Thiok a work of no ordinary merit, one in deed that augurs well for the great undertaking of which it is a part. If the " Cabinet Cyclo ' pcedia" shall present in its several other depart ments the same happy union of profound know ledge, with skill in composition, its projectors will have reason to congratulate themselves on having supplied a desideratum of the first mag nitude in literature. Who that has looked into the so called " Popular Compendiums," which have of late years issued from the Press—but must have lamented the absence of the essential conditions of a popular compendium—scientific accuracy and intelligibility—in other words, of the Power of conveying solid information in plain energetic language, and in a short space ? Obvious as was the remedy for the defect, it is now, for the first time, at least in this country, steadily acted upon by the conductors of the • " Cabinet Cyclopcedia," who have ensured them selves success, by engaging none but pro found and practised writers on their undertaking. In the present volume, for example, is exhibited a power of condensation of facts, without de priving them of their interesting features, and a vigorous elasticity of style, which extensive re search, long continued reflection and skill in com position—the result of time and labour—alone could impart. It might not be very difficult, perhaps, to find one person equally familiar with the history of maritime discovery—and another equally well versed in the collateral attention necessary to its elucidation—and a third possess ing the same concise and energetic style of ex pression —but we very much doubt the exist - enee of any writer in whom the union of these endowments is so striking as in the author of the present adthirable epitome of the " His tory of Maritime Discovery." As this volume is one which the interesting nature of its sub ject, apart from any merit of execution, would recommend to general notice—it will be hardly necessary for us to bear out our opinion of its merits by more than the following brief extract concerning the origin of the Gipsies : " It is impossible, however, to view in conjunction the names of Sindi and Sigyrim without recalling to mind that extraordinary people, who, under the two general denomi nations of Sluts and Zigani, (the former used in Lithua nia,.the other in Poland, and with slight variations in all •the neighbouring countries,) constitute so numerous a body in the eastern states of Europe. The Gipsies, in .sliort, whose derivation from Western India is now no longer disputed, and whose language, corrupted as it is, 'and alloyed with foreign admixture, would still be not wholly unintelligibl e in some provinces of Hindostan. The Persians also name them Sisech Hindoo, or Black Indians. It is impossible, indeed, to connect this people, historically, with' the ancient Indian colony of the Ma3otis. Their own traditions (which are indeed of little value), and the late date of their appearance in Europe, are both repugnant to such an affiliation. but while mystery still enwraps then proble m of their origin, it is allowable to canvass y means of its solution. It may, however, be affirmed with confidence, that the Indian merchants who were shipwrecked in the Baltic, and presented by the King of the Suevi to Q. Met. Celer, the proconsul of Gaul, were not carried roun d front India to the north of Europe by he ocean, as the ancients imagined, but were voyagers from the Maeotian colony.- " Whether the Sinds or Indians of the Bosphorus ever advanced southwards along the Euxine is a question int . Possible to determine. There were Slots and a Sintic re g i on in Macedonia, and Sintian men, speaking a stranga uguage, wh o i nhabited Lemnos in the time of Homer. (Lint, except their addictioa to the labours of the smithy foe Lemnos was sacred to Vulcan), there is not any Positive indication remaining by which they can be connected with the Sints of Lithuania. But in examin- I ng round the shores of the Euxine those most durable and veracious hours monuments of ancient history, the asrem or of language pre ser v e d i n l oca l names, t h e Ph as i s, arr it is at Present ca ll e d , t h e Push, must necessar i ly est the attention. This river, famous for its connection It_.irth Grecian fable and traditionary golden sands, flowed t O c t! . 4 . h the country of the Colchi. The word Phasis ot % ti ' l j i log a river, and the name Cokhi, are both properly otu er rgio, and stand at no great distance from each dexcrie,tolemy's map of India. When a.Greek poet thi s . t e eolchian Phasis as mixing its waters with othe r ft ,i v : •it evident at once that the Hypanis or some by the in that quarter may have been also called Phasis Sinds of the Alieotis, so that we here again detect .0, grand sourc e of geographical errors, the employment drgeateral terms. The Colchians were supposed by the to be a colony of Egyptians. They practised tit * stars, 4'1(.1-Possessed arts, which, unavoidably, led a people acquainted with the interior of Asia to arrive at that 17pLlusion. Their dark complexion, also, which is noticed „ e _ . ;ruler, seem e d to lend confimation to the popular be- But thoegh the fiction of a colony planted by 7 4 trig on the shores of the Euxine was readily counte titn e ed by the Egyptian priests; it is contradited by tradi of equivalent authority. The religion of the Col ar be lidet, does not seem to have been Egyptian. toperiority above the Greeks in civilisation in the pu tttime of the Argonauts and the poetic age is evinced by th e , e t ation they en j oyed as magicians.

That the Gipsies are de in% ,`! !tom them is a conclusion resting wholly on naked the t:ihties. But whence have these wandering outcasts Po kik 4 , e dition that they have come from Egypt ?

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. A lively, bustling petite comedy, under the title of A Husband's Mistake ; or, the Corporai's Wedding, was last night brought out for the first time at this theatre. The plot turns upon the loves of Count Frederick Lowenstein ( ABBOTT) and a certain invisible Baroness, much talked of in the course of the piece, but who does not form one of the dramatis persona'.. However, her husband, Baron Saidorf(BaßTLEv), does, and fully atones by his activity for the absence of his wife. Previous to the Baroness's marriage, a mutual attachment subsists between her and Frederick. He was supposed to have perished in the field, and his inamorata became the wife of the Baron. Count Lowenstein returns to his native land, and, like many other lovers, desires to enjoy a farewell interview with his mistress. He meets the Baron, with whom he had been previously acquainted, but who is far from suspecting the attachment of the Count and Baroness. On the contrary, Saldoif thinks the Count's views are directed towards Henrietta (Miss E. TREE), a protegtle of the Baroness. A rather amusing scene of equivoque ensues between the Count and the Baron, in which Frederick imagines that the Baro►► has penetrated his secret, and the patties are mutually mystified. Lowenstein privately enters the Baron's house, and endeavours to obtain speech of the Baroness, but is disappointed in his object, and obliged to make his escape through a window of Henrietta's apartment. He is observed by Fritz (KEELEY), a valiant upholsterer and corporal of militia, who is about to be married to Henrietta. Jealousy possesses the mind of the little corporal, whose feelings of suspicion are further excited by Madame Gigot (Mrs. Gums), a milliner skilled in making caps and mischief. The artiste wishes to have the corporal to herself, which is an additional reason with her to embroil him with his mistress. She persuades Fritz to perch himself on a pedestal, from which a grotesque statue has been recently re moved, for the purpose of observing Henrietta's conduct with the Count. The corporal witnesses some equivocal circumstances, sufficient to confirm his suspicions, and renounces his betrothed bride, on the ground of her supposed infidelity. Madame Gigot makes sure of marrying the corporal. Mean while Henrietta, who is aware of the real state of things as respects the Baroness and the Count, prefers suffering under the imputations cast upon her own character to making any disclosure that might compromise the feelings or the honour of her Noble patroness. it shouki be observed, that the attach ment subsisting between Frederick and the Baroness is purely platonic, and that the lady has enjoined her ancient admirer never to approach her until he shall have become the happy husband of some be loved wife, whose tenderness may efface from his breast the traces of an early and disappointed pas sion. The noble constancy and self devotion of Henrietta in the cause of her mistress touches the Count; he offers her his hand. She, who had long indulged a secret attachment for Frederick (secret almost from herself), joyfully accepts the proposed alliance, which has the effect of vindicating her own honour, securing the tranquillity of the Baroness, and removing two or three incipient scruples from the mind of Saldorf—the most confiding of hus bands. The'humour of this ph ce is not remarkable; but the incidents, as we have shown, are light and airy. Above all it is capitally acted—KEELEY'S Corporal Fritz alone is enough to ensure the piece a run. The house was full, but riot crowded. CONDITION OF FINANCES IN SPAIN. The Journal du Connneree of the 3d inst. con tains the following, under the head " Condition of Finances in Spain : " In virtue of the Royal Ordinances of the 24th April and 15th May, 1820, the directing Junta of the finances of Spain have made their report, accom panied with a variety of .statements relative to the condition of the finances of the State. It appears from this report that the average produce of the revenues has amounted, front the year 1814 to the close of 1820, to 431,194,774 reals (about four millions sterling), after deducting the expences of collecting, &c. It should be observed, however, that at that period a good deal of traffic was still carried on in Spain with Peru and Mexico, which, since then, has entirely ceased. The restoration of 1823 has destroyed the little industry which the constitutional system had en couraged, and 20,000 individuals have since aban doned the devouring soil, and have taken refuge in foreign lands. The Mexican Spaniards, whom political events have driven from the continent of America, keep away from their inhospitable country. The amount of property of the latter is estimated at 150 millions of francs, laid out at Paris, Bordeaux, and London. • " In the absence of any published statement re lative to the revenue of a country whose Govern ment is, nevertheless, endeavouring to procure credit abroad, and according to the best information that indirect means can procure, it is impossible to value at more than 380 millions of reals (3 2-3 d millions sterling) the amount of the present revenue of Spoils. The budget of the expenses, which have been as much as possible adapted to the existing order of things, presents the following particulars:— " Royal Household Reals 40,000,000 ( According to M. Garay's statement the • expenses amounted to 56,973,600) " Foreign Affairs 12,000 0 (According to M. Garay, 17,615,692) " War department (According to 111. Garay,372,660,416) " Ministry of Justice (According to M. Garay, 12,046,151) " Ministry of the Marine 800,000,000 11,000,000 80,000,000 ( According to M. Gar5y,183,985,637) " Ministry of Finance, according to the report of the Directing Junta of 1820 150,000,000 Heals 593,000,000 " The Amount of Revenue being 380,000,000 " The Annual Deficit is of " To this amount must he added the debts contracted abroad, as follows: ,o For Arrears of the Royal Loan and the Rente Perpetuelle... 40,000,000 " Reimbursement of the Se- 213,000,000 rice of the Royal Loan 18,000,000 " French Annuities 16,000,000 " English Arrears 75,500,000 Deals 288,500,000 (2 4.fitlis millions sterling). It would seem that it is the Parisians arid the Dutch who are to provide for these accumulating deficits by giving their money against rode: yerpetuelles. _ The whole atiioutit of the public debt of Spain is 16 billions of reals (160 millions sterling). Io the last offieial quotation of the Spanish funds re ceived from Madrid, we find them at the following prices : " Vales 93 per cent. discount. " Vales consolidated B5 ditto. " Bonds of interest due 98 ditto " As for the rentc perpetuelle and the Royal loan, they are not even mentioned, transfers or invest ments in those securities not being practicable in Spain. " Let, then, those who have the temerity to com pare the credit of the Spanish Government to that of any other Government, and whO raise a cry against the warnings given by the French press to those Frenchmen on whose purses Spain still keeps a covetous eye, consider the statement we have here entered into. They may, in so doing, blush at their confidence, their ignorance, or their bad faith." FEMA LE EQUESTRIANS.—The Court Journal of Saturday has a most interesting Paper on the Female Equestrians of the day, in which most of the well known elegantes who grace the Park in the above cha racter are criticised, and their pretensions, in relations to figure, style of dress, equestrian skill, &v., are pointed out and estimated evidently with " a learned spirit of human dealing" in such matters. if the writer of this Paper be a lady, and she rides as well as she writes, it is•.to be hoped she has not ()witted herself among the models she holds up to admiration of this now DO fashionable and favourite art.

(From the Morning Herald City Article.) We some days ago alluded to a report relative to the Bank Directors having prepared one or two mil lions of new one-pound notes, to be ready in case of emergency. This rumour is still believed by many persons, though for our part we must say that we do not attach much credit to it. We do know, however, that they have a very considerable num ber of returned one-pound notes uncancelled, and that these are carefully hoarded in a room set apart for the purpose. Now the question is, why are these " rags" preserved ? The answer is obvious— namely, that the Bank Directors, not looking upon the Small Note Suppression Act to be like " the laws of the Medes and Persians, which change not," anticipate a time when the " one-pounders" may be again wanted, and when Cobbett's Feast of the Gridiron shall be duly celebrated. It is said, in deed, by persons who are generally well informed upon such matters, that the Ministers would rejoice at any occurrence—such as an extraordinary demand for gold, for instance—that would furnish them with a decent excuse for re-issuing one-pound notes. We know not whether this be true; but we must say that in our opinion nothing can be more calculated to produce such a result than persevering in the measure for the reduction of the Fours. The sys tem of running up the prices of Stock, for the pur pose of reducing the rate of interest paid to any particular class of fundholders, is not only unjust in principle; but is fraught with considerable danger to the credit of the country. There never was a greater fallacy than the supposition that it is bene tidal to the finances of the State to keep up its public Securities at a high price. The very reverse is the fact, high prices having the effect of inducing capitalists to invest their money in foreign Funds, or otherwise to employ it in foreign speculations. But, in the present state of our finances, a measure like the one alluded to, is fraught with peculiar danger, unless, indeed, as is reported, a financial crisis would be acceptable to Ministers. That such a crisis would be brought about by even a small portion of the Four per Cent. holders, in case of re duction, demanding gold, is, we think, quite evi dent. At this particular moment, it may, perhaps, be interesting to our readers to give a short account of the suspension of cash payments in 1797. This suspension, it will be recollected, took place in con sequence of the holders of Bank-notes (there being then only about 11,000,000 in circulation) doing that which the Four per Cent. holders now threaten to do—namely, demanding gold in payment for their securities. The instrument by which this memorable act was effected is couched in the following terms:— " At the Council Chamber, Whitehall, February 26, 1797. ' 4 ‘ By the Lords of his M.ijesty's Most Honourable Privy Council. " PRESENT The Lord Chanc. (Rosslyn) I Earl Spencer Lord President Earl of Liverpool (Charles Duke of Portland I Jenkinson) Marquis Cornwallis Lord Grenville Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer." Upon the representation of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, stating that from the result of the in formation which he has received, and of the inquiries which it has been his duty to make respecting the effect of the unusual demands for specie that have been made upon the metropolis, in consequence of ill-founded or exaggerated alarms in different parts of the country, it appears that unless some measure is immediately taken, there will be reason to appre hend a want of a sufficient supply of cash to answer the exigencies of the public service, it is the unatii met's opinion of the Ward that it is indispensably necessary for the public service that the Directors of the Batik of England should forbear issuing any cash in peyinent until the sense of Parliament can • be taken on the subject, anal the proper measures adopted thereupon for maintaining the means of el) ett- lation, and supporting the public and commercial credit of the kingdom at this important conjunc ture; and it is ordered that a copy of this minwe be transmitted to the Directors of the Bank of Eng land, and they are hereby required, on the [pounds of the exigency of the case, to conform thereto until the serve of Parliament can be taken, as aforesaid. (Signed) " W. FAWKENER." It is hardly requisite for us to inform our readers that, in consequence of the above Order in Council, payments in cash were suspended for a period of about thirty years—that is, from the 27th of Fe bruary, 1797, until within the last few years, when the Bdl, commonly called Peel's Bill, was enacted for the resumption of cash payments. T sVe may be dlowed to add, that at the lime the Order in Coun t!' was issued the whole Debt amounted to le,* than '347,000,000, andthe amount ot Bank•notes in cir culation was under 11,000,060 ; whilst at this time he Debt amounts to about 800,000,000, and the amount of Bank-notes in circulation is supposed to be about 20,000,000. CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES. On Tuesday evening►, the 29th ult., Lady F. Leveson Gower received a small and select ploy at her residence in the Park, assembled to witness a dramatic representation, which for the tastefulness of the conception, and the spirit and general exec'. knee of the execution, has been rarely equalled in the annals of private theatricals. The comedy, an unpublished translation from the French, was fol lowed by a musical. arrangement of one of Mrs. Ileums' beautiful ballads, delivered with the aid of scenery and dresses--a novelty which in omisea to open fresh resources to the admirers of ref►ne d and intellectual amusement. The principal parts were supported by her Ladyship, Lord G. 11111, Lord F. Paulett, Mr. 11. Greville, Mr. Jas. Corry, &e•. assisted in the musical department by an Italian professor, master of the admirable band of the 23d. After the performance an elegant •upper was served before midnight, and the company " shut up in measure less contest," departed at an, early hour. Ins i_.x cellency the Lord Lieutenant and the Duchess of Northumberland honoured Lord and Lady Goo er with their presence on this occasion, and among tl.e distinguished audience were also the I)uke of Leinster, Marquis awl Marchioness of lleadfort, Earl Prudhoe, Lord W. Graham, Earl and Coun tess of Meath, Earl and Countess of llowth, Lord E. St. Lawrence, Countess Clanricarde, Lord anti Lady Killeen, &c. &e. On Thursday there was a ball at the V;eereffal Lodge, given by her Grave the Duchess of North umberland, to all the Nobility and Gentry of the metropolis 'and its vicinity. Refreshments of the most costly description, including a superabundance of pines, ices, and champaigne, were served during the evening, and replaced by a standing supper, which ushered in the new year. Theme were present the Marquis and MArrhioness of Downshire, Marquis and Marchioness or Head fort, Earl Prudhoe, Lord Hillsborough, Earl and Countess of Meath, and Lord Brabazon, Lord and Lady Dunsany, Lord and Lady Bingham, Lord and Lady Killeen, Lord and Lady Muskerry, Lord and Lady E. Chichester, Lady C. Latouche, Earl of Howth, Lady Clanrirarde, Lady C. Greville, &c. On New Year's Night there was a bull acid supper given by Lord and Lady F. Leveson Gower to up wards of 200 persons. On all those occasions the ladies were universally dressed in the produce of the Irish loom, in Irish silks, velvets, and tabinets. The Duchess of North utnberland appeared at her own ball in a sups rb dress of white tabinet embossed with gold ; and at Lady F. L. Gower's in a black velvet of Irish mannhc ture. The gentlemen were generally ihessed in tabinet waistcoats, and in coats lined with Ihe same national fabric.—Dublin Morning Register. TRIBUNAL OF VALENCIENNES. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. Miss Rose B— is young, beautiful, virtuous, and without a lover. M. N—, enterprising by character, and cooper by profession, tired of turning only round his cask, and of burning only useless chips, determined one fine morning to allow a legi timate flame to be kindled in his bosom, and in con sequence proceeded to dunce round Miss Rose, and to declare to her the fires by which he was consumed. They fell in love with each other in June, ► hey made themselves a town's-talk in September, and they were to have been married in December, had not fate otherwise decided. Some days before that appointed for their marriage, Miss Rose declares that she has changed her mind : her lover, rendered furious by her misconduct, consults only his despair —and his lawyer. The lawyer advises him to bring an action to recover a compensation in damages for the injury inflicted on his reputation, and for tile expense which he had incurred in hiring and fur nishing a house for his intended bride, and in pur chasing a new suit of clothes for his own proper person. The cause came on for trial on the 23d of last month, and the cooper concluded his plaint, by demanding that the lady, 'who had rendered all this expense superfluous, should be ordered to restore him his money along with his liberty, in order that he might not be exposed to a double grief. To this the lady replied, that the cooper ought not to have proceeded to furnish a cage until he had c.rught a bird to sing within it: and that he might wear the clothes which he had purchased to carry off one bride, for the purpose of wooing and winning another. " Besides," continued the lady, " can I make myself a cloak out of your coati or can I wear with decency the breeches of a man who is not my husband ? Let the plaintiff therefore keep them for his own use, and preserve them for some more fortunate occasion." She concluded, by declaring that she wits not liable, becsuse she had not given the plaintiff a promise in writing. he plaintiff, after denying the lady's law in his replication, proceeded to contend that she ought to indemnify him for the expense of a shawl which he had g iven her, and which she had received as a pledg e o f their mutual love. To this she rejoined that she had a set-off for the cost of a watch which she had purchased for him, and for an umbrella which she had lent him on his last visit, and which he had never returned. The Court having taken into consideration the evidence adduced on both sides, sentenced Miss Rose to pay her former lover 200 francs, in addition to all the cost of prosecuting his suit both at love and at law. The French journalist adds, " This is not much for Miss Ruse, if she gets rid of a bad husband at this price; and not enough for for M. N., if he loses the possession of a pretty woman."
