The interests of the Church, in other worry, filthy lucre, however stand in the way of all this, and the people are therefore called upon to pay for what Bishops, Deans, and Chapters call their vested rights. When the Committee on Church lands makes its report next Session, the public will be able to judge whether there are not ample means to keep these and ail sacred edifices in sufficient repair, without having a tax levied on them under that pretence. Probably, however, we shall not have to wait for the results of that Committee —the House of Commons also took up the question last night—it formed a theme for some of the " dying swans," as Colonel THOMPSON appropriately designated the expiring Members, and, what is of more importance, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER added his voice to the chorus, and said, " the morals and improvement of the people would be greatly pro moted by free admission to all our public buildings and institutions." The Hanoverian Gazette, received this morning, announces the proclamation of the Duke of CUM BERLAND as King of HANOVER. His Royal High ness had not arrived on the 24th, but was hourly ex pected. The following are extracts : HAN OVER, JUNE 24. PROCLAMATION, RELATIVE TO THE DEATH OF HIS AIAJESTT KING WILLIAM IV. " It having pleased Diving PaovlnENca in its immortal wisdom to call out of this mortal state, on the 20th of this month, the late most puissant Prince and Sovereign William IV., King of the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ire land, &c., also King of Hanov er , D uke of Brunswick and Luneburg, &c., our late most gracious King and Sovereign, and the government of the kingdom of Hanover, by virtue of the rights of succession in the royal family having, b) the law of primogeniture, come to his Majesty King Ernest Augustus, our present most gracious King and Sovereign, we 'hereby give public notice of the same, observing that his Majesty, our most gracious King, now reigning, who is at present in Lon don, will shortly arrive in this capital, when his further com mands may be expected ; meantime his Majesty has been pleased to signify to us his royal pleasure that till his further orders every thing shall go on in its usual course. " ADOLPHUS, Viceroy. " SHALENHEIM ALTEN. " SCHULTE. " T. C. VON DER WISCII. " Hanover, M a y 2 4, 1837." Cabinet Ministers. Letters from Hanover, of the 24th o f J une, say— A t one o'clock thi s mornir's we received h ere t h e me l anc h o l y news o f the death o f our King, Willia m IV. A notification issued by the Viceroy an d the Ministry was read to-day in the second Chamber to announce this event, which will plunge the whole country in mourning. The Estates were at the same time in formed that his Majesty, our present King Ernest Augustus, may be very shortly expected. Councillor Shulte then proposed to send an address of con dolence to her Majesty the Queen, arid, secondly, an address of condolence to his Royal Highness the Viceroy, especially expressing the gratitude of the country for the affection and zeal with which this Prince has for more than 20 years, con ducted the government of this country. This motion, seconded by Dr. Christiani and Syndic Lunzel, was adopted unanimously by the assembly, which was deeply affected. His Majesty (Ernest Augustus) is expected here on the 27th to ascend the throne. The section of the Constitution on this subject runs thus :—" The King will announce his ac cession to the throne in letters patent, after which the oath of allegiance is to be taken according to directions issued by him, which arc to be the same for the whole country. In the letters patent, the original of which, with the King's own signature and seal appended, is to be deposited in the archives of the kingdom, the King promises, on his 'Loyal word, in violably to maintain the Constitution of the Kingdom." Ilis Royal Highness the Viceroy, with his family, will pro bably leave us, if not before, yet certainly immediately after, the arrival of his Majesty. There can hardly be a doubt that in view of the extensive duties which the Government must to have perform on this charg e of the Sovereign, the most important that has occurred in Hanover for a century, a dissolution of the Assembly of the States may be looked on as_ immediate. We are all in anxious expectioo of coining events, and, while mourn ing over our deceased Sovereign, indulge in the cheer ing hope that God may have given the country a gracious and just King, who, like his deceased Royal Brother, will look on the constitution of the country and the happiness of his sub jects as the most sacred treasures which God has confiled to him, to be accounted for on the day of judgment; and so, full of confidence and hope, we offer him, on his accession to the throne, the dearest possessions, the inalienable pro perty of his vassals, the love of the people. Numerous couriers and expresses have been despatched to-day in all directions. Several persons in office, who had gone to their country seats, have been specially recalled. The general mourning begins to-day. M. V. Steinberg has set out for Osnaburg to meet the King. It is said the King will stop here only two or three days, and then return to Lon don with the Queen. The bells of all the churches tolled for one hour to-day, at noon. This tolling will be repeated every day from all the churches till the 24th of June. The courier who brought the news was only ninety. four hours on his way from London. BERLIN, JUNE 21._-News of the death of his Majesty the King of Britain, at h ilf-past three in the morning of flat! 20th inst., has been received here to-day through the telegraph.— Prussian State Gazette. The whole of the Paris papers of Thursday have been received. With the exception of the news con tained in the following extracts they do not contain a syllable of news worthy of even passing notice : A. letter from 'Coulon, of the 25th June, is as follows : " The real purpose of sending a squadron to the Levant is un known, at least here. It has been said on the authority of the last letters from Constantinople, that the sending of Russian troops to Atlysia is a serious event, which may lead to some collision. B ut if R ussia desire to subdue the people of Al basis, how can this aggrandisement of the Rassian dominion 'n the Bl.:ck S.:a be obstructed by squadrons which cannot pass either the Dardanelles or the Bosphorus? Is the squadron of the Admiral Gallois intended to preve n t the revictualling of Tripoli ? We cannot oppos e the ailing of the Turkish fleet which is appointed to this service, only as the Turkish ship might attempt to land men or ammunition on the coasts of the province of Constantina, or to dethrone the Bey of Tunis, our ally, the motions of the Turkish division ens y be watched. " As for what is called the squadron of Atrica, it is evident that it might be more properly called the squadi on of Cata lonia. It is now known that the treaty of peace concluded by General Bugeaud is ratified ; it is even affirmed by other letters from the Ministry, that that Generd is appointed Go vernor of Our posscssions in the North of Africa ; it was there fore unnecessary now to organise a squadron to act in the Co lony, Nothing more is wanted than some vessels to bring back to France the greater parts of the troops, fur the faults of diminishing the effective force of the Army of Occupation will certainly he committed. As a further proof that the squadron of Rear-Admiral Lalande is destined for Catalonia, it may be stated that not one of the vessels now on the coast is included in it." 'The Don Sens has the following article : " The King of the Belgians is expected at Neuilly on Sunday. Two messages have already conveyed to him in. vitations from the King, his father in-law. Ang t opt dits, the so n -i n -l aw of Louis Philippe is destined to be the medium of the relations between the Court of the Tuileries and the new Queen of England. The Liberalism of the Duchess of Kent is talked of with a vague terror. Count Sebastian has transmitted alarming notes, which have led to the writing of an autograph letter of the King of the Frenc to the Que en , w hi c h i s said to point out in detail the dancer that would arise of putting the revolution s of France and Bel gium to hazard, by giving a premature developement to the reforming policy, by the formation of a new Cabinet. It is said that this letter has not had the expected effect, and that, in conseque nce t h e i ntervention of the King of the Belgians with his sister has been asked in favour of the statu quo which has been established with so much difficulty. —Le Commerce.

Zfle LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 1, 1837. In the House of Lords yesterday it will be seen by lour Parliomentary report, to which we beg to refer our Preaders for a detailed statement of the proceedings which •=1 ktook place in both Houses, that the Royal Assent was Mgiven by Commission to several Bills. In the House of Commons, the CHANCELLOR of f.'; the EXCHEQUER brought forward the " Budget." ! q. We hav e e l sew h ere not i ce d t h e Right Hon. Gentle -Oman's financial statement. The only other question of rpmportance discussed was the Imprisonment for Debt which, after three divisions on bringing up the kreport, was ordered to be read a third time on Monday. LiThc House adjourned at Half-past Two o'clock. i'l The financial statement made last night by the r!CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, on bringing for .lward the B u d get , was such as the country was pre pared . to expect. No person could look for a large Fsisurplus t o b e ,npp li ed to the remission of taxa- Lion who reflected for a moment on the embarrassed estate of trade for some time past, and the conse -1 luent diminution—th oug h b ut a tetnporary one— {-, .lof some of the principal sources of national re .l-." ;venue. Under these circumstances it is by no means -.e F_ :surprising that 4000001. should be the ut most t h at rss 'can be safely relied on as a surplus, in the financial ~timatc of the current year. Snell „ result is to he L4regretted. I t i s a pause in that tide of prosperity which i 'had set in ; b ut i t i s noth i ng more. The national re- Vl:sources arc not only uninyaircd, b u t w ill, we venture e to peophesy, be enlarged and strengthened, by the ~•'trial which they are now snetaining. If enterprise has t ..;been checked, it may peiliaps have been pushed to the l'.;extent of dangerous speculation ; and if the immediate ! .?result, however painf u l i n t h e meantime, shall have the eeffect—as we think it will—of introducin g , greater PV:'caution in mercantile afairs, as well as greater mode ration in the views of Inereentile men, we shall have rig:lined a lesson of practical wisdom which can scarcely Abe too d ear ly purc h ased. (A For the particnlars of the 11:1:4 , ,et we mu et refer our [ei readers to the brii4f but clear and straightforward state •inetet of th e Ri g h t H on. Gctuleman who opened it up rt. the House. It is gratifying to find, from such !•enthority, the corroboration of the important principle, L 2 that two and two do not alway s make four in taxa rJtion—that the lightenin g of a tax, so far from being ...,-,- !--: hurtful, is beneficial to the revenue, by the increased f7OIISUITIptiOII Which it creates, both of th e art i c l e re elJieved and of others. We slab the principle were net I ..l lnerely recognised in theory, but acted on a little more - ,!freely in practise. Li ' The immense increase in the consumptio n of tea, noticed by the CHANcl,:Li.or t of the EXCHZQUER is Valso w ort h y o f remark —we should rather say a subject P„;of congratulation—in anoth er point of view, It ap - Hpears to us an inevitable consequenc e ei the inerensinr, taste for this innocent, nay v:holesome beverage, tl ; : among the lower classes that the desire for intoxicat -I,ing liquors is on the decrease, and that the morals of Leethose classes e re un d ergoing y chang e — w hi c h a salutar If.,3,nay, in 7 - dtt at least, be ascribed to a j ud i cious remis e sion ot taxation, ~ Public feeling has long been stron g ly i n f avour of a vl'..eptoposition, w hi c h h as been repeatedly brought in vain before P ar li ament, for giving free admission to al thepubli c b u ildi ngs and institutions of the country, re , Vi it i s grat if y i ng to find that this feeling has at t`4length made suc h an i mpression in that quar es ter that, Ntn all p ro b a bili ty, another year will not elapse before these places are thrown open to the public. Lord F7IBROVGIIANI and L or d lIATHERTON last even i ng ilistrongly recommended that the public should have fe access, not only t o th e N at i onal Gallery, the Towerer, r and simil ar p l aces under the control of the Govern meat, but a l so to t h e N ational Cathedrals of St. : Paul's and Westminster.

LENNOX the London and Beighton Railway (Rennie's line) was read a third time and passed. Mr. WARBURTON brought up the Report of the Com mittee on the Bills of Exchange Bill, which was agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be engrossed. REFORM OF PARLIAMENT (IRELAND) BILL. On the Order of the Day for goin g into Committee on the Reform of Parliam en t (I re l an d) Bill, Mr. LEFRO Y objected to proceeding with the measure, contending that Irish Members could not suppose, after the declaration of the Noble Lord at the head of the Home Office, that no important business, which was not pressing, should be proceeded with, that this measure was to be hurried through. He therefore should object to the House going into Committee. Mr. Sergeant WOULFE said that great injustice would be done to the electors of Ireland if the Bill did Int pass into a law during the present Session. He therefore trusted that no delay would take place—that delay was not necessary, as the Bill did not introduce any new principle. Mr. Sergeant G 0 ULB URN said that the measure being introduced on a day on which the House had met for mere formal business, he hoped some other day would be appointed for discussing the measure in Committee. Lord HO WICK considered that the Bill was one of such importance that it ought to be proceeded with at once. It was more especially necessary as they were at the present mo ment, on the eve of a general election, and the object of the Bill being to correct a defect in the present law. Mr. SHAW said that the introduction of the Bill at the present moment was for the purpose of advocating a particular interest just before a general election. The present Bill was most partial, as it only affected the county of Cork. If the Noble Lord would bring in a general Bill, extending to all parts of Ireland, he would give it his best attention ; but he would never agree to so partial a measure as the present. _ _ _ Sir G. GREY thought the Bill should be proceeded with, and the fact of a general election being at hand rendered it more necessary. It had been said the Bill was partial. He de nied that it was so, as it applied to every borough in Ireland. Colonel PERCEVAL opposed the proceeding with the Bill ; as did Sir E. KNATCHBULL and Mr. ESTCOURT. Mr. C. BULLER, Mr. CALLAGHAN, and Sir G. SINCLAIR, thought the House ought to go into Committee on the Bill. Lord J. RUSSELL thought the present measure must be considered as a public one, and that great injury would take place unless it was allowed to proceed. When he stated that none but pressing measure, 'should he proceeded with it in the course of the present Session, he never intended to exclude from the consideration of the House so important a measure as the present, the object of I%hich was to correct a defect in the existing law. After some further observations from Mr. SHAW and Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the Committee on the Bill was postponed un it Monday. PARLIANIENTARY ELECTIONS BILL. The Parliamentary Elections Bill went through Committee. On the motion of Mr. E L PHINSTO NE, the Lords' amendments to the Liverpool Improvement Bill were agreed to. On the Order of the Day being read for receiving the report on th• Final Register of Electors' Bill, Mr. Sergeant G 0 [MB URN said he should consider it his duty to take the sense of the House on the motion if he stood alone, as the Bill had been framed for the purposes of the ge neral election, and that alone. Mr. WA K LEY defended the Bill, and trusted that the Hon. Member would stand alone in his opposition. After a Few lobservations from Sir C. BROKE VERB, strangers were ordered to withdraw. M. Sergeant G 0 UL BURN having moved that the House should be counted, there being 40 Members present, including the Speaker, the House proceeded, and the report was received. The Municipal Rates Bill was further considered. The Bill was ordered to be engrossed, and the third reading was fixed for Monday. The Cruelty to Animals Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. The House adjourned at a Quarter-past Two o'Clock to Three o'Clock on Monday. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have seen private letters received this morning from Lisbon of the 25th ult. All was perfectly tranquil there, and the Minister of Finance proposed to levy a duty on ground rent, which was agreed to, and the Minister appears to be in very high spirits. the New York packet, which is daily expected, no doubt is prevented reaching our shores by the easterly winds. Consols, which closed yesterday at 92k for the Account, opened this morning at 92k for the Account ; Exchequer Bills 33 prem. ; India Bonds 34 prem. ; Bank Stock 200 k. In the Foreign Market little doing as yet ; Spanish Active closed at 21A- ex. Coupons, opened at 22 with the Coupons; Portuguese 43i; Three per Cents. 28 . i; Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. 53; a. Accounts from Falmouth of the 29th of June state that the Peninsula steamer had arrived there ; left Malaga on the 19th ult., Cadiz 21st, and Lisbon, 25th ult. At Lisbon all was tranquil, and the Ministry remained without change. The Minister of Finance held forth a hope that he would in a great measure be able to redeem the credit of the coun try, if circumstances permitted his remaining in office. Ac counts had reached Lisbon from Algarve, which state the force of Remechido as having successfully discomfited the re gular troops sent against them, taking several prisoners, and shooting part of them, with their officers. The Cortes were chiefly occupied with the clauses of the new Constitution. The English fleet continued in the Tagus. At Cadiz a report was current on the departure of the steamer, that the Christinos had obtained a complete victory over the Carlists, in which the latter lost 5,000 in killed and wounded. The news did not obtain credit. HALF-PAST ONE. We do not hear of any further arrivals up to the present time, either from France or Spain, although there has been some business doing in the Spanish Funds. Active has im proved from 22 : ,} to 22 i 1 ,- 2:3, with the Coupons. Consols have continued steady during the morning at 924 for the Account. In the British securities little has been doing:. Money continues very scarce, and five per cent, is readily given. Exchequer Bills lower, 32 prem. ; India Bonds lower, 32 prem. ; Bank Stock, 205 209.

General Meade where a young gentleman of the name of Long, most fashionably attired, was.endezvouring to force his way into the house, and, after some violent language, knocked down the footman, who strove to oppose his entrance. On the assistance of the police coming up he attacked them most desperately, and succeeded in knocking down several of them. A number of the spectators interfered, and endeavoured to se cure him, but with no better success, as the gentleman fought desperately, and one after the other bit the dust. A large body of police, however, opportunely coming up, Mr. Long was overpowered, and with some difficulty secured and con veyed to the station-house in Marylebone-lane, a large crowd following him there, many of them bearing strong marks of the encounter. On his arrival his conduct was so violent that a straight waistcoat was procured and put on him, thus prevent ing him from doing any further injury. It was afterwa ds certained that the unfortunate gentleman was insane ; and it was reported that the cause of his extraordinary conduct was a desire to ace one of the daughters of the gallant general, to whom he had formed an attachment, which was discounte ' danced by her family. Lord Liridport shortly after waited on Mr. Long at the station-house, anti stated that the unfortu nate gentleman had only dined with him in Portland-plac e the day previously. Mr. L. was ultimately placed in a coach, and conveyed to a private lunatic asylum. MAZAZINE DAY. _ . BLA CK WOO MAGA2iii cc Sir John Sinclair " is an interesting notice 61 b! df Whioi We made honourable mention some weeks since in :tht" Sun. The tale of " Trevanion," which forms the first HP n ioolioJ iii illit:ti•rttion of ft . provincial " Picture Gallery," is brought to a concinsion. fkl!lrio.fe the " Picture Gallery" will be continued, for the sub jeCt Aftoßl4 oteellimt materials for a variety of tales grave and gay, asp any one nifty imagine tvbty has ever visited one of those old=fashiorted galleries, in which so many of our old Tamil ltitttiswhs alioundi particu larly in the West of England. " Crystals front A Cavern" is no misnomer, for it is rich in brilliant thoughts, expressed with much felicity. We subjoin a few of them : 3. " As one who at broad noonday should close the windows and doors of his house, and stop every crevice to keep cut the light that it may not dim the shining of kis candles, and should then strike a spark in this corner and that, and rejoice in see ing here a match and there a taper, and think bow much nobler it is to enjoy this illumination of his own than to owe aught to the sun—so is he who shuts himself in the chambers of his self-will, and darkens himself against the radiance of truth. Poor man, he knows not in the pride of his inde pendence that even his weak and meagre glimmer is a witness to some higher source of light than himself, whose effluence he did not create but only appropriate and obscure. 4. " To the:eye of Faith, and of Science too, which without fa:th is but a catalogue of names, every grain of dust is sur rounded with its own coloured and life-sustaining atmosphere, and turns on the poles of a principle, that is, of a life go verned by a law. 5. " Ariel imprisoned in the pine, such is the view of man's spirit, if evil be but hinderance and difficulty. 13ut if evil be guilt, be sin, man is an Ariel, pent not ►n the trunk of the pine, but in the heart of Caliban, filled with the same life-blood, stirred by the same emotions, and feeling every hideous temptation that assails or resides in that bestial form, and condemned to regard it as the companion and instrument of all his acts. From that dismal bondage no magic wand, no sage charming of a human Prospero can call the captive forth." The " Athenian Democracy" does justice to the eloquence and research displayed in Mr. Bulwer's late publication on this subject ; but condemns him too hastily for the democratic turn of his mind. We sup pose the Reviewer would have him be exclusively aristocratical in his notions. Tempered by discretion, and disciplined by commerce with mankind, the demo cratic spirit is precisely that of all others best calcu lated to win a man renown in the world's eye. Aris tocracy is selfish, and an egotist ; but cthe antagonist principle is the nurse of high thoughts and generous feelings ; it encourages' a man to go out of himself, and bear in mind, with Posthumus, that " there arc livers out of Britain." To be a Democrat, is not to be an Ultra-Radical ; but, on the contrary, to be Ca tholic instead of sectarian. The " World we Live in" furnishes us with some sagacious and pertinent remarks on the subject of conversation. The writer very properly scouts the claims of all the Joe Miller school of after-dinner anecdote-mongers. But why does he wax so wroth with " Conversation Sharpe," who, though certainly no conjuror, was yet a gentle man of well-instructed mind, agreeable powers of ' small-talk, and remarkable for the uniform affability of his address ? " The Cabinet" is a clever political jeux d'esprit, on the High Tory side of the question, of course. The " Revolt of the Tartars" is the most delightful historiette we have read for many a day. Fiction, we suspect, is mixed up with it, but not to the injury of fact ; it is merely called in to fill up a mcagre . outline. The " Barber's Supper" is a capital extravaganza ; and the biographical sketch of " Ber ryer" as amusing as anything can be, that has refer ence to a lawyer. Altogether, the Number is the best we have seen for the year. It is not all whipt-sylla bub, but blends the instructive with the purely amus ing, in a very effective manner. NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. Captain Marryat's " Phantom Ship" is the most amusing article in this Number, and bids fair, we in cline to think, to be the best tale he ever wrote. It contains more fancy and invention, if not so much humour, as " Peter Simple ;" and is more sustained in its interest than "Japhet in Search of a Father." The Captain is, perhaps, the most prolific author of his day, but has not—an auspicious sign—yet begun to repeat himself. His sketch of the mysterious pilot Schrifton, and of the death of the old miser Potts,- are, throughout, very striking. The " Gurney Papers" are clever, as usual. " Subjects for Pictures" is from the pen of Miss Landon. The first poem is too much in the Honeysuckle style : but that entitled " Alexander on the Banks of the Hydaspes" contains some im pressive thoughts. The " Poetry of Early Rising" is the most eloquent and feeling essay that its author, Cornelius Webbe, has yet written. We must give a specimen of it : There was a day when not a brick or stone of this gi gantic city of ours was seen standing in what must then have been a solitary wilderness : ere the following day had been scored down in the long account of Time, a little hut, huddled together with mud, and reeds, and piled-up stones —the foundation-house, the nut and nucleus of this greatest city of the world—stood on the northern shores of the un frequented Thames, upon whose waters then, perhaps, no other voyagers were seen floating along but the beautiful wild swan and her dusky cygnets : these having passed along, the silence and solitude of the green shores and the wild waters were unbroken for many, many days. The sun— " the beneficial sun"—passed over the dreary scene ; and not an eye turned to look upon him, and hail and bless him, and smile because he smiled. The storm swept over the waves and rushed into the forest lining its shores, and not a creature breathing human breath shrunk from its se verities. The wild gull laughed and leeped to meet the storm, and soared and sank, end circled around the melan choly scene; and not even n echo answered to its scream. The wolf visited its waters, and having drank his fill, re treated back into the sombre lepths of the wilderness, and once more hunted for his prey. Night came, and no reve rential eye was lifted up to heaven from that silent shore, unknown to man, or if known, untrodden by his foot. No voice of prayer or praise we r tup to the Eternal Throne, at the solemn coming on of the darkness of night, or at the glorious diffusion of the golden splendours of returning day. The silence there—the human silence—had never spoken or sung a syllable to God. The wild boar, and the bear, and the wolf cried to each other in savage communion, answering threat with threat. The human hum had not been heard there—the human joy—the human sigh—the human groan. The human tear had never fallen there—the hunrn heart had not shud dered and shrunk away from the hard, unfeeling touch of hu man hands : it had not sunk slowly under a sorrow with tears ; it had not shut up its griefs, or shed them inwardly in the in consolable breast where they were born. Oppressed and over laden, it had not broken in sullen silence, and " died and made no sign." The only hum heard there was that of the wild bee : the only tear that of the Summer rain ; the only moan that of the melancholy wind, wailing through the woods in Autumn ; the only sullenness that of surly Winter. Hard hearted Wealth and harder-hearted Poverty had not feared and hated each other. Insolent Pride had not trodden Humility down. Human love, pity, hope, fear, despair, famine, sick ness, sorrow, and pain had never visited that sylvan shore, and knew it not. It was a savage, solitary corner of this wide Eden the earth, with no weak Adam and frail Eve dwelling therein, to make its once-loved garden unlovely in the eyes of Heaven." " Patty Larkspur's Watch" evinces knowledge of character, and is wrought up with effect. " Some account of the Inconsolable Society," is a lively quiz on the' well-known disposition of Englishmen to ex tract sorrow front mirth, and make themselves as miserable as they possibly can. This is a habit that cannot be too much ridiculed. " Confessions of Ralph Restless" is an ingenious conception feebly executed. The " Recollections of Gtimaldi" contain some plea sant reminiscences, but the subject is made too much of. One soon gets tired of theatrical anecdotes, espe cially as not one in a thousand has the slightest pre tensions to novelty. A " Ride in the Great Western Jungle," improves as it goes on. We shall be glad to find it continued, for it is full of various matter. BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY. The preseat chapters of Oliver Twist are the best we have yet had from Boz. There is more careful finish about them, more lucid painting, more mat ter worthy to be remembered. The fawning, crafty, remorseless old Jew, with the deep meanings hid under his smooth smile and honied expres sion, is drawn consummate ability. In this porttait Boz shows that he can pierce beyond the stirfaCei and tz , rtreli and drag into light the most fti i t lied Mystelies of the lino-:n heart. The scene where the jetc elikoVets that Oliver, whom he had 111'6.p : 41'0d asleep, has been li7tniiug to his whispered suii!c,cliii~s, fa teal as that famoug ;scene between Jeanie Deans and the rotiliefl in Scott's " Heart of Mid Lothian."

''What Toni P,iriLi lie did not kilow what to with himself" conveys a useful iiiqt.7l, ihich if no: oftt_li the case with Magazine tales. Tom is d Imin with abundant leisure on his hawk ; he is, con sequc-ntly, apt to stiffer from ennui ; by way of divert ' ink; which ! he hastens—as a inittcr of course' to fee! in love. Beginning in joke he ends in earnest; mar ries a poor but amiable girl ; and having thus a some thing on which to fix his affections, and an example to copy from, never again knows what it is to fall ennui. Ilow many Toni Binkses are there in the world who have been indebted to a si:nilar remedy for the cure of a similar malady ! The description of Tom when labouring under the severe visitation of having nothing to do, previously of course to his in troduction to his " sweet-heart," is so skilfully finished off, that we feel our readers will thank us for extracting it :- 4. What heroic resolves he then made I What a noble con tempt for this world he then exhibited as he resolutely eyed the pistol, curiously scanned its silver mounting, saw that the powder was in the pan, looked anxiously around to see that none intruded, or should deprive him of the honour of falling by his own hand : still he hesitated ; he lifted the deadly wea pon with one hand, and with the other a volume of Shak speare, which opened at the play of Handel, and by the hasty glance which he threw on it, he perceived that ' the Eternal had set his canon 'gainst gelf.!lattgliter,' and Binks was per plexed. It became now a matter not So much of life and death as of simple calculation ; on one side there was a pistol for, and on the other a canon 'gainst self-slaughter. In this state of indecision, thus sorely beset with adverse arguments, what did Binks do? Why, he acted somewhat like a sensible man ; he yielded to the heavier weight of metal—the great gun Shakspeare carried it; and he consented to live, drew the charge, lest he should return to it (for he knew his man), and made up his mind that Shakspeare was a sensible fellow. Have you ever felt as if your very heart-strings were tugged at by wild horses, when the infernal host of blues, marshalled by the devil himself, have taken the field against your peace, and that you don't know what to do with yourself?. ' Throw but a stone, the giant dies.' Very good; but a pebble of such potency is not always at hand, particularly in a drawing-room. Do something, no matter what : go into the open air ; there's your window in vitingly open, and, provided it is not too far from the ground, 'tis but a step in advance to the shock that may rouse you. Turn financier—chancellor of your own exchequer; there's, your tailor's bill lying on the table, wooing you to analyze its soft items; give it a first reading, and pass it. What a relief, on such occasions, is the presence of any living creature your sleek tabby—no—that fellow doesn't know what to do with himself neither. Your playful little Italian greyhound, whose playfulness is the very poetry of motion. And Binks found no relief in these gentle appliances. There he lies, flung upon his ottoman, and dallying with its downy cushions, with his foot of almost feminine symmetry coquetting with his morocco slipper, jerking it off and on according to the intensity of the fit. Ponto stands before him. Noble dog, Ponto I He, too, has his turn at the slipper, and seizes it in his huge mouth, and gambols round the room with it, and now crouches with it be fore his master, and earnestly looks at him, and those two eyes of his suggest a double barrelled gun, and this puts a pis tol into his head, and there it was at hand, lying on the table, just ready for a charge." the " Foster Child" contains more than one pas sage of sweet and, unaffected pathos. The writer seems to have had Sterne in his eye. A " Lyric for Lovers" is a clever allegorical little poem, very much in the manner of Moore's " Statuary" in the National Melodies. The versification is lively and elegant. " Re mains of Hajji Baba" are not so good as they have been. " Shakspeare Papers" by Dr. Maginn, is an analysis of the character of Romeo. It is ingenious, but not equal to his Jaques. The writer has not been sufficiently warmed by his subject ; he treats it too coldly—too much in the mere spirit of a commentator. The concluding reflections are the best, for they are characterized by that best of eloquence—truth. We shall be anxious to see what the Doctor makes of Hamlet, who has puzzled so many sage authorities. We are sure he will beat Hazlitt here, for he will be less fantastic, consequently more intelligible. A " Ma rine's Courtship" is told in an easy, good-humoured manner ; and the " Leech of Folkstone" is one of Ingoldsby's most grotesque and humorous bits of diablerie. FRASER'S MAGAZINE. Regina is Tory to the heart's core this month. She opens with a trumpet-tongued appeal to the Conserva tives ; and she concludes with a sonnet, in the very last line cf which Heaven is invoked in favour of our Most Gracious Queen's remembrance of the Protestant Creed I The confiding loyalty of this curious form of invocation is exactly on a par with the feigned de votedness of the faction of which Regina is the elo quent organ. But we must do Fraser the justice to acknowledge that no attempt is made that decency could dispense with, to conceal the chagrin—the dis may—the despair of the Tories at the present moment, owing to the unexpected accession of the reigning So vereign. " We do not either allege or admit," says the writer of the opening article, " that the power of the Crown of England has altogether vanished, or that it appertains to the Commons alone to decide, in all future times, both the policy of the empire and the hands into whose custody its interests shall be com mitted. We can easily conceive a case in which a Prince of mature age and experience, coming to the Crown in the midst of the difficulties and dilemmas in which the State is now involved, might have been able, by effecting a new combination of the leading States men of all parties, to have adopted and carried into operation a new system of policy, calming all dissensions, and avoiding all dangers. But circumstances in the pre sent case offered no such opportunity. It was not to be expected that a young lady of 18, assuming the sceptre with a necessarily trembling hand, should be able in a moment, to dictate a sudden change of policy, or to re-organize all the discordant elements which had been waging furious war for several successive years." Sigh ing for Cumberland so soon ? This speaks but indif ferently for the loyalty of the old Jacobite leaven. The Duke of Ctimberland—Heaven save the mark : calm all political dissensions in England ! Serve up to the empire a well-seasoned olla-podrida made up of the bitterest ingredients of faction ? Ridiculous. The very idea is stark staring ronscnse. " Oliver Yorke at Paris " admits us to the fellowship of the first living French poet—M. de Lamartine. The author of the Premieres Meditations Poetiques, the Ilarnzonies Poe tiques, and the Voyage en Orient, was never, we believe, distinguished for his critical acumen ; and yet our friend Oliver makes him say more good things in this way than are to be found scattered over half Sir Egerton Brydges' delightful old book of reminiscences. The portraits of Froissart, Monstrelet, Philip de Comities Brantome, La Bruycre, Montaigne, Rochefoucauld, Corneille, Racine, Moliere, Bossuet, Bourdaloue, and Thomas, though hit off by a few bold masterly strokes, are true to the life. " Rough Sketches Afloat" are as rough and racy as the clement upon which the writer exercises his pencil. But we must see more of them before pronouncing an opinion upon their merits. The " R►emembrances of a Monthly Nurse" are con tinued, in much the same strain as before. We have met with abundance of unintelligible jargon in our time, but we never met anything to match a review, or a treatise purporting to be one, of Mr. Carlyle's His tory of the French Revolution. We pity the author who has the misfortune to fall into the hands of such a critic. The " Philosophy of Party Politics" is one of the best-reasoned articles in the present Number, though the writer often sets out on false asumptione, and consequently his deductions are not always to be relied upon, even when they appear to carry the strorgest conviction to the mind. The other articles are of the usual Magazine order—alike obnoxious to .. weii-merited coinmend.ition or censure. \Ve shall con- . •‘: elude our notice with a brief epitome of the character s r of the two last Sovereigns of the H ouse o f Brunsrvickfi extracted from amt article on the " Death of his late, i‘hjestv."

He was-k: just, kind, and honest of nature ; he lost no friend in the course of a long life ;he made no enemy. His talents might not have' been of the first order ; but in business he was clear, decisive,V4 regular, and prompt. His occasional speeches were marked by a heartiness which sometimes approached to eloquence, andi k l could often claim the praise of that truly refined taste which isp . identical with bonotrable emotion. He was English in hist 4 habits and feelings, and, of all English interests, most deeply attached to that which is most English. His intentions we r e always good, his political course free from dissimulation ore, guile. No mean or angry passion disturbed his bosom. No.'' trace of such feelings was to be observed in his private life ; i n la 6 his public life we have the high testimony of the Duke ofil Wellington, who had officially, and Lord Denman, who hadt personally, insulted him, that he " bore no malice or hatred in!;, his heart." All his Ministers, varying as they do in politics,kl accorded to him the praise of justice, impartiality, and a desire' to promote the good of all. The companions of his youth dwelt upon the remembrance of the days they had passed to gether ..,., with kind affection ; that he returned the feeling is,.. proved by a hundred handsome actions, and by such memorials as his touching tribute to Sir Richard Keats. The young whop . grew up around him, and the men whom he met in the jarring:', contact of every-day life, sometimes under adverse circum— stances, looked upon him with unaffected regard. Loved and s esteemed in his own household circle, and by all parties and sections in his far-spreading empire reverenced with a personal ~ esteem that seldom falls to the lot of monarchs, William IV. hi has departed from among us full of years, to meet a tribunal ' 1 where the fame of earthly glory or genius will weigh nothing in comparison with those apparently secondary virtues which r make up the character of an honest and upright man:" T 4lrs EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.

Even is have anticipated th( substance of the article on " the Aspect of Publi, A ffairs," and the remarks on the " Irish Tithe Bill,' •r, have likewise become absolete within these few days Not so, however, the following pungent strictures 0" Saint Andrew Agnew's Sunday Starvation Bill :-- ~,-;* " The friends of Sunday legislation—those who would mak' ,:.--- vnan religious by Act of Parliament, and who prefer toner forced observance of the external ceremonies of relig 4 obedience to its internal dictates, have met with various succes, ~, all thei during the month. They have been defeated in attempts to ingraft on Railway Bills a clause prohibiting Sun. ~ day travelling. Sir Andrew Agnew has, however, carried tin ) , second reading of his Lord's Day Bill by a triumphant majo, rity of 119 to 66. It is curious how men's no tions on thi s - ~. subject vary. We, in Scotland, consider any kind of publi c conveyance travelling on Sunday, except the mail, an abomi • ,: nation, but the most strait-laced among us does not object It that ; in London, on the contrary, all other conveyances,tthecntrane, ex . F, ecpt the mail, are tolerated without difficult)", but of a mail coach into that city would be v iewed as a most sacri legions act. The hypocrisy of the Bill is shown by a singly example. The pious aristocrats are to be allowed to go to theF ti Church door, and there only, in their carriages, on Sundays; but it is never reflected, that, while the coachman returns t. .. the stables, puts up his horses, and returns to the Church, th,:: service will be over. Even if he did, by any possibility, arri% t is time to hear part of it, he must depart, long before the con.' ~ elusion, to the stables, to get out the horses, attach them to th, ;:.. • '...- carriage, and get to the Church in time to take his mastei home to his dinner before it spo ils ; for we do not find that tin aristocracy mean, in future, to dine on cold potatoes on tin.:: Sundays, to save the souls of their cooks, any more than th ey , '. , are to walk to Church, to save those of their coachmen.;;;• • What do the Saint Andrews care for the futtere welfare otf., cooks and coachmen! Another provision of the most absurd, - nature, is that to prevent vessels leaving harbour on a Sunday., We_ know a case where this provision would have delayed tin ~• voyage for six weeks—the wind having changed during tl:Cts.' ,. . night, and blown so strongly during that time, that no ve , .,75 , •i1-, could leave the harbour. To follow out the principle of ti,“' . . provisions, vessels at sea should be prevented sailing at all oi.t, Sunday—at least if within soundings ; and, even then, ni more sails should be put up than will merely prevent the vcsscl"iiV losing her proper course. Notwithstanding the great majorit, i'' 4 fw the second reading, it is well understood by all parties ti; the Bill will not pass. The Sunday frequenters of Tattersall': ,•,.. kani Crockford's thought, now that the o divisions are_ rg• published. r, that votin g for the second reading was an easy war ettlirr, a character for piety ; but they have no intention of havin, , their usual Sunday occupations interrupted ; and they knot well that, while the common informers in London would make a glorious harvest at their expense, a million of policemen, or even Peelers, as they have them in Ireland, would not enforce!! the Bill against the lower orders, for whose exclusive use its provisions are intended." i.,1 ~1 There are several other articles in Tait worthy tot% outlive the current month, with wreathes of wild sweet ITI flowers from the shadiest nooks of Parnassus.
