LITERAT'L _ N 1; GASTO DE _ollX. 3 Vols. .Mortimer, Londbiz 1844. Most readers of history are:Aquainted with the .., range career of Gaston do Poix, Duke tie Nemours, and nephew of Louis the Twelfth of France. At the early age of twenty-two, this extraordinary.young man made a successful stand against v:cli); of the ablest commanders of his day, ovnrau all Lombardy, of which he was appointed Viceroy, and closed his triumphs by the de c i s i ve v i c t ory of Ilavritta, one of the most fiercely contested battles of ancient or mo dern times, where he received his death-wound. Gaston de Foix seems, like Napoleon, to have been a. born genius for war; prudence, enterprise, and skin were combined in him in nearly equal proportions; and had he not been cut short in the very dawn, as it were, of his greatness, there is little doubt that ho would have achieved a renown in arms Second to that of no warrior in molern - hist , :xy. His character is delineated whir very re spectable accuracy . in the volume, _ 1-,efor e u 3,,, of which he is the her o , and the piliAcipll inci dents in his public career appear to be detailed pretty nearly as they occurred, with but little help from the fancy; while, by way of relief to the uni formity of a mere military chronicle, the antbor has represented Gaston de Foix .as desperately enamoured of a high-born Venetian girl, M.ariana, daughter of the C oun t A vogaro , who has been taken in arms against th e au th or i ty o f F rance, an d is con. demned to die th e d ea th o f a t ra it or on a public scaffold. The scenes wherein Gaston vainly endea vours to persuade Mariana to accept his hand, assuring her that by so doing she will save her father's life, are witten in a "very impassioned spirit, and con stitute by far the most effective portions of the story. The closing sketch of the battle of Revenna is some what wire -drawn, and deficient in the nerve and animation that should characterise such a description. OIL FROM NEW ZEALAND.--Yesterday sifternoort the brig Victoria, Captain Sinclair, arrived in the St. Katha-- rine's Dock, from New Zealand, with a cargo of oil, turpef2.- tine,&c. Stte sailed from New Zealand on the 13th December. REVOLTING CHARGE.—At the Bristol Quarter Ses sions on Tuesday, the Rev. Henry - ileathcote, who was de scribed in the' calendar as forty years of age,' and whO is a clergyman of the Church of England, a married man with two sons, was placed .at the bar charged with a series of offences of the most disgusting character. It is utterly int.. possible to give 'the evidence, which • disclosed a state of' moral depravity on the part of the prisoner scarcely possible to.exist with sanity of intellect. As respects the first indict ment, the jury acquitted the prisoner of all the serious counts, and found him guilty of only the common assault; on the second indictment they found him not guilty of the intent, but gull*, of the solicitation, and of the common assault. The other indictment was withdrawn. The Recorder then. on the first indictment, sentenced him to pay a fine of twenty shillings ; for the offence in the second, of solicitation, &c., twelve months' imprisonment in the common gaol of the city ; and for the common assault in that indictment to pay a further fine of twenty shillings.—Baik Herald. FUNERAL OF THE LATi.: LORD ABINGER.—This mournful ceremony took place on Sunday morning last, at the small village of Abinger, about four miles from Dorking, in Surrey. The remains of the late noble Lord were removed from Bury to London on Tuesday, by a special train on the Eastern Counties Railway, °and subsequently conveyed to Abinger Hall, where the body lay in state on Saturday last, in one of the drawing-rooms of the mansion. At nine o'clock on Sunday morning the melancholy cavalcade, with all the trappings of funeral pomp, preceded by about thirty of the Noble Lord's tenantry, attired in deep mourning, left the Hall and proceeded to the church. On arriving at the church, which was hung with black cloth, the procession was met by the Curate of Abinger (in the absence of the Rev. Mr. Daw son, the Rector), who read the service in a very impressive manner. This portion of the ceremony concluded, the coffin, was re-conveyed to the churchyard, in one corner of which the family vault is situate, Lady Scarlett, the deceased Baron's first wife, hating been interred there in the year 1829. The body was here lowered into the grave in the usual manner, and the customary prayers having been read over it, the mournful procession returned to Abinger Hall. LEAMINGTON, APRIL 15.—Duritur the Parliatnen tary recess there has been a large accession of visitors at this watering=place, and the fineness of the weather has much contributed to the gay appearance of its promenades and other places of public resort. In the list of arrivals are the Duchess of Cleveland and Lady Augusta Paulett, Viscount .and Viscountess Newry, Lord Howard, Lord Macdonald; Lady Grace Gore, Sir'George and. Lady Cockburn, Sir David ;e and Lady Gould, Sir Seymour Blane, Bart., Colonel Carmichael, Mr. and Mrs. Spottiswoode and family, Mrs. General Bowen, Mr. and Mrs. Dalrymple, &c. The recent acceleration of the Birmingham mail trains has proved a source of great advan tage here in the early delivery of letters, and the benefit of a day mail to and from London is generally acknowledged by all classes as highly serviceable to their interests. AIMACICS.—There was a meeting of the lady patronesses yesterday morning at Willis's, when it was arranged that there not being any appointments for Thursday beyond the opera, that the opening ball should be appointed for that night, instead of the 24th inst., as originally content - plated. It being the day on which the Queen holds her seem', Drawing-room, and there not being any full-dress assembly as usual announced by our leaders of fashion, the applica tions for the first subscription are likely to be exceedingly numerous. Tolbecque will be unavoidably detained in Paris until the ensuing week, so Collinet will, en attendant, direct the orchestra. • BRIGHTON, MONDAY, APRIL 15.—Lord and Lady Granville, who have been staying at the Duke of Devonshire % house in Kemp-town all the winter, took their departure this morning for London. Baroness Bray also left Brighton this morning for London, after a stay of several months. Lady Louisa and Miss Georgiana Lygon, Lord Calthorpe, Lady Burnett, Lady Gamier, and Lord Win. Graham are among our latest arrivals. The unexpected arrival of a company of the Scots Fusilier Guards on Saturday afternoon, and their being immediately placed on Palace duty, led us to believe that we were to be honoured by a visit from some of the Royal Family. The rumoured meeting of her Majesty and the King of the French at the Pavilion was spoken of; but on inquiry we ascertained that the Inniskilling Dragoons, who were to have relieved the 7th Hussars, have been de tained at Sunderland, where a disturbahce was expected in the collieries, and that the Guards had merely arrived to do duty till quiet is restored in the north. Two troops of the 7th Hussars marched from Brighton this morning en route to Cotentry. The remainder of the regiment will fellow on Wednesday. The General Steam Navigation Company's packet, the Menia, Captain Goodburn, arrived this morning in Shoreham Harbour from Dieppe, with about fifty pas sengers, most of whom took their departure by railway, im mediately after their arrival, for London. CORONER'S INQUEST.—Mr. Higgs held an inquest on Monday evening, at the Rose and Crown, Knightsbridge, on view of the body of Margaret Orger, aged sixty-eight. William Woddock, boatman in the employ of the Royal Hu mane Society, stated that about six o'clock, last Saturday evening, while he was dragging the Serpertine river for the body of a young lady who was suspected to have drowned, herself there, he found the body of the deceased on the south side of the river, about two hundred yards from the bridge. Witness conveyed the body to the receiving-house, where every means were used to restore animation, but without suc cess ; deceased had evidently been in the water a long time. Mary Elizabeth Phillips, an inmate of St. James's Work house, Poland-street, said that deceased was a widow, and had latterly been an inmate of the workhouse with witpess, arid in the same ward. Deceased had leave to go out last Saturday for the day, and left the house at one o'clock in the afternoon.• For some time past she had been suffering under great depression of spirits. She was never seen after leaving the workhouse on Saturday, and no one knew what had be come of her, until her body was found in the Serpentine. She had been in the workhouse two years, and was much re spected there by the master and matron. John Brodie, de ceased's son-in-law, said that deceased had been dreadfully affected, about two years ago, by losing the society of her daughter, who went to America. She always said she was well treated in the workhouse. On e o f the 'deceased's sons had also been absent in America during the last three years, and had never written to deceased, and that also preyed upon her mind. Deceased had been very infirm for some years past. Verdict—" Temporary insanity."

They are equally speedy and certain in rheumatism, either chronic or acute, lumbago, sciatica. pains in the head or face, and indeed for every rheumatic or gouty affbction ; in fact, such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safe t y of this medicine, that it has asto: nished all who have taken it, and there is not a city, town, or vil lage in the kingdom, but contains many grateful evidences of its benign influence.

OXPORD, APRIL 15.—This morning Richard Elliott was brought up for further examination at Oxford Castle, before R. Marsham, Esq , D.C.L., and Captain Shephard. As on fo mer occasions, Mr. Ballantine, a barrister, and Mr. Ro binson, an Old Bailey solicitor, appeared on behalf of the prisoner. The first witness examined was Thomas Lucas, the City Marshal, who took Elliot into custody. He found him in bed at the Crown Inn, Benson, and searched his clothes and the room. He had 19/. in gold and 18s. 2d. in silver and copper in his pockets. He told Lucas he was going to Box, near Bath, and upon Lucas insisting upon his going back with him to Oxford, he said it would be awkward for him, as he had to meet persons at Eton and Windsor next morning. Lucas brought him in custody to Oxford. Mr. Burgess, of the King's Arms Inn, Sandford, proved the finding of a blue bag, with a box, with a stone and sand in, between Nuneham and Sandford soon after the Defiance coach passed on the day of the robbery. Mr. Martin Mountjoy, groom of the chambers to the Earl of Chesterfield, was a passenger at the back of the coach with Elliott, who got up at Ktights bridge, and saw him get down and go into the inn at Ben son; afterwards saw a passenger who had been sitting on the box seat get on the side the coachman sits, while the coach man was down, and take a blue bag- out of the boot, and reach across with it, but from the position witness was in could not tell whether he gave the bag to any one or dropped it in the boot again. When the coach left Benson a few minutes afterwards, Elliott was standing in a position be hind it. This was the whole of the remainder of the evi dence, and the Magistrates, after hearing Mr. Ballantine for the prisoner, committed him for trial at the next assizes , or to find bail, himself in 500/., and two sureties in 250/. each. Mr. Ballantine complained that the bail was exorbitant, and intimated that the prisoner would appeal to one of the judges. DREADFUL CALAMITY IN THE BALEARIC ISLES. The following dispatch from the Deputy Alcalde of Fela• nitx to the Political Chief of the Balearic Isles, gives an ac count of a frightful accident which occurred there on the 31st ult., by which many hundred persons were killed or wounded:— " Constitutional Corporation of Felanitx.—This afternoon, at six o'clock, a dreadful catastrophe occurred in this town. On account se the procession which takes place every year on the evening of this day, an immense crowd of spec tators had assembled at the place called the Old Cemetery (Cinienterio Viejo), opposite the door of the church of Santa Rosa, in order to hear one of the twelve sermons that are preached near the churchyard. During the preaching the wall that peparates the old cemetery from the Calle Mayor fell down upon the assembly who were congregated in the street, the whole (more than 300 according to calculation) remained buried under the wall and the adjacent earth. In union with the most influential persons of this town, I am taking the necessary measures. The Alcalde Don Francisco Bennasser and six of the members of the corporation (who were only installed to-day) have been buried. " The Deputy Alcalde JUAN CALDENTE. " Felanitx, March 31." Further particulars of this accident are contained in the Following letter from the same place " Felanitx, April 1. " My dear Friend,—This accident has been more horrible than we at first believed-414 persons killed, 72 wounded, 92 contused, and 27 with fractures ; this is the result of this dreadful catastrophe, over which the inhabitants of this town are now shedding tears of blood. What we have witnessed yesterday afternoon and 'during the last night seems to us a dream. The Political Chief arrived at six o'clock. I can give you no further particulars." DUELLING-THE NAVY. The following order is in the new Admiralty instructions, 'm reference to this matter : " 1. Every officer serving on board any ship or vessel of her Majesty's fleet, is hereby .positively ordered neither to send nor accept a challenge to fight a duel with any other person of the fleet. _ _ _ " 2. Every officer of the fleet, on becoming privy to any intention of other officers to fight a duel, or having reason to believe that such is likely to occur, owing to circumstances that have come under his observation or knowledge, is hereby ordered to take every measure within his power to prevent such duel, having recourse, if necessary, to the cap tain or commanding officer. _ _ _ "3. Every officer of the fleet is hereby ordered, in no manner or degree to evince dissatisfaction with, or to up braid another officer for refusing or not sending a challenge, and all officers are strictly enjoined neither to reject, not advise the rejection of, a reasonable proposition for the honourable adjustment of differences that may have un happily occurred. "4. Any officer of the fleet who may be called on to act as second or friend to an officer intending to fight a duel, is to consider it to be his imperative duty, and he is hereby ordered strenuously to exert himself to effect an adjustment between the adverse parties, on terms consistent with the honour of each, and should he fail, owing to the determina tion of the offended parties not to accept honourable terms of accommodation, he must refer to the second paragraph of thii order. "As obedience to orders is the essential and governing principle of the naval service, those officers may rest assured of the support and approbation of the Admiralty, who, having had the misfortune of giving offence to, or having injured or insulted others, shall frankly explain, apologise, or offer redress for the same, or who, having had the misfortune of receiving offence, injury, or insult from another, shall cor dially accept frank explanation, apology, or redress for the same, or who, if such explanation, apology, or redress are refused to be made or accepted, shall submit the matter to be dealt with by the captain:or commanding officer of the ship, or fleet; and every officer who shall act as hereinbefore directed, and consequently refuse to accept a challenge, will be deemed to have acted honourably, and to have evinced a requisite obedience not only to this order, but also to the pleasure of the Queen." The letters and dispatches of the immortal Nelson are at length about to be collected and published, in a form corresponding with Colonel Gurwood's celebrated work, " The Wellington Dispatches." The task has been undertaken by a gentleman, Sir Harris Nicolas, whose previous publications are strong evidence of his fitness ; indeed, we should have some difficulty in fixing upon one better calculated, from talents and industry, to accomplish the object ; and we therefore appeal to all who are in possession of letters and other documents, to come forward and assist Sir Harris in the completion of a work of such vast national importance. —Naval and Military Gazette. THE WILFULNESS or Womax.—A most clever and original picture of society has just been exhibited in the novel published under the title of " The Wilful ness of Woman," from the pen of the accomplished authoress of "The History of a Flirt" and "The Ma noeuvring Mother," which for distinct portraiture of characters belonging to the higher circles of the present day, and deep and genuine interest, has claims upon the attention of the novel reader that have not been put forth in works of this nature fur some years past. The prin cipal object of the writer has been to pourtray the woman of high spirit and extraordinary endowments suffering under the evil influence of an undisciplined mind, and in a story of unusual power and unaff(-cted pathos, she is made the victim of that self-will by which so many admirable natures are led . astray, till by the natural coarse of events she is forced into a more just appreciation of what is most conducive to her own hap piness. The characters of the erring Harriet Tre lawney, the wayward Sidney Monteith, the gruff Dr. Meadows, and the hospitable and 10 , e - sick Lady of Castle Donald, are undoubted originals ; and the frame work in which they and other striking grOups are brought before the public is worthy o f the genius those able portraits so conspicuously display.

The following resolutions weirs carried unanimously ;—" That the Bill now before Par. 'lenient to amenli the law as relates to Masters and Ser vants, was unjust in principle, and wholly subversive of that which had so long been England's boast—Trial by jury," And " That this meeting deem ten hours' daily labour quite sufficient for adult males, and can but feel that any attempt to inflict more on weak women and little children is subver sive of the best principles of humanity, alike unprincipled and unjust, a sacrifice of domestic duty and domestic comfort to the shrine of Moloch. We, therefore, call upon the House of Commons to adopt the ten hours' clause in any Factory Bill they may pass." LATE DELIVERY OF LETTERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

ACCIDENT, TO WAKEFIELD, THE Jocgny.—We are sorry to say this clever "light weight" met with a severe accident on Saturday last whilst riding . Lord Orford's Derby colt Boots in a trial at Newmarket. It appears that the .horse broke down, and Wakefield was thrown with so much violence that he sustained the dislocation of a shoulder, and bad one foot so 'much injured that it will, in all probability, be some months before he will be able to ride again.
