LITERATURE. THE LIFE, POLITICAL AND.. OFFICIAL, OF JOHN. EARL OF ELDON. LONDON, 1827. Lord Eldon has Of.late years occupied so.dis tingnished a place in the legal and political annals of England,; he has put himself forward on certain momentous occasions, with such un compromising tenacity of purpose, gaining point after point with slow but steady perseverance, and, : like a cautions rather than an intrepid Ge 7 ral, never advancing to new conquests till he had previously secured the. old ; he has played his part, in short, with such unwearied zeal, that : he has secured for himself no insignificant - niche in the temple of his country's history. Of course it. was not to be expected that he could move forward on his career without encountering at every step the most inveterate hostility. _Envy and self-interest—those sleepless foes to great ness—would naturally be at work to assail him, and he has•accordingly i been as undeservedly cem sured as eulogized. The inducements, however, Co praise or blame, have now in a great degree passed away, his Lordship has retired into -the ' vale of private life, content henceforth with con fining his abilities' it) the destruction of game . in Devonshire. His claims therefore on his country's gratitude, may be canvassed with greater impartiality.. He started in life an unflinching Tory of the old school, the protege of Lord Thurlow, the obsequious Attorney-General of Pitt, and from that hour to the present has moved along in his course, looking neither to the right nor the left, neither before nor behind, adopting, from first to last, one particular undeviating line Of conduct. The improvements of the . age, whether in, point of thought or action, which.have spread themselves every where over society, have not yet reached him : his mind is cast in the mould of other times ; it is fixed, impassive, and cannot adapt itself to the exigencies of the age. Hence he -is out of his'place among our present enlightened politicians. Different periods demand different men; and the Attorney-General, who shone, with such brilliancy in 1797, glimmers but feeblvas a Chancellor in 1827. As a lawyer, Lord Eldon is distinguished by patience, acuteness,and extensive legal information ; he has, however, done little either for the present or future times ; he has introduced no successful innovations, pro jected no improvements, corrected no old ab surdities ; it was enough for him that an absurdity was mildewed with age ; that hallowed it in his mind. In his politics, Loid Eldon has been equally cautious and narrow-minded ; in no one sense, has he kept pace with the advan cing spirit of the age ; he is at least sixty fears behind it in liberality ; is slow and sceptical in his turn of mind, and vacillates every where but in his tis hatred Lordshipto reform. e These well detailed, me ntapeculiarities iian of amusing little pamphlet, which suggested the present slight notice. The author seems to have been long and intimately acquainted, with Lord Eldon 's character (" political and official," as he calls it), and has drawn it—with what -success ; those will see who will turn to the very interesting and diversified pages of his pamphlet. THE NATIONAL SILK WEAVERS' SOCIETY, Established for the sole purpose of giving constant Em ployment to the .poor Weavers and their numerous Fa milies of Spite!fields, and to educate 500, and clothe 200 of their Children ; and also to educate an unlimited number of the Children of other industrious Silk-Weavers. THEIR PATRONS, and the NOBILITY and Public, are most respectfully informed, that their Establishment, 59, Oxford-street, WILL OPEN on MONDAY, the 25th Day of this Month, and that they have commenced Selling at their Warehouse, No. 15, De vonshire-square, Bishopsgate-street, opposite the Church, previous to opening their Retail House, at No. 59, Oxford street. They cut at their Warehouse any quantity of Silk from the piece, at one penny per yard on the cost price, where they always keep ready manufaCtured rich Ducape, plain and figured Gi os de Naples, stout Lustring and Sarsnet, Black and coloured Levantines, and Satins of every de scription and quality, and a most extensive assortment of rich Silk Damasks, including, amongst a variety of others, Thirty new Patterns of elegant Taberets, the designs of which are perfectly Original, and executed exclusively for the Society, consequently will be found the greatest no velty ever submitted to public inspection. Ladies are most respectfully informed that it is not. profit they seek, but only sufficient to cover expellees, and keep the men in constant employment. Thosl Ladies and Gentlemen who will honour the Society by becoming yearly Subscribers of Ten Shillings, will be waited upon at their respective dwellings by one of the members of the Com mittee, with every new Pattern of silk previous to their being submitted to public sale. The Subscriptions will go to the Fund of the Society, to provide for the benevolent purposes for which it has been established, via.—at each member's death, 121. A member's wife's death, 6/. If any member , sick, 12s. per week, and if out of employment, 10s. The purchasers, if they wish, may see rich Silks in the progress of being manufactured. W. G. GARLAND, Secretary. A CERTAIN CURE ,FOR THE JAUNDICE. THIS invaluable 'Medicine has been a'Farnily, Secret for a number of years, during which time it has been used with the most complete success, and is now for the first time offered to the public as an effectual remedy for that disease ; many patients who have been sent from the hospitals as incurable, besides numerous others, have been perfectly restored by its means. Quart bottles may be had at 1/. each, or pints at 10s., at 1, Elder-street, Spital-square, where also satisfactory proofs of its efficacy will be given. The cure is completed in nine days, two quart bottles being sufficient. It is proper to remark, that the medicine is perfectly innocent in its operations, and may be taken by infants with the most perfect safety. Patients may be seen from ten till one on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. NEW and UNIQUE PREPARATION of CARBON ATED EFFERVESCING CHELTENHAM SALTS. THIS incomparable combination of all the solid contents of the celebrated Cheltenham Springs, producint , the immediate disengagement of CARBONIC ACID GAS, on the simple addition of pure Water (a process never before effected), is now presented to the Public with a degree of confidence proportioned to the uni versal approbation it has already received from some of the most distinguished Members of the Profession, as uniting the Gaseous qualities'of the Waters at the Fountain-head with the peculiar Saline ingredients of the Springs, and thus producing the most active, though mild and agree able substitute for the Cheltenham Waters ever produced by Chemical Science. Messrs.. BEA VAN and PERRINS beg to • apprise the Public and Faculty, that this preparation is now (after a long and very elaborate process) brought to a high degree of perfection, and will enable Invalids and Travellers at a distance from the Springs to possess the superior ad vantage of the Cheltenham Waters in the nearest state of approximation. Prepared by Messrs. Beavan and Perrins, at their La boratory, High-street, Cheltenham; 'and sold in Bottles at 4s, 6d., 10s. dd., and I/. ls. each, by Messrs. Butler, Chemists, Cheapside, corner of St. Paul's, London ; 54, Sackville-ltreet, Dublin ; and 73, Princes-street, Edin burgh ; also by Mr: Sanger, 150, Oxford-street ; and all the respectable Medicine-venders in the United Kingdom. tar kis unnecessary to direct the attention of the Scientific World t 6 the well-known fact, that the Chelten ham Salts as procured by evaporation from Waters, are necessarily ifreed by the process from all the Gaseous and Tonic contents of the Springs which constitute so import anta Medical agent in their administration. N.B. Ask for Beavan and Perrins' Cheltenham Salts. ARCHITECTURE OF LONDON. The great architectural superiority of London, such as it is, consists in the number, size, and ge neral neatness of its principal streets and squares. No other city can boast so great a number of streets, equll to those of London in length and breadth, and so uniformly well built. Petersburgh, Berlin, Naples, Turin, Genoa, Antwerp, Edin burgh, and other places, have, perhaps, finer streets than any in London, but in respect to their number there is no comparison. At pre sent, also, it - may be affirmed, that since the completion of,the line of street extending from Carlton-house to the Regent's - park, it would not be easy to find, in any other city, even a single street which greatly exceeds that magnifi cent range of buildings. Remarks of a similar kind may be applied to the squires. There is none that can be compared with the great square of St. Petersburgh, the Place Vendome at Paris, the Place Royale at Brussels, the Place of St. Marc at Venice, or even with the principal squares in Edinburgh. Yet, when we consider their number, their spaci ousness, their enclosures, and their general neat ness, they form a4ogether such an assemblage as no other city can In the capital article of churcheS, London will probably be admitted, after Rome, to take the first rank a mongst the cities of Europe. Some few places, as Milan, Strasburgh, York, &c. may boast a finer Gothic cathedral than Westminster; and St. Paul's must yield the palm to St. Peter's, as a Grecian temple ; but no single city can boast two several specimens which rank soliigh in their respective departments. In churches of the secondary order, Ldndon is also richer than any other city. . We come next to the article of bridges ; and, in this particular, it must be admitted that no city in Europe can pretend to any competition with London. No other great capital is, indeed, so favourably situated in this respect, bisected as it is by a broad and deep river which• bears on its current a greater commerce than any yet known in the annals of mankind. The Seine at Paris•is very complete in its bridges, both as to quality and number : but the narrowness of the river is a bar to all magnificence. The bridge over the Garonne at Bordeaux is, perhaps, of greatef extent, and that over the Elbe at Dresden is more finely ornamented, than any in London ; but no single city can show five such bridges as those of West minster, Waterloo, Blackfriars, Southwark, and London.—Mechanics' Magazine. In every quarter of the country, and among ail ranks of society, circumstances are occurring which evince the popularity of the Prime Minister. Among these may be mentioned the fact, that the precentor of a country parish in Annandale, in publicly presenting his child last week for baptism at the sacred font, bestowed on him the well known name .of George Cen . aning.— Scotsman: Whoever the following story may be fathered on, Sir John Hamilton was certainly its parent. The Duke of Rutland, atone of his levees, being at a loss (as probably most Kings, Princes, and Viceroys occasionally are) for something to say to every person he was bound in etiquette to notice, remarked to Sir John Hamilton that there was " a prospect of an excellent crop : the timely rain," observed the Duke, " will bring every thing above ground." " God forbid? your Excellency !" exclaimed the courtier. his Excellency stared, whilst Sir John con tinued,. sighing very heavily' as he spoke :—" yes, God forbid ! for I have got three wives under it."—Leinster Journal.

Coke, T., Coventry 'Warner, J., Foleshill Glenn, T., Foleehill CALAIS, JULY 26.—A camp has been formed at St. Omer's, consisting of 16,000 men, 'of which, about 2,000 are cavalry : they will remain encamped until the end of the autumn, and longer, if the season is sufficiently mild. His Majesty the King of France very shortly will honour this camp with his presence, and during his stay there, manoeuvres of the most interesting and brilliant de scription will be executed by all the branches of the military 'service. His Majesty will also visit Dunkirk, to inspect the improvements made at that port. Superb fetes will be given both at Dunkirk and St. Omer's. Prepara tions of a most splendid description are already making at bote places. Lieutenant HoLmArr, R.N., commonly called the Blind Traveller, came here a few days since to take a passage in his Majesty's ship, Eden, for the coast of Africa, where he is going to explore the interior. He is a gentle manly man, about 40 years of age, very intelligent, and a pleasing companion. He feels confident of success, and of returning to his native country : and we have no doubt that he will bring with him a correct account of the man ner of its inhabitants, and give a pleasing relation of that coun try. —Plymouth Journal. _ _ _ We understand that about fifty .masons of this city, most of them having families, have engaged to go to Halifax, Nova Scotia, to work at a canal about to be con structed in that country.—.

In Lisbon there are thirty-nine convents and fourteen nunneries ; in Oporto, eleven convents and six nunneries ; in Coimbra, two convents, eighteen colleges, and six nunneries ; and in Portugal altogether there are about 418 convents and 108 nunneries, which contain at' an average, twenty a piece, making the number of monks and nuns in the kingdom amount to 10,520. In several books published not many years ago the number of priests, monks, and nuns has been calculated at 300,000, whereas, the fact is, there are little' more than the tenth part of that—viz. 25,000 prieits, 8,000 monks, and 2,000 nuns in round . numbers. Ido not mean to defend monastic • vows, but as all allow that even the devil de serves his due, the same cannot be refused to those who profess to drive him away by fasting, and prayer, and mortifying the flesh. The evils that exist in many of these institutions , prOceed rather from an abuse of the system than from any great defect in their original construction. No one can deny that during the dark ages the monks were the guardians of literature, and spent large, sumo of money in aupplfaig the wants of the poor end relieving the distressed. In the times of the Goths and Vandals, when Europe was buried in ignorance, they copied useful books, which otherwise would have been lost for ever, they acted as mediators between the feudal lord and his vassals, and administered to the afflicted and dying the consolation of religion. No doubt they have departed, in some instances, from the rules by which they were at first esta blished, and there is not the same want for them now that there was seven or eight centuries ago, but even now many of them lead pious lives, and perform many acts of 'charity which the Protes tant clergy would do well to imitate. They have been charged as a body with wallowing inluxury and vice secretly, while outwardly they professed humiliation, and poverty, and want. As a ge neral rule, nothing can be farther from the truth. With the exception of the rich monasteries of Alcobaca, Thomar, and Santa Crui, there are very few above mediocrity, and many so poor that the incomes are hardly sufficient to maintain the present number. I have conversed with many of the monks, dined with some of them, and visited their cells, and no one who knows any thing of human life would say, on seeing such want of comfort, and such mortification • and se clusion, that their lot is at all enviable. It is hardly possible to conceive any place more gloomy than a convent, even of the richest class. —Three or four times a-day they are obliged to attend chapel, and go through the different re ligious ceremonies imposed on them by their vows ; they have little intercourse' with the rest of the world ; no female is allowed to enter their convent, and their apartments are in general des- • titute of that comfort, and cleanliness, and order which the society of the other sex seldom failsto produce. Many of them, no doubt,. break the rules, and occasionally children are the con sequence ; but even instances of this are much less frequent than is commonly imagined. The prejudice against them has, within these 20 or 30 years, become so general, and the public are so apt to magnify what is done in'secret, that they are - not only loaded withal] their own sins, but with a great many more of which they are entirely innocent. Some of them are re spectable, intelligent men, there are others of a different description, who appear to possess some of those qualities for which the whole class are stigmatised. The provision they'make for the poor in their immediate neighbourhood, consti tutes, perhaps, their greatest merit. Some of the convents are very liberal iii this respect, and distribute food daily to a great number of men dicants. The following is an account which was published some years ago, of the income of one of the Orders, and the mode in which it was spent :-4 , It consisted at that time of 23 con vents, containing 320 monks, though the number now is reduced to 270. The rental was 250,000 new crowns (28,0001.) which, besides providing for the monks, maintained 300 servants, one-half of whom were employed in agriculture, furnished daily or weekly alms to a great number of poor, and in bread alone, 10,000 alqueires (4,000 English bushels) of wheat ; and besides having troops billetted on them in their march, and thereby relieving the country people of the burden, the monks paid to Government, for the expences of the State, 30,000 new crowns (3,400/.) annually." Land in Portugal is ill cultivated, but that belonging to convents is in ge neral much better managed than that in the hands of laymen. It is natural that it should be so. The monks always reside on their estates, whereas the areat landed proprietors, like those of Ireland, 'flock to the capital, and seldom know in what man ner affairs are conducted. There is no accumula tion of wealth, as the number of monks is regula ted according to the amount of the funds, and some of them, particularly those of Alcobaca and Thomar, have incurred considerable debts. The number , of monks is certainly on the decrease. The present state of the convents proves this, beyond doubt. Many parts of some of them are in ruins ; others are not half inhabited ; and there seems to be such a general prejudice against the order, that a young man has little encourage ment to,enter it. The funds too, from which some of them derived revenue, are either much diminished, or diverted to other purposes. For merly they possessed all the tithes, most of which are now allotted for the support of the Secular Clergy. They derived large revenues from alms, grants of land, and donations of other kinds, which are everyday becoming less and less ; and it is not at all improbable that, with the exception of those rich convents which possess lands and houses, in no long period, whether the Consti tution succeeds or not, most of them will go to decay. In many respects, no doubt, this would be an advantage; in others, the disadvantage would be most manifest, and either the poor would die the landed proprietors - would be obliged to said. against these i ns t i t u ti ons , e for them as in England, of Nith gc a le : want, ; ta has or been and in no country have they been more abused than in England, yet no country has less right- What revenues are annually paid.,to clergymen, both in England and Ireland, who neither preach nor perform any official duty, nor give any of their funds to the poor, nor even reside in the parishes from which they draw their incomes ! The nunneries are , not, so well peopled as the convents', This mode of living, too, evidently has had its day and appears to be growing into disrepute. I have not heard of any one taking VEEK Sean:.
