SIR,-It is now three years and a half since I was sorely afflicted with rheumatic gout, the suffering from which induced me to try ill the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief from pain.

I instantly adopted his advice, nnd to my joy the excruciating torment soon began to ahate, and a few boxes restored me to health, since ■hich I have had no return of the complaint. I trust you Will give publicity to riiv case, that suff'-dng humanity flay know how to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease. I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, MICHAEL NASMYTH.

FOREIGN* INTELLIGENCE. The general tenor of the foreign news is a little more favourable to the hope that the peace of Europe may be preserved. The complete success of the Italian patriots, the league formed between all the states of the Penin- sula, and the defection of the Sclavonic and Magyar pro- vinces of the Austrian empire, must convince the House of Hapsburg that its rei"n in Italy has ceased for ever. The King of Prussia cannot afford it help, and the Tzar will not. He has issued a manifesto denouncing, of course, the anarchical principles that have spread from France and infested the dominions of his Prussian and Austrian allies and he talks vehemently of war but it is remarkable that he holds out no threats against any individual power, and onlv declares that he will resist if attacked. So then he will not fight to replace the Austrian banners in Italy, or the Danish in Holstein and Schleswig. These two chances of war are removed, but a third still remains involved in the destinies of Poland. France still groans under the fatal effects of the Blanc and Pages system of economy, but some welcome indi- cations of a reaction against that school are beginning to appear and it is even rumoured that M. Garnier Pages is about to resign. Lamartine's admirable reply to the Irish deputation has produced an excellent effect, as corroborating the previous assuiances of the Pro- visional Government that they would act strictly on the principle of non-intervention. The National Congress at Frankfort, elected by the people of Germany, are quietly laying the basis of the new federal state, without troubling themselves to con- sider what may be the wish of prince, king, or kaiser. The form is not to be republican that has been resolved by an overwhelming majority. The incorporation of Schleswig and Holstein has been cordially voted. The abortive attempt at a revolution in Madrid was secretly instigated, it is suspected, by Narvaez, who is availing himself of that pretext to imprison and banish every man of note in the liberal party. Olozago among others has been sent off to the Philippines. FRANCE.—The provisional government has seques- trated the Paris and Orleans, and the Orleans and Vierzon railways, on the ground that the workmen on the line are in so complete a state of disorganization that they threaten to mutiny and stop the works. The measure is viewed in two lights—by some as confiscation and spoliation; bv others, as necessary precaution.— The election of officers for the national guard is going oil.-Governi,ieiit has notified to the men employed on public works that they shall have holiday, and yet be paid as if in full employment, during the three days' elections for the national assembly. The National says there have disappeared from the Tuileries two enormous portfolios in which Louis Philippe kept his most curious correspondence, and the papers which he might make use of against those who conceived the idea of turning against him or his ministers. Their disappearance is recent. GKIIMAXY.— The debates and discussions in the Germanic central parliament, sitting at Frankfort, are in favour of monarchical and constitutional principles over republican doctrines. For example, the system 0 f indirect election for members of the constituent assembly was carried, against the direct system, by 317 to 186 deputies.—The extraordinary diet of Brunswick was opened March 31.. speech, the duke promised military aid to Holstein against the Danes. SCHLESWIG AND HOLSTEIX.—From the Borsenhalle of Saturday we learn that a body of Danish troops, estimated to amount to 1400 men, had entered the duchy of Schleswig, and had occupied the town of Hadersleben. A Danish ship of war had fired on a .J TT 1 .L 1- u _u u L body of Schleswiger aim xioisteiners, on men maicu to Apenrade but no one was killed or wounded. In consequence of the appearance of some Danish vessels of war, the people of the island of Alsen had declared in favour of Denmark, and had hoisted Danish colours on the castle of the Duke of Augustenberg. HOLLAND.—The king, as Grand Duke of Luxembourg, has decreed, under the date of March 29, the dissolution of the present states, and the convention of the new, of double the number of delegates, for the revision of the constitution.—Prince Metternich arrived at Arnheim on Saturday, on his way to London, via. Rotterdam. BKLGIUM.—Further attack from the French frontier is apprehended. The participators in the late aggression arc making preparations at a village behind Turcoing, under the very ejes of the French local authorities. The tendency of this, in the present disorganised s'ate of the French Army, is to begot, a degree of warmth in the latter which may lead to a serious invasion. ITALY.—A letter from Milan says that General Bes, at the head of 4000 troops of the line, and 7000 volun- teers, attacked the Austrians near Montechiaro, and put them to the route, taking 6)0 prisoner. amongst wllOm are a squadron of cavalry and three pieces of artillery. The situation of Marshal Redetzsky is becoming every day more and more critical, and in every step of his retreat lie finds his army melting away in his hands. His plans were upset by a measure suddenly adopted by the country people. They cut the dykes and inundated the plains. The bridge, on the Oglio, the Mello, and the Chlese were in the hands of the insurgents: the risers were swollen. The consequences of an these difficulties were soon seen; whole detachments were caught in the inundations and forced to surrender to the peasantry. After approaching Brescia, the army di- rected its march towards Bagnola, Manerbio, and Pontevico, 011 the route to Mantua and Ceremona,— Verona, the great central key to the power of Austria in Italy, has almost become useless. The inhabitants thete have risen, as elsewhere, and are masters of the town since the 22nd of March. The troops have retired to the fortifications. The viceroy is blockaded by the people in his palace, which they' have surrounded with fagots, and threatened to set. fire to if a single cannon- shot should be fired OIl the town. The two divisions of the Piedmontese army continue to advance into Loin- bardy. The iving of Sardinia, at the head of the right i division, has entered Pavia and Lodi, and is at tliie present moment on his < march to Mantua. The left, after passing through Milan and Treviglio, has con- tinued its march towards Brescia. RUSSIA.—An imperial manifesto, issued March 2o, indicates that the emperor seriously calculates on war. He speaks of being ready to encounter their enemies from whatever side they may come, and of their ancient war-cry once again leading them on the path of victory. General Skrzyneeki, commander-in-chief of the Polish army in 1835, and since serving as general of division in the Belgian service, is on the point, it is said, of quitting Brussels to join Prince Czartoryski at Posen, the general rendezvous of the Polish pitriots. DISTURBANCES IN SWKDBV.—A letter from Stockholm of the 21st ult. says The tranquillity of our capital has been seriously interrupted during the last few days. "Thc military, who were called out to restore order, were received with volleys of stones, and they were at last forced, in self defence, after several soldiers had been seriously wounded to fire by which many of the people were killed and wounded. The King himself was obliged to ride between the disorderly rabble, and about one o'clock in the morning peace was compara- tively restored. Similar scenes were repeated on the 19th, and the military wore .l(rain compelled to make use of their arms. The Altonbladt says that it was deter- mined, in a Council 0f Ministers, at which the King presided, that, in case of a renewal of disturbances, the most extreme measures should be resorted to, and that cannon should be drawn up. About fifty persons have been arrested. Ten or twelve people were killed, and between seventy and eighty wounded. A good deal of uncertainty prevails respecting the origin. POLAND.—The following aimears in the Constitution- nel, taken from a letter received from Poland:—" Thirty thousand Russians are oil the frontiers of Gallieia, at some leagues from Cracow—50 000 Russians occupy are in Warsaw. The Russian Guard is marching towards the Duchy of Posen re- serves have been called from the interior and the corps stationed at the side 0f Odessa, and towards Turkey, have received orders to send I:) HeW men towards Gallicia. The Caucassian army is about to be diminished, and placed rigidly on the defensive. Scliamil has organised communications with Constantinople, in order to know what is passing in Europe. His intention is to take the offensive as soon as hostilities have commenced in Poland. There are from 00,000 to 80,000 Poles in the Caucasus. The Government is not easy about Southern Russia. The Cossacks impatiently support the harsh administration of the Czar. In the province of Kasan there is a sort of fermentation the province situated between the White Sea, the Oural Mountains, and the Volga, is inhabited by four millions of Tartars, who ill bear the iron yoke that weighs upon them. This country is the horn of abundance of Russia it is there that are found pLltina" gold, sib'cr, copper, iron, timber—unfor- tunatelv it is out of the reach of Europe. The Poles leaving Paris in bands of twenty are to rendexvous' at Strasburg. The Germans leaving France have not been stopped, as was said, at Meaux, but kindly received." Tiii, PAIUSI.VN COURT Cutout,VR. — His Majesty the Populace this week promenaded in the streets of Paris, and sang the Marseillaise in various parts of the town. His Majesty visited the garden of the Luxembourg, in which he planted a tree of liberty. The tree was de- corated by the hand of His Majesty with flags, flowers, and bows of ribbon. The clergy of St. Sulpice were pre- sent. The cltre and vicairc assisted at the interesting ceremony, by pronouncing an oration and a benediction, after which Ilis Majesty dance d round the tree, and let off a number of muskets and crackers. His Majesty subsequently visited the principal quays, and other open places, in which he planted more trees of liberty trimmed with ribbons. Oil each occasion the clergy in the neighbourhood were in attendance, and one of their body delivered an impressive discourse, the sermon being again followed by a dance and a display of fire- works. In the evening, His Majesty was graciously pleased to command all persons whose houses adjoined the trees of liberty which he had planted, to illuminate, himself setting them his royal example, by lighting pitch fires in the principal thoroughfares. Towards midnight, His Majesty thought proper to amuse himself by drag- ging a bust of his predecessor, Louis Philippe, round the neck of which was tied a label, with A la lanterne" written upon it, about the streets. Ilis Majesty con- tinues in the enjoyment of excellent, health, and, as mav be concluded from'the above particulars, in the highest spirits.— ?M.?A.

LAMARTINE.
LAMARTINE. ( Translated from the French of M. DE CORMENIN.) BY GOODWYN BARMEY. In loving, praying, singing, see my life." LAMARTINK, lb,U. Social labour is the early and obligatory work of every one who participates 111 the perils and benefits of society LAMARTINK, 1839. AI.PHONSE DE LAMARTINE was born at Macon, the 2Lt of October, 1790: his family name was De Pratt; he has latterly taken the name of his maternal uncle. [lis father was major of a regiment of cavalry under Louis XVI., and his mother was daughter of Madame des Rois, under "governess of the Princess of Orleans. Attached thus to the old order of things, his family was broken down by the Revolution, and his most early re- collections carried themselves back to a sombre jail, where he went to visit his father. Those most wicked days of terror passed over, and M. de Lamartine retired to an obscurc estate at Milly, where his young years calmly glided away. The remembrance of the domestic serenity of his first days has never been effaced from his mind, and at many a later time of his life, as a traveller and as a poet, he has invoked the sweet images of that humble tower of Milly, with its seven linden trees, his aged father, his grave and affectionate mother, his sis- ters who were nourished at the same womanly bosom, and those grand trees full of shade, those fields, those mountains, and those valleys, the mute witnesses of the g' aines of a free and happy childhood. My mother," says he somewhere, received from her mother on the pillow of death, a beautiful Bible belonging to the Crown, in which she taught me to read when I was a little child. That Bible had engravings on sacred subjects in every page. When I had recited my lesson well, and read with few errors, the half page of Sacred History, my mother uncovered the engraving, and holding the book open upon her knees, prompted me to look, and explained it to me for my recompense. The silvery affectionate sound, solemn and passionful of her voice, added to all that which she said a power- ful, charming, and love-like accent, which rings again at this moment in my ears, alas! after six years of silence Do you not see here the beautiful child with large blue eyes, who was to be Laniartine ? Do you not see him leaning on the knees of his mother, listening to her speech, opening his mind to all the harmonies of oriental nature, and drawing from the book of books his first instincts of poetry. Soon was the child obliged to quit his paternal roof; they sent him to finish his education at Belley, in the college of the Fathers of the Faith. The religious germs which were sown by his mother, developed themselves strongly, in that melancholy solitude of the cloister; the beautiful episode of Jocelyn is full of remembrances imprinted by the calm and austere life of that holy residence. After his departure from college, M. de Lamartine passed some time at Lyons, made a first brief excursion into Italy, and came to Paris during the last days of the empire. Brought up in the hatred of the imperial re- gime, M. de Lamartine made his entry into the world without well knowing to which side he should turn his steps. Far from maternal care, forgetful sometimes of those severe precepts inculcated into his mind, the young man, they say, gave himself up a little to the in- citations of vice, dividing his hours between study, and the distractions incident to his age, gadding off to make merry with Jussieu in the wood of Viucennes, and cut- ting into whistles the bark of oaks; while dreaming already of literary, especially of dramatic glory, and well received with Talma, who was pleased to hear him recite, with his vibrating and melancholy voice, the un- published fragments of a tragedy on Saul. In 1813, th poet revisited Italy the greater part cf his Meditations" were inspired with its beautiful sky, and that delicious page of the Harmonies," entitled "First Love," was sounded forth, it is believed, by smne sweet first mystery of the heart buried within a tomb. At thefallof the empire he offered his services to the ancient race, who had had the blood and the love of liis fathers, and was entered in a company of the guards. After the Hundred Days, M. de Lamartine quitted the service. One passion absorbed him entirely-thit pas- sion made his glory. Love came and agitated the foun- tain of poesie which slumbered in the depths of his soul It was needful to open a passage for the gushing wave. The object of that mysterious passion, that loving and loved E, ,¡ra. was snatched from his arms by death. She lived again in his verses. Lamartine sung to give eternity to her name, and France consecrated him her poet. This was in 1820. The mythologic, descriptive, and refined versifiers of the Voltairian school, had so com- pletely murdered poetry, that one wished for no more. A young man, scarcely recovered from a cruel illness, his visage paled by suffering, aud covered with a veil of sickness, on which could be read the loss of a wor- shipped being, went timidly hawking abont, from book- seller's to bookseller's, a poor little copy book of verses, wet with tears. Everywhere they shifted off the poetry and the poet. At last a bookseller, less prudent, or perhaps engaged by the infinite grace of the man, decided to accept the M.S. so often refused. The good-natured bookseller was, I believe named Nicolle. Thanks to you M. Nicolle. Posterity owes you a re- membrance. Who knows, but that without you, the discouraged poet would perhaps have hurled into the flames his precious treasure, and the world might have lost Lamartine. The literary success, 'the most brilliant of the age since the Genius of Christianity, opened to M. de La- martine the career of a diplomatist. Attached to the embassy at Florence, he departed for Tuscany, and there in its land of inspiration, in the midst of the splendours of an Italian festival, it is said that he heard a foreign voice—a tender and melodious voice, murmuring in his ear, these verses of the Meditations"— A hopeless return of the bliss which has flown, Perhaps in the, future is stored for tne still, And perhaps in the crowd a sweet spirit tiiik-iowii, Will answer me kindly and know my soul well. The soul of the poet was known, he found a speond EI- vira, and some months after he became the happy husband of a young and rich English woman, entirely smitten with his person and his fame. From that time to 1825, the poet resided successively at Naples, as Secretary of the Embassy, some while in London in the same oriicc, and then returned to Tuscany in the quality of a Charge d'Affaires. After having in 18:2.) published the "Son of the Sa- cred," the poet returned to France in 18:29, and in the month of May of the same year appeared the" Harmo- nies, Poetic and Religious." 1\1. de Lamartine was received at the Academy, and when the Revolution of July broke out, lie departed for Greece in the character of Minister Plenipotentiary. The new government offered to preserve him his title. lie refused, but remained to say farewell to three genera- tions of kings, forced by fatality to a new exile. Like M. de Chateaubriand, the poet dreamed that after the three days, there would be an alliance of the past and of the future, over the head of a child. Destiny decided otherwise. His tribate of sympathy once paid to the unfortunate great, M. de Lamartine dashed gallantly into the new road opened to the mind by the Revolution of July. The past is nothing more than a dream," said he we must regret it, but we ought not to lose the day in weeping to no purpose. It is alwas lawful, always ho- nourable, for one to take his share in the unliappiness of others, though he ought not gratuitously to take his share in a fault which one has not committed. He should return in the ranks of his fellow citizens, to think, to *speak, to act, to tight with his eouiitry-tlie family of families." Here then commenced the revelation of a tendency in M. de Lamartine until then unperceived. In loving, praying, singing, see my life," said the happy lover of Elvira, but to after having led us to the threshold of the mysterious sanctuary of the heart, whereof he knew all the secrets, M. de Lamartine, smitten with a love for the outward life, aspires to the storms of the tribune, descends the heights of the empyrean to enter the forum and wears the parliamentary toga as well as the poetic robe. His first step in this new career was marked by a check. The electors of Toulon and Dunkirk refused hi:n their suffrages. They had not forgotten the dis- courteous verses which were addressed by him to their vassal, the poet, Bartlielemy. The public gained by it an epistle sparkling with beauties, in which from the height of his glory M. de Lamartine crushed the author of Nemesis." Smile while afterward he decided upon putting into execution the project of his whole life, and on the 20th of May 1842 he was at Marseilles, ready to embark for Asia. After a travel of Six months, M. de Lamartine re- turned from the East, with grand ideas, and a beautiful book, a treasure alas right dearly bought, as he had lost there his only child, his fair Julia, whom the noble heart of the father, and of the poet wept for, like Rachel who would not be comforted. On the 4th of January, 1834, he appeared for the first time, at the tribune in the discussion on the address. Which will he be ? said they. Will he be Legitimist or Radical? Right-centre, or left-centre, third party, or juste-ntiiieu ? He preferred to be Lamartine. 1, te- fusing himself all political classification, lie spoke of justice, morality, of tolerance, of humanity, in the spe- cial language which God has given to poets. The law- yers of the Chamber judged him a little vague, the mat- ter-of-fact men found him too diffuse, the statesmen declared him impalpable, but however all the world heard him with that emotion which ever attends a noble and harmonious speech when it emanates from the heart of a good man. Since his entry to the Chamber, 1\1 Lamartine, has not abandoned the IVorship of his first, of his most glo- rious years. He has attempted to march in rank, the inspirations of the poet, and the duties of the deputy. In 133-5 he published, th" poem of Jocelyn," a mag- nifieent picture of passion sacrificed to duty. For the first time he invoked the aid of modern history and dramatic position, brilliant auxiliaries which served him with kindness. Criticism has reproved him with incor- rectness of style, and negligence in the texture of this work, but the public again found its poet, whole as ('vcr, in hc beautiful pages which reflected the rugged and savage nature of the mountains of Dauphiny. After Jocelvn, Lamartine gave liS, the" Fail of an Ansel," the second episode of that vast l'fJi1peia, with whicH he was inspired by the east. This was followed by his poetic recollections. These woiks were not so well received by the critics, and in the introduction to the latter, M. de Lamartiue professed iiiLi-od tiet,i?)ii to file li' profes.(l tiler(? I,o(-tic 'if society.. At the same time that Lamartiue thus met unaccus- tomed repulsions in the literary world, he grew greater at the tribune. The Oriental question furnished him with an occasion for dcvclopinO" his ideas on the bases of a new European system. A wann and eloquent attack on the punishment of deaih; some generous words in favour of foundlings a beautiful provisation in which he contended for classical studies, against a rough jouster, M. Arago, who combatted for science, made Lamartine known in the rank of a chief of a column, collected around him a little phalanx of choice men, and this aggregation was decorated with the name of the Social Party. What tlif-n is this social party? What moreover is the political idea of Lamartine? Placed outside the times, the interests, and the men of yesterday, the poli- tical system of the poet it is difficult 10 succinctly and precisely analyze. To the eyes of Lamartine, in the various commotions which had agita-ed "France since lt39, there was not only a political and local revolution, but also a revolution, social and universal. These partial overturnings were nothing but the prelude to a general transformation, and the world appeared to him to be soon called to a complete renovation in its ideas, in its manners, and its laws. Under this point of view, the doctrine of Lamartine approaches that of St. Simon. He repudiates not this likeness. He had proclaimed it some while before. St. Simonism" said lie," has something in it of the true, of the grand, and of the fruitful, the application of Christianism to political society, and the legislating in favour of human fraternity In this point of YÍew I am a Saint S imonian. That which was defi- cient in that eclipsed sect, was not the idea, was not the disciples: it wanted only a chief, a master, a regulator. The organizers of Saint Simonism deceived themselves in declaring at once a deadly war, against family, against property, against religion. They could not conquer the world by the power of a word. They converted, they agitated, they worked, and they changed, but when an idea is not practicable it is not presentable to the social world." There remains to be known, however, what is the practical system which M. Lamartine presents to the social world, that system he thus expresses You say that all is dead, that there no longer exists either faith or belief. There is a faith,—that faith is the general reason, the word is its organ, the press is its apostle; it wishes to remake in its image, religious civilizations, societies, and laws. It desires in religion, God one and perfect as the dogma: eternal morality as the symbol adoration and charity as the worsliip-in politics, huma- nity above nationalities—in legislation man equal to inan, man brother of man, Christianity made law." ueh is the political testament of Lamartine. That which the poetic publicist desires, that. is to say universal frater- nity, and a tevrcstial paradise, is truly what all the world wishes as well as himself. The question is, to know by what practical means the world is to be placed in this position. In that which is connected with exterior politics, La- martine's thought is not more practicable, but it is more neat and precise. It may thus be reduced to its most simple expression. Europe is gorged with inactive capacities and powers, which im- periously demand social employment; but at the same time when the excess of life overflows among us, there is working in the East a crisis of an inverted order. A grand vacuum offers itself there for the overplus of European faculty and population. W hat is to be done then is to turn upon Asia the surplus of Europe. How is this idea to be actualized ? Lamartine says, that a European congress should be assembled, to decree that imme- diately after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, (and he sees it already on the ground) each power should take possession of a part of the E'lst, under the title of a pro- tectorate; should found on its coasts model towns destined to relieve Europe of its exuberant population, should lead thither the indigent by the attraction of a benevolent, equitable, and regular organization, and should appeal thus insensibly to Asia in the way of con- j version. "III twcuty years," adds Lamartine, the measure which I propose would have created prosperous nations, and millions of men woul d be marching under the j cegis of Europe to a new civilization." But remark that this theory presented here in the state of a skeleton, is adorned with a magic of style so attractive, that the spirit allows itself to be gently led towards the angelic dream of the candid soul of the poet. We nearly forget that to realize this system, which unrolls itself in twenty pages, there would be required nothing less than to change by a stroke of a wand, minds and men, to overthrow empires, to make continents approach each other, and to join by the bonds of mutual and durable sympathy, races formed Upoll centuries of iiioi-tal enmities. But M. Lamartine accomplishes all these things in twenty years, and with a stroke of the pen. Another ten centuries, and perhaps this audacious Utopia will become a manorial right. Thus goes the world! While the crowd is painfully forced to enlarge the wheel-rut deepened by the genera- tions passed, expecting that it will leave to the genera- tions to come the continuation of its work, the poet, intrepid, and indefatigable eniightener raises himself to his height above the times, and cries to the ciowd, "COtn to nw," I have not thy wings," allswers the crowd. The public uneomprehended takes his flight, and the crowd which could not comprehend, returns to its work In a later analysis, there is in the exceptional position of Lamartine, amid the parties and ambitions which di- vide the country and the chamber, a character of dignity and grandeur, which well becomes the poet. Notwith- standing his speech is vague, indecisive, and ill at ease, in the narrow and ephemeral questions, which each ses- sion sees born and die, yet that speech enlarges, fortifies, and unrolls itself harmoniously coloured and imposing, whenever it has to vindicate the rights of intelligence, or to defend the eternal principles of honour, of morality. and of charity, oil which rest all human society. We recall that stormy day when a late minister had to resist nearly alone the united efforts of the most powerful orators of the chamber. The ministers succumbed. La- martine believed he saw in the energy of the attack, a snirit of systematic hostility, of eovetousncss, or of ran- cour. His poet's soul was indignant; he descended into the arena, re-established the combat, and made an appeal to the country to decide the victory. That influence which Lamartine sometimes exercises in the debates of the chamber, is less due to the eminent oratoricaUaci- lities which he possesses, than to the morality of his life, to the elevated instiacts of his nature, and above ad to the calm, disinterested, independent, and noble attitude, which he has ever preserved since his entry into the political career. The poet of Elvira has in his general appearance a something which recalls Byron. There is the same beauty of face an4 look, there are the same habits or elegance and of dandyism, the same tournure, a iittle trimmed, a little English,perhaps,but perfectly noble and distinguished If you join to this to complete t.ie resemblance, the train of a great lord, a sumptuous hotel, horses of pure race, a magnificent chateau, you can then conclude that since Tasso and Cainoens, the times are a little changed, and that one is per- mitted in our days to be a great poet without dying in an hospital. With the late political position of M. de Lamartine the public is familiar. The longer he has sate in the Chamber of Deputies the more he has seen cause to withdraw his confidence from the King and Guizot, to op- pose them, and warn the country of the necessity of a firm stand for liberty. For this his eloquence has been zealously and splendidly exerted in the Chamber; for this he established the Journal Bien Publique; but above all, for this has he written his great work the history of the Girondists, which has unquestionably done more than any other cause, lo urge on the era ot the Re- volution. During the paroxysm of this great and won- derful change, Lamartine has maintained all expectations formed of him. Wise, firm, benevolent, and dismtei ested, j he resisted the rash claims, while he has aùyocateù the just ones of the people. To him, perhaps more than any other of the present leaders of France, it is owing that so stupendous a crisis has been passed witn so litile out- rage, and so much noble forbearance. His power upon the multitude in its most agitated moments reminds us of that of Cicero. From his true Christian faith, and the high and generous rriniplcs ",hieh he has derived from it, we look for the introduction not only of greater sta- bilit into the new government, but for a higher policy both dometic alld foreign than has yet distinguished state morality. — Iloivitt's Journal.

A good many years ago two nvu&cns, lacues 01 Melford, who lived by mystic Pond, as it used to be called, waited formally i upon Justice \V to enter a complaint against one John Tannei and others. Such conduct as Tanner's they thought abominable, and he ought to he taken care of. It was a s hame, so it was, that two respectable females could not look out of their windows of a morning without being shocked at his indecencies. If there was no law for such outrages, they were verv sure that there ought to be one. Such an example as John Tanner' s was enough to corrupt the city of London- they could not toieratc it any longer, city of 1,(,Ilu t',ie? Kc. With much difficulty, and a world of questioning, the magistrate at last got from the virgin lips the spe- cific nature of their grievance It appears that John Tanner was in the habit of bathing every morning in the pond Oil ihe opposite side to where the maidens dwelt.

ACT j,1"l: AC'tL'i- I THE HARMONIOUS C'OOL'LK. I About seven1 v years ago, as the late Sir Watkin Williams Wynne, grandfather to the present baronet, was ridintr in the neighbourhood of Wrexham, he heiird some one sing, in a cooper's workshop, wish whose voice he was very much struck; it was Mr. Meredith, who possessed a splendid bass voice. Sir Watkin had him instructed, and he became celebrated as a singer of sacred music; he was engaged at the Ancient Concerts, Oratorios, &e. but lie resided chiefly in Liverpool. The following anecdote is told of him -.—Having heard that a parish clerk of a village in the Vale of Clwyd, of the nanic of Griiffths, could iiig dowij to double C, he was determined to visit him. He accordingly started, { and walked about fortv miles. When.he arrived in the village, he inquired for Griffiths. A very little fellow, digging potatoes in a garden, was pointed out to him, What! (thought Meredith) that shrimp of a thiug to sing lower than I can Impossible Meredith wrts a fine tall man, upwards of six feet high. He walked round the garden, eyeing poor Griffiths disdainfully at length he said, upon low G, Gocxj-day to you, tõir: Griffiths, resting on his spade, replied, ou double low C, (five notes lower) 'Good-day to vou, sir." Upoll which Meredith marched off with double C ringing in his ear, all the way to Liverpool.— The Welsh Harper. THE GilA VE OF J). no GAM. David Gam, a chieftain of Breconshire, and ancestor of the present family of Games, was a staunch Lancas- tarian, and accompanied Henry the Fifth to France, where, in the battle of Agincourt, he saved the King's life, at the expense of his own. For when, in the furious melee of that encounter, Henry was surrounded by a party of French knights, and prostrated by the blow of a battle axe, David Gam, with his son-in-law, Rosser Vaughan, and his kinsman, Watkin Lloyd, of Ynys-y- Marchog, rushed forward and rescued the king but in so doing all three fell mortally wounded. For this, as the only reward he could then bestow, he knighted them on the field before they expired. It was David Gam that brought the King the memorable and inspiriting, though somewhat humorous, answer, respecting the French forces; for being sent to reconnoitre the French camp 011 the evening before the battle, and seeing the whole country before him covered with troops, he re- turned to the King, and said There were enow to be killed, enow to be taken prisoners, and enow to run away.' Shakspeare, in enumerating the shun, calls him Davy Gam, Esquire.' He certainly did nit live long to enjoy his honours of knighthood, for though the royal word was uttered Arise, Sir David Gam," yet the poor wounded soldier never did arise. However, he is seldom mentioned in history without the addition of his title. j Several members of his family are buried in the College Church at Brecon, where his father's tombstone may be I seen with the inscription: Ific jacet Llewelinus ap a'c? -L/eM-e/?M?a? j Howel, ctijits a-nime propicietur Dcus.

The wetting of coals is very false economy, as, though they may burn slower, a great deal of heat is wasted in j drying, and carried off in the steam. It is false economy, too, to purchase moist sugar, for half a pound of pure refined sugar gives more sweetness than one pound of raw a slight trial in coffee will prove this. In airing rooms, botn the upper and lower parts of the window should be opened, as the bad and heated air, from its lightness, will pass out at the top, and the fresh cool air come in at the bottom. A blanket is a cooler covering than a sheet in summer, because it allows the perspiration to escape. Sheets feel cooler at first, because they carry off the heat of the body much quicker but when they become as warm as the body, they feel warmer, by confining the perspiration. Roast meat is more nutritious than boiled, as in boiling the gelatine is extracted, and is dissolved in the water. Coffee should never be boiled, as boiling ex.- tracts and dispels the tine aromatic oil, which gives it flavour and strength. It should be made by pouring boiling water through coffee in a strainer. Writing paper dipped in brandy is often used in covering pre- serves and jams; but it has a bad effect, as the spirit soon evaporates, and the moisture which remains pro- duces mouldiness. Measuring medicine hydrops is very fallacious, as the size. of the drops vary both with the consistence of the fluid and the size of the lip of the vessel. Hot water should never be poured into glass vessels till they are moderately warmed with tepid water, as the sudden expansion of tire bottom by the heat of the water has a tendency to force it from the sides. Thin glass vessels are better able to endure such sudden ex- tremes of heat and cold than thick ones, because they are sooner heated through their thickness, and consequently expand equally. — Ilowitfs Journal. FLY FISHING. r iv fishing considered as a branch of the angler's art possesses peculiar advantages. As an Exercise, it is healthy, and just to the proper degree exciting. It braces the muscles, enlivens the spirits, gives rise to an agree- able alternation of hopes and fears, calls into activity the judgment as well as the fancy, the good taste and dis- crimin",tion of the artist, not less than his ideal and creative powers. It affords room, also, as has often been remarked, for the display of elegant motions and grace. ful attitudes.—impersonations of earnestness and intense enthusiasm, of hope, of anxiety, of joy, of disappoint- ment, of admiration, of pity, of content, of love of holv feeling, and of crowning felicity. Is it not, for instance, in the attitude of hope that the angler stands while in the act of heaving out his flies over some favourite cast ? —of hope increased, when he beholds, feeding within reach of his line, the monarch of the stream ? But now, mark him, he has dropt the hook cautiously and skilfully just above the indicated spot; the fish, scarcely breaking j the surface, has seized it. A fast, firm hold it has, but the tackle is fine, and the trout strong and active. Look! how the expression of his features is undergoing a change. There is still hope, but mingled with it are traces of anxiety,—of fear itseif. His attitudes, too, are those of a troubled and distempered man. Ha all is well. The worst is over. The strong push for liberty has been made, and failed. Desperate as that summer- set was, it has proved unsuccessful. The tackle-knot. and barb—is sufficient. Look now at the angler. Hope with him is stronger than anxiety, and joy beams forth under his eyelids, for lo! the fish is showing symp- toms of distress. No longer it threatens to exhaust the winch-line; no longer it combats with the rapids; no more it strives with frantic fling or wily plunge, to dis- ( ,a !e the !loo k It h?is los F' I engage the hook. It has lost ail heart--almost all energy. The fins, paralysed and powerless, are unaMe for their t i-, ?, k. So far fi task. So far from regulating its movements, they can- not sustain the balance of the fish. Helpless and hope- less, it is drawn ashore, upturning, in the- act of sub- mission, its starred and gleamy flanks. The countenance of the eaptor -his movements, (they are those which the sou l dictates), are ail joyous and sel f-congratu latory. But the emotion, strongly depicted it bp, is short lived. It gives way successively to the feelinp-s of admi- ration and pity—of admiration, as excited on contem- plating the almost incomparable beauty of the cap ive, its breadth and depth, the harmony of its proportions, as well as the richness and variety of its eo!,)urs-of pity, as called forth in accordance with our nature,—an un- conscious, uncontrollable emotion, which operates with subduing effect on the triumph of the moment. And now, in their turn, content and thankfulness reign in the heart, and develop themselves on the countenance of the angler; how haplv he is impressed with feelings of adoring solemnity, stirred up by some Reene of unlonked for grandeur, or the transit of some sublime phenomenon. I say nothing of the feelings of disappointment., anger, envy, and jealousy, which sometimes litid their way into the bosom, and pourtrayed on the features even of tha worthiest and best-tempered of our craft. Too naturally they spring up and blend themselves with our bettei nature; yet well it is that they take no hold on the heart, scorching it may be true, but not consuming its day of happiness. Hence it is, from the very variety of emotions which successiyely occupy the mind, from their blendings and transitions, that angling derives its plea- sures; hence, it holds a precedence as a sport with men of thoughtful and idetj temperament; hence, poet", sculptors, and philosophers, the sons and worshippers of genius, have entered, heart and hand, into its pursuit. Therefore it was that Thompson, Burns, Seott, and llogg, and, in our present day, Wilson anil Wordsworth, eXd!élngcrl eagerly the grey-goose quill aud the com- panionship of books, for the taper wand and the (lis- course, older than Horner's measures, of streams and cataracts. Therefore it was that Paley left his medita- tive home, and Davy his tests and crucibles, and Chant- rey ljis iiiould, iiiodels, and chiscl-work-each and all to rejoice aud renovate themselves, to gather new thoughttOl and energies, a fresh heart and vigorous hand, in the ex- crcise of that pastime which i* teeming with philosophy. — Stoddarfs Angler's Companion.

PUKE PATRIOTISM. —Every one must be delighted with the disinterestedness of Lord Ellenborough in calling attention to the public expenditure; for, as he happens to enjoy a sinecure as (ieik of the tees of the Court of Queen's B°nch, given hitn by his father when ehii f-justiee, and amount- ing to £ 9(j'2-5 per annum, an inquiry into the subject of extravagant outlay cannot be otherwise than prejudicial to himself. We quite agree with his lordship in his wish for economy, but we differ from him as to which end wo ought to begin at and instead of cutting dorn the hard-working clerks of J:90 or £100 per annum, or even the hard working men of a few hundieds, we should like to see a commencement made with the exorbitant sine- cures of such persons as Lord Ellenborough himself. We presume, however, that his lordship has tken this delicate method of inviting public attention to his own c.se, and that he only waits for the hint to he given him, to makp a graceful relinquishment of his enormous per- quisites. We sha\llook for the speedy consummation of this laudable object at a very early period.—Punch. BO v." HI, AND LIVER COMPLAINTS CUKHD BY HOLLO- WA y'S PILI.S.—A person of the name of H. J.
