The Court is of opinion that letters which have arrived, or may arrive, in Egypt between the middle of April and the middle of September would probably have opportunities of expeditious trans mission to India by country sailing vessels ; but the Court have made no arrangements for the transmission of such letters in any way, and the East India Company has not the means of doing so. The Court issue this public notice in order to remove any erro neous impression which may exist respecting. the establishment of an East India Mail through Egypt ; and they think it necessary to add that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, there are not opportunies for the expeditious transmission to India of letters which may arrive in Egypt between September and April.

J. riNcalD, Late Captain in, and Author of " Adventures in the Rifle Brigade," London. Boone. 1835. -If Captain Kincaid be not one of the jolliest fellows that ever bared a blade in the service of his country, we renounce all pretensions to know a tree by its fruit. His book is full of genuine humour, without one particle of the trickery sometimes resorted to for the purpose of supplying the place of wit. His anec dotes are of the right sort—droll in the extreme, and yet giving fine, clear insights into the personal charac ters of those persons of whom they are told. In one sense of the phrase these shots are not random ones, for they are all fired at blue devils, the spleen, indi gestion, and all the other thousand and one plagues to which critical flesh is more especially heir. On us its perusal produced the happiest effect. On laying it down we felt what it was to be in good humour—a sensation rather new to us on the occasion of closing a book taken up immediately after dinner. The volume is dedicated to Lord Fitzroy Somerset, and contains a rough sketch of the author's life from- his birth to the end of the last war in the Peninsula. As it is ciiiy made up of the author's recollections, and does not purport to be a correct detail of what occurred in the army, or even in a single regiment, it would be unjust to test it by any of the ordinary rules of criticism. And, after all, what more than pleasure has any reader a right to expect in works of this sort ? Surely, nothing more ; and pleased he must be with the jolly reception of the gallant veteran. It may appear inconsistent in us to praise a book for its humour, and yet to select from it as an extract one of its few grave passages. To this our answer is, that Captain Kincaid's humour is indivisible, and must be sought for in his book. The perusal of the whole is necessary to a cordial appreciation of the spirit of a part. The following extract contains observations with which every soldier should be familiar :-- "The young soldier when he first arrives in camp or bivouac will (unless forced to do otherwise) always give in to the languor and fatigue which oppresses him, and fall asleep. He awakens most probably after dark, cold and comfortless. He would gladly eat some of the undressed meat in his haversack, but he has no fire to cook it with. He would gladly shelter himself in one of the numerous huts which have arisen round him since he fell asleep, but as he had lent no hand iu the building he is thrust out. He attempts at the eleventh hour to do as others have done, but the time has gone by, for all the materials that were originally within reach, have already been appropriated by his more active neighbours, and there is nothing left for him but to pass the remainder of the night as he best can, in hunger, in cold, and in discomfort, and he marches before day-light in the morning without hav ing enjoyed either rest or refreshment. Such is often the fate of young regiments for a longer period than would be be lieved, filling the hospitals and leading to all manner of evils. " On the other hand, see the old soldiers come to their ground. Let their feelings of fatigue be great or small, they are no sooner suffered to leave the ranks than every man rushes to secure whatever the neighbourhood affords as likely to contribute towards his comfort for the night. Swords, hatchets, and bill-hooks are to be seen hewing and hacking at every tree and bush within reach,—huts arc quickly reared, fires are quickly blazing, and while the camp kettle is boiling, or the pound of beef frying, the tired, but happy souls, are found toasting their toes around the cheerful blaze, recounting their various adventures until the fire has done. the needful, when they fall on like men, taking especial care, however, that whatever their inclinations may be, they consume no part of the provision which properly belongs to the morrow. The, meal finished, they arrange their accoutrements in readiness for any emergency, (caring little for the worst that can befal them for the next twenty-four hours,) when they dispose them selves for rest, and be their allowance of sleep long or short they enjoy it, for it does one's heart good to see ' the rapture of repose that's there.' " In actual battle, young soldiers are apt to have a feeling, (from which many old ones are not exempt,) namely, that they are but insignificant characters—only a humble individual out of many thousands, and that his conduct, be it good or bad, can have little influence over the fate of the day. This is a monstrous mistake, which it ought to be the duty of every mi litary writer to endeavour to correct ; for in battle, as else where, no man is insignificant unless he chooses to make him self so. The greater part of the victories on record, I believe, may be traced to the individual gallantry of a very small por tion of the troops engaged ; and if it were possible to take a microscopic view of that small portion, there is every reason to think that the whole of the glory might be found to rest with a very few individuals. " Military men in battle may be classed under three dispro portionate heads,—a very small class who consider themselves insignificant—a very large class who content themselves with doing their duty, without going beyond it—and a tolerably large class who do their best, many of which are great men without knowing it. One example in the history of a private soldier will establish all that I have advanced on the subject. " In one of the first smart actions that ,I ever was in, I was a young officer in command of experienced soldiers, and, therefore, found myself compelled to be an observer rather than an active leader in the scene. We were engaged in a very hot skirmish, and had driven the enemy's light troops for a considerable distance with great rapidity, when we were at length stopped by some of their regiments in line, which opened such a terrific fire within a few yards that it obliged every one to shelter himself as he best could among the inequalities of the ground and the sprinkling of trees which the place afforded. We remained inactive for about ten minutes amidst a shower of balls that seemed to be al most like a hail-storm, and when at the very worst, when it appeared to me to be certain death to quit the cover, a young scampish fellow of the name of Priestly, at the adjoining tree, started out from behind it, saying, Well ! I'll be if I'll be bothered any longer behind a tree, so here's at you,' and with that he banged off his rifle in the face of his foes, reloading very deliberately, while every one right and left followed his example, and the enemy, panic struck, took to their heels without firing another shot. The action requires no comment, the individual did not seem to be aware that he had any merit in what he did, but it is never theless a valuable example for those who are disposed to study causes and effects in the art of war." HELPS AND HINTS HOW TO PROTECT LIFE AND PROPERTY. With Instructions in Rifle and Pistol Shooting. Br LIRUTENANT-EOLONEL BARON DR BERENOER. London : J. Hurst, St. Paul's Church-yard. 1835. Were we a living personification of all the dulnesq, insolence, ignorance, dogmatism, spleen, acrimony, and habitual envy and uncharitableness, ascribed by pinionless bards, and suckling prose writers, to our selves and brethren, professors of the art of literary dissection, we could not find in our heart to utter so much as a harsh word respecting the merits of this performance of the Baron de Berenger. The curious iu matters of criticism may well beg to learn the reason of this ; knowing, as they must, that the intrinsic merits of any work would not preserve it from the la ceration of a critic imbued with half the evil proper- ties enumerated above. We are not quite certain whether we consult our own interest, and that of our brethren, by making public the contrivance by which the Baron has disarmed us. We almost fear that his example will be followed, and that in consequence we shall be constrained to assume looks of great goad humour, when otherwise we might take the liberty of indulging in a towering •passion. Now our read.vs ought to know that we like being angry sometimes, and that, on the whole, we are better pleased with the world for occasionally affording us opportunitie.i of appearing out of humour, without our being exposed to a charge of - waywardness or irrationality. There are moments when we would not be comforted, even if we could. Now, if all authors followed the exa:nple of (,the Baron De Berenger, we must appear pleased in ‘ spite of ourselves. This to a critic is a dreadful pro :peel. But the inherent wickedness of our race is, 'after all, a no bad security for a long life of pleasure in our own peculiar line. We may, therefore, : make :the world acquainted with the Baron's tactics with Out a fear that they will be often used as a foil against our nature. Well, then mark the secret:—The Ba s ron. has dedicated his book to ourselves--to the critics If it be borne in mind that the .act, of , dedication purely voluntary, it cannot be, diSp6ted that, sur passes, in the sacrifice of parental . feeling, any act of heroism recorded in ancient or modern history. Tiw Hebrew mother sacrificed her parental to her religious feelings—she had but the choice of two evils. Junius Brutus allowed the duty of the magistrate to swallow up the yearnings of the father. But in neither case was the sacrifice purely voluntary. Not so the Baron De Berenger, who commits his literary. offspring—the child of his soul in solitude—to the keeping of the guant wolves who prowl through the fields of litera ture. Such virtue merits a signal reward. The ten derness which distinguished Romulus's nurse still exists, though in a diminished degree, in the class of animals which represent that all but extinct race. Could we, however, contrive to forget the obligation the Baron has conferred upon us, and regard his book as indifferently as we sometimes do, others, we should nevertheless recommend it as wortriiif an extensiv? patronage. The young sportsman and the traveller will find it invaluable. THE MINING RE VIE 14 CONDUCTED BY HENRY ENGLISH, ESQ., F. G. S. Simpkin and Marshall. The object of this periodical being " to afford the means of acquiring authentic information, and to convey intelli gence connected with Mining at home and abroad, and also to uphold Mining operations when conducted with integrity and ability," it cannot fail to obtain an extensive patronage among those connected by study or pecuniary interest with these wonderful sources of wealth and knowledge. No person understands better than does its able editor, the so cial and political effects of geological and mineralogical pursuits ; and few are so well qualified to clothe the know ledge of them in a language intelligible to every class of ' readers. The most interesting article in this Num ber is the " Comparative View of celebrated Mines in Europe and America," which we cordially re commend to the perusal of the curious. The " De scriptive Notice of the Consolidated and United Mines" is rather long for a Review, though certainly not longer than is warranted by the great importance of the subject. The article on " Mining Companies," by the Editor, is well worth the attention of shareholders, stock jobbers, and all those who regard Mines merely as a safe, convenient, and profitable investment for capital. Some of the observations on the causes of the failure of different Companies are not so well understood as they ought to be, even by the most enterprising and successful Mining Ca pitalists. It is not the least important feature in this work that it contains full reports of the proceedings of the vari ous Mining and Geological Companies and Societies, with the most accurate information respecting all proposals made for the formation of others for similar purposes. The plates, showing the comparative depths of the different shafts of the Cornwall Mines, are fairly executed, and the work, as a whole, displays ability, industry, and accuracy. COLONIZATION; PARTICULARLY IN SOUTHERN AUSTRALIA : WITH SOME REMARKS ON SMALL FARMS AND OVER POPULATION. BY COLONEL CHARLES JAMES NAPIER. F. and W. Boone. 1835. This work is full of vigorous and original conceptions, blurred over with a coarseness of expression for which no palliation can be offered but the professional pursuits of its gallant author. In the discipline of their limbs, soldiers are apt to forget the discipline of their feelings ; nor are they sufficiently in the habit of paying due respect to laws, a violation of which cannot subject them to an examination before a court-martial, to be fully aware of the deference to its tastes which the reading public exacts from every writer who aspires to the honour of its especial regard. To this rule we are willing to make several splendid, and a few illustrious exceptions. Some of our most elegant writers have drawn the sword in the service of their country. Colonel Napier's observations on the effects of the small farm system, and his repudiation of the cry of over population, are among the most valuable parts of his book. We concur in his opinion on both these sub jects ; and we must take leave to say, that we paid a large share of our attention to them long before the appearance of some of the works to which he refers. As, however, the public is not greatly interested in the immediate discus sion of these questions, we will pass them over for the pre sent, and give, in the author's own words, a scheme which he proposes for the more equitable taxation of our colonies. What the public will think of it we pretend not to divine, nor are we disposed to express any opinion about it : " A POLL TAX. " A certain portion of injustice mixes itself in all thiags. Taxation is not exempt, but the introduction of a poll-tax, in the formation of a small colony, might be done with such reat advantages, as to render the quantity of injustice very trifling, not only as compared with other modes of taxation, but positively. The advantages seem to be— " 1. That the collection of such a tax being unexpensire, the tax would be very productive. "2. That it would preclude those tricks of government, by which a great mass of the people are heavily taxed, without discovering that they are taxed at all, till such taxes become absolutely ruinous. The government, we will suppose, costs 10,0001. a-year. Some circumstances demand an increase of expense, and it requires 20,0001. a-year. The direct poll-tax falls, at once, upon every man—all consult, and discuss the question, and a general and just opinion is formed (and loudly expressed) as to the propriety, or impropriety, of the measure, which thus doubles the tax. But , if a tax falls direct on A, and only effects B, remotely; the latter rarely finds out that he is taxed at all ; and having no sympathy with A, the com plaints of the latter are unheeded ; for men will not unite on principle, when not incommoded in practice, or, which is ti:c same thing, do not perceive that they suffer. I therefore ima gine, that a poll-tax would prove a most efficient check upon government extravagance; an advantage of no ordinary description. " 3. Its extreme simplicity renders every man a judge of it. The poorest man understands that there must be a government, and that it costs so much, and how that cost is paid, and own portion of that payment. The only doubt that arises is. "Do I pay less than my neighbour who is richer ?" The answer to this question involves fewer difficulties than may Le at first imagined. We levied a tax for the roads at Cefalonia. 'The whole population was divided into six classes. I never heard of any complaints being made that the local government did wrong in this arrangement, and the reason was, that we allowed no class to be exempt on principle. The moment an exemption took place, in any particular instance, inquiry began as to the why ; but all were content, while all paid—none would have been content, had any class been exempted on a principle of exemption. Men are ready to suffer much together,' but will not suffer even a little, when their neighbour does nnt suffer a tall. I also observed, that if individuals were wrongly classed, the discontent was, not with government, but with the imlividua," who so defrauded the public, as to pay less than his share, by. getting placed in a wrong class. This feeling was just and. useful. Just, because the odium fell where it was deserved. Useful, because it relieved the government from a degree of blame, which it had no right to bear ; and which, under a morc complicated system, it would have borne. " Now for the classification. The principle upon which to do this with least injustice, would be-Ist. To render the whole expense of government so very small, that the tax would be a matter of unimportance—in short, to produce a feeling of indifference about it—to make men think and say, Poe:. I the tax is a mere trifle; it's not worth talking about." And, 2dly. To make men desirous of being placed on the higher classes, by giving to these classes such distinctions and privileges, as would tempt men to place themselves voluntarily in the higher gradation. " If we, for example, make six classes, then divide the ex pense of government among the whole population ; allow this, to give three shillings a year, for each person, on lowest class, to pay, and which, if wages are 3s. a day, would be a matter of no great pressure to a labourer, considering the ordinary low prices of food in a new colony. Then let every man, P O. len, be-tout in the next higher class! ' •• • rt a • ass higher. Every ,rtarti , : with a pleasure, till h gher; and so on, each clts3 )ersons - co ••• ng it, some privilege Ttain precedence and distinction, such as'., men's. and will pay for, if the cost be small: not ir it would, also, place men on the higher classes,: the amount of their- landed property. Aoinst It, that a rich man ought to pay much mbrd: tax . man, nothing can be objected ; the poor maii re quires more protection from government than.,the rich ; be cause he is less able to protect himself.. But if the govern ment be placed upon the very lowest practicable 'footing of ex pense ; the difference of amount between what a rich, and what a poor man ought to pay, would be-so trifling as not to become a matter worthy of discussion. 'I think it is the weight of the taxes, rather than their disposition, which is the real evil. That great economy in the government is the leading principle of this mode of taxation is so evident as, at once, to account for its not having been much thought of. No job; could exist if the revenue were so raised. As the people in-' crease, public offices would become somewhat more extended,. but the revenue would increase in a much greater proportion, than the expense ; and, 'consequently, the rate of .taxation, each individual, should , .be diminished. Make TAXATION LIGHT, and then, no one will feel the unavoidable inequality which, always exists in its fwessure—and the more numerous the po pulatim becomes, : ;the less this injustice will be. Can any in 4 justice, or .ii eqUality of taxation, exceed that which exists in our complicated system ' • destroying the hired.labourer, "also- • ' lutely dntroying him. While, on the other hand, the adVan tages ,Of the, Poll-tax seem to be immense. Is any tax in Engfand a check upon the expenditure of the government ? I believe not. Yet such an advantage would, unqUestionably, belong to a poll-tax." MUNICIPAL REFORM. ST. PAUL, COVENT GARDEN. A meeting of the inhabitant householders was held, last evening, in the Vestry-room, to consider the pro priety of pe titioning the House of C om m on s no t t o concur in the altera tions made by the Lords in the Municipal Bill. The Chair was taken by Mr. MOSELEY, the Rector's Churchwarden. Mr. WALKER, in proposing the first resolution, which was to the effect—" That this meeting views with alarm and in dignation the mutilation of the Municipal Reform Bill by the Peers, characterised as it is by. an utter disregard of the feel• ings of the majority of the nation, the decisions of =its reit sentatives, and a total absence of that intelligent spirit which an enlightened people have a right to expect; and calculated to impress the nation with the inefficiency of the House of Lords as an instrument of civil government,"'—observed, that any person who had paid attention to the proceedings of the House of Lords, could not fail to be aware of the inefficiency of the Bill, in consequence of the mutilations made in it by the Peers. The great portion of the alterations were made on the ground that the qualification of those who govern should be based on property. In his opinion that was the greatest absurdity that could be advanced ; for at the present time a great many of those who ruled, and who belonged to the he reditary councillors of the nation, were nothing more than mere State pensioners, and had no other property than that which they received in pensions from the people.—( Hear.) The House of Lords was not acquainted with the wants of the people. The question therefore was, what should the people now do ? They were bound to make a stand, and shew moral force against the proceedings which the Lords had adopted against the Bill. If moral force would not accomplish the purpose they had in view, then they must resort to physical force.—( Hear.) The Lords had set the people the example of resistance, and the people should now teach them that they also understand resistance, and would not permit the Lords to ride rough shod over them.--( Cheers.) Mr. JUGGINS seconded the motion. The Resolution was then carried. Mr. R. YOUNG proposed the next Resolution, which was to the effect— " That the alterations which the Bill has undergone in the Upper House will, if concurred in by the Commons, deprive it of its most valuable provisions, and leave untouched the great abuses which it was intended to remedy." Mr. STANNER seconded the Resolution. Mr. CocutLL then proposed the following resolution : That the Clauses added to the Bill by the Lords, evinced such a contempt for the loud and just complaints of the people, and such a pertinacious adherence to the system which created the necessity for this measure, as to render it imperative upon every lover of good government, to come forward and employ every legitimate means in his power to prevent their passing into a law ; satisfied that this apparent amendment—but real destruction of the virtual principle of the Bill, that is, responsibility of the governors to be governed— will be worse than the present state of the Municipal Corpora tions." He said that the Peers lived by corruption ; they were created by corruption, and it was therefore necessary that they should retain some portion of it, their power in the House of Com mons having been wrested from them by the operation of the Reform Bill.—( Hear, hear.) If the House of Lords were examined, it would be fouul that they were a long way be hind the middling classes, and that their moral conduct was a disgrace to Englishmen.—( Hear, hear.) That was the im pression of all well-thinking men. There were a few worthy men among them, but the House itself required more reform than any corporate body in the kingdom.—( Hear, hear.) He maintained that the Peers should be elected according to their abilities, and not suffered to preside over the councils of the nation because they were the sons of Peers. Their ancestors might have been wise men, but the descendants might be mere fools and blockheads.—( A laugh.) In conclusion, he said that the Peers had always been robbing the people; and until a change was made in the constitution of their House, they would go on robbing the people to the last.—( Hear. ) Mr. KAY seconded the motion. He observed, that the people must do all the could to coerce the Peers, as they had done before, and victory would be theirs. If, however, vic tory was not to be obtained, he would advise that the Upas tree should be cut down.—( Cheering.) The resolution was then carried. Mr. DAwsoN then moved—" That the House of Peers, by its opposition to every measure of wholesome reform, displays an ignorance of the best interests of the country, which can be accounted for only by the hereditary constitution of its body, and has justly forfeited the confidence of the coun try, as incapable of discerning the wants and feelings of a people far its superior in intelligence and moral worth. That the Commons only can be looked to for redress of the many grievances under which the nation groans, owing to the mis government of the party which principally compose the pre sent Upper House, and that accordingly a petition be pre sented to the Commons, praying them, as they regard the best interests of the State, not to agree to the so-styled amend ments of the Lords." Mr. Dawson spoke in favour of the Bill, and said he hoped the country would not allow it to be mutilated by the Lords. The proceedings of the House of Lords during the week, had brought them into contempt with the whole country. It was a disgrace that such a hereditary House should exist, and he hoped the day was not far dis tant, when the abolition of that House would be attempted. He then adverted to a political change in a Morning Paper, remarking that the Tories having bought over that paper to their own interest, employed its editors to vilify a man, whom, a short time before, they had spoken of almost as a god. Mr. CARRELL seconded the resolution. The resolution having been carried, it was moved that Mr. Hume should present the petition to the House of Commons. Another gentleman wished that Sir John Hobhouse should be the bearer of the petition ; and a third pleaded that it would be ungracious to deprive Sir Francis Burdett of the honour, as he had on all occasions stood up the friend and protector of the people. Mr. WALKER said, that without saying anything about Sir Francis Burdett, he thought it would be better to place the petition in the hands of Mr. Hume, as he had given notice of a call of the House, if the Bill was returned in a muti lated state. A show of hands was then taken, and it was agreed by a large majority that the petition should be presented by Mr. Hume. Thanks wero then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. ST. MARTIN' S-IN-THE-FIELD S. At a respectable meeting of the Parochial Society of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, held at the Two Angels and Crown, Upper St. Martin's-lane, after some strong remarks, con demnatory of the recent proceedings in the House of Lords respecting the Municipal Reform Bill, a requisition to the churchwardens was unanimously agreed to, praying them immediately to convene a public meeting of the inhabitants of the with, in order that they may petition the House of Com mons to reject the amendments of the Lords. The requisition has received nearly 500 signatures. BISHOPSGATE WARD. A meeting of this ward was held, on Tuesday, at the School house, Peter -street, Alderman Copeland in the chair, for the purpose of petitioning the House of Lords to pass the Muni cipal Reform Bill, unmutilated, and without delay : and also to petition the Commons to resist any mutilations which the Peers might make in that beneficial measure.

HIS MAJESTY.—In Kirkaldy and neighbourhood there are several old seamen who feel proud of having had the honour to be shipmates with his Majesty. James Kilgour, who died a few weeks since, was wont to boast that he taught William the Fourth to splice a rope ; and of no circumstance was the old man more vain than that the Kingg had recol lected his shipmate, and sent him 5/. to relieve his necessities. The other day we met an old weatherbeaten tar ; and, in the course of conversation, learned that he had been a shipmate with the King when his Majesty went first to sea. The sailor's name is John Miller ; he resides in the Links, and is nearly 80 years of age. He (like Kilgour) boasts of having had it in his power to do a personal favour to hi s M a j es ty. His story was this :—Prince William sailed from Spithead, as a mid shipman, in the Prince George, Admiral Digby, the fleet being destined to relieve Gibraltar, then besieged. In their nay to the Rock, the British squadron, when off Cape Si. Vincent, fell in with a Spanish force, of which seven sail were destroyed—the St Julian having struck to the Prince George. When the order was given to clear for action, it became part of Miller's duty, as captain of a gun. to throw overboard a writing-table, which he, with the natural caution of 'a Scotch m thought prudent to knock to pieces; and in a drawer in it he found a splendid purse, marked with the Prince's name, containing money and papers; these he put in his hat. After the action, the Admiral made inquiry as to the table, and was highly pleased with Miller's preservation of the papers, &c. Miller feels quite certain that his Majesty still retains a lively recollection of the circumstance..—.Flieshire Journal. 4 This day, complete, with all the Forty Original Portraits, in 2 vole. 4t0., price only 2/.
