Law Society's Hall, October, 1846. ROBERT MAUGHAIii, Secretary. LITERATURE. THE QUARTERLY REVIEW. No. CLVI. Carrying out the principle that extremes meet, the commencement and the conclusion of the present number constitute its chief attraction. In the first article we are afforded a very interesting retrospect of the origin and prosecution of the " Fortifications of Paris;" in the last article the reviewer obliges the world with some additional observations upon the " Close of Sir Robert Peel's Administration." Upon the former theme we cannot reflect for a single moment without entertaining sentiments of the deepest sorrow, and, to a certain extent, of absolute humiliation. What might not have been the condition of France at this moment, supposing those fortifications to have been in existence during the past two centuries ? Might not the shackles of feudality have still debased her population ? Might not her citizens have still been liable to an endless incarceration at the will of some arbitrary sovereign, by the signature of a lettre de cachet? Might not the rights of property have been still rendered precarious by confiscation, and the national revenues have been still sustained by the infliction of despotic im posts ? Had Paris been girdled by those massive battlements, and tiveatened with 2,188 pieces of heavy ordnance awl/ 120 field guns, is it possible that ,Delaunay would have been compelled to yield the Bastille ? Would the mob have been able so readily to reach the tennis-court of Versailles in 1789, and to drag Louis XVI. into the capital in that bacchanalian triumph which was inaugurative of their emancipation ? Would not Lafayette, instead of pleading at the bar of the Assembly for the resti tution of what he designated the constitutional powers to the monarch, would he not rather have marched direct upon the metropolis at the head of his legions and have battered their chimney-pots about the ears of the Parisians ? It is from the considera tion of these facts, from a knowledge that anything like a successful-combat against a feudal despotism, or a confederated oligarchy, in the event of either of those malign authorities having been armed origi nally with such repressive instruments as these fortifications, that we reflect upon their foundation and completion with such unmitti gated sorrow. It is because we are persuaded that such an auxiliary might, in 1791, have rendered the royal confederates of Pilnitz triumphant, because we conceive it might have tended to the yet more signal debasement of the tiers etat, because, in fine, in those fortifications we recognise the antagonism of the grandest struggle for the attainment of constitu tional liberty ever adventured in civilised times, that we are disposed to lament the extraordinary struc tures so recently raised round the Fremh capital. Those embattlements might unquestionably guard Paris from the invading forces of a Blucher, a Wel lington, or an Alexander; but it is infinitely more than probable they would prevent an outraged people from punishing the profligate domination of a Ca lonne, or of thwarting the peddling inefficiency of a Necker. We are somewhat puzzled to conjecture the motives which could have influenced M. Thiers in acceding to the proposition for their erection during the recess of 1841. Possibly that sagacious statesman did not regard them with those apprehensions in a contingent emergency which lire rendered inevitable at this advanced period. Possibly the expense which they had already entailed upon the Exchequer in that year, namely, 5,600,000/., did not afford him an ade quate conception of the enormous sum they have since required for their completion. The Quarterly Re view avouches that these works at Paris will fully answer the purpose of what its writer supposes to be their original purpose, of "putting the capital in a cage!" There's a reflection for the revolutionists of 1830 ! Paris put in a cage I Much valuable information in castrametation and the science of fortification, par ticularly as applied to modern times, and especially as in reference to our neighbours and their metro polis, may be gleaned from this contribution. - In the terminatingpaper of this number, the most remarkable feature is a quotation from a work published in 1845, by M. Capefigue, and entitled Rommes d' Etat. The predictions of that French historian, while they some times evince his discernment, and illustrate, iu a dis tinguished man ne r, th a t remar k o f Edmund Burke, that " foreigners are a kind of contem poraneous posterity," are mingled, nevertheless, with the most egregious and extravagant day-dreams. What shall we say of that vaticination, "Si l'lrlande persiste, ce sera M. Peel qui consentira a sa separation, a son Parlement national, a difaire l'ceuvre de cin• quainte ans?" What again shall we say of that companion prophecy, " Que les Radicaux, a leer tour, persistent, it viendra peut4tre un jour oil M. Robert Peel accomplira la r4form,e absolue avec le Parlement annuel, a la fawn de Cobbett et de Hunt ?" If the felicitous assurance of another paragraph " gee Sir Robert Peel a tue le parti Tory," may be taken as a conclusive testimony of M. Capefique s claim to be considered auracular, Mr. O'Connell may exult in the anticipated achievement of the repeal ; while the shades of the great Member for Oldham and of Henry Hunt will rejoice at the prophetic realisation of their visions. But not unless. Throughout this article in the Quarterly we can discern the disappointment of the agriculturists still rankling under an affectation of re signation; we can still discern the animosity to the late Premier beneath a film of in sidious flattery; we can still recognise the old stubbornness of monopoly renewing itself again and again, after it had been as repeatedly vanquished by the indisputable facts and overwhelming logic of the more intelligent advocates for free trade. We shall not waste our own time, or that of our readers, by going over the same arguments which have al ready been repeated a thousandfold in our own co lumns, and which arguments, though in almost every disinterested man's mouth, whether in Parliament or out of Parliament, especially during the past ten months, this reviewer seems never to have heard. The old sophisms which Mr. Cobden has exposed long since, which have been likewise dissipated by Mr. Bright, Mr. Villiers, and Mr. Milner Gibson, spe cious phantoms of objections which have in some in stances been laid by the pamphlets of Colonel Thomp son, and the letters by Mr. Fox in the League news paper, are here revived, as though their flimsiness were not apparent to ninety-nine per cent, of the population. In a similar manner the truths of free trade—apparent as the moon at its full to almost everybody else—are still utterly invisible to the writer. When Galileo first published his nun cius siderius, declaring among other marvels the ex istence of satellites in the vicinity of Jupiter, and the periodical disappearance and reappearance of spots upon the disc of the sun, one of that great man's an tagonists, a peripatician and a rival professor, gravely printed a book, in which he declared that he had a telescope of his own, that he had looked through that telescope, that the assertions of Galileo Galilei were monstrous mistatements, that the surface of the sun was emaculate, that Jupiter was unattended by satel lites ! What that peripatician was to astronomy, these protectionists are to political economy. They have all the evidences of their senses, all the assurances of the most eminent authorities, from Dr. Adam Smith downwards, all the testimony of experience, calling new-declaredu p o tem t o a p c k r i n n o c wle i p le d s g ; e t y h e e t, tru i t n h f f a u t l u n a e t s e s d of w t i h t h e their antiquated system, just as Galileo's enemy was with the exploded doctrines of h A a r n i s d t s o t a l g e, a itnhsety their volu n t e a a r r i s l clos e declare their ey t e h s a , presstth they y t heir see and hear nothing which can induce them to forsake their venerable policy. Notwithstanding this wilful pertinacity, we are still sanguine as to the acknow ledgement of the advantages of an unrestricted corn merce even by the bitterest antagonists of the recent Parliamentary innovations. Not only, however, is the writer in the Quarterly convinced of the impro bability of such a change among the English protec tionists, but his scepticism is of a gigantic and cos mopolitan order. "On the whole, then," says he, " we are more and more convinced by all we read, and see, and hear, from all quarters, that the promise that our free-trade mania is likely to meet with any thing like the reciprocity from any foreign powers of the New World or the Old, will turn out to be a lamentable deception." A wonderful conclusion to arrive at, truly ! Why the very American tariff; over which he has been exulting in the preceding para graph, is a step taken in the right direction.

As to the "intelligent American gentleman," (a friend of a friend of the writer in the Quarterly Review), who designates the farewell speech of Sir Robert Peel on the occasion of his late retirement from office " a parting stab to the interests he had abandoned," we can only answer that the majority of the countrymen of that great minister look back to that incident, and to the sentiments then avouched by him, as the most admirable of his whole public career. Yes ; let us repeat that noble peroration of that most memorable address—let us repeat it, not to constitute it, like the reviewer, a text for invidious insinuations, but to reanimate, if that be necessary. the gratitude of the English people to one of their most self-forgetful benefactors, and one of their most self sacrificing patriots. " I shall leave office, I fear, with a name severely censured by many Honourable Gentlemen, who, on public principle, deeply regret the severance of party ties—who deeply regret that severance, not from any in terested or personal motives, but because they believe fidelity to party engagements—the existence and main tenance of a great party —to constitute a powerful in strument of government. * * • I shall leave a name execrated by every monopolist, who, from less ho nourable motives, maintains protection for his own in dividual benefit ; but it may be that I shall leave a name sometimes remembered with expressions of good will, in those places which are the abode of men whose lot it is to labour, and to earn their daily bread by the sweat of their brow—a name remembered with expressions of good will, when they shall recruit their exhausted strength with abundant and untaxed food, the sweeter because it is no longer leavened by a sense of injustice.' Upon those beautiful and elevated anticipations of Sir Robert Peel, the reviewer raises a multitude of others of a lowering and ominous character ; he dis cerns, as the consequence of the glorious measures passed under the auspices of that Prime Minister, the future misfortune and possibly bankruptcy of this empire, instead of its prosperity and increasing opu lence; and from the repeal of the corn -laws, he looks forward to the abrogation of other laws yet more inti mately blended with the elementary principles of the constitution. With this trepidation we, of course, have no sympathy .whatever; but from the establish • ment of free trade we anticipate the correction of other and still greater blemishes in our Legislature, and, if that be possible, the ultimate perfection of this triple Government. We have commented at such length upon these two most important and attractive articles, that we have precluded ourselves from any especial reference to the remainder. We must however in justice observe, that the one upon "Education," the one upon the "Cathedral of Cologne," and another upon "Constantinople in the Fourth Century," are eminently worthy of a place in this eminent publica tion. MAGAZINE DAY . BLACKWOOD. Curious and most charming is the article entitled " Luigia de Medici"—an article conceived and written in a gentle and loving spirit. For those individuals who are not familiar with Florentine biography it may be as well to premise at once, that the beautiful maiden whose name is here mentioned was the fourth daughter, and the seventh and youngest child, of Lorenzo the Magnificent and his wife Clarice Orsini. Consequently, the ever-memorable and ever-glorious Cosmo de Medici, him whom the grateful citizens of Florence christened Pater Patrice, was the great grandfather of Luigia. The purpose of the writer is one which cannot fail to enlist all the sympathies of those who can sympathise with the sorrows of one of the most extraordinary geniuses Italy or the world ever saw. It is to demonstrate the fact that Michel Angelo Buonarotti—the sculptor, the architect, the painter, the poet, that wonderful man, merely to mention whom Sir Joshua Reynolds conceived to be the most fitting and dignified mode of terminating his lectures as President of the Royal Academy—it is to prove that the heart of this great man loved in his youth, that it loved with an ardour proportioned to the intensity of his high nature, that his affection was not improbably reciprocated, that the object of his devotion was none other than Luigia de Medici, and that her premature decease tended to confirm and enhance the anvterity of the character of Michel Angelo. More o ' laity, cer tainly, doe s no t ex i st i n the bi ograph ny man of comparable celebrity w ith reference tote early de velopment of hi s di sposition, and the tribulations to which he was subjected at the very outset of his career, than that which shrouds the history of the boyhood of Angelo. It is generally regarded as questionable, whether the passion which he himself indicates in his writings was real or supposititious. It is presumed by many that his poetical productions were rather the embodiment of his vagrant medita tions than the outpourings of human emotion. The theme of his verses— " The form of beauty and the soul of grace," is conceived by the majority of scholars to have been a merely visionary object of his adoration. From these prevalent opinions the writer in Blackwood altogether dissents; and, although Buonarotti was most scrupulous never to reveal the name of the being to whom his poetry was particularly addressed, or, in deed, to indicate, in any way, the identity of her whom to have loved under his circumstances would have been regarded as a grievous presumption, this writer, from a variety of collateral circumstances, is persuaded that it could have alone been Luigia. In en deavouring to " carry his point," he quotes largely from the delicious sonnettos and madrigales of Michel Angelo —pieces which, supposing his chisel and brush to have been wholly inactive, would inevitably have acquired for him a very considerable celebrity as an emulator of the fame of Petrarch. It is in truth, solely because their lustre is eclipsed by the transcendant glory of his creations in high art, that these poems are now so little appreciated, and so generally unknown. After a perusal of those sonnets it will be impossible for the most fastidious to gainsay the merits of Buonarotti as an author, and but few will be adventurous enough to deny that they were dictated at moments when his whole soul was excited with positive admiration, with actual trepidation, or with real woe. Living under the roof of his patron, the Magnificent Lorenzo, and forming one of his household, Michel Angelo never theless conquered himself so far as to have main tained a strict silence upon what was nearest to his heart. The Laura of Petrarch, the Caterina of Camoens, the Eleonora of Tasso, the Beatrice of Dante, exercised no more fascination over the minds of those great poets than did Luigia over that of Buonarotti. To that devotion the affection of Abelard for lleloise was most earthly, that of Rousseau for Madame Warens most inane, that of Waller for Sacharissa most fantastic. And when we remember the p re mature death of Luigia immedi a t e l y b efore the downfal and banish ment of her once illustrious house; when we call to our recollection that noble epitaph written by him upon her dissolution, and which the writer in Black wood calls, with much truth, "sublime"—words that are placed in the mouth of the deceased—"/ was a mortal, now lam an angel. The world knew me for a little space, and I possess heaven for ever. 1 rejoice at the glorious chance, and exult over the death which struck, to lead me to eternal life I"—when we remember these things, and remember also that pathetic exclama tion of Michel Angelo--" Children I shall not have, except the works I shall leave behind me," we cannot regard this incident in the history of letters without the most peculiar interest. We are grateful to the writer of Blackwood for this elegant contribution, and to the editor for its insertic,n. In two other respects, however, this month, we are disappointed with "Chris topher North." We are disappointed with him for the admission of such articles as those entitled " Advice to an intended Serialist" and " Things in General " into the generally fastidious Maga. We re member well a dinner being given some few years ago at Edinburgh to Mr. Charles Dick ens , we remember " Christopher N or th " was in the chair, and we particularly well remember how that same " Christopher North " uttered a well-deserved pane gyric upon Mr. Dickens esphtehaetai tahlgfloeyerrnefi for rs appears was thegea sa e r n esg i o u eut s uopt l ieeeuvdusi to gentleness evinced and en uc in dae OHaikT A I nh sn i i feh e os ndoate r dn a h w r a i r tepet l h rei oa it oiipf ty n:sf i e, t n sire w sur prisedgeetnanhisnstoedeh realityn c a lled a dm wn. most r d ha s: i wt: vulgaritync nothingwhAyd vulgar gvl arn tergiversation pumi zeog eresmore t of i on m s slang ge andpersonality part b a anld_ of and H fa e l l s f . o f r o g u e l ts o ffhihsi former Serialist e ulo , - , to be have m o whos e t v e against causticl s supposedencountered.w andhoi whom funny,n t oe the hbe l eer t is 'bi uC evidently nh remembered ern‘ i ntended ' .'t'do ice to an Intendedm by proxy! • isD eveniDickens e the n s d u e p r d t o a s the h. derisionlt is ofn theattempt public, sd t t v ohold uend is‘i. ,tCharles• vely de signated,ighht_owei:Tl:r. , 8 the kitten ng quality o t f h e o t f s h e r e i candour.a lai T S h m e it w h . . ortl„hs T G, h o e o r d e t_wß i aa recipient the person d,,1 began it," &c., prove sufficiently J e an " intendedc. pasqui nade• on the article is ntor the ec redeeming e• e emmentioned;r ei • mistaking ci evv whichi t without t e transcrib ingshou should h preserved—Glade to join you—Cup of existence mony _,. n evident true t . of • . sle Jingle. —Gall at bottom,' Isa of the ' nade upon the M o r p . en ß in i g ngo o, s. written.

The paper headed " Things in General " has likewise several blemishes, but with these it has many sensible and sagacious observations. The reflections upon the Montpensier marriage, for example, are shrewd and timely. The remarks upon the English press in general, and upon the London daily press in particular, are deserving of especial attention. But when the writer expressly goes out of his way to call the eminent members of the British Association "twaddling ninnies," and speaks of the " childish inanity" of their exhibitions, we conceive he is stepping somewhat out of his province. He says that scarcely anything is to be heard at such annual assemblages except " senile garrulity, the gabble of ignorant eulogy, or virulent, envious depreciation and detraction." And this is said, moreover, with a vivid recollection of the masterly address of Sir Roderick Murchison, with the admirable tribute uttered by Lord Palmerston, and with the attendance of such men as Herschel, Oersted, and Buckland at the :ate meeting in Southampton ! Senile garrulity ! Twaddling ninnies ! The writer is, moreover, ex ceedingly morose with Mr. Dickens. He guar rels with the first number of " Dombey and Son," because of Mr. Chick humming to himself Right loorul ; and yet he, himself, in page 635, obliges the reader with " Bow, wow, wow, wow !" He objects to the painful minuteness of Mr. Dickens's style of description ; and yet, in page 626, he him self tells us that he took with him into the country "a stock of Lee's port and sherry—six pounds of real tea—three bottles of whisky—four of anchovy paste —two pounds of mustard, &c. &c.," as if any one cared one straw about the contents of his larder, wine -cellar, spice-box, and so forth ! Again, he is excited to indignation by Mr. Dickens giving us such an elaborate account of a race between two watches, and yet he himself fills an entire column of the maga zine with a highly interesting harangue delivered by himself (the writer) to his (the writer's) dog, and wherein the said dog is addressed as " a little sinner," as "doggy," and by other equally sensible titles. When we find him at another moment quoting that comical passage about Dombey's son, who, lying in his cradle with his little fists curled up and clenched, "seemed in his feeble way," says "Boz," " to be squaring at existence for having come upon him so unexpectedly," when we find the writer transcribing this in large letters, placing three notes of admiration after it, and calling it " the brutal idea of a prize fighter," we perceive that he has no capacity what ever for appreciating what is extravagantly humour ous. In other respects this article is pleasant and readable. " Prussian Military Memoirs" is an agree able contribution. The " Marlborough Dispatches," and " A New Sentimental Journey," are continued with spirit ; and these, with a trenchant criticism on " Mohun Lal's Life of Dost Mohammed Khan," and a laborious inquiry into the " Operation of the Eng lish Poor-laws," compose a very varied and rather unequal number of Blackwood. TAIT. A perfectly astonishing title is given to the fore most article in this number of Tait—" Pas,sages in the Life of a Literary Blackguard." It is the exten sion of the biography of the notorious " Pietro Are tino," as given in the commencement of that great Biographical Dictionary issued by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, and which if pro perly supported by the public might even yet be a splendid national work. And a wonderful " black guard" this same Pietro was unquestionably; a villain, a poltroon, a debauchfte a parasite, a mercenary swordsman under Giovanni Medici, a public mendi cant when residing in Venice, an insolent charlatan in the very title-pages of his books, a calumniator, a liar, a publisher of infamous sonnets and obscene en gravings—a fellow who abused his friends when they were overwhelmed with misfortune, and who after a life illustrated with the perpretration of almost every imaginable atrocity received extreme unction when stretched upon his death-bed, and perished with that brutal jest upon his lips, that, seeing his body was now well oiled, his attendants would do well to keep the rats from eating him ! The writer of this article in the magazine observes at the outset that he intends it to constitute a kind of literary scarecrow. He had remarked " a battered leaden statue of a half naked man on horseback," in the area fronting the Edinburgh courts of justice, and finding that it was erected to the memory of the " pious" and " unconquered" King Charles the Second, he declares that the very sight of it was " enough to make any man, for the moment, a republican:' Con ceiving that a wholesome moral might be extracted from the contemplation of such a sculptured effigy, and that some sound lessons in government might be drawn from the mere inscription, he looks for an analogous memento and warning in the department of literature. For the nonce he hits upon Pietro Aretino; and undoubtedly he could not have selected a more appropriate scoundrel. There is something infinitely astonishing in the history of this remark able person. Perfectly uneducated, and without even the semblance of good principles, he adventures, at the ripe age of five-and-thirty, upon the fabrication of a literary celebrity. Without genius, without even any very remarkable talent, without being scholarly, without patronage, without money, without character, he nevertheless fabricated for himself a fame which extended over every portion of Europe, and penetrated even into Asia, and assumed a con spicuous position in the dawning of the sixteenth century. He was the friend of Titian, of Tinto retto, and of nearly all his most illustrious contemporaries ; he was the correspondent of the va rious Italian princes, of the monarchs of Germany, France, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and England ; he was the stipendiary of all the leading statesmen of the time ; he frequently received bounties from the cof fers of Sultan Solyman, and drew largely upon the spoil of Barbarossa the pirate. He styled himself " The Scourge of Princes" while penning the most pitiable and sycophantic petitions to the different so avtertehiegnens d ; o h f e dn s e ig u n m e e d n h ta im la s d e e lf n ' w ‘ P it e h te f r al t a h it e ie T a ; ru a t p h p t e e n ll d e e r d " to his name the epithet " The Divine," though his whole life was notoriously mean and vicious • and at other moments called himself " Peter, by the grace of God a Free Man," though he battoned on the fickle favour of kings. Anythinimore astonishing, whether for deliberate audacity, for utter degradation, or for flagrant immorality can scarcely be adduced in the whole range of letters. The contributor has done well in producing this biographical paper ; it will serve a high purpose ; it will be the warning he de sires it to be, and will demonstrate by the gloomy contrast of crime, the lustrous purity of virtue. " the Belle " is concluded with much sprightliness, and we have a promise of the termination of Mrs. Gore's story in December. Among the poetical con tributions for this month we cannot discern a single verse worthy of commendation. " The Dove "is so weak and tame in its nature that we conjectured it must be what Bottom calls a " sucking dove," Some of the rhymes are especially vile, for instance the second and fourth " bind " and " joined," which imply a cockney euphony, as thus : "Hail, emblem of the dearest tie That human hearts can bind, Love's all-devoted constancy When kindred souls are jined !" "The Tairy Ladye's Love," again, reminds u s o f the everlastingly still small voice. The translation from the French of Augusta Barbier, in which France is typified as a mare, and Napoleon as a demon-rider, breathes terribly of the orange peel and sawdust of Franconi's. The best verse is that descrip tive of France, young, vigorous, and untainted, at the period of the Republic : " The eye of fire set in her slender head Shot forth a tameless ray ; Reared up erect the whole world she dismayed With her shrill savage neigh." An elaborate analysis of Dr. Brown's "Ethical Lec tures," and a careful review of Dr. Alexander's "Switzerland and the Swiss Churches," together with several other literary notices of less pretension, complete the light literature of Tait for November. The political article for this month is almost as great a curiosity as in October; it is now, however, con fined to the consideration of Irish destitution and our foreign diplomacy. With reference to the present condition of Ireland, Tait gives rather too bitter a home thrust to both landlords and peasantry—it de clares that "every Irishman is from this moment a pauper or a semi-pauper, supported half by work, and half by extras from the parish"—the landowners praying for grants to improve their land by drainage, and so forth—the peasantry pleading for grants to pay them Government wages for Government employ ment. Supposing it were literally true that all Irishmen were paupers, this is surely not the moment for the announcement of that pain ful fact, for flinging the reproach in the teeth of our countrymen across St. George's Channel. The Irish are starving ; let us wait till they be extricated from that abyss before we dream of balancing the interests of the state. The observations which follow upon our foreign relations are singular enough. We transcribe one paragraph : " The function of Government, in regard to foreign affairs, is the same as its function in regard to domestic. Its sole office is to protect the citizen or subject in the free exercise of his lawful rights, and compel him to dis charge his lawful duties. The merchant, or any other person who ventures abroad for profit or pleasure, re tains his claim for protection upon his native Govern- In , nt. The merchant, or other, who remains at home, but engages in negotiations with subjects of other Go vernments, or with subjects of his own resident abroad, must, if they refuse to fulfil their engagements, endea vour to force th em th roug h t h e m i n i stry of his own. The limited business of Government, outside of its own domi nions, is to take care that the persons and property of its subjects are safe. To this end fleets and military stations, on distant shores, aro maintained, in order that the police of the high seas may be maintained, or aid kept at hand in the vicinity of barbarous tribes who respect not the laws of civilized nations. To this end consuls are main tained in great trading ports and inland emporia, and diplomatic envoys at seats of government. The busi ness of our admirals and commandants at our military stations is to serve as a substitute for police in regions of the world's surface where there is no established go vernment ; to protect all Britons, tray( !hug on their lawful occasions by sea or by land, from assaults of pirates or robbers at all times ; from assaults of national forces with whom we may he at war; from aggressions on the part of belligerents when neutral. The business of our consuls is to see that justice be neither denied nor unduly withheld, nor sold at an extortionate price to British subjects, within limits to which they are ap pointed; and to promote the business of residents at home from whom their rights are withheld. The busi ness of diplomatic agents (by whatever name known), at seats of government, is to care for the personal immu nities of their fellow-subjects within the territories of the Government to which they are accredited; to.nego tiate for the r e f o r m o f an y l aw s or ordinances militating against the interests of their country; to watch any alli ances or hostilities which the Government near which they are, may contract or engage in; and, under the direction of the Foreign Secretary, to endeavour to give affairs such a turn as to avert any partial restrictim upon our commerce that might be the result of the one, or any accidental dangers to the persons and property of British subjects that might proceed from the other." So far unquestionably the writer has enumerated some of the principal responsibilities and duties of the agents of the Foreign Department ; but he has en tirely overlooked two very important points upon which the Spanish marriage encroaches—we mean the preservation of the balance of power in Europe, and the prevention of the violation of solemn treaties. The balance of European power is endangered by this alliance between the royal families of Spain and France ; a solemn treaty is violated by disregarding the stipulations of the one signed at Utrecht ; and when England protests in dignified and decisive terms, France evades the interference, first by an ungenerous silence, and secondly by a deceitful subterfuge. Never had England more cause for complaint or indig nation. BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY. Bentley opens this month with the first chapter of a new novel by Cooper, entitled " Captain Spike ; or the Islets of the Gulf." The scene is laid in America in the present day, and in the opening chapter we have an account of the sailing of Captain Spike in his good ship Molly Swash, from Manhattan. The Swash is a suspicious sort of craft, which has in former days been employed as a privateer, and Cap tain Spike himself seems to be more of a smuggler and pirate than of a regular trader. His mate, Mulford, is evidently intended to be the lover of the tale, and the heroine, Hose Budd, is, with her aunt, embarked in the Molly Swash. The crew are rough and ready, and old Josh, the negro steward, is the " funny " man, at least of this chapter. The Molly Swash, in sailing through the passage of "Hell Gate," is pur sued by a boat containing two men, whose approach it is evident Captain Spike has some reason to dread, and in endeavouring to avoid them, he runs his vessel upon the Pot rock. We are glad to meet with Cooper at sea once more. It is his native element, and even in this single chapter he has managed so to enlist the interest of the reader, that having once begun it, it is impossible to lay it down until the whole has been devoured. Maxwell continues his " Brian O'Linn," and the " Flaneur " his Recol lections of Paris. The Faubourg St. Germain is the subject of his present paper, and admirably does he sketch the characteristics, physical and moral, of the old aristocracy, who since the revolution of 1830 have voluntarily relegated themselves to that quarter. The process of amalgamation, however, is rapidly going on ; the poverty of these proud, but poor ex clusives, forces them to wink at the mesalliances which their children contract with the rich Bourgeoisie of the other side the river, and ere twenty years are past, the ancienne noblesse will be extinct as a social class. They are bigoted without being religious, and their morality is of that peculiar character which dis tinguished the Court of Louis XIV., or that of our own Charles II.; but their society is the most delightful in the world. " In no society in Paris is that light, frothy, cham pagne-like essence, called French fashionable chit-chat, bandied backwards and forwards in such lively and witty battledoor banter, as in this. It is as different frcm its counterfeit in other regions, and more especially in other countries, as light French wines are from Eng;ish brown stout. some there are who may prefer the latter ; but still even they must own that it is heavy. To attain to the necessary perfection in this most glittering orna ment of good French society it is required to be alive to everything passing —to be ignorant of nothing, past, present, and fut ure — to touc h lightly upon all subjects with ready versatility, and as lightly let it fall again —to find the right wo r d f or every t h ought, for everyeCircum stance, for every feeling, for every shade of rank or po sition (and the word chosen must be sharp as a needle's point, if it be not expected to recoil back upon its utterer with all the heaviness of its bluntness)—to err not in the slightest shade—to skim gently over the whole surface, and yet in skimming catch the cream. And nowhere is this perfection attained in so eminent a degree as in the salons, where men and women can causer of the society of the Faubourg St. Germain—nowhere has this rapid flitting of witty conversation, this ease and grace in flattery and repartee—this babble so smooth, and yet so cutting, so light, and yet, in the materials necessary for its fabrication, so solid, so heterogeneously and yet so nicely compounded, appear to have been so complete a study, and with such successful results, all unstudied as it appears. Are little children taught to converse as they are taught to learn grammar? We almost might suppose so, to see what masters they are in the art, when they are grown up." Alfred Crowquill discourses pleasantly upon a subject which, as Christmas approaches, is to many persons anything but pleasant, " The Little Ac count ;" and W. Jerdan gives us a pleasant comedy of errors arising from the circumstance of Lords Yarborough, Harborough, and Scarborough being once upon a time all located in the same hotel. He entitles it " Titular Confusion ; the Borough-title Terminus." We have a very graphic account of the ceremony of "Taking the Veil" at Naples, by the author of " Italian Scenes." It is valuable, as show ing the light in which the educated and polished classes in Catholic countries look upon these cere monies. In this instance, the nun was of a noble family. The elite of the beau monde of Naples at tended the ceremony as they would have attended an opera or any other spectacle. During its progress the Papal Nuncio who officiated made a u dibl e com _ . plaints of the draught of cold air from the grating of the convent to which he was exposed, and requested the abbess to have the doors and windows closed, and to hasten the toilet of the new nun, and at its con- elusion the invited guests assembled In the hall of the convent :-- " This was a complete morning soirée, in which all was done on the most liberal and handsome scale, nothing could be more recherche, or more profuse, than the refreshments that were handed round every instant; ices, jellies, creams, cakes, bonbons, every imaginable species of sweetmeat was there, in a style that would have shamed many a ball room. To my astonishment, there was even punch a la Romaine, a fact which went far to prove to me that the nuns were much less igno rant of the ways of the world than I had imagined. The reunion was now all vivacity and animation, the society had amalgamated, the ladies apparently determined to make up for the silence of the preceding two hours, laughed, and sipped ices, and chattered with inimitable rapidity; the cavalieri on their part were all gallantry and attention, while two or three went round the circle, presenting every one with a little brochure of compli mentary verses addressed to the nun, which had been as usual composed and printed for the occasion ; I glanced over them, and saw that they were in the same strain as the predica, a recapitulation of the Epithalamium, in rhyme. Suddenly the usual cannonade of petards was fired off, before the convent gates, stunning us, like a park of artillery, filling the whole room with smoke, and silencing every one, and everything, for the moment ; but it was only for the moment, for no sooner was it over when the noise of tongues and glasses began again. It was nearly one o'clock, and no one seemed disposed to move till the nuncio's equipage drove up to the steps, when he rose, and as the sposa stooped to kiss his hand, he presented her with a beautiful silver crucifix, which he requested her to keep as a memoria, and then he bid adieu to the abbess and the rest." Albert Smith puts in a pleasant plea for Boulogne, between which and Margate, Ramsgate and Brighton, he draws a comparison more after the manner of "Boz" than of Plutarch ; and Dr. W. C. Taylor gives us a " Biographical Sketch of Sarah, first Duchess of Marlborough," a portrait of whom, engraved by Cook, from the original picture by Sir Godfrey Kneller, at present in the gallery at Althorp, illus trates this number. The other illustrations are by Leech—the first, a scene from Cooper's new novel of "Captain Spike;" the second, a scene from " Brian O'Linn." FRASER.

The article entitled " Politics and Personality" in the present number of Fraser is evidently a feeler, put forth for the purpose of bring ing about this reconciliation, and f rom i t we gather that if Sir Robert Peel will consent t o let bygones be bygones, and once more place himself at the head of the Conservatives, and rally their scattered forces, they will be but too happy to throw overboard the impracticables, and to yield to the Right Hon. Baronet that implicit odedience which of yore he was wont to exact from them. After speaking of' the in definite nature of the promises of both the great political leaders the writer proceeds— " The Protectionists, that is to say, the followers of Lord Stanley and Lord George Bentinck, are equally indefinite, though more t a lk a ti ve , as to their future policy. Whether it is to be one of reaction, or only of revenge, no man yet Can say. If we might hazard . a guess, it would be, that, as i n th e case o f p r i va t e indivi duals, there excessive morality has brought them into a scrape. Human nature cannot sustain long such an amount of political virtue as they have bound themselves to ; nor can such exalted moral indignation expend it self without some organised, but embarrassing, party action. Their practice, however, must have a hard struggle to keep pace with their professions ; and thee.) I are as yet so vague, so tinged with retrospective fey and prospective passion, as to afford an unsafe ground even for speculation on their probable conduct. To re store our commercial system to the basis of a century ago—to retrace the steps of all the greatest statesmen of later years—to repeal, in fact, the repeal-bill, this is what they threaten ; and we are very far from saying, that if they could succeed in their object they would not be rendering good service to their country. But as well might a child's finger strive to stay a falling rock. We are in the course of a revolution, arid if a reaction COME'S it will not be immediately." This is pretty clear evidence of an intention not to "march through Coventry" with Lord George Ben tinck, and if this is to be taken as the deliberate ex pression of the feeling of the great majority of the ipta does rty, and truly we e express believ e their theree f e c el a i n ng b s e , n ,, o th d e ttu t b io t o b o u u t r that a Gentlemen below the gangway" will, in all proba bility, continue to be "below the gangway' , to the' end of their Parliamentary existence. Lord Stanley and Lord George Bentinck having been thus uncere moniously thrown overboard, who is to be these leader ? The following passage, with which the article concludes, proves to demonstration that they would most ardently desire th a t th e l ea d er s h o uld be Sir Robert Peel. Speaking of the past sessioei . , the writer says— "lt has been the most trying scene of Sir Robert. Peel's arduous career. Indeed, an opinion very generally prevails that he does not desire to resume office, but that if he did, he might be Prime Minister if he liked.. Of what party ? If past treachery did not forbid futuro confidence, we might answer—of the Conservative ; for there is yet much to be defended. The censure passed on Sir Robert Peel is not grounded so much on his policy as on its inconsisten c y w i t h hi s pas t professions. Although he has lost moral influence with his ptzrty, he has gained ground as a statesman—has shown a stinag will and a definite purpo se . He has certainly inspirted vast numbers with the belief that he is the only man t€f govern the country. Even those who most reprehend his proceedings are beginning to urge that the corn laws formed no essential part of a Conservative system of policy—that Sir Robert Peel saw they must go, and took means to anticipate the catastrophe rather than be overwhelmed in it. On the other hand, we must not over-estimate the facile triumphs of a Bentinck or a Disraeli. The best speeches of the latter were those in which he attacked Sir Robert Peel for mediocrity, and a timid policy as a statesman ; yet as soon as the Premier adopts the only bold course open to him, he turns round, and makes the charge of treachery. And ofLord George Bentinck it should be remembered, that to attack is al ways an easy task ; for you take everything for granted, and have nothing to prove ; you have only to assert and to vituperate. Politics are growing to be a more noble pursuit. They are more removed from t influence t he sphere of court caballing or caprice, and cabinet in trigue, and are more and more open to the of public opinion. New laws of political morality are thereby rendered necessary. One significant fast must have been remarked. Sir Robert Inglis, although he deprecated, more in sorrow than in anger, the conduct of Sir Robert Peel, adopted a very moderate tone throughout the session. Does he perceive that the Whigs are already preparing an organisation against the Church, beginning with the Irish branch of the Esta• blishment, and foresees therefore a reunion of the Con servative party in its defence ? If so, his evident desire not to exasperate Sir Robert Peel, or to drive him beyond the pale of Conservatism, may be ac counted for." The fact is, the party has discovered that the con verse of the Duke of Richmond's celebrated boast is true—that Sir Robert Peel can destroy the party, but the party cannot destroy Sir Robert Peel—that with out him they can do nothing, but that without them he can do everything, and that at this moment he occu pies a prouder position, and possesses more real power as a statesman, inlependent of all party, than he ever could have occupied or possessed so long as he remained a mere party leader. The opening paper of the num ber on the "History ofEtruria" is a valuable contribu tion to archaeological science, and it is followed by a dream of horrors entitled " Nightmare on the Rails Imagine yourself riding at the rate of 100 miles an hour on an express engine, with a driver who during the journey has been seized with a fit of insanity and has thrown off the stoker and killed him, and you may have a faint idea of the horrors conjured up by the writer of this paper. The story of the " Rector's Daughter" is concluded, and so are Colonel Mitchell's strictures on the " Principal Campaigns of Napoleon." Napoleon is to Colonel Mitchell what water gruel was to Gervase Skinner when in the lunatic asylum— his " favourite aversion " and like Gervase Skinner, he loses all power of self-control when the name of his " favourite aversion " is mentioned. He thus sums up what he calls the " Bastard Caesar's real character." " The impartial reader of history will then see, that this boasted man, at all times as callous of heart as desti tute of principle, possessed but moderate talents, was presumptuous and arrogant in the hour of prosperity, timid, destitute of resources, deficient in firmness—his high station considered deficient even of personal courage in the hour of adversity." The very violence of this tirade destroys its effect, and it is marvellous that Colonel Mitchell, who on other subjects can write sensibly enough, will suffer his prejudices so to override his judgment when Napoleon is the theme of his discourse. That he can write sensibly this very paper affords abundant evidence. Take the following on the effects of the system of purchasing commissions in the British army as an example : " The science of war is a sealed book to the officers of the British army ; they rise by purchase and interest, and not by merit. The language having no military literature, no means of professional study are open to those who might be desirous of acquiring knowledge ; the minds of the best, therefore, remain uncultivated and deprived of those strengthening and invigorating elements which necessarily resu l t f rom k nowledge, study, information, and the power and habit of reflection to which those endowments give rise. Men of high genius, guided by the brilliant light of inspiration, may not require such artificial aids ; but even genius is improved and enlarged by knowledge, and, above all, the mass of men belong to the ordinary class, and it is for this class that the institutions of a country must be calculated. Men of high, lofty, and commanding genius, belong to the rare production of nature. Able men, on the con trary, are to be found at all times, and in all countries, and in no country more frequently than in Britain ; but they are not, and cannot be, above deriving benefit from knowledge ; and the system of preferment, which sets study and information at nought, which deprives army of the best qualities its very officers might possess, and gives rank and almost boundless control over the fortunes of soldiers to the mere possessor of wealth, re gardless of his deserts, which are as often low as high, must ever be as injurious as dishonourable to a great and enlightened country." Nothing can be more admirable than this, and it is greatly to be regretted that Colonel Mitchell does net always write thus. " Mr. Roebuck" is the contem porary orator for this month ; and in the way of fun we have an admirable quiz upon the high German school of novel writing in the story of " The New Werther." We recommend its perusal to all those learned gentlemen who prose about festhetics..
