J POETRY. TWO SONNETS ON A LATR SOARING EXPE- DITION TO THE LORDS. BY SIR MORGAN O'OOHERTY, BART. (From Fraser's Magaxine for October.) I. ON SPRING RICK, IN THE CHARACTER OF GANYMEDE. When. as the poets sing, high-judgiug Jove, In plenitude of premiers hip decreed To give. with grace, his favourite Ganymede From earth-the Lower House—a kindly shove, In pitchfork fashion, to the House above, He sent his o vn brave bird, with hastiest speed, Upon that noble mission, to proer-od Down swooping.from the sky the eagle drove, And caught the vouth, and upward towered again, Into Jove's Court of Peers. As fine, a flight Has llice, the soaring Superficial, ta'e.n .\t Melbourne's bidding. Therefore doth the wight, In order that his name should be en regie, Choose Ganymede ali type, and write himself Monteagle. 11. ON SPRING RICE, IN THE C1IA RASTER OF DAN. O'ROPRKE But not alone to Ganymede in fame Is our up-springing statesman like. Another Proud hero of romance, an Irish brother (See Crofty Croker), DanO'Hourke by name, Has in his flying match done much the same. Dan, from a dirty bog wln-TP. he was sticking. Bothering and sweating, bundling, blundering,kicking, A niockto all, a thing of jeer and game- Mounted an Uagle, and so reached the moon So Spring, all floundering in the dismal mass Of his Exchequer blundering, hailed the boon Which his Mount-Eagle sent him in distress. But better Kice than has done the trick. Because John Bull, not; he, has piayed the lunatic. Chequers, Downing-street, Sept. 29.

SCIENCE. ASTRONOMICAL NOTICES. October, I 839,-No. 15. Mcreurtf will not be visible this month, his superior conjunction with the aon occuring on the 15th. 3 Venus arrives at her inferior conjunction with the sun on the 5th; but about the 25th her fine crescent will be sufficiently elevated above the horizon to admit of examination by the telescope, shortly before sunrise, on fine clear mornings. Her apparent diameter at this time will be about 50" and her appearance will become daily more brilliant and interesting. Mars is still hoveiing over the south-western horizon, but is too small to claim attention. Jupiter will remain invisible throughout the month. His conjunction with the sun happens on the 22nd. Saturn still continues visible in the south-west soon after sunset, but is now too near the horizon to be observed with advantage. On the night of the 12th he comes into conjunction with Mars the latter planet being then about three degress to the south. The principal star occulted this month is phi Aquarii, which occurs on the evening of the 19th, at five o'clock. No. 96 of the same constella- tion will also be hidden from our view by the moon, soon after eight o'clock on the same evening; both stars will reappear in about an hour from the time of immersion.

THE CHURCH. THE CHuitcn.The only real cause why the Church of England sustained in past years any ap- parent depression, is to be found in one circumstance, most remarkable in itself, and most extensive iu this as in all its consequences—viz., the very extraor- dinary increase of the population in particular dis- tricts, so rapid that the institutions of the country have been wholly inadequate to meet the new demand. An active generosity among all classes of the Church has been called into exertion, and puts the professing Voluntaries to an utter and open shame; and already the seeds of a happier growth are sown throughout the empire. One things alone is wanting, the dis- charge by Government of a paramount duty,—the Jjroridmg for Church Extension. Our rulers may rest assured that this great and righteous claim will be pressed upon them with an eagerness they cannot resist; and it cannot now be long before our Holy Church ia again extended to the just and legitimate dimensions of a National Establialument.- Liverpool Standard. THE FINE OLD CHURCH of Ashbourne, in Derby- shire, is at present undergoing a very extensive internal beautifying and repairi:~g A public subscription has been raised, and the sum already obtained amounts to upwards of £ 2,000. A bazaar is to be held in Ashbourne at the end of thu month, the proceeds of •wh ich are to be added to the amount already sub- scribed. Ashbourne Church is one of the finest, oldest, and largest churches in Derbyshire, and it is well worth the repair which it is receiving.

GRIMSHAW, while preaching in the Church at Turvey, Bedfordshire, a fortnight since, was seized with a fit, and now lies in a precarious state. MR SERJEANT WILDE, M.P. for Newark, has given the sum of Zloo towards liquidating the debt incur- red by the erection of Christ Church, in that borough; and although the building and endowment coat the sum of X5,300, the whole of that amount has been raised (with the exception of £68, the debt now due) by voluntary contributions.—Nottingham Journal.

These present. costuearly £ 40. The, canoni- cals were made of the most costly material, and the books were the Oxford large folio editions, handsome- ly bound. On the cover of the Bible was a suitable inscription. The Rev. Dr. Burton, who seemed mnch affected, mounted to the reading desk in his new robes, and acknowledged the present in an eloquent address, breathing the most kindly feelings of genuine piety. It may be mentioned to the credit of the parishioners of All Saints, that they lately expended .t600 upon the exterior, and f 250 upon the interior adorning of their eburch.-Heitichester, Chronicle, BISHOP HEBER.—"Ihe following epitaph has just been inscribed on the pedestal of Chantrey's fine mo- r nument of Bishop Heber, in St. Paul's Cathedral: To the Memory of REGINALD HEBER. D.D. Lord Bishop of Calcutta, This Monument was erected by those who loved and admired him. His character exhibited a rare union Of fervent zeal with universal tolerance, t Of brilliant talent with sober judgment And was especially distinguished by Christian humility. Which no applause could disturb, no success abate. He cheerfully resigned prospects of eminence at home, In order to become The chief Missionary of Christianity in the East; And having in the short space of three years, visited the greater part of India. Ana conciliated the affection and veneration Of men of every class of religion; He was then summoned to receive the reward of his labours, In the XLIII. year of his age, MDCCCXXVI. Thou art gone to the grave; but we will not deplore thee, Though sorrow and darkness encompass the tomb; The Saviour has passed through its portals before thee, And the lamp of His love is thy guide through the gloom. Thou art gone to the grave j but 'twere vain to deplore thee, When God was thy Ransom, thy Gnardian, thy Guide; He gave thee, He took thee, and He shall restore thee And Death hath BO sting since the Saviour hath died.

FASHIONS FOR OCTOBER. (Ffom the London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of Fashion.) Very pretty materials for autumnal dress are the chine and troche silks but plaids,both inpoplins, and gros de Tours, are much in favour. Velvet spencers are again seen with the autnmn toilettes. Generally speaking, skids of dressei are very much ornamented, sotne with bouillons, others with flounces, not only round the bottom, but up the sides of the skirt: short sleeves are "prn both in full dress and en neglige. Open dresses and paletots will be worn this winter, liedirigotes are also fashionable of reps, Icvetltine hroche silks plaid skirts, with velvet spencer or bpdy, are pretty. Gimp trimmings will be worn tllis season on redingotes of silk materials. Apri-' cot colour, striped with green, having two biais descending the redingote in a serpentine form, is one of the lost rtoveltigg. The time has hardly ar- rived for winter shawls-and cloaks; those with hoods, and both large andsmallbernoiu, mantelets, apd derni-inauteauxt are all preparing in new and varied forms. The use of lace to ornament bonnetli is expeoted to increase rather than diminish on the winter coiffures.. Bonnets of satin and reps are'rep'acing' those of crape or lighter material, and iu Paris velvet ories of light and delicate fints have been made mixed with blue, lilac cerises; the form varies but little.

IMPORTANT DESISION;—On the revision of the list for the Tower-Hamlets, Mr Falconer, the revÎs. ing barrister, having been oalled upon to deoide whether the non-payment of the re^iitration shii &'n^ was a disqualiifcation, said, tba{ the questiou bad become one of great importance, arising from Xhe contrary decisions that had-be«n given; he ♦rould, therefore, at the earliest moment, state what his qpinion was., In Mr Elliot's newly-published work, pp. 313, 314, the matter was thus spoken of 7-^ A-t^ieation nas constantty been made whether the neglect or refusal to pay the registration shil- ling prevents a voter from being registered? The proper course appears to be for the overseers to insert (he shilling in the first ratepude after the completion of the registry, in addition to any other sum the-party may be liable to pay; and if it is not n then paid, it may be levied by distress as part of the rate. If not so inserted, it may be doubtful whether it can be recovered at all." He (Mr fal- coner) entirely coincided with what was here laid down; and he also thought if the public were to pay attentiou to-what was suggested, much time and labour would be spared to the parties themselves, and to the public, in the courts of the revising barristers.

FUNERAL OF SIR THOMAS HARDY". On Saturday the remains of thin gallant officer were consigned to their last home in the mausoleum of ilie cetr-etry of the hospital of which he waw for several years the governor. The funeral was in soute respect a public one, and would hnve been ew. (iiieted with much more show, had not Sir Tlios. llardy himself strictly enjoined his executors to use nfJ ostentation or display whatever in hisobspquies. ,Ai eleven o'clock the procession set out from the Council room of Greenwich Hospital in the order mentioned beneath, and proceeded in slow and solemn pomp tothecemetry, the bell or St. A Iphage's church tolling a last farewell- The road leading to thecemetry was crowded with spectators, con- sisting of those pensioners of the hospital who did not form part of the procession, of many of the tradesmen and inhabitants of Greenwich, and of mmy of the old friends ahd companions in arms of the deceased, who had come from considerable dis tances to pay his memory this token of respect and regret. There was a good deal of crowding at the guies of the ceirietrey, but order was excellently prpserved by the police, and indeed the general feelinsjof veneration for the late governor produced a very decorous and praiseworthy behaviour (hroughout the whole crowd assembled. The coffin iri which the remains of Sir Thomas Hardy were conveyed is extremely plain; it is of oak, covered witll black clcilli, and studded with gilt nails; it has no armorial hearings or heraldic escutcheons whatever. The inscription upon it was simply 'this—"Sir Thomas MastCrman Hardy, Bart .G.C.B., Governor of Grfeerfwich Hospital, died ion the 20th of September, 1839, aged ?0 years." It i.s the 92,ird coftin that ham!been piticed in the mausoleum, and now rests immedtatety'above the coffin of the pr.e- dectssor of Sir Thomas Sir R. Keit*. Amongst the1 mourners were Lord Euston, Mr Fitzharding Berkeley, tht- itarn.

The latter wasr a midshiputan -in the Adtion oft botrd the Defenoe. The loss of Sir Thomas Hardy is «J6'ereIy feit almost every j inmate of thfe establtshtnent. He appears, by his attention to the'wants of all under his government, to have rendered himself universally admired and beloved. There were during the funeral many de- monstrations of genuine sorrow for his- death amongif the more humble^ as well as the more elevated companions of his naval career. The service at the mausoleum Was read in an impressive toahner by the Rev. Mr Lloyd, the senior chaplain.

HAIL STORM AT LIVERPOOL. At four o'clock lafet Sunday morning this town was visited, d-'ring a full hoJr,' with one of the moat severe storms of hail, the occurrence of lybich was evfer remembered. The Iwiseof the falling shower was sufficiently loud to awaken from their slumbers the greater port ion of the inhabitants, indeed the din though at periods it was as loud as the blast of a hurricane, rather resembled the bellowing and roaring attendant upon a volcanic eruption or earthquake, than that produced by any other phenomenon or convulsion ot-<oatur,e to which we can compare it. It fortauatety occurs, that the recent fine weather has enable the farnwrg in the neighbourhood to house 110 inconsiderable quantity ef their ctopft. The hail-storm, It isto be feared, has utterly ruined those portions of them which happened to remain uncut and standing in the field.

NEW MODE OF PRODUCING BROUGHT OR MALLEABLE IRON DIRECT FROM THE; ORE. The following article, whloh we extract from the.

It came out, iii auswer to quesjtions put by the magistrates' clerk, that the giuieral ri)les, hut t\^>t the bye-laws, of the tiddxe were eurollefj and couf^rmed, and as the latter onlyc.olltiiioed 311J rule, r)illg to the payment of sick allowance^ the magistrates pould not leUj,4 judicate upon tfie case. Mr Barr said it was right that every one should know the position in wtich this and similar societies stood; for not having the whole of their rules, regularly, enrolled, members might pay in what they pleased, but they could claim nothing from the lodge an return, and they could only receive what the officers chose to pay them. He should re- commend them consolidate their gcnenal rules and bye-laws, and then-apply to John Tidd Pratt, Esq., to tertify theni, JMlltory to enroltneut. The com- plaint was consequently dismissed, and the parties left he court. 5 ROYAL GEOKQ* IRON STEAMKR.—Her length pf deck is WBar'3! '*0 bundled feet; burthen per register, including the space occupied by the ma- chinery three hundred tons, but, in reality, nearly seveu hundred; engine power, two hundred and fifty horses. At piesent she draws five, and when loaded with a hundred tons of goods, the draught will not exceed seven feet of wafer. With the ex. ception of deck, bulwarks, paddle-boxes-, rose-wood lining of tbe prihclbsl cbtn., IEc., the entire frame- work of this beautiful ship ia composed of sheei-irou three-eights of ■ inch in tbickneap. and strongly rivetted inside by bars or fastenings, which take the idiagonal form, strongest pf all. The extreme from stem "to stern is divided into five CGllt- partmpms, and the largest is not so much the hold, which can be dealt with as is de tned most expedient, as the gap filled with a double engine, furnaces, cylinders, and the other appurtenances that tnauu- facture the propelling powers Should a hole, there- fore, be stove in the vessel's side by collision with a rock or any other body, water can obly rush into the compartment to the extent of a friof, or, possibly, less, and so lodj» as the other remains perfectly dry, sufficient buoyance remains to enable the crew to apply tie pump and repair the leak.

AT SpijH^p.—Colonel Pasley has "at length succeeded iu .firing off oike.of bi enormon^ sob-marine mines of gunpowder against the wreck of the lloy1 George, at Spiihead. On Monday week, a cylinder, cQU,tajn^jg 232()lb#. of powder, was care- fully lowered (o. |h^ bottoii, where it was placed atoitsraide the wost epmpact portion of the wreck. When everything was ready. f)e vessel in which the voltaic battery was placed was drawn off to the dis. tance of 500 feet, which is the length of the con. necting wires, and instantaneously 011 the circuit being completed tbe, eplosioll took place. At ftrllt the surftce of the sea, before perfectly smooth, was violently agitated by a tremulous motion, which threw it into small irregular waves, a few inches only in height. This lasted for. three or four -n,is, when a huge dome of water made its appear. ance, of a conicalor rather beehive shape. At first it appeared to rive'slowly, bdi rapidly Increased in height and size till it reached the altitude of twenty, eight or thirty feet, in a tolerably compact nlass. It then fell and produceda series of rings, which spread in all directions. Since the explosion, the divers have been constantly employed in ascertaining the result. It appears that the whole of the wreek, aboVe the surface of the mud and band, has been materially displaced. Numerous large I pieces are daHy hove np by the divers placingVopes round the pads already loosened. Two large gons were! raised—one being a M pounder (iron); and the o:ber a brass gdh, 24-pounder—the former being its; secure in the gun-carriage as the day it wai placed, there. The capstan of the Royal George, as well as, the.wooden tiller, have been brought on shore, both; of wbich. appear to be in good preservation. The) mainmast was picked tip by the pilot bf the look-otiti vessel belougmg to tii^Netherlahdd Consul, mooredj at Spitbead, who conveyed it to the dockyard at Portsmouth. It has a most extraordinary appear-! an^e, and has excited very great enrrosity. Ir isj entirely covered with barnaole1*, all alive,'some mea-j suring' inches in length. We learn that Colonel Pasley iiitend« persevering in tottally r £ frio?ing the| remains of this ship, although Jbe greater part of one side is we understand completely buried in thet sand and mud.
