LITERATURE, the FINE ARTS, DRAMA, 4-c. Bonaparte had on religious matters only vague ideas. 4' My understanding," said be to me one day,' is incredulous re specting a variety of things; but the impressions of my childhood, and the inspirations of my early youth, throw me back into uncer tainty." I have already stated what effect the sound of bells pro duced on him, and this is a fact which I have witnessed more than twenty times. He was very fond of speaking of religion. I have often seen him at Paserlano, in Egypt, on board the l'Orient. and Is Mutton, take a very active pan in animated discussions on this topic. He sadly gave way when any thing was clearly demon steered to him, and what appeared to him to come from men or t o be the result of time ; but he would hear nothing about materialann. I remember one night being on deck, the weather being extremely one, surrounded by some individuals who discussed in favour of this aMicting dogma, Bonaparte, pointing his hand toward the stars in the Armament, observed, " You may well talk, gentlemen;— who made all this ?" The immortality of a name was in his opinion the immortality of the soul. He possessed a perfect spirit of toleration for every religion, and could not cooceive bow it was possible to persecute fur religious opinions.—Menseires de Bourienne. • ••• • • •• •• • • " I was at Verona," said Lonia XVIII. " when the victories of Bonaparte alarmed the Government of Venice. Bo naparte having insisted on my departure, the patricians were das tardly enough to signify to me the order for leaving immediately the territory of the Republic. and this without the least considers. tion for, or regard to my misfortunes or my dignity. This arro gance towards a defeaceless man was revolting to me ; I answered that I would quit, but after having erased from the gold book (livre d'or) the name of my family, which it had condescended to have inscribed, and when the armour presented by my ancestor Henry IV. to the Republic had been returned to me. Do you know what answer these noble merchants made ? They struck out the Name of the Bourbons, and informed me that the armour should be returned when I had paid the sums advanced to Henry IV. But Providence did not tarry to avenge this new insult. A short time afterwards, the monument which I claimed was taken swat from Venice by the French, at the sound of the chains which the patricians and plebeians of this insolent city have not since been able to shake off."—Yearseires d'une femme de polite sour Louis xrw. as ems 4. cow refine--amrikd to Yoakum de Co*. •••••• • • • • • Bonaparte was not fond of play, and this was a very fortunate drcumstance to the persons who were invited to his evening parties, for when he happened to be at a card table, which he conceived he ought sometimes to be, netting was moreessusseito than the saloon, either at the Luxembourg or the TeUeries.— When, on the contrary. he walked about in the midst of the nu merous assemblage, every individual was happy, because he spoke to a great number, but it was mostly with literati that he endea voured to converse, and particularly with those who had accom panied him to Egypt, such as Menge and Berthotiet. He also found pleasure in talkiog to Chaptal and Leaped?, and to Leiner der—the author of Agamemnon. But upon the whole, it was less in a saloon than at the head of his troops Bonaparte ought to be seen, to order to form a high idea and to appreciate all about him. The uniform salted him much better than ordinary clothes : his first attempts in putting on a ceremonial dress did not prove suc cessfuL 'have been informed that the first time he put one ea, be had kept on his black cravat, which made a singular contrast : ea its being remarked to him—" So muck the better," said he, " that gives me always a military air; there is so harm in that."— Meweares de aterinsme. TESTIMONIAL TO LORD ELDON.----WS are glad to And that the clergy of the west riding of this county intend pre senting this venerable and highly-revered nobleman with some token of their grateful sense of his eminently-dhtingskked services on a late and important occasion. An elegant pillar. Use feet In height, and of the Tuscan order, is now making in the workshops of Messrs. Barber, Castle, and North. It is formed of minster wood, and is surmounted by in earl's coronet; the shaft is hollow, and will separate from the pedestal, and contain an appropriate ad dress to his Lordship.—Skdieli Nercary.—We are really mortified to And this Interesting testimonial so disproportionate to the gigantic virtues which the tiny toy would commemorate.— We understand a cut is immediately to be taken from it, for which subscriptions are made by all the liberal and enlightened throughout the world ;—first, the Grand Sultan and his prin cipal black Eunuch have ordered two for their shimney pieces; the Prince Metternich. Lord Aberdeen, Vidocq, Dom Miguel. and the Grand Lama, have ordered a &een each ; while the proprietors of certain temples in Paris, in which ladles and gentlemen are invited to repose by the following inscription over the deers—" Cori dos Moodatro—Coti dos Damoss," have contracted . fee them by the truss, he order to embellish and ornament their estahlkhments. It was at first intended to give It a nick in front of the new Palace; but the blaze of rich sculpture which so richly decorates this exquisite specimen of the arts in England would, it was apprehended, have cast the little gem into the shade. It is therefore to be transferred to a certain mysterious corner of the garden behind, where his Majesty may contemplate the testimonial at his ease. ' On the pedestal is to be engraved divers fat hags, au nrunted with the head of " an old White Lion," and under them these lines-- THE DRAMA. We again last evening visited the English Opera, and were well pleased to find the music of the Reibee's Bride gradaally Increasing in public favour. As we become more familiar with the style, we discover a multitude of beauties in detail, that almost re concile us to its extravagance u a whole. Still, the horrid verse with which it is conveyed disgusts as much as ever, and mars passage after passage most cruelly. The actors having become more perfect, sing with less appearance of effort, and thereby de greater justice to the music of Ries, which add, to say the best of it, is but a splendid ambiguity. Sapio yet remains inexorably vapid and incorrigibly awkward—delivering himself of speech in the same way, but in lower accents, as a showman of wild beasts. This gentleman would absolutely persuade us that there was a time when Italian officers made mountain excursions with troops against robbers—dressed like inatadores at a bull-fight. We should be glad to learn if these hoaxes originate with the actors or the Stage manager. At all events, we an sorry for the Lubin-looking Therese,—that be suffers his pro tuberant visage to be shaded so profusely with ruffs and feathers ; it makes him look quite comical. Miss Betts, in the disguise of a peasant, wears a rich gold embroidered petticoat, and a quantity of gay ribbons in her hair,--enough to buy a farm. No wonder the folks suspect her of being a counterfeit. Miss Came, as her abigail, flaunts like a Duchess, in rich leery. Those ladies must. have had Arcadia in their eye, when they represent &eremite and country girls in such attire. Perkins„—in a tunic coveted with gold clasps , moiern-looking horse-pistols, and a kind of Turkish memo his belt, an antique Roman falchlos by his side, — looks as like a Captain of robbers as be does a Boatswain of a Man-of•wu.

We speak of these improprieties with real regret ; for he has talents, if properly di rected, that might lift bins to no mean station in dramatic hierarchy. It N a pity be hes no adviser. The little piece named Lying Made Easy, and called, we know not why, an Operella, succeeded the Opera of Ries. It was in judicious to cloy us with la peeks entsiyise," after such scientific and effective morsels as those of the Robber's Bride. Wrench, as usual, kept the stage alive with his perpetual bustle, inflexible face, and monotonous organ. There is no finesse, no by-acting, no delicate touch, to be expected from this still useful actor. He blurts every thing out, whether it should be spoken aloud or not; row and rumpus is the soul of Wrench; for aught else be can afford no time. Mr. Bartley is truly moat facetious, and very good-naturedly takes care we should know when to laugh, by uniformly anticipating us by his own chuckling. His fellow actors ea& really to feel much obliged for this public homage iv their comic powers. The evening was concluded with the revived entertainment of Paid cited Meek. The sweet simplicity of Mazzingbi's music in this piece has made it a universal favourite ; and the aid given to it by Reeve, lends it a certain character of nationality which ren ders it highly agreeable to an English ear. Mrs. Keeley nukes an admirable And j and, in her sang of intercession with Tropic, de livered notes of a fulness, purity, and taste, we, until Dow. considered beyond bee compass. Madame Cellini, we are sorry to say, does not improve. She looks like a thing of pasteboard. While her wake—like her face—is so diminutive, we can scarcely catch it at the distance of the centre box. She wore an absurd scarf, in shape resembling them worm by village Beadles In France, which assisted, with the rest of her dress, appearance, and acting, to give us more an idea of a doll newly dressed for the toy-shop, than the poor interesting orphan depicted by Beenendas St. Pierre. Mr. G. • Pusan personated t he merry blunt sailor's um. Derniniime, Is a dress similar to those worn by the riding clowns at Auley's, and did more than rival them in feats of agility and grimace. Instead of the manly tone the writer meant him to take, he looked the most passive creature in the workl--squeaking out his claptrap, of British bravery like a boy in a game of marbles, and looking altogether like a champion say body might pretend to kick. From this piece we learn the singular fact, that the mak slaves In Madagascar are black, and the female oats of a ray red. Thorne, with a grey wig, and naval uniform, looked like a ship's cook, dressed in his Captain's uniform • and Baker—that terrible Baker —we h e re l ose courage to proceed. ROBBERY OF PRINCE METTERNICH. By the following Intelligence we should apprehend that the great AUSTRIAN Levee of the world is at length, alas ! creeping fast to his dotage. Where was his all spying police, that a man was found daring enough to entertain even a secret thought of plundering this terrible senatorial lynx? We always thought he slept with his eyes open. Lord Aberdeen, to defend his patron from the charge of being caught napping, protests, it is said. that the whole was a mere ruse j and affects to be extremely uneasy at the disappearance of certain interesting correspondence touching Greece and Portugal, reported to have been stolen with the precious booty. A medal, street in honour of Don Mtoosx,—with a gibbet on one side, and the face of this precious pupil, crowned with a wreath of serpents, on the other, is the object most deplored in the loss. Lord Aberdeen, it ' is whispered, means handsomely to send hint another to replace it. " Prince Metternich bad formed, in his castle of Konigswart, in Bohemia, a cabinet of the most rare medals There were some of gold, and some of silver, of very large dimensions, sod valued at 12,000 florins at least. The rooms where this collection is kept are vaulted ; the windows have iron bare and strong shutters be fore them ; the doors are provided with strong iron bands in the inside, and a strong iron gate prevented access to the interior. In spite of all these precautions, a complete robbery has been effected. and all the pursuits of the magistrates have been ineffectutl. Mar ius the Feast of . the Jubilee of St. Nepnmaicene, at Prague. on Monday afternoon, the day of the Fete Dieu, a stage-coach arrived in town front the country, and stopped, by the desire of one of the persons in it, at an inn in the suburbs, where this traveller alighted ; among those persons who remained in the carriage was a captain, who ►ad remarked the uneasiness betrayed by their late companion, and the particular care which he took of a packet he had with him. The Captain, carried away by this sort of sentiment, thought it his duty, on arriving in the town, to inform the police of the circum stance. Some of its agents were immediately sent to the inn where the suspected individual had got down, but be bad already gone away. As soon as the stage coach had left. he ►ad got a hackney coach to carry him, as he said, to the Theatre. An inspector of these coaches was sent for, and there was no difficulty its finding out the coach which had carrried the stranger, not to the Theatre, as be said, in the suburbs, but to the Black Horse, the best ion at Prague. There. notwithstanding the multitude of strangers, the police was not long in discovering him ; and one of its agents was set to watch him. Nothing happened that evening. On the fol lowing day he was again closely watched; and be, not suspectiog anything, went to the market of the Jews, where, with an sir alto. gather undisturbed. and without making any mystery of his pro ceeding, be offered to sell some medals to a Jew, which be took from his pocket and showed him. At the moment the bargain was to be concluded, the officer made his appearance, and fixing his eyes t firmly oa the seller, asked did be not know him ? The seller was dis concerted, and lost all his presence of mind, when the officer added, that he was the person to whom the medal-seller bad already of fered to sell meffah stole at Konigswart. The trick was well con ceived ; the thief or the accomplice was arrested ; his chamber was searched, and a groat quantity of medals found. It is not known w►ether the whole cabinet of medals has been recovered, or if a part of them bad already found their way into the melting pot.— Gesetss de Berlin." IRELAND. LIMERICK, Juan is. The head-quarters of Major ('Donohue, appointed a Magistrate of Police in the county Clare, are fixed at Knui.. The Police of Borrisoleigh, under Chief Constable Carroll, have apprehended James Keeffe for the wilful murder of Stephen Walsh, a driver in that town, the evening of the Bth June last, and the offender is committed to Clonmel Gaol. This day Sub-constable John Burne, of the county Limerick Pollee, apprehended near this city, after a pursuit front itathkeale, a man named Haar, who bad committed a robbery last night in the former place, and recovered all the stolen property with him. Monday evening two men of the name of Boyle, father and son, experienced fishermen. at Milltown, county Clare, were unfortu nately drowned in their canoe, whilst fishing, having approached too near the breakers, against which they were dashed by a heavy swell. Thursday night, a house of Mr. Meade, at Hilfeacle, near Cashel, was attacked by an armed banditti, who dragged out a young woman in charge of the habitation, fired two shots at her. one entering her foot, the other the hip. She was then struck two blows of a pistol on the head, and flung into a pool of water. The barbarians conceiving she was dead, plundered the premises and departed. The young woman was removed to the Infirmary of Cashel next morning, in a most deplorable. state. Mr. Meade's house was burned some time before by incendiaries. The man wbo got a severe beating from a maniac at Ballycorney. near Killaloe, died on Friday. A labouring man who fell asleep on the battlements of one of the bridges in Cork yesterday, tumbled over and was killed, the tide being out. SALE OF THE LATE MR. HEAVISIDE'S MUSEUM. -.,..- Monday the sale of the anatomical museum belonging to the above-named gentleman commenced. The property did not produce so much as was anticipated. Among the principal put. chasers were Mr. Trueman, Mr. Sharpe, Mr. Brooke, and Mr. Pettigrew.

Several families belonging to Brighton, are about to emigrate to the new settlement at Swan Riser. On Tuesday Mr. W. H. Smithies, tallow-chandler, and family, in all nine persons, left Brighton for that place. They travelled in a van, but similarly to those used by persons frequenting fairs. containing sitting and sleeping rooms, and so constructed as to be taken to pieces on board skip, and with ease be put together again, on reaching their ulterior destination. In this respect, they will find the advantage of a com fortable lodging, during the period which must necessarily elapse before the erection of a more substantial dwelling. PRINTERS' PENSION SOCIETY.—Monday a general meeting of this Society was held at the London Tavern—Charks Baldwin, Req. in the chair. Sit men and siz women were elected pensioners on the society ; the thanks of which was given to the chairman.

Among other articles in the bill of lading were 150 barrels of resin, and to these bench the ()dicers' attention was particularly directed. Each barrel weighed about 140 lbs. and on breaking them open they were found each to contain above 100Ibs. of tobacco,thno making is the 1.50 bar rels a total seizure of 15,000 lbs. of tobacco. The tobacco was con cealed in the following artful manner :—Round the inside of each barrel was a thin coat ot resin, but the hole bulk of the barrel was Idled up by tobacco, compressed In to as small a comma as possible.

The TOWER Attmouttr.—Dr. Meyrick has at length arranged the horse armoury chronologically in a new building al blued for that purpose ; and a lar.White has renewed the Spanish armoury. In the rear of the equestrian figures in armour, variously disposed, Dr. Myrick has placed a number of fine cannons, from the time of Henry VI. to the time of James I I ; and, with the exception of oce suit of mail, made to resemble the fashion of Edward I. the whole are genuine, and founded on the basis of truth. Several Royal badges h ice been discovered on these zrins. In stead, therefore, of the armoury in the Tower of London being, as it has hitherto been, a heterogeneous meth• y, 'saltiest most ignu randy to periods to which hardly one piece so referred did belong, Ire have now an illustration of history interesting to the antiqua rian, the artist. and the public in metal.

The Paris papers complain of a new practice in the Champs Elysees, which threatens to deprive the French people of the pleasant promenade they have so long possessed there. The troops of the garrison, from four till eight o'clock every morning, perform platoon and regimental firing in the square of the Champs Elysees—a place hitherto reserved fur the pedestrians of the capital, and for pubac rejoicings, and 'wounded by dwelling-houses, and bounded on the north and south by two road., the most frequented in the kingdom. AN C N r Cot x s.—A Lyons paper states, that in a place which was excavated for marl, and is now filled with water, many thnusind silver cnius have be.n found, bearing the effigy of the Emperor Albinos, the rival of Severn.. The contest between them was closed near Lyons at the beginning of the second century, and the fall of Albinos was very mi,chievous to Lynne, which had declared for him. An elephant, which haA been performing. at a Parisian theatre, met with the most Battering success, and came forward alone, after the fall of the curtain, amidst loud applsuse, in gratitude for which he nude three sows to the audience !—Such is really the statement of the Parisian critics.

Men were dispatched instantly to Cairo, with a peremptory order that 10.000 pairs 'holed be ready in a month. All the shoe makers inCalre were instantly wt to work, and the order completed. A scandalous anecdote is in circulation at St. Lo. At the time when the congregation had the disposal of aU public tact., a place became vacant in this town. One of the candidates for the office was supported by aU the principal ladies in the place, but he could not obtain the object of his desire until he signed a de-sl, by which he bound himself to pay 400 francs annually to two of his patronesses. At first the debt of gratitude appeared light, but soon he perceived that the payment of the 400 franc made con siderable deductions front his salary, which amounted to only 1,200 francs. He deel 'red that he would no longer pay the 400, francs, and threatened to recover what be had already paid in a court. The parties became alarmed, and a relation of one of the ladies undertook to repay all that they bad received. It was, how ever, necessary to ascertain exactly bow muck had been paid. The receipts would prove thi.. The receipts were handed over by the credulous claimant ; and then, having parted with the only proof by which he could establish his case, he was told to go about his business. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. There is a good deal of inqu iry respecting the future intentions of Government with regard to the Savings' Banks, and much anxiety is expressed as to whether the sales of stuck will be continued. but nothing certain on the subject has yet ttanspired: A well-founded complaint is made, that the public should still be kept In the dark on so important a matter, It being known that several millions of stock can he brought to market on account o: these estabhshments. Harvest has already commenced in favourable situa tions in this county. On Monday ■ field of wheat of the btst quality, bekmging to Mr. Robert Grigg, was cut near East Lone. On Wednesday 3 bushel (24 gallons) or new barley, in prime order, and which weibbed about 170 lbs. was sold at Truro, by Mr. James Martin, of Rialton, Lower St. Columb.—Falorsouth Packet. TILE CROPS.— A correspondent, who travels through the West Riding of Yorkshire, says—" The bay harvest is la pidly drawing to a close. under favourable auspices ; and though there has been a great variety of weather, the crop has been on the whole well gathered. Corn of every descrip:ion looks well ; even oats, which a few weeks ago were almost despaired of, have r d amazingly. Nothing but hot weather is wanting to in sure to us an abundant harvest. Potatoes never looked better, and the early sown turnips are in a thriving cooditlon." It is with sincere regret we have to state that a serious depression in trade exists at present in this neighbourhood. New - castle, notwithstanding its various sources of traffic is in a very in different state, but it is nothing compared with the condition of North and SJUIL Shields. These towns are 'brunt entirely de pendent on the shipping, but to whatever cause this depression is to be attributed, there can be no doubt of its esisteuce.

STATE OF Tilt LABOCRING POPULATION.—The condition at the labouring classes in the manulastunug districts of this county Is truly distressing ; hundreds are unemployed—the parishes are excessively burthetted with poor-rates—numbers of persons used to comparative opulence are reduced to beggary. ley flour, purchased in small qu intities, and baked hi cakes over the Are, is the only subsistence of many. It is a pleasure to observe that the persons suspected of various robberies In the neighbour hood are not numerous. but such as have in more prosperous times been remarkable for dissolute manners and dishonest practices.— Ossifenhans Chrande. We have received notice of an improved machine for cutting Thtbet shawls, which is likely to be of great beoeSt to the manufacturers In Paisley engaged in these articles. It has item constructed by Mr. Andrew Baukirons the ingenious inventor of the cbenelle-cutting-machine. Since the manufacturing of Thibet shawls commenced in Paisley, several cutting machines, suck as are commonly used in England, have been brought to Paisley for the finishing of the shawl cloth. Mr. Bauldrons, on examining some of these machines, was of opinion, that ho wever well they' , were calculated for Gaishing heavy broad cloth, they were by fair too heavy far the llgkthbrie they were applied to in Paisley. He accordingly set about constructing one on a principle completely original, in ding whisk he has succeeded to this utmost expects tient.
