A letter from Rome, May 25, in the Leipsic Gizette, says : "Don Miguel resides at Albano in great retirement. When the Pope had decided on recognizing Qiseen Donna Maria, he sent. for the Pretender to the throne of Portugal, and an nounced to him in a private audience that. serious reasons in duced him to recogni<v the existing Government of Portugal. The Pzinc, was much affected. The Po i se •endeavoured to console him by pointing out to him in perspective a pension incluling arrears for past years, and declared to him that he would write to that effect to the Court of Portugal, and if that was not sufficient he would despatch a Legate. Don Mi guel replied, Holy Fattier, you are the Father of toe Chris tian world; do as Sou think proper.' His Holiness then em braced him, holding out some hopes of a change of eircum• stances. Miguel returned home, when his friends, among when was the Bishop of Evora, so persuaded him that four days afterwards he sent M. Labradie to Rome to beg the Pope not to interfere in his behalf, as he was unwilling is ie nounce his rights. The Pope felt highly displeased, as he had already writtun to the Portuguese Government." • Direct accounts from Syria say that the Emirs, of the Druses and Maronites have positivelynotified to the Turkish authorities that they will not recounize any hatti scherif or tariff, or in geile ral any to which they have not given their free consent. . They have at this moment a corps of observation at Jericho and in the environs, and an advanced post at Ascalon. These troops are intended as a check on the Bedouins, who take advantage. of the present state of anarchy to ravage the country. The successes of the Candiotes fill the hearts of the Chris tians with joy, while the massacres in Bulgaria irritate them against the Mussulmans. The Bishops have just ordered a fu neral service in all the churches to the memory of the Bulga rian martyrs. At Damascus the Mussulmans, the Christians, and the Jews are watching each other. At Aleppo the minds of the people are equally agitated. All commerce has. ceased. —Le Commerce. BOURSE—PARis, MONDAY, JUNE 14. First Highest Lowest Lad Price I'rice.

A Com mission had been appointed to inquire into the state of the QUEEN'S health. - Her MAJESTY'S ordinary medical advisers recommended sulphur baths; but the physicians appointed by. the Cortes declared such baths to be mine cessary. It is no new thing to find doctors differing, and yet this difference among the Sangrados of Spain ap pears to have greatly disconcerted the Cortes. In the Senate Senor CAnunsco made a motion to obtain from the Government ',some account of the young QUEEN'S health. The Government, of course, could only refer the Cortes to the reports made by the Commissioners. It is reported that DONNA ISABELLA 11. is of a scorbutic ha bit of body, and that it' is very doubtful whether she will live to attain her majority. Her sister is likewise very delicate. • The Minister of Finance was labouring in vain to hook the capitalists. None of them appeared disposed to swallow the bait. - No honeyed words—no fine promises— no visions of proSpective wealth ,had tempted them to exchange their cash for the paper securities of the Spanish Government. Still . the Ministers did not abso lutely despair of finding fresh fiols with more bullion than brains. The funds, however, continued heavy, and in the Fives sales were with difficulty effected at 26 for cash. German Papers of late dates have been received. The following paragraphs from them include all the news hey contain of any European interest : VIENNA, JUNE 4.—The Grand Duchess of OLleuburg arrived here yesterday, and lodges at the residence of her brother, the Prince of Wasa. _ _ _ According to merchants' letters f, om Pesth, the town of Kasclian, in Hungary, has been visited with a dreadful con flagration, which destroyed above 100 houses. hUßrcisn FRONTIERS, MAY 31.—The three overdue mails from Sores and Salonichi have not yet arrived, nor have we been able to obtain any certain information respecting the causes of the delay ; we hope to receive them with the next mail from Constantinople. Letters from the Hcrzegowina say that the old Governor of that province has repeatedly received orders from the Porte to repair to Constantinople, but continues to decline complying with those orders, under the pretext that his great age, and the wounds which he has received in the public service, will not allow him to undertake so long a journey. Meantime the oppression of the Christian pupu;ation in the province of the Herzegowina continues in an alarming manner. The truce between the Vizier of Mostar and the Vladika of Mon tenegro, which expired on the 3d of May, has been renewed. The typhus rages in a fearful manner in Bosnia. VIENNA, JuNE 4.—The Directors of the Austrian National Bank yesterday fixed the dividend for the first half year of 1841, at 38 florins, reserving besides four florins for the divi dend cf the second half year. The dividend for the whole year may therefore be taken at 84 florins, which s -► represents a capital of 1,650 florins, and consequently proves the proceeds of the bark have not been affected, as was feared, by the circu lation of credit, which has been often spoken of, and therefore a rise its the price of Bank Shares may be speedily expected.— Allgenteine Zeitung, June 10.- Letters from Constantinople of the 2C th ult., have been received this morning. The Peke, in order tor allay the irritation in the provinces of Adrianople, Silistria, and Monastic, had removed their Governors and appointed HAFIZ PACIIA, NOURI EFFENDI, and RESCHID EFFENDI to succeed them.

One case of plague had showed itself on board. According to reports made by the Captain the plague was committing dreadful ravages throughout Syria. In the towns of Bey-rout and Acre the number of deaths daily was very great. To add to the miseries of Syria the people are very discontented, and have great reason to complain of the harshness and cruelty of the newly appointed Turkish authorities. Mr. Fox Maule is to be appointed Vice-President of the Board of Trade, in the room of Mr. Sheil, who goes out as Governor of Bombay. Sir James'Graham, turned out of Pembroke, rejected by Westminster, and having. lost all hope of getting re turned by any independent constituency, has made his peace with the Lowthers. He has asked pardon for all his former opposition and insults. He has craved their mercy—they have forgiven him. They have further resolved to make use of him, and bring him in for one •of their own. pocket- counties or • boroughs. Probably the good men of Westmorland may be com manded to elect Sir James Graharra Those who have no will of their own must obey their lord's orders. The Borough of Wenlock, we understand, would be sure to return a Liberal were Lord Wenlock, who has considerable influence in the borough, to allow one of his own sons to start for it. The party to which the Nob4e:Lord is attached, and which has done much for him i having made him a Peer, are rather surprised that the Noble Lord does not exert himself more to secure the success of those who have helped him to his honours. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, attended by the Royal suite, are expected to leave Nunah am, the seat of hi 3 Grace the Archbishop of York, between ten and eleven o'clock this morning, on their return to town. LAUNCH OF THE TRAFAI.GAR.—Wre have authority to state that from the numerous impositions practised at the launch of the Thunderer on the 12th of September, 1831, by persons gaining admittance in uniforms though belonging. to neither branch of the • cervice, no person whatever can be admitted on the 21st into the main gate of the Dockyard, without a ticket signed by the Captain Superintendent. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. Having at present but little else to occupy their atten tion, the jobbers in the Foreign Securities, and in Con sols, have shown an inclination to do a little business in the'betting line, by taking and giving odds according as their Conservative or Liberal inclinations predominate, relative to the prospect of success for the new candidates to represent the City of London in Parliament. Of course Lord John Russell is the chief card with •them, and we • believe that very few would be tempted to giVe long odds against him. In other respects to-day's operations on the Stock Exchange require no especial commentary, the • value of the leading Stocks having fluctuated to a very trifling extent. Consols were steady at 89k, buyers and sellers, for the Opening, ex dividend; ,the Reduced Three . per Cent. Annuities realised 89 to 89k; the Three-and a. Half per Cent.

Isi DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS. AMSTERDAM, JUNE 12.—One of the principal com mercial houses littie has commtmicated to us the follow ing extract from the Hamburgit Courant :- 4' limmunGH, JUNE ,7 friend has communicated to us the following intelligence from Singapore to the 9th of April, - and from Batavia to the 12th of March, which have come- overland. It was said that in the be ginning of March there were new and great embarrass ments at Batavia, in consequence of which all the mer chants' houses in that place insisted that the exchange debts should be converted into value in account current, in Order..,fe - be paid at periods to be afterwards fixed. This sacrifice, required by the shareholders of the Bank, has caused i , great sensation. The necessity of this measure is proved by the fact that u the Bank shares, which two years ago were not to be had for 1,800 florins, .might have - been.- had for 10 florins, if the capitalisation had not been atropted. This has been done, and ail neces, sary steps have been taken to render the payment of the debts as easy as possible, and it is thus that not only the shareholders, but the Bank itself are relieved from their embarrassments. The time for payment was not yet fixed, but it was supposed that it would be seven years with six per cent. interest, and the clause that such debtors should not discount with the Bank. On the 24th of February a revolt sud denly broke out in Sumatra, in consequence of which the only road to the north by the mountains was inter cepted by the natives. Fort Ducock was invested, and had water for only five - . days ; the inhabitant's of Tigsblas, near Pada*, were still quiet, but the Europeans re mained seten. miles from Padang, and all the ships were detained in order to take them on board in case of danger." We have received from Batavia direct news of the 6th of March, the authenticity of which we answer for, and -which-say..that five great commercial houses in that city have stopped payment, and that the general embarrass ments which has been thereby caused had led to a gene ral assembly of the proprietors of the Java Bank, in which -it was resolved that the - bank should withdraw and destroy all the papers of the bankers' houses, and should debit them for the amount with six per cent. interest to be gradually repaid at intervals to be deter minedt the said houses engaging not to put any new .paper into . circulatiam till the liquidation shall be ended. This arrangement has given great satisfaction at Batavia, and his Exeellency the Governor-General has guaran teed the permanent circulation of the Bank paper. No mention is made in this-last account of an insur re:Alen-in Batavia, as spoken of in the Hamburr,h Cou rant; however, we do nut positively knoiv whether news from Sumatra of. the 24th of February, could have been received at Batavia on the 6th of March. We learn from persons acquainted with the country that so im portant :apiece of. news might have been received at Ba tavia in the time specified. AMSTERDAM, JUNE 14.—We are still of an opinion that if there had been such a serious revolt in Sumatra on the 24th of February, it must have certainly have been known at Batavia on tile 6th of March, of which day we communicated direct accounts from that city, which make no mentioraof it—Hande/ablad, June 14 and 15. HAMBURCH, JUNE I.—Councillor Von Hufenden, Hanoverian'Deputy in the Stade Commission, left our city a few days ago, and returned to Hanover. The two English Deputies, Messrs. Ward and Hanbury, are still here. . The negotiations are not concluded, as has been reported, but merely delayed for some time, because the Hanoverian Government objects to the great reduction of the Stade toll which is required by Great Britain. It seems that Mr. Ward entirely disputes the validity of the rata of the toll existing since 1891, whereas Hanover affirms that it was approved by the Commission which met at Dresden in the tanne year. It is therefore be lieved that the Elbe. Navigation Commission will be assembled this year either at Dresden. or Magdeburg, when' the question of the Steele toil will be the subject of farther negotiation. (We refer to the following letter) Haahat7acin .TUNE 3.—We hasten to a cqua i n t you with an event respecting the Stade toll which will not a little surplice the Mereantileworld. Though thisis only one of the many irregularit:es in levying the Stade toll it 'appear:. the more enanortant at a moment when a Commission has been appointed to exa m i ne i nto an tiquated r ights. h It appeared that in April, IS.IO , t h e English brig. T ornly, Captain Fm oran, arri ve d at. Ham burgh, with a cargo o f various gooda, from Li verpoo l, among which waso on which' the receiver of the Stade toll c harged after the parcel of East India eruseoa nuts, bill of lading from Liverpo( 1, according the value therein not( It 'erpeara farther that in Ala . V, 1841, that is about thirteen months later, the same ship came again to i ;:i#4l,llaurgh with a cargo o f coals, on whi ch occasion the a a , s ef • ormed, on the part of Hanover, that in the precedVig ye a la hp le of violat . e ti d the regulatieras S ta ala, because the unto' llnts was much be jow the market price, and, therefore, 14 . Wge the differono' of the toll for the higher value, and to pay a fine b<isides. The captain endeavoured to prove his in nocene.a by observin g that he was only the cam eyor of the nuts, and had ro further knowledge of their value than the bill of Indite.; afforded, which is the more natural, as bill s o f tai ling have generally the words, The contents, &c., unknown." This circumstance alone ought immediately to , have eaerdpated him. For, supposing there had been reasons to levy to penalty, it could not be on the eapat in, but rather on the shipper or the receiver of the goods, against whom, after so long an interval, no action for further payment can be brought. Clear as these reasons are, they are rejected with con tempt by the Hanoverian - Ministers, and, at the same time, notice was given to Captain Forman that he must submit, or that the certificate of the return, without which he could not pee• - , Brunhaunen, Would be;: refused till he had either paid the sum demanded cegiven se curity for it. As he found, in the end, that all remon strances were vela, and that neither the English Consul nor Mr. Ward could immediately obtain justice for him, he was obliged to yield ia' °alert() avoid further annoy ance and loss of time, or to engage in a law suit, the re sult of which woeld h ave been Unfavourable to him. These are the main filets; but what is most worthy of notice is the circumstance that Captain 'Foreman shelved to the Hanoverian authorities to letter from Mr, Preston, Secre tary to the 1- - ;tade Commission, in which Mr. Ward ex pressed liia regret that lit: -. could not assist him while negotiations were pending, brit that, nevertheless, he un equivocally cleelar e d that the British Government did not allow the Crown of Hanover any right to make esti inatan of the valu e of goods at its• owa pleasure. or to inflict arbitrary penalties ; that he hoped the time was - riot distant when British and foreign ships would%e freed from the irregular exactions of the Stade takll, such has had occurred in the present,case of Nvhich the captain very justly complains. So much is certain that the right to enforce arbitrary estimates after a lapse of a year, and to inflict penalties for violations of the regulations which cannot be proved, puts an end to the secur shipowner,personsityor or a c i a t p d taint property and exposes the mer chant, awe, and hostile treat men t. fthe right to fix a higher va l ue upon goo ds after an interval If official Hanover des p p o4is a m s . se ir of thirteen months, because the price had risen in the mean time, then on the other hand the receiver must have a right to require an indemnity from the Custom House if the price had fallen, and it is evident what con fusion would arise front such a state of things. These evils owe their origin to the concession of Hambitrgh to allow a Hanoverian Custom House in its own hoUndary, and to permit its officers freely to inspect the registers of the CuStom-house of the city. Though it is evident that such a syatem Must soon be,brolten up, if the nume rous adversaries of it would seriously set about it, the long continuance of it is another int.lant'hi - dy proof of the wound which farmer divisions have infix: veil on our dig nity and our interest.

PARKES'S (L PI: MR. BOWYER'S) ILLUSTRATED BIBLE. in Lamartine's late poem, "La Chute d'un Ange," he represents his holy hero as having in his possession an inestimable Bible, which bu'kled together with diamonds, and ose co verlid blazed with gold. Mrs. Parkes's Bible (at the private view of which, yeste'rday, we made it our duty to attend), though it attracts not equally by external show, yet from its intrinsic contents is invaluably precious; and the recondite and re markable nature of these, reasonably allow it to be reckoned an unique and unparalleled book— the " flos forum" of Bibles. The entirety of our authorised Bible, including the Apocrypha, is comprehended in forty-flve large folio volumes. Of these heavy . tomes the text-leaves occupy but an inconsiderable portion, the grand bulk of the work being swelled out by 7,000 engravings, which, on every imaginable subject have, by the labour and research of years, been gradu ally accumulated and set in order. Scarce a solitary bible-point of interest, whether 4 scientific, geographical, historic, or scenical, but here assumes to itself some pictured form. You open a page of Genesis, and forth wi:ll your eye is greeted with some early charto grapher's plan of " Eden rich in bdellium and the onyx-stoue,"—or some painter's imagination of her sparkling primal bowers. .The " gopher trees," about which there has been a world of leariard criticism, are so represented from spe cies existing in the Holy Land, that you at once acknowledge them the sanie , with which Noah timbered his Deluge-ark. Passing par hazard to the Exody, Bishop 31=kford's or Prideaux's elaborate arithmetic on the dimension's of the Ark and Temple puzzle. not the brain a second; the " golden measuring -reed". of the artist has already anticipated all perplexity, and helps you at once to ell and cubit. Instead of poring over the prosy " Prolegomena" of Dr. Widtini; or the ' " Phaleg and Canaan" of nhchart Ibr satisfaction on some geographical point, here map and chart enanre your accuracy at a glance, and all localities from Dan to Beersheba, from the shores Of Joppa to the Hills of Aramcea, appear clear to the eye, as if the actual country were reflected on the retina. Pass.to the animal department, and the ant and the unicorn—Queen Slieba's apes and . - Zachariah's red horses, are one and all illustrated. The magna and minima of the vegetable kingdom, " from the cedar of -Le banon to the hyssop that springeth up on the wall," are as copiously displayed as ever they were in Solomon's lost book. in fine, a com pleter ".Apparatas Biblicus" could not be ; while the Allegories, Typ3s, and Parable•7—the scenes or shadows of mysterious or historical grandeur with w:kich the Bible abounds, from the times of the Patriarchs to the " latter days of Revelation," are amply illustrated by transcripts from the lofty paintings which a host - of men, with Rafaelle, Rosa, and Angelo, imagined. The original draughts of De Loutherbourg for Macklin, form spirited attaches to the begin nings and ends of the sacred books. They are struck off in the style of Blake's uncouth imagin ings, and are invested with a vague and mystic symbolism. The Dutch and Flemish schools most prolifically furnish every page. Next to these appears the Roman school, with the name ' of " Legion;" while the French and English studios are comparatively scant of contribution ; but-these, if few, are fine. Mezzotints, etchings, wood engravings, and the tine steel and copper productions of the present day, abound in every variety,. from the largest plate to the minutest block, in the shape of fieurons, tail-pieces, or vignettes. We would briefly observe, in conclusion, that the obscurity of many texts is far better eluci dated by these pictorial commentaries than by all the annotations of the " Critici Sacri." Con troversy as to whether Leah's mandrakes were lilies of jaSmine, colocynth or balsam, is best settled by seeing the plant itself, and calling it by its Chaidee name, Dudaim. The Teraphim of Labm are no longer stumbling-blocks, when the identiecl idols appear upon the page. This is valuable Bible is now advertised fur 3,000 guineas; equal it has none: and by the e:!sy arrangements for its disposal by ten guinea t'ckets, will. become the property of some one for comparatively less than a pepper-corn. Mr. Hiltjn's picture of the Triumphal Entry of the Duke of Wellington into Madrid, forms a second prize, for 599 guineaS; there are other valuable enaanvinga also on view. THE DEAD ALINTE.—On the 23] of April lust th? 14oniteetr Parisien states, M. N., a gentleman residing at St. Germain, left that place for Paris, with tho, declared intention of taking a small lodging for his wife and daughter, to enjoy the amusements of the King's fete on .the Ist of May, carrying with him be tween 500 f. and -600 f. Day after day passed, and no intelligence was heard from or could be obtained of him, until the 10th ultimo, when the journal of the Seine-et-Oise a nnounce d t h a t the body Of a man, pierced with many wounds, had been taken: out of the river at Porcheville. This report hav ing increased the anxiety of the family to an intense degree, the father 6f Mme. N. proceeded to M an t es w i t h another of.,his suns-in - law a nd a physician, and having obtained such a descr i p tion of the b ody of the man them led found in the water a}k • to believe it must. be that of the lost a N., they obtained an authori sation for its being disinterred for their examination. This being done,. they discovered, or thought they dis covered, for the corpse was in an advanced state of de composition, certain known marks and indications which convinced them it -wns that of him they sought. On this confirmation of her fears being communicated to her, Mine. N. was for several days in a state bordering on insanity. At length it was decided b y the fami ly that the remains sheuld'be bru r rrht front Mantes to be interred at Saint G e rmain, and - , the preparations being complete, the day for the transport was fired, and notice sent to Mine; N. who Was to be present at the solemn ceremony. T hi s letter arrived at St. Germain on the instiuit, and was talieo up to Mme. N. by a person whose appearance pr edticed upon her a sensation even mere powerful, thr ugh of a very different nature,' than all she had pn-viously experienced. It was M. N. himself, who hail just returned from a long journey ; and delivered into her hands the notice of his own ex humation, which he had received from the porter as he came into the house. , T o y R E .—As the last shift, the Tory faction have the fully to report that the Marquis of Kildare will not sect pt the invitation of his fellow -citizens. 'We warn our frit nds against this poor device of the enemy. The cuffs, we have excellent authority for stating, will act cpt cheerfully the , tribute of respect thus shown to li'mself and his illustrious family.

In this Pail there are not less than four en gravings; one of which, called " The .Squaw's Grave," deserves great praise as a carefully exe cuted work of art. It represents a scene on the Ottawa River, which spreads out, like a huge lake, to the extreme verge of the horizon, while its Banks, which form the foreground of the picture, present to the eye as pictimsqut, an ob ject as could be desired. The literary descrip tions of .?.d . r. Willis are passable enough. SCENERY and ANTIQUITIES of IRELAND. Virtue, London, 1841. Though inferior to Mrs. Hall's splendid work on Ireland, and far more limited in its plan, yet the present publica:ion is not without its value, lbr its plates are invariably good, and some of them of superior excellence. Of such a character is the sketch of Ross Castle, in the enchanting neighbourhcod of the Killarney lakes, which is touched off with singular , grace and delicacy. The little wooded islands in the background, whose shadows are reflected in the serene., wave less waters, and the bold ruins of the rock-hised castle in front, give great beauty and variety tt the landscape. The letter-press portifin of the work is but indifferent. L ETE RAT URE SUPPLEMENT TO WADE'S BRITISH HIS- TORY. Wagon, London, 1841. In the preface to his able chronological " His tory of Great Britain," Mr. Wade has justly ob served, "it is only by marshalling in line, as it were, events and occurrences, foreign and do mestic, moral and physical, social and intellec tual, that the bearing and action of an age can be comprehended. Changes of the seasons, do mestic incidents, discoveries and inventions, the births, characters, and deaths of remarkable persons —all contribute to the drama of life, in fluence the course of legislation, the policy of . Government, and the progress of society ; and unless each is explained and brought forward in its due place, proportion, and juncture, the pan orama is incomplete, the contemporary scents imperfectly delineated, and the reader's path ob scure and perplexed. The author's History, which, if we remember rightly, appeared in the cc - muse of last year, was conducted upon the plan here laid down, and, as nti ! rht have been ticipated, met with very general approbation. Something, however, was still ivantiu , . to its completion, and accordingly, in the work Lefire as, Mr. Wade has furnished us with a Sapplement, wherein he gives several useful practical Lists and Tables; and, among others, a table of the relative value of gold coin from the Conquest to . the present time, and a curious alphabetical list of the principal public treaties and conventions between European nations from the period of the fourteenth century. Thus carefully corn pleted, we cannot vermit ourselves to doubt of the lasting success of Mr. Wade's History. SETTLERS AT HOME. Knight, London, 1841. This little volume forms one of the numbers of Miss Martineau's " Play-felioe—a series oi tales, the first Number of which we noticed a few days since, and whik li i t is proposed to publish quarterly. The tale is entitled the " Szttlers at Home," and details the fortunes of an industrious, harmless, Dutch family, who had settled in the north-east of England, among the swamps of Lincoln, during the period of the great civil war ; and by unwearied perseverance and i%- f , ,,ennity had managed to drain a cons::1?r -able portion of the . land, so as to r.ader it arable, and fit also for the rearing of fruits and vegetables. By doing so, however, the honest Dutch folks injured .the interests of many of the neighbouring peasantry, who, from time Imme morial, had supported themselves by fishing; and shooting in the swamp ; and the tale is chi.fiy occupied with detailing• the hardships that the .Dateh. settlers sustaitied.at their hands. It is pleasantly written, in a style of easy, fan: iar eloquence. SATAN: A POEM: Mz:rray, Glasgo c, 1841. We have here, what the title-page calls, "The People's Edition of Satan"—a poem ivhieh in its day enjoyed a very fair measure of popularity. Two prefaces—one, we suppose, not being deemed sufficient—are prefixed to the NirCr::, both of which are writte n i n a .ver b ose , turgid style, and are singularly deficient in idols. Here is a sentence, for instance, which,though evidently intended to be pregnant with thought, scents ;o our limited understanding, to be a mere jumble of nonsnse :—" How much it would tend to lift us out of the blinding materialism in which we are so co:dent to grovel, if we dilated the finite into the infinite, and so Owed our judgments to run parallel with the eternity to come rr . Again, what on earth is the meaning of the " stream of time rolling forward to an eternal conclu sion ?" How can that which is eternal ever •be concluded ? With regard to the poem, the author has certainly made many alter ations for the better in it; and it now trundles on smoothly enough ; the best portions of it are the descriptive; and Mr. Mont2.oinery seems to be aware that description is his forte, for lie gives us sunrises and sunsets without number; to say nothing of a couple of thunder storms, one of which commences and the other conchides Satan. THE REPERTORY OF PATENT INVEN TIONS.—No. XC. J. S. Hodson, 112, Fieet-street. So fertile in discovery as is the present age, it is but judicious to have a specific record, wherein more solid nd patentable inventions should be preserved. This is the purpose of the " Reper tory," and during 1840-41, we are glad to observe that inventive men have chiefly turned their at tention to improvements in those departments, whose importance craves more than ordinary consideration, as Steam and Weaving. Not one of the least curious in the present number con sists of Mr. Nyren's improvements in the manu facture of oxalic acid, singularly effected by po tatoe and harsc-chesnut juice. THE PICTORIAL HISTORY OF FRANCE. Part I. Orr and Co., Paternoster-row, 1841. National prejudices are fast disappearing-, and one nation desires to look into the history of another, for the wisdom or pleasure which its pages garner. The history of France possesses peculiar interest for Engli3limen, since the his tories of the two countries are so intimately in terwoven—and most of our olden institutions fathered by feudalism. Mr. Bussey's work, whereof the present forms the First Part, is commendable tbr accuracy and detail. Dismiss ing those remote times, of which no authentic voice bears record, he takes up his history at that period of which "in the Comment u ics Ciesar writ," and coevally with which C!ovis filled the Frank throne. Around this King in the present number the entirety of events %vneel as round a common centre. In his reign the land of France appears as a roomy platform, on which, amid the semi-transparent obscurity of the times, great but barbarous movement.: oc cur. The Cinibri and Teutons, Alemanni and Helvetii, pouring out of their northern hives, seek for fairer than their rugged homes amid the valleys of the Loire and the Garonne. The overthrows they meet with from the Romans —a small but magnanimous band, circumvallat lag themselves among their barbaric swarms — forms a singular portion of history, knowing as we do that these Franks - were no trivial enennes, for, hardened by perpetual toils, it was affirmed of them, " that the snows of winter were as pleasant to them as the flowers of spring." Th2.author renders his history additienally at tractive by many minor anecdotiana interspersed: —as of the defeat of the Helvetic host on a summes day at Langres—the answer of the proud Goth Ariovistus to CEesir—the !zigoth law for aKi " Thou wilt be King ii thou perform just actions, .but if not, King th(ai wilt not be," &c. &c. The work is creditably got up and print good--and the vignettes embodied in the text well-designed and neat. The true character of the 'forks has been ex hibited in a most striking light during the last few nights in the Howe of Commons. Some reckless parti.ian of 31r. Walter's (Nottingham) Laving presented, through the immaculate Mr. Godson, of Kiddern.inster, a pet:- tion alleging bribery against the _Ulm-A party in the former town, Mr. Thomas Duncombe was ent rus t e d 1 ‘ i t h two petitions from respectable parties there, &mon stratinz the most corrupt and profligate bribery by the • Walterites. Mr. Godson, before he was aware of the counter-petitions, had moved that the one which he pre sented should be printed—a step of late vears understood to be the ground-work of a motion in the House. Mr. Buncombe gave notice that he would, therefore, move that all the petitions should be taken into consideration. But this would not suit the Tory purposes, and both on Monday and Tuesday nights, when they stood among the notices of motion, they twice contrived to " count out" the House, showing that they evidently dreaded the discussion they had themselves oriezoinated.

" ORIENTAL STEAmEtt.--Captain Soy, the commander of this vessel (on board of which Sir David Wilkie died on his passage from Alexandria), has been presented with a goldsnuff-box, and a letter of the nki from the passengers, THE ARCHBISHOP OF DUBLIN AND THE LAW 0 MARRIAGE. TO THE 1.:DITOil or THE TIME?. S'r,—Yett ar3 at liberty to refer to nie a§ approving of tho abo!itions of the r,:stricdons on marriage to which you ailnie. As no clever and strong case has been made out Of important advantage to the public from such restrictions, I stake my hand on the broad general principle that crow restriction is tin evil in itself; that political liberty (as Paley observes) colaists in a man's being sahject to no restriction that is not counterbalanced by a greater amount of public advantage : that the general rule, ac cordingly, should Le to let every One do as he pleases, the burden of proof lying upon the advooates of any r.-_:striction to show its necessity. This principle, Olen stated generallv, most persons will, I think, admit. They would acknowledge that a man aught not to be deprived of his liberty of action merely on the ground that lie might not make thatiuse of liberty winch all, or the majority, of his neighbours, might think the bast. but merely when some serious positive detri ment was lik ely to arise to the public or to his neighbours. In p;irtieular instances, however, men are sometimes apt to lose sight of this principle. In the present CfHe, fir e::ample, if, although several worthy and respectable persons (as is undoubtedly the fact) approve of the mar nagas in question, a conzideiable majority, as is probably the case, disapprove of them, some might think the fair and natural result should be, that those marriages should be prohibited, on the ground that the minority should give way to the majority. Now, I should consider this a case of oppression of the minority by the majority—which is no less unjust than the converse ease. I should say that the fair and natural result would be (supposing always no clear case of public inconvenience to be made out)" that both parties should be 1:-ft at liberty. Those who approve of such a mar riage wcald then be free to contract it when they might think proper ; and those mho disapproved of it might abstain from it. • What may be called a meddling system of government, amounts practically to a moat intolerable tyranny. If the Legislature of a country comisted of the most disin terested and publits,-spirited men, but who should think it their duty to compel: by law every individual to do everything that - might Vent to them best, and to prohibit evz:ry 67.1(_! from . tain: q - 1 1 :7 . any step which they might not think advisable, it would be found; 1 believe, that even the government or oppressors would be preferred to this. And yet, I believe, in the present case, the question appears to many men's minds to be, whether the mar riage with a deceased sister be or be not desirable. Suppose it decided in the negative ; most peiple would &vide a!so against the desirableness of a-marriage where there was a very great disparity of years or of station, or wh.,re there is a taint of insanity, or other hereditary disease, or where ther.2 is no adequate provision for chil dren, &a. .YeE how intolerable would be a system of legislation which, in th: , se and similar cases, should un tkrtake to.prescribe the conduct of every individual. A society so governed would resemble those children who, to insure their straight and perfect growth, are from their infitney so swaddled, bandaged, and ironed, as ef featually to prevent the fell development and free use of all their members. 1 have been proem:ling rll along on the supposition that no sufficiontly strong et:3J has been made out to jus tify departure in this matter from the general rule of non-restriction. As for the allegations from the Levitical law, if any one brings them forward in sincerity, he should be pre pared to adro.....ate adherence to it in all points alike ; among o:hers, the compulsory marriage of a brother with his deceased brother's widow. The only objection, which, at the first glance, appears to have any plausibility, would be porceived, I think, on a very little reflctien, to be extremely feeble—namely, the supposed advantage (under the prohibition.of :such mar riages) of a WIA.IOWer'S enabled, without s2rmdal, reside wit:: his decw.sed wite's Sister. In fact, nothing more efi . ectually guards against. any surit scandal than its being known that if any were so disposed, they were at liberty to marry. But as - for any abirnwttre of cohabitation between them as nionstrorts and unnatural being created by a law prohibiting their marriage, no law can be more absurd. law does rot p•Arnit a woman to marry during her hus'oand's ; ret this does not ob+late the scandal that arise from the unrestrained familiar interetair.;e of a . .yonag married woman with another man. Although, therZorc, there would probably be many persona who would think the marriages in question unde sirable, I cannot think that any reasonable man, keeping in vietn c. a Ornerai principle . I set out with, can think that a sutliciently strong rase has been made out for Legisla tive interference with individual freedom of action. I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, G. A. Esq. 11.

Winasor has for some days been in a state of excite ment in consequence of a house, known as " Wanes Cottage," occupied by Mr. and (Mr 3. Wright and their daughters, being reportad to be " haunts a.'' unae coantable noises which have been heard at intervals re semble those which would be caused by a person rapidly striking his knuckles for two or three minutes against the panel of a door, leading f:oin the kitchen into the water-closet in the house. Several Magistrates of the county, clergymen, and others, have been present at the time Of these noises, and in vain have endeavoured to unravel the mystery. Last week Mr. Riley and Lord Clement Hill stationed themselves in the hall within three yards of this doar, and, as soon as the knocking commenced, rushed to the spot within a second after-- wards, but not a soul was near it, and the whole of the family were in a different part of the house. The whole of the machinery of the water-closet has been removed, the flooring taken up, and the ground excavated, under the impression that the noise might have proceeded from foul air in the pipes or drains, or from some other cause connected with this part of the interior of the house, but the noise still continues as before, at intervals, and to-day and yesterday it was even more violent and loud than ever. In order to asaertain if the door of the closet was struck a small piece of chip was laid upon the projecting portion of the panel, and,aft er th e k noc ki ng h a d ceased this had fallen on the floor, but no shadow of a cause was perceptible. Mr. Wright and his family are in that state of mind that they are making preparations to leave I the house immediately. CAUTION TO TRAVELLERS BY RAILWAY.- Mat Industrious fraternity, the " Swell Mob," appear to have transferred their operations upon the travellers in the omnibuses to those by the railway, and the public will do well to be upon their guard against their pro endings. On Mo-day afternoon, an elderly gentleman, named Scott, who resides at Guildford, took a place by the train of 013 Southampton Railway to Woking, and in the same carriage with him were three well-dressed persow:, one of whom, during the journey, spread an open.cloa'.: upon his knees. Mr. Scott observed that this person sat very close to him, but nothing occurred to ex cite his suspicion, and when the tram arrived at the Kingston station, the three "gentlemen" politely wished him a good evening, and left the carriage. A few minutes afterwards he put lzis hand in his pocket, and found that hi; purse, Nviiieh contained upwards of five pounds in go!d and silver, had been stolen. Upon his arrival at Esher he gave information to the railway police, who instituted an inquiry and search afies- the " gentlemen," but without success. The police have received informa tion of several other robberies of a similar description, but it is to be hoped 'that this caution will put a stop to emu for the future. en 4 ce ish t o r WORCESTER.. —On Friday last a most extra rortzythoecc3tlterliv• having; at , Worcester.

A• crowd o' persons, attracted by these novel and most unusual proceedings, witnessed the fact of his Lordship's application and denial, and awaited with great api - arent interest the result.

The party in possession was deaf to all remonstrance or entreaty, and the Bishop's family Was obligel to seek an asylum elsewhere. llis Liggage remained in the street some time, and his Lord Ship eventually slept at the house of Mr. Foley, a solicitor.

THE WESLEYANS AND THE BREAD-TAXERS. TO WESLE YA N ELECTORS. Crt ArSTIA BRETHREN, —Our venerable founder John Wesley was a powerful advocate for purity of election, a genuine friend to liberty, and emphatically " the . poor man's friend ;" and I have the pleasure of knowing that many of oar ministers are nobly following in his steps. But 7 altv, it is a matter of notoriety that the major part of them are found warmly upholding the proud preten sions of the aristocracy, and of the State priests who de spise and trample on them, while they are but too indif ferent to the wrongs and woes of the working-classes, by whom they are chiefly supported. This is accounted for by the well known fact, that they are governed generally by the few preachers who constitute the LOntimi Committees, which Committees are bat as the puppets of a certain celebrated Doctor whose Church and" Tory feelings are inspired by the hope of a mitre, and whose servile organ, the Watchman, is inca:atntly trying tt., coax or frighten those of its readers who detest it:; politics yet rejoice in the religious information it. affords. While all this is lamentably true, it furnishes us, ray fellow Wesleyans, with the strongest reasons for strenuous ant: simultaneous exertions on be half of the starving multitudes around us. For how ever well it may suit thc. , mushroom Doctors, of the gorgeously furnished "Centenary . Hall" to .draw us, for their own aggrandisement, nearer and nearer to the Senti-Popish Church of England ; and how ever well it may suit our mushroom squirearchy to strut and swell a.s the self-important supporters of the haughty aristocracy, whom they attempt to imitate, it does not suit us who live and labour among the people, and who believe that Providence has scattered its stores profusely over the earth, with a design that all men shall be fea and sustained by mutual succour ; it does not suit us, either as men or as Christians, to stand coldly by and see thousands of our countrymen, and among them numbers of the truly pious, sinking under the iron hands of oppression and poverty, while they are almost tempted to " curse God .and die," while a mere handful of tyrants are lavishly squandering in foreign lands or on foreign luxuries, those millions which have been wrung from the poor by a monstrous system of monopoly,. and which might have supplied them plenteousty With foreign corn. Merciful God ! can any of those who call themselves thy servants, and who teach the children of the poorest in their Sun • day schools to say to thee " Give us this day our daily bread''—can any of them dare to ask thy blessing on the present state of things ? The very idea is dreadful. Then let us, my fellow Wesleyan, resolve and act aS those who must give an account to God and not to our preaehers, many of whom, though sound divines, are sorry politicians. Let us, at the approaching general election, honestly and fearlessly support those men, and those only, who will'pledg:i themselves to put down all - monepolies, especially the horribl e corn mono poly."e came forward nobly in behalf of the negi" o slaves, although Doctor Bunting then disgracefully deserted us for the sweet smiles of a Tory lordling. Let us, with equal earnestness and vigour, exert ourselves on behalf of our oppressed and starving countrymm ; and if our learned and our unlearned Doctors will shut their eyes against the signs of the times, and remain sticking in the venerable mud of Toryism, tilt:re let us leave them to meditate on Pro verbs xi. 26, "Ile that withholdeth corn the people shall curse him," while we labour diligently to obtain the blessedness of " him that considereth the poor," and thus testify that in this respect, at least, we are wiser than our teachers. In conclusion, allow me to recommend that the name of every Wesleyan minister who exerts himself directly or indirectly in favour of the corn monopoly candidates, be forwarded immediately for insertion in The Sun, Pa triot, anl Leeds Mercury, in order that the people may be able to recognise their dear (bread) friends and pas to:. Your's, with every sentiment of fraternal regard, June. 1841. 1 TRUE WESLEYAN, LORD BROUGHAM. (raoM A CORRESPONDENT.) The appear.ule or Lord 13rougham at this critical mo ment appear.; to have scored the Tory press, and to hale rieed his brother Peers. The " Protestant ascendancy" Standard led the way by regaling its pious readers with the shocking impropriety or. his passing through the ranks of the good people of Bonlogne as they were going to church os Sunday. The 7 tines fbllowed up by a spiteful attack on him, containing amongst others the f&dlowing pass::ge :- 77 " It was Lord Brougham who was the statmehest maintainer of those unjust and mow tur..l c'an'es (in . the New Pour-laws) which exempted the seineer.of • innocence' from the obligations of main taining his children, and threw exclusively upon the weaker a.:ld more helpless of two joint Sinners the whole temporal consegtunees of the sin." The memory of the Times is nt fault here. For Lord Brougham, substitute Charles James Lord Bishop of London, between whom and the Bishop of Exeter some very warn language passed on these very clauses. It is a singt:!nr instance of Tory effrontery that, identified as many of their most eminent men in both Houses of Parlia:nent are with this most obnoxious clauses of tht New Poor-laws, they yet persist in attempting to throw the otiiitui of the Measure on their political opponents. . .

The above figures enable us to .arrive at the relative in creai,, of population within the, two. last periods of text years. • Thus the township of Ardwick had increased irt population in the ten years ended 1831, by 1,979 per sons, or rather more than 56. per cent. u ln the ten years ended this month, it he.; increased by 4,104 per— sons, or very nearly 80 per cent; being an increased. ratio of 24 per cent. of progress over the preceding ten years, notwithstanding the number of houses pulled down in the line of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway. The increase in the twenty years is about. 180 per cent ; in other words, this township has nearly trebled its population in that period. In Openshaw„ there is a still more striking increase. That in the ten. years ended. 1831, was of :141 persons, or 68 per cent. In the ten years ended this month, it was an increase of 1,443 persons, or no less than 172 per cent. increase in the ten years ; the increase, being 104 . per cent greater than in the corresponding: period of ten years. The increase in the twenty years has been 1,784, or 358 per cent. ; in other words, it has more than quadrupled its population in that period. In Gorton there was an increase, in the ten years ended 1831, of 1,011 persons, or 63 per cent. ; while within the last ten years there is a slight decrease of 202 persons, caused doubtless by the closing of the large mills of a bankrupt in this township, and the consequent migration of the operatives to other townships. In Rushohne, which is not a manufacturing township, but has lately been selected for 'respectable residences, the increase of population, in the ten years ended 1831, was 165, or only 18 per cent. ; within the ton years ended this month the increase has been 790, or 73 per cent. In the twenty years the population of this township has doubled. Taking the aggregate population of these four townships, which, as we have said, include one in which there bas been a small decrease within the last ten years, there would appear to be an aggregate increase, in the ten years ended 1831; of 3,504, or 5:3 per cent. ; and in the ten years ended this month, of 6,435, or 63 per cent. ; showing the ratio of increase to have exceeded, by ten per cent., that of the preceding ten years.
