" An Officer under the Flag on which the Sun never sets " is informed, that his letter, relative to the correction of a quotation from the Portfolio, has been received. It came too late to be of service. The subject of " C. T.'s" letter from Paris is of little im portance here, whatever it may be in that capital. Our readers are little interested in the question of " Henri Fan frede's " political principles. Possibly not one of them ever heard of that gentleman. The publication of Tug SUN NRWSPAPRR commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock. 4t 1. ert,2P.l yhfi ) p - • 4,, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 28, 1837. In the House of LOMA, yesterday, petitions were presented both for and against the Church-rate tax ;in favour of Municipal Reform in Ireland ; and for a repeal of the Poor I,aw Amendment Act. The last-named petition came from Macclesfield, and bm•e souse six thousand signatures. On the motion of Lord LANG DALE, the House went in to Committee on the Bill to Consolidate the Law regarding Wills. The Charity Commissioners' Bill, and the Sedition (Scot land) Bill, were then read sever4lly a first time. In the house of Commons, Mr. STANLEY, for Anglesey, and Lord HILLSBOROUGH, for the county of Down, took the oaths and their seats. Some conversation and proceed ings succeeded, relative to various Railway Bills, and several Bills of this sort were advanced a stage. Mr. Sergeant JACKSON called the attention of the House to a paragraph published by a Morning Contemporary, in which it was stated that he had been an uncertificatcd bankrupt. The Learned Sergeant said he should institute such legal proceedings against the proprietors of the paper complained ot; as would give them an opportunity of placing a justification on the record. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER postponed till Friday next his motion regarding Church -rates. The Municipal Corporation Act Amendment Bill was read a third time, and after considerable discussion and some divisions on amendments, was ultimately passed. The adjourned debate on Mr. WALTER'S motion for a A Et; !Ijoiplini!ttpf on the Poor-law Amendment Act was then re /oraerk----After some discussion, in the course of which the crir... /4. t .:•=7:, ...‹. - ____Orkval i fere. of the EXCHEQUER communicated the readi :l-fno, of th — overnment to admit the fullest inquiry into 4.77:1:d ,• .•.-. _ L . - • ,143.

Lord JOHN Rus • .:4.--,..z .. ti e ,:l , : v p' ii. a r s E 1.1:8 amendment was . accordingly agreed to, and the Committee nominated. The House shortly afterwards ad- journed. Mr. TENNYSON has given notice that he will this evening in tLe House of Commons bring forward his motion for the Repeal 2f the Septennial Act. The Right Honour able Gentleman's perseverance in keeping this important question continually before the eyes of the Government rind the country is highly meritorious. Convinced that the people can never exercise that wholesome controul over the Acts of the Legislature, which is necessary to the permanent existence of good Government, without returning to the good bid constitutional system 'of ricnnial Parliaments, we shall never be satisfied till that measure be obtained. Household Suffrage, Triennial Par liaments, and the Ballot, are levers with which the people of England may easily remove every weight that oppresses them—and to the obtaining of .these levers ought all their energies to be directed. We trust that Mr. TENNYSON will not 3ichl to any solicitation to postpone his motion in favour of other Parliamentary business. A question more important than the Repeal of the Septennial Act cannot occupy the attention of a Reformed House of Commons. The wire-drawn discussion on the Poor Law Amendment Act, has at last, thank Heaven, come to a close. Why it should have occupied more than the time necessary to state the original proposition and the amendment, it may not be easy to discover, unless it were to gratify that lo quacious propensity in Honourable Members which, of late, has increased most enormously, and which, if the transaction of public business be any part of the duty of a Member of Parliament, ought to be diminished. Had the object of the Honourable Member for Berkshire been a fair inquiry into the administration of the amended law, we cannot see the necessity of any lengthened debate, or any debate at all on the subject ; because the Government and all who wish well to that law are, above all things, desirous that such an inquiry should take place, knowing, as they do, that nothing will tend so much to show be yond all cavil the important benefits, in a national point of view, which have resulted from it. But it is but too evident, from the course pursued by the Hon. Gentle man, and indeed this was candidly confessed by the seconder of his motion, that it was the repeal of the law that was contemplated. This being the ulterior and openly avowed object of the proposers of the investigation, it was the duty of the Government to see that their sinister intentions should be defeated, and that the Act should have fair play. Accordingly the Noble Secretary of State for the Home Department moved an amendment, which, while it left the principles of the new Act unassailable by any underhand machinery, allowed a perfectly unlimited range of investi gation into its actual working. Now may it not be asked why Mr. WALTER did not at once accept the Noble Lord's proposition ? If the new law has been so barbarously enforced as he and some others pretend, here was an ample opening to let in all the evidence they could produce to that effect. But he re jected the amendment at first, and accepted it after wards, being content to withdraw his motion last night without one single reason more for doing so than he had on the first night of the discussion. Wo cannot help thinking that the Honourable Gentleman has miscalculated all along, and also that some parts of his conduct are liable to the charge of unfairness. When the Poor-law Commissioners applied to him to know what charges he had to bring against the administration of the law, that they might inquire into the cases, he refused to grant them the information required, as if he stood in the position ofan:advocate who would not be justified in lotting his opponent into his case, and not of a Legislator anxious to provide a remedy for an abuse. And as to the excuse given by him at the close of the debate, that he could not comply with the request of the Commissioners, because he had not got all his facts till yesterday morning, what is it but saying that he I;rnught charges, and called for inquiry without having suffi cient grounds to go upon ? We see nothi ng i n . last night's debate worth particular comment, except it be an argument advanced by our wor thy and Gallant friend Col. SIBTHORP, who said that he had seen certain statements in a newspaper by a clergy man of the name of BULL, reflecting strongly on the Poor-law and its managers, and that as he had not seen these statements contradicted they must be true. This is not good logic. We would put it to the Gal lant Member whether, if he were to see it stated in a newspaper, that an Honourable Member of the House of Commons looked exactly like an Ourang-Outang, he would believe it, though he should never see it con tradicted ? - We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of Sun day. The Charte of Saturday night contains the following official intelligence : " Government has received from Bayonne the following telegraphic despatch, dated Feb. 23, 8 P. M.:- " The factions of Valencia and Arragon, to the number of 3,000 men and 500 horse, under the command of Cabrera, have entered La Mancha. Madrid was on the 19th in great agitation, owing to the report that they were at Viana, and to the inaction of the northern army. That city has few troops, and is destitute of every thing. General Seoane was about to proceed to the northern army.' " On the 22d there was as yet nothing determined upon at St. Sebastian as to a movement forwards." We are really at a loss to account for the extreme re missness of the QUEEN'S troops on the Ebro. CABRERA could have been easily prevented from passing that river, as he had not, when leaving Navarre, one-sixth the number of troops now reported to be under his command. In his march he recruited his force by receiving into it the bands of robbers who infested the public roads, and all who preferred living by plunder to the procuring of subsistence by honest industry'. The QUEEN'S Government must have inspired the inhabitants of Madrid with little confidence if the temporary success of such a band of brigands can occasion them any serious alarm. The terrors of the good people of La Mancha have, we presume, greatly exaggerated the dangers to be apprehended from CABRERA'S bands—less numerous by half than they are here reported. The Phare de Bayonne of the 22d inst., contains the fol lowing curious paragraph, to which we direct attention : We have given up ascertaining the period at which the , grand attack upon the Carlists is to take place. The discus sions which have arisen between the Christino Generals, the rivality of interests, and respecting the command, the ques tions of vanity or opinions, have not subsided. EVANS con tinue.; at St. Sebastian, ESPARTERO at Bilboa, SAARSFIELD at Pamplona, the Deputies LUJAN and VALLE go from one to another, and can settle nothing. Yet the Carlists arc forti ing, assembling-, and preparing on all sides to giro a good reception to their enemy, and the English General, little con fident of surprising them, will not take the field unless with forces more considerable. " The position, already so critical, of the Queen's Govern ment can but be aggravated'by such inconceivable inaction. But why entrust a foreign General with a decisive attack ? What cares Evans whether the Carlists be masters of Irun and Fuentarabia, when for a year past he has been slumbering at St. Sebastian and Passages ? Is it not impolitic on the part of the Madrid Government to appear to depend upon a foreign General, who has been distinguished only by his de feat', and that to the detriment of Spanish Chieftains, who, we now can well conceive, are justly offended at so mortifying a preference?" Jealousy, then, of General EVANS, is the main cause of the delay which is taking place in the grand attack upon the Carlists. But why should the Spanish Generals be jealous of EVANS, if it be true that he is " distinguished only by his defeats ?" To entrust him with the command must be the most effectual way of exposing his utter incapacity, and of course, covering him with disgrace. They cannot be apprehensive that the loss of a battle will endanger the QUEEN'S cause, after their long experience of such re verses of the fortunes of war. There is hardly one of them who has not been beaten five several times by the Carlists, without the loss of a kingdom ; and therefore be fore thrusting EVANS in the background, it is but fair to allow him to be beaten twice.. From the jealousy of the Spanish Generals, it would appear that among them mili tary run-a►tiays are drubbed into heroes. If to fly before an inferior force—if to suffer the country to be pillaged by marauders within a musket-shot of head-quarters—if to pursue an enemy with such tact as to allow cities to be plundered without once exchanging a shot with him—if these be necessary qualifications for a Commander-in-Chief, General EVANS must yield to the majority of the Spanish competitors for the highest military appointment. The Spanish career of General EVANS, though by no means so brilliant as we first expected it would become, is fully as creditable to himself, and has proved as serviceable to the QUEEN, as that of any other General commanding in Spain. He had hardly set foot in the country, when, with a body of half-disciplined troops, he gallantly drove the enemy from the heights of San Sebastian and Passages, and would have taken Irun and Fontarabia, but for the treachery RICEur sTOc Bank Sto , l; 3 per (*tit. hr.( 3 re , Cent.

Ltsnorl, FEB. 13. —ln the sitting of the Cortes of the I lib, the Minister of Finance made a long speech, in which he de veloped the situation of the Public Treasury—shewed that the Congress must have recourse to extraordinary means ; but that all the measures they adopted must be prompt, because the ne cessity was urgent. He then proceeded to explain the inten tions of the Government, and brought forward his plans to authorise the Government to raise money for the immediate service of the State. FEB. 17.—The Diario do Governo contains the resolution of the Cortes, passed in consequence of the application of the Minister of Finance : I " The General Extraordinary Constituent Cortes of tho Portuguese nation, considering the proposal of the Government, in which it requests that till the Cortes shall have provided in an effectual manner for the several branches of the administra tion, it may be authorized to raise in money the sum of 800 contos of rcis ' in such a manner as shall be judg e d most con formable to the good of the State ; and, considering the ne cessity of providing for the public expens6s, the payment of which is imperatively called for, and also that the revenues which ought to be applied to such expenses are exhausted by anticipation, and that the sum asked for is inferior to the deficit of the estimate presented to the Chamber of Deputies in 1836 ; and finally that till rules are laid down fixing in a permanent manner the administration of the finances, it is absolutely necessary to meet the urgent public events, DECREE I. The Government is authorized to raise in effective money the sum of 800 Contos of Reis in cash,(Reis Metallicos) in such manner as shall be judged most conformable to the in terest of the nation, no other sums to be included in this, and which can be realized by the operations already decreed. 2. Among the bonds of the National debt (Titolos de Divida Nacional) which shall be received after agreements that shall by virtue of this authority be entered into by the Government, those of 1010 Contos of Ries concluded on the 26th May, 1828, are excluded. Signed by the QUEEN, And by ST. iIIANOEL DA SILVA PASSOS. Palace of the Cortes, Feb. 13, 1837. The Nacional says--" The proposal of the Government was approved by a great majority, but with the express ex clusion of the 1010 Contos of Reis of the loan of the Usurper. Rigorous as this measure may seem, and though the persons interested allege that this money was that of the Patriots (which is not true in its whole extent) it must be confessed to be one of strict justice, .and conformable to the most rigid morality. The 1010 were - given to make war on liberty and on the lawful Queen to support on the throne a usurper, and the greatest tyrant that ever wielded a sceptre, to oppress the Portuguese, especially tho se w h o are expatr i ate d, f urn i s hi ng means to defeat the generous efforts which they made,to give an impulse to the deliverance of the country ; by what right, then, can "the nation be called upon to pay such a debt, and especially since such payment is forbidden by a law which has not been repealed ? LISBON, Fin. 19.—The packets are still waiting, and four mails from England are due. We have only received over land two English journals from the 29th Jan. to the 3d inst., and in one of them the King's speech on opening Parliament. —Nacional.

The gas will be laid down in the new Palace in about three weeks, and the edifice will be occupied by their Ma jesties and the Court in May. The levees and drawing rooms will be, however, held during the season, at Saint James's ; the apartments having been recently re-embellished for that purpose. Dr. Butler, the Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, is gradually recovering from his lung and severe indisposition. Lord Haddo, the eldest son of the Earl of Aber deen, will leave England the latter cud of this week, for the Continent. The Hon. Mrs. Norton, who resides in Green street, Park lane, has recovered from indisposition, and accom panied Lord and Lady Seymour to the Countess of Minto's party, on Thursday. _ _ The Countess de Salis has been seriously indisposed with influenza. Her ladyship has been residing in strict se clusion at her seat, Drewley, Middlesex, where it is her in tention to remain for the present. The Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury and Lady Mary Talbot are expected to arrive in Paris at Easter. The Noble Earl has been making a tour in Italy, for the purpose of visiting the courts of several sovereign princes, with whom the Talbot family are on terms of personal friendship. The Earl of Albemarle entertained a small party at dinner on Sunday in Berkeley-square. The Earl of Clarendon will give his first grand dinner on Thursday next, in North Audley-street. Viscount and Viscountess Howick have issued cards for a grand dinner party on the 11th of March, at Whitehall place. The Marquis of Camden -will entertain Sir Nicholas C. Tindal, the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, and Sir J. Vaughan, the Judges of the home circuit, at the Wil. derness, the Noble Marquis's scat in Kent. A distinguished party has been invited to meet their Lordships, including the Earl Amherst, Lord Honesdale, Lord Brecknock, Colonel Austin, &c. The day appointed is the 11th of March. The Earl and Countess of Jersey arrived in Berke ley-square yesterday, from Middleton Park, for the season. The Marquis and Marchioness of Breadalbane and Miss Baillie are expected in Park-lane from Taymouth Castle, Perthshire. of CORDOVA, who became alarmed at the success of his arms. From that time to the present he has had to con. tend against the jealousy of the -Spanish Military Com mgnders, and the imbecility or indifference of the Cabinet. CORDOVA did all he possibly could to ruin the Legion, and the late President of the Spanish Council would have starved it had he remained longer in office. But with the fifteen thousand men now under his com mend, General EvANs ought not to delay an attack upon Fontarabia. if he can depend upon the courage of his troops, he has a force quite sufficient for this service. To wait for the co-operation of all the Spanish Generals would, we fear, be to wait till doomsday. An additional force of four thousand troops—the rear-guard of General RIBEIRO'S div,sion—were about to be conveyed from Santander to San Sebastian. That reinforcement has reached General EVANS'S head-quarters before this ; so, that his entire disposable force cannot fail far short of 19,000 effective men, with an abundance of military stores. In the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday an interesting debate took place on the presentation of a petition, praying for a reduction of the duty on Foreign coal. The petition was finally referred to the Ministers of Commerce and Finance. The principles of free trade were never more ably advocated in the French Chambers than on this occasion. The only other news in these journals - will be found in the annexed extracts from them :- PARIS, FEB. 26.—1 t seems certain that Gen. Bugeaud is to be sent to Africa, but is he going, as the Ministerial jour nals would make us believe, to re-victual Tremecen and La Tafna? A morning paper says, on the contrary, that he will be sent to bring away the garrisons of Tremecen and La Tafna, and to make arrangements for confining the oc cupation of this coast to Oran. This journal admits the expedition to Constantine will be undertaken, doubtless for the honour of our arms, but it adds that we shall withdraw im mediately, leaving in the city a Bey, with some French troops. It is also affirmed that Algiers will be declared a free port. The iipanish Government still endeavours to propagate a belief that it depends on the good will of the French Govern ment. In the Gazette of the 18th is the following passage : The measures which the French Government take for en forcing the decree of 20th January last, show that it, intends that it shall be executed in the strictest manner. The Mini. ster of Finance has, besides, presented a project of law to the French Chambers, asking for a vote of credit, for the purpose of maintaining 218 additional Custom-house officers on the Spanish frontier, thus to hinder smuggling, and throw, by these means, insuperable obstacles in the way of the Pre tender. The Minister, in presenting this project of law, made a speech to show the necessity and advantage of this measure, and concluded with these remarkable words, " The measure which we propose to you, is conformable to the t reat i es, an d will prove the sentiments of the French Governme n t an d yours, in favour of the constitutional monarchy of Spai n ."_ J ourna l du Commerce, Feb. 26. _ _ _ Lisbon Papers to the 21st inst. inclusive, have been re ceived. They contain nothing of importance save ac counts of the financial difficulties of the Government, and the efforts of the " Sovereign Cortes" to raise the neces sary supplies, and provide for the security of public credit. Tho following are extracts : HOUSE OF LORDS. 77 -(THIS DAY.) VAUX PEERAGE, _The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morning in this case, in which two gentlemen, of the names of Hartopp and Mostyn, claimed the title of Baron Vaux, as the descendants of the co-heiresses of the late Baron. The question raised was, whether the title was descendable to heirs-male, or heirs generWas, in the former case, the petitioners claiming through female descent would not be entitled. The Lord Chancellor was of opinion the title was descendable to heirs general, and therefore that the petitioners had made out their claim. It therefore remains with his Majesty to decide which of the two gentlemen shall take the title. PAGE V. BROWN. Their Lordships then proceeded to hear arguments in this appeal from the decision of the Master of the Rolls. The case appears likely to occupy several days. VICE-CHANCERV.-(THIS DAY. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor took motions to-day, but in consequence of the absence of Mr. Knight and Mr. Wig ram, who were engaged in the flottie of Lords, no case of any public interest came before the Court, and his Honour rose, having nulling to proceed with, at half-past 12 o'clock. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) ALDERSON V. CARSTAIRS. His Lordship the MASTER of the Roi.Ls gave judgment this morning upon the petition which had been presented by Colonel Walker in this suit, praying that his solicitors' (Messrs. Cow burn and Gays) bill of costs might be referred to the Master for taxation. His Lordship granted the prayer of the petition ; but inasmuch as the petition did not ask for costs, his Lordship ordered them to be reserved. After disposing of a few motions, the Court proceeded with the part-heard case of March v. Russell. CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER and Mr. Alderman FIARNtER.) James Hance was indicted for having conspired with others to defraud Mr. Edward Honeywood of varicus acceptances to the amount of 2,2001. Mr. CLA 11X,SON stated the case for the prosecution. It appeared from the statement of counsel, and from the evidence given to sustain the indictment, that in the month of May last the prosecutor, who is a Lieutenant in the 88th re giment of Foot, and a younger son of the late Sir John Honey wood, Bart., having seen an advertisement in the Morning Herald Newspaper, offering to lend various sums of money from 1001. to 25,0001., applied for a loan of 2001. to the pri soner, to whom reference was directed to be made. Hanse's residence was at No. 3, Leicester Place, and there Mr. Ho neywood was induced to give his acceptance on a blank stamp payable at his agents, Greenwood and Cox's, Craig's Court, and the prisoner having represented that it might be necessary to apply to a second party to obtain the sum required, he very foolishly consented to give a second acceptance, for all which, however, he never received more than 1001. Pending the negotiation, Hanse told Mr. Honeywood that one of the bills had been destroyed, or lost, by his servant, and a third bill was, without reflection on his part, accepted and given to the prisoner. It appeared that the stamps were filled up for .500/. each, and when one of them was about to come due,_ Mr. Ho neywood was written to to th e e ff ect t h at he could have it renewed by sending his acceptance on a blank 12s. 6d. stamp, and this he sent in the same thoughtless manner that marked his conduct throughout the entire transaction. The bills were negotiated through the agency of a Mr. Gardiner, who was charged with having taken a part in the conspiracy, and represented himself to reside at Fallow Lodge Finchley. The bill for 1,0001. came into the hands of the executors of the late Mr. Day, who are now taking proceedings for the re covery of the amount. No such person as Gardiner could be found at Fallow Lodge, Finchley, but it was ascertained that he was the same individual who had been concerned in various transactions with the prisoner —that they had been in the Fleet and King's Bench Prisons together--and, instead of being in a condition to lend money, the prisoner had some years ago been a bankrupt, since discharged, and on occasion remanded at the Insolvent Court. The trial was proceeding when our Reporter left. NEW COURT. Richard Wandsley, a respectable-looking boy, twelve years of age, was indicted for stealing a watch, a brooch, and various articles of jewellery, value 51. and upwards, the property of Mrs. Sophia P. Harris, in her dwelling-house at Blackheath. The evidence was conclusive as to the little fellow being the thief, but it was not clear that the prisoner took all the pro perty at one time. The prisoner received an excellent character, and the jury, under the direction of the Common Sergeant, returned a ver dict of Guilty of stealing under the value of Si. Charles Benson was indicted for stealing two sovereigns, the property of Cuthbert Woodcock, his master. It appeared by the evidence that the prosecutor is a tanner in Bermondsey, and the prisoner was in his employment. Having repeatedly missed money, suspicion fell upon the pri soner, who had access to the counting-house, and some money was marked, from which was taken the sovereigns in question, and the prisoner was apprehended. The prisoner told the Court that his father is a horse-jockey, and a man of property, at the west end of the town. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The COMMON SERGEANT told the prisoner, that unless he could obtain the recommendation of the prosecutor, he would be transported. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY DEAL, FEB. 27.—Wind W. S.

Sir--I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to transmit to you, for the information of the Com mittee for managing the Affairs of Lloyd's, an extract of a let ter from Commander Chappel, Packet Agent at Liverpool, reporting the important assistance rendered by Mr. Emerson, Commander of his Majesty's steam-packet. Etna, to two ves sels in distress off Liverpool. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, To the Secretary at Lloyd's. JOHN BARROW. Extract of a letter from Commander Chappel, Packet Agent at Liverpool, to. C. Wood, Esq., dated 24th February : " The Etna arrived here this morning from Kingstown at a quarter before noon. Captain Emerson states that in passing the N. W. Light-ship he perceived two vessels in distress for want of pilots, with all the sands under their lee, blowing like a hurricane, and no possibility of any pilots getting out to their assistance. He accordingly cased the engine, passed• within hail, and desired them to follow the Etna, by which means he guided them safely into the Mersey, and in all probability saved not only the vessels but the lives of all on board. The names of the said ships have not been ascertained." THE FUN'DS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Our arrivals this morning arc the French, Ostend, and Dutch mails. We have no ship letters.

London, 1837. As we have riot yet seen Mr. Maccullocl►'s Coanuercid Dictionary, we cannot of course give any opinion upon it we may, however, say that the work before us, which is in• tended as a supplement to it, is full of the most valuabh information on matters exclusively relating to trade ant commerce, and professes to bring down the information con. tained in the Dictionary to December, 1836. IBBOTSON ON THE CORN LA WS. E. Wilson. London, 1837. The best—that is to say, the most consistently—rea soned chapter in this little volume is that wherein the author endeavours to prove that the English landholders have nothing to fear from a competition with foreign corn- He here maintains his ground with marked success ; and his arguments, which are all of a direct, prac tical character, are well worthy the grave consideration of those—and they are a rapidly increasing class—who have turned their attention to one of the most important subjects of the day. growers. FAMILY POETRY. Tilt. London, 1837. Family Poetry, like Album Poetry, is our abhorrence, for, in nine cases out of ten, it is sure to be twaddle ; and, in the tenth, absolutely unreadable. There are exceptions, however, to every rule, and this elegant little volume is one ; for it contains, for the use of well-disciplined families, se lections from the works of the best modern poets, made with skill and judgment. The hest extracts arc those which have been taker► from the writings of James Montgomery, of Sheffield, the stately and impressive close of whose " West Indies" must be familiar to every lover of poetry. MEDI C US -MA GUS. Whittaker. Sheffield, 1837. We do not know why this poem should be called " Me. dicus-Magus," for it is, with scarcely an exception, a de• scription of the scenery in the neighbourhood of the Der• byshire Peak, and of the domestic habits and peculiaritie: of the miners in that romantic district. The author, Mr. Furness, is himself a miner, and shows throughout his poem that he is possessed of genuine sensibility, and a quick apprehension of what Mr. Bucke has somewhere called, " The harmonies, beauties, and sublimities of na ture." Some of his sketches are quite Crabbe-like in their minuteness—take, for instance, this description of a miner's daily occupation : " When winter nights hung on the silent dale, And wond'ring gossips listened to his tale, As curfew tolled the darksome hour in chime, Some useful knickknacks occupied his time; Then would he dress a helm, repair a shoe, Or scoop a ladle from a sallow's bough, Bore fuses, deftly plat, an osier hive, Make stows, and keep the heavy hours alive, Till nine had warned, when he with toil opprest, In holy silence sunk to balmy rest." For plough and cart he owned a crop-eared mare, That knapt the knolls and kept his pingle bare ; One brindled cow, that grazed the herby dale, At eve and morn for Agnes filled the pail ; Spring plucked him creases from her weedy floods, And summer berries from his wilds and woods ; For him brown autumn reaped a southern hill, And winter thrashed, and plied for him the mill." h e xpression in th 4 above passage, " Autumn reaped a southern hill," proves that Mr. Furness does not derive his ideas, like so many of our small coterie poets, from books, but direct from nature, as her processes are witnessed in his own bleak, but picturesque locality. We perceive, throughout his unassuming little volume, that he is a man of a strong but undisciplined mind, who has turned to the best account the few opportunities he has had of hiving various knowledge. We therefore say to him " Go on, and prosper ;" we sym pathize with the struggles of a healthy vigorous nature, to raise itself in the scale of intellectual eminence, and would cheerfully do our humble best to encourage it, when we would leave half the sickly " Annual" scribblers of the day to sink or swim as the case might happen. D EVELOPEMENT OF FEMALE CHARACTER, Virtue. London, 1837. This is a pious publication, and had it not been quite so prosy and prolix, might have been more successful than, we apprehend, it is likely to be. But why does this author entitle it " A Developement of Female Character ?" It is no more that, than it is a development of an Egyptian mummy. Woman—" varium et mutabile semper, fcemi na," as Virgil phrases it—is a riddle whom it requires a greater conjuror than Mr. Phillips to expound. Had he called his work " Spiritual Advice to the Female Sex," the title would have been appropriate enough, but we pro test against its being mis-nomered a " Developement." The most effective chapter in the volume is that entitled the " Heart Unveiled," which is penned throughout in a spirit of zealous, unaffected piety. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Forrest's performance, last night, of Richard the Third, is the greatest triumph, we think, he has yet achieved on the boards of Drury-lane. The character is well suited to him in every respect but appearance. But he made no attempt (as Kemble did, and Kcan still more successfully) to repre sent the physical deformity of Richard. His person was never better set off by all the advantages of costume—his various dresses being not merely magnificent but tasteful. His figure never appeared more erect and noble, or his action more graceful and unconstrrined. The " mountain on his back" was a mere mole-hill, scarcely perceptible, and seemed de signed as a sort of symbolical or constructive representative o. deformity. Of course it will not do for a tragic actor to degrade the character and lower the dignity of the buskin by such a degree of deformity as would excite ideas of mean ness; but to personate Richard as Mr. Forrest does—to in vest the crook-backed tyrant n ith all the manly beauty of a hero of romance, seems a deviation from propriety similar to what he would commit, if he were to take it into his head 'as a great actor is said to have done once in a country theatre) play Othello white. It did not appear to us that Mr. For rest introduced any new readings into the part, or deviated, in any remarkable particular, from the manner in which it has been represented by his most distinguished precursors. Such novelties arc generally found to be errors ; for Shakspeare's true meaning, throughout all his parts, has already been pene trated by the many men of genius who have personated them, and a new actor, who, without any affectation or desire to ex hibit superier acuteness, takes truth and nature for his guide will be likely to play any of these characters in the manner that has been most ordinarily adopted by those who have gone before him. Forrest, accordingly, frequently reminded us of more than one great actor of former days. In his fran tic outbursts of savage ferocity--as in the scene where Richard tries, by sheer brutality, to break the heart of his unhappy wife—Forrest brought before our imagina tion the very voice, features, and gestures of Cooke. In his sharp sarcasm, bitter irony, and occasional familiarity of manner, he resembled Kean ; and in the concluding part of the play, where the atrocities of the villain are lost in the martial spirit of the last of the Plantagenets, he blazed forth in the heroic grandeur of Kemble. We are not sure that, in parti cular parts, Mr. Forrest'reached the highest beauties of those great actors; but we arc convinced that, taken as a whole, his performance of the character has not been surpassed by any of them. Mr. Forrest's voice appeared to be capable of more exertion than it sometimes is, and he accordingly strained it less. We were greatly struck with its power and fine qua lity, as well as with his clear and impressive elocution in passages of a reflective kind. This was particu larly remarkable in the soliloquy in the tent scene, which was delivered with consummate beauty. The same melody of voice and graceful smoothness of utterance were apparent in the scene with Lady Anne, and dimi nished, in some degree, the extreme improbability of the termination of that strange courtship. In the great points of the part the effects he produced was most powerful ; es pecially in the tent-scene, where Richard starts out of his dream of horrors. No description can give any idea of the manner which the actor represented this mortal agony of conscious guilt. It was awful and appalling ; and the au dience were so thrilled by it, that some time elapsed before they were able to express their feelings of admirat►on by repeated thunders of applause. In the scene with Buckingham, where Richard, after affecting not to hear his minion's importunities, suddenly turns upon him with the exclamation, " Away 1 thou troublest me—l'm not in the vein," Mr. Forrest, perhaps, in jured this passage by attempting to make too much of it. The exclamation is an explosion of rage; but Mr. Forrest, while he made it so, also uttered the last words in a tone of sarcasm—two things inconsistent in such close juxta-position. The whole of this fine performance is worthy of an analysis, into which neither our time nor space permit us to enter. It was received, by an excessively crowded house, with applause which wail deserves the epithet of enthusiastic ; and Mr. Forrest's triumphant success in one of the greatest and most arduous parts in the whole range of the drama, must contribute greatly to exalt his reputation. More than usual interest was given to the other parts by the excellent acting of Miss Taylor, Miss Huddart, Mr. Cooper, Mr. Warde, and Mr. Matthews. UEEN'S THEATRE.—Last week Madame Vestris and Mr. C. Mathews, with the whole of the Olympic company, commenced an engagement for two nights a week while the Olympic is closed during Lent. Madame and Mr. Mathews are to play all their popular parts. The house was crowded on Friday evening.

JAMES'S THEATRE.—The great attrg Lion of this theatre during the past week has been Mrs. S. ' Hall's new drama, The French Refugee, which has attract crowded houses every night. It is an elegant and exege ingly interesting little piece; and its principal character, old French emigrant nobleman, is performed by Barnett WI the same truth and nature which rendered his Monsieur Jaqt so great a favourite with the public. Miss Allison and M J. Smith also appear in it to great advantage. NEW POOR LAWS.—Yesterday a meeting Iv' held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, to petition for the r peal of the New Poor Law Amendment Act. The meetii was called for twelve o'clock, but it was nearly a quarter pi one before the Earl of Stanhope, who was to preside, ente r the great room, whi c h was no t half filled during any porti of the day. Amongst those who appeared upon the platfoi were Sir S. Whalley, M. P., Mr. D. W. Harvey, M.P., /0 Wade, &c. Upon the motion of Mr. Murphy, the chair vr taken by the Earl of Stanhope, who in a long and labour address denounced the New Poor Law Amendment Act as most iniquitous and oppressive measure—violating as it d every principle of humanity by separating wife from husban and child from parent. Mr. Murphy read a series of resol tions deprecatory of the Poor Law Amendment Act, inaggio' as it gave nnconstitutional powers to the Commissioners deprived the rate-payers of the power of controlling the rat' which they paid—that it punished poverty as if it vier° crime—that it had a tendency to lower the wages of labour' and that it endangered the peace and security of property Mr. Saul, of Alderagate parish, Mr. Gough, of Shoreditc parish, spoke in favour of the resolutions, and denounced tb illegal injustice o f th e P oor L aw Amendment Act. Sir ' e Whalley expressed a hope that Parliament would institute full inquiry into the operation of the Act in question. Bell opposed the Act, and several Deputies from different pa rishes having addressed the meeting the resolutions were agree to. Thanks having been given to the Chairman the meeting separated.
