!et v.• VW MAGAZINE DAY. La BLACKWOOD' S MAGAZINE. "; After formally announcing the decease of the Constitution, and delivering at least a dozen funeral discourses over its ashes, Blackwood has just dis covered that it is as vigorous and frolicsome as ever, and likely to survive to a good old age, notwith standing the violent cathartics that Whig and Radical physicians have for two years past been almost daily administering to it. The " Presert State of Parties" congratulates the country on the perfect convalescence of the Constitution, and broadly asserts that " the last six months have Opened more cheering prospects to the country than I v , any which have dawned upon it, since the fall of the Duke of Wellington's Administration." If this be really the case, what a false prophet has Blackwood shown himself ! How much excellent vituperation has he wasted ! Not six, nay not three months since, he assured us all was lost—not a fragment of constitutional liberty was left ;—the Whigs and Radicals between them had picked the carcase clean to the bone. We have seldom met with a more curious article than the one to which we have been alluding. It is full of the drollest inconsistencies. The writer has gone out a mare's-nesting, and come home, like Lord Londonderry, with an armful. The beginning of his diatribe congratulates us that all is right ; the middle condoles e with us that all is wrong ; and the end vaguely hints that all is but . 8 ,0-so. The writer's lamentations over the declining business of the lawyers, " two-thirds of whose busi- bees the Reform Bill has utterly annihilated," is by l l° means the least extraordinary portion of his diatribe. With just as much propriety might Moses have condoled with Pharaoh on the cessation of the plague of locusts. Altogether the article is one of the most inconclusive and contradictory we have lately met with, and seems modelled on one of Mr. Baring's speeches, the first half of which always answers the last half. " The Cruise of the Midge" Possesses much of the rough, racy vigour of Tom Cringle's log. There is some strong painting in this extract " At length the old man made a violent effort at corn 4re,—' Gentlemen, you will both pardon me ; disease * 0 broken me down, and fairly unhinged me ; and I couldi ,, You see, cry like a woman. I had, indeed, a very pecut4, j a r cause for loving that boy. I fancy, God help me'— Here the large tears streamed over his old cheeks, that had Mood the washing up of many a salt spray—' that I see n now " Where?' said I, somewhat startled. He did not no tice the interruption. " I believe he had not an enemy in the world ; lam sure he will be lamented by every man and officer in the Ship, poor young fellow. But come, gentlemen, enough a n? to spare of this'—and he rose up, and strode across the cabin,, speaking with a forced composure, as we could ea s.uY perceive. We must all die, in a sick bed or in t au on shore or at sea ; and those who, like him, `'u fighting gallantly, are better off than others who drag t hrough a tedious and painful disease. This is trite talk g, gentle men ; b u t it i s t rue —God's will be done ! Peace to him, poor boy ; peace to him.' ".Thinki ng he w a s ma d, I severa l ti m es tried to break in, ` 4ll disburden my mind of the whole story ' • but he always w aved me dow n i m p a ti en tly, an d con ti nue d to walk back wards and forwards very impetuously. " At length he made a full stop, and looked earnestly in Te first lieutenant's face—' He behaved gallantly, and 'lied nobly—all his wounds in the front ?' 0 ; I could allo w thi s t o go on no l onger .

Mr. Brail ; for God Almighty's sake, tell me the worst at once.' '" Sir Oliver, he is missing.' His hands dropped by his side, as if suddenly struck with 3 3' ; his jaw fell, and his voice became hollow, tremulous, ti indistinct, as if the-muscles of his lips and tongue re th to do their office. When he spoke, it seemed es if e ed words had been formed in his throat—' Missing !' at Yes, Sir Oliver,' said Sprawl, utterly thunderstruck is suPerior' s conduct—' Mr. De Walden is missing.' _ " The old man staggere d, an d wou ld h ave f a ll en , h a d h e hecaught hold of the scroll head of the sofa. I thought e bad fainted, but he gradually recovered himself and itood erect." To our Old House Clock" is a quaint poem, f ull of familiar images, and might hare been penned b 37 C. Lamb. "My Cousin Nicholas" is a collec tion of anecdotes strung together without much arrangement, but in a very lively manner. The old ollege joke of the under-graduate denying himself his own father, when surprised by him at one of the' London theatres, is well worked up. " The Sl i' 4 4er "is getting prolix. He does not vary his th eme sufficiently. " Christopher on - Colonsay" is a nother of Professor Wilson's impassioned tributes to the beauties of Winandermere. TAIT'S MAGAZINE. Tait has this month sent forth a very clever num ber. The Old Black Crow" is a poeni as full of • meaning and originality as any thing in Coleridge's Sybilline Leaves. It is very much in his manner. `` The Hanwell Lunatic Asylum" is one of the most aseful papers Miss Martineau ever penned. There much truth and sagacity in this remark :—" In a quaker lunatic asylum the proportion of cures is not li kely to be great, because quaker lunacy being sel cinra caused by drunkenness or the violence of the 13 : 841 ° 11 8, usually proceeds from some deeper and more unmanageable cause." The following is a curious trait of popular character worthy of note. The writer is speaking of Mr. Ellis, wife of the keeper of the Hanwell Asylum : ._` M rs . Ellis's efforts to procure for them a gradual and :".? re-admittance into th e wor ld h ave f a il e d, t h oug h h er :0 ' e stie s were comp li e d w i th by the committee.

Victor Hugo" is a criticism by 0. P. Q. on the I %'ork s of this popular French author. Its g reat fault is that it is too wordy and discursive. O.P. Q. s hould study the art of condensation—a valuable art an age intolerant of aught that wears the aspect of p ro li x i ty in speech, poem, or essay. " Life of Sir John Moore" is one of those able criticisms which told so well in Johnstone's and Political Register s are Mag azine. The Literary well drawn up. FRA SER' S MAGAZINE. _ __ _ Leigh Hunt figures full-length in this month's s ll ery of Literary Characters. It i s an admirable ' li keness ; but there is a whimsical forlornness and at itiety in the expression of the countenanc e , just • 414 . if th e portra i t h a d b een s k e tched wh en th e ori tlet..44l Was making a sudden halt round the corner C . having been hotly pursued by a bailiff, wh om v e ir had thrown o ff th e scent b y an ingenious double. e , de not mean to assert that the sketc h was t a k en but r s uch disadvantageous c i rcums tances ; i t b „ te ,allY it l oo k s very like it, for the shirt-collar s • Tliordered, the hat in the hand, the hair dishevelled , . 1 11 4 t h-" " tangles of Newra's hair," the figure rest ' testr i nst a d oor - pos t, an d t h e eye d enot i ng a read se uneasy vigilance, as though Mr. Hunt was to. be off again at a moment's notice. The istrative mem o i r is waspish and ill-natured. " Ireland and the Irish" is a spirited extravaganza, after the most approved. ('Doherty fashion. " Fa ther Prout" continur; 1 :.; r!tr-ons in this num- ber. The paper I:: tior.tnl .4 . on.. though there is rather too much partyl? of classi- lore about it. The translation of Campbell's battle of " I lhen linden" into Latin Sapphics, is " free and easy," and evidently a hasty production, or the author would not render the term " battle-blade" by " rutilante cultro." The substantive " culler," as may be seen by the derivation, refers exclusively to an agricul tural implement, such as the coulter of a plough, or a pruning knife. We do not remember one single instance in which it has ever been used to signify a sword-blade. It has certainly been applied to a razor, with the exponent " tonsorius" prefixed ; but there is a wide difference between a razor and a sword, though both have been used to cut throats with. There are also one or two trifling errors in the hexameter and pentameter translation of Moore's Irish Melody, " Let Erin remember the days of old." For instance, in the lines— " Quando tacet ventus Neaghe dum margine lentus Piscator vadit, vesperce ut umbra cadit." The last syllable in "quando" if we mistake not, is long, as in the following line from Horace " 01:rus, quando ego to aspiciam, quandoque licebit ?" Whereas it is here made short. The " vesperw ut umbra cadit," can scarcely be called good idiomatic Latinity ;it is pure English. We do not point out these venial slips in any carping or pedantic spirit ; but simply because mechanical correctness is the main requisite in Latin versification. We know of no other recommendation that it possesses, unless ' indeed in the hands of such a consummate scholar as the late Vincent Bourne, whose translation of * Margaret's Ghost" is equal to any thing in Tibullus. On the whole, however, " Father Prout" shows himself a most amusing and learned old Friar, and we hope may long continue his vivacious prattle. " Haydon's Reform Banquet" is a mas terly dissection of this eccentric artist's published illustration of his Reform picture. The reviewer satirically observes that the painter has made Mr. Bulwer look with his lavish abundance of whiskers like " a middle-aged goat." " High-ways and Low-ways" is a laudatory notice of Mr. Ainsworth's ftookwood," an able romance, but executed in a most perverse and exaggerated spirit. The flash song which is quoted and praised so highly is purely disgusting. We have no space for comment on the other articles. NEW lIIONTHEr MAGAZINE. The merits of Miss Martineau's Illustrations of Political Economy are here analysed in a very just and searching spirit, not anxious to find fault, but by no means prone to overrate. " Dialogues of the Liiing" are in parts smartly written ; but with the exception of that between Bunn and Yates, the major and minor managers, they want character. There is nothing decided about them ; they are neither serious nor humorous, which, in dialogues written for periodicals, is an error. " The Dissent ing Minister" is a pretty tale from the pen of Miss Mitford, who seems far gone in admiration of the dramatic talent of the present century. We cannot say we share her ecstacy. " Martial in London" contains one good epigram " Craven-street, Strand. In Craven-street, Strand, ten attorneys find place, And ten dark coal-barges are moor'd at its base. Fly, Honesty, fly ! seek some safer retreat ; Fur there's craft in the river, and craft in the street." Ten attorneys in one small street ! Heaven help the inhabitants! " Sketches of Human Folly" is brief indeed, considering the abundance of materials the author had to work on. However, it is a clever essay, containing one or two curious matters about some old English conjurors. " The late Scenes in the House of Lords" delicately insinuates a suspi cion that the highest court of judicature in the kingdom is fast degenerating into a bear-garden, the camp of which degeneracy is asserted to be owing to Lord Brougham. There is much anile twaddle in this article. " Hints on Hypochondria" are sensible, and may be read with advantage by all who are predisposed to the blues. But how comes the author to recommend Smollett as a novelist who gives cheerful, sunny pictures of life ? Never was such a mistake. Smollett is a splenetic carica turist, who never drew but one amiable character, Captain Bowling. A tinge of sour misanthropy taints all he has ever written. There is not one particle of bonhommie or good-nature in all his works. " King Lear" is a clever notice of Mac ready's late performance of that character. MONTHLY MAGAZINE. " The Poor Laws' Amendment Bill" is well-timed and well-reasoned. A month later, and it would have met with scarce one reader out of a hundred. "Palmyra" is a very polished specimen of that me chanical versification which rarely fails to carry off the prize at Oxford and Cambridge. " Leaves from a Log," contain one or two spirited nautical sketches. The public, however, is becoming rather sea-sick of this sort of composition. " Wives of the Caesars" is imbued with an elegant classic spirit : the character of Cleopatra in particular is well por trayed, and has evidently been a labour of love. " Andalusian Sketches" contain nothing remark able, but, nevertheless, form very pleasant reading. From the " Biographical Notes on Talma" we extract two amusing anecdotes : " An anecdote is related of Talma, which sets in a powerful light the spell in which he held his audience, whom he kept so fast bound in the delusion of the scene, as to make them feel it reality. He was playing Hamlet in one of the provincial theatres : at the moment when he was about to plunge the dagger into the guilty breast of his mother, a piercing cry, instantly followed by a great com motion, was heard issuing from a box near the stage. A veteran officer, of tried courage, who had again and again distingui s h e d himself in the field, had had his nervous system so intensely wrought upon by the - powerful acting of Talma, that his frame could no longer sustain itself against the force of its inward workings, and uttering a i c nmm r ei y rinn , vuoe h tdue e issa h , te a ecx d locymi t fallen eienmargertni in a f a i n ti ng fit f rom hi s seat.

There are severa l ver y interesting articles i n this Number, among the best, or at least the most readable of which, is an account of his Majesty's recent visit to the Royal Military College at Sand hurst, which is prefaced with some very pertinent observations on " Military Education." " Tripoli as It Is," gives a curious account of the French system of intrigue that is now in progress in this African city, though all attempts at civilization would seem to be as hopeless here as at Algiers. " Leaves from my Log Book" rrntain one bricf, hasty sketch of a sea-fight . , whi , .. n extract :-- " Down came the enemy, theline- lat tle-ship lcad . : and the frigates following each ether 4 it. , Lly in her wake. The breeze was fresh, the sky was bright and clear, the water perfectly smooth, wheil the strangers, having suc cessively brought the Forti do on their beam, suddenly shifted their ensigns, and thTtri-eolour of France fluttered in the wind. In an instant red flames issued from their sides, and the murderous shower of iron was seen dancing along the surface of the water, and scattering the spray like a shoal of flying-fish with the albacore in chase. " Onward came the enemy, threading through the con voy and firing as fast as the men could load the guns, the whole of the ships that could get them within range re turning the fire with a precision and steadiness that made almost every shot tell, and the sails of the frigates were flying away in long narrow shreds. " The position in which we were placed prevented our receiving, at first, more than a few straggling shot, but one of the frigates luffing up to pass across our stern, poured in a tremendous raking fire ; and never shall I forget my sensations as the shot came through the after-windows, crashing and tearing the works away, and sweeping down many brave fellows along the whole range of the gun-deck, which was in some parts literally strewed with the mangled bodies of the dead and dying. The frigate passed on and let go her anchor, with the intention of laying herself upon the Commodore's quarter ; but the breeze being fresh, and the remnant of her sails flying in disorder, the anchor would not hold the ground, and she drifted down to the leeward, bringing up on the larboard bow of the Asia, and the starboard-beam of the Lady Melville. We hauled upon our spring, brought our broadside to bear, and the frigate found herself in a warm berth, from the well directed guns of the two Indiamen, whilst the smoke be came so thick and general, that it was hardly possible to see what was going on at any great distance from us. " My first impulse was to keep near old Harvey, who was steadily manoeuvring two of the quarter-deck carronades, with as much coolness as if he was engaged upon themost ordinary job. ' So, so, lads, don't be in a hurry,' cried the veteran ; ' hand here that bunch of grapes—there, my boy, ram well home whilst I prick the cartridge— home ! Man the tackles and run out the gun. Steady, so lads—steady ! Elevate the breech a little ! High enough ! Now, young gentleman,' he continued, address ing himself to me, cast your eye along that sight, :.d'ye mind, as soon as the smoke clears ; the muzzle is point blank for the frigate's quarter-deck. I always pay that mark of respect to the officers.' I looked as he directed, as soon as an opportunity was afforded, though I could not but think the old man's mark of respect was a very equi vocal one. Did you ever see a gun better laid ?' he in quired ; and then added, but, Lord love you, I'm an old fool ; 'tis your first trip, and what can you know about the range of shot ? Howsomever, Mr. Grummet, we must all live and larn, so lay hold of the match, just knock it on the priming, and then run and peep into the muzzle,— there'll be nothing to harm you, I'll be sworn.' I did as I was desired with the match ; the gun went off : what effect was produced it was impossible to tell ; but I could not help feeling a degree of repugnance at the probability of my having been instrumental to the destruction of human life. But this did not last long ; for every senti ment of pity, every yearning of humanity gradually de parted, and a ravening sensation of cruel revenge assumed a dominion over my mind. I looked at the bleeding bodies of my countrymen. I viewed the spirit-stirring scene around me ; fear was banished, and a total change in every emotion of' my heart ensued. I was no longer inactive, but ranged about the decks, lending my aid wherever I supposed it was required. The men seemed delighted with my conduct, and we cheere4each other in the work of carnage. And here it is worthy of remark, that the bravest and the oldest seamen ever love to hear the voice of youth encouraging them in battle ; they hail it as a promise for the future, that the glory of the British flag will remain unsullied and unsubdued." The account of the " Battle of Salamanca" is drawn up minutely, and with much spirit, though it will not bear comparison with Colonel Napier's chivalrous details of the same action. " Siege of Bhurtpore" is full of animated incident, though one battle, we should imagine, would be quite enough for one Number. On the whole, as we said before, the Number is a readable one. EAST INDIA COMPANY'S TEA SALE. This morning the East India Company's Tea Sale commenced at the East India House, and was very fully attended. 'the quantity of tea declared at the present sale is 9,000,000 lbs. As soon as the presiding director had taken his seat, he stated that memorials had been addressed to the Company relative to the new regulations of the deposits on tea, the new mode of taking the tares,&c. ' • The memorials were read, as also the reply of the East India Company, in which they represented that they had drawn the attention of the Board of Control and of the Customs to the subject, and that the Board of Control had not been able to consider the questions. The Customs' Department had replied, that teas in future must be sub jected to the same tares as other articles. Several getitlemen addressed the court, stating that the alteration of the tare would occasion a loss of 20,0001. a year to the trade, and after some time a postponement of the sale was agreed upon. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY) CORN EXCHANGE. In the course of the past week the arrivals of all kinds of grain were moderate, and most articles in the trade met an improved sale at some advance in prices. This morning the fresh supplies of all descriptions of corn were moderate. The weather has been hot and dry for this week past, and the stocks of Grain here being scanty, with a good attend ance of buyers, the market presented a more animated appearance than for some time past. Fine Wheat sold readily at 2s. per quarter advance, and the other qualities were pretty well cleared oW at Is. per qr. more than on this day se'unight. Barley is Is. to 2s. per quarter dearer. Beans are further advanced in value 2s. per quarter. Boiling Pease are 4s and Grey Pease 3s. per quarter higher than last Monday. The country demand for Oats continues good, and the supplies not being equal to the apparent wants of the buyers, sales were readily made at 2s. per quarter advance since this day week. There is more life in the trade for fine Flour, put prices at present are unaltered. PRICES ON BOA MD 01. SHIP. Wheat, Red (old) --White (old) -s. -3. ----Red 0R33) Fine 4Bs. 50s.

WINDSOR, MAY 31. n the I rindsor Express. ) This dav 1-inT : - ,!:l;esty and suite arrived at the Castle from St.'.Tanles's Palace, to luncheon; after which the pony phaetons were in readiness to convey the Royal party to • Virginia Water, - from which place they returned to the Castle about 7 o'clock. Soon after their return the Queen, accompanied by her suite, re-entered the travelling carriages and proceeded to St. James's Palace. The King and Queen are expected to return to the Castle on Tuesday next, for the purpose of being present at the regatta on Wednesday evening. On Thursday their Majesties will again leave for St. James's, where they intend staying some days, but will return in time to be present at Ascot races. The visiters at the Castle in the race week will be very numerous. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen gave a ball on Friday evening, at St. James's Palace, to the younger branches of the fami lies of the nobility and gentry, between the ages of 6 and 16. _ _ . Eight o'clock was the hour of invitation, and be tween that time and nine o'clock the juveniles had all assembled at the Palace. Many of the younger por tion had fancy dresses of velvet, the fronts of some of them with gold and silver ornaments, and having lace collars. The Yeomen Guard were on duty, lining the ap proaches to the State Rooms. The officers of the corps were Sir Thomas Horsley Curteis (in waiting), and Messrs. Charles and Samuel Hancock, .Exons. Soon after eight o'clock their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, accom panied by their Serene Highnesses the Prince Ferdi nand of Saxe Coburg and the Prince of Leiningen, and attended by the Duchess of Northumberland, Lady Flora Hastings, Baroness Lehzen, the Hon. Sir George Anson, and Sir John Conroy, arrived at the Palace: The Dukes of Cumberland and Gloucester, the Princess Augusta, Prince George of Cambridge, accompanied by his Preceptor, the Rev. Mr. Wood, also arrived. 'lwo of the State Rooms were used as ball-rooms, having quadrille bands in each, in raised orchestras ; the sides of the rooms were elevated, and seats placed on them for their Majesties and the company. On the entrance of their Majesties, the bands played " God save the King." The King and Queen, attended by the principal officers o f th e i r h ou sehold, passed through the youth ful party, who were then formed into sets for quadrilles —Madame Bourdin, instructress in dancing to the Princess Victoria, attending as Mistress of the Cere monies, and Mr. Henry Kendon, dancing master to Prince George of Cambridge, officiating as Master of the Ceremonies. Her Majesty - and the more juvenile part of the No bility remained during the evening in the Throne Room. Weippert's band, who were stationed in this room, played, in addition to all their new music, a beautiful set of galoppes, entitled " La Gloire d'An gleterre," which was repeated three times by desire. The new waltzes, " Le Guillaume Quatre," were par ticularly admired. In the other ball-room ( Queen Anne's room) was Collinet's band ; the quadrilles per formed in this apartment were Musard's " La Crise du Matin," " Venice," " Les Echos," " Les Espag nois," with the castanettes. The two latter were re peated several times by special desire. The new waltzes of the Court of Baden were also much ad mired. The Princess Victoria only danced quadrilles, and had for her partners the Prince George of Cambridge, Prince George de Lieven, the Earl of Kildare, the Earl of Larch, the Earl of Athlone, Lord Belgrave, and Lord Elmley. The graceful and elegant manner with which the Princess and Prince George of Cam bridge went through the various figures excited the ad miration of the company. Soon after 11 o'clock the King and Queen, accom panied by the Royal Family, and followed by the juve niles, went to the banquetting-room, where supper was served at four tables. The . repast was very tastefully laid out. _ _ After supper dancing was resumed, and was kept up till near 2 o'clock. The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria left shortly before 1 o'clock. The King gave audiences on Saturday to the Earl of Albemarle and Lord James O'Bryen. Their Majesties went in state yesterday (the anni versary of Earl Howe's naval victory) to the Royal Hospital -at Greenwich to attend Divine service in the chapel of the Hospital.

In the evening the Queen took an airing in the Park to Virginia Water, and returned to the Castle. Her Majesty and suite arrived in town at ten from the Castle. The King, attended by Lord Saltoun and Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, went on Saturday afternoon to the Wellington-barracks, in the Birdcage-walk, St. James's-park, where his Majesty inspected the Foot- Guards from Portman-street barracks, and also from the barracks at Knightsbridge ; Colonel Bowater, Field-officer in Waiting, was in attendance. The King afterwards went to the Royal Mews at Pimlico, and thence to St. James's. His Majesty went and returned in an open carriage and four with outriders.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Edinburgh, May 30, 1834. The electors of Edinburgh have this day nobly done their duty ; I send you a state of the poll below. o'clock 10 11 12 1 2 3 4 Sir John Campbell 431 i 778 1,074 I 1,248 I 1,360 I 1,44T,554 Mr. Learmouth 323 694 9GB 1,039 1,134 1,179 1,229 Mr. Aytoun Majority for Sir John Campbell over Mr. ear mouth, 325: over Mr. Aytoun, 1,131. It is impossible to give you an idea of the excite ment in this city—every party exerted themselves most strenuously. You will observe the poll was known every hour. Sir John's friends, on this occasion, de serve great credit for their exertions ; they actually published the state of the poll half an hour after, al though some of the polling places were miles distant from the rooms. Many gentlemen gave their as sistance, and were seen running about the city in all directions. When the poll was closed for to-day, about half-past four, Sir John announced the numbers to an immense multitude, who received him with great applause. The feeling in the city is totally in his favour. The Tories have had recourse to the most shameful tricks--indeed, their conduct has disgusted every true friend to the constitution. The Lord Ad vocate, to-night, from the balcony of his house in George-street, denounced their conduct in regard to the Leith election—indeed, they acted there as if conscience were utterly unknown ; intimidation, bri bery, and all manner of seduction was practised. He has, however, to-day been elected by a majority of 323. The voluntary churchmen have deserted Mr. Aytoun ; and, it is said, a great number of the radicals will vote for Sir John to-morrow.' The resignation of Mr. Stanley and the other Mi nisters of his side has given the people great pleasure, and has done Sir John an immense deal of good, al though the Tories thought otherwise. They sent a private express from London with the news, which reached here last night, and immediately placards were brought out, headed " Resignation of Ministers ; the King has sent for Sir Robert Peel." They played so many tricks, that it was not believed. This city has not been so excited as it is at present since the passing through of the Reform Bill, and carriages of all descriptions are flying through the town, conveying the state of the poll every hour. As it is hinted that Mr. Abercrombie will accept office, there is not the least fear of his re-election. All parties adore him, and nobody would be put up against him. DUBLIN, MAY 31. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) " Come, bright Improvement—on the car of time, And rule the specious world, from clime to clime." The above sentence may be taken as an index to the ten dency of public opinion here, at this moment, though it is difficult to describe in detail " the hopes and fears,' plea sure and dismay, of different parties, occasioned by recent news from London. The fact of a secession from the Mi nistry had been for some days anticipated, and the calcu lations on the result of such an event, were as various as they seem to have been on the other side. All parties in this country being aware of the impending storm, which Mr. Ward's motion has brought down so heavily, felt an alarm proportionate to the doubts entertained of the line of conduct which his Majesty and the more influential members of the Cabinet might think proper to adopt. The second edition of The Sun of Wednesday, however, in a great measure dispelled the apprehensions felt by the friends of reform, and helped to give a reasoning tone and con sistency to their expectations. Whether or not the ap pointments announced shall have been made, matters very little ; for, as " coming events cast their shadows before them," it was manifest that some such decisive steps would be taken by Earl Grey ; and his promptitude in adopting this course, under our good King's auspices, is a gua rantee that the great and just cause of the people, and rational liberty, must ultimately triumph. But, whether or not things are to go on smoothly without any other change than the-filling up of the vacancies already made, is a question of considerable difficulty among the coteries of the Four Courts and the different other conventicles for news in Dublin. Soon after the sitting of his Court yesterday, the Lord Chancellor received a communication, supposed to be from the Lord Lieutenant, which induced him to retire for a few minutes. This incident was very generally believed to refer to the breaking up of the Cabinet, and, accordingly, numerous conjectures and surmises are ever since afloat as to the course his Lordship will pursue at this important crisis. The prevailing opinion, and best founded opinion, seems to be, that he will adhere to the standard of Earl Grey and Lord Brougham, notwithstanding the sweeping measure of church reform which the exigency of the times may oblige these statesmen to adopt, in opposition to the feelings and prejudices of a very great portion of the wealth and respectability of this country. How the Attorney- General, Mr. Blackburne, may feel obliged to act, is more problematical. That gentleman, though a most efficient and impartial public officer, and an excellent man in every relation in life, is supposed not to be a zealous supporter of reform in Church and State, and certainly has not such influence to sustain - Government in this country as some individuals of more exceptionable character may command. It is, therefore, the opinion of many persons, that the pre sent crisis may bring to his Majesty's councils persons with whom Mr. Blackburne cannot cordially co-operate. Should this be the case, the members of his profession will, with very few exceptions, feel regret at his relinquishing a situa tion which he has hitherto filled with so much honour to himself and satisfaction to all those who wish for the wel fare and tranquillity of Ireland, without the triumph of any faction. The next question is, who will be his successor ? More than one person of eminent pretensions are spoken of • but the most frequent discussion on this point is, whether the sacrifices made by Mr. Crampton, the present Solicitor-General, to the cause of reform and the improve ment of this country, sufficiently entitle him to that pro motion, to which his talents and liberal yet moderate line of politics recommend him so favourably? Those who think that learning and integrity are the surest passports to rank and influence, say yes ; at the same time they express a doubt, that his merits are of such notoriety as to be deemed auxiliary to the views of a government, re quiring the aid of popular men, in effecting changes which have so many prejudices to encounter among the mobility as well as among a large portion of the gentry of the country. This is an imperfect sketch of the present feel ing of my countrymen, so far as I may presume to say ; it has been faithfully collected within the last forty-eight hours ; from which you may fairly infer, that as regards the present change of ministry, the prevalent opinion and expectation in Ireland is, that his Majesty will have formed, perhaps before this letter reaches London, a Cabinet that will not be adverse to the principle of Mr. Ward's resolutions. Saturday the Duke of Richmond, Sir James Graham, and the Hon. Mr. Stanley, promenaded the north side of the enclosure of St. James's-park, from two o'clock until six o'clock in the evening, evidently engaged in deep and serious conversation, and it was rather remarkable at the same time that Earl Grey, Lord Auckland, and Mr. Ellice, were walking at the opposite side, near the Bird-cage-walk, also in close conversation. The enclosure is a favourite walk of the Duke of Wellington and the Lord Chancellor, and might now be considered cabinet ground. MR. WARD.—Henry George Ward, Esq., the member for St. Alban's, who made the motion concerning the appropriation of the Irish Church re venues on Tuesday, is the only son of Robert Plumer Ward, Esq., author of " Tremaine" and " De Vere." He was formerly a Lord of the Admiralty, Clerk of the Ordnance, and Auditor- of the Civil List; he was sent as Minister Plenipotentiary to acknowledge the Mexican Republic, and he has published an account of his travels in Mexico In politics he is a moderate reformer. DEATH OF BISHOP WALDRON.—Died in Ardnaree, on Tuesday the 27th inst., Dr. 'Waldron, Roman Catholic Bishop of Killalla. In the neigh bourhood of Ballina, and through th e w h o l e ex t en t o f his diocese, the death of this good bishop will be sin cerely lamented. He was ever esteemed by all classes and persuasions, as a charitable and benevolent man ; as one always unwilling to promote, or excite party quarrels or dissensions ; as one averse to agitation and wholly devoted to the duties of his office. He passed a long life, highly respected, and its termination now is deeply lamented by all who enjoyed the pleasure of his friendship and acquaintance.—Cork Consti tution. The present week will add largely to the number of men out of employment in this town, as se veral of the principal establishments, which have hitherto continued their operations, will to-day require their workmen to abandon the trades' union, and it is believed that most of the men will prefer turning out and joining in the trial of endurance with their mas ters. The sum paid by the union to the turn-outs is very small, about half-a-crown per week.—Leeds Mercury. GVNEitAt - ASSinIIy;I",..§.(?OTL'ANP. CHUB Cif PATRONAGE, by an able and powerful speech. His lcrAship entered into a detailed view of the various acts of ass embl y in regard to the subject of the overtures, and contende& fro m the divi sions of the church courts prior to 1740 • that the practice was agreeable to what was now urged, and thevekre it was only enforcing or revising the old laws of the church. v: are told that, even at present, if any objections be broupt against a man, they will be attended to. But this is nct enough. Are there no cases when there may be abundant and solid and sound objections to the acceptance of the it dividual, which is possible for any set of men to state acct. rately? The presentee may be a tattle, insipid, frivolova preacher, or may be contemptible by his affectation, cr disgusting by his vulgarity; he may have learning without good sense or good temper—knowledge withom the power of communicating it; he may have purity of motes with much indiscretion—there may be little religion in his cha racter, while the bounds of morality are not overstepped he may be even unsound in doctrine, while yet no proper proof could be produced of it; the most important truth with the coldness and in difference which afford sufficient convicti on that he is not believing them ; now, this is a catalog ue which might be increased by any man, and pith all the respectthe Z. I I have for our Church, am compelled tf.' appeal to he may speak knowledge of this Assembly, whether, in their "vn,_ expe rience, they have known no such cases as these? k "7,; hear.) And if so, what satisfaction is it to a parish to them that no man shall be intruded on them, if you must verify the objection, and condescend upon particulers'; Great fears are expressed r egar ding the negative tr.at . :td are to propose, but it is not a little singular that these ing. are of very opposite descripfons—so opposite as, in my opinion, to show the beauty an d p rac ti c al u s es cf the scheme. One class fear that we shall h ave i n eve ry iintince a cabal and dissent by a maj or it y . O t h ers t hi n k it w ill seldom come into operation at all. My own opinion is, it *ill be always in operation to this effect—that the Matron, 11_ 1 0w' ing the possibility of his rejection, will take care not to sen:s a man against whom any such thing may arise, and thus the law will work reflexly, as Dr. Chalmers expressed it, and produce the effect by silent pressure. .We have heard a great deal of doubt whether the Assembly has power to pass such a law. On this point I cannot entertain the slightest doubt—if it be established (as I hope has been done) that the Presbytery has full power to judge the whole matter of qualifications, then it is undeniable that the General Assem. bly may give instructions to all its Presbyteries for its guid ance in such matters. I grant this is a check on the patron's power, and where is the statute that gives the right of patronage uncontrolled and unchecked ? The very mode rating of the call indicates a check of this kind, and there fore I say, that as the law stands, the patron has his place to appoint--the people their place to prove or disapprove, and the Presbytery to determine. It may be said, that there is a great danger of excitement, but I have faith enough in the understanding and Christian honesty of the people of Scotland, to believe that they will not come for ward to make opposition without cause. Ido not mean to say there may not be exceptions ; causes of trouble may , arise—but what is there that is perfect? And, Oftgn these things take place, you have your church courts fir fulf vigour, to exercise their powers. I shall just make t*et other observations. It is said that this will injure EA,' cause of learning; but is it the case throughout Scot land, that men of least learning are most popular ? (Hear, hear.) Is it not the case, that those of the highest intel lect are the most acceptable? It never fails to be so, if the man possesses the qualities necessary to make up the accomplished preacher and minister ; and, in my opinion, it would tend much to stir up ministers and youth of our land to more diligent study—more active pursuits—more veritable acquirements. The other objec tion is pf a different kind. It is said great injury will be done to the individual who shall be rejected by a majority. Now this will happen either very frequently, or it will be very rare. If it happen very frequently, then I would say that there would no more injury result from his rejection tban from the rejection of individuals who now offer them selves and are rejected. But my belief is, that it will be exceedingly rare, and that the evil is nothing in reality. But of all objections, this excites most wonder in my mind, for I put this to the Assembly, either the people are right, and there is some de fect in the individual (and then our sympathy should be with the people, and not with the individual who is reject ed), or the individual is a worthy man of good gifts and qualifications, of pure and upright principles ; and then I appeal to this assembly, if it can be really said to be an injury to the man that he is thus prevented from entering • into a parish situated, as we suppose-- for I come back to the man of pure and upright heart, and honest intentions, who desires to minister in the church for the benefit of those under him and the glory of God—and I ask whether such a man, introduced into the parish against the wish of the people, can be said to enjoy a benefit, or to have suffered an injury, in being thrust upon the people? A deserted church—desolation in his heart—the meeting-houses rising around him— Sabbath after Sabbath treading his way to the church door, and there finding none whom he can spiritually edify—returning to his house meditating upon the condi tion into which he has been brought—and the total abuse and frustration of his powers—his learning becomes a burden—his talents utterly useless, because he has not been placed in a sphere where he might employ them. It is in vain to say he may bring back the people. Oh yes, this does happen sometimes, but it is not the course which this church should desire to follow, or any man of pure principles would desire to be the course he himself should run. His lordship then moved that the General As sembly, having maturely considered the overture, do declare that it is a fundamental law of the church that no pastor shall be intruded on any congregation con trary to the will of the people ; and that, in order to carry this principle into full effect, the Presbyteries of the church shall be instructed, that if at the moderation in a call to a vacant pastoral charge, the major part of the male heads of families, members of the vacant congregation, and in full communion with the church, shall disapprove of the person in whose favour the call is proposed to be moderated in, such disapproval shall be deemed sufficient ground for the presbytery rejecting such person, and that he shall be rejected accordingly ; and due notice thereof forthwith given to all concerned; but that, if the major part of the said heads of familes shall not disapprove of such person to be their pastor, the presbytery shall proceed with the set tlement, according to the rules of the church ; and farther declare, that no person shall be held to be entitled to dis approve, as aforesaid, who shall refuse, if required solemnly to declare, in presence of other presbyteries, that he is ac tuated by no factious or malicious motive, but solely by a conscientious regard to the spiritual interest of himself or congregation ; and resolve, that a committee be appointed to report to an interim diet of the assembly in what man ner, and by what particular measures, this declaration and instruction may be best carried into full operation. Dr. C. BUCHANAN seconded the motion. Dr. MEARNS took the lead in the opposition to this measure. He contended that the church courts, and the members of congregations enjoyed at present all the pri vileges, in regard to this matter, which they bad ever pos sessed. Abuses, he said, attached themselves to every sys tem ; but it must be in the recollection of many members in this house, that about thirty-five years ago many cases came before the Assembly in which great hardships would indeed have been suffered had the ultimate decision been left to the people. It was not by individual cases that we must judge of the utility of any system, but by the general average, and by that rule he would test the excellence of the present system. He was, therefore, very un willing to resort to such changes as those proposed for ex pected advantages, when, according to his judgment, so far from the result being what was so sanguinely antici pated, the consequences would be a shock and collision between the patrons and the people, introducing dis sent to a far greater extent than now. When the nomi nation is made by the authority of the patron, for 4hat is it that the people are called on ? Is it not either to give consent to the man well qualified to execute the duties of a minister, or to express their dissent with reasons to be judged of? These objections are not confined merely to literary or moral qualifications, but objections of every kind have been received and sustained. It is proper that the rights of the people should be attended to, but if you give them an absolute veto, what do yon do but constitute them supreme judges in the matter of qualification ? That is the only conclusion to which such a proceeding could lead. Look (said the Rev. Doctor) to the effect of the enactments on the character and prospects of your proba tioners. A patron may now pass over a probationer with out hurting his interests, but will that be the case if re jected after two or three presentations ? Why did the church go on petitioning other reason than that o ur forefathers saw full well that they would thu s relin q uish im p orta nt rights tothis simpleyea r afterr emedy year ? against I can its seeevils,n withoutresorting o to the people. But th is s y stem, it is said, will quietly remedrem y its evils. I do not expect that result— noriink that—in the present state of public sentiment, this power will be temperately used. And if this is not the case, you have deprived yourselves of the only means of correcting these disorders. lam most re luctant to a change, which may produce a great over balance of evil. I agree that it is the duty of every man, however incapable of doing so, at least to express his senti ments in this great crisis of the church. lam very appre hensive that the measure will only lead to further innova tions, to others of greater and greater magnitude, because you will thereby denude yourselves of the power of bring ing these heats and animosities to a favourable adjustment.
