The Times has the effron t ery to say " that the Whigs, NI, ho came into office with the words ' economy and re trenchment' upon their lips, have perpetrated more jobs, created more patronage, and appointed a greater number of new salaried officers than any Tory Minister ever thought of in his wildest dreams." What description of jobs Tory Ministers are in the habit of dreaming of we cannot undertake to say, but of those perpetrated in their sober waking senses, there are fortunately, or rather unfortunately for the pockets of the unhappy tax payers, official records which any one may consult who chooses. In the year 1835 a return was made, dated Treasury Chambers, and signed Thomas F. Freemantle, of pen sions and annuities paid in the course of that year out of the Consolidated Fund. In that return we find, among a long list of pensions, amounting to 510,0861. a year, granted by Tory Administrations, the following names : PENSIONS FOR NAVAL AND MILITARY SERVICES. Earl of Chatham £2.000 PENSIONS FOR CIVIL SERVICES. Right Hon. H. Goulburn £2,500 Right Hon. J. W. Croker 1,500 Right Hon. T. P. Courtenay l,OOO Lord Sidmouth Lord Bexley 3,000 Hon. Jane Carr (late Perceval) Joseph Planta, Esq. Spencer Perceval, Esq. 675 The Countess of Westmeath 923 Earl of Athlone 1,846 Baron Aylmer 553 In the return of sums paid in 1840 to officers of Courts of Justice, we find — Lord Ellenborough, Chief Clerk in the Plea side, Court of Queen's Bench £7,700 0 0 Lord Kenyon and Lord Ellenborough, Custos Brevium 2,089 17 4 The Hon Thomas Kenyon, filacer, &c. Hon. Charles Law, late Clerk of the Rules 1,000 0 0 Among the diplomatic pensions we find— Sir Stratford Canning £1,786 Lord Strangford 2,056 Lord Heytesbury The Right Hon. C. Arbuthnot 2,056 Sir A. Cockburn 1,516 And a long list of other Tory Peers and scions of the aristocracy, who, together, bleed the country to the tune of 198,0821. a-year. The pensions charged on the Civil List and Consoli dated Fund amounted, at the date of the last return, in 1835, to 138,083/. The nature of these pensions is best described by a few specimens picked at hazard from the foul mass of indiscriminate and abandoned jobbery. Drummond, Edward £250 Greville, Algernon Holmes, Thomas Knox 5OO Rae, Dame Mary 660 N.B. These pensions were granted on the 16th No vember, 1830, being the day after the Duke of Welling ton in the House of Lords, and Sir R. Peel in the House of Commons, declared that they had resigned, and only held office till their successors were appointed Arbuthnot, Catherine £l3B Arbuthnot, Jane Arbuthnot, Augusta lOO Brudenell, Augusta Bloomfield, Lord Beaufort, Louisa Catherine Bl Bathurst, Charlotte Ditto, Dec. 31, 1829 lOO Carmarthen, Marchioness of Croker, Rosamond Courtenay, Ann De Roos ' Lady G.

G. A. F. Sydney Tyrconnel, Earl of Ditto ditto Westmeath, Marchioness of 389 If we were not sick of sounding this cess-pool of cor ruption, and impatient to return to a purer atmosphere, we could add names, not by the score, but the hundred, to the catalogue of Tory leeches, fattening on the na tion's blood. But we will conclude with this challenge to the organs and spokesmen of the faction in or out of Parliaoent. Let them, if they can, point out one single public service of the Right Hon. H. Goulburn, of the Right Ho 13. J. C. Herries, of Thomas Knox Holmes, of Lord Sidm ouch, or of one single name among the long list of Tory Ministers, Noblemen, Members of Parlia ment, partis. ins and retainers, who, either by them selves, or thoir relations, are quartered on the pub lic purse. Let us now turn to the doings of the Whigs. We search in vain for the name of one single Member of the Government, of one single Member of Parliament, of one single person of note connected with the party, who, in the event of the Whigs going out of office, will enjoy a. sinecure pension, granted during the ten years they have been in power. Instead of drawing increased salaries, the scale of official salaries, especially those of the higher class, has been greatly - reduced, as appears from the following table : AMOUNT OF REDUCTION IN SALARIES OF 1,000/.

With rep - ird to Commissions, it is sufficient to say that none have be en issued which have not been approved of by the leadi nig men of all parties in Parliament, and which have n. of collected a vast mass of the most valuable information, ,vhich could not have been otherwise ob tained. The appointment of Mr. Frankland Lewis, a political op? meat, to the most important of all the Commissione rships created by , the Whigs, viz., the Chief Poor-12 w Commissionership, is a sufficient a•:swer to the imputation of having jobbed their patronage. We have dwelt more at length than we should have otherwise dm ie upon these facts, because it is most im portant that. the cause of the present deficiency of the revenue al.loti'd be distinctly understood. The increased expenditure h as arisen solely and entirely from the ne cessity of add in; to our naval and military establish ments—a mee ssity which has been admitted to the ful lest extent b y the Duke of Wellington, Sir R. Peel, and every man e f note on the Tory side, who have even gone further, and repeatedly made it a subject of charge against the G overnpaent that they did not spend money enough. The diminu Lion of .the revenue is attributable to two causes :- Ist. That tl to Whigs have relieved the country from an annual burd en of taxation to the amount of 7,000,000/. and upwards. 2d. That th s pernicious effect of monopoly cramps trade, and impe d es the developement of the industry and resources of the country. ~.. . TREAT'S OF COMMERCE BE TWEEN TM 1 NETHERLANDS AND TEXAS.

In such a case the matter will be made the object of a particular convention between the contracting parties.

Sia,--I have perused, in your Journal of yesterday's date, your observations on Lord Willoughby d'gresby's remarks on several articles charged with high protecting duties, gn their importation in this country. Allow me to call your attention to three principal articles, which, although heavily rated, are only nominally so, and, principally, they are for the protection of the agricultural in terest, viz., soap, tallow, and candles , of which their origin consists of tallow , which is heavily charged with a heavy duty, besides the aris e, on the manufactured article, together with the duty on the ashes required to compound the soaps. Ships are built of courep pc !Amber, which article, as is wet known, is heavily burdened with a)q duty, for the protec tion of the landed interest. —I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, A READER OF YOUR JOURNAL.

An inquest was held on Tuesday at Rotherham, on the bodies of the fifty persons who met with so melan choly an end at the launch of a vessel at Rotherham. The Coroner and Jury assembled at the Angel Inn, at two o'clock, and were occupied for four hours in going from one house of woe and desolation to another for the purpose of viewing the bodies. The following evi dence of one of the witnesses shows the precise manner in which the accident happened. Mr. Edwin Cadman, of Pitsmoor, Sheffield, said—The vessel was built by Mr. Chambers, for Henry and Ed win Cadman. Robert Marsh is to be the captain. I was present when the vessel was launched. I saw the launch ; and as the vessel was leaving the stays, about half over on the balance, the parties on board (men and boys) rushed to the leeward side of the vessel to see the effect of its dashing into the water. By that means, the weight of the men and boys to the leeward side caused her to overbalance and to overturn before she reached the water, which was about three feet from the stays. I was standing on a fly-boat in the cut, at the head of the vessel which was launched, and had a good view of it. I had examined the vessel, the ways, and the packings ; and I thought it altogether perfectly safe, having seen vessels launched before from the same yard. I thought it so safe that I was inclined to go on board ; but from an impression among the boat men that it is unlucky for an owner to be on board when a vessel is launched, I was persuaded not to go on board. The men were perfectly sober and quite steady, and conducted the business in the usual manner, and to my satisfaction. By the Jury.—She did not pause till the rush took place. I think she was within eighteen inches of the end of the ways. I considered it to have been entirely accidental. Have seen many boat yards ; and have been on vessels which had to drop six yards or more into the water. The inquest was, after the testimony of several other witnesses had been received, adjourned until Saturday (this day). On Wednesday upwards of forty inter ments took place in the parish churchyard. From nine o'clock in the morning until about six in the evening, the mournful funeral processions were seen approach ing from all parts of the town ; and at four o'clock about twelve coffins were in the church at one time, and these, on being removed therefrom, were met by others on their entrance to the sacred edifice. The church and the churchyard were crowded with spec tators, who evinced by their broken sentences the deep impression which so mournful an event had made upon them. During the greater part of the day the bells, which were muffled, were toll ing the approach of the departed to their last rest ing place, and the solemn sound gave still greater effect to the mournful proceedings. In the afternoon a dumb peal was performed by the Rotheram ringers, as a token of regard for Mr. Samuel Heathcote, joiner for Mr. Bentley, of the brewery, and who had acted for several years as the leader of the ringers, by whom, as well a s by the public generally, he was greatly respected. In order somewhat to alleviate the distress which exists, a subscription has been opened for the poorer class of those who have been bereaved of their friends. Mr. G. W. Chambers, the proprietor of the boat yard where the accident occurrefl, has subscribed 201., and his father, Mr. Chambers, has sent the same sum from London. Mr. Bentley, of Rotherham, has given 10/.. and we understand that about 2001. is already raised for the benevolent purpose. The Rev. Thomas Blackley, the vicar, also kindly offered to inter the whole of the bodies, relinquishing the usual fees.—Abridged from the Doncaster Gazette. CANTERBURY POLITICS:—Two anecdotes connected with Canterbury politics have been communi cated to us, on what we deem good authority, each in structive in its way. The one is, that the Duchess of Northumberland, who was the governess of our gracious Queen, subscribed a large sum (3,0001.) toward the elec tion expanses of the Hon. G. Smythe, in his single contest with Mr. Wilson, a few months since. The second is, that at the recent election, Mr. Bradshaw, the defamer of the Queen, consented to pay Mr. Smythe's share of the expenses of the late contest, as well as his own, on condition that Mr. S. would canvass for and with him, that he might be screened by Mr. S.'s com parative popularity from the consequences of the insults he had dared to utter against the Queen. To this, and this only, was Mr. B. indebted for his meagre majority of nine over Mr. Hodges. This is the last time of Mr. Bradshaw's appearance on the Canterbury hustings. EXMOUTH.—EXTRAORDINARY AND DREAD FUL SUICIDE.—This town was thrown into great con sternation on Friday se'nnight by a report that a private in the 9th Lancers, quartered here during the election in Exeter, had destroyed himself in the most deliberate manner by blowing his brains out with a pistol. The report proved unfortunately too true, and the following are the circumstances of the case :—the deceased, whose name was Terence Shields, was billeted with several of his comrades at Bastin's Globe Inn. They slept in rooms at the top of the house. In the morning the de ceased had been out on parade, and had returned to his sleeping room for the purpose of shifting his parade dress. This was about ten o'clock. One of his comrades was with him for the same purpose, but having changed his dress before the d ecease d, he left the room, and went to the stables. About five minutes afterwards, the report of fire-arms was heard in the room, and an alarm being given, the unfortunate man was found extended on the floor quite dead, half of his face being blown off. An inquest was held on the body by R. H. Aberdein, Esq., on Saturday last, when evidence was given eliciting the above facts. It appeared that the pistol with which the dreadful deed ivas committed belonged to the deceased, and so determined had he been in his purpose, that lie had actually loaded it with, four rounds of ball cartridge. The balls were found lodged in the ceiling with a portion of the scalp of his head. The deceased had betrayed no symptoms of insanity, excepting a slight melancholy, previous to his destroying himself, and one of 'his com rades deposed that five minutes before his death he was perfectly. cool and collected. He was somewhat given to drinking, and had been intoxicated two days pre viously, which circumstance seemed to have preyed on his mind. His sergeant gave him a good character, de scribing him as a quiet inoffensive man. He was twenty four years of age, and not married. After deliberating upwards of four hours, the Jury returned a verdict of Felo de se, and the unhappy man was buried privately the same evening, no funeral service being read over his body.—Plymouth Journal. PIRACY AND MURDER.—The Havre Journal, under head of New Orleans, says:—" The American merchantman Charles, bound to Bordeaux with a cargo of cotton, tobacco, and other goods, was towed to the mouth of the river, and sailed in good condition in company with the Louis XIV., hound for Havre. Two days afterwards a steamer cruising at the mouth Of the Mississippi found the Charles adrift, without a soul on board, her decks stained with pools of blood, and stripped of all her valuables. The steamer towed her back to New Orleans. The general conjecture was that she had been attacked by pirates, who were a cquainted - with the fact of her having shipped several chests of piastres. It is recollected that a few days before her departure eight men engaged to go in her as pas sengers, and it is supposed that it is they who have committed the crime, and afterwards made their escape in the ship's boat either to the shore or to some pirate vessel waiting for them. Every pursuit has been made, but no tidings have as yet been gained. ATTEMPT OF A HUSBAND TO MURDER HIS WIFE.—On Thursday last, between the hours of one and two, great excitement prevailed at Faversham, in conse quence of a journeyman gunsmith, in the employ of Mr. Marshall, attempting to kill his wife by cutting her throat. The weapon used on the occasion was a com mon pocket knife, with which he inflicted a severe gash across the throat, extending from ear to ear. He afterwards attempted his own life with the same weapon. Surgical aid was at immediate command, and the poor woman's wound sowed up. It is stated that the prisoner and his wife have led a miserable life, the prisoner de claring that her temper was a perpetual torment •, whilst his own character is notorious as a common and habitual drunkard. They had been separated for several years ; and had only rejoined each other but a few months. The man whose name is Filbeam, is but slightly in jured. He was taken into custody and examined before the Magistrates on Friday, but the woman not being well enough to appear, the prisoner was remanded. — Kent Herald. FRIGHTFUL ACClDENT.—Yesterday a man man natned William Sale, 44 years of age, was received into St. Bartholomew's Hospital under the following circumstances --It appears that Sale, who was employed by Mr. Board, far mer, of Edmonton, whilst engaged in arranging the reins of the shaft-horse of a heavily laden cart, the animal suddenly plunged and knocked him down, and before he could raise himself from the ground the horses proceeded onward, and the wheels of the Vehicle passed over both his thighs, near Ti n c e a r r . the hip-joints, which were ethahed in a most frightful Lord John Russell was expected on Wednesday at Minto-house, Roxburghshire, on a visit to the Earl of Minto.—Edinburgh Paper. On Monday last a quarrel took place at the Ship beer-house, on the Green, between Robert Bowering and a young man, a sawyer by trade, in the course of which the young man made a violent thru:t at Bowering, and Wil ts hi s thumb pqmpletely forced his eye from the e„oc4et.— Independent.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. OVERTURNING THE TURKISH AMBASSADOR'S CABRIOLET. "7. 0 fnl. Rastrick, private coachman to the Hon. Lady Kinloch , . 1 No. 24, Eaton-place, Belgrave-square, was charged with being drunk, and furiously driving her Ladyship's carriage along the Haymarket on Thursday, at eleven, and running against the cabriolet of his Excellency Chekib Effendi, the 1 urkish Ambassador, which was drawn up in the line of car riages awaiting the close of the Opera. The groom in charge of the cab was thrown out with great violence, and the vehicle was greatly damaged. The defendant was also pitched head foremost off his box, and fell in the carriage-way, to the immi nent peril of sustaining serious injury. The amount of damage done being above the jurisdiction of a Magistrate to award compensation, one of his Excellency's domestics was informed that her Ladyship was liable to make I it good, and could be proceeded against by an action at law. The defendant was fined 40s. for furiously driving, and in default to be committed for fourteen days. EFFECT OF RAILWAYS ON STAGE AND POST-COACHES. —Railways ruin postmasters, say all tlii world. Somerset House tells a different story. The autho rities there have made a return to Parliament, from which we learn that the post-horse duty for the year ending sth Janu ary,-,p 1839, was 9 37 452/. while that for the year ending on the same day in 1841, WILS 212,6351., or but 25,000/. less. Again, the stage-carriage duty for 1838 was U 2,0001., while that for 1840, under a reduced duty, amounted to 407,040/. This is not the first instance by many in winch the popular first-sight estimate of the effect of improvement has been proved by ex perience and figures to be unfounded. In Brussels, previous to the establishment of the Belgic railways, there were but 60 hackney carriages—dm . ? Are now 300. Railway Times. MORNING SUN. SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. W. DAW SON, the ECCENTRIC WESLEYAN PREACHER. There are few persons who concern themselves with the character and operations of the Wesleyan Metho dists, as a numerous body of separatists from the Esta blished Church, who have not heard of the fame of this celebrated and eccentric, but we believe, pious and truly estimable man. Without the advantages of even a common education, but. solely by the force of a vivid imagination, and the energy of a Heaven enkindled zeal for the immortal interests of his fellow-men, pouring itself forth in homely but hear tily-expressed phraseology, he succeeded in attract ing crowds to the chapels in which he preached, and excited an interest in, and produced an effect upon the listening multitude, which the set di scourses of the regular ministers of the body failed to produce. If " Billy Dawson "—the name by which he was gene rally known and often announced—was to be the preacher, or was to be one of the speakers on a mis sionary anniversary, there was no fear of a congrega tion. Hence his services were in constant request when ever there was to be a collection ; and though termed, in the technical phraseology of the Wesleyans, " a local preacher," there was no one of the itinerants whose loco motive powers were more constantly or more willingly in exercise. The professed residence of Mr. Dawson was at Barn bow, near Leeds, where he, for upwards of 30 years, occupied a small farm under Lord Harewood. Mr. Dawson's mode of entering the pulpit was clumsy in the extreme ; he literally blundered into it. His manner in prayer wore the appearance of an irreve rence to which his heart was, we feel assured, a stranger. His addresses to the Deity were colloquial even to vul garity, and deserved the condemnation they often re ceived from the more judicious of his hearers—nor would they have been tolerated in any other but in him who possessed so powerfully the admiration and esteem of the majority of the societies and congregations. In deed, it was utterly in vain for the preachers to endea vour to stem the current of their people's feeling in favour of " Billy Dawson." That minister's piety would have been questioned, and his own hold upon their affections loosened, by so dangerous an experiment. Mr. Dawson was the preacher in whom the poor of the flock delighted—whom the better-educated esteemed for his fervour, and consented to forego their own prefer ence for the better arranged and more correctly-ex pressed sentences of the regular ministers, from a defer s ence to the wishes of the multitude. The following are circumstances which preceded and attended the death of the subject . of these r emar k s . M r . Dawson arrived at Colne on Saturday last, in order to preach the anniversary sermon in the Wesleyan chapel in that place on the following day, according to public an nouncement. On Saturday afternoon he was as cheer ful and apparently as well as usual, and selected the hymns. But how little we know of what will be on the morrow. About three o'clock on Sunday morning, he alarmed the house where he was sojourning by calling for assistance, and said he wanted air ; but the sum mons had arrived—death had received his commission-- and notwithstanding all the help that could be rendered he was a corpse before four o'clock. The medical gen tleman called in at once pronounced the case hopeless. The last sermon Mr. Dawson preached was, we believe, in the St. Alban's Circuit, on Thursday, the Ist instant. Mr. D. was in his 68th year. ST. SAVIOUR'S CHURCH.--A report has pre vailed for some weeks past in the parish of St. Saviour, Southwark, that the noble Gothic tower, which contains a fine-toned peal of twelve bells, the largest, with two or three exceptions, in England, has exhibited signs of giving way, and that cracks of an alarming nature had been discovered in the upper part of the steeple, indi cating a settlement. An architect and a builder have examined this ancient structure, who have given a fa vourable opinion as to its stability. It is said that the removal of the nave, and some part of a buttress or pillar which helped to support the tower, has weakened it ; and the vibration caused by the motion of the bells when ringing (which, however, is not half so great as the vibration of other steeples in London) has tended to decrease the safety of the building. It is to be hoped that prompt and decisive measures will be taken to satisfy the parish and the public at large respecting the condition of this interesting building. MR. JUSTICE BOSANQUET —We regret to state that Mr. Justice Bosanquet, in consequence of in disposition, is unable to go the Home Circuit, which his Lordship had selected. Mr. Serjeant Taddy has been appointed to perform the official duties of the L earne d Judge at the ensuing Assizes, which commence on Wed nesday next. DETERMINED SUICIDE OF A FEMALE.- Thursday morning, between five and six o'clock, an elegantly dressed female, apparently about 22 years of age, threw her self into the river Thames, near Southwark-bridge. A man named Jones saw the act and tried to save her, but before he could reach the spot she sank. NARROW ESCAPE OF THE DOWAGErt COUNTESS OF SCARBOROUGH.—On Tuesday evening, about half-past eight o'clock, as the Dowager Countess of Scarborough was sitting in the back drawing-room of her mansion, No. 14, Portman-square, she heard a noise resembling the cracking of glass. Not knowing what had happened, she called up one of the footmen, who, after a minute search, found a. small hole, of a circular form, in one of the window panes. Nothing more was thought of the occurrence until yesterday morning, when the housemaid discovered, in an arm chair in the apartment, a leaden bullet, about the size of a pea, at the back of the covered curtain. Mr. Pipes, the butler, immediately repaired to the station-house in Marylebone-lane, and had an interview with Inspector Tedman relative to the mysterious affair ; be (the Inspec tor) accompanied him to the house, and having learnt the facts as above stated, a diligent inquiry was instituted in the neighbourhood, when, after much trouble and per severance, it was at length ascertained that a young gentle man, named Bennett, residing at No. 51, George-street, had on the previous evening been amusing himself by firing from the back of the house at some birds with an air pistol, and, from the direction in which he shot at them, there can be no doulet whatever with regard to the bullet having been discharged from the pistol in question. The distance from the spot where the pistol was fired to the Countess's win dow is upwards of 70 yards, and the chair in which the ball was found was placed within a yard and a half of that in which her Ladyship was seated. The pistol, which was manufactured at Lausanne, and is of exquisite workmanship, was up to yester day afternoon in Inspector Tedman's possession. AFFLICTING SUICIDE OF A YOUNG FE maLE._Tuesday Mr. Wakley, and a very intelligent jury, sat at the Laurie Arms, Crawford-street, Bryanston-square. to determine the cause of the death of Sarah Julia Ellis, aged nineteen. Mr. Richard Keene, surgeon, of 72, Craw-. ford-street, said deceased was the daughter of a mechanic of Dartmouth, and lived and cohabited with him. They passed a portion of Monday happily together, and in the night walked out together. On their return home he was called to a labour, which detained him until about two o'clock ou Tuesday morning. When he came back to his own house, he found deceased in a state of excitement from liquor. Ha was angry with her, and reprimanded her. She denied having drunk anything. They then went upstairs, and in their bed room the subject was renewed. He got into bed, and dis covering that he had brought up a bottle of infusion of quassia instead of the water-bottle which stood on the shop counter, be sent deceased for it. She went down for it in perfect good temper, for they had made their quarrel up; however, she was in tears. She returned in six or seven minutes, and as he was in the act of turning round in bed towards her, she said, " 1 hope, nay dear, you will be happy in business ;" and before she had time to say a word more, she fell on him. A glass she had held in her hand fell from her. He lasted its contents, and found it was a mixture of prussic and some other mineral acid. He ran down stairs for some sal vo tatile, which he applied to her mouth, face, chest, and back. She gave three gasps and then died, about half-pastthree o'clock, he had no doubt from the effects of prussic acid. She was excessively passionate when under the influence of ardent spirits. Jane Ellis, aunt to deceased, saw her niece about a fortnight since, when the appeared perfectly well and happy. A month previously she said she would destroy herself if Mr. Keene turned her out of his house. Verdict, " That deceased killed herself with prussic acid, whilst ber mind was labouring under the intoxicating effects of some spirituous liquor." BOROUGH OF MARYLEBONE.—On Thursday a very numerous meeting of influential electors of the borough of Marylebone took place in the rooms of the Reform and Registra tion Association, to consider what steps should be taken to celebrate the victory obtained over the Tories by the return of Sir. B. Hall Bart., and Commodore Sir C. Napier. Mr. Sodden having taken exp l a ined the object of the the chair, Mr. Allen, the secretary, marinLyerryiinnstn: To the working meeting, Mr. Potter eulogised the excellent arrangem d e e n b t t s o w f which To had been made at the late election, and showed the gra titude which the borough owed to the Reform and Registration toga due it had brought into mental in achiev- Association for the excellent mach . operation, a s t o io o n o , m a p n le d te wh a ic v h ie h to a e d y been oer th fa the very zealous support w they recorded for the noble manner in w hich . their and poorer classes of electors cause, and a h n ich elu t al hey me g e a d ve of to pra t i h se e Tory bounden duty to celebrate the their party.—(Hear, bear.) it was day which had emancipated Marylebone, and which had ssffrages in spite of the bribery and intimidation of the haPPY it the foul stain of bei n g re p resen ted by a Tory., e ll a e sedfrom concluded by moving that a public dinner be given to celebrate ie motion. In answer to a question Mr. Allen said the the late event i n the theatre of the Colosseum. Mr. Coo per se conded t.l expense of raising the pit to a level with the stage, and fi tt i ng up the theatre of the Colosseum in an appropriate manner, would be 1001. Mr. Gibson suggested that the Princess's Theatre, in Ox_ ford.street would be the better place, inasmuch as the pit was already covered over for the concerts. Mr. Savage moved an amendment that the festival should take place at White Conduit goose,which, having been seconded by Mr. Clarke, w as negat i ved, 111dthe original resolution was ultimately carried unanimously, and a numerous Committee of gentlemen, and upwards of 200 stewards were appointed to carry it into effect. The meeting then separated. T HE ITALIAN PEASANTRY. —The temper of the lower Italians, their customs, and their morality, pre sent, even in the same persons, contradictions of the most cu rious kind. The impression which the hasty traveller re ceives is almost unavoidably unfavourable. In visiting the northern Lakes, he is surrounded by as mercenary a race as those who inhabit the other show -countries of Europe. From Lombardy to Calabria, if he travels with a display of wealth he is passed from hand to hand through a series of postmasters, postboys, couriers, innkeepers, shopkeepers, and valets-de. place, who successively try which can cheat him most- Inclination or curiosity may unfortunately lead him int. those scenes of debauchery, which, in Italy arc nowhero glaring except at Naples ; and if, on his way to the luxurious city, he happen to be robbed in the Pontine Marshes, his experience of low life is completed. Ane yet his harsh opinion of the people would be utterld unjust. If he were to reside long among them, any mixed familiarly with the labouring classes, either in country or in town, allowing their character room to develop itself, would not be unlikely to commit injustice the opposite way. That class of men who revenge their nation on foreigners by uni versalthough petty spoliation, willnot indeed improve much on farther acquaintance (although even their cheating is oddly limited by a few traditional rules ; ) and the general cha racter can scarcely be estimated fairly in any districts which are much frequented by travellers. But the ob server will discover hones.ty and purity even in the towns ; in the country he will have difficulty in detecting anything else • and every where, when he has contrived to step w i t hi n the line of separation, he will be met with a warmth of heart, an originality and independence of character, a picturesqueness of ideas, and, in several provinces, a marked fertility of wit, which will inspire him with true affection for the fallen nation, and make it no easy task for him to represent their faults clearly either to himself or others.—Edinburgh Cabinet Li. brary, No. XXXI.
