ceive that the clause relating to the alteration of docu ments such as that she complained of made it felony, and she therefore trusted the magistrate would grant a warrant against the person of whom she com plained Mr. NORTON asked her what evidence she had that the documents she referred to had been altered as she described ? The applicant replied that Mr. C obbet, and a wit ness who was with him at the time, exam ined the document in question, and were ready to prove that it had been altered to suit the purpose of the keeper of the prison. She then adverted to the circum stance of her having attended t he assizes at Guildford last week with a view to plead her husband's cause, but that the judge declined to hear her in the capa city of counsel for him, otherwise she would have es tablished her cause. She added that if the warrant was granted her husband would he enabled to attend this court, to pursue the charge, and that a habeas would be procured for that purpose. Mr. NORTON, in reply to the application, advised Mrs, Coblat , tt, as the sessions commenced on Monday next, to go before the grand jury at the Central Cri minal Court, and make her complaint there ; and that it would save the trouble and expense of procuring a habeas for her husband's attendance at this court. The applicant said that, as she was determined not t0,16t the matter rest—her husband being a per secuted man—she should adopt the magistrate's ad vice, and not fail in presenting herself before the grand jury. She then thanked the magistrate and withdrew. JATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSU'' RANCE SOCIETY. 26, Coruhill, London. Capital L 500,000. Empowered by Act of Parliament.

A NOVEL. 0 0 " The author, we are convinced. is young, otherwise we could hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be half of his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, inspired by a high standard of morality and religion, ant by a laudable love of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan guage in which he empresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha acterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Dist aelis, Man nerses, and Smythes."—Observer. " • Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages af exceed ing beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en gaging novels which the present season has produced. Oi the cha racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have said.

DISPUTED LIFE POLICIES. " A tr!al of considerable interest to Life Assurance Offices and the public Was concluded yesterday in the Court of Exchequer. The Eagle Company held a policy for an assurance of 5391. in the Albion Company as security for an advanee, the payment of which policy was now disPUted by the Albion, on,the ground that at the time it was effected the fact of the assured party having been a man of in temperate-habits was doncealed from the - office. The chief evidence turtle! apolathe question as to the degree of intemperance that had been exhibited, and the result was, that a verdict was given against the realiting oflice, not only for the amount of the policy, but also for 401. interest from the data when it became duel The circumstance of the action being brought by one office against another presents a striking illustration of the uncertainty which may attach to all po licies unler the present system, and shows that the only mode by which absolute st&trity can be obtained by the public must lie in the general adoption by Assurance Offices of the plan of protecting them selves-in evkry ease jDy due inquiries before the grantirn • f each po licy, and of afterwards assuming the full responsibility m the com pleteness" of such inquiries by holding themselves precluded from raisins any future question. In the present case two offices are found to he diametrically opposed in their opinions as t€ what can properly - invalidate a claim. and yet the public are expected to be able to guare themselves against such contingences. Similar cases have occurred before, and even if they were more rare, they would seriously injure the progress of life assurance. The very principle upon which the tusinessis founded is the removal of uncertainty, and whenever that principle is counteracted in the slightest degree, the people who '‘vlict be the first to resort to its advantages are the first to be deterred."—Times, July 11, 1850.

Now that the period of probation has actually elapsed, we can afford to exult in some measure over the circumstances which induced the Sabbatarians to force their intolerable and pre posterous scheme upon the acceptance of the Government. For the experience recently derived from this experiment is altogether so condemnatory of their principles that it must for ever remain the strongest and most unanswerable argument against any future concessions to the Puritanical panegyrists of Sabbatarianism. Henceforth the dreams of that miserable minority must continue to be precluded from even the faintest hope of their realisation. Whenever the do-nothing project of the Saints may happen to be forced again before the scrutiny of journalism, before the notice of Parliament, or before the observation of our Administrators, all the opposi tion that will be required will be a reference to the evils produced throughout the country by the recent stoppage of Sunday deliveries. Nothing could have afforded a more emphatic Muse tration of the mingled absurdity and cruelty of the plan propounded by the Sabbatarians than the re marks uttered last evening in allusion to the subject by the Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench. According to the express declaration then made by that Noble and Learned Lord in the Upper House of Parliament, the interruption of all correspondence at periodical intervals of weekly recurrence, besides in juring the population in a thousand other instances, pro duced the most disastrous results by directly impeding the proper administration of justice. In testimony of this fact, Lord CAMPBELL referred to the recent ex perience of himself and his brother Judge, Mr. Jus tice WILLIAMS. He insisted, for example, upon the absolute necessity of postal communication continu e ing uninterruptedly during the periol, of the assizes, when it was frequently of the utmost conceivable importance that the law officers adjudicating upon cases should receive information respecting them prior to their coming on for trial. He main tained, moreover, that this compulsory stop page for a period of twenty-four hours of epistolary intercourse repeatedly deprived persons of evidence such as if received in proper time might secure their exculpation, turning the scales in their favour from guilt to innocence. In order to prevent this most deplorable consequence from arising during the last assizes, it would appear that Lord CAMPBELL and Mr. Justice WILLIAms requested from the local post-office authorites a dispensation in regard to all such communications, so deep was their sense of the evils accruing to parties about to appear before them, from this most deplorable interruption. Those evils moreover, be it remembered, are not merely supposi titious. They have been felt, and that too very severely. Death, in fact, in one instance has been caused by them, and in numberless others misery of the most poignant description. Commercial men have been involved in all kinds of distressing dilemmae, and sometimes of ruinous predicaments; physicians have been prevented from alleviating the pangs of suffer ing, and sometimes of retarding the approach of dis solution ; lawyers have been deprived of the opportu nity of making good their clients' elsims, and sometimes of demonstrating their clients' innocence ; relatives have been withheld from the chance of as suaging the deathbed sorrows of the beloved—and all this to gratify the religious vanityand the sanctimonious punctilios of a few fanatical upholders of Sabbata rianism ! Assuredly, when this had continued to be the case during a series of disastrous weeks, it was time enough, in all conscience, to put a stop to a sys tem destructive to the cause of morality, and detri mental to the interests of religion. Happily, this has at length been accomplished. The reign of the Saints is at an end. Lord ASHLEY has met with a sudden discomfiture at the moment when he was felicitating himself and his associates on their victory. Mr. ROWLAND HILL has passed as abruptly from the depths of despondency to the height of exultation, supposing him ever to have been deluded by an idea that the late interference with his arrangements was permanent. Such, however, can never have been the case, even at the time when the organs of Sabbata rianism were loudest in proclaiming the triumph of superstition, even when Honourable Gentlemen were making such to-do in the House of Commons about the unanimity of 400,000 petitioners. Mr. HILL is too sagacious a man ever to have been, even for an instant, doubtful of the ultimate success of his opinions. Those opinions have now, we re joice to think, regained their old predominance; and the people will no longer have to lament that the establishment at St. Martin's-le-Grand is influenced even in the smallest particular by the scruples of the Puritans. Henceforth there will be on all Sundays a single delivery and receipt of letters and newspapers. By this regulation a multi tude of grievous ill-consequences will be ob viated, while at the same time the Sunday labour of the Post-office officials, both metropolitan and provincial, will be restricted as much as is pos sible, consistent with the social requirements of the population. Guided by the light derived from recent occurrences, we are sanguine that the Post-office department will be more than ever distinguished by its general promptitude and efficiency.

Unmitigated satisfaction will be experienced throughout the United Kingdom in consequence of Vie return to the Sunday delivery in the Post-office department which we had the gratification of an nouncing in our impression of yesterday. The re storation of this system of arrangement will be welcomed by all classes of the community not merely as a means of securing an inestimable convenience, but also, and in a particular, manner, as a guarantee against numerous and most oppressive grievances . The County Courts Extension Bill, having passed through both Houses of Parliament, and the " diffe rences" having been arranged by the submission of the Commons, may now be considered to be the law of the land. It will at least become so on the Ist of October next, on which day it will come into opera tion ; and as the long vacation, so far as the superior courts are concerned, has already commenced, so that no progress can be made in any suit until the 24th of October, there can be no reason why any creditor, or creditor's attorney, should resort to the more ex pensive and more dilatory tribunals to enforce the liquidation of demands not exceeding 501. We greatly fear, however, that the effect of the enact ments conferring a concurrent jurisdiction for all sums between 201. and 501. will be to neutralize the benefits anticipated from this just and salutary mea sure. The respectable, members of the profession, and we are happy to acknowledge that there are very many such, will undoubtedly regard the true in terests of their clients, and will not, unless for sufficient cause, resort to the superior courts, when the matter can be as fully adjudicated upon before the inferior courts. But the sharp practi tioners, those who by their disgraceful proceedings have fomented strife and brought an honourable body into discredit and disrepute, will consider nothing beyond the amount of emolument they can obtain for themselves, and will only desire to swell the bills of costs to the greatest possible amount. Although such persons are numerically inferior to their more worthy brethren, they more than compensate for the paucity of their numbers by a mischievous activity. The higher class, although they do not reject such business, when requested by friends or connexions to undertake it, are by no means anxious for such prac tice. They strongly recommend their adjustment out of court, and will rather advise their clients to show indulgence to debtors, or even to sacrifice a portion of their demands, rather than proceed to im • mediate extremities. It is only when all prospect of an amicable arrangement is out of the question that they at length institute proceedings, and the de fendants will only have themselves to blame if they are put to costs by unfairly resisting just demands. This laudable conduct, reflecting the highest honour on these gentlemen, is but too often not duly appreciated by clients. The latter frequently sacri• flee their own interests by placing matters in impro per hands, to which they would be sorry to confide any subject of real importance. There is, unfortu nately, a passion for litigation abroad, a desire to have debtors against whom there may be some feeling of irritation in their power, and thus it is that the parties who s h ow no mercy , w h o di sregard the ordi hfeesfsoiroen a I institutingetiq uette of p ,to who,the dein nreanrdyaupeetrov'c'ereidtiinnggs fact, let slip no opportunity to worry and annoy the debtor, although the creditor may thereby lose his entire debt, are resorted to, and obtain a large proportion of the transactions for the recovery of small demands. We are convinced, therefore, that a new Bill must be brought forward neer, ye* for the amendment of the recent Act ; and, as there ire many defects in the law formerly and still in operation, it is most desirable that the entir. code should be fully and maturely considered during the recess, when our Lagislators are free from the tur moil of Parliamentary bustoess, and can apply their minds without disturbance, and concentrate their thoughts upon the subject, so as to render it as per fect as it can possibly be made. A case reported in The Sun of Monday evening affords a strong illustration of a serious evil now in operation, which requires an immediate remedy. Shortly before the rising of the Insolvent Court on Saturday evening, an application was made to the presiding Judge (Mr. Commissioner Law) to order the discharge of a person named JOHN BROWN, who had been committed to Whitecross-street Prison, on the preceding Thursday, by the Judge of the Whitechapel County Court, fur non payment of a debt which he had been ordered to liquidate by instalments, although after the judgment had been pronounced, and before any order for committal, he had received final protection from the Insolvent Court against all his debts, in cluding the one in question, of which he had ap prised the County Court Judge when summoned for not continuing to pay the instalments; after some discussion, the Learned Commissioner intimated that " the warrant of discharge should issue when he had a copy of the warrant of commitment and a copy of his order in the former case." A second collision has thus taken place between the authorities of the Insolvent Court and the County Courts. Such cases are ever to be deprecated, and although we entertain no doubt whatsoever that Commissioner LAW is fully justified in the decision at which he has arrived, and that he could have come to no other conclusion without sacrificing the dignity of the Court of which he is so efficient a member, much confusion may arise and serious annoyance be fore the matter is finally settled. Our facetious contemporary Punch some time since depicted the miseries of a " Shuttlecock Paup er ;" o f an un h appy Casual," was whoseba ndied place of se t t l ement was disputed, :nd who died about from workhouse to work house, and parish to parish, until the point should be finally decided— " nut right boys, or wrong, Young or old, weak or strong, I'm may a Casual, pass me along." Poor JOHN BROWN'S may be even a more wretched fate ; he may be a "Shuttlecock Debtor," spending his time in pleasing alternations between his home and the debtors' prison, and prevented from obtaining employment to support his family. One day corn .mitted from the County Courts for non-payment of a debt against which he is nominally "protected" by the order of the Insolvent Court; again discharged after a few days' imprisonment; again arrested and again discharged; and, so on, until the question has been finally set at rest. We cannot suppose that any such monstrous power should be conferred upon the Judges of the County Courts as to supersede the decision of competent tribunals, and to disre gard the adjudication of the Insolvent or Bankrupt Courts in a manner that the superior courts of common law would not venture to emulate. Why, we ask, should there be one law for the rich and another for poor persons owing less than 20/. ? The judgment of the Insolvent Court relieves the insolvent from every denear.d, and th,:;i:cfurtli his person and personal property is freed from aggression, at least until a re-hearing be obtained before the same tribu nal by which he was discharged. In order to obtain this boon, he is obliged to surrender all his property, real end personal, is possession or expectancy, a few excepted articles only being saved which the humanity .of the law allowed to prevent his total destitution, his being cast liter ally mked on the world. Why should the County Courts be permitted to interfere with this first and salutary law? Why subject the parties to new in carceration, after they had been declared by compe tent authority entitled to their freedom ? By the rules of practice approved of by the Lord Chief Baron, and four of his judicial brethren, the dis charge of a defendant " under any statute relating to bankrupts, or any Act for the relief of insolvent debtors," is set forth as a valid defence to any new demand in the County Courts. Why should it not also stay proceedings on any judgments that had been previ ously obtained, and the amounts and particulars whereof were duly inserted in the defendant's schedule ? But it will not be sufficient to stop here, especially since the jurisdiction has been so greatly extended. The mode of recovery of County Court judgments should be assimilated as far as practicable to those in the Queen's Bench, Chancery, or Exchequer. An interim protection in bankruptcy or insolvency should as fully guard the party obtaining it from annoyance by the officers of the minor as of the su perior tribunals. It has heretofore unfortunately been considered that if an order for committal had been issued before the " protection order," the latter was not available against it, the former being by a species of fiction considered as in the nature of a "contempt of court" that was not as a matter of course purged by payment of the demand. This ab surd distinction should, however, be abolished with all convenient speed, and the judgments and orders of the superior and County Courts placed on the same footing, so far as the bankruptcy or insolvency of de fendants be concerned.

Differences of a most serious nature have arisen between the PRESIDENT of the Republic and General CrIANGARtiER ; the latter is accused by. General BARAGUAY D'HILLIERi of aspiring to the Presidency and intriguing against the PRESIDENT of the Repub lic with the Assembly. General BARAGUAY D'HIL LIERS announces publicly that on the return of the PRESIDENT, General CRANGARNIER will be removed from the command of the garrison of Paris. The fact that the PRESIDENT is accompanied in his tour by the Count DE MONTALEINIRERT is much com mented on. The opinions of the PRESIDENT must have undergone a strange alteration since the day on which he wrote his cele brated letter to M.

It is said that Itinowyrz, the President of the Col lege of Princes, has completely converted the Prince of PRUSSIA to his views on the German question. The following appears in the Reforrne of Berlin, the semi-official j ourna l of the Prtn,sian Ministry : " The concurrent an d n nar.imous report given in the various journals in this city. and especially the daily-re p,ated t!tatt-rnei - its of the Litlibgrophie Corresp,ondencr, have 1111 ,: 31 (2 ,1 Oublie opinion on the pasitiim the Mini,- try, a s tncuil one 11 , i'atpc only, Mant , ?utfel, was pre-- m ing % f a , t a e t nsatuu ~joodibp a lc isu 1 4 a s r 5 1 r f i c e ) r d t h h e a these wishes he encounters the mast unconquerable ob patens from his colleagues, who agree with Radowitz, that the time for taking this step is not come. 'We will nut to-day go again into an explanation of these points of difference, but we are able, on the best information, to state that"the public rumours on the views of the Government, and particularly those re- Irving to the union, are erroneou9. In particular, the intentions ascribed to M. Manteuffel in opposition to his colleagues on the subject of the union are misconceived. el greater mistake could not be made than to suppose that the prev riling tendency of the Government is to temporising measures, or that its councils are wanting in decision; the Ministerial crisis derired from such an assumed cause has no existence. The most perfect unanimity reigns on every sut - tj ct relating to the steps nece:isary, and already prepared, for maintaining the honour of Prussia, and we must add, that all which has been said impugning the Prussian feeling of M. Iladowi!a and his political friends is in direct opposition to facts. We need hardly add that the reports connected with the above relat ing to the views of certain high personages are utterly untrue. The more conscientiously M. Manteuffel de plores the differences which on one single point exist between him and his colleagues, the more must he un doubtedly regret that interweddling and frivolous writers are flattering him as the sole guardian of Prus sian honour, and thereby endeavouring to bring the royal Government into discredit. He must ask the public to be on its guard against these injurious state reent, and to believe that in the breast of every member of the Cabinet a deep and earnest concern fur the honour and strength of Prussia is felt, and that what ever differences may exist in the bosom of the Govern ment, it will never lag behind the expectations of the national spirit." The Ne . ue Breslauer Zeitung contains the follow ing, under date Berlin, August 10 : " Baron Haynau is surprising us by the extreme can dour with which he expresses Lis opinions on Austrian affairs. After dinner, the other day, he roundly de clared, in the pressuce of the Austrian ambassador, Prokiieb, that the threats of war with Prussia, ema nating from the Cabinet of Vienna, were not serious. The sinews of war were wanting. The army was never less inclined to fight against Prussians. and the attempt to carry on such a conflict would lay Prince Schwarzen berg by his heels. To these and similar expressions Baron l'rokesch was compelled to listen, but thought well to make nu reply, doubtless finding that the com pany would credit the frankness of the old soldier more than the eloquence of the diplomatist." The Augsburg Gazette publishes the following letter from Carlsrhue of the Bth inst. : " 'rite court of Baden is at this moment distracted by the divisions of the partisans of Auattia and Prussia. Although the resolutions of the Government are taken in favour of the latter, the former has the numerical au perio, ity. The departure of the troops destined for Prussia has been suspended since the unexpected note from Vienna, not that the Austrian Government can tied any fault with the motives which induced the Baden Cabinet to conclude its late military arrangements with Prussia, but it is natural for every powerful state to hate the sword in its oan hand rather than see itin that of a rival. Should the Hereditary Grand Duke consent to transfer his right of succession to his brother, Prince Frederick, the arrangement will probably come before the Legislature f its sanction. The King of Wurtem berg visited Carlsruhss on the 6th." The Count DE CUAMDOED arrived at Wiesbaden on the 10th. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The following is Gsneral WILLISEN'S official re port of his recent affair with the Danes : " After forcing a detachment of our troops on the 7th install', in the afternoon, which had been sent on the ad vanc, near Friedrichstadt, the enemy attacked yester day the whole line of our posts on the Sorgbruck near Sorgbruck, and the pa:sigo over the river, between Stenclier-Miinle and the Bisselllake, and showed himself in faro:; in columns of all arms. Whilst ho continued himaclf principally in skirmishing with his light troops itnd cannon, with our weak patrols cf cavalry and Jagers near Sorghrucic, be *undertook a more serious attack on the t . aiterly part of our position. The 2d Jagers per t:Atte:l the enemy to aivauce dose upon them, and as soon as he commenced a more earnest [.flair the 2d Jr.- gers, having been reinforced by the 31 J ager corps, wade a combined charge upon this advancing f,rcn with the bayonet, when it hastily retired by way cf the heights of 'rangenberg, in a northerly direction upon Alin:told, and our troops halted. " The enemy appeared to have had a force of from nine to twelve battalions with him, some artillery and cavalry also, in this reconnaisance. Of this force, be tween five and six battalions appeared in action. " Near Sorgbruck the enemy lost only a few wounded men; near Stendler-Mil'ale he had ten killed and eight wounded, of whom some fell into our hands prisoners. One officer of high rank was said to have been seen fall ing by our men. The total loss of the enemy, on the whole, in the affair, has been considerable. According to some eye-witnesses, they were seen carrying about 90 wounded men away, so that the less must have been about 100 men. On our part we have to regret two men killed, and about eighteen wounded, and among the lat ter one officer, Lieutenant Grund, of the 10th battalion, but slightly. " I was an eye-witness myself of this action, and was rejoiced to remark that the occurrence (Unfall) of Idstedt had rather fired tko soldiers with increased energy than otherwise. The combined attack of the 2d and 31 Jager corps is worthy of imitation, as it was equally crowned with success. hilismuch, tht4cfore, ai the enemy may have had the intention of forcing the passage of the Sorgbruck and possessing the same, such intention has thus been frustrated entirely.

CA BIS ET Coui C IL.—•-(TUIS DAY.)—The Ministers ass-mbed in Council, this morning, at eleven o'clock, at the Foreign-office.

SHERIFF'S COURT —(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL ) PETRE V. DUNCONBE, M.P. This was an inquiry i❑ an action brought by the Hon. Mrs. Petre, as executrix of the Hon. Edward Petre, against Thomas Slingsby Duncombe, M.P., to recover the sum of 10,0001. on a guarantee give❑ by the de fendant in consideration of his becoming a surety in a dee.l of annuity for the sum of 10,0001. It appeared that the defendant raised a saw of 10,0001. on an annuity deed granted in 1823 to Arthur Downes of 6161. 13s. 4d. per annum. In 1832 a statement of accounts was made out, and it then appeared that there was a large sum due, which had been augmented from time to time, until, with interest, it exceeded 10,0001, but to which sum the claim was limited under the deed. There was a clause in the deed in which defendant un dertoek to indemnify the Hon. E. Petro against all damage, &c., and the only question in the case was, whether that clause would carry interest by way of damages. Proof of payment was then put in. The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF said that the clause was only one for general damage, but he thought the words were wide enough to carry interest. The Learned Counsel for the defendant said that other parties were entitled to interest, and . Mr. Dun combs was quite anxious that interest should be paid if it could be legally, and he was happy to say there were ample funds to meet the demand. The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF considered that it was a question for the jury to assess the damages taking the interest into consideration. The jury, after hearing evidence, gave a verdict for 6,008/. 165. principal, and 3,444/. Bs. 4d. fur interest at 5 per cent. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) John Newman, a carver and gilder, was charged before Mr. Hall with committing a savage assault upon John Leader, police-constable 158 F, while in the execution of his duty, and with rescuing a prisoner from custody. The constable said, about half-past twelve o'clock this morning his attention was attracted to a mob of persons in Seven-dials, and they were creating a great disturbance. Witness quietly desired them to disperse, when a young man suddenly came behind him and kicked him upon the legs. Witness took him ieto custody, and in the struggle they both fell. While down the prisoner en deavoured to release the young man from witness's hold, and feeling he could not, he deliberately kicked witness under the left ear. The prisoner with an oath then said, " I'll lame you for life," and kicked witness violently upon the lower part of the abdomen. It made witness release his prisoner. The prisoner and his companion then made off, but witness having called loudly fur as sistance, the prisoner was pursued and captured. The prisoner denied the charge. Mr. HALL said he should mark the offence with great severity, and he ordered him to be imprisoned for one calendar in. litb, without the alternative of paying a fine. The prisoner was then locked up, imploring the Ma gistrate to fine him to any amount, but Mr. Hall re fused to alter his decision. Mr. Justice Talfourd and family, R.

The as siduity and care with which you have applied your selves to the business which required your attention, merit my cordial approbation. The Act for the better government of my Aus tralian Colonies will, I trust, improve the condition of those rising communities. It will always be grati fying to me to be able to extend the advantages of representative institutions, which form the glory and happiness of my people, to colonies inhabited by men who are capable of exercising, with benefit to themselves, the privileges of freedom. It has afforded me great satisfaction to give my assent to the Act which you have passed for the im provement of the merchant naval service of this coun try. It is, I trust, calculated to promote the welfare of every class connected with this essential branch of the national interest. Ths Act for the gradual discontinuance of interments within the limits of the metropolis, is in conformity with those enlightened views which have for their object the improvement of the public health. I shall watch with interest the progress of measures relating to this important subject. I have given my cordial assent to the Act for the extension of the elective franchise in Ireland. I look to the most beneficial consequences frcm a measure which has been framed with a view to give to my people in Ireland a fair participation in the benefits of our representative system. I have observed with the greatest interest and satisfaction the measures which have been adopted with a view to the improvement of the administration of justice in various departments, and I confidently anticipate they will be productive of much public convenience and advantage. GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, The improvement of the revenue, and the large re ductions which have been made in various branches of expenditure, have tended to give to our financial condition stability and security. I am happy to find that you have been enabled to relieve my sub jects from some of the burthens of taxation, without impairing the sufficiency of our resources to meet the charges imposed upon them. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, I am encouraged to hope that the treaty between Germany and Denmark, which has been concluded at Berlin under my mediation, may lead at no distant period to the restoration of peace in the north of Europe. No endeavour shall be wanting on my par t to secure the attainment of this great blessing. I continue to maintain the most friendly rela tions with foreign Powers, and I trust that nothing may occur to disturb the general peace. I hare every reason to be thankful for the loyalty and attachment of my people, and while I am studious to preserve and to improve our institu tions, I rely upon the goodness of Almighty God to favour my efforts, and to guide the destinies of this nation. ALETHEIA; or, the Doom of Mythology. With other Poems. By William Charles Kent. Long man and Co. " The principal poem occupies about half the volume. It may be described as essentially classical in its design, its structure, and its composition. It overflows with learning, reminding us, in this respect, of Keats, to whom Mr. Kent bears some resemblance in other qualities yet more commendable; he is a poet in feeling, his thoughts are full of poetry, and his verses are singularly correct and harmonious. We have not, for many a day, met with so promisirg an aspirant for the fame of the poet as Mr. Kent."—Critic. "The inspiration caught from the poet's theme, and impressed on every stanza, rivets our attention the mo ment the volume is opened, and no change comes over the spirit of our dream till it is reluctantly closed. Images of the most perfect beauty, thoughts of the tenderest na ture, pictures of the mellowest tint, are ever before us, charming us alike by originality of conception and the greatept facility of execution; while a complete mastery of mythological lore comes in aid of the poet's skill to weave the whole into harmonious unity."—New Monthly Magazine. '"fhe forms of ideal beauty which the mythology of ancient Greece and Rome has bs . queathed to the world are, indeed, undying; they live for ever in the Divine eloquence of classic verse, and will probably for all time remain a chief aource of inspiration to the poet and the painter; nor is there anything in the purer faith which has overthrown the altars of Paganism to forbid the en joyment of such visions. From this well Mr. Kent has drawn deeply and profitably; his poems abound in pas sages not unworthy of the Augustan age, and his hymn of praise to Minerva and Apollo would not have dis graced the poet of the Sabine villa."—Morning Post.
