SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS• FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. GLOBE.—The debate on Mr. Wallace's motion was brought to a close last night, or rather this morn ing. On the division, there appeared for the motion, 49 ; against it, 174. An attempt was made to carry over the debate to next week; but the House refused to sanction the effOrt to prolong the discussion. It seemed to be agreed on all hands, that the form of the moon precluded all hope of reducing it to any prac tical object. Hence, the leaders of Opposition, while they availed themselves of the opportunity thus afforded to deliver their sentiments at considerable length, and with manifest advantage over the Govern ment, on the important questions which the resolu tions placed on the table of the House necessarily raised, were unable to support the motion, which, from the commencement of the debate, they expli citly stated they would vote against upon a division. From this circumstance the organs of the Govern ment have derived an argument against the course adopted by Mr. Wallace, as an ,unnecessary inter ruption of the business of the Session—a Neste of the public time, by originating a protracted debate, with out the possibility of effectuating any practical ad vantage ! We cannot adopt the conclusions, even though we may admit the premises, of such of our Contemporaries as thus reason. From whatever point we view the melancholy scene of increasing national distress—whether it be considered as resulting from defective or erroneous legislation, or as originating in causes over which legislation has, at best, but a very limited control—we must approve of the policy of the Opposition in forcingits immediate consideration on the Government, through the House of Commons. Some may think that debates, similar to that of the pre sent week, in which such serious and often contra dictory views are taken of the origin, nature, and proposed cure, of the evils admitted by all to exist, are of little or no practical utility. W e are far from participating in such sentiments. Though no specific system of relief is likely to be evolved out of the miscellaneous mass of opinion that a Parliamentary debate on general topics must necessarily call forth, yet the accumulated results of individual experience are thus brought to bear on this one 11-engrossing subject of national interest, from which a subsequent examination, separating the prejudices and party feelings of the hour, may discover data on which to found practical measures of alleviation, if not of cure. STANDARD.—And now, again, we ask, what is the importance of any question about the evidence? Lord Ashley's Bill merely goes to forbid the em ployment of women and infants in subterranean labour. If no women or infants are so employed, or likely to be so employed, then surely, in courtesy to the House of Commons, which has passed the Bill by acclamation, and in con sideration of the public desire, the House of Lords may ratify a measure which can do no harm, and which will be at worst but waste paper ; but if women and infants are indeed employed in mines, then what reason can there be to doubt the truth of all that the 2,000 pages of the Re port contain ? Must we not know what must be the ef- , fect of the promiscuous association of persons of opposite sexes in darkness, and free from control—whether they are or are not generally in an indecent state of ex posure ? Must we not know that infants com mitted to the mine from the ages of five and six vears, must grow up without moral education, aid that such tender infants, committed to the mercy of persons who have an interest in their labour, but no interest in their hap piness or welfare, must be overworked and other wise treated with extreme cruelty ? Upon the hypothesis that women and infants are employed in mines, the presumption is that the wo men are corrupted; and the children tortured and destroyed. No evidence is wanting to con firm this presumption, though, alas, it is abund antly confirmed by the Commissioners' Report. It is for those who deny the inevitable tendencies of our corrupt nature to rebut the presumption, if they can. As well, however, attempt to prove that if the women and children were, thrown into the Thames the majority must not perish—as well call for a Committee to inquire whether drowning will cause death. The only fct for the House of Lords, or for any other body of reasonable men called to decide upon the subject, to inquire into, is the fact, whether women and infants are or are not employed in mines ? If they are so employed, the obligation of a prohibitory law is imperative ; but it is admitted by the opponents of Lord Ashley's Bill that they are so employed. What further need the House of Lords inquire ? THE .RE-LAYING Or THE ROADWAY IN FLEET • STREET.— The authorities have hit upon the notable plan of re-laying the roadway in this street by longitudinal halves. They proceed thus in order to study " public convenience;" or, in other words, for the purpose of " keeping open" ' the thoroughfare. Now the longitudinal half of Fleet-street, which is itself much like a certain unprofitable bird—viz., too much for one and not enough for two—would, without the slightest let or hindrance; admit of the most " admired dis order," among the countless vehicles that pass to and fro ; but a sort of patchwork repair, which has left a bit of the half street half finished here, and portions of barricades there, has occasioned scenes of confusion such as no set of men who ever studied " public convenience" ever yet saw or are likely to see. " Here laden carts with thundering. waggons meet, Wheels clash with wheels, and bar the narrow street." Gay never contemplated a worse state of things than the well meant division into longitudinal halves has given rise to. The result of this longitudinal system, which was to " keep open " the great l 'horoughfare has been that the vehicles proceeding in that dire,frtion, instead of having to take a circuitous route of five or ten minutes, as the case with cab or cart might be, by the way of Chancery-lane, Holborn, and Farringdon-street, have had not unfrequently to drag their slow lengths along the " half " of Heel-street, in some ten or fifteen minutes, at the imminent risk of a broken panel, or other equal damage. By the entire closing of Fleet-street for two or thr.e days, and placing day and night gangs upon the work, the repair would have taken about one half of the time that will now be con sumed, and the deafening clatter, dangerous clashing together of vehicles, vexatious delays, and the worse than " language obscene "liberally indulged in from morn to night, would have been avoided. As respems the relaying itself, it does not ap pear to be done in a very ,'asting manner. THE WEATHER.--A sudden change from the bright summer weather, so long anti so agreeably familiar, took place yesterday in the vicinity of the metropolis, a close Scotch mist falling throughout the latter part of the day. The wind, which within the last few days has shifted to all points of the com pass, became fixed due south, and the atmosphere was ex tremely heavy. The barometer at. the Adelaide Gallery was stationary at 30 18, but the heat was less intense by several-de grees than on Montlay. To the country generally a fall of rain would prove most beneficial at the pi esent [omega. MADAME LArARGE.— -A letter from Montpelier, in the Droit, contains the following :—" lladame Lafarge has not obtained permission to I e transferred to the lunatic a s ylum of lir. Reck), a s was reported, being still confined in the cell of the prison which was assigned to her, close to the infirmary, and her name is downs on the sick list in the account of expenses handed in each meth. Her food is such as has been ordered by the physician, and consists simply of milk and chocolate. She remains in a state of atrophy difficult to be deser‘bed. She is almost constantly in bed. and when she gets up she can only rut on the prison dress, which she detests, and therefore she wraps herself up in a coarse lincn peignoir, which is allowed on account of her being ill, .Her health can ' not be restore ti unless by a s prt,C•f miracle." LITERATURE. EDINBURGH REVIEW. No. CLIL Longman, London, 1842. The Society of Jesus—that shrewd, subtle, well organised Society, which for upwards of two hundred years made its influence felt in every quarter of the globe—was founded, as every one knows, towards the middle of the sixteenth century, by Ignatius Loyola, a Spanish cavalier of ancient descent, of whose strange, romantic career we have a full and animated account in the present Number of the "Edinburgh Review." Robertson, in "Charles the Fifth," has given a sketch of this illustrious man, but his sketch is a meagre and flimsy one, unworthy alike of himself and his subject. lie seems to have regarded Loyola as little better than a fanatic ; but he was more — much more than this, ybeing distinguished not less by his clear good sense, and profound sagacity, than by the grandeur and sublimity of his designs. The in fluence he exercised over the minds of his followers is almost without parallel, and such as no mere visionary could ever have obtained. Even Mahomet, when at the height of his power, and with all Arabia in his grasp, never so effectually moulded to his will the best faculties of those who regarded him as a pro phet, as did the founder of the Order of Jesus. Fore most among the associates of this remarkable indivi dual was Francis Xavier, the record'of whose wander ings in the East, for the purpose of gaining converts to Christianity, is full of deep and startling interest, to a degree seldom surpassed even by the wildest fic tion. Selected by Loyola to plant the Christian faith in the Indian territories, he set sail for Goa, where, in the face of a thousand dangers, he succeeded in the object of his mission. " Swinging in.his hand," says the Reviewer, " a large bell, he traversed the streets of the city, and implored the astonished crowd to send their children to him, to be instructed in the religion which they still at 'least prOfessed. A crowd of little ones were quickly placed under his charge." On the burning shore of Malabar "his bell once more rang out an invitation of mercy, and again were gathered round him troops of inquisitive and docile children. For fifteen months he lived among abject fishermen, allowing himself but three hours' sleep in the four and twenty. All obstacles yielded to his resistless zeal. He soon learned to converse, to write, and to preach in the Malabar language." While he was residing at Amboyna, a fleet of Spanish corsairs appeared off. the shore. The plague was, among them, raging in its most frightful form. But Xavier, nothing daunted, went on board the infected vessels; rendering every service in his power; and so won on the gratitude of the pirates, that they desisted from their meditated inva sion, and sailed peacefully away. At the island of Moro, one of the Moluccas, the enthusiastic Jesuit took his stand at the foot of a volcano ; and while the elements were all in convulsion about him—while the red flames blazed up to Heaven, and the earth rocked, and the thunder roared, and the rivers of molten lava came pouring down the sides of the mountain, he preached the One Living God, with as calm and un troubled a spirit as though he bore a charmed life. While celebrating mass in the same island, an earth quake shook the building to its foundations. Many of the congregation fled, but Xavier, standing before the rocking altar, never once stirred, till he had com pleted the sacred ceremony ! At Malacca he found the place besieged by a powerful Mahomedan chief, and the inhabitants in despair. Laying aside the peaceful missionary, he assumed the principal direc tion of the defence ; raised the courage of all parties, and predicted the immediate destruction of the be siegers. And his prediction was correct. In a few days the enemy's fleet was met off the coast—defeated, and Malacca was saved ! After traversing the East for years, working vast moral changes wherever he appeared, and defying all the chances of famine, ship wreck, pestilence, and assassination, the energetic Xavier met his, death from fever, while on the point of embarking for Siam. The Reviewer's sketch of this extraordinary man's career abounds in graphic passages ; but we prefer quoting his portraits of Ig natius Loyola and Luther—the two most remarkable personages who flourished in the sixteenth century : Luther took to !rife a nun. For thirty years together Loyola never once looked on the femitle countenance. To overthrow the houses of the order to which he belonged, was the triumph of the reformer. To establish a new order on indestructible foundations, the glory of the saint. The career of the one was opened in the cell, and concluded amidst the cares of secular government. The course of life of the other led him, from a youth of camps and palaces, to an old age of religious abstraction. • Demons haunted both ; but to the northern visionary !hey appeared as foul or malignant fiends, with whom he was to agonize in spiritual strife ; to the southern dreamer, as angels of light marshalling his way to celestial blessedness. As best became his Teutonic honesty and singleness of heart, Luther aimed at no perfection but such as may consist with the, everyday cares, and the common duties, and the innocent delights of our social existence ; at once the foremost of heroes, and a very man now oppressed with melancholy, and defying the powers of darkness, satanic or human ; then " rejoicing in gladness and thankfulness of heart for all his abundance ; ' loving and beloved ; communing with the wife of his bosom, prattling with his children ; sun rendering his overburdened mind to the charms of music, awake to every gentle voice, and to each cheerful aspect of nature or of art ; responding alike to every divine impulse and to every human feeling ; no chord unstrung in his spiritual or sensitive frame, but all blending together in harmonies as copious as the bounties of Providence, and as changeful as the vicissitudes of life. How remote from the "perfection" which Loyola proposed to himself, and which (unless we presume to dis trust the Bulls by which he was beatified and canonized) we must suppose him to have attained. Drawn by in fallible, not less distinctly than by fallible limners, the portrait of the military priest of the Casa Professa possesses the cold dignity, and the grace of sculpture ; but is wholly wanting in the mellow tones, the lights and shadows, the rich colouring, and the skilful composition of the sister art. There he stands apart from us mortal men, familiar with visions which he may not commu nicate, and with joys which he cannot impart. Severe in the midst of raptures, composed in the very agonies of pain ; a silent, austere, and solitary man ; with a heart formed for tenderness, yet mortifying even his best affections ; loving mankind as his brethren, and yet rejecting' their sympathy ; one while a squalid, care worn, self-lacerated pauper, tormenting himself, that so he might rescue others from sensuality ; and then, a monarch reigning in secluded majesty, that so ho might become the benefactor of his race, or a legislator exact ing, though with no selfish purposes, an obedience as submissive and as prompt as is due to the King of kings. In the disquisition on " French Criminal Juris prudence," there is a succinct analysis of the case of Madame Lafarge ; which last year caused such gene ral excitement in France. The essay is evidently the production of an experienced lawyer, who comes to the conclusion that the prisoner was convicted on " untrustworthy evidence." " Mellingen on Duel ling " is a notice of an amusing work lately published, in which we find this curious fact :—" If we desire to find a precedent for our damages in actions for trim. con., we may find it in a law of Ethelred, declaring that whoever hath committed adultery with his neigh bour's wife, shall be obliged to buy him a new one." The word " buy" is very business-like and charac teristic. The compliment involved in it to the fair sex is also worthy of admiration, and shows the exalted sense which our ancestors entertained of the dis interested love of women. They were to be bought like other articles, and were, we presume, cheap or dear, in proportion as they were plain or pretty, young or old, tough or tender. When there was a glut of them in the matrimonial market, then of course they were to be had for an old song. The Roman law was npt much more courteous, for according to Gibbon, it.expressly defined a wife as a "thing'— that is to say, as an article of furniture ! In the same no tice, the Reviewer makes the following edifying quota tion from a letter written by one French Nobleman to.another, in.- the reign of Henry the Fourth : " I have reduced your home to ashes ; f have dishonoured your wife, and hanged your children; and I now have the honour to subscribe myself your mortal enemy." Pleasant information this, to be introduced into a familiar epistle, by way of posteript ! " Mendicity, its Causes, and Statistics" is an elaborate article, of a practical character, in which the Reviewer assures us that the English agricultural poor, who have large families of very young children, live much better as beggars than they do as labourers. The article de fends the workhouse system, and the conduct of the Poor-law Commissioners in enforcing it. Of the few remaining papers, the best is the one entitled, " Dangers of British Industry and Commerce." FOREIGN QUARTERLY REVIEW. No. LVIIL Chapman and Hall, London, 1842. The primary causes of the first great revolutionary outbreak in France have been usually referred, and with justice, to the wasteful extravagance, the li centious habits, and intolerant exclusiveness, of Louis the Fourteenth and his Court; but in a shrewdly reasoned essay on "The Reign of Terror—its Causes and Results,' which heads the present Number, the Reviewer insists that the seeds of the Revolution were sown by Cardinal Richelieu. He argues his case with great adroitness ; but it is mere special pleading, for every one knows that the grand popular explosion which occasioned the overthrow of the French monarchy, had its origin in the deranged state of the finances ; and with this the Cardinal had certainly nothing to do, for he left an immense sum in the treasury; and the throne, which on his entrance into public life was the weakest, he contrived, by his vigorous policy, to render the strongest in Europe. Coming down to a later period, when the Revolution was whirling along at railway speed, the Reviewer pourtrays with much skill the character of the Gi rondist party, though we protest against his hypo thesis that " as long as they kept apart from the multitude, they were safe and respected; when they called in the multitude to their aid, they rapidly be came insecure and despised." The Girondists never did keep aloof from the multitude. On the contrary, they acted with them in every possible' way. Their party speakers were to be found at the Jacobins, the Cordeliers, and all the o th er mob Clubs of the day. Their party journals were those in most request among the people. Their chiefs—retion, in parti • cular—were the idols of the people. All that they did, they did almost exclusively by means of the people, and it was not until they had attained full power, by the overthrow of the Throne on the Tenth of August, that they thought fit to disavow their con nexion with those by whose assistance they had arisen. Then it was—and not till then—that the Girondists " became insecure and despised." They fell victims to their own double-dealing and tergiversation. The people, who had elevated them, trampled them under foot, and took counsel of more determined and consis tent leaders. With the fall of the " Jesuits"—as Dumouriez justly called them—fell the entire middle class as a dominant power in France. Henceforth the mob was in the ascendant, and Terrorism was the order of the day. But while we unhesitatingly give up the Terrorists to the execration of mankind, as a set of pitiless, unprincipled monsters, let us not forget the extraordinary—the almost superhuman—energy E they displayed, at a period when the country was hovering on the brink of destruction. • With a civil war raging furiously in La Vendee ; with Lyons, Toulon, and other great towns and cities, in a state of open revolt ; with the emigrants plotting at Coblentz, and the Court of Turin ; with the Austrian and Prus sian troops on the frontiers ; and Paris itself a prey to the most distracting party feuds ;—with all these combined difficulties to struggle against, the Terrorists yet found the means to furnish not less than fourteen vast armies, and roll back the tide of invasion with which France was threatened. History, whether ancient or modern, can show nothing comparable to the energy displayed by these ruthless monsters at this terrible crisis. They succeeded in saving their country from the rude grasp of the foreigner ; but alas ! it was only to pave the way for the iron despotism of Napoleon ! We subjoin a spirited sketch of Robes pierre—the Coryphzeus of the Terrorist faction—to wards the close of his career : At this time Robespierre was a spectacle of absorbing and awful interest. His constitution, always sickly, was sinking fast under his vigilance and his terror. He seldom slept, he never reposed. Devoured by the acrid humours of his system, his face became livid, his eyes streaked with blood. Hour after hour anonymous letters threatened him with the hand of the assassin—con spiracies gathered rapidly round him. Men, insigni ficant while Danton lived, took the strength of dragons from the blood of that awful head. He reigned but by his hold over the club of the Jacobins, and the hearts of the women I A. strange subject for female enthusiasm I but that usually follows power and will. And there was something too of mystery in this cold, austere being— young in years, with the hoary cunning and hard heart of age ; resisting all temptation, except that of govern ing mankind ; and shaking Europe from a chamber over a cabinet-maker's shop. The singular and ruthless determination of purpose which Robespierre had hitherto shown began to desert him. His energies, no longer concentrated upon the downfal of single rivals, wandered wild and indecisive over that vast field of enmity and peril which spread before his gaze. ln proportion as he l os t i n v i gour o f action, he improved in eloquence of word. The common horror in which his character is held, makes us unjust to his talents. And it requires all the charity of abstract criticism to praise the orator while sickening at the man. But it would be difficult to find anywhere in the modern literature of the Rostrum finer passages than some of his principal speeches contain. The address, delivered to the Convention, in vindication of the Deity, is full of beauties in language, and justice of thought. But it is natural that those who read should be so revolted at the want of harmony between the orator and the subject—at the character of the butcher, arrogating that of the theologian—the Nero assuming the Numa— that even the finest passages shock the moral taste too much to win justice from the intellectual. Robespierre vindicating, in the midst of massacre, the existence of a God of mercy, is like our own Richard 111. issuing his proclamation against vice after the murder of his nep .ews. The sentiments professed by either may be admirable in themselves, but they only serve to deepen the general abhorrence of the character they contrast. No man ever had so complete a command over an as sembly from the mere force of mind and thought as Robespierre long enjoyed over the Convention, and to the last over the Jacobin Club. For, unlike most suc cessful orators, he owed nothing to physical advantages: a wretched person, mean features, even the fire of the eyes concealed by glasses, a discordant voice, hoarse and indistinct in the low tones, shrill and grating in the higher, the word's and the thoughts had nothing to set them. off. It was this nimis eloquentia, this faculty so prodigiously improved, which helped to ruin him ; for he was eminently a vain man, and like vain men he at tached undue importance to means that obtained mo mentary applause. Yes! he would speak, he would de nounce, he would prove, he would trust his cause to his eloquence! Ile thought of words at the moment when nothing could have saved him but deeds. And of all his efforts, never one equal in eloquence to his last speech at the Convention! Had it been delivered by a man whose history commanded admiration instead of loathing, it would have been cited as a master-piece of lucid ar gument, subtle thought, and fiery and earnest passion ; —for in words Robespierre had passion, and his cold dogmas ring out as living principles. But the spirit of the audience was gone, the speech was out of place and season. The "Writings of Catullus" is a discriminating criticism on one of the most graceful and sensitive of the Latin poets. The " Last Fifteen Years of the Bourbons" is an able historiette, -but - there is too much contempt expressed for the unfortunate Duchess d'Angouleme. The Reviewer may ridicule, as much as he pleases, the ignorant bigotry, the narrow mind, the haughty intolerance of that drivelling idiot, Charles the Tenth ; but let him touch lightly and generously on the infirmities of the Duchess. If she was devoured by gloom, let him remember the mis fortunes that cast such a dark shadow on her mind. Let him remember the fate of her father, her mother, her aunt, her brother—all murdered, at a time, too, when her young heart was most susceptible of painful impressions —and cease to sneer at the melancholy to which she was ever after the victim. The last parting between the Duchess and her Royal parent took place in the prison of the Temple ; there, too, she bade farewell to her young brother, the Dauphin ; and then was herself doomed to a long and painful im prisonment, from which she was only released to become an exile in foreign lands. Surely she is not to be despised, if when she next returned to France in middle age, she could not forget the sorrows and pri vations she had endured in youth ! " Tasso and Chatterton" is an article, the drift of which it is not very easy to make out. The Reviewer appears as if anxious to establish a parallel between these two poets, but he soon loses sight of his object, and ex patiates on the most extraneous matters. In the essay entitled "The American Envoy, and the King of the French," the Reviewer, after condemning the perfidious and arbitrary policy of Louis Philippe, observes, " the French are now, what they were in 1799, sick of home experiments at Liberty and Con stitutions ; and they have turned their attention now, as they did then, to conquest and military achieve ments. A state of peace they have found humiliates them. They would try war as a change, and they will try it. History will not forget that it was to this pass Louis Philippe brought the French nation. The Napoleon of Peace has brought the country into the sentiment, the desire, the necessity of war." There is much sagacity and foresight in these remark. Disgusted with the state of things at home, and the prospect of their continuance, we firmly believe that at no distant period the French will fly to war as a refuge from uneasy thoughts ; but in that case France itself will be the chief sufferer,- for the fierce patriotic enthusiasm of 1794 can never again be revived ; and, without such revival, how could she make head against the great European Powers which, one after the other, would he sure to be dragged into the struggle • PEREGRINE BUNCE. 3 Vols.

The governess, of course , faints at the sight of the odious monster, and thus the little affair gets wind, and the unlucky Peregrine is politely requested by the widow to make hi mse lf scarce. His next attempt is on the affecti ons o f a young lady, whose nearest connexions are enormously rich ; but here again his speculation fails, for the relation on whom she is chiefly dependent, fails, and the shrewd fortune-hunter, as a matter of course abandons all ideas of her hand. A fourth ti me he tries his luck in the matrimonial lottery, b ut, as before, he is wholly unsuccessful ; at length, he resolves to see what can be done by a show of piety and Puritanism, and by duly attending a conventicle in one of the respectable quarters of the metropolis, he contrives to attract the notice, and ultimately wi n the hand of a pious lady, the widow of a colonel i n th e army. But, alas, he is no sooner married to this ex emplary dane, than he discovers, while spe n ding the honeymoon with her at Hastings, that she is no better than she should be—that the story of her widowhood is all a hoax--that her fortune, instead of being considerable, has in reality no existence—and that she is head over ears in debt, which d e bt s i t is of course her husband's enviable privilege to liquidate. Peregrine is, in consequence, utterly ruined, with which just act of retribution the story terminates. The author has delineated the character of this keen, selfish, scheming adventurer wth great spirit and humour ; and it is impossible not to indulge in hearty laughter at some of the comic situations in which he is placed. The portrait of the itinerant lecturer on Mesmerism, too, is cleverly drawn ; and the same praise may he extended to the sketch of Mr. Tiobbellon Mawks, who is a fine sample of the canting hypocrite. Like all Theodore Hook's novels, " Peregrine Bunce" abounds in touches of the broadest comic humour. FLANDERS MAIL. BRU S SELS , J ULY 7.—The representatives of the linen manu facturers, who met on Sunday at Ghent, resolved to wait on 1 the Members, to ask them for information respecting the fresh ordinance, which will injure our manufacturers. Yesterday these representatives joined with those of Brabant and Hainaut, and to the number of 150, went to the Ministers of Foreign Affairs, the Interior, and Finance. After hearing the summary of the proceedings at their meetings, Messrs. De Briey and Nothombe replied in substance, that they consider it as certain that within a week from the time the question that had been raised would be solved in such a manner as to give them satis faction, that if what seemed impossible, the just expectation of the country should be disappointed, the Cabinet would take prompt, and resolute, and effectual, and vigorous measures. The manufacturers then went to the residence of the Minister of Finance, where they were expected. Mr. Suits spoke nearly as follows : Gentlemen,—The Branch of manufactures of which you have spoken has long been the object of the solicitude of the Government. We trust that the Convention, which will be signed in a few days, will dispel the fears for the prosperity of Flanders, which have been excited by the late ordinance of the French Government." A Member then observed that it was necessary immediately to take a provisional measure, in order to prevent the importa• tiou into 13elgium of large quantities of English thread. It is reported, said he, that a vast depot of English thread is going to be formed in Belgium, and the necessary result will be that if the French market is closed against the English, its thread and linen will take another direction, and be passed into our market. The Minister of Finance replied, that he had recei v ed d a y by dad an account of the importation into our port, and that he had not heard of any importation; and that if any such thing should happen, he would immediately take some step to prevent it; if the existing laws should allow the application of a sufficient remedy, recourse will be had to the legislature. He stated that no consignment intended for France had had its destination changed, and been sent to Belgium. The explanations given by the Minister were received with confidence by the deputation, and relieved the appre hension of most of the members who, giving credit to certain journals, fancied that Belgium had nothing to do but to submit to the blow aimed at it. BRUSSELS, JULY B.—Yesterday, at four o'clock, his Majesty received the great Deputation of the Merchants and Manufacturers. Mr. Delahaye spoke with some of the Deputation. He detailed the unhappy condition of the working classes, who might give themselves up to despair if the present French tariff of customs should continue inforce. He said thatthis tariff was chiefly directed against England and English manufacturers; but that Belgium ought also to secure itself against them. He then drew the attention of his Majesty to the advantage of a commercial treaty with Spain, and added that it was desirable that the Government should adopt adopt a commercial legisla tion conformable to that of France, which would be the first link of a chain to connect us in a commercial point of view with that country. Mr. Delahaye, in conclusion, strongly urged the necessity o measures to ameliorate the condition of the working classes. His Majesty replied that he was aware of the unfavourable state of the linen manufactures, and the numerous workmen who depend upon it for their subsistence. His Majesty added, that he would do his utmost to obtain a modification of the French tariff. On hearing of the King's return, the deputations of Caer tray, Iseghemar, and Roulers, immediately set out for Brussels. They are to be received by the King to-day. Her Majgsty and Prince Albert, attended by the Royal Suite, left Buckingham Palace on Saturday, soon atter three o'clock, fur Claremont Park, where the Court is expected to spend a few days. MR. 'WALLACE'S RESOLUTIONS.—The Parliamentary Votes published on Saturday did not contain the " division " on Mr. Wallace's resolutions. We mention the fact, as the reason for its non-appearance in our co lumns on Saturday. BRISTOL SUGAR-MARKET, JULY B.—Our market has become exceedingly depressed and inanimate. The flat state of the country demand is seriously felt by the buyers, who are not disposed to add to their stocks, and the sales have been very trifling. Arrived, from Barba does, 570 hhds. and 185 hhds. from Jamaica.—Bristol Mercury. Skipper, the celebrated Norwich veteran pedes trian, has nearly accomplished the arduots task of walking fifty miles a day for twenty successive days, and to the present time he is going on all right, and has not yet failed in any one of the days in finishing the stated distance. Sunday will be the last day of the match, therefore on the Monday he intends walking an extra fifty miles, being for his benefit. —Norfolk Chronicle. The corn merchants are playing their old game again of raising prices, in order to lower the duty on foreign grain, and we heff they calculate on getting the duty down to 6s. per quarter ii a few weeks—which we have no doubt they will effect. This plainly shows the absurdity of the present Corn-laws; a fixed duty would be far preferable.—Exeter Western Times. YARMOUTH.—DISCOVERY OF ARCHITECTURAL RE MAINS Iti ST. NICHOLAS CHURCH.—In the autumn of 1841, the Dean and Chapter of Norwich ordered the re storation of four double light early English windows in the north and south aisles of St. Nicholas Church, which is now being completed under the judicious and able superintendence of J. Brown, Esq., an architect who ranks among the most successful ecclesiastical architects of the day. The apse has been embellished for many years by a painted Grecian screen, which being damaged by the masons employed in restoring the windows, was removed from the south and north sides, when the " Opus pretiosum circa magnum allure," that is, " pre cious, or costly work about the great altar" mentioned by Swinden,was exposed to view.—Cambridge Advertiser. DISCOVERY OF ANCIENT RELICS.—TO the anti quarian, the following additional particulars, connected with the finding of the battle axes and sword, at Low thorpe, near Driffield, may prove interesting. As Richard Foord, a servant in the employ of Mr. John Lamplugh, _farmer, Lowthorpe, was about to cut a drain, on turning up the earth he found a number of tiles, on removing which, twelve battle axes presented themselves, ing side by side, and two portions of a large sword were laid across them. The sword was of steel, sharp at both edges, and had apparently been of large dimensions ; but the middle and the hilt were eaten away by the hand of time. The axes were made of a metal resembling brass. some of them were in a remarkably fine state of preservation, and on rubbing away the adhering mould became quite bright, and appeared to have had a fine polish on them. The edges were very sharp, so much so, that it seemed extraordinary how so soft a metal had been made to retain an edge so keen, unless the Romans had a method of case hardening brass. These axes were not very large, and somewhat resembled in shape those axes emblazoned on escut cheons, though the outlines were not so acutely deter mined. None of them had shafts, but the hole of an oval shape still remained, and to some of the axes was attached a short chain. This chain it is supposed had been for the purpose of passing through the shaft and hooking on to a loop on the opposite side, to prevent the axe parting from the shaft. Three other axes were afterwards found by another individual.—York Courant. OH THAT THE WORLD WERE BLIND I—Dr. Frank lin observes:—" Tile eyes of other people are the eyes that ruin us. If all but myself were blind, I should neither want fine house nor fine furniture." The Augsburgh Gazette announces a Ministerial change in the Wallachian Government. Constantine Suzzo replaces Kantakazenos ; Styr Bey, at present in Paris, is appointed to manage the Home Government, in lieu of Michael Ghika, the Hospodar's brother, whose functions are, ad interim, to be filled by Ban Baljano ; Nincsalesko replaces Heresko in the Finance De partment ; Bibaske, named Minister of Justice, has declined. The Russian Commissary, Colonel Dumahel, has made all these changes; I.nd in making them, he aims at annoying Prince Ghika, as well as the Assembly of the States. The States complained of the Ministry, and wanted to replace it by more liberal men of their Own body. Colonel Duhamel has changed the Ministry. and obtained the appointment of men considered liberal, but not of the States; so that the States are dissatisfied. Chekib Effiindi, sent by the Porte, will, it is said, sup port the Hospodar, Ghika, and his family. By the death of Lieut.-General the Hon. John Ramsay, which took place last week at Edinburgh, the Colonelcy of the 79tli Foot is vacant. General Ramsay had held the regiment little more than a year, and the date of his commission as Lieut.-General was Nov. 23, 1841. lie was brother of the late Earl of Dalhousie, and iu his 68th year. He has left a very large family behind him. At Berne a curious case of opposition to the mar riage of a deaf and dumb girl was brought under con sideration. It appeared that Anne Luthi, the person in question, an exceedingly pretty young woman of 25, and possessing a fortune of 30,000 francs, had been placed in a deaf and dumb institution near Berne, where she had received an excellent education. On herreturning home to Bohrbach, where ker relations resided, her hand was de manded by a M. Brossard, who had been deaf from 14 years of age, and had been employed for some years as a teacher in the institution at which Mlle. Luthi had been brought up. He was 32 years of age, bore an excellent character, and had saved some money out of his salary. As Art. 31 of the Civil Code of Berne enacts that deaf and dumb persons could not marry without having first obtained permission from the Tribunal, she made the application in the usual manner, but was opposed by her relations, and by the commune in which she lived, as they preferred seeing her fortune remain in the hands of some young peasant of the neighbour hood to having it pass to a stranger. The grounds of opposition were, that Brossard had taken an undue advantage of his position in the institution to capti vate the young girl's affection—that it was to be feared that the children would labour under the infirmity of the parents—and that these latter could not, in case they were like other children, give them the cares required for a good moral education. The objections relating to the children being proved by the testimony of medical men to be perfectly chimerical, and letters being pro duced from the young female herself, admirably written, breathing forth the utmost affection for Brossard, the Court decided, that as from their infirmity being mutual, and: their consequent habit of interchanging ideas by signs, they were well suited to each other, and there were good grounds for expecting that the female would be happier with Brossard than with any other person, no just grounds for opposition existed, and permission must accordingly be given for the marriage. " SWlNG. " —Sussex, we believe, was the county in which 13 years ago incendiarism began. There " Swing," first showed his head, and there he was oftenest seen. We understand he has again made his appearance in that county, and that several fires and many cases of cattle maiming have occurred lately. In addition to thi s , th rea tening letters have been flying about. These untoward circumstances have occa sioned considerable alarm. Work is scarce, and owing to the extreme lightness of the crops, which have never been known to be more unpromising, harvest will not afford much extra employment.— Niles Independent, DUBOURG'S CENTRIFUGAL RAILWAY. This novel scientific exhibition—a truly marvellous adaptation of simple mechanical laws to the purposes of locomotion—was opened for the first time to the public a few evenings since, at Great Windmill -street, in the Haymarket. Heretofore we had considered that the ignis rota, or Pandemonian-wheel, the affixation to which of corporal bodies, and the whirling theta round with in conceivable rapidity, which is so frequently represented by Della Bella, in his pictures of the Inferno —along with the rotatory impulsion of the revolving Ixion, were little better than a brace of clever fictions or impossibilities, inasmuch as they appeared to sin against the laws of capacity in human corperieties to endure or permit of such motion. The centrifugal railway however, un deceived us, and we are prone to confess, that some shrewd Archimedean had discovered centuries ago in the ancient world, that which M. Dubourg only at the pre sent time brings forward. But to particulars. Entering the saloon, the eye is attracted by a large mechanical apparatus, which consists of descending planes, that at their centre assume the form of a bold-curved circle, each measuring about forty feet in diameter. The length of the inclined planes may be computed at about 160 feet together. To the upper end of one of these a car, with grooved-wheels, is fixed on the rail-trams bordering the entire apparatus, and which, being allowed to descend by its own impetus,either empty or containingwhatsoever may be placed in it, slides swiftly down the plane, and by the increased power or momentum gained in that descent, immediately rises round the central circle, and, in obedience to centrifugal laws, performs what may be technically called a somerset, which motion again im parting to it a new momentum, causes it to dart up the as cending plain with the renewed velocity of a rocket. The experiment is miraculous. A weight of 112 lbs., then a can brimful of water, and lastly—which was the most fearful and wonderful—an exhibitor, and subsequently a timid woman, were consecutively entrusted to the car, and whirled upside down round the circle without spillage of a drop of liquid, or the slight es t nervousness on the part of the female during this apparently perilous and lightning-like rotation. Till due con s id era t ion i s ma d e of the composition of the forces in action--their accele rated motion from gravity, and the repellent or centri fugal powers in operation, this spectacle startles the mind like a marvel. Yet it is explainable by the sim plest law of mechanics, and is identically the same as that by which a tumbler of water, placid in a sling, may by gradually increasing oscillation (which is, however, here accomplished at once), be made to revolve the whole circle without the upsetting of a drop. With regard to its practical application, it might most beneficially be introduced into mines and collieries, where ascent and descent require the frequent carriage of scoria, ore, or coal. In such cases Lord Ashley's humane projects might be aided by its adoption, in the stead of human strength, sweat, and degradation; and the present im brutement of our species. Either as a wonder of the day, or a scientific triumph, it must not be neglected to be visited. F THE COINAGE.—As a great many questions have arisen as to whether a sovereign placed on the balance ought to turn it, it is important to know that the Bank decided on Thursday that all sovereigns presented at their counters which shall be on the balance shall be taken as of legal weight. The new silver coinage was issued to the public yesterday, and it i s understood that the Bank vaults have already received larg upplies from the Mint. ANOTHER CASE OF DEATH BY STARVATION.— Abraham Holloway died at Bradford, on Friday last, at noon, .under the following circumstances:—Nary Holloway, wife of the brother of the deceased, states that her brother-in-law has been in York Castle for the last nine months for the non-pay ment of poor -rates. He had nothing to live on while there but bread and water for five months, and the other three months about 3s. 7d. per week, for doing some job or other about the wards of the Castle. A sister of the deceased, who resides in Leeds states, that she has been once to Bradford, to the clerk of the Board of Guardians, for some relief for him, and to get him out of the Castle, but it was of no avail. About six weeks ago, the deceased was liberated from York Castle, and he came to his sister's, who resides in Leeds, and stopped there about a month ; this was a poor family, anti, of course, could do but very little for him. He then went to Bradford to a brother of his, who is nearly as poor as himself, and had next to nothing to give him either to eat or drink; and last week the man was taken ill. His brother's wife applied on Wed nesday last to the relieving officer for some relief, but the kind hearted relieving officer told her she must do as well as she could until Saturday. She then asked him for a note for the doctor ; this he gave her, but not a single sixpence of money to get him anything either to eat or drink. The doctor at tended and sent him some medicine, but it was too late, the man expired on Friday at noon. These facts require no com ment.—Bradford Correspondent of the Leeds Journal. The workmen who are digging a sewer in the Rue Olivier, near the chu rc h o f N o t re Dame de Lorette, have turned up a large quantity of human bones. This is considered to be very unaccountable, as there is no record of any ceme tery having existed in that quarter. A mason named Dupain, residing at Compiegne, in the Faubourg St. Lazare, disappeare.l from his habi tation a few years back, and the report ran that he had gone away with another woman, he and ' his wife being frequently at variance. The matter dropped at last, and was no more spoken of, when, a few days ago, some smoke being seen issuing from a crack below an oven which is common to the different lodgers, and some accident being apprehended from fire, it was de cided to open the wall. In doing so, it was recollected that it hail been formerly used as a rabbit-hutch by the Dupains, but had been long wailed up. The wail was accordingly taken down ; and what was the horror of the bystanders on beh o ldi ng i ns id e a d ea d b o d y , f u ll y Idressed, leaning against the wall, like a man sleeping tranquilly. This body, complet e ly d r i e d u p, was recog nisedl to be that of Dupain. The clothes were in a per fect state of preservation, and the skin of the face and hands was dry like parchment, but dark-coloured. In formation was immediately given to the authorities, who ordered the wife of Dupain to be arrested on suspicion. The trial of thirty-seven of a band of sixty-nine thieves and robbers, organised into a systematic asso ciation, whose arrest we noticed at the time, has oc cupied the Court of Assizes for ten days, ending on Saturday last. The President condemned the prisoners in various punishments—from thirty years' hard labour at the hulks down to five years' simple imprisonment. Among the first category there were eight women. QUEEN CHRISTINA. —The Moniteur Parisien of Friday evening contains' the following :—" On Mon day evening Queen Christina and her suite set out for 1 Malmaison, to spend there the remainder of the summer. In the morning the Cure of Rueil, with the permission of the Bishop of Versailles„ blessed all the apartments in the chateau, as is the custom in Spain. The next morn ing the band of the 39th Regiment of the Line, in gar rison at Rueil, executed several symphonies under the Queen's apartment. The Mayor, the Clergy, and the different authorities, are to be received here to-morrow (this day). Queen Christina has not, as was reported, purchased Malmaison, but has simply taken it on a lease. In all the repairs and improvements ordered by the Queen, the greatest care has been taken to preserve everything which called to mind the times of the Em peror Napoleon and the Empress Josephine. The council room has been left as it was arranged by the orders of Napoleon. The grand drawing-room is furnished in the style of the Empire ; and on the pendule on the chimney is a remarkably fine bronze, representing the First Con sol on horseback, at: the passage of Mont St. Bernard. The delicate attentions of the Royal owner of Malmaison have caused a lively sensation throughout the neigh bourhood, and, notwithstanding the late hour of her ar rival, a considerable number of persons were assembled to greet her with loud acclamations." MELANCHOLY CASE OF SUICIDE.—On Friday an inquest was held before Mr. Carter, at the Artichoke, Cliurch street, Camberwell, on the body of Mrs. Eliza Crowder, aged 27, the wife of a respectable baker, residing near the Grove, at Camberwell, who destroyed herself. It appeared by the testimony of a number of witnesses, that on Wednesday morning, about twenty minutes to two o'clock, the deceased was found lying in the shop with her throat cut in a dreadful manner. Fier cap was on the counter, and a razor near her head. Two policemen soon attended, and they were of opinion she had been dead for some time, which was corroborated by the evidence of Mr. Massey, surgeon, who resides nearly opposite. Mr. Crowder usually went to bed before his wife, he having t ()get up early in the morning, and she generally closed the shop. She and her husband apparently lived happily together, but on the Tuesday she had been labouring under considerable excitement, in consequence of her son having been , beaten by another boy, but beyond this nothing extraordinary was observed in her manner. It seemed, however, by the exami nation of Mr. Thomas Nathaniel Crowder, a compositor, living in Webber-row, the brother of her husband, that she had been labouring under a most erroneous impression of her hus band's infidelity, and also that the brother wished to separate husband and wife, than which nothing could be further from fact. She was in the habit of saying that, because she was friendless she supposed she " must be put upon," while no un kindly feeling was observed on the husband's part. Inspector Campbell stated, in answer to questions put by the Coroner and Jury, that he had ascertained the razor belonged to Mr. Crowder, and that it was usually kept on the mantelpiece in the back parlour. It is supposed the act must have been com mitted immediately on the closing of the shop at eleven o'clock on Tuesday night. The Coroner inquired if the Jury wished to examine the husband, but they were of opinion it was not at all necessary, and unanimously returned a verdict, " That the deceased destroyed herself while in a state of temporary insanity." THE SOCIAL VILLAGERS.—The eleventh anniver sary of this Society took place at the Bedford Arms, on Thurs day last, Mr.. Sheridan Knowles (its founder), presided; Mr. A. M'Cailan was the vice-president. The attendance was. as usual, numerous and respectable. The Chairman, on his health being proposed, returned thanks in a most glowing and animated speech, in the course of which he drew a most melancholy pic ture of the present degenerate state of the British drama, which he attributed, in a main degree to the exclusive patronage be• stowed by the aristocracy of the country on foreigners. " For whilst (said the Chairman) a theatre where the best and most sterling of our English plays are being continually well acted, present but comparatively empty benches, the one where French dramas are exhibited, have constantly crowded audiences. Mr. Knowles said he was the author of a great number of dramatic pieces, none of which kept that p ossess i on of the stage which he thought the applause with which they had been formerly re ceived, so justly entitled them to, and which he imputed to the reason he had just stated ; and, he further observed, that he Ifeared his last production (now performing at the Haymarket) would in all probability soon s h are the same fate as the others had done. Several very excellent songs were given among the nu mber, a very pleasing one (composed by N e l son , an d sung by Mr. T. Williams, out of compliment, we presume, to the dramatist) entitled " The Rose of Arragon." Mirth and good humour prevailed the whole evening, and the company did not separate until a late hour.

I SHEEP-FARMING IN NEW SOUTH WALES. Among the miscellaneous extracts from the Au.s tralian Journals copied into those of India, we find the Calcutta Englishman quoting an extraordinary narra tive relative to the peril attending that Inuch talked , of lucrative undertaking, sheep-farming in the interior of New South Wales. The writer of the letter.which is here alluded to is described as a settler at P6rtland Bay, and the truth of what he 'ays respecting the: fact of the people of England entertaining a most erroneous idea of the occupation of sheep-farming cannot be refuted. Instead of it being "the easiest and most delightful life beneath the sun, with the certainty of making a fortune," scarcely a living can now be obtained from it, and the reason is, that the flocks are increasing so prodigiously fast, that there is not sufficient demand to keep th em w ithi n saleable compass. Hence the great fall in the value of sheep, and the desperate state of the agriculturists. On the subject of the safety of the country, the accounts appear to be most discouraging. The frequent murder of sheep-farmers and their assistants while tending their flocks in the tracks of the interior, the only places in which there seems to be nourishment sufficient to support the herds, is alluded to as illustrative of the caution re quired on the part of persons who may feel inclined to embark in this description of occupation ; while the cannibalism by which these slaughters are accom panied are not the least part of the revolting details which cause the mind to sicken in the contemplation of them. To fit a party for the hardy requisites of sheep farming, which appears to be the mode of life which most of the agriculturists who leave our shores are inclined to follow, there must, it is stated, be no lack of moral courage as well as physical force to encounter the many obstacles which present them selves, either in the shape of long wanderings after the necessary pasturage and water, or the uncertainty of how long the " run" may satisfy the flocks under inspection even when it is discovered. The picture of such a state of things is pretty well portrayed in the following extract of the letter of the writer before alluded to, and which will, doubtless, produce in the minds of those who may have in contemplation such a migration the idea of the necessity of some further investigation before they determine upon such ad venturous pursuits. After stating the particulars attending the death of Mr. Morton and his servant, which is considered as only one of the many in the catalogue of massacres committed by the natives, he proceeds : • "As the Government have not taken the slightest Step in this affair, it is not to be wondered at if the settlers themselves take ample vengeance on the blacks, and which they most assuredly will do. This affair was preceded by the murder of a shepherd at a station on the same river, but for which upwards of twenty of them got shot, and since then several attempts have been made ; indeed the other night there were five or six blacks at my sheepfold, when it was only a few yards from my house • fortunately the dogs preve n t e d th em doing any mischief. But the other night I had a terrible alarm from them. I was coming up from the bay with a dray load of provisions, and only one man and my self ; we had done our day's journey, made our camp, and had supper, and were then distant a common day and a half's journey from home, when about eight o'clock in the evening we heard a most terrific yell from a large body of them about a quarter of a mile distant. Luckily John II- and two men on their way to the bay had just joined us, so we all got our fire-arms in readiness, expecting to be attacked every moment. As, however, they did not come down to us then, we thought our only chance of• safety was to yoke the bullocks up again, and quietly steal away, as our three allies were going in a contrary direction ; fortunately, it was a brilliant moonlight night, and we reached the first station, distant about twenty miles, in nine hours. When I reached home I had been upwards of twenty-six hours on my legs, most of the time walking, with only two hours' rest. I never was so knocked up in my life. :Yon may imagine this state of things increases our anxiety:very much ; we dare not now go ten yards from the house without fire arms. The ether day a black fellow, without any wea pon at all, rushed at two men and nearly mastered them, breaking a double-barrelled gun, about three miles from my house ; and one day, whilst I was at the bay, my wife was going to take a walk with her servant, when, about one hundred yards from the house, they saw a native, stark naked, standing [in the creek watching them; she went back to call her brother, when the fellow made off." The latest news from London noticed by the Sydney papers is the destruction by fire of the Tower. Tile new discovery of a river called the Richmond, about 50 miles to the northward of Clarence, was re garded as of some importance, as being another link towards the connexion of Sydney with Moreton Bay. The land on the bard:3 is described as being very fine, abounding with pine and cedar. NEW BATCH. OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES.—.

WILL OF JUSTICE LITTLEDALE.—The will of the late Justice Littledale has just been sworn to by the executors, in the Prerogative Court of the 'Lord Archbishop of Canter bury, in Doctors'-commons. The personal property has been sworn under 250,000/. There are several legacies bequeathed to the testator's grandchildren, servants, and clerks ; but the bulk of the property goes to his daughter, who married Mr. Courtney (who is one of the executors), to whom a dowry of 23,0001. was given at marriage. The will is of great length. Sir Joseph was called to the bar in 1798, and was raised to the bench in 1824, whey he received the honour of knighthood. MADEMOISELLE RACHEL.—This celebrated actress having completed her engagement at her Majesty's Theatre, takes her benefit this evening, when she will give representa tions of some of the finest scenes in Marie Stuart, Androma guy, and Les Horaces. The principal artistes of the Italian Opera, including Persiani, Frezzolini, Moltini, Lablache, Guasco, Roneoni, Rubini, and also Cerito, will lend their bril liant aid upon the occasion. We learn, with much satisfaction, that negotiations are far advanced for laying down the Electric Telegraph of Messrs. Cooke and Wheatstone on the South Western Railway to Portsmouth.

Several cases having lately occurred, in which criminals have not been taken into custody so promptly as the public had a right to expect, the Commissioners of Police have arranged that a new company shall be immediately raised out of the present police, to be called the " Detective Force," and is to consist of two inspec tors and eight sergeants, and private constables to be seleoted by the Commissioners from the most efficient officers belonging to the various divisions of the present police force, who are to have full range of the whole metropolitan district, with power and funds to enable them to prosecute a diligent search, in order to detect and bring to justice offenders, whose crimes have laid them open to the punishment of the law. The two inspec tors are to receive 2004 per annum, and the pay of the other eight officers is to be raised to thirty shillings per week each. STAFFORD HOUSE.—GRAND POLISH FETE. —On Friday next, the 15th inst., the Duchess of Sutherland has invited the elite of our aristocracy and the fashionable world, as well as those who may be charitably disposed, to amenable beneath the roof of her stately and magnificent mansion. on the occasion of a fete to be there given for the benefit of the Polish refugees. Signors Mario and Rubini have kindly consented to lend their assistance, and the Stabat Mater of Rossini is to be performed by the full strength of the Ger man company. The price of tickets has been fixed, we un derstand, at two guineas, the same as last year ; but, in conse quence of the great demand for them on that occasion, not withstanding their high price, their number is to be very limited this time, and as the notice has been unavoidably short, it is hoped that those who wish to attend will make an early application. It is superfluous to add, that it is expected ' the approaching fete, conducted, as it will be on a scale of the most unbounded splendour and liberality, will eclipse most of those which have preceded it this year, and may be looked on as a not inappropriate termination of th e fashionable season...- Observer. DEATH or Mas. Fox.--This venerable lady ex pired on Friday morning at her seat at St. Anne's Hill, near ChertseT, in the 97th year of her age. The Right Hon. Chas. James lox died in 1806, aged 58. She was consequently three years older than her husband, and survived him 36 years. The funeral of the late Earl of Leicester is fixed to take place this day, at Tetterson, about nine miles from Holkham. HER MAJEETY ' S TITEATRE.—Anna Bolena was revived at her Majesty's Theatre last night, the chief novelty in the revival being Mad. Frezzolini in the part of Anna. 'fhe performance of this distinguished artiste in this character was a signal triumph of genius and skill; and even with the recol lection of Grisi in the same part strong in the mind, she left nothing to be wished for on the part of the audience. Until last night, in fact, the English public had no sufficient oppor tunity for judging with anything like accuracy the execution of this eminent singer, the parts she had previously appeared in being all subordinate, with the exception of Lncrersa Borgia, the music of which afforded her no adequate field for the display of her great powers. But in the part of Anna Bolena, she has burst forth upon the musical world of England as a prodigy in her art, and she has all at once planted herself firmly in the public favour , if this country. It is but justice to state that the part of Giovani Seymour was ably and artistically performed by Madame Ronconi, notwithstanding great apparent illness t w e a s curtain m oat and evident exhaustion ; and that Rubini natenhedetipeaafbrtlaoefhtethine whole was crowded, and the attendanceore respective parts won the highest applause from the audience.
