"And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck and kissed him, "Sorrowing most of all for the words which he pp.tke, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship. They accompanied him to the ship; it must be the last interview, they will see the last of him. It was a comfort to all, that the presence of Christ both went with him, and stayed with them. They parted with prayer. Thus Paul has taught us by his example, as well as rule, to pray always, to pray without ceasing. They kneeled down, and prayed upon the shore, that their last farewell might be sanctified and sweet- ened with prayer. Those who are going to sea shonld, when they quit the shore, commit them- selves to God by prayer, and put themselves under his protection, believing to find firm foot- ing for their faith in the providence and promise of God. They parted at last. Paul left his blessing behind him with those that returned home, and those who staid sent their prayers after those who went to sea. There is a point at which our dearest bonds must be broken, our closest relationships dissolved. We may travel together long, profitably, and peacefully; but it cannot be for ever. Both may go the water's edge together; but each must enter it singly and alone. Would you so part that you may be reunited, that when the flood of death is crossed, you may meet again in the celestial city ? It is now within your power,:—the offer, the hope, the certainty, are all within your reach, if you are indeed tlie children of the same Saviour, the possessors of the same hope, your feeling may rightly be, Blessed be God, we shall see their face again. The Lord himself, when all other friends must leave you at the brink, will descend with you into the troubled wave will stil) them with his voice, bear you 11 p in his arms.nmidst all the swellings of Jordan, and never leave you nor forsake you, but carry you once again into the company of those you loved on earth, and from whom you shall not be separated throughout all eternity. When our friends are separated from us by death, this con- sideration raises up our mourning, that we shall see their faces no more; but we complain not of this as those that have no hope for if ourfriends died in Christ, and we live to him,they are gone to see God's face, to behold his glory, with the re- flection of which their faces shine, and we hope to be with them shortly. Though we shall see their faces no more in this world, we hope to see them aain in a better world, and to be there together for ever with the Lord. Those who exhort and pray for one another, may have many weeping seasons and painful separations, but they will meet before the throne of God to part TO more.—Henry.

SHORT W orK.—The first marriage under the new Registralion Act having taken place yesterday morning at the registrar's office, our readers may perhaps wish to know the natnre of the ceremony, which was as follows :—The bride said, I call upon these persons here present to witness that I do take thee to be my wedded husband the bridegroom repeating the same words, but ahering the last into wife. The registrar then said, "I declare these people legally married." The parties signed the register, and all was finished in less than three minuies.—Taunton Gazette. A TRIFLING MISTAKE.—.On Wednesday morn- ing, a lady and gentleman who had booked their places at the Gloucester Coffee-house, Ox ford Street, for the little town of Lymington, in Hampshire, found themselves, after a beautiful ride, at the fashion- able town of Leamington, in Warwickshire, and had, greatly to their annoyance, to retrace their jouruey by the mail oftbe same evening.—Leaming- ton Chronicle. LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.— The average number of workmen employed on the lir.e during the early part of the present summer was about 12,000, and the weekly expenditure of the company about The quantity of earth excavated will be about 16,000,000 of cubic yards. The weight of iron in the rails and chains forming the line of way will be 38,000 tons. There will be 290,000 stone blocks of four cubic feet each, and 75,000 of five cubic feet each, being together 1,535,000 cubic feet, or 105,000 tons of stone under the cast-iron chains or pedestals which support the rails, and exclusively of ANY used in the bridges, tunnels, &c. Stone, however, is used only in the excavations. SAM SLICK'S OPINION OF THE ENGLISH.—The English are the boys for trading with they shell out their cash like a sheaf of wheat in frosty weathur, it flies all over the thrashin'floor; but then they are a cross-grained, ungainly, kickin breed of cattle as I e'en a most ever seed. Whoever gave 'em the name of John Bull, knew what he was about I tell you for they are a bull-headed, bull-necked folks, I vow sulky, ugly tempered, vicious critturs, a pawin' and a roarin' the whole time, and plaguy on- safe unless well watched. They are as headstrong as mules, and conceited as peacocks. JOHS BULL IN AMERICA.—There's no richer sight that I know of than Ito see one on 'em when he first lands in one of our great cities. He swells out as big as a balloon, his skin is ready to burst with wind-a regular walking bag of gas; and he prances over the pavement like a bear over hot iron, u g"eat awkward hulk of- a feller, (for they ain't to be compared with the French in manners) a smirkin' at you as much as to say took here Jonathan, heres an Englishman, here's a boy. that's got blood as pure as a Norman pirate, and lots of the blunt of both kinds, a pocket full 0' one and a mouth full o' tother; beant he lovely 1" and then he looks as fierce as a tiger, as much as to say, Say boo to a goose if you dare." No, I believe, we NILY stump the universe; we improve on every thin?, and we have improved on our own species, search one while I fell you, afore you'll find a man that, take him by and large, is equal to one of our free and enlightened citizens. He's the chap that has both speed, wind, and bottom; he's clear grit-ginger to the backbone you may depend. It's generally allowed there ain't the beat on 'em to be found anywhere. Spry as a fox-supple as an eel, cute as a weasel. Though I say it as shouldn't say it, they fairly take the shine off creation they are actilly equal to cash. On Tuesday a man named Thomas Harper, ofWelford, committed a most revolting murder on a little boy, only four years of age, at the village of Mar wood, near Barnstaple. Harper had been at work for the father of the child, when the monster deliberately toolt up a spade, and struck the child over the body and arms, cutting off one of the arms, and then literally beat its brains out with repeated blows on the skull. The villain made no attempt to escape, and WAS jnstajjtly takeu into custody,—West Briton,

SMUGGLING The expenses of the preventive service amount to upwards < £ 521,000 per annum. The Hanover Gazette oi the 21ST mentions the arrival of Mr Bryan, Sheriff of Dublin, with a congratulatory address, on the 13th instant. He was received by t lie King at a special audience, in the presence of some of the ministers.

Betting was three to one again-t him Look at the sort of persons chosen at elections where the franchise is very general, and you will find either fools who are con- tent to flatter the passions of the mob for a little transient popularity, or knaves who pander to their follies, that they may make their necks a footstool for their own proinotion.-Sir Walter Scott.- A friend lately enquired of the chambermaid at the Hen and Chickens, Birmingham, if there was much company in the House. "There are but few in carriages or on horseback," said she, but a good many pi,edestinaria'ns.-Tlie following instance of the recovery of a forgotten language, i3 recorded by Dr. Millingen. A patient in St. Thomas's Hos- pital. who had been admitted with a brain fever, on his recovery spoke an unknown language to his attendants. A Welsh milkman happened to be in the ward, and recognised his native dialect, although the patient had left Wales in early youth, had resided thirty years in England, and had for- gotten his native tongue. On Saturday after- noon an elderly lady, of the name of Guilliam, was robbed of óe45 in bank notes while in an omnibus plying between Mile End and Piccadilly. She did not discover her loss until her arrival at the house of a friend, when she found her dress cut through and her pocket-book abstracted. -Duncombe, at his club, took lup the newspaper "just to see what (YConnell was about."

ELECTION or LORD MATOR.—Alderman Cowan has been elected Lord Mayor for the year ensuing without opposition. The two names selected by the Common Hall for the decision of the Court of Aldermen were those of Alderman Cowan and Alderman Wilson. A pnblie meeting is to be held in Birmingham on Wednesday next to receive a report from a com- mittee of merchants, bankers, manufacturers, &o. respecting the (alleged) general distress, difficulty and embarassment of the commercial classes. Persons of all parties have signed the requisition to the High Bailiff to convene this meeting.-Bir. mingham paper—To A T.—A grocer wishing to be a little odd in regard to a sign, caused two letters T.

On Friday night his Excellency Gen. Count Sebastiani, the French Ambassador, arrived at Dover by the Royal George steam-vessel, from Boulogne his Excellency re- mained for the night at the Ship Hotel, and the following morning set off for London under a salute from the guns at the Heights. It has generally been the understood custom, if not the law of nations, that the person and property of Ambas- sadors are held sacred; tne Douaniers, who have pretty good nous in matters of contraband articles, fancied that his Excellency's baggage was not purely official, and on searching the two carriages of his Excellency, who is not a smuggler, nearly 1,000 pairs of kid shoes and a quantity of blond lace fell into the hands of the Pliilistint- -Kentish Gaz,rtte--oit is probable that old Francis may have some natural fears, that when horses are sent about their business, the day for cashiering asses cannot be far distant.

A MAN OF FEW WOI',Ds.-A young man some time since arrived at a certain inn, and after alight- ing from his horse, went into the traveller's room, where he walked backwards and forwards for some time, displaying the utmost self-importance. At length he rang the bell; and upon the waiter's ap- pearance, gave him an order nearly as follows. Wailei- "I The waiter replied, to Sir." "lama Inan of feu words, and don't like to be continually ringing the bell and disturbing the house; I'll thank you to pay attention to what I say." The waiter again replied, "Yes, sir." In the first place bring me a glass of braudy and water (cold) with little sugar, and also a teaspoon; wipe down this table, throw some coals on the fire, and sweep down the hearth; bring me a couple of candles, pen, ink, and paper, some wafers, a little sealing wax, and let me know what time the post goes out; tell the ostler to take care of my horse, dress him well, stop his feet, and let me know when he's ready to feed; order the chambermaid to prepare me a good bed, take care that the sheets are well aired, a clean nightcap, and a glass of water in the room send theboots with a pair of slippers that I can walk to the stable in; (ell him I must have my boots cleaned- and brought into the room to-night, and that I shall want to be called at five o'clock in the morning: ask your mistress what I can have for my supper; tell her I should like a roast duck, or something of that sort; desire your master to step in, 1 want to ask him a few questions about the drapers of this lown." The waiter answered "Yes, sir," and then went to the landlord and told him a gentleman in the par- lour wanted a great many things, and among the rest he wanted him, and that was all he could recollect. November has been usually reported the month for suicides in England. September may aspire to the "bad eminence" of that reputation in France. The mania for suicide in Paris appears, indeed, to augment as the month draws to its close, acd has infected the Halle (the Billingsgateor Paris) where not less than six women and two men last week destroyed themselves on the sentimental ground of jealousy or disappointment in love. Two deliberate suicides of more note have also OC. curred last week in France. M. Saunier Desforts a police magistrate of the Mont-Orgueii quarter of Paris, shot himself on Wednesday, at half-past seven in the evening, after settling his affairs, and making the due testementary disposal of his pro- perty with the utmost tranquility. M. Desforts was equally esteemed in private life as respected for his public ability. An inveterate and torment- ing malady, which had long baffled the skill of Drs. Magendie and Marjolin, and for the last chance of curing which he had just vainly tried the air of his native place, is assigned as the cause of this deliberate suicide. About the same period Sieur Robert, a timber merchant of Amberville, destroyed himself with equal deliberation. Leaving the balance-sheet of his debts and property on the table, and a letter for his family, in which, begging pardon for the act of despair which he meditated, he declared that, although he had assumed an air of cheerfulness in their presence, life, since the death of his wife, had become an intolerable bur- then, and that nothing in his business had prospered from that time, I L IS ,.Ê: iv V ø
';"8m.:.II._.: THE MAGAZINES…
'8m.II. THE MAGAZINES FOR OCTOBER- Blackwood has an excellent article entitled, "Ministerial Alternatives." It being thll; declared," says the writer "whit might indeed have been a pi-iori demonstrated, that Ministers are to remain in office if they can. it becomes a question what course of policy they mean to pursue. The possible resolutions which they may adopt in this respect seem to be three-told. I 1. They may do as they have done hitherto. I 2. They may become more Conservative. 1 3. They may become more Destructive. I Which of these liner, of conduct they may adopt, seems to us a matter of more curiosity than impor- 'ance. We look upon all of them without much alarm, and are convinced that they must all end in the same result, the success of the Conservative cause, and sooner or later the establishment of the Conservative party in office. But it may be worth while to follow out this spectilatioii, ind endeavour to anticipate the modus operandi by which each of these Ministerial methods of proceeding may lead to the conclusion which we anticipate, and so devoutly desire." We have only room for the second Resolution. Ie IT. Ministers may change their present policy, and become more Conservative. We hope, for their own sakes, that this resolution will be their choice. It is yet open to them, at a sacrifice, indeed, of consistency—at a sacrifice. perhaps, of such honouras they still have to boast; but not at a greater sacrifice, in these or in any other respects, than would be interred in an oppo- site course. If they will make the new reign and the new Parliament a pretence for abandoning all assaults upon the Constitution and the Church, and religiously abstain from such measures of excite- ment and agitation, as there is no reasonable hope of carrying through the legislature, we sincerely believe that they have a fair chance of remaining in power for some time longer-at least, we consider it to be their best chance of doing so. They will in this way retrieve and atone for much of the mischief they have done, and the time they have wasted. They may be assailed by their Radical allies with abikge they may be held up by them as traitors; but this is little. more than they are at present accustomed to. On the other hand, they will undoubtedly receive the conscientious and effective support of the Conservative party. Coali- tion with them, indeed, is out of the question the past conduct, the present characters of the Ministry, forbid that step. But votes, assistance in divisions against the common enemy, support of that kind they may receive, if they qualify themselves for it, unbought, unbribed, far more cheaply and honour- ably obtained, and far better worth having, than ten times the support that O'Connell can sell them. We need not offer arguments to prove that the adoption by Ministers of a policy in any degree more Conservative than at present would greatly promote the end to which we now look-the security of our institutions from destruction. Benfley"s Miscellany has a paper of broad hu- mour, by Boz, entitled the "Mudfog Association." We do not admire the spirit in which it is written, nor do we thiuk the scientific meetings, on which ridicule is attempted to be thrown, can receive any damage by such outrageous parodies of their pro. ceedings. It is, however, impossible not to laugh at burlesque like the following:- Four o'clock.—The town is filling fast; eighteen pence has been offered for a bed, and refused. Several gentlemen were under the necessity last night of sleeping in the brick-fields, and on the steps of doors, for which they were taken before the magistrates in' a body this morning, and committed to prison as vagrants for various terms. One of these persons I understand to be a highly-respecta- ble tinker, of great practical skill, who had for- warded a paper to the president of Section D. Mechanical Science, on the construction of pipkins with copper bottoms and safety-valves, of which report speaks highly. The incarceration of this gentleman is greatly to be regretted, as his absence will preclude any tiiscussion on the subject. The bills are being taken down in all directions, and lodgings are being secured on almost any terms. I have heard of fifteen shillings a week for two rooms, exclusive of coals and attendance, but I can scarcely believe it. The excitement is dreadful. I was informed this morning that the civil authorities, apprehensive of some outbreak of popular feeling, had commanded a recruiting sergeant and two corporals to be under arms; and that, with the view of not irritating the people unnecessarily by their presence, they had been requested to take up their position before daybreak in a turnpike, distant about a quarter of a mile from the town. The vigour and promptness of these measures cap not be too highly extolled. 11 Ititelligence has just been brought me, that an elderly female, in a state of inebriety, baa declared in the opeu street her intention to do' for Mr Slug. Some statistical returns compiled by that gentle- man, relative to the consumption of raw spirituous liquors in this place, are supposed to be the cause of the wretch's animosity. It is added, that this declaration was loudly cheered by a crowd of persons who had assembled on the spot; and that one man had the boldness to designate Mr Slug aloud by the opprobrious epithet of Stick-in-the-"mud It is earnestly to be hoped that now, when the moment has arrived for their interference, the magistrates will not shrink from the exercise "Of that power which is vested iu them by the constitution of our common country." SECTION C.—STATISTICS. « HAT-OO»T, ORIGINAL PIG. PREItlnENT-MR VrOOtJENscONsB. VJCS PRBSI- JDE.XTS—Ms I/KDBRAIV AND MR TIMBERED. Mr Slug stated to the section the result of some calculations he had made with great difficulty and labour, regarding the state of infant education among the middle classes of London. He found that, within a circle of three miles from the Ele- phant and Castle, the following where the names and numbers of children's books principally in circulation.— -1 Jack the Giant-killer 7,943 Ditto and the Bean-stalk 8,621 Ditto and Eleven Brothers. 2,845 Ditto and Jill 1,998 Total. 21,407 He found that the proportion of Robinson Crusoes to Philip Quarlls was as four and a half to one; and that the preponderance of Valentine and Orsons over Goody Two Shoeses was as three and an eighth of the former to half a one of the latter: a comparison of Seven Champions with Simple Simons gave the same result. The ignorance that prevailed, was lamentable. One child, on being asked whether he would rather be Saint.George of England or a respectable tallow-chandler, instantly replied, 'Taint George of Ingling.' Another, a little boy of eight years old, was found to be firmly impressed with a belief in the existence of dragons, and openly stated that it was his intention when he grew up, to rush forth sword in band for the deliverance of captive princesses, and the pro- miscuous slaughter of giants. Not one child among the number interrogated had ever h!ard of Mungo Park,-some inquiring whether he was at all connected with tbeblaolc man that swept the crossing; and others whether be was in any way related to the Regent's Park. They had not the slightest conception of the commonest principles of mathematics, and considered Sinbad the Sailor the most enterprising voyager that the world had ever produced. A Member, strongly deprecating the use of all the other books mentioned, suggested that Jack and Jill might perhaps be exempted from the general eensure, inasmuch as the hero and heroine, in very outset of the tale, were depicted as going up a hill a to fetch a pail of water, which was laborious and useful occupation,—supposing the family linen was being washed, for instance. "Mr Slug feared that the moral effect of this passage was more than counterbalanced by another in a subsequent part of the poem, in which very gross allusion was made to the mode in which the heroine was personally chastised by her mother « For laughing at Jack's disaster" besides, the whole work had this one great fault, it was not true. "The President complimented the honourable member on the excellent distinction tIe had drawn. Several other members too, dwelt upon the immense and urgent necessity of storing the minds of ehildren with nothing but facts aud figures which process the President very forcibly remarked, had made them (the section) the men they were. Mr Slug then stated some curious calculations respecting the dogs'-meat barrows of London. He found that the total number of small carts and I barrows engaged in dispensing provision to the cats and dogs of the Tnetropelis, was one thousand seven hundred and forty-three. The average num- ber of skewers dehvered daily with the provender, by each d,)gsl-neat cart or barrow was thirty-six. Now, multiplying the number of skewers so delivered, by the number of barrows, a total of sixty-two thousand seven hundred and forty-eight skewers daily would be obtained, Allowing that, of these sixty-two thousand seven hundred and FOITY.EIGHT SKEWERS) THE odd two thousand p4reo 01 oW .:¡-- H hundred and forty-eight were accidently devoured with the meat,by the mot voracious of the animals supplied, It foIlowed that sixty thousand skewers per day, or the enormous number of twenty-one millions nine hundred thousand skewers annually, were in (he kennels and dust-holes of Lon- don; which if collected and warehoused, would in ten years time afford a mass of timber more than sufiicient for the construction of a first rate vessel of war for the use of her Majesty's navy, to be called I The Royal Skewer,' aud to become under that name the terror of all the enemies of this island. "Mr X. Ledbrain read a very ingenious com- munication, from which it appeared that the total number of leg belonging to the manufacturing population of one great town in Yorkshire was, in round numbers, forty thousand, while the total number of chair and stool legs in their houses was only thirty thousand, which, upon the very fa- vourable average of three legs to a seat, yielded only ten thousand seats in all. From this calcu- lation it would appear,—not taking wooden or cork legs into the account, but allowing two legs to every person,—that ten thousand individuals (one- half of the whole population) were either destitute of any rest for ttteir legs at all, or passed the whole af their leisure time in sitting upon boxes." MR WELLER S SPECULATION ON DONKEYS AND POSTBOYS. "This is pleasant," said Bob Sawyer, turning up his coat collar, and pulling the shawl over hi* mouth to concentrate the fumes of a glass of brandy just swallowed. Wery," rejoined Sam, composedly. You don't seem to mind it, observed Bob. ,l Vy, I don't exactly sae no good my mindin' on it'ud do," Sir replied Sam. "That's an unanswerable reason, anyhow," said Bob. Yes, Sir," rejoined Mr Weller. Wotever is is right, as the young nobleman sveetly remarked ven they put him down in the pension list 'cos his mother's uncle's vife's grandfather vunce lit the kin's pipe vith a portable tinder box." "Not a bad notion that, Sam," said Mr Bob Sawyer approvingty. Just wot the young nobleman said evVy quarter day afterwards for the rest of his life," replied Mr Weller. "VYos you ever called in," enquired Sam, glancing at the driver, after a short silence, and lowering his voice to a mysterious whisper, "wos you ever called in, ven you was 'prentice to a sawbones, to wisit a post-boy ?" I don't remember that I ever was," replied Bob Sawyer. You never see a postboy in that 'ere hospital as you walked (as they says o' the ghosts,) did you ?" demanded Sam. No," replied Bob Sawyer. I don't think 1 ever did." Never know'd a churchyard vere there wos a postboy's tombstone, or see a dead postboy, did you?" enquired Sam, pursuing his catechism. No," replied Bob, "I never did." No." replied Sam, triumphantly. Nor never vill; and there's another thing that no man never see, and that's a dead donkey—no man never see a dead donkey, 'cept the in the black silk smalls as know'd the young 'ooman as kept a goat; and that was a French donkey, so wery likely he warn't vun o' the reg'lar breed." Well, what has that got to do with the post- boys?" asked Bob Sawyer. "This here," replied Sam, Vithout goin' so far as to as-sert, as some wery sensible people do, that postboys and donkeys is both immortal, wot I say is this; that veuever they feels theirseives gettin' stiff and past their work, they just rides off together, vun postboy to a pair, in the UMial way; wot becomes on cm nobody knows, but it's wery probable as they starts avay to take their pleasure in some other vorld, for there ain't a man alive as eyer see either a donkey or a postboy a takin' his pleasure in this!" — Pickwick Papersf So. 18.

CINDERELLA.—A gentleman in the last House of Commons, also returned to the present Parlia- ment, earned for himself this apellation by the necessity which seemed imposed on him of con- stantly departing at the hour prescribed for Cin- derella by her godmother in the fairy tale. We have always considered it a part of the moral of that elegant fiction to recommend early hours at public places.—Blackwood. TWICE ROBBED.—It was stated in evidence before a London magistrate, a few days ago, that it was a common practise to rob public houses of pewter pots, convert the metal into base half-crowns aud shillings, and offer them in payment for beer, and often at the houses from which the pewter had been stolen.

There are, for in- stance, some manuscripts sent 10 the office which Cadmus himself could not decypher; others which it would puzzle the most good-natured to extract sense from; some so personal, that we should be shot twice a week for inserting; and others so in. tolerably long, that no mortal limited to three-score and ten would be justified in reading them through However, as we said before, we judge mildly of the faults of our correspondents, and if they will only take the few following hints in a friendly spirit, and attend to them earnestly, our temper shall remain as unruffled as ever.—1" 'he first place, never forget to pay your postage—never assert as a truth what you have no means of verifying—prefer ulways giving facts to speculations —never be too sanguine about your communication being inserted, because you are vexed and disappointed when it does not appear, and we can't on every occasion explain the reason w hy— for mercy's sake write some kind of a hand, however illegible^—never spin out a story beyond its natural length, brevity is the soul of wit"—don't meddle with scandal—avoid the libel-!aw, and never pro- voke an extreme exercise of the law of honour, unless you are a man of high stature, weary of this world, and Min your name and address to your communica- tion in full length. To poets we would say, "Scribble on, but pay your postage;" the good pieces are sure to go into print, and the bad pieces into the Hre, aud this arrangement, we should think, harms nobody.— Prince Edward's Island Royal Gazette. LE BOUQUET DE NOCK.—About 11 or 12 years ago a ladyi accompanied by a young girl, evidently suffering from illness, was in the uaily habit of attending mass at the church ofSt. Severin, in Hooen. On leaving the church she always gave a trifle to a poor beggar who was regularly sta- tioned at the church door, and the child likewise deposited her offering in his hand, entreating the benefit of his prayers for her recovery. This con- tinued for several years, till at length one day the beggar disappeared, and no one knew what had become of him. Some days ago a wedding was eelebratedat Rouen. M. P.. a wealthy landholder, was about to receive the hand of Mdlle. Anastasie L.. all amiable and accomplished young lady, but whose family had been much reduced in conse- quence of the events of 183d. The notary was on the point of offering the pen to the bride and bridegroom preparatory to their signing the con- tract of marriage, when a stranger, of rather rustic appearance, entered the room. The stranger, without further ceremony, placed 30,000 francs in banknotes on the table, and said, addressing the notary, Write, Sir, that Aldlle. Anastasie gringo her husband a dowry of 30,000 Irancs. The beggar of St. Severin is come to return to his benefactress the money that she lent him." An explanation soon took place. With the money collected at the ehurch door the beggar had been able to purchase a piece of land, and by dint of industry and perse- verance in Lis habits of economy, he had gradually become a wealthy man. But never," he said, "did I pass a day without thinking of my benefac- tress; I knew she was not rich, 1 heard she was to be married, and I have brought her my bouquet de noce." It need scarcely be added that the grateful mendicant became an honoured guest at the ensuing wedding festivity.—Echo de Rouen. GARDENS FOR BOYS.—MR Smith's system at Southam, Warwickshire, for the tUItIOn of boys in agricu Itre. cannot be termed a school, being merely four rood. of land divided into twelve gardens, occupied bv boys from ten to sIxteen years of age, in the cultivation of garden vegetables peas, cur. rots, parsnips, cabbages, kidney-bean", elery, only one.fourth is allovve be cutttvated for potatoes. The boys pay all prze8, from sixp nce to one shilling per month, according to the size. The the 17s. is expended in a rent-dinner monthly, when the boys bring the rent, whlch •"•little tenants have hitherto done to au hour. "If I were rich enough," says Mr Smith, hi should be happier in having five hundred SUE*1 E*|AN 9 THAN as many renting two hundred acres • is a glorious sight to see all the little gardens so clean and full of stuff. I would challenge the land tor cleanliness and produce against any acre of ground in the country. The moral advantages too have been very great; and if it could be copied and extended, a" tendencies to idleness, drunkeness, tbeft, and might be greatly lessened,
rTHE ROYAL STUD.
THE ROYAL STUD. (From the John Bull.) Of all times, the present lime is Ihat in which il is most urgent that the iioyal Stud should be kept up. There is B" rush" for Ihe best English hurses, from all parts of Europe and America. There is no couutry in which fashion has so much force as in England. The very announcement of the sale ap- pears to have caused an anticipatory dump. The late meetiup »t Doncastcr was the worst the oldest sportsman living ever saw it was such a falling off as the youngest sportsman deari, could he be brought to life, would not believo. The Epsom meeting, on the contrary, was good; but that, being in the late reign, was before the sale of the Royal Stud was announced, or even imagined. lie must be a most unobservant and unconcerned Englishman, who has not seen that anything, rather than a depression of patronage and encouragement of the breed of horses is what the interests of the kingdom require. It is to be hoped Lord Melbourne will yet rousp himself to a sense of duty, and appoint a Committee of the Jockey Club, such as we have suggested, as better calculated than himself, to settle the point in question; or—if Lord Melbourne should still dis- play such national indiWerenee-it is to be hoped the Queen herself, discovering the protracted national apathy of her Ministers, pr oving herself thoroughly English," will gratify her people, by insisting upon her Ministers effecting some proper arrangement for the preservation of the Stud. But these are contingencies. And time presses. In tvccnty-four days, that Stud which it has taken the reigns of two English Kings to get together, for the national benefit of their subjects, may, to the national injury of those subjects, be torn asunder and tossed away—at a very large price we admit, but no sum can be an equivalent-and be in the pos- session of those, who, in the case of war, are the probable enemies of England. And let it never he forgotten, that this Stud once destroyed, there is no similar reserve, which can always be relierl upon. Other Monarchs have their Studs; the East India Company, as Sovereigns of our Eastern territories, have their Stud; but this Stud, founded by George IV., continued by William IV., and threatened to be abandoned under Victoria, is the only Stud, worthy of the name, which England ever had. Excellent as it i, it is but in, what may he called, and what ought to be, its infancy; the collection of only two short reigns the fine and promising child which should be fostered into perfect manhood. Let i: not be said that, under a new, a young, and necessarily inexperienced reign, some mean advantage was taken to deprive England of so use- ful, national, and characteristic an institution- destroyed, even before it had reached its prime. Let it not be said, that the five Arabians, of the highest caste, and presents from Eastern Princes to English Kings were sold under the Government of a juvenile English Queen. Let not such a horse as The Colonel, be sold to foreigners, and leave the country. Let not such a mare as Fleur-de-Lis. Let not, in fact, the Stud GO. Tht." noblemen and gentlemen, the Jockey Club, the sportsmen, the people, the press (as well provincial as metropolitan,) of England-must prevent this. But, it is time the measures of prevention were taken. We say again, there are but four-and-twenty days. And again we say, that, this Stud once gone, there is no other similar reserve which, in time of need, can always he fallen upon for support, with certainty and success. i:' The Times stales, f. Within these few weeks, foreigners from almost all parts of the Continent have been at Hampton Court to view the Stud and it is too likely, without considerable effort be made lit the approaching sale by English bidders, that many of the best lots may find their way to the establishments of Chantilly or Meudon—at which last place so many English racers are to be (ound. The Royal Stud, at the present moment, contains four stallions; forty-one brood-mares thirteen colt foals of 1S37; and eighteen filly (oals of the same year. They are all of them beautiful animals most of them of the highest order of blood and such all are fitting to constitute the collection of the Monarch of a people pie-eminent in the breeding and rearing of the noblest animal in the creation. T. V £ JJampton Court, Sept. 20th. TO JOHN BULL. SLR.—Several inaccurate lists having been publish- ed of the horses about to be disposed of from the Royal Stud, I request you to add the following, since, as there are many foreigners already arrived to make purchases," the undermentioned may be disposed of separately, or in (lie lot, a very great bargain, being drafied from the Royal Stud as being of no further service. Lot 1. Johnny, a Devonshire cob, by Pamphlet- teer, out of Tragedy, a lively animal, bot only adapted to a liq-ht weight, terribly over-matched in his late engagements. 2; Rice (aged), an Irish horse, capabilities un- known, not warranted. He has a colt in the market, by Theodocia. 3. Mulgrave, by "Yes or No," out of "Matilda,1 a showy horse, fit for the Park, but not for work— broke down by his Irish trainer. STALLIONS.

Sir John Conroy has addressed a letter to Mr Wright, the secretary of the Windsor Royal Hor- ticultural Society, announcang the intention of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent to become an annual subscriber of five pounds to that institution this sum by her Royal Highness's direction, will be given as cottagers' prizes. The Queen has also been pleased to honour the society with her patronag.. THE CoAt MINE ACCIDENT AT WORKINGTON. —Professor Sedgwick has written a letter to Mr Williamson Peile, of Workington, in which he has enclosed a draught for nearl y £40, which has been subscribed by the gentlemen forming the meeting of the Geological Section of the British Association, at their late meeting at Liverpool, on his mentioning the brave and generous conduct of a miner named Brenman, who, after having saved four individuals from the jaws of death, returned, at the hazard of his own life, to thf; stables in the mine, and effected the escape of an old man (the father of a large family), who "auld have perished but for his assistance. Mr Sedgwick wished the above-named sum of money to he given to the man, with a suitable address, in the presence of his fellow-workmen, which was complied with on Tuesday by Mr Peile, who went to Parton Pit, where Brenman is Jtow employed, and, calling the men together, he paid a high, compliment to Brenman's courage and humanity, and exhorted his fellow-workmen to follow his example in cases of similar emergency and danger,—Cumberland Packet. LORD JOHN AND THE OPERATIVES.—In the Radical True Sun of last night we find the following symptom ofanother split ;The united nothing- ness of Lords Noodle and Doodle isentirely eclipsed by that of Lord John Russell and his secretary, the Hon. Fox Maule. The Working Men's Association, having concocted a loyal address to her Majesty, were naturally desirous of presenting it by a depu- tation of their own body. By all means, replies Lord John; but then, yon must come to the levee which you will see announced in the Gazette and presety yourselves in Court dresses. The honest operatives took this ill-timed insult in a rather more dignified spirit than that in which it was offered and, declining to make fools of themselves and fun for the Court, only requested that his lordship would himself present their address in his official capacity. His lordship's secretary drily reports that his lord- ship had ''not failed to lay it before the Queen," furthermore this deponent sayeth not. 1f her Ma- jesty uttered either reply or comment, it remains safely stored in the eonfidential soul of Lord John Russell, wiih the otherstate secrets of which he is the guadian. It is not lonf: since Lord John Rus- sell complained bitterly of the Tories for interposing between the Queen and the people. Their interpo- sition was of a less offensive character than his own. Its drift was to put the Queen into communication with another class of her subjects. Not a very de- sirable class, we allow, for her to have much to do with, seeing that evil communications corrupt good manners." Lord John's interposition inter- cepts her communications with a class of which it is most desirable, most needful for the right discharge of her functions, that she should have some know- ledge. He bars the access of the industrious classes to the throne. The absurd condition of a Court dress is a prohibition. It is the worst form of pro- hibition. He turns them back from the royal pre- sence, and laughs in their faces, His lordship's insolence is oot prudent,"

ft'W'¡'U!P.r.ør'Jr'lJlll' !J8I( FLEXIBILITY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE „. — Dr. John Wailis was Savilian Professor of Geometry in the University of Oxford in IGII). Iu ll)j > he published a grammar of the English lan- guage, in Latin, which, though diffuse, is a work of great merit. It would have been well if subsequent grammarians of our language, who appear not to have seen it, had really known it? and made it their model and that some others, who have borrowed from it, had run much more into the Doctor's debt, that our obligations to them might be greater. He excelled m etymology, for his habits, as a geometer, left him to gift every subject to the bottom, and trace every branch, or even filament, of language to iis root. He is the author of the verses under the word "Twister," in Di-. Ioit)zson's Dictionri)-!I, which the Doctor calls remarkable, aud says they explain twist in all its senses." The occasion 011 which these verses were composed was' the follow- ing: A very learned Frenchman, con-versing with Dr. Wiillis, towards the cluse of Ihe year 105o, ex- patiating on the copiousness ot'his native language, and its richness in derivatives and syuonymcM, pro- duced in proof four lines on rope-making, which he appears to have composed for the purpose they are the following, aud, though technically formed, are admirably smooth and expressive: Quand un cordier, cordanl venet corder unc corde, Pour sa corde, trois cordons il accordc Mais, si un des cordons do la corde. dccorde, Le cordon tie cordant fait deeorder la corde. To show that the English language was, at least, equally rich and copious, Dr. Wrallis immediately translated the verses into English, word foi- word, and of equal syllables, taking the word "twist" for the Frenchman's woi-d coi-de, When a twister a twisting- will twist him a twist., For the twisting of his twist he three twines doth in- twist; But if one of the twines of twist do untwist, The twine that untwisteth untwistcth the twist. Here are nouns, verbs, participles, and synonymes, preeisely equal to those of the French ill number, quantity aud force; but to show that the riche" of his language were not exhausted, he added the fol- lowing, which continue the subject Lntvvirling the-twine that untwistcth between, He twirls with his twister the two in a twine 11 Then twice h.t%ing twisted the iwiues of the twine, He twitclieth the twine he had twined in twain. The French funds, being previously exhausted, no attempt could be made to bring in a parallel. The English mine, however, was still rich and to show that it could be still worked to advantage, Dr. Wailis added the following qiiati-aiii The twain that, in twining before in the twine, As twins were intwisted, he now doth untwine 'Twixt the twain intertwisting a twine, more between, He, twirling his twister, makes a twist of the twine. I question much whether there is a language in the world capable of such a variety of flexions, or which cau aifoid so many terms and derivatives, all legitimate, coming from one root, without bor- rowing a single term from any other tongue, or coming one for the nonce; for there Is not a word used above by Dr. Wallis that is not pure Anglo- Saxon, not one exotic being entertained; for Ihe preposition inter, which might have been avoided, does not belong to the root, and only serves to show it in another state; and as for the preposition in, we have not borrowed it from the Latin, as some suppose, as it is a pure English word, and is found in many terms of the An-lo-Saxon.-Dr. A. Clarke's Miscellaneous Works, III.
BREAD WITHOUT YEAST. ....
BREAD WITHOUT YEAST. To the Ellilorof the New Farmers' Journal. SIR,—I have been induced to make the following remarks in consequence of the great scarcity of yeast in many places and though that scarcity may not 11 exist everywhere, yet some of the curious m?y be induced to try the experiment, and they will thus be provided with resource in case of the failure of the article, which many persons have no idea can be dispensed with in the making of bread. Bread has been universally admitted to be the most useful and nutritions article of food on which man subsists and when we consider how much more salutary it is when made with good yeast, than when made without any, or with that which has lost its virtues, we shall readily perceive the utility of a substitute for although there are some persons who even prefer what is called heavy bread, yet this is only an exception to the general rule, and I have no doubt that most of the readers of this article would prefer that which is light. In inakins; bread, the salt which is put in, mixing with the carbonic acid gas contained in the yeast (in which it abounds, providing it is good) cause- a kind of effervescence, and then, bybeiii, placed in a warm situation, the gas, in endeavouring to escape, causes the bread to rise and make it light. If muriatic acid and carbonate of soda be mixed together, carbonic acid gas will be evolved there- fore, if a portion of muriatic acid be mixed with half the quantity of nipal or flour intended to be used, and a portion of carbonate of soda with the other half, and the whole aiterwardi well mingled, the carbouic acid gas in endeavouring to escape will make the bread equally light and palatable as when made with yeast; and I ought to remark that no salt will be required, for the ingredients used, being component parts of salt, the addition of that article (which is of importance when yeast is used) is altogether unne- cessary. The proportion, perhaps, may vary according to the taste of the maker, but generally four drachms of muriatic acid, and two drachms and a scruple of carbonate of soda, will be found sufficient for one stone of meal or flour; practice, however, will prove the best guide.

NEW WATER LT"LY.-The Victoria Regina.- Of this species the following account is extracted from Mr Schomburgh's piper *I' It was on the first of January this year, while contending with- the difficulties Nature opposed in different forms to our progress up the river Berbice, (in British Guiana,) that we arrived at a point where the river expanded and formed a etil-t-etitiess basin some objection in the southern extremity of this basin attracted my attention—it was impossible to form any idea what it could be, and, animating the crew to increase the rale of paddling, shortly afterwards we were opposite the object which had raised my Cil"i(IsitY-- a vegetable wonder! All calamities were forgotten I felt as a botanist, and felt myself rewarded A gigantic leaf, from five to six feet in diameter, salver shaped, with a broad rim of a light green above, and a vivid crim- son below resting upon the water. Quite in character with the wonderful leaf was the luxuriant flower, consisting of many hundred peta's passing in alternate tints from pure white to rose aud pink. The smooth water water was covered with them. 1 rowed from one to another, and observed always something new to admire. The leaf on its surface is of a bright green, in form orbiculate, with this exception, opposite its axis, where it is slightly bent in: its diameter measured from five to six feet. Around the margin extended a rim, about three to five inches high; on the inside light green, like the surface of the leaf; oil the outside, like the leaf's lower part, of a bright crimson. The stem of the flower is an inch thick near the calyx, and is studded with sharp elastic prickles about three quarters of an inch in length, The calyx is four-leaved, each upwards of seven inches in length, and three in breadth at the base; they are thick, white inside; reddish-brown, and prickly outside. The diameter of the calyx is 12 to 13 inches: on it rests the niag- nificeut flower which, when fully developed covers completely the calyx with its hundred petals. When it first opens it is while, with pink in the middle, which sp.icads itself over the whole flower the more it advances in age; and it it generally found the next day of a pink colour. As if to enhance its beauty, it is sweet sceuted. Like others of its tribe, it possesses a fleshy disk, and petals and stamens pass gradually into each other, and many petaloid leaves may be observed, which have vestiges of an anther. We found these flowers afterwards frequently, and the higher we advanced the more gigantic they became we measured^ a leaf which was six feet five inches in diameter: its rim five and a half inches high, and the flower across fifteen inches. The flower is much injoied by a beetle, which destroys completely the inner part. We have counted from 20 to 3U in one (1()\vcr," BALLROOM LEGISLA TION.—-A cause is actually pending before one or the provincial tribunals of I'rance in which the plaintiff ^ues the defendant for damages, because the defendant's wife refused to dance with the plaintiff at II public ball. The touchy gentleman, it seems, who has arrived at the mature age of 5U, solicited the honour of lady's hand for a quadrille, but the lady excused herself oil the plea of indisposition. A few minutes atterwardsa similar invitation from a somewhat less venerable beau was most graciously accepted. The offended preux. chevalier does not appear to have challenged his more* successful rival, but to have contented himself with defying the lady and her husband to the lists of the Court of a Juge de Paix, where he claims an indemnification of sixty francs for the injury nflicted on him and calls upon the tribunal t0 command the fair offender to abstain from a repetition of the offence, i. e., to submit to danco with him on every festive occasion when it may be his august pleasure to tarour her with his commands,
