      SCEAPS ON " ^ AR . Sign Board for the "War Office , at " Washington " , by Dr . Hush . — [ The Americans say that two dollars spent in works of benevolence do more good than two hundred dollars spent under the direction of the War Office . ] "In order to impress more deeply the minds of the citizens of the " United States with the blessings of peace , by contrasting them with the evils of war , let the following inscription be painted on the sign wbich'is placed over the door of the War Office , at Washington , -viz .:

      —An Office for Butchering the Human Species . A "Widow acd Orphan-Mating Office . A Broken Bone-M : king Office . A "Weeden Leg-Making Omee .

      NATIONAL GLORY ! The Conqueror . —Ask the conqueror who has risen to the sumrrit nf his ambition—who has tnnmphed over slaughtered thousanas—wrapped cities in flames—and hurk-d empires into ruins—ask him if he is happy I Let the characters of the gTetvttst heroes of ancient or modern times be consulted . What was Alexander the Great ? He earned his arms and his conquests wherever he thought there was an object worth his notice , and wept because be could not find anther world to conquer . He was to .-std by every tempest cf passion , and died in the m ; dst of his days , aud his eiiri was amongst fools . What was Pompty ? One " of the greatest . centrals that ever directed the Enman lc"inns . He

      rose to power and fame by the .-ui-ce .-s ol battles , acd sunk by the very means of his former aggrandizement—be bscine a fugitive frrm the swordwas assassinated by those on whom be had thrown himself for sa ety—and finally bis body , left unburied on the sands , was burnt " by an old * fisherman on a pile of rubbish .

      Extract from the examination of John Tzarzoe , a Caffre Chitf , before a Committee of the House 0 : Commons , 20 th Jane , 1836 : —Will aou mention the reason which induced you to refrain .

In the first place I am a Christian , and the word of God tells us not to JigA ' , or ta shed bivod—and that is the reason vthy 1 sat quiet J , - Coxtijtextal War 1 S 05 to ISO " . —In many parts ef Germany the desolation , by war , was , -o complete , ihat families , accustomed to affluence and comfort , Yfere obliged to support a miserable existence hy- eating grass ; in other distric-s , a * far as the eye could rt-ach , the whole country presented a frightful destrt—houses and villages in name ? , au < l not the Testige of a linD ? creature to be s ? en .

      The Soldier ' s Soliloquy at Blenheim . — The Duke of Marlborough observing a soldier leaning ptnsive 1 ^ on the butt of bis firelock , just after -victory ^ had declare ! itself in favour of the British arms" at Blenheim , aeeosttd him thus : — "Why so pad , my friend , after so glorious a vierory ? " " It may be glorious , " replied tbebravt fellow , _ "bat _ I am " thinking that all the blood I ha"ve * p ilt this day has only earned me fourpencz !" ( a soldier ' s pay in the reign of Qneen Anne , 1 / 04 . ) Leipzic Bones . —A ship laden with bones from Hamburgh , arrived some time since At Lossiemouth , in Scotland , the property of a farmer in Moravshire , and intended for manure . The master of the -vessel stattd that the boces were collected from the )! ains and marshes of Leipzic , snd were p ; irt of tie remains of the thousands of brave

      men who Jell in the saciiuinary battles fcujrla betwixt- France aud the allies in October , 1813 . What a cemmtrnt is this on military glory !—Bulli and Ch ' elteiUtam Gazette . — [ The subsidies to the continental powers during the late war , amounted to fourteen millions sterling , or upwards of 145 tons of gold , and the above is , we believe , almost the only diTidend received for these advance * . ] Burying the Dead at Waterloo . —A private letter from Morts , dated 14 th Julv , 1815 , ( 2 / days after the battle ) mentions the following horrible circumstance which attended burying the dead on the field of Waterloo : — " It is only four days since the ban ing of The dead bodies with which the field of the battle of Waterloo was strewed .

      Several -thousand carts bad been put in requisition ier this" operation in the department of Jemappe . After a lapse of ten , twelve , and even fifteen days , thEre were found among tbe dead carcasses great numbers of wounded who . impelled by madness or hunger , had eaten of the bodies of tbe men and horses that surrounded them . I say madness , because there were ? ome of them who even then cried , in their-dying agonies , Yive 1 'Empercur !'" Good Philosophy . —The doctrine is this—that we often complain that we have not what we take do pains-to . obtain . Among all the fine things Mrs . Barbauld wrote , she never wrote any thing better than her essay on the Inconsistency of

      Hcrnan Expectations . " Every thing , " says she , " is marked at a settled price . Oar time , onr labour , our ingenuity , is so much ready money , which we are to lay out to the best advantage . Examine , compare , choose , reject ; but stand to your own judgment ; and do not , like children , when , you have-purchased one thing , repine that you do not possess another , which you would not purchase . Would you be rich ? Do you think that the single point worth sacrificing every thing else to ? You -may then be rich . Thousands have become so from the lowest beginnings by toil , and diligence ^ and attention to the minutest articles of expense" and profit . But yon . must give up the

      pleasures of leisare , of an unembarrassed mind , and of a free , unsuspicious temper . You must learn to do hard , if not unjust things ; and as for the embarrassment of a delicate and ingenious spirit , it is necessary for ' you to get rid of it as fast as possible . Yon must not stop to enlarge your mind , polish your taste , ot refine your gf-ntiments ; but must keep on in one beaten track , without turning aside to the right hand or the left . ' But , ' you say , ? " I cannot submit-to drudgery like this ; I feel a spirit above it . ' 'Tis well to be above it then ; only do not repine because yon are not rirh . Is knowledge tbe pearl of price in your estimation ? That , too , may be purchased by steady application , and long , soli

      tary hours of study and reflection . ' But , ' says the man of letters , ' what a hardship is it that many an illiterate fellow , who cannot construe the motto on bis coacb , sball raise a fortune , and make a figure , wbileT possess merel y the common convenienc-ies of life ] ' W as it for fortune , then , that you grew pale over the midnight lamp , and gave the sprightly years of yonth to study and reflection ? You then have mistaken your path , and ill employed your industry . « What reward have I then for all my labour ? ' What reward ! A large , comprshensive soul , purged from -vulgar fears and prejudices , able to interpret the work- * of man and God . A perpetual spring of fresh ideas , and the conscious dignity of superior intelligence ! Good Heaven ! what other reward can you ask ? 'But is it not a reproaoh

      upon the economy of Providence , that snch & one , who is a mean , dirtj fellow , shonld have amassed wealth enough to buy half a nation ? ' Not in the least . He made himself a mean , dirty fellow , for that ^ e ry end . He has ^ aid his health , his conscience , and bis liberty for it . Do you envy him hiu bargain ? Will you hang yonr head in his presence , because lie outshines you in equipage and show ? lift up your brow with a noble confidence , an 3 gay to yourself , < I have not these things it is trne j but it is because I have not desired , or sought them ; it is because I possess something better . I have chospn my lot ! I am content , and satisfied . ' Ihe most ebiricteristie mark of a great mind is to cnoose " one object , -which it considers important , and pursue that ohject through life . If we expect the purchase , we mu 3 t pay the price . "

The private , interviews , promises , and threats , employed to procure evidence against the prisoners , whowere to be brought belore the regular tribunals of the country , were regarded as infamous , and irritated extremely the friends and partisans of the accused . Ihe appointments , not given to persons who came lromLiigland with Lord Durham , were chiefly contw-rred upon those of the . u British" partV . And this leaning ot the Government to the party of the minority was viewed with suspicion and anger , fbese remarks apply principally to Lower Canada . ¦

One remarkable instance occurred at Kingston , which proved thatif the juries of Lower Canada had popular sympathies , Sir George Artl . ur could not salel y put tne eoule under his rule in the jurybox . 'Ihe Honourable Colonel HenryDundas had gone beyond theletter of hisauthority , in imprisonlug lor seven days , without a Magistrate ' s warrant , the gaoler at Fort Duiidas , charged with aiding th > escape of some rebels-committed to : iis safekeeping ; the gaoler being a civil . nu . The aggrieved party broughthis action againstCulbnelDuniias for £ 1 , 000 the General

      , Attorney- defended the Colonel , and tlie J udge charged strongly in his favour : but the Jury gave the plain till ; £ 200 damages . The venlict is Tfg rded as a triumph over the Government , and evidence tha' to abet the escape of the rebels from Fort Duiidas was not considered a very heinous offence . 1 he execution of Lount and Mathews hud embittered the feeiiugs of the Liberals towards the . Government "; and the " . pi-nsuGUtiim" of th « ' American r jonioii of the population , by Governor Arthur and Ui .-s officials , by no means allayed their hostility . In both provinces , trade was nearly at a stand . I he b ; niks in Upper Canada were , in fact , bankrupt —unable to resume specie payments , though th « resumption in the United States wns universal . The

      crops were rsmonsiy damnged ; the value of real estates falling rapi-Jly ; immigration stopped , wink on the other hand a ; earlul process of depopulation was h ing on , multitudes quitting our colonies for thu United States . All along the frontier , ' preparations fur the transportation of arms and supplies to the disiiftected were made ; and it was much doubted whether the United States troops would prevent itthere was no doubt tbat such n duty -jrontd-he most displeasing to them . Secret socit-ttes were tbruiu ' d ill 1-over the two province . " * .. The le-iiijjee lt * a-ers . oi the French Canadians , it was said ,-discouraged the people lrom insurrection ; but i f was leaied tluit i . e . r ndvict ; would not be loll ' iwed , as thespi it '¦ I auimosity again . ^ t -th « ' > British " , party and the Government had increased in force and extent since fie suppression of ilw outbivak last winter . In Upper ( Ji . natla , too , the rrcojiiit ou-by Lord "Purham 01 the " Church , " in his reply to an address lrom the clergy , and the estiiNlisliment of er-dowed

      rectories—a measure which met with gener ; u reprobation when attempted some years * . {* , >—had dis-KUSteH the mass of the people ; lor the Episcopalians an- the smallest of all the sects . In every direction there wer ** elements ^)! discord , and the andcipatiou of a troubled winter was universal . The " British" party , up to the reception of the news lrom E .. gland that the Oruinatices had been disallowed . r « i ! ed at the Government for its lenienry v <> the rebels " : but when they found from Lord Durham ' s dispatch to Lord Glvivlg , that he aimed at s-Rtisfyiiig Sir John Colborne ami the British partv , their curses were changed to blessings ; and the Governor-General therefore will t'tnrn to this country with Orange letters of credit to Liira ' GIenelg . Mi ' s successor will be welcomed by the British patty ; for to this state matters have come , that tire « w . ijv " oi the minority" over the bulk of the population " must l > e maintained by the menus which they deiuaudforce .

      I hat a military despotism will be endured by the Canadians is nut expected . Trampled upon by thr power of Enylan-i , they hate yet the resource ot flight from oppression . The ' '' British" policy , perhaps , is to drive the French Canadians from tlu-ir country , aud colonize their lands with Eiigliahrm-n In this they may possil-ly -uccerd . The mode ot procedure , best adapted t « efiVct their purpose may be learned lrom Marshal I'askievi . tch , who is allowed to have been miiii > ntly successful , iu a-similar undertaking in Poland . Thu Alorniiix Chronicle refers to the treatment of Louisiana by the United Siat ^ s , as a precedent f > r swamping tbe " nation Canadiennt ' . " Would that the United Scatespolicy had been followed in Ciliiad ' a ,- or thitt it could now

      be followed : we imagine it would not alto » eiher harmonize witlr those interest * which the Chnmictc has represented for two or three years past , with more of fierce partisanship than any liberal journal in this country . The Americans forced no irresponsible Council of their own race on th . fi French population . They extended their own ' simple-and free political institutions to the new . ¦ " members of the Union . There wiis no minority supported by military force ; no Governor sent from AVasJiineton "; no interference with guaranteed and constitutional rights of the Loiiisianiaus . Their conduct was , in essential points , the reverse of that pursued by the British in Canada ; aud very different huv « been the results . There is an Amalgamation of rnces ,

      interest * , and poltical sympathies in Louisiana ; and n * little danger of insurrection , or quarrels to be settled in the field of battle ,, as in , M . issachusetts . The Anglo-Americans have gained the . ascendancy by means of superior enterprise and vigour , menral and bodily ; an . i in a great decree the French population has already been Arneric nizwj . In Canada , the two races arc ranged in bitter hostility to each other ; because the British minority , instead ot beiug lelt U > maVe its own way * has been patronised and encouraged by the Government at home in acting the part of conquerors—not tellow-citizeri !* Thus , while there is peace , with prosperity , in Louisiana , the Canadas are a prey to the evils ot intestine discord and forvign domination .

      It is d . flicult to say how far th « condition of the Colonies would have been improved-by the measures wkich Lord Durham was employed upon , when the iivelligence from Ku » lniid iuwrrtipied him . Four of those measures , we un- ' trstand , h-a-i reierence to the tenures of land , a general ' registry , free municipal institutions , and national education and Lord Durham probably assumed , that though his powers did not extend to any aUeration of the representative system , of enable him to execute bis scheme of a general confederation of the North American Provinces , he could have -effected

      administrative improvements , embracing all the above subjects by ordinances . Though no longer cunfident in his power to promulgate such , or nny laws , Lord Durham , it is understood , would not leave Canada until they were completed , as well as his general report on the Provinces ; in which case , he will not return to England quite so earl y as mentioned last week . It is also said to be his intention to ; have a personal interview with the American President at ' Washington , on the subject of the North-ea . -tevn boundary , and the mutual relations of . ' the British provinces and the United States

      The news by the Great Western made a stir among Ministers ; and rumours of changes in the Cabinet , as well as of the ' appointment of Lord Durham ' s successor , have been rife . Earl Spencer has been at Windsor j and there is a story that the Colonial Secretaryship was offered to him . He soon escaped , however , to Holkham , and more congenial pursuits ; and Lord' Glenelg remains where he was . The Duke of Richmond and Lord Normanby have both been mentioned as likely to go to Canada . The Irish Viceroy might naturally presume that bis experitnee in governing one turbulent country fit * him to rule another . But we guess that the Canadian republicans are not so easily coaxed into loyalty as the ^ hereditary bondsmen . ' They demand measures , scrutinize suspiciously the acts of men , and are not deluded by the smoothest professions nnd finest phrases that ever flowed from the lips of a Lord and a V ? big . —Spectator .

      M \ sterious Occurrence . —On Friday morning , about half-past six o ' clock , as Daniel Lambert , the lock-keeper of the Harnpsteadwroad-brid ge of the Kegent s Canal , was opening the lock , he discovered the body of a very respectably dressed female floating in the water ; He instantly ran and fetched a boathitcher , and got tbe body on shore . Life was quite extmct , althou gh it was evident the deceased had been but a short time in the water . The police stretcher was fetched , and the body was conreyed to St . Pancras worlihouse , where it remains to be owned and to wait the holding of the coroner ' s i M ^'» , ^ nM ..,-. : . ^ '

      nquest . The deceased appears to have been about twenty years of ape , of rather short stature , and stout fair complexion , and rather light hair . She was dressed in green flowered cotton gown , straw bonnet , without-a shawl , white cotton stockings , aud boots nearly new . She had no trinket * or money about her , nor any writings tending to discover who Phe was . There is a bruiss on the right side of her head , but whether inflicted before or after death has not been determined , A female answering the description of the deceased was seen on Thursday night walking up and down the road near to the bridge .

      SinguLAB Robbery . —Saturday night , about eleven , as a gentleman named Edward Keane was crossing from Duke-street , Lincoln ' s Inn Fit-Ids , towards the College of Physicians , he observed a man lying in the road , apparently suffering from illness . He fearing that the man would be run over if suffered to remain in that situation , got him up , and offered to assist him as far as Chancery-lane , near which place Mr . Keane understood him to live . The

      man seemed to be so ill as scarcely able to walk . He fell down again , but on arriving at the corner of Bell-yard , he rallied considerabl y , and after thanking Mr . K . for taking care of him , walked away at a tolerable pace . Mr . Keane soon afterwards had the mortification to discover that the fellow had contrived to rob him of his watch ( a silver hunter , ) and h ' i 3 purse , containing about twelve shillings , while he was assisting him in his pretended illness .

      The Harvest . ^ —Inconsequence of the failure of the harvest in Sweden , the Government of that country issued a Royal Proclamation on the 10 th instant , prohibiting the distilling of spirits from corn for the next two months . There had been some fresh riots at Stockholm , and the King ' s journey to Norway had been put off . — Courier .

      SMITHKIELD CATTLE MARKET , OCT . 29 . [ Whenever the word stone occurs in these ^ ricesthroughout this paper , it is to be considered as the imperial stone of l 4 Jbi and . iuch only , no other being lawful . } Having for some weeks past been supplied with almost overwhelming quantities of Beasts for tnw season of the year ( which have caused considerable heaviness to prevail in tne Bet ^ f trade } , the pTiova have been somewhat on the decline . This morning , knwevur , the number of Beasts on sale vvas , Cimpannively speaking , moderate ; but thong the sales Were , on the whole , more readily effected than on this day se'nnight , the trade was in a very sluggish state , and the prices noted last week remain without alteration . : Many-of , the salesmen who were largely supplied wiih Beasts had a portion of their stock turned out unsold immediately the state of the trade became generally known , from the well grounded apprehensions of the prices which they would bo enabled to obtain for the Beasts consigned to them for sale wotud bo inadequate to their value : We may , therefore , anticipate an

      extensive supply here on Kndajr next . Ihe attendance of both London and provincial butchers was rather numerous who , ( owing to the weather having become more favourable to slaughtering , and the number or Sheep offering being conuiderabl y more moderate than of late , were more , eager jn in their inquiries after prime Sheep , and the prices were well supported , yet the trade was by no means brisk . The middling and inferior kinds of Sheep , which formed by fat the largest portion of those on sale , were in heavy demand , ttt baiely stationary prices * The Lincolns and Leicester * ( which formed the greatest number of the Sheen in the market ) came to hand irt very excellent condition . With Calves , we were tolerably well , but not to say largely , supplied , whilb this Veal trade was dull , at previous rates . Prime small dairy-fed Porker * commanded a steady sale , but other kinds of Pigs went off sluggishly , at last week ' s currencies . From Scotland only one vessel has arrived in the port of LonJon , having on board 35 Scots , the quality of which is hot very rapt-riot . About 120 large Hogs were exhibited in the market from Ireland .

      We received fresh up to this day ' s market 600 short-horns , from Lincolnshire ; SOD uhort-hornu and runts , from Leicestershire ; 490 shori-norni and Devons , from Northamptonshire ; 2001 ' cots , from Norfolk ; 100 scuts and rants , lrom Suffolk ; 50 Devons , Scots , and runts , from Essex and Cambridgeshire ; 700 Heieforda , from Herefordshire ; 750 Devons , lrom Devonshire , 35 homed and polled Scots by sea , frum Scotland j . 60 lridh Beasts and runts , from Warwickshire , and Oxfordshire ¦• 30 runts from Sussex ; 40 Drivons , Cows , and Herefords , from Surrey , 30 Scots , Cow .-i , and rants , from Kent The remainder of the supply of Beasts came from the neighbouhood of London .
