[ORIGINAL POETRY FOR THE Guardian.] SONNET To a beautiful Wall Flower growing on the Old Castle, Cardiff. Sweet, simple plant with softening grace, This lonely ruin, ivy-clad, With clinging fondness to embrace. And beautify than seemest glad Here, where of old the trophies Ilung, Of clamorous chase or bloody war, The horn, the shield, the helm that rung t With clash of scimitar; Thou seemest now to smile in scorn Of human greatness, human pride, .rr And tell the rich, the nobly born, To what they are allied; j Bloom on meek flowrct, gaily bloom O'er grandeur's mouldering moss-grown tomb.

LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF MARTIN CHUZZLEWIT. Those, and they are not a few, who predicted the failure of Boz in his future works of fiction, will be agreeably surprised at the rich, the inimitable humour of the present number. Gibbon became lacrymose, and whimpered when he had finished his "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire," because he had no more history to write. Our droll friend Boz has no idea of such softness. He laughs throughout Ms work, makes his reader laugh with him, too, exhausts old worlds of fiction, and then imagines new, with all the buoyancy and hilarity of the first sprightly runnings of his teeming muse and at the end we find him the same caustic, humorous, good-natured soul that first won upon the world, and set it laughing. If the following delicious morsel will not go. down with our readers, we shall have each and every one of them brained with my lady's fan THE SCHOOL-MASTER AT HO.NIE-li MRS. TODGERS'S BOARDING-HOUSE. Mr. Pecksniff had followed his younger friends up-stairs, and taken a chair at the side of Mrs. Todgers. He had also spilt a cup of coffee over his legs without appearing to be aware of the circumstance nor did he seem to know that there was muffin on his knee. And how have they used you down-stairs, sir V asked the hostess. 44 Their conduct has been such, my dear madam," said Mr. Pecksniff, as I can never think of without emotion, or remember without a tear. Oh, Mrs. Todgers!" 4tMy goodness!" exclaimed that lady. "How low you are in your spirits, sir!" "I am a man, my dear madam," said Mr. Pecksniff, shedding tears, and speaking with an imperfect articulation, "but I am also a father. I am also a widower. My feelings, MrSi Todgers, will not consent to be entirely smothered, like the young children in the Tower. They are grown up, and. .the raore-Ipress the bolster on them, the more they look round the corner of it." ,1re suddenly became conscious of the bit of muffin, and stared at it intently, shaking his head the while, in a forlorn and imbecile manner, as if he regarded it as his evil genius, 'â:úcl mildly reproached it. She was beautiful, Mrs. Todgers," he said, turning his glased eye again upon her, without the least preliminary -iI "She had a small property." 44 So- r have heard," cried Mrs. Todgers, with great u Those are her daughters," said Mr. Pecksniff, pointing Out the young ladies with increased emotion. *2Hrs.

When theysay they havn't improved, ma'am," whis- pered Mr. Pecksniff, looking at her with profound mystery, attd motioning her to advance her ear a little closer to his month. When they say they havn't improved, ma'am, AtaA the premium was too high, they lie! I should't wish it ? bementionad.; you will understand me; but I say to you, eld friend, i*. Base wretches they must be said Mr. Todgers. "Madam," said Mr. Pecksniff, you are right. I respect you for that observation. A word in your ear. To Parents and Guardians. This is in confidence, Mrs. Todgers." The strictest, of course cried that lady. To Parents and Guardians," repeated Mr. Pecksniff. An eligible opportunity now offers, which unites the advantages of the best practical architectural education with the comforts of a home, and the constant association with some, who, however humble their sphere and limited their capacjty-obsenc !-are not unmindful of their moral re- sponsibilities." Mrs. Todgers looked a little puzzled to know what this might mean, as well she might; for it was, as the reader may perchance remember, Mr. Pecksniff's usual form of advertising when lie wanted a pupil; and seemed to have no particular reference, at present, to anything. But Pecksniff held up his finger as a caution to her not to interrupt him. Do you know any parent or guardian, Mrs. Todgers," said Mr. Pecksniff, who desires to avail himself of such an opportunity for a young gentleman 1 An orphan would be preferred. Do you know of any orphan with three or four hundred pounds ]" Mrs. Todgers reflected, and shookxher head. When you hear of an orphan with three or four hundred pounds," said Mr. Pecksniff, let that dear orphan's friends apply, by letter, post-paid, to S.P., post-office, Salisbury. I don't know who he is exactly. Don't be alarmed, Mrs. Todgers," said Mr. Pecksniff, falling heavily against her. Chronic—chronic Let's have a drop of something to drink." Bless my soul, Miss Pecksniffs," cried Mrs. Todgers, aloud, your dear pa's took very poorly Mr. Pecksniff straightened himself by a surprising effort as every one turned hastily towards him and standing on his feet, regarded the assembly with a look of ineffable wisdom. Gradually it gave place to a smile, a feeble, help- less, melancholy smile bland, almost to sickness. Do not repine, my friends," said Mr. Pecksniff, tenderly. Do not weep for me. It is chronic." And with these words, after making a futile attempt to pull of his shoes, he fell into the fire-place. The youngest gentleman in company had him out in a second-yes, before a hair upon his head was singed, he had him on the hearth-rug—Her father Jinkins and Gander took the rest upon themselves, and made him as comfortable as they could on the outside of his bed and when he seemed disposed to sleep, they left him. But before they had all gained the bottom of the staircase, a vision of Mr. Pecksniff, strangely attired, was seen to flutter on the top landing. He desired to collect their sen- timents, it seemed, upon the nature of human life. My friends," cried Mr. Pecksniff, looking over the banisters, let us improve our minds by mutual inquiry and discussion. Let us be moral. Let us contemplate existence. Where is Jinkins 1" Here," cried that gentleman. Go to bed again To bed!" said Mr. Pecksniff, Bed! 'Tis the voice of the sluggard, I hear him complain you have woke me too soon, I must slumber again. If any young orphan will repeat the remainder of that simple piece from Doctor Watts's collection, an eligible opportunity now offers." Nobody volunteered. This is very soothing." said Mr. Pecksniff, after a pause, Extremely so. Cool and refreshing particularly to the legs! The legs of the human subject, my friends, are a beautiful production. Compare them with wooden legs, and observe the difference between the anatomy of nature and the anatomy of art, Do you know," said Mr. Peck- sniff, leaning over the banisters, with an odd recollection of his familiar manner among new pupils at home, that I should very much like to see Mrs. Todgers's notion of a wooden leg, if perfectly agreeable to herself!" As it appeared impossible to entertain any reasonable hopes of him after this speech, Mr. Jinkins and Mr. Gander went up-stairs again, and once more got him into bed but they had not descended to the second floor before he was out again nor, when they had repeated the process, had they descended the first flight before he was out again. In a word, as often as he was shut up in his own room, he darted out afresh, charged with some new moral sentiment, which he continually repeated over the banisters, with ex- traordinary relish, and an irrepressible desire for the im- provement of his fellow-creatures that nothing could subdue.

THE HORRORS OF TRANSPORTATION At the Liverpool Assizes on Tuesday last, one George Robinson, alias Saxon, pleaded Guilty" to the charge of having illegally returned from transportation, and when brought up for sentence entered into a long and singular statement, which was listened to by a crowded court with great attention. From this it appeared, that in 1820, being then but IS years of age, he had been convicted of a high- way robbery, at Pendleton. He received sentence of death, but was finally transported for life. He had, however, an irresistible desire to return to his native land, and some time after his arrival at Sydney made an attempt to escape by swimming off to a brig lying in the roads, and succeeded in concealing himself below until she was at sea. She was driven back, however, by stress of weather, he was given up to the authorities, received 100 lashes, and was sent to a penal settlement, first at Hunter's River, and afterwards at Macquarrie-harbour. For 12 months at a time he never had the irons off his legs. He described his situation as in. tolerable, without any communication with his friends, shut out from the world, and with hardly a hope for the future. He determined again to make an attempt to escape. He left the colony with several others. Three days after they were attacked by the natives; several of them were wounded, and all their clothes and provisions were carried off. To go forward in this condition was almost hopeless,—to go back was to suffer again a punishment of 100 lashes, and to be condemned to work in the gang reserved for the worst criminals. They resolved to go on. They lost themselves in the Blue Mountains and wandered about naked 60 days, living on what they could pick up in the bush, cr along the shore, to which they were finally conducted by another party of the natives. They were then nearthe site of Port Philip. -Here they fell in with another tribe, by whom they were taken and given up to the authorities. They were conveyed to Coal River naked as they were. They there were allowed a blanket to cover them, but even this they were obliged to leave behind when they were shipped on board a Govern- ment vessel which was taking coals to Sydney and, but for some canvass which they were allowed to have to cover them, they would have had to lie naked on the coals in the hold. They were landed in this plight at Sydney. There public charity supplied them with some clothing, but one of his companions, for six months, had nothing but a pair of tronsers. They were sentenced to receive 100 lashes, and to be sent back to Macquarrie-harbour. Their wretched state was such, however, that the first part of the sentence was not inflicted, the medical man having made a representation that prevented it. He remained at Macquarrie-harbour some time, when he again, with some others, got away in a whale- boat, and ran along the coast for nine days, having made a sail by fastening together the shirts of the party. They were obliged, by want of provisions, to put into Hobart-town, and were again sent back to Macquarrie-harbour, and placed on Big Island—the depot for the worst offenders. He des. cribed the horrors of this place as being more than language could paint. Several, he said, had committed murder that they might be removed to Sydney for trial, though certain after this short respite death would be the punishment of their crime. He told a singular tale of one Pearce, who had attempted to escape with several others. Provisions failing, they were obliged to sacrifice one to save the rest. All perished in this way, till Pearce and another alone re- mained. They watched, each conscious of the other's intention, for 43 hours, until Pearce got an opportunity of killing his companion. He was taken, and again escaped with one Cox, whom he also killed, and for this lie was finally executed. At this horrible place the prisoner said he remained upwards of seven years, when he was sent to Hobart-town. He again escaped on board a vessel, and concealed himself till she was 21 days at sea. The captain, however, gave him up on his arrival at St. Helena. He was sent back to the Cape, and thence to Robins's Island, where he worked for seven months, with 251b. of irons upon him. He was then sent to Macquarrie-harbour. His sole wish had been to see his native land, and he expressed a hope that his sufferings and his good conduct would recom- mend him to the merciful consideration of the authorities. Mr. Baron Parke said the tale which he had related would he trusted, help to dissipate any idea that might be lurking in the minds of any who might hear it, that transportation was a light punishment. It was his duty simply to pass on him the sentence, that he should be transported again for the term of his natural life. The prisoner bowed respectfully, and was removed from the bar. The appearance of the man was calculated to procure cre- dence for the history he related. There was a remarkable expression of suffering and hardship in his countenance, and there was something very moving in the manner in which he received the sentence that was to consign him again to the horrors he had been describing. —

HOUSE OF. LORDS. THURSDAY. Lord AArickIow moved for certain returns respecting the law to regulate spirit distillation in Ireland, with the view of procuring an alteration of the act passed last session, by which, in lieu of the income-tax, an additional duty was im- posed upon spirits of Irish manufacture. He gave Ministers credit for this substitution, but their measure had, in its ope- ration, proved most unfortunate. It was fraught with in- justice, it bad failed as a source of revenue, and it had pro- duced vice and immorality to a most alarming extent. The amount of duty had been increased, upon the plea of assimi- lating it with that paid by the English and Scotch distillers; but as the drawback duty which by the bill was taken from the Irish spirit was continued to that produced in Scotland, the latter possessed an advantage which had enabled it to supplant its rival in every foreign market. The Duke of Wellington regretted that Lord Wicklow should have brought the subject in its present shape before the House, instead of communicating privately with the Government his reason for supposing that the measure had operated injuriously. Lord Monteagle denied that the question as to drawbacks had been settled last session to the satisfaction of the dis- tillers; and proceeded to show that an increase of duty upon Irish spirits had been uniformly followed bv a I dling off of- revenue and general demoralization. He would prefer a tax upon property to a duty which augmented crime. After a few words from Lord AVicklow, his motion for papers was agreed to, and their Lordships adjourned. FRIDAY. Lord Campbell, in conformity with the notice he had given, moved a series of resolutions on the subject of the dissensions which now agitate the Church of Scotland, rather, as he ex- plained, for the purpose of eliciting a solemn opinion from their Lordships than with a view to legislation, which would n» he feared, be accepted ns satisfactory in the present tem >er of the dominant party in the House of Assembly, i'he Earl ol Aberdeen opposed the motion, not only on the ge leral ground that the practice of voting abstract resolutions was inconvenient, but because those at present proposed were eit'fr mere compliments to the Church of S otlaod, or so ra;ue!y expressed, that, without producing any possible auvantage, they might seriously embarrass the House when- ever it was called upon to legislate on the subject. He had been always one of those who were inclined to admit, in a great measure, the principle which was called Non-intrusion, and had framed his measure, some sessions since, on the maxim, that it was the office of the patron to present, of the people to object, and the Church to judge. Lord Brougham unsparingly condemned the members of the Scotch Church, who had presumed to hold out against the decisions, not only of the Supreme Court in Scotland, but of their Lordships' House, and denounced any endeavour to extricate them from the difficulties of their position until they had made the fullest submission. The Lord Chancellor defended the iie< i»ion in the Anchterarder cage and Lord Campbell declining to press his motion to a division, the amendment was declared to be carried, and their Lordships adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS. THURSDAY. Mr. Hume, in a very few words, moved the issuing of a new wlit for Nottingham. Sir R. Inglis supported the motion, on the principle that it was matter of common right to issue the writ, unless the House considered that there was ground for a bill of disfran- chisement. Lord Lincoln, acceding to Sir R. Inglis's principle, yet justified the past delay, on the ground that the evidence now before the house had not been printed when the suspension was ordered and that malpractices at former elections for Nottingham had been notorious and enormous. He rjoiced that the present evidence indicated a great improvement in these particulars; and he gladly took this opportunity of stating, on his own personal knowledge, that Mr. Walter was not only free from all participation in the illegal acts com- mitted at the late election, but actually unaware of them for some time after his return. After a few words from Sir Robert Peel, Mr. Cochrane said, that Mr. Walter was very harshly used in being unseated by committee for acts of which he was wholly unconscious, and proposed that he should be allowed to stand again at the approaching election. Mr. Hogg, the chairman of that committee, said, that one or more unconnected cases of bribery would not have in- fluenced his judgement; but his impression was that the acts of bribery at the Nottingham election had been the result of an organised system, and executed by agents who were members of Mr, Waiter's central committee. He might be right or wrong in that impression but he had acted to the best of his judgment under the obligation of his oath. Lord John Russell rejoiced that under the new constitution of election committees, the House had the benefit of dis- criminating judgments like that of Mr. Hogg. He would not oppose the issuing of the writ. Mr. Bernal said, that if a majority of the committee believed in the organized system alleged by Mr. Hogg, they ought to have made a special report and he commended the course which had been taken moving the suspension of the writ. After a disscussion of some length, the writ was ordered to be issued. FRIDAY. The House having gone into committee of supply, the miscellaneous estimates were resumed. The first vote proposed was for the Poor Law Commission in England and Ireland. Colonel Sibthorp opposed it. It would be too late, he said, to complain when the money was once gone; he would, therefore, oppose the grant of it beforehand. It was not merely to the amount that he objected, but to the whole principle one commissioner would be as bad as many. He would move to disallow the whole estimate for the English part of the establishment. b Sir J. Graham pointed out a considerable reduction on this estimate as compared with that of last year. The question was whether Parliament would or would not now provide for the maintenance of a commission which they had sanctioned by their own vote. Mr. Hume, remembering the state of things which existed before the appointment ot this commission, was sure that no rational man would wish to return to that position. He made some inquiries about the assistant-commissioners, in answer to which Sir James Graham said, that as there were 580 unions, the number of these assistants could not well be re- duced below the present establishment. After some conversation about the expenditure in Ireland, Mr. Hardy said, he had voted against the commission, but could not concur in resisting this vote. Mr. AVakley told him the only material vote was the vote of the money this was the vote to be refused by those who really wished to stop the system. He could not understand the charge in the commissioners' account for postages, which amounted to more than four times as much as the whole postage of the Home Secretary's office. Sir J. Graham answered that this was no wonder, when the commissions had to conduct a correspondence with 580 uuions. The amendment was rejected, on a division, by 98 to 14. On the estimate for charges connected with Scotland, Mr. AVilliams objected to two items, being "the Queen's plate to be run for at Edinburgh," and Ditto to the Caledonian Hunt." He did not see why his country men should be taxed for the amusements of the rich in Scotland. Sir G. Clerk answered that these donations were formerly paid out of the hereditary revenue, over which Parliament had no control; and now that this revenue had been trans- ferred to the public, the public were fairly charged with the accustomed donations. Mr. Hume said, that if the Queen chose to subscribe to a race she ought to pay it out of the privy purse. He censured also the payment of a salary to the Secretary of the Queen's printers for Scotland- Mr. Goulburn explained, that the Queen's plates were intended for the encouragement of the breed of horses, and if they contributed to the amusement of the rich, this was an amusement equally partaken by the poor. The estimate for the household of the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland provoked from Mr. Hume an assertion, that this whole establishment was useless, that there ought to be no Lord-Lieutenant, and that the Government of Ireland ought to be placed under the Home Department. The vote, however, passed without further observation. The remainder of the sitting was taken up with a discus- sion, on the other miscellaneous votes, which excited some interest. THE MONOMANIACS.—As it may interest some of the public who are curious in matters of monomaniacs, we can inform them that the latest intelligence from Bedlam announces that Stevenson, the Scotchman, made serious re- sistance to keepers of the asylum who proceeded on Friday to disencumber him of his immense moustachies and long beard. He denounced as a gross personal indignity the attempt to apply a razor to his face, which had never before been polluted, he said, by any such sharp weapon of destruction. The keepers, however, suceeeded in stripping him, after no small force, of those hirsute embellishments which had im- parted such interest to him at the Mansion-house, and would have made him a great lion indeed at Bedlam. So determined was Stevenson to preserve at least some portion of his long- cherished beard, that he conningly contrived to conceal a part of it inside his neckcloth; but the eyes of the keepers were as sharp as their razor, and every hair was shorn away. Stevenson is now confined on the ground floor of the criminal ward of the asylum, as is also M'Naughten. We here that M'Naughten keeps up no intercourse with his fellow- prisoners, but evinces a disposition to get into conversation with his keepers. It is not generally know, perhaps, that those committed as criminal lunatics are, on thier first admis- sion, confined on the ground floor; and are continued there until a carefel observation of their habits and conduct--such as their clenliness and It a riiilessiness--sll all satisfy the au- thorities that, it is safe to remove them to the apartments on the first floor, and then, if they continue to gain further on the confidence of the authorities, they are removed to the se- cond floor. Oxford has already attained this envied eminence, and we think we may say, without fear of contradiction, that thpre is not a man in or about the prisoa capable of judging who does not regard him as perfectly souud in his mind on every subject. The same impression prevails as to M Naughten, though not with the same certainty, as the means of observation have not been of the same duration.— Obterver%

Religion is equally the basis of private virtue and public faith of the happiness of the individual, and the prosperity of the nation. Self-denial is an excellent guard for virtue, and it is safer and wiser to abate somewhat of our lawful enjoyments, than to gratify our desires to the utmost extent of what is per- mitted, lest the bent of nature towards pleasure hurry us further. SINCERELY REGRETTED" DEATHS.—It appears, by an extract from the Edinburgh Review," upon the beauties of the advertising system, that the Times," of London, charges 7s. for publishing an advertisement of a death, in the simplest form; and that the addition of the words, sin- cerely regretted," raises the wages to 10s. At this rate, we wonder what would be the cost of publishing some of the romances which the press, in this pait of the world, is fre- quently expected to insert, GRATIS. We are ourselves called upon, often, to inform the public, not only that the character of some obscure person deceased was peculiarly amiable, in all the relations of life, but also to state how he or she bore up in sickness, as if the public were likely to take an interest in the matter. Nay, the concoctor of the record often wishes to have a newspaper certificate to the fact, that the spirit of the departed had gone to heaven It is full time that a stop should be put to such indelicate and ridiculous puffery, and such downright profaneness. DEFINITION OF A NEWSPAPER. We are to-day com- pelled," says an American editor, in consequence of the misapprehension of many of our readers, to define what a newspaper is. It is (and let those in arrear for the last quarter mark well) a luxury which those who cannot afford to stump down for in advance, or pay promptly for on the day their quarter is up, should never for a moment think of indulging in." THE EARTHQUAKE. -The earthquake in the north appears to have given general dissatisfaction, and it is pretty evident that unless these affairs adopt a more regular and rational mode of procedure, they will altogether lose favour with a British public. The earthquake of last week, instead of coming at the business-like hour of nine o'clock in the morning, as at Calabria, must needs creep in at the dead of night; and by rattling the windows and glasses, shaking the beds, and other paltry and despicable pranks, cause unne- cessary consternation and alarm. Consequently, instead of being taken for a respectable, dignified earthquake, it gets the credit, in most instances, of being a pettifogging house- breaker. I We are gravely told by the Manchester Guardian," that a lady labouring under the impression that it was a burglar, sprang out of bed, and throwing up the window, called lustily for a policeman one happened to be passing at the time to whom she communicated her fears. He assured her, however, that her silver spoons were safe, and quietly begged her not to be alarmed, as it was only an earthquake. We have always prided ourselves upon taking matters coolly; but here we candidly confess our inferiority to policeman Z 11. An earthquake! pooh! beneath his note. We shall use our influence in getting Z 11 promoted to the rank of deputy sergeant.-Punch. A wife who loses her patience must not expect to retain her husband's heart. A poor lunatic being asked how he came to be taken to the madhouse, replied—" A dispute. The world said I was mad. I said the world was mad and they out-voted me." Johnson gives the definition of ledger thus A book that lies in the counting-house." The recent defalcations and false entries shows that Johnson was correct, for ledgers do LIE now a days.
