The Tory Administration last night sustained no less than FOUR several defeats in the House of Commons, having been out-voted on that number of points. Although the subjects of the divisions are not all of equal importance, yet the result sets in a strong light the extreme weakness—the helpless imbecility—the superannuated decrepitude—of the Ministerial body, combined with a tenacity of existence wholly unexampled, save and except among that class of domestic animals, each of which is said to be endowed with nine precious lives. There is an old and familiar adage which says, " A spaniel, a wife, and a walnut tree, The more you beat them, the better they be." If we could flatter ourselves that the same rule would hold good in the case before us, we would not grudge the trouble or delay of a few days' more sound thrash ing—nay, if even% few weeks' thorough belabouring could hold out any rational prospect of accomplishing so desirable an object, we are sure the country would contemplate the spectacle if not with exultation, as suredly with patience and edification. But we fear we cannot indulge, nor advise our readers to indulge, any very flattering hopes of Ministerial improvement from the severe discipline which, according to the adage we have quoted, produces effects so beneficial on the parties therein mentioned. The transactions of last night convince us that Ministers are a class of objects which, the more you beat them " the worse they be." For to say nothing of what they have un- dergone on former occasions—we find them in this last exhibition guilty of very aggravated misbehaviour, and after three separate and distinct " pommellings," needlessly subjecting themselves to a fourth. The question relating to the London University, in the discussion of whick the Ministers and their friends Made so poor a figure, is very simple. The por tals of the Universities, so richly endowed with national property are closed against Dissenters. H. Gow.BunN, Esq., will not consent that his sons shall he contaminated (that is his happy word) by the pre-. senceof a Dissenter within the same walls. Well, sav the Dissenters, if you will not admit us to the national seats of education, at least allow us to have a Uni versity of our own. We have at a great expence founded such an institution ; and ail we want, is a charter giving our University the usual privilege of con ferring degrees—you will not surely refuse us this. Yes—even this is refused. To the eternal disgrace of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Government, the motion for an address to the CROWN, to grant a charter to the London University was resisted by them —was resisted by men, who are in the same breath proclaiming their desire to redress all dissenting grievances----to put Dissenters on a footing of perfect equality with members of the establishment—how loathsome is such hypocrisy as this The present Administration may after this propose what measures they please for the relief of the Dissenters—they may make what regu lations they choose about marriage ceremonies— they will never convince the Dissenters that any measures proceeding from such a source can be founded on a sincere desire to befriend them, or to better either their civil or religious condition. To look for any thing in the shape of an argument in opposition to Mr. Tom: E's motion, would be the vainest of all vain tasks. Sir ROBERT INGms, that very good, but not very wise man, objected to the power of granting degrees being given to the London University because it did not consist of a number of distinct Colleges, like Oxford or Cambridge ! How many Colleges does the University of Edinburgh or Glasgow—to say nothing of the other Scot tish Universities consist of ? Do all the Continental Universities contain more than one college ?—and are they not competently qualified to confer degrees ? In deference to the prejudices of the English Universities, it is conceded that the London University shall not grant degrees in Divinity and Medicine.—Oh ! says Sir R. INGL is, that amounts to nothing—there are very few degrees in Div' nity granted at Oxford. Now we had always considered the privilege the more valuable on that very account. The honores rari are those which an aspiring mind would most anxiously covet. No, says the Hon. Baronet, the more degrees you bestow, the more highly prized they will be! The Ministers are in a pretty dilemma. The House of Commons has voted an Address to the KING, praying him to do that which they (the Ministers) i•x4 ' c!. t , , . • .

The proceedings of Parliament up to the pre sent period of the Session have apparently been little better than a waste of the public time. This the Government journals have ascribed to the course pursued by the Opposition. They can see no imaginable grounds why the business of the State should be retarded by the warfare of words that nightly takes place, when the Government, or rather Sir ROBERT PEEL—for it is a farce to allude to his silent and useless colleagues—is speaking so fairly, and so disinterestedly, adopting as his own the :mea sures of the men whom he has supplanted, by way of courting their confidence-and kind support. But there is a circumstance (which the Opposition has not failed to remark) that by no means tends either to diminish the force of their original objections to Sir ROB E RT PEEL'S Ministry, or to excite any compunction for occasioning a little further delay by some wholesome contentions. The discharge of the severe duties which have de volved on the Right Hon. Baronet, and the extraordi nary tact he has displayed in bolstering up the Con servative cause, though unquestionably very creditable both to his intellectual talents and his moral intrepidity, have but rendered more conspicuous the utter ineffi ciency of his official associates, for any purpose either useful or ornamental, at a time when assistance would appear to be most needed. It would be ungracious to suspect anything like treachery to be going on, to pre vent the disclosure of which Sir ROBERT PEEL is disposed to trust to his own masterly dexterity, rather than to run the risk of those inadvertencies of speech which might now and then have escaped them, had their aid been given; it is to be supposed, rather, that from sheer incapacity alone have they sat like cyphers, and allowed their leader to bear the full brunt of the battle by himself. Here and there, to be sure, they have strung together a few nothing, just by way of giving him breathing time, but no further help have they appeared able or willing to afford. Now, to con ceive a case, barely possible, as some people think, and not improbable, as others imagine—if by the exertions of Sir ROBERT PEEL the old Tories should be firmly established in power, and any event should then occur to deprive them of his services—men die, get dis gusted, are sent adrift, and so on—the contingencies of life are many—what guarantee have the country that the Tories would remain the Reformers they now proclaim themselves to be? Not from want of principle, of course, but from lack of discretion, they might see occasion to abandon their Reform propensities ; at a time when the same facilities of displacing them as now exist may exist no longer, would it be wise to hazard this pro bability ? The Reformers see something so remarkable in the present helplessness of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S compa nions, that they have stronger reasons than ever for distrusting them all, and conscious of the defeat which is about to be inflicted upon the one-headed but many bodied Government, (which may render necessary the little that has advanced in the way of public business to be began, de novo, upon the formation of a new Government), they impose, perhaps, less restraint upon their tempers than they otherwise would, and apparently waste the time that ought to be devoted to business. But the time so occupied, depend upon it, has not been wasted ; and this, as regards the interests of the country, the result will prove. Advices from the East confirm the correctness of a rumour which prevailed yesterday in the city, to the effect that the Governments of England, Russia, and Turkey had recognized the provinces of Wallachia and Moldavia as independent States. The importance of this strange and unexpected event cannot be exagge rated, inasmuch as it raises up an impenetrable barrier between Russia and the dominions of the SULTAN. There was a period in the history of Euro pean policy, when the effect would have been different—when in fact the separation of these provinces from the Turkish sway would have been the prelude to hostilities ; but it is the principle of modern international Councils to protect with the most jealous vigilance the interests of infant States, as the most effectual means of preserving a just balance of power. So long as the provinces of Wallachia and Moldavia were subject to the SULTAN, we could not prevent the encroachments of Russia on that side, without first having our assistance sought by the SUBLIME PORTE. To hare acted otherwise would have involved us in a war with the very Power which we wished to protect. But now, that we are ourselves parties to the treaty for recognizing the in dependence of these States—now that we are num bered among the guardians of their independence—we may and can protect them against the treachery of Russia without exciting the jealousy of our Eastern Allies. The inhabitants of Wallachia and Moldavia, though for several centuries subject to the OTTOMAN yoke, are Greek Christians. After various vain attempts to destroy their nationality, by compelling them to con form themselves to the customs of the conquerors, the PORTE granted to them the free exercise of their reli gion, the election of Governors professing their own faith, and the appointment of Patriarchs=-the SUL TAN reserving to himself the right of confirming the objects of such elections and appointments in their respective offices. The Governors were called Hos podars ; their jurisdiction extended over certain districts, within which they possessed nearly the same power as the Turkish Pashas, being both Supreme Judges and Collectors of the reve nue, which they farmed out to the highest bidder. The sufferings of the people under such a system of Government were even worse than in Egypt, and yet they complained not, because the hands which op pressed them were raised in supplication before the same altar with themselves. The war between Russia and Turkey in 1829 had a considerable effect on the provinces of Wallachia and Moldavia. Forming the Turkish frontier on the side of Russia, they were exposed to the violence of both parties. After the treaty of Adrianople, the Moldavians and Wallachians claimed their independence ; but although their claims were not then recognised by Russia and England, yet it procured for them a considerable extension of their liberties, and a very great diminution of the revenue, which they were be fore compelled to pay into the Turkish Exchequer. The PORTE, in fact, agreed to treat them rather as tributary States than as provinces of the SULTA N'S dominions. The SULTAN, however, has at last yielded to the in treaties of the Hospodars, and now sanctions the ele vation of the provinces of Wallachia and Moldavia into independent States, as the safest way of effecting the security of the European frontiers .of his empire. We cordially congratulate Great Britain on this most important event, which to us i opens a wide field for commercial industry. Wallachia and Moldavia are agricultural countries, with a rich and bounteous soil, which, however, has not been cultivated in con sequence of the heavy oppressions under which the inhabitants groaned. Nature has done everything, but as yet man has done nothing, for these States. A trade with England will soon be opened, based on the most liberal principles—the consequence of the esta blishment of a responsible Government, whose interest it will be to encourage and protect the industry of the THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, _MARCH 27, 1835. country. Of the consequence of the recognition of these States, in a political point of view, we shall treat more fully when the Treaty itself is made public. Henceforth neither the jealousy of the PORTE, nor the misrepresentations of Russia, will avail the latter in her designs of blockading the Dardanelles. Let Russia only garrison a single fort within the States of Moldavia and Wallachia, - and England is bound to take the field against her—aye, and will take it. The Paris Papers of Wednesday have been received. Lord COWLEY, the English Ambassador, is expected to arrive in Paris to-day. The Messager gives the following list of diplomatic agents now in Paris : Baron BARANTE, Ambassador at Turin; Baron Mo It- TIER, Minister at Lisbon ; Count de ST. PRIEST, Minister in Brazil ; DE VARENNES, Minister at Hamburg; LANGSDORFF, Secretary . of Legation at Petersburg ; DE LASTEYRIE, Secretary of Legation at Lisbon ; DE GROUCHY, Secretary of Legation at Frankfort. 1 In the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday, M. TRIERS introduced the project of a law for grant ing 1,200,000 francs as Secret Service Money, under a threat, that unless the grant was allowed, Mi nisters would resign. The debate which followed was of no importance. The Committee appointed to report on the project of the law, for granting twenty-five millions of francs for the indemnification of America, will be ready, with its report, in a few days. Its la , hours are on the eve of completion. FRENCH FUN Os MARCH 95. Five per Cents., U , 7f. 75c. 50c. Four per Cents, 98f. 10e. Three per Cents., 80f. 55c. 70c. 45c. Bank Actions, 1,P9 —c.

O'CLOCK.-The fall in Consols on the 23d has occasioned a fall in the Throe per Cents., which had re mained yesterday afternoon at 80f. 821 e. but from the open ing of the Bourse till now they are at 801. 60c. to 65c. The Spaiiish stocks were not so .brisk as yesterday ; the DiffereS have dropped to 19A-, which is their present price. It seems certain that the banker, M. Jauge, who is at present in London, is endeavouring to fill up a loan for Don Carlos of 100,000,000 francs. I have seen the prospectus. The loan is to be fixed at the price of 65 per cent., to be redeemed at par in 40 series and 40 annuities at 5 per cent. interest ; 4 per cent, premium for those who inscribe for the loan, to be paid by instalments, 15 per cent, ready money ; 15 per cent. when Don Carlos is acknowledged in any town of importance ; 31 when Don Carlos shall be in Madrid; and then in three months by one-third per month ; the interest to begin from the second instalment.

Madrid Papers to the 19th inst. have been received. The committee appointed to report on the means of establishinp, a sinking fund has concluded its labours, The following are the only important articles container: in the report : Art. 1. The affairs of the sinking fund shall continue to be governed by the regulation of the 15th of August, 1833, in so far as it has not been altered by the present law, or b) that of the 16th of November, 1834. 2. With respect to table No. 2, dating from the Ist of January of the present year, the sinking fund of 1 per cent., devoted to the liquidation of the consolidated debt, shall be re duced to I per cent. 3. The surplus of the said fund, until it has reached 1 per cent., shall be applied, together with other taxes, to the pay ment of the interest, and to that of the per cent., which, the newly consolidated debt now bears. 4. The budget of the sinking fund is approved of, with the modifications expressed in the present law. The QUEEN has commanded that the anniversary of the Ist October (the day upon which King FER DINAND VII. quitted Cadiz in 1825) shall no longer be celebrated. We have made an abstract of the Bill brought in by Lord JOHN RUSSELL and Sir J. CAMP BELL to improve the Registration of Voters, which will be found in another part of our columns. This Bill is certainly an improvement upon the present system, but it it not what we had hoped to have found it. As, however, it has now been re ferred to a Committee, we trust that its provisions and details will there undergo much improvement, and, in that hope, we shall postpone our remarks until it has gone through that ordeal. Above all, we trust that the absurd and impolitic provision of making the quali fication of voters to depend on the payment of rates and taxes, which we regret to sec is retained in this Bill, will be abolished. ELECTION COMMITTEES. The interest excited respecting the Dublin Election is very great. There was an immense number of persons assembled yesterday about the House waiting to hear of the appointment of the Committee. The Committee is to commence its in vestigation at two o'clock to day in the Court of Chancery. Much interest is also excited respecting the Ipswich elec tion. The Counsel for the petitioners are M r. M. D. Hill and Mr. Austen. Counsel for the Sitting Members, Messrs. Harrison, Pollock, Phillips, and O'Malley.—And for the re turning- officers, whose conduct is impeached, Mr. Sergeant Mereweather, and Mr. Wordsworth. The Committee met at 11 o'clock to-day, in the Court house, Westminster. Mr. Hill opened the case for the pe titioners. The ground of the petition was, that the Sitting Members (Messrs. Kelly and Dundas) were unduly returned in consequence of intimidation, and of having been guilty of bribery, by means of their acknowledged agents. He first explained the law of Parliament as to what constituted acts of bribery and agency, and then applied the principles he laid down to the facts and circumstances that would be proved in the evidence that would be produced, to show that the friends and partisans of the sitting Members had been guilty of open bribery. He did not mean to charge the Hon. Gentleman with actual bribery, but as it was an admitted maxim of law that an agent, who is authorised by a Candidate to act for a lawful purpose, is equally an agent for the Candidate when lie oversteps his instructions and acts unlawfully, and that, con sequently, the Candidate is held responsible for such unlawful acts. So strict was this doctrine, that in his own experienc there had been an instance in which the proprietor of a news paper was held responsible and punished for a libel, published at a time when he was not only ignorant of its publication, but was in fact proved to have been labouring udder a brain fever. As to the charge of intimidation, it would be shown that the worst species of intimidation, that of exclusive dealing, was resorted to during this election. If he proved these charges to the satisfaction of the Committee, he submitted that the concluding prayer of the petition ought to be granted—namely, that the Sitting Members should be unseated, and the petition ing candidates (Messrs. Wason and Morrison), placed in their stead. He proposed to strike off the poll 108 votes, as being disqualified, which he classed under the following heads : -13 as being non-resident ; 40 for bribery ; 8 for not having paid the municipal taxes ; 4 for not voting as they were registered ; and 43 who were hired agents during the election. 'F he con duct of the Returning Officers w as a l so i m pugned—they acted with gross irregularity, having been violent partizans during the election. The Committee, therefore, were bound to scru tinize their conduct very closely. These Gentlemen, he was glad to learn, were defended by Counsel, and he hoped their character would be freed from the imputation cast upon them. The Returning Officer (Mr. Cobham) was first called. He produced the poll-book. ( Here the Reporter was informed that the Committee had come to the resolution not to permit the evidence to be pub lished until the proceedings are terminated.) The Duke of Sutherland entertained a select patty at dinner on Wednesday at Stafford-house. The Duke of Buccleuch, since his departure for the North, has been staying at Bowhill, one of his seats in the county of Selkirk. Their Graces will arrive in town early in May, for the season. The various avocations of the Duke of Wellington have prevented his Grace from joining in the Chace at Strath tieldsaye, where he has been accustomed to hunt during the season with Sir John Cope's, or the Vine Hounds. The im provements in his Grace's mansion being completed, he will receive some of the Foreign Ministers, and other distinguished visitants during the Easter recess. DERBY CHEESE FAIR, MARCH 23.--Large factor's cheese went at 465. to 50s. ; but there was a large quantity of good cheese disposed of at 40s. to 445. The most selling prices were from 445. to 475. per cwt. of 1201bs. The esult of this fair is any thing but satisfactory to the farmers. INQUEST.-011 Wednesday the 18th instant, in the township of Alderwasley, on the body of Mr. P o y s er, a farmer, who had destroyed himself the day before. H e had isen early, taken a ploughline from the stable, gone to a barn tt some distance and fed the cattle that were in it, and then ;vent straight across a ploughed field to an oak tree, on which fie hanged himself. Verdict—" Lunacy." PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY• In the Lords last night some petitions were presented in favour of the Established Church in Scotland. The House adjourned after the presentation of some papers from the Poor Law Commissioners. In the Commons the Chair was not taken till five, owing to a ballot for the two Election Committees, for Ipswich and Dublin. Mr. DUGDALE moved that fifteen days be allowed to Mr. VILLIERS, the unseated Member for Can terbury.—Motion agreed to. Some conversation took place relative to a petition for the substitution of a surety in the case of the borough of Leicester, and a motion for that purpose was made, on which the House divided twice. The petition was rejected. In the case of the County Cork Election a motion to correc tan error was carried on a division. Mr. TOOKE brought forward his motion, " That an humble Address be presented to his MA JESTY, beseeching him to grant his Royal Charter of In corporation to the University of London, as approved in the year 1831, by the then Law Officers of the Crown, and containing no other restriction than against conferring degrees in divinity and in medicine." Mr. GouLsuaN moved an amendment, " That a humble address be presented to the Crown, praying that all memo rials laid before the Privy Council with reference to grant ing a charter to the London University, and any pro ceedings taken thereon, be laid before the House." After a long and interesting discussion, Mr. TOOKE carried his motion by a majority of 246 against 136. Leave was given to bring in a Rill to provide con venient places for holding Assizes in Ireland: The Resolutions of the Committee of Supply were brought up and agreed to. The Motion relative to the riots at Armagh Races, was postponed to Thursday next. Colonel VERNER moved for a Report relative to the conduct of a Policeman at Portadown. The Gallant Colonel persisted in noticing the objection that Mr. SHIEL had taken to his being put on the Committee to inquire into the Orange I.odges of Ireland. Mr. SIIEIL had no other ground of objection than that Colonel Verner (whom he compli mented on his integrity and honour) was the Grand Master of the Lodges. The House adjourned at. half-past one. INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY. James Christopher Sheppard, a licensed-victualler, came up to-day for judgment. He was opposed by Mr. COOKE, for a Mr. Hughes, his brother-in-law, and was supported by Mr. WOODROFFE. This was a serious case. The insolvent, who had been a publican in the neighbourhood of Whitechapel, had borrowed 1501. of the opposing creditor, and he had become liable for a debt due to Messrs. Seager and Evans, the distillers. He sold his house a short time ago, and paid three creditors, his relations, their debts to the injury of Mr. Hughes. The al leged creditors were examined, and the evidence was ex treniely conflicting. The COURT said in this case perjury and ingratitude had been carried on to a great extent, and the insolvent would be remanded for a lengthened period. The case stood over till to-day, and it. was now stated that the opposing creditor in tended to indict the parties for their conduct. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS, in giving judgment said, in this case a gross conspiracy had been formed and carried into effect. It was the worst case that had come before the Court for some time, and he hoped the parties would be indicted ; and he wished it to be understood that the judgement he was about to pronounce would in no way operate to prevent the insolvent being included in any indictment. He sentenced him to an imprisonment of 18 calendar months, for a fraudulent dispo sition of property. A HARD CASE.—An insolvent named Francis Bow, whose case was before the Court yesterday, stood over until to-day for the production of some accounts. On the insolvent being brought up it was stated that the detaining creditor had last night, at 9 o'clock, sent the discharge to the prison, and the in solvent instead of remaining in prison went out. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said he was extremely sorry for the man, but as he had gone out of custody he had no jurisdic tion over the case. Had he remained in prison he would have discharged him. He ordered his name to be struck out of the cause paper.. SURREY SESSIONS-(THIS DAY James Norman &awns, a young boy, was indicted for steal ing, on the 19th ult., a tilt-cloth, value 10s., the property of Mrs. Ann Thomson. The prisoner was seen in company with two other boys, who have already been tried and are now in prison, near the cart driven by the prosecutrix's carman, when the carman was in a shop in the borough. The prisoner was taken into custody by a policeman, with the property ire his possession. Sentenced to fourteen days' solitary imprisonment at Brix ton, and to once privately whipped. James Clay and Michael Redshaw, two young men, were indicted for stealing a silk gown and a shawl, the property of Mary Anne Clay. The prosecntrix deposed that the first prisoner was her bro ther; that a family of five resided with her father in New man's-road, Bermondsey; that on the 19th of February she went out to her work as a hat-binder, leaving the gown and shawl in question safe in her box in her room up stairs. On her return on the same day, she found them gone, and her brother did not return till the evening of the Saturday follow ing. She then taxed him with the robbery, which he acknow ledged, and said he had pawned the things. She gave him into custody on the Sunday. John Briant, a young boy residing in 'the same court, saw Redshaw going out on the day named, with a bundle. He was followed by Clay, and they appeared to have come from Clay's house. Police constable M 154, took Clay into custody upon the charge on Sunday the 22d of Feb. From some information he received, and hearing that he was a companion of Clay's, he afterwards took Redshaw, who, on being told of the affair, said he did not steal the things, but he had pawned them, and had his part of the money, and he did not care if he was trans ported for it—that was the truth. Verdict—Guilty. Sentenced to 3 months' hard labour each in the House of Correction. THE FUNDS.—(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Charleston Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house to the 25th of February. These Papers contain accounts from Bermuda, stating that the Jane, from Trinidad and St. Christopher's, and the Belle, from, Antigua, bring papers and accounts from other islands, stating that tranquillity prevails throughout these Colonies. At Antigua the heretofore customary Proclamation of Martial Law at Christmas was withheld, and the militia force exempted from duty, and a great reduction of that force is determined upon. Accounts from the Havannah of the 15th of February state, that coffee was on the rise, as it would be difficult to collect 1,000 bags of prime coffee, and the supplies from the country were limited, and bear out the report which had reached' from all quarters, of a deficiency in the crop. Extreme cold weather was experienced, which is feared would damage the Coffee-trees in the mountains.

There was some excitement in the City yesterday among the mercantile interest, to ascertain the measures about to be adopted by the Bank Directors at their weekly meeting, which took place yesterday, relative to the reported intention to lessen the circulation of the Bank notes. The fall in the Bank Stock continues to excite the attention of the public ia the City. The heaviness in tha British funds for some days past still continues, and money for commercial affairs is scarce. Con sols, which left off yesterday at 911 for money, and 911 s for the Account, opened this morning at the same price ; at pre sent they are 911. Bank Stock has receded to 218 ; Incia Bonds, 22 ; Exchequer Bills, 37 38. The Foreign Market also closed heavy, with a decline in most of the Foreign securities, which opened at—Spanish, 64 .1-; Scrip, 74 ; Portuguese, 944 4. HALF --PAST ONE. The British and Foreign Markets still continue heavy, and money is in demand. Bank Stock has receded within a week about 7 per Cent., at present it may be quoted 217 to 218, caused by orders from the country to sell. Consols may be quoted at the morning price, 911.1, for the Account, and 914 for money, with little business doing. Ex chequer Bills, 37 39 ; India Bonds, 20 22.

The general impression in the City is, that should Mi nisters be defeated on Monday night in the House of Commons, they will not retire, but dissolve Parlia ment. This impression has an effect on the Funds, which do not appear in a firm state, as the speculators are afraid to venture to any great extent at present, until they as certain the result of Lord John Russell's motion. The City capitalists and money brokers are alarmed and agitate& should Ministers be obliged to retire. THREE 0' CL 0 CK. Consols for the Account, 914 j. THE FUNDS.—CLOSING PRICES. BRITISH FUNDS.

Abstract of a Bill for the more effectual Registration of Par liamentary Electors in England and Wales. Brought in by Lord J. Russell and Sir J. Campbell.

FOREIGN Q UARTERLY REVIEW No. XXlh• A. Richter. London. 1835. There is much variety of amusement in this num ber, which exhibits, in every article, more than ordi nary pains-taking-- - -the consequence, we presume, of the rivalry which Mr. Cochrane has lately introduced by his " Foreign Quarterly Review." As there is " ample room and verge enough" for both periodicals , we hope both will flourish, which they ca❑ scarcely fail to do, if they persevere in their present system of dili gence and energy. The ablest Paper in the number be fore us, is that on " Italian Romantic Poetry," in which the Reviewer furnishes us w:th same intelligent re- marks on the misapprehended spirit of the chivalrous . ages and their institutions. Both figure conspicuously romance, but neither will stand the stern test of The best we can say of the chivalrous sys• ;em is, that it was a splendid barbarism, attractive cer tainly to the eye of imagination,• but abhorrent to the judgment. " We never," says the reviewer, " can mark out a century, or part of a century, in which the sun of chivalry shone bright and unclouded. In our search ofter those happy times, we are like the heroes in Eastern and nursery tales, who, in quest of some won derful tiling, are sent on—on—on—by every person of whom they make inquiry. The blissful region still recedes as we pursue it ; every one tells us it is further off." The article on " Kosciusko," which includes a somewhat copious memoir of the unrivalled Polish pa triot, is admirable, if not as a composition, at least from the liberal spirit that pervades it. The original bias of Kosciusko's mind, was, it seems, in favour of the calm pursuits of literature. His disposition was eminently gentle and pacific, but love--disappointe d love, the most wonder-working of conjurors, by one stroke of the wand, transformed the shy, abstracted scho lar, into the bustling, intrepid soldier—a metamor phosis, under the circumstances, more striking than any recorded by Ovid. We know of few characters in an cient or modern history so lofty and unsullied as that of Kosciusko. In uncompromising Spartan inte grity, Washington was perhaps his equal, but he fell far short of him in those various intellectual graces which enrich and humanize our nature. It is much to the credit of the Emperor Paul—ind,;:ed it is a lmost the only beneficent act this half-witted despot ever per formed--that he voluntarily liberated Kosciusko from the vile Russian dungeon to which he had been con signed by Catherine, and even offered him employmen t in his armies, which, a course, the high-minded Pole declined. " Meyer's Voyage round the World' s chiefly deserves praise for the entertaining nature of its extracts. Those respecting the slave system, whic h . is to this day carried on in the Brazils, from an lity on the part of the Government to contend agains t it, are full of painful interest. "Meyer's report," says the Reviewer, "of a visit to the warehouse of a 'Slav e dealer at Rio Janeiro, where the greater part of the un fortunate victims were children, branded with red hot irons, generally on the noblest parts of the human body, fully corroborates all the preceding ac counts of that atrocious system, and of its demo ralizing effects on minds which are in other rESPe CtS not destitute of feelings of humanity." In the article entitled the " Designs of Russia against Turkey," th e Reviewer insists on the internal weakness and disor ganization of the Northern Colossus, and that it need s . only a prompt and spirited demonstration on the I) of England, to make him resign at once all thought s of an attack on, or dismemberment of the Sultan s dominions. Of the remaining articles, the best i s tha one which is devoted to the exposition of the prinel . . pies of Grecian Architecture. T7 ^ _ au reason. SCOTT'S PROSE WORKS. VoL.

A WINTER IN THE FAR WEST. BY C. F. HOFFMAN. In 2 Vols. RICHARD BENTLEY, 1835. Flint, Hall, Schoolcraft, and Say—American if r e yellers, well known by their literary labours ---h a ! each and all given to the world graphic and 1° ; teresting sketches of Springs, of Summers , and 0e Autumns in the " Far West," but never h ef°l. r was it presented with a Winter in that alw °s o unexplored region. The work before us is by il tir intelligent citizen of New York, who s et ° i d in October, 1833, from Easton, in Pennsylvan ia, 91 0 continued his journey, with few interruptions, till Juno in the following year. Works of this kind must l d be subjected to a rigid criticism, otherwise we ° i d , object to the style as too inflated—as dealing too much in Mythological allusions. But travellers are, le der properly, more intent on noting what comes " n er their observation, than solicitous about the 111 91111 1 f, of expressing themselves with peculiar grace. Mr .ll° res t man appears a man of good sense, good feeling, rthe powers of observation, a taste for the picturesqu e ' o f wild, and the romantic ; with a surprising O ve t he every kind of gossip and anecdote which serves W I ere elucidation of habits and character. Here, and t'' he he throws out several valuable reflectious, as io t either did not know their real value, or cared O t a t he about it, even if he did. His intercourse wi th , e st Indians adds greatly both to the noveltyand the it' te. r he of his volumes ; and to those who wish to lea rn ie , real condition of the emigrants to the Western Sett e, meats, we know of no others which we can' be tter e iy, commend. He describes the country as wild, I°lll,ol uneven, but generally fertile wherever cultivated, ioe capable of great improvement. The soil is rielh, cti i, contains within itself all that is necessary for og ri tural purposes. The following description of the t o t of Wheeling, on the Banks of the Ohio, with th e to impressions of a traveller on catching a v iew 0f I .d e s, noble river, will convey to the reader a tolera ble of our author's style and manner : f P a• " The valley widens within a few miles of Wbee-'l'i by the road strikes into the hill-side, whose crooked hat Or, long been following. It soon begins to be cut out of bath Or, rock, and the ascent is rapidly accelerated. Above* . se" right, the trees impend from a lofty hill over you r P lit4 ;jea li : far below you see the stream, so long your compan l°sl ' inn through a small cultivated bottom, which shows like wit.- den to the eye.
