ILLUSTRATIoNS TO TURNER'S ANNUAL TOUR. LOYDOII. 1833. Turner is here again in all his glory, playing occasionally strange freaks with nature, like one who is a spoiled child, but redeeming all his extravagances by the vivid, poetic turn of his fancy. He is not the man to cripple an effect for lack of courage. He cares nothing about startling a matter-of-fact observer ; of drawing down on himself the frowns of perplexed com mon-place. His genius is no Quaker ; it scorns to attire itself in sober drab, but struts about with " an air" in the Imperial purple. Yet his lavish pomp of colouring, his embla zoned skies and waters, and most surprising sun sets, wear little or nothing of a meretricious aspect, it is so plain, on the face of them, that a fervid, enthusiastic spirit, teeming to overflowing with rare images of grace and beauty, has pre sided at their creation. Do what he will, Turner cannot look on nature with other than a poetic eye. His landscapes are all steeped— drenched in the rich golden light of a subtle, but somewhat wayward, imagination. He treats the most familiar matters in the most unfamiliar style possible—would invest even a pig-stye with grace, and hang a sentiment on a cabbage-stump. In this respect he reminds us of Professor Wilson, with whom his genius has many points in common. The Illustrations before us, twenty in number, contain some of the most surprising touches of beauty we have ever seen, even from the magic pencil of Turner. See, for instance, what he has made of that—in common-place hands—intractable object, a steam-boat !It helps out his picturesque effects surprisingly, and in the " View between Quilleboauf and Villequier," absolutely looks poetical, worthy, despite its smoke, and the black, Brentford-cut of its chimney, to float upon one of the en chanted lakes of fairy-land. " Light-Towers of the Heve," consisting of a few clouds, a half extinguished moon, a fishing skiff with its shadow, and the red glimmer of a Pharos, forms a most imposing, and at the same time harmoni ous, picture. There is a dreamy, preternatural grandeur about it, which seizes on the fancy like a spell. To the mere matter-of-fact ob server, a dash of conceit and exaggeration may appear visible ; but the eye of faith and imagination—and Turner requires such to have his paintings thoroughly appreciated — will see at once that it has nature for its ground-work, which art has brought out, like a fine varnish. " Chateau de Tancarville" is full of repose and beauty. The broad, winding river scarcely seems to stir, or, at most, to glide lazily " at its own sweet will"—as Wordsworth finely says, in a line which Turner will at once understand, "La Chaire de Gargantua" is in our artists's boldest manner. The massive, drooping clouds seem fraught with the pent-up waters of a world, and brood over the valley like a curse. Yet in the foreground all is cheerfulness and beauty. The fishermen are at work with their nets, and the only sign of an approaching hurricane is in the schooner, which is crowding ail sail for port. There is a fine attempt at contrast in this picture, yet why has Mr. Turner, in his eagerness to produce effect, made the flash of his lightning as broad as a ribbon of the Garter ? It is a perfect elemental caricature. " Havre" is a pictu resque scene of social gaiety and bustle. " Rouen" breathes of antiquity ; the artist's poetic style of handling is here everyw here predominant. " Chateau de la Mailleraie" shows us nature in her holiday suit, putting on all her sunniest smiles, and most winning manners, to dazzle and captivate. Of the remaining landscapes, we have merely space to say, that they are worthy of Turner, who has also had the good luck to find in Brandard and Cousins, en gravers fully adequate to translate his splendid paintings. manufacturing—and, above all, of the labouring class, comprehending, as it does, the numerical majority, and, consequently, the physical powers of the community— ,hese are now matters ' familiar to our ears as household words,' the topics of daily, hourly conversation and dis cussion, in every corner of almost every land ; _often ignorantly, stupidly, blunderingly treated, it may be ; but still canvassed, spoken, written, read, thought upon." This is the fact. The bigots attached to ancient abuses may sneer at " modern philo sophy," but it being the philosophy which ha s objects in view that must interest as long as men live by eating food, it runs every chance of prevailing over its rivals. Mr. Scrope has unavoidably handled several of the questione s vexatce in political economy, but it is only his opinions with respect to one of them to which we will now allude ; we mean that on Malthus's posi don of " the tendency of population to press against the means of subsistence." Mr. Scrope at tacks this as an abominable doctrine, fit only to be scouted at. W e ag re e with him, that with a proper system of emigration it would be ridicu lous in weak, short sighted man to act upon the doctrine as if in apprehension of the time when the earth will be fully peopled ; but how he can deny the truth of the position, we are at a loss to un derstand. He admits that a particular country may become too populous to feed all its inhabi tants. If so, why not every country ? That population does increase he acknowledges, and as it is clear that there may, some time or other however unlikely to happen even within these 2,000 years, be a time when every country has been made to produce its maximum of food, we should have thought that he did in fact acknow ledge " the tendency of population to press against the meats of subsistence." We are about to give Mr. Scrope's book a second reading, and if we should find any thing that upon consideration reconciles these apparently contradictory positions, we will candidly ac knowledge it. We will now only add that the work is not in the form hitherto usually given o works of this kind, a ponderous quarto or bulky octavo, but of a duodecimo, compact, neat, and portable. TRADITIONARY STORIES OF OLD FAMILIES. 2 VOL,. LONDON, 1833. The idea of this work is excellent. It is (to use the elegant words of the author) to . " give life and muscle to the dry skeleton of tradition, and fill up by the fancy the meagre outline of ill-recorded history." Sir Walter Scott has done this to some extent in the Waverley novels : still a vast mass of wild legend and interesting anecdote, which, though highly illus trative of the habits of our forefathers, yet scarcely come within the scope of history, re mained ungathered, and this mass Mr. Picken has collected and sifted with rare skill and diligence. The present volumes are chiefly confined to the traditionary stories of his native country ; but he proposes, should his plan he favourably received—as we doubt not it will be—to extend it to England. We know no man better qualified for such an undertaking than the author of that popular work, " The Domiide's Legacy." To the patience, shrewd ness, and indomitable perseverance of the anti quarian, he adds the fancy and feeling of the poet; and possesses besides this rare qualifica tion, namely, that he is no imitator of the Scott or Galt school, but writes from his own vivid impression of things. In this sense he may be justly styled an original author—no slight praise, in an age which seems to have fairly ransacked anti exhausted all the materials of originality. It is, however, in his mastery over the pathetic, and in his management of incident, that Mr. Pickett is most suc cessful. The story never flags in his hands. He is the Young Rapid of romance ; always " keeps moving," and hurries the reader along with him with a breathless speed, that would be dangerous, (lid not judgment keep fast hold of the reins. As a humourist, Mr. Picken is easy and unforced, but lacks pith and energy. De scription he excels in, especially of the wild, mountainous Highland landscape, into which he breathes the very breath of life, so that you shall feel, as well as see, the grandeur and sublimity of the scene he conjures up. There are some descriptive touches of this sort in the " John stone's" which would do honour to Scott or Wilson. This tale, by the bye, is the best in the collection ; and will be read with more in terest when the reader is informed that the main incidents are strictly true. The moral it con veys, though a trite, is nevertheless a valuable one, and cannot be too often repeated. It is the sufferings attending unequal alliances—a moral which the author has written with a pen dipped in tears. The tale is, indeed, a most mournful one, and throughout arrests attention with an iron grasp, so vividly are the characters portrayed, so naturally, yet skihully, is the plot evolved. The introduction well prepares us for the after incidents, like the solemn choral pre lude to some catastrophe in the Greek drama : " It was whilst living dull and solitary in my upland dwelling of Balgownie Brae, in the west of Scotland, and sliding listlessly on towards the evening of life, that I at one time took a plaintive thoeght concerning sundry events in my own history; and recalled, with an inward sadness, various illusory enchantments of my youthful days. In particular I r•P‘ected, in reference to those wan derings of mine, in the course of which I had gathered together so many records of hy.gone good and evil, that there was one district of my country, to me associated with many interesting recollections, which I had not visited for above twenty moralising and regretful years. " And yet, several times of late, I had ventured towards the exterior margin of this peculiar spot, and had traced out, by the help of fancy, the green finials of Roar water ; and even seen against the evenine sky the em battled turrets of old Carloghie, rising venerable o'er its sweeping wo.ds; reminding me of promising fancies that hail ended in nothing, and hopes whose vety recollection lay in the mists of oblivion. But more than a Pisgah sight of these well-known burghs, it neither answered my pride, nor my prudence to take ; for, occurrences had happened to myself which deeply moved my feelings—and I would not be the first to seek out those who sought not me, nor run the hazard of meeting with one, whos• pre• *once could only stir up most painful thoughts. Many a tale I have told of the loves of others—arid how the young were tried in reg ird to their heart's wishes, and the old were disappointed in the ambitions of li e. But the simple •gotisrrs of my own experience, and Low 1 was vexed a , the heart concerning a certain female, it does not become me to open out to the world. " The dismal time of the year was yet at its worst, for it was one dreary and dropping afternoon in the dark month of January, when these sombre musings came over my mind like a heavy cloud, reminding the of tendernesses long gone by, and anticipations of joy which had melted sway like the summer's sleet, and lett nothing behind LITERATURE. PRINCIPLES OF POLITICAL EC 0- IV 0 MY,Br G. POULETT &ROPE, ESQ. I.P.A The enlightened Member for S roud has produced a work of which he may well be proud. We do not say that there are not positions in it with which we disagree, and to which we may on a future occasion refer, but it so abounds in sound principle that we should be well content to see the many now guiltless of any political knowledge whatever imbued with its contents. No man adopting the whole of Mr. Scrape's principles can make a very bad citizen. The work is well timed, and the author is conscious of the fact. Having spoken of the light, un substantial, objectless nature of the education which was sufficient in past times for those who had nothing to do but spend a fixed income, Mr. Scrope says, " But the thirst of the people for knowledge is not to be slaked at such fountains. Those whose daily la bour wins their daily bread, with whom comforts are scarce, and necessaries not abundant; whose very means of ex istence are in the highest degree precarious,—this class no sooner begins to read, to think, to reason, and to inquire, than their reading, their thoughts, their reasoning, and their inquiries run into channels of vital interest to them selves, and immediately connected with their own posi tion. • • • • " The prevailing stream of thought and argument sets towards questions of deeper moment, of more urgent and immediate bearing on the interests of mankind. A strong, though as yet scarcely recognized feeling has in fact begun to pervade society, that the well-b-ing of its component members is the object most deserving of its a.tention, and should be its fist and most prominent study ; that the physical and mental happiness of man may be most mate rially influenced by his social arrangements ; and that t h ese a rrangements are susceptible of great and indefinite, tnfiniinteeiaisne of h a ppinessplovetnen improvement, to the individ ua l s united, so as to brin g a b ou t a p ro • if p n o rt ioot infinite re o a under them, by the simple application to their study ant perfection of the same sagaci ty, foresight, a nd p owers o f re a s oning, which have effectea such prodigious advances in the arts and sciences. " This feeling exhibits itself in the political excitement which more or less pervades every nation of Europe ; anti still more in the subjects discussed by the periodic a l pr ess of every state where freedom of discussion is allowet. The questi o n s agitated in all assemblos—mdeed, wherever two or three are gathered together—in the hovel no les. than in the palace—in the village pot-house, as in the brihiant circles of metropolitan rank anti fashion—in the factory, as well as the club—h ive a direct practical rela tion to the constitution and and interest of society. The conduce, the chtracter, and the structure of government , . and legislaturee—the nature and probable results of laws to be enacted or repealed—taxation, the public debt, poor ) laws, free trade—the condition and prospects of the grew leading interests of the state, agricultural, commercial, anti them, but a yearning of the heart. As I looked at the leafless trees . round my dwelling, through whose naked 'toughs the cold wind of winter was mournfully whistling; and bethought me of my barren bachelor sterility, left at this late time of life without en object on which to let out the sympathies of my nature; and observed bow the naked tre es , like myself, stretched forth their bald arms towards the heavens, waiting for the genial days of spring life, whi c h would soon return to them, but never again to me —the weakness of feeling broke out upon me, as it had tieen the dissolving clouds; and, like Racbael in the Scrip ture, I wept for my children becauge they were not." Since the above was written we have learned, with sincere regret, that Mr. Picken has fallen a victim to his severe intellectual exertions. A fortnight since he was suddenly attacked with paralysis, from which he was slowly recovering, when, on Saturday morning last, a second attack proved fatal. lie has left a wife and seven children, all of whom, we fear, are but scantily provided for. Mr. Galt, however, has under taken the superintendence of his unpublished papers, which, if they be equal in excellence to those already before the public, cannot fail to meet with a large circulation. Mr. Picken lived beloved, and died lamented. - ----- - GERMAN PAPERS. CoNsTANTINOYLE, OCT. 25.—According to accounts from Aleppo of the 10th and 16. h of September, Ibrahim Pacha is engaged in draining the marshes at Alexandrette, in which undertaking seine 1,000 workmen are employed. His object is to purify the air of that country, which would be a great advantage to navigation, as the harbour of Alexandrette is the only safe one during the winter season. The inhabitants of Mount Libanus, and of the territory of Naplous, are said to have refused to comply with the order for delivering up their arms. It is reported that the Arabs had returned to the neighbourhood of the strong castle of Mrsirib, three days journey from D.tnascus, and that they had defeated the Egyptian Cavalry sent against them. Great sensation had been excited in Syria by the sudden absconding of Selitn Bey, one of the principal and most distingui-lied Generals of Ibrahim's army. People bewilder themselves in conj.ctures respecting the motives that in• duced him to this unexpected step. (S lint B. y and some other officers of Ibrahim's suite arrived at Constantinople in the beginning of October. Accounts from Candia, which come down to the 9 , 11 October, say that Mehemet Ali's Seraskier had, by the advice of the Consuls of France anti Russia, signified to the insurgents that the inhabitants of the island should be subject only to the charadoch (poll tax) of four, eight, and sixteen piastres per held, and should pay no taxes but those which were usual under the direct sovereignty of the Porte. They are also to be at liberty to sell their pro perty, and to emigrate to whatever place they choose ; but the Greeks do not trust the-e promises, and the less so as the Consuls of France and Russia would not undertake to pl e dge themselves to the fulfilment of them. The incur gents still remained assembled in Mornitz, though the Seraskier had repeatedly commanded them to disperse. On the 2d October Admiral Alalcoltu came to Soda, as it seems, to lend his assi-tance towards the termination of this dispute. His endeavours were, however, unavailing, and he 1.-ft Candia much dissatisfied with the Greeks. Tie latest accounts from Candia announce the arrival of the Egyptian squadron under Ostnar Paella, who, it is said, having landed his troops, took a village by storm, and dispersed the rebels assembled in it. Letters direct from Alexandria, dated 2d October, say, " As soon as the Viceroy heard of the insurrection which broke out in Candia af. er his departure, he ordered part of his fleet, which was ready for sea in the harbour of Alexandria, to sail, and gave instructions to his admiral, o.toar Pacha, P ositively enjoining him, as we are as sured, to put down the insurrection in Candia at any price. This squadron sailed on the 2811 Septt-mber. The Vice roy has since hired transports to convey troops, to the number of four or six thousand men, to Candia, which will make the Egyptian force in the island amount to twelve or fourteen thousand turn. The Pacha seetrs to have been induced to send this reinforcement, by tl e report that part of the Candiat Turks have joined the Greeks." Differences have arrisen respecting the trinute to he paid to the Porte by Mehemet Ali. The Porte demands that the Pacha shall for Egypt pay five years arrears, at 10,000 pulses (the purse at 500 Turkish piastre.), and 10,000 purses for the Paehalick of Syria► for two years arrears, at the rate of 20,000 purses per annum. Mehemet Ali, boa ever, will not hear of the ptyment of arrears, and offers the 30,000 purses (about 750,000 Spanish piastres) for Egypt, Candia, Syria, and A iana, only from the be ginning of the next year of the 'leeks. Edliam Effendi, the Commissioner of the Porte, who is intrusted with the r.gulatinn of this affair, not feeling him-elf authorised to accede to these proposals of the Paella, has sent a Tartar from Alexandria to Constantinople for the Sultan's co:n mands.—Austrian Observer, Nov 16. ON COMBINATION.—No. 11. EFFECT 'spoil IN!) UST RY—MACHINERY --MANUFACT UR E and upon the LA- B 0 URER S. Combinations of ..orkmen have undoubtedl% had the effect of keeping up wages, and yet have. produced, and are producing, consequences tha• threate❑ the future welfare of industry, to which it is impossible that too close attention can br paid. The master manufacturers who have a large capital invested in building and machinery, to which long continued idleness is ruinous, dare not make deductions in the wages of their hands to meet the occasional depression in the markets, and to counteract the low rate of profit on all manufactured articles. The payment of spinners, weavers, and others engaged in thp cotton trade, has varied much less during the last twenty years than is generally imagined, and in many cases has increased rather than lessened. In 1810 a spinner, working at what is called a stretcher, earned 255. 10d. per week; in 1830 th, same man earned 305., and this notwithstanding :he manufactured articles have in some cases Fallen 30, 50, 100, 200 per cent. This has arisen from the extraordinary improvement in machinery, and the consequent increased amount of production, so that although the labourer has still but two hands, he is enabled to superintend an improved machine, which turns out a triple quantity of work. The masters being at issue with their men, and knowing what enormou loss they must suffer from a " strike," which would follow a reduction of wages, have bent all their energies to produce machines and in crease the speed of their engines, to meet the difficulties of the markets. That gigantic servant of all-work, the steam-engine, is ever ready to supply power, a power differing from human power in this, that it never tires, and, being unreasoning, never rebels. Combinations, there fore, among the operative manufacturers have kept up wages, hut have also been mainly instru. mental in giving life to a rival, which is hourly growing more independent of their assistance. this has led to an evil which has fallen heavily upon the masters, namely, over-manufacturing and gluts, which have pushed down prices at particular junctures far below a proper standard, and from this they have seldom been able to rally, but have been forced to keep up a rate of production beyond a healthy demand, for here, as in the first instance, the men have withstood all compromise. This has necessarily had a tendency to force production. A master em ploying a certain number of hands, and a certain value of machinery, makes ten or twenty thou sand pieces of calico per week, and finds his profit so limited as barely to pay his expenses. He increases the power of his engine, improves the construction of his looms, adds three or more picks or movements to their rate of work. ing, pays the same price for the raw material, and employs the same number of hands, is doubly strict in requiring good work, and now turns out one fourth more calico, which we will suppose he sells at the same rate, and he gains a profit. But the same circumstances attend other masters, they produce more and the market is overstocked. Prices fall, for buyers have as accurate a knowledge of the state of things as sellers, and the same process is repeated again and again. The minimum of selling-prices must however arrive, though it is difficult to say how far mechanical improvements may extend, and then it is that the struggle between masters and men must be decided. These have been the effects of combinations upon machinery and upon manufacture, namely, the establishment of a permanent low rate of profit, and a constant tendency to over produc tion. These have reacted upon the men in the following manner :—the increased siz. of thr machines and their increased speed have called for a double portion of labour, and an exactness and quickness of attention, amounting to inces sant occupation, to a demand on the part of the master of an improved quality of work, and to enforce this, the imposition of heavy fines on all flaws or slight damages, which flaws and damae;es in many cases ate unavoidable, and thus securing a draw back equivalent to a reduction of wages. Another consequence has been turn outs, of strikes, in which thousands of workmen have abandoned their employment, rather than sub mit to a slight, and in some instances, a neces sary reduction of wages. Some of those " strikes" have continued for several months, and have gone nigh to destroying the manufacturing capital of the districts e Inch have been involved in them. A mongst other instances of the con sequences, Macclesfield may be pointed out ; the relractGry spirit of the men engaged in the silk trade—the staple of the town—having driven the capital and enterprise to Manchester in a very great mea , ure. D uring these " strikes" a degree at mi ery has been suffered by the operative, ' which language cannot describe, the wretched pit ance doled out from the Union fund being quite insufficient to prevent famine and disease from inflicting their bitterest woes upon the deluded people. Nor have their interests suf fered alone. The shopkeepers, whose trade is dependent upon their earnings, have been in volved in equal distress, whilst enormous loss has been sustained by the masters. To support life, the workmen have been compelled to con tract debts, to pawn their furniture and clothing, so that when eventually they returned to work it has required months of the most painful sacri fices to pay them. During these periods the orderly and indus trious artizan having been driven by the fact of the Union to starvation, and seeing the seeds of a constant recurrence of similar disasters, has both abandoned his trade and his country, and carried his skill to America, and several mills in that country can be pointed out, the heads of which are composed chiefly of emigrant turn outs. The masters too in their endeavour to escape from the ruin attendant upon their capital and machinery lying idle, have encouraged emi grations from agricultural and other districts, and thus produced a surplus population, and an excess of labourers. Not only have these depressions driven away in numerous cases the better disposed labourers, but they have also occasionally forced capitalists to abandon their particular branch of trade, and in some instances have induced them to carry away their skill, capital, and enterprise into foreign countries, disgusted with, and utterly incapable of; managing their turbulent hands. The truck and cottage systems are both the re sults of a low rate of profit, and from the impossi bility of ;:ringing wages down to something like a par with them, the master becomes a retail shopkeeper, or builds cottages; the workmen are expected to purchase the necessary articles of daily consumption at his shop, and to inhabit his houses. In both cases he makes no bad debts, and secures an enormous profit, the pay ment for rent and goods being punctually sopped in their wages.

The moral effects of combination still remain to be considered as well as the interest of lie public. Nov. 25, 1833. WHITTLE HARVEY, ESQ., M.P.—The BRUSSELS PAPERS.

SPORTING EXTRAORDINARY.-0a Thurs day last, a gentleman or Kiogaten Went eut coursing with ',race of greyhounds, and whilst besting some gorse bushes (in a large field near Tuthil Firm, in this county), started a tine fox, which rin between the legs of the is sner f the does, who immediately let the greyhounds loase at reyntril.

Amongst other courses which succeeded, were two of rasher a novel description. A hare was started, and after run of at least two miles, with the dogs el .se upon her, came to a hedge fence, when she suddenly disappear. d. Several fields distant, another hare wits started, which, after a severe run, took the same direction as the former, and also disappeared at the same spot. On a close exa mination of the fence, a hole was discovered, communicat ing with a drain, in which it was supposed the hares tnti , t have taken refuge. The drain was opened, and to the surprise and gratification of all present, both hares wero found there, and afterwards separately coursed and killed, —Hereford Times.
