In sober earnest, Mr. Tait's now periodical is a most promising concern. There is nothing squeamish, nothing vacillating in the quality of its style or sentiment.

It is candid, energetic and correct in the main, though defective in some of its particulars. We wholly differ from the writer in his estimate of Lord ' Grey, whom he underrates in the same proportion that he speaks the truth (com mendatory) of Lord Durham. " A Tete-a- Me with Mr. Tait" is a declaration of opinion drawn up with much Piquancy. The definition of a Tory is hit off to the life w e pity a man for being a Tory in these times. He is a poor creature that the march of event s has left behind ; a duck-legged drummer-boy w h o cannot keep up with his regiment.

The " Revolution " is a well written paper, so far as mere style goes, but we could have dispensed with the long story about he first French revolution ; such hacknied nur ,iery tales, should be left to Lord Eldon, to sing We observe in a French Paper the following article, to which at present we do not give credit, there being no date : " News has been received that the squadron of Don Pedro has arrived at Madeira, from whence it is to proceed to Portugal. The army of Don Pedro is composed of 7,000 or 8,000 men, and that of I)on Miguel is from 12,000 to 15,000 regular troops, of which 2,000 or 3,000 are Spanish deserters. THE FUNDS. Numerous paragraphs have been going the round of the Press, explanatory of the Duke of Cumberland's resolution to retire from public life. The fact is, that his Grace, when he took this resolution, fully explained his motives to Lord Eldon and Colonel Sibthorp:_" My Lord," said his Grace, " dry your tears—weep not for me—for I am resolved to retire upon my allowance, and upon the reflections of a well spent life. As Ifind that the country cares nothingfor me, I am resolved to show the world That I care nothing for the country." Colonel Sibthorp communicated this in confidence to Sir Charles Wetherell, who has kindly sent the intelligence to the different newspapers. Several very extensive sales of Landed Property have recently been made by Mr. Simpson, of Bucklersbury, as will be seen by a reference to our list of advertisements. The Crowland Estate, the property of Orby Hunter, Esq. is, we believe, one of the most important in the kingdom; the rent roll considerably exceeds 12,0001. per annum. The tenants arc wealthy, and highly respectable, and the lanai of the finest qua lity. Several eminent capitalists have been for some time in treaty for the purchase, but the offer made a few days since by the Marquis of Exeter, has been accepted. The Noble Marquis by this purchase has added 7,000 acres to his already extensive landed property in Lincolnshire.. _ _ Convicted.

As :an instance of the extreme proverty and wretchedness which exist in Belfast, we have been informed that in one quarter of the town, which contains a population of about 10,000 inhabitants, upwards of 1,000 bundles of straw have been gratuitously distributed as a substitute for beds. Sup posing, therefore, on an average, that each bed is occupied by two persons only, it appears that one-fifth of the individuals in that district are in a state of great destitution.—Belfaxt CArcmick.

THE RING, A meeting took place yesterday at Colney_heath, between Noon and Swift, for 254 a-side. Noon drew first blood. The battle proceeded with various chances of success till the 65th round, when Noon struck Swift a blow below the waistband, which was declared foul, and Swift was taken out of the ring. The referee deci:ted in favour of Swift, but the battle-money is not yet paid over. WINDSOR, MARCH 27. Yesterday being the birth-day of Prince George of Cam bridge (who completed his thirteenth year), Prince George of Cumberland arrived at the Castle in the forenoon, to con. gratulate his cousin on the occasion, as did also several of the young gentlemen of Eton College. The latter, with the Royal Princes, met at Adelaide Lodge, in the Home Park, where they amused themselves with athletic games. Their Majesties and suite walked through the slopes to the Lodge, and witnessed the sports of the juvenile party, and returned at three o'clock to the Castle. The young Princes and their companions remained at the Lodge, where they partook of an elegant collation prepared for the occasion. The King took an airing in the Great Park in his pony phaeton, accompanied by the Countess Mayo. Lord and Lady Frederick Fitzclarence, on their return from Scotland, arrived yesterday at the Castle, to pay a morning visit to their Majesties. M. Van Buren and Mr. Vaughan took leave of their Ma. jesties, and left the Castle on their return to town. The Princess Louise remains much the same. This afternoon the King took an airing in his pony phaeton. COURT CIRCULAR. The Duke of Cumberland and a set-ct party dined with the Princess Augusta, on Monday evening, at her residence in St. James's Palace. The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria walked for some time in Hyde-park yesterday. A Cabinet Council was held at three o'clock, yesterday after. noon, at the Foreign Office, which was attended by the Mar. quis of Lansdowne, Earl Grey, Viscounts Melb.,urn, Palmer. ston, Goderich, and Althorp, the Right Hon. Charles Grant, Sir James Graham, Lord Holland, the Duke of Richmond, and Mr. Stanley. The Ministers remained in deliberation about an hour and a half. A Cabinet Council was held at half-past nine o'clock, on Monday night, at the Foreign Office, which sat in delibera. tion till past twelve o'clock. Mr. Alderman Thompson, with Mr. Tooke, Mr. Mitchell, and Mr. Lyall, representing the British shipowners and tiler. chants engaged in the Russian trade, had a conference with Viscount Althorp, yesterday, at the Treasury. The Belgian Minister had an interview, yesterday, with Viscount Palmerston. The Commander of the Forces transacted business with Vis. count Goderich, yesterday, at the Colonial Office. The health of the Duchess of Gloucester continues gradually to improve. Her Royal Highness receives visits from a few select friends. The Duke of Cumberland and the Princess Sophia and Sophia Matilda visited the Royal Duchess yesterday. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS.

Mr. Matile, the Solicitor to the Treasury, has been in this city since Friday week, examining the persona who gave their evidence respecting the late riots before the Committee of Inquiry.—Bristol Mercury. Count Orloff, accompanied by Count Bru now, arrived at the Clarendon Hotel yesterday evening at nine o'clock. They disembarked at Gravesend about four o'clock. MADAME JUNOT . S MEMOIRS.—An edition in the original French of this lady's Memoirs has, we perceive, been published by Messrs. Colburn and Bentley at much less than the cost of the Parisian edition. Madame Junot's oppor tunities of knowing are private history of the Court of Napo. leon, were greater than those of most other persons. She has also been enabled to give a very curious picture of female society in France during the periods of the Directory and the Con sulate. From information we have received, from sources we can rely upon, we have reason to believe that, under the present system of Preventive Service, smuggling has been considerably increased. We could point out how and why, but at present it would not be proper. The Government have now under consideration some extremely valuable information on this subject, which is likely to lead to some most important discoveries, and to the introduction of such further improve ments in the system as will render it more effective.—Morning Chrosick. The Pluralities' Bill went through a Com mittee last night in the House of Lords. Of this Bill, it has been said with justice, that it gives as little Reform of Church abuses as could possibly be contrived. Upon the whole, how ever, we are not sorry to see the Church begin the good work of Reformation, though the Bishops seemed disposed to try the experiment last upon themselves. It is quite natural that the possessor of 30,0001. a-year should think it quite proper that in addition he might hold a living in commendam, because with. out such advantages the Nobility might not choose to enter the Church, and as the Bishop of London says, we are indebted to the Nobility for the blessing of a splendid church. It is a difti. cult question to settle the extent of income a Bishop may be allowed to possess. A Bishop never can be too rich, as a lady never can be old. By and bye, when certain leases fall in, some of the Spiritual Lords will have, if Mr. Baring may be trusted, 100,000/. a-year.—Morning Chronicle. The flexibility of the Law of Nations is ad mirable. Lord Palmerston observed, on Monday night, upon the Belgian question—" By the law of nations we may take any part we please." The law of nations, like the British Con stitution, is always the law of the uppermost party. It reminds us of Sheridan's reply to Mr. Pitt, when he used to lay such a patent claim to Providence for the success of whatever good turned uppermost : Sheridan observed that his only objection to Providence in the House of Commons was, that she was always of the Government side. One of the most foul and wanton of jobs, that even a Tory administration ever got up, was the establish. went of a Colonial Audit-office. After numerous complaints from Committees, and from other quarters, of the worse than inefficacy of the department, it is at last abolished; and John Bull may conceive the services for which he has been so long paying many thousands a year, by learning that the duties of this expensive department, are to be transferred to a clerk of the Colonial-office. The Colonial Audit-office, consisted of three commissioners, a secretary, three inspectors, and twelve clerks, a minute clerk, and several other officers. Reform is indeed abroad. We are glad to watch every symptom of im provement, however trivial, in the administration of the lass. In the Bankruptcy Court, on Monday, in Re Vine v. Hooper, the Court refused the plaintiff her costs, on the ground that her petition "was too long," for said the Court, "one in ten lines would have answered all the purposes as well." Such a no. tion of abreviation would frighten Judges like Lords Tentcrden and Wynford from their seats, and make them bewail that the Reform Bill was invading every sanctuary, and destroying all the wisdom of our ancestors. Lord Eldon would weep at such an innovation. We regret to state, that the celebrated Italian Improvisatore, Signor Fillipo Pistrucci, was overturned while travelling in an open four-wheeled carriage from Chichester to the Earl of Egremont's seat, at Petworth, by which accident his thigh was broken, and otherwise injured. It is somewhat singular that this talented gentleman had been employed for the last fortnight in making a drawing from Mr. Carew's statue, i the Cathedral, of the late Mr. Huskisson, who died in con sequence of a fractured thigh. GREAT MEN TIIAT WERE INDIFFERENT o Music.—Wyndham said that four of the greatest men he new had no relish for music—Edmund Burke, Charles Fos., Dr. Johnson, and Pitt. To these we may add Pope, and, in ',Lir times, Southel and O'Connell, Lord Ilyron and air J. MAckintosb. .. \ r ' ~;~~~ \~` ,(,, ~,,, .-- I%\ .. . , 3 d ,\
