(From the Aberdeen Herald.) A meeting of the " Skene -Reading Society" was held on Monday last, for the purpose of " approving or disap proving of the Waverley Novels," as forming part of their library. r .ub meeilfig held In the Congregational Cha nel a sl .o'lackhills, which was crowded to suffocation, persons raving come from tilt neighbouring parishes of Echt and Midmar to hear the discussion. It appeared that at a for mer meeting the novels, in 48 vols. had been purchased for and added to the library, and this meeting arose out of a re quisition by a certain number of the members to assemble and consider whether these books were 'worthy of being re tained. Thdi'd were veakos on both sides— the disapproval party being led by 414 V.ev, Mr. Smith, of Blackhills, and the approval party by tlt Rev. Charles Skene, parish schoolmaster of Spies e. The argil- , ments of the first party were—that the books were full of oaths—that the character of the puritans was defamed, par ticularly in the case of Anthony Forster, who was described as a devil 1n hUnin shape—tilat the work tended to de base Christianity, to hold up worldly motives.of action, and that they were to the mind what cholera and pestilence were to the body—that they were opposed to the spiritual and eter nal interests of mankind, and that many better books had been publicly burned—that they Were fiction, and not truth—that if they were admitted, so also might the works of Bolingbroke, Voltaire, and all infidels—Haggart, and all thieves—that Sir Walter's fascinating eloquence could not atone for his went of religion and morality, no more than could the fine writings of Gibbon or Hume recommend their works—that the . Puritans and Covenanters were slighted and held up to public scorn. These, and many other arguments were used, and fervent. appeals made to the religious feelings of the audience. The Rev. Mr. Skene opened the case on the approval side in an eloquent speech. His character of Sir Walter, as a man in private life, as a Christian, and as an author, was conceived in the most appropriate and elegant terms ; and he entered also into the historical view of the question to show that the character of Anthony Forster was less co loured than it deserved—that it was only the most despe rate, wild, and fanatic part of the Puritans which Sir Walter held up to derision, and that the cause of loyalty and true religion, either as respected his recommendation of princi ples, or his delineation of character, were inculcated through out his whole works. The arguments on the approval side - were briefly—that such a meeting could not fail to throw disgrace on the district in which it was held, that persons should gather from their parishes to endeavour to throw obloquy on a name which was hallowed by the good and the learned, not of this country only, but of the whole civilized world—that, as to oaths and expressions of a like nature, it was too much to say that they denoted the stile or expressed the sentiments of the author—that in Dodd's Sayings of Dying Infidels, many horrible expressions were recorded ; and in Hannah Moore's works some words of a profane hymn were given as. a warning ; yet no one would charge Dr. Dodd or Hannah Moore with being approvers of these things—that the Spectator, the Rambler, the Vicar of Wakefield, and numerous other books in the library, were fiction ; but that such reading had a great tendency to im prove the human mind—that in every instance the characters in the novels (and Mr. Skene beautifully sketched the history of some of the dramatis persona) were re warded according to their actions—vice in all cases being signally punished. This is but a faint out line of the arguments on both sides, which hav ing been finished, and both parties seeming to remain in flexible, a member, to procure unanimity, proposed to remit the 48 vols. to a Committee to consider them, and to re port to another meeting. This seemed to please some of the objectors, but others remained immoveable ; and ulti mately a vote was taken. For the Committee, 97 ; against it, 39 ; majority, 58. A Committee of eleven was then appointed ; and thus—tell it not in Scotland—publish it not in the civilized world—are eleven of the good men of the parish of Skene to sit in judgment on the works of the master-spirit of the age—the immortal Sir Walter Scott ! !! —Gentle reader, is this the march of intellect, or the pro gress of cant ? PRINCE ESTERIIAZY.—HiS Highness has written letters to say that he intends to return to this country early in the spring. The Prince will be accompanied by his heir ap - parent, Prince Nicholas; but it is doubtful whether the Princess will again visit England. She is residing, with her youngest (laughter, the Princess Therese, a beautiful and ac complished young lady, now in her 20th year, with her mother, the Princess Dowager of Tour and Taxis (sister to the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, and of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cumberland.) Sir Frederick Lamb, on his way to Paris, paid a short visit to the Prince, at his castle of Galanthain, Hungary. The luckless confiseur of his High ness at Chandos-house was a passenger on board the ill-fated Hamburg steam-packet, the Superb. MUNICH, Nov. 20.—An affair which has caused many dissensions, and occasioned warm debates in the Assem bly of the States of 1831, namely, that of mixed marriages in Bavaria, is now settled in the most satisfactory manner, by the care of our paternal King. Ir, compliance with the wish ex pressed in an autograph letter from his Majesty, such instruc tions have been given by his Holiness the Pope to the Arch -I.)shops and Bishops at their request, that the obstacles to the celebration of mixed marriages are removed. Thus concord is restored between the three Confessions in Bavaria, and a fresh motive given to all Bavarians gratefully to acknowledge the paternal solicitude of the King.— Frankfort Paper, N0v.25. Saturday, at a meeting of the Marylebone Vestry, an animated discussion arose on the question whether a vote of thanks should be passed to Sir J. Hobhouse for throwing open a portion of the Regent's• park, in compliance with the me morial of the inhabitants. Dr. Fellowes, Mr. Edwards, and Mr. Savage supported the vote ; while Mr. Todd opposed it, on the ground that the promised boon had not as yet come into their possession Mr. Savage said he did not think any Mi nistry would be found to refuse the ratification of the King's promise. Mr. Hume alluded to his efforts to get the Park opened. Sometimes the excuse had been " The trees are too young," and sometimes " The land is let to Mr. Maberly on a long lease." He certainly thought thanks were due to Sir J. Hobhouse, and he trusted that this concession would be fol lowed by a further grant. Vote agreed to.—Adjourned. TIIE METROPOLITAN DECLARATION.—This address has been translated into the French papers, which thus spell the names attached to it : Vood, Grot6, W. Oraw ford, W. Clay, Sir Lushington, B. Havves, C. Ternyson, W. Brougham, J Hurnfrey, T Ducombe. GREAT STEEPLE-CHASE FOR £l,ooo.—The match between Lord Waterford's Cock Robin and Captain Lamb's Vivian, took place yesterday over four miles of ground' in the Market Harborough county, commencing at Mr. Wat son's farmhouse, leaving Knowsley Hall, Goadbv, and Kay thorpe to the right. and terminating at the Rains Head Cover, belonging to Lord Berners. The match was swell contested, Lord - Waterford being first over the last fence; Vivian, how ever, had the best of the concluding struggle, and won cle verly by 5 or 6 lengths ; he was ridden by Captain Beecher. ANECDOTE OF DR, JOIINSON.—The cat's taste for fish reminds us of an exquisite anecdote of dear, dogmatic, thoughtful, surly, charitable Johnson, who would go out of doors himself, and buy oysters for his cat, because his black servant was too proud to do it. Not that we condemn the black, in those enslaving, unliberating days. He had a right to the mistake, though we should have thought better of him had he subjected his pride to affection for such a master. But Johnson's true practical delicacy in the matter is beautiful. Be assured that he thought nothing of .‘ condescension" in it, or of being eccentric. He was singular in some things, be cause he could not help it. But he hated eccentricity.— _Hunt's London Journal. About seven' o'clock on Saturday morning an un expected and unwished-for visitor made his appearance, sans cm- emonie, in the gardens at the rear of a private dwelling in Manor-place, Walworth, which excited no little consternation and alarm among the occupants. Upon a female inmate of the house opening the shutters of the kitchen window, which looks directly into the garden, she was suddenly amazed at beholding a kangaroo staring her full in the face. Terrified at the appearance of this strange animal, she gave the alarm, at the noise of which the kangaroo retreated a few steps, and took his stand upon a strawberry-bed. After gazing at the affrighted girl for a few seconds, he took a leap over the adjoining gardens, and made his exit. It is Supposed that he had effected his escape fz.orn the. neighbouring Surrey Zoolo gical Gardens. On Sunday mornin g , about eleven o'clock ; the greatest alarm and con s ternation prevailed in Holborn and its vicinity, in consequence of loud cries of fire from a number of voices, and the rattling of engines along the streets ; it was Loon discovered that the scene of conflagration was Ball-court, Gray's-inn-lane, and that the premises of Mr. Townsend, a smith in an extensive way of business, were blazing away with such frightful rapidity as to threaten the destruction of the surrounding dwellings; 'in a short space of time, notwithstand ing a plentiful supply cf water and the utmost exertions of the firemen, every room in the house was completely gutted, as also the workshop in the rear. The premises immediately ad joining on either side sustained some degree of damage, but fortunately not to any great extent ; the amount of property consumed is somewhat considerable, but we believe Mr. Zown send was insured. It is not known how the fire originated. 1 y, THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1834. FINE ARTS. THE MAGAZINES-CONTINUED. WESTALL AND MARTIN'S ILLUSTRATIONS TA IT'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE. Simphin and Marshall. of the BIBLE, PART-IX.—Edward Churton. We do not like the engravings of the present number of this work, so well nts those which preceded it. W e are aware how unreasonable it would be to expect eight superior engravings with as many pages of letter-press, for a shilling ; but we are speaking comparatively. The best is " the Death of the First Born" from Westall's celebrated picture. Tait is unusually heavy this month. He sadly lacks variety ; and if he does not take care will soon sink, as an amusing witty fellow, in public estima tion. In his Radicalism he . is as strong and as powerful as ever-.---a Brixreus in the cause of the working classes—but he ought to bear in mind that people cannot be always thinking about taxes on knowledge, triennial Parliaments, and the ballot. We want to laugh sometimes, and if we are over burdened with taxes, and overladen with fetters, why, we would still laugh—at least on the first day of the month. There are even ways of in structing us in politics—in allowing us to gra duate in the doctoral dignitieS of Radicalism, and yet cause us to laugh heartily all the time. Our friend " Panurge," who made his way to England in the pages of Tait some two months since, and who bowed himself out of our presence, that he might conclude his supper in peace with the modern Lords Kisse breech and Suckfist, was a prof Nato whose lectures we could have listened for half a day without tiring. Where is he now, or what is he doing ? Has he for gotten the instructions of his gracious master—Pan tagruel ? The present number opens with a long and rather heavy article on the retiring salaries of Scotch Judges. Of course Tait is a rigid economist ; and like most political economists, we think he has overshot the mark. He goes into a long de tail of the comparative cheapness of living in Edinburgh, and seems to think that a high public fuhe ,: , ?nary should have 11;s wages doled out with as sparing a h anu l ,. as if he were only a higher order of day labourer. In this „, - p think him greatly mistaken. The public will never be we ll served unless it pay ge nerously for the performan,?l' a,year appears a s . of the services which it requires. Five thousand pounti large sum, but what is it when one . comes consider the many years of anxious toil and study, and the pense of the preparation necessary to qualify the aspi rant for Bench preferment, for the enjoyment of such a seat and such a salary ? Besides it will ever be the interest of the people to place the judges of the land above temptation. If Tait will attack the large grants allowed as retiring pensions to Cabinet Ministers, after a five year's service, then shall we join issue with him ; but to quote an adage often heard beyond the Tweed, —we will not " risk- the sheep for the bawbec's worth o' tar." We regret that " number one" has made an end of " Love and Parliament," of which the con cluding part is by no means the worst. His pen is a faulchion in his fingers, with which he lays lustily about him.. We recommend him to resume his late task in some other shape, but still to keep near the Legislature. Nothing is more wanted at present than a political Juvenal. A Horace would not be listened to in our days. " Pagehood, or the first step in Do mestic Life" is too brief for the subject. The writer has opened a mine which will bear working. " The Man to win his way through the World" seems intended for a satire on Scotland. We are sure that no English man would admit that the hero of such a tale could be found on this side the Tweed. The " Memoirs of a Radical" is a clever sketch of the life of a most extra ordinary enthusiast in the popular cause—Major Cartwright. He was a man of some genius, much honesty, unalterable resolution, and indomitable cou rage. 'We pass over the remaining articles. The literary notices are extremely few, and the paper on the dismissal of Whigs as brief as most of our own leading articles on the subject. Again we repeat Tait - isnot equal to himself this month. DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE. Simpkin and Marsha. The immense mass of polemical writing contained in this periodical is the only constant drawback on its excellence. All that partakes of the imagination in it is deserving of very high praise. " The Red Cross of Burgundy" is a fine magazine tale, and the period to whiCh it relates well chosen. Our only objection to it is the absence of that under-current of philosophy which the readers of Blackwood, about seven years since, well remember so enriched his series of tales. The capture of the Chevalier de Bourdon by the High Constable D'Armagnac, and the death of both are powerful, though not high-wrought passages. We shall not be surprised to see this tale dramatised in a short time ; and an excellent subject it would be. More than half the work is already done. " Scenes from the Life of Edward Laseelles, Gent.," is growing very heavy—very tiresome indeed. We can brook this the less easily from knowing by past experience the great powers of the writer, and how much he could please us, were he to exert himself for that purpose. The character of Widow Western, and her triumphant attack on the liberty of the unfortunate Baronet, are admirably hit off, but the whole of the article is by no means equal to these detached passages. There are several very fair specimens of Magazine poetry in this number. A song by Gilfillan is among the best. " Oliver's Advice" is miserable trash. How it found its way into the pages of a periodical in which, even in our opinion, genius made amends for ultra-Tory principles, is best known to Anthony Poplar. And yet we cannot believe that our friend Anthony could so sacrifice his taste—his character as a critic—as to have any hand in the mat ter. The printer was bribed by madman " Fitz- Stewart," which accounts for an error which thus turns out to be a mistake—nothing more. The long article on Croly's pamphlet .may interest the people of Ire land ; but, in our opinion, curtailed two-thirds of its length, it would answer the intended purpose much better. We quarrel not with the writer for his opinions about the Catholic priesthood, considered in any ca pacity. We are persuaded (and we know as much of that body as the writer) that the only way to abate the worst spirit of the religion of Rome in Ireland, is to pay the salaries of the priests out of the State coffers. Until this is done, never will that religion lose one jot .of its exclusiveness. Education cannot do it, and persecution will only increase it to an infinite degree. We speak advisedly, and assuredly not in ignorance of the principle which we recommend, nor of the tenets and habits of those on whom we wish it to operate. We hardly expected to find the dismissal of the Whigs passed over so lightly. The number, taken altogether, is a good one.. But what has become of Mr. O'Brien, the .. author of th e p o werful sketch of " Charles D'Al ton ?" We would be glad to meet with many more such College " Reminiscences" in the pages of the Dublin University Magazine. THE METROPOLITAN. Saunders and Ottley. This is a good number. ' japhet in search of Father," i s a very fair article ; but Captain IVrarryat is not quite at home in it. The wit is in a great measure forced, and the humour unnatural. Perhaps we do not properly understand, or fully appreciate, the merit of descriptions of manners which belong to man neither in a social nor savage state. " The Life of a Sub-Editor," is full of vigorous and wholesome thought. Nothing can be truer, nor worthier of the attention of parents, than the writer's deprecation of the usual mode of instilling and infusing religious instruction into young and tender minds. Why the majority of those to whom the care of youth is committed delight in representing the Deity as GENERAL ELECTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The Tories of this place are already actively en gaged in preparing for an election, and arc resorting to their old base tricks. Men known to be leaders of the Church and Tory interest here, have hot hesitated to offer persons money, or its equivalent, for their votes. The persons thus insulted are, as might be supposed, in humble circumstances, such as little shop-keepers, car riers, &c. A man who is a carrier, and lives in a village not far from the town has lost a horse by death, on which one of the Tory party said to him, "If you will vote for us we will give you another horse." It is thought fcm he man's firmness hitherto that he not accent ot bribe. A shopkeeper in the town was appliel to ty a leading man whose pinciples and whose electian-motives can scarcely be doubtel. Upon t shopkeeper seeing this person, and another, a profess'onal mar, coming to his house, and knowing that they Ind been coin; about the town to solicit votes, purpose!! went into a room helow the shop, where, however, he could hear the conversation which should t a k e 1.--L qce. The person addressed himself to the wife to this effect—" would find a few pounds very useful in " The w0n....7 1 nobly replied, "If you mean your business. in ~ l would reference to the election, tho l. the mone y wouldc ompro be - useful to us, I don't think that my hus Jant. mise his vote." It may be useful to hold up these mAiefactors in terroMr, and to intimate that their dish onourabl.e and practices, will be nurowly watched. Another circumstance may be addel to slow their mode of proceeding. At several of the public-louses in this town the lower classes are treated when they choose to come, at least once a week, and rec&ve a sliding each in audition, there being an evident understanding that ti e wish of their benefactors is that they should vote for tle Tory candidate. I remain, Sir, your obelicnt servant, Maidstone, Dec. 1,1834. OESERVER. " UNION IS STRENGTH." TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—Never was there a period when it was more ne cessary not only to preach, but to practise the doctrine in culcated by our motto. Let us, then, no longer dwell upon the failings of the late Ministers ; (for who among us is without fault ?) but proceed, heart and hand, in the great work they have begun, and, above all, defend ourselves and our rights from Tory encroachment and spoliation. We are on the eve of great events. In all likelihood, a general election is at hand. Without questioning the right or the propriety of constituents, freely and unreservedly to canvass the acts of their representatives (for I admit the principle in its fullest extent), I yet may be allowed to doubt both the wisdom and the policy of wasting our time in splitting straws, and quarrelling with this or that vote, merely be cause it does not happen to square with our own opinions, when the enemy is at our very gate ; and when all depends on our showing him a bold, determined, and united front, for remember, " UNION IS STRENGTH !" All we have now to - do, is to beat the Tories ; and squab bling amongst ourselves is the very • worst way to set about this. For one body of Reformers to set itself • against another, is, of all mad schemes, the maddest. It is to play directly in the hands of our opponents ; in fact their only hope of success. But, say some, the late ministers have disappointed the people ; they have not done all they might have done ; and the House of Commons, by the large majorities with which they have supported ministers, have forfeited our confidence. lam not apt to lose my temper, but I am free to confess, that when I look to all that has been done, in the very teeth too of a bigotted and unre formed House of Lords, Ido feel surprise, -not that so little but that so much has been accomplished, and sentiments, not of anger, but of gratitude are the natural, the inevitable result. 'What Administration ever did so much for the people as the last ? And under what adverse circumstances too ? Little do the people know the obstacles with which they were met at every turn, and the difficulties which at tended the attainment of even the most trivial measure of reform. Would to goodness these difficulties were duly ap preciated ! then, and not till, shall we set a proper value on what has been done. But my object is not so much to eulo gise the late ministry, as to show the unreasonableness and impolicy of quarrelling with them just now, when we ought to be buckling on cur armour for the fight :with their opponents. Again, therefore, I say, let UNION be ±he watchword among all classes of Reforme rs. Let there be no lukewarm:less in supporting candidates of avowedly Reform principles, even though they may not on some points come up to your standard of political virtu e . " Half a loaf is better than no bread." Above all, let th e sticklers for ultra-Liberalism bear in. mind, that it is wors e than useless for them to expect more than was accomplished by the late Ministers. They, I firmly believe, Would have gone farther if they could. Their very dismissal is a proof of the truth of this ; for had they not attempted • further reform, they might have been in power at this day. Let then all shades of political difference amongst Reformers be merged in the one great design to keep down the Tories ; and above all, to oust the Duke. That contemptible re negade " the Times," tells us " the Duke has said he will reform, and we are bound to believe him ! " The assertion is false : the reasoning from it absurd. When and where has the Duke ever said one word in favour of reform ? On all and every occasion, he has inveighed against it as unne cessary and mischievous. But even if he did'promise us reform, we are not bound to believe him. For his own credit's sake, we are bound to disbelieva, at all events, to distrust so disgraceful and profligate an avowal of departure from political principles. Electors of England I be not deceived by any promises from this quarter. " They will not, cannot come to good." Trust a Tory with reform measures ! Good Heavens ! Just as wise would it be to try a footpad by a jury of high waymen. Stoke, Dec. 1, 1834. AN OLD REFORMER. P.S. I cannot help contrasting the conduct of O'Con nell and Cobbett in the present posture of affairs. The former is practically illustrating the doctrine I have so feebly endeavoured to enforce. The other is, as usual, doing mis chief, by vituperating the late government, instead of at tracting the attention of his hearers to the evils of the pre sent one. When will this man devote his talents to any good, practical purpose ? THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)' HAY MARKETS.— At per Load of 36 Trusses).

FINSBURY MEETING.--Mr. Wakley has 'accepted the invitation of.the electors of Finsbury, and-will attend the meeting this evening at White Conduit House. as a being full of terrors to the frail children of dust, and heirs of sorrow and suffering, we could never un derstand. But whatever may be the cause, the cowe quences are too often such as the writer has described them. The " Memorials of Courtcnav Seymour" is a powerful sketch, with here and there touches of the deepest pathos. Captain Marryat's defence of his own conduct in the recent dispute between himself and the Messrs. Neale occupies several pages ; but the transac tion, whatever may have occasioned it, is nothing to us, nor, we believe, to the majority of our readers. It speaks little for the discretion of authors when they stiffer their names to appear before the world in police office reports. SPORTING MA GA Z INE.—Pittntan,Warwick-square. There arc not less than four engravings in this number, not one of which but is executed in a superior manner. The cottager's wife suckling the young foxes at the breast, which forms the subject of one of the illustrations, is rather a curious than agreeable spec tacle. It seems however, though we can scarcely credit it, to have been an actual occurrence, and which took place not many years since. Wild Duck shooting is admirably engraved, and the little bit of sylvan land scape in the back around, with the white turret of a village church gleaming through the trees, has a very picturesque effect. The literary department is well varied and selected, none of the articles sinning in point of length. They may be a l .l read at. " a heat." The most interesting papers are the letters from the West by a gentleman who signs himself Juan. • THE QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF AGRI CULTURE. Bfaclocood, Edinburgh ; CacLII, London. This is truly a very valuable publication, and, we are assured, has been productive of tlle greatest good in the agricultural districts of Scotland. It is an.on couraging spectacle to see the labours of the best in formed minds thus directed to the improve:nent of the soil, and the instruments of husbandry, and, as a natura consequence, increasing the food and raiment intended 19r the necessary support of human beings. The pre- sent ; 7 1411)er contains two valuable articles on the Culture of the f ~ ; and a still better one on the _ p(ARM _Property and Small Farms in Management of Landl,l l Ireland. No large agriculturist' ought to make this work a text-book. THE ANALY ST—Simpkin and Marshall. A little too heavy ; but, on the whole, an improv ng periodical. The criticisms on Art and the literary [otices would do credit to the first magazine of the day. THE ARCHITECTURAL MAGAZINE. Longman and Co. This number contains an ingenious article " On the Origin and Progress of Heating Buildings by the cir culation of Hot Water ;" together with SOITY2, curious retrospective criticisms. It is conducted by Mr. Lou don, with all the ability and talent for which he is dis tinguished. The lovers of science will find it a very clever and very useful little work. AN ENCYCLOPEDIA OF GEOGRAPHY, Part X.—Longman and Co. It would be quite superfluous to say a word of the merits of a publication, which is now confessedly un rivalled both for cheapness and utility. Two more parts will complete the work. COURT MAGAZINE. Lady Boughton forms the subject of a graceful em- bellishment this month, ,though the hair is rather too stiffly disposed. The profile is outlined with much delicacy, and the dark eye beams with expression. Among the literary contributions, we may single out for praise, the " Retrospections of an Officer in In dia ;" and more especially the " Letters from a late Attach 6." Mr. Haynes Baily's " Essay on Old Women," is neither above nor below mediocrity. We prefer this lively writer's poetry to his prose. LADY'S If for no other reason, this work would deserve to meet with success, from its interenting- coloured por traits of the celebrated female beauties who have figured in history, and in the domestic annals of their day. The portrait in the number before us, is that of La Belle Feronniere, who was one of the favourite mistresses of Francis the First. The face is beautiful though shaded with melancholy. The prose and verse articles of the Magazine call for uo particular comment. THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND MAGAZINE. Sintpkin and Marshall. We are glad to observe some approach to liberal principles, and some appearance of the exercise of rea soning faculties in this number. It is still, however, very far from coming up to our standard of liberality. TIM ENGLISHWOMAN. Part I.—Steil. This little publication is got up in the sam3 style as the La BelleAssembljc, and appears to us equally de serving of encouragement. We have plates plain and coloured ; some pretty verses set to music ; rhymes in great abundance ; and some very sentimental tales, in tended to move the hearts of sentimental misses and their mammas—if the old ladies cannot employ them selves more usefully than in listening to them. The present part is embellished with a handsome portrait of the Princess Victoria. PLAY-GOING GOSSIP. STRAND THEATRE. Fresh and reeking from the stern office of politics, it is 9. pleasant thing to find oneself comfortably seated in a pretty little theatre, gay and glittering with lights, laughter, and lovely faces ; the cares of the day about to be drowned in light hearted recreation. It is like the relief we may suppose a Knight of old to have experienced in doffing his heavy harness after some stout joust, and suddenly entering the festive hall redolent of lady-love and minstrelsy; or, descending to more modern analogies, like the domestic peace of a Lord Chief Justice's drawing-room, after he has settled the business of a score or two of miserable wretches—rogues from love or ne cessity. One - cannot be always fighting, always at stern duty, always frowning, always wise ; the deepest politician may have a cheerful heart beneath his waistcoat ; yet even in the gladdest places moodiness may be forced upon the merry. In this well-arranged, closely-packed, and home-like little theatre, where agreeable pieces arc played by agreeable ac ' tors to agreeable audiences, the ungainly principles of misrule are thrust in one's very teeth ; wrong is sure to work wrong. At this convenient, elegant, and most orderly little theatre, good people cannot take their evening's pleasure but at the expet,se of a humiliating shuffle ; they arc not suffered to go like honest folks, and pay their fah ly claimed entrance money into rtands honestly extended from the right place ; they must shroud themselves in a wretched evasion, and provide themselves with tickets after a surreptitious fashion. There is a species of strategy and trickery about it that to the downrightness of fair dealing is odious ; for all the world, like the dirty equivocation of some Turk of a true be liever, who comforts himself with forbidden wine by the in fraction of a law whose neccssariness he very much doubts. This is very bad ; but until it is righted we can do no more than follow the philosophy of our police magistrates in enfore•- • ing the " sweeping penalties of a certain Act :" " my good man, it is a cruel piece of legislation we know—every body knows—a crying shame—but we must do our duty. You very justly observe that if you don't break the law you must starve or steal; well, that is no affair of ours--onlv don't be detected, that's all." The badness of a law is a bon . us to its infringe ment. Judging from the audiences to be found here, small compunction appears to be felt about the mode of obtaining ad mission ; so good-humoured, so satisfied, so throughly pleased do they seem with the amusements proffered. And well they '• may be. Mrs. Waylett is one of the best, if not the very best English ballad- singer we now have ; there is something so touching, so plaintive, so heart -addressing in her tones, that captivates alike the cultivated or the uncultivated car; they do not excite the passions, but far better, they speak to the gentler emotions. Mrs. Waylett is not only a sweet vocalist but a clever actress as well, and she has provided herself with some very talented assistants. We wish her success, for she derserves it. It is positively certain that the Duke has declared, thrtt until the arrival of Sir Robert Peel he will do nothing, 11,Q1• will he give any thing. COURT CIRCULAR The Duke of Gloucester expired at his residence in Bagshot Park, at twenty minutes before seven o'clock on Sunday urn 'ng. Two of his Royal Highness's medical attendants were p i. e oo at the time; Sir Henry Halford had quitted Bagsliot some time crevious for town. Intelligence of the mournful event was nomrn oicatedto the Princess Sophia at Kensingtca yesterday morning, and also t o th e Palace at eight o Duke of Sussex and the duke of Wellington. Colonel Hig gins, senior equerry to his Highness, had an audience of the King on his arrival in towri, N communicate the melan choly event. The Duchess of Glducester and the Princess Sophia Matilda remained yesterday at Bagshot; the . Duchess was stated to be as well as could be exped!td, considering the anxiety and fatigue her Royal Highness has uo.dergone during the last fortnight. Last evening Messrs. Banting arrived at Bagshot, to make the necessary arrangements for the funeral. Their Majesties arrived in town at half past one o'clock yes terday morning, from Brighton. At three o'clock the Sheriffs of Lonion and Middlesex, Messrs. Raphael and Midge, arrived at the.Talace, accompL flied by the City Remembrancer, and had an audience of the King, to receive his Majesty's commands respecting the Ad d..ess of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of London, in Common Council assembled. The King was pleased to appoint two o'clock this day for the reception of the Address. His Majesty was attended by Lord James O'Bryen and the Hon. Captain Gorge Campbell, R. N., as the Lord and Groom in waiting ; Lord Hill, gold stir::: in waiting; and Sir William Gomm, Field °Meer in waiting. Ilis Majesty gave audiences yesterday, at St. James's, to the Lord Chanzellor, the Duke of Wellington, Lord Foley, Sir Robert Adair (Minister Plenipotentiary to the _King of Bel gium), Lord Hill, and Captain Ross. -------- FASIIIONM;LE INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS. Pants, Nov 29.—The news of a serious check experi enced by Mina, which we mentioned with extreme distrust, is not confirmed. 'inc letter which spoke of it was dated from Bayonne, the 24th, and letters of the 25th, written by persons worthy of credit, positively affirm that no serious en gazement had taken place. On the other hand, we know from an authentic source, that important resources, and five millions of reels, which are perhaps still more necessary, have been sent to Mina, whose health appears to be better. We may, therefore, now expect to see him prosecute his opera tions with the vigour and promptness of which he has given such frequent proofs. The report of the Portuguese intervention is not confirmed. We arc yet ignorant of the effect which the accession of a Tory Cabinet has produced in Biscay, and we can still less know yet what effect it has had at Madrid. The most perfect tranquillity continues to prevail at Madrid. A great number of members of the opposition have openly joined the Ministry, at least on vital questions. The prospects of the country, which have been so long un fortunate, appear every day more and more favourable.— Constitutionntl, Nov. 30. PAnis, Nov. 30.—The Bon Sens says—. Mina is at the head of 15,000 men. The Juntas of Guipuscoa and Navarre are constantly pursued by the troops, and in their flight have left papers which are said to implicate some important per sonages. Lord Brougham's arrival at Paris could not fail to produce some sensation in the political circles. His first visit was to M. Dupin, and the first invitation to dinner which he ac cepted was to the Duke de Broglie's. On the evening of the 28th, he was at the English Ambassador's, when there were 1,500 of the most distinguished persons in Paris, at a party which it is supposed will be the last, as Lord Granville wifl probably cease his functions at our Court very shortly. The , Duke of Orleans and many Ministers and Ambassadors were present at this brilliant assembly. Lord I3fougham was heard to express himself very plainly respecting the Wellington Administration, which he declared he .'iought must fall before the Parliament. We hear that he intends to remain here till the sitting of the Academy of Sciences on the Bth of December. It is supposed be will leave Paris in a few days afterwards.—Messager, Nov. 30. BRAZIL PAPERS. RIO DR JANEIRO, SEPT. 11.—The Brazilian schooner Lcbrc having detained the patache Santo Antonio, on board of which were 144 negroes, the seizure has been declared legal ; the vessel, as the property of Brazilian subjects, confiscated, for the use of his Majesty the Emperor and his Britanric Majesty; and the Africans, to the number of 91 (53 having died), are placed at the disposal of his Majeaty the Emperor as servants and free labourers, according to the law. This decision is dated Rio, Sept. 4, and signed by Joao Carneiro de Campos and George Jackaon, Judges Of the Mixed Commission. SEPT. 12.—A ship, called the Fortuna d' Africa, havinza, lately arrived in this port, alleging that it is from Monte Video, but which there ale strong reasons for supposing to be engaged. in the illegal African slave trade, the Minister of Justice directs the Intendant of Police to make the strictest inquiry into the . affair, and to be at all times extremely vigilant with respect to all ships arriving or departing, to ascertain the circumstances of their papers. crews, or cargoes, in order, by all possible means, to provide for the execution of the law of November 7, 1331. SEPT. 13.—The Chamber of Deputies having applied for information respecting the Brazilian force s in the province of San Pedro, stationed there to secure the territory of the em pire against any invasion which the Government of the Re public of the Oriental State of Uruguay might attempt, under the pretext of pursuing the emigrants, subjects of that Republic, who have declared in favour of General Lavelleja, the Minister for Foreign Affairs communicates, by order of the Regency, to the Chamber of Deputies, the whole of the correspondence which has taken place with the Imperial Go vernment on this important subject. The reading of the strict orders given by the Imperial Government will show that it has always been careful to take the necessary seel s, both to main tain the tranquillity of the province of San Pedro, by expelling from it the said emigrants, who abused the hospitality afforded. them, and by punishing all the Brazilians who had joined them; and also to give official assurances to the Minister for Foreig.t Affairs of the Oriental Government, in order to dispel the sus picions which it had conceived respecting the policy of the Imperial Government.
