Mathews attempted an apology and explanaion , but nothing would satisfy the affront . A c » wd gathered round—most of the spectators tnew Mathewsby aght , and were laughing at theuntovard event . On hearing the name of Mathews mentimed , the old gentleman became doubly incensed and would not be convinced that he had not been ™ ly and wantonly insulted .

Gelebsated Paiwtess . —One must confess shatif the poets were an order of beings of too ereat sensibility for this world , the painteS laboa ^ efSu moi under this malady of genius . Zoppo , a sculptor , having accidentally broken the cheMW ™ M * efforts , destroyed himself . Chendi poisoned himself because he was only moderately applauded for the decorations of a tournament . Louis Caracci died of mortification because he could not s ' et ' right a foot in a fresco , the wrong position of which he did not perceive till the scaffolding waa takes away . Cavedone . lost his talent from grief at hjajeon ' s death , and begged his bread from want of commissions : Schidone , inspired with th » passion of play , died of despair to have lost all in one night . There was one
who languished , and was no more , seeing the perfection of Raphael . Torrigini , to avoid death at the hands of the Spanish Inquisition , put an end to himself , having broken to pieces his own statue of the Virgin ; an avaricious hidalgo , who had ordered H , niggling at the price . Bandinelli died from losing a commission for a statue ; Daniel de Voltierra from anxiety to finish a monument to Henry IV . of France . Cellini frequently became unwell in the course of his studies , from the excitement of Mb feelings . When one sums up the history of painters with the funouBand bloody passions of a Spagnoletto and Caravaggio , Tempesta and Calabreze , one must suppose all their sensibilities much stronger than those of the rest of mankind . —The Real and the Ideal .

DiSTsvcnos of Bread Food bt Distillation . — Strangely deluded indeed are those legislators who view the revenue derived from the sale of intoxicating liquors as a . soiirce of national prosperity . The destruction of grain alone , independently of the serious evils arising from intemperance , doubtless , more than preponderates over any benefit derived from a system so manifestly immoral ia its nature and tendency . The report of th& . late Parliamentary inquiry m drunkenness , amooMfcber injurious resulti of tb © system , includes "the destruction of an immense amount of wholesome and nutritious grain , given by a bonntif ul Providence for the food of man . which is now converted by distillation into a poison f ' arid after looking to the acknowledged fact that M
spirituous liquora are always in every case , and to the smallest extent , deleterious , pernicious , or destructive , according 10 the proportions in which they are taken into the system , " the reports adds , " so that not only an immense amonnt of human food is destroyed , whilst -thousands are inadequately fed , but the food is destroyed , in such a manner as to injure greatly the agricultural producers themselves , for whose gain , but for this perverted and mistaken use of it , there would be more than twice the demand for the use of the now scantily fed people , who would then have healthy appetites to consume , and improved means to purchase nutriment for -themselves and children in grain , as well as in all the other varied productions of the earth . —From Bacchus , a " Prize Essay . "
Oraxges a > td Cofpbe . —Of all the new enjoyments of which the knowledge is acquired by a visit to the intertropical regions , those that reach us through a sense which in the Old World is productive of as many painful as pleasurable emotions are , in my opinion , the most exquisite . Without leaving Europe , a traveller may learn how delightful it is to take his early walk in an orange-grove during the season when the trees are in bloom ; the gardens of the Tuileries may give him a faint idea of it just before the ancient denizens of the orangerie have been : despoiled of their crop of blossoms that the
distiller may convert them into orange-flower water . But the fragrance of the Tuileries is as inferior to that of the Moorish gardens of the Alcazar at Seville as these last , with all the care bestowed on them , are excelled by some neglected orange-grove in Cuba j or St . Domingo . Nor is the rich fragrance of the orange-grove to be compared for a moment with the aromatic odours of a coffee p lantation , when its hundred thousand trees have just thrown out their unrivalled display of jesBamine-like flowers , reminding you of what you may have read in Eastern fable of the perfumes of Araby the Blest . —Mrs . Turnbull's " Cuha . "

THE " 718102 ? OF LIBEBTF . I dreamt a dream ; ft m eventide ; And the « m in his setting gkry had -died ; The xeyfcyr flew lightly over the plain , And Used ti » floWera and golden grain ; And they bent t * his cfess with gentle grace , And gazed on hu -wing as away he passed ; Then sinking to afl&nce , as day was closing , They breathed a farewell and lay reposing . I looked again ,- bat a host was there , * Wlfcre the com had been and the flowteU fair ; And the eVning " B sett perfume was gone , And the flow e rs had vanished every one -, And a sigh arose , as the voice of death , When he nreepeth by witb hispoia ' nous breath And high above red banners were streaming , And below the bristling bayonet gleaming .
And I heard a eraah of meeting foes ; Neither shout nor groan on the gloom arose , Bat a deadfy warfare seemed waging there In fiQenee—bo wounded rent the air With nmnariy shrieks . - The artiHerjr , Like thunder , boomed inrnnrrmtfr ; Unechoed , the musket Sash once seunded , Then failed the report whew the shot rebounded . I saw ons banner waving high , And its motto was " glorious liberty . " The standard hearer was gaunt and wan , But the dread of Famine urged him on ; His long arm swept a gory blade Which he whirTd in fury o ' er his head ; And it fell dealing death-blows before him Then reeking rose in triumph o ' er him .
Behind him . followed a motley band ; Stern was each brow , and fierce e&ch hand . The snorting steeds before them fled , -Si tlity strode over heaps of gory dead . Thepistol flashes -were drowned in gloom , Whkh e ' en "Virtue ' s eye could not illume ; And the jewelled cowards fled before them As the death-winged lead shot whirring o ' er them . Tie corpses around fell thick and fast , As withered leaves at chin winter ' s blast ; And fiercely the steads plashed on in blood , And the ground was drenched with the crimson . flood ; Aiid aoagh ^ -was hmd bat the breathing hard ¦ Of th « psntiag 3 ifi » e , or his - warrior lord ; And above , th ^ togel of Pity wssoghing . And shedding ha tears o ' er the dad and the . tying .
But this h « T « ily ^ ew . refreshed not the Sead , As they lay on the . trampled and gwy bed ; Nor released from the mart of the mart *! wound The host of fch ^ dyinfc that lay « rpand . And fierce * and hostile tiie combat grew , Tin ih * host . was dwindled and weak and few , And-the rutixless-Bpesr and sword were tiring , And strength was decaying-anfi T&lrnr expiring . Then a soeteor gleamed in the gloomy air ; A red fierce light , like a falling . star-It Bhjst tram , its lofty place ea high , And "burst * miS this gory anarchy . It fell on the earth and exploded loud , As a'thnnder vast amid the crowd . The hone and his rider and all tMnpi blended , Dissolving in li ^ kt , » ad my drejm was ended .
Then bent on my view a raOitj . Fair Wisdom ' s , throne was exalted high ; Th' oppressor had ceased , and the slave ' had crept From his dungeon of filfh , ana his rh *^* bewept And the loathsome rags of poverty ~ Wot exchanged for the Test of the gloriens free ; Far the -worm had tamed on the foot that crushed it Bat Anarchy slept , for Peace had hushed it . 3 risW , Feb . 21 st , 1840 .

FROST . Wfcto tears the -weight on every ride Of sneea and threats , a mingled tide ? Who lifts his head against a hast Of foes malign ? undaunted Frost . ' He looks serenely on the brood Of iuaves , corrupt , that seeks hia blood ; He heard hia doom , a gory grave , Bat no faint sigh the patriot gave . There comes , but aot from man , a voice That makes tea thousand hearts rejoice . The bloodhounds have o ' erleap'd their prev , And mercy tears his e&aim away <
They set the toils , they mark'd the game , The lion ' s caaght , yet baulks their aim ; A mouse may set a lion free When Heaven commands the liberty . And shsU soft mercy ' s voloe be drown'd By foemeB ' s malice nnriffring round ? Shall tiie dove , 'scap'd one ¦ murdTons Ire , By a retreated Worw , expb& ?

Itoia-N 3 A 5 D AitBtrsH . —The savages now . ceased "P etting , and the party that was concealed heard !™ » v W Md Swarded movements of those who were © a . the bank , as they pushed the bushes aside in weir wary progress . It was soon evident that the ^ tter had passed the cover ; but the group in the ^ ater gfall remained , scanning the shore with eyes taat glared through their war-paint like coals of ffjmgfire . After a pause of two or three minutes , these three began also to descend the stream , though iV ^ f x ?*^ * ' M men m 0 Te Wfl 0 look for an oojeet that has been lost . In this manner they passed toe artificial screen , and Pathfinder opened his month in that hearty but noiseless laugh that nature and habit had contributed to render a peculiarity of « ae man Ha triumph , however , was premature ; ior the last of the retiring partyjust at this moment
, tasting a loot behind him , suddenly stopped ; and nxed attitude and steady gaze at once betrayed the aPPaJling fact that some neglected buBh had awakened his suspicions . It was , perhaps , fortunate for the concealed , that tbe warrior who manifested these tearful signs of distrust was young , and had still a reputation to acquire . He knew the importance of discretion and modesty in one of bis years , and most of all did he dread the ridicule and contempt that would certainly follow a false alarm . Without recalling any of his companions , therefore , he turned < m nis own footsteps ; while the others continued to aeaeend the river , he cautiously approached the bushes on whichhis lpoks were still fastened as by a cram . Some of the-leaves whieh were exrjosed t ^
the sun had droeped * little , and this slight departure from the nsual natural laws-had caught the quick eye of the IndiafrT for « o -practised and « nte do the senses of the savage become , more especially when he is on the war-path , that trifles apparently of the most insignificant sort often prove to be clnes to lead him to his object . The trifling of the change which had -aroused the suspicion of . this jouth , was an additional motive for not acquainting Jus companions with his discoverr . # H > fald he really aetect aajthing , his gbry would be the greater for being unshared ; and should-he not , ^ e might hope to escape-that derision which the young Indian so much dreads . Then there were the dangers of an ambush » nd surprise , to which every warrior of the woodR is
Keenl y alive , to render his approach slow and cautious . In consequence of the delay that proceeded from these combined causes , the two parties had descended Borne fifty or sixty vards before the yonng ^ SS ? as again neV : enough to tbe bushes of the mhfinder to toucH them with his hind . Notwithstanding their critical situation , the whole party befi nd the cover had their eyea fastened on . the working countenance of the young . Iroauoiae , who was agitated by conflicting feelings . Tirst came the eager hope of obtaining success where some of the most experienced of his tribe had failed , and with it
a degree of glory that had seldom fallen to the share of one of his years or a brave on his first war path ; ^ nen followed doubts , as the droopiBg leaves seemed to rise again , and to revive in the currents of air ; and distrust of hidden danger lent its « xciting feeling to fceep the eloquent features in play . So very | % a t , however , had been the alteration produced ° J the heat on bushes of which the stems were in the Wa , that when the Iroquoise actually laid his il& &d on the leaves , he fancied that he had been deceived . A « no man ever distrusts strongly without *« ing all convenient means of satisfying his doubts , ¦ owever , the young warrior cautiously , pushed aside

Philpots the First .- ^—The following passage , which is extracted from the reign of Queen Mary , in Hume ' s History of England , is curious as showing the remarkable extent to which the odium theotogi ottm was carried-in that anhappy ' period . — 'There was one Philpots , Archdeacon of Winchester , inflamed with Buch zeal for orthodoxy , that , having been engaged in dktoute with ' an'Arian , he tpit in his adversary ' s face to shew the' great detestation which he had-entertained against that heresy . He afterwards wrote a treatise to justify this unmannerly expFeseiGn-ef zeal : he-said , that be was led to
it in order to relieve the sorrow conceived from such horrid blasphemy , and to signify how unworthy such a miscreant was of being admitted into the society of any Christian . " * Philpots" Wasf a Protestant ; and falling now into the hands of people as zealous as himself , but more powerful ,, he was condemned to the flames , and suffered at SmithfieVd . " It is a consolation to reflect that our lot has been cast in better times ; that we . have bo longer a PhilpoV in the church * ready to spit his venom upon those who may oppose his intolerance ; and that even should ¦ oodioos a bigot exist , be is now n 6 V likely to- b * made either the instrument tf persecution or the Yirtim .

. "' Telegraphio Despatch . "' Bayonne , Feb . 29 , nine o ' clock , a . m . M In co . nseque ^ e of grave disorders in the bosom of tbe . Chamber , and of attempts at insurrection ( with »» O , Madrid has been declared in a state of siege : On the 24 th the session of the Cortes was suspended . l At the departure of the courier Madrid was tranquil . '_ u This intelligence produced a considerable sensation here . The Spanish funds , the Active Debt in particular , opened at a considerable decline , as compared witUjhe closing price of yesterday . ( From the times of Tuesday . )
The Paris papers of Sunday ( which havereach « d » w by express ) copy from the Moniteur Parisienoi the preceding night a second telegraphic despatch from Bayonne , dated one o ' clock of that day , whicn , it will be seen , goes t 9 remove the alarm whioh the first had necessarily occasioned . It is to the following effect : — "The General Commanding the 20 th Military Division op the Minister op Wab . "The Ambassador writes me , under date the 25 th of February , that the emeu / e had not extended beyond the environs of the Hall of the Cortes , and had no ramifications among the population , who remained tranquil . "The whole of the 25 th passed over without diaorder , and Madrid remained perfectly oalia . "
The Ministerial question had so completely absorbed the attention of our Paris contemporaries , that this extraordinary affair remains almost unnoticed in the journals before us . " Here , " says one of our private letters , " is a telegraphic despatch published immediately before the commencement of business on 'Change , admirably calculated , if not positively intended , to produce a depreciation of Spanish stock , and a few hours later , that ia when the effecthad answered the expectation or the purpose , c » m « s out another to show that no ground iad existed for alarm ! Let us hope , that if this were a Btook-jobbing manoeuvre , it was the last ooupot a functionary about to be ( as he deserved ) thrust out ofoffioe . " '••" -

Hawaaasm ^^^^ TO THE EDITOR OP IHE NORTHERN STAB . LETTER III . , ON ^ GLJSH , BANKINCL ? Paper money , is . stroagth in tiie beginning , but weakness , in the wA ^ T-Trdnddtwn frdm the French ; ., . . . .. .,, „ . . . .. . '" .- ' , . . . " ' ; Sib , —A' celebrated Frenchman , the inventor of the present syBtem of banking , once made use of the above sentence when interrogated by ; the King as to the effect likely to be produced by tneestablishment of a National Bank , The King in answer asked him "How it was that he , the banker , had become sorioh ! " " Why , " he replied , « I have found the people foolish enough to bring me their gold and take back my paper . " "Then , " . eaid the King , " we will have a bank !* ' But be warned , Sire , I aminsolyentrf I attempt to pay back the gold lent , and my msolvenoy will ruin a few others ; if you turn banker your insolvency will ruin the nation ?'
—How fearfully haa this doctrine operated in England . The curse of paper money and banking now blasts the constitution of society , and its attendant curse , the practice of usury , has not only been rt ** *? ° f »? incalculable deal of mischief ; but it BtUlfoatere the evils it has engendered and holds the whole nation in a state of subjugation . We have now no less than ¦ 400 banks in this kiagdom , with the great Moloch of mammon , the Bank of England , at their head . ¦ . - ¦ Ti ! S J ° C England owes its origin to the poverty of the English nation in 1694 , when "the good King William , of pious and immortal memory " had spent the nation ' s resources in endeavouring to put down the Jacobites , and wanted money to carry on the war with France . He consented to
incorporate a set of fellows , under the name of " Tbe Uovemoraad Company of the Bank of England , " on condition that , thoy , the Company , would lend him £ 1 , 506 , 000 ; for which sum £ 100 , 000 of interest , at eight per cent ., had to be paid by the nation every yearso long as the debt existed . This may be said to be the origin of the National Debt . So far ,, the National Debt and the Bank of England aretyrias of mischief ; or to complete the Tria nmcta i n uno , the Costoms and Excise Laws may be added , for they were made in the 5 th' and 6 th William and Mary , to pay the interest of the £ 1 , 500 , 000 borrowed by the Government , and other exigencies of the state . The object of the Company is defined bv the 28 th
section ot the 5 th William and MarsV « aP . 20 , July 27 i * , 16 a 4 which reoitesj TKa ' t ^ tKeiCompany may not trade m anything except Bills of Exchange and bullion ; but it may lend money out at interest , on goods , wares , or merchandise , and sell the same if not redeemed by the time agreed upon , or within three months from the date of the deposit . " So , henceforth , we may imagine a huge sign , the whole length of Threadneedle-street , stuck ap against the bank , on which is inscribed , " Money lent on goods ( honestly come by ) by Abram Newland . Licensed to take in plate , " and believe me ,: Sir , the vaults of this great pawnshop contains more than one strong oak chest , in which is deposited the family plate and jewels , and title deeds , too , of some of Eheland s Droudost
nobles . The bank has ever been the main prop of the Government ; the exclusive privilege enjoyed by the company have been the means of making them immensely wealthy , and the Government , in times of embarassment , have been necessitated to borrow at different times large sums of money ; these obligations have secured to the company a perpetual enjoyment of their monopoly , in faot , hath bound the Government band and foot to the bank ; so far is the Government , of England dependent upon the bank , that upon several occasions when the bank has been hard run , and on the point of stopping payment , orders in Council have set aside the law of debtor and creditor , and allowed the bank to suspend cash payments during their
embarrassments . Upon all occasions of a renewal of the Bank Charter the Government have been obliged to yield additional powers to the Company . In consequence " of the loans advanced to the Government by the Company in 1938 , when the Charter waB last renewed , the Government owed them £ 14 , 553 , 000 , the price of such obligations was a clause in the act , ' making bank notes a legal tender everywhere except at the bank in London , and its branches ; also a clause prohibiting any company of more than six persons , within sixty-five miles of London from issuing any bill of exchange , or promissory note , payable on demand ; these , and other monopolies formerly enjoyed by the Company , yield immense profits , the amount of which is ; shewn in
evidence before a committee of the House of Lords , 1819 . Mr . Ricardosays , " The average amount of Of prt jV employed for a period of nineteen years by the JBank , has been £ 11 , 642 , 000 , on which sum a profit of £ 29 , 280 , 636 has been realised in the same perwd . It may bo aeked , how are , such enormous prpfitB rawed ! The answer of the Frefich banker tells you ,, that fools , deposit their hard cash , and take back promise to ' pay : thfs brings us at once witWn the arcana of banking . The Bank is privileged to issue promisBory notesi or : bank notes , for all eums -above fijw pounds , Th © average amount of noUs . inoircuHation . will 3 » about £ 18 , 006 . 000 ; not one farthing , of interest ^ is ' paM by the Bank to any hbldeiP ^ f their note * ¦ " N ow as thase
notes aw ntid * a legal'tender , they bear the value of money in all mercantile transactions ^ and are as effieient for the time a § gold . is in making purchases : Ciiaaequently , thiaetes fiauedby the Bank aremortb totbem £ 900 jDWv * beiDg five per cent , upon the amountof , bank notes in circulation . Here is so much profit to the Company , not takinginto account the profits ' . o'f notes destroyed by aacident or « therwise . whilst in circulation . Every s £ 5 note , including duty , and labour , and materials , does not cost ; the Company more than Is . 6 d ., consequently every note so lost , or destroyed , would yield a clear profit of £ 4 18 j . 6 d . Io the Company . Anotber great source of profit is in the pawn shop , where'they lend
oanK notes on " Goods honestl y come by" at five per cent ., and which they sell if not redeemed . Another very extensive Bource of profit is in discounting ; bilJa for their customers , the rates of dis ^ oount varying according to the presaureof the iitnes , spmetime&itransas high as * -. six . per cent ., and it has been much higher when money was scarce .: It is here where the grand junction betwixt the country bankeraf , ' money-mongers , stock-jobbers , and ltan-mongera is effScted . iind the slightest movement on the part of the banker in raising or lowering the rate of discount creates , an unsettled fluctuation amongst them ; for as the demand for money is created , all kinds of Btock is thrown into the market , trade becomes sacrificed , distrust and panics succeed ,
and the whole of the paper credit becomes shaken . Another source of profit is in effecting exchanges betwixt one nation and another ; another in receiving deposits in gold , paying two , or two-and-a-half per cent , for the use of it , turning it over in the pawnshop , and other departments of the Bank at an increased rate of interest , and paying the depositor back in " promises to pay , " bearing no interest at all ; another source of profit is in receiving Exchequer Bills on account of the Government , who is too poor to pay them off , paying the holder in promises to pay , " and receiving the interest upon * « em at two-and-a-half per cent , per diem , until the Government get leave from Parliament to fund them ; this is the way they help the lame dog over
the stile . Another soarce of profit is in receiving the gold and silver from the Savings' Banks , deposited there by Billy working men , and turning it over in the way of trade . Another source is the receipt of £ 158 , 141 19 s . 3 Jd . from the taxes for managing the grand swindle , which it affects * -to do for nothing ; another infamous source of profit is in Stock Jobbing , both on their own account , and on account of Government . Inevery way is the English Government trammelled by its connection with the Bank . When the present Charter was granted in 1633 , our Government owed to the bank £ 14 , 553 , 000 . This was to have been reduced to £ 19 , 914 , 750 . This reduced sum ; is termed Bank Stock , which bears interest at three per cent , as long as it exists , and that interest is paiC « xt of the taxes ; this Js National
Debt too . I find we are now charged with interest upon £ 11 , 015 , 100 debt due to the Bank , besides interest at three per cent , upon £ 836 , « 36 of Bank Annuities , created Ial 728 ; this too is part of the V grand swindle . " With all ^ eir apparent wealth , they have b « eu compelled to . stop payment jhir-XKEk- ' ,, times since 1797 ; or in plafn English , the Company have been obliged not' only to snut up the pawn-shop , but to refuse to pay itetit just debts . ¦ Bw following statement will shew how rotten is the great depot . of pa . per money , and how poor a crutch the paper System is to prop up a falling Government , and aa insolvent nation . The followiBg bank restriction acts have , been passed to prevent the Bankfrom doing that which it never can do , settle its Promises to pay ** , in gold , and pay back the depositions in hard cash-when it never had half the amount of bullion in its possession for such
purposes :- ^ ,, 1-26 Feby ; 1797 . 2- ^ 3- May , 1797 . ¦ 3-r -22 aane 4 J-797 . - 4—30 Nov . 1797 . . 5 ^ 36 ' ApriI , 1802 . * 6—28 Feb . 1803 . 7—15 Dec .. 1893 . 8 ^ 18 July , 1814 . 0-23 Mar . 1815 , Waterloo year . 10-21 May , 1816 . 11—28 May , 1818 . 12-26 April , 1819 , Peterioo year . 13— 2 July , 1819 .

HOUSE OF COMMONS . - * Vu % , Feb . 28 . Mr . LEADER wished to put a question to the Noble Lord the Secretary for Colonial Affairs . The not ! c « respecting Frost , Jones , and Williams , had appeared upon the . votes several times . He had attended the House every day on which that notice had appeared upon the votes , and he had done all he could to bring the question on before the House / but he had been unsuccessful in that endeayour . But he did not acettse the Government of having put him off , because ha was really induced once or twico to put off the motion ,, in consequence of representations made to him , by the Counsel for the prisoners , that there-were negociatlons pending between them and the Govern ment , which , might be damaged by his bringing Mm
question before the House . Being influenced by that opinion of Counsel , of course he would not have proceeded with bis motion even if he had the opportunity of bringing the question before the House . He understood that- the prisoners had already left the country . He did not mean to say that the Government had nota right to send them out of the country if they pleased ; but he thought they might have waited a few days longer in order to give the House of Commons an opportunity of expressing an opinion on the subject , and they ought not to take it for granted : * that the House of Commons would agree with them . However , as the prisoners bad sailed , and as the question in israe ,
which wasa constitutional question , and one affecting th » administration of the law , -wouldnot be at all prejudiced by his putting off his motion , he . wished to give notice that he should bring the question , before t * te " House on the first notice night in the wieiek after next He , therefore , merely wished to ask the Noble J » ord if it was true that the prisonera had sailed , and if the Noble 'Lord told him they had sailed' for their destination , then he -wished to give notice that lie ' should endeavour to have the question at issue discussed in the House on . Tuesday week . If the prisoners had not sailed tWen ae should feel justified in asking the House toi have the question discussed immediately . .
