ON approach of the COMMENCEMENT of JANUARY, all those who may have to write to us before that time, are requested to do so without delay, and to be particular in directing, HEINE BROTHERS, in HAMBURGH, and to observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage only, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus 10/. ' W/., or 301., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng land Note would only cause double Postage, but 101. remitted in two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham burgh, to forwarl the amount in One Note; or having to receive Money from Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when ever poalible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England, surpassing the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may rather be made in Bills of Exchange, on London. We request not to overlook these particulars. HEINE BROTHERS in HAMBURGH. P. S. To persons having to remit Si., on receiving a Ten Pound Note. we return Two Pound in the cheapest way possible. The publication of Tux SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock. f l f•F ( *. * 46 , 11 _4 • , „ NI, „ LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 11, 1937. At the Northampton Reform Dinner Earl FITZ WILLIAM, in concluding a speech full of sound sense and deep feeling, made a powerful appeal to Re formers in favour of Ireland. " I call upon a large class of my countrymen," said the Noble Earl, " for their co-operation in obtaining Corporation Reform for the Sister kingdom of Ireland.—(Tremendous cheer ing-) I claim their sympathy, and more, I claim their assistance, in obtaining for Ireland those measures of Corporation Reform, from which this country has de rived so palpable and so great an advantage."--(Con tinned cheering.) The enthusiasm with which this appeal was received by the Reformers of Northampton sufficiently showed that they are resolved to do more than sympathise with the people of Ireland ; and we trust that a similar resolution will be manifested with out delay by Reformers in general. Earl FIT7wILLIAM has put the matter on its proper footing. It is not sympathy that Ireland wants, but assistance—prompt, hearty, energetic assistance. Sym pathy is an excellent thing, but its excellence consists in its motive power. Unless it develope itself in active results, it is of no value. It was not implanted in the breast of man, merely that he might indulge an indo lent selfish sensibility; but that he might be stimulated to the performance of those practical duties which are essential to the existence of the social state. Works arc as much the evidence of sympathy as they are of faith—they are at once the test of its sincerity, and the measure of its intensity. The generous heart, it is true, must often lament that it cannot give this evi dence ; but no man has a right to say that he sympa thizes with another in his distress, if, having more in his power, he does not do more. We sympathize with the unfortunate Poles—it is all we can do ; they are beyond the reach of our exertions. But is that the case with respect to the people of Ireland ? They are our neighbours —our fellow-citizens—our brethren— part and parcel of ourselves. Did they, when they saw us struggling for our rights, stand aloof, and con tent themselves with wishing us a safe deliverance ? Or did they hang back until the bond of reciprocity was signed, sealed, and delivered ? No : they did to us as they would have wished us to do to them. They trusted us fairly, generously—made our cause their own—rushed with uncaleulating impetuosity into our ranks, and fought with us side by side —aye, fought unflinchingly in the very front of our battle, until vic tory. was secured. Are We not then bound, by every consideration that ought to influence honourable minds, to make strenuous efforts in behalf ofireland ? Is it not our sacred duty to aid the Irish people, by every means in our power, to obtain those rights and advantages which we ourselves prize so highly, and for the enjoy ment of which we are indebted in a great measure to their co-operation ? Assuredly it is, and unless we discharge this duty constientiouslv, we may talk as much as we please about sympathy, but the people of Ireland will not believe us sincere. They will say— " You are lukewarm, if not indiffetetit, towards us ; if you will not put your shoulders to the wheel, and help us out of our difficulties, mock us not with your sym pathy." But in truth, it is our interest, no less than our duty, to make common cause with Ireland. The vital interests of the two countries are bound up together inseparably, and it is of the last importance that this tnitb should be so rivetted in the convictions of the English Reformers, as not to be lost sight of for a single moment. Let us nct delude ourselves with the fallacy that we may safely leave the griev ances of Ireland to be redressed, until we have reformed all the abuses that exist in the other parts of the United Kingdom. This would be to invert the natural order of It would be playing We part of the fool who lay down on the bank of the riser waiting till the stream ran by. No, we :linst grapple with the difficulty when it occurs. We must remove the obstruction where it is thrown in our way before we can proceed. The obstmetion to Re form lies in Ireland. There the opponents of Reform have taken their stand, and they must be dislodged from their position before we can advance a step. It is the merest drivellinf; to talk of wrestinl, the Ballot, Triennial Parliament 7, and Peeta , ,e Helot m, from those who have power to maintain the notorious abuse and corruptions, which disgrace the Church and the Corporations of Ireland. We perceive, by an advertisement in our Paper of today, that the spirited Reformers of the county of Huntingdon intend giving a dinner to their old friend and leader, G. G. DAY, Esq. ; that he will have pre sented to bim a most splendid silver epergne, and a very clegant silver cup, with all the expellees of his late trial. And when we state that the benevolent and patriotic Earl FiTzwrwANl is to preside, and that the popular Member for the county, J. B. ROOPER, Esq., is to be Vice-President, surely we have stated enough to induce all the Reformers living near to attend the festival. The speech of Sir LIONEL SMITH, Governor- General of Jamaica, on opening the session of the House of Assembly at Kingston, on the Ist of Novem ber, inspires us with a hope that his Excellency is pre pared to leave no means untried to tranquillize the minds of the colonial population. By the adoption of a firm and consistent line of policy—by holding the balance even between the masters and the apprentices—by making proper allowance for exasperation arising out of the past unnatural state of the Colony—by carefully avoiding all identification of himself with the interests, feelings, prejudices, or sympathies of any party—by inculcat ing the principles of a parental guidance on the one side, and a filial docility on the other ; the new Go vernor-General may succeed in removing those evils which his Excellency's equally well intentioned pre decessor failed to ameliorate. We are confident that no man in his Britannic MAJESTY'S dominions en tertained a more sincere desire to govern the colonists of Jamaica, in a spirit consonant with the con solidation of their liberties, and the promotion of their social interests, than did the Marquis of SLIGO, on as suming the functions of Governor-General. Unfortu nately the minds of the planters were poisoned against him long before his appearance among them. The anti-emancipationists had represented his Lord ship as a fanatical enthusiast, prepared to sa crifice the welfare of the masters to the theo retical improvement of the manumitted apprentices. His Lordship found the removal of this unfavour able impression impossible ; for no means of re moving it existed, unless he were to treat the working population with an indifference tantamount to the re fusal of all justice to them. The consequence was, that the planters cast every impediment in his way ; and when they could do so with impunity, openly defied and ridiculed his authority. His best mea sures were rendered nugatory ; his best 'designs frustrated, by the absence of that confidence, with out which no Government can secure the happi ness of a people. The Noble Marquis was not slow in discovering, that owing to misconception on the part of the planters, his Lordship's retention of the office of Lieutenant-Governor would be productive of more evil than good. He saw that his presence but served to inflame those angry passions between masters and servants which he was most anxious to allay ; and be therefore prayed the Government to recall him, and ap point in his room a Governor in whom the colonists would repose confidence. Sir LIONEL SMITH has unquestionably a most difficult part to perform, and the British nation will not hesitate to mark its sense of his great services, should he succeed in performing it so as to restore har mony between the colonists and the Government. The commencement of his career has certainly been very auspicious; and we are happy to add, that his speech to the Assembly is calculated to inspire all parties with confidence in the justice •of his administration. We make no apology for quoting here the following passage respecting the moral and religious education of the negroes . - - - There is, indeed, one most important subject which I cannot resist submitting to your grave consideration—it is the religious and.moral condition of the negroes. No man has had such opportunity of enlarged observation amongst this class as I hate had, either in the immediate government of, or eventual controul over seven colonies, and I am sorry to proclaim that they arc in a more deplorably backward state than in any other. Yet, Gentlemen, they must be taught to fear God before they can be made to respect the laws. It is physically impossible for the Ministers of the Established Church, few in numbers, with an extended sur face of population, to do more than they have done. The first object is to instil the doctrines of Christianity, and not to insist upon any particular church discipline. I firmly believe the assistance of the missionaries is most necessary to this end. Gentlemen, we have hardly four years more to watch over the experiment of apprenticeship—give every facility you can to the missionaries' labours—banish from your minds the idea that they are all enemies. I will answer with my head for their loyalty and fidelity. Encou rage their peaceable settlement amongst your people—let every four or five contiguous estates combine for the erec tion of a chapel and schools, and, knowing as you well do, the attachment of the negro to the place of his birth, and the burial place of his parents, you may, I sincerely believe, by these means finally locate on your estates a contented peasantry." The House of Assembly, in its address in answer to the speech of, the GOVERNOR-GENERAL, heartily responded to these beautiful sentiments. In this res ponse we behold only the presage of our extended har mony of action. Some time must, of course, be expected to elapse before all symptoms of distrust pass away. In Spanish Town symptoms of dissatisfaction have been manifested against Sir LIONEL SMITH and his family, by the partizans of certain dismissed sti pendiary magistrates ; but similar occurrenczs arc not to be apprehended in any part of the island. • We direct particular attention to extracts from two Brussels' Journals, which will be found in another column under the head of " Stamp Duties. in Bel gium." King LEOPOLD, it appears, acting under instructions received from his Royal Father-in-law, the King of the FRENCH, has all but prohibited the circulation of French and English Journals throughout his dominions. This conduct on the part of LEOPOLD is, to say the least of it, unjust, ungenerous, and extremely impolitic. The Liberal Journals of England and France have uniformly treated his Go vernment with a degree of indulgence not accorded to more poweiful and better consolidated States ; and of their Majesties the King and Queen of the BELGIANS personally, they have ever spoken with that respect which they considered due to their many virtues. Are voluntary services so oppressive to Kings, that they cannot avoid requiting them with the visitations of their displeasure ? The Free Press of France conferred a Crown upon Louts PHILIPPE of Orleans, and one of the first acts of the new Sovereign was to deliver it over, gagged and bound, to the Minister of Public Justice. The Liberal Press of England and France consolidated the Throne of LEOPOLD, King of the BELGIANS ; and scarcely has the new Monarch time to mount it before his Minister of Finance is secretly instructed to interdict its circulation by the imposition of heavy taxes ! Sir Arthur Broeke, Bart., has ordered the spare wood on his estate to he cut down and given to the poor. Ulster Paper. EQUAL TEMPERA TURE.—Between 1? o'clock at noon and the same hour at night, on the 9th instant, the variation in the temperature did not amount to more than a single degree.

This being the first day of Hilary Term, the Judges and principal Members of the Bev, after breakfasting with the Lord Chancellor at his house in Bruton-street, came in procession to Westminster-hall. The Loan CHANCELLOR did not take his scat till near two o'clock. His Lordship proceeded to hearithe part heard case of Stevens v. Pratt. VICE-CHANCERY-(THIS DAY.) ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. SHORE. Mr. RomiLLY moved, on the part of the rueiver in this cause, for a reference to the Master, to ascertain whether any and what repairs and alterations were necessary of a certain farm (part of the Charity estates), situate at Westacre, in the West Riding of Yorkshire ; and that the Master might also certify the expense that would be necessary to be incurred.—Ordered. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) lIUGIIEb V. WYNNE. Mr. PENIEERTON moved in this case, pursuant to no. tice, that Mr. John Jones, a purchaser of part of the estates in question in this cause, should pay into Court the sum of 1,196/. 3s. 10d., the balance of the purchase-money with interest. It appeared from the affidavits that were read that Mr. Jones paid the sum in question on the 30th of April hut toll's solicitor in the country, who remitted it by post on the same day to Mr. Charles Robert Meyrick Clarke, his agent, then of Raymond's-buildings, but now of Lin coln's Inn-fields, for the purpose of having it paid into Court, but that Mr. Clarke had kept the money for his own use. Lord LANGDALE ordered Mr. Jones to pay the purchase money into Court within six weeks, and observed that he hoped some one would take the matter up ; because if a thing of this kind were to be looked over, parties would never be safe in entrusting monies into the hands of their agents or solicitors. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have received New Brunswick Papers to the 27th of November, from which we extract the following : THE WEATHER.—Fiue seasonable weather has prevailed in this quarter since the commencement of the present month ; the ground is at present uncovered with snow, but hard frozen. The steamer started for Fredericstown on Monday last, but was unable to proceed further up than the Oromorto, the main river for ten miles below Frede ricstown being coated with ice. The above papers are filled with European news. THE FUNDS. Consols, which closed yesterday at 90k for the Account, opened this morning at 901 ; for Money, 881 89 Ex dividend ; Exchequer Bills, 23 25 ; India Bonds, 12 14 ; Bank Stock, 210 211 ; India Stock, 2551; 2561. In the Foreign Market Spanish Active closed at 251 1, has receded to 214 25 ; Passive, 7 ; Deferred, 12} 4 ; Portuguese, 474 4 ; Three per Cents., 291 304 ; Colom bian, 271 28 ; Mexican, 261 27 ; Danish, 76 ; Dutch Five per Cents., 1024 ; Two-and-a-Half, 531 Owing to the non-arrival of the French mail we are this morning without any Continental information, which has damped the operations in the various foreign Funds. Spanish and Portuguese Stocks have receded, and appear heavy. Yesterday, the foreign Exchanges were rather lower. lIALF-PAST ONE. In the British Market the chief business doing is making up the accounts against next Friday. Consols may be quoted at present soi 1 for Account ; 88 89 for Money. Exchequer Bills 23 25 premium ; India Bonds 14 12 prem. ; Bank Stock 210 211 ; India Stock 2551 2561. In the Foreign Market Spanish Active is very heavy, and has receded about 1 per cent. in the course of the morning, owing to various reports—that General Evans is coming home ; also letters being received from Durat*o of the 29th ult., stating that the Carlists are going again to blockade Bilboa. We have no doubt that these reports are the invention of the Carlist party, and in a few days will entirely vanish, by the.Carlists being attacked the mo ment the weather permits. Spanish Active receded from 25 : 1t0 214- Passive, 7 11 ; Deferred, 12+ ; Portuguese also lower, from 47i to 47 ; Three per Cents. from 30i to 294 ; Colombian, 271 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., .53-1 ; Five per Cents., 102.

CURE FOR THE INFLUENZA.—Simultaneously with the breaking up of the late frost a severe influenza at tacked the inhabitants of the metropolis and its environs ; and although it is not so violent in its nature at present as the like epidemic of 1834 was, so general is it, that scarcely a house can be found without some of the inmates being affected ; and as there are many persons who are unable to procure medical assistance, we recommend, from good au thority (that of an eminent surgeon in extensive practice), the following as a safe and efficacious remedy for the cure of so distressing a malady :—One table-spoonful orsweet spirits of nitre, and two tea-spoonfuls of paregoric elixir, mixed to gether, and taken in a wine-glassful of hot sugar and water on going to bed for two or three successive nights ; also, a quarter of an ounce of Epsom salts dissolved in a cupful of warm water and taken on each following morning, the patient being at the same time particular in keeping the feet warm and dry, and living on a light diet. A proportionate dose of the same medicine is equally beneficial for children. A boy named Mattock, employed on Bottle-hill Mine, near Edgeway, was killed on Wednesday last, by falling into one of the shafts of the mine. He was literally dashed to pieces. —Devon Paper. DINNER OF THE GARRICK CLUB TO MR. C. ICEMBLE.—Yesterday the Garrick Club gave a dinner to Mr. C. Kemble, on his retirement from the stage. Hitherto celebrations of this kind have taken place at the Club-house, King-street, Covent-garden, but so many names were put down upon this occasion, that it was found im possible to accommodate the members as usual, and the dinner was therefore given at the Albion. About a hun dred sat down, under the presidency of Lord Francis Egerton, who conducted the entertainment with that easy grace and urbane dignity which distinguish him. Mr. C. Bumble was upon his Lordship's right, and Sir G. War r.mder (the Vice-President of the Club) upon his left ; and they were supported by the patrons and the distinguished ornaments of the drama, authors and actors. Upon the death of Jack, the ourang-outang of the Garden of Plants, several opinions were expressed upon the nature of the malady which terminated the existence of this much-lamented animal. The general impression sterns to be that individuals of this species caunot resist the climate of Europe. We, however, can cite an instance which proves the contrary. Prince Jerome Bonaparte, ex- King of Westphalia, brought from Martinique an ourang outang, which he had with him all the time lie remained in France, and which he subsequently took to Cassel. This animal was of considerable size, of i mmense strengt h, an d was never ill. in 1813 it became n ecessar y t o s h oot it i n conseq uence of its vicious propensities, namely, throwing stones from the roof of the house at persons in the street, .and insulting every female he met.—Frenek Paper. An unexampled number of wood pigeons have fre quented the Duke of Norfolk's beech woods near Arundel du:ing the late severe weather. , SIGHT-SEEING.—Dont you remember a report of eie plague being in the City, and every body went to the house where it was, to see it ? You see I laugh about it, for I would not for the world be so un-Englished as to do otherwise. I am persuaded that when Count Sax, with ten thousand men, is within a day's march of London, people will be hiring windows '"his Charing-cros s an d Cheap side, to see them pass by. our characteristi c t o t a k e dangers for sights, and evils for curiosities.—Wa/p o / e ' s Pri vate Correspondence. DOMESTIC SERVANTS.--I have often thought the general complaints of annoyance from the faults of domes tic servants scarcely reasonable, when we consider the class from which we receive them. With all the habits of dis orderliness, negligence, and insensibility to filth and foul air, in which they have in many cases been horn, nursed, and bred, they enter our houses, and most readily under take to keep them in proper order, to anticipate the num berless minutiae of our personal accommodation, and at once supply, by intuition or sympathy, our wants —nay, our whims. We soon find (though here, too, there are rare exceptions) that their notions and ours on all those points differ widely. Great disarray and want of cleanliness to us, is order, neatness, and sweetness to them ; ventilating of rooms and airing of beds, are to them mere troublesome fancies ; dusting is an unnecessary disturbance of wh a t, by nature, falls so noiselessly, a nd falls so impartially ; they re move, of course, only what is pointed out to them, and sit down contentedly in the midst of what remains. In no thing should we reap more every-day satisfaction from judi cious education, than in the improvement of our domestic servants.—Sinpson's Necessity of Popular Education. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) This being the first day of Term, the Courts were opened with the usual formalities. At a quarter to two o'clock, Lord Denman, Justices Littledale, Williams, and Coleridge, took their seats on the bench. LORD G. LENNOX V. DESEOROUGH AND OTHERS. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said in this case, which was tried at the sittings after the last Term, it was the - in tention to apply for a new trial. He understood that a summons had been taken out, and some proceedings had before the Chief Justice in Chamber. He should either now make his motion, or reserve it till to-morrow, as the Court might think fit. lhe CmEr JUSTlCE—Mr.Attorney-General, I will men tion to-morrow morning my opinion as to how the verdict should be entered. You can then make your motion. TREVOR V. THE CORPORATION OF BRIDGEWATER. Sir Wit. FOLLETT applied for a mandamus to the Mayor and Corporation of Bridgewater, command ing them to pay the plaintiff a sum of 101/. per annum, as compensation for the loss of his office as Clerk to the Borough Justices. It appeared that Mr. Trevor was Town Clerk to the old Corporation of Bridgewater, and a part of his duty as such was to attend the Borough Justices ; but at the election of the new Corporation he was removed from his office, but received no compensation for the fees to which he was entitled. By the 66th section of the Act, any Town Clerk or other officer removed from his situation was entitled to compensation, accord ing to the decision of the Council ; and if any party felt himself aggrieved by the decision, he might appeal to the Lords of the Treasury. The Town Council of Bridge water refused to make any compensation to Mr. Trevor for the loss of his office, and an appeal was made as the Act directed. Upon enquiry, and hearing both sides, the Lords of the Treasury decided that Mr. Trevor was entitled to 101/. per annum. Due notice:was given to the Council, and they were required to execute a bond, but they re fused to do so, and alleged that some: matters important to the issue had not come under the consideration of the Lords of the Treasury. The matter came a second time before their Lordships, and they again decided in Mr. Trevor's favour, notwithstanding which the Corporation have not complied with the terms of the order. He, there fore, had now to move that a mandamus should issue, compelling the Corporation of Bridgewater to pay the com pensation awarded to Mr. Trevor. The CHIEF JUSTICE—Take a Rule Nisi. The corning season, from various causes, promises to be of longer duration, as it relates to the fashionable world, than has occurred for several years. _ _ The important fact of the piescnce of lead in orange-flower water, described by Mr. Squire, we have had an opportunity of seeing demonstrated by himself. Upon mentioning the circumstance to another druggist in town, we find that he had observed a brown precipitate in orange-flower water as imported, which was ascertained by bins to be lead. The simple method of removing the lead in solution pointed out by Mr. Squire, should be noted by every dispensing establishment ; for, should accidents from the administration of this medicament be made public, it would be difficult, after this notice, to exculpate the dis penser from blame. We have no doubt that many other pharmaceutical preparations, as they occur in commerce, and as made by our own druggists, contain either the same, or equally deleterious ingredients.—Annals qf Medicine. A young girl of seventeen was arrested at the mo ment she was trying to enter the barracks on the quay d'Orsay, dressed up as a dragoon.

On 'Thursday morning last considerable sensation was occasioned at Sandbach, by the announcement that the Rev. Robert Batty, for many years curate of that town, had been discovered dead in his sitting-room. It was as certained that his servant, on going into the room early on that morning, to light the fire, found the lifeless body of the Reverend Gentleman upon the floor ; and from his chair being found by him, it is supposed that he had fallen from it, and died almost immediately. On the previous night he had partaken of a hearty supper, and was in his usual health. He has left an orphan son, to lament the loss of an indulgent parent.—Macclesfield Courier of Saturday. Mr. John Charles Ramsdell, the late member for Melton, had the affliction to lose several children in suc cession ; and he was at length attacked by the acutely painful yet lingering disease of cancer in the face, which has now proved fatal. DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT MURDER AND SUICIDE AT HENDON.—The little village of Heneon was thrown into a state of great alarm and excitement on Monday afternoon, in consequence of a desperate attempt made by a man named John Lincoln, in the service of a gentleman named Lawrence, to shoot one of his fellow servants, named Emma Haynes, and afterwards to blow out his own brains with a pistol. It appeared that these two persons were in charge of Mr. Lawrence's house at Hendon, and on Monday morning the man, Lincoln, went out to purchase some articles for the use of the house, and returned home about four o'clock in a state of great ex citement, anti having a gun in his hand, when, without any provocation, he presented the gun at the girl Haynes, and deliberately pulled the trigger. The gun fortunately missed fire, and the girl screamed for assistance, and ran out of the house and met Butler and Barnett, two of the mounted horse patrol, who immediately accompanied her back to the house, and on their arrival there they found that Lincoln hid fastened all the doors, and he was observed standing at the window with the gun in his band, and the moment be saw the patrols he presented the gun at them, and swore that he would shoot them if they attempted to come near the house. The patrols made a rush at the door, and Lincoln pulled the trigger, but the gun again missed fire. The patrols then forced their way into the house, and rushed upon the man Lin coln, and took away the gun from him. Before they had hardly time to place the gun beyond the reach of the in furiated man, he drew a horse-pistol from his pocket, and was about to level it at his own bead, when one of the patrols seized his arm, and the pistol was wrenched from his g rasp. He was th en h a nd cu ffed, and placed in the lock-up at the Hyde. The gun and pistol upon being ex amined were both found to be loaded, and the latter was charged with five small bullets or slugs, in addition to a heavy charge of powder. The prisoner will be brought before a bench of Magistrates at Barnet on Thursday, to undergo an examination. _ _ On Saturday night, about two o'clock, the inha bitants of Market -street, Manchester, were much alarmed by a report as loud as if two heavy pieces of cannon had been discharged, and upon inquiry it was found to proceed from the Swa❑ Shades, belonging to Mr. Deeming. It ap pears that a man named Woolsenham, a painter, in Liver pool-road, had been employed painting and decorating the interior of the Shades, and being annoyed in his work by some water dropping upon him, he cut the gas-pipe, when a most violent explosion immediately took place, nearly suffocating the parties who happened to be in the Shades. The principal damage is done to the shop of Mrs. H. Kemsheed (a widow), jeweller and silversmith, in Market street, and which was directly over the Shades. The floors were torn up, the counter broken, and all the shutters and panes of glass forced into the street, and watches and jew ellery scattered in all directions ; some teaspoons were picked up in the middle of the street. Mrs. Kemshead had, fortunately, just left the shop before the explosion took place. We arc happy to say no one except the errand boy, and he only very slightly, is hurt. Woolsenham was im mediately taken to the New Bailey, and was to be exa mined on Monday. LITERATURE. THE AMERICANS. 2 Vas. Longman, London, 1837. The great merit of these volumes is the plain, com mon-sense spirit in which they are written. There is no attempt at smartness or fine writing ; no aristocra• tic assumption, or parade of old English prejudice ; the author is. a dispassionate, observant man of the world, who looks rather to facts than theories, and has apparently no other object in writing than to serve the interests of truth. For these reasons we lay great stress upon his opinions—always excepting those which refer to the slave system in the Southern States,—a system which we regret to find him advocating, as essential to the legislative in terests of America. We have read this portion of Mr. Grund's work with considerable attention, but can find nothing tenable in his arguments. He ima gines difficulties—conjures up dilemmas and perplexi ties en masse—and then gravely proceeds to show that they are insuperable. Now what is this but a virtual begging of the question—an attempt to bolster up by sophistry, that which the writer feels is not to be de fended by reason ? View it in whatever light we may, slavery cannot be justified. It is at direct variance with one of the first laws of nature, which declares that man cannot hold property in his brother man. If we except this blemish, Mr. Grund's volumes are every way unexceptionable. He is an author who, it is plain to see, writes from his own impressions of things ; takes nothing for granted ; but considers and decides for himself. His long residence in America— he resided there upwards of fifteen years—admirably qualifies him for his task of sitting in judgment on " Brother Jonathan," and it is less with surprize than gratification that we find him reversing the unfavoura ble verdict passed on the Americans by Hamilton, Hall, and Trollope. The tendency of the transatlantic institutions, in particular, which these writers find such fault with, Mr. Grund shows to be every way beneficial to individuals, not less than to the mass of the community ; and that it is so far from vulgarizing, that it enobles, elevates, and even refines the national character : " When I said that the manners of republicans must be more nearly on a level with each other than those of a people living under a different form of Government, I was far from con ceiving it in the sordid sense in which it has often been ap plied to Americans. The tendency of American democracy is not to debase the wealthy in mind or fortune, but to raise the inferior classes to a moral elevation, where they need no longer be degraded and despised. It is not a drawback on in dividual distinctions or merit, which, on the contrary, it en. courages more than any other Government ; but it is a great safe-guard against the total abjectness of the lower classes. The seeming equality of conditions in America is not effected by withholding certain privileges from the educated and wealthy, but by extending them to the middle and even infe rior orders of society. The man of education or of fortune is respected in America as in Europe ; but the deference paid to his person is untinged with the humiliating consciousness of being incapable ever to attain to the same distinctions. There is nothing in the institutions of America to derogate from the dignity of gentlemen ; they simply prevent a certaia class from enjoying that title, to the prejudice and exclusion of all the rest. They are not unjust to the rich and the learned, be cause they are more just to the poor; they do not prevent good breeding or good manners ; but on the contrary, spread them amongst a larger number of people. But there arc men who cannot enjoy wealth unless they know that others are poor; who value knowledge only as it gives them power over their fellow-creatures ; who could not relish venison unless they know a half-starved population was dying for the want of bread. Such men have repeatedly visited the United States, and were of course much annoyed with the vulgar plenty of the land, and the desire of every American to be considered a gen tleman. It was this feature of democracy which they described as begetting low breeding ; because it is apt to make Ameri cans wanting in that outward respect which a certain class of men is always sure to meet with in Europe. But deference for the just claims of others need not necessarily be accompa nied by marks of humiliating self-denial." In the above extract Mr. Grund takes a correct and enlarged view of the democratic principle as it operates in the United States. He looks at it with the eye of a philosopher and a man of the world, whereas Messrs. Hamilton and Hall viewed it through the medium of aristocratic prejudice ; and finding that it did not accord with their own conventional notions ; that it did not fashion the gentleman agreeably to their views of gen tility; they pronounced it a vulgarizing principle, unsuited to civilised States. But can that be an injurious prin ciple whose first object—as the experience of half a century has shown—is, not to depress the Few, but to elevate the Many ; not to abridge freedom, but to root out monopoly; not to prevent "good b ree di ng or goo d manners, but on the contrary, to spread them amongst a larger number of people ?" The Americans may have no Corinthian capital of Nobility to support their Constitutional edifice ; they may have no fashion able Alit - lacks, or Crockfords, where their wealthier classes may graduate ; no lordly Prelates clothed in purple and linen, and drawing from the productive clasies the revenues of Princes ; but they have instead —what ?—an intelligent, contented population, blessed with all the comforts, and many of the luxuries of life; and Institutions which throw open to in dustry, perseverance, and moral worth, the highest offices in the State ? There is no " cold shade of aristocracy" in America for the aspiring ple beian to " wither under." He need not " stoop to conquer." He need not play the sycophant to those whom society may style his superiors, hi order to obtain their p e rmission to contend for the prize ; no, the prize is his, if he will but dare to struggle for, and be honest and manly enough to deserve, it. We sub join a description of the social condition of an Ameri can Operative, which, with all their boasted superiority, may well make the majority of European States blush for themselves : " On entering the house of a respectable mechanic. in any of the large cities of the United States, one cannot but be astonished at the apparent neatness and comfort of the apart ments, the large airy parlours, the nice carpets and mahogany furniture, and the tolerably good library, showing the inmates' acquaintance with the standard works of English literature. These are advantages which but few individuals -of the same class enjoy, by way of distinction, in Europe ; but which, in America, are within the reasonable hopes and expectations of almost all the inferior classes. - What powerful stimulus is not this to industry ? What premium on sobriety and unexcep tionable conduct? A certain degree of respectability is, in all countries, attached to property, and is, perhaps, one of the principal reasons why riches are coveted. A poor man has certainly more temptations, and requires more virtue to with. stand them, than one who is in tolerable circumstances. The motives of the rich are hardly ever que stioned, while th e Poor Are but too often objects of distress and suspicion. Pauper übique jaca. The labouring classes in America are really less removed from the wealthy merchants and professional men than they are in any part of Europe ; and the term " mob," with whi c h the lower classes in England are honoured, does not apply t o any portion of the American community. With greater ease and comfort in his domestic arrangements, the labouring An te . rican acquires also the necessary leisure and disposition f or reading ; his circle of ideas becomes enlarged, and he is roe. dered more capable of appreciating the advantages of the po litical institutions of his country." Mr. Grund—as it is fit he should be—is in raps tures with the American ladies. According to his ac count they must be perfect Houris ; thought th e i r ' beauty is but of short duration , giving symptom s o f decay at the age of twenty - four , and going wholly t o ruin at thirty. Alas, that female loveliness should be so e vanescent—that the very thing the eye most de lights to dwell on, should be the very first to " drop into the scar, the yellow leaf I" Miss limbic, if we remember rightly, has mentioned this proneness to sud den decay in American beauty ; but while warmly praising the external attractions of the transatlantic fe males, she has qualified her admiration, by declaring that they have the shrill voices of peacocks. This, it' must be confessed, is a drawback--at least Shakspeare would consider it so, and he is high authority. However, there is no such thing as perfection in this sublunary sphere, and we are content to take American faces as a handsome and satisfactory set-off against American voices--the more especially as the defects of the voice may in part be remedied ; but there is no lengthening a pug-nose ; abridging the dimensions of a mouth from ear to car ; or transforming an ugly phiz into a beautiful one. Our fair readers will no doubt thank us for the following attractive extract : " The forms of American ladies are generally distinguished by great symmetry and fineness of proportion ; but their frames and constitutions seem to be less vigorous than those of the ladies of almost any country in Europe. Their com plexions which, to the South, incline towards the Spanish, are, to the North, remarkably fair and blooming, and while young, by far the greater portion of them arc deaidedly hand. some. A marked expression of intelligence, and a certain in describable air of languor—probably the result of the climate —lend to their countenances a peculiar charm, to which it would be difficult to find a parallel in Europe. An American lady, in her teens, is perhaps, the most sylph-like creature on earth. Her limbs are exquisitely wrought, her motions light and graceful, and her whole carriage at once easy and digni fied. But these beauties, it is painful to say, arc doomed to an early decay. At the period of twenty-four a cert a i n wan t o f fulness in her proportions is already perceptible ; and, once passed the age of thirty, the whole fabric goes seemingly into decay. As the principal cause of this sudden decline, some allege the climate ; but I ascribe it more willingly to the great. assiduity with which American ladies discharge their duties as mothers. No sooner are they married than they begin to lead a life of comparative seclusion ; and, once mothers, they are actually buried to the world. At. the pe r i o d o f us h er i ng their in children into society they appear, deed once more, as respect able matrons ; but they are then only the silent witnesses of the triumphs of their daughters. An American mother is the nurse, tutor, friend, and counsellor of her children. Nearly the whole business of education devolves upon her; and the task is, in many instances, beyond her physical ability." We hope—indeed we are convinced --that Mr. Grund's volumes will go far to dispel many of the irrational prejudices that still linger in the minds of Englishmen towards America. They will here see that brother Jonathan, despite his occasional swagger and self-conceit, is in the main a good-hearted fellow, upright in his dealings, social in his nature, patriotic— quick-witted—enterprizing—and energetic. He May have his crotchets and whimsies, but who has not? We at least should not twit him on this score, or throw the first stone ; for who more remarkable than John Bull for bluff, national eccentricity ? Our conceit of pocket may be fairly placed against his con ceit of country ; and of the two foibles we think Jonathan's the most excusable. Let us then cease to ridicule and despise him ; but take him to our heart as a friend and brother. He speaks our language ; he inherits our love of freedom and enterprize ; his an cestors were ours ; his religion is ours ; nay, his ruling foible was ours, till the throwing open of the Continent some few `ears since, taught us to feel with Cymbeline, that there were " livers out of Britain ;" why then should we treat him with contempt as a de generate " alien" from the parent stock ? He is worthy of all our respect, and, in many instances, of our imitation. COURT CIRCULAR. The Judicial Committee Gf his Majesty's Most Honour able Privy Council resumed their sittings yesterday.
