Till the madd’ning torrents onward rush Like a strong war-horse with victory flush, Little by iittle the patient ant Layeth up food for her future want, Little by little the busy bee Sippeth up sweets from tree to tree.

After disposing of a few articles to the lady of the house, who seemed to live in the midst of children, she declared her inability to buy more for want of money. ‘ But, marm, ham t you any rags?’ ‘ None for to sell, sir-’ ‘ Well,’ sad he, ‘you stem to have plenty of children.

The ‘Lancet’ contains a report on the adulteration of sugar con- fectionery, a subject jjusf now possessed of much interest, in con- seqence of the recent wholesale poisonings at Bradford. Of 50 samples submitted to analysis, at the most 11 only were genuine, while not less than 34 were adul- terated. The now notorious 1 Dali’’ was detected in 13 samples, together with, in most cases, large propor- tions of Hour. The flour was found in as many as 33 of the samples, either separately, or together with the ‘ Daff.’ The kinds of flour, or starch, generally employed, are potato and wheat flour, but Indian coin flour was present in several of the arti- cles, and, in one instance, sago- powder. The extent of the adul- teration varied greatly, from one- fourth, one-third, to even nearly three-fourths. The confectionery analysed consisted of lozenges of various kinds,[including ginger, cay- enne, and pepperment] and Scotch mixture, several descriptions of comfits, conversation cards, and many other articles. The ordinary adulteration of comfits is with whoa* flour, which is thus cunning- ly employed. It is not not usually mixed equally with the sugar, but the carroway, or other seeds, are first coated thickly with the wheat flour, and the sugar is afterwards added. The effect of this pro- ceeding is, that when put into the mouth the sugar only comes into contact with the tongueâ€"and hence these comfits have at first all the sweetness of the genuine comfits. This adulteration is easily discover- ed, either by simply breaking the comfits crossways,when the nucleus of wheat flour may be readily dis- tinguished from the outer portion; or by placing them in water, when the sugar will be dissolved, but the wheat flour will remain, retaining nearly the original size and form of the comfits. All reference to the various pigments employed to colour sugar confectionery is purposely omitted. Many of those, it is known, possess highly injurious and even poisonous properties, and had they been noticed in the report, fearful indeed wonld have been tlie picture revealed of the adulteration of lozenges and sugar confectionery in general. The articles analysed were all purchased in the metropolis within the last few dav3, and the names and addresses of the venders, many of them wholesale anti manu- facturing confectioners, are given in the report. ther would raise the money rather than, part with her child, seated himself by the I Clyde and Me I sev. THE SHIPPING: INTEREST OF GREAT BRITAIN AND THE UNITED STATES. It is instructive to mark that, while some of tlie shipowners here are complaing that they are ruined hv the Americans, the Americans are saying the same of us. The New York Herald writes; Eng- land has at last, succeeded in driving nearly all our Atlantic steamships off the ocean, and she now remains as of old, the ruler of tiie seas. She has succeeded, too, in destroying the shipbuilding interests in this city. The last of the Liverpool or London packets was the Neptune, which was built in 1855, and it is not probable that another of her class will ever be built. In acco np- lishing this work, England has gained a greater naval victory than she did at the Nile or Trafalgar, and Britinnia may again wave her triieni in triumph. Our capitalists and shipowners were not blind to their interests ; they had the saga- city to see that steam was destined to displace canvas on the ocean, and they entered bravely upon the work of competing with England for the supremacy of the Atlantic. But the niggardly policy of our Government gave the advantage to our rival, and one by one, nearly all our noble steamers have been sacrificed. Our Bremen steamships, our magnificent Collins steamers, and all but two of our Havre steamers have been compelled to withdraw, while new British lines have bi.cn established, and the al- ways successful Cunarders have beeu kept on their way rejoicing.â€" 'I he shipbuilding business of New York has been transferred to the Iron ships are True humanity consists not in an squeamish ear, not in starting or shrinking at tales of misery, but in a disposition of heart to relieve it.

You may start off as soon as you please.’ Surprised at this the pedlar exclnimed : ‘ Why, marm, how can you think of parting with your boy, so young, to an entire stranger V *Oh, sir, we would like to sell all of our town paupers for ten dollars a head.’ The boy was dropped at the floor, the whip cracked, the tin rattled, and the ped- lar meausred the ground rapidly, and lie oever forgot his pauper speculation. Glasgow, and New York and Liver pool ; while New York built ships are lying idle at our docks. Now, we know very well that New York is not alone in suffering from the serious depression of her shipping interests; the owners of sailing ships in Great Britain are making loud complaints that they suffer se- verely from their ruinous competi- tion with foreign navigation.â€" We are aware, too, that much of the present distress among the shipping interests is owing to the unhealthy stimulus which was given to shipbuilding by the Cali- fornian and Austrian excitements, and by the war in the Crimea, which created so great a demand for transports, and the commercial revulsions of the last year.” Timed it.â€"A minister in the High- lands of Scotland found one of his parish- ioneei? intoxicated.

The proprietors have commenced the publication of the York Common- wealth, a family newspaper, devot- ed to Politics, Literature, Agricul- ture and Commerce. The intelli- gent yeomanry, merchants and me- chanics of York will hail with plea- sure the publication of a paper in the very heart of this weallhy and important county, that will be a faithful sentinel and advocate of their rights; a fearless and impar- tial expositor of public wrongs, and a reliable medium of the general news of the week, both foreign and domestic. The greatness of any people may be measured by their intelligence, and in proportion to their mental and moral acquirements will be their position among the nations of the earth.. The channels, therefore, for conveying to the public cheap and useful information, can never be too numerous, nor the streams of knowledge loo widely diffused. With a view then of promoting per- severingly and effectively the moral, social and political condition of the country, the Commonwealth has been issued and placed under the editor- ial management of a gentleman whose intimate acquaintance with the country and its politics qualify him for the efficient discharge of the duties of his position. No pains will be spared to render it one of the very best papers in the Province. In politics the Commonwealth will be thoroughly liberal, and will not fail to advocate such reforms in the constitution as are essential to good and economical governmenl. The recklessness and extrava- gance of our statesmen have emptied the public chest, saddled the coun- try with an enormous debt, and brought it to the very brink of na- tional bankruptcy. The extensive patronage of the executive together with the abuse of that patronage are evils of long standing, and the time has now arrived when the powers of ministers should be circumscrib- ed by a constitutional check. Representation in Parliament, proportioned to numbers, is a mea- sure of so just and equitable a na- ture, that if not conceded to Upper Canada consequences must follow most disastrous, not only to these Provinces but to the whole of British North America. A national system of education, free from all sectarianism, is best adapted lo the wants of the people. We regard such a system as one of the greatest blessings a nation can possibly enjoy. The acquisition of the Hudson Bay Territory is a question of much significance to Canada. It would be another link towards the establish- ment of that mighty empire, whose dominions, population and enterprise shall oi.e day extend from the Jakes on the south to the Artie ocean on the north, and from the Pacific on the west, to the Atlantic on the east. British North America at no distant day will be traversed by a railway, which shall extend from ocean to ocean, and afford a chan- nel through which the immense wealth of the east will find’ its way to other parts of the wurld,â€"thus making Canada the first commercial country on the earth. The Hud- son Bay Territory belongs to Cana- dians by bit th-right. and should, without delay, become part and parcel of Canada. The county of York should be separated from the City for judicial purposes, and buildings erected at some suitable place, to afford the necessary accommodation. These measures the Common- wealth will steadily support, and will be prepared to advocate such other reforms in our institutions as the requirements of the country from ime to time may demand.

The Scottish American Journal] DEVOTED TO THE Interests of Scotchmen in America, AND TO THE DISSEMINATION OF SCOTTISH LITERATURE AND ART ! CONSIDERING ihe multiplicity of news- papeis in America, it has to many been a matter ol'surprise that the numerous body of Scottish residents should have been so long un- represented. To supply this desideratum, No. I, of the Scottish American Journal was published on Saturday, August S, 1857. and is low continued weekly. The primary object of the Journal is to fur- nish its readers regularly with the news of thoir native country. It presents a weekly re- cord of ail events of interest occurring in Scot- land, and its subscribers are in this way as fully informed of what is transpiring at home as if they were in regular receipt of an oid-country newspaper. Scottish questions will be discussed with intelligence and impartiality in the editor- ial columns, and the sentiments of the leading' parties on these subjects will be fairly repre- sented and commented upon. In the literary and miscellaneous department of the paper, while merit and talent will be ap- preciated from whatever country they emanate, the Scottish eleme.it will preponderate. Tales, sketches, and poetry, illustrative of the Scottish character, and of a nature fitted to call forth ihe sympathies of Scotchmen both at home and abroad, will occupy a conspicuous place. In this department, the co-operation of various distinguished authors, possessing unrivalled futilities for the task, has been secured- in politics, tho Journal will occupy a thoroughly independent position, alike free from party bias and national prejudice. In or- der to ii terefct its readers wherever situated, i< will take a broad view of topics of this class, hoiding those of a merely local nature, except n so far as they may p;esent points of import- ance to the general public Questions involv- ing the interests of Jiritish residents in tho United States and in the British Provinces, will be specially consideied, and it is believed that the information and nows of the Journal on this impo tant class of subjects w ill be tuth as shall command attention. The Scottish American Journal, will in every respect be conducted in an efficient and business like manrer, with every requisite guarantee for its permanence. The proprietors, who are responsible parties, resident in New York and elsewhere, therefore look with con- fidence for the support of their numerous coun- trymen in all parts of America, and they will be glad to communicate with respectable par- ties at a distance who may be disposed to co- operate with them for the establishment of the paper in their respective localities. A publication cstab'ished with these objects must of course look for support mainly fiom those connected by birth or descent with the country whose current history it chronicles ; but as the broad basis of this journal necessi tates, in addition, tho treatment of all import- ant questions affecting American interests, and as its literature will be cosmopolitan, it is hoped that even to the general reader its columns will not appear unentei'taininn or profitless.

MORSE, the inventor of Morse’s Indian Root Pills, has spent the greater portion of his life in travelling, having visited Europe, Asia and Africa, as woll as North Americaâ€" has spent three years among tin Indians of our Western countryâ€"it was in this way that the Indian Root Pills wore first discovert* d. Dr. Morse was the first man lo establish the fact that all diseases arise from IMPURITY OF THE BLOODâ€"that our strength, health and life depended upon this vital fluid. When tho various passages become clogged, and do not act in perfect harmony with tho dif- ferent functions of the body, the blood loses its action, becomes thick, corrupted and diseased ; thus causing all pains, sickness and distress of every name ; our strength is exhausted, our health we are deprived of, and if nature is not assisted in tnrowing oft' tho stagnant humors, the blood will become choked and cease lo act, and thus our light of life will be forever blown out. How important then that wo should keep the various passages of the body free and open. And how pleasant to us that we have it in our power lo put. a medicine in your reach, namely, Morse’s Indian Root Pills, in«mnfactured from plants and roots which grow around tho mou 1 - atnious cliffs in Nature’s Garden, for the health and recovery of diseased man. Ono of tlie roi ts from which these Pills aro made is a Sudorific, which opens tho pores of the skin, and assists Nature in throwing out the finer parts of the corruption within. The second is a plant which is an Expectorant, that opens and unclogs the passage to ihe lungs by copious spitting. The third is a Diuretic, which gives ease and double strength to the kidneys; thus encouraged, they draw large amounts of im- purity from the blood, which is then thrown out bountifully by the urinary or water passage, and which could not have been discharged in any other way. The fourth is a Cathartic, and accompanies the other properties of the Pills while engaged in purifying the blood ; the coarser particles of impurity which cannot pass by ihe other outlets, are thus taken up and From the above, it is shown that Dr. Morse’s Indian Root Pills not only enter the stomach, but become united with the blood, for they find their way to every part, and complete- ly rout and release the system from all i input I* v, and tho life of the body, which is tho blooa, becomes porfectly healthy; consequently all sickness and pain is driven from tho system, for they cannot remain when the body becomes so pure and clear. The reason why people are so distressed when sick, and why so many die, is because they do not get a medicine which will pass to the afflicted parts, and which will open the natural passage for the disease to bo cast out; hence, a large quantity of food and other matter is lodged, and tho stomach and intestines are literally overflowing’ with the corrupted mass ? thus undergoing disagreeable fermentation-, constantly mixing with the blood, which throws tho corrupted matter through every vein and artery, until life is taken from tho body by disease. Dr. Morse’s PILLS have added to themselves victory upon victory, by restoring millions of the sick to blooming health and hap- piness. Yos, thousands who have been racked or tormented with sickness, pain and anguish, and whoso feeble frames have been scorched by the burning elements of fever, and who have been brought, as it were, within a step of he silent grave, now stand ready to testify that they would have been numbered with tho dead, had it not been for this great and wonderful medicine, Morse’s Indian Root Pills. Afterone or two doses had been taken, they were as tonishod, and absolutely surprised, in witnessing their charming effects. Not only do they give immediate ease and strength, and take away all sickness, pain and anguish, but they at once go to work at the foundation of tho disease, which is the blood. Therefore, it will be shown, especially by those who use there Pills, that they will so dense and purify, that diseaseâ€" that deadly enemyâ€"will take its flight, and the flush of youth and beauty will again return, and the prospect of a long and happy life will cherish and brighten your days.

It is therefore hoped that the Printers of Cana- da will shov. their appreciation of the advantages it holds out, by be towing upon il a fair share of their patronage, in return for which the propriet- ors pledge themselves lo leave 110 means untried to give ample satisfaction. Printers ! mark the reduction in Ihe price of type s lice this Foundry was opened ; and bear in mind that a greater teduction depend upon your- selves. Our motto isâ€"supply the trade with type of such quantities and at such prices as vvillpre- vent the necessity of patronising foreign manu- factures.

PIERSON, Corresponding Editor, Tho object of Ihe Woman’s Advocate is the opening out of new spheres of employment for women who have so long suffered the distress attendant upon the insufficient remuneration, and a too limited number of occupations. The paper endeavors to collect all informa- tion that can be important to women, relative lo occupations better suited to them, and which will yield a more comfortable subsistence than tho few unhealthy trades upon which they have been so far obliged to depend for exis- tence. 'Phe Advocate employs, in the various de- partments of the business, many women, wrho are paid for their labor as high prices as are paid to men for the same amount of work. To tho editor and proprietor the past three years in which she has been engaged in this work, have been years of anxiety and toil; but the cmerprize has been carried on with the hope of doing good to others, and finally pushing the business to a successful point, when it may re- munerate ail concerned. With this hope she enters the field for another year, trusting to the many assurances of friends >11 all parts of the country, for aid and co-operation.
