THE CRY . A wail h » th gone over the earth , Sad , holkrw , and dismally drear ; like the storm in the 'bout of it » birth , Or the -wind at the fall of the year . It hath swept past the hovel and hut , And the rich man hath fastened hia door ; BuHt howls -when his portals are « hn . t Tis the cry of the faTniRfiing poor I The child in the arms rf its nurse Sfrall start as it swells on the air ; Pot Vhat sound is the sound of a corse , And that voice is the voice of despair I Xoi laughter , and revelry ' s shout .
And warmth , and indulgence , and sin ; There is death and starvation -without—There is music and dancing within . Oh I Dives , tht death-bed dra-wsnesr ; Sunk down to the level of us en , Ih » « y thon refusest to hear , Shall be audibly clew to thee then ; The -whispers of doctors and friends , Yea , sobs from the lovis ; and loved , Shall be lost , as that echo ascends Which found thee so hard and unmoved . ' In vain , from all parts of the globe , Shall thy conch "with rich comforts be spread Thy heart , * neath its miniver'd robe , Shall freeze with a horrible dread . The pendolom , heavy and doll , As it airings to and fro in the gloom , Shall start thee— "when opiates -would lull—As if striking the hour of thy doom . Then , naked returning te God , ( Who sent thee , frail perishing -worm , To creep awhile over this clod , The task of thy life to perform ) , The earth thy -remains shall enfold , And thy corse in a bed be innrned , As narrow , as dark , and as cold .
As the grave of tb « "wretch thon hart spurned But thy senl " cannot slumber in dnst ;" Tnee its shuddering wings must upbear To the throne of the holy and just , For a fiat of hope or despair : There stand , O thon spirit * f -wo , And answer to Father and Son For the good -which thon failedst to do , As well as the ill them hast done . B « peat { -what on earth would not cease ) All the sophistries hollow and Tain , Wty fiy lot shonld be plenty an 4 peace , And tby fellow's privation and pain . Mock God -with some blasphemous Uxt , Pointing out with a scriptural hand How in this -world , if not in the ntxt , 41 The poor" crust still cumber the lanS :
Make that "which was written to urge A broiberly pity of heart Seem meant as a sentence asd scourge , To set life ' s conditions apart ; Prove , prove , that thy conduct was right , When the fimishing clamoured for bread , And the huge waxen torches shone bright Oa the meats at thy festivals spread ; Prove , prove that thy heart -was not cold , Bnt that fear to encourage the base Was the motive that bad thee withhold The alms that were begged as a grace 1 Ay 1 proTe it—while throng sfter throng , Good angels re-echo the cry—* Bow Ion ? wilt thon seffer , ho-w lor . * I " 0 Lord of ths earth and the sky T y As the voice of the drowning is lost
In the strife of the -winds and the waves , Or the stoim- " wilder'd wanderer crost , By the forest trees crashing like staves ; So the rich in llie hear of TBXra need , For mercy shall vainly implore—They sbsli i .-ot be heard when they plead . Because of tie cut or the roofc !—Times .

I wiB hfcie jead you a dtscripticn of a rait mine 3 d Poland : — Amcngit the most extensive salt mines hitherto discovered , are those at Weilwka , a pitnmqot little town situated on the side of a gentle valley , at oot eight miles fxcm Caenw , fcxmeily the chifef city of Poland . The traveller who visits tht se subtiirautoBs
deposits of talt , being forniihed with a guide and two lamp bearers , is let down a shaft of about 150 feet , bj a jcpe . At the depth of about niDetyfeet , he arrive * at the rock ef puie s< , which is of a dinf ? foot colour , tere and there glistening by the litht of tbe lamps . Ths rwing is now abandoned , and the tar is assailed by the busy Ecusd of spades , iLsttcckp , snd whetlbBrrows , in eveiy « : irecticn . Tbis Is the fii * t flcor of a large cavern , contaiEing in different psrls . a stable for twenty horses , quantities cf salt , seme in bare masses , seme in catks , ready to be hoisted to tLe
surface , stoieE cf implements for the micers , * c . This excavation 1 b about ttiitj-three ; uds and half long , and twtnty-tix yards and two-thiids broad ( besidt the ttable ) , snd about twenty fe * t high . From hence a JoEg gallery twelve feet high by eight broad , Jeads towards the interior of the mires , -where laterrl avecnes branch iff in various directions , each named after time Austrian prince or princess , and resembling more in appearance the avenues cf seme subterraneous palace , tbsn the pasrsges of a mice . A flight of * ttpB conducts down ai other hundred feet to a second floor :
m thu descent the bed of salt is interrupted ry a csrrow stratum of pure clay , sometimes ty a mixture ol salt and the same earth ; these strata are in several pbcts curiously curved , aa though a rolling wave had been arrested in its course , and pteserivtd in its original fojm . The miners are here found at -work , seme hewing piJlars of talt frczn the reck , ? cme cntticg them into masses for borne consumption , and stowing the mattes into barrels for txportaticn . The cavern on tbis floor is rathtr mailer tbeB tie first , it cob silts of one spacious hall , and has co pillar to support the roof .
Proceeding on this subterraneous jcurney , the traveller arrives at a \ tocden platform , from -whence he let-kB down into an abjES , which the timp ^ e lights of the conductors fail te illuminate , thongh the spars of the mineral rifle cling tke rays cf light , produce a novel and besntiful effect . When princes or other gnat persensges visit the mines , a chandelier t < f crystal * alt , which lan ^ s in tie cettre , is fnriiisted with 250 lights , ¦ which dirpSay a stupendous cavtrn , havicg the pppearsnee of a cattle in ruins ; at the bottom sie kbd rows of seats risirg like the terchtB cf & theatre , opposite to which is an orchestra ; here , en such occasions , a froall band plays a few airs of slow and simple mcEic , which hts a most singular effect , and bBTmoBizes well with the furrennding scene . Long
galleries aid flights of steps , all ijaricns enough to allow free course to the fresh air , had deeper ard deeper in the saline rock ; the Ecene now and then varies by a cavern full of wcrimtn , and seme along the galleries wbtelirg their little carts full of salt , each With a Isffip in front On the fourth floor tbeie is % little subterraneous lake , atxut eight j feet long and forty road , ovtr which illustrious persons are ferried on rafts of fir-logs lighted by numtious flumbeaux Heie teiminatci the Ved of gre * n idH , the meet common Eort , and easiest to be cut That next to it is called spiced salt , which iB harder and more close-grained ; sad next succeeds a white and fiser-graised variety . This part of the » lne it 700 feet below the surface of the earth
360 feet beneath this lie * tb » finest trysts ! , which is retched by losg flights of steps and inclined plaits . Th « cavern in which it it found is tcfideutly spacious for a rtjintnt ef soldiers to perform their m » i « nvres in . This is the deepest part of the nine , the air is quite purs , rather cooler than that of the open dBy , but much waimer than it is about half way down . The return is through > different series of corridors and caverns . On the third floor is a simple tomb of salt , with the name cf the late Emperor of Austria inscribed with letters of wood neatly gilt On the second floor is a large lalcon , with all the implements of mining , and the mode of letting them down with men snd hones exhibited in transparency . On the first is a chapel poseeeairg many peculiarities . To visit the whole of this eztnoidifiary

and extensive mine , with all its galleries and caverns , no less a distance than three miles must be traversed . " i " That is a very extensive mine Indeed , " said [ MiDerra . " It is , " said her father , ' and it is one that has , been worked a very long time . It ib said to extend from East to West about three miles . " j " Pray , papa , " said WiUfeHJ , " how long has it beeD i in operation as a mine ?" j " About 593 years . It is said to have been commenced in 1251 ; and I believe it is still in operation . " " Are there any Bait mines in England / ' inquired Minerva . 11 T * s , " said Mr . Handford ; " but th » principal are in Cheshire , ' some of which are supposed to yield 16 000 tonB for home consumption , and 140 , 090 tona for exportation . "
We have not named one-third of the delightful contents of these numbers , which must be read to be appreciated . No school , no father oi a family should be without them ; by their aid the humblest labourer may instruct his children in that real knowledge ; , which the great majority of our fashionable seminaries would fail to supply them with . For Chartist Sunday Schools , now bo rife , this little unpretending monthly , will be an invaluable acquisition . The conductors of them should procure it immediately , snd cause it to be extensively circulated amongst their pupils .

TBE SAXON-HATER HUMBUGINO THE SAXON . JXltf i > JD THE " SHOT HOTS . " A dinner to Mr O'Conni-11 , ihia week , at Covent Garden Theatre , has been boasted as a great demonstration of " EnglUb fyaipatby" with Ireland . EDglwfc j-jrr-pathy with Ireland is a better thing . Wto -wtre tin re ? A thousand people , of tbe two millions of Londrc : many S'ght-Ekere , a few Ctartists , seme Leapuers , two or tbiee excited and not very discreet Catholic Lords , and several of the guerilla-politiciaas who dab ble in every agitation . Tbe Whigs were few : more may have sent their guineas , and dined in posse ; but tbiy were few who , " greatly daring , dined . '' Thry have not discountenanced the dii . ner . O no ! it served a drntte pnrpote : it collecttd together for a dramatic
Liberal demonstration some scattered elements of the party , who can agree tolerably well about runoter Ireland , thinth they caEnotagree about English questions ; and it helped to uphold the chief Irishman against the law , —renewing bis allegiance to tbe English Liberals , and preserving to the conciliating Whigs a ready insljument in Ireland , to be used as events may favour tbiHj . But thiB iB not ExqIUh sympathy . Taught by the trials that he has beta relying on miscalculated Teseaices , O'Coxroell , instead of spurning , cajoles " tbe Snxon" : It ib his cue to be " reconciling" tbe two peuy lt-B , Englith and Irith . Why , they did not need reconciling . It is trne that he worked up the Irish into a dreemy hatred of tbe Enplish , as desiring to oppress Ireland ; and what has occurred to alter his conduct
since he did to ? wbat has happened sinew be published hia bad bock ? Nothing bst the trial—the aole explanation of bis altered mien . Is the English temper altered ? Not at nil . Whtn tbe credulous Irish were in a phrei z > of Saxon-hating , tbe English were just aa friendly » s tbty are now , just as earnest in desiring justice to be done towards Ireland , just as anxious to learn frcm Imbnien a calm asd intelligent explanation bow it would be best to begin . And now tb&t O'Connell i * under a cliud , and tbe Repeal rent is falling off , tbe English will te &s ready to render justice as when the Repeal rtnt was rising and O Connell paraded his armies . . However , the Liberator cannot quite keep from hia boge tqumqurs . He has bad a " monster meeting" in London—a nieeticg of real Irish Repealers , in Covent Garden Theain—all prcnipt asd peaceable , submitting dutifully to hiB advice of peace , ready to meet on
Kenningtcn Con mon if allowtd , ard meanwhile ordered to help tbe English ptcpls id certain " struggles "— especially tbe Complete Suffrage Btruggle . Our Ecglith agitators ccioplain ( thanks to quieter times ; that they canDot reuse tbe p- < pie . Ib fuct , tbe people only appear occasicnally at public rceetirpB in tbe unwelcome ihape of diBtnrting CLartiste . By the help of Mr . O Connell , howeTtr , perhaps the feebler agitators may be supplied , if not with &n EngliBh , with an Irish people , to giv » thtir rueetings the nquisite grace of nuniLers . So it teems we are to have an organ zed Irish mob in London—cne cf O'Connell ' B aimits , a contingent at tbe service of his allits . It la to be hoped that the Agitators peaceful tactics will be duly respected on this side the Channel ; if not , an Irish mob in our streets might be very unpleasant , and moreover might itself get hurt Bomebow . — .

. a king of CMninis—akiug of sugar-candy I His majesty ! returns to Prussia , and with almott the gloss of his Newgate benevolonce upon him , he becomes Jack-of-alU work to the Emperor of Ruggia . He is Nicholas * most humbly servant—a tool , a scourge , a Prussian knout in the hand of the Imperial executioner . A number of Poles , dignified by misfortune—ennobled by Buffering patriotism—take refuge in Prussia from the bloody fangs of the Russian bear . They are , in a haliday mood , it seema , of the Prussian monarch , permitted by him to find » home in Posen . Their country destroyed to them , their fortanes shattered by aa wild and merciless a tyrai \ t as heaven ever permitted to scourge humanity—they are allowed to fiad a resting-place In Prussia . They become planted in tbe soil ; when , lo I Nicholas hns ugly dreams about tbem—they disturb his
ohefrful thoughts—and . as he cannot have them back , Brst for tbe knout , and thea for Siheria , why , he begs of his brother Prussia to banish them , accursed from the land . Whereupon Mrs . Fry ' s pet » howB ^ iinself obedient to the greater son of mischief , and , whether or no , the Poles must pack . The Boil of Prussia is not favourable to virtuous misery . Strange are the sympathies of kings . His majesty of Prussia could feel for and pray with Illegal pawning , with highway robbery , with embrzzlement , with felony in ita many shapes j but for def . ated valour , heroic Buffering , patriotism in all its glories and glorifying aspirations—all such are nought , and must not find harhour in Posen . In Newgate the king of Prussia was a Christian ; what a pity that he should have quitted it to aoi journeyman despot at home . — Punch .
Sin Robeiit and Nicholas—A few days since Sir Robert Peel dined with the merchants of the Rutsia Company . Praise of the Emperor Nicholas came , as a matter of coarse , with the dessert . The buyers of hides , hemp , and tallow , considered Nicholas to be the very pattero of kingly magnanimity , and their potentate , more familiarly known as Nick , would have been equally lauded had he worn the crown of Muscovy . Praise of Nicholas , tbe butcher of Poland , the merciless tyrant of tbe Jews , was the order of the day , and tbe Prime Minister , Bhowert that , in the way of adulation , he could earn his dinner . Speaking of the late visit ot the Grand Duke Michael , the bland Sir Bobert
said" 1 do hope that the aocvunt which his Imperial Highness will give of us , after twenty-flvo years' absence in Russia , will inrluoe a yet more illustrious member of that house—the Emperor of Russia himself—again to visit tbis country—i- ( loud cheers )—and to receive from ua . within these walls , the cordial denn > nstratl « n we will then offer to hism jasty , of respect for his personal character , » nd the eh vated station he occupies , and of tbe desire every Englishman mast entertain to cement with him the feelings and sentiments of mutual good understsading ; .

« ee ; , in addition to those published under the head «• Lloyd ' s Shipping . " < The Caroline of Liverpool , a packet ship , commanded by Captain C . Jackson , was totally lost in Cardigan Bay , near Pwellhelli , in Carnarvonshire , on Tuesday afternoon last , and it is painful to state that it w ; is attended with considerable loss of life . The ship had a oargo on board valued at £ 25 001 ) , and insurance was effected on the vessel ard cargo at Lloyd ' s and elsewhere to the extent of £ 18 . 000 . She was what was termed a Qaebecer , h ving been built at Quebec In the year 1841 . and was nearly 660 tons burthen . The information is derived from letters received in the course of Thursday and Friday at Lloyd ' s . { They are as follows : —A letter from Pwellhelli , dated March Utb , states" that eleven of the crew saved themselves by taking to the ship ' s boats , but the remainder , thirteen in number , perished . " No portion of the cargo has been washed on shore . :
Near MlLFORD Hav&m on'Tuesday morning , a large French smuggling schooner , ? ^ as totally wrecked on the rockB about half a mile from the harbour , and most of tbe unfortunate fallows on board met with a dreadful fate . The vessel , which ] was laden with saveral hnndred tuba of brandy , Ace ., ; was , it ia supposed , being run ashore by the crew , they taking advantage of the tempestuous state of tbe weather , ia order to run tbeir boats , but she unluckily 'Struct on the rocks tBunken ) and immediately went ) down , carrying with her seven persons , who were drowned . The remainder of the crew , four in number , saved tbemaeives by being washed ashore on the bottom of a small boat . Tha name of the vessel cannot be ascertained , and , what appears strange , the survivors refuse to give the slightest information . Her loss , with the . cirgo , ia estimated at £ 6 , 000 . Ths remainder of the losses along the const and at sea . since Sunday last ; at which time the
storm commenced , are , we regret to state , of a most extensive character . They areas follows : —Off Staitboa , on Sunday night , at about ten o ' clock , a large heavilyladrn brig ( name unknown ) tmddenly capiissad and disappeared in Seep water . Tbe jcr « w went with her ( supposed to be nine or ten in number ) , and perished . The vessel had a wbit « ' atreak jpainted over her bulwarks , but no otb . nr murk could be observed . The sloop Ann Jenny , of Faver « hnm , | was totally lost daring tbe gale of the 28 th alt ., with all hands , constating of seven seamen , most of whom are married men , and have left large families Oa Sunday morning the hHg Symmetry , belonging to Sunderlnnd , was lost between that port and Whitby , in consequence of coming in oollifiion with anotf > er vt esel which was on her voyage from London , and which happily 8 ave < 1 the crew . T' e vessel ha *) a cargo of coals aboard , and her loss is computed at £ 2 500 . I
Ax Ramsay , Id th « Isle ot Vqo , a vessel is sunk in tbe bay , about three milea < . ff the land , supposed to have been run down in the course of Monday nieht ; no tidinffs obtained of her crew . At Newport , in Monmouthshire , two vesaelsi were lost on the same night . These were the sloop D spatch i Biker , master ) and the schooner MatiMa ( Tanford , muster ) , of the same port . These wrecks are sunk at the entrance ot tbe River TJsk . Ob' of the seamen of the former was drowne'l . Accounts were on Thursday last received from Constantinople , dated Feb . 19 co- tainintf the melancholy loss of a Turkish brii ; in the Gulf of Saras daring the heavy gules . Tbe captain and six of hia crew were saved j but the remainder on board , consisting of thirtyfour passengers , many of whom were females , and six seamen . wer « drowned .
Information has been received at Lloyd a from Captain D ' xon , belonging to the Alpha , of Sunderlanrf , of the total loss of a bri ? , with all hands . Captain Dixnn r ports as follows : —On Saturday last , about half-past one o ' clock pin , whilst proceding from Sunderland to Gravesend , and when bearing about five nilea W S . W ., hia attention was iuddecly called to a veaael , which immediately sank with all hinds . The W nd at that time was blowing tempestuously , and the vessel was some distance ahead of the Alpha ; Ciptniu Dixon , however , could see that her topsails were flying as if the nbeeta bad been broken with the fury of the gale He sailed aa fast aa he possibly could
to get to her ; whilat bo doing he saw her turn completely over , and the crew , by some mnnns , got upon tbe broadside . At this time Captain Dixon had got within seven or eight yards of her , but he waa not fully aware , until be saw her turn over , that she needed assistance , therefore thellnea were not ready . Five or six minutes only elapsed from the vessel turning over till ahe went down . On the side seven persons could be seen , and when the ship sunk one man struck out , and waa aeen struggling violently for life ; it ia aapposed that he perished with the rest of the crew . The name of the wreck is unknown , but she was laden with coal , and some of tbe crew of the Alpha state that she bad Scarborough on her stern .

London Corn Exchangb , Monday , Feb 18 . —Tha very huest qua / i ; ies of Wke&t freth op , were mostly disposed of at prices about equal to those obtained on Monday last . All otner qualities had , in some iustances , a downward tendency , without , however , any actual depression beitit ! observed ia their general quotations . For Foreign Wheat , free of duty , previous rates were suppw ' t-d . For Grain under lock prices w ^ re nominal . With the exception of the finest Malting Barley being held with firmness , the Barley trade was m a very sluggish state , at barely previous currencies . For Malt there was no alteration of moment in the quotations . The best Scotch
Oata were quite as dear ; Irish were to be purchased on somewhat easier terms . Beaus and Peas at late rates . Fi » ur at barely last , week ' s prices . London Smithpield Cattle MaBKrt , Mabcii 18 . —The Beof trade was unusually heavy , at a decline on last week's currencies ot fully 2 d . per 81 bs ., the very highest figure realised for the b st Scots and home-breda being only 3 s lOd . per 8 ibs .

It ia very difficult to find really fine Y . C . at the quotation of 41 s . 3 ! ., and for the la-vt three months of tbe year at 41 s . 9 d . The demand from the trade ia London ia certainly very limited , and the oontinued falling off in the delivery leads us to think that the demand from the country is anything but good . Town Tallow is 41 s . to 41 s . 6 d . nott oash .
Manchester Lorn Map ret . —Saturday , Match . 16—The greatest inactivity has prevailed tbrou-houfc the trade during the week , aud the transactions ia ail articles were on bo very limited a scale that prices could only be considered nominally as referring to previous quotations .

merely nominal .

THE CORDWAINERS' COMPANION . London : Strange , Paiernosier Row . This is a miscellany of trade and general information , principally connected with , and id tended to advocate the interests of , that highly useful but much-wronged body , the Boot and Shoemakers . Perhaps no trade has been so productive of eminent men as the Cordwainers . Innumerable are the names of those who , rising from tho humble seal , havo wou for themselves a name by their labours to promote the elevation of their fellow-men . In such a body of operatives , famed for tbeir liberality of sentiment and enlarged views of political and social science , it
must be evident that there can be no want of talent to conduct , nor should there be lack of readers to support , a periodical like this . The first number , published on the 2 nd , and the stcond number on the 16 : h of March , are before as , and we are much pleased with their contents . For the s . ie of the publication , we think M > me of the articles rather too lengthy , as shorter pieces would admit of greater variety and more general information . The Cordwainers' Companion appears at a time when the shoemakers are more than ever in need of honest and talented advocates ; and this publication being peculiarly devoted to the advocacy of their interests , we trust will have their support .

Mr . Cleave is universally knewn to the British public as one of the gallant band who did " the state some service" in these latter days , by breaking down the harriers which narrow-minded governments had placed between the people and that knowledge T ? rhich should be the common properly of all . In that -struggle Mr . Cleave had his share of those punishments which the * ' law" has always in store for innovators who cannot be brought to beheve that the present system is in accordance with " the rule of right and the eternal fitness of things . " Mr . Cleave has now for more than twelve years past beea actively engaged in disseminating cheap and really useful know-edge . The length of time , —six yeara we btlieve , during which ihe first series of the ** Gazette of Variety" has been in course of publication , and the very extensive circulation "which throushont that period it epjoyed , best attest Mr . Cleave ' s eminent success as a caterer for the
instruction and amusement of the public On the alteration of the Stamp Law , and reduotion of the "Taxes on Knowledge" in 1837 , there sprung into existence then , and subsequently , a mass of cheap publications , all of which were lastelets in appearance , and some most abominable trash in matter , to nse no harshpr term . For some time past , the vitiated appetite which supported these publications has betn dying awaj . A purer taste has been called into action ; the public are now not only abandoning the broadsheets of trash in which they formerly delighted , and taking to a higher caste 0 / reading ; but in addition to this , are insisting that even well-conducted periodicals should be brought into a form and appearance more in accordance with good taste than they were wont to be . Hence the recent change is " Cleave's Gazette . "
The pan now before ns is the first monthly part of the new series , which commenced on the 27 th of January last . The present series is in size , shsDe , ' and appearance closeiy similar to " Chambers Edinburgh Journal , ' with this distinction , that there is a difference of one third in ihe cost tn favour of * Cleavr ' s Gt / zette" ! Thu ? , in the part before us , we have fiyt numbers , comprising eighty pages of closely printed Utter press , done up iu an elegant wrapper , all for the price of a single copy of the j Weekly Dispatch ! We have spoken of thej difference in a pecuniary . point of view
between "Ckavt ' s Gazette ? and »* Chambers JoutjujF' ; but let the Miests . Chambers look to their well-earned laurels , —f # r thev are in danger . We are readers of both publications , and we can honestlj aver that there is an amount of literary talent tn-plovea in the " getting up '' of Cleave ' s Gazette ^ calculated to make it a most formidable rival taiheDoribern V «» j / . " Indeed , even th » monthlies are hardly sale from competition , "when we find in the part before us a considerably larger quan'isy of matter than what is conJained in Tail ' s Magazine &Dd that , too , ai one-half the price !
We have neither time nor space to give even a list j of the good things contained in thi- * Part ; suffice it j to say , that here we havr—I . Moral Essays and Sketches of Literature and Character , in a pleasing and familiar style . II . Incidents of Travel at Homo ; and Abroad . III . Information on the Arts and Sciences . IV . Biographical Sketches . T . RomanceB and Tales of Fiction . VI . Reviews of Books , ac-, companied , in maBy casts , with copious extracts ; Vll . Notice * of BtmarkaWe Dij-cevtries and Inventions . Till . Poetry . JX . Miscellaneous Papers , devoted to Genera ] Literature , Art , and Science .
" Wfi have been particularly struck with the " Bio- , graphical Sketches , " which in this , the first monthly part , comprise the eminent and honoured names ot ilczABT ; Nook . Vahal : Joh ^ FLiXMA"t ; William Tbom ; and Tbeodobe Kobseb . These alone make this exctlJpnt publication wonh far more than its , cost , and wonld alone render it worthy of the patronage of the public . p * We mifcht as well pretend to judge of the pudding by a solitary plain , as to attempt to give onr 1-eaders an idea of ihe contents of this publication bj any nir&cl for which wt could possibly find room . Oar friends will best decide by bujiDg and jndging for thenifelveB .
In conclusion we have ody to again recemmend this highly useful and eniertaining publication to those for whom it is principaliy intended— the many ] as one every Kay ¦ worthy of their patronage , because calculated to improve and instinct , and render most important service to the progression of humanity .
