He arrived in London about half-ea.it eleven o'clock, and drove, we believe, to Mivart's Hotel. _ _ _ The King of Saxony arrived at Buckingham Palace on Saturday from the Isle of Wight. He is a fine looking man, nearly six feet high. his countenance bespeaks a high dfe. , ree of intelligence, combined with a benevolent and affible expression. The object of his Majesty's •visit to England, apart from the natural desire to pay his respects to the Queen, is slated to be, that he may have an opportunity of viewing the magnificent resources of Great Britain, as shown in her manufactures, and in the high state of cultivation at whill she has arrived. his Majesty is accompanied by his Prime Minister, M. Minkowitz, with whom he frequently engages in conver sation on subjects concerning the relative condition of England and the various continental governments. The King is in his forty-seventh year, though, from the loss of some of his front teeth, his appearance would indicate that he was ten years older. The Emperor of Russia, we understand, proceeded to Buckingham Palace at an early hour on Suni!ay, to pay his respects to the Queen, and in the evening a dinner was given in honour of the two Sovereigns. The Emperor Nicholas is in the 48th year of his age. He is of a dark complexion, has a fine, manly appearance, and the most unaffected demeanour. His manner altogether forms a perfect contrast to the accounts published of him in several foreign journals. He paid a visit to' this country some twenty-eight years ago, accompanied by his brother, the Grand Duke Michael. JOURNEY OF THE EMPEROR NICHOLAS. WOOLIVICII, SATURDAY, lansacitT.—His Imperial Ma jesty, Nicholas the First, Emperor of all the Russias, attended by General Count Orloff, and a numerous suite, left Rotter dam at half-past two o'clock on Friday afternoon for Eng land, in the Dutch Government steamer Cyclops, Captain Balken, and arrived off the royal dockyard at ten minutes to ten o'clock this evening. The Emperor reached the Hague on Thursday night, from Berlin, and left that place on the following morning for Rot terdam, accompanied by M. Ryk, the Minister of the Navy to the King of Holland. His Imperial Majesty embarked about two o'clock in the Cyclops. The Merassie, Captain Baars, and the Cerberus, Lieutenant May, also Government steamers, in the service of the King of Holland, being appropriated to the accommodation of the various members of the Emperor's suite, and to the conveyance of the royal carriages and bag gage. At half-past two o'clock the squadron left Rotterdam, M. Ryk accompanying the Emperor as far as Helvoetsluys, where the Cyclops cast anchor at eight o'clock in the even ing, when that officer took leave of his Majesty. At three on Saturday morning, the royal squadron set sail for Eng land. Considerable uncertainty had prevailed as to the exact period at which the Emperor would arrive, and Baron Brun now, the Rusm-ian Minister at the Court of London, went down to Woolwich at an early hour on Saturday, for the purpose of being in readiness to receive his Majesty at any time. Baron Brunnow was accompanied by the Russian Consul- General, Le Chevalier Benkhausen, and both these gentlemen took up their quarters at the residence of the Captain-Su perintendent, Sir Francis Collier, in the dockyard, where they slept last night. At as early hour this morning they were upon the parade, in the full expectation of the Em peror's immediate arrival. General Lord Bloomfield, the Commandant of the garrison ; Sir James Collier, the Captain Superintenednt of the dockyard, and Major-General Cubbage were also in waiting to receive the illustrious tourist. No intelligence as to his Majesty having left the Continent, however, arrived during the day, and all was uncertainty up to the last moment, when just before ten o'clock, the Royal squadron was observed by the men on the look-out coming ,up Woolwich Reach. Sir Francis Collier immediately put off in his barge for the purpose of conveying Baron trunnow and the Chevalier Benkliausen on board the Cyclops to pay their respects to the Emperor, and in a very few moments returned with his Imperial Majesty and Count Orloff, who landed at the dock yard stairs, and at once proceeded to the Captain-Superin tendent's residence to await the arrival of the carriages which had been ordered for the conveyance of the Royal party to London. The Emperor was attired in the Russian costume—his commanding figure being enveloped in the ample folds of a rich cloth cloak, trimmed with fur, while upon his head he wore a sort of turban. Hia Majesty is upwards of six feet high and of robust appearance. As the Royal party crossed the parade, it was impossible to avoid being struck with the remarkable appearance the Emperor presented. His tall manly figure and open countenance set off to the greatest possible advantage by the mode of dress adopted, was in itself sufficient to stamp him as a truly royal personage. On arriving at Sir Francis Collier's residence, the Emperor was met by Lord Bloomfield, with whom his Majesty con versed for some time, and after expressing his acknowledg ments to the Captain Superintendent for time attention which had been shown towards him, at half-past ten entered Baron Brunnow's carriage in company with General Count Orloff, and drove rapidly off towards town. The following is a list of the suite accompanying the Emperor to England :—Gene ral Count Orloff, Consellier d'Etat and Adjutant to his Imperial Majesty; General Adlerberg, Prince Radziwill, Prince Was selehikoft, and Captain Adlerberg, the three latter officiating as Aides-de-Camp to the Emperor; and Dr. Reinolds, his Imperial Majesty's private physician. The Emperor having expressed a wish, through Baron Brunnow, that his arrival at Woolwich should take place as privately as possible, no royal salute was fired when his Ma jesty landed, nor was there any guard of honour in attendance. ARRIVAL OF THE EMPEROR AT THE RUSSIAN EMBASSY. The Emperor of Russia, attended by General Count Orloff, arrived at Baron Brunnow's residence, in Dover-street, at a quarter past eleven o'clock precisely, on Saturday evening, His Imperial Drajesty travelled in the' Ambassador's car riage, drawn by four postshOrSes, and upon leaving Woolwich took the lower road, through Gresnwich and New Cross, by Camberwell and Kennington, to the West-end of London, Upon arriving at the Embassy, the Emperor was received in the entrance-ball by the Baroness Brunnow and by the Ambassador's secretaries, M. C. de Koudriaffsky and M. de Berg. His Majesty shook bands cordially with the Baroness, and was subsequently conducted to the suite of apartments prepared for his reception. At a later period the Em peror partook of coffee with the Baron llrunnow, who ar rived in town from Woolwich, with Chevalier Benkbetnien and the other members of his Majesty's suite, shortly after eleven o'clock. The Emperor retired to rest before midnight. The Emperor's attendants and several members of hie suite were accommodated in the various hotels in the neighbourhood. VISIT W TITS IMPERIAL MAJESTY TO THE QUEEN AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE. Yesterday morning the Emperor rose slicltlY after eiglit o'clock, and breakfasted in his private apartinent with 4 limited number of his suite b efore nine. After breakfast his Majesty walked in the gardens at the rear of the embassy for some time, unattended by any members of his suite. Precisely at balf , past nine o'eloelL his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by )IlitjOrrci?lig4l 13PWAter and the Hon. Captain Murray, arrived at the embassy from pnelt. iug4em Valace, in one of the Royal carriages, on a visit to the Emptkpi, His Imperial Majesty was in the act of descending to re ceive his Royal Highness when both illnstripes individuals met on the grand staircase. Their siteetingixas of the most affectionate arid enrdial character. The Emperor threw his arms round the neck or the Prinee Consort,' and embraced bins fervently, Prince Albert returning his :ipigp with great apparent feeling. 'pp Emperor then led his Royal guest into the drawing room of the manr,ion, where they remained engaged in con versation for a cousi4444le perll44. The Emperor inquired affectionately after the Queen, ;Ind exp - ceed an tamest hops that his sudden arrival in England would not he Mlowed to inc,onvenience her Majesty and the Prince in any way-, adding that he purposed to remain at any rate for a short period in the mansion he then occupied, The Prince upon this wail understood to intimate that IPP9lWelllePee come possibly result by the Emperor's immediate removal to the Palace. Apartments had already been prepared, and it was her Majesty's earnest desire that the Emperor should at sass remove Shither with the whole of his suite. At ten o'clock the Prince Consort issok. his departure, promising to return at half-past one o'clock for the peroose of conveying the Em peror to Rgekingham Palace on a visit to her lqii.j e 6iy. Shortly heroic eleven o'clock, the Emperor, accompanied by General Count Orioa, If atop Brunnow, and other members of his suite, left Ashburnhain House, to attend Divine service at the chapel of the Russian E m b ass y , in Welbecksstreet, The c hapel not unusually crowded, probably owing to the visit of the EMPTPT bein altogether unexpected. The service was performed by the 4qV altogether Popoff, At its conclusion the Illustrious party returned to the E m : bassy, arriving there at a few minutes after one o'clock. The Earl of Hardwicke, one of the f i ords in Waiting to her Majesty, Lieut.-Colonel Berkeley Drummond, Gropin in Waiting, and LieuissColonel Wylde, Equerry to Prince Al bert, arrived at. 4s4blii*Nli) Ifouse about half-past twelve o'clock, and upon the MIMI , of tile s EIIIPPFPF from chapel were introduced to . his Imperial *sty, The Noble Earl informed the Emperor that be 1444 received for himself and the two above-named officers her Majesty's isonniands to be in attendance ay on the Emperor during his stay in this country. The t ilipPFPr 'WO pleased to express his thanks . for the attention shown to ihim, and conversed with the Noble Earl for some time. At half-past one o'clock precisely his Royal Highness Prince Albert returned to the Embassy, on this occasion accompanied by Sir Hubert Peel. The carriage containing the Prince and Sir Robert reel drove into the court yard of the mansion, when this Royal Highness alighted, and, with Sir Robert Peel, entered the hall. Ilere they were met by the Emperor, and the Prince having presented the Premier to his Imperial Majesty, the Emperor shook hands heartily with Sir Robert. The Emperor then entered the Prince's carriage, and, to. gether with his Royal Highness, drove off towards Bucking ham Palace. Bobert Peel rode in the second carriage, with General Count Orloff and General Adlerberg, several members of the Emperor's suite following in other carriages. There were very few persons assembled in Doversstreet at this period to witness the departure of the Royal cottage, and no manifestation of loyalty took place beyond a respectful uncovering of heads, as the illustrious individuals passed out at the egat O arriving at 11441001 am Palace the Emperor was pre sented to her Majesty by Prince Albert, His Imperial Ma jesty subsequently partook of a splendid deJcuner to which the Queen invited him, and afterwards paid a visit to the King of Saxony, in his apartments at the Palace, ii if two the Royal carriages were again ordered to the gut a for thp purpose of conveyi ng th e E m peror on a round of visits to thisvdtdo4S insmbers of the Royal family, and at twenty-five minutes to three his IlliPerial Majesty en tered the first carriage, accompanied by his Royal Highs news Albert. In the second carriage rode General Count Orloff and Baron Brunnow, and four oilier carriages were filled by the Em peror's suite. A great many persons had by this time assembled in the part . an 4 the Royal cortege made its egress front the marble 'arch in argot of the palace, although the illustrious party were not gvesteu with i,o4!",er , Ts cheering, there was a general and respeJfal obeisance perioriilot Lire mid i s per, tiers of the spectators, while the softer sex eXhibiteu their loyal feelings by waving of handkerchiefs, &c., all which Inaolfestatkis WerP graciously acknowledged by the Emperor. __The Royal party drat proaseded to ;Marlborough House to pus' a Visit to the Queen Dowager: aril} thence went to Cambridge House, to honour the ptike and pueivs, of Cambridge with a call.

The Gallant Duke descended to the hall to receive his Imperial Majesty and the Prince Consort, himself conducting them to the splendid saloon on the first floor of the mansion. The Em peror appeared delighted to meet the Gallant Duke, and after shaking hands very cordially with him, entered into conversation for some minutes, complimenting his Grace on the splendour of his mansion and its appurtenances. Thence the Royal cortege drove back to the Embassy where the Emperor alighted and took leave of the Prince Consort, not, however, before he had promised to accept an invitation to dine with the Queen and his Royal Highness at Buckingham Palace last evening. At half-past four o'clock the Emperor retired to his private apartment, and, being excessively fatigued from the exer tions of the last few days, fell into a sound sleep, from which he did not awake until nearly six o'clock. During this interval his Majesty the King of Saxony, at tended by the Baron Gersdorlf and M. Minkowitz, called at the Embassy. The King would not allow the Emperor to he disturbed, anti left Ashburnham House without seeing his Majesty. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge also called shortly after the King of Saxony had left. The Royal Duke was attended by Baron Knesebeek, ar.d having conversed for some time with Baron Brunnow, also left without seeing the Emperor. This was the second time his Royal Highness had called on the Emperor yesterday, without bring fortu • nate enough to meet his Majesty, the Duke having reached Ashburnham House just as the Emperor left in the morning with Prince Albert. At a quarter to eight o'clock, three of the Royal carriages drove up to the Embassy, for the purpose of conveying the Emperor and his suite to Buckingham Palace—and at a few minutes before that hour his Imperial Majesty, accompanied by General Count Orloff, got into the first, his suite entering the succeeding carriages, which together drove off in the direction of the Palace. The Emperor wore the full dress uniform of a general officer, and all the members of his suite (with the excep tion of Baron Brunnow and Dr. Reinholds) were similarly attired. His Imperial Majesty returned from the Palace about eleven o'clock, and slept at the Embassy last night. This day the Emperor will proceed from London to Windsor Castle, on a visit to her Majesty, the Court being about to remove to that place. The Emperor of Russia is forty-eight years of age. His Imperial Majesty has once before visited this country-, viz., in 1817, now nearly twenty-eight years ago. Notwithstand ing this lapse of time the Emperor had a most perfect recol-• lection of all the striking points of the English coast, and was continually walking to and fro on the deck as the Cyclops came up the river, pointing out to the officers of the ship the most remarkable objects on either side. His Majesty has won golden opinions from the Dutch sailors and marines, many of the old ones among whom he singled out . and en gaged in conversation on subjects suited to their several capacities. When off Margate-roads, by the Emperor's especial desire, dinner was served on the after-deck, upon such tables as the exigencies of their position could supply. The Emperor ap peared to enjoy his repast exceedingly, and drank the Queen of England's health on board after dinner, the crew respond ing to the sentiment in enthusiastic style. Captain Hay, one of the Assistant Police Commissioners, has been appointed to attend his Majesty during his stay in this country. He has a small body of officers of the A divi sion under his command, and is attended by Mr. Superinten dent May and two or three inspectors. Mr. Steed, who is attached to the private establishment at the Palace, remains on duty at .Ashburnham House during the Emperor's residence there. WINDSOR, SUNDAY EVENING. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, ac companied by the Emperor of Russia and the King of Saxony, and attended by their respective suites, will arrive at Windsor to-morrow afternoon between three and four o'clock. The Royal carriages have been commanded to be in attendance at the Slough station at a quarter past three o'clock, the Queen and the Royal and illustrious visitors having arranged to leave the Paddington terminus of the Great Western Railway at three precisely, by a special train, in the state carriage of the company. From the unexpected arrival of the Emperor of Russia in this country, and his visit to her Majesty at Windsor not having been known until a special messenger arrived with the intelligence on Friday morning, the greatest activity and bustle have prevailed at the Royal residence to make the necessary additional extensive preparations for the reception of the Russian Autocrat. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, attended by the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, will leave Paddington for Windsor by a special train two hours before the departure of their illustrious pa rents. The Royal carriages have been commanded to be in waiting at the Slough station by a quarter past one o'clock in the afternoon. Her Majesty and the Prince Consort, accompanied by the Emperor of Russia and the King of Saxony, and attended by a numerous suite, will, according to present arrangements, honour the races at Ascot with their presence on two days in the ensuing week, viz., on Tuesday next, to see the gold vase given by her Majesty run for; and on Thursday, the gold cup day. A larger party will be present at the Castle during the race-week than has been ever before known upon a similar occasion. Amongst the distinguished personages who have been honoured with invitations from the Sovereign are the Duke of Wellington, the Right Hon. Sir Robert and Lady Peel, the Earl of Aberdeen, the Right Hon. Sir James Gra ham, the Earl and Countess of Jersey and Lady Clementina Villiers, the Earl and Countess Delawarr and Lady West, the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl and Countess of Wilton, his Ex cellency Baron de Gersdorff, his Excellency the Baron Brun now, the Earl of Rossiyn, Marquis and Marchioness of Douro, the Duke of Rutland, the Duke of Devonshire, &c. In order that accommodation may be afforded in the- car riages of her Majesty to the unusually numerous party whir . • will proceed with the Sovereign from the Castle, to the course, on Tuesday and Thursday next, several of the royal equipages will be forwarded to the Castle to- morrow, from town, by the Great Western Railway, and the remainder after the departure of the Queen ; the whole of which will be required, in addition to those which are n ‘T 7 at the Royal mews at the Castle, for her Majesty's illustrious and distin guished guests. A grand military review will take place in the Great Park, on Wednesday neig.t, before her Majesty, Prince Albert, the Emperor of Russia, the King of Saxony, and the whole of the visitors at the Royal residence.

He understands therefore his posi tion ; and he has the ruerol intrepidity which prompts him ever to dare that which his intellect assures him is politic. He is, consequently, at the same time, sagacious and bold in council. As an administrator, he is prompt and ind,fatigable. He is tot a natural avatar, and labours under physical deficiencies which even a Demosthenie impulse could scarcely over come. But he is experienced in debate; quick in reply, fertile in resource; 'takes large views; and frequently compensates for a dry an d hesitating manner by the expression of those noble truths that flash across the fancy, and rise spontaneously to the lip, of men of poetic temperament when addressing popular assemblies, if we add to this a private life of dignified repute; the accidents of his birth and severed from the man, the reek, which never eau be scion „f a great historic faintly, and bore, as it were to the hereditary ,ierviee of the State. it is difficult to as aeriai„ at w h a t period, or under what ciroutustances, the '-- Whig party have over possessed, or cou ld o b ta i n, a more efficient leader.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING.—The death of the Earl of Harrovvby, Lord Sandon's father, which was so often rumoured on former occasions, was again revived today, and circulated in almost all quarters of the town; and, as usual on similar occasions, the candidates for the borough were speedily announced, namely, Mr. William Brown, on the side of free trade, and Sir Edward Cust, of Leasowe Castle, Cheshire, on that of the monopolists. The rumour, however, appears to be once more un founded, for the Earl is still alive. consequence of the sen T te ß n ° c ° e P p s as F s ° e ß d u i p it )r 1 1 ).

The Chelsea out-pensioners, who have recently been enrolled in the different counties of Ire land and England, have also received orders to hold themselves in marching order to replace the troops of the line, should they be roqu:rod.—Sanday Times.

BLACK IVOO D' S MAGAZINE. Captain Jesse's Memoirs of the celebrated—or rather notorious--Beau Brummell—the ultimus Re nzanorum' that is to say, th e l as t o f t h e B eaus, w h o exercised as despotic a sway over the west-end as ever did Beau Nash at Bath, forms the subject of an amusing notice in the present Number of this Maga. zine. Strange to say, this egregious coxcomb, who never had a grandfather, and who had no large for tune to back his pretensions, was held in the utmost reverence—not to say awe—by the proudest and richest and most ancient aristocrats in the land; made the fortune of every tradesman whom he employed, and brought into celebrity every"tnan with whom he dined. To have had Brummell for a guest at once qualified his host for admission to Almack's. To have been quizzed by Brummel was equivalent to a sentence of ostracism from the beau monde. To have been seen walking with Brummell, was to ensure the fortunate individual the entry into Carlton House. Even when cut by the Prince, this incomparable Beau still maintained his proud position in high so ciety, and his well-known threat of " bringing old George into fashion," by way of spiting the " un grateful" Regent, was scarcely a mere empty boast. Had he determined on electing a chimney-sweep to the throne of fashion, we really believe he could have done it. And by what means did Brummell acquire this unrivalled influence ? Was it by his personal attractions—his wealth—his ancient descent—his talents as an orator, a statesman, a wit, or a p oe t? Nothing of the sort. It w as solely by his good taste in dress, and his invention of the starched cravat ? What a comment is this on the habits, the tastes, the lofty intelligence, and sound discriminating sense of patrician society during the boasted Regency, which some Tory scribes have defined as the Augustan age of England! Walter Scott in the height of his po pularity—Lord Byron in the meridian of his powers —Moore in the golden days of " Lallah Rookh" and the "Irish Melodies" —never exercised half the influ ence over the lounging fashionable world, that was exercised by a man who had nothing to boast of but intrepid impudence and skill in the art of dress. But, like Napoleon and other mighty potentates, Brummell was doomed to meet with his reverses. He met his Leipsic in the loss of his fortune at play—his abdica tion was brought about by his duns—and he found his St. Helena at Caen, where he died in 1840, a beggar, a lunatic, and in rags ! " Traditions and Tales of Upper Lusatia" is a curious account of some of the superstitions still prevalent in a small, se questered district of Germany, on the confines of Bohemia. The fairy tales introduced into the article are very agreeable and novel specimens of their class. " Who Wrote Gil Blas ?" repudiates the claims of Le Sage to the honour of this admirable production, and proves, by a chain of reasoning which in our estima tion is conclusive, that it was entirely of Spanish origin. In the brief sketch of " Michael Kalli phournas," one of the Greek patriots, we find one or two anecdotes illustrative of the private and public character of King Otho, which certainly will not impress the reader with any very profound admira tion of his sagacity. But crowned heads are often apt to be exceedingly thick ones. " Africa" furnishes us with much minute and circumstantial information respecting the interior of this vast, mysterious conti nent, which has been the grave of so many tra vellers, and which seems destined to all eternity to baffle the enterprise of man. " Columbus" is one of Mr. Simmons's elegant and elaborate specimens of versification. 'We subjoin the opening stanzas : Rise, Victor, from the festive board Flush'd with triumphal wine, And lifting high thy beaming sword, Fired liy the flattering Harper's chord, Who hymns thee half divine. Vow at the glutted shrine of Fate That dark •red brand to consecrate! Long, dread, and doubtful was the fray That gives the stars thy name to-day. But all is over; round thee now Fame shouts, spoil pours, and captives bow, No stormier joy can Earth impart, Than thrills in lightning through thy heart.

Statesman astute, the final hour Arrives of long-contested Power; Each crafty wile him; ends to aid, , Party and principle betray'd ; The subtly ki,peech, the plan profound, Putased for years, success has crown'd; To-night the Vote upon whose tongue, The nicely-poised Division hung, Was thine—beneath that placid brow What feelings throb exulting now! Thy rival falls;—on grandeur's base Go slake the nations in his place! tame, Love, Ambition! what are Ye, With all your wasting passions' war, To the great Strife that, like a sea O'erswept his soul tumultuously, Whose face gleams on me like a star— A star that kleams through murky clouds— As hoee begirt by struggling crowds A spell-bound Loiterer I stand, Before a print-shop in the Strand? What are your eager hopes and fears Whose minutes wither men like years— Your schemes defeated or fulfill'd, To the emotions dread that thrill'd His frame on that October night, When, watching by the lonely mast, He saw on shore the moving light, And felt, though darkness veil'd the sight, The long-sought World was his at last? BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY. Mr, Murray here continues his " Physiology of Londoa Life," which, though somewhat heavy and languid in manner, contains much instructive matter. Speaking of the levelling character of the metropolis, he remarks—" In country places, the lord of the manor, the greatest landowner, or the wealthiest man, overcrows all other distinctions—hels the great man of the place ; in London his greatness does not extend next door; he is great only in his own house, among his own dependents and servants; his trades men, even, have no conception of him, save as a good customer." This is justly observed. There is no plane like the metropolis to cure a man's self-conceit, and to induce him to assess his pretensions at a right valuation. Is he clever ? He will be constantly brought into contact with many much cleverer. Is he rich ? He will find hundreds—thousands—infinitely richer. Is he ardent—aspiring—persevering? No matter, his experience of London social life will soon convince him that these are but ordinary qualities, by which he can scarcely hope to make himself eminently conspicuous. A vast, crowded capital, like our " modern Babylon"—as it has been well called— where competition in every form is hourly going for ward, and talents of all sorts are as plentiful as mush rooms ; where the plebeian jostles the patrician in the streets, and even a great Cabinet Minister excites the curiosity of no one passer-by ;—an enormous capital like this, we say, is the Bost possible place in the world to imbue a man with a just and be coming estimate of himself, and lower his as piring vanity to the level of common sense. The " Fortunes of the Scattergood Family" improve in interest as they proceed, though they certainly have: not the freshness and vivacity of the author's former works of fiction. The " Whims of a Water drinker" are amusing enough in their way, but we could have spared some of the puns, which—as Dog berry would say—" are most tolerable, and not to be endured." The " Confessions of a Croupier" reveal, in no very hesitating manner, a few of the mysteries of the more fashionable gambling houses in the metro polis. The 'confessions, which wear all the appear ance of truth, cannot be read without interest, but it is an interest of a painful character, and exhibits human nature in a most humiliating light. In the poem on the " Manxman and his Visitor," a popular legend of the Isle of Man is turned to humorous account. The author, however, would have been more successful if he had paid a little more attention to point and brevity. " Whig and Tory" is a whimsi ' cal specimen of a newspaper calculated to suit all tastes, inasmuch as it professes no political opinions, but is exclusively made up of droll advertisements and quaint obituaries. " A Ramble through Styria," &c., deserves a passing word of notice, if only for the spirit and minuteness of its landscape descriptions. lor the subjoined sketch of the practices of a gamb ling-house we are indebted to the " Confessions of a Croupier," of which we have already spoken "Through the various aspects presented by the game, the alternations of hope and disappointment were often strongly felt, and as strongly expressed ; curses, both loud and deep, were mingled with the laugh of triumph. Among my many reminiscences of such scenes, I can never forget one unfortunate individual. He had been playing some hours; evidently under unusual excitement. His party had all gradually quitted the place, and het took the box alone: he had it all in his own hands, and in his own way.

And where are now his friends, his compeers of a season? Some have taken the benefit of the Insolvent Court ; some have passed through a fiercer ordeal; others, with minimized capitals, have become the frequenters of minor hells; all with deteriorated fortunes and reputation. " It may be thought, that a gentleman who has lost above a thousand pounds in a gaming -house may have the right of entree by prescription. Nothing' is more unlike the fact. From the height of his prosperity to its declension, every occultation in his course is noted with the nicest observation ; for instance, playing for lower stakes, a more febrile excitement when losing, occasionally borrowing of a friend, a cheque not punctually paid, and, finally, a small sum borrowed of the bank, to enable him to take up a bill under a very pressing: emergency—these are the little circumstances which lead to his ultimate exclusion. On some fine evening during the ensuing season he calls, thinking to be admitted as heretofore ; but he is stopped at the first door with the ready excuse, that there is nothing doing. On the next call, he is told that there is no play going on.' "so play ? So you said the last time I called ; and I have since understood front a friend that there was play. Let me in ; I want to see the manager." "lie is sot in, Sir," " Oh, very well, then, I shall take some other oppor tunity of seeing him." " When he does see the chef, the latter expresses most sincere regret at the occurrence, and makes a most specious promise to have the interdict removed. Thus assured, who now is to oppose his entrance ? Not the porter, surely Yes ; the very same person still insists (hat the great man is not within ; that he knows nothing about the explanation given, and therefore can not admit him. Thus repulsed, the applicant murmurs a threat about not paying, and thus ends the matter. What is here stated must be understood as applying to commoners ; for a peer, however poor, can always be , turned to some account." NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. In Mr. Cyrus Redding's entertaining recollections of the author or " Vathek," which lead off the Num ber before us, occurs the following characteristic anecdote of the late George the Third :—" He was not only capable of the grossest duplicity," said Mr. Beckford, " but he was destitute of feeling too. I went to the levee after Lord George Gordon's riot, the military had just fired on the mob, a necessary step to put a stop to lawless plunder and violence. I entered as the King had come out of his closet, the officer who commanded the troops being immediately before me. As soon as the King saw him, he said You peppered them well, I hope —peppered them well—peppered them well!' in his loud way. Every body stared. The levity of the remark struck the officer. Firing even upon lawless mobs was then considered to be justified only by self-evident neces sity. hope your Majesty's troops will always do their duty,' was the answer drily returned, with a significant gravity which feelings less obtuse than the King's must have felt to be a tacit reproof, as many were killed." The Monarch who thus exulted in the carnage of his own subjects, is the same who for so many years was called the "good old King," and whom hundreds of old Tory twaddlers and veteran placemen still maintain to have been a pattern for all sovertigns! But History, which sifts the true from the false, and whose first sacred duty is an impartial and discriminating estimate of character, has of late shown the world the utter heartlessness, selfishness, brute obstinacy, and incurable bigotry of this long overrated Monarch. He is now seen exactly in his true colours, stripped of the false halo that for years surrounded him ; and a more unamiable portrait was never yet exhibited for public reprobation. Nor was his son—the vaunted and showy George the Fourth —much better. He, too, was incurably selfish, and never on any one occasion allowed the interests of his subjects to interfere with his own personal ma c s._ tion. "Lights and Shades" contain she of sverish sketches of indigenous Irish charact er . A;abellq," is a delightful portrait of likeit gentle. affectionate ' woman, who, ,„ "Amelia," sacrifices health, hoe, and han ;iness unhesitatingly to the man she loves,but 7:no is every way unworthy of such a disinte r .:Aed, high-minded creature. " Finishing with Dinner" is a narrative of the ludicrous mishaps that befel a country surgeon, Mr. Raymond Fowler, in the course of a. professional visit which he paid to the metropolis. In the first place he got drunk, which is bad—secondly, he got robbed, which is worse —and thirdly, he got his head broken, and was com pelled to take to an ugly scratch wig, which is worst of all. And all these afflictions originated in his visit ing Vauxhall one disastrous evening, and becoming too passionately enamoured of its once-celebrated Arrack-punch! " How to make a Long Day" is one of those sprightly, off-hand, intelligent essays, founded on a close observation of real life, which have so often enriched the pages of this Magazine. The " Winds" is a graceful lyric from the pen of Mr. Josiah Minty. We quote it accordingly for our readers' gratification : " What voice is in the winds ! There is a feeling in their lightest tone, The soft gales sigh the storm-blast's hollow moan, Each to the soul in language of its own Speaks and an echo finds. " How light upon the ear Breathes the soft murmur of the evening gale, Wringing from memory full many a tale Of home, and youth, and love, ah! visions frail, As they were passing dear. " The whirlwind in its might, That vanquisher of earth, the hoarse, the loud Scourger of ocean, ruler of the cloud, What is the whirlwind?—what but passion's crowd Of feelings as they smite. " How o'er the ravaged earth Are strewn the fragments of her summer prime, Like blighted joys that lie in after time Upon the aching . heart, whose only crime Was to give passion birth. " The night wind sweeps along, With fitful cadence sighing on its way, As if the spirits of the bright, the gay, The loved, the lost, were in its mournful play, A melancholy throng. " How soft its gentle kiss— And can it be that spirits from above, Thus on the pinions of the night-wind rove, Fanning the leveed cheeks of those they love, And whispering of bliss ? " But now the morning breeze Steals o'er the earth with fragrance on its wings, Filling the soul with bright imaginings ; The tiow'ret opes its bud, the wild bird sings— There's music in the trees. " What says the breeze of morn ? That gentle hope within the human breast, May thus breathe sweetly, calming it to rest, Thus sing of happiness and regions blest, To comfort the forlorn. " Then have not winds a voice ? Is there not language in each magic sound ? Are they not eloquent as on they hound O'er earth and sea ? When are they silent found ? When cease they to rejoice ? "Among the snows untrod, Along the vale and o'er the grassy hill, Through trees, 'mid flow'rets boisterous or still, By night, by day, the universe they fill : Their's is the voice o f God." AINS WORTH'S MAGAZINE. In the present chapters of the editor's romance of " St. James's," we find the plot progressing at a very rapid rate. Abigail Hill is married to Masham, the Queen's equerry, and the next incident of moment, we suppose, will be the overthrow of the influence of the imperious Duchess of Marlborough, and her dis tinguished partner, the great Whig Duke. There are one or two humorous scenes introduced in the course of the chapters before us, but they are not very successful ; Mr. Ainsworth should avoid humour, for he has not a particle of it in his composition. His forte is description, and ingenious, skilfully-executed melodramatic incident. The "New Generation" is a panegyrical review of Mr. D'lsraeli's new tale of " Coniugsby"—iitcomparably the ablest production of the season. "Night Noises and Phantoms" is the production of Mr. Charles 011ier, and the object of the essay—a highly laudable one—is to endeavour to account for many of those mysterious nocturnal sounds which so often terrify unreflecting people, and rouse all the dormant superstitious feeling within them. "A Jar of Honey from Mount Hybla" con sists of a series of critical observations on Greek pas• toral poetry, to which no essayist of the d a y i s better qualified to do justice than Mr, Leigh Hunt. He quotes, we perceive, with deserved approbation, a beautiful passage from Moachus's elegy on th e d eath translates with elegance an d scrupulous of Bion, with which we have long been f am ili ar, and which he ac3uracy.

"A murmur of applause followed this dramatic scrap, when Kean, having quickly passed from a f,Tret into a tiger, was only withheld by the grir.e of I Inghes froal springing on the carotty tobacconist.

I carry it for his sake: " 1)o you, by the gods!' exclaimed Kean, and darting from his corner, he grasped the sight token from the table, and hurled it through the window glass into the street. " Consternation seized the tobacconist, as though Cubi itself had been suddenly swallowed by the sea; but up rose his tail, like a water-spout, threatening annihilation to the undaunted little actor, who stood with his arms folded, like a stone terminus on a parapet. lam Edmund Kean!' exclaimed he, grinding his teeth. Slanderer! for the first time behold him! lam the Kean!' " The whole West Indies seemed now In a state of in surrection. The company rushed in a body towards the sturdy tragedian, and verily believing him to be an im postor, notwithstanding the humiliation of the wholesale dealer, assailed him with violence, and finally expelled him the house. Little Hughes came in for his share of the bounty, and with a shoe less than he entered' the apartment, accompanied his friend, to finish the evening, and consult future proceedings, at No. 21, Cecil street?' HOOD'S MAGAZINE, We are sorry to learn from a notice affixed to this number, that the editor, Mr. Hood, has lately had a severe attack of hemorrhage from the lungs, " brought on by the wearing excitement of ceaseless and exces sive literary toil.' The writer of the notice, how ever, adds that "he is now gradually recovering strength, and there is every reason to expect that he will be able, in the next number, to give the promised new chapter and illustrations of his novel, which are at present of necessity deferred." The author of the admirable " Song of a Shirt"—a poem that has touched the hearts of thousands—is a man whom the literary world can ill afford to lose, and we do most sincerely hope that he will be shortly restored to health, and delight and instruct his readers for many a year to come, with his sprightly fancies and subtle sketches of character, few of which but exhibit the germs of shrewd, and sometimes even deep thought. The " Laboratory" is a quaint poem by Robert Browning. There are some impressive ideas scat tered carelessly through it, but the subject -matter is not rendered sufficiently obvious to the generality of' readers—a fault of frequent occurrence in this gen tleman's writings, who conceive, with far more force, skill, and distinctness, than he executes. "An Inci dent at Pisa" we should. have guessed to have been the composition of Mr. Monckton Milnes, even with out his --,ss" 1111 /nre, for it betrays all that peculiar man he owes to a careful study of the works d vt .t r ords , ,vorth. The "Nice Young Man" is a slight, sketchy story, whose redeeming features are its liveliness and good nature. " Recollections of Gideon Shaddoe" is a passable collection of ghost stones, which should, however, have bean kept for the long winter evenings, when the co'.d, and glom, and blighting fogs of the season tend greatly to assist the effect of such wild, mysterious narratives. We quote one of the best of them : " A venerable manor-house in the west of England, with its terraced walks, noble hollies, and quaint yew hedges, had sunk into the usual condition of such ancienu places, and had become a farm-house of the better class. The former possessors had been of elevated rank, and the last of their descendants, a widow lady of title, had retired there, still retaining the remains of loveliness, with a handsome nephew in the prime of manly beauty,. about the middle of last century. They lived in -strict privacy, were never seen out of the grounds, and never received any visitors, with one exception. At the ex piration of every three months an old. fashioned coach rolled up the avenue shaietl by the sun-proof elms, stopped at the entrance, and out stepped a man of advanced age, dressed in a dark brown suit, with a plain cocked hat and grey stockings. In about ten minutes he again made his appearance, entered the carriage, which rolled down the avenue, and was seen no more till the next quarter of a year had passed away. This had gone on for seine time, and afforded subject for comment to all the 'country round. The neighbours shook their heads, and whis pered light tales of the dame ; but all attempts to pene trate the cloud that shrouded their history failed. " One fine August evening, six weeks at least before its appearance was due, according to its usual periods of arrival, the light of the harvest moon shone on the well known coach till it was lost to view under the melancholy boughs of the avenue trees. Some reapers, on their way home, saw it return, and, as it passed out of the avenue gates, beheld, sitting by the side of the old gentleman, the handsome nephew, pale and motionless as a corpse. The same night a carriage and four drove furiously up to the house, and, at the end of the week, a hearse and six received at midnight a coffin covered with black velvet, and went—none of the neighbours knew where. The place was shut up for years, and had only beetrs lately fitted up for the reception of a new tenant—a sub stantial man who had bought the land about the house and farmed it himself—at the commencement of the pre sent century. "In its desolate state, it was haunted of course ; and. ' the wicked lady,' as she was called, had often been seers gliding in the moonlight about the terraces by those wino had been hardy enough to take a short cut across the grounds in their way home from the village club. "The two sons of the new tenant were young men just at the end of their teens. They had heard all the ghost stories connected with the place, and laughed at them. They had also heard strange noises, especially from one particular chamber, in which the lady had died, and the door of which had not been unlocked for years, and had satisfied themselves that they had traced some of the sounds to a colony of jackdaw's that had es tablished themselves in the unused chimneys with which the spacious old house—a world too wide for the present occupants—abounded. " These two brothers lay upon a grassy heatisand enjoying the noon of a lovely day outside one of the garden walls. They were shaded from the Plan by the overhanging laburnums and guelder-roses, which, tired of their confinement within, had, truant-like, broken bounds to mingle their blossoMs with the wild flowers on the field-side of the half-ruined wall. The young men listened to the humming in the air, and lazily watched the tremulous haze that rose from the ridge's of the fallow which lay parallel to them. " Lying thus, with half-shut eyes, they saw upon the ridges before them th e figure of a e.ziy dressed in the costume of the middle of the eighteenth century. They both started up together, and advanced rapidly to the form, which receded Nvithout appearing to move a limb across the furrows, with its face still towards them as they had first seen it, till it reached the closed gate, through the bars of which it seemed to pass as the brothers arrived at the barrier—and then was lost to their view. Beyond was a bare common, where no per son could have been hid; and the only beings in sight besides themselves were a party of gnats dancing in the sun, and the swallows that ever and anon cut a lanes_ through them, leaving the survivors to continue their dance." • 7AIT'S MAGALL In his digest of the politics of the month, Tait re marks, in reference to the late astounding Ministerial majority on the Ten Hours' Bill—" the question remains for the present a unsettled hdaoelnsl tortawhennandgne hollowness hs e e v an e ne a r a insincerity i nv n icc g etri n iot o ny i other nafth immediate ppublicu bl ime en. mind resultToh of the than thsue suspi cious conversions and the shameless reconversions that have taken place on the Fa w ct h or? , Question, b.

" Bon Gaultier and his. Friend" is a familiar conversational article, modelled on the " Noctes" of Bla c k woo d, b u t possessing a very moderate share of the vigour, eloquenCe, and humour that charactised those admirable dialogues. There is, however, some quaint, sprightly poetry scattered through the paper ; and the remarks of "Young Scotland," one of the speakers, are occasionally pointed and happy in their sarcasm.
