SELECTIONS for the FAMILY CIRCLE.

GOVERNMENTAL OBSIBVANCE OF THE SABBATH.

The following copy of a Bill was sent to us by a member of the Canada Legislative Assembly, on which is the endorsement that it passed the second reading on the 9th inst.

An Act to protect the Employers of the Government of this Province [Canada] in certain Departments of tho Public Service, from being compelled to labour on the Lord's day. '

Whereas, It is the right of all men tb re- frain from ordinary labour on Sunday, and experience hath shown that the habitual prosecution of such Sunday labour is in- jurious to the physical and moral well-being of man; and" whereas, the denial of this right to a la_rge class of meritorious persons in the employment of the Government, is unjust to those,persons and their families; And whereas, the habitual deepatching and

' running of boats and stages with the public

mails, and the opening of the locks on the canals, and the tritnsaction of business at all the post oflices throughout the country, on Sunday, is not only unjust to the ser- vants of Government, but has it tendency to lower the public morality, and to encou- rage the open disregard of an observance which it is alike the duty and the in _, of all carefully tb uphold; Be it the’ “ enacted, &.c., as follows ;

1. No post olfice in this Province shall‘ be opened for the transaction of business on Sunday; nor shall any letter, paper, packet, or other mailed matter, be delivered from any olfice on Sunday. _

II. No mail shall be made up at or des- patched from any post office on Sunday.

Ill. Any mail despatched from any point on Saturday, but which shall not have reached its destination by Sunday, shall he stopped and held over until Monday morn- ing, at the first of the following places which it shall reach on Sunday, namely: Chat- ham, London, Hamilton, Toronto, Kings- ton, Montreal, Quebec, and River du Loup on as.

IV. The locks on all the canals in this Province shall be closed from Saturday at midnight, until Sunday at midnight.

" Mark that text, ‘ He that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compas him about.’ I read it in my youth, and believed; and now I read it in my old age, thank God, I know it to be true. 0, it is a blessed thing, in the midst of the sorrows of the world, Able, to trust in the Lord!”

Csnnirur. WISIMAN on Loivors:r.t.ow.— Cardinal \Viseman rececently delivered a lecture in Lordon, on the “ Home Educa- tion of the Poor,” in the course of which he spoke as follows of our poet Longfellow: “ There is no greater lack,” said the Car- dinal, “in English literature, than that of a poet of the people—of one who shall be to the labouring classes of England what Goethe is to the peasant of Germany. He was a true philosopher who said, ‘ Let me make the songs ofa nation, and I care not who makes its laws.’ There is one writer who approaches nearer than any other to this standard, an c has already gained such a hold on our hearts that it is almost unnecessary for me to mention his name. Our hemisphere cannot claim the honour of having brought him, forth—-but still he be- longs to us, for his works have become as household words wherever the English lan- guage is spoken. And, whether we are charmed by his imageay, or soothed by his melodious versification, or elevated by the hi h moral teachings of his pure muse, or fol w with nympathizing hearts the wanderings of Evangeline, I am sure that all who hear my voice will join with me in the tribute I desire to pay to the genius of Longfellow.’,

Aririricur. CHICKIN Hs'rcni.-to.-—We ‘notice in the English papers, that quite an improvement on the old plan ‘of chicken hatching has been made b aMr. Carlo Minasi, requiring much less attention to the machine during the process of incubation than formerly. This was the great ob- jection to all previously constructed hatch- ing machines. It may now go three days without attention; formerly it could be scarcely lefi three hours, This new incubator is a very simple contrivance, and can, consequently, be constructed at about one-fourth of the expense formerly required. The practical results are equally satis- factory, lor he states that the average number ofbirds produced is eighty out of every one hundred eggs. The‘ necessary heat is obtained from a naptha lamp, Without a wick, which is so arranged that it may be left to itself for two or three days together, and yet the process of hatching goes on with due regularity and certainty. The eggs are placed on a series of tubes, through which a stream of hot water is, by means ofthe naptlia lamp kept ' constantly flowing; and when the chicken comes out of the shell, it is placed beneatlr the same tubes, which now perform th‘e second duty ofthe artificial parent. Aller being kept there the proper time, it is removed to a _compartmant. more suited to its increasing "strength, and is ultimately placed in a pen in the open air. Mr. Carlo Minasi has not confined his operations to mere barndoor fowls, but has taken a flight into the regions of what may be termed scientific natural history, and displays, with satisfaction, as a proof of his skill,‘a very healthy specimen ofthe barnacle goose, which is to be an addition to the Ornithological Society’s collection in the Regent‘e Park. The en- thusiastic pursuit of his art does not allow Mr. Carlo Minasi to stop here, for his suc- cess has excited his ambition even_to the incubation of the e s of an ostrich, which he feels quite confident he could accouiplish. Should it prove so, it would be advisable, before the time arrived to welcome the little long-legged stranger, to remind the establishment of the old maxim, and the occasion on which it was used, of“ Ever one for himself,” as the, donkey said when

a danced among the chickens-—to prevent serious doings in that miniature poultry yard. The eggs are half embedded in sand, which is placed over the tubes, charged with hot water, so that it is an under heat which performs the hatching. Mr. Minasi informed us, that from being thus embedded, the some heal only as that of the hen is required; whereas, in incubators in which the eggs are not so embedded, the heatis obliged to be greater, from which the chickens suffer in strength.

O ''‘A

news or ran snenisatsu.

The Steamer Lady Lemarchant, arrived on Thursday evening, she brings the following:

IMPORTANT NEWS.

A Battle has been fought on the River Al- ms, in which the Russians were comletely routed, Allies Inst ‘2000, Russians 4000.

Private despatches have reached Vienna by telegraph, stating that the bombardment of Sebastopol commenced at daybreak on the -ltll. The shower of shot and shell was terrific. It is said the Poles who form a portion of the garrison had ravolted.

Other despatchea state upwards ofa hun- dred heavy guns, and a quantity of siege material, were landed at Bela Clava on the 29th. The besieging batteries were to be placed on the hei hts overlooking the town on the south si e of the harbour of Sebastopol. The siege works were pro- gressing rapidly, and when completed would command the whole of the enemy’s posi- tions.

Despatches tr-om Constantinople state that upon the 3d, the batteries intended for the attack upon Sebastopol were almost completed, and that the trenches had been. advanced within fifteen hundred yards front the external works of the fortllioatlons.

The allied army had ‘cut of the sources’ from which the town of Sebastopol derived its supplies of water.

The Russians, it was said,-were prepared to sink the nine vessels of the line which yet remain to in.

The Allies expected to carry the piece in_ a very short space of time.‘ ' ‘

Anoriinn ACCDUNT4‘ _-

On the ill of October Sebsstopol was

aqueduct was in the hands of the’ allies. It was understood that the bombsrdulfinl of the forte was to commence »nnmediate_ly,-

and to be-eontlntted ill the Oh. on which

completely htvested on the south and the "

day it was robable that an assault would be made. he Russians have formed san batteries and armed them with shi s’ guns, but the range of the allies’ artillery is greater than that of the enemy.

Although it is by no means im robable that the siege artillery of the allie armies was mounts in the batteries round Sebas-' topol on the 4th of October, and that the bombardment may ave commenced on that day. we have as yet no oflicial infor- mation of the fact; but, as the landing of the heavy guns commenced on the 29th, and was carried on as rapidly as the con- tracted dimensions of the port.ofBala Clava arid the means of transport at our disposal would allow, it is not unreasonable to sup- pose that 6 days would enable the Generals and Engineers to bring at least some their mortars to bear upon the town. We are, however, still uncertain whether Prince Menschikolf, or whoever else com- mands in Sebastopol, is already so reduced in strengt or in courage as to permit these patteries to be established on the heights without opposition. The guns once placed there within range, and defend- ed by French or English troops, the den- truction ofthe place, and all that it contains, is absolutely inevitable, unless it be averted by n capitulation. For the sake of humani- ty we must hope,. that the defence will not be prolonged to desperation. Sebastopol is a town which contained before the war about 80,000 souls, including soldiers, sen- men, and dockyurd workmen. A large portion ofthe town in built of wood, and, if the allies are‘ compelled to bombard it to extremity, it is possible that the whole place may be destroyed in a vast conflagration. Such a catastrophe, however just as a punishment upon the guilty authors ofthese terrible events, would involve such an enormous mass ofhuman beings in destruc- tion, that we sincerely hope it may be pre- vented by a timely surrender. At present we know but little of the means of defence on which Prince Menschikotf may rely, but one of his expedients is of so unusual and questionable a character that it deserves notice. The French and English Admirals have reported to their respective Govem- ments, that on or before the 23rd of Sept. and immediately after the Battle of the Alma, the Russians took the singular deter- mination of sinking five line-of-battle ships and two frigates in eight or ten fnthoms of water at the mouth of the harbour, so as to block up the passage. These vessels were sunk with all their guns and stores on board, and their rigging standing, insomuch that their topmasts were still visible above the water, and large quantities ofornament- tal woodwork and otherlight articles floated out of them, and have bccn picked up out- side. Considering that Prince Menschikolf is an Admiral and the Imperial Minister of Marine, that is a very unseamanlike use to make of his fleet; for not only has he sacri- ficed one-half of the Russian navy in the Black Sea, solely to prevent our ships from entering the harbour under the batteries, but by the some measure he has wholly precluded the rest of the fleet from going out, and the whole are thus doomed to in- glorious destruction. Admiral Dundas has allowed l,000 Marines to land in order to join the operations of the army T e e can be no reason now that the wliolo force amounting to 2,500 inert, should not do the same; for, by closing the entrance ofthe harbour and sinking half their ships the Russians have shown, that an engagement at sea is impossible. It would seem from the present disposition of the allied forces between Bela (Java and Ca Chersonese that the north side ofthe harbour of Sebas- topol is not invested, and that the whole of the country north of Sebastopol is now evacuated by the allied forces which lately passed through it. This inference is con- firmed by a remarkable, though somewhat obscure iassa e, in a despatch from Admi- ral Duu an of the 28th of September. It seems, that by Lord Raglan's desire the Albion and the Vesuvius were sent back to the Alina river for the express purpose of collecting about 340 wounded Russian sol- diers and oflicers who had been left aller the battle "in the small villages of the dis- trict. Commander Rogers succeeded in getting those prisoners on board the Avon transport, and proceeded with them, under a flag eftruoe, to Odessa, and this was no doubt a very mlite and humane proceeding. But the Admiral goes on to state that in- the performance , of this peculiar service Ca t. Lushington, of the A bion, was obl god to use extraordinary precautions forthe protection of his own people, an that he was even oom elled to‘ embark all his men under the osuvlus, because a body or 6,000 Russians advanced upon him.

I

-division, atier two forced rnarohes, arrived

yesterday, and new eneeinped before

Sebastopol, near a large firm, described on t e maps as “ Khutor Teazdc-otar." The third division is slightly in the rear to the left, and the second and first divisions lean towards Bola. Clavn, where end- quarters are establistied. The French are encamped m and about the latter place, but will, in time, take up their osition on the extreme right. This day a ussinn column issued from the town, ‘and the fouult division ,_ under Sill Geo. Cathcart, advanced to meet it. The Russians then withdrew,

with an evident view to entice the English under the range of their heavy cannons. This ruse, had, however, no effect; for Sir G. Cathcart retired on the enemy's having declined to i_tccept battle. In consequence of this step of the Russians, the three other British divisions were ordered to advance, and they are still under arms.

_A great quantity of stores were burned this afternoon by the enemy. From the encampment of the fourth division, the whole town and forts can be perceived. The latter are most formidable, but are domi- nated by the position occupied by the allies. The town is small, and apparently deserted by the greater part of its inhabitants. It has it drear appearance, unrelieved by shade or trees, owing to the white stone of which the forts and houses are constructed. Figures can be distinguished by the naked eye on the outer forts. .

The landing of the siege trains at Bela Clava commenced yesterday, and will be energetically pursued. Before they can he brought to hear, at least four days will pass. Sebastopol will fall, it is expected in the highest quarters, before twelve days have ela sed.

The generalship displayed by the allied commanders in stormin he town was admirable. Every eflbrtltad been directed by the Russians to render the land forts on the north side impreguable. So demoralized was the enemy after the defeat at Alma that not the slightest resistance was offered to the advance of the allies, although most favourable positions for harassing their march continually offered themselves. The rivers Belbek, Katcha and Cherneva were undefended.

-rris rnnirs is -run satiric.

No news of any interest has been receiv- ed from the Baltic during the lost few days. The mail steamer Bulldog, which arrived at Dantzic on the 8th, reported that the

renter portion of the fleet (all steamers), under the orders of Sir Charles Napier and Admiral Martin, were at anchor near Revel.

and a number’ of'ships were to sail to ’ sund. No attack had been made; b ships of the fleet on" the way to England were under orders to wait at Kiel, &.o., fir further instructions.

nu: NUMBERS ACTUALLY neonate.

Little more than 14,000 of our infantry were actually engaged with the enemy. Twe divi- sions never tired a shot. The victory was won by the Guards, Highlanders, Light and Second Divisions, opposed to at least 20,000 Russians; and the number of French who disposed of the other 20,000 of the Russian army was in like proportion with the bulk of their arm . The critical moment was at the venue of e First Division, and that advance was a sight never to be forgotten. As the marched up the hill. the lines of the black bmtrskius were barely wavering; they were nearly as straight as if on parade, and the Light Division complained that the men of the Guards were losing time in dressing up, as if on parade ground, when they should have been su porting the regiments exposed to such crushing tire. ‘
