The public read the letter and laughed at it—the humour was 131 oader, the joke more praCtical, and the design as inoffensively ludicrous - as what prompted the publication of W4LPomes fictitious epistle from FREDERICK, King of Prussia, to J. J. RoSsEme. But the Court saw enough in the crime of Making the KING the 'object of merri, ment, to induce it to make the editor of the Quotidienne the object of its especial indignation. He was brought to trial a second time on Monday, sentenced to be in carcerated for one year, and to pay a fine to the KING Of 10,000 francs (4001.) ; having, on the preceding Friday, underwent the sentence of another year's impri sonment and the payment of a fine of -5,000 francs (2001.) Here is an instance of the freedom of the press in France ! Here is a sample of the syStem by which LOUIS-PHILIPPE hopes to coerce his people into passive instruments of his sovereign will I But this war of exter- Thination, carried on against the assertors of social and political right, cannot continue unchecked much longer. The French people begin to manifest symptoms of abhorrence of such :tvrannieal oppressions, by sub scribing the sums in which the condemned journalists are amerced, in the shape of fines payable- to the KING. This sympathy with the sufferinfi,s of the press must in tune lead to more important results. Count ADRIEN DE COLONNE .has addressed a letter to the Quoti dienne, calling upon the cbuductors of it to open a subscription forthwith, that the public may, together with discharging the fines, have an opportunity of ex pressing its indignant reprobation of the base attempts that are being made to deprive the press of its consti tutional liberty. The Moniteur publishes the following official com munication from Bayonne :—" MINA quitted Elisondo on the 20th inst., taking with him some cannons left behind by the Carlsts, and a great number of prisoners. Re left General BORENA with eight battalions in the Bastan. San Estevan, Urdach, Roncesvalles, and Burguette are 'about to be fortified and garrisoned. MINA. has given orders- for the arming of volunteer corps in the Bastan. The foundries of Dona Maria and San Estevan, and several houses of Arrayez, have been burnt." In the sitting. of the Chamber of Deputies of the 24th inst., M. TIIIERS gave notice of a project of law Which he would shortly introduce for the establishment of railways, and the improvement of the means of lo c°Tilotion throughout France. This announcement was received with marked approbation by the Chamber. The French Government has at last consented to allow the prisoners of April the liberty of choosing their own counsel, provided the persons chosen be members of the French liar. The preparations for the trials are nearly completed, so that, if it come on at all, there will be no longer an excuse for delay after the close of April. In the Chamber of Peers, some Petitions against the trials have been presented ; and it would seem, from their reception, that several of t ile Peers took the same view of the proposed pro ceedings as the petitioners. It is rumoured that the prisoners will make use of their privilege to tiabarass the CROWN, by each choosing separate counsel ; and as each advocate must have time allowed to address the Court at full length, it will require three Or fo ur years constant sitting, on the part of the Court, tp go through the trials. Another month, and *o shall kiiow what the KING really proposes doing, to extricate himself from his difficult and dangerous position. FRENCH Fri N —Yams, MARCH `A. Five pvr Cents., Itrif. 75c. (Ise.

Thenews of the recal of the French Minister from Washington was officially communicated to the Government of the United States on the 23d of February, and on the following day the Secretary of State, Mr. FORSYTH, dispatched a note to the• American Minister at Paris, announcing his recal, unless the Chambers agreed to pass the Indem nity Bill. After some official preliminaries this note contains the following brief and pithy communication : " In the present position of our relations with France, the President directs that, if the appropriation to execute the treaty shall be; or shall have been, re jected by the French Legislature, you forthwith quit the territory of France with all the Legation, and re turn to the United States by the ship of war which will be in readiness at Havre to bring you back to your own country. If the appropriation be made, you may return to England or Holland, leaving Mr. BA RTON in charge of affairs. Notify the department of the 'place selected as your temporary residence, and await further instructions." The whole of the coreespondenee having been read, Mr. COMBRELENG moved several resolutions on the subject, which were agreed to, and the documents just read, referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. In these resolutions, it is declared that further negociation on the part of the Government of the United States is quite unnecessary. Thus stands the whole question. It now remains with France to decide whether a war will really take place or not. Sir ROBERT PEEL, with infinite coolness, asked Lord JOHN RUSSELL last night to inform him of the nature of the measure which he intended to pro pose on Monday next—in other words, to furnish him with the weapons to beat him with. Lord JOHN RUSSELL very properly declined to comply with Sir ROBERT'S request. IMMENSE BRIEF.—The brief for Mr. Peto, the architect of the London Custom-house, comprised 12 reams of paper-6,000 sheets. Yesterday the Bishop of Exeter had an interview with Sir R. Peel at the Right Hon. Baronet's house in White hall-gardens. The Duke of Cleveland has issued cards for a grand political banquet on Sunday, the sth of April, at Cleveland House, to some of the late Ministers, and a distinguished party. Yesterday the Duke of Wellington, as Warden of the Cinque Ports, accompanied by the Deputy- Warden and other gentlemen, had an interview, as a d e p u t a ti on , wit h Si r Robert Peel at the Treasury, on business connected with the port of Dover. We understand that a Tory Political Union, under the name of " Conservative Club," is established in this town ; and it is said that it is intended to bring out another Tory paper, in support of which the Right Hon. the Earl of Dart mouth has subscribed 5001.—Birmingham Journal. Sir Robert Peel is understood to have been very much displeased with both Sir George Clerk and Mr. Charles Ross on Tuesday night, for misleading him as to the result of the division on the Chatham question. It is said that one of the Exchange brokers, who has absconded from the City with a large sum of money, pro. cured through forged bills, was some time since tried at the Old Bailey, feor robbing his furnished lodgings, and acquitted ; but that, from the high respect in which he was held in the City, DO one ever for a moment suspected that the prisoner and the Exchange broker were the same individuals.—Morn. iaag Paper. _ GENERAL JACKSON'S SNUFF-BOX.—We have been furnished with an extract of a letter from Washington, the writer of which, in describing an interview with the Pre sident of the United States, relates that the latter showed him a very handsome porcelain snuff-box, which he had just then received as a present from England. It contained a paper, stating that it was offered as a grateful memorial from a Bri tish soldier of the kind treatment he received while a prisoner of General Jackson. The old soldier stated that he was now employed in a manufactory of porcelain in Staffordshire, and begged that the General would receive the box as a humble tribute of his gratitude. The victory obtained on Tuesday night in the House of Commons by the Reformers has been already attended with the most beneficial results. It has confirmed the few of that party who were in what may be called a wavering mood. We have heard that several Members of this class--we know of two—have this morning put their names down to the dinner party to be given to Lord J. Russell on Saturday.—Morning Two sisters, born near St. Pol, in the Pas de Ca lais, France, took the veil together before the revolution of 1789. On being driven from their convent, they continued to inhabit the same dwelling, having but one wish—that neither might survive the other. They had both passed their 80th year, when last week both were attacked with a mortal illness on the same day, both received extreme unction at the same moment, and in a very short time afterwards they both expired. In England, the condemnations to death for 21 years,, from 1813 to 1833 inclusive, are given as 23,700 ; executions, 933 ; giving 1,128 average annual condemnations and 44 executions ; an enormous proportion when compared with those of France or Belgium. The following table will show this proportion still more distinctly. The medium executions in France from 1825 to 1832, amounted to 67, or 1 for 477,000 souls. In England, from 1827 to 1833, to 44, or 1 for 295,000 souls. In Belgium, from 1815 to 1829, to 4 1-7, or 1 for 6E0,000. Mlt• 'WARD'S TREMAINE.---It is with no small satisfaction that we observe the intention .to include Mr. Ward's excellent and right minded work, " Tremaine," in Colburn's Novelists, of which it is to form the forthcoming specimen. It is extremely rare, and equally delightful, to find fiction, in its most amusing form, rendered subservient to the high and pure moral purposes that are the main-spring of this celebrated composition—and we h o p e t o see " Tremame," in its new and inexpensive shape, introduced into every family where there are youthful minds to form, and youthful hearts to touch with the impulses of virtue. ADVENTURES OF HAJJI BABA, OF ISPAIIAN. —This admirable book, which is one of the few out of a myriad works of fiction produced by our prolific intellectual era des tined to survive in the esteem of posterity, has been added by Mr. Bentley to the list of " Standard Novels." Hajji is in deed a classic; Morier has become the rival of Le Sage, and, taking his hero from the far East, has given to the Eng lish language its own " Gil Blas." To present such a publi cation on cheap terms to the reading public is to be a public benefactor. To the hypochondriac, or to the exhausted stu dent, we recommend, as a prescription, to take a chapter or two of " MO" in the crisis of their maladies, and their evil humours will gradually disperse, and the animal spirits rally into cheerfulness and healthful action. An amusing frontis piece, by Cawse, representing " Hajji" shaving the old lamb skin merchant, in the presence and to the admiration of the Turcoroans, illustrates this volume.—Morning Herald. IMPORTANT MEETING OF LICENSED VIC TUALLERS.—On Tuesday evening a very numerous meeting of the Licensed Victuallers of the parishes of St. Margaret and St. John, Westminster, took place at the Prince's Head, Storey's-gate, for the purpose of taking into consideration the effect of a circular lately issued by the Licensing Magistrates of this district, requiring the Victuallers to close their houses at a different hour on the Sabbath day than that now in force. Mr. Smith, of the Bricklayer's Arms, Strutton-ground, was called to the Chair, and read the circular. Mr. Smith then moved that a petition to the Licensing Magistiates be pre pared, to be considered and settled by a Committee hereafter to be appointed. This motion was seconded by Mr. Dixon, of Downing-street, and carried unanimously. Mr. Gleggett moved that circulars be issued to all the Licensed Victuallers of the two parishes, for a general meeting of the two parishes, at the Prince's Head, on Thursday, the 2d of April next. This was seconded by Mr. Maynard, aid also carried. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman for his able conduct in the chair, and the meeting broke up. LIVERPOOL CORN-EXCHANGE, MARCH 24. At our Corn-Exchange this morning there was a middling at tendance of the trade, and small show of samples of fine new wheat and oats. For wheat the demand was limited, but in the retail sales made of Irish former prices were realized; other kinds were flat. Oats were dull, and id. cheaper, 3s. '2d. being the top price of the best. Malt, malting barley, and beans were without change in value, and littl e done in either. Coarse flour was more inquired for, and rather dearer, being scarce ;_but for the finest kinds there was little inquiry. Meal was 3d. cheaper, 265. 9d. being the extreme price of any Irish. At the close of the market there was an auction of 22,600 bushels of wheat (bankrupt's property)—namely, 2,900 blishels Odessa free, 11,200 bushels ditto in bond, and about 8;600 bushels of Canadian red in bond. The first parcel went off at 3s. 2d., the second at 4s. 4d., and the latter at 2s. I Id. and 3s. per 701 b. All the wheat was unsweet. LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, MARCH 24. WI- have again experienced a good demand for cotton to-day. The sales are about 4,500 bales, at yesterday's full prices,-- viz., 300 Maranhams, 144 d. to 14id. ; 400 Bahias, Hid. to 121 d. ; 400 Surats, lid. to lid. Remainder in America, from 93d. to 18, 1 , 1 11. The state of afFairs regarding the Ministry excites increased interest in the City, and a confident opinion is now expressed that the retirement of the Cabinet Ministers is cer tain to take place, subsequent to the division on the motion relative to the Irish Church. It has been stated to-day that a portion of the Cabinet have pressed upon Sir Robert Peel the policy of again dissolving the Parliament. This course, however, we are assured, is most decidedly objected to by the Premier. It has been also currently stated this afternoon that Ministers, being pretty confident of a defeat on Monday next, have tendered their resignation ; but this report is at least pre mature. The unsettled condition of affairs relative to the Ministry continues to operate prejudicially upon the public securities, added to the belief that the Directors of the Bank of England are gradually decreasing the circulatii.ln of Bank notes.—Morning Paper. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1835. COURT OF CHANCER --(x HIS pAYO PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY. Ti. the Lords, official returns were laid on the table, after which there was an adjournment. In the Commons, Lord SANDON reported that the sit ting Member for Droitwich was duly elected. The Chelsea Waterworks' Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. Petitions were presented against the Eccle siastical Court Bill, and also against the additional duty on spirit licences. A petition was presented against the sub stitution of measure for weight in the London corn trade. Mr. TOOKE presented n petition from Gravesend, respect ing a piece of ground belonging to the Ordnance, near the Pier, when, after much discussion, it was suggested_ that a person cognizant of its value should be s ent down to make an estimate before it was sold. The breach of privilege ques tion noticed yesterday was at the request of the Gallant Admiral passed over. Sir R. PEEL said, in answer to Mr. DUNCOMBE, that he hoped to be able in a few days to lay on the table the Dissenters' Marriage Bill. The CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER asked the leader of the Oppo sition to state the outlirre of the measure he meant to pro pose on Monday respecting the Irish Church. Lord JOHN RUSSELL answered, that as he did not expect such a ques - - tion, he was not prepared to furnish the information sought by the Hon. Baronet. There was much laughter during this catechetical colloquy. On the question that the House do resolve itself into a Committee on the Navy Esti mates, much discussion ensued. Mr. WALLACE ani madverted on the conduct of Sir F. FREELING as connected with transactions at the Post-office. After a defence from Lord STANLEY of The late POSTMASTER GENERAL, who was anxious for an inquiry into every part of his official conduct, the House went into a Com mittee. The amount necessary to defray the half-pay of the Navy, and Naval and Civil Pensions, were severally agreed to. Mr. WARBURTON moved, as an amendment to Mr. POULTER'S Bill for the better Observance of the Sabbath, that it be read a second time that day six months. Majority for the second reading, 76. The Bill was then committed for Wednesday next. The Registration of Voters' Bill was read a second time. The Witnesses In demnity Bill passed through a Committee. Mr. PEASE obtained leave to bring in a Bill to Amend and Consoli date the Acts relative to the cruel treatment of animals. Mr. HUME obtained leave to bring in a Bill to consolidate and amend the Acts relative to Light-houses. The Ho nourable Member's Speech furnishes a complete view of the subject. , CONCERT OF ANCIENT MUSIC. SECOND CONCERT. The force of public opinion, derived from increased knowledge, has, we venture to hope, penetrated the secret recesses of the council chamber, in which the noble di rectors of this Institution arrange the order and materials of the entertainments provided for the amusement or in struction of its subscribers. The second meeting of this Society, for the present season, was held at the King's Concert Rooms, Hanover-square, under the superintend ence of his Grace the Archbishop of York, who 'undertook the direction in the absence of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and to whom the audience was in debted for a very judicious selection from the works of Handel, Hadyn,,Mozart, and other eminent writers. Of the first-mentioned composer were introduced the well known son ; from Athalia, " Gentle Airs," the concluding scene and chorus from " Israel in Egypt ;" the song in " Theodora," " Angels ever bright and fair," from " De borah ;" the affecting air, " Tears such as tender fathers shed ;" the Hallelujah chorus from " Il Trionfo del Tem po," and the air, with variations, usually ,designated by the soubriquet of " The Harmonious Blacksmith." The portion of the scheme to which Haydn contributed was taken from " The Creation," an elegant trio and chorus from " The Sea sons," and the introductory chorus of his celebrated Mass in B flat. Mozart's symphony in E flat, ( No. 3, the same which was performed at the Philharmonic 'Concert on Monday last,) opened the Second Act. - Two songS by Cimarosa, a Gloria by Pergolesi, a madrigal of Luca Marenzio, and a song by J. C. Bach, completed the programme. The prin cipal vocal performers were Mesdames Caradori, W. Kny vett, Bishop, and Postans ; Messrs. Braham, Phillips, Terrail, Horncastle, and Greatorex. Madame Caradori sang the rather hacknied, but musician-like scene from "II Sacrificio d'Abramo," and a composition of J. C. Bach, which certainly did not deserve the distinction, and afforded a striking proof that genius is not always (if often) here ditary. Mrs. Knyvett personated Miriam in the scena from the " Israel in Egypt," and fully sustained, through out the evening, her high reputation for the performance of sacred song. The elegant song, " With verdure clad," was assigned to Mrs. H. R. Bishop, wlko made a very favourable impression by the chaste and correct style in which it was given by her. In the oratorio it belongs to the part of Gabriel, and . is distinguished by a continued stream of exquisite melody, sustained by an elaborate or chestral accompaniment. Miss Postans possesses a splen did voice, and has acquired a perfect knowledge of Cima rosa's "Se pieta nel cor serbate." Her musical tutor may with safety, and less ambiguous judgment, direct his pupil's attention to an aria of Mozart, Beethoven, Cherubini, or Spohr, which would better repay the care and trouble of its cultivation, and would create a still more favourable opinion of the young lady's talents and acquirements. The symphony for the oboe and corni, in this questionable scena, seemed to afford considerable amusement to the members of the orchestra, who were engaged in developing its varied beauties, and very little satisfaction of a higher character to any one. The music from " The Creation" is too well known to require comment. The trio and chorus from " The Four Seasons" is a masterly and highly descrip tive composition, and requires only to be heard to be appre eiated. Mr. H. Phillip's is a most accomplished musician, and displayed the utmost taste and feeling in his per formance of " Tears such as tender fathers shed." It was a triumphant instance of the power of the human voice over the sympathies of an audience. Mr. H. Grea torex made his first appearance in public, and executed creditably his part in Horsley's excellent glee, " Cold is Cadwallo's tongue." The aria from Handers lesson has been well instrumented by the late Mr. Eby, to whom, we suspect, the merit of the score used on this occasion ought to belong, although several blemishes might be pointed out. The chorus from " II Triode del Tempo," was performed with the additional accompaniments of Mr. W. H. Kearns, the gentleman who rendered a similar service to the music done at the late festivals at Westminster Abbey and Birmingham. The chorusses were generally well exe cuted; and the concert went off with great eclat. We trust we may hail this concert as an omen of better days ; and that the operatic and sacred compositions of Mozart, the oratorios of Haydn, the masses, &c., of John Sebastian Bach, and Beethoven, will successively receive their just share of public attention, and unqualified approval will not fail to be the result. The concert was extremely well attended, and elicited more than usual applause. The Turkish Ambassador, Nouris Effendi, went in grand state to the Levee at St. James's. CITY CONSERVATIVE CLUB.—Oti Tuesday, a numerous meeting of the Members of the above Club took place at the City of London Tavern. Mr. Alderman Lucas was called to the Chair, and various resolutions passed to give effect to the principles of the above Association, by forming Committees. and Sub-Committees in various part ofthe City. Resolutions were passed, naming the sums of ss. to I/. Is. for the amount of subscription, for the admission of Members ; the smaller sum is intended to embrace that portion of the consti tuency which cannot afford to pay the larger sum, but persons subscribing the larger amount are not precluded from giving any sum they please as a donation. The annual subscription • is to be paid on or before March in each year. Messrs. Barings, Masterman, tremble, Lyon, Shears, Pocklington, &c., were named upon the Committee, and Mr. John Master man appointed Treasurer. THE EXTENSIVE FORGERY AND DEFALCA TION IN TIIR CITY..--( Further Particulars. )—The name of the principal engaged in the late extensive forgery in the City, is Christopher Charles lorstar, and the extent to which he has succeeded in defrauding his friends, and those who had reposed a confidence in his integrity, is, it is said, far beyond that at which it had been stated—namely 20,000/. His uncle, whose business, as well as the greater portion of his property, he would in all human probability, in a few years have succeeded to, and a distinguished capitalist in the City, will be the principal suf ferers ; but there are many others to whom he (Forster) was personally known, from whom he had borrowed various sums of money, and who will in the event of his not being taken into custody, be the losers. Lea, the officer employed by the sufferers, has been most indefatigable in his exertions to trace ou tsome clue to the retreat of the delinquent, . his brother, and a third person (a lawyer's clerk) who went with him, but as yet he has not been able to ascertain much, be yond his leaving his residence at Woodford-bridge in Es sex, on the morning of Sunday week, taking with him a quantity of luggage ; since whi c h ti me h e has not been seen there, or at any of his usual haunts in town. A few clays afterwards, a young female, whom he had seduced, and with whom he lived for upwards of two years past, though he had a wife and four children, moved away the furniture, &c., to a house in Islington, and claims it, as well as a quantity of plate, &c., as her own. This property, it is said, as well as a large sum of money, he settled on her and her ehild, though he has left his wife and children destitute. A report was cur rent yesterday that be had been apprehended in Ireland ; but this appears extremely doubtful, .as it is generally believed that his object was to get to America, and that he had sailed by the Ontario packet, which left the London Dock on Sa turday week, and sailed from Portsmouth about the middle of last week. On the night of Saturday week he placed 13,000/. in cash and bank notes in the hands of a respectable publican in the City, to keep for him until the following morning, when he called for it and took the whole away. In the printed handbills which are circulated, and in which a reward of 2501. is offered for the apprehension of the parties, it is stated that a man named Hudson, who was groom to Forster, had abscond ed with his master. This, however, is not the case, nor does he appear to have had the slightest participation in the guilt of his employer.—.llforninglierald. sion." - A LITERATURE. PIERCE FALCON, 3 Voz4, Bentley, London, 1835. - Miss Emma Whitehead—to whom we are indebted for this tale—is a young lady of very considerable ta lent. Not only does she possess much of that subtle discrimination of character which arrests attention so forcibly in the, female portraits of Miss Austen, but she possesses also—what the authoress of " Pride and Prejudice" was sadly deficient in—a vigour of mind which enables her to work out, and give effect to such stern, masculine sketches as that of " Pierce Falcon," who is pourtrayed in the boldest colours, and with an energy truly masculine. We have read this stirring talc with considerably interest. The incidents seldom or never flag, and the style is uniformly well sustained, colloquial, yet free from anything like vulgarity. In deed, in some scenes it rises into an impassioned do (pence . worthy of Mr. Bulwei's " Disowned." Of such a character is the last interview between Pierce Falcon, the broken-clown gamester, and the Gipsey, where the former, confessing to the seduction of the latter's sister, is shot for his excessive candour. The ablest drawn characters in the tale, are, as was to be expected, the female ones, especially that of Jesse, the half flirt, half sentimentalist, whom, none but a female pencil could have pourtrayed. Con stance,' her sister, is a more elaborate attempt at character, but scarcely so successful. In closing this hasty notice, we must not omit to mention the exceeding freshness and beauty of many of the 'sylvan descriptions.

We are glad to see another Foreign Quarterly Re view in the field, not because we are at all dissatisfied with the one that has been for many years before the - - public, but because continental literature presents an exhaustless theme for speculation, and might afford abundant materials for even a dozen periodicals. Be sides, however it may be with the parties interested, the public is always sure to be the gainer by competi tion. For these reasons, we are inclined to look favourably on the young stranger before us. The articles are eleven in number ; some of them remarkably well-timed ; and others, such as that on Chateaubriand's Memoirs, and Wolff the Ger man philologist, full of agreeable matters of intel ligence. The first article is devoted to a notice of " Passavant's Artistical Tour in England," in which speaking cursorily of Hogarth, the Reviewer aptly says, "-his union of power and coarseness, his constant recurrence to the lowest scenes, and the vigor with which he treated them, assign to him in painting a position analagous to that of Swift in literature." The pro priety of this parallel will at once strike those who are familiar with the " Gin Lane " and " Rake's Pro gress" of this incomparable artist. The little satirical, incident of the cob-web over the poor-box, in one of the plates in the " Rake's Progress," is just such as Swift would have adopted, had he taken to the pallet, instead of to the pen. Sly, quiet, piquant touches of this sort, which escape the reader on a first hasty pe rusal, abound in every page of Gulliver, and con stitute the main charm of the delightful letters to Stella. Had Swift been living in the days of Hogarth's glory—he died, we believe, before the artist had attained ,his meridian—he would have re lished his productions with even more of gusto than his best critic, Charles Lamb. " Life of Wolff, the German Philologist," is an interesting notice of one of those cormorants of classical learning of which Ger many was so prolific during the major part of the two last centuries. The breed, we believe, is now pretty nearly extinct, on the Continent, as in England. But Wolff was something better than the common run of these scholars. Though he " had lots of learned lumber in his head," he could find room for far higher literary qualifications. He was a man of wit and wisdom, in the most comprehensive meaning of the term. The Work by which he is best known is the " Prolego mena in Homerum," which abounds in startling theo ries, maintained with singular acuteness, audacity, and prodigious stores of learning. The late Payne Knight attempted something of the same sort in the pages of Valpy's Classical Journal, but the only recollection we retain of it, is the elegance and idiomatic freedom of its Latinity. Wolff died in 1821 at Marseilles, and gave the following instructions for his funeral :—" At" half an hour after clay-light, I wish the funeral to proceed to the church-yard with as little attendance as possible ; there must be wind-music, and not too spar ingly supplied." When we first perused these direc tions, we were much struck with their singularity, but when we learned, according to the Reviewer, that " mind was remarkably open to the influence of the pathetic," we were no longer at a loss to account for his fancy for " wind-music," which is of all melody the most plaintive. The account of Wolff's domestic economy is amusing : " His household arrangements, with a great pretension to order, seem to have been confusion worse confounded. Know ing the peculiarity of his own habits and dispositions, he en tamed a great dislike , to " clever servants ;" his o bj ec t a l ways was to secure some quiet, good-natured creature, who would be as much as possible an automaton in his hands, and live, move, and have his being exactly as the professor chose to direct. Wolff had the greatest aversion to being kept waiting, and had never, probably, kept a coachman waiting five minutes in his life. He exacted the same punctuality from his unfor tunate servant; in the morning he- would give him a list of twenty messages to be performed, for each of which a quarter of an hour or half an hour was allowed, as the case might he; and if, as was occasionally unavoidable, his servant exceeded the time allowed, the professor would pour such a storm about his ears, that with all his liberality be had enough to do to retain a servant in his house. " Of taste, either in matters of dress er ornament, he had not a vestige. He was fond of fine clothes, but never could contrive to dress decently; the furniture of his house was gaudy, but selected without the least regard to propriety, and huddled ogether as in an upholsterer's wareroom. Like many other literary men, he was a most irregular correspondent ; letters from his correspondents would be occasionally left un answered for years; his own, when be did write any, are ge nerally distinguished by wit and a .carelss felicity of expres- " Persian, Poetry," is a curions,land elabOrate criti cism on the Works of Ferdousi, especially his great poem entitled. the " Shah Namelir of which some specimens are given from the translation by Mr. At kinson. This article, which contains as much matter as would fill an ordinary sized voluThe, must have cost a world of painful research. Ferdtusi died at the ad vanced age of ninety, in the vear i l.o2o, and is still talked of in the East as the first l of Oriental poets. " Chateaubriand's Memoirs" will amply repay pe rusal, but the subject haS been inj sonic degree fore stalled, by the interesting series of articles that have already appeared in Blackwood. o. n ancient, and, in these peaceful times, a very singular custom still prevails at Newcstle-on-Tyne, in con nection with the Assizes for the Northern Circuit.

LAMENTABLE OCCURRENCt- AT RUISLIP, NEAR RICKMANSWORTII.—On Friday last a very shocking ca tastrophe happened at Ruislip, near Ridkmansworth, in Hert fordshire, by the falling in of a sand-piii of immense depth, by which the lives of two fine young men sere sacrificed ; several others, who were also at work at the time in !the same pit, escaping in the most miraculous manner. The unfortunate circumstance has created a most painful excitement on the spot and in the surrounding villages—eight lives having been lost in the same appalling manner within the last fow months in the various sand-pits in this part of the country. In the present instance, the accident took place on the estate of Archibald Frederick Soames, Esq., an extensive farmer and land-holder. The names of the ill-fated men who perished are John Birch and William Woodward, both under 21 years of age. PLYMOUTH. (From the Deronport Independent.) We admired the spirited, manly, and well-written decla ration which has been .put forth by the constituents of Messrs. Bewes and Collier. It must effectually silence the vain and oft-repeated boast that all, or nearly all the wealth, intelligence, and respectability of Plymouth voted for the rejected candidate. The appeal is now made, not to vague generalities or gross numbers, but to individual names, ac companied with the specific mention of professions - and trades. When Conservatives talk of wealth and respecta bility, they evidently forget that in their palmy days, they employed what they call the inferior grades of society in upholding their system of corruption and making slaves of freemen; and that even now theirsupporters are often corns posed of the head and the tail of the constituencies of the empire. They can flatter the poor, when they desire to make them. subservient to their own selfish ends ; , and in the true spirit of their system, they can hold them up to contempt, when those ends fail of accomplishment and success. Suppose that not a single Knight, or gentleman, in the strict acceptation of the term, had been found among the constituents of Messrs. Bewes and Collier, could it therefore have been said with justice! that they were not respectable men ? We have no wish to abolish the distinctions of rank and sta tion ; we can admire even the Corinthian order of the State, when it occupies its proper place ; but we have yet to learn that tradesmen and shopkeepers do not constitute a respectable portion of society We suspect that, both in wealth and wisdom, many of these our fAlow-citizens could vie with parties that may be tempted to treat them with indifference, if not scorn. The fact is, that the rapid in crease of our manufactures and commerce has called into existence among us a large - middling class who, until the passing of the Reform Bill, were most unjustly deprived of their political rights. These e it cannot, with any fairness, be denied, occupy a most important place in the State. On the one hand, they feel a deep interest in the exten sion of rational liberty ; and, on the other, they have nothing to gain by becoming the advocates of revo lutionary anarchy and strife. They are the connecting link between the higher and lower orders, and cannot to exert a most important influence over the political changes and improvements that await -the British empire. But while Messrs. Bewes and Collier were very liberally and honourably supported by the respectable class of voters referred to, it will be perceived that even so far as respects the professions (with the exception of the clerical profes sion) a majority of their ' members gave their suffrages on the liberal side. The plain fact is, that the numbers that voted for Sir George Cockburn were swollen principally by gentlemen in the pay of government, by the old free men, and by the innkeepers and licensed victuallers, as may be seen by any one who will consult the statement made by Mr. Coryndon, jun. in connection with the decla ration to which we are now referring. With regard to intimidation, &c., we certainly marvel that the Tories should be the first to cry out against the use of election arts, when their skill in them has been so long undisputed, and so frequently proved. It may he supposed that the "days departed never to return" of rot ten boroughs would he so fresh in their recollection, as to keep them silent for at bast half a century to come. To ryism and purity of election ! What a novel union ! What a delightful comment upon the beneficial effects of the Reform Bill, even as operating upon its avowed and determined opponents ? The document which we have so highly commended, has created great soreness in a certain quarter, and called forth remarks to which we think it right to reply. It is not denied that several of the signatures are those of persons who have not been entered on the list of voters, they hav ing omitted to register at the proper time ; but they wished their names to be inserted, in order to express their,attach ment to the cause of reform, while in order to prevent mis takes; the declaration was said to be issued by certain inhabitants (meaning non-electors) as well as electors of Plymouth. In procuring signatures, no undue influence was used—the employment of " the common runner of an agent's office" proves that such influence was alike unnecessary and undesigned. With reference to the time employed in procuring signatures, it will he remem bered that a certain loyal, alias, Tory address, was suffered to lie at the Guildhall for several days, without obtaining - ten names—the work of signing public documents com monly proceeds with a tardy pace. To prevent all entrap ping of persons into a hasty and incautious procedure, in giving their signatures to the declaration, a printed copy was handed to each individual, that he might have an op portunity of reading and digesting its contents. There can be no objection that the constituents, who have furnished their names, should view themselves honourably pledged to vote at another election for Messrs. Bewes and Collier ; but the specific design of their being called upon was, to procure their assistance in refuting certain false charges that had been brought against the active friends of the suc cessful candidates. The boast of Tory success, in case of another contest, is worthy of the source from which it emanates, and will, we - doubt not, prove as empty as did a similar one on a recent occasion. A DEC:LAI:AVON, IN REPLY TO SIN JAMES COeKBURN',,z ADD:a:St TO THE ELECTOI-S OF-PIAMOUTTI. . . _ We, the undersigned Electors and Inhabitants of the Bo rough of Plymouth. who lately assisted in the re-election of Joey COLLIER and TuoszAs riEwEs, Esquires, as our Repre sentatives in Pat-Eamon% are compelled to deny certain State ments in a (land-bill, dated Bth Jan. 1835, and signed " JAmrs CoeKnrltN." We have abiAained from performing this dut y to curselves and othe rs , unt il t h e exc i tement of the election, and the angry feelings occasioned by the hand-bill in question had, in some degree, subsdod. Now we deny, in terms the most unytalitied, that we either individually, oe as Members of a CoLurn m it ,e te ( e le nhyatvbeat usedw eliany a7e " UNDUE OR UNPRECEDENTED MEANS. been guilty of " lIISREPRESENTATIoN OR MENACES."—W C deny. that we have written or caused,to be written, any " ANONY MOUS LETTERS," or that we are more capable of anything " BASE AND INEA'MoUS," than Sir JAMES COCKBUZ:N himself, who thus stigmatizes our conduct. Moreover, we declare it to be our settled opinion that, so far from our success being attributable to such means, our majority would have been larger, but for the direct and indi. rect influence of the Go.rernment party, acting on the hope 3 and fears of many , electors, _ We repel with' indignation, the false and calumnious impu tation, that we are enemies of " our King and Constitution-- of our liberties and religion," or that we have ever used any " insidious effort or machination" against either. We are, en the contrary, sincere and zealous friends of the Monarchy the advocates of every just right and privilege by whomsoever enjoyed. Undoubtedly there are certain improvements, both in Church and State, which we hope to see constitutionally made; but we solemnly declare, that we deem a pure and un defiled religion to be the key-stone of society, and that, with out it, we need not, as a nation, hope to obtain an enduring prosperity. On the subject of CoAuTioN, we make only one re:nark. Agreeing, equally, with Mr. COLLIER and . Mr. BEwEs in po litical principles, we admit (and ind e ed we never denied) that WC used a combined effort to secure their Re-election ; and whether this act be deemed a COALITION or not, so long as we enjoy the Right of Voting for Two Members of Parliament, we shall use our utmost exertion to return two Gentlemen in whose principles and consistency we confide, in opposition to a third of adverse political sentiments, because we thus hope sue eeffsfully to resist the Party which, for a long period; have mis ruled this Nation—withheld our Franchises—arid arrogated to themselves the almost exclusive possession of Knowledge, In tegrity, Loyalty, and Wealth. .. 1 Signeil by upward•; of tioo. ) Plymouth, February 26, 1835.

MINE HOST, OR INNKEEPER'S WAYS.-----1 will conclude with a story told me the other day by a Kentish gen tleman of an innkeeper's " ways "on the Dover road. TWO gentlemen having dined and staid all night, called for the bill in the morning, and one of them happened to be within ear shot when the waiter went to the landlord to have it made out, and overheard the following colloquy :—Waiter : Please, Sir, the genii - nen in No. 5 wants their bill.—Landlord : Very well (taking down a printed form.) Let me hear what they had? Waiter—Soup, Sir. Landlord—Soup ; very well. What sort was it? Waiter—Mock turtle. Landlord—Mock turtle—three shillings. Did they make any remark about it ? Waiter—No, Sir • only one of them said it was werry goo d. Landlord—Did ;hey eat of it twice? Waiter—Yes, Sir. Landlord—Oh ! then—mock turtle five shillings ; now go on. Waiter—Fried sole and shrimp sauce. Landlord—Fried sole, two shillings; shrimp sauce, one—three shillings. Did they make any remark about that? Waiter—One o' them said that the fish was werry fresh. Landlord—lndeed I then fried sole, three shillings; shrimp sauce, one and six—four and si:.:. Now go on. Waiter—Small leg Welsh mutton, potatoes, and French beans. Landlord—Mutton, five shillings; potatoes, one; French beans, five ; rather early for French beans, isn't it ? Waiter—Yes, Sir ; both the gemmans remarked that it was werry early. Landlord-..0h, then, French beans tett shillings.—New Sporting Magazine. WATERTON V. CROFT. The Lono CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this case, which was an appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor. The question in the cause merely related to a point of practice of no public importance. His Lordship confirmed the opinion of his Honour the Vice-Chancellor. COCKBURN V. RAPHAEL. This was the petition of a gentleman named Raphael, pray ing that it might b e d ec l are d b y t h e C our t th a t t h e charitable legacies mentioned in the petition were not liable to legacy duty, and that if the Court should be of opinion they were, then that the Court would give directions for the payment of the d u ty ou t o f t h e f un d in Court. The facts of the case were shortly these gentleman of the name of Edward Raphael, who was a wealthy Armenian merchant, residing at Madras, made his will in the year 1791, by which he declared that all his effects were to be subject to the usage and laws of Great Britain, in the same manner . as if he was a natural born subject of the country. He disavowed all right of interference of any Armenian Patriarch, stating that as he bad acquired his estates under the British dominion, whose laws he revered,he wished them to go according to its laws. The testator, after disposing of Several legacies to his friends and children, directed his executors to lay out certain funds in charitable uses, which they should find mentioned in a book under the head of Charities. That sum, which now amounted to 47,0001., he directed to .be lodged i n th e E ast I n di a Company's Treasury id India, in the first place to be appro priated to the printing, in the Armenian language, tho Ro man and Turkish History ; and, secondly, to the establishment of a school at Venice for poor Armenian boys. The testator's will was proved both in India and in this country, and the executor having remitted part of the property in India to this country, the question now was, whether the legacy that had been given to charitable purposes was to pay duty or not. Sir WILLIAM HORNE and Mr. ROE, who appeared for the petitioner, submitted that the l egac y, was to be considered as a trust fund , and therefore no duty was payable. The LORD CHANCELLOR, without hearing the Attorney- General or Mr. Wigram, who appeared for the Crown, stated that in his opinion the bequest was to be considered as a le gacy ; but as the parties had a right to a case to the Court of Exchequer, and as the party against whom his opinion might be would probably not be content with it, he thought that the best course would be to direct a case to that Court. HAILEYBURY COLLEGE. We perceive from a return, which has just been printed, ,that the total expenditure of Haileybury College for 1833, was 15,690/. ss. I Id.
