By THOMAS BULL, M.D. Physician-Accoucheur to the Finsbury Medical Institution, &c. London : Longman, Orme, and Co. publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o'Clock. LONDON : THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 19, 1837. Mr. O'CONNELL has thrown another bomb in the very heart of the Tory camp. The explosion is awful. All Printing-house square is in a blaze ; and all the waters of the Thames emptied into Blackfriars would not extinguish the flames kindled in the bosom of an Ultra Tory Orange Evening Contemporary. By a lucky accident for which we cannot account, Old " Grandmamma" escaped, but she is not the less savagely indignant at the outrage committed upon her Conservative cronies. The Times has recourse to the vulgarest slang—talkes of the " Press-room of Newgate" with the familiarity of a reprieved cri minal, and of the " window which opens to the drop," with the precision of one to whom the contemplation of the " drop" from the " window," was a daily business. But the blustering blackguardism of the Times is a sure symptom of weakness—a con vincing proof of the deadly execution done by the Darrynane missile. The Times is no match for DANIEL O'CONNELL ; and this is the reason why our apostate Contemporary flies into such a rage whenever the Great Agitator takes the field. Our Contemporary's fear of Mr. O ' CONNELL is all but equal to his hatred—.a fear which makes him quake in every limb, even while befouling the dreaded object of it with the most absurd and ridiculous calumnies. But our present business is more with Mr. O'CON. NELL'S excellent letter to Lord CLONCURRY—a sum mary of which appeared in yesterday's Sun—than with the rage and despair into which it has already thrown the English Tories. Mr. O'CoNNELL's suggestion of a meeting of the Irish Liberal Members in Dub lin, before the opening of the Imperial Parliament, is a measure of which we cordially and entirely approve. It is one of the best steps that can be taken to test the sincerity of the Liberals, and to ensure the future triumph of the " Justice to Ireland" party in the House of Commons. Without organiza tiou--without perfect unanimity of opinion on all questions respecting Ireland—without a predetermina firm to act in concert for the obtaining of their just TightS for their countrymen—the Irish Liberal Members will only serve to swell a Ministerial majority on merely English questions. To wield any power in England so as to influence, for the good of tiro nation, the councils of the SOVEREIGN, the Irish Members must form themselves into a phalanx, oppos ing on all sides a firm and hostile front to the enemy. They must revert to the policy of the patriots of 1782, when politicians of every shade of opinion, and of every religious creed, united in the glori ous assertion of their country's equality with Great Britain. -No course is half so manly, so effec tual, and so safe as a decided one. The way to de feat the SPOTTISWOODE, and all other Tory conspi racies, is to rise boldly in a body, and oppose them on national grounds. Let Ireland but boldly and fear lessly assert her rights, and England will soon learn, out of respect for Irish patriotism, to discard her Saxon prejudices. There is—as well there may be —among the leaders and organs of Toryism, a strong misgiving as to the footing on which the party stands in public opinion. This proceeds reasonably enough, from the conscious ness that the real sentiments of the Tories arc de cidedly hostile to even the smallest degree of re form in our civil and political institutions, while the mind of the nation is known to be fa vourable to such alterations in these institutions as may adapt them to the purposes of a more advanced state of civilizition than that in which they origi nated. The principle of Toryism is "no change. This darling principle it hug" to its bosom in secret whatever public profestiions it may, under par ticular circumstances, be 4 :;iduced to make. Nor is it difficult to account far this. When the many are con sidered as noth;lig, and the few as every thing—where the great mass of the community are regarded as little better than beasts o f b ur d en, created for no other purpose than to . minist er to the wants and obey the impulse of a supe rior class —it iollov.'s that the more the people can be kept un:ler the bondage of custom, and the less they are allowed to feel the advantage of exercising their own reason, the more effectually will the p urpose o f t h e i r Oppressors b e answered. Why arc the Chinese and the Hindoos no farther advanced than they were two thousand years ago, but because it has been the policy of their rulers to cramp the faculties of the mind by swathing it in the bonds of immutable institu tions ? The samc is, and ever has been, the policy Df that party in this country who are now opposing all improvements, under the pretext that they are innovations dangerous to the Monarchy. Th ey wish for the tot a l s t agnßt i on o f mind ; and next to that, which they know they cannot accomplish, they would paralyze, as much as possible, that exercise of the human faculties which, when free, leads men to dis cover among oth er thi ngs , t h at t h e wis d om of their an cestors was not " a b so l ute, " an d t h at it is possible that institutions framed in on ago when none but S DAY Al' ONE O'CLUt K. loft. c:. .......... 011. , 0 non 14 ISout:# Sca Stock .....

Bishops —and few of thein—could write, and when the bulk of th'a people were the personal property or ch‘Att . els of the nobility, may not in every respect suitable to another agb, When almost all men are educated, tint! when simply stepping upon the British tibli confers freedom on the slave, e have just cast a hasty glance over an article on the present state of parties, which appears in a Number of the London and Westminster Review, now on the eve of publication. This article shows a vigour and animation worthy of the Edinburgh in its best days. There is nothing crotchetty, nothing exclusively Ra dical, in its character, as if it were the work of the leading man of a small political clique; but, on the contrary, much sound sense and liberality of sen timent. The writer, on the whole, expresses himself favourably towards Ministers ; but neither flatters them, nor blinks their faults. He tells the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. On one point he is explicit to a degree. Government, he says, must grant the Ballot. They may flinch from other questions ; doubt on this, and hang back from that ; but on the Ballot they must be decided. "We had faith," observes the Reviewer, "in the Ballot, even without the Reform . Bill. We had no faith in the Reform Bill without the Ballot. The founda tion of our hope in the Reform Bill was, that it would bring the Ballot. We never believed that it would do so until the last moment had arrived. That moment has arrived." True, that last mo ment has arrived, and Ministers must be prepared to meet it. The country is now become all but unanimous in favour of the Ballot, and will hear of no more doubts or equivocations on the subject. The result of the last elections, when Tory after Tory was returned; for no other reason than that he could exercise, through the medium of his subordinate agents, 'corrupt influence, has convinced every dispassionate, enlightened man in the commu nity, that till the Ballot be granted, Reform will never get beyond a snail's pace. If we desire to obtain " equal justice" for Ireland, and so bind the two countries together in the lasting bonds of good fellowship, we must insist on the Ballot. If we de sire to see the Church thoroughly reformed ; the House of Lords brought to its senses ; law rendered cheap and expeditious ; and the spirit of improvement set actively to work throughout the country, we must insist on the Ballot. Above all, if we de sire to keep the Tories out of office, we must insist on the Ballot. There is no question of the day that requires so carly__a settlement as this. There needs no further discussion upon it, for the theme is an exhausted one ; it is necessary only that the expe riment be tried without delay. On this point we cor dially agree with the London and Westminster Review The States-Gencral of Holland opened on Monday last. The Speech from the Throne is interesting, and will be found in another column. The Belgian question rernans still undetermined ; and most pro bably will during the life-time of King WILLIAM, if his Majesty be allowed to act according to his indi vidual convictions upon the subject. Madrid papers of the 19th inst. have been received. On the Bth Don ANTONIO MARIA SEIJOS, Mem ber of the Junta of Customs, was gazetted Minister of Finance. SEIJOS is only known as a feeble old man somewhere about eighty years of age, who, during the Finance Administration of BALLASTEROS was sus pected of defrauding the Customs at Seville, where he officiated ai Intendant difring the last days of FEft DINAND. The appo4Ament has therefore given but little satisfaction to the Cortes, and still less to the ca pitalists. The Gazette contains a despatch from ESPA RTERO to the Minister of War, and a " General Order" issued by. his Excellency immediately after the " glo rious" battle of Retuerta, of which we gare the de tails in The Sun of yesterday. In compliment to so much valour we give insertion to ESPARTERO'S " Ge. neral Order," which is only inferior in brilliancy o conception to the renowned CORDOVA'S Arlaba proclamation : GENERAL ORDER. " RETUELLTA, OCT. s. —Soldiers:--The glorious triumph which you have just obtained over the hordes of the Pre t,n,jter raises you still more in my esteem, and renders you still more entit!cd to the gratitude of your country. The enemy, selecting those formidable positions which you have to-day overcome, imagined that through these positions they might be enabled to gain a victory which would relieve them from that disgraceful condition to which the continued triumphs you have gained over them in the field have re duced them. But they have received a severe lesson ; neither the steepness of the rocks, nor the inequalities of the ground, nor the rugged natur e of the underwoods could impede your enthusiasm and heroic valour. From every point, even the most inaccessible, you have dislodged them with a degree of bravery of which I feel proud. toil and glory !—I give you th an k s foryo C t o i m r pano valorousins of m corn y luct ; in the account which I this day transmit to her Majesty's Government of this bril liant action, I demand for the brave those recompenses to which their services have entitled them. " Soldiers!—The glorious feat of arms achieved by you this day is of the utmost importance to the cause of liberty and the consolidation of the throne of Isabel the Second. The flight of the rebels, in the most complete disorder, has considerably diminished their forces, and renders it probable that they will abandon the project of maintaining themselves in the mountainous district which they choose to protect themselves. But if they should not do so, I reckon upon your constancy to support the privations you may be exposed to. With that perseverance, and your acknowledged val our , we s h a ll b ury i n the S i erra the ene mies of public repose, and acquire fresh laurels, for the gathering of which no means shall be neglected by your General, " ES. After the d e f eat o f the PRETENDE R'S fo ARTEROrce „ at Retuerta, he fled to Euciso on the borders of Arragon, which he reached on the 7th, lie was escorted by We arc well awiart the 'Nies will not acknowledge that they' hold or act upon the principles Which wz lrave been attributin g to them. but their denial will weigh but little with tbe nation. They have of late years, since they saw that .the people scouted their political creed, endeavoured to chime in with the popular cry for Reform ; but, with all their hypo crisy, they have not gained, and they never will gain, the confidence of the people, Among the. other artifices to which they have had recourse to shroud their real designs, one of the most cunning was the dropping of their old name while they clung to their old principlesrand taking the title of " Con servatives"—a title to which they have no other claim than that which they derive from a desire to preserve as they find it, every abuse in every institution in the land, which corruption, or the lapse of time, may have introduced, and which they have found exceedingly profitable. They pretend, too, to be " Reformers," Heaven save the mark ! They are most anxious—. that they arc—to reform every " proved" abuse. " Show us," say . they, " only show us a proved abuse, and you shall see how summarily we will deal with it." When, however, the quantity of proof requisite for the acknowledg ment of an abuse comes to be considered, it is found that nothing which a Tory wishes to main tain can be got inserted in the list of " proved" abuses. He has always a reservation in the happy vagueness of his qualifying epithet. With all his professions, therefore, and all his insidious attempts to impose himself upon the public, as a Conservative and a Reformer, your modern Tory holds in his heart exactly the same principles as the Tory of former times, and exemplifies in his conduct much less honesty and manliness. He is a pirate who hoists false colours, for the purposes of deceiving and plundering those who come within his reach.

A paper this morning says that the news was considered at the opera as nearly certain, and that the silence of the Ministerial journal was accounted for by the circumstance that the telegraphic despatch received yesterday did not bring an official note from Constantine, but news that an Arab, who had arrived at Ghclma, had declared that he would be answerable with his head that Constantine was in our possession on the 9th. Another journal says that the news was transmitted to the Ministry on the report of a captain of a ship from Bona, who said that he had received it from an Arab who had been sent with despatches from Constantine to Bona.— Constitutiunnet. .

CASE OF SWINDLING EXTRAORDINARY.-At the Oxford Quarter Sessions held on Tuesday, Oct. 17, a true bill was found against Vincent Vaughan, Esq., of Bell Hatch, and the Baron De Behr and Sir Wm. Deey, of Spring-gardens, London, for conspiring to defraud Mr. Allen, of Oxford, of 3,0001. A certiorari was immediately lodged by the prosecutor with the Clerk of the Peace to remove the proceedings to the next Spring Assizes for Oxfordshire. From the time that the Queensbery family removed their residence from the far-famed manor-house of Ames bury, which was built by the celebrated Inigo Jones, it has, with but little exception, up to the present remained unte nanted. This fine old building is about to be enlarged, to suit the establishment of its present possessor. On Monday Sir Edmund Antrobus delegated to his lady the pleasing task of laying the first stone of the addition about to be made to the mansion—a task which was peformed amidst the applause of a numerous assemblage. The evenine , of the day w as , by t h e ki n d ness o f L a d y Antrobus, rendered a scene of much joyous gratification.—Salisbury Journal. Major-General Napier, the Bishop of Nova Scotia, and the Agents for St. Vincent's and Demerara transacted business yesterday at the Colonial-office. On the 2d of November a deputation from the Courts of Aldermen and Common Council is to hold a con ference, by appointment, with Lord John Russell, on the subject of the municipal affairs of the Corporation of London. Dr. Ainslie left his own house about 11 o'clock, for the purpose of visiting a patient at Horndean Cottage, which is situated on the north side of the Tweed. He ex perienced no difficulty in fording the river at that time, and therefore on his return an hour afterwards he had no scruple in crossing the river. During the interval, however, the water had risen considerably, and the horse was speedily obliged to swim ; the animal was unequal to the task, and by some means disencumbered itself of the rider. The pe rilous situation of Dr. Ainslie was witnessed by Dr. Gilly's groom, who conveyed an alarm to the village, a short dis tance off, and several persons immediately proceeded to the spot. The on!y boat near the place was secured by a lock and without oars, consequently there was no available means of assistance at hand. The deceased floated about 400 yards, and then disappeared. Every exertion was im mediately used to procure the body, which however was not found until Monday morning at two o'clock, at Green hill-ford, about a mile below the place where he was last seen. Dr. Ainslie has been 16 years in the neighbourhood of Norham, where he has enjoyed a very extensive prac tice, and was universally respected by all classes of the community. He was 36 years of age, and has left a wi dow and five children. The place where the accident oc curred is the ford generally used on crossing the river, and during the residence of the deceased at Norham, he must have crossed it times almost innumerable. It is by no means a safe passage, as a trifling deviation of the track leads into deep water.—Berwick Advertiser. FUNERAL OF COLONEL EELES AT WOOLWICH. —The remains of the late gallant Colonel were conveyed on Monday to their last resting-place in Charlton church yard. The men forming the Ist battalion of the Rifle Bri gade (of which the deceased officer had had the command) expressed a wish that a hearse should be dispensed with, and that, as a mournful tribute to his worth, they should bear his remains to the final resting-place, upwards of a mile and a halt In conformity with this desire, twenty four veterans were appointed to perform the melancholy duty. The coffin, accompanied by the mourners and officers, was carried into the church, the Rev. Arthur Drummond reading the service with most impressive effect, the dirge being played by the band of the Royal Artillery, and the mortal remains of the late soldier, Colonel Eeles, was con signed to the earth, where the last military honours were paid him by the thrice-pealing thunder of the rifles of the corps he so long and zealously commanded, with the esteem of his officers, and beloved by his men. The respective corps returned in solemn silence to their quarters. The spectacle was impressively grand. The picturesque appear ance of the procession, with the varying costume of the military, strongly tinged it with dramatic effect. There were several thousand spectators present, comprising the nobility and gentry of the neighbourhood. The practical joke of some of the Members seizing a new Speaker, when chosen by the House of Commons, lifting him off the floor, and thrusting him into the Chair, though unworthy the gravity of the Senate, was practised towards all Speakers previous to the election of Mr. Abbott (the late Lord Colchester), who successfully resisted the folly, and would not submit to it ; since which it has never been attempted. The watering places on the coast have not had such fine weather and so long a season for years past as the pre sent. The influx of company has been very great, and the inhabitants who let lodgings, and the houses of public resort have seldom had so profitable a summer and autumn. At the beginning of October, last year, there Was snow on the ground a foot thick. Half a pint of new milk, mixed with a wine-glass full of the expressed juice of green horehound, taken every morning, is said to be an effectual remedy for consumption if resorted to in time. One who tried it says, " Four weeks use of the horehound and milk relieved the pains of my breast, enabled me to breath deep, long, and free, strength ened and harmonised my voice, and restored me to a better of state than I had been in for years." A Yorkshire paper states, that there was not one applicant for relict at a meeting of the Overseers of the township of Doncaster, on Friday last, but two applicants for permission to quit the workhouse. Several cases of a similar nature have occurred recently, in that part of the country. St: Ann's Parish, Soho, is to be added to the Strand Union, it is understood, by the Poor Law Com missioners. Some time ago, as; a labouring man named Roldeder was at work at a limekiln in Tschirndorf, in Silesia, the ground gave way under his feet, and the unfortunate man was precipitated into the burnin g c h asm, l eaving no other trace than a bluish flam e Just above the spot where he had disappeared. The limekiln was immediately extinguished and emptied, but nothing was discovered of the victim of this horrible accident except a tinde r box, which he usually carried in his pocket, and the iron heels of his boots! A marriage is on the lapis between W. Pole Carew, Esq., of Antony House, Cornwall (only son of the late Right Hon. R. Pole Carew, by his second lady, the Hon. Caroline Lyttleton), and Miss Frances Buller, eldest daughter of John Buller, Esq., of Morval, in the same county, and first cousin of Sir John Yarde Buller, Bart. The Queen is the twenty-seventh in regular descent from William the Conqueror, and being at the same time thirty-sixth Sovereign in succession from the Conquest, gives nearly twenty-nine years to a generation and twenty two years to a reign, in respect of the 771 years which have elapsed since that period. Small bronze figures, said to be copies of the statue of Joan of Arc, in the museum at Versailles, sculptured by the Princess Marie, are now selling in the capital.

(Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS and a full Bench of Magistrates. ) All those Theatres and Inns before possessing Music Licentma bad them renewed without remark, except that for the Queen's Bazaar. Mr. Anomius appeared for the proprietor, Mr. Hamlet, and asked for the renewal of the License. He did not ex , pect any opposition, and therefore he would abstain from any remarks: Mr ; MAevviiilAil had some objections to make, and therefore he would like the lienelt to bear what the Learned Counsel had to say in favour of the reneviia Mr. Atmattus said, all he had to urge was, that Mr. Hamlet was a gentleman or fortnne and of great re spectability, who applied to the Court for the (owl' license to allow him to gratify the inhabitants of Oxford-street with music. It wag a sirange fad, and proved the muta bility of human affairs, that the Pantheon, sthich was also in Oxford -street, was built for a theatre, and was notV it bazaar, while the building in question was built for a bazaar, and was sought to be converted into a theatre. It was under the highest patronage ; it was not yet linklictl, but would be so in six weeks ; it was every way fitted for the purpose, and he trusted the Court would renew its license of last year, which had not been used. Mr. MAcwir.LlAm said he had been informed that Mr. Hamlet was not in possession of the license, he having transferred it to a Mr. Warde, who not having performed all his agreement, Mr. Hamlet, had re-entered, and seized a sum of money for such non-performance. He was fur ther informed that the building was totally unfit for a theatre, that the walls were very insufficient and unsafe, and he would like to inquire whether Mr. Hamlet was to be ma nager or landlord, or in what capacity he was to appear. The Court, he thought, had been imposed on last year, for the license was asked then for a concert and ball room, and not a word was then said about a theatre being attached to it. Mr. DYER, sen., said he had only then come from in specting the building, and he considered that the walls were very unsafe, and could never bear the weight which a theatre would require to have put upon them. The buil ding was not finished ; in fact there was nothing but the walls, and it was impossible for the Bench to know when it would be finished, and if it would then be safe. Mr. LAURIE—They had granted the licence last year for a concert-room and ball-room, which would require a strong building, and then they must have been satisfied by the certificate of a surveyor. As a Magistrate for the district he could assure the Bench that a theatre in respectable hands was much wanted, and would prove a great benefit. He was not very deep in the knowledge of architecture, but he had seen the building, and he considered it to be perfectly safe for the purpose intended. Mr. HALSWELL wished to ask Mr. Hamlet if he had a surveyor's certificate. Mr. Hamlet said he had not, as he had not thought it necessary ; but so far from its being such a building as had been described by a Magistrate, it was one of the most sub stantial building s in London. In consequence of its being under the patronage of the Queen, it was being fitted up as quickly as possible, having regard to safety, for her recep tion. So far also from being only bare walls, it was so for ward, that within seven hours he would have the concert rooms prepared for company. Sir P. LAURIE had been to see the proposed theatre, and, so far as he could judge, it was a firm and substantial building. It was an old intention to convert it into a theatre, and was much wanted, as Mr. Dyer himself well knew ; for he had presided at a meeting of inhabitants of the district, where it was carried that such should be the case . The matter was then stirred, and an application made to William the Fourth, who would have granted a licence, but it was found that his power did not extend out of Westminster. Mr. Hamlet was a respectable man, and it could not be in better hands ; and as it would be a great accommod . ation to the inhabitants of Marylebone, ho hoped the licence would be renewed. Mr. SIMPSON thought it would be time enough for them to grant the licence when the building was finished, and they were satisfied with its stability. Mr. DYER—Is Mr. Hamlet in possession of the title of the property ? He knows that it is disputed. Has he not received money for it ? Mr. Hamlet had received a sum of money from Mr. Warde who was to he his tenant ; he failed in his engage ment, and it was forfeited, but he (Mr. H.) had never as signed to him either the lease or the license. Mr. Dyer ought to know that he had the property, as he had been many times at his (Mr. H.'s) house for the purpose of purchasing the property, as could be proved by many in Court. A desultory conversation ensued between the Magi strates, and the vote being taken, the license was refused to be renewed by 9 to 5. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY DEAL, OCT. 18.—Wind W.N.

We are again without any arrivals this morning of im. portancc ; consequently there is a dearth of intelligence. THE FUNDS. In the early part of yesterday the British Funds conti nued firm, but towards the latter part of the day they re ceded from 927- for the Account, to 921 y Money, and 921 sellers for the Account—opened this morning at 92it a for the Account ; for Money, 921 -8- ; Exchequer Bills, 49 51 prem. ; India Bonds, 52 54 prem. ; Bank Stock, 2084 .2094 ; India Stock, 2611 262. The Foreign Securities also gave way late in the after noon, owing to a report that the prices came lower from Paris, which does not prove correct.

This is by far the most beautiful. Annual we have yet seen. The editor is Miss Mitford, who has con tributed, in conjunction with other writers, some grace ful prose and verse, in illustration of the different engravings ; and the artist to whom we are indebted fot the plates is Finden—in his line one of the most skilful, certainly the most experienced, of the day. The illustrations, which arc not less than twelve in in getbey, are descriptive of the various costumes and habits of some of the more prominent European na 7 tions, Foremost among them is of course " Eng land," which is represented, and worthily too, by a young female, wird is busily engaged in the good old English sport of falconry. The figure of this fair creature, Wlio is in the first bloom of 7.'omanhood, rselises all our ideas of female loveliness. • She L; tall and slender, but just sufficiently plump and rounded, to convey the notion of perfect symmetry. One arm supports the falcon who is just about to take wing ; and the other is in a drooping position, remarkable for its free and unconstrained character. There is a fine woodland back-ground to this picture, every way characteristic of our more gentle, English sylvan scenery. The dying, or rather dead heron in the fore-ground—who has been pierced by the sharp beak of the falcon—might, we think, have been dispensed with for it is at variance with the peaceful, happy character of the rest of the picture. The tale, illustrative of this design, is in prose, and from the pen of Miss Mitford. It is no otherwise deserving of comment than as containing some spirited stanzas which, in the chivalrous style of their thoughts, and the easy flow of their verse, remind us of Walter Scott's best manner in the Lay of the Last Minstrel. Castile" is a design picturesque and romantic enough to drive a poet stark-staring mad with ccstacy. It is a serene, mellow summer evening ; the sun has just set behind a distant range of mountains ; and in the fore-ground, on the banks of a lake, still and peaceful as the sleep of childhood, we see a young Castilian maid, leaning over a balcony, and watching with eager eyes the progress of a little boat, wherein sits a cavalier, who is evidently making all posSible haste towards her. The maiden's counte nance is full of an expression that no one can mistake or misinterpret. " I Love You" is written on the rosy tablet of her lips, and • stereotyped on her blushing cheeks ; and " Make Haste" is legible in her quick, restless, sparkling eye. Behind her are two girls, who are evidently laughing at the fair Castilian's anxiety, forgetting that what is her destiny to-day may be theirs to-morrow, for they are both radiant with youth and beauty, and of course cannot reasonably be expected to remain a fortnight longer without a " sweet-heart." In the engraving entitled "Georgia," two sisters of form and feature, such as " youthful poets fancy when they dream," are shrinking with affright and disgust from a sly, knavish, old turbaned Turk, who is in the act of making a purchase of them for his harem. The expression of this fellow's coun tenance is repulsive in the extreme, but is wrought out with considerable skill and force. But the sisters are the gems of the engraving, and on these accordingly the artist has laboured with the most effect. The laden camels, and the preparations for departure, visible in the distance through an arch-way of the building, tell the tale of the immediate transportation of the poor Georgian sisters, who if they had appeared before Paris on mount Ida, would certainly have borne away the palm, even from Venus. The poem explanatory of this engraving is not unworthy of the subject. We quote the introductory passage, which is very melo. dious in its versification " 'Twas evening, and softly the moon-beam strayed Through the trellis-work of the woodland shade ; The south wind stole with a murmur sweet, Like the feathery fall of a fairy's feet ; And an echo came, from the distant sea, Of the blue waves mighty jollity— 'Twas evening, and marking the shadows fall On nature's brow, as a funeral pall, Watching the clouds o'er the pale moon flying, Two Georgian sisters were listless lying. They were young and happy; their life's brief hours Had passed in that valley, 'mid trees and flowers ; They were loving and lovely, with arms entwined, They lay in their thoughtless peace resigned." This is very smooth and agreeable rhyming, with but one defect--namely, that there is far too much " apt alliteration's artful aid," in the fourth line, whit absiplutely effervesces with " F's." " Scotland" is re presented by two young Highland girls, one of whom, who is in the act of caressing a noble and most saga- 6cm-looking 'wolf-dog, is as beautiful as " Ellen" Scott's " Lady of the Lake." Her yellow luxuriai ringlets stream down upon her neck and over her shoulders, like a shower of gold, and her eyes are full of the softest and sweetest expression. Wordsworth's " Highland Girl" must have borne a close resemblance :a this attractive mountaineer, which accounts for the `act of her so often haunting the poet's imagination in ireams. The back-ground of this picture is a rocky landscape, down some of whose precipitous declivities wild deer are seen bounding with all the grace a fleetness of antelopes. Nothing sets off an Englis‘ park, or Scottish mountain, landscape so well as deer we, however, who have little of the pieturwique in our composition, prefer them in their wore sophisticate, state, as venison. We have selected a few of the more prominent engravings in this gorgeous work o: Art, but all are worthy of praise. As a whole, indee, we do not know when we have seen a volume so every-way calculated to ensure the favourable suffrages of the boudoir and the drawing-room. ORIENTAL ANNUAL. Tilt, London, 1837. The " Annual" season has just " set in with its usual severity," as Coleridge once observed of an English summer. A huge pile of these glittering ephemera is now lying on our t a bl e ; an d we take for granted that it will continue to rain Annuals for at least a month to come. To this we should have no objection, were there more variety to be found in their pages, but, unfortunately, they are nearly all alike— " Grove nods at grove, each alley has a brother, And. half the platform just reflects the other." From this defect, however, we must except the " Oriental Annual," which if it caters to the enter tainment, caters still more satisfactorily to the instruc tion, of its readers. It is, in truth, a sober, well-di gested work ; penned in a style at once concise and simple; showing much graphic power in its deserip tions ; and undefaced by anything in the shape of tawdry sentiment. There is also abundant variety in it—that is to say, a piquant mixture of biography, anecdote, and history. The Memoir of HuMayoon, the successor of the well-known Emperor Baber, teems with interest, and in parts reads like some wild romance, though we are assured it is strictly au thentic. On the subject of those gigantic snakes, which are so often to be met with in the interior of India, we find many curious and novel details. Th e subjoined sketch of the boa constrictor may perhaps amuse : " This monstrous snake, when he has fasted for any length of time, becomes most actively voracious, and springs with inconceivable rapidity on the unfortunate animal who comes within his reach. However large the animal may be, his doom is fixed, and the power of flight denied him. He is confined within the folds of the snake's enormous tail ; who, contracting the muscles of his body in proportion to the resistance to be overcome, crushes the wretched victim in pieces, and than, covering the carcase with saliva, sucks it by degrees into his stomach. In this manner one of the largest of the species has been said to manage a buffalo ; and we are shocked to add that there is an instance on re cord of a human being who fell a sacrifice to one of these monsters. A man belonging to a Malay prow, who bad anchored for the night close to the island oCs, wcr4 on shore to look for betal nut, and on his return is supposed to have g one t o s l eep on t h e b eec h. In the mid dle of thc: night his screa ms were h ear d by the people in who immediately wen t on s h ore ; but alas, they came too lute ; their comr a d e w as crus h e d t o death by an enormous snake, an the satisfaction they could derive was : torn the vess veege his death killing his enemy, whose hea d they e: off, and carried, together 7‘'ith the body of the man, on board their boat. The marks of fanL.!-s were imprinted ol; the man's right wrist, and the corp'•e, though di , er bore evident signs of having been crushed b the rneust y twisting himself round the bead, breast, ne ck, and thigh. e highs The snake measured about thirty feet, and when and were extended they admitted a body the size of a n"'" head." The embellishments are numerous, and a drcitlY Lira . va ried in point of subject. Among them are p ortratsn some of the most illustrious of modern Oriental vO" vereigns ; sketches of the grandest ruins ; Of stately mausoleums ; of splendid cities ; and of mount ain and river scenery, unsurpassed in picturesqueness and tog' nificencc of aspect. We know not when we have seen, a ,;'ore striking engraving than that entitled " Desertet Mansioi3g at Old Delhi." The spirit of desolatio n _ hangs heavy uo,:m them ; their long colona des and their majestic porticos arc Li!! fast going to decay ; towers are shattered ; their overr un with weeds.; and silence and solitude (twin mou:? - ters) keep watch within their halls. Daniel is the painter of this P ic ; ture, which conveys a vivid idea of what Delhi mus have been in the days of the great Moguls, when itg public and private edifices, constructed on the grandest the scale, ail(' with an utter disregard to co st, were wonder and glory of the East. " Castle of Ponaka, in Boutan," shows us nature in her sternest sublimity" The Castle stands on the borders of a lake or river, at the feet of a range of colossal mountains, here shoot" ing up precipitously, and there rising with a more gra dual elevation, their loftiest summits white with the accumulated snows of centuries. The lig hts and shades arc admirably distributed throughout this on:, graving, the stern monotony of which is relieved, and an air of animation imparted to it, by the introduct ion of two figures, who are represented in the fo re g round toiling up r. - narrow path-way which winds round th,e, brow of a cliff. " Fortress of Chunar on the Ganges presents a startling contrast to the preceding engraving' It is full of life, and bustle, and splendor. Numerous vessels are floating tranquilly along the broad, sums y stream of the sacred river ; gaily attired crowds , snm in on foot, some perched upon the backs of elepha nts gilded houdahs, and some engaged in launching sm all skiffs, people' the sloping banks ; while above them towers the massive castle, with its towers, and ter races, and cupolas, and far-extending battlements, glit tering in the brightest colours beneath the fervid O h of the East. To those who are partial to Annuals' and they constitute a large portion of the communi t r --- we should say that the " Oriental" is one of the best,i if not the best, for it may vie with the most showY of its brethren in splendor, and is not surpassed by th em • in literary excellence. LITERATURE. THE LIFE OF SIR EDIVARD CO - ICE• BY C. W. JOHNSON, ESQ. .r.v 2 VOLS. Colburn, 1837. (SECOND NOTICE.) In a former notice of this valuable addition to our national biographical literature, we pointed out those qualities for which Lord Chief Justice Coke was pre eminent among the great lawyers who flourished during the reigns of Elizabeth and James the First. W e re ferred to the early and long cherished feud lictwee" Coke and his successful rival the great Bacon ; and we glanced at Coke's second marriage with Lady _Hatton— from which he dated all his domestic misery ; the C Oll- , tempt of enemies who before feared him ; and most 0' the annoyances to which, through the remainder of his life, he was almost constantly exposed. Nothing, therefore, remains for us but to make such extracts from the work as may interest our readers, and convor to them an idea of the fidelity and ability with which the learned biographer has executed a task of no ordi nary difficulty. It has been urged that Mr. Johnso" is partial, and draws the character of Lord Coke, Os a lawyer, too favourably. This allegation is unfounde d :, and we quote his very interesting report of the trial of Sir Walter Raleigh—which he concludes with a seve re censure of the legal conduct of Coke—as a most ;rit e " resting, yet decided proof, of the truth of our assertion Coke had hardly received confirmation of his office [Il t " torney-General] when a series of treasons, either real or imaginary, gave him abundance of employment. Thus, 00 , the following 17th of November, he conducted the tr ial otli f Sir Walter Raleigh at Winchester, to which place is Court was adjourned on account of the plague being London. Raleigh was accused of high treason, and de fended himself with the highest talent and self-possess io n - Coke appeared on this trial with little advantage language was coarse ; his observations brutal ; hi s temPe r savage. He had to make up by the violence of his meanour for the poverty of his c ase, and no master coil!e!! have been mor e zea l ous l y serve d th an J ame s I. was in this instance by his Att orney -G enera l. Coke acted as th e zea l ous C ounse ll o r who looked only to his client, and so f ar we may plead for his over-anxious efforts. He procured th e prisoner's condemnatio n. '3'l his master, James, p er p e t ra t e d a v il er par r. He repr ieve ." d: his prisoner for seventeen years : lie enaploy.ed him in 1 1 service ; and then brought him to the scaffold Kir pretendr crimes he had committed against Spain, but wretched plea of his former conviction. It is disgusting to dwell upon these melancholy instance of brutality. The truth is but too apparent ; Raleigl;3.wa,s charged by the Spanish Ambassador ; Raleigh, the Korea under t ) 0 servant, needed assistance, and then the King abandone him, for J a m es was a Stuart, was of a family kno wn to a proverb for deserting their distressed friends and relittion 5 There is, perhaps, no reported case in which the pave!: against th e p r i soner were wea k er t h an i n thi s trial of Si Walter Raleigh.

" I will proye the nJoriousest trait or th at ever c ame to the bar, at" you have taken away the King, you would alter religioo, as you, fir Walter Raleigh, have followed them of„th bye, in imitation, for I w ill c h arge y o u with the wor ds.

"Nay," replied the Attorney-General, " I will fir° D ' d all : thou art a monster ; thou bast an English face a Spanish heart.
