At a recent meeting of the Committee of the Marylebone Club, held in the Pavilion at Lord's, at which there were present, the Hon. Colonel Lowther, the Hon. Frederick Ponsonby, the Hon. Capt. Liddell, Sir John Bayley, Bart., Charles -larenc, Esq., and Roger Kynaston, jun., Esq., when the following regulations were adopted:— " The Committee will make the usual selection of gentle men and players for the several matches during the season ; and being most anxious that as many of the former as possi ble should be chosen, they invite all members desirous of playing to give their names to Mr. Dark, or the Hon. Secre tary of tt e club. " The attendance of members on practice-days being usu ally very large, and complaints having been made that the bowlers of the club are not always in the way when wanted, more especially when a match terminates on a practice day, the Committee have unanimously adopted the following re gulations, which, in future, will be strictly enforced : " The Hon. Secretary will continue to enter the names of the bowlers, who will attend on the four practice-days, in the Bowlers Book,' and the same will be placed every Monday afternoon on the table in the Pavilion. " Leave ofabsence during the week will not be granted to any bowler wl:o shall not have signified his wish to the Hon. Secretary, or a member of the Committee, if on the ground, before three o'clock on Monday. ... "' No bowler, unless employed on the service of the club, will be allobsed to be absent more than four practice-days during the season ; and then efficient substitutes must be found. "‘At the conclusion of a match half an hour will be granted to those buwlers who have either played, scored, or stood umpire; and at the expiration of that time they must take their places on the ground : the others must have the wickets immediately pitched for practice. "' Members are particularly requested to address all com plaints in wri , ing to the Hon. Secretary of the club.' " " REMUNERATION TO BE PAID TO THE PLAYERS. " The committee having considered the subject of the re muneration to the professional players for winning, can per ceive no reason for paying the players of their own ground 1/., and players not belonging to their ground 21., in addition to the sum paid for their services ; and having also considered the improved rapidity and cheapness of travelling, have unanimously resolved that the following be the scale of payment in future for all matches in London and the country : " If the player's journey to the ground shall exceed 100 miles. Si,. where it shall exceed 50, and be under 100, 4/. ; where it shall be under 50, 3/. _ _ " Players belonging to the ground to be paid as follows : —For a one day's match, U. ; for a match exceeding one day, 2/. " All players on the winning side to be paid IL in addi tion to the foregoing scale, except in a one dip's match at Lord's, in which the remuneration to the players of the ground shall nevor exceed 1/. " Umpires and scorers at Lord's shall he pail as ; the former 21. each, and the latter 1/. each. But in the event of a match at Lord's lasting but one day, the umpires and scores to be paid only half those sums. In all country matches, except those in the immediate vicinity of London, such as Eton, Harrow, &c., when the terms must be matter of special agreement, the umpires and scorers shall be paid a medium price between winners and losers on the foregoing specified scale for professional players.' " The Committee afterwards proceeded to the selection of two elevens ; the first to play in the match at Oxford, to morrow and Friday, " The Marylebone Cricket Club, with Hillyer and Lillywhite, v. The Undergraduates of Oxford," which was as follows : L. Ilayley, Esq. L. F. Currie, Esq. W. Franks, Esq. A. K. George, Esq. R. W. Keate, Esq. R. K) - naston, Esq. And then the second to play in the match of " Nine Gen tlemen of the Marylebone Club, with Hillyer and Lillywhitr, v. Nine Gentlem, , n of the Surrey Club, with Martingell and Brockwell." The eleven of the ➢larylebone Cricket Club for this matter are : S. Low odes, Esq. Pother, EF,q. A. Trevelyan, Esq. Hillyer. Lillywhite. The Hon. R. Grimston. A. Banbury, Esq. L. H. Bayley, Esq. A. Haygarth, Esq. R. W. Keate, Esq. R. Kynaston, Esq. S. Lowndes, Esq. W. Nicholson, Esq. A. Trevelyan, Esq. Hillyer. Lilly white. TRAGICAL DEATH. On Saturday evening an inquest was held at the Town of Ramsgate public-house, Wapping, before Mr. Baker on the body of a fine young woman, named Emmeline Fullilove, aged twenty years, who was found in the river Thames, having committed suicide on Sunday. It appeared that the unfortunate deceased had been married only three months to a man named Jonathan Fullilove, a compositor at the Queen's printing-office, who bad treated her with great inhumanity. He had sold a room full of furniture which his wife brought him on his marriage, had pawned her clothes, and deprived her of the common necessaries of life. He had re peatedly beaten her in a most savage manner, and her face and eyes were often discoloured and swollen from the effects of his brutality. The bonnet, cloak, and shawl of the deceased were found on London-bridge, to gether with a letter addressed to her mother, in which she used these expressions : " My dear Mother,—lt is with sorrow I write to you in this strain, but my troubles are greater than I can bear. My heart is broken ; I cannot survive it. I would have borne with poverty, where it misfortune that caused it ; but to know that my hard earnings are torn from me to keep a prostitute, is more than I can bear ; but let him know that my last dying curse was, that he may rot and die a despised wretch as he is, and his jade —she that persuades, and has succeeded in their vile schemes, and made me their victim. They may now revel in their unholiness, and I shall be no barrier be tween them. Judgment will some day overtake them. They have played their cards well, and schemed to be rid of me successfully." The jury expressed the greatest horror and disgust at the conduct of the husband, Fullilove, and said he was a perfect monster. They regretted that they could not send him to prison, and were most anxious to return a severe verdict, expressive of their strong opinion of his conduct. After a long discussion, how(nvor, they agreed to a verdict suggested by the coroner " Toat Emmeline Fullilove was found dead, with a w,i rid three inches in length on her right temple, which wa, cans' d after death; and that her death was apparently caused by drowning; but the jurors, however, cannot separate without expres sidg their opinion and b( lief that the deceased has com mitted suicide from the brutal and inhuman conduct of her husband." At the request of the jury, Fullilove received a long and severe lecture from the Coroner, who told him he ought to reflect, as long as he lived, on his base and heartless conduct to his late wife. MRS. GORE'S NEW NOVEL, " THE DEBUTANTE."— We are requested to state that Mr. Bentley, of New Burlington-street, will publish this new work on Tuesday next, the 26th instant, when it may be obtained at all the libraries, in three volumes. Mr. Bentley has just published Lady Blessington's new novel, " ,lemoirs of a Femme de Chambre." and " Forest Hill ; a Tale of Social Life in 1830- 31," which may now be had at all the libraries. LEoNTINE.—The new novel, entitled " Leontine," from the pen of Mrs. Moberly, the accomplished authoress of " Emily," is to appear immediately. Conjecture has been Itu , y as to its subject and heroine, but it would hardly be fair prematurely to divulge a secret, which would put an end to so many amusirg and piquant surmises as prevail in fashionable circles in relation to the work. Thus much, how ever, we may state, that in " Leontine" Mrs. Maberly has ventured on a theme entirely differing from that which gained for her so much popularity in her former production. MILITARY OUTRAGE.—On Wednesday morning, about two o'clock, several privates of the 69th Regiment of Foot, stationed at Bradford barracks, being under the influence of liquor, went to a house ie Wapping, and demanded admit tance, and on being refused, broke open the door, under the idea that it was a brothel. The occupier of the house re sisted their outrage 'us entrance with a poker, upon which he was assailed and well beaten with sticks. The police were sent for, when the offenders, with the exception of two, made their escape. These were brought before the mag:strates on Weduslay. Their names are Joseph Rule and William Close. They were fined 51. each for the outrage, and sen tenced to the tread -mill for two months each in default of payment.—Leeds Mercury. CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCRIPTURE READERS' ASSOCIA TION.—On Friday the annual general meeting of the members and friends of this institution, established two years since under the auspices of the Bishop of London and the Bishop of Winchester, was held at Willis's Rooms. The Bishop of Winchester presided, and was supported by the Marquis of Choimondeley, Lord Wharncliffe, Lord Sandon, M.P. ; Lord Robert Grosvenor, M.P. ; the Hon. W. Cowper, M.P. • the Rev. Sir H. R. Dukinfleld, Bart. ; Sir Thomas Dyk e Acland, Sir R. H. Inglis, &c. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.—We are informed that the gentleman who happily prevented a serious accident happening to the Duke of Wellington, when crossing the western entrance into Hide Park on Wednesday, was Lieutenant Robert Thomas of the Royal Navy, an officer of long standing, on half-pay, and who, we are as.ured, felt a peculiar pride and satisfaction, as an old sailor, Is having averted a calamity befalling so distinguished a character of the sister service.

What we particularly admire in this work is the object with which it has been undertaken, and the singular suc cess with which that object has been dereloped. An accurate knowledge of the book of books has hitherto been precluded from childhood, both by the fragmentary manner in which its records have been inculcated, and by the diffuse style so peculiarly the characteristic of the inspired writings. To obviate this, our authoress has compiled an inductive narrative founded upon the great records of scripture ; and he r compilation is so remark able for its simplicity both of diction and arrangement as entirely to dispel those ob Af.cles. Besides adhering to the original purity of the text, wherever it did not interfere with her purpose, she has elaborated the volume with geographical explanations, such as must tend very materially to facilitate the acquisition of the History in childhood. Availing herself of the labours of Josephus, and Culinet, and the Abbe Fleury, the writer has so judiciously interpolated their elucidations upon many obscure points of the narration as not to interfere with the integrity of the original, while they render the details more vivid and appreciable. The lady who has at tempted thus much for the advantage of the young generation, has in an elegantly written preface dilated uponl com pl t e h t i e on e(n) of fits fi a t t s s s s y k li over estimated its importance. Whether we regard an t p accrue t ; f r n o m o r t h h a e s s s u h c e c ess ftt c il i c l e m t h u e s accurate knowledge of Scripture as likely to elevated the more spiritual attributes of the human intellect, or to mellow and strengthen its tone by imbuing it with an account of the occur rences which transpired in the earliest ages of the globe whereon we are eojourners for a time, that knowledge is necessarily most requisite ; and as far as the embryo powers of a child will permit information of such vastness to be instilled, the attempt is both the human and the divine duty of the parent. Many ob structions have hitherto rendered the fulfilment of this duty mast difficult, if not generally impossible ; but the present volume promises to smooth the pathway, and to strew it with flowers ---to make these great truths of re vealed religion easy of attainment an doubly attractive in form, as far as the immature and plastic capacities of infancy are concerned. No parents proud of numbering themselves under the insignia of Christianity should dis regard the publicati on o f the b ook under not i ce. We say t',its in all hone by and earnestness of feeling, as we conceive the " Scripture History by Catherine Irene Finch" as a boon to all classes. From the clear and perspicuous arrangeme nt of the facts, they will be readily understood, and lastingly stamped upon the memory. We hope before long to see the continuation of the un dertaking, until it has reached what the authoress pro poses in a postscript, namely, the commencement of the Christian era. It must in time become an elementary book to the Scriptures. IMAGINATIONS AND IMITATIONS. By Hupe. The " Hyperion," printed on tea-paper and stitched up in pasteboard, is, in our estimation, a more costly work, than the choicest piece of rhythmical insipidity ever published in erriblaz ,ned silk, with leaves of vellum and letters of gold. Nevertheless we must not bring a very fistidious taste to the perusal of th ose annua l out scourings of rhyme with which the minds o f our poetas ters are relieved every successive year, or they become annihilated. Let them fl , at off with their pretty butter fly decorations upon the waters of Lethe, un til t h ey be come happily lost in perspective. Some books are of such a dull and ponderous nature in th e i r stup idi ty that they drop down plomb! into oblivion; not ail the sys tem of good Martinus Scriblerus could teach them the "art oft inking" more inimitably than they do themselves. Others are of such an exceeding flimsiness as scarcely to wrinkle the surface of Lathe while they are being swept off into its abyss—like the —little wanton boys that swim on bladders." But to be serious, if possible, to be honest, to be good natured—let us turn to the volume upon our table and receive it as it is offered, namely in all simplicity. Among the eastern people, during remote ages, when, according to the old legal phrase, " the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, it was (and we believe is) a fine custom among the orientals to tender each other pre sents, habitually. With the wealthy trinkets are usually given, but whenever a man's poverty precludes any gift of a more solid character, a mere handful of barley ears or of fruit are presented, and there are received with a like good grace. The intentions of the donor are looked to—not the emolument of the donee. We reverence this system much. For ono thing, it breeds good blood, good fellowship, and good encourage. ment. And revering it, we will endeavour to follow it as a pattern, wherever injury can be inflicted upon no body by the imitation. Looking at the effusions of Hope then in this pleasant spirit, we can cordially admire the binding, the satin paper, and the symetrical manner iu which " the rivulet of rhyme " runs through its "meadow of margin," to quote the famo u s s arcasm an d alliteration of Sheridan not for the first time within this half century. Of the compositions contained in the volume we cannot, however, bring ourselves to speak in a similar strain of panegyric. If all the albums of our fair countrywomen had been filtered down into a book, leaving out everything of vigour, of nerve, or of novelty, and if the residue had been diluted very care fully afterwards, the result would, undoubtedly, have been some such a work as these " Imaginations and Imi tations." What shall we say, for instance, of a poem, ostentatiously commencing and terminating thus— " Bright genius hover round me, Association How oft thy spell hath bound me, Association !" We cannot, however, induce ourselves to imagine that this collection of metrical effusions is seriously issued from the press with any ambitious views : we are inclined, on the contrary, to regard it as a rich joke level led at Parnassus. And if such really be the case, though we cannot precisely discover the point of the thing, we are impressed with a conviction that the joke is emi nently successful. One little syllable of advice we wou?d, however, whisper to the writer, if the compositions are dictated in all earnestness; and our advice is, to abstain henceforth from committing to public criticism verses only fit to be crow-quilled upon gilt-edged note paper, delicately tinged with pink, and delicately perfumed with flour d'orange. PICTURES FROM ITALY. By Charles Dickens. Ever welcome, no matter under what appearance, whether as transatlantic notes, or goblin stories, or serial novels, or even casual letters upon jurisprudence, are the writings of Mr. Dickens to us ! He has cast such gleams of sunlight upon our pathway, he has so glad dened our heart with his wit, and moved it with his pathos, he has spoken out with so much eloquence and daring in the cause of those who most required an ad vocate, and has done all this with such unaffected kindli ness and power that the mere superscription of his name upon a titlepage becomes a guarantee that there is excellence of some sort in the after pages. We must aeknowlege ourselves as not numbering amongst those captious individuals who expressed their disappointment at the character of his "American Notes." We anti cipated none of that impertinent gossip in which travel ling authors too frequently indulge ; nor were our ex pectations aroused in favour of philosophical commenta ries or political disquisitions upon the government, or the scientific progression of the United States. The book was precisely the description of book one might rationally have looked for from " Boz." It was a trans parent medium through which we might gaze across the intervening ocean upon scents, and characters, and land scapes, such as are actually visible in that quarter of the New World ; there was a healthiness, moreover, in the tone, a simplicity in the diction, a truth fulness about the descriptions, and an alterna tion of facetious details and solemn supplications for the greater diffusion of liberality and brotherly-love among mankind, which accorded well with the peculiar kind of celebrity which Dickens had already acquired. In speaking thus, however, it must not be supposed that we are ready to regard anything and everything which this author may issue from the press as faultless, or as deserving of unconditional com mendation. Not so. We could enumerate a diversity of blemishes in the fictions of Charles Dickens, faults of composition, faults of grouping, and especially the mast glaring and intolerable faults of punctuation. But, perceiving the infinite preponderance of his excellencies, recognising his extraordinary originality, and loving from our heart the noble spirit by which his works are ac tuated, we should deem such an enumeration as ungrateful, and invidious, and hypercritical to the very last degree. Just, to a proportionate extent, as we should consider any indiscriminating censure of the " Winter's Tale," for its anachronisms, or Shelley for the occasional halt ing of his metre, or Byron, for plagiarism, or the " Seasons" for grandiloquence. Looking in each iy these instances at the immeasurable predominance of the beauty over the flaw, we confess our selves ready to lose all recollection of those subor dinate failings, and to accord praise and honour, in - their different ways, to Shakspere, Shelly, Byron, Thomson, and Dickens. Any carping at the eccentri cities (for such in reality the major portion of these blemishes may ba termed), for which those who adorn our literature are remarkable, we conceive to be a petty and contemptible dis la of fastidiousness: it is quarrelling with the nightinpgale whenever of genius in a writer, our literary taste is cosmopolite. We admire the amber none the less because of f the fly itnbedded iu it. And that our author has, vfoorieei.ts In n s t s h e i t s m hu a e nsne a r n , d wh th en e his pen a certain genius, and that of a very unusual order, oa t has sufficiently demonstrated of itself for pen require any elaborate exposition. Of the fact to enough. Our attention must c on fi ne , however, sent to a consideration of the Piet itself for the pre -a blue book, somewhat less less monotonous, and somewhat dry, sonewhat than those produced by our u npa l atableParliamentary4, wisdom. The pictures contained in it are necessarily Cabinet pictures ;" nevertheless, they afford the reader a faith **ul though, miniature representation of Italianlife, H a n scenery, Italian cha racter, and Italian Ita customs. Faithful, however, a s th e portraiturei is, tis the faith fulness of exaggeration ;no one ' points a scene more vividly, more accurately, or more minutely than " Boz;" but it is always accompanied by some preposterously im possible distorti on — some witusica conceit--which con veys to the mind the most . • humourous, whil e , a t the same sense of, the time, it tends to imprint the description upon the memory . Take as an example of this th e account of the Colos seum at Rome, which, as viewed from re minded Dickens of a giganti c straw hat, the circular above, rows of benches being the plaits, andthe arena c rown. Or again, his mention o f the vinesth e thde. side during spring "so many walki ng stickb!' road side or the white houses of Naples, "dwindling, in e great extent of to dice;" or the progress, down scaffolding in St. Peter's, which, when all the tapestry was removed, and all the framework left, " looked like an exploded cracker ; " or - lastly, and especially, that deseriptiou Of the sailors in the little fishing town of Camoglia, "amphibious-looking fellows lying as'ecp on the parapet of the rude pier, with their legs dangling over the wall, as though earth and water were all one id them, and if they slipped in they would float away, dozing comfortably among the fishes 1' The account given us by lir. Dickens, of the ruined Colceseum is, to our thinking, about the finest passage in the volume, considered of itself, and irrespective of its relation to the general text. ‘ 4 It is no fiction," says Boz, "but plain, sober, honest truth, to say—se suggis tive and distinct is it at this hour—that, for a moment, actually in passing in, they who will, may have the whole great pile before them, as it used to be, with thousands of eager faces staring down into the arena, and such a athe its whirl of e t r if e, and dust, and blood, going on there, as dno lengu. ge can describe. Its solitude, its awful beauty, next t er strike me d ni es e o n lztion likea upon the stranger, nsoftened sorrow ; and never in hi s lif e, perhaps, will he be so moved and Overcome by any sight, not immediately connected with his own affections and afflictions. To see it crumbling there, an inch a year ; its walls and arches overgrown with green ; its cor ridors open to the day ; the long grass growing in its porches ; young trees of yesterday springi ng up on its ragged parapets, and b ear i ng fruit ; chancer uc p d eof the seeds dropp e d t h ere b y the brds who build their nests within its c hi n k s and crannies ; to see t t of fight filled up w i t h earth, and thepeacefulr i aross s t pie tired in the cent re ;to climb i n t o its upper halls, i look down on ruin, ruin, ruin, all a b out i t • the trium phal an( arches of Constantine, Septimus, geverus, and Titus ; the Roman Forum ; the palace of tin- Cr2sars ; the teznples of the old religion fallen down and gone ; is to see the ghost of old Rome, wicked wonderful old city, haunting the very ground on which its people trod. It is the most impressive, the most stately, the most solemn, grand, majestic, mournful sight conceivable. Never, in its bloodiest prime, can the sight of the gigantic Colos seum, full and running over with the lustiest lire, have moved one heart, as it must move all who look upon it now, a ruin. GOD be thanked : a ruin!—The ghostly pillars in the Forum ; the triumphal arches of Oki Emperors ; those enormous masses of ruin which were once their palaces ; the grass-grown mounds that marl; the graves of ruined temples ; the stones of the Via Sacra, smooth with the tread of feet in ancient Rome ; even hese were dimmed, in their transcendent melan choly, by the dark ghost of its bloody holidays, erect and grim, haunting the old scene ; despoiled by pillaging popes, end fighting princes, but not laid, wringing wild hands if weed, and grass, and bramble ; and lamenting to the night in every gap and broken arch—the shadow of its awful self, immovable 1" To follow our author through his peregrinations in classic land would be an useless impertinence, seeing that our readers will avail aernselves of the first oppor tunity to follow him themselves. Surely the truth, and arnestness, and poetry of thought contained in the above brief extract, will be an ample incitement to the perusal of the little volume from which it is transcribed. And of incitements to pursue the track of the narrative when once commenced, there will be enow in all conscience. Nor is this attractive characteristic of the " Pictures from Italy" so much attributable to the zestful mannerisms of "Boz," scarcely resistible, as these mannerisms are in alternate drollery, solemnity, and picturesque elegance—as in the unconscionable ad ventures and the grotesque characters with which it is enlivened throughout. As to the adventures, for in stance, we have Mr. Dickens at the theatre of puppets, or Marionetti, watching the comic puppet " with extra joints in his legs, and a practical eye, with which he winks at the pit, in . a manner that is absolutely insup portable to a stranger ;" then we have him (Mr. Dickens. not the puppet), in the travelling caravan, boxed up with an old priest " who was troubled with cramps in his legs, so that he had to give a terrible yell every ten minutes or so, and be hoisted out by the united efforts of the company ; the coach always stopping for him with great gravity." Then again we have "Boz" over taken on the frontiers of the Papal States by a hurricane "so terrific that they were obliged to take his other half out of the carriage, lest sho should be blown over, carriage and all, and to hang to it on the windy side (as well as they could for laughing), to prevent its going, Heaven knows where." At another time we find him outside the picture-gallery at Mantua. where he observes, " The moment the gate of this re treat was opened, some 500 geese came waddling round us, stretching out their necks, and clamouring in the most hideous manner, as if they were ejaculating. Ch! here's somebody come to see the pictures ! Don't go up! Don't go up! W hile we 'went up, they waited very quietly about the door, in a crowd, cackling to one another occasionally, in a subdued tone ; but the instant we appeared again, their necks came out like telescopes, and setting up a great noise, which meant, I have no doubt, What, you would go, would you ! What do you think of it ! How do you like it ! They attended us to the outer gate, and cast us forth, derisively, into Mantua." Foremost amongst the characters delineated by our author in his present volume is undoubtedly "The Brave Courier , " who figures more or less throughout it s p ages , an d who, be cause of the goodly appearance of his purse, "is doated upon to such an extent by the landlord that he can hardly wait fur his comin g down from the box, but em braces his very legs and boot-heels as he descands." There is a very jewel of a French Postilion also, who is sure to have a contest with his horses before they have gone very far ; and then he calls him a thief, and a brigand, and a pig, and what not ; and beats him about the head as if he were made of wood." A mob oi minor personages, all capital in their way, is scattered over the chapters, such as " a yellow dwarf of a woman (at. Valmontone) who stands on tiptoe to arrange the hatchet knives, and takes a flying leap to look into the water-jug ;" or the " heavy gentleman from Naples," who insists upon going up the steepest part of Mount Vesuvius, borne upon a litter, and who in consequence is incessantly horrifying the rest of his companions by presenting to them "a whole length of himself alarm ingl) foreshortened with his head downwards. The candour and boldness of Mr. Dickens's criticisms, upon many of the most vaunted paintings of the great masters, are agreeable enough for those very qualities, even though they scared away some of our most cherished visions o: pictorial beauty. Of the caricatures of religious cere monies with which the volume is replete, we shall only say they possess to us a most painful discordance. We would, however, ask Mr. Dickens if the grotesqueness of those ceremonies consists in their own inherent absur. dity, or in his misapprehension of their meaning ? Alto gether as a melange of Italian sketches, pencilled with that keen and humourous familiarity of manner so pe• culiar to Boz. these "Pictures from Italy" will amuse hundreds of his countrymen, without militating against his reputation. We wish him a blithesome Godspeed on his visit to Switzerland (which he announces in the pre face), and look forward gladly fur a renewal of our literary communion on the first of next October. THE ARISTOCRACY OF ENGLAND. By John Hampden, jun. William Cobbett we would wager a very considerable amount is a name fraught with enthusiasm in the recol lections of the writer of this remarkable volume. So ne of the pages are luminous with the reflex of that leveller's spirit; the thoughts are not unfrequently . akin to those which marked his idiosyncracy ; there is a caustic rashness, we might almost term it an audacity of sarcasm in its tone, which cannot fail to remind the reader of the register and of the " Legacy to Parsons." To some this comparison will seem of a laudatory character ; to others a most unenviable resemblance; the late Member of Parliament for Oldham having left at his demise a memory of " very bad odour," according to his antagonists, while, if we may credit his worshippers, he departed life in "the odour of (political) sanctity." W hatever may be the estimate formed of Cobbett as a legislator, everyone must, however, concede that as a satirist upon the abuses of his contemporaries, as a hater of bigotry whether in Church or State, as a divulger of impositions which had been sanctified by the accordance of our very credulous ancestry, he was a man of infinite daring, consistency, and talent. He wrote upon marble with an iron pen ; his words found a ready access to, and a staunch abiding place in, the hearts of the people. Even when he appeared the most to evade a dangerous topic his scorn was hurled at it with the most crushing impetuosity, like the Parthian soldiers of antiquity flying before the enemy, but levelling them in the dust with random arrows. As. partaking somewhat of the earnestness of his renowned master, John Hamden, junior (a noble pseudonyms by the way!) excites our interest by his very mannerisms, arouses our kindliness by the extreme bitter with which his lucubrations are tinctured, and stirs up a strange sympathy within us by the astonishing boldness which characterises his present undertaking. "Kingcraft" has long been the pet rallying word of revolutionary repub licans. " Priestcraft" again has, time out of mind, formed the favourite text of the free-thinker, and is about the most showy and trumpery decoy that can well be imagined to lead Ignorance into the bogs and quagmires of Infidelity. "Aristoeraft," however, has hitherto remained unnoticed, or 1 - ut very indifferently hinted at, in these fierce bandyings about of vitupe ration—and what opportunities would it not afford for the utterance of rhetorical indignation ! Our author has availed himself of the oversi g h t o f hi s predecessors. He has flung his gauntlet down amidst the dust and cobwebs of the herald office, any snapped his fingers de risively at all the strawberry leaves ever modelled in gold. The oldest family t ree i n t h e peerage i s regar d e d by him as nothing more than an upas grafted upon the national stock, and one whose fruits are extortion, vice, and unnatural sloth. Every attribute attached to the Right Honourables in the land is to him a most uncon scionable deceit ; all the ribands, and titles, and ermines, and coronets, and trains, and stars, and precious stones with which their Lordships are bedizened are to bim merely as flowers upon dunghills. The Moloch, before whom thousands from time immemorial have prostrated themselves in the enthusiasm of their reverence, he is ready to tweak by the nose and roll from its pedestal. Now, in this ende avour, v i ewed of itself there are considerable courage, cons id era bl e imperti nence, no little justice, and an extraordinary number of fallacies. Upon one inference we jt,in issue with Hamp den, junior, cordially ; up on anot h er we must acknow ledge the decided divergence of our opinions from each other : here, we assen t t o hi s prem i ses ; there we dissent from his deductions. A book has yet to be written upon the Aristocracy, tracing their history dispassionately, with no view to the aggrandize ment or advantage of any class whatsoever, even if that class be the people. Deal justly with the many, but in God's name ! deal justly with the few likewise, no matter what may have been their pecadillocs or their giant offences. Diffuse happiness over the many, but, again, in God's name I do not shower misery upon the few ; no matter how great may be the alloy of their villainies, they are made, as well as ourselves, of human stuff, and consequently have some grain or so of good at the bottom. For those scanty gra as, allay , your indignation, modulate . your wrath ; (19 Notice, and diffuse happiness, If possible, to every one alike ! Thqt, we take it, is the only righte ous principle upon which a political writer can act, and that principle we conceive to have been entirely beyond the calculations of John Hampden, junior. His disser tation% are one-sided to a most glaring extent ; the whole history of aristocracy, according to him, is com posed of the grossest deceit, the most usurious avarice, and the most nefarious machinations, without a single redeeming feature ; no solitary ray glimmers over the bleak and gloomy expanse of its career, from the mo ment the Conqueror planted his foot upon the shingles of Albion to the present generation and the present hour. Individual merit is swallowed up in the rotten ness of the system. The aristocracy are shown to have teen invariably the aggressors, the people as invariably t h e aggressed ; the aristocracy have always been the evil-doers, the people the innocent victims of their cruelty and perfidy. One side is immaculate, the other diabolical—like the stout gentleman, seen by Dickens in the carnival at Rome, " one half black and one half white; as if he had been peeled up the middle r It is un necessary for us to observe that this mode of viewing historical facts is unfair, ungenerous, and nnphilosophi cal. Besides which, the picture is so clearly impossible from its monstrous exaggeration, that none but the very superficial will accord it one iota of credence. We must confess we opened this volume with a predisposition to be pleased ' • the very name propitiat e d our good humour ; we yearned for an honest English exposure of those many abases, of that overweening vanity, of that unna tural accomul4tion of power and wealth which had been acquired by the aristocracy during various periods of our history. We longed for that exposure in its Durest, boldest, honesteq style : we close the book, however, with chagrin —we acknowledge ourselves disappointed. Not but what a prodigious fund of tiuth is accumulated n its pages; on the contrary, its substratum is sound, sterling reality, but its superficies, its froth, its scum is nere petulance, mere balderdash. For instance, the author mentions Henry VIIT.'s "bloated hands"—now what on earth has the condition of those bands to do with the evil genius of aristocracy ? Again, " bloody Mary" is pushed aside as unworthy of more lengthy notice from her " burnings and bigot-3,,,_ whet have her old hacknied " burnings and bigotry' to do with aristo cracy ?—and so on, incessantly. A much better preli minary would have been the celebration of all the glorious deeds, and all the truly great names connected with the Peerage. The condemnation would have fol lowed this with double energy, and justice would, more over, hare been satisfied. We speak thus strongly be cause we go heart and soul with Pope, and his mis-quoter John Hampden, junior, in thinking— g, What can ennoble sots, or knaves, or cowards? Alas! not all the blood of all the Howards." And becsuse, believing and feeling this truth, we are desirous of seeing the true history of the aristocracy penned; a history in which their virtues and vices will be alike recorded, a history in which will be seen how many benefits they have conferred upon the nation, and how many and how grievous are the injuries they have entailed upon the people. The author's heart has alone guided his pen, let his judgment assist henceforth in that €uidance, and he will prove not altogether unworthy of the mask of Hampden. STEAM NAVIGATION OF THE BLACK SEA. Steam navigation of the Black Sea has within the last few years materially increased. Scarcely eight years have elapsed since the inhabitants of Trebisond were seized with astonishment at the first sight of a steam-boat belonging to the Austrian Company of the Danube, which made its appearance on the coasts of Anatolia for the purpose of establishing direct relations with the numerous inhabitants on the borders of the Black Sea and with the capital of the Ottoman empire. This first attempt of the Danubian Company did not meet with encouragement, and for a long time after the travellers and pilgrims who were proceeding from Persia and from the centre of Asia to Constantinople or to Mecca, preferred, to the easy and certain:mode of steam boats, the frail Turkish vessels which from time im memorial trafficked between Trebisond and the Turkish capital. Fortunately the Austrian Company persevered in its enterprise. Its vessels re-appeared, and the Greek and Armenian populations, as well as those of Anatolia, at length ventured to trust themselves and their property on board the " fire-ships," as they were then called, and shortly after the Mussalman population followed their example. At the present time there are three companies whose vessels ply on this line. Soon after the success of the Danubian Company be came established, an Armenian Company was formed at Constantinople. The principal Pachas of the empire took part in it, and it received the warm support of the Turkish Government. The second company was that of the Austrian Lloyd's, of Trieste, which now plies through the greater part of the Levant, and to whom the Danubian Society has this'year ceded all its steamers in the Black Sea. The third company is composed of English capitalists. This company is running in oppo sition to the Austrian and Armenian, and sends a fine steamer every week from Trebisond for Malta, touching at Constantinople, Smyrna, and Syra. The passage from Trebisond to Malta is made in fourteen days, and the number of passengers carried each voyage is seldom under four hundred. The Russians have now four steam-boats running be tween Odessa and Constantinople, commanded by English captains ; and three Russian boats regularly run between Odessa and Kertch. From lierteh, and even from Bedul Kertch, travellers arc taken gratuitously by the Russian steam-frigates, which make their voyage twice a month, touching at all the intermediate ports and at the fortified posts estab lished by the Russians on the coast of Circassia. The permission to embark on board these vessels is easily obtained ; the voyage is very interesting, and the views of the coast of Circassia most magnificent. It is, how ever, sometimes dangerous to approach too near the .oast, for shots are occasionally fired at the vessels by the Circassiane, from the almost inaccessible peaks which jut into the sea ; and only a short time since the commandant in chief of the army narrowly escaped a ball, which passed closed to his head as he was proceed ing by one of those vessels to the fortress of Ardier. There are at present seven Russian steam-frigates stationed in the Black Sea. Four of these remain at anchor in the port of Sebastopol, and the remainder at Kertch, where they are placed at the disposal of General Badberg, commander of the forts on the coast of eircassia. It is said that Prince Worcnzoff is now actively en gaged in organising a line of steamers between Kertch and Trebisond, which, if carried into effect, will be of immense advantage to the latter port, as the communi cation between it and Georgia is now attended with great danger from the frail character of the Turkish sailing-boats, which now form the only means of transit. The number of passengers between these two points is very considerable. The number of steamers which now regularly ply on the Black Sea is 24, exclusive of four which ruu be tween Kertch and Taganrog, on the Sea of Azof, and two between Bedul. Kertch, and Trebison, touching at Batum, Pats, and Riach—in all 30. When these steamers are all properly organised, the tour of the Black Sea may be made in six weeks, in cluding fifteen days passed in quarantine at Odessa. ~ SOME LIE FAR OFF BEYOND THE WAVE." A friend, in Paris, has kindly sent us (Nation) some notes of the life of a distinguished Irishman, lately deceased, from which we extract the following : "Died, on the 9th October, 1845, in Paris, where he had resided for the last thirty-eight years of liz life. David Bailie Warden, a native of Ballycastle, in the county Down, a citizen of America, and a corresponding member of the Institute of France.' "M. Warden was born in 1778. He entered the Univer sity of Glasgow at an early age, and attended the celebrated lectures of Dr. Millar. Having distinguished himself in natural philosophy and mathematical science, he graduated as Master of Arts, and returned to the Ireland of the United Irishmen. M. 'Warden was a Presbyterian, and intended for the Church. His friends, nis principles, his hopes, were involved in the Union.' lie loved his native land and her freedom, and became one of that glorious conspiracy. The military Committee in the North chose him for its confidential agent and gave him the commission of a Colonel. Through him the Committee transmitted its instructions to the general officer, under its orders. The Catholics in the South, after an heroical struggle of some months, had been compelled to yield, overpowered by num bers. The North was occupied by foreign troops, and armed bodies of Orangemen. The plans of the confederates, be. sides, had been disclosed to the Government, and the insur rection failed. " The part M. Warden had taken in those events, of course attracted the notice of the authorities, and a price w as set upon his head. But his personal qualities, his distinguished character, and his extreme youth, could not fail to excite interest in his favour. After remaining concealed during several days, he was received under the protection of a magistrate, who volunteered to becom e hi s seem i ty if he were allowed to con tinue at liberty. On the refusal of the Government, M. Wardell was compelled to surrender himself a prisoner. During his captivity, every means were used to induce him to divulge the names of the superior officers recently ap pointed by the insurrectionary Committee. Promises and menaces were in turn resorted to, but nothing could shake the inflexibility of his principles. In those times, to appear before a tribunal was to receive sentence of death.— Thanks to the influence of some powerful friends attached to the English party, Mr. Warden was not tried by Court Mar tial. After a detention of several months in the Provost's prison of Belfast, and on board a ship of war off that har bour, he entered into a compromise, and bound himself, in writing, to emigrate to th e United States of America, never again to set foot on the dominions of England. The pri soners who refused to subscribe to these conditions were transported to Fort George, in Scotland. " M. Warden sailed shortly afterwards for New York, where, he met with a most cordial reception, particularly from the Professors of Columbia College. On his landing, he was offered the chair of Natural Philosophy in the Col lege of the Union; but an engagement which he had pre viously contracted, prevented him from accepting that offer. In 18013, he was Rector of Kingston Academy, when Gen. Armstrong, who had been appointed Minister Plenipoten tiary of the United States at Paris, chose him, with the assent of President Jefferson, for his Secretary of Legation. M. Warden, who had become an American citizen in 1804. was called to that office, as he was more lately, to that of Consul-General of America, in Pa-is, without any a )lici taticn on his part. Nevertheless, when he found himself sacrificed, some years afterwards, to a political interest, he embarked in the sloop of war Hornet, and, on his arrival at Washington, was reinstated in his post by the unanimous vote of the senate. He then returned to France, in the Con stitution frigate, with the new Minister, M. Joel Barlow, and resumed his consular functions in the French capital. "In 1812, at the death of Mr. Barlow, the power of that Minister devolved on M. Warden, who, as the only agent accredited by the United States at Paris, exercised them, until Napoleon's return from Russia enabled M. Crawford to present his credentials. Being the sole representative of a neutral power then residing at Paris, his certificate was required to validate the acts of foreigners of all nations, detained or settled in France. It was in that capacity he received the depots of the archives of the Russian embassy, at the request of Prince Kourakin. M. Warden de dined any pecuniary remuneration for that service; but the Linperig dOr: not WifilliPg it to mania wuecitlitcd, rresented him with a diamond ring. 111.4 M..Crawtord superseded him in the Consulate, irrvirthe of a•seciA9rdEr from President Monroe, and bestovhdit'on nne of his'frieds. M. Warden remonstrated, and represented to flan Presidea his long and useful services. Bat rain vain. The en'nduct ofths; supreme chief of the republic was; the more extriordinarren that occasion, as it was M. Warden whO, wring a visit to 3loncelo, the country seat. of Jefferson, *as instrumental in effecting a reconciliation between hirn and Monroe, and thus opened to the latter the road to the I'sresideney:ll. Warden nught have repaired to Washington, -4 aCeeiding to M. Galli tin's rdvice, and obtained his reinstatement through the in fluence of his numerous friends in the Government and Con gress; but he had too much confidence in the justice of his case not to expect that the President would seize the ear liest opportunity of making good the wrong he had done him. He was, however, deceived in his expectation. though deprived of his official character, Mr. Warden still continued the real representative of the United States in Paris. "After his retirement from public life, he gratuitously devoted one-half of his time to his countrymen, and b 7 his acquaintance with many of the most distinguished political and scientific m en in France and Europe, he was able to render them' important services. The American citizens, residing in Paris, conscious of the great advantage which a man so conversant with the languages, literature, sciences, arts, manners, and policy of European nations, would prove to their country, repeatedly called the attention of the government to him, and the illustrious Jefferson, who ap preciated his capacity as a public functionary, and his private qualities, never ceased, until the hour ot his death, to recommend him to the favour of the Administration. 4 ‘ In hit retreat, M. Warden, ever animated with the desire of being useful to his countrymen, published several works on America, which had considerable success. His work on the Origin, Nature, and Influence of Consular Establish ments' (1 vol., Bvo., Paris, 1313) was translated into different languages, and a celebrated English jurist, Mr. John Chittie, embodied it almost entirely in his ' Treatise on the Laws of Commerce and Manufactures' (4 vols., Bvo., London. 1824). M. Warden's Statistical, Historical; and Political Descrip tion of the United States of America' (the English edition, 3 vols., Bvo., Edinburgh, 1819—the French edition, 5 vols., B f vo., Pa:is, 1820), afl'oided Europe a more perfect idea of the American States, than all the preceding and subsequent pub lications. qu'a'llitfeyfohriemesneglfaernsog i a n rd th u a ou t s wo a rk,e re underto M.

All these parts are in the wo r k w i th equal care and talent, and the general plan was co w e ll conceived that the celebrated Laplace recom mended it as a model for a similar statistical d escr iption of France. That publication opened to M. Warden the gates of the Institute of France, in 1825. The Royal Academy of Science elect e d him corresponding member, by a majority of 35 to 15, in the room of Captain Freycinet, who had become a titular member. "Mr. Warden next undertook to write the Chronological History of the two Americas, from the earliest period down to the present time, for the completion of the celebrated work of the Benedictines (L'Art de ve , ffier les dates), who had alto gether Omitted the history of the new world. The publica tion of that work, of which ten volumes have appeared, was interrupted last year by the demise of the Marquis de Fortis, its editor. "M. Warden translated into English a number of lite rary and scientific memoirs, and the introduction to the Tables of Logarithms of Callett (Paris, 1809). He like wise furnished many articles for dictionaries and reviews, and completed a highly interesting memoir on " The An tiquities of America," which was inserted in the great work on the Ruins of Palenque. He was a member of the Society for the Encouragement of National In dustry; of the Philomathic, Philotechnic, Annatic, Geo graphical, Agricultural, and Antiquarian Societies of Paris; of the Societies of Natural History and Antiquities of Caen; of the Royal Academy of Nancy; of the Society of Agri culture and Sciences of the Eure ; of the Philosophical Societies of New York and Philadelphia; of the Historical Society of Belfast, in Ireland; of the Royal Antiquarian Society of Copenhagen ; Doctor of the Medical Faculty of New York, &c., &c. The Corporation of New York pre sented him some years ago, as a testimony of its considera tion, with a copy of the splendid work on the canals of the State, executed at the expense of the city—an honour which he shared with J. Adams, Jefferson, C. Carroll, Madi son, Monroe, J. Q. Adams, and General Lafayette." -- - FRIDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. DIVIDENDS DECLARED. D. Fraeschlen and S.

On Fri lay afterno-n the 2d Life Guards, stationed at the cavalry barracks at Spite, near Windsor, were inspected by the Marquis of Londonderry, the Colonel of the regiment, In Windsor Grist Park, . _ FEATHERED QUADRUPED.—An egg was hatched last Saturday, and r a hen, the property of Mr. William Barsby, Bunker's-hill, the produce of which was a chicken with four legs, two of which are in the usual place, while the supernumeraries, as if ashamed of their own ridiculous selves, endeavour to conceal themselves under the tail—we are forced to add with very indifferent success. And yet they are not a bad pair of legs, complete in every particular— claws, legs, and thighs to match ; and certainly, if it had only these, no chicken need be as t iarned of its locomotive en dowment. Nor do these const t e the only singularity at tached to this winged quadruped ; we are arvred by its owner that it has actually managed to return from " that bourne" wherefrom, according to Will Shakspere, "no tra veller returns." But then the poet never calculated on such extraordinary pedestrian facilities; with four legs it would be a pity if a chicken could not accomplish a little more than its relations can, who are compelled to put up with two. The fact is, that on Sunday last, Mr. Barsby locked up the pro digy with its mother, in an upper room, during his temporary absence from home; but on his return, found it, to his great concern and disappointment,lyingepartfrom its maternal pa rent and the rest of the feathered family on the cold plaster floor. If ever a chicken appeared dead, that did ; it was handled by numerous visitants, whom curiosity impelled to the place, and their unanimous verdict was, that it was as dead as a door sail. Its owner, deeply lamenting its untimely end, threw it upon a shelf, where it lay for some time, until fetched down again by female curiosity. Mrs. Barsby. not having previously inspected the phenomenon to her entire satisfac tion, repaired to the chamber of death, and proceeded to com pletethe examination ; but had not held the deceased in her womanof Ihelt hand long, before :it all at once exhibited undoubted the symptoms good suj a pr s is i i f ng she ei s r i e , n ou m u sta si n nA ce through the floor." This latter event, however, did not ensue, as it happened ; the chicken progressed rapidly in its course to full animation, and was so far advanced towards perfect convalescence by Sunday night, as to feel itself quite ade quate :to the performance of numerous small chirps. We can assure our readers the illustrious bird is now in very likely circumstances; we have been favour,d with a per sonal inspection of it, and can cheerfully bear witness in a court of justice, if required, to the fact that the surprisi ng creature, legs and a l 4 is alive, and kicking.—Nottingham
