BRIGHT'S V ISIT TO DURHAM. r an e for this city, a dd ressed the electors and other (From the S un d er l an d H erald.) i m nh eOm a n b b i eW t after the doors were opened the building was crowded to excess, and hundreds of persons were unable to obtain admission. At seven o'clock Mr. Bright appeared on the stage, accompanied by a large number of his friends and con stituents. He was greeted on his appearance with loud and enthusiastic cheers. On the motion of Mr. Oliver, seconded by Mr. J. E. Marshall, JOHN HaIIiDERSON, Esq., was called to the chair, who opened the proceedings in an appropriate speech, during which he referred to the fact that former representa tives of the city had not been in the habit of meet ing the inhabitants in this manner. They were much indebted to Mr. Bright for having introduced so good a custom.—(Applause.) Mr. BRIG.:Pr was hailed with rapturous cheering. His speech occupied nearly two hours in its delivery, and many of its passages were extremely able and eloquent. We are only able to present our readers with a brief abstract. He commenced by stating the object of their assembly, which was that he might advert to his votes during the last session of Parliament, state to them his views of the present position of the free-trade question, an d receive from them any hints or suggestions as to their wishes for the future. He was sorry to hear that similar meetings had not been hereto fore held in the city of Durham, for he was convinced that nothing was of more importance than that Members should frequently meet their constituents, especially when the connexion which subsisted between them was only of a political character. Members were far too apt to be profuse of promises on the hustings, and forgetful of them in the House of Commons. His professions as a candidate were chiefly confined to one question—the question of free trade, in the fullest sense of the word ; not in corn only, but every other article of import, and with respect to every article of domestic or home manta facture.—(Applause.) The peculiarity of the circum stances attending his election seemed to demand that such a meeting should take place, for he came to the city an entire stranger, not knowing a single individual in it, and having no reputation here, save the fleeting and un satisfactory one arising from his name often appearing in the columns of the newspapers. They were satisfied with his professions, and sent him to Parliament; he had now returned to give them an account of his past conduct, and ask their approbation of the past, and their support for the future.—(Applause.) In taking a review of the mea sures of last session, he first adverted to the question of the sugar duties, explaining the discriminating duties as they existed previous to the alteration made by Government, and vindicating himself and his colleagues for the vote they gave in favour of Government and against Mr. Miles's amendment on that question— an amendment which, he said, was supported by the Whigs simply with a desire to outvote the Ministry. Next came Mr. Villiers's motion for a repeal 'of the corn-laws, and on the second night's debate the late Whig Ministers absented themselves from their usual places in the House—it was a studied insult to the advocates of free trade, because they refued to vote with the Whigs to turn out the Tories. The only exception was a nobleman nearly allied to this county, the representative of a neighbouring borough—he al luded to Lord Howick—(Applause)—and his speech was perhaps—he was going to say without any exception— the most powerful and the most beautiful speech he had ever heard in defence of free trade.—(Applause.) The Whigs attempted to lessen the minority on that division, but they did not succeed; the same number of votes was registered in its favour as on the preceding year, whilst from 20 to 30 voted with the League in 1844, who had never voted with them before. —(Applause.) Later on in the session Mr. Gibson proposed that a Government Commission should be issued to go down into Suffolk, Essex, and parts of Cambridgeshire, for the purpose of ascertaining the causes of the incendiary fires which were then raging. Mr. Gibson is a Suffolk landowner, although he represents Manchester, and as the squires who represented the rural districts sat and voted as if they had left an Elysium, he felt it his duty to bring forward the question. The commission was not issued, the incendiary fires had gone on and are going on still, and Government and the landowners refused to inquire into the cause of this lamentable state of things. He (Mr. Bright) said that th e preva l ence of inceniarism showed that there was something rotten in the state of the agricultural districts —something was out of joint, when men, honest and well-meaning as any then pre sont, were tempted or driven to raise their hands against the property of their neighbours and employers; and the members of the League would have been wanting in their duty if they had neglected to bring this important matter before Parliament, especially when they found it was a subject which the representatives of the agricul tural counties were afraid to grapple with. After some further statements, the Honourable Member continued: —No party had ever yet been able to make the Leagne a tool or instrument to aid its purposes, and no party should ever do so.—(Cheers.) He then adverted to the importance of free trade, and to the increased commerce which it would bring between this and other countries. Their opponents knew that free trade was good, or why did they rejoice over a free trade tariff for China? Sir Henry Pottinger had been feted, and eight or nine thou sand pounds had been subscribed (chiefly by monopo lists) to purchase an estate for him, because when the Chinese were in a very humble mood, as most men are when they are beaten, he established a tariff, by which wheat and provisions of all kinds should enter China free of duty, the ships which brought them being also free from the usual port charges; by which there is to be no discriminating or protective duties; and, according to which all duties for revenue are to be moderate. Now this was just such a tariff as the League wanted; and if it was good for China, he did not see why it should not be, good for England; yet the very men who lauded Sir Henry Pottinger for doing this for China heaped calumny and abuse upon the Anti-Corn-law League, because they were anxious to establish such a tariff in England.— (Loud applause.) After adverting at considerable length to the injurious operation of the corn-laws, and showing that the present state of commercial prosperity was owing to the cheap price of bread, arising from a bountiful harvest (which blessing would be perpetuated by a repeal of the bread tax), he stated the means which the League was now employing, viz., increasing the county constituencies by the addition of free trade voters, for hastening the abolition of monopoly. In re. viewing his own conduct during the last session of Par liament, he had only one cause of regret, and it was that he had suffered the Night Poaching Bill to pass without opposition, a Bill which made it equally criminal for a man to be found armed on the high road as in his neighbour's lands. This Bill was smuggled through the House, and he had lost sight of it. He the more re gretted this circumstance, because he believed if any one Member had fairly opposed it, it. would not have passed. He had some consolation, however, in believing that now, when the evils of the game-laws have become so fearful that a reconsideration of them must speedily take place, this further extension of them would add to the hatred against a system more tyrannous and galling than any that ever existed—a system which in 1843 consigned 4,500 of his fellow -countrymen to gaol, and which, within the last ten years has caused the deaths of 41 game keepers, in 26 of which cases verdicts of wilful murder were returned by the coroners' juries, besides the death of a great number of poachers. If anything could add to the hideousness of the features of these laws, it was the measure which was passed in the last session of Parliament. He had already given notice of his inten tion to bring forward a motion in the next session for the appointment of a Committee to inquire into the ope ration of the game-laws, especially as they affected the prosperity of the farmer, and the morals and conifoit of the labourer. He hoped and believed that the Govern ment would grant him a Committee on this important subject, and he anticipated much benefit from their labours. Mr. Bright then recounted the grounds of hope for the future ; concluding a brilliant speech by assuring them that he should return to the House of Commons stimulated and strengthened by the manner in which he had that night been received, and determined to devote himself incessantly and unswervingly to the advocacy of those great and just principles which first recom mended him to the good opinion and suffrages of the electors of the city of Durham. [The Hon, Member then resealed his seat amidst the Most deafening plaudits of the crowded audience.] Mr. BaestWELL moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Bright for the able review which he had taken of the proceed ings of Parliament during the last session, and for his past exertions, and expressive, also, of full confidence in his future conduct, Stows, FRIDAY AF TERNOON.—Previous to the ban quet last night, Mr. Smith, the Mayor of Buckingham, presented the addresses of the borough of Buckingham to her Majesty and Prince Albert. In the evening Jullien's band performed several fa vourite pieces of music, of which her Majesty expressed her approbation. The Life Guards' band played dur ing dinner. Her Majesty retired to rest at half-past eleven. In the course of the day Mr. Smith, the librarian, and Dr. Buckland exhibited and explained to her Majesty the contents of the museum. This morning her Majesty rose at seven, and remained in her private apartments till luncheon. At ten Prince Albert went out shooting to Stratford hill-wood. He w as accompanied by the Duke of Buck ingham, the Marquis of Chandos, the Earl Of Jersey, Colonel Bouverie, Mr. Anson, Colonel Carrington, and Captain Robarts. The party returned at about one o'clock, the Prince having shot 80 pheasant, 66 hares, and 2 rabbits. After luncheon her Majesty and the Prince planted each a cedar and an oak in front of the Temple of Con cord. Her Majesty left the mansion soon after three o'clock, and walked with the Duke of Buckingham to the spot. Prince Albert walked with the Duchess, and the chief guests followed. As soon as the trees had been duly planted, according to custom, the Duke of Buck ingham cried out " God bless Queen Victoria." Those who accompanied her Majesty cheered and waved their hats, as did some spectators at a short distance. The dinner party to-night will consist of the royal party and the guests in the house, with the addition of Mr. and Mrs. Duprite, the lion.

The royal party leave to-morrow (Saturday) morning at ten o'clock. The train is ordered at Wolverton for half-past eleven, so that it is probable her Majesty will arrive at Euston-square at about one o'clock. Last night there was a display of fireworks in the mar ket-place of Buckingham, much to the delight of the good people of the town. The weather here to-day has been very fine. In our report of Friday an inaccuracy occurred in litho description of a piece of silver plate. It is a group of Sir Bevil Grenville, and not of Sir Grenville Temple. Sir Bevil Grenville, or Granville, as he is sometimes called, lost his life at the battle of Lansdown-hill, where he charged a body of pikemen, who defended an emi nence. Mr. Cotterill is the artist who designed and modelled the group. -- - THE POOR KNIGHTS of WINDSOR A very important document connected with the en dowment of this ancient order has recently been disco vered among the archives of the Court of Wards and Liveries, which promises to become the subject of legal controversy, involving, as it does, the rights of the Poor Knights of Windsor Le the distribution among them of a large and hithert unapprAp..at-xl income. The docu ment in question is a verified copy (signed by Cecil, Lord Burleigh) of the charter, under the sign manual of Queen Elizabeth, instituting the above order, and bears date the 20th of August, 1558. The following is extracted from the indenture prefixed thereto .--‘‘ And whereas divers manors, lands, tenements, and heredita ments mentioned and contained in the schedule hereunto annexed, of the clear yearly value of 6001. and above, are given and assigned unto the dean and canons of Windsor, and their successors, to and for the intent and purposes that all and singular the premises, the revenue, and profit s o f the same shall for ever be employed and bestowed in the maintenance and sup port ot thirteen poor knights within our Castle of Windsor in such manner and form as in a book hereunto annexed, and signed with our sign manual, is set forth and declared." Following this is a covenant, on the part of the dean and canons, " to employ the rents, revenues, and profits of the same, in such manner and form as is therein set forth and appointed." The charter then goes applied ltd sta ou te t o t f ha t t he th s e am 6" et u o a W l towards p sum of a yi 231 L the vicar's and serving priest's wages, officers' fees, and in the repairing of the lands. The book annexed to the indenture con. i 6s. Bd. shall be tains a description of the services to be performed, a schedule of the lands, and an account of the privileges to be enjoyed by the knights. The present value of the endowment is upwards of 1,000/. per annum, although the stipend hitherto paid to the knights has never exceeded 401. a-year. Until the discovery of this interesting and valuable relic, which appears to confirm the right of the knights to the f u ll appropriation of the endowment of their order, it was concluded that the charter of Elizabeth, and all copies thereof, were in the possession of the dean and canons of Windsor, and no access thereto has ever been permitted to the knights. The opinion of counsel has been taken upon the sub ject, which is stated to be favourable to the knights, and proceedings will be immediately instituted to recover their rights. The schedule of the lands is interesting, as showing their N alue in the time of Elizabeth. The following are some of the principal e x tr acts from the ch ar t er , w i t h the annual rentals annex ed:— "Cornwall—St. 61 nwa 11 4 —S . ; riu t.

It is engrossed on vellum, and amongst other attractions, not forgetting the autograph of the celebrated Cecil, is a likeness of the royal founder of the order of the Poor Knights, which is ascribed to Holbein. The motion was seconded by Mr. J. E. MARSHALL, and carried unanimously, and with loud acclamations. Mr. BRIGHT returned thanks. The dense assembly separated about half-past nine o'clock. VISIT OF THE COURT TO STRATHFIEDSAYE.— WINDSOR, FRIDAY EVENING,—Iier Majesty and Prince Albert (who are expected to arrive at the Castle to morrow, to luncheon, from the seat of the Duke of Buckingham), will take their departure on Monday next for Strathfieldsaye, where the Court will remain until the following Thursday. Her Majesty and the Prince will proceed through Bracknell and Oakingham, at both of which places stabling has been engaged for relays of the Queen's horses. Her Majesty, alter partaking of an early luncheon on Monday, will leave the Castle at two o'clock in the afternoon, so as to reach the residence of the Duke between four and five. The distance from Windsor to Strathfieldsaye, about twenty-five miles, will be accomplished is two hours and a half. The first stage, to Bracknell, is nine miles; the second, to Oak. ingham, six miles; and thence to the seat of his Grace ten miles. SALISBURY.—FREE TRADE IN THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY l—On Monday evening last, the tradesmen employed by the firm of Maton and Co., brewers, of this city, entertained their friends in a spacious room elegantly fitted up at the brewery, in Milford -street, when a jug, containing the modest quantity of fourteen quarts,was filled again and again with superior strong beer. This vessel is one of the relics of curiosity belonging to the late Joiners' Company now extinct in this city, and was used by the company in 1527; but - what is most remarkable is the fact that on this jug are the words, still legible, "Iregg Trade," 4 in the NUM pf the evening, belonging to the Tailors' UlarnilarlY , wa t l also presented to the numerously ass e mbled guests, on also foaming with malt and hop production.

The Earl and Duchess during the repast frequently honoured the assemblage with their preseme, —Doncaster Gasdlect AWFUL OCCURRENCE. On Friday, Thomas Couch, a middle-aged man of moss repulsive appearance, and who was described in th• police-sheet as a wheelwright, was charged at Lambeth Police-court with being drunk on that morning, and obstructing a police-constable in the execution of hie duty. Thomas Messer, police-constable L 99, deposed that about half-past two o'clock on that morning ho heard a disturbance in Fore-street, Lambeth, and on going to the house No. 28, in that street, he found the prisoner at the door, endeavouring to force his way in, while the occupier was endeavouring to keep him out, and, at the same time persuading his wife, who was in a state of intoxication, to go up stairs to bed. The wife declared that she should not, anti that if the husband did not think proper to admit the prisoner into the house, she should leave it, for that wherever he was there she should be also. The husband, upon seein; him (witness) complained bitterly of the conduct of his wife, and said that though the mother of six children, she had formed an improper intimacy with the prisoner— that she had been away from her home all the evening and night with him, until that hour, and that ho knew not on earth what to do with her. Witness, upon hear ing this, told the prisoner that unless he went quietly about his business, so as to put an end to the disturbance, he should take him to the station-house. The prisoner still persisted in forcing his way into the lipase, and pushed witness about once or twice. He then ' l aid h• certainly would take him to the station-house, wheni he woman inside said she should be taken there too, and repeated, that wherever the prisoner was there she would be. Her husband, the instant she had uttered these expressions, was in the act of falling, when aitness caught him in his arms, and on procuring a light found that he was quite dead. Mr. Norton --Do you know of your own know ledge whether the parties had any struggle in the pas sage, or whether the deceased received any injuries ? Witness—l don't think he did, Sir. There was no mark of violence on him, and the doctor who examined hi ale of opinion that he died from some internal cause. He told me himself, a moment or two before his death, that his heart was quite broken with the conduct of his wife; and when some person said " the man is dead," his wife exclaimed, " Thank God for it." Mr. Norton—Did the unfortunate man seem mach excited immediately preceding his death ? Witness— Not very much so, Sir. He seemed to me to be very de jected and low in spirits; in fact, quite cut up. Mr. Norton—Have you ascertained what the deceased was, and what his name is ? Witness—Yes, Sir, his name is Charles Ingas ; he was a harness -maker by trade, and about 60 years of age. James Mills, a boat-builder. said he had seen the pri , soner and Mrs. Ingas drinking together at several public-houses on the night before. He first saw theta about half-past six in the evening, and heard the pri soner say be had come to take her away from her has band. He also saw them go into the house of the de ceased about two o'clock in the morning, and immedi ately after heard them both singing in the lower part of the house. This caused Mr. Ingas to come down stairs, and he (witness) heard the deceased frequently tell the prisoner to leave his house, else he should give him into custody. The other part of the witness's testimony was confirmatory of the constable's. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said that ke had known Mrs. Ingas for about twelve months, and that he should not have acted as he had done had he not been very much intoxicated. Mr. Norton observed that the case was one of a shock ing and lamentable character, and ordered the prisoner to find bail for his good conduct for three months, sad also to pay ss. for being drunk. The prisoner not being prepared with the reqntreti sureties was sent to Horsemonger-lane Gaol. T- - - - LITERATURE. MODERN COOKERY. London, Longman, 1845. " The proper and wholesome preparation of our daily food," says the authoress of this work in her preface, " though it may hold in the estimation of the world but a very humble place among the useful arts of life, can scarcely he considered altogether an un important one." Miss Acton here underrates the science of gastronomy, which is so far from holding " a very humble place among the useful arts of life," that it is considered by all right thinking people as one of the most important pursuits to which human invention and ingenuity can be directed. Look, for instance, at the respect —w e might almost say, the superstitious veneration—which is paid to it in this, the first metropolis of the civilised world ! Tbink of the intense —the yearning spirit of devotion exhibited by our august civic dignitaries on the first entrance of the savoury callipash and calippee into Guildhall on that day of days, the ninth of November ! The Ministers of the Crown, the judges, the bishops, &c.--all these illustrious per sonages are lost sight of in the absorbing attention paid to the venison and turtle, which may justly be pronounced the " Lions " of the festival. Then the famous whitebait dinners at Blackwall ! What well disposed Christian but looks forward to these pleasant episodes in daily life with rapture, and remembers them with affection, thus cultivating, in connexion with them, both the " Pleasures of Hope " and of " Memory ?" The late Sir William Curtis was imbued with so profound a veneration for the science of gastronomy, that he never saw a haunch of venison hanging up in a poulterer's shop, but he took off his hat to it as a mark of respect; and the strongest ex pression of feeling we ever saw depicted in the human countenance, was in that of a seedy epic poet who was standing with his nose flattened against the win dow-pane of a cook's shop, sniffing the fragrant perfumes that came steaming up from the kitchen. In every age of the world almost every writer of emi nence has borne testimony to his love of good eating and drinking. Homer is full of allusions to these pleasant matters ; and in his very first book of the Iliad he describes his gods and goddesses pitching into the nectar administered to them by Hebe, with such un common vigour, as leaves an impression on the reader's mind that they will all be dead drunk within the hour. Descending to more modern times, who forgets the constant references of Horace to his suppers with Mercenas, and his sketch of the party at Nasidienus's, where, if it had not been for the unlucky fall of the curtain, the guests wou ld h ave en j oye d their fill of good things as completely as if they had been dining with Lord Walbrook Gibbs at Guildhall ? In the inimitable pages of Cervantes our delightful friend Sancho "tucks like a Trojan" —to use a well-known simile—and it is a remarkable fact that in the social Scotch novels the heroes and heroines never once lose their appetite, no matter h ow d e li cate may be the distresses i n which they are involved. Again, in the "Noctes Ambrosianse "—would they could be continued I—the redoubted Christopher NOrth takes every opportunity of impressing his readers with a lively sense of his gastronomic capabilities ; and even Milton, notwithstanding the surpassing loftiness of his theme, contrives to get up a very pretty little im promptu supper for Adam and Eve in Paradise, which they discuss with a relish worthy of an alderman. It was Doctor Johnson's opinion that the hour of dinner is the most important in the whole twenty-four; and regularly as that welcome hour approached, his face —especially if he happened to be dining with Mr. Thrale—would be lit up with a radiant expression resembling inspiration. Had the Doctor been now living, we cannot doubt but he would have been de lighted with the volume before us, which treats of the best methods of preparing his favourite meal, with an earnestness—a skill—and an animation worthy of all possible laud. Like the late illustrious Kitchener—that erudite professor of gastronomy— Miss Acton gives no receipts but such as she has her self strictly tested. Eschewing the theoretical, she confines herself to the practical portion of the science ; and some of the sauces for which she offers receipts are so piquant and relishing in their cha racter, that a man might almost digest his own grandmother with them. But it is on soups that she is greatest. On this important subject her genius absolutely runs riot in its prodigality of invention ; and her details respecting the best method of pre paring the " Lord Mayor's Soup"--what a soup that must be !—might beget an appetite " under the ribs of death." We have perused her volume in a spirit of the profoundest reverence, and cordially recom mend it to the attention of all gastronomists, who constitute by far the most intelligent portion of the creation. _HE LATE RosSEEY.—We find that the Procureur du Roi of this city received a letter some days since from Mr. Nobler, the solicitor of Messrs. Rogers and Co., to request him to give, officially, a notice to the bankers, money-changers, and principal hotels here, where foreigners are in the habit of coming, of the list of the stolen Bank of England notes, and to caution the bankers and others that they should examine 8.11 Bank of England notes offered to them by foreigner s ; and that if they took any of the stob n notes after that notice, loss would fall upon themselves, as the 'payment of all the notes was stopped. We believe Mr. nobler has taken the same steps with every British Emb,-assy and Consulate in Europe, and the o ffi cial noticr,s when completed will be forwarded to England ; SO that let a note come in from Paris, Brussels, or any other city or town in Europe, there will be official proof of notice against the banker through whose hands it may have passed, and thus rendering it hopeless in him to expeet payment of the note. We have learned also that the Bank of England have issued a new 1,000/. note, dated the 13th of November, 1844, instead of the 13th of May, 1844, which is the date of those stolen from • Messrs. Rogers and Co., and that application has be - en made to the bankers in London and throughout tbl'i United King dom, to send in to the Bank of Englezd all the 1,0001. notes of the 13th of May, 1844, which we believe his been complied with, so that there would now be none returned into the Bank to be exchanged but -those that were stolen.

The boring for water is completed, and a very plentiful supply has been obtained. For several days past the engines have been employed in raising water, which has been found quite equal to the demand which, will be required, and a jet of water has readily bee n forced to a height of 30 feet in the basins. The well in Trafalgar -square has been sunk to a depth of about 160 feet, and that in Orange-street, Leicester-square, which is on a higher elevation, about so feet deeper. The large cistern at the top of the engine -house will hold 38,000 gallons of water, and that at the top of the tower, which is about 20 feet higher, about one-third of that quantity. In addition to furnishing the fountains, these are tended to supply the whole of the Government buildings and offices in the district, for daily use or emergency, cases of fire, for which pipes are now being laid down. The ornamental iron work for the jets is in a skate of great forwardness. The water, which rises in the borings to about 60 feet of the surface, is pumped up by two Cornish engines of 20 horse power. SAMARITAN FUND OF THE ST. GEORO4 AND Si,. JAMES'S DISPENSARY. —At the close of the 'year 1843 the six medical officers of this charity, who attend 5,000 patients annually, and visit a large proportion at their homes, finding that an immense amount of &NW., was incurable from want of proper air, food, and ',clothing, proposed the formation of a fund, which, in addition to medicines, should supply these requitits::s. The fund was founded, and 3001. was collected in annual subscrip tions and donations. By means of this fund the sick poor have been supplied during the pres en t year, orders from the medical o ffi cers attending th em , w i th 10,408 half-quartern loaves, 3,004 pinta of milk, 2,859 pints of soup, 583 flannel shirts, and 465 ventilators.

THE 13REAIEWATER LIGHTHOUSE, PLYMOUT/U--011 Thursday morning, the 16th instant, at half-past elsral O'clock, Mr. Jones, the head-keeper of the Breakwater Lighthouse, was unfortunately washed off that struts. Lure by an immense ware which came in from the south ward. Ile was proceeding from the east end towards the west to receive some clothing from a boatman named Forward, who had been sent out by the lightkeeper's wife. Forward recovered Mr. Jones's cap, but states that Mr. Jones sank immediately. Graham, the man or duty at the lighthouse, instantly hoisted a signal of die. tress, and the foreman of the works, Mr. Findlatez promptly left the Chatham hulk with a number of hi s men, who used every exertion in their power, but with out effect.

The red morocco binding of this epic poem is all that binding should be; the paper and print, too, leave nothing to be wished for on the score of neatness and elegance ; but when we come to speak of the blank verse in which the poem is written, all that we can say is, that it is very blank indeed! As far, how ever, as mere scansion is concerned, we have nothing to object to in the lines, for they are correct to a nicety ; but, alas, there is no poetry in them—no graceful or sparkling imagery --no impassioned feel ing—all is as dull, cold and barren as the road, ac cording to Sterne's Smellfungus, " from Dan to Beer sheba." The subject of the epic is the achievements of Napoleon, whom the author has taken for his hero for the singular purpose of abusing him in every page; and " whose conquests," he tells us, " Whose conquests, glories, crimes, and sudden fall No feeble muse may sing. Thy mighty deeds, Proud Corsican, demand Homeric lyre !" Of course the author is satisfied that his is " no feeble Muse," or he would scarcely have undertaken to sing of deeds which demand " Homeric lyre ;" but we must beg to join issue with him on this point, for his muse is as " feeble" as if she had only just reco vered from a six months' attack of influenza, and is far better qualified to sound the praises of General Tom Thumb, than of the Emperor Napoleon. In the march of his verse the author is an evident imitator of Milton, and, like him, is fond of introducing proper names on all occasions; but the swelling, stately, organ-like roll of the melody in "Paradise Lost "is wholly wanting in "Napoleon," which moves heavily on for pages together at the dull, leaden pace of a broad-wheeled waggon, and without making the slightest approach to music of versification. We know not when we have met with so presumptuous a production as the one before us, which, constantly at tempting to be brilliant, is constantly dull by mis take. The only tolerable passage in it is the de scription of the battle of the Pyramids, and even here there is more smoke than fire. DIARIES AND CORRESPONDE2VCE OF THE EARL OF MALMESBUI?Y, Vols. 111. and IV. Bentley, London, 1845. These volumes conclude the Diaries and Corres pondence of the Earl of Malmesbury—who, in the opinion of Talleyrand, was one of the most sagacious statesmen of his age...and commence with the year 1793, and olose with the year 1813. If they do not throw much important additional light on the history of this stirringperiod, th e y are , a t any rate, exceed ingly ent e rtaining, for they are crowded with inci dents ; and we find in them numerous characteristic sketches of some of the most eminent public men with whom Lord Malmesbury was brought into con tact in the course of his long and active official career. Pitt, Canning, and that bigotted old woman, Adding ton, are frequently bought on the tapi s , and of Can ning the noble author says :—" He has been forced like a thriving plant in a well-managed hot-house; he has prospered too luxuriantly ---has felt no check nor frost. Too eady in life he has had many, and too easy, advantages. This, added to very acute parts, makes him impatient of control." The whole of Canning's political career justifies this sagacious description of him which was penned in the year 1803, when he was yet but a statesman of promise, not of perform ance. Of the late Emperor Alexander the noble author appears to have entertained no very high opinion, and alluding to the b a ttl e o f F r i e dl an d , i n which the Russians were worsted hy Bonaparte, says, " though not deci s i ve as a battle, it was a complete victory over the mind of the Emperor Alexander; from that day . all his boasted courage ended; and fear, panic, and every dastardly feeling terror and dismay could suggest, seem to have taken at once possession of him." These Diaries and Correspondence will furnish excellent materials for the use of some future historian of the bustling periOd to which they refer, for, generally speaking, they are free from strong political preju dices, and the author was a cool, wary, astute ob server who was not likely to be led very far astray from the truth i n hi s estimate of men an d things. We have no space for extracts, or we would quote som e amus i ng passages from during the ricketty administration o f Mr. A HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. London, Cadet', 1845.
