GENERAL ELECTION. STAFFORD, JULY 31. The election for this borough commenced on Friday morning; the polling went on with great spirit during the day, and at the conclusion the numbers were as follows: Mr. Gisborne 4BB Mr. Campbell 441 Mr. Ifawkes On Saturday the polling reconsmenced with greater (if possible) activity than on the preceding day. In such rapid succession were the burgesses brought forward by the friends of the different candidates, that by one o'clock there was not a single resident freeman left unpolled.—(The non• residents have no vote in the borough.) At the final termination of the poll the numbers were— Mr. Gisberne.. 666 Mr. Campbell 6lO Air. Hawkes 305 The Mayor then pronounced the two former gentlemen to be duly elected, and they severally returned thanks for the honour conferred upon them. Mr. Hawkes was loudly c4lled for, and it was tried. to extract a pledge from him that on a future occasion he would again offer himself to the notice of the burgesses of Stafford, when he might perhaps be snore successful. Mr. Hawkes could not, how ever, be prevailed upon to make a promise to that effect. He said he must acknowledge that be was much dis appointed at the result of the contest, as when he came into the town he was hailed with the applause and promise of support from thousands; they ap peared to be almost unanimous in his cause. From the enthusiasm that then seemed to prevail, he promised that he would stand by them until every man had given his vote; this he had done—what he had promised he had performed, but he did not intend to pledge himself as to the future. The successful candidates immediately after the election were chaired round the borough, accompanied by a vast concourse of people, bands of music, flags,. banners, &c. &e. On Mr. Gisborne arriving at the Swan Inn, he again addressed the freemen from the windows. After once more thanking them for their support, he proceeded to say that his political opinions were what was generally known by the term liberal. He thought they ought to be thankful to Ministers for several of their measures, which were likely to promote the general welfare ; but it could not be concealed or denied that those measures were forced from them.—( Hear.) He was most decidedly op posed to slavery in every form, and would, on all occa sions, do every thing in his power to abolish it. He con cluded by hoping he had formed as alliance with the borough of Stafford that would only terminate in death. Mr. Caurnstr., at considerable length, addressed the free men from the windows of the Star Inn. He thanked them with all his heart for their exertions in his behalf; they had this day raised him to the height of hie ambition, viz. one of the representatives of the people in the Commons House of Parliament, and he could assure them he would not abuse the trust they had reposed in him. This, said Mr. Campbell, is a proud day for Stafford, you have not been dictated to by Government, or by any Peer, but by your own unbought and unbiassed suffrages, you have sent into Parliament the man of your choice.—(Loud cheers.)—l glory that lam that man.—(Laughter.)— I should be ashamed of myself were I unmindful of the kindnesses I have received not only from the bur games, but from the whole population of Stafford, it will never, Gentlemen, be effaced from my memory, and I shall tell it with pride and satisfaction to my children, I can assure you, Gentlemen, that no man ever entered, or will ever enter, the House of Commons more independent than myself. lam not attached to any man or any party. I shall be actuated only by a sincere desire for the good of my ceuntry.—(Cheers.)—These are only promises, bulk. Gentlemen, I invite you to watch my actions and judge from them. Pay attention to the votes that I shall give, see what measures I support and what I oppose ; pay attention to them, and then tell me if I should again ask for your suffrages, whether I am or am not worthy of them....-(Cheers.)---I may be mistaken on some points, but I tan again assure you that my only object will be your interests and the interest of the country. Gentlemen, I bid you farewell. Major Scarlett, who is a great favourite with the bur gesses' wives and daughters, was loudly called for. Mr. CAurnm. came forward, and said he was very sorry the Major could not obey the call, as be had left Stafford, and was then on his way to London, with the gratifying intelligence of the result of that day'. pro ceedings. Mr:Wurrcom, Mr. Borrow, and some other gentle •ten, congratulated the freemen on the result of their exertions, and expressed themselves certain that Mr. Campbell would not disappoint the expectations that had been formed of him. The band then played " God save the King," and the immense crowd, after giving three cheers for Campbell, began slowly to disperse. The town, during the last week, has been one continued scene of confusion. It is now beginning to assume its re gular d Wiles& BRISTOL, SATURDAY MonNiNa. Nothing can exceed the strong party feeling which per vades all classes in this city. Last evening a most daring outrage was perpetrated on the person of Mr. Protheroe, while he was addressing the people from the windows of the Bush inn, a thick piece of oak, about a foot long, was flung with great violence and struck him on the side of the head. He instantly fell, and was for a short time in sensible. During the whole of Saturday his situation was alarming, but we are happy to state he is now pro nounced as out of danger. The confusion that followed the assault prevented the crowd from recognizing the vil lain, A reward of one hundred guineas has been offered for his apprehension. Davis is certain of success, for the voters generklly divide with him and one of the other candidates. Though on the first day's poll the majority is against Protheroe, yet uo doubt is anticipated as to the result being in his favour. The chief supporters of Baillie are found amongst the ship wrights and people employed in the docks, who have had a general holiday; whereas the voters in the interest of Protheroe are shopkeepers and journeymen tradesmen, who have not been able to leave their business on Saturday. FIRST DAY'S POEL....SATURDAY. Davis. 1,666 Bailhe 1,029 Protheroe Acland Stinnes Evexixo.—hfr. Protheroe is much hater, and intends to attend the hustings to-morrow. NOTTINGHAM, SATUILDAY NIGHT. We have commenced here a singular contest. The Lord Chancellor's Secretary, Mr. Lowdham, aware that there was pp chance for him, (and especially after the letter of Mr. Denman, reprobating the idea of blowing at once both hot and cold,) resigned, immediately lie knew the electors had accepted of General Sir Ronald Ferguson, whom the Whig Lord Privy Seal has so unceremoniously ejected from the Fife Burghs. On Wednesday morning Mr. Thomas Bailey, an opulent wine -merchant, of strict Whig principles, and celebrated for literary productions, presented himself to his fellow-townsmen as a candidate, and the independents having secured their ascendancy in the town, are divided among themselves. The nomination took place yesterday, Mr. Denman being proposed by Mr. Thos. Wakefield, andbfr. Abyah Bond, and Sirß. Ferguson by Lord Renege (the late member) and W. Alfred Fellows. Mr. Bailey's eligibility was admitted, but his declaration cen sured as being only a trick of the Tories to divide the party, and thus to hold back, and thin secure the return of a member of their own opinions. Mr. Bailey's pro.. poser and seconder could not be heard, and the greatest part of his truly eloquent address was dumb show; when, however, he got to that part of his speech which pledged him ,s a reformer of local as well as national abuses, he was loudly cheered, and was heard to the end. The show of bands was in his favour. TO polling commenced this morning in a booth with liven approaches (one to every 600 electors, the number voting at the last contest having been 4,051), a greater number polled during the day, than on any previous occa. sion, but that the addition of six more polling bars readily accounts for. The Mayor, Alderman, Council, and their immediate dependents, as well as a number of the heads of the low party, have voted for the Com Mon Serjeant and the General, as well as a very few of the old Tories. For Mr. Bailey, the principal men of the old Tory.party have voted, to put out of question the fear that it was a mere rust to bring in a candidate of their own, while not more than six or eight of the liberal party have yet voted for him. His personal friends are holding back. The radi cals atuse Bailey of ratting to Toryism—that is totally entre he receives the votes of the Tories because be has eft, been opposed to corporations generally, awl they are hoOile to the corporation The state of the poll at 110011 Denman Ferguson 278 Bailey 46 At the close, at ludflast eve, Denman 632 Ferguson 615 Bailey lO7 Th contest may yet be severe. It itfaareti that the revoluthinsty movements in Vtance vill have a tendency to cheek the great demand is Not ingbam lace for that market. Some orders have been •ountermanded. The stocks, however, are fimall, and ~ he people too busy with their elections to attend closely co matters of trade. CITY OF LINCOLN ELECTION. Colonel Sibthorp and John Fardell, Esq. were on Sa :urday last returned for this city. A third man was in he town but did not demand a poll. Colonel Sibthorp'e Anvass and promises of support were unparalleled in the history of Lincoln. Had he gone to a poll there is no loubf four-fifths of the votes would have been in his favour. NORWICH, AUGUST I. The Norwich election has terminated, as the public are already aware, in favour of the independent Members, R. Ff. Gurney and Robert Grant, &qrs., and it is a termini:. tion which at the entree of these gentlemen we predicted, ind which all those who had the means of becoming ac quainted with the exertions of the friends of those gentle men, of the just influence of the family of Gurney—just from their charities, their connections, and their every rod quality, and lastly, from the strong feeling of the ne• enmity of a great reduction in the expenditure, knew must prevail. This election will, perhaps, most vitally Affect many, if not all, those pieces where any spark of in dependence exists, it will be a beacon to show those who like Norwich, by some uafortuitous circumstance, have become, or are about to be sacr;ficed to place-hunters, that the people's voice where boldly, energetically, and fl annelly directed, can overcome obstacle, of however over whelming a kind, and that when knowing their strength and likewise how to use it, they will never long groan under any grievance. Let other counties and cities follow the example of Norwich, and the nation will soon be relieved from the evils of taxation under which she can scarcely support herself. On Friday afternoon about two o'clock, and indeed during the entire day, the whole city bore the appearance of bustle. The windows of the Market, which is perhaps one of the most splendid areas in the kingdom, having also the advantage of being on an inclined plain, was crowded almost to suffocation with females, almost entirely decorated with the blue and white colours—the emblem of the successful candidates. Very many of the houses were decorated with laurel, and two or three houses had temporary balconies raised to their very tops. About half-past three a large body of horse.. men formed at the Swan Inn-yard, their horses decorated with ribbons, these were followed by several carriages, among which were the Sherif% Messrs. Rye and Beare, (to whom very great credit is due for the impartiality of their conduct and their arrangements), the gentlemen of the Committee, Aldermen Itobberds and Yollop, and se veral other gentlemen of respectability. These were suc ceeded by the Clubs of the different Wards, with their banners, with mottos of very varied character, placards, and all the paraphernalia which seal and energy in the cause could suggest. Bands of music followed, with thou sands of supporters cheering every house as they passed along down to the market which contained their friends. As the procession entered, the sight was mast splendid, as far as the eye could reach nothing was seen but a dense mass of people, most of whom were decorated with colours, while all the windows were filled with females almost en tirely forming a most animated spectacle. On the Members appearing, shouts of the most energetic, cordial, and deafen ing kind greeted them. Wescarcely ever remember to have seen two members, perhaps Mr. Coke and Mr. Patterson ex cepted, whose personal appearance borethe ►tamp of such manly and generous independence as Mr. Gurney, or of so dignified a bearing as Mr. Grant; and never was there known so triumphant a victory, so splendid a celebration. The procession was so immense that the market could not contain it, and its course was consequently unusually va ried by making a circuit through London -street, and round by St. Andrew's Broad-street, up Dove-lane, again into the market. To enable the reader to form some idea of the effect, we can state, that at the time the head of the procession was nearly in sight of the market, the ter mination was just leaving it; reaching, therefore, neatly, if not entirely, half a mile. On entering the market, the cavalcade, of about 200 horsemen, marched round; at the instant the Members entered it they drew up in one line, and cheered them as they passed. The effect of this move ment %vas most electrifying. The reverberating shouts of the people, as tkose in the rear answered the hurrahs in the market, gave the spectator an idea of the immensity of the procession which nothing else could have done. The Members were then set down at their residence, from whence they addressed the thousands of persons, and each and similar to the effect Mr. Grant's address produced on the lesser number of people on the former evenings.— The thousands stood in perfectly breathless attention throughout his speech, which was most eloquent. The candidates afterwards adjourned to their residences ; and thus terminated a week in Norwich which will be remem bered by all as one of the most extraordinary among the extraordinary of its elections. CAPTAIN 1110 IR. (rause 'ova OWN COIRNSPONOINT. ctuttateroan, 50NDA7, TOUR O ' CLOC E. What with the bustle consequent on the approaching contested election on the one band, and the excitement consequent upon the recent conviction of Captain Moir, this town is quite in motion. The fate of this unfortunate gentleman appears, however, for the moment, to swallow up almost every other consideration, inasmuch as, in addi tion to the application made by Mr. Dowling, after convic tion, to stay the execution, a petition, numerously signed by the respectable inhabitants of this borough and county, has been presented to the Executive, and, down to this hour, Captain Moir appears to anticipate that it will at least produce a respite. After the prisoner was convicted he was removed to the convict gaol, on Springfield-green, under the charge of Mr. Neale, the governor, he having previous to trial been confined at the county gaol, in the custody of Mr. Cornwell. Upon his arrival at the former prison the convict was, according to custom, stripped and strictly examined, he afterwards substituted another suit of clothes for the new ones in which be was tried. Ws demeanour was steady and resigned, without listlessness on the one band, or apparent compunction on the other. Yesterday the Captain was visited by his wife, mother, brother, sister, and others of his intimate friends, who all have been buoyed up with hopes that the man they hold most dear on earth will be spared the disgrace of an igno minima exit. This morning the culprit attended divine service, when the Rev. Mr. Lewis, the excellent chaplain of the prison, delivered an appropriate discourse; but, as by a rigid order $lO person was allowed to be present it she solemn service, the public will be left to conjecture what apparent effect it had upon the mind of the prisoner. A great number of persons grumble at this exelneien, but it is due to the Rev. Chaplain and Mr. Neale to state, that they, if left to themselves, would gladly give every informa tion.. About one o'clock the near relations already al. luded to were introduced to the prisoner in his cell, and they remained with him down to the present time, anxiously hoping a favourable reply to their application to the throne. Captain Moir remains unmoved, and appears determined to meet his fate undauntedly; nevertheless, so sanguine were his expectations, that he calculated upon a different verdict, although he had been candidly dealt with by his friends. He has uniformly manifested a great like of exposure, from, if I mistake not, a dread that his sorrowful end should be embodied in the calendar of crime. ItVN o'cLoct. The die itcast, Sir Robert Peel has communicated that no respite: of judgment can be allowed. Toil annuncia-. tion gave a shock to the too-ardent expectant relatives of the convict : their tears became them, and their sorrow was natural. Captain Moir, who " hoped Against hope," teemed but little surprised when the awful fiat was announced to him, that the diurnal index of time would not perform its course before the infiexib?o arm of the la* would pronounce to him that "time shalt be no longer." Captain Moir bits done one thing, which will, in some degree, blunt the sting of his offence—he has settled an annuity on the widow of his victim for life: he could do no more, and, as a person of wealth, he ought not to have done less. The QUEEN, attended by Lord Howr, Baron TIAUMBACII, Lord CLINTON, and Miss Fill- CLA.RXNCX, on her ♦isit to the Colosseum. on Friday last, expressed, in the most gracious terms her entire approba tion of the various , alterations and additions that had been made to this magnificent establishment since last year, when she frequently viewed its progress.

MAGAZINE DAY. BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.—PAnT Blackwood consists this month of " an excess of sweets ;" that is of two parts, and both good. " The Great Moray Floods," which is the first article in the first number, bears frequent proofs that it proceeds from the pen of Professor Wilson. It is a highly animated and interesting notice of Sir T. Dick Lauder's account of the inundation which swept the Moray Highlands at the com mencement of the August of last year. We subjoin a description of one of the more serious portions ; it is a sketch of a tempest among the Grampians " From this magnificent picture, of Auld Reekie in a flood, turn for a moment to the Grampians. You are all alone—quite by yourself—no object seems alive in exist ence—for the eagle is mute, the antlers of the red-deer, though near, invisible—not one small .moorland bird is astir among the brackens—no ground bee is at work on the sullen heather—and the aspect of the earth is grim as that of heaven. Mark ! From what airt moans the thunder? 'Tis like an earthquake. Now, it growls. Yonder cloud, a minute ago, deep-blue, is now black as pitch. All the mountains seem to have gathered themselves together under it—and see—see how it flashes with fire ! Ay, that is thunder—one peal split into a hundred—a cannonade worthy the battle of the gods and giants, when the Sons of Terra strove to storm the gates of Uranus. Would that •Dan Virgil were here—or Lord Byron ! 0 Dr. Blair ! Dr. Blair ! why didst thou object to the close of that glorious deseription—‘ Densissitnus Luber ?' Jupiter Pluvius has smitten the Grampians with a rod of lightning, and in a moment they are all tumbling with cataracts. Now every great glen has its own glorious river—some red as blood, some white as snow, and some yet blue iii their portentous beauty as that one thin slip of sky, that, as we are looking, is sucked into the clouds. • Each rill, each torrent, each river, has its own peculiar voice, and methinks we distinguish one music from another, as we dream ourselves away into the heart of that choral an. them. Woe to the wee bourracka o' houses,' bigot' on the bohn-lands ! Bridges ! that have felt the ice.flaws of a thousand winters rebounding from your abutments, as from cliff to cliff you spanned the racing thunder, till., night will be your last! Your key-stones shall be loosened, and your arches, as at the springing of a mine, heaved up into the air by the resistless waters. There is no shriek ing of kelpies. That was but a passionless superstition. But there is shrieking —of widows and of orphans—and of love strong as death, stifled and strangled in the flood that all night long is sweeping corpses and carcasses to the sea." " The Reigning Vice" is an elaborately,and, many respects, an ably-penned satire, of a com prehensive character, and not destitute of thought or vigour. It is now concluded, and seasonably so, as latterly the matter became rather atte nuated. " Letters from the Peninsula" gives a lively picture of some skirmishes of the British army with Marshal Marmont, during the late Peninsular campaign. The style in which these letters are written is easy, light, and captivating. " The Silent Member" has a ca pital analysis of the Whig Attorney-General's public character. It is very severe, but true to the life. We regret that our limits will not allow us to quote it. PA R r 11. A General Election" is a seasonable article, and one which will assuredly excite attention, and that in no ordinary degree. It is rather too much a Jeremiad—too exclusive in its opinions, and too zealous in upholding ; hut it is powerful, and, at the same time, replete with observation. " Fowl Shooting" is an amusing, spirited sketch of a pastime much in vogue among country gentlemen, and those who have nothing better , to employ tneir time with. There is hu mour about the article, and description and sentiment, .. all blended together after a most heterodox fasfnon, in a most strange heterogenous hodge-podge. It is entertaining however, and this is the great desideratum in a Diary of' a late Physician, Chapter 1," contains magazine contribution. " Passages f rom th e the history of a life, a great portion of which has been passed in difficulties and embarrass. . meets. It is impossible not to symp a thi ze w i t h . the writer in some of his struggles, which are simply and feelingly detailed. " Noctes Ambrosiante" are rather prosing and.insufferably long. There is a pretty considerable lack of their fire and humour. Tlowever, their author cannot be always on the broad grin. " Col man's Random Records" is a severe notice of a trashy book, the crude abortive .offspring of dui , ness anti dotage combined. The Reviewer's estimate of Mr. Colman is a vary just one :-- " We know not whether we are glad or sorry to find proved, beyond all contradiction or doubt, by these Ran dom Records, a fact which we had all along shrewdly suspected, to wit, that George Colman the Younger is, intua et in cute, one of the very poorest of all possible creatures. We suppose we must somewhere and some when or other, have either read, or seen acted, some of his trashy plays; but we cannot just now by any effort of recollection, charge our memory with the names of any one of them, except it be Octavian, a farce, which it toes the whim of John Kemble, Black John, the well-be » loved, to get up as a tragedy, wherein he enacted the principal character with a certain grave humour, to our minds far more amusing than the drollest lace-fun of the Cockney -idol, Liston. For John, in his own way, was a sad wag, We have frequently heard old George Colman. junior, (for he was always younger than his father) spoken of in town as an almost insupportable funny fellow, nay, as a fellow of rare mirth and most excellent - fancy,! quite a Yorick ; and Byron thought, or at least said, something to this effect, that at the genial hoard, as it is called, Colman was the'wit of all wits, and th.it he scat tered his pearls, w e s h a ll not say before whom, so pro fusely, that the multitude became oblivious to vulgar viands, in the divine enjoyment of that celestial food. f3yron'e authority in such matters is, we presume, a high in a good hum our , w hi c h fell one; and we wish th e anc i ent b u ff oon to have the full benefit ntitanteelelFnetdowhirha°vere:t Gconstitutional of it. But, th fin en been amiable eome weakness n ko l e ii s lit s o in r by the most common place conversational powers that ever were /suffered to,drivel. His Lordship, too, at such times, was much taken with certain sorts of wit which the aged 'Junior! i s,. we believe, esteemed a proficient among the roost obscene ',facile princepti—auch, .for example, as are displayed in those somewhat filthy facetite, which, in his own coterie, were the glory of !tie manhood, and out of it one of the bugbears of the Society for the Suppression of N ice -- --IlttoAn-Gstills. We do not mean, to insinuate that the table-talk of this indecent scoffer, now notoriously in his table-dotage, was equally distinguished by its grossness with the writings in which he wal lowed, or that the poetry (poetry !! of his ripe, may not be beastlier than the prose of his rotten age; but we maan to assert, if on no other foundation, even on the sole grouud of these wretched t Random Records, ' that he is pow, and alw a y s must have been, a low, vulgar, coarse, and shallow persion. Indeed we are altogether at a loss to conjecture how he should ever have contrived to acquire, e ven in the company he kept, the fame of being so much as low: lurk tl ; for his humour lies solely in a few pustu lated expressions, which do not seem even to have been native to his constitutiun, but to have been inoculated Into him skin-deep by a series of quacks with whom, from his boyish days, lie bad been familiar, 'even to the very moment that they bade him tell it.! There is souse. thing unhealthily fetid in all hit jokes; in their nastiness his jeers absolutely stink in the nostrils; his sneers have all a rankest smell; and in reading his lucubrations—we know not how it may be with his body Corporate in a room--we inatinetively—though get given to lie squea mish—rise and open the window, that the fresh air may be let in upon our :sickness. Such company is far from b e i n g pleasant to the senses ; and one is entitled to com plain of it, we think, without any violaCtio of good man ners. : It-is not that we are disgusted, in the 41 - lee:lads,' with much that is very immoral, but with all that is most nean.. We cannot, perhaps, except in a grave mood ,ate, but in every mood, we must despise, the diseased dr!. /eller ;—remember, we speak of him throughout as thr iuthor of Broad Grins,—and being, as it is well known, lteeedingly humane, we should often pity him, did he not , lways claim our contempt." FRASER'S MAGAZINE. A sensible judicious number, with no parti .!ular fire or brilliancy about it, but with much bat is useful and readable, and even novel in .e way of information. " Dr. Kennedy" is a sober analysis of the late Doctor's conversations .vith Lord Byron on religious topics. It is ileasantly written, and will repay any attention •hat may be devoted to its perusal. " Monos old Daimonos" is a clever, adroit, and good. humoured squib, on an imaginative article that ppeared a few months since, under that name, in the pages of the " New Monthly Ma 4azine." " Journey from Hermanstadt to Bucharest" is an agreeable chapter of travels, Nith no great novelty, however, whether of matter or manner, to recommend it. a The Philosophy of Apparitions" is a sensible atte►npt io explain the phamomena of spectres and ieeond sight, and, we think, a successful one. At any rate the writer displays ingenuity, and no slight portion of reasoning and sagacity. " Specimens of Irish Minstrelsy" is sad trail:. " On the Italian Opera" is a well written criti ,.:ism on a hackneyed subject. We quote from it the writer's sketch of Madame Merit: Lalande's (who just now happens to be popular) bio. .vaphy " Madame Merit Lalande is a native of France ; she vas born in Dunkerque; she made her first appearauce on the stage at Nantes, in French operas ; having given ..arnest of future excellence, she received an engagement it Lyons, where she was for two years the principal linger; her reputation still increasing, she next pro ceeded to the French capital. She made her de ;but at :he Theatre ale Madame, and was the first person who , ver sung Italian music on the French stage ; so that the taste fur the compositions of Rossini awl others, nbiclt now so universally prevails, may be in a great measure attributed to her. ' Lea Fulies Amoreuses" of Regnant (the celebrated author of Le Joueur'), was con verted into a regular opera for her, and arranged by Castil-blaze, to various pieces, front the compositions of Nlozatt, Rossini, Parisi, and Meyerbeer. It was entirely .uccessful, and delighted the Parisians fur a considerable period. Madame Lalande aft e r war d s w as c h osen a node - aire of the opera Co►nirfue, where, after singing for some time with success ever increasing, she obtained a conye; for six months to study in Italy. The six months, however, extended to six years, and since her departure, the has nut yet suns before a French audience. She made her first Italian debut at Venice, tluring the carnival of 1823-4, and sang in Crociatu' and ' Egilda' (Pavivi), in company with Velluti, and the distinguished tenor Crevelli. Notwithstanding this formidable association, fortune still smiled upon her, and to adopt a foreign idiom she bore away the universal homage. Next she proceeded to Munich, where her triumphs were of the most dazzling ❑rhtre; her gouge bad expired, and the Government of France demanded her return under pain of a fine of 10,0001. The King of Bavaria, Maximilian Joseph, paid the fine himself, and liberated the lady front her engagement, to the despair of France, and the delight of the other countries in which she had appeared. On leav ing Munich, she returned to Venice, and thence passed to Bologna, in 1826, where she was crowned, and had the heist of the medal,' we have noti.Ntd struck in her honour. Agaiu she returned to Venice, for the carnival of 152541, and afterwards appeared on the great theatre of Naples, she remained here for eight months, during which she sing in fourteen new operas, the greater number of which were composed for herself, and here all imaginable honours were showered on her by the Court and people. Vienna was the next city !soured with her presence. She sang in L'Amazilie of Pacini, the operas of Mozart, and many others, the Emperor and Empress, and number. of the Court honouring her with distinguished mark. of their admiration. Her next appearance was at Milan, where for the last three yeah she has reigned the en. risalled queen of La Scala; and this, perhaps is her highest triumph, for the Milanese ars wont to be capricious as well as critical." MONTHLY MAGAZINE. A very clever, amusing, and intelligent num ber. The first article entitled, 14 King William the Fourth," is temperately written, and unim peachable in point of matter. " State of Ire land" puts forth some judicious remarks, on one of the most intolerably trite and thread-bare ,opics ever yet broached for the annoyance of politicians, and indeed of readers in general. Though the writer says nothing new (how is it possible he can ?) upon the subject, yet what he does say, be says well. " The Spirits of the Winds" is a really fine imaginative poem, far superior to the run of magazine poetry in ge. neral. It is clearly the production of a true poet, and one who writes with no less force than ease. " The Eve of Saint Simon in Colombia," is worth reading, both as it regards style and subject. " Singular Smith" is an odd account of in oddity, more to be commended for its good humoured extravagance than for ha per. severing or hitting off any lineaments of nature. " Constant's Memoirs of Buonaparte," is an able notice of an amusing but by no means a clever or valuable book. " Secrets of the Court of Charles the Fourth of Spain," displays some power of language and description. " Mr. It. Montgomery and llr.E.Clarkson," is a some. what sarcastic review of these gentlemen's recent publications. " The Bower," a Vauxhall view, is a capital sketch of the well-known Master of the Ceremonies at this popular place of summe r evening resort. We give a specimen, in which the reader will recognize some true parties from nature : " Where then is the mystery ? It consists partly in ae smile and the bow ; not so much, indeed, in their quality as in their continuity. Ile never seems to leer' off—they are always ready made--ho keeps them perpe tually by him fit for use.

The emigrations of birds have given ries to many curious speculations, and have' !mead the zoologists of all ages—some conjecturing , that they lie for months at the bottoms of pools and liver., and other impossible places. We should like to know what natural philosophy has to say to the emigration we have recorded, and whether there is any chance of die. covering the winter-quarters of our venerable friend—the crysaliv of our summer visitor. Is he asleep foe the rest of the year ? Does be hide himself in a nutshell at home, or travel to the Indies and back ?

FAMILY MAGAZINE. A very entertaining perio►lical, whicl► improves as it goes on. The present number will be pe. rused with pleasure by the generality (a large class) of periodical readers; it combines amuse ment with information in no small degree. We regret that our very contracted limits will not allow us to make any extracts. FA A ItIIONICON. To those who feel an interest in this species of publication, the present number will afford abundant gratification. The contents are ap propriate and well selected ; and the different subjects treated of are discussed in an efficient and what is better still, a scientific manner. LA BELLE ASSEMBLEE. The portrait of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cumberland, which embellishes the present number of this popular and litshionabla miscellany, is an admirable specimen of art. In richness, delicacy, and general carefulness of finish, we have seen but few engravings equal to it—certainly none superior., There, is an itn mense display of work in it, the minkiiret , of which have been elaborated with as much ears and diligence as the general outline. The fashions, too, are not without their merits. The female figures are drawn with more spirit and accuracy than are usually displayed on such oc casions. As regards the literary portion of the number it evinces tact and good sense. LADY'S MAGAZINE. A passable number, not without talent, but of oo slip-slop a character to call forth Any par icular remarks. The Magazine, 1101'$-ever, is featly got up, and, above all, well printed. The New Monthly, United Service Journal, null the Monthly Review, have reached us at so late anliour, that we must defer our notice of them until to-morrow.
