ADVICE. —When Men of Education and professional skill use persevering endeavours to discover the most safe and certain method of treating a few prevailing diseases, the successful result of their expe rience is the best proof of superiority. Messrs. GOSS and Co., Surgeons, have been induced to make the cure of the following the object of their par ticular study, viz., a certain disorder, frequently contracted in a moment of intoxication, and its concomitants, Stric tures and Gleets, which, by an improved plan, are speedily and effectually cured ; as also debility, whether arising from Bacchanalian indulgences, long residence in warm climates, or a secret solitary vice, too often unhappily pur sued by the youth of both sexes, in the one causing steri lity or barrenness, and in the other a numerous train of nervous diseases, which, if not timely remedied, term nates in impotence and consumption. In that distressing state of debility or deficiency, whether the consequence of such baneful habits, or arising from any other course; by which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, as regularly educated Surgeons of London, they offer a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigorous health. Messrs. Goss and Co., exclusively professing the cure of these particular complaints, in order that they may not be, by a mist 'ken few, marked with the obloquy so justly attached to the ignorant empiric, think it but justice to themselves to state, that they have beep properly educated and initiated into every branch of the profession (certifi sates of Which, from different HOSPITALS, and testi monials from the most eminent Professors, they have to convince any inquirer) that the success resulting from their endeavours first induced tl.em to quit the practice of the gener.l practitioner; and they presume that their preten sions constitute a fair ground for the unprecedented confi dence with whick they have, by the Public, been so libe rally honoured. The result of a long and ex►ensive practice lila enabled them, by a superior method, to remove Venereal Com plaints however inveterate or complicated, without sub jecting the Patient to the least restraint in diet or exer cise ; and in recent cases, where an early application is Made on discovery of the infection, they frequently perform a cure in the short space of a few days. The unprece dented success of their mode of treatment, which has never been known to fail in one single instance in a practice of twenty years, during which period many thousand persons of both sexes have been cured, even after severe and inju rious methods had been pursued by other practitioner without effect, induces them to thus publicly offer their advice. To be consulted daily, by Patients of either Sex, with secrecy, e I I caoy, and attention.—Letters from the country, containing the particulars of the case, enclosim; a remit tance, duly attended to, and Advice and Medicine for warded to any part of the world.

Troubridge, Birt., having returned from his Parliamentary duties on Tuesday night, has resumed the command of the Stag, 4.4, and sailed yesterday for the Wr , tern hl mda. The Anr. , ra, having been prepared as a depot for coals. for the supply of the attain packet, at Fit ~,,, tith, will start for that port as soon as a steam-ve•sel can b. found avail able to attend her to the westward. In Ham av—San Joseph, Romney, Echo steam-vessel, Dilikence, Indu•try. and Hope transports. In the ttinund—Caledonia, At tin. Island—Leveret. Vessels are t acing alp in this port for Don Pedro, to The Ripe transport, Lieutenant Ryder, agent, arrived on Friday with naval stores for this yard, from Portsmouth and Chatham. The 31.Ivi!le, 74, Ciptain H. Hart, with the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir Jw , r2 Gore, arrived at Teneriffe on the 3.1 instant, on her voyage to India, in seven days front Fahnou,h. The Maidstone frigate, Commodore Schomberg, left the Cape of Good Hope on the sth of Jinuary for the Brazils, and then to proce.al to England. The Reinha de Portugal, with Admiral Sartorius on board, captured the Valente, Oliveira, proceeding from Lisbon to Liverpool, and conveyed her to St. Michaels. Capt. Symonds will enter upon the office of Surveyor of the Navy on the 31st inst. It is said that the Trafalgar, of 120 guns, and the Bos cawen, of 80 guns, now in frame, in Woolwich Yard, and nearly ready I,r planking, are to be pulled to pieces, and relramed on the plan of Captain Symonds. The after part of the larger ship was lately taken down and altered on Mr. Lang's plan. The Trafalgar is intended to have 60 feet b'am, and the Boscawen about three feet less. The Castor frigate, on a scantling a little larger than the old Endymion, and to nriunt only 36 guns, all 32- pounders, will shortly be launched at Chattiam.—She is on the construction of Sir Robert Seppings, and will be com missioned immediately, to be tried against Capt. Symonds' frigate the Vernon; the quantity of timber required for building the Vernon, at Woolwich, has been supplied from other yards. Every practicable dispatch is being used in expediting the building of this ship; between two and three hundred st•ipwrights, besides blacksmiths and others, are almost exclusively employed on her. The Zebra arrived at Sydney, New South Wales from Madras and Swan River, 21st October, and sailed for New Zealand, 2d November. ACTORS.—The most pleasant feature in the profession of a player, and which is peculiar to it, is, that we not only admire the talents of those who admire it, but we con tract a personal intimacy with them. There is no class of so ciety whom so many persons regard with affection as actors. We greet them on the stage ; we like to meet them in the streets ; they always recall to us pleasant associations ; and we feel our gratitude excited, without the uneasiness of a sense of obligation. The very gaiety and popularity, however, which surrounds the life of a favourite performer, makes the retiring from it a very serious business. It glances a mortifying re flection on the shortness of human life and the vanity of human pleasures. Something reminds us, that " all the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players."—Haxlitt. Extract of a letter, dated Vienna, March 17 : " According to despatches from Constantinople, the English Ambassador, Mr. Stratford Canning, has had several confer ences with the Reis Effendi, in which the Russian Ambassador and the French Charge d'Affaires were present. The last, which was on the of February, continued five hours. This proves the fallacy of the reports of the Russian Ambassador not feeling himself authorized to support the proposals of England. 'These have in view to fiT the new line of demarcation which on the east is to commence from the mouth of the river Ellada, in the Gulf of Zeitouni, following the course of the river, and the ridge of the mountains of Ceta to the river Arta, which it is to pursue to its mouth. It is confidently stated that this proposi tion, which has been attended with an offer of a pecuniary in demnity has not been refused by the Reis-Effendi, and that there is every reason to believe that the negociation will be successful. Greece then on the east will retain the boundary fixed by the Duke of Wellington's Administration, but will gain on the west the most extended limit traced by the Protocol of the 22d March, 1tt29." ATTAINDER OF LORD EDWARD FITZ GERAUL—Another act, understood to emanate personally from th e Regent, and creditable to his feelings, was passed at the same time, to reverse the attainder of Lord Edward Fitzgerald. It would be little becoming to detract from the generosity and gra ce of this proceeding of the late Kin g , thou gh it is wonder ful that royal acts of g race are so easy, so eulogized, and so few. The attainder itself, passed by the Irish Parliament, was an in stance of complaisant servility and infamous judgment worthy of the French convention, or the senate of Nero. Lord Ed ward was dead of his wounds some months, when he was sub jected to a mockery of trial in the persons of his children, by the faction which then held execrable sway in Ireland. Mr. Curran appeared at the bar of the Irish House of Commons as cpunsel against the Bill, " I hare no defensive evidence," said that unrivalled advocate and true patriot, whose eloquence and patriotism were both of the heart ; " I have no cause—it is impossible I should. I have often of late gone to the dun. geon of the captive, but never yet have I gone to the grave o f the dead for instructions to defend him ; nor, in truth, have I ever before assisted at the trial of a dead man." The epithets " gallant " and " unfortunate" are those commonly applied to Lord Edward Fitzgerald. Ile who has discarded every ad v , tage in the highest range of vulgar ambition, for the most ge. nerous of all inspirations, and the most perilous of all missions, and who has been faithful and brave, loved and lamented in his life and death, should not be called unfortunate,......De.

Mr. Mayhew, the solicitor to the commission said that there could be no doubt of the validity o' t' e commission. Out of seven trial- that had take, lace two decisions only had been given against the commission, and those not upon the facts and merits of the case, but upon points of law. The Ailiole of the re-olutions, except one, were, we be lieve, unanimously agreed to, Mr. Hamilton some- Imes excepted. Mr. Coartenay, the deputy-clerk of Parliament, was in the chair, and the number of creditors pre sent was about .50. As the creditors entered the room, a statement, (which we gave yesterday), drawn up, we be lieve. by the opponents of the commission, was put into their hands. Of course we did not give it a authentic, but merely as showing the views taken of the matter in this long-contested commission. In Ole course of the day it was mentioned that the Northaw estate lad been sold by unction for 2,800/. and this bef.are any objection was made to the Die sum given for it by Mr. Chambers was under 1,0001. If this be taken as a specimen of the ac curacy of the statement, the credits would certainly appear to be much exaggerated, but we give it as we find it. rig was strapped round his body ; his stick lay near he body. John Ormond had seen the prisoner for the la:t =ix months about the cabin. He Rub:i.teil on the , harity of the collier., and whatever the gentlemen .1' the country gave him. He saw the body of the •ecea:ed. The right-hand glove was tightly clinched in the left hand. He assisted in taking away the body, and went in search of the prisoner. He found him at about nine o'clock in the morning at Abbeyvale. As soon as he came sip to him he gave him a blow, which he (witness) returned. He took prisoner in a chiti:e to Nantygld. He was brought into the room where the body was. Wit ness asked prisoner did he know the deceased, and if he had killed him. Prisoner answered both questions in the affirmative. Witness asked him " for what ?" Prisoner replied that the p.istman had come into the cabin and said bwrrw gwilan, an expression which means it rains hard, and that the postman lighted his pipe of tobacco, and he (the pri soner) a-ked him for half a pipe of tobacco, and the postman, instead of giving him any, struck him on he head, and he (prisoner) then stiuck the postman with the-iron bar. He asked him did the deceased cry our. Prisoner said that he only moved hi: head. Several witnesses came forward, and deposed to the insanity of the prisoner. The Jury found him guilty of Manslaughter, and the Learned JUDGE sentenced him to transportation for life. WARWICK ASSIZES, MARCH 28. (PRICE 71) NE ‘k SP PERS. There are 11,755,525 !ling and 4,282,000 E ven . ing Papers putdisi,ed every year in London, making a tot,. of 16.040.525. The daily publications, therefore, amouni to 4:3 947 per diem. This heirs a very ,mill proporrio to a population of 24,000,000 of people, and when we r• • fl-ct that in every part of the United Kingdom one o• more of the Papers are to be mei with, and that a great number are dispatched to our Gdonirs, as well as t o rh, Continent and Vie Unit , d States it is difficult to conceis that the numbers printed could be so ' , mill. The tax.- p,i'd to Governmeir upon the Press of London alone ex seeds the revenue of one-half at the petty states of Get• mane, Swi-zerland, and the north of Italy, and it is ego , ' to the whole capital and property of kingd. , ms for whirl Eogland has gone to war and sacrificed her millions Although the taxes paid by the Press of Lord 'n is greatei than the revenues of so many stares upon the Continent it is not lia:f sufficient to pay the pensions and s'necure• of the British Government, nor does it amount to on , tithe of the j..bs, direct and indirect, which the last Tor) Administration has entailed upon our people. NORWICH ASSIZES, MARCH 29. Luke Cullen was indicted for having, with two other unlawfully entered a wood, called Brooks wood, the property of the late Rev. Thorny Holme=, on the night of the 11th of December last, for the purpose of de,troying game. He was also charged with assaulting Mr. Holmes' gamekeeper, named Harrad. After a trial of no great interest, the prisoner was 'ound Guilty. KINGSTON ASSIZES, MARCH 29. James Purdue, aged 22, labourer, was indicted for a higlmay robbery, on the sth of March, at Weybridge. The prosecutor the Rev. Paul Ash more, curate of Weybridge. On the sth of March he had been out to dinner, and was returning home about half-past eleven at night. lie crossed the frrry at Shepperton. On his landing on the Surrey side of the river, he proceeded homewards across a field. Whea near a hedge, he was attacked by two persons, who threw him down, knelt on him, robbed him of eight sovereigns and a half and a gold watch, and ran away. The Rev. Gentleman got up and went home. Next day the prisoner, who is son to the ferrryman, went to a public-house at Shepper ton, and in the presence of a witness, Latimer, said " I topped the old b--'s breath, he will not preach clear any more. I have ten sovereigns, and %%id soon have a new punt." Another witness, Clements, negatived this evidence, and swore posi tively that he himself was the person ho spoke against the " parsons," and that his words were, " D—n all poisons; robbieg them is no harm ; they lob all the pari hes ;" and that his words were spoken in joke. There was no further evidence.— Verdier, N o r Guit y. Eliza Jarman was capitally indicted for the mur der of ht r child, at K tig4on on the 4th of Jan. last. The prisoner, a young woman, aged 21, came into the service of Dr. Hircouri, at Ewell, in In t wt., boxes with her. She had been in the house about a week, when a fellow-servant perceived a must horrible smell proceed from one of the boxes, upon opening it to see what it contained, she found a bundle in which was the corpse of a mule child in a slate of putrefaction. She immediately in fotmed her master and mistress. The prisoner was taken into custody. Site confrssed to be ng mo.her of the child, of which she said she had been deli vered seven wet•ks, and had brought it from Kog ston with her to Ewell. The mouth of the child was stuffed full of paper. SFle was sentenced to twelve months' hard labour. Francex Warner, aged 29, was indicted fur desert ing tier female infant child on the 14i h March inst. at Ctmberweil•grove. She confessed to the police-officer that the child was tier's. She was greatly affected during the trial. Verdict—Guilty. Sentenced to twelve months hard labour. LAUNCESTON, MARCH 27, Henry Bright and George Penrose were charged with having obtained 10-. from Francis Richards, by putting him in bodily fear. Francis Richards, and old man, occupied a toll. house, near Truro. On the 13th of November he was awoke by a rumbling noise at the door; he then tumbled out of bed, and asked what was the matter. One said he had lost his horse. Witness went to the window, when he saw Bright on the top of the door porch. He broke in one pane of glass. Wit ness cried " murder." One said to the other, " Take out a pistol and shoot him." There were three men in all. Witness cried murder so much that he was hoarse for some days after They said they wanted money, as they were broken down. Witness said, " My dear men, I returned the money yesterday that I collected, but I have gut 10s. and a few pence left." They then tried with all the r might to break ID the door. Witness took the 10s., wrapped it in his night-cap, and gave it into Bright's hands as he sat upon the porch. When They went away, one said, " Good night, old man." I was afraid of my life ; John Walters had drank tea with witness about a fortnight before; he asked him fur water and bit of bread ; the wi ness said, " My dear man, cold water is cold comfort; stop a few minutes, 1 am going to have a cup of tea, sit down and have some with me," and he did so. John Walters (an accomplice) coi.firmed portions of the evider:ce of the last witness, and clearly brought the offence home to the prisoners. The Learned JUDGE then summed up, and the Jury found both the prisoners Guilty.—Death re corded. MONMOUTH ASSIZES, MARCH 27. RAY V. MOGGRIDGE. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a working blacksmith, against the defendant, a Ma gis►rate of the county, for false imprisonment. The Jury found for the plaintiff 30/. damages. OHARGE OF MURDER. Thomas Recs was indicted for the wilful murder of David D,lvies, by striking him on the head with an iron bar. Wentlayan Davis was the servant of Mr. West. of the Beaufort Iron-works. She kne v the de ceased; he was at her master's house on the 12th December. He was a po,tman. lie appeared to be quite well. He had his leather bag. Piten Thomas worked at Nantygld. There was a cabin there, in which there was a fire kept for the use of the miners. He left an iron bar in it. William Wlewllyn, on the morning of the 13th of December, was at the cabin; there was a fire con ;tautly kept in it for the colliers to warm them -elves and light their candles. It WhS about four o'clock in the morning; the fire was low. After lighting his candle, he observed the body of the de ceased; the head was resting on the iron tram• He looked at it, and he saw a great wound on the back of the head. Saw an iron spanner near the body ; it bad blood and brains upon it. The post. SOLOMON V. BRADLEY. This was an action brought by Mr. John Solo mon, son of the late Dr. Solomon, who re• sided near Liverpool, against his brother-in-law, Dr. Bradley, for a libel. It appeared that the parties, notwiths.anding their relationship (the defendant being married to the plaintiff's S'R. ter), have for some time been at variance. In De cember last year, Mr. Wills, solicitor to the execu tors of the late Dr. Solomon, wrote to the defen dant to acquaint him, that in dividing the personal property of the late Mrs. Sarah Solomon, the child of Mrs. Tobias had been forgotten; and therefore the Doctor, who had received a sixth share, would have to refund a proportion towards making up a seventh share for young Tobias. To this the Doc tor replied, that such was his abhorrence of the con duct of Mr. John Solomon and his brother, in de frauding his own (defendant's) child of its just right, that he would take care and not imitate their example, but refund the money. Mr. Wills replied to this by saying that he could not receive a letter couched in •such language towards a dient of his, and therefore requesting of the defendant to call for the return of his letter, or for its destruction, other wise he (Mr. Wills) should feel himself compelled to submit the letter to Mr. Solomon. No answer having been obtained from Dr. Bradley, the letter was handed to Mr. Solomon, who brought the pre sent action. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Da mages 5/. YORK ASSIZES, MARcti 26. James Edwards was indicted for having, on the 13th day of December, 1824, at Shrewsbury, in the county of Silop, feloniously arid unlawfully termarried with one Mary Payne, his former wife, Mr.'IJARNES t;otimieted the prosecution. It appeared that in 1810 the prisoner lived at Shrewsbury, in the service of a Mr. Price, to whose illegitimate daughter the prisoner was married in the course of that year, at the parish of Si. Julian. In 1824, it was proved he married Mary Payne, at the parish of St. Chad, in the sane town. To prove that the prisoner knew that his first wife was living within seven years, the daughter of the first wife was called; but thr.re was a tr.lure of proof in identifying the first wife, and art acquittal was directed. Verdicr—Not 'ITESDAY, MARCH 27. Francis Burnett was chat gr.(' with unlawfully and maliciously setting fire to a stack of corm at Cox wold, in the North Riding, the property of George Cussons.—The Jury found the prisoner Not Guilty. Joseph Barraclough was indicted for feloniously intermarrying wi , h one Hannah Gartside, his former wife, Mary Rtrraclough, being still alive. It was proved, that on the 29th of September, 1819, the prisoner married Mary Crowther, at the parish church of Radford; and that, o►► the 27th of February, 1831, he married Hannah Gartside, at the parish church of Tong. Evidence was also given to show, that at the period of the latter mar riage the first-mentioned wife was alive. The prisoner met this charge by a very singular defence. He called a witneas to prove ►hat at the time he married Mary Crowther (the first wife men tinned in the indictment), he had another wife living; and therefore that Mary Crowther never was hts lawful wife. Mr. Joseph Lister, the witness called for this purpose, stated that he had known the prisoner from ch.ldbood. In 1806 the prtsoner wa. married to a young woman of the ►tame of Schole field, and resided with her for some years at Ghelf. Witness was not present at the marr;age, but the parties lived together as man and wife, anti their children went by the prisoner's name. Phis woman was alive, to witness's ktio.i,ledge, at the time when prisoner was married to Mary Crowther.—The Jury ound the prisoner Guilty. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS, MARCH 29. William Royal was indicted for stealing from the till of his mi.tress, Mrs. DoHand. In the course of the evidence it appeared, that money having been repeatedly missing from the shop, suspiei.in at list tell upon the Royal servant, and his mistress, deter mining to have proof positive, marked particularly a shilling, gave it to a Mt s. H,Arvey, and desired her to make some purcha-e in the shop, by which the shilling would be exchanged. The accomplic- did so ; the shilling was placed in the till as usual, hut was subsequently abstracted, and found in the pocket of he prisoner. MN. Harvey deposed to the mark of the shilling, and her leaving it in the shop ; she is a married woman, but did not know the reason why the money was marked. Mr. BARRY—Is not your name Mills?—Witness : No, Sir, not now; it might have been once. I told you I am married.—(Laughter.) Mr. BARRY—How many times have you been married ?—I don't know, Sir. Mr. BARRY—You don't mean to say so, do you I really do mean it, Sir.—(Laughter.) The CHAIRMAN—Let us know how this is ; you must know how often you have been married own to twice. The CHAIRMAN—Perhaps, then, there are some others of which you have some doubt ?—(Loud laughter.)—Th e witness smiled a reply. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. The CHAIRMAN said he had little doubt that the pris oner h ad for a long time b een p l u ndering his too confiding mistress. He therefore sentenced him to be transported for seven years.

This desultory work is nowbrought to a con clusion. It is as lively as ever, and in its de scriptions of English manners just as much tainted with prejudice. Prince Puckler Muskat', on whose cranium we are surprised Mr. Devine, the phrenologist, did not, when his Highness consulted him, find the organ of self-conceit as big as an ostrich's egg, rarely misses an oppor tunity of alluding to his very superior talents. He looks abroad on the rest of his species from the towering heights of his own intellect ; and, consequently, finds them all dwindled in the distance. In our aristocracy he finds little or nothing to praise ; in our lower orders about as much ; of the middle classes alone has he a word to say in commendation, and this he says in a very starveling, niggardly spirit. Still we cannot deny that his book is amusing, for it abounds in incident, anecdote, and strange out-of-the-way' touches of character. The Prince, as we have already observed, is a close observer of men and things—and where his prejudices do not interfere to cloud his better judgment, may be safely re lied on. We select a few extracts at random : The rich Lady L--, with whose ' black diamonds' her complexion forms the most age-eable contrast, and whose ' air chrtlimne' is quite original, showed me her bazaar this morning. It is no coo.mon one, for it con tained jewels to the amount of 300,000 reichsthalers. The whole boudoir ft 11 of perfumes, fl 'were, and rarities, the ' clair obscur' of rose-coloured curtains, and the Mar chioness herself in a dress of yellow gauze, reclined on her chaise longue plongee dans une (lout, langueur ;' it was a pretty picture of • refinement.' Diamonds and pearls, pens and ink, books, letters, toys, and seats, and an unfi nished purse, before her. Among the seals, two were piquant, from their contrast—the one from Lord Byron:— " Love will find its way, Where wolves would fear to stray." The other says, with true French, ' philosophie,' Tout lame, tout cerise, taut passe.' Nothing. however, was so commin in the house as portraibt o the Erne Alev au,. is nose image uses tuna !nutty lea y grati tude. Her husband was ambassador there, and used his English prerogative to its lull extent. Once he boxed with a • fiacre' driver : another time he presented the Archduchess, and, if I mistake not, the Empress herself, to his wife, instead of the reverse ; then he ran into the kitchen to stab his cook for having offended the Mar , chioness: enfin, it faisait la pluie et le beau tems a V— ; ou plutor l'orage et Is grele.' " Just conceive how disvpointed' the poor lady roust be, after so long ruling on the Continent, mAlgre seri diamans son rang, et as jolie mine,' not to be able to be really and truly fashionable. But this arirocracy o r tdshion is more diffictilt to attain to t an the highest ranks of freemasonry, and touch more capricious than that ye. nerahle institution, though both alike make something out of nothing." a a • a • a P " The first Almack's ball took place this evening ; and from all I had h. a ti of this celebrated assembly, I was really curious to see it ; hut n-ver were my expectations so disappoin'ed. It was not much better than at Brighton. A large bare to to, with a had floor, and ropes around it. like the space in an Arab camp parted off for the horses ; t p : ,.en o rye o is r netro t , t ed i w re h e tiht s ,eh nal n which, spite imtetwak of the rooms ett l heeheidmriie, f: a ne t pe,h t m h d e s eiffin tmc i u d ;i e :yano i d n i ga tr eot lie , tiiim ng tickets, a great many Nobodies' had wriggled; in which the dress was gen,raliy as tasteless as the tournure' wa bad ; this was all. In a word, a sort of inn-entertain ment—the music and the lighting the only goal thing.. And yet Alma, k's is the culminating point of the English world of fashion. " This overstrained simplicity had, however; original!) amo ire. People of real fashion wished to oppose some. thing extremely cheap to the monstrous ' finite' of the rich 1).1 -vent's ;' while the institution of lady-patronesses. without whose approbation no one could be admitted. would render it inaccessible to them. Money and bail company (in the aristocratical sense of the wetd) have, however, forced their way ; and the only characteris, which has been retained is the unseemly place, which 1- not unlike the • local' of a shooting all in our latg , towns, and forms a most ludicrous contrast with the gene ril splendour anti luxury of England." This is a tolerable accurate description of an animated debate in the House of Commons. Canning, however, is better pourtrayed than Brougham. The debate this evening was moreover of the hi..h. interest. Most of the former Mini.ters have, as y. t. know, resigned : among th in, some of the most influen thil men in England, and (since Napoleon and Blucher's death) the greatest Commander in Europe. Caniiitir the champion of the liberal party, has defected this Mi nistry, and is, spite of all their efforts, become head the new one, the formation of which was left to him, ac cording to the usual custom here. But the whole powei of the exasperated ultra-aristrocacy and their dependant. presses upon nim ; and even one of his most particulai friends, a commoner like himself, is among the resigning Ministers, awl has joined the hostile party. This gentle man (Mr. Peel) to-day opened the attack, in a long ant clever speech, though full of repetition. It would heat me too far, and greatly exceed the bounds of a correspon dence like ours, were 1 to go into the details of the present political questions. My object is only to give you an idea of the tactic with which, on the one side, the leader of the new Opposition headed the attack, and was followed by several more obscure combatants, who planted a stroke here and there ; while on the other, the old Opposition the Whigs, who now support the liberal Rlinistry with all their might, mere skilfully commenced with their mus. ketry, and reserved the heavy fire of their great gun, Brougham. In a magnificent speech which flowed an like a clear stream, he tried to disarm his opponent; now tor tured him with sarcasms ; now taking a higher flight, wrought upon the sensibility, or convinced the reason of his hearers. I must attempt to give you a specimen of this extraordinary piece of eloquence. " The orator closed with the solamn declaration, thafhe was perfectly impartial ; that he could be impartial ; for that it was his fixed determination never, and on no terms, to accept a place in an Administration of these kingdoms. " I had never heard and admired Brougham before. No man ever spoke with greater fluency—hour after hour. in a clear unbroken stream of eloquence, with a floe and distinct organ, riveting the attention, without once halt ing, or pausing, without repeating, recalling, or mistaking a wort"; defects which frequently deform Mr. Pe- I'. Brougham speaks as a good reader reads from a book. Nevertheless, it seems to me that yen perceive only extraordinary talent, formidable pungent Wit, and ire preeent* of mind—the heart-warming power .if ue such as flows from Cannine's tongue, he possesses, . i n y opinion, in a far lower degree. '' Canning, the hero of the day, now raft. U his prede ‹essior might b: compared to a cbxteriine and elegant 'xer, Canning preseraed the im gre of a finish d luit•qu. arliator.

Never stall 1 )iise the .opri.ssion which •hie, and that other relehr..ted .preelo of is on the affiirs of Portugil, wade upon me.

THE QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF AGRI-, CULTURE, No. XVI. BLACKTVO D. EDINIWROK. The sixteenth number of the Quarterly Journal of Agriculture, with the Prize Essays, and Transactions, of the Highland S , Jciety Scotland, has just been published. We ac knowledge, with his Grace the Dube of Bed ford, the immense advantages which the country has enjoyed from the improvements in agricul ture, but we never could agree with his Grace that improvements had reached their ultinzum, and that Agricultural Societies were no longer of any use. The present work corroborates our opinion, for it shows that Scotland is duily de riving increased agricultural knowledge from the Highland Society, and from this Quarterly Journal of Agriculture—a work we would re commend to English farmers, and more especially to farmers in Ireland. The present number con tains many useful articles, particularly on the tea-plant, the markets and farms of he United States and Canada, on salmon-fishery, on pre serving wheat, on the foot-rot in sheep, and ( various agricultural instruments, with the me chanism and organization of farming business. There is an article upon the means of creating varieties of seeds, by impregnation, and another upon calculi in animals. The French system of lithotromy may be applied with ease to animals, and thus may the painful and dangerous opera tion of lithotomy be avoided, as well as the in expedient attempts at solution. There is a useful article in this number upon incendiarism Ana Th.. .Is.* so deplorable as in our own." And, again, "to assume that the criminal laws of Great Britain are over-lax in their nature, is to make an as sumption not borne out by fact. A severer code is not to be found in any country of the world—stern—unbending, shall we say—bloody. Not only against the most flagrant of crimes do our laws hold forth a deadly menace, but even for the most trivial of them the demand is blood —the only expiation of the offender a shameful death." This is but too true a statement, and whilst the laws are bad, and whilst they are exe crated by every man not interested in their ad ministration, not all the revenue and power of a government could effect the objects of a police, were they directed to that object alone. Fo reigners excel us in police from obvious causes. The poor are early taught moral principles and social conduct, with their religious tenets, whilst in England the juvenile poor are totally unin structed, or instructed in nothing but doctrinal jargon or cant. In foreign countries, moreover, he poor respect the law.i and the law-givers ; and without such elements of obedience, the nest police is but nugatory. The whole volume is calculated to impart a great deal of useful in- formation. Mr. Trelawney, to wl otn the new and extra ordinary novel of " The Adventures of a Younger Son" is confidently attributed, is the gentleman who a few years ago *.ook so active a part in the Greek cause, and who married the Janghter of the Chieftain Ulysses. It will be recollected that .ehen Mr. Trelawney intrenched himself a3ainst besiegers in the cave*Mount Parnassus, an attempt was made on his life oy sorof di' his pretended adherer.ts who had been bribed to this acted - treachery. The book which this celebrated person has now written and published, is supposed to record the early events of his life, clothed, though not much disguised, in the garb of fiction. EDUCATION IN AUSTRIA.—The Austrian Dominions, exclusive of Transylvania and Hungary, contain a population of 22,372,756 souls, out of which there are 1,993,522 children, who are enjoying the benefit of elementary instruc tion. 'These do not, of course, comprise the 28,963 pupils, who are educating in the Gprinasia and higher clas.es of cc. tninaries. The eight Universities within the circuit of the Austrian realm are frequented at this moment by 21,546 stu. dents, who are studying the following branches of learning or science, viz.:—Philosophy, 7,2E4 ; Divinity, 5,860 ; Medicine and Surgery, 4,249 ; Law, 3,101 ; Veterinary Art, '257 ; Protes ' cant Theology, 48 ; Students in the Polytechnic School at Vi. enna, which embraces Commercial Studies, 747.—T0ta1, 21,546. The mania for emigration rages jii , t now in this country to an unheard of extent. We believe more people have quitted, or intend quitting, Elginshire for America this spring, than during the last len years. From the small village of Rothes alone, no fewer than 16 intend sailing very soon, in the same vessel, for the western hethisphere.--Elgirs Courier. THE PRINCESS BORG!' ,isrer, the Princess Pauline Borghese, blended with rare art the fascinations Of beauty and the graces with a restless spirit of ambition and enterprise, and a generous devotion to the glory of her brother. She sold her jewels for his use. Napoleon's whole naval means of transport consisted in a brig of war or , 26 guns, bearing the Elbese flag. There appeared some difficulty in engaging, or danger in trusting, the Captain of the brig ; the Princess Borg hese invited herself to breakfast on board his vessel, and, by the magic of her manners and beauty, soon secured his fidelity and zeal. She got rid of the troublesome presence of Colonel Camp. bell, the British Commissioner, by another display of the genius of the sex. Aware of the relations of gallantry or sentiment between the Colonel and Madame Bartoli, a lady of Leghorn, she contrived that an intimation should reach him of the flight of his Countess, to receive the homage of a, rival at Florence. Colonel Campbell went immeclietely to Leghorn, where he found Madame Bartoli; and was too agreeably surprised to re. turn immediately to his post as Commissioner. Tickets were issued for a Court Ball at the Imperial rajo, on the %th of February. The ment from the drawing.room excited sons , cess Borghese explained that it was th'• 'Puißelies, and did the honours of the ev , it was found that the Euweint had di. guards, 100 Polish lancers, and about . 100 adventurers, enrolled as light troops, three vessels accidentally in the harbour bargo Cobir.,4l re'i A.; IA . k liiap 0 0 it, iwat yrilt, ffR tlrd r•rq f 4 7, t tf4rti , itAn‘lzpil 1 Or; asr)
