1t810.] List of New Publications, 461

Of ams A merican Shrub whose berries yield a permanent ink, from a description given by Mr. YFrgas.

Annais of Botany, No. 2. In the same part of America where

the arrhacacha is found, and indeed on the same elevated parts around Santafe, a shrub is met with called Ubillo, in babit much like the haw- thorn, bearing innumerable small black be: ries, the expressed juice of which, without any preparation y Selds a permanent iiik. At first before it is dry, the ink is of a pale red colour, but changes to a bright black as soon as it is exposed to the air. On staining one's hands, or any other part with it, several days are re- quired to remove the spot. The only thing you cal do is to washt the part with lemon juice, which con- verts the black into a rose colour. The juice of the Ubillo may be in- spissaeed, and afterwards reduced to a powder: this is easily portable;

and to make ink extempore, it is only necessary to dissolve a small portion of it in water.

Observations...lt is probable that this plant also might be brought to thrive in this country, as well as that mentioned in the last article.

MONTHLY RETROSPECT OF POLITIUC.

T is difficult in a monthly review of political events to diversify t he man-

ner of narration so as not to run into a sameness of language, as the events of one month are so much in corres- pondence similar to those of the pre- ceding, and the progress of the hutnan mind is seldom so rapid, as in t(he course of one month to present fea- tures essentially diffet-ent. At some periods no visible alterations striking- ly appear for a long time; even at present the progress is not very rapid, for although the people are graduaily awakening from their dream of terrors, into which they were driven by Pitt and his fbllowers, and the incubus of Jacobinismi is loositng its hold on the terrified imaginations of many, yet still like people newly awaked, but not yet arisen, the energy of health- ful vigour rousing all the faculties of the mind to virtuous exertions, is u ant- ing. In England public nietings have been held in many places, and strong resblutiotis passed against corruptiot., and in favour of reform, and especially against the power of the house of commons to imiprison without a trial, which in case of that house being at any time leagued with a corrupt and wicked ministry might be made a po tent engine of oppression against the liberties of the people. Peiitions on these subjects have been presented fromt several places to tih house

of commons, some of which were suffered to be laid on the table, and others not materially different , ere rejected. As a specimen of the spirit of the times, and as a record of pass- ing events, a few of the resolutions are placed among the documents, but it would occupy too much space to give the whole. It affords a subject if national lhumiliation to find that not

a single petition has been presented from Ireland. 1 o what cause is this self- degradation attributable? whether to deficient energy after a too high state of excitement, or to acombination of apathy ant selfishness which threat- en the extinction ot pIblic virtue ?

NM r. Brand's notion for a commitee to conWider of the present defective state of the representation of the people was ne- gatived by a large majority, while an attempt was made to save character and hold out compensation to the people, and a show of economical re- foml by a motion being carrie'd, iti which the minister was left in. a mi- nority, for, the abolition of sinecure places. Ampid the cart loads of abusesc a lew shovel fulls nmore or less, are of little importance. A radical and elf'ctual check to corruption, throughl a re-novated house of

comllmol0ns cant

alone serve us. Pitt, before his coming into pon er, asserted tliat no virtuous minister could long serve his country, while the representation continued as
