The Crown .al procession, and Anchor booth, where the votaries of Terpsichore may dance all nay on paying one shilling for admission, and which contains provisions and beer sufficient to maintain an army while the fair lasts, is the largest concern in the place, and truly it is a wonderful affair, for no less than4oo couple can go through a country dance at one time if thiy pleased ; but they only dance quadrilles and cotillions' at Greenwich. There are not so many shows and menageries as usual, but there is no lack of gingerbread stalls, swings, and roundabouts, for the edifi cation of both young and old. The police arrangements, under the direction of Mr. Fisher, the High Constable, and Mr. Mallalien, the Superintendent of the R division of police, are excellent, and such as to ensure the safety and comfort of all ; but the law for closing the fair and houses of entertainment at eleven o'clock appears to be very unpopular.

THE LATE MARQUIS OF HERT FORD'S WILL. Many exaggerated and absurd statements having been made as to the late Lord Hertford's will, we believe the following particulars Ns ill be found more nearly correct than anything that has yet appeared :—To his widow the Marchioness is left 3,00C1. per annum and 20,0001. His son, the present Lord, is left all the landed estates, and residuary legatee, which latter gift is reckoned equi valent to 100,0001. at the least. The late Admiral Sir Richard Strachan left his three daughters, then very young, to the guardianship o f L or d H er tf o rd, and they chiefly resided with him till their marriages ; these three young ladies are the most prominent objects of his Lord ship's bounty, viz., to Charlotte, Countess Zichy, who constantly resided with him, he has left 86,0001. ; to Matilda, Countess Berthold, 80,000/. ; and to Louisa, Princess Antimo Ruffo, 40,0001. ; and to each suc cessively, a life interest in the villa in Regent's park ; which, after them, returns to his own family. To Lady Strachan is left a life annuity of 700/. and 10,000/. To a Mrs. Spencer, who is, we presume, the person called in other statements (but, we believe, erroneously) "Lady Strachan's maid," a life annuity of 1,000/. and 5,000/. To his Lordship's numerous servants several sums estimated at from 16,000 L to 20,000/. To his executors 5,000/. each ; to Sir Horace Seymour, 8,000/. ; to Lord George Seymour, 5,000/. ; to his cousin Captain Meynell, 4,000/. ; to Mr. ' Croker, 21,0001. and his wine, which, from his Lordship's having latterly lived so little in England, is not reckoned at more than 500/. ; to Mr. De Horsey, 3,500/. ; to Mr. Raikes, 2,000 L These, we believe, are the principal bequests ; but the codicils by which they are made are said to be near thirty in number, and liable to various legal questions which may affect and alter some of the legacies, at least as to their amounts, and perhaps some other testamentary papers may be yet found ; but, on the whole, we believe the foregoing is a pretty accurate state ment of the affair as it at prisent- appears on the face of the documents hitherto discovered.

An Eastern hunt is the best thing in the world, if you would see a " little of life" and " lots of fun." The locale, whether it be at far-famed Epping, or in tht Royal neighbourhood of Windsor, matters not. The same sort of falls, the same mishaps, duckings, spillings, and hair-breadth escapes occur to the gallant and ad venturous Easter Monday Nimrods ; the surgeons and coroners in both localities, looking out for " squalls," generally hold themselves in readiness for " active duty." The place selected for the meet of her Majesty's staghounds on Monday was Stoke-common, a very de lightful and picturesque spot, within six miles of Wind sor, and little more than three from Slough station. The time was announced for eleven o'clock, and long before that hour thousands of pedestrians, men, women, and children, were seen hastening to the common from all directions, anxious to be in time to catch a glimpse of the deer, and, what was of more importance to them, in the loyal hope of seeing their• Sovereign and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, with a courtly retinue at the meet. The Court, however, was not present, her Majesty having proceeded yesterday morning on horse back (tor the first time since the birth of the Prince of Wales) to the Great Park, accompanied by Prince Al bert, and attended by a numerous retinue, to witness a hunt by his Royal Highness's beagles. The Earl of Rosslyn arrived at the common between eleven and twelve o'clock, and - at that time the pe destrians amounted to .many thousands, and the horse men numbered several -hundreds. The vehicles, from the , costermonger's donkey-cart to the aristocratic four-in-hand, lined the roads across the common in every direction. Amonget those who were pre sent were his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, the Earl and Countess of Sefton, and the Ladies Molyneaux, Lord Hillsborough, the Earl of March, Colonel Bouverie, Colonel Glennic George Wombwell, Esq., Colonel Vyse, Captain Ridolph, Cap tain Vyse, Colonel .Harcourt, -- Ward, Esq., Cap tains Seymour, Bastard, Bunham, Proctor, and several of the Officers of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue), and 72d Highlanders. The deer, " Mouse," which was selected last Easter was intended to have been hunted lon Monday, but a bolder stag was chosen—one that would go right a-head, and not be intimidated by the mob—named Highflyer, which had been hunted but once before this season, and which then afforded excellent sport. Prvisely at a quarter before twelve o'clock, High flyer (in capital condition) was uncarted at about the centre of the , common. After running through the im mense mob, it Wended its way towards Burnham Beeches, into the plantation of trees abutting on the moor, which it shortly after left, going in the direction of Hedger --ley cn to Fulmer. After being allowed a good ten minutes' law, the hounds were laid on, and at the first rasper which pre ented itself, a scene ensued which may be easily imagined by those who have ever attended an Easter hunt. Many of those who were hardy enough to attempt the leap were " split," while those who felt that " discretion was the better part of valour" turned tail, and thus saved themselves from the consequences of attempting it. By this time the field was well weeded, and upwards of 200 of the right sort went merrily on after the hounds. The stag, after a ca pital run of an hour and a half, was taken at Moor Park, in Hertfordshire, the seat of the Marquis of Westinin. ster, upwards of 100 being up at the finish ? , The private meetto day has been finally arranged to take place at Salt-hill.

Alarm at the injuries with which such a schem e is pregnant to the industrious, and indignation at the inquisitorial system which must be the necessary accompaniment of such a. tax. A meeting of the inhabitants of this town is likely to be summoned, to - memorialize' her Ma jesty on the obnoxious impost proposed to be inflicted on us by her present Ministers. Nothing but' the united voice of the whole empire will deter the present Premier from the adoption of a scheme which, we hesitate not to say, will cause his name to descend with execration to posterity.--Ipswich Express. THE INCOME TAX AND THE NEW TARlFF.—Al though the door of the House of Commons is shut against petitions complaining of the new tax, expres sion is beginning to be given to the feeling against some of the details. At Braintree petitions to the Queen and to the House of Lords are in course of signature amongst the tradesmen against it. A similar petition has been agreed to at Nor wich. The farmers also are beginning to see the real effects of some portions of the tariff, and the Brain tree Farmers' Club, having passed resolutions expres sive of their apprehension on the subject, have ap pointed a deputation to w a it on th e C oun t y Mem bers. The Chelmsford Farmers' Club are about to petition on the subject ; - and we understand that the Ministerial plan, as regards agriculture, being now fully developed, the East Essex Agricultural Society is up and stirring ; the members of the So ciety meet, we learn, to-morrow, when it is expected some strong and decided resolutions will be proposed, and petitions to the Legislature founded upon them.— Essex Herald. THE INCOME TAx.—A requisition is, we under stand, in the course of signature, addressed to the Mayor, soliciting him to call a meeting to petition Parliament against the Ministerial Financial scheme. —Devonport Independent. WHY DON'T WEI PETITION AGAINST THE INCOME Tax ?—On all sides we hear loud and long excla mations of dissatisfaction at the impost with which we are about to be burdened, and indignation at its ob vious, monstrous, inequality ; yet not a hand is moved against it. For aught that can be known to the Go vernment, the inhabitants Ad Ipswich are satisfied with the income tax. Sir R. Peel may fairly assume, and undoubtedly will assume, that the industrious trades and professional men of this town are content to con tribute; out of their hard-eaxned incomes, four or five pounds to every one pound of the landowners or fund holder, in aid of the public revenue. This is no party question ; it is one of self-preservation. The friends of The Peel Cabinet, as well as its opponents, should join in deprecating the obnoxious tax. Why do we not imitate the Metropolitan parishes, and, casting aside for the moment all party strife, join in a requisition to the Mayor for a public meeting, to pe tition the Queen, Lords, and Commons, against the income tax.—lpswich Express. The following is an interesting extract from a letter just received from an impartial observer of passing events in Scotland, in referenee to the subject now dis turbing the repose of the Scotch Church : " As lo the Scottish Ch urc h, or n on-intrusion question, my opinion is that the majority of the people of Scotland ileally care very little about it, and that it is a dispute which has been stirred up entirely by the wild men among the clergy. The evil of pa tronage is greatly exaggerated. The settlements in the face of reclaiming congregations' since the Act of Queen Anne, or 1710, if an account were taken of them, would be found to be comparativevly very few indeed. Popular elec tions among . the Dissenters have caused far greater dissatisfaction and schism amongst congre gations. How many instances could be induced of mi norities amongst the Dissenters breaking off from the majorities and choosing new pastors for themselves ! And how many instances could be given of parish ministers who were unpopular and were thrust on their congregations, gaining the good will of their flocks and becoming the most useful and the most esteemed of the Scottish clergy ! " As to the legal question, you hear it said the Scotch civil and ecclesiastical courts are in collision. This is I wrong. _ _ _ "The law is fixed at present by Act of Parliament ; by civil law, the Act of Queeh Anne, and has been acted on upwards of a century. Every . clergyman in the Church of Scotland was settled, in virtue of this law, till within these few years, when the General Assembly, an ecclesiastical body, presumed to legislate on the subject by passing an Act declaring that congre gations shall have it in their power to veto the appoint ment or induction of any presentee, and this without assigning any ground or objection whatever. Here was Popery, in my opinion, in every sense of the term. A body of churchmen presuming to alter the civil law of the land. It is quite obvious that no civil court could ever recognise so incompetent a proceeding, or any other than the ordinary civil Or statute law of the land. Ac cordingly, on the first occasion when the veto was at tempted, and when the Court of Session, as the inter preters of the civil law, were appealed to, what could they do but pronounce it—the veto—illegal, and order the settlement and ordination of the presentee ? Why should the Court of Session be abused for this ; and why should all the abusive, indeed impious language be ap plied to them about defying the head of the church— trampling on God's heritage, and all the fanatical slang that has been so copiously poured out on the subject. " What astonishes me is the glaring inconsistency of the wild men. They profess their anxiety to get the matter settled by an Act of Parliament—that is, by the civil power. This is confessing at any rate that their own power—the ecclesiastical—cannot settle it, and is, therefore, impotent for any good. Well, supposing a Bill brought in by Sir George Sinclair, Sir William Rae, or the Duke of 4rgyle, Fox Matile, or any other person, and passed into a law, to the present satis faction of all concernei—suppose, however, that a dif ference of opinion arose about some of the provi sions of the new law, and that I maintained my view of the enactment in oppositio n t o a majority of the Presbytery, Synod, and General Assembly, and that I appealed to the Court of Session, as the interpreters of the civil law, and for authority to implement the provision, and the court decided in my favour, would the majority opposed to me not be bound to obey the new law as ordained by the court ? If not 'bound to obey it, what is the use of applying for any new law ? If bound, however, to obey the new law, then the question is inevitable, why not obey the present existing law ? " The present Government has done right in refusing to legislate until the present law be obeyed. By firmly insisting on this being done, they will do more to uphold the Church of Scotland, and to maintain Christianity— for the principle of maintaining authority is as essential a principle to general well-being, ,as . the non-intrusion principle—indeed, far more so than any other course it is possible to take. A few fanatics may go out of the church, but their example will not be followed. Con. cession would, in my opinion, be a most dangerous course."—Morning Herald. POSTPONEMENT of the TARIFF. The Scottish agriculturists are beginning to bestir themselves against the measures of Sir Robert Peel. In the north a strong feeling of dissatisfaction is ra pidly spreading, and in the south we observe that the first of a series of meetings, which are immediately to be .held, has taken place at Haddington. The chair was filled by Sir George Warrender, and re solutions, denouncing the contemplated changes, were moved by Sir G. Grant Suttie, Mr. Aitchison of Drummore, .Mr. Ainslie of Elvington, and other gentlemen, and unanimously agreed to. On-Wednesday last, Mr. Allan Gilmour, Mr. John Mitchell, and Mr. Robert Rodger, a deputation from Glasgow, had an interview with Sir Robert Peel, at his official residence in Downing -street. The Pre mier is understood to have made very short work with the statements which these gentleman laid be fore him, and he treated their dolorous complaints in such a way as to render it unlikely that they will visit Downing-street again with the same tale on their lips. Sir Robert altogether showed himself more than a match for the deputation,. and they will, we trust, lose no time in drawing up an account of the interview, for the edification of the public. It is evident, nevertheless, that from the increasing opposition to the new tariff; Sir Robert Peel will be so much pressed that he will be induced to postpone its coming into operation, if not to withdraw it for the present. He now tells the deputations daily waiting upon him, that, if a sudden change will do much pe cuniary harm, he will give more time ; so he tells the timber merchants—so he says to_the deputations from the colonies. We adhere, therefore, to the opinion, that after he obtains his new tax upon income, he will be found ready enough to put off the tariff re form for another year. Such, also, we are told, is the impressions of several of the leaders of the depu tions that have recently seen the Right Hon. Baronet. —Glasgow Argus. THE ROYAL HOSPITALS.

Charles C. P. Aradt, a Member of the Council from the county of Brown, who was shot in the - Council-room by J. R Vineyard, a Member from Grant, immediately after the adjournment yesterday.—A discussion of a heated cha racter arose upon a motion made in the Council to re consider a vote by which the nomination of Enos S. Baker, as Sheriff for the county of Grant, was rejected a few days since. During the progress of this discussion, some rather violent words passed between Mr. Aradt and Vineyard. The first conceiving himself to have been insulted, approached Mr. Vineyard after an ad journment, for the purpose of seeking an explanation—a slight personal rencontre then took place, when the latter drew a pistol from his pocket and fired. Mr. Aradt reeled for a few paces, then sunk to the floor, and almost immediately - expired, having been shot through the heart.— Wisconsin Enquirer, 12th inst. MILLING IN CINCINNATI FOR 1841.—There were, in this city, at the commencement of the past year, seven flour and two oil mills ; two of the former were burnt down, and rebuilt withn the year. Owing to the state of water in the canals, these mills were in active opera tion but ten months out of the twelve. There were ma nufactured, in the above period, 355,359 bushels of wheat, equal to 71,072 barrels of flour. A lower esti mate puts the whole number of barrels of flour manu • factured at 67,653, but the other estimate is more c•ir rect ; and, according to that, the whole number of bar rels, made in the twelve months, would have been 82,918. The number of hands employed in the flour mills is thirty, and the numbers of runs of stone twenty-two. The whole amount of capital invested, may be stated in round numbers at 158,000 dol. The two oil mills manu factured 11,672 bushels flax seed, equal to 20,426 gallons of oil, or 23,830 gallons for tw e l ve months. Th e num ber hands employed in the oil. mill is five ; they em ploy three hydraulic presses. The whole amount of _ca pital invested in these mills is 17,000 dol.

Two old favourites of the periodical reader have joined his literary forces this - month—each a host in herself—one being Lady Morgan, who contributes one Of her most pleasant pieces of antiquarian gossip, under the title of "Courts and Court Journals ; and the other Mrs. Trollope, who has commenced a new work, called " The Barnabys in America."

IAve,IPI Opportunity of juflgitig.— Ipswich Express. - 88 ISLE OF SKYE, MARCH 18.—The month of March has been unusually wet and Sformy on the west coast this season, and the earlier spring operations have been much retarded. There has been no seed sown here, nor can there be any for some days to come, even should there be a favourable change of weather, owing to the wetness of the soil; and veryAittle has been done in our gardens. On the afternoon and evening of Friday last, we were visited with the most terrific gale of wind, ac companied with rain, we ever remember to have wit nessed in this country. Towards the evening it blew a tremendous hurricane from west and south-west, and a feeling of horror and dismay pervaded the whole com munity. Several houses have been unthatched, corn stacks scattered and destroyed, and much damage has been done to boats on some parts of the coast. A HOUSE SET ON FIRE BY A CAT.—About four o'clock yesterday morning, ,as a policeman on duty was passing the house of Mr. James Blake, tobacconist, No. 21, High-street, Aldgate, he observed a strong light through the shutters of the shop. He immediately aroused Mr. Blake, who, on coming down stairs, discovered the shop to be on fire. Several engines were speedily on the spot, and, by great exertions, the fire was confined to the shop, but not until the building had been much damaged, yid a considerable portion of the stock had been con st\ined. The fire was occasioned in a most singular . manner. A cat belonging. to Mr. Blake, had, by some accident, been shut up in the shop, in a drawer which contained some boxes of lucifer matches, and the animal's movements to get from the placa of her confinement caused the ignition of the matches, and the fire commu nicating to some paper lying about, set the shop in a blaze. THE BENCH AND THE BAR.—lit the Cork As sizes there was a great blow-up between the new Judge, Baron Lefroy, and the Munster bar, who had a quarrel in consequence of his Lordship having refused to adjourn the Court at seven o'clock in the evening, in compliance with the wish of Mr. Bennett, the leadei of the Bar, who was supported by the whole of the barristers with out a single exception. : In order to coerce his Lordship all the barristers left the Court along with Mr. Bennett ; but the Judge, was•not to be so beaten, for he called on they settled; the matter by half-past seven the agents to examine, the witnesses, and as there *ere ' t the same Assizes Mr. John Hawkes oh otlireteachveAesrdict, with 2,000/. damages, against Mr, S zi : muel Devonshire Penrose, for the seduction of hia rife, Th e plaintiff and defendant were near relatives. LITERATURE. LONDON LEGEND& 2 Yols. Bentley, London, 1842. If the read er b e not very fa stidious in his taste, he may possibly find amusement in these volumes, which contain a series of tales illustra tive of the historical and romantic traditions of. Old London and its environs. The most entertain ing of these tales—which is very naturally placed first —is entiled the " Foster Son," and relates to the memorable period of Jack Cade's rebellion, when the metropolis was for some days in a state of perfect panic, the rebel having taken up his head-quar ters in Southwark. Some of the author's sketches ' connected with this incident are passable enough, particularly the account of a visit, for the pur poses of plunder, paid by Cade and his followers to a wealthy London .merchant, on whose ex chequer they levy a sort of income tax, urging ' the same plea for the impost that the Tories are now urging, and with equal propriety. But if we except the cursory sketches of the rebels, and their attack on London Bridge, which certainly give some evidence of graphic ability, there is not much to praise in the "Foster Son," for it is loosely and carelessly constructed ; the language is tame and slip-shod; and the various personages pourtrayed are merely so many common-place generalities. The same objections apply more or less to the remaining tales, which, however, possess the virtue of brevity to recommend them. POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY. Chapman and Hall, London, 1842. For this useftil and elaborate work we are in debted to the Society for the - Diffusion of Use ful Knowledge, at whose suggestion it was written, and under whose superintendence it has been published. The work is introduced by two able chapters devoted to the consideration of the fundamental principles of Government, and then proceeds to give an account of the dif ferent systems of legislation adopted by different countries. The particulars respecting the usages of the French monarchy, previous to the Revo lution of 1789, are very full and explicit, and are penned in a calm and rational spirit of inquiry. But to us, the most acceptable portion of the vo lume is the Introduction, in which the " Objects, Pleasures, and Advantages of Political Science" are considered; and in which we find the follow ing, among many just and impressive passages:— " The mischiefs are incalculable which have re sulted to our species, from the habitual false judgments formed of human conduct and charac ter by the bulk of mankind ; and it must in fairness be confessed, that the great crimes which have been committed by statesmen in all ages, have been mainly caused by the en couragement which the people have given to the criminals. Dazzled by success, subdued by the spectacle of triumphant force, stricken with wonder at the mere exercise ofgreat faculties, and the sight of the events which they brought about, men have withdrawn their eyes from the means used to attain those ends, and lost their natural hatred of vice in their admiration of genius, and their sense of power. No disgust at mean ness, no scorn of treachery, no horror of cruelty, has hitherto availed against the false lustre shed over despicable and detestable deeds by brilliant capacity, crowned with victory. But that is not all the folly committed by unreflect ing men. The most absolute disregard to their own interests has been coupled with their misplaced admiration of successful guilt." THE MEET AT MELTON. Graves, London, 1842. We are indebted for this spirited mezzotint engraving to the pencil of Mr. Humphreys, who has executed it from an original painting by Mr. Grant, which is now in the possession of the Duke of Wellington. The picture represents the meet ing of the Melton Mowbray huntsmen, who are just setting out on a fox-hunt. The scene is a fine open tract of ground, gently swelling up into gradual elevations in the intermediate distance,. and bounded, at the farthest point of sight, ap parently by a range of downs, intersected by small copses. Though there- are considerably upwards of thirty figures pourtrayed, yet the canvas is anything but crowded, so adroitly has the artist disposed his groups. Almost all his figures are portraits, and we can bear testimony to the accuracy of not a few of them. For life, and vivacity, and ease, we have of late years seen few pictures superior to this. NAPOLEON. Graves, London, 1842. A half-length portrait of Napoleon, engraved by Lewis, from a painting executed by Delaroche —a French artist—in the year 1838. Consider ing that the likeness was taken from other por traits of Napoleon, who was mouldering in his rocky tomb at Saint Helena, in 1838, we are surprised at the accuracy with which the artist has hit off, what has been generally supposed to be, the leading expression of his features. There is a sternness, not unmixed with melaneholy,in his features; and he is attired in his favourite grey great coat, and little cocked hat. As a work of art, the print is a very creditable one. SABBATISM NO PART OF CURISTIANI7 A Discourse preached in Union-street Chapel, Glasgow, Feb. 27, 1842, by John Taylor. London : J. lliardon, 7, Farringdon-street. Edinburgh : R. R. Nelson. Glasgow :J. Owen. This discourse (published by request) we con fidently commend to the notice of our readers. At a time when the public mind is being agitated by violent addresses from the pulpit and the press upon the so-called " desecration of the Sabbath," owing 'to the decision recently come to by the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company, to allow the public to be accommo dated by running two trains on Sundays, it is highly creditable to the Unitarian minister, who resides in the midst of a prejudiced people, thus boldly to step forward _and place before the public just and scriptural ifietas of the Sabbath question. Mr. Taylor takes for his text thoge memorable words of our Saviour, Mark, c. v. 27, 28, " And lie said unto them, The Sab bath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath ; therefore the Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath." We have only space for one or two extracts, or it would afford us pleasure to introduce to our readers many remarks of the-talented and re spected author of this discourse : This remark of Christ's was intended to discounte nance the rigour and minuteness of observance by which the Jews impeded many actions on their sacred day ; and we repeatedly find in the Evangelical narra tives, that Jesus came into contact with the Pharisaic temper on this subject, and rebuked it. I need only adduce one illustration to show the opposition between the sentiments and feelings of Jesus, and those of the Jews and many moderns on the subject of Sabbatical ob servance ; and that may be found in the instance of healing an impotent man on the Sabbath, when Jesus said, " Rise, take up thy bed, and walk." Now, it was considered exceedingly improper to carry anything along the streets of Jerusalem en tile Sabbath-day ; and ac cordingly we find that a commotion was excited by this action, and " the Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the Sabbath-day ; it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed." And, my brethren, I can well imagine the commotion that would be excited in THIS city (Glas gow), amongst many who consider themselves exemplary Christians, if, on what is most erroneously called the Christian Sabbath, a man n ere to be seen carrying any large article of household furniture along these streets, in the face of multitudes who were issuing from their re spective places of worship. Shall Ibe told that Christ rommanded only a work of necessity ? I say, No ; there was no necessity for the man to carry his bed. Considering the immense beriefit which had been con ferred upon him, in perfect restoration to health and strength, he might well have been contented to neglect his bed and leave it behind him, rather than shock the religious feelings (shall we call them prejudices ?) of his countrymen. Jesus, had he entertained any such ideas, as many moderns have, on the so-called desecration of the Sabbath, ought surely to have said, " Rise, and walk," not " Take up thy bed, and walk." The preacher proceeds to prove that the fol lowing statements are true :- 1. That the Jewish Sabbath, as enjoined in the Mosaic Scriptures, was a local and national institute. 2. That no day is enjoined by CEristianity as more sacred than another, but all days are alike. 3. That what is now the first daY - of the week, may be, as it is, with the greatest propriety, dedicated to the combined purposes of religious worship and rational recreation. 4. That the spirit which enforced the observance of the Jewish Sabbath, and which dictates the keeping of the Christian's day of rest, is entirely at variance with the spirit which many modern divines would infuse into the observance of one day in seven as a religious season. We cannot refrain from quoting the two con.. eluding paragraphs of the discourse, as Mr. Taylor's views are very similar to our own : I have thus endeavoured to show the manner and spirit in which any day, set apart for rest and worship, may be observed without checking what is natural and pleas ing, without restraining the cheerful spirits of the young, ‘lithout either shedding gloom over, the family circle, or introducing hypocrisy into the obser;tance of religious forms, without fettering the consciences of others, or rendering the profession of Christianity offensive by making it the disturber of the natural pleasures of mul titudes, while, 'at the same time, without in the least countenancing any vicious excess or immoral practice. In conclusion, I enter my solemn protest against any man being considered irreligious because he denies the express Divine appointment of one day,in seven for reli gious worship, or because he rejects. the notion of sanctity as attaching to, any day. A man's 'life may be a perpe tual and acceptable service to God, ,though he does not observe as sacred " days and months, and times, and years." And I also protest against the idea of any man' being engaged in a sinful occupation, bemuse on some part of the Christian day of rest he may attend to iecular employments, and render himself useful in forwarding - 137 441 :35,548 320 470 1,459 32,548 241 390 916 34,095 1,069 1,314 communications between the different cities and districts 'of a great empire like this, or in assisting others , to visit their friends, and enjoy the happiness of social and do mestic affection, or in ministering by a small outlay of his own labour, to the comf o rt, conven i ence, and happi ness of multitudes ; especially if such a man has leisure on other parts of the day to attend to his mental and spiritual improvement, and can, if he pleases, embrace the opportunity which every reflecting person will be glad to improve, of worshipping humbly, gratefully, and reverentially, " the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ," who . " hath given us richly all things to enjoy?' FI ZUMALACARRAGUI, AND THE CHRISTINO SPY. Graves, London, 1842. The subject of this picture is an exceedingly interesting one, and must be fainiliar to all of our readers who are conversant with the late disas trous civil war in the Peninsiila. So ably, too, is it managed, that we can catch at a glance the leading incidents of the story which the artist would desire to develope. The scene is a small provincial church or chapel in Spain. At a rude table covered with a cloth, near the entrance, sits a priest, together with an attendant or secretary who is busy writing, and seems so wholly intent on his task, as to have neither eyes nor ears for what is going on about him. The priest is handing to Zumalacarragui, who is standing up at the other end of the table directly facing him, certain letters and docu ments tending to implicate a Christino spy who has been brought in to the church, bound, in custody of two sturdy looking musketeers. Close by the spy, and kneeling, with a baby in her arms, at the feet of the priest, appears the wife orthe unfortunate man, imploring mercy, and exltibiting a countenance distracted with a hundred conflicting emotions. Next to the sky, is his son—a dogged, sullen-looking lad attentive to all that is passing, and apparently more soli-, citous to revenge his father' s certain death, than to console his surviving parent for her loss. Nothing can be more dexterous or ingenious than the disposition of these several characters, or more true to life than the expression of their countenances. The Carlist leader, Zumala carragui is, of course, the prominent figure; he looks bold, decided, and thoughtful, as if he had already made up his mind respecting the spy's doom, and had passed to the consideration of tar more momentous matters. This costume—which is remarkable alike for simplicity and singularity —is, we understand, just such as he invariably wore during his campaigns, and which be never laid aside, except when it was necessary that lie should make his appearance at the motley court Of Don Carlos. "At this time," says the artist, in his small pamphlet, explanatory of the print, " Zumalacarragui was forty-five years of age, and of middle stature, but his carriage and personal conformation tended in appearance to diminish his height. - He inclined forward in an habitual stoop, and the unusual breadth of his shoulders, bull-neck, and other proportions, were indicative of great muscular strength. He always wore a Zamarra, or fur-jacket. His hair was dark, tending to black, though not absolutely so ; this lie kept closely cut, and his moustache and whiskers were so trimmed as to meet upon the cheek. His eyes were of a dark, grey colour, and naturally piercing. The ex pression of his countenance, when not actively occupied, was that of settled and severe thought; but when in front of troops, the features ex pressed more life, yet not less sternness. He rarely yielded to anything like mirth, and his pleasantries scarcely went beyond a tacit smile." Just such a character—so far as countenance and bearing can indicate it—is delineated in the pre sent engraving. The spy, who is the next pro minent-figure, exhibits a dogged determination and hardihood, as if he had made up his mind to the worst, and was perfectly aware that his destiny was decided. The figure and attitude of his sup pliant wife soften the sterner features of the pic ture, and produce —as they are intended to do— quite a pathetic effect on the spectator. She looks up with 'streaming eyes to the priest; but in his calm, and somewhat scornful features there is no visible app e a rance o f relenting. He looks like one too bigoted and callous of nature, to be easily deterred from a settled purpose. The print, as we observed before, is highly interest ing, and is remarkable for the vigor, variety, and historical truth of its details. From its massive shadows, and here and there bright gleams of ; light, it would show to great advantage in a plain, gold frame. We may add that it is a mezzotint, and is exquisitely engraved by Lewis. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS.

CHICKASAW MURDERS.- The Eagle, published at Fort Pickering, states that a serious rupture occurred near Fort Towson, at the trading establishment cf Colonel Felix Lewis, and of De Soto, between the Chickasaws and Colonel Lewis and one or two clerks. A misunderstanding occurring between some of the chiefs and Colonel Lewis, respecting some Mississippi land claims, Colonel Lewis was attacked and wounded, and his clerk interfering, was killed, and the goods and trading-house, strewn to the winds. Colonel Lewis not having since been heard from, it is feared was seized an I ilesatched by the Indians. }IRE IN PORTLAND.—We learn from the Eastern Argus; that on Monday night a fire broke out in Fore street, in a building occupied by L. Stowell as a grocery, and destroyed goods to the amount of $6,000 or $7,000, and building, valued at $2,000 ; also the books of Frost. Waterhouse, and Co., who previously occupied the build ing. The goods and building were insured. As a Polish refugee officer was, two days ago, passing across the Rue des Frondeurs, he was, through the carelessness of the driver, knocked down by the pole of a carriage, and received so severe an internal injury that the blood gushed from his mouth, besides having his right foot crushed. He was carrid to his residence. Np. 20, Rue de la Michodiere, in an alarming state. The bearskin caps now worn by the Household Brigade are to be discontinued, and helmets substituted in their place ; the helmets are to be made of German silver ; those of the Ist and 2d Life Guards are to be distinguished by a white plume of horse-hair placed in the socket in the centre of the skull ; and those of the Royal Regiment of Horse Guards, by a rod plume. The are to be worn for the first time on her Majesty's birthday ANECDOTE or MR. JVSTICE CRBSSWELL.—About two years ago, when Mr. Justice Cresswell was at the bar, he was examining a sailor as a witness, who ever and anon called him " My Lord," on which the Learned Counsel said, "I am not my Lord. That's my Lord," pointing to Mr. Baron Alderson, who was trying the cause ; on which his Lordship added, " He is speaking prophetically, Mr. Cresswell." It is somewhat singular that Mr. Cresswell should so soon afterwards be entitled to be addressed " My Lord." M. Alehus, the banker and brother of the Director of the Bank of Brussels, is arrived in Paris (says the Constitutionnel), for the purpose of founding a project for a railroad from Paris to Brussels on solid bases, and so that it may be carried into immediate execution. SAGACIOUS AND HUMANE OFFICIAL.—A boy in Indiana was recently arrested for robbing the mail. While. he was in prison, the Sheriff entered the room, and levelled a pistol at his head, threatening him with instant death if he did not confess the crime. The boy thought that confession was better than death, so he pulled the money out of the lining of his cap, and gave it - up. The next day the boy was seized with epilepsey, and will probably never recover. • NEWSVENIiERS.—The newsvenders of the metro polis celebrated their anniversary last week, by an enter tainment given at Anderton's Hotel, and commemorated the gift by the body of a piece of plate to Mr. Wood of the Dispatch. The evening was passed in a most agree able manner, and several excellent songs were sung ; amongst them Mr. Beular gave his -‘ Earthquake." CHRISTIAN BURIAL.—A correspondent informs us that the son of Mr. John Judd, of Buriton, near Beacons field, was buried some days ago without the usual funeral rites. The child had been duly registered, but for some cause not explained the ceremony of baptism was not performed, and the clergyman therefore refused to offi ciate. A grave was dug in the churchyard, where the body was interred in silence. BADMINTON, MONDAY MORNING.—The Duke of Beaufort was sufficiently , recovered this morning from his recent accident to be able to take the field. On :Wednesday morning the Duke and Duchess leave for 'Bervoir Castle, the seat of the Duke of Rutland, to join the circle assembled at that princely mansion for the Croxton Park races. • The superior Tribunal of Barcelona has just con -damned to ten years' hard labour at the hulks the Alcalde of San Martin 'leis Provenzals and his Secretary, as members of a band of highway robbers. A similar con deinnation occurred, a short time back, in the ease of the Alcalde of San Andres, Milton,sM H .l .o L u T se o , a N t 'HSorPon°, l tj va S s E p . ulled down about fifty years since, and another apparently of similar dimensions built in its stead. The gar , den and ground are the same ; and an old pigeon house belonging to the former mansion has been preserved. In the garden is a decays apple , tree under which the poet is said—with no - great probability —to have composed the " Arcades." The situation of the house is low and marshy. Though near the public-road, it is concealed by the shrubbery and a cluster of " hedge-row elms." We had some difficulty in finding the house, as the villagers considered our inquiries directed towards a more aristocratic mansion, the , manor-house which has recently been destroyed, to the great regret of the people, who described it as a noble old residence that has stood f o r hundreds of years. The Milton-house was the second of importance in the village. Having traced out the spot, we found the proprietor, Mr. Cooke, a hale, cheerful old gentleman, en gaged in the field, superintending his hay makers. He came with great alacrity to show us the house, pointed out the pigeon-house and apple-tree, and dwelt with peculiar delight on the appearance of two tall poplars on the lawn, about a hundred feet in height, which were visible, lie said, all the way to Slough, near Windsor, and on the London-road. There is not a hill betwixt Horton and London. In this secluded spot, " shrouded in cheerful shade," the poet had nothing to withdraw him from the studies in which he delighted. Mr. Cooke called one of his labourers to accompany us to Horton Church, in which he said no doubt the Milton's often sat, and where the poet's mother lay buried. The honest peasant was as civil and cheerful as his master, of whom he spoke with the affections of the "olden time," that still lingers in these re mote nooks and corners; society is much the same as it was two hundred years since. His master, he said, had suffered much affliction ; all his family had died before him, and their tombs were in the church. There is, fortunately in some minds an elasticity and ever-springing cheerfulness—the result of a happy nature and happy reliance on the goodness of Providence— that enables them to surmount the heaviest cala mities that befall humanity. Horton Church is, like the village, low and antique; it has its yew trees and ivy -mantled walls, the characteristic and interesting accompaniments of such cpots. An ancient fount is in the interior. The chancel is paved with red bricks, among which the blue flag -stone over the grave of the poet's mother is conspicuous. The stone is inscribed, " Here lyeth the body of Sarah Milton, the wife of John Milton, who died the 3d of April, Mi."— Fra ter's Magazine. Mr. DICKENS.—This gentleman arrived in Phi ladelphia on Sunday afternoon, and has taken lodgings at the United States Hotel. Yesterday the military guard which had been placed over Hutchings, the soldier who, after having fired several shots through a door in the Mews' Barracks, Charing-cross, and jumped out of a windiw, was dis missed, in consequence of the surgeon having pronounced the unfortunate man to be beyond further surgical aid. His death is hourly expected. Letters were received on Monday at Lord Rolle's, in Upper Grosvenor-street, from Lady Rolle, at the seat of the noble and venerable Peer, Bicton Park, near Honiton, which did not hold out the slightest prospect of his Lord • ship's recovery, and his demise was hourly expected. The peerage is of the creation of 1796. GREENWICH FAlR.—There were no fewer than forty steamere engaged on Monday in conveying the holiday folks to the fair. They took down freight after freight. The river presented a gay and animated appearance. At five o'clock there could not have been less than 200,000 visitors in the town, of whom at least two-thirds were from London. TEE TOWER.—On Monday morning, at 10 o'clock, the new Jewel-office in the Tower, containing the re galia, was for the first time opened to the public. The number of persons who paid for admission (6d.) to view the regalia, yesterday, was 275 ; and the ruins of the small armouries 348. Total number of visitors, yester day, 623. The Armoury ticket-office closing at four o'clock, a great number of persons arrived subsequent to that hour, but of course too late to view either the Crown jewels or the ruins of the armouries. The sales of the relics of the late destructive conflagration showed a decided " improvement" yesterday. The number of visitors to the ruins of the armouries for the week end ing Saturday last, was 648. A new plan is to be tried for paying the out-pen sioners of Chelsea Hospital. It is proposed that th's duty shall in future be performed by captains selected from the half-pay list. The experiment is to be first put in practice in North Britain, where ten officers of that rank are to be posted. A GOOD THOUGIIT.—Man is but a reed, and it is a true representation of the weakness of nature ; but then he is a reed that thinks. It does not need the universe to crush him ; a breath of air, a drop of water will kill him. But even if the material universe should overwhelm him, man would be more noble than that which destroys him ; because he knows that he dies, while the universe knows nothing of the advantage which it obtains over him. Our true dignity, then, consists in thought. From thence we must derive our elevation, not from space or duration. Let us endeavour then to think well ; this is the principle of morals.—Pascal. An inquest wag held on Monday, et St. George's Hospital, before Mr. Higgs, Coroner, o n th e b o d y o f John Williams, age d 41. From the evidence it appeared that about six o'clock in the evening of the 10th instant, deceased was lighting the lamps in front of the Wel lington Barracks, near Buckingham Palace, and while in the act of lighting one cf the lamps the ladder on which he was standing suddenly slipped, and he was in consequence thrown from his footing and literally im paled upon the spikes of the railings in front of the barracks. He died on Saturday last. Verdict—" Acci dental death." KENNEDY'S KAunooL.—ln the very remarkable "Narrative of the Campaign of the Army of the Indus in Sind and Kaubool, during 1838-9," by Dr. Kennedy, our recent fatal disasters in India were clearly traced and foretold. Every one of the author's remonstrances have now, when too late, been felt to be just. Such are his opinions as to the choice of cantonments, the route of the army, his condemnation of the superfluous baggage, and useless followers of our Indian armies, and his warning as to the place adopted for the disembarkation of our troops. His book, published in 1840, contains the fol lowing singular and memorable passage :—" The day of reckoning is not come ; but it will come, and bring a train of results at which the ear of him that hoareth may tingle for the remainder of his life." How fearfully has this been verified ! On Tuesday, says a letter from Boulogne, one of the fishing-boats of that port brought in the bodies of several men belonging to a boat which had been wrecked during the late storms on the coast of England, and th• crew drowned. They had been washed on shore, and the inhabitants had carefully collected them, and put them into oak coffins. A petition has been agreed to by the seed growers of Coggeshall against the alteration of the duty on foreign seeds.—Esser Herald. The Bishop of Lichfield's illness has taken a favour able turn, and the Rev. Prelate is out of danger. The Bishop of Hereford officiated for his Lordship at the or dination at St. George's, Hanover-square. FURTHER Loss OF LIFE BY FlRE.—Yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, an inquest was held at the Queen's Arms public-house, in Spa-row, Bermondsey, before Wm. Carter, Esq., the Coroner for Surrey, on view of the body of Mary Ann Weller, aged five years and a half, the daughter of Mr. Thomas Weller, of No. 9, Spa- road, tanner, whose death was occasioned under the following truly lamentable circumstances :—On Thursday evening lest the deceased was left with her brother in a room by themselves, where there was a fire, and it appears that the latter, with a piece of stick, was amusing himself by carrying it about the room, when his sister, in endeavouring , ' to take it from him, se t h er clothes in flames, and, before they could be extinguished, she was literally roasted alive, and expired in a short time afterwards. The Coroner remarked that he had never witnessed a more severe case of burning. Ver dict—" Accidental death." MEETING OF THE BOOT AND SHORMAKERS AGAINST THE NEW TARIFF.—A meeting of the boot and shoe makers of Liverpool, which included both masters and journeymen, was held yesterday (Monday), in the large room attached to the York Hotel, to take into conside ration the effect likely to be produced upon the trade by the proposed reduction of duty on the importation of foreign beats and shoes. The meeting was a very nu merous one, the large room being nearly filled. Mr. Thomas Turner was called to the chair. The following excellent and pithy resolution was passed unanimously —" That this meeting views with great alarm the pro posed tariff relative to the importation of foreign boots and shoes, without a corresponding reduction on two other necessary articles of life, viz.—corn and sugar." Mr. James Stout and Mr. William Harris moved and seconded this resolution, which, with other resolutionS, were subsequently moved and carried ; and it was ulti mately resolved to draw up a petition to Parliament, praying for a better adjustment of the tariff, the petition to be confided to the members of the borough for pre sentation.—Liverpool Times. MILLBANK I i ENITENTIARY.--.-The Report of the Superintendin g c , Committee f or th e p ast year, o f th i s Penitentiary, for the reception of convicts, affords but little conclusive, and amounts to scarcely more than a statement of what is doing, in furtherance of what should be done. The former distressing increase in the number of insane prisoners having been occasioned, in the opinion of Dr. Italy, the medical attendant, by the severe observance of the separation system, the Com mittee, under his advice, have relaxed this strict system with regard to all prisoners, except two classes an insufficient space of time, however, has 'as yet elap sed two yearill a ff ord that' v t since the any positive data.
