FROM SHELLEY'S QUEEN MAB . . - . - : And statesmen Boast Of wealth ? The worldly eloquence that lives After the ruin of their hearts can gild The U || er poison of a nation ' s woe , Cam nh the -worship of the servile mob , To tiietr corrupt and glaring idol , fame , From Tirtae , trampled hj its iron tread , Although its dazzling / pedestal be raised Amid the horrora of & limb-strewed field , With desolated dwellings smoking round . The man of ease , "who , by bia ¦ warm fire-side , To deeds of charitable intercourse ' And bare fulfilment of the eommonl&ws Of decency ana prejudice , confines The struggling nature of his human heart , Is duped by their cold sophistry ; heshedB A passingtear perchance upon the wreck Of earthly peacej when near bis dwelling ' s door The frightful -wares are driven ,- —when bis Bon Is murdered by the tyrant . . Bui the poor man , "Whose life is misery , and fear , and care : Whom the morn wakens but to fruitless toil :
Who erer hears his famished offspring scream , Whom their pale mother ' s uncomplaining gaze Tar ever meets , and the proud rich man ' s eye Flashing command , and the heart-breaking scene O ! thousands like himself;—be little heeds The rhetoric of tyranny ; his hate Is quenchless as / his -wrongs ; he laughs to scorn The vain and bitter-mockery of words , Feeling the horror of the tyrant ' s deeds , And unrestrained Tint by the arm of power , That knows and dreads his enmity .

THE FAIR ONE . I gazed with 8 ie rapture of fond delight On her lovely brow of Parian white , And the beautiful hue of her toughing eye Reflected the hue of the summer sky . Her look so arch , her smile so divine , Jli ^ ht have maHKl a stonier heart than Tnfpp ; And the tones ' offer voice had a magic spell Whose breathings to me were ineffable . And the spirit of loveao bright and fair , Seem'd twining her ringlets of auburn hair , Till each golden carl in its -wildness stra . y'd , o er her bosom that rivalTd the lily ' s shade j Her graceful form of mould more tree That e ' er from sculptur'd marble grew , Might have captive lured to its witching shrine A colder heart tT »* Ti t"h * q heart of mine .
But the spotless bro-sr and the laughing eye , Though of snowy hue and cerulean dye , Would but rivet the gaze and entrance the soul , When passionV waves in their wildness roll , Were it not for the heart that ' s true and kind , Where tie flowerets of piety and love are twined , The spirit that softens affection ' s smart , And proffers its balm to the bleeding heart Btn the magic voice breathes its sweetest tones , When it cheers and blesses the outcast ones ; And that hand is the softest that dries the tear , And tenders its . aid to the orphan dear ; That form bath a charm that speeds to greet The stricken of earth in their lone retreat , And that smile is the sweetest whose silent tongue Doth gladden the hearts of the friendless throng .
Oh , where is the mortal could coldly view The golden orbs in their heaven of blue , And feel not a throbbing celestial inspire ; The enthusiast ' s spark of ethereal fire ; . But the deep inspiration that startles the mind , ( When the lovely and loving of nature , refined , like spirit of happiness destined , to bless In tenderest tones breathe their trustful excess , ) Is the lightning of rapture that sends trmj t-h n f n ^ The electric thai fires e ' en the passionless brain .
Bat the spirit that feels for the human race , As kindred sad friends of one chosen place , That weeps with the poor , and strengthens the ¦ weak , That raises the downcast and blesses the meek ; "Mid the tempest of life in its rudest gale , Such ] such ! I is the spirit this heart wonld hail . ' JLnd when this is enshrined in a lovely mould The sool most be chill , and tide fountain cold That wings not its flight where love ' s altar gleams To be sunn'd in the light of its radiant beams , And such is the " Fair One" whose witching grace Hath called mt harp from its resting place . ' Thoills Watsos , Jun Rotfcton-on-Tees . Oct 21 . 1838 .

Black the Wokst CoLora tob Pai-vtixg Woon-Tr < teK is the Opex Am— -There is " nothing that wilt prove this evil more than by observing the black streaks of a ship after being in a tropical climate for any length of time . It -will be found that the wood round the fastenings is in a ^ tate of decay , while the white work is as sound as ever ; the planks thai are painted black -will be found spilt m all directions , whfle the frequent necessity of caulking a ship in that situation likewise adds to the common destruction ; and . I am folly persuaded , that a piece of vrood painted white Trill be preserved from perishing as long again , if exposed to fhe weather , as a similar piece painted black , especially in a tropical climate . I have heard many men of considerable experience say that black is good for nothing on
¦ wood , as it possesses no body to exclude the-weather This is , indeed , partly the case ; but a fer greater evil than this attends the use of black paint , which ought entirely to exclude it 3 na on any work out of doors , viz / its property of absording heat . A black Impolished surface is the greatest absorber and radiator of heat known ; while a white surface , on tile other hand , is a bad absorber and ndiatoV of the same ; consequently , black * paint is more pernicious to the wood thin ¦ white . Wood having a . black surface -win imbibe considerably more heat in the ' same temperature of climate than if that surface were white ; from which circumstance -we may easily conclude
that the pores of wood of any nature will have a tendency to expand and -rend in all directions , when ecposed under such circumstances ; the water , of coarse , being admitted , causes a gradual and progressive 7 decay ,- which must be imperceptibly increasing from every change of weather . The remedy to so great an evil is particularly simple , tit . by using white instead of black paint , which not only forms a better surface , but is a p reventive to the action of ieat , and is more impervious to the moisture , The saving of . expense would" al 3 o be immense , and I am convinced that men of practical experience will bear me out in my assertion . —Trans .

The NsassAKTES of Life . — "By necessaries I understand not only the commodities which are indispensably necessary for the support of life , but ¦ whatever the custom of the country Tenders it indecent for creditable people even of Iha lowest order to appear without . A linen shirt , for example , is , strictly speaking , not a necessary of life . The Greeks and "Romans lived , I snppose , very comfortably , though they had no linen . Bnt in the present times , through the greater part of Europe , a creditable day-labourer would be ashamed to appear in public without a linen jihirt , the want of which would be supposed to denote that disgraceful degree
of poverty vrfiich , it is perfumed , nobody . can well fall into -without extreme bad conduct . Custom , in ihes ame manner , has rendered leather shoes a necesgary of life in England . The poorest creditable person of either sex would be ashamed to appear in public -without them . Under necessaries , therefore , I comprehend , not only those thmg 3 which nature , but those thing 3 -widen the established rules of decency , have rendered necessary to the lowest rank of peopie . All other things 1 call luxuries . Nature does not render them necessary for the , support of life ; and custom nowhere renders it indecent for a man to live without them . — -Smith ' s Wealth of Nations .

LegalConseviencesop BBtfNKENHEss . —Aremarkable diversity of views haveprevailed on this point at ^ Jff « errt Jtimea and among different nations , and it would certainly be a curious if not useful inquiry W investigate -the peculiar circumstances that have given rise to it . In ancient Greece he who committed a crime when drunk received a double punishment-one for the crime itself , another for the drunkenness that prompted him to commit it ; and in a magistrate it was a capital offence . The Roi
mans , on the contrary , admitted drunkenness as a pfe * ™ defence of any misdeeds committed under its influence , except wueait cocurred in a woman ; then Was -Puni 8 hed TO& & » tb . In the Austrian law , under Joseph 11 ., drtmkenness is made a sufficient excuse for crime whenever it is not accompanied with an intention relative to the criminal act . In the Preneh penal code , no mention is made of drunkenness , either as a ground of defence for crimes aad offences , or as impairing the validity of civil acts . —MedicalJurisprudence of Insanity .
Economy va Candles . — -If you are without a rush-light , and would burn a candle all night , "unless yon use the . following precaution , it is ten to one an ordinary candle will gutter away in an hour or two , sometimes to the endangering the safety of the house : — "This may be avoided by placing as much common salt , finely powdered , as will reach from the tallow to the bottom of the black part of the wick of a partly burnt candle , when , if the same be lit , it will burn very slowly , yielding a sufficient light for a bed chamber ; the salt will gradually-sink as the tallow isconsumed , the melted tallow being drawn through the salt and consumed in the wick . "— The Economist .
Origin as th * Tubf-Bogs of Iheland . —Formerly Ireland was a vast forest ; so powerful was the vegetation there , that it was called " the island of wood . " It is now almost destitute of trees ; and when , on a fine day in spring , it appears , though bare full of sap and yonth , it seems like a young iand lovely girl deprived of her hair . It is not known at what time and b y what process this great destruction was effected . "We may , however , be assured that it was before the Christian era , and probably at a much more distant date . Some attribute it to an extraordinary inundation which uprooted the trees , leveled the ferests , and buried them in the bosom of the earth . Others , whose opinion is better supported by scientific study , believe that the ruin ofthe forest was the result of violent storms . When the lofty forests that covered the country were compact and entire , they afforded each other mutual
support ^ against the violence of the tempests ; but , in proportion as man , requiring an open space for his house and field , effected clearances here and there , the trees near those that had been cut down were without support against the fury of the hurricane , and fell before blasts that were powerless ; every Tuin occasioned by a tempest produced a thousand others , rendered more easy as they were multiplied : the work of destruction went on , and all the fallen trunks , descending by the natural declivities to th « k k ^ . and the marshy parts of the soil , were stopped at this liquid base , where , heaped one above the other , year after year , they were mingled together , some prawrving their natural form , others decomposing into vegetable matter , until they formed that spongy , combustible substance , sometimes red and sometimes black , of which tho vast turf-bogs of Ireland are composed . —be Beaumont's Ireland .

LEEDS BOROUGH SESSIONS . These Sessions commenced at the Court House , on Friday morning , before Thomas Flower Ellis , the Recorder for the Borough . The Court having been opened with the usual preliminaries , the following gentlemen were , sworn on . THE GRAND JURT . Thomas Mottley , Esq ., Foreman . Mr . John Cooper , cloth merchant . Mr . Wiljiam Dixoh , wool merchant . Mr . Benjamin Halliwell , spirit merchant . ' Mr . Abraham Parkinson Holdroyd , merchant . Mr . Thomas Kirkby , cloth merchant . "Mr .

William Willock ^ stamp distributor .
The Recorder briefly charged the Grand Jury . He said the calendar had rather a formidable appearance as to number ; but > when it was considereithat nearly four months had elapsed since the last session , it would not ^ perhaps , be much above the average number , especially considering the season of the year ; and he might also remark that the offences charged in the calendar were , generally speaking , very light . There was ODly one class of cases upon which he should think it necessary to offer any observations to thenij the indictments against persons for keeping disorderly houses . All that he should point out was , that formerly thore was some difficulty in fixing the ovraership of the premises upon the party charged with the keeping of those houses , but with a view to remedy that defect a Btatute was passed in the reign of" George the Second , which , after reciting the difficultyenacted
, that any person who shall appear to be acting and behaving himself or herself as master or miBtreBs , or the person having the care or management of the same , should be deemed and taken to oe the- owner thereof , and punished accordingly , notwithstanding that he or she shall not in fact be the owner . Therefore all that they had to be satisfied of in that respect tv » s that the parties charged were acting as master or mistress . The Jury were aware that if a married woman was charged with an offence vrhich appeared to have been committed in the prosenceof her husband , so that it could bo construed to be committed under his _ controul , she was acquitted , because the law considered her not to be , under the circumstances , a free agent . But these cases were an exception , and a wife might be convicted of this offence as well as her husba-nd ; indeed ^ they were very often indicted together .
The Grand Jury then retired . COMPLAINT AGAINST AN INSPECTOR OF -POLICE . Mr . Newton said he appeared on behalf of the Crown to sustain a charge of the gravest criminality which had been laid before Lord Normanby against Inspector Child ; he had a letter from the Marquii of Normanby stating that he had instructed his honour ( the Recorder ) to make a preliminary ihyestigation , he therefore begged to know when it would be convenient for him to have the witnesses in attendance from Ripon . - The Recorder—In what shape do you propose to proceed in thematter / ^ . ilr .

" We have heard an anecdote of a pbor cobbler who seemed to take much interest in attending the discus / bioub of two literati on some kuptty subject , though he understood nothing of the matter in diapute , and was ignorant also ol the ; language in which the controversy waa conducted .
