BRUSSELS PAPERS. BatTssELs, Auo. 20.—The Court of Cassation has just given a decision which assimilates foreigners to native sub jects with respect to serving in the militia. Messrs. Ch. M. Brouckeri and Willmar, members of the Committee of Belgian manufacturers, set out for Paris yesterday. It being apprehended that some disturbances might take place in the evening of the 18th. in consequence of- the re joicings of some of the working classes, on the acquittal of all the prisoners accused of the riots at Brussels, all the posts of our garrison were doubled, the troops passed the night with their knapsacks on their backs, and the cavalry ready to march. The gendarmes as well as the troops of the line sent out patroles during the whole night. The most per fect tranquillity prevailed every where.—Eclair. Last night, as well as the preceding, all the troops of the garrison were under arms, numerous' patrols of the troops of the line and gendarmes traversed the streets; the commissioners of police had their head-quarters at the Town Hall. Towards ten o'clock at night, several groups had collected in the Ruc d'Etoile, near the Grand Place, but they were immediately dispersed. All the public houses in that street were crowded. Tranquillity was nowhere interrupted. Se veral young men had gone to meet some of the acquitted prisoners, and gave them a dinner at Halle. In the evening they all returned into the city in 17 carriages. The Magistrates of Mons, fearing that the acquitted might remain in the town the night before last, and in order to make it more easy to suppress the disorder which they supposed might ensue on their being set at liberty, had hastened to place the lamps in all the streets, which is not usually done till the Ist of September. Numerous patrols were ordered, but these precautions were unnecessary. Im mediately en the delivery of the sentence, the accused, with the exception of the first five, were conducted to Ninny, where they received each a glass of beer, a pipe, tobacco, and six francs. They then proceeded quietly to Brussels. —Brussels Papers, Aug. 21. PRICES OF SHARES THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. Paid. Per Share.

CAsAEL, AUG. 11.—Immediately after the sitting of the Assembly of the Estates, on the 2d August, when the re solution respecting the Budget of the war department was passed, the printed remonstrance of the Minister of war was disr,atched to His Royal Highness the Electoral Prince Regert, who was at Schevening, and probably nothing further will be done till his return, which is expected about the 15th. (Our readers will recollect that the Chamber having reduced the sum asked for the war department, the Ministc.r declared that it would be impossible if this re duction were insisted on, to keep up the contingent of troops which the government as a memberoftheconfederation is bound to maintain.) The Committee of the Chamber considers what it regards as the disproportionately high amount of the military budget of Hesse, compared with those of other States of the Confederation, to arise chiefly from the circum stance that the number of officers in Hesse Cassel is greater in proportion than Wurtemburg, Baden, Hesse Darmstadt, and Nassau. The committee calculates that we have one Major-General, three Colonels, seven Lieut.-Colonels, six Majors, and 13 Captains more than the division of the Ger man Diet requires, and that as the military organization of the German Confederation prescribes nothing respecting the number of Lieutenants, a reduction may take place without any violation of the regulations of the German Diet. The proposal ofthe Chamber is confined merely to a change in the formation of the infantry, by which it would consist in future of only two regiments, each of three battalions of sharpshooters and two companies of jagers. The Chambers have not proposed any change in the organization of the cavalry, by which it is affirmed far greater sums might be saved. SILESIA, AUG. 2.—The drought in this country is so great that the wells in many places are dry, no rains having fallen for this month past. The water in the rivers is gra dually falling and the trees are turning yellow, and all the grass is as dry •as hay. The scarcity of forage is becoming alarming, and fills us with great appre hensions for the winter. The farmers are all try ing to get rid of the half of their live stock, but cannot find purchasers. A good cow is offered from three to six dollars, and can with difficulty be sold even at that price. Even now we have no hopes of rain. For these three week a hate (called in Germany Hohenrauch, or hill smoke) has bet it in the air, which hinders us from seeing the meuntains at the distance of a league. The air too is filled with dust, the wind is constantly in the south east, and the temperature at noon in the shade, and in a north aspect, varies from 24 to 27 degrees Reaumur (86 to 93 degrees Fahrenheit). The hart est is almost over, and corn on the whole good, but a good deal has been lost, because the sudden and unexpected heat parched it to such a degree that a considerable quantity fell out ; The straw, too, is extremely poor. We may, therefore, ex pect that the prices will rise, especially in some parts, where they will be obliged to give corn to the sheep. There is no appearance of rain. The sun rises and sets like a ball of fire, so that the timid and superstitious are filled with terror, and prophecy all sorts of calamities. DARMSTADT, AUG. 14.—1 t was resolved yesterday, in the Second Chamber, in reference to a petition from the wine-growers in the province of Rhenish Hesse, to address the Government to make advances of money to the poorer wine-growers to purchase casks for the vintage of the pre sent year, and also to give the same indulgence to the makers of cider, perry, and the like.—Frankfort Papers, Aug. 16. • THE CAVE OF DUNMORE IN THE COUNTY KILKENNY. Having visited this subterraneous cavern a few days ago, accompanied with a friend, and conductors, never did 1 think there was such a natural curiosity in this dear little island as the Grotto of Dunmore ; its gloom, at first, struck us with terror, and almost repressed curiosity—re coverirg the first surprise, however, we .entered boldly, and had not proceeded above one hundred paces, when the supposed statua of the Market Cross presented itself to our view. We quickly perceived that what the people of that place had named as a Market Cross was nothing more than a sparry concretion, formed by the water dropping from the roof of the cave, and by degrees hardening into a figure, which their ideas had formed into a Market Cross. Incited by this extraordinary appearance, we were induced to proceed still further in quest of new adventures in this subterraneous abode ; as we proceeded new wonders of fered themselves, that struck us with the more amazement as we knew them to be mere productions of nature, who, hitherto in solitude, had, in playful moments, dressed the scene as if for her own amusement. Our candles being now all lighted up, and the whole place completely illuminated, never could the eye be pre sented with a more glittering or a more magnificent scene, the whole roof hung with solid icicles transparent as' glass, yet as solid as marble. The eye could scarcely reach the lofty and noble ceiling—the sides were regularly formed with spars, and the whole presented the idea of a rnagnifi cent theatre, illuminated with an immense profusion of lights. The floor, in some parts, consisted of a solid dense of rocks ; and in several places, magnificent columns, thrones and other objects, appeared as if nature had de signed to mock the curiosities of art. After clambering over the immense number of rocks, &c., we arrived at a small spot of level ground, where a delightful spring mur mured through the depths of the hollow cavern, with a ridge of rocks on each side, covered over with green foliage. Our lights being nearly burnt down, obliged us to return, as the shades 'of night appeared, and threatened us in the gloomy cavern. This account of so beautiful and striking a scene may serve to give us some idea of the subterraneous wonders of nature.—Kilkenny Journal. . It is with extreme regret that we announce the death, by suicide, of an English gentleman, under very extra ordinary circumstances. This gentleman, Mr. John Poingdes tre, a merchant, late of Guilford-street, Russell-square, went yesterday .to the Pistol Shooting-ground at Tivoli Gardens, and after having fired six shots at the target, he advanced with the seventh pistol in his hand, to-about the middle of the ground, and then, instead of firing at the mark, he turned his pistol towards his mouth, and shot himself through the head. He survived only about' half an hour, although the ball Was extracted almost immediately by a surgeon, who was sent for as soon as the circumstance occurred. No cause has as yet been assigned for the commission of the deed.—Gdignani. DON CARLOS.—A very strange rumour is cur rent in Paris, and whether well or ill founded, certain it is that, either from that cause or some other, a very extraordinary movement is observed among the people of the police esta blishment. It is said that Don CARLOS has been seen in Paris, and that it turns out that he has been residing in it for the last throe weeks. Ido not believe there is the smallest truth in the report, though it is by no means unlikely to have thrown into the greatest bustle the whole police establishment of the '—Correspondent of a Morning Paper. TUNBRIDGE WELLS, AUG. 2 0.—The races to-clay were graced by the presence of their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, who arrived on the course at two o'clock, and remained until the close of the sports. They were attended by Sir John C onroy , Baroness Lehzen, and Lady Flora Hastings (Lady in Waiting.) A temporary stand, decorated with flowering shrubs and flags, and surmounted by the Royal Arms, was constructed for the accommodation of the Royal party. Besides other fashion a bl es, there were the Earl of Ripon, Earl and Countess De La , varr and family, Sir William and Lady Chatterton, General a n d Miss Bradshaw, Hon. Edmund Byng, Hon. Arthur Thelluson, and Mrs. General - Grosvenor. Their Royal Highnesses have not, we believe, any intention of visiting Ireland this year. It is expected they will remain in comparative retirement at ual verley Park until November. They drink the chalybeate waters daily at the Wells at eight o'clock in the morning, and subse quently take equestrian exercise in the romantic rides with which this pleasant district abounds. The Royal Duchess has presented, through Sir John Conroy, munificent donations to the Institutions of the place. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 23, 1834. We publish from the Eco del Commercin, a Madrid Journal, the particulars of a conspiracy against the Regency, which was discovered in Valencia, with the names of the persons arrested, charged with being the principal conspirators. Among them are several ec clesiastics, to whom the prospect of liberal institu tions, and the downfall of the accursed Inquisi tion, are counterbalances too heavy for even cleri cal zeal in favour of legitimacy, and the " divine right" principle of Spanish regality and loyalty. Conspiracies of the same kind, but less exten sively ramified, and less ably concocted, have been likewise discovered in several districts of Old Cas tile; and in almost every instance where the details have been made public, they were engendered, fostered, and matured by mendicant monks, petty alcades, or governors who dreaded being called to account for their oppressions during the reign of FERDINAND, and chiefs who had wasted their patrimony in dissipation, but which they hoped to recover and augment by the confiscations that would follow a successful re bellion. Spain abounds in .‘ dark spirits" of this latter description. Rome in the days of CATILINE could not turn out a more ferocious band of spend thrift ruffians of good families, reckless from habit, and desperate from necessity. The Monks know the use of these men ; they understand perfectly that human nature never works such wonders as when the passions and the superstitions of men are linked together for good or evil. . When the commission of crime is con verted into a penance for its perpetration—when blood is offered to wash out the stains of blood—and when rebellion is made an atone ment for debauchery in all its disgusting and ruin ous forms, none need wonder that the wicked are zea lots, and th e a b an d one d mo d e l s o f perfect passive obedience. Some of our Contemporaries are edifying the pub lic with more grave than learned comments on the Spanish State documents, relative to the order of suc cession, and the exclusion of Don CARLOS and his posterity from the throne of Spain. We are, however, of opinion that the people of England care very little for what the KING and Cortes decreed in either 1348 or 1713, or i n any subsequent year. W e b e li eve there -Ire few peopl e in this country who think that the order of succession ought not to be set aside whenever the Prince opposes himself to the rights and wishes and interests of his people.

TiE SUN IS NOW THE LARGEST DAILY PAPER IN LONDON. v., 24 ~~'"~( rifn .:,zlllX+ THE SUN, LONDON, SATtTRDAY, AUGUST 23, 1834 and such ought to be the doctrine in Spain, and every other kingdom in the world. And now that we are upon this subject, we would observe that the greatest mistakes have arisen on the Continent with respect to the precise nature of our attachment to legitimacy in the cases of Portugal and Spain. We more than once observed with astonishment, that the portion of the foreign public press in the interest of the rebel Princes addressed all arguments to us, as if the sup port of legitimacy was our sole object, without any reference to concomitant causes. We supported legiti macy,- it is true, because we are of opinion, that without the existence of stern nece;6itv, which may be virtually manifested in the determination of the people, the right of changing the order of succession cannot exist ; but we deprecated the conduct of DONS MIGUEL and CARLOS, because they dared to set aside that right, without, and in defiance of, the uplifted voice of the people of Portugal and Spain. It was the rights of the people we sanctioned, which rights were bound up with the success of Donnas MARIA and ISABELL A, the legitimate Sovereigns of these coun tries. There can be no treason against the Prince if the peace of the country be not endangered, and if no outrage be committed on laws sanctioned and approved of by the people. The causes of our detestation of the royal traitors will . be, in a great measure, found in the words of a celebrated author : " Blast the traitor And his pernicious counsels, who for wealth, For power, the prize of greatness, or revenge, Would plunge his native land in civil wars I" And in this enumeration, of accursed motives to treason are contained the whole causes of the war in the Peninsula, with the exception of an intention, on the part of the Usurpers, of delivering up Portugal and Spain into the grasp of the Holy Alliance. There is a report in circulation, to the effect that France will cross the Spanish frontier, if the insur gents are not completely overpowered, and peace re stored on the Continent, before the termination of a fixed number of days. We have likewise received pri vate intimation, which we await the fulfilment of, that England purposes pursuing a similar line of policy. The only obstacle to this was supposed to be Russia, and the Council of Sovereigns in Vienna ; but the truth is that the Cortes were hitherto opposed to the calling in of foreign aid to quell an insurrection which the generals of the army assured them could be put down in two or three weeks at the utmost, without making any formidable preparation. They now find that RoDIL was too sanguine of his success, and as the affairs of the country had been totally neglected during the latter part of the lifetime of the super stitious imbecile FERDINAND, they are anxious not to have their attention longer distracted, by the clan gor cift rebel arms, from the performance of their legislative duties. And as to the trouble of an effi cient interference on the part of England or France, it would be a mere nothing. Our fleets are rotting, our men idle ; even the handful of troops cruising off the Spanish coast would in three days put an end to the business, without the loss of twenty British soldiers ; for the wretches by whom the war is protracted, are in such a naked, forlorn, and destitute condition, and know so little of the use of arms, that the sight of an accoutred soldier would put fifty of them to flight. The French papers have been received. They are almost wholly taken up with reports of the conflicts in Spain, and the marches, retreats, and defeats of DoN CARLOS. No fewer than three telegraphic despatches were received in Paris, but they were so contradictory, that we cannot give them as authorities to be depended upon. It does not appear that the Minister of the Interior had received any in struction from the Madrid Cabinet, respecting the re moval of the placard, suspending the redemption of the Spanish Guebhard bonds ; nor is the real cause yet known on the Bourse. There is no invention which has done so much for industry in the United Kingdom as that of the steam engine. The uses of steam, however, as the means of conveyance, which promise to be the most extensive of any, are of comparatively recent date. It is not above twenty years ago since steam navigation came into general use. Steam, as the means of c onveyance by land, is of still more recent introduction. We believe the first steam carriages that were used were those upon the Darlington Railway. The use of them upon the Liverpool and Manchester Railway followed, and the example thus set appears to be extending in all parts of the kingdom. Where so much was doing elsewhere by means of steam, it was not to be expected that the metropolis would continue long without the benefit arising from its use. A London and Birming ' ham Railway is making, to be continued to Manches ter ; and though the Bill for the great Western Rail way to Bristol was unfortunately thrown out, yet a Railway Bill from London to Southampton was passed last session. Among other things which the use of steam has taught is, that the meat of an animal killed where it is fed is worth a penny per pound more than the meat of an animal driven from• its place of feeding to be killed at its place of consumption ; while the cost of sending it in a state fit for use is less than the expense incurred in driving it to the place where it is to be slaughtered for use. This result has been the consequence of beef and mutton killed on the east coast of Scotland being sent from thence by steam navigation to London. The practice will he followed in the western counties, when the London and Bir mingham, and Birmingham and Manchester Railways shall be completed. The Warwickshire beef and mutton, if not also the Irish, will thus sell for 101. or 121. per cent. more in the London market than the Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Northamp tonshire, Cambridgeshire, and Norfolk, if these counties do not take the means of availing them selves of this result. We are not, thererefore, surprised to find a railway announced from Lon don to Cambridge, with branches to Hertford and Ware, to be continued to York, joining the Leeds Railway at Selby, and with branches to Not tingham, Sheffield, and Hull, and also to he con tinued to Norwich by Thetford, with a branch to Bury. We venture to say that this will be the most extensively useful of any undertaking of the kind that has yet been thought of—unless, indeed, it be an other railway from London to Shoreham. The course of this railway is short, but through Shoreham it ar rives at the means of steam navigation to every part of the British Channel ; and, if we mistake not, it will supersede the Southampton Railway, by means of steam navigation from Shoreham, even though it were not intended to continue this railway to Portsmouth, and from thence to Southampton. Indeed, we under stand the . Southampton Railway Company intend, after carrying their railway to Basingstoke, to apply for leave to continue it to Bristol ; but. in this they will, of course, be opposed by the Grand Western Railway Company, unless, indeed, both parties ulti mately coalesce. What a contrast does the energy and enterprise, the Intelligence and skill of our peojAe present, to the in ertness and slowness, the obtuseness and remissness, of the Legislature Surely a portion of the industry and activity of the former, cannot fail to be infused into the latter.

Whilst the good people of Brighton, "and of almost every other watering place in the kingdom, complain loudly of the "falling-off" of fashionable company, it may well be ques tioned whether at this period of the year Cheltenham could in any former season boast of a more numerous concourse of per sonages of rank and fashion than may now be seen at the several Pump Rooms in the morning, and at the evening Mu sical Promenades and Balls of the Montpellier Rotunda. At the recent performances for the benefit of the celebrated band of that establishment, there were eight hundred fashionables present, and the Quadrille Ball of last night was one of the gayest and most numerously attended assemblies that has for many months been witnessed here. Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather on Wednesday, and the -consequent forebodings of continued rain yesterday, the clouds dispersed before noon, and a clear bright sky and unclouded sunshine heightened the enjoyment of the Public Breakfast at Pittville. The entertainment was got up in excellent style by Mr. Seymour, whose exertions on the occasion were rewarded by the perfect success of the fete, which was altogether arranged in a manner that would do cre dit to the most eminent caterers of the West End ; and up wards of five hundred of the beau monde participated in the festivities and pleasures of the gay scene. At the conclusion of a very sumptuous repast, in which every delicacy and luxury of the season graced the board, a well-selected Quadrille Band gave " note of preparation," and the votaries of pleasure " tripped it on the light fantastic toe" till nearly five o'clock. Amongst the many other attractive amusements of this highly-favoured town, the theatre is very liberally patronised, as it deserves to be, under the judicious and spirited management of Mr. Spencer. " Gustavus" was produced on Monday even ing, and with an attention to musical and scenic effect, cos tume, decOrations, &c. which we very seldom see attempted in provincial theatres. The house was crowded, and the piece announced for repetition amidst the most cheering applause. Amongst our recent arrivals are the Marquis and Mar chioness of Thomond, the Bishops of Gloucester and Here ford, Lords Fitzgerald, Seagrave, Louraine, Hon. W.

Dover Doncaster Shrewsbury Oswestry Upton-upon-Severn ( Brecon Lincoln Heaton Park I Walsall Wrexham Newmarket 2O Beverley 29 WESTMINSTER SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. CON ST and a fill' Bench of Magistrates.) Maria Ailing was indicted for stealing five blankets, four Sheets a bolster, two • pillows, bed furniture, a carpet, two shirts, and various articles, the property of Joseph Paybody. Mrs. Paybody deposed she was the wife of a butcher in Clue-market. In .lay last the prisoner, - and a man who passed as her husband, took ready-furnished lodgings in her house, where she lived up to Tuesday last; the man turned out to be no husband of the. prisoner's, and had not been much there for the last moUth. On Tuesday the witness missed a shirt and some other things from her own room, and on going into the prisoner's to ask her for them, she found that the room was literally stripped. She taxed the prisoner with the theft, and she at once said she had pawned them through distress. She gave up the duplicates to. the officer. The police officer 8 F corroborated the other witness, and the pawnbroker produced the whole of the property, which was identified by the prosecutrix. The prisorier said she could give no other account of the matter than she had done before ; she was driven to do so through distress. In answer to a question from a Magistrate, she said she for merly lived as a servant, and was 25 years of age. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, but strongly recom mended her to mercy. The CHAIRMAN said the case was a very bad one, but still there were some palliating circumstances. In his opinion the man ought to have stood in her place. The judgment of the Court was, that she be imprisoned in the House of Correction for fourteen days. Ellen Drew and Ann Bennet, two cyprians, were indicted for stealing a watch, value 31., and three handkerchiefs, the property of William Watkins. The prosecutor stated, that he was a grcom. On the Bth of August, he was at Astley's Theatre, and on coming over Westminster-bridge, he met the prisoner Bennett, with whom he went home, and in her room found the other prisoner Drew. He stopped all night, and in the morning he found that both prisoners had gene off along with the property named - . He gave notice of the robbery to the police. Police Constable 92 B was applied to by last witness, and upon getting the description of the girls at once, knew them to be the prisoners. He took Drew first, and upon her found tie silk handkerchief. He afterwards took Bennet on the morning of the robbery, and beneath her pillow found the other two handkerchiefs. • She denied all knowledge of the watch, but it was found, pawned for 11. in Wesminster road. The pawnbroker deposed that he took it in from Bennet. Verdict—Guilty, and Bennet sentenced to six months, and Drew to two months hard labour in the House of Correction. Mary Donoughough, an old Irishwoman, was indicted for a desperate assault upon Elizabeth Evans, by which her life was placed in imminent danger. The prosecutrix stated that the prisoner was a lodging house keeper—that is, she occupied a garret, in which she fitted up four beds for letting out. On the morning of the 11th July she lodged with the prisoner, who had a grandson who had a cut finger, which he said was done by a bit of china ; he however laid down a knife which had been taken from her box. She then called him a little blackguard, and blamed the pri soner for encouraging him in such things. No more passed then, when the witness went out. In the evening she returned about six o'clock, when she found prisoner and two other women in liquor. Not wishing to have any row she went out till nine o'clock, and then returned, intending to go to bed. The prisoner then brought up the story of the knife, but witness would not - say anything about it, as she knew the woman was all out of her when the drink was in. Without saying more she struck at her, saying " Take that with you," and witness felt that, she was cut on the head. She cried out Murder 1" and ran down stairs, when she . lost all conscious ness. A lodger on the first floor met her on the stairs and took her into her room, where she fainted. She lost upwards of three pints of blood from the head. A certificate from a surgeon was put in and read, which stated that for several days her life was despaired of. The policeman that was called in took the prisoner into custody, and found a cleaver on the floor, which was marked with blood. full an inch and a half up. On the way to the station-house she said she did not care for wh a t s h e h a d d one ; she wished she had killed the woman. The prisoner, in her defence, said the prosecutrix had been drunk for three days, and was so on the occasion alluded to, when she fell upon the fender and cut her head. The CHAIRMAN, in addressing the jury, said it was the most serious case that had been presented to their attention, and indeed was one that ought to have been taken to another place. With the alteration of two or three words the indict ment would have made the offence a capital one, and certainly he had not seen a case for a long time so deserving of being brought under Lord Ellenborough's Act. He then went over the evidence, and the jury, after a moment's consideration, returned a verdict of guilty. The CIIAIRMAN said to the prisoner that she had been very fortunate in being tried there, and that she had not to suffer the last penalty of the law. The judgment of the Court was, that she be imprisoned one year in the House of Correction, and be kept to hard labour. The business being all over, the jury were discharged.

RELIGIONV. RADICALISM.—Mr. Baron Vaughan, on opening the Denbighshire Summer Assizes, in his address to the Grand Jury said—" It was particularly gratifying to him, who had travelled all the circuits in England, and who had seen crime abounding to so frightful an extent in many counties there, that last winter he alone had tried 300 prison ers ; it was most gratifying to reflect, that he had hitherto tried only three prisoners on this circuit. In travelling through this principality he had been delighted to observe the religion, mo rality, and loyalty of its inhabitants, and those happy results which naturally flowed from them—peace, contentment, and good order."

If the same calculation is carried on to twelve months, it will appear that in that space of time the press brings forth 5,760 new works, compris ing 32,318 volumes, and if of these 500 copies are thrown off, they make '26,208,000 sheets. One of the last numbers of • the State Gazette of Turkey contains, for the first time, advertisements of the put iication by subscription of Turkish literary works.

The Lives of the Muftis, by Soliman Seadeddin Ben Mom- Tried, celebrated under the name of Massakim Efendisade." This work was written in 1774. And " The Lives of the Reis Effendis, by Reis Effendi Ahmed Resmi." It is to be continued to 1807, by Soliman Faik. The workmen taking down the residence of the treasurer of Chichester Cathedral, for the purpose of rebuild ing, a few days since, dug up an antique spur, and a coin of William and Mary; and in a piece pf timber were found six thin brass coins, three about the diameter of the late eighteen penny tokens, the smaller the size of a shilling. They have legends on both sides, the characters of which are of the Ro man form, but are too much abbreviated to lead to any other surmise than that they either from German or Dutch mints. No date appears on them, but within the circle formed by the legend on the obverse side is an orb, surmounted by a cross, and on the reverse a rose in the centre, with four celestial c rowns.—Lewes Paper. RACES LITERATURE. Q UIiRTERL 1' REVIEW No. CIII. _London, 18 , We cannot but regret that the essay on the g Of Coleridge did not appear in this ReJieS~', at least a year f.anee. It might then have soothed the declinin to years, and imp ar t e d a cor di a l and refreshing gals' the broken epirits of the living ; it can now btlt the coldly and unavailingly, to: gild the memo r y nf om dead. At the very time when it was being without a the very time when its author (and not p rove show of justice) was tasking his h f _est _acuities to p that Coleridge was one of the leading s pirits 0 t . age—famed for the lofty, enlightened tone of his . p 8, losophy—the purity, grace, and subtlety of his 11° the gmation—the vast range of his scholarship, an d Objec t full, ever -flowing stream-of his eloquence,—the .sea Writ:the of all this eulogy was lying on his death-bed, °PP re ' er by poverty, oppressed by infirmities ; his secoetY. his death a natter of perfect indifference to that ‘rnfr'ile of which he was so undoubted an t. o rnamen . t genius that should have disappeared likec ome luminary, rivetting all eyes on its movements, gre w and went out like a lamp in a deserted.temple7, been however, that can now be done for Coleridge, . 3 a done in the essay before us, which is penn ed ', ln a cordial and eulogistic, but acute and discrimin'i of spirit. It treats of him in his two-fold capacitY;4, philosopher and-poet, and in both finds abundant, sons for wonder and admiration. Speaking of lion , a talker—the pride . of the domestic circle —it 59 c s ; of " Perhaps our readers may have heard repeated a d s o 3 n ) c o l o• e: Mr. Wordsworth, that many men of this age had derful things, as Davy, Scott, Cuvier, &c. ; but that et" iag, 0 , ridge was the only wonderful man he ever knew. So c,f course, must be allowed in this, as in all other such cases, for the antithesis ; but we believe the fact really to bo, the greater part of those who have occasionally v isited a t Coleridge ; have left him with a feeling akin to the )ntigli.neore indicated in the above remark. They admire th e man ; than his works, or they forget the works in the absorbio,rhoso pression made by the living author. And no wo nder. . 1 , ik who remember him in his more vigorous days, can be :g s c c er . ness to the peculiarity and transcendant power of his e )„ . 01 3 sational eloquence. It was unlike anything that could be fflea t, elsewhere; the kind was different, the degree So ps di .p` a ti6e the manner was different: The boundless range of s c ,t at ioo, knowledge, the brilliancy and exquisite nicety of iti es "., s it; the deep and ready reasoning, the strangeness and irli, lll l,o of bookish lore—were not all% the dramatic „story , tn e ,; c le' the pun, the festivity, must be added--and with these t '' t 'brol' rical-looking dress, the thick waving silver hair, the yo.u. k yet coloured cheek, the indefinable mouth and lips, t he cl , Ico ll , - 1 steady and penetrating greenish grey eye, the slow toa„.3,' tinuous enunciation,_ and the everlasting music of his tr i Pre' went to make up the image, and to constitute the Ih'l9° sence of the man." ^_ • 11 - 1 , it 11 , " Mr. Coleridge's conversation, it is true, has ° o• the brilliant versatility of his former years;yet wens P-c)nd whether the contrast between his bodily weakne 51-0151 y mental power does not leave a deeper and a mer i e , s ,,i y 5 ill affecting impression, than his most triumphant w s r 3 01 0 ' youth could ever have done.
