I LORD PALMERSTON SKETCHED. It may be truly said that Lord Palmerston first began to think of the domestic of the country when, after 70, he was summoned to thti conduct of the war. In regard to the infinitely multipli b and diversified subjects, administrative and legislative which continually solicit the mind of a Prime Minister if h is in earnest, and which prematurely exhausted the iØ1 mense energies of Peel, his conceptions are vague, flatt bald, and shallow, in an unprecedented degree. fhe lesson which he had set too late to learn, he has not learned at all; there is scarcely an idea, good, bad, ot indiffereut, to be extracted from his speeches upon the general business and legislation of the country even hiS military knowledge appears to be that of thirty years bac u'! and to be produced into the light in the garb of that d*1*' unrenovated, unrefreshed, even by the "reviving drawer of Sydney Smith. More than this the people feel that the business of the senate is handled in the spirit of the nursery; and the worst of all ii, that they feel it justl/' for there lies at the root a want of cordial interest, and marked absence of earnestness of purpose, and of the sen'" of any other sort of responsibility than the risk of beIJ;, placed in the parliamentary minority. These defects which, might, indeed, have left Lord Palmerston useful in the second place for which Lord Derby designed him, btl ( which are incompatible with the beneficial occupation of, that post on which all other Political Officers are dependcDw and, with defects like these in the head, it is impossible e co, for the men in secondary posts to achieve, the arduotio, exploits rendering creditable parliamentary service to th I country.—Quarterly Review. WoNiiEiti-uL SAGACITY IN A DOG.-William Dredg" lives about five miles from town, at the base of the rnoul" tains which tower north of its. A short time after midj night, on the morning of Wednesday last, he was rouse from his slumbers by the howl of a dog. No menaco 011 his part could rid him of the presence of the stranS intruder. The dog continued to walk round the cabin, sU repeating his dismal moaning and howling, occ ionall making efforts to effect an entrance through the close doorway. Surprised and somewhat alarmed at this demonstrations, Mr. Dredge at last hastily dressed himsc' and unbolted the door, when a large mastiff rushed 111 The dog at once caught hold of his trowsers, and emplore every gentle means to induce the than to accompany hI outside. Dredga's first impression was, that the anirn3 was mad, and yet so peculiar and earnest were the durn entreatirs, that he finally yielded, and proceeded withoii the cabin. A joyfal yell was the result, and the delightej brute, now capering and wagging his tail before him, an now returning and gently seizing him by the hand an trowsers, induced Dredge to follow him. Their course will up the precipitous side of the mountain, and soon they were forcing their way through a snowdrift that had settled 1$ one of its numerous fissures. Here comes the wonder upon the snow lay the body of a womr.n who had evidently perished from cold and exhaustion. Her limbs were already stiffened in death but what was the surprise of Mr. Dredge to see that faithful dog ferret out, from a bundle of clothing that lay by the side of the woman, a young child about two years of age, still warm and living. A little inspection. aided by the starlight and the brightness of the snotfi enabled him to discover that the person of the woman waS nearly naked. With a mother's affection she had stripped her own poison in order to furnish warmth to her exposed infant. The trusted dog had completed the work of self. sacrifice. Mr. Dredge immediately conveyed the child t" his own cabin, and, arousing some of his neighbourtl, proceeded again to the mountain, to secure from the attacki of wild beasts the person of the unfortunate woman. ReI body was buried the next day. The child and dog havi been adopted by this good Samaritan, but as yet he hli been unable to obtain light as to the name of the woman or how she happened to stny ori disnial mountain sidej lit such un uuiortunati- hour. Tue child is doing well, all!" i. trafr a toadttww J.-QllåjmØ.fltw.
