H e shit the great error committed by the Privy Council, -7 with respect to the schools a►t Greenwich, was intr rducirg new masters, and allowing the old ones to remain. Arrange nr nts were now in progress to appoint two new masters, the eff'•ct of Which, it_ was' hoped, ..could be to restore that unanimity among the masters which he ,Was sorry to say bad not prevailed latterly. The Admiralty. proposed to have. a regular annual inspection, and that a Report should be laid every, year on the table of the House. But they did not vvish that the appointment of the inspectors k ahould be left to the Committee of the Privy COuncil of Education, as they did not think it advisable that, the school should become a civil' instead of a.naval establishment. Sir C. NAPIER did ,not approve of the present practice of allowing the sons of merchant seamen to share in the advan tages of Greenwich school. It seemed to him to be but fair that al t'oys brought up at the school shoat be required to serve her Majesty as a return for the, ex; enses of the education they had recei ed.. He thougt.t it, was a great improvement that the boys at the school were now taught the. art of rowing, and that they were nut as formerly left without any instruction which would qualify them fur the profes s ion, for which they were destined. He saw no objection to leavinz the super intendence of the schced to the Committee on Elation. He believed that the Members of the Cornvnittee were the parties who, from the nature of their effice, would be best qualified to und,rtake the - . superintendence of any establishment for the education of youth. Alr. PARKER thought it was more satisfactory that the Report should be made to the Admiralty, than to the Privy Council. Mr. TUFNELL wanted to know how many inspections there should be ? 31r. S. HERBERT said that there would be freqUent in spections, and but one Report. After a few w 4 rds from Mr. CHILDKRS and Mr. NYSE, Sir R. PEEL said that he thought the House should bear in mind that it was desirable not to break altogether the con oexion of the schools with the Admiralty. At the same time, it was most desirable that that connexion should not interfere with the proper inspection of the system of education pursued in the schools. There were two schools ; anti in one of them the education was very ana logous to that adopted by the schools under the control of the Privy Council. It was proposed to allow the schools to be under the inspection of the inspectors appointed by the Privy Council ; and by permitting those inspectors to act immediately under the Board of Admiralty, there would be no ground for jealousy on the part of the Board of Admiralty. All that was desired was to obtain as much advantage as possible from the schools. Mr. COWPER replied, and (as we understood) expressed his desire to withdraw his motion. • DONEGAL GRAND JURY. The motion was then by leave withdrawn. Viscount CLEMENTS then rose, pursuant to notice, to move for a Select Committee to inquire into the administra tion of the Grand Jwy laws in the county of Donegal. The Noble Lord proceeded to complain of the violation of the Grand Jury laws generally—not so much oa the part of the Grand Jury as on the part of the officers appointed by them, and then entered into a statement of the mode in which the business of the county was transacted by the Grand Jury. He did not blame the Hon. and Gallant Member opposite (Colonel Conolly) for the malpractices which had taken place, blt he ought to have taken care that they were not committed. He had also to complain of the inaccurate manner in which the accounts were kept. He wished to know what her Majesty's Government was inclinkl to do in this matter. He should prefer a commis=ion to inquire into the abuses which had taken place, for the frauds which had ,occurred were only to he equalled by the EXchequer•bill fraud.—( Roars of laughter.) He should there fore move for a Sekct Committee to inquire into the adminis tration of the Grand .lury laws in the county of 'Donegal. Mr. M. J. O'CON NELL seconded the motion. Colonel CONOLLY said the Noble Lord had indulvd in the most daring and singular representations he had ever heard in that House. The Noble Lord bad acted under' the most perfect ignorance of those acts which he had so unsparingly denounced. lie (Col. Conolty) had been connected with the Grand Jury of Donegal for many years, and he knew the sub ject well. The Hon. and Gallant Member then pro:eeded to deny that he had at any time improperly exercised his influence among the Grand Jurors of Donegal. lie felt indignant at any attempt to cast censnre• on the conduct (lithe Grand Jury as a body, for which, after long ext erienee, he felt the highest respect. He regretted very much that the Noble Lord should indulge in reprobating acts of which he could know but very little. Sir E. HAY ES slid, that after the statement of his Hon. and Gallant Colleague, it was not necessary for him to do more that confirm that statement. Lord CLEM EN IS, in explanation, deni.td having attacked the Grand Jury. He guarded himself cautiously from doing so. Mr. LITTON said that he considered nine-tenths of the speech of the Noble Lord was made up of attacks upon the Grand Jury. He was in the habit of going for many years to Donegal in his professional capacity, and he could bear testi mony to the excellence of the character of the gentlemen com posing the Grand Jury of the county of Donegal.—(Hear.) He hoped the motion would be rejected by the House. Sir 'W. SOMER VILLE bore testimony to the honour and integrity of the gentlemen of the Grand Jury of Donegal ; at the same time it was manifest that gross irregularity had taken place • and if the motion were pressed to a divisi , n he should vote /or it, without at the same time meaning thereby to cast ,any imputation upon the Grand Jury. Lord ELIOT opposed the motion. He thought that a sa tisfactory answer had been given to the charges of the Noble Lord. Gross irregularity had been scommitted by some of the officers, but these officers had been punished by the Grand Jury. Mr. F. SHAW thought that the Noble Lord was not justi fied in the charges which he had brought forward. Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL thought that it was a serious case, and required investigation. The Government ought to send a person over to the spot, to investigate into the circumstances. He thought the Noble Lord had better withdraw his motion ; but if it were pressed to a division, he should vote for it. Mr. Sergeant JACKSON thought no ground had been made out for inquiry, and he trusted the House would negative the motion. Sir R. FERGUSSON thought it would be impossible to Conduct any inquiry, except on the spot. He should oppose the motion. Mr. BROTHERTON moved that the House do adjourn, but subsequently withdrew his motion. Lord CLEMENTS replied—lf the Government resisted that motion, he should not let the subject rest. there. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, but no division took place, the motion being negatived without a division. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL fin- Ireland obtained leave to bring in a Bill for consolidating the Four Courts Marshalsca, Dub:in, Sheriffs' Pri•on, Dublin, and City Marshalsea, Dublin, and for regulating the Four Courts Marshalsea in Ireland. Lord STANLEY gave notice that he shOuld move, on Monday 'next, that the House resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House, to take into consideration certain resolutions relative to Australia. ' Mr. 1- E' ARAND moved—That there be immediately laid on the table of this Howe, a copy of the Report addressed to the Poor-law Commissioners, and unanimously agreed to at an extraordinary meeting of the Board of Guardians of the Keighley union, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, on Monday last, the .27th inst., and which was convened for the purpose of taking into consideration, and replying' to certain allegations made against the said board in the Reports of the Assistant Poor-law Commissioners, Mr. Mott and Sir John Wahlu,m, and which Reports have already been printed by order of this Hou.e.—Ordered. _ _ . The other Oreers of the Day were then disposed of and the Howe adjourned at a Quarter to Two o'Clock. PARLIAMENTARY DIVIS,IONS (From the Votes and Proceedmgp of the House of Commons.)

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 1, 1842. MAGAZINE DAY. L4CKTVQ.OD -7 S . 3'1,4 GA .2',/;,:\W. , . . . The tile and Thne's of Cicero—a tempting theme for a scholar—forms the subject-of _the , ' first article in this Number. From certain peculiarities of thought; as well as from • the . ripe and ready scholarship it evinces, we feel disposed to attribute this eloquent and •, sagacious article to the pen of Mr. De Quincey, whose learning, instead ofoppressing, acts as a stimulus and a helpinaid to his fancy. We could have spared, how , ever, his sneers at Dr. Middleton's Life of the illus trious Roman orator, which is unquestionably the hest we possess, notwithstanding its strong,.deter mintd bias in favour even of the weaknesses of Cicero. Mr. De Quincey will not easily induce his readers to concede to him that Dr. Middleton was but an inferior scholar, for his brief bid masterly criticisms on the au thors who immediately `succeeded Tully, and his stric tures on their several styleS, which occur-=if we remem ber rightly—in one of the closing chapters of his wOrk, establish, beyond all possibility of cavil, his claims to sound scholarship, so far at least as Latin literature is concerned. The writer's remark that Cicero's " whole life had been adapted to purposes of ostentation" is true to the letter. Never was there a public man more greedy of popular applause; of more inordinate self-conceit, which was second only to his thirst for personal aggrandisement; .or more showy and theatri cal in his. tastes. He never allowed his mind to be seen in its deshabille, Even in his most familiar let ters to his most intimate friends one May constantly detect his love of studied effects. In fact he was magnificent egotist, and in his vanity and ambition — the two.. master _passions that swayed him through life—reminds us of Lord Chatham. The "Royal Academy" is . a judicious notice of some of the prin cipal -paintings in the recent Exhibition. We per fectly agree with the critic that Air. Maclise's Hamlet " is an ungentlemanly ruffian who never would have waited for the play, hut would have taken a pleasure in killing the King on mere suspicion." The charac ter, indeed, is much too exaggerated, and conveys not the slightest idea of the vacillating, thoughtful, melan choly Prince of Shakspeare, whose very outbreaks of emotion are of a comparatively subdued nature. The Hamlet of Mr. Maclise, unless our recollection decei've us, is all spasm and convulsion. "Caleb Stukely" shows considerable power of vigorous writing The sketch of the winter-day, in the opening passages of the present chapter, would have delighted Morland by its true, hOmely touches, so like one of his own-truthful bits of landscape painting. "Lines upon Letters" is au elegant poem by Mr - . Simmons, 'founded - on Dr. Johnson's quaint remark on his 'deathbed, " An odd thought strikes me ; we shall receive no letters in the grave." On this text the writer has penned an elo quent discourse. The " World of London" is occu ' pied, as usual, with some of the most remarkable ' peculiarities of the Modern Babylon. "Touches of genuine nature," says the author, : 4 are to be met with at a funeral. The artificial is thrown aside ; the mask we all wear in the business and pleasure of life falls off." This is sometimes the case, but not often. the generality of instances a London 'funeral is little better than a mere formal, routine cere where long faces are purposely cultivated for the occasjon, not from sentiment, but from a sense of conventional 7 propriety. Mourners, like mutes, are triste 'as a matter of business, and the heart has little to do with their show of . pathos. There are exceptions of course to this rule, but they are by . no means of frequent occurrence. " A Record of the Pyramids" is truculent criticism on Mr. Edmund Reade's'recently published pOem'of this name. ChriitOpher North here shoulders his crutch with infinite ,agility, and lets it drop . on the head of the unhappy bard with an em phasis sufficient, to occasion a compound fracture. "There is no probability," observes Christopher," that we ever should have thought again about the author, if in The Sun newspaper,. of May 9, we had not been attracted to him under the article of Literature, &c. A Record of the Pyramids.' We should have thought the criticism a severe one, had we not been induced to peruse the poem, the preface, and 'the notes. We then acknowledged the leniency of the reviewer in making no quotations from the' poetry" We cer tainly have some • right to pique ourselves on our " leniency" towards Mr. Reade, for, hi 5 ...." Record of the Pyramids.," with its pompous, methodical com mon-places, its gross anachronisms, halting versifica tion,. and desperate insubordination to the respectable authority of Priscian, offered a most tempting theme for ridicule, which we only restrained out of com passion to the author, who had somewhere spoken - of himself as a martyr -to ill-health. ." Passages in the Career of El 'Empecinado," the famous Spanish soldier of fortune, who distinguished himself so highly during the French invasion of the Peninsula, is full of romantic interest. .We quote a spirited account of this enterprising adventurer's hair-breadth escape from a Spanish prison The alcayde, or jailer, was lolling in a large well stuffeil arm-chair, and opposite to him was seated the lawyer appointed to conduct Diez's prosecution.- On a small table between them were placed glasses and a dusty cobweb-covered bottle, with the contents of which the two worthies were. solacing themselves, while they discussed the all•absorbing topic of the day, the trial of the Empecinado, and its probable, or rather certain ,re suit. Asglass afterglass was emptied of the - oily old Xerex wine, the lawyer rehearsed his speech, the jailer found guilty, and passed sentence, until, step by step, and be fore the bottle was out, the Empecinado had, in itnagina- don, and somewhat prematurely, been condemned, placed in capill t, confessed. and led out to execution. Just as •1 the lawyer was conjecturing how he would look with the rope rotund his neck, sonic one tapped at the dour. "Ade/toter cried the. jailer, and Cainhza made his appearance. " Saar Alcayde," said he, " the corregidor is at the prison gate, and desires to speak with you.". Putting on one side the bottle and glasses, the jailer hurried to, receive. the. Chief it. ' istrate of the town, but as he passed through the door behind which the Ern pecinado was coneealed, - the latter -made a sort of buck leap, with his fetters - upon his feet, and grappled him like a tiger, seized him by the hair with his left hand, and with his right, clutching his . throat so as nearly to , strangle him. At the same time Cambea threw hiinself upon the lawyer, whose 'head he ,muftled in his own cloak, and then, taking him up ill his arms, carried him bodily to the Empecinado!s - cell, and there locked him in. Then returning - to the assistance of Dez, they tied the jailer's • hands, and, putting a gag - in his mouth, placed him also in the dungeon. The next thing to be done was to rid the Empeemado of his nianitcles.• which was soon accomplished . by means of riveting tools fOund in the jailer's room., . But they had as, yet. oily surmounted a part of their difficulties. and much remained tO be denim before they could consider themselVes in safety, It -is true, they. had the keys,-and could unlock. the :door. and walk out of the prison, but the streets were swarming with French' soldiers, through. whom they would have to run the . gauntlet before - getting out of the town.. To do this with less chance of detection, they returned to-the dun-, geon, and, taking the clothes off its . present inmates, put, them on themselves. - Cambea, took poSsession of the lawyer's thiee-cornered hat, and Diez Of that of the al-• cayde, and then arranging their cloaks in such a manner as to conceal the greater part of their faces, they walked , out of the principal gate of the prison, carefully shuttaig it after them, and passed unsuspected through the French; soldiers on guard. Fortunately, as it - was the hour of high mass; all the town's-people were in the church, and the French took no notice of the • two fugitives as the); walked through the streets with grave and deliberate pace, studiously avoiding any appearance of haste, lest it might lead to detection: • In this manner they had nearly got out of the town; when they - perceived an orderly dragoon holding two horses, saddled and bridled, at the "door of a house, ap.• parently waiting for some, officer ()frank whO was about to take a ride. The Empecinado had found in a pocket of his burrowed garments a box, -full of that excessively pungent snuff,qalled in Spain the enearnado de los frages. Emptying the contents into his hand, he walked up to the soldier, and asked to be directed to the quarters of the General Commanding - . While the man was answer-; inr him , Diez- threw the snuff in his face and eyes, and, openinu; his cloaki•gave him a butfot that stretched hire; stunned and blinded, upon the ground. Then, seizing his drawn sword; he sprang•tipon •the officer's horse, and Camhea mounting that of the dragonn, they succeeded • in passing the toWn gate unchallenged. . They. had not been clear of' the town five minutes, when they heard trumpets.sounding.aud drums beating to arms, and soon the road in their rear was covered with light cavalry, in hot pursuit. But their horses were good, the start they had was .sufficient, and they speedily reached the mountains. Three days afterwards the.Ein pecinado had rejoined Mariano Fuentes, and was again ut the head of his band. JENTLE Y'S .MISCELLANY, We hope Mrs. Butler will be induced . to continue her narrative• of her travels in the United States, for the present portion, describing "A Winter's Journey to , Georgia; is exceedingly entertaining, and evince much' acuteness - .of observation, and minute' and lively power .of detail. According, to this lady's account, the art.of travelling. with comfort is yet in its infancy in Yankee-land. Speed. of locomotion is always to be ensured—cOmfort, seldom, if ever. Indeed, ! Jona . - than appears to have no notion of this luxury, so in- • dispensable to the happiness - -nay, to the very exist- • ewe of John Bull. He travels on execrable railroads, in carriages so - closely shut-up that the atmosphere is quite poisonous; rattles full speed across tumble-down bridges, which threaten every instant to give way, and precipitate his equally crazy vehicle into the deep waters-beneath, and dashes, helter-skelter, over half-formed roads,. strewed with logs, and agreeably diversified with standing pools, - and loose, quaking bogs. But what seems more particularly to have annoyed our "fair tra veller, .was.the .dirt and filth of some of the way-side inns at which she was compelled to put up. In pieplace, happening to want a towel, "I was obliged," s he tells us, "to wait on the stairs, and catch one of the dirty black girls who- were running to and fro, serving the breakfast room. Upon asking one of. these nymphs f or a towel, she held up to me a horrible cloth, which, but for the evidence -to the- contrary which their filthy presented, - I should have supposed had been u clean the floors. Upon my objecting to this, s sh lsl e refd fl ac o te 6 uncedaway, disgusted,lpresnme, with my fas tidiousness, and appeared no more." The breakfast, in its way,, as riot less original and- characteristic than the There were some eggs all t egrimed with smoke, and powdered with cinders ; some unbaked dough, cut. into. little lumps. by . ..way of bread, and a white hard substance calling itself butter, which had an infinitely nearer resemblance, to tallow. The mixture presented to : ns,by.way : of tea, was ab solutely undrinkable ; and . when. I begged for a glass of milk, they brought a tumbler Covered with dust and dirt, full of 'such sour stuff, that I was obliged to put it aside ; Encouraging. facts these, for an English gentlemen Nvho may happen to fancy,a tour Oirough the United States! V We subjoin Mrs. But ler's-narrative of her chande introduction.to a veteran American patriot, who had - fought with Washington in the fabious "struggle for - inthpendence : • It was now becoming twilight, and !he male members of our caravan held council round a pine fire, as to - what course had better be,aslopted for sheltering themselves and us, during the night, which we seemed destined to paSS in the woods. After some debatC, it was recollected that one Colonel —, a man of some standing in that neighbourhood, had a farm about a mile distant imme diately upon the line of the railroad, and thither it was determined we should all repair, and ask quarters for the night. Fortunately, an empty baggage-car, or rather a mere platform. upon wheels (for it was nothing more), stood at hand upon the iron road, and to this- the luggage, and the women and children of the party, were transferred. A number of negroes, who werc loitering about, were pressed into-the service, and pushedit along, and the gentlemen, walking, ' brought up the rear. I emit know that I ever in my life felt so completely desolate as during that half-hour's slow. progress. 'We sat . cowering among the trunks, my' faithful and I, each with a baby in our arms, sheltering ourselves and our poor little burdens from the bleak northern wind that whistled over us. The last embersof daylight were dying out in dusky red streaks a l ong the horizon, and the dreary waste around us looked like the very shaggy edge of all creation. The men who pushed us along encouraged each other with wild -shouts and yells, and every now and then their labour was one of no little danger, as well as difficulty --for the road crossed one or two deep ravines and . Morasses at a considerable height, and, as it was not completed, and nothing but the iron rails were laid across piles driven into these plaices, it became a ser vice of considerable risk to run along these narrow ledges, 'at the same time urging our car along. No accident happened, however, fortunately, and we pre sently beheld, with no- small satisfaction, a cluster of houses in the fields at some little distance from the road. To the principal one I made my way, followed by the rest Of the poor womankind,' and, entering the house without further ceremony, ushered them intesA large species of , wooden room, where blazed a huge .pine-wood are. By this welcome light we descried, sitting in the corner of the vast.ehimney, a.n :old. ruddy-faced man, with silver hair, and a good-humoured countenance, who, wel coming us with ready hospitality, announced himself as Colonel and invited us to draw near the fire. The worthy Colonel seemed in no way dismayed' at. this . sudden inbreak of distressed women, which was .very soon followed by the arrival of the gentlemen, to whotn he repeated the same courteous _reception he had given us, replying to. their rather hesitao - ig demands for something to cat, by ordering to the right and left a tribe of staring negroes, - -who • bustled about preparing supper;. under ithe -active superin tendence of the hospital Colonel. His residence (considering his rank) was quite the most primitive imaginable,--a rough brick-and-plank chamber of con siderable dimensions, not even whitewashed, and the great beams and rafters by which it was supported dis !playing the skeleton of the building, to the complete satisfaction of any one who might be curious n archi tecture. The windows could close neither at the top, 'bottom, sides, nor 'middle, and were,, besides, broken so as to admit several delightful currents of air, which .might be received as purely accidental. ' In one corner •of this primitive apartment stood an exceedingly clean looking bed, - with coarse furniture, whilst in the opposite one,' an old case-clock was ticking away its time and its master's, with cheerful monotony. •The rush-bottomed chairs were of as many different shapes and sizes, as those in modern fine lady's drawing-room, and the walls .were hiing all round %%WI a curious - miscellany, consist ing principally of physic phials, turkey-feather. fans, bunches of dried herbs, and the Colonel's arsenal, in the shape of one or two old guns, &c. According to the worthy man's hearty invitation, I proceeded to make myself and my companions at. home, pinning,•skewering, ' and otherwise suspending our cloaks and shawls across the various intentional - and unintentional air-gaps, thereby increasing both the comfort and the grotesque ness of the apartment in no small degree. The babies had boWls Of milk furnished them, and the elder portion of the caravan was regaled with a taste of the Colonel's home-made wine, pending the supper, to which he con tinued to entreat our stay. Meantime he entered into conversation . with my husband ; - and my veneration waxed deep, when the old man, unfolding his history, proclaimed himself one of the heroes of the revolution— a fellow-fighter with Washington. " Guy's Cliff Mill"-is a pleasing deSeriptive poem by Mr. Jones. " The Absent Manager" is an able, conversational record of the eccentricities of a provincial lessee by name Thornton, who, like the well-khoWn Mr. George Harvest, - once put on four shirts, one over the other, in pure absence of mind. This infirmity, by the bye, is by no means confined to nianagets' or 'authors; for there 'is' scarcely a West end tailor who has not at least . a dozen absent*. mindecl men of fashion .awng his debtors.

The " Thief of7Tinte" is a light, chatty essay on pro ' crastination. " The true procrastinator," says the author, "will never give you much trouble.

" COntributions to the Income-tax" should- either have been more liVely or more serious. At present, it is neither:one nor the other. In his "Phineas Quiddy," Mr. Poole sketches, with infinite caustic humour, the' character Of a mean, pettifogging attorney, whom he appropriately names Iscariot•llitchflat. In " Short Rides in an Author's Omnibus," occur these sensible remarks on courage : Personal courage in a powerf u l m a n scarce l y commands our admiration, nit only from its being so common, but because it may generally be displayed with safety ; but where it is unsupported by physical strength, _where it is the triumph of a gallant spirit over a feeble frame, the very danger that accompanies it's exertion enhances its merit, and increases the respect with Which we contemplate it."

The Victoria D. G. on the new coin would never lend heriloyal countenance to any such speculation. "Is it possible, in consideration o f the dearness of bread, that the Lilliputian currency has been invented for the purchase of such tiny little loaves as Gulliver used to devour by the dozen ?

There still'remains one use for then, and really it appears on plausible grounds to have, been the very use intended by the authors of the measure —namely, to be given away.

The author of the '`` Rape of the Lock" —the unrivalled master of the conventional and artifi cial 'in literature—should certainly never .have at tempted to edit the works of one who was in every respect his antipodes ; and late in life he felt this, and was exceedingly annoyed if any one ever made mention of his still-born edition of, Shak speare: .

" Hoirterid Ballads" are cleverly ren dered, as usual, by'Dr. Maginn. "Precious Minute!, or Past Half-H - Ours,'.! is an amusing paper,.and gives a tolerably graphic sketch of the state of Charles the Tenth'S Court, at the break'ng out of the Revolution in 1830. The writer, however, is wrong in saying that this royal bloCkhead and bigot was never "intimidated." His , dastardly conduct :in 1790, when he headed the flight of the Ii rench-Noblesse to Coblentz, and left his So vereign and hrother to shift for him Self, clearly proves that fear was .no. stranger to his breast. " Damned. Tragedies" explains the causes of the fitilures on the stage' 'of " Alartinuzzi" and " Plighted Troth." The writer hunts about him for their :causes, when he might find them without the slightest troub'e, for they lie under hi, .pose. The, truth is, the plays in question failed, because . .they were essen tially- undramatic. ' They .wanted . action, and, what was still more against them, ..they wanted probability. From' a Memoir of " Richard Brinsley Sheridan," we quote the following extract : There . .is a public-house in Tavistock-row, Covent.gar : den, called the -Queen's. Head,' which at that time was kept by. a widow lady familiarly called." Mother But ler," from the kindness of her manner and attention to her guests. The title of hostess in England sug vests the idea of good cheer, and good cheer is natur - ally, favourable to the growth of flesh. In the person of 'the hostess of. Tavistock-row,' a stranger might therefore expect to rind a stout, jolly woman, with red gills, and a loud, shrill, cracked voice. Oa the-sight of " Mother Butler," he 'would be disap pointed. She was a little, thin, quiet-locking, old woman. A fallen leaf, whirled about by the wind during a fortnight, or a strip of brown paper that had tie. the • same space of time opposed its entrance through a broken pane otklass in a window, may afford an idea of the .coiour of her complexion. In the long course of Sheridan's connection with Drury-lane theatre, commencing from . the death of Garrick, his business there tus a manager and a proprietor often detained him until a late lionr, and it was not necessary that he should be a:very thirsty soul to require some refreshment on such occasions. Chance brought him to " Mother But ler's,".and he'iiked the accommodation so well that he became a visitor. In process of time the house became, under the auspices. of Sheridan, a revival of the Boar's head in 'Easteheap, in the youthful and frolic some days'. of Henry V., when Prince 'of Wales.

Here were to be seen the Earl of Barrymore, a big, burly, good-humoured-looking man; Major .George Hanger, looking quite the reverse, with his dark visage in perfect sympathy with the article in which he sub sequently became a dealer.: There was also Sir John Ladd, " the observed of, all observers," the Jehu of his day. unrivalled in handling the ribands with four-in-hand , in Hyde-park,_ and there cutting a. figure of eight with all the precision with which his visitor surprised Archi merles in- the cypher-cut• with piece'of chalk on a slate, in the absence of that celebrated mathematician and ma chinist.. Colonel M‘Mahon, too, the Secretary of the Prince, could 'not' refrain from following the example; but his visits were few and far between, and he seemeu to 'cautiously avoid ObservatiOn. Other " Corinthians and lads of metal" now flocked to " Mother Butler's." In crease of custom brought with it increase of profit, and for this the hostess felt indebted to Sheridan. The latter was no braggart,'but he had the rich, racy humour of FuLtulf ; all his love and talent for his joke and jest, and the same. devotion to A glass of good wine which the fat 'knight paid to his "cup of sack." He had also his Nytn, his Bardolph, and other 'followers In his train; to whom might - be added, during_ his contest for Westminster, his Mouldy, his Bullca(f, his Feeble, and. his Shadow. These latter, not indeed as recruits on their march into York shire to meet the rebels, but dry and hungry electors on their way to tho• hustings to vote for Mr. Sheridan, AINSWORTH'S 3IAGAZINE. A writer who signs himself " Uncle Sam," and who seems thoroughly to understand the habits and peculiarities of Brother Jonathan, contributes an amusing paper in this 'Nunlber, under the title of " An Aristocratic Dinner-party in New . York." The dialogue of the different guests is highly comic, being a strange medley of self-conceit, . national prejudice, and the most prolix, matter-of-fact assertions, ex pressed in a style half-English, half-Yankee slang. Though somewhat overcharged, perhaps;- yet there is an air of reality about - this dialogue, that at once conveys the idea that it is no mere ,effort of a humor ous ' fancy, but based on truth. Cooper, in his " Eve Effingham," has. described a somewhat similar party, and set his aristocratic New Yorkers slang-whanging —to use an appropriate Jonathanism—in a very similar Spirit. ' Me " Miser's Daughter"-'--which, if not the best, 13 one of the author's best fictions—has • a lively description of a, supper-Party at a popular aetress,'s; where a battered old beau, Sir Singleton Spinke acquits himself just in the manner that might lie expected . from his years and occupation. The illus trations, by George Cruikshank, are in his most care ful, and dexterous „style, with less. mannerism than usual. The Siege of Radicofaui" is a whimsical poem, penned in that light, tripping, irregular metre, chiefly anapestic, which Tom Ingoldsby has rendered so popular of late. It will not, however, bear an instant's comparison with the legends of this sterling humourist, for it is deficient in breadth and vigour, and seldom rises above smartness. " That's Near Enough" is an arch little prose essay; in which a useful lesson is read to random talkers who repudiate strict accura - ;37- ofstateinent, as though it were unworthy of their c mversational powers. The " Old Family Place" is the commencement of a poem by Mrs. Norton. ft is tinge l with melancholy, but there is no affectation in its pensiveness, which seems to rise naturally and spontaneously - from the heart. In general, we are great admirers of the poetic genius of this accom plished lady, who combines the feeling of Mrs. Mac lean with the rich and figurative diction of Mrs. llemans. The "Jewish Marriage" is a story whose great( st recommendation is, that it is short. " A Paper on Puffing" is an excellent theme marred in the treatment. The " Songs of Italy" contain one or two able translations from - Tetrarch. The introduc tory observations on sonnet -writing are perfectly just ; hut how is it that, • in speaking of our English sonneteers, Mr, Kenealy makes no mention of Words worth, who is almost the only poet among us who has succeeded in rescuing from `insipidity this most diffi cult species of composition ? to -Anacreon, the author speaks of his " richness of imagination:' - hypacflibal:• Otitis O':7Atla creep possessed an drcif aria epettive; but limited fancy ; but as for a with imagination, this was a quality , which-.he way n glaringly de ficient.

Visit to the City of. the -Kali's" describes.: the present aspect of the once renowned city of Bagdad, so dear. to all the lovers of the Arabian - Rights: We quote a passage or -two, giving account of a visit of ceremony paid by -the author and his fellow-travellers to some' of the prin cipal authorities of the city • . • Ali Pacha received us in a capacious time-worn tent, on the floor of which water had been thrown to cool the air, till it formed so many puddles. He was a very fine old man, very fat, but his eye animated, his forehead good, his aspect benevolent, and manners courteous. He vva:: very - anxious that we should see his guns and war like preparations ; and when he rose to walk with us, his appearance partook highly of the ridiculous. His full trousers did not reach to his ankles, .and made him look like a fat boy just breeched ; a light and almost transparent mashallah, or cloak, was thrown over his shoulders, the train of which was upheld by bearers, ' while the inverted cone which his figure represented, was terminated by a pair of European shoes, which did not tally with the oriental poitibns of his habiliments. We next visited the General commanding the troops, who was honoured by the title of Sarltosh Pacha, or the drunken pacha, a poor, weak, debilitated-looking wretch, who had won his title by , his habits, and his rank, by a mad feat of courage, in capturing a Russian officer. The ceremonies of visits over, we had time to proceed to a somewhat hurried exploration of the ba zaars, khans, jamis, colleges, and other curiosities of this renowned city, but which - have been too often made the objeCt of description to detain us long on paper. The ctipolas'of some of the jamis are superbly decorated with coloured 'briek- work, laid in Mosaic, as are also some of the menarehs. •The houses are flat-roofed, and the roofs, whither in summer the inhabitants repair to sleep, are surrounded by a low wall. The evening hour displayed to us no small number of beauties, both of. the lily and the ebony kinds, and who, loving the sunset and the long shadows of the date-trees, stole occasional glances from their circumscribed domiciles that overhung the si- ' lent river banks with a quick eYe and elastic step, some • what after the fashion of the jerboa of the plain, but with the lustrous glan ce an d a movement of grace which belongs to , woman only. . It is only on arriving at Bag7idad, that the European coming from the north, either by the Tigris or the Eu phrates, feels that he has at length. got fully and really into-the East. - He has passed towns that are oriental, houses and garments that are oriental, and jamis and menarehs that are oriental, yet the very greensward and every flowering plant reminds him of home ; but, at Baghdad, there is no longer any greensward , and the rich deep green of the long forest of palm-trees that he has, met, with the bright bl )gloms' of pomegranate and orange bursting into view below, lend to what else is oriental that only which can fill up the cup of hiS antici pations ; and no where does the sun set so beautifully— in such a clear, vivid, blue green attnosphere—awbehind a boundless level of forest palms. BUt with those-exceptions, which belong to nature and not to art, Baghdad,•like most Mohanimedan cities, is no longer what it was ; its 'very magnificence is ruinous, and its ruins are crumbling into dust. The condition of a MOhaminedan city is, now-a-days, the picture of Moham medanism itself ; and in no one place in the East is there any stay to the universal decaythat pervades everything, except where the civiliiation of Christianity is rising ,upon the ashes of a faith which has involved in sanilar ruin the mind of man, the edifices, which he constructs, and the-country that he inhabits. ,~,.. -., "111110.P.r.44 , 40`7.•% TAIT'S MAGAZINE. Tait has some fearless and forcible remarks this month on the subject, of the " National Distress," which, he says, has this character to distinguish it from former periods of suffering—that its advances have been insidious and gradual, but steady ; adding, that the'remedial measures just carried by Sir Ro bert Peel while they inflict considerable sufferings on individuals of the middle class, can at best prove but a teMporary alleviation. "Indeed," pursues Tait, "alto gether the effect of his measures is doubtful. The best that can he affirmed is, that the changes in the Tariff, if they should do little good, can do no great harm. No man, not even the author of these changes,. dares.. flatter. himself that such petty alterations are speedily to repair the wide-spread calamities of even the last Season ; when distress has grown to so fearful a height, that - even the wise and the courageous shrink from looking it in the face; and well-meaning, humane persons, of limited understanding, are left to, propose • foolish -or desperate temporary expedients. The causes of national decay, to be followed, it is but too probable, by social, and not improbably, by violent disorganization, have been much longer at work than appears to be generally suspeeted." Dis couraging as these remarks are, we fear there is but too much truth in them. The writer concludeS with an obserVatiOn or two on the Corn-laws, which he in sists ought to be abolished, were it- only as a peace offering to the famishing millions who attribute to them their misery. The " Song of July" is not so graceful or. spirited a chant as the " Songs for the Months" have hitherto been. The versification is clumsy, and the thoughts not above common-place. " Abednego, the Money-lender," exhibits no falling off in interest, the dialogues are uniformly clever and natural. The reviews of some recently-published works of fiction are written with that tact and judg ment for which the critical notices of this periodical have long been remarkable. We quote some graphic stanzas, entitled the " Kyber Pass : ' My song a mournful muse invokes : Pale, bleeding o'er the valethe stands, Wildly waving forth her hands.

" This :is a very readable Number of one of the cleverest of our monthly periodiCals. '" Jack Hinton, the Guardsman," by the editor, .Harry Lorrequer, abounds in scenes of broad, rich Hibernian humour. The description of Major Mahon's entertainment of his guests at his country seat, which he called Newgate, and which, although the sheep lived in the parlour, and the cows were kept in the blue drawing room, and the live bull-dogs and a buck-goat kept hoase in the library, - yet looked so imposing " from the high road M Ennis," is enough to throw a stoic into convulsions, " Nuts and Nutcrackers" has some good hits at. the.follies of the day, of which the best refers to the penal code. We doubt, however, whether the condemnation to dine out six days in the week would be felt as a severe punishment by most literary men, who would prefer dining anywhere to not dining at all, as too many of them do at present. " Carl Stelling, the Painter of Dresden," is a capital story for winter evening's fireside, where the mar vellous is always at a premium. The " Portrait Gallery" for this month t-xhibits a very good likeness of Admiral Sir Robert Stopford, followed by a bio graphy of that distinguished, gallant officer. " Poems by the lite - Robert Charles Welsh," an Irish gentle man Who was murdered last year by (it is supposed) some of his own totants, are the productions of an elegant and highly-gifted .71ind.

S. and Co. take the liberty of reminding their friends and the public that the above Cele . - brated Water continues to be manufaeturCd on the largest scale and upon the most scientific principles at their chief es tablishment, 51, Berners-street, London; and also at their three branch Manufactories in Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby ; and that consumers may be supplied with the genuine article at most of the respectable Chemists, Confectioners, and Italian Warehouses in every province of the United Kingdom. The just reputation of their manufacture, and the consequent de mand for it, have tempted unprincipled persons (many of them of apparent—respectability.) to practice a -deception. against which Schweppe and Co. are anxious to caution the public. The deception referred to is that of passing off a spurious .article fur " Szlivreppe's." by selling it in Schweppe's marked bottles. The temptation to this is, the cheapness of the infe rior water, although in most cases the consumer is charged the same. By this artifice a common water is surreptitiously palmed on the public for the genuine—the reputation of the latter is prejudiced by the substitution of a bad article—and a certain proportion of the public patronage diverted from its legith. ate channel. To obviate these several evils, Schweppe and Co. have adopted the plan of placing a Red Label over the coik of each bottle, representing the Royal Appointment in the centre, and the name of their firm on each side, with out which none is genuine. Schweppe and Co. refer with pride to the fact that they constantly supply the Royal Palaces of London and Windsor, as well as the principal Nobility in the three kingdoms ; nor is the demand for their Soda Water less constant on the continent and in other parts of the world. Merchants and Shippers in general connected with the East and West Indies and our numerous Coloniea are continually transmitting orders received from their respective agents anti correspondents, and highly gratifjing is the testimony Schweppe and Co. are in the habit of receiving from gentle men returned from abroad, of the luxury afforded them by their Soda Water when met with in tropical climates, and of the high condition in which it is generally found. The Water ordered for foreign countries is manufactured with an expresz reference to its destination, and it is well known that no other can equally well endure the variations of clima'e. Schweppe's Lemonade is an elegant preparation of more recent intro duction, but from its refreshing and wholesome properties is rapidly betting into extensive reputation. It is an effervescing draught of most agreeable savour, and made of the best mate rials, without regard to cost. Physicians and medical men constantly recommend it in cases of fever, Rm., nor is it less de sirable as an article of luxury. Every genuine bottle will have a yellow labia on its side, with the name and address of the firm. Schweppe and Co. are the largest importers of the German Seltzer later, which they receive direct from. t springs, in quarts and pints, and which they offer to the pubh hr the original packages. N.B.—Export orders for all climates executed on the shortest notice. INDISTINCT VISION.—It behoves all who `'aloe the importance of that wonderful piece of " div:ne mechanism," the Eye, to adopt every means to strengthen and preserve it, parti cularly when those means are within reach, and the results. from their application, are both delightful and immediately felt. E. Solomons and Co., opticians, &c. (36, Old Bond street), have effected an improvement in spectacles, for which they have secured a " patent," and the strict examination of i scientific observers, as well as the all-powerful test of persoral experience, have established their superior excellence. On their application to impaired vision, their effects are both de lightful and instantaneous, conveying at once a refreshing coolness to the Eye, and rendering the most minute objects per fectly distinct, either by day or candle-light ; In short, their superior powers, and freedom from the injurious properties of glasses ordinarily sold, have secured for them the T owerful recommendation of Sir B.
