LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPT. 29. LITERARY CRITICISM. IT has las-n repeatedly asked whether eritiei , in is a Is•netit to literature. Does a whole:mile fear of the reviewers stimulate. men of g-nius, un the one hand. and, on the other haul, dis courage the' puny efforts of feeble %%Titers . 7 Are reade:s better for the critics ; are authors under an obligatiem to them These que-stions are often put. ailel it they cannot be answered in the affir mative. the vocation of the critic is worse than used. -s, aml. as an honest man, he had bet! , ,.: re nounce it tor a more [valourAle may whd,.r , . at the outset, that the write is w 1.., el, criticism have some 1...A -rt.l'lo.h t-i , .unds of obj..etion to the art. TM•y affirm that it is too oft. .n rant. j•tejudiceei ; and they point to a numter of cases in which the rash a-eserthni a the reviewer Las been upset ley the juelgiu. , :et of poster,ey. Everylx.dy with a turn for liter.itare will re member a score of foolish criticism., some of which are no doubt ludicrous enough. It may be remembered too, that a few of the finest critic.; England has produced have expressed their dis belief in the worth of the labour in which they Lave en in. ntly excelled. Thus Mr. GEotteir. Lt.wEs, who has himself been " actively " ungag• din criticism for upwards of a quarter of " a «itury," Las declared that the good effected by criticism is small and the evil incalculable, while SOUTIIEY even went so far as to regard it as an immoral occupation, unless the reviewer has " as much knowledge of the given subject as the •• author upon whom he undertakes to sit in julg " went." We readily grant that in literature, as in life, insincerity and incapacity are the sources of un numbered a vil , . The stupid critic and the dis honest critic do no doubt inflict consideruld injury. The flippancy of hasty reviewers is pro voking enough. It is hard for a write r who ha, spent month-, or perhaps years WI Millie Weighty SlibieC , to have his book " damned with faint praise :. fr. contemptuously dismissed in a paragraph whieb shows that the reviewer has not even taken the trouble to comprehend the purpose of the work. It is hard again, and indeed to n sensitive nature, irritating beyond measure, to have the child of one's bruin used Inertly as the peg for a critic's remarks, und it is even harder still to find that in making these remarks he has extracted the cream of the work which he scarcely deigns to notice. Agin'', it is said that the fear of criticism re views.; originality, but there is not much force in this state inent. What great writer was ever yet laughed clown % What great work ever suffered 111011 , than a temporary eclipse On the contrary, it must be owned, and this no doubt is to the dis credit of a certain class of reviewers, that a weak and evert an immoral hook may be puffed into tem porary notoriety. But in the main, and in a land where men are accustomed to speak their minds freely, the criticism of un author, like the criticism of a government, exerts a wholesome influence. The political critic gives his views of a statesman policy, the literary critic pmnouneca his judg ment on a book, and in so doing both, if honest and able men, will merit the attention cif the public. They will not be always right, they may Kenn-times be conspicuously wrong in their judgements; nevertheless, the frees: expression of their opinions enables the reader of new books and the man interested in public affairs to arrive at a sound conclusion. There are critics and critics won who act the part of literary tasters for the public, and men who write in the belief that criti cism is u seience, and not a matter of sentiment and feeling. Literature, like Nature, is governed by certain laws, which even the greatest writer cannot neglect with impunity. Within the range of thew! laws there is ample sperm for the most brilliant genius, who will find that a wholesome measure of restraint is of infinite service in reliev ing him from what WORDSWORTH calls " the weight "of too much liberty." Criticism of the highest order affects literature by oxeroising this restrain ing influence upon authors, whereas criticism of a lower stamp is mainly serviceable to readers. Men engaged in business and women who read chiefly for salient need some thread to guide them through the intrioate maces of modern literature. This thread is supplied to them by the reviewer. Two thousand now books are published annually in England alone, and it is raid that a fresh novel appears almost daily. W e do not believe the assertion recently made in a well-known journal that with one or two excep tions dead authors are rarely read, but there can be no question that among non-literary people the latest author has always the best chanoo of popularity. Mon and women who never looked into RuniARDOON or FIELDING are familiar with Miss Baannox ; there are a thousand readers of Mr. TENNYSON'S poetry to ODD reader of " Paradise Lost" or the " Rape of " the Lock" ; no doubt oven Sir WALTER Soon has been thrust a little on one side by 01ORGE Et.toT and Mr. DICKENS, and no doubt there are a score of living eaeayista who, without possessing a tenth part of Anmeoe's ability, are a thousand times more popular. All this is natural enough, and the moat pas sionate admirer of old literature will aooept it as inevitable. The book of the hour, like the daily newspaper, has a claim upon the attention which the old book and the old journal cannot possibly poeree.s. But amidst the plethora of literary wealth that surrounds us, it is no small help to ascertain the aim and style of a work before we road it. The reviewer who knows his business will not be tuithdied with vague comments on a book, but will give an analysis of its contents. Ile will ro ue wlx•r the Found advice of Pore le every wet': reliant the writer's end, Sirs,' few can compass more than they intend. He will give a reason for his praise as well as for his blame, and ho will put the reader in the posi tion to form a correct judgment. Moreover, if he does his work carelessly or with prejudice , his judgment is sure to be counteracted by nnother criticism, and the reader of average intelligence is generally able to take the measure of the two. Thus the very difference of opinion displayed by critics is in itself an advantage. 'letter for the public and for literature that there should be " free trade" in criticism than that any one journal should be all powerful to approve or to condemn.

Q UEEN ISABELLA AND HER FRIENDS. Sin GEonos Boirma, as the standing defender of ultraniontane Catholicism, is naturally con- Tned for the prospects of the Queen of SPAIN ; but there are others who move his s)ruptithy still more. When the supposed interests of his church are at stake, the honourable baronet Las a Quixotic passion for the unpopular. and the more intense the odium in which a Churchman is held, the more ex travagant Sir GEOIWE BowvEn's affection. The prisons of Naples were abodes of light, and King Fusxcis the meekest of saints. There are two individuals at this moment to whom the ruin of Qm 4 n I,ALELLA is tsiissially due, the woman culled Sister ParnociNto and naisignor CLARET, the royal confessor. Both are loathed by educated Spaniards, and both stand high in Sir GEomiE BowvEn's regard. "In the first place," he tells us, •• Sister Psmoctsuo is not a bleeding nun," a somewhat superlative assurance for Protes tant readers. She was convicted of lending herself to an imposture, and sentenced to a period of penal confinement in a reli gious house. She is " now a very devout " and exemplary nun in the convent of Aranjues." This convent is a royal foundation, and the GtrEEN " naturally visits that house, and occa " sionally secs Sister Rtiiinctmo. But Mister PATRocixul has not the slightest influence in " any political matter, and she is a person in " capable of understanding anything of the sort. " She is entirely confined to her devotions and " her conventual life. She knows nothing what " ever of the external world, and has not an idea " beyond her prayers anti her ascetic life." As to the QUEEN'S confessor, he is only legs of a saint than the QrEEN herself. " His " whole life is devoted to charity and piety. " He is universally venerated as a most devout " and pract ieal Christian. Hi is the QUEEN'S con " feskor. But as for politics, he knows nothing " shoot it. He is simply a very pious, simple " minded clergyman, without any idea beyond " the functions and duties of his sacred office." It will be lung, we hope, before this sort of piety finds favour here. The system which has Queen Ism:ELLA, Sister PATROCINIO and Father CLARET for its models has nothing in common with Eng lish Was. A c tillOl7M paragraph which was in circulation day or two ago, iviserted that Pope PII'S IX. is a freemason. It is now said that the Emperor NAPOLEON is a canon of St. John of lAteran. A corresponilent of the Si ede Inters into some historical details respecting an old custom by which the Emperor of GERMANY was canon of Mt. Peter's at Rome, the King of FRANM Canon of the• Church of St. Martin at Tours, the Dukes of BERRY the Canons of St. John at Lyons, and so on. BoNlv.tca 111., it is when in pressing need of money, sold the title of canon to laymen, and laical canonries were a long time hereditary. The Sie:de amuses itself by supposing the Emperor of the Fatoseu to claim the office of canon, and in virtue of it to be present at the approaching (Ecumenical Council, " in which C 11.40 lie must put on the surplice, and " dress himself with the canon's moss and " mozette. The right of canons to be present at " the council was recognised by the fourth council "of Carthage, held in the year 393. Thus are " we progressing towards the separation of the " spiritual from the temporal !" Early in thm present month Mr. R. N. Fowler, the treasurer of the Aborigines Protection Society, for warded a i'u mortal to the Prime Minister, offering some observations on the cession to Canada of the Hudson's Bay Company'■ territory. It pointed out the duty as well as the expediency of extinguishing the native titles on equitable principles. Without distrusting the good faith of the statesmen or the people of Canada, and without asking Mr. Danish' to take any fanciful or philanthropic view of the matter, the memorial suggested that, in transferring the ceded territories, stipulations should be made for th peaceful extinction of the native titles, and for within apart a reserve for the civilisatbm of Rupert's Land. In acknowledging the receipt of the document, Mr. Disraeli promisee that he will not fail to give the subject his OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (MB DAY.) ma SPILI/11113 Our contemporaries this morning regard the latest news received from Spain as very unfavourable ti the royal muse. It is evident that the insurrection is ex tending in every part of the country, and that nowhere luive the Queen's general. as yet gained any denials° ad vantage. The limn looks upon the defection of the navy es a remarkable and most important event. This ir, indeed, the heaviest blow to the royal cause, since it takes away from the government and gives to the insurgent' the power of communicating by sea with foreign countries, and obtaining arms and storm for civil war. The strife certainly seems ominous of ruin for tho government and system that have lately obtained in Spain ; but between the overthrow of the government and the dethronement of the dynasty theirs is a long stop, and Queen Isabella has still a chance of retrieving her position. The Lady Aews remarks upon the absence of revolu tionary fervour amongst the people, and, in view of that f set, considers the future course of the insurrection to be doubtful. The probability is, however, that the people are waiting for a victory by the revolutionary generals. and when that has been achieved the whole nation may spring to its feet, and the revolution be accomplished at once. The dynastic possibilities of the situation, however, constitute ono of its difficulties. I'he moviment is anti-dynastic or nothing, and it must end eithir un the victory of the Queen herself, or in the over throw of her dynasty. As to the question of successorallip, it is scarcely likely that Spain will bo willing to change one lloulbou tor another; nor is it probable that a republic lw+d en 1111iTOMI suffrage will be ottablished ; but, if the moor meld spread, a republic might at least be atternpVl in the difficulty of finding a new occupant for a revolu tionary throne. COUNT WALERVII. The . Morning Posts estimate of the late (leant Walewrki is that he was one of the very oldest ministers of the Emperor Napoleon, and one of the most faithful i•uppoi ten of his dynasty.

The new Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, Mr. Aldcimnu Cotton and Mr. Hutton, were yesterday sworn in at Guildhall. The speeches at the inaugural breakfast which followed the ceremony were interesting from the political allusions which were made by one or two of the speakers. For instance, Mr. Alderman Cotton, in toasting_ _ . the Houma of Lurds and Commons, referred to the fact that the conservatives were fighting every possible seat, and expremed his opinion that they acted rightly in so doing. Mr. tioeehen, M.l'., in responding. rejoiced that the party now in power had weisted iu pawing a reform bill, for they were now, equally with the liberals, tle,imus that the new conatituencied nhould prove worthy of the extended hunt:Liao which had bun grunted by thu lature.

We are ablo to form a definite ides of the motives by wbioh the leaders of tho insurrno lion in Spain arc inspired and the objects at which they situ from the following important prods- nde. n 1/161101:1 at Cadiz : Sisniarda! The town of Cadiz, under arms with the whole province, with the navy anchored in this port and the cutire maritime department of the Greece, solemnly decisive that it refuses obedience to the government es tablished at Madrid. Assures/. that it is the faithful in- terpreter of all citizens who have not loot every sentiment of dignity, it is resolved not to lay down its arms until the nation, having recovered its sovereignty, has manifested its will and carried it into elk ot. Is there any Spaniard so indifferent to the misery of his country as to; demand the amass for this great event P If we were to make a thorough examination of our sufferings, it would be more difficult to justify, to the eyes of the world and of history, the oalmnees with which we have endured them than our firm determine tints at last to escape from them. Let each reflect sad you will all take up arms. The fundamental law trodden under foot, used rather for espionage than the defence of the country ; the suffrage corrupted by menace and subornation; individual right depending no longer on common law, but on the irresponsible will of tiny alit city ; the municipalities , dissolved ; the admini otoition and the finances gorged with immorality and pithy, y ; public education marked by tyranny ; the press dumb, and the univenal silence interrupted only by frequent intelligence of new fortunes acquired, of new cndels, of new jobs, of new royal orders which &s -hawl the public treasury; the titles of Castile no fo•rlisbly leveled, end the high price, moreover, at which they are abeam& the ruin of disorder and of vioe--such is Spain et the pri , ront time. Spaniards! who shall dam to ray that that must always be the Case! No ; it shall not be : there are enough 'scandals ! • there walls, always faithful to our liberty and our isdepoidence, setting aside every party interest and de voting oun-elvos solely to the public welfare, we call upon all of you to diem in the glory of realisation. Our heroic navy, which hie always remained a stranger to our internal dimensions, by first railing the cry of alarm jiroven very clearly that it re not a party that complains, but that these murmurs proceed from the very heart of the country. We do not tenth merely to confine ourselves to this political field ; our enterprise is grander and more simple : we fight for existence and honour. We wish that a common legality created for all may secure the respect of all ; we wish that he who is charged to maintain end to defend the con dans:ion may not be its irrersoncilable enemy. Wu wish the PUMA which operate in the most important revolutions to he such cut may be repeated aloud is fore our mother's, our wives, and our daughters. We wish to live a life of honour and liberty. We desire that a provisional government which will represent all per time of the country may secure order, and that universal suffrage may lay the foundationsof our social and political regsneratien. We reckon, for the realisation of our ins mos alde resolution, on the concurrence of all the liberals, unanimous end eistepai t in the plasm:A of danger, and en the support of the middle classes, who dos not wish the fruit of their labours to enrich the late, minable sissies of jobbers and of favourites ; on the friends of order, if they wi►h to see it established on the bases of morality and of right ; ea the ardent partisans of individual libertine, which we shall place under the pioteesion of the law ; on the support of the minis ters of the altar, interested above all in drying up at their fountain the enures of Tice and of bad este. ule ; on the people as a whole, and on the approbation of eLtire Europe; for it is impost:lde that in the councils of nations it can he decreed that Spain most live degraded. We cast hack the names that our snoods already give ua Rebels WV they who, in whatever position they are placed, violate all the laws ; and faithful servants of the country are they who, in spite of all possible inconeeniences, render to her the respect which has been lost. Spanisnial all rush to arms—the only mea,uof avoiding the shedding of blod. and do not forgot that in the circumstances in which populations can gm ern themselves they leave all their instincts and all their qualities written in indelible characters in history. Be, se you always have been. brave and generous. The only hope of our enemies lies in the excesses in 'shish they would desire to see us plunged. Let us disappoint them from the first by manifesting in our conduct that we shall always he worthy of the l.hs•rty of which we Lave been so iniquitously deprived. Rush to arms, not under the impulse of hatred—always wieked ; not with passion—always feeble, but indeed with the olsmn serenity with which justice relies on its sword.

The Portuguese government has taken the neoss sary measures to maintain a strict neutrality. Troops are being sent to the frontiers to disarm all persona who seek a refuge in Portuguese territory. The Prince Royal of Brussels, whose life was despaired of the other day, is said to havo shown unexpected symptoms of improvement ; and the physicians are now not without hope of saving the young heir to the Belgian throne. The COM tittstionnel contains a long and studied article on M. ()tarot's paper, which appoarod in the Reran des Devi Atomics, and of which I forwarded to you an analysis. The paper, while calling upon France to put her .a my on a peace footing as the sere,t . . mums of proving her pacific tendencies, leant very favourably tow•ardN the Eiti peror and him government. Th.s, gar• offence to the whole of the liberal and demo cratic press. Now there appear,' in the Cfmatifutiothrl of this morning s long and ela borate commentary on this same article of M. GuiLot.'s--'• France and Prussia responsible before Europe." Thu writer in the semi-ofli•;41 organ welcomes the production of M. Guizot as that of a friend, and where exception is 1114.10 to certain principles and a given line of politics on the part of the French government, unusual pains are taken to convince M. Guizot awl the ninny of his readtrs who will think with him. that re. real ground of censure exists. In the mean time a report gets about that the French govern ment is prepm-Mg a pacific manifestation, and that they are TIOW eonsideritez the proprie•.y of a , :ting. upon M. Guizot's ad lee, and sending to their 14,ines 40,0410 soldi.rs. This rumour is st.mtly di ni• d by the i'resse, which journal is curiously enough quoted by the conAtitutionnel, without raying, a word as to the truth or falsehood of the report in question. The conclusion of the official journal's remarks may be taken as S'llll - significant The loyal intentions of tho g.,vornment ; its p dicy. which Las I,ut ceased to become more Ids.: al at home sad has never sought conquests abroad; the just estimation of the power which it draws from the support of the nation, everything, in fact, which cuahles it to bcar without flinching the CCElM.itisiel attacks of ► systcinst:c 9 position, induce it to receive with welcome, and even to Fmk the observations of eminent men who still regret the past without clieriAling its rancour,. and its hatred..: and this is the reason why productions similar to that of Y. whether his conclusions be admitted or not. are received, even by those whJua he ctitacisos, with well merited interest. It would be not a little curious if a contributed l eap er to a magazine should turn out to have hal so much weight with the imperial mind as to 1.. a to a pacific demon•trati.in the character of which there could be no possilde ro.ita to doubt. and which, beyond all question, would exert an im mense influent* in the way of maintaining the tranquility of Europe. Count Walewski died lost night at F;tri.slatrg from an attack of apoplexy. Thu: one after another the wen who have most contributed to tle• foundation and stremzth of the second empire are tarried away. Like M. de Monty and M. Foabl. Count Walcwski belonged to that little cirelo of statesmen who have always been looked upon a,. the choice,t councillors of the Emperor. and to whom. whether holding a portfolio or not, pablic opinion always attributed a great share in in fluencing the direction of affairs. Like tho., statesmen, WO, the count has disappeared unex pectedly front the political scene where he played a very considerable character.
