Tbe movements in Lyons in 1816 , were in fact bat the prelude to the more violent outbreaks of eighteen months afterwards ; the results wmpromised JJe-« rpg and big agents in tbe most deplorable manner : it was ia fact a t & innisli of the parties , —a prologna acted by those grand dramatists , tbe Talleyrand—FoncM ainiBtry , tiie _Orieanist faction , and Paul _Didier-H » ncernfng wbose _proceedingBthemostsigni _Seant and culpable silence was maintained by

However , the executive in those days did not Itnrrv themselves in their decisions ; the plot which failed on the 20 th of January , was inquired _intoon the 26 th of August ; an interval of _sixmonths " as thus left fer the drama at Grenoble to be played out , and the success or failure of Didier to be decided . let had not an extraordinary fatality , or some yet deeper machination interfered , nothing could have heen more easy than to stifle this rebellion in its birth . Thefollowing vere the factB elicited by the judicial inquiry . ... . .. ,
That there existed a revolationary association of fitch the centre was Paris , under the innnediate Protection of the resigned minister-, and which spread itself through _^ even the extremities of _iianc-e . . -. , Tbat _PaulDidierhad , under the name of Auguste , ken sent by the chief committee at Pans to Lyons , nd bad presided in the meetings held at tbe chief _^ _inters'boosea . ,. . ... And finally , that in these meetings , in written Proclamations , and in intercepted letters , personages If the highest rant had been compromised , and their lanes had been used , with a boldness sufficiently krinz , to at least excite suspicion . Well ! these names were religiously concealed , the _Association of National Independence waB suffered to sontinue its tranquil career , Faul Didier was allotted to continue unmolested his revolutionary

But tbat minister saw at once tlie whole danger of the conspiracy . He spoke openly and energetically of the seditious conferences tf Uie ' * ex-ministers : he accused Fouche , Carnot , and Talleyrand of having woven the plot of which he beld one intricate thread .

One pound is , I think , a sufficiently generous donation , and as the lady's time is in other ways
greatly occupied in furthering the interests of the working classes , it would be unjustifiable to impose npon . her . kindness , in regard to the . * collars . ' If , however , any friends wish to haTe collars , I shall bave no objection to receive orders , it being understood that the cash sent tome will be paid over to the lady in return for her work .

accompanied by such other information on the subject as might be considered of use . ' Being at a loss with whom we should correspond , I am directed by the delegates to request that , if in your power , you will insert in the next week ' Northern Star , to whom the rules , had better be forwarded .

Rotai Polttech-Mc L-Stit-Moir.—A Highly ...
Rotai _Polttech-mc _L-STiT-moir . —A highly important invention has been just added to the numerous works of mecbaHical art already deposited m the establishment . It consists of an apparatus for propelling carriages up inclined planes on railroads , and ia invented and patented by Mr Galloway , the engineer- The application may be thus described . In the centre of ths road , between the rails , is fixed a strong baulk of wood , with a grooved , rail firmly fitted on it for the purpose o f receiving two horizontal wheels , one on each side ; these wheels arc in communlcatien with , ihe engine , and when the train arrives at the bottom of the incline , the wheels are put in motion and take it up with great facility , and in its downward course alsoacts the part of a break , the whole being allowed to descend with any given amount of velocity . The principle is beautifullv
illustrated in the model , which is daily exhibited and explained amongst tbe other demonstrations by Mr Crisp , the engineer , in the Great Hall of the establishment . Sheridan once declined to walk with a lady on account of the unpleasant weather . The lady soon afterwards discovered him going out alone . 'It ' B cleared up , 1 see , Mr Sheridan . ' ' Yes , madam , it has cleared up enough for one , but not for two . ' An eminent French statistical writer took his station near thc staircase , at a London ball , for the _nurpege of ascertaining the proportion of gentlemen who arranged their hair with their fingers before entering tbe room . He found them to average about twenty-nine out of thirty , those who had least or most bair usually occupying most time .

' : TO THE . _^ ORKiNt CLASSES . ¦ - ¦ Mr wsA 8 Fan-BDB , ' ¦ - My last letter bad so considerably ecceeaea the limits usually assigned to it , I was compelled to delay for a week , the ' consideration of some of the properties ofthe Adverb . _: !; _= ; _:,, " . I told yon that it showed the manner of the verb . I must now add , that it is frequently used to increase the power of adjectives ; which , you know , mark the quality of the Noun . Thus , we say . * very beautiful , ' ' extremely rich , ' to express a higher order of beauty and greater wealth than the . adjectives ' beautiful , ' 1 rich , ' would , of themselves , describe .
We also frequently use two adverbs together ; fer the same purpose as we join an adverb and an adjective , namely—to give the second adverb _greateriorce : " as 'be writes very correctly . ' : Many adverbs are formed by adding ly to adjec * tives-as ' _stoeef , sweetly , ' ' bedutifulibeaut _^ ully '' but ' although almost all the words that end in ly are Adverbs , there are many words which have not that termination ; which are also Adverbs ; "Whenever you may be in doubt , remember the- rule I have given you—that * the Adverb shows the manner of _the . Verb , ' and cannot be used witb ; a Noun , as the Adjective is only used with a Noun or its sufcstU tute , a Pronoun , expressed or supposed . ,
We . _. -now . . come to the seventh , part of Speech , namely—The . Pkeposition . . Prepositions are mostly small words , and are used to show the _jjo / i _tfonor _refaiion of thiDgs to each other . For instance—I will describe my position with regard to things around me . lamm a room , or a chair , near the fire , beyond the window ; at a table , beneath the ceiling , before the wall _, ~ a 6 oee the floor . ' Observe how accurately these words describe my situation . These words are prepositions . You may always know them by putting the word' look' before any word ; and if after the word ; if it makes sense , that word is a Preposition ; " as 'look at , '' look after , ' 1 look about . ' '; i _.- •'¦•
; The eighth part of Speech is the Conjunction . It is used to join words' aud sentences together ; so asto connect them in the mind .. ' I wish to have a cottage and garden , that I may live comfortably * therefore I will work hard to obtain them . ' . You see the words ' and , ' 'that , ' * therefore , 'join together three sentences . ; . ' ; ...: . 'is- ; . ! Interjisctions are words thrown into a , sentence to express some sudden feeling , and having no connection with , the sentence itself . I think they are scarcely worthy of . being called a part of speech , since , they are only to us human animals , what howling is to a dog , or neighing to a horse . Such are Oh I Alasi . Ah \ and many other similar words . In writing an interjection , you should always follow it by this mark (!) which is termed a note of
admiration . . We have now gone through the definitions of the different Parts of Speech , which , ybu . will remember , contain , in some one division , every word it is possible to utter . You will remember that Notjn is merely a Name . _' That tW _Article limits the _Noum The Adjective shows its quality . The Verb gives life and action to the Noun . The Adverb is joined to the cero to _eho-ff the manner of the action . ; The _Prokotjk stands forthe Noun . ' The Preposition shows tbe position or relation ' of things to each" other . The Conjunction i ' _oj ' m sentences together .
The'Interjection is merely' an exclamation of pain , pleasure , surprise , or any other sudden feeling . _; - And now , before I proceed to explain to you the ' changes which those parts of speech , undergo , I will give you some directions for acquiring a perfect knowledge of the words themselves , since itis absolutely necessary you should learn to distinguish , a Noun from a Verb , and so on , before you attempt to go into the peculiarities of each word .
I will suppose yon seated in a class round a table , provided with slate 3 , pencils , a bit ofwet rag or sponge ; and a small' Johnson ' s Dictionary . ' . You may buy a new pocket editition of this valuable book for Is or ls . 6 _di , and if two or three joiii to purchase fine for their mutual benefit , ' they ; will think their few pence well laid out . ' Being all prepared in this manner , and having carefully read over my descriptions of the different words , yon will each write on your slate a Noun ; the name of something—say Man tben put an article to distinguish whether you mean any one . ( for which , purpose you must use the indefinite " a _^ or an ) , or some particular man ( in ! which case the definite the will be proper . ) Pro- _* ceed , now , to give character to the Noun by the
addition of . the Adjective , and say , 'An industrious Man . ' Give action to the noun man , by adding a verb—say , 'An industrious man works ; ' lint all men _wor * in some way—with hands , or head , or both—and those who work at useless idleness , do , in my opinion , the hardest work of all ; so that , to say ' an industrious man wonts' is not saying enough . We nmst show how he works , by the assistance of an Adverb _^ _kn industrious man' works ' 'diligently . Our sentence begins to' express a meaning , but if we wish to continue to speak of the man , we must use the pronoun , and add . ' he rises early ( another verb and adverb ) and is in his ' garden at sunrise . ' You ' see the word aruf joins the two sentences together ; and the prepositions , in and or , show his relation with respect to his garden , and to tbe time of
sunrise . Whenever you are in doubt about a word refer to your dictionary , where you will firid , after the words n for noun ( or perhaps « for substantive ; they mean the same thing , ) a for article , adj . for adjective , _^ ro . for pronoun , v for verb ,, aft-, for adverb , prep , for preposition , eon ' , for conjunction ; and inf . for interjection . '; ' _¦ ' _" '• _- " ' '• ' ¦''•• ¦ ¦ '¦ _i And now , as I have given , you quite _sufficient work to occupy yen for a week , I will take advantage ofa little vacant space to say , a . few words ' on the subject of Writing , wbich , you may remember , I
advised you to acquirefromFoster s Pencilled Copy Books . You will see an advertisement of the prices of these books in another part of the paper ; and I should recommend you to obtain the Parochial copy books , 'through Mr Foster hiniself , ' as they are ihe cheapest , and equally good with the Others . In fact , if you can order one hundred at a time they will only cost about ten shillings , and this quantity will be sufficient to teach four persons to write well . These books have been designed expressly for the benefit of those persons who wish to acquire a good band without -the aid of a master . Mr FosterV plan is as simple as . possible .. You begin with
straight strokes , and gradually proceed from strokes to pothooks , then to the easiest letiers ; afterwards the books contain the more difficult letters , and finally , words and sentences . ' - ! The guidance is of two sorts : —1 st . —pencilled copies for training ; 2 nd—pencilled copies , alternated with lines in the direction the letters ought to he made , and at the proper distances from each other . Now mark—these slanting lines , which you will see between some ofthe lines of letters , are only to show you where _. the thick part of the letter is to be , and these alternate lines are to be filled up precisely like the top line ofthe copy .
_.- Any further information with regard to forming writing classes , or in explanation ofthe copy books , I ara authorised to say that Mr Foster will himself furnish you with , gratuitously . .. .. ... ' Ih my next letter to you I shall explain some of the changes which the parts of speech are liable to undergo . Meantime , I trust that by pursuing carefully the plan I have laid down for the formation of sentences , you will become perfectly acquainted with all the sorts of words ;
It gives me great pleasure to hear that seme of the readers of my Letters on Grammar are forming classes for the study of those letters , because it assures me that my labour will not be in vain , since iyou are disposed to help ] yourselves . Nothing that s really worth acquiring can be gained without labour ; aU that the best teacher can do is to simplify that labour , and prevent the learner from wasting his time in learning that which is of no value . I am , your very sincere Friend , M . M . P .

* Undertfiaabove heading sn _articleappearo In the H * no * r _nawtpapsr . of the 4 th _Isitant . y ' _. _^ y-¦ ' "Che writer commences by accusing ; a ' certain _port'on ' of j fte public with _hebg marvellously ' ' stupid , ' beoauia they have , not yet ' _jieWableto _underetand bis views witb regard ' to the _tonstituHori of the' ConfederatloB , _* asto who art ' ellgible to become membera of that body , kc _. & c . Ivery much fear . _thithU article wUlriottend to dissipate the dnluesi of , which , the impatient writer complains . Indeed , I . think itwill be generally ' allowed by any person who peruses It to ' soar . so far above the region of common _senesa ' t to be _utterlynnSt for average undentsndlngs . The very head . * lne of this ' article is unfortunate . ' ' Irish Confederation—theiNation , ' What nation t Is H the Irish nation , or tho newspaper , !;¦ We are obliged to guess ,. The openiBg , paragraph states that— :
; ' The stupid portion of the publio req . ulro explanation on certain poiati . ' ' ¦ This ' shows two things : first , that the writer is in a very bad temper ; next , tbat bis teachings , have b _« en ud . equal to the . enlightenment of the pubiic mind . We may fairly assume that his anger lathe result ofhis dis . appointment at finding that he has undertaken a task of more difficulty than ha reckoned on ; and though he may make believe that it is lack of acum « ri tri his readers , yet we may justly conclude , that , notwithstanding all Mb vanity , the worthy editor hat some misgivl'igs as to the clearness and force of hiB _unsucceisfnl txpoihlons .
The first point whioh be professes to _' _set at ' rest is ' Whether any sections or classes : of Irishmen are exeluded from the _Cpafederation J' The second Is , 'How far those who join the Confederation' are bound by the _doctrlees , on raatteri of state policy , of the Nation newspaper . ' He cays , on the first point , that the Confederation reqairei no sacrifice of any Irishman's peculiar political " viewi—nor' any ' waiver of them , or : silence about them . ' ;• Orangemen , Chartists , Old Irelandersall are , welcome , into tbe Irish ' Confederation , provided they be honest repealers . '' Now , this sounds very well ; and if it were trae , would ' be a _latitudinarianism hitherto nnknown in Ireland . But it is not true ; or if it be , the Confederation have changed their practices as well _as ' pro ' _feiiions . Can any one bave read the _Natiow without seeing that that paper disclaimed , on the part of the Confederation , aU . ' _(* bart ' st connexion . ' Did it not , with an uncourteoua ' and authoritative ' voice ,
declare ,. that between it and Chartism . there was- ' a gulf , ' whioh it should be tbe _eudeavoar of Young Ireland not to ' bridge over , ' but to render more' wide arid deep . ' Was this opening their ranks to Chartism ! Was it by telling tbe , Chartists that they , tho .. Nation , considered the ' fivepoints an abomination , ' thut they expected to ericburnge Chartist co-operation ; which they now profess to desire ? . Was it by , aliening Mr Meagher to preach on their public platform against 'democracy , and refusing to publish the letter of Dyott , the _Cbartist , in answer to that gentleman , that they expected to convince the world of their justice and impartiality t ' Was it'by _tednlorisly endeavouring to get rid of the alarming alltgatlo ' n that' Mr . O'Higgins bad ascended theirrostrum that they proposed to evince their wish for an amalgamation of all Irishmen ? ' As to Old Irelanders , or Orangemen , joining thera without ceasiag to be such , the thing is too absurd to require any coin . / ¦
ment . ....... _.-... ....., ¦ ' ¦ On the second point , the writer of the article in question . is _^ _^ of _^ opinion—that * thesame answer : _mighteu'Sce ;' butfor ' a more explicit reply , he refers us tb ' the « reverse side ofa Confederate card , ' where it is thus written : — 'That , inasmuch as the essential , . bond . of . union amongst as ii the assertion , of Ireland ' s right to an tr . dependent legislature , no member of the Irish Confederation shall be bound to { the adoption of aay principle involved in . any , resolution , or promulgated by any speaker in the' Society , or any journal advocating its policy , to which he has not given his special consent , save only the foregoing fundamental principles ef tbe Society . ' ' " '¦' . -- ' - ¦ ¦ ¦ ' ¦
No it , perhaps , a more extraordinary , proposition was never putforward , than this idea of having abody without any power of acting for its members ; passing _rese . lotions ,, which are riot to be considered binding , unless every man in the society gives his special . _ponsent ; and supporting journals , without any' reference to the' political principles which they uphold ! What would be the use of _tach a body , and such newspapers ! Nobody could say , on the constitution of thia Confederation , _sb explained by the ' writer iri the Natio _» , whether the act 6 of the one , or the article ) of the other , were a true nflex , or any reflex whatever , of the . opinion of the association . Besides , it is folly to say that no member would be bound by anything said or done by a political association , of which he formed a part—the , Attorney-General would never listen to such 8 doctrine—aB the members of the Confederation will find , if ever they should be' 60 unfortunate as to specially engage the attention of that troublesome official .
The writer in the Nation goes on to say , that he entertains his own 'decided opinions '—he does not soy on what—and that he will preach and propound them ' with all his might , ' without , of course , any reference to tha feelings ofhis readers , of whom' he seems gloriously independent . _>•; . In the next paragraph , he' says of the Confederation , that it desires to ' grow into an Irish nation ;' and for that purpose , demands the assistance of all parties , Orangemen , Cbartists , and even Whigs . . He leaves oat the Old Irelanders here , whom he esteems worse , I presume , than the Whigs . "¦ •'• ' - _i'l
He next says , that there are no politics' involved in the question of belaud . This is an odd declaration , I had thought that politics , both at home and abroad , were tobe closely ' watched , and skilfully ' ¦ handled , io as to 6 * made ' . auxiliary to , and promotive Of Repeal , The state of Europe , the prospect of war , the sympathy of foreign states , the internal condition of England herself , the organisation of Irishmen , all ' questions of polities , ' I was stupid enough to believe had much to do with the agitation of Repeal . Of parties the writer thus speaks : — ' To a free nation parties may he an ornament and a strength—to a pitiful , pelting province they are a weakness and a , disgrace . ' It is not very easy to see how parties can be either an ornament or a strength ; they are' evils incidental to society ' which cannot be averted , and must ofcourie . be
endured ; but there is neither ornament _aor strength , as far as I can see , in the _aicknairieB arid irrationalities of faction . The writer also tells as in this paragraph , that we are a ' discrowned state , ' and therefore have no right to have anything to do with ' politics , ' by which he understands' the rights and duties of citizenship . ' Now ia the name of ill tbat is wonderful , how does this gentleman purpose _proting that we are a 'discrowned state ? ' 'Unfortunately , ' as a republican would say , we have all the honour and cost of maintaining a crown on tbe head of a dynasty , not likely to fail in supplying ns with ' gracious sovereigns , ' till the crack of doom ; so that if a crown can be essential to maintaining the rights , and performing the duties of citizenship , we have , on that head , no excuse for yielding the one , or evading the other .
Inthe next , which is tbe concluding paragraph of this paper ; the writer tells the Chartists ' to keep their five points' till we are a free na tiori . Why , if we were ' a free nation ' we should have the'five / or rather the ' six points , ' conceded . The mere repeal of the Act of Union would not free us ; if six-sevenths of the people were still left unenfranchised ; it would only bring _'« be tyranny of class legislation cloBer to the doers of the people ; ' Universal Sutfrage , ' this gentleman . ' goes , on to say , would « nnder the present parliamentary govern ment , be ari universal auction and mart of men ' s souls , ' How so 1 Is it iri the narrowness of the _constltuerioiesi that _thlsgentleraan finds _poiiiicaisalvntiori and security against' | _brruptibh ° ' ! _J If 80 _^^^ repeal the Beform'Act , arid let Old Saruin become a riiodel 'bbrorigh - onco mere _.
Who could corrupt or coerce ' universally ? particularly if the ballot threw- its protection ovor the ' dependent _iVOter , and rendered the bargain between corruption and veBality impossible of contract . But the writer waxos more rabid still ; he says , ' rather than annual elections he would wish a disfranchisement of the island ,- and instead of paying members to attend parliament he would vote them ' a , handsome sum for Staying away . ' He finally concludes thus : — ' Be your points bad or good , degrade net yourselves , by seeking them of a foreign legislature , let Ireland be once sui jarti ; and then we will talkof the five points- '' Iri' the meanwhile , be assured tbat inthe Irish Confederation ,-as hereafter in the _Irish . nation , there is room for all Irish parties . '
Now the concluding words ofthis paragraph , subtended to those which occur in another , form a very inconsistent alliance , and lead to _averyiridiculous conclusion , '; Parties , ' aays tbe writer previously , in a' pitiful , pelting pro * virice' ( meaning ; Ireland ,. ' . of _] eourse ) _, ; . _^ _'iire ' a ' weakness and dlsgrace ., ' . i ...... ' .,. mearirfhilei be ' assured ' there'is room in the Irish Confcde ' ratjon for " all _Ii-iBb parties , ' —i . e . room in the Irish Confederation for ' weakness and disgrace / Well ; I _alwaysconsidtred that ther ' e ) was much folly and « weakness ' about this said Confederation , but I _jiust confess . I should have hesitated to ascribe to it ' disgrace ? Tho candid editor will allow , I think , after this , that his readers havo net a monopoly of ' stupidity ' and' confusion of ideas . ' But , this writer would disfranchise the whole island—lay it ' < under political
interdiet—and pay the _^ members' for staying away from the imperial legislature . How does he reconcile this Witt ) the indignation of Young Ireland about not contesting Dungarvan ! Is there such a discrepancy in the opinions even of the conductors of tho Nation , that while one writer utters these words , another prepares a carefully collated analysis ofthe present composition of the House of Commons ' , and gloats in the fact tbat Repeal has acquired an ' aceession of senatorial strength ? But , in one word , if this gentleman , ' I dare riot ' call him a politician , because he eschews ' " politics "—if he refuses to agitate for the extension of the franchise , and contemns
_pavliamentary power , ia what way does lie exp « ot to repeal the Union ? He repudiates ' physical force ' , and if ho did not he possesses ' none adequate to the contest ; he reject ' s with contumely any assistance from English parties —though Mr Shlel declared _atthetrialofO'Conncll _. _thtt a junction oithe industrious classes of Ireland with those of England was certain to overwhelm any administration—yet he will , In ' imitation of Mr O'Connell ' s insanity or treachery on this point , persist in doing his utmost to prevent that junction . How , then does he propose to repeal the Unim ? It will not do ' to shake his head aad say , ' He has away ofhis own . ' Political cre dulity ie passing away . The statute of Union , like any

other bad law , can only be rescinded _constitutionally by the acquirement of parliamentary power ; tfce , _shart « lt way to do this is , to raiso a formidable _opposition to secure the inalienable right of every ' miri to all men—tbe franchise—which _CobbsttjnstJyipronoUBced ' _thepoi-r man " ln ] 1 Protection , ' which it is robbery to deprive him t ii , _£ , ''"¦' < Jo this ls obT , 0 U 8 '• three millions arid a half of Esgllshmeo , intermingled with Irish residents , have pronounced for Repeal ; they are pledged to it , they are ready to coalesce with repealers ; let repealers cordially unite with them . Let them struggle together for the power of returning real representatives to the House of Commons , amUhey will realise the . assertion of tho Master of the Mint-they will compel ministers to make such an alteration as regards , the constituencies of
Enit-Jand and Ireland as will produce a Parliament that will delight te sm . ct . the justice of restoring . _self . goverhWnt to Ireland . Remember that it was by doubling the representation of the people in Prance . that the revolution was effected . Let no man say that the plan we Chartists pursue is not , a _ direct one . It is the most direct . Any other attempts are futile and _inadeqaate _^ ond but so roach time and energy wasted . At all events , here is a plan definitely put forward : and we have aright to ask theConfoderation to adopt it , or show us abetter , Up to the present time they ; haye done nothing , there is a mysterious vagueness about their movements vthicri they must _^ themselves ba pairifuily ' . cbriscious of , and . the shuffling and incorriprekensiblo article which we have just criticised only adds a fresh entanglement to the
unexplorable labjrinth . of there designs .., Tho democracy of England is the honest and intelligent power capable of achieving - ' and destined to achieve , the political salvation of these countries . ' , Hethat hath ears to hear let him hear . ' If tho Natioh ia offering insultand _repudiation to that mighty association , the Chartists of England , has only put forwardan individual opinion at the time it pretended to speak for the _Confederatioa , let the Confe : deration forthwith disclaim the foul and malapert passage to which I have alluded , and not continue to both coHntrie 8 thewr . _tphedrand : prejudice ~ d _; _aissensions fatal to each . If the Confederation wiil not do this , somebody elso must , and to whoever shall ; the _peopled both countries , will owe a debt of gratitude as _lastiag as the service he renders willbe great . ; ' ' ¦ . _" _:- ' . ¦ ' ¦ ¦¦ ' ¦' ¦ : ' ' ¦' ¦' _-:: ' _,- , V _/> _.--, V : _W .

Celestial Phenomena . —In' the course of five or six weeks , most of the planets visible to the naked eye will be seen in the evenings , shining in their usual splendour . Venus _hasj for some considerable time past , been a conspicuous object in the western part of the heavens ; _but'she is now at a very low altitude at sunset , and sets a little before nine o ' clock p . m . With a good telescope she appears as a halfmoon , inclining to a crescent . She will continue as an evening star till tho beginning of October , and , till then , will appear through tho telescope inthe form ofa crescent , gradually becoming more slender till the period of . her conjunction with the sun _,, on the 3 rd of October , when ber dark side is completely turned towards the earth , and . she is
consequently invisible . Saturn has again made his appearance in the south-east , where he may ba seen , near the horizon , about ten p . m . The ring of this planet appears at present only like a line of light on each side of its disc , and its opening-is scarcely visible . About the early part of 1848 the ring will be invisible , and only a dark stripe will be seen across the _^ disc of the planet . The planet Mare may be seen rising a little to the north of the eastern part of the Leavens , before ten and eleven p . m . Ho will appear in his greatest brilliancy about the end of October . Jupiter will again make his appearance , at a late hour in the evening , about the end of September . In the beginning of October he will be seen rising ia the north-east , between ten and eleven o ' clock in the evening .
The Sabbath in Scotland . —The Grand Duke Constantine , during his tour in that region , visited the islands of S tafia arid Iona' in the Shearwater . It chanced that he arrived at the latter on a Sunday . The stern eld keeper of the cathedral keys refused to unlock the gate and admit the party to see the tombstones , for that would , in his opinion , have been to desecrate the Sabbath . In vain did Capt ; Robinson ask imploringly whether he was aware who the illustrious stranger was whom he refused to gratify * Donald 'Didna exactly ken .

When lib . of lean beef , free from fat , and separated from tho bone , in tbe finely-chopped state in which it is used for beef _sausayes or mince-meat , is uniformly mixed with its own weight of cold water , slowly heated to boiling , and Ihe liquid after boiline briskly ler a minute or two , is strained
through a towel from the coagulated aioumen ana Bbrine , now become hard aud horny , we obtain an eaual wciaht of tho most aromatio . soup , of such strength as cannot be obtained , even by boiling for hours from a piece of _fleshi When used with salt , andtlio other usual additions by which soup is usually seasoned , and tinged Bomewhat _^ darker by means of roasted onions or burnt sugar . it fonrj 8 the verv best soup which oan in any way be prepared from lib . of flesh . _,, _' _- .. . _' ...
