" Who runs may read." TOxisztz•zr. Tuesday being the fourth anniversary of the acces sion to power of the present Ministry, all the members of the Cabinet dined with the King at Saint Cloud. A Toulon letter mentions a report that, after the mar riage of the Duke d'Aumale, the Prince and Princess Joinville will take up their residence for the winter in the environs of Toulon. The Augsburgh Gazette states from )nstantinople, Oct. 9, that Mr. Bourne, the English Post-office agent, had returned to Alexandria from Cairo, after having had two interviews with Mehemet Ali, which has caused him to renounce all hope of success in the object of his mission. The Dowager Empress of Brazil and the Duchess of Leuchtenberg arrived at Munich on the 23d for the winter. The former will embark for Brazil in May. Accounts from Bayonne state that Colonel Raphael Mendiconti, formerly Aide-de-camp to Espartero, u ho ar rived there about three weeks before from London, set out on the 25th inst. fur Spain. The Marquis of Santa Cruz, a relation of the wife of Espartero, was arrested at the same time as General Atnettler, at the moment they were about to cross the Spanish frontier, and brought back to Perpignan. Th, Marquis was President of the insurrectional JP;„ts. at earthagena. The annual meeting of the proprietoi, o f t h e and Havre Railway took place on was Rouen attended by a great number o f ';vednesday, and and French shareholders. Ch both the English arles Laffitte presided. The report of the Pmg re :a6 of the works, and of their present state, was read the secretary, M. Thibaudeau, and it gave great satisfaction. By royal ordonnance, dated the 26th ult., the cv :_acorn-hettse of Boulogne-sur-Mer is added to the number of those previously indicated for the export of manufactured articles of gold or silver under the law of 19th Brumaire, year VI. It appears from a recent return that the population of the French colonies at the last census, in 1842, was as follows :—Martinique, 42,403 free, 76,172 slaves ; Gus daloupe and its dependencies, 37,830 free, 92,639 slaves ; French Guyana, 5,805 free, 14,500 slaves ; Bourbon, 39,060 free, 66,064 slaves. According to a statistical account published this year by order of the Minister of Commerce, it appears that, in the ten years from 1833 to 1843, the State expended for the maintenance of 10,933 convicts a sum of two millions four thousand francs, being an average of 82 centimes per day for each, whereas, in several of the de partments, the salary and emoluments of the teachers of public schools do not amount to 80 centimes per day. A letter from St. Pierre (Martinique) of the 26th ult., in the Memorial Bordclais, states that two bales of pamphlets, printed under the auspices of the Anti- Slavery Society, had been seized there on board the Bon-Henri, from Havre. It is added that the heads of the slaves had been previously turned by similar pub lications, and that a rising had been feare d, b u t wa s prevented by the energy of the authorities. L.3:97 AND POLICE'. The case of Mr. Renton Nicholson, of the Garrick's Head, in Bow-street, came on for hearing in the Insol vent Court before Mr. Commissoner Pollcck. The in solvent was ordered to be discharged.

A crossing- sweeper in Belgrave-square, who gave his name Teddy M`Donnough, was charged at the Queen square Court with having attempted to pawn a valuable gold Geneva watch, the property of Lady Selina Bridg man, which he had picked up in the street. The pri soner, in answer to the charge, said that he bad picked the watch up, and said he had tried to pawn it because he was in great distress. He was discharged, after re ceiving a severe lecture from Mr. Bond, and the watch was given up to her Ladyship's butler. "William Smith, charged with stealing a set of harness, the property of Richard Cooper, butcher, 54, Great Portland-street, was fully committed from Marlborough street. At Marylebone Benjamin Lambourn, who for a period of nearly 25 years has held the situation of waiter at Ibbotson's Hotel, Vere-street, Oxford-street, was brought up in custody, and remanded on a charge of embezzling money, the property of his employer. Edward Faithful, a warehouseman in the City, was brought up fur re-examination, at Union-hall, charged with violating the person of Sarah Alice Nott, of W al worth. He was bound over himself in 1,0001., and two sureties in 250/. each, to appear at the Central Criminal Court to answer the charge. An elderly female, named Sophia Jones, charged by Mr. Davis, the master of the Hammersmith (female) workhouse of the Kensington Union, with having refused to work, was committed for seven days, from the Ham mersmith Police-court. COUWW----P.A.5U10NA237436.. It is rumoured that her Majesty and ;he Prince Con sort intend, after returning from 1 1 ;arleigh House, the seat of the Marquis of Exeter, to honour with visits the noble owners of Goodwoofl, Arundel, and Strathfieldsaye Prince Paul Lieven arrived a few days ago from Paris and had been se: j ourning at Richmond until Thursday when lie cak e to town. The l iiuke of Devonshire, who is still at Hardwick closes his residence at that splendid mansion next week, and then proceeds to Chatsworth. The Marquis of Salisbury bas returned to town from Hatfield House, and has since gone to Wahner Castle, on a visit to the Duke of Wellington. The Duchess of Victory (Madame Espartero), accom panied by her eldest daughter and Colonel Guerra, wit nessed her Majesty's progress in the state procession on Monday from the house of a silversmith in the Poultry. General Espartero was prevented from joining his lady on account of indisposition.

The Countess of Jersey has left town to join the Ladies Clementina and Adele Villiers at Brighton. The Earl of Jersey remains in town. 31ISC zzaasav wow. Mr. Horace Twiss, Q.C., has been appointed Vice- Chancellor of the County Palatine of Lancaster. A correspondent states that the leet jury of the Savoy Liberty, on Wednesday, presented four booksellers in Holy well-street—three for selling obscene, and one for selling blasphemous works ; and levied penalties varying from 251. to 501.. upon them. 'he Hebrews in town having received more minute information respecting the extreme destitution of great numbers of their brethren and their families at Mogadore, who have literally been sacked and plundered of their all, have set on foot a subscription for their relief. The list is headed by the firm of Rothschild with 5001. Yesterday morning, between 5 and 6 o'clock, the pre mises of Mr. lk ni amiu, landlord of the Black Lion wine vaults, Vinegar-yard, Drury-lane (late in the occupa tion of the noted " Money Moses"), were entered by some thieves, who, it is supposed, effected an entrance by forcing the trapdoor of the cellar, and thence pro ceeded upstairs. to the bar, where they succeeded in stealing a quantity of copper and silver moneys from the till, besides table linen and wearing apparel, with which they effected their escape. Information has been given to the police of a burglary which was committed on the premises of Messrs. Wad dington and Co., Coleman-street, who, on their return to business on Monday morning last, discovered that the warehouse had been entered by some daring robbers, and an immense quantity of silks stolen. DR. WOLFF. We have just received, by express, a letter from our correspondent at Constantinople; we subjoin an extract : " CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 17, 1644, " I am happy to be enabled to state, on the best au thority, that advices have been received of the arrival of Dr. Wolff at Meru, on his way to Teheran. Having thus crossed the frontier of Bokhara, his personal safety has been insured, and his return to the civilised world will be hailed with general satisfaction. "Instructions of the most peremptory nature have been received from his Government by Sir Stratford Canning, to obtain the immediate and unconditional payment of the sum of 2,0001., which the Turkish Go vernment had acknowledged to be duo to Sir Baldwin Walker, but which, or► the most frivolous pretences, it had afterwards refused to liquidate. There are other pecuniary claims of British subjects upon the Porte with which the English Government would do well to deal in the same determined spirit."—Post. OLYMPIC THEATRE. (FROM A CORRESPOI4DFNT.) This favourite place of amusement is now rapidly un dergoing the process of thorough repair and re-decora tion, and, we believe, will open for the season in about a week. The legitimate drama, so long a stranger to its ancient abodes, is likely to become naturalized in this temple of the mouses. The spirited experiment tried at Sadler's Wells has proved so eminently successful, that little doubt can now reasonably exist it would find si milar encouragement elsewhere, under proper manage ment and with adequate talent. The new lessee at the Olympic has, therefore, probably chosen the wisest course. Romeo and Juliet will be the opening play. The heroine will be sustained by Miss Davenport, a young lady who is reported to possess no ordinary abilities for the character. Mr. Hudson Kirby, the Amerian tra gedian, Mr. Rayner, of rustic celebrity, Mr. R. Roxby, and other popular performers, are already engaged. • TIRE srJN, LONDON, FRI A Y EVENING-, NOVEMBER l, 1844.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN, SlR,—The game-preserving gentry and the game enactments are now becoming a by-word and matter of ridicule. There is as much squabbling amongst them (for the sport and the profit they have) as with so many boys about their playthings. The mania is really contemptible, and it is time some thing was done to put down the nuisance, for such it has really become. Nov. 1, 1844. LOOKER-ON.

Some uneasiness has been occasioned at the west end of North Shields during the last few days in conse quence of the surface of the earth having in several places, principally adjacent to the old gig-road leading from the Bull Ring to the Newcastle Turnpike, sunk or slipped from fifteen to eighteen itches. So singular a circumstance has, as may be supposed, been attributed to various causes, but the most common alleged one is that this movement of the earth has been occasioned by certain mining operations in the coal beds which inter sect the bowels of the earth in that locality.--Tyne Mercury. NEW MA/SUFACTURIL—A new feature in the silk glove trade has come to light, gloves being now made of silk without and cotton within. This is effected by having two carrier needles, the inner needle laying a silk thread at the same time that the outer needle is laying a cotton one under the jack-sinker nebs. The method is simple, and it is a desideratum that has been long sought for, to make a good plated article from the stocking-frame. There is an advantage to the wearer in these gloves, as they have all the elegant appearanc of silk, and pull on and off with much greater facility than gloves all silk, which, when the hand is damp, are difficult to be got off. —Nottingham Review. Silt WILLIAM FOLLETT.-Dr. Bright, whose pro fessional services were devoted to the Attorney-General since his departure for Italy, returned to this country on Saturday last from Milan, leaving his patient there greatly improved in health. Sir William Follett does not intend returning to England before February NEWCASTLE AND CARLISLE RAILWAT.--(511 Wed nesday, the six o'clock train from Carlisle, when be tween Prudhoe and Hag Bank, went through a drove of eleven cattle which had strayed upon the line, and passed over and killed three belonging to Mr. Laws. It appears that the regular watch man proceeded along his beat and found the line free from impediments, but it is supposed that the gate had been opened by some poachers, as very shortly before the servant of Mr. Laws had been to the field and seen everything to be correct. Though the engine was thrown off, no accident occurred, neither was any shock felt by the passengers, to convey whom to Newcastle coaches were sent. It seems that, from the numerous roads crossing the line, the Company exercise great vigilance in watching it, and have men stationed at regu• lar distances, whose duty it is to see it clear previously to a train passing ; in this instance, both the engineman and the patrol saw each others lanthorns.—Newcastle Advertiser. TAMAR SILVER AND LEAD MINING COMPANY.-- Yesterday, the annual meeting of this company was held at the office, 44, Finsbury-square, Mr. Joseph Grout in the chair. The report was read by Mr. Stainsby, one of the directors, from which it appeared that the prospects of the mine were much improving. At the north mine operations had been conducted with a view of developing the lode and communicating with the operations at Wheal Hancock, which was fully expected to be successful. At Wheal Hancock the nature of the ground was highly encouraging, and a school had been established, through the efforts of Mrs. P. Johnson, for the education of the miners after the hours of labour, at which a hundred and forty persons attended. The di rectors recommended the smelting of their own ores, in stead of getting them done by other companies, from which a great saving would arise towards an increased dividend.

THE IRISH GREAT SMOKERS.--The Irish peasantry, with scarcely an exception, are great smokers. The remark applies to the women as well as the men. The men usually begin smoking very young. I have seen lads with their pipes in their mouth who were not more than fourteen or fifteen years of age. The women do not begin until they are past forty. There are excep tions no doubt, but they are few. I could not learn a single instance of any unmarried female smoking before she had got to the wrong side of forty. When strangers speak to the Irish peasantry about their habit of smok ing, and point it out as one which is at once unpleasant to others and injurious to themselves, their invariable answer is, that it is forced upon them by their poverty. This may, at first sight, seem a contradiction, and yet it is, in a sense, quite true ; for the tobacco ope rates as a stimulant, and many of them who have no means of procuring a breakfast, manage to do without one by what they call a " draught " of the pipe. It is this con sideration alone that prevents some great effort, similar to the temperance movement, being made by the more influential friends of Ireland to induce the peasantry to renounce the habit of smoking.—lmpressions of Irelv , i , d and the Irish, by the Author of "Random Recollections." ESCAPE OF AN ELEPHANT.—After the performance at Van Amburgh's Amphitheatre in Chapel Field, on Friday evening last, the elephant was removed to a gig house at the Tuns Inn, opposite the city gaol, and chained to two largo iron stakes, which were driven a considerable way into the ground. The keeper locked the gig -house door, and retired to bed at the Tuns. Between twelve and one o'clock, the neighbours were dreadfully alarmed at finding the huge animal had left his house, and gone for a little country air. They im mediately gave the alarm to the inmates at the Tuns, and the keeper dressed with all speed and pursued his ward, accompanied by Mr. Kemp, Jun., with a lantern. After they had passed Mr. Unthank's, they were enabled to discover the route of the huge creature by hearing his chains rattle. He had got about three-quarters of a mile on the road, and the keeper, when within a hundred yards of the docile animal, gave the word to him to stop and turn back ; the mandate was instantly obeyed; and I el. re modem thei. npAglio. pitmen's nete v e ntilating ttae hidd he quietly returned to his lodging-house, and better pre caution was taken in fastening him. It appeared that, in consequence of the keeper having given the elephant a little more chain than usual, the sagacious beast had taken advantage of it, by forcing the bolt of the,lock. with his trunk.—Norfolk Chronicle. THE COXLODGE COLLIERY EXPLOSION.--An in quest was held on Wednesday night, by adjournment, at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, on the body of William Collin, who, it will be remembered, received severe injuries by the recent explosion of Coxlodge Colliery, and who died one day last week.

This magnificent ship has never yet been at sea, having been at moorings in this harbour for many years. The Apollo troop frigate, Commander Maclean, is ordered to touch at Cork, previously to going to Gib raltar and Malta. She left Spithead on Saturday, having on board royal artillery and other detachments to join their reinvents in the Mediterranean. The Queen s steam yacht Victoria and Albert is ordered to be taken into dock for further im provements. The promotion consequent on her Majesty's marine excursion has taken place, and in cludes Commander Hall (who so distinguished himself in China in the Nemesis steamer), the senior Lieute nant Tringham, who commanded the Nautilus brig tender, and Messrs. the Hon. G. Douglas and L. Pigott, mates. '1 he Eclair steam-ship, Commander Estcourt, is to join Commodore Jones's squadron on the west of Africa. She has been in this harbour several days, completing her machinery, having been hurried away from Chatham to this port, and in attendance on her Rbj esty. We are still without orders for the commissioning of any large ships. The Hastings, 72, will probably be the first. She is intended as the flag-ship in the West Indies, to relieve the Illustrious, 72 ; but the name of the Admiral has not yet transpired. The steam-ship Hecla, Commander Duffill, has left this harbour to rejoin Sir Edward Owen, at Malta, having been dispatched home with the news of the Morocco treaty.—Brighton Gazette. DEATH FROM APOPLEXY PRODUCED BY EXCITE• MENT.—The inhabitants of the romantic vicinity of Broms-berrow-hill were greatly alarmed on Sunday, by a report that a poor old man, 82 years of age, named Thomas Baker, had been murdered by his son. who had also attempted to murder his wife, and had after• wards cut his own throat. The facts happily turned out to be very different, and much less alarming than the fearful colouring which they had been made to assume. It seems that the son, who is a middle-aged man, is a person of dissipated habits, and of exceed ingly violent temper when under the influence of liquor. Coming home in that state on Sunday, a quarrel arose between him and his wife, and it is said that he at tempted or threatened to stab her with his knife. His aged father, who had a slight fit in the morning, desired the wife to make her escape, which she did. The old man then rose and walked across the house, it is sup posed for the purpose of expostulating with his son on his bad conduct, when, owing probably to the excite ment, he was seized with a fatal attack of apoplexy, as was testified by the surgeon, and died instantly. The son, who had been taken into custody, was consequently released. It is to be hoped that a lesson has been taught him which will induce him to become for the future a steady, sober, and industrious man.— Glaucester paper. METHOD PRACTISED IN GERMANY IN PAINTING WALLS AND CEILINGS.—For large paintings it is de sirable that the ground should be somewhat rough. In Munich it is prepared as follows :—A mortar composed of three parts of sand and one of lime is spread on the wall. When this is done, the whole surface, while moist, is rubbed with a linen cloth ; the result is a granulated ground, like rough paper. For small works, ornaments, &c., the ground requires to be smooth, and in such cases finely-pounded white marble should be mixed with the lime instead of sand ' • the mortar so composed being then carefully spread and made even. The encaustic vehicle is prepared as follows :—To one pound of recti fied spirit of turpentine add half a pound of Damara resin and a quarter of a pound of wax. The resin should be pounded to powder, and the wax cut up in small pieces. Both are then to be put into an earthen ware or copper vessel, and the spirit of turpentine poured on them. Place the vessel on a moderate charcoal fire, so that the solution may take place slowly. When the ingredients are dissolved, the vehicle is ready for use, and should be kept in a glass bottle well stopped, to prevent the volatile oil from escaping. Should the mixture be come too thick in time, spirit of turpentine may be added. The colours are ground in such a quantity of this vehicle as is necessary to saturate them. If during the grinding the pigment tends to set (dry), spirit of turpentine should be added. For extensive paintings the colours are kept in glass vessels. For smaller works they may be tied up in bladders, like colours for oil-painting. The same colours which are employed in oil may also be used in encaustic-painting.—The Builder. THE OVERLAND ROUTE TO INDIA.--ALEXANDRIA, SEPT. 26.—The English transit affairs seem to demand the particular vigilance of the Diplomacy. It appears that on the part of England new proposals are being made to the Viceroy for the establishment of a railroad between Cairo and Suez ; the representatives of the other Powers at the same time, less or more directly, exerting their influence to prevent Mehemet Ali from granting to the English such exclusive advantages, which would produce manifold difficulties, and prove detri mental to him and to his country. To execute such a costly undertaking at his own expense would be impos sible with the miserable financial state of the country. Why spend millions, sad why withdraw thousands of fellahs from the cultivation of the soil, to save the British ten hours of time, and a few shillings of transport charges, which the poor Bedouin is earning at present with his faithful dromedary ? We must further take into consideration what immense expenses and difficul ties would accrue to keep such a railroad in order, and to guard it sufficiently, because the nitric vapours of the desert, the moveable sands, and the Bedouins, deprived of their earnings, would severally contribute to destroy the railroad, or to render it at least from time to time useless. The representatives of several other States seem therefore to have acted quite right in dissuading the Paoha, who formerly appeared quite willing to un dertake it, from building this railroad, and drawing, on the contrary, his attention to the practicability of re storing and finishing the great canal between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean. This great work, even if only commenced during his reign, would hand the fame of Mehemet Ali down to posterity, and offer to all sea faring nations, the English excepted (?), incalculable advantages, raising at the same time Egypt to a degree of importance for all European nations, which would be a guarantee for its neutrality, because no State would like to see this important point in the hands of a powerful European Government.—German Universal Gazette. THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER.—As this day of juvenile rejoicing and prank-playing is near at hand, it should be remembered that the Act 3 Geo. IV., c. 126, makes it illegal to light a bonfire or discharge fireworks within a distance of eighty feet from the centre of a turnpike-road. 'We are gratified to learn that Lord Granville Somerset, the Chancellor of the Duchy, has nominated Mr. Horace Twiss Vice-Chancellor of the County Pala tine of Lancaster, in the room of the late Mr. Holt, with a seat in her Majesty's council of the Duchy. It is not by his professional brethren alone that any distinction bestowed upon Mr. Twiss will be heard of with pleasure. Politicians of all parties, and literary men of all ranks, will derive satisfaction - from the success of a gentleman, who, in times of the greatest party heats and strife, could firmly and consistently maintain his own principles with out asperity or wilful injustice to opponents ; and who has just crowned a literary life more laborious and more important in its labours than the world is perhaps aware of, by a biographical work, which, in point of interest and permanent value, is not surpassed by any of the class to which it belongs.—Morning Chronicle. SUICIDE OF A PARISH OFFlCER.—Yesterday fore noon Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest on the body of Mr. Robert:Fairs, aged 49, at his late residence, No. 3, Charles- street, Northampton-square, Clerkenwell. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased held the office of registrar of births, marriages, and deaths, for one of the districts of Clerkenwell, as also that of a collector, which latter situation he had filled for a num ber of years, and was highly respected by the pa rishioners. On Tuesday morning the deceased got up rather before his usual time, leaving his wife in bed. From thence he proceeded to the servant's room, and told her to get up. Some time after this the servant went down stairs, and on entering the back kitchen she found her master lying on the floor weltering in blood, he having cut his throat in a shocking manner. An alarm was given, and medical aid procured, but life was extinct. The deceased had been very desponding of late in consequence of pecuniary embarrassments, and had only a few days before endeavoured to take poison, but was prevented. The jury ultimately returned a ver dict of " 'Temporary insanity." MINISTERIAL CHANGES.—It is reported, in circles likely to be correctly informed, that Lord Haddington is about to retire as First Lord of the Admiralty, and that Lord Ellenborough will take his place. The fre quent interruptions of health to which Lord Hadding ton is sub % ject, and which have materially impaired his official efficiency, renders his Lordship's retirement from office by no means unlikely ; while the desire which the Cabinet must feel to propitiate Lord Ellenborough before the meeting of Parliament, by providing him with a good post, in lieu of that from which kis Lordship has been recalled, gives an air of probability to the latter portion of the rumour.—Evening paper. On Friday afternoon the Bankruptcy Court was crowded during the examination of Miehal Jacob, a Jewish insolvent. The keen and cautious answers of an ancient Hebrew, named Alexander, living in Sunder land, created considerable amusement, and the order of the Court was now and then disturbed by laughter, as the wily dealer parried the cross-examination to which he was subjected. Among other questions, the Commis sioner inquired what sum the bankrupt had asked of the witness for certain spying-glasses, to which Alexander replied, in the true phraseology of Holywell-street, that he had asked " a good prishe.' —Tyne Mercury. STABBING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF GAS.--At the exhibition of the laughing gas, by Professor Elliot son, at Washington Hall last evening, a sailor under the effects of the exhiliration cut the rope with which he was confined, rushed amongst the spectators, and seizing another sailor, gave him several severe and dangerous wounds with a jack-knife. The wounded man was taken across the street, and upon examination by physicians it was found that a deep wound was inflicted under the shoulder, and another, in the back, near the vertebrae. The sailors were unknown to each other. The wounds are not considered mortal--Boston Post. MAGAZINE DAY. BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE. Miss Elizabeth Barrett's recently published volume of poems—which we noticed a few weeks since in The Sun—forms the subject of a judicious and elo quent criticism in the present Number of this periodical. The Reviewer justly remarks :—" If the poetess does not always eornmand Qur unqualified approbation, we are at all times disposed i 6 Pend in reverence before the deep-hearted and highly-accom plished woman—a woman whose powers appear to us to extend over a wider and profounder range of thought and feeling than ever before fell within the intellectual compass of any of the softer sex." This is high praise, but it is not undeserved. Indeed, we will go even further, and say that in Miss Barrett's poems there are frequent evidences of a truer and deeper sensibility than has ever yet been exhibited by any female writer In the language. In all she writes, she writes evidently from the heart. There is no straining after effect—no hunting about for startling or novel imagery. She contents herself for the most part with the simplest and most obvious forms of ex pression ; never writes for mere writing's sake, but comes to a halt the instant she has fully expressed and exhausted the feeling of the moment. As we admire Mrs. Hernans for the exquisite polish of her language, and Miss Landon for her force and bril liancy, so we admire Miss Barrett for the depth and purity and sacredness of her feeling. Her poem of "Bertha in the Lane" is, of its kind, the truest to the human heart of any in the language, and we defy any one to read it without being deeply moved by its impassioned sensibility. Alluding to this lady's imi tations occasionally of the classical writers, the Re viewer says, "The purity of their diction, and nothing elm, has been their passport to immortality." Surely this is a most unjust dictum ! Is there nothing we admire in the Medea of Euripides, or the (Edipus Coloneus of Sophocles, but the purity of their die- tion ? Does the Reviewer forget the incomparable tenderness of sentiment shown in the closing scenes of the one ; or the majestic sublimity that charac terises the whole description of the passing away of the aged Edipus from earth in presence of his daughters, amid the gloom of that mysterious grove where the awful voice of destiny alone breaks on the awful stillness of the hour ? Again, do we admire nothing in the gay, convivial, worldly Horace—the fanciful and luxuriant Ovid—or the subtle, metaphy sical Lucretius, but the " purity of their diction ?" It is not by their style alone that authors gain immor tality, but by their thoughts and sentiment ; and it is for their excellence in these respects, as well as for the graces of their language, that we still pay willing homage to the genius of the great writers of antiquity. " The O'Connell Case" is an account, evidently drawn up by a lawyer, of the reversal of the verdict in the Irish State'frials delivered by the House of Lords. It is rather late in the day to discuss such a question, but it is impartially and skilfully canvassed. "My College Sketch " is a lively sketch, the dialogue por tions of which possesses ease and spirit. The " Tomb less Man" is an impressive poem, in which Delta essays a higher flight than he has yet ventured to undertake. We quote from " Marston, or the Me moirs of a Statesman," a vigorous description of the first attack on Valenciennes by the allied armies in the revolutionary year 1793 : " But in the interval, important changes were made in the formation of the columns. The French lines had been found of unexpected strength, and the Guards were pushed forward to head a grand division placed under command of General Ferrari. The British were, of course, under the immediate orders of an officer of their own, and a more gallant one never led troops under fire. I now, for the first time, saw the general who was after wards destined to sweep the French out of Egypt, and inflict the first real blow on the military supremacy of Franco under Napoleon. General Abercromby was then in the full vigour of life ; a strongly formed, manly figure, a quiet but keen eye, and a countenance of re markable steadiness and thought, all gave the indications of a mind firm in all the contingencies of war. Exactly at noon, the fog drew up as suddenly as it had de scended, and we had a full view of the enemy's army. No foreign force ever exhibits so showy and soldierly an appearance as the British. The blue of the French and Prussians look black, and the white of the Austrian looks faded and feeble, compared with ,the scarlet. As I cast my glance along our lines, they looked like trails of flame. The French were drawn up in columns in front of their camp, which, by the most extraordinary exer tion, they had covered during the night with numerous batteries, and fortified with a circle of powerful re doubts ; the guns of the fortress defended their flank and rear, and their position was evidently of the most formid able kind. But all view was lost, from the moment when the head of our brigade advanced. Every gun that could be brought to bear upon us opened at once, and all was enveloped in smoke. For a full hour we could see no thing but the effect of the grape-shot on our own ranks as we poured on, and hear nothing but the roar of the batteries. But at length shouts began to arise in distant parts of the field, and we felt that the division which had been appointed to assault the rear of the camp was making progress. Walmoden, commanding a brigade under Ferrari, now galloped up, to ascertain whether our men were ready to assault the intrenchments. The British troops are always ready,' was Abercromby's ex pressive, and somewhat indignant, answer. In the in stant of our rushing forward, an aide-de-camp rode up, to acquaint the general that the column under the Duke of York had already stormed three redoubts. Gentle men,' said Abercromby, turning to the colonels round him, we must try to save our friends further trouble — forward !' Within a quarter of an hour we were within the enemy's lines, every battery was stormed or turned, and the French were in confusion. Some hurried to wards the fortress, which now began to fire ; a large body fled into the open country, and fell into the hands of his Royal Highness ; and some, seizing the boats on the river, dropped down with the stream: All was victory : yet this was to be my day of ill luck. In pur suing the enemy towards the fortress, a battalion, which had attempted to cover the retreat, broke at the moment when my company were on the point of charging them. This was too tempting a chance to be resisted ; we rushed on, taking prisoners at every step, until we ac tually came within sight of the gate by which t he fugi • tives were making their escape into town. But we were in a trap, and soon felt that we were discovered, by a heavy discharge of musketry from the rampart. We had now only to return on our steps, and I had just given the word, when the firing was renewed from a bastion,ronnd which we were hurrying in the twilight. I felt a sudden shock, like that of electricity, which struck me down ; I made a struggle to rise on my feet, but my strength wholly failed me,'and I lost all recollection. " On my restoration to my senses, in a few hours after, I found that I had been carried into the town, and placed in the military hospital. My first impulse was, to examine whether any of my brave fellows had shared my misfortune ; but all round me were French, wounded in' the engagement of the day. My next source of congratulation was, that I bad no limb broken. The shot had struck me in the temple, and glanced off with out entering ; but I had lost much blood, had been trampled, and felt a degree of exhaustion, which gave the nearest conception to actual death." BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY. In Mr. Murray's present chapter of the " Physio logy of London Life" there occurs the following re mark, which we quote for its strict caustic truth : " The delapidated habitations of the rich, abandoned by their advance in the comforts and decencies of life, degenerate into abodes of the poor. There is no such thing thought of, with all our thinking, as providing the poor with habitations fitted to their wants and means, unless they become chargeable to us as pau pers; humble industry may hide its head where it can ; so long as it is in working order we take no heed of it ; but the moment it is demoralised or de pauperised, we have the most elegant model prisons to correct it, and the most beautiful union work houses to lock it up in." The " House in the Terrain" is an interesting account of a painter's ad venture in Paris, with two thieves who broke into the chamber where he was sleeping, and attempted to murder him. Luckily their attempt was frustrated, and the painter escaped with a few slight wounds. The " Gaol Chaplain " contains a clever story, illus trative of the crime of incendiarism, and the suffer ings in which it originates. The " Private Secre tary" is an interesting sketch of character by a writer who signs himself Albany Poyntz. The " Gates of Death" is an impressive narrative, by Bayle St. John, in which the horrors of the battle-field are de scribed with singular force and truthfulness. The " Fortunes of the " Scattergood Family" is some what prosy this month. From an article on " Eton Scenes and Eton Men," we subjoin a brief sketch of the Duke of Wellington when an Eton Boy . " The first and noblest character of the present age to be mentioned in connexion with Eton scenes and Eton men, must be the Duke of Wellington. Wellington was an Eton boy, and if tradition may be credited, a daring and adventurous one. He seems to have been a lad not given to much study and painful research into books, Nature having already placed an original stamp upon him, and presented him with the highly-favoured signet of her own right hand. He who is now familiarly called the Iron Duke,' might well have been, in the earlier stages of life yclept the Iron Boy. Instances of the Duke's hardiness, or rather, of young Wellesley's hardi ness (as then simply was) are on record ; and among them is related, that when all the good burgomasters and thrifty tradesmen of Windsor and Eton had retired to rest, young Wellesley on the commence ment of a cold winter's night would be proceeding up old icy Father Thames, in a lonely skiff, to the vicinity of Maidenhead-bridge, and there, wrapt in single blanket, and watching with single gun, he would be ready by day-break to get a shot at the wild ducks, or other wild fowl, which were accustomed to congregate under shelter of the eyots, and other harbours of refuge on the Thames. " Every one to his taste,' a fashionably dandy will exclaim ; but young Wellesley was no man of fashion, and his tastes were all of the daring and grand. When we consider the stratagem necessary at a school like Eton to achieve what Wellesley did ; perhaps the squeezing through a small window, and traversing frozen roofs of houses ; the obtaining clandestinely the gun, and the skiff, and ammunition, with conveyance of his blanket, and the needful prog ; and then the diffi culty of an undiscovered return, loaded with booty. Let us think of these thing s , an d t h en acknowledge in the very boy that something prognosticated the wonder ful and unexampled career of the European Duke.

" The room in which he slept is still shown at Eton, and was the one apportioned to myself for a consider able time. In this room Wellesley, Leith, and myself, passed many hours in reading Byron, and Scott, and NToore, and other leading authors, and in talking of Welin;Von, and his connexion with it. The boarding house in wii;Clthis room may be seen is situated at the upper end of Etoa (furthest from Winds or) , and wassx kept in my time by eell9.t people of the name of Ragueneau ; and the large bock house (now coloured, I believe), immediately beyond wI2P I was occupied by the Rev. Charles Yonge, my inestimabit; tutor, who was a superior man, both in the acquirements of paid and disposition. Perhaps the house would best be inibeated now by a large elm which adjoined it by the end next to the street, and which, doubtless, is still growing there, while generations of men, like its leaves, have fallen away. If the internal arrangement of this house be still the same, the visitor to 'Wellington's room must turn short to the right after having ascended the litte dark stairs, and then turning to a right-angle again, the door on the left-!land will take him into it, and it will be found to be a ratk:-.r large room, fitted for three beds, and with a window looking out at the front of the house. Here the Woodhouses and myself lodged ; and just op posite the door. and across the vlssav, is a small one bedded room, which was occupied by any friend Carew, now Sir Walter Palk Carew of the fair lie of Devon." NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. We are glad to meet with Miss Eliza Cook again. who contributes to the Number before us a little poem, entitled " My Old Straw flat," in which occur a succession of pleasing, picturesque, and familiar images. " Scenes in Society" are laid in fashionable life at the West-end, and refer to the particulars of a murder, by the agency of poison, which was perpe trated on his wife by a young rout, Jack Grandison, who was anxious to have the full and uncontrolled possession of her fortune. The " First Meet of the Season" is a tale of a humorous caste, by a writer who has frequently contributed to the pages of this Maga zine, under the homely signature of " Peter Priggins." The humour, though broad, is by no means of supe rior excellence, and reminds us, as with a difference, of Theodore Book. In the " Talleyrand Papers" there is some twaddle about the celebrated necklace affair which, it may be remembered, created such a prodigious ferment in France, a few years previously to the breaking out of the first revolution. Talley rand's account of this affair amounts to little or no thing, and leaves it just as great a. mystery as ever. The " Outcast" is a strange story, by the Medical Student, of a young man, handsome, accomplished, and well-born, whose life is yet uniformly rendered miserable from the circumstance of his being a leper, and hie nervous anxiety to keep this visitation a se cret from the whole world. The scene wherein the fatal discovery is at length made, is worked up with considerable skill and spirit. In " Social Piracy" there are some sketches of society in the middle grades of life. The " Robertses on their Travels" lags terri bly in places, as if the author, Mrs. Trollope, was chiefly desirous to furnish a certain amount of matter for the Magazine without regard to its quality. We quote Miss Cook's " Old Straw llat," to which we have already alluded : Farewell, old friend, we part at last, Fruits, flowers, and summer, all are past, And when the beech-leaves bid adieu, My old straw hat must vanish too. We've been together many an hour, In grassy dell and garden bower, And plait and ribbon, scorch'd and torn, Proclaim how well thou hast been worn. We've had a time, gay, bright, and long, So let me sing a grateful song, And if one bay-leaf falls to me, I'll stick it firm and fast in thee, My old straw hat. Thy flapping shade and flying strings, Are worth a thousand close-tied things. I love thy easy fitting crown, Thrust lightly back or slouching down ; I cannot brook a muffled ear, When lark and blackbird whistle near ; And dearly like to meet and seek The fresh wind with unguarded cheek. Toss'd in a tree thou'lt bear no harm, Flung on the sod thou'lt loose no charm ; Like many a real friend on earth, Rough usage only proves thy worth, My old straw hat. The world will gaze on those who wear Rich snowy pearls in raven hair, And diamonds flash bravely out, In chesnut tresses wreathed about ; The golden bands may twine and twirl, Like shining snakes through each fair curl, And soft down with imperial grace, May bend o'er Beauty's blushing face ; But much I doubt if brows that bear The jewell'd clasp and plumage rare, Or temples bound with crescent wreath, Are half so cool as mine beneath My old straw hat. Minerva's helmet ! what of that ? Thou'rt quite as good, my old straw hat ; For I can think and muse and dream, With poring brain and busy scheme. I can inform my craving soul, Row wild bees work and planets roll, And be all silent, grave and grim, Beneath the shelter of thy brim. The cap of Liberty ! forsooth ! Thou art the thing to me in truth, For slavish fashion ne'er can break Into the green paths where I take My old straw hat. My old straw hat, my conscience tells Thou hast been hung with Folly's bells, Yet Folly rings a pleasant chime, If the rogue will but " mind his time," And not come ,jingling on the way When sober minstrels ought to play. For oft when hearts and eyes are light, Old Wisdom should keep out of sight. But now the rustic bench is left, The tree of every leaf bereft, And merry voices, all are still, That welcomed to the well-known hill My old straw hat. Farewell, old friznd, thy work is done, The misty clouds shut out the sun ; The grapes are pluck'd, the hops are off, The woods are stark, and I musi doff , My old straw hat—but " bide a wee,'' Fair skies we've seen, but we may see Skies full as fair as those of yore. And then we'll wander forth once more. Farewell, till drooping harebells blow, And violets stud the warm hedge-row — Farewell, till daisies deck the plain, Farewell, till spring days come again— My old straw hat. I AINS WORTH'S MAGAZINE. The present portion of Mr. Ainsworth's new tale, " The Revelations of London," commences with a sketch of the well-known Rookery in St. Giles's, which is full of vigour, and minute to a degree in point of detail. In a dingy cell in the very heart of this notorious spot—which, by the bye, has no longer an existence—a brace of foot-pads and a dog-fancier are represented as indulging in a carouse, and dis cussing between whiles the numerous pecuniary ad vantages by which the honourable profession of dog stealing is recommended. The dialogue that takes place between these congenial spirits is in the low flash style of their calling—of which we have had enough, and more than enough, in our modern fictitious literature—but we cannot compliment ALr. Ainsworth on the success with which he has acquitted himself. The conversations of his ruffians want truthfulness, and that inimitable ease which Dickens knows so well how to impart to such subjects. " A Jar of Honey from Mount Ilybla" is in Mr. Leigh Hunt's liveliest and most graceful manner, and furnishes us with some delightful gossip about ees, and the way in which they conduct the affairs of their commonwealth. "In the morning," says our , essayist, " the bee has probably been at the break fast-table in the shape of honey ; in the evening she is the waxen taper ; in the summer-noon/ a voice in the garden or the window ; ire the winter, and at all other times, we meet with her in books. She talks Greek to us in Sophocles and Theocritus ; Virgil's very best Latin, in his Georgics ; and besides all her charming asso ciations with the poets in general, one of the Eliza bethan men has made a whole play out of her—a plaY in which the whole dramatis personce are bees !" In the above passage a common-place is invested almost with novelty by the graceful fashion in which it is turned. "Winter Wanderings" describes the results of some archeological researches made by Mr. Francis Ainsworth, among the more unfrequented districts of Asia Minor. " Doomed to Disappointment " is a chatty little essay, in which occur one or two of snob home truths as o ccasionally delight and surprise us in the quaint pages of old Montaigne—the raciest of gossips, the most welcome of egotists. The " Country Curate " is an entertaining tale from the pen of Mr. Charles Oilier. :In the Editor's tale of " St. James's,' . which is fast drawing towards a close, we find an ac count of the final quarrel between Queen Anne and the Duchess of Marlborough, whose characters have been sustained throughout the narrative with very commendable consistency. The sketch entitled " New South Wales " gives us an opportunity of quoting th e subjoined description of its capital, Sydney is the Pall-mall ': " George-street, it appears, ney, and 'up and down its hot, dust 3-, glaring, g o , f w S e y ar d ; length, go the fair wives ar enjoying eto h e s their t rdati\i,ler. and daughter s Long of the citizens, . strings of carriages s a ii i i r g in f, : orwaiting near the ' fashion able emporiums,th e a s t pe b e e i l a ng the del t i er h m t in ii\v,lolich `ladyAus,trs.- lien shopke epers Sydney (your grocers, and especially butchers' wives included) b l e n • Neves in the possibility of walking ; but the ' turn outs,' motley enough in appearance, are often much wanting in well-appointed equipages; boxes are fre quently innocent of hammercloths; and the horses tap generally undersized, and terribly out of proportion wffls the carriage behind them.
