      Pbesstjbe of the Press . —Yesterday I did not write a line of Woodstock . Partly , I was a little out of spirits , though that would not have hindered me . Partly , I wanted to wait for some new ideas—a sort of collecting of straw to makebricks of . Partly , I was a little too far beyond the press . I cannot pall i f ell in long traees , -when , the draught is too far behirld me . I love to have the press thumping , clattering , and banging in my rear ; it creates the necessity which always makes me wort best . Needs must when the devil drives —and drive he does eren according to the letter . —LocAhart ' sJJfe of

      A Good Packxb .. —* You are an excellent pack er , ' said a bon vivant to a waiter , who brought him b bottle of wine of very scanty measure , 1 don't understand you , sir , ' replied the attendant 1 have contrived to pack a quart of wine in a p int decanter , was the explanation . Seu-Gbatification . — 'Piekwickis delightful this month , ' sajd an admirer of that amusing wort to the author one evening , as they were chatting

      together looking at Phiz , who was laughing up in their faces ; ' your jokes are capital , every body laughs at them . ' ' I assure you , my dear fellow , ' « aid Boz , ' that if my good Mends , the public , enjoyed them as much as T do myself , their purchase of the work would "be cheap , for when a ' merry thought' strikes me , and I put it down I laugh heartily at it myself , and rub my hands with the glee of a bey who has found a new plav thing .

      Heptjblican Soix > iers . -It has long been a well known and whimsical foible of the American " -. citizens" that , while they repudiate all distinctions of rank , and claim an equality of consideration for all sorts of free citizens , they evince the most childish delight in prefixing to their names certain honourable titles , particularly those of military distinction . " Generals" are as common as lawyers , " Majors" as plentiful as retail "merchants , and " Captains" as rife as coolers . One line in the

      instruction of Mr . Poinsett , the "War Secretary of the Union , to General Scott , in conferring upon lim the military command of the Canada frontier of the State ? , has a curious , indirect reference to this ambitious propensity of the worthy republicans . In making his requisitions for men , General Scott is instructed to designate their numbers , " and to take care that the officers do not exceed a due proportion'' ' . I I ~ So doubt the General will find more men ready to act as colonels than as corporals and privates .

      How to get Three Cocoa 2 vdts akd Thbee Half-Cbo-k-xs . — " Please Sir , " said , an urchin , entering the shop of a grocer in this town , on Monday las £ — " Please Shs " Mr . Manning wants some cocoa nuts , and will thank you to send him one to look at . " The grocer selected his best- nut , and off went the lad with his sample . In a few minutes ie returned , saying , " Mr . Manning will take three , and please what are Jhey to be ? . " " Half-a-crown , " replied the grocer ^ as he handed the cocoa nuts to the messenger . Once more the youngster quitted the shop , and once more Tetumed . " Didn ' t von sav them nuts was to be two and

      eightpence ? ' he inquired . " 2 so , " Teplied the grocer , " two and sixpence . " " Oh , very well , ' " said the stripling , " . Mr . Manning will send " you half a sovereign if you send the change ! "' The guileless grocer laid down three half crowns , which followed the three cocoa ruts j but no half sovereign was forthcoming ; and the simple dupe , after waiting in vain f < jr some time , paid Mr . Manning a visit , and then found that he had been swindled by the impudent imp . e " Good heavens ! " exclaimed the greengrocer , " tcethink that I should have travelled over half the globe , and come home to be cheated by a bit of a lad ! Confound my stupid head , I could knock It against the wall !"—Leicester Courant .

      A Beadle ' s 33 tjty . — " "Well , Mr . Bumble , what have you been doing this morning with the outrdoorpooF . " " "Wh y , Mrs . Corney , I have been doing my duty , like an honest beadle , to this parish of Kensington , and its respectable Board of Guardians . I have been giving the out-door relief in such a manner , as to tire out the poor from applying for it , that is , Mrs . Comer by giving them exactly the relief which they don ' t want . If they arevery sick , I give them a pound of potatoes , and an ounce of cheese ; if they are hale andhearty , I give them a pint of oatmeal , and some water-gruel ; if I give them meat , I take care to give them no coals , and particularly if it is a hard frost : and if I give them an apron full of coals to-day . " I tell them not to come for any more till the river is open , and the coals get cheaper . "

      Necessity of "Uviox . —Upon one occasion , a person was addressing a - very large out-dooT assembly upca the value and importance of nnion . " Xow , " said he , " one man can do codling ; for instance , suppose I was to give you sixpence among you , it would be of no service ; but , If each of you gave me sixpence , it would make a man of me . "fWe request the attention of our correspondents to the above ; as one paying postage for all , will never make a man of him . —Ed . ]

      Yakeee Jxgexttity .. —A Kev » Specimen . — A gentleman residing at Troy , a frontier town in Yennont , writes Ms friend in Boston : — " A curious method has been adopted to smuggle arms into Canada for the use of the patriots . It was well known that a number of gizU from the northern section of Yermont , as well as the contiguous part of Lower Canada , find employment in the factories at Lowell ( Mass ) . It has sometimes been the case , when a death has occurred amongst their number , that the body has been sent to the friends of the deceased for burial . During the past summer it wa 3 observed that an unusual number of eofnn 3 had

      passed along , frequently accompanied by mourners . Two or three had sometimes passed &t a time , which occasioned Teports that some terrible malady was raging at LowelL Since the present difficulties occurred in Canada some one , having the fear of her Majesty before his eyes , suspected that these coifins contained other arms than those of a female corpse , aid he assumed the responsibility of opening one , when , behold , Tiftes , guns , pistols , and swords 'looked daggers' at him , as a voice seemed to thunder in his ear , ' Shut pan ! ' and he fled for protection behind the bayonets of British soldiersj —Kew York Paper . -

      Sagacity of as Ass . —In March , 1836 , an ass , the property of Captain Dundas , - B . Js ., when in Malta , was shipped onboard the Ister frigate , Capt . Porrest , "bound from Gibraltar , for that island . The Tessel ha-ring struck on some sands off the Point de Gat , at some distance from the shore , the ass was thrown overboard to give it a chance of swimming to land- —a poor one , for the sea was running so high that a boat which left the ship was lost . A few day 3 afterwards , however , wben the gates of Gibraltar were opened in the morning , the ass presented itself for admittance , and proceeded to the stables of Mr . "Weeks , a merchant , which he had formerly

      occupied , to the no small surprise of . flris gentleman , who imagined that from aecident -the animal had never been shipped on board the ^ iifer . On the retnrn of this Teasel to repair , the mystery was explained ; and it turned out that Taliante { as the ass was called ) had not only swam safely to shore , but without a guide , compass , or travelling map , had found his way from Point de Gat to Gibraltar , a "Stance of more than 200 . miles , through a mountainous and intricate country , intersected by streams which he had never traversed before , and in so short » period that he could not have made onft-false turn . —Dr .

      solab Spots . —From a variety of observations , it is now pretty well determined that the solar spots are iIepre * sio / isKn& not elevations , and that the black nucleus of every spot is the opaque body of the sun seen through an opening in the luminous atmosphere with which it is environed . This was first ascertained hy numerous observations made by the late Dr . TVikon , Professor of Astronomy , in the University of Glasgow . This conclusion is founded on the following facts : — "When any spot is ahout to disappear behind the sun ' s western limb , the eastern porlaon of the umhra first contracts in its breadth , and then vanishes . The nucleus - then gradually contracts and vanishes , while the western portion of the umbra still remains visible . When a spot comes

      into view on the sun ' s eastern limb , the eastern portion of the umbra first becomes visible , then the dark nucleus , and then the western part "" of the umbra makes its appearance . "When two spots are near each other , the umbra of the one spot is deficient on the sideTiestthe other ; and when one of the spots Ls much larger than the other , the union of the largest will be completely wanting on the side next the small cne . From various micro-metrical estimates and calculations , in relation to the breadth of the umbra , and the manner of their appearance and disappearance , the doctor was led to the conclusion that the depth of the nucleus , or dark part of the spots was , in several instances , from 2000 to nearly 4000 miles . —Dr . Dick ' s Celestial Scenery .

      AXCUEXT MAJfUSCBIPT OF THE GOSPELS . The Rev . J . H . Todd , gave lately to the Koyal Irish academy a short account of a manuscript of the four gospels , of the seventh century , and in Irish characters , which is preserved in the library of his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury , at Lambeth . The volume is a small quarto , in the minute hand called Caroline , common to aU Europe in the reign of Charlemagne , but now used only in Ireland , and knoTTD -as the Irish character . The present volume appears to have belonged to Maelbrigid Mac Dornan or Mac Toman , who was Archbishop of ¦ Arm agh , in the ninth century , and died A . D . 925 . By aiin it was probably sent to Athelstan , Kin g of the Arcglo-Saxons , who presented it to the city of

      Canterbury . These facts are inferred from an inscription in Anglo-Saxon characters ( and in a hand of the ninth or beginning of the tenth century , ) which occurs on a blank page immediately following the genealogy in the first chapter of St . Matthew . The discovery of this manuscript and the satisfactorv proof which facts afford of its Irish origin , are infportant , adding another to the many instances with which we are already acquainted , of the employment of Irish scribes in the transcri ption of the scriptures during the sixth and seventh centuries . It is now well ascertained that almost all the sacred books so highly venerated by the Anglo-Saxon church , and left b y Ker early bishops as heir-looms to their respective sees , -were obtained by Ireland or Irish scribes . — Atlienceum . - ¦ ¦

      PlCTUBE OF A l ^ BETCHED PeASAST . —About a mile to the south of Philipston we visited a poor farmer , who was employed in winnowing his barley in the wind . Though in rags , he had evidently seeabetter . days . He told us that he had no money , nor indeed , had any of the farmers ; that the landlords would be obliged to come and manage their farms , and hold the plough themselves , as the tenants would soon be destroyed : and that when he had gone home at night , after working hard all day , the only food that awaited his return was a dry potatoe , or perhaps a herring . He asked us if the looks of the fanners were not sufficient to prove how they lived ; and , indeed , the blue colour of his countenanceand

      , the attenuated frame of this poor creature , abundantly attested the accuracy of what he was saying . Casting a pitiful look at his rags , he exclaimed , " If I had known what I would have come to , I would have thanked any body to have shot me through the head when . I was young . " He complained bitterly , among other things , of the unfeeling and arbitrary conduct of the tithe proctors . Tar from being : an uncommon case of distress , this , I anf sorry to say , is but a single instance of general destitution . Some of the wretched sufferers bear their destiny with great fortitude ; this man ' s rankled at his heart . Though disposed to labour .

      and _ adapted to enterprise , " he has no kind landlord to instruct and encourage him ; and , hopeless of any remedy for his acute afflictions , he sees nothing before him but certain destruction , and accordingly gives himself up to bitter despair . Can it be wondered at that men , thus ignoTant , degraded , oppressed , and reckless , occasionally disregard the authority of the law , and commit outrages which snbjeet them to its serious inflictions ? The wonder would be if they did not . The government of a country is greatly responsible for the srimes of the people . —Birin'i Miseries and Beauties of Ireland . Habits op the Toad . —A Peebleshire friend

      communicates the following interesting particulars relative to the toad : —In passing through an outer court ,- seated on the top of a heap of new manure , between me and the sun , sat a toad ; a fine fellow , with head and shoulders erect ; by his quick dartings njt and down 1 saw he was very intent on something , and I-crept slowly round to the westward ; there sat the "toad , his fine bright red eyes glistening in the setting son , eager on fly-catching j every time a poor fly passed near his mouth , out , like lightning , darted akng red tongue j the fly was down out of sight in a -tjiinklpg-r-bbw the fellow licked his . blacfclips , and

      with what gusto ! So intent was he upon his game , I was close . up to him ere he discovered me , but what a . change ! -H | ike Ducrow ' s < favourite steed , from a beautifHl and swift racer , in an instant he was transformed into an old , lame , lazy , and broken-down post horse .

      WORKING MEN'S ASSOCIATION . TO THE EDITORS OK THK . NORTHERN STAR . ' ¦ London , March 13 th , 1838 . Gextlejiex , —We , vrhose nr . mes are subjoined to the following address , would be obliged by its insertion in your valuable and patriotic journal . TO THE WORKING MILLIONS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND . Fellow Working Men and Democrats . — Those amongst you , who , alive to your interests anil yowr rights , have watched in the columns of the pnblic print .-:, in the so-call- 'd Legislature arid in the conduct of public men . snyijigs and doings having reference thereto , may hnvV .-t-eu our names in connexion with the public acts of the London Working Men ' s Association , of- ' which .- " we were members , and from which we have lately seceded . We feel it a duty owing to you and ourselves to state thei reasons

      which haveiedus to this secession . We wish not to arrogate to ourselves an ini p . iriance , which belongs neither to us nor the mere lV ct of our secession from the above body ; nor should we on this account alone trouble you to read , or ourselves topublishj this communication . IJnt we are desirous that yon . shoulil be fully impressed with tlie importance of the reasons which have induced us to withdraw our sanction , either real or implied , to the continuance nndeV its present management : rad coTitl-nct , of the Working Men ' s Association , reasons which derive their importance from their identification with your interests . :

      However consonnnt it mr . y ho to the inclinations and habits of some of our or-U-r toliave the assistance of those orders oUaer than our own , yet experience has proved that it is by tlie exercise of our own energies alone , that we can acquire our rights—consummate our happiness . ' 1 he Working Men ' s Association would have you believe . Fellow Workmen and Democrats , that a class of men , comprehending yonr Humes , G rotes , WurLartoiis , O Connells aud others of their stainp—they would have you believe , we say , that-tliisni qne of sham patriots .

      usurers _ ana rrucuientpolincuins , will ellect for you the attainment of these objects .. In au endeavour to rebut this charge , they may say they have never promulgated -sac-Ira doctrine ; they ! Will , perliaus , vauniingly direct yoor attention to their public acts , Well , we are williig- ' to take up the gauntlet on this score ; and we assert that tneir jiuHic acts have had the tendency—it was their object to create a confidence in the minds of yo : \ onr' - fdlo . w- workmen , to be placed in the men to wlom we have nlluded . We challenge the repudiation of this assertion . Hence one of the reasons for our . " withdrawal .

      n e fully appreciate the advantages resulting frcm education , and we would earnestly . - wish -to . see the principles of a sound .. edncatioiial system " widely disseminated ; bnt we ' cannot but consider all the ideas of amelioration frbiu this source alone , to be chimerical , perfectly illr-nn-. Depend ijpon it , fallow Democrats , that that which " our " enemies will not give to justice , they will not yield to moraI persuasion . No , we must act upon * their fears , if we cannot upon their syinpatLies . Nor can we subscribe to the notion that , under present circumstan ces , the adoption of a sound educational system , one , the principal feature of which sliali be to teach the people their rights , and iiotmerelv , as now , thoir

      duties is practicable . Men , interested hi the continuance of the ptesent robber-l : k - system of society— -the lordly aristocrat- —the " rrioh : ed vampire and tlie ¦ prp ' stitnted wriest—in a word the enemies to . the rights , the _ liberties , and ihe happiness of the millions , will prerendedly acquiesce m the propriety of educating—oj ' moralizing tbe people ; and it will ever be found thatso long as the people ' s political rights are withheld from them , any system of education which meets with the acquiescence of fheir foes , will have for its object the perpetuation of the peop le ' s slavery . How philosoplr . cal then is it to argue Irom such means our redeniptKiu . Why , the Working Men ' s Association , are covertly , but effectually ,

      preachingup the doctrine of passive obedience aud non-resistance ; out on the hypocrites and deluders ! We ask what "effect—wi-. ut ' influence" can- their precepts have while their extiir . ple'is so diametrically opposite . How fuffla—ho ' . v ridiculous , will appear the notions they inculcate of the morality of property , when it shall be generally kiiown that their practice violates its first p rinciples ; it is not for u ? , fello-wworkmen , to define what these principles are , but we think they do not consist in thd usurer ' s exactions of the fruits of the labourer ' s industry , or in tbo priest ' s delusions , for the same object . Their turpitude is equalled only by their presumption . They establish themselves cur legislators , and then enact laws to legalize their plundering ? , devastations

      and murders ; for history , " end not us , charges them with the perpetration of these enormities . But we do not argue from thence that the Working Men ' s Association countenance all this . No ; but they hare uniformly and pertinaciously inculcated the belief of the possibility of the establishment of a system of education , by or through which , -we shall acquire our rights . They have repeatedly scouted the idea that their rights are to be attained by anj means other than educalit . ^ iiie people ; nay more , they have calumniated those- yho have entertained and expressed a contrary belief ; as witness their late invidious and dastardly attack on those friends of humanity , —Messrs . Stephens , Oastler , and O'Connor .

      : It is an admitted . principle that , whenever we have , any specific object to attain , our means should be commensurate to its accomplishment . Now we deny that the means of tie Working Men ' s Association are adequate to the couiammation of the end ihejprcfess to have in view . We deny that truckling to our enemies—of courting the support and countenance of the " respectables" are a part of the means to the regeneration of cur fellow-countrymen What is the inference we draw from this ? " Why , that the Working Men ' s Association are as an engine in the hands of some designing enemies—the " sauad , " perhaps , before spoken of , of the vrorting millions , whose endeavour is to concentiatoby the

      , establishment of this , and other snch like delusions , the abilities and energies of the people , and then to nullify their effects . We are not singular in this belief . We cannot claim the honour of a priority in this opinion . "But , " itmay be asked , " what are the means we should recommend for the attainment of the object they profess to have in view ? " We answer negatively . We say not by creating , in the minds of our fellow-wdrkmen , a confidence te be placed m * hose men , who are , at every opportunity , sacnticing us at the shrine of their God—Mammon , — -the insatiable deity—the Jugsrernant of the

      pretending Chnstians , but the real Infidels—the realljr-timpions . Kot by inculcating the notion that we -are not to endeavour to obtain our rights until we axe morally fitted to retain them . Nor by recommending us to respect the so-called legislators of our country , or their legislatorial acts , by which tiiey ^ ob nsof crar rights , jwhile tlie penalty attendlnglheir violation is less " than that attending their observance ; for we hold . this fo be slow starvation , thatjperhaps . viclory , perhapsdeath— -the latter alternative being , in our estimation , preferable to the former . ccmditior . ¦ r .

      —a most . powerful instrument invented by the wicked and ^ artful linaricierie [ employed as political agents of the fimdholders , and aided by the influence of the Gdverumeiptyin order to jprpp up the tottering nappr system , and preserve the national debt establishment from falling into a state of bank-^? i ^ ' . The means employed by these cunning Millionaires to carry out their object , are * rsfc , to draw yyithui the grasp of the ! Commissioners for the reduction of the National Debt as much of the substantial circulating aiedium of the country as they can , in order that they may invest it in the purchase of Exchequer Bills , asthe Act 9 th Geo . % c . 92 , gives to , them absolute poiver or control over tlie whole stock of the Savings' Banks and by sec 54 of

      . the same act they are empowered to ^« any part of the Bank Annuities belonging to the depositors ( the m . hard-workmg men ) and purchase Exchequer Bills therewith , Kow as these Exchequer Bills are only a temporary substitute formoney , haying no permanent provision for principal or interest : and fluctuating in value accprding to the pressure of the times , and at last depending upon the will of Parliament for their . payment every year , I think it unjnst , aud eveil a gross robbery of the earnings of the poor , to place them in such , worthless securities It appears there are £ 16 , 000 , 000 of the national debt due , in some way or pther ^ to the working classes , who

      _ ar e depositors , in the savings' banks . Now , I think that it is high time that Aye began to inquire from whatportion of the people this money has been extracted , m order that wetoay ; 8 hb \ y what pusiknimous dupes they are , who have been bewildered by the sophistnes arid plausible doctrines of the financial humbugs employed by the ^ loan mongers , fund holders , stock brokers , and rag money dealers * whose filthy interest itis to maintain these pernicibns systeins , that they may raise a supply of the people ' s gold in their possession , whilst the return to the people m exchange is iio ( hing' but their worthless rags .

      It isj therefore , evident that the bulk of the depositors are of that class usually denpmiuated respectable working men , and domestic servants , nearly all of whom ore unuepresentep ; it is al < o endeiit that \ the larger depositors are fewer in number , which is a-proof , circumstantial , if not conclusive , of the fact that the middle elm * are not extensive holders of saving bank stock , notwithstanding the greater rate of interest held out to them j or jthe" ^ oasted" illegibility : 6 t the securities held out tojthemby'tne tricksters of the system .

      m natural and constitutiOual rights . It is also evident that if we had au honest Goveriiment we could exercise a just moral power over the affaire of the country , by at once stopping the supplies ^ or , m other -words , by merely asking for what is our own iu the , samk sort of coin in which it was deposited with them ior security but the Government is not : hpriest—the people ' s silver shillings and golden sovereigns have accumulated in their bauds * , and have been transmitted , by the aid of the leoai ; tender trick , into uaus , mere PROMiSES to pay , oiil y valid so loiiw as the Government choose , -out ot their regard " for national faith , to hold the Bank Restriction Act of 1797 in ten-britm over the heads of the people : biit

Iv ' ., which restricts the officer of the Saving ' , Bank from issuing more than ^ 10 , 000 , 000 in any one day , and as it also declares that tue check to obtain sucli sum must be signed by four trustees , and separately witnessed , and even then cannot be made available . to the depositors until fourteen days after date , -whatever that date may be , so that meantime the Government '¦ mav

      obtain an Act of Parliament , or an Order iu Council to check or frustrate altogether the objects of the depositors . ; . But let those \ yho teach this i doctrine , and tell Tig it is law , know there is a power above the law , before whose a \ yful name Jew-jobbers and money scheniers will" sink into notlungness . The people have a right to demand equity and justice ; they have a right to dp what they please with the pence and the pounds saved through years of toil and priyation , to assist them ? their old age , and preserve them from the unmerciful fangs of the New Poor Law ; they have a right to demand from their governors the gold they liave depoated in their lands , and it behoves them to look well to tins
