The soundness and ac curacy of these opinions has just received the strongest confirmation from the proceedings which ' have taken place on' the occasion of a sale of several valuable freehold estates situate in the county of Kerry, which were recently brought to the ham mer in Dublin, under the auspices of the well-known and justly respected Mr. W. W. SIBLPSON, of this city, a full report of which appeared yesterday in our columns. The Ministerial intentions have now been fully developed with respect to the temporary measures, some of which have already received the legislative sanction, and a tolerably fair estimate has been put forward, on competent authority, as to the amount of outlay that will be necessary to carry them into full execution—to provide for and feed the people, and also the portion thereof that will be chargeable upon the real property of the country. The nature of the greater part of the permanent measures have also been explained. It is fully un derstood that a comprehensive poor-law, embracing the principle of out-door relief to the able-bodied, is to be enacted with all convenient speed, and that a principle which the landowners have asserted will be equivalent to a confiscation of their interests and rights will be brought into immediate active operation. It is there fore impossible to contend that every circum stance of the times that could awaken the fears of purchasers was not fully known, and taken into ac count, before those gentlemen decided on entering into the competition. No better test could possibly be adopted for ascertaining the views of capitalists with respect to the social condition of the country, and the permanent value of property therein, than the prices realised at such a sale, and yet we find that the average rate was no less than twenty-seven years' purchase-money of the lands—a rate as high as al most any that has ever been obtained during the most prosperous period. This result, following so speedily the high prices obtained at the uale of the Blessington estates in the county of Tyrone, affords the strongest evidence that there is abundance of capital ready to be invested in the acquisition and improvement of land, and that the Ministerial measures, while they will afford main tenance for the destitute and needy, will not in any degree injure the owners of the soil. The opinions of a gentlemen of Mr. SIMPSON'S ex perience and judgment, of one so conversant with the value of real property, must, even if alone, be en titled to great weight ; and we find him asserting that "the loans contemplated by Government, instead of weakening the security of the present incum brances, will place them in a much more secure posi tion "—that " the hands of Government are on the plough," and " that with such a paternal Govern ment Ireland, at no distant time, will rise to that high scale which is her natural posi tion amongst the kingdoms of the earth." These are cheering predictions, and the credit at tached to them may be estimated from the spirited nature of the competition and the high prices ulti mately obtained. Such an indication is far more valuable, and may more fairly be relied on, than the expressions of discontent which are from time to time put forward by those whom it would be im- possible to satisfy by any means, and may be re garded as the best rebuke to their protests and grumblings. The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort has the follow. iug from Stutgard, 23d ult.:— 'The Second Chamber of the States having solicited the Government to enlighten it respecting affairs connected with the liberty of the press, and declared that it regarded the censorship as unconstitutional, the King of Wurtemburg re plied iu the following terms :--- 1 If we maintain the censor ship it is solely because we are forced to do so by the Federal Legislation and Article 3 of the Constitution; and, if the censorship extend to internal affairs, it is a necessary con sequence of the resolutions of the Germanic Diet of 1813 and 1814. A change of the censorship in general or in parti cular could only , be the result of a m o difi ca ti on o f t h e F ederal Legislation. We reserve to ourselves to communicate to the States, in the next session, the steps that we have taken to effect such a change.' " Madrid papers to the 24th ult. have been received, The debate on the Address was still going on in the Chamber of Deputies. It is said that the Ministry will adopt the Address as proposed by the Committee, rather than run the risk of increasing the divisions in the Mo derado party. It appears that the Carlists aro making considerable progress in the north of Spain. In Biscay they as semble in great numbers, and the inhabitants generally are prepared to take arms on the first appear ance of a regularly organized Carlist force. In Cata lonia they are traversing the province i❑ large bands, and notwithstanding the vigilance or the cruelty of the merciless savage, BRETON, who is Captain-General of the province, they have entered several large towns, levied contributions on the authorities, and after wards taken their departure without hindrance or moles tation. Tne Espanol says that the Count of MONTEDIOLIN has been proclaimed at Estella.

W-- THE SITN, LONDON, THUR@DAY MORNING, MARCH 4, 18,17 the British Ambassador and the Minister for Foreign At It was obvious to everyone that, in the relative public positions of these diplomatists, a continued suspensio of all personal intercourse must be detrimental to the public service, and might be dangerous to international interests. Animated by these public considerations, Lord N orman b y i s understood to have been most anxious that not a doubt should remain on the mind of any one as to his desire to find himself again in a position where he could with honour resume the necesFary oth:ial communications. lie, therefore, gladly availed him self of the kind offices of the Austrian Ambassador, Count d'Appony, and placed the question of the personal differences existing between M. Guizot and himself entirely in his Ex cellency's bands, only requiring that M. Guizot should manifest that he met Count d'Appony in the same spirit, by at once declaring that he did not, in his speech of the sth of February, in the slightest decree mean to impeach the truthfulness of Lord Normanby' s reports. M. Guizot gave this assurance in distinct terms to Count d'Appony, who then, on the part of Lord Norniaray, explained the subse quent misunderstanding as to the invitation, and said that there never had been any intention to withd raw th a t invita tion, or to hurt M. Guizot's fe e li ngs. I n consequence of these explanations, the official relations between the Minister for Foreign Affairs and the British Ambassador have been resumed." On Monday the Marquis of NORMANBY had an inter view with M. GIIIZOT at the hotel of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, on the affairs of La Plata. Lord HOWDEN was to leave on his mission to Buenos Ayres on Tuesday, and Count WALEWSEI, the French Minis ter, will follow in a few days. On Sunday the Marquis of NORMANBY and the gentlemen of the English Embassy were received at the Tuileries by the lima and the Royal Family.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool 3 esterday was rather quiet. Sales, 3,000 bales. Speculators took 1,000 bales. American sold at qid. to 7 3 4 d. per lb.—Shares were steady. There are no later sbip arrivals to-day, but the advices from the Continent are still rather unfavourable in reference to the grain markets. The Foreign Exchanges were firm here yesterday afternoon. The London Produce Markets are thus reviewed in the monthly report of Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewesbury :-- "The business transactions of the past month have again been extensive, both for Colonial and Foreign Productions; the quantity of Sugar brought forward for public sale has been very great, particularly from the East Indies and the Mauritius, consequently lower prices have been submitted to; the quantity, however, is now daily diminishing, and importers show more firmness; the stock now on hand is barely sufficient for two months' consumption ; the deliveries for home use for the two months of this year, are about 40 per cent. in advance of last year. The total quantity de livered for home consumption for the twelve months ending the sth January last, shows an increase over the previous year 0f.18,470 tons." The accounts from the manufacturing districts are not so favourable as could be wished : it is feared that the high price of provisions will seriously affect the spring trade. There are several large orders in hand from America, and others are expected to follow; the accounts lat e ly rece i ved thence state that th ere h a d been much doing in English woollen and manufactured goods at considerably increased prices; it remains to be seen how far the recently proposed increase of duty (should it be carried into effect) upon Bri tish goods will check the demand for them. By the Overland Mail from India and China, we have dates from China to the 27th December, Singapore the 7th January, Calcutta the Bth, Madras the 11th, and Bombay the 15th. From India the accounts are still unfavourable for British manufactures, as previous rates are not to be obtained, when any quantity is offered. From China the increase of business noticed its our last has continued, and as the stocks are light, as also the expected arrivals, there is every pro spect of prices being sustained. The English Funds have been rather heavy, Consols realising 90% 1 / 2 for present transfer, and 9014 % for time. Exchequer -bills have been quoted 3s. to ss. premium for the 1,0001, and the Advertised, par to 3s. premium. The New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 92% to 93%.

On Saturday evening the number of inmates in the City Refuge, in Playhouse yard, Whitecross-street, was 453, of whom 150 were women and children, and 303 men. At least two-thirds of the appli cants for relief were Irish, who are every day becoming more numerous, whilststhey form a larger majority than has ever before been known since the opening-of the establishment. At the Eastern Asylum, in Glasshouse-yard, on Saturday night, there were 473 inmates, and the accommodation being quite full, upwards of fifty more unfortunate applicants were ad mitted gratuitously into the Model Lodging House, adjacen. At the West End Asylum, in Upper Ogle-street, 285 were ad !flitted, being the highest number which this establishment can receive. On Monday the applicants were equally nume rous, and of a very destitute chame:er.

Another pleasant theft from Percy, by Albert Smith, opens the present number of Bentley. Sir Al , dingar is the hero operated on this month, end plea santly and merrily does Albert Smith proceed to relate, after his own fashion of burlesque, the adventures of ' the knight. It is a tale to scream over; but, in the midst of all the fun, we ever and anon come unexpect edly upon a little bit of genuine poetry. Take the fol lowing description of " Thames Scenery " as an ex ample t-- "Do you know the river above Maidenhead Bridge? If you do you will be able to call to mind one of the fairest scenes that our sylvan England can boast of. Hanging woods, so thick with leaves that the sunlight can ecarcely quiver on the short and glossy turf below, crime down to the very water's edge until their lowest branches are kissed by the ripple, and the petals of their blossoms spangle the blue river in the springtide. There are long climbing avenues of scented firs and cedars, dark even in blazing noon, and tortuous walks amidst gnarled and mis-shapen bolls of trees, that need every fibre of their writhed roots to hold them to the slopes they start from. Here and there a cold spring of crystal waters forms a clear basin, and gurgles over blue, and white, and mottled pebbles, into the Thames. It is a pleasant thing in summer to gaze from the heights on the fair expanse of river and pasture far below, glittering in th e a f ternoon sun, and hear light laugh ter and stray chords of music, flitting through the woods. You might travel a long way further, and after all your trouble, see nothing that would excite so much admiration as the leafy Clifden." Cooper continues Captain Spike, and the plot thickens as the tale proceeds. The Swash is joined by a Mexi can schooner, on board which she tranships her cargo of flour. One of the casks bursts, and Nlulford discovers that each cask of flour has in its centre a keg of gun powder, so that Spike is in fact supplying the enemy with warlike stores. lie is likewise in treaty to sell the Swash to the Mexican Captain, and to the Mexican he avows his intention of carrying off Rose in the brig to a Mexican port, and then forcing her to marry him Mulford and Rose, who overhear these conversations, take measures to prevent Spike from carrying his inten tions into execution ; the Mexican Captain, who is an n >urable man and completely understands the charac ter of Spike, seems inclined to befriend poor Rose; and even Madame Budd has at length her eyes opened to the villany of Spike. The ships are lying near each other—the Mexican Captain being on board the Swash. Suddenly a furious tornado approaches. The Swa-h weathers the storm thanks to the able manceuvres of Spike but the schooner goes down, and all on board perish. Spike undertakes, for a large reward, to weigh the schooner, and succeeds in so doing. The desciiption of weighing the schooner, with which this chapter concludes, is most graphic. Dr. Cooke I Taylor, in a review of Miss Pardoe's "Louis XIV.," gives an account of the Montpensier marriage of about a century since between the son of Philip of Spain and the daughter of the Regent Orleans. which, like the recent Montpensier marriage, entirely destroyed the entente cordiale which had preVionsly existed between the Orleans Princes and England.

"A Sentimental Journey through Normandy," is a bad rechauffe to the guide books ; the dullness of which, however, is amply atoned for by the article which immediately follows—" A lien contre with some Bachtiari Bandits between Ispahan and Shiraz."

THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE REVIEW. We observe that this Ul iversity organ has a more substantial appearance now than he ro!ofore. Under its second editor it is apparently, and if so, not node servedly, prospering. Some of the art!eles have latterly been remarkable flir their elaboration, and, as an exam ple of this, we may mention the paper upon " Westmin ster Abbey." To th o s e w h o are most familiar with that magnificent relic of midceval architecture, it will be as interesting as to those least acquainted with its antique beauties. Whatever may be said in depreciation of the gothic style of architecture as a mongrel style, a barba rous and florid style, the superb minsters and abbeys scattered so plentifully about England attest sufficiently well the genius of their fabricators, while they render sarcasm futile and derision dumb by their magnifold graces and exquisite proportions. Of these buildings, Westminster Abbey is among the most splendid ; one portion of it being of matchless beauty (we mean, of course, King Henry the Seventh's Chapel). But that the " Sacrifice of Cracow" can scarcely be spoken of too frequently, inasmuch as it is associated with the liberties and safety of all the lesser principalities of continental Europe, we should regard the article under that heading as rather stale and profitless. With a silly and insigni ficant vituperation upon Sir E. L. Bulwer Lytton and his " Lucretia," the minor criticisms form but a con temptible group. Otherwise, the Oxford and Cambridge Review is praiseworthy. ar A vol , MP; , 4 00 43ev,4-7:farl,- 111 bf g r:N • + ,4".4k.,, ' : MON , A 6• Ant LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 1847.

PEEL ; and, on a d vision the numbers were— For the Amendment . 100 Fur the original motion l9O Majority —9o The house then aijourned at a few minutes after Six Yesterday we expressed it as our decided opinion at the annexation of Cracow to the Austrian do ninions was an .evil supervening upon the dishonest policy of the French Government. Upon the atrocity of that monstrous annexation we have already and repeatedly commented. The indignation which it has excited among all civilised nations is at once an evidence that the deed is a direct violation of the natural rights and constitutional privileges of the people, and an indication that the time has elapsed in which such crimes could be perpetrated with im punity. So earnest and resolute is this feeling of wrath in Western Europe, that her Most Gracious Majesty the QUEEN protested against the act of the Northern spoliators in her MAJESTY'S royal address to the British Parliament. In the language then uttered by their SOVEREIGN the people have con tinued to feel a deep though silent sympathy. Only through the medium of the Press bad the popular sentiment hitherto been able to find a medium for its enunciation until the large and interesting meeting, the proceedings of which were fully reported in the columns of The Sun, was con vened in the Freemasons' Tavern. A more impor tant assemblage of a strictly public character has not taken place for many years in the metropolis; and a more competent chairman could scarcely have been selected than the Noble Lord the President of the Royal Scciety. The unanimity and enthusiasm which were evinced by the audience, and the accla mations which greeted the speeches of Earl FITZ WILLIAM, Lord WHARNCLIFTE, Sir EDWARD COD RINGTON, Lord BEAUMONT, and Sir CHARLES NA rIER, sufficiently attested the cordiality with which the citizens of Great Britain engaged in the discussion of the predatory conduct pursued by the imperial rob bers of St. Petersburg!' and Vienna towards the last remnant of heroic but unfortunate Poland. Pos sessing the privilege of holding public meetings of a political kind at pleasure, and possessing this extra ordinary privilege almost exclusively in Europe, it is always a subject of gratulation when the English people avail themselves of it, but especially when the object of their convocation is one of such a noble and sublime description. Since the first villanous partition of Poland the sympathies of Englishmen have never been so emphatically enunciated as they were on Tuesday evening in the large hall in Great Queen street. Every scornful allusion to the division of the spoil of the Polish territories was " epplauded to the echo;" every resolution of an earnest and positive character was passed with acclamation ; every expres sion of sorrow for the evil destinies of the Poles, and of indignation at the barbarian villanies of their insi dious neighbours, was responded to with a propor tionate enthusiasm ; and of these allusions, of these resolutions, of these sorrowful and indignant ex pressions, there were abundance ! We presume that as this is the first meeting which has yet been held in reference to the seizure of Cracow, it cannot be the last; as the invasion of that neutral republic is un paralleled in the records of political atrocity, so should the utterance of the latent wrath of such a community as that of Great Britain be unparalleled in the history of constitutional states. The com mencement has been adventured upon, let the good labour for the promotion of civilisation and the universal spread of liberty be consummated ! Lord BEAUMONT spoke with so much eloquence on proposing the third resolution, that we should scarcely be fulfilling the duties of a discerning journalist were we to make no direct reference to his observations. There was no glowing over the hard truths which are alone deducible from this profligate spoliation, there was no connivance at the petty pre judices of an oligarchical character, there was nothing feeble or indefinite in the harangue uttered by that Noble Lord. Scanning not merely the vast ness of Continental Europe, but the extension of Time, Lord BEAUMONT estimates the consequences of this deed both upon the lesser principalities of the globe, and upon future generations. Rising in indignation as the full atrocity of the transaction unfolded itself before his imagination, the Noble Lord supposes that the principle proclaimed by the Northern Powers was carried into operation with im partiality, namely, thatthe nations of Europe generally regarded the violated treaty of Vienna as a dead letter, and acted accordingly. We might, then, he proceeds, slay the aggressors with their own weapons of destruction ; we might become the rigid scrutineers of the map as it is now delineated; we might interrogate Austria what she did south of the Carpathian Alps ? why she mingled her guttural accents with the soft tones of sunny Italy ?' we might, demand of Russia, why she has reached the limits of 'Moldavia? why, from the steppes and glaciers of Siberia she has pene- trated to the shores of the Mediterranean, " blowing with her cold breath on the western coast ?" We might finally conquer them by the emphasis of their own logic, and the keenness of their own swords. We are rejoiced that Lord BEAUMONT spoke thus explicitly, and that the meet ing which he addressed evinced such a ready co-oper- ation in a cause so intimately blended IvA the pro. ' greys of nations and the development of knowledge. If a similar spirit continue to be displayed it is im possible to conjecture but that inestimable good may result from apparent evil, and that from the final spolitition of Poland may arise the permwent advan tage of humanity, as there is a virtue hu the oozings of a wounded gum-tree. W e some time since asserted that landed property in Ireland still constituted as good a security for the several charges and incumbrances by which it is affected as it has ever been ; that, although the pro prietors may have been subjected to temporary incon venience and embarrassment, there was no real cause why they should fear any undue depreciation in the value of their estates ; that cre di tors allould not by any harsh or oppressive -proceedings, . e have received the Paris papers of Monday. The Presse, which on Sunday had vapouxed away about the impossibility of any reconciliation taking place between the Marquis of NOR MANDY and M. GUIZOT, and which had even gone so far as to threaten the Minister with its opposition, should he dare to think of again meeting the Ambassador oa friendly terms, is reluctantly forced to admit that such reconciliation did take place on Saturday through the intervention of the Count D'APPONY; but it comforts itself with the idea that the first advances came from the Marquis of NORMANDY. This fact, if fact it be, is highly creditable to the Mar quis of NORMANBY, and proves that he himself feels that his conduct has been right throughout this affair. In all personal differences, the party who feels that he is wrong is afraid to make any advances towards a recon ciliation, lest by so doing he should, if they were re jected, damage his position. It is the party who is in the right, and that party alone, that can afford to make such advances. The following is the account given of this transaction by the Journal des Debats : "Circumstances which are sufficiently known for it not to be necessary for us to recall them to mind, and irespecting which we have imposed upon ourselves a reserve which we are far from regretting, had caused a momentary inter ruption in the relations of the English Ambassador with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of France. It was earnestly to be desired, for the good relations of the two Govern ments and the dignity of their representatives, that an end should be put to this state of things. We think we can announce with certainty that it has received a solution alike honourable to both parties. If we aro well informed, the English Ambassador, on. Friday, requested the Ambassador of A ustr i a to act as a mediator, in order to bring about an a ccommodation between him and M. Guizot, and to assume the initiative of a step entirely conci liatory, and of a aature to terminate their difference. The Minister of Foreign Affairs is said to have replied to this initiative by authorising Count d'Appony to declare, as he had constantly said, eines the sitting of the Chamber of De puties of the sth of February, and even in the speech deli vered by him in that sitting, that he had ne ver i ntended to question the good faith or sincerity of the English Ambssa dor. M. Guizot, it is added, on this occasion recalled to mind the following passage of that speech, which we think it right to reproduce :--‘ After the question of neces sity comes that of l o y a ute. I bring this forward, gen tlemen, with regret. I have never, on my own account, in culcated the intentions or the good faith of any person. When I discuss with adversaries, foreign or native, I see only in what I discuss errors, and a good or a bad policy ; but I never impute to any person either bad faith or qe/oyauti. This course is commanded by the freedom and dignity of diplomatic relations, as well as those of Parliamentary dis cussion ; and however different the conduct observed to wards me may be, and whoever may be the persons who practise it, I shall neither change my maxim nor my prac tice on this subject.' The English Ambassador, on his side, is said to have previously declared to Count d'Appony that he never had, on the occasion of the soiree given by him on the 19 t h o f February, the intention to do anyth i ng which could b e i mproper or .offensive towards the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and lie disavowed all the reports which had been circulated on this subject. Things having been thus explained, as became the mutual dignity of the two parties, M. Guizot and L or d N orman b y met, on S atur d ay evening, at live o'c:oek, at the Austrian Ambassador's, and resumed, without further expl ana ti ons , th e i r mu tual relations. It i s only with the intention of being useful to the re-establish ment of good harmony and to prevent erroneous comments, that we have thought it necessary to state th e se facts thus briefly ; and we hope that there wi:l remain no trace of an incident which had already occupied the public mind too long." This is of course to be regarded as M. GUIZOT'S offi cial account. The following, which appears in Galig nani's Messenger, is more likely to be a correct version of the circumstances:— " We are happy to state that the difference which existed between M. Guizot and Lord Normanby has been arranged. This fact will give pleasure, not merely to the true friends of the parties in question, but also to the public at large, as it removes a sources of considerable anxiety, and puts an end to the difficulties which had arisen in the official intercourse of DEPARTURE OF THE COURT _.,2% TES (ENGLAND AND WALEN)—The amount of all rates (other than Poor-rates) levied in England and Wales, iu the year 1843, (as shown by a large Par liamentary volume, printed and issued on Friday), was 1,575,573/. 153. 10d. Of this, 1,531,150/. 12s. Bid. was levied in England, and the rest in Wales. Of this sum, 254,068 1 . was the amount received from Church rates in England. and 8,601/. in Wales. The total amount, other than for the relief of the poor, expended in 1843 was 706,304/. in England and Wales. Of this total, 12,045/. were the amount of registration expenses. During the same year there was expended out of the rates levied in England and.jWales 301,620/. for gaol expenses and maintenance of prisoners; 314,698/. county expenses; 69,390/. for coroners; 561,655/. county-rates; and 279,512' for the administration of justice and prosecution of prisoners. INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS FOR GLASGOW.—An at tempt is about to be made to establish industrial schools in Glasgow, for which we would bespeak the hearty co-opera tion of all sections of the benevolent public.

SALMON FISHING.—After the spate subsided which followed the breaking up of the storm in the early part of last week, there were several successive days of excellent takes of salmon in the river. At the North Inch station thirty large fish were caught within twenty-four hours, and at most of the stations down the river, the fishing was nearly as successful. At Stockgreen, in particular, there were some large hauls. On Monday twenty-four boxes were shipped for London, which is a good cargo for this period of the season, although February on the whole has been greatly be low an average, owing to the closing of the river from ice.— Perth Courier.

The Tribunal of Correctional Police in Paris, gave judgment on Saturday, in a prosecution against Madame Hahnemann, widow of the deceased Dr. Hahnemann, the homeopathist, on a charge of practising medicine without being legally qualified, The defendant had urged in her defence, that she was assisted in her practice by twe qualified physicians, and had herself obtained a diploma for a foreign college of medicine; but the tribnnal, finding from the evi dence that the two physicians were subordinate to Madame Hahnemann, and the foreign diploma which she possesses gives her no right to practice in France, without a special authorisation to that effect, declared the defendant to have violated the law, and condemned her to pay a fine of 100 f., and the costs of the suit. EFFECTS OF NEGRO EMANCIPATION.—The slaves constituted formerly the wealth of the planters; now, as free and remunerated labourers, they are the &nil of our island commerce, and as such are the wealth of the merchants. Let us look back at the commercial revolution which has taken place in Trinidad since the dawn of freedom. The signs of comparative wealth among the labouring people everywhere appear. The great change of their condition has greatly stimulated trade of every description. Mechanics of every class have increased a hundred fold among the lower order of society; these are rapidly rising into respectability and wealth, and promise at no very distant day to act an important part in the internal trade and affairs of the colony. In consequence of the possession of money by the people, our island imports have increased to a surprising extent, in the course of a few years.— Trinidad Spectator. DIETARY FOR PERSONS SINKING FOR WANT OF FOOD, OR AFFECTED WITH DYSENTERY, ARISING FROM WANT.— Recommended by Sir Philip Crampton, one of the very,_ highest medical auth or i t i es i n this or any other coun try, for the information of persons to whom the distribution of supplies of food may be intrusted. The following preps. ration has been found eminently serviceable in such cases: —l. Rice. -2. Sago. -3. Arrowroot; of each a pound.-4. Candle Alba, a coarse and cheap kind of cinnamon, and a valuable tonic, half an ounce. Boil slowly in a sufficient quantity of water, until the whole is reduced to a thickish jelly; sweeten with lump sugar. and season with port wine, in the proportion of two table-spoonsful to each half-pint of the jelly; add, when diarrhsea or dysentery is present, thirty drops of laudanum to the quantity of jelly consumed in twenty-four hours by an adult. An infant under one year old should not take more than two drops of laudanum three times in the course of twenty-four hours, at intervals of not less than four hours; five drops every six hours may be considered as an average dose for a person from ten to twenty years of age.

Yesterday morning her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the royal infants and suite, left town fur Osborne House via the South-Western Railway. Shortly before ten o'clock the magnificent carriage, erected specially for her Majesty's use, was placed on the line. Three first class carriages were also in requisition for the use of the household, and the directors of the company ' who attended her Majesty to the termination of the journey. A carpet was placed over a por tion of the platform railed off for the reception of her Majesty on her passage to the carriage. On this several of the directors were assembled. At ten o'clock precisely, a carriage, containing some of the domestics came up, and within five minutes after, her Majesty, escorted by a body of Lancer., arrived at the station. The first carriage contained the Queen, Prince Albert, the Princess Royal, and the Prince of Wales; the others contained the Lords and Ladies in Waiting, the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, Prince Alfred, the Princesses Alice and Helena, and several members of the household; within five minutes after the train was in motion and proceeding on the journey. We are happy to say that her Majesty and her Royal Consort looked extremely well, and that the Princes and Princesses also appeared in good health and spirits. SOYER'S CHEAP SOUP. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—For those who have the chance of procuring a (ew potatoes once a week, they may be used with advan tage in the following manner:— No. 3. POTATO SOUP. Having prepared tie soup according to recipe No. 2 (already published), when nearly done, wash half a pound of potatoes, pick out the black •pots, if any, and cut them in small dice, put them into the soup to boil for twenty minutes, or a little longer, until done; then put a quarte r of a pound of common flour into a stewpan, moistene with a gill of cold water, so as to form a liquid pasted stir it in the soup .quickly with a spoon; let it bot another five minutes, and the soup is ready, and w ill strongly taste of potato, the short time of ebullition pre-1 ser►ing all the aroma of that inconstant root. Having promised to make my receipts public, for the benefit of the laborious class of society, I think that if a roan could treat his family once a week with a food called potato soup, each member of it, who had previously fed on that root, and who are now nearly deprived of that food, would worship the day of the week when such a luxury should be displayed on their humble table. No. 4, PEI SOUP. Have a quarter of a pound of fat bacon, if none, take leg of beef, veal, or pork, cut it into dice, peel and slice two good sized onions, or three small ones, fry them with the meat until lightly brown, then add half a pound of vegetables, either carrots or turnips, well washed, but not peeled, also leeks, or any other vegetables, which you fry gently; then add one pound of yellow peas, pre viously soaked some hours, and eight quarts of water, three ounces of salt, half an ounce of brown sugar; let the whole boil gently for two hours, stirring it now and then. Put into a stewpan half a pound of common flour, mixed into a liquid paste, quite smooth, with cold water, and pour it into your soup, stirring the contents with a wooden spoon, so as to mix it well; boil again a quarter of an hour, and serve. Since I gave publication to my two first receipts, I found that all those soups, if made the day before, and warmed up the day following, they not only are much improved in quality, but also in quantity, merely re quiring to be warmed slowly, and stirred now and then before using. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Reform Club, Feb. 27. A. SOYER. I R, DUBLIN UNIVERSITY. A more appropriate theme could scarcely have been selected for the opening article in a political periodical than the', afforded by the " Character and Career of M. Guizot." And it is appropriate in a lamentable manner, seeing that it is elicited by the odium excited against the Prime Minister of France by his dishonourable and un principled conduct. Never had a statesman risen from the people with fairer opportunities to render himself the idol of his fellow -countrymen by his patriotism and the ad miration of foreign nations by the decision and rectitude of his policy. Those opportunities have been squandered away. Guizot is now utterly beggared in reputation. As an historian, as a journalist, as an orator, he possessed a deserved fame ; as a statesman, as a diplomatist, as a minister, he has acquired a note very little removed from the infamous. So let it be ! Let the ruins of that once enviable celebrity be the everlasting beacon of his successors ; let the opp ro b r i um with wich he is now universally regarded be a warning to the selfishly ambi tious. From the masterly contrast given by M. Corme yin, under the soubriquet of Timon, of Guizot and Thiers, we would, did an opportunity present itself, give copious extracts, but we shall content ourselves with reviewing the recollection of that final and mournful exclamation in the " Livre des Orateurs"—" Both" (meaning Guizot and Thiers) " humiliating spectacle I wrought furiously for the dry bones of office, concealed within the red morocco portfolio, and then after this noble struggle, the victor goes and licks the feet of his master !" It is this deplorable subserviency to the wishes of Louis Philippe, however much those wishes may be opposed to the interests of the nation that have rendered both of these eminent and gifted men so little honoured abroad, and so feebly seconded in France. William Carletorecommences another story, now that his powerful fiction of the " Black Prophet," is completed. The present is entitled " O'Sullivan's Love ; a Legend of Edenmore." Remembering the mag• nificent Hermes Hymns, as rendered by the poet Shel ley, we are somewhat amazed at the temerity of Mr. Kenealy in attempting another translation of " Homer's Hymns to Herm es." The learning of this admirable classical student, and his graceful facility as a metrical translator, have redeemed him, however, from the simple charge of rashness. Mr. Kenealy has drank deep draughts of poetry from the numbers of the old Grecian, and he cheunts the story of Mercury and his wily doings in melodious rhythm, with a cadence of full and beau tiful melody. " Irish Records," being a national subject of peculiar importance, will be perused with interest. We cordially rejoice in the tone of the critical article upon "Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton's Lucretia," and we do so from the peculiar honesty and vigour with which the review is penned. The writer stigmatises with indignation the attempt which is being made just now to "run down" Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, and expresses his conviction that the press in so doing is in error. O ne passage we must quote. "We hav e , says the reviewer, " all our countrymen's love of flair play; and if his (Sir E. B. L,'a) literary reputation is to be run down, let it be in fair and manly combat, by men of education, thoughtful, serious men, who are competent to form an opiuicn, and not by the random stroke of insignificant scribblers, and the senseless vituperation of mercenary critics, whose daily bread, perhaps, depends upon the countenance of the journal, in the columns of which they are paid so much a line for their venal abuse." Strong as this lan guage is, it is in a very great measure justified by the monstrous and indecorous course taken by certain divisions of the press in regard not merely to Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton but to another illustrious and extraordinary writer, we allude to Mr. Charles Dickens. In the very zenith of their fame, while their intellects are most vigorous, and their genius is acknowledged not merely by multitudes in England, but throughout Continental Europe, and beyond the Atlantic, a sudden onslaught is made upon the literary reputation of each. We have all heard of Aristides. The inference is obvious. It is satisfactory to think that these abusive attacks, even if tripled in volume and frequency, would prove altogether ineffectual in diminishing the admiration of the judicious million for Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, and especially for Charles Dickens, than whom no writer ever enlisted or deserved more of the affections of the people. With a hideous likeness of Mrs. James Gray, and one or two biographical sketches, the magazine is completed. THE ECCLECTIC REVIETV. To those who ha ve nut pa i d scrupulous attention to the involutions and s i nuus i t i es of the French diploma tists in their recent peninsular contrivances, the paper called " The whole Truth on the Spanish Marriages," will prove a convenient retnembrancer. To e ver y one elseit will be w orse t h an superfluous. We are heartily fatigued with the repetitions of the old disgusting story which have been published again and again usgtte ad nauseant. It was remarked by one of the Parisian press, that the articles written on one day about a single docu ment on the Spanish correspondence, would form three octavo volumes. Wo believe the calculation to have been no exaggeration, and regarding it as only partially correct, we must come to the conclusion that all that has been written upon the question since the famous midnight inter viewbetween Isabellaand the Afroneesadoministers,wolild form a very respectably siz d library. Notwithstanding this, another article and another ccmes like the spectral kings before Macbeth, until we are nearly as demented as the Than e o f C aw d or an d Gl amm i s . " S out h :—lns Biography rad writings," is a change so agreeable :hat it almost soars into the lively by . comparison.
