At four o'clock on the morning of May the sixteenth, eighteen hundred and forty-six, a British House of Com mons sanctioned the principles of Free Trade as incorporated in the great measure of Sir ROBERT PEEL, by a majority of Ninety-eight. Until the Constitutions of England are ex tinct, that day and that hour will be memorable. Posterity will revert to that division as the commencement of the most salutary system ever adopted by a Legislature. It will contemn the factious, scorn the asolete, and forget the invidious among the Opposition ; but its most grateful rec ollections will be concentrated upon the noble act with which this discussion has terminated. In the achieve ment, however, the achievers will not be alto gether overlooked ; they will have their memo ries embalmed by the gratitude of after generations. Often as we have already particularised those illustrious statesmen whose patriotism has formed the weapon through the instrumentality of which the people have thus accom plished the destruction of monopoly, this momentous occa sion will, we are assured, more than palliate the repetition of our acknowledgments in their regard. The victory achieved this morning—this bloodless and sinless victory, the deed of reason and the triumph of justice—will embellish the reign of our most gracious SOVEREIGN more than a thousand Aginconrts. The age of VtcroatA will be the more espe cially cherished and revered because it will be associated with those evidences of a QUEEN consulting in every instance the happiness, the welfare, and the interests of her people. Nor can our more prominent and distinguished legislators escape the most enviable fame which can be acquired by public servants, by public benefactors. Sir ROBERT PEEL, as having pos sessed the moral heroism to sacrifice personal ties, party power, and the most fostered policy of a career, because he recognised the benefits which would thereby result to the nation ; Lord Jost RUSSELL, as having, irrespective of all other considerations,first shown that opinions might be changed with consistency ; Mr. COBDEN and his Siamese colleague, as the most untiring and earnest orators for the dissemination of free-trade principles without the House, and Mr. VILLIERS as the most persevering and undaunted supporter of those principles within the House—have individually and collectively obtained a most enviable renown. In anticipation of what has so recently transpired, the readers of The Sun may remember that, on Mon day se'nnight, we ventured upon a prognostication that this third and final division in the Lower House of Par liament would be remarkable for an overwhelm ing majority. That prognostication has been ful filled. In relation to itself, but especially in re lation to the antecedent majorities, the present is parti cularly remarkable for its magnitude. Firstly, it is a majo rity, short only by two of a hundred! Secondly, it exceeds by one the majority upon the first division ! Those who would willingly deteriorate this estimate of the division list will possibly feel inclined, at the first blush of this announce ment, to ridicule that single vote as an extravagant and dis proportioned cause of satisfaction. On a second considera tion, they would, however, speedily perceive their ridicule to be excessively ill-timed and unfortunate ; for, on investi gation, the excess of the third majority over the first proves to be vow considerably more than that of a solitary unit. " But," these malcontents will persist, " the first division, in February, brought a majority of ninety-seven, while the third division, in May, brought merely an addi tional vote, ninety-eight 1" Granted ; the apparent increase is trivial enough. But the proportions show it to be at once important and satisfactory : the ma jority of 97 was in a House of 581 Members, while the majority of 98 was in a House of merely 560 Members. The arithmetical and logical inferences are ostensible : the majority is in all essential particulars over whelming. Thus far, therefore, these wonderful measures — germinated in the popular will, advocated by the Member for Stockport, and advanced by the Premier—have received the most emphatic approval of one of the three great divisions of the Constitution. The- ►SOVEREIGN has already evinced her gracious acquiescence in those measures which the greatest statesmen of the age have pronounced as absolutely necessary for the welfare of all classes in the United King doms. It, therefore, rests only with the august assembly of Peers to testify their accordance to the Bill : that their own interests are peculiarly involved in its acceptation we shall take an early opportunity of showing. And in celebration of the recent sanction given to the principles incorporated in that Bill, we may virtually date, from the present day, the proclamation of Free Trade. It is a curious and instructive fact in the history of corn. mercial nations, that England, after an experience of three hundred years, after restrictions upon trade and commerce without number, whether by heavy imposts or absolute pro hibition, or navigation laws, is, in the middle of the nine teenth century, rapidly adopting the political as well as fiscal principles which rendered the small republic of Holland the most flourishing, industrious, wealthy, and most powerful state in modern times. That little community, which after wards became so illustrious, commenced its very existence with the free-trade system, it encouraged the importation of corn and wine, and iron and wood, in short, of every neces sary of life, and every material for manufactures; during its prosperity too, and when some neighbouring nations were gaining ground upon the industrious Dutch, still they ad hered to their principles under every temptation and pro vocation which might excuse a departure from the sys tem, and finally triumphed over all their opponents. begaint teaches Zit ° History, a the mistress of wisdom," teaches us these facts, tanhaat trade the to ogreraetcneessde from m th i e ts r s e h p o u r b m lie w fi h r e s n t and the folly of the people, imposed the ambition of Btadtholders, and the expenses of foreign wars, y to us not WITT, who saw the evil day comingmp said, duties. 4D, If these augmented custom-duties belong imagine that our people, thus burdened, will be ne com pete with foreigners." Sir ROBERT PEEL, to his hono o urhs compli cated state :of society profited by such lessons, and has resolved, as far as a will admit, to remove every possible obstacle to the full development of what the Protectionists, using the phrase in a different sense, call "native industry admitted wool, or by silk all ; Free trade, in fact, is the only source of real industry, whe ther great principle,applied to which cotton, or s corn, u l o the an d o ed n a in thisg statesmen of this country, the Minister has founded a commercial system remarkable alike for its daring and its certain results. Experience, which shows what it has done points out with a precision approaching to reality what it can do ; and it is singular that the question had only to be fairly opened for consideration to ensure complete suc cess . Never on any m easure did such unanimity prevail among me n whose opinions are of value, as on this corn-law ques tion : statesmen, political economists, practical manufac turers, the great body of the representatives of the people, and the people themselves, are all on one side, and though speeches have been made almost ovation, without number showing the certain ruin which will follow this great innthe majority in its favour , afte r some three months' deliberation, has rater increased than diminished. On the first grand division which took place for going into Committee, on the last day of February, the majority was 97, and on the last it was 98, in a House with twenty-one Members less. The fate of the new system of policy is thus sealed. The prospects which it opens up are almost too vast for human conception ; for it creates a commercial revolution not in the United Kingdom only, but throughout the world. Want of space Prevents us from adverting further to the subject. We yesterday drew the attention of our readers to the result of the debate on Thursday night on Mr. SPOONER'S motion. The subject is too important to be allowed thus to pass over. It assumes many phases. We yesterday touched only on that which concerns SEARCH-WARRANTS themselves and to this we shall again recur. But, another point of little, if any less constitutional importance, was strongly put by Mr. WAILLEY, namely, this—ls the system to be permitted under which now, systematically, any petitioner to the House of Commons is liable to slander and abuse, in order to screen the Government ? Here is a strong case. Such teetinioniee were borne in the House to the char racter of Mr. TOULMIN SMITH, that no honest man can suspect the motives of any part of his proceed ings, but, be it observed, the Attorney-General thinks fit, in his place in Parliament, to charge a member of his own profession with conduct unworthy of his profes sion—that he had first tried to get money, and when that attempt failed had professed a public object. Now what were the facts of the case which, with all the mystifi cation and suppression attempted, came out ? They were these among others :—That there are now in the hands of Government documents placed there by Mr. T. SMITH himself, which not only show every insinuation against him to be wholly unfounded, but to be, in every respect, the direct reverse of the facts. This has been alleged in a published document by Mr. T. SMITH, was re• alleged by Mr. SPOONER in the House, and a letter from Sir J. GRAIIA3I read to prove it, and it was uncontra dieted and unnoticed, though Sir J. GRAHAM was in the House. Yet the Attorney-General professed to oppose a Committee, because all the facts were before the House. Why, here: are these very documents, not one of which was before the House ? In a Committee Mr. T. SMITH would have proved their contents ; therefore, in reality, was a Committee opposed. Again, the Chancellor of the Exchequer says, "We only judge Mr. TouLatrx SMITH from his own letters." But he knew this was not so. Those letters were read only with a colouring given to them on in formation derived from a man whom Sir Thomas WILDE de clared guilty of perjury. It was this colouring that gave effect to the letters. Everybody knows that a letter can only be understood by knowing the circumstances under which it was written. Again, the Attorney -General as serted that Mr. TOULMIN SMITH tried to entrap the officer. To every plain understanding we think it must be perfectly clear that the attempt at entrapping was the other way. The following facts came out :—Tbat it was not Mr. SMITH who went to the officer, but the officer who went to Mr. SMITH. This alone is suspicious, and clearly shows no wish of Mr. Salmi to entrap. One naturally asks—who sent the officer to Mr. SMITH, and why did he go ? But it was ac tually further declared—inconsistenly enough with the charge of Mr. SMITH trying to get money and not being able to succeed—that 251. was tendered to Mr. SMITH, and he refused to accept it. This is stranger still. But the mystery gets still deeper when we learn from Mr. SPOONER'S reply that, notwithstanding all the tattle about actions all the three speakers on the Government side, no actin had ever been commenced, and the time within which it could be brought had long elapsed. • - Now, we can, of course, know nothing of the contents of documents unproduced. But this is clear, that all the facts are not before the public ; but on the face of the facts which came out in the course of the debate, put together, more than enough appears to show that the insinuations made by the Attorney-General are wholly destitute of foundation. Again we say, then, shall a private man, bringing forward a case of public importance, be suffered to have his reputation blasted, and his professional prospects necessarily in jured by such language on the part of the Attorney- General ? We do not enter into the inquiry whe ther there was any private motive on the part ofthe Attorney- General. We say that every man who looks to Parliament as the grand inquest of the nation, before which public ques- tions should be brought, is interested in the protection of petitioners to that House. Ministers have here refused in quiry, apparently from fear of what certain suppressed do. cuments would disclose, and have endeavoured to damage, by all possible means, the person of the petitioner, by a mystification and misrepresentation of facts which of them. selves in reality throw only more suspicion on the conduct of the Board of Excise, or its emissaries. Letters from Posen, of the 4th, state that several arrests, chiefly among the noble proprietors of land, have been re cently made in that province, in consequence of new traces of a conspiracy having been discovered. Madrid papers of the Bth have arrived. The province of Malaga was declared to be in a state of seige in consequence of the recent attempt to assassinate the Political Chief. The Her aldo tells a long story about this attempt having been the result of a political conspiracy having ramifications in Granada and Vimeira and concocted at Gibraltar by General NOGUERAS. It however, adduces no proof of the existence of any such conspiracy, and the story altogether has the air of a clumsy fabrication. So completely is tranquillity restored in Galicia, that the province has been relieved from martial law. The Galician insurgents, who had taken refuge in Por tugal, have been sent to Perriche. MADRID BoLsa, MAY B.—The Three per Cents. were done at 32% for cash ; the shares of the Bank of San Fernando, at 320 ; and those of Isabel, at 188. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. In the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday, in the debate on the extraordinary and supplementary credits, a credit was demanded for the mission of M. DEFFAupts to La Plata. M. TIIIEAS took this occasion to attack the Go vernment for not having sent out a sufficient military force ' to La Plata. 'M. Guizor replied, and a personal and some what bitter altercation ensued between them. M Trnzas concluded by moving, as an amendment (solely with a view, as it would appear, of testing the strength of parties), that the credit should be augmented by 1,000 francs. This amendment was rejected by a majority of 80, there being 183 in favour of the Ministry, and 103 only voting with M. Tnizus. The discussion was resumed on Thursday, and the Minister of Marine stated, in the course of the debate, that the Government was satisfied that the fire which had destroyed the dock-yard of Mourillon, at Toulon, was the result of accident. _ .

FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE BRITISH MUSEUM.— About eleven o'clock yesterday forenoon a fatal accident occurred at the British Museum to a poor man named Collins, who was carrying a bucket of water up the ladders to the stonecutters engaged in facing the left wing, when on reaching a height of fifty or sixty feet, he fell backwards, and was precipitated to the basement. On being picked up he presented a piteous spectacle—his bones, dislocated and broken, were protruding through the skin. The unfortunate creature, who was nearly sixty, was conveyed to the Universl;y College Hospital, where be expired in less than two hours. LORD'S DAY SOCIETY.—The fifteenth anniversary meeting of this Society was held yesterday, in Exeter-hall, the Bishop of Calcutta in the chair, supported by the Rev. Messrs. 'larding and Hoare, Mr. Plumptre, Mr. J. Wilson, &c. The Secretary read the report, which deplored the continued desecration of the Sabbath, especially on railways, and also by the immense number of pleasure-vans and steam-boats which, crammed with passengers, plied on Sundays. It then congratulated the meeting upon the success with which the Society's efforts to enforce the due observance of the Lord's day were, in many instances, crowned, and stated that Windsor Castle was closed on that day. The receipts amounted to 7601., and the expenditure to 400/. The report was adopted, and the meeting separated. IRON, HARDWARE, AND METAL TRADES' PENSION SOCIETY. —Yesterday, the annual general meeting of the supporters of this society, for granting pensions to members of the above trades, and their widows, was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate street. The chair was taken by T. B. Simpson, Esq., the treasurer. The report was read by the secretary, and congratulated the meeting upon the progress the society had mad e since its formation three years ago. The receipts, which last year amounted to 1,3851., were now above 1,7011., this increase arising from the contributions of the original members, and not, the committee regretted to say, from any great number of new subscribers. From the state of the funds there was, however, every reason to hope that the object for which the society was established would be carried into effect in September next, when two distressed members of the trade would be provided with pensions. TOWN MISSIONARY AND SCRIPTURE READERS' &- cam—Last:evening the ninth annual meeting of the above Society was held in the large hall, Freemasons' Tavern.

RATHER NE w.--A few days ago a lady visited one of the most extensive shopping establishments in Glasgow, and made purchases to the extent of 801. On examining the contents of her purse, she found she had only 50/., and suggested that one of the shop-boys should just step into the carriage along with her, and re ceive payment at her mansion. Instead, howe thever, of arriving at a fine mansion, judge of his surprise when officials of lunatic asylum seized him and held him fast.

The result of the division in the House of Commons this morning upon the Cornßill has afforded very general satisfac tion in the City to-day. Hopes are now sanguinely entertained, after so strong a demonstration on the part of the Lower House of Parliament, that the Lords will not waste much time in carrying into effect the determined intentions of her Majesty's Government. At the present moment such is the intensity of feeling in commercial circles for a final settlement of the corn question, that operations in the foreign and colonial trade have been very much cramped; but with a majority of 98, as voted this morning, business transactions have already increased, under the full expectation that, within a month at least, the corn question will be finally disposed of. It is not considered an uninteresting fact that the French Ministry stand as strong as that of Sir R. Peel's, as this day's news from Paris show that Ministers there, upon a grand point, had a full ma jority of 85, and this too against the aid of M. Thiers, in con nexion with the La Plata question. The features in the Bank of England monetary movement during the week, to Saturday last, were these : Notes issued .. £27,244,995 Increase Rest Increase Public deposits, increase Other deposits ... 16,256,526 Decrease 523,854 • Seven day and other bills, increase 15,687 Other securities, decrease 167,123 Bullion Increase The public deposits, therefore, are now taking a turn again, the other securities are being lessened, and the notes increased. The Stock Market has not been influenced by the third reading of the Corn Bill, as it was pretty well " discounted," or reckoned upon, beforehand. Consols have been 96% 3% for next week, and 96% 3 4 for time. Exchequer-bills have been heavy, at 235. to 20s. premium. Bank Stock has realised 204% to 20i%. The New Three and- a-Quarter per Cents. have been 97 1 % to x, Mexican Bonds have receded from 33 to 32 1 %, but there have only been about one or two bargains. Brazil Stock is worth 84 to 83%. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been quoted at 58%. There is not much doing in Shares, but the few bargains entered into have been at previous rates generally, except for the French scrips, which are heavy. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

OLD COURT: Hawse, alias Howes, aged 32, was indicted for feloniously killing and slaying David Emmons. Mr. Ballantine appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Huddlestone attended for the defence. It appeared that on the evening of the 22d of April a quarrel arose between some labourers, who met in the house of the prisoner in Stratford, and the deceased was dragged out of doors by a man named Lancaster, another person, named Wilcox, and the prisoner. When outside the door, the scuffling continued, and the deceased and Wilcox fell. While on the ground prisoner kicked the deceased on the nose, and the blood gushed from it. He rolled off the man Wil cox, who afterwards picked him up, and after some further strug gling, the deceased was persuaded to go home. The kick inflicted a great gash on the nose. The surgeon (Mr. Baker) attended the de ceased, but in about a week after he was attacked by lock jaw, and notwithstanding every medical attention was given, he died. He would not swear that lock jaw was positively the result of the wound, but he thought it the probable cause. One witue s deposed that some time before the quarrel the prisoner threatened to injure the deceased by fair means or foul. Mr. Justice COLTMAN intimated that there was no case for the jury, and the prisoner was discharged. ASSAULT ON THE POLlCE.— William Ragan, an Irish absentee of a peculiarly forbidding aspect, was placed at the bar, charged with feloniously wounding Francis White, a policeman, while he was in the execution of his duty. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clerk conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Baldwin attended for the defence. Francis White, 103 li, said that on the night of the 19th of April he heard a cry in New street, Whitechapel, and on running there he found the prisoner, who was beating constable 185. The prisoner had a policeman's staff in his hand, and when witness went in to his companion's rescue, he received a blow from behind with R staff, which stunned him and caused the blood to flow profusely. Ile re covered, and received a second blow from the prisoner on the fore head, which struck him down insensible. When he recovered he found himself leaning against some area railings, and heard the pri soner say to some of Isis friends, " Throw the b- over the rail ings." The prisoner was taken into custody, and witness was sup ported to the station-house. He was afterwards under the care of the surgeon for nearly three weeks. He was positive that the blow on the brow was struck by the prisoner. He could not say who struck the first blow on the side of his head. Police-constable 198 11 said, that on the night in question there was a great disturbance in Sugar-loaf-court, Commercial-street, Com mercial-road. Ile went there to quell it, and took a man named Dennis Ragan into custody. When in New-street, the prisoner was attempted to be rescued, and two policemen (one of whom was the last witness, White) came to his assistance. He saw White struck by a man named Sullivan In the first instance, and also a blow given by the prisoner on the forehead. Both blows were struck with a policeman's truncheon. Mr. BALDWIN, having addressed the jury for the prisoner, Mr. Baron ALDERSON summed up, and the jury, after retiring for some time, returned into Court with a verdict of Guilty. NEW COURT. (Before Alderman FAREBROTHER and the Cdhatow SERGEANT.) Wm. Ricketts and Daniel Johnson, two young men, aged about 18, were indicted for stealing 19 live tame fowls, the property of Wil liam Leeson, Brixton.

PUGILISM. PERRY, THE BLACK, AND .. THE UNKNOWN."—At Broome's, last night, the appointed meeting, to draw up articles for 2001. aside, took place, when the renowned Bendige, whose retirement we so recently announced, was, to the surprise of all, and of none more than the sable hero and his friends, declared to be the man whose name should fill the blank in the agreement. To this Perry's backer and friend, Ben Caunt, strenuously objected, on the ground that at the time of posting the ten pounds, to make the match, Bendy was, by his own public detlarations, understood to be out of the question. His right to another " last appearance" was, however, insisted on, and a forfeit claimed. After much discussion, Caunt and his sable protege left. This morning, at a further meeting, it was proposed, by Perry's party, to go on with the match on Monda3 next, at Swift's, who holds the money down. Whether the last-named person will consider the cash forfeited, on the ground that Perry undertook to sign and seal on Thursday, remains to be seen. If he does so, the affair must begin de novo. PEDESTRIANISM. EIGHT MILB WALKING MATCH FOR 201. AsID7I.--A smart and well-contested trial of pace took place yesterday morning at a little before nine, at the Old Hat, Ealing, between two amateurs for the above sum. The one competitor was known as Mr. Price, the other by the sobriquet of " Little Dan." From his longitude the first named deserved the title of " High Price," while the other's stature may be assumed from the pieta of his nickname. Price gave his opponent 50 yards at starting, and both started at excellent speed. Price, however, carried most sail, for he overhauled his antagonist by the close of the second mile. Little Dan struggled on, but could not reduce the Price to par, and at the close he was at a premium of 100 yards. That the speed would not have done discredit to first rate professionals may be gathered from the fact that the eight miles was walked by the winner in one hour, 30 minutes, nine seconds. The stakes will be given up onTuesday evening next.

A lad of about fifteen years of age, employed on the premises, called only by the name of "Flora," had incautiously entered the engine•room, which he had no right to do, and had not been many seconds there when a portion of his apron got caught in the machinery, and drew him into the works. He sustained a severe contusion of the hip, and a dreadful laceration of both thighs. Fortunately there was attached to the machinery a regulator, by which, on the slightest pressure or obstruction, the engine Is stopped, otherwise the unfortunate lad must have been torn to pieces.

JOHN TALBOT.—We regret to learn that letters have been received from Naples from the Earl and Coun tess of Shrewsbury, conveying the melancholy news of the death, in that capital, of Mr. John Talbot, nephew of the Earl of Shrewsbury, and heir presumptive to that ancient earldom. The Noble Earl and Countess have had charge of their nephew since the death of his father, the Hon. George Henry Talbot, in 1839, and in the last autumn they left this country for Italy, for the benefit of Mr. Tal bot's health, which had occasioned the most painful anxiety to the family. The deceased was only son of the late Hon. George Henry Talbot and Augusta, daughter of Sir Horace St. raul, Bart., remar ried to the Hon. Craven Fitzhar din g e Berkeley, his 17th year. We hear that his remains are to be brought was in to Eng land for interment. The Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury are shortly expected at Mivart's Hotel, from Naples, on their way to Alton Towers, Staffordshire. T H E LATE FIRE IN NEW-STREET, FETTER-LANE.— Yesterday Mr. W.

At the time of the disaster there were Mrs. Brown and her female servant sleeping on the premises. Both parties having made their escape, they were taken to the Red Lion Tavern, where they were provided with a bed. On the morning of last Saturday, on the servant awaking, she was astonished at finding her mistress hanging by the neck to the bedstead. It was afterwards asserted that the deceased had wilfully set the premises on fire, with intent to defraud the insurance office. A communication having been made to the City Coroner, that gentleman at once ordered a jury t o b e summoned. Amongst numerous witnesses, Mrs. Elizabeth Shear down, of No. 2, Pemberton-row, said that she had k nown the y de ceased during the time she resided on the premis es .

Previous to the fire . she said that a party she knew was nothing before he had a lire, and she then asked her, if she had 2001., if she thought that that party would make her an offer in marriage. The party alluded to said de ceased had no ground for supposing th a t he should make her an offer, even if she had 2001.

The Court of Proprietors was specially summoned yester day to confirm the annuities to Viscount Hardinge and Lord Gough, as unanimously agreed to on the 13th instant. The Chairman (Mr. Hogg, M.P.), presided, and the proceedings of the last Court were confirmed. The CHAIRMAN said, that after the feeling expressed at the last meeting he need not make any observations, except calling upon the clerk to read the resolutions now brought forward for the proprietor's consideration. " At a general Court of the East India Company, held on Friday, the 15th of May, 1846, "R - esolved unimously,—That this Court confirm the re solution of the 13th instant, approving the unanimous reso lution of the Court of Directors of the 29th ult., granting to Lieutenant-General the Right Hon. Viscount Hardinge, Knight Grand Cross of the most Honourable Military Order of the Bath, an annuity of five thousand pounds (5,0001.), upon the grounds, and in the manner therein stated, subject to the approbation of the Right Hon. the Board of Com. missioners for the affairs of India. _ . "Resolved unanimously—That this Court confirm their resolution of the 13th inst., approving unanimously the re solution of the Court of Directors of the 29th ult., granting to General Lerd Gough, Knight Grand Cross of the most Honourable Military Order of the Bath, Commander•in- Chief of the Forces in the East Indies, an annuity of two thousand pounds (2,0001.),•up0n the grounds and in the manner therein stated, subject to the approbation of the Right Honourable the Board of Commissioners for the affairs of India." The CHAIRMAN considered it would not be necessary to read the contents of the Bill to be passed. In noticing the Bill, it will be sufficient to describe it as— " The draft of a Bill to enable Lord Hardinge to receive the full benefit of the annuity now granted, without any diminu tion of his salary as Governor-General of India." The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN seconded the motion.—(Cheers.) Sir P. LAURIE agreed with the resolution proposed, and he hoped to see statues placed in that room to the gallant men who had so nobly supported the interests of their country. A PROPRIETOR hoped that the great services of Sir H. Smith would not be passed over. After a few remarks from Mr. Fielder, Major Randall, Mr. Weeding, and others, the resolutions were unanimously con firmed. THE FORTUNES OF TURLOGH O'BRIEN. Part IL What we specified as the tailing of this writer, when noticing the first number of his fiction, we are impelled by justice to repeat on a perusal of its continuation. The descriptions are marred by over-embellishment ; every patch of light cast by.the sunset is noted down with a distressing scrupulosity ; the characters of the tale always think of, and speak to, one another in a su perlative manner. The heroines are not "beautiful," they are " celestial" or " angelic ;" the villains are not " unprincipled," they are hell-born " miscreants," and so on in a like fashion. If the author of " Turlogh O'Brien" had a lily, he would paint it; if he had gold, he would daub it with gilding. It is an unfortunate pro pensity.. It is destroying by repletion. As absurd would it be for a sculptor to delineate on a statue every separate thread woven into the linen. Unless the writer modifies his style, he will destroy a very agreeable novel. Jeremiah Tindal promises well as a questionable kind of actor ; but of his ragged visitor we can make nothing whatever. The attack upon Glindarragh Castle will bring the story to an interesting crisis ; but we trust the author will previously forsake his ornate diction. RAILWAY RETURNS.
