LITERATURE. THE FRENCH ENGLISH DICTIONARY. Br N. G. DUFIEF. This is without exception one of the most complete and beautiful works of the kind we have for a long time seen. The author's name as reviser of a dictionary would of itself have been sufficient to sell it ; but M. Dufief has here pledged his reputation upon having com piled a Dictionary beating all its predecessors. We are told in the title-page that it contains 30,000 terms, names, &c., not in any other lexicon. Of course, we have not been able completely to verify this minute calculation, but we have examined the parts which are more particularly pointed out as new, and can vouch for the exceeding care and labour which must have been bestowed upon them. One depart ment of this work fills up an hiatus which has long occasioned great embarrassment even to tolerably good Anglo-French scholars. We mean that part which contains the Dictionary of French words introduced since the com mencement of the Revolution. They amount to nearly four hundred. The readers of the modern history of France, or of French news papers, will be the persons best able to appre ciate this part of the work. The typography is every way worthy of the matter it embodies. It is beautiful in the extreme, and must have put the author (who we see has had it printed on his own account) to an enormous expense. This work is complete in itself, and will answer the purpose of all who wish to render French into English very well ; but we trust that Mi Dufief will meet with sufficient encouragement to induce him to publish a fellow volume of an English and French Dictionary. THE BOTANICAL REGISTER, OR ORNAMENTAL FLOWER. GARDEN AND SHRUBBERY. BY PROFESSOR LINDLEY. NEW SERIES, NO. IX. OF VOL. VI. Dr. Lindley, through the medium of this work, is imparting more rational enjoyment to a large and daily increasing portion of our female nobility than can be well conceived. Its effects, indeed, are not confined to the gardens and terraces of the country ; our fair friends of the metropolis itself vie in the cultivation of this delightful pursuit. How rare is the house we visit which does not boast of its conservatory, greenhouse, or plant-room ! The cheapness, superior elegance, and great talent, which are united in this periodical, render it at once generally attainable and coveted. The number before us contains a fine specimen of a genuine epidendrum, possessing so delicious and power ful a fragrance, that, when it was unpacked, the whole air of the room became perfumed as if a basket full of violets and roses had been scattered over the floor. It is a native of South America, contributed by Mrs. Harrison, of Liverpool. It is thought to be the most in teresting species yet figured; for it is not only handsome, singular, and fragrant, but its flowers are very durable, remaining in perfection for at least a fortnight. " Clamony Anthocerus," a New Holland shrub of easy culture, propagated by cuttings, and flowering in May and June : " Sessile-leaved Calceolaria," an herbacious shrub from Valparaiso, growing vigorously in the open borders; " Hibiscus Splendens" from New Holland, flowering in August, and in reality propagated by cuttings; it is described as the king of all the known Australian plants, These are all beautiful ; but decidedly the most lovely one of the number is the "Purple Peta nia," a native of Buenos Ayres, and, like all other herbacious plants from the same country, is quite hardy, requiring only slight protection in severe frost. There is, perhaps, no plant yet in our gardens which is quite so handsome as this ; even the Verbena Chamcedrifola, supe rior as it is in colour, must yield to it in point of general beauty. It forces well. Grown in a greenhouse, with its prostrate branches tied to the bars of a trellis or wire screen, it soon covers a space three feet square with its leaves and flowers, and so be comes a striking object before any of the hardy border flowers have begun to expand. Planted singly against a wall or fence in the open ground, it is also a striking ornament ; but it is only when collected in a large bed in the open air, and allowed to entangle and interlace its branches, till every piece of soil is concealed, that its whole splendour is developed. It then produces, from August to October, a succession of its purple blossoms, which are yielded in such profusion, and of so bright a colour, as to render the spot where it grows almost too bright to look upon. It is readily increased by cuttings. THE MONTHLY RE VIE TV. This Magazine, in its contents, abides by its title. They consist entirely of reviews ; and as they are, for the most part, of books which have already passed through our own hands, we are pleased to see that our own opinions are, for the most part, backed by the judgment of our more laborious contemporary. FOREIGN QUARTERLY REVIEW. As the subject of national education is now growing in interest with the public, the Editor of this periodical has wisely selected it for his opening—or to speak professionally, his lead ing—article, which is founded on " Cousin's Report of the Prussian System of Education," and strongly advocates the necessity and practi cability of some such System being introduced among us. The public education of Prussia consists, it seems, of three degrees. Ist. Pri mary, or elementary instruction, destined for children of the lower and middle orders. 2d. Secondary instruction, communicated in schools called the gymnasia. 3d. The highest instruc tion communicated in the universities. Com petent masters are selected to superintend each of these separate branches of the system ; an d , in order that they may discharge their duties with zeal, they are handsomely remunerated by the State. It is gratifying to read of the length to which education is carried in Prussia : " All parents," says the Reviewer, " are bound by law to send their children to the public elementary schools, or to satisfy the authorities that their education is sufficiently provided for at home. The obligation in question eaten d not only to parents and guardians, but to all persons w have power over children, such as manufacturers and masters of apprentices, and applies to children of both sexes, from their seventh to their fourteenth year complete. Twice a year the school committee and the municipal authorities make a list of the chil.lren in their district whose parents do not provide for their education, and require the attendance of all who are within the prescribed age. This attendance is dispensed with if satisfaction is given that the children will be properly instructed else : where ; hut the parents are, nevertheless, bound to contri bute to the school to which their children would naturally belong. Lists of attendance, kept by the schoolmaster, are delivered every fortnight to the school committee." We hope shortly to see some such system as this introduced into England, for it is humiliat ing to the national vanity to think, that a country which boasts itself to be the birth-place of freedom, and the very fountain head of European civilization, should be so far behind one of the most despotic kingdoms in the world. No honest Government need ever be afraid of over-enlight ening the community. It has everything to hope from a well-instructed people—everything to dread from an ignorant one. In fact, the zeal with which they encourage a system of national education, is one of the surest tests the governed can have, of the uprightness and sa gacity of their governors. Lords Brougham and Durham are both warmly in favour of such a system, which, notwithstanding the difficulties with which—as the Edinburgh Review some what too lugubriously assures us—it is beset ; notwithstanding the opposition it bids fair to encounter from the two extremes, of Church - men on the one hand, and Dissenters on the other, cannot but be eventually successful. " History of Modern Italian Freedom," at the very first glance, reads very much like a bull. 0 Modern Italian Freedom !" Where is it, when Austrian satraps ride rough-shod over the country, from one extremity to the other ? Where even thought is enslaved, and free speaking is a sure passport to the dungeon, and perhaps the scaffold ? But the " Modern Free dom" of Italy closes with the eighteenth century, and it is in this light the Reviewer has regarded it. Baron d'Haussez's " Great Britain in 1833" is severe, but just. The poor Baron has been sadly mauled by his English critics. His frequent flippancies and misstatements have drawn down on him such rigid castigation, that he may almost cry out with Cain, " My punish ment is greater than I can bear !" The essay on " Egyptian Antiquities" displays much research, on a subject hacknied, indeed, but apparently inexhaustible. The article on " Animal Magnetism" is an able, unflinching exposé of one of the most whimsical humbugs ever yet palmed on public credulity as science. It is, we are informed, as old as the clays of Cromwell, being first practised by a Mr. Valentine Greatrakes who performed " marvellous cures" merely by the " stroking of his hands." Hell, a Jesuit—a somewhat hete rodox name for a priest !—revived the system in the year 1774, since which time it has lan guished, and is nearly, if not quite, extinct• Mirabcau," though the periodical journals, Quarterly and Monthly, have nearly worn the subject threadbare, is full of interesting matters. In point of style, the article is far superior to the generality in this Review. It is the choice handy-work of a practical and accomplished mind. THE GARDENER'S DICTIONARY. Since chymical science has mixed itself up so largely with agriculture, books of gardening books of all kinds treating of the cultivation of the soil, have been obliged to succeed each other almost as rapidly as works of chymistry them selves. We are not therefore surprised to see a ninth edition of Miller's Gardener's Dictionary announced. It is to be published in four vo lumes, in numbers. The first number is now before us, and we are pleased to bear our testi mony to the extent of the research displayed in each article. We must, however, recommend purchasers to take care that their pages are perfect, for in the number sent to us, the binder has done anything but take example from the correctness of the text, or the beauty of the typography. NARRATIVE OF VOYAGES TO EX PLORE THE SHORES OF AFRICA, ARABIA, AND MADAGASCAR. 2 VoLs. These are the long expected volumes, detail ing the result of the survey of his Majesty's ships Leven, Barracouta, and smaller vessels, under the direction of Captain Owen. We must confess that, as a book of voyages, the work before us has created a feeling of disap pointment ; not that interesting matter is not to be met with, but that it is diffused over too large a surface. Much is not expected from the narrators of a voyage like that performed by the Leven and Barracouta, and much should not have been attempted to be rr.ade of it. A continual repetition of the same barbarian cus toms wearies and disgusts instead of entertain ing. Of the merit belonging to the few hydro graphical details given in these volumes, we are not competent to judge ; but that such a survey was much wanted no one can pretend to doubt. Many lives have been lost in the course of the discharge of the arduous duties which devolved upon the expedition ; ito less than those of two-thirds of the officers, and one half of the crews of the different vessels having fallen vic tims to fever. The only consolation under auch a melancholy sacrifice is, that the labours of the heroic dead may be the means of saving the lives of many of their fellow creatures. Towards the conclusion is the following modest and brief summary of the tremendous labours of the expedition : " Few words will express the extent to which hydro• graphical knowledge has benefitted by our labours. Dur ing the five years which we had been absent, we had traced about thirty thousand miles of coast line, which was transferred by measure to paper, occupying nearly three hundred large sheets. Most of the details of this work were before but imperfectly known, and many we were entirely ignorant of; so that at one view it is shown in how great a degree navigation has profitted by the ex pedition. But, to form a just idea of the magnitude and character of the work, the charts and plans made during rthoes i vo n y er a ts g aen e cof should t ould be referred to, n ear l y th e w h o l e 01 which w ere f urn i s h e d to the Admiralty in duplicate.

The KING and Princess AUGUSTA took an airing in a carriage and four yesterday, after they had attended Divine service at the Palace Chapel. They drove, as usual, along the Cliffs, and prolonged their excursion to a late hour in the evening, to the great satisfaction of al, classes with whom they mingled. Her MAJESTY, with the Countess HowE, heard Divine service yesterday afternoon at Sr. George's Chapel, when an impressive discourse was delivered by the Rev. Mr. ANDERSON. The KING honoured the Earl of Emmtorr with an audience yesterday, and, exclusive of the Suite and House hold, Colonel and Airs. Wynyard were the only guests at the Royal table. The calls at the Palace yesterday were comparatively few, comprising merely the following :—Lord FITZROY SOMERSET, Mr. F. and Lady AUGUSTA SEYMOU R, Sir GEORGE and Lady TEASDALE, Mr. and Mrs. VERSCHOYL, and Mr. GEORGE MURRAY. COURT CIRCULAR. Count .I3JORNSTJERNA, the Swedish Minister, the Che valier DE VIAL, the Spanish Minister, and Count JENISON, the Bavarian Minister, transacted business yesterday, at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The Duke of RICHMOND has returned to town; his Grace visited Mr. Secretary STANLEY yesterday, at the Colonial-office. Lord HOLLAND has had an attack of gout in his left arm, from which his Lordship has now nearly recovered. Despatches were sent off last evening from the Colonial office to Lord NUGENT, the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, to the Lieutenant - Governor of Malta ; and to Sir Wm. HousTourr, the Lieutenant-Governor of Gibraltar. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS.

Mr. BUTLER, last night, made his first appearance cn these boards in the character of Hamlet, a part in which, it may he remembered, he made a favourable impression at the commencement of the last Covent-garden season. On the whole, he worthily acquitted himself of the difficult undertaking. His early scenes, we thought, were some what marred by a too boisterous delivery of the text—a fault, however, less perceptible as the play advanced. His interview with the Ghost was successively executed. He was greatly applauded in the play scene, and also in the interview with his mother where he " spoke daggers, but u.ed none." From the applause which attended this performance, we should say that he is ofte❑ likely to repeat it. Mrs. KEELEY played Ophelia, with considerable judgment. The plaintive little snatches of songs were given with great taste and feeling. The Queen of Mrs. EGERTON, and the Ghost of Hamlet, by Mr. EGERTON, are performances too well known to need de scription here. The tragedy was throughout received with great applause by a very respectably filled house. THE ARMY. (Froth the Limerick Chronicle of Wednesday.) Ciptiin Costley and a detachment of the 37th depot have returned from Cork to this garrison with a large store of ammunition. The division of artillery in this garrison move to Ril lingcollig on the 10th of next month, to be replaced here by a party from bland-bridge, Dublin. Ye-terday the depot of the 77th Regiment, under the command of Major Ramsey, marched on from Fermoy for Middleton, to mbark on board the Romney for Ports mouth. The _Romney also conveys the depots of the 58th 65th, and 97th to Portsmouth. On Wednesday at a very short notice, Major-General Sir Thomas Arbuthnot, K.C.8., made his half-yearly in. spectio❑ of the Royal Marine forces stationed at Spike Island, under the command of Lieut. -Colonel Parke, C B. Immediately after, the depot companies of the 97th Regi ment under the command of Major Tyler, were formed for the inspection of the gallant General. The Alajor-Gene ral afterwards visited the barrack-rooms, hospital, &c. Yesterday the depots of the 58th and 76th Regiments were inspected by Major-General Sir T. Arbuthnot at Buttevant. This day he inspects the corps at Fermoy. Monday last two companies of the 27th Regiment, Captain Manly's and Major Thorpe's, with Lieutenant Vereker and Ensign Sparkes, marched from Enniskillen for Cavan, to relieve Captain Johnston (grenadiers) and Captai❑ Fulton's (sth) companies stationed there for some time past. The latter companies ; with their Captains, and Lieutenants Durnford and H. Butler, marched into En niskillen. The whole of the 47th Regiment are stationed at Mul lingar, excepting nue company at Tu!latmore. Yesterday the depot of the 25th Regiment or King's Borderers arrived at Glasgow, and embarked o❑ their route to Drogheda. The centre district (Dublin) has received instructions to recruit for 250 men for British regiments in India. Captain Carnegie has resumed the command of the squadron of 9th Lancers at Gort. On Monday, the 4th inst., a General Assem bly of the Academicians was held at the Royal Academy of Arts, in Sumerset.house, when Mr. John Gibson and Mr. Thomas Uwins were elected Associates of that Institution. TORY PERSECUTION.--To such an extent i s party politics carried at Ashburton, that a Tory inn keeper sent to the family surgeon to say, that if his father went to a Whig dinner he should discharge him. The father took no notice of the impudent threat, which caused the dismissal of the son, although the wife of the innkeeper was within a few days of confinement, and was so affected that it nearly cost her her life—she is now past danger:—Exeter Times. Miss Hollywood, eldest daughter of the late Sir John Hollywood, Bart., is about to be united to Captain F. Barne, the late M.P. for Dunwich. The family of the Gallant Officer inherit large possessions in Suffolk. The house at present occupied by Charles Mathews, the comedian, in Great Russell-street, was the mansion in which the present Duke of Bedford was born ; it was at that period the residence of the same Marquis of Tavistock alluded to in the Letters of Junius. Two of the Aldermen of East Retford re signed their gowns on Saturday se'nnight, a third Alder man retired on Monday; and a fourth on Wednesday. Of co urse a co ns id era bl e sensation prevails in the borough. Three gentlemen of the Society of Friends are about to make a voyage of pleasure to the South Sea Islands. The sloop Francis Freeling, 102 tons, late in the Harwich packet service, has been fitted up for the voyase. A new system of regulating the nightly watch, by means of watch clocks, has been brought into operation i n several towns in the country, apparently with complete success. A Norwich paper says, " The new system of watching, which commenced in the great ward of Man croft on the 14th nit., had been found to work well. The clock pulling by the men on their beats has been regularly performed with compa ra ti ve l y b ut f ew om i ss i ons , and those s atisfactorily account e d f or . The new system h as this reat advantage over all other systems—that it compels the watchmen to be moving in every direction all over the town from the time they commence their watch at night ill they leave it in the morning." If this paragraph be 'rue, watch clocks would douhtle.a form a very excellent .übstitute for at least a part of the formidable array of tiperintendents and insp,ctors connected with the metro politan police. The inhabitants of the parishes who com plain of the heavy police rate would do well to inquire into he matter. REVISING BARRISTERS.—It is understood that befs,re the next registration a general meeting if all the barristers employed will be held, for the pur pose of comparing their notes of disputed cases, discussinz their various decisions, and deciding upon the correct interpretation of the Reform Act ; the result to he ultimately submitted to the consideration of a certain number of the Judges, whose decision is to be held as binding on the whole body of revising barristers.—Lin colnshire Chronicle, VERY MALAPROPOS.—A certain turf Ba ronet, who had been struck with the charms of a pretty file de chambre of his lady's, lately stumbled on her on the staircase, and could not resist the temptation of im printing some kisses, which the damsel cordially returned. Flushed with amorous excitement, Sir " By Jove, Susan, your lips are sweeter than your mis tress's." " Lord, Sir, (said the blushing soubrette, with the greatest naivete,) only think ! why now if John, my lady's own man, does not say the same." The Baro net's courage cooled down to zero. LIEUTENANT JOHN SHlP.—Thisgentleman, whose autobiography excited some considerable s , nsation in the military circles a iew years since, has lately bee❑ elected to the situation of governor of the workhouse at Liverpool, the emoluments of which are nearly 500/. per annum ; in addition to which, Mrs. Ship, the wife of the Lieutenant, has been appointed matron, with a salary of 1501. It will be remembered that Lieutenant Shipp rose from the ranks; be greatly distinguished himself in the Burmese war, and led the forlorn hope three dotes at the siege of Bhurtpore under Lord Combermere. On Saturday last, a man and his wife arrived at Frampton•on-Severn, accompanied by their dog, a donkey, a goose, and two hens ! the whole of the party having travelled from Warwickshire for the purpose of being dipt in salt water, to escape the dreadful effects of the scratches or bites of a mad cat,—Bristol Gazette. The value of the cargo of the Cambridge, Captain Barber, from Singapore, discharged last week in the St, Katharine's Docks, has been estimated to be be- tween 300,0001. and 400,0001. It consisted of upwards of 21,000 packages, making, according to the East India C,mpany's scale of comput Ition, about 1,350 tons, which were landed and housed by the Dock Company in 31 hours. It is said of Vincente Mariner, a Spanish poet, that he has left behind him 360 quires of papers full of his own compositions, in a writing so exceedingly small, and so exceedingly bad, that no person but himself could read it. Ancient Rome was 29 feet below the present existing city. London was 16, 18, and even 20 feet ; and Bath 14 to 16 feet. In the reign of Nero two thirds of Rome were consumed by fire, but it afterwards contained 43,000 houses, and one of its aqueducts extended 60 miles.—Arnold'a Magazine of Fin. Arts. AN IRISHMAN WHO NEVER ATE A Po- TATOE !-It is perhaps one of the most singular facts of a trivisl:nature, and we state it, upon undoubted authority, that the late John Pollock, Esq., of Mountainstown, al though an Irishman, never ate a potatoe. He had no antipathy whatever, he used to say, to potatoes, but so it happened that from his earliest recollection he never remem bered having even tasted one.—Dublin Paper. A short time ago Lord W. P. Clinton, fourth son of his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, was entered as a Nobleman at Christ Church, in this University ; and it may be mentioned as a singular circumstance that thir • are four sons of his Grace who are now wearing gold tufts in the above college, viz., the Earl of Lincoln, Lord C. P. Clinton, Lord T. P. Clinton, and Lord W. P. Clinton.— Oxford Journal. The property of the late Hannah More has bee❑ sworn in the Prerogative Court under 30,0001. The 1,0001. bequeathed by Miss Martha More, payable on the death of her sister, has been since paid to the British and Foreign Bible Society. DEATH of CALVIN EDSON.—It is stated, on the authority of the Woodstock Courier, that Mr. Calvin Edson, well known as the " Living Skeleton," died a few days since in Randolph, Vt. It is added that his body was taken from the tomb the night after its in. terment, and it is rumoured that some young men belong ing to the medical class at Hinover are suspected, and two of them have been arrested for the offence.—New York Spectator, Oct. 10. The damage occasioned by the inundation . 3n the environs of Perpignan is very great at Rives4ltel and Bompas. The loss is computed at 1,500 hectolitres of wine. The river Tech alone occasioned in the commune of Eine a loss of 100,000 f. in agricultural produce, indis pensable to the subsistence of the inhabitants. The Etonians had a " turn-out" on Friday last, possibly in imitation of the " gentlemen cads ts." They sallied forth in a body of between 300 and 400, armed with bludgeons, hammers, and stakes, determined on mis chief. Entering the town they assailed all persons they met with a volley of crackers ; on reaching Thames street, an attack was made on the house of Mr. Fox, to whom they bad owed " a grudge . ' for a twelvemonth, and the work of demolition commenced ; every pane of glass was broken, the goods in the window destroyed, the apprentice compelled to seek safety i❑ another house, and several persons who attempted to interfere ill-treated. Another movement on Saturday evening was contemplated to give Mr. Fox a " finisher," but the masters, having intimation of it, frustrated their designs by meeting them or. the bridge and taking down the names of the ring leaders, in consequence of which eighty of these " young heroes" have been ignobly flogged ! Mr. Fox's damage is estimated at nearly 30/.—Reading Mercury. The Tin Coinage for the present quarter ended at Penzance on Saturday last-1,623 blocks have been coined..— Cornwall Gazette. SILK TRADE.—The silk trade in the neigh bourhood of Manchester is in a miserable state. Many of the weavers are totally without work, and those who have some employment cannot get half enough. The manufacturers say it is on account of the advance in the raw material.—Manchester Guardian. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET. -- On Monday last many of the manufacturers were asking higher prices than on the preceding Monday, and in some cases it was obtained. Low goods went off better than usual; and a few pieces of middle and finer qualities were disposed of. The market was altogether brisker than it has been for several weeks past.—Manchester Guardian. THE APPLE CROP.—A correspondent who has lately been over a part of this county, says, '' the crops of apples, which are now being gathered, will prove as heavy as any ever recollected ; and not only is the pro duce abundant, but the fruit is remarkably sound and healthy. An immense quantity of good cider will therefore be made this year.—Hereford Journal. THE GLOVE TRADE IN WORCESTER.— In this city the glove trade is partaking in that activity which is happily observable in most of our great staple manufactures at this time. It is true that the demand is in some degree owing to the supply of goods being short, in consequence of a considerable number of the work people having employed themselves in Lcp..picking, and other country work ; but we cannot help hoping that the activity in this business will not be temporary. Foreign skins of some descriptions have advanced from 71. to 101. per 100.— Worcester Journal. OPERATION OF THE FACTORY ACT.— We have already announced the names of the four In spectors who have been appointed by Government to carry into effect some of the most important provisions of this Act. The gentleman selected for this district is Mr. Rickards, a partner in the late firm of Rickards, Macin tosh, a❑d Co., the extensive East India merchants, who were obliged to stop payment, a few months ago, in consequence of the bankruptcy of their correspondents in Calcutta. Mr. Rickards has resided some years in India; and to him the public is indebted for an able work upon the resources of our Eastern empire, and the character of the native population. His experience in the world, joined to his acknowledged talents and various acquire ments, peculiarly fit him for discharging the delicate and responsible office of Inspector. His district includes the whole of Lancashire, Cheshire, and the northern division of Derbyshire, having Manchester for its central point. He is daily expected in this town ; for although his duties do not commence for many months, yet certain preliminary inquiries are necessary to prepare him for discharging them with vigour and impartiality.—.Man cheater Chronick. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Another firebrand tea, hissed lorth from Der. -,.. rinane-abbey.

The " riw"‘fo - gr o. ;,, ) in course of immediate exaction, and ifothiiig could be more opportune at such a crisis, and under notorious despondency concerning the result, than that the rint-collector should call in the guardian genius of all fraud and all floundering impudence and qu ickery, and en pidity,—the repeal demon, who has, since the opening of the last session of Parliament, been , I:ffered to lie torpid in his den. We have the agitator, therefore, once more at his conjura tions. He takes for his text the Coercion Billy which, to say truth, in its original form, cram... ing as it did military tribunals throughout tNe I country, for the trial of half-political offences, we ourselves condemned as heartily as himself, though perhaps somewhat less selfishly, and tl.en proceeds to lash away at the Government which introduced that measure, and at the Parliament which passed it, both being marvellously unfit to legislate for true-horn Irishmen. What. is the thing aimed at ? Why, a native Parlia ment ! and this imposter talks of a native Par liament as a shelter from the tyranny of that of the United Kingdom, though the Union which he deprecates was the work partly of that very Parliament which sold itself and Ireland together for half a million of money, and partly of the Roman Catholicfaction, which , o'd the " self-government" of Ireland to the British Mi nister of the day for a promise of early emanci pation ! What should make an Irish House of Commons at this moment more virtuous than its predecessor 0f33 years ago ? A reformed constituency ! Why, whatever the Reform Bill may have done for England, neither it nor eman cipation has enlarged the Irish constituency, compared with what it was after 1793—the 40s. freeholders having, by the Act of 1829, been one and all disfranchised. O'Connell and his pack have been eternally growling at the aboli.' don of the 40s. freeholders, and pronouncing them to be the most patriotic and honest of the nation. If so, how comes it that a Parliament returned by that numerous and incorruptible body was the Parliament which took a bribe of half a million of money to pass the Union and extinguish itself for ever ? If the brave and vir tuous 40s. constituency elected such a venal Parliament, what sort of consistency is there in the man who declaims at once against the Union and against the disfranchisement of the elec tors by whose representatives it was car ried ? Who asserts the inferiority of the new created constituency to the old, and would confide to that comparatively bad elec tive body a trust which was so iniquitously be trayed by their betters ? No, we shall have no repeal of the Union. A motion for a repeal of the Union we must have, indeed, otherwise the very potatoes will turn paving stones to break the head of the faithless and forsworn dema gogue. He says he " nails the repeal colours to the mast :" if he were nailed there with them, it would be a consummation not at all undesira ble. However, when the rint has been got in, and the sporting season is over, we shall proba bly not hear a great deal more about repeal than we have since the Ist of February—the long threatened motion always understood and excepted. The most frightful proof of the real wretchedness of Ireland is that such tricks and such imposters should have been suffered so long to flourish with impunity.—Times. Though the proceedings of the Municipal Commissioners, and the disclosures to which their inquiries lead, are not always of so much importance or singularity as to excite a national interest, they have seldom failed to create a strong feeling of curiosity erd,ths. i cho fi Some taoi mi t me h ee e C t ueo o vn, w nedn i me i r s i sos o tfi rho their iherre srroe close boughs vlliaoevs,eve bw h e a he v en e re e e s ts c ht escaped C Corporations b pe l i d sohi public notice, not because their conduct has been correct, or their honesty unimpeachable, but because their malversation and corruption, though proved or admitted, were on too diminutive a scale to command general attention to their exposure. This observation would appear applicable to the Corporation of Banbury, in Oxfordshire, the recent inquiry into whose conduct by the Commissioners is recorded in the Ox,fbrd Herald of Saturday last. This close body would seem to have done its utmost ti- , obtain a pre-eminence in certain kinds of mismanagement and servility ; but with the exception of its manufacture of Members of Parliament before the Reform Bill, its powers of mischief have been extremely limited. It had no amount of funds to mismanage at all calculated to excite the cupidity of the ccrporators—no trusts to pervert, and little patronage to abuse. The mayor had only about 211. a year allowed him for the expenses of his office, the deputy-recorder received 101. for attending twice at the sessions, and the town clerk 251., with certain fees, for his services. The corporation had no livings or lucrative offices in its gift, being only enabled to appoint a registrar of the court of record and a deputy gaoler to the prison. The whole income of the borough, from all the sources of its revenue, amounted only to 1331.—a sum scarcely sufficient for one tolerably sumptuous corporation dinner. But still, in a small way, this self-elected body attempted oppression,and usurped the powers of Parliament in imposing taxes on the community. Within the last jr,ve years according to some of the witnesseossi,ialaeet.ivder%iv,ihttilbsinaswktaebste lsabtsrrotontueggallyitaccording to r i 0 u o s t h ers, t r o s , a t he practice trade hadof grownryu,p,ofveerxyaicitiji.ulg country peopl e ; b ut un l ess f or the ob to jec t te h d e of th e C omm i ss i oners, the abuse it m a no q a r ub i k ) yi e r e n i ti h Y fo e r might have been perpetuated. But if the corpo ration of Banbury had little revenue to misma nage, they lately showed that they could not safely be intrusted with a more precious deposit, that of justice. It appeared, from a variety of testimony, that they had lately dismissed their Deputy Recorder, Mr. Amos, on grounds purely political, and thus interfered with the in dependence of the judicial functions. There was no allegation brought against this gentle man's fitness for his office ; no suspicion was expressed of his legal qualifications, and no complaint made of his strict attention to his du ties. Mr. Amos himself gave no hint of a wish to retire from the Deputy Recordership, though he did not insi s t upon reta i n ing it. In dis missing him, therefore, the Corporation was guilty of attempting t o influence the course of justice, and t o i n terfere with the duti e s o f a Judge who possessed th e po w er of life and death. It could not be o penly alleged against him as an offence, though it constituted the real ground of his dismissal, that he acted as
