LITERATURE. ENGLAND and the ENGLISH, 2 VoLs. LoNDo.v, 1833. This book will be popular, for, both in style nd substance, it is in strict accordance with the pirit of the day. It combines the useful vith the entertaining, though the useful Aredominates. As may be surmised from he title of his volume, Mr. Bulwer—for it is to he lively author of " Pelham," and that still cle terer work " Paul Clifford," which shows con iderable fertility of invention, that we are ndebted for them—expatiates at large over a aide field of speculation ; not so much putting Forth novel truths, as amplifying, regenerating, And enforcing old ones, with all the elegance of a scholar and all the subtlety of a metaphysician. We are not quite sure, but we think we trace many of Godwin's opinions in this production, and recognise the presence of many a great moral truth drawn from an acquaintance with the philosophical researches of Mill and Ben tham. Nervously apprehensive (apparently) of being thought tedious and prolix in his more serious disquisitions, Mr. Bulwer has relieved his subject every now and then—to say nothing of the varied graces of his style ; which is now swelling and sonorous as Johnson, now richly enamelled with metaphor like Burke, and now quaint and sententious as Charles Lambe, particularly in his sketches of classes of cha racter—Mr. Bulwer, in addition to all this, has here and there heightened his subject by the introduction of characteristic anecdote, brief, pertinent apologue, gossip, and all those showy and attractive requisites which tell so well with readers of the present age, and without which no book will sell. His nain plebecula garde& From the title it would reasonably be anticipated that Mr. Bulwer's book was, what is termed by the cunning in such matters, " heavy." Nothing of the sort. It is light, airy, and readable to a degree. The author is constantly on the wing. He dwells long on no one subject, but hops from field to field of speculation with all the ease and vivacity of a swallow. Common-place will, therefore, proba bly object to him that he is not profound—as if dullness and prolixity were the necessary—the inseparable adjuncts of profundity. However, no matter what be the objections, one fact is certain—the book will sell, and it would not at all surprise us if it were to surpass " Pelham" (whose conventional tone is unintelligible twenty miles out of London) in popularity. The more superficial reader will prefer the chapter entitled " Supplementary Illustrations of Character," whose style is modelled somewhat closely upon " Elia ;" but the more apprehensive and discri minating one will ground his approbation of the work on the two masterly—masterly, because they are minutely analytical—chapters on " Con versation and Literary Men," and on the " Social Habits of the Population." There is as much shrewdness and sagacity in the follow ing remarks, as in any that we have yet met with in modern works : " In nearly all states, it is by being the tool of the great that the lowly rice. People point to the new Sejanus, and cry to their children, " See the effect of merit !"—Alas, it is the effect of servility. In despotic states, the plebeian has even a greater chance of rising than in free. In the east, a common water-carrier to-day is grand vizier to• morrow. In the Roman Republic the low horn were less frequently exalted than they were in the Roman despotism. So with us—it was the Tories who brought forward the man of low or mediocre birth; the Whigs, when they came into power, had only their grand seigneiurs to put into effice. The old maxim of the political adventurer was invariably this: To rise from the people, take every opportunity to abuse them ! What mattered it, then, to 'be plebeians that one of their number was exalted to the Cabinet ? He had risen by opposing their wishes ; his very ch iracteristic was that of contempt for his brethren. A nobleman's valet is always super eminently hitter against the canaille : a plebeian in high station is usually valet to the whole peerage ! " The time has long past when the English people bad any occasion for jealousy against the power of the Crown. Even at that period in which they directed their angry suspicions against the King, it was not to that branch of the legislature that the growing power of corruption was justly to be attributed. From the date of the aristocratic revolution of 1688, the influence of the aristocracy has spread its unseen monopoly over the affairs of state. The King, we hear it said, has the privilege to choose his Ministers! Excellent delusion ! The aristocracy chose them ! the heads of that aristocratic party which is the most powerful must come into office, whether the King like it or not. Could the King choose a Cabinet out of m. n unknown to the Aristocracy—persons belonging neither to Whig nor Tory ? Assuredly not ; the aristocratic p trty in the two Houses would be in arms. Heavens, what a commotion there would be ! Imagine the haughty indignation of my Lords Grey anti Harrowby ! What a prelection" we should receive from Lord Brou2ham, " deeply meditating these things !" Alas! the King's Ministi y would be out the next day, and the Aristocracy's Ministry, with all due apology, replaced. The power of the King is but the ceremonial to the power of the mag nates. He enjoys the prerogative of seeing two parties 4 g lit in the lists, and of crowning the victor. Need I cite exatraples of this truth ? Lord Chatham is the dread and :.I;sgost of George lll.—the stronger of the two factions for the time being f Tee his Majesty into receiving that Minister, The Catholic question was the most unpalata ble measure that could be pressed upon George IV.—To the irritability of that Monarch no more is conceded than e'as granted to the obstinacy of his royal father, and the catholic Relief Bill is passed amidst all the notoriety of iris repugnance. In fact, your Excellency, who knows well the juggling with which one party in politics fastens its sips upon another, may readily perceive that the Monarch has only beta roasting the chesnuts of the Fisoicracy ; and the aristocracy, cunning creature, has rely affected to look quite shocked at the quantity of chesnuts roasted. " In a certain savage country that I have read of, there is a chief supposed to be descended front the gods; all the other chiefs pay him the greatest respect; they consult him whether they should go to war or proclaim peace; but it is an understood thing, that he is to be made acquainted with their determination beforehand. His consent is merely the ratification of their decree. But the chiefs, always speaking of his power, conceal their own ; and while the popular jealousy is directed to the seeming authority, they are enabled quietly to cement and extend the foundations of the real. Of a similar nature have been the relations between the English King and the Eog. fish aristocracy ; the often odious policy of the last has been craftily fastened on the first ; and the sanctity of a King has been too frequently but the conductor of popular ightning from the more responsible aristocracy. We regret that our very limited space pre vents us from insisting on the merits of these volumes, as we could desire ; we must, there fore, content ourselves with observing that their great recommendation is, that they comprise not the crude and hasty, but the deliberate and care fully digested opinions of a writer who perfectly understands the temper (moral, literary, and political) of his age, and the peculiarities of the class of readers to whom he addresses himself. In a word, the book is the very One most likely to he in demand at the present feverish and spe culative season. It has hit the bull's eye. Its writer is neither in advance, nor yet in the rear of his age, but marches boldly side by side with it ; noting and sympathizing with its progress ; and ever ready when it shows symptoms of flag ging, to lend it an arm and help it forward. We rise from the perusal of " England and the English" impressed with a higher sense than ever of the moral and intellectual deserts of Mr. 13ulwer—an Aristocrat (so far as appears from his present vols.) without intolerance—a scholar without pedantry—a man of the world without selfishness. The MANUFACTURING POPULATIONof ENGLAND. By P. GAsrELL. The importance of this work will only he fully appreciated by the future historian %vim desires to have the account of a con temporary of the change effected in the cha racter of the manufacturing population by the introduction of machinery. Upon every point on which Mr. Gaskell's personal experience is brought to bear, he is clear, full, and satisfactozy. We cannot, however, concur in many of the prin ciples he lays down as he advances. We marked the first half dozen of fal lacies we came to ; but the number ac cumulated upon us so rapidly, that we were obliged to give up our intention of reporting them. Putting aside, then, the conclusions at which Mr. Gaskell has arrived, we do not think we do the country a greater service than by spreading a true idea of the domestic state of the manufacturing population. We are pre sented in the work before us with many pictures which we should like to be enabled to think are overcharged, but they have received too strong confirmation from other quarters to allow us to doubt of their truth. The following extracts will give a fair idea of the nature of Mr. Gas kell's work, as far as the statement of facts is concerned : " The small sum devoted to household purposes by the narrative, may be determined with some accuracy, and it affords considerable information as to his habits. A family consisting of five persons may serve as an example, that being about the average number. This family will pay for lent, which includes taxes, 3s. a week for a cottage containing two rooms ; and the different items of their expenditure will be somewhere as follows :—tea, quarter of a pound, Is. 2d. ; coffee, half a pound, 10d. ; bread, 3e. ; coals and candles, is. ; animal food, 2s. ; butter, soap, salt, and cheese, 2s. 6d. ; potatoes, Is. ; sugar, Is. 6i ; milk, 3d. ;—total, 16s. 3d. The allowance of the above articles is liberal, and certainly more than what the generality of families use. Against this must he placed the amount of their earnings, which, when taken at the average rate of wages paid to manufacturing labourers, will be 10s. 6d. per head—total of wages, 21. 12s. 6d. ; thus leaving a surplus of 1/. 16s. 3d. for dress and other purposes. " Though the general appearance of the operative is squalid, and the majority of the middle aged badly dressed, the young women and girls expend considerable sums upon their persons. They exhibit in the style of dress a very striking contrast with the inhabitants of the rural districts, a distinction always observable between town and country girls. A taste for showy clothing has been no doubt given by the extreme cheapness of printed calicoes and muslins, and indeed by the lowness of price in all manufactured articles of middling quality; and the factory girl, with her p:tle face and languid expression, offers, when decked out in her Sunday and holyday apparel, a strange anomaly with the dirty, unfurnished, and miserable house from which she issues. " The females employed in silk mills go a step still far ther as to dress than the cotton spinner or weaver. Many of these are really well and handsomely clad, and present an appearance of outward respectability, equal, if not superior, to that of hundreds in the middle walks of life. • " The system of factory labour has, however, gone far towards annihilating this great and beautiful principle in woman's moral organization. Necessity, or rather impro vidence, has driven her to have recourse to labour ; and that labour being continued throughout the whole day has torn asunder those links of affection which, under almost all other circumstances, has bound her mother to her off spring ; and in doing this it has deprived the mother of that moral character istic, the most influential in rendering her a loveable and loving being. " Compelled to rise early—no opportunity given for visiting home, during the day, but at the scanty and hur ried mealtimes—her mind and body alike enthralled by her occupation—her social affections destroyed—her frame little calculated to furnish her child with support, she be comes inaccessible to its appeals to her tenderness—leaves it to the care of a hireling, or young person, a mere in- fant—suffers it to he filthy and half starved, and, as its faculties develop, takes no interest in keeping it from the contagion of vice and grossness. • "If a mother's love is thus injured—a love springing as it d. es from the very groundwork of her moral nature, no wonder can be excited that the relations of husband and wife are perverted, and, in place of presenting a pic ture of what love and domestic felicity should be, deve loping a scene of indecency—wanting every thing which should render home a place for put e and chaste pleasures. The chastity of marriage is but little known or exercised ; husband and wife sin equally, and an habitual indifference to sexual rights is generated, which adds one other item to assist in the destruwion of domestic habits. " The delicacy of comportment, which is the p illadium of married love, has no existence; separated during the whole of the day, exposed to vicious example, surrounded by a stimulant yet enervating atmosphere, the intercourse of man and wife loses its protecting influence upon the animal appetites, and ceases to become a bar to licentious ness and sexual profligacy. After their day's labour, they meet at night, not as those who love and have been sepa rated, not to indulge in the endearments proper to their condition, but to drink and to quarrel ; to behave inde cently, or to taunt each other in terms of beastiali►y. The fountains of domestic purity being thus poisoned, the sanctity of marriage rites thus profaned, social virtue is driven from her last strong hold, and leaves them a prey to obscenity, coarseness, selfishness, and everything per nicious and abominable. ♦ " N:ither is the conduct of parent to child, and of child to parent, a whit more engaging, but is as remote as possible from the just observance of filial and parental duties. Insubordination on the part of the child, cruelty and oppression on that of the }went; quarrelling, fighting —a total alienation of affection ; and, finally, a separation from home, at an age when parental control and proper domestic discipline are essential to the future wellbeing of the child. " The instances of proper feelings between parents and children are very uncommon : those offices which should be mutually rendered are neglected; an utter disregard for the well or evil doing of either party is exhibited. If they still live together, held by mutual interests, the morals of his children form no part of the anxiety of the parent, so hang as they bring their usual weekly allowance to the fund for their support. It is no unusual thing to hear a mother detail a course of wickedness and licentiousness on the part of her son, bewailing his neglected time and lost money, without once adverting to the moral criminality of his career, or the evil of his example upon the rest of her family; or a father telling a tale of his daughter's disho nour, and cursing her for the neglect of her work, without even hinting at her depravity, or expressing sorrow for her moral declension." These are facts which deserve the attention of every humane man, and we doubt not they will receive it. CHARACTER; OR,JEW AND GENTILE. 2 VOLS. LONDON, 1833. An amusing tale, but not clever enough to justify the fair authoress (Mrs. Leman Grim stone) in adopting such an ambitious title. EXPEDITION TO PORTUGAL IN 1532 2 VOLS. LOY DON, 1833. This work is from the pen of Colonel Hodges, and has been carefully and elaborately drawn up. The interest, however, of the subject—at least of the first English expedition to Oporto, with its frequent attendant failures—is now in a great degree gone by. The most readable chapter in Colonel Hodges' book is that entitled " Convert Stories and Accommodations." RYE. \TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The friends of Captain Curteis, M.P. of the bo rough and districts of Rye, invited the Captain to a din ner on the 23d inst., to celebrate his return as Represen tative for Rye, and its districts, but previous to the meeting to dine, there was a bill sent out to the public denying the Captain to be the Representative of Rye, as in the invita tion he was styled,"antl the reasons that were given in that Bill were as follows—viz., because be bad voted and omit ted to vote for the undermentioned motions. :The purpo t of this letter is to inquire of you, Sir, if the articles herein inserted are correct,—that is, whether you are in the con stant habit of employing a reporter in the Commons' House, and if so, whether you will vouch for the follow ing articles being correct, they being taken from your paper as they came regularly to my hands, and extracted by me accordingly. The Captain, you will observe, Sir has denied publicly at the dinner-party that seven or eight of the articles out of the eleven are true. Now, Sir, as your paper is in great repute at Rye and the neigh bourhood, it is therefore highly necessary that we have full confidence in the veracity of your reporters; you will therefore have the goodness, for the sake of your own honour, to rectify any errors in the charge that is made against you in respect of any false reports, in these are ticks now sent to you, and at the same time to declar what part is true, and if all is true, as declared before in your paper. ARTICLES AS TAKEN FROM THE SUN PAPER. 1. Captain Curteis voted for the continuance of flogging in the army. 2. Captain Curteis did not vote for Mr. Hume's motion to reduce sinecures and pensions. 3. The Captain did not vote for the ballot to return repre. sentatives to Parliament. ..._............. __ _ ............. 4. The Captain did not vote to reduce 7,000 artillery men to 5,000. 5. The Captain did not vote to reduce the number of the yeomanry corps. 6. He did not vote that the house and window tax be taken off. 7. Nor for equalizing the stamp tax, to make the middle part of society not to pay more than their fair proportionate share. 8.

The Captain did not vote for Mr. Fryer's motion to bring in a Bill to amend the present corn laws. 10. The Captain did not vote to reduce the 20 milliors pro posed to be given to the West India proprietors to emancipate the slaves, after they arc dead. 11. The Captain did not vote that the surplus money of the Bishops' lands be applied for such purposes as Parliament might hereafter direct.

To explain the original cause of the present quarrel, it is only necessary to say there was a meeting on Saturday se'nnight, at the Eyre Arms Tavern, St. John's Wood, at which Mr. O'Connell presided. It was given in honour of the memory of Major Cartwright. We copy from the organ supposed to be under his con trol what he said upon the occasion : " But why did he talk of newspapers 2—it was all vain for the public to expect from newspapers, as they were then con stituted and managed, anything like honesty. No; they would nave nothing but the distillation of individual malig nity, and the concentration of private hate, through thosefou/ mediums. What did the newspapers do but evil ? People might talk of them as they liked ; but he maintained that, constituted and managed as they were, they did nothing but evil. Such atrocious proceedings on the part of the news paper press were unparalleled. It was in vain to think that they would grow better. The Times, the mighty Times, had had during all that period the worst reports of these proceed ings; the very worst, because they were designedly bad. The Chronicle, once the friend of the people, —now how fallen ! had them equally bad, because with the same intentions. But both were in the hands of Ministers, and that fully explained the matter. Complaints were making daily and hourly by Members of Parliament, of the infamous reports of their sen timents which appeared in the Morning Papers; private com plaints, he admitted. Perhaps they had their own reasons for not making them public, but he had none. He knew well that there was no enemy more feared by a public man than a newspaper; but he was not afraid of them at all; he de fied their utmost power and ingenuity." This was the original attack, and the best answer which can be given to those Members of Parliament who fairy the present proceeding on the part of the gentlemen con nected with the newspapers have reference to any thing said in the House of Commons, is to be found in the - - - _ fact that the speech was delivered " out of doors," when no privilege of the House was or could be concerned. At this meeting Mr. O'Connell thus spoke of the House of Commons itself : " But what was the first act of the treacherous representa tives of the people in a reform Parliament ? It was to assist this wretched Government in crushing constitutional liberty in Ireland, and substituting military license in its stead. The Whigs and the reform Parliament might, by possibility, forgive themselves, and forgive one another for this nefarious act; but as long as the breath of lite animated him, he would notforgive either the injuries they had inflicted on his country. They had, in fact, now that the end of the session was at hand, done nothing of good for the country during all its protracted sittings; but they had filled her cup of evil to the very brim." In proposing the health of the Member for Oldham, he prefaced it thus:— " As there was a sort of slang every where, and St. Ste phen's had its full share of it as well as any other place, and as his friend beside him (Mr. Cobbett) was there designated as the Hon. Member for Oldham, he would take the liberty of proposing his health." Now, at the time all this abuse of the House of Com mons was uttered, there were three Hon. Members pre sent (Mr. Hume, Mr. Cobbett, and Mr. Gillon), none of whom spoke a word against this abuse of " privilege." STATE OF TRADE. (From the Halifax Express.) At Huddersfield, on Tuesday, the market was about as usual, but the business done in Wool was rather checked by the advanced prices. At Bradford Matket, on Thursday, the market was not very brisk, but prices remained firm. At York Wool Market, on Thursday, the show was small, with no alteration in price. At Rochdale Flannel Market, on Monday, prices ad vanced, and much business was transacted. In Idle, Shipley, Guiseley, Esholt, Eccleshill, and the neighbouring district, the differences between the mill owners and their workmen continue unadjusted. GERMAN PAPERS.

HAMBURG, JULY 26.....BORSEN.HALLE, HALF-PAST Two O'CLOCK.-In the early part of the week there was but little demand for wheat, but within the last few days several purchases have been made, owing to accounts from the interior, from which it appears that the late unfa vourable state of the weather has occasioned some fears for the safety of the harvest. Our market has in conse quence been cleared of the better qualities. Some cargoes of Bohemian wheat were received, and brought 110 rix dollars. In rye little doing, but holders stand firmly out for the present prices. The same remark will apply to barley. For oats the demand has increased, but no inclination has been shown to give higher prices. From the 12th to the 19th instant 40 cargoes of corn passed through the Sound-19 were bound for Holland, eight for Great Britain, nine for Sweden and Norway, one for Gibraltar, and of three the destination was not known. _ _ Rix-dollars.

STATE OF TRADE IN LANCASHIRE.—The silk-weaving in the towns round Manchester has become more . brisk. Plain sarceneta are much in demand, and are likely to continue so through the ensuing winter, as stocks are low. Figured goods are less in demand. Cotton-weaving is dull, owing to the continued advance in the raw material. The factories at Bury and Heywood are working short time; as are also the mills of JOHN FIELDEN, Esq., of Todmorden, and several others in that neighbourhood. At Oldham and Royton the mills are working full time.—Leeds Mercury. ROMAN CATHOLIC MARRIAGE.—On Fri day morning, at the Spanish Ambassador's chapel, Man chester-square, Mr. PHILLIPS, a wealthy Roman Catholic gentleman, and Miss CLIFFORD, niece of Lord CLIFFonnf were united according to the ritual of the Church o, Rome, in the presence of a great number of the Catholic nobility and gentry. The marriage ceremony, which does not usually talc! place in public, was performed by the Right Rev. Dr. BRA3ISTON, Vicar Apostolic of the London district, who afterwards, attired in the pontifical robes, and bearing his crosier and mitre, celebrated the mass appointed for such occasions, in which he was assisted by the Ambassador's Chapla;ns, and the Hon. and Rev. SPENCER (brother of Lord ALTHORP), an intimate friend of the bridegroom, the latter and his bride kneeling at the foot of the altar, where they received the nuptial benediction at the hands of the Bishop. A short ex hortation concluded the ceremonies, and the happy p air immediately afterwards left town in the bridegroom's travelling chariot and four. They were of course legally married elsewhere, according to the established forms of he Church of England. ARRIVALS OF GRAIN IN LONDON DURING LAST WIERK. 5 v 41 ,l" 9 r ' From Whence. g T. g• T .

The past week's arrivals of Wheat and Oats were considerable, of other Grain moderate, and of Flour tolerably good. The trade for:every article throughout the week was dull, and inclining downwards. This morning there was another large supply of Wheat, and the weather being remarkably fine, and reaping having commenced, the trade was excessively dull, and the gene ral quality of Wheat may be reported 3s. to ss. per quarter cheaper than on Monday last, with many parcels left unsold. Barley has declined Is. per quarter. There was a good quantity of Beans for sale, and they are Is. to 2s. per quarter lower. Of Old Pease very few at market, and fine New White Pease have sold slowly at 41s. to 465. per quarter. There is abundance of Oats for sale, and this trade is heavy, at Is. perquarter reduction from the terms of this day se'nnight. Themillers have consented to consider the top price of Flour as reduced to 50s. per sack, in consequence of the decline in Wheat. The accounts of the Wheat crop are now very favourable, though mildew is partially spoken of. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP. Wheat, Red (old) -s. -s. Beans, Small (new)... -s. -s. ----White (old) -s. --s.

Moved by Mr. Deputy WE:TON. and seconded by Gaona% OFFOR, Esq. That as the Recorders, Common Sergeants, and Judge• of the Sheriff Court of the City of London have been usually selected from the Common Pleaders of the city, tt is highly desirable, in the opinion of this Meeting, that a ll Vacancies in the Common Pleadership should be supplie d by Gentlemen of tried and acknowledged abilities and ex" perience at the Bar. 2.

LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 29, 1833. By the Paris papers of Friday, Saturday, n"° yesterday's dates, we learn that, up to th' ig time, the celebration of the anniversary of t he J July revolution was proceeding as tranquill y' and under as favourable circumstances, as coi l ' be desired. It was consid e red, however, ( 4 from improbable that a sensation might d created at the review yesterday, by cries o n e shouts of" Down with the forts," &c., as the On!, liberal among the National Guard defiled bef°'; the KING. Several arrests of suspected person, took place, it seems, on Thursday and at Paris. It was rumoured in the politic s o circles of that capital that the two G o vernme n of France and England had declared that theip wo uld acknowledge Donna MARIA only whe she had been proclaimed Queen in Lisbon: Private letters from Madrid mentioned, th o r since the late ch ang es which had take n place , the aspect of Portuguese affairs, the Ambasss; dors of France and England had been treat!' while with marked thoseof Austria, Spanish Ca r bi s o s e i ;: v were all but forbidden the royal presence.
