The " Puck," by Sir Joshua Reynolds, admirably engraved by Marr, is one of the finest things we ever saw. It is truly a Shakspearian sprite. There is no mistaking the strange, wild, arch gleam, half of fun, half of mischief, that lurks in the elf's eye. In this respect it is a true a sprite of the elements. Yet in regarding this picture, we are required—such is the necessity of the case—to concede an extraordinary license to the imagination. We are required to have such unbounded faith, as to believe that the weight of a fat, chubby boy, a mass of material substance, ponderous as a young Hercules, shall not even bend, scarcely even indent, the mushroom—that most delicate and fragile of shrublings—on which he sits as on a footstool. When we are told of this in poetry ; when, for instance, Scott, meaning to convey a fine idea of the light, buoyant figure of Ellen, assures us that " E'en the slight hare-hell ra i se d it s head Elastic from her airy tread," we admit the idea, as one eminently character istic and poetical, and coming within the limits of propriety ; but when a far more exaggerated idea than this is embodied, and (as in the present instance), placed under our very nose, our credulity is shocked, and we regard it not so much in the light of a poetic conception, as of a physical impossibility. Appeals to the mere eye-sight are far more hazardous than those to the fancy. The one makes far more allow ances than the other. When we read in Shakspeare of Puck squatting on a mush-room, we readily concede the point to the poet, but when the painter places the urchin palpably before us, and then bids us believe, we are apt to become stubborn and incredulous. Sir Josuah's "Puck," contains a world of beau ties,— but it is one of those conceptions which belong exclusively to the poet. The painter should have nothing to do with them ; for he is sure to degrade the immaterial to the level of the material. This is " cold criticism" perhaps, as Mr. Cunningham phrases it, but it has at least the merit of sincerity, and is put forth in no disre spectful spirit to Sir Josuah. The remaining portions of these numbers we must notice at some more leisure opportunity. MADAME DE STAEL'S " CORINNE."

On Saturday, February 9, will be published, the Firs Number, price 7 , 1. of T HE NAVAL AND MILITARY GA• ZETTE, and WEEKLY CHRONICLE OF THE UNITED SERVICE. The undertaking here announced is the result of a con viction that has been long entertained, of the necessity for some established medium of communication and intelli gence concerning all matters of interest to the two Martial Services, to appear at shorter intervals than those hitherto adopted. Occasions are incessantly arising, on which the members of two professions, so important in number, connections, and duties, as the Army and Navy, require faci ities for immediate intercourse. These cannot be afforded by the " Monthly Journal," which, during the last five years, has hen recogni-ed as their established channel for subjects and opinions admitting of leisurely discussion and more elaborate treatment. It is, therefore, conceived that a Weekly Paper, which, besides possessing the essential recommendation of more frequent appearance, shall concentrate in its columns every ray of information which the inquirer must otherwise seek in scattered mis cellaneous sources, cannot but be most acceptable to the members of the two Services. In addition to a constant supply of useful information on every subject of a professional nature, THE NAVAL AND MILITARY GAZETTE will include all the im portant features of a Newspaper, so as to present a con densed view of general news, together with the most ample details on the topics constituting its main purpose. The arrangements made for the conduct of this Paper insures the highest professional cooperation and the most valuable contributions from the first Naval and Military sources. Ts be published every Saturday afternoon, by W. Thomas, 19, Catherine -street, Strand ; to whom com►uu nicatioos for the Editor (postage free) are requested to be addressed. ''• • Orders received by all the Newsmen. 53 16% 3% 5 1 4 18 9 25 LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 2, 1833. There are no arrivals this morning from Por tugal. It was reported in the city that, after the Cabinet Council yesterday, important de spatches were sent off by Lord PALMERSTON to the English Consul at Oporto, and Lord WILLIAM RUSSELL at Lisbon, relating to the measures the British Government intended adopting. Great hopes are entertained by Don PEDRO'S party, that Lord PALMERSTON has at length agreed to put an end to the struggle, and acknowledge Donna MARIA as Queen. We hear that the private letters from Mexico of the 13th of December state that there has been severe fighting between the army of Bus- TANIENTE and that of' SANTA ANNA. The former was defeated and submitted. PEDRASSA has been declared President of Mexico. The Vera Cruz Paper of the 15th of De cember contains a long convention made by PEDRASSA and SANTA ANNA tO BUSTA MENTE, regulating a suspension of arms, which BUSTAMENTE accepted. Commissions have, in consequence, been sent to Mexico for its ap proval. We beg to direct the particular attention of our readers to an article in another part of The Sun, extracted from the Morning Chronicle of to-day, relative to the affairs of Jamaica. It is long, but not longer than the importance of the subject warrants. We quite agree in the ob servations made by our contemporary, and thank GOD that the time is now come that we may look forward with expectations, as well as hope, of Colonial Reform. It is one thing to compel one class of our citizens there to do justice to a humbler class, and another thing to sanction abuses in the administration which are equally unjust to both. The Paris papers of Thursday and the Mes sager des Chambres dated yesterday have been received by express. They contain very little news of any political interest. The Carlist jour nals still continue violently to attack the present Government, and accuse it of having acted in the most despotic manner in incarcerating the Duchess of BERRY i❑ the Chateau de Blaye, contrary to all right, as she is the mother of the legitimate heir to the throne, HENRY V. The last accounts from Blaye state that this Princess is fast recovering. The insinuations respecting her illness have proved to be incorrect. As it is known that a certain Count had been her con stant attendant for some years past, the thing was more than probable. Her relea , e is expected soon to take place, on condition that Austria will become responsible that she shall not make any more romantic excursions in La Vendee. A Cabinet Council was held on Thursday, at which the KING presided; Marshal SouLT and all the Ministers were present. They sat in deliberation for several hours, when it appears that the triple alliance between Prance, England, and Austria, was strongly discussed and agreed upon, as the French, and even the Austrian Ministers, now see the absolute necessity of entering into a strong alliance to put down the overwhelming ambition of the Autocrat of RUSSIA. When this treaty is ratified by the three Powers named, the general hope in Paris is, that one of their first steps will be to acknowledge the nationality of Poland, and atone for the disgrace they had brought down upon themselves in allowing Warsaw to fall into the hands. of the Despot. Daily interviews take place between the Aus trian, Prussian, and Dutch Ambassadors, and the Duke de BROGLIE, Minister for Foreign Affairs, for the final settlement of the Belgian question. It is reported that the Dutch Mini- ster had applied to Government to take off the embargo on Dutch vessels ; the answer wag, that as soon as Lord PALMERSTON should notify his intentions to that effect, the French Mini sters would immediately comply. It is ex pected that it will soon be ordered, as the present restrictions are most detrimental to commerce, especially as the Dutch question is now as little advanced, notwithstanding the taking of the citadel of Antwerp, as it was two years ago, and is likely to remain so for some time to come. A despatch has been received by Ministers, that a cessation of arms had been entered into by the Grand SULTAN and IBRAnnt PACHA to give time for consideration what terms were to be agreed upon. Important news may be expected shortly from the East. An express has also been received from the French Consul at Lisbon, who, after having had several interviews with the Count DE SAN TAREM, claiming immediate redress from the Government of Don MIGUEL for the insult offered to the French flag, and finding that none would be granted, sent off a telegraphic order to Brest for two vessels of the line to sail for the Tagus with secret orders. This will have more effect with the Usurper than remonstrances. It is still reported that Government means to reduce the army, and that the Minister of Fi nance intends presenting a plan to the Chambers for paying off the Five per Cents, which he has little doubt will give satisfaction to the moneyed interest. It has long been wished for by the holders of that Stock and the bankers. The news from Spain, up to the 24th ult., mention that the capital was in a very disturbed state, and that nothing but a complete change of the Ministry, and the immediate assembling of the Cortes, could save the Crown from the abomi- _ __.... nahle conspiracies of the Carlists and Aposto licals. The advices from Oporto, via Bayonne, are up to the 23d ult. Don PEDRO and Marshal SOLIGNAC were making every preparation to meet the enemy in the field. Strong reinforce ments were daily expected from England and France. Great preparations are making at the hotel of Lord GRANVILLE, the British Ambassador in Paris, for the approaching nuptials of the Hon. Miss L. GOWER and Lord RIVERS. The banquets given in London to the in triguing Corsican Count Pozzo DI BORGO, the Russian Ambassador to the Court of the Tui leries, are the subject of much conversation in' the political saloons of Paris, who consider that he plays his part well for his master, the Autocrat, both with Whigs and Tories. Paris continues tranquil. A Hague Journal has published a note of the Spanish Ambassador, the Chevalier ZEA BERMUDEZ, to Lord PALMERSTON, dated the 7th November, which might have been of importance as showing the official feelings expressed by Spain upon the affairs of Por tugal, were it not likely that events passing at Madrid , will change the policy of that Cabinet to one of a more liberal nature, and more favourable to the rights of Donna MARIA than it has yet pursued. After detailing all the endeavours made by Spain to induce England to exert herself in favour of Don MIGUEL, for of course that is what M. BER MUDEZ means by a settlement of the Portu guese question, and adverting to the visit of the British squadron to the Tagus some short time before the note was written, the Spanish Am bassador thus winds up : " His Catholic Majesty, besides, cannot lose eight of this, and the undersigned feels himself called upon to repeat it, that the indefinite duration of civil war in a neighbour ing kingdom, allied under so many relations with Spain, is one of those serious questions of which the whole Spanish nation may foresee and calculate the dangers, and which tends to excite masses of peo ple to great irritability. His Catholic Majesty, therefore, thinks himself entitled to call once more upon the justice and friendship of the Government of his Britannic Ma jesty, and to conjure him to advise with him in common accord, as to the means of putting en end to the evil. which so heavily oppress the unfortunate Kingdom of Portugal by means of an aborr.inable attack, which can only lead, as it is, to still more complications and discus sions." One satisfactory feeling we have had on reading this document, has arisen from the proof it affords us of the firmness of our Government in persisting in its refusal to take any step in favour of the amiable person who has " possessed himself," as the gentlemen of the swell mob would call it, of the Crown of Portugal. WEEKLY NEWSPAPER FOR THE ARMY AND NAVY.. ---It is singular that at a time when almost all the various cl asses o f soc i ety possess newspapers, or other periodical works, appear i ng at s h ort i ntervals, devoted to their particular interests, those important bodies, the army and navy, should up to the present time have had no dis tinct medium of information and reference but a monthly Which, though of th e hi g h est c h aracter and cannot comprise all th ose top i cs o f tempo rary and d a il y occurr i ng events, which especially concern members of th e m ili tary professions. e hau th e W a journa l ; r ho t irn h i t ye' i n tere s t, t ' this deficiency is about to be supplied i rn ed i - ate y , by the publication of a weekly newspaper, to be entitled the Naval and Military Gazette, which is to he brought forward under the highest authority and profes sional management.

HENNING V. DOVF• This was an action, which was brought by Mr. Ben ning, of the firtn of Saunders and Henning, law book sellers and publishers, in Fleet•street, to recover compensa tion in damages, from the defendant, for the breach of a contract by Lim with the plaintiff, and by which the plaintiff alleged he had sustained a considerable loss. The defendant was the proprietor of Mr. Chittey's edition of " Blackstone," and the plaintiff purchased 300 copies of it, at a fixed price—the defendant, at the same time, binding himself not to dispose of any copies which he retained in his own hands at a lower rate than that at which the plaintiff had purchased the 300 copies. By the evidence ( f i t e w no th in e in p a l t l e i d nti , ff , , t h ra n d w e ever, it sales" at ber of copi es o f thi s id ent i ca l wor k were so ld by th e a g e e ear e l b d i that n T a v a e t r w n a a t n n u , m e r - e defendant's auctioneer at a lower price than that stipulated upon between him and plaintiff, and it appeared further, that such sales would to a certainty have the eff-ct of preventing the sale of the copies which the plain tiffs had purchased. One of the witnesses, Mr. H. Butter worth, the law bookseller, stated that he had purchased some of the copies at the trade sale ; but when he heard of the agreement that had been entered into between the plaintiff and defendant, he returned those that he had pur chased to the latter at the price he had given for them. It further appeared that the plaintiff had since entered into partnership with his present partner, Mr. Saunders, and that the stock in trade had been transferred over to the partnership account. Sir JAMES SCARLIETT, in his address to the Jury, con. tended that the plaintiff would not have suffered damage, because it appeared that Le had in fact sold all the copies he had to the partnership, and, therefore, if there was any damage at all, it was sustained by the partnership, and not by the plaintiff individually. His LORDSHIP made several attempts to get the parties to consent to a reference to Mr. Butterworth, or to the withdrawal of a juror. The cause had been in the papers a year and a half, and it would he much better to settle it amicably. The Parties, however, declined acceding to either of his Lordship's propositions. . . The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE then sutntned up the evi dence, and the Jury returned a verdict for the defendant. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY. rl - ~i ?D, ' , PTR/T OP TIFF PlTni.ro-70(!i/Ntr,g. the of Assembly of 1, Jamaica icadsoiitin of a is tthi ( sc o ritical tune, iti4pnsequence of a collision between the two branches of the Leis , lature, will obtain for colonial affairs A tlegTeAof attention which it would be fruitless expect under other circumstances. The question of slavery is, unfortunately, not the only one which agitates Jamaica. The inhabitants of that co lony, in common with the inhabitants of every other colony under the British Crown, are most unmercifully plundered by a crew of idlers, for whom a pretext for an income must be found, and who can be most conveniently disposed of beyond sea. These idlers, or quasi -idlers— who have an interest in the perpetuation of all kinds of abuses, and who are the mere creatures of the Ministry of the day--are the means by which the Government is enabled to nullify (to use an American phrase) the resolutions of such parts of the Legislatur e as sympathize with the inhabitants. The Governor of Jamaica has taken part with the Council of the island. This naturally leads to an inquiry of what mate rials is the Council composed, to which Lord Mulgrave assigns functions analagous to those of the House of Lords. In one of the resolutions passed bythe Members oftheAssembly, as individuals after the dissolution, a descrip tion was given of the Council, which conveyed the idea that the Members were not fitted to discharge the functions assigned to them by the Governor. In fact, the inhabitants of the colony would be utterly without the m :ans of protect ing themselves against the most flagrant oppres sions, were the distribution of functions to the two bodies of the Legislature to be regulated by that of the Lords and Commons, as ab surdly contended for by Lord Mulgrave. The Legislative Council in Canada is in theory at least distinct from the Executive Council (though the same individuals are too often to be found in both), but in Jamaica the Council is both Legislative and Executive, and all the Members of the Council hold their offices and their incomes at the pleasure of the Executive. It will be seen from the following document, that if the House of Assembly were without the power of examining witnesses upon oath, great public delinquents would be covered with the most complete impunity. The documents are a letter from an intelligent Member of Assembly to a distinguished Member of Parliament in this country, and an analysis of the Jamaica Council, by the same individual, which has been forwarded to the Colonial-office : (COPY.) " Kingston, Jamaica, Dec. 17,1832. " Sir,—Our Jamaica Assembly has been di solved by Governor Earl Mulgrave, not in consequence of any ques tion of slave reform, but on account of the nonsensicalities of privilege. "The Assemb'y of Jamaica have always exercised the power of examining witnesses upon oath—this, it is true, .s not done in the House of Commons, but it is absolutely necessary to the Constitution of Jamaica, for, having no House of Lords ((or which God be praised), and the Council being principally composed of servants of the Ex ecutive, and all removeable at pleasure, the only mode we possess of convicting great public delinquents, is by an inquiry, on oath, before the House of Assembly, and ❑pon that evidence a memorial is presented to the Crown through the Governor. The Crown punishes the delin quent or not, as it pleases—of course, in most cases, the delinquent is not punished, as his interest with the cor ruptions of Government usually is too powerful for the attenuated hands of colonial justice. But if the House of Assembly is not to institute examinations on oath, then we cannot even expose public delinquents, and we are be. reft of the very shadow of an impeachment. " The right has been salutarily exercised since the ex istence of the Constitution of the colony—as in the cases of Chief Justices Lewis and Scarlett, within my own re collection. If the Assembly cannot inquire, on oath, into the conduct of public robbers, they must go un scathed. " At this moment we are interrupted in an investiga tion of alleged frauds charged against our Judge of the. Court of Admiralty, and who is also Register of the Court of Chancery. " The Council have also quarrelled with the Assembly, because they are not allowed to originate laws. " Enclosed I send you an analysis of the Jamaica Coun cil—a fac•simile of this analysis I have forwarded to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, through our Jamaica Governor•. " May I request you to move in the House of Com. coons that the analysis of the Jamaica Council, forwarded to the Colonial-office, may be laid upon the table of the House of Commons, that it may be seen how we are governed. " A man of business as Governor could do much good in this wretched colony; but Lend Mulgrave is a mere novel writer. " I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your most obedient servant. " ANALYSIS OF THE JAMAICA COUNCIL. " The Council in Jamaica is both Legislativ e and Exe cutive—not as in Canada, where the Legislative Council is distinct from the Executive. " All the Members of the Jamaica Council hold their offices, both legislative and pecuniary, at the pleasure of the Executive. The present Members are— " 1. George Cuthbert, President. He receives 1,000/. currency annually as President, which office he holds at the will of the Executive. "2. Major-General Sir W. Cotton. 3. Lord Bishop of Jamaica (who receives from the people of England 4,0001. sterling annually for doing nothing). 4. Chief Justice Sir Joshua Rowe (who is removeable at pleasure from his office of Chief Justice, as was his predecessor Tuckett, to make room for him). 5. Attorney. General Dowell O'Reilly. 6. Do. M'Dowell Grant, Collector of his Majesty's Customs in Kingston.—Thes e five—viz , 2,3, 4,5, and 6, are all officers of the Crown, receiving the means by which they live from the Government, and are removeable at pleasure. The 2d, 3d, 4th, and sth, are strangers in the Island, having neither affinity in Wood nor community of interest or property with any class of the Jamaica people. " 7. James Gayleard, Master in the Jamaica Court of Chancery.—His means of living could at any time be taken a*ay by the Governor, who is also Chancellor. " S. Samuel Jackson, Captain of a Fort, and Clerk of the Peace for Trelawney (No. 8, office of Captain of a Fort, is held at the pleasure of the Governor). 9. Wan. Rowe. 10. Robert Moulton, formerly the Master of an African slaver.—Nos, 8. 9, and 10, are •rn, and, if not in the Council, would •'••. a a • * • • • " Thus the Legislative Council of Jamaica is composed of ten Members, holding their offices as legislators at the caprice of the Ministry for the time being, on the recom mendation of the Governor for the time being, and of which four are strangers, receiving pay from Government as high public officers; one receiving pay as a Customs' Officer; on e receiving pay or salary as President, his offic e de pending upon his obsequiousness to Government; opt receiving pay as an Island Officer, at the Governor's % .;11 ; one a Master in Chancery, receiving fees, Governor being Chancellor; two 4 ", in which situation are most of the others who are not strangers. " These ten gentlemen receive besides annually from the public the sum of 10,000/. currency, called the King's Revenue Fund, but what they do with that sum is un known to the taxpayer!. " To contend that this Council of tea, convoseJ of tax-eaters, strangers, and a a a, i s an exict representa tion of the House of Peers, and that, therefore, they ought to originate laws, and try impeachments, is the perfection of Colonial Government twaddle. Such a Legislative Body is worse than the Representatio n of Old Sarum or Cotton. " As this document is submitted to his Excellency the Governor, he can attest the accuracy of this analysis, the truth of which no honest man can deny." In point of fitness, then, it appears that the Council are quite unfit to play the part assigned to them by Earl Mulgrave, from the supposed resemblance borne by them to the House of Peers. But in all such cases, the practise ought to go for much. Now it appears, first, that th e House of Assembly have been in the constant practice of examining witnesses on oath and, FROM LLOYD'S.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK The only arrival of consequence this morning is a Mexican mail by the Sheldrake, sailed from Vera Cruz on the 19th December, and from Havannah the Ist Jan. By the above conveyance Vera Cruz Papers to the 19th December have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, in which it is stated that an extra ordinary courier had arrived there with the intelligence that the Liberating army entered the city of Puebla, on the 12th instant, preceded by the Constitutional Pre sident of the Republic and the General•in-Chief. THE FUNDS. It appears by the accounts from Madrid that Sir Strat— ford Canning's mission to the Court of Spain has failed, in respect to gaining over his Spanish Majesty to acknow ledge the young Queen of Portugal. In what light this refusal will be viewed by the French and English Govern. meats remains to be seen. We should not be surprised to hear of the French assembling an army on the Pyrenees again. Consols opened at the same price they left off yesterday, 88i to t y , with nothing doing as yet. HALF-PAST ONE. To the present time we have no other political informa tion than the state of affiirs of the republic of Mexico, which, according to the private letters from that quarter, appears to have terminated in the reinstatement of Pe dratia as President. The Funds are in an inanimate state, and have been during the whole of the tnorning at 88i 4, with little or nothing doing. In the Foreign Market there is more animation, owing to the favourable account 4 by the Mexican mail. Mexican stock has improved to 30 31. Dutch may be quoted much the same as yesterday, 45a THREE O'CLOCK. Consols for the Account, 88i -4.
