We thank our Correspondent, " Oswald," for his Poetical Address to the Earl of Winchilsea, but must beg leave to decline it, for the subject does not possess sufficient interest for the public. To a " Lincolnshire Admirer," who thanks us for having done our best to expose the humbug of the late Sabbath Restriction Bill, we have to say in reply, that we are gratified by his good opinion of our sincerity. The publication of Tar. SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this dap al 7 minutos past 3 o'clock. . . •i J I I LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE I, 1835. The twentieth Anniversary of the Artists' Benevo volent Institution was celebrated on Saturday last, by a dinner at the Freemasons' Tavern. The chair was occupied by Lord 1.3n0 M ho, in an eloquent adiress, pointed out to a numerous and admiring audience the national advantages to be derived from the cultivation of the Fine A rts. The Noble Lord la mented that so little attention was paid to the art of design in this country, while in other countries it was considered an essential branch of education. He re marked that in almost every town in France, which he visited in his late tour in that country, he found a School of Design established, in which all who chose received gratuitous instruction. In the manufacturing towns in particular the benefits of such institutions is fully appreciated, and to them we may justly ascribe the elegance and taste of those patterns which grace the productions of the French loom, and which far surpass those of other nations. One consequence of this inattention on our part to the art of Design is, that the price of our figured silks, cottons and muslins, to say nothing of ornamental works in metal, is greatly enhanced. There are, it appears, only two artists in London who supply good patterns for muslin and calico printers. The supply being thus limited, the price is very high—so much so, indeed, that Lord BROUGHAM mentioned an instance which came within his own knowledge, where he was shown a pattern, the price of which was such that a Royal Academician—a first-rate artist too—declared that he would be happy to spend his whole life in furnishing such things at one : fourth of the price paid for that. We trust that this national reproach—for .such we must consider it—will soon be wipedoff by the Government's taking the subject into consideration, and giving its countenance to the establishment of a better system. The object of the Artists' Benevolent Institution is to relieve the distresses of meritorious Artists, whether members or not, and also to make some provision for their widows and orphans. It is therefore one which earnestly recommend to the charitable and the hu mane. We are happy to learn that Lord BROUGHA did not plead its cause in vain on Saturday. A sum of nearly 5001. was subscribed in the room. The Westminster Reform Club held a Meeting on Saturday last, which was numerobsly attended. After the business of the day had been completed, about 60 of the members sat down to dinner, JOHN Wu, s, Esq., M.P., in the Chair. Several excellent speeches were delivered—which our limited space has compelled us to curtail--and the greatest harmony and good feel ing prevailed throughout the evening. We are particu larly gratified to see such meetings at the present mo ment, and we are persuaded that upon the stir which the Reformers now make, much, if not all their fu ture success will depend. They must overawe, and not be overawed by, their enemies. If they expect to come off victorious in the approaching conflict, they must take up a commanding position, and display the formidable array and gallant spirit of their forces. In the Times newspaper of last Saturday there ap peared an article bearing the signature of " T. 0.," im pugning the accuracy of a statement contained in the " Companion to the Almanack" to the effect that all Acts of Parliament take effect from the day on which they receive the Royal assent, unless some other day is specially directed by any particular Act. The cor respondent of the Times made the very notable disco very that this was an erroneous view of the law on the part of those who -get up the "Companion to the Al. manack," and amongst whom it is his pleasure to place Lord 131touGuAzd. After a goad deal of what is in- • ...,,,-..-.-,,,, V . O p 4 '. ....... tended to be very sarcastic badinage, as to the fitness and propriety that those who attempt to teach the pub lic should at least themselves be informed on the sub ject which they propose to teach, he proceeds to tell us on the authority of Lord COKE, and some other learned legal writers, that Acts of Parliament operate from the first day of the session in which they are passed, as that is the day to which in law they have relation. But it needed no such authority to prove that that position once was law. It is a posi tion well-known and thoroughly understood, but if " T. 0." had been a lawyer, which he cer tainly is not (though he may be a barrister), or at all acquainted, even by sight, with a printed Act of Parliament, he would have known that a par ticular date is attached to the title of every Act, and has been so ever since the year 1793. As this learned gentleman may possibly be desirous to learn the reason why the date was then, and has been ever since, so attached, let him take the trouble to turn to the statutes of the 33 Geo. 111. (1793), and read the 13th Chapter. He will there find that the Clerk of the Parliament is directed to endorse, immediately after the title of every Act, the day, month, and year when the same passed and received the Royal assent, be cause such endorsement is there directed to be taken as part of the Act, and to be the date of its commence ment, where no other commencement shall be therein provided. We hope this little failure will not discourage the laudable efforts of this acute and learned advocate, to set Lord BROUGHAM right. To be sure this, his first essay, has proved a mare's nest, and, what is still worse, all the eggs have been sucked. But what of that—enlisted, as he is, in so good a cause—animated, too, by feelings so entirely opposed to the bitterness of disappointed malice?—ardour such as his, will carry him through even a more disgraceful defeat than this. We should be extremely sorry to say any thing that might tend, in the most remote degree, to damp this ardour, but we cannot help hinting to " T. 0.," that there would be no harm if he would bear in mind the awkward dilemma in which he may sometimes be placed who attempts to teach others a lesson which he has not learnt himself. We have received the whole of the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. On Friday the Court of Peers was occupied with the examination of the advocates who signed the letter addressed to the prisoners of April, through the columns of the Tribune and Re formateur journals of the 11th May. A condensed report of the proceedings in the Court of Peers on this extraordinary occasion will be found in another part of The Sun. It exhibits a lamentable picture of the rash imbecility which characterizes every movement of the French Peerage in the exercise of their judicial functions. How contemptible must not the Peers have appeared even in their own eyes, sitting in judg ment on men who could brave their wrath, and expose them to the ridicule of the world, under the plea of urging a personal defence ? Having degraded them selves to the level of spies and quibbling inquisitors, in order to be revenged on men who dared to repel in justice and expose tyranny, how it must have galled them to find their position fully understood by those upon whom they had the effrontery to sit in judgment. Be the immediate result of these trials what it may, we do not hesitate to assert that it will terminate even tually in the annihilation of the present Chamber of Peers. Of this we are quite confident. The question of Foreign intervention in the affliir; of Spain continues to excite public attention in Paris. The final arrangement must, however, take place in London ; and we are only surprised that it is not al ready concluded. Louts PHILIPPE would be ex ceedingly delighted to hear that intervention was not approved of by England, as he is personally, as weli as M. lIUM4NN strongly opposed to it. TDIEns, Guizere and DE BROGLIE hold different opinions frAn the KING, and are all in favour of active, instant intervention. As to the apprehensions of the Greet Northern Powers taking an active part in the struggle, should England and France take the field, we regard them as utterly groundless. Austria will not inter fere, and Russia will not dare to march an army into Spain ill the present distracted state of her own prc vincesi,,,4'4l..zth a step would be quickly followed by another of the Poles ; and as sure as that event would occuo,;England and France would never sheathe the sword, until, by asserting the nationality of that brave people, they would have wiped away the foul stain which the subjugation of Poland by Russia has fixed upon them. PARIS, MAY 29.—Sir Charles Bugot, lately Ambassador Extraordinary for England at Vienna, passed through Stras burg, on his return to England, on the 20th May. Neither the Moniteur, nor the Journal des Debate, say anything, this morning, on the intervention. M. de Talleyrand was at the Palace yesterday, from two o'clock till five. The Renovateur says—" A great deal is said in the politi cal world about a Memoir . presented by M. de Talleyrand, against an armed intervention in the affairs of Spain. It is affirmed that this diplomatic document, which is agreeable to the personal ideas of Louis Philippe on the question, is re marL•able for its great lucidity."—Messager, May 30.

We have received German and Brussels Papers. The following extract from the Allgemeine Zeitung will be read with interest : " The Emperor Ferdinand has for many years devoted his leisure to the spirit of an age so rich in invention and enter prises, for which ho has a decided predilection—as his august father succeeded in maintaining the firmest union between the allied sovereigns, he will, if Heaven prolong his valuable life, accomplish the great work which he proposes to himself, namely, to lead his people, while he preserves the monarchical principle in its purity, but in harmony with the progress of the age, the prosperity and the development of all great under takings. As heir to the Throne he lived in retirement, but with this object constantly in view, and dispensing be nefits, mostly through the medium of confidential persons who were enjoined not to disclose the quarter from which they came. He seemed to take little part in the great events which must often have clouded his early years. But the few months of his Government have shown how he has employed his youth, and what was the spirit that seemed to slumber in him. Prompt and indefatigable, he devotes him self to the duties of Government, and one great project after another is examined and approved by him. We lately mentioned that for an iron railroad to Lemberg, in Gallicia, and can now announce a Navigation Society, whose statutes are already sanctioned by the Emperor, which promises great 111 E SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 1, 1835 Avantages to the commerce of Vienna and of Upper Aus ria, and even of Bavaria and Wurtemberg, and will excite admiration as a gigantic national enterprise. Nothing less is :ntended than to lead a canal through the Brigitten Aue, then to make a capacious harbour for the Imperial capital, with warehouses for merchandizes, and accommodations for ships to winter there. The projectors wait only for the neces sary sanction of the magistrates, to begin their work. " Yesterday their Majesties left the Palace at Vienna, and went to Schonbrunn."

Their contents are of no public interest, if we except an address from General VALDEZ and the officers of the army in the North, deploring the attack made upon MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA on the 11th ult. The officers renew their protestations of devotion to the QUEEN'S cause, and declare that they are pre- pared to shed the last drop of their blood in defence of the Government and the Constitution. VALDEZ condemns in no measured terms the conduct of those who repudiated the treaty between himself and ZU lA LACARREGUI prepared by Lord ELIOT and Colonel GURWOOD for the mutual exchange of prisoners. On the 23d the discussion on the Budget closed ; so that the Session of the Cortes may now be regarded as terminated. Several arrests have taken place in Madrid relative to the emeuie on the 11th ult. There are rumours of a change of Ministry, in which, how ever, we put no sort of confidence. The QUEEN is Still at Aranguez. Demerara Papers to the 31st March have been received. We give the following from the Guiana Chronicle of March 30 : " We learn, by an arrival from Bermuda, that the Ame rican brig Experiment, with slaves from Alexandria to - Charlestown, put into that island in distress ; that the negroes lately freed by the Legislature waited upon the Governor, and requested him to have the American slaves landed : they were accordingly brought on shore, and declared free by the Chief Justice, and are now free citizens of Bermuda. With all the aid which a judicious administration of the law, in the hand of an efficient magistrate, can produce, to maintain peace and good order, the state of the negroes on the La Penitence estate does not materially improve. There punish ment succeeds punishment, accompanied with all the rigour which the law allows, and yet the obstinate spirit of these misguided people remains unconquered, and but little (if at all) amended.

MAGAZINE DAY. BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE. The series of articles on Pitt are brought to a close in this number ; and we are not sorry for it, for al though the manner throughout is attractive, yet the matter is far from being unexceptionable, being charged with the starchest and most obsolete Toryism. Besides, the writer (as was the case with his Essays on Burke) is far too indiscriminate an idolater of the " heaven-born Minister ;" discovering the quintessence of the loftiest sagacity in every random sentence that drops from his lips. Now, Pitt, though a statesman of unquestionable vigour of mind, was by no means the prodigy that the author of these articles would have us believe he was. Placed side by side with Fox, he will make but a sorry appearance in the eyes of posterity. " The Even-song of the Streams" con tains some graceful, though rather too elaborate, speci mens of versification. "An Old House in the City" is the production of a stern and straightforward thinker, who is not likely to sin on the side of excessive humanity. The article " drags its slow length along" in places, but is by no means deficient in interest. " Nights at Mess" contains a capital account of an Irishman's matrimonial adventures in a boarding house at Bedford-square. The episode of the Hon. Mrs. Snaggs, and her little affair with the brandy bottle, is worthy of O'Doherty. " Nursery Rhymes' . would be a more ingenious specimen of ironical criti cism, if the author did not strain so hard, in every second sentence, to clinch a point or witticism. Humour brought forth with difficulty is generally read with difficulty. Altogether, the number is a good, though by no means first-rate one. We miss the in comparable " Noctes." ENGLAND.

Up to the present hour no business is ding, and the same gloom prevails as on the settling day.

Another meeting for the same purpose was held on Monday at South Sweifl FRASER'S MAGAZINE. The broad extravaganza entitled the " Return from Leave," is, judging from the style of its humour, penned by the same hand as the " Nights at Mess" in the present number of Blackwood. It is by far the best article in " Fraser." The sketch in particular, of the Irish post-boy, and his ingenious mode of making un willing chaise-horses clatter along at full gallop, by tying a whisp of lighted straw to their tails, is as good as any of Hatchway's practical jokes in Smollett's " Peregine Pickle." We must subjoin a portion of this laughable scene : " When this desperate work hid continued for a couple of minutes, Carty suddenly altered his tactics. He ceased to strike ; and one of the spectators, thinking him ♦anquished in the strife, exclaimed, By Gor, boy-o 1 the bastes have flogged you entirely.' " Divil a hap'orth, you spalpeen with an ugly face !' re turned our driver. start 'cm yet, never fear ! Padreen agra, fetch me a sprig of furze out of the gap ; and, little Thady, my blessings on you! just rowl a taste of red turf in a whisp of straw, and bring it hither to me. I'll engage, your honour, we'll go by an' by, if we have any luck.' " His emissaries performed the parts assigned; one bring ing a branch of a furze bush, and the other appearing with a bundle of straw; but for what purposes these adjuncts to his cudgel were paraded I could not guess. Now, boys,' said Carty, one o' ye's howld the head of the cowlt firm till I give the word. Are ye ready with the whisp ?' " ' We are,' answered little Thady. " Give it a whisk in the wind till it lights, my bouchal ; and, Padreen, lift up the old horse's tail, and shove the sprig between it and the crupper.' " By George, I won't stand this 1' cried 1; these vaga bonds will have us dashed to pieces. You, Carty—Carty, you scoundrel ! do'nt you hear ?' " I do, your honour,' answered Jack ; but I'll engage we won't keep you long now, any way.' I'll not pay you a farthing,' I roared; I'll break your head ; I'll--' " Ah now, sir, sit aisey, can't you?' interrupted my com panion, in a most dissatisfied tone. " When I screach ' Off,' thrust the whisp under the cowlt's belly, in God's name !" cried Carty, and his myrmidons pro mised to obey him. " I endeavoured to let down the front window, which, by the way, was nearly all panel, with a little square pane of glass at top, in order to check the driver's hand with mine, but it was immovable. Padreen had the old horse's tail in his left hand, the furze-bush in his right ; a flickering flame began to wreath round little Thady's handful of straw ; Carty again crammed his hat down on his brows, and held his reins tight; I expected almost immediate annihilation ' and the crowd was hushed in the expectation of the eventful' off.' " !' roared Carty : it did as well es off.' Pa dreen applied his prickles to the unfortunate brute's crupper ; little Thady's straw blazed between the colt's hind legs ; and with a jerk which I should have thought sufficiently violent to break five pairs of traces, we dashed forward into the gloom at a rate that in a few seconds left the shouters of Kildorrerey far behind." The portrait of Alaric Attila Watts is of course a caricature. The Memoir affixed—if such a thing can be called a Memoir—is a downright assault and battery on Mr. Watts's pretensions as a Lyrist of the Heart. We cannot approve the animus that pervades this sharp and stinging Memoir. The " Three Sisters" is a blank verse poem by Hogg, containing sonic good lines, and a prodigious number of lame ones. James is no hand at blank verse. Under his unskilful ma nagement, it halts like a spavined hack. The " Poets of the Day" is a quizzical notice—or rather collection of notices—of some of the most eminent poetic failures of the day. Poor Mr. Michell, with his spick-and span new talc of the Crusades and Chivalry, is mauled, as severely as if he were under the discipline of Tom Cribb. In the " Whigs' Last Trick" Ministers are abused in a style, ridiculous and ineffective from its very ferocity. _ THE UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL. Thcre are some important articles in this number, particularly the opening one on the mortality among officers of the British army. The tables with which it is illustrated are of the greatest consequence, as they show at a glance where mortality in the army is most prevalent. The paper on the " Registry and Regulation of Merchant Seamen," we recommend to the perusal of the Lords of the Admiralty. It con tains some very excellent suggestions. "My Scarlet Coat is a good idea ; some of the lines are well pointed. This periodical is admirably conducted. It is the Mentor of the military and naval professions. NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. In his present chapter of " Gilbert Gurney," 'Mr. Hook has furnished us with an admirable sketch of a trial at the Old Bailey, as trials were carried on there some ten or twenty years since. He tells us, in deed, that his sketch is a caricature, and hints his desire that it should be considered as such ; but it is evident that he has adhered literally to truth through out it, as any one will perceive, who remembers the sessional proceedings at the Old Bailey, at the period to which his account refers. There is also a clever, quizzical description of a dinner party, given at his country villa, by a wealthy cit, to a miscellaneous selection of poets, actors, lawyers, &c. The " Red Man" is an attempt to revive the horrible and mys terious in fiction. Those who are enamoured with Sunday newspaper-murders will read it with zest ; but those who have a more rcfined taste in matters of secret assassination will be apt to pronounce it a clumsy failure. The hero of the tale—a manifest slip of Satan's own grafting—marries a young wife, but becoming jealous shortly after, makes away with her a la Schedoni, and then quits home for several years ; and on his return, disguised as a monk, finds that his daughter, whom he left an infant, has grown u p into a beautiful young woman. He exercises authority over her, as the guardian appointed by her deceased parent, and reads her long lectures every day, on the propriety of her confirming in a state of incessant chastity ; but without effect, for she unluckily falls in love, and marries a young Paris rake ; whereupon her guardi an , a f ter te lli ng h er t h at he is her father, proceeds to prove .his paternity by locking her left hand fast in ,a sort of gin, or trap, and so leaving her to die, whi c h s h e d oes ; b ut not be fore she has given birth in 6ittlut::::n to a cliiid„ which dies at the sanie moment as its own mother ! The story is supposed to be told by the Paris execu-' tioner to a party of English listeners,' as a sort of rival to Thurtell's murder of Weare, and is pronounced by all parties, greatly to the satisfaction of the ra conteur, to be a conception infinitely superior to Thu:tell's I But enough of such trash. The " Bo rba of Red-Gap Lane" is one of Mrs. Hall's most amusing sketches of Irish highways. " Sir Matthew Meddlr" is by Poole. It is a light, readable paper, like all its author's, who plays about the shallows, though he cannot sound the depths, of character with much skill and success. THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE. There are several very able papers in this number. The criticism on Wordsworth is the best we have met with for some time. The writer is evidently not prac tically conversant with the employment of a critical faculty—he is deficient in eloquence, and approaches his subject clumsily, as if his id e a s were no t su ffi c i ent l y distinct ; but he abounds in just conceptions, good sense, and a sound, discriminating judgment. The world is too apt to run into extremes, and this error, so obvious in the case of Wordsworth, the critic very justly endeavours to correct. The Review of " Moore's History of Ireland is judicious ;it would have been still better, had the author not contrived to fall into the same error with which he taxes the historian— partiality to the tenets of a sect. " Rambling Recol lections," by the author of " Stories of Waterloo," is a series of excellent papers. The " Mad Officer " is a clever sketch. This number is altogether a very superior one to the last. So far as it is conducted, without reference to party or sectarian feeling, the Dub lin University Magazine is equal to any periodical now published. THE ASIATIC JOURNAL. The " Fakeer of Allahabad," and " Oodipore," are the only entertaining sketches in this number. The latter is graphically written, and displays great know ledge of the moral, religious, and social condition of India. " Coins and Relics of IVlanikyala" is an ela borate essay, worthy of the notice of the Antiquarian Society. For our own part, we confess that antiqua rian researches have no charms for us. We prefer a page of Locke to a volume of Selden. The " Asia tic Intelligence" is copious to a fault ; and the notices of the affairs of India, generally, remarkable for their correctness. Still this number is heavy, and, to all but a very few persons, unreadable. THE ANALY ST. This number is rather addressed to the scientific than the general reader. Vegetable Organization, Sta tistics, Ornithological nomenclature, Phrenology, and Remarks on Insects, are the principal subjects treated of in these pages. In our opinion, this is not alto gether judicious. The critical notices are remarkably well written. GARDENER'S MAGAZINE. Another of Mr. Loudon's multifarious publications. This gentleman is the most industrious manufacturer of periodicals we ever heard of ; his name, as editor, appearing on at least a dozen wrappers monthly. His present, like all his other works, shows evident marks of pains-taking, and furnishes the reader, who may chance to be interested in such matters, with curious particulars respecting some of our rarest and most valuable exotics.

This periodical " progresses," as Jonathan would say. The articles are mostly written with care, and some of them being spiced with personalities, will be sure to attract admirers. The " Sketches from Real Life," describing some of the most prominent visitors to be met with at the Athenteum Club House, is the best in the number. That of the Editor of the Quar ter•h Review is the most elaborately drawn ; but the author would have done better, had he insisted less upon the gentility of his diffetent characters, and more upon the quality and compass of their intellects. The " Rival Damons” is a humourous piece of versification, whose only fault is, that it is too much spun out. Among the " Critical Notices," we find a somewhat severe (and minuter than usual) analysis of Mrs. Nor ton's last novel, " The Wife." The month's embellish ment is a portrait of Lady Chetwynde, the dark back: ground of which looks harsh and slovenly. THE SPORTING MAGAZINE. The pictorial Embellishments of this number are, the " Fatal Stoop," by Parr, from a design by Turner, and " Critic," by Sctchell, from a painting by Davis. The " Fatal Stoop," which represents a falcon stooping upo►► a crane, within sight of a party of gallant ca valiers and courtly dames, engaged in the aristo cratic sport of hawking, is really a most mas terly production. The horsemen scampering over the furze-covered hills in the distance, the dismounted rider, and the admirable way in which the foreshort ening is managed, are master-touches of art. The figure of the dog is tame in comparison with this ; besides the joints of the knees are out of all proportion. The keen sportsman will find in the letter-press a fund of amusement. THE PARTERRE. If we cannot speak in very lavish terms of praise of the matter of the " Parterre," at any rate, we can commend the manner in which it is got up. The quality of the type and paper are both excellent, and the engravings, considering the cheapness of the work, by no means to be despised. Some of the articles are original, but the majority are selected from various sources. Perhaps if the whole had been selected, the literary character of the magazine would have been improved. THE CHRISTIAN REFORMER. The subjects discussed in this periodical necessarily place it out of the pale of newspaper criticism— namely, the great questions which divide the Unitarian from the Trinitarian Christian com munion. As we never allow ourselves to be betrayed into discussions on such subjects, we will merely observe, that . the Christian Re former is the advocate of the Unitarian doctrine. It is conducted with considerable ability, and in a spirit of Christian forbearance and charity. THE LITERARY UNION. A Monthly Mugazine. This number greatly improves upon all that pre ceded it, though still far behind the bulk of its monthly contemporaries. The verses are pretty, and the criticisms generally correct, as far as they go. The biography of Colton, the author of " Lacon" is the best article in these pages. MANUAL OF ENTOMOLOGY. This work is a translation from the German, and institutes many curious researches into the nature and and habits of the beetle tribe. PAXTON'S HORTICULTURAL REGISTER. In a little Essay on the " Progress and Style of Or namental Gardening," the Editor of this work lays down some judicious rules for laying out parks and garden -grounds. He is no advocate for the old formal rectilinear and rectangular style of gardening, but re commends an easy and unostentatious simplicity. Sir Walter Scott wrote an admirable Treatise on this sub ject in the Quarterly Review, some years since ; and he writer of the i;rofitcd little by his observations.
