Whether it be too bleak for his constitution, which possibly may have been a little enervated by a three years' residence in the mild and sunny clime of the Treasury Bench, we know not ; but it appears to produce the same effect on his nerves that an east wind produces on those of an invalid. His Lordship, never at any time remar kable for mildness or suavity of temper, is now become more irritable and sensitive than ever. He takes fire at look—is anguished to the heart's core by a cheer. H a pp e ;:jng to hear Mr. O'CONNELL say something last night aboli: Conservatives not being the most un likely, of all people iri the world, to be fond of a job, his Lordship fired up, just as if the insinuation had been levelled against himself ! In vai:: the Honour able and Learned Member for Dublin insisted that he " did not attack individuals, but a side of the House ;" Lord STANLEY would not be appeased; but finding that he could make little or nothing of the dispute, he sulkily let it drop, and then proceeded to justify his late change of position. And what, does the reader suppose, is the cause—the momentous cause !—that has induced his Lordship to shift his seat from the Neutral, to the Opposition Benches ? Why, neither more nor less than this—his horror at the cheers to which he used to be subjected, when he sat in the seat of the Trimmer ! Placed where he now is, he thinks that such sounds, " by distance made more sweet," will fall with greater softness on his delicate and fastidious auriculars ; and, therefore, he is resolved for the future to sit among the Conservatives, though in principles he is no more changed than he was when he adorned the Neutral Benches by his presence ! Of all the reasons we ever heard assigned for a statesman shifting his seat in a British Senate, this is by far the most extraordinary. Has Lord STANLEY no ap prehension that the Conservatives will not " cheer him" quite as loudly as the Liberals, when he happens to give a vote against them ? So far as our own ex perience enables us to speak, the " cheers" of one side of the House are quite as annoying as those of the other. What a pity St. Stephen's is not a Quaker's Meeting, for then the sensitive Lord STANLEY might resume his former seat with impunity.

The Bill was prepared and brought in by the indefatigable Member for Mid dlesex, and we cannot but congratulate the House and the country upon the manner in which it was re ceived. In the course of his speech, the Honourable Gentleman was enthusiastically cheered from tha Ministerial and Opposition Benches ; and on the question for the first reading being put, the House was astonished to find its harmony in the affirmative undisturbed, by any audible groanings of the spirit twanging through the nostril of a sanctified Ag newite. No Saint POULTER, nor inspired" GRIES.. LEY rose to rexpress surprise that any person in this " most Christian country" should so far depart from the rigid decorum of the Praise-God-Barebones system of theology, as to prefer the wanton sounds of a violin, or the voluptuous heavings of the bosom of a public singer, to the nasal strains and pectoral groan ings of a veteran wrestler with the flowers of Darkness. In fact, the House has'viry properly deemed it a duty to prevent itself from being changed into a national conventicle ; and we may add that the majority of the Members are men too intimately acquainted with the real interests of religion, to sanction the continuance of a system which, at the best, only sub stituted for gay dissoluteness in the aristocracy, " so lemn vice, stern corruption, and froien, official business like villainy." Of the effects of this system on the people we shall speak presently. Indeed the moralist has only to cast his eyes around him, to discover the blessed consequences of compulsory gloom in the social intercourse of the English peasantry. The Act of George 11. for restraining " music and dancing" was originally passed for a period of three years—Parliament even then, not daring to make it perpetual until it could be known whether the people would submit to it. The Commons proposed its confinement to a circumference of twenty miles around the metropolis ; but so tickled were the Peers with the prospect of cooling the heels of the lower classes, than they laboured hard to have it extended over the whole Kingdom. In the course of his speech, Mr. HUNIE stated, that although in consequence of the growing intelligence and liberality of the residents within and around the metropolis, and the baneful principle of the law itself, this Act had been a dead letter for upwards of fifty years ; yet that the gang of informers who infest the capital, had taken advantage of it, to accomplish the ruin of many highly respectable citizens. We believe that Mr. HUME will find, on a closer inquiry, that he was mistaken in assuming the Act of GEO. 11., to have fallen into desuetude for so long a period as fifty, or even as ten years. Had it ever become a dead letter, we should not now witness the habits of gross and filthy debauchery, so disgusting in the eyes of all foreigners who visit this country. England, Scotland, and Ireland are the only coun tries i❑ the world, in which the populace have been de barred the most innocent amusements and recreations, under the canting pretext of rendering them more religious. In the eyes of those guiding stars of reli- gion, our wise ancestors, cheerfulness was one of the most heinous crimes -of which a poor man could be guilty, and whatever tended to promote it was a stum bling-block proceeding from the Prince of Darkness. Dancing and music, vocal and instrumental, were proscribed as meshes in the huge - net with which the enemy of mankind catches the souls of the saints. And what was the consequence of all these restric tions on the innocent and healty recreations of the people ? The answer is evident to every one who sees our streets crowded with gin-palaces, and haunts of low brutal debauchery. Debarred from the healthy and invigorating amusement of a dance, the middle and lower classes betook themselves, when the business of the day was over, to the tavern, the gaming table, the pot-house, and the beer shop. Instead of cultivating the social affections, each reflected the stern gloom or reckless indifference of the wretches with whom he was compelled to associate. A veil of hypocritical cunning, and mutual dissimulation was drawn over the surface of society—indiscretions were carefully avoided, but crimes of the blackest dye were secretly perpetrated without compunction—and while externally all wore the garb of religious decorum, internally not a feeling remained, save a wish to be mistaken for saints by knaves equally assiduous in their endeavours to deceive others. The Repeal of the Act of GEO. 11. will open the .DIAILS. Amved. Due. Arriv.d. Due. Arrived.

HEINE BROTHERS, CONTRACTORS for the STATE of HAMBURG'S GREAT LOTTERIES, being requested to publish the Scheme of the approaching Sixty sixth Lottery in the English Papers, and to have Tickets on Sale, with Agents in England, beg to state that neither can be done, because it is illegal for the English Newspapers to publish Foreign Lottery Schemes, and for arty Agents in England to sell Foreign Lottery Tickets. On the other hand, they beg to state, as it is NOT illegal far any person in England to PURCHASE Foreign Lottery Tickets, that any person desirous to purchase, on addressing them by mail, will receive a full Scheme, and any desirable infor mation on the subject (Gratis), by return of post. HAMBURG, MAY, 1835. HEINE BROTHERS beg to inform all those who have to remit to them Eight Pounds, that upon receipt of a Ten Pound note, Two Pounds will be returned in gold by re turn of mail. HAMBURG, MAY, 1835. HEINE BROTHERS beg to state that a Ticket of the Sixty-sixth Hamburg Great Lottery, costs, at the first price, Eight Pounds.

The Corporation Bill made good progress last night in the House of Commons, the Committee having got as far as the 55th clause. Clause 56 will be discussed t• night. With a view to facilitate the still further progress of the Bill, Lord J. RUSSELL stated that he should move to-day that the House sit on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, from twelve till three o'clock, and afterwards meet again at five. In the House of Lords last night, in reply to some observations made by Lord DUNCA NNON, the Bishop of EXETER, with more than ordinary indiscretion, thought fit to object to Mr. M'DERMOTT as one of the Irish Commissioners of Public Instruction, because he "had been an industrious advocate, a zealous agitator, and a member of the Catholic Association !" We should have thought a charge of " agitation" would have been about the last the Right Rev. Prelate would have pre ferred against any individual. Where was ever a greater agitator than himself ? Where, one who ever did more to revive the stale old war-cry of "No Popery ?" - Has he forgotten his combustible anti- Catholic pamphlets ? Has he no recollection of his fierce, malignant diatribes against Mr. CANNING, for advocating that very measure which he himself—not withstanding he had opposed it for years with all the weight and venom of a high Churchman's intolerance —afterwards found it convenient to support ? Have all these little peculiarities in his own political career escaped the Bishop's memory ? If they have, we can tell him the country has not forgeitten them ; nor will it now hear without feelings, such as we will not trust ourselves with expressing, a charge of agitation brought against a respectable gentleman, by one of the most notorious agitators that ever wore a surplice. If 'qr. M‘DEnAroTT be unworthy to hold even a subor dinate situation under Government, because in 1827 he was a " zealous agitator" of religious liberty ; how comes it that Dr. Pli IL L POTTS, who at that same period was an equally " zealous agitator" in the cause of religious intolerance, is found worthy to hold a far more onerous and elevated office ? Surely, if the one be unfit to hold a Commissionership of Public Instruction, the other has no right to occupy a place on the Episcopal Bench ! The very same principle that disqualifies M'DERMOTT, acids a thousand-fold to the disqualifications of Dr. PHIL L POT TS. Besides, let it not be forgotten that the former has at least the merit of having been a consistent agitator ; • whereas the latter gave up wholesale, in . 1829, the very cause which he had agitated so fiercely in 1827. Again, Mr. M'DERMOT has long ceased to be an agitator ; while the Right Rev. Prelate, on the contrary, is at this very moment one of the most zealous, fiery, and persevering agitators in Parliament. Is he not, night after night, labouring to get up a " No Popery" yell, appealing to all that is left of in tolerance in the country, and bringing forward charges against Ministers, which arc no sooner made than they are refuted ? If the Right Rev. Prelate knew his own interests, he would make a point of saying as little as possible about agitation. A lecture on the subject from him, is as ridiculous as one from an Ipswich Tory agent on bribery ; or "from my , Lord LONDONDERRY on the wisdom of SOLOMON. The mention of this bright Peer reminds . us of ano ther " mare's nest" which he found last night. He had discovered, forsooth, that Don CARLOS had just issued a decree, to the effect that he, would put to death all strangers who should happen to be taken in arms against him ; but was, as usual, immediately undeceived _ -- • • "000440 .11 1A' .— VAtS n.'"X"4W4alli 7 - = 7 "'"" 9, zrrals.‘- .74!

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Our arrivals this morning are French and Flanders mails; also, a mail from Mexico by the Eclipse, which sailed on the 9th of May from Vera Cruz, and on the 26th of May from Havannah. She brings 400,000 dollars—a part for the Min ing Company. The political news by the above conveyance is of the same description as previously received by the American papers. Santa Anna was proceeding at the head of five or six thou. sand men to attack the insurgents ; but the prevailing opinion was, that affairs would be settled without their coming to blows. We have no continental news beyond what the express from Paris brings from the theatre of war in Spain, which are of a very contradictory nature, and not to be depended upon. THE FUNDS. Both the British and Foreign Markets have a buoyant ap pearance this morning, and business is doing in Spanish and Portuguese Stocks. Consols, which left off yesterday at 911 4 for the Account, opened at the same price, since which they reached 92—at present may be quoted 92 sellers ; Exchequer Bills 27 28 ; India Bonds 7 9 prem. ; Bank Stock 216 ; India Stock 260 261. Some animation prevails in the Foreign Market this morn ing, particularly in Spanish and Portuguese Securities, which have improved. Spanish, which left off 44 43, opened at 454, reached 45k, at present 451. Spanish Scrip maintains the price of 14 discount ; Portuguese 851 86 ; Portuguese Three per Cents., 574 581 ; Mexican 361 I.

IRON PACKET. —Another iron packet, built by Mr.. Fairbairn, of Manchester, was launched at Selby, on Sa turday. CLERICAL- JUSTICES.—The Rev. Mr. Clare, the parson magistrate, who humanely allowed the military to fire on the people, admitted, on his examination, that he has two livings, and resided on neither—that his magisterial fees averaged from 800/. to 1,000/. a-year; and that, when he could rely on the parties, he was in the habit of granting blank summonses, on receiving his fees. Of course he pockets the income of his two livings also. Who performs the duties does not appear. AN APOTHECARY'S BILL.--Ina case tried in the Dublin Court of Commons Pleas on Monday week, an action was brought by an apothecary for medicines furnished and professional services rendered to an aged gentleman of 93 ; the bill was the object of much amusement. The bill of particulars for 3 years' attendance amounted to 4,707/. 155.3 d.; for one of the years alone it was 3,599/.0.5. 3d. ; and one of the months it reached the enormous amount of 485/. 19s. 5d., or an average quantity of physic, &c., daily of about sixteen pounds sterling in value ; as many as eight enemas were charged for in one day ; the number of visits in the bill was 1,703. The Jury found for the plaintiff, 8001. One of the curious facts elicited on the trial was the statement made by a Mr. Lusack, who described himself as having attended one of the Dublin hospitals (Stevens's) for 22 years, and who never yet read an apothecary's bill in his life. A number of men are now employed in Greenwich Park, by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, to ascer tain the nature of the ground in the line of road of the Lon don and Gravesend Railway—should a tunnel be preferred by the inhabitants to the splendid and ornamental design pro posed by the Company, at an expense of 70,0001.—which sum, we understand, has been offered to be placed at the dis posal of the Woods and Forests, in any plan that may be con sidered more ornamental. FAMINE IN ERRIS, COUNTY OF MAYO.-Frorn an authentic source we have discovered that upwards of 6,000 persons, in the barony of Erris alone, have, on an average, but five days provision on hand ; and in that number there are 106 persons who can command but half a hundred of potatoes amongst them, and 300 without any, whose sole dependence is on chance shell-fish and sea-weed, a sample of which we have seen. —Hibernian United Service Journal. ---• CRIMINAL OFFENDERS IN IRELAND. --The fol lowing return shows the number of criminal offenders in Ire land from 1828 to 1834, both inclusive, committed for trial, and the comparative number convicted :—ln 1828, committed 14,683, convicted 9,269 ; 1829, committed 15,271, convicted 9,449 ; 1836, committed 15,794, convicted 9,902 ; 1831, com mitted 16,192, convicted 9,605 ; 1832, committed 16,036, con victed 9,759 ; 1833, committed 17,819, convicted 11,444 ; 1834, committed 21,381, convicted 14,253. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—A very melan choly occurrence took place in a stone quarry belonging to the Marquis of Breadalbane, in the vicinity of Kenmore. Whilst a man was in the act of stemming a shot, the iron needle with which he was working struck fire, and the shot immediately exploded, killing him on the spot, besides seriously injuring four other men.—Ayr Observer. MARRIAGES.—The number of marriages cele brated since the commencement of the present month, in Glasgow and suburbs, far exceeds anything that has occurred in former years. On the evening of the first Friday of June, the demand for vehicles at the respective posting establish ments was much greater than could be met ; and numerous wedding parties were subjected to the most mortifying disap pointments. Carriages could not be had for love or for money in the early part of the evening. The number who have, within the last two weeks, " entered on life," may be stated, at least, at 500. According to a statistical report, lately published by order of the Minister of the Interior of Naples, the popu lation of that city, which, on the Ist of January, 1834, amounted to 358,356, was, on the Ist of January, 1835, reduced to 355,386. The number of births in 1834 was 14,137, while the deaths were 17,107. The diminution of 2,976 in the po. pulation is attributed to an extraordinary epidemic, peculiarly affecting children. The number of marriages within the year was 2,551. means of obtaining a respectable livelihood to hundreds of deserving artists rand amateurs, who are now re stricted from the exercise-of -their talents and industry. It will also materially assist in infusing a healthy and cheerful tone into the mass of English society, particularly among the middling and working classes. There are fec so grossly sensual as to prefer the gloomy atmosphere of the tap : room and the beer-shop, to a social bench on the green, encircled by the young, the interesting, and unvitiated of both sexes, joined hand in hand in a dance to the sound of the violin or the bagpipe. We have received the whole of the Paris papers of Wednesday. The Messager states that M. de TAL. LEYRAND has had another audience of the KING. The conference was long. It is said that M. DE TALLEYRAND, in almost all his conversations with the KING, reproaches him with suffering it to be seen that he takes too much interest in the affairs of Spain.

We need. scarcely recommend these little volumes to the favourable notice of the public, for the title alone will'be quite sufficient letter of recommendation. To all readers, exciting narratives of shipwrecks, and other .maritime disasters, teem with nearly.equal inte rest ; hence no works, from the sixpenny pamphlet to the five shilling volume, have been sought after with greater avidity. Mr. Cyrus Redding, to whom we we are indebted for the work before us, has executed his task with much skill ; his style is plain and for cible, and many of his descriptions show considerable feeling and eloquence. The volumes are a second series, and form a portion of Constable's Miscellany. TEGG'S DICTIONARY OF CHRONOLOGY 7'. Tegg. London. 1835. There is more research, and useful practical know ledge shown in this unassuming volume, which rejects all further praise than that of utility, than in many an imposing octavo which is ushered into the world as a production manifesting prodigious pains-taking and scholarship. As a book of reference it is invaluable to readers of history, and, indeed, is so generally ser. viceable, that we wonder the idea of an undertaking o: the sort has never been projected before. ,ARDNEW S CABINET CYCLORZEDIA, No. LX VIII. Longman, London, 1838. Mr. Thirlwall's History of Greece, the first volume of which is now lying before us, fully sustains the charactir which Lardner's Cyclopedia has acquired, for the accuracy and research displayed in its histo rical epitomes. We fear, however, the author is ex patiating at too much length on his theme, and per mitting his knowledge to run away with him, for at the close of his volume, which contains an unusual mass of reading, we find that he has scarcely arrived at the point from which must of our historians set out. Grecian history is not much worth till we arrive at the times of Tyrtmus ; all, or nearly all, before then is vague and misty, and so mixed up with fable, that it is next to impossible to render it available for any useful purposes. However, all that is to be said'on the subject, Mr. Thirlwall has said, and said well, but we shall be able to give a more decided opinion of his merits as an historian, when he comes down to those periods of Greek history which Mitford has treated with such triumphant success. ROGERS'S POETICAL WORKS, P.m. V. Moxon, London, 1838. The present part (which is the fifth) of this splendid work, contains the last four or five cantos of the poem of Columbus—one of the author's best, though least known—illustrated by a profusion of graceful mina ture embellishments, from designs furnished by Stothart and Turner. Of the exquisite beauty of the majority of these gems of art, we need not here en large, as we noticed them at length, some time since, in The Sun. AN ENCYCLOPIEDIA OP GARDENING. PART XX. Br .I. C.

It will form two thick octavo volumes, beautifully printed, and embellished with upwards of one thousand two hundred handsome wood engravings. Mr. Loudon has given in this Number a list of the books referred to in the course of the work, which occupies no less than sixteen closely printed pages alphabetically arranged—thus shewing the immense labour as well as sacrifice of time which the production of this excellent work must have cost him. At present we shall content ourselves with ob serving that the Monthly issue of this edition is now concluded ; hereafter we may be called upon to enter into a detail of its various and peculiar excellencies. HORSE-SHOE ROBINSON. ar THE lurzrox OP " SWALLOW BARN." 3 Vols. post Bvo. Richard Bentley. This is an historical novel of the school of Scott and Cooper, but it is written by one who has a right to emulate those authors in their particular class, though he is far above a slavish imitation. The scene is laid in the Southern provinces of America during the memorable war of Independence, when the reci procal animosities of the contending parties were fierce and deadly. " The incidents of the war," says the author in his preface, " were frequently of the most picturesque and romantic character. The historian has been too much occupied with the higher and more important relations of that great contest, to bestow much of his notice upon the stirring scenes of personal adventure, of which so many traditions exist in the United States. These may be said to have become the lawful property of our story-telling craft-- and we have accordingly set ourselves, of late years, to take hold of them in good earnest." The subject of the tale is chiefly connected with the fortunes of a young officer in the Republican army, and his trusty companion Galbraith Robinson, better known under his soubriquet of Horse-shoe. This latter personage is the very life of the story ; he is a thorough soldier-- a humourist—a capital trencherman--a resolute fel low, ready to act with decision in the most perilous emergencies, and faithful, at all hazards, to his cause and his friend. As may be expected in a narrative connected with the stirring events of the American War, the pages of the present work are every where alive with exciting incidents—ambuscades, skirmishes, desperate undertakings, disguises, captures, and escapes. Families were divided, friends distrusted each other, the son was not unfrequently arrayed in arms against the father, and spies were distributed throughout the land. Such a state of things, however calamitous to society at the time, is manifestly favourable to the pur poses of a writer of fiction, and the present writer has availed himself to the full of its capabilities. Though the principal scenes are strictly historical, the novelist has interweaved with them a love-story, of which the hero and heroine are Major Butler, of the Whig, or insurgent party, and a young lady (Mildred Lindsay), daughter of a recluse loyalist, who is stimulated against his will to act a more important part in the strife, by the inachinations of an officer in the British army, who, in a feigned name, introduces himself into the peaceful dwelling of Mr. Lindsay. The schemes of this man derive an additional impulse from the attachment he conceives for the person and property of the heroine, and hence his persecution of Butler, the favoured lover, becomes more malignant and unceasing. If Butler possesses a staunch adherent in the doughty Sergeant Robinson, so Tyrrel, his private and political foe, is backed by a trooper called James Curry, a plausible scoundrel with a black and cruel heart. This fellow and Horse-shoe are brought into frequent collision, though never more effectively than in their first encoun ter, when;the former is caught eaves-dropping, at the win dow of the little inn, where the Major and his companion had secreted themselves for the night. Nothing can be more characteristic, spirited, and original, than this in cident. The subsequent night-adventure, at the lonely house of Wat Adair, in which the girl, Mary Mus grave, acts so important a part, will not easily be for gotten ; neither will the scene at Grindall's Ford, where Butler and Horse-shoe are captured by the brutal Habershaw and his gang. The work, indeed, abounds with passages of this stirring nature, which our limited space will not permit us even to enume- rate ; but if what we have said should have the effect of sending -our.readers to the perusal - of the novel it self, we feel confident they will thank us for our re commendation. THE HISTORY OF THE ASSASSINS. DERIVED FROM ORIENTAL SOURCES. RP TILE CHEVALIER JOSEPH VON HAMMER, TRINSLATISIJ FROM THE GEB2I4X, BY OSWILD CIUBLEB WOOD, IF, D, London Smith and Elder. 1835. The lovers of Oriental Literature in this country owe a debt of gratitude to the translator of this work. The rich sources from whence Von Hammer derived his knowledge of the leading events in the second most important epoch in the history of the Moslems, were unknown to many of the most distinguished scholars in Europe, before he presented the Western world with a part of their treasures in the history of the Ottoman Empire, and still more fully in the work before us. His example led the way to other enquirers equally diligent and laborious ; and the result has been that within the last few years the study of Oriental Literature has rapidly progressed in most of the European Uni versities. The perusal of this volume will impress the careful and judicious reader with one important fact-- namely, that up to the present time we have lived in utter ignorance of the very existence of the most striking events in Oriental history. Even now we but catch a glimpse of the immense stores of historical. literature, of which the libraries of the East are th sole depositories. In the last paragraph of his work the author observes :—" In writing this history, we have set two things before us as our obje•:A, to have attain ed which is less our hope than our wish. In the first place to present a lively pictur e of the pernicious influence of secret societies in weak Governments, and and of the dreadful prostitution of religion to the horrors of unbridled ambition. Secondly, to give a view of the important, rare, and unusual historical treasures which are contained in the rich magazine of Oriental Literature." He must be a fastidious reader indeed, who will not acknowledge that the author has attained this double object. In the course of his narrative of the origin, rise, and progress of Ismailites or Assas sins, he carefully and distinctly traces the various causes which contributed to their ultimate greatness. He shows how formidable the smallest number of persons may become in a State when bound together by the ties of secresy, community of interest, and a determination to act in concert for the promotion of any scheme, however much opposed to the will of the community. He points out the fatal influence on the mind of a habit of blind obedience ; and demonstrates, in the most forci ble way, how easily religion may be made an in strument for perverting the feelings, confounding the reason, corrupting the moral sentiments, and hardening the heart. As to Von Hammer's desire to give Europeans an idea of the vast magazine of Oriental Literature, we will merely observe that he does that, even in his notes and. index, to an extent hitherto un attempted by any writer with whose works Englishmen are familiar. We regret that the translator —f or whose labours we are sincerely grateful---was not more careful in the choice of his style, which is occasionally obsctre, and often very inelegant. This must always happen when the translator does not allow himself a requisite de gree of freedom, but confines himself to following the original, word for word. In poetry, translators can not be too literal ; as any liberty taken by the translator is apt to represent the idea in a point of view never intended by the author ; but in his tory this rule will not hold good. Here the translator's first duty is to give the facts as they are before him ; and as there is less danger of falsifying a fact than in misrepresenting or destroying a sentiment, every lati tude, with regard to style, ought to be taken for the purpeene of giving perspicuity to the narrative. Thelollowing account of the internal Government of the " Order of th e A ssass i ns, " is alike curious and . original " The grand master was called Sidna ( Sidney) our lord, and commonly Sheikh al Jebal, the Sheikh, the old man or supreme master of the mountain ; because the order always possessed themselves of the castles in the mountainous regions, both in Irak, Kuhistan, and Syria, and the ancient of the mountains, resided in the mountain fort of Alamut, robed in white, like the Ancient of Days in Daniel. He was neither king nor prince in the usual sense of the word, and never as sumed the title either of Sultan, Melek, or Emir, but merely that of Sheikh, which to this day the beads of the Arab tribes and the superiors of the religious order of the sofis and dervishes bear. His authority could be no kingdom or prin cipality, but that of a brotherhood or order ; European histo rians, therefore, fall into a great mistake in confounding the empire of the Assassins with hereditary dynasties, as in the form of its instit u ti on it was on l y an order like ;hat of the knights of St. John, the Teutonic knights, or the Templars— the latter of these, besides the grand -master and grand-priors, and religious nuncios, had also some resemblance to the Assas sins in their spirit of political interference and secret doctrine. Dressed in white, with the distinctive mark of the red cross on their mantles, as were the Assassins with red girdles and caps, the Templars had also secret tenets, which denied and abjured the sanctity of the cross, as the others did the commandments of Islamism. The fundamental maxim of the policy of both , was to obtain possession of the castles and strong places of the adjacent country, and thus without pecuniary or military means, to maintain an imperium in imperzo, to keep the nations in subjection as dangerous rivals to princes. " The flat part of a country is always commanded by the more mountainous, and the latter by the fortresses scattered through it. To become masters of these by stratagem or force, and to awe princes either by fraud or fear, and to arm the murderer's hand against the enemies of the order, was the political maxim of the Assassins. Their internal safety was secured by the strict observance of religious ordinances ; their external, by fortresses and the poniard. From the pro per subjects of the order, or the profane, .was only expected the fulfilment of the duties of Islamism, even of the most aus-, tere, such as refraining from wine and music : from the de voted satellites was demanded blind subjection and the faithful use of their daggers. The emissaries, or initiated, worked with their heads, and led the arms in execution of the orders of the Sheikh, who, in the centre of his sovereignty, tranquilly di rected, like an animating soul, their hearts and poniards to the accomplishment of his ambitious projects. Immediately under him the grand-master, stood the Dail kebir, grand recruiters or grand-priors, his lieutenants in the three provinces to which the power of the order extended, namely, Jebal, Kuhistan, and Syria. Beneath them were the Dai, or religious nuncios, and political emissaries in ordi nary, as initiated masters. The fellows (Refik) were those who were advancing to the mastership, through the several grades of initiation into the secret doctrine. The guards of the order, the warriors, were the devoted murderers ( Fedavie) and the Lassik (aspirants) seem to have been the novices or lay brethren. Besides this seven fold gradation from Sheikh (grand master,) Dailkebir (grand-prior,) Dai (master,) Refik (fellows,) Fedavie (agents,) Lassik (lay brothers,) down to the profane or the people, there was also another seven-fold gradation of the spiritual hierarchy, who applied themselves exclusively to the before-mentioned doctrine of the Ismailis concerning the seven speaking and seven mute Imams, and belonged more properly to the theoretical frame-work of the schism, than to the destruction of political powers. According to this arrangement, there live, in every generation, seven persons distinguished from each other by their different grades of rank : Ist. The divinely appointed Imam ; 2nd. The proof Hudshet, designated by him, which the Ismalis called Esas, (the seat;) 3rd. The Sumassa, who received instruction from the Hudshet, as they did from the Imam; 4th. The Mission aries (Dai;) sth. Mesuni (the Freed) who were admitted to the solemn promise or oath ( Ahd;) 6th. Mukellebi, the dog like, who sought out subjects fit for conversion for the mis sionaries, as hounds run down the game for the huntsman ; 7th, Mumini, the believers, the people. On comparing these two divisions, we perceive that, according to the first, the in visible Imam, in whose name the Sheikh claimed the obedience of the people, and in the second, the guard, of which he made use against the foes of the order, are wanting ; but that, in other respects, the different grades coincide. The proof was the grand-master; the Sumassa, the grand-prior; the fellows were the freed; and the dog-like the lay-brethren ; the fourth and seventh, that is the preachers of the faith and the be lievers, the cheating missionaries, and the duped people, are the same in both." WOEFUL EFFECTS OF CORPORATION REFORM. —The subordinate tools who hold situations under the Corpo ration of Boston all calculate upon resigning office on the 25th of October—one of the most facetious of the small fry said the other day the going out of office would be nothing, if Lord J. Russell's accursed Bill did not hold out a certainty of keeping them out when they are out. Another said he might have been a respectable man now if be had not joined the corporation in his oung days. During the renowned days of civic gluttony which were put a stop to by the " Toll Bill," and the " Reform Bill," it has been calculated that upwards Of 20 butts of port and sherry found their way down the pipes of the two oldest officers of this corporate body 1 Twenty butts would be a stock not to be despised by the most re spectable commercial inn in the county.—Bosto3 Gazette, MAGAZINES-CONTINTJED. TOURIST'S MAGAZINE. Virtue. London, 1835. One of the cheapest and niost entertaining o f the minor periodicals, full of light tales, agreeable snatches of poetry, and anecdotes calculated pleasantly to pass away an idle half-hour. MAGAZINE OF DOMESTIC ECONOMY, No. l. Orr. London. 1835. Like all first Numbers, this is got up with great care, and as it is filled with useful directions for the re• gulation of domestic establishments, and by so doing, appeals to a large class of the community, we think it bids fair to become a favourite with the public. MANUAL OF ENTOMOLOGY. No. VI. ehurton, London, 1835. The work before us is a translation from the German of the celebrated Entomologist, Dr. Herman Bur• meister, and furnishes us with many curious and novel particulars respecting the natural phenomena o f the insect tribe. ARBORETUM BRITANNICUM; No. VII. Longman, London, 1835. Another of Mr. Loudon's useful publications, giving accounts of the hardy trees of Britain, their propaga' tion, culture, and management, and illustrating these accounts with some very graceful pictorial designs. DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE. Simphin and Marshall. This Number contains a very clever article on the subject of establishing a system of Poor Laws i n Ire' land, which we cordially recommend to the considers' tion of the Legislature. The writer is particularlf happy in his exposition of the causes of much o f the lawless and brutal outrage, which reflects the tharactet of cruelty and bloodthirstiness upon the T r i s h pea' santry. He says--" The proposal of it jaw, implies its correlative, a dereliction of duty; and it would be hard to imagine such a dereliction more stroogli marked than in the instance of many of the gentry of Ireland, who are either willingly expatriated, or five at home in palaces, indifferent to the utter Wr e tched. ness of the countless thousands whose lot has been case by the Creator upon the land on which they were born, while' their drawing life from its produce has been left by tht laws of man to depend upon Me ca' price of individuals. Here may be seen the able' bodied Workman labouring all day for that which can' not satisfy the demands of nature—pe r h aps returning to his starving family only t o say , '7 would have toiled to earn you bread, but could no tvherefind one willing to employ tne--perhaps driven by madness to the commission of outrage, or to seek oblivion , of hie misery in Me fatal facilities offered to intemperance; then, with spirit and constitution alike broken, wasting away under the ejects of indigence, until the grave receives the indirect victim of starvation, and his fa' mil t ' wander forth to live upon the precarious con' tributions of those who are almost as Poor as them' selves." Such, in fact, are the real causes of Irish beggar!' and brutality ; and Anthony Poplar is forgiven a long account of political offences, with which we were about to charge him, for having the honest mall' liness to state them thus clearly, broadly, and forcibly Let the Irish press do its duty, without regard to what are called the interests of any party ; l e t the real condition of the Irish poor be placed in juxta-position with the hypocritical canting of knaves and demagogues, about keeping alive so• cial affections, gratitude, and a hundred other phrases intended to set off the spiritual consolation tended to be drawn from the blessings of beggary—' let those whose business to instruct the multitude re fleet on the sufferings of their starving countrymen as evils which afflict men, rather than as the merited degradation of a sect, and we will soon have it in our power to announce the dawn of a brighter and better day for the indigent poor of Ireland. We must hear no more of the efficacy of appeals to prOmiscuous charity—no more of the munificent gifts of the Irish aristocracy, and the all-sufficiency of church and chapel-door collections for the relief of a starving pea' santry. The Irish gentry have had the country—its liberties—the choice of its laws—and its institutions, social, religious, and political, committed to them for period exceeding two hundred years, and now we ask what have they done for it ? They have made it land proverbial for its ignorance, its beggary, and its demoralization. There are several other excellent articles in the July Number of this periodical. The second sonnet, in the verses entitled " Sylva," embodies an idea4o° which we shall not be surprised to find many pens exercised. We wonder did it ever forcibly re c ur to Coleridge?. To Wordsworth we know it to be fami liar. The'following stanza in the lines addresied to II child gathering flowers in the . College Park, is simple and touching :--- " What (lost thou in our learned bowers?' Heads may be wise when hearts a: e breaki And happier s c i ence thi ne than ours,'`"i,„ For thou hast found that we are seeking '‘, Ah ! would our midnight lamp could bless . Us with thine art of happiness ! Ah ! would its care and toil of thought Could teach what thou hast learn'd untaught j» -• Mr. O'Brien's Chapter of College Romance has again disappointed us. The present tale is but a different version of the first. That rather suspicious denizen of St. Giles's, Terence O'Ruark, has extracted some capital passages from his diary of the last month. The reviews of Coleridge's " Table Talk," and An' ster's " Faust," are both well-written, although in many passages our opinions are directly opp ose d to those of the Reviewer. This Number is more varied and generally interesting than the last, and this is all that is wanted to render the " Dublin University Magazine " equal to any monthly periodical now published.
