In? : With the exception of the strange, whining tirade against Municipal Reform, of which we made men tion in The Sun of Saturday, the articles in this Num ber are of a very readable character. The first is on Captain Ross's lately published " Voyage of Disco very to the North Pole," and shows much acuteness of observation, though its tone is somewhat too bitter and caustic. The Reviewer is resolute in his rejection of the Captain's claims to accuracy in his narrative, and accuses him pretty broadly of shifting mountain ranges from one position to another, just as suits his Caprice. But indeed the whole article is marked by a strong f ee li ng o f an i mosity against Ross, and an equally strong bias in favour of Parry, which will of course lead to a wordy warfare between the par ties. In point of details, it is very agreeably written, and the extracts are selected with all that rare felicity which characterizes Mr. Barrow's Papers in the Quar terly. in the notice of " Mrs. Butler's Journal," the caprices and eccentricities of this young lady are ex posed with no sparing hand. Her work is allowed high praise on the score of ability, but is pronounced defective in taste, discretion, and correctness. From the extracts we have read from it, we incline to the same opinion. We saw in them much flippancy, not a little malice, and a dogmatism of manner, singularly offensive in one, who, as an actress, never soared above cleverness, and as an authoress is merely of a third or fourth- l at e grade. Mrs. Butler should be told that it is not for her to speak slightingly of the intellect of Dr. Johnson. If he was a " fool"—a " dense, fat, - old fool," is her choice expression —what must she be? Again, the less she says against the public Press the better, for but for that same Press, she would have nre mained in utter obscurity all her life. Her's was not the though, weggenius to make head against every obstacle ; apprehend, she is at issue with us on this point, every cavalier and supercilious remark i n h er "Journal" b e i ng tossed off with the air of one who considers herself a literary phenomenon. She throws them to the public, just as if she were throwing pearls before swine ; which is a pity, for her pearls are not real, but counterfeit. As, however, she is yet but young, She may in time amend, in her capacity of authoress ; - an d we shall gladly hail the change, which must ne cessarily be for the better, inasmuch as it cannot pos sibly be for the worse. " The Last Essays of Elia" is the production of one who was well acquainted with Lamb, not merely as a writer, but as a man. The criticism 18 in the acutest and kindliest spirit ; indeed we think it errs f rom excess o f pra i se, f or h owever lep er he may have been, C. Lamb was by no means le one of th e first-rates of his age. As for his poetry, t hose read it who can. We ourselves have twice "de the attempt, and failed, though with every dispo sition not to be daunted by trifles. Where we look for f ancy __, we • are put off with conceits, as i n the be iaud " Far ewe ll t o T o b acco " w hi c h i s f u ll o f qua i nt, f eet . ehed a ll us i ons , an d w h ere t h roug h out, t h e verse eit her halts, or jogs labouring on like a spavined hack, If Lamb reach posterity, it will not be by his verse, but his prose. As the author of Elia," and the exqui site criticisms on Lear and Hogarth, and more espe cially the resurrection-man of the Elizabethan Dra rnatists, he will be honourably remembered, loi.g after this: Album V erse s" have gone to their last home at he t unkmak er ' s . Of late, however, we have had something too much of Lamb. A host of injudicious fri en d s have prod i been endeavouring to cry him up as a s ensitive gy----a spec i es o f a d u l at i on w hi c h h i s modest and nature, could he have been forewarned of it, would have shrunk from with loathing. But thus it always has . been, and always will be, in Literature. No sooner does an author of any standing in the coteries, • die, than a whole shoal of the smallest possible Bos wells, with pretensions invisible to the naked eye, fasten with remorseless avidity on every scrap and frag ment of his s a yi ngs an d doings. W e h ave him in front and in profile, in half-length and full-length, from the crown of his hat to the sole of his shoe. His very defects are turned into beauties. We are assured that his stammering imparted surprizing pungency to his . wit ; that his habit .of blurting out untenable para doxes, ev id ence d s i ngu l ar or i g i na li ty ; t h at if lie dressed as no one else thought of dressing, it was from a generous love of antiquity ; that if he shook his bead, or picked his teeth, it was from s ome hidden motive, to be appreciated only by kindred souls ; and that if he saw more picturesque beauty in a dingy, rotten old London building, than in the finest scenes of the North, it was from no deficiency of taste, b ut from that "subtle, delicate principle of association," to which all superior minds are disposed. In this ab- • surd way the cry is kept up for weeks, perhaps months, till at length the panegyrists get as sick as the Public, of their clamour ; reason resumes her rights ; and the subject of all this posthumous flattery takes bps prope r station among the ranks of those who have instructed or amused mankind. When Leigh Hunt d ics---and may he live and write on to eternity !—we c an imagine the immense number of fawns and syV ss that the imitators, not of the merits, but the failings, of this kindly-natured and eminent author, will con jure up from the rural shades of the Regent's Park to W eep over his ashes. The Han - woad daffodils will be put in deep mourning ; the ponds will overflow with the tears of the elves ; and periodical literature will rin g with the sorrows of Cock a yn e f o r at least 86 ( months. We make these remarks from no dis paraging feeling, towaras Mr. Hunt—whose "Indicator" and " Feast of Poets," are among the brightest lite rary gem s of the day—but solely for the purpose of ridi cu.hog th at senseless officiousness of friendship which wlll not allow the ashes of a great man to slumber i n peac e .

The expediency of diffusing political and moral in struction among all classes of the people, and the means by which the diffusion of such instruction may he most effectually retarded, are subjects which now engross some portion of the attention of every Govern ment in Europe. The conflict is not one of opinion, but of interest. Evil doers have always preferred darkness to light, for no man chooses the sun for a companion when his back is burthened with his neighbour's property. The glimmer of a lamp is then too much for him ; and if he exhibits no terror when a lonely watchman holds up a lantern to his countenance, it is because he is conscious of strength to knock him down, if he attempt to impede his progress, or insinuate aught reflecting upon his integrity. "If the peasant knew the luxurious, indo lent, useless life I lead," internally exclaims the Peer, " if he were aware that, instead of devoting myself to the study of the principles of legislation, my days are spent in the stable and the kennel, and my nights at routs, revelries, and debaucheries, the very idea of which would fill his unsophisticated mind with horror, is it to be expected that he would look up to me with awe and reverence, as a kind of superior being, whom he is bound by his religion to respect, honour, and obey ? Did he but know the way in which my an cestors obtained their estates, and the tenure by which I hold them, is it not to be feared that he might think himself justified in withholding my rents, more espe cially as he would then have learned the infamous purposes to which I very often apply them ? Might he not take it into his head that his children were of more importance to society than my horses and hounds, and that my lady would be more creditably employed in feeding and instructing destitute Orphans of her own. sex and species, than in educating parrots, and keep ing a troop of pampered domestics to wait upon lap dogs ? Might he not be tempted to question the jus tice of claims by which a system is maintained which devotes horses, carriages, and liveried attendants to the service of dogs, parrots, and monkeys, while the living images of the God of nature—the producers of all wealth and luxury —arc spurned and condemned— plundered in health and starved in sickness ? lam confident education would produce such an effect, were it extended to the serfs of the soil ; and, therefore, I maintain the people are better, because more contented as they are. Let them imitate us by treading in the footsteps of their forefathers. It is enough for them to know their catechism and their prayers, which are sure passports to the only world in whose affairs they ought to be allowed to take any interest." This is in short the sum and substance of all that has ever been urged against the education of the labouring classes. The Aristocracy are apprehensive that the co-existence of political knowledge and political abuses is impossi ble. Did the abuses affect their interests, they would be among the first to advocate general instruction ; but as they merely oppress the people for the benefit of the privileged classes, then they are up in arms to prevent the scales from dropping from the eyes of the deluded multitude. In the very few cases in which the opponents of popular instruction are actuated by principle, it is strange the miserably distorted view which they take of this question. They fear that the people, if edu cated, would not yield obedience to the laws, and yet they arc very frequently living evidences of the fallacy of all such fears. In their whole intercourse with society, they evince their disbelief in their own doc trine, by placing every reliance upon the good faith, honesty, industry, and integrity of the more educated, to the exclusion of those who have no such internal monitor to direct them either for good or evil. The higher aristocracy are perhaps ten times more raised above them than they arc above the common labourer, and yet they, though educated, never think of insti tuting a scramble for property, or invading the legal right of those above them. They also seem not to be aware, that a system of universal education would produce almost as beneficial an effect upon the ha bits of the very highest classes, as it would upon those of the lowest ; for knowledge in the people would command a conciliatory and humane bearing in the aristocracy. This is a truth with which, to some ex tent, every great man must be familiar. The greatest tyrant in a state would find himself obliged to bear himself very differently in the presence of a scholar, from what he would in that of a mere serf, ignorant of the first sentiments of political knowledge. All ap peals would be made to the reason of mankind, instead of being directed to their prejudices and passions, as is now, and must be the case, as long as the working population are denied the means of obtaining an edu cation which shall comprehend a familiar acquaintance with the laws and constitution of the country. In ti'e promotion of popular instruction, the second mo'.3t active state in Europe is France since the Revo lution of 1830. The system of national education adopted in that country is the subject of the opening able and lucid article in Cochrane's Review, the writer of which takes a most masterly and comprehensive view of the whole question. We confess that before reading the extracts from Guizot, the French Minis ter's Report, which arc given in this paper, we had a very imperfect idea of the zeal, clear-sightedness, and Statesman-like comprehensibility with which the pre sent Government of France has propounded its plans for the general education of the working people. The French Minister has kept two great objects in view— principle and practicability. The Government sets out with the felicitous announcement, that " a country which will be free must be enlightened, or its best feel ings become a source of peril to it ; and its rights sur passing its knowledge, it is to be feared that it will err even in the lawful exercise of them." After this ge neral proposition, it strews that in the case of France, where the power of the Government rests upon the publicity and universal discussion of its acts, the edu cation of the people is a solemn duty, which even self-preservation renders imperative upon the higher authorities. To effect this, the Minister proposes to elevate the character of schoolmasters by dignifying the profession and declaring it a branch of the public service ; and likewise by throwing such obstacles in the way of entering upon it, that none but men of talent, industry, and high moral character, shall have the privilege of opening schools. He further pro poses that the salary to be paid to each master shall be fixed, and that where the sum cannot be raised from the scholars, the surplus shall be paid out of the public treasury. The details of M. Guizot's system are highly curious, instructive, and interesting ; but we have not space to enter upon them. The most important part is what relates to the government of the schools, the mode of instruction in the infant and normal establishments, the regulations for preventing sectarian animosities, and the kind of books which ought to be put into the hands of the children ac cording to their several ages and capacities. Greatly as we have.bcen disgusted with the conduct of Louis Philippe since his accession to the throne of France— decply as we deplore the infatuation •of his Govern ment in pursuing with unrelenting severity the un happy prisoners of April—yet we must admit, that as far as regards education, the French Cabinet has evinced a wisdom, a firmness, and an integrity, unequalled in revolutionary annals. Neither is this the result of ignorance or misapprehension. The French Government is itself the first to declare that the co-existence of knowledge in the people, and cor ruption hi their rttlers, is inipossihic dila it insi s t s upon educating the rapid ill order to constitute them the powerful gurifdiatis mid protectors df their own li berties. Unild estionably there is great integrity, and great trustworthiness in choosing the elevated position which the French Government has had the firmness to take upon this vital question. Perhaps some public-spirited advocate of popular instruction will undertake the publication of M. Gui zot's Reports upon Education, in a form accessible to the reading public of England. Whosoever accom plishes this will render a valuable service to his coun try at the present moment. " Madrid, in 1834,"—a Review of an unpublished work—is the next most generally interesting paper in this Number. Travellers about to sojourn in that Metropolis, will do well to arm themselves with it before setting out. The description of the inns and lodging houses has more the appearance of a delicious morsel of Oriental romance, than a representation of an ex isting state of society in any part of Europe. Th e account of the way in which the Government conducts its affairs is still more curious and interesting. If tke work be equal, as a whole, to the extracts here given from it, no book published for many yoars will be more deservedly popular. The " Courts of Love in the Middle Ages" is an article which would have gladdened the heart of Sir Walter Scott. The subject is not only novel, but absolutely unknown to a very large class of readers. The author controverts an opinion expressed by Scott in a note to his Anne of Geierstein, in which he speaks of the " Parliament of Love" as a Court formally established by, and composed of, Troubadours, and making a part and parcel of the system of chivalry. The whole paper is ingenious, and, from the mass of evidence collected, will serve to direct other inquirers. " Quinces Ahasuerus" is nothing more than a mise rable imitation of Goethe's Faust—a disgusting mass of of blasphemy, bombast, common-place, and sheer non sense. How such a poem could have electrified France, we cannot for the life of us understand ; but we venture to say that there are not five hundred people in England who would voluntarily read it twice. The chorusses are endurable, although' many of the sentiments are highly preposterous. Lord Brougham himself would fail to draw materials for an instructive and agreeable review from such a source. The Re viewer's only error consists in his choice of a subject. He has tact and talent in abundance. We pass over several very clever papers in this Number, which we have not space to notice. It abounds in good writing, in judicious criticisms, and in liberal sentiments. If conducted with care, and with the talent which now marks its pages, Cochrane's Foreign Quarterly Review will rank high among the class of periodicals with which it deservedly claims fellowship. ERNEST CAMPBELL. IJY JOIIN AINSLIE, ESQ., Author of " Aurungzebe." In Three Volumes. Cochrane and Co. 1835. This novel would be more highly prized than it is likely to be, had the author chosen a period, scenes, characters, and incidents which would have saved the reader the no agreeable task of instituting momentary comparisons between some parts of his story and the tale of Waverley. The severer class of critics will not scruple to insinuate that " Ernest Campbell," is an imitation of " Waverly," occasionally interlined with passages from Scott's other tales ; while the positively ill-natured will describe it as a mere caricature. We are willing to believe that Mr. Ainslie was not himself aware of how closely he followed in the wake of his great prototype, and that admiration of Scott had more to do with the thoughts which he embodied, and the characters which he endeavoured to paint, than any design of appropriating to himself the literary labours of others. At a first glance it certainly appears as if Ernest Campbell, the hero of this story was drawn from young Waverley, Mr. Berkley from the Laird of Bradwardine, and that Emily Berkley exhibited the distinguishin g traits in the characters of Rose Bradwardine and Flora M'lvor. But this im pression gradually wears away as the plot thickens, and we rise from the perusal of the tale with a very favourable opinion of the author's talents and dis cernment. The reflections which sometimes occur are both interesting and striking. Many of them wear the appearance of novelty from the agreeable garb in which they arc clothed. The most unique, as well as the most original character in the tale, is Miss Turnbull—Nell Nimmo we take to be the author's favourite, but assuredly she is not our's. The death of Crighton loses much of its effect by the manner in which its perpetration is represented. Here a fine scene is lost—a scene which Scott would have ren dered only inferior to the dungeon-scene in the stormed castle in " Ivanhoe." The talc, however, with all these drawbacks, has much to recommend it, being really superior to four-fifths of the novels published during the season. Nor would we be so hard upon the author, were we not confident that he is capable of better things, and that we are likely to have many opportunities of being reconciled with him, should he take offence at any observation which has fallen from us in the course of this brief notice. An INQUIRY into the NATURE and CAUSES of the WEALTH of NATIONS. BY ADAM SMITH, LL.D. With a Commentary by the Author of "England and America." In Six Volumes.— ►col. I. Charles Knight, Pall-mall. 1835. This is a reprint of a very useful and popular work, under the superintendence, we presume, of the Society for Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. The publication is by monthly volumes to be issued with the magazines; price five shillings each. We have examined the commentary prefixed to the present edition of Smith's " Wealth of Nations," and highly approve of it. The publication is well-timed in every respect, and the issue by monthly volumes, the best plan that could be adopted. Those who would understand the principles of political economy must study Smith's Wealth of Nations. PARSON'S DAUGBTER. 1 Vol. Bentley. London. 1835. This tale forms the 46th volume of the Standard Novels, and is one. of its author's best. There are no characters in any of the series of Sayings and Doings, superior, if equal, to Mr. Hook's sketch of the brutal fox-hunting squire, Harbottle. In truth and vigour, it may almost vie with Fielding's Squire Western. We arc glad to see such a tale republished. HISTORY OF ENGLAND.—VoI. 16. Valpy. London. 1835. The volume before us details the political events that took place in England from the year 1778 to the year 1785 ; and does credit to Mr. Hughes's impartiality and discrimination. The embellishments affixed to the number, are neither better nor worse than the average run of such illustrations. REISENDIMAN MASTER. A. Richter. London. 1835.

After dinner her Majesty's chamber musicians per formed several favourite overtures and other concerted pieces in the music-room. This afternoon the whole of the Royal party enjoyed some hours' exercise in the Great Park, during which they visited some of the most beautiful parts of it. The Queen was ac companied in her phaeton by the Duchess of Gloucester. Jn the poney barouche, which followed, were the Duchess and Princess of Saxe-Weimar, and the Duchess and Princess Au gusta of Cambridge. The King paid a visit to his Royal sisters, at Frogmore, in the course of his drive. It was stated by mistake that there was to have been a grand dinner at St. James's on Wednesday last ; it is on Wednesday next, the 22d inst., on which day their Majesties are expected to go to town for a few days. On Thursday, the 23d instant, their Majesties will honour with their pre sence the fete cliampetre to be given by the Earl and Countess of Mansfield, at their beautiful villa, Caen Wood, Hampstead. Lord Elphinstone has been despatched to the Hague, to invite the King of Wurtemberg and his two lovely daughters, the Princesses Mary and Catherine to visit their Majesties. The present Queen of Wurtemberg, mother-in-law to those Princesses, is staying at Gaggenau, in the Grand Duchy of Baden, for the benefit of the mineral waters of that place. COURT CIRCULAR. The Princess Augusta has been indisposed at Frogmore Lodge, but is better. The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria drove in the Parks yesterday morning. The Earl of Gosford, the Right Hon. Sir Charles Grey, and Captain Gipps, his Majesty's Commissioners for the Affairs of Canada, were occupied yesterday several hours with Lord Glenelg at the Colonial-office, and took leave of his Lordship on their departure for Canada.

On Thursday next a grand entertainment will be given to their Majesties by Lord Mansfield, at his splenlid ;mansion at Caen Wood, Hampstead. The inhabitants of Hampstead, as soon as the circumstance was known, held a meeting at the Castle Tavern, when it was unanimously re solved that a triumphal arch should be erected across the road, in honour of the Royal visit. Ti f meeting at the Duke of Wellington's house, on Thursday, consisted, as we are told, of about eighty Peers. His Grace did not, we believe, state the course which he meant to follow when the Corporation and Irish Church Bills become the subject of discussion in the House of Lords, his object merely being to impress on his supporters in that House the necessity of their remaining in town, on account of the impor tance of the measures to be submitted to them. Among the Noblemen who assembled on Wednes day morning, at Apsloy House, were the Duke of Newcastle, the Marquis of Londonderry, Lords Wharncliffc, Lyndhurst, Mansfield, Rbsslyn, and other Conservative noblemen, be sides Sir Robert Peel and other Commoners, who remained in deliberation some time. CONSECRATION.—Yesterday morning a new Cha pel of Ease to St. Mary's Church, Islington, situate in River lane, Lower•road, to be called St. Peter's Chapel (which is affording accommodation to between 1,000 and 1,100 per sons) was consecrated by the Bishop of. London. His Lord ship afterwards preached an able and appropriate sermon. The chapel was crowded to repletion, and at the cud of the ser vice a collection was made at the doors, which realised the sum of 68/. The Rev. G. B. Paley, 8.D., has been presented by the Master and Fellows of Peter House, Cambridge, to the rectory and vicarage of Freckenham, Suffolk, vacant by the death of the Rev. S. Tillbrook. Napoleon said one day, speaking of a man who all his life long was unlucky, " Had he fallen on his back, I ve rily believe he would have broken his nose." On Thursday two gentlemen, who had engaged for a wager to swim across the Serpenti ne , b ecame exhausted' when they arrived in the middle, and sank, and had it not been for the prompt assistance of the Humane Society's men, they would have been both drowned. It was stated that they had been out during the night with four other friends, who wit nessed the scene from the banks of the river, and were in a state of intoxication at the time. Kean once played Young Norval to Mrs. Siddons's Lady Randolph ; after the play, as Kean used to relate, Mrs. Siddons cane to him, and patting him on the _head, said, " You have played very well, Sir, very well. It's a pity—but there's too little of you to do anything."— The Mirror. TI•IE RACES.--The St. Leger will be extremely in teresting, not only from the circumstance that those hprscs that have run well in the South will be again brought against their Northern -competitors i but from the large tmr4 . ber of Wrsea. that are now in training for this great and popular race. The s&it mill be very numerous, partly from the new arrange dWatding a' ptitt. to the second horse. The decision of several other prizei; will be also extremely interesting, from the number as well a 5 the qtly of the respective horses. The Cup prize too, this year, will excite' great interest, and its value will be unusually great.—DoneeSiff Gazette.

LORD BROUGHAM'S VISIT TO LI VERMOL.— The public dinner to be given to Lord Brougham will take place at the Royal Amphitheatre on Monday next at 6 o'clock, when a numerous assemblage of our townsmen, and of gen tlemen from the country is anticipated. It is intended to give Lord Brougham the meeting at the Railway in Crown street, for the purpose of escorting his Lordship to the ground in Mount-street, where tho ceremony of laying the first stone will take place. No party colours arc to be introduced.— Liverpool Mercury. STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT.—The Jury returned a verdict of accidental death, at the inquest which - was held on the body of Mr. William Cumberland, who was unfortunately drowned by the boat in which he was sailing coming in contact with the Red Rover, a Herne Bay steamer, which was pro ceeding up the Pool at the slow rate of four miles an hour. DECREASE OF CRIME.—We understand that there are not at present above half a dozen cases of felony from the West Riding for trial at the approaching Yorkshire As sizes, which commence on Saturday next, and that instead of the prosecutions from this Riding costing nearly 3,0001., as at the last Assizes, it is not likely that at this Assize they will cost more than 3001.—Sheffield Independent. Many persons are of opinion that nothing short of preventing steamers from coming higher up the river than Blackwall will put a stop to the disasters they are now so continually producing. James Nisbet, aged 62, a mechanic in a cotton fac tory, has put an end to his existence by taking laudanum.— Stockpd:rt Advertiser. Pooß LAws.—An important meeting on this sub ject was held on Saturday in Tipperary. The facts that were there stated possess a vainful interest, and show the un paralleled state of destittition to which bad landlords and mer ciless absentees have reduced Ireland. MUNICIPAL CORPOR A'OON REFORM.—Thurs day, Daniel Maude, Esq., and Captain Jones, the Commis sioners appointed by letters patent under the great seal, ar rived in this town, for the purpose of surveying and inspecting the boundaries to be fixed agreeably to the provisions of the Corporation Reform Bill, previous to the declaration by the King in Council.—Doncaster Gazette. The Editor of the Chester Courant, in his notieo to Correspondents, makes the following announcement:— " We really think that individuals who write to us for their exclusive convenience, should pay the postage of their letters. Two hundred pounds a-year for postages that do not benefit us in the least, is no trifle." Trifle, indeed ! We should think not. Two hundred pounds a year will come to something like 4/. a-week—rather a considerable sum for the Proprietor of a Provincial Paper to pay for useless letters. A gentleman of such extensive correspondence will, at least, have twice as many letters that are useful. We have thus one individual contributing no less a sum than 6001. per annum towards the Post-office reYenue. CAMBRIDGE F ES TIVA L.—lt appears from the Report of the managing committee, that the receipts were 2 i 270/., and the expenses, without charging for printing, light ing, erecting orchestra, ev.c., amounted to 1,947/. 11s. 4d.— Cambridge Chronicle. UNRIPE FRUlT.—Great caution should be exer cised at this period in the use of unripe fruit, and particularly in the use of new potatoes. The excessive use of this root, and of unripe fruit, are well known to induce periodically, at this season, English cholera, and other alarming effects in the stomach and bowels. ORANGE OUT RA GE.—On Sunday evening, in consequence of great rioting in Sandy-row, the military were called upon to fire on the rioters, and one person, at least, Ann Moore, if not more, has lost her life, and several others have been severely wounded. It appears that, in the course of Saturday night, three arches, with garlands of orange flowers and ribbons, were erected in Sandy-row and its neighbourhood ; and yesterday forenoon a green arch and flag were erected by the Roman Catholics, near the Pound, in Barrack-street, at the top of Mill-street. These points were positions, during the day, for the different parties, at which to rally, and proceed against their opponents, each party cheering and throwing stones. The Sovereign and the other Magistrates found it necessary to call in the mili tary and police, and endeavoured to keep the contending parties separate ; but were very roughly handled in the attempt to keep the peace. Both the Sovereign and Captain Skinner were very violently struck with stones. In the evening the Riot Act was read ; and the mobs refusing to disperse, and becoming rather more outrageous, direc tions were given to take down the arches by force ; this was resisted, and, at last, the military were ordered to fire; the consequence was, that Ann Moore was killed on the spot. A man received a ball in his head, which, fortunately, did not perforate the skull. Another man, William Trainer, a coal porter, while protecting one of the Orange arches, had his arm fractured, besides a wound in the abdomen. He was carried to the hospital. Several others were slightly wounded. Every means were taken to keep the different parties from coming into collision, and to cause them to disperse, but without effect. A vast number of women and young lads were the most noisy and riotous, and in their progress, from place to place, many windows in King-street were broken. An in habitant, having influence with the Orange party, was, among others, requested to endeavour to prevail on them to take down their arch. This they consented to do if the military were withdrawn ; but though the soldiers were marched to some distance, they would not take down the arch. The Ro man Catholic party were also repeatedly prevailed upon to take down the green arch and fla g , but they as often replaced it. An investigation into the Orange outrages in Monaghan is proceeding.—Belfast News. COLONEL THOMSON.—On Monday last the re cognizances entered into for prosecuting the petition com plaining of an undue return for this place, at the late elec tion, were examined into by the proper officers, and no ob jection having been made, were declared to be sufficient.

At the High Court of Justiciary, Edinburgh, on Monday, Elizabeth M'Niel was convi,sted of administering arsenic to her husband, Peter Banks, residing at Dewartown, Borthwick, mixed with salts and water. The evidence was chiefly circumstantial, but strikingly connected. The pur chasing of poison by the prisoner, under the pretence of kill ing rats, was proved by Mr. Otto, surgeon, of Pathead, by Mrs. Otto, and their daughter, Sarah, and the mixing of a whitish powder along with the salts, was deposed to by a son of the deceased by a former wife, and his severe pain and vo miting, and consequent death. Ann M'Gregor, the house keeper at Chester Hall, gave the prisoner a shilling as charity, and the Ottos deposed to the prisoner tendering a shilling in payment for the arsenic, she receiving 10d. in change. Jean Scougall, a very old woman, a next door neighbour of Banks, deposed to the state in which she saw the deceased, whose ill ness the prisoner said was cholera, but that he would not hear of a doctor. The prisoner bad a discoloured eye at the time, for which she accounted in vafious ways, but she had been heard to say that her husband had struck her, and that he would repent it. She was sentenced to be hanged on the 3d of August. The prisoner is a thin, spare woman, ap parently about 50. SUEErtN ES s.—A most distressing accident occurred on Tuesday in Sheerness Harbour. A young man named Mincheon was going out in a boat fishing ; the day being re markably fine, and the water remarkably smooth, his mother, who lived on hoard the Blenheim, was very desirous of going with him, and stated her wish to him ; lie endeavoured to dis suade her from going, but she remarked that the weather being so fine, it would do the children good. She therefore went, and took with her a little boy about two years old, and an other boy about four years old : coming down the harbour, in attempting to cross from one ship to another, the tide set ting very strong, drove the boat against his Majesty's ship Tremendous, when the mast of the boat struck a boom which is made fast alongside the ships in the harbour, and she filled with water. The son jumped out on to the boom to endea vour to right the vessel, but not succeeding, they hung on the vessel for some time, but she drifted down the harbour - and sunk, and all four sunk together. The young man succeeded in bringing up his mother and the two children, and for a while kept them up, but again they sunk, and he saw no more of them. He swam about for some minutes, when a boat from one of the ships came and picked him up. The body of the youngest child was caught in a net on Wednesday evening, and an inquest held thereon. The father of the family is a man of good character, and deservedly respected. Another son, who usually sails in the boat, and had not missed a day before for nearly twelve months, happened this day to be on board another ship with the father, otherwise in all pro bability his life would have been also sacrificed.—?Maidstone Journal. EXECUTION IN EDINIIURGII.—James Bell, the trooper, of the sth Dragoon Guards, was hanged in Edinburgh on Monday, for the murder of Serjeant-major Moorhead, of the same regiment, whom he shot. The executioner, from some blunder when on the scaffold, could not adjust the rope properly, and it bad to be done by Mr. Brown, the Superin intendent of the Public Works, who adjusted the rope to the scaffold with his own hands. The bungling, however, had not terminated, for when the culprit jerked aside, the fatal signal, with which the drop should have given way almost simultaneously, a few moments' dreadful suspense occurred, during which the miserable victim shook with a sort of con vulsive tremor, at the same time stretching out his hands in the attitude ofprayer, as if to snatch the last moment of in tercession. At last, however, the melancholy business termi nated, and he died after one or two severe struggles. The concourse of people was very great, indeed, equal to that con gregated at the execution of the notorious Burke, One po liceman fainted during the spectacle, ana was carried away. This was the first time the executioner had officiated in Edin burgh, although he had previously performed the duty tw ice, at Stirling and Grcenlaw. Bell was in his 26th year, and was born at Clones, in the North of Ireland. H^ was for- Telly a weaver,. _ - . SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURIVA We have before us, but we have merely bad time to look into it, one of the most important documents ever sub mitted by his Majesty to either House of Parliament—we mean the Second Report on the Commercial Relations be tween France and Great Britain, by Dr. Bowring. The subjects treated of in this most interesting commercial atd statistical arpos are " silks and wine,"-,the productions in which France is supposed to excel the people of this and of every other country in the world—and most admirably have they been treated. The Report teems with facts which could only have been collected by the most unwearied in dustry and zeal—which are interesting in themselves as mere histories of existing systems —but still more important, as proving the incalculable evils which are invariably pro duced by prohibitions and restrictions. On this latter point there can be no mistake in any one's mind, after a perusal of the very ample evidence recorded in the Report be fore us. The wine trade of France is in a declining state, notwithstanding the favour shown towards it by this (ountry—its silks are only productive of ruin to those en gaged in their manufacture—and why ? Simply because they have not fair play—because in France all internal trade, and all external commerce, is more or less a mono poly—because from Paris to Lyons, and from Lyons to Havre, the inscription upon every city, town, and mill is " restriction"—and, finally, because capital cannot be use fully employed, an :l seeks out other and more favourable channels. These arc incontrovertible truths, however long they may be finding theic way into the minds of French men ; but as we mean to e zamine the Report carefully, and to return to the subject on Monday, we shall not at present farther dilate upon it, than t. 13 expl'ess a hope that it will be read by every Englishman capable of appreciating its merits, and reasoning accurately upon the• facts pre sented for its consideration.—Morning Advertiser. HOUSE OF LORDS. APPEALS.-ATTNNOOD V. SMALL AND OTHERS. Mr. KNIGHT, for the respondents, resumed his commentaries on the history of the case this morning, and read several letters in the published evidence, bearing on the point of valuation of the estate, and the share which Philip Taylor appeared to have had in that part of the transaction. Ile then said that he now came to the most painful part of his duty, to point out with re spect to these smaller quantities and reduced profits a statement of Mr. Attwood (in his answer in appendix No. 2 filed the 11th of April, 1627), in which he distinctly avers that the esti mate set forth in the bill of complaint as his " does not, nor does any part of it, correspond with any data or statements which he gave to Philip Taylor." In contravention of this denial Mr. Knight called attention to an estimate handed in to the Company, containing the data so denied, in the hand writing of Henry James, the clerk of Mr. Attwood. He begged leave to hand this document to their Lordships for their espe cial notice on another incidental point, which, perhaps, they would agree with him, bore at least a very suspicious aspect. Tb,,s document was marked, " H. J. 7."—and headed, " Esti. matec cost of making 360 tons of foreign pig iron at the Du u d l e Wood furnaces, 7th June, 1826." Their Lordships could not 1„:l to observe that the words " Estimated," and " 360 tens of fo.7c, were written in a different ink, and most probably subsecine,itly introduced. The heading originally was, " Cost of making" pig iron, &c." Now the word " Esti mated" made all the ditt:erence in the world. It was the point of the case, and highly iilustrative of the character of the document and the denial. " Estimates" are very different from " Costs." Lords Brougham and Lyndltaist examined the paper to gether, very minutely, and shook their heads; the latter then remarked, " All that we can say of the appearance is, that it is unlucky !" Mr. KNIGHT—Just so, my Lord, that's exactly my view of it. That's all I mean to insinuate. Lord BROUGHAM—What a sensation a discovery of this kind would cause in a Jury box ! What an incident for a nisi pries case. Mr. KNIGHT—And very naturally, my Lords. Imagine what an impression Lord Abinger (if he were again in prac tice), with such a document in his hands, would produce on " twelve honest citizens." Lord LYNDHURST—The foreman would lift up his hands in amazement at the light it would let in upon the case. Lord Baouctram--011, it would settle the question in the Jury box at once. " 'Tis a clear case," they would cry.— ( Laughtek*. ) Mr. KNIGOT—AII I mean to say on it at present is, that it looks very suspicious. Lord LYNDHUC,ST—What does Mr. Wakefield say to this interpolation ? It does not seem to stagger him in the least. Mr. WAKEFIELD-01i, not at all, my Lord.—( Laughter.) Mr. KNIGHT—Oh, no. His nerves are firm. Si fractus illabatur orbis. Lord LYNIMURST—Propoziti tena.r. Mr. Sergeant WYLDE remarked that he had no recollec tion of this appearance having formed the subject of remark in the Court below. He did not remember to have seen the paper before. Mr. KNIGHT said that he had only spoken five hours in his reply on that occasion, and had not time to enter on that topic. He had left out of his reply enough to gain two such causes ; and his Lordship in giving judgment, had very judiciously only animadverted on the essential points—other wise, he might have been giving judgment ever since.— t :Laughter. ) a fter some observations on the case by Mr. KNIGHT, the furthe.• hearing of this case was postponed till next week, when Lord Brougham shall have returned from the north— probably until Thursday or Friday. r/-1 Cr d . - /1/ ASOIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME Ci.RCU III—HERTFORD, JULY 17. The business of th.' Assize for the county of Hertford commenced here yesteroq morning. The Commission hav ing been opened on the pr.eceding day, Mr. Justice LITTLE DALE delivered the charge to the Grand Jury. The names of eight prisoners are down for trial ; one of the cases is that of murder. The business on the Nisi Prins is light, only eleven causes are extered. Mr. Sustjee PARK sits on the civil side. Thomas Darby, aged 29, labourer, was placed at the bar, charged with the wilful murder of William Radley, on the 6th instant, at the parish of Eastwick. William Day, labourer, stated that on the 6th of July the prisoner, he, and William Drake were mowing in Hunsden mead, for Squire Brown. The deceased Radley came into the mead at bevor (luncheon) time, and took bevor with them. They were all very good friends, and no anger had been shown by any. The prisoner after bevor grew very quarrelsome, and wished to fight with the witness. They had had about a gallon of beer, but were not intoxicated. Rad ley said, after the bevor, that he would go and try to get some work, and went away. They then cantinued mowing. Rad ley returned at about five o'clock, and said be was going to get some beer for Mr. Holmes's men. fie came back shortly, and, while the witness had his back turned, the deceased cried out, " Oh, dear ! oh, dear ! Will, Tom has put his scythe into me.' The witness immediately turned round, and saw the prisoner leaning on the handle of his scythe. The deceased walked forward a few yards and then fell on his stomach; the witness went up to the deceased and tried to help him, but it was to no purpose, as he died in twenty minutes after. The blood was flowing from a large cut in his stomach, and the scythe of the prisoner was marked with blood; the witness then told the prisoner that he had killed the man ; he an swered, " I meant to do so ;" the prisoner afterwards laid down in the meadow, and in a short timn got up and walked away. The prisoner married the deceased'o mother. William Cakebread, who was mowing with the prisoner on the day in question, gave similar testimony. His LORDSHIP having summed up, the Jury returned a ver dict of pilty. The prb,oner was then sentenced, in the usual way. to suffer execution on Monday next. lie appeared unmoved during the trial, anti also on hearing the sentence. TV E STERN I.7I?CUIT—IVINCHESTER, THURSDAY. The Commission was opened here yesterday afternoon, and the Court sat this morning.

The plaintiff was formerly in the service of the defendants at Salisbury, who were mercers, as a shopmau. She afterwards removed into the service of a Mr. Trewman, also a mercer at Salisbury, and whilst there Mrs. Penfold, in the course of conversation with Mrs. Trewman, abused the plaintiff's character, saying that she had as soon walk the n s t r ,.ets with Mrs. Leslie (a prostitute at Salisbury) as with t h e p i a Ltiff. and that she had been turned out of a situation at Southam k :tort, because she had a little one by the s on of an °Meer there.
