be after letting me do that thing ?" Mr. BALLANTINE told the woman that she was bound to take the oath if required. and tell the truth, in whatever situation she might ' tie in, and that her notions on the subject were vp--y absurd. She then crossed herself, and kissed the l '..;)o - k. This being done, she said she knew nothing Al . - /out the matter. The magis trate said he knew better, and, with some reluctance, she stzted that she followed her husband out of doors one Lght, because he said, " Kitty, my dear, will you have somut to dhrink ?" and she drank some rum and ale, and gin and cloves with him : and she knew nothing more at all, at all, until the nuss in the hospital was cutting the hair off her hid ; but whether she fought her husband, or her husband fought her, nothing did she know at all. Mr. BALLANTINE ordered him to find bail to keep the peace towards his wife and all her Majesty's subjects for the next twelve tnonths. lie should also require notice to be given of tile sufficiency of the sureties. CORONER'S INQUESTS. Yesterday evening an inquest was held nt, the Castle Tavern, Castle -street West, Cavendish-square, before Mr. STIRLIN G and a respectable jury, on view of the body o f Victor Bouliard, o. fi ne yout h, age d seventeen, a native of France, who terminated his existence by blowing his brains out with a large horse pistol, as recounted in our Journal of Monday last. Mr. Novillv stated that his unfortunate nephew had, in May last, conducted himself in such a manner as to cause his (witness's) great displeasure, subsequent to which the youth attempted self:destruction by taking laudanum. Verdict—" 'Temporary Derangement." Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at the Univer sity College Hospital, 'Cower -street, Bedford-square, on the body of Thomas Seymour, a fine youth, aged 11. Mrs. Catherine Bo!lands, of Fitzroy-market, in the be ginning of last July, was in her shop with some of her chil dren, and the deceased lad was standing in the street near the door, when a strange black cat ran into the shop. It nppeared very wild, and witness at the time considered that it had been worried with dogs. The anil led y Mitch, a n d w i tness was muchfrightened. ma She grow desired ver her children and the deceased not to touch it. A few minutes afterwards she ran out of the shop into the parlour of Mr. Goßage's house, opposite, and then ran out again into the street. The deceased then attempted to lay hold of the animal, when it clung round the wrist of the poor boy, fixing its teeth in the thick part of his thumb, where it hung for two minutes. When it let go the deceased seve ral men came to the spot with sticks, and succeeded in killing the animal. The deceased afterwards went home, and was brought to this hospital by his friends to have his wound dressed. The jury, after commenting upon the horrible nature o the case, returned a verdict " That the deceased died o hydrophobia." REGISTRATION OF VOTERS MIDDLESEX. Messrs. COYtNTILY and TAMLYN held Courts yesterday, at. the Court-house, Marylebone, for the purpose of closing the lists of the county, by disposing of certain cases and lists which stood over. (Before Mr. TAMLYN.) In the 11St, of St. James's, Clerkenwell, Messrs. Parker Pitman, F re d er i c k Pi tman, and Neale claimed to be re gistered for the county of Middlesex, as " trustees of the Claremont Chapel." Mr. TAMLYN said it appeared that the chapel was con veyed to -the four claimants by deed, and to others with them, their heirs and assigns, in trust, to allow it to be used for the preaching and promulgating particular religious doctrines. The question was, whether these came within the meaning of the 23d section of the Reform Act, or, in other words, whether they were in the receipt of the rents and profits. The deacons of the chapel were to receive the pew -rents and voluntary offerings, and two of these claimants being deacons, h e s h ou ld reta i n their names on • the register. The other two gentlemen not having that character, and not in receipt of the rents and profits, they should be expunged. Mr. TAMLYN having been occupied the entire day with the revision of the list for the borough of Marylebone, post poned the remaining county lists till to-morrow (this day.) (Before Mr. COVENTRY.) In the Shoreditch list it will be recollected that the Rev. Mr. Mardon claimed to be registered in respect of his office of minister of a dissenting place of worship. Mr. Coven try decided against the claim, but promised to look into certain documents which Mr. Mardon handed in. Mr. Mardon inquired yesterday whether, on inspecting the do cuments, the Learned Barrister had come to a different conclusion, as he (Mr. Mardon) had been advised that these docunients were sufficient to distinguish his claim from that of other dissenting ministers. Mr. COVENTRY said he had spent some hours in perusing the deeds and documents which had been delivered in ; but he could see nothing in them to vary Mr. Mardon's case from that of other dissenting ministers. Under these cir cumstances, he should expunge the name of Mr. Mardon from the list. The Court then adjourned till to-morrow (this da BOROUGH OF GREENWICH. Yesterday Messrs. BOSANQULT and TYNDALE resumed their sittings at the Mitre Tavern, Greenwich, and the pro ceedings possessed some interest, as the question of the right of the officers of Greenwich Hospital and of her Ma jesty's Victualling and Dock Yards at Deptford to be upon the registry was argued an d d ec id e d . • (Before Mr. BOSANQUET.) The following officers in the Victualling-yard were ob jected to by the Liberals, and supported by the Conserva tives, viz., Sir John Hill, the Superintendent ; Mr. Black lock Benstead, the principal clerk . Lieutenant Samuel Hinton, the Warde n ; Henry Emery, the master miller ; Dr. John Brown, the surgeon ; and six others. Mr. Holmes and Mr. Sandon having been heard for and against the claim, the Court proceeded to give its judgment, expunging the names. The claim s of Sir It. Dobson and other officers of Green wich Hospital were also disallowed on similar grounds. EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

DOVER, OCT. 24.—This morning the Duke of Wellington arrived here, and, after breakfasting with the Duke of Cambridge, proceeded to the Antwerp Hotel, to hold a Court of Lrndmanage, and was received by a guard of honour of the 69th Regiment of the Line, and under a salute from the Western Heights. He then proceeded to St. James's Church, to open the Court, attended by Col. Jenkinson, Deputy-Governor of Dover Castle, and a large body of Cinque Port Pilots. After choosing the Master, Mr. William Gravenor, they sojourned to the above Hotel, to make choice of new pilots, when the following young men were appointed :—Peter Dicent, Richard Hobday, T. Norwood, Willia,n Molland, William Pogniss, Richard Colard, Thoma s T.,-.)ur, Wm. Dowers, Edward Gore, and James W ood: The Court seemed more particular than it was ever I ".nown to be ; it rejected four applicants, for want of g ro pe! qualification. The Duke and the Court will dine at the Antwerp Hotel. The ,g Memoirs of the late Captain John Harley," so many years Paymaster of :the 47th Regiment, are an nounced for immediate pulllication under the appropriate title of " The Veteran," for we believe that few officers have been so many years in the British service. Captain Harley enter:fa the army young, and with his gallant regiment en cosnterecl numberless vicissitudes incident to the fortune 'of war in Egypt, Spain, Portugal, &e. His adventures ex tend over a period of no less than forty years, during which time ho came in contact with a vast number of celebrated persons, who will, of course, figure in his narrative. The public( cannot fail to look with much interest to the expe• tomes of " The Veteran." In the streets of Munich it is now no uncommon thing to see ,pale,wasted figures, the living images of the last' degree of wretiteclness, stalking about, their nakedness scarcely concealed by their ragged remnant of a foreign uniform. These are some of the Bavarian soldiers who, about - four years ago; were enlisted for the Greek army of *4..... }4 King Othe.-1./awb rgk Correspondent. - Si 114 Zit LONDON : WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 25, 183 The Spectator states 44 that the Dublin Freeman's Journal, and Morning Register, earnestly espouse the cause of the people of Lower Canada against Lord J. RUSSELL and the Colonial Office. It puzzles the Solomons on this side of the water," he says, " to tell why the Liberal Newspapers of Dublin should have gone out of their way to attack the Whig Ministry in Eng land and Ireland, for their domestic and Canadian po licy." "Is there," he i adds, "at last something like estrangement on the part of the Liberals from Lord MuLGRA vE ; or is the whole a plan merely for driving Lord PLUNKET out of office ?" As the hints of the Spectator may 'go for something, and a belief be entertained that all those journals in which the faults and errors of the Ministry are candidly pointed out, are hostile to the present Administration, we must speak for ourselves—and we trust that the motives by which we were actuated likewise influenced the conduct of the Liberal Dublin papers. We arc anxious to see the present Ministry continue in office, and become stronger and stronger every day in the country and in Parliament, because we expect from them measures which will correct the long existing abuses of the country, and give the people good go vernment—which long and dire experience tells us we never can expect from the Toi ics, were they in power. Some of the faults of the Ministers may arise from ig norance ; others from erroneous views which they take of what measures are necessary to carry out the prin ciples they profess. Now, whenever they act contrary to those principles, we .considcr it a friendly act to call their attention to the deviation, and to point out their departure from the broad principles of con stitutional and representative government, to which they are pledged to the nation. We cannot admit that the pointing out all such errors, and complaining of them as infractions on the liberty and rights of the sub ject, ought to be considered as hostile to the Ministers, or indicating any estrangement from them. We, as honest journalists, have loudly complained, and blamed the Ministers for many of their acts of commission, and of omission—we have often done so in lan guage strong, and not to be misunderstood by them, or by any man ; but we have done so without considering ourselves as hostile to the Ministry. With respect to Canada, to which the Spectator refers, we have considered it our duty, and an act of friendship towards Lord MELBOURNE'S Administration, to ob ject to their conduct towards the Canadas, at the time of passing their - resolutions through the House of Commons, as at variance with the great consti tutional principles on which their Ministry was formed ; and we have called the attention of the public to the effects produced in Canada, on the arrival of those resolutions there. We have stated the deep regret and strong indign a ti on w i t h which Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S resolutions have been treated by the representatives of the people, and by public meetings in almost every county and town in the pro vince. We have complained bitterly of the violence with which Earl GOSIORD is carrying on his go vernment there, and attempting to stifle the expression of public opinion upon- these proceedings of the Im. perial Parlia►nent and of the Governor. We havo even intreated Lord MELBOURNE to re-consider his conduct, and even to concede to the wishes of the Ca- nada people, by repealing those odious revolutionary resolutions ; but we nevertheless do not consider ourselves in opposition to, or estranged from the Administration. Quite otherwise. It is because we ----- - are anxious to see the people in Canada contented, and acting in unison with the Government, that we have taken the trouble we have done. We wish to see justice done to Ireland—to the Canadas—and to every portion of the empire ; and therefore we hay .”?-. rit:CEti OF STOCKS TEIS 1)A Y AT ONE !rt.:LULL .ic Stock .., _ India Sto ,l 9t.i f63 3 per Cent. /le i ; . 9l ois %)tttd llonits 3 per Cent.

But we are con fident that these Journals, like ourselves, see so much advantage to Ireland by the continuance of Lord Mtlituttivt there, that they only act as friends and suppotiett of the Ministry, anxious to see the inconsistent and unprincipled conduct towards the Canadas altered, as we do. We may call time atten tion of the Bpctirdo to our conduct towards Lord GatY's Administration when he brought in the odious Coercion Bill for Ireland. We complained, blamed, and exposed the dangerous results to the cause of the people, and to his Lordship's cha racter ; but we never allowed ourselves to act in hostility to his Lordship on account of that ill-advised measure. We regretted such arbitrary con duct, and we foretold that it must end only in the disgrace of his Lordship. It did so, and his Lord ship retired from power to the satisfaction of all sin cere Reformers, who saw in his proceedings against Ireland a dark cloud that would obscure many of his prior popular and constitutional reforms. It has scribe return to- the questions. What benefit has Greece derived from the loan guaranteed to her by Prance and England And what benefit could she hope to derive from a remission of the debt, principal and interest ? He would not surely dare to tell the world that the sums remitted for the accommodation and re generation of Greece have Hot been swallowed up by a horde of hungry Bavarian adventurers, who infest every corner of the newly acquired dominions of King 01'119 ? He would not venture to feign himself ign norant of the fat.t that Bavaria, after appropriating the treasures designed by tngland gild-- France for the exclusive ben e fit o f G r e ece , emp l oye d w h a t littl e fli" plomatic influence she h a d t o es t a bll:l l the exclusive ascendency of Russia at the Court of Athens, arid to foster a jealousy of England in the minds of the Greek Princes and native population ? Bavtiria had as well be silent on the subjcet of Grecian policy, lest we take the trouble to reveal some of her dirty and disgraceful doings, and the means by which vse rendered her worst schemes utterly abortive. The following extracts include the only other morsels of intelligence to be found in these papers : A letter from the frontiers of Bosnia of O!li Oct., says,— " The famous Ali Nidaitsch, Pacha of Dana, who put himself at the head of the late insurrection, was taken pri soner by Wiedschibi Pacha, and sent in chains to Con stantinople ; he has just been pardoned by the Sultan, and has recovered his liberty." A. letter from Belgrade says that a serious dispute had arisen in that city between the Servian Government and the Austrian Consul-General ; and that the latter ha been recalled in consequence.—Le Commerce. 'Y I '1 turned out exactly as we foretold. It is the duty a Lord MELBOURNE, supported as he is by the coup• try, to avoid the error of Earl GREY, and to cur' on the great Reforms in otir institutions which are re• quired. In the last Session Lord JOHN RUSSELL tarnished his constitutional character by introducing coercive resolutions, the prelude to a Coercion Bill against Canada ; and it is because we, and other friends of his Lordship, are most desirous that he should retrace his steps, and save him the disgrace which must ensue if he persist, that we have ventured frankly to bring before him what is passing in that province. But we will not allow that there is any estrangement, on our part, from the Ministry. Lord MULGRAVE has done so much to deserve the gratitude of Ireland, that he may depend on the support of the Liberal Journals, and of Reformers generally ; but they will be his best friends who will point out the faults and errors of his Government. Whether there is any plan to turn out Lord PLUNKET, or not, we cannot say ; but from the complaints of thousands of the best men in Ireland, his Lordship has not seconded Earl MULGRAVE as was expected. Wo.are satisfied his Lordship's retirement would be of great advantage to the popular cause in Ireland. It is because we wish to see justice—complete justice--done to that country, that we should hail the retirement of his Lordship. :he French Journals of Monday merely repeat the telegraphic announcement of the fall of Constan tine, which appeared in one of the Morning, and in all the London Evening, Journals of yesterday. As a few of our earlier numbers contained only the sub stance of the despatch received by the French Go vernment, we re-insert it : " TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCH. " Toulon, Oct. 22, 1837, Nine, " Constantine, Oct. 13. " LIEUTENANT -GENERAL VALLEE TO THE MINISTERS OF WAR AND OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS. " The tri-coloured flag now floats over the walls of Con stantine. The army arrived before the walls on the 6th— the breach was opened on the 11th, and made practicable on the 12th. The Assault was commenced this morning with great bravery, and carried with complete success. The enemy made a vigorous resistance, but our troops achieved a most glorious triumph. His Majesty the King of the French, as well as the whole army, has, however, sustained a great loss ; General Damremont was yesterday killed by a ball, as he was ad vancing to the breaching battery." The death of Count DAMRENIONT, Commander.. in-Chief of the army in Africa and Viceroy of Algiers, is greatly to be lamented. When General DAMREMONT succeeded Marshal CLAUSEL as Go vernor-General in Africa, lie found everything in disorder, and the natives subject to France in a state bordering on open insurrection. His firmness re stored- order ; his impartial dispensation of justice gave confidence to the oppressed, and deprived the na tives of their only incentive to rebellion ; and his na tural clemency, combined with great personal courage, endeared him to the army. To quiet the apprehen sions of the Royal family respecting the safety of the Princes, the despatch above quoted was accom panied by the following : The citizens of Cork gave a splendid entertainment, on Thursday last, to their representatives, Messrs. CALLAGHAN and BEAMISH. These Gentlemen, it will be recollected, were triumphantly returned to Pailiament in defiance of all the efforts of the Orange party, who, with the unscrupulousness as to principle which forms the distinguishing characteristic of Tory ism everywhere, brought into play in this contest, every influence, however base, unconstitutional, or un righteous, which they could command, in order to carry their point. The victory gained by the Liberals at Cork was, therefore, one of the noblest of which Deland had to boast at the late election, inasmuch as " THE MARITIME PREFECT TO THE MINISTER OF WAR. `• Toulon, Oct. 22, Hulf-past Ten. " General Vallee announces to me that his Royal High ness Prince de Joinvillle reached the army on the 17th, and that he is in very good health, as well as his Royal Highness the Duke de Nemours." • it served to bring out, in a conspicuous manner, many of the fine qualities, which are always to be found at the bottom of the Irish character, when put to the proof. In the assertion of their civil and religious rights which were involved in the late election, the citizens of Cork displayed indomitable courage, enthusiastic energy, and a devotion to the interests of religion, which showed that they value it more than any earthly consideration whatever. This new, but long expected, triumph of the French arms in Africa has filled the French capital with re joicing. The roar of cannon announced to the Pari sians the victory achieved over the warlike BEY, who last year repulsed with disgrace a Marshal of the em pire. No intelligence has yet been received of the cost in human life at which this accession to the colonial territory of France has been purchased. It is merely presumed that the slaughter'was dreadful on both sides. From accounts previously received we are led to infer that ACHMET BEY was not in his capital when it was stormed, as his plan was to keep the field at the head of 6,000 chosen horse to harass the French during the siege, which he expected would continue for some weeks. It is needless to say that the great majority of the wealthy and intelligent trading community of the City of Cork attended this festival. WILLIAM PAGAN, Esq. presided, and delighted the meeting with those occasional bursts of impassioned eloquence which it seems not to be in his power to suppress, and which are so effectual in giving the proper tone to the feelings of a public assembly. The Hon. 'Members for the City, on their healths being drunk, addressed their fellow-citizens at consi derable length, and stated their views of the policy which ought to be pursued on the approaching Session of Parliament. These views met with the cordial approbation of the liberal men of Cork, and, as our readers may anticipate, were based upon the i►nmutable principle of "equal justice to all." This is the pole-star that ought to guide the course of all who arc en- The effect of this victory upon the French Electoral Colleges will be so great as to secure, in every instance, the triumph of the Court candidates. This was well fore Seen by the KING, who delayed the march of the expedition till he had decreed the dissolution of the Chambers. We rejoice that victory has attended the arms of France ; though it must strike our Govern ment very forcibly, that we have important national interests at stake, which may be seriously affected by the establishment of a French colony along the Southern coast of tl►e Mediterranean. trusted with the high office of making laws for their fellow-men. Unfortunately, though this principle is admitted by men of all parties, its force is evaded by reason of those false notions and prejudices about religion, which it has been, and, is, the business of learned and unlearned bigots to spread among the people. Thus, justice to a Protestant and to a Catholic community is as different a thing, in the minds of some politicians, as justice is from injustice. Would these worthy Christians take the trouble to read and inwardly digest the beautiful parable of the " Good Samaritan," they would find a clue to direct them easily and safely out of the labyrinth of religious prejudice.

We have no important news from Spain in the Paris Papers of Monday, unless importance be attached to the following extracts : A letter from the frontiers of Spain of the 18th says, it is affirmed that on the 14th the columns of Ullibarri, com posed of 2,000 infantry, and 150 cavalry, arrived at Arta jona to protect the garrisons besieged by the Carlists. On the 16th, at 7 in the morning, a brisk fire of musketry commenced against the Forts of Zubiri and Inigo, in the evening, and still continued. Puente la iteyna and its fort are still closely blockaded. Ever since the 10th no person can go in or out. The situation of Victoria is rather critical ; it is blockaded by the Carlists, and begins to want provisions. The Car lists of that city had formed a project to assassinate several of the inhabitants, and to open the gates, but the Govern ment had information of the conspiracy, and caused 50 of the richest of them to be arrested. If Navarre is not promptly succoured by fresh forces, there is every reason to apprehend disasters which it will not be easy to repair—Sentinelle des Pyrenees. From Madrid no news reached Paris on Monday, in consequence of the stoppage of the couriers by the Carlists. The following extraordinary article is copied from the Munich Political Gazette by most of the Jotirnals of Monday : " It is affirmed that the French Legation has presented to the Greek Government a note to require in energetic terms the payment of the interest and of the instalments for the redemption of the loan guaranteed by the French Government in favour of Greece. " It seems that the communications of the French Am- bassador to his Government are made in the same spirit as those of the E ng li s h A m b assador, and that those gen tlemen are endeavouring to revenge themselves for the loss of their influence in the internal Administration of Greece by attacking the young kingdom in its most vulnerable points." im- Are wonder what answers would this Bayarian TM; SUN, LONDON, SA 4 EDNESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 18;7. LITPRATURE. EDINBURGH REVIEW.—No. Longman, London, 1837. There are some able articles in this Number, which, nevertheless, is on the whole heavy, and discusses matters which should have been discussed two or three years since. We allude, more particularly, to the no tice of " Tucker's Life of Jefferson,"—a clever notice unquestionably, but one ► which should have been permed at the period of that American statesman's death, when his authentic memoirs appeared, under the superintendence of hie nearest relative. " Lamb's Life and Correspondence" is the shrewdest and most careful review we . have yet seen of Sergeant Talfourd's work. It -.is introduced by sonie graceful observations on the subject of letter-writirig c in which the Reviewer very justly repudiates the clairns of Pope to eicellence in this department ; but at the same time makes not the slightest reference to his friend Swift's epistles to Stella (which he called his Journal) — which are unequalled in their way for archness, free and easy diction, sportive humour, and acute specula tions on the passing topics of the day. In speaking of Gray's Letters, the Reviewer calls them " gowned and formal." This is not the case. They are familiar and graceful to a degree, especially those.addressed to West. " The revelations of Cowper and Lamb," we are next told, " take us to the sunny side of human nature." Now if by the word " sunny" the Reviewer implies " cheerful," we must differ with him in his estimate of the character of Lamb's Letters. Wegrant that they are quaint, witty, humourous, affectionate in their character, and stamped throughout with sincerity ; but their preva lent tone is anything but sunny. They are not the buoy ant suggestions of a heart at case, but of a nature dissa tsified with its lot, and constantly struggling between hope and despondency. Lamb hated his position at the India House ; and allusions to this hatred, which, " like Aaron's serpent," swallowed up all his other feelings, are incessant throughout his letters, some times shown in bursts of *forced gaiety, and sometimes in the softened shape of resigned melancholy. We refer to his communications with Manning and Ber nard Barton, for proofs of the truth of what' we as sert. The truth is, though Lamb possessed a thousand noble qualities, he was far too shy and sensitive ever to be able to know what Pope so beautifully calls " the sunshine of the cloudless mind." The Re viewer's analysis of his character is subtle and dis criminating ; but why does he groan so bitterly, and shake his head so gravely, at poor Lamb's occasional festive indulgences ? Is he to be held out as a warning to us, because he was fond of " hearing the chimes at midnight ?" Let us bear in mind his peculiar lot— his patient drudgery for the thirty-five best years of his life ; let us remember, that with a quick and lively fancy ; with an ardent relish for " lettered ease ;" with tastes and habits utterly at variance with those about him ; and a perfect horror of anything that looked like business—it was his fate, from early youth up to within ten years of his death, to sit at a desk, auditing warehousemen's accounts ! Let us remem ber these things, before we permit ourselves to be influenced by the Reviewer's starch and over-virtuous strictures on Lamb's moral character, which, to say the le'ast of them, are sheer cant. When habits of convivial indulgence are the gradual growth of an uneasy mind, which needs the pleasurable ex citement that others have from nature, and which is confirmed by their position in life, they demand our pity rather than our condemnation, which last should be reserved for - him who, like the late Jack Mytton, flies to the bottle from a mere love of animal gratifi cation. The subjoined remarks on Lamb are as just as if Hazlitt himself had written them : " This predilection for, and concentration in the scenes immediately around him, and even the books to which he had got accustomed; narrowed his literary pleasures. He stuck to Fielding and Smollett, and would not be at the trouble of embarrassing himself with the new plots and new faces provided for the world by Scott. Modern poetry met with the sante ungracious reception, except when it came recommended to him by his partiality for the author. The disciple of the ancient faith, who dismisses Byron for the extravagance of his passions, and Shelly for the icy cold ness of his imagination, must have proceeded, we may be sure, quite as summarily and absurdly with the poet of Ke llama, had not friendship stopped his hand. Lamb's sym pathies were more with the barn-door fowl than with the eagle ; and it is evident that he preferred sauntering, as it were, about home with Bernard Barton, to venturing his tranquillity in more vertiginous and distant flights. Within this circle it is true that he indemnified himself to the ut termost by the liberties he took with every domestic inci dent and familiar form. He turned them inside out, and idealised and made gentlefolks of them all. It was this double character which mystified strangers so." " Palgrave's Illustrations of Scottish History" is an elaborate review, smelling strongly of the lamp. It vindicates, and we think triumphantly, the character of our English Justinian, Edward the First, from the charges of bad faith and tyranny which .Hume and some other Scottish historians have heaped upon him, as regards his conduct towards Baliol and Bruce. The review of "D'lsraehi's Novels" is just, and the ex tracts well selected. These popular fictions show de cided genius, but throughout they are too exaggerated. A restless, ambitious desire to produce an effect is evi dent in every chapter—points every paragraph. They have not the free and easy play of nature, or the mellow tone of our good old novels ; but are sparkling, figurative, and replete with con.. ventional west-end witticisms, unintelligible, or at any rate uninteresting, twenty miles from Hyde Park corner. " Senior on Political Economy" is as dull as ditch-water, when stirred up from its muddy depths by a brood of diving, quacking ducks. " The Tribute" is a favourable notice of a collection of poems lately edited by Lord Northampton, and which contains some passable specimens of aristocra tic poesy. " Whewell's History of the Inductive Sciences" is the production of a writer well fit- ted to grapple with a knotty and complex theme. His style is somewhat ponderous, but this re sults from the nature of the information it con- CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK W e have received New Brunswick papers to the '24th of September, and Halifax to the 3d October. The former do not contain any news of interest. The Halifax papers state that they daily receive most gratifying accounts of the abundance of the crops through out the province, and the weather had proved fine for har vesting, and in many places the grain was safely housed. A letter from Newfoundland states that the fishery on the coast this season is a very short one, and the catch does not exceed half of some former years. The Manager for the Branch of the Bank of British North America, in St. John's, having arrived, the business will commence in a few days. The arrivals this morning are few, and not of importance, with the exception of the express from Paris, which brings a confirmation of the taking of Constantina by the French army ; but this has had no effect on the French Funds. THE FUNDS. The speculative business in the British Market during yesterday was inconsiderable ; but in money transactions the operations were to some extent, particularly in the Re duced Annuities, which improved at one period from 91i to 92i ; and the heavy Stocks also continued firm. Consols closed at 92i 93 for the Account ; for Money, 92 ; opened at same • Exchequer Bills, 52 prem. ; India Bonds, 55 p rem . , Bank Stock, 2101. The Foreign Exch anges were fi rm yesterday, and bills on Paris were in request. The financial state of affairs in Lisbon, with the prevail ing opinion that the Portuguese Government will not be able to pay the dividends, have caused much agitation ; in consequence of which a considerable depression t oo k place yesterday in the above Stock.

" Dc. fccts of, the Reform Bill" is an article penned in an astute, liberal, and practical spirit. It recommends the trial of that great experiment the " Ballot"—a sort of half recantation of an old prejudice against it, on the part of the Edinburgh Rcview, which does that journal great credit. " Ireland under Lord Mu!grave" is an admirable paper, as regards both !natter and manner. The Reviewer does justice—and no more than justice—to the enlightened system of policy pursued by the Noble Earl ;and shows, by a series of irrefragable proofs that it has been attended with the most fortunate results. "We regard it," says he, " with no common feelings of satisfaction. We rejoice over the better prospect which it opens to our long suffering neighbours and fellow-subjects. Above all, we rejoice at the triumph it has afforded to those liberal principles which, in their particular application to Ire land, will prove the best safeguard for the continuance of that connection between the two countries, which, however passion or prejudice may dispute its advan tages, is not only favourable, but essential, to the best interests of both." We recommend the perusal of this well-reasoned essay to those Tories who still doubt the benefits which Lord Mulgrave's system of Policy has conferred on the sister-country. CAMPBELL'S POEMS.

It will be observed that our notices of the A nnuals that they are usually favourable ; and for this reason, are works, not meant to be scrutinized by the sere eye of criticism, but to be admired, withou t a orAy a wherefore, for their brief season ; and then, having, lain a suffi c i en t time on the boudoir, or dra win g -room table, to be thrown aside, like a last year's fashion, and be forgotten. Annuals are " chartered Jibe' tines" in literature", andio subject them to the ordin%Yt laws of criticism is not to displ:tv one's sagacity, b one's pedantry—in short, to " break a butter fl y ti p o i n i a wheel." In the instance, however, •of the sP le ` r, did quarto volume before us, there needs no ferheave ance on our parts. To speak favourably , we i , la a ll only to speak justly of it, so highly finished are the its engravings, and so elegant and appropriate ;:y poetical Illustrations that accompany them.
