London : Cochrane and Co., 1835. The Author of these Sketches, during a visit made to the Coasts of Chile and Pcru, and subsequently to seve -41 'of the I s l an d s o f t h e S ou th an d Pacific Ocean in 181 ,4. threw together such observations as occurred to 1 141 . as novel in the history of these Islands and their 'nhabitants. The result-of his labours--if such they 143 be - ealled—are now before us, embellished with 87 eral rather pretty, and exceedingly pictureique en }kgralrings. He complains much of the licentiousness of natives, of whose obscene sports he details several I : , gusting particulars. The Volume is inscribed to 8 Grace the Duke of Somerset.

There are many sagacious hints, the result of long, P r actical experience, scattered. through this volume ; whose merits, however, as it has already reached a :colid edition, we feel it unnecessary to enlarge. t he auth or , a gen tl eman n amed Browne, has been a r avelle r f or many years t h roug h a c onsiderable portion Europe, res idi ng a t some of its principal cities for w eeks e eks together, and in the work before us details the r e &tilts of his experience. His account of the society °f the little German town of Weimar, memorable as car ing been for so long a period the residence of c ° ethe, is full of spirit and minuteness ; and he tells that he felt the natural pride of a Scotchman, in ding that Sir Walter Scott was nearly as much an ieet of admiration at Weimar, as he is in England. k _e recommend the volume as a very useful and intel ?ht one, particularly as it furnishes us with the pride ~;'d mode of living in many of the larger towns of the ‘-eutinent. PENCILLINGS BY THE WAY. Three Vols. illacrone : London. 1835. The grea t d e f ec t o f thi s wor k—though at the same time it is not that which will make it the less popular— is its personalities. Mr. Willis, the author, an Arne -an by birth, and attached to a foreign legation, 4 Nogises for some of these in his preface, on the that they were written in haste for a New York I • e "thly periodical ; and that therefore he thought it 41 Possible that they could ever be read or even heard in England. This apology is scarcely an available (41 e , for it merely amomits to this—that the author M ade his revelations respecting living people; with 1 1011 1 he chanced to come into contact in the course o f. his residence in England, not because he felt he ' •4 s justified in so doing, but because he was impressed l 'ith a notion that he could not possibly be-detected. the good taste of the thing had no Weight With him— it was the chance of exposure only that he considered. can scarcely imagine a poorer plea than this, tme more unworthy Mr.,Willis's talents and stand 1n iu soeiety He should - have remembered that im- Propriety is impropriety, whether found out or not; and at any rate have forborne hazarding an apology which °illy leaves the matter worse than .it was before. He h as made those disclosures respecting the living, which s hould have been made with considerable qualification, d they. even respected the dead. For instance, he t v. '"es us certain conversations and opinions of Piofessor lison and Thomas Moore, which any one may per e;i've on reading them, were meant to be strictly confi qeotial. Not that either of these eminent men are In ade to -say any thing in the slightest degree unworthy of them ; but their allusions having re ference to individuals whom they have met, and may me et again ; and being thrown off too with all the lharditun ed f ran k ness o f con fid en ti a l i n tercourse, it i s evi eht that they - should have been respected as such. \- l ir. Willis ought to have hail more respect for giAlself, than to enter into private society with the ; I. :he book in his hand, Ihd the ink-horn at his button hole. li e should have reserved the author for the I ) rhper season. If we except these indiscretions, there as nothing,. in " Pencillings in the Way" to which we oan raise, the slightest objection. They are sketchy a nd amusing ; occasionally eloquent and graphic in th eir descriptions, and shrewd in their observations ; Pe 4 feetly unambitious throughout, and bearing in ev ery page evidence of having been written currente "dam n . The author's genius is of a very restless, ithpatient character ; he rarely halts to reflect or work 11 1 3 a description ; but flits airily -from subject to sub ject, with a ll th e s p ee d an d b uo yancy of a swallow. i One page we find him in Florence ; the next, he 4 4 - Off to Naples : s c arce ly h as h e had time to look a b o ut 4l ith in Paris, when lo r l he is half-way to London, astonished at the gentility of a Dover coachman, and Puzzl e d to know what has become of all the English 1)11140 r, of whose wants he has heard and read so much I T his slight, deSultory mode of treating his subject, N : 1 11 render his volumes attractive to all lovers of super ?teial• reading, especially as they have not• the slightest t aint of spleen about them, but arc penned in a spirit th e most uniform good humour. --Mr. Willis thinks London the most magnificent metropolis, 41i d Regent-street the finest street, in the world. The sit e of Edinburgh equally astonishes him, and I t is not without some 'hesitation that he accords the Preference to Naples and Constantinople. Of his wit to Gordon Castle, he furnishes us with some 'very inte res ti ng an d i m p ress i ve p ar ti cu l ars ; s p ea k s o f the highland chiefs and the Highland metropolis, In ,eroess, with enthusiasm ; and thinks, as he should () of Rob Roy and Baillie Jamie, as he passes ir °ugh the Alpine country of the " Gregarach." Of t ourse, while at Naples, the author made a point of c' o lding Vesuvius ; his description of which is musing, though not remarkable for novelty. We r iv e a portion of his details of the ascent " A strong lad could barely throw a stone from one side dethe other of the new crater. It was about forty feet 14 e0), perhaps more, and one crust of sulphur lined the '‘ ) le. It was half the time obscured in smoke, which l i i° ll red in volumes from the broad cracks with which it was ide(' in every direction ; and occasionally an eddy of 'wind - . . . was caught in the vast holy], and for a minute its be en yellow surface was perfectly clear. There had not which an eruption for four or five months, and the abyss c l ,,ich is for years together a pit of fire and boiling lava has seams, t ime to harden over ; and were it not for the smoking : a rils, one would scarce suspect the existence of the tre mendous volcano slumbering beneath. " After we had been on the summit a few minutes, an -"grish clergyman of my acquaintance, to our surprise, m erged from the. smoke.

DEATH OF THE DUKE OF BEAUFORT. His Grace the Duke of Beaufort departed this life en Monday evening last at Badminton House, Gloucestershire, after . a painful illness. His Grace was Marquis of Worcester, and Baron de Bottelort. The Barony was granted by Geo. 111. The late - Duke was a Knight of the Garter, Lord Lieutenant of Gloucestershire, Brecon, and Monmouthshire ; Constable of the Castle of St. Breaval, and Warder of the Forest of Dean, &c. Born Dec. 22, 1766 ; succeeded his father, Henry, Oct. 11, 1803 ; married, May 16, 1791, Charlotte Leveson, daughter of Granville, Marquis of Staf ford, by Susan, daughter of Alexander Earl of Galloway ; and has issue, Henry Marquis of Worcester ; born Feb. 5, 1793, in the army; married July 1, 1814, Georgiana Fre derica, second daughter of Henry Fitzroy, fourth son of the first Lord Southampton, who died May 11, 1821, leaving issue three children. The Marquis married secondly in 1823, a daughter of Lady Anne Culling Smith, and has issue a son, Lord Glamorgan,. born February, 1824. The elevation of the .Marquis of Worcester to the Dukedom. will, of course, create a vacancy in the representation of West Gloucester. It is said that Lord Ducie Will succeed the late Duke of Beaufort as Lord Lieutenant of Gloucestershire. Lord ..Seagrave has been mentioned, but Lord Ducie, it is said, - who has been an unflinching Whig, has prior e aims. The Duke of Buckingham has been suffering . from ' a somewhat severe attack of the gout, accompanied by a violent cold, but his Grace is now, we are happy .to say, nearly convalescent, and able to take his daily drive at Stowe. We are happy to state that 'Air. Baron Vaughan is reported to be better, though there is .no expectation of the Learned Judge being sufficiently well to attend to any • business before the next term. Lady Theodosia and the Misses Rice have joinet the Chancellor of the Exchequer at hie- new -villa at Dul.• wich, having beeo on a visit to Mr. and - Lady 'Cecil De 'afield, at LittleAmpton, during the absence of ,the Right Hon. Gentleman in Ireland. The Duke of Hamilton, Proprietor of the Isle of Arran, has, during the last twenty years, been effecting such alterations in his farming policy in that island, by the breaking up of the clachan system, and establishing large farms in its stead, that many hundreds of the poor peasantry have, from time to time, been forced to leave their hoines with their families, and 'embark for America. Several hun dreds of them have also settled in the different towns on the opposite coast' of Ayrshire, particularly in the town of Salt coats. The number there at present amounts to 700, many of whom can scarcely speak any English. Great exertions are making by theinselves at present to build a Gaelic chapel there.—Greenock Advertiser. The King of Greece is said to have conferred the order of " The Saviour" on the Earl of Durham. Mr. Nathaniel Goldsmid, in a letter to a morning paper, denies the statement that .he has ever borne any other surname than that of Goldsmid. THE EXILED BOURBONS.—VIENNA, Nov. 12. —We learn from Prague that Charles X. and his Court had left Buschtierad, and are now inhabiting for a second time the Kradschid, at Prague. The two Dukes of Blacas, father and son, and Marshal Bourmont, with two of his sons, have arrived here from Prague this week. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—The receipts exceeded the expense last week by upwards of one thousand pounds; and The Siege of Roclielle and The Jewess continue to draw full houses. The space destined for the new Oxford and Cam bridge Club-House, in Pall-audl, is now entirely cleared, and the excavations for the cellars and other under-ground offices are in rapid progress. The Rev. Thomas Enright thankfully acknowledges the receipt of Si. for Lord Limerick's tenantry, from Pierce Shannon, Esq., for the poor of St. Mary's parish ; J. G., 10s. ; Mr. James Lysaglit, a load of straw and a load of potatoes.—Freeman. LIE PACHA OF MANY TALES, by the Author of " Peter Simple."—How rich in, incidents are these laughter-provoking stories ; there runs through them much of Rabelais' vein of humour, purified from every alloy. The two principal characters, the Paella and his wily Mi nister, are felicitously grotesque. It will be admitted, we think, that the reading public are largely indebted to Capt. Marryat fin some of the most amusing novels of the day, when we mention that be is the author of " Peter Simple," " Jacob Faithful," and " Tiie Paella of Many Tales."

Three cheers were then given for the Mayor, and the crowd dispersed. We never recollect seeing so good humoured a mob. • MEMO., Paper. O'Driscoll, lay imuropriator, has served a multitude of notices for payment of l tithe in the pa rish of Bantry, Cork, while the clergyman of the district, Rev. Mr. Sadleir, is quiescent. Archdeacon Foster has given notice to the parishioners of Killarney, of proceeding in the Court of Exchequer' against all tithe defaulter: , , with out distinction.—Dablin Register. -- ABOLITION OF TITIIES.—FrOM all that we have hitherto seen and read of the now leaders of the agricul turists, a shallower set 'of brainless quacks never claimed for their nostrums the attention of mankind. They seem not yet to have attained a'conception of ti fact, that the price of corn produced at the least expense, when the sellers are the offerers, determines the market price of the whole ; and that it is impossible for the growers of wheat at 50s. the quarter to compete with those who grow it at 30s. At this time wheat is grown cheaper in Ire land and Scotland than in any other part of Europe ; and that cheap wheat admitted freely into our • market deter mines the price of the whole. But we cannot keep the almost untithed produce of Scotland and Ireland out of our markets ; and these is no alternative 'therefore but to let the produce of the English agriculturists come into the market tithe free. There was ati Ise when we were the advocates of a compromise with the tithe-owners, and of co mmutation ; but the free admission of untithed produce to our markets alters the whole question. As long as the people were exclusively fed on tithed wheat, the consumers, and not the land-owners and farmers, paid the tithes ; but the instant untithed wheat came freely and abundantly into the market, and the instant, in consequence of the intro duction of steam navigation, a great part of. almost un tithed Ireland and of untithed Scotland could send produce cheaper to London than the farmers of the Weald of Sussex, the whole of the tithes fell on the farmers and the land owners. But a parliamentary parson is the parson of the whole of the people ; and the whole of the people, as well as the farmers and land-owners, ought to pay for his ser vices. At present therefore a commutation of tithes, leaving the expense of the commutation to be defrayed ' out of the land, would not satisfy the justice of the case ; and we require the abolition of tithes, making the nation at large, if it choose to have a parliamentary church, pay a general tax for the service of the parliamentary parsons. Of course the life-interest of those who have a claim in tithe should be provided for, and sOme compensation should be made to those who have purchased tithes ; but neither the one nor the other has any more reason to expect a full compensation than the slave-owners could.—Brighton Guardian On Thursday se'nnight, an ox was killed in the slaughter-house of - Mr. P. Lockie, butcher, Sunderland, in which was found a case-knife about eight and a half inches long. MILITARY FLOGGING AT WooLwicil.=—Yes terday, Mr. Carttar, the Coroner for West Kent, attended, as we are informed, at the War Office, for the purpose of obtaining a copy of the minutes of the Court Martial held upon James Ramsay, the private in the Royal Marines, whOse death is alleged to have .been occasioned by the severe flogging he received for a breach of military dis cipline. As much importance is attached in cases of this kind to the question of responsibility, viz.,—whether it rests with the sentence of the CoUrt Mai tial or the Com manding" Officer who presides at the infliction - of the punishment, or the Surgeon of the regiment, whose autho rity is generally understood to be paramount on these occasions. The object'of Mr. Carttar's visit to the Horse Guards was understood to be for the purpose of thoroughly informing himself of the military customs observed in such instances. The inquest on the unfortunate man was, there fore, not held yesterday, as was expected, but will take place to-morrow evening. Yesterday forenoon an inquest was held before Mr. Stirling, C orone r, and a respectable Jury, at the sign of the London Apprentice, opposite Islewo rt h Church, to inquire concerning the death of a man unknown, whose body was found floating in the river on Monday last. - In the pockets of the clothes were found a book entitled the Perils of the Sea, a red leather memorandum-book, with a brass clasp and blank leaves, a knife, a lead-pencil, 3s. 6d. in silver, 7d. in copp er , an d a d u plicate of a watch, pawned- for 12s. on the 30th ult. at the shop of Mr. Allen, 21, Clare-street; in the name of " Samuel Parker, 161, Carey-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields." The deceased has the appearance of having been a respectable tradesman, being dressed in a blue coat, drab trowsers, white stockings, and shoes, and is supposed to be about 40 years of age. The body appeared to have been in the water about three weeks, and is supposed to be that of a man who threw himself into the river at Twicken ham on the 31st of last month. Verdict, " Found drowned." Another inquisition was taken before Mr. Payne, at the Grapes, Whitecross-street, on the body of Mr. James Stevens, butcher, of Newgate-muket, who committed suicide by cutting his throat. Verdict, " Temporary insanity." entered the crater. I broke as many bits of the bright golden crystals from the crust as my confusion and failing strength would allow, and then remounted, feeling my way up through the smoke to the summit. " I can compare standing on the top of Vesuvius and looking down upon the bay and city of Naples, to nothing but mounting a peak in the infernal regions overlooking paradise. The larger crater encircles you entirely for a mile, cutting off the view of the sides of the mountain ; and from the elevation of the new cone, you look over the rising edge of this black field of smoke and cinders, and drop the eye at once upon Naples, lying asleep in the sun, with its lazy sails upon the water, and the green hills enclosing it clad in the indescribable beauty of an Italian atmosphere. Beyond all comparison, by the testimony of every writer and traveller, the most beautiful scene in the world :—the loveliest water and the brightest land lay spread out before us. 'With the stench of hot sulphur in our nostrils, ankle deep in black ashes, and a waste of smouldering cinders in every direction around us, the enjoyment of the view cer tainly did not want for the heightening of contrast."

SIR FRANCIS BURDETT. HIS CONSTITUENTS' OPINION OF HIS LETTER TO BROOKES'S. A special meeting of the Householders' Association of St. Martin-in-the-Fields was held on Tuesday evening at the Two Angels and Crown Tavern, St. Martin's-lane. About two hundred Members were present. The Associa ',ion numbers four or five hundred electors of the city of Westminster among its members. Mr. Kendall was called to the chair. Some important parochial business having been gone through— Mr. Churchwarden SIMrsoN rose and directed the at tention of the meeting to the extraordinary letter of - Sir Francis Burdett to Brookes's Club.—(Hear.) One of the most respectable and influential supporters of Sir Francis Burdett called upon him (Mr. Simpson) on the-pre vious evening, and observed that he had supported Sir Francis Burdett, until the last Session of Parliament, but that he should certainly support him no longer.—(Cheers.) Dr. BAINBRIDGE observed that, the disgraceful and con temptible letter of Sir Francis Burdett bad been forwarded to the renegade Times to effect a particular object, and that object was no less a one than the : injury of the cause of Reform.—(Hear, hear.) It was quite uncalled for ; there was no necessity for Sir Francis to emerge from the obscu rity in which he had for several years-been buried—(Hear) —to attack Mr. O'Connell. Sir Francis Burdett denounced Mr. O'Connell as no gentleman. This seemed to be the sum total of the charge which he had made against him : that ()`Connell, forsooth, was not polite enough to associate with a polite assembly. Sir Francis stated that Mr. O'Con nell had used very imprOper and degrading language—lan guage not suited to, such polished society as that in which Sir Francis was accustomed to move. He informed the world that . O'Connell had depreciated the services of the Duke of Wellington, and that he had also applied very improper and ungentlemanly language to the Duke of Cum berland.—(Laughter.) But was this so serious—so dread fal charge against Mr. O'Connell ?—merely that he had not spoken in the most respectful terms of that illustrious individual—illustrious, as Lord Brougham said, by cour tesy—not illustrious for his talents or his patriotism, but because be was of Royal blood.—( Hear.) He was glad that the subject had been introduced by Mr. Simpson. It would afford the meeting an opportunity of expressing .their sentiments, which he doubted not would be disseminated, not only throughout the city of Westminster, but throughout the kingdom. He was truly sorry that Sir Francis had writen such a letter. It was a painful proof that he had forgotten his former opinions. If gentlemen looked back at the speeches of Sir Francis Burdett—and he (Dr. Bainbridge) had been in the habit of reading the Baronet's speeches for the last twenty years—they must regret that he had forgot ten the opinions he had so long entertained ; yet they must not forget that Sir Francis at that time did not always make use of the elegant and gentlemanly language which he now so much lauded. —(Hear, hear.) He then indulged in expressions quite as inelegant, and fully as improper in a gentleman, as any that bad been made use of by Mr. O'Connell. Dr. Bainbridge concluded by moving a Reso lution to the effect, that it. was.the opinion of the meeting that the uncalled-for and imprudent letter of Sir Francis Burdett., which has so recently appeared in the public' prints, ought to receive the unanimous and strongest con demnation of the liberal electors of the city of Westminster. Mr. Churchwarden SIMPsoN would most cordially se cond the, motion. He would willingly admit that they owed much to Sir Francis Burdett ; but he could not for bear noticing this extraordinary letter. As an aged man they must pity him ; but at the same time they should make up their minds as to the future—(Hear, bear) —and recollect that he was not a fit person to represent the city of Westminster.—(Loud cheers.) After some observations from several members, the Re solution was put and carried unanimously, amid loud cheering. We uwlerstand that Mr. 11. L. Bulwer, M.P., is to appointed Secretary of Legation at Brussels. His all pointment will occasion a vacancy in the representation of Marylebone. AGRICULTURAL MEETINGS.—It is quite impos sible for the farmers of England to go on with their present burdens and the present prices ; and we only express the g eneral opinion, when we s ay that it is more likely that prices will fall still lower than rise up to what the farmers will regard as sufficient. We are free to say, that we re joice to see the agriculturists bestirring themselves to obtain relief. We mean to aid them - to the utmost of our power ; but we will do that after our own fashion. We will not assist them in increasing the burden of the other classes the weight of a single feather. It is obvious that their best customers, the shoemakers, tailors, 'wheelwrights , &C. &c. , do not, in the most remote manner, contribute to the d's tress of the agriculturists. All measures, like Corn Laws, to limit the supply or raise the p ; rice, are measu res to rob the ma urin nufacto• arid trading, classes and as far 0 COURT CIRCULAR. Baron. de Moncorvo, the Portuguese .. .lifinister, transacted business yesterday at the Foreign-office. Viscount Howick entertained the following Ministers at dinner last evening, at his residenCe in Whitehall-place— viz., Viscount Melbourne, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord John Russell, Lord Glenelg, Mr. Spring Rice, Earl or `,Tinto, Sir John Hohhouse, and Mr. Poulett Thomsen. Sir Richard Phillips .had an interview yesterday with Viscount Melbourne, in Downing-street. The Right Hon. 11. Labouchere visited the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday, in Downing.street. BRIGHTON-WEDNESDAY. The King and the Duchess of Gloucester drove out. this morning on the Shoreham road. In the afternoon, his Ma jesty, accompanied by Madde d'Este, took a drive on the road to Rottingdean, returning to the Palace shortly before dusk. The King has been pleased to invite the Marchioness of Conyngham, Major-General Sir A. Clifton, and Mrs. Colonel Grey, to dine at the Palace this evening. Count and Countess Pozzo di Borgo called at the Palace this morning, and paid their respects to their Ma jesties. Lady Garvagh (on leaving) also called. This morning the Queen, accomp::nied by Earl Brownlow and Lady Falkland, walked from the Palace t o the Mari n e Parade, without any domestic attendant. Her Majesty was not recognised by many persons, and consequently escaped the pressure of a crowd, an annoyance to which her Majesty has been occasionally subject. This afternoon, the Queen, accompanied by Prince Ernest and Madile d'Este, drove out in an open . barouche on the Cliffs. The Royal carriage was preceded by ty,o outriders. The Queen, with her usual...kimlness, having granted tl-e use of her private band to perform at a Concert given by the distinguished violoncello player, Mr. Lucas, at Salis bury, the band left the palace this morning, but will return on Friday. This evening the band of the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards will have the honour of performing in the presence of their A i lajesties and the Royal party after dinner. The Dowager Marchioness of Cholmondelcy will arrive to-morrow in Brunswick-terrace. Viscount and Viscountess Beresford have left the York for Westdean or Chichester. This morning Colonel Sir Neil Douglas, Aide-de-Camp to the King, quitted Brighton for the Continent. Lord Augustus and Lady Loftus were added to the Royal dinner party yesterday evening.

In two of the principal scenes, he was almost great. Mrs. Wiagrove gave a powerful portraiture of Rachel, but she might have dressed the part better. E. Lees' Leopold was just what was to be expected, elegant and correct. Of the other dramatis personae, it is unnecessary to speak, further than to say, they all exerted themselves merito riously. With respect to the scenery, dresses, and deco rations, they are equal, if not superior to any thing of the sort ever seen at this or any other minor house. The processions, with the grandees and knights on horseback; dressed in real brass armour, are brilliant in the extreme. In fact the whole affair is gorgeous beyond measure. The expense of getting it up must have been enormous. Al beit, the-situation uf some of the knights was pitiable, as they seemed ready to sink beneath the ponderosity in which they were encased. This should be remedied. - - has been some years sanded up, the Light-vessel ought to le removed, and placed on the outside of the Home .1-tez.d. It is of no use whatever where it is, and as an Act of I'X. liament requires a Light there, it certainly ought to be re- , moved to a place where it will be more beneficial to the trr.de. After passing Orfordness Lights, the very worst on the coast, and altogether a dic:yrace to those connected wills them, there are no other Lights to guide the anxious mari ner the ought the very dangerous sands that encompass the narrow and intricate Channel through which he has to pass, till the Sunk Light is discovered, which is never good, and, in thick and hazy weather, seldom seen till close to it. Now, were a Light placed on the N.E. end of the Ship-wash sane:, such as that I have mentioned on the North end of Has borough Sand, all the danger and difficulty alluded to, while passing up this Channel, would be avoided, beSides giving perfect security of keeping clear of Aldhorough, Knapes,. Ridge, Beusely, &c. &c. ; and, to complete the arrangement, and render the navigation safe and practicable, another Light ought to be placed on the upper end of the Middle, and another ou the upper end of the l‘lonze sands. The recommendation of these additional Lights on the Ship-wash, Middle, and Mouze, perhaps appear to some minds- superfluous and unnecessary ; but I do declare; although I have passed up and down these channels, in command of ships, upwards of five hundred times, I never do so in night time, which, in all sorts of weather, the na ture of my business obliges me to do, without feeling an in expressible load of anxiety for the safety, and property, and lives entrusted to my care. Therefore, with all my expe rience, independently of contributing I,LOO/." , towards the maintenance of these Lights, I feel quite justlfied - in caning public attention to this subject, that the system should be made perfect ; or, at least, r:n_:cr6:l more Bare an cable than it now is.

LIGHT HOUSES. • TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin—Nothing can be more beneficial to the shipping inte rests of this country than the system by which the public Lights, on the various coasts of Great Britain, are distinguish ed ; or the unremitting attention bestowed by the different Boards under which they are managed, towards rendering. that general good for which they are designed. Confining my views at present to the cast coast of England, I may remark, that although I am perfectly satisfied with the dis tribution, design, brilliancy, and management of the Lights, yet ram far from thinking the system complete. Departing from'the Firth of Forth, the May Light, by no means good, leads you to the Fern Lights, situated on the Fern Islands, which every navig a tor must pronounce good. .Passing Tynemouth Light, also good, Hambro' Head Light is next discovered ; which from its distinguish ing powers, situation, and brilliancy, cannot be excelled. The Spurn Lights are but inditTerent, and with the excep tion of Orfordness, perhaps the worst on the coast. The Dudgeon Floating Light is excellent, well attended to, and ' is the means of saving much valuable property. Cromer Light is also brilliant and e ffective : likewise the floating Light lately placed on the north end of liasborough Sand ; much praise is due to the Corporation of Trinity House, London, for this light , as it can n ot fail to be the means of saving many shipwrecks and live of valuable seamen. Ilasborough Lights are n o t bad ; neither are the Winterton ; and the Neivarp, with her triangular Lights, is really beau tiful. All the above-mentioned Lights arc easily distin guished, arc seen after one another, and lead the mariner on his path with safety. Next come Lowestoff Lights, which may be pronounced gool. I may however.remark, that as the Stanford passage SPAIN. TO THE EDITOR' OF THE SUN. Sin,—l f it be true that Vie sight of a good man struggling through difficulties is replete with the intensest interest, it will not be denied that the spectacle of an entire nation burning to extirpate for ever from its soil the roots of op pression and fanaticism, is one calculated to fix the attention and admiration of an enlightened world. SPAIN, whose name we cannot pronounce without calling into action a thousand soul-stirring emotions ; SPAIN—" lordly Spain ! renowned, romantic land !"—presents us at the present mo ment with that spectacle, so glorious and so noble. The spirit which roused the Spaniards of old, in the middle of the sixteenth century, against the Estroeost CH AELES V., under the gallant, the unconquered PADILLA, is again awake ; the Nobles, who at that time kept aloof from the people, and blindly linked themselves with the framers of the Inqui sition, the savage executioners of their country's dearest and most devoted sons, now swell the joyous Paean of liberte, and the mighty ocean of regeneration rolls steadily on. Tyranny, thank Heaven ! " Wields not, as of old, her thirsty lance, Nor shakes her crimson plumage in the skies ;" But to the chivalrous ardour that dwells in every Spanish bosom is added an enthusiastic desire for civil and religious freedom. The sun of Liberty—" QU2E SERA TA MEN RE-. srEsen"--flings at. length his majestic rays over the beau tiful vallieS of this fair clime, and to the careless cry of " VIVA EL R EY," has succeeded the spontaneous hearty she-at of VIVA LA NACION ! What have not the lovers of slavery to fear when they see this stronghold of their ve nerated goddess so fiercely invaded—when they see the light of civilization piercing through the iron bars of thou sands of convents—when they behold swarms of friars hunted from their hives, and hear - the war-song of liberty animating every generous breast from BISCAY to GRANADA SrAIN no longer slumbers unheeded, but energetically de mands a place among the nations of Europe. Pr oud of having so quickly obeyed the call of the " three glorious days," she thunders (unwelcome visitor !) at the Cabinet of the Tuillerics, and sickens at her cold reception. Yet who have crossed the Pyrenees to pay respectful homage to Louts PHILLIPPE ? The valiant defenders of principles to whose ascendancy he himself owes his sceptre—the - daring descendants of those men who were crushed by the intrisnes of CU:DIN AL - ZIMENES, and who appease the bleeding manes of their ancestors, by allying- themselves to a cause Of which THEY will never he the base betrayers nsr the dark assassins. . To imagine that one of the most fertile countries of the glo.'c could always remain in the hands of a lazy priesthood, was a supposition too gross to be entertained by any re flecting man. But years of misrule, the terrors of the in quisition, the phantoms of superstition had frezen up the free channels of the mind, and, bowing it down to the ground, suffered it to be shackled without opposition. llenee difficulties innumerable encircled the fond idea of freedom ; the black spot of infamy corrupting whatever it touched, spread itself every where, and the soul darkened and crusted over with the base clay of Bigotry, lead well nigh lost its natural dignity. Even now, with a MENDI- Z ABAL at the helm, it were folly to think that showers of blessings fall all at once on the land. Time effected the conquest., time also must work out the emancipation of the human mind. But what we may securely congra tulate ourselves upon, is the_ certainty that nothing can effectually stop the march of freedom—no, not ell the bayonets,' barked by the gold of despots or the wit of Je suits. If the Carlists were victorious to-morrow, they could not extinguish the eternal fire burning in the sacred temple of Liberty. It is watched over by the Vestal Vir giiis, Innocence and Truth, and were it blown out by the unhallowed breath of Tyranny, it would be lighted up agein by the beams of the sun of Knowledge. SeatN, then, is safe beyond a doubt, ant', she owes a debt to her high-minded Prime Minister, that can be repaid only by a ready obedience to his wishes. Unity and decision are all she requires to ensure a speedy success. With these qualities she will triumph over her enemies, and plant upon the battlements of her proud cities the flag of free dom which shall wave " victorious to the gale," and defy all the armies that absolutism can command. Education, in the mean time, must strengthen what the sword achieves ; it must create a general metamorphosis, and, touching in dolence with its magic wand, transtOrm it to activity. The arts and sciences must be encouraged, and employment given to the poor ; bitter feelings must be erased, and minor considerations give place to the wants and wishes of the nation. But the ruling men of SPAIN understand what path they ought to pursue ; they know whence has sprung the greater portion of their country's misfortunes, and are prepared, regardless of party clamours, to adopt the reme dies which their judgment and conscience pronounce the most efficacious. MUM. TURNPIKE ROADS AND RAILWAYS• When the imperfections of any old system, and its want of adaptation to an end proposed, are, by reflection, or the progress of science, made manifest, the wonderment is, how I.uch a system could so long have been in use ? Thus is it, in the present dly, in respect to Turnpike Roads. The Liverpool and Manchester railway, in particular, has taken the film from the public eye ; and every body now wonders how the barbarous system of travelling on loose gravel could have been endured, while blocks of granite, or bars of iron, were in existence! In short, when one reflects that a turn pike road is nothing better than a mill for grinding stones to powder, it might almost be supposed that England never produced a philosopher, or a truly scientific genius, till the day when the first rail of the Liverpaol and Manc!iester railway was laid down. To dig gravel out of the earth, or blast stones out of a rock ; to break and sift them, when so procured ; to cart them to, and spread them upon, a turn pike road; there to be ground to amt ; to scrape up the dust when become mud ; and, lastly, to cart it away, thus making room for another layer of loose gravel to undergo the setae deArnetive and expensive proceis—was truly to raise the question, whether there was a man of science in the country ? Almost twenty years ago, Mr. Thomas Parkin energetically called the attention of the Govern- Ment to the subject ; but his Majesty's Tory Ministers wer3 then too much occupied about the glories to be achieved by the " Holy Alliance," to permit road-makiu to engage any part of their attention. Their solicitude was to contrive means to chain down " the disaffected spirits in Europe," and not to travel from London to Manchester in four or five hours, and at a third of the present expense. To equa lize the Value of property all through the kingdom, was less an object of their anibition than to endeavour to make all men uniform in their love of tyranny. In flict, Holy Al liance schemes and road schemes were incompatible with each other ; and so science succumbed to _politics ; but, happily, We have now the dawn of a new light ; and hi a few years this country (at least in respect to the facility of communication, the existence whereof is the strongest proof of civilization), will be placed upon the pinnacle of scientific glory.. We shall no longer have a national stone-grindira-7 machine, nor cultivate -fields for heaats of burden to eat the produce of them, and this i s " a consummation devsutly to be wished." Railways are; undoubtedly, the most ph losophical means of transport yet known, or probably, that can be devised. Their great cost, however, is a bar to their con struction, except between places where the traffic is immense. T ra m ways, l • ike that in the C om mercial-rood, of which Mr. Parkin was the projector, stand next in importance ; and may be made where the traffic will not justify the ceu struction of railways, especially as Mr. Parkin has receetlY discovered, in a vitrified stone, a substitute for gTanite, which, for tram-ways is much more suitable, w hile it is equally durable and much less expensive. Its proPeTtici haYe been fully ascertained ba a trial of more than fear months, at the entrance of Mr. West's Stone Whaif, near the bottom of Old Gravel-lane, Wapping. rato.-i"" .aaa..,afJa J.,06 ioa.a 1 - ' O O _4l7.4eNtg KV It°
