Assuming the sword and Mantle of the Prophet in mere boyhood, he had indulged in excesses to which the institution of marriage, accord lig to the Koran, is but too strong an incentive, and a Premature decay of the very stamina of life has been the consequence.

" Who runs may read." ABROAD. POREMN-COMONZ&Z. Mehemet Ali's acceptance of the Imperial Firman constituting him hereditary Governor of Egypt having been officially communicated to the Ambassadors of the Five Powers at Constantinople, and by them transmit ted to their respective Courts, the New Treaty for main taining the tranquillity of the East, was yesterday - signed at the Foreign-office, Downing-street, by the Plenipo tentiaries of Austria, France, Great Britain, Russia, and Prussia. This resumption by France of her proper place in the Councils of the leading States of Europe is hast ened by the near prospect of the accession of the Tories to office, from whom M. Guizot now knows that France has nothing good to expect. But for the morbid vanity and insufferable self-conceit of M. Thiers, France would have never affected an isolation, which has cost her some hundred of millions of francs, and is now saturat ing with blood the streets of Toulouse and Montauban. The Journal des Debats, the Court organ, rejoices at the near accession of the Tories to office. According to the Debats the Constitution of England is maintained solely by the patriotism of the higher classes. It admits that they bribe, but that once in Parliament they are not a jot the worse patriots for it ! The Presse, M. Mole's journal, contends that a re peal of the Corn laws would give to England the empire of the world, and that the accession of the Tories to office may retard, but cannot long postpone this measure. This is exactly our opinion. The Commerce sees in the insurrections in Turkey the seeds of the dissolution of that Power, and that the may be profitable to France advises a close alliance with Russia, and a separation from the costly and sterile relations which bind her to England. M. Mauguin's visit to St. Petersburgh has produced a sur prising change in the political views of the Commerce. Acconnts from Constantinople of the 23d ult. state that the Sultan is not expected to live. His Highness falls a victim to unlimited indulgence in the pleasures of the Harem. Apprehensions were entertained in the Turkish capital of the massacre by the Turks of the Christian inhabitants of Albania. Admiral Baudin has been appointed Marine Pre fect of Toulon. A charivari, or concert of marrow-bones and cleavers, was given by some hundreds of young men to an unfortunate Benedict near Paris, who suffered himself to be well thrashed by his wife. We trust for the peace of Europe, that the authors of a precedent so alarming to all docile married men, will be so punished as to serve the world for a warning. Bedlam would be a paradise in comparison with the gayest circles of Paris, London, Berlin, and Vienna, were a charivari to await every hen pecked husband in the habit of making the acquaintance of his wife's digits at the wrong end of a poker, once or oftener in the course of twenty-four hours. In a letter from Navalcarnero, in Spain, we find the following account of a singular phenomenon which had occurred there :—" About three o'clock in the after noon of Saturday last, the heat began to be insupport able, and continued increasing until past four, when a horrible tempest arose, accompanied by a shower of stones, which fell with great violence. The country is now reduced to one scene of desolation ; nothing is to be heard but sighs and lamentations. This shower lasted for two hours, at the expiration of which time the country around was thickly covered, and had the appear ance of being buried in snow. All the vineyards and the corn crops are destroyed, and the roofs of the houses beaten in. The misery of the inhabitants is beyond description, and the prospect before them for the en , suing winter most disheartening." AT HOME. rtaxsCELLANEOUS. —A splendid new entrance into Hyde Park is to be built where the Bull public-hoitse now stands, at Knights bridge. It is to be called Albert's gate. The Marquis of Abercorn has taken part of the ground where the Cannon brew. house now stands, to erect a mansion similar to Lord Sefton's, in Belgrave-square. The pavement in front of Whitehall, which is formed of thick wooden blocks, has, we understand, suc ceeded admirably. It would succeed still better if, by any possibility, it could be formed of the wooden heads of the Tory subalterns in the House of Commons. Imagine, for instance, what a fine thick block, capable of resisting the heaviest pressure; the Gallant Member for Lincoln could furnish a Whitehall pavement with ! The head of Peter Borthwick, too, would be worth its weight in lead. , At the half-yearly meeting of the Humane Society held on Tuesday, medallion medals were awarded to Captain Edward Stanley, RN., for saving the life of a boy by jumping into the Surrey Canal in last January ; to Mr. William Downes, for rescuing a young gentleman from a watery grave by jumping off Guildford-bridge, and also for saving five other lives on other occasions ; to Mr. Christopher, at present mate on board her Majesty's ship Blonde, for saving the life of a seaman off the Cape of Good Hope, who fell overboard, he and a few brave seamen lowered the boat on a dark night and during a tempes tuous sea, but after saving the man one of the undaunted crew was washed overboard and drowned ; to Dennis Sinnett, a private in her Majesty's 50th Regiment, for saving an infant off New Holland in December, 1839 ; the mother being sea-sick was leaning over the side of the vessel when the child fell out of her arms, Sinnett instantly jumped into the sea and held up the infant in one hand till the boat came to his assistance at half a mile distance from the vessel. About sixty influential Reformers of the parish of Paddington celebrated the return of Mr. Benjamin Hall and Sir Charles Napier at the Eagle and Vulture Tavern, when the healths of the Liberal electors who returned the Members were drank with great . applause. A tradesman's wife at Peckham has, for a long time, fancied that she has within her " a ravenous rat," and she has lately determined to starve this internal tor mentor to death, by starving herself. Westminster is, at last, following the excellent example of Marylebone, and forming a real Registration Association. Had this been done a year ago Rous would not have rode over this hitherto-independent borough. LAW AND POLXCE. By a recent decision of the Court of Queen's Bench, clergymen of all denominations are allowed to preach in the open air, when they please, provided they do not interrupt the public thoroughfare. Upwards of twenty poor, 'who keep stalls for vend ing fruit and fish in Whitechapel-road, were for this o f fence brought before the Magistrates at Lambeth-street by the police on Tuesday. The obnoxious Act of last Session was urged as the plea for this cruel proceeding. The cases were allowed to stand over for a fortnight. At the Insolvent Debtors' Court, on Tuesday, Mr. Hammond, the actor, was declared entitled to the be nefit of the Act, and ordered to be discharged. • At the same Court an insolvent was sent to prison tiil Monday next, for not appearing at the sitting of the Court. A servant girl was brought before the Magistrate at Bow-street, for attempting to drown herself in the pond in St. James's Park, on Tuesday morning. The reason she gave was, that she had obtained leave of absence on Sunday, and having remained out too late, she was afraid to return, and after wandering the streets till she was faint with hunger, she made up her mind to jump into the water. She received some refreshment and promised to return to her situation. PUIIIIXO OPINION. The Times of yesterday cont a i ns a remarkabletide, the object of which is to recommend tlia importa tion of a cargo of live Bishops into New Zealand, Van Diemen's Laud, Sierra Leone, and such other of our colonies as do not at resent bask in the light of Bpisco cargo is, of course, to be shipped at pacy. This ghos*:,y the public pense—or rather by " voluntuty coutribu tions." Our Contemporary id exceedingly earnest in his recf,mmendation of such a measure, observing, that "in those colcalts which have no Bishop, the Church of Eaghtitti does not exist "—from which we infer that Episcopacy is the essence of all religion, and that with out a Bishop and his staff to tithe its lands, there can be no true piety in a, colony. Our Contemporary acids that a Colonial Church, unblest by the superintendence of a Protestant prelate must be " a mere sickly exotic." It is Episcopacy that lends it health, and vigour, and pleasantness of perfume. Without such a blessing it is a vile weed—with it, it is as sweet and nutritious a vege table as a cauliflower. We trust that if the scheme be persevered in, the Bishop of Exeter will take pity on the benighted natives of Sierra Leone, and at once ship him self off to that colony. The presence of so apostolic a prelate would be invaluable there. The Morning Herald and Morning Post are full of exultations over the prospects of the Tories. The joy of the Herald, however, is somewhat qualified by the ner vous apprehensions of another appeal to the people. Judging from the tenor of our Contemporaries' articles, we should say that the Tory part) bad no very clear or dofinite idea of its position. -;-The Brighton Guardian, speaking the sentiments of ; a hrge and-increasing body of RefOrmers in that town, t considers that before the end . of September Sir B. reel THE SUN, LONDON, THURSD t-Yt JULY lo 1841. will be Prime Minister, " with as full powers as ever Premier enjoyed ;" but doubts whether he will be able to carry on the Government and adhere to his principles." The Cambridge Advertiser, anticipating a speedy split among the Tories, justly remarks :—" The watch word of half the faction in the House will be Down with the New Poor-law !' while the other half, with Peel at their head, will vaunt the excellence and beauty of the measure l" The Dublin Pilot, in an intelligent article on the subject, confidently anticipates a Liberal triumph at Carlow. The same Journal contains a letter from Mr. O'Connell, wherein he observes that Repeal is now the only chance of salvation that Ireland has left. ELECTIONEERING. The undue influence over several electors, which Lord Howick, at the Northumberland hustings, charged Lord Ossulston's party with, appears in another part of The Sun. Lord Ossulston has pledged himself to publish all correspondence bearing on the subject. Mr. Punter, at the West Cornwall hustings, thus spoke of the House of Commons and its Members : The House of Commons may be properly regarded as a grand national inquest, chosen for the purpose of judg ing for the people between the great political leaders of both sides. Too many talkers are found there already. Men of correct judgment are wanted ; the fewer speakers the better." The Tories have already commenced the Peterloo system ; at Hawick, in Scotland, the Lord Lieutenant of Roxburghshire entered the town at the head of a troop of dragoons to put down an electioneering squabble. Some of them rode at the people trampling them down, and among others severely cutting two, one a harmless old man. They rode up to the windows and thrust their swords through them. In less than five minutes after the troops had turned barricades were thrown across the street, and if they had returned they would have been received with fire arms. Will the Tory-Char tists side with their friends in this game ? COURT-rIiSHIOT'ZiMaLES. The King of Prussia has sent a beautiful black horse and mare, as a present, to Prince Albert, which arrived in London on Tuesday. They were forwarded to Windsor, and after the Prince had expressed admiration of their symmetry, he ordered them to the CUmberland Lodge stables. Mr. Hume intends shortly to take a tour with his family in Switzerland and Italy. Her Majesty, it is expected, will honour the Duke and Dualiess of Bedford with a visit at Woburn, on Mon day next. A - meeting to take measures for the erection of a statue to the late Sir David Wilkie will be held in a few weeks. Sir It. Peel will preside. The Duke of Wellington has been invited to meet her Majesty at Woburn Abbey. The marriage of ViScount Villiers and the eldest daughter of Sir R. Peel took place, yesterday, at St• George's Church, Hanover-square. RUMOURS or THE DAY. Mr. Austin has already received one hundred re tainers as counsel for contested elections. The Tories still mean to try to oust Lord John Russell and Sir M. Wood, on the old plea that a poll book was kept back. Mr. Attwood, the twice-rejected during the present election, expects to be yet returned for Kinsale, as Mr. Watson, notwithstanding his long purse (so say the Tories), is not crlified. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY.—The Queen and Prince Al bert took their usual walking exercise this morning, in the new grounds of the Home Park. At five o'clock in the afternoon the Royal Party rode out, taking the road to Frogmore. In the first carriage and four were her Majesty and Prince Albert, and their Majesties the King and Queen of the Belgians. In the second carriage were the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, the Viscountess Palmerston, Madame Van de Weyer, and Baron Bulow, the Prussian Minister (who arrived yes terday). In the third carriage (a pony phaeton), were Lord and Lady Jocelyn ; and in the fourth carriage were the Earl of Fingal and Colonel Buckley. Colonel Bou verie rode on horseback. Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal was taken her usual drive. The Earl and Countess of Surrey, and Lady Mary Howard, and the Right Hon. F. J. and Lady A. Baring, left the Castle to-day. The Queen honoured Mr. W. C. Ross, A.R.A., with sittings for a minature portrait yesterday and to-day ; and the Queen of the Belgians also honoured Mr. Ross with a sitting for her yortrait yesterday. Mr. George E. Anson will have the honour of joining the Royal Circle at the Castle at dinner in the evening. His Majesty the King of the Belgians will, it is ex pected, take his departure from the Castle to-morrow for Woolwich. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge did Mr. Hayter the honour to sit yesterday for her portrait in the picture of her Majesty's marriage. Their Royal Highnesses the Princess Augusta of Cam bridge, and Prince George of Cambridge. attended by Lady Augusta Somerset and Baron Knesebeck, were present yesterday forenoon at the marriage of Miss Peel, daughter of Sir Robert and Lady Peel, with Vis count Villiers, eldest son of the Earl and Countess of Jersey, at St. George's Church, Hanover-square. Their Royal Highnesses afterwards honoured Sir Robert and Lady Peel with their company at the dejeune given at the residence of the Right Hon. Baronet in Whitehall Gardens. _ _ _ The Duke of Sussex had a select party at dinner on Tuesday at his residence in Kensington Palace. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George and the Princess Augusta of Cambridge, attended by Lady Augusta Somerset, and Baron Knesebeck, ho noured the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland with their comvany at dinner yesterday evening, at their residence, Staftord House. His Excellency Andrew Stevenson, the American Minister, transacted business yesterday at the Foreign office and the Home Department. 'Mr. Richard Thornton, Chairman of the Committee of Portuguese Bondholders, transacted business at the Foreign-office yesterday. The. Chancellor of the Exchequer and Lady Arabella Baring returned to town yesterday from a visit to her Majesty at Windsor Castle. FOUR DAYS LATER FROM AMERICA. EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDA Y MORNING, SIX O'CLOCK. We have another arrival this morning from the United States. Cunard's steam ship Columbia, Captain Ju dkins, reached the River, bringing New York Papers of the 30th, Boston of the Ist, and Halifax of the 3 d. She sailed from Halifax at 8 P.M. on the 3d. She brings 110 passengers. By this arrival, we learn that Mr. Clay's Fiscal Bank Bill is making its way very rapidly through Congress. Every possible guard (says one of the Papers) is thrown round it likely to prevent abuses. The number of shares are limited to 2,500. No loan is allowed to be made on the pledge of any public debt. No loan is al lowed to be made to Government over one million of dollars, and to no State over $lOO,OOO, unless under the express sanction of law. The smallest note allowed to be issued by the Bank is $lO, though an effort was made by Mr. Huntington to reduce it to five, but the majority of the body voted it down-21 for and 26 against it. In the House of Representatives a Bill had been re ported to appropriate the , proceeds of the public lands. On these measures the Nog York Herald says :—" It is now generally understood that Congress will adjourn in a month or six weeks—after having es tablished a bank of $30,000.000 —created a national debt of $12,000,000 — and divided among the States about $3,000,000 per an num, the proceeds of the public lands. " These measures will create a great deal of confusion — and perhaps produce a commercial revulsion throughout the country. Of late, the country has been working out its -own salvation, but the new financial system unsettles every thing. It begins a war among the banks and po liticians, that will last twenty years." The discussion on Mr. Floyd's resolution concerning M'Leod, was going on in the House of Representatives, without any probabilty of an immediate conclusion. General Harrison's remains had been removed from Washington. Major-General Macomb, Commander-in -Chief, died suddenly on Friday, June 25th, at Washington, from a fit of apoplexy. He was born in Michigan on the 3d of April, 1782, and was consequently in the 60th year of his age. He was in his usual health up to the day preceding his death. On Wednesday last he called on Fenderich, the artist, to purchase one of his ex cellent likenesses of President Tyler. The artist in quired why the General had never sat for his por trait. He replied, " Suppose you take me now ?" General Macomb acceded to the proposition, and the artist had a sitting immediately. On Thursday he had another, and on Friday the General was a corpse. Both Houses of Congress, the President, and all the great officers of State attended the funeral of the General.

COMMERCE AND NAVIGATION OF THE UNITED STATES.—From the annual statement of the commerce and navigation of the United States, communicated to the Senate by the Secretary of the Treasury, we learn that the imports during the year 1840 amounted to 107,141,519 dollars, of which there were imported in American vessels 92,802,35 2 , and in foreign vessels 14,339,167 dollars. The exports during the same year amounted to 132,085,940 dollars, of which 113,895,634 dollars were of domestic, and 18,190,312 dollars of foreign articles. Of domestic articles, 92,030,898 dollars were exported in American vessels, and 21,864,736 dollars in foreign vessels. Of the foreign articles, 13,591,359 dollars were exported in American vessels, and 4,598,953 dollars it foreign vessels. SHIPPING. During the same year 1,576,946 tons of American shipping entered, and 1,646,000 tops cleared from the ports of the United States. Of foreign shipping 712,363 tons entered, and 706,484 tons cleared during the same period. DISTRICT TONNAGE.

A train of powder was laid, communicating with the library, and had it not been for the vigilant exertions of a tutor and a professor, the valuable library, containing upwards of 450,000 vo lumes, exclusive of duplicates, would have been totally destroyed. A great excitement prevails among the students to dis cover the authors of this atrocious deed, and we hear that the officers of the University a re determined to sift the matter to the bottom, and bring it before the Grand Jury, although the penalty is but five years' imprison ment in the State Prison. PIRATES SOUTH.—The southern papers still insist that there are organized bands of pirates and robbers along the coast. It is thought by some that a mystery hangs on the fate of the Three Friends, of St. Joseph, which was supposed to be wrecked and sunk a few months ago, off the harbour of Pensacol. There are believed to be good grounds for suspecting that those on board did not ' come fairly to their end. The loss of the Three Friends was the beginning of a series of robberies, boat stealing, and mysterious assemblages of armed mariners at diffe rent places.

KtsosTos, JUNE 24, 1831.—During the debate on the Aidress, in reply to the speech from the throne, the Union Bill was the chief bone of contention. One of the resolutions was equivalent to a sanction of the House to it, in all its details ; and expressed a warm conviction that, under its provisions, peace and prosperity would be restored. This was lustily opposed, and Mr. Baldwin, the ex-Solicitor-General, offered a re solution to the effect that, although they were in favour of and willing to try the Union Bill, they had no hope of any such result from its present provisions. This was rejected. A Mr. Merritt, a cute Yankee, who looks after number one with peculiar shrewdness, then moved an amendment that left the House at libertx to modify the Bill at any further day when the discussion of it came before it. This was carried by a large majority against Ministers, and the Radicals rejoiced in a triumph. It was short-lived, however. During the night the waverers were tampered with. It was evident they did not see that the motion carried was tantamount to a con demnation of the Bill ; and presented, at the very threshold, a stumbling block in the path of his Excel lency. Next day they voted directly in the teeth of their motion, and left the modification of the details of the Bill to experience hereafter. It is thus the Ministry propose to proceed and carry all before them by superior cunning and tact. It was moved and carried that the address be pre sented by the whole House to his Excellency, and to day about fifty Members, headed by the Speaker, pro ceeded to Alwint3n House, to carry the motion into effect. The Speaker read the address, and his Lord ship read and then handed him a very short reply, and thus ended the labours of twelve days legislation of the United Parliament of United Canada. .... As I wrote you before, the promised loan of a million and a half has a wonderful effect. _ _ _ Madame Rumour—a dame whose authority is some times doubtful, although, in this instance, I believe good—states positively that Charles Poulett, Lord Sydenham, in regard to the softer sex, is very sus ceptible ! very susceptible indeed ! To be sure he is a bachelor, but that is no contradiction—as he is an admirer of variety, and delights therein. Some bolder spirits go Maher, and say, that 'he has been the slave of the ladies through life ; and considering the transitory nature of his tastes—his wanness, his bilious ness, his goutiness, and his emaciation are not to be wondered at. If he don't look out, and betake himself to a permanent establishment, in the shape of a perma nent wife, his blushing honours, just budding into life, will die before they reach maturity. It is scandalous to say so, I know, yet the same authority quoted above will have it, that many of the Members who attended with the address went from a curiosity to see a certain Jane and her co-mate. Statesmen are very moral men— very ! But such things are minor matters, of course! and seeing that Lord Sydenham is liberal, why it would be very illiberal to curtail his pleasures—very ! I, for one, must respond to such sentiments ; and although neither a Methodist, a Churchman, nor a Kirkman, which sects disturb the peace here, I must say, in re gard to his Lordship, it is best to throw a veil over all such trifles—their exposure cannot do any good, any how. The fortifications at Point Henry, near Kingston, are to be carried on immediately on a large scale. And we have it on good authority that the projected defences of Kingston are about to be immediately commenced on an extensive scale—thus already realizing some of the pro mises contained in the speech of the Governor-General at the opening of the present session of Parliament.

His Excellency Governor Davis. THE WILLIAM BROWN. The Post of this morning contains the statement of John Messer, one of the seamen of the William Brown, who was saved in the long-boat. His description of the horrible scene enacted in the boat does not tend to re lieve the mate from any of the odium which public opinion has placed upon him for his barbarous treat ment of the unfortunate passengers. After describing the loss of the ship, &c., and the embarkation of a por tion of the passengers, he goes on as follows Before leaving us, the captain addressed the boat's crew encouragingly, desired us to keep our hearts up, not to quarrel or fight among ourselves, but to be ad viied by the mate, and to do what he should desire us. He then bid us good bye, and in fifteen minutes or so was out of sight. During the whole of the day the weather was ex tremely cold, and the sea very rough. We rigged a drag with our oars in order to keep the boat's head to the sea, and to break the force of the waves. Towards night-fall the mate consulted in a low voice, with several of the crew, about lightening the boat. I was aft at the time, with my back against the stern. At last he said to me and another man , who was near me, " Well, I suppose you have no objections to lending us a ha nd to lighten the boat? I inquired how he intended to do so? and while I was speaking I heard a splash alceigside, and the whole boat was in an uproar—the work of death had commenced. The other man and myself both remon strated against such cold-blooded proceedings, and said —" If we are to die, let us die fair—let us cast lots." " Very well," said the mate, " they will throw you overboard next." I then drew my sheath knife, and swore that whoever should lay a hand on me should share my fate. The mate then called a tall negro, one of the crew, aft, to toss me overboard, but when he saw my knife, he went forward again and lent the others a hand. My companion stuck close to me during the whole of the heartrending scene, determined to defend himself to the last. One old man, a native of Ireland, when about to be seized, fell upon his knees and entreated them to spare his life, and he would give them all he had. He then drew from his purse a number of sovereigns, and offered them to the crow, but they were thrown aside and himself thrown overboard. A lad about 18 years of age requested time to say his prayers, and when he concluded, he said "I am now prepared—l do not wish you to throw me overboard—•l will go myself," and he stepped off the gunwale of the boat into the sea. Of all who were thrown overboard, not one, to my know ledge, succeeded in getting on board ag ain. There were no hands cut off nor any blood spilt ; neither did any one, except the young man already mentioned, jump overboard voluntarily. The unfortunate passenger s offered no resistance — prayers and entreaties were a ll they used. " Oh, spare me spare me r' several of them cried, even while they were half overboard. I will not attempt a description of this awful scene—it would melt a heart of stone. I believe there were sixteen thrown overboard. The boat was baled ou t after she had been lightened The ; she then rode very well, and made had b ee water. following morning I discovered a sail, and God commun you're icated the fact to the mat e, who said—" By , Jack, a lucky fellow ; y ou have saved your life." The ship that picked us up , as is already known, was the Crescent. So strong was my indignation against the negro, that, unln reachinz the Crescent's deck, I seized a heaver and threw it at his head. All of the cre w in the boat, excepting the mate and another man, were foreigners, or as sailors say, Dutch men, that is, men belonging to the continent of Europe. Upon our arrival at Havre in the Ville de Lyon, the American Consul, when made acquainted with the facts, advised me and my companion to remain and give our evidence against the mate and crew ; but we declined upon the ground that we conceived the testimony of the passengers sufficient. As he was not very urgent, we were liberated, after an examination before the Board of Police. Af te r my health was somewhat recruited, I shipped on board the Angelo, Captain Jaques, bound to New , bury Port, w here I arrived on Wednesday last. I arrived in Boston on Thursday, and hate made this statement for the information of the public. • JOHN MESSER, Seaman. - —Boston Mercantile Journal. and There are sixteen insane Hospitals in the United states , accommodating about 1,700 patients.

Never was man better qualified, , by habit and the peculiar structure of his mind, for the task of a Reviewer, than Mr. Macaulay. Quick—lively ardent—argumentative when argument is re quired—eloquent 'when an impression is to be made by mere force and splendour of style— subtle and ingenious, if not profound or original, as a thinker—and abounding in that sort of infor mation which is most likely to take with the gene rality of readers; —the Right Hon. Gentleman possesses every requisite, except wit, necessary to constitute an accomplished periodical essayist. His memory, too, which in some degree supplies the place of fancy, is strong to retain every im pression that has once been made on it, so that he is never at a loss, even when busied with the most unpromising themes, for lively, apt allusion and illustration. The variety of the sources from which he gathers his materials is indeed ex traordinary. The poets, sophists, and historians of Greece and Rome; the writers of France and Italy; the dramatists, essayists, metaphysicians, divines, and wits of our Elizabethan and Augus tan ages; the Arabian and Persian story-tellers ; the Spanish romancers; the Byzantine chroni clers; and those long-winded prosers, the early Fathers of the CatholicChurch;—all are ransacked to supply Mr. Macaulay with striking points and ingenious illustrations. Hence his pages glitter at times like a constellation, and as his chief ambition seems to be to dazzle and astonish, rather than to convince, he rarely misses his mark. Gene rally speaking, his Reviews consist of a suc cession of brilliant and effective passages, now of a descriptive, now of a dramatic, and now of a metaphysical character, thrown together without much method or arrangement ; exhibit ina no traces of a severe or continuous process of thought; no patient working out of favourite ideas and principles ; but keeping, nevertheless, the reader's mind in a constant state of excite ment. Of such a sort is the article entitled " The Port-Royalists," which stands first in the present Number, and which we have no hesita tion in ascribing to the Right Hon. Gentleman's pen. It is an account, in sketch,.of the founders of the well-known Abbey of Port Royal ; and though rambling and desultory to a degree, and exhibiting a bold contempt for all chronological arrang , Tment, possesses the enchaining interest of a Scotch novel—so picturesque are its de scriptions; so vivid its outlines of character, which remind us of some of Retsch's etchings from Faust; and so agreeably does its style al ternate between epigram and amplification. The celebrated Cornelius Jansen of course occupies a niche in this temple which the Reviewer has erected to the honour and glory of the Port- Royalists ; but instead of entering into a detailed statement of this religious Reformer's creed, he might have contented himself with telling us in one word, that it was neither more nor less than Methodism. Jansen was the Wesley—or rather Whitfield—of his day. He held that the ma jority of the human race were born for no other purpose than to be damned, and that the select Few only were destined to salva tion. This unsocial creed did not suit the more pliant and orthodox divines of France, so a paper war was commenced against Jansenism, which lasted for seventy years, and gave abundant em ployment to all the wits, satirists, and historians of the time. In Voltaire's tales there are, if we remember rightly, several sarcastic hits at the followers of the great Cornelius. Of the well known Madame de Maintenon, Mr. Macaulay furnishes us en passant with a very graphic sketch, which, though on the whole condemna tory, might have been more severely so with propriety. To say that she was a narrow-minded prude, is not saying enough. She was a canting, heartless hypocrite; ever most intriguing when apparently most frank and candid; concealing an insatiable thirst for power under an affected show of moderation ; and professing extreme dis interestedness when she was at heart the most selfish of upstarts. Of all the mistresses of the Grande Monarque—and their name is Legion— this woman is the most unamiable. Compared with her, poorLaValliere is aparagon of purity; and even the haughty De Montespan shows white as snow beside her. It was our lot to wade through her Correspondence, some two years since, and never was seen such a specimen of dull, petty, canting common-place ! That Louis was duped by such a woman, proves not her quick-wittedness, but his mental imbecility. As a specimen of Mr. Macaulay's graphic and picturesque style, we quote his account of a projected attack on the Abbey of Port Royal, about the commencement of the wars of the Fronde—the character of which wars, by the by he defines with the hap piest accuracy : Guided by such pastors, the Port-Royalists were fol lowing out a progress more tranquil than that of John Bunyan's Pilgrim, when the wars of the Fronde rudely scattered the shepherd and the flock. Moss of the nuns fled for refuge to Paris, but the recluses (they were Frenchmen still) appeared three htmdred strong, in de fence of their sequestered valley. Above their hair sr,rts glittered coats-of-mail. As the last notes of the aot h e ,:n died away, the trumpet summoned the worship pers to ilitary exercises. Spears and helmets flashed through th.' woods—plumes waved over many a fur rowed brow—otrenchtnents, which may still be traced, were thrown up ; and the evening gun, the watchword, and the heavy tread pf cavalry, broke a silence till then undisturbed, except by ° the monastic choir, or the half uttered prayer of some Ic.nely penitent. De Sericourt felt once again his pulse beat high as he drew out the martial column, and raised the Long-forgotten words of peremptory command. But ere loo' a voice more sub dued, though not less peremptory, wan heard to silence his. De Saci's heart mourned over this reliance on an arm of flesh. Watching the first pause the new en thusiasm of his associates, he implored them P 3 lay aside their weapons ; and in long-suffering to suboi . t them selves and their cause to the Supreme Disposer of events. t an instant the whole aspect of Port-Royal was changed. Students returned to their books, penitents to their cells, and handicraftsmen to their ordinary labours. It was a change as sudden and as complete as when, at the bidding of the Genius, the crowded bridge and the rushing river disappeared from the eyes of Mirza, leaving before him nothing but the long hollow Valley of Bagdad, with oxen, sheep, and camels grazing on the sides of it. "Cecil and De Clifford" is a commendatory notice of two novels that have lately attracted considerable attention. The Reviewer attributes the former to the sprightly pen of Mrs. Gore, but we can scarely credit that she could have written it, for the keen insight into the inner heart of man that " Cecil " exhibits in its more serious scenes, could not have been attained by a woman. That she may have assisted in the composition, is likely enough, but we cannot bring ourselves to believe that she was the sole. authoress. Judging from one or two marked peculiarities of manner, we feel strongly disposed to assign the notice of the " Colman Family" to Mr. Leigh Hunt. It is lightly and spiritedly written, but we have rather too much of the Bonnell Thorntons, Lloyds, Churchills, and other contemporaries of the elder Colman, not one of whom is now remembered, with the ex ception, perhaps, of Churchill. And even his is no enviable notoriety. He has come down to us, not as a poet, but as a coarse, vigorous, ill natured satirist, who is more remarkable for force of style than strength of thought. His best work is his " Rosciad," and even this would be sorry enough, if it were not for the apt and pointed sketch of Mossop. We cordially agree with the Reviewer in his estimate of Colman "the Younger "—as he styled himself at the very juvenile age of seventy, He was a genuine humourist, but his senti ment was mere maudlin drivel, without an atom o f h eart i n it; and his attempts at a high tragic flight were still m ore deplorable. All that is sterling in his "Iron Chest" is directly borrowed from " Caleb Williams ;" but his "Mountaineers" being mere noisy rant throughout, is, we presume, his own. His best play is his "John Bull." T was a hit between wi n d and w a ter —a succe ss ful s aim at the bull's eye—and dexterously chimed in with the feelings and prejudices of the national character at the period when it was written. In the notice of " Swinburne on the Courts of Europe," the Reviewer, we are glad to see, does justice to th e memory of the unfortunate Marie Antoinette, whose reputation has passed through the furnace of calumny, seven times heated, and come out unharmed. Indiscreet she was, fond of pleasure,_ and too prone fo meddle with affairs of State ; but she had no worse failings; and when we call to mind her rare magnanimity, her heroic determination of pur pose, and the calm, undaunted front shebitterest op posed to her enemies in the hour of her _ _ sue _ adversity, we can pardon these, or ahun t d o red in le t! . trivial blemishes.

" Grounds and Objects of the Budget" is sound in its argument, but somewhat too tame and whining in its spirit. At a crisis like the pre sent, the Reviewer should have spoken out more boldly. When a cause is urgent, and. its issue doubtful,a lukewarm advocate does it more harm than good. " The late Lord Holland" is a kindly and respectful tribute to the memory of a gene rous, tolerant, public-spirited Nobleman, who rarely made an acquaintance that he did not im mediately convert into a fast friend. Our readers) will, no doubt, be pleased with this eloquent de scription of Holland House, andits late illus trious owner : The time is coming when, perhaps, a few old men, the last survivors of our generation, will in vain seek, amidst new streets, and squares, and railway stations, for the site of that dwelling which was in their youth the fa vourite resort of wits and beauties—of painters and poets —of scholars, philosophers, and statesmen. They will then remember, with strange tenderness, many objects once familiar to them—the avenue and the terrace, the busts and the paintings ; the carving, the grotesque gild ing, and the enigmatical mottoes. With peculiar fond ness, they will recal that venerable chamber, in which all the antique gravity of a college library was so singularly blended with all that female grace and wit could devise to embellish a drawing-room. They will recollect, not unmoved, those shelves loaded with the varied learning of many lands and many ages ; those portraits in which were preserved the features of the best and wisest English men of two generations. They will recollect how many men who have guided the politics of Europe—who have moved great assemblies by reason and eloquence—who have put life into bronze and canvass, or who have left to posterity things so written as it shall not willingly let them die— were there mixed with all that was loveliest and gayest in the society of the most splendid of capitals. They will remember the singular character which belonged to that circle, in which every talent and accomplishment, every art and science had its place. They will remember how the last debate was discussed in one porner, and the last comedy of Scribe in another ; whil Wilkie gazed with modest admiration on Reynolds Baretti ; while Mackintosh turned over Thomas Aquinas to verify a quotation ; while Talleyrand related his conversations with Barras at the Luxemburg, or his ride with Lannes over the field of Austerlitz. They will remember, above all, the grace—and the kindness, far more admirable than grace—with which the princely hospitality of that an cient mansion was dispensed. They will remember the venerable and benignant countenance, and the cordial voice of him who bade them welcome. They will remember that temper which years of pain, of sickness, of lameness, or confinement, seemed only to make sweeter and sweeter ; and that frank politeness which at once relieved all the embarrassment of the youngest and most timid writer or artist, who found himself for the first time among Am bassadors and Earls. DUTCH AND GERMAN MAIL. BATAVIA, MARCH 18.—Accounts from Padang, of the 26th of February, say that on the 24th a rising had taken place, which appeared to be of a serious nature. The Regent of Balips was at the head of it. Fort Goeque Maetentang, which had a full garrison, Fort Koch, and the camp of Padang-Riloe, were attacked at the same time. Colonel Michiel, Governor of the west coast of Sumatra, was preparing to set out with the troops in Padang for the upper country. The ship Eagle has brought the intelligence that Colonel Michiel had succeeded in quelling the insurrection in a few days. A later account from Colonel Michiel brings the im portant news that Kalic Roaja, formerly Governor of Balips, has been taken prisoner and brought to Padang, and the state of things in the upper part of Padang was so favourable that there was every reason to hope that order will shortly be restored. ALEXANDRIA, JUNE 9.—Saib Mulib Effendi is to re turn in a few days on board the Nile steamer, to Con stantinople, and to take five millions of piastres, as part of the tribute. It is affirmed that the Pacha has offered an annual tribute of two millions of dollars, if he is left at liberty with respect to his internal administration, otherwise he will pay only one million. The day before yesterday about four hundred Egyp tians returned from Constantinople, who either deserted or were taken prisoners in Syria. They were imme diately restored, and though isthe Sultan's order. was that they should return to their homes, it probable that they sooner or later be incorporated in the army. Many more are to follow.—Allgememc Zeitung, June 9. DUTCH FUNDS.—AmairiißoAlit, JULY 12 None,. Bins. Actual Debt, 1 234 per Cent .....».«.....» 513(, b 2 Ditto. ditto 5 per cent.

Having promised Sir James Duke, he was induced to sell his vote to the Tories. This expulsion is right : it ought to be followed out, and the like punishment awarded 'to rich members, who either vote on the dicta tion of their customers, or refuse to vote at all, for fear of offending them. The crime is equal morally, and we suppose that is the view taken of this delinquency by a religious body.—Lincoln Gazette. The New Orleans Papers relate the following almost incredible occurrence :—On the 14th instant, at night, they say, a white woman gave birth to an infant in a car, on the Pontchartrain Railroad. She threw the child out, as the cars were going down to the lake, op posite to an hospital kept by a Dr. Lutzenburg ; and be lieving, as she says, that it was dead, continued on her journey. The child was found alive and well ! at five o'clock on the followinc , Tuesday morning and taken into the hospital, where a save of the doctor's performed th e duties of a mother towards it. On the same day (Tuesday) at half-past 11 o'clock A.M., the mother was arrested by the Third Municipality police of New Orleans, and at one o'clock she was sent to the hospital to give that nourishment and succour to her infant which nature should prompt her to have done, but whom she so un naturally deserted. The "young 'un," it is added._ is a fine healthy boy, and yesterday they were both doing well. The mother received no assistance during her travail ; and the child withstood the assaults of the mos quitoes, the effects of the night air, and the other con tingent inconveniences of a night in the woods, in a man ner that would have done credit to a squatter more inured no to hardshinjuryips.Even than the to leave fall from the carriage did him a small blue mark on his forehead.—New York Courier, MORNINI; SUN.. a MIR 'Olll ent, the way no pe 9 9 ered city wrg In 3 lOth tlei . , by ,lace sin' ne at K i to e , of eigh 0 w ith c' n One sO 5 de hi,•ll ince the'. 156 . i• l6 Ol d
