It was soon clear to all thinking men that, if certain measures were brought up to the Lords, a most perilous collision would take place between the two Houses—perilous, that is to the Lords, against whom the popular cry was, as it still is, both loud and vehement. 'We do not pretend to know the actuating motives of the Ministry on this subject, but of one thing we are certain, that had three or four of the Bills, principally desired, been carried through below, the Peerage must have been sacrificed ; less would not have satisfied the people, already more than enough exasperated against them, or else the na tion must have been left to the mercy of the triumphant Tories. The latter was by no means the probable half of the alternative, and, little as some bold spirits may think of lopping off the peerage at a blow, we must con fess ourselves seriously alarmed at the idea of so exten sive an amputation. Even if the measure had been abstractedly good, the present fevered state of the na tion would make it infinitely dangerous. As to the " state and prospects of Toryism," it will need no very protracted discussion. From this we learn that the Tories fancy themselves again on the high. road to power, an illusion natural enough to their forlorn state, for as the poets tell us, and the experience of every day confirms their dictum, hope always grows brighter in proportion to the increasing darkness of the prospect. At the same time we do not altogether deny the possibility of their once again finding themselves in place, for the ultra Radicals, in hope of the mischief to follow, would no doubt lend their best aid to elevate them into office ; but their stay there would be short ; the aura of their real power has passed away with the divine right of Kings, never to return, and in a few years only their very name will be, like the term Jacobite, merely an echo of the days gone by, a dreamy recollection, over which a few old crones will ruminate in their chimney nooks, and a tale for the writers of romance. Won derful must be the blindness of the Tories that they cannot see all this, which is plain enough to every one except themselves. It is difficult to understand how any set of men can be so utterly in arrear of the age in which they live, as to suppose that there is the slightest chance of the Tories being again allowed to dispose of the realm at their good pleasure as they have done, as if the whole land, with the people on it, were their undoubted property, and men held their lives and goods but on a lease. The very attempt to restore such a state of things, if they should be mad enough to venture on it, would infallibly bring about a revolution that would sweep them away from the face of the earth, in defiance of the guns and bayonets of the military. To make amends for this Tory trash which we wil ling consign ever to the British Scombri, aut quicquid chartis amicitur ineptis, there is a glorious article, entitled, " Literature and the Jesuits." Old Chris topher North never penned a better ; and that Regina well knows, with all her bragging, is a sentence to be proud of. The good sense and good humour, no less than the intimate knowledge of the subject displayed in this article, are beyond all praise, and most willingly would we extract the whole, but as that from its length is impossible, we will not lessen its merit to the reader by breaking it up into fragments. 0, si sic omnia ! To be sure, the ingenious rogue is neither more nor less than a special pleader ; by a happy obliquity of vision, he squints over the pecca dillos of the Jesuits, their grillings, and bone-stretch ings, and neck-twistings ; but then he is thoroughly master of his subject, and deals with it right pleasantly. There is an odd sort of satisfaction too in being able to read the eulogy of Ignatius without flinching—a thing which no Protestant could have done a century or so gone by, when the old fox's institute was in full vigour, and his gridiron was heated red hot to broil heretics pour r amour de Dieu ! But now—the Heavens be praised, therefore---,,we can admire him, as we might look at a dead centipede, pickled and stop pered up in the surgeon's phial ; or, to state matters more heroically, " all his good now blazes, all his guilt lies buried in the grave." If it were only for the sake of this one article, we must e'en part in good humour with Regina, and, that we may do so, we pass over the rest of her misdoings sub silentio.

QII. THE MONTHLY MAGAZINE. The old Montidy is somewhat dull this month, at least it is less vivacious than usual,—marvellously like a sick joker, who, unable to forego his vocation, yet utters his quips and cranks with a face of preterna tural longitude. Even the " Nights in the Galley," instead of being bright and sparkling, as we have so often found them, have only here and there a pale star faintly twinkling out from the September darkness. We are perfectly aware of the hackneyed line, ali quando bonus dormitat Homerus ; but though Homer might nod when it so pleased him, and no great harm done either to his fame or his finances, we much doubt whether the same license of napping can be granted to the writer of a magazine. He is like a professed wit, bound to say a certain quantity of good things, on pain of forfeiting his character of joker-general, and as Stephano said when he missed his bottle, " There is not only disgrace and dishonour in that, but an infinite loss." The attempt of Sir Andrew Agnew and his compeers to turn Sunday into a black Monday has called forth an ar ticle rather more historical than argumentative, and per haps in this case argument would have been useless, the knight having a very saintly contempt for so carnal a guide as reason. Were the fact otherwise, we might be tempted to inquire by what right these fanatics pre sume to step between God and man, and dictate on matters on which no one can safely assume to himself to judge for another ? The Jew looks upon Saturday as his Sabbath, but is he for that to bid labour cease with those, who, adopting a different mode of calculation, have made the Sunday holy ? If not, why should the Christian pretend to exercise a more despotic sove reignty over the thoughts and conscience of his fellow beings ? Again, the Catholic, in most countries, having gone through his prescribed duties in the morn ing, deems it no sin to devote his evening to innocent amusement ; he opens the ball-room, the theatre, the museum, frankly and unreservedly to his brethren ; and why not, if he feels that lie can do so without any violation of his moral or religious duties ? Is he for that the less sincere in his faith ? or what is there in the creed or conduct of the fierce and gloomy Calvinist, that he should presume to lay down the form and manner of religious observance for another ? With as much show of reason might the Catholic turn round upon the Dissenter, and de mand that he should keep holy the fast-days of the Roman calendar, and abstai n from flesh through Lent. But, " No," says the saintly corps ; "we in sist upon your doing as we do, or beware the stocks and the treadmill. You shall scream Psalms till you are hoarse, and eat cold pudding on a Sunday ; hot por ridge would scald your souls, and to roast a leg of mut ton would ensure your own being roasted, while to ex change kisses with a lass"—oh dear loh dear is the shortest cut to perdition." It is mighty pleasant, notwithstanding. By the by, if the very absurd Sir Andrew should ever again venture to bring forward his Sabbath Bill, we trust some one of our senatorial sages will have the wit to get up and propose as an amendment that no marriages shall be contracted on a , THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1834 Sunday, for whether matrimony be a plague or a plea sure, a labour or an amusement,—and it must come under one of these categories,—it is equally unfitted to be retained in the bead-roll of Sabbath avocations. No, no, Sir Andrew—no roast-beef, no matrimony-- the logic of the thing is absolutely incontrovertible. To be serious, though it is hardly worth while talking reason to such blockheads, the line of interference may be drawn both easily and certainly. The law should so far interpose its authority as to secure to piety the uninterrupted enjoyment of its sabbath ; anything beyond this is downright tyranny, and, like all other despotic acts must eventually defeat its object. W e do not, however, believe that the better part of the Dissenters, a high-minded and virtuous body, have, or ever had, any wish to fix the yoke of their opinions on the necks of others ; these attempts have emanated from a few sour, ignorant bigots, who are divided between God and Mammon, and who cannot bear that others should enjoy the advantages their fanaticism has made them deny to themselves. These pseudo-saints ima gine they best fulfil their obligations to Heaven, not by the practice of good, not by the active discharge of any moral duties, but by the observance of certain outward forms, and a hatred of all pleasurable indulgence, as if enjoyment were a crime, and a sour face the most acceptable offering to the divinity. The wisdom which enjoined the seventh day for a day of rest, can not be disputed, but in the earlier, and cer tainly not the least pure, era of Christianity, neither presbyter nor proselyte ever entertained the idea of compelling its observance ; that piece of absurd tyranny was reserved for Constantine the Great, a semi-pagan in his conversion, who, while he published one edict forbidding labour on a Sunday, sent forth a second law that made it a duty to consult the aruspices. The act was well worthy of the man. But we would ask whether reason,—and religion is reason in its best and most perfect form,—we would ask whether reason does not point out the propriety of making Sunday a day of quiet recreation to the over toiled labourer, who has known neither rest nor enjoy ment through the whole of the weary week ? There is a time, says the inspired volume, for everything ; even prayer itself is a part only of our many duties, and valuable as its observance may be in the fitting time and place, it must not be protracted to the neglect of other obligations. But the fanatics of all religions have ever been more inclined to pay homage to Arimanes than to worship the principle of good ; drawing from their own gloomy and diseased imagina tions, they have flung over benevolence itself a robe of darkness, at one time staining the altar with blood, and, when the spreading light of faith and reason would no longer tolerate these enormities, they have been fain, instead, to offer up a sacrifice of tears. To call another cause—" The Nights in the Gal ley," though less lively than usual, are not without amusement. The following anecdote, whether true or false, and most probably it is only .imagined, is yet highly characteristic of Jack's way of proceeding when. his money is in question " One morning, just after they had tacked ship, and made sail, to stand in as usual for the day, the man at the mast-head saw something to windward, bearing down under all sail for the port. Directly they saw this, they clapped every stitch of sail on her—' Man the royal haulyards--topmen, aloft; shake out all reefs—keep her clean full, quarter-master,' says the skipper. Ay lay ! Sir.' She was getting close to them now, and directly she saw them, she shortened sail, and tried to escape, by coming to the wind ; but it was no go. After chasing her for about half an hour, they got within gun-shot, and fired at her. She saw she had no chance of escape, and afraid the frigate would take a better aim next time, she hauled her colours down, and squared her main-yard. Di rectly they seed that, down went the cutter, and a luff, a reefer, and the bat's crew went to take possession ; when they got on board, they found she was one o' them Spanish gal loons (galleons) as every body wanted to grab in the war time. Well, they put twenty hands a-board, with a luff, to take charge of her; and - the next day she sailed in company with the frigate for Plymouth ; where they arrived, and got their prize-money paid. They were all well up for money ; and as they did not know what to do with it, they determined that every man should have a gold laced hat, like the skip per's ; and when they went on shore, on leave, they bought each of them one, and the next day they all appeared on deck in their gold-laced fore-and afters ; and just before dinner, as they were almost on deck, a shore-boat comes alongside, with one o' the foretopmen in it, and some o' the fellers looking overboard, saw that he had'nt a gold lacer, but only a silver one ; so they all said it was a shame, and agreed to go aft to the first-leaftenant, and ask him not to let the feller come on board; but, just as they were going aft, the feller tried to come up the side, but he was soon stopped, and asked why he had'nt a gold-laced hat on like the rest on 'em. Th ey wouln't hear what he had to say at first, but went on abusing him for a stingy son of a gun ; at last they consented to hear him, and then he told them he had tried everywhere to get one with gold-lace, but he couln't, as there wasn't one left in the town, so he took a silver one, but made the land -crab take the same money as for a gold one. When they heard this, they were all satisfied, and allowed him to come on board, which was nothing but right, 'cause you know, it wasn't the poor fellor's fault that he couldn't find a gold-laced hat, and if he paid for one, that was all that he could do—don't you think so, lads ?' " Why, yes,' said Jack Murray, who had returned from the quarter-deck some time, and who now gave his opinion on this important question with the look of an oracle---." why, yes, sartainly, if so be as how he paid the same number of yellow boys for the silver one as the others did for their gold ones, he could not do more, so they ought to have let him come on board ; but if he hadn't, I'll be -if he should, if I'd had any thing to do with it. What do you say, Will ? ' " Sartainly he shouldn't," said Will ; a man has his prize_ money to spend, and he's no right to keep it scrowed up in his pocket like old Nibcheese.' " The " Goings on at Bramsby Hall," are not such goings on as we can bring ourselves to approve of. To argue matters in the fashion of honest Dogberry,— first, they are old as the hills ; fourthly, they are dull ; lastly, the style of them is but so so ; thirdly, their humour is without point ; and, to conclude, we don't like them. The " Black Caribs" is a very black business indeed. 'We don't like this either ; ditto of " Things Theatrical." As, however, we are in general huge friends to the Monthly, we must e'en sweeten this monstrous quantity. of dislike with a whole ha'penny worth of praise, much as Falstaff proportioned his bread to his sack ; we may just point out, then, that " Greece and Rome" is a clever article, somewhat indebted to Niebuhr, and that the no tice of " Vines and Vineyards" will be pleasant reading to the amateurs of hock and claret, and the thousand and one wines brewed by foreign honesty for the benefit of the English epicure. of the shrouds—the sullen growl of the distant thun der—the commingling, in storm and tempest, of the mighty elements of air and water. His sketch of a sudden squall comes on the reader, as it did on the " schooner," quite like a surprise ; but we give in pre ference his night-scene on a dim, spectre-haunted moor, which is finely felt : " The setting moon seemed to linger on the hill, and shed a long sickly wake on the midnight tarn, that sleeped in the hollow of the mountain, bright and smooth as if the brown moss had been inlaid with polished steel, except where a wild duck sailed over the shining surface, or the wing of the slow sailing owl flitted winnowingly across, dimming it for a mo ment, like a mirror breathed upon. I was sitting on the small moss-grown cairn, at the eastern end. The shadow of the black hills was cast so clearly in the water, that you could not trace the shore of the small lake, nor define the water line be neath the hazel bushes, and the stars were reflected in another heaven scarcely less pure than their own. I heard the rush ing of the burn over its rugged channel, as it blended with the loch, and the melancholy bleating of the sheep on the hill side, and the low bark of the colleys, and the distant shout of the herds watching the circular folds, high up on the moor, when I felt a touch on my shoulder, and, glancing down, I saw a long pale female hand resting on it, as if a person was standing behind me. It was thin and wasted, and semitran sparent as alabaster, or a white cornelian stone, with the blue veins twining amongst the prominent sinews, and on the mar riage finger there was a broken ring—l saw it as clearly as I see my own hand now, for the ends of the small gold wire of which it was composed, stood up and out from the finger. kenned weel who was there, but I had no power to speak. The sigh was repeated, and I heard a low still voice, like a distant echo from the hill-side, although I had a fearful con viction that it was uttered close behind rue, inarticulate at first, but presently it assumed a composed but most melancholy tone —yes, Mr. Brail, so sure as there is a God above us, Jessy Miller—yea, the dead spoke--in that awful moment—to the living." " My Cousin Nicholas" is a nouvellette better sus tained in point of style than incident. " Mrs. Sid dons" reviews Campbell's late life of this magnifi cent actress in a just and generous spirit. The criti cism is penned in that half serious, half comic spirit in which Professor Wilson stands unrivalled among the reviewers of the day. We have been much diverted by his speculations-occasioned by Mrs. Siddons' strange notion of the face and figure of 'Lady Macbeth—on the style of feature that is most " frequently seen grac ing the gallows." He opines that for one sallow criminal that swings, a dozen " delicate and blonde beauties" are placed, in that unenviable predica ment. The question is a subtle one, and full of delicate embarrassments, so we shall leave it to be sifted at leisure by those of our readers who are fond of speculating on such matters. " Narrative of a Visit to the seat of War in Greece," by the anecdotes it relates, convinces us—did we need such additional testimony—that the seat of Lord By ron's misanthropy was not in his heart, but in his sto mach. Indigestion was the source of all his affected scorn and hatred of humanity. When in good health, he was social, forbearing, and philanthropical to a de gree ; but what man can be a Howard, with his gas tric juice in a state of active, undisguised warfare against the best interests of his epigastrum ? We subjoin an amusing anecdote, just premising that Lord Byron had agreed to visit a fat, pompous old Abbot, at his convent in Cephalonia, but his digestion being somewhat impaired at the time, the spleen took the opportunity of laying the iron hand of possession on his temper : " The peaceful dwellers in the convent were astounded by his very rude behaviour; but altogether there was something rather ridiculous in the scene, because the good abbot had taken the pains to prepare a turgid, congratulatory address, which—environed by an array of priests in canonicals—he stood ready to inflict on his Lordship. After conferring on the party his benediction, with great solemnity he entered upon his discourse, but he might have spared the exordium, for Byron would not listen to him for a moment, but snatching a lamp, like one possessed, he cried out, " my head is burning—will no one relieve me from the presence of this pestilential mad man?" meaning the abbot, of course, and at once darted into the first room he could find, calling out with great vehemence for Fletcher, his valet, to follow him. The man of God was not, however, to be baulked so easily, and would have pursued his game, had we not informed him that his Lordship was la bouring under severe indisposition. So choice a production as the address was not to be consigned to utter oblivion ; so, for lack of more distinguished listeners, with much self-compla cency he thundered it with stentorian lungs in the unwilling ears of Count Gamba, Dr. Bruno, and the rest of the party ; Trelawny, " regis ad exemplar," having also made his exit. We were, also, unlucky in having alluded to Byron's illness, for the peroration was no sooner terminated, than the officious but well-meaning abbot insisted on visiting the sick chamber of his guest, despite all our persuasions. We immediately distinguished Byron's voice loud in anger, and, I suspect, the good man, in return for his toil and anxious solicitude, got abruptly ejected from his apartment, because, on his egress, he very earnestly enquired at me if the great man was not sub ject to occasional fits of insanity." But this was not the only wrong Lord Byron sus tained at the hands of the Greek ecclesiastics. On his way to the convent, he was met by a dirty old Epirote Bishop, with mouth redolent of garlic, and chin lavishly embellished with a " dingy beard," of which a goat might be envious. This ghostly man not only laid fast hold of his Lordship, but actually kissed him, till, what with the garlic, the bristles, and the bear-like tenacity of the bug, he was within an ace of suffocation. We know of nothing more calculated to make a man turn misanthropist on the spot than a calamity like this. One's blood might naturally be expected to run vinegar for a year afterwards. 4, Spenser" is a noble criticism, where wit, fancy, and philosophy move familiarly hand in hand together, like a band of Graces. BUCKINGHAM'S PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW. (New SEIIIiS.) London, 7 884. Mr. Buckingham's address to his Sheffield consti tuents, which heads the Review before us, and in which he gives them a detailed and, as it seems to us, a faithful account of his stewardship during the long and tedious Parliamentary Session that has just closed, exhibits the honourable member in a very creditable light ; first, as a man of ability, secondly, as a man of unwearied diligence. He says of himself, and in no boasting spirit, " In the second session, as in the first, I was present on the first day at the opening of Parliament, and present on the last day at its close. I have never asked or had a single week's leave of absence. I have attended the morning sittings as well as the evening. I have been half-a-dozen times one of the small band at our posts when the House could either not be formed, or was counted out because forty Members could not be got to attend out of 658, though much pressing business demanded their presence. I have rarely or ever quitted the House before midnight, though sitting from twelve at noon either in Committees or in the House itself ; and I have often been at the House till three o'clock in the morning, and walked home by the opening daylight. In addition to all this, I have presided at the Committee of Inquiry, of which I was elected Chairman, at 36 sittings—from twelve till three, and sometimes till four or five—and taken the lead in the examina tion of all the witnesses--never having been absent from the chair even one day out of all the sittings. I attended the Committee on Steam Navigation to India, both as a Member and a witness, having been twice to India by the two routes of the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf, on which my personal tes timony was required. I attended the Committee of Inquiry into the condition of the Hand-loom Weavers, of which I was a Member, and took part in the discussion on the considera tion of their report. And I conducted my own case against the East India Company, without the Slightest assistance, be fore the Select Committee appointed to inquire into my claims, and got up the whole body of evidence to substantiate my case, as well as to reply to the statements of my opponent. When I add to this that I wrote nearly all the original matter furnished to my Review—upon the average at least 20 pages per week—which was never an hour behind its usual time of publication—without the assistance of a person even to correct the press ; that a day has never passed in which I have not re ceived from ten to twenty letters, and had to send off at least an equal number in reply, besides the reading necessary for the liam , en t t ha a n t s current business of the day ; when I still further add to this, that no person ever sent me a memorial or petition that did not receive a speedy answer—that no one ever waited upon me either alone or in a deputation that did not obtain ready admission and a patient hearing—it will be admitted that I have been an industrious and hard-working-Member of Par health, and a visit to . the country handsomely paid for, instead of being, as they are, gratuitous, ix least an ; d o a f n t d n er that t : my AfterrnY station . as a repreAe never occupied can more than half an hour at any meal, nor slept no one could accuse me of holding a sinecure.

The in the three kingdops. prodigy o f diligence the Tattling p like this, r.O ‘‘bet.t only portion of Mr. Buckingham's address with which we feel the slightest inclination to find fault, is where he talks about the opposition that his Report of the Committee on Drunkenness has met with at the hands of the liberal press. His remarks here are too strongly tinctured with spleen to be just. He writes with the loud laughter of his opponents still ringing in his ear and rankling at his heart. Yet he says in an affected strain of equanimity, " I have already outlived the sarcasms of the London newspapers." To be sure he has I 'Who ever expected that a man of the world like Mr. Buckingham, who has weathered so many a tough gale, and borne up against so many vicissitudes, would sink under the visitation of a newspaper joke ? Just as soon should we expect to find him " die of a rose in aromatic pain I" Yet though he has stood, unconvulsed, the sneers of the Age, and survived even the killing humour of the John Bull, it is plain to see that they have left their marks on his temper. As sincere well-wishers to Mr. Buckingham, we would advise him in future to desist from any officious inter meddling with men's private habits and predilections ; Or, if he cannot wholly break himself of an itch for legislating on matters which no legislation can amend or even reach, at least to change the mode of his in terference, and begin at the right instead of at the wrong end.

They are worthy even of old Bewick, the Prince of wood-cutters. In addition to this,.they have the advantage of Mr. Loudon's express superintend ence—a gentleman whose name on all horticultural matters is a " tower of strength." STATISTICAL ACCOUNT OF SCOTLAND. No. 111. The number before us is exclusively confined to de tails, agricultural, botanical, geographical, and what not, of the two counties of Pe;.‘bles and Lanark. Among a variety of other curious particulars respect ing the latter county, we find the following " Close to the House of Lee are two trees which deserve particular mention. The first is an oak of prodigious zize• According to a late measurement, it was found to be 60 fee: of perpenicular height, and 30 in circumference, and to con tain 1,460 cubic feet of wood. It is called the Pease tree ;is understood to be a relic of the ancient Caledonian forest, and still continues to vegetate, although its huge trunk is hollowed to such a degree that ten persons have been crammed into the excavation. The other is a magnificent larch, said to have been one of the first brought into this country ; it is 100 feet in height and 18 in girth, containing 320 cubic feet of timber." Had Dr. Johnson had the good fortune to meet with either of these magnificent specimens of vegeta tion, he would not have exclaimed to Boswell when he lost his favourite walking-stick, " Consider, Sir, the value of such a piece of timber as this in Scotland." We shall give the remainder of the Magazines to- morrow. A Mr. John Duncan, advocate, of Perth, has re quested us to contradict a statement that appeared in The Sun a few days since, to the effect that he had drowned himself while under a fit of mental aberration. His letter to us on the subject informs us, that he is in the full enjoyment of ex cellent health and practice. - RYDE, AUG. 30.—The island was never known to be fuller of fashionable company than at the present mo ment, particularly Ryde and the village of Shanklin. At the latter romantic spot it has been for some time past difficult to procure a lodging, all the best houses having been engaged for longer periods than usual. TUNBRIDGE -WELLS, AUG. 29.—Amongst the re cent fashionable arrivals, are—The Earl of Ripon, Viscount Strangford, the Dowager Lady Ellenborough and the Misses Law, Captain and the Hon. Mrs. Ryder Burton, the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Leveson Gower, Sir Sandford and Lady Gra ham, Sir George Talbot and the Misses Talbot, Lord and Lady William Russel, Sir Walter Stirling, Sir Robert and Lady Wilmot, Lady Fraser, Lady and Miss Hobhouse, Sir Robert and Lady Mills, Lord Somerville, and Mi. Mas terton Ure. COWES, AUG. 30.—0 n Saturday last the sailing match (time race) took place for the Ladies' Cup, which was won by the Pet, Captain Corry, R. N. The Regatta Ball in the evening was numerously attended. AMOIT,St the com pany we noticed—His Grace the Duke of Norfolk; the Earl and Countess of Belfast, Viscount and Viscountess Corry, the Countesses of Listowell and Cavan, Lord and Lady Paget, the Earl and Countess Cadogan, Lady de Horsey, Admirals Hamond and Wollaston, General Johnstone, Captains G. Pechell, Fuller, and Corry, &c. Dancing was kept up with great spirit till a late hour. The betting at Brighton and in London is going on in favour of the Water Witch ; she is now the decided favourite, her opponent, the Galatea, not being considered by any means equal to contend with her in so long a race. NEWPORT, AUG. 30.—The Royal Carisbrook Archers held their Grand Meeting for prizes on Tuesday last at the Castle, when the propitious state of the weather drew together a very large assemblage of the rank, beauty, and fashion of our Island. Her Grace the Duchess of St. Alban's was expected. The shooting was particularly good throughout the day. The Duchess of St. Alban's very kindly sent two prizes, a pair of massive - gold ear-drops and an elegant gold chain bracelet, which were awarded to Miss J. Simpson and Miss Blachford. At the conclusion of the shooting about eighty ladies and gentlemen sat down to a most sumptuous cold collation, provided at the Castle, consisting of every de licacy that could be procured. After several speeches and toasts appropriate to the occasion, and the Stewards had been chosen for the ensuing year, dancing commenced, which was kept up with great spirit for several hours. The Archery Ball and Supper at the Guildhall on Wednesday evening were most fashionably attended ; the Lady Patroness was Lady Isabella Blachford. HARROGATE.—Harrogate is very full of company ; never more so. The King's birthday was kept as usual by the Well-women, and all sorts of sports took place on the Common. The Ball at the Dragon last Monday evening was very numerously attended. The company made a most splen did appearance, and the dancing. to the strains of an admira ble band, was kept up with the most lively interest to an early hour. On Wednesday a Public Lecture was delivered at the Promenade Room, Low Harrogate, by Dr. Crook, on the fa cility of acquiring education. On Thursday morning, at the same place, a Morning Concert was given by Miss Laidlaw, the celebrated pianist, which was attended by a fashionable company. The following noble and distinguished families are at present sojourning here :--The Marquis of Queensberry, Lord and Lady Carberry, the Countess of Hopetotin, Sir Hugh Stewart, M. P. and family, Lord and Lady Hawks, Lord Broughton, Lord Hope, Hon. Mr. and Miss Butler, the Bishop of Kilmore, Sir G. and Lady Cox, Sir J. and Lady Hall, Mr. Hudson, M. P., Sir W. and Miss Maxwell, Hon. Dudley M'Donald, Lady Wedderburn, Admiral and Mrs. Worsley, Colonel and Mrs. Rowan, Major-general and Mrs. Beevor and family, Rev. Dr. Procter, General and Mrs. Hall, Colonel and Mrs. Ince, Captain Jebb, Major and Mrs. Mason, Captain Kelly, R.

Sir Francis Burdett has arrived at his seat, Fore mark, in this county, where the Hon. Baronet is entertaining a select circle of Friends.—Derby Reporter. MR. JUSTICE JEBB.—It is announced that Mr. Justice Jebb has terminated his mortal career suddenly at Ros trevor, having been numbered with the many victims of cho lera in that quarter. As a judge his talents were respectable. As a politician he was, according to Mr. Swain, "of the sort that was much wanted :" the meaning of which was, that he was of the faction to which Ireland owes all her distractions and misery. As a private individual, we believe he was not only free from censure, but entitled to praise. The death of this gentleman may lead to consequences of greater moment than usually result from changes on the judicial bench. If the Government be wise, his successor will not be giddily ap pointed. A precipitate or injudicious choice may help the public to an exceedingly indifferent judge, without adding to their friends, or lessening their difficulties in managing the affairs of Ireland. The event occurred at Rostrevor, where the judge was with his family, spending a portion of the sum. mer months. We understand he had eaten a considerable quantity of fruit in the evening, particularly peaches. Judge Jebb was called to the bar in 1787, and was raised to the bench in 1817. Though advanced in years, he looked young and active as a man of forty.—Dublin Morning Register. " Rookwood," observes the New Monthly Maga zine, "is one of the most spirited and romantic of the season's. productions. Full of life and fire, it excites the reader, and carries' him onwards—much as" the true heroine of the tale the mare Black Bess, does the true hero of it, Turpin—with mingled sensations of terror and delight. It is a wild story told with exceeding skill, and wrought up to the highest pitch of which so singular and rare a subject is capable. The interest of the work is kept thrillingly alive from the outset to the end ; there is no time to pause till the volumes are finished. It is an excellent book, and the author may take a high station among the romance writers of our time. A new edition has, we perceive, already appeared." OPENING GP .TILE LEEDS AND SELBY tthhee RAIL WAY.--This work, we are informed, will be ope ned to public on Monday, the 22d of September, til: , day commencement of the Hull Musical Festival, but without ceremony. BLA.CKW 0 OD' S MAGAZINE. We by no means regret to see that the "Essays on Burke" are brought to a close ; not because they show any falling off of style, or clumsiness in point of handling, but because the theme, even with the most dexterous management, is a hacknied one ; and more especially because no one can adopt it, without adopting also the French revolution, than which it is impossible to conceive any subject less susceptible of novelty or interest. We have always thought that the most distressing consequence s of this revolution, have been the inordinate number of Tory pens it has been the means of putting into requisition for the last thirty years and upwards. If it caused much blood-shed, it has caused, alas I much more ink-shed. However, the subject is now dead and buried, never, we hope, to be unearthed. " Fragments from the History of John Bull" are in the allegorical manner of Arbuthnot. They are clever, and even humorous, but wholly desti tute of the sprightly, familiar, engaging archness of their prototype. It is as difficult to copy the quiet satire of Arbuthnot, as the unconscious simplicity of Goldsmith. Each, in his peculiar vein, is irresistible. The is nothing like " Sister Peg" in these Frag ments," the character of " Buckram" is not unamusingly hit off.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester paid a morning visit to the Princess Augusta yesterday, at her resi dence at Frogmore. The Earl and Countess of Errol and Lady . Adelaide Hay have left the Castle for their residence in Richmond Park. Colonel Wilson, Sir James Reynett, the Dean of Hereford, and Sir B.

The King enjoyed his usual out-of-door exercise yesterday, but the Queen did not leave the Castle. Colonel Sir William Gomm and his lady, Colonel and Mrs. Chaplin, and Colonel and Mrs. Lygon, joined the Royal dinner party yesterday evening, by special invitation. There was no military inspection in the Quadrangle thil morning. Their Majesties, visiters, suite, and household, attended Divine Service this morning in the private chapel of the Castle. The Dean of Hereford officiated assisted by the Rev. Isaac Gosset. In the afternoon the King took a carriage drive, eccom. panied by Lady Sophia Sydney. The Queen did not go out during the day. The Dean of Windsor, and the Hon. Mrs. Hobart, the Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Markham, and the Rev. J. Gosset, will have the honour of dining at the Royal table this evening. The funeral of Sir John Barton, Knt., Treasurer to the Queen took place yesterday. The body was interred in a vault in the cloisters adjoining St. George's Chapel, and was followed to the grave by the Earl of Errol, Sir Herbert Tay. lor, Sir Andrew Barnard, Colonel Wilson, Major Wright, Mr. Hudson, Sir Frederick Watson, Sir Charles Thornton, Sir Jeffrey Wyattville, and Messrs. Shiffner, Brown, and Goodwin, and all the principal domestics of the Royal House hold. The deceased gentleman had been many years in the service of their Majesties, who esteemed him very highly, and his sudden death is very sincerely lamented by all who knew him. On Tuesday next the first battalion of the Coldstream Guards, under the command of Colonel Sir William Gomm, will march from the foot barracks here to the Tower, and will be relieved by the Fusileers. BRIGHTON, AUG. 31. We have had a very great increase of arrivals during the week. Our principal hotels are full of visitors. AT THE NORFOLK. Lady Cockerels arrived yesterday.

The second show of the Brighton and Sussex Horticultural Society took place at the Old Ship Assembly Rooms, en which occasion a party dined together, presided over by J. M. Cripps, Esq., a County Magistrate, and President of the Society. Among the successful competitors for prizes were the Earl of Egremont, the Earl of Chichester, Sir C. M. Burrell, Bart., M. P., Lord Gage, &c., from whose gardens there was a plentiful supply of the choicest fruits and flowers. To such an extent are the coach proprietors opposing each others, that the fares to Hastings, a distance or about forty miles, have been reduced to 2s. GERMAN PAPERS.

Since that time bad harvests, low corn prices„ and political junctures, have constantly tended to injure the landed proprietors and farmers. Energetic and comprehen sive measures are, therefore, necessary to assist these pro. vinces, and the presence of the King is the only thing that can be effectual. But the moment is now come when something may be done. It is to be observed, that a main cause of the distress of this province is the rigour of the Custom-house regu lations on the side of Poland, by which the transit trade of the interior has been wholly destroyed. Our commercial con- ' vocation with Russia expires in April next year, in order that . 'when it is renewed those articles may be struck out which are unfavourable to us. It is wished that the King may see with his own eyes the changes that have taken place in Prussia" since the year 1806. The authorities and, the most distin guished of the landowners and merchants who are ,immediately interested in the matter will probably present a memorial to ti the King. VIENNA, Aua. 20.—The post from. Constantinople has arrived, but brings nothing of importance. The capital was ' tranquil. The report of the capture of Ibrahim Paella had died away ; it was affirmed, on the contrary, that having received reinforcements, he had assumed a for._ midable attitude, and was preparing to take vengeance on the insurgents. This would entirely change the aspect of affairs in Syria. Great activity continued to prevail in the arsenal of Constantinople. We learn from Belgrade, that the Turkish Ambassador, who is going to Paris, was performing quarantine there. His Majesty the Emperor will set out on the 29th, for the camp at Turas. His Highness the Prince of Furstenberg has arrived here from Bohemia. VIENNA, AUG. 21.—Five per Cent.

DARMSTADT, AUGUST 21.—The sentence of the court-mar tial on the ex-Lieutenant Schulz (five years' imprisonment in a fortress, loss of his commission, and of his pension), has been unanimously confirmed by the Supreme Mi litary Court. All the acts of sophistry were tried • to confirm this very simple affair, and to mislead ' people's minds, nay attempts were even made to intimidate the judges by threats, and so influence their decision. The same men who have been continually talking about the indepen dence of the judges and of the administration of justice, de swided in this instance the arbitr try interference of the Grand Doke in the administration of justice in favour of the accused ; they demanded that after the civil tribunal had declared itself incompete.nt, the Grand Duke should by a stretch of power still refer the affiir to the civil tribunal.

FRANKFORT, AUG. 25..—The Servians are impatiently looks ing forward to the next meeting of the elders of the country, inasmuch as the last meeting which took place at Niagocjewats, had not reached the hopes of the people. They calculated on obtaining a code of laws, and upon the establishment of a Senate, whereby to put an end to arbitrary Goverament. It was, in fact, known that the two secretaries of Prince Milosch had been commissioned to translate the Code Napoleon into the Servian language, but, when the results of their labour was presented to the Prince, with an intimation that he must swear to observe the laws, he threw the Code into the ire, - and said, " What shall I suffer laws to be made for me 7' • After this declaration nothing was left to the Assembly but h ta proceed with financial matters , and im p ose taxes uponitdee people, instead of redressing their grievances. —Journa Fraucfort. • • East Pritnia or what was formerly the kingdoscA of 4 - Meaning , Prussia, properly so called. _ SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. _....--.01.---- TIV ERTON RACES, AuGusr 28. .. , The Tiverton Stakes of 3 sovs. each, and 50 added, were won , by Mr. Nattle's Edgar, beating Mr. Keen's Walker, Mr. H am l ey ., • Arab, and two others, in two heats.
