This letter states that the men and horses on their return were nearly worn out with fatigue,. and that the hospital of Mostaganem did not suffice for the reception of the sick ; 200 sick had, therefore, been sent to Oran in the Euphrates, and 200 in the Sphinx, a larger number still remaining at Mostaganem, and 300 at Mascara. The forces assembled under .Abd-el-Bader, between the 4th and Bth of October, are stated to have amounted to 13,000 men, regulars, and irregulars, and in the affair of the 12th, although the enemy was defeated, the resistance is represented to have been so vigorous that General Bugeaud considered it prudent not again to divide his fbrces, which amounted together to 11,000 men. The destruction of Saida, however, which had enabled Abd el-Kader to maintain his authority in that part of the country, had produced a great moral effect upon the tribes, who had hitherto been kept in subjection by him, and they were, as stated in the accounts already given, coming over to the French. Our readers have not forgotten that the Contemporaine had instituted an action against the Temps, which, in an article on the affairs of the Letters had spoken of her as guilty of forgery, and that she demanded 50,000 francs damages. Our Correspondent informs us that according to a report spreading in some circles, the action will not be persisted in, the Contemporaine having, it is said, re ceived the sum which she claimed as damages, but it should seem that the 50,000 francs have not been paid by the Temps. As this affair is of some importance, we think it right to report all that is done, and even all that is said respecting it. We must now wait to see whether the action will proceed or not.—Quotidienne. BOURSE—PARIS, SATUR DA Y, Nov. 27. kits' ,Highest Lowest Price 14ice. Pm, Prier.

THE COURT OF CHANCERY.—Lord Langdale, Mastrjr of the Rolls ; the Vice-Chancellor Wi-gram; Mr. Pemberton, Queen's Counsel; and Mr. Sutton Sharpe, Queen's Counsel, have undertaken, under the sanction and at the re quest of the Lord Chancellor, "to consider the practice, course of proceeding, and offices of the Court of Chancery, with reference to such regu lations and alterations thereof as (under the powers conferred by the statutes 3 and 4 Viet., c. 94, and 4 and 5 Viet., c. 52), it would be expe dient to make fir the purpose of diminishing the expense and delay attending the administration of justice in the said Court." A report has, we are informed, goDP that directions have been given Its:: the . i;re r p o a r r ti a ) : tion of St. George's Hall, i ,2 ," indsor Castle, for istening of the infant the purpose of th7 p.,,, c o n a r: Prince. We have reason to believe that this report is to' without foundation, and, moreover, 0- wig' at • • it is highly probable that the at the proper period, signify the Queen person wish and intention of h er M ajesty t h at the `-='..tcrament of baptism shall, in the case of the Pr',nce, be ministered in a church or chapel. MONEY-ORDER OFFICE.—The public are now beginning to appreciate the advantages of the money-order office system, from the safety and facility of transmitting property, and settling small transactions or debts without the inconve nience, expense, and delay hitherto experienced. The system is daily ramifying into new channels, and diffusing its benefits throughout the land. The office in St. Martin's-le-Grand commenced with three clerks : it now employs seventy, and the average sum paid is abuut three thousand pounds daily. HER MAJESTY AND THE INFANT, We have reason to believe that her I)ltj'esty has expressed a disincP:Aiation to perfkr",m any act in consequence of ';,hick the u'LV-born heir to the Throne would be addressed by a title similar to that by which his illustrious father is designated and a' 3 Alressed. It is also said that both to the PrerAier and the Lord Chancellor this feeling on tb, 4 part of her Majesty has been made the sub pet of a formal communication, for the purpose of ascertaining how far, with due regard to es tablished precedent, it can be acted upon in set tling the style of the interesting subject of the in quiry. " The Infant. Priuce" is the appellation which is used throughout the Household, when speaking of the Royal Infant; and this title is understood to be that for which her Majesty has expressed a decided preference. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vtibitt Optuton. " Who runs may read." POREIGN. The French Journals are still occupied with the 'ver dict of the Jury in the case of M. Ledru Rollin for libel. The verdict has evidently placed the Government in what Brother Jonathan calls a fix. The law officers of the Crown are doubtful whether they have the power to im prison M. Ledru Rollin, as by the 43d article of the Charter, a deputy cannot be arrested during the Session, or for a period of six weeks preceding or following it. Spain had established the new Custom-house regula tions at Irun on the 21st instant: The intelligence greatly irritated the French inhabitants on the frontier who expected that smuggling would continue till the Ist of December. " Yet surely," says the correspondent of a Morning Contemporary, writing from Bayonne, " No persons have less right to complain of Spanish Custom-house restrictions than the French in habitants of the towns on the Spanish frontier. The un necessary and most vexatious rigour of the French Cus tom-house officers at Behobia and Socoa has been long proverbial, and any individual, Spanish, English, or French, who has passed the frontier, will not forget tht severe and odious scrutiny to which not only his bag gage, but even his person, has been always submitted. Female children of the tender age of ten and twelve years have been not unfrequently stripped of their gar ments, for the purpose of ascertaining if even between the chemise and the skin they might not have concealed some article prohibited by the French tariff, and from this indecent examination no age was exempt. I have myself seen, about three years ago, a woman, aged about sixty years, placed in a situation of much embarrass ment, frota the fact of its having gen discovered by one of these Arguses that she wore a man's cotton shirt, value about two francs and a half, or thereabouts, under her gown. It was in vain the poor woman protested that the article belonged to her husband, who accom panied her, and she put it on merely to afford herself ad ditional protection against the cold, and not for tiii pur pose of smuggling. The husband made 'the same de claration, and the truth of their statement was proved by some persons who had come with them from San Sebas tian, It was all in vain. The cotton shirt, worth 2?., not having been washed, went to augment the revenue of his Majesty the King of the French." The greatest distress prevails among the working classes in Paris. Among the small shopkeepers failures a.re so common, that in some places whole streets are in a manner deserted. The Presse, which never exagge rates the distresses of the poor, says—" At this season, then the trade of the capital, in consequence of the ap proach of the new year, is generally most prosper , ,, as , several shops are seen closed every day, in the ri c h es t and most populous neighbourhoods. ecanmercial crisis has caused numerous failures. ds a further sign of the times, forced sales by auctio:a and executions suc ceed in alarming numbers." --- fie• Commerce Beige asserts that the project of mar approbation of Don Carlos, and riage between the eldest ',,0n.. of Don Carlos and Queen I th i:ve been carried by special o rze t l o ve u d s Isabella that th e has neg Envoy from the tJour . t of Naples.()n a "This project," it 1 adds, "has been submitted to the English Cabinet by the Neapolitan Ambassador at London, .• - 4 n d has been sup ported 'oy the Duke of VVellin,q' t on. Lord Aberdeen, with the unanimous consent of the British Cabinet, has allressed instructions,. te the British resident Minister at Madrid, and ;rag also addressed a private letter to the Duke de, lOrittoria, urging him to come at once to a decision eAniforniable to the intentions which have directed these negotiations, Great Britain undertaking to obtain the adhesion of all the other great Powers." The responsible editors of the Now:tile Mode and the Revue ch, Steck, were both brought yesterday before the Correctional Tribunal, for publishing their respective Journals without having made a sutlicicat deposit of Faii.iion money. Th e first was sentenced to a month's - imprisonment, and 200 francs fine ; and the second, to two penalties, one of two months' imprisonment, and 300 francs fine, an d t h e o th er of four months' imprison ment, and 300 francs fine. When lately we mentioned the presents made by the Sultan to the British dragomans, we forgot to notice those given to Charles Bankhead, Esq., Secretary of Embassy, and now Minister pro ternpore, as also to Mr. Doyle, Lord Ponsonby's Secretary, to Mr. Alison, Attache to the Embassy, and to Mr. Wood, now Consul at Da mascus. They consisted of valuable gold snuff-boxes, mounted in brilliants. On the evening of the 7th, the Sultan went in great state to the mosque of Topkhane to celebrate the cere mony of the Kadir Guecijessi ; this night of the Rams zun, which is usually the fourth before the Bairam, is called Amar, which means "the night of power," on ac count of the miracles said to have been then performed by Mahomet, and by which he manifested his pretended mission. It is, at this time, that the Sultana Valide se lects one of the greatest beauties of her harem as a pre sent to the Sultan. All the great functionaries accom panied the Sultan, and salutes ,were fired and fireworks left off. He returned' with the same pomp to the palace, where the female chosen by the Sultana Valide was pre sented to him. The crowd assembled to witness the pro cession of the Sultan was immense. " A letter from Constantinople says:—A few days ago the country house of Madame Feri, situate on the road to the Sweet Waters, was forcibly entered by seven men in disguise, who carried off every thing of value that was portable. An Armenian house at Yenikuoy was also entered, and shawls, jewellery, and fur pelisses were taken, to the amount, it is said, of 700/. The house, at Buyukdere, of M. Sonza, the Spanish Secretary of Lega tion, has been further visited, and robbed of such articles of plate as could be found. It is suspected that these depredations in the country are committed by Harvats (Croatians), few of whom can be made to understand the difference between meum and tuunt. In town also many houses have been pillaged." The Agram Gazette, of the Bth inst., has the follow ing :—" All the Servian exiles left Constantinople on the Ist inst. They are to be accompanied as far as Belgrade by a Turkish Commissioner, and an Imperial order, to which the' Servian Government has given its adhesion, fixes the indemnity, fur the salaries which the) have lost, at 500,000 piastres. Splendid presents were sr e to them by the Ottoman Port e . O n t h e s t h , chael visited General Bar on d e H aue r Mi at Semlin. He was accompanied by his uncle apo'" • two Aides-de-Camp. Princess Lubitza is at Kragr' . • j ewitz , . The Malta Times say' General Sir Henry'• - : " His Excellency Lieutenant mor and' Bouverie arrived here last Sunday rag, where a sanded at the Custom-house, at 8 o'clock, of ~ard of honour, c om p o s e d o f th e li g ht co mp an y Pte . ,Loyal Malt a F enc ibl e reg i men t, w i t h reg i men t a l lie ,iour and band, received his Excellency with arms pre sented, the band playing, God save the Queen.' His Excellency was saluted by the garrison, according to his high rank. On account of some recent untoward events, we hear that the arrival o: Sir Henry Bouverie created an universal joy in the minds of the people. In fact, it is clear that the Maltese are now greatly afraid of losing his Excellency —their fears, however, we are happy to say, are totally'unfounded. The Queen of Portugal prorogued the Chambers onthe 18th instant: The birth of the Prince of Wales had caused great joy among the English residents at Lisbon. Lord Ho►vard de Walden was about to give a grand diplomatic dinner on the occasion, and all the vessels of war in the Tagus had been dressed out, and fired royal salutes inhonour of the birth of an heir apparent to the British throne. THE SUN. LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVE6IBER 30, M4l. with the dearness of food, and restrictions on trade, have brought them to their senses." The Somerset County Chronicle observes, in an article on the state of parties--" The Tories, as a party, were destroyed by the Reform Bill. The Whigs, as a party, have now ceased to exist. Far be it from us to assert, as some of our readers appear to have understood it, that Whig principles are destroyed ; we maintain only that the Whigs, as a separate and defined party in the State, are no more. .trpon the ruins of the old parties of Whig and Tory two new parties have arisen, and are in daily. nay, hourly progress of formation, and in them all minor shades of difference must ere long be merged ; they are, Conservative and Radical--the former advocating good government for the people, the latter government by the people." MONEY and COMMEitCIAL NEWS. CITY, MONDAY EVENING. We have had very little doing all day in any of the Markets, and prices were flat, except as regards Spanish Stock. Money was scarce. Consols for im mediate transfer brought 88i to 89, and for the open ing 891 i to 89g. Exchequer bills were depressed to lOs and - 7s. premium, and India Bonds to Is. premium and ls. discount. Bank Stock was dull at 164, and India Stock at 249, being the previous value. The New Three-and-a-11 - elf per Cents. realised only 99 to 981. Spanish Active Bonds were quoted 24i in the morn ing, and 25 to before the close of business. Portu guese New Five per Cents. went up from 324 to 33+ to f, while the Three per Cents. were at 20. Brazil Bonds were marked 581, and Colombian Dutch Two-and. a-Half per Cents. were 52k to S. There was no positive decline in the Share Market, but very little inclination existed to do business. Great Western Railway Shares were at 1411- to rs+, and South Western 16a to 1 i prem. Brighton were 131 to 131, find North Midland 35 discount. PUBLIC orxririori:-. The Times relates several revolting particulars respect ing the treatment to which paupers are subjected in the workhouse at Seven Oaks; and after observing that their health has been sacrificed " to the maintenance of the prohibitory orders of the Poor-law Commissioners," goes on to state that—" In February all the children in the house, of both sexes (except two or three infants) had the itch; about a dozen had bad feet and chilblains, with the bones of their toes protrudin g , i n consequence of neglett. On the 29th of April Mr. Adams reported to the Board that there were then in the house 78 boys and 94 girls and infant children; that all the boys had enlargement of the neck, and 42 had likewise goitres; that of the girls and infants, 91 had enlarged glands at the back of the neck, and 63 also goitres. Mr. Harris, the present medical officer, states, that in June there were 26 boys and 52 girls ill with goitres ;' and almost the same number, though there v " - s then Duly n improvement among th e b o y s . In - .. when, the hok.:€e heihg harvest-time was coming on, and _agust (just wh en almost empty of able-he -P. accommodation ~ ~uied men, additithial temporary had a1m0,.• ~as afforded to the children) the disease M r. disappeared, In answer to a question from . .i.ufnell, Mr. Harris observed, that ftferenee to his private practice, glandular disellses were much more numerous in the house than out of # ; ' and to another questioner replied, that of course a crowded state of any house must be pernicious to health.' "—These are crying evils that should be at once remedied ; the wonder is, how they have been so long permitted to exist without a rigid investigation, The Post has a leading article oh I.llb stilkitet of Lord John Russell's reply to thecolhplithentary address lately presented to him by the inhabitant's of Plymouth, in the course of which our Contemporary makes the following remarks :—" The allusion to the repeal of the Roman Catholic disabilities is peculiarly unfortunate. The Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel changed their course upon the Roman Catholic question as Lord Melbourne and Lord John Russell have changed theirs upon the question of the Corn-law. The differ ences between the circumstances of the two cases are only these—the former statesmen did not change when they were on the eve of being turned out"— 'The difference between the two changes is just this The Tories changed on the subject of Catholic emanci pation from expe di ency ; t h e Whi gs c h anged on the subject of adopter the Corn-law from conviction. The l a tt er an altered system of policy from the force of "7;,asoning and observation ; the former, because they knew that otherwise they could not maintain themselves in power. , As far as Sir Robert Peel is con cerned; he took special care not to change his views of the Catholic question, till his great rival—we should rather say his immeasurable superior—Mr. Canning, was dead, though the necessity for a change was quite as obvious during the closing years of this stateman's life, as after his death. . . .... The Herald, speaking of the attempts of the Puseyites to have an 'Oxford Professor of Poetry of their own, re marks as follows :—" How much Puscyism has already spread by means of poetry, is well known to all who have read the writings of .I‘ll. Keble himself, the most amiable of men, and the ' Tom Moore' of Puseyites. If the ladies are to be made Puseyites, it must be done by hymns to altars and candlesticks—by aspirations to the Virgin, and by addresses to female saints and martyrs. The ' Lyra Poetica' must be attuned to the notes of r. Williams, whilst the ' Lyre Logica' remains in all its dissonance, to be scraped by Archbishop King:and Archbishop Whateley, with an occas i ona l dirge -from Messrs. Newman and Pusey..

If all Tories thought like him, tete would not be much to say against the party t if all acted with the integrity which he has ittrariably display with "respect to Irish affairs, the rule of the Tories ilipuld be no, grunt calamity to Ireland.

Ho has not JO independence of his party that violent partisans enjoy e- Hinaaanot net liberally in reli ance on the confidence;jof bigots. He goes to Ireland with his Irish policy 1 old; of peculiar suspicion in the eyes of all the Irish • supporters of the Ad ministration of which he is a member. He must have found by this time that he has not yet succeeded in winning from O'Connell the confidence of the Irish people ; and he must surmise that it will take him many a day to do so. Not trusted by the Irish people, he can only full bkek on the Orangemen. He must earn their favour by his acts ; he must show that he has not those dangerous Liberal tendencies of which he is suspected." —Lord Eliot is placed Just now in a false position, and the time is not far distant when he will find out his mis take in accepting the delicate office of Irish Secretary to an avowedly Orange Government,. At present, he is looked on with a wary, distrustful'eye both by Tc;y and Liberal, and cannot stir a - Step, either to the right or left, without diving cause of offence. We aub3tun some observations from the Dublin Evening Post on Earl be Grey's system of policy : "With resputt to his officials, from his Secretary down agents, and, above all, his press, this Nobleman, we repeat it, is most unfortunate. Mystified and cajoled by those around him, he speedily became their tool, while, poor simple gentleman, he thought he was acting the master. Vowing and promising, and almost swear ing, either with his own proper lips, or vicariously through the delicate organs of his poor Secretary, that his administration in Ireland should be a pattern article, one of his first steps was the appointment of one of the most notorious and offensive partisans in the kingdom to the office of Confidential Adviser. From that moment the difficulties of Lord De Grey commenced." The following remarks appear in the Cambrian : " Two principles at the present moment are agitating the country, namely, the principle of Conservatism and that of Progress. If the former should triumph, the people, bowed down by the iron hand of monopoly and feudality, exhausted, like an inorg an i c material mass, for the profit and pleasure of the few, have no other hope, as it appears to us, than t o sink down into the condition of the Chinese, or to bury beneath the grave the burden of their wretchedness." Speeking of the necessity of union among the people, the Bolton Free Pres.c says —" The people have good reason to be jealous of the middle clas ses , b ut t h e y ma y carry this jealousy too far. It is only by gra d ua l ad vances that an effectual union of our divided political parties is to be obtained. If the fair, and perhaps, at first, only partial overtures, of a portion of tho middle classes, are to be scornfully rejected by the people, that union in which our common strength consists will be impossible. And, let it be remembered that there must be two parties to the grand desideratum of a Political Union, which is to tell on our monopolising, aristocrati cal Legislature." The Dundee Chronicle remarks, with reference to the recent spread of incendiarism—" Whilst these fires are embarrassing the Government, the Government is em barrassing the people. The people are becoming more restless and discontented, and, we may add, disaffected towards the Government. Even men who supported the Tories at the late election, are tired of waiting for the benefits expected from the Tory Ministry. It is easy, during strong party excitement, to shout for the Tories ; but that excitement which prevailed during the election has assed away, and the badneos of times, coupled 0 IVIO NEY — TAADE—COMMEIR,CE. The Gosport branch of the London and South Wes tern Railway was opened on Saturday last. At the din ner given on the occasion, it was stated that the journey from Gosport to London could now be performed in three hours and a half, and that 15,000 persons on one side the harbour, and 60,090 on the other, would be be nefitted by the railway lh their trade and commerce. The trades of Glasgow held a meeting in the City Hall, in refi:rence to the strike of the masons at the Houses of Parliament, last Tuesday. The conduct of Allen was severely reprobated, and a committee ap pointed to watch over the interests of the operative cla!se 9 -, to be convened when requisite. At Bristol, within the last few weeks, several hundred hands have been discharged from the yards of the ship builders, engineers, glass-works, and other factories. One large house in the glass trade has its warehouse full of goods, upon which duty to the amount of 20,0001. has been paid, but can find no outlet for them. Another house in the same trade has stopped altogether twelve weeks, but they still pay the men half wages. The shipping trade, too, of the port was never known in so deplorable a state. STA:MT/CO. The expatriation caused by the Corn-laws will be evident from the subjoined figures. From 1821 to 1831 the number of emigrants was 209,230, or 20,923 per annum: from 1832 to 1839 (both'inolusive) the number was 529,247 or 66,155 per annum, an increase of more than 3to 1. But the latest and worst return was in the last year 1840. which showed the enormous number of 87,346, or nearly one-fifth of the whole increase of the population during that period.

It is suggested that the best way of disposing of the fuzed gun metal of the Tower would be to convert it into medals, crosses, and vases, to be given to the soldiers of every grade now alive who have served in the Pe ninsula. SPORTING. The next Ascot Cup is to be the work of Mr. Cotte rill, and the subject chosen by him is the " Wilde Jager" of the German poet Burger, which Sir W. Scott has translated.

The Queen, we understand, has already sketched a likeness of the infant Prince, which will immediately be lithographed. The resemblance is said to be perfect, and the circumstances under which it was made cannot fail of giving to it an interest peculiarly its own.

The reports respecting the Queen Dowager's health, which get into circulation in Sudbury village are of the most favourable description. On Friday her Majesty was well enough to be removed from her chamber in the upper or first floor which she has constantly occupied in Sudbury Hall since the commencement of her illness, and which has an easterly aspect, to a room on the ground floor, looking west, and facing the lake and ter race attached to the house. MISCELLANEOUS. The Paisley deputation, after endeavouring, without success, to see the Duke of Wellington on their arrival in London, ultimately received a note from him, worded thus :—" The Duke pays every attention it is in his power to the distresses at Paisley as elsewhere, but he must again decline to receive the visit of the deputation from Paisley. *He begs the deputation to observe that he is not in the Queen's political service—that he does not fill any political office, and exercises no power or authority.

Felix Pyet's celebrated drama Les Deux Serruriers was pro duced at this theatre last evening, under the title of 77w Two Locksmiths, or Poverty and Crime. We do not wonder at the tremendous run which this drama has had on the Continent. For two hundred nights has all Paris being 'crowding to witness it. The situations are most ingeniously contrived, and the characters strongly drawn, and admirably developed, while the inte rest increases in intensity up to the very close of the last scene. It is true, that in this, as in all other melodramas, certain circumstances are required to be taken for granted which can scarcely be supposed to have happened. Such, for instance, as that the most promising student of the University of Oxford should, on being suddenly reduced to poverty, gain his living by working A a journeyman locksmith; or that a rich banker, after having been knave enough to cheat his own brother out of an inheritance, by purloining a will, should have been fool enough to keep the said will for years locked up in his iron repository. Why did he not destroy it? This is a question somewhat difficult to an swer; but we feel much obliged to him for not having done so, inasmuch as the preservation of that will has secured to us one of the most effec tive dramas we have ever witnessed. The banker, Murray, the rich villain, was well per formed by Mr. Neville. The virtuous locksmith, George Davis, who turns out to be Murray's ne phew, the son of the brother interested in the will to which we have before alluded, found an able representative in Mr. N. T. Hicks, to whose energetic praises of virtuous poverty, and fierce denunciations of heart-corrupting Mammon, the gods, as in duty bound, responded by thunders of applause. Mrs. Henry Vining, as the banker's daughter, and the beloved of George Davis, was ex cee dingly interesting ; and Smith, as a drunken servant, acted to the life. These characters, however, may almost be called the common place of melodrama ; but there is one character in this piece which is quite original, that of Paul Burl, the thievish locksmith, the man who would fain be the Mephistopheles of Davis, were not the virtue of the latter proof against temptation. We have recently had books on the philosophy of everything, down to the tying a cravat. Paul Burl is the very man to write a book on the philosophy of thieving. He argues the morality of dishonesty excellently. Take, as an example, his answer to one ,of Davis's high-flown eulogies on probity. "Ah ! it is all very well to talk about probity while you have a shilling in your pocket, and bakers' shops are open ; but when the money is all gone, and the baker's shop is shut, the probity flies up to Heaven, or to some place w h e re people live without eating, or where quartern loaves are given away gratis." He is astute enough to see through the hypocrisy of words. " Thieving is a nasty word," says the p hil o sophic Burl; " call it working !" He fights society with its own weapons, turning its con ventionalisms against itself with admirable tact, or, which is the same thing, with consummate impudence. This character was admirably per formed by Mr. Henry Hughes, who evidently com pletely comprehende d the meaning of his aut hor, and entered thoroughly into the spirit of the character. - -We have never seen anything better in its way than the Paul Burl of this gen tleman. The piece, which was loudly applauded throughout, was announced for repetition every evening. The house was well filled. MATERIALS FOR HisToRY.--The Prefect of the Dordogne has adopted a system which, if general, would be invaluable to the historian. He has opened a register, in which is to be inscribed, with due authen tications' a summary statem en t o f every remarkable eve nt that occurs within his department s such as the erections and demolitions of public or private buildings of interest, important occurrences, storms, epidemic dis eases, acts doing honour to individuals and families, in short, every event and circumstance which may.fpraish historical materials for posterity, LITERATURE. MIDDLETON'S LIFE OF CICERO. Part Moron, London, 1841. For this re-publication, in cheap monthly Parts, of the learned Dr. Middleton's well-known " Life of Cicero," we are indebted to the judgment and enterprise of Mr. Moxon. The present Part concludes the life of the illustrious Roman statesman, whose character is pourtrayed by his indefatigable biographer with great elaborate ness, but in a spirit rather more encomiastic, perhaps, than strict justice would warrant. CURIOSITIES OF LITERATURE. Part fir Moron, London, 1841. The Part before us forms a portion of the twelfth edition of Mr. D'lsraeli's " Curiosities of Literature," a work which has long since taken its place among the foremost of its class, and is to be found, as a matter of course, on the shelves of all who profess to be book-collectors. The edi tion is proposed to be completed in eight half crown Monthly Parts, of which the present one is the third. DRAMATIC WORKS OF WYCHERLEY, CON. GREVE, VANBR UGH, 4-c. MOXO7I, London, 1841. This is another of Mr. Moxon's cheap repub lications, and is prefaced with pertinent biogra phical notices from the pen of Mr. Leigh Hunt. A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON MISDE MEANOURS, by Humphry G. Woolrych, of the Inner Temple, Barrister-at-Law. Shaw and Sons, London. Mr, Woolrych having been engaged for some T.:ars on a general work, embracing the whole of the Criminal Law, together with that branch of it which relates to procedure, has just published that portion of it which treats of misdemeanours. This, as every lawyer knows, is a very exten sive field, embracing about five hundred different kinds of offences; and when the uncertainty of the law, the endless varieties which these offences exhibit under different circumstances, and the conflicting results of actions for abate ment, are taken into account, it will he seen that the task is one of no ordinary magnitude. The author has classified the cases under eight dis tinct sections, quoting all the statutes, and the uio.-o,remarkable actions for misdemeanours ) with the names of the parties, at th e same t i me making ni 2nerous judicious co mmen t s , b ot h arising out oi. peculiar circumsta n c e s, an d ° the opinions of the Judges who t r i e d them. It is, in i c:lct, a practical trea tise, and will be fount: extremely useful, not only to the general pr:ctitioner, but to the public in general. We direc t the attention of a certain class of persons to thefollowing statute, Vict. c. 36, s. 32, for the protec" . . jor of printed votes and proceedings in Parliament, . 13(1 printed newspapers sent by the post:—" It is enacted that every person employed in the Post office, who shall steal, or shall for any purpose embezzle, secrete, or destroy, any printed votes or proceedings in Parliament, or any printed newspaper, or any other printed paper what ever, sent by the post, without covers, or in covers open at the sides, shall, in England and Ireland, be guilty of a misde meanour, and in Scotland of a crime and offence; and being convicted thereof, shall suffer such punishment by fine or imprisonment, or by both, as to the Court shall seem meet." In a note it is added—with Or without hard labour, and soli tlry confinement, fat a period not exceeding two years, the solitary confinement not to exceed one month at a time, or three months in one year. A PRACTICAL TRIIATISE ON THE L 4 W OF DISTRESS. By Edward Buten, Esq., Special Pleader. Shaw and Sons, London. This work was begun with the assistance of the late Mr. Chitty, jun., and was intended to have been the joint production of that gentleman and Mr. Millen, on whom the death of Mr. Chitty threw the completion of the undertaking. Sue a publication was much wanted, as no new work on the Law of Distress has been published for the last thirty years, and no new edition of any ex. isting treatise on the subject for thirteen years. Great care appears• to have been bestowed iu arranging the complicated details, usages, and statutes, on a branch of law of every day's practice, and affecting so many interests ; and it may safely be recommended as the best treatise on the subject which has yet been published. It contains a chapter on the Tithe Commutation Rent Charge and the Distress for its Recovery. This, of course, is entirely new, as the Tithe Commutation Act has been in existence only for a few years. SCHLOSS' BIJOU ALMANACK. A. Schloss, London, 1841. This little Almanack, which is scarcely bigger than one's thumb-nail, has now reached its seventh year of publication, and is certainly the smallest thing of its age we ever saw. Yet, not withstanding its Lilliputian dimensions, it con tains not less than seven poems from the pen of Mrs. Norton, together with a useful almanack, and six portraits of distinguished authors, artists, and actors, whose features are plainly enough to be discerned, through the medium of a pair of spectacles. The work is certainly the greatest literary curiosity of the day, and is enclosed in a handsome case made of rich green velvet, bound with gold. CHILD'S BOOKS. By the Rev. T. WILSON. Darton and Clark. A philosopher has aptly compared the mind of childhood, to a fair tablet or unwritten blank. On this, education is destined to imprint those thoughts or precepts which, according to the nature of their tendency, form the individual into a member of society, either malevolent or good. Hence it becomes apparent how sacred is the charge intrusted to those into whosesoever hands the cultivation of our English youth is delivered ; and how infinite the care that should be exercised in regard to such books as are in tended to form the rising mind; for under the guidance of good instructions alone, will the in fant mind be made hereafter to blossom, like Aaron's rod, with the true a lmond-flowers of virtue. There are a number of English names to whom society ought to be deeply thankful for the unexceptiOpably good family and educational hOoks, they have produced. Dr. Watts, Mrs. Barbauld, Miss Mitford, Maguall, Blai r , and Pinnock, have severally aided this excellent in tent, and rejoiced in causing pure and practical developments of infant mind.

CATECHISM OF COMMON TIIINGS.—The first part is explanatory of articles of common con sumption and commerce, and the intention i s to e make ver y tthhi n g the child d that comes acquainted w b i r t e ht f h a s e t ,h nature t e o composition of his breadda a t ily breakfast him. The con sistency of his butter, the travels and history of his basin of milk or tea, appear explained in these diminutive pages rather as pleasing infor mation than a task: moreover, if the tiny scho lar be industriously disposed, lie may become learned, like an incipient chemist, in the virtues of assaketida, or the origin of Friars'-balsam. Th lm, e a tl , ii e rd hr c o a n t n e l c o h gy ism , scz. explains the intricate terms of 2. FIRST CATECHISM OF BIBLE Hisroßy. The leading events and personages of the Old and New Testaments appear expounded in the form of questions, which are so framed as to ex cite youthful curiosity, and of answers which readily satisfy it. 3. NATURAL PHILOSOPHY FOR CHILDREN. — Dr. Arnott wonderfully simplified the study of the laws and appearances of nature, but these little books,_ with explanat ions of g ravitation and co hesion, the lever and fulcrum, asteroids and planispheres, m ight advantageously be consulted by older students; while their simplicity p u t s them on a level with the capacity of the youngest. 4. CATECHISM OF THE HISTORY OF ENGLAND. —Next to the one published by Mr. Trines some few years since, no brochure has better managed to mingle with the train o f events historic anec dotes, that at the same time engage the fancy, and furnish the mind with facts. FASHIONS FOR DECEMBER. (From the London and Paris Ladies Magazine of Fashion). Manteaux vary from one which is little more than a large pelerine to the long one reaching the feet ; cut biais, almost without a seam, they hang very-wells- and, are simple ; short manteaux a l'Espagnol are cut .as a very large pelerine, en biais, falling in folds, with small square collar ; they are made of coloured velvets, lined with satin or ermine. Pelisse cloaks are made of black or violet velvet, with revers and facings embroidered. in cordonnet, and lined with silk of the same colour more simple ones are made of levantine, with pelerino of velvet, of the same colour. Large pelerines, or capes, are worn in Paris, of black velvet, lined with deep blue or vblet silk, fastening at the throat with a cordeliere or brandenbourgs ; another manteau, termed cloches. is without hood or cape, the fulness guaged on the shoulders. Velvet is very much used to trim and ornament dresses, and, though flounces of the same material as: the dress are not approved, those of lace continue to be, worn, particularly black lace on dark dresses. The cor-. sages continue to be made tigNt, with point or rounded point ; and sleeves are still tighi,. but sometimes a cea lisses ; the skirts are worn very iong, almost training. Redingotes are made with revers, and pelerines of velvet ; those of toile de laine are made very high, closing with buttons ; corsages are also made with flat folds from the shoulder to the waist ; skirts are still orizamented, ea tablier, with bouillons, fringes, &c. In Paris the pelerine is quite the fashion of the moment. The pelerine camail is well adapted for the morning neglige ; made a little smaller they embeli.ish the other dresses, and ornament the plain body, parti cularly when finished with rich fringes or lace ; they will also be worn in full dress of black or white lace, sometimes formed of one piece, or of rows of lace laid on plain, forming square. The bonnets now worn are very pretty : the crown is low, and the former, narrowing over the forehead, widens at the cheeks ; the corners are sometimes a little turned up. Velvet, velours epingle, satins, &c. are the materials used, and the colours are ra ther dark ; feathers are universally worn, and flowers of velvet, or with feuillage of velvet : some are made without bavolet, and satin bonnets a coulisses have ruches of tulle between each runner. Caps a la Puritaine arc formed of lappets of lace, with eoques of velvet fixed in the centre, in each of which there is a pearl button. Coiffures ala rosiere, ala Chatelaines, a l'lsabeau, are amongst the fashionable caps now worn ; i❑ dress hats, petits bores Victoria, hats a la Jean Bart, turbans a jours, are all in favour, in the shades of mats paille, mineral blue, sable d'Egypte, and Giselle a rouge. Velvet flowers of brilliant colours are made both to ornament caps, or for the bead. ROYAL CALEDONIANHUNT.—By the deaths of the late Earl of Houle, Marquis of Lothian, and Earl of Elgin, within so short a time of each other, three va cancies require to be filled up in the Caledonian Hunt. —Edinburgh Courant. We understand the first iron steamer ever built in Wales is now making by the Neath Abbey Iron Company, to be called the Prince of Wales."—The PUBLIC NUISANCE.—.We have repeatedly; called the attention of the parish authorities and the Government officers who have the charge of the property belonging now to the Infant Duke of Lancaster in the ' Strand, to the dangerous state of several of the' houses in thi2t quarter. The hou se N 0.126 was t a k en d own some t h ree _months ago, the foot pavement in front of it has been sC. 4 treely passable since, and, as far as can be ascei.,,4ained from the. operations going on, three months more must pleted. But this only the smallest p ar t o f th e grilv ance of which the public have good reason to complain- The houses on each side ,r)f the site are actually danger ous to the inhabitants in the neighbourhood, as well as to the vast crowds that are daily passing along the Strand. Last night all the beams except on,' thrown across Savoy str..,et to support the tottering fabric' next to the house which has been pulled down, gave way with a tremen dous crash, and it was only by a miracle that a gen tleman who was passing escaped with his life. We should not be surprised, if, before the morning, the house: fell, and buried in its ruins the Globe newspaper office which now adjoins it. The parish authorities show great negligence in not indicting the lessees, for endangering the lives of her Majesty's subjects. In consequence of the failure of the Chichester Old Bank, a meeting was held on behalf of the Chiches-- ter Infirmary, the whole of their funds being deposited in the Bank. Lord George Lennox proposed that a subscription be immediately set on foot, when, in the ' s j;ort space of 12 hours, upwards of 5001. was subscribed.. nip unday evening, about five o'clock, a young woman, named Emma Wardlow. a dressmaker, in the. employ of Mrs, ;Macmillan, of White Horse-street, Lam beth, committed st2r-destruction. She complained to her mistress of being low,Rpirited, and said she thought that she should go out acrd call upon her sister, instead of which she walked to the river side, and when nearly op posite the Penitentiary, Millbank, brew herself into the water, and was instantly car:ied down with the current. . - During the last few days we hare experienced tremendous gales at Weymouth, 3rying front the N.

We regret to state that ,vqars are entertained of a vessel having gone to pieces in the West Bay, during the awful storm of Saturday night week, a% no fewer than four bodies-have been seen - in the wash of the sea near the shore, one of,them that of a woman.—Dorset Chron. The following statement from the Number of Tailg Magazine just published, illustrates the mis chievous consequences of the attempt of the followers of Sir A. Agnew to subvert the Christian character of the first day of the week by engrafting onit someof the obso lete restrictions of the Jewish Sabbath :—" The recent at -, - tempt toprevent the running of coaches on, and even to stop• the conveyance of the mail by, the Edinburgh and Glas gow railway on Sunday, has already had a serious influ ence in depreciating the stock. No longer ago than 28th July last, when 401. a share had been paid, the shares were selling at 391. 10s.; now that other 101. per share have been paid, they are only worth 441. 55. Since the stopping of the trains on Sunday has been so much agi tated, the price has sunk rapidly ; so that, taking into account the interest on the instalments, about 71. per share have been lest during four months; and seeing that there are 18,000 shares, the proprietors of this single railway have lost within four months, 126,0004 by the attempt to enforce an ultra-puritanical observance of the Sunday. The Stockholm papers mention that the Jury has ac quitted the publishers of the Swedish translation of Strauss's "Life of Christ," against whom proceedings. had been opened by the Government. THE PRINCE OF WALES.—A meeting of the Noblemen and Gentlemen, Commissioners of Supply, was s held County o n ri T al turs r d a aa - I , e at y,.

This, in addition to the exuberant feeling of loyal satisfaction so generally experienced at the late joyous event, was in all proba bility partly occasion e d by vionsly announced hi s i Mr. Wallace, having pre the Address, for the intention to move an addition to Majesty the he artrending distress purpose of communicating to her that district. On the willingness t o call Convener, however, professing his . with Mr. ano ther county meeting, in accordan ce and loyal addresses were Wallace's views,ws, the amendment was not pu t, unanimously agreed to. Sir James Graham left town on Sunday by the nine o'clock L ondon and Birmingham train for Netherby land. Lor &Bexley and th* Rev.

The following from Geneva, of the 19th inst. : is given by the Debats .—" The Council of State as sembled to-day, and wishing to anticipate the demandsowing of public opinion, resolved to make the foll changes :—A reduction in the numbers of the raembors of the Council ; a partition of the initiative between the two Councils ; an acknowledgment of the right of petitioning ; a repeal of the second paragraph of the Constitution, by which no alteration can be made in the constitutional Charter without the assent of a majority of two-thirds in the two Councils. These amendments are said to have been voted, after a long and animated debate, by two-thirds of the members of the Council. It is, however, doubted whether this measure will calm the agitation which is increasing ; it being feared that the people will consider the conces sions as calculated to put out of their minds 'the two thief reformatio ns demanded b y the Ass ociation of March 3 , viz. , a wide reform in the electoral la w , and a general municipal law for the whole can t o n. However this may be, it is now certain that the Constitution 1814 will be modified. We are assured that the C o of State, anticipating the leg al period for the w ouncil tion of the legislative body , has fixed itsrivma.
