THE GRAND LIT-ERATURE • treats the subject with a - calmness and moderation which might teach a salutary lesson to many con troversialists. He admits in its widest scope the right of free inquiry ; he even carries it to an ex tent which Many conscientious persons would think dangerous. He only asserts that the inquirer should prosecute his researches at home, and proves ; that he has no right in a public library to force upon others works which are objectionable to them. He shows how in mixed assemblies every one must consult the wishes of his neighbour, if peace and order are to be maintained, and that, under the cry of free inquiry and the rights of man, they were really attempting to carry out a most tyrannical principle. The force of his arguments, and the toleration of his views, must have done more to convince these sceptics of their error than volumes of denunciation and invective. It is mournful, but not surprising to those who know anything of human nature, to find that Mr. Robertson's prin ciples were the subject of attack and abuse. He was as entirely superior to the prejudices of any particular sect in religion as in literature, and con sequently those whose prejudices were assailed by his eloquent denunciations of hypocrisy and Pharasaism were most bitter in their condem nation of what they termed the latitudinarian ism of his teaching. Those of more elevated minds and larger sympathies will take a very different view of the tendencies of his doctrine. They will see in it no palliation of sin, though an earnest pity for the sinner. There is no confusion of the principles of right or wrong, only a sense that— " What's done we safely may compute, But know not what's resisted." There is displayed in it that toleration and libe raliq- which are but other names for the Christian charity which St. Paul ranked first among virtues. It affords another proof that prejudice and severity are not necessarily the accompaniments of earnest piety, and that the poet, the philanthropist, and the logician, may all find scope for the exercise of their powers in the sphere of the Christian preacher. • An OW Debt. By Florence Dawson. 2 - vols. Smith and Elder. There is a great deal of merit displayed in this work, and although the story is certainly a pain ful one, many may be interested in it. S ome o f 'the characters are remarkably well portrayed, particularly that of the heroine, Ellen Scudamore. In her we find a just representation of what a high-spirited and passionate girl would be if almost totally devoid of self-control, and as impetuous as she was inexperienced. She had many trials to subdue and soften her, and it is probable that at the period when we take leave of her she was sufficiently improved to become an ornament and a grace to the society to which her talents rendered her an acquisition, and a blessing to the domestic circle, in which she was well fitted to shine from her affectionate heart and generous dis position. Her brother Frederick was a striking contrast to his sister. He was one of those gra cious beings who diffuse a light and brilliancy over every - circle into which they enter, and who accord with the description of the poet : " His presence seems like sunshine sent, to gladden home and hearth, To comfort us in all our griefs, and sweeten all our mirth." It is mournful, however, to sec how the light heart and sanguine spirit of the boy seemed to regard the future with trust, as if secure of a long life, and as if his present ailments were temporary drawbacks, instead of sure harbingers of the approach of death. Fortunately for him Frederick possessed a true friend in his tutor, Edward Young, who himself was most unfortunately situated, but who was ever ready to proffer succour and givegood counsel to those who needed it. He had sufficient UKE CONSTANTINZ Mr. Selwyn—The rest of the decree will be carried into effect upon the usual certificates. _ _ _ Mr. Follet—One half is --- to -- 1;e appropriated by way of annuity, and the other half is the portion out of which the debts and legacies are to be paid. Mr. Selwyn—This winds up the whole case. The Master of the Rolls—ln order to see that the terms of the order of the court is carried into effect the amount -west be verified by affidavit. - • CITY SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) CLASHING OP THE COURTS.-THE VEXED QUESTION AGAIN.---HART V. PARKER. This was a judgment summons, and defendant, who for merly kept the. Vine Inn, produced his discharge from the Insolvent Court, and a copy of his schedule, containing plaintiff's claim. The original order was made in 1856, and defendant took the benefit of the act in 1857. His Honour said he felt bound by the act of Parliament to commit defendant ; he had, however, been informed that persons so committed had been discharged by the com missioners. If defendant was committed for this debt it would cost him £8 or £9 to get a discharge. Pliintiff—l knew nothing of his taking the benefit of the act. I had no notice. Defendant—lt was under the amount that renders a notice necessary.. His Honour—From defendant's appearance and man ner I think he has the meat . '" to pay. N ow the Court of Common Pleas, at Westminster, says that I must commit, and it is time that some creditor took the matter to the superior court and got it settled.. I shall not commit now, but if the creditor chooses to go on he can. INFANCY NOT PLEADED.-RICHARDSON V. ROBINSON. Mr. Clarke appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Beard for the defendant. This was a judgment summons, and Mr. Beard asked, on behalf of his client, for a fresh order. Defendant had to keep an aged mother, and might have pleaded infancy, he being only 20 ; but he was anxious to settle the matter. Mr. Clarke said defendant ought to have obeyed the order of this court. Rlaintiff had been put to great expense. Mr. Beard—The order was too large ; make one a little smaller, and he will, I am sure, pay. His'Honour thought defendant had shown honest inten tions in not pleading infancy, and made the required altera tion in the order. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY: MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CLEVER CAPTURE OF AN ESCAPED PRISONER.--jOhD. Thomson, alias ' , Dick Doody," a very desperate fellow, and who has already been tried with another, but not convicted, for garotting a person named Stocker, in Arthur-street, was brought up under the following circumstances in custod y of Sergeant Chown, of the E division. The prisoner was brought up at this court on the 19th Oct. lastcharged, with a man named Lindsay, with attempt ing to enter the house No. 55, Davies-street, Berkeley square, and both were committed for trial on the evidence of Sergeant Croelpr and a detective namedim and while waiting at the close of the court in the lobby to be removed in the van the prisoner Thomson (in the absence of Welsh, the gaoler of the court, owing to illness) managed to effect his escape. Several active officers have been on the look out for the prisoner since, amongst others Sergeant Chown, but with out success till the previous evening, when the sergeant went about half-past eleven at night to the Union Arms, Union-court, Holborn-hill, where at the time a raffle was going on for a pickpocket, the house at the time containing some of the worst of characters--pickpockets, burglars, and garotters. To prevent the prisoner's escape the ser geant took with him 20 other constables, and so placed them as to prevent all egress. Having searched the rooms, the sergeant went into the tap-room, and seeing the pri soner sitting there, he made a rush at him, seized him, and at once told him it was no use his attempting to resist, as he had a large force outside. Having told him he wanted him for the affair in Davies street, the prisoner said, " - me, Chown, I did not think that you knew me, and if my pals had been here it would have been warm for you ; no force would have taken me." The sergeant said he never saw such a place in his life as the place where he was taken from. I Sc ITIES. rgeant Croker and Joy having sworn the prisoner was the same man who escaped, Mr. Beadon said the prisoner would be committed on the original return. Business Done. 116 k I 1131 48 37 21 / 67 IN RE WOODHOUSE, DEBENHAM., AND ttriEGREW. This cause came on to be spoken to this morning. Mr. Selwyn, Q.C., said that thii cause came on before his Honour on the 20th December last, respecting the purchase of an annuity, and his Honour then settled the principle upon which the annuity was to be pur chased ; but as there was no power given to charge tho executors with interest, his Honour directed it to be mentioned this morning in order to see whether the agents and the chief clerk could arrange it. In the order that his Honour then made he did not dispute it, and with re spect to the interest, after going over the accounts pro duced, and without taking any further accounts, he thought the sum of £2O would be sufficient for interest. His Honour the Master of the Rolls said " Let it be so if the parties are agreed." Mr. P'ollett, Q.C., said he thought £l5 sufficient, but would not object. There were a very large number of small lega \ cies to be paid hero, amounting to between £25 and £3O, andin place of taking separate discharges he pro posed that the solicitor's discharge would be sufficient, on receiving letters from the legatees. This gentleman had already received a number of letters from the legatees in respect to discharging the shares duo to them, and it seems to be quite right that he should re ceive payment and grant discharges, The amount of the fund for distribution is only £3OO, and the legatees reside in Auckland, Portland, and in different parts of England, and some of them in Australia, and it would be difficult to obtain discharges from each of them. He thought the dis charge by the solicitor would be sufficient. His Honour the Master of the Rolls assented, and said that if the executors paid they must pay jointly. If the executors distributed it, they undertook to distribute it jointly. They would be both liable if they distributed the fund—they could not separate it. They could not distri bute it one at one time and another at another. A correspondent writes from Nice on the 16th, giving some account of the proceedings of the Grand Duke Constantine in that part of the world before leaving for Paris:— "The Grand Duke Constantine paid yesterday his first official visit to the naval arsenal of Villa franca, which he inspected in a minute manner. The Russian High Admiral, who was accompanied by the Chevalier Rochi, major in the Sardinian engineers, paidmarticular attention to the wet-dock and careening basin, in which extensive improve ments are about to be commenced without delay, at the expense of the Russian Government. his not generally known that at the same time that the negotiations with Russia were pending for the lease of , the Villafranca establishment, proposals were made for the same object by M. Mires of Paris, who had conceived the idea of founding a company to introduce shipbuilding in that port These proposals were rejected on account of the advanced stage of the Russian negotiations, but the French capitalist appears to have abandoned the idea with reluctance, for he paid yesterday a flying visit to Villafranca, and having doubtless felt convinced by the presence of the Russian squadron that no hopes of realising his project ex isted for the present, he departed immediately for Rome with two engineers and the manager of the Roman railways in his wake. The Russian squadron at Villafranca has been strengthened by the arrival of vessels - from Cadiz, and it now com prises one line-of-battle ship, two frigates, and three corvettes, all propelled by steam. Admiral Isth vain has hoisted his flag as second in command. With respect to the movements of the squadron, nothing definitive is known. It had orders on Wednesday last to weigh anchor, but counter-in structions were subsequently received. The first anchorage of the squadron will be Toulon, and it will then probably proceed to Cadiz and other Spanish ports, and return to Villafranca. On Tues day last, the first stone of the Russo-Greek church was laid here, as you have doubtless already learned, by the Grand Duke, with great ceremony. All the members of the Imperial Russian family residing in Nice were present, along with the en tire Russian colony, the authorities of the town, and the French consul. A species of tent had been erected over the site of the projected building, and afforded shelter from the sun. The interior of the tent was fitted up as a Greek chapel and decorated with flowers. An alter, groaning under the weight of candelabras, richly bound missals, gorgeously framed pictures, and sacred vessels, had been erected at one extremity of the tent. The ground was kept by detachments of sailors from all the Russian ships of war then anchored at Villa franca. These sailors, by the way, marched into Nice with a precision which would have done credit to a regiment of the guards, and altogethe r they lack that elasticity and catlike activity so essential in naval operations. They are sturdy and rather savage-looking men, who would certainly stand true to their guns ; but they exhibit none of the characteristics of our tars, excepting a strong predilection for rum. The Grand Duches s Cathe rine, dressed in a splendid plaid mantle, was the first to arrive ; she was rapidly f o ll owe d by Prince Constantine, accompanied by the young Grand Duke Nicholas, dressed as a middy, and Duke George of Mecklenburg. A second carriage con tained Count Stackleberg, Russian envoy to the Court of Turin, and the cortege was closed by the Grand Duchess Constantine with her maids of honour. The Grand Duchess was attired in a handsome white moire antique dress and a mantle of white cashmere. The Grand Ducal party was received at the opening of the tent by the four officiating priests, who made a very gorgeous ap pearance. ATe Deum was sung, in which a choir of sailors and sailor boys took part in an effective manner, after which the Grand Duke deposited some coins in a Greek cross dug out in the soil, and then applied three blows with a silver trowel to a stone which had been rolled over the cross in ques tion. This ceremony was repeated by the other members of the imperial family, who took their departure after having embraced a cross presented to them by the principal priest. After their de parture, the remainder of the congregation em braced the cross, and dispersed. A grand banquet was given by Prince Constantine, in honour of the occasion. The proposed erection of this church has created some dissatisfaction in the town, not from a motive of intolerance, but from the, fact that the building will interfere with the regularity of the street which is projected in the same quarter. It is believed that every legal opposition will be offered by the neighbouring house owners to the construction of the church on the exist ing plan. The edifice, was dedicated by the especial desire of the Empress-mother to St. Nicholas and St. Catherine. The squadron at Villa franca attracts crowds of visitors, who are very courteously received by the officers. The prima donna of the Nice Opera House, Madame Boccaba dati, paid the flag-ship Retrizan a visit yesterday, and met with a complete ovation. Her colleague, Madame Gianni-Vives, encountered a different fate the same evening on the stage. Her appearance in the " Favorita ' was greeted with a storm of dis approbation, proceeding from a clique which has set its heart on driving her and the present director from the Nice Opera House. After struggling for some time against this relentless opposition, Madame Vives was seized with a nervovs attack and fainted away on the boards, an event which brought the performance to a close. The persecuted singer has an agreeable voice, and she is most unjustly made to suffer for the unpopularity of the di rector. The sisters Ferni, who evidently con sider it necessary for their musical reputation to break a limb or to drive lovesick young men to suicide in every town they visit, have purchased some land here and propose building a villa. These young violinists would do well to imitate the admirable example offered them by the sisters Milanolo, who achieved their fame by legitimate means, and conquered the love of the public by their abstention from all the sickly arts of puffing. The ball to have been given on Tuesday to the officers of the 3d regiment, quartered at Villafranca, in honour of the Russian squadron, was adjourned in consequence of the unfavourable accounts re ceived of the Empress Dowager's health. It will probably take place after the return of the Grand Duke from his cruise to Toulon. Invitations had been accepted by the Grand Duke and his wife, by the King of Wurtemberg, by the Duke George of Mechl_mburg and the Grand Duchess Catherine, and by five hundred other persons, including the elite of Russian society and of that of Nice. This ball will be given in the chateau of Villafranca. The concert in favour of the poor, in which the Baronne Vigier (Cruvelli) has promised to perform, on condition that the stage of the opera-house shall be transformed into a concert platform—in other terms, that she shall not be led to break her vow of never again singing on the boards of a theatre— has been at length fixed for the 10th of January. With the attraction of that magnificent voice, the charitable cause will achieve a brilliant victory. I will conclude by stating that a ' difficulty' exists between the Sardinian. Government and the Prince of Monaco on account of no less important a ques tion than a builder's bill. Last summer a barrack occupied by the small Sardinian garrison of Monaco was partly consumed by flames. Sardinia now calls upon Charles 111. to pay the sum incurred for repairs, but the latter sovereign stoutly declines to listen to the appeal.. A great coolness consequently prevails between the two courts. Probably a fifty pound note would settle the entire business." serves : FATAL ACCIDENT IN A RAILWAY TUNNEL.- On Saturday night, about twelve o'clock, a man named William Wright was knocked down by a goods train in the tunnel of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, between Cowlairs and Queen-street, and so severely injured, espe ciallS, about the lower part of the body, where he was torn in a shocking manner, that he died on Monday morning, about five o'clock, at the Infirmary. The unfortunate man, so far as can be ascertained, had entered the tunnel from Cowlairs ; for a Watchman was on duty at the Queen-street station, and a number of plate layers were at work at the lower end of the tunnel, none of whom observed him pass ing. The breaksman, it appears, had seen the man in advance of the train, and every effort was made to arrest its progress. But ere it was finally stopped one of the trucks had overtaken and knocked him down, and a lever, brought from the station, had afterwards to be employed in raising the truck before he could be removed from under it.— Glasgow Daily Mail. FRENCH IMMIGRATION INTO THEIR WEST INDIA SETTLEMENTS.—A contract has been entered into by the French Government agent for the supply of 20,000 immi grants, for the term of six years, to commence from the day o f engagement. The wages are fixed at 12f. per month for men, 6f. for women, and 3f. for children between the ages of 6 and 14 years old. The working days are to be 26 the month, or 312 in the year, and they are to make them selves useful in any way their employers may direct, though it is understood the principal work will be the cultivation and manufacture of sugar. A contribution of one tenth part of the immigrants monthly pay is to be retained, which, at the expiration of the term of servitude, is to be returned either for passage money home, or for any other purpose, should the immigrant prefer remaining in the colony. EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT.—On Monday last Mr. W. Walton, a man who has held a respectable position in society at Worcester, was committed for trial, charged with embezzling moneys of the Worcester Dis tillery Company to a considerable extent. The prisoner had been employed as traveller and collector at £l5O a-year and a guinea a day expenses up to last September, when he absconded,. and deficiencies to the amount of about £2OO were then discovered. All trace of him was lost until a detective procured a photographic likeness of the missing man, and, procuring a number of copies, they were trans mitted to the various police stations in the country, the result being that he was discovered in lodgings at Douglas, in the Isle of Man, where he was apprehended, brought back to Worcester , and on Monday last fully comm i tted for trial, had wising just three months. Lectures and Addresses on Literary and Social Topics. By the late Rev. F. W. Robertson, of Brighton. Smith and Elder. This volume contains a collection of the lectures and addresses delivered by the late Rev. F. Robert son, of Brighton, on various occasions, principally at the Mechanics' Institute of that town. They are well worthy of an enlarged audience and a more enduring form. They evidence a cultivated taste and extended sympathies. They do credit alike to the head and the heart. of the writer. The preface gives a brief record of his life and labours, which is full of interest, and shows how consistently he practised what he preached. His popularity, and the success of his ministry among the working men whom he addressed, is not surprising. His clear and correct arguments, his patience and toleration of opposing opinions, and the eloquence of his tip peals, not to their passions or prejudices, but to that reason and conscience in which he admitted them to be his equals, were certain of producing effect where intelligence and good intention met him. Perhaps the most remarkable feature in these addresses is the broad and tolerant spirit which per vades them. There is a total freedom from narrow ness of mind or prejudice, a respect for the opinions of others, which is very rare in any sphere, and is, perhaps unavoidably, especially so in the pulpit. The principle that each man has a right to his own judgment and opinion, is consistently maintained throughout, only it is insisted that he should act up to those conscientious convictions, honestly and fearlessly. The habit of admiring and apiteciating excellence in o ur opponents is another duty strongly inculcated. Mr. Robertson's was one of those cul tivated and comprehensive tastes that can perceive the merits of the most opposite styles. The follow ing passage expresses this strongly : " Cultivate universality of taste. There is no surer I mark of a half-educated mind than the incapacity of ad miring various forms of excellence. Men who cannot praise Dryden without dispraising Coleridge ; nor feel the stern, earthly truthfulness of Crabbe without disparaging the wild, ethereal, impalpable music of Shelley ; nor exalt Spenser except by sneering at Tennyson, are precisely the persons to whom it should is consistency seem strange that in God's world there is a place for the eagle and the wren, a separate grace to the swan and the humming-bird, their own fragrance to the cedar and the violet. Enlarge your tastes, that you may enlarge your heart as well as your plea sures; feel all that is beautiful—love - all that is good. The first maxim in religion and in art is—sever yourself from sectarianism ; pledge yourself to no school ; cut your life adrift from all party ; be a slave to n o max i ms ; stand forth, unfettered and free, servant only to the truth. And if you say, But this will force each of us to stand alone.' I reply—Yes, grandly alone I untrammelled by the preju dices of any, and free to admire the beauty, and love the goodness of them all." The lecture from which the foregoing passage is quoted is one of the best in the volume. It is the second of two, lectures on the influence of poetry on the working classes, in which the elevating and yet levelling influence of that divine art is clearly shown; elevating in its aspirations after all that is true and noble, it levels the petty distinc tions of rank and wealth to the equality of our com mon humanity. In alluding to those utilitarian critics, who ask what is the use of poetry, Mr, Robertson speaks of its power to bind together the most unsympathetic classes : "Milton, by all the associations of education and refined taste, belonged to the royalists and the church ; but he threw himself, in spite of the vulgarities which repelled him personally from its worship and left him at last with out visible worship, on the side of the conventicle, because in the days of the Stuarts the cause of the conventicle was the cause of liberty and truth. " Dante was a Romanist ; but no slave was he of Popery. His world-wide conception represents the heathens and the Christians of all.a)ges as the subjects of one moral govern ment, responsible to the laws impressed upon humanity rather than those written by the Church; and his severe justice does not scruple to consign a long list of bishops and Or, to the eternal p ena lty o f cr i mes. r, again, Byron and Shelley—aristocrats both by birth, yet no minions of a caste, nor champions of heredi tary privilege—they were men ; and their power lay in this, that they were the champions of human rights, as well as utterers of the passion that is in men. So far as they are great, they are universal ; 80 far as they are small or bad, they are narrow and egotistical. And, as time rolls on, that which is of self, limited and evil, will become obsolete, and wither, as the mortal warp and woof shrivelled on the arm of Halbert Glendinning, when he plunged it into the sacred flame to grasp the Volume of Truth at the bidding of the White Lady of Avenel ; and that of their works which remain unconsumed will be the living flesh of the humanity that never dies—so much as is true to universal nature and to fact. "It is thus that the poets universalise and. unite. 'One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.' And, hence, Poetry has been silently doing a work for the poorer classes when they were not aware of it ; for even that Poetry which does not interest them may be opening the hearts of the richer classes towards them. Did Burns teach the nobles no sympathy with the cares, and the loves, and the trials of the cotter's life ? And when poor Hood wrote the ' Song of the Shirt,' so touchingly expressive of the sorrows of an unknown class, the over-worked needlewomen, and all Eng land thrilled to the appeal— " 0 men, with sisters dear ! 0 men, with mothers and wives ! It is not linen you're wearing out, But human creatures' lives—" • and. when,in consequence, plan after plan....waa tried, and. investigations instituted, and a kindlier interest evoked to ameliorate their condition, tell us—Had Poetry done no thing for the Working Classes ? "Again, Poetry discovers good in men who differ from us, and so teaches us that we are one with them. For the poet belongs to the world rather than to his party; speaks his party's feelings which are human; not their watch words and formulas, which, being forms of the intellect, are transitory, often false, always limited. Thus, Romanism and Puritanism, and their modern f ee bl e d escen d an t s , as dogmatic systems, are forbidding enough. But listen to Dante, and you will feel that purgatory, false as e. dogma, is true as the symbolism of an everlasting fact of the human soul. Hear Milton sing, and the heart of Puritanism is re cognised as a noble and a manly thing. And, however re pelled you may be by the false metaphysics, the pretensions to infallible interpretations, the cant phrases, and the im portant intolerance which characterize the dwarf and dwindled Puritanism of our own days, out of which all pith and manhood appear to have departed, who does not feel to be disposed to be tender to it for Cowper's gentle sake ? However out of date the effort of the Tractarian may seem to you, to reproduce the piety of the past through the forms of the past, instead of striving, like a true prophet, to in terpret the aspirations of the present in forms which shall truly represent and foster them, what man is there to whose heart Keble has not shown that in Tractarianism, too, there is a "soul of goodness," a life and a meaning which mere negations cannot destroy." Again, speaking of the refining influence of poetry, especially in the three departments which were the peculiar sphere of romantic poetry—love, honour, and war—he overthrows, with a genuine and elo quent indignation, the cold and calculating argu ments of those who think a secure investment of capital is the grand object of life. After alluding to the remark of one whom he calls " a truly great man," the American Channing, that if armies were dressed in a hangman's gar, the false glory of military enthusiasm would be destroyed, he ob- " It is wonderful how the generous enthusiasm of Dr. Charming has led him into such a sophism. Take away honour, and imagination, and Poetizr from war, and it be comes carnage. Doubtless. And take away public spirit and invisible principles from resistance to a tax, and Hamp den becomes a noisy demagogue. Take away the grandeur of his cause, and Washington is a rebel, instead of the purest of patriots. Take away imagination from love, and what remains ? Let people treat with scorn the defenders of its liberties, and invest them with the symbols of degra dation, and it will soon have no one to defend it. This is but a truism. • " But it is a falsity if it implies that the mere change of symbolic dress, unless the dress truly represented a previous change of public feeling, would reverse the feeling with which the profession of arms is regarded. So long as people found it impossible to confound the warrior with the hangman, all that a change of garb could do would be to invest the sign with new dignity. Things mean become noble by association ; the thistle—the leek—the broom of the Plantagenets—the garter—and the death's head and cross bones on the front of the Black Brunswickers, typical of the stern resolve to avenge their chief—methinks those symbols did not exactly change the soldier into a sexton I" In alluding to the possibility of aFrench invasion, which was the subject of the day when this lecture was given, he speaks as follows : " No one who loves his country,—no one who knows what is meant by the sack of a town, especially by French soldiers—can contemplate the possibility of such an event, without a fervent hope that that day may never come. Nor does it become us to boast; the enthusiasm of the platform is easy, and costs little ; and we may be called upon, before very long, to show by something more than words, whether there be steel in our hearts and hands, or not. " But this much I will dare to say. If a foreign foot be planted on our sacred soil—if the ring of the rifle of the Chasseurs de Vincennes be heard upon these shores, ter rible as the first reverses might be, when discipline could be met only by raw enthusiasm—thanks to gentlemen who have taught us the: sublime mysteries of ' capital' in lieu of the old English superstitions of honour and religion— they may yet chance to learn that British chivalry did not breathe her last at Moodkee or Ferozeshah, or Sobraon, or Goojerat, or Meeanee, or Hyderabad. They may yet be taught that there is something beyond the raw hysterics of a transient excitement in the spirit of self-sacrifice which we have learned from our Master's cross. They may yet discover that amongst the artizans, and peasants, and working men of England, there are a thousand thousand worthy to be brothers of those heroic eleven who sleep be neath the rocks of Trukkee, with the red thread of Honour round their wrists." In his addresses on more business-like subjects, a clear and practical sense takes the place of poetic enthusiasm. His remarks on the Early Closing Movement, and on the Improvement of Labourers' Cottages, show a thorough knowledge of human nature and its necessities, and a keen perception of the many ways in which a good purpose may be diverted from its original intention. The two addresses, especially treating of the Mechanics' Institute he was so anxious to assist, are well wor thy of perusal. The first was delivered shortly after the opening of the establishment, which was supported by the working men themselves, and entirely under their management. The second was given on the occasion of a fierce controversy among the members. Some of them were anxious to in troduce into the library the works of Tom Paine and other infidel publications. The others were equally averse to their introduction. Mr. Robert son's address on this occasion is a striking example of the liberality and justice of his judgment He courage and kindness to inform the dying sufferer of his approaching end; and although he was not able to be present with him at last as he had hoped, h could depart with the cheering reflection that he had rendered by his words of solemn assurance,.less awful the dark passage to another world from which the young pilgrim shrank with awe. Little did they think when Edward first warned the in valid, that he himself, who then stood beside him in health and strength, should be the first to walk through the dark valley; but so it was. A sudden illness proved more than be could struggle through, owing to his mind having been very much harassed for some time, which had gradually told upon his health, and his long atendance on Frederick bad undermined his strength. The circumstances which gave rise to his quarrel with his relation, Lord Conyngforcl, are admirably related ; and the final confusion which resulted in Edward's dying with out explanation, and his friend's lifelong remorse and regrets, offers a warning to those suspicious and hasty tempers that rush at conclusions and re fuse to hear the voice of reason until too late. There would be nothing to lament in the premature death of Edward Young were it not that he departed under the impression that he had failed in the ob ject of his life to requite in some degree the debt of gratitude he owed to Lord Conyngford in conse quence of the latter's conduct to his father. How ever, his work was not profitless, although he did not live to sec its fruition. H a d he not exercised a stern control over himself, it was evident that Ellen Scudamore would have soon forgotten her transient feelings towards Lord Conyngford ; and that on the arival of the latter he would have found himself supplanted by his young kinsman in deed, instead of only in thought. Those who are pleased with fine delineations of character, and powerful descriptions of human nature, will find in some of the subjects here presented to their notice ample scope for study. The excitable Ellen affords a strange contrast to the reserve under which Edward concealed his sensitiveness of feelings, and the strong passions which were hid by Lord Conyngford's pride. Peers and Parvenus. A Novel. By Mrs. Gore. A new edition, revised by the author. Uniform with the above, ltliinoirs (y`' a Peeress, by Mrs. Gore. Knight and Son. It must be very satisfactory to novel readers to be enabled to procure the most celebrated novels of this gifted authoress in a cheap form. " Peers and Parvenus" contains much of that piquant satire which is so remarkable in the writings of Mrs. Gore. The mean tricks, the shuffling excuses, the paltry devices to which the manceuvrers and match-makers of socioty resort, are here graphi cally depicted and consummately related. In the " Memoirs of a Peeress" it is a former generation that is presented to our notice, and many may be pleised to possess so brilliant a description, and so vivid a sketch of the remarkable men who rendered their epoch famous, and the domestic life of that day will be seen to be very different from the pre sent style. There is always something attractive in the works of this authoress, but it is certain that in no two others of her numerous productions 'will be found more variety and vigour than in these which are now reproduced in an accep t a bl e manner for the edification of the readers of fiction. THAMES. TDIEVES AND RECEIVERS.—IMPORTANT MAGISTERIAL REMARKS.—Thomas Lloyd, a boy about 13 years of age, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing an iron mooring shackling bolt, weighing about 701b5., the property of the Regent's Canal Dock Company. It appeared that last night the prisoner broke into a car penter's shop in the dock and took out the iron bolt in tended for the mooring of a ship, and was dragging it away when a man named Russell detained him. The pri soner said that he intended to sell the bolt to pay for a night's lodging, or to purchase something to eat. The prisoner impudently said that he did take the iron, and intended to sell it to a marine store dealer in Ratcliff. Mr. Yardley said he did not know whether the prisoner was a pardoned thief, or had been in custody before ; but he certainly was a very cool thief—a most impudent thief, and had committed the robbery with great audacity. The robberies of metal in that district were very extensive, and a great portion of the time of the magistrates had been for some time occupied in the investigation of charges against persons for stealing lead and i ron, and against those pests of society, marine store dealers, for receiving the property. Several marine store dealers had been summarily convicted, and either sent to the treadmill for two or three months or lined. He found by the papers that morning that a notorious receiver, named Still, of Broad-street, Ratcliff, committed. from that court, was convicted yesterday, and sentenced to four y e ars' penal servitud e, for rece i ving lead stolen from and the thief was convicted Messrs. Charringtons' wharf, at the same time. He hoped the conviction of Still would produce a very wholesome and salutary effect. Nothing could be more shocking than the insecurity of certain kinds of property in that district, and th e facility and easiness with which it was disposed of at marine store shops. He sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment and hard labour Two lads, named Allen and Donovan, who wore detected as they were entering a marine store shop, were charged with stealing lead, which they threw at the feet of the con stable who took them into custody. They were old offenders, and Mr. Yardley sentenced them to two months' imprisonment, and hard labour. THIS DAY'S JFfA RXETS. The supply of English wheat in to-day's market was very moderate. For good and fine samples there was a fair demand, at full prices ; but other kinds reeved off slowly, on former terms. _ The amount of business doing in foreign wheat was limited, nevertheless prices were supported, and importers generally were firm in their demands. . . Barley, the show of which was seasonably large, moved off heavily, at the late decline. In malt very little was doing, but no further change took place in prices. We had a moderate sale for oats, at full quotations. Beans, peas, and flour were a slow inquiry, at Monday's currency. ARRIVALS THIS WEER. Wheat. Barley Malt. Oats.
