TO THE EDITOR. OF THE SUN.

Lord ELDoN, when Lord Chancellor, had upon one occasion a most difficult case before him for de cision. Two persons, one of whom was entitled to consi derable proper►y if he survived the other, were passengers on beard the same vessel, which was unfortunately wrecked, and all on board perished. The question was, which of the two survived the other; and to determine this, there was not a scintilla of evidence. His Lordship more than once mentioned the case in Court, and lamented the embarrassment he was in respecting it, but we never heard whether he actually gave judgment upon it,—Dublin Evening Mail.

The " Almanack of Genealogies" for the year 1830, contains the following article :—" The son of NAPOLEON, born the 20th March, 1811. When, in 1815, the Congress of Vienna had decided that the son of NAPO LEON could never be the Sovereign of any country whatever, his grandfather, the Emperor of Austria, FRANCIS 1., con ferred on him a donation of lands, and destined to that purpose a quantity of allodial, or free land, in Bohemia, producing an annual revenue of 400,000 florins. The Lordship of Reichstadt was, moreover, raised to a Duke dom. The Dukedom, under the paramount Lordship of Bohemia, became the majorate of the son of Narommx, who, • in 1828, received the title of Duke of Reichstadt, and tanked immediately after the Princes of the Imperial family."—Journal du Commerce. THE SULTAN MAHMOUD.—The rage of the SULTAN for innovations, and an assimilation (so un orthodox in a MussuMinn) to European habits and Chris tian observances, is by some traced to his French extrac tion. It may not be generally known that the mother of MAIIMOUD was a fascinating brunette, a native of Cher bong, in France, who, by some of the very common occurrences in the piratical seas of the Mediterra nean, failing into the hands of the Turks, even tually became an inmate of the Seraglio. From her great beauty and attractions she was elevated to the rank of favourite Sultana, and became the mother of the present SULTAN. It is reported of him that lie was devotedly attached to his mother, and it is supposed that from her instruction he imbibed that taste for Europeanistn, his avowal of which has so often threatened his own life, and at length neatly cost him his empire. On her death bed his mother obtained from him a promise that he would send her jewels, and other personal valuables, to her French relatives at Cherbourg. Not long ago two ships entered the port of Cherbourg, laden with these articles, and rich presents from the SULTAN, to the individuals designated by the late SULTANA as her kindred. TAXES.—'faxes upon every article which enters into the mouth, or covers the back, or is placed under the foot : taxes upon everything which is pleasant to hear, see, feel, smell, and taste ; taxes upon warmth, light, and locomotion taxes on everything in the earth, or the waters under the earth—on everything that comes from abroad, or is grown at home; taxes on the raw material ; taxes on every fresh value that is added to it by the in dustry of man ; taxes on the sauce that pampers the rich man's appetite, and the drug that restores him to health ; on the ermine that decorates the judge and the rope that hangs the ct intinal ; pn the poor man's tobacco, the rich man's spice ; on the brass nails of the coffin and the i • bands of the bride ; at bed or board, couchant or levant, we must pay. The schoolboy whips his taxed top ; the beardless youth manages his taxed horse, with a taxed bridle, pn a taxed road ; and the dying Englishman, pour ing his medicine which has paid seven per cent., into a spoon which has paid 22 pee cent., makes his will on a❑ eight-pound stamp, and expires in the arms of an apothe cary who has paid a licence of 100/. for the privilege of putting him to death. His whole property is then taxed immediately, from two to ten per eent. Besides the pro bate of his will, large fees are demanded for burying him in the chancel ; his virtues ate handed down to posterity on taxed marble, and he is gathered to his fathers—to be taxed no 11191e.--.Eclinburyli Review. FINE ARTS. SCRAPS AND SKETCHEs, (;. UIKSHA.N We have just been favOyrc‘.l with a l! second series of these initniahle sketches, whic, not withstanding his previous successes in the same department of art, clearly prove . that Mr. Cruik shank's powers of invention are still uuexhausted. As a spirited caricaturist, who, in addition to his mirth-moving faculty of exaggeration, possesses A profound knowledge of modern life and man ners, we know no artist of the present day su perior, or even equal to, this gentleman. He is :he Hogarth of the nineteenth century, and like his illustmiaus predecessor, brings to all his illus trations a caustic and masculine, though gro tesque and somewhat fanciful spirit of ridicule. His caricatures too, even in their most exag f.erated style of humour, have generally the sin gular advantage of pointing a tale, or inculcating a homily, in proof of which we may adduce his " Gin-shop " in the present series of his " Sketches," which, though it comes somewhat presumptuously in comparison with Hogarth's Gin-lane," will scarcely lose by the com parison. The conception of this masterly illustration is spirited, versatile, and we may even add original. The female figure who presents the horrid draught is appropriately represented by a skeleton attired in the mask of beauty ; the wretched crea•ures who receive it at her hands are in the last stage of destitution, their arms flaccid and trembling, their features paralysed, their eyes bleared and sunken, and their tont ensemble disgusting, degraded, and piti able, to a degree that makes the spectator shud der. This part of the sketch, together with that of the infant children whose size only betrays babyhood, while in their countenances a strange and awful old age is manifest, is hit off with surprising power. Nor must we omit the fanci ful, but impressive, furniture and decorations of this detestable hell. The spirit casks hung up round the shop are fashioned like coffins ; the vaults where the liquors are manufactured, or rather adulterated, are represented by graves, over which a cauldron, surmounted by a Death's head, is seething, while fiends stand sneer- ing round it ; and the watchman who enters, to see that all is right within, is Death himself, chuckling over his destined victims. We re commend this vigorous and imposing caricature, in which, hov% ever, there is more matter for sadness than mirth, to the notice of our readers; it abounds in invention, and is worth a thousand of Air. Ir ving's maniacal lamentations. " Church and State is a capital bit of sarcasm, and is perti nently (the Bishop of Ferns might, perhaps say, impertinently) enough represented by two or three jolly fellows seated over a good dinner, the merits of which it is quite manifest that they know how to appreciate. The venerable and ex uberantly-wigged churchman, who is smacking his lips over a glass of wine at the head of the table, looks the very incarnation of orthodoxy ; the blessings of the tythe-system are manifest in his goodly circumference ; pluralities twinkle in his merry moist eyes ; " no Popery " curls his lip into something almost intellectual enough for a sneer ; and sixteen thousand a year betrays itself in the reverential* demeanour of his companions, one of whom, we regret to add, seems far gone in that state, which the unin spired of the earth—who have no notion in what strange and various ways the spirit of orthodoxy at times condescends to reveal itself—have agreed to call drunkenness. "An Unthankful Fellow" is an irresistibly humorous caricature. A man in the stocks, during a hard shower, is ex postulating with a fat beadle,—button-nosed, great•coated, and umbrella'd,—who most consi derately twits him with ingratitude in being so re gardless of the parochial generosity, which has sup plied him with board, lodging, and washing gratis. The face of the prisoner is deprecatory, his affair of honour with the stocks having evidently dis agreed with his constitution. " Corporal Pu nishment," a fat man sweltering up a hill on a summer's day, with the sun full in his face, and the wind at a perfect stand still, speaks for itself. It is quite punishment enough for a fat man even to look at it. The remaining illustrations, four in number, are equally clever in their way ; unfortunately, however, our very contracted limits prevent us from alluding to them otherwise than in these general terms of praise. THE HOLY FAMILY. Sir Joshua Reynolds's fine picture of the Holy Family, for which the British Institution gave, some time since, the enormous sum of 2,000 guineas, has just been engraved by a gen tleman named Walker, in a style that reflects great credit on his delicacy and correctness of execution. The engraving is of course on a considerably reduced seale, but even with this disadvantage preserves all the prominent peculia rities of the original. The exquisite grace of Sir Joshua's grouping of the figures is in parti cular well sustained, as also the expression of the female's countenance, which, however, in the original is imbued with any thing but superior sanctity. In fact, the painting is no more a re presentative of a Holy, than it is of an Infidel Family ; it is the exquisite finish of the colour ing, and the judicious disposition of the lights and shades, that alone render it an object of ad- miration to the world. In some districts in the country the small-pox has lately been so very virulent, that persons who had it naturally have taken it again. There have been instance' also of individuals vaccinated having taken the loathsome complaint, but it was mild and onattend,ed with danger. It is now recommended by the faculty to those who were vaccinated seven years ago, or more, to undergo vaccination again, as a sure preventive against the small-pox. PEMBROKE DOCK, NOV.

Norwich - q - . ' the at/ileaof factinU W Sothsts in the Journals of • .t e e %." i France, the speech of a small German Prince to his assembled States, which appears in the same journals, reminds us how steadily and how calmly constitutional improvements are advancing on the other side of the Rhine. The Grand Duke of Hesse Darmstadt opened the legislative s !qsion of his small duchy on the 3d instant, with an ad- dress, which must have appeared extremely touching as well as gratifying to his auditors.— The fists which it announces arc not of a kiod to figure on the grand political stage of Europe, or to compose incidents in its agitating drama ; but they spread a feeling of confidence and :-e -eurity over a considerable population, and extend happiness to many an industrious family. The old Grand Duke speaks of improvements which he had begun forty years ago, and the length of his patriarchal reign was forcibly recalled by the sympathy which he bespoke for the dea h of his consort, with whom he had been united for 53 years. The message which he announced tc, his people was one of increasing industry.— . Z growing prosperity,—of rigid economy,--of di minished charges, and improving revenue,---4 conventions for the benefit of trade, and publil works for preventing inundations. Nothing can be more gratifying than to witness these appeJli to public approbation, even where it is sure to be gained, and these confiding communications between rulers and people, even where the t,b jects of deliberation are too unimportant to create: any apprehension of a political schism.—Mid, The Gazette de France of Tuesday contains an article pregnant with important meaning in the present situation of French affairs. It be gins by ascribing what it calls the present Otis orders of France to the prejudices spread by ti'e Liberals, and accredited by a party of the Royalists, respecting the pretexts of revointon. By means of the latter, it is alleged a largo hody of well-intentioned persons were seduced into the ranks of the revolutionary faction, and a Cham ber was formed which was not calculated to exe press the feelings or to provide for the waits of the country. This Chamber—the offspsing of' violent antipathies against the Villein Adminiss tration—was always ready to oppose and to calumniate the authorities of the State, and pre sented a majority, on all occasions, to answer hostile passions. The King having seen the impossibility of a neutral Ministry, it is said, has decided in favour of a system which, uncon nected with personal divisions, and founded on the principles of representative monamrelly, is likely to draw the majority of the Cham bers to the consideration of the true interests of France. It remains now to be seen whether the lower Chamber will avail itself of the only means of safety left, and triumph over the ori ginal vices of its formation, or undergo the fate of every institution which depends for its sup port upon fiction and prejudice. In the latter alternative, the question of the Royal prerogee tive will be transferred from the present Cham ber to the Electoral Colleges, which will thus have an opportunity of deciding whether they will again intrust the management of their affairs to representatives who passed from side to side, who tore the Charter to pieces during the ICO days, and fought against Bourbons in Guyemu and La Vendee. Such is an outline of the article contained in this Ministerial Journal ; and no terms could express more clearly the reso lution of the King to maintain his Mini s!ers, and the determination of his Ministees to dissolve the Chambers, should a majority of the Deputies declare against them. The parties interested know better, of course, than foreigners, the chances of success or failure at tendant upon any experiment of this kind. They must he best acquainted, through their prefects and local agents, with the tendency of p u bli c opinion and the weight of Government s u fl u e enee. They must be best able to estimate the effect of the revolutionary alarms which they can excite,—of the warnings against liberalism which they . can spread,—of the tranquillizing assur ances which they can invent, or of the means of corruption which they can employ, But their ' opponents pretenni to know all these resources of Ministerial power as well as they, and we may qppeal to the result of M. de Villele's experiment ' to show their probability of failure. The truth is, that no party, so far as public opinion is indicated through the press of France, seems desirous of en. barking in any plans of anarchy or disorgan : zation ; but, at the same time, the great msss e of the edu cated classes appear resolved S-e assert their rights even at the hazard of Pr's - yoking the Government to measures subqrsive of constitutional order.— The eiccizral colleges, so far .as their temper C2II be inferred from their recent proceedings, or from the opinion of that public of which they form so important a part, seem more resolute than ever to return Liberal Deputies ; and if. such Deputies again form the majority of the Chamber, the Crown must dismiss its Ministers, or commence that course of revolutionary vio lence which it pretends to dread. In this latter ease, the tremendous risks as well as the enor mous guilt of the experiment must fall upon those who attempt eueroachmentss on establisle e il order, and not on those who ensteinsou): to main tain it.—.;bitt. We refer our readers to our report of the pro ceedings at the dinner given yesterday at Maid -ward the Earl of Maid stone to Sir E`? - ward has again appeared on the scene ; but we cannot say that his head has gained much from the contemplations to which he has de voted himself in his retirement. He eulogized Sir Edward Knatchbull for a thorough know ledge of the principles of the late Constitution ; from which we might infer that his Lordship considered we were no longer under a Const;nus tion. But hardly were the words spoken when we heard hint inveighing* against " the violent threats of a faction, which at this very moment is threatening to overturn the liberties of the country." What ! Our liberties have then sur vived our late Protestant Constitution .! Well, it is at all events sonee consolation for the loss of a Constitution that our liberties are left us. Some neople may think that his Lordshims might have adduced the example of his own. pail) , as a proof' that there is no want of licentiousness as well as liberty among us. About two hundred and fifty gentlemen of Kent attended. Sir Edward is, we believe, popular as an attentive member and alale man of business ; but in this counts: lersonal character always goes a great way, it would be hardly fair to set down all time two hundred and fifty as Bronswickers. They had all the zeal, howevee, to, themselves ; for tho population of the Eeighbo,urhood have already forgotten the its. Constitution. The Protestant zea l 0. . f K ee st has greatly cooled in a few months. Another sort of zeal is springing up connected with a certain Tax called Tithe; which certain from the Memoirs. of proceedings in Leiand will serve to increase,— Morizirtes CAronide. It was but th e o th er d ay we quoted a passage efferson, in which he boasted O s the great superiority of the common People of; America ()yet' the conmion people of SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The accounts received within these few days relative to the affairs of Mexico, having excited some interest, if not alarm, amongst the friends of Spanish American independence, we deem it desirable to sta'e the following particulars, com municated from quarters in the highest degree respectable :—ln the first place, the Emulous packet, which arrived on Thursday last from Vera Cruz, which place she left on the 6th of September, brought no news from the seat of hostilities, at Tampico, of a date more recent than the 30th of August ; whereas the accounts which were published several days ago, and which contained Santa Anna's despatches, de tailing his brave and successful attack upon the garrison of Tampico, were brought in the Matilda by the way of Baltimore and New York, which vessel left Tampico on the Ist of September, two days after the Emulous. The first arrival in this country, therefore, brought the latest news. By the Emulous we were told, in Vera Cruz letters, that Barradas " was in possesssion of Altemira," a long day's march up the country from Tampico; whereas, Santa Anna's official bulletin of more recent date, and which -arrived by the Matilda, had previously announced to us that Barradas had been forced to abandon Altemira, from the necessity of defending Tampico itself, which he just reached at the critical moment when his garrison had actually capitulated, and was about to deliver up its arms and the town. Santa Anna's despatch, therefore, is the last au thentic intelligence which has reached London of the authentic military occurrences at Tampico. As for the rumours about the Mexicans desert ing, the force of " 3,000 effective men" under Barradas, and so forth, we understand it rests on no credible authority ; but, on the contrary, there never was displayed more zeal or unani mity among the Spanish Americans against the troops of Ferdinand since the very beginning of their resistance to the Sp nish yoke. The de lay in bringing forward an efficient force to repel the invaders is accounted for as follows :—First, the Mexicans, not having the least idea on what part of their extensive coast the expedition was likely to disembark, had not felt it prudent to concentrate their troops in any given point ; and thus Tampico, as being a position most abso lutely useless to an invader, and least calculated on by the Mexican Government as the seat of warfare, was left without a garrison. Next, the country is of such vast extent, the roads so im perfect, and this being the season of the inunda tions, when roads always bad had become almost impassable, it was necessary, since Vera Cruz and Campeachy could not be left without con siderable garrisons, to draw regiments from the interior, and from distances which the mili tary men of Europe are scarcely ever called upon to traverse. We may judge what time must elapse in such a country, before any for midable force could have been collected, when the greater portion of them had to march many hundred miles to the neighbourhood of Tam pico. • It is not very surprising, therefore, that Santa Anna had hut a feeble detachment under his command on the 29th and 30th of August,' within one month of the invasion, during which period no troops could have moved above 300 miles. Reinforcements, however, we have been assured, were advancing from many points to support the above-mentioned General. On the 9th of August, 1,400 cavalry and 1,600 infantry left St. Luis de Potosi. On the 10th there moved from the same city the battalion of Gua najuato (placed on active service), and General Vahlividio. On the 17th there arrived at Aguacallan the regiment of Mextillan ; and the Ist battalion of Mexican militia, with the 3d regiment of regular cavalry, were expected im mediately after. Colonel Montezuma was with his division, on the 16th of August, at Maiz. On the 20th of August, the 10th regiment of the line, and 300 infantry of the local militia, marched for the scene of action from St, Luis. As for the statement made with such coolness in some quarters, that a second expedition of V,OOO men had actually sailed from the Havan nah, we can only affirm that w•e have seen a let; ter from official persons at the liavann4h to a commercial house here of the very highest respec tability, and dated on the day of the last vessel's departure from that place, containing this deci sive sentence :—" There is hardly a word said here about sending off reinforcements to General
