In 1755 the English Government came tor the conclusion that these neutral French—as they were called—might become dangerous , by taking part with the Canadian French , they therefore determined to destroy the colony . In September , Colonel Wissiow , a British officer , was sent with the King ' s commission to demolish the property of the neutrals , and transport them from the province . Without any previous warning , the Acadiaus were ordered to assemble together on a certain day , when they "were made prisonei's , and informed that their lands , cattle , and . household goods Were confiscated to the Government . In one district alone two hun-^^—^ - — -.

      dred and fifty-five- houses , as many barns , eleven mills , and one church , were fired by the British military incendiaries , and burnt to the ground . Ships were in readiness to convey the Acadians to different parts of the continent . On the lGth . of September the male " prisoners " ivere drawn up six deep ; and the young men , one hundred and sixty in number , were ordered to go on board the vessels . They refused , unless their families might be permitted to accompany them : this was denied , and the soldiers were ordered to do their duty .

      The wretched Acadians no longer resisted , but inarched , at the bayonet ' s point , from the chapel of Grand Tre to the ships . The road from the chapel to the shore , one mile in . length , was crowded witli women and children , who , on their knees , and with eyes and hands raised to Heaven , entreated blessings _ on . their young friends , so unmercifully torn from them . , The senior men formed another detachment , and their departure'occasioned a similar scene of distress . Other vessels arrived , and the women and children followed . - ¦¦ ¦

      This was the doom of eighteen thousajo ) souls , men , icomen , and children ! ! " Desolate and depopulated was the beautiful tract they had occupied : their homes lay in smoking ruins ; the cattle , abandoned by their protectors , assembled about the forsaken dwelling places , anxiously seeking their wonted masters ; and all ni g ht-long , the faithful watchdogs howledfor the hands that had fed , the roofs that had sheltered them . " These particulars are set forth at greater length in the " Introduction . " A fouler crime was never committed . Let those Englishmen who curse the desolator of Poland , bestow a portion of their maledictions upon the British exterminators of the Acadians .

      The poem before us , tens us of the wander ings of one of the hapless beings ( transported from Acadie to the j ^ ew England States ) in search of her lover , one of the hundred and sixty young men first expatriated from Acadie . It is a melancholy story , and in the verse of Goldsjhth would have told most powerfully upon the hearts of all worthy of the name of human beings .

Tallis , 100 , St . John-street . This Tart of the " History of Ireland , " embraces tlie events of the last years of the reign of Queen Elizabeth , and the first years of the reign of her successor , including the Spanish invasion under Dok Juas de Aguila : the

      battle of Kinsale , so fatal to the Irish and their Spanish allies ; the death of the famous Bed Hugh O'Donxell ; the ruin , submission , and final flight from Ireland of O'lfell , Earl of Tyrone ; the rebellion , defeat—; ind death of Sir Cahir O'Doheuty ; the famous plantation of Ulster by King James , &c , &c . From the history of the rebellion of O'Neill and O'Dosxell , we take the following extract , descripti \ o of the horrors which accompanied and followed that struggle .

      FRIGHTFUL SUFFERINGS OF THE IRISH . So effective was thUs ruthless policy of destruction that Sloiuitjoy , in a letter -written on the 13 th of September , ( 1002 ) , the day after his return to So-wry , . acknowledged that not only in Tyrone itself , which hail been now reduced to a desert , but in the surrounding comities , he had " found everywhere men dead of famine , insomuch thatO'IIagan protested unto us that between Tullnghogo and Tooui there lay a thousand dead , and that since our first drawing this year to Blackwater , there . were above three thousand starved in Tyrone . " We add the facts stated by Moryson , an eye-witness : " 2 fow because I have often made mention formerly of our destroying the rebel ' s corn , and usin < r all means to

      famish them , let me fey two or three examples , show the miserable state to whieh the rebels were thereby brought . Sir Arthur Chichcster , Sir Richard Moryson , and the other commanders of the forces , sava most horrid spectacle of three children ( whereof the oldest was not above ten years old ) , all eating and kiiawing with their teeth the entrails of their dead mother , upon whose flesh they had fed twenty days past . * * * * The common sort of the rebels were driven to unspeakable extremities , beyond the record of most histories that ever I did read in that kind , [ lie here relates another and more horrible case of camiibalism , which we omit . —Ed . IF . & ] Thecaptainsof Cairickfbrgus and the adjacent garrisons of the northern

      parts can witness that upon the making of peace and receiving the rebels to mercy , it was a common practice , among the common sort of them ( I mean such sis were not sword-men ) , to thrust long needles into the horses of our English troops , ' and thoy dying thereupon , to be ready to tear out one another ' s throats for a shave of them . And no spectacle was more frequent ia the ditches of towns , and especially in wasted countries , than to see multitudes of these poor people dead , with their mouths all coloured green by eating nettles , docks , and all tilings they could rend up above ground . These p . nd very many like lamentable effects followed their rebellion , and no doubt the rebels had been utterly destroyed by famine , had not a general peace short ! v followed Tyrone ' s submission ?'

      - ^ The Claims of tlie Redemption Society considered : or the jmnciples of Home Colonisation explained , fyc , <§ -c . By David Green . " London : Berger , llolywell-street ; Leeds D . Green , 166 , Briggate . This is the report of a lecture delivered by Mr . Green before the members of the Odd Fellows ' Literary Institution , Trinity-street , Leeds , on the 7 th of December , 18 d 8 . " The Redemption Society was founded in October , 1845 , and enrolled under the Friendly Societies' Act . Speaking of the progress of the Society , the lecturer says : — ..

      l h cany success is io ho taken . as a prestige . of luture prosperity , the fortunes of the . llcdcmpti qn Society are secured . The society had not been in existence for more than a , year and a . half , before one of those singular events arose whieh are so seldom witnessed ih the world . Nearly unknown , and certainly untried , our principles and plans attracted the attention of a gentleman in South Wales , Mr . George " \ Tiiliams , of Gorse , in the county of Caermarthen . Mr . "Williams ' ^ had travelled much in the United States , both north and south ; but what had most attracted his attention , were the communities of that country ; he visited most of these , ' and ; resided some time with some of them ; the consequence of this was , a thorough and profound couvic-

Ilowitt . " He / wrote to us at Leeds , requesting all particulars , which were duly sent to hun ,: and after a short interval wo received another letter ; in which he made us the extraordinary and munificent offer of the reversion of a landed estate of one hundred and sixty " acres . " We were in a manner incredulous , but in order to removeall doubts , we wrote him a plain catechetical letter ,-which he answered to our entire satisfaction . We then submitted to him the conditions upon which alone we could receive this noble gift , namely ,

      that he should , hy proper deeds of conveyance , make ovei to the trustees of tho society , nil right and title to " the estate , unconditionally ; that he should not expect or claim any influence , office ; or power in thesociety more than ' anyother member , or receive any immunities , or privileges other . than what the society in its sovereign will might confer . To all _ these severe ,. but necessary conditions , he immediatel y and cheerfully assented , and'has ' now fulfilled them to the letter , by conveying the estate to ; the society . The estate is burthened with a mortgage of £ 1 , 200 , but such is Mr . ATilliams ' s zeal in the cause , that lie has suggested a mode , and I believe will carry it out , of liquidating this , with advantage to the society . "Within tho last month circumstances have rendered it necessary for the society to take possession of part of the estate . This has been done , and we , have sown eleven acres of wJjeat , and

      purchased eleven head of cattle , and are malting preparation for locating some of our members ' o ' u the estate next month , or in February , * , As fast as money comes in we intend to put the whole of our land in the best condition , as respects" cultivation ' . ; thoroughly draining it first , and then extirpating the weeds , and introducing every possible improvement . We shall begin to build dwellings , / workshops , and a school ; we shall then prosecute , those kinds of small trades which may be introduced with comparatively small capital . The articles which we shall manufacture will be designed for use , not for show or sale merely ; they will-be made in the most substantial and neatest manner . These articles wo shall sell to our . members in all parts of the country , and we believe that -vve shall be enabled to sell them at . a cheaper rate , if we feel inclined , than is given for aninferior article . li

      . STOfSHIKE AM ) SHADOW : A TALE OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY . BY THOMAS MARTIN WHEELER , Late Secretary to the National Charter Associatio n and National Land . Company . * ¦ Chapter XV . ¦ Tho love of woman is a blessed tiling , The heart of woman is a throne of power-Fond , and more fondly still , it loves tooling , . And grows more fond whene ' er most dangers lower— ' Constant beyond this world ' s imagining : : Rich in alllove- ^ -kind nature ' s bounteous dower Our guardian-angel—promise—guide in life— ' Our hope—joy—pride—grace—solace—home-star —wife !

      A few more days passed in a similar manner brought the Esmieralda to anchor at Carlisle Bay , where , the vessel havins : been signalled the day previous , they found Sir Jasper Baldwin , Mi's . Elkinson ' s son , and a bevy of attendants , awaiting their arrival , to assist in unloading tlie luggage . Pompous and stately did Sir Jasper receive his young wife . There was naught in his manner to soothe her wounded feelings , or raise within her sentiments of affection'or regard . It was such a rceepiion as an Eastern Sultan would give to a favourite slave—pomp and splendour , destitute of love or respect . Sir Jasper was proud of his wife as ho would be of a fine horse or a . dog , or any other appanage of his estate , but it was the pride of ownership and not the pi'ide of affection—it was vanity and not love .

      Kindly was tho reception Mrs . Elkinson received from her son , ' and courteous tlie greeting lie gave our hero , ¦ whom Mrs . Elkiuson kindly invitod to accompany them to a friend ' s residence until the morrow , when Sir Jasper intended to sail . Aftectionate were the adieux Arthur gave to Captain Weeks and his late companions in misfortune . The next morning saw them under press of sail for D . Arthur was now introduced by Mrs . Elkinson to Sir Jasper as an early acquaintance of his wife ' s , whom a most singular and awful calamity had again introduced to her .

      Sir Jasper made a cold formal bow , and looked aught but graciously on his wife ' s acquaintance ; nor was his gfood humour increased when he heard that Mr . Elkinson was about to appoint him to a confidential situation in his employ . Julia , who was in the cabin , knew not of this introduction , but , in reply to Sir Jasper ' s inquiries , with a palpitating heart and a confused air , told him of her brother ' s friendship for Arthur , their youthful acquaintance , and its unforeseen renewal . Nothing- was there in this simple talp that could offend Sir Jasper , but noverthaless lie felt , irritated . He compared himself with Arthur , and felt that he gained not by the comparison . lie , therefore , determined that this acquaintance should cease , and haughtily informed her that the wife of Sir Jasper Baldwin must not recognise an acquaintance in any one who filled a subordinate employment , and trusted that her ladyship would inform him that on reaching D , their intimacy must for ever cease ..

      Had not Sir Jasper thus haughtily wounded her feelings , this blow would not have been felt so acutely , for Julia had pre-determincd that Sir Jasper should have no occasion to reproach her with her intimacy with Arthur . Dear as he was to her , she had mauc her decision , and though in giving up his acquaintance she was parting with tho last tic that linked her to happiness , yet the consciousness of rectitude would she imagined support her ; but'Sir Jasper ' s interference had deprived the sacrifice of all merit . It was no longer the offering up of her heart at the shrine of virtue , but an immolation of ler soul on the altar of Mammon .

      During the day she had no opportunity of communicating with Arthur , who seemed sedulously to avoid her . She . therefore , retired to her cabin ; and after much hesitation aud many tears , foldoa and sealed the following . note : — ' . ••• ... " Dear Arthur , —The kindness manifested by you during the voyage , has rendered that a pleasant recollection , which would otherwise have been a dull vacuum . Tlie happy recollections of our youthful day . ? , which have entwined your memory with all my past enjoyments , 'have made your presence contribute greatly to my happiness , but ¦ happiness and me are not destined to be - companions . My

      husband's notions of dignity

      . . _ " Julia . " It was on the following morning that Arthur received this note . Again and again did he peruse it , scarcely conscious of his own feelings , but joy was uppermost , joy at the thought that his love was not expended in -vain—that the idol he worshipped in secret responded , though ever so faintly , to his adoration ; and though his fate could novel- bo linked with hers , though the music of her voice might never more ring in his cars , though her beauteous form might no more meet his gaze , yet the thought that he Sad been a source of happiness to her , that his memory would still remain dear to her , this was a joy he dreamt not of , and a source of pride and consolation . In all the delicate feelings of the heart , in all the finer sympathies of our nature , how much

      clearer and strong er are the perceptions of woman than man . Julia Knew almost' by instinct that her presence or absence formed the sunshine or shadow of Arthur ' s existence , and this knowledge of its being reciprocated gave strength and vitality to her love , whilst Arthur knew not of the devotion he had inspired until Julia ' s farewell letter gave him a faint glimpse thereof . With such mingled feelings did he sit down to answer her epistle . ' ¦ ¦ ¦ " Beloved companion of my youth , —With feelings of pain have I received my dismissal from the temple of my adoration , where I . knelt—oh ! how humble a worshipper—content with my lot , dreaming not ol higher aspirations . Alas ! even this' happiness must

      no longer bemine . il must still continue to worship , but the shrine will be ! for ever removed , and my dark and chequered lot lose the only star that illumed its erratic course . ¦¦ Hard and unfeeling man , could not aught else have soothed thy pride without making shipwreck of my treasured happiness ? 'L ; iuy Ji " . ! dwin , accept my hearty thanks for your kind remembrance , and if a love , holy as that of angels , punkas the dreams . of infancy , be an acceptable offering , oh ! receive the oblation . It will not tarnish the virtue of the altar , but will ascend as thc . gratc-M incense of a devotee to the ' shrine of the Most High . - " Ever yours , " "'' '¦""• " - ' ' ¦ - ¦ ¦ "Aktiiuh Morton .

" The experiments made on "Wednesday were witnessed by means of the hydro-electric boiler , and gave a good illustration of Mr . Gurncy's ideas .
