The people of England arc hardly less culpable than the Government. They are almost wholly in different to question's of foreign policy, unless their trade happens to be itnpaired ; and then they murmur at their losses, as if it were no part of their duty to attend to their own interests in . a foreign market. They seem to apprehend no danger from abroad but the absurd one of, invasion ; and every ,other which is pointed out to them subjects the too officious monitor to contempt or ridicule.

Those of Prussia are first to be examined. In establishing the commercial league, Prussia has two great objects in view—the one of a pecuniary, the other of a political nature. The first of these mo tives is so well expressed in a Memoir on the State and Prospects of Germ etn ri y, drawn up under the di rection of a Minister of St. Petersburgh, and published in the second Nattilwr of the Portfolio —in the same form in which- it was confidently communicated to several of the German Governments—that we shall rinc;ril Giar?cter.: b; Me,;rs. a Smith, Wilkincon, Wet•stcr, Miss Vincent, ar.:l fits D;Cy.

Tke puttication Tae, SUN NEwsrArrn commenced this dal at 15 minutes past Three o' Clock. quote the passage as embracing our views on this point. The fact stated in the first sentence is, how ever, unfounded. The subjects of the minor German States had nothing whatever to do with the establish ment of the Prussian league, with the exception of certain noisy individuals whom Prussia bribed to second her views, by clamours and harangues against the religious and political libertinism of England and France : " The people feared to be extinguished by the Prussian manufactures ; and therefore demanded universal freedom of tolls, and a general circulation of commerce within the territory of the Confederation. The constitutional Govern ments, on the other hand, which had united with Prussia in her system of tolls, suddenly saw themselves placed with respect to their legislative bodies in the greatest embarrass ment. Nevertheless, Prussia found means to- prevail, carried through her designs, and gained over the smaller Ger Man States, to her system of tolls. However purely mercantile this matter appeared, still higher political con sequences, which certain French journals rightly foretold, lie concealed behind it. For through the embarrassed financial relations of most German States, their govern ments become dependent on the influences that act on their finances. Now as the toll is an important branch of State economy, as Well on account of the internal industry as of the revenue of the trade of transit, Prussia, it she draws the small States into her system, gains by this union of tolls a very material influence over the financial relations of all those States which are incorporated in her toll union and considering the relation between the financial and political interests of the State, it cannot also fail that those States which in respect to a part of their State finances are . dependent on Prussia, became in a political view equally dependent upon her. This state of independence certainly ,)es not stand prominently forward in peace, but in the eve) qt . a war brcaffing out, it must be of great importance." The political design of Prussia is more complex tha the pecuniary motive which urged to the formation of the commercial league. In the first place, she sought to place herself on a level with Austria and Russia, so as to be able to treat independently, and on a footing of the most perfect equality, with the Governments of France and England. To effect this, it was absolutely necessary that she should either enlarge her territory, or extend her political influence. The first could not be done without hazarding a war ; and to accomplish the second the only resources within her reach was the formation of a league which would detach from Aus tria the moral and physical influence of the German States, and place it under the protection of the King of PRUSSIA rather than of the Empire. Her second political object was to stein the torrent of liberalism in Germany ; the hereditary Princes being unable to make head against the force of public opinion. This object is thus dwelt upon in the State document quoted above : " The Princes of the small constitutional German States, oppressed by their ambitious Legislators, as Louis XVI. was by his National Convention, in remembrance of thiS great warning example, have now themselves acknowledged that on the further licentiousness qf their Chambers depends their existence or n;:::-existence. Rey now offer a hand to . Prussia, to curb the ilberty of their Chambers, whilst they willingly submit themselves to the general decrees of the Diet, and only give way, in one common spirit of conserva tion, to the necessities of the times. Thence it may be taken for granted for the future, that by a continuation of the general peace, Prussia's principles, especially with re gard to the interchange of political ideas, will be the treneral one, with the exception of Austria, in the territory of the Confederacy, so that the progress of the human mind and of burgher civilization may be restrained within tranquil because determined limits. Thus will the Diet acquire a large intellectual basis, which will elevate it above all the separate Governments of the Confederacy, in so far as the whole intellectual power of the Confederated States concentrates itself in it. ‘• For the true German principles with respect to the interchange of ideas, must always tend to preserve sacred and untouched, first, the local, then the provincial, and finally, the national interests, and in order that this should be the case, the German Governments must specially have a watchful eye, that public discussion shall only arise with respect to uie particular, local, and provincial interests. '['heir liberties and rights must he secured to the family, the commune and the province ; but it must not therefore be permitted to every teacher of public law, and to every political scribbler to ensnare them with chimerical notions of general liberty, and the so called sovereignty of the people." Thus one of the main objects of Prussia in framing , tii2 commercial league-was to carry on an exterminating warfare against civil and religious liberty ; and to effect this, nothing could be more prudent than to take pos session of the custom-Louses. If her project succeed she will accomplish much more than she ever intended. She will injure, if not ruin, the trade of England and France ; she will augment her own influence in the cabinets of Europe ; she will attach to herself, and absolutely become the head of the German Confedera tion ; and she will so weaken the-power. of Austria that, when the cabinet of Vienna comes to examine the dangers that threaten the Empire, all that will remain for the Imperial Court will be, to lament the fatal se curity in which it reposed while Prussia was effecting the dismemberment of the States. We now come to examine the policy of Russia in countenancing the Prussian Commercial League. She was well aware of the advantages which Prussia would derive from that measure ; and yet she hates Prussia, and desires nothing less than' her prosperity—save and except the resuscitation, of Poland. Russia's support of the commercial project was not that Prussia might obtain an influence over the German Confederation, but that that Confederation might throw off the yoke of Austria, and declare itself an independent Govern ment, half federative, half monarchical. The moment the diet has adopted the views of Prussia, that moment will Russia send emissaries to all the minor Courts, to stir up the Princes to throw off what she will then term the ignominious bondage of Prussia. This she calculates upon being able to accomplish without difficulty ; and thus she will have succeeeded in emas culating Austria ; in enraging Prussia ; and in supply ing work for the Cabinets of Western Europe, while she pursues her conquests in the East. Nor will her conquests be confined to that quarter. Ever since the Capture of Vienna by NAPOLEON, Russia has medi tated an extension of her territory in that direction. With her usual diplomatic caution, she has been for • the last ten years busied in laying a train for the de ' struction of the only link in the chain of circumstances which offers. an obstacle to her ambition—the connex tion subsisting between the Emperor of AUSTRIA. and the Confederated States of Germany. Thus stands the question at present. Prussia re- , S i . LONDON, FRIDAY EyENING, DECEMBER 11, 1835. The objects and designs of Prussia in forcing the smaller States of Germany to sanction the commercial league, by which the manufactures of Great Britain and France are shut out from the first marts of handi craft industry in Europe—the non-interference of Austria during the discussions which arose on the project for an uniform system of tolls and custom house regulations—and the secret encouragement which this scheme met with from the Representatives of Russia at the Court of Berlin, begin seriously to attract the notice, and to absorb the attention of every person of enlarged views, anxious for the preservation of the rights and privileges enjoyed by the free in habitants of Western Europe. The Cabinets of Lon-, don and Paris evince some desire to retrieve the mis takes and correct the errors into which they have fallen with respect to this measure ; and if supported by the people, doubtless meditate the adoption. of Such proceedings as may be requisite to assert their respective rights, and the national dignity. Never theless, it is a subject of deep regret that necessary enquiries and movements shOuld be so long delayed as to treble the danger, the expense, and the respon sibility of snaking them. It is to be lamented that free governments seldom display that sagacious fore sight, that persevering watchfulness, and that con centrated readiness and energy, which characterise the executive policy of absolute monarchies. In this respect England may be said to have always been pe culiarly unfortunate. From motives of political jus tice for which we have never obtained credit, and from feelings of national honour which our enemies have generally been incapable of appreciating, we have never prepared for war till it threatened the violation of our territory, lest we should be suspected of having provoked it ; and when victory declared in our favour, we have retired from the field as if the good people of England only fought for glory, and were above re ceiving the just reward of their prowess, and the re payment of those sums drawn from the public purse to defray the necessary expenses of the expedition. Neither does it appear that our Government has grown wiser in this respect. Not a day passes over our heads in which changes are not taking place in our_ Continental relations, which ought to convince British statesmen that a war—in which all the power ful Governments of Europe will be involved—is not distant ; and yet, after our usual fashion, we neither seek to avert it by our firmness, nor to direct it by our THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, DECEMIV:R 11, 1F35. Bards the league as the consummation of a great victory gained by her superior foresight and sagacity over Austria ; Russia considers it as an instrument by which she will be able to accomplish the raising up of a third power, capable of disputing the supremacy of Prussia and Austria, and thus hurling defiance in the teeth of both—a prelude to the destruction of all three by the CZAR. If France and England could only be brought to bestir themselves, the people of Germany would soon cut a passage for themselves out of the labyrinths in which the Cabinets of Prussia and Russia seek to en close them. It is unworthy of great and free govern ments to remain passive spectators of the Royal and Imperial game which the Courts of Berlin and St. Petersburg are now playing, with the common object of brutalizing and enslaving mankind. But indepen dently of higher considerations, our interests demand that we should take measures for abolishing the com mercial league—by restricting the negociations of Prussia to questions affecting the rights of her own subjects. Austria 'must see, when the question is brought fairly before her, that her very existence de pends upon her adoption of the policy of Great Britain and France. tions. This was considered as a very happy result, because a part of the einbarrassments of the Court of Madrid arose from the difference in the political views of M. de Rayneval and Mr. Villiers. This coincidence of views in the Cabinets which have to regulate political affairs both at Madrid and Lisbon, is highly necessary in the state of affairs in the Peninsula. M. de Rayneval did not dis semble that the late changes at Lisbon caused new embar rassments ; however, his letter it is said, ended with these words, " M. Mendizabal is sure of a majority in the two Chambers, and the will of this Minister is to proceed in the regular course of a prudent and constitutional system."- Messager, Dec. 9.

Perpe . tuelles, Mr. O'CoNNELL has addressed a letter to the Re formers of Ireland, in which he observes, " the hopes of Ireland are bound up with the stability of the pre sent Government. It is the-first that ever acted on the principle of equal justice to, and perfect impar tiality between, all classes and persuasions of Irish men. For the first time for near seven centuries we have a Ministry giving practical proofs of the sincerity of its professions' of abolishing all political distinctions in Ireland, and of grounding its preferences and se lections on the individual merits of the persons pre ferred and selected—and not on the creed, class, or party to which such persons belong. Besides, the government of Ireland is delegated to persons who have so much of excellent judgment and exqui site good sense, that their conduct enhances the value of every act of conciliation, and produces a conviction, that when they fail, in any useful measure, such failure is to be attributed to the want of sufficient means, or of sufficient power, and not to the want of inclination or exertion." Mr. O'CONNELL here accords no more credit to the Ministry than they are justly entitled to : and we hope, therefore, since he finds them so willing to advance the interests of his country, he will at once dismount from his hobby—ihe Repeal of the Union—a bare allusion to which, like those he has lately indulged in, implies neither more nor less than that he is hopeless of any other moans of effecting the regeneration of Ireland. His present letter •is written in a far better spirit than his last, and recommends the Irish Re formers to form " that which, since the commencement of a Whig Government under Lord GREY, has been hitherto wanting—namely, a Government party,—a party acting in unison with the Irish Government," which, he adds, is the only effectual way to overthrow the Orange Ascendancy system in Ireland. We copied yesterday, under our usual head, an ar ticle from the Morning Advertiser, which reflected in a spirit of bitterness on the conduct of Mr. O'CoN NEIL, and his supposed connection with the Govern ment. So much was that article at variance with the ge neral character of our worthy contemporary for libe rality and support of a Reform Ministry, that the organs of the Tories took it under their especial protection—nay they extolled it to the skies, and in ferred that nothing less than a break-up of the administration would be the consequence. The Stan dard in particular was quite eloquent on the subject, and congratulated the country (that is the Tories) upon the coming glories of place, patronage, and pelf ! The article must have emanated from some dissatis fied member of the Ministry, or one deep in their secrets ;- for the Advertiser " had lately given proof of a more intimate acquaintance with the Ministe rial movements than many other Journals," &c. This would have been all very well, but for the follow ing disclaimer which appears in the Advertiser of this morning : " The Standard was pleased last evening to re-publish, and give especial notice to an article which appeared in our paper of •yesterday, respecting the dictatorial controul which Mr. O'Connell, and his Tory opponents, would have it believed that he has the capability to exercise over the present Ministry. Our contemporary is mistaken in the assumption that the article was either , " a Ministerial ma nifesto," or written on information obtained from any member of the Cabinet, or party directly or indirectly connected with the Government." The whole of the Paris papers of Wednesday have been received. According to the Bon Sens, Eng land has renewed her entreaties to be permitted to act as a mediator between France and the United States. The same journal states that England has a visible interest in the affair ; inasmuch as a war against Russia would demand from the Allies the union of their whole fleet against the common ,enemy. Not withstanding that reports were prevalent to the effect that such proffered mediation had bee❑ refused, yet it would seem that Lord GRANVILLE had received instructions from the Foreign Office to act boldly, and without any fear of the cons - e- - quenccs ; which, of course, could only be under stood in the light of a pledge from Lord PAL NIERSTON that England would not permit a war to take place. In this view of the question the . King of the FRENCH and his Cabinet entirely concur. Be sides, all the members of the Royal Family are hostile to a war against the Americans. Lord ClitA NVI L LE is said to have communicated his instructions freely and without reserve to the CITIZEN KING, by whom he has latterly been received with extraordinary marks of kindness. Notwithstanding this, the Court of Ver sailles does all in its power to conciliate the Cabinet of Russia ; for when it was noised abroad that M. TIMERS and M. GISQUET had readily assented to the celebration of the Polish revolution, and had given up the CZAR to the exiles, the Cabinet was so alarmed, that a contradiction of the fact was published in the Ministerial journals, and copies of them in stantly forwarded to Couut PA HLEN, the Russian Ambassador. The extreme solicitude of France, in endeavouring to keep on, good terms with the CZAR, is really inexplicable. The Temps announces that Russia is preparing armaments, t which are unques tionably destined to act against England and France. By the latest accounts from Berlin we learn that Count PA H LEN wrote to the Imperial Court for in structions respecting the publication of the EMPE RO R'S Speech, at Warsaw, in the Journal des Debats, and till these have been received it is impossible to learn in what light the CZAR will view the comments. that liberal Europe has made upon his address to the Poles. Should satisfaction be deManded on the part of Russia, and that satisfaction he given by France, the consequences may be lamentable indeed, as the CZAR may then thunder with irk unity upon Warsaw. The only intelligence from Spain contained in these Journals will be found in our - extracts from them. On Tuesday the Court of Peers passed sentence on ten of the prisoners of the category of Luneville. The prisoner THOMAS was condemned to expatriation for life ; BERNARD to incarceration for twenty, and STILLER and TRICOLET for ten years. The others were sentenced to confinement for terms varying from five to three years. Count PORTALIS'S Report on the :subject of the FIESCIII conspiracy was sent to all the public Journals on Tueaday. We are obliged, by press of matter, to delay the publication of a summary of it till to-morrow. It is altogether a curious document ; but fails in its attempts to trace the conspiracy to the machinations of either the Carlists or the Republicans. We have only to add the expression of our regret that a paper which has done so much in the cause of Reform, should have for a moment forgotten the true interests of that cause by giving currency to observa tions which can only sow dissension among Refor mers. It was by unanimity during the last Session that the R dormers turned the Tories out of office, for which we nave Sir ROBERT PEEL'S own autho rity ; and it is only by a steady and honourable confi dence in each other, sacrificing petty jealousies, that they can hope to effect further reforms. PARIS, DEC. 9.—NEWS OF THE MORNING.—The Me morial des Pyrenees relates that a report had been spread, on the passage of a courier, that a movement had taken place at Madrid and in the Chambers, on the news of a change of Ministry in Portugal ; that, in consequence of this movement, the Mendizabal Ministry was overthrown, the Queen deprived of the Government, and Mina pro claimed Dictator. The Memorial adds, that this news is not guaranteed to it as certain. It is in its number dated the sth, but printed on the 4th, that it gives this news. As the latest letters from Madrid are of the 30th of No vember, it was not impossible that news of a late date might have been received at Paris ; yet it would be very difficult to believe that nothing of the kind should have transpired here. Supposing the fact to be so, the Journal does not think that these extreme measures can become heroic in the hands of Mina. He is not a political character, says the Journal ; fatigues and illness have accelerated old age. The charm of his name is lost in Navarre ; he has done nothing in Catalonia to recover the fascination which it formerly had ; and Mina has now inveterate enemies among the most energetic men in Spain, whom even the interest of their common cause cannot induce to approximate to him. The Constitutionnel says, a letter from M. de .Rayneval is spoken of as being very satisfactory respecting the state of affairs at Madrid. In the first place M. de Ravneval, between whom and Mr. Villiers some coolness had arisen, has entirely joined with him to support M. Mendizabal, and the best harmony appeared to subsist between the French and English Lega- , A 7 ViV ~E 44 0b- 22 14 c i. i'Ve are certain that our patriotic contemporary w _ _ upon reflection see matters in this light, and do his best, as he has hitherto done, to stimulate public sup port in a cause which all true Reformers have so much at heart.

Our arrivals this morning are of a very limited description, owing, no doubt, to the easterly winds. Consols, which left off yesterday' at 91+ for January Ac count, opened at 91 2 , +-. Reduced, 90 ; Exchequer Bills, 16 18 ; India Bonds, 35 ; Bank Stock, 210 k 211 ; India ditto, 256 257. The information in one of the Morning Journals that Mr. Rothschild had accepted 35,0001. out of the 60,0001. drawn by the Portuguese Government, was generally expected to have produced an improvement in the Por tuguese Stocks this morning, but this has not been the case as yet. Portuguese, which closed yesterday at 83+, may be quoted, 83+; Three per Cents., 54-i, the price they left off at ; Spanish Active Bonds, 451; Colombian, 31+ 321 ; Mexitan, 391 • Dutch, 21 per Cents., 54 55 ; Five per Cents., 100 The Express from Paris is of the same meagre description as for several days past. According to appearances, no war will take place between France and the United States ; indeed they are anxiously waiting the President's message ; therefere nothing decisive will be known until its arrival. HALF-PAST ONE. Since the early part of the morning both the British and Foreign Markets have been heavy, and Consols receded from 918 4to 91+ for the Account. The real cause for this de pression is not as )let ascertained, but we apprehend it is from the precarious state of affairs in the East of Europe, which will soon attract attention. Exchequer Bills, 16 18 ; India Bonds, 3 ; Bank Stock, 211. In the Foreign Market the acceptance of 35,0001. by Mr. Rothschild for the Portuguese Government, has had a con trary effect upon that Stock, which receded to 824 ; at pre sent, 824 83+. This is owing to a p reva ili ng op i n i on t h a t th a t gentleman has not accepted the bills in question. Spanish Active Bonds, 44ti • Columbian, 314 ; Mexi can, 39 ; Dutch Two-and-a- alf per Cents., 54fR ; Five per Cents., 10 0 +l. No further arrivals from the Peninsula. THREE O'CLOCK. Consols for the Account, 911, M R . SALomoNs.—Here we see another of the excluding and persecuting effects of connecting Church with State, and uniting these totally distinct questions, re ligion and politics. Every time the subject is brought be fore the public it presents some new and ungracious feature, and strengtheni the widely-spreading conviction, that all religious qu alifications for purely civil and political offices ought to be done away.--Yo rk Courant. The claims of Mr. Buckingham to compensation from the East India Company, for the destruction of his property in Bengal, by the suppression of his Journal, with out trial or conviction, are attracting the attention of the whole country, and petitions from almost every town of importance are preparing to both Houses of Parliament, in favour of those claims.—Taunton Courier. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.) HODGES V. GRAY. This action was brought to recover -damages for various breaches of covenant, Mr. TIIESSIGER, Mr. PLATT, and Mr. WHITE con ducted the plaintiff's case. The former stated that the plaintiff was lately one of the firm of Hodges, the distillers. In the year 1629, the defendant having been assisted by the plaintiffi and being then very much embarrassed, a friendly commission was sued out, and by an arrange ment with his assignees, it was agreed that he should have the stock and lease of the house, 97, Bond street, for 2,2001-., which was advanced by the plain tiff. In the November of 1829, - the plaintiff entered into a partnership with the defendant. The deeds then entered into covenanted that the plaintiff was to re ceive interest-upon the half of the sum lie had advanced ; that he was to advance other sums as they were required, upon which also he was to be allowed interest. The de fendant was to receive 16/. 13s. 4d. monthly, out of the clear profits, if any accrued. The plaintiff was to have the power to determine the partnership at any time, on giving a month's notice, when he was to have the stock and busi . ness, on releasing the defendant from the debts of the concern. The plaintiff had advanced the sum, amounting to 7,749/., besides the former sum of 2,2001. In 1834, Mr. Hodges was not satisfied, and desired to have an in quiry into the accounts ; but as there was some demur, he gave notice to determine the partnership, on the 12th February, 1835. Before the expiration of the month, Mr. Hodges had procured a gentleman who proposed to pur chase the concern, but be required a three months' trial before he agreed. Mr. Gray had agreed to give that trial, but in the mean time he had most unfortu nately seen his attorney, and then he refused to allow any one to come on the premises, and put the plaintiff at defiance, unless he paid him the sum of 5001., and was allowed to take the whole of the furniture then in the House. Mr. Hodges refused to accede to this most impudent offer, and insisted upon Gray quitting the premises, according to the terms of the deed of partnership. :The notice expired on the 12th March, and when the gen tleman who was appointed by Mr. Hodges . .to superintend the business went to take it, he found that Mr. Gray had barricaded the premises with grates, and other heavy arti cles being placed at the back of the doors. The plain tiff had then no other step to take in order to save himself, than to make the defendant bankrupt, and under the Com missioners' warrant possession was obtained on the 30th of March. The first breach for whiCh the plaintiff sought damages was for the shutting up of the shop, whereby the business was ruined, the receipts having fallen off from 1,5001. in six months to 1861. The next breach was a more serious one. The Jury would remember that the de fendant was to receive 16/. 13s. 4d. per month from the clear profits. Now he would show that the defendant had himself acknowledged, that during the five years there had been a loss on the first year of 1,0941., the second 5901., the third 90/., and the other 424/., and all that loss did not include one farthing of interest due to the plaintiff ;. yet the defendant had gone on taking • this monthly allowance to the amount of 1,2001. They also charged him with having abstracted money to the =punt of 6,0001. from the partnership funds, and expended it for his own use, and also with having improperly charged per sonal .expenses, such as furniture and clothing for his fa mily, and even the pew in the church, to the partnership account. He trusted that he would not be kept from laying these facts in evidence before them, and then he would have entitled himself to their verdict with exemplary damages. The Learned Gentlemen proved the case as stated, by the attornies of the plaintiff and an accountant. Mr. HUMFREY submitted that the plaintiff must be nonsuited. He believed that this was the first case of a partner bringing an action against the other partner, for things done during the running of the partnership. The Learned JUDGE overruled the objection ; the action was maintainable upon the. ground of the breaches of the covenant contained in the deed. Mr. HUMFREY then addressed the Jury for the de fendant. He said the defendant was a very ill-used man, for they had heard from the plaintiff's witnesses that Mr. Hodges had used his command of money in order to set the whole forms of the law against his client ; but they had heard that he had had his fiat of bank ruptcy discharged with costs. He trusted that would be the case in the present action, for the plaintiff had no right to bring it here ; the same matters were in the Court of Chancery, where they ought to be confined. A Jury was not competent to clear up the whole of the partnership accounts for five years. After commenting upon the evi dence,he said the greatest stress was laid upon the fact of the defendant having taken 16/. 13s. 4d. a month — look at what was in proof, Mr. Gray had not a shilling when the partnership was formed ; was he then to starve because there were no profits? Mr. Hodges seemed to say that the defendant had no right to go to the butcher and the baker when he had so much physic in his shop. He was to have no money—then he would have no thing else to keep his family and the apprentice from starving. If they felt obliged to give damages he trusted they would think the smallest coin as sufficient compen sation. His LORDSHIP summed up, but the Jury bad not re turned their verdict when our reporter left. ROLLS COURT.-(THIS DAY.) WILLIAMS V. WILLIAMS. His Honour, tIV3 MASTER OF THE ROLLS, gave judg ment in this case to-day, the question in which was, whether a gift was void for uncertainty. The testator in the case, after giving various legacies to Baptist congrega tions, the poor, and several religious institutions, gave the residue of his property to trustees upon trust, to apply it to such benevolent, charitable, and religious purposes as they should think right and proper. The question in the case was, whether that gift was not void for uncertainty. His Honour after going through the authorities at some length, declared his opinion to be that the gift was void, and therefore the personal residue must go to the next of kin, and the real to the heir at law. - - - THE ICE-BOUND WHALERS. What has been done in Hull to aid the seamen impri soned for the winter at Davis' Straits ? We grieve to say that we are unable to furnish a satisfactory answer. Instead of being enabled to specify the steps that have been taken at the port of Hull to succour the six hundred captives in the frozen seas, we can do no more than repeat an unaccre dited statement, that " A Memorial has been forwarded to the Lords of the Admiralty, praying their Lordships to send out, with all expedition, two vessels with a supply of provi sions, coals, and other necessaries, to enable the crews of the detained vessels to remain with their ships." By whom this Memorial was prepared—by whom it was subscribed — by what arguments the expediency of framing it was sup ported—are points on which we can supply no light to the community. To Colonel Thompson the friends of the seamen are in debted fur every practical attempt that has been made to relieve them. The plan suggested by our representative is obviously that from which the most beneficial practical re sults might be anticipated—namely, to organise committees (not closely and exclusively), to ascertain from science and experience the best and earliest mode of rendering the re quisite assistance, and having submitted a well-digested case to the country, to urge it upon the executive, sanctioned and seconded by the public voice. Perhaps as good an argument as any to induce etiquette Ito give way to humanity, may be derived from the fact that the Whale Fishery was encouraged by a Government bounty on the vessels employed in it. This bounty, first granted, we believe, in 1732, and withdrawn in 1824, has been estimated at a total of more than two millions. Surely, when money has been so liberally expended to tempt Bri tish mariners to brave the dangers of Polar navigation, it is not too much to claim from the State the benefit of its re sources to rescue, from the worst calamities of a hazardous and toilsome occupation, several hundreds of its most de serving subjects.—Hull Observer.

STANDARD NOVELS. No. 49. Bentley, London. 1835. The fictions comprised in this Volume are, the " Tales of the Alhambra," by Washington Irving , the " Last of the Abencerages," translated from the French of Chateaubriand ; and the " Involuntary Pro phet," by Horace Smith. The first of these Tales was published by Murray some four or .five .years since ; but though it had, we believe, a good average sale, it was by no means so popular as either the Sketch Book," or the " Bracebridge Hall" of the same author. Yet it is every way equal to these justly admired Works. Indeed, in one respect it is superior ; for with quite as much polish, it has infinitely less elaborate ornateness of style. Its descriptions, too, of the magnificent scenery of Granada ; of the old Moorish ruins of the Alhambra, round which so many romantic associations are entwined ; and of the various per sonages who dwelt among these imposing relics of Moslem splendour, have the rare merit of having • been drawn on the spot, while the vivid feelings which they called up were yet fresh on the author's mind. There is no writer of the clay who possesses such a power of picturesque description as Mr. Wash ington Irving. Whether he sketches the shores of the Hudson ; the long rolling plains of the Western prai ries ; the old Dutch cities, with their quaintly cos tumed inhabitants, of New York* . ; or the deserted Court of the Lions, and Hall of the Ambassadors among the mountains of Granada ; he places the objects in full view before the eye, by a series of graphic and particular touches, minute as those of Crabbe, and imaginative as those of Scott. No where is this enviable faculty, which so many affeei yet so few succeed in, more prominent, than in his Tales of the Alhambra—to our thinking, • the best by far of his works. We are just fresh from the perusal of this delightful ,production of blended fact and fiction, and feel the skill and sensibility of our guide, at every stoll we have taken with him, at day break, at sun-set, or in the mellow moonlight, through the valley of the Darro, the garden of Lindarasa, or among the forlorn courts, arcades, terraces, and water-falls of the Palace of Boabdil. Mr. Irving re sided for upwards of three months in the very heart of the Alhambra, taking up his abode in the suite of rooms once fitted up for the use of Phillip the Fifth and the beautiful Elizabeth of Parma, and enjoying his siesta beside the fountain in the Court of the Lions, in the true spirit of an enthusiast pilgrim. He breathed the air of romance, in every gale that came wafted to him from the near Sierra Nivada; he drank of the waters of legendary lore at their fountain-head not a step he took, but it was on enchanted ground. On opening his chamber window to let in the fresh air of the morning, the first object on which his eve fell was the little mountain pass up which the Christian warriors ascended in their last attack on Granada ; below him was the Hall wherein the gallant Abencer ages met their doom ; and in the distance, on a high cliff towering right above the town of Granada, the spot on which Boabdil stood when, with weeping eyes and clasped hands, he turned to take his last look at the home he was quitting for ever. Scenes like these must have inspired even a pawnbroker ; what wonder, then, that they filled the imagination of a man so alive to such impressions as Mr. Irving ? Those who have not yet read his " Tales of the Alhambra," may rely on it that they have a rich treat in store for them- The various legends which he intersperses through the work, are not mere cold, fantastic essays or the invention ; but were all picked up and composed among the scenes wherein they are laid. ; To read them, is just like reading one of those tales in the Arabian Nights, about Haroun Alraschid and his Vizir Giaffar, which the Princess Saieherezade told nightly to King Schariar. The remainder of the volume is made up of two able fictions, the best of which is that translated from Chateaubriand. THE SISTER OF CHARITY. Churton, London, 1835. Mr. Farhill,' the author of this volume (which ought to have been published anonymously) will never make a poet until he has learned to write better lines than— " Hail, three-coloured standard, hail I Brave Parisians, see advance Your ntw prize, it flaps the gale, Hail the signal, generous France !" which have no more fancy or sentiment to recommend them—and inEnitely less rythmical acc uracv - -tban , that immortal quatrain, " Thirty days bath Sep tember.'' What, too, does the author—who, if he be not very young, which we hope he is, is incurablemean bY• saying, " But thy triumph, modern Sparta, In thy soil may best be shown, For each letter of our charter Is graven on a paving-stoner Now we can assure Mr. Farhill, on what we deal competent authority, that there is not a charter in axis" tence, and never was, engraved on a paving-stone . But perhaps the gentleman is metaphorical ; but even so, metaphor should at least have some slight meaning to recommend it. The remainder of the volume is, very little superior in thought and expression to the specimens we have just quoted.. [FROM A CORRESPONDENT.j—We are happy t.° learn, on such good. authority as the Times of this morning, that the bill for 35, 0001 ., protested by this Carbonell, has been protected by Mr. Rothschild, 11 l whose favour it was drawn, as it will, we trust, secure . the payment of the dividends on the 30th, due the, of January. We hope that Mr. Rothschild will like" wise interfere for some heavy accruing engagement s, , which, it is said, are shortly due, :and when the Ist 0' June of next year shall arrive. FUNERAL OF THE LATE DUKE OF BEAU' FORT.—The interment of the remains of his Grace the lilt°, Duke of Beaufort took place on Wednesday last. 111 ' Grace's remains were interred" at Badminton. The boY was placed-in the Grand Hall early in the morning. 11!,e, coffin, covered with rich crimson velvet, was inlaid with gu" ornament's ;on the breast-plate the Beaufort Arms We re finely engraved, with the following inscription underneath H enr y Charles, sixth Duke of Beaufort, K.G., Lor ( ci l Lieutenant of the counties of Gloucester, Monmouth, a" Brecon, born 22nd December, 1766, deceased 23d Novo: 1835." The Ducal Coronet, resting on a crimson velve', cushion, was placed on the coffin. The funeral was strictl) private. SADLER'S WELLS.—The Miller's Maid has bee li brought out here, for the express purpose of introducl„q Heslop as Giles. A few weeks back we noticed this ra p id improving actor's performance of the same part at the r i ,; vilion, when we prognosticated his future success. shall, therefore, say no more on this oceasion than that 1,i3 efforts at this house have confirmed us in our former or nions of his merits. He has repeated the character si% ~ times, and has each time been called before the curtain to receive the congratulations of the audience. The Phiev i , e of Mrs. Wilkinson is beautifully interesting ; in fact, he last scene with Giles is excellent. Peerless Poole has be e f revived with all its wonted splendour. Cobham sustaine d his original part with great effect ; and the whole of tb other characters were well sustained. At a Tory dinner, in Leeds, some time ago, t ile oranges of the dessert were dyed blue. ORDINATION EXTRAORDINARY.—At the neral Ordination holden at Bishopthorpe, by his Grace Archbishop of York, on Sunday the 6th instant, the 1 1° ,,.: W. Putsey, Master of the Grammar School, Pickeri'f and Author of a Practical English Grammar, a Syston Practical and Speculative Arithmetic, &c. &c., vvas mitted to the sacred office of a Priest, on the nominat l i ° o Pickering.;of the Rev. J. Ponsonby, Vicar of as we s his son, the Rev. William Putsey, to the coracles o 1 Ormesby and Eston, in this county, on the nomination a the Rev. James Thompson, Vicar. That the father the son should be ordained at the same time, is a dyed of stance, it is presumed, without a parallel in the annnis b f; history ; and should we should live to the age of Eocktv son, it is more than probable that we should never see like again.—York Courant. . ~4.
