to an Irish captain of a gan upon the seaman's inadvertently saying Sir to him, his lordship looked daggers at the slight; and the sailor touching his hat a thousand times, said, 64 Pardon your honor I meant to have said any lord, sir page 194. Now, a man who is everlastingly quoting Camoens and Chancer, should know, that the younger son of an earl" is no lord, not even by courtesy, and can only be made one by patent, like any other commo er. Neither is he correct as to the implied slight; for nothling is more offensive to the ears of a nobleman than everlastingly to be my-lorded. This feeling is so well understool by the London shop-keepers, that strict injunctions are issued by them to all their shopmen, never to address customers by the tittle of my lord" or my lady," though they may know them to be the highest personages of the peerage. Again, our author is incorrect in his his historical reminiscences And as for old Charles the Fifth (the German Emperor of that name,) again, the gay franked, colored suits of cards were invented to while away his dotage." page 230.

In this short sentence Mr. Melville makes two mistakes. The Emperor Charles V. experienced no dotage, but died in Spain of severe bodily suffering; and cards were invented at an earlier period, to please the sickly fancies of King Charles VI of France, whose daughter our Henry the Fifth married. But let us cease to find fault, and turn to something more pleasant.

Mr. Melville is the only American Naval writer who has the honesty to speak the truth, touching the cause of the loss to Great Britain of her fine frigates. Hear his manly upon the heavy batteries before him, Carden said to Decatur, This is a seventy four, not a frigate; no wonder the day is yours This remark was founded upon the Neversink's (the frigate United States) superiority in guns. The Neversink's maindeck batteries then consisted, as now, of twenty four pounders; Macedonian's of only eighteens. In all, the Neversink numbered fifty four guns Macedonian and four hundred and fifty, the -nine and three' hundred men, a very great disparity, which united to the other circumstances of the action, (the insubordination of the English crew,) deprives the victory of all claims to glory, beyond those which might be set up for a river horse's getting the better of a seal." page 364.

Ont space is too small for further extracts, and we must close our somewhat lengthened remarks. We like 44 White Jacket" better than any of Mr. Melville's writings, because we sat down to read it under a different state of mind. It has impressed us with a higher opinion of him as a man, and we value him more as a writer. When his judgment becomes matured, for he is evidently a young man, he will prove an ornament to his native land, and be vorthy of that high reputation, which he has somewhat meretriciously obtained.

This book his been upon our table several days, and gourmand in light literature as we are, we scarcely have found time to finish it. The reader will naturally turn to No.7 Kings and Popes," -but will not find whal he seeks- -for it is simply an account of the ecclesiastical tend in Sardinia; and except by analogy, has no reference to Papal Aggression in Great Britain. "Lord Holland's Foreign Reminiscences" will be found entertaining, particularly if the reader has seen the crues cutting up this book receives at the hands of Oll Ebony." English Socialism it a fair account of the state of Communism in the British Islands: and No. 9.

One merit this magazine possesses should not be over-looked -all the articles are original and if not as well written as those in Blackwood, or the Dublin University Magazine, still they are not pilfered from the English periodicals, as is too much the custom with the getters up of monthly magazines on this continent. In Harper's' and also in the International," both avowed re-prints, this thing is excusable; but the "Knickerbocker" and other works of like pretensions, should be above the continual practice of plagiary.

WHITE JACKET, or the World in a Man of War. By Herman Melville, author of Typee, Omoo, Harper's 12mo Edition- pp. 466. Price 81. E.

W. Palmer, Kingston, Few modern writers of eminence have disappointed us more than Mr. Melville this is not so much his fault, as our own for hearing so much said in his praise by the literary world of Europe and America, we believed him to be another Washington Irving, and took up his Typee" and 0moo" with the same eagerness that thirty years ago, we snatched at a novel of Walter Scott's. Had we stumbled on the works of our author with the same careless indifference with which Dana's Two Years before the Mast" first fell into our hands, we might have paid them that deference which their merits deserve but being greatly over ratel and much over praised, (in our estimation,) we rose from their perusal soured, annoyed and disappoin- ted. This accounts for White Jacket," Mr.

Melville's latest publication, although more than a year before the public, not having excited our curiosity to read it, until Saturday last, when Mr. Palmer, the Bookseller, kindly placed it at our disposal. That Mr. Melville has been a common sailor, a very common sailor, the text of all his works clearly proves. That he is a man of strong common sense, good feeling, and possessed of much information, they also clearly make manifest.

But, that he is an educated man, despite his ceaseless quotations from dead and living writers, we very much doubt. There is a mystery about him -something of the George Borrow, which the reader would gladly solve though perhaps no two men are inore dissimilar than the Yankee Sailor and the Gipsy Philologist. Still there is a mystery, and in that consists half the notoriety of his books, and more than half their interest. White Jacket" is what its second title describes, the picture of life on board a manof- war, The writer ships at Valparaiso as an ordinary seaman (that is, a common sailor of the second class) on board the U.S. Frigate United States, (called in the book Neverwink) and makes in her the homeward voy.

age. He is upwards of a year on board of hor, and his observing eye and ready pen are busy at work during the whole of that period. The scenes he describes are highly characteristic, vastly descriptive, and greatly entertaining. All his pictures are graphic and all his characters are painted to the life. The abuses in the American Navy are pointed out, and the grossness of it: tyranny fully exposed.

The stupid Commodore, the brutal Captain, the ignorant Doctor, and the obsequious Master-at-arms, cum multis alis, all fare alike, and if the incidents pourtrayed are facts, and they bear an air of truthfulness about them, these officers richly deserve the impaling they receive. Or.e part of the book is written with much spirit and zeal, that which treats of corporeal punishment. Mr. Melville shews it to be cruel, wanton, unnecessary, and worse than useless; and it is a happiness for him to know, that since the publication of White Jacket," the United States Legislature has abolished that species of unmanly torture throughout the Naval and Mercantile Services. Should the same practice be discontinued in the British Navy, and discontinued soon it mast be, it the British Fleet expect to be manned without impress.

ment, Mr. Melville will have the grand satisfaction of feeling, that he has achieved more for his fellow man, than any other human being being since the days of John Howard. To have abolished Flogging" is more than Nelson and Collingwood dare I to do, though they both wished it done We hinted a doubt as to Mr. Melville, who certainly writes with the air and case of an Oxonian, being a man of education. Although his syntax and prosody are generally still he occasionally makes queer confusion with the words lying" and laying." These may be printer's errors, and so far he is excusable.

But in the following extract, no such excuse can avail him. "There happened to be a lord on board of this sbip- -the younger son of an earl, they told me. He was a fine looking fellow. chanced to stand by when he put a question crowded on the occasion. On the 28th, banquet was given him in the Hall of Commerce, Sir Elward Butwer Lytton in the Chair.

Six hundred persons were present. AMERICAN HOSTILITY. A fierce spirit of hostility against the Mother Country still exists in the people of the United States, if we may judge by the newspapers. What the United States Government does is ever right -what the Government of Great Britain does is ever wrong.Thus the province of Texas was bodily taken from the Mexicans; and then the United States, a strong nation, liking the robbery, made war upon Mexico, a weak country, to obtain a larger slice of the plundered the N. Y.

Sun upon a small matter. MORE BRITISH AGGRES ION. time ago we gave an account of the seizure by British of the valuable island of Ruatan in the Gall of Honduras. When that seizure was made, in 1841, the British Superintendent at Belize, gave an assurance to the Government of Honduras, that the act was done without the authority of the Ilome Government, and that it was not the intention of England to hold posession of the island. Notwithstanding this the Island of Rnatan has, up to the present tine, been held by the Eng.

lieh, and the N. O. Picayune, of the 7th states upon authority, that a British Governor will be sent there, and a colonial form of government established! To cover th's audacious usurpation, the British Government has not recourse even to the ludicr00s pretext of a Musquito King" -the act stands forth a naked and unblishing robbery, perpetrated in violence and robbery, and in utter contempt of every law, human aud devine. The P.cayune, in summing up its statement, says: The English have now seized on every island along the Central American coast, from to Panama and when it is remembered that, in a distance of 1,500 miles. these islands, during the prevalence of the northers, furnish the only safe anchorage to be found, the importance of the movement will be the more minifest." VILLAGE OF GANANOQUE.

A Flour and Grist mill, a Saw mill, a Nail factory, and a Stave factory, owned by W. S. Macdonald, Esq. An improved Wheel Head and field Rake factory, owned by Mr. R.

Brough, in which every description of wood turning is executed. A Last and Shingle factory, owned by Mr. T. C. Hallowell.

A Pail factory, owned by Lawton Cu. A Tanning establishment, owned by Mr. Anchinvale. A Fulling and Carding Mill, carried on by Mr. Johnson.

An Oatincal Mill, owned by Mr. McMurtchy, and A Carriage factory, owned by Mr. G. Mitchell. The machinery used in most of the above factories is of the most modern invention, and is well calculated to throw into the market both good and cheap articles.

Gananoque contains a population of about 800, and the factories being fully employed, gives the place a really healthy appearance- a place of health" being, we believe, the signification of the Indian word "Gananoque." Indeed there is proof of the thriving character of the village from the fact that its population sustains an Oddfellows Lodge; a Division of the Sons of Temperance a Union of the Daughters of Temperance; a Section of Cadets; a Rechabite Tent, a Tent of the Daughters of Rechab being about to be established also. It possesses also a good inn, kept by Mr. Cross, formerly of Mr. Gillman's, Prescott. There is little doubt, now that there is so general a desire manifested of self dependence, but that Gananoque will progress, by adding to its inufactories, as we believe the proprietors are anxious to give every facility to such as may wish to take advantage of the locality for manufacturing purposes indeed any other course would tend to keep Gananoque in a stand -still position while a liberal course will not fail to attract the a'- tention of mechanics; and it will, at the same time, add to the value of the surrounding lle Recorder.

ANOTHER ARCTIC EXPEDITION. The intense interest and anxiety felt in the safety of Sir John Franklin and the heroic crews of the Erebus and Terror -in particular the anxious solicitude of Lady Franklin -and, probably, the fact of the government reward of for the discovery of the missing voyagers being still obtainable -have led to the undertaking of another expedition, to sail fro this port. It will be remembered that the Prince Alberta trim and manageable little craft--arrived here in October last, after about three months' absence in the Polar seas. During the period she was in these northern regions, much, in the circumstances, was accomplished; traces of the missing expedition, the only distinct and unmistakeable ones that have ever been found, having been discovered. Circumstances, however, -and chiefly, perhaps, the state of the ice -prevented Commander Forsyth and his crew from fully accomplishing what had been intended in the way of search for Franklin and his associates.

An attempt, under hopeful auspices, is, however, to ba made this season to effect, if possible, a search In the same quarter and to the full extent as proposed last year. The Prince Albert will again be fitted out and manned, and will proceed to Prince Regent's Inlet, where the ship will be laid up in such safe and convenient harborage as can be found The party will then proceed in boats so far as can be reached by open water; they will cross the Isthmas of Boothia, and follow out their search as far to the westward as possible. Where boats cannot be worked, kyacks" will be used, which, with the assistance of the Esquimaux, will enable the party to proceed one or two hundred miles farther than baits could carry them, as the can be rolled up and dragged over the ice. It is proposed that the expedition shall remain out one season, and if the state of the weather and the ice be favorable, it is expected that a very extensive search will be effected. The Prince Albert, which has lain here all the, winter, will be got ready as soon as possible, and it is hoped she will be able to reach Lancaster, Sound by the middle of June.

The expedition will be under the command of Captain William Kennedy, who has come here from Aincrica for that purpose. Mr. Kennedy haa a very intimate acquaintance with the Aretic Region, hav.ng served for a considerable period in 1 the employ of the Hudson's Bay Company. He wintered eight years at Labrador, and Was the first European who explored the northernmost point of the icy coast. Captain Kennedy, who possesses inflexible determination, courage, and enthusiasm, 18 very hopeful of success.

He speaks highly of the courtesy and even affection everywhere shown him, and which tie sympathy felt, both in Anerica and this country, for the success of his noble object. his inspired. Ile proceeds to Orkney probably on Thursday (io-morrow). to engage landsmen for the expedition, those who have been in the service the lladson's Bay Company will be chosen. They wilbe twelve in aber and, with six able bodied seamen and the Commander, will complete the expedition, We heartily pray that they may succeed in their noble enterprise.

In connection with this subject we may insert the following extract of a letter from Mr. Grinnell, of New York, addressed to Mr. Snow, who was one of the crew of the Prince Albert last season, and which may prove interesting to those who have friends in the Aretic expedition at present out-' The Al' Leilan sailed yesterday, Feb. 6, from New London for Baffin's Bay. put on board of her quite five bushels of English and American papers, with Punch, Illustrated London News, fee.

Bethune, and Adamson, the Rector and Assistant Minister of Christ's Church Dr.

At the conclusion of the sermon, his Lordship took his seat at the north side of the Communion Table, when the candidates were presented to him by Dr. Bethune, acting as Archdeacon.

Montreal Courier. ARCHBISHOP HUGHES A CARDINAL.

-We understand that the elevation of Archbishop Hughes to be a member of the Sacred College Cardinals has not been officially or otherwise communicated to his clergy in this city, and that it is not to be regarded as a fact which has already taken place. It is, however, expected soon happen. The Archbishop will be the first Cardinal in America, and his nomination is not only an evidence of the respect paid by the Church to his character and services, but also of the rising importance of this country in the affairs of the Catholic Church. 'The title of Cardinal belonged originally to ti.e higher officers of State under the Roman Emperor Theodosius, who reigned in the IV century. Atterward, until the XIth, century, it was the attribute of priests in the Christian Church of whatever rank.

From that time the Popes formed from among the higher clergy a sort of privy council, and the title soon came to be their special property In 1160, under Alexander Ill the choosing of the Pope was made exclusively their office. Less than a century after, Innocent IV, gave them the precedence of the bishops and conferred the red hat upon them by way of outward mark of distinction. The right to wear the princely mantle was conferred on them by Boniface VIlI. at the beginning of the XIV Century and the title of Eminence by Urban VIII. in 1631.

In 1586 Sextus V. fixed their number at 70. They are divided into three classes, namely, Cardinal-bishops, Cardinal- presbyters, and Cardinal-deacons. 'Their duty is to assist by their advice in the Government of the Church, and also to preside over such branches and depart ments of the same as they may be appointed to. They also elect the Pope, always, of course, from their own number.

The appointment and promotion of Cardinals, depends altogether upon the Pope. The names of those he has chosen are read in the Consistery or asseinbled College, with the formula, Fratres Habebitis, and the elected are inforuned of it by receiving the red hat. We suppose that the creation of an American Cardinal will cause no excitement among the public at large. Every Church in our conatry has the right to confer on its clergy such -titles as it thinks advisable, and certainly there can never happen hers such a hubbub as has raged in England from the appointment of a cardinal and few bishops. Nu one will be in the slightest degree di-pused to object to the satisfaction which Catholics will feel at the well-deserved elevation of Dr.

Hughes to this dignity in their Choreh To be sure, there is something about the appellation of His Eminence" "or Elis Grace," which does not sound exactly republican, but, as no political pretensions are involved in them, there la no reason for any body to complain. Tuesday evening last, Mr. Dorainique Lambert de.
