We, now come to Historical Facts, therefore, as the Clown at Astley's would sav, " Let us be serious." It is an historical fact, that the Earl of Essex loved, or pretended so, Good Queen Bess, therefore he hated the Earl of Leicester, and thence arose a conspi racy—Sir Walter Raleigh fears his pipe will be put out—Bacon gets entice in a frizzle, and Lord Burleigh shakes his head—bat there's nothing in that, whatever they may say to the contrary. It is an historical fact, that Good Queen Bess was assisted at her toilet by many of her noblemen, therefore the GRAND PROCESSION OF THE TOILETTE is introduced, in which the Royal Wig! the Royal Ruff ! ! the Royal Blushes !! ! and the Royal Petticoat !! ! will make their first appearance on any stage, and trust to the " Weal Indulgence of a British Public." These are followed by GOOD QUEEN BESS on deshabille, as she is represeoted in a picture at Hampton Court. —What comes next will certainly follow—and then will be seen GOOD QUEEN BESS In all her royal spleadour.—lt is an Historical Fact, that Good ./ueen Bess, like " Young Susan"—" had lovers so many that she scarcely knew upon which to decide"—and it. is an Historical Fact that the following were a few of them. • THE REJECTED ONES : Philip of Spain, Prince Rupert, Prince of Sweden, Duke of Anjoa, Prince Alengon, Marquis of Winchester, the King of Sweden, Benry of Navarre, Archduke Charles, Earl of Arundel, Sir William Pickering, Charles Blount, and. the Earl of Arran. Good Queen Bess appoints a meeting of these " woaderons proper men" at Kenilworth, bat declares , that on her way, A hunting will go" —and having got on the " High Horse," the story gallops on to CUMNOR HALL BY MOONLIGHT—WiIson. .

KENILWORTH CASTLE As it appeared on the occasion of Good Queen Bess's Royal Visit. For further particulars inquire of Sir Walter Scott. It is an histori cal fact that Good Queen lie,s paid the Earl of Leicester a visit, and " paid the piper." This, his gorgeous tete, half ruined him ; there fore we pity his fate, hut must admire his wondrous generosity, for all he ever hoped for in return was—half-a-crown. The Earl fore stalls Shakspere, by discovering " that the course of true love never did run smooth," for here he meats with some twenty " competi teurs," and to him they do come " petit ours," for they prove per fect bears, or, more properly speaking, bores.

A melancholy narrative is preserved among the archives of the National Library in Bloomsbury—a narrative scattered through many forgotten manu scripts, and through various printed pamphlets, ob scure, yellow, and worm-eaten. We have perused that narrative ourselves, and, unless the task be anti- cipated, we know the hand which will ultimately invest those sorrowful revelations with their merited publicity. They constitute a record of the career of one of the most brilliant and ingenious of all the illustrious contributors to the Spectator. They afford materials for the biography of one of the most charming essayists in English literature, recounting the vicissitudes of that unfortunate man, who, before committing suicide near the starlings of old London bridge, pencilled those words, which have since been celebrated in the history of misfortune—" What CATO did, and ADDISON approved, cannot be wrong." Our own days have witnessed a persecution as deplo• rable as that which led to the premature and aw ful dissolution of EUSTACE BUDGELL. Happily, however, both for the authors and the victim of this persecution, the endurance of the latter has surpassed that of his gifted predecessor in suffering, having nobly defied the influence of despair while submitting to the anguish of so many undeserved calamities. It required the hand of genius to pen an appropriate narrative of the miseries which have recently be fallen Captain GEORGE DOUGLAS, late of her Ma jesty's 16th Regiment, and happily that necessity has been fulfilled by the earnest and vigorous intellect which conceived the " Diary pf a Late Physician." A letter, published in the form of a volume, addressed to the QUEEN'S Most Excellent Al .jesty, has just dis closed to the world, in its full and undisguised com pleteness, a story previously comprehended only in fragmentary passages. Although the work has been issued from the press merely within the few days that have already elapsed of this present January, we should have directed general attention to it even earlier than this evening's impression, but that we were solicitous to con its disclosures with due so briety and deliberation. H wing at length risen from the perusal of the volume, our whole soul yet burn ing with the indignation kindled by its eloquence, we would forthwith, without any further delay what ever, utter some preliminary comments upon a pro• duction which we may well designate a military romance, penned in language as remarkable for its persuasive simplicity as for its rhetorical excellence, and invested with a pathetic and enthralling interest throughote. Our previous allusions to the sentence passed by court-martial upon Captain GEORGE DOUGLAS, late of her MAJESTT'S 16th Regiment, must have de monstrated with sufficient lucidity to the intelligence of our readers the cruelty of a punishment as harsh as it was altogether unmerited. We ourselves have frequently in these columns applied to the charges preferred against that officer the most elementary principles of logic, and, aided simply by the light of the facts revealed on the occasion of his trial, have shown beyond all controversy that in the publication of those facts alone his acquittal was virtually pro nounced. Nothing whatever, as far Es our editorial judgment was concerned, could have been deemed in any degree desirable for the purpose of attesting yet more undebateably the innocence of this unfortunate but most honourable gentleman. The paltry nature of the accusations levelled against him ; the flimsy, shallow, dubitable, and utterly inadequate evidence by which those imputations were supported ; the ruthless, inexorable, and most extravagant sentence pronounced upon the prisoner by his judges, confirmed by the authorities at the Horse Guards, and ratified by the sign-manual of our Gracious SOVEREIGN — were all as glaringly recognizable by the unpreju diced before as after the appearance of the present remarkable composition. What was wanting, how ever, has been nobly supplied by its burning and impassioned eloquence. Mr. WARREN has here written, in letters of phosphoric brightness and legi bility, a record of the damning facts out of which all this lamentable persecution has emanated ; he has revealed with a gallant indifference to the consequences the source of all this moral gangrene, the origin of this heartless assassination of character, the cause of this unmanly animosity and unsoldier-like turpitude. His voice, in breathing the tones of exculpation, has risen to those lefty accents which are appropriate to the lips of the tragic dra matist—and the tale he has told is in truth a tragedy —a tragedy not the less touching because its victims are a young mother and her new born infant, while the principal sufferer is their husband and father, a private soldier in the service of our beloved Sovereign Queen VICTORIA. Detailed by the pen of SAMUEL %KAAREN, the story of this poor naaily, reduced in ' the midst of its unoffending obscurity to irredeem- able desolation, is one ( f the most heart-piercing narratives ever written by the hand of a novelist— but, alas . ! in this instance the gloomy phantoms of romance have been exceeded by the dismal shadows of reality. Tnroughout, the various incidents trans piring in the island of Alderney are linked together by a striking and harrowing consistency. One cir cumstance follows another in this masterly exposure with a sequential significance beyond all possibility of miapprehension. There are perceptible from the very outset, the irritating relations in which the town-major of Alderney and the commander of the troop of the 16th Regiment, then stationed in Alderney, stood in regard to each other— differences of opinion which appear to have so far affected the temperament of Colonel LE MESURIER, as to have resulted in many deplorable calamities. After examining the statement of the occurrences here submitted to the scrutiny cf her Most Excel lent MAJESTY by Mr. WARREN, it is impossible not to discern that the charges preferred against Captain GEORGE DOUGLAS were trumped up for the purpose of covering the dead bodies of MARY RILEY and her unfortunate offspring with the impenetrable pall of oblivion. Thanks, however, to the beneficent Nemesis of Christianity, the very effort made to hush up the double death of the wife and child of poor PATRICK RILEY has been the means of raising a voice .which will resound throughout the length and breadth of the land, penetrating the innermost sanctuary of the Palace, and echoing through the chambers of the Legislature with the syllables of its avenging revelation! With the intention manifestly of shrouding in forgetfulness the cruelties which led to the dissolution of a young mother and her new-born infant in the Old Canteen House, near the barracks at Alderney—a young and gallant sol dier, the representative of an ancient family, and a ignominiously expelled of spotless reputation , has been expelled' from the service o f his QUEEN, on a trumpery charge cf equivocating to a constable in capable of comprehending the meaning of our language and branded in the presence of his brother officers, and of his fellow-countrymen generally, with con -• duct at once " scandalous and infamous." Such is the crying wrong which remains to be expiated — and happily for the cause of justice, for the credit of the army, and f9r the memory of the reign of VICTO RIA, the appeal for its expiation has been made by a voice so resonant in its argumentative eloquence. and addressed to a Monarch as clear in intellect as she is benignant in disposition. Touchingly and rergentlY 1 1 4 1 Mr. Whau‘szi exclitiraed—" T nth constrained to appeal unto CitiAß. " That appeal, we doubt not, will very speedily prove not to have been made in vain—and the removal of a great wrong will then amply repay the self-sacrificing toils of geniu., while it yields a tardy, yet still sweet and welcome consolation to a disgraced, an injured, but through all a true and right honourable soldier. We await with confidence those royal words of justice which will thrill through the heart of the whole nation, coming from the regal walls of Wind sor, of Osborne, or of Buckingham. What " Jew ROTHSCHILD" (as BruoN called him) has refused to do, " his brother Christian BARING," led on by the anti sacra fames, has not thought it unbecoming his Christian status, or his character as an Englishman, to perpetrate ; the house of BAILING Brothers (of which house, be it not forgotten, Sir FRANCIS THORNHILL BARING, the First Lord of the Admi ralty, is a partner), the house of BARING Brothers, the English house cf BARING Brother:, the Christian house of BARING Brothers, has dared " to offer an outrage to the moral sense c:f the civilized world " by contracting for a Russian loan in the city of London. This loan for five millions is, it is pretended, for the completion of the rail road between S. Petersburgh and Moscow ; so state Messrs. BARING Brothers, on the faith of the assertion of the Emperor NICHOLAS. How ex ceedingly innocent, and simple-minded, and credulous Messrs. BARING Brothers are when it suits their convenience ; they are the very Corydons of Capel-court, the simple shepherds of the Stock-Exchange; five millions, only five millions are wanted to complete a railroad already nearly completed and which goes through a country presenting no great engineering difficulties, and where there is neither land to be purchased nor compensa- tion to be . paid ; and Mean?: BARING Brothers believe this because it pleases the Emperor NICHOLAS to assert it. Verily we may be thankful that Sir FRANCIS BARING, wha believes in NicaoLas, is not Foreign Secretary, or perchance the Cossacks would have been by this time at Constan- tinople. And here we would remark upon the ex cessive inconvenince which must arise from appointing money jobbers and their connexions to high offices of state. Suppose a war were to break out between England and Russia, the interests of BARING Brothers would be opposed to those of Queen VICTORIA. It would be the interest of Queen VIC TORIA to damage in every possible way the credit of Russia; it would be the interest of BARING Brothers to uphold it—to which of the two would. Sir FRANCIS THORNHILL BARING pay his allegiance ? Would the First Lord of the Admiralty do his utmost to damage Russia ? Could he forget that he was a member of the firm of BARING Brothers ? This money is not wanted to complete the railroad, it is wanted for purposes of war—of war to be carried on against the interests of England, perhaps against England herself; it is wanted to defray the expense of the Hungarian and Polish campaigns ; for admitting for the sake of argument that the money thus raised will be expended on railroads (a supposition so monstrous as to amount to a self-evident absurdity), still but for that Hungarian campaign the Emperor of RUSSIA. would have had funds sufficient to have completed his railroad without a loan—the money is wanted, as M. COBDEN justly observes in his a :mirable letter to the Secretary of the Peace So :iiety, " to pay the savage instruments of the devastation cf Hungary," to pay the murderers cf BATTUT ANT and of Aumca, it is blood-money that Messrs. BARING Bro thers have undertaken to lend—it is blood-money that they ask the capitalists of England to supply. To every man to whom they have addressed a circular, ask ing his subscription to this loan, Messrs. BARING Bro thers have offered a deliberate insult. We trust that no Englishman (BARING Brothers are, thank GOD, more American than English), we trust that no English man will be found sufficiently base to take part in this " unholyand infamous transaction ;" should there be any such, let him be regarded as excommunicate and a castaway; the blcod of BATTHYANY, the blood of Auracu, the blood of the murdered of Arad and - . of Pesth, will be on his head ; his will be the guilt, the shame, the disgrace of the wornan•fl•.gger. Never again be his red right hand grasped in friend ship; let all mankind avoid him ; the subscription to the Russian loan will be as the mark of CAIN branded on his brow. But we will not believe that England holds any man who will join the &RINGS in this infamous transaction. We devoutly hope, for the honour of our country, that not one single application will be made to them from any English house, but that they will be permitted to monopolize the unhallowed gains, what ever they may be, as they will in that case the iviiimy and guilt of this most unholy compact. We are rejoiced to find that Mr. Coanzis has taken up this question, and is bestirring himself to convene a meeting in the City as an indignant protest in repro bation of this " unholy and infamous transaction." There are many points on which we con sider Mr. COBDEN wrong, and we have never hesi tated to state as much whenever the occasion seemed to require it, but in this he is right, and every honest man will go with him cordially. Let the meeting be held without delay, and let it be followed u? by meetings in every town in England. Never, perhaps, has public opinion been more une quivocally exhibited in Ireland than recently on the great question of free trade. Never has a body of reactionary agitators been more signally discomfited than the Protectionists in the sister kingdom. The " grand demonstrations" that were so vaunt ingly announced by the Tory press, which were to have afforded the most striking illustrations of the unanimous decision cf . the Irish people of all classes and grades in society, have proved complete and un questionable failures. The monopolists have sus tained defeat after defeat. The black north, where it was supposed their greatest triumphs would have been achieved, has witnessed the total annihilation of their hopes. Downshire was regarded as the strong. hold of the party; in that county, where the princi ple of " tenant-right" is almost universally sanc tioned and recognised, where landlords and tenants are united by the strongest bonds of common interest, where the cultivator of the soil would really be benefited by high prices for agricultural produce, as well as the owner, the feeling in favour of free and unrestricted trade has been most clearly and dis tinctly exhibited. The sturdy yeomen of Ulster are not, however, to be deceived by the weak devices and glaring fallacies of the advocates of the re-impo sition of taxes on human food. They mustered strongly at the Court-house of Downpatrick, under the guidance of one in whom they well knew that the most unbounded confidence might be reposed—who in all the relations of life, public or private, had ever maintained the highest character. Mr. SUARmAN CRAWFORD—the kind-hearted and generous landlord, the intelligent and liberal politician—was a fitting leader for the shrewd and clear-headed farmers, who arranged themselves at his side in opposition to prin ciples which they believed to be deeply in jurious to the interests of their common country. He was well qualified to expose the errors and mistakes of those who might endeavour to mislead the people, and induce them to give their voices in favour of partial and highly objectionable imposts for the benefit of a privileged minority. Under his generalship it was certain that the contest would be ably and skilfully conducted, and the free-trade force rendered fully available, and such was the case. The victory was indeed complete ; there was nothing to be desired or wished for. From the moment that the Court-house was opened no doubt could remain as to the result. The blank and desponding countenances of the requisitionists formed a strong contrast to the bold and manly as pects of their opponents. The reception af forded to the different speakers removed- every doubt, if doubt could have existed. The torrents of enthusiastic applause with which the Ho• nourable Member for Rochdale was greeted When proposing his amendment to the first resolution, and the hearty cheers bestowed upon his lucid and bril liant oration, appeared_to dispel any delusions under which the Protectionists might previously have laboured. They speedily became heartily ashamed of themselves, and of their ill-omened cause ; a rapid retreat appeared the only available course ; Saute qui pout became the order of the day, and one by one sneaked, crest-fallen and broken-spirited, from the scene of their discomfiture When the question was put on the original resolution. scarcely thirty hen is were raised in its favour, while the amendment was carried by a decisive and overwhelm ing majority. The amendment itself was of so sound and practi cal a character, and so fully explained the views and feelings of the tenant-farmers of Ireland, and the line of policy necessary to render that unhappy country really prosperous, that we cannot refrain from giving it in extenso. It was resolved—. " That we recognise with satisfaction the indications of improved manufacturing, commercial, and financial prosperity, which have Lean exhibitel during the year 1849, under the action of free trade; that as a e consider the abundance and el eapress of food to be the only true basis on which tie happiness of the people sad the pros perity of the nation can to founded, we do not de ,ire a rt-turn to 0 e protective system; but we are of opinion that, in order to me , t the lea ered prices of alsicultto al produce, and to compete wish the growers of corn in foreign cauntr'ea, it a ill be requisite for tLe farmers of t' e Unite 1 Kingdom to take means for increasing the productive powers of it e soil, by improved systems of cultivation, mai a larger exreaditure et labour and capi tal; and that, theieFore, it bestoraes more especially just and necessary that the rent of all lands let at the former high scale of prices should be reduced in conformity with the fall in the rates of produce; and that the tenant's right of property in all improvements created by his money and labour should be established by law, and tf.e value secured to him according to the custom of this country, known under the name of tenant-right'."' The principles here enunciated are indeed just and equitable, sagacious and statesmanlike. " The abundance and cheapness of food is the only true basis on which the happiness of the people and the prosperity of the nation can be founded.' A return to the protective system is not desirable, and the low ered prices of agricultural produce, and the full and fair competition with the growers of foreign corn, can only be encountered by increasing the productive powers of the soil, by an improved system of cultiva tion, and a larger expenditure on labour and capital. Former rents, assessed under a very different state of affairs, can no longer be maintained ; fair reduc tions muA be made, in conformity with the reduced price of produce, and legislative security must be afforded to the tenant that be himself, or his family, will be permitted to enjoy the fruits of his skill and industry ; and that can only be attained by a Par liamentary recognition of the time-honoured custom of "tenant-right." The defeated Protectionists attempted to break their fall, by subsequentlyjiolding a hole-and-corner meet ing in the county grand jury-room, and by passing in their privacy the resolutions which they had fondly hoped would have been adopted at the county meet. ing. But the people will not be deceived, and these suggestions will go forth to the world as the vain and futile aspirations of a few disappointed land ordc. we need not chronicle the other failures in Done gal, Monaghan, Meath, Wexford, or Clare. The results must satisfy the reactionaries, if, indeed, they are at all capable of understanding the signs of the times, that they may at once, and for ever, abandon the Dame Partington effort of attempting to stem the tide of public opinion with their Protectionist besom s. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. The members of the Club of the Mountain have issued an address to the masters of the Primary Schools throughout France, recommending them to resign their situations, as the only means of escaping the persecution of " the prefects, the servile executors of the pleasure and the vengeance of the Govern ment." . _ The N apoleon announces the recal of the French fleet from Vourla. The National maintains, notwithstanding the con tradiction of the Cons titutionnel, that a small expedi tion has been ordered to be fitted out against Buenos Ayres. M. YXTET has been named reporter of the Com mittee on the Paris and Avignon Railway Bill. The Opinion Publique, the organ of the parti-pretre, having stated that certain high personages have shared three or four millions gained by a forced rise of the Funds, and that they are now preparing a fall to profit by it in a similar manner, the Aloniteur calls upon the Legitimatist journal to name:the persons to whom it alludes. _ There had been a heavy fall of snow in the south of France s which lrA prevented the arrival of the Madrid and the Italian mails.

The Central Government at Franlif,rt has just published the report of the budget for the German fleet for 1850. For the term of the interim it ap pears to include only the maintenance of the existing material and staff of the fleet, with such improve ments only ea are indispensable • among which is a marine school, for the purpose oithoroughly training seamen. The budget is fixed at 40,000 florins. The Hanoverian Chamber has voted the following resolutiou by a majority of 42 to 34 "In consideration that the fundamental principle and object of the movement of 1848, and of the German National Assembly, are the material and political union of all German races, and as this prin ciple must be maintained, and as some States, by not adhering to the formation of a Federal Union, have rightfully convention the 30th obstacles af in Mayth waye Govern ment, and as the adhesion o f t h e G overnment to t h e was of ha t a necessity im posed on the Government, and as this adhesion noway infringes any rights of the Chamber or State, the House passes to the order of the day on the documents laid before it by the Go vernment, at the same time the establishment of a Constitution corresponding with the wants cf Ger many is urgently required. The Chamber requests the Government to pursue this object with energy, candour, and self-abnegation, and especially to pro mote the convocation of a German representation, which may labour in concording this Constitution, through the medium of an electoral law which carries with it the confidence of the German people." The Berlin Reforme, of the lltb, announces, that with regard to the Prussian Constitution, the Go vernment is determined to stand or fall by the KING'S Message. It is stated in letters from Dresden of the fith, that the Prussian Government has refused to comply with the request of the Saxon Government, to allow Prus sians of the Zollverein to take part in the Exhibition of Manufactures which is to he held at Leipsic in the spring, alleging as a reason that it cannot do any thing to promote the national interests of Saxony, after the attitude assumed by its Go s vernment in the German question. The Saxon Government has been beaten upon every question raised in the Chambers, and it is supposed that the Saxon Chambers will disapprove of the con duct of the Government in refusing to give orders for the election of Deputies to the Parliament of Erfurth. Prince ERNEST Of Hesse-Philipstal died recently, at the age of 79. A letter from Vienna of the 6th says :—" All the intelligence which arrives from the Servian Woyc wodia represents the provinces in a state of profound agitation. The pretensions of the population are so unreasonable that no Government in the world could satisfy them. Consequently, the Cabinet is prepared for all eventualities. Among other things the Ser vians demand nothing less than to be allowed, with their brethren on the other side of the Save, to form a state which shall be tributary to Austria. But if they were but once masters of the soil, they would drive away the Magyars and Germans, who, they say, possess no rights to remain." The Emperor of AUSTRIA, says the Lloyd's, has ordered that all the cloth and articles of dress re. quired for bis household shall be of Austrian manu facture. The Cardinal Archbishop of Salzburg (Prince SCHWAEZENBERG) has been nominated Archbishop of Prague and Primate of Bohemia. The Austrian Lloyd's states that the Diets of the Austrian provinces are to be convoked in next autumn, and that the General Diet of the empire may constitutionally assemble in May, 1851. Within the last few days further reinforcements have been sent to the Austrian corps d'armee in Bohemia, and the Austrians now occupy the villages close to the frontiers of Saxony. DENMARK AND SWEDEN. B. letter from liamburgh of the Bth, addressed to the brdependance of Brussel.;, states that marked coolness now exists between the Governments of Denmark and Sweden, caused principally by the reluctance of the latt er to intervene by arms on be half of Denmark i n th e Schleswig affair, awl by its having given orders to its troops to leave t he duchies immediately on the termination of the existi n g armistice. TURKEY AND RUSSIA. The St. Petersburgh Journal cf the 2d records en gagements in different parts of the Caucasus in which the Russians are stated to have been successful. The affairs, however, appear not to have been of much im portance. The intelligence of the settlement of the Russo- Turkish differences is confirmed by the following letter from Constantinople, published by the Journal Iles Debats:— " Constantinople, Dee. 31. " The past week has been occupied with active of go • tiations, with a view to the defir.itive solution of the question of the liungsrian refugees. As I informed you in my letter of the 26th, the only difficulties which pre vert-'d the solution came from the side of Austria. In these circumstance's, Russia, who wished' to close the matter, consented to sign the proces-verbal of the re sumption of relations with the Porte. Ewrything was regulated and settled between M. do Titoff and the Divan, on the basis cf which I have already informed you. The documents were signed on both sides, and the only difficulty was tl at they could not be excharged until Austria had on her side come to an understanding with the Porte. Russia was out of the affair, but still that was not a settlement of it; for either the exchange of e &cum( nts was of no consequence, or it gage Russia the right of renewing Vic question if Austria should not succeed in coming to an understanding with the Porte. " The English and French Ambassadors have been eery act've in their endeavours to put an end t) this provisional siege of things, and they have nearly suc ceedd in bringing about a definitive solution. The Porte, seeing the impossibility ( f conquering the re sistance ( f M. de Sturmer, who stated t' at he was bound by his ir;structi , Ank, proposed a new wording of the clause relative t the imprisonment of the Hunga rians. The new chase states Oat fter some months, when Hungary shall be pacifier', the Divan, after having given notice to that effect to Austria, which will be ad mited to present obseriatiOnF, may put an end to the imprisonment.' "This version, which reserves f a. the Porte it, liberty of action, and makes it no longer, as Baron du Sturmer would have wished, a mere gaoler under the orders of Austria, has been accertql ad referendum by M. de Sturmer, who has sent it to his Government. " Upon this, M. de Titoff, being pressed by his col leagues, did not like to prolong any further a situation which weighs upon the whole world, and this day (the 31st of December) he went to pay a visit to the Grand Vizier. At the present moment the instruments have been exchanged, and the relations with Russia resumed. As regards Austria, she will not resume her relations until an answer shall have been received from Vienna, and until the point still in discussion shall have been definitively settled. "The Minister of France sends off this very day the steam-frigate Le Prony, to inform the Government of the termination of the affair, and we have no doubt but that orders have been given at the same time to the two squadrons to return to Toulon and Malta, their presence in these parts having no longer any object. " On Thursday last the Porte sent a courier to St. Petersburgh, with dispatches which announce to Fuad Effendi his recal to Constantinople. Ahmed Velek Effendi, member of the bureau of translation of the Porte, and one of the most intelligent of the functiona ries of the Divan, replaces Fund Effendi at Bucharest in the quality of commissioner. Bt fore proceeding to assume his functions he will go to Chumla, where the Polish refugees now are, to arrange everything con nected with their being sent out cf Turkey." QUEEN'S THEATRE. Although the Queen's Theatre but seldom attracts the attention of the diurnal press its pretensions to public favour are of no mean order. Mr. James, the lessee, has always been considered an industrious caterer for the amusement of the play-going portion of the inhabitants who reside in the populous neigh bourhood of Tottenham-court-road, and he finds his reward in the overflowing audiences that nightly crowd his tastefully decorated house. Melodrama is the peculiar order of entertainment which he provides for his patrons, and the attraction of the present moment is a piece called Jane Brightwell, abounding in hair•breadth escapes and thrilling incidents. Mr. E. Green performs the chief character, and succeeds in throwing a good deal of spirit and energy into the part. The pantomime which Mr. James has pro duced this season is entitled The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood ; or, _Harlequin and the Fairy of the Silver Waters. It is splendidly got up, and contains many smart hits at the follies of the day ; the last scene, the Realms of B!iss, is superb. Altogether the pan tomime at this little theatre, in point of beauty of scenery, vies with any other in the metropolis. ALMANACKS. THE FINE ARTS ALMANACK; or Artist's Remembrancer for 1850. Edited by R. IV. Buss. Mr. Buss has here supplied a want which has been felt for some years by artists and amateurs. Whilst every pr( f.,.ssion and calling had its special almanack, devoted to its special service, and containing in a con densed form every species f information that could he required by its members, artists and amateurs have been hitherto without such a vade-mecutn. The delay, however, has not been altogether produc tive of disadvantage ; had it not taken place, the task of compiling the Artist's Almanack might have fallen into less able hands than those of Mr. Buss, who, by taking advantage of the experience of others, has compiled the best special almanack that has hitherto appeared. THE REPORTER ALMANACK. New Edition. The proprietor of this most useful almanack, encou raged by the great patronage which has been be stowed on if, has brought out a new edition, hand somely bound in embossed cloth, and gilt. It is bound in various colours, and from the elegance of its appearance, combined with the beauty of its typography, the immense mass cf information it con tains and the admirable method in which the infor mation is arrange(', there can be no doubt but that the Reporter Almanack will be found upon every drawing-room and library table, as well as in every counting-house and coffee-room. COCK'S MUSICAL ALMANACK. The Musical Almanack of 1850 is a great improve ment upon its predecessor. It contains a calendar, in which each day is noted as the anniversary of some interesting event connected with music and musi cians ; lists of the organists of the United Kingdom ; of the various musical societies with their officers; of the different musical journals, besides a vast mass of interesting information on the subject of music generally. Every lover of music will be gratified by the information contained in the following extract from the Musical Almanack:— " 21st. LlSZT.—Extract of a lt tt3r from Germany : Leaving Dresder, I proceeded bn a visit to Liszt, at Weimar, for one day only. his prolonged uoj,.urn during eigbt'en mot the in this little city excited my curiosity. I could not unierstand how this man, gif ed with so much activ;tr, and formerly so anxious of ob taining repute in his profession, could condemn himself Otis to retirement, and, in some degree, obscurity. My Onishment was dissipated after I had seen him, far I had soon a very natural explanation of this mystery. Li , zt has 13, come a new man, but continues still to culti vate seriously that tut which during several years had obtained him such celebrity. Uuder his direction the chapelie of the Grand Duke cf Weimar has improved, both as regards its members and its finished execution. Fatigued of his success as a pianist, he is •preparing himself as a composer, and has already produced a con siderable number of great work°, amongst which I par ticularly noticed two concertos for piano, entirely written and instrumented, and which I heard perfcrmed. _ The style is absolutely different and entirely nor. The first part commences with an allegro moderato, the second by an adagio; in both, the piano dialogues with the orchestra, a system adopted by Mozart and Beethoven; but with these great I, asters the eclat a the principal part is lessened by the interest of the accompauimenV, whilst Li,xt has uct only given a great importance to the piano in his concertos . , but has even scattered in abundance bold traits which give to them extraordinary brilliancy. These traits are af a new species. I would not make an analysis cf any cf these pieces on only hearing them once, but will content myself with saying that they are thoroughly new in style cf composition, and when pub lished will create much notice in musical circles." COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, MONDAY. The Queen, with their Royal Highnesses the Prin cess Royal and Princess Alice, drove to Froginore this morning. His Royal Highness Prince Albert went out shooting this morning, accompanied by Viscount Mandeville and Mr. Henry Seymour. Colonel Hon. C. B. Phipps and Colonel F. 11. Seymour, were in attendance upon his Royal Highness. The Marchioness of Normanby is expected at the Castle this day, on a visit to the Queen and Prince. The royal dinner party this evening will include her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent (attended by Lady Fanny Howard and the Baroness de Speth), the Marchioness of Normanby, and Colonel Hon. C. B.

Mr. Cobden's recent exposition of the fallacious opinion c f Russian stores of the precious metals in the fortresses of St. Peter and Sr. Paul, should now hare still greater weight, and his promptitude this morning in calling upon the Peace So ciety to have a public met tang and protest at once against the lean, affords much satisfaction in the City, because it is justly esteemed the most legitimate interference that the Peace Society c to originate.

If we were asked our opinion upon the probable success e f the loan, we should say that we expt et about half may be taken here and the rest in France, Holland, and Germany, consequently in six months we may have to part with one or two millions of specie, silver chit fly, and the reit may be teat in merchandize, including railway iron.
