[From I-Iogg's Instruotor.] THE FIELD OF THE CLOTH OF GOLD. \Vho, either in history, in romance, in legend or in song, has not read of the ‘Field of the Cloth of Gold!’ Its splen- dours have been celebrated by minstrels and tronbadours, chronicles have recorded its minutest details, and the page of Home has not disdained to speak of it as the most brilliant and gorgeous spectacle of its ago. By some it has even been char- acterised as the most magnificent that Europe over beheld. It was well known that the originator ofihis singular pageant was Cardinal Wolsey ; who, for political purposes, thus plan- ned a meeting between Henry the Eighth of England, and Francis the First of France, the two most powerful monsrchsof their time. It took place on the French soil, near the town of Gnisucs. in the month of June, and in the year of our Lord I520. Iiietorianstcll us,ihst, after he had planned it, the mighty Wolsey, having sold himself to the Emperor Charles, I higher bidder for his favour than Francis, would fain have broken it ofli But the nature of Henry was not such, as that his otherwise all-powerful favorite could venture upon attempt- ing to take this step. The principal personages present at the scene, in addition to Henry, Francis and Wolsey, Katharine of Enelsnd, Queen Clsuile of France, and the Do wager Queen of France, the beautiful Duchess of Snflblk, Henry had not yet become the stern and selfish tyrant, whose deeds of cruelty make the heart‘ of every christian now thrill with horror. He was only then the “ B|ulI'King Hal”—tlie gay, the joyous, the loving and heloved—ilie idol of his subjects, and the sovereign respected by the world. Francis was gentle and manly in his nature; and was of a disposition calculated both to grace the show and to enjoy it. 'I‘he great Wolsey was a man that bore himself loftily. and with not more loltiness than natural diunity, as be. some the prime minister of an illustrious king. Katharine of England was good as well as gentle. Claude, the amiable. the domesticated. the well-trained step-daughter of Ann of Bretegne, was worthy of her place. And the lively and grace- ful Sufliilk tlie dowager qneen—she who, rather less than five years before. had ascended a llirone an unwilling and weeping bride—wae one of those who most ardently devoted herself to the rsvelries around. The Dowager Queen of Frsrice’s fate had. at one period of her life, been a hard one.--Passiiiniitely attached in one of her brother's subjects, the noble Suffolk, and by him loved in re- turn, her warm ,‘ssions and vivid feelings had been set at nought. For reasons of state policy, she had been compelled to marry in king of France, who was elderly, sickly. and quer- ulons: and who, immediately after her marrisge, had sent home from her every endeared friend and attendant that had so- companied her from her native land. ‘or the death of such a husband, her sorrow was not likely to have been either deep or long. Her marriage with her royal spouse did not last above three or four months. Among those assembled to do honor to the tilts and tourna- ments of the Field of the Cloth of Gold, were the loftiest of Chsistendom’s kniglits, and the loveliest of Christendom’: daughters. There was Bayard the ehevalier sans pent‘ at run: reproehe. There was the noble 'l‘remouille, and the lofty Constable of iiourbon. There, also in addition to the magnifi- cent structures for king and court, and in addition to the ac- coilmqdation required in and about th: liatlpd town of Guisdnes, ‘:33 to b twot ousen ei lit iin r tsnts,ere to for the use’ of il.i.e9EngIieh alone. ‘There were noble and? baron, knight and squire, yeomeii and citizen, of “ merry England,” ciiisons‘ wives in their richest silks and heaviest chains, Jews, pedlsrs, tredeepeople and rogues. There, to quote the quaint language of one who saw it, were “ vagebonds, plowmen, ls- lsorerv, waggoners, and be gsrs, that for drunkenness lay in heaps, so great rssorte thet er came, that both knightee and ladies that war come to see the noblenee, were faiiie lye in he e and strawe, and hold theim thereof highly pleased.” he accommodation provided for King Henry, and for the privileged members of his court, was on the most princely scale. They were housed in an edifice of oriental gorgeous- ness. The richest tapestry, embroidered silk. jewelry of every kind, all that art could produce or wealth devise, constituted its materials: and the tent itself, the nucleus ofthe show, in which Henry and Francis were to hold conference, was hung round with cloth of gold. This it was which gave the meet- ing its title—a title which will endure to the latest time. It is, perhaps, worthy of remark, that the age which wit- nessed the Field of the Cloth of Gold was one characterised by the existence of men, in dillereiit countries, distinguished for the po=seasion of talents of u peculiarly exalted kind. It was the age of Solyman the Magnificent, of Leo the Tenth, of Charles the Fifth, of Sir Thomas Moore, of Martin Luther, and of Raphael, the great painter, whose '.'I’OfllIlPflS have been the admiration of eveiy subsequent age. The chrnnicler Hall, has given a full and interesting ac- count of the dirunal transactions of the Field of the Cloth of Gold. To his pages we refer the reader; being ofthe opinion which he erinnciates, that " to tell the apparel of the ladies, their rich attyree, their sumtitnous juclles, their diversities of beaiiiies. and their goodly behaviour from day to day,siihe the fyrst motying, I assure you too men's wits can source de- clare it." Tris: Prtoortsse or C0|Il'0I't1'.--In the first period of the oc- cupation of England by mankind there is no doubt that, as the flesh of animals served for food, so their sltins served for clothes. They had no woollen fabrics to use for such a pur- pose : they had neither manufactures of their own nor money, nor any articles of barter, to exchange for the clothing ma- terials made by the nations ofthe continent who were more advanced in knowledge and comfort. Woollen clothes (first made in the country in Hill.) and those of flax were'the early products of advancing knowledge and civilization. Those of silk were not made in England till about the year I604. Hate were not made in this country till about the year 1510. Shoes were not introduced of the present fashion, until 1633. As to furniture, the early inhabitants of England employed leaves and dried grass for beds; logs of wood or stories served the ofllce of chairs and tables ; the earth was their floor. It was only by gradual degrees that benches and other raised seats were used. The floor was at length garnished with rush- es and straw, mixed with sweet scented hay or flowers. Another long interval e|epsed—before l750—carpets were made in England. The beds on which our ancestors slept were often made of straw; even the kin ‘a beds were made of it to the year 1934. Linen was firet in e in England in I253. English blankets were not made before about I340. Calico was not manufactured in England till about the year I769. A Ssimsr Bt.ooisIn.—A oung lady lately appeared at a hall in a neighbouring city, reused in short skirts and pants. The gentlemen admired her nest and comfortable dress, but several ladies accused her of being immodest. She turned to some of them whose dresses were quite low in the neck, and replied, " if you will pull up your dresses to a proper place IlI0’Ill your necks, your skins will hang no lower thou mine do. ’ Tits Anvsit-raou or Sicsirsss.-1 may say one good thing of sickness, that it is the best care in the world for ambition and designs, upon the world, or fortune ; it makes a man retty indifferent for the future. provided he can be easy, by intervals, for the prsasiit.—Peysdsr’s Literary Extracts. 3: filiercllouroue.

To dig a cave, or to us one ulres y prepared by nature, was but an enlargement of the grave ; and the costliest sepulchre is but a wider eofln. Mau- soleunis and p rsmids can do no more than delay for n time the ful- filinent ofilie ecree——" Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou re- turn." Some savage tribes es the bodies of the dead to the sun and iiir,—n scaffolds. '1 e Parsess at Bombay even leave them to the vultures. The classic nations of atitiquityncommonly burned their dead, whose asbes weretbel collected urea and sepulclired. One of the first productions of the grave is horns. Indeed, inflammable air has issued from cemeteries ; and I s dead body has been known to take fire spontaneousl . After this stage of corruption are informed consuming slkslies. similar to those, which, for a like purpose, are sometirnss deposited in populous burial places, or with the bodies of beasts. Al I still later period, oily and fat substances are generated and all unplea- sant smells disappear. The bones remain still later, and, latest of all, the teeth and hair; till at length those are dissolved, and noth- ing distinguishes the'IIust of men'from the surroundin soil. All this in some circumstances is sccom lished wit amadng ru- pidily. In Yucatan, it is the custom to co lect, after some months, the bones of the dead and place them all in-one heap, exposed to beautiful view ; and so speedy is the decay that onl a few months need intervene between i e burial of the body and tire collection of the bones. At the great burial lace in Nsples,—where the vaults are three hundred and sixty-five in number, and one is opened every day of the year for the reception of dead bodies, uiclr-lirne is thrown in; and at the expiration of the year, scarcely t least relic of the human frame is apparent. In other circumstances, however. the process of decay is slow; not onl the skulls of Whitefield and Milton have been mass: and handled ; but the lineaments of Kings who had been buried for centuries have been seen once niore.——The almost gigantic bod of \Villiiim the Conqueror,—afler it had been entombed four be red and filly years, was found almost entire.—-When the tombs of the French princes at St. Denys‘ were rifled, during the revolution of I789, the features of Ilenry the Fourth, who had been buried one hundred and eighty (years, were found perfect. Other instances might be mentioned 0 the lvod ‘a resistance to the decree of Pro. videnee ; but this can be but dir n time. Into dust it shall return.

The disciples ofEinanuel Swedenborg regard all death as a trans. lation to it higher state of being. “ We say,” writes one of their eloquent minister-, of our departed friends, ‘ 'l‘hey are gone !' —the angels say, ‘ They are come !' We say, ' They are dead l’ the angels say. ' They are alive !’ We say, ' They are fnllgn asleep in Jesus.'—the angels say, ‘ The are awakened to a bliss- ful and joyous resurrection morning.’ rid that this faith of the “ New Church" is sufficient to staunch the fountains of paternal or fraternal sorrow of its believers, we have ourselves had an oppor. tunity of seeing. It is not rnnny months since we attended the funeral of a young friend, who with his family. belonged to the church of Swedeiiborg. The scene at the house surprised, while it‘ gratified us. There was no dead silence. no darkened vvllldowl and darker faces, glooniing in the and habiliments of woe ; but the win- down and doors open -, the up-utments were light and cltessfut; there were no suppressed sobs or violent weeping. Until the minis- ter began to speak, hopefully and cheerfully, of the departed bro- ther, who had gone to another and a better world. the friends and acquaintance of the deceased gathered about the eoflin which stood in the hall, and spoke affectionately rind familiarly of the spirit which had so lately informed the passive elay that lay before them. No h_itter tears were shed—-no heart seemed wrung with anguish. Certainly _it was, to our eye, a perfect realisation of the strength and sincerity of a faith which could thus “ overcome the dei-kn”. of death" and illumine the gloom of the grave. TH: us: or I-‘ni1i'r.—Instesd of standing in any fear of a generous consump ion of ripe fruits, we regard them as positively conducive to health. The very maladies assumed to have their ori. gin _in a free use of apples, peaches, cherries, melons, and sand berries. have been quite as prevalent. if not equally destructive, in seasons of scarcity. There are so rniiny erroneous notions en-- tertnined of the bad effects of fruit, that it is quite time a counter. acting impression should be promulgated, having its foundation in common sense, and based on the coriinion observation of the intelli- gent. iVe have no patience in reading the endless rules to be ob- served in this particular department of physical omfort.

Arr EIAIIPLI IN HIGH I’i.acl:s.—Vicioris, Queen of Eng. land, has caused notice to be given to Lord Maiden, that his pre- sence in the court of Her Majesty will be dispensed with hence- forth. The reason for this is found in the fact that Lord Maiden recently seduced the wife of one of his friends. it understood that the eorrupters of the urity of the conjugal rein- tions and the invaders of the peace a happiness of the homes of England, cannot be allowed to approach the person or enter the presence of the Sovereign, no _matter how exalted the rank of the of_I'snder.
