An able paper, on " British Arms as they were, and as they are," sets in contrast the rela tive losses of the conflicting powers during the Marlborough and Peninsular campaigns, and, from the showing of the French themselves, evinces the greater loss to be invariably on their side. This has led to au investigation on the part of two of their own authors, to account for this startling fact, who, after due scrutiny, arrive at the conclusion that the predominant cause of the victories of the British over their antagonists, chiefly arises from the superiority of our arms and the action of their fire.

This Mag a zine WiireatryilprOVed under its new managesnent, for the articles are better. adapted to the public taste, are more carious in their character, and infinitely - less puzzling and metaphysical than they used to he. We can un derstand them now, which is a great point gained. "An English Heart., or the Fe:nate Foscari," is a tale by the late Miss Isabel 11111—an accom plished authoress, who has but recently passed from among us. The tale is illustrative of the strong passion which some Englishmen feel for their native country and is, we are assured, founded on fact. • In the criticism on "Paul de Rock's Novels"—which are just now quite the rage tit Paris—it is justly remarked that "his greatest defect, and the greatest objection to his being popular here, is his indecency. This can sometimes be avoided in translation, for it is_ sometimes merely verbal and accidental ; but there are many of his most ludicrous situations founded on, and entwined with subjects of too Smollettish a nature, either for translation or female perusal." The least offensive atzainst de cency of De Rock's novels is his " Barber of Paris," which accordingly, we believe, has already appeared in an English dress. The " Memoir of Miss Isabel Hill" is by her brother, the editor, and is penned. in a touching, un affected style. METROPOLITAN MAGAZINE. The author of the " Note-Book of an Irish Barrister" resumes his diverting legal sketches this month, with a biographical memoir of Mr. Justice Crampton—one of the most eminent lawyers that the Irish bar has produced for many years. This gentleman was, it .seems, distinguished for his attainments at the Dublin University, " where his career was remarkably brilliant. In his under-graduate course he bore away every distinction in science. And though less remarkable for his classical attainments, yet his knowledge in that department approached a first-rate character.. In mathematics he had no rival, and though many who have since risen to renown were among his competitors, yet he distanced them all, and bore away premiums and certificates almost without the appear ance of an effort, As a lawyer," adds the bio grapher, " Mr. Crampton did not hold the high est rank, but he was always considered a safe and steady advocate. In knowledge of court prac tice, a very intricate and also a very emolumen tary department of the profession, he was mi nutely versed." Of the remainit , articleS, the one most to our taste is the "Batchelor of Fifty." BRITISH MAGAZINE. A biographic notice of Dr. Lake exhibits but little of exciting .moment, except that he was one of the " Seven' bishoPs". who refused to suc cumb to the overbearance- of James I.; beyond this, lie was a quiet and unintrusive scholar.

NORTH - OF ENGLAND MAGAZINE. We have here another first N umber of a monthly periodical, which comprises, among other contributions, an intelligent paper on the subject of the " Manufacturing Population;" in which the writer observes, " The question of juvenile labour is one that concerns the parents infinitely more than the employers of the children. Ma nufActurers have not created the system; it has been fbrced on them." Most likely it has; nevertheless, the manufacturers have it in thei r power greatly to ameliorate the evils of th e system, and we hope and trust they will combine to do so. " Our Political Prospects" gives some useful hints to the Reformers as respects their future conduct in Parliament. THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE The intelligent countenance of Dr. Robert James - Graves, Professor of the Institute of Medicine, adorns the February N umber of our Tory Contemporary's Irish Portrait Gallery. A Memoir accompanies it, written in a - spirit which must be highly flattering to the living original of so spirited s 'att etching. " Gas par the Pirate" is a clever continuation of a very startling tale, as unlike every-day life, even )11 the Indian seas, as possible. Besides articles, clever in their way, about the Corn laws and the Repeal of the Union, there are some well-written reviews of " Stephens' Ame rican Travels," and the latest volumes of " Ram bles in the Pyrenees." From the "Anthologia Ger manica" we quote the following extract from Bur betiad of the " Abduction of Lady Gertrude Yin Hochburg,—a translation of which was never before attempted in the English language. The lady's father, a Baron of the Empire, had deter mined to bestow her hand upon a more powerful suitor than the Knight to whom she gave her heart. On the eve of her nuptials her lover carried her off, was pursued by her intended spouse, whom he killed in Iltir fight, but when ready to continue his flight with his fair charge, he found himself surrounded by her father's retainers, led on by the Baron in person. What followed will be best told by the poet : • Alas, poor Gertrude ! Who can tell Her agony of hope and fear, As, like a knell, each full word fell Upon her anxious ear•? She cast herself in tears to earth, She wrang her hands till blood gushed forth, — She tried each fond' entreaty To move her sire to pity. "0, father, for the love of Heaven, • Have mercy on your child ! Forgive, Even as you look to be forgiven ! A guilty fugitive I am not !—lf I fled from one Whem still I cannot chuse but shun As ruffian-like and hateful; Oh, call me not ungrateful ! " Think, think how in my childhood's days You used to take me on your knee, And sing me old-romantic lays, Which yet are dear to me ! You called me thenyourhope, your pride ; Oh, father, cast not now aside Those hallowed recollections ! Crush nut your child's affections !" Oh, mighty Nature !—how at last Thou conquerest all of Adam's race ! The Baron turned away and passed One hand across his face— He felt his eyes grow moist and dim, And tears were such a shame in him, • Whose glory lay in steeling His bosom against feeling ! But, all in vain !—a thousand spears Pierce in each 14 ord his daughter speaks— In vain !—the pent-up floods of years Roll down the warrior's cheeks And now he raises up his child, And kisses o'er and o'er her mild Pale face of angel-meekness ! With all a father's weakness ! " My. child I I iiiay have seemed severe — Well, GOD forgive me—as I now Forgive thee also freely here All by-past faults !—And thou, • My - son, come hither !"—And the knight • Obeyed, all wonder and delight— " Since love bears no repressing, Mayest have her,—with my blessing I " Why carry to a- vain excess Fo A T r g h r i e e v e e l ,nn, he n as i st i t jla i iis adn ol o, o L wr e i g f s ' e e l i i ( e ) a r sn t s . span ?

The dejeune was laid out in the Dining-rootil f the table covered with a very splendid service of silver plate, the centre of the plateau being the magnificent candela brum (of the largest size), presented to the Royal Duke in the year 1838, by his brethren, the English Free masons, in commemoration of the circumstance of his Royal Highness having filled the office of Grand Master of the Fraternity for 2 years. This candelabrum was placed opposite to the seat reserved for the King of Prussia, and is in the form of an open circular temple of great beauty, supported by fluted Corinthian columns ; above the capitals of the columns is an entablature, baying the frieze decorated with Masonic emblems. A cupola rests upon the cor nice, surmounted by a small statue. Within the temple temple is is an altar, on which is placed the emblems o f the frater nity, resting on a cushion, The plinth of the quite plain and burnished, but reclining against it at equal distances are four female figures, each holding lit the lap different Masonic emblems ; beneath the plinth of the temple is the . base of the candelabrum, square in form, three of the sides having basso relievos in the middle, and the fourth containing the inscription ; and from the angles spring the branches for wax lights, most richly cha;A. - On either side of this centre-piece were two subjects sculptured in silver, one the combat of St, George with 'the Dragon, and the other an equestrian figure of a Knight in complete armour, with another figure in built ing costume. accompanied by dogs. Two other subjects sculptured in silver adorned. the plateau one, Arabs and their horses by time side of an obelisk, ho 4 the other a group of Eastern warriors reposing under a tite, All of these are finely designed and executed. Candelabra, vases, wine-coolers, and other ornaments, covered the table, all of them very richly chased from tasteful designs. A beaufet, entirely of gold plate, was placed at one end of the room, covered with shields, salvers, vases, can delabra, tanklrds, and cups, all of them elegantly chased, and of exquisite workmanship, the larger articles of the collection being embellished with basso relievos. Several of the articles are engraved with his Royal Highness's arms, and, among the number, are some of great an- , . tiquity and value. Adjoining the Dining-room is the Conservatory, in which the band of the loyal Artillery was stationed to perform, for the gratification of the Illustrious party. The Dining-room is approached through a suite of three rooms ; the Boudoir, and two Dining-rooms, all of them fitted up with amber furniture, the draperies pecu liarly tasteful and elegant in appearance. In the largest of these apartments another table was prepared for the guests, the plateau of which was also ornamented with silver plate. The Boudoir contained a choice and interesting col lection of statuettes in the precious metals, and articles of vertu, including an equestrian figure of Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington ; an equestrian figure of St. George, and a Knight in complete armour ; also two small but very beautiful gold fonts, and some tankards, the body and covers exquisitely carved in ivory, finished with gold mountings. The walls were lined with magnificent mirrors. The Corridor, leading to the State-rooms, was fur nished with antique cabinets, and great numbers of large porcelain vases, thickly planted and garnished with the choicest greenhouse plants. The cabinets were some of them inlaid with tortoiseshell, with architectural fronts, with gilt ornaments and mouldings, and others of ebony, highly polished. The upper divisions in several, were filled with choice specimens of rare articles of porcelain ornaments, in every variety. The recesses in the windows were filled with busts, including those of the late Queen of Prussia, Marshal Blucher, the Emperor Alexander, William the Fourth, the Duke of York, and the late Bishop of Norwich. His Royal Highness's rages were on duty in their State Uniforms and the footmen lined the Entrance Hall in State Liveries. A party of the Foot Guards were on duty in front of the Palace, and received his Prussian Majesty and the Royal Family with the usual honours. The co npany began to arrive at half-past one &clod - . Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Gloucester and the Princess Sophia were among the first arrivals, and were received by Lord Marcus Hill and Mr. Walker. His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge ar rived soon after two o'clock, closely followed by the Duke of Wellington. His Grace wore the Ensigns of a Prus sian Order, and also those of the Most Noble Order of the Garter. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Augusta of Cambridge were attended by Lady Augusta Somerset. The Royal Duke wore the Ensigns of the Black Eagle of Prussia. The King of Prussia arrived at half-past two o'clock, attended by the. Chevalier Bunsen, Minister Plenipoten tiary (on a special mission) at this Court ; the Earl of Hardwicke, Lord in Waiting ; and the Baron de Hum boldt ; and followed by the other Noblemen and Gentle men of his Suite ; and by Captain Meynell, Groom in Waiting. His Majesty, who wore the insignia of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, was received, on alighting from his c arriage , by the Gentlemen of his Royal Highness's Household, and in the Entrance-hall by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who conducted his Majesty to the upper suite of state rooms, where the company had assembled. On the arrival of the King, the children of the Na tional Schools, to the number of 300, who had received his Majestyin the avenue , passed with their flags into the garden in front of the Palace, and sang "God save the Queen," his Majesty and the Royal party appearing at the windows during the performance. Soon after three o'clock the Illustrious visitors de scended the Grand Staircase, and went to lunch in the Dining-room, the King of Prussia conducting the Duchess of Inverness, the Duke of Sussex conducting the Duchess of Cambridge, Count St. Aulaire, the French Ambassador, conducting the. Princess Augusta of Cambridge. On rising from table his Majesty was preceded by the piper, playing " The Campbells are coming," on his bagpipes, and passed through the lower suite of rooms to the Grand Staircase, followed by the distinguished assemblage. The King, attended by his suite, left Ken sington Palace at twenty m inutes p ast five o'clock.

His Majesty the King of Prussia gave the health of the Queen. After each toast the piper of his Royal Highness (as Earl of Inverness) played Scotch airs, marching round the room, wearing a very magnificent Royal tartan in silk, most richly ornamented with gold mountings and embroidery, with the arms and crest of the Royal Duke embroidered on the front and belt. Mr. MacGregor, Secretary to the Board of Trade, had the honour of being graciously received by his Majesty the King of Prussia yesterday morning at Buckingham Palace. Shortly before ten o'clock yesterday morning the King of Prussia, attended by his Suite, honoured Mr. Edward Solly with a visit in Bedford-row. Afterwards his Majesty proceeded to the British Museum, where the King was received by the Bishop of London, Sir Henry Ellis, Sir Frederic Madden, and the Earl of Westmoreland, who attended his Majesty over the establishment. The King was occupied nearly three hours in inspecting the various departments of the Museum. His Majesty then returned to Buckingham Palace, and afterwards paid a visit to the Princess Sophia at Kensington. The King of Prussia commanded the attendance of Mr. Baxter, at Buckingham Palace, yesterday, and spe cimens of printing in oil colour s, being laid before his Majesty, the King was graciously pleased to express his high approbation of them. At half-past seven o'clock his Majesty and Suite left Buckingham Palace, in full dress, to dine with the Duke of Wellington, at Apsley House. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and the Princess Augusta of Cambridge, at tended by Lady Augusta Somerset, dined with his Grace the Duke of Wellington last evening. Five hundred and twenty-one poor families of Ken sington were relieved with blankets, rugs, and flannel in honour of the christening of the Prince of Wales. One of the recipients was upwards of 100 years of age. Four hundred families received meat and bread in- additibri. The expense was defrayed by a subscription of the inha bitants, headed by his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, and which amounted to 1641. . SPORTING RR VIE W. There are several smart sporting articles in this Number; and among them is one entitled " Re collections of a Sportsman's Life," which abounds in incident; and another, under the head of Cam bridge and Cambridge Men " which is mani festly the production of one who is no stranger to the amusements of that University. His cursory remarks on Newmarket are true to the letter, especially where he alludes to the " per. feet air of business . which universally prevails, and the absence of all that gaiety and glitter which to many form the charm of a race-course." The engravings are neither better nor Worse than usual. SPORTING MAGAZINE. We have here two engravings—one, the " Lost Shoe," whose foreground exhibits some effective grouping ; and the other, the " Miller," which is a very spirited plat e , f u ll of animation, with a well-defined, picturesque mountain distance. Of the literary contributions, the most enter taining is the " Weed," which is an essay in praise of tobacco, which would have,horrified the nerves of.that determined en em y to the weed— King James the First.

Mortimer, London, 1842. . - Hitherto, the grand objection 'to works of this description, observes Dr. Beattie, the compiler, in his prethtory address, has been their great expense, which has confined the circulation of picturesque antiquarian works to the opulent classes of society. The great recommendation of the present work is its unprecedented cheap ness, being illustrated by original views taken on the spot, and not amounting . in general to more than a twentieth of the price at which its predecessors in the same field have been pub lished. The part before us—which is the first, of this truly national undertaking—is confined to a description of Arundel Castle, which fler many ages was in .the family of the Duke of Norfolk, but which has since, we understand, passed into other hands. By way of frontispiece, we have a view of this truly baronial edifice, in which its superb proportions and the unrivalled beauty of its site• are exhibited to great advantage. The Castle crowns the summit of a richly wooded hill; and behind it towers the keep—an imposing pile, but fast hastening to decay. At the foot of the eminence on which it is erected, is an ex panse of thick, luxuriant wood, right in front of which we see the river Arun meandering in many • winding channels,. through a fore ground of flowery meadows. In the distance are the blue undulating hills of Sussex; and imme diately behind the Castle . a splendid park, studded with the noblest forest trees, stretches away and right and left, as if to infinity. The landscape is one of a peculiarly cheerful English character, and in its varied sylvan beauty is scarcely exceeded, even by Windsor Castle and its forest. There are . several other illustrations of Arundel Castle in this Part, and the letter press portion of the work contains some vivid and accurate descriptions of the majestic edifice. From the handsome manner in which the work is got up, as well as from its interesting nature, we think it very likely to become popular. MRS.HowH A antiLL' p S a r.cOIRELAND.,London,IPB 4 a 2 r . t X VI. Mrs. Hall devotes the present Part of this ad mirable work exclusively to a description of Dublin, which, she tells us, in population and extent, is the second city of the British empire, and ranks as the seventh of Europe; it is some what above three miles long in a direct line from east to west, and of nearly equal breadth from north to south. Mrs. Hall enters at considerable length into a description of the Irish metropolis, but omits to take notice of its conventual establishments, and its numerous fine Roman Catholic Chapels— especially that of Marlborough street. These omissions will, we suppose, be rectified in the next Part. The view of Sackville-strect forms a very striking picture; and not less so, in its way, is the pic turesque sketch, representing the Boyne Obelisk, near Lotith. ENGLAND in the NINETEENTH CENTURY.

Both Parts are got up with exceeding neatness, and furnish us with pleasing, carefully engraved views of Liverpool, and the precipitous rocks of Tintagal, with a ruinous-looking caStle perched, like an eagle's eyrie, on their E - tuktnits.

Mr. Cadell has acted Wisely in republishing these immortal 'fictions at a price that renders them accessible to all classes. As for the " People's Edition" we have little doubt that it will be eminently successful, for, considering its cheapness—twopence a number!—it is brought out in a style of remarkable neatness, not to say, beauty. LONDON JOURNAL AND REPERTORY .OF INVENTIONS. In evidence of the great demand for'improve ments called for at this moment by the present unsatisfactory stale of our manufacturing fur naces, no less than three patents appear for the purpose of remedying existing defects, and one of them by Dr. Mohttn proposes an artificial fuel for their consumption, composed of certain sub stances specified. A series of scientific notices closes the Number,toge tiler with a communication from Mr. Perring, many years a resident in Egypt, who states the singular fact, and supports it by authorities, that anciently the whole of Egypt was, like China, surrounded by a wall to shelter the interior from the incursions of the De sert tribes : remains of it are still.met with in the Fyoom, and it was built of small crude bricks, the total length being probably about 1,400 miles, averaging 15 feet high and five feet thick .

Jan. 23 N ATIONAL ANTI-CORN-LAW BAZAAR. MANCHESTER, MONDAY.—The Theatre Royal had been elegantly . and appropriately fitted up for the oeca • sion, and the ladies of Manchester and' the neighbour hood, who had given in their names to assist, were all at their posts at an early hour, occupying their respective stalls for the display of all kinds of wares. At twelve o'clock precisely the Bazaar was opened to the publi6, and at this moment the theatre presented a sort of fairy scene, or oriental mercantile assemblage, so brilliant and dazzling did everything appear. The visitors and pur chasers soon crowded in. The Countess Ducie, the La dies Bouveriv (daughters of the Earl - of Radnor), were expected to preside at stalls, but had not arrived at a ' late hour of the day. The lady of Thomas M. Gibson, Esq. (one of the Members for the borough) presided at a leading stall, which was besieged by purchasers, who bought liberally. It is impossible to convey an idea of the enthusiasm which prevailed, or to form an adequate conception of the powerfully moral effect which this project will exercise upon the vast population, of all classes, in this district. The stalls were most abun dantly covered with wares, of all forms and kinds ; and ingenuity,. industry, and taste, have severally been called largely into requisition, to supply the infinite variety of articles which ornamented the stalls. In the course of the day heaps of boxes, from various parts of the king dom, tilled with articles for sale, were received ; and contributions from hundreds of friends, received several days ago, lie still in store. for sale on a future day. No one could pass along the avenues of the Bazaar without being struck with the powerful combination that had been at work ; nor could any one doubt that a cause in which so much energy, perseverance, and resolution had been employed, would fail to triumph. The surrounding towns of Rochdale, Bolton, Wigan, Ashton, Stockport, and • other places, have furnished beautiful stalls, and the Corn -law Repealers in each of these places have pledged themselves to purchase the whole of the wares of their native stalls. Although the day has been unfavourable as to wea ther, yet the Bazaar has attracted great numbers to view it, and articles to a large amount have been pur chased. The total proceeds of the day, it is said, will not be far short 0f1,500/. ; which,with donations already received, will amount to about 2,500/. SII EPTON MALLET.—On Monday last, a spe cial meeting of the Guardians of the Shepton Mallet Union was , held, for the purpose of considering a motion (of which notice had been given) for grantinm out-door relief to able-bodied paupers, on which an amendment was proposed and carried for the adjournment of the question until that day six months. The state of the poor in the town and country parts of the Union is truly distressing, particularly those who are employed in agriculture, whose wages when in full work do not average more than 7s. per week, but, from want of work and the un favourable state of the weather the last two or three months, a large proportion of the labourers have not earned half that sum. Many of them have large families depending upon them for support, who are literally starving for AIM of food ; the Union-house is quite full, and were it not for the prejudice which exists among the poor against it, and the dread of break ing up their little establishments, out-door relief must be granted, or another workhouse built. It is deplorable to wit ness the labouring classes sinking lower and lower every year, and many of the smaller class of tradesmen sinking with them, many of whom are becoming paupers. There are nearly 300 houses unoccupied in this town ; indeed, house property has become quite unsaleable at any price; the poor-rates this year are 6s. in the pound on a valuation, in many cases, above the rental ; and in all the rural parishes the poor-rates are increas ing.— Somerset County Gazette. BODY FOUND IN THE RlVER.—Yesterday afternoon the body of a man was taken out of the river, off Church-hole, Rotherhithe, and removed to the dead-house. It appears to have been in the water a few days only, and from the apparel of the deceased, he appears to have been an en gineer, or stoker of a steam-vessel. lie is about thirty years of age, dark hair and whiskers, five feet ten or eleven inches high, and hail on a baragon fu►tian suit of clothes, blue striped shirt, blue stockings, coloured neckerchief, and stock. The body awaits a Coroner's inquest. R E. DL A K ENEY, K.C.B.—It has been erroneously stated in some of the papers that this gallant officer voted for the Tory candidate at the late election. We dis believed it, from the high character of Sir Edward, and are happy to be assured that there is no foundation for the report. —Dublin Pilot. BOLTON AND PRESTON RAILWAY. The half-yearly meeting of the Proprietors of the above Railway was held at the Swan Hotel ; John Hargreaves, Esq , in the chair. The Report was read, by which it appeared that the passenger traffic; had gone on satisfactorily during the past half year, the total number carried baying been 47,157, of whom 41,445 were railway passengers, and the amount received for passengers and parcels was 3,6321. 17s. 7d.

HERALD.—The rumour of the Duke of Bucking ham's secession from the Cabinet, which two of our morning Contemporaries chronicled yesterday, on no better authority, however, than the gossip of the clubs, is an occurrence which, if it do take place, ought, from his Grace's well known opinion, not only on the prin ciple, but also on the details of the present Corn-law, neither to be matter of surprise nor alarm. His Grace is too honest a man to sacrifice his conscientious opinions, deliberately formed and warmly expressed, as to the impolicy of materially altering the present law, except from the force of his own personal convictions ; and the Noble and warm-hearted Duke is far too sincere a Con servative to permit a difference of opinion on a single subject—although it may compel him to spontaneously separate from his colleagues—to erect the smallest .obstruction to the success of Conservative Govern iiieot. Should the Duke of Buckingham. retire from Sir Rol's!=!rt Peel's Administration in consequence Of his inability to acquiesce in the Corn-law propositions on Whigh the other members of that Administration have agreed, it will be in the same frank and generous spirit as has characterised his Whole political career ; his re signation, should It take place, will be a subject of deep regret to his colleagues, and a I,ersonal sacrifice to his own deeply-cherished attachment to :lie most prominent national interest--domestic agriculture. unlike every acceding member of the Whig-Radical C'fibinets, the Duke of 13uckingham will not fall the victim Of an in decent intrigne ; or retire into inactive opposition, as did Earl Grey, or into sulky expatriation, as did Lord Olenelg. The conscientious difference which may lead to sertatation will be calmly , and firmly reiterated by the Noble Duke in his legislative capacity, when due oc casion shall call )t forth ; but to that expression the opposition of his Grace will doubtless be confined ; to any alteration of the Corn-law, which is, in the Duke's opinion, calculated to injure landowners or farmers, his Grace will offer his most determined opposal ; but on all other topics the Duke of Buckingham will support those former colleagues, whom lie respects a sincerely as he is by them respected. The known repugnance of the Duke of Buckingham to any material alteration of the present Corn-law, as being a step towards the aban donment of protection to agriculture, and an experiMent unwarranted by the present condition and future pros pects of the agriculturists, and his anticipated resigna tion on that ground, are not, however, to be regarded as decisive indications that the Cabinet measure will be hostile to the landed interest. The anxiety of that inte rest will, most undoubtedly, be greatly excited should the Duke of Buckingham have actually resigned the Privy Seal, and a greater degree of watchfulness over the proceedings of Ministers—by no means unnecessary, though certainly not adverse—will be thereby stimu lated. But that resignation will not, in itself, be deci sive as to the expediency or inexpediency of the forth coming measure. The Duke of Buckingham is, we apprehend, more deeply pledged to the details of the present Corn-law than the agricultural interest generally approve of, and therefore it is not improbable that the Ministerial scheme will conciliate the general support of landowners and farmers, even though it have been dis approved of by his Grace. The landed interest will tit all times most cordially acknowledge the great and im portant services which the Duke of Buckingham has conferred on it ; they will see in any separation that may have taken place , another example of the Noble Duke's deep devotion to . what he considers their true policy; their gratitude is ever due to his Grace, but they owe to the Noble Duke—what, indeed, he would be the last man in the empire to anticipate— no fealty, arid they cam afford to give no prostration of judgment. The Corn law. to be proposed by Sir Robert Peel's Administration, must be judged of by its own merits. CHRONICLE.—We abstained from all remark yes titday in noticing the resignation of the Duke of Buck ingham. Why lie entered the Cabinet at all, and why he has quitted it, on the eve of the assembling of Parlia ment, are questions which we leave for the solution of the Tories. Ye. we should suppose there are parties to t whom the disappear ante from the Cabinet of the f (inners' friend, the individual V,lio was considered by the agricul turists as giving, by his presence, a guarantee to the country, for the Cabinet, Ghat agriculture would be quite safe from its determinatioN--cannot be without its significancy. Will the MemberS' who have of late regarded the Duke as their leader, view' his ejectment as a mere matter of moonshine ? What, on Ihis occasion, is the tone of the new Conservative Club estaNished by his Grace ? What will be thought by the various agri cultural societies of which lie is the recognised patron ? Many rumours are afloat on the subject. Some will have it that his Grace outwitted the Preniier in obtain ing the blue ribbon before striking. Others assume, from his having obtained this honour, that the difference between the Premier and his Grace is what in vulgar parlance is termed a sham—got up to save appearances. Time will soon throw light on these dark subjects. The value of the Premier's plan will enable us to estimate the value of his Grace's resignation. TIMES.—The Whig-Radical papers are in a state of no small exultation at the secession of the Duke of Buck ingham from Sir R. Peel's Ministry. We lament it our selves—though we cannot lament what is presumed to be its cause. We lament that the Cabinet should have lost a member, firmly, we believe, opposed to that op pressive mode of dealing with the poor, whether em , ployed or unemployed, in factories or in workhouses, which we have always denounced. At the same time, even at the price of losing the services of that Noble Duke, we are ready to rejoice that Sir R. Peel is pre pared to bring forward an effectual modification of the restrictions imposed by the existing Corn-laws. Nor can we at all agree with some of our Contempo raries in considering it inconsistent in that Nobleman, while relinquishing . the duties of a Cabinet Minister, to accept the merely honorary distinction of the Garter. A difference of opinion as to a single matter of State policy may well make it impossible for two states men to carry out one uniform system of government, yet the same difference need not interfere with the gene , sal support which one may be ready to give to the other's measures, or, by consequence, with his acceptance of those honours by which such support, according to the usages of the political world, is acknowledged. A man may well be treated as a friend, who would find it impos- Able to act with us as . a fellow-labourer. For the one an . agreement in practical details, for the other only a gene ral approval, is necessary. We see at every turn in history or in private life that it is most easy for those to act as allies who would yet, from difference of principle or of temperament, find it absolutely impossible to concert toge ther any common plan of action, much more to carry it out harmoniously through all the minutiae which practice re quires. One may have a very decided opinion on the question which is at present at issue, who shall govern the country—Sir R. Peel or the Whigs ; without being prepared either to share the responsibility of all his measures, or to co-operate unreservedly in their execu tion—necessities from which a Cabinet Minister cannot, but a Knight of the Garter may, be allowed without much difficulty to escape.. In the choice of a Minister to succeed to the honourable position in the Cabinet which the Duke of Buckingham has vacated, Sir R. Peel has been guided by the suggestions of a sound discretion, and we entertain no doubt that his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch, who has accepted the vacant office, will justify, by his public career, the high expectations which his demeanour in a less prominent station and in private life .as already raised. FUNERAL OF DUCROW.—The funeral of Mr. Ducrow is fixed for Saturday next. The body will be conveyed in a hearse and six, followed by mourning coaches and four, which will contain Messrs. Searle, Anderton, and Oscar Byrne (the executors), Bunn, James Wallack, Gomersal, lionner, Lawrence (his late treasurer), J. Lawrence, 'Wilson, Lambert, and other gentlemen, to the number of thirty. Mrs. Ducrow win also be one of the mourners. Several of Mr. Ducrow's horses, decorated with black velvet palls, plumes of feathers, &c., will join in the procession. As a mark of respect for the, late Mr. Ducrow, Mr. Batty's Circus will be closed on Saturday evening next. ANTI-MONOPOLY PETITION.—The Liver. pool Anti-Monopoly Petition had received 23,550 signa tures up to last night. We trust that all the friends of free trade will make a point of signing it before it is sent away.—Liverpool Times. DEPARTURE FROM LONDON OF SIR H. DOUGLAS.—(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) —We understand that Captain W. 11. Molyneux, R.N., was deputed to present a requisition to Sir Howard Douglas, Bart., emanating from a public meeting of Sir Howard's friends, held in Liverpool yes terday. Sir Howard, having consented to offer himself as can ' didate for that borough, set off yesterday morning in company with Major Douglas and Capt. Molyneux, and was thus pre vented from having the distinguished honour of meeting the King of Prussia at the Duke of Wellington's last evening, ac cording to invitation. HENRY DE PomEnoY.—This romance, by Mrs. Bray, the popular novelist, is now published. The scene of the story, which is laid during the time of the Crusades, is in England; and it affords a vivid picture of the chivalrous lives of our ancestors—of the ecclesiastical domination then existing—of the manners of the despised Saxon Thanes and peasantry—and of the magnificence of the Norman nobles in their proud castles. The period is one of the deepest interest, and Mrs. Bray has invested it with a plot, of which the quali ties are exciting mystery, grandeur of circumstance, and lofty passion. THE WEST MIDDLESEX ASSURANCE OF- Fl CE.—Sir Peter Laurie mentioned to Mr. Alderman Lainson, the sitting Magistrate, yesterday, at Guildhall, that Holt, one of the founders of the independent West Middlesex Assurance Company, in Baker-street, which suddenly broke up a few months ago, to the disappointme nt and rum of a great number of individuals, is now a prisoner in the Fleet.

CHRONICLE. —When the report was first spread abroad, that the Duke of Buckingham ha: l ceased to be, a member of the Cabinet, the funds were in:favourably influenced ; but now, when an interval of nearly three weeks has brought about the event, the natio.nal secu rities have shown no sympathy for the patriotisng of his Grace. It has, however, given rise to a variety o; new sliding scales, and produced a perfect " bobbery" be = ssungOng the City friends of Sir Robert. They affect, to to look tTon the split as a matter of no consequence alluding to t with assumed indifference, and assert ing that the Duke of Buccleuch will answer just as well. But this is all outward pretence. They fear the effect which ;he announcement will produce in the country`, and look :vith conscious alarm to the imme diate meeting of Parlian:tent. One notion they have got hold of, which the more knowing ones of their ranks touch upon with a species of ,cunning rranleer through the tail of their eyes, is, that it is tr U an o ged affair mere mock resignation to cheat the coun.try. The trick is to be, that Sir Robert Pee l will i fi trodutv what House they call " liberal measures," and pass t hem throug of Commons, in order that th e y ma y be smothe:ed in the House of Lords by means of amendments to b.' there moved, and already agreed upon with the Premiet;• by his Grace the Duke of Buckingham, and other NoNe Lords. The estimate which the City monopolists have formed of the morality of their Parliamentzry leaders, must, indeed, be of a very low nature, when they could suppose them base enough to lend themselves lo suc practices. The City is full of reports, however, on the subject to-day, and some of them go so far as to say, that the new sliding scale will have a maximum duty of 10s. per quarter only, instead of 15s. as formerly stated, and the minimum to be ss. per quarter. The retirement of the Duke of Buckingham has alle viated the fears which were entertained, for some t. l aYs past, that Ministers would propose a tax on funded property, and led to a better impression regarding they state of the country. It is supposed that the Govern ment have really seen the necessity of recomme ndin g so me useful change in the Corn and Provision laws, and of lowering the tariff on articles of general consumption. l'OST.—Accommodation was obtained on more easy terms to-day, namely, at three per cent. on the security of the home stocks. This favourable change in the state of the money market, coupled with the purchase of some small accounts by the Chancery broker, produced a rally of about* per cent. in prices, and the effect extended to both markets, the foreign as well as the home. No announcement has yet been made respecting the payment of the trifle of Spanish interest on the accrued dividends. Senor Borrajo is certainly very circum spect in his movements, but he has possibly reasons for delay with which the public generally are - little acquainted. We hear that the French syndicate resists the three per cent. scheme, and if such be really the fact. another interval of at least six months will be consumed_ in negotiation and arrangements ; but there can be no doubt the syndicate would be right in discounte nancing a measure the effect of which must be to bring down the value of the Active Bonds to a figure most con venient to the Spaniards in the purchase of the national properties, for this is assumed to be one of the leading secrets Qf the Gamboa contrivance. SITIL--The transactions in our own funds were to day at prices more in favour of the seller. though the business done was not extensi-E it was Al appa rent that the resignation of the Dv lie af Buckingham gave satisfaction to those who had cccas-3ts: to do busi ness.

The Foreign Securities exhibited a trifling increase of activity, but nothing very marked in regard to the nwve. meat of prices. The quotations for Mexican Stock got up to 29i.

VISIT OF THE KING OF PRUSSIA TO THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. —The King of Prussia honoured the Duke of Wellington with his company to a grand banquet at Apsley House last evening, given by his Grace to his Prussian Majesty and the distinguished members of his unite.

THE LITTLE WESTERN.—The proprietors of this steamer, accompanied by several captains of the navy, and gentlemen connected with the semmercial and with the scien tific and engineering interests of the country, had yesterday an experimental trip down the river, in order to test ,the speed and powers of th,:, vessel. The Little Western left her moor ings off the Brunswick Hotel at a quarter to 11 ; the tide then ; running down, and the rind blowing from the south-west. There was, however, but little wind, and the weather was clear and pleasant. She was accompolied down ti:e river by one of the fastest boats, viz, the Railway,, for which Ole waited off Galleons, and with which she contested head 3.01 head to Gravesend. The speed of the Little Western is eitraordi nary ; she reached the Nore Light within 2 hours and 55 minutes. The distance is 44 miles. This vessel is built on an improved principle. Her tonnage measurement is a frac tion beyond 720 tons. She measures between perpendiculars 200 feet, measurement over all 216 feet. Her keel measure ment is 195 feet. Her breadth. clear of her paddle-boxes, is rather above 27 feet ; and her lAl:with over all etceeds 47 feet. Her deck is flush from stem to stern, cgil she has two masts Her internal accommodations are very gNiod, as may be sur mised from the measurement of her saloon and cabins, &c. The length of her saloon is nearly 44 feet, al id the room is elegantly and commodiously fitted up, without being owl/ or fantastic ;it is also a good height, and is 24 feet wide. ,The ladies' cabin is nearly 20 feet long. The engines, which are horizontal and low pressure, are of EO-horse power each. Al together she is a most elegant craft and an admirable sea-boat; she has weathered a gale off the Land's-end, and proved Ler capability to contend against a rough sea and a heavy wind'.. This vessel was built at Bristol, by Messrs. Acramans, Morgan , and Co. She is a vessel excellently adapted for the London and Ramsgate station. Her prodigious speed, superior.accom modation, and tractability, render her peculiarly desirable for trips in which convenience and rapidity are imp erative. The company were treated during the trip with the most elegant and liberal hospitality by the Proprietors.
