ILihtatuvr. WHYCIJCOTTE OF SAINT JOHN'S. London Effingham 11 dson. Wp should be greatly puzzled to say wno is likelv to be ihe author of these volumes; but they lire very pleasant reading. They treat ofthe Court, the (.'atn)<. the Qnarter-dech, ant) thet mis ter,"—deal with "every thing by turns, and nothing long," and lfit from gav to grave, from lively to severe. The writer seems to know something of each of the modes of life which he professes to illustrate,—is very amusing, if not very instructing, and If he enunciates no very important tnlt'-s' contrives to tell some very pleasant .ttitcd.tc.s Of sueh a book it is impossible to give anything like sin aecouiit. It must be judged of by sample." We slnill therefore give our readers a spice of its quality," and we select, for Ihis purpnse, a skctdl, combining two of the four divisions under which he classes his subjects—viz. the Quai ter deck and the Cloister, bringing them into very graphic juxta- position, and shewill, lutlicrously enough, some of the angular points of eaeh. Our readers are aware, that the peace sent many a soldier and sailor to the universities, to seek that promotion in the church which the camp and the deck nu longer ottered. Perhaps they may have met, in those haunts of learning, with some prototype of "Wi thcrsfifhtcfTrinity Hail." In the old gray court, 011 the right of the mas- ter's Indge, not far from the rooms occupied by Kbdcn, that merriest, though not the mildest of tutors, lived in the year 182—, VVithersfield, of Trinity Hall. He was a short, fat, thick set man, with a round rd fate, ftlnd or grog, but very averse to Greek-a naval gentleman, disguised in acade- micals and as he lode along Tiumpington-street, in his full, flowing, fellow-commoner's gown, with the same step and stagger with whiuh he would have paced his own quarter deck, he was a spectacle which has been known to relax the iron muscles even of Professor Schotcfield himself. liut if his appearance was droll, much more were his address and dialogue. lie had served many years in the navy and having (to Ilse his own expressions) 'thrice foughka ship, was now a'tout to work a church No chance of promoion, now our ¿.t friend is deposed My father will have a vacant living very shortly; and I'—he sighed deeply—' must All it' So,' thus he co:i- cluded, to tiic utter amazement of the resident fellow, brought myself up in smooth water; and here I am, like a young bear, with all my troubles before me?' Never was there a neophyte more sadlv perplexed. When in his cap and gown, he always seemed donbtfulof his own identity. Moreover, he was perpetually puzzled between hisclerical prospeots and his nautical retrospects. I Wiml westerly P- This day nine years, I was wrecked ofl Ushant.

ON PULLIXG DOWN THK CHURCH, BY A DISSENTER. To the Editor of the Itecord. Sir,—You will allow me, though a stranger to you, yet a constant reader of your useful paper, to address you; peihaps you will be ready to ask who I am, I must confess that I am a Dissenter, or rather a seceder, from the Established Church; but at the same time I must say, that I am a dis senter from the Di.,sei)teri of the pieseiit- day, and that I cannot conform with the modern Noncon- formists. I can truly say, that I am far, very far indeed, from wishing the downfall or the destruc- tion of the Established Church, but I love its pros perity in every thing that is good and I sincerely love her pious ministers and members: and I ilo not envy hcr property nor her emoluments. As for reform in the Church, I wish to hear of a scrip tural aa 1 ciungelical reformation in her,conducted. by some of her learned, pious, and eminent minis- ters; but I cannot expect any thingworthy of the name, invented nor conducted by infidels, who are the enemies of God and the Church. Neither can I think it consistent for any other denominalilln of Christians to interfero" with reforming the Established Church. Every denomination have enough to do to reform their own connexion. Now, Sir, you are ready to ask, to what denomination do I belong ? 1 am ill connexion with the Welsh Calvinistic Methodists. I was induced to write to you by reading in your paper (Jan. 1.7th) the lamented account of the death of the Rev, John Hees, It. is said thclP, that he was" educated for the ministry in the connexion of the late Countess of Huntington." That is not correct. I had the pleasure of being well acquainted with Mr. Rees. He was ordained for the ministry in our connexion, the Calvinistic Methodists, in Wales; therefore I do not wonder that lie never conneeted himself with the Three D"nomin<ltions, Our connexion never do that; and we highly disapprove the union of those that wish to call themselves orthodox with the Socinians in that Board. We also detest their political views and cuuduct in the present age, therefore we do not like to be identified with them. We are grieved on the account of their conduct in political things. We love quietness and pcace, and not to be" busy bodies in other men's- matters." We appreciate the liberty we enjoy to preach and to hear the Gospel, and to worship God according to the (lie- tutes uf (lur own consciences, unci wish" tn leall a quiet and peaceable life, in all godliness and honesty." We believe that God did not ordain us to rule the nation, but to submit, --(I to obey our King and rulers; and wc do not think it proper for t4ictatc to OUr King nor to the Senate but we fee- t it our^uty constantly to pray that God may dire lead 'I)lem in allitheirconsultations, and to??Rcordi?g to his will in every thing, fmr the glory of his name, the protection of his church, and the welfare of thPiiation. May God dispqse th^g minds of our rulers to acknowledge him in all their proceedings, to walk by his rules which are in his holy Word, and to aim to glorify hiin in alllhings Dear Sir, I do not think these scribbled lines worthy of a place in your valuable paper, only I was anxiuus to inform you what are the sentiments of our connexion, in these days of rebuke and blasphemy^' w hen tuo many of Christians in pro- fession are politically mad, I hope that your la- bours may be blessed by Gild to oppose the torrents of infidelity, immorality, theological and political errors of tl,e,IHcseut dangerous age. Yours, respectfully, JOMN ELIAS, I Vron, Llangefni, Anglesey, Feb. 7, 1 S,l>>.

Others have a round crown, with a rather 11 pen brim, which fyas nol increased in size. Holh, kinds are trimmed with feather?, either a single long willtrw plume to correspond with the bonnet, or a hlluet of mara/mus. The inside of the hrill. is trimmed only wi'.J} blond lace 1}u'/lloUllit'H'.¡;. The unlv alteration iu hats, is, that they are now motjd^frequeiiily irimmed with marabous than with either ostrich feathers or flowers, though both are still alopletl by many êlêYlJlltfS, OUT Dooit COSTOIE.—Some new carriage Man- tles have appeltre I, both of Cachciiure an,1 w-atered G,-? dc ']'[,v z?r? ,f various shades f I :(,e The latter are'bordered with an Etruscan pattern in coloured silks. Those of Cachemire .tie cmbroideied also in colours, in columns which issue from the shoulders, enlarge gradually as they descend, and terminate at the bottom in a very large pattern. We still see some rich Man ties in Cachemire and velvet; particularly in the latter, but it is onlv in these materials that red is now tolerated; different shades of brown, of which there are a great many new ones, are most in favour for the mantles just introduced. HEAD DRESSES IN HALF DREss,-They are in general hlod lace caps, or marmottes. The first arc extremely small; the caul is drawn close at the top under a knot of ribbon; the trimming may be either a single or double row of blond lace, ur a very small pattern it is arranged in regular plaits. Some of these caps are ornamented only wiih gauze ribbons, which traverse the caul in oblique directions, and meet under the rosette at the summit of it. Others ofa mure dressy descrip tinn aie trimmed with Iwo small bouquets of flowers, one of which is placed rather high a little on.t ne side: the other is attached on the opposite side under the trimming, and npon the hair, The marmutte is a blond lace hair handkerchief, put far back upon the head, and tied carelessly under the ohi", i MVKE AND MATERIALS OF EVENING DRESS, Besides those heavy silks which belong only to winter, but which are, however, in the greatest favour, we see several drees of ,(uthL Nnhemire and M?M.<.«?Mef/?,i,of new paterns.

We ob- served that a good many are made close to the shape Rcro", the uust, butdrawndown with a little fulness by ornamental clasps upon the shoulders, which, as well as the back, continue to be very much exposed. Short sleeves are the most numer ous: they are either of the double beret kind, or else they form a single bouffant, which is covered with a mancheron consisting of two falls of blond" lace. Black lace dresses are coining much into favour; they are for the most part made with pointed bodies. HMAD-DRESSES IN EVENING DREss,-Caps, hats, and turbans are all in request, the prettiest among- the first are of blond lave, very small, and tiimmed on the right side with a bouquet of vmrabmit. the tips of whit h are of a deeper colour than the rest of the band.

SiB)—Having heard some rumours respecting the strange and awful visitation under which Lord Henley has been for some time past suffer iug iu consequence of his declared hostility to antheins, solos, duets, &o., I took the liberty of making enquiries at Ills Lordship's home this morning, and lose no time in transmitting to you such particulars as I could collect. It is Mid that I the screams nf his Lordship, under the operation of this nightly concert (which is no doubt some trick of the radicals) may be heard all over the neighbourhood.

5>piiit Of tf)C JjiuiiUc journals. THE MINISTRY. Within the last few days, reports have prevailed of an approaching dissolution of the present Ad. ministration. Lords Grey and Prougliain are said to have long differed on some important points of domestic policy; and we are assured that an evi, dent.coolness is perceptible in the demeanour to- wards each other of these Noble Lords, even in public. A few days ago, a Tory Evening Paper stated, very confidently, that J.d Althorp and JUr, Ponletl Tbompson had resigned but thisstatemeiu has been contradicled with an air of official autho- rTIy by a 1\] ¡I/i'lerialvening Journal. A Mo?ning Pape,r, which is-underjtood to represent the views of an influential party in the Cabinet-gave strength to rumours of an impending change, by a few days ago recommending the Ministers to resign; but the a d vice was Inpothetically given-it was quali- fied hy an if Whatever may he the case with re gard to the precise truth of any of the various re- ports now in on the interesting subject of the stability of Eail Grey's Administration, we happen to know that the Whigs do not, at the pre- sent moment, feel by any means secure in office; and we should not be surprised to hear, in the course of only a very short period, of important changes, Indeed, the public at large may perceive in the po lic) pursued by Ministers since the commencement of the pressent Session, evident indications of IVeak, ness, which to say nothing of the" split" behind the curtain, may well warrant an expectation of a break-up. We helieve that the present Adminis- tration is, geuerally speaking, honest, and we are sure that the majority of its Members are anxious to promote the welfare and to secure the liberties of their country and though we cannot approve of all their measures, we should be sorry to hear of the resignation of Earl Giey and his friends at so early a period of the first Session of our Reformed Parliament. We hope that time will-be given for a further development of the views of Ministers on the important subjects of Church Reform in Eng land, Corporation Reform, and the renewal of the Bank and the East India Charters, ere the country shall pass a iinaljndgment on the meritsoftlie pre- sent Cabinet. Still, while there is no chance of this country being Rgain subjected to the withering. domination of the Tories, we should not loolton the resignation of Earl Grey and his friends, as a na tional calamity. Plenty of able and, honest and, pa. triotic men may be found to carry on the public at- fairs of this country, and we have no doubt that 1st the present Minislers resign when they may, their places can be filled without deti-iinent to the free- dom and happiness of Great Britain -11Lhi natch. THE IRISH DISTURBANCE DILL. Once more the discussinn on the Irish Disturb- anees 'Suppression Bill is adjourned. An effort was tnade to cl?)? the debate night, but after two divisions of ?86 to 68, od, 468 to 63, it was found necessary to adjourn the debate till Mon- day. Such is the ominous commencement ol a system of policy which the peculiar difficulties of Ministers have" imposed on Ihem, They stand between the penpte anellh" aristocracy and hier- rarchy; they wish to be on good terms with both, but, unfortunately, they who hail the measures of rigour hate the measures of concession, and they who might be pacified by a large and liberal mea- sure 01 concession are afraid that the rigorous nicasuies will not he followed by concessiulh To us it has always appeared that Ireland will for years be a rock on which every Administration is in danger of shipwrecking. When, for instance,, Mr. Stanley disclaimed, on the part of the Govern ment, any intention to introduce a measure of poor laws for Ireland, did the Right Hon. Gentle mail assign the real reasons for that determina- tion ? No, 110. We would not insoll thc Right Hon. Gentleman by pretending for a moment to believe that he and the most of his colleagues are not perfectly satisfied that without a provision for the poor there can never be peace and good order in Ireland. But to such a measure the Squire- archy are opposed; and no Ministry can- hope to carry in the House of Lords a measure against which the Squirearchy have set themselves. This is, of course, the reaf reason for the delay, and the reasons assigned arc mere pretexts. We allow for the difficulties of Ministers, but we wish the ,people to understand what the truth is. Through (Jut this diseussiou there has heen an abundant display of cleverness, an abundant mastery of all the commonplaces of debate, and bandying about of the words liberty, law, property, order; words of a convenient latitude of meaning for debates,- ¡ There ean I", 110 Ilou!,t there is little order in Ire- land, in the sense altaehed to order in England- that the law of the mid ight ruffian is more power- ful than the law of the Staiute book. Thcie is little use in disputing whether Ireland is more ur less disturbed now than it usually is; it is always but too iiiiiel) disturbed; and we falie the exist- ence of continued disturbance, in one quarter or other, to augur a much more deeplyseated cause than the efforts of agitation It is astonishing how a mall like Lord John RusscJl can allow himself to talk in this manner:—"When Parliament met alter the vacation, it saw the necessity of bringing in a Bill grallling Catholic Emancipation, and soon after of gialiting full powers to the Lord Lieutenant to put down the Catholic Association. It was expected that the Association would have ceased as soon as emancipation was acceded But no the power the person before mentioned held in consequence of the denial of Catholic claims, was not withdrawn from, him by the Irish people. .Throllgh gratitude, or through some other lI1oliro, they still adhered to him, and were preparell to adopt whatever measures he advised. That power and influence ha still holds, alld wished seemingly to retain it, from w hat motives it was not easy to divine." Lord John reminds us of the Woodman in Moliere, who insisted that no person should he hungry when his belly was full. Was it not oil. derstood by all reflecting persons when emancipa- tion was acceded to the Irish, that this was merely the removal of on, obstacle wihicht stood in the way of all attempts to redress the wrongs of the Irish people? The diseases and disorders canned by ages of oppression and misgovernment re- mained and yet remain and it is these that give to the agitator the power he still possesses. There remained a people without a home —for law op- poses, in the shape of poor-rates, no harrier to the exactiolls or the caprioe of the owneis of the soil. There remained a sinecure Protestaut Church for a Catholic p ople, burdened besides with the pay. ment of the millisters of theirown religion, There remained the evil of tidies, the evil of Church cess, the evil of Gjand Jury jobbing; in shon, Ireland I'emainell, froll1 one ex-tremity lo-the other, one great ahuse, Emancipation instea,1 of putting down agitation, yvas calculated to increase it.- Emancipation loosened the hands or the Catholics, and leaving the abuses, gave them increased power to attack them. If I alii bound hands and feet, and a weight is placed on me, I must per forae remain quiet; but if my hands are loosened, I naturally endeavour to use them to remove the pressure. it was yvell observed by Mr. Henry Lyttoii Bulwer, in answer to what fell 1'1'0111 Mr. Macauley 00 Thursday oiuht- His Bon, Relative, (Mr. E. 1" Bulwer) voted against the address, on the grounds that it was impossible to pass a vote of approval on measures ef coercion, without knowing" hat measures of conciliation were to attend upon it. And now, said the Hon. and Learned Member, is it not in- consistent, that, having given you measures of eoneiliation as well-as measures of coercion, you still vote against us? His Hon. Relative might have been anxious to know two-things—whether the measures of conciliation would have preceded the measures of coercion and whether, if they did so, they would have been of that large and ample kind that would have rendered those of a different description unnecessary; In that case there would have heen no coaxing in the neck -tie coaxing might have rendeied the spurring unnecessary." Ministers, we fully believe, are sincerely desirous of doing good to Ireland and we have already said we are sensible that the difficulties with whicn they have 10 contend, are very great indeed. But do not let us deceive ourselves with the idea that good intentiolls alone can tranquillize Ireland. Do not let us suppose that law and order (Ian be enforced where the body of the people are utterly wilhout protection. What'la.. "an, protect one class without protecting ail? Ministers-may not feel themselves strong enough to grapple with the Squirearchy of Ireland but till they establish poor rates iu Ireland, there can be no peace, 110 f ile pe,)I) I be kll,t do,, order. The people may be kept down by coercive measures: but if something be not don" to protect the people, the coercion must be permanent, or the people will, on its removal, be more turbulent than ever. We attach less importance than sume of our contemporaries do, to the machinery of the Bill. If we could see any prospect of justice being doite to the people of Ireland—if we could see any hope that there would he a law, for the peasant as well as the 1:dlord-if, in short, we saw Minis- ters prepared with a foundation on which the edi- fice of social order could be securely reared, we should not cavil about the severity of the mea- sures claimed bv them. But after the declaration of Mr. Stanley, that they were impotent in as far as regards the laving the foundation of order and law, we look with distrust on the measures of se- verity, believing in our conscience that they are intended as a substitute for justice. The severity ought to follow the measures of amelioration, or, at all events, to be concurrent with thein and then we might hope it. would be efficacious. At present we look forward with doubt, anxiety and apprchenslon, for a system that commenoes with severity, and shrinks from justice, appears to us of evil omen. We cannot shut our eyes to the fact, that at this day there is not a nation throughout Europe in which justice to the people has been so much disregarded, as in the nation of eight millions, for which we are now preparing lnea sures of coercion.—Morning Chronicle. NEW CLRRENCR QUESTION. I It is said by those whe pretend i be in the se- cret, and on whose information we have reason to place reliance, that ministers intend bringing, in aI bill to make silver a legal tender to an unlimited amount. They intend also at the same time to al- low country bankers to issue one and! two pound notes to a limited extent, the limit to. be in the ra- tio- of their present eireulation. It is also- pro posed to allow the London backers the privilege of issuing five pound notes; and of course those of a higher value. If this information be correct, a more useful inea sure never was proposed for a distressed country It will. he oil to the machinery of the state. It would give an- impetus to trade. It would raise wages, and enable the labourer to pay his taxesand enjoy many comforts of which they arc at present depriv- ed. All "e shall say is, that we will liail the mca sure with delight. But we beg that this rather unexpected, but at the same time most politic, measure may he co:is ilered as an explanation of some of the mysterious reports that have been current for the last few days. It is well known that loid Althorp ami Mr Pou lett Thomson are opposed to any alteration of the present I'licy have av"wed their oppo sitioll to any circulating paper medium of small notes. They haye reeorded their sentiments on this subject in so solemn a manner, and-under such peculiar circumstances, that should this plan be carried into effect they must retire from their pre sent situations in tlie ministry. Tlicy cannot re main if the country is to be relieved by a measure which casts a tilloii. their principles. The., must leave the ship wliid1 is destined to cruise in a climate which they consider pestilential and fa- tal. Let them go We must not perish in order to preserve their consistency. We must not the country to misery for the sake of their philosophy. No, Wilalever is for the public welfare wa mnft have, no matter whose opinions may be cast into the shade, If the issuing of paper be Loid G.ey's 'proposition, as we are told it is, and if making silver a legal tender he his, as we dare assure onr, selves it is, we tbaok the nolile earl, and implore him to carry his plan into effect, no matter who dissent from the plan, or retire from ofliec.

ASSESSED TAXES, Mr. Walter, iu presenting a petition to the House of Commons against the assessed taxes, muttered something ahout the inequality of the tuxes in <lueslioll We are 110 friends to the assessed'taxes; we think thein vexatious, impolitic, aud unjust (1, resects indiriituaU, and therefore we shall use our utmost exe,tiolls to rid the public of them; but, as we understand Nfr. Waller's (.omp!aillt, it is lhfair and unfounded, alld we shail never, if 1\0 eat) help it, allow any object* however desirable, to be pinsiied by u fair or fallacious mcans, even could such means promise success, whieh the V seldom (lo. The injustice which we fi ,d ill the assessed taxes is inseparable from all family tasa lion-iudeed 1'1'0111 all taxation upon necessaries — They burden poverty in propoition to the degree in which the subject is poor, ill isregard or tlie proper principle of taxation. The injustice, how- ever, of which ilir. Walter complains, if we elllll prebend him, is in our judgment nu injustice at aU, hut a very proper alld prfffilable ariaiigeinent for the public. It is thr.-that,the IWllsesoflloi,k men and gentlemen ill the country are rated pro portionahly much lower than the average of houses throughout town ami country. The prÍ1wiples in- volved ill Mr. Waller's complaint aie-fij-st, that every house ought to he taxed according to its wnith, which is true see it,, th.\t every house is yvoith what it has cost in blliJdillgor per haps what such a house would bring in Portland PlllrClnr the Regent's Paik, which is false. There is but one test of value in exchange- The worth of any thing Is just as much as it will hrim, If a man has. laid out twenty thousand pt)nnits upon a house^undcr circumstances whidl wo til prevent the house bringing more than £ IUOayear -a very common case with ootnitry IWU4Ies-ht ouht.to be rated for no mllre than I:ii)o a year, though the same house "oul,1 be properly ralcd at three or four times as much if standing in a fashionable pai t of' London. If we go higher, ihe im|>olicy ilSo-wt>1I asinjusliee nran excessive ratinc of.country mansions will become more apparent. Eaton Hall, the IIIlIusillll of the Marquis ol West minster, in Cheshire, is said to havoe cost nearly a million, the expenditure of which must have heen greatly hrnclicial to the neighbourhood in which it w as expended, as must also be the presence of a family occupying such a resi tence. Now, taking two per cent, as about the amount ..f; a..osscd taxes charged upcu the cost of a Loudoll hou>e—aod we believe that that is tii-ar the mark-the assessell laxes tn ho charged upon Eaton Hall would be no 'less thall £ 20,000 a,ycar-£:!O,OOrl a iear charge il upon a nobleman for having expended one million amongst his ooeighhonrs. and giving to his own country the advantage of the expenditure of his princely income. Does any olle suppose that the ¡\11"1nis IIf Westminster would have built Eaton Hull, if, besides the money sin k in building it, the structure was to saddle him wiih a rent charge of £ 20,UI10 a-year, of which he could rid,himself only by burning the house? We say, of which lie could rid himself only by burning the house; for, mag- nificent as the building may be, we are perSI}¡\eù that nobody would give more for it than five thou sand a veat- in rent anti taxation too; this five thousand a year being just twenty five per cent, upon the assessed; taxes of the structure, as JIr, Walter's principle would charge them. The case of Eaton Hall is more or less the case of all the great mansions in the kingdom and the dlèet of lating these mansions according 10 costof trl\et u' 1', instead of rating them according to worth in the market, would be to desolate all these mansions, to pirevont any successors being raised to them, and promote absenteeism in its widest extent. It is to be remembered also, that if the country houses of noblemen and gentlemen are not over- rated, the owners of these houses have to pay taxes ge-neraliv for town houses, and al ways for servants, carriages, horses, &c. from which laxes the. mas. of Iheir fellow subjects arc flee; while the higher classes pay move than a proportionate share of all indirect imposts, We are no flattcrcrsof the aristo- cracy, but we owe it to justice to acknow ledge that, whatever their transgressions,they have never sinned m sparing the purses of their order.—Standard.

They have been saved from the sowings of those I received from yon upon experiment, "lid for which I feel Imuch obliged. I thiuiv it <!iie to you, to end you the result of the e which I have had in comparing Bishop's pea ,iti? other varieties men I :).d below, all of which were sown on the same day, viz. the otli of April;, 1831. Bishop's pea. came into full pod on the 2d of'Jnly,». (I, in eighty eighty days; the early frame in 110,I.ys; Kni¡¡hl'F dwarf marrow in 146 days; and theSpanish dwarfi in 150 days. Thus there was a space of iffty, three days in favour of Bishop'sovor every other variety, even the early frame. The prodtlce uf IIbhop"s pea is full double that of the frame, and quite e qual in flavour when taken early; the po Is are short, but abundanlly. numerous; aulit being dwarfs* their blossoms forma most elegant border. The seed from them is- most easily saved, even from sowings made on the 4th of June. They require only short stioks, about one foot from the ground; as an early variety, they are of first rateexcellence. This pen was raised originally from-an impregnat- ed blossom of the Spanishi dwarf. By the way, the Si-anish dwarf is an excellent pea, but not | early and. if compared with Knight's dwarf marrow, sinks into insignificance. There %va? mne.
