LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 21, 1835. The Municipal Reform Bill was read a third time last night in the House of Common 3, and passed. This great measure has now to undergo the fiery ordeal of the Lords, who have already pretty broadly intimated their intention to pounce on it, tooth and nail, and tear it into a thousand fragments. Pre viously, however, to their grand attack, they will try what is to be done by intrigue and delay ; hence the proposal of the Earl of DEVON last night, that " a Committee should be appointed to inquire into all the facts and circumstances under which Mr. HOGG's protest was framed "—a prvpubal which, though it came to no definite conclusion, may yet be looked on as an omen of ill import to the Bill. It is, in fact, a straw thrown up to show which way the wind blows. Under these untoward circumstances, it is some con solation to know that the Ministerial measure will receive the support of Lord GREY. All the moral and political influence which this high-minded patriarch of Reform can bring to bear in its behalf, will be zealously put forward. Is not this proof positive that the Bill can have no such injurious republican tendency as its opponents would fain attribute to it ? Were it th unconstitutional measure that Sir R. VYVIAN declared it to be, who would be more uncompromising in his hostility than Earl GREY ? His Lordship is no visionary. He is no enthusiast, to be seduced and led away by the last new political fashion. Far other wise. His long and chequered public career, of up wards of half a century, triumphantly establishes the fact, that in all his reforms he has had an eye to the great principles of the Constitution. Sir R. VYVYAN'S chief objection to the Bill seems to be that it disrobes Aldermen. On this branch of his subject he was quite pathetic last night, in the House of Commons ; and talked of the dig nity and worth and wisdom of these civic aristocrats, in a way that, were there any gratitude among them, should procure him, between this and next October, the freedom, in a gold snuff-box, of half the Corpo rate towns in the kingdom. The Hon. Baronet pro fessed to be more especially horror-struck at the idea of the Lord Mayor's State-carriage being dispensed with, which he felt convinced would be the case, the instant the revolutionary Corporation Bill came into full operation. The sight of this glorious equipage, he observed, was one of the chief stimulants to exer tion on the part of the Cockney apprentices, who very naturally hoped that one day or other they would be rich and dignified enough to take the air in it themselves ; but if they were no longer permitted to feast their eyes on the spectacle of its mag nificence, of course they would no longer feel any inducement to work ; and thus the me tropolis would , overflow with lazy, unambitious ope ratives ; industry would be at a discount ; trade would become paralyzed ; George Barnwells would abound in every street and alley ; and all because the State carriage was consigned to the pawnbroker's or the auctioneer's, instead of being allowed to waddle, at a duck's pace, down Cheapside, with an enormous Lord Mayor and a. still more enormous sword stick ing oft: of the window, on the ninth day of every , November I This, it must confessed, is an awful in novation on the habits of the good old times. Still we by no means apprehend that it will produce the disas trous consequences which the Hon. Baronet's line of argument would . seem to imply. We can no t, f or _ the e of us, see the connection that exists between civic in dustry and the civic State carriage ; but were we once as completely satisfied on the point, as Sir R. VYVYAN appears to be, and were we, like him, a Member of the Legislative Senate, we should feel it our duty to move that a Bill be brought into Parlia ment, for the express purpose of providing for the better protection of the LORD MAYOR'S State-car riage ; and that it be allowed, as heretofore, to run on all great occasions, in order that industry and ambition may thereby receive a stimulus I But enough of the Hon. Baronet and his speech, which is so utterly ab surd, as scarcely to merit even a passing notice. The House of Commons having, to its immortal honour, passed a measure of national reform greater in its extent, and more important in its consequences, than any recorded by the pen of the historian, now proceeds to the consideration of another, on the success of which depend the peace and welfare of a large portion of the Empire. The Irish Church Reform Bill goes into Committee to-night, and is to be op posed by all the power of the Tory faction. Sir RO BERT PEEL has long since formally announced his intention to move that this Bill be divided into two, — that the portion of it which relates to the new adjust ment of the tithe system should form one Bill, and that whicli relates to the future regulation of the Church Establishment, and the appropriation of its surplus funds, another. By this happy arrangement, the wily Baronet would be rescued from the painful necessity of opposing those parts of the measure which he approves, it being impossible for him to assent to what he and his party nickname the alienation of Church property. That there is the least chance of such a motion being carried no one can for a mo ment believe, who considers that the House of Com mons has already solemnly pledged itself not to discon nect the appropriation of the superabundant revenue from the settlement of the tithe question. Sir ROBERT knows well enough that all attempts to alter this de termination of the House are utterly vain, but he knows also that there are certain forms, which, for the sake of what is called consistency, must he gone through. By his former ill-advised course, in staking the existence of his Administration on the rejection of the appropriation principle, he is reduced to the ne cessity of opposing it, or of forfeiting his reputation for public principle—an alternative perplexing enough to ordinary men, but not so to one who has expe rienced the effects of actually carrying, with an un changed mind, through the House of Commons, a ()Teat measure which he had all his life opposed, and of undertaking to carry, through the same House, those Reforms which he had denounced as the destruction of the Monarchy, and the bane of the country. The man, we say, who, after all this expe rience, still stands in need of a guide to direct him to the path he ought to follow, should leave politics, and betake himself to some other trade. We have so often expressed our opinion of the jus tice and necessity of such a measure as that which his Majesty's Ministers have proposed to heal the wounds of Ireland, that it is unnecessary for us to say anything on that subject at present. The very men who, to serve their own selfish purposes, are now leagued together against it, acknowledge that a radical change must be made in the ecclesiastical system of Ireland—in that system to which all her evils may be traced. Yet in the blind fury of party zeal, they would not hesitate to plunge the country into the horrors of a civil war, rather than allow their political opponents the merit of having devised and executed an effectual plan for the remedy of those grievances which they and their wicked policy have occasioned. If we wanted any proof of the insincerity of the Tory faction, in their opposition to the Irish Tithe Bill— any proof of the facility with which they can, when it suits their purposes, strain at a gnat and swallow a"camel—we need only look at the main ground of their opposition to the present Bill. This is the shock which would be given to the security of property by divert ing the funds now devoted co ecclesiastical purposes to general education. Now let any sober-minded man look at that portion of the Bill of which they approve—the tithe portion ; and say if, after conced ing the right of the Legislature to do what is there proposed to be done, and also the necessity of its being done, he can see a shadow of reason for any alarm, lest the rights of property should be endan gered by adapting the revenues of the Irish Church to her wants, and applying the surplus to the moral improvement of the people of Ireland. The whole of the Paris Journals of Sunday have been received. The Indicateur of the 16th inst. an nounces that on the day before, a Spanish Cabinet Messenger passed through Bordeaux on his way to Paris. When he left Madrid, which was on the 12th, the capital enjoyed perfect tranquillity. The QUEEN REGENT had just set out for La Granja. In every vil lage through which the courier passed the report was spread of the defeat of the Carlists at Mondragon. The French Journals contain some severe strictures on the conduct of England and France, with respect to the exclusive privilege of Russia to navigate the sea of upon which the bulk of their Conservative fellow subjects feel a lively interest. To such men we refuse our sympathy and our support. We fell that they are cumberers of the ground, and it is our duty to tell them that they are so. We know that they occupy the places which, but for them, would be occupied by more diligent and valuable persons, and it is our duty to the Conservative cause to admonish them, that, if they will not henceforth be more industrious and effective than they have been, the best thing which they can do for that cause is to retire altogether from public life. The day has its bu siness, and it is business of such a nature as cannot be discharged by sluggards. The motion of Mr. Praed was defeated by a majority of only 26. It was a motion in which every man in England whose feelings are not embarked in the movement must have warmly sympa thized. And yet upon this occasion there were sixty Conservative Members of the House of Commons absent. Had these sixty, or half their number, been present, how important a triumph would have been achieved for the Conservative cause. Men ought not to take seats in the House of Commons in times like the present in the idea of enjoying their otium cum dignitate. The pledge of hard service and close atten dance is implied in the very fact of their becoming, candidates to represent any portion of their fellow subjects, and the stern coercion of the Whig and Ra dical press compels the Members on their side of the House to redeem the pledge. We have been too gentle in this matter, and have thus permitted our opponents to gain an advantage. But the error must be amended. —Morning Post. PRICKS Di .

The Garde Nationale admits that the cholera has re-appeared at Marseilles, but it invites the people to lay aside their apprehensions, which seem to be very great. From the 11th to the 12th there were 105 new cases, and 82 deaths, at Toulon. The Semaphore, under the date of 'the 14th of July, says :—" By a telegraphic despatch of to-day, General Burmann announces that the disorder seemed to be abating at Toulon." The physicians thought it was not so intense. The whole of the French Journals of Sunday con tain the following official bulletin, copied from the Journal de Paris of Saturday night : " Don Carlos and Eraso arrived, on the 13th, before Puente la Reyna, and caused trenches to be opened before it by pea sants. The garrison made a sortie on the 14th, took a mortar that had been mounted on the preceding day, and killed the artillerists who had manned it, as well as the Colonel of artil lery of the Carlist army. The besiegers retired from before the place. Cordova arrived on the same day at Lasaga, com ing from Viana, and was to have occupied Tafalla and Puente la Reyna on the 15th. Contrary to all the reports in circula tion for some days, it appears that the affair of the Bth was without importance." There is no other intelligence of the slightest im portance in the French Papers. German Papers of the latest dates have just been received. In the Second Chamber of the Hungarian Diet, during the sitting of the 23d of June, the pro posal respecting the freedom of speech at the public sittings, was adopted, and immediately transmitted to the Chamber of Magnates, which ordered it to be read without delay. The Emperor of AUSTRIA and the King of PRUS SIA, have conjointly expressed themselves opposed to the permanence of the Russian camp at Kalisch. This is by no means agreeable to the Emperor NICHOLAS, who regards it as the first indication of a determination to check him in his career of conquest. The Holy Alliance is, therefore, in good earnest, on the eve of dissolution. We find the following important extract from a let ter written in Greek, in the supplement to to the Allgemeine Zeitzlng of the 14th of July : " PATRAS, JUNE 10.—Well, then, we have entered upon a new epoch, and wonder that we have not a new heaven and a new earth, and that all remains just as it was before. Could it well be otherwise? Can the will of a youth, however noble, change by magic the afflictions which oppress us into joy, and remove in an instant the discontent, the hatred, the distress of the country and the people ? Nay, say some, we are worse off than before, for we have lost the hope which formerly sup ported us; when we saw the proceedings of the Regency, its ne gligence and helplessness. Then we used to say, Patience, wait a little till the King ascends the Throne. Now he has as cended the Throne, and we fear that what has been done will be covered with the royal purple, and what we have found to be prejudicial to us will be sealed by the Councillors, its authors, with the Royal Seal. The President of the Regency has become President or Chancellor of the Kingdom. The office of the Regency is transferred into a Chancery, in addi tion to which, or above it, there is a Cabinet, but in what re lation to the Chancery we do not.know. We only see ap pointments made to the Chancery and the Cabinet, and that the head of both is the same Statesman, who has hitherto go verned Greece in the King's name, according to his own no tions; and who, in his twofold capacity of Chancellor and head of the Cabinet, must of course take care that the former Go vernment be not put to shame, and convicted of incapacity, or called to account by the Government that has succeeded it. " What is the impression that all this makes ? The Ist of June was everywhere a day of rejoicing in Greece, out of af fection for the good young Monarch, who has truly Greek sen timents, and earnestly wishes to promote the welfare of the country and the people. Then came the proclamation sent to us from Athens. We read it, and endeavoured to understand it word for word, and are still studying it. We are rejoiced to see in it, through the unhappily rude and ungrammatical style, the noble and laudable sentiments of the King, and those who have read it in German can affirm with me, that in that lan guage it is clear, except in one passage. But it was translated by the King's German Secretary, instead of being given to a native Greek, a perfect master of the language. " And what do you expect ?" you will ask. What we before expected, and will obtain :—the dismissal of foreigners, a National Assembly, and ar account of the expenditure of the public money since October, 1832 ; then the union of the King with our Church and Constitution—and by this we do not understand a vain phantom, but a series of laws on our most important inte rests, with security for their observance ; that is to say, a gua rantee of what we have fought for, and acquired, with an almost total ruin, our rights to the possession of the national property on a reasonable indemnity to the Treasury, our claims to an equitable indemnity for the demands of the Go vernment, a share in the legislation, and a control over the Administration. We ask, therefore, nothing new, but only what we had, what we too painfully missed under the Regency to its prejudice and ours, and what we desire not to miss under the King to the still greater injury of himself and us ; for, believe me, Greece, after the experience it has had during the Regency, can less than ever be governed arbitrarily, without being exposed to new catastrophes. Whether the attempt to govern it otherwise may not lead to fresh difficulties and dangers is indeed a question. The vessel of the State (thanks to the uuskilfulness of its pilot) has been steered in such a manner that it may run upon Scylla to escape Charybdis. Un happily, whether the three points above mentioned would be useful, cannot now be discovered ; the people believe it, and are so intent on obtaining them that they must and will be satisfied. It would grieve me and all friends of the country if the Government should hesitate any longer. We do not want a Government led by popular opinion, and therefore weak, but one that shall take the lead of it, and therefore be strong. Words will no longer suffice. The same things were promised us 30 months ago, and we are not convinced the Chancery of the King will do what that of the Regency either would not or could not do. Much alarm, nay, conster nation, has been caused by the release of Colocotroni and Pluputus. If there were political reasons for opening their prison doors, they, and their friends released with them, should have had their imprisonment changed to temporary exile, the duration of which should have depended on their conduct. Now the party has recovered its organs, its chiefs will strengthen it by every discontent, and prepare a new re action. We have the same opinions and complaints from Syra and Roumelia ; the same fears that the new Government will prove to be only a continuation of the preceding. God protect Greece and its King." THP SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 21, 1835 THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TIVEL YE 0' CL CK. A Montreal paper three days later than last received, dated 27th June, has arrived, from which we copy the following, from Quebec : " We have undoubted authority for stating that a de spatch from Lord Gldnelg, his Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies, dated Downing-street, May 6, 1835, has been re ceived by the Governor-in- Chief, signifying to his Excellency that Lord Glenclg having availed himself of all the resources at his command for becoming fully acquaint"d with the state of the public mind in Lower Canada, and with the position in which circumstances of peculiar difficulty halo placed the Go vernor-in-Chief, in relation to the House of Assembly, —the result has been to convince him (Lord Glenelg) that he shall best consult the public interest, by apprising his Excel lency that his administration of the affairs of Lower Canada must be considered as finally terminated." The arrivals this morning are one French mail, and one Ham bro' of yesterday, with one arrival of ship letters from New York ; also there is an American packet ship arrived, but of the same date as the last advices. THE FUNDS. Consols in the early part of yesterday were on the im provement, but towards the afternoon they receded from 901- to 901- for the Account, and op ene d thi s morn i ng a t 90a 4, with little doing. Exchequer Bills, 29 31 ; India Bonds, 10 12; Bank Stock, 2163. The Foreign Market continued during the whole of yester day without animation; and the following are the quotations of this morning :—Spanish Bonds, which left oil' 491- 4, opened at the same price. Spanish Scrip left off 101 opened the same. Portuguese left off 903- 91, opened the same. Three per Cents., 60i ; Colombian, 361 371- ; Mexican, 364 37i; Dutch, 21 per Cents., 54i ; not a bargain of consequence done as yet. The express from Paris brings no prices of the French Funds, it being of Sunday's date, but communicates favourable information from the theatre of war in Spain. It appears that the Carlists have lost their charm since the death of their great leader and their marshal at Bilboa, and retreat at the sight of the Queen's troops. HALF-PAST ONE. We have received the following extract of a letter from Vera Cruz, of the recent date of June 1 :—" The affairs of Zacatecas are entirely finished, by the Government troops hav ing wholly destroyed the militia, and the former having marched into the aforesaid capital, where Santa Anna has es tablished his head-quarters at present. General Alvarez has surrendered in the South—thus the power of the present Go vernment has greatly increased. The Lyra packet is to sail on the 4th June, for England. Consols, which were during the morning 90f 3 3 , for the Ac count, have improved to 90i Exchequer Bills, 29 31; India Bonds, 11 13 ; Bank Stock, 215. 1 ;.

It is a remarkable coincidence that during the hours in which Dr. Reid Clanny was giving his evidence before the Committee of the House of Commons, upon the subject of ac cidents in coal mines, the dreadful explosion at Wallsend took place.—Shields Observer. Mn. ABERCROMBIE.--The present speaker of the House of Commons was a pupil at Macclesfield School, where he was entered in July, 1784. He was known at the school as Abercrombie minimus.—Manchester Guardian. COACH ACCIDENT.—On Friday morning as the Phcenix coach had just started, the fore.axletree suddenly broke, and the coach immediately went over on the off-side ; one gentleman, an outside passenger, had his leg dreadfully fractured by the coach falling on it ; amputation being fonud necessary, the operation was shortly afterwards performed— and the patient, we are happy to learn, as yet shows every symptom of doing well.—Dover Chronicle. THE SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—These gardens were yesterday crowded with company to cele brate what Is called a juvenile fete. The band of the Cold stream Guards performed some beautiful peices of music, and, during the intervals of their performance, the company visited the lions and tigers, &c. The great lion of the day was, how ever, Mr. Green, who ascended in his balloon for the two hundredth time. The balloon which was a very large one, and was inflated to the full extent of its dimensions, under the directions of the engineers of the London Gas Company, rose majestically from the gardens about half past six o'clock, amidst the admiration and hurrahs of the beholders. It rose in al most a perpendicular direction to a great height, and hovered for a considerable time over the south-east end of the metro polis, when, owing to the clearness of the atmosphere, it was seen from almost every part of the town. This ascent con cluded the amusements of the day, which were well got up. The fete will be repeated to-morrow. CLOSE PACKED.—The inspectors of a District Visiting Society are said to have lately found in Little White Lion -street, St. Giles's, a house, the internal area of which is only 12 feet by 24, containing nine small rooms, occupied by no less than eleven men, thirteen women, and sixty-nine children, making in all ninety-three. DRURY-LANE.--MT. Russell took his benefit last night, on which occasion The Hunchback was performed. Mr. Knowles made his first appearance since his return from America, and was received with the most enthusiastic greet ings. Having been called for most rapturously at the con clusion of the play, Mr. Knowles came forward and expressed his thanks for the very kind and flattering reception they had given him. He then retired amid continued plaudits. The house was well filled. THE HARVEST.—NearIy all the hay in the west of Yorkshire has been gathered in in excellent condition, and the crops are represented as being very heavy, as far exceeding the crops of last year, as they exceeded those of preceding years.—Leects Intelligencer. PARLIAMENTARY S UMMARY. In the Loans, last night, a motion was made (but subse quently withdrawn) by Lord TEYNHAM, for various Returns of convictions in Kent, since the Poor Law Amendment Act had been in operation. The Marquis of CAMDEN corrected some of the statements which had fallen from the Noble Mover. There was some conversation on the subject of the Municipal Reform Bill, and the rejection of Mr. Hogg's protest. On the motion of the Marquis of CLANRICARDE, the second read ing of the Roman Catholic Marriages Bill was postponed. His Lordship proved the propriety of the apppointment of Mr, M. Dermott as one of the Commissioners. of Education in Ireland. The Bishop of EXETER persisted in maintaining that a speech which the individual in question had spoken long before his appointment, afforded grounds of disqualification and exclusion from employment. Lord MELBOURNE, in answer to a question put by Lord GLEN GALL, said that it was not the intention of Government to advise the renewal of the Irish Coercion Bill ; and that a measure, based on a Report of the disturbed state of Queen's County, made by a Committee of the House of Commons in 1831 and 1832, would be substituted. The Seamen Enlist ment Bill was read a second time. The Report of the Com mission of Inquiry into the Post Office was brought up, and ordered to be printed. In the COMMONS, on the motion of Mr. PATTEN, the Reports of the Committee, now sitting, on Orange Lodges, was ordered. The first Report was then presented, and a debate full of interest, and pregnant with instruction, followed. The Duke of CUMBERLAND retained and authorized Mr. Sergeant JACKSON to argue that his Royal Highness had been condemned in error. Warrants (said the Learned Sergeant) for the for the formation of Orange Societies were now never granted without consent at the Horse Guards. Mr. Sergeant JACKSON, in conclusion, was understood to state, that he was not instructed to deny that certain warrants had been signed by his Royal Highness as Grand Master, before Orange Lodges had been prohibited by the House, but he had never issued or caused them to be issued since ; and if they had been circulated it was done without his consent and without his know ledge. Mr. GRATTAN but conveyed the sense of the House wh2n he said that on a matter so vitally important as thr: then before them, the whole subject should be well sifted, and a complete investigation gone into immediately. After some observations on the Scottish University Bill from Sir R. PEEL and Mr. BANNERMAN, the latter Hon. Member I remarking that he had incurred some odium in Scotland from a mistaken zealotry for promoting the union of the Universities, the Bill was postponed. In relation to the expiry of the Irish Coercion Bill in August 1, Lord J. RUSSELL announced to the House, that it was not the intention of the Government to renew it. Notice of motion was given for two Bills to be brought in by Lord MoaraTtr, one for the better suppression of Local Disturbances ( Ireland) ; the other regarding the Po lice ( Ireland). The Order of the Day for the third reading of the Municipal Corporation Bill was then moved by Lord J. RUSSELL. Sir R. VYVTAN presented a petition from Bristol against the Bill, and contended that Ministers were going to sacrifice the sacred rights, the vested interests, &c., of the honest, incorruptible freemen of British boroughs. The Hon. Member prudently abstained from dividing the House, and the Bill passed without any division whatever. Sir R. INGLis, Mr. S. R. LUSHINOTON, Mr. SCARLETT, Mr. M'LEAN, Mr. BORTHWICK, Sir J. R. REID, and Colonel SIBTHORP, all spoke against the Bill, characterising it a measure of spolia tion, an attempt to introduce republicanism, a destruction of that Conservative body which a Corporation always formed ; that the independent freemen were most unconstitutionally deprived of their ancient and most valuable privileges, &c., &c. One of these Hon. Members predicted the predomi nancy, when the new•registry was made, of aristocratical and monarchial principles in the House. Mr. GROVE PRICE made his maiden speech on the same side of the question. He had been returned by freemen—he, therefore, would speak upfor freemen. The House manifested the most unequivocal symptoms of impatience during the delivery of the Hon. Member's speech. Mr. O'BRIEN'S motion to give two representatives to the county of Cork, in lieu of Stafford, was lost ; as was also another motion connected with the Stafford Disfranchisement Bill, made by Mr. BULLER. The Postage Bill, with a rider to regulate Packet Postage, was passed. ROLLS' COURT-(THIS DAY.) His HONOUR the MASTER of the ROLLS took causes to-day, but nothing of any public interest came before the Court. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) MORGAN V. SEWARD. The part heard arguments in this case, were resumed, and His HONOR, without calling upon the Solicitor-General to reply, ordered the injunction to be dissolved, and directed actions to be brought to try the rights of the parties. Our readers will recollect that the application in this case was on behalf of Messrs. Sowards, to obtain the dissolution of an injunction granted to the plantiffs, restraining them from manufacturing paddle-wheels upon a certain principle, which the plaintiff contended was an infringement of a patent which he had obtained. DENT V. BENNETT. This was an application on behalf of the plaintiff, Mr. Dent of Appleby, to extend the common injunction restraining the defendant Mr. Bennett, from proceeding in the action at law. The facts of the case were shortly these :—the suit was in stituted by the plaintiff, Mr. Dent, as the executor of his uncle Mr. Jonathan Dent of Winterton in the county of Lincoln, for the purpose of setting aside an alleged agreement, made in September 1829, by which the defendant, who is a surgeon residing at Barton, agreed at all times to give his medical and surgical advice to Mr. Jonathan Dent during the remainder of his life (he being then between 80 and 90 years of age), in consideration of the sum of 2.5,000/. to be paid at his de cease. By the agreement, Mr. J. Dent directed that that sum should be paid by his executors out of his personal estate, within six months after Ibis decease, ,independent of any will that he had or might make. The testator died in August, 1834, and in J une i n th e p resen t y ear t h e d e f en d ant b roug h t hi s ac tion for the purpose of compelling the paythent of the money. To stay the trial of that action was the object of the present application. Mr. KNIGHT, Mr. WRIGHT, and Mr. BETHELL, appeared in support of the application. Mr. G. RICHARDS opposed it. His HONOR thought that the object of the motion should be granted, a n d or d ere d accordingly, observing that the effect of the agreement was to make the testator accessory to his own murder.

EDINBURGH REVIEW. No. CXXIV. Longman and Co. London. 1835. If the first article in this Number be not the pro duction of Mr. Macaulay, we know not to whose pen to assign it. The theme is Sir James Mackintosh's History of the Revolution, and never was theme better illustrated. It has been produced with evident facility— currente cala2no,—as is always the case when one writes from a full mind. The style, too, is singularly brilliant and forcible ; fertile in allusion ; graphic in description ; abundant in details ; and rich beyond measure in a knowledge of the nzinzttice of that portion of history of which the Reviewer treats. This splen did disquisition opens with a character, drawn by a friendly, but not too flattering hand, of the late Sir James Mackintosh ; it then proceeds to point out the numerous mistakes committed by the gentleman who has been appointed to complete his history, which was left unfinished at the period of his death ; and con cludes with a sketch of the Restoration and the Re volution, which, for its ease and vivacity of manner, strength of colouring, and still more, for its happy ad mixture of matter-of-fact reasoning with philosophical speculation, is superior even to Robertson's Historical Summary in the introduction to his best work, Charles the Fifth. 'We must give an extract or two from this gem. Speaking of the progress of political science, the Reviewer says— " We shall not, we hope, be suspected of a bigoted attach ment to the doctrines and practices of past generations. Our creed is, that the science of Government is an experimental science, and that, like all other experimental sciences, it is generally in a state of progression. No man is so obstinate an admirer of the old times, tp to deny that medicine, surgery, botany, chemistry, engineering, navigation, are better under stood now than in any former age. We conceive that it is the same with political science. Like those other sciences which we have mentioned, it has always been working itself clearer and clearer, and depositing impurity after impurity. There was a time when the most powerful of human intellects were deluded by the gibberish of the astrologer and the alchymist ; and just so there was a time when the most enlightened and virtuous Statesmen thought it the first duty of a Government to persecute heretics, to found monasteries, to make war on Saracens. But time advances, facts accumulate, doubts arise. Faint glimpses of truth begin to appear, and shine more and more unto the perfect day. The highest intellects, like the tops of mountains, are the first to catch and to reflect the dawn. They are bright, while the level below is still in darkness.ißut soon the light, which at first illuminated only the loftiest emi nences, descends on the plain, and penetrates to the deepest valley. First come hints, then fragments of systems, then de fective systems, then complete aad harmonious systems. The sound opinion, held for a time by one bold speculator, becomes the opinion of a small minority, of a strong majority, of a ma jority—of mankind. Thus, the great progress goes on, till schoolboys laugh at the jargon which imposed on Bacon,—till country Rectors condemn the illiberality and intolerance of Sir Thomas More." The description of the joy—phrcnzy rather—which the nation, almost to a man, testified at the Restora tion of Charles the Second, is admirably given in the following passage, which it will be observed is crowded with incident, and lives, and glows, and sparkles in every line : " The people were ready to place at the mercy of their Sovereign all their most ancient and precious rights. The most servile doctrines were eagerly avowed. The most mo derate and Constitutional opposition was condemned. Re sistance was spoken of with more horror than any crime which a human being can commit. The Commons were more eager than the King himself to avenge the wrongs of the Royal House ; more desirous than the Bishops themselves to restore the Church ; more ready to give money than the Ministers to ask for it. They abrogated some of the best laws passed in the first Session of the Long Parliament—laws which Falkland had supported, and which Hyde had not opposed. They might probably have been induced to go further, and to restore the High Commission and the Star Chamber. All the contempo rary accounts represent the nation as in a state of hysterical ex citementof drunken joy. In the immense multitude which crowded the beach at Dover, and bordered the road along which the King travelled to London, there was not one who was not weeping. Bonfires blazed ; bells jingled. The streets were thronged at night by boon-companions, who forced all the passers by to swallow on their knees brimming glasses to the health of his Most Sacred Majesty, and the damnation of Red-nosed Noll. That tenderness to the fallen which has, through many generations, been a marked feature of the na tional character, was for a time hardly discernible. All Lon don crowded to shout and laugh round the gibbet where hung the rotting- remains of a Prince who had made England the dread of the world,—who had been the chief founder of her maritime greatness and of her Colonial empire,—who had conquered Scotland and Ireland,—who had humbled Holland and Spain,—the terror of whose name had been as a guard round every English traveller in remote countries, and round every Protestant congregation in the heart of Catholic em pires. When some of those brave and honest, though mis guided men, who had sate in judgment on their King, were dragged on hurdles to a death of prolonged torture, their last prayers were interrupted by the hisses and execrations of thousands." The sketch of Charles the Second is capital ; dashed off at a heat, with a boldness and freedom of colouring, that singularly contrast with the careful, polished, Vandyke-like portrait of Scott. The Reviewer says of him : " He had seen, if ever man saw, both sides of human nature. But only one side remained in his memory. He had learned only to despise and distrust his species,—to consider integrity in man, and modesty in woman, as mere acting; nor did he think it worth while to keep his opinion to himself. He was incapable of friendship, yet he was perpetually led by favourities, without being in the smallest degree duped by them. From a certain easiness which had no connection with humanity, he submitted, half laughing at himself, to be made the tool of any woman whose person attracted him, or of any man whose tattle diverted him. He thought little, and cared less, about religion. - He seems to have passed his life in dawdling suspense, between Hobbism and Popery. He was crowned in his youth with the Covenant in his hand ; he died at last with the Host sticking in his throat." The " dawdling suspense" gives a life—a truth--a breadth of effect to this vigorous portrait, like one of those sudden gleams of light which we sometimes see among the broad shades of Rembrandt's heads. To wards the close of his Essay, the Reviewer takes the opportunity of speaking with considerable respect of Waller. We wonder at this. Waller is no fit subject of eulogy for any one who reverences consistency or manliness of character. At one period the advocate of commonwealths, at another of despotisms ; now bowing to the ground in presence of Cromwell, and now licking the (hist at the feet of James ; glorying in that which should cover an honest man with shame ; ambitious only of success in little matters, such as tickling the Court circles with the melody of his rhymes ; sneering ai excellence which he could not reach, as in the case of Milton ; apeing the dandy at past eighty, and practising the hypocrite and buffoon throughout life—we know of no public man who, possessing so few claims to admiration, has been so generally ad mired as this trimming, namby-pamby poetaster. As for his verse, the only two good lines he ever wrote are borrowed from one of old Fuller's quaint conceits ; and if the shades of Penshurst had nothing more to boast than the visits of the lover of Sacharissa—whose very name, by the bye, is characteristic of Waller's genius, being as cloying and sickly as a sugar plum—they would be in a lamentable state as regards poetical or historical associations. " Character of the Athenians" contains some shrewd speculations on this subject, suggested by a notice of Mitchell's Translation of Aristophanes. The Re viewer speaks of this racy old comic writer,who combined broad humour with fancy and elegance, in a way that no modern has ever surpassed, in the language of hearty eulogium, which is his due. The proverbial fickleness, too, of the Athenians, is well dwelt on, though the Reviewer is not one of those who are horrified at the idea of being supposed capable of speaking favourably of democracies. If the Athenian character have its black, it has also its white side, in his estimation. In the review of " Boteler's Voyage to Africa and Arabia," we are furnished with some curious parti culars respecting the great African lake N'yassa, of which the natives say, " that paddling five or six hours a day, and resting every night on an island, it would take them two moons to reach the furthest limits of the lake ; but that a ship with sails would perform the voyage in one moon." The Reviewer adds, that " its breadth is three days good paddling in a canoe. - The opposite shores are no where visible across the lake. Its waters are perfectly fresh, free from hippo' potami and crocodiles, and abounding in fish and waW.T fowls." It is singular that a vast inland sea like this, . which exceeds lake Tschad in extent, should have be en so long unvisited by Europeans. Till very recently they do not seem even to have heard of its existence. This Review will amply repay an attentive perusal, for it has been drawn up from authentic documents, trans mitted to the writer by an intelligent Arab, a native of Zanzibar, who has himself trodden the routes vAtich he describes. " Mrs. Butler's American Journal" lauds this lady to the skies. In this, as in the notice of " Captain Ross's Voyage" it is amusing to see the Edinburgh and Quarterly at such direct variance with each other. The former is astonished at Mrs. Butler's abuse of transatlantic manners. The latter is delighted with her panegyric upon them. In the case of Captain Ross, the difference between the two Reviewers is still more marked. The one considers him little better than a quack, and that his Discoveries are of no moment the other, that he is an able navigator, who has con ferred the greatest benefits on science. The one, in short, is an uncompromising advocate of the claims of Captain Parry ; the other as uncompromising an ad vocate of those of Captain Ross. " Who shall decide when Doctors disagree ?" " Montgomery's Poems" is a kindly and sagacious notice of the works of the bard of Sheffield. As this gentleman has been thrown, somewhat undeservedly, into the shade lately—notwithstanding the acknow ledged excellence of his " Wanderer of Switzerland," and "World before the Flood,"—it is but fit that his claims to the notice of posterity should be duly in sisted on. He is not a man to be read one day and forgotten the next. The broad impress of durability is on every thing he has written—more particularly on his lyrics, which have all the energy and high polish of Campbell. We subjoin one of them : " The flash at midnight !—'twas a light That gave the blind a moment's sight, Then sunk in tenfold gloom ; Loud, deep, and long the thunder broke, The deaf ear instantly awoke, Then closed as in the tomb : An angel might have passed my bed, Sounded the trump of God, and fled. • " So life appears ;—a sudden birth, A glance revealing heaven and earth, It is and it is not ! So fame the poet's hope deceives, Who sings for after times, and leaves A name—to be forgot: Life is a lightning-flash of breath, Fame but a thunder-clap at death." This little brilliant of the first water would read ad mirably, even in translation, because it is the poetry of thought, not of mere expression. Nothing can be more simple than the language. Nothing more solemn or imposing than the ideas. The lines marked ill Italics strike us as being eminently beautiful, particu larly the epigrammatic but solemn close, which reminds us of the style of some of the best passages in the " Night Thoughts." Of the remaining articles in the Number we have left ourselves no space to speak in detail. 'We must, therefore, content ourselves with saying, that the Paper on the " Irish Church" is penned in a very li beral and conciliatory spirit ; and that The Philo sophy of Manufactures" shows a thorough practical acquaintance with the subject. THE CONSTITUTION OF SOCIETY, AS DESIGNED BY GOD. _London : Effingham Wilson. 1835. This is one of the oddest and most whimsical com pilations, in the shape of an octavo volume, that we have ever met with. With the exception of the d e sign there is little original in it, as it is a compilation from the writings of authors of every age, country, and creed, explanatory of their views, opinions, and senti ments on all subjects bearing upon the physical, moral, and social condition of mankind. The author is to , the work what the thread is to a string of beads—the connecting principle. In its arrangement it is divided into three parts. The first regards Association, and e nters into a long investigation of the various modes of so cial, religious, and political intercourse. The author's standard throughout is the law of God as revealed in the Scriptures, and by this he determines the relative appropriateness of each system of social government- The second part treats of Human Laws. Under this head is arranged Lawful and Unlawful Constitutions , with the modes of susperseding the latter ; Rights of Nations ; Rights of Women ; Titles of Honour ; Nx" tional Churches ; and a Comparison between the Hebrew and the British Constitutions. The third part explains the nature of the various States of Society alluded to in the Bible ; and concludes with the development of a new social system which the author modestly de nominates a " Heavenly Association," of which all men are invited to become members. This Asso ciation is to consist of a pure democracy ; the a uthor being convinced that such a form of Government is only in perfect unison with the will of God, and best adapted to the wants of man. There is no lack of lamen tations for the sins and wickedness of the people ; and never before did we see such a goodly array of piety and republicanism in one volume. Of course the iniquity of Great Britain, bestridden as she is by by a King, a hereditary Peerage, and an Established Church, falls not far short of the heinous wickedness of Sodom, and the cities of Tyre and Sidon, when the vial of Heaven's wrath was poured out upon them, and they sunk to rise no more. With much that is old womanish, more that may be mischievous, and much more that is ridiculous- -- * this work contains many excellent, although hovel suggestions ; and is altogether well deserving of regard as a literary curiosity. It is inscribed to the Kings and the Members of the two Houses of Parliament ; although, we believe, without any expectation on the Author's part of obtaining through it the honour of an appointment at Court. We warn the author to take care how he exposes himself to the vengeance of the ladies. They will prove his most dangerous foes ; for, after his most unceremonious deposition of them from all plaCes of power, it is not to be ex pected that they will suffer him to enjoy his triumph with impunity. In good sooth he has wronged them ; and we shall henceforth acknowledge ourselves igno rant of the sex if it do not vindicate its privileges. GREEN'S ASCENT.—Yesterday, Mr. Green cool" pleted his 200th aerial voyage, by ascending from the Surrey Zoological Gardens ; it being also the anniversary of his 6 14 ascent in the year 1821, at the Coronation of George the Fourth. Notwithstanding the various vicissitudes he ha s met with in these excursions, by air and sea, the voyage of yesterday is without a parallel, he having remaine d in the air one hour and three quarters and only reached the distance of Greenwich Park, where he descended at a quarter past eight o'clock. He describes the as, cent as one of the finest and most magnificent he eve r made. On leaving the earth, the balloon rose to the height of about three thousand feet ; when, not finding ae) , ( l current to carry him an horizontal direction, he pa sse through the clouds, when the intense heat of the sun's rays acting on the balloon caused it to rise with the rapidity of ca rocket. After an absence of half an hour he again pas se through the clouds, and became visible to the metropolis , 85 be describes, exactly over the same spot he had left. Ha deb in vain tried to find a current to cross the river, he &seem°, in a favourable part of Greenwich Park, amidst a dense crow.' of persons, from whom he experienced some difficulty in ex tricating himself and the balloon, who in their desire to render him assistance were wrapping him up in the numerous folds et the silk. He arrived at the gardens about half-past tens amidst the cheers of the multitude. The ascent is to be re peated to-morrow.
