EDUCATION. I have observed that most ladies who hare had what is considered an education, have no idea of an education progressing through life. Having attained a certain measure of accomplishment, knowledge, manners, &c., they consider themselves made up, and so take their sta- tion. They are pictures, which, being quite finished, are now pot in a trame-a gilded one, if possible-and hung ap in permanence of beauty permanence, that is to say, till old Time, with his rude and dirty fingers, soils the cbarming colours.—John Foster. BMGUSH NEWSPAPERS IN SYRIA. As toon as it was known that I had reached the village, the people en masse, from the prince to the peasant, came to call upon me. This is a universal custom in Syria. When a family receives an absent member, though he may Dot be known to the people, as was the case with me, yet for the sake of the family who resides among then, it is customary for the neighbours to come per- sonally and congratulate them on the safe arrival of the etwectee. The topics of conversation were essentially tike saw with all parties; first of all they saluted me, and then congratulated my friends on my arrival. There are 00 sash things as introductions in this country; every one oomas in and talks with you. After the preliminary aafatations, the topics of conversation generally turned on the war. It war fortunate for me that I had a number of newspapers, among which were many of the Illus- trated London News and Punch. The pictures in the former paper they relished exceedingly; the battle of Alma and Iukermann, the ships of war, and the portraits of the various commanders, among whom they recognised Omar Pasha, who had once governed in this country and, therefore, was known. It was with no small difficulty that I coald make them appreciate the trite jokes of Punch; but when once they understood them they laughed immoderately. Of all things that interested them most was the newspaper system of England. I told them every Englishman reads the papers every morning, and knows exactly how the world is going on. This fact, though it may appear common-place to Englishmen, is a strange one when told to people whose only chance of hearing news is by rumour, and these few and far between, and often untruthful and exaggerated, or perhaps unfounded. They were also greatly amused by the toys I brought with me IÐr my little nephew. It would have eorprised any European to have seen how the governor of Hasbaiya was taken up with a little rabbit with bells on its fore feet, which, as it was drawn forward, would start its ears up and down, causing the bells to jingle. Down on hisknees went the governor to play with it. It caused him so much merriment that I had a good mind to give it him to play with.-Syria and the Syrians. By M. Wartabet. WONDERS OF THE CREATED UNIVERSE. What mere assertion will make any one believe that in one second of time, in one beat of the pendulum of a clock, a ray of light travels over one hundred and ninety-two thousand miles, and would, therefore, per- form the tour of the world in about the same time that it requires to wink our eyelids, and in much less than a swift runner occupies in taking a single stride ? What mortal can be made to believe, without demonstration, that the sun is almost a million times larger than the earth; and that, although so remote from us, that a cannon ball shot directly towards, and maintaining its full speed, would be twenty years in reaching it, yet it affects the earth by its attraction in an inappreciable instant of time ? Who would not ask for demonstration, when told that a gnat's wing, in its ordinary flight, beats many hundred times in a second or that there exist animated and regularly organised beings, many thousands of whose bodies, laid close together, would not extend an inch ? But what are these to the astonishing truths which modern optical inquirers have disclosed, which teach us that every point of a medium through which a ray of light passes, is affected with a succession of periodical movements, regularly recurring at equal intervals, no less than five hundred millions of millions of times in a single second! That it is by such movements communicated with the nerves of our eyes that we see nay, more, that it it the difference in the frequency of their recurrence which affects us with the sense of the diversity of colour! That, for instance, in acquiring the sensation of redness, our eyes are affected four hundred and eighty-two millions of times; of yellowness, five hundred and forty-two mil- lions of millions of times; of violet, seven hundred and seven millions of times per second! Do not such things sound more like the ravings of madmen than the sober conclusions of people in their waking senses ? They are, nevertheless, conclusions to which any one may most certainly arrive, who will only be at the trouble of eiaminins the chain of reasoning by which thev have been obtained.—Herschel. I A TURKISH PASHA. In the very-earliegt pages of his new volume, Dr. Sand. with, ia simply describing the passengers on board the steamer conveying him to Trebizond, strikes the keynote of the whole. One of them is a Pasha going to his go- vernment, and our author spies him enjoying his kef, or 4Wafar niente, "the great occupation of his life since he has been a Pasha!" He is finely painted: "About ttttn of his attendants atand before him with their bands Mded. They preserve a grave and serious air, gazing anxiously into that placid face, and they have been stand- tag there for the last two hours. The Pasha varies the Monotony of thit voyage by smoking, eating raw cucum- bers, and fingering his beads. A Turk, even a Pasha, is sever absolutely unoccupied; some such employments as the above are always had recourse to, for I believe he never thinks. His numerous servants watch every move- ment of his eye. What can it mean; and whence the origin of this strange adoration of their master ? We have nothing like it in the West; but from time immemo- rial it seems to have obtained in Eastern manners. It must have been deeply imprinted into the mind of the nation when each Pasha had the power of life and death and when at a nod the head of an offending servant was rolled into the dust. The Pasha makes a languid remark a servant answers touching his forehead in token of pro- found respect. The Pasha pushes a stool wrh his foot, and his attendants spring forward to remove it. The Pasha feels for his snuff-box a quick-fingered slave has found it for him ere his fingers closed on it. At last the Pacha is tired of silting on deck, so he makes a move, heaving a sigh at the exertion. Two of his men rush for- ward to support him on each side two or three go before, pushing the profanum vulgus out of the way, and two or three follow, bearing his pipe, pocket-handkerchief, snuff- hot, Ac. He is conducted to the cabin, and a soft oushtanary seat being prepared, he settles himself down iftis, MM bit attendants take their places a« before." THE FIRST LOVE OF THE GREAT NAPOLEON. 1 Eugenie Desiree Clary, the daughter of a merchant at Marseilles, was the first love of the great Napoleon. Joseph Bonaparte named her sister Julie. Desiree was already attached to a young Swedish merchant, but her father would not allow the union. Napoleon pressed his suit with ardour, but without success. One of his vehement sayings to her remarkably foreshadowing his future career has been quoted-" I will give you the most splendid existence; perhaps I may pass like a meteor, but I dare to assure you that the memory of my passage will remain behind." In June, 1795, Napoleon writes to Joseph, "Desiree asks me for my portrait; I am going to have it painted; you will give it to her if she still wishes for it, if not, keep it yourself." The attachment, if it ever existed on her part, soon died away, and during the following winter Napoleon met Josephine, whom he married in March, 1796 In 1798 Desiree married Barnadotte, then distinguished as a general and a diplomatist. Twelve years rolled by, and the Due de Ponte-Corvo was elected Crown Prince of Sweden he arrived at the capital of his future kingdom with his wife, now in the bloom of womanhood. A great ball took place, at which was present a burgess of repute, a man of influence, married, and the father of a family; with this honourable citizen the Crown Princess weqjt forth to dance —he was no other than the Swede, her former lover and from that day, whether as Crown Princess or Queen of Sweden, Desiree Clary has always paid a generous atten- tion to M. Ardwedson, the wealthy banker of Stockholm. He was still living when we were in Sweden (1850), having attained a good old age, and holding a distinguished position in his order.-The Danes and the Swedes, by C. H. Scott. [Eugenie Desiree Clary is now Dowager Queen of Sweden.] THE RIGHT OF MINORITIES. Of all the qualities which constitute the social strength of this privileged race, the rarest and the most essential to the political life of a free nation is the respect for the opinions of others. From this arise the sincerity that characterizes the public discussions, and the guarantee of the rights of minorities, which distinguish the political acts of modern England. It is, however, but lately, and under the beneficial pres- sure of her habits of discussion and of publicity, that England has arrived to this high degree of justice and impartiality. It is, therefore, not an exclusive appanage-of the Anglo-Saxon race; it is the consequence of the laws and the liberties that that race has known how to preserve. It is its most recently-acquired virtue, but it is also the noblest and the most enviable. The majority, which has for the moment the superiority, does not make the same use of its power that it formerly did but the minority produces and records its protestations, to prove that it has reason on its side, and to try to become in its turn the majority. Minorities, in fact, require freedom more than majorities Under all systems, majorities are almost always sure to carry their object. Absolute power may be estab- lished by surprise, but it cannot last without the sympathy and the support of the majority of those who obey. In England the majority is for liberty, because it feels that at any moment it may become a minority in its turn and whatever may be the transformation now in progress- whatever may be in store for this people-there is every reason to suppose that this salutary disposition will con- tinue to animate it. From this arises the desire of hearing all discussing all the sides of a question, of allowing freedom of speech to all interests, to all parties, and to respect the opinions thus expressed, with a tolerance which sometimes seems to de- generate into accomplicity. This is what the English call fair play in their political language, impregnated as it is with the images and recollections of the pleasure of their youth. None amongst us can forget the calm and intrepid cour- age displayed by Lord Aberdeen, by Sir James Graham, and Mr. Gladstone, in 1851, in defending the religious liberty of the Catholics against the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill. They were then running the risk of losing for ever their great political existence, so much was the popular and Parliamentary passion excited by the reestablishment of the hierarchy; nevertheless, a year later they were all three called to fill the most important situations in the Coalition Ministry. Whoever has heard Mr. Gladstone's memorable speech against the prologation of the war, on the 24th of May last, might have believed that the majority, or at least a vety considerable portion of the Members of the House of Commons, was of his opinion-so great was the attention, so profound the silence with which he was heard: yet there were no more than thirty Members out of five hun- dred who agreed with him and public opinion, as well as the whole press, were unanimoua against his conclusions. It was the same when Mr. Cobden and Mr. Bright ex- plained their theory about peace. We have seen the much- lamented Mr. Lucas, although doubly upopular in the House, both as a convert to Catholicism and as the repre- eentative of the warmest opinions of the Irish party, make himself heard with respect and attention. Those who have seen our political assemblies, more especially those who have bad to struggle against the ex- cessive or simultaneous intolerance of the majorities and the minorities, are better able to appreciate the benefits of such proceedings. This is because the English people, who have an in- stinctive admiration of civil courage, recognizes and ad- mires that virtue in any man who dares to resist, even when alone, the ascendancy of popular ideas and the current of public opinion. Even when his passions and prejudices are the most directly contradicted, an English- man is satisfied with the weakness and the want of power of his opponents and, far from stopping their mouths, he feels that the resolution and the tenacity of such energetie adversaries are an additional glory and strength to the national character. It teetM, in truth, as if there is nothing more anti-democratic than these individual re- sistances to the will of the mass. There are no more traces of it in the republic of the United State than in the absolute monarchies of Europe. In the democracies, the boldness of him who opposes the general opinion is con- sidered as an offence against equality-as the ne plus ultra of the abuse of privilege It is, in fact, the height of aristocracy to dare so to hold out against the idol of the day, to strive against the precipitous torrent, and to stand alone and erect, when all are bowing down, hiding their obsequious, their cowardly heads. But nothing prevents this energy of an invincible conscience from displaying itself in a Christian and sincerely liberal democracy. Be- sides, it is such a general and deep-rooted habit in the English, so identical with the traditions of their general and local life, that, according to all probabilities, it will, to the honour of the English race, survive any resolution, and will coexist with all the new forms of political life.-Mon- talembert's Political Future of England. AN ADVENTURE. As we were on the night Rrowl along a gloomy by-lane that skirted a wood, Job declared that he smelled brimstone, and there were poachers abroad. 'He is right,' said J 'I smell brimstone too. They have a plan of burning it under the trees where pheasants are roosting, and down they drop without any noise into their ready bags. Now be quiet, and we shall have some fun but there will be a bit of a tussle, as these fellows always go armed, and they are sure to take us for a party of gamekeepers.' 1 Very good,' said 1. Job, where are they ? You have a nose like an old foxhound, lead the way.' The smell of the brimstone grew stronger, and presently, stealing on through the wood, we came close upon them Seven powerful men lay stretched in various altitudes along the ground one was just sprinkling more sulphur on the flames a second was refreshing himself from a wicker- covered pocket-flask (we heard the liquor gurgling down his throat); a third was counting the pheasants as he stowed them away in his bag: we heard him may, I Five- six—seven—and a plump one, too.' Just at that moment a nasty little cur that they had got with them gave the alarm, and several of the poachers sprang to their feet. I knocked a blue light that I had against a tree, and while the glare fell full on their faces, and exhibited our formida- I ble line of bristling bayonets and cutlasses, called upon them to surrender; which they considered it only prudent to do. One seized his gun, and showed symptoms of fight, but saw that resistance would be madness, and dropped his muzzle again. They were every one collared, and led off growling down to the boats; which soon put tbetr.— pheasants and all-comfortably on board the D Van arrived in time for the next press-gang adventure that I have to relate. You remember, I daresay, his promise to accompany me the next cruise to sea. I looked upon it quite as a joke but sure enough, one day I saw a boat pulling towards us, and Van standing in the stern-sheets, waving his hat to me. I was taken quite by surprise, but welcomed him on board with all my heart, and introduced him to Sir Arthur as an invalid friend of mine who was very anxious to try what the sea air would do for him, and begged to be per- mitted a passage out with us. Sir Arthur said he should be most happy 'but, my dear sir,' looking very hard at Van, are you in delicate health ? You have a colour like a peony; you have a wonderfully fresh look, upon my word;' and I saw a smile on several of the ofifcers' faces. That is one of the painful symptoms, Sir Arthur, of the ignispurpureus, the complaint under which I labour if you have any medical friend here, he will explain to you the nature Oh, pray do not think me at all seeptically disposed, Mr. Adair,' cried the captain, who saw through the thing at once; and turning to the ship's surgeon, he said, good- naturedly, Mr. Honeybun, I hare no doubt you have met with many of these alarming cases in the course of your experience ?' Many, Sir Arthur a great number and he coughed a goo 1 deal. I am happy to receive you among us, Mr. Adair,' con- tinued the captain, and hope our sea air and salt water will be of all the benefit you seem to anticipate.' 'Thank you, Sir Arthur and turning to Becket, who had accompanied him on board, Van bade him set down his baggage and return ashore. One of these packages made a great rattle as it reached the deck, and the string and paper bursting, out tumbled thrre or four ship's cutlasses, the head of a boarding-pike, and a brace of great double-barrelled horse-pistols. He had come through Birmingham in his way, and there taken the opportunity of laying in a stock of such im- plements as he thought would be useful on board a ship of war. j I r Everybody burst into a laugh, it was impossible to help it. Sir Arthur was the first; but he did it behind his cocked hat, and said, I May I inquire, Mr. Adair, if you intend these for your own private use ?' Van bowed but observed that he did not wish to be selfish, and should have pleasnre in lending any of which there happened to be duplicates. Nobody could resist Van's manly figure and address, and he was a favourite with every officer and seaman on board from that moment. But there was an odd scene when Becket came to take leave of his master. The poor fellow burst into tears; he cried like a child. There-there-be a good lad,' said Van. Go home, and be a comfort to your mistress-and don't quarrel with old Perry-and-and Good-by, Becket—good-by.' Just then Job, who was up aloft playing a stealthy game of chequers with the captain of the mizentop, unable to stifle his feelings further, darted down the rigging with the speed of a swallow, and flung himself theatrically upon his old comrade's neck, and the two blubbered in concert. After sundry hugs, however, they managed to bid each other a dolorous adieu and Becket having been consigned to the disinterested care of an old bumboat woman, he was conveyed safely ashore. I couldn't help laughing the next day, as some fragments of a conversation which took place between the captain and first lieutenant on the quarterdeck reached my ears. I J- what is to be done with those pheasants ? don't you think they properly belong to the squire yonder, on whose estate they were taken ?' I should think they did, Sir Arthur I have no doubt of it.' 'I don't know that, Mr. J I am not so sure of that. You see the case stands thus as we- 'True, Sir Arthur, that alters the case altogether they must be king's property.' I can hardly see that it's worth while to send them ashore.' 'Oh, absurd! the thing would be ridiculous!' Well, I will tell you what to do, Mr. J pass the word down to have a brace of them cooked for dinner to- day, and we can talk the matter over again by and by.' But to the other adventure that I promised to relate.— One of the poachers, a huge smock-frocked fellow, who declared with an oath that he had often thought of enlist- ing for a soldier, and was not sorry things had turned out as they had, told us, that if we would take him with us, and let him act as guide to our party the next night, he would put-us in the way of entrapping twenty fine young men, the very pick of the county There was to be a dance and merrymaking at a little country inn not many miles off. J told Sir Arthur; and he said, Go by all means, if you think that villain is to be trusted we must have our full complement; we cannot sail without; and if we are not quick, all the fun will be over yonder, and we shall have no hand in driving out Marshal Davoust.' 'Wo betide you, my lad, if you are playing us false,' said J to the poacher, as we each tucked a pistol into our belts. I shall keep my eye upon you.' If I attempt to play you foul, master, put the contents of that piece in my head.' Ay, or string you up to the nearest tree,' s:,id G- the second lieutenant of marines; 'and it is a pretty strong brimstone fire that will bring you down from there again, my boy.' Nine o'clock was the time first fixed, but 0-- said wait till ten, as there may be some who can't come to the dance till late so we waited till ten. I suppose it would not do to carry off two or three of the ladies as well, by mistake, would it ?' asked Van. I don't think that would do" said J there would be hysterics, and all that sort of thing. Men don't make much noise women do. You remember that affair of the Sabine ladies in Roman history; what a to-do there was, to be sure.' Ay, but they made very respectable wives,' said Van. They ari footing it away very neatly on the light fan- tastic toe by this time, I daresay,'I said, finding it neces- sary to change the subject. I am afraid we shall put an end to the dancing.' We are close upon the village now, masters,' said the poacher; 'you had better place your men. That is the house, with the lights in the upper window.' Very good. Job, go and inform the poor fellows of their danger.' Away went that useful, but thrice-treacherous, marine. My good people,' cried he, putting his head in at the ball-room door, 'fly The pressgangs are upon you! off for your lives All was instant confusion and uproar: the merriment ceased; the music stopped the fiddlers popped their fid- dles and sticks into their green bags, and decamped the tables containing the wine and sweatmeat6 were over- turned and such a helter-skelter breakneck scramble, each tumbling over the other, down the stairs, was never before seen. The sailors and marines were cleverly posted, however, and a score of prisoners were quickly made the remainder we allowed to escape. Such an exhibition of gaudy waistcoats, dandy pumps, and tightfitting smalls, the rural world had seldom witnessed. We could hardly help laughing, this gay holiday attire so ill accorded with their gloomy faces and then the hubbub and outcry when the captain came on deck the next morning, and the results of our previous night's industry were presented for his in- spection. They were told to hold their tongues altogether, or speak one at a time. If you please sir, to let me go; I shall be of no use to you at all on board ship; I am a poor fellow who earns his livelihood by keeping an acre or two of ground and a few cows, for the support of an old father and mother It's cruel, sir-it's cruel, gentlemen, upon my word, to detain me. I Pooh, pooh, nonsense; you'll make a capital soldier, and your father and mother will be all the prouder of you when you come back from the wars.' I Oh Lord! Oh Lord sobbed the poor fellow, turning his face away I'm a ruined man Oh Lord oh Lord And I'm a poor harmless tailor, sir, what oever injured nobody please to let me go.' Oh, I daresay, indeed you're just the man for us; we wanted a tailor. Send for your goose and shears, man, at once and there was more lamentation. If you please to consider my case, sir,' cried a third, who had a flaring red waistcoat on, with two huge bunches of roses worked on it, like a piece of drawing-room carpet; 'I've a wife and six children, all dependent upon my exertions for every bit they put into their mouths. They will famish, sir, in my absence—they will, indeed.' A wife and six children, eh ? Was your wife with you at the ball ?' No, sir.' And a pretty husband and father you are, to go cutting capers and kicking up your heels in this way, while she stays at home, slaving her life away. If you had only had your wife with you, I would have sent you ashore again, but twelve months' cruise will bring you to your senses. Well sir,' to the next appplicant for emantipation, what tender statement have you to make ? Are you one of the village patriarchs, too ?' No, your honour; I am an honest baker, that wouldn't hurt a worm I am a great coward, your worship if your reverence would only 'A coward, sirrah! Then, by the beard of Mars, you couldn't have come to a better school. We'll make a man of you in a very short time. Besides, we are sadly short of a baker just now, to find us in hot rolls for breakfast. Stand aside To a fifth, What is your tale ?' I'm a poor journeyman shoemaker, captain, and should be of no use to you at all, and I'm dreadfully subject to fits; please to allow me to return ashore.' 'Fits! Why, man alive! sea air and salt pork is the medicine of all others for fits. (f you hadn't told me that you were subject to fits, I should have let you go, but now it would not be right. Move off. Well, who are you.' A young farmer, admiral; I'm willing to go to sea I was going to volunteer, and wouldn't run away if I could, (here there was a laugh), and only want to b< allowed to go back and get my clothes' (another laugh). I Bah you couldn't look to better advantage; I like those clothes you have on very well; Lord Chesterfield himself never boasted a coat of a cut like that.' This was quite true, for the tail of it tapered off gra- dually to a point like that of a lizard. The next said, 'I hope you will have merdy upon me, general I was to be married next week, ant Betsy will break her heart if any ill was to befal me. I'm telling you the truth, your excellency, I am, indeed I hope the first shot may kill me, if I am not. Oh, please let me go;' and the poor fellow wrung his hands, and dropped bump on his knees. This poetical appeal touched a tender chord in Sir Arthur's heart, but men were scarce, and he shook his head. I When were you to have been married ?' he asked. 'Next Tuesday was a-week, your reverence.' Upon my word! a pretty fortunate escape fov you. You olught to be thankful, and I hope will show purself so. Stay where you are.' The next'was the old fiddler who had bagged lis instru- ment with such despatch when the alarm was giien by Job. He looked at Sir Arthur with a half-serious, htlf-comical sort of air, and said, I Well, captain, what kinl of berth now do you mean to offer me ? for I tell u plaiily I won't serve at all, if you are going to make anyroing leBs than an admiral of me and, in spite of the misery of those around him, they seemed to enjoy the joke. Why, you shall fiddle for u, to be sure; suppose you're not fit for much else.' I fiddle for you my arm shall drop from (hI shoulder first!' Why, that's right; you speak up like a nan, and I have no doubt would be as good as your worl. There, take your fiddle and be off, before our teeth tre set on edge.' The old man took his favourite instrument oolly from the hand of one of the marines, and getting ia to a boat that was alongside, fiddled as hard as ever he sould, and pulled grimaces at us, all the way till hereachedthe shore. The rest of the party were then sent to thei' quarters. The mirth and misery of the scene I shall nerer forget, the more so as I and J had been the meats of these poor fellows' capture. Many of them made excellent soldins and sailors, however. The next day, to prevent the possibility of dESertion on the part of the refractory, we found it expediett to drop down the river, and soon afterwards, the reet of the squadron joining, anchored off Yarmouth.—Fron Hogg's I Inllruclor.

JACK SHEPPARD ALIVE. I In August last, a man named Ilirons was committed to Reading gaol for burglary. While there h? made two In genious attempts to escape. Tile first occurred in Sep- tember last, when he pulled the gas pipe hooks from the wall of the cell, and being under instruction in shoemak- ing, he took advantage of the stone placed for his use and rubbed the ends of each hook, so as to form a screwdriver, with which he unfastened the plate forming the trapdoor of his cell. He was speedily detected by the warder on watch, and the result was that he was removed to another part of the gaol. In order that he should have fewer tools at his service, he was next placed to learn tailoring, but here his ingenuity enabled him to mak? use of the simple things in aid of his object. A pair of scissors was tied up with the materials given him to work upon as a tailor, and in the absence of his instructor he broke off the blades to prevent detection he fastened the handles to a wooden spoon, tied them up with his work at the close, and, being thus exposed, no suspicion was excited. He then placed one of the blades in a piece of vvbod, which he wrenched from the back of the cupboard, and bound it round with what is called a "wax-end," making it as firm as if it was the best manufactured knife. A steel thimble he had also beaten open and converted into a knife, and of a magnum bonum" pen he had made a small saw. With these implements he again applied his energies to open his cell door on a Sunday in February last; but the noise, though slight, attracted the attention of the warder, and he was stopped at his work—not, how- ever, before he had succeeded in removing a large square piece of ood from his door to get at the lock. An iron plate at this point was an effectual barrier to the accom- plishment of his object. When visited and found hard at work to release himself from confinement the remark was 1 made to him, 11 What, you have been at your tricks again ?" He cooly replied, "Yes, I can't liell) it; I must be doing something." In consequence of this se- cond attempt being reported to the Secretary of State, an order was made for Hiron's removal to the convict estab- lishment at Portsmouth, whither he was conveyed a short time since. In appears that there he slipped his cable on Tuesday week, in broad daylight. Having learnt the bu- siness of a tailor, he made himself a suit of clothes out of his rough sheets, and, having secreted them under his pri- son dress, took a favourable opportunity, while working in the dockyard, to retire into a corner, where he doffed his convict outer garments, and dressed himself in the work of his own hands. Being thus equipped, and looking rather seedy, he boldly marched, as well as a pair of pre- tended knock knees would allow him, towards the main entrance of the dockyard, meeting in his way several offi- cers. When arrived at the gate, he was challenged by the sentinel on duty as to what business he had there; to which he made a ready answer, and then cadged" of the sentinel, who then told him to clear off. This unne- cessary piece of advice he did not wait to be repeated, but hied off into a wood in the neighbourhood. Here he was .,Iibotirho,) d Here lie was followed in less than half an hour by a party from the dockyard, who by that time had missed him. They did not find him, however,, and when the curtain of night had fallen he left his iair in the wood and committed a burgla- ry in the neighbourhood of Portsmouth, carrying off a portion of eatables a-id E6. He seems subsequently to have taken the rail to Oxfordshire and the next thing we hear of him is that on the night of Saturday or morn- ing of Sunday last he was at Great Barford. There he rummaged over the workshops of Lovell and another car- penter, where he lighted fires of shavings, and carried away a saw from the former. His next eploit was at the house of Mr. Woolg:ore, grocer, where he cut out with a saw the whole frame of a window secured with iron bars, and carried off a full suit of clothes, a hat, 2 lb. of tobacco, and about 10s. in copper, the inmates of the house remaining sound asleep all the time. He next vi- sited his old friend's stable Mr. John Timms, Little Barford, but there he did not find what he was in search of, and accordingly went over to Mr. Austin's, where he rode away with a fine white horse, a halter, and a sack, through Hornton, into Iiatley parish, where it being now daylight of Sunday morning, he dismounted and turned the horse up a lune near Lord Villier's mansion. By this time Superintendents Dixon and Burton, of Deddington and Banbury, were on his track, and they traced him to Wellesbourne. During the day the valuable services of Mr. Hickling, superintendent of the Warwick police, and of Sargeant Bumford, of the same corps, were enlisted in the search for the fugitive but nothing further was heard of him until Monday night about 9 o'clock. At that time a number of people were keeping Saint Monday at the New Inn, Hatton, when they were astonished on hearing three or four panes of glass smashed in the win- dow of the room in which some of themselves were assem- bled. They of course ran to the outside to see the depre- dator. and in the dim moonlight saw Hirons running at full speed towards the canal. They could not capture him -he was too swift for them. On inspection, they found that he had gained admittance to a bedroom by forcing the window, and after ransacking every corner he had taken away a silver watch and silk handkerchiefs, but could find no money. His heel had accidentally slipped as he was escaping from the window, and thus he had unwillingly sounded an alarm. About a quarter of a mile from the New Inn he immediately went and committed another burglary at the house of Mr. William Smith, farmer. Thence he stole a shoulder of mutton and other viands, a pair of watertights; and he also seems to have er,joyed himself in eating the best that the house afforded, and in drinking several cups of ale. After such a good night's work it was reasonable to suppose that he would require some rest, and therefore it was inferred that during the next day he could not be far distant from the scene of his toils. Under this impression a numerous party of impromptu detectives was got together, and began a vigorous and diligent search for the not unworthy repre- sentative of the numerous body of cracksmen." About two o'clock the same day (Tuesday) he was surprised in n barn in the Old Park, Warwick but even here his good fortune did not quite leave him, for he got out and outran all his pursuers, until a horse was obtained, and then after a hot chase of three miles he was run down and secured, and conveyed to Warwick lock-up. There it was found that he was dressed in the clothing stolen from Mr. Woolgrove, of Great Barford; and that he had in his possession nearly all the property he had lately stolen. The halter which he had stolen along with the horse was found under a stone in the parish of Ratlev, near to where the horse was found.

To some men it is indispensable to be worth money for without it they are worth nothing. Lord Kenyon's housekeeping was not liberal, and hi, temper bad, and Jekyll summed up both facts by saying, "It is Lent all the year round in his kitchen, and Pas- sion-week in his parlour." Tradesmen would make fewer bad debts than they do if, after requiring good references from strangers who require credit, they would take the trouble of testing those references, Instead of carelessly relying upon the mere mention of respectable names. CATHEDRALS.—Curious to say, El Islam has still the largest cathedral in the world-St. Sophia's, at Constanti- nople. Next to this ranks St. Peter's, at Rome; thirdly, I believe the Jumma Masjid," or cathedral of the old Moslem city Bijapoor. in India the fourth is St Paul's, London.—Burton's Pilgrimage. THE MISSION OF THE SUN.-The sun has his own work; a work, how various, magnificent, and unbroken He guides, illuminates, and feeds the kingdoms that sur- round him. Call him only the shadow of God, and he does not shine in vain. He is God's missionary, having ntither speech nor lauguage, yet making his anthem heard over the city, and over the wilderness, and over the bound- less sea. He is God's artist, for ever painting new scenes to decorate His theatre, for the delight of His people. He is God's physician, breathing joy into every living thins, giving colour to the flower and beauty to the cheek. EXPENSES OF LION KHEPING,-The duratiou of the lion's existence is from thirty to forty years. He destroys an annual value of six thousand francs (E240) in horses, mules, oxen, camels, and sheep. Taking the average of the lion's life at thirty-five vears, cacti lion costs the Arah two hundred and ten thousand francs ( £ 8,-100). The 30 lions at present existing in the province of Cothtanline, and who will be replaced by others coming from the re- gency of Tunis or Morocco, cost annually a hundred and eighty thousand francs ( £ 7,200). In the districts where I generally hunt, the Arab, who pays five francs a year to the state, pays fifty to the lion. Ge)-ar(I's Lion Hunting and Sporting Life in Algeria. AN ARGUMENT! TO BE, OR NOT TO REo-Happening, a day or two since, to fall in with a sheet of Paragraphs from Professor Holloway, designed for publication in this Journal, we were struck with the enormous amount of advertising business done by that gentleman, and the number of persons, in so many different places, who wore therein stated to have received benefit from his remedies. It cannot be that statements such as these appearing so frequently, and pub- lished in so very many Journals, would be suffered to pass unnoticed if these remt dies had not effected the cures ascribed to them and we therefore must regard them as possessing a curative virtue well worth the trial of the invalid. We are perfectly aware that medicines so largely applauded are generally looked upon as mere quackeries, yet we cannot be blind to the fact that the Professor must realize a large income from the sale of them to maintain such an immense expenditure for printing, which we look upon as a guarantee for their efficiency, more especially as it has been carried on for such a number of years, which could not have been the case if they did not poss; ss, at least, to a very great extent, the healthy and curing properties. In- deed we have no hesitation in saying, that we believe they have effected cures in all climes, and of all diseases. Where a patient is lingering for weeks or months, without receiving the slightest benefit from the physician's skill, merely kept hanging on, as it were, to a painful and joyless existence, which must terminate in a very short time, we really do think that it would ho the extreme of folly, or worse, to suffer mere prejudice to proven him from having recourse to such a remedy as this, which, if it did him no good, could at any rate do him no harm. How many thousands have been prevented from taking a remedy merely from prej udice, and how apt are parties to think that the advertisements, inserted in newspaper columns, arc not what they profess to he, although in the case above referred to, at all events v. e have good reason, to believe that the announcements, of Professor Holloway merely speak the plain unvarnished tale without any exaggeration or falsehood in them.-Pt;blic Lmter, St. John's Newfoundland.

MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. On Saturday last. the Q leen and Prince Albert revieweu t\ troops at Aldershott. Mr. J. Winter Jones has been appointed keeper of printed books to the British Museum. The Governorship of Victoria has, it is said, been offered to the Earl of Eigin. Mr. Montgomery Martin is arranging the papers of the late Duke of Wellington preparatory to writing the Duke's memoirs. Letters have been received from New Zealand with in- formation of the death of Mr. W. Swainson, the natu- ralist. A monument to Mr. W. Roscoe, the historian, has been erected in the Unitarian chapf l, Liverpool, where he was buried. Mr. Hudson, M.P., is now in Spain, interesting himself largely in Spanish railway speculations. Three bronze statues about nine feet high are exhibiting ia the Champs Elysees, representing Olivier de Serres, the father of French agriculture, Buffon, and Cardinal Fesch. It is understood to be the intention of Government to reduce the militia as troops of the line arrive from the Crimea. It is not intended to disband them by regiments, but gradually to reduce each by the discharge of the most ineffective men. Prince Albert will, it is said, pay a short visit to Paris in the course of the summer. The object of the Prince Consort's visit will be to represent Her Majesty at the baptism of 'he Imperial infant son of the Emperor and Empress of France. The King of Bavaria has just founded a gold medal to be called after him, for eminent works of science or liter- ature. A pecuniary gratification of 200 to 400 ducats (say £100 to £ 200) will be attached to each. He has also founded historical prizes of 600 ducats, a prize of 200 for a tragedy, and 100 for a comedy. The Wallachian Government has just granted a con- cession for ninety-pineayears to the house of Maximilien de Haber, of Baden, for a line of railway, starting from Orsova, on the Danube, near the frontier of Austria, and passing by Crajowa and Bucharest, and terminating at some port of the Danube not yet fixed. The Stamford. Mercuri/ says that a child was taken to Lincoln Union to be christened, when the Rév. E. M. Barry, an Irishman, refused to baptise the child Elisa- mon," and said that it was not a name. He baptised the child 11 Charlotte." The fact has been submitted to the Registrar-General. Tlte Newcastle-upoii-tync Guardian says that the other Sunday a sermon in rhyme was preached by Mr. A. An- drew, in the Wesleyan Chapel, Blyth. Some ladies in connexion with Miss Sellon, have taken the Priory, at Bradford, Wilts, for a similar establishment for Sisters of Mercy as Miss Sellon's, at Plymouth. The public are perhaps not generally aware that on the 6th April last all composition for assessed taxes ceased, and that in the present fiscal year they must make a re- turn for assessment in the ordinary manner. Mr. II. G. Robinson, of Caldbeck, has in his possession an ewe of the pure Leicester breed, only four yfars old, which has yeaned no fewer than 13 lambs. In the present season she yeaned four, all of which are" hale, well, and living." She is herself one of three at a birth. An old gentleman, who bad never before seen finger glasses, drank off the contents of his vessel, when the butler put down another but the laird turned to him, saying, Na, na, John, I'm for na mair cauld water." The Sunderland bottlemasters have resolved that as the men have refused to work for 24s., 20s., and 17s. a week, they will not employ them except at 20s., 16., and 13s. per week. The bottlemakers, in reply, announce their intention of applying to the Belgian manufacturers for employment. At the Petty Sessions at Torquay, George Burt, the proprietor of a monster bazaar from Regent-street, London, was convicted under the Lottery Act as a rogue and vaga- bond, and was committed to prison for twenty-four hours, with hard labour. These gambling bazaars are occasionally met with in the towns of this county. About five o'clock on the morning of the 1st of May, the whole of the Box Tunnel on the Great Western Rail- way, near Bath, is lighted up with the sun's rays. As the fflnnel is about three mites in length, the effect produced by the sun's beams streaming through it is most singular, and the neighbourhood for miles round flock to witness the spectacle. In consequence of a resolution on the part of the coal- masters to reduce the wnges of the colliers from 5s. to 4s. per day, fully 14,000 men are on strike in what is termel the Glasgow district, and it is expected that in the begin- ning of next week the strike will extend to the counties of Renfrew and Ayr. Some of the Protestant congregations in France are awkwardly situated. The law interdicts their holding any meetings without permission, and as that permission is sometimes refused, the religionists meet without it. Quite recently, in consequence of a meeting held at Vallerangue in the Gard, the preacher, M. Galienne, and an inhabitant who had lent his house for the occasion, were summoned before the Civil Tribunal of Vigan. We are compelled," said M. Galienne, to choose between a violation of the laws and of our conscience The tribunal, however, had no alternative, and could only apply the law—admitting, however, extenuating circumstances, the accused were each condemned to 50f. fine and costs. At a public meeting recently held at Epworth, the birth place of John Wesley, it was unanimously resolved- That.a statue, in accordance with a design submitted to the meeting by Mr. Henry Tilbury, artist, Doncaster, be erected in some convenient place in the town of Epworth, the birth-place of the late John Wesley the requisite fund to be raised by a national penny subscription." A com- mittee was formed, with Mr. G Dunn, M.D., of Doncaster, at the head, for the purpose of carrying out the object of the meetiag; and, in furtherance of the foregoing resolu- tion, a lithograph of the intended monument was ordered to be prepared, and arrangements were made to facilitate the collection of subscriptions by duly authorised agents. The design of the proposed monument represents John Wesley attired in a gown, with a Bible in his hand, and preaching from a tombstone, he having once delivered a sermon from the stone over his father's grave in Epworth churchyard. BUTTER ADULTERATED WITH FLINT STONE. As- tounding as is the announcement at the heading of this paragraph, it is nevertheless true. Butter is adulterated with flint stone. This heartless and wicked fraud is espe- cially practised in the low kinds of butter usually sold in large manufacturing towns to the poorer and industrious population. The flint stones are ground and then chymi- cally manipulated, until they are reduced into a soluble substance, which is known by the denomination of" sola. ble silica." When this latter preparation is dissolved in watpr it becomes a stiff gelatinous body, somewhat re- sembling strong jelly. This jelly is mixed to a considera- ble extent with butter of low quality, to which fresh salt and colouring matter are added. The product of this villanous adulteration is a compound which resembles a very good-looking dairy made butter. But it has not the firmness or bright appearance of genuine butter, and is devoid of the richness and wholesome qualities of the latter. ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGFNCE,-Tiie following pre. ferments and appointments have been recently made: Archdeaconry the lIon. and Rev. II. R. Yorke, M.A., rector of Wimpole, to the archdeaconry of Huntingdon. Rectory the Rev. C. W. M. Bartholomew, B.A., to the rectory of Glympton, Oxon. Vicarage the Rev. J. Irvin, to the vicarage of Brotherton, Yorkshire. Perpetual Curacies the Rev. T. Farrar, to the perpetual curacy of St. Mary and St. Margaret, Berbice, British Guiana; Rev. J. A. Gould, B.C.L., to the perpetual curacy of Bodicote, Oxon; Rev. W. C. Macfarlane, M.A., to the perpetual curacy of Dorchester, Oxon Rev T. P. Williamson, to the perpetual curacy of Fenny Stratford, Bucks. In- spectorship: Rev. H" King, to be inspector of the schools in connection with the Church Education Society in the county of Armagh. Curacies Rev. F. Le Hunt, to the curacy of Killarney; Rev. Edward O'Brien Pratt, A.B., to the curacy of Knocknamuckly, in the diocese of Dro- more. THE CRIMEAN INQUIRY. Every day's proceedings in the Court of the Commissioners at Chelsea Hospital confirms the opinion that the commission ought never to have been issued. While the former Crimean Commis- sioners are placed in the position of defendants on the appeal of Lord Lucan and others, the want of power or of purpose in the Court as it is at present constituted has placed Culonel Tulloch, one of the old Commissioners, in the position of executing the duties of prosecutor. In- stead of confirming or reversing the report, the new Commissioners are thrust into the false and useless duty of overhauling the raw materials of the previous in- quiry, at a distance from the scene of operations, amid political and social distractions. The appellants treat them with characteristic contempt. General Airey coolly justifies the difference between his present and his past evidence, by saying that to the Crimean Commissioners- "a Poor Law Commissioner" and a statistical clerk in the War Department." engaged on a mere Commissar- iat" investigation—he only thought it necessary to give very general anJ superficial answers." It is as if Gen. Airey could see no fault in his" superiors," while he studiously selected his phrases to mortify and injure his inferiors" and pequins who question the military powers that be. The hroad facts are re-established but in the process officers are arrayed against each other, or are exhibited in positions of painful subjection, lordly inso- lence, or sycophant impertinence.—Spectator. HOLLOWAY'S PILLS the Greatest Wonder of Modern i.ime.g.-They correct bi!t,, prevent flatulency, cleanse the livor, purify the system, renovate the debilitated, strengthen the stomach, increase the appetite, invigorate the nerves, promote health, and reinstate the weak to an ardour of feeling never before experienced. The extraordinary df.iiy sales of these invaluable Pills, in all parts of the globe, astonish everybody, convincing them that there is no ciller medicine in existence equal to Holloway's Pills for ren,ov. ing the complaints which are incidental to the tllIU an race. They arr, indeed, a blessing to the afflicted, allll a boon to those who suffer from any disorder, external or internal.
