Thus. the sense of the great seminaries of British learn ing and piety was manifested against the Ministerial project—not by any more relative quantity of votes, but by the unanimous voice of their ten Representatives. The feeling of the landed interest —the prime commoners, owning and cultivating the soil, gi%ing life to agriculture, and affording the best market for the consump tion of the manufactures produced by the industrial capital and community of the United Kingdom —was declared to be hostile to the Bill by a majority of 96, the proportion of this body who voted against, over those who voted for the measure, being about 62 per cent. (137 to 41); and, including the University Representatives, hostile by a majority of 106, or about 68 per cent. against. CORN LAWS. (From the Morning Chronicle.) We have elsewhere inserted a report of a meeting at Stockport, on Monday last, of a Deputation of the National Anti-Corn-law League and the electors of that borough. The movement on the subject of free trade is now general throughout the country. The belief prevails that the time is come when a great blow may be struck for liberating our commerce from the thraldom under which it suffers. The landowners of this country have shamefully abused the le. gislative power in their hands, by 'giving to themselves a monopoly of food. Laws imposing taxes, not for purposes of revenue, but to enable one class to plunder the other classes, are an abomination in the sight of God and man. These laws must be repealed. The people have long submitted patiently to the injustice; laxt patience has its limits. It is only necessary that the people should pull to gether to enable them to force their opponents to terms. Of all classes in the community, the one for which every thing is done is precisely that which is of the least importance. A branch of industry may decay, and the community may suffer greatly in consequence. But there can be no danger of a want of persons to take that share of the produce of the soil which remains after the profits of capital and the expenses of cultivation have been cleared—namely, the rent. Fortunately for this class, in a country densely peopled, from which manufactures are largely ex. ported, the price of food must be higher than in other countries; and would they be contented with their good fortune, without seek ing to add to these advantages by means which threaten to cut up the prosperity of the nation by the roots, no one would repine at it. The people of this country know that property must be respected, and that though the class which lives on rents, is the least import ant in an economical sense, still there must be a class of consumers of rents. But it is one thing to acquiesce in arrangements spring ing out of a just regard for property, and another thing to allow the class of landowners to oppress the other industrious classes, by imposing on them, in addition to their fair share of taxes to the State, a heavy tax through a monopoly of food. We would wish to see all classes of the community living in peace and harmony together : but the oppressed and the oppressors, from the very nature of things, must hate each other. At this present moment, the industrious classes do generally view the landowners in tire light of men who have abused their trust—of spoilers of their fellow.citizens—of authors of the diseases engendered by fa mine, which scourge our cities and towns. There is not a reflect ing man who witnesses the appalling destitution in Manchester, Glasgow, Leeds, Dundee, and Paisley, who does not exclaim— This is the work of our landowners. It is time that an endeavour should be made to propitiate the people by a return to justice. It is only the bankrupt landowners who can have anything to fear from the termination of the monopoly. Mr. Cobden. of Manchester, spoke a language which will sink deep into the hearts of the people, when he exclaimed— " But what say our governors—what say the very men who have imposed this law, and maintain this law, when the question affects not the bread of the people but articles which minister to their own comforts or their own luxuries? Do they forego one single good to be found on the face of the the earth itself ? Do they allow any argument which prevents you being fed with the grain of Russia to prevent them bringing furs from Russia to clothe their skins in the winter season ?—(Applause.) Go to the Mediterranean, and touch at any of the ports ; ask what it is that that port exports ; seek out the very best quality of that article; inquire its destination, and you will be told it is going to London. Go to Oporto, and seek out the very best brands of wine ; inquire whither it is destined ; the answer is, for London—for the English aristocracy. Go a little further, to Malaga, a great fruit country : and ask for whom are those de licate grapes and raisins, and wines, all packed up with the greatest care, intended ? They are for the London market.—(Hear, hear, and applause.) Go a little further to Genoa; wo find them there manufacturing an article called macaroni, which is nothing more than very fine wheaten flour prepared and made up in a particular way—it is designed for Lon don ; Jar the English aristocracy. If you drop in at Smyrna, which is celebrated for its figs, or go to any of tire other ports of the Levant, or ascend to the top of the Alps, where the cheese is being prepared by the Swiss shepherd, and ask the destination of the best of everything—you will be told it is London. But if you go a little further, and enter on the extensive plains of Russia, you will see wide-spreading corn fields waving with beautiful grain ; you will see boors clothed in sheep skins turning pigs into the field, to eat up the corn ; and if you ask, why this is not going to England to feed the poor, you will be told that there is a law passed by the English aristocracy to prevent it."—(Loud applause.) If the aristocracy think they are strong enough to be able to despise these accusations, they commit a grievous mistake. No class of men can afford to be held up as authors of injustice, of the destitution which tills our gaols with wretches driven to steal for subsistence, and our hospitals with the victims of disease. We warn the aristocracy of their danger. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM TIM MORNING PAPERS OF FRIDAY. CHRONICLE.—It was generally understood yesterday that Ministers would be able to protect the franchises of the people of Ireland against Lori., Stanley's assault, and that the majority would be something about the amount now ascertained by the divi sion. The funds, therefore, have not been influenced by the re sult ; and the slight change which has taken place may be attri buted to the renewed rumours of a French loan, consequent upon the expected passing of the Fortification Bill in the Chamber of Peers, and to the settlement of a heavy Bull atcount which took place yesterday. The Continental exchanges were again some what higher ; but the improvement seems to have been produced mere by a tightness of money thaorby an increase of business. There was rather more business doing in the Share Market to day ; but prices have not varied materially. Great Westerns were a shade lower. A document of great importance to those interested in trade and navigation has been prepared and laid before Parliament by Mr. Porter, in charge of the statistical department of the Board of Trade, giving an account 1. Of the imports into the United Kingdom of the principal ar ticles of foreign and colonial merchandise, of the consumption of such articles, and of the Custom duties received thereon in the year ending the sth of January, 1841, compared with the im ports, consumption, and receipts of the preceding year ending the sth of January, 1840. 2. Au account of the exports of the principal articles of foreign and colonial merchandise, in the year ending the sth of !January, 1841, compared with those of the preceding year. 3. An account of the exports of British and Irish produce and manufactures for the said two comparative years. 4. An account of the produce of the Custom duties of the United Kingdom for the same two years. 5. An enumeration of the number of vessels, with their res pective tonnage, distinguishing the countries to which they be. longed, entered inwards and cleared outwards, for the year end ing the sth of Jannary, 1841, compared with the entries and clearances for the preceding year; exclusively of vessels in bal last and of those employed in the coasting trade between Great Britain and Ireland. 6. A similar enumerative table of vessels employed in the coast ing trade of the United Kingdom for the said two years. It will be seen by the above returns that the quantity of foreign wheat imported in 1839, to make up for the deficient harvest of 1838, was 2,634,557 quarters, which, calculated at an average of 60s. per quarter, gives 7,903,6711. as the price, which may be said to have been paid to foreigners in hard bullion. The duty received on that amount was only 631,6981., while for less than two mil lions of quarters the duty received last year was 725,0451. The duty on raw silk shows an increase for last year of 2,000/. ; and that of manufactured silk has also improved nearly to the same amount. The India silk trade exhibits a serious falling off; the duty having diminished from 17,0001. to 13,0001. The sugar duties also haye decreased considerably. The import of East India sugar is less last year than the year preceding, but the quantity entered for home consumption is greater, and the amount of duty received proportionably increased. The duties received for deals and deal-ends from British Ame rica has improved last year by 20,0001. in comparison with the year preceding : The total declared value of. our Exports for the year ending Jan. 5, 1840. was £45,307,409 Year ending Jan. 5, 1841 Less in 1841 The cotton manufactures in the first.namedyear was 17,692,183/, against 17,561,7111. in the last ; Cotton-yarn 6,858,1931. against 7,099,4681. in the last ; Hardwares and Cutlery 1,828,5214 against 1,345,888/. ; Linen manufactures 3,414,9671. against 3,304,545/. ; Metals, iron and steel, 2,719,8251. against 2,508,5261 s ; Woollen manufactures 6,271,6501. against 5,336,2751. We shall be curious to see how Sir Robert Peel will treat this subject when it comes again to be discussed. The produce of the customs was— Gross receipts inwards, year ending Jan. 5, 1840 £23,278,089 Duties outwards £23,405,271 Year ending Jan. 5, 1841, the gross receipts inwards were £23,466,117 Duties outward 23,5g4,404 Increase in year ending Jan. 5, 1841........

We have not been able to afford space to give the contents of these very useful tables, particularly the table distinguishing the countries to which the vessels employed in the foreign trade re spectively belong. The greatest tonnage so engaged, we observe, is that of the United States, which last year was 432,486 tons in. wards, and 396,366 outwards. Prussia is next in rank, and Nor. way follows. This was settling day in the Foreign House, but from the limiled extent to which speculation has been entered into in the Foreign Securities of late, the differences to be paid were unusually small. In Spanish Actives the extreme fluctuations during the Account have not amounted to more than % per cent., and in the other securities the same apathy has existed. Spanish Actives opened this morning at 23% to 4; at the close of business, however, prices were not quite so firms, the quotation for the Account being 231 to 4. Dutch Stock improved fully per cent, on the closing quotations of )esterday; but in the other Foreign Securities there was no material alteration. TIMES.--Money in all the markets was in demand to-day, and the current rate on Consols was about 5 per cent. This, in the absence of any news to give an impulse to business, necessarily de. pressed prices, and the English stocks closed with rather a heavy tendency. The accommodation required for the settlement in the Foreign Funds was trifling, as speculation has not taken an active lead in them, but nevertheless from 7 to 8 per cent. was paid by those who required it. The fluctuations in the various descriptions of stock have altogether been of light character, with the exception of the decline in Chilian from 64 to 60, the last advices from Chili re presenting the settlement of the arrears of interest to the satisfac tion of the bondholders as extremely doubtful, and therefore the account has been little else than a nominal proceeding. There was rather a better supply of bills offering on 'Change to day, and it having exceeded the demand on Paris, Hamburgh, and Amsterdam, there was consequently an improvement in the rates of exchange on those places. Bills upon Antwerp, Brussels, and Legll. - .,rn, were rather in request, and the rates on thesis. places re. mained the same as last post. The accounts from Paris indicate that the Bank of France is exposed to difficulties with which we are here perfectly THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, FE r familiar, as regards the Bank of England, in rather a rapid reduction of its stock of bullion. It is stated that on the Ist instant it amounted only to 107,000,000 f., and that on the Ist of March it will be 7,000,000 or 5,000,000 less. The payment of the half. year's dividends on the Five per Cents. will, it is said, absorb 40,000,000 f,, and the remaining 60,000 f. will be scarcely sufficient for an Administration which expends 1,300,000 E, per annum. Leans of the floatit.g debt could not, it was supposed, supply the deficiency. The Treasury could hitherto only dispose of time bonds to the amount of 39,000,000 f., and that by paying 3i per cent. for six months' date, and 4 per cent. for a year, whereas two years ago the Treasury could easily procure money at at 2or 2i per cent. This arises from no scarcity of :Toney, which is said to abound in the Bourse, and is obtainable by private indi viduals at 2 per cent., but the credit of the State does not stand so high as that of private individuals. This drain on the coffers of the Bank of France will doubtless be felt to be very seasonable by the Directors of the Bank of England, and it is to be hoped that this event will have the effect of replenishing their own. LITERATURE. LETTERS FROM THE COURTS OF FRANCE, NAPLES, &c.-2 VO LS. Colburn, London, 1841. By a short biographical memoir prefixed to the first volume of this work, we learn that its author, Mr. Swinburne, was an accomplished English gentleman, third son of a northern Baronet of that name; that he wrote a highly popular book, entitled " Travels in Spain and Italy;" and died in the West Indies in the year 1803, of a coup de 801(41. From the volumes now lying on our table, we should judge that he was a gentleman of very accomplished tastes, and a man of the world in the best and most comprehen sive sense of the term; and we may add—what is evident indeed in all his letters—that without possessing one tithe of the fancy and sprightli ne3s of Horace Walpole, that prince of epistol ists, he possesses much of his easy, sketchy power of narration, esp ec ially w hen detailing a court or fashionable anecdote. Though in these volumes Mr. Swinburne refers to thnes,characters, and incidents long since passed away—for the date of ins last letter is as 'flu back as 1802—yet his ob servations and gossiping stories will be read with interest, affording us, as they do, a clear insight into the character of fashionable continental society towards the close of the last century. Of Louis the Fifteenth, and his favourite mistress Du Barri, we have many interesting reminis cences; the latter, to whom our author was specially introduced, he describes as follows : " We fbund the favourite Sultana in her morn ing gown, her capuchin on, and her hair un dressed ; she was very gracious, and chatted a good deal about the opera. I could hardly re frain from laughing at an involuntary exclama tion from my brother presentee, the Duke of Dorset, whose own mistress, Mrs. Parsons, has been long out of her teens. Good Heavens !' said his Grace in a whisper to me, why her bloom is quite past !' Madame du Bari is of a middling age, just plump enough, her face rather in the yellow leaf, her eyes good, and all her features regular • but I cannot think her a pleasing figure now, whatever she may have been, or may be still, when made up, and decked out in her pride." On quitting the Court of France, where he met with a cordial reception from all classes, our author set out for Spain, and here he was equally well received by the Royal Family and the No bility. According to his own account, nothing could exceed the magnificence of the Spanish Court at this period. " There are," he tells us, " twelve thousand head of deer in the Royal woods of Aranjuez. The King alone has one hundred and fifteen sets of mules, and ten thousand persons follow the Court whenever it changes palaces. The Duke of Infantado gives upwards of ten thousand pounds sterling in wages and pensions." From Spain Mr. Swinburne proceeded to Rome, Naples, and thence to Sicily, where nothing surprised him more than the exceeding ugliness of the women of Pa lermo. Brydone, if we remember rightly, was struck with their beauty. On his return to Eng land our author mixed much in the higher cir cles of the metropolis; and among others whom he often met in company, were the celebrated George Selwyn and John Wilkes, of whom he Oaks these anecdotes. "We had a turtle dinner at Wilkes's yesterday. I had met him the day before on the parade, and the warmth of the wea ther and walk had carried off all the powder from his bald pate. He is a great complimenter, and would stand talking to me with his hat in his hand A drummer and his son passed us, and as I was going their way, I overheard their discourse. ' What a queer-looking bald fellow that was,' said the boy. ' Don't you know him ?' replied the other ; "tis Johnny Wilkes, and that bald head has more brains in it than all our regiments put together, drummers and all.' I told this to Wilkes, and it made him chuckle. He was Very amusing, and told me several droll things._ POST.—The general condition and prospects of the stock mar kets remain the same. The scarcity of money is, however, more urgently felt than it has been at any period since the close of the past year. Of the pressure experienced in this respect at the Stock Exchange some idea will be conveyed by the difference there is be tween the quotations of Consols for time and for immediate trans fer, which is full per cent. The result of the debate on Lord Morpeth's Registration Bill was such as to lead to the conclusion, in this part of the metro polis, that Ministers have no alternative left but to abandon office. Those most attached to them, and to their interests, seem, indeed, on every account, not only to expect but even to wish it. If this be nct the prevailing view of our commercial men, we shall most probably be contradicted. Yet we confidently risk the aesertioti. All parties are satisfied that things cannot go on as they are now doing any longer. SUN —The high rates paid in the Stock Exchange for discount accommodation had the effect of keeping down the value of the Funds. Consols for immediate transfer have been marked 881 to 881-, and for time 89k to 891. The rate of continuation to-day was 4to per Cent., till 15th April. Exchequer Bills brought 50. to 7s. premium, and India Bonds were 15s. discount. Bank Stick was at an advance to 166 and 167, and India Stock was nominally without alteration ; the New Three and-I-Half per Cents. brought 97 to 1, and the Three per Cents. 891 to 881. The half-monthly account in the Foreign Market was settled to-day, and attracted scarcely any notiez, from its extreme insignificance. Spanish Active Bonds hale al ternated since the 12th instant not more than .f 4-, Portu guese only 1, Mexican 1, and Brazilian 1/ per cent. Money is at present rather scarce in the Stock Exchange, and it is perhaps so far lucky that the fluctuations have not been more considerable. Spanish Active Bods were marked to-day at 231 to 24, Portugu ese New-Fire per Cents. at 31.,t to 1, Colombian of 1824 at 221, Mexican at 271 to Brazilian at 72 to 4, Buenos Ayres at 25 ; Russian Bonds were firm at 113., Danish brought 77k, and• Dutch Five I.er Cents. 991 to 4. At Amsterdam, on Tuesday afternoon, the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. doss d at 501 to 7-16ths, and the Five per Cents. at 97 15-16 to 98. The Railway Shares were this afternoon again rather more dealt in, but the speculations having been recently in favour of a decline, the account has sent down price.; a littlr. Great Western we r e 23 t o 211 ; tht., New 10 to ; the Fifths 5 ; the South Western 17i ; and the York and North Midland 251 premium. Brighton Shares were 71 to 74; Blackwall Northern and Eastern 27 ; North Midland 27 ; Birmingham and Gloucester 22; and South Eastern 164- discount. British North American Bank Shares were 51- discount. This afternoon the Foreign Exchanges were again bet ter, the improvement being more decided than for some post days past. The rate for bills on Paris was 25f. 60c. to 65c. ; on Hamburgh, 13 7 4 4 -, to 8 ; nn Amsterdam, 12 34 t0 1 ; on Antwerp, 12 21 to k ; on Frankfort, 149 k; and on Trieste, 10 11 to 2i. " In 1783-4, the House of Commons went up every day with an address to the King, praying to remove Pitt and his Mi nistry. The King always received them on his throne, and gave them an answer. One of these days, at the club, George Selwyn had been asking the Prince of Wales some questions, to which he did not choose to reply otherwise than by Pshaw ! nonsense !' Not long after, as they were both leaning on the balcony looking at the Speaker going to Court, the Prince said; I wonder what will be his Majesty's most gracious an swer?' I cannot tell,' answered George Selwyn, ' what may be the gracious answer of his present Majesty—but I can tell what will be the answer of our next gracious Sovereign.' ' Well, what will it be ?' said the Prince. ' Nonsense !' he replied. " The other day, at a dinner, in company with the Prince of Wales, Wilkes being called upon for a toast, gave "rho King, and long life to him !' Since when have you become so loyal, Wilkes?' said the Prince, laughing. Ever since I have'had the honour of knowing your Royal Highness,' said he, with a respectful bow. " When the Prince was a little boy, having been very trouble some in his father's room, an' several times turned out of it by him, he returned at last, and thrusting his head into the door way, screamed out, Wilkes and Liberty !' " Of Mrs. Siddons, whom our author frequently met while in London, he says that " she is hand some, but too stately for common life," to which remark the Editor, Mr. White, appends this amusing note : This is true. Mrs. Siddons almost always, to use her own expression, spoke in the language of Shakspeare, and accounted for it by her mind being constantly absorbed in meditating upon the works of our immortal bard, so that she identified herself, as it were, with his phraseology. The last time almost I met her, she said, " how fares your good lady ?" " Passing well," answered I. " Bear my kind greetings, and commend me to her favour," replied Mrs. Siddons, waving her hand. Then again, one day at dinner, I proposed to help her to something ; I cry your mercy," said she, "I've feasted sumptuously." In Lockhart's life of Scott there is, if we re member rightly, a somewhat similar anecdote related of Mrs. Siddons. She was dining at Abbotsford, when, happening to call for a glass of beer, the servant, by mistake, brought her a tumbler of cold water, on which, looking at him with the severe, majestic air of a high tragedy Queen, she addressed hi m in the following blank verse manner, " You've brought me water, boy, I called for beer." In closing our notice of this amusing, desultory work, we must observe that it is by no means so carefully edited as it should have been. Here, for instance, is a strange blun der on the part of the Editor. Mr. Swinburne, having casually mentioned that he had paid a visit to the "Duchess de la Valero, aged seventy nine, who was a famous beauty, and has yet won derful eyes," Mr. White, confounding this lady with the celebrated mistress of the Grand Mo narque, observes in a note :—" It is, I believe, admitted that Madame de la Valliere, from her first presentation at Court to the latest moment of her life, continued most constant both to the person and memory of her Iloyal lovte, The history of her liaison with Louis XIV., and her abandon ment b:.,* titan di44oluto and capricious Monarch, are too well known to require comment." Now, it happens that the Duchesse de la Valliere did not survive Lotils, but died five years before him, in 1710, and yet Mr. White gravely states that she was alive in 1787—the period to which Mr. Swinburne's visit refers—Just seventy-seven years after her decease ! This is sad negligence. TEE NAVAL SURGEON. 3 Yoz.s. Colburn, London, 1841. There is no want of mystery in this story, but it is of a Violent and melodramatic character, and is unravelled with an appearance of effort that detracts from the effect. The hero is a high spirited, adventurous young man, the son of an - Trish Baronet of ancient descent, Sir Maurice O'Donnell, who leaving been rescued from death in a field of battle by a brother officer of the same name, is so grateful to his preserver, that he purchases him a small estate near his own at Castle Maurice; adopts him as a brother; and when both O'Donnells subsequently marry, they agree to live together, so as to form with their children one large, happy, and united family. For some years nothing can surpass their mutual felicity, but unfortunately circumstances call Major O'Donnell to England, and during his ab sence, his wife, who is a confirmed sleep-walker, whenever anything weighs upon her mind, meets with—or rather is the occasion of—the following very awkward mistake, which is thus related by Sir . Maurice O'Donnell, who was one of the chief parties compromised by the accident, to his son, many a long year after the event : " By extreme care this habit of sleep-walking in Mrs. O'Donnell had been, as we believed, quite cured; and after showing itself only when external circumstances had grievously oppressed the mind, a long interval elapsed without any recurrence, and we ceased to fear that such would be the cause. Colonel O'Donnell, her husband, had almost forgot that it had ever occurred, and this led to his neglecting the precautions that guarded against its evils. When he, as you are aware, left Castle Maurice for England, his wife greatly wished to accompany him ; but as he had a peculiar aversion to such a step, she re mained behind, and, it being their first separation, was in great distress. At this time both my brother's room and my own were doubly furnished chambers, and when my wife rose on she following morning, she came to my side. The discovery which ensued, I cannot, dare not, relate to you in detail ; suffice it to say that the happiness of a life was blasted in a moment for all three. The unspeakable agony, the horrible debate that followed I cannot dwell upon. Mrs. O'Donnell became a gibbering ideot; my w ire fell into almost as pitiable a state ; and I was thence forth the melancholy being you have always known. At first it was thought advisable to conceal the truth from the Colonel; but that becoming impossible, I wrote to him a letter conkintly with your mother. To her part of this lett^r he replied. But whether his reason tottered under the blow I know not ; I cannot, however, think otherwise. He refused to believe anything but the vilest treachery on my part—spoke of his immed'ate return, and vowed to attempt my life, whenever he should meet me." Of course after this " untoward" affair the O'Donnells no longer reside under the same roof; the Baronet still continues at his castle, but Major O'Donnell retires with his wife and chil dren to a small estate in the neighbourhood; and happening to meet with hi. , ; 010 friend, but now • -deadly enemy, olle day in inintiirg, he provokes him to a duel, and is killed by the Baronet. Soon afterwards the survivor's son encounters [JAR V 27, 1841. young KEtthlt,4,4t O'Donnell, falls in love with her, and would &Ist! married her, but that Sir Maurice hearing of the cirCiiiitstance orders her to be clandestinely conveyed away to the Continent. Thus disappointed; and stung by his father's harshness and injustice towauds him, the young man resolves on leavin g home and becom ing the artificer of his own fortune. With this view he adopts the medical line, and obtains the post of naval surgeon; and his adventures in this profession, which are related at length, and with much graphic vigor, forth by far the most enter taining portions of the tale. Here, there is much various knowledge of actual dally life exhibited, and not a few characters drawn with equal tact and superior energy to any of Captain Marryat's naval sketches. The tale concludes with the hero's marriage with Kathleen O'Donnell—a re sult, however, which is brought about by a can currence of the most improbable events. CHILDREN OF THE MOBILITY. Bentley, London, 1841. This is a lively and ingenious quiz upon a showy, fashionable Annual entitled " Children of the Nobility," which, it may be remembered, way brought out last year in a very splendid style, and contained Some three or four brace of aristo cratic portraits, to each of which was attached some commendatory pieces of prose or verse. In the " Children of the Mobility," we have, instead of particular individuals, groupes of figures of the lowest classes, sketched with great spirit and humour by Leech, who bids fair to win himself a name in this walk of art. In the ease, lightness, and occasional elegance of his touch, he is not unlike H. 8., but he has less whim of conception, and has yet to show that he possesses the variety of this accomplished caricaturist. Mr. Leech's first plate, which forms the 'frontis piece of the present work, is his cleverest, and represents a squalid groupe of pauper children, whose thin, pinched faces and tattered garments present a striking contrast to the healthy, hand some aristocratic groupes depicted in the Annual above mentioned. One figure, that of a young girl, who is listening with a smile to the conver sation of a ragged urchin near her, is remarkable for the ease, not to say elegance of its attitude, though the 'artist, we suspect, intended to make the girl's figure merely ridiculous. The bare legged child who stands next her, and is looking pensively into an empty porter-pot, cannot be seen without exciting a hearty laugh, so exqui site grotesque is the would-be pathetic expression of her countenance. The literary department of the work is penned in a spirit of quiet, sedate humour, which would have been more effective, had the author thrown a little more breadth and piquancy into it. THE MONEYED MAN. 3 VoLs, Colburn ' London, 1841. 't Mr. Horace Smith has here essayed alltaSk in which he is far better qualified to excel„than in writing imitations of the Waverley.' novels. In the " Moneyed Man," he has found a subject every way suited to his talents, for the tale is one of real practical life, and deals with real characters, and consequently has been treated con amore by an author whose power of shrewd observation has ever been more remarkable than his fancy. We consider the novel before us as the best that the year has yet produced, first, on account of its in cidents, which are well put together, and vigor ously and carefully wrought out; and secondly, on account of the judicious reflections that are scattered throughout it, and the praise worthy moral it enforces. The leadinr , points of the "Moneyed Man" which assumes the form of an autobiography— may be soon summed up. The hero, Mark Hawkwood, is the son and heir of the richest banker and merchant in all London, and at the opening of the narrative has just succeeded in obtaining a partnership in his father's house of business. The old man, whose sole thoughts are bent on the accumulation of gain, endeavours, of course, to inoculate his son with the same tastes; but the young man prefers rather to join in the fashionable society and dissipa tions of the West-end, which soon involve him in pecuniary embarrassments. While he is thus hampered by his extravagances, old Hawk wood suddenly dies; and then the son discovers to his surprise and horror that, instead of succeed- as he had anticipated, to his vast wealth, he succeeds to nothing but his debts, for the supposed millionaire had died in a state of absolute insolvency. Then follow in rapid succession the usual calamities attending such a state of things. The destitute young :nan is cut by all his respectable acquaintances; the charm that hung around his life is dispelled; his spirits daily sink more and more; and he seems likely ere long to degenerate into a confirmed misanthropist. But at this crisis, his only sister Edith interposes, like a guardian angel, between him and utter, hopeless ruin. By her advice, lie looks actively about him for the means of sub sistence ; shakes off his lethargy; and after some time spent in hunting about for a suitable em ployment, obtains a situation on a newspaper; marries a girl with a small fortune, whom he had occasionally flirted with in the days of his prosperity ; and during the remainder of his life enjoys a far greater amount of rational happiness than lie had ever enjoyed when courted by all classes of society in defe rence to his father's wealth and his own expecta tions. The main object of the tale is to show that riches are by no means indispensable to felicity, but, on the contrary, are too often destructive of it ; and this useful moral is enforced through the medium of the hero's own confessions, who, as a rich man, is a very selfish, heartless, ar rogant fellow ; but when brought to his senses, and sobered by misfortunes, seems to change his very nature, and to become calm, amiable, contented, and happy, because then, for the first time, he enjoys—what Pope has so beautifully called—the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind." The delineation of this charac ter, in the various phases of its idiosyncrasy, is admirably true to nature, and induces the suppo sition that some particularindividual, with whom the author was acquainted, sat for the portrait. In the course of the narrative we have brief glimpses of several personages of more or less note in their day--such as the Prince of Wales,Beau Brummell, and Barrington the pickpocket, which last genius had the finest conception of a petty larceny of any artist that ever existed, though it has been objected to him, by some fastidious critics, that his style of execution was monotonous and wanted versa tility. We close this hasty notice with the re mark that the " Moneyed Man " isincomparably the most thoughtful, spirited, and entertaining novel that has yet appeared from the pen of Ho race Smith. SCEIVERY AND ANTIQUITIES OP IRELAND. P 4117 I. Virtue, London, 1841. We have here the commencement of another work on Ireland, resembling in its plan and mode of publication the one now editing by Mrs. Hall, but certainly not possessing—so far at least as we can judge from a first number—the claims of that excellent work on popular favour. Mr. Wil lis is the editor of the present publication—an American gentleman who has written some small poems of a very Grub-street order of imagina tion, and one or two volumes of travels in which, mixed with some lively descriptions, there is an infinite deal of pert twaddle. His cursory sketches, in the Part before us, of the scenery in the neighbourhood of Belfast, are passable enough, and his account of the city of Belfast is, we have reason to believe, strictly accurate. " No town," he says, " that I have since visited, is so un-Irish in its appearance, or in the character of its inhabitants. Industry, tem perance, and frugality seem to be the guid ing principle among every class. Business is life here, and life is business; we find none of the deep drinking and careless merriment' of the South, which leave to-morrow to do for itself. A shrewd calculating spirit pervades the whole mass of the community, proving in contestibly their genuine Scotch descent. Yet, with all their money-getting habits, the people of Bel fast are not so engrossed by business, but that they can afford a large portion of their time and money to the advancement of literature and the fine arts." The embellishments of this Part are six in number, and furnish us with a vivid idea of some of the loveliest landscapes in Ire land. The best in point of subject and execution is a view of " Clew Bay, from West Port," which, with its gleaming water dotted by syl van islands, bold mountain-shores, and far stretching promontories, realizes all our notions of the sublime and beautiful in nature. By way of frontispiece, we have a half-length portrait of Mr. Willis, in which that gentleman is trying hard to look like a man of genius, but, we are sorry to say, without effect. 7HE SPAS OF ENGLAND. • Colburn, London, 1841. After visiting in succession, and describing with much minuteness of detail, the most cele brated Spas of Germany, Dr. Granville has now turned. his attention to those of England ; and in the present volume has given an ac count of those of our northern Spas Which are most frequented by invalids. ce His hose de tails of Harrogate—a watering-pla w springs still retain all their old efficiency — of Scarborough, Redcar, and Hartlepool, are full of curious local matters, and we hope will be the means of drawing an increase of visitors to these delightftil - spots, • and checking the preva lent mania for resorting to foreign Spas, as if INITIA LATINA. This ig a i'Vry useful guide to Latin for begin ners, edited by the Rev. I. Edwards, M.A., Se cond Master of King's College School, and Wil liam Cross, of Trinity College, Cambridge. Its peculiarity consists in the threefold division of the Syntax, forming three successive courses of study. Nothing is anticipated in construction, but an outline of the subject is presented to the pupil in the first part, which is the object of the remaining parts to fill up. A vocabulary is pre fixed to the first and second parts, and the Eton Syntax forms the basis of the rules. which are so simple and intelligible that a learner with a slight knowledge of the grammar may study the work to great advantage without the assiotance of a master. A DICTIONARY OF SCIENCE, LITER:4- TUBE, AND ART, The Second Number of this work, whigh is to be completed in Twelve Parts, has just appearech and contains all the articles under the letter fl to those under Cup to " Chivalry." We have already described the nature of the work, and are glad to find that this Part confirms the favour able opinion we formed of it at the commence ment. The article on " Banks," by Mr. M'Cul loch, will be read with interest at the present moment. It gives a concise history of banking in general, pointing out the defects of the pre sent system, with suggestions for its improve.; went, a statement of the affairs of the Bank of England, an account of the circulation of pri vate banks in England and Wales, and an outline of the system of banking in Scotland since the establishment of the Bank of Scotland in 1695, one year after the Bank of England was founded. In describing the panic among bankers, farmers, and others, after the general peace and the panic of 1825, the writer gives the following distressing account of the vast destruc tion of property : " The country banks (in 1815) being generally without the means of meeting any emergency no fewer than 240 of these establishments stopped payment. There is, in fact, believed to have been in 1814-15-16 a greater destruction of bank-paper in this country, and a wider range of bankruptcy than had ever previously taken place any where else, except, perhaps in France, at the breaking up of the Mississippi scheme, and so rapid and sweeping . was the destruction in 1825, that, in less than six weeks, above seventy banking establishments were swept off, and a vacuum created in the currency that absorbed from eight to ten millions of additional issues by the Bank of England." Among the other articles of interest are " Ba rometer"(an ample account), "Bridge" " Canal," and a " Capillary Action" and " Chemistry." FOX'S BOOK OF MARTYRS. PART I Virtue, London. 1841. A republication, in Monthly Parts, of a book once exceedingly popular, but which has now, in a great measure, fallen into oblivion, the age having outgrown that taste for physical horrors in which it unsparingly deals. The Part is printed in a clear, and even elegant type, and on very excellent paper. We cannot, however, pre dict for the work any extensive circulation, though its cheapness and beauty are certainly strong arguments in its favour. MEMOIRS OF THE COLMAN FAMILY. 2 Vols. Bentley, London, 1841. Much of the matter contained in these volumes has already appeared in George Colman's " Ran dom Records," but as the Editor, as in duty bound, has mentioned this fact, we know not that we have any great cause to complain, especially as the extracts are all of an entertaining nature, and many of them, no doubt, new to our readers, the work from which they are taken, having had, we believe, but a limited circulation. As the Colmans, father and son, passed their whole lives amid the stir and bustle of society, and were both of them distinguished by ability —the father being the better scholar, the son, the greater wit—they came in contact with nearly all, the celebrated personages of their day ; and in these volumes we have cursory remini scences of many of the most eminent among their contemporaries. As a matter of course, Dr. Johnson figures prominently among them, but is drawn by the younger Colman in no favourable light, while Gibbon is kindly and respectfully spoken of, and Goldsmith ex tolled to the skies for that very bonhommie and simplicity which so highly excited the pity and contempt of Boswell. Of Garrick also, and Foote, and Sheridan, we have several diverting recollections; but the former, with his insatiable egotism, vanity, and fussiness of nature, cuts but a sorry figure ; and after reading the biographer's account of the great actor's en deavours to puff himself off through the medium of a friend, while residing in Paris, we are more than ever disposed to acquiesce in the justice of Johnson's estimate of him. Hannah More appears but once on the stage,but this once is quite enough, for never was author more extravagantly overrated than the sainted Hannah. As a poet and a dra matist, her abilities were beneath contempt; as a novelist, she was merely of a fourth-rate order ; and as a theological writer, her prosi ness is at least as remarkable as her piety. She had, however, consummate knowledge of the world, and by flattering all the great people of her day—more particularly Johnson, whom, on one occasion, she absolutely sickened by her fulsome compliments—she managed to se cure for herself a reputation which is only just now beginning to find its level. At the close of the volumes we find a character of the younger Colman pourtrayed by Mr. Arnold, in what we are willing to believe is a just, though it is assuredly not a flattering, spirit. This gentleman gives more praise to the con versational wit of Sheridan than to that of Colman, in which he differs from Lord Byron, who had met both in society, and has recorded in his diary—vide Moore's Life— that he thought the latter by far the most acceptable companion of the two. " Who shall decide when doctors disagree ?" We subjoin a whimsical anecdote of Colman when invited to dine at Carlton House, which has this rare re commendation, that it has never till now appeared in print : About this time his Royal Highness the Duke of York obtained leave (from the King's Bench) for Colman to dine at Carlton House. He accompanied the Duke thither. On his walking through the apertments with him, Colman remarked, " What excellent lodgings have nothing like them in the King's Bench 1" After dinner, he exclaimed,—" Eh 1 why this is wine • pray, do tell me, who that fine looking fellow is at the head of Georthe table ?" The good-natured Duke, said. Hash, ge , you'll get into a scrape." " No, no," said Colman, in a louder voice, " I am come out to enjoy myself; I want to know who that fine, square-shouldered, magnificent -looking, agree able fellow is at the head of the table ?" "Be quiet, George," interrupted the Duke, " You know it is the Prince." " Why then," continued Colman, still louder, " He is your elder brother. I declare Ire don't look look half your age. Well the I remember the time when he sung a good song! and as I am come out for a lark, fur only one day, if be is the same good fellow that be used to be, he. would not refuse an old play-fellow." The Prince laugh ed, and sang. " What a magnificent voice,", exclaimed Colman. " I have heard nothin g to he co mpared to it for year& Such expression too ! I'll be damned if I don't engage him for my theatte. It would appear that this freak gave no offenccito the Royal host; for Colman was ever treated with kindness by George the Fourth.

EVEN ING EDIT CHURCH RATES-ST. IV s. On Thursday last, pursuant to public notice, a meetilig was held in the parish church of St. Ives, for the object of levying a r , , te for the repairs, Sec. Sc., of the church. 'The Vicar, ths' Rev. Mr. ro,brook, took the Chair, and in a speech which was ch arac in a few words, proposed th e ra t e — secon d e d by Mr.. terie w 0 4 - • mildness and propriety, open e d th e b us i ness o f t h e d ay. six months.

The Rev. Mr. HOLLkND seconded the amendment; and in a speech replete with argunent, sound sense, and libera lions, said that he for one wondered that the Church party, who arvogated to themselves wealth and influence, intellectual superiority and pa tronage, should so lower themselves as to ask the poor Dissenter to contribute towards the support of their richly.endowed and bene ficed Establishment. Mr..T. LAWRENCE in a long speech supported the Rate, and among other arguments quoted a passage from Scripture—" R ender unto Ctesar the things that are Cwsar's," which excited Witch laughter. G. C. DAY, Esq., followed, and in his usual energetic style cam.. pletely exposed the fallacy of the attempt to enforce a Church-rate at the present moment. He asked for the production of the kat, Rate; wishing to know if it was all collected, and if so how ap plied, but it was not produced. He then entered at considerablae length into the law of the subj - nt, and showed that the burden of repairing the churches was at first laid, and long continued upon„ the tithes. He quoted the judgment of the Queen's Bench in the, Braintree case, and said it was unfortunate for Mr. Lawrence.

A poll of the parish was then demanded, which at Four o'Clock was closed, anol the decision was as follows : Against the rate.., . 243 For the rate Majority against the rate Thus victory has crowi.ed the errata of the independent Dis senters of the town of St. Ives, who have thus publicly expressed to the world their unqualified disapprobation of this unrighteous impost. HEATING BUILDINGS WITH HOT WATER. TO TEE EDITOR OF TEE SUN. Sir,Taterested in an extensive manufactory heated by the above means, my attention was naturally roused by the alarming announcement above in your paper of the 15th instant. After detailing many dangerous con sequences from its use, your Correspondent asks, .‘ How, if at all, can the danger he averted, acrd this cheap and convenient mode of heating buildings by means of water, be practise , ' without risk ?" This question I will endeavour to answer by explaining the plan adopted in our own manufactory. The building consists of four floors or stories; upon the lower floor is erected a wrought-iron boiler, of an elongated form; on the upper floor it a cistern of a similar form, but of much smaller dimensions, and open at the top. A cast-iron pipe four inches in diameter is connected to the top of the bt.iler by a flancb, and proceeding upwards, passes round the lofts required to be heated, and terminates at the cistern above-mentioned, to one end of which it is united in the same manner as at its commencement from the boiler. M the opposite end of the cistern begins another pipe of the same dimensions, which descends to the boiler, and, passing through the top of the boiler, gees to within a few inches of the bottom. The first from the top of the boiler to one end of the cistern is the ascending pipe ; the latter from the opposite end of the cistern through the top and nearly to the bottom of the boiler, the descend ing pipe. The apparatus is filled with water supplied by a tome-pump, to the open cistern at the top, and the ope ration is at once simple, safe, and effective; simple, be cause natural, as thus : Water, being composed of parti cles or atoms whose affinity for each other is readily dis turbed by heat, the lowest portion, at the bottom of the boiler, being nearest the fire, is the first affected, and the columnal pressure of the water in the descending pipe being greater than that in the ascending, the whole is set is motion passing through the cistern at the top down one pipe through the boiler and up the other pipe, until the whole body of water is heated to one uniform degree, never reaching the boiling point, consequently producing no steam. For safety, no plan for diffusing heat can be equal to this, as no danger can arise from materials, however com bustible, being placed in close contact with the pipes. Of its efficacy we have had ample proof in the experience of ten years, a temperature higher than required for the pur poses of any manufactory being easily produced and kept up without heating the water to the boiling point. So far I presume, Mr. Editor, your Correspondent's inquiry has been satisfactorily met. Looking for a mo ment to the case which has proved so disastrous, it stems very clear, from the statement of your Correspondent,"_ nthe water affinity n evaporates,ity of the that the water has been heated far beyond boiling point. fliesN Vc aorffeianitloaswteaaremt;haint othera at thi s P oit words, par ticles or atoms of which water is composed, is at this de gree of heat destroyed, and, separating from each other, become an expansive power of more or less extent, ac• cording to the degree of heat ; but if the boiler and pipes arc so filled that no space or vacuum exists for the forma• tion of steam, then, as the experiments of Perkins, already alluded to, have shown, it can be heated to any de gree of beat that the metal which confines it will sustain. without fusion. r Correspon..

Th e subject is a very 7 Yn a r4 late numb er important one, and the remarks most just. There is, ho wever , one error throughout the a rticle alluded to which it is desirable to . correct. The ar ticle describes the accident t o have an of the ordinary constr uc ti on . This i s a mista ke. se° from apparatus The apparatus in question i s one which was patented some years since by Mr. P er ki ns, and cons ists sealed tubes, whi c h can eas il y be hea tedßo as hamle t re tze n a d llz them red hot, an d t h us produce the effect you I c :ave de scribed. Not se, however, with the ordinary hot-water apparatus, because, in this, pipes of two-inch bore end upwards arc always used, together with a boiler and cis tern, which is invariably open to the external air, thus effectually preventing the temperature of the water in any part from rising above 212 degrees. In such an apparatus as this there is no possibility of accident, either from fire or from explosion, and the hun dreds, nay, thousands, that have been erected on this plan, with the most perfect success, have proved its safety a n d efficiency in buildings of every description. It is of the utmost importance that these two distinct plans of heating buildings should not be confounded. In the one where the small hermetically sealed pipes are used, the risk from fire and from explosion are imminently great, in the other these accidents are absolutely impossible. It therefore behoves the public, as well as the Insurance Comp an i es , to investigate this m a t ter f u ll y , as th e ac knowledged safety of one description of hot-water appa ratus has led many persons to believe that the same pro perties belong to the other, and they have thus become in advertently. possessed of an apparatus which a very slight degree of inattention may convert into a most dangerous and destructive engine.
