We looked witjlisome interest to the subject, in hopes of discsiveYing what the honest Ger mans thought of the di - s - ruption, but. were sadly dis appointed, for these " Opinions" are all monopolised by one Deutscher, called Herr Sydow, a chaplain of his Majesty the King of Prussia. It appears he went to Edinburgh to study the non-intrusion question, and came away convinced that the Free Church was in the right. But " one swallow don't make a sum mer." The political article is on the opening of Parliament, and the state of parties, which concludes thus:— "We trust, meanwhile, that the representatives of Great Britain will not give another weapon to the repeal armoury, by allowing the session to go much further without a vigorous parliamentary protest against the iniquities of the monster trial. The very discreditable abdication of duty, on the part of the Irish absentee Members, does not alter the case in the least. The ques tion is not Irish, but imperial. It was not Irish, but British imperial law, that was twisted for Mr. O'Con nell's conviction ; and the attempt to make trial by jury ` a mockery, a d e l us i on , an d a snare, ' an d to smugg l e into our jurisprudence the:atrocious doctrines of construc tive complicity and inferential conspiracy, was a blow, aimed not at Irish but at British liberties. In the very lowest view of the case, there has been an enormous and disgraceful blunder in the management of the public business : the Executive has put out the utmost of its strength and skill, for weeks and months together, in the conduct of a State prosecution of first-class import ance, and has ignominiously broken down at last. If this is Not a subject for Parliamentary inquiry, what is ? It will be really shameful, should our supineness or dis satisfaction with the proceedings of the persons imme diately interested, allow such a complication of injustice and bungling to pass uncensured. The absence of the Members for Cork and Limerick has no more to do with the matter, supposing the Union a reality, than would the absence of the Members for Caithness and Banff. To make a Parliamentary discussion of this business contin gent on the presence or absence of Irish Members, would be a virtual adoption of the repeal theory, at the expense, too, of the common popular franchises of the empire, to which we should be heartily sorry to see English and Scottish Liberals commit themselves." FRASER'S MAGAZINE. This is the best number that Fraser has published for many months. The subjects are well selected and treated with more than usual skill and taste. The leading articles will suit almost every reader. We have " Rambling Remarks on Horace, for the classical scholar ; " The Lives of Rubens and Rem brandt" for the painter; " Bunyan and Bunhill-fields," for the Quakers and Methodists ; " My Log," for the sailor; " A Walk from London to Fulham," for the antiquary ; " The Great Ward Business," for the Anti-Puseyites ; and " The Policy of Ministers," adapted to every class and denomination throughout the vast empire called the United Kingdom, and its dependencies. But to begin with the beginning. Horace, some nineteen hundred years ago, announced, with more than Roman vanity, that he had erected a monument more lasting than the royal Pyramids of Egypt ; that rain, and hail, and tempests would bat ter against it in vain; that his songs would be re cited on the banks of the Ebro and the Rhone, and his verses be scanned on the shores of the Bosphorus, in the wilds of Numidia, and on the Scythian pl a i ns . W e are on l y surpr ised that he did not carry his prophetic eye farther, penetrate into the New World, pa:ya compliment to the repudiat ing Pennsylvanians, and the men governed by Lynch law, on the banks of the Ohio and the Mississippi, for there his poetry is known, and perhaps more admired, too, than in the valleys of his native Anio and the plains of the yellow Tiber. It has reached even the Ultima Thule ; the Doric Muse of the North has paraphrased his celebrated Ode to Mount Soracte, and a Scotch barber has thus turned into verse his cheering prescription for a cold winter evening :-- " Dissolve frigus, ligna super foco Large reponens : " Then fling on coals, and ripe the ribs, And beck the house baith butt and ben, That mutchkin-stoup it hauds but dribs, Then let's get in the tappit hen." Horace, however, did not build a monument for himself only, he had inscribed on it among many others the names of Augustus, and Maecenas and Quinctilius, on whom he has written an elegy which will last while justice and honour and truth are revered as virtues. To him Maecenas in these days owes his fame, and the splendid character drawn by Morgan Rattler, Esq., M.A., an apprentice of the law in the nineteenth century : " The peculiar privilege of the renown of Mavensta's gentle name is, that it renews its accumulated honours in the person of each lofty and generous patron of life• rature and the learned, which the world, in its successive centuries produces to do grace to human kind. Tho great politician and philosopher, the accomplished scholar, the princely gentleman, the honest prime minister, who shrunk from ncthing in labour except its ordinary rewards, who was content,— ' Certare ingenio, contendere nobilitate, Nocteis atque dies niti prtestante labore,' and yet who was so great of heart as to disregard the stomas opes, who would never take anything from the country and the master he so worthily served—who despised all conventional rank and title—who was indif ferent quite to personal power—might have been for gotten; but the benefactor and friend of Horace and Virgil survives the wreck of the mighty empire he helped to raise, and can never die in animis &minion cternitate temporum, fctm6 rerum, And be it known, moreover, that while this gentleman lived—the finest gentleman, perhaps, the world has ever known, for the very j o k es of Augustus, who was also a true gentleman, independent of rank and station, go only to prove this—while Mmcenas lived, he was equally dear to the poor and ignorant, as to the lofty and the learned. Gentleness, courtesy, munificence, boundless charity, the outward and visible signs of the kingly blood that ran through his veins, made him beloved by the multitude, in the same degree with their imperial benefactor Augustus. Horace, with an overflowing of delight, alludes, in two places, to the manner in which his friend was received, when, after a long and dan gerous illness, he once more took his place amongst the knights at the theatre— Cam populus frequens L.'etum theatris ter crepuit sonum.' These "Ramblingßemarks" will be read with pleasure by the admirer of Horace, not only from their in trinsic merit, but for the choice selections from his works, with the best translations in verse, and the proofs they furnish of the most remarkable fulfilment of a prophecy. About forty years 8.C., when the in habitants of these isles roamed in their native woods with painted skins, and were more savage than the red men of America, he uttered the words—" Visam Britannos hospitibus feros," and in these latter days we find his works in the hand of every schoolboy ; and the first poets of the age, Milton and Ben Jonson, and Dryden and Pope, vieing with each other in render ing his immortal odes into English verse. On re ferring to the political, and what may be called the business dissertations in the Magazine, it is refreshing to witness the happy change which has taken place in this clever periodical. For many years it went on part passu with its brother of the North, reviling Catholics, defending the statu s quo of Church and State, and trade, and declared every man a traitor.-- a "thief and loon," who would not sub scribe to the doctrine that the Constitution was perfect when George 111. was King. It has suddenly started off at a tangent from old Blackwood, defends free-trade measures, stands up for the Catholics, a large increase of the grant to Maynooth, and even looks forward, if not with com placency, at least without concern, to the period when the Catholic religion shall be the State religion of Ireland. To save appearance, Fraser admits that the carriage is running down the pass at a tremendous rate, but he has full confidence in the coachman. He objects neither to the pace nor the position. "The , former, though rapid, will carry us the sooner through our perils ; the latter, though beset with some dangers, has a considerable touch of security in it too, an d we will tell our readers where t o look for it." He then furnishes very good reasons for liberal measures. But his remarks in reference to the Irish and their religion are most novel, and would have done honour to the Edinburgh thirty years ago : "So much for deeds actually done.

BLACK WOOD'S MAGAZINE. The history of th e e i g h teent h century is yet to be written. Sint e the days of Hume, no English writer has arisen,that deserves the title of historian. Smollett is a mere inanimate compileKofevents—a drudge that copied accounts of battles, and treaties, and rebellions, and political facts, from annual registers, newspapers, and dispatches, without infusing into his narration either argument or philosophical disquisition, or a particle of that divine spirit which re resents the great actors on the human Jiving,Atsge xis beings, renders ;their character . to the reader, and points out, as if by intuition, the mainspring of their actions and policy. We h ave scraps o f history and memoirs without number. Walpole, Fox, Russell, M'lntosh and many others have made attempts to give historical delineations of the more remarkable incidents of the period, nut they seemed overwhelmed with the magnitude of the task, and have left little or nothing that will descend to posterity. A writer in the present number of Blackwood has also tried his hand, and furnished an excellent sketch, at least for Tory readers, of the main features which distinguished the British history during the eighteenth century of the principles . of Whigs and Tories, and their respective capabilities for conducting the affairs of a great country. To the latter, of course, he gives the preference, not that they are abler or better men, not that they are less addicted to corruption and other great faults inherent in human nature, but be cause the basis of their government is property, which necessarily is vested comparatively in few hands, be cause they are opposed and narrowly watched by numbers, and are thus deterred from doing evil from the dread of the consequences recoiling on themselves. The Whigs when out of place are all honourable men —useful in their calling, excellent watchers, and most determined enemies of those political vices which in power they are more guilty of than their opponents, but they are bad rulers and unlucky statesmen. This, however, is put forth merely as an opinion and may be passed over, but there are some maxims laid down by the writer of a different character, which sound strangely in the ears of impartial men. " The Whigs (says the writer) had brought the country to the brink of ruin, about the year 1760, but fortunately George 111. and his advisers (meaning Bute and the Princess), from the first moment of his accession to the throne, set his face against the party. This was the turning point of English history; upon the success of that attempt the future character of the Government and of the people mainly depended. It for the first time since the Revolution restored the Government to its proper position—it rested it en property, and put numbers in opposition. This is the only true basis of good government." A tree is judged by its fruit—so are good governments; and what fruit was produced between 1763 and liO3 may be learned from the history of the American war and the mad policy of interfering with the in ternal government of France to prop up an imbecile and falling dynasty. It would be difficult— nay, impossible, to find in the whole annals of the country a time so full of disgrace, so many ignominious disasters, such a loss of territory, and such a general prostration of British power, while during all that long and dismal period the great specific was in operation—the Govern ment rested on property, and put numbers in opposi tion. Yet this remedy for bad government, which had been tried for forty years, and was found wanting, is still maintained to be the real cause of the glori ous struggle made against the French Revolution and the gigantic efforts of Bonaparte. The ul timate victory must be attributed to other causes. The old system was persevered in till actual destruction threatened the country. The Duke of York was sent to Holland ; favourites or men who could command patronage were placed in command of our armies, and disaster was the natural re sult. The French Revolution, not the " proper basis of good government," roused the country to energy ; the nobles and the clergy took warning from the fate of their French brethren, and energy was infused into our rulers by the fear ful destruction of the strongholds of despotism. These were the true causes of the great change which took place about the co mmencement o f t h e present century, and which carried the country triumphantly through so fearful a crisis. We have only space to advert to another Tory doctrine. That party, of course, hated the revolution of 1688, while they admit tha t , "we owe t o i t many of our greatest blessings.' And the se bl ess i ngs are " a national debt, a standing army, and a stable foreign policy." " Had Charles 1.," says the writer, " possessed five thousand guards, he w ou ld at once have crushed the Great Rebellion." That is, he would have carried into effect the dangerous plans of the renegade Straf ford,with the assistance of Laud, abroga r t e e s d toredopry, Parliaments, e and established a pure des potism. Such are the a sp i ra ti ons o f a genu i ne old Tory. Occasionally, however, the Whigs are allowed some merit. They carried on one great war with spirit and success, they brought about the revolution, though they did not carry it out with proper spir it; and justice is done to a f ew o f t h e i r l ea d ers . High praise is bestowed on Sir James Mackintosh, and regret expressed that he did not live to complete his history, which " would, unquestionably, have taken! its place with those of Hume, Robertson, and Gibbon. The following charact er , too, o f H orace W a l po l e is use • " Horace Walpole wa s a man o f th e w o r ld an d a courtier ; he had quick n a t ura l parts an d muc h ac qu i re d discernment. He was a good scholar, was fond of anti quities, and a passionate admirer of curiosities, which he collected with indefatigable industry, and no small success, from every quarter. He had lived too long in the political and great world not to have learned its sel fishness and appreciated its heartlessness; not to have become acquainted with many political secrets, and seen enough of political baseness. He had considerable powers of observation, and occasionally makes a profound remark, especially on the selfish tendencies and the se cret springs of the human heart. His characters are all drawn from the life ; and often with great power both of observation and expression. But he had not sufficient steadiness of thought or purpose to achieve anything considerable, or draw any important conclusions even from the multifarious information of which he was roaster, or the powers of observation which he possessed. There was nothing grand or generous in his composition. No elevated thoughts, no lofty aspirations, no patriotic resolves, are visible in his writing s ." There is another article, on a somewhat similar subject, "Lord Malmesbury's Diaries and Corres pondence ;" but it is occasionally enlivened by remarks on his unlucky mission to the Court of Brunswick, and the character of the Prince and Princess of Wales, in which the former is not spared. The following sentence closes the animadversions on his barbarous treatment of his future wife, when first introduced to her. " An interview of a minute's duration, brandy and an oath ; rare prospects_ for th e f e li c i ty and con tinuance of the future Hymen !" North returns to his "Specimens of the British Critics" with his wonted vigour and display of classical knowledge. Dryden and Pope form the subjects of the second series, which, though extending to great length, will appear sufficiently short to the admirers of those eminent poets. We subjoin a sketch of their peculiarities : " Pope had a gentleness of spirit, which showed itself in his filial offices to his father and mother—to her the most, in the prolonged wearing out of a beloved life. It appears in kindly relations to his friends, in charities, in the scheme of his life—contentedness in a bounded, quiet existence, a seclusion among books, and trees, and flowers. His life flowed on peaceably an d gent l y, lik e the noble river upon which his modest d we lli ng l oo k e d . constitutionallllhealth, a as we feebleness said from which h e su ff ered, might, often dedi ca t es a student. The doubly favour his mind ; as often the more delicate frame harbours the greater spirit ; and as inaptitude for active and rough sports, throws the solitary boy upon the companionship of books, and upon the energies, avo cations, and pleasures of his own intelligence and fancy. The little poem of his boyhood, and the first of his man hood, prophesy his tenor of life, and his literary career. " A commanding power, a predominant star in Eng ish literature—you might say that the l as t century be onged to him. Dryden reigned over hi s contempo raries. Pope, succeeding, took domini on over hi s own time and the following. The pupil of Dryden, and gratefully proud to proclaim the greatness of his master, and to own all obligations, he moulded himself never theless upon a type w his MA 'gilds In the school of Dryden he is an original master. Dryden is, properly sseaking, without imitators. His manner proceeds from his own genius, and baffles transcribers. But Pope com pleted an art which could be learned, and he left a world full of copyists. _ _ " A remarkable feature is the early acknowledgment of Pope by his contemporaries. At sixteen he is a poet for the world by his Pastorals, and at that age he has a literary adviser in Walsh and a literary patron in Trum bull. He does not seem to court. He is courted. He is the intimate friend, we do not know how soon, of scholars and polite writers, of men and women high in birth, in education, in station. Scarce twenty, by his Essay on Criticism' he assumes a chair in the school of the Muses. At five-and-twenty, he is an acknowledged dictator of polite letters. So early, rapid, untroubled an ascension to fame, it would require some research to find a parallel to. Our literature has it not. And this ac knowledgment, gratulation, triumph, which friends and circles, and the confined literary world of that day in this country could furnish, a whole age, and a whole country, and a whole world, the extended republic of letters, confirm. " In the judgment of England, in the eighteenth cen tury, the reputation of Pope may be called the most dazzling in English literature. It was a nearer sun than Dryden, Milton, Shakspeare ; as for Spenser and Chau cer, they were little better than fixed stars." BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY. Mr. Albert Smith's tale, " The Marchioness of Brinvilliers," has reached its ninth chapter; it is well told, and the snatches of description given of the indoor and outdoor life of Paris in the FevetWElßWr tury are natural and picturesque, though the subject matter of the story is very different from the adven tures of Mr. Ledbury. This old acquaintance of the readers of this periodical turns up again in the present Number, and figures in a Polka party in one of the new villa residences " which cabmen never can find out," in the neighbourhood of Primrose-hill, whereby he a.rnost brings the house itself—and a lawsuit, on the head of his respeeted parent. The paper on " Crock ford's" should be read by all as an expose of the utter folly of gaming. The "Bank" is as certai❑ to re ceive the fortune of the player in the long run, as the river's-bed would absorb the contents of a bag of gold poured from the parapet of Waterloo-bridge. After giving numerous instances of members of the aristo cracy, whose property was all transferred to the pockets of the owner of that splendid den, the writer says : Where, on the other hand, is to be discovered that wonder of a man, who by indulgence in play has bene fitted his estate, increased his means, or added one jot to his reputation, or to the peace and happiness of those connected with him I Echo answers—' Where ?' One of the most steady, temperate, and prudent speculators at Crockford's was the late Lord S— ; but with all his calm and imperturbable disposition and bold enter prise, the game conquered him, and he could no more controul or defeat the certain pull or per tentage against him than he could have accelerated or retarded the earth's revolutionary motion. He was passionately fond of French hazard ; but he had the prudence, and with it the resolution, to confine his risk within legitimate bounds, and yet he contributed annually to increase the mound of Crockford's profits. The late Marquis of H—, who :was deeply and practically skilled in the speculative science of play, and who had little love of any game that afforded not advantage to those best ac quainted with its principles, was once or twice induced to try his hand at French hazard, but very soon discovered that the only certainty it embraced was loss to the player, and profit to the banker. He himself was a loser on the occasion allUded to, an event so unusual in his Lordship's practice, that it gave rise to the following ouplet : Say, holy prophet, who can hope to win, Where men like H— can be taken in ?" The sketch of "Monmouth," by Miss Costello, is interesting, full of antiquarian research, and recom mended by recent observation. The " Anecdotal Gatherings," by Mr. Peake, are trivial, and not worthy of his reputation. The remainin? articles are, " A Memoir of Boruwlaski," the Polish dwarf, who died in 1837, at the extreme age of ninety-eight. The " Retreat to Corunna," from the " Recollections of Rifleman Harris ;" a chapter from the sad volume opened by the "Gaol Chaplain," and several minor pieces in prose and verse, which we need not particularise. DOUGLAS JERROLD'S SHILLING MAGAZINE. We have two more chapters of the " History of St. Giles and St. James." Young St. Giles is taken to the watchhouse and locked up for the night, on the charge of stealing the hat of young St. James. He is, however, released the next morning through the inter vention of Bright Jem and Capstick, the muffin-man. The latter is a voter of the borough of Liquorish, the pocket borough of the Marquis of St. James, and the muffin-man goes to the Marquis to solicit the release of young St. Giles : " Now it oddly enough happened that, at the time when Capstick sought to approach the Marquis, Parlia ment was near its dissolution. The wicked old hag was all but breathing her last, yet—case-hardened old sinner !—she expressed no contrition, showed no touch of conscience for her past life of iniquity ; for her wrongs she had committed upon the weak and poor ; for the nightly robberies upon them who toiled for the especial luxury of those who, like the tenants of a cheese, lived and crawled upon unearned pensions ; she repented not of the blood she had shed in the wickedness of war ; never called about her soft-hearted, tearful, most ortho dox bishops, to assuage the agony of her remorse, and to cause her to make a clean breast of all her hidden iniquity. No. Parliament was about to expire—about to follow her sinful predecessors (what horrid epitaphs has History written upon some of them !) and she heard no voice of conscience; all she heard was the chink of guineas pursed by bribery for her successor." tinder such Orcurnstances, a refusal was not to be '-expecta, and accordingly St. Giles is discharged by the.magistrate fbr want Gf a prosecutor. The iniquity and injustice of the window-tax is the subject of an admirable paper, entitled " The Luxury of Light." This article will henceforth become the manual of all who are engaged in the agitation against this typhus producing impost. Patmore's " Recollections of Hazlitt" are continued ; they relate chiefly to Haz litt's connexion with Northcote. Juniper Hedgehog, too, continues his " Correspondence of Sir James Graham,"—" the sealing-wax Jack Sheppard," as Hedgehog calls him. Master Juniper, we think, prophecies correctly—" The fun is not over yet," sayeth he; "meantime, if you write, don't either use wax or wafers, it's only wasting property." The re maining papers in this number are all good. Douglas Jerrold this month gives us an excellent shilling's worth. SUPEERINTENDENT.

BURGESS' ESSENCE of ANCHOVIES Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner of the Savoy-steps, London JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their make, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The gene ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un guarded ; and, for their detection, J.

John Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope will prevent many disappointments.

PATENT PARAGON CAMPIIIND LAMPS.

The best paper in the present Number of Ains worth is a feeling tribute to the powers and many estimable qualities of the late Mr. Laman Blanchard; many extracts from his numerous essays are given, among them, like a gem in a rich setting, a part of one of his poems, " The Eloquent Pastor Dead," some verses of which, though our readers may re member them, they will not object to perusing again ; they are, says the writer of the article, singularly descriptive of the amiable poet and essayist himself:— " Oh, mourn not ! yet remember what has been— How buoyantly he trod this troubled scene, The pathways of his spirit always green! " He taught the cheerfulness that still is ours, The sweetness that still lurks in human powers;— If heaven be full of stars, the earth has flowers! " His was the searching thought, the glowing mind ; The gentle will to others' soon resign'd • But more than all, the feeli ng j us t an d kind. " His pleasures were as melodies from reeds— Sweet books, deep music, and unselfish deeds, Finding immortal flowers in human weeds. * * * * * * " His thoughts were as a pyramid up-piled, On whose far top an angel stood and smiled— Yet, in his heart, was he a simple child." Mr. Ainsworth's " Revelations of London, proceeds— we wish we could say with increasing effect; but the introduction of Rosiorucians and the elixir of life, undying men, and compacts with fiends, into a framework of the everyday life of London, is not cal culated to take a strong hold of the reader. It has all been done before besides ; for instance, the opening of the tomb of the Rosicrucian in the old house at Stepney in this Number, is almost a repetition of the passage in the " Lay of the Last Minstrel," where William of Deloraine takes the "Book of Might" from the tomb of Michael Scott. The article on Townsend, the officer, by the author of " Mornings in Bow-street," is amusing. The man was an original, and a great character in his way; the paper makes us at once wish to know more of its hero, and see something from its author more frequently. The mingled fun and pathos of those "Mornings in Bow street" still dwell in the memories of many. The " D'Orsay Gallery " is a descriptive paper: of the productions of the pencil of Count D'Orsay, who, in the absorbing idleness of high life, has found time to prove to the world that he has talents that might have won him a high place in the list of painters, had fortune compelled him to be a follower of the arts instead of making him a leader of fashion. A.s a specimen of his skill, a portrait of Mr. Ainsworth, by the Count, is given, and is worth whole pages of description or eulogy. Many of the other papers are very readable, and the Number is al togother an exceedingly good one. TAIT'S MAGAZINE. The article on " The Correspondence of Edmund Burke" is in every respect excellent. It gives, with out pretensions, a graphic description of his active and varied life, his political connexions, his change of politics (if his marked detestation of the horrors of the French Revolution deserve the name), the neglect with which he was treated by a party that he had long served faithfully and effectually, the comparative solitude and gloom in which he was left in the decline of life, and the melancholy sufferings which closed a life embittered tit last, beyond endurance, by the death of a brother and a son to whom he was ardently attached. Impartiality, truth, and kindness are the principal features in the picture here given of this beautiful writer and splendid orator. His faults and frailties are not extenuated, but they are pcurtrayed as if by the hand of a friend—his great qualities, his eloquence, varied information, industry, and genius, though incidentally mentioned, are placed in full view ; and the reflections on his death are expressed in glowing language, and bear all the marks of sin cere conviction. After quoting a letter addressed to Burke on his death- bed, by the daughter-in-law of the venerable Quaker at whose school he had received his early education, the last, or among the last, which ne received, the writer thus concludes :—" And so Edmund Burke sank to his long sleep—the innocent memories of childhood hovering round his pillow, the blessing of pious friendship resting upon his head. The overworked heart, whose beatings literally destroyed it, had ceased to beat at last. The worn out body was deposited in that quiet village church, where the beloved son and brother lay already, and where, many years afterwards, the aged widow was to lie down beside her own. There, too, lay buried the distrusts and animosities, the disappointments and regrets ; there lay buried all of sorrow and of suffer ing, which, imparted by birth to the human spirit, the cold hand of death wipes away. On earth, nought survived but the name of the dead, and the works which have made that name immortal: the name of a man who sometimes erred in thought, and often sinned in feeling and in act, but who yet was wise, and good, and great; works which, in spite of grievous faults, are among the noblest monuments ever created in the arts of thinking and of commu nication." The article is long, extending to seventeen pages ; but, with the judicious remarks of the reviewer and the extracts from his letters, is full of interest ; and we may, therefore, be excused for giving the follow ing additional extract, as it displays at once the in dependence and sincerity of his political opinions, and the deep interest which he took in the sufferings of his persecuted countrymen :- 9 He obeyed the Ministry in nothing: ho would not even agree with them, unless when they chose to obey him. He re s i s t e d th em steut l y, even i n t h e i r policy with regard to the events which alone drew him and them to gether. H e diff ere d f rom t h em di ametrica lly as to th e conduct of that unlucky war, which he, like them held to(anhde much more decidedly than their leader, Pitt), `just and necessary.' Ho remonstrated against i f e n e thehle pam measures phlet p sw r h i v i a c h t e l h y e ; p l u i o h l d i s e h n e o d u n p, c f w e d r them m their publicly retirement from parliament. Never was Ministry plagued with such a partisan. Or rather, toexpreshsytshuech n re a lati a o l n ly to ari re correctly, never was party perplexed ally too powerful not to be courted, yet too thoroughly unmanag eable to be efficiently used. Nor was this all. There was one great question, upon which his head and heart were alike sound to the very last. To Ireland his affection was always true. In regard t o t h e treatment of Ireland, his indignation never waxed cold: —the genuine remedies for the evils of Ireland wer e a l ways clearly and s teadily present to his view, It i s consolatory to be able to close the survey of his agitat e d career with a notice of events in which his enlightened patriotism shone out with steady brightness, and in which an honourable part was borne by one who was dearer to him than fame or life." There is another rather long article giving numerous ex tracts from re cen t novels on the Condition-of-Ireland question, which are descriptive of the habits of the people, and the state of the country, and one entitled " Opinions of the Germans on the Scottish Church 1~w'!~. NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. Let the lovers of "mirth and marvels" rejoice— Thomas Ingoldsby is again in the field, and opens the present number of the New Monthly, with " A Lay of St. Romwold." It is so • long since we have had anything from the pen of Thomas Ingoldsby, that we were afraid he had retired to some " Sacellum or cell, In which chronicles tell, Saints and anchorites erst were accustomed to dwell, as he himself singeth in the " Lay of St. Romwold, but we rejoice to say that he has arisen, " like a gian refreshed," and is as quaint, as mirthful, and as mar vellous as ever. The Lay is followed by a continua tion of the "Talleyrand Papers," containing the history of Cerutti, the coadjutor of Alirabeau and Talleyrand in starting the first popular journal ever published in France, the Feuille Fillageoise. Cerutti had been in early life a Jesuit, having been entrapped into becom ing a member of the society by a series of the most un principled and heartless intrigues ever recorded. their object in inveigling Cerutti was to get possession of his estates, and in order to secure the possession they murdered his brother Cesario. After reading the re velations of Cerutti we cannot help thinking that the fears of assassination entertained by Al. Ville main are not altogether so ill-founded as we in Eng land have been led to suppose. This is followed by a continuation of " Lights and Shades in the Life of a Gentleman on Half-pay," from the pen of the author of " Stories of Waterloo." " D'Arcey's Visit to a Circassian Chief," " The excursion up the Oronooka," and " The Roberts's on Travels" are continued in the present number. From this latrer work we extract the following sketch of a class of English travellers, who are the pest of the continent. Mrs. Trollope has been often charged , with caricature and exaggeration ; we can, however, from our personal knowledge, vouch for her strict accuracy in the present instance, and are rejoiced to find that she remarks— " The fast class are, on their native soil, of littte im portance to us compared with the injurious effect they produce on the reputation of their countrymen abroad. There is not a capital in Europe, to say nothing of spas, baths, wells, and so forth, where a knot of these frolick ing, rollicking Englishmen may not be found, not only doing pretty nearly every thing that they ought not to do, but doing it with such audacity of display, as of ne cessity brings all eyes upon them ; while by thus thrust ing themselves and their noisy impertinence perpetually on the foreground, they contrive very effectually to keep the better class of English travellers comparatively out of sight, leaving their own precious sayings and doings to be quoted by all the nations of the earth, a.s the moral and intellectual type of the British people. " This is a pity, and cannot fail to be much lamented by the patriotic English both at home and abroad; for the class is perfectly well known at home, and the effect they produce when on their travel is guessed at without much difficulty. But although the class of men denomi nated fast men may be perfectly well known in Eng land, and sufficiently studied without lea v i ng it, th ere i s another class sent forth by our overflowing population, which can only be seen in perfection abroad, namely, that awful portion of the travelling tribe, properly deno minated ' fast ladies.' Of this class, the women of Eng land who remain at home have, I really hope and be lieve, no idea whatever; and were it not that these too, from the noisy audacity with which they bring them selves forward, are frequently pointed out as specimens of English women of fashion, it would be desirable to leave them in the shade in which their insignificance at home would naturaly place them; but as it is, it may be useful to raise a voice, however feeble, just to tell all whom it may concern, that the fast young ladies who are led about by their papas and mammas, from kingdom to kingdom, and from city to city,_flirting and frolicking in a style peculiarly their own and with such freedom from all ordinary young lady-like restraint, as entitles them to the said epithet of fast, are not specimens of the gentlemen's daughters of England." " We laugh at our French neighbours for the blunders they make with our titles; but the Sir Bulwer and the Sir Scott, does greatly less discredit to their quickness than the judgments which they pass so freely upon the deficiency of grace in English manners. Not only the French, however, but all other nations of Europe, be fore they can justly appropriate to themselves the merit of discernment while passing this judgment, must rouse their acuteness to the task of not mistaking a bad speci men for a good one." The " Frog and the Fox" is a history of the career of a parish demagogue, b 7 Peter Priggins, and " Born under the Dog Star, is a lively sketch of the career of a thorough mauvais sujet, from the pen of one of the most rising of our young writers, Angus B. Reach. The Number concludes with a sketch of the literary career of poor Laman Blanchard, the most amusing of authors and the most kind-hearted of men. COLBURN'S UNITED SERVICE MAGAZINE. Our friend Major Muffin continues his amusing conversations in the present Number. " The Re miniscences of a French Prison" are also continued. These reminiscences increase in interest as they proceed. We are sorry to take leave of the Naval Chaplain, who concludes his " Note Book" this month, but we hope soon to meet with him again. The remainder of the articles are of a strictly professional character. .t:l•*.s.• Table Spoons and Forks, full 660, per Dessert do. do. do los. Od. 21e. Od. 255. Od Tea do. do. do ••• • • • ss.
