We beg further to observe, that a Letter with one enclosure doubles the postage only, but several en closures would by far increase the same; thus 201. 40/, or 60/., for instance, if remitted in one Bank of England Nose would only cause double postage ; hut 201. remitted in two Ten-pound Notes, or Four Five-pound Notes; would be liable to a much higher charge. It is, therefore, most advisable for those having to remit sooney to Hamburgh to forward the amount, whenever possible, in One Note, or One Check, or one Bank Post Bill, &c. &e. The same is advisably: on receiving Money from Hamborgh.

MARCH 15, 1837. Ir.► the House of Lords, the business was again yester d.sy chiefly confined to the presentation of Church-rate pe titio►ns. Lord BaotronAm suggested that the same eourse should be pursued in respect to the petitions presented for ;Ind against the abolition of Church-rates, as had been rit!opted when the Reform Lilt was under discussion, viz. the enumeration of petitions and signatures, in order that the numbers might be reported by the proper authorities, and communicated to the House. There had, no doubt, been more petitions against than for the abolition ; but the nur•tber of signatures was greatly in favour of the aboli tionists. One petition alone, from Birmingham, had 19,000 sigt atures LORD CHANCELLOn laid on the table two Bills ; one to amend the law relating to trial by jury in Scotland ; the other to authorise his Lordship to receive affidavits made in Ireland and Scotland. The Bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and the House adjourned till Thursday. In the Commons, previously to the presentation of Church-rate petitions, there were some proceedings relative Ita;tway Bills. In the course of them Lord LENNOX gave notice of his intention to call attention to the infrac tion of a rule of the House, which declared that a Member shoul(I not act as agent on any private Bill. Lord J. RUSSELL, in reference to the business of the House, named Friday for moving the Navy Estimates ; the following Monday for going into Committee on the Irish Municipal Corporations Bill ; and Tuesday for the intro eurtion of the remaining resolutions relating to Canada. Mr. BAIV,NG stated that the correspondence and papers on the subject of the Missing Whalers, before ordered, should be forthwith furnished. The adjourned debate on the Church-rate question was then resuio.ed. It occupied the House the remainder of the night, and was again adjourned till this day. Sir W. FoL LETT fired the first shot against the impregnable ramparts of the Cb urch-rate abolitionists ; he was feebly seconded in his attack upon the resolution before the House by Mr. CAYLEY, Mr. LAW, and Mr. PEMBERTON. The speakers in supper t of the Ministerial proposition for the abolition of the oionoxious impost, were the ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Lo rd Jour; RUSSELL, who, it will be seen, com pletely demolished the flimsy fabric of the High Church faction. By the overwhelming force of stubborn facts, follows by unanswerable arguments, they drove their op ponent s out of the field ; and so far as principle, policy, and jui tice are concerned, an easy but decided victory was obtain ed. Th at part of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S speech which ex poses the treachery of the Bishops merits especial notice. The debate on the Church-rates was again adjourned last night. Sir Wm. FOLLETT opened it by a speech of prodigious length and dullness, full of special pleading and petty legal objections. The House heard him with mani fest impatience, even his own party contenting themselves with a few faint cheers—for it is impossible to yawn and cht: er at the same time—thereby showing the sense they entertained of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman's inor dinate prolixity. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL'S reply was pertinent and conclusive, free from pedantic technicalities, and characterised throughout by strong good sense, not un mixed with caustic sarcasm. But decidedly the most effective speech of the night was that delivered by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who made terrible havoc with the sophistries of the Tories, and sundry edifying com ments on the present Episcopal clamour about the three millions of poor people whom the Bishops, for reasons of course the very reverse of interested, have just discovered to be destitute of all spiritual instruction. ." It had been stated," said the Noble Lord, " that the dif ficulty of religious instruction among the people was a matter of greater importance than the abolition of Church- Yates ; but what course had been taken by the Church Commissioners with respect to that subject ? They pro posed that 15,0001. should be given to the Archbishop of CANTERBURY ; 10,0001. to the Bishop of LONDON ; and proportionate sums to the other Bishops, in order that the dignity of the Hierarchy might be maintained. They also proposed that the number of the existing Prebendaries should be reduced, and that their income should be applied to the increase of religious instruction ; but they after wards recommended, that as their proposition had created some dissatisfaction among the Clergy, and as it excluded the Crown and the Bishops from the exercise of their pa tronage, some of the vacancies should he filled up, in order that the expectations of preferment entertained by the Clergy might not be disappointed. It consequently ap peared that though it was asserted that there were up wards of two millions of persons without the benefit religious instruction, the Church Commissioners did not think it right, for the purpose of providing for the wants of that large body, to trench on what was due to the dignity of the Hierarchy, to the patronage of the Crown and of the Bishops, and to the expectations of the Clergy. If such was the opinion of the Commissioners—that though the demand for increased spiritual instruction was great, its consideration should be postponed, in order that a muni ficent income might be provided for the members of the Hierarchy, was it not to be permitted to simple men, such as they (ministers) were, to think that for the sake of religious peace, the settlement of the Church-rates was fully as important as the Commissioners considered the maintenance of the dignity of the Hierarchy and the pro servation of the patronage of the Bishops to be ?" These stinging remarks will, we take for granted, have the effect of causing these Apostolic Prelates to discontinue their cry about the " three millions," and their famished condition as regards spiritual nourishment. They will see at once the glaring absurdity of persisting in a Jeremiad on this sub ject, when one member of their fraternity owns to a reformed income of 1.5,000/., and another to a ditto of 10,0001. per annum. But, as we said before, and shall often have occasion to repeat, the opposition of the Bishops to the abolition of Church-rates, is founded solely on pecuniary considerations. They imagine that their Ex chequer is threatened with invasion ; hence they are in arms to repel the danger, those of course heading the van who imagine—for it is mere imagination—that they have the most to lose. Let Church-rates be once abolished, is their cry, and who knows how soon we may be called on to con cede other Reforms, and among the foremost, a portion of our incomes ! At a late hour the debate was again ad- , journed over till to-night. Effectual means must be taken to put down Orange Associations in Ireland. Until they are utterly destroyed, root and branch, there never can be peace in that country. The confidence arising out of long impunity, and the con sciousness of having powerful supporters near the Throne, prevent the Members of such Associations from hearing, with a dread .of disobeying, the commands of their So- VEREIGN. • Misled by a blind intolerance which the ignorant among them mistake for an excessive loyalty, and which the bettor informed indulge out of the hatred they bear to their oppressed Catholic countrymen, they traitorously dare to constitute themselves Guardians of the KlNG—sole supporters of the Constitution—and only defenders of the Church of these realms. Such is their modesty that they will be content to save the KING from himself, the Church from the Parliament, and all three from the People ! But it is time they should learn that England stands in no need of such assistance as these ruffianly Associations—red with the blood of their fellow countrymen—are eager to proffer her. She has suffered too much from their misrepresentations ever again to be deluded by them. Despite of the Orangemen, Ireland must and shall have justice done her ; and this - cannot be tendered without a total eradication of all Orange Lodges, and other secret and illegal Societies. For upwards of a century has Oran , ,geism, in one form or other, proved the deadliest curse of Ireland. Its malig nant influence extends to every relation of social life. There exists not a spring of happy human intercourse which has not been poisoned by it. No spot is sacred from its ac cursed intrusion ; and wherever it appears charity dies, ac companied by all the virtues that sanctify human fellow ship. Those conversant with the state of party feeling it: the various districts where Orangeism is rifest in Ire land, mast kno.v that ‘vhereve.r its advocates come is contact with their Catholic countrymen—whether in the family circle or the crowd—at the hospitable hearth or by the " narrow house," where all feuds should be forgotten— bloodshed is only prevented by a dread of the avenging powcr of the law. The measures hitherto taken by Parliament to purify the Irish atmosphere or this social pestilence have only increased its irulence. Its progress is less open and exposed ; but its attacks are as frequent and more dan gerous because insidiously made. What cannot be done in the face of day is perpetrated in the night by hired agents, who add to the sanguinary zeal' of their em ployers all the innate meanness, cruelty, and habitual false hood of the spy and the informer. Ireland is at present overrun with such detestable characters, whose business it is to inveigle the discontented among the working classes into secret Societies, either in favour of Orangeisre, or against the Government. These wretches delude the po pulace with promises of money, and the countenance of certain influential personages ia the State, if they will take oaths of secrecy, and become members of illegal Societies. It matters not to them whether the misguided men who listen to them are in favour of an Orange or Papist Ascendancy. They have gained their end, and accomplished the wishes of their employers, if they can only seduce them into an illegal combination. The more Ribbonmen they are able to denounce, the stronger is the hold they expect to have upon the ignorant prejudices of Englishmen, and the greater is the apparent self-preserving necessity for Orange Societies. Now, after the exposures that have been made of the dreadful effects of Orange Societies in Ireland—after the knowledge Parliament has obtained of the pernicious and treasonable designs of such Societies, even as regards the supreme Government of these realms, it is passing strange that more effectual measures have not been adopted with a view to their utter suppression. It cannot be that the Ministers dread the malign influence of the Grand Master of this treasonable Institution. Wherefore then do they not deliver Ireland from this worst of social and moral pestilences? A Bill making it penal to issue warrants in the name of any Lodge or secret Society in these Kingdoms, and empowering Magistrates to inflict a heavy summary punishment upon individuals convicted of belong ing to, or acting as the agents of such Societies, would meet with no very violent opposition in either House of Parliament ; and such an Act—if strictly and properly enforced—would soon crush the spirit of the partisans of Orangeism. Mild measures will not repress the violence of such treasonable factions•as that of the Orangemen 0f Ireland. They must be so sternly dealt with as to be con vinced thereby, that the Government is bent upon the total destruction of Orangeism, both in Ireland and Eng land. Such severity is the more necessary, as they are secretly supported by personages of the highest rank, who lead them into the error of believing that Ministers will, but dare not, attempt the forcible suppression of Orange Lodges, knowing the opposition they would meet with at the foot of the Throne. While the blustering advocates for the continuance of Church-rates, and other ecclesiastical oppressions, are for ever bawling about the comparative insignificance of the Dissenters, and the deep-rooted affection which the people entertain for the Established Church, and everything be longing to it, they are rather chary of bringing the matter to the test of experiment. They have no delicacy in mag nifying the power of the Church, and multiplying the num ber of its adherents ad infinitum ; but bring them to book—try to get at the data from which they calculate—and you immediately perceive a consciousness of weakness, and a want of confidence in the grounds of their professed be lief. They shrink from the ordeal of facts, because they are afraid of the truth. An instance of this sensitive apprehensiveness occurred last night in the House of Lords. Lord BROUGHAM re commended that their Lordships should take the neces sary steps to ascertain the number of signatures attached to the petitions for and against the abolition of Church rates. With respect to the number of petitions, the Noble ans:l Learned Lord observed, there could be no doubt that there was a majority against the abolition, while in the num ber of sigl:atures, there would be found a majority of fifteen or twenty to S ine in its favour ; but it would be satisfactory to the House to know exactly how the matter stood. The Bishop of HEasFea.", in attempting to reply to Lord BROUGHAM, made much such a figure as MT. GRANVILLE HancouaT did on Monday night in the House of Commons —that is to say, he stultified Nmself, and fortified the argu ment of his opponent. 'rho Right Rev. Prelate asserted that an immense number of petitions had been presented from separate congregations, xnd also a great number from whole towns, cities, and even counties—thus very sa tisfactorily accounting both for the number of petitions and of signatures. Lord WHARNCLIFFX could not se; the advan tage of printing the number of signatures—we should have been surprised if he could—and th.ere, the matter ceded. After this rather interesting disen.ssion, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented a petition si;zned by the great ma jority of the rate-payers in the parish of Westbury, Wilt shire, which we think deserves the gravest attention from two classes of Churchmen—namely, those who hold the doctrine that there is no opposition to Church-rates in agricultural parishes, and those who with Sir W. FOLLETT contend that the law, as it stands at vesent, can compel the inhabitants of a parish to assess themselves for the sup port of the Church. The rate-payers of Westbury state that they have for seven years successfully resisted the payment of Church-rates, and pray that this impost may be abolished. Now, the great clamour raised against the Ministerial plan is pretended to be based on the insecure footing on which it places the Church. Will these stedfast and conscientious supporters of the Establishment tell us whether, even acccording to their own views of the security of a State Church, the plan of the people of Westbury be preferable to that of the MELBOURNE Ad ministration ? If they are satisfied that it is, then we say, let such friends of the Church vote against the latter to night in the Home of Commons ; and they may rest as sured that if they are successful, the Westbury mode of sup port will soon become universal. The main argument of the Bishops against the proposed substitute for Church -rates, is that the revenues of the Church are not now adequate to the religious wants of the people, and that if any portion of it were deducted to keep the Churches in repair, the National Establishment would be endangered. Now, we ask all reasonable and impartial men—(we put the Bishops out of the question, for if their incomes were ten times as large they would make the same howlings about spoliation and robbery)—we ask them to look at the real state of the question, at the amount of Church property, and the patronage and influence and power connected with it ; and say whether it is not more than sufficient for the religious instruction of the people of England ? According to the Returns (we appeal not to mere statements, but to facts) there are 10,473 benefices with an annual income of 3,184,0311., and according to Mr. FINLAISON, the annual rental of Church lands amounts to 1,514,6461., making altogether a yearly revenue of 4,698,0311. for the religious instruction of a population of 14,000,000. But enormous as this is, the patronage of the Bishops, Deans, and Chapters is equally enormous ; and patronage in this instance is the same as property, for a Bishop can provide for his sons and his daughters and his poor relatives out of the property of the Church, and spend, without anxiety about the future, his large income in splendour and luxury. Not one-tenth of the people of England have the most remote idea of the wealth of these meek and humble shepherds of Christ's flock. The Arch bishop of CANTERBURY, with the Dean and Chapter and other Dignitaries of the Diocese, have in their gift 232 benefices, with an annual income of 85,746/. ; the Bishop of LONDON and his staff have 235, with an annual revenue of 104,4291. ; the Bishop of LIN COLN and his dignitaries have 307, with a revenue of 92,637/. ; and taking them altogether, these poor plundered oppressed Prelates, Deans, and Chapters, have the gift of 3,810 benefices, with the moderate yearly income of 1,128,786/. ; and not satisfied with this, these very Bishops, who cry out plunder and spoliation, have proposed to rob the Deans and Chapters of their patronage, and transfer it to themselves ! The sacred writer, in the spirit of pro phecy, had such men in view, when he indited the remark able;words—" The priest's servant struck the flesh-hook of three teeth into the cauldron, and all that the fled:-Bonk brought up the priest took to himself." The French nails of Monday have not yet arrive& The delay is doubtless occasioned by the stormy state o: the weather. DUTCH FUN DS—AusrEttoam, March Li Money.

Yesterday their Majesties left the Castle in a close car riage, and drove to Virginia Water. Baron Gersdortr left the Castle this morning for town. This morning the King took a drive, accompanied by Lady Mayo. His Majesty was also out in the afternoon, accompanied by Lady Falkland. The Queen did not take her usual out-door exercise to-day. The King will leave the Castle to-morrow morning for St. James's Palace to hold a levee, which, it is expected will be numerously attended. His Majesty will return to Windsor to dinner. COURT CIRCULAR. Lord Glenel,s , returned to town on Monday evening from Windsor Castle, after having an audience of the King. Chief Justice Tindale and Mr. Justice Vaughan arrived on Saturday, on a visit to the Marquis Camden, at Wilderness Park, Kent. The Chief Justice and Mr. Justice Vaughan remained with the Noble Marquis till Monday; when they left for Maidstone. The Earl of Minto's dinner party included Lord Leveson, Hon. Captain Grey, Sir Augustus and Lady Clifford, Sir John and Lady Pechell, Sir Thomas Trowbridge, Captain and Mrs. Plumrig, &c. Mr. Kemp retires from the representation of Lewes at the next election ; Sir Charles Blunt has declared his in tention b come forward again. Mr. Wakley, M.P., has experienced so severe a re lapse of the complaint in his throat which attacked him three weeks since, that he has been again confined to his room, and rendered quite unable to attend to his Parliamentary duties. We understand that he had yesterday a portion of the uvula removed, by operation, and that in order to ensure a return of his health he has been ordered by his medical attendant imme diately to leave town, until the end of the Easter recess. The Duke of Devonshire does not leave town to-day, as stated in an Evening Paper. - - Sir Charles Vaughan, the Envoy on a special mis sion to the Ottoman Porte, is expected to remain a few days at Paris, and thence travett •Toulon, where a ship of war wil I embark his Excellency for Constantinople. _ _ Earl Bruce, whose approaching union with Lady Mary Herbert is announce , l, is in his 32d year. Her Lady.. ship is about seven years the Earl's junior. Lavemake forest, one of the Marquis of Aylesbury's seats in Wilts, will, it is said, be assigned for the residence of the noble pair. SERIOUS ACClDENT.—Yesterday afternoon, be tween three and four o'clock, a serious accident occurred in the Regent's-park, opposite Chester-terrace, to Captain Moles worth, a gentleman residing in Curzon-street, May-fair. It appears that he was riding a high-spirited and valuable horse round the circle of the carriage drive of the Regent's-park, for the purpose of trying the action of the animal, which he wag about purchasing. When he arrived fronting the Zoological Gardens, the horse (which was particularly restive) became totally unmanageable, and set off at a furious speed. Capt. Moles worth kept his seat well for some time , until he suddenly pulled the bridle right and left for the purpose of checking his speed, when the animal suddenly reared up on his hind legs, and, losing his equilibrium, fell backwards with the whole of his weight on Captain Molesworth, who received a severe concus sion of the brain. On being released from his perilous situa tion, he was taken up in a state of insensibility by some gentle men and conveyed into a house in Chester-terrace. Surgical assistance was promptly procured, and on examination of the injuries he had sustained, they were found not to be of so alarming a description as were at first anticipated. The horse on getting up galloped on furiously until he arrived Opposite Park square, where he was stopped without doing any further mischief. ----•--- TEA TRADE.—The following is the quantity of tea upon which duty has been paid for the year 1837 up to the sth of February :—ln London, 2,027,948 lb. ; Liverpool, 211,540 lb. ; Bristol, 70,490 lb. ; Hull, 1,650 lb. ; Leith, 50 430 lb. ; Glasgow, 44,689 lb. ; all other Scotch ports, 12,9721 b. ; Dublin, 148,274 lb. ; Belfast, 51,377 lb. ; Cork, 14,789 lb. ; all other Irish ports, 45,182 lb.

ATTEMPT AT ASSASSINATION AT THE EAST INDIA HOUSE, THIS DAY. An atrocious attempt was made this morning, at the East India House, to assassinate Mr. Loch, the Deputy Chairman of the East India Company, by a man named Kearney, who was lately employed in India as a conductor of Ordnance. Having obtained admission to Mr. Loch's room, Kearney at tacked that gentleman, and with a knife resembling those used by the Malays, inflicted two wounds, one on the back of the head and the other on the cheek. He was immediately secured, and is now in confinement. We are happy to be able to add, that Mr. Loch is doing well, and that no apprehensions of serious permanent injury are entertained by his medical atten dant. MAN SION-HOUSE. EXAMINATION OF KEARNEY FOR THE ATTEMPT TO MURDER JOHN LOCH, ESQ. The Justice-room was crowded to-day. The Magistrates in attendance were the LORD MAYOR, Sir C. MARSHALL, Alder men WILSON, COWAN, and WINCHESTER. The prisoner was placed at the bar, and is of sallow complexion, with a vague ness of look, and perfectly tranquil. Mr. Lawford, the Solicitor to the East India Company, said he attended for the Company to charge the man at the bar with attempting to murder John Loch, Esq., Deputy Chairman. It wa, the practice of the Governor and Deputy-Governor to attend early, and the prisoner had an interview with the De puty ; but after a few minutes the bell was rung, and a cry of murder was heard. The messengers in attendance ran in and found the Deputy struggling with the prisoner, and bleeding copiously. They rescued the Deputy, and the knife with which the wound was inflicted was picked up. Mr. Law ford here produced the knife. It is a Malay knife, which does not close up, pointed at the end, and mounted with silver. The knife was stained with blood. Mr. Lawford continued, and said the surgeon was in attendance still on Mr. Loch, and it was therefore requested to remand the prisoner for a week. Mr. Tudor, a messenger in attendance, was then sworn, and, in addition to the evidence of Mr. Lawford, said, that on hearing a cry of " Murder !" he rushed in, saw the Deputy struggling with the prisoner, who had grasped the throat of Mr. Loch, apparently to strangle him ; his hand was over the wound, which was bleeding profusely. The prisoner was in about ten minutes, and after he was removed from the room the Deputy fainted. He did not see the knife till after the man was removed. Mr. Raymond corroborated the evidence given by Tudor, and said the wound was about t►co inches long. On removing the prisoner, he said " Don't ill-use me ; I have done it, and 1 must suffer for it." The knife was found on the washhand stand. The Deputy could not speak except to cry " Murder," and afterwards he fainted.

BLACICFRIARS BRIDGE.—The repairs of this bridge. appear to go on very slowly, and the greatest inconve nience is experienced by watermen, lightermen, and bargemen navigating their craft on the river in consequence of the stop page of some arches, the partial blocking up of others, and the piles and other erections near it, which render the navigation extremely dangerous ; indeed the evil is a more formidable one than the groat fall of water and the narrow passages under Old London Bridge, so long and justly complained of. On Wed nesday morning last a sand barge going down the river struck against one of the piers, and the barge instantly sunk, drown ing one of the bargemen. His companion narrowly escaped a similar fate. A boat was capsized on Sunday afternoon by coning athwart the piles. There were three persons in it, who were saved. The greatest caution is necessary in passing up and down the Thames near this bridge. The repairs of three arches have been completed in a substantial manner, and a fourth is nearly finished. The masonry appears of a very solid description, and if the other arches are restored in a similar manner this once handiome bridge may bid defiance to the ra vages of time for many ages to come. At present the whole editioe presents a most unsightly appearance. There are two coffer-dams erected close to the piers, and the balustrades are covered with wooden planks, in order to prevent foot passen gers from looking over them on the works beneath. Tho in tended removal of the balustrades for a plain parapet will not add to the beauty of the bridge. AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OP ENGLAND AND laeLa sp.—The General Annual Meeting of this Association was held yesterday, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern ; Mr. Cayley, M.P., was called to the chair, in the absence of the Duke of Newcastle. The report, which was of great length, was read by the Secretary, and gave a luminous account of the proceedings of the Society, and referred to the present prospect of the agricultural interests. The Society was con gratulated upon the improvement which had taken place in'the prices of agricultural produce, but it was a matter of regret to the Committee that this rise in the prices of corn was in con sequence of the failure of the crops in Scotland and Ireland. The Committee did not recommend that any measure should at present be brought forward in Parliament, but that a close watch should be kept on the progress of the Church-rates Bill through the Houses of Commons and Lords, involving, as it did, such vast interests with respect to the lessees under the Bishops and Deans. The receipts of the Society during the last year were 9481., and after deducting the expenses, left a balance of 491. 13s. 7d. The meeting was addressed by Lord \Vynford, Mr. Spooner, Mr. Morley, Lord Darlington, M. P., Colonel Rushbrook, M. P., Mr. Wilks, M. P., Colonel Sibthorp, M.P., Mr. Stephen, of Lancashire, Mr. Alenate, Mr. Ellis, the Rev. Mr. Gwilt, Mr. Blackstone, M.P., Mr. Lewin, and several other gentlemen. The report was adopted, the officers for the ensuing year were selected, and after a vote of thanks had passed to them for their services, and to the Chairman, the meeting adjourned. The members of the Association af terwards dined together at the Crown and Anchor. Yesterday afternoon as two of the Eton scholars were coming to town, through Old Brentford, in a gig, at a rapid pace, they came in contact with a chaise -cart, in which were Mr. and Mrs. Gairdance, residents of Old Brentford, who were proceeding in a contrary direction, when, by the violence of the concussion, both vehicles were literally smashed to pieces, and the whole of the parties thrown with great vio lence into the road. Police-constable Cushion, T 138, who was on duty near the spot, and sacral other persons, imme diately ran to their assistance, when it was found that Mrs. Gairdance, who is a very stout lady, was much injured about the head. She was instantly coirvoyed in a state of insensi bility to her residence, and surgical assistance procured. On examination, it was found, however, that no bones were broken. The young gentlemen, who sustained no injury, gave their names and addres,cs to Inspector Marguard, as Mr. Horatio Mansfield, 51, Grosvenor -street, and Mr. Cost, 30, Hill-street, Berkeley-square, LITERATURE. WOODSWORTH'S POEMS, VoL. IV. Moxon, London, 1837. The volume before us contains the " White Doe of Rylstone," on which the " Edinburgh Review" passed such an unjust sentence some years since, but which time has since reversed ; the " Ecclesiastical Sonnets," and the " Memorials of a Tour on the Continent." Among these last are two sonnets on " Bruges," one of which we do not hesitate to pronounce among the finest, in point of thought, in the language. Here it is : " The spirit of Antiquity—enshrined In sumptuous buildings, vocal in sweet song, In picture, speaking with heroic tongue, And with devout solemnities entwined— Mounts to the seat of grace within the mind : Hence forms that glide with swan-like case along; Hence motions, even amid the vulgar throng, To an harmonious decency confined ; As if the streets were consecrated ground, The city one vast temple, dedicate To mutual respect in thought and deed ; To leisure, to forbearances sedate ; To social cares from jarring passions freed ; A deeper peace than that in deserts found." WYATT'S POEMS. Fraser, London, 1837. We have read this little volume of poems with much pleasure. It is the production of an elegant and thought ful mind, and shows considerable play of fancy. The best portion of it is that comprising the Sonnets, which prove that Mr. Wyatt has adopted Wordsworth as his model. His imitations, however, are by no means servile ones, as the following sonnet entitled " Brighton" will show. Though Wordsworthian in sentiment, it is anything but a slavish copy " Who seeks food for reflection, take his stand Upon this spot so thronged in busy day, And list awhile old Ocean's boisterous play, Rolling his gloomy surge—then turn to land; What sight awaits him I Strange variety Feast, revel, pomp, and ceaseless pageantry, In the close neighbourhood of the mighty sea ; And thousand lights upon the populous shore, While dark beneath the rushing billows roar— 'Twixt life and death what contrast need'st thou more ? 'Tis well. Oh, never yet to poet's mood,, On thine own waves, or rocky solitude, Hath a more awful voice been heard from thee, Than on this gayest shore, thou boar and giant sea 1" The above Sonnet is admirable of its kind, containing a striking thought fully and gracefully developed. The leading idea is not once lost sight of, but is kept distinctly in view. throughout. There is, however, one defective line, which Mr. Wyatt should not have admitted in its present state. The " feast, revel, pomp, and ceaseless pageantry" is sadly tautological ; for what difference is there between " feast" and " revel," " pomp" and " pageantry ?" meaning of the entire line is quite fully enough conveyed by the two words ." feast" and " pomp." This may be too fastidious criticism perhaps, hut a Sonnet, like a diamond, should be without a flaw. In a poem not exceeding four teen lines, we cannot excuse negligence. GRISI'S MARRIAGE.—It has puzzled many per sons that there should have been a law-suit in Paris respecting the marriage of Mademoiselle G. Grisi with Mons. Girard de Meley, and many unfounded reports have arisen as to a divorce, &c. There never have been any doubts as to the validity of the marriage, which was solemnised both according to the forms of the Catholic Church, and, at Langham Church, cc eording to the rites of the Protestant religion. The suit was au amicable one, to decide as to the right of property, in con sequence of there having been no marriage settlement, and it was decided by the French Court that M. de Meley take pre cedence of his wife's kindred. The French law appears to he the same as the law in this country in similar cases. On Thursday last, at Paris, a cabriolet belonging to the Quaen of France was fined two francs, because her Ma jesty's name was not painted in letters two inches long, the siz:! required by law. The driver of the cab was Count de Strada, who had the use of it for the day. The letter carriers of Paris are now distributed throughout the city by omnibuses of a peculiarly elegant form ; these persons are shortly to be clothed in a showy uniform. At a late meeting of the Linnean Society, the chair man exhibited a stalk of the " cow tree," or " Jersey cabbage," which was 9 feet 4 inches long, the circumference at IS inches from the root being 41 inches, and in two other parts 31. inches. A worthy tailor hearing of this colossal cabbage, declared it must belong to the things and not to the flints. The Prussian States Gazette states that the Pope has been perfectly restored to health through the skill and attention of a German physician, Dr. Ahletz, from Aix-la- Chzpelle. His Holiness had for a length of tiine been suffering from a cancer in the face. The ,journal above quoted adds, that his physician belongs to the Protestant religion. Mr. Whishaw's " Analysis" contains a particular ac count of the engineering details of the two thousand miles of projected railways in England and Wales, with a summary, glossary, table of estimates, &c. &c. The Reformers of Oldham have resolved to pu General Johnson, of Lincolnshire, in nomination as their can. didate . with Mr. Fielden. The expenses of the horse-patrol for the quarter ending Dec. 31, 1836, amounted to 2,3611. 17s. Id. The neighbourhood of Whitechapel was thrown into a state of alarm on Monday night, by the escape of a wolf from the premises of Mr. Bemington, at the Three Nuns Tavern, where it had been confined. It ran about, snapping at the passengers' legs, until a butcher in the market, upon whom it made an attack, being prepared, seized the animal by the throat, and, with his knife, nearly severed the head from the body. No accounts have reached us of any person having been injured during its progress. According to the Journal Paris, the Dukes of Orleans and fiemours arc on the point of coming to London on the invitation of the King of England, and will visit the principal towns of the kingdom. They arc to be accompa nied by the young Princes, their brothers.

They will after wards embark at Ostend. The Noblemen and Gentlemen, members of the Catch Club, to the number of forty, dined together yesterday at the Thatched House Tavern.

The Highland and Agricultural Society of Scot land has offered the- premium of five hundred sovereigns fur the first successful application of steam power to the cultiva tion of the soil. As an evidence of the distress in Shetland we may mention, that a vessel arrived at Leith this week with no fewer than sixty passengers, intending to emigrate to America, in order to escape the starvation staring them in the face at home. Information was on Monday forwarded to the diffe rent police-officeefrom the office of the Commissioners of Po lice, of a robbery committed last Friday evening at the resi dence of the Turkish Ambassador, in Sussex-place, Regent's park. It appears that while most of the domestics were out, the thief made his way through a passage to the servants'-hall, and stole a large blue cloak, with a silver clasp and chain, a blue frock coat, and other property. If the majority of the Irishmen have a right to re presentative government, surely, the active, intelligent, moral, peaceable, enterprising Canadians are not to be coerced by laws framed three thousand miles from them, and enforced by the bayonet. The Grand Jury found a true bill on Thursday against La Motte, the hygeist agent of Hull, for the crime of manslaughter, in causing the death of a person in that town by Morison'spids.—Doncaster Gazette. On Monday a daring assault and robbery was com mitted near Chalk-farm, on a wall recently built along the line of railway works, from the newly-made bridge near the tavern, and extending for some distance in the direction of Park street, and which is sufficiently wide to allow two persons to pass. Between twelve and one o'clock, while the men were gone to their dinner, a young man was walking on it, and was met by a ruffian who snatched his watch from his fob, and knocked him off, a height of' several feet. The fellow then ran a short distance, where the height of the wall i s l essene d by a mound of earth , and got away over the works towards the Hampstead-road. _ The New York Daily Express, in describing a meeting in that town, says—" From six to half-past ten the Masonic Hall was crowded in every nook and corner, floor and galleries, doorways and entrances, without and within, was as full, full, full —aye as full as jamming, cramming, and squeez ing could make them. The cheering was immense. The hall trembled as though shaken by an earthquake. When the name of Harrison was pronounced the hall shook, with the shouting, from its deep foundation-stone, even to the circum ambient welkin." KEAN.—In the year 1807, Mr. and Mrs. Kean visited this city, and gave recitations and imitations of various actors, among others, of Kcmble and Garrick, in Nokc's room, Minster-yard.

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, Al A ncii 12. The business to-day amounts to 3,000 bags. The market is still very heavy, and the gloom which has pervaded it for a length of time past still continues.

MURDER - OF MRS. ANDERSON.—Baron Richards, humanely, no doubt, though some dispute the wisdom of this lenient feel ing on such an occasion, postponed the trial of the servant woman Cooney, for the murder of Mrs. Anderson, her late mistress, to Summer Assizes next, notwithstanding the mise rable culprit pleaded Guilty to the capital indictment, at the bar of the City Court on Thursday, and persisted in that plea that she was induced subsequently to withdraw with reluct ance through the interposition of his Lordship, and to record a plea of Not Guilty, which she distinctly asserted was against her conscience. The punishment of this guilty culprit would be some atonement to the offended laws of her country, and an example attended with the most salutary effects. A woman of bad character, she admits the vicious career of life she has run, and the deadly crime which has brought such a stain upon human nature Cooney herself avows was prompted more by a motive of revenge for being turned out of service by a mistress ►whose confidence and regard she had abused, than a desire of pl under. —Limerick Chronicle. A bill-broker was fully committed yesterday to 'stand his trial at the Commission, for uttering a bill of exchange, knowing the same to be false and forged. LOVE AND SUICIDE--CORONER'S INQUEST.—One of the most lamentable cases of suicide which ever occurred in Dub lin was on Saturday investigated by a Coroner's Jury. The circumstances which led to the appalling event, and the age, character, and respectability of the deluded victim imbued the occurrence with all the painful interest of a melancholy romance. The unfortunate gentleman was Charles Stewart M'Veigh (a young man only nineteen years of age), who, having been disappointed in love, and pecuniary prospects, terminated his miserable existence by his own hands. He was an apprentice in the medical establishment of Dr. Mahon, Temple-street, and on the 25th of February, 1837, left the house without assigning any reason for his departure. It was conjectured that he had embarked for Spain, as he had been been heard to declare such an intention ; but on Friday night this supposition was removed by the event in question. On Friday morning the following note was received by a Mr. Gorman, a personal and confidential friend of Mr. AP Veigh, by whom it was written t " Friday, March 10, 1837. DEAR ALFRED,--Be at the corner of Eccles -street, Nel son -street, near night—by then I shall know my fate, so also shall you, or, at least some of it.—Your own friend, " CFIARLE S." Mr. Gorman was at the appointed place at ten o'clock pre cisely, and on seeing Mr. M'Veigh ' who was equ a lly p unc t ua l, approach, he w a lk e d t owar d s him for the purpose of meeting him, when he heard an explosion, and saw him fall. At the suggestion of the unhappy youth himself, Gorman had him conveyed, on the door of a watchman's box, to the establish ment of his master, Dr. Mahon, where he lingered in all the agonies of mind and bOdy till half-past eleven o'clock the fol lowing morning (Saturday), at which period his mortal suffer ings ceased. it appeared he had been attached to a young lady, but his age, and pecuniary incapability, precluded him from realising his hopes, by marrying her. A small parcel, containing four letters and a lady's glove, was found in his pocket ; upon the glove was written, in bold and legible let ters, " Leave this on me in the grave." One of the most remarkable and painfully romantic features of this melancholy case of suicide was, that the youth destroyed himself at the door of the house in which the lady to whom he was so fatally devoted resided. At half-past two o'clock a respectable jury was sworn before Mr. McCarthy, to inquire into the circumstances attending his death, and his state of mind at the time. The jury then proceeded to inspect the body, which was lying upon a sofa. On the removal of the coverirg, a face of remarkably manly beauty was exhibited to their view. A wound, inflicted by a pistol bullet, was in his left breast; it penetrated his left lung, and escaped at his. back. His heart was not injured ; he died from loss or blood. The father of the misguided youth, together with a younger ran, and several of his companions, were present dur ing the inquest. Several witnesses were examined, and a long correspondence read, consisting of letters from the unhappy deceased, addressed to Mr. Gorman, Mr. Remer, Doctor Mahon, his master, and to his father —ail written with deep feeling, and abounding with religious sentiment, at the same time expressive of an un shaken resolution to commit the rash act which hurried him hat° ,eternity. The verdict of the jury was : " That the deceased shot him self while labouring under strong excitement of mind, occa sioned by disappointments." Eight of the jury returned this verdict. The remaining four protested against this vordict, and expressed their opinion that the deceased was insane vvhen, he committed the act. JACK BRAG.--We are requested to state that this new Novel tiy Theodore Hook, Esq., author of " Sayings and Doings," " Maxwell," &c., will be published by Mr. Bentley, New Burlington-street, on Friday next, March 17.

A sufferer in the late fire, Mr. G. Pelham, informs us that the paragraph inserted in this, as well as in other news papers, contained some errors. The fire on Sunday evening: it now appears, broke out at Mrs. Flawn's, 40, Broad. street, Golden-square, and not at a Glass Manufactory ; and we are likipwise informed ; by the same individual, that the loss has not been so great as was repres en t e d. The Poor Law Commissioners have countermanded their order to form the parishes in the Bills of Mortality into one union ; the union is now to comprise only the parishefft within the walls of the City. In the despatches published of the Duke of Wel.- lington to Sir Charles Stuart, our Minister then in Portugal, from Villa Mayor, 6th of April, 1811, he uses the following words :—" It appears to me that the Government neglect several very essential measures to re-settle the country--'one if to send to their dioceses all the bishops, and to their Farisbeo all the clergy."
