The Sun. — London, England, 1837-02-27 00:00:00

LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 27, 1837. The late decision of the House of Commons on the Irish Corporation Bill has driven the Tories to their wit's end. T hey are quite at a loss how to shape their political course after so unexpected and awful a disaster. We are not in the least surprised at this paralysis of the body factious. It Welt puzzle wiser heads than sit upon the shoulders of any or all of the oarty to devise a plan capable of extricating them out of their present difficulties,without sacrificing factious inte tests. To Men who regarded only their country's good,the path le clear enongh—so clear that it cannot possibly be missed. S uch men would not hesitate a moment. They would im toediately submit to the will of the nation so unequivocally expressed through its representatives. They would reason thus " We had imagined that the voice of the country Was with us in our Irish policy ; the matter has been put to the test which the Constitution has provided in such c ases, * and that test has proved that we have been labour 411g under a delusion with respect to reaction in the public sentiment. We find, on the contrary, that the oftener th e question of Irish Corporation Reform is dis cussed in the House of Commons, the greater is the Majority in its favour. We find that in a House originally Called together under circumstances more favourable to our ' v iews than we can ever expect to exist in future, this ma jority has increased from Session to Session, until it has „ r eached a numbe r near ly t w i ce as great as that which we felt it our duty not to resist when the great question of the r ep. al of the Test and Corporation Acts—Acts which we had looked upon as the best safeguards of the Church— was decided. To stand out any longer against manifesto tions of the national opinions, so clear and strong, would be equally unconstitutional and impolitic ; for it would ine vitably lead to the suspicion that we are actuated by other Tnotives than those by which we profess to be guided. We therefore yield the point, \ and acquiesce in the peaceful set tlement of thislon,g agitated and irritating question, as the representatives of the people have determined." This, we say, would be the language of the Tories if they had a single eye to the good of their coun try. But as they have their eyes fixed, and their Whole minds bent upon place, every thing else is but a :secondary consideration. The selfish principle has en tirely absorbed the social in their breasts. Let society be sg itated and disturbed in England and Scotland ;. let it be inged in Ireland, it matters not. If by any means—if at any hazard—they can gratify, or see a chance of grati fying, their insatiable lust of office, the best interests of the nation must not stand in the way—the empire may go to wreck and ruin. It is rumoured, though we cannot give credit to it, that they have adopted a new plan of tactics, to be carried into e ffect through the House of Lords. We are by no means thisiuelined to believe that the Lords would lend themselves as ready instruments to any scheme that had a likelihood to thwart the public inclinations, more especially if it could they the same t i me f urther the views of the party to which ,2hey are devoted ; but we do not think that they will ven ture upon a step so pregnant with danger to the " Order" 414 that to which we refer would be. The Lords, it is I ? .hispered, mean to adjourn the consideration of the Irish Ut‘rporation Bill, when it shall come before them, for two u . 'the I The pret ence un d er w hi ch th i s .unprecedented departure from Constitutional usage is to be justified is this —that as the Bill in question is one of a connected series of measures proposed and to be proposed by the j eT ntuent they cannot be duly qualified to take any one 15 ,,,. t hen: into consideration until they have seen the whole ! _1" --the sapient patriots—never before discovered— ultvreer_ in the course of the three years durhig which they been discussing these measures, found out that there vas any connection at all among them, much less such !SO lurrep ea l a bl e union as must indissolubly link the one with t l i h ieatotile.r in thei r l or dl y minds ! But how d o t h ey know e . n a t oi More I r i s h measures than those already introtlvced T . ' sndeil ? Do th ey mean to assume the prov i nce of etqtatm a to the KING'S Government what measures they shall bring forward, and what not ? Surely this is a pitch of overbearing arrogance to which they do not mean to carry their presumption. But the thing is altogether too absurd to waste words upon. The Lords might just as well say to the Commons " draw your swords, and let us fight it out at once," as have recourse to so desperate an expedient as that alluded to. The Paris papers of Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday have all been received. The journals of Wednesday contain no intelligence of importance. The suicide of CHAMPION, and the conspiracy of which he was to have been the instrument, form the principal topics of discussion. In the Chamber of Depu ties, on the preceding day, M. THIERS made a long speech against the Ministerial project of law, relative to Saving s Banks. The law enables Ministers to apply the surplus funds vested in such establishments to State purposes, on leaving in the hands of the Directors an equal amount of Government Stock. The object of this law is political, and so transparent as not to be easily misapprehended. In it the KING adopts the old Macedonian policy of borrowing from his enemies, in order to make it their interest to pre serve his life, and give stability to his Government. Louis PHILIPPE, like EUMENES, endeavours 'to bind his enemies by the ties of a pecuniary loyalty, by sanctioning a law which makes his life the only security for their money. M. THIERS, however, did not oppose the law, because of the great influence which it would give the Ministry He only contended, that in the event of a run upon the Banks, they would be compelled to declare themselves insolvent, unless the Government undertook to guarantee their solvency. Uuder the new Law the di rectors would be transformed into an association of stock jobbers—for they could not be prevented from jobbing in the securities placed in their hands. M. DUCHATEL, the Alinister of Finance, contented himself with asserting that the evils apprehended by the ex-President of the Council would not, and could not occur. The Chamber appeared to be of the same opinion, for the articles of the law em bodying its principle were severally proposed and adopted. The Charte of Wednesday states that three men were seized by the police on the Sunday before, as they were fix ing crowns of flowers on the grave of PEPIN, who was exe cuted as a regicide along with MOREY and FIESCHI. There was to have been a funeral service fdr PEPIN on the same day, being the anniversary of his execution, and circulars had been sent round to the persons requested to attend it. The following is the form of these circulars :—" You are invited to attend the funeral ceremony of citizen PEPIN, beheaded by the Thiermidorians in the 44th year of the Republic.—Health and fraternity !" The person chosen to officiate as celebrator of the ecclesiastical service was the Abbe Auzou, an anathematized schismatic, or rather anti- Christian priest of the Saint Simonian apostleship. In the French Journals of Thursday we find some bitter reflections on the conduct of the Government, with respect to the police plot revelations. One Journal not only states that the whole affair of the PtriN Coronation Conspiracy was a farce got up by the servile tools of the Ministry, but that CHAMPION'S keepers actually hanged him in prison, to prevent disclosures, which must have implicated certain over zealous officials in the employ of the Minister of Grace and Justice. As a matter of form the keeper would undergo a trial for his seeming negligence, but there the matter would end. The Siecle offers a very probable solution of the mysterious conduct of the police. According to that paper, the Foreign Ministers in Paris have jointly and severally recommended to the KING the creation of a Royal Guard, for the protection of his Majesty's person. The KING re ceived this recommendation very graciously, and the for mation of such a corps is now under the consideration of the Council. It is proposed that it shall consist of four choice regiments of cavalry, who alone will be permitted to do duty about the KING'S person. The appointment of such a guard would put an end to a world of sham plots and conspiracies. This is what the KING has been driving at for the last two years. He had hoped that the Cham ber of Deputies would voluntarily have voted the appointment of guards, but seeing that an attempt to shoot him almost on its threshold led to no such motion, he has now recourse to the Foreign Ministers. The opening of this affair is very skilfully managed. Not a hint is thrown out about popular feeling, and not the slightest intimation is given of the possibility of opposition on the part of the Chamber of Deputies. The KING receives the suggestion of the Am bassadors, and submits it for the adoption of his council as a mere matter of course. The Paris evening papers of Friday contain various, but by no means important, commentaries upon a Royal Or dinance published in the Moniteur of that day, prohibiting the sale or the carrying of pocket pistols. Several indivi duals were seized on suspicion of participating in the plots of CHAMPION and MEUNIER. Most of them are labouring men out of employment. The vigilance of the police is so excessive as to be almost intolerable. Taverns, coffee houses, and lodging-houses are entered by them at all hours, and the inmates subjected to the most humiliating annoy ances. There is no such thing as personal liberty now in France. The law for the disjunction of Civil and Military Tribu nals is in a fair way of being adopted. In the Chamber of Deputies, on Friday, M. SALVANDY brought up the report of the Committee, which was extremely favourable to both the principle and the details of the Ministerial project. It does not, however, appear that the army is becoming more disposed to submit to such an enactment ; the opposition in both chambers will undoubtedly oppose it in every pos sible shape. The Paris Journals of Saturday are not more interesting than those of the two preceding days. The KING has ap pointed General BuGEAuo to the Governorship of the Province of Oran—probably that he may act as a check upon General DAMREMONT. There is very little in these Papers relative to the African expedition. It was judged to be the subject of discussion in the Council on Thursday, because General DAMItEMONT was admitted to take his seat at the Council Board. This, however, is pure conjecture. The following intelligence from the North of Spain is copied from the Paris Papers of Saturday : BAYoNNE, FEB. 2l.—(From the Sentinelle.)—lt ;s repor ted that the permission g►ven by the French Government to land some English cannon at Socoa, and to convey them through the French territory to Behobie, has been withdrawn. We can hardly believe these facts, which would again endan ger the treaty of the quadruple alliance. How would the French Government justify such a measure towards the Eng lish troops ? We are assured that steam-boats are gone from St. 'Sebas tian to Santander for more troops. The commencement of operations is announced for to morrow. Letters from Pampeluna of the 15th, say that Gen. Saars field's troops were to move on the 18th. It seems, from a statement of the force of the army of ope rations in the North of Spain, that, including the auxiliary troops, that army consists of 104 battalions of infantry, 3,600 cavalry, 13 brigades of light artillery, 11 mountain artillery, and 500 cannon in different garrisons. . In the excursions of Don — Carlos, he is preceded by twenty horsemen ; then come two companies of guides, and after them a squadron of the body guard, and a quarter of a league before him are 12 of the body guard, who announces his arrival. Ho is accompanied by his Ministers and his staff. On the 15th be made a speech to the people of Hernani from his balcony. He told them that he would be at their head in the contest, and that if he fell his son was at hand, and that they must acknow ledge him for their Sovereign. General Bugeaud has accepted the military command of the province of Oran. The publication of Marshal Clausel's work on Algiers and the French possessions in Africa, is announced for Monday next.--Journal du Commerce, FRENCH FUNDS.-Paitts, Fats. 24. five per Cents., 109 f. 6Uc. 70c. 75c.

Madrid Journals to the 19th inst., with advices from the North of Spain, of the same date, have just reached us. The capital was tranquil, although much mischief had seen done by a band of robbers, who entered the houses at all hours, and plundered the inmates of their most valuable moveables. They entered the houses by stealth, but once inside, they made no secret of their errand. The Cortes have formally declared that the Commis sioners sent by the Ministers to the army have no power. This is a serious annoyance to the Ministry, and more particularly to the President of the Council. Captain MAITLAND arrived in Madrid with Commodore Lord JOHN HAY'S answer to the letter addressed to his Lordship by the President of the Cortes. Her Majesty the QUEEN REGENT received him most graciously, and presented him with the Order of Charles llL—the second Military De coration in Spain. By the Cortes and the people the gallant Captain was received still more enthusiastically. The French authorities on the frontier evince a determi nation to put an end to the Carlist contraband traffic. This speaks well for the sincerity of the Citizen-KING. Instances of the dismissal of functionaries for abetting the schemes of Don CARLOS' Agents have already taken place. M. Pout- TIER, Sous-prefet of Bayonne, was dismissed last week for signing passports permitting Mr. MITCHELL, the corre spondent of the Morning Herald and a violent partizan of the Pretender, and a Carlist loan-contractor to cross the French frontier. General HARISPE has also written to inform General EvANs that he has brought six pieces of cannon to the French side of the Bridge of Behobia, with which he will silence the Carlist guns should a shot fall on the French torritory. The great struggle has not yet commenced in the north. All is ready, but we believe the jealousies of the different Christino commanders stand in the way of an immediate simultaneous movement. This is very unfortunate. German, Brussels, and Dutch Journals have been re ceived. The first contain advices from Constantinople of the 25th ult., in which is reported the assassination of a member of the Divan while at prayers in one of the mosques of that city. So daring, and so sacrilegious an outrage created the greatest excitement among the Im perial functionaries. By accounts from Italy we learn that the fire which consumed the greater part of the King of NAPLES' Palace burned without intermission for twenty-four hours. The Royal Library, and a fine collection of valuable paintings, were entirely consumed. The Prince of SYRACUSE, who was asleep when the fire broke out, narrowly escaped suf focation, being carried from his Chamber i❑ a state of in sensibility. We direct the attention of Parliament to the following insolent paragraph from a German scribe in the pay of Count NESSELItODE. The cool assurance of the writer bespeaks him in the confidence of the Russian Cabinet Lunaca., Faa. 15.—T0 judge by letters from St. Peters burg, it appears that Lord Durham, in conformity with in-, structions which he has received, has taken some steps to ob tain the release of the Vixen ; but that his endeavours have hitherto been fruitless. The correct tact and great prudence which distinguista Lord Durham, as one of the first diploma tists, will aid him in this delicate question, and it may be taken for granted that the matter will be amicably settled, as Lord Durham well knows what is to the advantage of England, and will most likely use all his influence, which is known to be great, to get his conciliatory proposals listened to in London, and to prevail to have the whole affair dropped, which, if for any motive it should really be carried farther by Lord Pal merston, must at all events end to his disadvantage ; first, because, according to all the notions of maritime law, and most especially laid down by Great Britain, the Rus sian cruisers were allowed to detain the Vixen, and to de clare it a good prize; and secondly, because the Russian ca binet is firmly resolved, however disposed it otherwise is to yield, not to suffer its rights to be disputed. The supposition of the English journals, that Russia has no right to the east coasts of the Black Sea, is not tenable ; for if that were really so, the English government ought not to leave the validity of stipulations to be cleared up by the clandestine entrance of a ship into those ports ; but it would have been its duty to clear the matter up thoroughly, so that nobody might be left in the dark. But it has been long known that the Russian government asserted its authority over the Circassian tribes, without the slightest remonstrance on that account having been made by any Go. vernment whatever. In fact Lord Palmerston seems to feel uncomfortably, at the statements of some of the English journals. That he had asked the opinion of the Law Officers of the Crown whether the Vixen bad a right to trade with a Circassian Port, plainly shows how much he distrusts his own judgment. Whatever may be the opinion of the British Law Officers, it can hardly have any influence on the conduct of Russia. To suppose that it is for these gentlemen to de clare and to confirm or reject the spirit of the general law of nations, would be giving them an omnipotence to which Europe would hardly assent. It would be erecting a tribunal in London to which all nations would do homage. But the common sense of mankind revolts at this, as does doubtless the practical good sense of the English themselves.

The atmosphere still continues in a very variable state, with few symptoms of the approaching spring. On Wednesday and Thursday we had a fall of snow, and on Fri day the frost was very keen with a clear sky. In the coun try the snow continues to cover the ground, and agricultural operations are in a great measure suspended. —Edinburgh Jo►rrnal. On Monday last, as Mrs. Hannah Ayre, of Hough ton-lc-Spring, was crossing a railway in the neighbourhood, she fell down, and seven waggons passed over and crus'ied her legs in a most dreadful manner. One of them had to be im mediately amputated. She now lies in a very precarious state. On the day following, a little boy, the son of Mr. T. Bulmer, publican, of Hetton-lane, fell on the Seaham Railway, and the waggons passed over his hand, and severed off two fingers. —Sunderlar►d Herald. On Thursday William Hurd, Edward Essex, Edward Housden, and Robert Fisher, four desperate characters, who have for some time past carried on the most extensive depre dations in Stratford and its vicinity, were finally examined at the house of Mr. W. Davis, at Layton, before that gentleman and Mr. W. Cotton, magistrates for the county of Essex, on a charge of burglariously entering the dwelling -h ou s e of Mr. John Brown, Lieutenant in the Royal Navy, in Stratford, and stealing therefrom a missionary -box, containing a sovereign and half-a-crown, a writing-desk, and other property. From the evidence, it appeared that the house of the prosecutor had been entered by the shutters and parlour windows being forced open. The noise caused by the thieves walk ing about and packing up the property awoke Mr. Brown, who, suspecting that there were burglars in the house, got up, and, having partly dressed himself, and armed himself with a fowling-piece, he proceeded down stairs. The thieves took the alarm at his approach, and instantly de camped, leaving a hat behind them on the premises. Mr. Brown could have easily winged or shot one or two of them, but Mrs. Brown entreated he would not fire at them. On the night after the robbery the prisoners were apprehended by Johnson, one of the Bow-street patrol, and it was proved that the prisoners were seen to get a short distance from th e h ou se of Lieutenant Brown on the night of the robbery, and on the following morning in Whitechapel and Petticoat-lane. It was further proved that the hat left behind belonged to the pri soner Essex. The prisoners, who denied all knowledge of the offence with which they were charged, were fully committed to take their trial 'at the Central Criminal Court, and were taken to New ate in custody of Mr. Miller, the Governor of tht 119 use of correction at Ilford. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) ALDERSON V. CARSTAIRS. The arguments in this part-heard petition, which has occu pied the Court three days, were concluded this morning. The Mister of the Rolls said he would give his judgment to morrow morning. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) FERMOR V. rONIFRF.T. This case came before the Court upon the petition of the Countess of Pomfret and Dr. Thorpe, her husband, praying that no steps might be taken by the guardians of the children of the Countess, with respect to their maintenance and edu cation, without her sanction, and that it might be referred to the Master to settle the matter, a scheme by which the Countess might have unrestricted access to her children. Our readers will recollect from the repeated • applications that have been made to the Court in this case, that the late Earl of Pomfret by his will appointed Lady Potnfret sole guardian of his children in case she remained unmarried, but in case of her second marriage then he appointed Sir Richard Bur roughs and others their guardians. These gentlemen, upon the marriage of the Countess of Pomfret with Dr. Thorpe, took upon themselves the office of guardians, and in the dis charge of that duty they bad sent the eldest child, a youth about eleven years of age, to Worthing. This was complained of by the petition, which stated that in addition to this the guardians had refused to allow the children to ride out with their mother in her carriage, and in order to prevent a repe tition of such an occurrence the present petition had been presented. The VICE-CHANCELLOR, after hearing the case at consider able length', dismissed the petition with costs. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) The business of the present Sessions for the jurisdiction of the Central Criminal Court was proceeded with this morning, before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Mr. Sergeant Arabin, Aldermen Harmer, Pirie, &c. &c. The Grand Jury having been sworn, the RECORDIR said, on looking over the depositions, with reference to the cases on the calendar, it did not occur to him that any difficulty of a legal nature would occur in the discharge of their duties. Their attention would be directed chiefly to matters of fact, and it would therefore be unnecessary for him to trespass on the public time by any lengthened observations. There were, however, two cases where, upon the first blush, it might not appear that the offences were committed within the jurisdiction of that Court; but he had to inform them, that by 7 Geo. IV., chap. 64, in the one case, and by another Statute in the case of a larceny, where the goods were removed from the place where they were stolen to one within the jurisdiction of ,the Central Criminal Court, the Grand Jury, whom he addressed, might lawfully take cognizance of both. With respect to the calendar in general, he was happy to see that it did not present any features of particular enormity as was unfortunately the case at the last Sessions. After recommending the Jury to take care that the public interest should not suffer for want of the examination of any or of all the witnesses to the bills of in dictment, the Recorder said he would not detain them longer from the discharge of these duties committed to their keeping. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, 7'IVELVE O'CLOCK. There was no chanp in the Money Market on Saturday, and discounts obtained a high rate. Heavy payments in commercial transactions become due on the 3d and 4th of next mouth, which rather causes some anxiety among the monied interest ; but in general it is expected that the payments will meet due honour. Letters from the manufacturing towns in the north state that inconvenience begins to be experienced, owing to the peremp tory manner in which the, agents of the Northern and Central Bank were' proceeding in the recovery of the balances due to their establishment. Consols, which closed on Saturday at 90 buyers for the Ac count, and 894 for Money, opened this morning at 90 to ; Money, 891 H ; Exchequer Bills, 30 32 ; India Bonds, 26 28 ; Bank Stock, 2071 ; India Stock, 257 258. In the Foreign Market Spanish Active heavy in consequence of the disappointment of not receiving accounts of the com bined attack of General Evans on the Carlists, which were generally expected this morning,. Spanish receded from 261 4-, leaving off price, to 251 26 ; Passive, 71 ; Deferied, I :1; Portuguese, 481 494; Three per Cents., 31i 32; Columbian 25 1 ; Mexican, 2511 ; Dutch Two and a Half per o C ur en a t r s r . i , v s a 2 l : 4 - this s3. morning are four French mails, and one Hamburg; ship-letters from St. Michael's, Havannah, Maran ham, and Demerara ; also a Malta mail by the Firefly, sailed from Alexandria the Bth January, Corfu the 2d February, Malta the 7th, and Cadiz the 18th. • We have received the Journal du Commerce of Antwerp, of the 26th inst., bringing the Dutch prices of the 24th—Two and-a-half per Cents., 53k ; Five per Cents., 100 ; Ardouin's Loan, 25*. The Gibraltar Chronicle, received this morning, contains the particulars of the earthquake which took place at Saffet, and which destroyed the whole of that town, Tiberias, and many of the surrounding villages. About 500 Jews, and as many Christians and Musselmans, fell victims, without including a great number of persons mortally wounded and maimed. Such an appalling event is scarcely to be met with in the annals of history. HALF-PAST ONE .O'CLOCK. Overland dispatches have been received from Bombay. The letters are of the 20th Nov., but do not contain any news of importance. We continue still in the same uncertainty respecting the operations of General Evans and the Spaniards, as no further information on the subject has been received to the present hour, which causes great anxiety in the City. It is the prevailing opinion that the, delay of the attack on the Carlists is owing to the bad weather on that coast, and without the assistance of the navy he would not venture the taking of Fontarabia. Consols, which were in the early part of the morning at 90 buyers for the Account, have since receded to 8914 for Money, 89ii, owing to some money stock being brought to market ; Consols at present, 89:1- s ; Exchequer Bills, 31 prem. ; India Bonds, 27 25 ; Bank Stock, 207 ; India Stock, 257 f.

TWO O'CLOCK. The Consol Market which was heavy at 897,- for the Account, has improved to 90/. Spanish Active also from 26 to 261 i. THREE O'CLOCK. Malta papers are just received to the 2nd of February. They mention that official advices from Tunis to the 25th state that the Bey had prohibited all communication with Tripoli, in consequence of the existence of the plague in the latter regency. The cordon stationed along the line of frontier consisted of 3,000 troops, who had orders to warn all persons who might approach to retire immediately, and in case of non-compliance, to fire upon them. Consols for the Account, 90i. • Ar The metropolis was visited this forenoon with a sort of twilight darkness, which has been growing more dense up to the hour at which we write (three o'clock), so as to render gas necessary to carry on business. A Philadelphia paper; in noticing a basso relievo representation of the Bridge of Sighs, says, " Some well known scene, perhaps, would be more effective; and the same ingenuity which wrought the Bridge of Sighs' in Venice, might imitate the bridge of larger size in Philadelphia."

The body of the poor boy was bUried yesterday in Ruislip churchyard. We take the following from the .Journal de Maine et _Loire :—" At a ball lately given at Port Louis, near Lo rient, while a young lady was waltzing, she felt the hand by which she was supported become stone cold, and on looking into the face of her partner found his features deadly pale and horribly contracted. She fainted at the sight, and fell to the ground, whilst her cavalier dropped by her side. The lady was taken. up and recovered, but the life of the gentleman was extinct. She maintains that he was dead several seconds before she knew it, and that she made one turn round the room with him after he was a corpse. He was a married man with several children, and his wife was at the ball." According to the Moniteur Algeria there was an increase in the European population of Algiers, during the year 1836, of 1,690 inhabitants. The census made in the month of January last shows that on the 31st of December, 1836, there were in the colony 5,845 Frenchmen, 1,802 English, 4,592 Spaniards, 1,845 Italians, 810 Germans, 6 Greeks and Russians, and 21 Portuguese. In this number were 7,736 males, 2,079 females, and 3,636 children. . This population is thus divided:—At Algiers, 9,094 Europeans at Oraa, 3,068; at 80112, 1,967 ; at Bugia, 357 ; at M'...)sta: ganem, 75. _ _ _ Mont Blanc, the wonder of the Alps, eolr. puti,sd to be nearly three English miles above the level of an d sea ; and the extent of snow which crowns it has daterr, t h io d. its name.

ANTWERP, FEB. 25.—1 t blew a most tremendous gale on the night of the 24th, which caused the waters to rise two feet higher than the high tide of 1825. Yesterday morning about seven o'clock, the new dyke, constructed about two years ago, to repair the one the Dutch blew up in 1830, gave way, and the whole of the Polders, as far as Caine, are covered with water nine feet deep. At low water several persons horses and cattle have perished, but the extent has not been ascer tained. As it was market-day, it is feared many persons have met with a watery grave. The shipping before the town have not suffered, but some small crafts were washed up on the quay. It is reported that the dyke at Shebreck has also given way. A vessel was seen off Maryport on the 19th instant, with a signal flying. On the 21st and 22d inst. pieces of wreck were driven on shore in that neighbourhood, among which was a large swinging boom and a board with " Mischief" on it.

Letters of a recent date from Switzerland mention that several of the governments of different cantons have re solved to establish steam vessels upon some of the lakes of the interior. The greatest advantages will result from this ar rangement for the communications between Zurich, the Gri sons, and Italy. When the new steam packet upon the lake of Geneva is finished, travellers will be able to go in one day from Geneva to Berne. The spirit of republicanism only shows signs of lift in the narrow limits that have been as signed to it ; and, in fact, regenerated Switzerland is scarcely out of the swaddling clothes of the middle ages. The people have shown but little sympathy for the revolutionary movement of thuJa,st few years. C 4, NIT.

'- The first article in the present Number on the ir - Mati: ners, Customs, &c., of the Zoolus," is as interesting, and as full of characteristic anecdote, as the Quarterly's notices of books of voyages and travels usually are. The Zoolus, it seems, are a powerful and influential tribe of South Africa, whose sovereign, when Captain Gardner and Mr. Isaacs paid them a visit some few years since, was a blood thirsty tyrant, by name Chaka, who was afterwards mur dered and as a matter of course, succeeded by his own bro ther. This Chaka, however, though crafty and ferocious as a tiger, was a wag in his way, and freq iently, by way of pastime, beat his subjects to death with clubs, saying that the population of the empire being too abundant, it was an act of charity and good nature to put some of the poor devils out of the way. On one occasion, being sadly at a loss for some exciting occupation, he pretended that he had had a dream " that his boys and others in his absence had taken liberties with his women," and accordingly took the following summary method of purifying his palace : " King Chaka at first beat his aged and infirm mother with inconceivable cruelty, and to the astonishment of all, as he had ever manifested towards Ids parent a strong filial affection. When all the poor unoffending creatures were collected in the cattle kraal, or village, many of them being sick, their number amounted to one hundred and seventy girls and boys, a great many of whom were his servants and girls from his seraglios. Nothing could equal the horror and consternation which per vaded these poor creatures who, surrounded, and without hope of escape, knew they were collected to sate some revengful feeling of their tyrant, .but were nevertheless ignorant of the cause, for they felt that they were innocent. Everything being ready for the bloody scene, to complete this sanguinary massacre, Chaka called his warriors that had surrounded the village, and told them that his heart was sore, and that he had been beating his mother Umnante, because she had not taken proper care of his girls.' He then ordered the victims in tended for destruction to be brought to him, and those whom he selected his executioners immediately despatched. He began by taking out several fine lads, and ordering their own brothers to twist their necks ; their bodies were afterwards dragged away, and beaten with sticks until life was extinct. After this refilled act of cruelty, the remainder of the victims were indiscriminately butchered." This was but one day's amusement, and Chaka relished it so highly, that " the next day he ordered his chief do mestic to be beaten to death ; then two of his adopted daughters ; and one of his chiefs, after which he spent the evening among his women in singing and dancing, and asked Isaacs, Are we not a merry people ?' " In addition to his other amiable eccentricities, King Chaka piqued himself on being the best dancer in his dominions, and was never tired of exhibiting his saltatory accomplishments before Englishmen, varying his amusement occasionally by knock ing out the brains of an old man or two who might happen to be standing near him. On one occasion, being in espe cial good humour, he created Mr. Isaccs, who was on a visit at his Court, Chief of Natal, a tract of country containing a " space of twenty-five miles of sea-coast, and one hun dred miles inland ;" and after he " had made his mark as a signature to the grant, the interpreter made his, which hap• pening to be larger than the King's, the latter asked, in a stern manner, how it was possible that a common man's name could be greater than that of a King." This is a fine characteristic trait of royalty T. On the death of this scamp, his brother, Dingan, who, if possible, was stilk worse, succeeded to the throne. We subjoin an anecdote, illustrative of the habits of this savage One of his most cruel acts, says Mr. Gardner, was un fortunately induced by the sight of an e 3 e:glass which "I. wore. He had requested to look through it, and was amus ing the people near by describing the effect. On being told. that it was only intended to assist the eye, he sent for a large* burning-glass which lie had formerly received as a present.. His first essay was to ignite the dry grass on each side of' his chair; but this was too tame an occupation, and beck•stn ing one of his servants near, he desired him to extend Iris arm, when he firmly seized his hand, and delih,erate/y held it until a hole was actually burnt in the skin, a few inches above the wrist. As soon as this wanton infliction was over, the poor wretch was directed to go round to the company and display the effect." " Ilallam's Introduction to the Literature of Europe" is an elaborate notice of one of the first works of modern It is impartially written, - and shows in every page a full and familiar acquaintance with the prolific sub ject on which it treats. In particular, the incidental re marks on the old German literature, and on the character of the Reformer Luther, whose translation of the Bible, says the Reviewer, " created, we may almost say, the Ger man language, are characterized by sound thought, and critical perspicacity. In the " Dispatches of the Duke of Wellington," an article which conveys much valuable, and to us novel, information respecting the Duke's Inditin campaigns, we find this striking anecdote : " A characteristic trait of Colonel Wallace is recollected by those who served in the Deccan. At the siege of Gawilgliur he had been charged with the execution of certain details ne cessary to the capture of that place. A heavy gun had been directed to be conveyed by night to an important point, and its transportation over the most rugged• mountain so long baf fled all endeavours, that the artillery officers in despair, re ported the accomplishment of it to be impossible. Impos sible, Sir!' exclaimed Colonel Wallace who had all his life maintained the most rigid adherence to obedience, 'impossible ! let us see.' [He then called for a light, pulled the instructions from his pocket, and having read them, said, oh no, not im possible, the order is positive.' The result evinced the efficacy of the order." In the criticism on the " Works of 'Walter Savage Lan dor," justice is done to the merits of an original-minded man, while his many literary defects are dwelt on with equal freedom. Mr. Landor,' who, judging by his last sa tire which he entitles " An Admonition to Detractors," must be of a very touchy temper, will, of course, be an noyed by theQuarterly's criticism on his prose and verse lu cubrations, though there is quite enough of praise ir. it to satisfy any reasonable author. " Lady Mary Wortley Mon tague's Letters" is an ingenious Essay on a work of that name lately edited by Lord Wharncliffe. The Reviewer, we see, takes the unfavourable side of Lady Mary's cha racter, and is besides of opinion that her literary talents have been overrated ; which is surely not the case, for nothing can surpass the wit, the shrewedness, the humour, and the unaffected vivacity which are conspicuous through out her correspondence. Not a few of her letters will vie with the very best of Horace Walpole's, and far exceed Pope's epistolary attempts, notwithstanding he piqued him self on his abilities as a letter-writer. The article entitled " Cathedral.Establsments," is admirably written irt point of style, being graceful and easy throughout, and in places rising to a high degree of impassioned eloquence ; but its spirit is bad, for it is of the most high-Church and ultra- Tory character. " One thing," says theßevie wer, "is now certain, from experience, that a body of Ir•,sh Romanist s cannot be admitted to sit in the Legislature, consistently with the safety of the State and the integrity of the Church of England." This is a fair specimen of the spirit in which this otherwise admirable article is penned. 01 the remaining articles, " Hamilton on Architecture," and " Por tugal and Gallicia," the first is by far the best.

T ~~.~ FINE ARTS. FIGHTING FOR THE STANDARD. Hodgson and Graves, London, 1837. This is an engraving by Giller, from an original painting by Cooper, who is as much at home in battle scenes as• Stanfield is in sea-pieces, and has here given us as spirited: and life-like a sketch of the battle of Marston Moor, as he.' did, some short time since, of that of Bosworth Field. The** countenances of the Cavalier and Roundhead, who are-% struggling together for the possession of the Standard, are-, full of the right expression. But indeed the picture is alive., in all its details, and it is finished with the utmost care. THE WIDOW'S HOPE. Hodgson and Graves, London, 1837, The face of the Widow, in the clever print before us, iS as well engraved as it is possible to be, the features being all brought out with remarkable di - stinetr.ess, without pos— sessing too sharp or rigid an outline. We cannot, however, say as much for the sleeping ir.lant, whose att;tude is stiff"' and unnatural, while the figu're is, if we mistake not, Out or drawing.
