The annual dinner of this Society took p l ace on Friday, the 26th, at the Freemasons' Tavern, and it called together a great number of the rising spirit s o f t h e t age, and and not t office last a few of those who shed a halo o'er th e close ) century. The veteran T. Cooke fulfilled the president, with his characteristic wit and good nature er of vice-president, J. Erat, Esq. Admirabl e speeehes were made on the present state of musi c , &c by Messrs. Rooke, Rophino Lacy , J. Calkin, a n d other members of the Society. After the usual toasts, an excellent concert was furnished by th e C m. mittee. Horsley, jun., H. B. Richards, Ferrari, H. Westrop, and William Thirlwall were included in the scheme. This extraordinary boy has not appeared since the winter concerts ; and in the few months that have intervened, ho seems to have done the work of years. He possesses all the pathos and passion of the best Italian singers ; with much of the execution, and beau tiful! intonation that distinguishes Sivori from his rivals. The effect on the company was electric. The whole of the arrangements passed off in a delightful manner. FATAL ACCIDENT WHILE BATHING.-011 Sunday morning, about half-past six o'clock, Thomas Miller, a young man, aged twenty-two, residing at No. 2, Chapel-street, Hammersmith, was bathing in the Thames, near to the Crab -tree, when he was seized with cramp, and before assist ance could be rencleied he sunk. body hay net yet been found. TO CORRESPONDENTS. If the details stated by a " Constant Reader," wh o writes from North Shields, are correctly given, the inquest was i irregular from beginning to end. It is contrary to pract ice, . . . and, ve believe, also to law, to summon any bu.. holders on an inquest, and under such suspicious circum stances, it was the duty of the Coroner to order a post mortent examination.

In the Lords': a number of Bills received the royal assent, among others the Sudbury Disfranchisement Bill, Actions for Gaming Discontinuance Bill, and the Irish Marriage Bill. The Debtors and Creditors Bill was read a third time and passed. The third reading of the Unlawful Oaths (Ireland) Bill was postponed till Friday. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH moved the second read ing of the Metropolitan Buildings Regulation Bill. Lord CAMPBELL opposed the second reading, on the ground that the House had not had time to consider its provisions, and moved that it be read a second time that day three months. After some conversation ' a division took place, when there were for the second reading 31, against it 8 ; and the House adjourned. The Commons met at Twelve o'clock, when the House went into Committee on the Merchant Sea men's Bill ; all the clauses were agreed to, and the report was ordered to be brought up this day. The Criminal Justice (Middlesex) Bill was read a third time and passed. The Art-Unions Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed this day. Sir J. GRAHAM moved the second reading of the Charitable Donations and Bequests (Ireland) Bill. Mr. MORE O'FERRALL opposed the Bill, chiefly because it was the first attempt at legislative interfe rence with the Catholic religion, and he would re commend the Government to pass those clauses only which related to the charitable boards, and to leave those clauses which interfered with the Catholic reli gion to another session ; fur the Government 'had had ample time to consider the effect of the measure, while the parties interested had not had sufficient time afforded to consider what would be the effect of the Bill. The Earl of ARUNDEL said the Bill evinced a dispo - sition to conciliate the Catholics of Ireland, and he would support it. Sir R. PEEL heard with great satisfaction the re marks of the Noble Lord, and said her MAJESTY'S Government had no other object in view than to cor rect what they had understood from Catholics was a defect in the present law with respect to bequests. Mr. SHELL, Lord STANLEY, Mr. WYSE, and some other Members, addressed the House, when a division took place, and there were for the motion 71, and against it 5. The Bill was ordered to be committed on Thursday. After some routine business the House adjourned at Half-past Ten o'clock. The second reading of the Metropolitan Buildings Regulation Bill was moved in the House of Lords last night by the Duke of BuccLEucrr. In explanation of the character of this measure, his Grace observed that it provided for the proper width of streets, alleys, and courts ; for the secure building of houses, for the con struction of drains for every house, for ventilation, the height of rooms, and the spaces between the rear of houses. Moreover, it provided means for prevent ing the- erection of dwellings in the metropolis unfit for human habitation, and required that all sur veyors should pass an examination as to their qualifications for the office. The principle of this Bill is undoubtedly good, and some such scheme has long been wanted—and every succeeding year has increased the want—for the improvement of our crowded and overgrown metropolis. At least one half the diseases that occur among the lower classes in London and its suburbs, may be directly traced to defective drainage, and an inefficient supply of air. Innumerable are the courts and alleys, and even streets, to which free ventilation is an utter stranger, and in which mephitic vapours and unwholesome smells are of constant occurrence owing to the into lerable state of the drains, to which the inhabitants by long habit have become indifferent, and which no one seems to have thought it worth his while to en deavour to remedy, on the principle, we suppose, that what is everybody's business is nobody's business. In a medical report presented some few years since to Parliament, the accounts giyen of the numerous deaths originating in the two causes we have just alluded to, were really appalling; and sure we are that the evil has not diminished since then, but on the contrary has annually increased, just in proportion to the in crease of metropolitan population. A little sedulous attention might long since have removed the sources of these frightful periodical visitations, but in mat ters of this kind Government is proverbially slow to move, and seldom interferes until the matter has be • come one of pressing necessity. However, better late than never, and we are glad to find that the question of drainage and of a free ventilation of air has at length attracted the notice of the Legis lature. The secure building of houses is also a subject to which they have most justly turned their attention, for who is not aware of the scanda lously inefficient and insecure in inner in which build ings are run up now-a-days ? The timber used is often wholly unfit for any useful purpose, harbouring nests of vermin, shrinking, after it has been laid down but a few months, and leaving large gaps and apertures so as to cause a constant succession of tho rough-draughts, which however acceptable they may be in the hot summer months, are apt to be somewhat inconvenient when the atmosphere is impregnated with the fogs of November, or the keen, searching east-winds of March are blowing; the walls in many instances—indeed we almost say in the majority— are but of the thickness of a single brick ; and it not unfrequently happens that the whole crazy concern either stands in need of general repair, or comes down with a crash, before the landlord has called for his second year's rent. Yet, however inefficient for the purposes of comfort and convenience these buildings may be, they are. invariably showy and attractive to the eye ; hence they are no sooner completed than they are let, and are no sooner let than they are vacated, the unhappy tenant finding, in addition to the incom parable facilities which they afford him for catching cold by the huge yawnings in the doors and windows, arising from the shrinking of the timber—that they smoke like a brewery, and are by no means immacu late in the matter of drainage. The reason of all this is, that the houses are frequently run up by greedy speculative adventurers, ignorant of the first principles of architecture, and utterly regardless of every consideration, except that of getting an imme diate return for their outlay of capital. It is high time that this system should be checked, if not put a stop to ; and if new buildings are necessary, that such buildings should be erected under the superin tendence of competent architects, so that they may be rendered available for the purposes of human habitation. The advices from Caba, which have reached this country by the Patrick Henry—just arrived from New York—represent that fine island to be in a con dition of disorganisation and terror, such as it seems to be the fate of every possession of the Spanish Crown, in its turn, to experience. The evil genius of the home Government—which contrives to paralyse the energies, to blast the prospects, and to exhaust, in bloody factions, the resources of one of the most powerful States, by nature, in the Old World—has evidently infused itself into the counsels of its colonial administration. With NARVAEZ supreme in power at Madrid, and O'DoNrizi.i. exercising an uncontrolled autocracy at Havannah, it were strange indeed if affairs did not travel post-haste to some dreadful con summation. Often as we have had occasion to de• RAIP Pkt 01_ melancholy aspect which Spain presents, under ated domestic and internal disasters, e e accu . .7 llll that find in story of but few other States their equal or their para: l e l ; we were scarcely prepared to .1 submission to that military witness her disgracefu despotism which witheinavvs accused individuals be fore trial from the protection and cognizance of the laws, to subject them to the mockery of examination before packed courts of military inquiry ; or inter poses, after trial, with the course of civil justice; and drags its prisoners away to be butchered by the disciplined satellites of an unprincipled dictator, in defiance of all forms and rights of law. Sunk and degraded as the old Castilian character now is, in that political debasement in which an obscure military adventurer—the obsequious tool of a corrupt court, the corrupter agent himself of a foreign influence—is permitted to play the tyrant over some millions of a people whose past renown is mixed up with the proudest associations of ancient and modern story, the measure of her shame, it appears, is not yet filled up. Her wrongs, which, for many years have excited the pity of civilised mankind, will soon be overlooked in that abject endurance of her oppressions, which can permanently awaken no other feeling in the nations but that of contemptuous scorn. In the New - World, the theatre of so many of her greatest and her basest achieve ments—of her most brilliant successes and her most shameful degeneracy—she is doomed to exhibit the fallen fortunes of a once enterprising Power, which after conquering remote nations, only to plunder and enslave them, relaxed voluntarily, in the lapse of years, the iron bondage it had imposed. By the introduction of agriculture and husbandry she taught her swarthy subjects in those distant regions to lay wide and deep the only permanent bases of plenty and opulence; but she established at the same time, with haughty inconsistence, the most scrutinizing, precise, and inexorable distinctions of blood and complexion, and of social position in respect of these, that a re fined feudal physiology—so to speak—could devise. In no European-settled colonies or possessions, within or beyond the tropics, have these distinctive indica tions of blood—its purity or debasement being esti mated by the greater or less approximation to that of their white conquerors—been more sternly insisted on than in those of Spain, whether in the seas of Asia, or on the coasts and on the islands of America. In order duly to appreciate the offences now in course of perpetration by the Spanish authorities of Cuba, we must bear this in mind. The "negro" slave, in short, has always been in Cuba without any of the qualify ing advantages, as to his social position, which his ability, his earnings towards the price of his freedom, or his actual manumission had secured him, for years before the passing by our Parliament of the Emanci pation Act in 1833, in any of our own islands, and in many of the West Indian possessions of other Powers. This consideration makes the boon which our treaties with Spain were suffered, until now, to have acquired for the " Emancipados" in any Spanish colony, so much the greater—the scandalous denial so much the more bitter to the Emancipado himself, and the less to be excused or permitted by us. The accounts we publish from Cuba set forth that the Governor-General O'Doscti.r. (the intemperate successor we believe of General VALDEZ), is distin guishing his government by acts of the most flagi tious cruelty, and the most scandalous violations of existing treaties between Spain and Great Britain. " Executions are going on daily, under sentence of the Military Commission at Matanzas. About the 20th June last, eight negroes and one white man were shot there. Ten were ordered for exe cution in a few days, and among them the poet PLACIDO." (May his strains, like those of TYRLEUS of old, animate his compatriots and fellow sufferers to a signal bu holy vengeance on their bru tal enemies !) " Arrests are still numerous—princi pally of free people of colour, whose property is imme diately coqfiscated ; and a system of wholesale robbery is thus established." Numerous bodies of natives— free, coloured, and black—were getting out of the island by hundreds at a time ; and even the Spanish Intendant on the island, the Count VILLANEUVE, was too intimidated to remonstrate with O'DONNELL. O'DONNELL'S insolence had gone to the extent of " positively refusing the British Commissioners to liberate any of the Emancipados." These are negroes, captured long since by English cruisers, and who, having served out their probationary term, are en titled, under the treaty with Great Britain, to their free papers. The Governor-General, whose atro cious career bespeaks so nice a sense of morality and religion, has the effrontery to pretend, that though their probationary terms are completed, the religious and moral education of these poor blacks had been hitherto much neglected; that he shall keep them till it is sufficiently advanced to make their freedom of any use to them ! In the m antime these unfortunates are hunted up in all quarters ; compelled to work on the public rail road, and re-assigned to their former masters, or the highest bidders for money prices, and for terms of five or seven years. Not less than 5,000 of these un happy men, who may be supposed to have hailed the dawn of each succeeding day, while undergoing their legitimate probation, with a bounding hope of being so much nearer to the boon of freedom, and its new existence, and with a benediction on the great nation through whose august intervention in their favour it was on the point of being obtained ; are thus, by the treachery, the avarice, and the brutal cruelty of a Spanish Governor, thrust back into the "house of bondage," and remitted again to the chains, the ago nies, and the despair of slavery and shame! Are the recent significant words of Lord ABER DEEN, when he said of these recusant or contumacious States, that if they would not fulfil their' obligations under treaty they must be compelled to do so, to be mere sounds as of a tinkling cymbal ? Or will the long •suffering indignation of British power be at last terribly aroused, and visit with some such memorable arguments as have been heard ere now at Algiers, when treaties " on behalf of slaves" had been less wantonly broken through—the bad faith and pre sumption of a Spanish West India Governor ? Our advice would be to waste no more time in dealing with a Government so helpless, so enslaved, so NanvaEz-ridden as that of Old Spain_; but to save ourselves further trouble and expense in our costly, sincere, And ill-requited efforts to put down negro slavery, to give every facility to the free black population of Jamaica, and to offer no impediment to t t h h e o i s r e e s n v e ff n of e r ing S t. brethren in n Cuba taking h a into the case their o own hands and management. General O'DONNELL, like his friend NARVAEZ, may bluster a little more; but I what could he do to dispense with the inopportune I civilities of a hundred thousand black petitioners— robust and ready—for justice to these Emancipados, under the faith of treaties between Great Britain and Spain ? Madrid journals of the 22d inst. have been received, but with the exception of raising the state of seige at Saragossa, they bring no intelligence of the slightest interest. The Three per Cents. were done at 26 5-16 for cash, and 26 at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 20 . at 50 days, with premium. The anniversary files in celebration of the " Three Days of July," commenced at Paris on Saturday. Low masses were performed in all the churches, and a special service took place in the church of St. Paul, which is nearest to the Bastile monument. The Prefect of the Seine, M. DE RAMBUTEAU, General JACQUEMINOT, Commandant of the National Guards, and all the officers of his staff, were present at that service. At noon the posts were doubled, says the Courrier Francais, and entrusted to the command of staff officers. In the barracks of the Municipal Guard the men were ready to mount their horses, or to rush to arms. The rounds of the superior officers were unceasing, the Prefecture de Police was crowded with Municipal Guards and policemen. At Neuilly, the garrison of the Palace was tripled as early as nine in the morning. Neither the Journal des Debuts nor the Constitutionnel mentions these circumstances, and probably the precautions taken by the Govern ment against any outbreak are much exaggerated, as the Opposition journals attempt to show that all these ceremonies are sanctioned by the Government rather from fear, than from a wish to celebrate the Revolution of July. Alluding to the attend ance of the Prefect and the Commandant of the National Guards at the church of St. Paul, the National says :—" These gentlemen are the only public functionaries that have taken part in the mournful commemoration.

One at last gets tired of hypocrisy, and they who have gradually destroyed the Revolution of July have felt that it would ill become them to scatter flowers over the tombs of those whose devotedness they have rendered fruitless. The day will no doubt come when the Revolution will rise again out of its ashes. The brightest homage that the dead of July can desire, will then be the revival of the principles for which their heroic blood was shed. Until that day, a low mass said in the absence of those who have deserted the principles of the Revolution is what is most becoming. The victims of the restoration de mand no more." The journals publish accounts from Gibraltar and Cadiz. A letter in one of them, dated Cadiz, July 18, thus announces the sudden departure of the squadron under the Prince DE JorNviLLE " Yesterday a French steamer arrived in our roads, when Rear-Admiral the Prince de Joinville's squadron, which had been here since the 15th, immediately sailed, and with so much precipitation that several officers were left ashore who had been permitted to visit the environs. A steamer has remained in port, probably to await their return. The squadron has sailed eastward, and it is probably proceeding to the coast of Africa. - It is said that this sudden departure has taken - place in consequence of the news brought by the aforesaid steamer of the arrival at Tangiers of an English squadron from Malta. Some persons add that certain un pleasant discussions have arisen in the port of Tangiers be tween a French and an English ship ; but this news needs confirm at ion." On Saturday the Chamber of Peers passed the Paris and Strasburg Bill, the last of the important Bills of the session. The Journal des Debats gives the following summary of the numerous railway Bills passed by the two Chambers. - " Until the commencement of the present session, France had only a few completed railways. These were the Rouen, the Orleans, and the Alsace lines; the lines from Lyons to St. Etienne, from Alais to Beaucaire, and from Andrezieux to Roanne, and some small lines, such as those from Mont pelier to Cette, from St. Etienne to the Loire, from Paris to Versailles and to St. Germain's, from Mulhouse to Thann, &c. Besides these, the following lines were in course of construction :—From Rouen to Havre, from Orleans to Tours, from Avignon to Marseilles, from Paris to Lille and Valen ciennes, from Dijon to Chalons, from Strasburg to Hommar ting, from Orleans to Vierzon, and from Montpelier to Nismes, being in all 900 kilometres (a kilometre is equal to 1,094 English yards). The total extent of railways termi nated, and in course of construction at that time was about 2,000 kilometres. To this number the Acts passed during the present session add 147 kilometres from Lille to Calais and Dunkirk, 124 from Amiens to Boulogne (for which, with out doubt, a company will offer on the terms proposed by the Chamber), 437 from Paris to Hommarting, besides 87 for the branches to Metz and Rheims ; 450 kilometres from Paris to Dijon, and from Chalons to Lyons, with 102 kilometres from Montereau to Troyes ; 358 kilometres from Tours to Bordeaux ; 192 from Tours to Nantes ; 60 from Vierzen to Chateauroux ; 87 from Vierzen to the Allier; and 74 from Versailles to Chartres. This makes a total of 2,118 kilometres, to which is to be added the trunk railways upon which the works have been going on since the beginning of last January, at the expense of the State, or with its concurrence in conformity with the law of 1842, which raises the whole extent to 2,828 kilometres, and with the Rouen and Havre line, to 2,918 kilometres. Next year it is certain that to this extent will be added the line from the Mediterranean to the Rhine (205 kilometres) and that from Lyons' to Avignon (249 kilometres) being together 454 kilometres. The rest of the lines comprised in the Act of 1842 will be afterwards proceeded with, namely, from Nevers to Clermont, from Chateauroux to Limoges, from Chartres to Rennes, from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, and from Bordeaux to Bayonne ; being, in all, 1,320 kilo metres. The works are either about to commence, or have already commenced, on 2,821 kilometres, which, at an average expense of 300,000 francs per kilometre, will amount to an outlay of 850,000,000 f., of which about 500,000,0001. is at the expense of the State. 'With the pro bable votes of next year, the general expense of the rail roads will be 1,540,000,0001. (61,000,0001. sterling), and in seven years the whole system will be completed." THIS DAY S NEWS.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) William Egan, an elderly man, was charged with begging. Police-constable Wood, 40 E, swore he saw the prisoner begging at several houses in Burton-street and in Burton crescent, on the previous evening ; heard him ask for victuals. Mr. COMBE—Is he known ? Policeman—Yes ; he is known to the Mendicity ; they relieved him there last January. Mr. (: , 31BE (to the prisoner)—What have you to say ? Prisoner—l was in great distress and wanted food. Policeman—That is not true, for he had a very large quan tity of broken victuals with him, and one shilling and nine pence halfpenny in coppers; he had some boxes of lucifer matches with him as well. Mr. COMBE—WeII, what have you to say to this? . The prisoner, who seemed thoroughly ashamed of his at tempt at imposture, was sent to the House of Correction for seven days. QUEEN-SQUARE.---(THIS DAY.) A tall young man, attired in the garb of a labourer, named Anthony Langan, stated to be an associate of thieves and smashers, was charged with passing a counterfeit shilling at a small tobacconist's shop, kept by a young man named Lewis, in the liorseferry-road. The defendant purchased a quarter of an ounce of tobacco, on which - he tendered the.counterfeit coin, and received 11 id. in change. Shortly after he had left the shop it was dis covered to be base metal, and information of the occurrence was given to the police. William Mißingham, 95 B, an ac tive policeman in private clothes, found the prisoner yester day afternoon in a beer-shop in York-street : lie had scarcely time to look round the room when the prisoner rushed out and jumped down the stairs, and escaped by the back of the house Ile was pursued and captured on the top of a water closet, in a small unfrequented court. He was lying on his face, and on being taken he threw a small box, which was found to contain a bad shilling, Is. 6d., and some tobacco, into the soil. He offered so much resistance that three po licemen were required to convey him to the station..house. The prisoner, in answer to the charg e, mere l y said the box did not belong to him. He was remanded till Monday. UNION-HALL.-(THIS DAY.) Charles Pearson, a well-known character, was brought be fore Mr. Traill, the sitting Magistrate, charged with attempt ing to pick the pockets of several gentlemen at Stone's-end, in the Borough. Sergeant Taylor, of the M division of police, informed the Magistrate that the prisoner had only been recently com mitted to the House of Correction for six weeks, but had eon trived to escape from prison by changing his clothes. The prisoner, in answer to a question from Mr. Traill, said that he was only committed for seven days, and that he had served his time. Mr. Edwin, the chief clerk, informed the Magistrate that the prisoner ought at this moment to be in the House of Correction. Mr. TsuiLL directed the constable to take the prisoner back to Brixton, and deliver him into the custody of the Go vernor; there would now be a detainer against him, and at the expiration of his time he could be brought there again. Charles °noway was fully committed to the Central Cri minal Court, on a charge of picking the pocket of Mr. Brown at Newington-causeway. LIVERPOOL.--GUANO SALES. — O n Fri day two car goes of guano, from Ichaboe, we re offered for sale at th e room in Oldhall- street. The first cargo of 900 tons, by the Bradshaw, was divided into lots of five and ten tons each.

In the course of the bids, it was stated that the owners were quite pre pared to store this cargo, and, if they did,. it certainly would not be sold at that price.

SCGAR.—The market for British plantation is rather dull, and only about 400 hhds have found buyers, inclusive of those sold by auction. The public sales have contained 128 casks Barbadoes, 184 casks 48 barrels St. Lucia, 191 barrels St. Lucia Molasses, 12,000 bags 89 casks Mauritius Sugar, and 4,379 bags Bengal. Only part of the West India was disposed of at about former prices, viz. mid to good yellow Barbadoes at 58s to 63s Gd, and strong good grayish brown to good yellow St. Lucia at 56s to 61s, being about previous prices. The Molasses were taken in at 22s for mid quality, but subsequently dis posed of at 21s. All the Mauritius sold at 45s to 55s for low to fine brown, and low to fine yellow at 55s Gd to 665, which are, in some instances, rather below the rates obtained on Friday week, but generally about the previous value ; only about one half the Bengal found buyers at lower prices for the inferior descriptions, whilst the better sorts of Benares brought higher rates. The quantity of British Plantation landed last week at the East and West India Docks was 2,239 hhds 275 tierces 630 barrels, and there were taken for home consumption 1,566 hhds 149 tierces 430 barrels.

There have been some additional letters and papers deli vered this morning from Canada and the United States. We are glad to find that the prospects of the agriculturists in our British North American colonies are favourable, as the fol lowing extract from A Quebec journal states :—" The grain crops are, however, still short, but they have assumed a deeper green. It 'is time they should be freed from weeds. Spring wheat, which, in the earliest seasons, was sometimes in ear on the 29th June, will not be in ear for a week or a fortnight after that date. Some fall wheat grown last year on the Ohio, was sown in this vicinity on the 12th October last. It is now in ear and luxuriant. Some field rye, which happened to be among the wheat,. was in ear a fortnight ago, and is now full six feet in height. Some fields of barley are in ear, and field peas in blossom. Some of the wheat fly have been seen. It is their lavce or worm depo sited in the ears of grain that has caused the ruin of the crops, for ten or twelve years past, and been more fatal to the country than the cholera, and greedy ambitious and trading politicians. The oats and peas look well. The early sown potatoes are ready for earthing up, or the last hoeing. They have partially missed in some fields. The hay has improved. The forests are now in their greatest luxury, but the last of the flowering trees and shrubs have parted with their greatest beauty till another season. It has again rained heavily all this forenoon, but it will do no injury to the crops." A large quantity of timber had arrived at Montreal and Quebec by the freshets. In its shipment to Great Britain a great degree of activity was observable. The commercial letters from the United States differ but little from the ac counts before received. In short, there is scarcely an item in them beyond what appeared in yesterday's Sun, as ob tained by express from Liverpool. The Funds have dropped a trifle this morning, the Ota heite affair continuing to be a subject of conversation, though we do not think of alarm. The Commissioners bought 10,0001. Reduced Three per Cents. at 100. Consols for money are firm at 994. For the Account the price was dropped to 991. Exchequer Bills are a shade lower, the premium being 775. o nly. Bank Stock is now at 200, and the Reduced Three and-a-Ilalf per Cents. at 1031. It appears from an additional correspondence, made pub lic yesterday 'afternoon, that has taken place between the Committee of the South American Bondholders and the financial agents of the Mexican Government, that as yet the latter have not received remittances enough to pay the divi dend, but that when they have sufficient, the liquidation will be advertised. After so many good amounts have come over from Mexico, the Bondholders did expect that there were ample means in hand to effect the object they of course so much wish. Mexican Bonds have fallen from 361 to 35k,. Spanish Three per Cents. are heavy at 331 ; the Actives at 224 ; the Belgian Bonds at 1031 ; the Portuguese Converted at 431 ; and the Dutch Five per Cents., at 101 i. Brazilian Bonds have been quoted at 841. The Share Market has not been firm this morning. Se veral of the Railway Shares have receded a shade. London and Westminster Bank Shares are at 71 premium.

HISTORIC FANCIES. C olburn, London, 1844. The spirit that pervades this volume, the prose as well as the poetical portion of it, is of a most catholic and tolerant character ; indeed the author, in some instances, pushes his love of toleration to excess, which in the discussion of historical matters is a fault that should be as seduously guarded against as an indulgence in the antagonist quality, for truth never lies in extremes, but is always found in the mean. The work is evidently the production of a young writer, thoughtful, ardent, and well-informed, and amid much that is brilliant in expression and gene rous in sentiment, contains also much that is erro neous in opinion anti exaggerated in the portraiture of character. Thus, speaking of the f av o ur it e p o li cy of Cardinals Richelieu and Mazarin, Mr. Smythe says :—" Upon his attaining the Ministry, Richelieu found the King only the first of his nobles. He resolved to make him something more. He undertook to concen trate all the power which he saw dissipated among many great feudatories and lords. His policy was to confound and equalize all classes below the King. But not satisfied to dedicate his own life to this object, he devolved his power upon his successor, Mazarin, whom he himself had formed, who was instigated by the same motives, and who sprung, like himself, from the Democracy ; inherited, with instinctive zeal, his hatred and his views of the Aristocracy. But the sa gacious policy of the Cardinals was not destined to be continued by the great king whom they had made. He took pains in nothing so much as in rebuilding what they had pulled down, in raising up what they had so skilfully destroyed." Surely this is a very erroneous view of the policy of Louis the Fourteenth! So far was this sagacious monarch from opposing himself to the system of Richelieu and Mazarin, that he carried it out to its fullest 'extent, for while he gratified his noblesse by showy pri vileges and courtly marks of esteem, he took care to deprive them of all substantial power, and reduced them to the most abject state of dependence on his arbitrary will. It was not by destrcying, but by , rigidly following up the political system of the Car dinals, that he was enabled with perfect truth to make that memorable boast, " L'etat c'est moi !" Never, in the whole history of France, were the aristocracy with all their pompous titles and imposing wealth, such mere impotent shadows, as during the long reign of the Grande Monarque. In a clever, brilliant sketch of Mirabeau—who, however, is rated infinitely beyond his deserts—our author takes occasion to remark that Casimir Perier, the leading statesman of the year 1831, possessed " an energy and a genius only in ferior to Mirabeau's." This is high praise, but as suredly it is not warranted by facts. The French Minister was a man of fierce impatience and un bounded pride—arrogant, egotistical, and determined ; but he wanted the comprehensive views, the practical sagacity, the impassioned eloquence, and dauntless intrepidity of the great leader of the Revolution, while as regards " genius," he had not an atom of it in his composition. He was the mere mouth-piece of the Bourgeoisie—the congenial advocate of their narrow, selfish theories of legislation, and died a victim to chagrin at his inability to control a movement which Ess could not comprehend. In his biographical sketches of Couthon and St. Just, Mr. Smythe, ap parently from a desire to be thought original in his opinions, takes far too liberal a view of the character of these two Republicans. So far was the former from having anything of a " Roman of free Rome" about him, that he was wholly made up of artifice and plausibility—a twaddling, maudlin sentimen talist, who could shed tears over his lap-dog, while with a dry eye he daily consigner) scores of his countrymen to the scaffold. As for St. Just, he was a hard, merciless, pedantic dogmatist, an advocate of principles of which he had never con sidered the tendency ; cruel from want of human i .sympathies ; and "lofty"—as our author assures us he I was—only in his sublime self-conceit. That he was 4 ‘ intrepid" we will not venture to deny ; but his was not moral courage—the noble feeling that sustained Vergniaud and the other Girondists in the last memorable night of their existence—but the brute courage of the bull-dog, originating solely in the utter absence of imagination and the finer instincts of our nature. The truth is, that with a few rare ex ceptions—such as Mirabeau, Roland, Carnot, Verg niaud, and perhaps Danton—the whole of the French Revolutionary chiefs were a set of unmitigated quacks and vagabonds, who had talent enough to enable them to pull down a vicious system, but were destitute of the political sagacity requisite to con struct an enlightened one on the ruins. As, on the whole, we prefer Mr. Smythe's poetry to his prose, we shall confine ourselves to an extract from his beau tiful poem entitled "Mary Stuart's Last Prayer :" A lonely mourner kneels in prayer before the Virgin's fane, With white hands crossed for Jesu's sake, so her prayer may be vain. Wan is her cheek, and very pale—her voice is low and faint— And tears are in her eyes, the while she makes her humble plaint. O little could you deem, from her sad and lowly mein, That she was once the Bride of France, and still was Scot land's Queen. 0, Mary Mother I—Mary Mother I—be my help and stay I Be with me still, as thou hast been, and strengthen me to-day I For many a time, with heavy heart, all weary of its grief, I solace sought, in thy blest thought, and ever found relief: For thou, too, wert a Queen on earth,—and men were harsh to thee! And cruel things and rude, they said,—as they have said of me I 0, Gentlemen of Scotland ! 0, Cavaliers of France ! How each and all had grasped his sword, and seized his an gry lance, If Ladye love, or sister dear, or nearer dearer bride, Had been, like me, your friendless Li ege , i nsu lt e d an d belied ! But these are sinful thoughts, and sad,—l should not mind me now, Of faith forsworn, or broken pledge, or false or fruitless vow I But rather pray—sweet Mary—my sins may be forgiven And less severe than on the earth, my Judges prove in heaven. For stern and solemn men have said—' God's vengeance will be shown,' — And fearful will the penance be,—on the sins which I have done ! And yet, albeit my sins be great—Oh Mary, Mary dear ! Nor to Knox, nor to false Moray, the Judge will then give ear I Yes 1 it was wrong and thoughtless, when first I came from France, To lead courante, or minuet, or lighter, gayer dance. Yes—it was wrong and thoughtless, —to while whole hours away In dark and gloomy Holyrood, with some Italian lay. Dark men would scout their hate at me, and I have heard them tell, How the Just Lord God of Israel had striken Jezebel. But thou—dear Mary—Mary mine! hast ever looked the same, With pleasant mien, and smile serene, on her who bore thy - name ; Oh, grant that, when anon I go to death t I may not see Nor axe, nor block, nor headsman,—but Thee, and only Thee! Then, 'twill be told, in coming times, how Mary gave her grace To die, as Stuart, Guise, should die—of Charlemagne's fear less race. FACTS AND FICTIONS, 3 Vols. Allen, London, 1844. In these light and amusing volumes, which are the production of Mrs. Postans, we have a series of prose sketches illustrative of oriental character, scenery, and manners. The authoress writes vividly, because she writes from her own persona recollections of British India; and in one of her sketches, entitled " A Tale of the Phansigars," gives an interesting account of a young Indian girl and her attendants, in company with a party of notorious Thugs, whom she had encountered on the road, and accepted as an escort, supposing that they were a travelling company of native merchants. The denouement of this tale, though somewhat abrupt, is brought about in a very exciting manner. The " Emperor's Grave " is a sketchy description of Longwood and the tomb of Napoleon, at St. Helena; but these have been de scribed so often, and so circumstantially, that the subject is quite an exhausted one, and will not admit of repetition. JOE SMITH, THE MORMON PROPHET.—(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)—This extraordinary personage, who was shot in attempting to escape from custody, was born in the year 1806, in Manchester, New York; from an early age he attended a Dissenting chapel, and when seventeen years of age, it is said that an angel rppeared to him, telling him his sins were forgiven, and that he was chosen to translate the sacred book of Mormon, which was written in the Egyptian language on plates of gold, and had been hid for 1,423 years in a stone box, on the hill of Comorah, in the New York territory. It was not, however, until four years after that he received the plates from the angel; the translation was conducted in a most singular manner, having prevailed upon a person named Harris, who resided in Palmyra, to assist him, Smith dictated from behind a screen, while Harris transcribed. Harris having had some misgivings in conse quence of not being permitted to see the plates, withdrew from the sect after it had cost him 10,000 dollars; he was succeeded by a person named Cowdery, b y whose assistance the transration was published in 1830 : in the fall of the year his followers amounted to about eighty persons ; but in the following spring tiny numbered above 1,000, when they re moved-to Kirkland, in Ohio, where their first temple was built. In 1838 having been thr ea t ene d b y t h e myrm id ons o f i the law, n consequence of having incurred debts to a consi derable amount, they fled to Independence, Jackson County, Missouri; here they were shamefully treated by the Lynch lawyers—their houses levelled with the ground, 30 killed, and 15,000 banished by the Governor. The party then emigrated to Illinois, and in the Western wilds built the city of Nauvoo, all the inhabitants of which are Mormons. It was estimated in the beginning of 1843, that there were nearly 100,000 of the sect in the United States. The Book of Mormon has been proved to be a novel written by a person named Spaulding, since dead, transcribed by Smith, and interpolated with por tions of Scripture, the whole being intended to show that a great number of Israelites, on the dispersion of the tribes, emigrated to America, and in A. D. 420, were cut off by the Indians, with the exception of Moroni, who escaped and hid the book.
