SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S, S. S. t The great and wonderful Velocipede is at 12 to 1, and 11 ' 4 Others creeping up in consequence. Velocipede, it ap ‘4, is a screw, and the shortness of the time renders it 4:eiq' great odds against his wincing the St. Leger. No d ° II than 10 to 1 has been offered against him, but Jour ti e ', Noce% is backed at 5 to 4 against him, nobody will th " the odds to any amount, and it is perhaps owing to ' t i t fact that no higher odds are offered.

Richard Bucheridge was indicted for assaulting Juhn Rushby. The defendant is a peace officer, and according to the evidence in support of the indictment, it appeared that he followed the example of all well disposed Governments, ' 4 4 sought to secure peace by going to war. The proe tiger's mouth was the field of action, and sustaining junag e from the conflict, he sought the aid of his Majesty lue King of Great Britain, to redress the grievance. The P L t neecutor in stating his case; did so with all the int, t portance which the occasion demanded, suiting Zword to the action, as the defendant had evieusly s u i te d t h e action to the word. The prosecutor's roman Was the historian upon the part of the prosecutor, 1 414 . P. neighbouring watchman was the Plutarch of the pri ?l*; but, alas ! their narratives clearly proved how ittl e history is to be relied upon, for though each had °!nlar demonstration, and each was sworn to the truth of statement, which we believe was not the case with t t i nher Plutarch, Gibbo,,, or other c e lebrated histo r i ans , y e t ntY flatly contradi c t e d eac h ot h er, and his Ma j esty of Eng land, th ere f ore, withdrew his aid from an ally whose merits so problematical.

Y to be equalled by the appropriately vehement action , 4 7ich distinguished her oratory ; and the display of the msfendant was only inferior to that of her great antagonist. (S he Weighs at a rough guess about 20 stone.) fMr. PHILLIPS said, that neither party was to blame ; at the battle was entirely brought on by General Gin, tk whom the plaintiff, he asserted, was very much at .. bed, but he served her a trick in the engagement, and lunglit her to the ground, though the defendant was under h er taking into consideration the weight of the pro a severer punishment need hardly be inflicted.

IMPROPER CONDUCT OF WATCHMEN. ... J , 4 'nes Len nox was tw i ce i n di cted for assaulting two 4;!hrilen belonging to the parish of Norton Folgate. tinre of th e watchmen deposed that he went to the King Qtassu public-h ouse , i n N orton F o l gate, to take the t'tn:fondant f rom thence, at eleven o'clock, when he resisted, this was the a ssau lt comp l a i ne d of : H e f urther said t the prosecution was instituted by the parish. Mr. C. P nruars-..-It is no such thing. A Person n ear t h e witness—Yes it is. I pay the ex pellees. Mr. PHILLIPS_.B y the authority of the parish. The emue person. —I will charge them to the parish. d o men of the Jury, this is a most scandalous transac !t' There are two indictments arising out of one rsosaction. The fact is, that my client instead of assault '4, was the party assaulted. He was asking for another Nita of liquor, when he was seized by the collar by the watchman, who proce e ded to eject him from the house, aid in the scuffle he was knocked down and beaten by t heft; and not content with this, they framed two indict- Nuts instead of one, for which the pariah is to be called 4 Pon to defray the expences, although they have given no L t llthority whatever for the prosecution. But this not all, Gentlemen. While he was on the Maud, he was beaten by them, and when taken tothe wa t c h-h ouse, a person w h o had witnessed the t 44 saction, told hi m th a t h e wou ld come f orwar d i n hi s 14 1 f before the Magistrates and bail him; upon which i r guardi a n s - o f the night seized him, and actually in leted him for a rescue at the last Sessions, where he was '4ltoediately acquitted. I:‘Mr. PHILLIPS then called a person named Sweetman, , 1, .0 depos e d th at he saw the watchmen beat the prisoner +th sticks, and immediately told them not to ill-use him. They then took him to the watch-house, where he fol ,*ell, toul told th e pr i soner t h at he would come forward 14 " 4 1 state the manner in which he was ill-used. The watch o4ll j usirtediately said_." What, you want to rescue him, to ;You? but we'll prevent you," and they accordingly O it 4 him into custody, and he was sabsequently tried and uit teds for Ise had never interfered at all in the matter than by speech.

The Duke. of CLA ItENCE experienced, a few days ago, a spasmodic attack, from the effects of which his Royal Highness, we are happy to state, is now nearly re covered. His Royal Highness was engaged yesterday, during a great portion of the day, transacting official busi ness at his residence at Bushy Park, with his Private 'Se cretary. Sir H. Har.roan attends the Royal Duke. The Duke of WELLINGTON came to town yesterday morning from his seat at Strathfieldsaye. His Grace hail conferences at the Treasury with the Austrian Ambassador, the Earl of Aaeanksy, and Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD. The Austrian Ambassador, the Prussian Mi.

Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD left town yesterday to join a party at the se a t o f the Earl of WESTMORLAN at Apthorpe, Northamptonshire. DOVER, SEPT. 7.—Among the arrivals from Calais yesterday were the Duke and Duchess of ST. ALBAN'S, and three carriages. They breakfasted at the Ship Inn ; and on departing for London, the cavalcade had somewhat the appearance of a Lord 11.1.)or'sehow ; for the post-boys that &ore her Grace's carriage were dressed it yellow satin jackets, with a broad purple satin belt, and purpl e velvet caps, with gold lace enough hanging from the crown of each to furnish a drunt•major's jacket. Whether the use of this finery was a special but silly act of atten tion on the part of Mr. WRIGHT, or a special order from the Duchess, Ido riot know ; but certainly, poor woman, she cut a must laughable appearance, and so the spectators seemed to think, for they were highly amused. On Wednesday last, two fine woodcocks were killed by G. P. Is,visE, Esq. in the woods of Sir WM. CLINMING GORDON of Altyre.--Inverness Journal, HAYMARKET THEATRE. After the Opera of Clari, in which Mrs. WAYLETT, as the heroine, acquitted herself with her usual good sense and tenderness, a new piece en titled, the Barber Baron, was produced. As this was unsuccessful in an eminent degree, we shall say little more of it, than that its fate was richly merited. As ' if the bad puns with which it abounds were not sufficiently disgusting, the public was farther nau seated by one of the most flagitious pieces of down right blasphemy, it has ever been our misfortune to hear. In the first or second act (we forget which), Miss GLOVER says to REEVE, " I must lay the cloth for my Lord's supper ;" to which he rejoins, " Oh yes, bra means lay the cloth for 11w L or d' s sup per ;" a reply, which he pointed in a way that sufficiently stamped the allusion. Now if this be an interpolation on the part of Mr. REEVE (though from our knowledge of that gentleman's general de corum we can scarcely suppose it), we have only to observe that it is of so offensive and insulting a nature, that be deserves to be hissed for ever from a stage which he has disgraced by it; if it be the author's own joke, then it is still worse, as having been more premeditated. In either case it is a gratuitous insult, not merely to the religious, but even to the social feelings of the community, and as such should be deeply and promptly resented. Mr. MORRIS will surely sot fill his house by this attempt to rival the Areopagus; nor will the saintly sensibilities of the licenser be more admired, for having allowed it to pass muster. COBURG THEATRE. A dramatic satire, in one act, entitled Wives by Advertisements, or Courting in the Newspapers, was produced last night at this theatre, to which we of course resolved, being bachelor., to pay all due at• tention, being in some measure a party interested. We were, it is true, somewhat alarmed that it was an attempt to destroy one of the mast profitable sources of income attached to a newspaper, and in this we were not much disappointed ; but then we consoled ourselves with the reflection that all such attempts must be considered hopeless in the face of the astounding fact, that these species of advertise ments have been trebled since the publicity of Cor der's trial and confession, in which latter he admits that he received upwards of 90 answers to his "little production," as Miss Broomblossom so sentimentally calls her's, in the Morning Herald. Having our minds at ease upon this point, we felt better dis posed to enjoy whatever the spirited proprietors of this very pretty theatre might have prepared for our enjoyment; nor were we startled by the line, printed in most carefully legible letters, as a nota bene in the bills," Wedding Rings may be had at the Box-office or in the Saloon." The fact is, we were determined to be pleased, and if we quitted the theatre in the same state of single blessedness in which we went thither, it must have bee n b ecause we ourse l ves . . lacked those attractions requisite to attract the eye of beauty, the Managers having found every thing ex cept the Parson, of who m no ment i on was made in the bills, at which circumstance several of our acquain tances, more remarkable for gallantry than sincerity, were not a little delighted. Love light as air;" but the quotation is hackneyed, and we will there fore refrain from being poetical. The piece is a good-humoured, good-natured, and laughable attempt to shew the easy way in which those may be duped, who are such simpletons (and alas, nine out of ten young folks are but simpletons in the ways of the world) as to confide in the de scription which an advertiser thinks proper to give of his own qualifications, mental and corporeal. The advertisers are the lion. JenAins Cigar, with twenty aliases, and Miss Broomblossom, an elderly female, always exclaiming against the immorality of the age. They advertise under the initials A. B. and J. C., and the Blue Lion, Wapping (how sentimental !) is the place appointed for the interview. Here the parties answering each adver tisement meet, and a scene, very extravagant, it is true, but still very amusing, keeps the audience in one continued roar of laughter. The scene termi nates by one of the candidates for matrimony being taken up by the parish beadle for deserting his wife and family, and this ma! a propos proceeding takes place just as he is on the point of being united to Miss Broonzblossom, who takes him for a Captain in the • Navy, whey he is, in fact, only the humble sweeper of a street-crossing, an occupation to which he has taken after having left his ears in the pillory.-- Cigar is taken up as a swindler, as he is about to be equally successful with a fair damsel, who had answered his advertisement ; and after these disco veries the whole concludes with the folloning epilogue : EPILOGUE.

DAVIDGE performed the part of Laura with much animation, and Mr. WI NNE, who made his first appearance at this Theatre last night, performed the part of Lovejoke with great spirit and propriety. This gentleman will certainly be a great acquisition to the theatre, notwithstanding the unfortunate ac cident which has deprived him of the use of his left hand. Mr. LEWIS, who is in fact the LISTON at the Coburg, was very happy in the representation of the Honourable Jenkins Cigar, but were we to go through all the actors who acquitted themselves re spectfully, our task would be endlesS; still we cannot conclude without mentioning Mr. LARKINS, whom we believe we have hitherto neglected. He sang the " Bay of Biscay" last night with such effect as to produce a rapturous encore--and the gods themselves entered so far into the spirit of this naval ditty, that they invariably joined in the chorus.— The house, as usual, was extremely crowded. MSS SMITHSON, the favourite and most po pular actress at the English theatre in Paris, is said to be engaged for a limited number of nights by the lessee of Covent-garden Tkeatre, where she will appear early im the season in the character of Juliet ; Mr. CKARLES KEISIBLE will perform Romeo. FROM A CORRESPONDENT.---Si r , you will be serving the cause of humanity by giving immediate publicity to the following facts :—At Walham-green there is now lying in a dangerous state a young man who took oxalic acid, by mistake for Epsom salts. The acid salt was purchased at a small shop in the above place, which had been recently supplied by a druggist in Knightsbridge, and it has since been ascertained that out of twelve ousee parcels sent ten were oxalic acid. Another discovery has been since made by another shopman in Fulham, who fin Epsom salts was furnished with a pound of oxalic acid in ounce-parcels. Now surely, Sir, such very frequent in stances of culpable mistake with this dangerous salt, de mand the interference of the Legislature. Perhaps a large penalty in every case of mistake would render druggists more careful,—l remain, Sir, your's, &c, A , l, P. LITERATURE. JOURNAL of TRAVELS to ST. PETERSBURGH. By A. B. GRANVILLE, M.D. 2 Vols. Bvo. Travellers, says Sterne, may be divided into two leading classes—the Snte/Yrtngi and the Mundungi. The one are all good-humour, ani mation, and vivacity, willing to make the best of every thing, and to look even at disasters on the sunny side of the question. The others are of the hypochondriacal school, creatures of gloom and spleen, to whom the slightest impediment in the way of their daily comfort is a serious annoy ance ; who can see nothing in the varying forms of external nature, or the strange wonders of art, as they roam from clime to clime under the propelling influence of a restless temperament, but reflections of their own jaundiced turn of mind ; and, in short, who " can travel from I)an to Beersheba, and cry, it is all barren."-- Dr: Granville, fortunately for himself and his readers, is not of this last school ; he belongs exclusively to the former—is cheerful and san guine in his temperament, alive to the blended phznomena of nature and art, patient under pri vations, and sufficiently elastic in mind to be able easily to fall in with the different customs and habits of the numerous nations among whom he takes up his abode. Moreover, lie is of a very charitable caste, speaks ill of no one, and carries this amiable peculiarity to so great a height, that where the subject of his comment is royalty or nobility—a Nicholas, a Constantine, or even a Capo d'lstria,—his eulogium knows no bounds. Certainly the notice of royalty is flatter ing : it is undoubtedly gratifying to be se lected as the object of a lofty Monarch's at tention, amid the pomp of parade and military levee; but still even this, we think, should not blind a man to the truth, nor throw dust in the eyes of a would-be impartial commentator. With the solitary exception of this blemish, Dr. Granville is one of the most judicious and en tertaining travellers we have ever met. He is impartial, charitable, and discriminating ; simple and lucid in his style ; striking, sometimes even picturesque in description ; and, above all things, looks at mankind with a view not to see their weak, but their redeeming points of character. His present volumes are the result of observa tions made during a journey over great part of the Continent, and terminating at St. Peters burgh, towards the close of 1827. The author, it seems, in the autumn of that year, was per suaded to accompany Count Michael Woronzow on his return to Russia, after a summer's resi dence in England, in the capacity of family physician. This circumstance enabled him to see different parts of the Continent under peculiarly flattering auspices ; and at St. Petersburgh especially to controvert, in a great degree, the statements of Clarke and Lyall, which he represents as highly calumnious and unjust towards the Russian character. Dr. Granville and his party left London at the close of July, 1827, and proceeded at once Ihr Brus sels (having previously in their passage across the Channel taken forty-five drops of lau danum as a preservative against sea-sick ness), of which the Doctor gives an ani mated and faithful account. From Brussels they pass by easy stages—noticing whatever was worthy of observation in their progress—to Ber lin, the splendour and extent of which city call forth the admiration of the whole party. On their road hither, they chance to meet the cele brated timber-rafts of the Rhine, of which we have the following account : " The most curious objects of human industry, that are to be met in the course of the navigation on the Rhine, are the celebrated timber-rafts, of one of which I have given a representation in this place. These singular float. ing machines are composed of many thousand trees, dis posed in layers, and properly lashed together. They are frequently from 900 to 1000 feet in length, and from 60 to SO feet in breadth, and draw perhaps as much as six or eight feet of water. They are rowed by SOO men, who are disposed at the end of the float, as seen in the plate. This crew is lodged in atonal' village of wooden huts, neatly erected on the float, presenting a very curious appearance. Every arrangement, as to discipline, provisions, and such other regulations, as are generally prevalent on board of large vessels at - sea, obtains in this case. To these ma chines may with propriety be applied the motto vires ac quit it eundo. For at first starting, they consist of a few trees fastened loosely together, and their more regular con struction by gradual additions, takes place at certain fixed stations, in proportion as the navigation becomes less en tangled, until, at last, the whole assumes the appearance I have described." At Berlin they meet the celebrated Made moiselle Sontag, and are eye-witnesses of the enthusiasm, amounting almost to infatuation, which her singing calls forth in that city. Of this fortunate young lady, Dr. Granville has given a very just and temperate account ; but as his analysis of her style of performance has al ready appeared in several periodical publications, we shall not here venture to resume the subject. On quitting Berlin, the party sets out for St. Petersburgh, through Eastern Prussia, having previously, we should observe, paid a visit to Goethe, at Saxe Weimar, which our author details as follows :- 4. At half-past ten precisely, Goethe made his appear ance in one of his classically decorated withdrawing rooms, into which I had been but the moment before introduced. He advanced towards me wick the countenance of one who seems not to go through the ceremony of a first greeting course cceur ; and I felt thankful to him for that first impression on my mind. His person was erect, and de noted not the advance of age. His open and well-arched eye-brows, which give effect to the undimmed lustre of the most brilliant eye I ever beheld'; his fresh look and mild expression of countenance, at once captivated my whole attention; and when he extended his friendly hand to welcome me to his dwelling, I stood absorbed in the contemplation of the first literary character of the age. The sound of his voice, which bespeaks peculiar affability, and the first questions be addressed to me respecting my journey, however, recalled nee from my reverie, antll en tered at once into the spirit which presided at the inter view, alike free from frivolity and haughty reserve. I found bins in his conversation ready, rather than fluent ; following, rather than leading ; unaffected, yet gentle manly; earnest, yet entertaining; and manifesting no de sire to display how much he deserved the high reputation which not only Germany, but Europe in general, had s imultaneously acknowledged to be his due. He conversed in French, and occasionally in English, particularly when desirous to make me understand the force of his observa tions on some recent translations of one or two of his works into that language. Faustus was one for these. The translation, by the present Noble Secretary for Ire and ingenuity of contr i vance , leaves the L i nd, of that sing u l ar d ra m at i c compos i tion, - which for same name by _ Marlowe f ar b e hi n d, seeme d o n bel o da t up t t o lYay h o afovfesttyghleieven satisfaction to the veteran author. lie observed to rne, that most assuredly it was not a transla tion, but an imitation, of what he had written. Whole sentences of the original,' added he, have been omitted, and chasms left in th e translation, where the most affecting passages should have been inserted to complete the pie- bly h d t iffi n c o u t l t b l e es ab i l n e to th o e ve o rc ri o g rn in e a ; l w tore hicht T he he n r o e bl w e e t r r e ans p la ro to bi r t few foreigners, indeed, can boast of such mastery of our prodigal idiom, as to be able to Convey its meaning with equal richness of expression, and strength of conception, in their own native language; but, in the case of the translation to which I alltuk that excuse for imperfection does not exist in outlay of the party which Lord Francis Gower has thought proper to omit. No doubt, - the choice of expressions in the English translation, the versifica tion, and talent displayed in what is original composition of his Lordship's own well-gifted mind, may be deserving of his countrymen's applause; but it is as the author of Faustus travestie, and not as the translator of Goeth e , s Faustus, that the popular applause has been obtained.' " twimee are e le a p t art o y n r c e e ac i h ntr S o t d . u P ce e d ters a b s ur , g , h a , to In which du e city of palaces." The chief thing that strikes Dr. Granville in this magnificent place is the absence of all humble buildings, such as the commonalty, or the class of society immediately below them, might be supposed to tenant. There is no residence for the people, says the Doctor, a fact with which he is not the sole per son who has been struck, inasmuch as the same remark, in nearly the same language, is made to him by an intelligent traveller while resident there. Having furnished us with a minute and entertaining account of this splendid capital, which we regret that our very contracted limits prevent us from enlarging on, the Doctor pro ceeds to Warsaw, where the Grand Duke Con stantine, to whom he is duly presented, and of whom, consequently, we have a highly flattering account, holds his Court. On his road to this place he chances to fall in with a bridal party, the ceremonies of whose marriage, according to the Russian ritual, are thus described:— " Ivan Ivanovitch and Prascovia Constantinovna Iva miff humbly request the favour of your attendance to the marriage ceremony of their daughter Anna Ivanowna with Nicholai Demetrivich Dorissow, and to the dinner table, this November the 13th day, in the year 1827, at two o'clock in the afternoon.' "On the embossed border of the card delicately edged with rose colour, the emblematic figure of Hymen was re presented on the one side standing under a palm tree, be tween the sleeping dogs of fidelity, and inviting from the other side the figures of the bride and bridegroom. I learned that the parties were wealthy Russian 'hemp-coin mission-agents, and most excellent people ; and as such an invitation promised to afford me an opportunity of witness ing the church marriage ceremony, of which I had read so many dissimilar accounts, I gladly accepted it. " At two the friends of the parties assembled from all quarters in the winter church of the Annunciation, in the Vassileiostrow, where a great concourse of people had already collected round the choristers or chanters, who, in the most delightful manner imaginable, and in the fuga style, were singing hymns, mixing with skilful combina tion the sopranos and bass voices. " The officiating priest, decked in his rich church vest ments, accompanied by the deacon, advanced from the sanctuary towards thedoor of enhance into the church, and there received the pair about to be made happy, to whom he delivered a lighted taper, snaking, at the same time, the sign of the cross thrice on their foreheads, and con ducted them to the upper part of the nave. Incense was scattered before them, while maids, splendidly attired, walked between the paranymphy, or bridegrooM and bride. The Greek church requires not the presence of either of the parents of the bible on such _an occasion. Is it to spare them the pain of voluntarily surrendering every authority over their child to one who is a stranger to her blood? I stood by the side of the table on which were deposited the rings, and before which the priest halted at the conclusion of a litany, wherein the choris ters assisted, and from which he plonounced, in a loud and impressive voice, the following prayer, his face being turned towards the sanctuary, and the bride and bride groom placed immediately behind him, holding their lighted tapers : " ' 0 Eternal God,—thou who didst collect together the scattered atoms by wondrous union, and didst join them by an indissoluble tie, who didst bless Isaac and Re becca, and made them heirs of thy promise ; give thy blessing unto these thy servants, and guide them in every good work : For thou art the merciful God, the lover of mankind, and to thee we offer up our praise now and for ever, even unto ages of ages.' " The priest, next turning round to the couple, blessed them, and taking the rings from the table, gave one to each, beginning with the man, and proclaiming aloud that they stood betrothed, now and for ever, even unto ages of ages,' which declaration he repeated thrice to them, while they mutually exchanged the rings an equal number of times. The rings were now again surrendered to the priest, who crossed the forehead of the couple with them, and put them on the fore-finger of the right hand of each; and turning to the sanctuary, read another impressive part of the service, in which an allusion is made to all the cir cumstances in the Holy Testament, where a ring is men tioned as the pledge of union, honbur, and power ; and prayed the Lord to bless the espousals of thy servants, Anna Ivanowna and Nicholai Demetrivich, and confirm them in thy holy union ; for thou in the beginning didst create them male and female, and appoint the woman for an help to the man, and for the succession of mankind. Do thou, 0 Lord our God, who hast sent forth thy truth upon thine inheritance, and thy promise upon thy servants our fathers, whom thou 'last chosen from generation to generation, look upon this servant, and this thine hand maid, and establish the espousals made between them in fidelity and unity, in truth and love, and let thine angel go before them to guide them all the days of their life.' " The priest now taking hold of the hands of both par ties, led them forward and caused them to stand on a silken carpet, which lay spread before them. The congregation usually watch this moment with intense curiosity, for it is augured that the party which steps first on the rich bro cade will have the mastery over the other through life. In t he present case, our fair bride secured possession of thi s prospective privilege with modest forwardness. Two silver Imperial crowns were next produced by a layman, which the priest took, and first blessing the bridegroom, placed one of them on his head, while the other destined for the bride, was merely held over her head by a friend, lest its admirable structure, raised by Charles, the most fashionable perruquier of the capital employed on this oc .cceasssfiouni,lysiliiloeunl,died be te d h ist s i p u o •b t e le d s . s fl T o, h v a e t r, fa e m m e b d iem ar a ti t s ic t l o t f adsuc- inno cence, with the rich tresses of the bride, which were farther embellished by a splendid tiara of large .diamonds. Her white satin robe, from the hands of Mademoiselle Louise, gracefully pencilling the contours of her bust, was gathered around her waist by a zone, studded with pre cious stones, which fastened to her side a bouquet of white flowers. " The common cup being now brought to the priest, he blessed it, and gave it to the bridegroom, who took a sip from its contents thrice, and transferred it to het who was to be his mate, for a repetition of the same ceremony. After a short pause, and some prayers from the responser, in which the choristers joined with musical notes, the priest took the bride and bridegroom by the hand, the friends holding their crowns, and walked with them round the desk thrice, having both their right hands fast in his, from West to East, saying.— " Exult, 0 Isaiah ! for a Virgin has conceived and brought forth a Sen, Emanuel, God and man ; the East is his name. Him do we magnify, and call the Virgin blessed !' " Then taking of( the bridegroom's cr own , h e said— ," Be thou magnified, 0 bridegroom, as Abraham! Be thou blessed as Isaac, and multiplied as Jacob, walking in peace, and performing the commandment of God in righteousness.' " In removing the bride's crown, he exclaimed-- " ' And be thou magnified, 0 bride, as Sarah ! Be thou joyful as Rebecca, and multiplied as 113C1111e1 j delighting in thine own husband and observing th e bounds of the law, according to the good pleasure of God.' " The ceremony now drew to its c onclusion, the tapers were extinguished, and taken from the bride and bride groom, wko, walking towards the holy screen, were dis missed by the priest, received th ! • congratulation s o f t h e company, and salute...l eac h other." Press of matter, as we observed just now, un fortunately c ompels us to pass by many impor tant as well as interesting particulars—statistic geographical —political—military, and otherwise, in which these two instructive volumes abound. We cannot, however, dismiss the subject without reco mmending to the reader's n o ti ce the chapter in the second volume entitled Picture of Saint Petersburgh." It abounds in • f ormAtion„ part of which possesses the merit—notwithstanding the triteness of the subject—of a fresh and graceful novelty. A light rambling account is also given of the customs of the Russians in general, from which it should appear that, like the Americ,ans, they are, by Englishmen at least, a very ill-used and calumniated nation.. Dr. Granville was greatly puzzled to discover •the savage barbarism so liberally attributed to them by Lyall. We must not, in closing this slight review, omit t o not i ce t h e very sp l en did engravings with which these volumes are illustrated. They are both numerous and ably executed ; and must of themselves, we should conceive, be worth the sum paid for th e entire work. LIFE AND REMAINS OF WILMOT WARWICK, LONDON. 1828. This is of the scho o l o f t h e Sketch-book, and deserves praise for the simplicity of it s s tyl e an d incidents. The stories are numerous, and very readable, though the author's inventive faculty is limited. Our favourite is the " Odd Gentle man," the very name of which, as also its con structitin, will at once recall the recollection of Geo Wry Crayon's well4old extravaganza, " The Stout Gentleman." The tide of the present little volume is manifestly a nom de guerre, but is the means of introducing one or two pleasant domestic sketches and traits of school life, which we regret that we have neither space nor time to extract. SPIRIT of the PROVINCIAL JOURNAL'; (FROM THE EDINBURGH EVENING POST OF SATURDAY.) In Ireland, at this moment, everything co-operates to forward the great crisis which will decide the fate of the Catholic Anti-Parliament. 'Flint same 'air, which attempted in vain to put down the Popish Association, but which did effectually put down tho Orange clubs, expires by accident at the very time when it was most important that all bars should be withdrawn from the full and powerful expression of Protestant feeling; and, at the very same moment when the two great Brunswick clubs had been formed in this country and in Ireland, the old Orange clubs are all preparing to re-assemble. This is a great triumph gained : organs are now provided for the public manifestation of feelings, hitherto stilled. A still greater triumph for us is this,—that at the very same time \vim.' old enemies to the Ca tholic cause are restored to activity and strengthened, old friends to that cause are every where alienated, and by the very same act, viz. the Clare Election. The leading Irish Journal of the Popish faction, when commenting on the Munster Provincial Meet ing, says," There is one circumstance attending thi,, great meeticg which we witnessed with pain. Not a single nobleman, not a single Member of the Hou! of C»11,11021S, and but very few Protestants, of ail !: rank, attended the meeting." This is derisive; I I", strength of the Catholic Association has departed from them in one hour, and their Sampson lot-lb are shorn once and for ever. (FROM THE CORK CONSTITUTION OF SATURDAY. The two great masses of the Iri s h penple are now " alienated," as Mr. Shell says. They are rent asunder, and all their friendly bonds of union broken by the infernal intrigues of the Jesuits, and by the wicked influence of their instrument, the Catholir. Association. It would be nonsense to dispute a fact which is as palpable as the sky or the ocean. It would be fruitless to waste time in regretting regret can never remove the mischief—and ail that Protestants have now left to determine, is, how they may employ their moral power with the greatest ad vantage to themselves, their cause, and their posterity, and to hold every effort necessary to- those para mount ends, as so many vows registered in heaven for fulfilment. This jP the main thing to be done— and done it must be—not by fits and starts—but upon a fixed plan, actively, ardently, firmly, and faithfully; with vigour, and with calmness that will render the vigour effective. (FROM THE DUBLIN EVBNING POST OF SATURDAY.) CHANGE IN TILE CABINET.—Ii r e have good rea sons for stating that the Duke of Wellington is about new-modelling the Cabinet of his Majesty, with a view of carrying the Catholic Question triumphantly through Parliament. The following letter will he read with some interest : London, Thursday evening, half-past seven. It was generally understood in the Ministerial circles, that the sucessor to the Duke of Clarenc e at the Admiralty, would be declared to-day ; but up to this hour Ho not find that the final arrangements have been made. Lord Melbourne is still spoken of, and I haVe reason to believe that the pest has been offered to him; but he objects to take office unless Mr. Huskisson returns, and Mr. Huskisson cannot do so without Mr. Grant arid Lord Palmei ston. It would be difficult for the Duke of Wel lington, however disposed, to make room for all of o that 1 c s nh a ae G r t r yorfathise. .within e l o ' p a i s . o .; i ebr s i a i c it ) t. them ; but as a sort of Round Robin has been signed by the Anti-Catholics against further concessions, the Duke must expect the entire batch to turn out if he car riesphroo withoutc h eue is ig ih p nt r gah o : m cuou i isii:eldvesisocsi conviction lo t it o enh e e ct i x hii e e xe c ution, s u he t eieourli. cannot Opposition, H s it L y a o ns t d h o at w a n n e B p r e o r i s t o g n h a a g n e i . h a s i Marquis o o l t : last few days he has expressed the inipossibili., of Illustrious a nd i‘ii Mr. talkers." The great talkers already talked have already stated (and I repeat it upon the most p t the 1 t iN i I v a e r t a l expressed his determination to be guided in the busi ness by the Duke of Wellington, and no longer to oppose Emancipation, if the Duke recommends it. It is, however said, that his Grace does not intend to go so far as tol satisfy the views of the Associa tion. The tirunswickers or English Orangemen, are on the qui vice. They have already sent out Agents with petiti ons aga i nst the Catholics, for which they are to ge t s i gna tures by all possible means. The petitions are then to be presented alto gether to his Majesty. The Munswickers, no doubt, will be very ains r y, ~ but how can they help themselves ? Needs m ust, " you know, when "the hero of the age. , holds th e reins. It was, to be sure, very provoking, that the Duke did not, in h i s capacity of Prime - Ministe r , be come also the head of a faction.
