POETRY. HINTS FOR A VALENTINE! ELIZA. Not the soft sighs, of vernal gales, The fragranc of the flowery vales, The murmurs of the crystal rill, -The vocal grove, the verdant hill •, Not all their charms though all unite, Can touch my bosom with delight; Not all the gems on India's shore, Not all Peru's unbounded store, Not all the power, nor all the fame That heroes, kings, or poets cturn; Nor knowledge which the learned approve, To form a wish, my soul can move. Yer nature's charms allure my eyes, And knowledge, wealth, and fame I prize. Fame, wealth, and knowledge. 1 obtain, Nor seek I nature's charms in vain For in Eliza all combine. And dear Eliza thou art mine! Merthyr, March 12th, 1039. W. W. 1

SCIENCE. MR GUR.VF.Y'S LAMP. — In the spring of 1835, Mr Gurney proposed, by combining oxygen with the flame of wax or oil, to obtain light of great power, by which the objections to the lime light might be obviated. The proposition was imme- diately entertained, and the new light was put under experiment at the Trinity House. It is a well-known fact that oxygen. increases the bril- liancy of burning bodies, to a, very great extent. Sulphur which burns in common air with a pale blue iand scarcely visible flame, when put into oxgyen gives out a very intense light; and phos- phorous, when so surrounded, gives out a. ligbt so intense that the eye cannot bear it. The same happens with charcoal, and with the flame of oil, wax, or other bodies which contain it. Dr. Priestley applied the principle to a common argand lamp, but owing to the oxygen meeting with car- bon in a half state of combination with the atmos- phere, be failed to produce the brillancy which, from theory, he had expected. Mr Gurney had completely removed this defect by introducing the oxygen into the interior of the flame, where the carbon is pure and uncombined, and thereby pro- duces a light with power equal to sixty argand lamps. The lamps used in light-houses on the French coast give only ten. Mr Gurney's light is cheaper than the French in the proportion of 12 to 17, taking all wear and tear into account. Oxygen is obtained by heating black oxide of manganese, which is found in large quantities in Cornwall and Devonshire. The Trinity House, it appears, has resolved to adopt the light, and the House of Com- mons is to be lighted with it after the Easter recess. -Athenaum. THE NEW ART OF PAINTING BY SOLAR LIGHT. —This discovery will, doubtless, make a great revolution in the art of design, and in a multitude of cases will supersede old methods altogether in- feiior. The temporary interest of many may at first be affected, but whatever has the true charac- ter of good cannot essentially do mischief. the invention of printing soon gave employment to many more than were employed as copyists. Even in our own time, the substitution of steel plates for engraving instead of copper, although fifty times as many copies may be taken from them, has, by the substitution of good engravings for indifferent ones, so extended the demand, that more steel plates are now required than were formerly used of copper Blackwood's Tlagazine for March.

The inhabitants of the street have petitioned the Marylebone Vestry to pave the entire street with wood, which has stood better than any of the other experiments, and causes much less noise than the usual mode of paving. A JUDGE IN THE DARK.— A Learned Judge was recently on a periodical visit 10 a neighbouring town, for the purpose of adjusting sundry differences betwixt debtor and creditor. Amongst a number of cases there was one in which the manager of the gas work was pursuer, and the eaoler of the town defender. After hfuiiiigf parties the Sheriff decided in favour of the defuider, on which the pursuer promptly turned off the gas, and left the Learned Gentleman and his auditory in total darkness.- Glasgnw Courier.

PAT IN THE STRAW.—An honest Hibernian, whose bank-pocket (to use hia own phrase) had stopped payment, was forced to the sad necessity of perambulating the streets of Edinburgh two nights together, for want of a few pence to pay his lodg- ings, when accidentally hearing a person talk of the )yiug-in-hospital, he exclaimed, "That's the place for me!

IMPERIAL PAR LI A MEXT. ISO- HOUSE OF LORDS-THURSDAY, MARCH 7. Amongst a variety of petitions, I.ord BROUGHAM presented two on the subject of Railways in Ireland, and took the opportunity of expressing (in opposition to the prayer of the said petition), his strong objection to any grant of public money for. the construction of such works, and gave notice that next week he would move tor certain returns tending to elucidate his views. A conversation then arose on Lord HARD- WICKE's bringing forward some additional par- ticulars to confirm his former remarks on the com- paratively weak state of our Navy Establishment, in the course of which The Duke of WELLINGTON rose to give his opinion on this Most vital subject—an opinion which, like all that his Grace delivers, sets the state of things in tha clearest light. His argu- ments may be thus summed up:—We vere carrying on a war in North America, and a most expensive war in Asia, and both of them required all the force this-country could employ in order to bring them to an early and honourable termination. We "were, however, doing both with a reduced peace establishment, and were incurring all des- criptions of risks in every other part of the world in order to do this. The Noble Earl had been talking about a few masts and sails, when the whole force which the country could command ought to be engaged in the war now carried on, in order to bring the coniest to an honourable ter- mination. He had said this about a year and a half ago, and he now repeated it again. By the way, he must observe that the French fleet arrived in the Gulf °f Mexico in November; ours did not arrive till the 1st of December, and he mentioned these dates in order to show their Lordships the absolute impossibility of carrying on war with a peace establishment, not only with a view to war, but also with a view to peace duties, because it was totally inadequate to perform them. Taking into view the state of all the establishments, he contended that they were not at the present moment in a condition for the performance of the duties either of war or peace." The Marquis of WEST ME ATH having moved for a copy of a memorial to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland with respect to the liberation of a particu- lar prisoner (Thomas Cooke) from the gaol of Alul- lingar, The Marquess of NORMANBY made a statement in defence of his own conduct; ani after a length- ened discussion the motion was withdrawn, and their Lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMIMONS-THURSDAY, MARCH 7. After a variety of preliminary matter had been disposed of, Mr SHAW moved, pursuant to notice, for a variety of returns, illustrative of the domestic state of Ireland in regard to crime, punishments, and other similar details. The Right Hon. Member proceeded to show that the official returns hitherto produced have been both inaccurate, insufficient in extent, and in many respects delusory. Analysing these returns, he proved that the diminution of crime which they presented arose from the de- ceptive mode in which they are made up, and that, in point of fact, there has been a fearful increase, and, more particularly, in agrarian outrages. His description of the open and barbarous manner in which these outrages were perpetrated, produced a powerful effect in the House and the Honourable Member confirmed its truth by instancing parti- cular cases. He then boldly denounced the agita- tion party and the Government, as guilty of foment- ing the passions and prejudices which have led to the present demoralization of Ireland. Quoting Mr O'Connell's own language, he exposed the effect which it was intended to have and which it had, in exoitinghis countrymen to acts of lawless violence; and referring to the Government appoint- ments, he showed how they were calculated to pro- duce the same results. Every effort seemed to be purposely made to encourage a system of reckless agitation, and to dishearten those who constitu- tionally struggled to oppose it. Mr O'CON,\ELL intii-nated that he should move, as an amendment, the extension of the proposed returns to England, Scotland, and Wales. Lord MORPETH admitted Mr Shaw's state- ments as to the extent of olltrage in L etand; but then," said he, ''it was thus with Ireland in all times. (Be it observed, however, that Mr Shaw proved the increase of that extent, and this since the boasted panacea of Emancipation.) Mr COLQUHOUN entered at length into the sub- ject of Ribandisin, which, though not acknowledged io the po'ice returns, was more active than ever. The argument that outrages had exiterl in all li mes did not hold good former Governments had come to Parliament to repress them, but the boist of the present Government had been that there were none to repress I What he, and what the country at large complained of, was that the clemency of Government was uniformly extended to the most notorious offenders, crime allowed to stalk abroad with impunity, and the well-affected discouraged and disheartened. Mr PIGOT, the new Solicitor-General for Ireland, attempted a reply, by the e id of sundry //>; and after speeches from other gentlemen on both sides of the House, Mr O'CONNELL delivered himself of the abuse which he can command at will, and then asserting everything and proving nothing, concluded with a panegyric on Lord Normanby. He was followed by Mr Serjeant JACKSON, who demolished all his fallacies in the most unsparing manner, and brought fact after fact to demonstrate the real and evil influence which Mr O'Connell possessed over his deluded countrymen, as well as of the injurious subserviency of the present Govern- ment to that gentleman and his designs. The debate was then adjourned, and the House separated at two o'clock. HOUSE OF LOR DS-FIUDAY, MARCil 8. Several petitions were presented by the Marquess of BUTE, complaining of religious destitution iu Scotland. The Ear! of RODEN gave notice for the 2 lst of a motion on the state of Ireland. The Earl of RADNOR, on behalf of the Earl Fifz- william, fixed the motion of the latter, on the Corn Laws, for the 14th inst., subject to alteration if that day should not be found convenient. Lord BROUGHAM moved for a return from the Court of Bankruptcy of an account of all sums re- ceived on account of commissions of bankruptcy which had been issued previously to the 1st of Jan. 1838, distinguishing the different commissions. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought so highly of the new system that he should be happy to concur with the Noble and Learned Lord in extending it throughout the country. Lord ELLENBOROUGH called attention to the recent allegation of the Marquess of Normanby, that all the papers in the possession of Government oil the subject of Canada had been laid on the table, whereas several had not been produced that were mentioned in the Earl of Durham's report. The Marquess of Normanby and the Earl of Dur- ham explained that the whole of the papers alluded to had not been received. Lord LYNDHURST again directed the attention of the House to the recent outrage on the British flag at Vera Cruz, observing, that as the Prince de Joinville, the commander of the French corvette, had been for some days in Paris, and as Lieutenant Croke, who commanded the packet, was in this country, Lord Minto must be enibled to obtain in- formation on all the circumstances connected with the transaction. After recapitulating the facts already known, the Noble and Learned Lord de- clared that a more grave, a more serious insult or outrage, was never committed against this country. He said he believed the act was committed under the direction of the French Admiral; but if not, the Admiral was, at all events, present, saw the act, re- ceived the pilot, and did not restore him. Tile Ad- miral, therefore, adopted the act, and was responsible for it. The apology of the Admiral was nothing. Application ought to be made to the French Govern- ment. Lord MINTO said, he hoped in a very few days to be put in possession of the whole of the circum- stance. of the case. He knew nothing on the sublect officially. He had, however, heard, and he believed that the explanation given by the officers on board of the corvette was likely to be this that there was a certain number of vessels coming out ot Vera Cruz to break the blockade; ttitit a si-tial was made by the Admiral to take the pilots out of those ships, and that the Prince de Joinville, mistaking the appear- ance of the packet, considered the Admiral's order to apply to the Express. Now, supposing these orders to have been given and acted upon in entire ignorance of the vessel being a British packet, and supposing that when the Aduiival had learned that it was a British vessel, he had stated that he had given the order in ignorance of that fact, Commodore Douglas might have considered this to be a satisfac- tory explanation. A communication, however, had been made by this country to the government of Fiance, and it would be but decent to wait for their explanation. Lord Brougham and Lord 31elville thought this'ex- planation anything but satisfactory, and were of opinion that redress for the insult must be required from the French Government. Lord 31intoaud Lord Lansdo wne promised to make known the result of the application to the Fiench f Government on the subject. Their Lordships then adjourned. I .##1. HOUSg OF COMMONS—Friday, MARCH 8. A great many petitions were presented, mot of which were against any alteration in the existing Corn Laws. Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE, in laying on the taole some papers relating to India, said, in answer to a question by Sir James Graham, that he had no ob- jection to produce some of the papers relating to the occupation of Karak, and that the rest should be forthcoming whenever the production of them would not be prejudicial to the public service. In reply to Mr Hume the Right Hon. Baronet ex- plained why the Deccan and Burmese prize-monies had not been distributed. To an inquiry by Sir Robert Inglis, Lord PALMERSTON stated that the negotia- tions with Portugal on the subject of the-fclave Trade had not been successful, and that, in conse- quence, it was his Lordship's intention to introduce a Bill into Parliament, givinj to British crosiers the same authority over Portuguese ships south of the Line as they already had north of it. !n reply to a question, the ATTORNEY- GENERAL said he hoped to bring on the Regis- tration of Electors Bill on Monday, but he WaS not at all sure of doing so, as the vote of supply had been so much delayed as to have become urgent. MrT.DUNCOMBE gave notice, that on goins into Committee of Supply he would move a resolu- tion, "That the House having, on a former day, agreed to a resolution that no greater restrictions should be placed upon theatrical entertainments in Westminster than in other parts of the metro- polis, her Majesty's Ministers had thought proper to interfere in the free and unfettered discretion of the Legislature, by directing the Lord Chamberlain to restrict the performance of theatrical entertain- ments in the city of Westminster, and thereby de- feat the resolution agreed to by the Commons'House of Parliament." A debate followed, on the motion of Mr Banner- man, that the printer of the Times newspaper should be called to the bar on Monday, for having printed in that paper certain words reflecting on the Honourable Member, and said to have been used by Lord Brougham while sitting judicially in 'he House of Lords. The Noble Lord, it appear- ed, had declined to submit to any question upon the expressions he might have made use of in his i'td:cial capacity. After a long discussion, in which Sir Peel, Sir G. Clerk, Mr C. W. Wynn, Lord J. Russ-II, the Lord Advocate, and other Hon. Mem- bers aldressed the House, the motion was negatived wittiout-a division. A convrsation took place t)6 the question whe- ther the aoiourned debate on Mr Shaw's motion of the previous night should be at once resumed. On the suggestion ot Sir ROBEllT PEEL, it was onderstool that the discussion should come on upon Monday. On the order ollhe day having been read for the second reading of the Irish Municipal Corporations Bill, Lord STANLEY expressed his inability to con- cur with what he hac heard wa* the intention of some Honourable Members on his side of the House, and vote against the second reading of the Bill. When the Tithe Bill passed, his Lordship con- sidered that he had pledged himself to entertain the present measure. Sir Robert 1NGL1S moved that the Bill be read a second time that day six months. Sir Robert PEEL stated, with great clearness and force, his reasons for agreeing to the second reading at the present time, though lie could not, ot course, but regret that in so dointf he must differ from some few of his friends. (Here a sort of chuckle was audible amon the Ministerialists, who seemed to hope some fruit for their faction from the difference of sentiment on the Conservative benches.) "Oh, I avow it," pursued Sir Robert Peel; "and if you hope any permanent party advantage from to-night's division, you will find yourselves widely mistaken." This assurance was followed by a burst of applause from his own party, and he then proceeded to state, on the same grounds taken by Lord Stanley, the obligation under which he felt himself to support the second reading, in consequence of the enactment oi the Poor Law and the Tithe Law, the stipulated conditions. it was a public, not a private understanding, on which he acted: with those whom he decidedly opposed he had never had, and he never would have, any private arrangements. Lord Ebrington's appoint- ment did not, in his view, vary the case. At the same time he disapproved that appointment as deeply as any man. A Viceroy, who had declared a hope that the war against the Church would thenceforth be transferred from the po',r to the rich, had paralyzed his own powers for good How had the Administration of 1834-5 been a«sailed by the supporters of Lord Ebrington for the supposed tendency to Orangeisin of some of its members! Was it equal justice now, to the Protestant minority and the much-reduced Church, to select for the head of the Irish Government a man who had spoken of war against the Protestant establishment, not as a matter ot prophecy, but as a matter of hope? All this be strongly felt; but he felt more strong 'y the necessity ot adherence to the plighted understanding that this Bill should be suffered to go into Committee- Mr Serjeant JACKSON concurred with Lord Stanley and Sir R. Facias to the cogency of the compact, but would strive in Committee to secure a bona fide £ 10 qualificati°n, tested by rating. The disunion hoped for would not ari?e: Protestant* might differ about details, but would stand as one man against any inroads on their religion. Mr ELLIS, who closed the debate, was im- perfectly heard, from the impatience of the House to proceed, which they now did, to a division, when the second reading of the Bill was carried by a majority of SOi) to 39. The Bill is to be committed pro forma on Monday, in order that certain alterations may be made in it, and it is to be recommitted after Easter. On the motion for the House resolving itself into Committee of supply, Mr UAGGE moved as an amendment that the House do now adjourn, but the amendment was negatived by 276 to 1. The Committee of Supply was subsequently postponed till Monday. Sir F. TRENCH moved a series of resolutions relative to the lighting of the House, but, after a short conversation, he withdrew tHe motion. The House adjourned at half-past 12 o'clock till Monday. "#,#" .# HOUSE OF LORDS—Monday, March 11. Some conversation arose as to the day for dis- I cussing Lord Fitzwilliam's motion on the Corn Laws, but no day appears to have been fixed. In answer to the Bishop of London, Lord MELBOURNE stated positively that there was no intention of having a Sunday delivery of letters in London. Lord LYNDHURST then, in an able and per- spicuous statement, called the attention of the House to Mr Lawson's petition to be allowed to produce a certain evidence taken before a Select Committee of the House. Justice and eloquence prevailed, and the motion was carried. .### HOUSE OF COMMONS—Monday, MARCH 11. A great variety of petitions was presented among them one against the return of Mr Bruen. The 11th of April was named for taking the petition into consideration. Mr T. DUNCO.VIBE, in pursuance of notice, called the attention of the House to the position in which it stood with regard to the resolution in which the House expressed its opinion on the sub- ject of the restrictions on theatrical performances in Westminster during Lent. Having referred to the correspondence between Mr Martins and the Lessee of Drury-lane Theatre, he contended that the interference of her Majesty's Ministers was uncalled (or. Lord J. RUSSELL, after defending the course he had pursued in not acting according to the last re- solution of the House, remarked that it must be admitted whether they looked to London, or to what took place in Sussex, they saw that persons of the most serious views with regard to religion, and a great portion of the clergy themselves, no longer observed Lent in the manner in which it had been observed in the early times of the Refor- mation; and as the clergy had not objected to give dinners and go to balls during the period in ques- tion, it was not expedient to keep up the distinction which now existed. Though the Lord Chamberlain had made an order with regard to Drury-lane Tueatre, the existing restrictions would be removed by making a change in the law hereafter. The debate on Mr Shaw's motion was then re- sumed, and lasted some time, but the Members gradually went away, and at a quarter past two only 37 Members were present, which being noticed, the House was of course adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS—TuksdAY, MARCH 12. Lord GALLOWAY, referring to the commis- sion appointed to inquire into the state of reli- gious instruction in Scotland, asked whether "it was the intention of Ministers to make any "proposition to Parliament founded on the result of the commission Viscount MELBOURNE said that no pledge expressed or implied, had been given by Govern- ment on the subject; antl he begged leave to state that Ministers had no intention to make any proposition with respect to it. Several petitions wore preson'ed for and against the repeal of the Corn Laws. In answer to an important statement by Lord Brougham on the subject of Turkey and Egypt, Lord MELBOURNE stated, that Her Majesty's Government was iyioit anxioiis, in conjunction with Her Majesty's allies, to do everything in their power to restrain the parties referred to from committing acts of aggression on each other, and to preserve, as far as possible, the peace of that quarter of the world to which their Lordships' attention had been called. Both parties having freely acceeded to the terms proposed, lie trusted that they would fairly fulfil their respective en- gagements." Lord BROUGHAM professed himself satisfied. 1 ord RIPON, after giving an amusing account of the flippancy and folly of the Canadian rebel ,)[,KetiziL-, ii)oved for ''the production of certain papers relative to the communications which passed in 1$32 between j}|g Secretary of State for Colonial Affairs aud Mr M'Kenzis. The motiou was granted. Some further petitions were then presented, the Transfer of Aids Bill went through a com- mittee and the House adjourned. .##ø# HOUSE OF COMMONS-TUESDAY, MARCH 12. The motion for a call of the House was with- drawn. At the request of Mr Lambton, Mr PEASE gave an explanation respecting the North of England Railway Company he said "the parties who had projected the line had expended upwards of < £ ^>0,0(10, and contracted debts tn the amount of ^11)0,000, so that it was not likely that they would abandon an undertaking which had cost so much money. He believed it was their intention to proceed with the line trom London to Edinburgh as rapidly as their finances would permit." A vast number of petitions were presented for and against the repeal of the corn laws. Mr HUME gave notice, that on Monday next, upon the order, for going into committee of supply being read, he would bring forward his motion with respect to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. Upon the motion of Sir E. KNATCHBULL, a return was ordered of the licensed victuallers con- victed of police or excise offences (distinguishing each) from the year 1830 to the year 1839, inclu- sive, in Englund and Wales. Several other re- turns connected with the subject were also ordered. Sir T. ACLAND suggested to the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Home Department, the pro- priety of postponing the second reading of the Ec- clesiastical Duties Bill) which stood for Monday. Lord J. RUSSELL admitted that it would be im- possible to bring in this Bill on Monday, but hoped to be able to do so before Easter. In answer to Lord Castlereagh, Lord MORPETH stated that he proposed bring- ing up the resolution respecting railways in Ireland which had been voted by the House of Commons on the earliest open day after Easter. Sir R, INGLIS pot to the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer similar questions to those addressed by the Bishop of London to Lord Melbourne in the House of Lords on Monday, touching the post office. The CHANCELLOR answerer), there was no inten- tion whalerer of sending out letters on the Sunday. With respect to the "mere transmission of letters arriving in London on Sundays by niails despatched previous to the Sunday, he was desirous of reserving his opinion." Lord J. RUSSELL assured Mr Pakingfon that the Bill for holding district sessions would not be pressed forward until the magistrates throughout the country should have had an opportunity of fully considering its provisions." Mr VILLIERS then brought fprvtard lii- motion I for the House to resolve itself illlo tt Committee on the Cllrn Laws. The Hon. Member began by de- claring that he meant not to deserve the reproach made on a former occasion of discussing this ques- tion on narrow grounds. Assuming the lahourer to be the most numerous of the productive classes, he endeavoured to prove, by the report of the Poor Law Commissioners, "lid by a series of tables, showing the rate or wages, price of provisions, and what wages would purchase at ditferent periods, that the high price of corn was very injurious to the labourer; tht he got proportionately less to eat as it rose in price and that his condition had been deteriorated by the high prices )f corn as kept up by the Corn Laws. He contended that more work for less money was always extorted from the labourer during high prices, than when prices were low. He argued, too, that the Corn Laws did not provide employment for the agricultural population 7,000 of whom had been removed into the towns since the new Poor Liw Act was passed. He main- tained that the farmers had been in -a continual state of distress, and their labourers more discon- tented, incelhe Corn Laws'were passed than evcr before; and that the same ground on which the landlords claimed protection from foreign competi- tion-the cheapness of foreicm production, operated in prescribing protection to the manufacturers but they demand it only by having the Corn Laws re- pealed. He adverted to (he law which kept (he profit of capi,"ii's'!i cq«ial and contended that the Corn LHV, by enhancing the out. going of the farmer for rates, taxes, subsistence, seed-corn and wages, increased the burdens; and that not only va, there great distress amongst the farmers in conjunction with the Corn Laws, but the Corn Laws. by raising the price, increasing their out-goings, and diminish- ing profits, were the cause of their di-tress. Even the report of the first Agricultural Committee traced the distress to the Corn Laws. Entering into detail, he then pointed out the mallncr ill w hich farmers had been deluded by the assurance of the law, that wheat should sell at one time at SOl", and another at 64s., into promising a corresponding rent for the land, and then, being unable to obtain such a price, becoming beggared, and dependent on their landlords. He alluded to the effect of the laws, in shutting us out of foreign markets, and letting in foreign crops when our crops were short, so as always to prevent the farmer from reap- ing the advantage he expected. He examined at some length the arguments set up by the land- owners, and concluded a long speech hy moving for a Committee of the whole House. Sir GEORGE STRICKLAND seconded the mo- tion, aud eute.ed more than Mr Villiers into the effects of the Corn Laws on the manufacturers, anJ on the prices of corn. Mr CAYLEY rpse to move an amendment; but, instead of proposing that of which he had given notice, he should, under advice, meet the questiou by a direct negative. Alter replying' to the arguments urged by Mr Villiers, he adverted !o the large capital, 25J millions, invested oil the faith of the Corn Laws. He then went on to show, that agri- cultural interests of this country could not compete with the lowly taxed production and low-priced labour of the foreign farmer; and contended that the British cultivation Ought not to be ruined by foreign competition, and sacrificed to a party and a class which, however useful in their respective posi- tions, constituted olllya minority ill the state, and COUI(I not, it) justice, claini such a sierifice. Mr P. THOMSON supported the motion for going into committee, to ascertain in what manner they could introduce such a practical change in the system of Corn Laws as would be beneficial to all parties, aud not injurious to any existing interests. After some observations from Sir E. KNATCH- BULL, the debate was adjourned.

The former exhibit an increase of 7^1 ioell over the numbers of 1838-9; the total of an ranks for 1838-9 having been 109,0^7, and the number required for 1839-40, 109,818. The increase of expenee on the effective service, is £ 170,239; the decrease in the non- effective service, 0 £ '32,t3'J9. entire charge for the two services, otter deducting £ 714,696 to be paid by the Eist India Company, is 199,810. The estimate for the naval service of 1839-40, is 5,459,374 that for 1838-9, £ 4,980,911. The increase for the next, over the last year, is there- fore £ 498,403. The number of seamen for the year is put down at 23,165; of bOYiI, 2000 j of marines afloat, 5509! ofmarincli as ilore, 3500-total, 34,105. The trial of Mr Stephens, the Dissenting preacher, has been postponed, and in all probability will never take place. The Government have bungled this business in a most ridiculous manner, aud find that, even under the O'Connell influence, they must drop the whole affaIr. We should like to know what this silly job has cost, in the way of law expenses, travelling expenses, and all other minor charges—not excepting l^e_ 'dietary of some of the distinguished functionaries who have been down in the disturbed districts—disturbed, too, at the time when Lord John Russell stated publicly, at Liverpool, that the disturbers were perfectly right in disturbing them. Music CHARMS THE SAVAGE BIZEA-T.-The other evening an oysterman with his basked dropped into a tap-room at Barnsley, and whilst all was attention to a song from a hoarse lime burner, a raven-eyed lad called out (pointing to the basket) sea! sea!-caze wun on am bopponing. "Soa ther iz lad," said one of the company, hey, nobbat ta see that," says the oysterman learnedly, "haw music charms the, savage breast.
