It is not, then, within, but without, the walls of Par liament that the impulse must originate which shall carry Lord ASHLEY'S measure to a triumphant issue ; and thaf impulse once fairly roused and set in vigorous action, who can possibly doubt the result ? Mr. SMITH, a surgeon, who stated that he had had " a quarter of a centu,ry's practice at the Leeds Infir mary," observed that he " had been long accustomed to see the injurious effects produced by the protracted labour of young persons in factories," and pointedly alluded to a late meeting of mill-owners and manufac turers, at which, among other resolutions, it was moved, that "the hours of working now customary for women and young persons in the mills are not oppressive, nor injurious to health." We should like to see the wealthy mill-owners and manufacturers, who so coolly agreed to this resolution, try the experi ment of excessive labour on their own children ! Let them subject these tenderly nurtured sons and daugh ters, who are brought up in the lap of luxury—who have no ailments but such as are elegantand respectable ones—whose only labours are confined to practising on a piano, and dancing half the night in a ball-room —who, if a slight headache affects them, can ride it off in a carriage—or if hysterics (that besetting ma lady of the genteel) incommode them, can bathe them away in some fashionable watering• place, when busi ness happens to be slack at the paternal mill, and the family may decamp with propriety ; let the parents, we say, of these fortunate young folks subject them to the same labours to which the poor, unprotected, un pitied factory women and children are subjected ; let them set them vigorously to work for twelve hours in the day—with no elegant Grecian couch, or soft cushioned rose-wood chair, to take even a half• hour's rest upon—with no fresh air to recruit their fainting spirits, and no kind words to cheer them in the hours of toil ;—let the millowners and manufactures who agreed to the above resolution, subject their own flesh and blood to this experiment ; and then, if no ill effects result from it, if their children, after six weeks' hard work in the factory, are as fresh, as contented, as healthy, and as happy as they were on the day they first entered it, we will give up our argument, confess that we have been altogether in the wrong, and— notwithstanding the strong evidence presented by a hundred medical men to the contrary—agree, that " the hours of working now customary for women and young persons in the mills, are not oppressive to the work-people, nor injurious to their health ;" but, on the contrary, are productive of health, happiness, and morality in an eminent degree, and as beneficial to the interests of the employed as they unquestionably are to those of their employers! In taking leave of this difficult and painful subject—in discussing which we have no wish to bear hard on the manufacturers, but simply to do justice to ! - troth parties—for MI) should not humanity have a voice in the matter as well as Mammon ?—in taking leave, for the present, of this most momentous question, we cannot' refrain from alluding to the wish that not a few of the master manufacturers have expressed, that the work-people should have the benefit of a sound and plain educa tion. The wish is creditable to them ; but far more creditable would it be, were they, without confining themselves to mere words, to make suitable provision for enabling the operatives to obtain such an educa tion. But how can people who have been labouring twelve hours in the day, in an erect posture, in an atmosphere little short of tropical in its heat,—how can such poor creatures, with stiffened joints, languid frames, heavy eyes, and still heavier hearts, find time and energy sufficient for attending to the due culture of their minds ? In such a case—and it is one of every-day occurrence in the factories—nothing re mains for the toil-worn operative but to endeavour to recruit li:s or her spirits by " tired Nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep"—a sleep too often, we fear, troubled by ghastly dreams and fore-shadowings of the future, and not uninvaded by the monotonous sound of the factory bell, which must ring in the ears of the emaciated operative like a prophetic death knell ! Perhaps the nicst remarkable event of that portion of the present year which has yet elapsed is, that yeeterday the price of the Three per Cent. Consols attained to par, in other words, that 1001. cash were paid for 1001. of this description of stock ! In every point of view this fact must be re garded as one of the very highest degree of interest end importance. It marks a point in the financial, the social, and the political history of the empire, from which we shall be enabled to estimate, with more precision and a better-informed judgment than we could otherwise have hoped to bring to the sub ject, the development of the resources with the expenditure of the country; and the coincident ac cumulation of the national capital with the in crease of the debt of the nation. To the future historian of the present age, it will present a prominent epoch in the annals of the public credit or faith, which he may conveniently select for the close of one eventful period in the financial and domestic progress of Great Britain, and, assuredly, from which he may date the commencement of another. The last occasion upon which the Three per Cents. were at par was in the year 1749 (just 95 years since). The amount of the Public Debt was then 78,300,000/. The preceding year had wit nessed the conclusion of the " Spanish War," as it was called, which commenced in 1739, and had in creased the debt to the amount just stated, from a total of 46,955,000/. (or to the extent, in about ten years, of 31,339,0001.) The amount of the Public Debt, at this moment, is in round numbers, is 752,000,000/., being an increase, in the 9.; years which have elapsed since 1749, of G 74,000,000/. If the fact of a given description cf stock being at par in the money market raises a legitimate inference that.there is capital enough afloat to purchase up the whole of it, then we must assume that there is capital seeking investment in Govern! ment securities at this time to the whole amount of the Three per Cents., viz., for England, Three per Cent. Consolidated Annuities, Reduced ditto, Debt to Bank of England, and South Sea Company Old and New ditto Annuities ; S. S. Annuities and Bank, 497,329,000/. ; for Ireland, 2,818,0001.—in all, say 500,147,0001. Now, this is pretty well. It would, in practical operation, give such a valueto the remain ing portion of the debt in the nature of increased interest, as would speedily enable the Government to reduce the dimensions of the Colossus to those of the minute " General Thomas Thumb," the last favoured object of Royal curiosity. The expectations of the Herald, we presume, greatly exceed our moderate dealing with this bagatelle of 500;147,000/. In 1749, says our Contemporary, the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were at par, the public debt being no more than 78,000,000/. " This proved that there *ere rich men enough--and rich enough—ln the country to purchase or to possess 7 . 8,000,0001. ; at present the debt is, we believe, 750,000,000/., and the Three per Cents. are again at par —does not this prove something like a tenfold increase in the wealth of the country ?" That is,—carrying out his own argument to its legitimate extent, that, with a similar price of Three per Cents. in 1844 as in 1749, there must be " rich men enough—and rich enough—in this country , to purchase or to possess 72,0001000/." On the same principle it would follow that if in 1815, when the National Debt stood at 864,000,000/., —the Threes had risen to par. there would have been " rich men enough—and rich enough—in this country to purchase or possess," in the way of in vestment, even that fearful aggregate of capital stock. But remembering that, on the aggregate of the last four years of the war, from 1812 to 1815 inclusive, the amount of -money raised on the count r y h a d b een , i n taxes, 300,183,329/. ; in loans 187,525,806/. ; (collec tively, .487,709,135/., or per annum 121,927,283/.) ; we really take leave. to doubt the correctness of the assumption to which our Contemporary's •theory in evitably leads. At the same time we quite concur with him that to consider the total increase of the wealth, or available capital of the kingdom to be ade quately measured by the test of the quantity of stock uncancelled, concurrently with the Three per Cents. rising to par, would be a very absurd error. For, he adds : • " Foreign loans, railroads, docks, shippin g, great buildiags, and machinery fo r merchandise and manu factures' ,• all these have been drains of capital assisting to keep down the price of public" securities, but nearly all of them additions to the wealth of the country." We pass, however, to a startling specimen of the • 11,) 4. • e' d" "*. • • ,t 744 , 106 4,41 '4;;•4,,„!,.q" ! tr • 310' • j . v ":' • Z a UXIM • = LONDON, THURSDAY, APRIL 11, 1844. An important public meeting, which, it Seems, is , .. the first of a series-announced to take place in the . : . manufacturing districts of Yorkshire and Lancashire, , - was held; on Monday night, in the Music-hall, Lee in favour of a Ten Hours' Factory Bill. Dr. H ool , : , the Vicar, presided at this meeting ; and, after a fen' .j .• , -prefatory remarks oa the subject, he boldly declared 1 . 'that no consideration on earth should prevent him from hiking an active and decided part in the fierce . ; struggle now in progress between humanity, on the •- one band, and self-interest, on the other. "I should be unworthy of the post I occupy in this parish," re warked the reverend gentleman, "if I permitted any , . . feeling of reluctance on my part to oppose her MA JESTY'S Government to prevent, by being among you . • this day, my declaring that I will fi g ht with y ou in this righteous clause to the last gasp. I trust and hope • our friends in London, now that the question is put . .ti)'thern, whether they will give up the cause of party .. u'r the cause of humanity, will fling party to the dogs, • - .and still hold on in the right and good path." Most : - cordially do we echo this wish, hut at the same time we must confess that We are by no means sanguine as to - the' probability of its being realised. That the f sacred interests of human nature will prevail in the : t• long run, we have no more doubt than that Sir JAMES • '' : GRAHAM is a renegade Whig ; when an evil becomes . ....: intolerable it brings with it its QVin remedy, as a mat . einos , ter a l4 ziy ; all history pr oves t h e trut h of this asser • ri the meanwhile, there are many serious' 4,„,Cer,..( - 1 1- 40 1 " t*Ay h are now actively and insidiously being Al 4 , :!-A-1 7 .* i iiii! - ,),.y i efrA4,,, _ way of such a desirable Consummation. f-4 ,4 V" ~ . the Mouse of Commons on the question 1 G , r 414e,c 1 op rs' Bill is certainly one that cannot .;.....' 9 44 __ _ Was SUN, LONDON, THURSDAS;- MORNING APRIL 11, 1(64,4 "post hoc--ergo propter hoc"—reasoning of a thick and thin upholder of the Premier's administration of affairs in the following passage : " The Three per Cents. have risen in value 12 per cent. since Sir Robert Peel's accession to office (the Whigs had indeed reduced them three per cent. by their wretched misgovernment) ; but is there any good reason why the present price must be the maximum? Why may not the Three per Cents. rise 10 or 12 per cent. more in price in the years before us?" If the policy of Sir ROBERT has had anything to do with the vast accumulations of relieved or unem ployed capital which are now pouring into the market, not only from the treasure of our own capitalists, but from foreigners seeking investment here for their money,—Mr. MURPHY, of weather-wisdom notoriety,. has grave cause of complaint against all who dispute his private intimacy with the genii of the winds and the waters, who cram him for his almanack. "The wind bloweth where it listeth," however, despite Mr. MURPHY; and the rise of Consols has at least as little to do with the profound management of Sir ROBERT PEEL. Our Contemporary might have found a better reason for the steady, upward tendency of prices of stock for some months past, to which he directs atten tion, in the principle he neat touches upon. He says : " After all that England has suffered and toiled to maintain her public faith, there never will be a question of the inviolability of her engagements." With tVis, fact in her favour, and the impressive commentary supplied by the contrary course of cer tain continental Monarchies in Europe, and repu diating States on the other side of the Atlantic, no thing is more natural than that capital for safe in vestment should flow hitherward ; and in such plenty as proportionably to raise the price of the securities in which it has been determined to invest it. We will now endeavour to answer the question of our Contemporary, as to why the "Three per Cents. should not rise twelve per cent. more in price in the years before us ?" That is, supposing the country is really to be blessed, according to his prayer, with an indefinite prolongation of the Pszt, premiership and policy. It is evident that nothing would have sustained us through the awful crisis of the last war—that no monetary system would have sufficiently represented the wonderfully developed resources of the country, but the now deprecated paper issues of the Bank of England and our other banks of issue. The conviction, on the one hand, of the immeasurably superior amount of real wealth, and the substance of capital, in the United Kingdom over its funded and unfunded debt—on the other hand, the reliance entertained by one class of the community in Great Britain on the moral pro bity of the other—gave confidence to all in the general solvency of those sources (especially the supe rior ones) from whence the paper representatives of that capital and wealth `•ere diffused. Public credit, however subject to chimerical alarms occa sionally, was never substantially shaken, from 1797 till 1819, when PEEL'S Currency Bill shook it throughout its whole relations. If Sir ItouEwr really proposes to close up the joint-stock banks now existing, by giving to the Bank of Eng land the exclusive privilege of being a bank of issue ; if he will mate his enormous blun der of 1819 with a still snore rash and stupendous folly in 1844 ; if he have determined on crippling the gigantic energies of our commerce by continuing to contract its limbs and circumscribe their action with the golden fetters of his currency plan,; he will assuredly not remain in power as many months after Easter as our kind•hearted Contemporary speculates upon years. The intelligence from Madrid is to the 2d inst. Within the three preceding days, there had been many rumours circulating of a change in the Cabinet ; but they are strongly denied by the Ministerial jour nals, which assert that the Cabinet was never more united, or more resolved to go on with the plans it has formed for the "salvation of the country." The following titles and dignities are to be dis tributed among the Members of the Ministry : GONZALES BRAVO is to be created Marquis de la Lealtad ; CARBASCO, Marquis de Santa Olaya; Pon- TILL° to be Marquis de Casa Poen). Of the other Ministers, the Hoene Minister (the Marquis of PENA FLORIDA) has already a title; and islAzAttarno will be a Marquis, through his father. MATAM, the Mi nister of Justice, is said to be obstinately opposed to the pew titles, and w ill neither accept one for himself, nor retain office, if his colleagues persist in their views on the subject. General NARVAEz is to be created a grandee, and Duke of Ardor, the place where SEOANE'S troops went over to him ; and Gene ral RONCALI is to be rewarded for the purchase of Alicant and the surrender of Carthagena, by being created Count of the former place and Duke of the litter. it is reported that M. de BaEssou has strongly recommended the conferring of the above titles, and that LOLIS PHILIPPE has sent the cordon of the Legion of Honour to NIRVAEZ, RONCALI, REDO, and GONZALES BRAVO. The political chief, .BENAVIDES, has lately been created Commendador of the same Order, and it is reported, that if the Mare quis of PENAPLORIDA leaves the Ministry, he will enter it in his stead. CHRISTINA, it is rumoured, is strongly inclined to grant a very comprehensive amnesty, one more exten sive, indeed, than NARVAEZ approves. The QUEEN MOTHER wishes to exclude from it no one but DON CARLOS, while NARVA.EZ insists on the exclu sion of ESPARTERO and others. Her MAJESTY seems to entertain some kindly feelings towards the exiled REGENT; for a poetaster of Valencia having pre sented her with a fulsome ode of congratulation, in which he termed }SPARTERO a coward and a traitor, she expressed her great displeasure at the insult offered to his name, and declared the charges to he utterly false and unfounded. The state of affairs in Portugal may be surmised from the following document, which has appeared in the Government journals at Lisbon " To the 23a of April next all the individual guaran tees throughout the kingdom are suspended, and the Government is empowered to make arrests without legal process. During 'this term no journal, periodical, or writing, put in print. or lithographed, can be published, excepting literary and scientific journals, and the Diario of the Government. The Ministers and Secretaries have thus determined, and ordered the execution of this decree. (Signed) " THE QUEEN. " Countersigned by all the Ministers." The Miguelites are said to be taking advantage of the confusion into which public affairs have been thrown. Pamphlets have been published and circu lated advocating the restoration of MIGUEL to the Throne of Portugal. It is these writings which have probably caused the above decree, which totally an • nihilates anything like freedom of discussion. The Diario of the 30th ult., gives a statement of the expenditure in the different departments during the preceding math. Among the items of payment the following have some interest here : " Payment of the Duke of Victoria (Lord Wel lington), for the year 1843, 7 contos and 200 milrees." " Ditto of the Count of Cape , St.. Vincent (Commodore Napier), second half-year of 1843, falling doe in January, 1 conto 200 milrees." The offieial list of pensioners and public officers of 1841 specifies the particulars as to date and amount. The Duke of Wel lington had a pension of 8 contos a year, payable in island money, conferred on him by a decree of the 3d of May, 1811, in sterling 1,6201. per annum, amounting in the aggregate for the last 33'years to the sum of 53,460/. sterling. The pension of the Count Cape St. Vincent was conferred by a decree of the 23th of April, 1831, 2 contos 400 milrees, say 5401. sterling. The pension of Lord Beresford of 16 contos a year (in island money) was conferred by a decree of the 13th February, 15124, in sterling 3,2401. a year. For several years the pension of, and the pay likewise of, his Lord ship, as a general officer, of 666 milrees a month, fell into arrears, payment having been pressed for in 1840, all his claims up to January, 1841, were settled, when his Lordship received 96,000/. in bills, which were duly paid. The pay and pension again fell into arrears, which the Government are now paying off by monthly instal ments. The amount of the pension for a period of 29 years, would be about 64,8001., less of late years by the amount of the decimal tax. Easter Monday being observed as a close holiday at Paris, very few of the journals were published on that day, and these contain no domestic news of much importance. In the Courrier Francais, however, we find intelligence from Constantinople to the 20th ult., which shows that the Government of the Porte had at length listened to the advice—and, we be lieve, also threats—of the English and French Am bassadors. The answer of the Porte was given on thel9tb, and the G ov ernment promises, in the most positive manner, no longer to inflict the punishment of death on renegades. As to the religious law, no mention is made of it. The Porte also promises to treat Christians kindly. The two Ambassadors, how ever, do not consider these concession; satisfactory, and they demand, in addition, that renegades shall not be got rid of by poison or by any other under hand practices. It was added, that though capital punishment would no longer be inflicted, renegades, however, would be condemned to the galleys for life. Nearly the same account appears in the Journal de Frankfort, with the exc.!, pfion that the Porte had not announced its intention of inflicting the punishment of the galleys on renegades. Another journal of Monday states that letters had been received at Constantinople, which give frightful accounts of the excesses committed by the Albanian troops in Thessally, Macedonia, and Bul garia, against the Christians. These atrocities are caused by the fanatical hatred of Mussulmans against the Christian races. Accounts from St. Petersburgh of the 19th March, state that the EMPEROR would proceed to Vienna in the month of May, and that he had given up all thoughts of repairing to Circassia t 3 superintend the movements of the army. The Cologne Gazette pub lishes a letter from Berlin, of the 30th ult., which eontradicts the report that the treaty of extradition, in the case of deserters, had been renewed between Russia and Prussia.

POUEIGN. We learn from Belgrade that the Emperor of Russia has conferred upon the Sovereign Prince Alexander the title of Serene, and that the Ottomnn Porte has decided that in future this title shall be given to the Prince in all the diplomatic intercourse with him. The Algerie announces that, in the Bordj of Biskra, there has been found a piece of cannon of the time of Henry IL, bearing the 'date of 1549, with the cypher and crescent of Diana of Poictiers. The Duke de Montpensier, as captain of artillery, will bring it to France. It is stated in a letter from Milan, March 25, that the Archduchess Maria Louisa of Parma, has, by a decree the 20th, re-established- the Order of the Jesuits in her states, and authorised the opening of a Jesuit convent at Parma. It has also been decided that the Jesuits are to be chaiged with the duty of secondary instruction. During the last month the number of passengers be tween France and England, who embarked from and landed at Boulogne, amounted to 3,329. At Calais the number during the same period was 1,001. The 1116norial Bar&lais announces that .the camp which was proposed to be formed this summer in the Landes, under the command of the Duke de Nemonrs, will not take place, owing to the want of a sufficient. sup ply of wholesome water in that locality for the troops. The Augsburg Gazette states that letters froni 'Con stantinople, and from the frontiers of Servia, speak of revolting excesses committed by . the Albanian troops in Thessaly, Macedonia,- and Bulgaria, against the Chris tians. 'lt is said that these atrocities are caused by the fanatical hatred of those soldiers against the Christians. A !etter from St. Petersburgh, March 19, in the Augsburg Gazette, mt-ntions a rummr that the Emperor and Empress of Russia are to leave for the baths of Bohemia in the month of May. The Emperor will also proceed to Vienna. The same- letter contradicts the re port that the Emperor is about to repair in person to Circassia. A letter from Carlsruhe states, that. the fortifications of Rastadt are'proceeding actively. In three years the town will be transformed into a fortified place, and 3,300 troops are to be kept there in time of peace. _ LAW AND POLICE. _ _ At the Old Bailey a true bill has been returned against all the parties implicated in the late will forgeries, with the exception of Griffin, who has been admitted a wit ness for the Crown. In the NeW Court several petty cases were disposed of. A lengthened inquiry took place before Mr. Jardine, at Bow-street, upon a summons which had been granted to Ralph Reeve, a pauper in the Strand Union work house, charging James Bunyard, the porter of the house, with having violently assaulted him without the least provocation. The charge not being borne out by evi dence, the summons was dismissed. John Turner was charged at Marylebone, by a pretty loaking young woman, named Charlotte Thompson, with forcing himself into her house. The defendant was a discarded lover, and after gaining admittance into the dwelling, he was given into custody. Qn the way to the station-house, he bit the policeman in the hand. He was fined 20s. Mary Walsh was charged, at Union-hall, with stabbing a young man, named John Campbell, in the eye with a pair of scissors. The complainant is likely to lose the sight of one of his eyes from the serious nature of the wound he received. He was fined 51, and, in default of payment, sent to gaol. Francis Penny was charged, at the same office, with excessive brutality to a donkey, which he had borrowed to let out on hire to holiday folks on Easter Monday. The poor animal, which was at thv door of the Court, exhibited marks of the brutal usage it had experienced at the hands of its cruel master, and a sharp pointed stick was produced, covered with blood, the instrument with which it was indicted. A penalty of 40s. was imposed. , William flatter and John Thompson, two well-dressed young men, the latter wearing a watch and gold chain, and the former a valuable gold pin, who were recognised as notorious thieves, were charged, at Greenwich, with breaking into the dwelling-house of Samuel Brightley, of Cross-field-lane, Lower-road, Deptford. They were committed. A man was brought up, at Hatnmersmith, in charge, as a confirmed lunatic, whose place of settlement is un known. His delusions were all of a political charaettr. and to every question . as to his name, he answered " Henry, Lord Brougham." He was ordered to be taken to the asylum' at Harwell. • c GOUT FASSIXONADLZ. .The Duke and - Duchess of Nor:humberland and Miss Percy are expected to arrive at Northumberland House, to-day, from Aluwick Castle, for the season.

Bank Stock, without the dividend, was at 200 to 1. The Unfunded Debt was without allowance. There was an improvement again in Spanish Bonds, the Actives closing at 261 t, and the Three per Cents. at 37k to t. Mexican, after improving to 36 and 361 for Account, left off at 314 to 36. Danish Bonds were at 88 to i; French Five per Cents. at 123 f. 50c.; and Greek Bonds at 15i to 15.

There are advises to a late date from Puenos Ayres this morning, but the intelligence is merely of local interest. if our information be correct, there are sonic grounds for the belief that a modified and beneficial tariff will be passed shortly in favour of British manu factures. We arc without any colonial arrivals this tnornieg. The circular of the Messrs. Railton and Son, of Man chester, thus advises the public : At a stirring time like the present, when persons professing to act as agents or brokers, attach their names to Parliamentary contracts, it is essential for the public to I, , arn from every professional agent or broker, whether such be the case or not. At the present time, also, we would guard the public against the effect of forcing shares to a premium, which, in too many cases, is liable to mislead the unwary ; whilst the first adventurers not unfrequently secure themselves—even before an Act is obtained—against the discounts that generally follow. Au unsuspecting individual may readily be influenced to his own detriment, by a mistaken confidence in the advice he receives. The 'violence of the spirit now on foot, aided by the instrumentality of jobbers, cannot fail eventually to place deluded persons in a position they neither contemplated nor expected ; while others (who never at first intended it, being induced to sell through excessive premiums), may turn to account additionally the discounts that ensue. Thus circumstanced, persons having to do with railway property, either as buyers or sellers, require the utmost eirctunspection, while this state of things tinueS, to keep their interests in a right line. There has been a good business during the last week, parti cularly in small stock, and prices have been well sup ported ; also for Eastern Counties, Birmingham and Gloucester, and Manchester and Birmingham." The money market is is all buoyancy, anti the invest ments of a portion of the dividends, added to the. con tinued Savings Bunk purchases, leads to a rise in everything. Consols have touched 1001- a, or I to ,a t since yesterday ; the ,New Three-and-a- Half per Cents. , have risen to 1031 .and 1044 ; the Re duced Three per Cents. ex dividend, to par ; and Bank Stock, for Account, to 2031 to 2041. There is a great scarcity of Stock. The Foreign Bonds are dull. Spanish Actives at 26i to 26i; the Three per Cents. at 37 to 31; Portuguese Converted at 46 to 46i; Mexican at 351. to 36/; and Brazilian at SOi to 81. Generally, therefore, prices are rather better, although with little doing except in _Mexi can, which attracts some attention. Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. have risen to 61 and 61f, and the Five per Cent. to 100/ to 100 A. Shares generally are alittle flat, though not expected to continue so. The French lines are firmer.

Lord Monson's Lincolnshire estate wil.lbe the first large properti to be sold since the agricultural community were promised protection, and subsequently to this concession, the Three per Cents. have risen to par, so that land has had a stimulus that ought to give it a preference to funded property. "Nous verrons." [ADVERTISENIENT.]--COURT BEAUTIEB.—Much has been said and written relative to the assemblage of female beauty celebrated under this title. The portraits by Sir Peter Lely and Vandyke, in Windsor Castle, are doubtless faithful representations of those fair and suc cessful aspirants to a notoriety which endures to the present day. But how gratifying are the conclusions we are enabled to arrive at in favour of our own times ! The polished observances of modern society seem to have had their effects in subduing the bold expression of eyes akin to those that beamed upon the Restoration. While a costume ever chaste and resplendent has super. seded the stiff and formal sameness of the "olden time.* And to these important advantag( s may be added a pleasing restorative and preserver of the complexion, Gowland's Lotion, in removing every species of cu taneous impurity, and sustaining a brilliant vivacity of tint, has long been appreciated in the highest circles. An assurance of the sterling remedial qualities of this invaluable article cannot be -too firmly entertained by all who suffer from irritability and discolouration of the skin. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY.—The Royal Family were taken their customary airings in the Park this morning. Her Majesty and the Queen of the Belgians left the Castle in the afternoon for a drive. Her Majesty was attended by the Countess of Charlemont, Lady in Wait ing, and also by the two Maids of Honour. The Royal party drove into the Great Park. His Majesty the King of the Belgians, attended by a gentleman of his suite, went this afternoon to witness the steeple chase. Her Majesty and their Majesties the King and Queen of the Belgians will dine this evening with her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, at her residence, Frog more Lodge, near Windsor. The august visitors will be attended by the ladies, and gentlemen of their suite. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge arrived in town on Tuesday afternoon, from his residence at Kew. The Royal Duke visited her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, at Gloucester House. bier Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambriilge attended by Baroness Ahlefeldt und Baron Bn st bet k. honoured the Italian opera with her presence on Tuesday evening. Count Reventlow, the Danish Minister, had an inter view with the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, yesterday, at the office of the Board of Trade. Mr. Bonham transacted bthiress yesterday, at the Home-office. M. de Hummelauer had an int: rview, yeste.day, with Mr. Gladstone, at the Board of 1 rade. DUTCH MAIL. THE ITAGUE, APRIL 6.—=The Journal of Limburg con- 1 tams the following article "The whole nation will.unite its wishes with those of his Majesty, that the remotest posterity may continue to reap the benefits of the sacrifice which has just been made to save the country. ". On this. occasion we cannot help remarking the active co-operation of the city of Maestricht, in the site cea of the loan. This is the more remarkable, as since that deplorable separation of 1830, MaeAricht has been constantly declining. The isolation of this city, since the unhappy separation of the two c.Atntries, the union of which made so fine a kingdom, has caused it to suffer very severely. Yet it has not been deaf to the appeal made to it to save the eptintry. Almost everybody has colitrihuted, even persons who would not have been sublect to the income-tax. The conduct of Maestricht, on this occasion, is worthy of the highest praise, and ought not to be forgotten by the Government." " ZWOLLE,, APRIL 4.--The completion of the volun tary loan is one of the most important and happy events in the history of our times, and may be considered as the foundation of a better state of things for the future in our country." HUNTINGDON ELECTION. (FROM A' CORRESPONDENT.) HUNTINGDON, TUESDAY EVENING.—In anticipation of a vacancy, by the elevation of Sir Frederick Pollock to the Bench, the Huntingdon electors are already on the alert for some able, and independent individual to suc ceed him.. Apparently, more than tired of their long submission' to Sandwich dictation, they seem re solw,tl to make a vigorous attempt to assert their inde pendence. Several local names have been Mentioned as likely to stand, and a requisition has actually beyti got up in favour of a resident gentleman of much public and independent spirit. As there is some, doubt, however, of his consenting, Mr. J. B. Roper, formerly M.P. for the county, and Mr. James Rust, both of whom are highly esteemed by the townsmen generally, and even by those whci differ from them in pulttical opinion, have each been talked of as proper to succeed the Attorney• General in the representation of the borough. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Her Majesty's theatre re-opened on Tuesday for the post-paschal season. The opera was I Puritani, with Grisi as Elvira, Mario as Arturo, Lab'ache as Georjio, and Fornasari as Ricciardo. It was the first appearance of these favourite artistes this season ; they were received most enthusiastically. Fornasari, notwithstanding the reports w hich have been in circulation as to the unsatis factory state of his health,looked exceedirglywel and sang deliyhtfully ; we never heard him in b• tter voice. La blache, too, appears to hare completely recovered from the severe i'.dispositiou under which he was labouring during the winter. Never have we heard the magnifi cent duet, "Suona lit tromba," more magnificently given. It was, of course, rapturously encored, as was the charming polacca " Son B ergen vezzosa,"a hich wa s exquis , tely given by Grisi. Mario sang his beautiful seem in the third act with great taste and feeling, and altogether I Puritani has never been more beautifully represented than it was last evening. Carlotta Grist, who has procured an addi:ional conge, appeared in the bal let as Esmeralda,and was as graceful and sylph-like as ever. The house was crowded.

THE PARISIAN VENUS. The Parisian Venus, now on exhibition at the Cosmorama-rooms, Regent-street, is an exquisitely dissected wax model of the human body. It is the size of life, and as a work of art is peeectly unique On first entering the room the attention is attrac ed ' to what appears to be a beautiful statue, lying in a recumbent posture. The proprietor of the exhibition, who is in attendance, then removes the. integuments, and the superficial muscles, vessels, and nerves are brought into view—layer after layer is removed until the minute organisation of the inmost recesses of the human frame. is demonstrated. The. viscera and brain are removed from the body and subjected to the same process, so that by the inspection of this model a more perfect general idea of the structure of the human frame may be acquired in a few minutes than could be acquired by the study of hooks and plates during a series of years. As a work of art it is unique, while its accuracy in a scientific point of view is beyond all praise. As a proof of the esti mation in which it is held, we may mention the fact that the Lords of the Treasury have been pleased to sanction its importation free of duty as an instrument of education. M. MANSION'S WAX PAINTINGS The art of wax painting was well known to the ancients, and, as a proof of its superiority over every other species of paintings in point of durability, we may mention the fact, that *ollie the frt seas of Ra phael and Leonardo da, Vinci are falling into decay, the wax paintings on the walls of Herculaneum are still to be seen in all their primitive freshness. The art of wax painting was lost for centuries, but it was re-discovered some five or six years back by a French artist. The. frescos in the gallery of Henry 11., at Fontainbleau, have been restored in wax, and several pictures, on a large scale, have recently been placed in the church of La Madeleine. The subject has re cently attracted much attention among artists, and one of the successful competitors of the Cartoon ex hibition of last year is at present in Paris, engaged in the execution of a large wax picture, the subject of which is the Fates spinning the threw! of destiny, which will probably be exhibited during the month of June among the fresco paintings in Westminster Hall. We yesterday were delighted by a view of three specimens of wax paintings, by hi. Mansion, which are at present exhibiting at Mr. Barber's, GO, Regent Quadrant, being, we believe, the first paint• ings of the sort ever exhibited in England. They are exceedingly beautiful, possessing all the finish and brilliancy of the most exquisite water-colour drawing, with all the depth of tone of the finest oil painting. M. Mansion, who was in attendance, ex plained the process, from which it appears that colours which in oil paintings take months to dry become dry in wax . puintings in the course of a few hours ; while, instead of having to wait for months and perhaps year, for . the completion of a picture, which is the case in fresco painting, the artist can finial his picture at once if he works in wax instead of oil. At a time when the decoration of the new Houses of i'arliament occupies to so large an extent the public attention the claims of the wax painting are well worthy attentive consideration ; and we trust the Commissioners will come to no final deci sion on the subject of thoSe decorations until they have attentively and carefully investigated the claims of this new branch of art. In the meantime we would urge all artists and all lovers of art to visit this exhibition and judge for themselves. THE MILITARY ANNEAL FOR 1844.—This volume by the Author of " The Artillerist's Manual," is an nounced for immediate publication. It will doubtless be considered a great desideratum by the profession. The following extract from the prospectus will sufficiently explain the nature of the work:—" The Military An nual will comprise a continuous history of the military organisation of all countries, both ancient and modern, successively tracing the progressive improvements in arms from the earliest period, and adverting to Martial Law, the Proceedings of Courts-martial, &c. The late improvements or inventions appertaining to the three arms of the service (Artillery, Cavalry, and Infantry) will be succinctly noted, and as far as possible each sub ject will be rendered not only interesting to the corps itself, but also attractive to every soldier. A review will be taken of Military, Scientific, and Geographical Works published during the year, and a portion of the Annual will be devoted to Biography, to Memoirs, and to the relation of heroic feats of arms. An Almanac will be introduced to record those days which have been pan dered memorable by the examples of courage and dis cipline; and th e &cease of men who have distinguished themselves in the service of their country will be duly recorded. Every effort, in short, will be exerted to render this work a truly useful military compTidit , n, and a welcome adjunct to the library of every ofiscer.
