LITERATURE. QUARTERLY REVIEW, No. ell, London, 1834. ow that Mr. Macaulay has withdrawn himself ~only for a season, we trust—from the Edinburgh I?eriew, the Quarterly is incomparably the first Periodical of the day. There is a high, gentlemanly t 'rle—a mellowness and maturity of thought and fe eling —an ease and polish of style about it—in which its great Whig and Radical rivals are, if not Wholly deficient, at least far inferior. It does not 4 tor e us to death with the jargon of Utilitarianism. is n o t constantly flourishing the ferule of a Pedantic schoolmaster, or enforcing those visionary projects (the bane of the age) which are somewhat w himsically misnomered practical,"—because they 'an never be brought to bear with any prospect of 'drantage to the community. The Quarterly itdulges in no theories of this sort. It is neither `I the Bentham nor the Martineau faction, but of , the World, worldly. But here our praise must stop. ' G raceful, sensible, enlightened as it is, on all literary " philosophical subjects—a wide field for specula tion —i n it s political tone, it is marked by extreme Ti trro- , -mindedness and, its inseparable adjunct, clar gn it y „ It breathes the bitter spirit of disap- Point2d ambition. It flings about its mud with all t he practised indifference of a scavenger. What is worse, it never states a question fairly ; never wages i h onourable battle with a n an t agon i s t. It i s th e Q uail-ranger of political warfare. Thus in its Present notice of the " Revolutions of 1688 and 1 831," it wholly loses sight of its theme, in the a rdour of its zeal to attack Lord Brougham ; with /Il 'ich view it has recourse to inuendos, and calum !les, and significant shrugs of the shoulders, and decorous up-turnings of the eyes, and grave, mys tellous shakes of the head, all of course meant to 141 l lythat if its virtue would allow it to speak out, the Quarterly could tell shocking things about his Lord 'hi!). In this respect its vinegar virginity is worthy of t he sourest Tabby that ever shrugged a slander. Its Q iee sense of decorum is shocked at the most inno cent speech of the Lord Chancellor. It listens to him, arrectis auribus, with its blushing face hidden behind a f an , as if every word that fell from h i s PS were fraught with flagrant impropriety. Out 11 Pon this conventional cant ! The whole sum and tobstance of the Quarterly's present charge against L ord Brougham is confined to the one simple fact, Which was satisfactorily explained at the time, that he intr o d uce d his Ch urc h Bill i nto the H ouse of reers after the Archbishops and Bishops had gone l odine officially with the Lord Mayor. In this fact i t discovers the quintessence of all political iniquity ! i ‘ r e say nothing of the Quarterly's parallel between ord Chancellors Jeffries and Brougham, becaus e I. ery one w ith the slightest knowledge of the pa s t ucl present hi s t or y o f his country, knows well that Je ffries; was the unblushing, sycophantic tool of Yra nnY ; and that Brougham is its sworn foe, under whatever specious disguise it may lurk, whether it hall enge a d m i ration in the fine new garments of t he Radical reformer, or the venerable old clothes of th e Tory Statu-quo-ite. " Letters and Essays in Prose and Verse," is a lust criticism on M r . Sh arp ' s late publication. . Froro th e spec i mens which the Reviewer gives of this book, we should conclude that it possessed great tad various ability. Few will deny the truth and fo rce of this remark. IPerhaps there are few less happy than those who are „. Critic:au without industry ; who pant for the prize, but "" will not run the race." The following observations deserve to be printed n let ters of gold. They are not less correct in sentiment than beautiful in expression. The sen lee marked in italics is one of the completest are eiire graceful we have ever met with : n' ere'are few difficulties that hold out against real attacks; s; they fly like the visible horizon before those who advance. A passionate desire, and an unwearied will can Perform impossibilities, or what seem to be such to the cold 4(1 feeble. If we do but go on, some unseen path will , obe li am ong the hills. Not only fame and fortune, but V'eaSlire i s to be earned. Efforts are as indispensable as desires, The globe is not to be circumnavigated by one i nd. We should never do nothing." • • • . • " It is very easy to cherish, like Sterne, the sensibilities that lead to no sacrifices. Most of those that are so vain if their fine feeling s are persons loving themselves very q.a.rly, and having a violent regard for their fellow crea tures in general, though caring little or nothing for the in dividuals about them." (Canning has lashed these pseudo-philanthropists I n the Anti-Jacobin.) An anxious restless temper, that runs to meet care on iy o r zcay, that regrets l ost opportun i t i es too muc h , and t h at er pains -taking in contrivances for happiness, is foolish, a !td should not be indulged. Many run about after feli ;.:.tY, like an absent man hunting for his hat, while it is on h.ead or in his hand. Though sometimes vet small evils. ein insects, inflict great pain the chief secret 't Comfort lies in not suffering evils - to vex one, and in Pnulently cultivati ng an un d er-growt h of small plea sures, since very few great ones are let on long leases." The above words, which are the words of wisdom, and, as such, deserve to he held in lasting remem brance, are Mr. Sharp's ; what follows is the re wer's, who is commenting on some aphorisms of t his accomplished essayist .. There is, we believe, no human being of real capacity, ""° se int o e t , in ee i t on sof his fell ow creatures, both of their moral , do able as he advanPZeinslife. not g row more and more favour- Thisg is boldly and justly said, though it is at 'ariance with the spirit of Shakspeare's remark, who, so far from thinking that we become more benevolent as we grow older, hints directly the re verse. His charming little song, " Crabbed age and you h Cannot live together," ascribes cynicism and misanthropy not to age, as the reviewer would ascribe it, but to youth. Never theless, the latter's view of the question is the cor rect one, though the toleration that comes of years i s not, as he would imply, the toleration of benevo- It lee, but of growing indifference. With men of enlarged minds, like Shakspeare, Scott, or Words.. Worth, the case may be different ; but the majority become tolerant as their heads whiten, only because the fine edge of sensibility is blunted, only because indifference takes the place of enthusiasm, and nothing is deemed worthy to excite serious specula tion or anxiet y that h as no t an immediate refer ence to one' s own personal identity. In youth, th e sympathies of the heart, like streams flow ing on towards the sea, roll in a thousand dif ferent channels ; in age, they are all absorbed and engulfed in—Self. Trench not on this, and you w ill fnd age a philan t h ropist ; trespass on the s clred borders, and you will find it crabbed and in tolerant to a degree beyond Youth's conception.

" Philip van Arteveldr" is a generous and discri minating criticism on a play whose author (if he will only persevere) bids fair to revive the golden age of dramatic literature. From the specimens adduced by the Quarterly, we are inclined to think more highly of this play than any that has been produced since the days of Shirley ; but we shall procure the book and judge for ourselves. Of the " Travels in Italy, &c., by Mr. Beckford," we quote the follow ing just criticism. The remaining articles are of the usual calibre. We have neither time nor space to enter into an analysis of them : _ _ " England's wealthiest son' performs his travels, of course, in a style of great external splendour. " Conspicuus longe cunctisque notabilis intrat'— court and palaces, as well as convents and churches, and galleries of all sorts, fly open at his approach : he is caressed in every capital—he is fete in every chateau. But though he appears amidst such accompaniments with all the airi ness of a Juan, he has a thread of the blackest of Harold in his texture ; and every now and then seems willing to draw a veil between him and the world of vanities. He is a poet, and a great one too, though we know not that he ever wrote a line of verse. His rapture amidst the sub lime scenery of mountains and forests—in the Tyrol espe cially, and in Spain—is that of a spirit cast originally in one of nature's finest moulds; and he fixes it in language which can scarcely be praised beyond its deserts—simple, massive, nervous, apparently little laboured, .yet revealing, in its effect, the perfection of art Some immortil pas sages in Gray's letters and Byron's diaries, are the only things, in our tongue, that seem to us to come near the profound melancholy, blended with a picturesque of de scription at once true and startling, of many of these extra ordinary pages. Nor is his sense for the highest beauties of art less exquisite. He seems to us to describe classical architecture, and the pictures of the great Italian schools, with a most passionate feeling of the grand, and with an inimitable grace of expression. On the other hand, he betrays, in a thousand places, a settled voluptuousness of temperament, and a capricious recklessness of self-indul gence, which will lead the world to identify him henceforth with his Vathek, as inextricably as it has long since con nected Harold with the poet that drew him ; and then, that there may be no limit to the inconsistencies of such a strange genius, this spirit, at once so capable of the noblest enthusiasm, and so dashed with the gloom of over-pam pered luxury, can stoop to chairs and china, ever and anon, with the zeal of an auctioneer—revel in the design of a clock or a candlestick, and be as ecstatic about a fid dler or a soprano as the fools in Hogarth's concert. On such occasions he reminds us, and will, we think, remind every one, of the Lord of Strawberry-hill. But even here all we have is on a grander scale. The oriental pro digality of his magnificence shines out even about trifles. He buys a library where the other would have cheapened a missal. He is at least a male Horace Walpole ' • as supe rior to the ' silken baron,' as Fonthill, with its York-like tower embosomed among hoary forests, was to that silly band-box which may still be admired on the road to Twickenham." BIRMINGHAM POLITICAL UNION. The Council of this body assembled in full force on Tuesday evening last, at their rooms in Great Charles street, when, after considerable discussion on the state of public opinion with regard to political affairs, the following minute and resolutions were, with one dis sentient, adopted . . " This Council, professing to represent the interests and opinions of the lower and middle classes of the people, and having always regarded the restoration of the liberty and prosperity of those classes as the main object of their la bours, and in the prosecution of this great work, having honestly discharged their duty to the best of their abilities, undismayed by either difficulties or dangers, and looking back with satisfaction upon the part they have taken in promoting a reform in the representation of the people, but most sincerely regretting that that reform has been in sufficient to produce the beneficial effects which they con templated, and still more regretting that the existing state of the public mind and of circumstances does not afford the present means of producing a further and more bene ficial reform ; and this Council considering that as good subjects and good citizens, it is their bounden duty care fully to abstain from all rash or useless proceedings ; and considering also that the unhappy discords which have lat terly broken out in many parts of the kingdom between the lower and middle classes of the people, render any com bined operations for their mutual benefit extremely diffi cult, or altogether impossible ; considering these things, the Council of the Birmingham Political Union has re solved as follows: " Ist. That it is expedient that the proceedings of this Council, and of the Political Union, should be suspended for the present." [Here follow three other resolutions for minor ar rangements, arising out of the above ; after which the Council resolved to adjourn, subject to the call of the Chairman, Deputy Chairman, or any seven of its members.] The Marquis de Lagarde, residing at the Chateau of Segrais, in the commune of St. Sulpice, of which he is mayor, was robbed about two years ago of a sum of 10,000 francs. Suspecting the son of two of his servants to have been the thief, he sent away the whole family. They at length became des titute, and the young man wishing to quit the country, frequently applied to the marquis for a passport, and a certificate to enable him to obtain a place. Finding that all his entreaties were vain, the young man be came desperate, and having received another refusal lately, he immediately drew a pistol from his pocket, fired it at the marquis, and then with another blew out his own brains. The marquis appeared to have re ceived merely a superficial scratch on the head from the ball grazing it, and he was able to travel to Paris, where, however, he died after a few days. On the head being opened, it was found that a ball, from having been previously cut or chewed, had penetrated the skull, leaving scarcely any mark.— French Paper. Lieut. John M'Clintock Clive, son of Theo philus Clive, of the Isle of Wight, and nephew of Edward B. Clive, Esq., M. P., went out boating in Berkeley Bay, Falkland Islands, accompanied by a gunner, steward, and two young persons belonging to the Challenger. Finding that a considerable time had elapsed without the parties returning, the officers of the Challenger, fearing that some accident had oc curred, sent another boat in the direction they had steered. The boat was found upset, and nothin g be longing to the party but one hat. When the boats came off, diligent search was making for the bodies.— Devonport Telegraph. Dennis Collins, the old sailor who was trans ported to Van Diemen's Land for throwing a stone at the King when at Ascot-heath races, two or three years ago, died at Port Arthur on the Ist of Novem ber last, " in consequence (it is said) of his fixed de termination to refuse all necessary nourishment, although the best diet that the settlement could afford was daily offered to him." It is a remarkable fact, and a very intelligible symptom, that we have within three weeks received letters for publication from three individuals who have at different times taken a leading part in the trades' unions in Yorkshire, all of them expressing the strongest opinions as to the absolute inutility and great mischievousness of these unions. These three indi viduals are men of talent and information, superior to their fellows; they have all of them had the very best means of knowing the constitution, objects, and work ing of trades' unions ; they have enjoyed great popu larity amongst the operatives ; they have in former times spoken and acted very strongly against the masters ; they still continue in the rank of workmen ; yet each of them has become thoroughly disgusted ' with the operatio . nsof tthahetutnhey never ions,and havenot only produced,so,bu also deeply convinced i possibly nsuor py n d g u t e h e e , m t o L bj e e ed e s t 31 wh er i echuryth. e workmen r s c e a e n k gas pipes, they is ginOg Mondayn inmr.Porter's foundry-yard, last, as the workm in en ß N l v a e c r k e fr d ia i r g : s street, for the purpose of laying e p o a N r - t e s r , e a d n d a ei lz b a n n rt s e k en ele in to e n h , es quite t perfect a e in e a l T l i h t e s shape of the coffin could be traced in the earth, but the coffin itself had become dust.

OF ENGLAND Eastweli June 7, IS:3-1. Fellow-Countrymen—The ministers of the Crown having taken upon themselves the responsibility of ad vising our Sovereign to issue a commission, the object of which is in direct opposition to the sentiments contained in the gracious answer delivered from the throne to an address which was lately presented by the venerated prelates of our church, and in most direct opposition to the established constitution of this country, I call upon you without one moment's delay closely to examine the object of this com mission. In the first place I be g to draw your attention to the purport of that motion which was introduced in the lower House of Parliament by the hon. member for St. Alban's ; compare it with the sentiments delivered by the different members of his Majesty's government with reference to this commission, and then let any candid or unprejudiced mind deny that this commission is to effect indirectly, and to the fullest extent, that object which ! is Majesty s ad visers had, on that occasion, neither the candour, honesty, or firmness openly to avow to the country. After the explicit declaration (gracious God! that we should have lived to have seen the day when such a senti ment could fall from the lips of a leading legislator of this hitherto Protestant country !) made by the noble earl at the head of his Majesty's government, in the debate of the House of Lords last night that it was the duty of our legis lature to act in conformity with the spirit of the age in which we live, without the slightest or remotest reference to the principles by which that spirit maybe characterised, whether influenced by the dark counsels of hell, or ani mated by the pure precept of that blessed religion of which we profess ourselves to be members—after this, I call upon you, whether as members of our established church or of those dissenting congregations whose faith has been founded on the pure word of God, one and all boldly to stand forward in the defence of the altars of this country, and by the sacred duty which we owe to ourselves, our children, and to our God, firmly to resist tie at , m is which are making to surrender our religion into the hands of popery, scepticism, and infidelity. Let your voice be raised from one end of the empire to the other—let the avenues to the throne be choked by your loyal addresses. declaring to our gracious Sovereign that you are prepared to make every sacrifice to uphold him in the maintenance of those principles which called his family to sway the sceptre of those realmS. It is in vain to shut our eyes to the dangers which surround us. Ani mated by an ardent love of those long-cherished constitu tional liberties which have hitherto been the pride and boast of our native country, and which never have existed, and never can exist, without the foundation of a Protestant faith, let us now take into our calm and serious considera tion the present aspect of the times, and the rapid progress of those pernicious principles which threaten ere long to effect their total ruin and destruction. But above all, ani mated by a heartfelt love and affection for that religion which has proved the source of so many inestimable bless ings, calling back to our recollection the noble sacrifices made by our forefathers in its defence, and trusting to the sacredness of our cause, let. us so prove to the world the value we set on our existing institutions, and by our moral courage and firmness with which it is our determination to uphold them. . . -- Nought shall make us rue If England to itself do rest but tr►►e. I have the honour to remain, fellow-countrymen, Your most obedient humble servant, WINCHILSEA and NOTTINGHAM. We understand that very favourable intelli gence of the health of the venerable Earl Spencer was received on Saturday at Spencer-house, St. James's place. It appears that his Lordship occasionally suffers from attacks of the gout, but in other respects he enjoys general good health. In consequence of the rumour generally circulated of the death of the noble Earl, Capt. and the }lon. Mrs. Spencer proceeded express to Althorp-park, where they were gratified at finding his Lordship quite well, and they intend re• turning to town to-day. Lord Spencer is in his 77th year. The leading Tories have held several very private meetings during the last week. That at the Thatched House, on Monday, was the most important, at which the Noble Thane, from Scone Palace, took the lead. Two Noble Dukes and a Yorkshire Earl, of cautious character, joined the meeting. There was, we understand, great difference of opinion mani fested by some of the most prominent. It is said there were serious divisions in the camp, and that they separated without coming to any arrangement re garding their future tactics.—Morning Chronicle. CAMBRIDGE ELECTION.--The canvass was carried on with great spirit by both candidates during Friday and Saturday. The university, or at least some colleges of it, are openly accused of exercising a strong influence over those voters who happen to be tradesmen connected with them, and who are threat ened with the total loss of university employment should they dare to vote for Mr. Rice. On Friday evening he met the electors of Barnwell district. The crowd was very great. A temporary platform was erected for the accommodation of the right hon. gen tleman and his friends. On his arrival he ascended it followed by a large body of his friends, and proceeded to address the meeting, but he had spoke only a few minutes when the platform, which was much crowded, gave way. Great confusion and alarm were produced, and several persons were hurt, but not seriously. When quiet was restored, Mr. Rice, from a different station, addressed the meeting at great length, and with his usual power and eloquence. He was enthu siastically cheered, and when he concluded, the meet ing separated in an orderly manner. The Lord Chancellor, after stating, on Thursday, the arrangement of the business of the Court of Chancery during the fortnight after the pre sent term, added, with respect to the long vacation, that the Vice-Chancellor would rise for the vacation on the 9th of August ; the Master of the Rolls, he believed, would not sit after the last day of July ; and his Lordship himself would sit in his court up to the rising of parliament, and would not sit longer. LITERARY FUND.—The 45th anniversary festival of the Literary Fund Society was held on Saturday at the Freemasons' Tavern. The company, consisting of about 120 gentlemen, sat down to dinner. His Grace the Duke of Somerset was in the chair. The Earl of Mulgrave was on the right hand of the noble chairman, and the Prince of Canino (Lucien, Buonaparte) on his left. The amount of the contri butions, which exceeded 5001., was announced, and the company separated shortly after eleven o'clock. - - - LONDON REFORM ALMSHOUSES.—On Saturday, the first stone of the London Almshouses was laid by Lord John Russell, amidst a great con course of people. It was the anniversary of the day on which the Reform Bill received the Royal assent, and the project of raising the almshouses sprung from the public determination to celebrate the triumph of reform. At four o'clock precisely, Lord John Russell, who most gladly accepted the invitation to preside on the occasion, entered the arena, which is situate at Park-hill, Brixton. He was accompanied by Mr. Grote and Mr. Crawford, the members for the city ; Mr. Lainson, Dr. Styles, and the most distinguished reformers of the corporation. The scene was most ani mating. The first stone of the building was, with the usual forms, laid by the noble lord amidst the enthu siastic applause of the multitude. Upon the silver trowel with which he spread the mortar was the follow ing inscription :—" Presented to the Right Hon. Lord John Russell, M. P., on his la} ing the first stone of the London Almshouses, in lieu of an illumination, to commemorate reform in Parliament, on Saturday, the 7th day of June, 1834, being the second anniver sary of the passing of the Reform Bill, and in the 4th year of the reign of his Majesty King William IV. William Jenkins, architect ; George Ledger, secre tary." At half-past five o'clock, the friends of the in stitution assembled at the London Tavern, where Mr. Bleaden had prepared a splendid entertainment. Lord John Russell in the chair. THE LONDON HORTICULTURAL SO.. riETY.—The gardens of this society, at Chiswick, were thrown open on Saturday last, for the June ex hibition of fruit and flowers. Great taste and judg ment have been displayed in the laying out of these grounds, with their beautiful parterres, enamelled with such rich variety of shrub and flower ; their patches of closely-shaven green sward ; their shaded walks, and those little bridges too, that throw over the scene not a little of the picturesque. Upon entering the gardens on Saturday we were forcibly struck with the very effective coup d'ceil which presented itself. Thou sands of fashionably attired persons, a very large pro portion ladies (we understand that there were no less than 4,700 tickets received at the entrance gates ), were broken into groups, or promenading in parties. The bands of the Guards, stationed at opposite ex tremes of the gardens, enlivened the scene by their fine performance of selections, from amongst other productions, Otell o , S en d ramide, La Gazza Ladra, Anna Bolena, &c. Five or six handsome marquees were erected upon the grounds, in one of which ices, &e., were served out to the visiters. The company did not separate till nearly seven o'clock, and those who were unable to gratify themselves by a view of the exhibition itself, appeared to have derivq4 suT . _ dent enjoyment from strolling about the grounds, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. .IS(' 0 T HEATH RACES.

THE ORKNEY ISLANDS IN PAWN.-Mr. Anker, on looking over some old deeds and records belonging to the Danish Crown at. Copenhagen, has found that Great Britain holds the Orkney Islands only in pawn ; that they were consigned to England in lieu of a dowry for a Danish Princess, married to one of our English Kings, upon condition that these islands should be restored to Denmark whenever the debt, for which they were pledged, should be dis charged. Therefore as the price of land and value of money have undergone such considerable alteration since this happened, it is in the power of Denmark, for a very small sum, to claim possession of the Ork ney Islands. By letters from Bombay it appears that a meeting of the subscribers to the steam-fund was held there on the 28th of January, when a petition to Lord Clare was drawn up, praying his lordship to represent to the Court of Directors the enormous additional ex pense that would be incurred, without any adequate return, by the proposed arrangement of substituting the port of Calcutta, instead of that of Bombay, as the connecting point between India and Europe. The petitioners contended, that as the primary object in establishing steam communication between India And England was the conveyance of intelligence, the trans fer of passengers being of inferior importance, the 10, 3 , vantages possessed by Bombay over Calcutta ; from its comparative proximity to Suez, was most apparent, and stated various facts in corroboration of their asser tion. They also stated their apprehension that the proposed arrangement would discourage the whole de iign, which was only in its infanoy, and check the efforts of the public, who had already subscribed 28,0001, towards the completion of this desirable ob ject. So plain a case as this hardly needed, one would think, the formality of any petition or memorial on the subject, A glance at the map is sufficient to determine what the course ought to be. EXTRACT FROM ROBERT HALL. --. Events have taken place of late, and revolutions have been effected, which, had they been foretold a very few years ago, would have been viewed as visionary and extravagant ; and their influence is far from being, spent, Europe never presented such a spectacle be fore ; and it is worthy of being contemplated, with the profoundest attention, by all its inhabitants. The empire of darkness and despotism has been smitten with a stroke which has sounded through the universe. When we see whole kingdoms, after reposing for centuries on b r e is i i r ng th up v, fzu wi d o op e r a e n ss m itt the lap of their rulers, start from their slumber, the tremblingdignity of man on t indifferent, or fail so turn hi° 1 7e t"'".:ards a theatre so august and extrrk4Kiluarti Old foundations arc ' fti a n nd i: t ; Y lt7r n e t l; breaking np • ...ces are rearing.

New prospects are opening on every side, of such amazing variety and extent, as to stretch farther than the eye of the most enlightened observer can reach." THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY) CORN ExeitAN(;P- The arrivals of most descriptions of grain last week were tolerably good for this time of the year, but having a con siderable demand, Wheat, Beans, and Oats, gave indica tions of further improvement in valn, , . This morning the fresh supply of Wheat, Barley, Beans, and Pease, was small, but of Oats there was a good show of samples. Our millers purchased Wheat readily, and a further ad vance of full 2s. per quarter has been realised on the prices since last Monday, with very little good left unsold. Barley is also rather dearer. Beans have met a fair trade, and are per quarter higher. Boiling grey Pease are both so scarce that prices are almost nominal, as there is little demand for these articles. Oats have ex perienced a fair trade, and the prices of last Monday are fully maintained, and have been even exceeded for the best parcels. There is more doing in the Flour trade, and prices of ship parcels are rather higher. micas ON KAMM m. snip. •Vheat, lied (old) —s. —s. Beans, Small (new)... —s.
