The Great Liverpool Steeple Chase, which has been an object of interest for some time, took place on Wed nesday afternoon, at Aintree Race-course. The race was for a Sweepstakes of 20 sovereigns each, 5 forfeit, with 100 sovereigns added, for hones of all de nominations, carrying 12st. each ; the winner of the Cheltenham Steeple Chase in 1840 to carry 181bs. extra; the second horse to save his stake; no rider to go through any gateway, or more than 100 yards along any road or footpath; any of the horses going over any of the leaps b4ore the race to be disqualified. The following started Rode by Legacy . Seventy-four Mr. Whitworth Goblin Lottery Seqin .

At starting Selim tock the leaf at a good pace, Cigar second, the rest in a cluster, and they got well on till they came to the first leap in a followed field, leading into a short meadow, the spot in which Lottery last yesr made a leap, it is said, of 33 feet. Here Selim, still main taining the lead, git over first, followed by Cigar, Charity, Legacy, and Lottery, the Hawk and Peter Simple last ; they maintained nearly the same position till they came to the two leaps near the canal bridge, where the road crosses the canal. Here Selim was sti 1 first, the others well up. In nearly this position they arrived at the training ground, where a rush took place, Lottery en tering it first, Cigar second, the rest following. Befure reaching the hurdle, Cigar had the lead, and was first over; all the others got well over, Oliver Twist breaking it down. Tho brook next presented itself, and it was cleated by Cigar and Oliver Twist abreast, Lottery third. and the others close behind, with the exception of Goblin, who was some yards in smear. He, however, soon made up his lost ground, and was again with the leading horse. On entering the starting field, the second time round, Lottery, Cigar, and another kept by themselves, the others kept to the right. Here Selim again came in front, followed by Lottery and Legacy, Seventy-four, Hawk, and Goblin along way be hind. Here Oliver fell, but his rider instantly remounted. Selim fell else, but no damage. After clearing the canal bridge, they ran home, Lottery entering the course first, but it was evident that he could not hold it, on account of the extra weight. The race was well contested up the course. Charity got over the dit - th first, and won by a couple of lengths. Cigar Leirg second, Oliver Twist third, Goblin f)urth, and Lottery amongst the group.

Sir,-Li herewith enclose you the copy of d latter written by our immaculite Member, Peter Ainsworth, wherein his reasons are given for his abandonment of his principles. As you have noticed some of them as coming from Sir Robert Peel, I think they are not less worthy your notice as emanating from the now Member for Bolton. You may depend upon it the independent electors of Bolton will relieve him from misrepresenting them the first opportunity that occurs.—Respectfully, Bolton, March 3, 1841. J. M. [core.] Dear Sir,—l received your letter on' Monday last, and the petition from Bolton in favour of Lord Mor peth's Bill, which I presented the same evening to the House of Commons. I - should have written to you earlier, had I not intended to speak on the debate, but as I was unable for two nights to catch the eye of the Speaker, I hasten to lay before you the grounds of my opposition to Lord Morpeth's Bill. Last year, you are aware, I supported Lord Stanley's Bill for reform and amendment is the Irish registration. The Go vernment then decidedly opposed the principle of that Bill; this year, the same Government have not only admitted the principle, but Lord Morpeth publicly declared he should be happy to go along with Lord Stanley, as far as he was able, in improving the system of the Irish registration. However different this lan guage may he to that which assailed Lord Stanley's Bill last year, I should have preferred the Government taking up this important question, and I should not have hesitated giving them my support, had not their Bill, whilst it adopted a mcde of registration almost similar Lord Stanley's, introduced clauses which gave a new Reform Bill to Ireland, rejecting altogether the principle of the Reform Bill of 1832, and creating a new constituency, based upon a .5/. rating to the poor. The Reform Bill comprehends two descriptions of franchise, viz., one for boroughs, the occupancy of houses of a certain value ; the other for counties, a qualificaticn based on property as well as population. The Government Bill recognises the principle of population only. If carried into law, land lords would be enabled to create any num ber of voters on their estates, and we should again witness, as under the 40s. freeholders, a subdivision of farms, and the revival of a system in Ireland, injurious to the moral and social improvement of her people. I have another objection to this Bill. I think it would give additional weight to the agricultural interest in Ireland. In looking over the division of last year on Mr. Villiers' motion for an inquiry into the present system of the Corn-laws, I find only ten Irish Members out of forty voted in its favour. The .50/. tenact ty clause in the English Reform Bill has been considered a great -Won to the agricultural interest ; I am not dis posed to increase that influence by the adoption of a .5/. rating franchise to the poor (two-thirds of which rate is payable by the landlords), and thereby to create a numerous and dependent county constituency. With these main objections to Lord Morpeth's Bill, which, in my opinion, will never even pass the Commons, I could not consistently give it nay support. I beg to remain, dear Sir, Most respectfully your's, P. AINSWORTH. To. J. Winder, Esq., Bolton. House of Commons, March 1, 1841. THE WEATHER. ROYAL GALLERY OF SCIENCE, ADELAIDE- STREET. NOON.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE: A new comedy, in fire acts, entitled London Assurance, wes produced, for the• first time, last night at this theatre. We understand that it is the first dramatic attempt of a young writer, by name Morton ; and if so, it is highly creditable to his talents, for it evinces considerable tact and knowledge of stage effect. The plot—which in places is somewhat confused and perplexing— is as follows :—Sir Harcourt Courtly (Farren) is a rich, vain old man, who, despite his years and infirmities, affects the follies and vices of a youth of fashion, and is specially solicitous to be thought a favourite of the fair sex. At the open ing of the play we find him engaged to be mar ried to a young girl, Grace Harkaway (Madame Vestris), whose guardian, a jolly elderly Norfolk squire (Bartley), has just come to town, with the view of inviting the Baronet to his country seat, Thorpe Hall. While he is preparing to quit Sir Harcourt Courtly's house, a smart, flippant young man (C. Mathews) enters, and introduces himself to the Norfolk squire, as Mr. Dazzle, a friend of the family, and is, in consequence, included in the invitation given to the Baronet. This part of the plot is rather obscure, but we gather that Dazzle, who is a mere London adventurer, has contrived to ingratiate himself with Sir Harcourt's son and heir (Anderson) by assisting him out of a scrape into which he had got one night in consequence of a drunken lark, totally unknown to his father, who had imagined him to be a model of pru dence and propriety. Having received the invi tation to Thorpe Hall, the Baronet hastens to avail himself of it, but is preceded by his son Charles and Dazzle, the former of whom hastens to fall in love with his father's intended, Grace Harkaway ; and when he meets the old man, boldly denkes that lie is in anyway-related Whim, but that his name is Augustus Hamilton—... highly improba')le incident, savouring more of broad farce than comedy. Meantime, the Baronet continues his courtship, but, just as he is accepted, his fickle fancy is diverted by the charms of a lively married woman, Lady Gay Spanker (Mrs. Nes bitt); who, by the dexterous manoeuvring of Dazzle, is persuaded to induce the old fop to be lieve that she is in love with him, in order that by so doing, she may assist his son's suit to Grace Harkaway, her friend and neighbour. As may be supposed, the Baronet falls into the trap so artfully laid for him ; and has already de cided on the place and time of his elope ment with Lady Gay, when an officious bustling attorney, Mark Meddle (Harley), who happens—by some means or other, which .ive do not profess to understand—to be at Thorpe Hall at the time, reveals the plot to the husband, Mr. Adolphus Spanker (Keeley). An eclair cissement immediately takes place. The indig nant husband is prevailed on to send a challenge to the supposed seducer of his wife ; but the joke being explained betimes, all the parties are re conciled; the old Baronet, finding that he has been made a dupe throughout, resolves on refor mation, and, in proof of his sincerity, resigns his claim on Grace Harkaway's hand to his son Charles ; and the play concludes with his reading a fine moral lesson to Dazzle, whose character as a London adventurer—and this gives the title to the comedy—leas been dis covered, through the agency of a bailiff who had followed him and the supposed Augustus 1-1 -mil ton, to Thorpe Hall. Such is a brief outline of the principal incidents of a play, in which there is much more of promise than of positive perfor mance. The plot is neither ingeniously con ceived, nor dexterously unravelled; and as for the chief personages, scarcely one of them can put for th the slightest claims to originality. The foppish old Baronet is but a modernized version of Lord Ogleby ; Lady Gay Siinker, the rattling, off-hand horsewoman, is a revival of Constance in the Love Chase; her husband is a Jerry Sneak, moving, however, in higher lice, and consequently with the more absurd traits of the character softened off; Meddle is a corn pound of Marplot and Paul Pry; and as for the sporting squire and the adven turer Dazzle, they arc such as are familiar to all who have the slightest acquaintance with our modern farces. In what then, it may be asked, lies the great recommendation of the comedy? We answer, in the uncommon spright liness and archness of its dialogue, which abounds in sallies of humour, sometimes of wit, and evinces a point and power of ready repartee of which few living dramatists are capable. Not unfrequently we meet with a sentence turned with all the sparkling polish of the School of Scandal; and sometimes, it must be added, with a co arse allusion worthier of the days of Con greve than the present. The comedy was received with great approbation by a crowded house, and was singularly well acted throughout. Farren played the part of the old beau with a gentle manlike ease and self-possession that showed the consummate artist; Mrs. Nesbitt was spirited and effective as Lady Gay—though in one or two places she over-acted the part, and substituted boisterousness for vivacity; Mathews made a capi tal cockney adventurer, and was as glib of tongue, and ready of suggestion as could have been wished; Bartley, as the squire, displayed a truly . orthodox English jollity ; and Keeley and Har ley did all that could possibly have been done for characters unworthy of their abilities. The scenery throughout was in excellent taste; in deed the comedy seems to have been got up without regard to expense, and was announced for repetition every evening. We conclude with saying that if it really be the first dramatic effort of a young man, it is—so far as the dialogue is concerned—the most promising effort we have Witnessed of late years.

The most important part, however, of the time table to the inhabitants of Man chester, is the fact of a second railway route between this town and London, by means of which parties can travel to Rugby (thirty miles nearer London) at the same fare as is now charged to Birmingham. The fare by this route from Manchester to London, we perceive, is only IL is. for third class passengers. — Manchester Guardian, .Feb. 27.

Longman, London, 1841. In this volume there are two showy illustra tions, engraved by Heath from original designs furnished by Maclise. The subject of one is a group of young Greek girls dancing by moon light in the gorge of a lofty mountain, with the sea at a distance ; the other represents a party of Thracian huntresses resting at sunset after the toils of the chase. The last, which has a truly picturesque back-ground, is the best, for there is a want of proportion in some of the dancing figures in the first plate. The Preface gives a brief sketch of the celebrated gala which took place at Boyle Farm in the year 1827, when all the fashionable world of London was present ; and also—which is far more interesting—some reminiscences of a visit which Moore paid to Scott at Abbotsford, from which we quote the following passages : I I must say, that, pleased as my illustrious friend appeared really to be, when I first sting for him at Abbotsford, it was not till an evening or two after, at his own hospitable supper table, that I saw him in his true sphere of musical enjoyment. No sooner had the quaigh taken its round, after our repast, than his friend, Sir Adam, was called upon, with the general acclaim of the whole table, for the song of '6 Hey tuttie tattle," and gave it out to us with all the true national relish. But it was during the chorus that Scott's delight at this festive scene chiefly showed itself. At the end of every r v o e u rs n d the whole company rose from their scats, and stood _ _ table with arms crossed, so as to grasp the hand of tht n keep boor down, all bour on each side. Thus interlinked, we continued to keep measure to the strain, by moving our armstt,e attie u p • t , hey tuttie f this I confess, a zest and chanting forth vociferously, 66 Iley tuttie tattle." Sir Walter's enjoymen t o old Jacobite chorus— a little increased, doubtless, by seeing how I entered into the spirit of it—gave to the whole e charm in my eyes such as the finest musical performance could not have bestowed on it. Having been thus led, to allude to this visit , I am tempted to mention a few other 'circucrri i nburh, whither Sir Walter, in grslances connected with it. From Abbotsford I proceede d to stay that city • in a few days a fter, followed Ei ; and during my short city an incident occurred, which, though already mentioned by Scott in his Diary, and owing its chief interest to the con nection o f his name with it, ought not to be omitted am ong memoranda. As I had expressed a desire to visit the these burgh theatre, which opened but the evening before my departure , it was proposed to Sir Walter and myself, by our friend Jarey, that we should dine with him at an early hour, for that purpose, and both were good-naturedenou, oglhum to e sent ac company me to the theatre. Having found, in a ‘ t o me by some anonymous correspondent, a more circum s t a ntial account of the scene of that evening th an Si r Walter has given in his Diary, I shall here avail myself of its graphic and ( with one exception) accurate details. After adverting to the sensation produced by the appearance of the late Duchess of St. Alban's in one o f the boxes, the writer thus L proceeds There was a geueral buzz and stare, for a few ZQ~ i~ ' J ,/ \~ E VENING EDITION'. seconds : the, audience then turned thei r b ac k s to the lady, and thei r attention to the stage, to wait till the first piece should be over ere they intended staring again. Just as it terminated, another party quietly glided into a box near that filled by the Duchess. One pleasing female was with the three male corners. In a minute the cry ran round :—' Eh, yon's Sir Walter, wi' Lockhart an' his wife, and wha's the wee tit bodie wi' the pawkie een ? Wow, but it's Trtu Moore, just— Seoit, Scott! Moore, Moore !'—with sh-uts, cheers, bravos, and applause. But scott would not rise to appropriate these tributes. One could see that he ureed Moore to do so ; and he, though modestly reluctant, at last yielded, and bowed hand on heart, with much animation. The cry for Scott was then redoubled. He gathered himself up, and, with a be nevolent bend, acknowledged this deserved welcome. The orchestra played alternately Scotch and Irish melodies." Among the choicest of my recollections of that flying visit to Edinburgh, are the few days I passed with Lord Jeffrey at his agreeable retreat, Craig Crook. I had then recently written the words and Music of a glee contained in this vo lume, " Ship a boy 1" which there won its first l:onours. Se often, indeed, was I ended upon to repeat it, that the upland echoes of Craig Crook ought long to have had its burden by heart. CECIL. 3 Vats: Bentley, London, 1841. Cecil is a novel of the Vivian Grey school, possessing all its assumption, but combined with more point and vigour of style than any of the novelists of that school have yet exhibited. The hero, who is his own biographer, pourtrays him self as a fashionable coxcomb of the first water a character of no great interest, but which, never theless, is here rendered interesting by the re deeming touches of quick and kindly feeling in which it abounds - . The Hon. Cecil Danby is indeed, by no means so much of a cox comb as he represents himself to be, and so far, therefore, his idiosyncracy is not con sistently maintained. Flippant he certainly is, addicted to the frivolous dissipations of high life, ready at the small talk of the boudoir and the club, and vain of his personal accom plishments; but these are the mere superficial points of his character, shuffled aside and re sumed at will; his better and more enduring qualities—and which are evidently the most na tural to him —are, his strong common sense, en larged by habits of thought and observation, his ready sympathy with genius, his unaffected moral courage, and, above all, his acute sensibility. The story of his life, which is told throughout with unflagging spirit, wears an aspect of reality which we do not often meet with in fictions of this class, being just sufficiently spiced with romance to interest the reader, without startling his credulity. Of course, as may be inferred from its title, the tale abounds in sketches of fashionable life, and reminiscences of the Carlton House coterie, when the Prince was in the flower of his man hood; but these are far from being its chief ex cellences, for, notwithstanding their occasional sprightliness and caustic humour, there is an aristocratic arrogance about them that repels, rather than conciliates the reader. The best por tions of the story are those wherein the author essays the earnest and the pathetic, as in his epi sodes of Emily Barnet and her distracted father; the death of Cecil's nephew; and the entire nar rative of Franszetta, the Bohemian dancing-girl, in which last episode there is as much genuine tenderness and manly vigour of description, as is to be found in Hope's account of Euphrosyne, and. the last moments of Anastasius. We have spoken of our author's flippancy. Here is an instance in point. Alluding incidentally to our greatest living poet, -he speaks of him as "a fellow called Wordsworth," and yet, notwith standing this affected contempt, he does not hesitate to borrow from him the most striking thought in his novel. That our readers may not imagine we are speaking without warrant, we quote first our author's tame, flat, prosaic imitation, and next the ori ginal passage from which it is taken without acknowledgment. " We bring with us," says Cecil, in one of his moralizing moods, "into this shabby little planet, a reflection of the heavenly► light from which our souls are emitted ; but the longer we live, the more the earthly particles obtain the ascendancy over its brightness, and blot out the spark divine." Precisely, the same idea is thus exquisitely developed by Words worth : " Heaven lies about us in our infancy ; Shades of the prison -house begin to close Around the growing boy,— The youth who daily further from the East Must travel, still is nature's priest, And by the vision splendid Is on his way attended, At length the man perceives it die away, And fade iota the light of common day." We would recommend the author of Cecil—. should he again try his hand at fiction—to en deavour to think for himself, and not degrade and disfigure the noble thoughts of others. As we have already hinted, he has considerable ta lent, but certainly not so much as to justify him in affecting a tone of superciliousness towards an author so immeasurably his superior as Words worth. LA BELLE ASSEMBLEE. A well-engraved half-length portrait of the late Lady John Russell, forms the frontispiece to this Number, and if the portrait bear any re semblance to the original, she must have been an exceedingly beautiful woman, possessing one of those lively, intellectual countenances which painters love to draw from. In the literary de partment of the Magazine, there are some enter taining tales in prose, anedivers small poems, of which the less said the better. METROPOLITAN MAGAZINE. Mrs. Trollope, we perceive, figures promi nently among the contributors to this periodical, and leads off with a tale entitled the " Blue Belles of England," which has already reached its seventh chapter. There is some sarcasm in this tale, but it wants grace and elegance, which are qualifications in which this clever writer has alwrys shown herself remarkably deficient. " Address to the Twenty-second Day of Jarm an," is a poem from the pen of Mr. George Raymond. The stanzas possess considerable melody of versification, and a vein of genuine sensibility runs through them, satisfying us that the poet's heart was in his subject. " History of the Jews" is a theme not to be hastily taken up after Millman, who has already said—and said well, too—all that is necessary to be said on the subject. It is here treated in a manner by no means calculated to recommend it. " Lord Kil likelly" is much improved this month, especially as regards its dialogues, which are spirited and pointed. Of the few remaining articles, the best is the "Memoirs of an Italian Exile." ENGLISH JOURNAL. A cheap, amusing weekly miscellany, consist ing partly of compilations, and partly of original contributions. Mrs. Hall and Douglas Jerrold are among the contribuors; the latter furnishing a clever sketch of character, drawn manifestly from the life, entitled the " Toll-bar Keeper.' There is also a spirited poem, by Cyrus R e ddi ng, the subject of which is the " Fate of Saul." MONTHLY LAW MAGAZINE. There are here some sensible observations on the subject of the Earl of Cardigan's trial, where in, after stating that his Lordship was entitled to his acquittal, the writer proceeds to remark : " For our own part, we regard the acquittal as a matter of slight importance ; the fact that 12e . has been tried is all-important; that fact will. w_;_j e l.. serve as an admonition and a precedent .the magistracy;into that fact will lead to inquiry inate ;. and. all duels, no matter how the that fact is the first huge strid3er towards f r antic custom."
