' • _ _ 'These extracts, coupled with the speeches delivered at the Manchester meeting, place the question of the necessity of a plan of National Education in the strongest light. The people will not longer tolerate such a state of things. The working classes must be educated. The welfare of the country demands that they should ; and it is the duty both of the Govern ment and of Parliament to take measures for securing them such instruction as shall tend to make them use ful and virtuous citizens. The advocates of oligarchical Government are fond of twitting the Reformers with inconsistency, because the latter arc anxious to have thc'lleforin Bill amended. " The famous Reform Bill," remarks a morning cir culator of fashionable frivolities " is not yet five years old, hut the democratic party arc already weary of the changes which it has produced. It is not enough for them." There is a little mistake here. The Refor mers are not weary of the changes produced by the Reform Bill, but of those enormous evils which the Bill was intended to remedy, and which but for the unprin cipled conduct of the Tories it would have remedied ; and so weary are they of these evils—so much do they etest and abhor them—that they are determined never to rest until they have put an end to them. Had the To ries, at all times and under all circumstances the enemies of liberty, given the Reform Bill fair play, or anything like fair play, the Reformers would have been satisfied with it, for they are as averse to change, merely for the sake of change, as the Tories are. The object of the Reform Bill was, by extending the suffrage, to secure a fair representation of the poli tical sentiments of the people in the Commons' House of Parliament. Has it done so ? Not even a Tory can be found so case-hardened in conscience as to say that it has. And why has it failed? Because its pro- visions, most of them good in themselves, have bee❑ perverted or evaded by a faction acknowledging no principle of honour or morality, and recognizing no rule of action, but that which leads by the shortest way to the gratification of a base self interest.. It is to the manufacture of fictitious votes by Tory agency—to the corruption of the elec tors by Tory gold—to the coercion of the electors by the tyranny of a Tory aristocracy—that we owe the failure of the Reform Bill. Now the very purpose of the Bill was to prevent all such iniquitous and uncon stitutional practices ; and as it has been found, on trial, totally inadequate to accomplish this purpose, the same reasons that induced the Reformers to demand it, now call upon them more forcibly than ever to demand one that shall do its office effectually. Is there inconsis tency in this? No. The inconsistency would be in resting content with a measure which answers not the ends for which it was framed. The charge brought against the Reformers is therefore equally ab surd and unjust. It shows that the accuser is either a simpleton, or something not quite so respectable—that he either does not know, or does not care, what he says. The changes which the Reformers desire arc merely such as shall make the House of Commons in practice what it is in theory—the representative of the people, speaking their sentiments and embodying their power. How this is to be best attained may be a question even among Reformers; but every thinking man, whatever be his political creed, must allow that, until it is attained, it is a glaring abuse of terms to say that we live under a representative form of Govern ment. If the question at issue between the Reformers and their opponents be calmly considered, it will he found to hinge entirely upon the point—whether we shall have such a form of Government or not ? The Reformers and the Constitution say " Aye"—the Torics " No." When it comes seriously to a division, we know—and so do the Tories—that the " Ayes will have it," and that, too, by an overwhelming majority. The Tories at all times, in season and out of season, delight in talking about a re-action in their favour ; but the empty boast deceives no one, because the evidence of facts, the best of all possible evidence, proves that the policy of theiF, party is not only as odious to the great body of the people as it ever has been since the spread of knowledge ; but that men's minds have now arrived at the settled conviction that the ascendancy of this party of political knaves is inconsistent with the public interest. The public now know and feel that the spirit of Toryism is the spirit of self-aggrandise ment, incorporated with a grinding tyranny the more dangerous as it. often assumes a fair exterior. The Tories have fallen—and in our consciences we believe we may add—never to rise again : they are wrecked, and are compelled to trust for getting again into the harbour of place to one single plank. Open voting is :hey know• that plank—let them lose it, and they lose ever all chance of preying upon and pillaging the people. The introduction of the Ballot and the sub- mersion of the unhappy Tories will be contemporaneous. Give the people the Ballot-shield, and they will at once deprive their enemies of the power of doing further mischief to the country. With this conviction of the efficacy of the Ballot, we cannot but be extremely gratified to perceive that the flagitious acts performed, the fatal outrages com mitted, and the scandalous scenes of debauchery in its most disgnsting form witnessed, at the last general eleetien, have been attended with at least one counter vailing beneficial result. The " foul influences which were recently in active operation, more or less, pretty generally throughout the breadth and length of the entire kingdom, we are rejoiced to find, have engen dered in the minds of the healthier portio❑ of the elec toral body a determination to get rid of them. The alarmed and deeply injured electors have been stimu lated to exertion by a dread, no less just than strong, of a recurrence of that frightful, degrading, and demo ralizing exhibition which was recently occasioned by the Corruptionists, whose lust of power led them to acts of political profligacy—of unexampled turpitude —and whose disappointed mllice has since-broken out in cruel and tyrannous oppression. In proof of the progress the demand for the Ballot is making, we may refer, amongst numerous other evi- ( k nee s, to the great meeting held a day or two ago at Framlingham, in the agricultural county of Suffolk. The report of this numerous and respectable meeting, at which were present deputations from upwards of forty parishes, will be found elsewhere. This important and influential demonstration of public opinion, we learn, originated with Mr. JOHN tr.ns, a Reformer, with whose zeal and perseve rance in the cause of civil and religious liberty gene _ rally, as well as his suffering for conscience sake, few pet sons arc unacquainted ; and to whose self-sacrificing, conscientious, and uncompromising hostility, in parti cular to Church-rates—that odious impost, in which meanness and -inkistice arc equally manifest—we have, on former occasions, so frequently had the gratifica tion of bearing testimony. That the same man who has so often denounced Church-rates should now be foremost at Frandiugham in demanding the Ballot is consistent ; for, it is obvious, that the ecclesiastical impost is a consequence of misrepresentation—one of the numberless evils and gricvanas necessarily resul ting From the defective state of our representative sys tem. There must ever be an identity of interests be tween the Church-rate abolitionists and the advocates for the application of the protective principle to our electoral machinery. The Ballot, it is seen, is the political lever by which the burthens of Dissenters, as well as those which press upon all the other members of the community, may be removed. We have now lying before us a petition pre- Vin attn. LONDON : TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 31, 1837. In our columns of this day will be found, abridged fr cnn the Manchester Times, a highly interesting report of the proceedings at a public meeting held at the V anehester Theatre on Thursday evening last, on the i mportant subject of National Education. Lord B ItOUGHAM and the Bishop of Noilwrcir were in vited to attend, but both were prevented from being p r esent ; the former on account of the illness of some of g ()Ni of his family, the latter in consequence of b ed to give preference to the discharge certain episcopal duties. The letters of the r ate Lord Ch ance ll or an d t h e venera bl e P re l a t e wer e ead to the meeting ; and as they are of national im- Porta -rice, we have given them without curtailment , t""ln ced that, by the bulk of our readers, they will tie as h ighly appreciated as by the intelligent inhabi tants of Manchester. The chair was ably filled by M r' MARK PHILIPS, M.P., and the meeting ad are ss e d d at gre a t l engt h b y M r .

In the midst of a luminous speech, in N IIP P ar t of the establishment of a general system of atio nal Education, Mr. WYSE read some extracts °4l Reports of the State of Education in Man chester and its vicinity, which quite electrified the to (sis eetia g• The first had reference to the state of the 'W° l s, and is as follows : dir t 4e nEsysti.—" These schools are generally found in very Ittpi 3 d r ; u nwholesome rooms , f requen tly i n d am p c e llars, or di . hitt, ter te d,garrets—attributable to the extreme poverty of the S AL , 'Ark „1 40 —" The poorer schools of this class are kept in lite a j li u confined rooms, ill-furbished, and some are found in viee t .sll3 exposed to noxious effluNia.

The Humble Petition of the undersigned Inhabitants of the borough of Cirencester, and its Vicinity, Sheweth,—That your Petitioners deeply regret the existence of the disgracefnl rioting, drunkenness, debauchery, coercion, intinzidation, exclusive dealing, bribery, and corruption of every kind, and the commission of the foul crime of Murder, which have taken place and been committed in numerous places at the late election, which result from open voting, and which render it imperative on all good men to seek the attain ment of the Ballot with all their might, as the only cff•ctual remedy for such evils. That the time is arrived when any fur ther delay in using every possible means for procuring protec tion to the electors of the United Kingdom, will be highly criminal. That witnessing the coercion which is exercised over the electors, your Petitioners are painfully convinced that an extension of the suffrage without secret voting, would greatly increase the present corrupt practices. That your Peti tioners disclaim all party motives, feelings, or prejudice, and are convinced that Election by Ballot would equally protect the honest candidate against the corrupt voter, and the honest voter against a corrupt candidate. That the sense of the people can only be taken by secret voting, and that elections by open voting are entirely fallacious. " Your petitioners therefore humbly pray that the first Act of her Majesty's new Parliament will be an Act for Vote by Ballot." To offer a word in support of the principle of pro tecting the Voter by Ballot were a work of superoga tion, as well as an insult to the common-sense of our readers. The expediency alone of its introduction at the present period can be made matter for discussion. And on this point men " out of doors," whatever wavcrers elsewhere may think, have made up their minds : the Ministers ought to seize the golden oppor tunity which the new Parliament will present to them for carrying the question of Vote by Ballot. If the Court be really with the MELBOURNE Administra tion, no difficulty can occur which might not be sur mounted by the dread of a dissolution, and a deter mination, if needs be, to purify the Peerage by a liberal infusion of fresh and better blood. We do, therefore, earnestly desire and confidently hope, that the great grievance of unprotected voting—that crying evil and enormous wrong of our electoral system—will be redressed in the ensuing session. Without pro tection to the humble voter the franchise is worse than nugatory : it acts as a great and positive evil upon the possessor. The political plague spot, then, of our mode of voting must be cured effectually and promptly ; for in the Ballot alone lies the salvation of the country. By the -arrival of the Iberia steamer, at Falmouth, from the Tagus, we have received advices from Lisbon to the 25th inst. Senhors CASTRO PEREIRA and BOVEDA have positively refused to continue in office as Ministers of the War and Foreign Departments. Who are to be their successors was not known, as it seems to be the study of every man of character and influence in Portugal to have nothing to do with the Cabinet. The Cortes were engaged with their consti tutional labours. To make the QUEEN amends for conferring on the people the right of electing the House of Peers, they had voted, by a majority of 44 votes to 17, that her Most Faithful MAJESTY should be empowered to prorogue and dissolve the Cortcs at pleasure. The Chambers, however, must be sum moned again within a limited time, and should the QUEEN decline so to summon them, they can meet cf their own authority, and enter upon the discharge of their proper representative functions without the formal sanction of the Crown. We are informed that the Portuguese Cabinet is doing all in its power to induce our Government to re cal Lord HOWARD DE WALDEN, our Ambassador at the Court of Lisbon. For this purpose a note has been addressed to Lord PALMERSTON, suggesting that the Ministers of Queen DONNA MARIA would prefer corresponding directly with his Lordship. This, of course, is tantamount to a request that Lord HOWARD DE WALDEN may be recalled forthwith. What course Lord PALMERSTON will pursue we know not. The Queen of PORTUGAL disapproves of the conduct of her Ministers in this affair. For our own part, we think the question of secon dary importance. Lord HOWARD DE WALDEN has rendered England very little service by his residence at Lisbon, and except in the recent case of the Viscount DAS ANTAS' proclamation, was at no trouble to assert the inviolability of our national honour. It may be possible, too, that he held out expectations to the QUEEN, in the event of the late rebellion succeeding, which might justify the fears of the Constitutionalists of the observance by England of a strict neutrality. We therefore repeat, that to us the question of his Lordship's recal is one of no national importance. Senhor MANDEL DE PAssos, the late Minister of Finance, was so dangerously ill when the Iberia sailed that his life was despaired of. his death at the present moment would he a national calamity. He is one of the few honest patriots of whom Portu gal can yet boast. Admiral NAPIER has arrived in England. The whole of the Paris „Journals of Sunday have been received. All the Liberal Opposition prints con tend that the victory of the French in Africa was pur chased at a frightful sacrifice of human life—that in the attack on Constantine a thousand French soldi ers were killed, and thrice as many wounded—and they emphatically ask what occasion was thew for such a waste of human life ? The Moniteur and the Charie maintain that the despatches were correct, and that no reliance ought to be placed on statements vouched for merely by extracts from pretended letters from Con stantine. On Friday the medical students accused of hav ing plotted the murder of the KING, during the celebration of the ORLEANS' marriage festival at the Hotel de Ville, were brought to trial, and acquitted. The witnesses for the prosecution were two sergeants and a corporal, whose evidence was not believed by the jury. These wretches were themselves the concoctors of a plot which nearly ter-. initiated in the judicial murder of four innocent young men, who have already been doomed to endure months of imprisonment under the suspicion of being inten tionally guilty of parricide. We shall see what steps the Government will take to punish these false wit nesses. Bad as was the state of the criminal law in England before time passing of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S Acts, our code was perfection itself compared with the practice of the criminal tribunals of France. We have received advices of the arrival at Estella of the Infante DON SEBASTIA N. It is further ru moured that the Pretender was following in the wake of his nephew, and had, on the 23d, approached to within a few leagues of the Ebro, with the intention of winteri ng in Navarre. The heavy rains were beginning to render the river impassable at the fords, and it was the opinion of the Carlist Chiefs, that were the Ebro to rise it would be impossible to effect the passage of the river at any of the bridges, as the QUEEN'S Generals were hanging on their rear, and could anticip a t e t h e i r movements. On the 22d Es- PA RTEnO was close to the city of Soria, in pursuit of the main body of th e C ar li sts, w h o h e suppose d to be i sheltered n the pine woods in that neighbourhood. It was rumoured at Sarragossa on the 23d that Don CARLOS actually crossed the Ebro on the night of the 21st. and morning of the 22d ; nor was the report contradicted when the latest advices left that city. The following are extracts from the Journals : (Private Correspondence of the Constitutionnel.) SARiGOsSA, OCT. 22.—General Oraa has occupied with his division the villages around Cantavieja. His brave sol diers have carried the outworks, and it is this which has given rise to the report of the taking of the fort of Canta vitja. Oraa has been obliged to detach Borso's brigade to cheek the bands of Cabanero ; but as soon as that brigade returns he will storm the place. We have had no news of his army these three days, for some detachments of the Chief Sanz infest the country between Teruel and Saragossa. OLORON, OCT. 24.—1 can announce to you without he sitation that the Pretender is at his old covert at Estella. This is also the opinion of the Captain-Gcneral of Arragon. The National Guards of Valcarlos and Isara behave like heroes, and their bravery is such, that the faction of Zubiri has not yet been able to enter those towns. GERMAN PAP ERS. HAMBUIIGII, OCT. 27.—Th• Hamburgh Correspondent of to-day contains the following letter from Berlin, 2-Ith October :—" A great sensation has been produced in our diplomatic circles by the arrival of the intelligence that Prince Paskewitsch, the Governor of Poland, han received leave of absence for several years. Already, before his ab sence, and more especially some days before his departure from Toplitz, which.it may be remembered was very pre cipitate, and on which he did not take the road by way of Bzrlin, but the shortest route through Breslau, without stopping, persons, whose situation enabled them to see fur ther into the affairs of Russia and Poland conjectured that there would be important changes in this respect." (From the Prussian State Gazette.) WARSAW, OCT. 20.—Various evolutions were executed yesterday by the regiments of our garrison and the Mussel man cavalry regiments that have lately arrived here, in the environs of Bulamy, before Field-Marshal the Prince of Warsaw. There was afterwards a grand dinner given to the Prince and Princess. The Council of Administration announces that the Government Gazette, which, on account of some impediments, could not commence on the Ist of May, as intended, will certainly appear on the Ist of Jan., 1835. It mill contain chiefly all Government ordinances and official notices in the Russian and Polish languages. The price to be three florins per quarter, and the Govern ment will give twenty thousand florins in addition to the profits, to defray the expenses. Should there be a surplus, it will be returned to the Treasury.

The Count Du Val de 13caulicu, recently arrived in England, is the Belgian nobleman so celebrated in that country as the possessor of its most extensive stud of horses—nearly 000 ; and who at the Brussels races has in variably won the first prize cup of 2001. from the al country horses of the English cross. The Count, being President of the institution of the breed of horses in Belgium, came to England for the purpose of attending the sale of the stud at Hampton-court ; as also to visit those English families to whom his own houses in Belgium were ever opened with true princely hospitality. Count Du Val was formerly Am bassador to the Court of Berlin, and is at present a Belgian senator. The Stable-yard, St. James's Palace, was quite in a bustle yesterday evening, owing to the number of ea' is and waggons sent to bring away the building materials of Harrington House. The building has been unroofed, and the window frames and sashes taken out, preparatory to its demolition. The house was given as a residence, during the reign of King George the Third, to the late Earl of Harrington, and was for a short time tenanted by the pre sent Earl, before he removed to Pembroke House. The restoration of the ancient banking-house of Messrs. Child and Co., adjoining Temple-bar, appears to have called the attention of the City authorities to the black and dirty state of the stone work of this venerable piece of a ntiquity. The gate itself having been mended and painted, scaffold poles have now been erected, upon which to raise a platform for the repair of the masonry, as well as the cleaning of the sculpture which adorns it. As the day approaches, the interest manifested in her Majesty's visit increases, and the streets arc gerierally full of curious gazers, who arc determined to see the preparations for it, if they do not witness the procession itself. Seats have been erected at St. Mary's and St. Clement's Churches in the Strand, and at St. Dunstan's, Fleet-street, to accom modate the children and the patrons and patronesses of schools attached to these parishes. In the front and at the south and s outh-east sides, seats are erected for the scholars and friends of St. Paul's School, and for the friends of the dignitaries of the Cathedra). At the north-west end of Cheapside an extensive platform is in the course of con struction for the scholars of the New City School. STORIES OE SPANISH LlFE.—There is no other national character so little known, and at the same time so full of interest, as that of the Spaniard of the present day. And this is especially true of the female part of the nation. The Spanish women are the most calumniated of their sex, and the details of Spanish life which arise out of the in fluence which they exercise in the domestic circle, arc less understood and appreciated in this country than are simi lar details connected with the wilds of Africa or the back woods of America. \\re are happy to observe that the work of Colonel Crawfurd under the above title, is calcu lated to remove this discreditable ignorance. It contains numerous sketches, taken (" on the spot ") from almost every class of" Spanish Life," the truth of which cannot be doubted, and thb result 6f which must be to give a much higher and more favourable impression of the moral condi tion of society in that interesting country, than any that has hitherto been offered to the English public. M. Gaudin has presented a report to the Institute of Paris detailing his mode of proceeding in the preparation of fictitious rubies, which in every respect resemble those found in nature. He submits aluminium, with a small quantity of chromate of potash, previously calcined, to the influence of nxy-hydrogen blow-pipe, by the action of which the material is melted, and on cooling the chrystal presents all the characteristics of the ruby. The Academy appointed M. Becquerel to examine into the merit of the discovery, and, his report being deemed conclusive, presented their thanks to the author. The last few days the students of King's College have had several meetings all fully attended. Their object was to petition the Lord Mayor Elect for seats in the City to view the ensuing procession, and to deliver a con gratulatory address to our youthful Queen. Accordingly on Thursday a Deputation waited with an Address signed by 150 on the Lord Mayor Elect. lie expressed himself highly gratified at the demonstration of feeling which per vaded the students. However, he was sorry he could not comply with the petition, since he had not the disposal of any vacant scats in St. Paul's Church-yard or elsewhere. In consequence of the result it has been agreed upon Ly the students to defray all expenses attending an erection in front of the College capable of holding from 200 to 300. At the same time they intend to present an address to her Majesty on tl.e occasion of her visit. Mr. J. C. Colquhoun, who succeeded in rcinovlng Dr. Bowring from the representation of Kilmarnock, and who can now boast of being the only Tory Member whom the Scottish Burghs have returned to Parliament, has been for several weeks past writing long letters to Mr. James Carlile, in condemnation of the hish system of education. FORTWILLIAM, OCT. 21.—The weather has kept most propitiou s for the purposes of husbandry, and has enabled U 3 to get our crops completely secured, and in ex cellent condition. This part of the country never exhibited a more smiling aspect. The harvest has been most unpre ccdentedly abundant ; the crop, especially the potatoe, which is of greatest consumption among the poorer classes, is about an average of one-third more plentiful than last year, and the price of sheep and black cattle has bee❑ most cheering. Such is the case throughout the greater part of the West Highlands, which will prevent the Highlander from making an appeal to the public, as was done last year. —lnverness Courier. CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN.) William Hogan, aged thirty-three, a turner, was in dicted with feloniously and maliciously cutting and wound ing Charles Randyll, a policc.man, on the 2:3d of Septem ber last, with intent to murder him. Mr. PAYNE conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. PHILLIPS appeared as Counsel for the prisoner. From the statements of the Counsel for the prosecution, and the evidence adduced, it appeared that the prosecutor, who was one of the members of the police force, was on duty, on the night of the 23d of September, at East Smith field. The prisoner was in the streets at eleven o'clock at night, playing the bagpipes, which caused the collection of a great number of persons, among whom the prosecutor dis covered several of bad character. The prosecutor desired the prisoner to go on, which he refused to do, upon which the prosecutor gave him a slight push ; the pri soner th en d rew from his pocket the blade of a razor, which was fastened to two pieces of horn by a string, which he drew across the prosecutor's face, and wounded him severely. In conse quence of the severe manner in which he was wounded, the prosecutor was unable to attend to his duties for up wards of a fortnight. The prisoner, when taken to the sta tion house, did not make any complaint of having been ill used by the police, but when taken before the Magistrates, he stated that he had been beaten severely by them with their staves. West, a policeman, confirmed the statements of the pro. secutor, to whose assistance he went on the night in ques tion. He found him bleeding very much from the face. After he had obtained assistance he took the prisoner into custody. Mr. PHILLIPS addressed the Jury for the prisoner. Several persons gave him an excellent character for hu manity. Mr. Justice COLTMAN summed up, and the Jury found the prisoner Guilty of the assault only. NEW COURT. Charles Bell, Charles Curtly, Daniel Goodihin, Benjamin Evans, and Thomas Gradwickc surrendered to their bail, and were indicted for stealing at Woolwich, on the 23d inst., a large quantity of leaden pipe and 300 lbs. of other lead, from a building, the property of Mr. J. Galloway. The case involves the question of right to the property in question. A number of Counsel were engaged on both sides, and after a long discussion between them and the Bench, it was arranged that the trial should take place on the first day of the next Sessions, the prisoners being in the meantime liberated on their own recognizances. Charles Goodwin and Michael Bell stood indicted for a similar offence, and which arose out of the same disputed right, and were liberated on the same terms. J. S. Dowries was indicted for stealing some books, the property of his master, Mr. State, a worker in pearls in Charles-street, Hatton-garden. The evidence was clear, the property being found in the possession of the prisoner. The prosecutor complained of being a severe sufferer from similar depredations. The COMMON SERGEANT said, unfortunately the crime of stealing by servants was greatly on the increase. He would do all in his power to check the offence, and he was afraid the prisoner must prepare to leave this country for some time. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.) DEAL, OCT. 30.—Wind W. S.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) T ELVE O'CLOCK The Lisbon papers of the 24th instant state that the Cortes have decided that the Crown shall have the power to dissolve the first Chamber ; but they have not decided as vet as to the dissolution of the second Chamber. We do not hear as yet of the arrival of the American packet ship of the Bth inst. from New York, although the wind is fair. _ _ . Consols, which closed yesterday firm at 93i for the Ac count and same for Money, opened this morning at the above prices. Exchequer Bills, 51 ; Bank Stock, 211 ; India Stock, 26;3 ; and India Bonds, 53. In the Foreign Market it is settling-day in all foreign Stocks, and the chief account to settle is in Portuguese ; but no failures arc expected to take place. Portuguese closed at 321, opened at 321 33. The news from Lisbon has not had any effect on the above Stock. Spanish Active closed at 191, with Coupons, opened at 191 20. ; Mexican, 261 ; Colombian, 2.1% : and Dutch Two-mid-a-Ilalf per Cents., 531 HALF-PA ST • ONE O'CLOCK.. Consols have continued firm during the morning at 93h- both for Money and for the Account ; Exchequer Bills, 53 51 ; India Bonds, 53 55 ; Bank Stock, 211 ; India Stock, 2631. In the Foreign Market the chief operations arc settling the foreign account, which at present is going off well. The extreme fluctuation in Pct uguese Stock during the account has been about (i to 7 per cent. The other ac counts to settle are not of a heavy description. Portuguese Stock, which was in the course of the morning at 324, has since improved to 834, owing to a supposition that an agent of the Portuguese Government has been sent to this country to settle some kind of condi. tions for the payment of the dividends.

The Princess Augusta of Saxony and suite arrived from Brighton at the Ship Hotel, buyer, on Thursday night, and on Saturday morning embarked on board her Majesty's packet Swallow, for Calais, under a salute from the gunS at the heights. The Emperor of Russia, and his chest son, after a stay of ten days in the Crimea, embarked at Yalta, at nine o'clock in the evening of Sunday, the Ist of October, for Gelenjik, on the coast of Circassia. M. WTekler, a native of Riga, who has been at Rome studying the art of working in mosaic, has presented to the Emperor of Russia a copy of the " Transfiguration' by Raphael, made by him after this difficult process. He has been engaged by the Russian Government to take the direction of a school at St. Petersburgh, for teaching the art to young persons who may show an aptitude for it, and who are to be instructed gratuitously. Mr. Ebenezer Elliot, the corn-law rhymer, has just completed a course of lectures " on the modern poets," before the Literary Institution, Leeds. In the first lecture he e ndeavoured to establish the proposition that " Poetry is s elf-communion." The truth and energy with which he —a sexagenarian, making almost his first appearance as a lecturer—gave some of his poetical illustrations, far ex ceeded what we have often heard from professors of elocu tion, and scarcely fell short of our conception of the poet reciting his own verses.—Leeds Mercury, M. Von Baer, lately sent by the Russian Govern ment on a scientific expedition to Nova Z-Anbla, returned to Archangel on the 11th of September. S I ~•••. „ _ 0 , LITERATURE. A RESIDENCE IN GREECE ANI\ WITH NOTES OF A JOURNEI"Y BULGARIA, SER VIA, HUNGARY,UiteD4Wit: 4III Z BALKAN. IN 2 Voz.s. Br FRANCIS ESQ. London, Whittaker and Co. 1837. The author of these volumes has so faithfully sketched their character in the opening chapter, in his delineation of his own individual peculiarities, that our criticism shall not extend beyond an apposite quota tion from it ; followed by au extract or two as samples of his desciiptive powers. " I entreat those readers," lie commences, - " who are attached to anything in the shape of order or system at once to shut the book, as I never could, in any transaction through life, arrive at that most desirable of all talents, arrangement. I may almost state that I was born an artist, beginning to wield a pencil even before I had quitted my female attire ; but know not why I could never acquire any other artist-like quality than that of a total waPit of order, which has characterised the whole of my pro gress. I must also crave pardon for a sort of restless ness which will occasion me now and then suddenly to traverse the continent, perhaps from Constantinople to Calais, or leap from the Archipelago to the extre mity of the Mediterranean, from thence cross the English or Irish channel, as caprice may dictate, with a rapidity infinitely surpassing any travelling yet per formed by steam boats, steam carriages, or even balloons ; and above all I must beg of the reader never to expect that because I set out for any given place, that I should probably arrive at the stated destination ; for such has ever been my uncalculating want of fore sight that even by that most straightforward mode of travelling, the stage coach, with a genius peculiar to myself for erring and straying from the right path, I have contrived to mount the wrong vehicle, and after. having proceeded some miles on a false track, have at length discovered that I was at fault, by the conversation of the passengers, or some other circumstance, which has happily occurred to, enlighten me in my devious course ; and in embarking on board a vessel bound for a certain port, however the ship may arrive at its wished for harbour, it by no means follows that I should arrive with it," But notwithstanding our author's want of system, and his erratic freaks of fancy, he is to all travelling intents and purposes a most lively, gossiping, and agreeable companion. About the phi losophy of objects he never once troubles himself or others. What he saw he describes just as it struck him at the moment, satisfied if he can only convey to the reader his individual impressions which are some times ludicrous enough. As an example we give his description of the far-famed Greek beauties : " My ideas of Grecian beauty had been so exalted by the poet and the sculptor, that I had expected to meet scarce any but angels and syrens at every step and . turn, instead of which, they struck me as being some unfortunate maniacs who had by some chance escaped from their keepers, as I appeal to all my reasonable readers if there be not a degree of madness, in the summer season, in the burning climate of Greece, to dress in shawls, velvets, and heavy clothes trimmed with furs, add to which turbans puffed out to such extravagant dimensions as no rational being in any civilized country could think of wearing, without she were deter mined to astonish every passerby ; and not content with the extraordinary appearance of these over be-puffed head dresses, they must stick a quantity of real flowers in them, with so little regard either to form, colour, or assortment, that one might reasonably suppose they were all acting the part of Crazy Jane. Nor were their personal charms by any means calculated to compensate thrr these extravaganza. Their eyes are generally considered fine ; hut I should say the expression was harsh, mostly very dark, and surmounted by a pair of man's eyebrows : the mouth and nose being equally heavy, the countenance has a masculine appearance ; and as to their complexions, one might imagine that they stained themselves with tobacco juice. Tneir heads are naturally large, the effect of which they increase by their outrageous manner of adorning them. Their stature is mostly very short, and their waists generally rival in thick ness the rest of their person ; but they arc frequently so constructed as to appear much taller when sitting than standing. What the French call tournure could not be expected from the little communication they had with po li,ted nations ; but nature has preveated any possibility of hoping that even education could confer elegance of deport ment, as what possible grace can ever be produced from a large head stuck upon a little dumpy woman ? The total want of symmetry observable in their proportions may be physically accounted for. Seven-eights of their lives which are not spent in sleep, are passed by them sitting on their heels huddled up upon their sofas ; and this constant unna tural contraction has doubtless much influence upon their figures, not having those advantages which a proper degree of exercise affords in giving strength and elasticity to the form, so conducive to health and grace ; as those whose oc cupations doom them to pr:serve a cramped posture, ever display a degree of awkwardness in walking, and in fact in all their movements." Mr. Herv6 was introduced to King Otho, whom he says the English have satirically nicknamed the " Ugly King of Greece." He considers the soubriquet un merited, and, to prove that it is so, favours his readers with the following sketch of his Majesty, than which, he assures us, no correct outline can be more flattering : " When one beholds a Sovereign, we generally look at him with a very scrutinising rye, endeavouring to discern a something beyond the ordinary stamp of man. To make any discovery of that description in Otho, must require a being of superior penetration ; at any rate, I must confess my own deficiency in that respect, never having been able to perceive that majesty of appearance in the young king which we naturally imagine the attribute of monarchs. His countenance is ever replete with the expression of good nature, and is in that instance a faithful index of his cha racter. He is in stature about the middle height, perhaps rather above—may be from five feet nine to ten inches : would appear taller if he did net, wear his hair so flat to his head, as though it were gummed thereon ; and as if to pre serve it constantly in an unrefiled state, he has a habit ever and anon of stroking it down with his hand, thereby re taining it in the most perfact and obedient state of smooth ness that man could desire : I never saw one rebel hair, astray ; happy would he be could be keep his subjects in the same state of subordination. But I suspect that this extreme neatness of coiffeur as,ists in giving him the air of a grocer's apprentice, when dressed in his Sunday clothes that is to say, those of Bishopsgate-street or Holborn, v s those of the west-end arc more stylish-looking fellows than King Otho ; and indeed lie has ether symptoms which savour of the grocer's shop, having a curious knack of ton tinu.dly giving innumerable little nods of his head, which one might be led to imagine he had acquired front ender vouring to emulate these Chinese figures, the usual appen dages of dealers in groceries. The comparison may he carried still further : nothing can be more inoffensive than the physiognomy of thoe images ; but undoubtedly that of the Kicg's is as much so, In fact, he always appeared to me to have the expression of a good lad whose master had just patted him on the Lead, An d Said to him " There's a good boy ;' thus giving the youth ati air of satisfaction with himself and all the world. It would not be fair for me . to comment on his colloquial powers, not understanding, the German language : what converse we ever had together was in French, which he spoke very indifferently ; and having a great many nervous li ttle twists and quirks in ad dition to the Aforesaid incessa nt nods of the head, his arti culation appeared to me to be impeded, though his animation certainly was increased by these vivacious gesticulations. The fact was, that I could seldom understand what he said, and it was quite evident that I was as rarely comprehended • by . I • 'tis true he is deaf with one car, and I wit h tn y . usual bad tact always contrived to feet on the deaf side ; it may therefore be easily imagined that b our conversation 11;0 not very brilliant, having no other merit than its brevity." • The work is embellished with a great number of lithographic engravings by the author, most of w Lich are very handsomely executed. It overflows with plea• sant anecdotes.
