Poetry. TIME AND LOVE. BY THE AUTHOR OF SeC. Poets tell us, that Time hath wings; And I think 'tis true, I think 'tis true He is one of the fleetest feathered things That ever flew, that ever flew! For have 1 not loved? and have 1 not felt How love's sweet hours to moments melt ? And swift with delight, Is day in its flight, And we chide the dawn that chases the night. Now when hath Time these rapid wings ?—• Now when doth Time thm swiftly fly ? I hear a bird that sweetly sings, And to my soul glad answer brings, When those we love are nigh Oh Time hath crutches as well as wings! And oft no creeping thing except: lie is one of the slowest creeping things That ever crept! that ever crept For have I not loved. yet day by day, Felt moments creep like ages away? And over my head, With feet of lead. Coldly, darkly, heavily tread 1 Now when doth Time thus lose his wings 1— Now when goes Time thus crawling on ? With other voice the sweet bird sings, And to my soul sad answer brings, • 1Vhen those we love are qone Wade') London Review. DREAM, As heavy sleep Hung on my dew-bathed eyelids, visions played About my waking fancy, and I saw The clouds roll back, that clad the eastern skies, Revealing Heaven in it's all-gorgeous pomp- Such pomp as may not be with aught on earth Justly compared,-The glittering steps that led To it's high gate of flaming carbuncle, Were each a radiant gem, that emerald light And ruby beams, and diamond fires shot forth- And lovely crpatures of embodied flame, With star-bright eyes, and rainbow-tinted plumes, Whose heavenly beauty shed around them rings Of-never dying glory, still were seen Ascending and descending those bright steps, The messengers to parth of peace and love. But there appeared above them One, who far Surpassed in majesty those shapes of light, E en as the sun the glow-worm's lamp outshines. It was tho Omnipotent th' Unutterable Whom my faint eyes could not behold, or bear On th' insufferable refulgency to gaze That burned around him 'Neath his feet appeared Th' unfading flowers of Paradise, commixed With sunset splendours that for ever blaze With glory unspeakable Before that Mighty One, I fearful sank In lowly adoration when His voice Came i; a flood of music on mine ears, Saying-" 1 am the God of Abraham." v

I'm sure we should he the happiest couple alive, only YOI1 do so like to have all the talk to yourself. We're out upon pleasure, and therefore let's be comfortable. Still, 1 must say. it: when you like, you're an aggravating man, Caudle, and you know it What have you done now ? There. now we wont talk of it. No; let's go to sleep otherwise, we shall quanel-I know we shall..W1111t have you rlone, indeed ?

It's a heart-breaking thing for a woman to say of her own husband hut you've been a wicked man to me, Yes and all your tossing and tumbling about in the bed won't mak., it any better. Oh, it's easy enough to call a woman dear sou! 1 must be very dear, indeed, to you. when you hring down Miss Pretty- man to-therf> now you needn't shout like a wild savage Do yon know that you're not in your own house-do you know that we're in lodgings ? What do you suppose the people will think of us ? You nepr1n't call out in that manner, for they can hear every word that's said. What do you say 1 Why don't hold my tongue then ? To he sure anything for an excuse with you. Anything to stop my mouth, Miss Prettyman's to follow you here, and I'm to say nothing. I know she has followed you; and if you were to go before a magistrate, and take a shilling oath to the contrary, I wouldn't believe you. No Caudle I wouldn't. TTery well, then ? ITa! what a heart you must have, to My very well;' and after the wife I've been to you, I'm to be brought from my own home-dragged down here to the sea- side—to he laughpd at before the tell me Do you think I didn't see how she looked at you-how she puckered up her farthing mouth—and—what ? Why did 1 kiss her then ? th8.t to rIo with it! Appearances are one thing, 1\lr. Caudle; and feelings are another. As if women can't kiss one another without meaning anything by it! And you-I could sce you-looked as cold and as fonnal at hpr as-well, Caudle I, be the hypocrite you are for the world! There, now I've heard all that story. I dare say she did come down to join her brother. How very lucky, though, that yon should he here, Ha! ha! how very lucky that—ugh ugh! ugh and with the cough I've got upon me-oh, you've a Iwart like a sea-side flint! Yes, that's right.

Miss Prettyman's foot, now, would be another thing—no doubt, I thought when you would make me leave home-I thought we were coming here on pleasure; but it's always the way you embitter my life, The sooner that I'm out of the worLl, the better. What do you say ? Nothing 7 But I know what you mean, hetter than if you talked an hour. I only hope you'll get a better wife, that's all, Mr. Caudle. What? You'd not try? you ? I know you. In six months you'd fill up my place; yes, and dreadfully mr dear children would suffer for it, Caudle, if you roar in that way, the people will give us warn- ing to-morrow.

Well, rou are a dear soul, Caudle; anù if it wasn't for that Miss Prettyman—no, I am not torturing you, I know very well what I am doing, and I wouldn't torture you for the world; but you don't know what the feelings of a wife are,. Caudle; you don't. Caudle—I sar, Caudle. Just a word, dear. Weill Now, why should yon snap me up in that way. You want to go to sleep 1 So do I; hut that's no reason you should speak to me in that manner. You know. dear, you once promised to take mp to France. You don't recollect it ? like you; yon don't recollect many" things you've promised me; but 1 do. There's a boat goes on Wednesday for Boulogne, and comes back the day afterwards. What of it ? Why, for that time we could leave the children with the girls, and go nicely. Non8ense? Of course if 1 want anything it's always nonsense. Other men can take their wives half over the world; but you think it quitp enough to bring me down here to this hole of a place, where I know every pebble on the beach like an old acquaint- ance-where there's nothing to bp seen but the same machines -the same jetty—the same donkeys—the same everything. But then, I'd forgot; Margate has an attraction for you-Miss Prettyman's hare. No; I'm not censorious, and 1 wouldn't backbite an angel; but the way in which that young woman walks the sands at all hours—there there !-I've done I can't open my lips about that creature, but you always stonn, You know that 1 always wanted to go to France amI YOU bring me down here only on purpose that I should see the French Cliffs—just to tantalise me, and for nothing else. If I'd remained at home -and it was against my will I ever came here —I should never have thought of France but,—to have it staring in one's face all day. and not to be allowed to go it's worse than crupI. Mr. Caudle-its brutal. Other people can take their wives to Paris; but you always keep me moped up at home. And what for ? Why, that I may know nothing—yes just on purpose to make me look little, and for nothing else. Hea1;en bias the woman Ha you've good reason to say that, Mr. Caudle for I'm sure she's little blessed by you. She's bcen kept a prisoner all her life--has never gone anywhere-oh yes! that's your old excusc,-talking of the children. I want to go to France, and I should like to know what the children have to do with it ? They are not babies 1Ww-are they ? But you've always thrown the chilùren in my face. If Miss Pretty- man-there now do you hear what you've done-shouting in that manner ? The other lodgers are knocking overhead who do vou think will have the face to look at 'em to-morrow morn- ing 1 people's rest in that way Well, Caudle—I declare i'ts getting daylight, and what an obstinate man you are !-tell me, shall 1 go to France? I forget," says Caudle, "my precise answer; but I think 1 gave her a very wide permission to go somewhere-whereupon. though not without remonstrance as to the place-she went to sleep,-Punch,

THE MUSIC THAT GOD LovEs,-God is pleased with no music from below so much as in the thanksgiving songs of relieved "widows, of supported orphans, of rejoicing and comforted and thankful persons.—Jeremy Taylor. A YANKEE VERDfcT,-The Wyoming Republican says-A suit was brought in our village last week for the collection of a note payable when Henry Clay was elected President. The Jury found, first. that the defendant should pay the Jury fees; second, that the defendant should pay the plaintiff ten dollars; third, that the defendant should kick the plaintiff out of the Court- room. ECONOMY IN THE POOR. This economy, is in all cases the more to be urged, because the difference in comforts the same families, at the same expense, well or ill-conducfed, is greater often than that of different families at different expenses. There is more difference, comparatively, in the mode of living from economy than from income; the deficiency from mcome may possibly be made up by increase of work or wages but the want of economy is irremediable, and the least income will undoubtedly do more wIth It than the greatest without it. No master can, in the first place, afford wages—next, no overseer can make allowances—lastly, no magistrate can order relief enough -on any calculation but that of their bein" severally- well managed. If the poor do not prudently 8erye themselves, none can effectively assist them; If they are not their own friends, none can effectively befriend them: the, idle in pro- curing, or the wasteful m usmg, the means of subsistence, have neither that supply which is alone due, and can be alone afforded, to the honest, industrious, and prudent. It highly, then. interests all conversant with the poor, who ought to be literally all, and it is hoped are most, to consult and co-operate with them in the practice of economy; it is far more useful to teach them to spend less, or to save a little, than t<1 giye them much ¡nort' -A111U1l, of 4griçwltwr"

;ft1íøttUanrottø. It is generally reported that the Earl of Lonsdale will retire from the office of Postmaster-General immediately after the prorogation of Parliament. Two Roman Catholics have been fined, at Glasgow, for a fierce assault on a Sheriffs-officer, and a boy who ac- companied him, because the man was carrying a nosegay in which were some orange lilies! A few days ago one of the Earl of Lonsdale's game- keepers shot a young woodcock about half grown, in Melkinthorpe Woods, near Lowther, and saw several young ones about the same age and size. The very interesting planet Saturn is now favourably situated for observation it rises during the coming week between g and 9 p.m., and will be due south about an hour after midnight. Saturn is nearly a thousand times as large as our own globe. Lieutenant-Phillpotts, of H.M.S. Hazard, whose con- duct during the unhappy conflict in New Zealand is the theme of universal praise, is the son of the Lord Bishop of Exeter. The total number of letters delivered in the United Kingdom in the year 1844 was 242 millions, which is an increase of nearly 22 millions on the previous year. The number before the reduction of the rate was 75 millions. ADMISSION OF ATTORNEYS.—The names of gentlemen who intend to apply for admission as attorneys of Her Majesty's Court of Queen's Bench, in next Michaelmas Term, amount to 179, of whom six are added to the list pursuant to Judge's order. WILLIAM AND MARX.—There is now residing in Ison- green, Nottingham, a young man, whose great great- grandfather, great-grandfather, grandfather, father, and himself, were all christened William, and who each mar- ried a wife named Mary. Query, addressed to those members of the Church of England, and especially to the Bishops, who voted in favour of the Maynooth Endowment Bill:—What is the difference between holding Roman doctrine, but not teaching it; ant^not holding Roman doctrine, but voting money to enable others to teach it?—English Churchman. The accounts from New Zealand have created dismay in Scotland; where a great portion of the colonists have friends and relations. Petitions for enquiry into the causes of the disorders have been extensively signed both in Edinburgh and Glasgow the Chief Magistrate of each place heading the signatures. The prospects of the harvest all over the country continue to he encouraging. In England the accounts give promise of an abundant grain-harvest, and the hay- crops are generally heavy. In Scotland, although the process of ripening proceeds somewhat tardily, the pros- pects are good, and the hay has been well got in. The crops in Ireland also promise great abundance. In a Committee of Privileges on Thursday week, the Peers decided that Lord Dunsandale had established his right to vote in the election of Representative Peers for Ireland; and that Mr. Kemeys Tynte and Mr. Cochrane had made out their claims as descendants of the co- heiresses in whom the Wharton Peerage fell into abeyance. INCREASED PRICE OF LONDON NEWSPAPERS.—The proprietors of the London papers are contemplating the increase of the price of their papers to sixpence, owing to the increased expenses of their enlarged papers and occa- sional supplements and we hear that all but one have agreed as to the fairness and good policy of the measure. The Earl of Galloway inaddressinghistenantry lately, touched upon various topics, and, among others, on the game laws. He earnestly desired the tenants to assist in preserving the game, but intimated his intention to allow full liberty for the destruction of rabbits and coursing of hares. MONUMENT TO SiR WILLIAM FOLLETT.—The com- mittee for raising a statue of our late representative has been formed, and comprises the Lord High Chancellor, Sir Robert Peel, the Earl of Devon. Lords Brougham, Denman, Langdale, and Campbell, and all the leading men of the Cabinet, the bench, and the bar.—Exeter Gazette. DISSOLUTION OF THE STONE.—A dissertation was read at the Medico-Physical Academia of Florence by Dr. Francesco Cervalleri, Professor of Anatomy and Surgery at Naples, the object of which was to show that calculi in the human bladder could be solved by an electro-chemical process. The professor himself, we believe, claims the merit of the discovery. A Vienna letter in the Observer of the Rhine, bee the following:—" On the 8th instant, the Archduke Fiancis, son of the Archduke Francis Charles, heir presumptive of the Crown, gave a specimen of his talent in natation by swimming across the large arm of the Danube in presence of an immense crowd of spectators. The Prince is only 15 years of age." A witness in the Crown Court, on Monday, twice gravely told one of the counsel for the prosecution, in a case of cattle stealing, that he could not identify the prisoner at the bar as the person of whom he bought the heifer at Beverley fair, as he could not see him distinctly when he made the purchase, "because it rained so fast. York- shire Gazette. THE COST OF PULLING A MAN'S NOSE.—John Her- bert, of Hawsker, farmer, was brought before the bench of magistrates, at Whitby, on Tuesday last, and fined £ 3 for pulling the most prominent part of the face of Mr. William Thompson, a neighbouring farmer, in rather an unceremonious manner.— Yorkshireman. Mr. Edward Bolton Clive, M.P., expired on Tuesday week, at an early hour, at his son's seat near Croydon. He was a Whig in politics, and had for a long series of years represented the city of Hereford, for which place a vacancy will be of course created. Mr. Seymour Fitz- gerald is a candidate for the representation of the place on the Conservative interest. The Whig-Radicals have in- duced Sir Robert Price, who formerly represented the county, to be their champion on the present occasion. A CONCLUSIVE REASON AGAINST A RAILWAY.—In the House of Lords Committee on the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, Lord Redesdale was ex- amined on Thursday week, on behalf of the parties against the line. His lordship's reason against it was, that it would go through a fox-huntingcountry, and would, in con- sequence, inconvenience sportsmen There are at present in the farm yard, at Chatsworth, under the management of Mr. Swaffing, the farm agent of the Duke of Devonshire, in that district, two bullocks most remarkable both for their size and symmetry, which are intended for the annual sale at Christmas. One of them, a beautiful small-boned creature, at present weighs upwards of 130 stones; whilst another, less symmetrical, but of more ponderous elephantine proportion, stands nearly 1 H hands high.—Derby Mercury. The Birmingham Old Gas Company has given notice that from the 1st of the present month the price of gas to consumers, under 5000 cubic feet per quarter, will be 6s. 8d. per 1000 to those consuming upwards of 5000 and under 25,000 cubic feet per quarter, 5s. 8d.; and to consumers above that quantity, 4s. 6d. per 1000 cubic feet. Meters supplied gratis and kept in repair. AN OLD WATCH.—Mr. Joseph Andrews, hatter, Mansfield, has now in his possession a watch which has been in his family for nearly two hundred years. It was made early in the reign of Charles the II, and bears date 1650. The present owner's grandfather wore the watch 70 years, and it is now in good condition and keeps time exceedingly well.—Nottingham Journal. A swallow was shot the other day at Salterhebble, near Halifax, and upon examining the little bird a small piece of parchment was found tied to one of its legs the parch- ment is about one inch-and-a-half in length, and an eighth- ofan-inchwide: upon one side is written, "J. Rovina y Clavi;" andunon the reverse, "Barcelona, 10th of March, 1845.Halifax Guardian. ADULTERATED CONFECTIONS.—A printed statement has been issued by the United Association of Journeyman Confectioners, stating that a substance called" mineral white"—which is simply plaster of Paris or stucco—is largely used in the manufacture of confections, and that the working-men have come to the resolution of exerting their power to put an end to this sort of adulteration. The component parts of the adulterated lozenges are 121bs. of plaster of Paris, 12lbs. of starch, and 12lbs of sugar-a pretty mess on which to exercise the digestive organs of tender stomachs. Some of the elder brethren of the Trinity Board, on Saturday, put down an iron tube of two feet six inches in diameter'into that part of the Goodwin Sands which is most dangerous, as a preliminary to the erection of a lighthouse thereon. It is on the Calipers, and at a short distance from a hank, which forms a steep declivity in the depth of ten fathoms. The tube descended iwenty-two feet into the sand in an astonishingly short time, by the application of Dr. Pott's process, in which atmospheric pressure is the principal agent. A FREAK OF FORTUNE.—James Steward, a poor man by trade a carpenter, residing in Somerstown, who has been for some time in great distress from want of em- ployment, last week received the pleasing intelligence that he had become the possessor of a large fortune by the death of a brother in India, who had there amassed considerable wealth. His wife was actually on the way to pledge an article for food, when the letter arrived, bearing the welcome news that he was the owner of £ 15,000.—Sun. CARDIGAN—There is not a single debtor at present confined in Cardigan Gaol.—An old woman in a fit of intoxication fell into the tire about 20days ago at Cardi- gan, and died on Saturday week, in consequence. An inquest was called by P.C. Scott, and a verdict returned that the woman was burned to death. No coroner was present.—It has been decided by the Poor Law Commis- sioners that the election of parish officers by ballot in an open vestry is illegal. MONSIEUR TalERS ON SLAVE EMANCIPATION.—"Far be it from us to treat such a sight with contempt! for these Siefs (Toussaint, Sonnerture, Dessalines, and Christophe) uming the authority to force their fellows to work, even tor their exclusive advantage those blacks submitting to it without any great profit to themselves, compensated solely by the idea that they were free, excite in us more esteem than the spectacle of the idleness, profligacy, and moral debasement exhibited by the negroes left to them- selves in the recently enfranchised colonies of England, where premature emancipation has proved a total failure!" -History of the Consulate and the Empire, Vol., iv., page 93, Colburn's authorised edition. MALLEABLE GLASS.—The Segusian M ercllry states that a most marvellous discovery has been made at St. Etienne, of rendering glass as malleable when cold as when first drawn from the pot. This substance, which is called silicon, combines with various substances producing the most brilliant colours, and can also be obtained opaque or transparent as chrystal. Its specific gravity is2,85, water being 1 00 It is very ductile and malleable, and neither air nor acids act upon it. The idea of discovering malleable glass is only ranked second to that of the philosopher's stone among alchemists, and the latter wtll doubtless be the next discovery maue, for the one is lis probable as the other. At the King's County Assizes, last week, Edward Day was tried for soliciting William Butler to murder a Mr. Duffy, of Banagher. The accused threw himself on the mercy of the Court. From the evidence it appeared, that he tempted Butler to shoot Duffy by an offer of four pounds for committing the crime: what the eirnity to- wards Duffy sprung from did not transpire. The man was found guilty and the next day sentence of death was recorded. CURIOUS FACT.—Yesterday se'nnight a field of wheat, the property of Mr. Lee, of Pottles-farm, Exminster, Devon, was reaped, yielding an average crop. Last year the field was sown with wheat, afterwards with turnips, and this year no seed-wheat has been sown, nor has any labour been bestowed upon it; consequently the wheat now produced must have been from what fell from the ears last year.— Exeter Flying Post. ARRIVAL OF THE KING OF THE NETHERLANDS.—His Majesty the King of the Netherlands, accompanied by a limited suite, landed at Woolwich at two o'clock on Thursday week, in the Dutch Government steamer Cyclops. His Majesty was received by the Earl of Had- dington, First Lord of the Admiralty Baron Dedel, his Majesty's Minister; Lieut. Gen. Lord Bloomfield, and other officers of the garrison; by Earl Moreton and the Hon. Captain Alexander Hood, appointed to attend the King during his sojourn in this conntry; and by a guard of honour of the Royal Marines. His Majesty proceeded by a special train to Gosport, and was received at Ports- mouth by His Royal Highness Prince Albert, who sailed over from the Isle of Wight to meet His Majesty. The Kino- and Prince Albert shortly after lett for Cowes in the Fairy yacht, and arrived at the place of their destina. tion soon after five o clock. THE NEW CONSERVATIVE Cu;n, ST. JAMES'S.—The drawing-rooms of this much admired structure are being gilded and decoratcd in a most costly manner; indeed so extensive are the works intended to be cairied out that the apartments will not be opened to the members this season. The club has recently been viewed by several hundred persons, including most of the nobility and gentry of both great parties. We may mention the names of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Piince George of Cambridge, his Grace the Commander in Chief, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, the members of the late and present ministries, &c. A man has been killed in Kilkenny county by two thieves, for threatening to prosecute them. On the night of the ninth July, two men named John and James Cleary went to the house of Patrick Dumphy, a farmer, living at Rahatd, within two miles of Mullinavat, and were in the act of stealing his pigg when Dumphy heard them. He went out and told them he would pro- secute them upon which the two Clearys attacked and beat him in so unmerciful a manner that he died on the 15th. Next day, the two Clearys were arrested in Waterford where they were concealed for the purpose of escaping to America. The Hon. Captain Thomas Thurlow, brother of Lord Thurlow, having recently purchased an estate at Elmswell, a portion of it has been divided into 28 allotments for the labourers, which were taken possession of in the beginning of last month, and in three weeks were conver- ted from a wilderness into a garden, with a prospect of a good crop of potatoes, each man having been liberally supplied with manure by the same kind hands. On Thursday evening last, a supper was given to the allot- ment holders and their friends, to the number of 40, who expressed their warmest gratitude for the boon conferred upon them. and departed happy and contented before 11 o'clock.—Bury Post. PREVENTION OF CRIME.—Lord Denman, in his charge to the Worcestershire Grand Jury, made the following excellent remarks :—" It is not the punishment of men for crime that is the most effectual means of preventing it. We ought to remove its cause by attending to the wants of those in the humble ranks of life, and by pro- viding them with a useful and religious education, giving a higher moral tone and worthier aspirations to their minds and actions, thus elevate them from the degraded: position in which unfortunately too many of them now are. The desire and endeavour to benefit the people, and thus prevent crime which has been too long neglected, ought to actuate those placed in affluence and authority, instead of a total carelessness about the cause, and an over anxiety to punish the criminal—banish him from his family and friends, and consign him to the contaminating influences of a gaol. Our true duty is to prevent and not to punish. IRELAND.—A "grand demonstration," in favour of Repeal, took place at Wexford. on Wednesday week. Mr. O'C onnell's progress from Dublin to the IOCllS in quo was one scene of triumphal rejoicing." At Wexford, the crowd extended over a distance of five miles, and no less than 60,000 persons participated in the great meeting, which was held in a field hard by the town. I Mr. Talbot, an ex-Justice of the Peace, took the chair; and several resolutions were passed by acclamation in favour of the "Repeal." Mr. O'Connell held forth in his usual manner, mingling a vast deal of flowery ora- tory with earnest exhortations to both parties,O rangemen and Catholics, to combine in favour of the great cause of Repeal. A dinner was given in the evening, at which the arch-agitator favoured the company with a fresh out- burst of eloquence, and gave a significant "Notice to quit" to Sir T. Esmonde, Capt. Hatton, and Mr. Gore, the members for Wexford and New Ross. As to Mr. J. Power, the other county Member, Mr. O'Connell de- clared that he must turn out unless he immediately joined Conciliation Hall. The proceedings passed off without the slightest disturbance.

SOUTH WALES RAILWAY.—MONMOUTH AND HEREFORD RAILWAY. THURSDAY, July 24th.—The Committee appointed hy the House of Lords to consider these Bills met this day for the first time in the Rolls' Court. Peers present— Lord Portraan (chairman), the Duke of Norfolk, the Marquis of Westminster, the Earl of Roden, and Lord Leigh. The promoters of both Bills were represented by Mr. Austin, Mr. Talbot, Sir T. Phillips, and Mr. Benson. Mr. Wilkins and Mr. Merrewether, supported the case of Sir Richard Bulkeley Phillipps, M.P. for Haverfordwest. Mr. Talbot opened the case for the promoters. The preamble of the Bill set out that it was proposed to make a line from Fishguard and Pembroke Docks to Chepstow. in the county of Monmouth, thence to be continued by a branch railway to Monmouth. He (Mr. Talbot) need not inform their Lordships, that a more important line than this bad not been considered in the course of the present 1 session. It was supererogatory to observe that the railway passed through a large tract of country at present unoc- cupied by any other, a country, too, which had to recom- 1 mend it a commercial intercourse of no common character. He believed that the best introduction of this case would ] be to read to their Lordships some portions of the report 1 of the board of trade on the subject. That report was 1 made at considerable length, and it was, perhaps, as well at the outset to state that it then had reference to a larger < scheme than their lordships had to consider. The scheme at that period referred to a Bill connecting the whole of 1 South Wales with the town of Gloucester by Chepstow. But it must be home in mind, that though one part of that ] connection was severed at present, they would be enabled, in the next session of Parliament, to renew their applica- tion. But to the report of the Board of Trade. They stated, first, that the South Wales and Monmouth and Hereford Railways form, together, a comprehensivescheme tor extending railway communications in connection with the existing Great Western Railway, west of the Severn to Herefordshire, Monmouthshire, and along the whole course of South Wales to Pembroke and Fishguard; and after giving the respective length of lines, and referring to the map—after stating that they were proposed to be carried out in conjunction with the Great Western system, they spoke of the gradients. On this subject the report said that the gradients of both lines are in parts very severe, hut not impracticable, and there is reason to believe that better gradients could not have been obtained without incurring an expense which, under the circumstances, would have been very undesirable. The works for the greater portion of the South Wales line are light; and, upon the whole, the linl's present no extraordinary engi- neering difficulties. Then, after expressing generally the importance of the lines to the respective districts. it stated that the towns of Monmouth, Newport, Cardiff, Neath, Swansea, Llanelly, Carmarthen, Pembroke, and Mdtord Haven, the whole of the great mineral districts of South Wales, and the counties of Hereford, Monmouth, Glamor- gan, Carmarthen and Pembroke, will all participate directly in the advantages alfoided by this improved communica- tion; and that the south of Ireland—and this was an im- portant point, and he particularly requested their Lordships' attention to it—that the South of Ireland also, to the whole of which the South Wales line will atford the shortest communication to London, Bristol, and the South of England, will also participate in the benefits of the un- dertaking and the advantage in a national point of view of a line which covers such a great extent of-coast, and affords a ready communication with the dock-yard of Pembroke, and with the station at Milford Haven is also considerable. He (Mr. Talbot) was not much in the habit of passing any encomium on the Board of Trade, but in this instance he thought they deserved it. Of the 832 landowners on the line there were but 85 dissentients, and a similar difference was observed in respect of the mileage. He would now call their attention to the impor- tance of the several affected towns in detail, and first he would refer their Lordships to the town of Chepstow. It was the market town of an important agricultural district country, connecting the vallies of the Usk and the Llanrlalf-and the utmost facilities of tlvse districts were brought into play by the contemplated railway. The town of Newport also was the centre of a great coal & iron trade, and in the same way as John Frost and Co. precipitated themselves on Newport some years ago, so was the iron traffic precipitated on the same town now. (Laughter.) Then it also supplied a market for the large and fertile districts of Glamorgan and Carmarthen. With regard V Cardiff, it was in precise) v a similar position, and their Lordships were probably aware that a large stimulus had been given to the trade of that town by the enterprise ot a patriotic individual of their Lordships' House. The Learned Counsel then referred to the peculiar advantages which would be given to the towns of Neath, Bridgend, Swansea, and Llanelly, as well as the minor towns on the route. The mineral trade in the district was tmmcnse, not less than JE9,000,000 sterling per annum. There was but one opponent, Sir Richard Buikeley Phillipps and after their Lordships had heard the ground on which he sought to confront them in that Committee, he thought that their Lordships would decide that the Hon. Baronet could have no locus standi before them. After some further remarks the Learned Counsel concluded by expressing a hope that their Lordships would pass the preamble of the Bill. Mr. Talbot then called Mr. Benson, who described himself as a magistrate for tbe county of Glamorgan. j Had resided in South Wales for fifteen years. There are large copper works at Cwm Avon, Taihach, and Swansea, The coalowners export an immense quantity of coals, and 30,000 tons of manufactured copper, which would be sent by railroad, if one was constructed which would secure an expeditious transit and save marine insurance. A great trade in tin was carried on at Cwm Avon, and it exists all along the valley. There was a great quantity of coal in Glamorganshire, some of which not yet wrought, would be opened if the proposed line went through the district. There could only be a line along the coast, as the nature of the country would exclude any other. Witness presided at a meeting last year at Swausea, and every one was in favour of it. In cross-examination by Mr. Wiikins, the witness said that coals are at present brought by sea. The carriage would be much cheaper by railroad than by the present mode. The district between Carmarthen and Swansea is nearly level. Colonel Cameron, of Dan y Graig, Swansea, was next called, and his evidence proved that the present water communication was very defective. The proposed line would be of incalculable advantage to the district, and he had advocated some scheme of a similar character for many years. The railway was supported by all the ,in- habitants of the principality. He was the owner 01 a large coal field, and had recently opened another colliery, which at present had no proper outlet to market. He would, if the present railway were constructed, send all his coals to Swansea, so as to be transhipped to London. His pits produced 120,000 tons annually. Mr. Buckland knew the manufactures and trades of South Wales. He had assisted in making up the traffic tables. The trade from Newport was very considerable, not less than between 30,000 and 40,000 tons of iron. The iron and coai annually exported amounted to 000,000 tons, and a very considerable trade was carried on with Ireland. The trade from Cardiff was a) o very consider- able and constantly increasing. The traffic with the district was of a very extended character; and at least two-thirds of the population on the route were in its favour. Mr. Wilkins was shortly heard for the hon. member for Haverfordwest, and the committee, after consulting for a few minutes, found the preamble proved. The committee then took the MONMOUTH AND HEREFORD LINE. Mr. Talbot appeared for the promoters, and Mr. Wordsworth for the Canal Company, which runs parallel with a part of the line. Mr. Talbot briefly opened the case on the part of the promoters, and detailed at length the advantages which would accrue to the districts through which it would pass. Although it was opposed by some landowners, he. appre- hended that it would do them no serious injury. The further hearing of the case was then adjourned until to-morrow, on account of some of the witnesses, owing to the unexpected termination of the former Bill not being in attendance. FRIDAY.—The committee resumed the consideration of this line to-day at the usual hour. Mr. Tennant appeared in support of some objecting landowners, when Mr. Austin, for the promoters, observed that thpy should he fairly compensated. Mr. Brunei, the engineer, was examined as to the utility of the line, and Mr. Saunders, secretary of the Great Western Company, was examined as to the traffic, which he said would realise £.t7,7m) 18j. od. The expenses of working were £ 10,10S, which would leave an income ot £28,G61 18s. 511.. a profit of oj per cent. on the cost. The opposition of the landowners having been withdrawn, The Chairman intimated that the Committee had found the preamble proved, and that he should report the deci- sion to the House. The Committee then broke up. SOUTH WALES RAILWAY DILL, AS AMENDED IN COMMITTEE.

RAILWAY SPECULATORS THEIR COURSR WHEN THE EXCHANGES TURN. During the paot year ahollt two millions of Railway Shares have been issued to the public and as all these shares are at a premium, the public consider themselves in very comfortahlp ^h-cumstances. But their prosperity is yet to be increased fore they retire from the market to rest upon thpir gains. To realize now might be all very well; but, after a twelvemonth's experience in speculation, people become exceedingly shrewd, md perhaps a little covetous, and are not to be persuaded to give over till they hive got all that is to be had. The public will ijo on. therefore, till the market has reached its highest point: mil, with all the recent discussions ahout the Bank Charter Act and the foreign exchanges fresh in their recollection, they can easily foresee when that may be looked for; they will then step into the Stock Exchange, give orders for the sate of their Shares, and, with a complacent sense of their large profits and of the knowing way in which these have been achieved, fall back upon i well-earned competency. This is what the public intend to do and nothing can be more satisfactory than such a prospect. It is quite clear, too, that unless the few gentlemen of the Stock Exchange are shrewder than all the public put together, the plan is certain to succeed. In the first place, the public know that a crisis is sure to come 'hey are not slumbering in false security, but have got their ?yes open, and are only waiting their opportunity. They know ivell enough, that while the foreign exchanges continue in our "avour and gold steadilj flows in. prices will continue to rise because men arc not apt to let their gold lie idle, but will either nvest it themselves, or if nervous, lend it out upon interest and jood security to otners who are not so timid. In this state of :hings, therefore, it would be folly for any one to sell the men with money seeking investment must bid over each other's leads, and it would be a pity not to wait and see how far they ivill go. The public, consequently, will keep their eyes upon the weekly returns of the Bank, and when they see that the influx jf bullion lias ceased and an efilux has commenced, then will be :heir time to act, and to act with unanimity. "Under this view, the anticipations of plodding men who *emember the years I8-!(j and 1837, that the community are in langcr, will seem for the most part groundless. Let those who loubt the sagacity of the publie look at the eager practical- ooking faces that throng round the brokers' offices when the Jne o'clock Price-list is stuck up, and they will confess their n-ror. Let them look at the names of the bankers and merchants. lutliorities on currency and banking, who are now deep in Railway Shares, and they will feel it vain to assert that the less- informed persons who occupy the same boat can be in the slightest peril- These gentlemen will know when to realize and sven if there were no Bank returns to refer to, it would be jnough for others to observe and to imitate their movements. There are symptoms, however, that this national retirement from business to ease and luxury is not to be long delayed. The monetary tide has risen already far beyond all experience, ind the ebb must soon be looked for—perhaps indeed it is ilready begun, although the upper current is not yet changed. At all "events, things are at work to bring it about. The wealth in the shape of Railway Scrip with which each man's pocket is stuffed, has led, no doubt, to increased expenditure increased expenditure must lead to increased importations; and increased importations must, unfortunately, be met by increased pay- ments, to which the calls on Foreign Railways will form a disa- greeable addition. To make these payments, sales must be etfected-of manufactured goods if possible but if our foreign friends are not living quite so fast as ourselves, they will not need an over-stock of g")ods, and will prefer to take gold. To get the bank-notes wherewithal to procure the gold, something must be disposed of; goods at a sacrifice, land, houses, Consuls, or, last and dearest, Railway Shares. The man who buys any of these must sell something else to pay for them, (for it must be remembered that gold will no longer be flowing in and seeking investment); and thus, from a nation of buyers we are to become sudllenly converted into a nation of sellers. MOl1ey having come into demand, the fortunate holders of Itailwav Scrip—who have mostly invested every farthing within their reach without laying anything by fur future ca.I:5," which may then begin to get pretty frequent—will decline to borrow at 40 or 50 per cent, instead of 10 or 15, and the hour of realization will have arrived. The only chance against this realization being effected in a gratifying manner, consists in the possibility that the gentlemen of the Stock Exchange, to whom the Shares will he offered for sale, may, when they find that there are whole armies of sellers and no buyers, refuse not only to give the price which the Share-list of the period may indicate, but even to purchase upon any terms. It i..¡ to be feared that the readiness with whichjjthey bid for these securities" at the present moment, arises more from the certainty of being able to dispose of them at a fractional advance the next moment than from any abstract admiration of Railroad Shares in general; and hence that, eager as they seem now to do business at high premiums, they would, if the public were generously to give them the offer of the whole two million shares in one lot, even at a reduced price, ungratefully decline accepting it. In fairneSS, however, it must be borne in mind that there are perhaps not more than a hundred jobbers in the Share-market; ail(j as the purchase at anything like present premiums would require about ten millions sterling —to say nothing of the amount paid up, (and absorbed in Parliamentary expenses ?) which would come at least to about six millions more, or of some eighty millions still to be called for—these gentlemen might not °even if they had the best opinion in the world of the value%f the securitv, be prepared to draw, upon an emergency, for the cash required. If things shall turn out in this way, the public, instead of being independent, will be in a sad position. But it is to be hoped the gentlemen of the Stock Exchange will gene- rously look up their resources and provide for the demand that is coming upon them, Unless there were some probability of their acting in this fashion it would be impossible to account for the calmness with which shrewd and experienced City men daily extend their purchases and therefore there is room for hope. Supposing, however,' this confidence should prove fallacious, and things should take the fatal turn which has been hinted at, there is one consolation which will be open to all involved in the common ruin. Heretofore, when we have been visited by the consequences of over-speculation, the issuing-banks have con- tn \.ed, as fast as the foreign exchanges went down, to counteract the contraction of the currency which would otherwise have taken place, by a proportionate increase in their issues, and thus to defer the inevitable crash, with the certainty of causing it to be more extensive and protracted when it came. The Bank Charter Bill of iast session will now effectually preclude this palliative: when once the exchanges turn and the banking- reserve of the Bank of England is reduced to its lowest point, nothing can theu take place but the inflexible working of the law, under which the paper-circulation of the rountry will con- tract ùay by day in proportion to the gold withdrawn and fro:11 the dull unvarying pressure of this remorseless screw there will be no escape until it has done its work. If under its operation the railway schemes of the past year should fall from their pre- sent premiums, not to a discount but merely to par, about ten millions of wealth of which the public now fancy themselves possessed will have wholly evaporated while, if the shares of the old companies fall only to the point at which they stood this time last year, and from which they have risen not so much on account of increased dividends as from anticipations of wonder- ful effects from amalgamation, &c., an evaporation of about twelve millions more will he found to have taken place. When these events occur, with their long train of bankruptcies, embez- zlements, and suicidt's, the public will not be disposed to permit self-reproach to be added to their other afflictions- the new Rank Charter Act will receive their anathemas, as the cause of all the evil; and by hugging this consolation, many will contrive to pass through the misery that awaits them without even deriving the advantage of the lesson which that misery is ca cil- lated to teach —namely, a consciousness of their own immorality and folly.—Spectator.

CHURCH DISCIPLINE.—The Bishop of London's Church Discipline \('t Repeal, &e., Bill was issued on Friday, by order of the House of Lords. It consists of 14 clauses, and proposes to repeal the Act 3 and 4 Vict. c. 80, hut not so as to affect pending proceedings, or to revive 1 Hen. 7, c. I (an Act "fur Bishops and Parish Priests and other religious Men for dishonest Lives"). The Bill further provides that a Bishop may send any charge against a clerk in holy orders to the Court of appeal of the province, the Judge of which may make orders for expediting suits, &c. Archbishops and Bishops, members of the Privy Council, are proposed to be added loth-judicial com- mittee on all appeals under this Act. The Bishops are empowered by another clause to inhibit any party accused from performing the services of the Church, &c. Suits, however, are to be commenced within three years and not more than one suit is to be instituted in respect of the same ofFence. The act 27 Geo. Ill, c. 4,t, is not to apply- to suits against spiritual persons; but the present Bill is not to interfere with the institution of suits to establish civil rights. This Bill, too, is not to affect any authority of Archbishops and Bishops now exercised personally and without process in Court. THE BISHOP OF DURHAM'S CHARGE. Moiday. the Bishop of Durham delivered his Yisitorial Address to the Cletgy of his diocese, in the Church of St. Mary-le-bow, in the city of Durham. As this ceremony occurs only once in every fourth year, it generally excites considerable interest; and, on the pre- sent occasion, the Church was crowded with the Clergy. The Address, or Charcre, contains little, if any, of those stiiring topics which have recently attracted so much attention in these episcopal discourses. The reason of this may be found in the oponiiiij sentences, where the right reverend prelate congratulates his hearers, that while other dioceses were convulsed with agitations and divisions consequent Ot1 the introduction—the un- necessary, as he continued to think, introduction—of ob. solete usages, the diocese of Durham had been little agitated by an occasion of that sort." In other portions of the kinzdom (continued his lordship) differences on matters in themselves trivial. yet swelled into maunimde by the length into which adverse parties had aone, had called for an expression of their opinions from the hkhpst ecclesias'ical authorities, and threatened the whole Church with tfie fatal consequences of disunion. Here, however, the good sense, and pood feeling of the great majority of the Clergy had rendered ahorive the attempt to uphold customs extremely trivial, and in no place wha'ever had such an estrangement taken place between the minister and his parish- ioners as to call for the interference of the diocesan. Such a satisfactory state of things scarcely imposed the necessity of adverting to the subject at all hut he was anxious to offer a few remarks, in order that he nrght point out the generally mischievous effects which could not hil to flow, in particular, from any extreme opinions on questions connected with dis- puted points of theology. The right rev. prelate then proceeded to remark, that long continued and universal disuse afforded as strong grounds for considering it unnecessary to observe the law, as if a solemn act of the legislature had abolished that law." He reminded his Clergy that the interests of peace and charity, with the acknowledged advantages of union, should be of far greater moment in the eyes of Christian Clergymen than the details of rights and cere- monies, or the minutiae of observances. All, in short, "would do well to bear in mind the sound and practical advice of that consummate lawyer and statesman, as well as uptight man, Sir Thomas More—Jjeges abrogantur consiteludin", g-c." His lordship next deprecated all extreme opinions, all religious controversies, all harsh judgments of those from whom we might differ, and pre-eminently to consult as a sureguide "the infallible pages of Scripture." From neglecting to do this some were to be found who (uncon- sciously, perhaps, to themselves) "claimed the name of Protestant, and yet claimed and practised the very license and exemption from error as much as ever- did the Chureh of Rome, which those Protestants censure for its pretensions to infallibility, and for its defi- ciency of charity. By such proceedings they acted against their principles, which assured to every one the privilege of private judgment, and forbade them to mo- lest any one, or deprive him of any right to which he would otherwise be entitled merely because of any parti- cular mode of interpreting the Scriptures which he might have adopted, or might hereafter adopt." All this is very true—and so generally admitted to be true, that. had it formed no part of the right reverend prelate's address, we doubt whether any one of his auditors would have gone home less wise than he set out. His lordship, however, seems to have thought otherwise, for he repeated it nearly all over again in a subsequent part of the address. What follows is rather more to the purpose. If thoge who gloried in the name of Protestant would attend less to liu-iian theories, and search more diligently into the oracles of Div.ne truth, tirev would there discover how igno- rant and liahle to error all were hv nature-how little it became them to set themsdves up as judges of other men — how great was thp need every one of tiiern had for wa'chfu!- negs kst they should commit the gro-s mistake of refusing indulgence to others, while thev themselves rn ght be mistaken —•ind. above al!. what enlarged, comprehensive, and unfa- thomable love to all their brethren was contained in the pages of inspiration. Never let them forget with what eloquence as well as truth the qualities of that virtue were set forth by the apostle, that though prophecies might fail, and tonMies might cease—though knowledge itself might vanish awa\, yet cha- nty never faileth, that charity whose essence It was to suffer long and be kind, to envy not. which vaunteth not itself nor was puffed liP, which behaved not its If unseemly, which sought not her own, which was not easily provoked, thought no evil, rejoiced not in iniquity, but rejoiced in the truth, and which, in the triple constellation of Christian graces, was pro- nounced to be the greatest of them all. Alluding to the building of Churches, and to the com- parative neglect of this duty by those on whom it more especially devolyes-mill-owners, manufacturers, pro- prietors of mines, &c., who collect large masses of popu- lation in a locality, and, fattening upon their toil, leave them to perish spiritually and morally-the right rev. prelate observed- Deeply it was to he lamented that greater assistance was not given them in the building of new Churches, and the placing of Clergymen, with comfortable houses, by those whose own livings were guaranteed by the very circumstances which placed the masses they had ga'hered together under religious and moral superintendence. Wealth had fliwed on individuals by means of the labourer, whose skill and strength had been employed in extracting mineral treasures from the howels of the earth, or in facilitating the operations of the* manufacturer, improvements in navigation had been contem- poraneously going on; hut it too often happcnc(\.that those who had thus profited by the toil and industry of their country, men had forgotten that it was incumhent upon them to supply them with the means of grace, or to lay before them the hope of fu'urity—to raise them from earth to heaven. They ap- peared not 10 have reflected that the pious designs contem- plaled hy the gcclesiastical Commissioners were intended to be auxiliary to the bounty of individuals-to stimulate them to good, and to rouse them into action by the consciousness Ihat their own interests had bepn so greatly profiled hy a large accession of members who wonld require to he supplied with mental and spiritual food, as well as with that which was the lahnur of their own hands. Towards the conclusion of his address, the Bishop gives his advice to the younger portion of the Clergy, and urges them "to put some restraint upon their affections, and avoid early and improvident marriages." An impro- vident marriage is always to be avoided but an early marriage does not necessarily come under that disqualifi- cation; and certainly a Clergyman cannot marry too early, after he has once entered upon his sacred calling, if he be desirous of becoming useful and influential to the utmost extent. Marriage is his passport into the closets of his flock, & confers upon him a privilege which will enable him in a thousand instances to be their guide, their friend, their adviser, and their comforter. It is a recognised pledge, likewise, of his own propriety of conduct; while it removes the temptation to that clerical philandering which is so ineffably offensive in some of our unmarried fashionable preachers, both in the metropolis and in the provinces. We have seen the pulpit applied to all the uses of a box at the opera, except that the mutual oglin<r is carried on more sanctimoniously. Such ministers of the Gospel (if it be not an abuse of words so to call them) would do well to reflect upon the concluding sen- tence of the Bishop of Durham's address. A Clergyman, however, who was really deserving thc name, would not fail to remember that his respectability, anJ conSe- quently his usefulness, in the profession to which lie had devoted himself must depend on the proper discharge of his sacred obligations—in pure devotion to the high and holy ends of his ministry—in diligence in acquiring knowledge and in an earnest desire, to the best of his judgment, to impart that knowledge to others—in short, in a strict and incessant attention to all those proprieties of conduct which were so becoming to the Christian minister; and above all and beyond all things, in his determination to set forth always as much as in him lay peace and love among all Christian people, and especially amongst those who were or should be commuted to his charge,—Jqhn Bull,
