CiAO *- Wfl gil) " t w t -7 • 1 / 2 ti -? - 2 ,,v..- k, - 4 -..; . LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 23, 1856. Why are the QUEEN'S loving subjects to be de prived of the pleasure they had anticipated in witnessing the prorogation of Parliament by her MAJESTY in person ? This is a question which bas been asked by many, and we doubt not will become the subject of general comment throughout the country. The omission is the more remark able, considering what a capital opportunity the ceremony offered for introducing her MAJESTY'S Royal guests—the Prince and Princess of PRUSSIA and their daughter—to the atmo sphere of a free deliberative assembly. True these royal personages take their departure to morrow, but surely they might have been pre vailed upon to stay to witness so interesting a spectacle. The deference paid to the feelings of German and other despots at our Court is noto rious. Can it be that the same kindly considera tion which withheld all pressure of invitation to NAPOLEON to visit our legislative assemblies has again been exercis3d, though with a refine ment of delicacy in the present instance, and knowing that everything constitutional is unpleasant to the German eye and ear her MAJESTY has been advised not merely to refrain from request in; their attendance, but from going herself, lest their absence should afford occasion for comment ? It cannot be that her MAJESTY is reluctant to meet her faithful Lords and Commons. It would rouse the entire nation to the many evils brought about by the Coburgian Austro - Prussian intervention which patched up " the Precious Peace," if ono so startling as this were to 'be added. Some explanation is surely necessary. Her MAJESTY has abundance of time to attend. at a succession of reviews- and yet at the close of the War declines dismissing in person the High Court of Parliament ! There is as yet, we fear, but little hope for Spain ! The conspiracy against the Constitution was too artfully contrived—the preparations for the movement, instigated by O'DorzsEtt, too elaborate to give the betrayed parties any rea sonable prospect of SUCC3SS. The banner of the Constitution, however, still floats on the walls of Saragossa, and although the reports may be un favourable while that banner is displayed, the good cause cannot be considered as completely overthrown. There has been fearful treachery and duplicity exhibited towards ESPARTERO and the majority of his colleagues—treachery manifested not only by the new Minister who was so`deeply indebted to the man whose power he destroyed, but by the SOVEREIGN who owed her Throne to bis exertions. It is to be feared that it was not Spaniards only who were concerned in these sinister intrigues. The name of the Marquis DE TURGOT is bandied about in a very unpleasant manner, and it is more than hinted that he has taken a prominent part in bringing about the act of perjury and treachery, miscalled a coup d,etat. Whe ther ho misled his Government is a more doubtful matter. It may be convenient for the Cabinet of the Tuileries to have a convenient scapegoat whom they can throw overboard at short notice; but we fear that their sympathies THE SUN, LONDON; MONDAY EVEN!

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.-July 26. (FROM OUR OWN C3ItRESPONDENT.) Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and tha and Prin cess of Prussia drove through our High-street in an open phaeton on Saturday afternoon. As the Royal party were waiting for the arrival of another carr:age from Osborne, .vith the Princess Riyal and attendants, they proceeded eery slowly, passing acrois the Parade to Egypt, thence tiy Dottens Farm to Newport, and returned to Osborne oy the East Cowes road. The Qaeen, Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, the Princess Alice, the Prince and Princess of Prussia, and suite, attended Divine service at Whipping ham church this morning. The church was so crowded that many ladies could not reach farther than the porch. ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGDNOL—COMMO dare the Earl of Wilton arrived in the roads on Saturday afternoon in the Zara. This being his first visit this season, he wa; saluted from the R.Y.S.

INSURRECTIONARY MOVEMENTS IN ITALY. TURIN, SATURDAY, JULY 26. An insurrectionary movement was attempted last night in the duchy of Masta-Carrara. * The particulars are not known here yet. The telegraphic wires thence are broken. TURIN, MONDAY MORNING. The movement at Massa has been completely suppressed. Only about 60 persons crossed from the Sardinian territory ; 20 were arrested on the 'rontier. The telegraphic communication has been re. e4tablished. The duchy of Massa-Carrara belongs to the Duke of Modena, whose estates touch the frontier of Parma. THE OVERLAND MAIL• We learn by telegraph that the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship Valetta, W. Roberts master, with the India and China mails, from Alexandria, arrived at Mar seilles this morning, Monday, July 28, at 7 a.m. The mails were to leave at 9 a.m. SPAIN. The Moniteur of yesterday publishes the follow. ng article on the" recent events in Spain : "We have watched with interest the recent events in Spain, and we have approved them to a certain extent, as we fancied we discovered ,herein a favourable chance for establishing the Constitutional Government on a firm basis ; for France, which represents in Europe the ideas of 1789, can entertain no other wish than that of beholding a neighbouring State, in whose prospe rity she takes a deep interest, avoid anarchy or despotism—those two shoals so dangerous to pro gress and liberty ; and, as the Espartero Ministry did not seem to possess either the power to pre vent excesses or the requisite energy to lead a groat country, it is natural to hail with sympathy a change of a nature to consolidate the throne of Isabella 11. " Some foreign journals, blinded by their un warranted preference for a name, have called a coup d'etat that which was simply a resignation of Ministers, accepted purely aad simply by the Queen after reiterated fefusals. If the resig nation.had been that 'of O'Dminell they would have found it perfectly constitutional. Party spirit should never misrepresent things to such an ex tent, and thereby endeavour to mislead public opinion. "The condition of Spain had been deplorable for two years ; that great country, for so long a time the arbiter of Europe, whose alliance but recently was eagerly sought for, had sunk into insignificance. It had neither finances, nor army, nor commerce, nor administration, nor influence abroad. In this difficult position ambitious men, instead of endeavouring to give strength to what existed, attempted to overthrow it, either by flattering the passions of the mob or by attempt ing to realise dangerous utopias. The disorders which have agitated Spain for the last few years must be attributed to the fatal idea of certain Ministers, four years since, to make a coup d'etat, when Spain was tranquil and prosperous, and when there was no cogent reason to urge them to make a sudden change in the laws of the kingdom. " For a coup d'etat to be legitimate in the eyes of posterity it must be justified by a supreme necessity, and be regarded by all men as the sole means of saving tho country. " We know those who dreamt of coups d'etat not with a view to modify some institutions, but to subvert the throne or change the dynasty, either by uniting Portugal to Spain under the House of Braganza, or by establishing a regency. We there fore give credit (nous lui savons gre) to Marshal O'Donnell for having attempted, without a coup d'etat, to restore order in Spain, the first and indispensable basis of liberty. We give him due credit for having during the first moment of anarchy devoted all his care to the reform of the Spanish army, as well in a moral as in a material point of view ; for it did not suffice to reform bat talions and squadrons—it - was essentially neces sary to give to soldiers who are as brave as they are capable of great things the only mainsprings for the maintenance of an army, duty and fidelity to the Sovereign, and discipline. " Let us hope, then, that the recent changes will put an end to those coups d'etat and to those baneful pronunciamentos, for it is our sincere desire that Spain, which contains so many ele ments of strength and prosperity, should resume, in the midst of quiet, the rank which is her due, instead of descending to the level of certain Re publics of South America, where neither patriot ism, nor civic virtues, nor high principle are to he found, but only a few Generals who dispute the power with the help of soldiers led astray by empty promises. The Moniteux also publishes the following items of intelligence : BARCELONA, JULY 24. The Consul-General of France to his Excel lency the Minister of Foreign Affairs : We have just learned that General Ruiz, the commandant of Gerona, has evacuated that town. He was only followed by a company of chasseurs of the national militia. It is not known what direction he has taken. Catalonia is therefore freed from revolutionists. The militia of little localities hasten everywhere to give up their arms. PERPIGNAN, JULY 26 Affairs : inst : The Trefeet of the Eastern Pyrenees has sent the following despatch to his Excellency the Mi nister for Foreign Affairs : The events iu Catalonia continue to be more and more favourable to the cause of the Queen. The revolutionary junta of Gerona is dissolved, consequent, it is said, on the arrival of the troops of Rosai. General Ruiz has fled to France, as well as the Deputy Henriquez Clement, one of the leaders of the insurrection. Discouragement and disorganisation were making rapid progress in the ranks of the insurgent militia. ST. SEBASTIAN, JULY 26. The French Consul has sent the following des patch to his Excellency the Minister fur Foreign General Echague is still at Alagon, near Sara gossa. He has established a telegraph-office, and communicates with us. The insurgents of Sara gossa have demanded a suspension of hostilities for five days ;it has been granted. Brigadier Smid has waited upon General Echague. He is to bring over some of the troops desirous of sub mitting. Great discouragement prevails at Saragossa. The truth is beginning to make itself known. These advices are of the 25th. To-day, the 26th, the General informs me of the surrender of Jaca. The garrison has been relieved and the Governor changed. Other advices received at Paris announce the arrival of General Duke before Saragossa. Our accounts from Madrid are of the 23d The Gazette publishes the following official de spatch from Barcelona :-- "The moment intelligence of the change of Ministry reach6d Barcelona the extreme Rattles began to raise their heads. The agitation redoubled when the rebellion of Saragcssa became known, and it was then evident that a collision N,asimminent. Daring the night of the 17th s,r;ous symptoms o' disorder were observed. In the evening of the 18th the movement broke oaf, a portion of the national militia joining in it. The de monstrations, twice repeated by the troops to induce the armed groups to disperse, being attended with no result, the military authorities were under the ainful necessity of repelling force by force. The leArri cades erected in the streets del Conde, del Asalto, and de la Union, which led to the Rambla, were carried and destroyed, and their defenders driven from position to position to the gates of the city. They then sought re fuge in the suburbs ; an,d at the departure of the mail, on the 19th, they were surrounded by the troops. The rebels suffered severely." The following despatch is also published by the C azette " The Captain-General of Valencia writes, under date 21st, one o'clock p.m. Brigadier Planas defeated on the 19th the insurgents of Reuss and disarmed the National Guard of the town. Tranquillity is completely restored in the province of Tarragona. At .Cartbagena •the dis cipline and loyalty of the troops prevented a popular movement. The Governor of the city, General Ping, refused to obey the Government, but Col. Teran, who commands the regiment of Valencia, agburned the go vernment of the place in the name of the Queen. At Albacete tranquillity is reestablished, and the portion of the national militia which effected the pronuncia mento is being disarmed. Nothing new occurred in other districts sub3equently to my despatch of yes terday." PORTUGAL. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY MORNING. The Baganza, steamer, has arrived with Lisbon letters of the 22d inst. The country was perfectly tranquil, and no fears were entertained of its imitating the comthotions in Spain. The following is a translation of the King of Portugal's speech upon closing the Cortes at Lisbon on the 19th inst. : _ _ " Worthy Peers and Gentlemen Deputies of the Por tuguese Nation,—At the moment of closing the session, the last of the present Legislature, I have again come to testify how much I appreciate being in the centre of the national representatives in order to signify to you my satisfaction at the zeal you have mani fested in the fulfilment of your important legislative functions. The causes which gave rise to the change of Ministry at the beginning of June are well known to you. Convinced that increased facilities of corn ' munication by means "of good roads and of railroads is now as imperious a necessity as it was always of the highest convenience, you did not hesitate to vote the sup plies which my Goiernment proposed for that object. I thank you, and trust that my wishes and your own will be fulfilled by the uninterrupted progress of public works, upon the largest possible scale, in order that the country may in the shortest possible period enjoy the immense benefits resulting therefrom. The harvestthis year do not promise to be better than the last. I hope, however, that from the measures you have adopted to attenuate the evil, and above all, by the favour of Divine Providence, we may be enabled to pass the ordeal without seriously suf fering its terrible consequences. I deeply deplore that the cholera merbus should have again afflicted the capital and other parts of the kingdom. P, however, con tinues to diminish in gravity, which fortunately never became very alarming, and every care has been, and still is, taken to diminish its ravages by the prompt succour of those requiring it. It is pleasing to me to announce to you that the public tranquillity has been maintained in all points of the kingdom. " Worthy Peers and Gentlemen, Deputies of the Portu guese Nation,—l am fully assured that during the interval of your Parliamentary labours you will still con tinue to render most valuable services, fortifying the people in the spirit of conciliation and tolerance, and in xospect and obedience to the law." The Session closed on the 23d inst. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, JULY 23. A few days since (probably on Saturday, the 19th) the Austrian Government forwarded another note tcl the Neapolitan Government. • The lan guage employed by the. Austrian 'CroveYtiment in the note in question was " extremely urgent,", but still the prevalent opinion, ill' high political_ circles,' , ' is, that little or no attention will be paid. by the Naples Cabinet to the representations of Count Buol. A strange report has been in circulation , for some days past that the King of Naples enter tains some idea of abdicating in favour of his son, ' Prince Francis, who is now in his 21st year. LORD EBRINGTON. The public will learn with regret the affliction 'that has befallen the noble lord in the course of investiga tions made in the cause of suffering humanity. Having in connection with the late severe mortality of the army had his attention called to the deplorable condition of many of the military hospitals at home, even of those in the metropolis, he determined to bee and examine them himself with the view of bringing them under the consideration of the Legislature, upon a motion of which he had given notice. He visited several of them and conversed with many of the suffering soldiers. In com miseration of the patients he prolonged his stay in one foul ward where anumber were afflicted with ophthalmia. Shortly after this visit he was himself attacked with purulent ophthalmia of the rnobt virulent and agonising character in both eyes. For a lung time there was immi nent danger of the entire loss of sight. By the unre mitting attention and skill of Mr. White Cooper the use of one of the injured eyes has been preserved, but on Saturday for the relief and safety of that one, it was found necessary by him, with the sanction and in the presence of Sir Benjamin Brodie, to perform an opera tion for the removal of a tumour , by which his lord ship, after very prolonged suffering, is permanently de prived of the use of the other eye. He and his family may be consoled by the assurance that the suffering and the permanent injury and disfigurement sustained in such a cause will everywhere excite strong sympathy. INTELLIGENCO OF DR. LIVINGSTON, THE AFRICAN TRAVELI.EIi. The Secretary of the Admiralty begs to transmit for insertion in The &cm the accompanying copy of a des patch received from Commodore Trotter, at the Cape of Good Hope, containing intelligence of Dr. Livingston, the African traveller.

" On the death of Mr. M'Clune, Mr. Warr, master's assistant, the only remaining executive officer besides the gunner, being very ill of fever, and not acquainted with the exact orders under which Mr. M'Clune had been acting, and being ignorant, therefore, of the discre tionary orders which I had given to that officer in regard to waiting for Dr. Livingston, and knowing that the Dart had already delayed sevea weeks longer than under ordinary circumstances would have been justifiable, did not prolong his stay so long as be might have done, which is much to be regretted, as Dr. Livingstone was BO near at hand.

(Signed) " DAVID LIVINGSTON." are all on the side of the reactionaries, and that they will be prepared to throw off the mask, and to hanrd a direct interference, should there be any necessity for 'so decided a step, and should O'DoNNELL int be enabled to succeed with the merely moral support that has been p:' w=ised. The formation of the so-called army of observa tion of 25,000 men, on the line of the Pyrenees, bears a very significant aspect. It cannot be re garded in any light save as a menace of interven tion, and assurances have doubtless already been riven, both at Paris and Madrid, to show that the O'DONNELL party have nothing to dread from the demonstration. But if any doubt could be entertained on this point it must be completely set at rest, by a senii•ofl'icial article that appeared in the Moniteur of yesterday, and which will be found in another part of this day's impression. The disguise hitherto maintained has there been deliberately cast aside. There is an affectation of a desire to witness "the establishment of a constitutional Go vernment, on a firm basis," but the cloven foot is speedily exhibited in all its naked deformity, by the assertion that "as the ESPARTERO Ministry did not seem to possess either the power to pre vent excesses, or the requisite energy to lead a great country, it is natural to hail with sympathy a change of a nature to conselidate the Throne of ISABELLA II." This is mounting the O'DONNELL colours with ' a vengeance. There can no longer be any mis take as to the nature of the instructions for warded to the discreet and obedient editor of the Ministerial organ. Louis NAPOLEON has damned himself for ever in the ofhion not only of every true heartedl Englishman, but of every friend of civilised and religious liberty in the world. The credit(!) given to Mar shal O'DONNELL for having attempted, without a coup d'etat, to restore order in Spain— " the first and indispensable basis of liberty" —is unfortunately too decisive. It is needless to say to any English reader that the disorderlies were those invoking the name of order—that matters were perfectly peaceable at Madrid and throughout Spain until the vile pro ject was hatched of setting aside the Constitution —the only foundation on which rested the Throne of ISABELLA. If.—and establishing a despotism on ruins. It was, however, scarcely becoming on the part of Louis NAPOLEON to permit the mouthpiece of his Ministry to speak quite so contemptuously of public opinion and the vox populi. It is to one of those baneful " pronunciamentos," no* „'"to --earnestly deprecated, - that he .owes 'the ,position which he occupies, and the power of exercising the most trivial info etito,s : aver, the affairs. of Europe. He is, indeed, ,greatly changed since the time when the plaudits uf,„_,tho assembled myriads greeted his visit to the Briti'Sh metropolis— . "ileu, qudatum mutatus ab illo Hectare." Ho is now the ally of despotism, the earnest oppo ' rent of Constitutional liberty. He has apparently aspired to play the role formerly filled by the Czar Nrcnoras, and to render himself the sup porter of every would-be Autocrat. It is well, however, that the true state of affairs should be recognised—that France and Europe should be awakened from the delusion so long indulged in, and that Lours NAPOLEON BUONAPARTE should be exhibited, even at the eleventh hour, in his true colours. The sneer at "Republics" scarcely comes well from him, or from those professing to act under his inspiration ; but still it is well to know even the direction to which his wishes tend—that Liberals and Constitutionalists may learn that in place of a friend and well-wisher, they have in the Emp..-tor of the FRENCI a foe more formidable than either Czar or Kaiser, and one against whose machinations it is neces sary to guard with the utmost vigilance. AUSTRALIA. The royal mail ship Oliver Lang, Capt. Mondell, arrived in the Mersey yesterday forenoon, from Melbourne, with advices to the 2d of May, 260 pas sengers, and 60,000 ounces of gold. She had also on board 500 bales of wool and.sBo tons of copper ore. The mail ships Sardinian and Joseph Tarrant had arrived at Melbourne from Liverpool, and the Ilil.ja from Greenock at Sydney. The Royal Charter was to sail for Liverpool May 25, and was expected to carry an unusually large amount of specie. The Walmer Castle was to sail from Melbourne for London May 15. Increased productiveness was the characteristic feature of the gold. field. Progress and good order were prevalent at all the gold districts. The weeklylaverage of the receipts of gold at Melbourne was Lie.rlv 60,000 ounces. Gold at Melbourne was worth 31. 16s. 3d. per ounce. The Melbourne Markets have been steady, with out much change in prices. In some articles there has been a good deal of speculation owing to the news of the peace negotiations—indeed many per sons look forward to another glut and another crisis at no distant date. Inquiries for agricultural and for all kinds of unskilled labour have been on the increase, and the numbers offering have not been anything like equal to the demand. Female servants scarce, and much wanted. Wool was advancing in value, owing to the fa vourable accounts of prices from England per Royal Charter. The tallow market was flat, and prices nominal. Freights nominal, there being but little export trade. GENBRAL BhATSUN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE IUN. SIR,—I request you will do me the favour to publish the accompanying letters, in the hope that the Minister for War, and those who act under his guidance, may profit by the opinions of two of the ablest officers in the Britisn army.—l am sir, your obedient servant, W. F. BEATSON, Lieut.• General. 4, Lower Grosvenor•place, July 26, 1856. " 112, Eaton-square, July 25, 1856. " My dear Beatson—The enclosed letter was addressed to me, as you will see by the signature, by one of the noblest of spirits, as well as one of the mast experienced and brilliantly distinguished of our war officers. " Should you give publicity to the sentiments therein expressed, and any person or persons alluded to be de sirous to know the name of my gallant friend, I shall be happy to communicate it to him or them. " I hold it to be undeniable that no man of honour can make or forward a ()barge morally affecting an offi cer, without, at the same time, affording him an oppor tunity of immediately refuting it in case he may have it in his power to disprove the imputation. Honour and hcnesty, therefore, demand that no tune should be lost in transmitting to the accused a copy of the charges, toge ther with the name of his accuser. " Acting on the above principle, l addressed the as sembled officers of a corps I commanded, and in which the present War Minister was serving under my orders, to the following effect : "'You are aware, gentlemen, that a commanding officer is required confidentially to report at the halt yearly inspections regarding the efficiency and condect of the officers of the regiment ; but I beg you may rest assured that I never shall make a report in any manner unfavourable to an officer without us, pr.vinuely: Waeing a copy of it in his hands ; and no oue shall know any thing of it from me except the person to whom I may report and the officer against whom I may make a re port.' "Such is the principle on which all honourable men act ; and in regard to the accusations of anonymous cowardly assassins, men of honour either commit them to the flames or hand them over to the person accused, on the chance of hii being able to detect and drag the vile miscreant from the lurking den of slander in which the wretch of a coward shelters himself. " Ever, my dear Beatson, "Your truly sincere, "D. M‘DouGALL." (Signed) (Copy.) " ' My dear Sir Duncan,—lt is difficult to express the disgust with which I read the debate, and still more the votes, in the house, on Beatson's case. " But it appears to me that his friends did not suffi ciently tackle the quibbling of Peel and Palmerston about the anonymous malice of the accusation. " General Shirley was not the accu;er, but the re porter of the accusations. The real accuser is still anonymous. Why was he not brought out ! " The Government is even now proceeding on anony mous information. General Beatson does not know who his accuser is " The Minister of War should have been pinned to this course. "'General Vivian received an accusation, not anony mous for him, but anonymous for Lord Panmure. The latter rhould then have demanded the name, and in stantly told Beatson of the accusation and the name of his accuser. Inquiry could then have been made for further proceedings Honestly. " But with such a House of Commons our lives and honour are no more safe than with the Venetian Council." gg "Cardinal Wiseman (gays n letter from Vichy), yield ing to the solicitations of a Lumber of ecclesiastics col lected here at present, as well as of the Bishop of Moulins, consented to deliver an address on the occasion of the fete of St. Vincent de Paul. He spoke on Saturday laiit before upwards of 2,000 persons assembled in the court of the ho-pital, and produced a great effect. He pronounced the panegyric of the great apostle of France, and represented him as the greatest reformer of society of modern times, and the roost intelligent interpreter of the doctrines of Christianity. For an hour and a half the cardinal held the crowd absorbed by his words, and at the end WAS loudly applauded.", Recollections of the last Half Century. By the Rev. J. Richardson, LL.B. Two vols. C. Mitchell. Dr. Richardson, of The Times, is the very man to fasten upon one, effectually, by the buttonhole when once he has fairly made up his mind to ad venture upon the outpouring of his curious and motley Recollections. All the bassoon playing in the world can't lure us from his revelations. Like the Wedding Guest we "needs must hear." The Rev. LL.B. " hath his will." His Recollections, too, extend over half a century—the reminiscent " hearking back" to his teens—and amusing us with memories of. the most motley kind imagin able, some Political, some Literary, some Dra matic, and others Miscellaneous. A veritable Olio of Gossip ! A collection of appetising ingre dients in the way of amusing chit-chat, com prising, among other things (the very title page pleasantly forewarns us) " anecdotes and notes of persons of various ranks prominent in their vocations, with whom the writer was per sonally acquainted." Observe !—" persons of various ranks prominent in their vocations." Are they not ? Why, the celebrated confabulation ranging from Shakspere to tke musical glasses, was nothing to it. Don't we " hear tell" in the amazing area of this volunteer Remembrancer, not of the City merely, but of the Country also pretty generally—don't we hear tell in this amazing area sundry marvels uttered almost in the same breath, about Miss Bithn, that horrible limbless abortion, who so far appears to have resembled an elephant, that her principal characteristic seems to have been her " trunk," and about " Caroticl•artery cutting Castlereagh, Whose pen-knife cut a goosequill t'other day." About Liston, the • surgeon, and Liston, the far ceux ? About Burke, the Orator, and Burke, the Deaf 'un ? About the " celebrated clown" (sic in Index) Mr. Bradbury, and Edmund Kean, the Tragedian ? The monstrosities both in the way of unnatural actors and natural phenomena " figuring away", as George Cruikshank would have it, in these pages is, according to the expres sive phraseology of Samuel Slick . of Slickville, " cautionary—that's a fact !" Insomuch that the two volumes appear to us in their way to be in a manner the Richardson's Show of Literature. In it don't we have appropriately a tolerable sprinkling, of the raw head and bloody bones by means of allu sion, here, to the murder of Eliza Grimwood, there, to the suicide of the first Marquis of Londonderry ? Are we not regaled with allusionsnow to Tom Thumb the mannikin, now to Jacko the man-monkey ? Verily the work before us may, without exaggera tion, we repeat, be designated simply, but expres sively, the Richardson's Show of Literature. Walk up Ladies and Gentlemen, and you shall see what you shall see—a full, true, and particular account of this person, that person, and the other, the no torieties, the celebrities, and the monstrosities of the last half century. You shall hear all about the Tavern kept in Wych-street once upon a time by Mark Lemon, the Editor of Punch ! All about the prigging of rare prints from the British Mu seum by Dighton, the Caricaturist I All about Beau Brummell's gormandising All about [ Mr. Frost, the insurgent, and Mrs. Fry, the philanthropist ! All about Fauntleroy the forger and other interesting criminals too numerous to particularise ! All about such people as the Char lies and such others as the Resurrectionists Dr. Richardson has a fine eye for a fault, and a won ' derful capaoity for nosing a delinquency. An y bod y alrilest he mentions, he can tell you the weak side of astonishing accuracy, ifr he introduceS -:Dr.-Parr, the great. Greek: scholar, he shows him Up to us in a beastly state of intoxication. If he spe , oifies among his contemporaries at Eton the "Poet of Poets," as he has been • called, Percy Shelley; he dogs so after this • exceed nig droll fashion : speaking of him as one the memory of whom "is fast sinking in vion it deserves"--adding—"l- allude to Shelley called the Poet." Now this we really take to be about the funniest thing in all Dr. Richardson's " Recollections." Here, however, is his sketch of Shelley "called the Poet"—Percy Shelley,in other words the " Poet of Poets"—vide the Art. " Shel ley" in Charles Knight's Penny EnCyclopeadia. Says Dr. R., however, of his illustrious Eton con temporary : " Mr. Shelley commenced his literary labours at a very early age. He produced, whilst at Eton, a sort of romance. The bulk of the volume was not very great, and I believe the price of it was only sixpence. The quality was an exaggeration of raw-head and bloody bones' Von horror's head horror accumulated,' and hero, heroine, , assistants, and subordinates were in turn, or rather all together, the victims of wilful murder under the most revolting circumstances. The author was at this time a wild looking, slovenly, dirty, uncouth hobbe dyhoy,. and certainly gave no promise of those perfec tions which, rightly or wrongly, as people's taste may decide, his admirers affirmed he possessed." Droll, that, isn't it? Tumbling down, however, from the Tritons to the Minnows, we find our Re miniscent discoursing, a little later on, not about the Great Gun (Shelley), but about the editor of the Great Gun (F. W. N. Bayley)—not about a poet, but about a poetaster and a little fribbling humorist : Alphabet Bayley, as he was wont to be designated. Of whim, as one of his personal associates, Dr. Richardson observes facetiously, in allusion to his decease—that-- , " Mr. Bayley sunk gradually in the estimation of the learned and the unlearned, the patrons and supporters of literary speculation, became less careful than hereto fore of his personal appearance and the respectability of his associates, was occasionally disfigured with a black eye, and after a severe attack of yellow jaundice, took the road to that bourne from which no traveller re turns." A. very droll event for the poor fellow ! It is curi ous to remark, by the way, that the individual who talks of Shelley as a " slovenly, dirty, uncouth hobbedyhoy," speaks of Barnard Gregory—the notorious Barnard Gregory of the Satirist news paper—thus—" He was gentlemanly and retiring in his manners, and, having a good fund of anecdote, was amusing in his conversation." Dr. Richardson speaks in very high terms of commen dation of this characteristic peculiarity observable in Mr. Barnard Gregory.— " One good quality, a quality which, if it were more generally diffused amongst newspaper writers, would be a great relief to the community : in private society he never talked of the 'shop,' or in less homely phrase, he never made allusion to his own affairs as connected with the publication of which he was the proprietor." We should•think not ! But surely in his abstain ing from any reference to a matter of ?inch infamous notoriety was not surely a quality in - Mr. Barnard Gregory deserving of such very high commendation. Let Dr. Richardson think a little over it and answer to himself ! Yet these incongruous allusions to Shelley and Gregory set aside—the work is full of the ma terials of agreeable entertainment. It could scarcely fail to be so with the last half century as the broad canvas upon which Dr. Richardson conjures up his strange and motley remembrances. Are they not most strange and most motley these recollections Wait an instant--here is one of them Dr. Richardson is talking of the lamentable suicide of Lord Castlereagh. "I recollect," he says, " that shortly before the cala mity took place, I had bowed to his lordship in Picca dilly, at the very moment he was purchasing a penknife, in the street close to tee White I.luitsn Cellar, twin one of the itinerant dealers in cutlery, -'-tin cinld Roph thing: viage coach passengers, and was trying the keen ness of the edge of it on his thumb-nail. It might be that he, at that momer.t, canternplated suicide, and was providing himself with an instrument for its accomplish. rant." There is a street scene for you ! Derry-down triangle buying (hard by the White Horse Cellar in Piccadilly) the penknife with which he was soon after to cut his throat Dr. Richardson giving him a courteous bow of recognition as he passes by, his lordship (the while) trying the keenness of the edge upon his thumb-nail ! Incidentally there is introduced in the course of the work under notice a deeply interpsting account of the rise and career of Thomas Barnes, the Editor of The Times,—illus trative memorial anecdotes sprinkling the volumes here and there in reference to such men as Morris Barnett, the English-Frenchman; as Geo. Colman the humorist, and Geo. Canning the statesman ; as Ireland, the forger of Shaksperian balderdash ; as Pierce Egan, the scribe of the Pugilists ; as " Jerry Sneak" Russell the come dian, and Dan Dawson, the horse poisoner, and Ned Graves, and Billy Gibbons, and Jemmy Farrell, and Harry Lee, and Jack Nash, and Dick Vaughan, and divers other personages introduced, with a no less gay familiarity of abbre viation. Here they all are—flitting before us like faces glowering and grinning through the disk of a phantasmagoria. And thus fitful, varicil and grotesque, are Dr. Richardson's Political, Lite rary, Dramatic, and Miscellaneous Recollections. Captains Stewart and Hyde, of the General Screw Company, have entered the service of the European 1424 Australian Mail Company, the former as superintn - dent, and the fitter as commander. COINAGE.—From a Parliamentary return issued yes terday, of all gold, silver, and copper monies coined at the Mint from the Ist cf January, 1846, to the 314 of December, 1855, it appears that 48,577,357 sovereigns and 10,587,402 half•sovereigns were coined, together of the value of 53,871,063/. The silver coined in the same period comprised 216,682 crowns, 2,744,P81 half crowns, 6,731,292 florins, 14,357,066 shillings, 14,559,663 six pences, 5 ,064,714 groats, 41,580 fourpences, 3,530,861 threepences, 308,880 twopences, and 78,408 pence.; to gether of tha value of 2,214.151/. The copper coina k ,e comprised 14,891,520 pence, 24,156,381 halfpener, 22,548,564 farthing, and 5,632,416 half•fartbinge, of the aggregate value of 10,7854 MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) CORN EXCHANGE: Although the supplies of wheat in most of the country markets held on Saturday were very moderate, the de mand for all kinds ruled heavy, at drooping prices. Most spring corn changed hands to a limited extent, on former terms. The Continental markets, almost generally are very quiet, although:the supplies of produce offering in them are limited. From the United States, we learn that heavy shipments of both wheat and flour continued to be made to England. Only limited supplies of home-grown wheat and other ar ticles were received up to our market last week. From abroad, the imports were large, viz :-36,784 quarters of wheat, 5,39 S barley, 37,007 oats, 342 beans, 12d peas, 7,136 linseed, 590 rapeseed, 3,190 Indian corn, 160 sacks and 9,240 barrels of flour. A very limited supply of English wheat was received fresh up, to-day, direct from the home growers ; but some quantity came to hand from the merchants; however, the show of samples of both red and white were good. Owing to a large influx of foreign grain, and the favourable ac counts at hand respecting the general appearance of the crops, the demands for all kinds of wheat of home-pro duce ruled heavy, at a decline in the quotations realized on Monday last of from 3s to fully 4s per quarter. We were rather heavily supplied with foreign wheat, in which very little business was done, at 3s. per quarter be neath last week's currency. There was a moderate sale of floating cargoes, but on lower terms. We had very little barley on offer, and the trade was tolerably firm at late rates. No change took place in the value of malt. The Ueda was steady. There was a large quantity of foreign oats in the test' ket. The oat trade was heavy, at 6d. to is. per quarter beneath last Monday's quotations. Beans and peas were in short supply, and moderate re• quest, at late rates. We had a very dull inquiry for flour, and country marks were 2s. lower. American qualities gave way Is. per barrel. ._____ CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE Wheat—Essex 1.
