BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 29.—Se number of persons with whom the Government has had to treat for the purchase of the ground required for the iron rail-road, from Brussels to Malines, is nearly 300 ; with the exception of three, all have accepted the offers made them. These three have re fused, though the offers made were very advantageous. General Mellinet has addressed to the Minister of the Interior, as President of the Committee of Rewards, a letter, in which he expresses his astonishment that he has been forgotten in the distribution just made of the Iron Cross amongst the wounded of September. M. Beige publishes some explanations on the subject, from which it results, that without disputing the other titles which General Mellinet may have to the Iron Cross, the Committee has not thought that it could include him among the wounded of September. M. de Bethune, having obtained a prolongation of the delay granted him by the late Ministry, has been set at liberty. BRUSSELS, SEPT. N.—The Chevalier Argaiz yesterday presented to the Minister for Foreign Affairs his creden tials as Charge d'Affaires of her Majesty the Queen of Spain, to the government of the King of the Belgians. The Minister of the Interior has just applied to the Chamber of Commerce of Brussels in order to learn what may be the amount of the several descriptions of Spanish stock in the country. In consequence of this letter from the Minister, our Chamber of Commerce has asked for in formation, as far as our place is concerned, of the Syndic of the brokers ( agens de Change ) but it is to be foreseen that the information which he will be able to give will be incom plete, for it will be impossible for him to know all the hold ers of Spanish stock. The bourrier Beige announces that M. Hennequin has returned the insignia of the Order of Leopold, which were sent to him when he was removed from the Government of Limburg. A Spanish journal, published at Ghent on the 26th, stated that Joseph Govaerts, a bargeman of Brussels, who had obtained permission of the Dutch authorities to make a voyage to Holland, had been inhumanly murdered by the populace at Dordrecht. This story is completely false ; the Independant of this morning publishes a letter from Rotterdam, dated the 27th, at which time Captain Go vaerts had not left Rotterdam. A letter from Antwerp, of the 29th, announces that the smallest of the steam carriages which had just arrived from England had been tried, and had completely succeeded. The Moniteur publishes a list of the wounded of Sep tember, proposed by the Committee for the Iron Cross. It fills thirteen columns, and is followed by a report of the Committee, stating the reasons for which the Cross is pro posed for the wounded only. The Committee will transmit to the Minister, as soon as possible, a second report, includ ing the wounded whose claims it has not yet been able to ascertain, as well as the other citizens who shall appear to it to be entitled to the Cross, according to the law. The number included in the first list is 581 wounded, of whom 152 belong to the army ; 158 are proposed for a cross of the first class, and 423 for the second class.

In the night of the 28th his Royal Highness Prince Fre derick William Henry and Capt. Arsiens passed through Amsterdam, on their way to the Loo, on their return from the voyage which the young Prince has made to Petersburg, &c., and last to England. It is considered as notable that the negotiation with the Duke of Nassau will be resumed ; that Prince who; with his two sons has passed the summer at Norderney and Heligoland, for the use of sea bathing, has returned to Riberich.—Journal du Commerce d' Anvers, Oct. 1. MUNICH, SEPT. 21.—1 t seems certain that the recruit ing for the Greek service will be carried on upon a more extensive scale. The troops to be raised are to consist of a division of infantry, a division of Hulans, three companies of pioneers, and one of artillery. Volunteers are promised new advantages, especially with respect to future settle ment and the free exercise of their respective professions, when they have completed their period of service, which is fixed for four years. The workmen most sought after are masons, bricklayers, carpenters, gunsmiths, blacksmiths, &c. The particulars will be shortly officially stateil.— Frankfort Papers, Sept. 25.

AFTER 'OHANGE.—This being settling day a good deal of business was done in our national funds. All descrip tions of stock were higher. The reductions in Spanish stock continue, and the alternate rising and falling is quite extraordinary, according as the reports are favourable or otherwise. To-day they were favourable, and the prices rose. Exchange on London, one month Ditto, two months l2 10 —Dutch Papers, Oct. I. At a meeting of the governors of the House of Industry, Cork, last week, Mr. B. Martin moved, and John D. Croke., Esq., seconded, a proposal that Mr. Patrick Joseph O'Brien, one of the governors, be expelled the sittings of the board of that institution, for a series of improper con duct, by which the character of that charity was greatly in jured in public estimation. Mr. O'Brien entered into a long defence of his conduct, and the meeting adjourned, by assent, to Tuesday next. MYSTERIOUS.—Captain Hobbs, of the Bristish schooner, Union Jack, have arrived at Boston on Friday, the Ist, from Windsor, Nova Scotia, picked up on the 28th ult. a hogshead containing the body of a man, but being very offen sive he let it go ogain, without examining it very particularly. One of the hogshead heads was hung on strong iron hing3s, and had a clasp similar to a harness cask, and was secured by a padlock.—Montreal Courier. HARVEST REAPERS.—For more than a week, the quay at the Broomielaw has been thronged with Irish shearers, on their way home. They presented, in general, a very motley aspect, none of them having thought of renovating the outer man. The Highlanders, too, are hastening to their native hills ; but they present a very different appearance. The blue bonnet, the home-spun and home-woven coat and trowsers ; the cloth-like short-gown upon the females, with the stout plaiden petticoat, mark them out as having been trained to economy. They generally save the most of their wages, as a safeguard against winter.—Dun fries Courier. GLASGOW CATIIF.DRAL.—We are happy to un derstand that Mr. Reid, the King's architect, has ordered esti mates for the restoration of the walls and stonework of ou r venerable cathedral ; a n d th a t a gre at and extensive repair is forthwith to be commenced. This immediate attention to the preservation and improvement of the cathedral has arisen, we believe, from the late visit of Sir John Cam Hobhouse to this city ; and the attention that the Chief Commissioner of the Woods and Forests has paid to this venerable relic of anti quity, warrants us in hoping that the Government will not be backward in carrying the projected alteration of the interior into effect. Glasgow Paper. A RARE SAMPLE OF THE SUBLIME AND BEAUTIFUL.—We quote the following from the Morning Herald of this day. If our readers can make anything of it, they are more fortunate than we are. The writer of this as tounding morceau signs himself Peregrine Urban :—" I looked towards the east, over a country of hills numerous and exuberant as the many beasts of our " Alma mater Natura"— the sun was sinking near the horizon, goldenly, glowingly, gloriously,—the clouds, abundant but broken and dispersed about in forms denoting luxurious calm, and of every hue akin to sunset, deep or delicate according as they approached or were distant from the great centre of light—on the extreme distant left ran out boldly and far into the ocean the range of Beachy Head, all of one clear tint—a wall of dark deep lapis lazuli—coldly pure as that of "the far Rhetian hills"—within its bounds Pevensey Bay, wholly waveless and reflecting the general glow above it—one level onyx—pearly, with gleams of flre—a floor for heaven—this leads the eye on by tower and town along the shore up to the cliffs, and the crowning ruin of old Hastings Castle, and thence again we travel, again with transverse glance over that noble land, gleaming like emeralds set in a thousand prismatic fantasies." The closing touch is irresistible. Conceive an emerald set in a " prismatic fantasy 1" Such a mode of setting would puzzle the most ingenious jew eller that ever existed. THE POACHERS' INGENUITY. ---F or taking of partridges, a singularmethod has b een a d opted by some poachers, viz. to provide a setting-dog, upon the head of which they fix a lantern, for the purpose of his rang i ng the f i eld in the night : on his stopping, the poachers know where the partridges lie, and draw the net up to him accordingly. The gamekeepers of the Earl of Carlisle, some time since, being on their nightly perambulations, were not a little a s t on i s h e d and alarmed at seeing a light traversing the field in a very singular manner ; they prepared their guns accordingly, and in a short time the light made a sudden stop, when three or four men, whom they had not descried, making their appear ance, they weae secured in the act of drawing a large net up to the light upon the head of the setter, as before-mentioned. —Mayer. We are sorry to record another accident on the Severn. The brig Ann, of Sunderland, laden with salt, being suddenly becalmed on Monday last, unavoidably drifted on the Count Rocks, and received some damage. She has since been taken to Slime Road, and part of the cargo delivered into barges; the remainder has been spoiled by a leak. The ex tor.4llTertteutr,of damage is not yet known, but there is reason to hope it ' . 4. . ILni ik=vtry considerable. -C,A4', - • ' =-.1 e 'y is also very satisfactory. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 2, 1834. An express from Lisbon has just been received in the City, announcing the death of Don PEDRO, Re gent of Portugal. The ex-Emperor expired at twelve o'clock, on the night of the 21st ultimo. The QUEEN has appointed the new Cabinet. PALMELLA is Prime Minister; the Duke of TERCEIRA Minister of War ; CARVALLO Minister of Finance; and VILLA REAL Minister of Foreign Affairs. The news from Madrid We have received by express the Paris Papers of Tuesday, which contain intelligence from Madrid up to the 25th of September. The debate in the Chamber of Procuradores on the reports of the majority and minority of the Finance Committee, terminated, as was reported in our extracts of yesterday from the Spanish Papers, by the rejection of the report of the majority ; which by a skilful manoeuvre on the part of Ministers, has re-introduced ToßENo's plan, the first article of which has been adopted by the Chamber. This is excellent so far, as by this article the whole of the foreign debt is at once recognized as the debt of the State. The only thing now wanted is, that the Chamber would end their discussions on the debt here, and henceforth give their attention to the most effectual means of discharging it. But this they appear by no means inclined to do, and hence there is more than a probability that Spain may still enter into a compromise with the public creditor on the ground of inability to meet the demands of which she admits the entire justice. Now this, we contend, will be an act of flagrant injustice if done prior to any attempt to ascertain . the value of the property at pre sent at the disposal of the State. So long as the church and crown possessions are left untouched, the foreigner has just cause to feel incensed against those who would advocate the expediency of dispensing with good faith : and his cause for complaint is heightened a thousand-fold, when he remembers that Count To- RENO declared against the disposal of church property at present, alleging that it was to be held sacred to the liquidation of the home debt, or in other words to the payment of whatever sums Spain owes to herself. But if the members of the Spanish Cabinet are of opinion that the first act of Spanish justice—honour, and gratitude—is due to the Spanish creditor, why not even enact that the surplus, if any, shall go to meet the demands of the foreigner who was so foolishly confiding as to take a nation's bond for his money ? Even this would be better than to devote the whole of a fund whose value has not been ascertained to the liquidation of one debt, and then insult the world with idle cant about poverty, in ability, and a variety of other excuses which would not be listened to for a mo ment in a commen bankruptcy court. The vote of the Chamber, however, had the effect of raising the price of the Spanish Stock in Paris. Even the Gueb hard loan closed at 26 on the Bourse on Saturday. There is a dearth of domestic news in Paris, as well as with ourselves. The monied interest has suffered some annoyance, and a considerable loss by the failure of three commission houses, in which a great deal of business was transacted. Their debts are said to ex ceed three millionS of francs. The Press continues to be honoured with the watch ful scrutiny of Lours PHILIPPE and his satellites. On Monday last, the Quotidienne was seized, in conse quence, it is supposed, of an article which appeared in the paper of that day, recording the anniversary of the majority of the Duke de BORDEAUX in language not the most agreeable to the citizen King. Why this extreme sen sibility on the part of the French Government ? Is there, indeed, so much to be dreaded from the free ex pression of public opinion, that a Government feels itself warranted in adopting such a system of ruinous espionage ? If so, the sooner France addresses her KING in language which shall have the effect of restoring him to his natural reason the better. Powe r turns the heads of some men. The only accounts from the seat of war in Spain will be found in the extracts from the French Journals. It is one of the most remarkable signs of increasing intelligence—one of the most cheering instances of the progress of knowledge among the people—that no act of tyranny can be perpetrated, no abuse of power made public, no system of oppression acted upon, without calling forth the abhorrence—the indignation of the community. No matter under what sanction the evil system is continued, or by what authority it is enforced, the nation claims and exercises a right, hitherto unknown, of condemning the one, and directing the other. Power may wrest the laws, but the same power only awakes the zealous scrutiny of public opinion, which in the end is sure to raise the sword and poise the scales of Justice. This is no fiction, though there is a large portion of the public press labouring under that impression, or who at least would persuade the world of the little influence of public opinion in the direction of public affairs. And yet the number of years is very few since the flogging of a common soldier would not have at tracted notice five paces outside a barrack-yard. Even ' in the recollection of many men now living, the public would be judged mad—a fit subject for a strait waist coat—did it dare to censure an act of Drumhead autho rity which would hand over half the privates in a regi ment to be lashed to death by their companions in arms. But, thank Heaven 1 such a time is past ; and the ty ranny attendant on it can never again be revived in England. The spirit of despotism is no more—we are a free nation—and as a proof of our fitness for free dom, our sympathies—our regard for the interests of every member of the human family—our watchfulness, and resentment of any species of wrong, keep pace with our liberties. The veil with which tyranny screened its atrocities we have torn from the face of power—we want more than mere expediency to palliate oppression—more than the solution of a difficulty to sanction or even suffer brutality. We are truly gratified to observe these signs of public improvement—of general interest in the administration of justice—so strongly manifested as they now appear to be in the case of Pri vate HUTCHINSON, who underwent a second trial of court-martial on Friday last, at St. George's Barracks, Charing-cross, for desertion. This poor fellow, whose dreadful flogging for raising his hand to a drunken sergeant, who only a few days afterwards figured as an infamous ruffian in a Police-office, was on Thursday last, brought before Colonel Bo- WATER, charged with deserting from his Regi ment, and running away with his boots, the part of his regimental garb of which he had not divested himself, prior to his desertion. The unfortunate man, on being brought before a Magistrate, stated that he was so miserable, after coming out of the hospital, in consequence of the reproaches cast upon him by his companions, that he was obliged to desert, to escape the torture which he suffered. He had only been nineteen days absent when he volun tarily surrendered himself at Windsor. As to the misery which the poor man endured, we cannot doubt its intensity ; nor do we know how it was possible for him ever to raise his head in the presence of an Officer by whom he had been dis graced. When brought up for trial a second time, HUTCHINSON protested against the proceedings, on account of the shortness of the notice he had received, and likewise because of the absence of a material witness—a sergeant of the company.lThese objections were overruled by the Court in a way by no means cre ditable to the officers composing it, and the culprit was a second time found guilty. The minutes of the Court were sent to the War-office, from whence we believe no answer has yet been returned. We trust, as the matter is now in the hands of the Government, that mercy will be shown to a man whose crime, though a breach of military dis cipline, is certainly far from being tinged with depravity of heart, or abandonment of principle. The country is not an unobservant specator of this case, and will take particular notice of how it will terminate. The Sheffield Iris, alluding to the approaching fes tivities at Wentworth Castle, says, " the preparations are on the most magnificent and extended scale. All that a luxurious banquet, exquisite music, decoration, and festive splendour can furnish, will be exhibited. Amongst the distinguished individuals invited from this town are the borough Members, and the beneficed clergy. The latter body have declined being present. One of them, however, could not let the opportunity pass, without sermonising his Lordship on the sin and wickedness of such anti-Christian doings, which pro duced a spirited reply from Earl FITZWILLIAM. Several editions of the correspondence are in circula tion." We would give much to see this " corres pondence." It must be a treat in its way, as rare as Panurge's speech, over his cups, in praise of temperance. , No doubt the " beneficed clergy man" is sincere in his virtuous exhortations to Earl FITZWILLIANI ! No doubt he sets an ex ample, in himself, of consummate abstinence ; shrinks with a holy horror from a second course ; tastes the flavour of sulphur and brimstone in Champagne or Burgundy ; and sees Antichrist himself lurking in the disguise of turtle l How scandalous, then, in Earl I'ITZWILLIAM not to attend to the warnings of such a monitor T. He must know—none better !—that beneficed clergymen have at all times been remarkable for their Apostolic contempt for the good things of this life ; and we can only, therefore, account for his contumacy by supposing that it is an instigation of the Evil One. Thus regarding it, we cannot but shudder at the awful results that are likely to flow from it. Feasting is infectious, and Wentworth Castle having led the way, who knows but that Howard Castle, Mulgrave Castle,and indeed all the Castles in that dinner-demoralized quarter of the kingdom, may follow in the same anti-Christian track ? Pos sibly even less illustrious domiciles may catch the contagion, and thus we shall have a flood of fes tive iniquity overspreading the north from one extre mity to the other. We protest, we repeat, our hearts swoon within us at the contemplation of such horrors. Like the beneficed Clergyman, we see in them the root of all sin, and agree with him, that cook is Antichrist, and starvation sanctity. A plan is in embryo at Brighton for the establish ment of an institution for educating the daughters of poor clergymen as governesses. It is proposed to receive 100 pupils, the daughters of poor clergymen, to be clothed, boarded, and educated as governesses , at a charge of 201. per annum to each pupil. Similar institutions have succeeded in Westmorland and Gloucestershire, and we have no doubt that it will meet with that encouragement in this town which its importance requires. On Sunday morning, the Rev. Dr. Everard, one of her Majesty's Chaplains, preached a sermon at St. Andrew's Chapel in aid of the funds. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1834. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Mrs. Mary Barnes, the woman who has been remanded on two former occasions for extensive swindling, was this morning brought before Sir F. ROE, when several charges of robbery made against her, so that she now stands a very fair chance of being sent to that country to which our readers may recollect she was mainly instrumental in send ing her two sons, at the late Maidstone Assizes, for a rob bery at Gravesend. Mrs. Underwood deposed that she and her husband, who was an upholsterer, about three weeks ago, re sided in the house of a Mrs. Wilkens, at No. 20, Wellington-place, Lambeth. The prisoner was a lodger in the same house. One evening she had occasion to go out, and, as she expected her husband home in the mean time, she left the key in the door, so that he might get in. She had been gone about two hours ; and on her return found the door locked and the key gone. She got in by opening the door with one of her landlady's keys, and then found that her drawers and boxes had been opened, and a vast quantity of wearing apparel, and other property, was taken away. The prisoner's rooms were opposite to her own ; and on making repeated inquiries for her, it was found that she bad disappered. The property now pro duced, consisting of a silk umbrella, a boa, two pairs, of trowsers, a vest, a shawl, a silk dress, and various other things, was the property of her husband. There was a silver watch lost on the same occasion. It was produced by a pawnbroker. Pollee constable F. 153, took the prisoner into custody at the Golden Cross, Charing Cross, where she had en gaged a bed. The boxes in which the property produced was found, she acknowledged as her property. An apprentice to T. Wood, pawnbroker, produced a watch identified by Mr. Underwood. He could not identify prisoner as the person who pledged it, but the duplicate found in her box was that given when it was pledged. The prisoner, who is a middle-aged woman, had a solici tor in attendance ; she said nothing in her defence, and was fully committed upon the charge, and the parties bound over to prosecute. Several other cases were gone into, and upon two more the evidence was considered complete, so she was also corn. mitted upon them. The office was crowded with her victims, but as these were more serious charges, those for swindling were not gone into. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY. (FROM LLOYD'S.) DEAL OCT. I.—Wind S.

FROM BARBADOES.—By the schooner Hope, arrived at Alex andria from Barbadoes, whence she sailed on the 7th August, it appears that up to that period the negroes were working cheerfully, and are as quiet and submissive as ever they were. There is every prospect of a good crop next year. The express from Paris this morning is void of interest, with the exception of several large failures at Paris in the commer cial world. THE FUNDS. We noticed yesterday, in our city article, the failure of a person of great trust in the city, which is confirmed this morn ing, and his name made public (Mr. Raikes, the Bank Direc tor), which has caused some sensation in the city, and it is feared will cause some alarm in the country and on the Con tinent, until the present Bank Directors call a Committee to investigate the affair, and acquaint the public with the result ; but up to the present hour we may add that this unexpected event has not had any effect on the Funds. Consols opened as they left off yesterday, 901 for the Ac count, with little doing. Spanish, not so good as they left off, opened at 53 to I, are at present 538 ; Portuguese, 808 An express has arrived from Madrid with accounts of the death of Don Pedro on the 21st ult, at twelve o'clock at night. Palmella is appointed Prime Minister ; the Duke of Terceira, Minister of War; Carvalho, Minister of Financel; and Villa Real, Minister of Foreign Affairs. The accounts from Ma drid are also favourable. HALF-PAST ONE.

WORCESTER, SEPT. 24.—About 2,000 pockets were brought to market on the fair day. Generally the qua lity was good, but in many instances the planters had com mitted the common error of picking them too soon, or hurry ing them too much in the kiln. There was throughout the day a contest between the dealers and planters as to prices, and they differed so widely, that at the close of the market only 386 pockets were sold, at an average of 5/. to 61. 10s. ; prime a trifle higher. On the following day there was a better understanding between the parties, and 1,610 pockets were sold, at prices varying from 51. ss. to 61. 10. ; and 61. 15s. was given for some of the primest lots. Picking will soon be concluded ; the result will generally be satisfactory to the planteri, though the prices do not range so high as they ex pected. Our duty is at 13,C00/. DUNCANNON RACES.—We have seen a letter from East Passage, stating that arrangements are being made which will give unusual interest to the races, which will com mence at Duncannon at Friday next. Mr. Waddy, M.P., has signified his intention of attending on Saturday, whose recep tion by the patriotic people of that district will be commensu rate with their love of the political principles advocated by the honourable and patriotic gentleman.—Wexford Independent. EXTENSIVE FlRE.—About eight o'clock on Satur day night last, a fire broke out on the premises of Messrs. Fry, Ferris, Brown, and Co. chemists and druggists, Union street, Bristol. The engines arrived in about twenty minutes, but the supply of water was at first scanty ; after some time, however, water was brought in tolerable abundance, but notwith standing the exertions of the firemen, the whole of the pre mises, as well as the adjoining house, fell a prey to the devouring element. A swarm of bees alighted on the person of Mr. Stocker, boatswain of his Majesty's ship Stag, last week, as he was standing on the bowsprit of that ship attending to his duties. The Stag Is lying in Hamoaze. He was stung very severely.—Exeter Paper. DUNTOCHER.—ChoIera has broken out with great virulence at Duntocher and Glenhead, parish of Kilpatrick, and several deaths have occurred. On Saturday last Mr. M'Coll, a respectable farmer at Erskine ferry, went to the above village to sell potatoes, and, knowing that cholera raged with virulence among the inhabitants, was particularly cautious in his communications with them ; but all was in vain; he was seized with the dreadful ma l a d y a f ew h ours a f ter h e reached home, and but a few other hours elapsed ere he was numbered with the dead.--Edinburgh Evening Courant. How TO " PAY" THE PIPER.--A strolling piper arrived a few weeks ago at Jedburgh, and is said to be the scion of some noble house, playing for a great wager; but be that as it may, the good peopl e o f th e b urg h h ave b e en highly am used with his eccentricities. He has taken up his abode at the Black Bull Inn, from whence he issues during the day, and amuses the auld wives and bonny lasses with blowing on his chanter, and in the evening his levee is wcll attended by the knowing ones of the town, who are elated with the idea of holding familiar conversation with the heir of one of our High land Chiefs. Whether he be really what is alleged or not, we cannot say ; but it is said he acts with great economy, and husbands well the " baubees " that are put into his philibeg. According to another account ho is, on the contrary, very lavish in his expenditure, and on this fact it is that the people rest their opinion of his being a man of wealth and rank.— [There has been lately rather more than enough of this species of humbug, rnd perhaps the best mode of dealing with all such scions of nobles' houses in future would be to commit them to the house of correction as rogues and vagabonds. ]—.Kelso Mail. MAGAZINES.-(CONTINVED.) BLACKWOOD'S, Blackwood is dead—and in his death the literary world has to mourn the loss of a sincere and liberal friend. He had identified himself with literature, was imbued with its spirit, and, though to make money might be his chief object, as it necessarily is of every tradesman, yet there was nothing mean or sordid in the manner of his traffic. He knew well that litera ture had a value independent of its market price, and, as far as we know from the world's transactions with him, he was not only just, but generous. The present number of the Magazine is powerful,. as usual, in the more serious articles, but the lighter papers are less brilliant than their predecessors. The " Cruise of the Midge," too, strongly resembles " Tom Crin gle's Log Book," while' we miss the raciness and quaint fancies of the whimsical Mr. Thomas. "My Cousin Nicholas" halts a little ; and the " Nights at Mess" are, for once, more odd than humourous. But the political department, we must allow, is conducted with no common ability, opposed as we are, heart and soul, to its principles, and indignant, as we are often inclined to feel, at its ferocious intolerance. And even this intolerant spirit has its kindlier moments, when Christopher, relaxing his broad wrinkles, throws open both door and window to the light of genius, indifferent as to whether it comes from East or West, and basks himself cheerily in its warmth. Then it is that the old man's heart seems to melt, and he holds out his right hand even to his enemies ; and who would not gladly ac cept the proffered grasp of Christopher North, though the chances are that he lays his crutch across your pate the next moment, especially if you happen to be a Whig ? At such times—not exactly when he is using his crutch—the Magazine is delightful read ing, of which we have au excellent specimen in, Mirabeau's Memoirs, in the number now lying before us. These memoirs are compiled from notices and letters written by Mirabeau himself, by his father, and his uncle, preceded by an interesting account from the pen of Mirabeau on his remote ancestors. The deadly hatred of the father for his extraordinary son, commencing with childhood and ending only with his own death, we would fain persuade ourselves, is a solitary page in the history of human life. Yet even this conviction fails to reconcile our minds to such facts as these :—" Before this period (Mirabeau was then only seven years old); the severity of his fa ther towards him began ; we find him on all occasions urging his tutor to harshness and rigour." " The severity of his father always went on increasing. Not finding rigour enough in private tutors, he sent his son to a school, but refused to let him bear his name." " He (the father) had, when his son was not sixteen years of age, formed the project of banishing him for ever from Europe." His excesses, when in the army, occasioned a lettre de cachet to be issued against him, and his father, the promoter of it, " whose letters against him always breathe the most implacable hatred and rage, wrote to the Governor to enforce every se verity in his power." But in the course of time the vic tim is released—no thanks to the paternal lenity—when " his father out of his love of power and despotism re fused him any suitable provision." " The expensive habits of Mirabeau soon involved him in debts and difficulties ; these his father-in-law would have ex tricated him from, but his father refused his security for the final re-payment of the sum to be advanced. Mirabeau, there fore, retired into the country, but only to encounter new per secutions from his father. Under the pretence that his son was ruining the patrimonial property, (which was proved after wards to be false,) he has him banishad by a lettre de cachet to the little town of Monarque ; from thence, under the pretext that lie had transgressed the bounds assigned him, he was transferred to the narrower confinement of the chateau D' If, and his father wrote to the governor to impose upon him every kind of restraint, calumniating his son with the utmost ferocity, and painting - him in the blackest colours." Oppression ever makes men villains, and this maxim, so general in its aOplication as seldom to have met with an exception, was not contradicted by the results in the case of Mirabeau. A prisoner at the instigation of his father, deserted by his wife, he now contracted a liaison with Sophia, the wife of an old man of seventy. He was alone, all his natural friends had, by the strange influence his father held over them, be come his enemies and calumniators : can we then won der at, though we may regret, this unhappy event, which unfortunately is too common to call down parti cular vengeance upon the perpetrator ? The tender parent does neither one nor the other, neither wonders, nor regrets, but on the contrary is delighted at an act which he expects will consummate the ruin of his son, and he takes especial care it shall remain no secret to the world at large. It is thus the hoary ruffian expresses himself, and we consider the epithet, strong as it is, too feeble when applied to . such infamous cruelty : " I reproach not myself, I assure you, for his removal from the chateau D'lf to the chateaux de Joux. If he had remained at the chateaux D'lf, with the attestations of that fool Dal legre, (the governor,) he would be there still crying out against injustice, and would not have been able to ruin himself, as he has done, and which is the salvation of his family." Who, on reading this, and the subsequent persecu tion which condemned the son to the scaffold, will not agree with the able critic, that to this first offence, dark indeed, but not unpardonable, " he had to a great extent been impelled and exasperated by a stern do mestic despotism almost without parallel ? " or who will deny the admirable remarks that follow ? " But this father, or rather this lord and master—for all the other relations of life seem to 'have been absorbed in the senti ment of personal authority, with which the feudal system gra tified Grandees—absolutely sported in his acts of despotism. M. de Moupezat one day meeting him, the following conver sation took place, as related by himself :—" Your law suite with Madame the Marchioness, is it finished ?"—" I have gained it."—" And where is she ?"—" In a convent,"—" And Monsieur your son, where is he "—" In a convent."—" And Madame your daughter ?"—" In a convent."—" You have undertaken, then, to people the convents ?"--" Yes, sir ; and ifyou had been my son, you would have been in one long ago." It would be too painful a task to follow up all the atro cities of this incarnate fiend, in whose depraved and cal lous heart the most intense selfishness, the most reckless vanity, and a malignant love of torturing, were predominant above all other passions. The ob ject of these Memoirs is undoubtedly to exculpate Mi rabeau from the calumnies which have been heaped upon him, in the first place, by his parent, and disse minated afterwards by political hostility. And this they have done. They have clearly shown that many of the charges made against him were false, and that much of the crime which may be fairly imputed to him, was caused by a system of unrelenting cruelty. But they have done more than this. They have proved what is of infinitely gieater importance in a public point of view, that the Revolution was an absolute necessity, and that despotism not only sat upon the throne, sub duing the people with a sceptre of iron, but had also stolen into the bosom of families, severed all the do mestic charities, and made of the social home a Hall of Eblis, wherein the unhappy inmates wandered about in eternity of torture. We repeat it, this tre mendous convulsion was an absolute necessity, and, dreadful as it was, fearfully as its memory shakes us, even at this distant hour, it swept away a state of things that was ten times more intolerable. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Mr. Bailey, of Parndon, having again presented the members of the West Essex Yeomanry Cavalry with a fat buck, the corps will have a field day on Thursday, the 9th of October, at Waltham Abbey, and dine together afterwards at the Cock Inn. Mr. Bailey was for many years an officer in Colonel Burgoyne's corps of Yeomanry Cavalry, and remained so until the corps was disbanded by Lord Lansdowne. THE SCOTTISH WOODS BY4ON DAY. • • The ancient Caledonian forests is a subject of deer and just regret in many ways. Nothing appears more inexplicable in th e eyes of the Vulgar than that the barren heights whi c h have long excited a sneer from Dr. Johnson and other southern travellers should have ever been clothed in thick woods of our native timber; and the naturalist and lover of hoar antiquity is content to pa, teo! tu; per his imagination with the scanty accounts tran smit us of those distant times when the bear, wolf, end wild boar roamed .in savage freedom throug h the, great Scottish forest, while herds of wild ca ttle Ana, deer browsed upon its skirts, the capercai lzie the eagle keeping sway amid the stately oa,nP and fir trees I That the whole of that e!e; eas te . rl . vated range of country; extending . in a semicirculal sweep from Stirling to the extremity of the limit of the parish of Falkirk, was at covered with wood appears more than probable aen from its and tha t present aspect ; the famous Torwood, f. of Callendar at' Falkirk, are the evident remains ° this very extensive forest. The royal forest of Dun; daff (i. e. hill of heifers or deer) must have co'ereff"; the highlands, called still the lands o f Dun° ed the royal forest of Stirling, undoubtedly en ve i r lile the rising grounds to the south of that town, it the - extensive mosses on this part of the shire renuer.,,, probable that even the lowlands were once coverebst trees. It seems to have been the policy of our fore_ i tit fliers, as it is now the custom in America, to root i f or and remove these woods so as to fit the groi n ' ,f one period pasture or the plough. Besides the demolitiunks, the Caledonian forest, of which Xiphilinu s sPeneen, and which had its site here, there is _ a l ot a reason to ..believe that the natives, from econuw of views,. joined in after ages in stripping the o_ 2 ' l P:/by its wood. Of this a striking evidence is afra';,bour the trunks of large trees still dug up in the ,hich ing mosses, and sold in the markets for matches, v . f i ri have often the mark of the hatchet or ile.--SP" - - Magazine. A DREAM VERIFIED. ve Bls Many of our readers will recollect, that a 1 ,; 0 09 ago, a gentleman of respectable family and eon" e ; c- t he in this county, was unfortunately drowned,: n f r ora Caledonian Canal, after just landing on its Wm: fe m ale a lasgo vessel.
