» . Balmoral, pieces or ly of be lost after | pri ward. EAE Fas ie A wrifer in the London Society . gives an interesting account of the royal arsenal at Woolwich. It was the child of accident. The workmen . of the royal foundry at Moorfields were melting some' captared French cannon, when a Swiss-German officer named Schalch, standing by, pre dicted an explosion' from the dnp. ness of the moulds. Thé' sujerin: tendent. laughed at him, but the moulds were presently blown into minute fragments, the building de. stroyed; and several lives lost. The government sent for Schalch and asked him to select a site for a new fonndry, and' when he had selected Woolwich,and the building had been erccted, placed him in charge, and continued him in office for many Jears, 'The royal foundry of Schalch's time has become a royal arsenal, covering 800 acres of ground, em ploying 5,000 workmen, and supplied with power for its machinery by more than onebundred steam engines. The arsenal is divided into three departments--laboratory, gun, and carriage--with an officer of the.royal artillery at the head of each. The description of the processes in these several departments is very enter taining, but, from its nature, does not admit of condensation An im- mense supply cf the " munitions of war". is constantly kept on hand. One item, mentioned by our author, is 8,000,000 Armstrong shot. One of the most interesting parts of He works is the long iron sheds in which the material to be shipped off is stored." The labels gave one a new sense of the greatness of the English empire. A large tramway ruus from the shipping honse to the wharf, at which vessels of the largest size can lie at all stages of the tide. There are many curious trophies of the arsenal. Bronze guns from China, battered guns found on the Redan, a fish-sharped gun, once the property of the King of Delhi, Yankee guns, * swindles," our author calls them; old English guns, and a extremely interesting gun, which was cast by the Knights of Malta in 1607. It is 20 feet long, and has on one side an engraving of St. Michael mastering' Satan, and on tie other of St. Pau shaking off the viper from his hand, Notwithstanding the incalculable importance to England of this arsenal --the one at Portsmouth being a very insignificant affair--we are told that it is almost entirely defenceless. At Woolwich there is nut a 'single battery. Sheerness could easily be avoided by an énemy; and the works at Gravesend and Tilbury are not worth mentioning. In the words of the writer in Society, *" there is nothing whatever to prevent the enemy coming up the river Thames, with their small steel: plated steamel rs, and firing Wool wich, and then we should be in a pretty ess." ------ HALLOWE'EN AT BALMORAL. Her Majesty, who has before ex- pressed a wish to be present at a Hallowe'en. in the Higlilands, had the gratification of :eecing it on Wednesday night. For the benefit of our readers, we may mention that Hallowe'en in {he Highlands is rather an imposing - and interesting sight. Every farmer and cotler provides j himself with a "sounik" (fir torch,) and at cvery house a bonfire is erected on the night in question When twilight fades into darkness, these torclies are lighted as if by magic, and are carried round the farm and steading for the purpose, says the old legend, "of driving away " faries or witches for a twelvemonth" On Wednesday last, Her Majesty, who, in the afternoon liad taken tea in Mrs. Grant's house ' heard, as twilight departed, a shouting of men and boys, and immediately on being informed that the " sounibs" were lighted, went outside, and there saw the hills dotted with hundreds of toches blazing away, and moving to and fro. - lu the Balmoral policies alone there were over thirty"souniks' carried by gillies, keepers and ser- vants, Blue and red lights were shown from the tower of Balmoral. Her Majesty was highly delighted. with the whole scene, Driving down from Mrs. Grants in a carriage to accompanied by Princess Christian, Her Met went into the castle, but immediately came out again, evidently bent on enjo ying the sight of the torches. The ladies and gentlemen of the Court were highly gratified by the strange scene. Mr Begg had a grand bonfire on the top of Tom Beg, and had his servants armed with * souniks," high had an imposing appearance, Other bonfires oe erected in other parts-of the * district, and the whole affair, .not- withstanding 8 day of pouring rain, was most successful. Before the 'sounike'were burned vp;the keepers, servants (with their ian and chil- dren,) who carried them, together neat the Castle and made one grandg blaze by throwing them into a hea, The health of Her Majesty and Royal family were Soe rors Proposed 3 and drank with real en and roaring cheers. A bull was ress given jug the iron ballroom, and dancin, carried on till a late. hour.-- Herald, . Sav "YOUR Do Breap,--Every WOOLWICH ARSENAL, A MENAGERIE OF DRUNKARDS, The' most foolish man. can get into is get dr In drunkenness every man shows strongest side, and most ardent pns- sion. There ave six, kinds of drunk- ards, and if yon will. go into a city drinking place where there are a dozen men under the influence of liquor you_will be sure to find these six:different characters, representing different animals: The first is ape drunk, Ile leaps, and 'sings, and yells, and dances, making all sorts of grimaces and catting up all sorts of "monkey- shines" to excite the laughter of his fellows!" Oh, terribly silly is the drunken clown. The second is tiger-drunk. _ He breaks the bottles, breaks the cliairs, breaks the hegds of fellow carousers, and is foll of blood and thunder, His eyes are fired with vengence; and his soul raves with murderous fory, Of this sort are those who abuse their families. The third is hog-drunk, He rolls in the dirt on the floor, slobbers and grunts, and, going into the strect, makes his bed in the first ditch or filthy corner he may bappen to fall into, He is heavy, lampish and sleepy, and cries in a grunting way for a little more drink. The fourth is puppy-drunk. He will weep for kindness, and whine his love and hing you in his arms, and kiss you with his slobbery lips and proclaim how much he loves you. You sre the best man he cver saw, and he will lay down his money or his life for you The fifth is owl-drunk. He is wise in his own conceit. No man must differ with him for his word is law. He is trne in politics, and all matter must be taken as authority. His arm is the strongest, his voice the sweetest, his horse the fleetest, his turnips the largest," his town the finest of all in the room or lund, The sixth and last animal of our menageric is the fox-drunk man. He is crafty, ready to trade horses and cheat you if he can. Keen to strike a bargain, leering around with low cunning,peeking through cracks, listening ander the eaves, watching for some suspicious thing, sly as a fox, sneaking as a wolf, he is the meanest drunkard of them all. redicament 2 Coyscience.--Lord Erskine = was distinguished through life for inde- pendence of principles; for his scra- pulous adherance to truth. He once explained the rules of his conduct, which ought to be deeply engraven on every heart. He said: 'It was a first command aod council of my earliest youth to do what my con- science told me to be a duty, and leave the consequences to God. I shall carry with me the memory and I trust the practice of this paternal lesson to the grave. I have hitherto followed it, and have no reason to complain that my obedience to it, bas been a temporal sacrifice. 1 have found it, on the contrary, the road to 'prosperity and wealth; and F shall point out the'same path to my children for their pursuit.' Ow Mams.--A sprightly writer expresses his opinion of old [maids ine the following manner:--'I am inclined to think that many of the eatirical aspersions cast upon old maids tell.more to their credit than is generally imagined, Is a woman remarkably neat in- her persen 7-- 'She will certainly be an old maid.' Is she particolarly reserved towards the 'other sex -- She has all the squeamishness of 'an 'old' maid.' Is she frugal in her expenses and exact in her domestic concerns 7-- ' She is cut out for an old maid. And if 'she is kindly, humane to the animals about her, nothing gan save her from the appelation of an 'old maid.! In short, IT bave always foand that neatness, modesty, economy, and humanity, are the never failing characteristics of that terrible creature--an ' old maid.' Axcer--Never get angry. it docs no good. ' Some sins have a seeming compensation or apology, a present gratification of some sort; but anger has none' A man feels no better for it. It is really a torment, and when the storm of passion has "cleared. it leaves one to see that he has been a fool in the eyes of others too, A passionate man adds nothing to the welfare of society. Ho may do some good but more hurt. Heated pas- sions make him a fire-brasd and it is a wonder if he does not kindle flames of discord on every hand. Without much sensibility, and often void of reason, he speaks like the piercing of a eword; and his tongue is an ar- row shot out, and found only *'in the bosom of fools," Why should it be indulged inatall ?
