4 ~_____ LITERATURE. ?ARLEY'S PENNY LIBRARY AND TREA SURY OF KNOWLEDGE,' ENTERTAIN MENT, AND DELIGHT, London, Cleave, She-lane. The First. Part of this publication has lately appeared, and is to be continued weekly in penny Parts, and monthly in fourpenny Parts, forming, certainly, one of the cheapest periodicals of the day..- The .fourpenny Part contains 144 pages duodecimo, of small type, but neatly and dis tinctly printed, and interspersed with a great , variety of wooden cuts. Some of these are well finished, others are not ; and-we would, there fore; suggest to the . p u bli s h er t h e propr i ety o f improving the cuts, even though he should vasere_ 'duce th e number by "one-half..

But these constitute by far the least consequential por tion of our scheme. • Strenuous endeavours will be directed to the formation of a vigorous taste—to the creation of a just Perception of what is really beautiful, in contradistinction to the prev a ili ng rage f or unmiti gated indul gence in sanguinary horrors on the one hand, :and gross buffoonery or maudlin sentimentality on the other. The rich and costly stores of the Greek and Roman classics, of the very existence of which vast num , .bers of both sexes never heard, will be popularly pre ented to .our readers by an occasional prose analysis of 'some celebrated author ; by which many even of those who have dog's -eared a sc h oo l O v i d, and subsequently arrived •at the distinction of applying their wretched latinity to the exposition of Greek, will derive more . knoWledge of the classics from one. of our humble num bers,. than could be gathered from all the disjointed and 'fragmental lumber which they have heaped together in the course of their too generally worse than useless • studies.. " Natural History will also obtain the share of due to: its importanc e ; together with such of and Scienees as are most interesting, to nArts fer the , greate s t b ene fi t upon man. " The following description of the whale affordS a fair specimen of the work : • 'Phe whale is one of the most extraordinary pro ductions of nature, and contributes very largely - to - the comforts and convenience of man, while the extensive ifiSheries, for capturing that monster of the , ci tute an excell ent school for rearing hardy an dd eeepxperion st enced •-; • seamen, the' i mportance of whi c h is incalculable, in con nection With a great nation like this, which is indebted tor all its influence and vastness of 'foreign possessions to the insulated position of the mother country, and the, .'exercise of almost undisputed mastery on the sea, the en . tire length and breadth .of which may be - said to portion o f the British empire. But the whale, thou g a h an inh a bi tant of the depths of ocean, and invested with amazing power in swimming and directin g its , with no le gs to walk and. no capacity to exist out course of svater,, its pro these per element —the whale, no t w i t h standing tish-hke qulities, is not a fish, but belongs the ' o rder of marrunaalia—of an th a t bring forth to their P r ogeny and suckle them with milk ; and its fins differ in a siugular manner from those of fishes ; they nearly resetnhle the human arm, and terminate with a hand, . 11 aving . four fingers,- as delineated in this drawing. The l'r th bale is thus ens, as to clasp its young, and carry ii 46 4,. in Us orm, and perform many of those acts of dal re"ee and affection for which the mother is distinguished ng terre'stcial animals. The tail of the whale is also enrious combination of mechanical powers ; and, in Thaddititio 'a. to 'the great strength bestowed upon it, the c , t , l sctef, allow it to be turned any way, with as much fa as the human arm ut the formion of te til of the fish circums cr ib es its motions o at the limited h use I.lr which it was designed; that of directing its course, - evhil e in the whale it presents a most formidable weapon 'of defence, with which it frequently hurls a boat and its crew into the air, whilst writhing from the anguish of harpoons buried in its flesh, and striving in vain to escape from the persevering efforts of its destroyers. The blood ' of th e whsle is warm, like that of terrestrial animals ; its brain is much larger in proportion than that of the fish ; it eyes have a remarkably intelligent expression ; • and its, sense of hearing is so acute as to increase very consi Jerably the difficulty of approaching it near enough to ir4li c t the stroke by which its great strength is finally overcome. " The north and south seas abound with whales, and 4 -I they are generally discovered by those who seek them. for the valuable oil they yield, by the fountain-like stream of water which they eject. 'The moment a fish is seen from the mast-head of a whaler, the boats are manned *ad row away in quest of him. They silently as possible :get near enough for the harpooner to throw his weapon at t he tmormous ani ma l, w hi ch, on receiving the wound, ive s to face w an immense depth, or d ar t s a l ong near the sur ith extreme extreme velocity ; but a rope is attached to the harpoon which has been struck into its huge body, which rope is a ll owed to run out freely, or th e boat would be dragged und er water ; and the direction of the rope e nables the m to follow up their victim, until repeated Wounds at length leave the monster lifeless upon the sur face of the water."

INSURRECTION IN SPINN FULLEST PARTICI'''. A ns . The following will be found . to•contain the most ample details relative to th e r evolt at Pampeluna ; th e f ac t s are brought from the • t . inee'the movement broke out down to the latest t, :clod when news had been received, and are taken " t ,artly from the Fren c h p a p ers an d part l y from ler sources. The following extracts are from the Sea r tinelle of Bayonne:— " At daybreak on the 2d inst. General O'Donnel ap peared at the quarters of La Merced, which was 'occu pied by the 2d battalion of the regiment of Estremadura, made it form into line, and led it to the'citadel, where it fuund another battalion of the same regiment, and a detachment of cavalry ; with these forces he declared himself to be in revolt against the present Go. eirnment. As soon as the news of this reached General Ribeiro, he proceeded to visit all the bar racks, and took every measure circumstances required, and, assisted by the National Guard and the rest of the garrison, prepared to defeat the designs of the insur gents. Some Spaniards, whom we believe well informed, assure us that this act of O'Donnell's was certainly in concert with a party at Madrid, and that we might ex-. pect to hear of the insurrection breaking out at several towns. We are also informed that movements similar to that at Pampeluna have taken place at Bilboa and Vit toria. A report is circulated that an attempt at a rising was made at Tolosa, in the same night as that at Pam peluna; that a commissary of the army and a brigadier endeavoured to se d uce t h e troops, but succeeded only with a few of the soldiers. With this detachment the two leaders took up a post at about a league from Tolosa, on the road to Navarre, and here stopped the Pampeluna diligence on its way. Not finding the com munications they expected, they suffered it to pass on. General Alcala is at Tolosa with a bat talion. He has trusted the keeping of St. Sebastian to the national militia. He has issued an order of the day, addressed to his troops, in which, after praising their valour and loyalty, makes them acquainted with what has taken place, and expresses his confidence that at their head he will be able to execute, however difficult, whatever may be necessary_ for the preservation of the Constitution, the young Queen, and the present Govern ment.. A. commercial traveller just arrived at Bayonne from Pampeluna, states that the National Guard was under arms and sent out patrols, hut refused to do duty at the gates became this task belonged to the army, while theirs was to preserve the property of their fellow citizens. The diligence in which this person was travel ling was stopped on the road by an officer, who, after questioning the passengers as to what had occurred at Pampeluna, informed them that the movement was to extend to all parts of Spain, but the discovery of the plot had hastened its execution at Pampeluna. This officer had come from Tolosa, the garrison of which town he had failed in exciting. A report was current at Be hobia that some soldiers at Tudela had massacred their officers, and then went to Pampeluna.” ORDER OF THE DAY AND PROCLAMATION OF GENERAL O'DONNELL. " THE C OMMANDER -GENERAL OF NAVARRE AND THE MASQUE PROVINCES. " Soldiers —The august Princess whose name was your guide for seven years to battle and victory; she who in her zeal for the welfare and prosperity of Spain, opened the doors of the .country to exiled Spaniards ; the re storer of liberty to this unhappy nation ; she who pre— ferred at Valencia an honourable exile rather than vio late the Constitution of 1837; the mother of your Queen, in fact, is about to return to you. In vain has an ungrate ful man, allied to what the revolution has produced of most impure, attempted to substitute himself for the illustrious Christina. That was impossible. You have been witnesses, during a year, of his odious tyranny. Incapable of governing the nation, feeble in the presence of foreign Powers, ungrateful towards the army whose blood he did not spare in elevating himself, you. have seen him, in the midst of offended Spain, authorising the most despotic and immoral, acts, whilst trampling upon the COnstite.tion to which they had sworn, and glorying in a brutal firmness 'the revolutio n an d it s c hi e f d epr i ved a mother e ven of the consolation of educating in the love of her people the daughters whom she loves with idolatry, and at Carthagena trampled the national flag under foot. The Spanish army is dying with hunger in return for its campaigns ; those worthy officers whose wounds had compelled them to retire from military ser vice, but who were expecting civil employment when the benevolent era of peace had arrived, have been set aside, their wounds have even been laughed at, and offices of every kind hay, fallen into the hands of a scum • atro ciously notorious in street revolt, but utterly unknown in the camps during the seven years' war. Even the lives of the Queen and of the Infanta, her sister, are in peril ; yes, soldiers, the lives of these august children, which are our guarantee against the renewal of the pre tensions of Don Carlos. The august Queen-Mother, who, by the treason of an ambitious man, has been de prived for a time of her regency, returns to Spain to claim the sacred deposit which the country had confided to her by the organ of the Cortes. You will find by her side the generals who have so frequently led you to victory, and whose blood, mixed with yours, has flowed on the field of battle. For myself, I have no doubt of your fidelily. Soldiers ! you have been too long made the dupes of the ambition of one man. Hasten now to the post of honour assigned to you near the throne of a Queen. "LEOPOLD O'DONNELL. " Head-quarters of Pampeluna, Oct. 2." " Inhabitants of Navarre and the Basque Provinces!— When, at the expiration of the civil war, you embraced the Spanish army on the plains of Bergara, your lan guage was sincere, and the oath of fidelity which you swore to Queen Isabella 11. at that solemn moment, has been kept by you with your characteristic good faith. But do you remember, Basques and Navarrese, the day when you received the solemn word of the Chief of the armies, and that he promised to respect youtfueros and that the p eace w hi c h was that day welcomed by' all should never be disturbed? Do you remember that it was then the illustrious Christina who governed the kingdom, and who, more than any person, was anxious tc put an end to the struggle between Spaniard and Spaniard ? If so, cast your eyes over what remains from that memo rable day, and judge what is likely to occur if you, the army, and all Spain, do not awake from your sleep. The man who made to you so many promises whilst you were in arms, General Espartero, who gave you a hy pocritical embrace at Bergara, has deceived the mother of his Queen, compromised the Spanish nation, treacher ously laid hold of the Regency, virtually abolished your ferret, and will finish by the open destruction of them on the most frivolous pretext. Under his rule the most sacred laws of the State have been violated ; the august Princess, deprived of Isabella 11., has been compelled to seek refuge from revolution in a foreign land ; the religion of our fathers is already tat; eked with effrontery, and this false and traitorous man only waits for an opportunity to .drive from the throne of their ancestors the innocent children who stand in the way of his am bi t i on. Basques and Navarrere, Queen Maria Christina of Bourbon is about to return amongst you ; the majority of the nation and the army expect her with impatience, and certainly you will not be less eager. In Spain there can be no struggle between anarchy and the defence of the throne. We shall triumph—we shall triumph without affection t main tained i oti to the Spanish people, your the effusion of blood. Under the Government of ap venerable Queen who has given soany proo f fs ue o r r os will hera • to their full extent, and the respectable clergy, whose rightful possessions are being taken from them in a Catholic; revolutionary manner, will be protectedas they ought'to be in a co un t r y w hi c h is eminently the Ministers of the Lord will ret a i n the dignity attached to the worship of the eternal G o d. If i n terests which ought to be respected o shOuld' inflict any prejudice upon the purchasers G t national prop er ty, th e augus t Queen Regent and her o ve!nment will come to an arrangement with the head of the Chu rc h as regar d s t h ose i nterests , w hi c h s hall in no manner injure th e ac t ua l possessors . B a sques and Na varrese, being charged in the name of her Majesty, and preparatory to her arrival with the command of your provinces, the inhabitants will and in me a firm defender of their rights, and a general well known never to have broken his word. Let the friends of the Queen . rally round me ; let them throw themselves into the arms of that army which, more sincere than the man who com manded them at Bergara, heartily embraces them ; as for me I shall always regard as traitors all who act otherwise. " The Lieutenant -General Viceroy and Captain-Ge neral ad interim of Navarre and the Basque Provinces. " LEOPOLD O'DONNELL," The Quotidienne says that it was between twelve and one at night when O'Domiell introduced himself into the citadel of Pampeluna. Some persona (this, Journal adds) say that O'Donnell took 12,000 ) 000 of francs (429,0000 with him, and not three only, as was stated. The following, from the Spanish frontier, is from the Memorial Bourdebis :—" 'We hear that Estella in Na varre, and Aspeitia in Guipuzcoa, have adopted the po litics of O'Donnell against Espartero. A Junta is to be established at Aspeitia to provide for the immediate ne cessities of existing circumstances. Both these towns have made themselves remarkable for their zealous devo tion to Carlist principles, and therefore it may be ques tioned whether a movement, begun under pretence of main taining the throne of Isabella 11., may not, in the end, be turned to the advantage of Don Carlos and his par tisans, and thus, by deceiving the moderate party, supplant it and, bring back the civil war to the point at which it was before the treaty or nergara. / ' The Indi cateur on the subject of affairs in Navarre, says :—'• On the 4th some more defections were spoken of, but the frontier was quiet. The inaction of 0'1.)onnell, who is still shut up in the citadel of Pamplona, is only to be attributed to his waiting to hear of his .being seconded by similar attempts in other quarters. The Govern ment, however, informed of what had been for some time preparing beyond the Pyrenees, had taken its measures to defeat the projects, and we believe that by this time the troops which were in Arragon and Castille have been marched towards Navarre, whither they will be followed by the Regent in person."

THE SUN, LONDON, MONIdAV.IIONATC4-_'ll. 1841. CIIINA. - We have given the official reports of General Gough and Sir Fleming Senhouse, describing the operations before Canton. We now publish a third official. reporf, no loss interesting--narnelb that forwarded to Pekin at the speed of 600 le per day for the Emperor-:--drawn up by the Imperial Commissioner Yihshen. In this desratch the , statements• of the English Commanders are fully borne out. The Chinese troops were completely discom fited, and the people cried out for peace and surrender. It is taken from the Canton Press. REPORT or YIHSHAN.- The Imperial Nephew and Commissioner, dated May the 31st, sent by couriers at the rate of 600 le per day. Since my arrival in Canton province, the forts of oo chung (first bar), of Ty-wong-ko (Macao passage fort), Tung-wong-kong (Swallows Nest fort), and other places were lost. I then consulted with Lung and Yang, assist ant-commissioners, and erected on the banks of the, river in succession to the stone fort, or Ny-ching (peat where. the British tro o p s l an d e d) an d b atter i es at Wong-sha, at" the Singhaegate (petition-gate),and at Hungmeouchucle (a temple in the suburbs), at Hwangcha (above Shaming), and at Yili-cha and other places. Officers and soldiers guarded them, and all around we put up sand bags, pal; lisadoes,, piles of stones and balls; we moreover dug trenches for .the protection of the soldiers. We also placed sand-bags all around the city walls to make them stronger, and I, myself, with the assistant-commissioners, went round to reconnoitre and inspect the works in dif-' ferent places. Besides, we embodied some of the brave Fukeen sailors, to the number of more than .1„009 men, and prepared rafts an d s t raw t o . ma k c rafts, byAre. -On the evening of the Ist day of the 4th . moon (21st May) the great, conffiet with the 'harbaiians commenced at the western fort. We attacked them with our guns, burning instantly five - Of • their boats. and breaking two of their guns, gnashing two, great masts of the barbarian ships. They were now all returning, when your minister at the fifth watch (three o'clock to five A.m.) was upon the . pcint• of bring ing up his soldi ers fur their extermination. But all on a sudden the number of their vessels was,,nereased by 16 ships, eight steam-boats, and eighty ships', hogs which all pressed - forward. The soldiers, on, account of the hard fighting during the night, were all fatigued, their guns were few, and although they had fired several tens of rounds, yet the barbarian 'ships being strongl and numerous, they could not beat them buck. Their' soldiers finally got on shore, and rushed to the plunder of the city, entering the forts at the small and large,. northern gates, and attacking the town on three sides. Their rockets were thrown in masses; their balls hit the people's houses, and they caught firei All our soldiers' had 'not place to stand on ; their cannon was melted by the fire of the barbarians, and the buildings de stroyed (magazines blOwn up ?). I . caunot yet accu rately ascertain the number of all the solAiers and great officers that w ere kill e d and wounded. We were hard pressed, and returning into the 'city myriads of people were weeping and wailing; the number of those'who in voked Heaven and begged for peace covered the roads. When Your Minister looked with his own eyes upon this his very bowels were torn asunder: . In ; stooping down from the walls, I - M a d e inquiries of tle'llarbarians; they all said that several millignS of taels.for the surrendered opium had not been paid, and, therefore, they requested the sum of one million of taels in liquidation thereof, and they would immediately withdraw their soldiers and retire outside the 'Bogue ; that they had to make no other request ; and that then the people might go on in their cuStoinary way. I then asked them about the sur render of the whole' territory of Hong Kong; and they. replied that Keshen had given it them, and that an authenticated paper from him to this effect had been . . placed on record. _ Your Minister thought that the City was in danger ; that there had been repeated disturbances ; and that the whole people were prostrated in mud and ashes ; I there fore agreed to this pro t'enaporc : moreover, I considered, again and again, that this was a solitary city to be fought against, and that both the fat and liver were greatly injured. There was, moreover, no battle-field for deploying a great army, and I could not do otherwise than.beguile.• them to go out , of the Bogue. Then we shall repair our forts, and endeavour to attack and ex terminate them, and recover our old territory of Hong Kong. Your MinisterS beseech your Majesty to 'deliver us over to the Board that we may be punished, and als=o to direct that Ke,• the Goiernor, and E, the Lieut.-Gover nor, be severely dealt with. Respectfully, we present. a petition from all the people asking for peace. Your Minister is conscious'of not being guiltless. A respectful memorial.

Several• thought that the Budget Should be voted for one _quarter only. Tisx HAGUE, OCT, 7.—The Second Chamber, wild< xijio tltc dehs,tes• on the budget. M. Lame acknow- Jedlged that ; the pfeitant embarrassed - state of the 41nances was to be ascribed to the events of the last reign, and especially to ,the want of an independent Ministry, and that the :nation had expected that a dif• (fent system would .be pursuedby the new. Government. He Otivertiment, it is true, had .shown its zealous wish by a number propogala for filling up existing deficien cies and making useful-improvements. Still, however, he disapproved of.the proposed budget, and thought that the best way, would be to reject it altogether. Mr. Van Gottstein thought a budget fur one year only Was preferable. He would, therefore, refuse his assent to the proposed laws, but was ready to agree to a budget for mile year, in order to give the Government time to introduce a better system. Mr. Luyben wished for a reduction, and a more equal distribution of the burden, and ,he thought. that the fichvr classes were net taxed sufficiently ; and the middle classes too hetrily, Above all, . the . public creditors ,ought to contribute more to the.public burdens. He was glad. that the Government had not been induced to pro :pose a budget for one year only, which 9r041,2 have been ,coffillty; to the Constitution. Mx. thought that the rejection of the budget ,r;tuld lead, to no pfautival advantage. The account he aeknawledged was high, but this was chiefly the conse-, quence-of the adoption of the salutary principle of in cluding all ..the items .of expenditure in tee Budget, Great retrenchments he.saiti, could not be. made—time qiiiired but ;his did not hinder judicious im provetnefligi partietdarlt , in the system of taxation. But even this retliate time.. He thought that much was 'already, gained by Abe- proposal of .a budget by which the Members declare that everything is pro vided for. He would vote. for the budget. Some oilier Members expressed their disapprobation, and some said they 6hottld tots against the first chapter, " The Royal Household,' 4 for 110 tither reason than because they wished, by rejecting the whole hticlitet ; to make way for the in troduction of a budget for one year - • The Ministers of the Marine and Colville, of Finance and of the Interior, answered at great length to the ob jections that had' been made.

Her Majesty's packet Alert (Lieutenant Dawson died 'at liavannah, the master, Mr. May, in charge), arrived on Saturday morning at Falmouth, from Tampico, Aug. 22 ; Vera Cruz, Sept. 2 ; Havannah, 17. On freight, 336,807. dollars.. No passerger. • Reports that the schooner' Lynx, from Tampico for Liverpool, put into Havannah with loss of her master, but sailed thence on Oct. 1,741 i for her destination. The last intelligence., by the Mexican packet Penguin, informed us of the rising of the troops under. General Paredes, at Guadalaxara. The following is an extract-of the manifesto of that gar sison, and of the, inhabitants, dated August . 3, which, after stating .the - yarious,,aete7Pf mal-administration of the existing Government (alluded to in our Mexican ex press),. and the grievances under which the nation labours, conchided by proposing to ,the Republic the following scheme ". 1, An extraordinary national Con gress to be convoked, elected on most ample bases, and fully empowered to re form the Constitution, and with this sole exclusive attri bute. " 2. In the mean time, the supreme conservative power, to deliver the executive to a citizen of its confidence, with extraordinary power, and who will be responsible fur his acts to the first constitutional Congress. " 3. To that effect the annual Congress which will as semble for these sole acts will initiate, and the supreme conservative poiver will declare the incapacity of the ac • tual President of the republic, the former established by the Supreme Courts of Justice, and the supreme con servative poiver will declare the desire of the nation re specting the person wbo will have to enter upon the ma nagement of the executive: " 4. This latter will designate the day of ) , the installa tion of the extraordinary Congress, the form of its elec tion, and the time of its continuing in office." P ' The inhabitants of Guadalaxara wished to proclaim General Santa Anna dictator ; the editor of the Ccnsor states that he declined, on the ground of its being his wish to preserve the form of Republican Govern ment. This reason does not accord with our advises generally, but it is alleged rather that his designs were not sufficiently matured at that moment. The force in the city on the 4th of August was 1,800 infantry and near 200 cavalry, with artillery, but auxiliary corps Were immediately formed, so that any attack from the Government might be repelled force by force. The greatest demonstrations of rejoicing were displayed in the city. Santa Anna arrived at Vera Cruz on the 24th of August, and at night on the following day, our cor respondent informs us, the inhabitants of Vera Cruz assembled, and, having nianifested their enthusiasm by sky-rockets, ringing of the church bells, and an infinity of acclamations to General Santa Anna, Ge neral Paredes, the garrisons of Salisco, Vera Cruz, and St. Juan de Ulloa, they petitioned the Municipal Corpora tion to assemble in extraordinary session to make mani fest their votes and those of the neighbourhood. The Magistrates met about eleven, when the acclamations were renewed, and the session lasted till past one, when their decision was published, of abolition of the duty of 15 per Cent., monopoly of tobacco, personal contribu tion, scale of confiscations, reform of rates of duties in maritime custom; houses, and the nomination , of hi s Ex cellency General Santa Anna to—in the actual lament able situation of the Republic—interpose his powerful influence for the purpose of obtaining the necessary or ganisation of the nation, of consolidating peace in the interior, and to ensure respect from exterior enemies. The utmost unanimity and concord reigned throughout the city on the occasion. Santa Anna having laid his hands on all the available money resources at Vera Cruz, present and future (liming duo respect to the rights of the dividend fund 'holders; and taking care, not to jeopardise the conducta by his too early movOnent before it passed Yalapa), marched on to Perote, where he arrived on Aug. 30. At this fortress a brilliant division was assembled, which Wag to operate under his immediate orders. Cartazan would join him, and it was supposed they would march thence for Mexico. Paredes was said to be making for the capital likewise. The united force was estimated at 8,000 men. The intelligence of the revolution in Talisco had pro duced a considerable sensation in the city Of Mexico. Letters from Tampico mention that there existed a gene ral decision in that place in favour of the movement, and that part of the troops there were ready to march in favour of the rights of the nation. The inhabitants were about to take up arms, as were those of other places in the vicinity. Our correspondent further infor.ns us that Leon, in Guanajuato, and Yalapa, have a l so d eclared for the new order _of things, so that the whole of the south of Mexico seems in possession of the confederates. The supgior Chief of the revenue inGuadalaxara informed General' Paredes that he was ready to execute his orders ; but to cover his responsibility he requested to be drawn upon in writing. In the act he was in formed that what public funds he might. collect Vere to be directed in preference to supplying the wants o'" the troops, and an order has been sent to the Custom-li )use of San Blas to remit its products to the treasury of ( ;ma . clalaxara, not sending a single dollar to Mexico. The merchants have ordered supplies of goods, to profs„ by the. low rate of duties, but it is said the Administi atur of the custom-house . of Guadalaxara has held cons Ilta- Lions to thwart the collections, •and if so, he will spec wdly be removed, which will give satisfaction to traders ge nerally. Things had returned to their former state of tranqu il lity, and the G enera l i s f ar f rom amending an attat :k, as he is aware of the state of impotency to which the Government of Mexico is reduced. •_ MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHIN'Gr'. A most whimsical dispute has arisen on the subject of the pronunciation of • Mona, the name of Lord Pal. merston's mare. The sporting world is divided i nto two factions on the . question—one party, headed b 7 Jo - an Day, the jockey, insisting that the o in the name she uld be pronounced Ion;; ..the other, that it should be prone' ens :ed short. Bets to a Targe amount have been laid on b. ,th sides ; but as the dispute is one not likely to be sett led by the Jockey Club—among whom Purrs and Por , ..a ,ns are somewhat scarce—a deputation has been sent to t the two Universities of . Oxford and Cambridge, .humbly in treating that they will be pleased to give the matter th. sir grtilest and most conscientious consideration! Mies n while, Mr. Byng—too anxious to wait the decisi an of the learned Dons, who vegetate by the banks of the 0 ins and the Isis—bas himself applied direct to Lord P al merston, and the following is his Lordship's answer. As it is a bit of a curiosity in its way, and anything ;but orthodox in its notions of prosody, we quote the ep :s -tolary gem entire:— C. T., Sept. 29, 1841- " My dear Byng—l have just received your letter of this morning ; and, though I should have high authority for declining to declare my opinion upon the matter 'on which 3ou question me till the beginning of February, yet, regardless of the silent system of the day, I sena you an immediate answer. " There can be no doubt that, in point of prosody, the o in Iliona, or Ilione (for the name is spelled either way), is short. Virgil settled the question in his first "Eneid, where he says— " Prmtei'ea sceptrumjlione quod gesserat olim _ _ " • Maxima natarum Priami.' But the second i is as short as the o; and as mailer of those vowels have, in their name, any right to La ith, the first i and the final e (when that termination is ac opted) being t!:e only lung vowels, the question arises, which of the two middle vowels is entitled to be accented 4 and here the Greek spelling may determine the point T ,and in Greek the accent is placed over the 0, thus IA I take it that the proper way qf pronouncing the Amu, according ,to guantiN and 'accent, would be as if it :w re .9p(red "I hope I Shall be thought to have thus given a tilt]] k, Candid, and unreserved declaration of opinion ; .ar,d,. as I am alone in my cabinet, you will believe me when 7 s; 'that it has been arrived at without any difference or di .3- sent.- 77 Your's sincerely, " * PALMERSTON." The most whimsical part of this gifted epistle is, tha while Lord Palmerston deduces the authority of Virgil to prove that the o is short, he himself directly a fter war& makes it long 7 -as long, in fact, as one of Sir • Jaees Graham's' pamphlets on the Corn-laws ! To make the matter still more absurd, he allows that i t is short; but then, as if to obviate all possibility of mist tke, he takes the pains to write the word in English ; and by so doing, completely neutralize 3 his previous a.ss•- tion ! A more Irish method of argument was never y+. 3t Adopted. PORTUGAL. Latiox, OCT. 4.-=-A communication has been received from the Spanish Government, notifying the abandor.- ment of the demands made upon Portugal, as fir as re gards the 'deposits of British goods ; but intimating its persistance as regards tobacco and salt. Under the treaty of Badajos, Portugal agreed to allow no larger quantity of these articles to be kept in its frontier towns than what was sufficient for the usual consumption of the inhabitants of those towns and their districts ; but es this treaty must be considered to all purposes null and void, it remains to be considered what right Spain has to call upon Portugal to take these steps, with a view to prevent the smuggling of those articles across its fron tiers, at the very moment when Portugal is inun dated with Spanish corn, smuggled constantly over every part of the frontier, without any attempt what ever on the part of Spain to do what It requires Portugal to do —co-operate in preventing the violation of absurd fiscal laws. The fact is, that such is the scarcity of salt, and such the cheapness of corn, in some of the Spanish provinces adjoining Portugal, that a mule's load of salt is exchanged for a mule's load of corn ; and salt b e i ng of scarcely any value here, it bile wheat is twice the price it is on the Spanish side of the frontier, how is it possible that contraband trade can be prevented in these articles ? Great complaints are made, of course, by the " landed interest " here, about the introduction of Spa nish corn and of Spanish brandies to some extent, and certainly Portugal has as much right to call on the Spanish Government to stop its wheat going into Por tugal, as that Government has to call on the Portuguese Government to stop its salt, &c. going into Spain. The financial projects are proceeding through the Senate ; those for increasing the tax on the sale of pro perty to 10 per cent., and for extending the tax on con sumption at Lisbon to the neighbouring districts have passed, and also the _project i ncreas i ng f rom three to six per cent. a tai levied on the amount of customs' duties in addition to the tariff ; theformor tax of 3 per cent. was an impost paid by the importer,* and appropriated first to defray the petty expenses of the customs' department, the remainder being divided among the clerks, &c., to whom it frequently yielded, and does still, nearly as large a sum as their regular pay. This 3 per cent. is still to continue to the clerks as before, but an additional 3 per cent. is to be levied, which is to be paid over to the Board of Public Credit, towards the fund for the payment of the foreign dividends. A similar tax of 2 per cent. on the amount of the duties on internal consumption, paid at the Sete Casas, is increased to 4 per cent. for the same purpose. The questions of the abolition of the differential du ties, of the increased duties on woollens and some other articles, and of the 10 per cent. tax on the home divi dends, have nut yet been discussed in the Senate. • The Government continues, I believe, to urge the latter mea sure, which, not w i t h s t an di ng i ts re j ect i on by the Finance Committee of the Senate, is expected to.pass by.a small majority. All the other measures will, no doubt,. be passed. The duty on fine cloths was raised. by the Pe-, puties to 12 testoons (about ss. 6d.) per pound I,yeight, being twice the previous amount, in conformity with the recommendation of the Committee to which it had been referred. The previous tax was stated to be under ten per cent. ad valorem, and it was contended that the pre sent increase to 20 per cent. ad valorem , will merely a c t M as a fair impost _upon an article con s ue: f i mainly by the wealthier classes. The other proceedings of the Depu ties have been of no general interest, The Duke of Palmella and Senhor Manuel Passos, both took occasion on Saturday to complain greatly of the unfair mode in which the Brazilian Government taxed Portuguese wines ; the duty being fifty per cent. ad valorem, and levied according to an arbitrary estimate, Portuguese wines being valued much higher than the others, so that, in fact, a pipe of wine from this country pays some 16 milreas (41.) more than a pipe of French or Spanish wine., .Both the above senators declared that unless, Brazil listened to reason in this respect, the Por tuguese Government 'ought to retaliate by discriminatory duties against Brazilian prOducts.

A bill for above 50,0001. being an instalment on the amount due by Portugal- on account of General Clinton's division, fell due on the Ist of this month, and having been sent out by Messrs. Rothschild to their correspond ent here, was duly taken up and paid at the Bank of Lis bon. The Government had made an arrangement for an advance of 280 contos, which the bank will be repaid but of the Customs revenues. Those only who know• the ex cessive difficulties with which the Government here is struggling for want of money, can appreciate the sacri fice made by Senhor Avila to redeem its engagements. In the midst of intrigues and difficulties of every sort, the Government is endeavouring to bring round the finances of the country to a healthy state. The failure of the house of Corpas, Garcia, and Co:, is a very serious affair. At the meeting on Tuesday last, the principal creditors refused the terms proposed by the firm, and their effects have all been sealed up, and the business delivered over to the Tribunal of Commerce, to be dealt with according to the bankrupt law. Mr. W. Payant and Mr. Roberts were appointed curators. The loss, divided among about a dozen of the Engli s h houses, is estimated at 69,0001. Among the chief creditors were Mr. Shannon, 45 contos ; Mr. San guinetti, 45 contos ; Mr. C. Payant, 35 contos ; MeSsrs. Graham; 30 contos ; Mr. W. Payant, 25 contos ; Knowles and Mr. Appleton, above 20 contos each. Among the other creditors are Mr. Roberts, Mr. O'Keefe, Mr. M`Lagaa,, Mr. M'Andrew, and Messrs. Dobson. Mr. Sanguinetti. and Mr. Knowles have stopped payment. All these firms had taken Corpas and Co,'s bills, which they had discounted. Messrs. Graham and Mr. W. Payant took up their returned bills forthwith. Mr. C. Payant made an arrangement with the bank who had discounted his bills, by which he paid the bank 50 per Ont., and gave up his claims on Corpas and Co., under Mr. r rr h S a er h as n ni n og o ne n d , a to odh pay e3 l ,n a 4e r o g r a e pl e a s r3 m l o e p u n a n t t. t hby o y f , has h , v h ah e s b s I a l s om , s to s h ea xp them. edt 0 instalments to the holders of the bills, and give up the bills as in the former case.

There will be one ad vantage when the storm has blown over, viz., that the system of business here will, it is expected, be a good deal changed, and less credit given. A deputation of some of the' 'cotton firms here waited on Lord Howard de Walden, in 'consequence of a postaria, issued in reply to a requisition of Messrs. Graham and. Co. to the Portuguese Government, .against th e pro ceedings of the Dir ec t or o f t h e Customs, w ho' had thought fit to class an article of fustian or cotton drill under the head of linen drills " cutem," and to impose a fluty of 200 reis per pound weight under that head, instead of the proper duty of GO reis per pound weight, which it had previously paid, being classed with moleskins " tou peira," which pay 60 reis the pound weight. A piece of this fustian of forty yards weighs ten pounds, and the duty would therefore betwo milreas, or near 9s. a piece, and as the article is not Worth above sd. a yard, it would I. e. if the dutirs amounted to 100 moido:es, the importer paid three moidores mere under this head.

At Berwick, on Tuesday night, av€ ssel from Bremen came ashore at the Magdalen Fields, raid, melancholy to relate, all on board perished • a few fr ag ments drifted ashore from the wreck, and which were found next morning, were all that remained to tell ti e tale. On the same night another vessel attempted to take the harbour, at no time a very eau underta2l - and peculiarly dangerous in . a rough sea, suclL a; then raged along the coast .; in the boiling flood the helm lost its power, and she was driven - ashore on Spittal Beach. The crew were got out in safety, and next morning the vessel herself was got off the be ich, and brought up to the quay. On Thursday ruewn.;.ng a small. schooner , trading betw ee n H u ll an d Oh s gow, through the eniiin Canal, and which had encoun - tered the gait? of the previous day, attempted to take, Berwick harbour, with four feet water in her hold ; after much difficulty she succeeded, the storm having somewhat abated of its violence. It . is also reported that the Eclipse steamer,' trading between Newcastle and Hull, .was lost in the Ole, but we have not been able to ascertain the particulars. The streams on the east coast were much flooded. The small rivulet, the Eye, which, taking its rise among the Lammermoors, falls into the sea at Eyemouth, hat; burst its banks on Thursday, and had made sad havoc amongst the tur nips and stocks in the fields on its sides. E9me of these • were standing amongst the water, and one t:'eld of tur nips, a little way above Ay ton, was entirely. immersed in the flood. The Esk, the Water of Leith, and the other streams in our own vicinity, were also much flooded. GLASGOW,—Sinee Monday the weather has been vury ungenial ; throughout Wednesday rain fell in torrent and yesterday was dull, and showery. Fortunately littlo grain is out in this district, if we except the high lands in the precincts of Cumbernauld, where much oats, barley, and black victual, are still exposed. A single ivetelz of dry breezy weather would, however, take every from the field to the stack-yard.—Heratl. RoxnunonsurnE.—Since Sunday last this district of the country has been visited by constant rain, accon panied by vi3lent gusts of wind, which have proved very injurious to the crops still lying out. On Wednesday morning the Tweed and the Teviot rose to a great height, and the other tributaries of the Tweed, particularly the Eden, have swollen to such an extent, as to overflow the adjoining banks and fields.—Kelso Mail of Thursday. DUNDEE, OCT. B.—From Friday till Monday we had fair weather, with moonlight ; but on Monday night it began to rain. On Tuesday the rain continued, with the day exceedingly stormy—so much so, that the mail was an hour and a half later than usual, and the Edin burAt steamer did not venture to brave the boisterous surge ; in fact, it blew a perfect hurricane. ThrOugh out the night it cleared up ; but it rained again yester day, and it is to be feared that the late weather must prove detrimental to those crops still outstanding. LEEDS.—On Monday night the rain fell in such tor rents that the Bradford Beck ove:flowed its banks, and the lowest parts of the town were it; .consequence inun dated. The water, however, subsidei without doing any material damage. The barometer oit Tuesday night sunk to the exceedingly low point or 0 . 15-100ths. Heavy rain fell in the n i g ht, w hi c h cause d t he rivers t o overflow their banks. In th e sou th and west ofngland the weather has been extremely unfavourable durin g ; the last fortnight.— Leeds Mercury. • FLOOD.—On Wednesday week, this neighbourhood was visited with a very heavy fall of rain, from which the crops have suffered severely. The rain fell in torrents, such as we are little accustomed to (ex cept, perhaps, occasionally for a few minutes during a thunder-storm in summer), and continued, without in termission, till nearly eleven. The Isla and her diffe rent tributaries became rapidly swollen, and by the time the rain began to abate, had assumed rather an alarming aspectthe whole haughs, from brae to brae, where the Burn of Haughs joins the Isla, being under water. The consequent destruction and loss of crop was great, the rise being so very sudden that it was in many cases impossible to save the crops within reach. At times, the water might have been said to be covered with, corn, giving active-employment to the people along the banks, who were intent on saving as much as possible from destruction. Here might be seen a couple of houacks, as they are called, going bodily down the stream, and nodding to each other as they passed — there a whole bevy of stooks leaving their quiet rest ; and, instead of to the stag.kyard, betaking themselves t 3 the stream, where, after being tossed for a while on the troubled waters, they sought shelter in some turning of the stream, or went far beyond their owners' ken. Owing to the late unfavourable weather—which has prevented the crops from being housed, though nearly the whole are cut—there was much more at the mercy of the waters than we remember to have seen at once on any former year ; and several of the owners have tuffered severely. But, great as the loss of crop is, we would be happy were this all. We regret, however, that we have to add the loss of life, in circumstances of a pecu liarly distressing character. The sufferers were a bro ther and siskr of the name of Wilson, children of a small crofter in Cairney, the eldest being but about four teen years of age.

B RIGHTON, SUNDAY. Another dreadful gale from the south came on here this morning. Some eighteen fishing-boats were out, but fortunately they arrived all safe in the course of the day.

I shall never forget my first interview with his Grace. ,Shartlyafter I joined the sth (we were then quartered Dublin), I was ordered on duty as officer of the guard at tho Castle ; his Grace was Lord-Lieutenant ; the Board of Green Cloth held its sittings, and the officers on guard were strange hands just arrived. We were in the room assigned us near the Castle gates, when a care less free-and-easy sort of half sportsman, half groom, strolledin to us, and sitting down to our table, began to talk of the sports of the season and the fun then going on in the Irish metropolis, I did not care to interrupt him; but Delville, a young Cornet of Dragoons, looked at him through a glass, and made one or two very contemptuous replies to the stranger's observations, which, so far from being affronted at, the other took in great good humour, chuckling with laughter, and kicking his legs under the table as if actually dancing with delight. At last Delville deliberately rang the bell. The orderly answered it. " Orderly, ivlio is that fellow?" asked Delville. Judge how he felt when the reply was "His Grace the Lord Lieutenant !" " Good day, gentlemen! Good day, gen tlemen!" said his Grace, laughing heartily as he went out of the room—Old Sporting -Magazine for October. EVENING SUN THE MURDER AT AMPTHiLL. ' On Saturday an inquest, which had been twice pre ..viously adjourned, was resumed before - Mr. Eagles, Coroner for Bedford, at Ridg,mont _House, the residence of Mr. Crouch, an opulent farmer ~ J f Hidgmont, new' Ampthill, Bedfordshire, to investigate. the circumstance. , connected with the death of Miss Mary Anne Crouch aged 19, his niece, and daughter of Mr. William Crouch., of Chalfont The deceased, together with the whae family, had' been poisoned, and suspicion alighted on .Ann Lee, th;. , cook in the service ut Mr. Crouch, who was about to leave her situation, and a male servant:named-George Peppot. _ Mr. Greene, solicitor, of Woburn, was in attendance. on behalf of the family of Mr. Crouch; 'and Mr. Richards. solicitor, of Ampthill, on behalf of the prisoner Ann Lee. Peppot had no adviser. From the evidence read over by, the Coroner, it ap pears the circumstances were as fullow:-- , On the morning of Saturday, the 25th the cousin of deceased,. a, young lady, named Dover, who was on a visit to Mr. Crouch's family, at Ridgmont, prepared to make some cakes, as the deceased and other friends were expected on a. visit the following day. The batter being prepared, Miss Dover required some yeast, but being unable to procure any, she desired the cook, Ann Loe, to let her have a little soda. The accused, Lee, said she had some ready for Use in the spice -box, and handed it to Miss Dover, who mixed it with the batter. On the same day the family dined off rump-steaks, partridges„ and sago-puddings, which were partaken of by the whole of them. Shortly after dinner the whole of the family were taken very ill, and vomited violently. On the fol lowing day(Sunday) the deceased, accompanied by a. friend, Miss Ann Gazlee, arrived on a visit from Chal font. They partook of wine, and ate .a., considerable quantity of the cakes which Miss Dover had made.. Miss Gazlee, however, ate the most, and shortly after was seized with violent fits of vomiting, and -brought great deal off her stomach. The deceased, hOwever,, was unable to do so,. and, notwithstanding medical aid. was called in, she died on the day following. A post nwrtem examination of the body was subsequently made,, arni,the contents of the deceased's stomach subjected to cht mical analysation ; and it was discovered that they wer, o impregnated with a large quantity of arsenic. The renittinder of the steaks were discovered to be impreg nated, with the same deadly poison, which the medical men de, Glared to be the cause of the deceased's death. Betsey' Galon, the housemaid, deposed to having eaten. a small vantity of the batter' with which Miss Dover was malting - the cakes, and being very ill for two or three days afterwards, but %%as unable to account for the cause of it. Mr. Roberts, a grocer of Ampthill, proved that the prisoner Peppot, a few days before the occurrence, had. purchased a quantity of Arsenio of him at his shop, say ing it was for his master,. Mr. Crouch, to destroy rats with. He had since, howkwer, ascertained that he had purchased it without the „slightest knowledge of his master. The CORONER asked the acct..seq parties if they wished. to say anything in the matter ? They both . declared their innocence, and Peppot statesi that he dined on the remainder of the partridges after they came from the dining-room on the Saturday ;_ and :Jet!, the cook, sa id she ate some of the steaks, and neithe, - 'of them felt any ill effects from having done so. They cs mid not account for the soda and pepper being mixed with arsenic. Pep pot declared that he bought the arsenic ot..Mr. Roberts to kill rats, and nothing else; that he never put it in the cupboard where the spice or pepper was kept, and that it was all used for the.purpose he stated. The CORONER summed up at considerable length, ex pressive of regret that there was no distinct evidence to convict any party of having committed the horrible and. inhuman crime which had led to the deceased's death.. The Jury then retired, and, at a late hour, return.'d the following verdict That the deceased Miss Mary Anne Crouch, on the 27th of September last, died fronr. the effects of poison, in eating a cake in which soda was used instead of yeast, which soda contained arsenic wil fully and maliciously put into the same, by some person or persons unknown, for the purpose of destroying life." On the delivery of the verdict, Ann Lee exclaimed, " If she had done 'it, it was by accident, and not wil fully and maliciously ; that was wrong." The prisoners were then told by the Ccroner, as far as he was concerned they were released from custody. THE PRINCESS ROYAL. The steamer of this name belonging to the Brighton apt il Shoreham Stearn Company, of 45 horse power; and fitted'. with Mr. Smith's patent screw propeller, has furnished several proofs of her extraordinary capabilities as a tug, during the late gales, at Shoreham . harbour, on Ihe Sussex coast, having on one occasion towed out two large brigs at on; time against the wind, and a tide setting in at'the rate of four miles an hour. Last week she took put a brig, ,when it was deemed impracticable by almost every one present to make the attempt, owing to ' the heavy seas that was then rolling into the harbour. The Princess, however, accomplished her task nobly ; and, to give: some notion of the violence of the gale, the brig, in sect— ting reefed topsails, carried away both topmasts imme-. diately after the steamer had cast off, and was obliged! to' run for Newhaven, the first port to the eastward of" Brighton, to repair the damage. On Saturday, the 2d inst., the Princess Royal . ' went .to sea with ease, whilst the Dart steamer (a vessel of 120-horse power) which left her moorings five minutes later, was for more than half an hour between the . pier heads, try:ng with all her power to get out, which she dialwhen the tide slackened, a ft e r bei ng drifted eastern towards the harbour several times ; thus showing the disadvantage the cumbrous paddle-boxes and wheels labour under in a strong wind and rough sea ; whereas the propeller, from its protected situation under watts, maintains its power uniformly, and prevents *the vessel :loosing her way at intervals, which is' the case when the.: paddles are lifted out of the water by the rolling or. pitching of the vessel, whereby, from the inequality of • the steam upon the tow-rope, it is frequently broken, and the risk of considerable damage to the ship is incurred. Such practical results prove the superiority of the screw over the paddle-wheel for general purposes, and there can be but little doubt much advantage is derived from placing the means of propulsion in the after part of th a vessel, and being, as it were, shielded from the in fheoce of strong currents by the body of the vessel; and, Nate7its 'rating directly on th e counter - current, ' or dead v doubtless accounts f o r th e foregoing cireustano t . , m COURT CIRCULAR.
