LONDON : MONDAY, MAY 17, 1841. ARRIVAL. OF THE GREAT WESTERN. By expre;s• from Bristol, we have received New York Papers of the Ist, brought by the Great Western, copious extracts from which will be found in another part of The Sun. Our Cor respondent in that city, whose letter is dated Fri day night, writes as fbllows This noble vcsst :arrived at her buoy in King's-road at ten minutes to eight o'clock. this evening. She has had a most prosperous voyae.e of 13 days 1 hour, hav ing sailed from New York on the evening- of the Ist inst. She brings 97 passengers. The Great Western arrived oat on the 23d of April, that being the anniversary of her arrival at New York on her first voyage, three years since ; and what .is more remarkable, she sailed from Bristol on /1.. e anniversary of her first voyage, the Bth of Apr ii, showing that she is still as good a boat as ever she was. The Colombia steamer arrived at in the 17th, and Ba3ton on the 19th ult. " V 4 .? are much concerne 1 to find that the Great Western brings no intelligence of the President; but Capt. HosKIN is of opinion that she has been crippled, and subsequently frozen in the ice. Capt. TiosKtx met with immense masses of ice on his outward voyage.

On such an occasion we naturally look to our repre sentatives for counsel and advice. Mr. O'CoN NMLL, however, is the only one we are ac quainted with who has shown himself sensible of the importance of the crisis, and has done his duty on the occasion. He has addressed more than one letter to his countrymen, expressing his opinion of the present state of affairs, and ad vising them how to act. Why should not the Members for England, and particularly the Members representing the great manufacturing districts, and more particularly still the Members representing very remote constituencies, now ad dress their countrymen with that weight of au thority which belongs to possessing the confi dence of such vast and intelligent bodies of men? Mr. RAISES CURRY, the Member for North ampton, is one exception. He has drawn up a paper for his constituents, the great use of . which, it is properly said is, that it itamps im portant truths with local authority. We want such conduct to be imitated wisely and judi ciously, not blindly imitated on a large scale. Messrs. M. PHILIPS, GREG, BAINES, and WARD, for example, may make very useful saeeches in Parliament, nut a letter from each to his constituents, embodying, perhaps, some of ms arguments in favour of the proposed mea sures, and suggesting what they should do to strengthen the hands of the Liberal party in Par liament, would be more efficacious than a speech. We advise them to think of this, and put their shoulders to the wheel, which wants as yet to be forced round. As for the Metropolitan Members, with the exception of Mr. HAwEs and Mr. G ROTE, who have each made a good speech, and Mr. B. Woon, who has attended a public meeting, the metropolis might as well be without them. Where are they'! Do they take no interest in measures which are the commencement of the most im portant change that ever was begun in the policy of the em,pire, o r onothef the principle wo of firstAfterhaiN‘aivnour legislated fur perhaps ages human industry and then another, ing one branch o f it is at length found out and avowed in Parliament, that the system is unjust, is wicked, is injurious to the nation and it is proposed to commence a system in which no taxes shall be laid on for the eacou ragement or protection of any one particular branch of industry, but only for the service of the State. The principle of the change is to substi tute impartial fur partial legislation, just laws for the fancied expediency of interested and seifish wen and this last change finds no other advo cates or impugners in those gentlemen who are honoured with the confidence of the electors of this mighty metropolis, the heart of the empire, than those we have mentioned. The measures proposed have a subordinate, bit a mo re attractive interest. They go to cheapen sugar and to cheapen bread, and make the trade in both steady. They go to remove restraints from the sources of supply, acid extend the markets for own productioti, creasing. our abundance, and increasing the means of obtaining it. They are of great benefit to all traders and all consumers, and the princi ple on whi c h they are founded, carried out to its proper conclusion, would be , more fraught with blessings to mankind than all the Reform Bills or Constitutions that ever were penned. Though we should recommend a large- reduc tion of the sugar and timber duties, as more be neficial to the people, and equally productive to MORNING' EDITION 13, Great Mulborough.:,treet.

Of course the public means all the indivi duals of the nation, and it will not be denied that their welfare requires that they should obtain the largest possible supplies of food. Nobody now supposes that food will be too abundant, or that there will be a universal .glut either of that or any other useful article. In fact the great difficulty, which may be called the curse of man—if rather it be not his blessing, being as much in conformity With his nature as the gathering of honey is to that of the bee—the great difficulty is to get food and the deficiency of food, or the difficulty of getting enough, ac cording to the most accredited theories, is the great cause of all the vice, crime, and misery in the world. It is plainly and palpably, therefore, the duty of every Government to facilitate as much as possible the exertions of the people in obtaining food for themselves, and it violates its duty most grossly when it impedes those exer tions. It then incurs the terrible responsibility of causing all the vice and misery and crime which result from a want of food. The excuse or the pretext for the Corn-laws— though it is a false pretext—is, that they, in the long run, ensure the people a greater supply of f)od than they would otherwise have. But sugar, like corn, is an article of food very nutritious, and it might be used as a substitute in considerable quantities . for other food. No pretext is made by those who oppose the Ministers' plan for the reduction of the duty on foreign sugar, that it would lessen at any time the quan tity of sugar or food which the people could obtain. On the contrary, they resist the alteration because the market would be over whelmed with sugar. They will not allow the law to be altered, because it will give the people too much sugar, and at too cheap a rate. The Legislature, in this case unblushingly, and for the benefit of a few members of its own body, actually stops the supply of food. The statement of ,the Tories is, if the law be altered, or if the discriminating duty be abolished, that the people will get plenty of food, and they most scandalously interfere to prevent the people from obtaining it. This is a most shameful violation of the duty of the Legislature, and instead of being the discourager of vice, and punisher of crime, it is the great cause of all the crimes and all the misery that are caused by the scarcity or the deficiency, of food. As for the nonsense it pleases some gentlemen, in the utter forgetfulness of their duties to the people of - England, to talk about the blacks_ dooming those of the West Indies to cultivate sugar, and hoping to relieve those of the Brazils and Cuba from cultivating it—we must take the liberty to tell them, that if, by their measure, they could relieve the whole black race from the slavery to which they are subject in almost every part of the world, that would not exonerate them from their duty to the people of England. They receive power to promote the welfare of our people; that welfare is pro moted by allowing them to have an ample sup ply of food; and the Legislature is the traitorous assassin of the people it is bound to protect and cherish, when it withholds from them that large supply of food which the Brazils and Cuba are ready to send them. Weep Lord SAN DON, weep Lord STANLEY, weep Air. GotimatußN, and weep Sir A. GRANT and Dr. LtieHINGTON in conjunc tion, over the sufferins of the slaves —reproach the planters with cruelty, send out ships-of-war to stop the slave trade, and when you have wept and declaimed at others, look at home; see the people confided to your care perishing of hunger —see yourselves actively at work to keep food from their mouths, and acknowledge yourselves to be more extensively criminal than the plant ers and the active agents of the diabolical slave trade ! THE SUN, LONDON,. MONDAY, MAY 17, FAL the revenue—though we demand, and e► - er shall demand, the total repeal of the Corn-laws—yet cannot shut our eyes to the immense advantages of bringing foreign sugar and foreign timber into something like competition with colonial sugar and timber, and to the immense advantages of abolishing the whole system of corn averages, and all the francs connected with them, giving some stability to the corn trade by a fixed duty ; and these measures being of such intrinsic int portance, even if they (lid not involve the fate of a Ministry, should elicit from our representa tives some tokens besides a speech in Parliament, that they take that interest in them which their importance commands. The people justly ap preciate these measures have in general pro nounced very sound opinions concerning them, and are taking a proi3er course to give effect to them. But their efforts would be encouraged, and perhaps more judiciously directed, were their representatives, who must know and see more of the political game in the House of Commons than the constituencies, to state their opinions, and co operate with the electors. These are not times fur neutrality, neither will indifference or ignorance find favour with the people ; and those whether now in Parliament or not, who wish to enjoy public confidence, must unite cordially with the people, and show that they understand and are interested in the very important subjects which the measures of Ministers have made the leading and popular topics of the day. Representatives and constituencies must now work together, and the former have no time to lose. The Paris Papers of Friday have been received by extraordinary express. They announce, on the authority of letters from Sem lin, of the 30th of April, that the insurrection was suppressed in the districts of Nlssa and Les kowacz. But the Servian frontier and Northern Albania continued in a very disturbed state. In fact, all the provinces of Turkey in Europe in habited by Christians, cherishes within them the unquenchable embers of revolution. The sceptre with which tjie Mussulman ruled the Christian is virtually broken. The exultation of the Cre scent over the Cross will soon cease to be wit nessed in Europe. The Porte has issued orders for the blockade of the whole coast of Candia, with the exception of Carrea, Juda, Katterno, and the port of Can dia. This blockade will commence on the loth inst., and will be enforced with the utmost rigor, now that the SULTAN has a fleet at his disposal. Letters from Athens of the 9,7 th ult. state, that two ships of war were cruising round Candia to prevent the landing of supplies for the insur gents. The Greek Committee had arrived in the mountains of Agororona, [where the Christian chieftains were assembled. The greatest har mony prevailed among them, coupled with a firm resolution either to shake off the Turkish yoke, or to whiten with their bones the fields of their native country. it was reported at Athens that ML'STAPHA, Pacha of Janina, was murdered. There was also a rumour that the holy cities of Mecca and Medina had revolted, and driven out the Turkish garrisons. Verily the SULTAN had need to be an good terms with the Viceroy of EGYPT. The French and Spanish funds declined on the Bourse on Thursday evening, in consequence of a report that the English Cabinet bad been defeated on the sugar question.

The Finsbury Reform Club meets to-day to effect the same object. St. Martin's-in-the-Fields meets on Tuesday. The metropolis, then, is beginning to stir. There ought to be meetings in every parish and almost every tavern. The women ought to meet and petition for cheap sugar. Now or never is the time to put down monopoly. A requisition was made last week to the Church wardens of Lambeth parish to convene a meeting to take into consideration the measur es b roug ht forward by the Government respecting the Corn-laws, and the sugar and timber duties, but they declined to call a meeting. The inhabitants, however, have resolved to meet, and Mr. Benjamin Hawes, the Member for the borough, will preside, either at the Horns' Tavern, or some convenient place, on the occasion. On Thursday a meeting of the inhabitants of Christ Church, Blackfriars road, will be held at Newton's Hotel for the same purpose. proper Cabinet Minister, whatever post he oc cupy, and all the cants under his auspices will be duly promoted. Bigotry will have her own Stanley, fierce and unyielding like herself. We know not what may be his station in the Cabinet; but with Ccionels Perceval and Verner for subordinates, and Dr. Lefroy for Lord Chancellor of Ireland, the Earl of Winchilsea for Lord Lieutenant, Mr. Bradshaw for Secretary, and Mr. Litton for Attorney-General, the Orange party will be se cured a due ascendancy in the Cabinet and Go vernment. The principle of coercion, which will be as es sential to the Cabinet, to compel the people to submission, as a skilful financier, is of course to be represented by the great Duke, who will en force it with his iron counsels, if he hare no longer an iron hand to carry it effectually him self into execution. Who are to be the chosen men of all the Swiss of the party—the youthful aspiran:s for place at home and abroad, without any regard to principle; the skilful negotiators, who are al ready practising on their companions and coun trymen the arts by which they are hereafter to overreach foreign statesmen, we know not; but they will most likely be found in the Upper House, and will form the Peers of Sir Robert's Cabinet. One thing is quite clear, that all the sinister interests—bread-taxers, sugar taxers, rotten:-shit• owners, Orangemen, &c. &c., who now combine to turn out the present Ministers, must have its chosen man in Sir Robert's Cabinet. Not one of them will trust him, nor will any one trust the other. As long as there was plenty of plunder to satisfy them all, it was easy to keep them in order and harmony; but now, when the booty falls short, and they must scramble and fight each for what he can get, and that not enough—now that they arc like the crew of a ship reduced to very short allowance, Sir Robert will find it a most difficult task to prevent one throwing the other overboard, and to preserve his own command. How long a Cabinet, formed of representatives of the severa sinister interests, which are now openly com bined to tax the people for the exclusive advan tage of those interests will last, we canno , say ; but the first day of its existence would be the commencement of an anti-social revolution, which would end in the "bloodiest work " o: time.

'l'he settlement of the Foreign Account yesterday sassed of well ; indeed there was scarce any account to settle. Accounts from Havanna') of the 15th of April, which state that 62 negroes from Jima ca, belived to be abolitionist emis saries, had effected a landing on the south side of Cuba. 7 hirty of these blacks, subjects of Queen Victoria, had been arrested and ordered to be shot. The only feature worth notice ‘n the British funds during the course of the morning was a stile of fifty thousand Consols, and for which were purchased Long Annuities: Money continues scarce in the House, and in demand. The intellyerice by the Great Western is not of much im portanee, with the exception that the new President is en iteavouring to please all parties ; and it appears that the affair of M'Leod has taken a favourable turn, and we have no doubt of his ultimate release from confinement.

THE DEBATE ON THE SUGAR DUTIES. The Tories have made a bill venture in enlisting the holy alliance of anti-slavery people and West India proprietors ; but they have overlooked the recoil. The great body of persons in the provinces, and even in Lon don, to whose warm, and earnest, and persevering agi tation the country is deeply indebted, for inciting it to throw off the guilt of participating in slavery, are mani festing a desire to reserve them Selves f►om being sup posed to join the Tortes in their resistance to the Go vernment measures. The a , !cession of a few of the Parliamentary repre sentatives of this powerful body to the rank of tl e Tories, on the present motion, must b 2 regarded as an error of judgment—the effect of surprise ; or of an erroneous 'notion of the actual consequences of the Government measure. It wound, perhaps, be too much to expect, that having advanced so far, they would recede ; but it is a pleasure to find that their followers out of doors are by no means uisposed to juin them in the ranks of the Tory West Indians—the ancient foes of the negro. _ This is the first substraetion from Tory strength-- the next will be that of Tory merchants and Tory ma. nuracturers. By the local prints it will appear, that the sentiments of the party taroughout the country era not altogether in unison. Though party spirit does not reject the idea of the possible retirement of their oppo nents from the Government, the measures so necessary fir the revival of trade, and to recruit the national finances, are appreciated and in some instances praised. lf, therefore, the proximate Premier should throw him self too readily and too uuteiervedly into the eager em brace of his Corn-law allies, he may expect to rtcoit in this direction. The ultras of the friends of the Church, the Corn law people, the merchants and manufacturers, will ull rise up, demanding their share of advantage from the acetsion of Sir Robert Peel to power. C.n Iw, on the One hand, meet ail el rims ?—and, an the otnei, how can he pursue a cautious policy, when an ta . ger ritai in his own ranks, more than recognized by the bulk oi his party, is anxious to undo him, and to rush on to more active measures ? We have reason to btlicve that S:r Robert P. , el al. ready regrets the success which nis party deem so near at hand ; and that he it to be more his interest to be the proximate than the actual Prerder, It was, in fact, only in con:equence of an extreme pressure from his psi ty a few weeks ago, that he agreed to as sume a more determined po,ition, and that on the pe ra!ty of forfeiting his leadership. He is caught in his own trap. He can neither be cautious nor demonstra- tive ; and by turns be will displease each section of his party, be be overthrown for ever. It is, however, of little use to speculate—the divi sion on this debate will bring on the denouement. First, dissolution ; tien the victory of one party or the other, by the return of the majority of representatives—if 01 the Whigs, their principles will be confirmed and car ried out ; if of the Tories, there will ensue a dire struggle, more energetic and nation•stirriug than any that preceded it--with a triumph for Liberalism, sooner or later, more complete and lasting—and the utter and eternal destruction of the Tories. But first of all—the dissolution. This is our hope and prayer. It is the great means of discussing, throughout the' whole length and breadth of the land, he great principles so ably enunciated by the Go vernment. It is for this we value the debate of the present week. Al the points thereby raised must be repeated and discussed, till every one shaft be as well known us any common doctrine or practice of daily life ; till, in fact, the ideas hitherto belonging chiefly to closet politicians and statesmen shall form a part of tie common sense and common feelings of all classes in the nation. How soon this seed may yield fruit, we will net at this moment attempt to guess ; but the seed must be sown, and after this manner, or the hialvc , st will he postponed to a period that 'must give too much room for worse consequences. Resignation would be a confession of wrong ; the public interest would subside, for want of an imme diate motive and stimulus to action, and the 'Furies would walk over the course —or, to speak more plainly and truly, would trample over their fallen foes, de pressed and disgraced as they must be ; and the whole party of Liberals viuuld b.:conie a disorganised and , eeble body, like a regiment of soldiers just after being disbanded. Dissolution is then the practical and safe course ; and the only honourable one. It will be a signal for the rallying of all the liberal spirits of the country vprinq roryism—their eternal ice. Therefore ite say, " God speed it, and defend the right:'—Morning Advertise?. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Hampshire Independent.) PORTSMOUTH, MAY 15.—The repairs of the chain numps at the wood mills, in the Dock-yard, are in au• tive progress ; workmen are employed day and night to expedite tnem. The gnat basin is now dry, and can not be used sea;tl until these works are completed. This will occupy about five weeks. The greatest surprise is felt by almost every one 'hat the Vindictive and Warspite, two splendid .50 gun frigates, fitted up for commission, and ready for a IR ndant, •hould have been put into ordinary to give place for , he Millen, which ship, in consequence of the repairs going on at the chain-pumps, will net be got out of dock for several weeks. The Vindictive, it will be re m,.mbered, has a battery bow, constructed by Mr. Blake, the master shipwright ; the merits of which, every one at all connected with naval matters, scent to wish to have tried. In justice to Mr. B!ake, we think his plan of bringing four guns to bear on an enemy in chase, from the bow ports of a 5)-gun stip, is so novel t matter in nautical affairs as to deserve a'tention. We tave said " novel," we might have said inipoit int. We can see no just cause why this ship, which has been so constructed warty seven years, should net ere this have 'wen put into commission. Wily was sl.e so constructed it she is not to be tried ?

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.-0" Thursday, about two o'clock, as John Revell, an industrious workiniman, and .. others were engaged in digging gravel in Frost's pit on Black- • heath, and had undermined a shelving of some extent, symp toms of a slip was i idicated ; and the workmen on the spot re treated, with the exception of Revell, who was unfortunately buried alive under a mass of twenty tons of gravel Every ex ertion was made to extricate the sufferer, and tnrough the activity of .the persons congregated, in about twenty minutes the body of Revell was dug out. but life was extinct. • DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT.—In the event anticipated of a majority agaiost Ministers on Lord Sandon's resulutior, there will be a dissolution, and no mis take. Of that the Tories may be assured—of that Emerson Tennent may rest sati fled, and so may Sergeant Jackson, and so, we can assure bim, may Colonel Bruen. We deliberately state our conviction—founded upon data which we need not now put forth—that the Whigs will obtain a consiftei - able ac. cession of strength iu Ireland.--Dublin Evening Post. THE PEEL CABINET. Various rumours are afloat as to the persons who are likely to constitute Sir Robert Peel's Ministry. We do not guarantee the authenticity of the following statement as to the persons who are actually to form the Cabinet, but of the prin ciples to be represented in it there can be no doubt whatever. We need not name the more than Whig and worse than Tory hack, who, as the Lord Chan cellor, is to represent the profligacy of the Bar and the oppressiveness of the Bench. A fit em blem of both can only be found in the ranks of the Tories. The enemy of Ireland and of the harmony of the empire is the proper head of the law, which seems made to ravage the people,--Land of the lawyers, who, for their own advantage, carry it into effect. The great commercial and monied interest which prides itself on its respectability, which has no sympathy for anything hut wealth, which is all for specious order and submission, which is decorous beyond decorum itself, while it fills its pouch without ever inquiring into the means, winch readily lends itself on all occasions to every Government to execute any tyranny, re quiring only in return security for its gains, how ever exhorbitant or however made, will be aptly represented by Sir Robert Peel himself: He is the true emblem of the present generation of great English merchants, of much show and little solidity, fair spoken, and untldr meaning, with an imposing outside, covering great hollownes,-, signing petitions one day for free trade, and sign ing petitions the next against the measures which are to give effect to those principles, act ing wholly for their personal or party interest, while they pretend to be solicitous for the public good. Of all the race of Bank Directors, great merchants, who thrive on monopolies, loans, and corruptions, and see unmoved the oppression of their poorer brethren, Sir Robert Peel is the proper emblem, and he will, therefore, represent them in the Cabinet. t l l ' i e e ry C Cabinet, l a; y, nii The av n l a g n o d n e de ofg e t n h t e l i e n m s e e l ri ves ins i i n st, o a security that the slipptehrryolPvrtehrenilearndmed gentle menay iloth some slippery n moment Toed overboard supporters. o a p T p h e e a se Duke the of Buckingham . cravings of his is the than, and they have told Si r Robert Peel that he must take the Duke, or they will not give him any support.

LITERATURE - CRUICSHANK'S O.II2VMUS.-1, - 0, L • Tilt, London, 1841. If this work be carried on with the same spirit and vivacity with which it has been commence we have littl e d ou bt it w ill rea li ze i ts pro j ector 's most sanguine expectations. As a first _Number, the one before us is a highly promising one, both as regards its illustrations and its letter-press. The " Monument to Napoleon" alone is suffi cient to ensure its popularity. In this admirable plate, Cruikshank has shown much of that grave, caustic satire fir which Hogarth was so remark able. The Emperor is represented standing erect on a pyramid of human skulls; he himself is it skeleton, attired in his favourite cocked-hat acid jack-boots; and he looks about him, with folded arms, with an air of assumption and superiority exquisitely ironical. Never waf a finer Moral conveyod than by this sketch ! It reveals at once the true character of that glory of which: conquerors in all ages have been so covetou• We would recommend those who may be ena moured of the heroic deeds—as we confess- our . selves to have once been—of' the mighty Napo eqq,, to fix a thoughtful gaze on this ghastly sketch, which will go far to cure them of their false notions of heroism. The cap of liberty, and the eagle, which are affixed to the pyramid. of skulls, add greatly to the point and meaning; of the satire. Tile portrait of George Crl4- shank, which accompanies a brief autobiogr4 , - phical memoir, is a capital likeness, eoa veying,, not merely the features, but the exac expression of the original's countenance. The clear full eye, has an earnest and penetrating look, but in the play of humour about the mouth we recognize the genuine spirit of the carica turist. The literary contents of the 'Number aboundin piquant vanities. Among the cleverest articles we may mention the rhymed quiz on the: new school of portrait painting, entitled' " Pho tographic Phenomena," which is smart, and evol witty in passages. TEXAS. 2 Vols. Hastings, London, 1841. In his preface to these volumes which give the fullest- accounts that have yet appeared, of th e r i se, progress, and pro spects of the r e p u bli c 01 - * Texas—Mr. the author, pays the folloWing deservea tribute of respect to the memory- of his friend and patron, Lord Durham - :—" The first time I saw his Lordship in 1833, I was drawn to him by a sentiment ofattachment which seeMedto be re ciprocal. - Whatever trust he reposed ,in me af terwards, strengthened that sentiment, fbr his soul was a mirror on which meanness and du plicity had never left a shade. Even in the tabiiities of his pile!: temperament, there always' seemed to me a gladdening leaven of Truman , kindness. His foibles belonged to the accident`' of his position ; his virtues were his own ; and t' my part I could more readily excuse the unr.re meditated overflow of an impetous temperar Aentp than tolerate the frigid self-sufficiency whi...h emm trenches itself behind specious formalities, for the conservation of its prerogatives, real or sy:pposea• Truth, justice, and honesty were thu pervading elements of Lord Durham's moral nature, and because they. were, I honoured him when living , and mourned him when dead. As a public math he was surpassed by none in devotion to his country, and equalled by few in a clear percer, tion of its int e r e st s; b ut b e was •in advance Of his time, and paid the usual penalty for being so." There is much justice in this character ° I Lord Durham, whose worst .fault, we • be' lieve, was an irritable temperament, w hich. was apt at times to get the better of his' judgment. Having accompanied his Lordship to Canada, Mr. Kennedy, when his official dutlt* were somewhat abruptly brought to a close. by the return of the Governor-General to Enciand, took the opportunity- of visiting the souther' ) States of America, and thence passing into To,;as , of which he here gives- us an account. O n the whole, his account is favourable, and, not. impro bably, will have the effect of directing the atten tion of enterprising emigrants to this •hitherto neglected—and, indeed, in some respects an' known —country, Texas, the author assures 09, is remarkable fbr the general salubrity of eta climate, and has been termed the Italy of Anne" rica. That portion of it which consists chietlY of prairies, is blessed with a delightful tempera: ture favourable to most of the products whim render life agreeable. The mildness of the-sea sons enables the planter to pick all the cotton he can raise, to grow as much corn as he requires, and to accumulate stock of every description , almost without labour or expense. The Prevail ing summer wind from the south-west telnPer ° the v. araith of duly and August, itswith grateful and c ons t ant p l ay. While th e midsummer air of the alluvial region of the Mississipi is sill . t' charged with noxious moisture, the clear atmo sphere of Texas is quickened and renovated by invigorating sea-breezes, which, passing over the dry, rolling, and ver d ant surface of the interior, enliven the spirits, and iuduee aloe of existence, even fbr the p ass i ve p h ys i cal enjoyment it afrol7°" Time drought that pervades the season troth the close of April to September is often Mollh i lied by copious and refreshing showers, whic sometimes distribute thei r f avours very unequabY. • The unequal distributi on o f ra i n i s i ndee d consi dered by huSbandmen the chief defect in time character of Texas. One section ofthe country is frequently saturated by teeming shower*' while, at the di s t ance of only a few miles, th e ground is gaping fur moisture. In Decembe r and January the cold north winds sweep down the plains with nearly as much regularity . as the south-west wind in summer; be t : notwithstniding their severity, th e wi nter` are generally as m o d era t e as t h e mont h 0 t November in the North American States. Ica' is seldom seen, except in the districts towards time North, and snow is a rare and transient visiter' Estimated by its effects on a bountiful soil, di ( ' climate of Texas may, it seems, claim to be cn— titled a perpetual summer, admitting, as it cl o e ° ' of two or three crops a year, of fruit and vegeta' bles, in great abundance and perfection. Muc quitos, however, a n d - san d-fli es, the curse of all tropical countries, abound in the lower grounu? of Texas ; alligators infest the rivers; arid ven mous snakes are numerous, though ofcourse theyr will become more rare as civilization gradvallY increases. Mr. Kennedy's second volume is de voted to a consideration of the recent quarrels between .Texas and Mexico, in which in man.); respects h e g i ves a different view of the sultiee to those which have hitherto been published. SCOTT'S LIFE OF SWIFT. - Cadell, Edinburgh, 1841. We are glad to meet with this re-publicatioliy one cheap, commodious Number, of Scott's Lir e • of Swift, which till now, we believe, has not beel l published apart from the voluminous edition t° which it was prefixed. In point of style, g°' minuteness and accuracy of details, it is a very' creditable perfbrm ance , b ut we are not dispose... to rate very highly the critical estimate of Swift' literary powers. The biographer, we conceive , is much too lavish o f hi s pra i ses of the Deart 's " felicity of expression." There are certainly • some pointed, neatly turned couplets in poems—which, however, are greatly infeit! s r to Prior's light, lively rhymes ; but prose is distinguished by nothing so , D uc , - as its low, homely, and ungracetbl meter. Compared with Addison's 'style, it is the fashi••): l to L l i j i e ld rft c 'c o t r l i y .e c u t ' : I ;t e s a i d t a l b la le s , and is pronounce it. Many instances of negligence may be found even in Swift's most carefully written work, the " Tale of a Tub," - and " Travels of Gulliver," decidedly his master' piece, as respects invention, abound in gro ss • long nesses of taste. Though as a dry, sarcastic 110 , ' bbeyellio means so ters . c niourist, the Dean of St. Patrick's is without rival, yet his writings seldom give genuine pleasure; we are struck, it is true, with the vigorous intellect they display; but, at the same time, we are disgust e d w ith the cola , heartless, cynical spirit that pervades them. In' e stead of elevating, improving,- and refining 1'13" inanity, Swift's 'constant object seems to be to degrade it as much as possible. Spleen and veterate misanthropy are the inspiration of a l " most. every sentence he penned. Yet his a°,, mirers call him a moralist. If so, he i s a m oralis t of the lowest and most repulsive cl ass . It is n°' a little singular that the most unsocial of antlior should have had the most social of biograph er' ; and that that biographer should have been o:le of his warmest eulogists. Extremes, it is said , meet ; and this is a case in point.
