SALES BY AUCTION. 1 ALL FREEHOLD. NEAR TO READING. GRAZELEY LODGE ESTATE, wjth PARK GROUNDS, extending to 60 ACRES, within a ring-fence, and considerable Common Right, extending over SI I the Parish. AIR. GEORGE ROBINS is directed by the -L Proprietor to offer to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the 21st of July, at Twelve o'Clock, in one Lot, A SINGULARLY DESIRABLE FREEHOLD ESTATE, equally eligible as an Investment for Capital, or for an Abode. It consists of the _ . _ GRAZELEY LODGE ESTATE, most delightfully situate within three miles of Reading, on the road to Newbury and Basingstoke, and secluded from it by a row of Ornamental Laurels, a Hawthorn hedge, and neat Chain nailing. It is accounted one of the prettiest things in Reading's vicinity, which, it is known, is famed for the wealth and respect ability of those who live around it. THIS ELEGANT AND VERY CHASTE VILLA within A TWO HOURS' RIDE FROM LONDON, Is placed on a Lawn of extraordinary beauty, and considerable ex tent, and the front, which overlooks the road, is adorned by A STONE GALLERY AND BALCONY, so beautifully constructed as to be the great feature on the road. The . columns are of iron, and the order is Corinthian. It is ap_ proached by a noble flight of steps. The Lawn is resplendent in every thing that is recherche in the Botanical world, with full grown timber in Limes, and Chesnuts studded about in pleasing negli gence, with Plants and Flowering Shrubs without any apparent termination. But it will be well first to return to the habitation. IT IS QUITE AN ITALIAN VILLA, and in the best taste imaginable, with the additional advaptage that ►ubstantiality in the erection is conspicuous every where. The walls seem to claim relationship with perpetuity, and as it re. Bards convenience and interval comfort, it car.not be exceeded. AU the Rooms are lofty, and consequently very airy, of excellent proportions, and the Bed-room Department not to be exceeded. THE GRAND SUITE OF ROOMS are adapted to a first-rate family, or by the way at this interesting moment of doubt about the representation for Reading, should put this feeling to rest. If a gentleman of fortune and character be tempted into this enviable purchase, there is no good reason why be may not count upon adding M.P. to his present honours. The cellars are famous, and it only needs to let hospitality be placed conspicuously at Graze!) , to accomplish this great event. Sociality and respec tability preside in this vicinity. But to return to this little his tory. The residence, it has been observed, is quite perfect ; the subordinate offices are in excellent keeping, and a kitchen fit for the chef of the representative of Reading. In the court-yard are two stables with eight stalls, two coach-houses for six carriages, depository over for hay and straw, and coachman's room. THE FARM YARD, on a petite scale, is everything that can be wished for; all the buildings famous ; and close by are two additional slips of garden for potatoes and vegetables. By the way it has been omitted to state there is A CAPITAL KITCHEN GARDEN, plentifully stocked, enclosed by lofty walls, and a prolific orchard h= rd by, that gives promise of lOU bushels of apples and pears this season. THE LODGE ENTREE is of pretty design, and the drive to this little abode of comfort is through the luxuriant grounds. SHENFIELD CHURCH (a pretty object) is only I Miles off, with three pews for the family. THE RIGHTS ARE UNRESTRICTED OVER THE COMMONS IN SHENFIELD PARISH. Connected with this valuable Purchase, there is yet in store another feature, A DOMAIN OF SIXTY ACRES OF RICH PARK-LIKE LAND WITH SOME AND FAMOUS ARABLE; the latter growing at this momet 6 quarters of Wheat per acre, and the soil is congenial for all the purpose of Agriculture. In fine, It would be difficult considering its limited extent) to find a more enviable purchase throughout the favoured county of Berk s . Particulars ready 28 days before the Auction, at the Bear Hotel, Reading; the Auction Mart; and at Mr. Robins' Offices, London, ON CHAMPION HILL. One of the PILLARS of that ADMIRED VICINITY to the GREAT METROPOLIS, with EXTENSIVE LAWN, PLEASURE GROUND, and PADDOCKS, extending to near FIFTEEN ACRES, all in a RING FENCE, and in most per .. ' feet bider. 141 R. GEORGE ROBINS has the pleasure to • 1. announce that he is directed by CHARLES BARRON, Esq., the respected Proprietor (who is retiring to his Demesne in llert , ), to offer to PUBLIC AUCTION, at the Mart, London, on TfiraS. 05%, Blst July, at Twelve o'clock, in One Lot, an' ESTATE OF CONSIDERABLE IMPORTANCE, and one that may be assimilated to a FREEHOLD TENURE, inasmuch as it is entirely • EXEMPT FROM ANY GROUND RENT, save only for the accommodation meadows. It consists of ONE OF THE ADMIRED SUBURBAN VILLAS ON CHAMPION HILL PRIVATE ROAD,: a remove of three short miles from the Royal Exchange, stir. rounded by a little host of Bankers and rich Merchants, who have In little clusters selected the spot as the most delightful, and, at the same time, convenient in respect to their daily labours. It is no longer a matter of doubt that it stands conspicuous for its superic. rity to any other easy remove from London. Society can be se cured to any extent, or avoided without difficulty. It may be ob served the outward form of -•• THIS ELEGANT ITALIAN VILLA does not give promise of the consequence that a closer investiga. tion will , render manifest. It is almost too modest and unpre. tending Oar the delight and cotnfort that prevails within. It is *site equal in-every respect to accommodate most perfectly the ~ • family of a merchant of high standing—indeed, in going over it. the composer of this sketch tried Mar, , by ingenuity, it could be rendered more conducive to comfort, but he essayed in vain; and the officee, from beginning to end, are in thorough keeping with the whole. This delightful abode does sot belong to the class of modern buildings, for beside everything the most fastidious mind can suggest, there is a solidity that has recently been too much out of fashion. The view from the extended lawn is quite a picture. The gal leries and balcony are not- of common place; they are, Indeed, alike, useful and ornamental, partaking of views that are not merely of considerable extent, but Include a landscape, that is one of incomparable beauty. One of the great delights that Champion Hill especially claims as its own, is that although within half an hour's drive of the seat' of daily profit, them is a quietude--a sort of repose, throughout the grounds, that seems to estrange London from this locality. The grounds are of consi derable extent and loveliness, in which everything that can heighten their natural claims has been supported. American plartts are in .every corner, the:cedars of Lebanon feathering to the grow nd, and the Portugal laurels, some of them eighty feet around, Use arbor vitae, and a little army of Rhododenclurns, seem all to aspire to aid in this scene of delight and with AN ORANGE GROVE AND BEAUTIFUL CONSERVATORY, seem to leave nothing for the most fastidious to desire. There are two Kitchen Gardens.; and at the extremity of the firs t Pad dock is a second Lawu of great beauty, with an almost sup erabund anCe of shrubs and flowers, with ornamental Summer 'Houses ; then the strawberry and vegetable gardens, with fruit trees well _selected; at the termination of the whole is the Gardneir's abode. ,sinrounded by all sorts of useful offices; in short, every appendage lo a little Farm ; and there are SIX RICH PADDOCKS, OF A PARK.LIKE CHARACTER. to complete all that human invention could have desired. In front'tf the Villa is an Orchard and Kitchen Garden,, which .lumbers amongst other advantages the certainty that NO BUILDING OPERATION CAN INTERPOSE its unwelcome appearance here. In the Court-yard is a double Coach-house, 5 Stalls, i' loose boxes and men servants'-room; in short, there is everything that a reasonable mind can thirst of or enjoy. The term Is near fifty years, and no ground-rent. The Paddocks are subject only to six guineas an acre. Particulars may be had 28 days prior to the sale on tbse pre noises, but the Villa cannot be seen without a card; also at the Auction Mart, and at Covent-garden. GENUINE FORFEITED PROPERTY. MESSRS.

The ar rangements were made with the Tru s t ees of Exeter Hall for the use of their room ; and as the programme consisted of • sacred music alone, and all the minor points were satisfactorily :settled, no obstruction appeared in the way of a triumphant !termination to the efforts of the Committee, and it only re , 'ned for the Sacred Harmonic Society to grant the use of *organ and orchestral fittings.

MONDAY MORNING, JUNE 13, 1842. Lord ASHLEY'S Bill is now printed. From a month after the Bill receives the royal assent, it will be unlawful to employ, or permit to be employed any female, in any mine or colliery, other than such as were employed in it at, or before the passing of the Act; from three calendar months after the passing of the Act, it will be unlaw ful to employ any female, under 18 years of age, in any mine or colliery, and at that period it cancels and de clares void all indentures binding such persons to work n any colliery. At three months, then, from the passing of the Act, it will remove out of the collieries and mines all females under 18 years of age. At six months after the Bill has become law, it will be unlawful to employ any leznales whatsoever in the mines, and it removes, therefore, out of the mines and collieries, at the end of six months from the date of it passing, all the females now employed I in them. The Bill prohibits, at the end of one month, the further employment of all boys in mines under the age of 13, not now employed therein, and at the exiiration of three calendar months after the passing of the Act, it prohibits the employment of any youth under 13 p ars of age, and consequently at that period removes out of the mines and collieries all boys under that age. The third provision of the Bill is to put an end to all apprenticeship whatever in the mines. The fourth pro. vision is to make it unlawful to place the engi9e or wind lass, which raises and lowers the colliers, under the charge of any person except between the ages of 21 and 50. These provisions are enforced by penalties of 51., 10/., and 50/. for every person employed contrary to these provisions. The striking feature of the Bill is, , that in six months from the time of passing it, one-third at I least of the labour, and of the labourers • now employed in mines and collieries, will be peremptorily removed from them. In many cases, toe, we are afraid that the total removal of boys and females will put a stop to the working of the colliery; for it is given in evidence, that without their assistance, as far as is - at present known, the expense of working the col liery would be too great. If no other invention can be • substituted fOr the little trappers, men or boys beyond the age of 13 must take their places, and either be paid like them, or if paid more, must increase the expense of working the colliery. Letting that pass, however, the proposition to remove six months hence one-third of the ' present labour and labourers from the collieriet, in the present condition of the labour market, seems to us a very bold act of legislation. Is the supply of coals to be diminished to that extent? Is the amount of wages now paid to the collier popula to be diminished ? Or must the coal-owners pay the same amount of wages for one-third less produce ? Is the supply of coals not to be diminished ? The amount of wages not to be lowered, and the remaining two-thirds of the collier population to work one-third more ? How is this Bill, should it ever become a law, expected practi cally to operate ? In either of these cases, a consider. able alteration will be effected in the relations of the col lier population, if not injury done to one class or the other, and those who make the law will be expected to ascertain these points clearly beforehand, and be pre pared to show how their measure is to affect the co- Hers and the owners of mines. We see that the Weekly Chronicle, in some courte ously-made remarks on The Sun, settles the whole ques tion at once, in the following manner, also adopted by Lord ASHLEY, who, as we have already mentioned, con templates punishing the male colliers for their idleness and drunkenness, while he gallantly proposes to relieve at their expense their wives and children. Now, if The Sun (says the Weekly Chronicle) will take the pains to study the fads, and to ascertain the practice, of the best regulated coal districts, it will find that in nine cases out of ten, the earnings of a collier are the same, whether he com pel his wife and daughters to submit to the humiliation of shar ing in his labour, or not. The difference is precisely this— that wherever the males alone do the work, they work ten days, or even eleven, out of the fourteen. Where female la bour is permitted, the same wages are earned in eight or nine days, and the other six passed in drunkenness and debauchery. Why? Because the man has no home, and seeks refuge in the beer-house against the filth, and discomfort, of his own neg lected abode. That implies that the men are to do all the additional work, and be at once converted, by Lord ASHLEY'S Bill, into patterns of labourers and domestic attachment. Is not that somewhat of a Quixotic scheme ? Is it not a most unfounded expectation ? Is it anything but a poor delusion, which all history contradicts ? Yet the Weekly Chronicle says, " The Sun labours under ad, - lusion in imagining anything , doubtful, anything disw'- vantageous in such a regulation as this." Our contem porary, which is perhaps natural, has a much greater confidence than we have in an Act of Parliament; and seems to think it is only necessary for the gentlemen at Westminster to pass a decree, to attain at once the object of their wishes. " The disease," he says, "is un doubted ; the remedy certain and safe. Its complete extirpation, by Act of Parliament, is the first step to wards the introduction of those humanizing influences, to which we must look for amelioration of any kind." Alter the whole manners and lives of the colliers a t once by. Act of Parliament ! Is not that a delusion ? The foundation of the mistake seems to lie in transfer ring to the collier population the idea that they are slaves to some other persons, and that in passing this Act they will be liberated. The fact is, that this slavery of the females and of the children is the consequence of the morals and manners of the people, and we be lieve that Lord ASHLEY'is much more likely to produce an insurrection by his humanity, than reform the col lier population by his law. It begins by insulting them, because they sometimes drink, and go to cock fights, and do not work enough ; and he carries his own yearnings into effect, by depriving them of one-third of the wages of their families. Since we have seen Lord ASHLEY'S Bill, and read the remarks of the Weekly Chronicle, we tremble for the consequences, in the present state of the labour market, of withdrawing one third of the labour from the collieries, and depriving the colliers of one third of their wages. THE QUEEN'S LETTER.—Sir Robert Peel's last hope either has been, or will be, a failure. The opulent classes cannot give, and they will not give, sufficient to palliate, much less relieve, the public distress. Why, say many of them, should we subscribe to buy food for the people on which the landlords levy a tax ? Our money may relieve some distress, but it will also go to keep up the landlords' rents ; and we will not subscribe. There is no heart in the cause, and Sir R. Peel will get but little money. If Sir Robert would pledge himself that all the money subscribed should b e l a id ou t in r imported, o reign corn, and be duty free, he would promote trade, lower prices, and probably have an increased amount subscribed. COURT MYSTERIES.—Some surprise has been ex pressed that the Premier did not accompany her Ma jesty to Ascot Heath on Thursday last. We, however, see nothing remarkable in that circumstance, and it may be that he was not invited. The Right Hon. Gentleman came down with Lady Peel by the train on Tuesday evening, and had to wait for some time at the Slough station before his carriage could be got ready.. There were none of the Royal carriages in waiting for him. He had in his hand an evening paper of that day, and the Standard will be shocked to learn that the " public in structor" which the Premier was so carefully taking to Windscr Castle was one of extreme Radical opinions.-- Observer.--[Why is our courtly Contemporary afraid to mention The Sun, and anxious to impute to us princi ples, which, in the general sense of the word, we neither profess nor advocate ? Is he afraid that the Radical " public instructor" should be preferred at Court to those time-servin€ , papers which are guid e d on l y b y self i sh in• terests, and which would become Tory, Conservative, Whig, Radical, or "extreme Radical," if they could better their condition.] ORIGINAL POETRY. We have receivod the following lines from a cor respondent, who signs himself " C.W." or " T.W.," for the first letter is very indistinct. At first we suspected they were from the Hon. Member for Finsbury, as the initials might signify either Coroner Wakley or Thomas Wakley, but on reading them carefully we find they want that polish and that sympathy for " locked up wives" which distinguish the verses of the learned gentlemen. They are, however, a fair specimen of the poetry which we are compelled so frequently to reject, and we therefore willingly publish then, in order to leave our readers to judge whether we exercise a wise discretion : MIDSUMMER'S MORNING. The dawning light of Sol is come, 'Ere the nocturnal chills are gone ; Which murkey night dilfuses o'er Ibis arched bounds, while he's obscure, Then of a sably azure hue, Restoring them to pristine blue ; Then in tints of crimson red, Sol leaves his antipodial bed, Dissolving these by golden rays In which he's clad—his form displays Subtiles the cool to Zephyr air— Smiles on the scene and makes it clear; Then on his course gay speeds his way, Melting his beams to purest day. O'CONNELL AND THE ENGLISH SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT. Mr. O'Connell has addressed the following letter pro mising the assistance of, the people of Ireland to the agitation now becoming so rife in this country, for the suffrage : "Sir,—lt is my wish to b ecome a mem b er of the ' Metropolitan Parliamentary Reform Association.' and for that purpose I send my annual subscription of 11., and beg to have my name and address enrolled in the books of the Association. " I can assure the gentlemen who form this Associa tion, that they will have the hearty concurrence and co operation of the people of Ireland. The Irish people want only the opportunity to show their fervent zeal in the cause of peaceful reform of all the corruptions in our Institution. Will you give them that opportunity ? Reckon on their assistance if you do. To be of use to the cause of Reform, it is necessary to be combined and to be active. You must not slumber at your posts in the face of an active and interested enemy. Pardon me for venturing on these suggestions which certainly are not intended to imply reproach, but justify my own presumption i n now offering to take an active and continuous part in working any practical plan of obtaining our legitimate object, Let me add, for your consideration, that it would be of great importance to have an active Committee formed to report the " True History" of each borough at the election in which bribery prevailed. I believe this would include nearly all. It is by this time known in each such locality, by public but au thentic report, under what circumstances and by what agency each seat was obtained. A Report, founded on local enquiries approaching the truth as nearly as may be attainable, would influence the pub lic mind, perhaps, to a considerable degree, and may alto excite a salutary indignation against the present class legislators, and cause them to be convicted of the turpi tude of bt ing a " gang of bribers." If one only borough was expluded by such a Committee as I suggest, then there would value even in that ex posure--a value which would accumulate in proportion to the number exposed. I have the honour to be, Your faithful servant, DANIEL O'CONNELL. J. Roberts Black, Esq., Secretary. The state of the 'manufacturing operatives seems getting worse and worse, and the numbers which this fine weather induces to' perambulate the country, as beggars, is absolutely deplorable. In Kendal, we learn that in several branches more is doing, while in the fine trade, and in foreign goods, things were never worse. Wools are stationary. The fine fleece wools are selling at v very low price, and with the present demand for worsted, there seems no prospect of an ad vance. The fell wools are not yet clipped ; but, in the York shire moor fleeces, which are earlier off than in this country, very low prices are ranging. —.

ROMANTIC BIOGRAPHY OF THE AGE OF ELIZABETH. 2 Vols. Bentley, London, 1842. In these volumes we have a series of brief biogra phical sketches of some of the most remarkable per sonages who flourished during the reign of Elizabeth. The sketches are introduced by a sort of preface, wherein the author apologises for the occasional sprightliness, of his narratives, observing, "we have endeavoured to extend to the literature of f ac t, some of the gaieties which are more usually associated with the literature of fiction, without abandoning the gra vities which necessarily belong to diligent research, and minute accuracy of statement." Doctor Taylor has acted wisely in apologising for, what he terms, his " gaieties,' for assuredly they are such as call for an apology, being, in truth, among the heaviest por tions of his work. Indeed, had he not directed our attention to the circumstance, we should never have discovered that there was the slightest particle of gaiety in his biographies, for bad puns, quaint con ceits, and ponderous attempts at drollery ought rather to take rank under the head "gravities.' Doctor Taylor is a sober, sensible, and, generally speaking, dispassionate writer, who brings a fair share of know ledge to every questk n that he discusses; but, as for sprightliness or waggery, he has just about as quick and relishing a conception of them as an elephant has of dancing a minuet. The very weight and verboseness of his style are fatal to his attempts at the jocular. If we except this blemish, we know of no particular objection that we can urge to the volumes before us. They treat of some of the most bustling characters who figured during a trying period in English history, in a lucid and intelligent manner ; and though the additions they make to our stock of information are by no means extensive, yet the matter is well digested, the different hypotheses ingeniously supported, and a creditable tone of im partiality is maintained throughout. Among the memoirs, is one of the Earl of Leicester, the well known favourite of Queen Elizabeth, whose character —as D'lsraeli has justly observed—is one of the most mysterious in our historical annals. Doctor Taylor, with praiseworthy diligence, has collected all that is known of him, and for much of his information he has been indebted to the singular and calumnious chronicle, entitled " Leicester's Commonwealth," which is supposed to have been written by the Jesuit Parsons, one of the most extraordinary men of the age in which he lived. The Doctor, with his usual clear, strong sense, exhibits a wholesome distrust of the calumnies of this man ; yet he does not wholly repudiate them —nor, indeed, can he with any pro priety, for they show a close acquaintance with the private habits of Leicester, and were pretty generally credited by his contemporaries. The memoir of Parsons is interesting, but the author has done but cold justice to the subject of his biography. This indefatigable Jesuit was a man of the most commanding energy and fortitude of character, and was hardly less wily and cautious. His influence in the cabinet of Spain, and at the Vatican was, at one period of his chequered career, almost omnipotent ; and nothing could surpass his indomitable perseverance when he came over to England as a Missionary to encourage the spread of the Catholic faith. Beset by spies at every step of his progress, exposed to dangers of the most for midable nature, his order rigidly proscribed, and his presence in the kingdom more than suspected, he was forced to adopt all sorts of odd disguises —one day he was " hale-fellow-well-met" with a common soldier; the next, he was dressed as a peasant, and sitting among bigoted clod-hoppers in a village ale-house ; now, he was a country squire ; and now, he was disguised as a travelling pedlar. But amidst all his dangers, amidst all the strange chances that befel him—in all the trying situations into which he was thrown—his coolness and self-possession, and above all, his determination to persevere in the objects of his mission, never once deserted him. He bore up manfully to the last, and only quitted England when the discovery and execution of his brother missionary, Campian, convinced him that he had not a chance left of success. As an author, Parsons was volumi nous, and by no means scrupulous in his assertions, or in the arguments by which he supported them. His " Leicester's Commonwealth" has been already mentioned ; and of his work on the " Succession to the Throne of England," suffice it to say that it pro duced a wonderful sensation at the time, and—to quote Dr. Taylor's appropriate observation—" was the storehouse whence the Regicides, in the days of Charles 1., drew most of their arguments." RICHARDSOIV'S GEOLOGY. Badliere, Loudon, 1842. • In a m o d es t an d j udicious preface, M r . Ri c h ar d son, after stating th e reasons that i n d uce d hi m t o under take the p resent work, says :—" in submitting thi s volume to the public, the reader is respectfully re minded that it is one of the most elementary cha racter; that it is designed merely as an introduction to others of far superior merit ; and that the highest objects of the writer will be attained, if by means of its pages, the reader should become acquainted with the admirable reasonings of a Buckland; and many other geologists, of .whom science and literature may be justly proud." Mr. Richardson's diffidence has here caused him to underrate the importance of his work. It is not merely of the " most elementary cha racter," but discourses in a learned and scientific spirit oa all matters connected with geology, and will instruct those who are conversant with the pursuit, quite as much as the novice. Another recom mendation that the volume possesses is, the uniform clearness and simplicity of its style; it is nowhere defaced by technical and pedantic terms, such as com pel' one to be constantly referring to the dictionary, hut it is written so as to be intelligible to the most Ma. LYEL IN AMERICA.—Mr. Lyel, the eminent English Geologist, now on a tour through the United States, has been lecturing on the falls of Niagara. He supposes that the country above the falls was, at one time, the bed of a great inland sea, of which the lakes are but small remains ; that the barrier at the falls has been much reduced since the mighty waters commenced their leap from its sum mit ; and that the falls are receding, and the cliff's lowering, so that, should the world last long enough, there will he no falls at all at some future time. The condition is consolatory to those who would not have the earth deprived of such an august feature, and it makes the calculation safe as regards the reputation of the philosopher. At a period 760 years hence, he calculates that the fall will be lower by 40 feet than its present height. The loss is a little over half an inch yearly, so that the present generation need not fear any great degradation of the scene during their pilgrimage.—American Paper. The Earl of Wilton's splendid yacht, the Tarifa, is fitting out at Portsmouth, to convey his Lordship and suite to Hamburgh, whence the Earl proceeds to Dresden, to invest his Majesty the King of Saxony with the Order of the Garter. His Lordship is not expected to embark for three weeks, and he will be absent about a month on his special mission. The inhabitants of Conde-sur-Noireau, the birth place of the late Admiral Dumont d'Urville, have given his name to one of the streets at the town, and have opened a sub scription for a monument to be raised in it to his memory. ordinary capacity. The introductory chapters, where in the author endeavours to show that national pros perity depends on geological position, are argued with great urgency and acuteness, and contain the follow ing statement, which is quite new to us : " Not less than nineteen of the largest and most im portant towns in England, from Exeter to Carlisle, are all situated along the line of one geological formation, the new red sand-stone, which, in audition to its own mineral treasures of rock-salt, gypsum, and metallic ores, usually covers the invaluable deposit of coal, at once yielding an incentive and supply to the vast and en terprising population of this favoured district." In an interesting pssage on the srlbject of mining, Mr. Richardson, while speaking of the different orders of metals, and the forms in which they are found, tells us that gold offers an exception to the general rule of metals occurring in veins, for that it is disseminated in minute quantities throughout those rocks, usually of a quartzose character, in which it occurs, and chiefly obtained in alluvial gravel, resulting from the decomposition of such rocks ; or from the sands of rivers which, flowing over them, have washed out the particles of gold. In discussing the question of the modern date of man, as compared with that of the world, the author shrewdly argues that, had the human race been really the aborigines of the phy s i ca l history of our plan e t, V had they actually existed in its primeval times, their remains would unquestionably have been found scattered throughout its various depo sits, from the oldest to the most recent in the series:— " No impediment," says Mr. Richardson, " exists to their conservation: our bones, composed of the same ele ments as those of the animal races, are equally capable of being kept from destruction ; the same battle-field has preserved the bones of the horse and his rider ; the same cavern which, in earlier aeras, gave shelter during life to the hyena and the bear, and retained their skele tons after death, has alike preserved the relics of those human occupants, who, at a later period, found, in the same retreat, a refuge and a tomb. But it is obvious, that if man had really been an inhabitant of the earth during its early history, his skeleton, or' the mere frag ments of his osseous strutture, would have constituted the least of those relics, which he would have bequeathed to the soil, of which he was an inhabitant. We should have discovered his mighty and majestic works, which so far transcend in duration his own ephemeral existence. We should have found his cities and his structures over whelmed in the waters of ancient seas, or buried beneath the ejections of primeval volcanoes ; his majestic pyra mids sunk in the bed of early rivers ; his mountain temples hewn on the surface of the deepest and the oldest rocks ; we should have encountered his bridge's of granite and of iron ; his palaces of limestone and of marble ; the tombs which he reared over the objects of his affection ; the shrines which he erected in honour of his god. But in the absence of these or any. other trace of man; in any, save the most superficial of deposits, we are compelled to acknowledge the chronology of Holy Writ ; to recognise the complete and satisfactory accord. ante of science with revelation ; and to admit that the existence of man has not extended beyond those five or six thousand years upon the earth, which the Scriptures assign as the period of hi s creat i on . This is a forcible and eloquent passage; but there are many such in the volume, which—though, from the nature of the subject, it might be supposed to be somewhat dry and heavy —is in reality as entertain ing, as it is instructive in its details. The chapter, in particular, on the fossil remains of extinct animals, abounds in curious matters of information. We have not often met with a volume, professedly scientific, which blends so happily the useful with the agreeable. THE AMBASSADOR'S WIFE. —3 Vols. Bentley, London, 1842. Though far from being the best of Mrs. Gore's novels, the " Ambassador's Wife" is decidedly supe rior to any that she has produced since the " Dowa ger," which was published, if we remember rightly, about two or three years since. The subject is well chosen, and the authoress's intimate and varied ac quaintance with fashionable life, both here and on the Continent, has enabled her to give point and finish, and, above all, an appearance of reality, to her nume rous sketches of character. Her portrait of the pompous old German Baron, Von Rehfeld, would seem, from its truth and minuteness, to have been draw direct f rom some li v i ng original; and there is an individuality in the carefully sustained character of his intriguing and ambitious second wife, that would lead us to the same conclusion. The Baron's daughter, Ida, is less skilfully delineated ; like the generality of heroines in modern novels, she is beauti ful, accomplished, sentimental, &c., but exhibits no distinctive peculiarities. From the first chapter to the last, the tale trundles easily and hurriedly on ; and as the scene of action is constantly varying, and new personages appear upon, as others disappear from, the stage, it is very likely to be in request among novcl readers. MISS KELLY'S THEATRE. We were much delighted by a visit on Saturday last to this very elegant little place of amusement in Dean-street, Soho square. The time was erst when the name of " Miss Kelly" was enough to draw a crowded audience to any house. Her sweetly modulated voice, her just conception her truthf u l act ing, and her u ns t a i ne d reputat i on, were attributes which ren dered her at once the favourite and the admiration of the whole ' kingdom. Miss Kelly has lost none of her powers of former days; her voice is as sweet as ever, her conception juster, more truthful still her acting, untainted yet her reputation, and yet, we grieve to ray it, Miss Kelly and her company nightly play to almost empty benches. Can it be that a fickle . public has deserted the old favourite? We can scarce believe It. Can it be that Miss Kelly's little theatre is unkhown to the public generally? We think it is, and to that cause, and that alone, do we ascribe the very poor house which we beheld on Satur day. Miss Kelly is an actress whose untiring zr.al and perseverance, united with the very excellent bill of fare which she always presents, deserves the support and countenance of the public; and we are sure her theatre only requires to be known to be universally visited. The • entertainments on Saturday consist a of the clever little farce of The Int, igue, the drama of Th e Mill er ' s M a id ,and the farce of The Iri:k Tutor, with between pieces. L. Schully's much admired Rondo a la Chasse, executed in a most masterly style on the guitar, by Herr Otto Feder. In the first piece, every actor was perfection ; not one, indeed, of the whole corps appears to be mediocre, they are all first .rate in the parts as signed to them; Mr. Kinloch, Mr. Garth, J. Webster, and Miss Dowlon were excellent. In The Miller's Maid, Miss Kelly sustained her original character of Phoebe, and that most admirably. It has never fallen to our lot to witness a more exquisite piece of acting—spurning all petty atte m p ts at stage effect, not even painting her face to add unnatural graces. Miss Kelly is content to be natural—truly natural she is, and with nature to back her, she could not but succeed. Mr. Grafton, as Giles, was aso admirable, his acting was true to life ; indeed, Miss Kelly appears to have infused a spirit of eature over the whole house ; every actor, every thing is natu ral. We did not like Webster in this piece, he is not suited for a sailor nor a walking gentleman; the dashing little active tiger, or the bouncing servant are his forte, and to those cha racters we advise him to stick. Mr. Ayliffee, Mr. H. C. West, and Mrs. Benson, were very good. The entertainments con cluded, by particular desire, with the farce of The Irish Tutor and here Mr. H. Hamilton. from Liverpool, as Terry O'Rourke, afterwards Dr. O'Toole, was inimitable. Strongly did he ie mind us of poor Power, whom, we recollect to have seen in this character, and we think we may safely put Hamilton down as one of the best personators of Irish characters at present on the stage. 'I he house is exquisitely fitted up, the audience is always select, and we would strongly recommend the lovers of pure legitimate dramatic acting to pay a visit to Miss Kelly's theatre. SOLDIER'S RO UNDEL AY. When the beetle's drowsy horn Winds acro, , s the silent lea, Ere the rosy-finger'd morn Throws a bright tint o'er the sea: When the moon her orb displaying Beams upon the lonely night, And the wolf dog loudly baying Seems to mock her silver light;— Then we soldiers, ever cheery, O'er the rugged mountain roam, Briskly dancing, never weary, To the merry peal of the hollow drum. Now the song, the joke, the story Swell around and cheat the way; Feats of love and deeds of'glory Grace the merry Roundelay. Peals of laughter, care beguiling, Round their genial magic spread, Till the day-star sweetly smiling Tints the gray cliff's mossy head : Then we soldiers, ever cheery, O'er the rugged mountain roam, Briskly dancing, never weary, To the merry peal of the hollow drum. When the sun is fiercely beaming O'er the snowy-tented field, Of the morrow seldom dreaming, We to balmy slumber yield. Or, beneath the shady bowers, In the jungle we recline ; Strewing life's dull path with flowers, Cull'd from love and rosy wine. Thus we soldiers, ever cheery, O'er the rugged mountain roam, • Briskly dancing, never weary, To the merry peal of the hollow drum. —From " Savindroog," in the Metropolitan Magazine.

The articles in the Courrier Francais, National, and Pro* on the discussion in the Belgian Chamber of Representative . on the intend: d augmentation of the duty in France ee l foreign linens an d t h rea d s, h as produced a notice from ~ Debts, which is important from its semi-official character' indeed, a portion of it has all the air of a Ministerial decll" l42 , tion. After an introduction, the object of which is to *O m ,' that the present duty of 10 per cent. is insufficient as a protecting duty to the present manufacturers, and that, in ote''' , countries, where a duty of 15 to 20 per cent. upon fieeir, linens is considered very moderate, the Debuts says:— " The determination of the French Government to rs" the duty on foreign linens and threads, excited complaints . :` the British Parliament, and in the Belgian Chamber. Sir Peel intimated that our wine-trade ran the risk of beini" punished for any opposition made to the introduction of Eor lish thread into France, and in the Belgian Chamber the nister was violently urged to use reprisals towards Frew trade, if Belgian industry was in any way affected. The.: is nothing in all this that ought to surprise the country the Government. Besides this latter has taken its deter:vies' tion, and it is not threats that will cause it now to dre! back. Rir R. Peel knows better than we do, that Frew' wines are already taxed in England to the amount of 400 P er '. cent., and that oar brandies pay the British Exchequer the enormous tax of 700 p er cent . I t would be the extreme . , folly to aggravate such a condition of things, under the pre' text that with us a manufacture just springing into existeo" . , which we cannot do without—fur could we possibly give 11 the cultivation of flax and hemp ? which evidentli wastes away under the competition of England, is about t_V, be protected by a ditty of from 15 to 20 per cent , in place I ' l 4 ' 10.

To sum up the whole circumstances of the case, 'I,: have to say that a wise and indispensable measure is'aboeri, to take place.

This specious phra#nt " good i‘ltentions," is the cuckoo-cry that has been re' peated by every Tory Government. successivelll 4 , fin- the l a st seventy years and upwards. was the " good intentions" of Lord North tbi wrested the Am er i can colon i es from our grasp. ) was the " good intentions" of Mr. Pitt that added severn. s hundred millions to the National Debt, plunged us into: a revolutionary war with France, and subsidized half the kingdoms of the Continent. It was the " good inten-. tions"of Lard Castlereagh that lost us all the advantari we might have obtained from our triumphant position -in 1314. It was the " good intentions " of Lord Sid:outh that originated the massacre of the people 4 by wholesale at Peterloo. It was the " good intentions' of the Duke o f W e lli ngton that gave rise to the excesses - . of So ing ; set fire to Bristol ; burned the Duke of New castle's seat at Nottingham' ; and placed the country na the very brink of anarchy during the agitation for tb4 R , ..form Bill. These are a few among the numervoce public blessings that we have derived from the "god intentions" of Tory Governments ; and, as if these were `. not enough, we now find the "good intentions" of Sir I Robert Peel developing themselves in the agree able form -of an Income-tax ! What shape, this amiable and enlightened statesman's " good inten tions" may next take, it is impossible for us, to pre' dicate ; but as they have already had the effect of in creasing the distress of the country tenfold, it is far from unlikely that they may terminate in a national , bank ruptcy. S uc h a catastrophe, indeed, would almost seem to be the legitimate and necessary result of the “good intentions" of a Tory Government !

We know not on what principle Sir ROBERT PEEL can justify his present line of policy in regard to the alarming distress throughout the country. While one half of our manufacturing population are out of employ ment, and tens of thousands cannot find bread to satisfy the cravings of hunger, while trade is daily becoming worse, and rivals from the cheapness of living are spring ing up in every part of the Continent, he passes laws to make bread dear, to exclude foreign sugar, to cripple industry by an income-tax, and then, last of all, issues a proclamation respecting light gold, to add to all the burdens with which the afflicted people are already loaded. Unless he has some ulterior object in view for placing the currency on a different footing, this last scheme must be regarded as the most ill-timed and absurd measure that has yet been put forth by a Tory Government. About its injustice all are agreed. Why make the last holder of gold suffer all the loss it has undergone by wear and tear, or nefarious tricks, for the last twenty year. ? The loss should be borne equally by the whole community ; the light gold should, as in 1817, be withdrawn, and a new coinage issued at the expense of the public Trea sury. But even in that case what remedy is there against tampering with it for the future ? Must the scale-system still be continued, and business delayed to an enormous extent by weighing every piece or gold ? We have heard that the measure has been brought for ward for another purpose, namely, to pave the way for a return to small notes, as in Scotland, and should be glad to find that the rumour was well founded. All the gold in the world would not suffice for half the circulation of Great Britain, and is it not absurd to make a certain metal the only standard, when it is so manifestly defi cient for that purpose ? Paper must, in any circum stance, be the representative of a vast majority of pro perty in every great commercial country, and why should not that be issued by the Government, and guaranteed on the public income and the wealth of the nation at large? Were a plan of this kind adopted, trade would soon feel the effects. The Bank of England should be deprived of the power of issuing paper, of contracting and extending the cur rency at pleasure, and of injuring the property of indi viduals, to keep up the price of stock, or draw gold into its coffbrs. And even with all the power it already pos sesses, it cannot regulate the amount of bullion, or pro ierve itself fvom insolvency. But a year or two ago it was on the brink of a crisis, and had to apply to a foreign country for relief. What has oc curred once nay twice —may occur again, and that at a time, too, when neither France nor any other country may be able or willing to render assistance. In Scot land a bank-note, of any of the respectable banks, is as good as gold, because the public have full assurance that the managers never issue paper beyond their means, and that their whole property is liable for payment. Would not the property of the nation be as good security ? In addition to this, the cost of manufacturing paper may be said to be nothing ; fur that is more than counterbalanced by the amount of notes lost or destroyed by accident ; the wear and tear may also be put down at nothing ; paper is infinitely more commodious, and saves a mat: the trouble of carrying weights and scales in his pocket, like a travelling huckster. Pending the inquiry 11 , .w instituted relative to the recent massacre at Ennis, in the county' of Clare, sae feel the delicacy of makin g any remarks which might have the effect of prejudicing 'public t.pittion against any of the persons implicated in that tragic occurrence. We have carefully read over. the..evidence given at the in quest, as it appears in the Limerick Reporter; and it appears moat conclusively to us, that there was a gross neglect of duty on the part of some of the public authorities. In the conclusion ,f the verdict de livered at the inquest, we find it impossible to concur. That a :Jody of police should fire upon en unarmed mob of not more than a hundred persons, in the presence of two Magistrates, not only without orders, but against them, is altogether incredible. Moreover, two of the witnesses, PATRICK GARRAHY and MICHAEL HAIRE, distinctly deposed on oath that they heard one of the Magistrates present order the police to fire, and that they fired, not one volley, but several. However, as the Lord Lieutenant has sent down an able and highly respected Queen's Counsel, Mr. T. B. C. SMITH, to make a special inquiry into all the circum stances of this tragedy, we have every reason to believe that the real facts of the case will soon be made public. Me. SMITH is a Tory, but he enjoys too high a character at the Irish bar to suppose it possible that he would be a party to defeating the ends of impartial justice. The Limerick Reporter, commenting upon the evidence given at the inquest, and which will be found in another part of this Journal, says : The facts detailed on the inquest—the evidence given by a portion of the populace 'designated, in the conventional lan guage of a certain class, "the mob "—the evidence of the hu mane and intelligent Resident Magistrate, L.

Mr. Hennessy, the excellent Catholic Curate of the town of Ennis, all go to prove to demonstration, to satisfy the most prejudiced mind, Viat there was not the shadow of a shade - of justifiable season for this atrocious murder—that the firing on the people was unprovoked, uncalled for—that it was, in fact, wholly gratuitous—Viat it was per severed in with a thirst which could not hive been anticipated from savages and cannibals—that, even w:sile the people were retreating before the deadly fire of their armed aggressors, bullets were poured after them in Constant and disastroui suc cession—that so indiscriminate, so reckless, was this fearful LLOYD's Sii IPPING—(THIS DAY.) slaughter, that such persons as Mr. Smith and Mr. Hennessey, Losenost JII L N - Z 13.—Wind this day at noon, Easterly. who were among the crowd, narrowly escaped with their lives.
