L ETERATURE. THE FOREIGN QUARTERLY REVIEW. LXXIL This number contains several articles of a first-rate character. Indeed we have rarely seen the Foreign Quarterly display so much ability, or furnish so many papers of general and deep interest. There are two, however, on the affairs of France that require par ticular notice—that on " Capefigue's Europe since the Accession of L ou i s Philippe, and the other on the " French Revolution," as described by Dahlmann and Niebuhr. It is to be regretted that the writer of the first has displayed so much nationality, in some instances not very impartial, that he has occasionally maligned the French, and that one of his great ob jects is to prove, what he calls " the cardinal fact," that Louis Philippe ' both before and after th e revolu tion of July, played the part of a consummate hypo crite. We are not the apologists of the King, and are ready to admit that after he mounted the throne the acts of his Government materially differed from his recorded professions, both at that period and for some short time afterwards; but still it is only fair to inquire whether be could safely have acted otherwise, and whether a man, on being convinced of the danger of carrying out certain political doctrines which he once admitted, is to be consistent at the risk, nay, with the certainty, o f comm i tt i ng greater faults or crimes. One of the principal objects of Louis Phi lippe was the maintenance of peace in Europe, and, to the wonder an d a d m i rat i on o f t h e wor ld , he has, for fifteen years, been eminently successful. Some of these professions certainly led the French to believe that the King was favourable to democratic institu• tions, and that his reign would exemplify all that was implied in the epithet "Citizen King," but even the accuser of this extraordinary man admits that the French are not adapted for democratic institutions, and that they must submit to servitude under some form 'or other till they have a national religion. " The French," says he, " perceive no absurdity in prating from time to time about democratic institutions as though it were practicable to reconcile such things with the charac ter of a people, a moiety of whom, by their own show ing, live in habitual disregard of the fundamental duties of society, With these data before him any one may foresee what is to be the future destiny of France. It must submit to servitude under some form or other until it can resolve to have a national religion ; Catholicism, if it can discover nothing better. There is no freedom without faith." An impartial writer would not have allowed the oppor tunity to escape of doing justice to Louis Philippe on both these points, He has don e more t o restore a sense of religious duty in France than ever was done by any monarch, and what ruler, nay what private individual, ever showed more regard to the " funda mental duties of society ?" If the example of a Court has any effect in encouraging morality in cherishing domestic affections and forming the cha racter of a people, Louis Philippe is surpassed by none in that respect. It is admitted by all parties— by even the most bitter enemies of the present dy nasty and of all dynasties—that his conduct in . his family is not only unexceptionable, but merits the highest praise. Religion and morality being abso lutely necessary, according to this writer, for the es tablishment of free institutions, and without which there can be nothing but servitude, the highest praise should have been bestowed on the Sovereign who is thus paving the way for good government on the very principles recommended by the person who heaps upon him abuse. Notwithstanding these de fects, however, much useful information and interest ing details are given respecting the state of France since the July revolution. It may be necessary, however, to make another remark with regard to the party who overthrew Charles X. The writer says it was the intimate friends of Louis Philippe, men with whom he was in daily and nightly habits of in tercourse, between whom and him there were no secrets, that did it all. " Few men," he adds, " knew exactly that the ordinances were coming, but most persons anticipated some foolish act of power, by which the throne would be endangered or lost ; and the probability is, that among the keenest haruspices in France, his present Majesty Louis Phillippe was the c hi e f." This only does honour to his sagacity, if the word can be applied in reference to events the effects of which were pal pable to all :careful observers. In this country, every newspaper conducted with ordinary ability prophecied what took place, and repeatedly warned the Polignac party that they were taking every pos sible step to complete the parallel between the Eng lish and French Restorations. Could a clear-headed man, like the Duke of Orleans, fail to see things in the same light ? and is any blame to be attached to him that he prepared for the consequences ? The other article alluded to, that on the French Revolution, brief though it is, contains much, and merits the highest piaise, not only for the excellent language in which the writer expresses his sentiments, but for the comprehensive views he takes of the great events and the leading men that distinguished that remarkable event. There is nothing vague, or na tional, or sectarian in his remarks; they are appa rently the candid expressions of an impartial observer, and are entirely uninfluenced by the prevailing opinions respecting the conduct of such men as Robespierre, and Mirabeau, and Brissot. We only regret that ho adverts to so few of the leading cha racters. He does full justice to Mirabeau, and even ventures to praise Robespierre ; and shows, in the fol lowing extract what alone was wanting to make the revolution produce good fruits : t's(CH EQUER.—(THIS DAY.)

An experiment will be tried next week of firing from the Excellent gunnery -ship shot and shell at an old steam funnel, to ascertain what effect the firing may have on it. The funnel will be fixed on a floating stage, and secured by chains, as in th e usual way on board steam-vessels, and placed at a regulated distance from the ship. We believe this trial has been ordered at the suggestion of Captain Chads. In an important trial, as this will be, we think a new funnel might have been granted, as it is scarcely probable an old will present such resistance, after having been weakened by wear, as one new from the foundry. The Cormorant steam-sloop, Commander Gordon, was at Callao, on the Ist of November. A private letter says —" One of our boats capsized on the 20th of October, and Dr. Thompson, the assistant-surgeon, and three seamen (Benjamin Serjeant, George Emery, and John Batten) were drowned. We had been at Callao since the Ist of August doing nothing ; the Admiral is down among the island with the Modeste and Salamander, at Otaheite, and has been there for the last twelve months. The America, 50, after leaving the Sandwich Islands, expected to go to the Columbia River; and report also says that the Admiral goes there in the Collingwood, after having been the round of the islands." The distance was accomplished in 2h. 27m. 14a., or at a rate of 26 75 miles an hour. The weight of train pro pelled, exclusive of the engine ' was 204 tons 18cwt. 'qr.. 31b. Soon after the arrival of this train at Didcot, the Ixion, a powerful passenger engine, having driving wheels 7 feet in diameter, came up with a train on 15 trucks, laden with coal, to be attached to the train of the Ileicules, making in all 28 trucks and one first class carriage. After all matters were arranged this levia thian train proceeded on its journey ; its weight, length, and the time it passed the different stations, are given from the same authority as that of the down trip : Weight, 406 tons 3 cwt. lqr. 101 b. ; length of train, 232 yards. There is much that is picturesque and touching in the description of Lord Arden's viewing his young bride through the cottage lattice : " Alone!—that worn-out word, So idly spoken, and so coldly heard;" And also in the old man's sudden death, which comes directly afterwards. Indeed, the whole of this nar rative is drawn with a delicate and tender pencil. Several blemishes of style, however, obtrude them selves here and there ; for instance where the principle character exclaims, "Mine one dark deed," &c., an affectatation in the pronoun, essentially rugged and inelegant ; and again, where he observes that " the curse of stagnor settles on the universe," an expres sion for which the author appears to have a terrible fondness. Besides these two specimens of careless ness, there is one of a meaner and yet more incor rigible nature, namely, the selection of a most inap propriate and inexpressive adjective—the lowest but least excusable fault in poetry. By this single word a very fair, though somewhat trite, metaphor is ruined : BELGIAN FUNDS.—Bat Ist , ELs, JAN. 10.

Multiply these efforts, say we, usque ad nauseam, and France will remain as incapable as ever of compre hending the daring sword-cuts and subtle allusions of Shakspere. Among the students of foreign litera ture some must always, according to the impulses of nature, entertain for him a feeling of idolatry ; but the mob, the Boileau-loving, Racine-spirited mob can never persuade themselves into anything like genuine affection for the insular poet. He is essentially too untrammelled, too vast, too universal, and too deter minate a thinker to arouse the sympathies or elicit the applause of a people notorious for the daintiness and mincing precision of their drama. Besides this the impossibility of rendering Shakspere into French couplets, and at the same time sustaining his creations in their original elevation, forms another obstacle to his popularisation in Paris : Achilles in a " taglioni " could never excite in us sentiments of awe or admira tion. What is there in the following version of Hamlet's soliloquy—however elegant, or literal, or ingenious the verson may be in itself—to fill our souls with the solemn and pathetic reverie always roused within us by the original ?

DUTCH MAIL. IRELAND. RESIGNATION OF CHIEF JUSTICE PENNEFATHER. TIIE HAGUE, JAN. B.—The bulletin of the laws publishes the following royal decree of the 7th Jan. The Rhadamanthu - s steam-troop-ship, Master Com mander Laen, is ordered from the Irish station to the Mediterranean, to join the squadron under Vice-Admiral Sir W. Parker. " We, William, The Mercantile Advertiser published the following yesterday afternoon:—' We are now enabled to an nounce that Chief Justice Pennefather has resigned. The appointments consequent on the retirement of Mr. Pennefather have not yet been fully arranged. If Mr Blackburne should be transferred to the Queen's Bench, Mr. T. B. Smith, the Attorney-General, will go to the Rolls Court, If this arrangement should not be adopted the Attorney-General will get the Chief Justiceship. In any event Mr. Greene advances to the Attorney- Generalship ; and it is said Mr. Sergeant Warren will be the new Solicitor. General, For that office other names are mentioned ; but on this point all at present is mere speculation." The most contradictory rumours are afloat as to some of the changes rendered necessary by the resignation of Mr. Pennefather. The latest version is that Mr. Smith, the Attorney-General, will get the Chief Justices hip of the Queen's Bench, the scene of his extraordinary en counter with Mr. Fitzgibbon during the state trials ; that Mr. Wilson Greene advances to the Attorney- Generalship, to be succeeded as Solicitor by Mr. Brews ter ; and that Mr. Corballis, a Roman Catholic Queen's Counsel, is to take the place of Mr. Brewster as advising counsel to the Irish Government. " Seeing the report of our Minister of Finance, and Foreign Affairs, of the Ist of January, 1846, of the duties of importation and exportation; " Considering that the Imperialßussian Government, by an ukase of the 11th of July, 1845, has decreed an augmentation of the tonnage duty on ships, under foreig❑ flags, and likewise an augmentation of 50 per cent. on the import and export duties upon goods im ported and exported in ships under foreign flags ; but that this measure regards only the ships of those nations by which the Russian flag is treated on the same foot ing as the national flag is in that of the most favoured nations; _ _ • rie LP' Dte •litag, t he in, ell, lied ' P ro!" 1- t bi 4 gort 111 0 Dies Surely this is the degeneration of grandeur into prettiness ! It is a modern dandy beside Jupiter Tonans Hence it is that we dissent from the re viewer's position, that by a repetition of such attempts as the one just quoted, we shall he " spared the hu miliating spectacle of nations shuttering their eyes to light, closing their ears to truth and knowledge, and refusing to listen to the voice of melody, if transmitted across a frontier line, or a few leagues of salt water." Until the French are more approximated to us in spirit, until their idiom possesses a closer affinity to the idiom of Albion, they cannot entertain any genuine, natural, unaffected regard for the mightiest of our national genius—William Shakspere. There is an enlightened and detailed bird's-eye view of the " Political State of Prussia" in this num ber, the gist of which is condensed in the sentence — "Royal authority is no longer an object of reverence; and the Jaws themselves, being considered in no higher light than as the expression of the royal will, are gra dually losing their salutary influence." In addition to this there are some sagacious impressions respect ing the " German Catholic Church," and a sensible commentary upon " Charles Lyell's Travels in North America." We shall, however, content oursclves with giving the subjoined estimates of the " Earls Spencer and Grey:"— " Lord Grey was a man of lofty integrity—of un blemished honour—the object of affectionate attachment to his friends—of respect and admiration to all his countrymen. He never swerved an instant from that THE AGE OF PITT' AND FOX. By the author of "Ireland and its Rulers." Vol. 1., Bvo. The subject of this work is of infinite importance, not only from its historical interest, but because it has intimate relation with the great science of Poli tics. For nearly five-and-twenty years Pitt and Fox battled for supremacy. Theirs was no common con test. The noblest and the best were arrayed on one side or on the other, for it was considered honourable to serve under such mighty leaders. They have passed away, but it was fitting that some memorial of their long struggle should exist, and the time has now arrived when the truth may be spoken of these illustrious dead without any fear of injuring the inte rests or wounding the feelings of the living. The popular and clever author of " Ireland and its Rulers" has undertaken to write an ac count of what happened in this country from the termination of the American war to the death of Charles James Fox. In other words, to sketch the political history of Great Britain and Ireland, from 1782 to 1806. During the whole of that period the Government of this country was in the hands of Pitt or Fox. Hence, a work tracing their career must give the history of public affairs. We may say, at once, that this design, although of great magnitude, is neither too large nor unmanageable for the writer before us. The first volume of his work, embracing a history of the coalition ministry, and of Pitt's administration to the close of 1784, exhi bits great industry, much eloquence considerable skill in arranging and condensing facts, and the highest impartiality in commenting upon them. Every accessible source of information appears to have been visited, and while we have greater accuracy than Wraxall possessed, we have a philosophical exa mination of the springs of action which was far be yond him. The style is remarkably free and flowing, reminding us of Lord Brougham's best manner. The author commences with the downfall of Lord North's Government, in 1782. The Rockingham Ministry succeeded, but was personally distasteful to George the Third, inasmuch as he believed that the party in office wished to make the sovereign a mere cypher—to reduce him to the nominal power of a doge—possessing the highest apparent station, and the smallest actual power. That Cabinet broke up by the death of Lord Rockingham, its nominal head. Then ensued a struggle between ox and Lord Shel burne, which ended in the defeat of Shelburne, and the well-known coalition between Lord North and Fox The Comet steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander W. Pretyman, returned on Friday from the Thames, whither she had attended the Centaur new steam-frigate to get her engines and machinery. The Conway, 26, Captain Kelly, on the Cape of Good Hope station, may be expected home in April, according to private letters received recently. It is reported that the 100 senior captains of the navy have been promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral, thus embracing those of 1808 down to those of 1813, as far as Sir Watkin Pell, inclusive. It is also stated that the following alteration has been made in the naval uniform —viz., Captains to wear the star, crown, and anchor; Commanders, crown and anchor; and Lieutenants, the anchor, on their epaulets; and all officers of wardroom rank, to wear two epaulets. r " so 0 4 4 $ - 4 0 4, 49 4 , 1 4 I 6 " Considering that Russian ships are treated in the Netherlands on the same footing as the national ves sels, as far as concerns the tonnage, port, pilot, and light house duties, that the goods imported in Russian ships do not yet enjoy the same advantages as we granted to the ships of other nations with which the Netherlands have concluded treaties of commerce; c. r it vet 3 00 4 o —100 A " Desiring, while the negotiations which have been entered into. with the Russian Government are still pending, to obviate the prejudicial effects on the flag of the Netherlands which might result from the temporary ap plication of the measures contained in the said ukase; "Seeing Art. 2. of the law of the 19th of June, 1845; "By the advice of the Councits of States, I have de creed and decree: 1 9° 0 00 0 0 0 -• 1 0° 00 0 7 1 ° I, 4° ' o p 0 P B. e 4 ch 0 " flt t° 1 !: price s s, Os; The Attorney-General being made a Judge must vacate the pocket borough if Ripon; and if Lord de Grey be consenting party, Mr. Gladstone can thus find another opening into the House of Commons. Perhaps, after all, this was one of the causes of the well-timed resignation of Chief Justice Pennefather. " Ships sailing under the P.ussian flag, which enter and depart from the port of the kingdom of the Nether lands, shall enjoy from this day the same advantages for goods which they import and export, as are granted, or shall hereafter be granted, to the most favoured nations. PROSECUTION AGAINST THE " NATION " NEWSPAPER. The Freeman's Journal says, " Notwithstanding all the counsel learned in the law whose services the Crown have an official right to command, the Attorney-Ge neral did not deem himself secure in entering upon his presecution against the Nation, without retaining Mr. Henn, Q.C., one of the principal defenders of the state traversers in the memorable trials of 1844. Mr. Duffy having been served with notice that informations had been received against him, on the same day on which they were sworn wrote by that night's post, through his solicitor, to retain Mr. Henn, who was then at Lifford, in Donegal, presiding at Quarter Sessions. Mr. Henn's reply was, that he had been already retained by the Crown ! This was sharp practice on Mr. Duffy, for the retainer to that gentleman must have been given be fore informations had been sworn. " Our Minister of Finance is charged with the axe cution of the present decree, which shall be inserted in the bulletin of the laws, and a copy transmitted to the Alinister for Foreign Affairs." VIENNA, JAN. 3.—His Majesty the Emperor Nicholas left Vienna this morning, at eight o'clock, by the rail way, to Olmutz, to return to his dominions. line of public duty which appeared to him the most direct. Office accompanied by the desertion of a friend, or the abandonment of a principle, was in his eyes in famy.* For years he confronted obloquy, and defied an adverse Court. His perceptions were too clear to allow him to adopt what was vague or obscure ; his heart was too upright to allow him to sanction what was mean or dastardly. He could not stoop to flatter a prince ; he could not play tricks to please a rabble. His public speaking reflected the character of the man. His lan guage was admirably adapted to convey his meaning, neither sinking too near the ground nor rising out of sight—clear, genuine, unadulterated English. Although no one could see Lord Grey without marking in him a certain dignity of bearing and high- bred courtesy of manner, his ordinary life was entirely without formality or pomp." " Lord Spencer was eighteen years younger than Lord Grey. His diligence was indefatigable, his sagacity quick, his judgment seldom at fault. His views were large and comprehensi ve , embracing the whole compass of improvement in our laws, our commerce, and our constitution. kli• tongue was far from eloquent ; and although his arguments were sound and comprehensive, he was so often wanting in words as to be obscure, and unable to convey adequately his meaning. But the confidence of his friends, his party, and the country, supplied all deficiencies, and gave to his few and simple expressions as much influence over his audience as had ever been obtained by the most admired eloquence of our greatest orators. He was plain in manner and in dress, but a short intercourse disclosed the scholar, the gentleman, and the statesman. " Men may differ about the wisdom of their Parlia mentary measures, or the ability of their civil adminis tration ; but the noble, exalted, stainless spirit of these two men must always be venerated as long as public virtue is admired, and the name of England has its place in history." This eulogium comes with peculiar force and appo siteness immediately upon the close of the year (1845) in which both these celebrated noblemen expired— " the one full of years, sinking gradually into the grave ; the other in the full possession of bodily vigour and mental activity, swept away by a sudden inroad of disease,"—men with great earnestness of purpose and great force of character. * How far this sentence is applicable to Lord John Russell, with reference to Lord Palmerston and the abolition of the corn-laws, upon the occasion of his late resignation, we leave it to common sense to decide.

" In this universal enthusiasm of the nation was to be found, not only the living principle of the revolution ; but the explanation of the circumstance that few of its leaders were great men, and that the greatest of them accomplished but little. The multitude was, probably, at first neither better nor worse than the mass of a popu lation might be expected to be found, when exposed to the effects of ignorance and poverty. In its excitement, t became like an intoxicated man, more fearless and forgetful of self, and at the same time more ferocious and reckles . But, the leader of an infuriated mob is almost necessarily weak or wicked. Only a blood thirsty maniac, like Murat, could keep pace with the violence of the people, without a deliberate conscious ness of guilt. The only field for great qualities was in resistance ; only Mirabeau was powerful enough to stem the current for a time, and before it had reached the height of flood, he was removed from the conflict by death. One indispensable requisite of greatness consists in a business-like instinct, which can discriminate be t ween definite practicable objects and empty systems of words. Great men would not have wasted time like the Constituent Assembly, and the Girondists, in discussing the merits of constitutions, till they had first secured the means of enforcing obedience to them. They would have provided a moving force, before they adjusted the machinery. Robespierre, almost alone, relied on the extreme revolutionary spirit as the support of his power ; but, he also was filled with impracticable dreams of a future reign of fraternity and benevolence, in which his only instrument of government, the guillo tine, should be laid aside. His method could not be last ing, and he had provided no alternative to succeed it. It is more possible, however, to attribute greatness to Robespierre than to Roland or Brissot." The history of Abelard and Heloise will be read with interest by many, but we think too much has been made of such a revolting subject. Neither of the parties display one quality useful in society. They both acted the part of hypocrites. The hero was a hard-hearted, designing, and merciless villain, hto alland the fate o f hi s v i c ti m , no t w ith s t an di ng th e pane gyricshe held n p as a heaped upon warning her by yt virtuouswriter, he women.ought cording to her own ad m i ss i on , s h e d evo t e d h erse lf to a religious life without one quality compatible with its duties ; she acted the part of a hypocrite from some wayward fancies ; and, even i n t h e most so l emn scenes of the cloister, seemed to forget every virtuous sentiment. Pope's description of her is not a whit overcharged, and he might well make her say : " Let wealth, let honour, wait the wedded dame; August her deed, and sacred be her fame; Before true passion all these views remove; Fame, wealth, and honour, what are you to love?" STATE OF THE COUNTRY. Mr. Sergeant HowLEY, chairman of Tipperary, in ad - dressing the quarter sessions grand jury, at Cashel, on Wednesday, said, "It is most gratifying to me to see so numerous and so respectable an attendance. lam glad to tell you that the cases are not very numerous nor aggravated. There are sixty cases in all, in which eighty persons are charged, but they are not of a serious nature, with the exception of one case of assault, where there was no great injury done. The use of fire-arms is on the decline. Gentlemen, take care to call the several witnesses, and do not be absent when they appear." Mr. NEWEL BARRON, chairman of the King's County, thus addressed the quarter sessions grand jury, at Philips town, on Tuesday:—"l have to congratulate you on the continuance of the peaceable and quite state of this part of the King's Country—free, I may say, from agrarian disturbance. The calendar of crime, being of a light character, requires from me but few observations. It presents only one case of petty larceny, and four for assault.

Mary Davis, nurse, said that the deceased was admitted on the 7th January. He was under the care of Dr. Babbington. On the following day (Thursday) he got out of bed and screamed violently. As he appeared deranged a strait jacket was put on. The same evening wit ness was called by a patient, who stated that something had happened to him. She went to him and found blood streaming under the waistcoat. Mr. Hill, one of the surgeons, was fetched, who discovered a wound in his throat, and a clasp knife was taken from the bed by Mr. Hill. The jacket was put on by Mr. Cooker, and deceased was fastened to the bed. Fanny Gurger, sister of Job ward, said that, shortly before the act of the de ceased, he asked to have the curtains of his bed closed. The clasp-k n if e d ecease d must h ave b roug h t w i t h him. wearing A a great p number parel of pledged were produced of the witness, that were taken out of deceased's pocket. Mr. Faxon Hicks, house stated that deceased had infli c t e d a large incision in in the throat. He died about two o' c l oc k on Friday morn ing. Harriett Brown, housekeeper to Mr. Ryan, stated that deceased had formerly been in business. That day fortnight he was taken suddenly ill, when he requested that he should be taken to this institution. His mi n d had been much affected for some time in consequence of the change in his circumstances. He was to have en tered into business with his brother o n New Year's Day, when the deed of partnership would have been signed. It is through his own folly that he became reduced. Verdict, " Temporary Insanity." 1. WO BODIES FOUND IN THE THAMES.—Yesterday morning, between eight andnine o'clock, the body of amiddle aged man was found floating in the river, off lotherhithe, by some bargemen, and was conveyed on shore to the bone house, to await a Coroner's inquest. In about an hour afterwards, another body, of a young man, was picked up in Limehouse-reach, which is supposed to be that of Mr. George Gibson, a lighterman, who fell overboard the George sand-barge, a week since, when entering the Regent's-canal. FIRE IN DRURY-LANE.—Yesterday afternoon, be tween four and five o'clock, a fire broke out in the work shop belonging to Mr. Gray, carver and gilder, No. 90, Drury-lane. It was caused by some defect in one of the flues, and when first discovered the flames had obtained hold of the bond timbers. The parish engine was early at the scene, and was got to work. The different brigade and West of England engines followed in rapid succes sion, and the firemen soon succeeded in extinguishing the fire. The damage done was inconsiderable. The mortal remains of the late lamented Earl Granville will be interred in the family mausoleum, at Trentham, Staffordshire. —the sacrifice, indeed, of principle to power. The Coalition Ministry terminated in the discomfiture of all connected with it; Fox's India Bill being the ostensible cause of the dismissal of the Ministry. Then followed the Premiership of Pitt, and the Parliamentary contest between that able and fearless Minister and the great Fox party. The course and termination of that strife is relatedwith force and clearness, and the con clusion of the volume is occupied with the very best account we have ever seen of the great victory which was gained in 1782 by the Irish Parliament—a vic tory which obtained for that Legislature the inde pendendence it required —a victory which, badly used, became as ruinous as a defeat. Mingled with the narrative are brief sketches, personal and charac teristic, of the principal Irish leaders of that time. All are brought before us—Grattan, Flood, Charle mont, Fitzgibbon, and the minor stars composing that galaxy of ability and patriotism. The mention of these sketches reminds us of the peculiar merit of this author in pen-portraiture. His sketches of eminent individuals, scattered through the volume, and illustrated with anec dotes, seem to us the best things in it. He ex cels in this, and scarcely ever names a public man without sketching him, a full length, in pen and ink. Among the personages in this portrait gallery are George the Third, the Prince of Wales, Lord Chatham and William Pitt, Lord Holland and Charles James Fox, Burke, Sheridan, Lord North, Lord Thurlow, Dundas, Lord Rockingham, Lord Townshend, Wilkes, Horne Tooke, Canning, Flood, Grattan, Lord Charlemont, Lord Avonmore, the Bishop of Derry, Lord Karnes, Adam Smith, and many more. These personal sketches give a great value to the work, and their impartiality greatly en hance it. We shall look forward with pleasurable anxiety for the other volumes. a fij'h ET h — d On erSaentudredavaoyurafedtetrno arrest between one and two o'clock, a serious cab accident occurred, by which the driver of the ca b, and numerous other persons. had a narrow escape of their lives. It appeared that a cab was passing down Waterloo-place,. at a rapid rate, when the horse took fright, and set off in a furious gallop towards the the progress of the animal, but without effect, and, dashing down the steps leading into the Park, the cab was everturnec4 and the driver thrown beneath it. At the moment there were upwards of thirty persons on the spot, who all fortu nately escaped injury, as did the sentry, who had a narrow o u f io y u o s rk CAB con ui . escape, his firelock being knocked out of his hand by one of the wheels. The horse broke away with the front part of the cab and the shafts, and galloped on through the Park, in the direction of Storey's-gate, till he arrived at the railings ending the gravel walk, against which he rushed violently, and fell, when he was secured by s ome . bystanders. The driver was extricated, having sustained only a few slight bruises. DukSeE THE NEW TIMON. A Romance of London. Part 11. Already, in our no ti ce o f th e fi rs t p o rtion of this satirical . poem, we have parti c ularised the peculiar continuationhmi e s ri c tas terseness p o a of d f city the idea, ofwfoerrai hist, sketchingerris on — ia h completenesspaipnsoc seithe c haracter.noew ses veofrop illustration, e o Tn f sh metre , n e t pa re m, present andho most ungrateful and unwelcome manner. There is an un pleasant egotism in the very first line, "London, I take thee to a poet's heart !"—an anonymous audacity which rather inclines the reader to gainsay the author's pretensions to so lofty a title : and where he afterwards utters the vaunting ejaculation, " Me life hath skill'd !" our distaste is even redoubled. But what we more peculiarly object to in this seco n d p ar t of the "New Timon" is a very sickly and ungenerous attack upon Alfred Tennyson. Alfred Tennyson ! "Palace rnpei i tzslitanregoen. og.fl strongly i n , ~ the most true, the most genuine, the most spontaneous of the poets of the day ;—Alfred Tennyson ! the veritable and acknowledged representative of our young bards. No more delicate or delicious verse has issued from the press of late years than . his " Sleeping Beauty ;" no more original conception than his " Lotos Eaters." In venting his spleen, or possibly his jealousy, upon a mind so sensitive and charming as Tennyson's, the author of the " Modern Timon" has acted without either delicacy or judgment : .h . e has acted without delicacy in thus arrogantly raising his pretensions to popularity, while he endeavours to crush one of the most subtle-minded and gentle-hearted of his contem poraries ; he has acted without judgment in selecting'' as a target for his ridicule perhaps the most excellent of Tennyson's productions, "Mariana. in the Molded Grange"—a piece which for its desolate and artless beauty is enshrined among our ballad literature. As for his creative power, what can be mo sp re iri n t e a w m a o n n d g e h x i - s quisite than his " Miller's Daughter . ?" As for his to that pur poseattempts fellow-men, to whatpropa than his picture of nh t d h u e irfin . or that noble curiosity about "St. Simeon . Stilytes," c g a a n te te a in INshich he displays the dark and God-despised folly of fanati cism ? As to his delvings into the human heart, what can be more truthful or penetrant than his lamenta tion of " Oriana ?" Before the writer of this " Ro mance of London" descends to pen a sarcasm on the golden intellect of Alfred Tennyson, he should show, what he has never yet shown, that one entire canto of his composition is of equal value with a single stanza of Tennyson's. Authors, but particularly poets, are so seldom the rec ipients of any p ecun i ary recompense for their genius in this country, that a direct remonstrance with the Government upon a trifling pension to a man like the one i n question, is THE EDINBURGH REVIEW, No. CLXVII, Already, in another department of The Sun, we have discussed the particular merits and demerits of decidedly the most sensible, the most valuable, and the most sagacious review in this number of the Edinburgh, relating to " Legislation for the Working Classes." And we have there specified the several inaccuracies which tarnish what would otherwise altbtd h oohneo a nayel v egitl e oalenr b t e e e ds n tis a very candid exposition of a very compli cated theme. The reviewer indeed takes a capacious survey of the measures by which English statesmen have endeavoured to assuage that thirst for better things with which the populace have been so harassed ever since the abolition of, feudalism ; still there is an ostensible obliquity in his vision—the obliquity arising rather from the medium through which he gazes than from any inherent propensity to misrepresent. The medium in question is evidently a straggling, insufficient, and desultory book-reading. It is from this blemish—this spattering about of odd and incongruous facts—in the article particularised, that we turn with more relish to the other topics. A pleasant and rapid glance is taken at the gradual insinuation of Shakspere upon French popularity in the paper christened " Shakspere in Paris." This insinuation of genius upon the mind and heart of a nation has been advancing, though in sluggish and spasmodic jerks, ever since Voltaire endeavoured to disabuse his countrymen of the notion that our mightiest of poets was a sort of literary monstrosity-- a barbarian jangling the harp of Apollo without any knowledge of his art, with accidental chords of rugged glory assertedt nlho influentialor uyp discords.gu and critic, nri dci more tNlitytcb;eetb, frequently wgahtechoeakeweientuedhsvM.eboorfy: Guastnluhhlt i weiszl hiskoi tlBtahpBci predecessors nc2 rro h iet a ddh r wwea s a harsh and ecsr syeest a eohn n aori d orssf t c h u e s discussed, point, that but n no thatone an retained other ? n o d hardihood r question hnd arisen, a question as. to dramatic system of Shakspere was not - , better than that of Voltaire."

It was made by him in London jest twelve months before his death, and entirely in his own handwriting, witnessed by Messrs. T. S. Cocks, jun., and C. Biddulph, of Charing-cross, by which he has left his property, real and personal—the latter, valued at 35,0001.—t0 his brother Willoughby, now Sir Willoughby Jones, Bart., subject to the payment of the following annui ties and bequests :—To T. A. Jones, a cousin of his late father, 401. per annum. To Mrs. Margaret Coote, 20/. per annum. To his uncle, E. B. Lawrence, the print of Bolton Abbey, and 50/. to purchase a more lasting memorial of his regard. He appointed his brother, the present baronet, sole executer, who will inherit the estate of Cramer Hall, Norfolk, the deceased's late residence. The deceased baronet was in his 29th year; and whilst travelling in Turkey, in company, on the 7th Novem ber last, in the middle of the day, was waylaid and mur dered by robbers. When near Dullamarry, a short distance from Macri, on passing a rock, a discharge of musketry in their rear from this banditti, who were concealed in crevices, killed Sir Lawrence and one other of his party, six in num ber, and seriously wounded his friend, Captain Twopenny , who fell from his horse from loss of blood.

So much for the change of men's opinions in the favour of the free-trade question.—Leeds Mercury. Lord F. Egerton's youngest son, Mr. Granville Egerton, will shortly enter the Royal Navy. The King of Hanover has been slightly indisposed, in consequence of which the annual New Year's-day Ball at the Palace was postponed. The Crown Prince is so far recovered from the recent operation he has under gone as to be enabled to take his usual exercise ; but his Royal Highness has not yet quitted the royal residence. A very serious accident occurred last week to J. Jones, jun., Esq., the heir of Llanarth. While on a hunting party at Tredegar- park, with Sir Charles Morgan, he attempted to take his horse over a hurdle gate, when the animal unfortunately struck the gate with his knees, and came with the rider to the ground. Mr. Jones's head sunk considerably in the mud, and his life was for a considerable time despaired of, but with the aid of Mr. Liston, of London, and other eminent surgeons, he was so far restored, that a favourable termination was expected.

GLOVER — On Thursday last the above popul ar actress attained the anniversary of the sixty-sixth year of her age, on which occasion all the members of the Haymarket company assembled, by Mr. 'Webster's request, in the green.ioem of the theatre, for the purpose of drinking a glass of wine to the health of the " Mother of the Stage." Mr. Web ster then proposed the lady's health in an appropriate and feeling terms, alluding to her long and honourable career on the stage, and pointing to her as an example of artistic excellence worthy of being imitated by the younger mem b ers o f the profession in their struggles for theatrical fame. At the conclusion of his address a very handsome silver tankard was produced, which Mr. Webster presented to Mrs. Glover, with renewed wishes for her health and prosperity, in which he was heartily joined by every individual present. The recipient of the unexpected gift, being taken by surprise, was much over come by her feelings ; she, however, expressed her thanks briefly, but warmly ; after which the tankard was filled and sent round for inspection and examina tion of its workmanship and contents. The following inscription was engraven upon the tankard :—" Pre sented to Mrs. Glover, the Mother of the Stage, on her attaining her 66th year, Bth January, 1846, by her de voted admirer, Benjamin Webster, lessee of the Hay market Theatre." INCOME TAX.—The utmost annoyance has been experienced by sharebrokers and other parties in this town, during the last fortnight, in having to appear before the Pro perty-tax Commissioners, and spend a great deal of time in replying to the surcharges of the officials. We understand the sharebrokers are grossly overrated, some being set down as hav ing incomes of 20,000/. a year, and similar exaggerations and calculations are made in reference to other tradesmen. In nearly every case where these monstrous overcharges have been made, the party appealing has maintained his ground. The odiousness of the income-tax has been strikingly exhibited within the last few weeks by the arbitrary exactions attempted to be made. Overcharges have been made by wholesale without any reason whatever ; and the parti e s overcharged have been exposed to an inquisition of their whole concerns.—Leed Mercury. tlb in We hear, from a friend in the enemy ' s c am p , R. ee Lord A.
