In the House of Lords last night nothilg of public inte rest occurred. _ _ _ _ I.) the House of Commons the transaction of private busi ness took precedence. Some motions were then postponed atud ethers were withdrawn. Amongst the latter class was WALlAcy's resolution for extending the time of keeping °pet: the General Post receiving offices. Sir If. IlittotNcE aye notice of a motion relative to the af fairs of Spain. . After some conversation as to the time when this and other qne3tions were to come on for discussion, Mr. WARBURTON o'itabied leave to bring hi a Bill to alter the property qualifica tions of Members to serve in Parliament. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER WAS quite ready, for cue, to give his most hearty concurrence to the motion, and even if his opinions were what they were not, and he was dis posed to admit the repeal of all qualification whatever, he would not on that account object to a Bill for the amendment (of the existing law. Mr. LEADER moved an amendment (which he subsequently withdrew) that the property qualification be wholly abolUed. The Army Estimates and the Imprisonment for Debt Bill .engaged the attention of the House till the hour of adjourn ment, one o'clock. We are at a loss to account for the conduct of some Members of Parliament, who would obstruct useful measures brought forward by the Government, and even by men of their 'own party, merely because these measures do not come up to their expectations. Mr. ROEBUCK last niiht protested against a Bill intro 4lueed by Mr. WARBURTON, because it did not go far enough, and asserted that nothing would satisfy him but a Bill which would do away altogether with the present qualification of a Member of Parlia• rent. It would be much better if that were the law, and England were placed on the same footing with Scotland in that respect ; and Mr. WAR BURTON would be as ready as the Hon. Member for Bath to support a proposition to that effect, if he saw any chance of carrying the principle; but at present lie sees none, and like a prudent legislator, and a prac tical man of business, is willing to accept an instal ment. It would just be as absurd for a creditor to re fuse to accept a portion of the amount due to him, as for a legislator to reject a modification of a principle, because he could not establish it in its full extent. Looking at the numbers and power of tlie Aristocra tical party in this country, and the difficulty of rousing the people to act with energy on any but questions of the most vital importance, and which immediately affect their own interests, legislation would, indeed, come to a stand-still, if the all-or-nothing principle were to be obstinately adhered to. A despot may lay this :down as a rule of conduct, and even a Consti tutional Government may be disposed to adopt it, when they can count upon the hearty and de termined support of a vast majority of the community ; but in ordinary times it is utterly im practicable. In periods of great excitement even it ;may be a doubtful policy. Looking at the varied in te,-ests, and feelings, and passions of a great nation, it callitnot be denied that under such circumstances a princVe may be carried too far ; and unless it is established by a momentary impulse or a revolution, ti►e fable may be verified in political, as it often is in private life, and all be lost by the refusal to accept a part. - We blamed the Government of Lord GREY as much as Mr. ROEBUCK could, for consenting to some of the modifications of the Reform Bill, and particularly to the 501. clause ; and however much we should rejoice to see the Ballot established, we would not have risked the vast advantages which that Act has given to the ,Liberal party, for the sake of making it the law of the h nd. Had a certain number of obstinate Members , rm in the House of Commons at that period, and ae f il sed to support the Government unless that principle were adopted, no one can tell what might have been the fate of Reform. Most of the Whigs were against i t . Th e greater portion of the people had hardly turned theiv attention to the subject ; and the Tory party, takin'g advantage of the disunion, would have stepped in, a nd carried a mock Reform Bill of their own. It is it ropossible to impress this too much on the representatives of Liberal constituents. The Tories are only waiting for such disunion among their opponents now, and when that takes place, they will convince the constituents of certain boroughs that :they have no reason to thank their Members for ob structing the Government in the attempt to obtain what at present is impracticable. 'Tie Post-office authorities have wisely resolved that Sett plan, for the future, is to anticipate trouble some - :nv estigations and imperious commands, by mak ing ,•41rly .concessions to public opinion. They have tried their strength with the House of Commons, and have learned, to their cost, that, supported by public opinion, that assembly is too strong for them. When they, therefore, found that the Hon. Member for Greenock was not to be prevented from bringing for ward a motion in the House of Commons, for the re gulation of this and that branch of their public duty, if they themselves neglected it, they began by instructing Mr. LABOUCHERE, that they were willing to keep the General Post Letter Receiving-boxes at all the branch offices open on Sundays. This is a great boon, and we accept it with thanks, because spontaneously ten dered. As Mr. WALLACE'S motion for " keeping the Letter-boxes at the different Receiving Houses in London open till twelve o'clock at night" was only objected to by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER, on the ground of its interference with the du ties of the Executive, we expect that the SECRETARY will take care to prevent the necessity of its re-appear ance on the Order Book of the House of Commons. It might not be expedient to keep the General Re ceiving-boxes open so late as twelve o'clock at night ; but they might be kept open till ten o'clock without trouble or risk of any kind. As for thieves extract ing letters, that might be very easily prevented by a slight alteration in the construction of the boxes. Mr. LABOUCHERE further admitted that it was desirable that there should be a delivery in London on Sunday of all letters from abroad, or from the country ; and that all letters for the country ought not to be detained on Sunday in London—inasmuch as the "nails left London on that day as well as' every other day in the week. These are important Reforms, and the sooner they can be carried into effect the better. But the announcement of their necessity, and of the wish of the Government that they might be conce ded, awakened the indignation of that modern soothsayer of Baal-Peor—Saint ANDREW AGNEW. The Parliamentary Apostle of gloomy cant was on his legs in an instant, to denounce the judgments of Heaven against such Sabbath-breaking-boxes as would receive a letter on Sundays, and such infidel Members of Parliament as would suite them. Mr. WASON :et the House in a roar of laughter, by stating that he had travelled from Stranraer to Glasgow on a Sunday by Saint ANDREW'S two-horse mail coach— a conveyance set up by the pious Baronet for the express purpose of teaching all other coaches and other conveyances how the Sunday ought to be sanctified. We have learned ourselves, from private but authentic sources, that the timber out of which St. A NDREW built his Sabbath-observing vehicle was reared on his own es tate, and that every care had been taken to prevent it from growing on the Sabbath. The building of the coach was altno3t as troublesome a job as the building of Solomon's Temple. Mawworms from all quar ters were invited to sanctify the undertaking with their prayers ; and it is said that for each spoke in the wheels fifty pslams were chaunted in chorus. Never was there such a pions vehicle since that which the five Loris of the Philistines employed to carry the Ark. The horses were a match for the coach ; they would not even eat a mouthful of provender on Sun lay. But ST. ANDREW having the duties of a legis lator to discharge, could not be always at the tails of his horses, or on the top of his coach. His Parlia mentary duties called him away, and no sooner was his back turned than the archfiend took. the coach and horses, and whisked them about at the rate described by Mr. WAsoN. We sympathise with the pious Baronet on the blacksliding of his coach. It is a sore affliction to the godly. But why provoke the ri dicule of the scorner, friend AGNEW? Why constitute that a crime in London which is none in the Pro vinces? The :nail-coaches leave London empty on Sunday mornings, but at nine miles distant they take up all parcels, and thenceforth proceed as on week days. Does the jurisdiction of Heaven, or does the command for observing the Sabbath, extend only nine miles out of town ? And if not, is it not a mockery of the worst kind to sav, that GOD will be displeased with the performance of a necessary work in London which may be innocently done at Barnet ? In another part of our paper will be found copious extracts from the admirable pamphlet, " Will you have your Church repaired ?" which we mentioned a few days ago, as having been published by the Messrs. RIDGWAY. Our readers will, we are sure, agree with us in thinking that it sets the Ministerial plan for abolishing Church-rates, and improving the revenues of the Church in a clear and striking light, and very satisfactorily disposes of the objections which have been made, and are still making, to that plan, by the blind, the bigoted, and the factious. We invite attention to the resolutions adopted on Tuesday last at the General Association of Ireland. They will be found in another column, and cannot fail to excite some share of interest ; for they enunciate not merely the opinion of Mr. O'CONNELL, the leader, but may be regarded as speaking the universal senti ment of the Irish people at large. It will be seen that the support of the present Administration is the para mount object proposed, and if these seasonable and excellent resolutions be acted upon with the unanimous spirit and energy of which Irish constituencies have re cently afforded so many brilliant examples, not less than Ninety Patriots, in the event of a dissolution, will probably be returned to Parliament to support Reform and the MELBOURNE Administration. The Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday have been received. No Cabinet has yet been formed. MOLE failed thrice ; and GUIZOT is now try ing what he can do. The task is a difficult one, for as the public men all know the KING too well to trust him, each insists on pledges which cannot be given. The Chamber of Peers received the Report of MEUNIER'S conspiracy on Wednesday. The trial will proceed with as much rapidity as the forms of the Court will allow. Letters from San Sebastian to the 31st ult. speak of General EVANS'S preparations to take the field. His army is to receive a large reinforcement from Bilboa. From "iViadrid the accounts are to the 28th ult. The capital was then perfectly tranquil. FRENCH FUNDS.-PARIS, APRIL 4. Five per Cents., 107 f. sc. 1001. B?.c. 90c. ti.Z.c.

" We observe by the proceedings of Congress on Saturday, that a memorial from the Directors of the United States Bank was presented relative to the difTeiencel existing between the Government and the Bank. We can merely state that the Directors refuse to give up the claim for damages on the pro tested French drafts ; but are willing to abide a judicial deci bion." In conclusion, they say, " The Board of Directors will now make one final offer to settle—they learn from the printed report of the Secretary-, that the Commissioners would have recommended the following terms of settlement :—To value each share of the Stock at 115 dollars 58 cents, and receive payment for it by equal instalments, payable in September, 1837, 1838, 1839, and 1840, with 6 per cent. interest until paid.

After long deliberation, they have come to the decision yester day afternoon to give their assistance to a first rate American house, who was compelled to apply to them by the recent pressure and great scarcity of money for assistance. This commercial house has proved that it possesses a capital of between three and four hundred thousand pounds of its own, and its com mercial friends have come forward to its assistance.

(Before Justices LITTLEDALE and COLERIDGE. ) MURDER.—Richard Edwards, 21, and John Woodcock, 19, were indicted for the murder of Alexander Nance on the high seas, on the 27th of February last, by striking him with sticks, ropes, &c., and by putting a rope round his neck and dragging him through the sea. Mr. ADOLPIIUS stated the case to the Jury. The former prisoner was captain of a small vessel, which traded between this country and St. Michael's ; the other prisoner was the mate. They carried only the deceased boy and one sailor, and on the voyage in question a poor man was put on board by the British Consul. Those two were the witnesses whom he would call to prove a case of more barbarity than he had ever heard. He called Jeremiah Sullivan, who deposed that the prisoners at the bar acted as Captain and Mate of the ship Ada, which ,sailed from St. Michael's on the 23d of February last. There were altogether six persons on board, including the boy who was killed—he was sixteen years of age, or thereabouts. The boy was in good health when he sailed, but much disfigured about the face and skin. He acted as cook and cabin boy. The prisoners ill-used the boy all along, by beating him with ropes, throwing blocks at him, and towing him overboard. On the morning of the 27th Fe bruary, witness took the wheel at eight o'clock. The pri soner went down to breakfast in the cabin. The Mate re lieved him, and he went forward to the galley and found his coffee-kettle half empty. Witness told the Captain that the boy had either drunk the coffee, or allowed it to boil over. The Captain said, " That is a good towing overboard for you, my man." The Captain took a handspike from the windlass. He went forward with his kettle, and while at breakfast, he heard the boy screeching dreadfully. He looked through the skylight, and saw the boy hanging up at the gaff with his feet up and his head down. The captain and mate were on deck, and an other man, but be did not know which. Witness .finished his breakfast, and then went on deck. The boy was still hang ing in the same position, and from the motion of the vessel his head came against the hoops and sail. The boy, by his own strength got the rope over his legs, and got his head upwards. He had been hanging with his head downwards for about 10 minutes. They were then in a warm latitude. Harley, the other sailor, then lowered him down. The mate sung out to Harley to let the boy lower himself down. When he was lowering himself, either the Captain or Mate ordered him to let go the rope ; had he done so, he would have fallen and been killed. He did not let it go, but when he was near the deck the Mate took the boy and put him over the side into the water. The Captain was on deck. On going over the side the boy held on by the gunnel of the vessel, trying to save himself. The Mate then went over the side and kicked him into the water. He remained there about five minutes, as near as he could judge. The ship was going about three or four knots an hour. When the boy wa.; taken up, the mate threw three or four buckets of water at him while he was in the shrouds. Witness left the deck for about five minutes, and when lie returned:on deck he saw the boy lashed, with a rope yarn on the arms and legs, to the fore rigging. He called upon witness to take him down. He (witness) told the Captain it was a shame for him to keep the boy up there. He said it was none of his business. He told him in the way the boy was disfigured; when they got to Falmouth some of the gentlemen there might play with him ; he answered, " What do I care for them ?" and ordered the witness to go and get the dinner ready. The boy was still in the rigging, and lie was there about an hour. Blood was dropping from the boy's legs and face, and dropped on the galley ; and he told them that he would not go and - get the dinner ready, for he would not come under the boy's blood. The mate took the bellows from him, and told him to go to bed in derision. The boy was still calling upon witness to take him down, but the mate said, and it was repeated by the Captain, that he must remain there until lie sung either a song or a hymn. They boy sung the Sailor's Hymn, and the mate then gave witness his knife to go and release the boy, which he did. The captain told him to take off the trowsers he had on when in the water. He did so, and took his breakfast with the bed clothes around him. Harley carne up, and gave him a drop of rum. The captain covered him with the clothes, and told him to go to sleep. After dinner, the mate said to the captain, we will wake him now, and have a bit of a lark with him. When he got up, the boy went about the decks foolish or staggering. He could not have drank more than one-third of a glass of rum, as the man held it in his hand, arid did not let him take much. He had only two shirts of his own. He had a good jacket and trowsers, but the prisoners would not let him wear them lecause he had thrown away his old ones. He was staggering about the deck, and could not see out of one eye. Witness had two or three rope-yarns in his hand to frighten him from the fire ; he was quite foolish, and witness had never seen him so before. The Captain told him to go and clean the binnacle lamp and sconce for the candle. The Captain smelt burning-, and sent him forward to the fire, where he found the bucket placed close by the fire, and the paint all blistering. It was placed there by the boy, because he did not know what lie was doing. When he found the boy, he found that be had dirtied himself, and was sitting in it. Wit ness called the Captain, who said, " That is a good towing overboard, my man, for you." He then put him down to the lee-side, and made the brace fast round the boy's waist, and called witness to assist him in putting him over the side. Witness refused ; but the boy was put over, and kept in the water about ten minutes. Before he was taken out he was foaming at the mouth, and the whites of his eyes were turned up. Witneis was at the weather side, and heard the captain singing out for some one to assist him in ,taking in the boy, and the passenger came on deck and helped him. It was witness's turn at the wheel from four to six—all which time the boy was lying on the deck, and could nei ther speak nor stand. The mate made him stand up, but he fell again immediately. The mate seized a mop, and beat him with it until the handle came off. The Captain was standing by crying out, "give it him, give it him." The mate continued to beat him over the face, jaws, and back, saying " You b— I will kill you before you get home yet." The mate took him by the leg and dragged him forward. Witness saw him again lying across the windlass bits, groaning heavily. The mate said " I hope that will be the last groaning and sleeping you will have on board this vessel. About eight o'clock when witness again came up, the boy was lying in the same state as before. Then he said to the Captain—"'That boy is in a bad state, he is nearly dead." The Captain said, " Why don't you go and cover him." Wit ness then went forward, and put him in his bed. He could not answer him, and he was as cold as ice all over. The rattles were in his throat. He went to the mate and said, "He is tone for," meaning that he was dead. The captain heard him from the cabin. He went forward again, and thought the boy was getting a little warmer in the skin, and told the mate so. The mate told him to put a dry shirt upon him. While he was doing so, the passenger came up and said the boy was dead, and at the moment he drew his last breath. ' He informed the mate of it ; he came forward, and , the corpse was put down in the forecastle and covered. Witness went to the Captain in the cabin and told him the boy was dead. Ha said he hoped he would recover again. At midnight the mate or dered him to take up the corpse, as they would not sleep along with it. Witness refused, as he had not the heart to do it. The mate and the passenger brought it up, and it lay till 10 o'clock next day, when it was thrown overboard by the passenger and Harley. A lump of coal was tied to the legs to sink it. The passenger refused, till tire Captain read a chapter in the Bible over him, which was done. All this took place on the deep sea, and riot in sight of land. The passenger went first before the Mayor. Next day the Captain said he had a great mind to put the vessel before the wind, and put to sea. The Captain sent witness and Harley on shore, to tell the passenger to come on board. He refused, and the Captain went on shore to him, and said, " You will ruin me;" to which the passen ger said, "It was no more than should be done." They walked about for some time, and the Captain, when close to witness, offered the passenger a sovereign. It was refused. Witness said " Give me the sovereign, perhaps he will take it from me." He did so, and offered it again -to the passenger, saying, " Here, Tom, if the Captain will not allow you the sovereign I will myself." The Captain said he would give another sovereign on the mate's behalf. The passenger was sent home by the Consul, as he had been cast away on the Western Islands, and was very poor. The witness underwent a long cross-examination by Mr. PHILLIPS, who (along with Mr. Clarkson) appeared for the prisoners. Nothing material was elicited which shook the evidence in chief. The cross-examination was not concluded when our Reporter left. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SERJRANT) The Court was occupied this morning with the trial of Mint cases, and the following prisoners were severally convicted of having in their possession or uttering counterfeit coin : William Calpe, Noah Aaron, and Harriet Taylor, Henry Clarke, George Parker, George Jones, and Mary Richardson, Thomas Harvey, John Nelson, Catherine Connell, James Donovan, and Mary Flanagan. None of the cases were pos sessed of the slightest interest. Lord Denman has been passing the Easter holydays at his seat in Derbyshire. The young Duke of Roxburgh, on attaining his majority, on the 16th July next, will come into the possession of an unencumbered estate of 16,0001. per:annum ; his Grace, will, however, eventually inherit the extensive estates of his relative, Mary, Dowager Duchess of Roxburgh, relict of Wil liam, fourth Duke, and re-married to the late Hon. John Tolle mache. The estates bequeathed to the Duchess by the fourth Duke, who died in 1805, are of the estimated value of 12,000/. per annum, which will descend to the present Duke on her de cease. The Dukedom of Roxburgh was in abeyance from 1805 to 1812, when the titles were decreed to Sir James limes, father of the present Duke, son and heir of Sir Harry Innes, Bart. ABEL ALLNUTT, BY THE AUTHOR OF " 11.1JJI BABAV,—What next ? Is not the author of " Hajji Uaba " satisfied with giving us the most perfect and entertain ing: picture of the East and Oriental feelings, customs, and manners, that he must break into the preserves of the best de scribers of English characters and society. Abel Al/nut, his new story, is more near to the " Vicar of Wakefield" than any novel we can call to mind since the epoch of that, the first of its class. The story is of a good and simple family, the Allnuts, brought to ruin by a speculative and projecting head, and the failure of a joint stock bubble. The first volume paints them in a sweet coun try retreat ; the second in London, in jeopardy and wretched ness ; and the last, with some incidental notes of foreign travel, winds up the tangled web. In all there are original and well-conceived characters; and sketches of circumstances sufficiently of the world to be likely and natural, and yet so wrought as to possess the interest we expect from imagination. We most heartily recommend " Abel Allnutt" to the public." —Literary Gazette. LITERATURE. MODERN INDIA. 4 Vols. Whittaker, London, 1837. Many portions of this work read more like romance than reality ; if however the facts stated by the author, Dr. Spry, be authentic, then we can only shrug our shoulders, and exclaim with Lord Byron, " truth is strange, stranger than fiction." It is but very recently that we became aware of the existence of the Thugs in India ; and 10, here, is another marvel, being neither more nor less than the discovery, in the eastern part of Bengal, of a race of native Cannibals who live, like squirrels, in the trees I We subjoin Dr. Spry's sketch of these unaccountable vagabonds : " The pursuit of wild elephants, among the blue mountains, in the direction of Ave, has brought us acquainted with a race of Cannibals scarcely to be distinguished from the monkeys with which they herd. The Kokees, as these brutal wretches are called, have, according to the account afforded me by Major Gairdner, protuberant bellies; they are low in stature, with set features, and muscular limbs. They speak a dialect peculiar to themselves, and build their villages on the boughs of the forest trees. They do not appear to have any settled abiding place, but wander in herds from one wilderness to ano ther. When a site favourable to their purpose has been found, the whole community immediately set to work to collect bam boos and branches of trees, which are afterwards fashioned into platforms, and placed across the lofty boughs of the diffe,rot trees. On this foundation the rude grass superstructure is raised which forms the hut. When these sheds are completed, and every family provided with a habitation, the women and children are taken into their aerial abodes. The men then lop off all the branches within reach of the ground, and having constructed for themselves a rough ladder of bamboos, they as cend the trees by means of this rude stair-case, drawing it up after them to prevent the intrusion of strangers, and a neces sary precaution against the encroachments of their four-footed companions of the forest. In this manner they repose, floating in the branches, and cradled by the wind, partaking more of the savage ferocity of brutes than the milder charities of men."' This is nearly.as astounding as Gulliver's account of the flying islanders. A whole village swinging in the wind, among the branches of forest trees T. We have often heard tell of the discovery of a " mare's nest," but the discovery of a man's nest is more startling still. A day's shooting among these forests would be capital sport for a phila►►thropist ; for he would not put up his game by covies, but by villages. Conceive him bagging half a hamlet of black, unfea thered rooks ; and sending a brace or two to some par ticular sporting acquaintance in Bengal I But not only do these Kookees reside in trees, but they are also Can nibals of the first water. The haunch or sirloin of a fat Sepoy is a delicacy of which they are as fond, as ever was Sir William Curtis of turtle soup. " They openly boast," says Dr. Spry, " Of their feats of cannibalism, showing with the strongest expressions of satisfaction, the bones of their fellow-creatures who have fallen a prey to their horrible appetites. So intent are they in their search after human flesh, that the superin tendent was always obliged to send out the men employed in hunting the elephants armed with muskets, and in not fewer than parties of ten. One poor man they unfortunately caught while off his guard, and devoured him, almost before his life blood had congealed in his veins. Attempts have been made to subdue and civilize these people, and one of their head men was won over, and employed by Major Gairdner at the elephant depot, but he could not be induced to relinquish his old habits. In a short time he was detected in the commission of a murder, and was executed by the civil authorities of Chittagong. These people, strange as it may appear, are living within 150 miles of Calcutta, the metropolis of British India and the seat of Go vernment, and yet their existence even is scarcely known by the people who are not in authority, comparatively little informl tion from the woods and jungles 9f the savage portions of Ben gal finding its way to the Calcutta newspapers." As this account of the Kookees appears well authen ticated, we suppose we must place faith in it ; we must honestly confess however, that it is, without exception, the toughest mouthful we ever swallowed. There are many other curious particulars in Dr. Spry's book, which is full of incident, and shows the author to be a shrewd, enterprising, and inquisitive traveller. WORDSWORTH'S POEMS. VOL. V. VI. Moxon, London, 1837. In this cheap, commodious, and elegant edition, we have all Mr. Wordsworth's poetical works, including even the " Excursion," which the Edinburgh Review, it may be remembered, declared, many years since, " would never do." How utterly fallacious was that opinion, is here proved by the republication of that poem. The great merit of the " Excursion" is that it sets its readers thinking. It feeds their minds ; and the nutriment it affords is of the most wholesome kind. It has no incident or melodramatic sur prises ; nothing of an ad captandum character ; but appeals solely to the unclouded reason. The lan guage is occasionally verbose and inflated ; and the ideas abstruse, but they are always worth pondering upon. But it is in his sonnets that Mr. Wordsworth most excels. Here he is in his element, and frequently comprises within the short compass of fourteen lines more subtle and profound thought than is to be found in volumes. " Whose mind is but the mind of his own eyes, He is a slave, the meanest we can meet," is but one impressive idea in a sonnet, whose every line is a pearl of inestimable value. EVENINGS WITH CAMBACERES. Vor. I. Colburn, London; 1 837. Prince Cambaceres was, it is well known, high in favour with Napoleon during the palmy days of the empire. Though he never ranked very high as a statesman, yet he did much to promote his master's interests by his conciliatory manners, his festive tem perament, and more especially, by the capital table he kept. Cambaceres knew well the importance of a good dinner, and gained many adherents to the Em peror, solely by his exemplary sauces, one of which was pronounced by a competent judge to be so super lative, that a man might eat his own grandmother with it The present volume contains some of the Prince's recollections of Napoleon, and of those frightful characters who figured during the Reign of Terror. The anecdotes are for the most part new, and full of the deepest interest, for they refer to the chief actors during a period that the world will never forget, or ever recall without a shudder. Cambaceres is a capital story-teller ; he hits it off with infinite unc tion, in the most sententious and epigrammatic manner. In the volume before us, Napoleon, who is his great hero, figures to considerable advantage, as the follow ing anecdote will show. The work is full of such, and contains, besides, many revelations little inferior in interest to those contained in the famous << Voice from St. Helena." " Count d'Orsenne one day accompanied the Emperor on a reconoitering excursion. The Emperor had been complain ing of thirst, and some one seeing a vivandiere, or suttler woman, at a little distance, called to her. The woman did not know Napoleon, or any of his escort. She gave the Em peror a glass of spring water mixed with a little brandy, and then curtsied for payment. " There, my good woman„ said Napoleon, pointing to Count d'Orsenne, 'there is the Emperor, ask him for the money. He pays for us all.' " 'the vivarictiere blushed, and looked embarrassed ; then, turning to the Count, she scanned his splendid uniform with the eye of a connoisseur, and said : " ' He I pooh nonsense ! Do you think I am fool enough to believe that. The Emperor is not such a coxcomb. You, Sir, look much more like him yourself.' " The Emperor was much amused at this remark, and he gave the woman a double louis. " Count Daru, who was one of the party on the evening when Prince Cambaceres related the above anecdote said : " Your amusing story, Monseigneur, reminds me of another also relating to one of those camp-following nymphs, called vivandieres. You know how carefully the Emperor preserved his incognito when he was with the army. It was well that he did so ; for he frequently ventured into places where, had he been known, he would have incurred the greatest risks. Du ring one of the campaigns in Germany, the Emperor, wrapped in his celebrated grey great coat, was riding about in the en virons of Munich, attended only by two orderly officers. Ile met on the road a very pretty looking female, who, by her dress, was evidently a vivandiere. She was weeping and was leading, by the hand, a little boy, about five years of age. Struck by the beauty of the woman and her distress, the Em peror pulled up his horse by the road-side, and said : What is the matter with you, my dear ?' " The woman, not knowing the individual by whom she was addressed, and being much discomposed by grief, made no re ply. The little boy, however, was mere communicative, and he frankly answered : " ' My m o th er i s cry i ng, Sir, because my father has beat her.' Where is your father ?' " Close by here. He is one of the sentinels on duty with the baggage.' " The Emperor again addressed himself to the woman and inquired the name of her husband ; but she refused to tell, be ing fearful lest the Captain, as she supposed the Emperor to be, would cause her husband to be punished. Napoleon, I am sorry to say, had but little confidence in the fair sex. On this occasion, his habitual suspicions occurred to his mind, and he said : " Malpeste your husband has been beating you ; you are weeping, and yet you are so afraid of getting him into trouble that you will not even tell me his name. This is very in consistent ! May it not be that you are a little in fault your self?' " Alas, Captain ! he has a thousand good qualities, though he has one very bad one—he is jealous—terribly jealous ; and when he gets into a passion, he cannot restrain his violence.' " But that is rather serious; in one of his fits of jealousy, he may inflict on you some some severe injury—perhaps kill you.' " And, even if he did, I should not wish any harm to come to him ; for lam sure he would not do it wilfully. He loves me too well for that.' And, if I guess rightly, you love him.' 4" That is very natural, Captain; he is my lawful husband and the father of my dear boy " So saying, she fondly kissed her child, who, by the way in which he returned her caresses, proved his affection for hit mother. Napoleon was moved by this touching picture, it spite of the heart of iron, of marble, or of adamant, which htu so often been allotted to him. ♦Nell' said he, again turning to the woman, whether you and your husband love each other or not, I do not chose that he should beat you—l am—l am one of the Emperor's aides de-camp, and I will mention the affair to his Majesty—tell MI your husband's name 1' " ' If you were the Emperor himself, I would not tell it you for I know he would be punished.' " Silly woman ! All I want is to teach him to behave wet to you, and to treat you with the respect you deserve.' That would make me very happy, Captain ; but, thougl he ill treats me, I will not get him punished.' The Emperor shrugged his shoulders, made some remarl upon female obstinacy, and galloped off. " When he was out of the woman's hearing, he said to th, officers who accompanied him : " Well, gentlemen 1 what do you think of that affectionate creature ? There are not many such women at the Tuileries A wife like that is a treasure to her husband.' " In the course of a few minutes, the baggage, of which thi boy had spoken came up. It was escorted by a company c the 52nd. Napoleon despatched one of the officers, who wa riding with him, to desire the commander of the escort to corn, to him. " ' Have you a vivandiere in your company ?' " Yes, Sire,' replied the Captain. " ' Has she a child ?' " Yes, little Gentil, whom we are all so fond of.' " Has not the woman been beaten by her husband? " ' I was not aware of the circumstance, till sometime afte its occurrence. I have reprimanded the man.' " Is he generally well conducted ?' " He is the best behaved man in the company. He is ver: jealous of his wife, but without reason. The woman's conduc is irreproachable.' " Does he know me by sight ?' ." I cannot say, Sire—but, as he has just arrived from Spain I think it is probable he does not.' "' Try and ascertain whether he has ever seen me, and i he has not, bring him hither. Say you wish to conduct him be fore the General of the division.' " On inquiry, it appeared that Napoleon had never bees seen by the grenadier, who was a very fine looking man about five and twenty. When ho was conducted to Napoleon the latter said in a familiar tone : " What is the reason, my lad, that you beat your wife: She is a young and pretty woman ; and is a better wife that you are a husband. Such conduct is disgraceful in a Frenel grenadier.' " Bah, General ! if women are to be believed, they are never in the wrong. I have forbidden my wife to talk to an; man whatever ; and yet, in spite of my commands, I find he constantly gossiping with one or other of my comrades.' " Now, there is your mistake. You want to prevent woman from talking —you might as well try to turn the course of the Danube. Take my advice; do not be jealous. Le your wife gossip and be merry. If she were doing wrong, i is likely she would be sad instead of gay. Your comrades ar not absolutely capuchins ; but I am much mistaken if they wil not respect another man's wife. I desire that you do no strike your wife again ; and, if my order be not obeyed, th Emperor shall hear of it. Suppose his Majesty were to give you a reprimand, what would you say then ?' " Ma foi 1 General, my wife is mine, and I may beat he if I choose. I should say to the Emperor : Sire, look you t, the enemy, and leave me to manage my wife.' " Napoleon laughed, and said : My good fellow, you ar now speaking to the Emperor.' " The word produced its usual magical effect. The grena dier looked confused, held down his head, lowered his voice and said : " Oh, Sire that quite alters the case. Since your Ma jesty commands, I of course obey.' " That's right. I hear an excellent character of your wife Every body speaks well of her. She braved my displeasure rather than expose you to punishment. Reward her by kini treatment. I promote you to the rank of sergeant, and, wh! you arrive at Munich, apply to the Grand Marechal du Palai and he will present you with four hundred francs. With ths you may buy a settler's caravan, which will enable your wif to carry on a profitable business. Your son is a fine boy, an and at some future time he shall be provided for. But mind never let me hear of your beating your wife again. If Idc you shall find that I can deal hard blows as well as you.' " Ah, Sire ! I can never be sufficiently grateful for yen kindness.' " Two or three years after this circumstance, the Ernpere was with the army in another campaign. Napoleon, yo know, has a wonderful power of recollecting the countenance of persons whom he has once seen. On one of bis marche he met and recognised the vivandiere and her son. Ho im mediately rode up to her, saying : " Well, my good woman, how do you do ? Has your hus band kept the promise lie made to me ?' " The poor woman burst into tears, and threw herself he Emperor's feet. '6 Oh, Sire Oh, Sire Since my good star led me int the gracious presence of your Majesty, I have been the hal piest of women.' " ' Then reward me by being the most virtuous of wives.' " A few pieces of gold were presented with these words and, as Napoleon rode off, the cries of ' vive l'Empereur P ul tered amidst tears and sobs by the mother and her son, were et thusiastically repeated by the whole battalion. LARDNER'S CYCLOFIEDIA. No. 89. Longman, London, 1837. The present Number of this Miscellany forms tl fourth volume of the Lives of the most eminent foreig Statesmen. It is the production of Mr. James, Or of the most indefatigable writers of the day ; and amon other memoirs, contains one of Cardinal Alberon which is penned in a discriminating and impartig spirit. On the character of the famous Duke de Rill perda, Mr. James is, we think, unnecessarily se ver( especially when he charges him with " want of grail deur and comprehensiveness of mind." That he se crificed principle to ambition, is true ; true also that h was apt to be " dishonest in his promises ;" but hi intellect was of the highest order, and his politic' ) views far-sighted to a degree, nearly equal to those ° Colbert. Had Ripperda's sense of honour been aqua to his sagacity, he would have been the most influen tial, as he was the most notorious, public character 0 his age and country.
