REGINALD lIASTIN GS, a Tale of the Civil War. By Eliot Warburton, author rf " Prince Rupert and the Cavaliers." 3 Vols. All who, like ourselves, followed with delight the vicissitudinous adventures of Prince Rupert, as re• cently related by Mr. Warburton, will turn with in terest to a new work from the same pen on the same subject. In the very numerous and laborious re searches necessary for the compilation of the materials required for his former work, Mr. Warburton ne cessarily became possessed of much interesting infor mation not exactly appropriate to the history then occupying his pen. The riches so obtained were, however, not suffered to lie idle, and accordingly we have, in another form, another chapter of the History of the Cavaliers. The me moirs of Reginald Hastings, which .are in an auto- biographical form, were (we are to suppose) dis covered in that state in some receptacle of " learned lumber" examined by Mr. Warburton. They are the memoirs of a Cavalier, written by himself during his exile and imprisonment. However plausible the fic tion, its falsity is soon apparent. The descriptions of the battle scenes, and soma of the other more spirited descriptions, easily betray their authorship. In such de scriptions Mr. IVarburton is inimitable. The character of Sir Bifrons, the timid but wary time-server, is depicted with a happy sarcasm, and the heroines in their several and widely dissimilar ways, are both beautifully and bk Iful ly portrayed. Independent of its interest as a story, "Reginald Hastings" has suffi cient attractions to render it worthy of perusal and commendation. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALIj'S.-YESTERDAY.

On the motion of Mr. HAYTER it was agreed that ;he House at its rising should adjourn till Monday. THE INTERMENTS BILL. Lord DUDLEY STUART wished to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secretary cf State for the Hom• Department when it was intended to proceed with the Government Interments Bill? Sir G. GREY was understood to reply that the Bill would be taken on Monday week. FACTORY BILL. Lord JOHN MANNERS asked the Right Hon. Baronet when he intended to proceed with the Factory Bill ? Sir GEORGE GREY nid he would fix the day on Monday. WINDOW DUTIES. On the motion for going into Committee of Supply, Mr. BLACKSTONE rose to move for leave to bring in a Bill to repeal so much of the Act, the 3d and 4th Victoria, c. 17, as imposes an additional duty of 10 per cent, on assessed and window taxes. He assured Ministers that he did not bring on this motion with the view of embarrassing: the Government, nor did he think his motion, if it were adopted, would at all derange the finances of the country. The House would probably remember that in 1840, in consequence of the adoption of the penny -postage system, the Chancellor of the Exchequer came down to the House and asked for an increase of these duties. The Right Hon. Gentleman who now fills the office of F►rst Lord of the Admiralty then informed the Howe that the expenditure of the year would amount to 49,432,0001., whilst the income which had been granted would only amount to 46,700,0004, leaving a deficiency of 2,732,000/. The Right Hon. Gentlemen, therefore, proposed to add 10/. per cent. to the assessed taxes and window duties, by which he expected to raise the sum of 276,0001., which sum he (Mr. Blackstone) now asked the House to remit. The Right Honourable Gentleman likewise proposed to add Si. to the Customs and Excise, which he calculated would produce 1,426,0001., and an additional 4d. per gallon on spirits, which he calculated would produce 484,000/., making in the whole 2,186,0004 The increase on the Customs duty, however, only produced 206,0001., or a half per cent., instead of 1,426,0001 The complete revision which took place in the Custotras and Excise duties, on the motion of the Right Hon. the Member for Tamvrorth, resulted in the remission of as much as 4,000,000/. from the Customs duties, and the Excise duties had been repealed to the amount of 1,340,0001. On the 16th March, when the Chancellor of the Exchequer made his financial statement, be stated the surplus of last year was 2,251,8484; but in reality he underrated the amount he ex pected to receive during the last financial year, for the income during the year amounted to 52,916,9181., whilst the expenditure was only 50,378,000/. Since the ten per cent, had been added, the assessed taxes had fallen off in almost every department to the extent, in the aggregate, of about 11,0001. per annum. Within the last five years there bad been a falling off of the taxes on carriages of more than 44,000/. per annum ; and the falling off of the taxes on two-wheeled carriages had been still greater. On the taxes on horses since 1842 there had been a loss of nearly 40,000/. per annum. He had been obliged to trouble the House with these de. tails, in order to show that almost every department in which these taxes had been imposed, had suffered a diminution, and he thought, that taking this into consi deration, that they had been imposed to fill up a de ficiency, he was fully justified in making his present motion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that during the present session it had been his duty to op pose several attempts for teking off various taxes, and in doing so had had occasion to express his regret at not being able to com pl y , b ut b e must say that, on the pre sent occasion, he did not feel many scruples at being compelled to oppose the present motion.—(Hear, hear.) He thought that few less objectionable taxes could be imposed than these, as they were imposed principally on articles of luxury. If gentlemen chose to keep a large number of servants, to have armorial bear ings, and to wear hair powder, they must be content to pay the taxes for it. He did not think that it signified much on the present occasion to inquire into the occasion of these taxes being imposed; but be thought that when the time for reduction came the assessed taxes were the last item of taxation which ought to be taken off, and he hoped that the House of Commons would concur with him in resisting the present motion. Mr. BANKES said that the Right Hon. Gentleman had expressly avoided making any allusion to the 10 per cont. on the window tax, which was not a question which belonged ,altogether to the rich. He begged leave to differ with the Right Honourable Gentleman as to the expediency of discussing the origin of this tax. If the Government were in possession of an ample sur plus it would only be performing an act of good faith to remove the additional burden which had been imposed by these taxes. If they should ever happen to be in difficulties again, and the Chancellor of the Exchequ er s h ou ld apply for an increase of this kind f or t h e would purP be considerableoima making gup a temporary defi c i ency, there reluctance evinced to acceding to hi s a pplication, if he met propositions f or t h e removal of burdens atter the emergency had passed by such uas statements as that which he h a d just made. It could not be denied that many who paid these charges were not at this moment enjoying any benefit for that 30 ,00 0 I t . h , and so amountedboa st bo to astful. 200,0001. remissions or atshkeeyd wouldfor og e y surplus of which the Ri g h t H on. Gentleman had been great satisfaction to the country at large, especially as they included a portion of the window-tax.—(Hear.) Captain PECHELL reminded the Bon. Gentleman who had just spoken that the House bad already smashed the windows by the vote which it came to a few weeks back. The repeal of the window-tax would giro enema • ragement to building operations and promote sanitary improvements, and he did not see how the Chancellor of the Exchequer could resist the abolition of this noxious burden, after the opinion of the House with respect to it had been so clearly tested.--(Hear.) The House then divided, when there appeared.... 65 For the motion ..• ••• Against it Majority ••• ••• FOREIGN POLICY. Mr. B. COCHRANE then rose to bring under the "gn policy of the consideration of the House the foreign poll l • le Government. He could not allow . one_ PP mg to opportunity of expressing to the pass without taking the House, and through the House to the country, th e _ eel . ng i of discontent with general, the universal e arded in e of very part the which this country was r g continent.— (Bear , - hear.) He could assure the Ho use t h at the universal feeling of Greece towards this country was o ne of general discontent. Greece had been ruined by t h e foreign policy of the Noble Lord. F ormer l y he had the honour cf supporting the view s o f t h e Noble Lord towards Greece. It then seemed to be the wish of th No bl e Lord to protect the people of Greece agains the tyranny of the King, but under the Noble Lord's fostering influence, the King had triumphed, and the people had been ruined, The Noble Lord's policy, in fact, had diminished their revenues for the present year by at least one-half. Turning from Greece to other countries, he could assure the House, having recently come from the continent, that it w as perfectly Painful to listen to the language and the feelings which were there expressed against this country. He, therefore, wanted to have some Ex planation of this policy which was injuring England so much in the estimation of Europe, and why Lord Minto was sent to Italy to support revolutions in Naples, in Rome, and in Tuscany? What had been the result ? Where was the influence of England ? It had none whatever. Where were the liberal institu tions ? The policy of the Noble Lord had overthrown every chance of liberal institutions and good govern ment. It was for these reasons that he (Mr. Coch. rime) had wished, in the presence of that House, to state the real facts of the case connected with the policy of the Noble Lord. He (Mr. B. Cochrane) took broad TiCW of the cue. The only ay which NAME OF RAILWAY. Week ending Aberdeen Amiens and Boulogne . ..............

Sir Henry T. Do la Beebe had an interview with Sir George Grey, at the Home-office, yesterday. Earl p-ranville has returned to town. SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY. The season was brought to a termination, last evening, with the repetition of Israel in Egypt. Although not distinguished by the introduction of much novelty, the past season has witnessed the re vival of several works which, from the length of time that had elapsed since they had been performed, or the different circumstances under which they were now presented, acquired all the freshness and interest of new productions. The season commenced in No vember last, with Hamids Solomon, one of his later works,containing several of his most magnificent double chorusses. This was followed by the customary Christ mas performances of the Messiah. The new year opened with Mendelssohn's Paul, which introduced Miss Catherine Hayes and Formes to the concerts of the society. After being twice most successfully per formed, it was repeated a third time, by the desire of Prince Albert. The first and second performances were attended by the brother of the lamented com poser, who expressed himself highly gratified with the excellent manner in which the work was given. The next revival was Hinders Saul, which had been left untouched by the society for six years. Although formerly accounted one of the composer's dullest works, and neglected accordingly, it proved, on this oc casion, under the able conductorship of Mr. Costa, to be one of the most dramatic and effective in the society's repertoire. It defiled additional interest from being performed from Handel's score, without extra accompaniments, an experiment which the committee were , induced to venture upon from the circum stance of Saul being more fully instrumented than the generality of Handel's oratorios. Saul was suc ceeded by the Creation of Haydn, which was followed by a concert which combined three works of modern composers—viz., Haydn's Third, or Imperial Mass, Mendelssohn's Lauda Sion , and Spohr's Last Judgment. The first and last of these had been laid aside fur considerable periods, and the second was performed by the society for the first time. The three works were admirably developed, and the concert was one of the most interesting of the season. After the usual Passion week performance of the Messiah, Mendelssohn's Elijah was performed three times with great sucoess, and then two performances of Israel in Egypt, the second and last of which we have above recorded. It is worthy of remark, that every pro mise held out in the prospectus put forth at the com mencement of the season has been performed, and every work specified as intended for production pro duced. The season has been unusually prosperous ; more so, indeed, than on any preceding occasion. The subscription list has been much larger than usual, and many subscribers have already entered their names for next season. The directors of Exeter Hall have, we are informed, very important plans under their consideration for improving the building as regards its capacity for sound, by raising the roof, throwing back the organ, and removing the pillars in front of the great gallery. These alterations, which it is hoped will be completed before the commence ment of next season, will have a most beneficial effect upon future performances. VERY AUTHENTIC INTELLIGENCE. TO THE EDITOE OF THE MORNING POST. Sir,—l beg to draw your attention to the following circumstance : In the Journal des _Debuts, of the 22d of May, there is an article headed, They write us from Lon don on the 20th of May," pretending to give the answer by Lord Palmerston to the Russian note of the 19th and 20th of February, which answer, ac cording to this communication, is "painfully modest." Now, the Times gives, about the same time (a day before or after, which you will find if you refer to dates), the very same article, pretending to have re ceived the information from Paris. Nothing can in dicate more plainly that the same agency is at work in Paris and here—in the Journal des Debats and the Times—to perplex matters and to throw odium upon Lord Palmerston. _ _ I think this blunder in the double communication lets the cat out of the bag, and ought to be noticed in your paper.—Your obedient servant, Friday, May 24. * * SHIPWRECKED FISHERMEN AND MARINERS' ROYAL BENEVOLENT SOCIETY. —The annual meeting of this society took place yesterday, at Willis's Rooms, the Earl of Ellen borough in the chair. The report stated that during the past year assistance had been given to 960 widows and or phans, and to 3,270 shipwrecked persons. The total number relieved since the foundation of the society amounted to 26,130. There were now 25,444 seamen subscribinz 2s. 6d. each per annum to the funds of this society, and 2,120 ships were at the present moment carrying the flag of the society. The receipts for the past year amounted to 7,1651., and the expenditure to 6,311. The report was adopted, and after a vote of thanks to the chairman the meeting separated. We should be cautious how we indulge in the feelings of a virtuous iudignstion. It is the handsome_bro ther of anger and hatred.—Eliza Cook's Journal. THE PORTSMOUTH STATCES.— The statues of the Duke of Wellington and Lord Viscount Nelson, which have been Eculpturcd in London by Mr. Milligan, for Lord Frede rick Fitzclarence, have arrived at Portsmouth. The statues are a little larger than life, standing about seven feet high. The pedestals are square, of Purbeck stone.

This very delightful volume appears without its author's name, bat rumour has assigned it to the same hand as " Reginald Hastings" and " The Crescent and the Cross." Few readers of " Evenings at Sea" will be inclined to contradict the assertion. In many of the scenes here described is easily recognised the facile power of a practised pen. These tales, which formed the pastime of some "Evenings" spent "at Sea," are various in character, but are all in their several ways very interesting. In the first story, " The Miner," there is related an incident of such fascinat ing interest, that it holds the reader for a moment in breathless attention. The last history is the most pleasing, and it "ends well." "Henry Meynell," on the contrary, has a tragic termination, which, how ever, is only a deserved retribution. Although ori ginally intended to beguile "Evenings at Sea," these tales are admirably qualified to afford delightful amusement for evenings on land, and as such we very cordially recommend them. NEW EDITION of PRESCOTT'S WORKS CONQUEST of PERU. Vol. 11. Rarely has a romance - possessed a greater power of fascination than this history. The immortal pages of the "Arabian Nights" do not depict scenes mere gorgeous and amazing, and the early campaigns of Napoleon scarcely reveal more marvellous general ship and wholesale conquests, than do these details of the former splendours of the fallen Incas of Peru, and of the daring valour of the invading soldiers of Spain. Tbe character of Pizarro is the main feature of this volume—a character which, at the same time, irresistibly attracts our admiration while it excites our abhorrence. As an instance of Pizmo's exqui site generalship, and also as a specimen of Mr. Pres cott's delightful style, we transcribe the following passage _ " On the fifth day after leaving San Miguel, Pizarro halted in one of those delicious valiies to give his troops . repose, and to make a more complete inspection of them. Their number amounted, in all, to 177, of which B 7 were cavalry. He mustered only three arquebusiers in the whole company, and a few crossbow-men, altogether not exceeding twenty. The troops were tolerably well equipped and in good condition. But the watchful eye en their commander noticed, with some uneasiness, that, net withstanding the general heartiness in the cause manifested by his followers, there were some among them whose countenances lowered with discontent, and lio, although they did not give vent to it in open mur murs, were f,r from moving with their wonted alacrity. lie was aware that, if this spirit became contagious, it would be the ruin of the enterprise, and he thought it he it to exterminate the gangrene at once, and at what ever cost, than to wait until it had infected the whole system. He came to an extraordinary resolution, " Calling his men together, he told them that' a crisis had now arrived in their affairs, which it demanded all their courage to meet. No man should think of going for ward in the expedition who could not do so with his whole heart, or who had the least misgiving as to its success. If any repented of his share in it, it was not too late to turn back. San Miguel was but poorly garrisoned, and ho should be glad to see it in greater strength. Those who chose might return to this place, and they should be entitled to the same proportion of lands and Indian vassals as the present residents. With the rest, were they few or many, who chose to take their chance with him, he should pursue the adventure to the end.' "It was certainly a remarkable proposal for a com mander who was ignorant of the areount of disaffection in his ranks, and who could not safely spare a single man from his force, already far too feeble for the un dertaking. Yet, by insisting on the wants of the little colony of San Miguel, he afforded a decent pretext for the secession of the malcontents, and swept away the barrier of shame which might have still held them in the camp. "Notwithstanding the fair opening thus afforded there were but few, nine in all, who availed themselves of the General's permission. * * * This stroke of policy in their sagacious leader was attended with the best effects. He had winnowed out the few grains of discontent which, if left to themselves, might have fermented in secret till the whole mass bait swelled into mutiny." " Pizarro, like Cortes," we read in another place, " possessed a good share of that frank and manly eloquence, which touches the heart of the soldier, more than the parade bf rhetoric or the finest flow of elocution. He was a soldier himself, and partook in all the feelings of the soldier, his joys, his hopes, and his disappointments. He was not raised by rank and education above sympathy with the humblest of his followers. Every chord in their bosoms vibrated with the same pulsations as his own, and the convic tion of this gave him a mastery over them." Among the descriptions of the magnificent treasures of Peru we find the following evidences of Peru vian ingenuity in an account of their gold and silver imitations of plants and animals. "Among the plants, the most beautiful was the Indian corn, in which the golden ear was sheathed in its bread leaves of silver, from which hung a rich tassel of threads of the same precious metal. A foun tain was also much admired, which sent up a sparkling jet of gold, while birds and animals of the same material played in the waters at its base. The delicacy of the workmanship of some of these, and the beauty and ingenuity of the design, attracted the ad miration of better judges than the rude conquerors of Peru." The treasures obtained by these conquerors were immense, the value of • the gold amounting to near three millions and a half of pounds sterling, be sides a large quantity of silver. " History," says Mr. Prescott, " affords no parallel of such a booty— and that too in the most convertible form—having fallen to the lot of a little band of military adventu rers." "It is equally worthy of remark," he very judiciously adds, " that the wealth thus suddenly ac quired, by diverting them from the slow but surer and more permanent sources of national prosperity, has in the end glided from their grasp, and left them among the poorest of the nations of Christendom." ON THE NATURE AND TREATMENT OF DISEASES OF THE ICIDNEY. By G. Owen Rees, M.D., F.R.S., Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, Assistant Physician to, and Lecturer on illateria Medica at Guy's Hospital; Principal Medical Officer to the Pentonville Prison. This work is an elaboration and an extension of Dr. Rees' valuable clinical lectures recently de livered at Guy's Hospital on that disease of the kidneys which is named " Bright's disease," from the circumstance of Dr. Bright having been the first to discover it and to point it out to the .profession. Prior to this time diseases of the kidney were generally considered as the mere consequences of other diseases, and as of minor importance. Since the discovery of Dr. Bright, however, it has been proved by him self and the followers of his school, amongst whom Dr. Owen Rees deservedly holds the foremost rank, that this disease is a primary disease, a cause and not a consequence of other diseases, and that dropsy in all its forms, and that many cases of affections of the brain, the heart, the liver, and the lungs are merely symptomatic of the existence of " Bright's disease,' and to be cured effectually must be attacked in their primary seat. The work before us puts all these things in a clear light, and is one of the most lucid expositions of me dical facts we have ever perused. Dr. Rees is also an admirable logician, and all his conclusions are sound and undeniable deductions from his pre mises. We recommend this work to the attentive study of the medical profession, as being, without exception, the best treatise on the .Morbus Brightii that has yet appeared. LIFE OF THE DuKE OF KENT. By the Rev. Erskine AVcale. The biography of the father of the Sovereign is natural invested with considerable interest—an interest enhanced by the vivid contrast presented by a comparison of the peculiar troubles and embarrass ments actually suffered by the Duke of Kent, and the position which ho would now enjoy if still living. Mr. Neale has done his best to render his work valuable. The biography is written in a simple and interesting style, and will doubtless obtain numerous admirers.
