Jesus--:that shrewd, subtle, weII= ULLI Longman, m E a . it , which f or upwards of two hundred 3 influence felt in every quarter of tilt 7g.eaanrmsadoe Society..e'iettsy 't ;lobe—was fouudej, as every One knows, towards tin middle Of the sixteenth century, by Ignatius Loyola, .1 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." ..tobertson, iu "Charles the Fifth," has given a sketch ,f this illustrious man, but his sketch is a .;neagre and flimsy one, unworthy alike of himself Ind his subject. lie seems to have regarded Loyola is little better than a 'fanatic-; but he was more— much more thin this, being distinguished not less by xis clear good sense, and . .profound sagacity, than by the grandeur and sublimi:ty.of .liS desigm.' c luence he exercised Over the m i n d s o f hi s followers' is almost withont 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 :he lest faculties of those who regarded him as a pro phet, as did the founder of the Order ef-4e5.. , . Fore most among the associates of this renarkfible 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" .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 Moluoias, the enthusiastic' Jesuit took leis 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 th 6 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 powerf4l. 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 ,natins Loyola and Luther—the two most remarkable personages who flourished in the sixteenth century : Luther took to wife a nun. ..oor thirty years together Loyola never once looked on the female 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 state of the finances ; and with this the Cardinal had certainly nothing to do, -for he lel't 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 -paiV,. though we protest against his hypo thesis that " as long as they kept awe from the multitude, they were safe and respecterl 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 other mob Clubs of the day. Their party journals were those in most ,:request mons the , people. Their chiefs—Petioii, in parti cular—were the idolS of the iie"ol3l6. Xll fhlt ft - Ley 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 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 Coryphmus. 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. Ile 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- spiracles gathered rapidly round him. Men, insigni ficant while Banton 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 broad-shouldered Methodist, whose mother keeps the village school. Haying duly digested this disappoint ment, Peregrine transfers his affections to a wealthy • widow at Brighton ;- and goes billing and cooing with her along the shingles, and across the downs, with ex ceeding unction, till one day be finds in the person of a newly-arrived governess to - the widow's daughter, an old flame whom he had seduced and deserted some two or three years before. - The gOverness, of course, faints at the sight of the odious monster, and thus the litt!e affair gets wind, and the unlucky Peregrine is politely requested by the widow to snake himself scarce. His next attempt is on the affections of 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 time he tries - his luck in the matrimonial lottery, but, as before, he is wholly unsuccessful ; ax 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 win the hand of a pious lady, the widow of a colonel in the army. But, alas, he is no sooner married to this ex -emplary dane, than he discovers, while spending 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 debts it 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, schething 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 be extended to the sketch of-Mr. Hobberton 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. FRANCE DAGUERREOTYPED. Saunders and Utley, London, 1842. While we protest against . much of the spirit that pervades this volume, we cannot but acknowledge that it is written in a nervous and forcible manner ; that the author wields the pen of an able but most trucu lent satirist ; and that, to all appearance, he is perfectly sincere in his contempt and hatred for " Young France." Such desperate, unremitting abuse as he pours forth on the head of this effervescing nation ! And, as if he• Were not satisfied with expressing his scorn of it in good, round, set phrase, he has recourse to 'the pictorial art to add to the effect of his invectives ! Thiers, of course, comes in for no small portion of his' abuse. He describes him as a shrewd, conceited, tricky, unprincipled adventurer; and then sets to work at his face, which he caricatures in so whimsical a manner, still preserving a certain resemblance, that it is impossible to see it without bursting into outra geous laughter. As regards the war mania, which M. Thiers was so successful in inflaming a year or two since, our author seems to think—and on this I -point we join issue with him—that it was a miracle that peace was preserved at that period; and adds that the serpent is scotched, not killed. "Its crest will again be erected, hissing for war I A struggle for pre-eminence between prance and England, I believe to be almost inevitable.; and the lightest straw that ever was blown by the winds of heaven may afford a solid pretext. She will probably shun us at sea ; the struggle will be • chiefly by land, and the bayonet, not the shell, wilrdecide. The omnipotent press of France can soon raise Thiers again to power. Louis Philippe will not—dare not resist; for braVe as he is, he has not an utter contempt for life. Nay, more, I believe him to be, after all, no very strenuous opponent of the military views entertained by all other Frenchmen." Notwithstanding this very decided ex pression of opinion, we still believe that there is quite enough of good sense in France to neutralize the ina centliary efforts of the war faction, which—were it ever, with M. Thiers at its head, to get the aseen ditiley—would most probably be the means of subject ing the capital to another unceremonious visit from the Allied Powers, and not improbably occasion the country to be dismembered by indignant coalesced Europe. the women ! A strange subject for female enthusiasm ! 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 ; resistin ,, 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. ,In proportion as he lost in vigour of 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 sj 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 Nuina— that even the finest passages shock the moral taste too much to win justice from the intellectual. Robespierre vindicating, in tho 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 words and the thoughts had nothing'te 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 imam that obtained mo mentary applause. Yes! he would speak, he would de nounce, he would prove, he would trust his cause to his eloquence! lle thought of words at the moment when nothing could have savethhim 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. they 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 blesseceness. As best became his Teutonic ASTOLFO. Purkess, London, .1842. l'here is some power of fancy exhibited in this lramatie romance," as the author calls it, but it is mixed up with much that is mystical, and even un intelligible ; and the diction is at times so grotesque, substantives being made to do duty as verbs, and verbs to officiate as adjectives, that it is next to im possible to peruse it with a grave face. The poem is of the " Manfred" school, and opens with a monologue, wherein AstolfO, the speaker, invokes the spirits of the dead, who accordingly—as in the case of Robert the Devil—rise thickly about him from their resting places in an old monastery, of which he is the lord abbot. In consequence of his thus tampering with the black art, and communing at midnight in his cell, and among the mountains, with wizard forms, not of earth, he is denounced by two of his monks, and thrown into the dungeons of the Inquisition, and where he soon afterwards swallows poison, infinitely to the annoyance of the demon Thorosmades, who had visited him in disguise in his cell, and vainly en deavoured to prevail on him to sell his soul to the Prince of the Powers of Darkness. There is little that is original in this conception, nor indeed can we con gratulate the author on the skill with which he has worked out his design ; he has numerous passages that " lead to nothing;" spectres that come and go, apparently without a why or a wherefore ; and abrupt and purposeless dialogues, in which the vague mys ticism of Shelley is curiously blended with the gloom and feverish restlessness of Byron. We do not deny that, here and there, the poem contains some striking passages, chiefly of the descriptive sort ; but its general tone is far from healthy ; there is a constant, visible straining, too, after eflivt, and a harshness and dissonance in the blank verse that are at times quite offensive. 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 " re joichur in gladness and thankfulness of heart for all his abundance ;" loving and beloved ; communing with the wife of his bosom, prattling with his children ; sur rentleiing 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 :us 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 iu fidlihle, 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 he might k-come the benefactor of his race, or a legislator exact in!,, though with no selfish purposes, an obedience as submissive and as pr om p t 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."

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." 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 moat 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 ?lace 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 bee nue 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 endUted in youth'! .`" `lasso Ind 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 remarks. Disgusted with the state of things at home,. and the prospect . of. their,continuance, we firmly. believe tha t 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 be sure to be dragged into the struggle ? CASTLES AND ABBEYS OF ENGLAND, Part V. Mortimer. London, 1842. Dr. Beattie, the editor of this amusing work, con tinues to discharge the duty of superintendence with considerable tact and diligence; and in the present Part, enters into curious circumstantial details respect ing the fine old Abbey of Tewkesbury, which was long celebrated for its magnificence and the wealthy en dowment, attached to it, and was one of the earliest sacred edifices erected in England, its foundation dating from the first fifteen years of the eighth cen tury. There is a clever engraving of the Abbey in the frontispiece, representing it throughout its entire extent ; and the letter-press descriptions of it are enlivened by frequent poetical quotations, chiefly, if we are not mistaken, from the works of Sir Walter Scott. .

On Saturday evening the spirited proprietor of dye Adelaide Gallery, gave the use of this institution for the Purpose of a concert in aid of the suffering population in the max ufacturing districts. The band which was considerably aug mented on this occasion was most efficient. Ihe Misses Coveney, with Madame Cestini, were the vocal performers. Miss Cove ney and Madame Cestini elicited much applause by their execution of the duet "As it fell upon a day." Master Sim mons, a juvenile performer on the violin, met with .much ap plause from the masterly manner in which he execueed some of the most difficult compositions for that most diffireik of.all instruments, the violin. Mr. Julian Adams was also much applauded in a tyrolian air of his own composition, as was Mr Louis Emanuel, in a divertimento, for the piano tor' t , corn. I , osed in honour of the birth of the Prince of Wales, and called the " Royal Fireside." At the conclusion of the entertainment, Mr. Josses, the proprietor, came forward and said; that perhaps many of the audience were not aware of the object'of that evening's enterta i nment. It was not usual to open the institution on a Saturday evening, and as many present were probably casual visitors, he would explain why it. had been opened on that evening. It was for the purpose of offering a small as T tance to the suffering pop u l a ti on i n t h e manufactur ing districts.—( Applause.) The institution would be open for the same object on the three tcllowing Saturdays. He held in his hand a report which he had r ece i ve d f rom the comm i ttee formed for the purpose o f d . isbursin g a f und placed at their disposal, for the benefit of the distressed poor. In Paisley the sum of 600/. per week was distributed. Now Paisley consisted of a population of 48,416, and of this number 2.588 were out of employ. These men were all able and wil ling to work. Before they were all Ted to receise a single farthing of the 600/. they were submitted to the labour test. They were asked if they would work, and if they said they , would, they were placed on the highways, and that was con sidered a sufficient test. Of these 2,588 there was nu less a number than 4,319 depending for support, so that 6001. would go but a very little way towards their relief. The distress was not confined to Paisley alone. In Lanceshire there was equal distress, as there were at present 20,000 persons out of employ ment, with 40,000 individuals depending on them for sup, d irt. Every one ought to strive to ameliorate the suffering and distress consequent on an extensive population being out of work. He wouldread -an extract' from a letter inserted in the Morning Chronicle, dated June 22, and written by Dr. Taylor. W e said, " On reaching Caine, 1 went to the Market-place, ;and addressed myself to the most intelligent looking of the many idle operatives by whom it was crowded. I asked him to guide ,me to the streets where the unemplqyed work-people resided that I might see with my own eyes the etrielition to which they had been reduced. As I had never been i this part of the country before, it was impossible for me to se'ect specimens, and I took care that my guide should not, for, though he led to the streets, I took the houses at. random. In all I visited eighty-three dwelling selected at hazard—they were desti tute of furniture, save old boxes for tables and stoats, or even large stones for chairs. The beds were composed of straw and shaving, sometimes without any kind of covering what.. ever. The food was oatmeal and water for breakfast, flour and water, with a little skim-milk for dinner, and meal and water for a third supply. With those whri went through the form of eating three meals a-day. I wes informed that, in fifteen families, their children went with out ' blue milk,' or milk from which the cream had been taken on alternate days. I was an eye witness.t o children appeasing the cravings of the stomach by the refuse of decayed vegeta bles in the root market. I saw a woman, in the very last stage of attenuation, suckling an infant which could scarcely draw a single drop of nutriment from her exhausted breast. I inquired the child's age? 15 months. Why was it not weaned? An other month would be added to the number of those for whom the present supply of oatmeal was in ufficient." When they i reflected on these facts, he was sure that there was no ntaividual that heard him but would feel a desire to alleviate that suffering and distress as much as they possibly could. —( Hear, hear.) With this object, lie had opened the Institution that day, and although the sum collected on that occasion would be but small, still he trusted that, if they approved the plan, that they would second his efforts, and make it known to their indivilual friends and connections, and, he hoped, at the end of three weeks to be able to place at the dis.- posal of the Committee, a sum worthy of their acceptance. Thank , ing them for their attendance that evening, and hoping to see a more numerous one next Saturday, he respectfully wished them farewell.—(Cheers.) MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

TO TILE EDITOR OF THE SIIN. the article in your Paper of this evening. headed Mr. Hume and the Flag-officers of the Nary, I observe the writer has fallen into a mistake in deducting eight years for the service of flag-officers as midship men, for, by a reference to the Report on Nav a l an d Military Promotions, from . which the extract is taken, it appears that the Commissiopers, in page 815, state that a deduction of eight years is td-be made from the Return of the service - of captains, commanders, and lieutenants, only to ascertain the actual -s'er vice to their country as commissioned officers. For example, in the class of captains (Return No. 4, p. 316), it is stated that the total service of one captain (the first on the list), was sixty-nine years and upwards; and of that period, from thirteen to fourteen years only of that time had been passed 'on full pay or afloat; if eight years for service as midshipman, as stated by the Commission, be deducted from the thirteen or fourteen year of his actual service, the result is, that that officer served only -five or six , years •in com mission, and has been fifty-five years on. half-pay- ; . and by a reference to page 317, it further • appears ; at the said officer had .not been employed fo r fifty-five years.; eonSequently; Ile had received fifty-fiVe years of pension for five years 'service as an officer. But as the Commissioners have, in the Retnrn of Flag-officers, adopted a different course (as per Table No. G, p. 322), and stated in the Return only the time actually passed in commission, the time opposite the name of Drum mond, of nine years, 11 months, one week and two days, is in reality the period he served as a commissioned officer; consequently, he enjoyed the 'half-pay for twenty-eight years for that short period of service ;Aind Sir L. Curtis, Bart., promoted to be Rear-Admiral, qn. June 28, 1838, was made Lieutenant on April 21, 1801, and has cense qaently been forty-one years in pay, of which seven years, Live months, two weeks, and two-days only, have been in commission, and thirty-four years on half-m, he not having been employed since June 11, 1814. This, I admit, does not weaken much the statement made by you, and although in the whole list of captains, com- • minders, and lieutenants, the average service is not annexed to the same Report ; it will be found that while the average period of their being on the list of the navy is thirty years, four years only is the average service on commission, and the average of service of the admi rals may oe taken at about sixteen years, and the ave rage period in the half-pay list is twenty-nine years. I remain, your obedient servant, London, July 9. AN INJURED OFFICER. TIER AI A JE ETY'S TUFA TRE.—A7MCZBOiena was revived at her Majesty's Theatre on Saturday night, the chief novelty in the revival being Mad. Frezzolini in the part of Anna. The 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 hadprevionsly appeared in being all subordinate, with the exception of Lucrezea 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 of this country. It is but ju.tice to state that the part of Gisvani Seymour was ably and artistically performed by Madame Ronconi, notwithstanding . great apparent illness and evident exhaustion ; and that Rubins and Lablache in their respective parts won the highest applause from the audience.

TIIE RE-LAYING OF THE ROADWAY IN FLEET sTREET.—The authorities have hit upon the notable plan o 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 tort 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 Ilden 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 thoroughfare has been that the vehicles proceeding in that direction, 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 Fleet-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-srreet 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 that will' now be ciin surneddirthe 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 respects the relaying itselt, it does not ap pear to be dunein a very lasting manner.

Bentley, London, 1842. This novel was, we believe, Theodore Hook's last literary undertaking, and . from the manner in which he has treated the subject, it is easy to see that it was one after his own heart. The hero, Peregrine Bunce, is a smart, bustling, self-assured young fortune-hunter, who, though in possession of competence, is haunted by a desire to become the husband of a wealthy wife. Accordingly, he makes love to a pretty, serious .country girl ;- but just as he fancies he has made something like an impression on her gentle heart, he is roused from his dream of bliss by discovering that the unsophisticatiad creature has levanted with a may, THOUGHTS ON THE SENSIBILITY OF THE IMAGINATION. Simpkin, London, 1842. The first section of this essay—which, by the way, is much the best portion of it—is devoted to a con sideration of some remarks made by Mr. Moore, in his Memoirs of Lord Byron, respecting the sensibi lities of the imagination as distinguished from those of the heart. The, author observes that it is questionable whether such a distinction be rightly drawn, adding, "instead of thus conceiving a fictitious and "a real sensibility, both of which are real to those under their influence, we would rather say, that they who are most sensitive to pleasure, are of necessity most sen sitive to pain." The author then goes on to,illustrate his position by reference to certain peculiarities in the characters of Petrarch, Sterne, and Lord Byron, and evinces no slight acumen in the manner in which he handles this branch of his subject. His essay, re garded as a whole, is an ingenious one, though he sometimes ventures a little beyond his depth.
