions, said that he and his friends, though generally supporting ministers, opposed the-e reito!uti(?lls; and he would move as an amendment that they be postponed till that day six. mouths. Mr HUME seconded the amendment. Sir G. GREY said that government had carefully' considered its responsibility in -submitting these renolutions, and would not recede. Mr O'Connell and Mr Wason supported, and Mr M. Stewart opposed the amendment of Mr Leader. Mr ROEBUCK said the resolutions might pass, the people be excited, and the salaries of govern- ment officers be pai 1 for a year, but at the end of that year the question would he where it was now. If coercion were necessnrv the resolution* did not go far enough, for they did not coerce but insult. At the siglit of these resolutions the Canadians would declare war. The Noble Lord was advised by the Right Hon. Baronet (Sir It. Peel), as to Canada would he take his advice as to Ireland ? Sir R. PEEL still thought the p'an suggested by the Hon. Member for the government of Canada was absurd. He was too irritable for a constitution maker. Mr GROTE won'd vote for the-amendment. The House then divided for the resolution, 182 against it, 29—majority 153. On the 6th resolution, Mr ROEBUCK moved an amendment to the effect that an enquiry should take placu into the Canadian Land Company. L »rd Stantey and Sir G.Grey opposed the amend- ment. Mr ROBINSON defended the Canadian Land Company, and Mr Leader, Mr Robinson, Mr Hume, Mr Ward, and Mr Grote, supported the amendment, which was negatived on a division by HHi lu6; majority 160. The House adjourned. (For continuation of Parliament see second p(tge.)

She killed more foxes in one year, than all the confederate hunts do in ten rowed stoutly, and was queen of the lake; fiddled excellently, and knew all our old music: did not neg-Iect the me- chanic arts, for she was a very good joiner and notwithstanding she was seventy years of age, was the best wrestler in the country, and few young men dared to tiy a fall with her.

MI CIUM M or Ttiti WATCH.—At the Roval IlistittiLioii, oil Friday, Mr ])("It lectured on the c'on- siruction of clocks and chronometers. It was shown tbat the balance spring of glass was better than these of steel, palladium, or gold. The following remarks were worth not ice N watch consists of 992 pieces, and forty-three trades are employed in their construction; the chaill, whoile length is H inches, has 165 links, of three plates and two pius, iu all 826 pieces, and passes through fifteen hands, men, women, and children, of three trades, before it is complete: allowing, then, fi-ve hands in each trade, 215 persons find employment in making a watch. This extensive and numerous individu ility will apply, more or less, to every manufactured ar- tic!e ill every day use; hut no branch of manufac- tures will afford such an illustration of the value of labour. The iron ot which the balance spring is formed is valued at something les 1 hall a farthing; this produces an ounce of steel, woiih 4jd which is drawn into 2,250 yards of spring wire, and rf: presents in the market 131..1- but till another process of hardening this originally fat thing's wor'h of iron renders it workable in'o 7,650 balance springs, which will realize, at the common price of 2". 6d. each, 9.!G/, ;}, the effect of labour alone. THE CAT, A PROOI- THAT THE WILDEST ANIMALS ARE TAMEABLE-—The common cat is the most do- mestic of all animals, yet the cat is a tiger in miniature, and all i's natural qualities of form an,) temper seem intended for savage life alone. The claws by which it could climb trees of whatever height, the extraordinary balance of limb, by which, from almost all heights, it comes on its feet to ihe ground; the eye made for nigllt hunting; ihe singular elasticity of frame by which it can wind it's way t hrough brambles, ruin*, und t he iu tricacies of the for- est; the slyness, suspicion, and distrustfulness of its temper, are as ooviotisly fitied tor savage life. Yet, by the forcc of habit, all those provisions and qua- lities-are nearly thrown out of use; and the little tiger, a remarkably fierce animal too in its wild state, is metamorphosed, into the sleet, petted, purring sleeper by the fireside, submitting to be pulled about by the rough play of children, and the very passion of hopeless bachelors, and single ladie.. of a more than certain age. How long would the Ermine, wild as it may be, refuse domestication? The whole race of the forest animals, excepting those few which live on flesh, and are too powerful to be trusted with impunity, are evidently intended to be allies of man,-The world we live ill.-B. ac;h wood.
