THE SPANISH ARMY. (From the TintesCorreopotuient.) U RID, OCT. 4.—The decree of the King, which I herewith send you, while it officially acknowledges the existence of danger, and de filch) admits the jeopardy in which the Government finds itself, may, by ha vromelga tion, be construed into an expression of its fears. The truth is, the King and his Ministers are is a most awkward dilemma. Surrounded and menaced by the fierce and ungovernable apostolic faction on the one blind, and almost equally fearful of the liberals on the other, their position is one, of which the danger becomes snore immediate from clay to day. That events aro fast ap proaching that will shake the nation toile centre, is too evident to be doubted for an instant. From what occurred in this city on the 20th ult., it seems likely that • the Apostolicals will undertake the revolution, en attendant tit-, completion of the plans which the Liberals are devising. I have taken pains to obtain correct information on the state of the army. The Royal Guard consists of -. Grenaderos, Cazaderes, Laczeros, four regiments of (172 men each ... . .... 2,988 Infantry—Eight regiments of 1,000 men each 9,000 Two regiments, provincials of the Guard, each three bat taliona of 1,000 men 111,68.4 Infantry of the Line—Sixteen regiments of 1,5410 each 24,000 Light Infantry—Four regiments of 1,500 men each Engineers—T. , o regiments of 1,500 each ; three bat talions 500 each Frovinciales (a species of militia) —Forty-three battalions, 80(1 men each Cavalry—Eight regiments light, eight regiments of the line—sixteen regiments, 500 men each Artillery—Four regiments, 800 men each 3,200 05,288 This in about the amount of the standing army. The militia, which is disbanded and renewed every six years, amounted, in March last, to 00,000 men ; at that time their six years of service had expired. The term was then increased to eight years, and the new levy wee commenced —the old one still serving. This force may be reckoned at 160,000 men. There is another military force, calling themselves rolunturios realistus. This is a volunteer corps, consisting of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, to the amount of 120,000 men. They formed themselves in 1823, pro fessedly for the maintenance and defence of the absolute Monarch. They are all Apostolicals, and more devoted to the Infant Don Carlos, or the party that exists under his name, than to the King. , had the plot succeeded last week, they would have acted it chief part ; the massacre of the Liberals would have been their first Act. A great animosity exists between them and the Royal Guards, as the latter considered them as self-elected custodians of the Royal person, to their partial exclusion. This is a fortunate circumstance for the Liberals, to, in the case of anyevent, the guards will oppose them ; and it is well known, in deed their officers have told me so, that they (the guards) wish for nothing more than to have the opportunity, should such an occurrence take place, and then the rege neration of Spain will ensue. The regular army and the Liberals will have is common interest, and the King will follow the strongest. The guard is officered, in a great measure, by foreigners---French, Italian, German, and Irish ,• and their jealousy of the voluntarioa reulistas un ronsidered, they are more inclined to liberalism than toab solutions, as absolutism in this country is founded on epos. tolicism. They are the only troops in the country that are well clothed and regularly paid. Their appearance is ex. ceedingly good. Should the King break with the Alm tolicals, they will support him with enthusiasm, and this is what I expect. The troops throughout the country are wretched is the extreme, and cannot be depended on either way. Money will settle their allegiance or rebellion. The priesthood, including the monks, are computed at about 200,04)0: s.6ths of the wealth of the laud is in their hands. The Government has shorn them in one or two instances. This, anti the fear of farther encroach ment', Are, Among other reasons, the excitement they have against the Government. A Constitution can only be ma i n t a i ne d by th e !! subversion, and that subversion can only be realized by the curtailment of their pecuniary re sources. Thus there are ikon 200,000 to 300,000 beg gars in Spain, and they are supported by the priesthood. The advantage of this is understood by both parties; and the priesthdod, by their influence, maintain this order of things, and ensure themselves dependents, by perpetuating the ignorance and encouraging the idleness of the lower orders. Labour, and industry among the poor would for I over annul the, power of the clergy, and that can certainly „be effeeted by a wise Government. The people now have no incitement to wink, for they cannot possess in security she fruits of their industry. The Aportolicale are again at work. The Abbot of San B aa flie was this morning found murdered in his convent. This rasa was a Bishop, and had influence with the King. Ile was suspected of liberalism. The Duke of Montebello had a very short interview with the King, sad lie left Madrid the' next mornieg. It appears this Government recognizes Ftace, in case Aus tria does the tame. The cordiality Cannot be very great : e sees:pa...M. de St. Priest, the Ambaaador of Charles X., has ~..een made a Grandee of the first class, and has received other honours ; and Marshal Bourmont has been offered t h e comman d of the troops. He is at Valencia, and is ex peter,' here daily. D. C. Ilancetam.s, OCT. B.—The. review which I told you it was probable would take. place in Perpignan, 9f the Spanish forces, has not been passed ;, it is to be postponed Until the moment of their entering Spain has been finally ;ea on. I determined on entering Spain, iu ordeo to he able to give, previous to the struggle, which cannot now be long retarded, having uommeneed, a correct idea of the state of publit: feeling in this country, and of the measures the vanish Government have of late adopted, Ere you re. e d ve :Isis you will doubtless have read the proclamation b y ;Indinand, which exceeds in atrocity any Set of tyrant)) , I „ 0 „1„,' have formed an idea of from its great severity it cannot bts` have the effect of defeating its own ends. to the refugees,— All those who afford any as. such such as procuring them arms, at li„,:cing them money, or in any way promoting the cause of k n they have eens:: em barked in,—are to be condemned to death. Information of their movements is to bo communicated front " cable" to Alcalde at the rate of a league each hour and a half, in the event of an invasion ; whoever conceals an enemy in Isis house, or facilitates his escape, is to be con demned for four years to hard labour. A list of the alai grants is to ha procured and transmitted to the Chiefs along the frontier, in order, should any one of them have the misfortune to fall into their hands, to be able to know with whom they had to deal. The troops in the town amount to from 4,,000 to 6,000 men : those sent to the frontiers, at the head of whom, as I told you before, is El Conde de Espana, do not exceed 3,000. Tll e officers are men of very short standing, and the men are more than suspected of harbouring opinions tuvourable to the establishment .of a new order of things. To give you an idea of the rod of iron with which the people are governed would be impossible ;a It mis trusts his friend ; uud the inhabitants of this town are in A state of total ignorance with regard to passing events in Europe, as all foreign papers are stopped at the frontiers. I brought Moores Melodies here with me ; they were taken front me on my entering Barcelona, and their ten, dent" declared by A Junta of cerleaharties not only to be revolutionary but immoral. A gentleman who was in the fame diligence with me was wit WO prlion, because amongst his papers was found a copy of the "'Nouvelle Charte Conatitutimmelle des 'Francais."

By the arrival of the Dutch steamer, at a late hour this afternoon, we have received Dutch Papers to the 19th inst. We have no time for comment. The following are extracts : HAGUE, 01'T. 18. The Session was opened by his MAJESTY with the following Speech :--- " High and Mighty Lords, " Your zealous tielit;erations during the late Extraor dinary Scallion of the States-General, and the judgment and patriotism which you again in miferted, have not had the result which 1 hoped from them, —I might reasonably have expected that the thorough examination of the wishes and complaints brought forward, especially considering the mani fested agreement between the Prince and the Representa tives of the peol6, would have had that moral influence which was necessary to cause order and tranquillity to be every where restored. " Hitherto the observance of the fundamental and legal forms was always placed in the foreground by the first who brought forward the chief wishes and grievances, but now the regular course no longer satisfied the violent pro ceedings attic leaders of a blind . 40 excited multitude, they brought about an insurrection attended with violence, and the efforts of the military power of the State were unable to quell this insurrection. " Already before its arrival at Brussels the military force, which came to bring protection, was hostilely at t:►cked -; 'and though preceded by a solemn announcement of mildness and peace, it met in the city with the most murderous resistance. The armed rebellion against the lawful Government has since spread more and more in the Southern Provinces with such fearful expedition, that for the security and defence of the faithful northern provinces, and of their commerce, I have been obliged to take the necessary measures with respect to the military and naval force ; have ►trade part of the militia moveable, p►epared to call out the Landstru►n (local militia), and issued an invitation to volunteers to arm. The ardour with which it has been answered, and the new proofs of attachment to my house which I have received on this oc casion have alleviated the grief that fills my heart at the thought that a band of rebels should have been able to 14,44;0 so important and flourishing a population from the Clovernment, under which they have obtained a degree of prosperity and lichee that Boy never before enjoyed, and found the moat ample potoction fur their political, civil, and religious rights. . _ 1' Illy constant expectation that the greater part of the population would, on mature reflection, de 'sire to recover these. blessings, has induced ine to the resolution to give to my beloved son, the Prince of orange, the government pro' iryipprp of those parts of the Southern Provinces that remain faithful, in order, if possible, to bring bark the recalled provinces by means o f persuasion to legal order. I hove thus by an administrative separation prepared the development of the declared sentiments of the States-General in their late extraordinary session, as far as depended on me, by which my care is now snore e*ClusirelY confined to the Northern Provinces, and their power and resources will be employed alone for their interest, which have at the Name time proved to all my subjects, and to all Lumpy, that I have loft nothing untried to bring back those who have gone astray. Supported by the consciousness that I have observed the solemn oath which I have taken to the fundamental l a w, and have been unceasingly diligent to promote to the utmost of oly power the welfare of the people of the Ne. therlends, I look forward vivit4 (faintness to the issue of those ma l ea vonse, and of the deliberation* of my allies, who have guaranteem this kingdom, and have made • the present state of its Southern Province the .suhject of fieir serious meditationi. " The army has in general made itself worthy of my approbation by its valour, accompanied with moderation ; but I must lament that latterly so large a part of it, misled by erroneous notions or dereirful promises, has forgotten their oath and their duty, and abandoned their colours, " In the . circumNtances in which th►' kingdom now is, and which are so different from a state of peace, I have found it necessary to open your present Session at the Untie. lam happy to he able to inform you on this occasion, that foreign Powers continue to give ,►ssurauces of their sincere interest and friendly senti ments. ___ " It is no less agreeable to inform you, that the courage and perseverance of my troops have put an end to the war in the island Of Java, and the other settlements in the East enjoyed, according to the latest accounts, perlegt tranquillity. The harvest, in cons( pence of the long mins, ha., nn 14 whole, not been favourable; I have taken all the pre vacations in my power that the wants of the poor and in- Aigent may be provided for in the ensuing winter. " The internal stat t enf the kingdom is for the present an insurmountable olistrtele to the forming of an esti mate of the expenditure and revenui.- of the kingdom for the next year on good grounds, I have therefote pre fermi! to reserve, as'far its practicable, the continuance of What air arly exists.. . A - project of law to this and will be laid Wore you. " Conformably to the dkelaration made at the opening of your late - extraordinAry 'Steal% 1. Iwo S4kva g 1"4" sure to provide for the present for the urgent dig. bursements of the treasury, and the patriotism of the people makes me hope it will succeed. The measure must, however, he followed by several legal enactments, which will be laid before you during the session. 4 . Whatever difficulties the present state of affairs may cause, the engagements respecting the redemp tion of the public debt must be fulfilled, and I mean to propose to you a law for the buying up and redeeming of this debt. " 'shall also have to call for the co-operation of your High Migbtinesses to check and punish the efforts of- evil disposed persons to trouble the provinces that remain faith ful, and if possible to spread the rebellion to them. I have meantime judged it absolutely necessary to take measures of precaution with respect to foreigners and travellers. " The rebellion in the southern provinces makes it im possible to introduce on the Ist of February next year, the national legislation and judicial institutions as I have promised to do in compliance with your reasonable wishes. For the same reason, the establishment of the High Conn of Justice must be deferred. Your High Mightinesses, the rapid course of the events which have shaken the kingdom within a few weeks may affect others of our institutions ; the issue of these events is not to be foreseen, and the wholly unexpected news re• ceived from Antwerp to-day is a new proof of the daily progress of the actual separation between the two parts of the kingdom. " I look, however, to the issue with confidence, because my conscience is tranquil, I can still depend on your co-operation, on that of the faithiul northern pro vinces, on the support of my allies, who will constantly maintain the political system of Europe, and I am at the head of a people whose respect for religion affords the best pledge of the protecting care of the Almighty." The King left the hall amidst shouts of " Long live 'he King," and both on going and on his return, was re ceived with acclamations by the multitude, whom the fine ness of the day attracted. It is said that Messrs. de la Coster and Von Gobbleschroy, have hesitated to sign the proclamation of the Prince of Orange of the 16th.— Tile latter, it is skid, has sent his resignation as Minister of State, and the first is said to be ex- pected this evening. Yesterday there were a nne disturbances at Antwerp, three persons were killed and some wounded. On the approach of a considerable corps of armed men our troops left Lier yesterday and returned to Antwerp. DAY AT ONI O'CLOCK. South Sea Stock 97 Old Annuities New Ditto Ex.

The following are extracts from German Papers, received this morning :-- (From Le Vrai Patriote of Sunday, Oct. 17.) GHENT, OCT. 1.6. The day before yesterday, in the morning, the most alarining reports circulated in the city. Some said that the City Guard ( Garde Urbaine) was in danger of being ills armed by the people. Others that the Belgie Legion was not safe. Others announced a speedy sally from the fort. Ad these reports, more or less founded, excited lively ap prehensions. At two o'clock the Commissioners of the Provisional Government went to the assembly of the Magistracy (regime). All the members, without exception, were present, as well as the chiefs of the city, and the officers of the Belgic Legion of Paris, who had come at the invi tation of the Burgomaster. This Magistrate delivered a speech full of the most patriotic sentiments, which was applauded by all present. The chiefs of the City Guard ("eternised with the officers of the Belgic Parisian Legion, and they promised to defend each other in case of a riot. he officers and volunteers likewise offered, for the in terest of the city, to occupy all the most dangerous posts, such as all those that sic near the citadel, the port at the Courtray gate, &c. This devotedness to the cause of our city gave general satisfaction. The city of Ghent may therelote depend on the solicitude of the Magistrates, who • are incessantly vigilant for its safety in the devotedness of the valiant Belgians, who have hastened to its defence, and on the unshaken courage of its brave Burgher Guard. An order of the day issued by the Viscount de Ponte coolant commanding the B. igic legions, thinks the troops for their zeal and courage in blockading the citadel, hut regrets that some of them have in their ardent zeal 'nut shown duo temper and justice in searching for effects be longing to the armed Dutch, and as private property even that of our enemies should be respected. No such search shall henceforth be made without an express order from the Government. We learn that an attempt was made last night on the life of Baron de Coppens, CommissiOner of the Provisional Government. We understand that a report on the sub ject has been sent to Brussels. To-morrow we shall doubtless be able to give particulars. (From the If de la Belgique of Sunday.) _ lit ILISHELS, OCT. )6. A private letter from Ghent of the 15th of Oct. in forms us that in the afternoon of that day there was a san guinary affray at Ghent, in consequence of which the Burgher Guard were obliged to lay down their arms. A great many more soldiers of the first division have arrived in this city. The Central Cjnomittee, considering that the lottery is an immoral tax, and burdensome to the people, orders the Royal Lottery to he suppressed in Belgium, and tl.e sellers of tickets to be prosecuted, according to the laws and ordinances. (Mom the Court Gazette.) ST UTTG A RD, OCT. W. To our great ostonishment we read in some of the most recent French journals of great disturbances, said to have taken place at Munich on the 24th, loth, and 2(ith Sep tember, on which the Government was obliged to employ one putt of the garrison against the other, and to dismiss the Ministers as being accused by the people of favouring the Jesuits. Happily there is not a syllable of truth in all these statements, though it has been attempted to give them an appearance of authenticity, by giving such de tails, nor is there any more truth in the accounts of dis turbances here, and in various parts of the kingdom of Wgrtenthurg, where public tranquillity has not been for a moineo interrupted, as evilly body is fully sensige of the advantages which the eroding constitution alfords, and is therefor e h a ppy mu d contented, a truth which was evident at th e l a t e agrimdtural fete at Dam eta& where there were thousands of spectators from all parts of the kingdom, whose conduct did not call for any interference of the police. The same was the case at the great October festival at Munich, which last fete would hardly have taken place at all had there been any founds ; Lion fur the above accounts, IMAl.lttynttr, OCT. 9. I n ou r politic,' circles a great deal is said gala diplomatic circular, which a great northern Court is reported to have issued to till its Ministers at foreign Courts, to b e c o lumn nicated to them. This note is said to relate to the affairs of the Netherlands, and to declare the reiudution of that Court to maintain with all its power, at 'emit in the most essential points, the stipulation's of th e e ,„ vont i or , of Lon don of 1015, relative to the kingdom of the Netherlands. We have file of Calcutta Papers to the Ioth of June, the contents of which are important. It appears that serious disturbances had broken out on the frontiers of Upper Assatn. Reports having reached Capt. NEUPVILLE, the Political Agent, of an irruption of 2,000 Singpos, under WAKum Koom vdio )ud crossed the river Booree Dlicitia, and efFected a junction with LUTTORA GAUM, their united strength amounting to 000, with an intention of ad vancing on Suddeya,. , the Agent accordingly proceeded against-them in person. Having taken . up a position on the Burrampoota, he received information that the Singpoos had come down the. Thenga on rafts to attack the village of Sutter). With a force of 54 rank and file, and 250 militia, he fell upon them, and put them to the rout with a loss, on their part, of 13 killed. The Singpoos retreated to Suttore, and to the number of 2,500 began to construct stockades. In consequence, measures were taken for calling out the contingents of the whole of the chiefs under the Political Agent's authority, who assembled to the amount of 1,000 men, 400 of whom were armed with English muskets. On the advance of the first detach ment, the enemy deserted their works, and were driven across the hills, and, finally, out of the British territory ; 40,000 maunds of rice were taken. 'Whilst the above occurrences were pass ing, a body of Assamen insurgents, about 400 in number, made an eruption on the. post of Itingpore. Lieut. MACKIE marched against them, and beat them off; pursuing them for ten miles. Detachments had been sent against these territories, and it was anticipated the leaders would either be captured or destroyed. (From the Paper of May 27.) Tits Gaut.—Accounts are pouring in from all quar ters of the damage done by the gale of Tuesday and Wed wraday. The bank of the river, from near the fort to the end of the strand, is strewed with wrecks of }Mats and pinnaces. The devastation has been considerable on the grounds of the Commander-in-Chief, and a number of huts have been thrown down. If the rains continue, the indigo crop will be materially injured. (From the Paper of June 4.) Notwithstanding the strict law of the Government against suttees, a woman has lately burnt herself. A certain gentleman, a Suodar by caste, who resided at Chibotee, in Patna, died about thirty-two years of age. His wife, a girl about nineteen, attended him, and when the body was being burnt she leaped upon the funeral pile and consumed herself. The Daroga having been acquainted with it, caused those present at the spectacle to be seized and sent to Patna, where they remain in confinement. (From the Paper of June 7.) A letter has been received at Calcutta by the late arrivals, which mentions that orders have been despatched by the Court of Directors to this Government, not to rescind the order of the half-battu, but to give the troops an equivalent. This letter is from a gentleman connected with the India-house, and whose information is derived, there is reason to believe, from the Directors themselves. (From the Paper of June 14.) We are sorry to understand that the small-pox is raging to an alarming extent in some of the upper provinces. Both at Cawnpore and Merzapore a number of persons have fallen victims to the disease, among whom are seve ral adult Europeans. (From the Paper of June 15.) A letter from Sylhet states that the Rajah of Cuellar was murdered on the 24th of April, in consequence of which a detachment of the S)lhet corps was ordered up. Little doubt was felt that Cumber Sing, Rajah of Mum. poor, was the instigator. The murder was perpetrated by the Cachar's own sepoys. (From the Paper of July 1.) Letters from several parts of Jessore lead us to think the storm cannot have extended to that district. All our late accounts from the indigo districts lead us to make a con siderable deduction from the formerly estimated amount of the forthcoming crop, and to expect rather below than above an average growth. The lion. Company's ship Bridgewater, we have heard, has been condemned. (Prom the Paper ofJuly 2.) We understand that the Bishop of Calcutta is making arrangements fur the establishment of an infant school in the Bon Bazaar. We have Bombay Papers to the 13th June we take the following from the 12th : " The cholera morbus broke out on board hie Majesty's ship Buckingham, Captain Madden, on Thursday, the 10th instant, and by one o'clock on Friday eighteen hands bad died, and there were between thirty and forty in a very deplorable condition. The greatest aid was promptly administered by the medical officers of his Majesty's ship Challenger and of the Indiatnen. Medical aid was also supplied from the shore, and every measure that could arrest the progress of the horrid disease was speedily adopted by the Government. The surviving members of the crew were removed on Friday to Ilutcher'a Island ; such of the sick, however, as could be brought on shore have been removed to the hospital. The ship itself was ordered to be removed to the middle ground. " The disease is purely local, and none of the other Indiamen nor any of the free traders in the harbour have lh'en at tacked. On shore the complaint is gradually assuming so mild a complexion, that only eighteen cases were re ported as having taken place amongst the whole population in the middle of the week." We refer our readers to some remarks on the Game Laws, which will be found in another part of 7'he Sun. They are sensible and— (their chief recommendation)—evince a practical acquaintance with the subject. The writer dwells pointedly on the numerous instances that have come within his own personal knowledge, of the excessive partiality shown by some Magis trates to offenders against these iniquitous laws, and their as excessive severity to others. This is a grievance, but it is far—very far—from being the worst. The chief defect of the Game Laws Is that they confound all the distinctions of crime, demoralize the country, and bring the Government that upholds them into contempt. The orthodox doctrine of their supporters is that the poacher is the greatest pest to society ; that he is a felon unworthy of commiseration, unworthy even to exist ; and therefore fit only to herd with the vilest and most abandoned of mankind. " What, shoot my partridges and pheasants," says some thick skulled sporting aristocrat, to the trembling and perhaps starving criminal who stands before " Oh, the monster—the infidel—and," trio yunda in uno."" the Radical —away with him, such wretches are unfit to live." Accord ingly away goes the poor man to prison, unable o f course to pay the heavy fine exacted from him, and at the end perhaps of a month, during which period his _eyes have become familiarized to the spectacle of every species o f enorm i ty , i s let loose upon society with all the rudiments in hi s composition of properly a.a desper a t e — a s h ame l ess n vagabond. Under better syst em , thi s man a might have become an ord er ly, if not a respect able member of society; his first offence cc o h teicekoe of laws lamwisgiwahohsaeveavhoewd object)enelis last i ; s but to inculcateunder time superlative atrocity of one fool shooting a s rooting s still greater fool's pheasants ; to rate poach ing as a crime equal to highwayrobbery, • ra pe, or murder ; to make a Paria of the unpri vileged wretch who is guilty of it ; and by apt and adroit encouragemnt to teach others of his class to look upon him with a ihi orrence—und e r such •a villainous, unnatur 1 a system, what, we repeat is to he expected ? • Wh a t , . indeed The .Game - Laws are the nurseries Of crime They sow di scor d trioony exit ; whore kih * u tiach the tenant to look on his landlord with dis trust ; and the poor man to view in the wealthy his unwearied and malignant enemy. They are one of the few remaining relics of the feudal system—of those days when the life of a man was rated as of less consequence than that of a hare or a partridge. Surely in this enlightened age, when intellect is every where on the march except among the Boroughmongers, it is incum bent en the people to step forward, and tempe rately and constitutionally, but in a voice of au thority which may make itself heard throughout the kingdom, insist on the abrogation of a code of laws whose favourite object is rtill to keep up, and act upon, the idea, that man, in the scale of creation, is the least valuable of all animals ! There is no news of any consequence in the French Papers. The Patriote (a popular journal) has some sensible observations on the subject of the late attempt of the KING and his Government to save the conspirators, and urges that such leniency, however well -meant, is dan gerous as a precedent, and , cannot by any possi bility succeed. "Of what importance," asks the Patriote, "is the law to us ? Are the people conspirators ? Did they conspire in dark ness, when in July last, they fought in broad day-light against the battalions of CIIAIILIia X. ? No, the people never conspire; they know mot how to conspire." Despatches, dated the 10th instant, have been received at the Foreign Office from Colonel *KENZIE, at Lisbon. Lora HEYTESBURY his MAJESTY'S Ambassador at St. Petersburgh, has also officially informed our Government of the acknowledgment of PIIILIPPE the First by Russia. Mr. MANNERS SUTTON, it is rumoured, wishes to retain the SPEAKER'S chair for some time longer. It is supposed, however, that the present CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER will put in his claim.

The Illustrations of the " Christmas Box" proof impressions of which we have just received, are this year unusually beautiful. Consummate care on the part of the engraver is visible throughout the engravings, and on the part of the editor much taste has been evinced in the subjects selected for the artist's skill. Among our favourites are the pictures of the" Cottager" and the " Brigand," the latter of which displays infinite spirit and character. If the literary por tion of the " Christmas Box" equals its illustra tions, it will indeed be a gift worthy of the social season of Christmas. ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE OEM We have just seen a set of proof plates of the a illustrations of the Gem" for the ensuing year, which display much grace and talent. The engraving entitled " Vittoria Colonna" is well executed, and the " Portrait of a Boy," from the pencil of that eminent artist, the late Sir T. Lawrence, is worked out in a spi r it worthy of the. original. " Hope and Love" is likewise rich in the style of its execution as an engraving, though " Love" is of the lankiest of his order. " Mars Disarmed' is a sweet and graceful composition. THE FUNDS,-(THIS DAY.) CITY, ,T WEB VS, O,I.FLOCK. Madras Papers have .
