It is a characteristic feature of our corrupt system, that it ruins the reputation of all our listinguished Statesmen. Perhaps with the single exception of the Marquis of Rocking. ham, whose Ministry lasted only one year, no man of eminent talent has touched office for a century past, without contracting a moral stain. Walpole, North, Chatham, Burke, William Pitt, Canning, uskisson, are melancholy examples. What do impartial men say, or what will impartial posterity say, of Edmund Burke ? That his real sentiments are to be discovered in the speeches and acts of his early life—in those davc, when he and Fox wept over the de feats of Washington as the champion of human l.berty ; and that when broken down in his circumstances, and in despair of obtaining power, he took advantage of the excesses of the French revolution, to afford him a pretext for renouncing opinions, which stood in the way of his interest and ambition. He abandoned his principles, obtained a pension, and became the oracle of the Ministers, and the idol of the Aristocracy. We venerate the genius and the patriotic labours of Burke, but this we believe to be the undisguised truth. _ William Pitt commenced his career as an ardent Reformer. Ambition was the master feeling of his soul ; and he soon found that with such opinions he either could not be a Mi nister, or that his power could never be secure. The French Revolution, with its wild anarchy, came opportunely to cover the desertion of early principle, which was already in effect com mitted. He was perfectly sincere, and would have been delighted to have power and Reform together ; but he found them incompatible ; and preferred power resting on , corruption to a n u navailing struggle, like l'urke s, in the people's cause. Read " Moore's Life of Sheridan ;" look at Mr. Canning's early bias towards republican doctrines, pointed out there and elsewhere ; com pare this with his breach with the Holy Allies, and the sudden change in our foreign policy after the death of Castlereagh, and with the re markable threat of preaching revolutionary prin ciples, which he suspended over the heads of the continental Princes : these, and a thousand other traits in his political life, are clear proofs to us, that George Canning in his heart was thoroughly liberal ; that the stirrings of ambition and the necessities of his early life, had made him compromise with a corrupt system which his unprejudiced feelings condemned ; that, in fine, he had lent his talents to gild its baseness, and was too deeply committed to appear as a Reformer without an entire forfeiture of charac er. This we believe to be the true key to the tinconsistencies of Mr. Canning's political life. Mr. Huskisson's was, in the first part of his career, a Whig or Republican ; in the second, a salaried defender of the " wisdom of our an cestors ;" and when near the close of his days, he was thrust out of power, a sagacious reader of his speeches might discover the skirts and lappets of his old Republican tunic peeping out from under the more modish garb which he had worn in middle life. But his career was so si milar to Mr. Canning's, that details are unne- cessary. We might dwell on the particulars of the Earl of Chatham's life, who, when in power, profited all he could by the corruption which he had declaimed against in opposition. Even the Whigs of 1806, though they retired from office with the dignity of martyrs, did not entirely escape contamination ; they were accused of per mitting some jobs, and of doing little, and in tending little, in favour of the people's cause. The fact is, that in order to effect some good, they found it necessary to compromise with many gross abuses, and to work with the im pure tools which their predecessors had pre pared to their hands. What then, will be the judgment of impar• tial posterity as to Burke, Pitt, Canning, and Huskisson ? That they were all men of power ful minds, who loved liberty, and would have been happy to be Ministers under such a sys tem as the new Bill will confer upon us ; b ut finding corruption too strong for them, they stifled their convictions, deserted their principles, and became the advocates of a system which they detested in their hearts. Their feelings and their understanding were in the right, b u t their virtue was not firm enough to make the sacrifices which freedom then entailed o n h er supporters. This is our sincere opinion ; and if it be correct are we not warranted to say, that our corrupt system has proved a snare to the conscience, and ruined the reputation of our public men ? Will it be said that the memory of these men suffers, and will suffer, merely because they were party leaders? We deny it ; and we appeal to the fate of Washington, Jefferson, Maddison, and Monroe. These Statesmen were even more furiously and rancorously libelled duringtheir offi cial existence than any of the British Ministers we have named ; but how different is their ultimate reputation ! We need not refer to future times ; for public opinion has already pronounced on the merits of the American Statesmen. Those still living who were their bitterest enemies, now confess that though they sometimes erred in judgment, their hearts were sound ; that they never suppressed their genuine opinions, or sought wealth and office at the expence of principle, that their virtue as moral agents is un sullied, and their fame as patriots without a cloud ! Perhaps they were not much better men, (Washington always excepted) ; but human virtue is a thing of degrees, and it was their happiness to live under a system which spread no temptations in their path—which permitted te.eo a 'Minist er t o b e an h one st man.

Luckily for himself, he cast off this moral excrescence at the very nick of time to save his character from ruin. But now comes Reform, and Sir Robert must make another sacrifice, or have his political re putation consigned to the tomb of the Capulets. It' the question were to be hung up for twenty years, it would be easy to string together common places about the " wisdom of our ancestors," and the peril of " untried theories," which might pass for profound wisdom with such assemblies as Sir Robert has been accustomed to address ; hut when Reform is actually carried, and seen in operation, dispensing the blessings of peace, con tentment, secur►ty, and fostering habits of good order, increased industry, and improved mora lity, this miserable sophistry will be entirely out of date. " Its name, its nature, withered from the world !" A belief in the virtue of rotten burghs and sham elections, will then sit as ridiculously on a statesman, as a belief in witchcraft at this day. Weak men will wonder at their past delusions ; and cunning men will lay aside, " the wisdom of our ancestors," and take to some other topic better fitted to supply materials for deception. Sir Robert's position as regards Reform, was in some measure fortunate. lie had never broadly declared himself till the Bill was brought in. But literte scriptie manent, and it stands on record, that Sir Robert, in an unguarded hour, called the Bill a revolu tion, a new constitution, and many other hart names ! If he abide by this way of think ing, in one year he must be laid on the shelf as a statesman. He might with equal safety become the champion of witchcraft and judicial astro ►ogy, or choose to walk abroad daily in the monstrous wig and slashed breeches of Queen Elizabeth's days. Our sagacious friend of the Morning Chronicle, thinks that Sir Robert al ready sees the wisdom of preparing for the coming change. He has been entertaining the three hundred scot and lot men in his burgh of Tamworth, and his speeches on the occasion rather smack of a disposition to compromise with what he no doubt discovers to be the irresist able progress of events. When the health of his brother Mr. William Peel, the new repre sentative for Cambridge, was given, Sir Robert had a fair opportunity of blazoning his hostility to the Reform Bill ; but not one violent word passed his lips. On the contrary, he was all moderation. He said, he (Sir It.) had never been the decided supporter of any band of par tisans, but had always thought it much better to look steadily at the political circumstances of the times in which they lived ; and if necessities were so pressing as to demand it, there was no dishonour or discredit in relinquishing opinions or measures, and adopting others more suited to the altered circumstances of the country. For this course of proceeding he had been censured by opposite parties ; by those who, upon all oc casions, thought no changes were required, as well as those who, in his opinion, were the ad vocz.tes of too violent and sudden innovations." " He held it to he impossible for any Statesman to adopt one fixed line of policy under all cir cumstances ; and the only question with him, when he departed from that line, should be, am I actuated by any interested or sinister motive ; or d o I consider the measures I contemplate called for by the circumstances and necessities of the country ?" THE MURDER NEAR ROCHESTER. — last w ee k g a ve a detail of the examination respecting this horrid deed up to Monday evening. On Tuesday the examination was resumed. JAMES BELL, the brother of the accused, aged ten years, was examined, and stated, that knowing what the deceased was going to Aylesford for, they determined to murder him. This intention they were about to carry into effect several times, hut were frustrated. At last it was completed by JOHN BELL alone, and the younger lad returned home, and afterwards re ceived Is. 6d. of the money. The examination being con cluded, the elder boy, JOHN ANT Bran BELL, aged four teen, w as fully committed for trial for the murder, and his brother J A mEs was committed as a material witness, con ditionally admitted on the part of the Crown. They were taken to Maidstone gaol on Wednesday. On the journey, the prisoner JOHN pointed out to the officer the pool where he had washed his hands after committing. the crime, and also pointed out the opening leading to the spot, sayi n g ,‘ That's the spot where I killed the poor boy. He's better off than me ; don't you think he is, Sir ?" He s a id, that when he and deceased went into the wood, he told him that he load lost himself; on which deceased said he t iid not know his way out, and laid himself down, and began to cry. BELL immediately sprang at him, and cut his throat, and with some difficulty took the bag con taining the money from his hand. The bag contained three half-crowns, one shilling, and sixpence. BELL said he knew he should be hanged, and wished his brother might see him executed, as a warning to him. He also said the knife and glove would be found in the deceased's pocket, if the body was taken up ; where they were found, as stated in our last. His confession was spontaneous ' and, as he said, from a desiec to Le on the truth, knowing that he must suffer ; that he had no occasion for ireas as he had no wish to escape justice. —Maidstone Jcarnar pleasure in directing the NEW COACH FROM CHELTENHAM TO attention of our readers to an advertisement, an nouncing the intention of Mr. NEYLER and several ex tensive coach proprietors, to start a new coach (not in aftiaihprnepttrernol hpaoirynirat in appropriately r it s on t dw y t n e : d f tfoo / Lr fi tieve i e r nr o p n oh d oo e l :e s ) .a n from dT he incredible a the rt ng P e as m l o arrangements sppeP.r, the whole journey will be performed in LIVERPOOL. —We t c o h character fine, cntei;h should sthaege not ,o a t r e o ro n . l , y e Seven miles each, the conveyance, and wi s . a le fet t la c r o e a o ci f lm th a e ne m ewin o i s; fpoleoyeed nsu t r o in w g o s r p k ee t d h , t: h ' e et e tt x y ac pic h ked cattle will b c h an ged during the journey,. a structions.

If the English or the French Governments were capable of taking clear moral and econo mical views of the advantage of rromoting rapi dity and certainty in the communication of in telligence, they would facilitate the establishment of telegraphs, open as the post, to the free use of the public. The jealousy which exists against the use of such instruments by the public, and the obstructions to the inter-commu nication of intelligence, between one State and another, strongly mark the ignorance and the narrow views of most existing Governments. We might adduce many examples which oc curred in the course of the last twelve months, during the insurrections and troubles on the Continent, of the gratuitous mischief occasioned by the want of certain and rapid information of the events as they occurred. Governments are unable to prevent the communication of intel ligence respecting any events of considerable magnitude, for such intelligence will escape in spite of their utmost exertions : but it breaks forth in rumours, in misstatements, and exag gerations of every kind : and it is only after a considerable lapse of time that certainty or au thenticity is obtained. During this time, distant markets are paralyzed, manufacturers dare not proceed, in the prevalent uncertainty, and the operations of commerce are suspended. Some times a number of houses obtain information which each believes to be in its exclusive pos- session. Each consequently enters into specu lations mutually injurious. Ten houses will glut the market with nine times more goods than are required ; or one large house, which happens to be best circumstanced for receiving informa- tion, makes an immense profit, to the ruin o others. In short, it is the uncertainty and de. ficiency of information which sustains the greater portion of the gambling prevalent in the commercial markets. This immorality is therefore the result of misgovernment. The French Go vermnent of doctrinaires prohibits the establish. ment of commercial telegraphs, in order that it may enjoy the monopoly of rapid intelligence. But a Government might allow the telegraph to be made use of by private individuals, and re sume the monopoly as it found occasion. It is only on very extraordinary occasions that the monopoly can he of any use to Government. In England there is nothing to prevent the establish. m ent of telegraphs by private individuals, and they would often be of great service for other than commercial purp(Yes. As for example : the communication of information to the out ports of the flight of an offender ; the occurrence of a calamity which required prompt action in persons at a distance ; and many events of daily occurrence in the metropolis. Some time ago efforts were made in London to establish a commercial telegraph along the line from London to Liverpool, but they failed, —we do not know from what cause. Within these few days, a gentleman (M. Ferrier de Courettes) has arrived in the metropolis from Paris, with the view of obtaining the adoption of a system of nocturnal telegraphs. It is stated to us, by persons of high respectabi lity in Paris, who have had opportunities of examining his invention, that he has produced very important improvements in the mode of working telegraphs. The chief improvement 1 , a new and much more simple alphabet, or set of signs, by which greater rapidity is obtained. His nocturnal telegraph consists of one lamp fixed on the top of a post, to be erected at the proper elevation. Round this fixed lamp another lamp is made to revolve at the end of a moveable beam. A sufficient number of distinct positions may be thus obtained with rapidity. It is stated to us that a nocturnal telegraph of this descrip tion will (during average weather) work much better than a diurnal telegraph, and that the nocturnal stations might (were it not expedient to use them by day as well as by night) be fixed at double the distance. The distance between one station and another of a diurnal tele graph, is usually eight or ten miles, according to circumstances, but a nocturnal telegraph may be at intervals of eighteen miles. The first outlay of capital, for the establishment of such a tele graph, to serve both for night and day, in France, is calculated at about 80L for each station. The annual cost for working it would be about the same amount. It is probable that in England the annual expense would be somewhat higher. We trust that this invention will obtain serious attention, and receive the encouragement which it may deserve, at the hands of our merchants.— Indeed, the whole subject of the communication of intelligence by post and otherwise, the stupid overtaxation, and monstrous extortions in our foreign post-office, and the refusal to adopt a system of reciprocity with foreign Governments, ought immediately to be submitted to Parliatnen ary inquiry.—Examiner. THE FRENCH REVOLUTION AND THEBUR atisE BASSA DOR. —A grand ball and supper were given at the Town-hall,Calcutta, on the sth of January, in com memoration of the late glorious French Revolution. The party exceeded eight hundred in number, among whom were Sir CHARLES METCALF, Mr. BLUNT, and all the fashionables of Calcutta. The Burmese Ambassador, at tended by Lieutenant BURNEY, was also present. After supper Sir JOHN HAYES, the President, gave " The health of his MAJESZY King WILLIAM the Fourth," and this was followed by other toasts of " The French nation" —" Louis PufurrE the First, King of the French"— " The Ladies of France and England," with appropriate speeches; and the party did not finally separate until after the morning-gun had fired.—East India Magazine. SWANAGE, DORSET, JUNE I.—On Friday last a party of more than 90 persona sat down to an ex cellent dinner, at the Ship inn, in this place, to celebrate the conquest gained over Toryism in the recent election of our two county members ; it cannot be passed over in silence, or remain unnoticed, that the zeal and strenuous efforts of the people of this place, in conjunction with out neighbouring village of Worth, have been unceasing in the popular and good cause of our KING and country, and it is not within the limits of our recollection to have witnessen a party more congenial in sentiment, or more determined in the cause they have so warmly advocated. Several gentlemen addressed the meeting at considerable length, with much eloquence ; many appropriate toasts and senti ments were drank, and several songs introduced by diff,- rent gentlemen. The party did not separate till a late hour, highly pleased with the great attention paid to their comforts. (From the Englishman's Magazine for June.) It has recently been shown, and deeply lamented,. by Mr. Babbage, Mr. Herschel, and others of nu r most eminent writers, that England now ranks con siderably below the nations of the Continent in the difficult and abstract sciences, and in several of the highest departments of knowle4e. Many more reasons than we can at prennt notice, have been as. signed for the fact, but among the principal are the flagrant mismanagement of sundry public institutions, Ind the remarkable apathy of the Government to the great cause of literature, and to the encourage ment of its most successful and assiduous cultiva tors. Of the culpable remissness to which we refer, we have a singular instance to relate, which, if it do not move the indignation, will, at least, we are con fident, excite the astonishment of our readers. The " Royal Society of Literature" VMS insti. • tuted in 1824., under the patronage of the late King, assisted by the zealous exertions of the learned Bishop of Salisbury. It consists, at present, of 245 members, each of whom, with the exception of ten Royal Associates, contributes to the general fund, sums, varying from two to ten guineas per annum, in addition to not unfrequent and liberal benefactions. The Royal Associates, on the other hand, have hitherto received one hundred guineas each from the King's annual bounty, and another hundred guineas, derived from the same source, have been applied to the purchase of medals, which have been presented, it the rate of two a-year, to the most distinguished British and Foreign Literati. Th's, be it observed in passing, with two medals placed at the disposal of he Councils of the Royal Society, and of the So ciety of Antiquaries, is all that the Crown has ever lone for the advancement of science or literature in Britain.* That in the present instance these small rewards of merit have never been indiscreetly dis posed of, the list of celebrated personages, upon whom they have heretofore been conferred, will abundantly testify. It contains the names of Mit ford, the historian of Greece, Angelo Mai, librarian of the Vatican, Major Rennell, the geographer, Wilkins, the eminent Orientalist, Professor Schwei ghmuser, Dugald Stewart, Scott, Southey, trabbe, Archdeacon Cox, W. Roscoe, and Baron Silvestre de Sacy. And justly renowned and deserving of distinction as this illustrious groupe of anthems is, it is scarcely richer in characters who have toiled their laborious way to the highest summits of fame, than the selection of individuals who now form the body of " Royal Associates." They are Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the Rev. Edward Davies, Dr. Jamieson, the indefatigable compiler of the Scottish Dic tionary, the Rev. T. R. Malthus, Mathias, author of the Pursuits of Literature, James Millingen, Esq., • Sir William Ouseley, William Roscoe, the Rev. Henry J. Todd, and Sharon Turner. It is our I piiinful duty to add, that four of the gentlemen 4 whose names we have given, and perhaps the most ;, conspicuous of the number, are actually, or in a great measure, dependent for their subsistence, on the paltry pittance which they receive from the funds of the So c iety. Think, benevolent and enlightened reader; and oh ! think of it with more than pity ! that some of those, under the influence of whose pages many of your most blessed and instructive hours have been spent, and whose career of worldly prosperity has been thwarted, not by evil propensities or luxurious indolence, but that, by the unwearied toil of their great genius and understandings, they might esta blish themselves in the memories and direct the virtues of future ages ; only think of such men, in the evening of their days, and the sterile winter of their minds, being reduced to the necessity of priz ing a wretched pension which many of your ilße rate and soulless menials would scorn ? But—shall we be believed when we state it?—intimation has actually been given, on the part of the Crown, to Mr. Coleridge and his brother Associates, that they must expect their allowance" very shortly" to cease. Such is the melancholy, and, our feelings compel us to say, most disgraceful fact. And this, too, at a time when that vile engine of corruption, the Pension List, has beelt sacredly preserved in all its entireness of political infamy, and while Lord Brougham is attempting to persuade the House of Lords to settle a retiring pension of two hundred per annum on seventy Commissioners of Bankrupt, who, according to his own account, were ei.ormonsly overpaid for services which they were generally quite incapable of performing, but whom he amiably considers entitled to a liberal remuneration, because —and pray do mark the cogency of the reason — their expectations, poor dear sensitive darlings, had been excited by their appointments, and in the joy of their hearts they had forgotten the warning voice of Malthus. We sincerely wish that his Lordship, particularly as he is the official keeper of the Royal conscience, would transfer a little of his superabun dant sympathy to the interests of literature, and prevent his patriotic Master from being uncon sciously guilty of committing an action so unworthy of the dignity of the beloved Sovereign of Britain. We use the word unconsciously with reference to his Majesty, because we are perfectly sure that he at least can personally know nothing whatever of the matter ; and we are persuaded that, if the real state of the case were but properly represented to him, his generous heart would be the first to revolt at the parsimonious proceeding of which he is about to be made the instrument. But there can be no excuse for the Chancellor if he do not immediately interfere, and hinder a miserable attempt at economy out-Humeing Hume, from being carried into effect, which he must be satisfied not one individual in the whole kingdom would either approve or seek to justify. His Lordship has now an opportunity of redeeming the pledge he gave at the last Literary Fund dinner, where he stated that he would, " at once eagerly, and joyfully, and proudly stand forward to aid the efforts of that Society in extending, in the tno-t delicate and considerate manner, assistance to those whose genius deserved admiration, and whose misfortunes demanded succour." Lord Brougham, however, seems to consider that the patronage of booksellers, and the public, affords a sufficient reward for the exertions of genius; and in the lighter departments of literature, and to some x unlucky individuals, they may, and perhaps ac tually, to a limited extent, do; but that the reverse is the fact, in the more solid and important depart ments of intellectual exertion, has long been es.ta blished beyond a doubt or dispute. 4; • • Even of the great poets of our own day, not to go father back in the history of our literature, who, we should like to know, with the single exceptions of Sir Walter Scott, Lord Byron, arid Tom Moore, has ever received any adequate pecuniary recom pense for the exercise of his talents? Seventy pounds for writing in an Annual, is the sum total, we believe, that Mr. Wordsworth has hitherto earned by his works. We question whether Cole ridge has been fortunate enough to obtain so much ; and it is no secret among booksellers, that some of 6'oz:they's finest poems have never defrayed the mere expences of publication. We have been told, moreover, that Mr. Murray has had a long poem of Crabbe's many years in his hands, the cost of print ing which he has, up to the present moment, been deterred from hazarding. Facts such as these are worth a folio of speculative arguments, and, we ap prehend, entirely relieve us from the necessity of any farther discussion. Earl Grey once declaimed most indignantly, in his place in the House of Peers, against the unge aerousness of the Scotch towards their immortal countryman, Burns. We trust he still retains the same feelings by which he was influenced on the oc e,ision alluded to, and that he will now prevent reproach nativeswiah:itci which, a, eei landfrom iyifso::i egm:e:at ti i dio ? ey u s dsr.:r ho e g a 0 Historicaldescription eloquently Ltea Literature, ed, cnthu n cholas Harris Nicolas, Esq. 4:i 45 _ 54 - 42 - 38 4° 4_2 4 4 06 NATIONAL MONUMENT TO THE KING.

In Monthly Volumes, beautifully illustrated with Engray. ingQ, price 6s. bound, STANDARD NOVELS AND ROMANCES. The monthly publii:ation of Popular Fictions, under the above general title, has now proceeded to its fourth number, and has met with greater success than could have been anticipated by the most sanguine expectation of the Proprietors. The public at large has seized with alacrity en the opportunity thus presented of procuring editions of favourite Novels and Romances by living writers at a fifth of the cost originally charged for each work, with the additional and important advantage of the authors' own revision, illustrative Notes, and new Introductory Matter, obtained by the Proprietors at considerable cost„ and giv ing a unique character to the present impression of cele brated works, which is therefore not only the cheapest, but indisputably the best extant. But as many of the Subscribers to the Standard Novels have expressed a wish that the undertaking should not he restricted to the publication of Fictions written in any one stated limit of time, and have referred the Proprietors to their own Prospectus, issued more than a twelvemonth ago, wherein Novels of nearly every age were promised, Messrs. Colburn and Bentley have purchased the copy right of that body of English Fictions originally printed by Mr. Ballantyne, under the immediate superintendence of Sir Walter Scott, and rendered specially interesting and valuable by the copious Biographical and Critical Memoirs which that illustrious writer has prefixed to the works of each Novelist. To render, therefore, the " Standard Novels" complete as a circle of the best Stories (without restriction to any period) extant in the English language, and still snore worthy of companionship with the Wa verley Novels, the Proprietors are fortunately enabled to avail themselves of the above-mentioned publication edited by Sir Walter Scott.
