''''':lt' i ..,,,..- ; ....., ......3, zrf),e -,11/3-7(4 LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL.2, - 1836. _ A message from Sir FRANCIS BEAD, the Lieute novprnnr o f - IT Iper Canada. to the House of As sembiy of -that Province, will be found in another co lumn. The tone of this document—which is through out simple and conciliatory—appears to have given mortal offence to our immaculate Contemporary of Printing-house-square. The Times is indignant with the whole scheme of our colonial policy, so deficient in " brickbat and bludgeon" vigour. Though the affair " is no laughing-matter," our Contemporary la bours hard to make it on by. unmeaning and ridiculous bluster.' Speaking ofthe 7 cOnciliatory conduct of 'Sir F. HEAD, the iti'7a burst of Constitutional in dignation, exclaims',Zeelnstead of telling these aggressors upon the coWittaional rights of the KING of England to mind own business, and keep within their own jurisdietion,This Governor of shreds and patches humbles hiniself—nay, rolls in the dust— before his persecutors,' deprecating their resentment, and crawling and writhing'4l4a i'purned slave." This may pass for thunder at - Wing _the " brick-bat and bludgeon" admiters of the '4tg i s,Tbut by a more en lightened audience it will be lattgted at, as not a whit more terrific than the puffing of a tinker's bellows. So this wiseacre, playing the part of Lieutenant- Governor, would tell the members of the Legislative Assembly to mind their own business? But what, if they were to answer, that they were minding their own business, and nothing but their own business, in requiring from the Governor of the Province such information as they judged necessary to enable them to discharge their. legislative duties faithfully and beneficially ? This, we venture to sal . , will be the conclusion at which every person who peruses the Message from Sir FRANCIS HEAD to the House of Assembly, with an honest in tention or an unprejudiced mind, must arrive. It may suit those who consider the advancement of party ob jects as the summum bonum, to which truth, justice, equity, and every other consideration are to be sacri ficed, to hold up-tile conduct of the Canadiao.Legisla- Live Assembly as all that is insolent and tyrannical on the one hand, and that of the Governor, as all that.is pusillanimous and slavish on the other ; but the sober minded and reflecting will, we apprehend, view the matter in a somewhat different light. They will see in the course pursued by the Assembly an anxious desire to promote the best interests of the Colony, by investigating closely the causes of those abuses seriously affecting the, prosperity of the colony, which it is admitted have crept . into various departments of the provincial administration, in order, if possible, to undo the mischief already done, or at all events to prevent the recurrence of similar evils in future ; while the conciliatory spirit which runs throughout Sir FRANCIS HEAD'S message will be applauded, as evincing a wise appreciation of the circumstances ' in which the Colony is placed, as well as a conviction that the days fur swagger and arbitrary rule on the part of the Governor over the governed, are now gone by. The Paris Journals of Thursday contain much mis cellaneous intelligence, but little that is of any public The most curious piece of gossip they contain, refers to a challenge said to have been sent by old Marshal MoNCEY, Governor of the Hotel des Invalides, to Marshal MA isoN, Minister of War, in consequence of some hasty expressions made use of by the latter, when speaking of the former. It was supposed, however, that the whole matter would be accommodated, as mutual friends had interfered. Not the least curious part of the business is the age of the challenger, who is a fiery warrior, ninety-four years old I The Courrier Francais repeats its assertion made a few days since, that Don Ail Gum. had embarked at 1 Inoment. Civita Vecchia, for the purpose of making his way to the head-quarters of Don CARLOS. This state ment, however, was not generally credited in the French capital, though it was well known that the ex-KING had of late been making many secret journies from Rome ; and was in cOns:quenee exposed to a strict, although not obvious, surveillance, by the French authorities in that city.. The trials of the conspirators accused of having formed a plot for the assassination of Louts PIIILLIPPE on his way to Neuilly, was still proceeding before the Cour d'Assizes at Paris. It did not, however, create such a public sensation as might have been expected. The news from Spain is but scanty. Don CARLOS was Mill reported to be in static quo ; nor is there any probability, up to the present mo ment, that he will he able to advance a step beyond his mountain holds. A Morning Contemporary, speak ing of the disagreements between Generals EvA Ns and CORDOVA, says—" CORDOVA utters incessant complaints against the English Legion ; but why, the letters do not say. We know, however, by previous repeated accounts, that he and, General EVANS disa greed from almost the very moment of the latter's arri val in Spain. CORDOVA-it is understood—has always behaved towards General EvANs and the Bri tish Legion, as if actuated by motives in which pri vate hatred and jealousy had a considerable share." The Journal de Paris, alluding to the state of affairs in Spain, observes—" A bulletin issued by General CORDOVA, confirms all the details given in that of General ESPARTERO, relating to the affair at Orduna. This new and important advantage will completely defeat the projects of the Carlists on the coasts of Biscay. They seem to have renounced their attempts against Bilboa and Lequeitio, and confine themselves to their nooks in the entrenched camps, which it is ex pected will shortly experience the same fate as those at Maturanna." PARIS, MARCH 31.—The Ministerial journals announce that the Minister of Marine has ordered an inquiry to be made respecting the burning of the Trocadero. From another quarter we hear that Admiral Rosamel set out for Toulon yesterday evening, to proceed to the enquiry. The Prince of Capua, brother to the King of Naples, accompanied by Miss Penelope Smith, left Madrid on the 15th of March, to come to Paris, whence they intend to go to Scotland. He arrived at Bordeaux on the 27th March, and was to leave that city yesterday afternoon. The Moniteur of this morning (March 31) publishes the Report presented to the King by M. d'Arg,out, on the administration of the finances during the year 1835. The Central Committee met yesterday, and heard the General Report drawn up by M. Gouin. The widow Petit Lasave, after having undergone two examinations at the Prefecture of the Police:has been set at liberty. It is affirmed that it was found that the file which she had when she was going to visit Boireau, could not be of any use to a prisoner. The most recent accounts from Mount Jura contain no thing remarkable, but give room to see that though the Communes are successively submitting, and though order appears to be gradually restored, yet the ignorance and fa naticism of part of the Catholic population still cause some uneasiness ; but the fermentation, which is not wholly allayed, would break out afresh on the departure of the troops.— Messager, March 31.

From the tendency of this article, however, it is apparent that it has been written under dictation, as a sort of indirect, semi-official apology for the late un justifiable invasion of the neutral territory of Cracow, especially when we find the writer gravely declaring that " the city has only gained by the clearance that has been made. It will no longer be burdened with a number of indigent persons, and the intercouse with the neighbouring States will be facilitated by the introduction of better measures in the territory itself." We doubt much the excellence of " measures" that proceed from a Russian source. If the prospects of Cracow be im proved, it will not be by NICHOLAS, but in spite of him. SHIPPING.—(THIS DAY.)

DUBLIN ELECTION COMMITTEE (THIS DAY.) The gqjrnjaix. rave minutet! Mr. MAXWELL (the Chairman) requested the Counsel on both sides to confine their observations on legal points as much as possible, so as not to occupy the time unnecessarily. The Committee were now pretty well conversant with the bearings of law on the several classes that came under discussion. Mr. JOY assured the Committee that on the part of the sit ting members there did not exist any disposition to occupy un necessarily the time of the Committee, but in the course of the scrutiny some new legal points might arise which would call for the obsesvations of Counsel. The scrutiny was then proceeded with ; one vote, that of John Dunn, was struck off Mr. O'Connell's poll, by consent of his agent. The votes of Edward O'Neill, No. 82, Thomes-street, and of Christopher Fitzgerald, No. 14, Fishamble-street, were ob jected to by the petitioners, but on argument, were decided to be good. The vote of William Nowlan, No. 40, Francis-street, was struck off the poll. This closed the class of objections taken by the petitioners, on the ground of non-payment of the Pipe Water Tax. The next list gone into was that of persons objected to for change of residence between the period of the registry and the election. William Brien, of Ropers-rest, was proposed to be struck off on this ground, and after argument, it was decided that the vote MS a bad one. A like objection was taken to the vote of Henry Kennedy, Powers-court, and after Counsel for the petitioners, read the evidence applicable to this case. It was struck off by consent of the sitting Member. This placed the sitting Members in a minority of one, and Mr. JOY, on behalf of Mr. O'Connell, was proceeding to attack the votes of the petitioners, when our Reporter left at three o'clock. Married on the 2d inst., Frederick Hawkcs Nottage, of Berden Hall and Park, Esq., to Miss Emily Adeliza Beres_ ford, of Belton House. . . There is a great quantity of land under water in the neighbourhood of Staines, and the flats in many places on the banks of the Thames, which «ill be a great loss to the far. mers, and unfit the ground fur the labour of the agriculturalists at this seeding time of the year. The weather throughout March, on the whole, has been unseasonable, and unfavourable for husbandry. COWPER , S OPINION OF POETS.-The perusal of Johnson's Lives left an uncomfortable impression upon Cowper. "Itis a melancholy obset vation," he says, " which it is impossible not to make, after having run through this series, that where there were such shining talents, there should be so little virtue. These luminaries of our country seem to Have been kindled into a brighter blaze than others, only that their spots might be more noticed :—so much can nature do for our intellectual part, and so little for our moral know not but one might search these volumes with a candle, as the prophet says, to find a man, and not find one, unless, perhaps, Arbuthnot were he." "In all the number I observe but one (a poet of no great fame,—of whom I did not know that he ex isted till I found him there), wLose mind sems to have the slightest tincture of religion; and he was hardly in his senses. His name was Collins. He sunk into a state of melancholy, and died young. Not long before his death he was found at his lodgings in Islington by his biographer, with the New Testament in his hand. He said to Johnson, I have but one book ; but it is the best.' Of him, therefore, there arc some hopes. But f ro m the lives of all the rest there is but one infer ence to be drawn :—that poets are a very Worthless wicked set of people."—Southey's Life of Cowper. So great was the violence of the wind on Thursday morning, that a young man, named Christopher Barres, was blown overboard from a vessel laden with fish, which w as pro ceeding to Billingsgate, and drowned, in spite of all the en deavours of the other men on board to save him. The acci dent occurred just off Blackwall. The body has not yet been found. _ _ SINGULAR CONDUCT.—After the Judges of As size had arrived in Carlisle a respectabl e -l oo ki ng, well _ dressed man, who signs himself " James Thompson, M. A.," went to the Police Office, apparently in great agony of mind, and told the Superintendent that he had committed a forgery by indorsing - an order for obtaining money from Messrs. Curtis and Co. with the name of the Rev. J o h n Fawcett, Minister of St. C uthbert ' s, Carlisle. H e seemed anxious to know if he could be tri ed at these As s i zes , an d on being answered in the affirmative he produced the forged document, which was an order for the payment of 3601., which he had offered at Messrs. Wakefield's Bank, in Car , lisle, but payment was refused. The prisoner was tried and acquitted, as it could not be ascertained without writing to Messrs. Curtis and Co., whether or not the prisoner in tJuded to defraud, which could only bring his offence within the meaning of the statute. It appeared that Th ompson had gone to the Rev. Mr. Fawcett , and requested him to s i gn a document, which he said it was necessary to hav e signed before he could recover a certain ' As soon as he had got the Rev.

GRAND WRESTLING MATCH. ------. _ Yesterday was the day appointed, by annual custom, for the extensive prizes given by the gentlemen of Cumberland and Westmoreland, to be awarded to the best wrestlers of the two counties. As early as twelve o'clock about two thousand had assembled, notwithstanding the badness of the day. At two o'clock it was determined to make something in the shape of a commencement, but the ground was in such a state, that after a little light, but very good play, the match was adjourned. STEEPLE CHASE AT SHELFANGER. This little entertaining affair came off with great eclat on Saturday last, at Shelfanger, on a bet of 10 sove. between Shildrake Smith, Esq., of Frenze• Hall, and Mr. Green, of sporting notoriety—Moonraker, a brown horse, the property of the former, and Pioneer, a grey horse, the property of the latter gentleman. The distance (three miles) was well con tested, over a heavy country, rendered more so by the late heavy storms, intersected by numerous fences of those small inclosures into which the confines of the two counties of Nor folk and Suffolk are subdivided. It was nobly won by. Moon raker, with his utmost exertions, but the greatest difficulty, before a large assemblage of the sporting gentlemen from every part of the surrounding neighbourhood, and to whom it afforded general satisfaction.

Where horses run a dead heat for a sweepstakes or plate, and the parties agree to divide the stakes, such horses shall be liable to carry extra weight as winners; and all bets between such horses, or between either of them and the field, must be settled by the money betted being put together and divided between the parties, in the same proportion as the stakes shall have been divided. If a bet be made on one of the horses that ran the dead heat against a horse that was beaten in the race, he who backed the horse that ran the dead heat wins half his bet. If the dead heat be the first event of a double bet, the bet shall be void." It was also resolved, that in the second clause of the 44th rule of the Jockey Club, the words " including the 21b. allowed" be omitted. DONCASTER RACES. —ln order to increase the interest and attractions of the ensuing meeting, it was decided at the meet ing of the new Town Council, held on Tuesday last, that the sum of four hundred sovereigns should be appropriated in aug mentation of several of the prizes to be contended for on that occasion. This sum, in addition to the King's hundred, the subscriptions from the town itself, by the Stewards, &c., will present a total amount, given for the encouragement of the races, of little less than 1,0001. The liberality th us ev i nce d by all parties cannot fail to increase the number of competitors for the respective prizes, to diffuse satisfaction amongst all the breeders and trainers, and to render the meeting more attrac tive to all the lovers of the turf. PONY TROTTING MATCH. —A trotting match took place yes terday, between Rossington Bridge and Bennitthorpe, near this town, between Mr. I. Hutchinson's Red Rover, 6 yrs. old, 10st. 61b., and Mr. Wm. Taylor's Jerry, aged, 9st. 31b. The conditions were to trot eight miles, turn round, and gallop one mile. Red Rover won easily by 100 yards : performed in forty three minutes. HUNTING APPOINTMENTS.

BRIBERY.— The charges of bribery at Yarmouth have not been legally proven. Preston and Green charged with having promised and paid money to Thomas Browne, to induce him to vote for Baring and Pracd, at the last Yarmouth election were acquitted. During the violence of the tempest on Wednesday afternoon, one of the largest trees in St. James's-park was uprooted, carrying with it great part of the iron railing between the canal and the parade. Mr. Richard Carter, the Coroner for the upper (eastern) division of the county of Surrey, and vestry-clerk of the parish of Kingston, died on Tuesday morning, after at short illness, caused by an attack of paralysis. He had held the situation of coroner 11 years, having succeeded the late Mr. Jemmett, and was very much respected for the very im partial and diligent manner in which he performed the duties of his office. Mr. Carter was in his 65th year, and the con test for the coronership in 182.5 with Mr. Jellicoe, of Wands worth, cost him 1,0001., and the unsuccessful candidate nearly twice that sum. The election of coroner is vested in the free holders of the whole county. A most superb vase has been manufactured at the Derby China manufactory, by order of the Marchioness of Hastings, which her Ladyship intends presenting to the Princess Victoria. The vase is Etruscan shaped, ornamented with raised flowers, modelled from nature, and is a splendid specimen of the art. It is in biscuit; the body of the vase is ornamented on one side with pinks and jessamine, and on the other with long.vort and saxifrage. The plinth is decorated with forget-me-not; the summit of the vase is filled with a large group of various flowers, consisting of the convolvulus, china-aster, pinks, rockets, speedwell, snowdrops, pansies, iris, hawthorn-bloom, ranunculus, &c.— Wolverhampton Chro nicle. EXECUTION OF THOMAS SHELLY.—SO early a s ten o'cicck on Saturday morning last crowds of people were assembling in every direction which commanded a view of the fatal drop where the unfortunate culprit was to expiate his guilt, and a little before twelve the throng became so dense that it was with difficulty we could procure a convenient stand ing-place. Shortly after the arrival of the Sheriff a ge neral stillness pervaded the whole multitude, which was immediately deepened by the appearance of the unfortunate culprit, who walked out on the drop with a slow but firm pace, attended by the Rev. Mr. Mullins, R. C. C., with whom he seemed to be fervently engaged in prayer. When the executioner was about to perform his sad office we never witnessed such strength of nerve as was exhibited by Shelly, rho actually seemed, by the inclination of his body and neck, to facilitate the dread preparation. The executioner having performed his office, the wretched being was launched into another world, after a few faint struggles.—Clonmel Advertiser. LITERATURE. LONDON AND WESTMINSTER REVIEW. Macrone. London. 183 G. We are glad to find that these two straight-forward, independent Journals have become " one flesh," bound together vinado matrimonii ; for by such a well-timed conjunction, the cause of social and political Reform cannot-fail to be advanced. Even in its best days, the " Westminster Review" was always something mono tonous and limited in its range of subjects—a defect which the accession of the London critics to its corps of contributors will no doubt remedy. Variety is the very salt of a periodical, one of the chief causes of its popularity, as was instanced in the cases of the " Edinburgh and Quarterly Review," both which, in the days of Gifford and Jeffrey, were remarkable for nothing more than the vast range of topics they dis cussed. The present Number of the " London and Westminster" ahounds in this desirable qualification, canvassing not only political themes, but expatiating over the wide field of history, biography, philosophy, and poetry. " Signs of the Times" is a remarkably well-reasoned article, temperate and dispassionate, es- . pecially in its observations on the progress of the de, mocratic spirit in England, which are stamped with sterling truth. The Reviewer says : " We have dwelt so long on the reforms in education neces sary for regenerating the character of the higher classes, that we have not space remaining to state what changes in forms of polity and social arrangements we conceive to be required for the same purpose. We can only just indicate the leading idea. Civilization has brought about a degree of security and fixity in the possession of all advantages once acquired, which has rendered it, for the first time in Europe, possible for a rich man to lead the life of a Sybarite, and nevertheless enjoy throughout life a degree of power and consideration which could formerly be earned or retained only by personal activity. We cannot undo what civilization has done, and again stimu late the energy of the higher classes by insecurity of property, or danger of life or limb. The only adventitious motive it is in the power of society to hold out is reputation and conse quence, and of this as much use as possible should be made for the encouragement of desert. The main thing which so cial changes can do for the improvement of the higher classes and it is what the progress of democracy is insensibly but cer tainly accomplishing—is gradually to put an end to every kind of unearned distinction, and let the only road open to honour and ascendancy be that of personal qualities." " Memoirs of Godoy" is an intelligent criticism on the autobiographical volume which this once influential Spaniard has lately published. The Prince of the Peace has long been maligned, both in France and Spain, for the looseness of his morals and his short sightedness as a Statesman, but in many instances, we believe, without foundation. It is now known that if not an immaculate, he was at any rate a diligent and acute politician ; and with respect to his moral obliquities, the Reviewer observes :—" In regard to the alleged looseness of his morals, we cannot claim a right to sit in judgment; but we must declare, as the result of close observation, that no man was ever more tempted. At his public levees were seen the most beautiful women from every part of Spain, brought there by their fathers and husbands, for the chance of engaging Godoy's attention. Spaniards who clamour on this point should remember with shame the state of morals among them, which this circumstance indi cates." The article on the " Local Government of the Metropolis" is for the most part of a statistic cha racter, entering into , a variety of minute local details, through which we cannot of course be ex pected to follow the Reviewer. It will be read with deep interest by all who are acquainted with the nature of the topics oa which it treats. " Political and Social Condition of France" is the result of profound, curious, and extensive spe culation. The writer truly remarks, that the first French Revolution could not possibly have been much longer protracted, seeing that the nation was, almost to a man, prepared for it. It was, he remarks, but a violent and rapid process, by the aid of- which the changes already effected in society were extended to the Govprnmont. " Orange Conspiracy"--a very ap propriate appellation—is full of details ; but as the subject is now pretty well worn thread-bare, and the Orange Institutions have themselves all passed away for ever, going out like the snuff of a rushlight, there is no need for us to enlarge upon the theme. " Eng lish Literature of 1835" gives a fair and candid re view of the chief publications, in all departments of the belles lettres, of the last year. We should have been glad, however, to have seen a more extended no tice given of Mr. Bulwer's fictions—which are un questionably at the head of their class. The " Penny Stamp" inveighs in decided terms against Mr. Spring Rice's proposed plan of reduction, insisti ng t h at t h e Penny Stamp should be altogether abolished. We have already expressed our opinions on this point at considerable length in The Sun. On the whole, we may pronounce this Number to be one of more than average merit. MAGAZINES-CONTINUED. THE RAILWAY MAGAZINE FOR APRIL— Herapalls. 1. The first great principle is, that every line should be so laid out that it may diffuse the greatest quantity of benefit to the country lying between the place from which it starts and that to which it is intended to be carried. 2. All existing interosts, except those directly affected by by the new mode of transit, should be interfered with as little as possible, unless beneficially. 3. The new line of traffic ought to deviate from the old, wherever towns are concerned, the least that the ground will permit. 4. Domestic comforts or privacy should not be invaded, if it be possible to avoid it. 5. In laying down a line of railway between two distant towns, an especial regard should be had to intermediate traffic and population ; and every town, other things being alike, should approximate to the line of railway in the direct ratio of its public importance. 6. A turnpike road should on no account whatever be per mitted to be crossed with a railroad on a level. 7. Long tracts of low flat country should be avoided as un favourable to railways, not only on account of their dampness and interruptions to the good working of the trains, but more particularly if crossed by navigable rivers or canals, as gene rally more expensive, less convenient, and less safe for a rail road than a country gently undulating. 8. Whenever a rail-road has to cross a navigable river, it is always advisable to do it at such an elevation as to avoid a swivel bridge. 9. Tunnels ought to be especially avoided. TAIT'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE. We have here a friend—a friend, too, like us, of the People—whom we are always ready to receive with our heartiest welcome. In the present Number, which is decidedly among the best with which our northern Contemporary is wont to instruct and delight his readers, we miss the political paper which his " feast of reason " usually opens with. There is, however, towards the end of the Number, an article on " England, Turkey, Russia:--the Balance of Power, and the non-intervention Principle," which we fear will not generally be deemed an equivalent, although it displays throughout much ingenious reasoning and great ability, and above all has ill it that honesty of purpose, combined with a vigour of thought, which re deems even erroneous views. As, owing to a pressure on our time, we have been able only just to run rapidly through the article, we will not instance those few opi nions in it, against which we should certainly feel dis posed at the first blush to enter our protest, for their apparent opposition to our own views, as well as to those of the more enlightened of our London Contem poraries, we prefer the more gratifying task of trans cribing the following just remarks on the phantom called the " Balance of Power" : The wars of Great Britain, on the Continent of Europe, have, in all, or the great majority of instances, been wars of a gg re ssion —undertaken sometimes in behalf of allies, from whom we never in return received assistance in time of need ; and often the offspring. of diplomatic intrigue or royal pique. But, what ever the origin of our wars may have been, the re sults have a ll proved alike fatal to the best interests of the people. A thousand millions of treasure have been wasted, and army upon army of Britons sacrificed, in the maintenance of a theory the most absurd, and yet the most prolific of mis. ------''' '---'-'--ould chief and fertile in horrors, that the evil genius of m an c o rer possibly have invented—we need scarce ly sa y , that we r to the scheme of a balance of power in Europe. The object of the writer is to pro ve that the rig lt i l et policy of England in this case is to preserve a s neutrality. He concludes the politic al paper which we have been compelled to notice so cursorily with these words : an the .nc ln our . opinion, the people of this country (we in af -I..lustrious classes) have no interest in interposing 10 : 5 o f i fairs of Russia and Turkey ; they cannot, front moti ve a k e iumanity, civilization, or religion, be called upon to undertake lf, notwithstandTge, the support of the latter government. we should enter the field in defence of tho Ottoman cul'lnir, then it is not difficult to foresee that we should fail to ace ° l England, to p o lash any permament objects b our sacrifices. Turkeg* 1 her re Durres cannot perpyetuate‘the existence rf m betit Its population may indeed remain unimpaired in nt l . „ o . and its tcrritot y will, of course, endure for ever; but t ts ot , vcrnment, religion, laws, and institutions, no human l' ° '' can sustain in Europe another century. Elliott, the author of " Corn Law Rhymes," h 95 contributed two songs, characterised by that gen 7 which has immortalised his name. We . cannot rest 1 the satisfaction of copying one of them : THE POETIC CHILD. Child of the hopeless ! two hearts broke Ere thou vast orphan'd here ; - They left a treasure in thy breast— . The soul of pity's tear. -- And thou mayst be—not what thou wilt;-- Say, then, what wouldst thou be? A poet ?

But be the bard of all mankind, The prophet of all time, • And tempt the saints in heav'n to steal Earth's truth-created rhyme ; Be the Columbus of a world Where wisdom knows not fear— The Homer of a race of men Who laugh at sword and spear. God in thy heart thou see'st and feel'st, If bard, indeed, thou be ; And thou can'st teach the rich and poor To see themselves in thee.
