only 3s 8d per Sibs. With foreign Sheep we were heavily supplied, but the number of English was very moderate. All breeds were dull in the extreme. In prices, however, we have no further decline to notice. The " season" for Lamb is now over. Calves were in full average supply, and heavy demand, at barely last week's currencies. There was a slight improvement in the sale for prime dairy-fed Pork. Otherwise the trade ruled dull. Mulch Cows were selling with difficulty, at from 141 to 181 each, including their small Calf.

In several parts of Kent and Sussex, Ifop-picking has been brought to a conclusion. The growth is stated to be very deficient, compared with that of last year. Our market is somewhat largely supplied with New Hops, yet the demand for them has improved, and prices may be considered tolerably firm. Tho duty is called 85,0001 to 90,000/.

THE FRENCH STATE TRIALS.—RoIIin and the other Montagnards of France, who are cited to take their trials at Versailles on the 10th proximo, have, with the full approbation of their friends, determined not to appear on the day named, alleging that they would not be per mitted to take that line of defence which they believe would issue in an acquittal, owing to the state of feel ing in France. This determination has the entire con currence and support of their French friends. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY MORNlNG.—Arrived—Her Majesty's ship Brilliant, Captain Watson, from the Cape of Good Hope. She has no later news than that brought by the Inflexible a fortnight since. SOUTHAMPON, FRIDAY Monimio.—Yesterday, at Havre, the cotton market showed a little more activity, but it was purely occasioned by the sales for immediate consumption; they amounted to about 700 bales at late quota ions. A. BULLOCK OF TIIE OLDEN TIME.—The other day a bullock's head was dug out of the loch of Brickigoe, on the estates of Thrumster, where so many curiosities and relics have been found. It is the largest yet disco vered there, and was so heavy that an able-bodied man ' was scarcely able to lift it. The girth of the skeleton, or slough of one of the bones, is 17 inches; from point to point of the horns, 2 feet 7 inches; and along the h orn s and across the forehead, 4 feet 7 inches. It was broken off below the eye holes, between which the space was the extraordinary distance of 12i inches.—John o' Groat's Journal. LAUNCIL—On Thursday last a fine screw-steamer was launched from the building-yard of Messrs. Smith and Roger, Govan. Her tonnage and model are almost precisely the same with that of the Apollo screw steamer, which was built by the same firm some months ago, and is at present in the St. Petersburgh trade. The present vessel, which has been named the Diana, is in tended for the trade to Hamburgh. Small griefs are loquacioug--great are dumb. — Eliza Cook's journal. - 39 ... 15 . 36 LONDON ) WEST SURREY ELECTION. GUILDFORD, TIIURSDAY.—The official declaration of the poll _ at the election for this division of the county took place at noon to-day in the Town-hall. As was stated in yesterday's Sun, Mr. Edgell, the Liberal candidate, withdrew from the contest at the close of the first day's (Tue.sday) poll, leaving to his' Protectionist opponent, Mr. Evelyn, the honour of becoming the representative of West Surrey in Par liament. At 11 o'clock this morning Mr. Evelyn left his hotel, the White Hart, in a carriage drawn by four horses, and escorted by a large body of hi s friends, on foot, on horseback, and in carriages, pro ceeded through the principal streets of the town. The colours of the successful candidate—orange and purple—were displayed from many of the houses on the line of route. Soon after 12 o'clock Mr. C. Abbott, the Under- Sheriff (in the absence of Mr. IV. F. G. Farmer, High Sheriff of the county), took his seat on the bench in the Town-hall, Mr. Evelyn and his friends having previously arrived. Among the gentlemen present we observed Mr. Currie, M.P., Mr. H. Drummond, M.P., Lord Grantley, and the Hon. G. C. Norton, Recorder of Guildford. A large number of elegantly dressed ladies were present in the hall, which, on the doors being thrown open, was com pletely crammed. The usual proclamation having been made, The UNDER-SHERIFF said, that in the unavoidable absence of the High Sheriff, it became his duty to de clare that, having cast up the votes given at the election, he found the numbers to be — For Mr. Evelyn... •.. ... 1,144 For Mr. Edgell.. .. 988 leaving a majority of 156 votes in favour of Mr. Evelyn.—(Loud cheers.) He therefore declared William John Evelyn, Esq., of Wootton, duly elected a knight of the shire to serve in the present Parliament for the western division of Surrey. Air. EVELYN then came forward and was vocife rously cheered. He begged to express his deep sense of the distinguished honour which they had' conferred upon him in electing him as their representative.---' (Cheers and some hisses.) When he addressed them on the day of nomination he had been in some measure carried away by the excitement of the occasion, and had omitted to allude to one or two important subjects upon which be thought it right that his opinions should be known to the electors. He would there fore avail himself of the present opportunity to acquaint them with his sentiments upon those questions. — (Hear, hear.) Before doing so, however, he wished to restate very briefly the views he entertained on the subject of free-trade. He was sure that none of those friends by whom he was surrounded thought that dearness was a blessing—(Cries of " Hear, hear,") or that cheapness was a curse,—(" Hear," and cheers,) On the contrary, they maintained the contradictories of these propositions as strongly as any one could do. All that he and those friends with whom he had con ferred on the subject, meant by protection was fair play in competition; and he now said, and had said all along, of the present system of free trade, that it was a system of unfair play in competition.—(Hear, hear.) He maintained that its object was to raise the manufacturing population at the expense of the agricultural population.—(Cheers, and a cry of " No, no ; no such thing !" followed by laughter and renewed cheering.) Sir J. Graham had compared the system of free trade to a capital. He (Mr. Evelyn) would rather say that it was a column leaning on one side.—(A laugh.) He would not destroy that column, but he would set it straight—(Hear, hear) — and would make its proportions fair and equal.— (Cheers.) lie contended that it was not right that agriculture should be subjected to peculiar burdens, from which the manufacturing portion of the popu lation was exempted.—(Cheers.) He had on other occasions addressed them in detail as to the particular measures which he thought were calculated to relieve agriculture from these burdens, so that it was unnecessary for him to enter into the question now. He wanted a reduction of taxation—(Hear, hear) — and an equalization of those burdens which pressed upon agricultural industry.—(Loud Cheers.) He wished to acquaint them with his opinions on the subject of the Church.—(Hear, hear.) He was deeply attached to the Church of England—(Hear, hear)—and he believed the destruction of that Church would be fraught with ruin to the country.—(A voice—" Ruin to the aristocracy, you mean." — Laughter and cheers.) He was confirmed in this opinion when he reflected upon the labours of the working clergy, who were so self-denying in their lives, and who behaved with the utmost kindness to the poor.—(llear, hear.) But what he wished parti cularly to say on this occasion was, that he liked the Church to assert her own independence; and he was glad that on the question of education she had made a stand against State interference.—(Hear, hear.) He thought that the Church should not lean on the Government for assistance, but should trust to, the ^ ( sty internal rognil es 'he —a course which, ?as opinion, oriqu T) crease her influence with the people. w lle R Ould now make a few observations with regard to reductions in the public expenditure. He was warmly in fa vour of a reduction of the national expenditure ; and he wished to observe, that he did not state positively the other day that no reduction ought to be made in the army and navy, but that he thought such reduction was a fair subject for the consideration of the Government. He said, at the same time, that in his opinion they ought to maintain the army and navy in a state of efficiency, for that not to do so would be the worst possible economy, and would probably eventually entail upon the country much additional expense. He wished, however, distinctly to state that he was in favour of all practicable reductions, and he thought that upon this question the views of his friend Mr. Drummond were entitled to high consideration.—(Hear, hear.) There was one other subject on which he wished to say a few words—the subject of the colonies. He knew that what he was about to say was opposed to the liberal principle of centralisation, but he was in favour of giving an increased degree of self-govern ment to the colonies.—(Hear, hear.) He thought all parties seemed to be agreed on this point—that the colonies should be left to manage their own affairs a little more freely than had hitherto been the case ; and the people of this country would then have some security that they would not be called upon to pay 2,000,000/. for a Kafir war.—(Hear.) He hoped they would not consider that, because he was a Con servative, he was in favour of maintaining abuses.— (Hear.) If he were in favour of maintaining abuses he should not be a Conservative, because the only way to preserve our institutions was to improve them. They must remember that the people of England were not a mere collection of men and women, but that they belonged to a society, and their institutions were the framework of that society. Without these institu tions, society would be resolved into its first elements and by the destruction of such institutions the people would be the greatest losers. He might observe, re verting to the subject of the Church, that he was not one of those who thought that the Church was in danger ; for his confidence in the progress of en lightenment and good sense among the people in duced him to believe that they would daily become more sensible of the value of the Church.—(Hear, and cheers.) It was in ages of darkness that the Church was really in danger, and he did not think any such danger existed now. The election which had just terminated had been conducted under very peculiar circumstances, and he thought he might congratulate his supporters upon having achieved a glorious triumph --(Loud cheers.) Great and powerful influences had been exerted against them —(Hear, hear)—but even when his (Mr. Evelyn's) prospects of success had seemed doubtful be had de clined all aid from extraneous sources.—(Loud cheers.) His reliance had been 'laced, on the generous and disinterested support of- such friends -as he then saw around him, and upon the good faith, honesty, intelligence, and independence la. the electors of West Surrey.—(Hear, and cbeera.) He- had la boured under the disadvantage of being opposed to a gentleman of the highest station and obaracter, and who was far better known to the electors than him. self (Mr. Evelyn) ; but all difficulties had been over come, and the electors of this county bad shown their determination not to strengthen the hands of the pre sent Government. lie (Mr. Evelyn) thought they had acted rightly. Much as he detested the principles of the Radicals, he honoured their good intentions.— (Hear.) He thought the mistake they made was that they sought to destroy instead of to develope.— (Hear, and cheers.) But, with regard to the Whigs, although there might be excellent men among them, he would ask whether any person present be lieved that the Whig oligarchy, as a body, cared for the people ?—(Cries of " No,' and cheers.) He must remind them that he had not been supported in this contest by Conservatives alone, but by that numerous and increasing body of the Liberal party who were dissatisfied with the present Government, and who wished agriculture to retain its just position in the social scale.— (Hear, hear.) He would go into Par liament unattached to any party, but he wished the electors to know that he was net a supporter of the present Government, and that he had no confidence in that Government, either with regard to their home or foreign policy.—(Hear.) He believed that if an enlightened Conservative Ministry were formed upon the principle of financial amendment, practical im provement, and justice to agriculture, the country would rally round such a Government.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman concluded by again thanking his friends for the energetic and successful exertions they had made on his behalf, and resumed his seat amid loud applause. Mr. H. DRUMMOND, M.P. having been called for from the body of the hall, said he would not occupy their attention for more than a few moments in asking them to express their thanks to the High Sheriff, for the manner in which he bad conducted the proceedings of the election.—(Cries of "Goon.") They had sent hint (Mr. Drummond) to Parliament to vindicate the rights of British against foreign labour.--(A —"And you have done it, too."—Laughter and cheers.) Yes ; and he would do it, whenever he could have a good, fair, stand up fight, face to face, with the advocates of foreigners—(Cheers)—but he did not think it would be right or wise to say more upon that subject on the present occasion. He would only say that the High Sheriff had conducted himself with so much urbanity and kindness during the election, that he was entitled to their most cordial acknowledgments; and he begged to move a vote of thanks to that official. The motion having been seconded by EVELYN, was carried by acclamatiep, amid loud cheering. Mr. It. GOLDITAWK wished to observe that the electors of the borough of Guildford had it in their power to promote the interests of the agriculturists by returning Members for the borough who would support those interests. If the electors of Guildford did not send Members to Parliament who would sup , port the agriculturists, they could not expect the agriculturists to support them. The agriculturists were independent of them, but the people of Guild ford were not independent of the agriculturists. if the farmer's waggon did not come into the town, the townspeople would soon find out that free-trade was even worse than they now supposed it to be. He knew that the borough had returned one free-trade Member ; but he presumed that the other (Mr. Currie), from the support he had given to Mr. Evelyn, was a staunch Protectionist.—(Cheers.) He called upon the meeting to give three cheers fur Colonel 11. Sumner and Mr. Thurlow, who had actively promoted Mr. Evelyn's election. The cheers having been given, a portly gentleman in the body of the hall, whose indignation seemed to have been excited by the remarks of the last speaker, endeavoured to make some observations, but his voice was drowned by the shouts of those by whom he was surrounded, and, finding it impossible to obtain a hearing, he at length relapsed into silence. Colonel. SUMNER and Mr. THURLOW having acknowledged the compliment which had been paid them, Mr. CURRIE, M.P., said he believed there was no man in the hall who was a better Conservative than himself, or who from birth, habit, feeling, and con viction was more attached to the interest of the farmers.—(Cheers.) The assembly then separated, and Mr. Evelyn again proceeded round the town in procession with his supporters. POISONING AT CHELTENHAM. CHELTENHAM, THURSDAY. — The protracted in quiry into the cause of the death of Samuel and Elizabeth Gregory has been closed this evening, and a verdict of " Wilful Murder" has been returned against Emanuel Barnett, the person who furnished the materials for making the poisoned dumplings, though the mystery of the case has by no means been cleared up. The jury re• assembled yesterday evening after our parcel was dispatched, and proceeded with the exami nation of other witnesses. The last witness examined, it will be remembered, was a young girl named Stuart, who denied that she had been present at the funeral of the deceased on Thursday last, or that she had made use of certain expressions imputed to her by a Mrs. Stephenton as to her admitted knowledge of the parties who had procured and administered the arsenic. The next witness called was the mother of the witness Stuart, an elderly woman, named Martha Sage, who deposed that she knew nothing whatever of the cause of death of the deceased. She also swore positively that she had never mentioned the subject of arsenic to her daughter, Harriet Stuart, and that she had never used any threat towards her in connexion with the death of the deceased, or as to the purchase of arsenic, as sworn by Mrs. Stephenton. George Barnett, the son of the two prisoners Ema nuel Barnett and his wife, was also examined at great length by the coroner and jury, but no new fact was established by his evidence; indeed, he appeared to know very little of his father's movements, and less of the transactions of the day on which the deceased came by their death. The CORONER, at this stage, repeated his conviction that it was unnecessary to protract the investigation, and addressed the jury on the nature of the evidence before them, and its effect as implicating the prisoner Emanuel Barnett. He did not think that any of the facto brought in evidence at all attached blame to Mrs. Barnett; or, at any rate, there was ,not suffi cient against her to justify her. detention in custody. The coroner then referred to the evidence as against her husband, Emanuel Barnett, which he considered was quite sufficient to prove that the poisoned flour had come from his hands, and that that was the mov ing cause of the death of ? the unfortunate couple. The prisoner, Emanuel Barnett, having given no satisfac tory account of the manner in which he had become possessed of the arsenic, where he had bought the flour, how he had come by it, or whether ho had doubt, return. such a veßliciaV•iVoufk ita wonld. v .v. his trial. The coroner then cautioned the prisoner that he was not bound to make any statement, and at the same time told him that any statement which he might make at all criminating himself would be taken down to be made use of against him hereafter. The prisoner, Emanuel 13arnett, then said he was quite ignorant of the manner in which the arsenic got into the flour. lie had not placed it there himself. He had never bought or used arsenic in his life ; indeed he did not know what arsenic was, never having used any in his life. He added, that the last flour which he had purchased he had got at the shop of Mr. Hollis, in Chelterham. The jury then consulted together privately for half an hour, after which, the parties being again called into the room, they returned their verdict— " Wilful murder against Emanuel Barnett," who was accordingly committed to take his trial at the next assizes for Gloucestershire. The prisoner's wife was set at liberty. To day the second inquest, on the body of Samuel Gregory was resumed, before the same coroner (Mr. Mayer) and another jlry. The evidence given in this case was very simlar to that produced on the first inquest, and it is tierefore unnecessary to repeat it. In this case also a verdict of " Wilful murder" was returned against Emanuel Barnett. The prisoner Barnett and his wife have also been examined before the iota bench of magistrates, but the proceedings before them have been merely of a formal character, the object being to keep the pri soners in custody untilthe coroner's jury had returned heir verdict. MOURNING.—In consequence of the greatly in creased demand for black apparel, the prices have generally risen in a file ratio, and the additional outlay necessary has fallen heavily upon the middle classes. It must be borne in nind that such an effect is no more than what was to be expected, where the requirement is sudden, great, and trgent, and where the small retail dealer from a want of ioresight is driven to purchase in a dear market. Tiers are houses, however, whose whole stock consisting cf this description of goods, find an ample return in the increased demand, and thus in periods like the present prove a positive boon to the public. The Messrs. Jey, of Regent•street, we are told, are eminent in this resect, and clearly servo to demon strate the fact, that in highly fashionable localities, we may rely upon the advantages of quality, of style, and of price, which tleir large purchases, by reason of their great command of capital and The markets, ensure.

WILLIAM CLEAR.—We regret to announce the unexpected death of this highly intelli gent and respected gentleman, which took place almost suddenly, or after a fey hours' illness, on Monday morn ing, in this city, and shortly after his return from at tending the meeting of the British Association in Bir mingham. Mr. Clear held a prominent position among the merchants of Cork, was connected with its various public boards, and was a steady supporter and distin guished member of its literary and scientific bodies. He was likewise a steady supporter, of the public chari ties of the city, and at all times freely associated with schemes of local or gneral utility.

Sir,—l trust that you will permit me to make a few remarks on the letter from Dr. Budd, of the Bristol Infirmary, which I read in your paper of this day, and which alludes to the publication in the Medical Gazette of last week and the 114orning Chronicle of last Friday of an alleged discovery of the cause of cholera made by Messrs. Brittan and Swayne, both of the Medical School at Bristol ; to confirm which discovery Dr. Budd comes forward with his letter, giving it the sanction of his name and own observations. Nothing tends more to spread error, and make it palatable, than an off-hand declaration of discoveries said to be based upon scientific experiments, and an nounced under respectable authority. This is espe cially the case, in our days, in the department of microscopic investigations, and I need not remind you of Mr. Cross's siliceous insect, of - Mr. Smee's potato smut, and, as relating to purer science, to the ozone theory of cholera. The present discovery, it seems, consists in having detected, by means of the microscope, the presence of certain organisms, as Dr. Budd calls them, or live fungi, in that peculiar species of evacuation in cholera which has been denominated, from its resemblance, " the rice-water evacuation." Supposing the microscope not to have deceived these, observers, nor the rest of the scientific gentle men to whom the said objects are stated to have been submitted, we shall ,then have a fact asserted which may be admitted for the present to be a true fact. But how, I ask, does that fact explain the .cause of cholera? All that can fairly be said is, that to many anomalous symptoms which distinguished cholera we must now add the presence of certain microscopic bodies in the excretions, just as in many fevers and abdominal complaints, among other symptoms, we find the presence of ascarides, or threadworm in the excretions. To ascribe rightly to the presence of these fungi in the human body the cause of cholera, it would be requisite to show that the same bodies have been detected immediately after death in the stomach and intestines of patients siiCcumbing before the appear ance of any rice-water evacuation, as is the case in all instances of collapse recorded in all parts of Europe, in India and in America ; and is so strongly dwelt upon as the only real characteristic of the complaint by Dr. Shapter, in his recent history of the cholera in Exeter. Surely, if it is true, as Dr. Budd states in his third conclusion, that these live fungi have particular relish for the intestines of men ; that they can only " develope there ;" and are "in finitely multiplied by self-propagation" in them ; giving rise, by their mode of action on the intestines, to rice-water evacuations,—it will not be difficult to detect the offenders in flagrante delicto, when the victim, whose body they have infected, dies before " their mode of action " gives rise to rice-water evacuations. I ask,—has that been done ? Is Dr. Budd aware of the numerous pathological investigations made by Pyragoff, off St. Petersburgh, who has caused a series of coloured drawings to be made of the many and various appearances after death in cholera patients, of which mention was made in your journal of the Bth of August last? There the minutest texture of the mucous membrane of the intestines was examined, even microscopically, imme diately after death from collapse, in truly malignant cholera cases ; but no such fungi or living organisms were detected. Yet it is there, and not in the mor bid excreta, that the habitat of this supposed cause of cholera ought to be established by Dr. Budd and Messrs. Britten and •Swayne. As those observers have subsequently detected the same offending orga nisms or fungi in the air and water of infected places and cholera districts, it will not be difficult matter for them to follow them up in their new abode—the mucous folds of the intestines. Until then I cannot admit that the presence of any fungi found in the morbid secretions from a choleraic patient can be an ante rather than a post factum phenomenon. But, granting for a moment that the presence of these newly-detected bodies, sporules, cells, fungi, or organisms, or by whatever other name the micro scopic physiologists of the day may choose to deno minate them, occasions rice-water evacuations, which, in their estimation (how wrongfully I need not tell medical readers), mean malignant cholera, how does that explain the cause of the disease? It explains the cause of one of its symptoms without accounting for the many and more important ones. But the disease which produces that one symptom, Dr. Budd says, is the said fungus. Then the. fungus is the cholera, and what is its cause ? 411 other words, what causes the fungus to have a being ? Whence comes it ? How is it engendered ? Why absent from England for a number of years, and then appear again ? Why a single individual in a healthy and wealthy family, eating of the best food and drinking filtered water in common, living in a salubrious and the same locality, breathing the same air, and never having seen either a sick-nurse or a rice-water ex - Je attacked by the fungi and die, and Budd heard of such cases in numbers 'crusty present epidemic ? Again, wherefore among a body of soldiers, like the Blues, as I am informed by their able physician, halt a dozen of them shall be attacked by cholera (by fungi), and not another man in the regiment afterwards, though they all ate and drank and breathed at the time, and continue to do so, in messes or companies, often out of the same dish, out of the same pail of water, and in precisely the same atmosphere ? I do not dispute the possibility of some particular objects having been discovered by the microscope, as stated by the gentlemen so often named, under the circumstances they allude to. What I find inadmis sible are the conclusions come to most abruptly by Dr. Budd in his letter ; for they do not tally with the generality of facts and observations of which the profession is in possession on the question of cholera. Can the presence of any fungi entering the human body explain the fate of 500 men daily sickening and dying of the cholera within the hour at Ganjam ; or the destruction of 10,000 men at Jessore ; or the seizure and falling down of sentinels at their posts, and of their successor, and of a third and a fourth substitute—all perishing before the two hours' duty had been performed ? Whence came the fungi that destroyed in the only case of cholera which has occurred at Birmingham, and the four cases at Cheltenham, and then stopped, without affecting any other member of those two large populations ; or, lastly, as the number of deaths from cholera is now diminishing rapidly, are we to suppose, either that the supply of fungi to be swallowed with food, water, and air is dimnishing fast ; or that, if we continue to take in some hundreds of them, they are now become harmless in their nature, and will not produce cholera? In conclusion, does not Dr. Budd perceive that he no more explains the cause of cholera, by giving existence to an actual entozotic being, than those writers explain it who talk of a zymotic, atmospheric, or a telluric poison, his own being a fungoid poison ? What causes this latter poison ? for that will be the real cause of the disease. Dr. Budd declares that he has examined the air and the water of non-infected places, but never could dis cover objects of ,the same kind (meaning the fungi) which he invariably found in the air and in every species of drinking-water obtained from cholera dis tricts. But the water of those districts, and that air, were not infected with cholera in January last. There could not have been in either, therefore, any fungi in existence at that time. What caused them to be pre sent at a particular time since ? In a word, what brought the cholera in those districts in March and six following . months? And so we go on reasoning always in a circle on this question, which, after all, is a question referable to every other malady besides cholera. I humbly submit, that the acceptation by the medical world, or the public generally of the doc trines contained in the six conclusions adopted hastily, and without sufficient facts to sustain them, by the writer of the letter on which I have commented, is calculated to= operate much mischief in many ways, but especially by leading practitioners from the right investigation of the disease, which, in its most formi dable type, presents symptoms requiring a very dif ferent practice indeed from that which would be necessary did the disorder consist only in the irrita tion of the mucous membrane of the alimentary canal produced by the presence of almost invisible parasitic bodies. • This it is that has induced me to trouble you with he present letter.—l remain, yours respectfully, A.

M., however, understands the business of national defence even better than people generally suppose. For several .months the British forces, under the generalship of the Noble Duke, have sustained, comparatively to the rest of the popula- , tion, without loss, the attacks of the common enemy — the prevailing epidemic. The Times has informed U 3 how, on the approach of the invader, F. M. promptly issued orders to the commanding officers of the House hold Troops, and the various garrisons, to set their bar racks, outhouses, stables, and quarters in general, in order. The consequence is, that the army was never in better condition. It is much to Be wished that F. M., in addition to his various other offices, was made President of Sewers, Inspector of Nuisances, Dictator to Parishes, and Commander-in-Chief—with full military authority— of the Board of Health. St. Saviour's, and similar dis tricts, would speedily become salubrious under martial law, dispensed by the Duke: and vestrymen and guar dians be forced to do their duty ag ainst a foe that is as little to bo tri fl ed with as F.

It was entitled Arcana Oelestia quce in Scriptura, arc., and, besides containing a recondite analysis of Genesis, of Exodus, and of the other divisions of the Holy Book, with reference to its " inner meaning," recounted how the writer had been 'rapt up into the celestial regions, how his spiritual senses had been opened, how he had, conversed with angels and with the souls of men beatified, and how he had been commissioned by Om nipotence to reveal to the inhabitants of this world the mysteries of the hereafter, the immortality of human life, and the characteristics of Ileaven. Numerous volumes had already issued from the pen of this man, relating to the abstract and physical sciences. He had contributed many golden truths to the treasury of earthly knowledge. He had la boured with distinguished ability and with great practical success as a Metallurgist. He had by many novel and brilliant experiments originated that science of Chrystallography which was subsequently deve loped by our own illustrious Wollaston. His feli citous conjectures may be said to have been the first startling predications of the geological researches of Lyell, Buckland, and Murchison. He preceded La Place in the supposition that some of the feeblest burrs of light visible in the heavens might be resolved into congeries of stars, and in that other supposition which ultimately ripened into what is known as the Nebular hypothesis. His theories as to the existence of a magnetic element were the natural antecedents of the facts evolved by the profound investigations of Mi chael Faraday. His Prodromus Trincipiarion was the precursor of a new epoch in chemistry. His Principia Rerum Naturalum was a splendid sequence to the effusions of the genius of Leibnitz and Descartes. He penned tracts on the "depreciation of the cur rency," which would not ,be beneath the notice of Jones Loyd or of John Taylor. He profferred hints as to the warming and ventilation of rooms (in his Nova Regulce and his Nova Observata), such as might be profitably perused by Dr. Reid. He con-. ceived and explained new plans for the construction of docks on a scale commensurate with Great 'Grimsby and Birkenhead. He concentrated upon one gigantic effort of the intellect—the (Economia • Regni Animalis—all the data derivable from the study of anatomy, metaphysics, and philosophy. In this remarkable production, as well as in his Dissertationes duce de Fibra e t SuccoNervoso; De Febre, intermit tente, he endeavoured to penetrate those abysses of marvel which have been,. since sounded by the mind of Liebig. And in a remarkable treatise on the Worship and Love of God, Dc Cul& et Amore Dei, he so often forestalled the productions of Schelling, of Schubert, and of Eschermeyer,.that Coleridge acknowledges so much in his " Literary Remains" (vol. iv., p. 424), declaring that this book alone would be sufficient to mark its author as " a man of philosophic genius, radicative and evolvent." No wonder therefore that when a person, gifted with such indisputable intelligence and sagacity, suddenly proclaimed through the medium of his Arcane that he held communion with angelic forms and with the spirits of the departed, no wonder that when he spoke thus the whole world was stricken as with a thunder bolt of amazement. The effect of declarations so extraordinary was very soon perceptible. Some re garded him as an Imposter and others as a Prophet ; some as a Madman, others as Inspired ; some as a deranged visionary, others as a being ordained to follow a course parallel with the course pursued by Moses and by John the Baptist. The consequence of this exaggerated contrariety of opinion was, that he experienced a continual oscillation between the extremes of patronage and persecution. Looking back through the tranquillizing influence of a century, unagitated by the passions raging at the period of this man's appearance, we may now form some reasonable estimate of his position and of his character —considering both as among the many marvellous ) phases of humanity. Reviewing his life, therefore, ) in this impartial and unimpassioned mood, it is im possible for us to arrive at any other conclusion than that, in-his intellect reason and imagination (both, in his instance, of a colossal magnitude) struggled for the mastery, and that his reason at first predominant ) was ultimately conquered by his superb and domi neering imagination. Reason was predominant ) during his career as a philosopher; imagination ) during his career as a dreamer. It is impossible, moreover, not to feel equally satisfied from the ) sincerity, the earnestness, and the purity of this remarkable man's existence, that he himself reposed an implicit credence in the actuality of the magnifi- O cent hallucinations of his fancy. He was a Poet, 1 believing in the vitality of his creations. He was a 1 Pygmalion—thinking statues and willing tbem, not f. into a fleshly lite, but into a spiritual int mortality. Such to our mind was Emanuel g Swedenborg a matchless dreamer. and a O Mr. Rich, has 0 I scarcely two hundred pages an epitome of the life 1 and a sketch of the writings of Swedenborg ; and, like 9, all biographers, he has become infected with what O Macaulay terms so felicitously the lees biogrOphica, 2 the disease of adoration. In striving to impart to the mind of the reader, within a very brief compass, 0 some knowledge of the nature of the opinions expressed O and the principles propounded by Swedenborg, he O has rendered the book rather a synopsis of S%\ eden -1 berg's productions than a detailed narrative of his O career. We would rather for our own part, fur ex- O ample, have found a less laborious syllabus of the 1 Arcana Ccelestia, and a little more Boswellism, a O little more of the particulars of the man's life, of his O pr iva te habits, of his domestic incidents. What is 0 given, however, is given truthfully and sen t O tentiously. So far we must in justice o ffer our meed 0 of commendation. From the birth of Emanuel o Swedenborg at Stockholm, on the 29th of January, 1 1688, down to his death in London, in the 85th year O of his age, on the 29th of March, 1772, every one of O his peregrinations over Europe are mentioned—his 1 journeys to England, to Holland, to France, to 1 Saxony, to Austria, to Hungary, and throughout the 1 Italian peninsula. As the son of the Bishop of oSkara, Westrogothia, and of that Prelate's first wife, Sarah Behm, Emanuel Swedenborg was from his earliest childhood bred up in a reverence for religion ; O and throughout the whole of his career the purity of 2 his conduct attested his reverence for the moral i dogmas of Christianity. Great in reason, as is shown by 0 his philosophical works, he became yet more extraordi -2 nary in imagination, as is shown in his theological O writings—both of them singularly voluminous. Mr. 2 Elihu Rich has given a rapid epitome of the character ( 0 , and tendency of each ; and by so doing has filled up a u, hiatus in popular literature. A DREAM. How long have I been slumbering ? Oh! give me quick my lyre. For I would sing a glorious thing, That sets set my soul on fire. I've bad a dream, and such a dream Ne'er hung above a soldier's sleep; Yet ending in as sad a theme, As ever made the waker weep. * * 0# "., A hero sprung,,to sudden life," Like to a Biro-God— Bearing, as if from recent strife; A broken chain and rod. A shout rose to the sky ! And bells were rung, and banners waved It was a nation, long enslaved, Waking to liberty. He stood upon the Danube's banks, And there his flag unfurled ; And round him formed in glittering ranks The warriors of the world. Mazer and Heaved came : The Czecish lance, the Polish spear Borne side by side, like brothers dear— ,. In freedom's cause the same The hero spoke—the thunders woke On every hill and plain ; The Austrian despot's ranks he broke— Ten thousand slaves were slain ! On thrOugh the sulphury cloud, The Magyar swept with charging cheer, Till rose before him, high and near, Vienna's spires so proud! Oh ! 'twas a gracious lesson then To look at Europe's Kings. The world might see they were but men— But little human things. Each cowering by his throne, And shivering with a mortal fear, Thinking that promis'd time was here When men shall have their own. 'The tyrants gathered all their strength For one convulsive throe; 't And backward battling came at length, To meet withblow fur blow. Oh! how I watch'd the strife, With burning spirit from afar, And yearn'd I with the brave Magyar, To take or yield a life. Ah 1 sweet were death, sweet—O'er my dream A shadow lowering, hid heaven from view ; and it did seem A foul and blackened thing. Treason ! I know thee well. The cause of freedom was undone— T hough Dot in battle lost and won— And Ludwig Kossuth fell 1 Thou hest not fallen ' • in thy fall The world will still applaud Thy deeds ; and future freemen all Deem thee a demigod ! Oh ! I would rather bend my knee, And kiss the garment hem of thee, Than wrap me in a purple robe— The monarch of the globe. London, Sqt, 26, 1849.
