Mr. - Justice - Patteson presided, on Thursday, at the annual dinner of the Awliscombe, Buckerel, and Feniton Agricultural Association, at Feniton, about twelve miles from Exeter, near which place the Learned Judge's country residence is situated. In reply to the toast, " Success, Long Life, and Prosperity to the President of the Day," the Hon. and Learned Gentleman said his' excellent friend, Mr. Drewe, had spoken of him in his judicial capacity in a manner in which he could not at all coincide. He had done his duty, he believed, as well as he had been able during the twenty-one years he had been a judge, and he had always endeavoured during that time to deal justly between man and man, and between the Crown and men, as far as the matters brought before him enabled him to do so.—(Cheers.) Being fond of his profession he had felt that he should be only too glad to exert himself for some years yet to come if it had pleased God to spare his life; but it had pleased Him to eftlict him with an infirmity, which had been coming on for many years, but had so increased of late that it had now arrived at such a point that there was a doubt—and a doubt was quite sufficient in such a case—whether the due ad ministration of justice, where he was called on to preside, might not be perilled. Now, they must agree with him that the due administration of justice ought not to be perilled at all, and therefore it was that, upon the advice of his friends, who were better able to judge than himself, he found the time was come when, so far as regarded the hearing of cases and the examination of witnesses, he could no longer do his duty in a perfectly satisfactory manner. He did not mean to may that he had ever been perfect in performing his duty as judge. He meant to say he could no longer do his duty in such a manner as he ought. Therefore it was that, before the next circuit came, when it would be his duty to preside in one of the courts, he had determined to tender his resignation to her Majesty—not because having served 21 years, 15 being the allotted time, he felt at liberty to retire, but because, by the advice of ',those better able to judge than himself, I* :11544. .thOirete was come when he ought no /unger continue in a situation involving the performance of most important duties, to the proper discharge of which his infirmity was a great obstacle. He had always felt that he ought not to yield to that infirmity and at once retire and take a pension from the country, but if the administration of justice was to be in any degree perilled by his remaining, however anxious and desirous be might be to remain, he should not shrink from retiring and taking that pension to which for some years he had been entitled. Under these circumstances he should not sit upon the bench after next February. The consequence would be he should spend more of his time in the country than he had hitherto. The same infirmity which drove him from the bench also prevented his rendering much service to the country. Neverless, so far as his infirmity allowed, he would render any service in any shape or way it might come before him, and he trusted in God to enable him to hit upon something to employ his time profitably to his country and to himself, and conducive to his eternal good—(Cheers.) It was not his will, but the will of the Almighty that he must retire.—(Renewed cheers.) In conclusion, the Learned Judge thanked the company for the kind manner in which they had drunk his health. A WHOLESALE MURDERESS.—BURY ST. E DMUND 'S, SATURDAY.—This town and neighbourhood have been thrown into a state of great excitement in consequence of a young person, moving in the better station of lite, who re sided with her uncle, a person of great respectability, at Crawford, near Bury, having been committed for trial for two distinct murders, the victims being her own illegitimate children. From the facts which transpired before the magis trates and coroner, it appears that the prisoner ( Maria Stuart) was suspected of having given birth to a child, and a police-constable apprehended her on a charge of concealing the birth. On her road to the station she confessed that the child was buried behind the lodge at her uncle's house. Search was made and the body of a female child discovered. On being examined by Mr. Image, a surgeon at Bury, that gentleman. gave it as his opinion, that the child had not only been born alive, but that it bad sucked. Whilst the pri soner was in the station-house she made a voluntary con fession, in which she admitted the following facts : —That she was delivered of the child on the 24th of September, that she murdered it on the following day, and kept it in her bed till the 6th inst., when she buried it at the lodge, and that she had murdered one child before. She then indicated the spot where she had disposed of the body, and where upon a search being made, its remains were found. She was fully committed by the magistrates to take her trial at the next assizes. THE RECENT ILLUMINATION AT MANCHESTER. —The consumption of gas on Friday night week by the people of Manchester in their illumination was 2,316,000 cubic feet, and the cost, at 4s. Gd. per thousand feet, more than 5201. AN ATTORNEY CONVICTED OF FELONY.--At the recent quarter-sessions for Hereford, on Saturday, Mr. John Sparrow Taylor, an attorney, was indicted for stealing two goslings, of the value of ss, at Kingston, in September last. It seems that the two birds were missed from the fleck, and they were found in the prisoner's possession—one was dead and the other alive. The prisoner denied stealing them, but said that he had a Newfoundland dog, and that the brute killed the bird. His address to the jury occupied several hours. He was found guilty, and sentenced to be imprisoned for three calendar months, with hard labour. The case ex cited great interest. DEATH OF THREE CHILDREN BY SUFFOCATION.— A melancholy occurrence took place at Copford, about four miles from Chelmsford, on Tuesday last, in the death of three children of Thomas Nice, a farm labourer, one of the number having, in the temporary absence of his mother, set fire to the straw covering of a heap of potatoes in the room, which, though it did not blaze, emitted a large quantity of smoke, and so caused their suffocation. The bodies, when viewed by the jury, were lying upon the bed in their night clothes. They were all very fine children, and bore so little the appearance of death, that they might readily have been supposed to be only asleep. DEATH FROM THE KICK OF A HORSE..--019 Satur day an inquest was held by Mr. Payne, at SL Bartholomew's Hospital, on the body of a man named Rogers, who was in the employ of Messrs. Reid, the brewers, in Liquorpond street. He was in the act of cleaning a horse, when the animal kicked out and struck him on the thigh, one of the bones of which was fractured by the violence. He was taken to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, and he ultimately Sank and expired. The jury returned a verdict of " Acci dental Death." BALLOONING EXTRAORDINARY IN PARIS.—M. Brunel, an aeronaut, made an ascension on Sunday last from the Park of Rambouillet, in a balloon of 180 cubic metres, and filled with pure hydrogen gas. From some difficulties attendant on the inflation the operation, which commenced at six o'clock in the morning, was not completed at a late hour in the afternoon. M. Brunel, finding that the gas which had entered the balloon would not give it power enough to take up the car and the usual appendages, and determined not any longer to disappoint the spectators, who had assembled in great numbers, removed the car and °laced a plank across the hoop, on which he seated himself, having first thrown off his coat and even taken the money out of pockets in order to render himself the lighter. On giving the signal to " let go" the balloon rose into the air with the rapidity of an arrow, and in a few minutes had attained an height of about 2,000 metres. The witnesses of this perilous ascension raised a cry of terror, but their anxiety was soon relieved by seeing M. Brunel descend in safety. Viscount and Viscountess Melbourne are staying at Brocket Hall, Herts. His Lordship, who has for some years suffered severely from gout, has lately improved in health. MARILIAGH IN HIGH LIFE.--On Saturday, by special licence, at Blenheim Palace, his Grace the Duke of Marlborough was married to Miss Jane Frances Clinton Stewart, youngest daughter of the Hon. Edwarda m nd ssand Lady Katherine Stewart, and niece to the Earl of woy March. How TO PAY A LAWYER.—An old lawyer of the city of New York tells a good joke about one of his clients. A fellow had been arraigned before the police for stealing a set of silver spoons. The articles were found upon the culprit, and there was no use in attempting to deny the charge. Lawyer G— was applied to by the prisoner as counsel, and seeing no escape for his client except on the plea of insanity or idiotcy, he instructed the fellow to put on as silly a look as possible, and when any question was put to him, to u tt er i n a drawling manner th e word " spoons." If successful, the fee was to be twenty dollars. The court proceeded to trial ; the charge was read, and the question put to the prisoner, Guilty or not guilty ?" "Spoons," ejaculated the culprit. The court put several questions to him, but" spoons,spoons," was all the answer that it could elicit. " The fellow is a ool," said the judge; "let him go about his business." The prisoner left the room, and the lawyer followed in his wake, and when they got intosaythineg, ha , l , l ic t o h w e , c m ou y n g se o l o l d or fe t l i l p o i l ) v e , d th h a is t client on the shoulder, twenty dollars." The rogue looked the lawyer full in the face, and putting on a grotesque and silly expression, and winking with his eyes, exclaimed " Spoons," and them made tracks. TnE OMNIBUSES.—NOW, we suppose, it will be the ‘.l 3 qople , s.turn to deal with the multitude of omnibuses called into Ation during the last six months. Short-distance prices appear to be a desideratum, as well as a return to the old threepenny half-distances and Bank fourpenny fares. These, we dare say, will satisfy the middle classes, who would daily and constantly fill the 'buses for short lifts at say 2d., while they retain even 3d. in their pockets. There is w ant ed, too, in the metropolis what Liverpool has already got—a working class omnibus at still cheaper fares, for certain dis tances even so low as a penny; though it must be admitted that if these are to traffic throughout the whole lengt h and breadth of the metrop o li s the fare for the whole distance must be higher —say 3d., half the middle-class price. The penny omnibuses at Liverpool are literally besieged by the working classes, and taken by storm, and the demand for more is about to be supplied by a new and superior kind of vehicle. It whatever way it may be managed, there is likely to be a reform in the omnibus ranks in the metropolis, and a reform is needed in the vehicle no less than in the fare.

ONE OF THE OLDEN TlME.—There is now living in the parish of North Creake, in this county, a female named Martha Johnson, who on the 21st of September last, completed her hundredth year. She was born at Cley next the sea, in 1751; her maiden name was Farnsby, the daughter of a respectable merchant of that place. This ex traordinary individual, who has been thirty years a widow, has lived to see her descendants to the fourth generation, numbering twelve children, forty-eight grandchildren, seventy-nine great-grandchildren,and four great-great-grand children, in all, 143 ! She has consequently lived during the reigns of five sovereigns, namely', George IL, George George IV., William IV., and our present Queen. She is, moreover, in the enjoyment of good health, with her facul ties unimpaired, particularly her eyesight and meraory,- 11rorfQ/4 Vironick, LONDON, CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. PLYMOUTH, SUNDAY EVENING. • Her Majesty's ship Birkenhead, Captain Salmond, came in this evening With dispatches for the Govern ment of a most important character. She left Simon's Bay Sept. 12, reached S. Vincent Oct. 4, and sailed therefrom on the 7th. The Birkenhead brings the mail due by the Sir Robert Peel, which ship was damaged on the outward passage near Sierra Leone. After landing the Admiralty dispatches the proceeded on for Portsmouth. We are informed that a serious engagement took place in the Fish River Bush on the Ist September, in which the British troops were defeated with con siderable loss; and it is said that the whole of the frontier is in a state of alarming disaffection. The 2d Royals, which had been conveyed out by the Birken head, are stated to have had four men killed and 17 wounded. We are informed that Sir Harry Smith selected the Birkenhead because of her well-known speed, and it is said that the has brought home a re quest that at least 10,000 more troops should be sent out immediately. The Birkenhead brings news twenty-one days later than that brought by the Stornaway. The Sir Robert Peel had not reached the Cape at the time of the Birkenhead leaving, and nothing was known there as to the cause of her protracted delay. The Birkenhead brings home among her passengers Lieutenant Stokes, R.E., and Mrs. Stokes, Ensign Robertson, Mr. and Mrs. Robertson, Mr. Osborn, and Mr. T. W. Cobb. The Cape Town Mail of the 12th September gives the following : " Her Majesty's steamer Birkenhead, which left East London on the 6th instant, brings a report that the Basuts chief Moshesh and his ally Molitsane had announced their intention to take part with the enemy and had sent messages to the chiefs who still remained neutral, urging them to join the war party and unite with the Eaikas and Basutos in • driving the white men ' into the sea.' It is supposed that the dispatches which the Birkenhead is to convey to England have reference in part to this important intelligence. " By the Birkenhead a report was also received of a severe action which was said to have taken place in the Fish River Bush, and in which our troops are said to have suffered a repulse with considerable loss. In the Graham's Town Journal of the 6th instant, since received, we find some more definite particulars concerning this action, which seems to have been a well-contested affair. It took place on the Ist inst., near Committee's Drift. The detachment under Lieutenant-Colonel Burne, 2d Royals, encountered a body of Stock's, Seyolo's, and Botman's Kafirs, with a number of Hottentots. Several desperate charges, it is said, were made by the men of the 2d, who, though unused to this kind of fighting, are stated to have displayed great spirit. Two men of this regi ment were killed (one sergeant and one private), and five wounded; of the Royal Sappers and Miners, one was killed and one wounded ; in the Cape Corps and Armstrong's Horse, two men were wounded. In the whole, three men were killed and eight (or according to another account twelve) wounded. The dead and wounded were sent to Fort Peddie, and the detachment returned to King Wil liam's Town. On their march the Kafirs are said to have attacked them again ; very heavy firing was heard at Fort Peddie, in the direction in which the troops had gone, but the result was not known. " On the 2d instant the Kafirs attacked some wag gons on their way to Graham's Town from below Southwell, and succeeded in carrying off five spans of oxen, worth 3001. The affair was reported to Major. General Somerset,. when pursuit was immediately made, end eighteen of the oxen recovered. " •n the Si instant the 12th Regiment arrived at Graham's Town, from Algoa Bay. " From Lyndoch intelligence has been received that most of the Tambookie servants, who had hitherto remained faithful, have joined „the enemy, and have assisted in driving off their master's cattle, horses, and sheep. Some sharp conflicts had taken place between the colonists (Messrs. Pringle, Scott, Niland, and others) and the marauders, several of whom were shot. In these actions, unfortunately, two burghers were killed, and others wounded. " The burghers of Graaff-Reinet, Cradock, and Z wager's Hook, were to assemble at Somerset on the 4th instant, and to proceed on the 6th to drive the Kafirs out of the Kaga mountains. " The enemy had re-appeared in Oliphant's Hoek and Lower Albany, as soon as Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre left that part of the country. They had com mitted several depredations, and had kept the burgher patrols continually active in pursuing them, though with little success. " On the afternoon of the sth instant an attack was made on Mr. Goldswain's place, at Burnt Kraal, five miles north-east of Graham's Town, and the enemy succeeded in getting off with about 1,200 sheep. A patrol, under Captain Carey, was immediately ordered by General Somerset in pursuit, and it was hoped that the flock would be recovered. " On the 3d three inhabitants of the village of Salem, while on cattle guard, were attacked by 15 or twenty Kafirs. One of the guards, named . Thomas Filmer, was severely wounded by a bullet, which lodged in his side. The cattle were, all but one, brought safe to Salem. The wounded man was doing well, the ball having been extracted. " Information had been received from Farmerfield that two houses, one belonging to Mr. Bowles and the other to Mr. Barnes, had been fired near the Ka riega, and 15 head of cattle captured from Mr. Gush. Patrols immediately started off in pursuit, but did not succeed in overtaking the plunderers. " Mr. Thomas Scanlan, of Graham's Town, lieu tenant in the Fingo Levy, a brave and worthy colonist, who was wounded a few weeks ago -while on cattle guard near that town, has died of his wound, leaving a wife and four children, with his parents eighty years of age and quite helpless, to lament his death. " The Clanwilliam Levy, whose extended period of service has expired, were to march to East London for embarkation to Cape Town on the 4th inst." BRITISH KAFRARIA. (From the Graham's Town Journal, Sept. 5.) The military express yesterday brought intelli gence from King William's Town to the 3d instant. We learn by this opportunity that her Majesty's steamer Dee had arrived at East London, having on board several officers and about 40 men of the 2d Queen's with a number of horses. These men of the Queen's came out in the Cyclops, with a company of artillery, which was landed at Cape Town. Our dates from East London are to the 2d instant, at which date several vessels were in the roadstead, irrespective of the Birkenhead, which was waiting the return of Mr. Montagu, the honorary secretary to Government. The rebel Hottentots, doomed to trangportation for life, were on board that vessel, and, it is said, appeared to be in good spirits until they were put into the boats; but then a perceptible " change came over their dream." The Kafirs, it is said, of whom there are in general at the port from 100 to 200, wero quite astonished to see so many as 200 horses come out of one ship, besides a large num ber of Levies. A brisk barter, we are informed, is carried on at East London with the Kafirs (among whom, it is supposed, are many Gaikas) in horses, for which they obtain blankets and other supplies. Our informant states that little doubt can be entertained but that the hostile Kafirs contrive to obtain supplies from East London. This may be probably mere con jecture ; but, at all events, the very suspicion ought to induce, on the part of the authorities, unslumber ing vigilance in protecting the public against the machinations of the crafty enemy. COLONEL MACKINNON'S REPORT. King William's Town, August 27. Sir,—ln pursuance of your Excellency's instruc tions, proceeded on the 21st instant, with a force of 850 men, for the purpose of escorting twenty-eight mule waggons with supplies for Fort Hare, of making a movement on the Chumie range of the Amatolas, and of bringing to this station fifty of the Hottentot rebels, sentenced by a general court-martial to transportation. I reached that post on the 22d instant, having met with no opposition. The officer in command at Fort Hare, Lieut.-Colonel Yarborough, reported to me that the supplies at Eland's Post were exhausted, and that he had no means of transport for sending sup plies there. I therefore sent forward twelve mule waggons, on the afternoon of the 23d instant, with supplies, escorted by 200 men, on the road to Eland's Cost; and having ascertained by means of Fingo spies, that the enemy was in force in the neighbour hood of Lushington Valley and the Katberg, I fol lowed at midnight with the remainder of my force, with the view of reaching Pfeffer's Kop at daybreak. I was in hopes that the small number of men escort. ing the waggons might induce the enemy to await the convoy en the roud to Eland's Post. A drench ing rain unfortunately set in during the night, and prevented our reaching the ground in time to effect anything. On the 24th I scoured all the kloofs near Lushing ton Valley without any success, and passed the wa ggons on to Eland's Post, encamping in the valley. On the 25th the convoy returned from Eland's p ost, an d I proceeded with it to Fort Hare. On the 26th I proceeded to Fort Wbite, and re turned to King William's Town this day, bringing the whole of the prisoners safely in.

His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief having submitted to her Majesty's High Commissioner and Assistant Commissioners the proceedings of a court of inquiry, held in Graham's Town, to investigate the causes that have led to the recent desertion of certain soldiers of the Cape corps, and the report thereon that such desertions have been caused by rumours having been spread amongst tha Men that they are to be disarmed and given over to the Fingoes and settlers, they deem it necessary to notify to the Hottentot classes generally, that, determined as the Government may be to punish the guilty, it will nett fail effectually to protect from injury and oppression the loyal and innocent; and they are further advised that rumours of a contrary tendency can only have been framed for the purpose Sf involving them in the same disastrous consequencEs which await those of their fellow-subjects implicatid in rebellion—that they are entirely groundless, and traced to their authors will subject them to condign punishment.

The Cape Town Mail contains the official minutes of two meetings, held by the British Resident with certain chiefs of the Orange River sovereignty. The first of these meetings took Ace on the 4th of June last, at Bloom Fontein, and vas attended only by the Barolong chief, Moroko, and Koranna chief, G-ert Taaibosch. These chiefs stated the grounds of com plaint which they had agaiast Molitsane and his allies, and either denied or jtstified the questionable proceedings of which they themselves were accused. The second meeting was held on the 29th of June the day before the attack made by the troops and na tive auxiliaries of the Resident upon Molitsane and his allies, at Viervoot, in which a c ti on t h e ass ailants were repulsed with heavy 10%.

NATAL, We have received Natal papers to the 7th of August. They do not confirm the report of the resignation of Mr. Moodie. The land diffictilties had been satisfac torily settled, by the removal of the restrictions which prevented the sale, lease, mortgage, or devise of cer tain farms, without the consent of the Lieutenant- Governor, until the expiration of seven years after the issue of the title deeds. The proprietors are re quired to fulfil the other conditions relative to the Government inspection of their farms and six months' occupancy, and also to pay twopence per acre for land situated south and south-east of the Great Bush man's River, and one penny per acre for lands situate north and north-west of that river. The farmers in the Klip River district are said, in particular, to be well contented with this arrangement. The Independent of August 7 states that " the force to be dispatched to the aid of the British resi dent at Blown Fontein consisted of Captain Parish, commander; Lieutenants Morris and Miller, Ensign Barnes; Lieutenant Mills, C.M.R. ; St a ff Assistant- Surgeon Sparrow, Deputy Commander General M'Clintock, two companies 45th, twelve Cape Mounted Rifles, and a party of natives, under J.

The principal characteristic of the current number of the Edinburgh is, that its contents are chiefly de voted to the consideration of works which may be classified among the curiosities of literature. Fore most among these in position, and we are disposed to think also in value, is the philological volume com piled by Professor Bopp, in reference to the compara tive grammatical construction of the Sanskrit, Zzlid, Greek, Latin, Lithuanian, Gothic, German, and Scla vonic languages. To every linguist this very mas terly criticism cannot but prove eminently attractive. It recounts the rise of the modern science of compa rative philology, notifying as it proceeds its rapid and remarkable development. As a science, it is pro nounced by the Edinburgh reviewer to be deserving of that eulogium of Humboldt, who proclaims it in his " Cosmos" to be among the most brilliant fruits of modern research. Speaking also of the manner in which this study has been regarded by the more dis tinguished scholars of our age, the critic very sig nificantly remarks that Otfried Muller was one of the first to appreciate fully the value of the new discoveries which had been made in the field of language. Immediately before explaining the differ ence existing between philology and comparative philology, the writer also observes that the latter must not be mistaken for the mere acquisition of languages—thus he continues, by way of illustration, the late Cardinal Mezzofanti, the most wonderful linguist the world has ever known, a man who knew upwards of thirty different languages, together with their almost countless variety of patois or dialects, was not for that reason entitled to the appellation of a comparative philologist. Having marked down facts elucidative of the growth of cognate languages —one of the most astonishing problems in philology—the writer gives an admirable comparison of those tongues, and comments also withc ifiio on c s a i t der n: consider able ingenuity on their superficial classification. Perhaps the most interesting portions of the whole of this very singular inquiry are those relating to the ethnological results of comparative philology and to the common origin of i languages. Several zend, very curious tables of root words n Sanskrit, Latin, Greek, and Gothic are scattered through regard h ga th rd e paper by way of illustration to the context, as to the word brother, bhrata, brats, frater, vavr,F, brother. Another strange theme, selected by a con tributor to the Edinburgh, is that furnished by the " Memoirs of the Dukes of Urbino," by Dennistoun. Of the task undertaken by Mr. Dennistoun, in writing these memorials of the house of Urbino, it is facetiously said that the surprise experienced by the public on first seeing his three splendid volumes could scarcely have been ex ceeded, had the reader in lieu of this encountered " as many portly footmen in blue and gold, clearing the way in the streets for the Kings of Brentford.' Unexpected though the purport of the work in ques tion may appear, it will on scrutiny, however, prove to be in every way entitled to examination. A political curiosity of literature will be found, moreover, re ferred to in the pages of this distinguished periodical, namely, in the review devoted to the recently pub lished correspondence between the " Comte de la Marck and the Comte de Mirabeau"—a correspon dence which has at last explained many of the pro blematic features in the career of that extraordi nary demagogue. A fourth literary curiosity is examined into in the paper relating to Sir George Head's translation of the " Metarmophoses of Apu - lius ;" and a fifth—one of an artistic character—is scrutinized in the writings of Mr. Ruskin in reference to the " Sources of Expression in Architecture." Be sides these articles, the Edinburgh for the present quarter contains a vigorous treatise on " Juvenile Delinquency ;" a very elaborate argument upon the subject of " eapolitan Justice," in which, by the way, Mr. Baillie Cochrane is rather severely handled ; a chapter on the " Anglo-Catholic Theory ;" and a masterly article of a comprehensive nature suggested by the " Official Catalogue of the Great Exhibition." The number is wound up by an apologetic note to the sixth article in the preceding instalment of the Edinburgh,; in which note the amende honorable is very gracefully made to Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton for an unintentional misstatement to the effect that he was among the converts to the principles of protection. TILE QUARTERLY REVIEW. No. CLIXTIII. Only one out of the nine themes above mentioned has been simultaneously adopted by the Quarterly— and this is no other than " Mirabeau's and La Marck's Correspondence." Instead of an article on Bopp's Comparative Philology we have, in the con temporary of the Ediniurgh, a splendid paper on Lyell's inves4o.tion as to " Life and its Successive Development?' erhaps the most admirable of all the current contributions to the Quarterly. Religious topics have been selected by two of the reviewers, one of these papers relating to "Papal Pretensions," and the other to " Puritanism in the Highlands." Bio graphical chapters of an attractive kind will be found in the reviews given upon the " Life and Works of Bishop Ken," and upon Wilkins's edition of the writings of " Sir Thomas Browne." Two singular papers remain to be particularized, namely, those respectively on " Widow Burning," and on the "Lexington Papers"; while the closing article, the oue entitled, " Revolutionary Literature, " we have reserved until now, because in it we perceive, possibly, the most attractive, and, certainly, the most important materials for consideration. Under the title here quoted we find no less than twenty-one separate publications particularised, ranging in variety from Romieu's "ire des Olsen" to the autobiography of " Alton Locke," from " Yeast, a Problem," to " Une Solution Militaire," from a Par 'liamentary blue-book presented to both Houses of the Legislature by command of her Majesty, to the al ready well-known, and in some respects the already notorious," Histoire de la Restauration," by M. de Lamartine...The Quarterly reviewer criticises the latter a work with vigorous severity which we cannot by any means regard as undeserved. He reprobates the miserable adulation lavished upon Louis XVIII. by Lamart ine as strongly as we would ourselves repro bate the same historian's very mean and contemptible caricatures of Napoleon. As an evidence of the truth fulness of M. de Lamartine as an annalist we may point to the passages in which he paints the countenance of a very fat, stupid-looking old man as that of a middle-aged Apollo, and in which he distorts into all conceivable ugliness that beautiful and Jupiter-like bead, the outlines of which have about them the in effable grace of a Greek medallion, or the exquisite chiselling of an antique cameo—that noble beau, the matchless symmetry of whose proportions has been attested by the unflattering chisel of the republican Canova. Treating of the mere style observable in this precious volume of so-called history, the Quarterly reviewer' pronounces over it the very strongest words of condemnation. But the most important division of the whole of this very adverse criticism is that in which the reviewer explicitly and emphati cally deiaies the imputation oust at all the Foreign Ministers concerned in the peace of Paris in 1814— imputation explained by the following quotation from the, " Histoire de la Restauration :" " It!. de Talleyrand, who wished to furnish an autho • rity in his own savour at a later period, for the diplomatic allowances assigned by usage to the negotiators of treaties tif territory, distributed six or eight millions— (from 250,0001, to 300,0001.)—in ransom to the Europea a diplomatists who signed the treaty of Paris. Prince Letternich, the Austrian Minister—Lord Castle reagh, Plenipotentiary of the British Government—M. do Nessedrone—M. de Hardenberg—the one especially in the Milan of Russia, the other in that of Prussia, re ceived et tch a million (40,0001.). The Ministers of the secondar y powers received considerable sums in propor tion to tile importance of the courts they represented. This ran som, offered and accepted as the price of peace, produced. it more promptly, but made it more humiliat ing. As a precedent it was shameful—as a bargain it was advuntageous, for every day of continued occupa. Lion cost France more than eight millions.—p. 458," After making the above extraordinary extract, the reviewer denies the charge in these stern words of indignatiion : " Of this strange statement] we also suspected the translation of being erroneous; but it is very exact, except only that. the French word rancoh does not always mean what ransom does in English, but sometimes an exorhi • tent or fraudulent overcharge. But in whatever shade of obloquy M. Lamartine may have used the term, the assertion remains that Prince Metternich, Lord Castle reagh, and their colleagues, sold their earlier acquiesenoe in the treaties for a bribe of 40,0001. each, and that this was given them by that arch knave M. de Talleyrand, as a precedent, on the strength of which he was by and by to reap a similar harvest. We should not have thrown away a thought on such a statenaent from one of the ordinary class of revolutionary scrib blers, but --recollecting that M. de Laraartine was for a season at the head of the Republic, holding especially the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and having all its secrets within his reach —we have taken the trouble—though almost asnamed of such a work of supererogation—of enabling ourselves to contradict, on the highest and best r authority, and in the meat direct and absolute . manne r , every point and circumstance of the assert ion. spare M. de Lamartine—though he doe n s i : s t d:e o n s n e . v r o v y e e i d t —the indignant terms in which this de nial o l t to us by the most distinguished surv iv o r s otwe °all uponhim states men who signed the treaty of Par is; do i h n is t the is that he should envy, but as ! i E ro u p r o o t p a a tio to n produce t men whom it may be natural hat he should, whether from authority face of his own a c c o a u n n d t a lr country and whom it is unpardonable e t poetry and his chi nAedginligireirincoe oArlpnahaolenvsoelo.ndce thu s La.m ;rndtinneowa,s vb we calumniate" do ul 0 s t profound ly, lric nature, reverencing him as a t u n d e hero who se dauntless va bravery and superb eloquence saved Europe, loving his exquisite y the more iwnalr-84w8,efraorineftohrethheosrerovresryof masons a ea b s lo o o n d s indig nant when we see him jeopardising his fair fame by the blunders, the prejudices, the follies, and the mis representations with which he has tarnished the pages of his last literary composition.

No. CX.— THE FOREIGN QUARTERLY REVIEW. 110. XCV. Metaphysical subjects are those which are touched upon with the most brilliant success in the current number cf this double Quar terly. The one on " Reason and Faith," has reference to the remarkable essays by Henry Rogers, originally published in the Edinburgh. "Life and Immortality," however, is the most mas terly of all the present contributions to the Westmin ster. It is conceived in an elevated spirit, and breathes throughout the gentlest wisdom and the most bewitching earnestness. For the sweetness and lucidity of its philosophy we commend it in the most earnest manner to the scrutiny of the reading po pulation. " Process and Pleading" will be found a very able paper on law reform ; and another of an his torical character respecting the " Marlboroughs and the Reign of Queen Anne," will prove on examination to be of a singularly interesting description. Besides these, the Westminster contains other contributions relating respectively to " Western Africa," to " Newman's Political Economy,".to " Creassy's De cisive Battles," and to " Gregory of Naziaezum." Appended to these articles are various miscellaneous notices, and some excellent criticisms on foreign literature. LITERATURE. STERNE'S SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY. illustrated by Tony Johannot; with a Memoir of the Author by E. L. Blanchard. Willoughby and Co. A more graceful gift-book has seldom appeared than the one in which we here find reprinted not the least charming among the masterpieces of our na tional literature. Laurence Sterne has long been d gh es t tre as ured peculiarly n u a r nsu e dodil a eiimss acc ep tableomve nre measure ayi sonuugr d elig htfulre population. to o l a a e tuc s hol i eacuslin majority accounted rno ierg h t yg e s hence ch this s u any uot un , rt u, lrepubli cationlii indeed, emel s where he has said, in terms of such earnest panegyric, that " Tristram Shandy" must be regarded as per haps the wittiest book in the language. Whatever may be said of the extraordinary merits of that most remarkable work, it must be acknowledged, even by its most enthusiastic admirers, that its ap preciation is necessarily and very materially restricted within limits by its occasional indulgence in beastliness. Not so with the " Sentimental Journey," marred even ; ' though it is by its more voluptuous incidents. For licentious though in passages in the latter work m a y b e i n th e i r certain passages they contain no grossness of imagina tion comparable to that displayed in the former, and of the two, incomparably the greater pro duction.certainl y ' The " Sentimental Journey" is consequently the favourite with the generality of readers ;and, as ;that the " Beauties of Sterne" as a literary com position, . PB convincing es t n i o e' ni t will principally proof cot n x s s b f foundi excellence of quotations from its pages. It is in the " Sentimental Journey " that we g huve b discoveree been o pr i nc i pa ll y many o instrumental those in author's celebrity, a n d is ev oking from the sympa thies of the milli on a ver y swee t, a very beautiful, freaxgrenednitsn wh ich and a very enviable reputation. There is the monk, for example ! who can ever forget him? He has again " the hectic of a moment passing across his cheek" when we think of him ; and we listen once more to the compunctious exclamation of the traveller, " My heart smote me the moment he shut the door : Paha ;' said I, with an air of care lessness, three several times—but it would not do - every ungracious syllable I had u tt ere d crow d e d back into my imagination." Then there is the remise door and the lady encountered under em harassing circumstances ; and the pulse of the little glove-seller, with the account of all its equable throb bings. There, again, is the captive in his dungeon, looking up at the interrupted sunlight; and the starling pleading for liberty with such very piteous iteration. There is the sword redeemed by the merchant-noble, with a tear still glittering on its rusty blade: and poor Maria of Moulines weeping yet under the poplar by the brookside. There, too, is the man at the post-house of Nampont lamenting the dead ass, " that had eat the same bread with him all the way, and was unto him as a friend"—and talking of this, possibly the most lovely passage for pathetic simplicity in the whole of the " Sentimental Journey," we call to mind on the instant that famous sentence of Byron's, in which he said of Sterne, that he "preferred whining over a dead ass to relieving a living mother." Always bearing in recollection this well-known aspersion, and always remembering with it that nowhere can be discovered any facts corro borative of the statement, we turned, for some allusion to the remark in the agreeable little biography of Sterne prefixed to the present volume, by Mr. Blanchard. At page 21, accordingly, we detected the following very significant commentary upon the assertion referred to :—" The mother of Sterne died in 1732, when Sterne was not nineteen years of age (for Sterne was born on the 24th of November, 1713), and the affectionate regret with which he speaks of her, and the little pension which she received for the few months she lived after the death of her husband, would show not only that he was guiltless of unfilial treatment, but that she was in a pesition far removed from that state of abject distress which the reproach levelled at him would seem to imply." We thank the biogra pher for this, we are grateful to him—for we regard the above sentence as conclusive. It dissipates a vile and execrable calumny. It proves that many a false as well as many a true word may be spoken in jest ; and it enables the reader of the new volume to peruse it throughout with unalloyed satisfaction as the effusion of one whose writings abound with ex quisite sentiment, but of one also, whose actions were very frequently the results of a pure and generous sensibility. In every other particular the memoir of Sterne, accompanying this exceedingly beautiful edi tion, reflects the highest credit upon Mr. Blanchard. It is penned throughout in a pure and flowing style, relating succinctly the incidents in the life of our au thor, and evidencing a full and perfect appreciation of his many inimitable capacities as a writer. Mr. Blan chard's charming biography is happily associated with the very tasteful and appropriate embellishments scattered through the volume, from the pencil of Tony Johannot. Altogether the new issue o f Sterne's " Sentimental Journey," will prove, on ex amination, to be a worthy addition to any library, as well as an elegaut work for the table of a drawing room or a boudoir. The merits of the original text and of the newly- compiled memoir have been ade quately responded to by the remarkable excellence visible both in the illustrations and the typography.

ALDERMAN WILEY. (From the Sheffield independent.) It is our mournful duty to r.ecord the death of one of our townsmen, who for twe sty years past has been distinguished by his public spiirit, his ability, his use fulness, and his benevolence. About 1831, Mr. Wiley added to his ordinary business; that of news agent, a business then almost new amoi xg us. Early in 1832, he removed to the Old Hay, narket, when he soon gave indications of a spirit of enterprise to which the town had been little accustom xi. At that time, Mr. Murdo Young, the proprietor )f The Sun, had broken new ground. He had begun Ito publish late editions of his paper, giving the Parliat nentary debates up to post time. The excitement of the public mind throughout 1831 and 1832, .caused by the reform agitation, aided his design, arid The Sun, far out stripping its old rivals, became: the favourite evening paper. On special occasions Mr. Young sent his papers by express to the princi pal towns of England. Mr. Wiley became his agent, t te,cl frequently brought down the express papers to Sh elfield, Leeds, &c. On some of these occasions the journey was performed with a rapidity till then unparaille)led, though railways and , the telegraph have since thrown into the shade all the ailimei is of horse flesh. On the occasion of th a passing of the Reform Bill, on the sth Jun e , 1832, Mr. Wiley reached Sheffield with the nee 'll at half-past twelve, having accomplished the jourry y in about twelve hours. No man entered mote! heartily than Mr. Wiley into the enthusiasm of ti 113 period. His window became the resort of all who 'were anxious for the latest news. In fact Mr. Wily 1r was soon one of the best known and most popular (ff our townsmen, On many topics he was the main c. mrse of information to multitudes ; while to a more li suited circle his sound and acute judgment made him an invaluable adviser. To the liberal party Mr. Wile 5 7 s services were for many years most important. o thoroughly liberal opinions he united great meth aal sagacity. He did not allow sounding phrases to It ,ter mine his opinions without the effort to think. IE le grasped firmly the subjects that came before hin a u subjected them to analysis, tested their evidence: a and rarely failed to arrive at a well-founded result , At the first muni cipal election Mr. Wiley was i rflurned as one of the members for St. Peter's ward, :and for that ward he continued to sit until Novemb en., 1849, when he was elected an alderman. In Max oh of the same year he bad been elected by the freehe lers a member of the Town Trust. And in April h e had received .from his townsmen a dinner service, o f silver plate, of the value of 200 guineas, which, tee cording to the inscrip tion, was presented " to Mr. '1 .7homas Wiley by his friends and fellow townsmen, ai i a mark of their sin cere esteem and gratitude for 1 ;he many services, po litical, social, and benevolent, al Nob he bad rendered to the public during a perice lof 20 years." For several years past Mr. Wiley hl is suffered much from a disease of the heart, which hal i kept him constantly on the very brink of the grim and has frequently ' prevented him from taking any i )art in business, public or private. But his bountiful disposition was una bated. Every Christmas he alt tddened the heart of a great number of old people b: y presents of blankets and Christmas fare, and many at all seasons were the recipients of his bounty. He has left no children but the adopted orphans of eev, 2ral of his relatives to whom be has been indeed a fat her. For some weeks past his complaint has been seriously aggr avated. Soon after ten o'cl oc k on I' d .onday night, su ddenly awaking from an apparent' y comfortable sleep, he sprang out of his bed by a'V Jlent effort, and, falling into a chair, expired inst ar it ly. On a post mortenz examination it app eare d that his heart, instead of the natural weight of about t a ounces, weighed two pounds. Mr. Wiley was 5 7 ears of His in terment will t a k e p l ace ( rt I y Monday age. n ext, at St. John's Church, and we ha\ .e no doubt the occasion will be seized by many to in k their respect for his character. i 4 s. ----' coo' 99,7 59 111 591 00 5° 0, 04 129,5 f,
