ANOTHER MOTION IN THE , QUEEN v. O'CON7NELL. At five o'clock thi s even i ng , w h en th e C our t o f Queen's Bench was about to adjourn, Mr. WiniEsini, said he had a short motion to make in the e.llse of the Queenv. O'Connell and others—it was, that the court would direct an inspection of the record. C 1 I 1 E1•• Jtr: TILE-Did you give notice of it to the Crown. i‘ 4 • WllrrEsinE—Yesony Lord. When we found that we • notice not obtain an. inspection of the indictment, we served r ci l e_llce upon the Crown solicitor that we would apply to the ' Oll ll for an order to enable us to do so. We ground our application upon an affidavit which states that the prisoners, ate , advised, and believe that it is absolutely necessary, in 9 41 Fr to speed the writ of error, to be allowed to insect the. Indictment, and ascertain the names of the witnesses that • are endorsed upon it, not for the purpose of publishing them, or or any use of them, except in the bona fide prosecu thof our w r it o f error W e fi rs t app li e d t o M r .

CHIEF JusTicE—This is no hour to come before the Court Rlth a heavy motion-of this kind. It AIL WureasinE--It. is not a heavy motion. I look upon • as an application that ought to be granted as a matter of c ourse. • Pr- Justice PERRIN—IS this application opposed? of BREWSTFR said the Crown had received no intimation . the 'matter till that•rnorning. He would not assent to it. "hold further consideration with his Learned Friends. 114. MONAGHAN said he was with *Mr. Whiteside, and th°ald stat e why it was that the names of the witnesses on e back o f the indictment were required : their Lordships Quid remember that there was a plea in abatement on the ati-Lclnd that these witnesses had been sworn pursuant to the ii l 4n,..re, and although that had been overruled by the Court, ~,rlouse of Lerds might be' of a different opinion ; and if t here would be' no evidence on that point, of error on the therd ; and• in order to set out all the facts upon the writ, names of all the witnesses sworn or affirmed should ne „,.—ssarily be given. He was not going to enter into the merita that part of the case, but merely to ask, what he submitted • wa his right to ge t. , il WitrrEsinE—l understand that it is a matter of right. JattiCe PERRIN—I am surprised at any opposition to the application. C HIEF JUSTICE---I am surprised that such an application S hould be-made. 2.1 r.

THE WRIT OF ERROR. 0 1 1 e Attorney-General having given his fiat, writs of error 14rse this day taken out for Mr. O'Connell and the other state It appears that a pro forma application will be co n 'ade to the Court of Queen's Bench on the writs of error, nobis. touching the already decided validity of the plea _abatement, which, as a matter of course, will be refused, a nd then tlie Lords may be appealed to.

The Emperor of Russia reached Woolwich late on Saturday night in a Government steamer, and immecli aKely proceeded to town. He arrived in London about half-past 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 degree of intelligence, combined with a benevolent and affable expression. The object of his Majesty's visit to England, apart from -the natural desire to pay his respects to the Queen, is stated 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 which 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 lie was ten years . older. The Emperor of Russia, we understand, proceeded to Buckingham PalaCe at an early hoar on Sunday, to p 3 '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. WOOLWICH, SATURDAY, MIDNIGHT.—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 Russian Minister at the Court of London, went down to Woolwich at an early hour on Saturday, for thel purpose of being in readiness to receive his Majesty at any time. Baron Brunnow was accompanied by the Muslim 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 an 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 Brunnow and the Chevalier Benkhausen 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 bad 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. His 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 lulu as a truly royal personage. On arriving at Sir Fran c i s 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 the attention which had been shown towards him, at half-past ten entered Baron Brunnow's carriage in company with General Count Orloff, and Grove rapidly off towards town. The following is a list of the suite accompanying the Emperor to England :—Gene ral Count Orlott; Con sellier d'Etat and Adjutant to his Imperial Majesty; General Adlerberg, Prince Radalwill, Prince Was selchikoft, 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 ii4VOIT Pra!VITO' residence in Dover-street, at 11,quarter past eleven o'clock precisely, on Saturday evening, His Imperial Weaty travelled in the Ambassador's car riage, drawn by four post-horses, and upon leaving Woolwich took the lower road, through Greenwich and New Cross, by Camberwell and Kennington, to the West-end of London. Upon arriving at the ginhasen the Emperor was received in the entrance-hall by the Baroness 13runnow and by the Ambassador's gparetaries, M. C. de Koudriaffsky and M. de Berg. His Majesty shook. hands cordially with the Veronese, and was subsequently conducted- to the suite of apa r tments prepared for Lila reception, At a later period the peror partook of coffee with the Baron Etunnow, who a r. rived in town from Woolwich, with Chevalier lgaillilaguseP end the other members of 11,1,tti ., e4ty stlite, aharely after elevenP'Plock, _ _ _ . . • The Emperor retired to rest before midnight, The Etllperor's attendants and several members of his suite were accommodated in the various hotels in the neighb(urhood. VISIT OF HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY TO THE QUEEN AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE. Yesterday morning the Emperor rose shortly after eight o'clock, and breakfasted in his private apartment with a limited number of his suite before 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 half-past nine o'clock his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by Major-General Bowater and the Hon. Captain Murray, arrived at the embassy from Buck ingham Palace, in one of the Royal carriages, on a visit to the Emperor. His Imperial Majesty was in the act of descending to re ceive his Royal Highness when both illustrious individuals met on the grand staircase. Their meeting was of the most affectionate and cordial character. The Emperor threw his arms round the neck of the Prince Consort, and embraced him fervently, Prince Albert returning his salute with great apparent feeling. The Emperor then led his Royal guest into the drawing room of the mansion, where they remained engaged in con versation for a considerable period. The Emperor inquired affectionately after the Queen, and expressed an earnest hope that his sudden arrival in England would not be allowed to inconvenience 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 was understood to intimate that no inconvenience could 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 once remove thither with the whole of his suite. At ten o'clock the Prince Consort took his departure, promising to return at half-past one o'clock for the purpose of conveying the Em peror to Buckingham Palace on a visit to her Majesty. Shortly beibre eleven o'clock, the Emperor, accompanied by General Count Orloff, Baron Brunnow, and other members of his suite, left Ashburnham House, to attend Divine service at the chapel of the Russian Embassy, in Welbeck-street. The chapel was not unusually crowded, probably owing to the visit of the Emperor being altogether unexpected. The service was performed by the Rev. Mr. Popoff. At its conclusion the illustrious party returned to the Em bassy, arriving there at a few minutes after one o'clock. The Earl of Hardwicke, one of the Lords in Waiting to her Majesty, Lieut.-Colonel Berkeley Drummond, Groom in Waiting, and Lieut.-Colonel Wylde, Equerry to Prince Al bert, arrived at Ashburnham House about half-past twelve o'clock, and upon the return of the Emperor from chapel were introduced to his Imperial Majesty. The Noble Earl informed the Emperor that he had received for himself and the two above-named officers her Majesty's commands to be in attendance upon the Emperor during his stay in this country. The Emperor was pleased to express his thanks for the attention shown to him, 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 Robert Peel. The carriage containing the Prince and Sir Robert Peel drove into the court yard of the mansion, when his Royal Highness alighted, and, with Sir Robert Peel, entered the hall. Here 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. Sir Robert Peel rode in the second carriage, with General Count Orloff and General Adlerberg, several members of the Emperor's suite following in other carriage-4 There were very few persons assembled in Dover-street at this period to witness the departure of the Royal cortege, and no manifestation of loyalty took place beyond a respectful uncovering of heads, as the illustrious individuals passed out at the gates. On arriving at Buckingham Palace the Emperor was pre- sented to her Majesty by Prince Albert. His Imperial Ma.• jesty subsequently partook of a splendid drjeuner to which the Queen invited him, and afterwards paid a visit to the King of Saxony, in his'apartments at the Palace. At half-past two the Royal carriages were again ordered to the gates for the - purpose of conveying the Emperor on a round of visit's to the various members of the Royal family, and at twenty-tive minutes to three his Imperial ß peri oy al Majesty entered the first carriage, accompanied- by nes s Prii:ce Albert. In the second carriage rode General Count Orloff and Baron. Brunnow, and four other carriages were filled by the Ern - peror s suite. . A great many persons had. by this time assembled in the park, and as the Royal oartege made its egress from the marble arch in front of the palace, although the illustrious party were not greeted with vociferous cheering, there was a general and respectful obeisance performed bly the male por tion of the spectators, while the softer sex exhibited their loyal feelings by waving of handkerehlefi, &e., all which manifestations were graciously acknowledged by the .11 , m_p_eror: , The NRyal party brat proceeded to Marlboroughliouse to pay a visit to the Queen Dowager, and thence went to Cambridge 'House, to honour the •Duke and . Duchess of Cambridge with a call. The next visit made Was to her 4QYA,,11 -1 . ,14.1p1e54 the pHiless of Glencester, itl:prk-.148% and pop thence the carriages Proceeded ifiraugh yde-park to I(oifsingtoil, where the F,niperor visited her Royal High ness the Princess Sophia. Ranrning along the Park-road• the Royal cortege met tTie Icing of Saxony, who was proceed-. lug to the Princess's residence in one of the Royal carriages, atien4e4 J his.soite in several others. The two lilonarchs recognised and hoWed. to Racy other 4p the .RlTiKes passed, and at this period the ,effect . , of, the . dai4tingitoyal liveries and - splendid pqtupagee was most striking. • THE SITN;yIAONVOVI - MODNAY EVENING,- SUNE 3, 1P44. The Emperor then. proceeded to Ap s l e y House to lionourl his Grace the Duke of Wellington with'a visit. 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 Gersdorff and M. Minkowitz, called at the Embassy. The King would not allow the Emperor to be disturbed, and 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 Knesebeck, ard having conversed for some tima with Baron Brunnow, also left without seeing the Emperor. This was the second time his Royal Highness had called on the Emperor yesterday, without being fortu • nate enough to meet his Majesty, the Duke haying 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 n i g ht. 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 capacftFes.. 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 in 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.

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 ensuiug 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.

It has been intimated that the Court will not prolong its stay at the Castle beyond Friday, when it will take its de parture for, Buckingham Palace. THE RIVAL STEAMERS.— On Saturday last Capt. Pentreath, who had just set the watches for the night, and was about to go below on board the Brilliant steamer, which vessel was lying along the jetty, at Scilly, heard a continuous splashing and cries of distress proceeding from near the jetty stairs. He leaped from the bulwarks of his vessel into his boat, and was as quickly followed by one of his men. They pulled to wards the spot, and to their astonishment saw a boat capsized, and several persons struggling in the water. After great exertion, they hauled the drowning persons into the boat, and found them to be Captain Vivian, and some of the crew of the Cornwall, in a very exhausted and helpless state. Captain Pentreath afforded them every assistance in his power, and ordered his boat's crew to put them on board the Cornwall, which vessel was at anchor off the jetty.— West Briton, THE RUNNING REIN CASE.—We hear that the "Running Rein" party have retained Sir Thomas Wilde and Mr. Edwin James as counsel; and we have been in formed that the latter Learned Gentleman, who has had all the facts of the affair, as well as the evidence upon which his client's cause is rested laid before him, has given, a very decided opinion on the transaction. At present it is not known whether the case will come on for trial at the sittings after this term in London, or whether it will be sent for trial at. Guildford in the ensuing summer assizes. It will, however, without doubt, be disposed of during the mouth of July. — Observer. LORD Joint RUSSELL.—In Mr. B. D'lsraeli's work, "Coningsby ; or, the New Generation," there is the fol lowing character of the leader of the Whigs :—" Lord John Russell has that degree of imagination which, though evinced rather in sentiment than expression, still enables him to generalise from the details of his reading and experience ; and to take those comprehensive views, which, however easily deprecated by ordinary men in an age of routine, are indispensable to a statesman in the conjunctures in which we live. He understands therefore his posi tion ; and he has the morol 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 not a natural orator, and labours under physical deficiencies which even a Demosthenic impulse could scarcely over come. But he is experienced i>t debate; quick in reply, fertile in resource; takes large views; and frequently compensates for a dry and 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 raak, which never can be severed from the man, the scion of a great historic family, and born, as it were to the hereditary service of the State, it is difficult to as certain at what period, or under what circumstances, the Whig party have ever possessed, or could obtain, a more effidient leader.", "A BUSTLE."--AWFUL CATASTROPH E Wed nesday last, a young lady, who was walking on New street, nearly opposite the post-office, in consequence of some negligence at the toilet, her " bustle" got loose, and dropped upon the causeway behind her; feeling the descent, she turned round; but as soon as she discovered this "improver" of female beauty, she seemed dread-. fUlly perplexed, and hastened from it, her face crim soned with bluShes.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING. ---Th e death of the Earl of Harrowby, Lord Sandon's father, which was IG often rumoured on former occasions, was again revived to-day, 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, IL Ove'Cbcienenleill found Esq., M gu .r l . yt , and the of Leasowe Castle, Cheshire, on that of the mono p o li s t s .

BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZDE. • Captain Jesse's Memoirs of the celebrated—or rather notorious—Beau Brummell—the ultimus Ro manorum, that is to say, the last of the Beaus, who 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 th e u t mos t 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 man with whom he dined. T 9 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 b e li eve h e cou ld 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 was 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 intrZduced 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 by 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. Gay Lover, with the soft guitar, Hie to the olive-woods afar, And to thy friend, the listening brook, Alone reveal that raptured look; The maid so long in secret loved-- A parent's angry will removed— This - morning saw betrothed thine, That Sire the pledge, consenting, blest, Life bright as motes in. golden wine, Is dancing it illy breast. S tatesmor. astute, the final hour Ari: ; ves of long-contested Power; Each crafty wile thine ends to aid, Party and principle betray'd; The subtle speech, the plan profound, Pursued for years, success has crown'd; To-night the Vote upon whose tongue, The nieely•puised Division hung, Was thine—beneath that placid brow What feelings throb exulting now! Thy rival fills;—on grandeur's base Go shake the nations in his place! Fame, 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 gleams through murky clouds— As here 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 Ilis 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 London 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—he is 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 j us tly observed. There is no place 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 ? lie 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—" ar e mos t tolerable, and nut 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. For 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 dcep, were mingled - with the laugh of triumph. Among any 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 he took tho box alone; he had it all in his own hands, and in his own way. Not a main could he throw ; every time I called the unfortunate result I was the object of his bitterest invective and malediction; but, although I felt annoyed at this conduct, I heartily pitied him. All his efforts were useless; the capricious goddess was in exorable, and be•threw out with his last heavy stake, and burst into an agony of tears. He was a tall, good. young man, and 1 may tr u l y say looking, prepossessing. that I never witnessed - an occurrencemore painful and humiliating. That which but a moment before • had been his own, and stably beforelicn, was gone--as ir retrievably lost to'him as though it had sunk to the bot tom of the fathomless ocean! To add to the poignancy of his distress, the following morning was settling-day for.the Derby, and he was minus some hundreds. With the scalding tears upon his cheeks; he begged and im glored for the loan'of one hundred pounds, in orch:r to be able to Mike . at lenSt - silni6`Shoiv . Of "honour. It was refused him. Whether the request was ultimately com - plied with in whole or in part is not known to me; but not long afterwards he became insane! And where are now his s 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 p ou nds i n a eaming-heuSe 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 excitcmont 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 nathingdoing. On the next call, he 'is told that ' there is no play going on.' "No play ? So you said the last time I called ; and I have since unders•ood frOm a friend that there. was play. Let me in ; I want to see the manager." " lie is s o t i n , Si r, " " 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 that 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 of " 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 sovereigns! 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. Ile, too, was incurably selfish, and never on any one occasion allowed the interests of his subjects to interfere with his own personal gratifica tion. "Lights and Shades" contain some cleverish sketches of indigenous Irish character. " Arabella" is a delightful portrait of a gentle, kindly, affectionate woman, who, like Fielding's "A me li a, " sacrifices health, hope, and happiness unhesitatingly to the man she loves, but who is every way unworthy of such a disinterested, high-minded creature. " Finishing with a 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 ec h o finds. " How light upon the ear Breathes the soft murmur or the evening gale, Wringing from memory full many a tale Of home, and youth, and love, all! 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 rote, Fanning the fever'd cheeks o f 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 flow'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 bound 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 of God." AINSWORTH'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 " Coningsby"—incomparably the ablest production of the season. " Night Noises and Phantoms" is the production of Mr. Charles Oilier, 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 Ilybla" con sists of a series of critical observations on Greek pas toral poetry, to which no essayist of the day is better qualified to do justice than Mr. Leigh Hunt. He quotes, we perceive, with deserved approbation, t beautiful passage from Moschus's elegy on the death of Bion, with which we have long be en f am ili ar, and which he translates with ele gance and sc rupu l ou S accuracy. "John Manesty, the Liverpool Merchant," is unusually interesting this month, and evinces none of that langour and heaviness which characterised some of the earlier chapters. Our readers will, no doubt thank us for the following extract respecting Kean, which we give from the " Elliston Papers" " On a certain evening, shortly after his memorable debut at Drury-lane, Kean, accompanied by his old and faithful ally, Jack Hughes, dropped in, or rather dropped up (by way of catachresis) at Offley's premier etage, thecider-room, in Henrietta -street, Covent.garden. Ensconced in a snug corner of the apartment, the tA 0 friends were enjoying their and as the conversa tion of the room was a right of common, they felt them selves no trespassers in nipping the pasturage also. As it generally happens, in places of this kind, there is one certain personage who usurps the lead on all topics— one who would teach Hannibal the art of war ; so was the case at this period, at Offley's. This individual was a Mr. Watson, or Wason, a red-headed wholesale tobac conist, and a charlatan warranted town made.' But Watson was a man who might have called Junius Brutus himself a pretender, for Watson was really a fool. At the court of OffleY, however, lie had obtained the Cordon bleu, and had a considerable tail, though there was not a wag in it. " Watson, who knew the movements of the town far better than the Morning Post, had already enlightened his auditory on the intrigues of Lady Douglas, in the case of the Princess, when lie led the conversalion , not unnaturally, to the subject of the new actor at Dr ury ' lane. ‘• it is true enough," said he, stirring up the flaming forest which brew upon hi s pole,- Dr. Drury bro ug ht him to town. lie talked with me on the subject—in fact, we went together into Dorietshire to see him act. I shall never forget Bean's gratitude when we proposed his appearance at Drury-lane.' " Here Kean thrust himself forward like a ft-rret, gazing at the speaker in perfect wonderment ; and tlw blood-red knight' proceeded — "'I saw him to-day in Cecil -street—h e is in the very ecstacy of triumph --and well he may. A nice child his son ; but I am afraid my friend has something yet t) learn.' " ' How 2--4 hat is that?' demanded the whole tail at once. " ' Why, he thrashes his ad'e,' replied the oracle, with the aspect of a red Indian; and he who raises his haml On a woman, except in an act of kindness, it were, base flattery to call a coward.' "A murmur of applause followed this dramatic scrap, when Kean, having quickly passed from ft ferret into a tiger, was only withheld by the grire of I lughes •fro:n springing -on the carotty tobacconist. The dealer in Virginia still went on:--' Tins was his,' said he, care lessly, as he pulled from his pock( t a little chased snuff box,—‘ this was Kean'a—a slight token of his obligation to me, as he was pleased to say. I carry it for his sake.' " Do 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 Cuba itself had been suddenly swallowed by the sea; but up rose his tail, like a waterspout, 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! fur 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 htn's, " brought on by the wearing excit e m en t o f 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 nr.mber, to give the promised new chapter and illustt.ations 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 thogtands—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 whi c h b u t ex hibi t the germs of shr ew d, 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-matterls not rendered sufficiently obvious to the generality of readers—a fault of frequent occurrence in this gen tleman's writings, who conceives 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. Morickton Milnes, even with out his signature, for it betrays all that peculiar man nerism which he owes to a careful study of the works of Wordsworth. 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 stories, which shoild, however, have been kept for the long water evenings, when the cold, and gliota, 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 ancient 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 stsict privacy, were never seen out of the grounds, and never received any visitors, with one exception. Al the ex piration of every three months an old. fashioned coach rolled up the avenue shaded 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 rtled down the avenue, and was seen no more till the next quarter of a year had passed away. This had gone on for some 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 week s a t least berore its appearance was due, acco r ding to its usual perioas of arrival, the light of the harvest moon shone on the well known coach till it was lost to view under the rn,tancholy boughs of the avenue trees. Some reapers, an their way borne, saw it return, and, as it passed out of the avenue gates, beheld, sitting by the side of the old gentlemaffl, 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 been 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 seen gliding in the moonlight about the terraces by those who 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 jackdaws 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 headland enjoying the noon of a lovely day outside one of the garden walls. They were shaded from the sun 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 ridges of the fallow which lay parallel to them. " Lying thus, with half-shut eyes, they saw upon the ridges before them the figure of a lady dressed in the costume of the middle of the eighteenth century. They both started up together, and advanced rapidly to the form, which recedd without 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 lane. through them, leaving the survivors to continue their dance." 7 AIT'S MAGAZINE. 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 more unsettled than ever ; having no other immediate result than a strengthened conviction in the public mind of the hollowness and insincerity of public men. The sudden and suspi cious conversions and the shameless reconversions that have taken place on the Factory Question, will not be easily forgotten. The whole business is as discreditable to the character, and as damaging to. the authority, of Parliament, as anything we have seen of late years." This opinion, we believe, is held pretty generally by the thinking, dispassionate por tion of the community; and the startling circum stances attending the majority in question—the mo tives which induced it, and the free and easy manner in which it was brought about, will certainly not be forgotten at the next election. " Bon Gaultier and his Friend" is a familiar conversational article, modelled ont the " Noctes" of Blackwood, but 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. Mrs. Gore's « Wheel of Fortune" is abruptly brought to a close this month. The tale is by no means one of her most felicitous efforts • but even Hotiter , sometimes nods, why no t then the authoress of seine twenty or thirty of the cleverest novels of the (43 ., P " Life of Beau Brum mell " is an intelligent notice of Captain Jesse's re cently published memoirs of this autocrat of fashion, whose will, for nearly twenty years, was the law of the West-end, and to whose undisputed supremacy even that " finest gentleman in Europe," the Prince Regent, succumbed. From an article entitled " Andrew's," we quote an amusing sketch of that out of-the-way and unsophisticated city : , 4 When we last visited St. Andrews, some twelro years ago, it was a peculiarity of that distinguish e d city, that it had no stage-coach eommunieation with the rest of the world. We have heard a rumour that this is now amended ; nay, were somewhat startled the other day,. by beholding the venerable name of the Arehiepiscopate, printed in ,flaring red letters, associ a t e d w i t h some -vul gar announcemen t about four inside, and fares modeitete. This occurred last summer: We know not whether the enterprising company' have h 4 ceuroge to keep up 1
