ffiariutgg, FUTURE STATE.—We are led to the belief of a future state not only by the weaknesses, by the hopes and fears of human nature, but by the noblest and best principles which belong to it, by the love of vir- tue, and by the abhorrence of vice and injustice.— Adam Smith. SOMETHING EXTRA FOR CHRISTMAS DAY.— Some time ago, a young captain of the 36th Regt. broke through the custom cf giving the men in his company something extra" for Christmas day's dinner—a privilege which the other companies en. joyed. On Christmas evening, Paddy Murphy, a private in the regiment, was standing as sentinel in the barrack-gate when the captain entered. Paddy gave him the salute due to a colonel instead of that to a captain. The captain, instead of overlooking Paddy's supposed blunder, stopped and asked him him why he did so; and Paddy replied, "I like to give something extra' for Christmas day." Poor Pat had a week's confinement for his extra, but the captain, at the week's end, rewarded his wit by giv- ing the company something extra" for a new year's dinner. LANGUAGES OF THE UNITED KINGDOM.—It is worthy of remark, that there is no civilised country in which not only so many different dialects prevail, but so many different languages, as in Great Britain. Yorkshire has its peculiar dialect; Lancashire, North- umberland, Cumberland, theirs. The peasant of Wor- cestershire understands not him of Westmoreland, and still less can he of the latter county hold any intelligi- ble communication with the Cockney- In the vicinity of Cambridge, if you talk good English to a labouring man or small farmer, they touch their hats, beg your pardon, and passing on, in evident reluctance to con- tinue the conversation, avow themselves to be no scholars." In Scotland, the dialects, and espe- cially the twangs, are as various as in England. Your native of Aberdeen understands not him of Glasgow: and your Paisly, buddy," learned in politics and cunning at the loom, gapes, stares, and looks unutterable astonishment, when he is addressed by a man of Tweeddale. The Irish are more uniform in their dialect when they do speak English, the thing chiefly remarkable in them being the accent. All this is anomalous; but not so much as the fact we have in the two islands denominated Great Britain and Ireland, five distinct languages cut up into so many dialects that it would be endless to enumerate them. There is the English language properly so called; the Scotch language, and the Gaelic, the Welsh, and the Irish language. JOHNNY DAKBYSHIRE, A PRIMITIVE QUAKER. —■On his way to his regular meeting he had to pass through a toll-bar; and being on Sunday exempt by law from paying at it, it may be supposed that the bar-keeper did not fling open the gate often with the best grace. One Sunday evening however Johnny had from some cause or other, stayed late with his friends after the afternoon meeting. When he had passed through the toll-gate, he gave the usual nod to the keeper, and was passing on; but the man called out to demand the toll, declaring that it was no longer Sunday night, but Monday morning, being past 12 o'clock. Nay, friend, thou art wrong," said Johnny, pulling out his watch see, it yet wants a quarter." No, I tell you," replied the keeper gruffly, it is past 12. Look, there is my clock." Aye, friend, but thy clock, like thyself, doesn't speak the truth. Like its master, it is a little too hasty. I assure thee my watch- is right, for I just now compared it with the steeple-house clock in the town." I tell you," replied the keeper angrily, I've nothing to do with your watch I go by my clock, and there it is." Well, I think thou art too exact with me, my friend." Will you pay me or not," roared the keeper; you go through often enough, in the devil's name, with- out paying." Gently, gently, my friend," replied Johnny; "there is the money; and it's really after 12 o'clock thou says't?" "To be sure." "Well, very well: then for the next 24 hours I can go through again without paying?" "To be sure; everybody knows that." Very well, then, I now bid thee farewell." And with that, Johnny Darby- shire jogged on. The gate-keeper, chuckling at hav- ing at last extorted a double toll from the shrewd Quaker, went to bed, not on that quiet road expecting further disturbance till towards daylight; but, just as he was about to pop into bed, heard some one ride up and cry, "Gate!" Internally cursing the late traveller, he threw on his things and descended to open the gate, when he was astonished to see the Quaker returned. "Thou says't it really is past 12, friend?" "To be sure." Then open the gate; I have occasion to ride back again." The gate flew open, Johnny J )arbyshire trotted back towards the town, and the man', with double curses in his mind, re- turned up stairs. This time he was not so sure of exemption from interruption, for he expected the Quaker would in a while be coming back homewards again. And he was quite right. Just as he was about to put out his candle, there was a cry of Gate!" He descended, and behold, the Quaker once more presented himself. "It really is past 12, thou says't?" "Umph," grunted the follow. "Then. of course, I have nothing more to pay. I would not, however, advise thee to go to bed to-night, for it is so particularly fine, that I propose to enjoy it by riding to and fro here a few hours." The fellow now saw Johnny Darbyshire's full drift, and exclaimed, "Here, for God's sake, sir, take your money back, and let me get a wink of sleep." But Johnny refused to receive the money, observing, "if it was after twelve then the money is justly thine; but I advise thee another time not to be too exact," and with that he rode off.

A MEDICAL LECTURE ON THE RAILWAYMANIA. —Valuable lectures on insanity have been lately de- livered by Dr. Conolly, of Hanwell; but he has omitted to mention one of its most serious forms. We allude to the railway mania; and we hope Dr. Conolly will not be angry if we presume to suggest what he might have said respecting it. The railway mania is a disorder of the wits, principally incidental to those who live by them; but it is by no means unknown among capitalists possessed of less wit than money. The predisposing causes of this disorder are a sanguine and credulous disposition, combined with a strong love of money, and a constitutional dislike to work. Its immediate or exciting cause is usually a tempting advertisement, calculated to inflame these passions it is also largely propagated by the conta- gion of example, or by a species of inoculation, effected by the operation of biting. The first symp- toms of the railway mania are idleness and inattention to business, and a neglect of study: the patient leaving good books to read the newspaper supple- ments. As the disorder progresses the conversation becomes wild and incoherent, and remarkably dis- agreeable to all sane hearers, by running continually on shares, scrip, premiums, and Grand Junctions, so as to resemble nothing but the confused jargon of Capel Court. By degrees, reason is prostrated, and the moral feelings are perverted, so that the sufferer becomes deprived of the power of taking care of him- self, and the perception of what he owes to others. Under these circumstances he writes frantically for shares in lines that are, and always will be imaginary and, to purchase them, throws away all the money he has, and renders himself liable for much more.—He sells out three per cents., mortgages houses and estates, disposes of his business, and commits various other acts of extravagance. At length, his violence having become mischievous he is confined; but, unfortunately, as his disorder is an unrecognised madness his only asylum is the workhouse or the gaol. In the treat- ment of the railway mama, the first thing requisite is early seclusion. If allowed to go about at aU, his hands should be muffled, to prevent him from writ- ing for shares and his mouth gagged, to hinder him from persuading others to commit the same folly. By far the better course, however, is to shut him up as soon as the first symptoms manifest themselves; that is, the moment he begins to talk nonsense about ahareg. With this measure may be combined cold lotions to the head, the shower-bath, and bleeding and blistering, if necessary, as they are very likely to be. Modern science has mitigated the severities that formerly attended the treatment of mania; but if they are serviceable in any form of it, they are likely to be so in this; and if any unfortunate madman ougut to be tied up and flogged, we should say it SISUD CWUIFLL/ TO W* RATFPY mmw,~Pimh

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS._WHAT IS THE AVERAGE ANNUAL DEFICIENCY OF WHEAT REQUIRED FOR THE CON- SUMPTION OF OUR POPULATION? WE have frequently pressed upon Government the desirableness of establishing a system under which correct returns may annually be obtained, of the ex. tent of land cropped with grain, potatoes, &c., throughout the country, and the yield; and most assuredly the position in which we now stand demon- strates not merely the desirableness, but the absolute necessity of adopting such a system. In its absence, however, we possess, through the official return of imports, the means of ascertaining what the average of our wants has hitherto been, and a very short cal- culation proves how easily we may supply those wants ourselves, without having recourse to the assistance derived from foreign lands, tilled by foreign hands whilst vast tracts of our own s)il, and thousands of our own agricultural labourers, are only partially em-- ployed. For the following we are indebted to our able contemporary, The Banker's Circular," and we feel that we cannot too strongly recommend it to the attention of our readers;- u 1?11 aVf'agC an,nual <luantity of foreign and colonial wheat & wheaten-fiour, entered for consumption for the whole kingdom, for the thirty-one years from 1815 to I S4;) inclusive, will be found to be less than 700,000 quarters. This term includes the three great periods of dearth. The country is torn to pieces, split into adverse factions, threatened with revolution, because it cannot raise every year an additional quantity of seven hundred thousand quarters of wheat. There are several counties of England and Ireland, in each of which this additional quantity might be annu illy :) o uce i !)y the slightest effort of the power of Gove-\i »»»,. tAlse up from the sea Victoria County—and it wiii ,Jr' ui ;ed up, and made into rich wheat-land, whether vo I .it the enterprise or not—and that land alone will g ve you an additional million of quarters a year. Store away every year, for a time of need, the surplus which might be attained from this or many other sections of land, and the whole diffi- culty is overcome and you establish the rule of steady and moderate prices not readily to be interrupted, and never to be broken through. Reflect on these faetSy and calculate the operation of the moral, physical, and scien- tific forces that you can bring into plav, and then you will never again dream the child's dream of famine if foraigners do not feed yon. Notwithstanding you have done all in your power to draw capital from the land to strengthen and enrich cotton-lords, and stimulate them to convert their hives of industry into gaming-houses, the produce of the land has increased faster than population. Examine, and you will find the average yearlv quantity of foreign and colonial wheat and wheaten flour entered for consumption in the fifteen years, ending with 184-7, considerably under a million of quarters, which represents: an increased necessity of foreign supply less than the in- creased ratio of the population. Therefore, try to aug- ment your own power of production when foreignaØ threaten to shut up their stores against you when )"(f11 most need them. You are encouraged and bound to do, this when you find that four English counties can give- you, over and above what they want to consume, a quan- tity of wheat every year which far exceeds the aveiage- annual quantity required from abroad. When rightly applied, what a lesson on statesmanship. is this. COKE and WESTHRN, and the drainers and clayers of the fens* were on this question better statesmen than you, who practise the art, who take on yourselves its responsibili- ties, and claim its rewards and honours." Let the organs of the free-traders answer this if they can. But they will not—they DARE NOT-attempt it' Falsehood and fallacies they will propagate by the thou- sand, but as to facing facts—" Oil, no! they never think of it "-Farnier's Journal.
