Besides those individuals , a aaore diligent search wuld discover fully fifty more whose relatives nave potent motives for supporting Whig-Radical governjnfint . Many members have sons in the navy , and a g lance at the navy list will show how these gentle jnen prosper ; others have connexions in the army , and even there they are not quite unheeded . * Some have brothers or cousins in the church , and if so , jtray deaneries or bishopricis may fall to their lot astkeydid to Dr . Denison , Bi * hop of Salisbury , Dr . Stanley ; of Norwich , andDr . Howard , Dean of ' Lacb .-feld , who were well represented in parliament ; like
Pr . Lousier . Bishop of Ripon , brother-in-law of Sir Henry PameU ; Dr . Allen , Bishop of Ely , tutor of Lord Althorp ; and Dr . Otter , Bishop of Chichester , 1 & ? father-in-law .-of a Liberal member for Derby . Other members may happen to nave friends in the colonies , or relations who have no peculiar dislike to li-dring remote settlements . II so , dozens of places are constantly to be hsA in every quarter of lie el be . There is something good ready for every aae who wants ; just as in the child ' s game of ~ open ytrar mouth and shut your eyes , and « ee what God ¦* iH send y ou . " But certainly the shutting the eyes 12 the main point in the Whig proceedin s .
With such-lists before them as we have here produced , how does it happen , that no jealous WMg opponent of the influence of the Crown now makes a motion like Lord Brougham ' s r There is more provocation than ever , more corruption , and there are more -placemen in Parliament . But , in truth lie influence of the Crownis not increased ; nothing is ancmented bnt the public expenditure and the kSnence of the Whig-Radical faction . We find smoDg the voies cf the current year charges which dearly denote the creation of a very large number cf new places throughout the country . In Ireland "Siere is a charge of £ 66 . 700 for the expenses of crbrvinal prosecutions , the chief part of wnich goes
is the parment of salaries , and not a small number d those entirely new ones . In England there is an uem of . £ 5-1 , 000 a-year for Poor Law Commissioners , ill of -which is spent in the payment of newly created officers . Further on , we find £ 14 , 700 a-year fa Slave Commissioners , who enjoy almost absolute snecures ; £ 9 , 055 a-year for the new Superintenfeits of Factories ; £ 6 , 000 for new Inspectors of Prisons ^ £ 5 , 000 a-year for the Steam Tvavieation 3 omEj ; ypt to India ; £ 5 , 100 for the Criminal Law Commissioners ; 4 , 213 for the Record Commis smers ; £ 4 , 000 lor the Scotch Church Commission ; £ 1500 for the Ecclesiastical Commission ; £ 4 , 010 is the Hand-loom Weavers' Commission ; £ 700 for
Efi Irish Charity Commission ; £ 7-000 for the Irish Boundary Survey j and £ 12 , 700 for the Irish Railtsy Commission . All these charges are entirely 5 £ w , and all , with very many more that might be lamed , go to the payment of new placemen- We mi an annual grantin the estimates of this year of S 0 . OO 0 for the purposes of the Irish Board of Ednatkm .- in 1836 , the sum voted was only £ 35 . 000 . Another charge of a ^ peculiar nature is £ 13 , 000 for Is * expenses , which appear to have increased £ 3 JX ) 0 ia a single year ; while Lord Palmerston ' s official charge is an ' increase , of £ 10 , 000 on the charge of tvo years back . The expenses of Canada are increased exactly £ 500 . 000 while the grant to the
, Qmrch in that colony is reduced "by about £ 3 , 000 . Some of the usual miscellaneou * estimates , against " * iich the Whigs used formerly most loudly to profet . are now under their superintendence , raised to sb extraordinary height . The Consular department « r 1 S 3 S , is £ 107 , 993 f the repairs of palaces , gardens , Sad pnbHc boHdings , £ 7-4 , 986 ; ilie convict esta-BfelmentinNew Sonth Wales , £ 335 , 000 j the charge fe printing , £ 197 , 796 . Many other charges to which Mr . Hume and the rest of the Whig-Radicals used » _ object altogether , are continued by the present Boasters , contrary to their repeated professions and pamises . What ' has induced them of late to aciaowlecge the propriety of a grant of £ 35 , 900 a-year
et secret service money ; and what has caused their ' ° P 5 » ation to cease to that large vote of nearly £ 70 . 000 a-vear to Irish charities which the much * tased Tories used regularly to obtain ? These JEsceHaneous estimates have been rapidly on the Boease from the day Lord Melbourne came into G&ce , and nave placed immense means in the hands rf tie ministry for corrupt purposes . They have increased , because the influence and patronage of ™ s Government had beep widely extended under * 3 sorts of pretences , and in every possible direction . In the Colonial department , Lord Glenelg has the peonage derived from the new magisterial system a de West Indies , to which £ 69 , 000 is annually ^ sd ; he has the appointment of the managers of
^ s £ 30 . 000 a-year voted for negro education 5 the Patronage of a few snng foreign jobs like the Malta B&mni&aon j the appointment of the new chaplains Std schoolmasters to New South Wales and Canada ; fie appointmpnt of placemen in all new settlements , a South Australia , Graham ' s Town , New Zealand , ** . ; die management of the emigrant agencies , for * iich Parliament votes nearly £ 2 , 000 a-year , and ^ £ patronage of the whole establishment at St .

hon 6 st man j and seiiouily , this is not so very much exaggerated , when it is considered that in addition to all these new places , the Customs and Excise still remain with their 16 , 000 places . In olden times , Ministries were quite content with these sources of patronage , and with the army , navy , and colonies ; Jbut now things are quite altered ; commissions , and all the other new places we have named , have sprung up to keep these liberal and enlightened Reformers in office . honest man ; aiidsenoni ^ flus knot so very much
ISSANITY CURED BY THE PATIENT HIMSELF 1 m "I recollect a case which occurred to me tbirtyiive years ago , of a seaman , who had T > een Irving m a-very intemperate ¦ way for some time , until he became so maniacal that he could not be kept on board his ship . He was sent to the workhouse at Hull , where he had only been a few days when he leaped out of the window ; in consequence , as he afterwards related to me , of believing that the devil wanted to get possession of him . He thought he should escape him if he could but get out of the house . He said he felt quite free for some time , but he at last heard him beneath the pavement , wherever he went into the town . He then thought that if he could onl y leap on board of ship , which was at some little distance from the wharf , he should
avoid him ; but he had not been long on board before he felt convinced that he was scratching at the bottom of the vessel , and it then occurred to him , that if he got on shore and cut his throat , he should be safe . He borrowed a knife from a sailor ,-whom he met , and instantly cut hk throat from ear to ear . As is very nsual in these attempts at self-destruction , the pharynx was wounded , but the carotids were uninjured ; the hemorrhage from the superficial vessels -was enormous . The parts were speedily brought together ; the wound healed by the first intention : he was never insane one moment alter the brain was relieved by the immediate loss of blood : He related to me all the above circumstances ; he got perfectly well , and went to sea , within a month after his unsuccessful attempt at self-destrnction . "
OCCUPATION A CURE FOR IXSAXTTT . " A carpenter was admitted as a patient into the asylum at Wakefield . He had previously made jiSveral attempts at sel :-destrnction , and was then in a very desponding state . After the diseased action had subsided , great dejection still remained ; he was , however , placed under the care of the gardener , who was then constructing a kind of grotto or mosshouse in the grounds . The contriving the building offered a scope for his taste and ingenuity . He was consulted on the arrangement of the floor , which was formed of pieces of wood of different kinds , set in various figures . Pie was furnished with tool < , though he was , of course , most carefully watched . He took so great an interest in the little building that the current of his thonehts was changed . All his " miseries were forgotten . " and his recovery took place at the end of a few months . He very " justly attributed his restoration to the ' moss-house . " '
AXECDOTES OF PATIE 5 TS . " Manyyear * ago , -when the workmen were fitting np the asylum at Wa . kefi . eLl with gas-pipes , one ot them carelessly left ,, in one of the wards , an iron chisel more than three feet long . A very powerful and violent patient seized it , and threatened to kill any one that should go near him . Keepers and pat ients all got ont of his way , and he alone was soon in possession of the gallerv , no one daring to go near him . After waiting a litde time , until he was at the further end of it , 1 went towards him quite alone . I opened the door , and balancing the key of the ward
on . the back of my hand , walked very slowly towards him , looking intently upon it . Hi ' s attention was immediately attracted ; he came towards me , and inquired what 1 was doing . I told him 1 was trying to balance the key , and said attbe same time that he could not balance the chisel iu the same way . on the back of his hand . He immediately placed " it there ; and extending his hand with the chisel upon it , 1 took it off very quietly , and without making any comment . Though he seemed a httle chagrined at having lost his weapon , he made no attempt to regain it , and in a short time the irritation parsed
away
NATURAL AFTECTIOX OF THE IXS-iXE . . "The 'love of children' is another very powerful and general feeling , particularly amongst women . Great . advantage may be taken of it , in diverting the mind from painful reflections . I have frequently known a patient , who has been for some time in a state of great excitement , become quite calm on the sight of a child , and amuse herself in attending to it for hours together . Indeed , where the love of children is strongly marked , conversation on the subject , judiciously timed , rarely fails to produce soothing * and salutary results . It is impossible to accouDt for the great eflvct occasionally produced in the minds of the insane by circumstances apparently most trivial The result is beautifully" given in tiie " following lines : —
" Oh , reason ! who shall say what spells renew When least we think of ft , thy broken clue I Through what small ^ istas o ' er the datktnM brain , Tfiy intellectual day-beams burst again ; And how , like foru , to which beleaguers win Cnhoped-for entrance through somt friend within , One-dear idea w&ken'd in the breast By memory ' s magic , leu in all the Test . " "A practical illustration occurred at Wakefield . H . R ., a female abont forty years of age , had been insane for some years when admitted . She was a very robust woman , and being usually in a state of excitement , wa 3 the terror of all the patients in the ward , when not in confinement . If at any time a softened influence could be produced upon " her , and
more gentle feelings called forth , it was by referring to the scenes of early life . One day , when under these impressions , a patient began a song , which she had learnt when a girl , when turning to my wife , who stood near her , she said with great animation , - * "Mistress , when I was young I knew that song , and I think I could sing it now . ' She began , and with the greatest delight , found she remembered the whole . of it . From that hour a ' change came o ' er the spirit of her dream : ' her excessive violence gave place to the more amiable and kindly feelings . Instead of being the dread of all about her , she Decame obliging and indnstrious . After some months of trial she got well and returned home . Some years afterwards she came over to pay us a visit , and at
that period had had na return of this disease . The advantage of presence of mind and apparent confidence in the patients , when from circumstances p laced in their power , during a paroxysm , was strikingly exemplified in the cdnduct of my wife towards this patient . In one of hen most furious' ebullitions of passion she contrived to seize her , and to twist her hand in her hair at the back of her head , and she looked at her with a countenance expressive of the utmost rage , and told her to . at she could 'twist her head round ; ' which , from ier great strength , was almost literally the truth ; Ahen my wife -answered , with perfect calmness , \ Yyes , you could ; but I know you would not hurt a siagle hair . ' This confident appeal pacified her , andihe immediately quitted her hold . " - f
CAUSES OF IN 8 A 7 . - ITY—CASES IN POINT AT WAKEFIELD AND hYxWELL . - "The state of poverty ik not only a source from which the disease ( insanity ^ first originates , but it very frequently is the cause ) of relapses . Remo \ al from the scenes of misery wpich have been so painfnlly felt , and _ occupying the mind with other objects , aided by the inflnence of good diet , hare often produced very salutary effects in a short time , and ultimately restored the patients to sanity . A return to
the poverty which they had left , has , however , in many instances brought on fresh attacks almost immediately . This is a fact that cannot be too Tordblj impressed on the minds of those whose duty it is to watch over the poor . A few pounds judiciously applied in such circumstances would often not only rescue a fellow-creature from the sufferings attendant on this disease , but in addition , save the parish the expense of maintaining the man himself probably for life , and his family until they can provide for themselves .
" Within the last few years , by the munificent bequest of a thousand pounds from the late John Harrison , Esq . of London , to the Asylum at Wakefield ,. the visiting magistrates of that institution have been enabled to bestow a donation of a few pounds on patients who hare been discharged cured , when their circumstances have required such assistance The cheering influence upon the mind from the possession of such a little independence , upon which they could rely without applying again to the overseers for assistance , until they could obtain employment , has , I have no hesitation in saying , in many instances , preserved them from the immediate recurr ence of the disease .

sbt-erawce . - -The great art of life , * n far as I have been able to observe , consists in fortitude and perseverance . I have rarely seen , that a man who conscientiousl y devoted himself to the studies and duties of any profession , and did not omit to take lair and honourable opportunities ; of offering himself to notice when such presented ithf mselves . has not " ¦ leognigot forward . The ihischanc < 5 of those who fall behind , though flung upon fortune , more trequently arises from want of skill and perseverance . Life , my young friend , is like a game at cards—our hands are alternately good or W , and the wholejjeems at first glance to depend oh mere chance . But it is not so ; for , in the long run , the skill of the player predominates over the casualties of the game . Therefore do not be discouraged by the prospect before yon ; but ply your studies hard , and qualify yoHrself to receive fortune when 5 he comes , ,, ' M || M | -
n your way . —Sir Walter ScotU ^ -Life by Lockhurt . Divikb Rights of Kings . —The notions concerning the divine institution and right of kings , as well as the absolute power belonging to their office , nave no foundation in fact or reason , but hare risen from an old alliance between ecclesiastical and civil policy . The characters of king and priest have been sometimes blended together ' , and when they have been divided , as lings have found the great effects wrought in government by the empire which priests obtain over the consciences of
mankind , so priests have been taught by experience , that the best method to preserve their own rank , dignity , wealth , and power , all raised upon a supposed divine ri ght , is to communicate the same pretensions to kings , and by a fallacy common to both , impoie their usurpation on a siily world . This they have done , and in the state , as in the church , thtj ' e pretensions to a divine right -have been generally carried highest by those who ha- ? e the least pretensions to the divine favour . A divine right to govern ill , is an absurdity ; to assert it , is blasphemy .
Flowers . — "Who would wish to live without flowers ? "Where would the poet tiy for his images of beauty , if they were to perish for ever ? Are they not the emblems of loveliness and innocencethe living types of all that is pleasing and graceful . " ' "W e compare young lips to the rose , and -he whire brow to the radiant lily ; the winning eye gathers its glow from the violet , and a sweet voice is ' like a breeze kissing its way thoough flowers . We hang delicate blossoms on the silken ringlets of the young bride , and strew her path with the . fragrant * bells when she leaves the chnrch . "W e place them around the marble face of the dead in the " narrow coffin , and they become symbols of our- affections—pleasure . * remembered and hopes faded , wishes flown and scenes cherished , the more ' that they can never return . Still we look to the far-off spring in other
vallies—to the eternal summer beyond the grave , when the flowers which have faded shall again bloom in starry fields , where , no rude winter can intrude . They come upon us in spring like the recollections o ! a dream , which hovered above us in sleep , peopled with shadowy beauties and purple delights , fancy broidered . Sweet flowers ! that bring before o / r eyes , scenes of childhood—faces remembered in youth , when love wa ? a stranger to himself ! The mossy bank by the way-side , where we so often sat for hours , drinking in the beauty of the primrose with our eyes—the shelttre 3 glen , darkly green , filled with the perfume of violets , that shone , in their intense blue , like anothir sky spread upon the earth—the laughter of mem- voices—the sweetsoT- g of the maiden—the downcast eye , the spreading blush , the kiss , ashamed at . its own sound—are all brought back to memory by a flower . —Sunbeam .

Clubs y . DiAMONDs . -At one of the Holland House Sunday dinner-parties , a few years a . *?

" ^ "Xh short , you think , " said M-. Rosers , " that clubs are worse than diamonds This joke excited a laugh , and when it had subsided Sydney Smith wrote the following impromptu sermontt-most appropriately , on a card : Thoughtless that " all that ' s brightest fades " Unmindful of that Knave of S pades ' The Sexton and hiy Subs , How foolishly we play our parts ! Oar wives on diamonds set their hearts " We set our hearts on cluts . '
Orthographical Transmogrification . — k blacksmith lately made out a bill against one of his customers , in which a charge was intended to be made for ' steeling two mattocks , ' i . e . putting steel to the iron points of the instruments . But the son ofYulcan , who had been more used to wielding a -sledge-hammer than studying Dr . Johnson , actually * rore the following item : 'To stealing two mad ducks , 2 s . ' Curious Wager . —A curious wager was decided
sometime-ago , in a village near Manchester , where a parish clerk famous tor garrulity , was upbraided with it , and told that if his life depended upon it he could not hold his tongue for two hours . Moses piqued at the'insin . uation , offered to wager the money he was to have for digging a grave on the following day , » hat he did not speak a word , good , bad or indifferent , for the time specified . Thebet was concluded , the chatter-box , screwed up his mnuth , and became as silent as the grave . All means were tried to provoke a word , but in vain . At last a
person was sent to tell the clerk ' s wife that her husband was taken speechless . Terrified at the news she posted to the Black Bull . On entering she immediately asked her good man how he found himself . He only answered by a nod and a shake of the head . "Don ' t shake thy head at me , Moses ! How does to do ? " No answer . "Do speak Moses ! Oh ! I shall go mad . " Every symptom of delirium , soon made , its appearance . She stamped she wept , she swore , she scolded , she prayed . Still Moses held his tongue . Her passion increased , she tore ber cap and began to tear her hair . This was too much for . Moses * . arid with a louder voice than he had ever responded "Amen , " he bawled Outu Rot thee , tjiou soft toad , thou ' st lost me the digging of old John William ' s grave and behanged to thee !"
