IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, THIS EVENING. HOUSE OF LOR_DS. The house met to-day for public b►;siness at four o'clock. HOWELL'S DIVORCE BILL. On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR this bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed to morrow. ESTABLI.iHED CHURCH. Petitions in favour rJi the Established Church were pre sented by Lord Kenton, Lord Rolle, the Earl of Warwick, the Bishop of Car isle, Lord Tankerville, Earl Brownlow, and several other peers. The Exchange of Lands Bill and the Edinburgh Police Bill were read a third time and Ised pas. JUSTICE IN BOROUGHS BILL. On the motion of Lord WYNFORD this bill went through committee and the report was ordered to be received to-morrow. WARWICK BILL. On the motion of the same Noble Lord the further pro ceedings of the bill were postponed till Thursday. The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from Mr. J. Sparrow, complaining of being confined in a mad-house, and praying to be allowed to state at the bar the treatment that he has received there. The QuwrelMPeditiiill was reported by Lord SHAFTES suite, and ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. GLASGOW LOTTERY. On the motion of Lord BEXLEY the Glasgow Lottery Abolition Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed to- morrow. The Marquis of DOWN S H IRE presented petitions from various places in the county of Cork, praying for protection to the Church as Established in Ireland. Also one from the clergy of the diocese of Down and Connaught, praying to be relieved from the charge of building glebe-houses. The Earl of WICKLOW presented a number of petitions from parishes in various parts of Ireland, praying for protec tion to the church. Also one from a parish in the county of Meath, praying the house to address his Majesty, that he would be pleased to revoke the commission lately sent into that country relative to the Church. That petition was couched in strong bat respectful language, and forcibly pointed out the evils that were likely to result from the commission. It had spread a panic amongst the poor of the Protestant faith. They thought it would point them out for total annihilation, and the clergyman who wrote him along with the petition, feared that the tide of emigration would be stronger next year than it had ever been. When the petition was agreed to they were not aware of the sentiments now stated to be, indeed, avowed in the other house, to be the opinion of the Cabinet. ( Hear.) How the noble marquis opposite (Lansdowne) could reconcile those opinions with those he expressed as Chairman of the Tithe Committee two years ago, he could not see. He was most anxious to see the Chancellor of Ireland in his place, so that it might b e seen w hat c ourse h e wou ld pursue, and if he supported those with whom he acted, how he could reconcile such conduct with the opinions he bad so frequently expressed in both houses.,. ( Hear, hear. ) BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. Lord WYNFORD presented a petition from Thomas Bit tlestone,, stating the petitioner's regret for having allowed him self to be led into so great an error. His lordship moved that the petition be read, and that Mr. Biddlestone be called to die bar, be reprimanded, and discharged. The petition after a lengthened discussion was ordered to be taken into consideration to-morrow (Wednesday.) Lord GREY rose to move the order of the day for the re newal of the rtsh Coercion Bill, and was left speaking when we went to press. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The house assembled this afternoon at four o'clock, and was engaged till half-past four ira ballotting for the Dungarvan and Monaghan election committees. DISTRESS IN IRELAND. Mr. SHEIL begged to ask the right hon. the Secretary for Ireland whether he bad received any communications relative to the distress in Ireland ? Mr. LISTUITON and Mr. O'CONNELL both spoke on the subject, stating that the distress was not so great as had been represented. POOR LAWS AMENDMENT BILL. Upon the motion of Lord ALTHORP the order of the day for the day for the the third reading of the bill was read, and upon the motion that the be read a third time, Mr. -HODGES rose pursuant to notice to move that the bill be read a third time that day six months. CLZFT SITTING.) IMMENSE OCCASIONAL ENLARGEMENT OP elm DisPATCH.—The WEEKLY DISPATCH (established upwards of thirty years ago, and published at No. 139, Fleet-street) is well known from its unequalled circulation of Thirty Thousand Copies Weekly, as the leading Sunday Journal. This splendid success is owing to its uncompromising prin ciples. Belonging to no party, having no interests to serve but those of the public at large, and looking to measures not to men, the DISPATCH has become identified with the cause of general freedom, and has been emphatically pronounced The People's Paper. Notwithstanding the ample size of this Jour nal, its conductors have frequently been compelled, owing to want of apace, to omit portions of that great quantity of original matter in the shape of essays, comments on public affairs, critiques, letters from numerous correspondents, &c., which is always available for the DISPATCH alone; and events of great importance, occupying several columns, have occasionally led to the ex c l us i on o f commu nications highly important to that cause of freedom, and to those principles of truth, humanity and justice, which it is at once the pride and the duty of the conductors, fearlessly to maintrAin. To obviate this inconvenience—to extend the useful influence of the DISPATCH—trio render it still more worthy the pa tronage of the public—to evince the gratiti:die of the con ductors for the un precedented support w/lich has stim u l a t e d and rewarded the ir exe rtions—they h ave now to announce that they intend, periodically (at least once a month), to add four additional pages to that already full-sized paper, without any increase of charge to the pur c h asers . O n these occasions, the DISPATCH will contain forty-eight columns instead of thirty-two. Thus, whenever any event of great interest occurs, either abroad or at home, or whenever any important measures occupy the attention of the Legislature and involve the interests of the people, the readers of the DISPATCH will be presented with an ample r eport, without the slightest curtailment of any of the pecul iar features of their favourite journal ; the proprietors being enabled, under this arrangement, to print an extra half-sheet whenever addi tional space may be required. An Edition for the country IS published every Saturday evening, and lent, postage free, to all parts of the United Kingdom, by the Mail, so as to be at the distance of 130 miles from London on the Sunday morning, and 200 miles on Sunday evening. An edition of THz "alma. DISPATCH is published every M o nday even ingin time for that d a y' s post. Thi s e di t i on i s d evo t e d to the Agricultural, Mercantile, and Trading Interests generally, on which important subjects it contains a great variety of original and useful information, including accurate lists of Market Prices both in town and country, and the returns at Mark-lane up to three o'clock on Monday afternoon.

THE HALF NOTE HAS BEEN RECEIVED ERRATUM.—In the article respecting Don Carlos's suite, yes terday, " embarked from Portsmouth," should hare read " embarked for Portsmouth." We this day present THE SUN to our readers in the enlarged form which we promised at the beginning of the Session. The delay arose entirely from unavoid able circumstances which we could not contemplate; and the disappointment of the public cannot have been greater than our own. From the additional facilities which the increased size of the paper affords, together with new type and superior machinery, we hope to render THE SUN still more worthy of general support, for we appeal not to any party, but to the public at large. It is our intention, as opportunity permits, to devote a fair share of the paper to Literary and Scientific, as well as to other purposes ; but as " doings' are better than "sayings," we shall leave it to the public to judge THE SUN according to its future deserts. c o , " .- 11 • ntit. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 1, 1834. The third reading of the Poor Laws' Amendment Bill stands for this evening, and the Bill will be sent up to-morrow to the House of Lords, where it will soon become the law of the land. We are glad of this, because we know that its provisions will be highly be neficial to the people of England ; that its tendency will be to raise the moral feeling of the labouring population ; and that, in a word, we know of no measure of which the country stands in greater need at the present moment. Objections were raised against it, by many who were favourable to its general principle on account of the extreme severity of the bastardy clauses, as throwing the onus of support ing illegitimate children on the mothers ; and we must say that we thought it very unjust that parents should be made chargeable for the sins or seductions of their daughters,—but now that they have been modified in such a way as to enable the parish to tax the earnings or incarcerate the body of the putative father, we can discover no grounds of just opposition to the immediate passing of the bill. Some of our contemporaries, it is true, object to it as a rob bery of the rights of the poor. Now we confess we can discover nothing of this. It was not poverty, but indi gence, that the celebrated Christian statute of Elizabeth made provision for ; and though since that time eleven several acts of Parliament were passed on the subject, there is not one of them which contains a clause, enacting that families who do not choose to work shall be supported in idleness by payments made to them in thei own houses out of the poor rates. Under the present bill workhouses will be erected in every parish or union of parishes, wherever found necessary, in which the destitute will be received, and individdals who cannot find work elsewhere provided with employ ment. As to the injury which may be sustained in feelings by those obliged by their necessities to take shelter in a workhouse, our conviction is thai, were it otherwise,we should soon see the rural districts of Eng land laid waste in consequence of the impossibility of meeting the demands of claimants for parochial re lief. Take away the shame, the hunger, the thirst, the nakedness, and the houselessness of poverty, and no one will guard against it. It is useless to talk of high moral feeling existing, if we destroy the source of honourable pride by making personal dependance with out a wish above it, as respectable as honest industry. The advocates of the workhouse system are accused of making poverty a crime, and of recommending the punishment of it as such. Now, poverty though not a crime in itself, is certainly criminal when brought on by vice and dissipation ; and under all cir cumstances, is undoubtedly a misfortune, liable to the usual consequences. Were it otherwise, as we before observed, nobody would think of guarding against it. As to what is urged about the imperfections embo died in the present bill, they will be best seen in the working, and means may be very easily adopted to bring it still nearer to the proper standard. At all hazards, anything must be for the better now, as worse than we are we cannot be. We hope the bill will be passed without undergoing any material future ahem tions in its more important clauses. We can conceive nothing more absurd than the attempts made by the Tory party in Scotland to get up county meetings against the Irish Church com missions. It is of a piece with the miserable outcry raised two years ago to excite a feeling against the Government on account of the Irish Education Bill, and the failure will be as signal and complete. On the latter question they enlisted on their side a number of well-meaning but misguided peo ple, who had sincere scruples about putting into the hands of children only selections from the Scriptures ; and with their assistance in 1833, they carried a mo tion against the government plan in the General As sembly. Even that, however, had no effect, because all impartial men saw that this was the result of an un seemly alliance between religious zeal and political ran cour, and so convinced were the parties of the fact, that they durst not renew the discussion this year. The landed proprietors, no doubt, are more sincere in opposing THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 1, 1834. the Irish Commission, but what support can they ex pect from a class who are loudest in their complaints against abuses in the Church, and who since the days of KNox have stigmatised that body as the robbers of church property in Scotland ? All such property now belonging to landholders is secure by prescription ; and it only shows bad taste on their part to resist measures, the great objects of which are to appropriate the surplus tithes to useful purposes, and to prevent the Irish landholders from imitating the illegal conduct of their ancestors. After a short debate, the further consideration of the Irish Tithe Bill was postponed last night to Fri day next, in order to give members a better opportunity of judging of some of the alterations in the hill. One of the great objections to it on the part of the Irish landlord was, that their land would become subject to a rent charge without the power of redemption, and these alterations have been introduced in order to re medy the defect, and reconcile, if possible, the land lords to the measure. Some of them, however, never will be reconciled to it, and Mr. O'CONNELL in the midst of a long tirade of abuse against the government, incautiously let out the cause of their opposition. It arises from pure selfishness, for which they boast that they claim no portion of the tithes, they complain of the bill (in the words of Mr. O'CONNELL), " be cause, when the people found that tithes were exacted from them in the shape of rent, those who had opposed tithes would also oppose the payment of that rent ;" no doubt in many places they will, because the rents are so high that they cannot be further raised, without oppressing the tenant, but are they to profit by their own extortion ? If they wish to act fairly, they will reduce their rents to an amount which the tenant can pay, and then they will find no difficulty in levying them. A British Parliament will never sanction any measure by which tithes shall in any way be con verted to the use of the landlord. The Paris papers of Sunday say that letters from Genoa confirm the news of Don MIGIJEL's arrival in that city. The Journal des Debats makes a calcula tion of the strength of parties in the next Chamber of Deputies, as shown by the returns at the late elections. The number of ministerial members is reckoned at 320, that of the regular Opposition (in cluding 15 Carlist members) at 90, the remaining 50 members of the Chamber not being pledged to any party. In its calculation as to the number of Minis terial members, however, the Journal des Debats in cludes nearly the whole of the new members on the support of whose votes the Government has no other reason to place reliance than the political sentiments they are known to have till now professed. Lette!s from Madrid make mention of two Royal Ordinances, one intimating that the REGENT has ac cepted the resignation of M. hi Az, and the other, that she has appointed Count de TORRENO to suc ceed M. INIA z as Minister of Finance. There is also a decree, by which eighty-six grandees, generals, and bishops are created peers of Spain. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The easterly winds prevent us from arrivals. The only foreign arrival this morning is the French mail, with the express from Paris. The Van Guard of General Rodil had arrived on the 17th at the village near Madrid. Accounts have been received at Paris of the arrival of Don Miguel at Genoa on the 23d instant. FUNDS. Consols opened this morning at the price they left off yesterday, 92% % for the Account. Th ere i s littl e d o i ng a t present, and the market appears steady at the above price. Spanish Stock, which left off yesterday at 49% %, went down to 49 sellers ; since which a reduction has taken place, and they are at present 49%. Portuguese Stock maintains its price, and may be quoted at 82% %. HALF-PAST ONE. We are credibly informed that the Spanish government are in treaty with the South American governments to acknowledge them, upon receiving a certain sum of money : should the Spanish go vernment succeed in their demands it will fill their empty coffers, and enable them, with the confiscation of some other property in Spain, to compound for the Cortes Bonds, which we hear is their intention. Consols have been all the morning at 92% 3 / 4 ; the market con tinues in a state of inaction.

The Duke of Wellington will give &grand ball to morrow ( Wednesday) evening, at Apsley House. It is said that their Majesties will honour the entertainment with their prnence. Paulo, the clown, who for many years performed at Drury-lane, Covent-garden, and the various minor theatres, has met with an accident of a serious nature, which has (rite incapacitated him from pursuing his avocation, and he is at present involved in the greatest necessity, and reduced to a mere skeleton. The poor fellow, it appears, while going through some of his feats, broke a blood-vessel. SIR GILBERT PLANE.--This veteran practitioner expired on Friday, in the 85th year of his age. He commen ced life as a naval surgeon, and was present at the engagement between the English and French Fleets in the West Indies, on the 12th April, 1782, of which he wrote an account—we believe his first published work. He rose gradually in his pro fession, until he attained the rank of physician to the fleet, and was honoured with the acquaintance and friendship of his pre sent Majesty. In 1.788 we find him selected to deliver the Croonian Lecture, on muscular motion, before the Royal So ciety, which lecture was published in 1790. We also find in their Transactions, vol. 80, an account by hi m o f the I :', T ,.rdtts Indica, chr spikenard, in which paper he attempted to collect what Was known by the ancients respecting this odoriferous herb. His ideas respecting medical education, and certain to pics connected with it, he gave to the world in 1819, under the title of " Medical Logic," and the work has run through more than one edition. In 1822 he published " Select Disserta tior,s on several subjects of Medical Science," most of which wv: believe, had before appeared as separate papers in some of t'ne medical periodicals. For some time he had retired from public life, when we find him once more coming forward in 1831, and addressing his " Warning to the British Public against the alarming approach of the Indian Cholera." These, with some pamphlets on subjects of ephemeral interest, and contributions to medical periodicals, constitute, we believe, the whole of his literary labours. MAGAZINE DAY. BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE. The " Noctes," and more especially that portion of them where James Hogg figures as chief talker, are the gem of this number. We were prepared for much amusement from the Shepherd's account of his late trip to London ; nor have we been disappointed. James's sketch of the modern Babylon is the best we have ever met with—and we have met with some hundreds—it is dashed off at a heat, in the broadest and most vivid colours. Here it is : " Embro', as a town, taken't by itself 's no muckle amiss, but I canna help considerin't but a clachan sin' my visit to Sunnors. Mercy on us, what a roar o' life ! Ane would think the haill habitable yerth had sp ewe d it's haill population until that whirlpool! or that that whirlpool had sook't it a' in—nsair like a Maelstrom than a Metropolis I" James then proceeds to oblectate the auriculars of Christopher North, by a history of the sore trials to which his virtue was exposed in the second tier of boxes at the large theatres. He was sadly beset, it seems, by divers fair frail ones, and really, considering the temptation, we cannot wonder at, though we may bitterly lament, their importuni ties. But James proved himself a Joseph. He thought of the " gude-wife" at the " ingle-nook" in Ettrick Forest, and girding up his loins, fled from the seductions of the Covent-Garden Potiphars, and then, by way of calming down„and dulcifying his disquieted spirit, hurried home and penned a volume of " lay sermons !" Poor James! con ceive him at the theatre, wedged fast, as it were, between two fires, with black eyes flashing on him on one side, and blue eyes on the other ; afraid to look either to the right or the left, and prevented, no doubt, by some huge woman in a poke-bonnet, from looking straight-forward on the stage! Had he fallen, though there would have been " weeping and gnashing of teeth" at Mount Benger ; though Christopher would have been pathetic on his back sliding ; and the " Noctes," in token of shame and humilia tion, would have been printed with a black border round the margin, still no one could have wondered—no one could have been indignant at the Shepherd's slip. But he passed, it seems, like the saints of old, unsinged through the fiery furnace, though he assures us that in the agony of his struggle in the boxes—which we have every reason to believe took place on one of the hot test and most crowded nights of the season—he " could na help lookin' round for some member o' the society for the suppression o' vice." James, we repeat (whose name is henceforth Joseph) is the gem of the present " Noctes." Long may he live, to lend point and wit and eloquence to its columns ! " Christopher on Colonsay" is by Professor Wilson. It is in his best manner. " The cruise of the Midge" possesses much of the broad, dashing spirit of " Tom Cringle's Log." The coming-on of a sudden squall, with the scene of confusion that ensues on board-ship is drawn to the life. " I followed the direction in which he pointed, the column of rain was still falling straight down, and as well defined as if it had been a waterspout in reality, when all at once the lower part of it was once more bent to an angle of thirty degrees with the horizon, but continuing very dense and opaque. In a few moments the whole pillar of water took the same oblique direction, until it slanted straight as a sunbeam shooting forth from heaven. It con tinued as thick and i m p ene t ra bl e t o the sight as ever for the space of half a minute, when, as if scattered by a tornado, it suddenly vanished in smoke, and the weather cleared ; and right to wind ward, a white line crept down towards us, like dust flying along the road in a stormy day, after a long drought. The roar of the approaching squall increased, as did the swell, which now rolled on in mountainous undulations; and although it was calm as death where we lay tumbling about, the little vessel groaned and lurched lilt an evil spirit on his bed of liquid fire, while the tops of the seas began to break and growl as if the very waves had become con scious of the approaching tormenta. " It was now eight - o'clock in the morning ; but in the place of getting lighter, the clouds had settled down so darkly that the fri gate had to make the night signals with lanterns, to heave-to with our head to the southward, until we saw what might turn up. Sharp was the word—we prepared to do so—but before a single rope could be let go, the squall struck us, and for a minute, not withstanding all our precautions, the Midge was fairly laid down on her beam ends, and I thought she would have turned keel up regularly; however, the moment we were enabled to lay her to with her head to the southward and westward, she breasted it like a sea-gull, and, confident in her weatherly qualities, I had time amidst the row to cast a glance at the Commodore and the Mer chantman. The former was lying-to under storm-staysails, rolling and plunging most delightfully, now rising on a heavy sea and making a bow to us, and then descending entirely out of sight— but the poor ship ! All seemed confusion on board of her. Whe ther it was that they had been deceived by the long time the wind hung in the distance, anti had persuaded themselves that there would be no squall worth dreading after all, or the accident of losing the fore-topgallant mast had confused them, I cannot tell, but they had not been able to get in their canvass in time, so that everything had to be let go by the run when the squall came down, and the consequence was, that the fore and maintopsails had been fairly blown out of the bolt ropes, and were now streaming straight out in ribbons, while the foresail, which had stood, laid her over on her beam ends. The crew were, while I looked, endeavouring to set the jib, in order to get her away before the wind ; but a sea at the very moment struck her, washing the boats off the booms, and every thing else that would part company, and for a moment I thought she would never have risen again." TAIT'S MAGAZINE. There are many able articles in the present number. Tait has catered with more than usual tact for the public appetite, " Love and Parliament, an Instructive Poem, by Number One," is a lively, rambling poem, of the Beppo school of humour. The opening is very terse and smart. We give it. " Thus sung we in our youth, when every rhymer Dressed his poor muse in Byron's cast-off clothes— When horrors waxed sublimer and sublimer, As Seyds, and Ezzelins, and Conrads rose— And each new bard, up Fame'a steep hill a climber, Raved wildly of his vengeance' and his ' foes ;' Till, had their deeds but equalled their expressions, Their fittest place had been the Quarter Sessions. 0, what a rueful change would this have been ! ' 11ot guilty' being then the general plea; Some hero who had roved through every scene, Midst blood on shore, and murder on the sea, Whose moody eye and devastating mien Told fearful tales—Gramercy, who is he ? A quiet youth, who, when he doffs the bard, Wields with pacific grace the mercer's yard ! The Corsair raised a thousand pirate rovers, Lara ten thousand ladies in disguise ; Abydos brought a horde of Turkish lovers, The Don a hundred thousand rakes supplies ; And Corinth's Siege a miracle discovers, Bids ghost on ghost, and Alps on Alps arise ; And time and patience both alike would fail us, To count each Werner, Cain, Sardanapalus." " Bringing Home" is one of those graphic, picturesque sketches of country life and manners, in which the author of the " popular History of Priestcraft" so much excels. " GovernoriFox" is a continuation of the Experiences of Richard Taylor, Esq. As an analysis of character it is not ill written. The earlier chapters of this series of papers originally appeared in Johnstone's Magazine, which is now incorporated and made " one flesh" with Tait. " Thomas Campbell," if we except a criticism from the pen of Jeffrey that appeared many years since in the Edinburgh Review, is one of the fairest and most discriminating notices of this great poet that we have lately met with. It enters con amore, and with infinite minuteness of detail, into the style and character of his writings, giving of course the prefer ence to his noble lyrical pieces. " Social and Political Sts.W of New South Wales" teems with valuable informa tion. It is an admirable digest of a recent publication on that subject. FRASER'S MAGAZINE. A full-length portrait of Mr. Ainsworth, the author of " Rookwood," is the pictorial embellishment of this number. Whether it be a likeness or no, we cannot say ; at any rate, it is the representation of a very dandified, Narcissus sort of a young gentleman, with a hunting-whip and spurs, a gold chain hanging out of the waistcoat pocket—lucky man, if the proceeds of a flash romance enable him to pay for such an expensive addittament to gen tility !—and a self-satisfied look that seems to say, " See, what a fine handsome fellow I am !" Most probably the picture is a caricature, for it is full of the pertest Cockney conceit. The slight memoir affixed is not so smart or easy as usual. It omits all mention, we see, of Mr. Ainsworth having started in life as a bookseller, which singularly enough he resigned for the vocation of an author, as being the more lucrative of the two !" " Lay Sermons by the Ettrick Shephent is a pleasant notice of a very quaint and racy publication. We subjoin the opening paragraph :- 4 , We once went a long journey to see James Hogg on the re penting-itool, and richly were we repaid for the pains we took on that occasion. Twenty years have passed over oar heads since then, but if we should see twenty more, which is improbable, never could we forget the aspect of the poetical shepherd, as, „,,,-o.hed on that bad eminence in the kirk of Ettrick, he underwent r i • Ns own beautiful Doric, tholed) the awful castigation of piritual nee,bloom t`h—e' Boanerges who in those days ministered to the er, 'shies of that primitive population. The bonny, whose charms i h fe ad sfi c y a b u e s n ed eat mg, little ewe-n.. -al rectitude, stood at his elbow, wrapped all from the path of over in her maud, but ti, -q was visible, now—when the :Ili what of her sweet countenark, '—deadly pale with terror—now, James o f folds l o d s d ; e deflect nister was spairging brimstone the particular character of when the worthy saint was dwelling b.. ^v, indecorum, &c. &c., her offence, its undeniable blackness, indeliea,., -en the splendour suffused with scarlet blushes, such as dimmed e ,. :nal a stern, of her accomplice's whiskers. He, meantime, maintap.... -4ened dogged, sullen obduracy of aspect, which spoke him a ha.... - and unrepentant sinner: he now'and then eyed the lecturer with a glance of cool contempt, which seemed to renettrate like lava I into the haughty bosom of the Calvinist ; and when all the horrors of holy rhetoric were at length exhausted, and the diatribe must needs come . to a conclusion, nimbly and gaily did Jamie hop from his pedestal, and was received almost with plaudits among a goodly company of brother-swains, who had congregated rather to do him honour than to witness his humiliation. At the kirk door Hogg drew the ewe-milker under his arm, and away the two glided together, with apparently as much sang froid as if nothing particular had happened." " Men and manners" is a continuation of .a satirical poem by a gentlethan who signs himself, and not inappropriately, " Pierce Pungent." It contains some forcible lines. " Dean Swift's Madness" is an attempt to account for the Dean's insanity, which is attributed, evidently for the sake of giving point and novelty to a periodical essay, to the loss of a fa vourite child by Stella. No reader of Swift's works need be told that he-never was a father. We question, indeed, whether he ever felt a spark of kindly feeling towards any human being, male or female. llawkesworth, to be sure, tells a long story of his agony on hearing of the death of Stella ; but that agony was the result of remorse, not affec tion. He professed to love Dr. Sheridan. He libelled him when dead. He professed to love Mrs. Vanhomrigh. He broke her heart. In a word, Swift was a sour, disap pointed man of the world—a misanthrope, in its most exten sive and disgusting form. Had he been otherwise he could never have written as he has done. His works, though all bear the stamp of wonderful acuteness, wit, knowledge, and even invention, are distinguished by nothing so much as the utter absence of all generous or social sentiment. From first to last they are a libel on humanity. " Poetry, the old Poets," is by Sir Egerton Brydges. It is slight and superficial, but full of refined taste, and eloquently expressed. Of " Sartor Resartus" we shall be able to give a more decided opinion, when it is translated into good, wholesome, idiomatic English. In its present state, it is a mere tissue of metaphysical jargon. " Oxford and Lord Brougham" is a clumsy, though an elaborate attempt to turn the Chancellor into ridicule. It is a pity that the writer should have taken so much pains to show himself a mere driveller. NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. Colburn. After its wonted fashion, the New Monthly has reached us at the eleventh hour. Like the Irishman's race-horse, it comes in, " driving all before it." We invariably receive the other periodicals in seasonable time for notice ; but this, we suppose, is too well-bred to be punctual. As we have barely leisure to glance over its contents, we must necessarily be brief in our remarks. It looks a clever number. The first paper is a quiz on Sir Egerton Brydge's lately published " Memoirs." It is by Theodore Hook, though we have seen abler, certainly more sparkling papers from his pen. The only characteristic touch in it, is the sketch of an elderly gent., who has a great fancy, in common with the majority of Londoners, for looking out of his window, at the crowds in the street, " with his nose flattened against the pane,"—a naive sketch, such as we have seen a hundred times. " The Squire of Old England," is an able portrait, though drawn with too flattering a pen cil. Fielding, in Squire Western, was much nearer the mark. By the bye, why does the author sneer at Fielding for knowing little or nothing of country life ? Surely he should be aware of the fact, that our first novelist spent the prime of his manhood in the country—that he himself was " a 'squire of high degree" —a fox-hunter to boot ; and spent his wife's fortune in keeping open house for all his sporting neighbours ! It was not until he had lost all his " acres" that he settled in London, and turned author. Had he Rot met with, and been intimate with a Western, he could not have pourtrayed such a character. He drew from life, not from invention. Hence his immortality. The " In fernal Marriage" has all the sparkling, buoyant, and some what flippant . vivacity of D'lsraeli's Vivian Grey and Young Duke. " Ode to Mr. Owen" is stiff and wire drawn. One or two thin ideas are beaten out over a sur face of two pages. Besides, the writer is too palpable an imitator of Hood. " Sketches of Human Folly" are ten derly and courteously comprised in half a dozen pages. The theme is a prolific one, and might fill a volume. We quote three smart epigrams from " Martial in London." THE LONDON UNIVERSITY. As late the Lord Mayor, from the regions of barter Went up to the King for a Corporate Charter, Quoth Jack (playing billiards), " I guess it won't do : He'll meet with his match--for the King has his cue." " Very true," cried the Marker, who stood near the place, " The King has his cue, and the Mayor has his mace." HERALDRY. Where'er a hatchment we discern, (A truth before ne'er started), The motto makes us surely learn The sex of the departed. If 'tis the husband sleeps, he deems Death's day a " felix dies" Of unaccustom'd quiet dreams, And cries— In ecelo Quies. But if the wife, she from the tomb Wounds, Parthian like, " post tergum," Hints to her spouse his future doom, And threatening cries—Resurgant! WESTMINSTER BRIDGE. As late the Trades' Unions, by way of a show, O'er Westminster Bridge strutted five in a row, " I feel for the bridge," whisper'd Dick, with a shiver, " Thus tried by the snob, it may sink in the river." Quoth Tom, a crown lawyer, " Abandon your fears ; As a bridge, it can only be tried by its piers." ENCYCLOP2EDIA OF GEOGRAPHY. Long- man and Co. We have little to say of this elaborate publication, beyond what we have already said. The present is the fifth part, and bears, in every page evidence of the same skill and diligence that characterised its predecessors. The numer ous wood-cuts are delightful specimens of the art. THE COURT MAGAZINE. Bull and Churton. Though beautifully embellished with a portrait of Lady Louth, and a fine view of Lowther Castle and its adjoining woodland scenery, engraved by Wallace, from a drawing by Daniel, the " Court Magazine"—considering that the sea son is summer—is somewhat heavy this month. Several of the articles are very fine, however, particularly " Horace Leslie," the " Rivals," and Rene Aliva's remarks on Mr. Bulwer's " England and the English," which we consider excellent. On the whole the number before us is a good one, and not the less agreeable that Mr. T. Haynes Bay ley has enriched it with one of his most amusing poetical effusions, well worthy the attention of those youthful scions of the aristocracy who resolve that their offspring shall be able to lay claim to a hereditary taste for stage perfor mances. We regret that we can only afford space for the following :- 46 Oh ! beautiful Miss Fuggleston, I cannot go to sleep ; Oh! exquisite Melpomene, I cannot cease to weep; It is no common lover sues, I'm one of the elite, And I lay my title and myself most humbly at your feet. I've seen you act in Tragedy and tear yourself to bits, I've seen you act in Comedy in artificial fits ; Aria, I've seen you act in Farce, in F autakams and bunts, Displaying a pre-eminence that nobody disputes. I've seen you, in a dying scene, fair flat upon your back ; I've heard you sing so very loud, I thought your voice would crack; And is not this enough to make me wish for such a wife ? Accomplishments like these must shed a charm o'er private life." METROPOLITAN. Saunders and Otley. We have read more attractive numbers than the one now lying before us, though it,is still above mediocrity. The chief fault we have to allege against it is the inordinate— the preposterous length of " Jacob Faithful." This one article alone contains nearly as much matter as a small sized duodecimo volume, and nevertheless has neither be ginning nor end. We do not say that it is not lively, but only that there is too much of it. To be dosed with vi vacity is as bad as to be dosed with dulness. Captain Marryatt, we trust, will be more merciful next month. " Chit-chat" is, as it always is, amusing. " The Ministry" takes part rather too cordially and inconsistently—consider ing the general line of policy which the Metropolitan ad vocates—with the late seceders from the Cabinet. Of a surety, Mr. Stanley has shown himself no real friend to the Church by his retirement. Far better he had remained by the side of those who desire honestly to reform it, than taken up his position with those who would keep up all its an cient and most inveterate abuses. The time is coming when the ex-Secretary for the Colonies will find that he has made a grievous error in judgment. " Sicilian Facts" are novel, and even startling. We may ex t ract t h e g host story on some more leisure day. THE ‘ASIATIC JOURNAL.—Parbury, Allen, 6. Co. There is a manifest improvement in this Magazine for the present month. The articles arc shorter and plea santer than usual. The " Moral System of the Chinese" is a good paper, and contains many moral aphorisms which other Kings and Emperors would be nothing worse to re member, more than the Monarch of the Celestial Empire. present number contains no fewer than thirteen arti to, des on all subjects connected with Indian affairs, besides a host of miscellaneous matter, very carefully selected. The following from " Swartz, the Christian Missionary, will show that honesty is after all the best trait in the cha racter of a diplomatist : " When Swartz was admitted to the audience, Hyder ordered him to sit next him on the floor, and, as a high testimony of bonourt he was not requested to take off his shoes. Ryder listened to all be had to say, observing that, although the Europeans had not kept their faith with him, he was willing to live in peace with them. letter was read to him, in which,' said Ryder, 6I have stated the substance of our conversation ; but you will be able to give further instructions personally.' Swartz, while seated near Hyder, was struck with the expedition with which all public business was con ducted. When he ceased conversing with me, some letters were read to him, and he dictated an immediate answer. The secretaries hastened away, wrote the letter, read it to him, and he affixed his seal to it. He can neither read nor write, but relies on an excel lent memory. Few dared to impose on him. He orders one to write the letter, which is read to him by another ; and if the, • secretary has not strictly con ve y e d hi s mean i ng hi s h ea d paid for it.' On his departure, Swartz, on getting into his ' palanquin, found 300 rupees, which yder had sent him for the expenses of his journey. The conscientious missionary would have declined the present, but Hyder's officers assured him it would endanger their lives if they took it back, and as to returning it personally (Swartz having intimated such a wish), he was told that it was contrary to etiquette to be re-admitted after an audience of leave. " In this negotiation, the frank and manly bearing of the simple and pious missionary did that which no individual of our high-bred diplomatists would have effected. He disarmed Hyder's hostility, and won his confidence • for Hyder, who had great expertness In appreciating character, failed not to discern, under the humble de meanour of Swartz, a degree of talent and fearless integrity of purpose, which commanded his admiration and conciliated his re spect. Had the Madras governor penetrated the designs and cha'! ratter of that powerful enemy, or been as sincere in his professions of peace as his admirable agent, or had he paid due regard to the. warning of Swartz, the storm, which soon afterwards burst over the Carnatic, might have been averted." SPORTING MAGAZINE. Pittman. Contains two spirited engravings : one, " A Falcone!: disgorging a Her o n ;" th e o th er , " R oe b uc k s h oo ti n g." The first is the best. There is more character and e% pression about it. As regards the literary contents, they arc various ; and for readers of a sporting, out-of-doors turn of mind, will teem with interest.

' r - The Great Western Railway Bill has been before the committee nearly the whole of the session, at an expense, it is said, already amounting to upwards of 40,0001. As the proposed alteration in the Old Bailey Courts will take some time, it is imagined that the usual time will be allowed to elapse between the next and the following sessions, and that the new Criminal Court Act will come into operation with the commencement of the usual law year. White-bait parties have this year been unusually numerous ; and the supply of this somewhat novel luxury is said to increase with the consumption, notwithstanding the fact of its extinction, and that of all the fish in the river :hying been a short time ago confidently predicted.

The sugar-works at Guadeloupe have been almost entirely stopped for want of wind to turn the mills, and from the appearance of the season the inhabitants dread the approach of winter.

SINGULAR MANUFACTURE.—It is, probably, very little known that an extensive manufacture is carried on in this ne ighbourhood, by which old rags are made into new cloth. Yet such is the fact, and to so great an extent does this ma nufacture prevail, that at least five million pounds weight of woollen rags are yearly imported from Germany and other parts for this purpose. The rags are subjected to a machine which tears them in pieces, and reduces them nearly to their primitive state of wool ; and they are then, with a small ad mixture of new wool, again carded, slubbed, spun, and woven ; and they make a cloth not very strong, but answering very well for paddings, shoddies, and other purposes of that na ture. The ingenuity deserves praise, which thus resurrec tionises cloth, and gives it a second existence. There is no thing whatever of fraud in the manufacture ; it is a justifiable economy to make the material go as far as it will. The ma uufacture is carried on chiefly in the neighbourhood of Batley --Leer& .Mercury I .......
