The mo tion which he made on the 18th of February was supported by 182 members, while he had only 148 with him last night, owing probably to the circumstance that, while that of the 18th of February related chiefly to the duties of members of the house, the mo tion last night related to the conduct of the Monarch. It called on the KING, in fact, to inquire into the character and claims of those on the list, thereby insinuating that his MAJESTY had granted or confirmed pensions without examination or due consideration. Any such insinuation against the Sovereign is always objected to except on some great emer gency, and we therefore condemn Mr. HARVEY for wording his motion in such a way as to exclude many who are favourable to the prin ciples of just economy and reward of meritori ous services on which the motion was found ed. Mr. STRUTT'S amendment was nearly a fac-simile of Mr. HARVEY'S motion of the 18th of February, and we are glad to find that the minority was raised from 182 to 230, and that such a vast number of the members are decidedly hostile to the objectionable way in which many pensions were originally granted, though they had no wish to interfere with the will of the Sovereign. It was singular enough, that though such strong language was used against some of the pensioners, no defence was set up for them. They were saved, not by the justice of their claims, but by the reluctance of the members tp interfere with an arrangement sanctioned by the KING. We do not envy the feelings which the discussion must excite in every undeserving pensioner, who has a particle of independence left. The words of Lord ALTHORP are very strong on the subject. " There were many individuals on the list who were possessed of large property besides, and as he could not enter into the feelings of others he would say nothing to their continu ing the pension. All that he would say was that if he were so circumstanced he would not continue to receive the pension." The strong feeling evinced by the votes of the house on the two occasions will form some guarantee that such gross abuse of a grant, intended for the best of purposes, will not be sanctioned by any future ministry. We refrained until yesterday from adverting to the bill brought in to correct abuses in the administration of the Poor Laws, because we felt the difficulties of the subject were fully equal to the importance of it. Taking the bill to be the production of those by whom the late repeal of the Poor Laws was framed, we think that a great deal more of deference and consi deration is due to it than it has received at the hands of some of our contemporaries. If we admired the clearness and distinctness of state ment, with the succinctness and appropriate use of details, and their application to principle which distinguished that report when it first appeared, our admiration has been much in creased since we dipped into the multifarious communications contained in the large volumes which have since issued from the Vote Office. We have looked into the bill in vain for grounds to justify the animadversions which have been cast upon it. It has been said that the three Commissioners to be appointed by the bill are to be irresponsible. But is it really so ? Is there not a clause in the bill requiring the com missioners to make annual reports of their pro ceedings to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, which he is directed to lay before f; Parliament ? And in what does the responsibi_ lity of public functionaries in this country really consist ? Is it not in publicity, and through publicity, in the watchfulness of a disposition in human nature that is more inclined to .rfaa. 4 t 'censure than to praise ? What minister er judge is otherwise resyonsible ? How other : - Wise athenable is Ine LORD CHANCELLOR, who htt patronage and power infinitely beyond any other functionary ? If such a dis position to find fault with the Commissioners exists before their labours have begun, will it become dormant during their progress ? Will our magistrates (the main causes of the exist ing evils), whose, importance is to be dirni- , nished, be silent ? Will our farmers (whose erroneous impressions of self-interest have in ducedthem to suppose that they ar e gainers by havin g a portion of their labour paid out of the rate, though they have otherwise become the greatest sufferers by this attempt to make dishonest gains) suffer their interests, though mistaken, to be interfered with, without complaint ? Will our able-bodied paupers (who have made parish pay their plunder, but like other plunderers have been made wretched by their plunder) cease to be clamorous ? A strong and a steady hand is absolutely neces sary to put down these abuses, and should be strengthened, not weakened, by the public press. Personally we do not know any one of the poor law commissioners, and as yet no one can know who are to be the commissioners that are to be appointed by the bill. But we feel that we owe it to men who have produced such a report as they have made upon the poor laws to acknowledge their merits, and to express our sense of the debt of gratitude we think the country owes them. We also owe it to the subject to say that the public press should do its best to assist them in prosecuting their labours, and should not attempt to thwart them in their very threshold. In this spirit we shall endeavour to return to the subject. The French papers of the 4th contain little information. It appears by a letter from Berne that the Swiss Diet is to be convoked, in order to consider the final proposition of Austria re specting political refugees. METTERNICH lives in great fear of them, as well as NICHO- L AS, and they both desire that the Poles may not be allowed to live in any part of the world where they are likely to find sympathy and suc cour. Thank God, they may yet inhabit Eng land, but they want the means of self-support. It appears that Austria will not permit any of them to remain in Switzerland. The following are extracts : Prince Butera had his first audience of King Louis Philip, on Saturday last, when he presented his credentials as Ambassador of the King of Naples to the French Court. Great bustle appeared to exist on the side of Switzerland. Couriers between the Cantons and Paris daily passed through Mehemet Ali, yielding to the advice of the French and British Consuls at Alexandria, has consented to recall the exiled Candiots, and to restore to them their sequestered property. A conspiracy against him had been discovered at Aleppo. Twenty persons said to be implicated in it, were with a promptitude digne d'ennie in Europe, imme diately executed. Two St. Simonians, who had gone to Egypt in search of " the free woman," and failed, had en tered the service of the Pacha. The 61st regiment, in garrison in Paris, appears to have been like others previously mentioned, impregnated with republicanism. The 55th regiment, which had acquired such unenviable celebrity by its doings at Grenoble and in the Rue Transnonain, Paris, is about to be removed to St. Cloud, partly because of the daily quarrels in which the soldiers of it are involved with the people, and partly because the royal family are about to take up their summer residence in the Chateau (St. Cloud). The news from Spain, contained in the Paris papers, is uninteresting. Our Bayonne letter (dated 30th ult. ) states that El Locho (a Carlist chief) had been defeated in an action with the Queen's troops in La Mancha, on the 17th April, with the loss of 107 men killed, and 20 prisoners. Don CA RL OS has sent a confidential agent to the POPE. Is it to ask for an asylum in the Papal states, or absolution for the crime of re sisting the authority of the legitimate Sovereign of his country, and aiding the usurper in Por tugal? The Neapolitan government has appointed an - ambassador without naming the place to which he is to be sent. It is supposed that he is to go to Spain. The army of Don MIGUEL at Santarem is 11,500. That of the QUEEN is as follows : SALDANHA'S army opposed to him amounts to about 12,500, besides which the QUEEN has 8,000 men at Oporto and Leyria, near 5,000 at Lisbon, 2,000 at Setubal and Pal mella, and between 4 and 5,000 in the Soule— in all above 32,000 troops of the line ; more than 2,000 of whom are cavalry. The troops are regularly paid and well fed, and the com missariat well conducted. Since these returns were made, the Spanish army has entered Spain, and the PEACEFUL, or QUADRUPLE, ALLIANCE has been formed, which gives a moral force to the legitimate government of Portugal far exceeding all the rest. Can the issue be doubtful ? And what must be the infatuation of those who still cling to the Usurper ? The Brussels and German papers contain nothing of importance. JEROME BONAPARTE is on his way to this country. The Pesth Gazette mentions the arrival of the Archduke FERDINAND of Este at Clau senburg, on the Bth April, where he was re ceived with great pomp. Five per cent. Meta ll iques, 97% ; Four per cent., 874 ; Bank Shares, 1242. Colonel Torrens, following the very laudable example set by Sir Robert Wilmot Horton, has un dertaken the task of delivering to the London Me chanics' Institution a course of lectures upon wages and profits. The first of these lectures will be deli vered on Wednesday evening next, at the rooms of the Mechanics' Institution, in Southampton-buildings. Should the honourable member succeed in explaining to the working classes the circumstances which cause- wages and profits to rise or fall, he will confer upon them, and upc-t the country, a benefit of no ordinary magnitude. A reduction of nearly 10 per cent. 4s. per cwt. has taken place in the price of soap. The public will now certainly have the full benefit of the reduction of the duty. FEATS IN WALKING. The power of walking great distances without fatigue is an impor tant matter, in which the English have of late ex celled. A good walker will do six miles an hour, for one hour, on a good road. If in perfect training he may even do twelve miles in the two hours. Eighteen miles in three hours is a still more doubtful affair, though some one is said to have achieved it. At the rate of five miles an hour, pedestrians of the first class will do forty miles in eight hours, and perhaps fifty in ten. At the rate of four miles an hour a man may walk any length of time.—Walker's Manly Exerciaci. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT THIS DAY, TUESDAY, NAY 6. HOUSE OF COMMON& The SPEAktR took the chair at a few minutes past 12 o'clock. Petitions were presented by Colonel L. Hay from the Earl of Moray and Sir H. W. Drummond against the Edinburgh Police Bill ; by Sir E. Knatchbull, from Dart ford, against the Islington market. The report of the Limerick 'Waterworks Bill was brought up by Mr. Roche. The Suffolk Insurance Company Bill was read a second time on the motion of Mr. Newton Shawe. The Glas gow and Spotts Road Bill was read a third time, on the motion of Mr. Ewing ; the Dorchester Improvement s bill a second time, on that of Lord Ashley ; the Wisham Rail way Bill a second time, on the motion of Mr. Maxwell ; the Newcastle Water-works Bill was read a second time, as moved by Mr. Rippon. A series 'of amendments were put and read a third time, connected with the Grand Junction Railway Bill, introduced by l Mr. Wilson Patten. The Report of the Court of Requests was brought up by Mr. Poulett Thomson, and ordered to be printed. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Mr. GISBORNE was about to offer some remarks on the subject before the house yesterday when the SPEAKER left the chair, when Sir ROBERT PEEL said he had had a petition to present on the subject of agricultural distress, from South Derby, and was anxious that an op portunity should be afforded him to do so ; but, as the hon. member (Mr. Gisborne) intimated he would make a speech, he dreaded a further postponement to the perform ing of what he considered a duty to the petitioners. Some arrangements should be made to facilitate the presenting of petitions. _ GISBORNE observed he likewise had many peti tions, and so had other hon. gentlemen. _ _ Lord JOHN RUSSELL considered that it was but reasonable that petitions should be first presented, and de bated afterwards. Sir R. PEEL suggested that some classification should take place for petitions ; let certain days be appointed for dissenters', and others for agricultural petitio ns . After a few words from Mr. WILKs and Mr. GILLoN, The SPEAKER remarked that the arrangements pre viously made for presenting petitions had totally failed, in consequence of discussions being resumed and continued on petitions, while several hon. members were waiting for an opportunity to present their respective petitions. If a particular order of petitions were presented on a certain day, and notice placed on the paper to that effect, it would be convenient for all parties, as by reference to the notice it could be ascertained, while an opportunity would be given to present petitions on any particular subject. Sir R. PEEL suggested the appointment of a select committee of five or seven gentlemen, who would sit on Thursday of the preceding week, for the purpose of re ceiving information, and arranging the presentation of petitions. These gentlemen could ascertain the number and nature of the petitions, and appoint, say Monday, for agricultural petitions, and if there were a great number, Wednesday also should be set apart. Unless ho nourable members would act from a sense of con venience, it would be impossible to get on with the business of the house, and if that arrangement was adopted, much time would be saved. Lord AL THORP agreed with the suggestion of the right hon. baronet ; the only inconvenience that would re sult from the committee sitting on Thursday would be that hon. members who received petitions on Thursday could not present them till the following week. Sir R. PEEL observed that if the petitions belonged to any of the classes appointed for presentation, he should not object to their being received. Lord AL THORP thought the experiment worth trying. Mr. WILKS objected to the arrangement, as in or der to present petitions hon. members would be obliged to attend every day in the week, whereas, by the present ar rangement, a gentleman having a dozen petitions upon different subjects to present could get rid of them altogether. Lord JOHN RUSSELL did not think there was any thing very decisive in the objection of the hon. member, when compared with the inconvenience of coming down every day, and not being able to present one. Mr. PEASE complained that he had never had an op portunity of presenting some petitions intrusted to him. After a discussion, in which Sir R. Vyvyan, Mr. P. Thomson, Sir R. Peel, Lord Althorp, Sir E. Knatchbull, Mr. C. Wynn, Mr. Pryme, and Mr. Be ne tt, t oo k p ar t, The SPEAER said he thought the discussion had gone far enough. The suggestion of the right hon. baronet appeared to be a very good one, and it would oblige the committee to look to the orders of the day, and make a proper arrangement as to the petitions which should be presented at each sitting. Petitions from protestant dissenters, praying for relief from grievances, were then presented by Mr. Gisborne, from Walsall and other places in Staffordshire ; by Mr. 31. Phillips, from places in Manchester; by Mr. Gillon, from various places in Scotland, praying for the separation of church and state,:the:signatures being 58,782 ; byMr. Houlds worth, from places in Nottingham, in favour of the established Church ; by Mr. Wilks, from Blackburn; from the Rev. Dr. Pye Smith and congregation, at Hackney ; from the Rev. H. Townley, Spitalfields ; from White End-road Chapel ; from Walford, Herts ; from Cottenham. Cam bridge ; from Haddenham, Isle of Ely ; from Stone, Staf fordshire ; from New Broad-street, London ; from Apple don, against the Church Rates Bill ; and from the Pro testant Society for the protection of religious liberty, against the same bill ; by Mr. Lloyd, from Stock port ; by Sir Edward Knatchbull, from Graduates of Oxford and Cambridge, residing in East Kent, against the bill introduced by Lord John Russell, by Mr. D. W. Howie, from various places in Essex ; from Suffolk, by an hon. member; by Mr. Benett, from Wiltshire; by Sir R. Vyvyan, from the graduates of Oxford and Cambridge, residing near Bristol, against the bill of Lord John Rus sell ; by Mr. Shaw, from Aldborough and other pl aces ; 'by Col. Williams, rom several places in Lancashire ; by Mr. Pease, from Warminster and other places ; by Mr. P. Williams, from Great Marlow ; from Bradford, signed by 6,000 persons ; by Mr. Stewart, from Hereford ; by Mr. Gisborne, from Manchester, signedby 22,000 persons. Mr. P. THOMSON supported the last petition in some of its statements, but said it ought not to be consideredas the petition of the number of dissenters by which it professed to be si g ned , for there was a great difference of opinion among dissenters themselves as to what they really re quired. At all events he should never support the separa tion of church and state. Mr. GILLON expressed a hope that the petitions which had been presented would receive that attention which so numerous and eminently intelligent and influential a body of people deserved. They formed a striking contrast to the declaration of the established church, which was hawked about for signatures, and, after all, could obtain but very few. He could answer for the people of Scot land, that they were attached to their own form of wor ship, but not all to the connection between church and state. The hon. member then went into statements showing that in the city of Edinburgh the collections were greater in dissenting places than in the churches, and that the seats in the former were more nu merous and constantly occupied than in the latter, the people choosing to act upon the voluntary principle ; and the disparity of the number of communicants in all England, was as 6 to 1 out of the whole popula tion in favour of the Dissenters. Colonel EVANS, in supporting the prayer of the peti tion, stated his hope that the tone of the present peti tions, on this subject, would convince his Majesty's ministers that half measures would not do. In his opinion, the strong statements in the petitions were justified by the meas\ures which had been introduced by his Majesty's ministers measures as meagre as it wa s possible to conceive. In' his opinion, the cumpulsory principle was not necessary to induce religious belief. With the exception of Constantinople and Madrid, there were no capitals in the world but London that had not in stitutions empowered to grant those privileges of which the dissenters complained of being deprived. Mr. LANGDALE was willing to grant relief to the dissenters with respect to births and marriages, but could not go the extent of the petition, for the separation of church and state. Lord ALTHORP concurred with several of the hon. members who had addressed the house in the course of the debate, that it was a great grievance on the dissen ters to compel them to go through a religious ceremony of which they disapproved. The bill introduced by his noble friend, in his opinion, removed those grievances entirely. (Hear.) The dissenters were dissatisfied with that measure, because it did not go the whole length which they requested. In his opinion the Mar riage Bill would have removed every grievance of which the dissenters had cause to complain. (Hear, hear , hear.) With :respect to the entire separation of the church from the state, that was to say the destruction of the established religion of the country, he could not concur, but he was quite prepared to go . as far as he could consistently with the preservation of the established religion, in giving the dissenters relief from every grievance that could press upon them, with respect to the marriage rites, church rates, or general registration. Though great dis satisfaction had been expressed with respect to the bill which he had introduced for the relief of the dissenters, he felt that it would give satisfaction. He had heard no arguments urged to convince him of the neces sity of altering it. Mr. OSWALD could not agree with the prayer of the petition which prayed for a separation of church and state. After some observations from Lord CLE3IENTS, Sir R. VYVYAN, and Mr. Maim PHILLIPS, in explanation, it being three o'clock, the SPEAKER left the chair, and the debate was adjourned.

Montreal papers to the 2d of April, Quebec to the same date, and Bombay to the sth of January, have been re ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house ; also a Jamaica mail, by the Mutine—sailed on the Ist of April, and a Lisbon mail, by the Savage—sailed on the 29th of April ; by which arrivals a large quantity of papers have been received. (From the Montreal Papers.) " The frosty weather we have recently experienced during the night, nearly counteracts ad the effects pro duced by the powerful influence of the sun during the day; the streets, however,. are losing their covering of ice and snow. " From all parts of the Canadas we receive the pleasing intelligence of the opening of the navigation." (From the Quebec Papers.) " St. John's, New Brunswick. " The Assembly have rescinded their former vote of 14,0001. annually for the civil list, and resolved to address his Majesty's Government once more on this important question." (From the Jamaica Papers of the 31st March. ) " We have received Bermuda papers to the Bth March. They announce that a bill has been brought up to the House of Assembly, for the final extinction of slavery on the Ist of August. Accounts received at Jamaica, from Aladeira, state that the governor of that island was deter mined to hold out to the last, provided that an overwhelm ing force did not make its appearance. The clergy thex'e are in favour of Don Miguel, and most of the British resi dents are favourable to the cause of the young Queen. The governor has ordered the theatre there to be razed to the ground, in the event of Admiral Napier approaching. (From the Bombay Papers.) " A prosecution has been commenced againstthe Madras Gazette, for a letter signed ' An East Indian Franklin.' " (From the New York Commercial List, April 9.) " TREASURY OF THE UNITED STATES.-REMOVAL - OF DEPOSITS. " The under-mentionedlocal banks (too long to give), have been selected instead of the Bank of the United States, and its branches, as depositories of the public re venues. " The amount of specie on hand, between the Ist of Ja nuary and sth of February last, was 3,600,000 dol lars. The total amount of specie in the Bank of the United States and its branches, at the same period, was about eleven millions of dollars. The amount of the public re venue of the United States in deposits, from eight to ten millions of dollars." THE FUNDS As was generally expected, Ministers have carried the day on Mr. Harvey's motion by a great majority, and it is now thought that they stand on firmer ground than ever, and cannot be easily shaken. This has had a little effect on the funds this morning. Consols, which left off yester day at 92h, opened at 92 1 4 % for the Account, with an appearance of a firm market. The information received by the Lisbon mail is not of that favourable nature as was anticipated. Pedro's army appears still to be the order of the day ; the foreign troops, and Colonel Bacon with his Lancers, who so bravely fought his battles, are now, it ap pears, deserted by him, turned out, and Portuguese offi cers replace them. This is gratitude with a vengeance. Owing to the above information Portuguese and Spanish Stocks have receded. Spanish 36 1 7 1 ' • Portuguese 764 3/4 ; Portuguese up to 76% 77 ; Spanish 36 3 % %. HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. Within a short period a certain panic has taken place in the Portuguese and Spanish Securities, which have re ceded 2 per cent. ; Spanish from 37 to 35 1 4 ; Portuguese, from 77/ 4 to 76%. The cause of the fall is attributed to a private letter in town, and exhibited at Lloyd's, stating that the Spanish troops have never entered Portugal. The following is an extract of a letter from Lisbon, dated the 27th of April : " The north of the Douro is now entirely free, and the Duke of Terceira is rapidly approaching the south. The Spaniards, it is also said, are advancing upon Santarem, and we daily expect to hear of the Miguelites having made some desperate effort to get off." Consols are at present 92% for the Account. A further fall in Spanish—done at 31%. Report says the Spanish bankers have the loan. THREE O'CLOCK. Consols for the Account, 921.

The boy followed them, and renewed his endeavours to obtain money, when, upon one of the ladies turning round to expostulate with him for his rudeness in persisting to follow them, the monkey sprang at her and caught hold of her arm, making a large incision, from which the blood flowed copiously. Both ladies were terribly frightened ; the lady who was bitten fainted, and was with great diffi culty conveyed to her residence in Elliot Vale, where medical assistance was immediately rendered. The boy immediately scampered off in great alarm the mo ment the accident occurred. This is not the first in stance of such a circumstance having occurred in the vicinity of Greenwich. Deptford has lately become a place of great resort for these vagabonds, in conse quence of their having been driven from the metropolis. —Greenwich Gazette. RECOLLECTIONS OF A NAVAL LIFE.— Of Captain Scott's entering the service of his early years, we shall say nothing more than that his youth ful passion for the profession was commensurate with the great variety and constant activity of his employ ment in every clime, and under every circumstance of hardship and danger. Starvation, wreck, risk, and battle, have been his daily fare ; and that he is alive to tell us of his hairbreadth 'stapes, is about as much of a miracle as if he had been dead three or four times, and resuscitated in order to write his posthumous me moirs. The remarkable statements respecting the war in the Chesapeake would alone eminently entitle this work to attention.—Literary Gazette. LITERATURt. THE METROPOLITAN. We were unable to notice this. Magazine on the first of the month, because, as usual, it had not then reached us ; we have since, however, perused, and been much entertained, with its agreeable, mis cellaneous contents. Jacob Faithful continues his sketchy autobiography, and is, indeed, the main prop and stay of the number. The " Story of a Student" is a tale of a sombre H Penseroso caste, the incidents of which would have been more effec tive had they been brought out with more graphic skill. " The Sycophancy of Fashion" is a frank and manly expose of some of the more glaring fol lies of our aristocratic or exclusive circles. Black wood had an article of precisely the same useful, warning tendency a few months since. " Impri sonment for Debt," independently of the nature of the subject, will be read with attention, from the numerous sparkling anecdotes with which it is in terspersed'. NEW SPORTING MAGAZINE. The present number comes specially recom mended to us by some able remarks by Nimrod, on the casualties to which stage-coaches are liable, and suggestions for their prevention. These sugges tions are put forth in a pleasing, unassuming man ner,—but indeed Mr. Apperton is remarkable for the ease and grace with which be writes on all sub jects connected immediately or remotely with sport ing. The embellishments are two in number, and both cleverly executed portraits of those well-known horses, Eglinton and Shakspeare. We give an extract of Russian Drosky driving : " The drosky is a very low four-wheeled carriage, the body of which is so near the ground, that the lower part of one's dress is either enveloped in dust or besmeared with mud. It is, in fact, nothing more than a narrow bench, at the hinder part of which is a small back, about as high as the middle of a man's body, and against which he leans, straddling across the bench with his legs straight down on each side like a dragoon on his horse; if a second person, he sits on the same bench sideways, with nothing to rest his back against • and then, in front of all, comes the driver, with hi s legs also across it, and separated only from the person next to him by a small iron bar, about six inches high, which, affording him no support, he must necessarily, should there be two persons, jolt against the one sitting nearest to him. The public drosky-drivers are all dressed alike ; they wear an ill-shaped low-crowned hat with a buckle on it ; a blue coat, which folds over the breast, and is tied round the waist by a sash, the skirts hanging a little below the knees ; and trousers of great width tucked inside the boot, which comes rather more than half way up the calf of the leg. The colour of the trousers is sometimes similar to that of the coat, or only a few shades lighter ; but frequently they are of a light pink, when new; these, however, soon become dark enough, from the filth that is accumulated on them. On their backs they carry a tin plate, on which is marked their number. They all wear long beards, and are altogether, to an English eye, queer-looking charioteers. " Some of the droskies belonging to private gentlemen are neat and pretty looking little carriages. They have what are called, I believe, splashing-leathers, to ward off the dirt, and are furnished with padded seats and backs ; but as they are on the same principle as the public drosky, they are, like them, very inconvenient for more than one person. They are generally drawn by two horses, one of which does all the work, and the other is merely kept for show, being taught to bend its neck outwards, and toss the head up and down. This bearing of its head has a dashing and spirited effect at first sight, but when once accustomed to it, one is apt to pronounce it a foolish fashion, as it must certainly be a very painful action to the poor creature, who has no doubt learnt it to his cost. We were given to un derstand that what is considered by the Russian gentry to be ' the knowing thing' is, to bring the show-horse to such a pitch of agility that, while driving rapidly, he shall touch the ground with his nostrils, and toss the snow up in the air as he prances along. Some of those we observed could very nearly, as I thought, accomplish this feat." MEHEMET ALI-THE TURKS AND THE JEWS. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) MEHEMET ALI, nowithstanding the fail ' ings which belong to him, possesses a character more European than any of his predecessors, or, so far as we know, of his contemporaries among the Mahometan powers. The extent of his conquests, only stopped for a time, whilst he is recruiting his strength, and increasing his means, must give him a moral - influence over Turkey almost equivalent to the actual possession of it, and whenever any favourable circumstance shall present the opportunity, it will enable him to make an easy conquest of it. England and France will take care that the Autocrat does not possess himself of it, and even if that were possible, it would be difficult for any European Power to retain it long against one who is connected by religious as well as other ties with the people. The Turks are, naturally a proud and warlike nation, and they will easily transfer their allegiance from an unfortunate and indolent Monarch, to one who . sympathizes with their feelings, and displays that energy of character which they have been accustomed to admire and revere. If Turkey cannot maintain her influence against Russian intrigue and power under her present Sove reign, she may do so when associated with Egypt under a monarch of a totally different character. If money is wanting, MEHEMET so long as he holds the sovereignty of Syria, must have means of obtaining whatever his ne cessities may require. There is a people pos sessed of vast wealth who value that land above all others. It is clearly the interest of England to cultivate a commercial connection with Egypt. In Poland, Morocco, and Turkey, 'the Jews are numerous, intelligent, and prosperously en gaged in commercial affairs ; yet they are op pressed, and constantly exposed to the evils which arise from a feeling of •insecurity. Let the English nation set another example to the world of enlightened liberality. Let the Jews be emancipated ; and not only so, but let our e t r re p a r t es t e h n e tat y e e w s s ii w i ittllrcountrie attention.s we h vvi a i v e e re i v i e a r m N e v c e l have influence let it be employed in favour of the deserving among them. They have formed and led the way to the formation of a middle or trading class in every country in which they have been tolerated, ,and it is through them that a new and advantageous commercial con nection may be carried on with Egypt, Turkey, and parts of Africa, with which we have at present no commercial connection, and of which we have yet comparatively little knowledge. A maiden lady, named Thierry, died lately at Chateauneuf, in France, at the extreme age of 104 yers and 11 months, who retained her mental facul ties to the last. About 50 years ago her constitution was considered so debilitated, that some persons con ceived they were making a profitable speculation by purchasing her estate for a very considerable annuity for her life. A novel of a very remarkable character is about to appear, connected with the fortunes and fate of an English family of wealth and influence. A more striking history never, in this or any other coun try, attracted the pen of the romance-writer, and re port ascribes no ordinary power to that which has now undertaken it. The name of the work is " Rook wood." There has, of late, been no deficiency of Spanish, German, French, and Oriental fictions ; we shall now have a strictly English romance ; and though the tale is said to be of a strictly tragic nature, it will not be without the relief of comedy in its minor characters, among whom figure the jovial highwayman Ned Turpin, and a crew of Roystering gipseys. Ned, it is true, is not so poetical a robber as Robin Hood, but he is not less hearty or daring, and can boast of more surprising achievements than were ever per formed by his predecessor of merry Sherwood.
