THE BELLES. An unwarrantable liberty taken with Edgar A. Poe's poem of “The Belis.””

Hear the laughter of the belles— Merry belles! What uncomfortable feelings their merriment compels ! How I shiver, shiver, shiver, Lest my collar isn't right, And my nerves begin to quiver, Lest my waistcoat they diskiver isn’t serupulously white ; And they laugh, laugh, laugh, As I fidget with my scarf, For I dread the cachination that so musically swells, I'rom the belles, belles, belles, belles, Belles, belles, belles— From the witty and the pretty cruel belles.

Hear the very learned belles— Azure belles! What vast erudition their conversation tells! Through the quiet hours of night How laboriously they write, With their pretty colored ink And golden pen! How all manly spirits shrink In their estimation! how inferior they think Stupid men ! From the publishers’ dark cells | What a lot of commonplace voluminously wells! | How it swells! ?

|

But never sells, For the Future rings its knells; Then what is it that impels To the writing and inditing Of the belles, belles, belles, belles, Belles, belles, belles— To the rhyming waste-of-timing of the belles?

Hear the loud amusing belles— Brazen belles! | What a tale of impudence their turbulency tells! | Their characters are strong, If you ask them for a song, You only have to speak And they shriek, shriek, shriek, Out of tune!

Now in clamorous appealing to Apollo’s golden lyre, Then in lamentation mournful for Erin’s broken lyre,

Singing higher, higher, higher,

Witha desperace desire,

And a resolute endeavor

Now—now to reach or never,

SCOLDING MATCH EXTRAORDINARY.—O’CON. NELL AND THE WIDOW.

| In Madden’s Revolution of Ireland we find a whimsical jaccount of a scold ng match between the late Mr. O'Connell, thes a young man just called to the bar, and one Biddy | Moriarty, an ancient widow, who kept a huxter’s stall. on ‘one of the quays nearly opposite the Four Courts, and whose | powers of abuse were noiorious from one end of Dublin to ithe other. The lingual duella was the result of a wager, Mr. O'Connell backing himself to outscold and silence the virago. The result is thus deseribed :—

The party adjourned to the huxter’s stall, and there was | the owner berself, superintending the sale of her small wares '—a few loungers and ragged idlers were hanging around her

stall, for Biddy was a ‘character,’ and, in her way, Was one of the sightso! Dublin.

| O’Conuell was very confident of success. He had laid an ingenious plan tor overcoming her, and, with all the anxiety }ofau ardent experimentalist, waited to put it into practice. He resolved to open the attack. At this tiaie, O’Connell’s own ‘party, and the loungers about the place, formed an audience | quite sufficient to rouse Mrs. M wiarty. on public provocation, O'Vonnell commenced ithe attack :-—

‘What’s the price of this walking stick, Mrs. What’s- your-nanie ?

* Siorlarty, sir, Is my name, and a good one it is; and what ave you to say agen it ? and one and sixpence is the price of the stick. Troth, it’s cheap us dirt, 80 it Is,’ | * One and sixpence for a walking stick ; whew! why, you are no better than an imposter, to ask eighteen-pence for |what cost you two-pence.’

* Two-pence, y ur grandmother,’ replied Mrs. Biddy ; ‘ do you mean to say that it is cheating people 1 am ? imposter ‘indeed !’ ‘Ay. imposter ; and it’s :hat I call you to your teeth,’ rejoined O'Connell, * Come cut your stick, you cantankerous jackanapes.’ ‘Keep a civil tongue 1 your bead, you old diagonel,’ cried O’Conuell, caluily. | *Stop your jaw, you pugnosed badger ; or by this and by \thet,’ cried Mrs. Moriarty, ‘ U’ll make you go quicker than }you came.’

‘Don’t be in a pa-sion, my old radius—anger will only }wrinkle your beauty.’

. . . ° } HE subscri er, seeing the necessity of a convenient place |

| ‘By the hokey, if you say another word of impudence, | a very high temper, and ef this Court bad not stopped short |

| L'il tan your dirty hide, you bastely commun scrub; and sorry Ud be to soil my fists upon your caicase.’

‘Whew! boys, what a passion oid B ddy is in; I protest as | am a geutleman

‘Jintleman! jintieman! the likes of you a jistleman! ' Wisha, by gor, that bang- Bunayber. Why, you potato-faced, pipplu-iaced sueezer, when did a Madagascar monkey like you pick up enough of common Christian decency to hide your Kerry brogue ? | * Kusy, now—-easy now,’ cried Q’Connell, with imperturbable good humor, * don't choke yourself with your five language, you old whiskey-drinking parallelogram.’

* What's that you cali me, you wuiderin’ villian? roared Mrs. Moriarty, stung into fury.

* Lf cai you,’ answered O'Conuell, ‘a parallelogram ; and a Dublin Judge aud Jury will say that it is no libel to call you 80.”

* Un, tare-an-ouns ! oh, holy Biddy ! that an honest woman like me suvuld be called & barrybeil)grum to ber face! Pm

‘cowardly, sneaking, plate-licken blackguard !’ ‘Oh not you indeed? retortei O'Connell; «why I suppose you'll deny you keep a Aypotheneuse in your house.’ | ‘It’s a lie for you, you b—y robber; [ never bad such a thing in my house, you swindling thief.’

‘Why sure all the neighbors knows very well that you!

The sinking is reported at about 100 feet deep, and dry, and about 4,009 persons are said to be at work. On tae Ovens the miners

| *Ah, you ean’t deny the charge, you miserable submudtiple | of a duplicate ratio.’

‘ (xo riuse your mouth in the Liffy, you nasty tickle-pitcher ; after all the bad words you speak, it ought to be filthier than your face, you dirty chicken of Beelaebub.’

‘ Rinse your own mouth, you wicked-minded old palygon— to the deuce [ pitch you, you blustering intersection of a st—ng superficious !"

‘You saucy tinker’s apprentige, if you don’t hold your jaw, I'll ’——but here she gasped for breath, unable to hawk up any more new words, fer the last volley of O'Connell had knocked the wind out of her.

‘While T-have a tongue, I'll abuse you, you most inimitable periphery Look at her boys! there she stands

tamination in her circwmference, and she trembles with guilt down to the extremities of her coraliaries. Ah! so you're found out, you rectilineal antecedent and equiangular ield hag! I is with you the devil wiil fly away, with you, you porter-swipping similitude of the Lisection of a vortex.’

Overwheimed with this torrent of language, Mrs. Moriarty was silenced, Catching a saucepan, she was aiming at U*Connell's head when he very prudently made a timely retreat.

‘You have won the wager, O'Connell, here's your bet,’ cried the gentleman who proposed the contest.

O’Connell knew well the use of sound in the vituperation ; and, having to deal with an ignorant scold, determined to overcome her in volubility by using all the sesguidedalia verba which occur in Euclid. With these, and a few signifi- cant epithets, and a scofing, impudent demeanor, he had, for ouce, imposed silence on Biddy Moriarty.

Reiterated shouts of laughter by the whole court, in whieh | the bench itseif joined, followed this repartee, Silence |having been at length obtained, the judge, with much seeming | | gravity, accosted the chop-fallen couusel thus:

JupiciaL Dianrry av Lovstana.—Speaking of grand juries | reminds we that the Parish Court is now in session here, his! Honour Kiah Rodgers presiding—Old Kye, or Ky, they | (usually call him, Old IXy was passing sentence on a ertini-|

nal, aud delivered himself as follows :—* Prisoner, stand jup? Mr. Kettles, this Vourt is under the painful necessity | jot passing seutence of the jaw upon you, sir. T'bis Court jhas no doubt, Mr, Kettles, but what you were brought into | this scrape by the use of intoxicating liquor. The friends of | ithis Court all kuows that ef thar is any vice this Court ab-} (hors, it is iutemperance.

An overseer who had been discharged broaght suit | agaiust his ewployer for the wiole year’s wages, alleging that bebad been disovarged without sufficient grounds. Old Ky charged the jury as fullows :—* Tue jury will take notice that this Court is well acquainted with th@ nature of the case. | When this Court first started out in the world it followed the | business of overseeing, and ef thur is a business which the Court uude:siands, it’s bosses, mules, and biggers—tiough | the Court never over-eed in its lite for less thin 800 dolls — aud this Court in hoss racin’ was always naterally gilted ; aud this Courtio runving a quarter race whar the buses was turned, vould aljevs tara a hoss so as to gain 15 feet ina race ; and that ou a certaiu occasion in the parish of West Feiici- aba it was one of the conditious of the race that Ky Rodgers should’: turn wary one of tie hoses.’ Another case was up, and two Jawyers vot into a figut—oue of them a preacher of

/a movement towards one or two new localities, where a fair

| prospect bas opened. In the old main iead at Maryborough,

some good patches have been struck, one party obtained 16

oz. from a load of dirt, and another 8 oz., besides 4 oz. in

nuggets. The rush near Havelock is turning out well, and claims are being worked over a large extent of ground. At Bendigo and Ballarat we observe that some of the older | grounds are attracting fresh attention and that instanees of | remarkable success are occurring in localities that were | Supposed to have been long since worked out. During the

jlast month 16,157 oz. of gold have been shipped tor Hong Kong, the greater portion of which has been shipped in the name of Chinamen, who have, during their stay in Victoria,

Tae Istanp or Borneo.—Sir James Drookes, of Saranak, in his speech at Manchester on 21st of Apri!, dwelt on the Island of Borneo as a political and commercial station. Borneo, he said, is next to Australia, the largest island in the world, as its length is 800 miles and its breadth 700. jit is more fertile than Australia, and although crossed by the equator, its geographical peculiariries give it in parts an European climate. Unlike Australia, it abounds in animals of nearly all kinds, and it already contains a population of three millions of people, all capable of civilization. All the tropical fruits grow in it, and its mineral riches are immense. Toe largest diamond known was found here within a few years.

Mebruary 9, before Lueknow. He has not been heard from

| since the fall of that place, but as the British loss was small, for the opposite side, that learned counsel rather flippantly |

itis hoped he was not killed. We are permitted to make the following extract from his letter :—

* We are in camp before the Sepoys, and expect an attack from the enemy every day. Sir Colin Campbell is looked lor to-morrow. We have thus far fought our way through the country among the blacks.

Prince Epwarp [staxp.—The guarantee by the British Government of a loan of £100,000 to this Colony, at a rate

| of interest not cxceeding 4 per cent. per annum, is hailed as

a great boon, as it will enable the local government to pur-

| chase the fee simple of'a large quantity of land held by absent proprietors,’and thus open it to actual settlers. {u 1767 ithe greater portion of the Island was disposed of by lottery,

the tickets being distributed among officers of the Army and Navy, who had served in the preceding war, aud other per-

;sons who had claims upon the Imperial Government. The

land was granted upon certain conditions. ‘The proprietors were obliged to introduce one settler for every 100 acres,

jand to pay a quit rent varying from 2s, to 2s, Gd. per an. ‘num. The terms, bowever, were never enforced, and in 1830

the quit reut was abandoned altogether, and a land tax sub- stituted. It was found that the large tracts held by non-re-

| sidents shut up the Island to actual settlers, and retarded its

prosperity. ‘he object of the loan is to buy back the land, and dispose of it in smail lots fer settlement.

Prince Edward Island coutains about 1,595,460 aeres, its area being 2,154 square miles.—The population in 1858

In 1848 the quantity of land ander cultivation was 215,389 aeres. Now that it is to be opened up for settlement, We may expect that this fine Colony will advauce more rapidly than heretofore. —New Brunswicker.

Coal or no coal, * the Bowmanville stuff burns in a fire giving out great heat and more gas than Ohio or Muglish cual.” It is understood that a fresh boring is to be made, to determine the extent of the seam, and if it prove satis- factory, a shaft wili be sunk, and mining operations com- meuced.
