TEST IHrE . THET may talk of love in a cottage , And bowers of treUised vine—Of nature bewitchingly simple , And milkmaids half divine . TThey may talk of the pleasures of sleeping In the shade of a pleasant tree , And a walk in the fields in the morning , By the side of a footstep free ; 3 nt give me a sly flirtation By the light cf a chandelier—With music to play in the pauses , And nobody veij near ; Or a seat on a silken sofa With a glass of pure eld wine , And TnttmTna too blind to discover The nmftTi white hand in mine .
Tonr lore in a cottage Is hungry , Tour vine is a nest for flies—Tour milkmaid shocks the Graces , And simplicity talks cf pies ; Ton lie down to your shady slumber And wake with a bug in youx ear ; And your damsel that walks in the morning , Is shod like a mountaineer . Trus love is at home on a carpet , And mightily likes his ease—And true love has an eye to dinner , And starves beneath shady trees . His wins is the fan of a lad ; ,
His foot's an invbaKe thing , And his arraw is tipp'd with a jewel , And shut from a silver string .

The Woes op the Poob . —A notice appears in the-laBt Wtstminsler Reviea or the poems of William Thorn , a weaver of Aberdeen , and evidently a man of great talents , whose sympathies for the poor have been sharpened by the want to which he himself has been subjected . Tbe following is the aocount which he gives of his early struggle with poverty . Hia supply of food being exhausted , his children crying for bread , he sets forth one c * ld spring afternoon in search of food . After snnset on the third day , rain came en , with cold east winds : —
•• Jean , my wife , was Borely exhausted , bearing an infant constantly at the breast , and often carrying the youngest boy also , who had fairly broken down in the conrse of tbe day . It was nine o'clock when we approached the large and comfortable-looking steading of B , standing about a qusTter of a mile off tbe road . Leaving my poor flock on the wtyside , I pushed down the path to tbe farm-house with considerable confidence , for I had been informed that B { meaning , by this local appellation , the farmer ) was a humane man , who never turned the wanderer from his door .
Unfortunately for us , the worthy farmer was from home , and not expected to return that night . His housekeeper had admitted several poor people already , and could admit no more . I pleaded with her the infancy of my family , tbe lateness of the night , and their ntter u&fitness to proceed—that we sought nothing but shelter—that the meanest shed would be a blessing . Heaven ' s mercy was never more earnestly pleaded for than was a night's lodging by me on that occasion . But * No , no , no / was the unvarying answer to all my entreaties .
" I retursed to my family . They had crept closer together , and , except the mother , were fast asleep . ' 0 , Willie , Willie , what keepityo ? " inquired tbe trembling woman ; * I'm dootfu * o' Jeanie , ' she added , isna she waesome like I Let's in frae the cauld . ' * We ' re nae w » y to gang , lass , ' aald I , * waate ' er come o * us . Yon folk winna hue us . ' Few more words passed . I drew her mantle over tbe wet and chilled sleepers , and sat down beside them . My heart throbbed with pain , and for a time became the tenements of thoughts I would not now rev&aL They partook less of sorrow than of indignation , and it seemed to me that this B&me world was a thing very much to be hated ; and , on the whole , the sooner that one like me could jjet out of it , the bstter for its sake and mine own . I felt myself , as it were , Bhut out from mankind—enclosed—imprisoned
in misery—no out-look—none ! My miserable wife and little ones , who alone cared for me—what would I not have done for their sakes at that bonr J Here let me speak out—and be heard , too , while I tell it—that the world dees not at all times know how unsafely it sits ; when Despair has loosed Honour ' s last hold upon the heart—when transcendent wretchedness lays weeping reason in tbe dust—when every unsympatbising onlooker is deemed an enemy—who then can limit the consequence *? For my own part , I confess that ever since that dreadful night , I can never bear of an extraordinary criminal , without the wish to pierce through the mere judicial view of his career , under which , I am persuaded there wonld often be found to exist an unseen impulse—a chain with one end fixed in nature's holiest ground , that drew him on to his destiny .
"I will resume my story . The gloaming light was scarcely sufficient to allow me to write a little note , which I carried to a stately mansion hard by . It was to entreat what we bad been denied at B . This application was also frnitlesa . The servant had been ordered to take in no such notes , and he could not break through the nsle . Oa rejoining my little group , my heart lightened at the presence of a serving man , who at that moment came near , and who , observing our wretchedness . coHld not pass without endeavouring t « succonr us . Tbe kind words of this worthy peasant sunk deep into our heart * . I < 3 o sot know his name ; bat never can I forget him . Assisted by him , we arrived , about eleven o ' clock , at the farm-houss of John Cooper , West-town of Kinnaird , where we were
immediately admitted . The accommodation , we were told , was poor—but what an alternative from the stormbeaten wayside 1 The servants were not yet in bed ; and we were permitted a Bbort time to warm ourselves at the botby fire . Daring this interval the infant seemed to revive ; it fastened heartily to th « breast , and soon fell asleep . We were next led to an outrhouse . A man stood by " with a lantern , while with straw and blankets we made a pretty fair bed . In lees than half an hour the whole slept sweevly in their dark and almost roofless dormitory . I think it must have been between 3 and 4 o ' clock when Jean wakened me . O , that scream ! I think 1 can hear it now . Tbe other children , startled from sleep , joined in frightful wail over their dead sister . Onr poor JesnJe had , unobserved bj n » , sunk
during the night under the effects of the exposure of the preceding evening , following , as that did , a long course of hardship , too great to be borne by a yonng frame . Such a visitation could only be well feorne by one hardened to misery and wearied of existence . I sat a while and looked on them : comfort I had nose to give—none to take : I spake not—what could be said ?—words ? O , no ! Th « worst is over when words can serve -us . And yet it is not just when the wound iB given that pain is felt . How come * h , I wonder , that minor evila will affect even to agony , while parsmount sorrow overdoes itself and stands in stultified
calmness ? Strange to soy , on first becoming aware of the bereavement of that terrible night , I sat for some minutes gszing upwards at the flattering and wheeling movements of a party of swallows , our fellow-lodgers , who had been disturbed by our unearthly outcry . After a while , 1 proceeded to awaken tbe people in the house , who entered at once into our feelings , and did everything which Christian kindness tonld dictate as proper to be done on the melancholy occasion . A nnmerous and respectable p » rty of neighbours wsembled that dny to assist at the funeral . In an obscure comer of Kinnaird churchyard liee our favourite , little Jeanie . ?
A Gka > d Clikicai . Feast . —Tbe following is a copy of a paper found in the Tower of London : — George KevQ , brother to tbe great Earl of Warwick , at his instalment into tbe Arcbbisboprick of York , in 1470 , made a feast for the Nobility , Gentry , and Clergy , wherein he spent 300 quarters of wheat , 300 tuns of ale , 104 pipes of wine , 1 pipe of spiced wine , 10 fat oxen , 6 wild bolls , 300 pigs , 3 , 004 wethers , 300 hogs , 3 . 000 calres , 3 , 000 geese , 300 capons , 100 peacocks , 200 cranes , 260 kids , 2 . 000 chickens , 4 , 000 pigeons ,

At the feast the Earl of Warwick was steward , the Earl of Bedford , treasurer , Lord Hastings , comptroller , with many other noble officers ; servitors , 1 , ^ 00 cooks , 82 kitcheners , and 515 scullions .

Scperstittos . —The greatest and wisest men have not been proof against the errors and superstitious conceits of the age in which they lived . Cressr thought the skin of a sea-calf to be a preventive againBt lightning , and txuected some serious calamity to befal him in the course " of the day , if , at rising , he happened to put rfce left shoe npon the right foot ; but we are not to say he was a fool . The Visit or a Stb . asoeb , —See in any house where virtue and self-respect abide , the palpitBtiong which the apiwoach ol a stranger canses . A commended Stranger is expected and announced , and an uneasiness , betwixt pleasure and pain , invades all the hearts of the household . This aniTal almost brings fear to the good hearts that -would welcome him . The honBe
is dusted , all things fly into their places , the old coat is exchanged for the new , and they must get up a dinner if they ran . If a commended stranger only , the good report iB teld by others—only the good and new is heard by us . He stands to us for humanity . He is what we wish . Having imagined and invested him , we ask how we should stand related in conversation and action ¦ with snch a man , and are uneasy with fear . The same idea exalts conversation with him . We talk tetter than we were wont We have tbe nimblest fancy , a richer memory , and our dumb devil has taken leave for the time . For long hours we can continue a Beries of sincere , graceful , rich communications , drawn from the oldest experience , so that they who sit by of onr kinsfolk and acquaintances shall feel a lively surprise at our unususl powers .
Saddlisg the Right Ass . —A writer on English grammar gives the following example of wrong emphanis : —A Clergyman , on reading 1 st of KingB , c xvliL , v . 27 , generally placed tbe emphasis on tbe words deneted by italics : — " And he spake to his sons , saying , saddle vie , the ass . And they saddled him . " The Sheilasd Isles . —Balta Sound affords a secure and land-lotked anchorage . Mr . EdmonBtone's house stands towards its bead upon the northern shore . There dwelt for several months M . Biot , the great French
physician , when occupied in measuring the time of tbe seconds pendulum . One advantage presented by this far disiant island ofer the Orkney group for the scene of such operations , consisted in its affording the means , not only of txtenJing the British line twe degrees northwards , but also of carrying it eastward almost upon the meridian of Formentera , M . Biot's last southern station in the Mediterranean . But , setting aside the scientific importance of the subject , what a change irem the calm clear shores of the south of Europe , to the dark and desolate vocs of TJnstJ '' It was no
longer , " says the philosopher , " those fortunate isleB of Spain , those smiling countries , Yalentia , that garden , ¦ where tbe orange and lemon trees in Sower shed their perfumes around the tomb of Scipie , or over the majestic ruins of the ancient Siguntum . Here , on landing upon rocks mntilated by the waves , the eye sees nothing but a soil wet , desert , And covered with stones and moss , and craggy mountains scarred by the inclemency of the heavens ; not a tree , not a bush , to . soften the savage scene ; here and there some scattered hnts , whose roefs covered with grasa allowed the thick smoke with which they are filled to escape into the fog . " How natural are tte sensations of a wise and not vain-glorious Frenchman ; of one whose country , alike distracted and distracting , had so often been both the source and scene of tyrannous bloodshed , while reflecting on the profound and unalterable peace bo long tnjojed by the natives c ! these misty isles !

DREADFUL HURRICANE .-FEAItFUL WRECKS AND LOSS OF LIFE . Llotd s , Fridat Night . —The destruction of life and property during the late gales from the N . W . off different parts of the coast has , we regret to say , been very considerable , and further , that other dreadful casualties occurred at sea , of which accounts are hourly lookeu for . The subjoined are the reports received : — Ramsgate , Thursday Night . —During the last twenty-four hours it has blown a heavy gale from the N . W ., with a tremendous sea , and the shipping for safety are riding with two anchors out . At about ten
o ' clock , the-master and crew belonging to the barque William Word were landed here , their vessel having foundered during the night » ff the French const ; the ship had a valuable cargo en board , and was bound from Hull for Athens . At nbont five o ' clock , a large barqae , called the Deveron of North Shields , narrowly escaped destruction by driving on the Kentish rock , near this placB ; tut the wind carrying the ship off , the crew immediately put her ashore on the main , near Brcadatairs , where it was discovered that she had several feet of water in her hold , part of her keel having been carried away .
Loss op a Dutch Government Frigate—Accounts have been received of the toUl los * of the Zjeuw , a Dutch Government frigate , commander . Captain Abrahams , while on a voyage from Batavia to Middleburg in Holland , on a shoal in the North Sea . Sbe was a fine frigate , 600 tons burthen ; her less is between £ 30 , 000 and £ 4 « . O 0 O . Bovlgkz-Sur-Mek , Thursday Morning—A little before nine o'clock last night a schooner , named the Einile , from Bordeaux , was totally wrecked about IS miles westward of this port ; none of tbe crew having been seen , it is sadly feared that they have met with a watery grave .
Yarmouth , Thursday Night . —Dreadful Shipwreck . —It is with feelings of deep regret that I have to report to you the loss of the brig Stirling , and the dreadful fate of the greater part of her crew , wheh took place this morning off this town . During the night it came on to blow furieusly from the N . W ., and as the morning advanced the gale extended to a hurricane , snow at tbe same time falling so thickly as to prevent all travelling , and upwards of 200 vessels brought up in the roads unable to proceed . At an early hour a fishing-boat arrived with tbe information that a vessel bad Btrnck on the Gnnfieet sands , and that tbe crew were clinging to the rigging . The life-boat was immediately prepared , and an attempt was made to launch her , but without anccesp , in consequence of the
violence of the surf . Soon after day break the boat having been got eff , her brave crevr vulleA in gallant style towards tbe sands where the vessel was reported to be wrecked ; the sua continually sweeping over the frail craft , but nothing daanted , tbay pushed onwards to assistance . Instead of tbe Gunfleet tbe wreck proved to be on the Scroby sands , where she appeared a total loss : the vessel was lying on her beam ends , surrounded by a terrific sea , and one of her masts overboard . The first object that attracted their attention was a man and a boy clinging to the rigging , who proved to be Captain Hunter and his apprentice boy , named Elijah Tenus :
the former on the foretopmast , and the latter holding on to the stamp of the mainmast . With great difflcnl'y the men in the life-boat managed to take the unhappy creatures off , but in a most dreadful condition and almost lifeless . I have ascertained from Captain Hunter that the remainder of his crew have perighed . He state * that the vessel was on her passage to Shields from London , and that at about two o ' clock that morning , just as they were entering id to the roads at the Cockle Gat the atmosphere became so thick frem snow that it was impossible to see within tbe vessel ' s length , and all of a sudden sbe drove on the Scroby Sands , where she remained but a few minutes before sbe hove on her beam ends .

Early on the evening of yesterday , Captain Pashley , on his voyage from Londen to Calais , in the Belfast steamer , perceived a brig on the Goodwin . It proved to be the Jane of SnnderlanJ , laden with coals from Harfieur . Fortunately the captain and crew altogether took to tbo jolly boat , having only two oars , and contrived to keep afloat till Captain Pashley , with his usual activity and exertions , took them on board his vessel . The brig sunk immediately after .
THE SNOW STORM . London , Sunday Evening . —The following partlculars were collected yesterday , throughout the afternoon and up td the above honr , from the various officials connected with the London and Dover , the London and Brighton , the Great Western , the Northern and Eastern , and other railways , the details of which will be read with interest . The London and Dover Railway . —Upon inquiry at this terminuB , it was stated that there had been considerable obstruction on the line , arising from the heavy fall of snow which took place on Thursday night and Friday morning , and which has continued since at intervals . Some uneasiness was occasioned on Friday morning by the late arrivals of the up-traina which leave Folkestone at forty minutes past eleven ,
twenty ruinates past one , and fifty minutes past three o ' clock , the earliest of which should have arrived at the London terminus at half-past three o ' clock , and the latest at twenty-seven minutes after ten . Before they had reached Panshurst and Staplehurst tbe depth of snow was so excessive that the three trains were detained for tome houra at those stations , and it was found necessary to employ tbe united power of the three engines to accomplish the journey , which was not done until between three and four o ' clock the next morning , being a delay of above five hours beyond the time at which the last train was due . Tbe down train which left London at eight o'clock on Friday morning , did not reach Folkestone within fifteen miles , thereby occasioning serious inconveniences and delay to the passengers . An extra engine was yesterday attached to each train .
The London and Brighton Railway . —The tf&ins on this railway , the reporter was informed , had not exceeded twenty minutes' delay in any of the arrivals , but tha < ffact of tbe tbaw upon the drainage and bud of the line is not yet known , as the cuttings in many places are very steep . The Great Western—The up-traln from Swindon , propelled by tbo Centaur steamer , and bringing the mails from the principal cities and towns on this lino , arrived at Paddington with the loss of only three minutes . Tbe ploughs and brooma were attached le the engine , and proved quite successful in clearing nway the snow , which af Twyford cutting was from sixteen to eighteen inches in deptti .
The Southern Western . —On Friday tbe train which brings tbe malls from Gosport , Portsmouth , Southampton , &c ., was about five hours beyond time . A number of men have been since employed on tbe line , and , in conjunction with other measures , have succeeded in removing any impediment in the transit of passengers , 4 c , as usual . The fall of snow , owing to tbe direction of the wind , appears to have been heavier upon this line than en any other . On Saturday tbe mail-train was four hours and twenty minutes beyond time .

FRANCE . General Bertrand , tbe faithful adherent of Napoleon died at Chateauroux on the 1 st inst . Bertrand served as a National Guard in IJOti . He served subsequently in the corps of engineers , and passed rapidly through the grades ; waa in the expedition to Egypt , where he fortified several places , and received , almost at tho same time , tho commission of Lieutenant-Colonel , and General of brigade . After the battlo of Austerlitz , Napoleon admitted him amongst tho number of his aides-de-camp . He equally dir-tingui * hed himself at Spandau , at Fricdland , and principally in the construction of the bridges over the Danube , which was destined to facilitate the passage of the French army to Wagrani . This
campaign , and that of Russia , displayed his talents and bravery in such a light , that the Emperor appointed him Grand Marshal of the Palace after tho death of Marshal Du / oe . His successes were the same at Lutzen , Bautzen , and Leipsio . It was Bertrand who covered the retreat after the sanguinary battle of Hanau . In these two circumstances , and those which followed the departuro of the Emperor from Paris , Count Bertrand thought only of saving the remnant of the French : army , and almost always saw his efforts and arrangements crowned with all the success which it waa possible to hope for in the midst of such disastrons events . On his return to Paris in 1814 . General Bertrand was appointed
Aide-Maior-General of the National Guard , and followed Napoleon to the Island of Elba . On his return with the Emperor , on the 20 th March , he served him with his accustomed devotedness . After the fatal affair of Waterloo ho never quitted Napoleon . He followed him to his last exile , partook of and softened bis misfortunes , and thought only of returning to France when he had received hia last breath . It was with joy that General Bertrand saw the revolution of July , and the triumph of the national colours . It was with profound emotion that , ten years later , he saluted the ashes of the Emperor , whioh had been brought across the ocean by the Prince de Joinville . The name of General Bertrand will remain united with that of Napoleon to all posterity .
SPAIN . The Madrid journals of tho 20 th , record the death of Donna Carlotta , wife of tbe Infant . 1 ITALY . A private letter from Forli , in the Roman States , says that a collision took placo between the inhabitants of Castel Bolognuse and the volunteers , in which several persons were killed , and a great number wounded . At Itarenna , the director of police had been fired at , as he was entering his own house . At Ancona , considerable excitement existed since the late arrests . The persons arrested have been sent to Bologna , where they will be tried by a military commission .
FOREIGN MISCELLANY . The following horrible accoumt is given in a letter from Ancona , of the 20 th ult ., published by the Gaxeile des Tribunaux : — "A man named Vampa had , notwithstanding tho detestable reputation which he bore , got introduced to the Countess-G , who resided in a town near this place . She is a woman of considerable beauty , and had several admirers , but had never given cause to suspect her virtue . The count , her husband , frequently expressed his regret at seeing in her sooiety a man of such bad character as Vampa , but it was not until the subject had excited public notice that he resolved to exercise his authority , and forbid Vampa to > isit the house . The Countess made no objection , but in order to render the exclusion less oiiensive , it was agreed that she should give a general soiree , at which she was to announce to all her friends that her physicians had , on account of her health , ordered
her for some time to refrain from receiving visitors . On the following day the Count met Vampa in the street , and consented to accompany him to a coffeehouse , to take an iee . On leaving the coffee-house , Vampa went with the Count as far as the door of the house . The latter had ascended several steps , when Vampa called to him as if he had forgotten Bomething , and as soon as the Count had returned to him , he plunged a dagger into his breast . The assassin then fled , but was on the following day at Ancona , breakfasting with some acquaintances , when the order came to the police to arrest him ; he had , however , embarked in a vessel for Corfu , and bad left the port . Count G- died a few hours after having received his wound . Ho was rich , and bo much esteemed , that tha populace , accusing the Countess as well as the murderer , surrounded the house , and uttered such execrations against her , that , at the first opportunity , she fled , and took refuge m a convent . '
The Bokhara Captives . —Tbebizonde , Dec . 13 — On the 11 th some passengers from Bokhara report that Colonel Stoddard is alive , that ho is a general of artillery in the service of the Emir of Bokhara , and that he was compelled to embrace lslamism under the name of Abdul Semmel Khan , given him by the Emir , with whom the Colonel is a great favourite , As to Captain Connolly the information is Ies 3 positive ; the same passengers having only said to have

seen in company of Colonel Stoddard , a young man of a rather short stature ! and a wide beard , who attended the colonel as secretary . The statements given by these passengers a , 3 to the stature and description of these two persons perfectly correspond with those of Colonel Stoddart and Capt . Connolly , as given by the Kev . Mr . Wolff . " Another letter of the 24 th ult . Bays— "that the statement of the former passengers was fully confirmed by others who arrived from Bokhara some days after . " Mr . Wolff had reached Erzeroum , oh foot , from Trebizoad , a distance of 150 miles .
Piracy in the Turkish Seas . —A pirate boat was lately captured at Sanda , whence the aetors were sent to Rhodes , and are now in prison . Only five , however , bave been arrested , and by these disclosures have been made which horrify and disgust . Nine oases of piracy , in each of which the murder of the victims , and the scuttling of the vessels attacked , had , before the last , been commuted—and in this the lives of two passengers were taken , one a young girl ol ' 18 or 19 years of age , of surpassing beauty . She was transferred from the cernic to the
pirate schooner , where ahq was kept three day 3 , during which time she was assaulted by all the crew , and forced to abandon herself to their guilty passions . This done , she was ordered to prepare for deathdeath by decapitation—her , hair was close cut , that nothing might impede the progress of the knife when the wretched girl begged of her assassins to throw her into the sea , instead of decapitating her . Her request was complied with , and the hapless creature was launched from the vessel's side , where the death she demanded speedily put an end to her agontsiug sufferings .

Sir R . Peel . —On Monday last Sir R . Peel entered en his fifty -seventh year . The Unfortunate . —When the late John Kemble was one day passing along Chea-pside , he was met by two chimney sweeps , the younger one accosted the elder one thus- — " I say , Bill , there goes a player man . " " O , don ' t insult him , Jack , ''? said , th 6 o £ hggj 11 no one knows whatf-any bod ; may come ' tcr . ** * , ' . ¦ . Cambridgeshire . —Incendiary Fire . —On Tuesday morning , about four o ' clock , one of the most dreadful fires broke ont at Colne , near Somersham , that it has ever been our misfortune to witness . It was first discovered in the centre of the village , a farm tenanted by Mr . Smith , the property of Mr . G . G . Day , of St . Ive ' s . jA few individuals were
soon alarmed , but owing to tho high wind , which then blew in full strength , in a few minutes the whole farm was in flames , ; which together with an excellent dwelling-house was totally destroyed , and which we are sorry to add is not insured . Amongst those who first arrived on the farm of Mr . Smith was Mr . Ephraim Rapor , when in a few moments he had the horror to observe his own barn on fire , situate at , the extreme end of the village , and at such a distance that it was : impossible that one fire had at that time the least communication with the other . In a short time the fire broke out in a third house ; thus the flames were issuing from three distinct Sres in st few minutes , which will aocount in some measure for the immense destruction .
While Mr . Smith ' s farm was enveloped in flames , the fire gained very fast on the beautiful estate of Mr . E . Raper ( insured in the Suffolk Fire Office ) . The barn contained a great quantity of grain , which had been sold the previous day at St . Ive ' s market , and only a small portion of which was saved ; the fire quickly spread in the farmyard , which was well stacked . Destruction became inevitable , and the whole was consumed , together with the excellent house , splendidly furnished , and neat buildings , which were well fitted . Next to this house was the residence of Mrs . Raper , sen ., which wa 3 paved through the assistance principally of the Earith firemen ; but the neat and valuable furniture was nearly destroyed through harsh treatment . Exactly opposite were some
haystacks , which soon caught and were burnt . The fire at that part of the village in which it first originated made dreadful havoc . The houso of Mr . 11 . Butcher was reduced to ashes , with nearly all the furniture , and the next house shared the same fate . The Ship public-house was also burnt to the ground ; which , we are sorry to say , was also uninsured , and is the property of M . R . Osborne , of St . Ive ' s . The house in the occupation of Mr . Stacey , shopkeeper , was also totally destroyed , together with the stock in trade and cash , some of which —gold , silver , and coppers-was picked up in tha ruins . The next house was divided into three tenements , which were reduced to ashes . The farm and corn-stacks of Mr . Coxey , i butcher , were likewise wholly demolished . —Cambridge paper .

A Lithograph Dagderreotype . —From Borne we learn that a copper-plate engraver , Signer LaBjsaraolo , has discovered a method of fixing on the lithographic Btone the images obtained by tbe daguerreotype ; so that a large number of impressions can be taken in sn instant .

When cold , the mixture is very friable . They reduce it to a tine powder , which Ib mixed with the plumbayo , and applied as usual . —Polytechnic Review .
Plating and Gilding Medals of White Metal . —Mr . Tyleo , of Bath , by electToljzing a cyanide of copper , deposits a thin adhesive film of copper , which does not ( and we speak from ocular evidence ) in the least detract from the beauty of the medal He cow phtes or gilds this . —Ibid . Coloring . —Nature employs but two metala , iron and copper , for coloring the whole creation . All her variety results from the varied combination of three colors—red , yellow , and f zure . What a harmony there is in tbe rainbow ! Take away but one of its principal colors—the red , for instance—and the harmony is gone . Tbe ancient painters , for a long time , employed only these primitive colors ; the moderns make use of a considerable number . But with these three , and the addition of black and white , eight hundred and nineteen different combinations may be produced .
