And Venice ; perhaps in this country we do not care very much whether it is a republic or an imperial fief ; but we should care very much if we.thought that a man could no longer swim in a gondola and " many a time and oft, on the Rialto."—(Hear, and loud cheers.) And as for the ' Danes, although we ourselves have not been always 'quite regular with that nation, yet the thought of Hamlet, the image of the " buried majesty of Denmark," ,deeperis and enlists our sympathies with that gallant people, and we should look upon it almost as a national insult if armed invaders were to bombard the palace of '_;lsinore.— (Cheers.) Am I not right, then, in saying that there is hardly a mood of the mind or play of the fancy, in circumstances of past events, which Shakspere has not anticipated and has not chronicled ?—(Cheers.) We are now living among and amidst the shock of dynasties and the crash of empires. Has not Shakspere portrayed to us signs of such great vicissitudes and decays? " Let us sit upon the ground And tell stories of the fate of - kings; How some have been deposed; some slain in war; Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed; For within the hollow crown That rounds the mortal temples of a king. Keeps death his court; and there the antic sits Scoffing his state and grinning at his pomp." whom I have n ow addressed,' and who have lis tened to me with such kind indulgence, I wish one and all " better fortunes. May you long be where bells call you to church, and may you long sit at good men's feasts."—(Cheers.) I really think that after sitting and talking of Shakspere, we can hardly Condescend to speak of other names in the fields of national literature. After the gentleman who has so eloquently submitted to your notice the poets of England—now, gentlemen, I am talking of politics again —(Laughter) --I intend to insist upon the maxim, " Justice to Ireland"—(Loud cheers)7—and with reference to the condition of that country I must state that I am by no means a _Repealer, and therefore I hope that you will consent to no separa tion between the poets of England and the poets of Ireland.—(Cheers.) Mr. Hoskins, in giving you the "Poets of England," headed them with a venerable name—a name of one upon whose brow the bay leaf is still green—but, gentlemen, let us not forget that we have still living amongst us the poet Moore, upon whose myrtle, perhaps, we do not find all the luxuriance of its youthful prime; yet we may join in the hope that it may be long gilded - with the mild and genial radiance of a protracted sunset.—(Loud cheers.) With this hope I beg to commend to your cordial acceptance the toast of " Moore, and • the Bards of Erin." (His Lordship sat down amidst reiterated cheers.) Various other toasts were then drank, and the meeting separated between eleven and twelve o'clock. 11 sub-festival took place at the Falcon Hotel, most ably presided over by Mr. Urquhart, of Birmingham. The toasts were, generally, those drank at the Hall; but it is questionable whether the intellectuality and sociality of the company were not superior. SPANISH AFFAIRS. The following diplomatic correspondence has taken Place between the Duke of Sotomayor and Mr. Bul wer, her Majesty's Ambassador at Madrid : " To TEE RIGHT HON. HENRY LYTTON BULWER. " ffirch 16, 1848. " Sizt,—l ha ve to recommend you ce, to M a a dvise the Span ish. Government to adopt a legal and constitutional system. The recent downfal of the King of the French, and of his family, and the expulsion of his Ministers, ought to indicate to the Spanish Court and Government the danger to which they expose themselves, in endea vouring to govern a Country a manner opposed to the opinions of the nation ; and the catas trophe which has just occurred in France is sufficient to show that even a numerous and well disciplined army offers only an insufficient defence to the Crown, when the system followed by the Crown is not in harmony with the general system of the country. ", The Queen of Spain would act wisely in the present critical state of affairs, if she were to strengthen her Executive Government, by widening the bases on which the administration reposes, and in calling to her councils seme of the men in whom the liberal party pliiees confidence. " I have the honour to be, &c. " PALMERSTON." " TO HIS EXCELEENCY THE MIKE DE SOTOMAYOR. "English Embassy in Spain, Madrid, April 7,1848. " Sir,—l inclose for your Excellency the copy of some remarks which Lord Palmerston has lately addressed to me; and I cannot but express to you all the desire which I feel, that the Government of her Catholic Majesty should deem it fit to return without delay to the ordi nary forms of the Government established in Spain, by convoking the Cortes, and by giving them explanations calculated to efface the impressions occasioned, both in the kingdom and abroad, by the arrest and apparent intention t banish severazens (amongst whom are to be foundome of the most distinguished members of the Cortes}, who up to the present moment have neither been tried nor accused of any offence. " Your Excellency will, I am sure, permit me to re mind you that what especially distinguished the cause of Queen Isabella from that of her royal competitor, was the promise of constitutional liberty inscribed on the banner of her Catholic Majesty. "It is certain that that circumstance powerfully con tributed to obtain the symyathy and support of Great Britain in favour of her Majesty, and consequently your Excellency cannot be surprised at the sentiments which I express; here, supposing even t h at the general situation of Europe, and the universal tendency of public opinion did not prove most clearly, that at present the firmest guarantees of a throne are to be found in the national liberty, and in the enlightened justice which are dispensed under its authority. " I avail myself of this occasion to renew to your Excellency the assurance of my highest consideration. H• L. BULWER THL DUKE DE SOTOMAYOR " TO . )V11: BULWER ." . " Ist Bureau of the Foreign Office, April 10, 1848. " Sir,—l yesterday received, after two day's delay, a note from your Excellency, dated 7th instant, and en closing a copy of a dispatch from Lord Palmerston, dated the 16th ult., relative to the internal affairs of this coun try. That note was already known to the Government of her Majesty, because it had appeared in substance and by anticipation in an opposition journal, published at Madrid und er t h e t i tle of the Clamor Public°, which, judging from this fact, has the advantage of being made acquainted with the diplomatic dispatches which your Excellency addresses to the Spanish Government before they reach their destination. Setting aside th e u l terior commentaries and the i n d uc ti ons which such a grave and significative circumstance might present to me, I shall t 0 0 0n with telling you what my duty prescribes communications which you transmit to me. m te e nt on my th se e lf suect of the " At the date of 16th of March last, when Lord Pal merston sent you his dispatch, the Spanish Cortes wore sitting; the press was completely free, and the Govern ment of her Majesty had adopted a line of conduct full of kindness and conciliation, which its enemies and its adversaries themselves were compelle•l to admit. What motive can therefore have induced the Minister of Foreign Affairs of her Britannic Majesty to make him self the interpreter of the feelings and the opinions of this country, awl that i n an unfitting tone, when speak ing of the Government of an independent nation; to recommend to its adoption legal and constitutional measures, as if such was not the conduct followed in Spain; to allow himself to advise it to modify the bases of the administration, and to admit into the councils of the Crown men belonging to such or such a political opinion? • "Certainly the Minister of her Britannic Majesty is not, in such a work, the best possible judge of the cha racter and habits of Spain, whence order and institutions arise, since foreigners take no active part in the manage ment of public affairs, and have to support no particular party. "The present Cabinet, which has merited, and which still merits the entire confidence of the Queen and the Cortes, and which since its accession to power has governed conformably to the constitution and to the laws; this Cabinet ; I say, cannot see without the most extreme surprise the extraordinary pretensions of Lord Pal merston, which leads him to interfere in this manner with the internal affairs of Spain, and to support him self on inexact and equivocal data, the qualification and appreciation of which cannot in any case come within his province. " The Government would have much to say to com pletely justify it s p ast an d present con d uc t ; but it does not consider itself' called on to do so unless at the wish of its Sovereign and the Cortes, and in no way at the in stigation of a foreign influence, which by that alo ne would commit an o ff e nce ag ainst the dignity of the Go vernment and the independence of the nation. All the legal parties in Spain unanimously reject such a humi liating pretension ; and the Spanish Government, in now doing it, is undoubtedly the l eg i t i mate representa tive of the general opinion of the country. What would Lord Palmerston —would your Excellency yourself say— if t h e Spanish Government were to interfere and pass an opinion on the administrative acts of the British Cabinet, aad recommend a modification in the regime of the state ; or if it. were to advise it to adopt more effi cacious or more liberal measures to alleviate the fright ful condition of Ireland. " What would he say if the representative of her Ca tholic Majesty in London were to qualify, so harshly as your Excellency has done, the exceptional measures of repression which th e E nglish Government prepares of against the aggression whi c h th rea t ens i t i n the midst its own states? What would he say if the Spanish Government were to demand, in the name of humanity, more consideration and more justice on behalf of the un fortunate people of Asia? What, in fine, would he say if we were to remind him that the late events on the conti nent give a salutary lesson to all Governments, without excepting Great Britain, and that consequently the ad ministration of tho State shonitl.begivetenp-tittAiillue trious Peel—to the skilful naltn, Who, after having 'con ciliated the general opinion of his country, has blown how to -merit the) sympathies and the esteem of If the Governmeat,s,of, Europe? He would say—what the Spanish Governme n t has a right now to say—that he does not s fecognise the right of any power to offer obser vations, which rejects as offensive to the 'dignity of 'a free and independent nation. Animated by sentiments suitable to Spanish dignity, and to every Government which respects itself, the Cabinet of her Catholic Majesty cannot avoid protesting in the most energetic manner against the contents of the dispatches of Lord Palmerston and of your Excellency; and considering that it cannot retain them without being wanting in dignity, it returns them inclosed, and at the .. . .

The rector (the Rev. C. B. Dalton, A.M.) pre sided. In former years all the parochial appointments here were fiercely contested by two antagonistic parties. In this instance there was not a show of opposition. The only matter which produced anything like discus sion was an agreement entered into with the London and South Western Railway Company, which the ma jority of the vestry regarded as highly beneficial to the p ar i s h . According to a statement submitted by Mr. Robert Drllo3l/1011d, one of the surveyors of the highways, the directors of the South-Western Railway Company, though empowered by their Act of Parliam ent to carry out their extension line from Nine Elms without consulting the feeling of the parish ioners, had in every instance manifested a desire to adopt any suggestion which might benefit the public. If old roads had been stopped up, new and better roads had been opened, indeed every concession had been followed by corresponding advantages to the parish. The High ways Board having represented to the company that the roads in the vicinity of the extension line had been in jured by the increased traffic, the directors agreed to a sum of 1,000/. towards their reparation; another sum of 5004 was allowed for putting down phvements In newly formed streets, and the company had further Agreed to pay 2501. a year in aid of the rates. This announcement was received with much satisfaction, and it was admitted that the railw a y company h ad acted very liberally to wards the parish. The rest of the proceedings were des titute of general interest. In consequence of the lamented decease of Laxly Mary Fitzroy, the Duke and Duchess of Richmond will not attend the ceremony of the marriage between Capt. Peel and the Hon. Miss Chichester, to-morrow.

It appeared by the report that during the last year various attempts had been made to purchase the house, generally supposed to have been the birthplace of Shakspere ; that the pur chase, upon certain guarantees, had been completed, but there was at the present moment a liability on the part of the committee, amounting to about 4001. This defi ciency it was proposed ,to meet by extraordinary means. Messrs. Charles Dickens, Foster, Douglas Jerrold, and others, proposed to perform as amateurs twice in London and once in Birmingham and Stratford ; and, in addition to this, Mdlle. Jenny Lind would, for the pur pose of promoting the objects of the Shaksperian Club, give a concert exclusively on that account. Besides this there is to be a grand ball at Willis's Rooms, and by these attractious it is thought that not only will the deficiency be made up, but that there will be a surplus revenue for other purposes. Nor is this all. A corre spondence read from Mr. Simpson, of Bramby, near Guildford, addressed to Dr. Thomson, the Chairman of the Stratford Committee, and to Lord Morpeth, in the course of which he proposed to send down to Stratford, for the purpose of exhibition, on the 24th of April, a series of oil paintings (thirty in number), by the late Mr. Singleton, illustrative of the works of Shakspere. The paintings had been bequeathed to him by the late Mr. Singleton, and by the testator valued at about 2,0001. Mr. Simpson proposed to send the oil-paintings So }:o o f anv were ehs e down to Stratford to be exhibited yesterday, and for a fortnight longer, upon the committee paying 201. for the expense of carriage. He further proposed that the paintings should be generally exhibite4,4ha proceeds to be applied to the purchase of Shaksme's house, the endowment o f a res id ent, and the balaN„e, ' 4. after such proceeds, aided by a subscription, to be paid to him for the pictures. The committee accepted the temporary loan of the paintings, but nothing further.‘ , k The Londok ConuNtee; inthe tour o? yesterday (very unfavo ura bl e weather) visited Charlcote; it was, however,lnothing more than a visit of compliment, and few persohs did themselves the honour to follow their example. The various places in which relics of the furniture of Shakspere were kept, and in some of which his family were said to have dwelt, were visited by per haps a dozen persons; but the festival generally excited the least possible interest. The chief point of attraction was the dinner at THE SHAESPERE HALL. The attendance there was of the highest respectability. Lord Brooke, M.P., occupied the chair, supported by Lord Morpeth, Sir David Dundas, Mr. Mark Philips, and other distinguished individuals. The CHAIRMAN (Lord Brooke), after the usual loyal and constitutional toasts had been proposed, and all of which were drunk with the greatest enthusiasm, called upon the.company to drink to the " Immortal memory of William Shakspere." If that poet had excelled in one point more than another, it was in express ing the beauties, excellences, and virtues of the female sex.—(Great applause.) Mr. P. COLLIER acknowledged the toast. He proposed, on the suggestion of a friend, that the toast to the drama, in consequence of its present depressed state, should be drunk in silence. Lord MORPETH then rose amidst loud cheers to pro pose " The Poets of Ireland." I find, said his Lord ship, that the duty of proposing a toast has been assigned to me. But before giving that toast perhaps I may be allowed to preface it with a very few observations respecting the special purpose which has gathered us together this night.—(Cheers.) In the first place, as the Chairman of the London Committee, you will allow me, on behalf of ray colleagues, to express the great gratification we have derived from the proceedings of the local committee of this town; and I need hardly say also, that with respect to those who are the habitual residents of this town and neighbourhood, and to which the inspirations and genius of the spot must have become familiar, that to us, who come from the dingier lati tudes, how refreshing we find it to have this opportunity of rubbing off some of the metropolitan dust, and re freshing our eyes, our ears, and our memories, among the sylvan lanes of your own lovely Warwickshire. — (Cheers.) Will you allow me to say that I have no sympathy with those who see harm in everything—in fiction, in po e t r y, an d i n p l ays .—(L ou d cheers.) At the same time we are not to forget that there is hardly anything to which there is not some risk of danger to be guarded against. Now, this risk and tendency to which occasion s lik e th e p resen t m ight be liable was that of allowing the admiration and the enthusiasm for genius to mount into idolatry—that for which genius alone and by itself ca n advance no legitimat e pre _ wasae may fervently believe as his m use Len t c h e a s t We .may Shakspere fondly h o s comely hope--we the life of was lofty. This we may hope and believe, but we know that if we could combine all that his writings contain of the beautiful and the sublime—if we could concentrate all the excellencies even of his four superlative plays— the Macbeth, the Lear, the Hamlet, and the Othello—there would stillte orie prayer of humble faith, one governing act of real self-denial, a beauty and sublimity after all worthy of our admiration. But taking such feelings as these for our safeguards, we may pass from the consi deration of Shakspere, as a man of whom we know but little, to the consideration of him as an author, and of whom in such a character we know much, and some of those present have enabled us to know more.—(Cheers.) For me to dwell upon the merits of Shakspere, would, indeed, be gilding refined gold and painting the lily.— (Cheers.) I have just alluded to my colleagties of the London Shaksperian House Committee ; let me now allude, for a moment, to my colleagues in another Com mittee, sometimes called the Cabinet. They are, as you are aware, much occupied by pressing and anxious cares, but I am glad that I have this opportunity of appearing in this our short time of holiday, as their representative, to declare 'how ready they feel to join in the mark of homage which you are assembled to pay to the foremost genius of the country. Luckily, on this occasion, we have nothing to, do with t h e i n fl uences of party politics, but there are 'scenes in which I think the Celebration of this evening need not be wholly separated from the domain of the wider and more comprehensive subject that may be classed under the head of politics; for I will put it to you—Have not the writings and the genius of Shaks pere contributed, in no inconsiderable degree, to aug ment the consideration and influence of England? — (Cheers.) I myself feel that I could bear witness to this when travelling a mongs t our Transatlantic brethren of the great American R e p u bli c; f or I f o undt that, how ever willing any one m i g ht b e t o ra ise a dispute about the Maine boundary, o r t o pi c k a quarrel about the Oregon, or to boast ho w they had licked the Britishers of New. Orleans, yet I never found a single American who was not e age r to claim brotherhood with the coup. many trymen of Shakspere.—(Cheer I Shakspere.—(Cheers.) And think of you who live in this town must be cognizant of th e American fact that the first thing that an does wh en h e lands upon our shores is not to see the splendour of t h e of • •ce s justic e or to run to examine the hall or the Legislature—not to see the palaces of m onarchy, or the temples • of religion—not to visit the m ore rne. turesque and romantic portions of our land, th e northern lakes, or the Scottish islands—but, sometimes even before he has been to bed, he rushes to Stratford, and asks to be shown the birthplace and the g r ave of Shaks pere,i or, in more metrical words than Lay own, .hies to— " The dear scene where the Avon runs ever, The birthplace, the grave, and the h ome of the bard. " (Cheers,)• But this impatience and ardour are not con fined even to those who speak the same language, and who share the same blood. Even our French brethren have by this time discarded at least those portions of the heresies of Voltaire. And 45 for our Writ= kills- INSOLVENT PETITIONERS.

BY SAMUEL LA'AIERT, 31. D., 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON. Doctor of Medicine. Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary 3lemher of the London Ilespital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic vrretckedness, be raised, and its true source in , every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the stature and conseauence of whieh this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work centains an accurate and complete account of the Anatemy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions In health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attentieit and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should vbretipassessod. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy In eamrl of excessive indulgence and vicious habits , w hether acquired f l e a „r o a r , i fr a b or e , o the a a e ci f i o , l e l m i from th y el li rea of advanced age, while suffering cee,unwisely ' enter ' entert ains a fear ofap - plying to a qualified physician for frequently, but erroneously reli ef.

The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un zomprosing hurry ; but the troth lies deeper.
