H EINE BROTHERS Contractors for the GREAT LOTTERY, published and drawn by authority and under guarantee of the Hamburg Government, beg to inform the public, that the 65th Lottery of 10,000 Tickets will be drawn on the 18th of March next ; and Tickets are now selling at 108 marks banco, or Si. The prizes are lof 100,000, lof 50,000, lof 30,000, 1 of 20,000, 1 of 10,000, 2 of 5,000, 4 of 3,000, 7 of 2,000, 20 of 1,000, 40 of 500, and 1,500 of 108 marks, which 1,578 money prizes are altogether stated ;n marks banco, and payable without any deduction whatever; 4,000 ticketsbeing delivered gratis to the holders of the 2,000 first-drawn tickets, as per scheme, those purchasing one ticket, at the trifling cost of Si., may obtain three prizes, and thus, if fortune proves favourable, gain 180,000 marks banco, at the present exchange, equal to 13,0001. sterling. Owing to the gratis-tickets, the number of tickets en sale is a very limited one, so that, of course, they will be cleared off very rapidly, and a rise in price occur very soon. Those desirous to purchase at the present first price of Si., are requested, to direct, by one of the first mails, but only for whole tickets, to the above-named Con tractors, Heine Brothers, in Hamburg. Those remitting a 10 /. note will receive an order for the balance of 21., together with the ticket, by return of mail ; on the other hand, those preferring to pay Heine Brothers' draft for the cost, are recommended to pay such draft immediately when presented. A full scheme, and every desirable information, being always sent with the tickets, those giving orders will only have to write a line, ordering the ticket or tickets, adding the money, or an order for the same, or stating the mode of payment that may be more convenient to the orderer, and giving their full and plain directions, to secure the safe receipt of the communications. Those honouring Heine Brothers by pur chasing, may depend on the strictest secrecy, - as ,to their taking a chance or getting a prize ; such being the undeviating rule of the old-established and most lucky Office.

Down with the Tories I down with the enemies of Constitutional liberty I down with the besotted crew who are attempting to stifle Reform ! is the universal cry among the friends of freedom and free insti utions. Shades of speculative opinion, how ever diversified, sink into comparative insignificance be fore the one all-important practical duty of rallying round that great charter, upon the maintenance of which de pends every thing that is valuable to civilized man. For the Reform Act is not merely the bulwark of British liberty ; it is the safeguard of human happiness, and the ear nest of human improvement throughout the world. It is, therefore, against the Reform Act that the powers of darkness and corruption are now arrayed, and the electors of Great Britain are, if possible, to be made the instruments of its destruction. To accom plish this diabolical purpose, all the arts of the most consummate hypocrisy are put in requisition. The Arch-hypocrite, who acts as fugleman to the Ministe rial troop, now pretends to feel a sacred veneration for an act which he has again and again denounced as fatal to the existence of the Monarchy. He has pro mised that no unhallowed hand shall violate its sanc tity. Suppose him sincere in this declaration, and to sup pose this requires no mean effort of charity—can he ful fil his promise ? He cannot. Let the electors be once prevailed upon, by false and delusive pretences of Re form, by bribery, by intimidation, or by any other mo tive, to return a subservient Parliament, and what se curity i s t here for the Reform Act ? Oh I Sir Ro- BERT PEEL'S word is pledged. Well, Sir ROBERT keeps his word, but can he keep his place ? No I So good an opportunity is not to be lost, merely to save his honour. The puppet is pushed aside, having per forined its allotted part, and the prime mover steps forward from the back ground, unfettered by pledges, unhampered by scruples, and cheered on by a band of associates as unfettered and as unscrupulous as him self. The Reform Act is then at his mercy. He will not formally repeal it ; but can any man, in his sound senses, doubt that he will adapt it to his own views of representative perfection ? He has, in the face of the nation, declared his conviction that the old boroughmongering system, by which, under the name of popular representation, and the disguise of popular forms, all power was centered in a corrupt and rapa cious oligarchy—was a perfect pattern of a civil con stitution—the model after which he would construct a representative edifice, should it be his lot to be called upon to perform such a work. This is his recorded opinion, and that it is conscientiously enter tained, he has demonstrated by the most unequivocal proof, by a most determined and persevering opposi tion to the Reform Bill, and to everything allied to Re form. And this is the guardian to whose safe keeping the people of England are invited to entrust the pre cious treasure, the acquisition of which is their pride and their glory ! Are Englishmen capable of such blind infatuation ? Will they consent to become an object of pity, or a theme of derision to foreign na tations? Shall it ever be said that they wanted firm ness to preserve that which it cost them such efforts to acquire ? We fearlessly answer No I The electors of England, Scotland, and Ireland, are prepared to do their duty to their country, and not to their country only, but to mankind. They see the danger which threatens the cause of freedom, and they are determined to avert it by uniting, heart and hand, in one simultaneous ef fort to crush for ever that most pestilent faction, which ever has been, and, while it exists, ever will be the ene my of liberty, and the bane of social improvement. His Majesty's packet Sheldralre, Lieutenant PAS SINGHAM Commander, arrived at Falmouth from Jamaica on the 30th of December, bringing about 75,000 dollars from the West India colonies. The packet sailed from Crooked Island on the 19th of No vember. The voyage was very favourable. When the packet sailed tranquillity prevailed in every part of the interior, with the exception of two plantations where the negroes had refused to work, imagining that the recent Act had given them liberty to do as they pleased. The names of these plantations are Old England and Green Valley. When the packet sailed his Majesty's ships of war, Forte, Savage, Pearl, Racer, Vestal, and Racehorse, and the steamer Rhadamanthus, were lying at Port Royal. Among the passengers on board the Sheldrake is Lord SUSSEX LENNOX, the late Postmaster at Jamaica. We have received the Paris Papers of Tuesday, with accounts from Bayonne of the 26th of December. The debate in the Chamber of Deputies on Monday was wholly taken up with the details of a bill for granting 360,000 francs for the erection of a Court of Justice adjoining the Chamber of Peers. The debate was not closed when the Chamber rose, and its dull- ness and tediousness was fully equal to its length. There is no domestic news in any of these Journals which call for particular observation. The pupils of the Polytechnic School have addressed a letter to the Minister,,for permisssion to be re-admitted to the insti tution, acknowledging that they had been guilty of a breach of discipline. This request will be complied with, and the refractory students re-admitted on the sth January. For the other subjects treated of in these papers, we refer to our extracts. PARIS, Dxc. 30.—A letter from St. Petersburgh, of the 18th December, confirms what we have said of the financial negotiations now carried on at Paris. According to this letter, the Russian Cabinet begins to reckon on the success of its demands upon France, in the name of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw. There is an active correspondence between St. Petersburg and Paris on tho ' subject. The Cabinet of the Tuileries (according to the Russian Ministers) is willing enough to propose to the Chambers the pay ment of the claim, but only it would have a compromise to reduce the amount. There is a difficulty on some points ; but as for the question whether the Czar is the heir of the Grand Duchy of War saw, nobody disputes it. Exertions are therefore making at St. Potersburgh and in Poland, for collecting all the necessary docu ments, in addition to those already sent to France, and it is hoped that the affair will be brought into a regular train at the beginning of next year. The diplomatic relations between Russia and its chief Allies, are very active. Persons well informed, see that the King of Holland, the Duke of Wellington, and the Italian Courts, are urged to the most extravagant demonstrations, and that if there are troubles, foolish pretensions, and anti-revolutionary excesses, it is because Russia will have it so. Her plans are fixed—her policy invariable. The measures ordered in Poland are proceeding with activity, as far as the penury of the treasury will allow ; and the same is the case in the southern provinces. The Emperor is resolved to have 100,000 men on the side next to Prussia. At Berh they talk of 200,000. He is also resolved to have 50,000 in the provinces next to Turkey ; besides, those in Asia, and the troops already on the parts of the Black Sea. Since the news of the death of Feth Ali Schuh, a great number of official and secret agents have been sent to Persia. Superior officers have also been sent to the army of the Caucasus and to the Caspian Sea.—Messager, Dec. 30. FRENCH FUNDS.—Pants, Dec. 30 Five per Cents., 106 E 40c. Sic. 50c.

It appears by the German Papers received to-day, that little hope was entertained at Vienna that the WELLINGTON-PEEL Administration could stand the result of a new Election : Vxxxxit, Dsc. 20.—Yesterday we received the news of the formation of the Peel Administration, but it by no means produced the expected favourable effect on the funds. The hopes of the speculators on 'Change were it seems founded on the expectation that Sir R. Peel would not accept office, unless he found matters so situated that the stability of his Ministry might be foreseen. without a dissolution of Parliament. But as all the letters say that the dissolution is unavoidable, it is thought possible that in the new elections the Opposition may obtain a majority, in which case the Radicals might get into power. Thus it happened that the Funds were inclined rather to fall than to rise. Prince Esterliazy is preparing to return shortly to his post as Ambassador to London. In the month of February next, Princess Leontine of Metternich, daughter of the Prince Chancellor, will be married to the Hunga rian Count Sandon.—Allgemeine Zeitung, Dec. 26. Intelligence from Madrid, of the 24th December, has been received. The only matter of any import ance contained in the Spanish Journals, is a copy of the contract for the New Loan between M. ARDOIN and the Queen's Government, which will be found in another column. The price agreed upon is 60 per cent., and 3 per cent. commission, the price to be raised to 66 per cent., provided the loan sells for 661 for eight days successively, on the Stock Exchange of London or Paris, at any time between the 20th November and the 20th February. The bargain is a hard one for the Spanish Government, but being made in contempt of every principle of justice, and in direct opposition to the remonstrances of the Cortes Bondholders, we leave our countrymen to judge whether they will be again the dupes of a foolish confidence in Spanish honour and integrity. Better that one guilty person should suffer, than that hundreds of innocent persons should be sacrificed. The public may depend upon it that Spain neither can nor will perform her part of the con tract. In the Chambers very little has been done for seve ral weeks past, which a British public can feel interest THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 1, 1835. in knowing. The Budget is the great topic of con vetsation in Madrid—by no means the most inviting one for foreigners. The QUEEN is at present in the capital, and taking every opportunity of appearing in public and acquiring popularity. The hostile meeting which was expected to take place between M. MAR TINEZ DE LA ROSH and the Conde de los NAVAS, in consequence of some expressions used by the former in a debate in the Chamber of Procuradores, and which were understood to apply personally to the Count, has been prevented, by M. M. DE LA ROSA having consented to express his regret for the offensive expres sions in the same place in which he used them. This was done, and so the affair has terminated. Monday next is fixed for the nomination of the Members for the City of London. The polling com mences on the following day, when we hope the electors will place the Reform candidates so high on the poll as to make the election decisive. Let tho Metropolis first set a proper example, and the country, throughout its entire length and breadth, will be sure, promptly and unhesitatingly, to follow it. The appointment of the Earl of WILITIN to the office of Lord-Steward of his Majesty's household, is certainly not one which will give any additional eclat to Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Administration. In deed it is " a load that would sink a Navy,"—much less such a crazy, leaky vessel as that on board which the Right Hon. Baronet has chosen to embark. Lord WILTON, am an Ultra-Tory, is only equalled in the rancour of his zeal by Lord STORNIONT. In Lancashire during the last two years, he has taken every opportunity of figuring at dinners and public meetings, as a thorough-Taxed hack of the ELDON school, of passive obedience and divine right. In point of intelligence and liberality, he is at least half a cen tury behind the age, though, luckily, hie powers of mischief are limited by the very ordinary powers of his mind. How can a Ministry be expected to stand, in stirring days like the present, when such men as Lord WILTON are deemed worthy to form a part of it ? Sir ROBERT PEEL must have been sadly put to it for colleagues, when he ventured on a choice like this—a choice which the country will not receive with execration (for hatred implies fear), but with shouts of ridicule and laughter. The Administration is now, we suppose, completed. Will it last three months ? Will it survive the debate on the Address? Will it even venture to meet Parliament ? Judging from the tone of querulous despondency that prevails among the despots abroad (who, of course, aro deep in its secrets), and of indignation, which is the one predominant feeling in this kingdGm, we should be strongly tempted to say that the Ides of March will be as fatal to Sir ROBERT PEEL, as they were to Csar. ST. LEONARD'S—DEc. 30 Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and Princess Victoria continue in the enjoyment of perfect health. Their Royal Highnesses drive out daily, and always walk on the Promenade for some time. _ _ . __ . On Sunday the Duchess of Kent, accompanied by the Prin cess, attended Divine Service at the parish church. The Dean of Chester and the Rev. Mr. Randolph officiated. The Duchess of Kent has resumed her dinner parties, which had been suspended in consequence of the Duke of Gloucester's death, and her Royal Highness had a select as sembly on Monday evening, and will have another on Thurs day. A grand ball that was to have been given by her Royal Highness to the visitors and residents here and in the vicinity, has been postponed. Our Christmas ball was attended by upwards of 17!) fa shionables, and dancing was kept up with much spirit till a late hour in the morning. On Sunday last the body of Lieut. Gilley, R.N., whose death took place a short time since, with five of the Coast Guard men, whilst in the act of attempting to save the crew of a vessel wrecked off here, was discovered on the sands, and within a quarter of a mile of where the melancholy event occurred. His remains were attended to the grave by many of the respectable inhabitants of the place, who evinced the deepest sympathy at the untimely death of a young awl gal lant Officer. The body of one of the Coast Guard men has since been picked up near Hastings. THE FUNDS -CI BRITISH Bank Stook 3 per Cent. Red 9l 3 per Cent Cons 34 1 per Cent. 3 per Cent.

PIY,‘4 The venerable Earl of Eldon will be in town on Monday next. The mansion in Hamilton-place is completely finished. Earl Cadog,an has given up his residence in Park lane, and is about to remove from the Green Park Hotel to that extensive edifice, Queensberry House, next door to Cam bridge House. The coming of age of Lord Brome, eldest son of the Earl of Cornwallis, was celebrated at Linton Palace, Kent, on Wednesday last, by a variety of festive enjoyments. A grand dinner was given to about eighty of the Noble Earl's tenantry at Cranbrook. The Town Council of Hamilton, at a special meet ing on Friday last, voted the freedom of that burgh to Lord Stanley and Sir James Graham. The Right Hon. Henry Goulburn, and Sir Charles Manners Sutton, have left town for Cambridge, to canvass the electors for the University. The Earl of Wiltonr the new Lord Steward, has always maintained Conservative opinions, his father, the Mar quis of Westminster, being a Whig. We are informed that it was not Sir Thomas Trow bridge, but Mr. Marriott who had declined for Sandwich. The Bishop of Durham has subscribed the splendid sum of five hundred pounds in aid of the fund now raising for the purchase of the " Allan Collection of Minerals," which it is desired to secure for the Museum of the Durham University. Lord Ernest Bruce, who has been appointed one of the new Lords of the Bedchamber, is announced to have gone to Marlborough to secure his re-election for that borough. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.—HiS Grace is ex pected at Belvoir Castle on Monday next, when the Duke of Rutland will give his annual splendid fete to all the rank and fashion of the county, to commemorate the anniversary of his natal day. Lord Forester, the Hon. General Upton (who is slowly recovering from the severe accident he sustained while shooting at Bakewell), and the Hon. William Howard have been among the recent visitants at the Castle exclusive of the family connections. The workmen in the new House of Lords have al ready erected the framework for the Throne. The walls of both Houses will be covered with canvas, stretched and painted. This will prevent the damp which would arise from plaister, &c. The Members of the new Parliaments were formerly sworn in on the day the writs were returnable, and the day after by the Lord High Steward in the Long Gallery, but as it was destroyed by the late fire, the ceremony will probably take place in the Library in. February next. The Brighton election is fixed for the 7th, West Sussex for the 13th, and East Sussex for the 15th of January, A half-yearly General Court of Proprietors of Shares in the Canada Company was held yesterday at Ca nada-house, St. Helen's place, for the purpose of receiving a report from the directors relative to the affairs of the corpora tion, and to declare a dividend. Charles Franks, Esq., the Deputy-Governor, took the chair. The Deputy-Governor stated that sales of land by the company in the present year, up to the 15th of November last, amounted to 64,000 acres, which was a small falling off as compared with the sales of the previous year, but there had been some improvement in the prices obtained. The directors proposed that a dividend, at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, on the capital paid up, should be paid to the shareholders for the half-year which was about to close. The dividend was agreed to. The Deputy- Governor stated that Mr. Jones, one of the company's com missioners, who acted in Canada, had arrived in town, and as the information he had was of much more importance than that the directors could give, he suggested that the report pre pared by that gentleman should be read. The report of Mr. Jones was then read, and gave great satisfaction. His Majesty's Proclamation dissolving the Parlia ment has arrived, and the liberal metropolitan journals are earnest in their calls upon all Reformefs to bury minor differ ences of opinion--and join heart and hand in the cause 1 For our own parts, we will content ourselves with exhorting the electors, both for this borough and for the county, to exert their calm, unbiassed opinions—to judge the future from the experience of the past. And then there can be no doubt but the result of the elections will be favourable to Reform 1— Cheltenham Chronicle. On Tuesday last a most numerous gang of the swell mob attended at White Conduit-house during the meet ing of the electors of Finsbury to hear Messrs. Duncombe and Wakley, and committed several daring robberies. Mr. Abra hams, a constable in his own right, of Islington, who attended the meeting to look after thieves, was himself robbed of 14s. from his trouser's pocket. Several gentlemen complained at the entrance of having been robbed of their watches and pocket-books, containing money, &c. Three notorious fellows, known by the appellations of " the Elephant," " the Lion," and " the Jackall," were seen lurking about the tavern prior to the meeting, attired in fashionable style ; and when the candidates were quitting the place after the meeting, a tremendous rush took place, in which the thieves made a plentiful harvest. NEW YEAR'S EVE.—To end the old year mer rily, and begin the new one well, and in friendship, were popular objects in the celebration of this festival. It was spent among the labouring poi tion of our ancestors in festi vity and frolic by the men, and the young women of the village carried from door to door a bowl, which they offered to the inhabitants of every house they stopped at, singing rude con gratulatory verses, and soliciting small presents. Young men and women also exchanged clothes, which was termed mumming, or disguising ; and when thus dressed in each other's garment., they went from one neighbour's cottage to another, singing, dancing, and partaking of good cheer. EFFICIENCY OF THE NEW POLICE.-011 Tues day night about eleven o'clock, one of the new police disco vered that a house in Paradise-row, Islington, was on fire. He immediately alarmed the inmates, and afterwards sprung his rattle. The other policemen on duty in the Holloway-road did the same, and in a very few minutes about a dozen po licemen were assembled, ready to render any assistance that might be required, and one started off on horseback to pro cure engines from town. Engines were brought from the nearest station (Islington-green) within a quarter of a hour, but owing to the active exertions of the police, assisted by the neighbours, the fire was got under, the first floor only being burnt. The activity of the police on the occasion was deserv ing of the highest praise, for had there been a delay of only a few minutes the,house must have been burnt to the ground. Several of the gentlemen who assisted in extinguishing the fire afterwards thanked the superintendent of the N division for the prompt assistance afforded by the police on the occasion. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT TENBY, SOUTH WALES.—On Saturday evening last, the 27th inst., as the passage-boat which plies between this place and Caldav Island, was returning to Tenby with the labourers of C. Ky naston, Esq. (many of them bringing their hard-earned weekly wages to relieve their families), she was struck at the back of St. Catherine's rock by a heavy sea, and instantly sunk, and, melancholy to relate, every soul on board perished. The ac cident was observed from the shore, and boats instantly put off to their assistance; but long before they could reach the spot the boat and every thing else had disappeared in the foaming ocean. By this dreadful event thirteen men and two young women met a watery grave. The following is a list of tho kufforers ;—Joseph James, John James, William James, Tho mas Thomas, John Harris, Richard „ermyn Joseph Lewis, Thomas James, Thomas Thomas, father, William Thomas, son ? Thomas Thomas, William Jermyn, John Jermyn, Susan Hay, and Sarah Roblin. We would hope that those distressing particulars will meet the eye of the benevolent and the charit able, the friends of the widow and the fatherless, as seven of the former, and twenty-two of the latter have to deplore their melancholy loss, and are left totally unprovided for; and any donation for their relief will be thankfully received by the liitcc9r of Tcnbl, the Rev. Dr. Humphreys, NEW KING'S COUNSEL. The following gentlemen are to be sworn in as King's Counsel at the residence of the Lord Chancellor, Hyde Park-terrace, on Saturday morning :—Mr. Wakefield, Mr. Burge, Mr. Shepherd, Mr. Skirrow, Mr. Temple, Mr. Barber, Mr. Miller, Mr. Spence, Mr. Platt, Mr. Kindersley, Mr. Jacob, Mr. Wigram, and Mr. Fitzroy Kelly. CITY OF EDINBURGH ELECTION. We announce with unfeigned pleasure that two candidates in the Conservative interest have started for the representation of the City of Edinburgh. Mr. Learmonth, who contested the City in May last with Sir John Campbell, has, in conformity with the pledge he then gave, come nobly forward to do his best to rescue the metropolis of Scotland from the domination of the Whig faction. The other candidate, who now appears for the first time on the po litical stage, is the Right Hon. Lord Ramsay, son of the Earl of Dalhousie, a young Nobleman of first-rate ta'.ent, and of the highest promise. To a mind cultivated and refined by classical learning he unites a graceful and fluent oratory, and what is of more importance, sound constitutional views on the great leading questions connected with the melioration of our institutions in Church and State. The addresses of both candidates pledge them to the support of every safe and judicious reform; more especially to use their in fluence in promoting the prosperity of Edinburgh, " and in lightening and equalising the burdens of the community." Under tha altered circumstances of the country, it is impossible that the Electors can hesitate a single moment on whom to bestow their suffrages. What beneficial object could they attain by returning Mr. James Abercromby and Sir John Campbell, who come forward avowedly to offer a factious and uncompromising opposition to the present Administration, whatever their measures may be? or what have these gentlemen done for the citizens of Edinburgh to entitle them to offer a continuance of their public services? Absolutely nothing.—Edinburgh Advertiser of Tuesday—a high Tory paper, which contains a long report of a meeting held by the friends of of the candidates, but for which we have not room. FASHIONS FOR JANUARY. (From the World of Fashion.) MORNING DRESSES.—The real elegance of life is not to be seen by the blaze of wax-light in reflecting mirrors, but at the social fire-side; that happy kingdom, where comfort and refinement share the sway. The most fashionable negligee for this season unite these attributes in an admirable manner. Cachemeres, merinos, and even flannel, are used for robes de chambre ; they are all made excessively full, with a deep collar, covering the neck and shoulders, with very wide long sleeves, confined by a wristband, and showing the cambric chemisette sleeve underneath ; a girdle passes round the waist, but is not tied; the favourite colours in fine merinos are maroon, blue, dark green, chocolate, and various tints of red or orange ; they are lined with coloured sarsenet appropriate to the pattern of the stuff—a Cachmere design on a llaytien-blue ground, has a good effect lined with an orange silk. The style of morning walking dresses very nearly resembles the robe de ehambre. These douillettes are universally worn, and will be so through the winter ; they are worn over a coloured cambric or silk dress, and completely envelope the figure. Stamped satin, merino, and Cacheinere of various patterns and degrees of fineness, are the favourite mate rials. Some very recherche specimens we have seen in velvet lined with satin : in all instances, the outer material should be a rich and rather heavy colour, the lining bright and tranchant. OPERA DRESS.—A white satin skirt covered with a pattern in imitation of blond lace, and trimmed at the bottom with a deep volant ; robe of black velvet, tight corsage cut very low and orna mented with pearl studs, a chain work of pearls crossing the sto macher ; blond mantilla confined at the shoulders by agraffes of gold and pearl. Very short satin sleeves, gold armlets, and hang ing sleeves of black velvet, looped up to the shoulder, and lined wit!l ermine. Ermine boa and small muff; black velvet hat and plume of white feathers. ( From the Lady's Magazine and Museum.) DINNER or. EvENING Ditrss.—Dress of pink satin, the cor sage plain, and fitting tight to the bust, with draperies a la Sevign6 put on. The dress has short sleeves, over which are long full ones of rich blond: the epaulettes and cuffs, which are pointed, are of the material of the dress; the front of the skirt is en tablier, orna mented with wreaths of oak-leaves, from the centre of which, as if fastening the two branches together, depend short cords, finished by tassels representing acorns. Six of these ornaments, increasing gradually in size as they go down, are placed at distances down the front of the dress : two ornament the front of the cotsage. Hat of green velvet. it la Agnes Sorel. The crown is in shape like =the calottes of the hats at present in fashion : the leaf is narrow at back and very broad in front where it is turned up ; two long drooping feathers are placed at the left side. The hat is worn over a net-work a l'antique, of green and gold. The hair is in plain bands. Round the neck is a new-fashioned cravatte, called a caprice; it is of green satin, lined with swan's-down. White kid gloves and white satin shoes. The dress is a redingotte of gros de Naples. BALL Daass.—Dress of white crepe lisse, the corsage plain, the sleeves short, and excessively full, and finished above the elbow with ruffles ala Louis XV. The garniture of the dress consists of roses without foliage, and the tips of ostrich feathers put on in vandyke just above the hem of the dress. A wreath of smaller roses goes round the neck of the dress : pink ceinture. The back hair is in several light braids on the crown of the head, which are encircled by an ornament of jewels and gold. Two immensely high feathers spring from the back of the braids. The front hair, which is excessively parted on the brow, is in full tufts of curls at the sides of the head. White kid 'gloves, finished at top with a puffing of satin riband, erabroidered stockings, and white satin shoes THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In the City, they arc entirely occupied in canvassing for the forthcoming elections, which will take place on next Monday in the City : in the midst of this bustle and confusion, little or no bu s i nes s is thought of at present. Consols, which opened at the price they left off yesterday-9' for the Account—have improved to 924. Spanish, which left off at 534 4, are at present 53% 54. Portu guese, 864 n• HALF-PAST ONE. Foreign information is scarce thought of in the city, with the exception of that for gambling in the funds, and more particularly that from Spain. A report prevailed that an extra courier had arrived from Madrid, with•favourable accounts, which has had the effect of improving the Spanish Securities. Spanish Stock has improved from 534 to 54?,-, Portuguese continues steady at 863 3 ; the other Foreign Stocks continue at the opening prices of this morning. The iraprovemeut of Spanish may be attributed to the publication of the contract for the New Spanish Loan, as well as to the Hebrews having freely purchased in the above security. Consols continue firm at 92 to 3 for the Account. We have received the Dutch Funds of Monday-2i per Cents., 54 ; 5 per Cents., 99g. Consols for Account, 92 to 92i. THREE 0' CL 0 CK. MAGAZINE DAY, BLACKW 0 OD' S MAGAZ INE. Cadell, Strand; An admirable number, and supported mainly by the splendid abilities of Professor Wilson. We trace his versatile pen in the eloquent, thoughtful, and discri minating- criticism on " Spencer ;" in " Audubon's Ornithological Biography," and in the "Noctes,"— which it is now high time should be collected, care fully digested, and published in one or two volumes. Wherever they so make their appearance, we predict they will be the book of the season : and with those who:know how to appreciate wit and imagination, in their highest mood, the book of all seasons. " Frag ments froni the History of John Bull" is clever, but the meaning of the allegory is not sufficiently trans parent in some of the more prominent passages. " Fall of the Melbourne Ministry" is bold and un flinching in its political tone, but not a little sophis tical. " Spencer" is the production of a critic whose mind is so fertile in ideas, and which follow each other in such rapid succession, that it would seem that nothing but the use of short-hand could enable the writer in his penmanship to keep pace with the flow of his thoughts. " A summary of the Times" is a humorous extravaganza, a little too wire-drawn per- haps, but remarkable for the ingenuity of some of its rhymes. We regret, that from our very limited space,- we ore compelled to abridge our notice of this, and other of the Magazines. NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. IL Bentley for H. Colburn, Burlington-street, The " Sketches on Irish Highways" is the first article in this Number. " Gilbert Gurney" is clever— for Hook can write nothing that is not so—but it wants condensation. Had it been half the length it is, it would have been materially improved. The " Confessions "of William Shakspeare" excite .ideas that it is next to impossible not to disappoint. How ever, the writer has clearly clone his best, so deserves lenient consideration. 'We must reserve our extracts for some more leisure day. THE MONTHLY—NEW SERIES. Cochrane and Co. A more varied, more lively, and more interesting number than any which we have looked over for several months past. The opening article on the new Tory Reform Government, is very well written ; cer tainly much better than the one which preceded it on the same subject in the last number. " Passage in the Life of Mr. Watkins Tottle" is a clever opening sketch, which, if followed up in the same spirit, will not fail to please the public. The " Introductory Lecture on Poetry" is a right humourous production, that will attract the attention of readers of all classes. " Au thenticated Narrative of the Author of Lacon," com prises some curious anecdotes of a clever, eccentric, but over-rated writer. Mr. Colton's Lacon is an ingenious bundle of paradoxes. We fear it can lay claim to no higher praise. It is full of assumptions of profundity, but seldom or never pierces below the surface of thought. FRASER'S MAGAZINE. " The Fraserians" is incomparably the best literary embellishment we have yet seen in this Magazine. It is full of spirit and character. The grouping, too, considering the immense number of figures intro duced, is remarkable for its ease and freedom. The likeness of Fraser is inimitable, Irving's is good, Galt's not amiss ; but that of Coleridge is a perfect burlesque on humanity. The man looks as if he were far gone in a fit of outrageous cholic. The three bottles (empty of course) placed before O'Doherty, who is represented in the act of speechifying, is a good idea, but the face of the standard-bearer who—if ever man possessed genuine humour, possesses it to a degree unsurpassed by any other writer of the day— is too staid and thoughtful ; it should show a more grateful and becoming consciousness of the virtues of the beverage before him. The literary explanation that accompanies the engraving, is smartly and tersely written. " The Songs of France" is a continuation of the delightful " Prout Papers," and quite as good as the best of its predecessors. " Notes of a Journey between Paris and Ostend" is as common place as the subject; and the character of the late Mr. Irving is sketched in a manly, and eloquent spirit. We have no space for extracts. THE ASIATIC JOURNAL. Parbury, Allen, and Co. For the first time for several months we are favoured with a political article in the Asiatic Journal, and truth to say, a greater curiosity has not come under our notice for a very long period. The author is of that class of politicians who may be called amphibious—copse. quently never out of their native element in supporting any government. The Whigs were worthy of public confidence while they remained in office, and the Tories deserve to be supported for having succeeded them. One of the most original observations in this document is, that the Whigs having passed several most import ant Acts in the last Session, such as the opening of the trade to India, and the emancipation of the slaves, the Tories being opposed to them when under discus sion, are the most proper persons to carry them into operation I We confess this is a mystery entirely be yond our poor powers of comprehension. Our opinion was, that the acts of the liberal Government, not hav ing yet had a fair trial under their friends, one of the most disastrous consequences to the Empire would arise from entrusting the management of their first operation to their avowed opponents. We thought, and think so still—that the greatness of the change, which is to be introduced in the government of a country, is the great reason why none should be permitted to attempt it, NC - have not its success wholly and absolutely at heart`; and in proportion to the extent of the change, is the imperiousness of the necessity, that no unfriendly , hand should undertake it. The " Bar in India, No. III.," is an exceedingly interesting paper—fully equal to those which preceded it on the same subject. " Oriental Biography" and " Mahommedan Festivals in India," are no less worthy of an attentive perusal. We read both with much pleasure and very considerable profit. We regret we cannot say the same of " the Poetical remains of a late Student at Bishop's College, of which a third specimen is here given. The world is overstocked with verses of this kind ; and for our own part we think the study of Hoole's terminations a much better occupation for boys, than " stringing blethers up in rhyme," to use the fine expressive language of a bard of nature. The critical notices, and the digest of Asiatic intelllg- ence, are equal to any which have hither, appeared in this very useful periodic?;. THE LADY'S MAGAZINE. Dobbs, Page, and Co., Fetter-lane. A beautiful number, embellished with a superb full length coloured portrait of Marguerite De Valois, first wife of Henry IV. of France. Nothing can be finer than the undulating swell of the bosom, which almost invites the touch to attest its reality in warm, living flesh, and blood. The sketch which accompanies the portrait is a respectable piece of biography, of which we would have thought more highly had it been less illustrated by reference to Shakespeare. The writer seems in clined to draw a veil over many of the faults of Mar guerite, and palliates those which cannot be concealed —her adulterous intercourse with the Duke of Guise, and her other indiscretions before her inarrage Henry, who was certainly entitled to her respect, if not her love. With this we do not quarrel ; but,- aftei all, it is but a poor palliation for an adulteress (we like to give crime its real name) to plead, in excuse, that she never loved her husband. Yea, we look upon- this as superadding crime to crime. " Peo ple cannot force their inclinations," it may be said. :We deny this; we know many in -awl ces of the contrary, nor is there any . wowletful obstacle in the way of overcoming vicious inclinations were persons sincere in their efforts to rid themselves of them. The writer again says, that the crimes of M • Vente were those of persons of her state, educa tion, and opportunities, whereas her " virtues were her - own." This is rather a stale form of commen dation. Marguerite's virtues, as well as vices, she had in common with most persons of her ardent tem perament. The proximity of the extremes of good and evil (despite of Lavater, Spurzhehn and the whole of the phrenologists), is one of the most astonishing things in nature. Your merely harmless person can, never become the bane or blessing of society. Such people vegetate—to live is a state of being of which they can have no conception. The " Prisoner of State," by Miss Strickland, the "Mill Church," and the " Maid of Kostac," are all tales of great merit. The first, we should observe, is but the conclusion of one, the first part having already appeared—a practice which we have for some time been in vain endeavouring to discourage. The editors of magazines are not aware what an insipid affair the beiVove-tale is, when divided in this manner. It is, moreover, an act of great injustice to the writer who is liable to be criticized under strongly excited feelings, and very often not the most agreeable ones either. Atid, what is more, all the occasional purchasers and readers of Magazines are thus prevented from looking into such of them as they expect to find filled with half-told tales, and segments of literary Babels, which may not lie finished before the day of doom. The poetry of the present Number is equal to any which has appeared in this beautiful perio dical. The lines headed " Ambition," are particularly fine, and worthy of some of our best living Poets. The subject, too, was as well chosen, as the manner of treating it was judicious. The plates of the " Fashions" for January are really beautiful, and the literary and other notices very well written. THE ANALYST. Simpkin and Marshall, Stationer's-court. This Number opens with a very good paper on- the " Moral Power of the Press," which we have perused with much pleasure. The author does but justice to the Society of Friends, who were certainly among the first, as well as the most strenuous supporters of this power, and of civil and religious liberty, in Europe. Still we think the subject has not been discussed with half the .care and ability which it deserves ; and we shall be very glad to see it again brought forward in a more comprehensive form. The present article lacks every kind of research, and is besides written in the careless every-day style of a Newspaper " Leader " on the same or a similar subject. We do not mean to have • it inferred that many of the articles in newspapers are not equal, and some of them far superior to the usual run of Magazine essays ; but there is, and ought to be, a marked difference in the style, which is not ob servable in the paper before us. The " Lover off Beauty ; or, which will he wed ?" would have been it very pretty tale, had the author chosen to write it in any one language, living or dead. We know not how it is that almost the whole of our magazine writers can express nothing either of feeling, or fancy, or taste describe nothing either in nature or art, without the aide of a foreign idiom. This affectation of learning is becoming insufferable, and we pledge ourselves to Iwo nothing undone to check it, before it has made foal of half the partially educated youth in the United King dom. It is really ridiculous enough to listen to the Parisian denominations of our ladies' head gear, an& to be tormented at every turning with gown..; a la this . , and tippets a la that ; but to bear will a literary pro duction of any kind which cannot express English feelings in the English language, is intolerable. Such , affectation might be borne with more patiently, but that; those who are fondest of interlarding descriptions or their feelings and apparel with bad French, and cr:dia cising works of art in worse Italian, are com:eaanly writers not over-encumbered with a grammatical kainw ledge of their maternal tongue. The pedants w{to) quote Greek and Latin are still less excusable. The best papers in this number are the critic:Ara on art, which are certainly deserving of the 'highest praise. The notices all appear to he f - i-om the same' pen, and are executed in a style which would do credit; to any work. We wish we could persuade the Editor, now that he is commencing a new year, to enliven brio periodical with tales and sketches of a light, humozrro,u.s; character, and which will moreover possess a lazttf. terest. We really wish well to the " AnalyrA," and have pleasure in ranking it among the moPi improving; of the Monthly publications. But ti:le Editor m ight: still do more for it, and must too, if he would obtains for it the circulation to which its criticisms entitle it. THE CHRISTIAN REFORMER. Sherwood and Co., Paternoster-row. We had selected an article, entitled " The E•resent Crisis," from this ably-conducted Dissenting periodi cal, but the press of matter connected wit'A the elec tions, compels us to postpone its insertion till morrow. In the mean time, our readers will, we are sure, be pleated with the following terse remarks ou the " Manifesto," as a specimen of the author's manner :—" His terms are artfully selected, and there is a vagueness in t. l .lern which will allow' of any course of conduct, any shifting and any retro cession. He will give the Dissenters what they have refused, and will refuse them what the late Gr,verry ment was preparing for their acceptance. He over' looks the Irish Church, and has not had time to con' sider whether the English Church needs any reform• The address of the Premier can impose upon no one who is not willing to be. deceived ; and, in truth, there is an air of timidity and distrust about it, which be' trays the penman's consciousness of the. slipperiness and danger of his position."
