FRENCH PAPERS. ( From the papers of Monday. ) The Journal de Smyrne of July 26 gives lengthened de tails as to the present state of Syria, and the peace which has followed the obstinate perseverance of the insurgents. According to this journal, Ibrahim Pasha was driven to consent to peace, in order to relieve himself from the terrible embarrassment in which he was placed by the conduct of these mountaineers. The whole of Syria continues in a state of extreme agitation. The occupation of Jerusalem cost Ibrahim between 6,000 and 7,000 of his best troops, and it is still doubtful whether the Egyptians will be able to keep possession of Syria. It also mentions several de feats of the Egyptian troops, but they are of an old date, being in May and June. We have reason to believe that there is at least great exaggeration in these accounts, as it is well known hat this journal has always been hostile to Mehemet Ali his son. • The Augsburg Gazette of the 28th ult. has the follow ing from Constantinople of the 6th, from which it would appear that Ibrahim Pacha is still fighting with the Syrian insurgents, but the latter have sustained a signal defeat. Ibrahim will, however, have difficulty in maintaining himself in this province, if he does not adopt more effectual means of gaining the confidence and friendship of the inhabitants. The Porte preserves absolute silence respecting these events, and wishes to make it appear that it takes no inte rest in them ; but no person can be deceived by this. W e know with what avidity his Highness receives the news from Syria, and we are aware of his desire to repossess the reins of government as far as the Isthmus of Suez., All his friends, however, dissuade him from taking any steps for this purpose, and he seems to yield to their advice, although with evident reluctance. The Gazette quotes the funds at Vienna on the 23d ult : —Five per Cent. Metallics, 98 7-16 ; Four per Cent. ditto, 88 ; Bank Actions, 1,236. The Berlin State Gazette of the 25th ult. quotes the Prussian funds,-4 per cents., cash, 99 ; paper, 99i. We learn from Ancona, by a letter of the 20th ult., that " Prince Mavrocordato has just set out for Venice. It is said that a treaty of Commerce will be immediately concluded between the Court of Rome and the Greek'Go vernment. Greek consuls will be sent to Italy. That of Civita Vecchia is already named." The Journal du C'omnierce of Antwerp states that great numbers of the Belgian clergy, who are holders of Spanish stock, have already sustained considerable losses upon it, and are in the utmost alarm at the threatened bankruptcy of Spain. Extract of a letter of the 26th ult. from Toulon : "• .Ships arrive here and depart almost daily. We know not with certainty what occupies the attention of the Govern ment, but we may be permitted to believe that some im portant event is about to be accomplished near the coast of Italy, or perhaps in the Spanish provinces bordered by the Mediterranean. We have in the roads only two brigs, which have not yet completed their quarantine. The one is the Dragon, from the Levant, and the Cygne, recently arrived from Oran. Four store-ships, the Drance, the Lionne, the Agathe, and the RAO ne, have received orders to hold themselves in readiness for sailing. The Durance had actually set sail on Monday, but received counter orders. The store-ship Astrolabe arrived yesterday in our roads fram Boujeia, which place she quitted on the 19th. This vessel has brought back a great number of soldiers, most of whom are convalescents." BOURSE, MONDAY, SEPT. I.—We have had very little fluctuation in the French securities, although it was ex pected to be the contrary. It being settling-day, the 3 per Cents. opened at 74 45 for to-day, 74 65 for the end of this month ; they have, however, receded to 74 45 for the end of this month ; 5 per Cent.

QUARTER PAST 3 o'cLocl.—After writing to you, there has been a sudden rise in the Spanish securities ; the 5 per Cents. 32} to 39 ; the 3 per Cents. 25 ; and a paper has been posted up, that the majority of the bondholders have named M.

On Saturday afternoon an alarming fire broke out in the extensive premises of Lochrin Distillery, the property of Mr. Haig. The fire first appeared in the mill, having ori ginated, it is supposed, from the friction of the machinery, and made such rapid progress, that in a short time that part of the premises %vas enveloped in flame. The fire engine from the Head Police Office was on the ground about a quarter of an hour after the alarm was given, and was quickly followed by the engines from the other parts of the town ; and the Castle engine, accompanied by a large de tachment of the 68th regiment ; all wnich, together with an engine kept in the distillery, were soon in full play upon the flames. So destructive, however, was the fire, and so rapid in its progress, that in less than half an hour from its commencement, the roof of the building fell in with a tre mendous crash : and the large and valuable mill, consisting of eight pair of stones, and driven by a steam-engine of one hundred horse power, was entirely destroyed. Great fears were at one time entertained for the safety of the engine, the fire having communicated with the upper flat of the building in which it is enclosed ; but through the strenuous exertions of the firemen the flames were subdued, and the building preserved. Meantime the fire communicated with an adjoining barn filled with grain, where it raged with great violence, and for a time seemed to defy the utmost exertions to extinguish it, until, having burned through the flooring, the grain fell down in such quantities as tended greatly to abate its force and check its progress. The flames were at last confined within the barn, and eventually got under ; but not till they had consumed every thing com bustible in the interior, except small portions of the flooring in one of the lofts at each end of the building. The fire was completely extinguished about half-past seven, having burned for about three hours and a half. Some idea may be formed of the intensity of the flames from the fact, that the iron columns which supported the roof in some of the lofts in the mill, were in several instances literally melted, and in others were found quite bent with the heat and the weight they sustained. The damage done has not yet been ascertained ; though it is calculated that 10,000/. will scarcely replace the works in their former state of efficiency ; but we are happy to understand that the whole premises are insured.—Edinburgh Evening courant. THE MARKETS—(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of most descriptions of Grain this week are short, and the return of Flour scanty. The trade for Wheat this morning was dull, but prices are firm. Barley remains as noted on Monday ; any thing good, free sale. Beans and Pease unaltered. O a t s are rather dearer to-clay though the sale is not brisk. Flour unyari e d. ARRIVALS. Wheat Barley.

The first day her Grace proceeded from Dunrobin Castle to Lairg ; next night, Loch Inver ; next day to Store Church, where divine service was performed out of doors, the day being beautiful, and the surrounding scenery, including the Assynt, Coygach, Gairloch, Loch Broome, and Skye mountains, forming a magnificent amphitheatre. On the following day the Duchess proceeded to Scowrie ; thence, vest day, to Balnakeel ; and afterwards to Tongue, Bighouse, Portgower, and returned to Dunrobin Castle. At each of these successive stages her Grace met the people, and received their statements or petitions, which, for the credit of the ma nagement were very few in number, and chiefly for charity. The Duchess-Countess is now, we believe, in her 70th year, and this tour must have been no small exertion ; but it was amply repaid by witnessing the comfort of the people, who everywhere greeted her with enthusiasm. It is worthy of remark that her Grace travelled over the whole of this tour in her carriage, whereas a few years since the country was only accessible by boat, on foot, or on ponies, attended by guides to point the way and render assistance through bogs and mo rasses. Her Grace was accompanied by the Member for the Northern Burghs, James Loch, Esq., and at Tongue they we re joined by Lord and Lady Surrey.—lnverness Courier. MONUMENT TO SIR WALTER SCOTT.—WC are informed that subscriptions in aid of the above object have been received from Calcutta, amounting to 4931. Os. Bd., and also that - 13 4 /. 18 s. 2 d. has be en sent from Bombay for the same purpose. —Edinburgh Courant. DESPATCII.---TIIC ship Lady Rowena, Captain Main, sailed from Liverpool the 21st 'May, and arrived in Li verpool on the 23d of August, having been absent only 94 days, including the day of sailing. The passage to New York was made in 27 days, landing 10-1 passengers ; to Charleston, 20 days, landing 300 tons of salt ; and back to Liverpool in 28 days. Her stay at New York was four days, and at Charles_ ton 15 days. SUICIDE.—Last night, about six o'clock, a young man, named Ackroyd, eighteen years of age, son-in-law of Corfleld, of Fleur-de-lis-court, Fetter-lane, hung himself In his ehop, No. 3, Old Fish-street-hill. When discovered he was quite dead. The inquest will be held this day. ExzeuTiori.—John Heyes, who was convicted at the present Assizes for an act of violence on Frances Stott, his niece, at Warrington, and left for execution, suffered the ex t re me penalty of the law, at Lancaster, on Saturday, at 12 o'clock. He was in the most extreme state of debility, arising from his refusing to take but very little food since ho was con demned.—Liverpool LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1634. The whole of the Paris Papers of Monday have been received by express, together with accounts of the same date as those received yesterday from Ma drid. The French Journals inform us that Marshal GERARD, the President of the Council, and Minister of War, was seriously indisposed, and that the KING had expressed the most anxious solicitude for his re covery. The MARSHAL'S family were seriously alarmed about him ; though the physicians were of opinion that his recovery might be confidently hoped for in a few days. No despatches more recent than those of Sunday night had been received in Paris from Spain, up to the departure of our latest arrivals from France. From the private correspondence of the French Journalists, we find a confirmation of the account already given of RODIL'S having cleared the valley of the Bastan of all adherents to the cause of the unfortunate Don CA RL OS ; and of the precipitate flight of the Royal Usurper in the direction of France. The general opinion among the best informed commercial agents in Paris is, that the war in Spain may be regarded as terminated ; that Don CARLOS is reduced to such extreme distress as to find it impossible to protract the contest any longer without periling his personal safety ; and that all he now meditates is how he can best effect his escape out of the kingdom. That this is not at all unlikely would appear from the following despatch from General RODIL to Count HARISPE, of which a copy bearing date the 21st of August was forwarded to the Duke de FRIAs. Here it is : " TO 1119 EXCELLENCY COUNT ITARISPE. " I have at this time to state as follows : " I proposed to divide the army into three strong columns, each of them capable of beating the rebels (faccioncs) of Navarre and the Biscayan provinces, even in the case of their uniting in advantageous positions. To conceive this idea and carry it into execution, was one and the same thing. The objects that I had in view were Zumalacarreguy and the Pre tender. Charging myself with the latter, I confided the attention to the former to Mareschal de Camp Don Juan Gonzalez Anteo, with whom was to co-operate the 3d column or division of vanguard, which is the same, under the command of Brigadier General Don Francisco de Paula Figueras, occupying La Burmida and the valley of Araquil, from Salvatierra to Cruce, in the vicinity of Pampe luna, taking the direction of Amescuas and Ulzama, if neces sary, in consequence of the movements of the enemy. On the 14th I left Muez, and, by Pampeluna, moved on Elisondo, which I reconnoitred. I then countermarched rapidly towards the Pretender, because I knew he had moved on San Estevan ; and from that day he was always about from five to six leagues distant from my vanguard, and neither the rainy weather nor the badness of the roads prevented his flight through the most impassable tracts of Guipuscoa and Biscay. Having re treated rapidly, by forced marches, from eight to ten leagues, he arrived last night at Feiza, which I suppose he quitted this morning ; but to this hour I cannot inform your Excellency the direction he took, with five battalions, and two companies of guides that accompany them, and whom I will pursue incessantly. As it may happen that the chief and his followers may intend, in whole or in part, to take refuge in France, I communicate this intelligence to your Excellency for your information, and with a view to the re sults which I have solicited from you, and for which I shall be grateful. I know, though not officially, that the day before yesterday there was an encounter between Zumalacarreguy and some of the columns of Anteo or Figueras ; but up to this moment lam in want of exact information of the result. I suppose the engagem en t too k p l ace i n l a A mezcua Al ta. I remain in all respect, &c. " I ought to add to your Excellency, that for these fifteen during which I have been p ursu i ng t h e P reten d er, I h ave rested neither night nor day, lowering him in the publie opi nion, and covering him with ridicule as he deserves, while those who follow him are, like the rest, disgusted and famish ing, without shoes, and in rags ; and it would not therefore be surprising if we should soon get rid of him in a satisfac tory manner. " Head Quarters of Toloso, Aug. 21, 1834. " The Marquis de RODIL. '' To the Duke de Frias." This despatch confirms our previous information re specting the wretched plight to which the rebels have been reduced. Then, again, there is no great pro spect of a protraction of the war from men whose heels are their principal weapons, offensive and defen sive. RODIL declares that he is resolved to hunt them down, and that, in all conscience, is as much as can be done at present. By the way, is there not some resemblance between the military movements of the Spanish Rebel, and the Royal Numidian whom SALLUST has immortalized for his treachery, fratri cide, and bush-ranging ? The Ronal. marches, and the Royal retreats, perpetually remind us of the Ju gurthine tactics ; nor are the characteristics of the pre - - sent opposing generals so different from those whose names are familiar to every school-boy, as to impress us with any idea of incorrectness in the association of such events. The accounts from Madrid are from being of so satisfactory a character. The Reporters, or parties who are to draw up and present to the Chambers the Report of the Finance Committee, have been named. They are the Marquis de IVIONTEVIRGEN, and CAR RASCO, both of whom voted against the recognition of any part of the foreign debt, except the Cortes bonds. The Committee sat twice on the 25th of August, and on a division which took place in the • morning sitting respecting the Aguado loans, there was a majority of one against their recognition. The minority did all they could, by arguments, menaces, and threats, drawn from the present state of Spain, and the vortex of difficulties into which she has been drawn, and is now whirled about, to induce them to agree to the recognition of the entire debt, but without success. The majority were inexorable, and seemed to think of nothing but of the lesson their conduct would be to those money-jobbers who are ever ready to assist , despots with the means of crushing the growing independence of their peOple. Still TORENO is far from being cast down. He hopes that his influence is still sufficient to bring matters round again to the precise point at which he left them. The worst of it is that he is not for pay ing in full. .By his scheme all would lose, but none would lose to any serious extent. However, the ma jority among the Ministry and in the Chambers are for the full and entire recognition of the Cortes Bonds, to the last fraction of the principal and interest, be sides the compounding with the holders of other Spa nish Stock at a per ventage of from 30 to 50, which is rather more than its present price in the Money market. Still it ought to be remembered by the Spa nish authorities that the depreciation of the value of this Stock altogether arose from suspicions on the part of the public with repect to the honour of Spain, which unfortunately appears not to have been founded in ignorance of the national character. Perhaps this last observation may be too severe, and we shall cer tainly contradict it as soon as the Madrid Cabinet enable us to do so, in a way which shall tend to esta blish the pecuniary honesty of Spain on a pedestal as immoveable as that which supports the records of her chivalric glory. We point with pride to another part of The Sun of this day, for proofs of the esteem—not to say the reverence—in which Lord BROUGHAM is held by the more enlightened portions of his northern countrymen. The Hull, the Edinburgh, the Inverness, the Aberdeen, together with a whole host of other provincial journals, vie with each other in their expression of grateful and respectful feelings towards him. Nor is this all. Many of the large cities and towns of Scotland have resolved to take the opportunity of his Lordship's visit to that country, to mark by a public dinner, or some equally significant testimony, not only their sense of his unri valled exertions in the cause of Reform, but their con tempt also for the gigantic slanders that have lately been heaped up against him. We rejoice at this seasonable manifestation of confidence on the part of the northern Reformers, and feel convinced that where ever Lord BROUGHAM bends his course—whether east, west, or south—he will be received with equal enthusiasm, so strong is the disposition in the public mind to support the cause of truth and justice—more especially when it is evident, as in the present instance, that these are assailed not by frank and manly, however mistaken, argument, but by sneers—insinuations— and that grave, mysterious shake of the head which would fain imply that the worst yet remains to be told. In this crafty--this bush-ranging—style of warfare, the " leadi ng J ourna l o f E urope "— as it rejoiceth to intitule itself—is, and has long been, an adept. It wields its pen at one moment as if it were a stilletto, at another as if it were a bludgeon, and though it now and then boldly fronts its enemy—especially when it has lots of backers and seconders to cheer it on t.) the attack —yet it is far fonder of dealing him a stab or a knock-down blow from behind and in the dark. This is the style in which the Times has lately attempted to assail Lord BROUGII A St. Its direct charges against him are few and frivolous. Its insinuations are infinite, and meant to imply all sorts of political enormities. Now the truth is—and this will be found lurking at the bottom of all its violence—that our contemporary's vanity has been stung to the quick because the - LORD CHAN CELLOR will not suffer himself to be held in leading strings by it. It feels that it made a sad blunder on the question of the Poor Law Bill, and is indignant that its quondam protege will not blunder in company, and allow himself to be dragged through the mire with it. It has a natural dislike to be exposed, in solitary dignity, to the laughter of all England. What the Journal that has enlightened its countrymen for years past, ba made at length the subject of their derision—find no one to stand by it, and take share in its embarrassments—no one " to march through Coventry" with it ; but, after beating up for recruits in all directions, be compelled at length to take up with the lame, the halt, and the maimed—to sue in agony for a kind word from the Tory Journals of which it has ever been the scornful opponent, and—Oh, bitterest of humiliations !--to be thankful even for a condescending glance from COB BET T, who now affects to pity and patronize our con ' temporary ? What I the leading journal of Europe be exposed to all this weight of degradation ? Can we wonder that it feels sensibly its situation, and is indig nant with Lord BROUGHAM, who, as its "pet" for " fif teen years," it thinks ought to have preferred its inte rests to those of the country, and stood by it under every emergency ? 'Wounded vanity—we repeat — is at the bottom of all our contemporary's attacks on his Lordship, and it is with unspeakable regret, we find a Journal so wary —s o sagacious —so eloquent—so powerful for good or evil—risking all its influence--wasting all its talents—falsifying all its opinions—frittering away all its energies —n ow endea vouring to prove that white is black, and now that black is white—and swaying to and fro, like a ship without rudder or compass, at the mercy of caprice and passion. The passing of the Poor Law Bill by accla mation, in the very teeth of its bitterest hostility, and still more, the sense of the country so unequivocally expressed against it in the present instance of Lord BROUGHAM, should be fraught with significant hints to the Times, and read it a useful moral lesson. DRESDEN, AUG. 24.—Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and suite, arrived here yesterday, from Carlsbad. LONDON SESSIONS-(THIS DAY). These Sessions commenced to-day before the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, and Aldermen Kelly, Sir Chapman Marshall, Harmer, Wilson, and Ansley. The Grand Jury having been empanneled and sworn, The RECORDER proceeded to address them, stating. that on looking over the London calendar, it did not appear to him to present any circumstances requiring particular comment, the offences being of the ordinary description. The Learned Judge, after stating that it was necessary, previous to finding any bill, that twelve of the Grand Jury should concur, and stating the evidence that was required in cases of perjury, commented upon the great service Grand Juries were in such cases, and trusted that the time was far distant when Courts of Justice would be deprived of their valuable service. There were no less than five indictments against persons of the Jewish persuasion for keeping disorderly houses, in three of which the defendants pleaded guilty and promised to abate the nuisance, and the other two were ordered to stand over until the next Sessions in consequence of the ill-health of the defendants. Joseph Catchbolt, a disciple of Vulcan, was indicted for as saulting Catherine Million, a scourer of pots, on the 21st of May last. It appeared from the statement of the prosecutrix, a meagre looking Irish woman, that on the day in question she was busily employed in her avocation of pot scour ing when she was disturbed by three or four little urchins playing at chuck-halfpenny in the court in which she resided ( Falcon-court, Cripplegate); she had such an utter de testation of gambling, that while it was going on she could not proceed with her work, and she threatened that if they did not immediately disperse, she would compel them to do so by pouring over them the dirty water with which she had scoured the pots. This threat being of no avail, she proceeded to carry it into execution, when, (continued the prose cutrix), please you, my Lord, a few of the splashes went over this gentleman's child, pointing to the de fendant, who appeared in all the habiliments of his profession, and looked more like a Cyclops than a gentleman—( Great laughter)—when out he rushed with the fury of a lion, and with a hot bar of iron which he had in his hand struck me over the head and hit me upon the eye. The blow came with such force that I thought it had struck my eye out of my head ; and please you, my Lord, as I am a living sinner, I could not see out of it for ten days.—( Laughter. ) The defendant—Pleasa you, my Lord, I only went out to ask her a civil question, that was how she dared to throw the water over my child ; but I had not time to do so before she ris up a quart pot and struck me on the arm. I did'nt mean to hurt her, my Lord, and I only held up the bar of iron to defend myself; her and- I have lived next door neighbours together for a long while, and have always been very friendly—we have had many a glass of gin together— ( Great laughter)—and she now owes me three half-pence which I lent her some time ago to get a glass of gin with.— ( Great laughter.) The prosecutrix—Oh you false man !—( Increased laughter. ) The defendant—Please you, my Lord, I know what it has all been done for. She only wanted to get me to give her money to make it up, and I have several of my neighbours here who will state that she said she would have a regular " flare up" out of my pocket—( Great laughter)—l then said, my Lord, that I would have the law, and nothing but the law, and that I would go before the gentle men and state every particular, and that nobody but a Jury of my country should decide between us.—( Great laughter.) I have paid three-and-twenty shillings for law already, and that is a considerable sum to me. As to her eye being out, as she talks about, why, please you my Lord, she has had three or four black eyes since that time, which have been given her by her husband, for getting drunk. I had no intention to do her any injury, my Lord ; but when she gets drunk she kicks up such a row, that no man can bear it. The daughter of the defendant stated that the prosecutrix had struck her father with the quart pot, and that he only held up the iron bar for the purpose of defending himself. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended him to the clemency of the Court. The RECORDER sentenced him to pay a fine of 205., with liberty to speak to the prosecutrix. The defendant said it was quite impossible he could pay the fine, as he had been obliged to pledge almost every thing he had to raise the three-and-twenty shillings he had already spent in law. - The RECORDER said perhaps he could prevail upon the pro• secutrix to take it by instalments. The prosecutrix expressed her readiness to receive it at Is. per week. The RECORDER—as the prosecutrix and defendant were leaving the Court—Now live in charity together. Mr. CLARKSON—(tO the defendant)—You can deduct out of it the three half-pence she owes you for gin.—(Laughter.) The Lord Mayor, Recorder, and Corporation, having to carry up the address of congratulation on her Majesty's safe return to this country, the Court rose at half-past 12 o'clock.

Our arrivals this morning are a French mail ; also one from Halifax, by the Duke of York, sailed on the 14th of August. Halifax papers to the 10th August, Prince Edward's Island papers to the 6th August, and Buenos Ayres papers to the 22d June, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. (From the Halifax Papers.) His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia has directed the detention at the quarantine-ground of all ves sels coming from Canada. THE FUNDS. The express from Paris this morning, does not bring any official information from the theatre of war in Spain, with the exception of a despatch from Rodil (in the Morning Chro nicle), which is of some importance, if official ; as it states that Don Carlos was aiming to get into France. The Spanish Stock has improved at Paris, 2 Per Cents., 38; Rentes, 74 80. The Committee at Madrid has not as yet made its report. Consols opened at the price they left off yesterday, 90-k for the Account ; at present they are 901 buyers. Spanish opened at 47k, and have receded to 47k 4. HALF-PAST ONE. Up to the present hour we have no political information to communicate. As Spanish Stock is again the mania of speculation, and the general topic of conversation on Change, where the holders of the Cortes bonds give their opinions on reports according to their sinister views, we must be cautious of placing full confidence in the various statements which are afloat in respect to the intentions of the Financial Committee at Madrid, and wait for an official report on the subject, which is expected on Saturday next. - Although the Hebrew party are settling Spanish, which caused it to be heavy in the early part of the day, within a short period the market has taken a turn, and Spanish reached 48 ; at present it is 41 ; Portuguese, 80 Consols may be quoted 901 for the Account.

What Crabbe effected in poetry, the author of " The Country Curate" has here done in prose ; his materials, like those of Crabbe,'.being dra wn f rom rea l lif e, i n some its remarkable forms. The story of " the Poacher," for example, contains the history of a singular character who lived not long ago, in a village near Ashford. " The Miser," again, died about ten years ago, after having served a cure in Romney Marsh up wards of a quarter of a century ; and the " Parish Appren tice" ran his course within the memory of the last generation; his career is a very extraordinary one. The same may be said of each of the remaining sketches, which describe a great va riety of character. The above work appears as the new vo lume of " The Standard Novels and Romances," which may justly be designated " The Library of Entertainment." THE MAGAZINES--CONTINUED• THE ASIATIC JOURNAL. Parbury, Allen, and Co. We have only a faint recollection of how we felt, in our boyish years, at the near prospect of the holi days ; but we perfectly well recollect the radiant face of the Speaker of the House of Commons when the last session was at its close. The Honourable Gen tleman had exhausted—and no wonder I—the im mense stock of patience he had set out with ; it was visible that he could hardly keep his seat for the fidgets, and, with all his Tory predilections, he seemed ready to snap his fingers in the face of his friend, Sit Robert. Just so it is with us —pace tanti viri—in coming to the last of the periodicals. We have all possible regard for the Asiatic, but, never theless and notwithstanding, we too shall snap our fingers, and make as short work with him as may be. " On the Oriental Phraseology of the New Testa ment," is an article much more learned than useful. " Madras, Seringapatam, and Bangalore," is a plea sant sketch upon anything and everything, of which the following extract is no bad specimen : " The Madras jugglers are famous all over the world ; the exploits of Ramo Samee are still fresh in the recollection of the inhabitants of London, and though the exhibition of simi lar acts of dexterity is often more extraordinary than pleasing, the display of legerdemain in India would almost induce the belief that the age of necromancy had not passed away. A man who, in 1828, seated himself in the air without any appa rent support, excited as much interest and curiosity as the auto maton chess-player who astonished all Europe a few years ago ; drawings were exhibited in all the Indian papers, and various conjectures formed respecting the secret of his art, but no very satisfactory discovery was made of the means by which he effected an apparent impossibility. The bodies of the Ma dras jugglers are so lithe and supple, as to resemble those of serpents rather than men. An artist of this kind will place a ladder upright on the ground, and wind himself in and out through the rings until he reaches the top, descending in the same manner, keeping the ladder, which has no support what ever, in a perpendicular position. Some of the most accom plished tumblers will spring over an enormous elephant, or five camels placed abreast ; and in rope-dancing they arc not to be outdone by any of the wonders of Sadler's Wells. Swallowing the sword is a common operation, even by those who are not considered to be the most expert ; and they have various other exploits with naked weapons of a most frightful nature. A woman,—for the females are quite equal to the men in this kind of feats,—will dip the point of a sword in some black pig ment, the hilt is then fixed firmly in the ground, and after a few whirls in the air, the artiste takes off a portion of the pigment with her eye-lid. A sword and four daggers are placed in the ground, with their edges and points upwards, at such a dis tance from each other as to admit of a man's head between them ; the operator then plants a scymetar firmly in the ground, sits down behind it, and at a bound throws himself over the scymetar, pitching his head exactly in the centre between the daggers, and, turning over, clears them and the sword. Walk ing over the naked edges of sabres seems to be perfectly easy ; and some of these people will stick a sword in the ground, and step upon the point in crossing over it. A more agreeable display of the lightness and activity, which would enable the performers to tread over flowers without bending them, is shown upon a piece of thin linen cloth stretched out slightly in the hands of four persons, which is traversed without ruffling it, or forcing it from the grasp of the holders. The lifting of heavy weights with the eyelids is another very disgusting ex hibition. Some of the optical deceptions are exceedingly cu-' rious, and inquirers are to this day puzzled to guess how plants and flowers can be instantaneously produced from seeds." " Kiernander, the Missionary," no fictitious per sonage, by-the-bye, is to the full as amusing as any 'of his brother jugglers recorded in the above extract. It is impossible, however, to bear him malice, for— poor fellow I—he was twice married. It must be a heart of stone that would, or could, deal roughly with him after this infliction. He actually died of a se cond wife. " The Sword of Antar" extends, says the Editor, to twenty-six volumes, whether folio or quarto he has omitted to state. After such an an nouncement, we dare not lay hands even upon the episode, given in the magazine, lest we should pull down a whole library upon our luckless heads. " Go vernment House, Calcutta," is a delightful piece of travelled gossip ; and with one brief extract from it we conclude : " The principal entrances are approached by noble flights of steps ; but these, being without shelter, are never used except upon state occasions, when a native durbar is held, and the nobles of Hindostan come in all their barbaric pomp to pay their respect at the vice-regal court : a circumstance of rare occurrence in the present day. The carriages of the Euro pean visitants drive under these steps, and the company enter through the lower regions. " The effect upon a stranger, who has not been previously made acquainted with the cause of the arrangement, is very singular. It is scarcely pcissible for a lively imagination to escape the notion that, instead of being the guest of a palace, he is on the point of being conducted to some hideous dun geon as a prisoner of state. The hall, which opens upon the dark cloister formed by the arch of the steps above, is large, low, and dimly lighted, completely realizing the beau ideal of the interior of the inquisition. A good deal of rubbish of va rious kinds, piled confusedly and put out of the way behind rows of pillars, traversing the length of the hall, favours the supposition that it is a place of punishment, for in their shape less obscurity, these fire-engines, or printing-presses, or what ever they may be, have very much the appearance of instru ments of torture. Upon the floor, the spectator, who has im bibed the apprehension that he has been entrapped into some pandemonium of horror, may see the dead bodies of the vic tims to a tyrannical government thickly strewed around-- human forms apparently wrapped in winding-sheets, and stretched out without sense or motion upon the bare pavement, add to the ghastly effect of the scene. These are the palan quin-bearers, who, wrapped up from head to foot in long coarse cloths, are enjoying the sweets of repose, little dream ing of the appalling spectacle they present to unaccustomed eyes. Many dusky figures move about with noiseless tread, and were it not for one redeeming circumstance, the whole pa norama would be calculated to inspire horror and alarm. In the midst of these dreary catacombs, gay parties of visitors, ladies in ball-dresses, and gentlemen in full uniform, are pass ing along, not in the least discomposed by appearances so fa miliar to them, even when there is the additional agremen of a fog, which in the cold season usually casts a mystic veil over these subterraneous apartments." THE ANALYST. Simpkin and Marshall. This new magazine is the natural growth of a pro vincial town, and it would, therefore, be hardly just to scrutinize it too narrowly. We may, however, recom mend the editor to be more liberal of his local infor mation, where, it is natural to suppose, he would be strongest ; it would prove equally acceptable, though from different motives, to his town and country readers. Besides, this would give a peculiar feature to his work, a something on which to ground a spe cific claim to the public notice, while it would spare him all comparison with his powerful rivals, who, having the talent of the two capitals at command, are not likely to be beaten on their own topics. Does not Worcester, or do not any of the neighbouring counties, supply subjects of antiquarian or other inte rest in sufficient abundance to make the mine worth working ? THE QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF AGRICUL- TURE. Blackwood. There will be some difficulty, we suspect, in per suading those, who are not devoted to agriculture, to take up this useful and amusing journal. The novel readers, a class whose name is legion,,will be scared away by the very title, like so many sparrows at the sound of a cherry-clapper ; the professional of all kinds will hardly stoop from their proper pedestals to meddle with such humble matters ; the blue-stockings, while they turn up their noses and uncork their scent bottles, w ill protest that manur e i s a t hi ng tota ll y un heard of in Arcadia ; and the citizen, having heard at some time of his life that hot rolls were made of the Bread-fruit tree, will not deem it necessary to push his agricultural inquiries any farther. Yet all these classes may derive both pleasure and profit from the study of this admirable pamphlet. It does something more than teach how corn is to be grown or cattle to be fed, though a man will not be the worse for the knowledge of such things either ; it shows science in its practical application to one of the most essential pursuits of human industry, and dignifies it by the connection. Amongst a multitude of valuable papers, though most of them are too long for notice, is an account of Mr. Kemp's work " On decomposed Salt as a Manure." An erroneous notion at one time pre vailed amongst our farmers, that muriate of soda was beneficial to the land, and added considerably to its productive powers. It seems strange such a fancy should have ever o bt a i ne d with agriculturalist' to y. of extent that this did, for it was opposed to the voic,tht all exp er i ence ; th e injurious effects of salt up o on P as soil had even psed into a p ro verb both in the io, and West, and to raze a man's house, and s°w rsa ll: salt the groun d on w hi c h i t h a d s tood, was " ice i d o accepted for a symbol of extreme desolation.

The importance of this di s cover} , , if w e we owe to Mr. Kemp, will eas ily be estimate.; soy reflect that salt is more u n i versa lly distribute d I ' d ' f o ssil other natural product, both in its marine an 00 state, and that from this circumstance, as i as. 0 SY its requiring to be used i n sma ll q uantities only' Ifother be brought to supersede the use of bones, and ° fo lt, more expensive manures.

In obviating this as it so that decomposed salt may be applied larg el i et must be to fertilize the earth, consists the sect Ile Se e Mr. Kemp. If w e m a y b e li e v e him, and we hec k reason to doubt his word, he has found a means scwicl' the muriate of soda may be decomposed withe'' oo t enhancing the cost of the material. But we cB O O do better than give the history of the discove r y own words:-- " I have taken great pl easure i n making e °- The; d " trials of the efficacy and value of different manure s ' T o pcf .oe ' title of barilla having been employed with this vie w : rt i r ; very decisive proof, that it possessed the recta''' -e at ion',o ties in a high degree, it was inferred that its l er At consequent on the soda which this substance steu it y largely to possess.
