MORNING SUN MINISTERIAL ARRANGEMENTS. ___ (From The Sun of Last Night.) ~.. Sir Robert Peel is still busily occupied in the agree able task of forming and completing his Cabinet, as well as of filling up the different offices of the House hold, and the minor appointments incidental to the coming into office of the Tory party. Those who have already received their appointments continue to move round the great centre of their system, Sir Robert Peel ; and those who have not yet been selected are in constant attendance upon the Premier-elect, whose Ministerial levees daily increase in the number of their attendants. Among those whe have to-day had interviews with the Right Hon. Baronet are the Right Hon. Henry Goulburn, Mr. Herries, Sir James Graham, Sir Henry Hardinge, Lord Hill, Lord Jersey, Lord Ashley, and Lord Lowther. A Treasury messenger was this morning sent off to Claremont with despatches for her Majesty ; and it was expected, from the early hour of his depar ture, that a Privy Council would in all probability be held by the Queen this day, for the purpose of receiving from Lord Melbourne and his colleagues the seals of office, and transmitting them to their successors. No orders were, however, given for summoning a Council up to one o'clock this afternoon, consequently there could have been no intention on the part of her Ma jesty to hold the Council to-day. But as it appears likely that all the appointments will have been filled up in the course of this day, it is probable that the " seals" will pass from their present into Tory hands to-morrow. LORD CLONUURRY'S PROTEST. DISSENTIENT : 1. Because the - Address adopted by the House, in fail ing to respond to the recommendations contained in her Majesty's gracious Speech from the Throne, is to be regarded as a deliberate condemnation of the policy of her Majesty's Ministers, and, as such, must tend to their speedy retirement from the service of the State, and to the substitution of others as advisers of the Crown, whose known maxims of government afford no ground of hope that any measure emanating from their councils can adequately meet the difficulties of the present crisis of public affairs. 2. Because that part of the policy of those Ministers to which such condemnation most pointedly applies has been merely an endeavour unon their parts practically to enforce the enlightened and intelligible principle, that it is mote just and wise, with a view to the provi sion of a sufficient public revenue, to remove restric tions upon commerce, and thus extend its operation, .than to perpetuate monopolies and increase taxation. 3. Because the political party from which successors to those ministers must probably be chosen has uni formly proved itself, whether in or out of power, to be hostile to the reform of abuses, to the rights of consci ence, and to the freedom of the subject, and, conse quently, must fail, as advisers of the Crown, to command that respect without which the affairs of a great empire cannot be successfully administered. 4. Because the uniform practice of that party, when in power, has been to foster social differences and re ligious animosities among the inhabitants of Ireland — a system of misgovernment as injurious in its ultimate results to those whom it professed to favour as to the large number it directly oppressed, inasmuch as its baneful effect has been to direct the attention of the country from important national objects, and to pre vent that cordial union of its intellect and strength which would render a continuance of bad government impossible. MOST ESPECIALLY DISSENTIENT : 5. Because that political party has, either by the ac tual enforcement of, or the constant attempt to enforce, its own vicious principles of Government, made itself justly odious to the large majority of the Irish people. Whatever may be the temporary professions of an administration composed of members of that party, by the Roman Catholics of Ireland, it can only be regarded as a Government of their inveterate enemies, who, to the very last, approved and defended the iniquities of the penal code, and who, since its ex torted repeal, have bean foremost in every attempt to curtail their civil and political privileges. The Catholics must feel, if for no other reason, that the party which insulted when it could not injure will be sure to injure whenever it can. Between an Administration so consti tuted, and subjects thus justifiably distrustful, but con scious, at the same time, that they are now too nume rous and strong to be outraged with impunity, there is little hope that the primary object of all good govern ment can be certainly attained, viz., a prompt and chetrful obedience to the laws, founded upon the con viction that the laws are just and justly administered —on the contrary, in looking to the prcbable course of events in Ireland, there is too much reason to appre hend that the restoration to power of a party notoriously inimical to so many millions of her Majesty's subjects must produce in the minds of the latter such general and deep discontent, as in its consequence must speedily en danger the publi..• peace, and ultimat e ly i m p a i r t hd strength of the British empire. CLONCURRY. EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY . The half-yearly general meeting of the Proprietors of this Railway was held on Tuesday last, in their rooms, Queen-street, Glasgow, Mr. JOHN LEADBETTER, Chair man of the Company, in the Chair. In opening the business, the CHAIRMAN said this would be their last general meeting before the opening of the line. This had been longer delayed than was an ticipated from various causes, but more particularly from the state of the weather ; and, consequently, they had lost a large share of the autumn traffic which they had anticipated. They would, however, be yet able to ob= tun some part of it ; and from the numerous railways now connected with Glasgow, there was every pros pect of the results of the traffic on the line exceeding their most sanguine expectations. He hoped at their next meeting, in February, to have some gratifying in formation to lay before them, as there was no doubt that, except a few hundred yards, the line would be open by the Ist of October, and throughout in a month afterwards. Mr. BANNATYNE then read the Report of the Direc tors, which, among the other transactions of the year, entered at great length into the question at present be fore the Court of Session, between the Board of Direc tors and the Edinburgh Committee, as to the extent of the several powers under the Act. lie also read the Engineer's report. Roth the reports spoke in flattering terms of the progress which was making by the respec tive contractors, so far as the weather permitted ; and with the exception of about three hundred yards at Creyridge, where a whinstone rock had impeded their progress, the Engineer was confident the line would be ready for opening on the Ist October. He stated that the carriages, engines, &.c., were already delivered or in progress of delivery ; and that everything would be in complete readiness by the time he mentioned. After the reports had been read, Mr. DviKEs moved their adoption, which being seconded, A long conversation took place, in which a number of gentlemen took part, but ultimately the report was ap proved ; the Edinburgh gentlemen entering their dissent and a counter statement upon the record. This important national undertaking, which is re. e idl y approaching towards its completion, continues to in crease in interest, as the operations for its rxeomplish ment seem drawing to a close. This a , servation was amply verified on Wednesday last at Fs',..itirk and neigh bourhood, when the first locomotive "engine which has as yet traversed that portion of the tine made her appear ance.. It having b een known tr 4 the inhabitants of the district the previous day, thr.'i; the engine would pass that point, the whole line of railway, including the bridges between the Falkirk Ti.amel and Lock No. 16 Bridge on the Canal, was crowded at an early hour by anxiously 'expectant spectators, impatiently waiting the arrival of such an important and unusual visitor. Imme diately on her emerging from the tartarean recesses of the tunnel, her approach was enthusiastically wel comed by the reiterated shouts of the delighted assemblage. The Falkirk instrumental band was in attendance, and, by their enlivening strains, greatly •enhanced what must have, under any circumstances, passed been a highly-int eres ti ng spectacle. All the bridges on this part of th e li ne w h ere the engine for the first time were decorated with flans, :and crowded with groups of gratified and astonished pect'Ators, who testified, by their enthusiastic cheers, their sympathy and interest in the scene. On leaving the tunnel, she proceeded in gallant style as far as the stupendous excavations going on at the Hill of Croy, ten :Hiles further on—some idea of the gigantic nature of which work may be formed from the bare statement that the cutting is upwards of two hundred yards in iene-th, and seventy feet in dipth, through solid and te nacious whinstone. The operations in every part of . ' ne line are proceeding with the utmost vigilant r_ .etivty, whi c h i. ro miscs an early consummation to Or. derculean Said or in rai task. The permanent rai l s are either ' d prog ress o f being laid, along nearly * .die whole distanpce; and before many weeks are sui.d, our worthy citizens will be enabled to visit their 1- .)rethren in the west with a celerity and comfort lis",dly dreamed of by our boldest roma ncers of half a 11,entury ago.—Edinburgh Paper. 11 :- F ...EtRINGFISHERY. DUNRAP, A UG. been le , -... 28.— Si nce Wednesday the fishing has -s general and less heavy than for the fortnight Tree ding. Few boats have exceeded twenty crans, and ir.ost of them nearer from five to ten crans. Selling prices 12s. to 13s. As the take lasts generally to the 321( 1 .d1e of next month, we may still expect a heavy fishing. The herring fishing at Berwick, Holy Island, North Sunderland, and Eyemouth, is now represented as unsuc cessful—much less favourable, indeed, than was for some time anticipated. ABERDEEN, AUG. 28.—A good many of the boats here have now fished their complement of 200 trans, and The average is about 150. Next week is the last week of the fishing. Prices are still looking down. BANFF, AUG. 26.—The weather having been pretty favourable, the fishing has been doing very well for the last ten days, particularly about Fraserburgh, where the fishing was heavy ; and our boats having gone in that di rection, brought in large shots of herrings. The fish ing on the south side is, upon the whole, perhaps, not 42qual to last year's, but that on the north side being much better, we believe there are as many herrings cured as will supply the demand, and any additional ki :lantity will only depress prices. There are letters f ro m Stettin, of the 18th instant, received here to day, which mention that there were still 6,000 barrels of old herrings in the market, price 6J dollars ! for new do. there were sellers, on arrival, at nine two-third dol lars, but no buyers. Only two cargoes had arrived at Stettin, but, there being eight or ten more reported at .) - ‘ p )1110(Sound as destined for that market, it h a d a ve r y un ..___..fakourable influence on prices.

On Tuesday the Lord Ordinary (Cuninghame)grantod on the application of the Rev. Ni r. Livingstone, of Cam busnethan, an interdict prohibiting and discharging the Presbytery of Hamilton, and the General Assembly, from farther proceedings in his case, or pronouncing any sentence against him, on the ground, as stated in the application, that the Presbytery is partly composed of quoad sacra ministers, and that any proceedings, on the part, of a court so constituted, are illegal and unconsti tutional. Our readers are aware that Mr. Livingstone was li belled by the Presbytery of Hamilton for theft, and, after trial, found guilty, which finding was affirmed in its main particulars by the Synod of Glasgow and Ayr. At last meeting of the General Assembly Mr. Living stone presented to tile Lord Ordinary a note of sus pension and interdict against the Presbytery of Hamil ton and the General Assembly, praying the Court to " interdict, prohibit, and discharge" them from pro nouncing any sentence against him, and from farther proceeding in the process, on the ground that a number of chapel ministers had been introduced into the Presby tery ; and that any judgment pronounced by a body so constituted was illegal and incompetent. The Lord Or dinary reported the case to the first division, giving it as his opinion that he ought to order answers to be given to the note of suspension, and reserve the question of inter dict, considering the immense extent to which the inter dict would go, " amounting, in fact, to a complete ex tinction of the functions of every ecclesiastieal Court in Scotland." The Judges, consisting of the Lord President, L or d Mackenzie, Lordord Gillies, and Lord Fullerton, unani mously concurred in the opinion of the Lord Ordinary, and directed answers to be given by the Presbytery and General Assembly to the note of suspension, and re serving the question of interdict, chiefly on the ground that the intcrdict would be followed by some veryimport ant consequences. Lord Gilliep observed that it would go " to annihilate the proceedings, not of that Assem bly only, but of every Assembly which had been held since the act of admitting quoad sacra ministers was passed." Answers were accordingly ordered, but nei ther the Presbytery nor the Assembly complied with the order. The case came again before the Lord Ordinary on Tuesday last, when, as we have already stated, his Lordship granted the interdict; and, from what fell from the Judges in May, there can be no doubt that, if the matter is brought before the whole Court, his decision will be affirmed. —Scotch paper. HOP INTELLIGENCE. (From the Maidstone Journal.) The first pocket of new hops was sent to market on Saturday last by Mr. Timothy Standen, of Tenterden, and sold by Mr. Isaac Beeman, at 9/. per cwt. MAIDSTONE.-Our reports from all quarters speak of the great improvement in hops produced by the late fine weather. In this improvement our own neighbourhood partakes, wherever the plants have not been previously too much injured. After all, however, our growth must come short , and we have heard nothing to alter the opi nion expressed in our last. FARLi:IGH.—The hops are going on extremely well here. WATERINGBURY.—The hops in this parish do not come out so well as the grounds below the hill, many of the Golding grounds being very small—the same with the grounds at Nettlestead. Yalding are come out very fine; and are extremely good. _ RYARSH, OFFILC:My AND WEST MALLING.—The hops in these parishes are going on well, and the celebrated " Offham bottoms" promise to maintain their reputation. STAPLEHURST.—The late warm weather has caused a great improvement in the hops in this parish ; they are growing out very large, and with favourable weather pro mise to be of excellent quality. SEVENOAKS.—The hops in this district have very much improved this last week, it is expected the picking will commence about the 9th or 10th of September, the esti mated quantity cannot much exceed two bags per acre— there are a great many acres very short of bine, and some gardens very much injured by mould. CRANBROOK.—We consider the hops are rather im proving in this neighbourhood, although many grounds are very backward and still in bur. GonimunsT.—The hops have improved in the last ten days and are grown out large in many gardens, but some are very backward, and much bur is still to be seen. Should the weather prove favourable for the next fortnight we shall get a tolerable crop. LAMBERHURST.—The hops in this parish have made great progress during the last fortnight, and bid fair for an average crop. TICEHURST.—The late fine warm days have muchim proved the best grounds, and brought the bur into hop ; but there are many still in a weakly and backward state. FARNHAM—The hops in this district are still look ing exceedingly well, and there is now nothing that can injure them but severe gales of wind. The picking in some grounds will be commenced in a few days. THE MINISTERIAL ARRANGEMENTS.--We are authorised to state that the Duchess of Bedford and the Marchioness of Normanby have resigned their places as Ladies in Waiting to her Majesty, and that her Ma jesty has accepted their resignation. IMPORTANT SURVEY OF THE THAMES WITH A VIEW TO MOST EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS.— By permission of the Lords of the Admiralty, Captain Bullock, of the Fearless steam vessel, engaged in the Government surveys of the north seas, arrived at Woolwich on Tuesday last, for the purpose of com mencing an inspection of the River Thames, by the di rection of the Navigation Committee, from Staines Bridge to Yartlett Creek, within the jurisdiction of the City. Captain Bullock was accompanied in the survey by Mr. Walker, the president of the Society of Civil Engineers, Captain Fisher, and the other harbour mas ters, together with the water bailiff, and the clerk of the city works above bridge. They have already surveyed both shores from London Bridge to Chelsea, and it is understood they are prepared to make important sugges tions, as well for the improvement of the banks of the river as to give facilities to the Thames navigation, with out innovating upon the other important interests con nected with the river. The Directors of the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway afforded the public of Newcastle a very cheap trip to Carlisle and back on Sunday last. This called forth the holy ire of the Rev. Mr. Burns ; and he issued a very injudicious handbill, which described it " a trip to Hell for 7s. 6d.," and announced that he would preach in the Cattle Market at seven o'clock in the morning— the hour at which the " sinners" departed ; and that he would meet in the same place at five o'clock in the after noon, to pray for their safe return. Mr. 8., in the course of his long sermons, met with some opposition. On this morning (Monday) a bill in retaliation was posted on fil e walls of the town, stating that the company had b:.-en at Hell„ but it was so 'lull with hyromiticalpriest;, that the Devil could not take them in ; and that ".:ne Devil sent his complimrznts to Mr Burns. Mr Barns is, no doubt, ondect is rather calcu sincere his exertions ; !mit his - .., lated, to bring religion ! nto . 'ne people, in Scotch . contempt than otherwise. ..(ages, may sometimes be frVnt ened out of their prn"eriety; but the inhabitants castle must be . reasoned with and convin ce o . I t i s „ t the way to Ir_.ake converts, for a minister , in the first in stance, to insult men's feelings.— Tyne Mercury. A few days ago, a lad, who was employed by a farmer at Peckham to shoot birds in his corn-field shot a wood-pigeon. On reaching the spot where the bird fell, he was surprised at finding another, hovering close to the wounded one. He took up the dead bird and carried it in his band some distance, closely attended by the other bird, sometimes following him and sometimes going before, and (to use the lad's own expression) making quite a fuss about him." On reaching the field-gate the lad stopped to re-load his gun, placing the (lead bird on the gate-post, when the other pigeon flew to the side of his lifeless companion, and, without the slightest attempt to escape, quietly suffered itself to be secured by the boy. The bird was brought home, and put into a small room, where shortly after it was found dead. It is now stuffed, and in the possession of the writer. DEPARTURE OF THE QUEEN'S TIGER.—On Saturday forenoon the fine brig Arab, of Dundee, Cap tain David K. Thorns, from New York, and having on board one of the finest specimens of the " ociloto," or " tiger in miniature," a prevent from one of the South American Chi e f s to our - .dog Gracious Queen, arrived i n the St. K at h ar i ne ' s-d ' and playt;-', ock. This beautiful animal, whi c h is som e ti ni es te e d the "tin.er-eat," is remarkably t ame duri"' and is one of - the largest of its species, and - the voyage was confined in a wooden se . on deck, on the starboard quarter of . ine vessel. Since the arrival of the Arab in the tSi. Ratharine's dock, many respectable persons 'nave visited the royal passenger. Yesterday forenoon, however, Mr. Edward Cross, of the Surrey Zoological Gar dens, accompanied by his principal assistant, de puted, it is said, by the Royal command, proceeded to the vessel in St. Katherine's-dock, and demanded pos session of his young royal highness, a request which was complied with, after considerable procrastination, occa sioned by the Custom -house otil-cer on board refusing to part with his illustrious charge, until the somewhat vex atious Custom- house regulations were fulfilled, the " Tiger in minature" having been entered in the Arab's manifest of cargo, although no duty was payable thereon. The necessary official forms having been com plied with, and a " pass" out of the principal or " grand entrance" obtained from Captain Thorns, the royal pas senger, who was taken special care of during the voyage, was landed, a process which he did not altogether seem to relish, and immediately thereafter carried by four men, escorted by Mr. Taylor, the superintendent of the dock-police, Mr. Cross, his assistant, and a large crowd of pedestrians, to a light van which was in attendance. His royal highness having been made an inside pas senger, was driven off to the Surrey Zoological Gardens, where, we were assured, he is only to remain until suit able apartments are provided for him at Buckingham Palace. A YANKEE TRICK.—The Fall River Arche type tells this story:—" Captain Thomas Sandford, who is in his 70th year, in the little sloop Morning Star, of 30 tons, left this port on the 29th of last May, for the port of Harbor Island, West Indies, and made land at the Hole in the Wall, on Abaco, in nine clays ; after which, for six days, it rained, and was so thick that neither sun, m oon, nor stars, were to be seen. O n th e 10th of June he left Abaco for Powell's Point, Ele theura, or Hetera, where he arrived on the evening of the 20th. The next day, 21st, he loaded with fruit, such as pine apples, limes, and oranges, and sailed for this port on the following morning. He arrived here the 3d instant, having been absent 35 days; having sailed out and back, 2,800 miles. When Captain Sandford projected this voyage, he stated that he was going to the West Indies after a load of fruit to sell here on the 4th of July. The statement was regarded as so incre dible, that many bets were taken that he would not re turn by the 4th. He had but two hands with him, and the whole voyage was performed without a pen being put to paper for any purpose. His reckoning was kept with apiece of chalk in the bottom of his quadrant case." THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1841. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAYERS OF YESTERDAY. POST.—Sir Robert Peel having acknowledged in em phatic language his sympathy with the distresses of the working people in the manufacturing districts—a sympathy which every right-hearted man !must feel—his party op ponents are not satisfied that he should have any credit for this sentiment. What signifies it, say they, that he feels pain at the condition of the distressed working people, since at the same time he opposes the measures which would relieve them ? But is this assertion true ? Does Sir R. Peel oppose measures which, if carried, would relieve the distress of the people ? The unscrupulous opponents who try to excite popular odium against him know that he does not. There are, no doubt, some who believe that the passing of such measures as the defeated Ministry recommended would tend to mitigate distress in the manufacturing districts ; but of that number it is sufficiently notorious that Sir R. Peel is not one. He believes exactly the opposite. He thinks that such measures as have been pro posed would aggravate the existing distress. This ap pears to be not only his opia: ion, but the opinion also of large majorities in both Houses of Parliament, and of a large majority of the Parliamentary electors of the United Kingdom. And yet in the face of this, for the purpose of exciting odium against Sir R. Peel, it is as sumed that the proposed measures would certainly have mitigated the distress, and therefore that he who opposed these measures can have no practical and genuine sym pathy with those who are suffering ! We can scarcely imagine a greater stretch of impudence than that of the party writers who assume that the new system of taxa tion devised by the late Ministers would certainly have relieved the distress which exists in the manufacturing districts. We are not surprised at it, however, when we call to mind that in his closing speech on the Address Lord J. Russell assumed that the measures proposed by his Government, and rejected by Parliament, would have given employment to the labourers who arc now unem ployed. • CHRONICLE.—We have cqpied from a Contempo rary Journal a report of a case at Bow-street, on Tues day last, in which an individual of property, and con nected with the first families in the country, was held to bail by Mr. Jardine. We always reluctantly insert cases of this description, and are not sure that public morals would not gain by the absolute exclusion of them from newspapers. We now notice the case merely with reference to the point of bail. The object of bail is to prevent the escape of the accused party, by which the ends of justice may be defeated. The case for which Mr. Bankes was held to bail, is one which men of fortune, conscious of the truth of the charge, seldom meet. We do not wish to prejudge Mr. Bankes. Notwithstanding the very suspicious circumstances, detailed in the report, he may have been a coward, and not a criminal. But what we ask, and what the public are every where asking, is, how came Mr. Jardine to demand no higher bail for the appearance of Mr. Bankes than he would have demanded in the case of a mechanic or la bourer for any trumpery assault ? Is Mr. Jardine so raw, so little acquainted with the world, as not to know that in a case in which a rich man has a strong motive to escape from justice, he can always obtain two sureties for the paltry sum of 100/. each ? A rich man can have little difficulty in indemnifying his sureties, when the sum is only 100/ ; and, from the Bishop of Clogher downwards, it is a matter of notoriety that bail is no obstacle to the escape of rich parties. Mr. Jardine very probably thinks that public morality is not benefited by giving notoriety to these disgusting cases; and, as we have said, we could wish never to see them in the columns of a newspaper. But when a case of this sort is brought before a Magistrate—when the Magistrate actually knows that the accused party is a man of great wealth (and Mr. Jardine knew right well who Mr. William Bankes was), we ask, if it is proper that such trifling bail should be demanded ? What is this but strengthen ing the general impression that in England rich men may always count upon impunity ; and that men suffer, not for their offences, but their poverty ? Of all inequa lities the most offensive is that which wears the mask of equality. To hold a drunken cobler for a trumpery assault to bail for an amount equal to that demanded for a man of rank and wealth, for an offence which carries with it exclusion from respectable society, is a species of equality which cannot be too much reprobated. TIMES.—We rejoice that we may at last congratulate the country upon the final transference of power from the hands by which it has been so long unworthily wielded, into those of an administration which promises • to be as durable as the stanchest Conservative can desire. It must be admitted, by all whose judgment is not utterly warped by faction, that it would be difficult to imagine a Government which should combine in its personal com position more of the elements of stability than that of Sir Robert Peel. Whether we look to the experience, the ability, the influence, or the character of its mem bers, we find in each a certain guarantee of success. The Duke of Wellington gives to it not only the lustre of his great name—a name which, like that of royalty, is a tower of strength—but the weight of a judgment which, upon all matters relating to foreign policy, and the internal and external defences of the nation, is looked up to even by his political opponents as little less than oracular. The new Premier and the new Colonial Secretary are men who far surpass in eloquence and intellectual power all their competitors in the House of Commons; and, in the House of Lords, there is no man who can be com pared, in these respects, to Lord Lyndhurst (now for the third time Lord Chancellor), except one whose mercurial and erratic genius has long disqualified him for coope ration with any political party. The acceptance of office by noblemen in whom the agricultural interest places un bounded confidenc" is a complete answer to the insinu ation, of which we have already heard so much—that the champions of that interest are unwilling to as sist in such a modification of the present Corn laws as Sir Robert Peel has intimated his intention to propose, for the purpose of remedying the abuses and evils connected with the present scale of duties. We ne ver gave them credit for being so unreasonable, and we now see, in their accession to the Government, a most satisfactory security for the accomplishment of those ne cessary changes, without the slightest disturbance of the union existing between all branches of the Conservative party. The separation of the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer from the Premiership, is most judicious, and will form a salutary constitutional precedent for the future. ADVERTISER.—Even were the demon of monopoly to lay his clutches on every other article of trade, it might be supposed • that at least one solitary exempti on would be made on behalf of food. To tax the staple article of human food is to assume an attitude of ar• gonism to the Creator and Benefactor of the w- r ft his provi dent creatures. It i s on is virtually to incur the guilt of audaciou-' Divine Being to hi s f a ce that the boy-- -- telling the device shall be int erce pted in 0- • -ones of eir course to h is depen part of the monopolists an avowal, by actions, if - purposes shall 1 ,rot in words, that his betdficent • he has maw e frustrated, and that the b e i ngs w h om se shall be deprived of th a t f oo d w hi c h h e meant l lor their sustenance. And such is the appalling sect of the Corn-laws at this moment ! Myriads of God's creatures are at this instant enduring the I horrors of starvation through the operation of these ' accursed imposts, who, but for them, would never have known what it is to want their daily bread The Royal Duke, after 'laying down the axiom that the prosperity of a great manufacturing and commercial nation depends on foreign trade, and access to foreign markets, _concludes his protest by asserting the self evident principle, that a system of fiscal laws which ex . eludes foreign produce, by imposing high duties on it, for the sake of protecting particular interests, impedes ) on the one hand, the free course of industry, and on din other, enhances artificially the cost of subsistence, The present position of this country affords a painful proof of the truth of this position. Our trade is not only im peded. and, indeed, brought to the very verge of extinc tion, by the fiscal restrictions and prohibitions which stain the Statute-book, but millions of our population are suffering as much from the effect of these restric tions and prohibitions, as if Divine Providente had vi sited the land with the calamity of famitte, the protest of his Royal Highness against mononly, in every shape or form it may assume, appears 'at a most seasonable moment. Perceive that the thi r d e diti on o f t h e Times s R i A s HERALD.—We dated ~ ~,welve o'clock" yesterday afternoon. That is, abon the same time th a t Sir Robert Peel was .. h st oy the Gr ea t W es t ern R a il way, to wa i t upon ajesty with the list o f a Mi n i stry FOR " authenti cation"eriEg in the only way in which that authentication celild be procured—namely, " by the high and indis pensable sanction of her Majesty." Now, we are enabled to state, on the authority of our Windsor Correspondent, that Sir Robert Peel quitted the Royal presence at two P.M., so that by no possibility could any " authentic" list have been publishNi or even heard of in London, until two hours And a half, or three hours, probably after it had been gravely publish e d by th e Times. 'Unless the Influence of this latter has accomplished the prayer of the two lovers in the play— " Ye gods ! annihilate both space and time," we must demur to any such idle pretensions to " authen ticity" as it has claimed for a paper in which one mate rial error at least, upon its own showing, had been in corporated throughout the entire of its first and second impressions. The third left the Times still at issue with the Post on the question of the Duke of Richmond's presence in the new Cabinet. ".Aron nostrum—tantos coniponere lites." Yet we have some right to remind both our Contemporaries that so long ago as the 21st ultimo, we published (with the permission of the party by whom it was communicated) a list of the pro bable constitution of Sir Robert Peel's Ministry, before any of our brethren had promulgated any intelligence on that subject. The point on which we were permitted to speak with most confidence was, the intention, on the part of the Conservative leader, not to oppose the re-election of the Whig Speaker, Mr. Shaw Lefevre. The public will not have forgotten, pro bably, the very angry comments which that publication drew down upon us, from contemporaries of all parties. The predicted re-election of the Speaker, however, seemed to be the " head and front" of our offending. Some of the profoundest arg umen t s i n the world were launched against us day after day to prove that such a notice was preposterous—that such a course would be instantly suicidal to the Conservative party. It may be a very great hardship, but it is a very certain fact, that the nomination and re-election of Speaker eventuated precisely and literally as we bad foretold. GLOBE. —The members of the Cabinet, and their offices, with the exception of several of the subordinate appointments in the new Administration, are definitively settled. At the audience with her Majesty, to which Sir Robert Peel was yesterday admitted, the Royal sanc tion was given to the programme submitted by the new Premier for that purpose. This act of the sovereign, though merely formal, was, no doubt, performed with the characteristic promptitude, grace, and self-com mand, for which her Majesty is remarkable. Like her Royal grandfather, our beloved Queen is al-, ready celebrated for bar firm adhesion to principle. The observation of George the Third to the first Ambassador from the United States of America, after they had succeeded in establishing their independence of the British Crown, is well known. At his first audience, and when a momentary embarrassment was visible in the Minister, on delivering his credentials to the King, his Majesty said, " I was the last to consent to the recognition of your independence ; I will also be the last to violate it." Some such feeling may be sup- posed to have been in action in the mind of Queen Vic toria at the audience of yesterday. The office of Post master-General, it is said, has not yet been appropriated. Lord Lowther, who has been named, and for whom it was reserved, has, it is reported, intimated a dis inclination to yield cordial support to a Ministry, the policy of which is likely to embrace conces sions to the demands of the times much more extensive than any uncompromising Tory can sanction. The appointment of Lord Chancellor of Ireland is a difficult subject with the new Premier. Sir Edward Sugden, who held the seals under the former Peel-Wel lington Administrations, is understood to urge his im plied claims with unabated vigour. If the Irish seals bt. , committed to Sir Edward Sugden, there NI ill be a revival of the discussion to which his former appointment to the Lord Chancellorship of Ireland gave rise ; and, if they be entrusted to other hands, a more distinct reference to the supposed difficulty in immediately fixing upon a Chancellor for Ireland would be un g enerous, and perfectly gratuitous. A difficulty of another kind is said to exist with reference to the Attorney and Solicitor-General for England. It is perfectly understood that the Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer contemplates an early retire ment from the Bench ; Sir Frederick Pollock, who was the Attorney-Genera of Sir Robert Peel's former Administration, is as confidently named as his succes sor. But Sir William Follett, whose seat for Exeter is deemed very precarious, if appointed Solicitor- General, will in such case be compelled to face his constituents twice ; once on taking office as Solicitor- General ; and again on succeeding to the office of Attor ney-General, vacated by Sir F. Pollock on his succeed ing Lord Abinger in the Chiefship of the Exchequer. This difficulty might be obviated by, as was originally proposed, appointing Sir William Follett Attorney- General, and Sir F. Pollock Solicitor-General. But then, as a Chief Justiceship is the understood privilege of an Attorney-General, to pass over Sir William Follett, and appoint the Solicitor -General to the vacancy, al though perfectly understood by those in the secret, would, as a matter of history, be regarded as a reflection upon Sir William Follett, and, as a matter of precedent, be considered as a dan gerous invasion of the prescriptive rights of the Bar. It is currently' reported that a negotiation is pending with Lord Abinger to induce an immediate resig nation, with a view to obviate the difficulties we have described. The First Commissioner of Woods and Fo rests—or, as the office is now termed, " First Commis sioner of Land Revenues"—is also dependent on arrange ments not yet complete. Lord Granville Somerset is named for this office. The Mastership of the Mint and the Hea,d of the Ordnance department are also unappro priated. The Right Hun. J. C. Herries (who with Mr. Fitzroy Kelly was rejected at Ipswich, and who is there fore without a seat in Parliament), will, it is said, have the former office. COURIER.L - The list of Sir 11. Peel's Ministry is now before the country, and we challenge malignant criticism itself to deny the extreme aptitude of its individual mPm hers for their respective offices, or its pre-eminenc e an d superiority, as a w h o l e, over any of its predecessors.— But it is not only in the unquestionable efficiency of dis tinct departments that Sir R. Peel's Ministry challenges public respect and confidence—it is not that it is illus trated in the one House by the matured wisdom of Wel lington and the brilliant powers of Lyndhurst, or that in the other it commands the sharp energetic in tellect of Stanley, the financial experience and skill of Goulburn, the solid and practical acquirement of Graham--it is not in these respects alone, we repeat, that it possesses the most undoubted claims to respect abroad, and reliance at home, or that it contrasts most favourably with the displaced Cabinet—but in having a real, efficient chief—a First Lord of the Treasury, not in name, but in reality. One of the great faults of the Melbourne Cabinet, and one that gave rise to an immensity of mischief, was, that it was a mere combination of separate and distinct departments. Sir Robert Peel's Ministry will, on the contrary, be not only efficient in its separate provinces, but be per vaded by one intelligence, and informed and guided by one master spirit. Thus , under whatever aspect we may be disposed to view the newly-constructed Cabinet, we cannot fail to find in it the elements of strength, sta bility, and duration. The agricultural interest will re ceive the appointment of his Grace the Duke of Buck ingham to the Privy Seal as a guarantee that in any alte ration that may be deemed requisite in the details of the laws'and machinery regulating the importation of foreign corn, their claims to adequate and reasonable protection will neither be overlooked nor slighted, while the commercial and trading classes will recognise in the President of the Board of Trade a man tech nically conversant with the most complicated opera tions of commerce, and from habit and inclination desi rous of relieving them of all needless restrictions. It would be in us an act of unpardonable impertinence to speak of the exalted legal acquirements which Lord Lyndhurst brings to the Chan ce ll ors hi p, or o f the uni versally-admitte professional eminence of the Attorney and Solicitor Generals. But of all the appointments yet announced, that which promises to be attended with the largest share of beneficial results, is the appointment of Earl de Grey to the Lord Lieutenancy, and of Lord Eliot, to the Secretaryship, of Ireland. More perfectly unob jectionable appointments, or ones that will go further in silencing carping criticism, and di sarm i ng h ost ili ty i t would impossible to imagine ; and we fancy we know enough of the sister country to be assured that neither Mr. O'Connell's violence or virulence will be able to counteract the soothing influence which such appoint ments are calculated to produce on the troubled stream of Irish politics. STANDARD.—Thefirst, if nut the great difficulty of the new Government, is the Exchequer. That difficulty may, we know, be easily overcome in this wealthy country ; but it must be overcome early, or its magnitude will progressively increase, and while it continues it will paralyse the Government. We say that the difficulty may be conquered with comparative ease —and we say so upon the evidence of experience, nctify the financial state rst duty of the effected, we may look forward new Government will be to of the country ; this on provement. to a long course of good government and effectual believe that the mere accession of the Ce dim:. • ....servatives to power will go far towards —dishing the necessity of a very great expenditure, and we are quite sure that it will obviate such occa sional but heavy demands upon the public purse as were made by rebellions In Canada, wars in Syria, Affghithistan, and China , and a rmaments in France. It is Impossible to read the comments of the Paris aournals upon the speech of Sir Robert Peel, without feeling a conviction that already he has done much to diminish a great expenditure, by rendering such an expenditure unnecessary to the honour and safety of the empire. The French people are not much in love with the burthens bequeathed to them by the Whig-Radical Administration of M. Thiers, An assurance at once so respectful and so trust worthy as that of Sir Robert Peel, will soon satisfy them that these burdens have been imposed without any adequate cause, and they will not be slow to consider that they play an unwise game in subjecting themselves to heavy taxes and a grievous conscription, with no more worthy or profitable effect than imposing, though in a lees degree, the same burdens upon a neighbouring peo ple, anxious to live with them upon the most respectful and friendly terms. We hold it to be even in the econo keel view an immense benefit to have at the head of the Government a man whose capacity and firmness all acknowledge, whose sincerity is confidently trusted, and whose love of peace is appreciated by every Govern ment of Europe. Such was not our condition under the rule of Lord Melbourne, and we have now to pay for the effect or submitting to be ruled by one whose name was scarcely known beyond the Channel, and whose highest admitted qualifications, even where he was known, amount to his merits as a good-humoured, careless per son, and " an agreeable diner out." MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS FROM THE MORNING TAPIRS OF YISTIRDAY.) liEltALD.—The commercial advices from Manches• ter and Liverpool to-day are extremely unfavourable. The anticipations under this head yesterday of inure failures in the former plied rite realized. In addition to :the one already regorttiJ ) d.Zebunts of three more failures have been t-ucelved to-day; and of three also in Liver pool, the names of which it is not necessary to mention, as probably some of them may be enabled to restitne business by seasonable arrangements, There is no rea son to doubt now the truth of a statement teceived from a respectable source some time since to the effect that one, if not more l of the Lancashire joint:;stocA banks had been obliged to and hha reetivcd assistance from the 13ank of Ehglatal, and probably only on the express condition of curtailin g their discounts, and calling in their advances. With scarcely more than one exception that of the Manchester and Salford Bank, joint-stock banking appears to have been extremely ill Understood in its principles, and mismanaged with singular indiscre- tion in practice, in the cotton manufacturing districts, TIMES. --The Government Secnritles Were a trifle flatter to-day, not because of the extent of sales, or the delivery of stock, which was made on account of the bargains concluded some few days since, although both these circumstances are said to have had their due weight on the market; but the more prominent cause ascribed is the withdrawinr , of money by capitalists who wish to participate in the profit which is expected to be realized in the approaching negotiation of the French loan. This has made cash scarcer for all purposes, and even at the Stock Exchange it is worth from 41 to 5 per cent., and where accommodation has been pressing, it is under stood 5 per cent. has been actually paid. As compared Ivith the current quotations yesterday, the decline is nearly ono quarter per cent. The accounts, both from Liverpool and Manchester, are such as not to be at all acceptable to the trading interest, as they announce the failure of three or four firms, the principal of which were two houses at Liverpool of some importance. One of these, Messrs. J. Maury and Sons, are engaged largely in the cotton trade, and, having encumbered themselves with too great a stock, and being moreover disappointed of remittances, which, in regular course, should have arrived by the Great Western, are compelled for the present to ask time for the liquidation of their en gagements. Their liabilities are said to amount to upwards of 60,0001., of which 20,000/. are fully secured. Ultimately, it is supposed, no loss will accrue, and the creditors will receive full payment. This house has always maintained a high character. The other Liverpool house, Messrs. Anderson, Gar row, and Co., is connected with the Canada trade, and although it may occasion some little excitement among those engaged in that branch of commerce, it will produce no great effect generally, notwithstanding the firm is ac knowledged to be one of some importance. The Man chester failures are of houses of no eminence, although they comprise a large amount of liabilities. Among the tea speculators in Mincing-lane the publi cation of our telegraphic despatch from Marseilles, ad vising the arrival of the overland mail, with accounts from China to the 20th of May, produced but a momen tary excitement, inasmuch as the news by this source does not give them sufficient data on which to found their operations. Teas during the day fluctuated about Id. per lb., because of the stated determination of the Emperor to resist, that being the only fact the speculators could lay . hold of. CHRONICLE.—The news from China had no influ ence on the value of the public Securities ; the details, however, are looked forway,d to with anxiety. The accounts from Manchester and Liverpool this morning are unsatisfactory. We regret to learn that several houses extensively concerned in business have been obliged to lay a statement of their affairs before their creditors. Business in the Foreign Market has been again con fined to Spanish Actives, in which Stock some consider able purchases were effected. The withdrawal of the Bill for the sale of the Island of Fernando Po is also looked upon favourably, as it was considered an injudici ous scheme, calculated to give rise to a strong opposition in the Cortes, on the ground that it might lead to a par tition of territory. The price asked from the British Government for the Island of Fernando Po was 60,00C1., and it is understood that the Spanish Ministry have con trived means for obtaining that sum elsewhere, which will be remitted to England in payment of interest on the Indemnity Bonds. The Bill authorising a loan of 60,000,000 of reals having passed into a law, it is re ported that the Spanish Government have made impor tant progress towards the final arrangement of obtaining the money, a part of which will be appropriated towards Ow payment of the Three per Cent. interest on the capi talized Coupons. THE FIRST OF SEPTEMBER. On taking the field on the Ist of September, I by no means recommend a very early hour for the commence ment of the business of the day ; neither can I from my own experience recommend that the pursuit shall be given up at ten or eleven in the forenoon, and recom menced at three oa four in the afternoon. Under ordi nary circumstances birds will be found to a certainty in potatoe or turnip fields, to which they immediately re pair from the grass or clover where they have passed the night, two or three hours before they will be met with in stubble. Amongst the loose soil of the pota toe or turnip drills damped with the morning dew, are to be found in abundance the grubs, larvEe and every description of insect food, of which both pheasant and partridge are so iond ; and they do not seek the stub bles until the warmth of the sun has in some measure dissipated the moisture of the preceding- night. On leaving their roosting places they fly in a body to potatoes or turnips, where they are immediately scattered in search of food, and it but rarely hap pens that all the individuals of a covey arc sprung from such fields at the same moment. The careful working of such ground is therefore neces sary. Six o'clock is quite early enough to take the field. On reaching the stubbles, for which half-past eight or nine is the proper hour, the coveys will be found to consist of fewer individuals than the sportsman anticipated, as in all probability some of the members will remain in potatoes till basking time ; and it is by no means an uncommon circumstance for the whole brood to refrain from visiting the corn land until pressed by hunger in the afternoon, when they are no longer able to procure their more favourite food of larvae and in sects, which satisfied their appetites in the morning. No. 7 shot is plenty large enough for partridge in the early part of the season—indeed throughout the year ; larger sizes have their advocates, but one great objection to large shot is, that it tears and mangles the bird much more than small. If it be urged that hares frequently present themselves in partridge-shooting, I can only say that I have ever found No. 7 fully answer the purpose for hares as well as rabbits. Not that I would use it were I going for the express object of shooting hares and rabbits—a larger size is to be preferred for that pur pose.—Old Sporting Magazine for September. LIVING MODELS. (From the Art Union.) • As all artists employed in the delineation of the humane figure must, more or less, require the assistance of living models, I beg leave to recommend to your notice the names, qualifications, and addresses, of some of the most useful now in the profession ; trusting, at the same time, that other artists will take the same trouble in for warding to the Art-Union any information upon this most important accompagnenient de l'atilier. For almost faultless proportion, I should recommend Mrs. Dobson, of 21, Great Titchfield-street ; Miss Glover, 38, Great Wild-street, Lincoln's-inn- fields, about seventeen years of age—a very good face, and much finer figure, fair, with dark-brown hair. Miss Neale, same address as Miss Glover—a very handsome face, and, like her companion, sits for the figure. Miss Lakeman the most beautiful face Leslie ever painted was a faithful portrait of this model. Her residence is at 6, Peashall- place, Cam bridge-terrace, Edgware-road. Margaret Welsh, an Irish peasant girl from the hills of St. Giles's, dark hair, and " wid raal Milasian faatures." Her cabin is at, 21, Southampton -court, Fitzroy-sqaure. Mrs. Musgrove, a very interesting and piquante-looking brunette. The last time I heard of her address it was 9, Hanover-street, Long-acre, living with Mrs. Grubin. Mrs. Howard, 4, Eaton-lane, North Pimlico, a Siddonian figure, good for your tyrannical and sanguinary -minded heroines. There are several other female models whose addresses I have lost. For instance, Miss Clousley, Miss Tuffield, Misses Johns and Lancaster. And th ere i s a f am il y o f chil dren who sit ; their addresses could be obtained from Mrs. Dobson, or, I believe, of the Life Academy, St. Martin's-lane, - bn the list of male models, for strength and muscular development, stands George Glenny ; I should compare him with the Dancing Fawn, having all the youth and elasticity of that figure ; he lives at 8, Den mark-street, Soho—when unemployed professionally, he is to be seen personating a Red Indian at Catlin's Exhi bition, Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly. John Wilton, a " Zummerzet.shire man," but with such a head, face, and beard, as would have rejoiced Salvator. This gen tleman has for some years cultivated his mustachios and his vegetables at the same time (when he does not sit, he digs), of both of which he has a prolific crop. Sir D. Wilkie, speaking of Wilton, said, " This man, Sir, is a maist extraordinar model ; in face, he looks per fec'ly apostolical ;" but an artist from the " isle of the west" said, " Och 1 he's the beau ideal of a rapparee." Charles Landseer introduced his portrait as his "Tired Huntsman ;"and Maclise, as his "Little John ;" he lives at 2, Short-street, Edgware-road. Signor Marchi, an Apollo-like looking fellow, in high request ;he has had the honour of sitting several times to Prince Albert ; and if his Royal Highness does not know what a good model is, who does ? His palazzo stands in Cross street, Hatton-garden, No. 25. R. Sims, a Scotsman, of very great age ; one of the most useful models that could be recommended ; very little idealization is re quisite to p a i nt a perect head of Lear, from this venerable man ; his features are intelligent ; the head bald ; hair white, and reaching to his shoulders ; very long beard and mustachios ' • he has been but a very short ti me in London, and before he was well known, met with a severe accident, being now in the hospital with a broken arm, but he expects to be out in a week •, his address, 13, Hemmitlg's-row, St. Martin's lane. Mr. Ching, a good-looking man, between fifty and sixty, bald-headed, grey hair ; 30, Charlton-street, New-road. John Coulton, 3, Crawford-passage, Clerk enwell, a decayed landscape painter (vide one of Cope's etchings produced at the Etching Society); an old men, with long, dark grey hair. John Eness, of 6, Old Brook's -court, Fitzroy-passage, Fitzroy-market ; this man is ninety-three years of age ! (the late Douglas Cowper introduced his head as Brabantio, in his cele brated picture of " Othello," now in the possession of the .Marquis of Lansdowne); a most excellent model. Emmet, 26, Union-street, Middlesex Hospital, a modern Antinous, much in request; be sits very much at the Royal Academy. M. Decour, a Frenchman of enormous muscular power, from the hips upwards, (the lower extremities are deformed) ; he is a living pocket edition of the Farnesian Hercules : his address could be obtained at the Royal Academy. Watson, 6, Church street, St. Giles, It man of 70, an excellent and patient sitter: At any time, should other names occur to rue, I will do thyself the honour of forwarding them to you. I tim, Sir, your humble servant, A WORKING ARTIST. [The above letter has been postponed for some time for want of room] MATH oir VICE- ADMIRAL FELtoWES.--- , We have to announce the demise of the above venerable naval Commander, who expired on Saturday last, at his re.lidetiCe; near reading, Berks.

Young and Delcambre, of London, are said to have constructed an ingenious machine, which will place the moveable types used in printing, in the same posi tion, with regard to the spelling of words, as they are now placed by the compositor. By means of this ma chine, a column of a newspaper, containing 12,000 types, is composed, including what is technically called " justi fication," and putting into lines, in two hours, which is six hours less than an expert compositor will accomplish the task by hand. A GOOD EXAMPLE.—We heard Mr. Clay in a debate, a day or two since, upon the Loan Bill, re mark, that for 20 or 30 years, neither he nor his wife had owed any man a dollar. • •Both of them, many years gone by, had come to the conclusion, that the best prin ple of economy was this,—" Never to get into debt. To indulge your wants when you were able to do so, and 6, repress them when you are not able to indulge them"— New York Express WINDSOR, SEPT. I.—An accident of an alarm in7 nature took place to-day in the middle and lower ward of Castle. A party had just alighted from an open carriage, and the horses' heads turned towards the town, when they became restive, and kicked and plunged fright fully in the narrow part of the entrance by the Norman gate; at last setting off at full speed, the carriage came in contact with a projecting wall which divides the ruitldle from the lower ward, and the poll, bar, and traces having broken, they were freed from the over turned carriage, and pursued their mad career down the hill towards King Henry the gateway, against which they dashed th emse l ves, and were at once brought to the ground. For a f ew seconds it was thought they were both killed, so violent was the shock ; they are, however; not so much hurt as was expected, nor is the damage done to the carriage -so • great as The . rapid pace, the continuous turning of the road, and the many ob structions liable to be met with in it, would lead us to conclude. Most fortunately the road was free from par ties, and no further accident occurred. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Brighton Gazette.) PORTSMOUTH, SEPT.

OLLERTON, AUG. 25.—The hops in this neighbourhood look very promising, and if the pses en t f a vourable weather continues, there is every probability o f a good crop. The late cold weather materially c hecked their growth, but they are now getting nicely into hop and growing vigorously ; another thing in their favour is, that they have hardly ever been known to be so clean as at present ; there is not the least filth or honey. dew to be seen. The harvest is also progressing favourably ; the crops are generally good, and a great deal has been cut and carried during the last few days. The barley is laid in many places, but if this warm weather continues, will not receive much damage. The wheat .crops are. generally good, and it is supposed will yield an average crop.—Lincoln Gazette.

Mr. Kennedy is a rifle-maker in Kilmarnock, in the county of Ayr, and his Roy al Highness, having heard of his celebrity, ordered a goo to be made by him upon head, most improved principle, re questing that he should deliver itin person, so that his Royal Highness might have the entire nature of its ma' nufacture explained by Mr. Kennedy' himself. Mr. Kew nedy having been introduced by the Linn. Mr. Anson, was received by his Royal Highness in the most unaf fected and courteous manner. His Royal Highness es amined the instrument with every possible minuteness , seemed to be highly interested in Mr. Kennedy's peel' liar variation in the turn of it, and after a lengthened terview, and having obtained every information respect' ing it, condescended not only to express his unqualifle" approbation of the rifle, but to grant to the manufacture' his Royal warrant, appointing him his rifle-maker in Kilmarnock. A very splendid carved table, with a model built from the timber belonging to various parts of lb. Royal George, were this week forwarded to her MO/ jesty at Windsor Castle, by Messrs. E. and E. Emanuel ,. of Portsmouth, and which her Majesty was most grV ciously pleased to signify her pleasure in accepting. EXCURSIONS IN NORMANDY, EDITED BY F• SHOBERL, ESQ.—The publication of this work is mod opportune for our tourists, and a better guide to this iir teresting French province can hardly be required. Thy . New Monthly Magazine observes, " It is a book travels possessed of high pretensions as well as perms" nent interest. The author enters into an elaborate or amination of everything of importance relating to the commerce, agriculture, and manufactures of Normancli , making the sterling information conveyed by his pss the more entertaining by dilating on whatever is mO picturesque in its antiquities, its legends, and its scenerl; in short, comprehending within his scope all that the reader can require to know of the country and its inhv, bitants. After an introduction full of pleasant historic al reminiscences our traveller commences his labours 11 Havre.
