JER USALEM AGAIN LOST. The modern English RI cn LIEU, Metternich's disci pie ABERDEEN, 11:1(1 that pink of nineteenth-century- Christianity, Mr. P CEL, begin to tremble at the bad odour into which their immortal names are gradually sinking, from John o' Groat's to Lizard Point. Richelieu has ma uteuvered himself into a position in !foreign policy from which good fortune appears disnclined to extri cate her favourite,—like a limed bird, the more he titters the firmer he is entangled; while his contempo raries survey his predicament with mockery and scorn ; or like a child with a watch—he has first been allured with the brightness of the toy, then delighted with its ticking—next opened it ; and, prying amongst works the innocent has no brains to comprehend, he has poked his finger in amongst the machinery—checking this movement here, displacing that wheel there—till, the whole principle damaged, he sits confused and guilty, trembling in apprehension of the rod. The Austro-Ca ledonian, in consternation at the face of things, begins to doubt his oracle : the sour-krout turns upon his stomach ; and he asks himself at last whether he has been damning himself for nothing? The dilemna of of his master, and the puzzling state of Europe, have shaken his faith in Machiavel and feudal government. He has been assisting the Grand Conjuror tb invoke a storm which he would now give the world to appease. On every side he hears it whistling at a distance, and he k thinking where he can bolt away for shelter. The Peer, in persFective whose motto is—creep to rise—suspects that he has been turning and turning, only to be turned off at last. He finds cant getting out of fashion; but fears he cannot change a confirmed habit as he can turn his coat. He trembles for his Peerage, when he thinks how rashly he has ventured beyond his depth, and almost out of sight of Land buoyed by two such sorry bladders, idly inflated and ready to crack. The place-hunters, Henchmen, and followers, who attend these great men, have some misgivings that they have hung their hats upon the wrong nails. Instead of security, they find they have been led like victims on a forlorn hope; and, like FA LSTA FF'S ragged gang, are placed "where they to be will be well pepperd." In this ugly state of things, our RICHELIEU, re membering the duty of a good General, has called a council of war, prudently to devise plans of retreat, when such a moment shall become necessary. With the clever sagacity that distinguishes him, he has conceived a pro ject of salvation which has met the approbation of all his colleagues, and is as follows : To offer themselves to his new Jewish Majesty, the King of Jerusalem, Baron Von ROTHSCHILD, banker and stock-jobber. To this erect, an overture, in their collective names has just been made to the great potentate. Bleu ELIEV proposes him self as G rand Vizier ; the Austro Caledonian to retain the management of foreign-affairs; and Mr. PEEL will sub mit to any thing, only to be made a Peer—no matter though his title be in Hebrew. To the above offer, his Most Jewish Majesty, it is said, has covenanted in con sideration of a handsome premium, and a stipulated per centage on their salaries,—prudently imposing, however, these slight conditions; Ist. That for the safety and well-being of his kingdom, he, (Richelieu,) upon no pre tence whatever, interferes with foreign politics, but that he, considering the excellent school in which he has been formed, will be suffered to manage such matters of do mestic government ashe pretends best to to understand-- the which, however, must be stated in writing, and attested on oath and before witnesses ; 2d. That he never attempts to speak in public; 3d. That he writes no letters on business of State ; 4th. That, for the sake of argument he shoots none but Christian subjects; and sth, That he keeps the Jewish fasts in sackcloth and ashes. To every article of which, rather than lose all place, our RICHELIEU has subscribed himself. With the Austro-Caledonian it is stipulated-Ist. That he shall cease all connexion and correspondence with his master at Vienna—unless for the purpose of negociating his MAJESTY'S loans to the Gothic Em peror : 2nd. That he shall cease to patronize Jesuits, however persuaded of their merits: 3rd. That he en courages none of the neighbouring Pachas or Princes in acts of usurpatiOn and blood, from motives of crooked policy or private friendship : 4th. That he shall erect no fortified castle and immure his MAJESTY'S subjects in donjon-keeps—that he shall impose no chains upon the same, or subject them to cornee, cuissage, and other feudal servitude, under pretext of their being his vassals : sth. That he shall conform to the age, and adopt senti ments and opinions becoming a minister at the head of a civilized people. Hard as the above conditions are, the Vienna disciple has accepted them all, in order, to escape, on any terms from the approaching mischief himself and METTERNICH have brought upon this de voted country. The conditions imposed on Mr. PEEL are as fol low :-Ist. That he, for the sake of GOD and man, shall, at no time set up for a lawgiver : 2nd. That he afflict not his MAJESTY'S people with systems of police : 3rd. That he shall not change his principles more than twice a year : 4th. '1 hat he shall abjure Christianity, and adapt his cant to the Jewish religion and people; and deserve his Peerage by honesty—not humbug. sth, That once a Peer, he shall bear in his arms a spinning jenny, to re strain him from aristocratic pride, and remind him of Here the copy of these conditions, with which our correspondent has furnished us is quite illigible : the worthy man, however, has acceded to all the articles, proposed by the Jerusalem Monarch, and has ordered a coronet, to be forthwith fashioned by Rex DELL and BRIDG ES, in anticipation of his high destiny. The slaves, satellites, and followers, of these great leaders, faithful from necessity, have also bound themselves, first, To be likewise circumcised; 2d, Not to defend their patrons in wickedness ; 3d, To discontinue all go-between pimp ing for newspapers ; 4th, To hold no more than three or four sinecures at a time ; sth, and particularly, after aiding their patrons in every abominable corruption, not to turn tail as usual, and sell them at last. The news of these intended appointments have spread from synagogue to synagogue like wild-fire; and the He brews, in consternation and despair, wail over the second fate o! Jerusalem. The people of England, how ever, hail the departure of their rulers with transports of joy ; and vow that Millennium will have arrived, the day we behold their backs, and exclaim—.' A good journey to you, Gentlemen." •• • • The Austrian Observer of the 16th instant, contains a letter from Constantinople, dated the 25th, on which day the Treaty of Adrianople had not been ratified. The communication of our Vienna contemporary contains but little information, except an account of the riot at Aleppo, in which an agent sent by the Porte to accele rate the payment of the arrears of taxes, was beaten to death by the mob. The Governor of the place, Ali Bey, supported by the inhabitants, got the better of the mob by bringing a few pieces of artillery to bear in them THE GEM. The Anguat. pubUshed by MammaLt., entitled the Gem, is now lying before us; and a more exquisite specimen of Btitish taste we have net beheld. However foreigners may dispute our progress iu the Fine Arts, or deny our genius with the brush or chissel, our superiority with the grater is patent, and mocks all competition. France, formerly, was our school of the art ; and there our young . .. engravers were sent to form their taste and perfect their hands. But the Revolution and the military furor of Buonaparte arrested its improvement with our neighbours; while, on the contra:y, we have sedulously encouraged it, until success has left us without a rival The engravings of English artists are now sought after on the continent with as much avidity as we seek for paintings in Itsly and the Netherlands ; and we have often been gratified with the extacy—and sometimes jealousy—with which foreign artists have contemplated these works of art produced by the barbarians of the Thames. In the little work before us there ate Miriam of these jewels, executed with a finish and force that do the highest honour to the country, and beggars every thing of the kind the. rest of Europe can produce. They are as follow : Ist. Rose Malcolm, engraved by C. Rants, from a painting by A. Coors, R.A. in the pos session of It. Voaroo, Fag. 2d. Saturday :fight, engraved by G. Minoru, from a painting by D. Wo.rot, in the possession of Lord MOLGILAVI. 3d. The Infant Bacchus brought to the Nymphs by G. C. F:ovra.tos, from a painting by H. HOWARD, ILA.; the possession of STEPHEN PEACOCK, Esq. _ 4th. The Coquette—engraved by Huatrumea, from a Painting by A. E. Owen', R.A. In that gentleman's possession. sth. The Om Belie—engraved by A. Duncan, from a Painting of C. It. Last's, R.A. in that gentleman's possession. 6th. The Ruins o f Monto— engraved by W. R. Sierra, from a drawing by G. MARTIN, in the possession of the publisher. 7th. Verona—engraved by W. J. Coons, from a drawing by the late .1. P. BONIONOTON, in the pa session of Boys, El. lith. The Halt on the March—en graved by W. Gunorsacux, from a Painting by .1. EDXONSTONR, in that gentleman's possession. 9th. The Stolen Interview — engraved by H. Suwon, from a Painting by J. P. Saw rummers, in the possession of STRYKER Pzacocx, Esq. 10th. Tyre--engraved by S. LACY, from a Painting by T. Cass mac, in that gentleman's possession. Ilth. The Manustukes—en. graved by A. D. WARM, from a Painting by A. Comma, It A. in the possession of Wasson TAYLOR. Esq. 12th. Vignette—drawn by H. COSIOULD, engraved by T. S. EmuzzzalT. Of these all we have to say is that they are exquisitely beautiful. The Rose Mal colm in the frontispiece is finely conceived, and engraved with a skill which produces the entire effect of canvas and colour : the minutest objects and expression of face and figure being given with the most enchanting fidelity. The Stolen Interview sparkles with spirit ; the Soldier's Hall is equally beautiful—a Madonna of Liman. seems to have furnished the painter with the idea of the soldier's wife ; Verona appears like the living reality; and as for the Gypsy—we are quite in love with her : in fine, they are all ad rnirable. Although we regret that these brilliant specimens of the Fine Arts are not rather bestowed upon the standard works of the country, we recognise much Infinite merit in the fugitive produc tions they are at present made to illustrate. The Gctss has a sen sible well-written preface, which shows that the Roma has powers of writing and thinking of greater depth than we could expect to find In a book of this description. In the body of the work, the picture of ecclesiastical poverty in the " Mining Curate" is drawn with a masterly, hand that might produce feeling reflection—even in a Manor. It is as follows : FROM THE MINING CURATE. Tale: by Joust CAILMZ, ESQ. " He was oftener to be seen of an evening seated in the little window-seat overlooking the road; and there he feasted his eyes on the joyous groups that returned from the market of the neigh bouring town, where they had ate and drank, and were now re turning, in the fulness of their heart., to a comfortable home—to their own warm hearth. And then a knot of farmers would jog merrily by, talking, in loud voices, of the current prices, the coming harvest, and of their own well-stored barns and yards. ' And why should so great a gulf be fixed between the pastor and his flock ?'— was a question he might well ask himself. Even when twilight had spread its dimness over dwelling and path, the form of the curate might still be seen seated there : for candle-light was spared with Infinite care and skill within the walls; and not until the middle of November was any fire allowed. So he loved to linger over the last gleam of light rather than turn to the void of his cheerless habitation. To defend hirnself from tbe increasing cold he used to put on his ancient and rusty great-coat, and fold it tightly round him. The want of light was supplied from the public-house, which was directly opposite, and only a few yards distant ; for the rooms being as usual profusely lighted, a partial glare was received from them through the windows of the Curate's apartments. But this was more to his annoyance than to his comfort. Much has been said of the torments of Tantalus; but as much, and with equal jus tice, might be said of the sufferings of this thirsty, poor, and much deserving man, who sat, from hour to hour, in a partial gloom, in which all the senses are more vividly awake, listening to the ringing of glasses, and the calls continually repeated, for more supplies of some refreshing beverage—of new and old ale—and even wine. Oft did be retire to rest with a spirit tried to the very core. Alas ! it needs not a guilty conscience to embitter life : salt tears will stream down blameles s cheeks." We are also much struck with the following passage by the Southampton Peasant—Oran : BOSTON CHURCH. " Majestic pile ! thy rich and splendid tow'r, O'erlooks the Ocean with aspiring pride, Uaring the insults rude of wind and show'r, And greeting time with presence dignified : Firm u a rock yet seems thy massy pow'r Tho' thou bait seen Pride's Mightiest thrust aside And ages crumble at thy feet is dust And the prodd sea claim as her rightful dower ' Wrecks of its thousand ships, to hold in trust, As dark oblivion's harvest of the storm ; 'fret waves may lash, and the loud hurricane Threaten thy cloud-opt dwelling, and deform The sky in gloom. around thee : all is vain, Empires may pass away, but thou% remain Smiling in sunshine, as the storm frowns by, Whose dreadful rage seemed to thy quiet thrall As small birds' twittering. that beneath thee fly, Winds call aloud, and they may louder call ; For deaf to danger's voice, sublime and grand Thou tower'st in thy old Majesty o'er all. Tempests that break the tall mast like a wand, Howl their rage weary round thee, and no more Impression make than summer winds, that bow The little trembling vistas upon thy wail. Lightnings have played around thy brow of yore, And left no foot-marks—so it seemeth now— Time proudly spares thee till that doom is hurl% That sears the ocean dry, and wrecks the world. But we have exceeded our limits. If we have bestowed so much time and room upon the Gems, It is because we think it infinitely superior to any of the assures that have yet come under our observation—and we have seen all that are out. The enterprise of the Publishers and Editors of of this—and the other elegant trifles—may be estimated from the fact, that each of the graphic embellishments that adorn them, costs no less a sum thana6o or 470; and that the expeace attend ing their publication is so enormous, that a lesser impression than eight &assayed copies must be attended with loss, Such exertions on the part of the Publishers and the Collabouratuers to please the eye, to touch the heart, and to cultivate the tastes of the fashion able reading Republic, deserve, indeed, a fair proportion of en couragement. ••• • • FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE • CHANGES.

The Funds are not so go2d as in the early part of the day, when they were at 91i b for the Account, since which the Bears have been industriously circulating reports of various descriptions : such as, our troops in India refusing to march against some marines, and a very great discontent in she army there ; also, that the Bank have it in contemplation to dispose of the Dead Weight, and that the Duke of Wellingt on find. it a difficult task to keep the Ministry in unison. These sagacious reports have certainly had a little ef• feet on the market, and lowered Consols to 91! i for the Account, and 91i to for honey, at which price they continue at present, with little doing.—ln the Foreign Market there is but little varia- tion in the prices of yesterday, consequently the transactions there are of little importance. We have received the Hu►nbio' Correspondent n of one day later than the Hantbro' Repo: ter of the '24th Oct. The only infonuation it contains is a letter from Con stantinople of the 26th Sept. in which the writer specu lates on England not being satisfied with the Treaty of Adrianople, and apprelends that, in consequence, a new rupture will take place—and it was thought there that besides the Principalities, Silestria, Adrianople, Bourgas, and Varna, would remain in possession of the Russians until the indemnities were paid by the Turks. It was also reported that England would interfere with Russia to obtain better conditions for the Porte. A report prevailed that the Porte is going to dispose of .the mines of Erzeionni, in order to pay thernssian indemnities. Letters have been received at Havre from Mexico, via New York, which speak of the vigorous measures adopted to destroy the Spanish troops. In the Congress at Mexico, on the .sth Sept.was adopted a decree to punish, on pain of death, all Spaniards or strangers founJ car rying arms, and the Mexicans who are taken prisoners fighting in the ranks of the Spaniards, are to be shot im mediately. Accounts from:Toulon state, that preparations are still going on there for the expedition against Algiers, and the plan is to destroy the town by bombs and Congreve rockets. One of the French Journals state, that they find in a New York Paper, that the Treaty between France and Hayti had been ratified. It adds—" W could wish this news to be true." _ _ _ The frigate Dauphine, going out of Toulon, got on a :ock and received great damage ; she was obliged to re turn to port again.

On Monday, the 26th inst. at his residence in the Strand, after an illness of severe and protracted suE.r ing, Mr. ions MAW e, Author of " Travels in the Interior of Brazil," Sm. and Member of the Mineralo gical Society of Jena. Mr. MAwr was in the 65th year of his age; and, through a long life of honourable and successful exertion, few individuals have been more ac tively or usefully engaged in literary and scientific pur suits. To his enterprise and talent was this country in debted for the most faithful and interesting description of the Brazilian States, which he traversed in the year 1810, under the sanction and a;:spices of the Prine , . Regent of Portugal, (afterwards Kin; 3011 N VI.) fur the purpcse of inspecting the emensive gold and diamond districts of that Empire ; being the first Englishman to whom such a permisssion was granted. His " Travels in the Interior of Brazil," which first appeared inlBl2, took immediate rank amongst the most valuable standard works of that class ; and have not only gone through numerous editions in England and the United States of America:, but have also been translated in almost all the conti - neutal languages, and published in France, Sweden, Germany, Russia, Portugal, and Brazil. As a Mine • ralogist, Mr. Al E was deservedly held iu the highest estimation for the variety and importance of his in formation, and the facility with which he developed the principles of his favourite science,—upon which he has publishe4 paf altar Treatises.

The preparation of Malt, and consequently of various liquors produced from it, is, as we sh :11 show, s:.b . j. et :.. the most vexations and oppressive government. At present, the quantity of barley made into malt, in England and Wales. amoti.:-. to 3, 20 0,000 quarters. If barley sell at 325. this products upwzrds of five million pounds a year. It is most extraordinary disc , !.es same quantity of malt was consumed in this country one hutsleed and twenty years ago! The quantities of malt usc.l for I , ormi consumption — From 1703 to 1713 averaged 2.959,063 qu.irti From 1713 to 1723 From 1723 to 1733 From 1733 to 1743 From 1743 to 17a3 In 1710, the population amounted to about 5,240,000. To 1733, it had increased to 6,467,000. During this period, however, the consumption of malt was stationary ! The population of Lnglavd and Wales, in 1801, exceeded 9,000,000. In 1821, it I:see-ail 12,0:0,000. In 1827, it could not have increased to less th..n 13,00 000. Since 1801, therefore, the population has inerea.ed 46 per cent. but, during the same period, the consumption ot malt made no progress! In 1802, the consumption afforded, at an average, twenty-six gallons and five pints to each person ; to 13t 7. it afforded less than sixteen gallons to each person! As a meeting held in Landon on the sth inst. it was justly stated. that in the annual average individual consumption for ten years, endirg us • 1723, amoumed to forty-one gallons and three quarts ; but 164 for ten years, ending in 1828, it did not exceed sixteen 7 Mons and three pints, and for the last year alone, fourteen gallons and two quarts only ! If the annual individual consumption m 1829 equalled that in 1723, more than 8,000.000 quarters of malt would he c 0..- stinted, producing, at 321. a quarter, above twelve mit!iats4 half pounds yearly !—Sheffield Cairarst.

It has, we are told, c lied in its notes, and announced its intention of closing its trans. .:tans as soon as they are paid off. Th: , , probably, may be ring..-sitilo within a very limited time ; bet it is equally impossible for the lh rectors to contince their operations under the pre-sure -f • ucii power. The failure of the expedition to T rce Oa is sa'ol by our correspondent very much to have lessened the confidence 0: e v e n Don Miguel's friends in the st ,bitity of his Govtcunt-nt. V. 1113 these causes of distrust and dissatisfaction concur the An to.t total interruption of commercial business, and the CtSY3(IOII of matiu:ac turing industry. The lower class cf the people cannot find employment or food, and the rents of the I .ntlt-tl proprietors ale not paid.
