A meeting of this hardworking and eminently useful body of men was heldo on Thursday evening, at the Pied Horse, Chiswell-strect, Finsbury-square. Although there were not less than 200 persons present, the utmost regularity charac terised the proceedings of the evening. The purpose of the meeting, as explained by the chair man, Mr. J. Richmond, Mr. Elwood, and other speakers, was to nominate a deputatirn for the purpose of securing an inter view with Mr. Rowland Hill, who, it will be remembered, has lately been appointed to a high official situation in the General Post-office, in order, if possible, that the salaries of the district letter-carries should be somewhat increased. Among other facts brought before the meeting, it was stated that, out of nine hundred persons, seven hundred and sixty only received 11. per week, and the remaining one hundred and forty, who had extra duty to perform, would be deprived of any remuneration for that duty by the late arrangements. It was hoped, however, that under the management of Mr. Rowland Hill the interests of the district postmen would not be lost sight of. A resolution was moved, seconded, and carried unani mously, "That this meeting deems it essentially requisite to authorise a deputation, consisting of thirteen members, seven senior letter-carriers, with the six who had lately waited upon Mr. Robert Smith, the superintending President, to attend upon Mr. Rowland Hill, to represent to that gentle man the grievances of the district letter- carriers, and to re quest he would recommend the Lords of her Majesty's Trea sury to grant them a scale of salary according to length of servitude, as recommended in the Eighteenth Report of the Commissioners of Revenue Inquiry." Thanks having been voted to the Press for its continued advocacy of their interests, and to the Chairman, the meeting separated. 26 1 4 i•••• •• 4IAt CANINE FIDELITY.- - A few days ago a Highland drover went on board a steamer at Port-Glasgow, on his way to the city; but, owing to some accident, before his faithful colley could be shipped, the vessel was in motion, and the poor dog left alone upon the quay. The drover was in despair at losing his companion ; but, to his infinite surprise and la B de re li e g m h i t e ,h w e , gfowuendglisg his fait tailhful andfriend in h indulging mat the exuberant demonstrations of joy ! The distance from Port- Glasgow to Glasgow by the nearest turnpike-road is twenty miles.— Weekly Register. MORALS OT THURLOW AND OF THE AGE.--.ThIIT• low was early in lite honourably attached to an accom plished young lady—Miss Gooch—of a respectable family in Norfolk ; " but she would not have him, for she was positively afraid of him." He seems then to have fore sworn matrimony. It is with great reluctance (says `=Lord Campbell in his narratives) that I proceed ; but I should give a very imperfect sketch of the individual and of the manners of the age, if I were to try to con ceal that of which-he was not ashamed, and which in his lifetime, with very slight censure, was known to all the world. Not only while he was at the bar, but atter he became Lord Chancellor, he lived openly with a mistress, and had a family by her, whom he s ecognised, and without any disguise brought out in society as if they had been his legitimate children. In like manner as when I touched upon the irregularities of Cardinal Wolsey, I must remind the reader that every man is charitably to be judged by the standard of morality which prevailed in the age in which he lived. Although Mrs. Hervey is sometimes satirically named in the Rolliad and other contemporary publications, her liaison with the Lord Chancellor seems to have caused little scandal. In spite of it he was a prime favourite not only with George 111., but with Queen Charlotte, both supposed to be very strict in their notions of chastity ; and his house was not only frequented by his brother the bishop, but by ecclesiastics of all degrees, who celebrated the ortho doxy of the head of the law, his love of the Established Church, and his hatred of Dissenters. It should like wise be stated in mitigation, that he was an affectionate parent, and took great pains with the education and breeding of his offspring. A son of his is said to have died at Cambridge when about to reach the highest honours of the university. His three daughters accora rotted him in all the tours he made after his retirement ODI per, Ind were in good society. tmistrala,sia JOINT S 4 T O OCK BAN_ K!.

HOUSE OF COMMONS. 'lke newly-appointed Standing Order Examiners sat for the first sime this morning, in Nos. 22 and 23 Committee rooms of the House of Commons. The general list of Petitions for Private Bills, contained the names of 490 petitions, of which 337 are connected with railways. The petition, numbered 243, is for a Bill to authorise the construction of a bridge across the Thames, from Church-street, Lambeth, to Market street, Nl , e,stminster. From the list of plans deposited at the Private Bill-office, it appears that 300 are for railways, and 68 for miscellaneous purposes. There are two plans for metropolitan bridges; one is for the Westminster and Lam beth-bridge, and the other is for a new Westminster-bridge, with approaches. There is another plan for improving the town and castle of Windsor, and the removal of Datchet bridge ; and another for a Temple-bridge and South London market. (Committee Roem No. 22, before Mr. ExamineriSmart.) UNOPPOSED LIST. The usual formal proofs in the following cases having been put in, the Commissioner declared the standing orders t have been duly complied with. THE LIVERPOOL GAS-LIGHT COMPANY'S BILL. PORTSMOUTH PAVING, LIGHTING, AND IMPROVE MENT BILL. GLASGOW, PAISLEY KILMARNOCK UNION AND AYR, AND GLASGOW AD BELFAST RAIL WAY (No. 1) BILL, For the construction of a number of small slips and branches. The subscription contract was signed for 75,0001. GLASGOW, PRAILW A AISLEY, KILMARNOCK, AND AYR Y (No. 2) BILL. The subscription contract was signed for 311,250/. OPPOSED LIST. SUNDERLAND MARKETS, BRIDGE, FERRIES, AND IMPROVEMENT. This petition was placed on the opposed list, but the oppo sition was withdrawn, and the usual formal process having been put in, the standing orders were declared to have been complied with. GLASGOW, PAISLEY, KILMARNOCK, AND AYR RAILWAY, AND AYRSHIRE AND BRIDGE OF WEIR (No. 3). This was a petition for leave to bring in a Bill to make a line from the Glasgow and Ayr Railway to Port Glasgow, with a branch to Largs. The length of the line and branch was 29 miles; the engineer was Mr. John Miller; and the agents, Messrs. Pritt and Co. There were several petitioners against the Bill. The first was presented by Lady Shaw Stewart, who complained that her name did not appear in the book of reference as the owner of a certain field which would be intersected by the proposed line The allegation was sustained by Mr. Long, her Lady ship's name being put down as the "superior," instead of the " proprietor," of the field in question. The next petition was that of a Mr. William Birkmyre, who complained of the inaccuracy of the description of cer tain streets in the plans and books of reference. Mr. VENABLES said the signature of Mr. Birkmyre to the petition ought to be authenticated, but The EXAMINER ruled that it was only necessary to re quire such evidence in special cases. The allegation was sustained, as were also two others of a similar nature. The remaining allegations were adjourned till after the other unopposed cases of to-morrow. (Committe Room No. 23, before Mr. Examiner MAY.) The customary formal proofs having been adduced in the following cases, the Easminer declared the standing orders to have been duly complied with : BIRKENHEAD COMMISSIONERS' DOCKS BILL.

GLASGOW, DUMFRIES, AND CARLISLE RAILWAY, AND GLASGOW, PAISLEY, AND KILMARNOCK AND AYR RAILWAY (No. 1). This was a petition for leave to bring in a Bill to make a railway from Gretna to a junction with the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, near to Milton, with a branch to the Can nobie collieries. The length of the line and branch together was twenty-six miles •, the estimated cost was 420,000/. ; and the en . ;ineer Mr. R. E. Blyth, acting under Mr. Miller. The solicitors were Messrs. Bannatyne and Kirkwood, Glas gow, and Messrs. W. 0. and W. Hunt, London ; and the Parliamentary agents Messrs. Pritt, Venables, and Co. The petition was opposed by five memorialists, who were repre sented by Messrs. Graham, Weems, and Co. The customary formal proofs having been put in, Mr. GRAHAM opened the case for an opposing petitioner, a Mr. Maunsey. Mr. Pairr urged the Examiner to require ppoof of the signature of the petitioner ; but the Learned Examiner did not think it necessary, and the case was proceeded with. One of the allegations was, that the township of Langton had been omitted from the Gazette notices.—rlt was sustained. The next allegation was, that a certain road had been put down as an occupation instead of a public road. The allegation of the petitioner in a qualified form was sus- sair*. The next petitions were those of the Gouroek Ropework Company, and Mr. Dacred and Gilkison, Esq., the peti tioners, complained of trifling inaccuracies either in the plans and sections, or the books of references; but the majority of the allegations fell to the ground. The proceedings were then adjourned till to-morrow at ten o'clock. GRAND EN TERTAINMENT TO LORD JOHN RUSSELL. This most ancient of the Livery Companies of the city of London (the Weavers' Company), under the presidency of Alderman Wilson, for the second time, gave a splendid ban quet to the Premier, on Wednesday last. The charter of the company being more ancient than that of the city of LondLondon,its chief officers retain the distinctive titles o f upper bailiff and rentor bailiff, for by such heads the City was governed before the appointment of Lord Mayor. After the accustomed loyal and patriotic toasts were dis posed of, The UPPER BAILIFF rose, amidst cheers, to give the " Health of Lord John Russell." He was happy to think that on that night they stood upon neutral ground ; the events of the last twelve months had shown the frailty and uncertainty of political connexions. As the nation grew older, he hoped it would grow wiser, and, at a time like the present, our legislators would doubtless unite with those whom her Majesty had been pleased to honour with her confidence in devising means for the benefit and relief of our suffering fellow-countrymen in the United Kingdo rt. Lord Jonx RUSSELL rose amidst great cheering, and re sponded to the toast of " Lord John Russell and her Majesty's Ministers," then announced by the toast-master in a manner the most happy and appropriate, taking for the text of his speech the motto inscrib e d on th e company ' s b anner , " Weave truth with trust," showing that the experience of the nations both of the old and the new w or ld b ore t es ti mon y to the . great truth, that proportion to its fidelity to its engage ments—in proportion as it did " w eave t rut h w ith t rus t"— were the distinction and emi n e nce t o w hi c h any nat i on or community attained. Acknowledging the kind and liberal sentiments advanced by the chairman, his Lordship freely admitted the right which the nation had to expect to be governed by the political party most able and willing to do her service ; and concluded, amidst general cheering, by proposing "The health of the Upper Bailiff."—(Cheers.) Several other toasts were duly honoured. FREEMASONRY AND THE PRE SENT DISTRESS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, —The cause in which I write, not being of private interest, but one in which a large and suffering portion of our fellow-countrymen are deeply concerned, I feel confident that you will again kindly grant me space in the columns of your valuable journal, that I may reite rate my appeal to the Freemasons of England on behalf of their miserable and starving brethren of the United Kingdom. In a structure like masonry, which from foundation to coping-stone, is charity—Heaven-born charity—the appeal of distress must surely find sympathy and relief. It surely can only be necessary that that cry should be heard, to find open hearts and extended hands responding to the call in a manner worthy of the sons of " Light." Charity Is the distinguishing charac teristic of a Freemason's heart: he who feels not the warmth of that virtue of virtues in his breast is un worthy of the name of Mason: him I pass over and ap peal to those who, deeply impressed with the obligations of the order, shrink not from putting them in practice when necessity requires. Thank God, it is long since an occasion like the present called for the sympathy and aid of the craft, and when the evil hour has passed, long may it be ere its dark visage throws its shadow over us again. Sickness, nakedness, and famine, with united powers, stalk amid the poorer masses of our countrymen, and in their track leave misery, agony, and death. " The superfluity of the rich is the patrimony of the poor." Who is there of us :who does not find cash to expend upon some superfluity? Oh! in this time of desolation grudge not a trifle to alleviate the misery that groans within the length and breadth of the and. Freemasons of England! do something AS A BODY to rescue the sufferers from "Death, and all the sad variety of pain." It is your duty at all times—it is doubly so now. Jan. 14. CATO. THE LEGITIMATE DRAMA TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. SIR,-01Nerving in your paper of this day the cor respondence between Mr. Bunn and Mrs. Butler, calls to mind the following facts : In the year 1765 David Garrick was at the head of the Drury-lane company with a salary per night of 21. 15s. 6d. ; Mr. Yates (the famous Othello) and his wife, 31. 6s. Bd. ; Palmer and his wife, 2/. ; King (the cele brated Sir Peter Teazle and Lord Ogleby), 11. 6s. Bd. ; Parsons (the famous comedian), 1/. 6s. Bd. ; Mrs. Cib ber, 21. . • 108 Mrs. Pritchard, 21. 6s. Bd. ; Mrs. Clive, 11. 15s. ; Miss Pone (the first of chambermaids), 13s. 4d.; Signet Guestinelli (chief singer), 1/. gs. 4d. ; and Signor Grimaldi and his wife (chief dancers), 11. All the above persons were of first-rate talent ; eating and drinking, indeed all the necesaries of life were as expensive in the year 1765 as in the year 1847. Either actors and actresses in those days were under-paid, or the actors and actresses of the present day are over. paid. Your obedient servant, A PLAY-GOER.

A surgeon was at once summoned, but whose efforts to restore animation were ineffectual, life being totally extinct.

The trial just brought to an issue by the representa tives of the late Dugald Stewart and Messrs. A. and B. Black, in Edinburgh, as involving important legal points, and disclosing some curious literary facts, we think worthy of some special notice. The relative po sition of author and bookseller has been one too fre quently beset with unpleasant suspicion and dissatisfac tion, arising mostly from the utter ignorance of authors of the details of publishing, and of booksellers of the pangs of authorship. We are glad, therefore, when a searching trial like the present discloses nothing but the liberality and honour of the bookseller, showing that a truly liberal sum had b een awar d e d, ac knowledging the power of the author, and the estimation of the public•for the really excellent. The last Copyright Law settled that the articles con tributed to a periodical belong to the proprietor of such periodical, but cannot be published separately without the consent of the author. In the present instance it was endeavoured to be maintained by the representa tive of " Dugald Stewart," that the Essay (although 1,600/. was paid for it,) was intended only for the " Sup plement of the Encycl o p se di a B r i tann i ca , " and not for the re-edition of that work, incorporating all the sup plementary and much additional matter. The evidence of Mr. Robert Cadell, and other authoritative witnesses, however, put the matter in so strong a light that the idea was considered preposterous, and an immediate verdict was given for the defendants. . . During the trial, the magnitude of the expenses of this truly national work, the "Encyclopedia Britannica," seventh edition, in 21 volumes, quarto, was shown, and it was proved to have been no less a sum than 125,6671. 9s. 3d.—a sum which, when considered as the venture of two private individuals, is truly creditable to our native enterprise and energy. This amount of course includes every item of expendi ture, among which the following are the most important: Contributions and Editing £22,590 2 11 Printing Stereotyping Paper Bookbinding 12,739 12 2 En3raving and Plate Printing 11,777 18 1 For the contribution of the Dissertation in dispute, Dugald Stewart received from the firm of Constable and Co. 1,6001, and for the accompanying Dissertations by Sir James Mackintosh and Sir John Leslie. the present proprietors of the Encyclopedia paid 1,0301. The cost of Professor Playfair's Dissertation is not precisely stated, but if paid for at the same rate as Sir John Leslie's, it could not fall short of 5001. For editing the volume, the sum of 3301. was paid, bringing up the total expenditure for the literary labour of this volume alone to 3,4501. Of this outlay only 106,526/. had as yet been returned to the proprietors, but we trust that the sale of the stock, which, as it embraces the works of so many cele brated men must continue for many years, will ultimately reward the spirit and energy of its projectors. —Douglas Jerrold's Weekly Newspaper. asaembled O this day a F y WESTMIN STER H.OSPITAL. (From the Lancet.) OP J E AN R . A I T I LO A NS num U b N e D r o E f ß su T r g H e o R n s INFLUENCE ETHER. in the operating theatre of the above hospital to witness certain operations, performed by Mr. Hale Thomson, on patients rendered previously insensible to pain by the in halation of ether. The vapour was administered by Mr. Robinson, dentist, of Gower-street, to whom society is much indebted for the invention of which the ether may be l emp oyed with security and cer tainty. The first patient was a woman of middle age suffering under condylomatous growths from the labia. After an inhalation of about four minutes, the patient was pronounced in a state fit for the operation. The morbid growths were then dexterously removed by Mr. Thomson, without any expression of pain on the part of the patient, and without any signs of suffering apparent on her countenance. The only indication of the nervous system being awake to the operation was the spasmodic action of the lower limbs, which took place at the mo ment of excision; but it was quite obvious that this was an excito-motory phenomenon, and had no connexion with sensation. On the completion of the operation, some wine-and water was given to the patient, who seemed awakening from a dream, and appeared for some minutes uncertain of her oa n identity, and of the reality of the new world which was opening gradually to her senses. Her man ner was that of a delirious person communing with her self, and exhibited a strong manifestation of Dr. Wigan's theory of the duality of the mind. After sundry eja culations of wonder and surprise, she turned her head on her pillow, and recognised one of the physicians as a "real man," and discovered, to her infinite delight, that she was still a denizen of earth, although her next ex clamation, that she thought herself in a " beautiful heaven," exhibited little gratitude for her temporary transition to a celestial abode. Upon being told that she was to submit to an operation, she said she knew it, and was ready ; and when informed that the operation was over, seemed unable to believe it. A little hysterical crying, the combined result of apprehension, wonder, and delight, followed, and she was taken back to her bed. Before we left the hospital we learnt that she was fast asleep. The second patient, a young man, was operated on for phymosis. He was ready in about four minutes from the commencement of inhalation, and the operation pro duced no evidence of the presence of sensation. Indeed, in his case, there was an absence of the excito-motory movements exhibited by the female patient. Some little time elapsed before the ligatures were completed, and the last was passed after he had to all appearance recovered from the stupor caused by the operation. He evinced the return of sensation by an ejaculation of pain, but relapsed immediately into a forgetfulness of the opera tion, being more intent upon the •6 delightful dream" which he had just experienced than upon the dull realities around him. On being asked if he had suffered pain, he sa id that he had felt nothing ; and upon being further interrogated as to his sensations, replied e that he would ans w e r the question to-morrow. k the wou l d r m t a h l e e patient, there was a litt l e h y sterical sobb i ng aefi ton of operation, apparently occasi oned by the re int of fact, a in prev i ous illness and su ff ering ;so that, po regret, su rgical operation has now come to be a source of as an enjoyment too quickly passed away. The impression made by these operations on the minds t" ed Mr. of the gentlemen presen t, amo n g whom we ne le rasmu s, White, Mr. Guthrie, Mr. Ferguson, Mr. B w!t son, and Mr. Fisher, appeared to be one of perfect satisd t facion, an Mr Robins on was deservedly congratulate on the success . of his mechanical contrivance for the administration of the vapour. --- GOVERNMENT AND THE DRAIN, AGE ACT IN SCOTLAND. At a county meeting held here last week, s me im portant information was communicated by our Sheriffd e pute, W. Fraser Tytler, Esq , with respect to the Drainage Act, and the views of Government. The t?iirrmG George resolutions of the county had been tra nsmitted to s eGrey, and on the proposed exten sion of the Drainage eor Act the greatest readiness and liberality had been evinced by the Home Secretary. So early as Oc tober last, Mr. Ty tier had be en in Correspondence on this subject, and the following is a passage from a letter of Sir George Grey : " I should recommend that any part i es who wish to have the question decided, should s tate in their applica tion to the Inclosure Commissioners the exact nature of the work which they propose to effect, and in respect of which the advance is sought; and there, probably, would be little difficulty in determining whether the application is one which can he complied with under the provisions of the Act." On this suggestion, M emb r. Tytler said, he a t onceacing for warded an application to the Com missioners, such an extension of the Act as he had advocated in his c orrespondence—namely, for the improvement by drain age and trenching 400 acres, of which about 150 were arable and 250 waste land, of a highlY improveable na ture. He took care to follow, as implicitly as possible, t h e course prescribed by the A ct. Ilis applicationthe was immediately acknowledg ed by Mr. BiaMite, articular C om missioners, who stated , that " as all the p required by the 14th section of the Act had been set forth in the applic ation, the y would have no difficulty in issuing the requisite notices prescribed by section Is." No more satisfactory proof of the favourable disposition of Government with regard to this important me asure could be given ; and Mr. Tytler a dded, that to the eat and intelligence with which Mr. nest zeal, ability, Blamire discharged his duties as a commissioner u n d er the Act, the landed interest of Scotland was under thd greatest obligation. The scheme of an amended Act kiting now committed to him, gentlemen had only to look to the sp irit of Mr. Bl a mire's letter of th e 2 4t h 0, tober (insert ed in all the newspapers), and t o hi s re marks on the rep ort of the Highland Society, bo t h o w hich have been printed by order of Government, to be satisfied that the interests of this part of the kingdom coulu not have been placed in better hands. This opinion of Mr. Fraser Tytler's is, we believe, general througho ut the north, and we trust Mr, 131 a mir ,, w ill be able to ex tend the Drainage Act into Land Improvem ent Act (including draining, trenching,general fencing, and other requisites of rural cultivation) will be a great benefit to the landed interest, which being of inestimable advantages to the labour- besides That this will be accomplished is now generally g classes. and, accordingly, a pplications pour in to th f believed, Commissioners from Scottish proprietors e Inclosure Courier. • Inverness —..........•................, .., s THEATRE.--SigEOFR HER ]M AJESTY . . al dancers of - Ca ro li na Rosati, one of the five principal has at rived in London.

LITERATURE. BOGUE'S EUROPEAN LIBRARY. HISTORY OF THE FRENCH RE VOL UTION. By M. Mignet.—HISTORY OF THE COUN TER-REVOLUTION 1N ENGLAND. By Ar mand Carrel.—LlVES OF MICHEL ANGELI, AND RAFFAELLO. By Duppa and Dequfrfcy, With a continuous regard not only to what is cal culated to be popular, but likewise to what is certain to be instructive and entertaining, Mr. Bogue con tinues this important and valuable serial with unabated industry and unstinted enterprise. We at first conjectured that the title of the series would prove rather ostentatious than suitable. The publication has continued to remove that false impression from the moment of its first appearance. Every volume issued has a peculiar interest of its own, a peculiar value, and a peculiar excellence. Sometimes it is critical, sometimes biographical, but it is most his torical. And the history is no mere compilation of periods with which the veriest tyro:is familiar for if a work is ever issued at all partaking of this cha racter it is invariably one of conspicuous worth, either by the eminence of its author or the excellence of his production. Above all, the price is singularly , trifling. For what would formerly have only pur chased a pamphlet or a magazine, the subscriber receives a composition fit to be enshrined upon his bookshelves for frequent consultation, and for not un frequent reperusal. Besides this, the paper is good, the typography clear and readable, the printing of the neatest description, and the binding of an elegant simplicity. The merits of the miniature history of the ever-memorable and, in all respects ever glorious " Revolution in France," by M. Mignet, require no detailed celebration. We know no small history so solid, so compact and so shrewd. Every sentence contains the greatest possible amount of information in the fewest possible words. Mignet has none of the amplification of Thibondeau, he is devoid of that surprising passion of enthuiasm which imparts so much of animation to the pages of Theirs, and which, whether he is writing of Danton or Na poleon, elevates him to the dignity of a Hero-wor shipper—a man capable of appreciating all the subli mities and goodnesses, all the heights and the depths, all the harmonies and the contradictions of those great names which history has invested with immortality. Still, though without these most estimable qualities, Mignet possesses others of the highest importance— calmness, penetration, lucidity, and a comprehensive benevolence. The goddess before whose throne he makes his reverent genuflections is Liberty. The human tribunals whose authority he can alone admit is the people. He abhors tyranny as he does war, and loaths fanaticism, whether religious or political more than either the vice of despots or of warriors. In Carrel we have a simile disposition and a congenial spirit, only more purified from the acerbities incident to one plunged into the consideration of complicated and tumultuous scenes. With a valour like that of Bayard, Armand Carrel, the accomplished and chivalrous editor of the National newspaper, had the simplicity of a child and the tenderness of a woman. So loving and forgiving was the nature of Carrel that we can almost picture him to ourselves weeping over the nameless grave of the young Saint Just—that youthful terrorist who with the black hair floating over his shoulders, and his beautiful counte nance inflamed with emotion, used to be the voice of Robespiere in the Tribune of the Convention, and the arm of Robespiere among the battalions of the northern army. We can almost imagine Carrel weeping over the grave of Saint Just seeing that he more fully than any one else, would have recognised that the crimes of the young tourist originated in his affection and loyalty , for the people, and in his passionate idolatry of freedom. He would have seen that the sentiments which fanaticism had contorted into a cruel and almost diabolical brutality, were in the abstract divine, and sprung from nature. So exquisite, so b enignant, so elevated was the soul of Armand Carrel, who was born at Rouen on the Bth of May, 1800, and who was shot dead in a duel by M. de Girardin, in the Bois de Vincennes, near Paris, on the 22d of July, 1836, Emilie de Gi rardin being the editor of La Presse, and Armand Carrel editor of the National. It is pleasant to think that over the humble tomb erected to this noble hearted republican in the churchyard of St. Mande, his memory will be perpetuated to posterity by the admirable bronze statue from the chisel of David (d'Angers), " representing . Carrel standing erect, the right arm extended before him, his head slightly thrown back, in the haughty attitude he bore when he evoked the shadow of Marshal Ney before the House of Lords." That famous apostrophe, " de livered in a sonorous, vibrating, and solemn voice," is justly characterised by the writer in the Galerie des Contemporains Illustres, as " une des plus mag nifiques e f forts d'eloquence dans ce temp-ci: As an utterance from that same mind, this narrative of " The Counter-Revolution in England " is thrice welcome, especially as it is, for every English man, invested with a national interest. We observe that Carrel, like all preceding his torians of the epoch of the Protectorate, is tainted with the same blundering misapprehension of Oliver's character which Mr. Carlyle has so nobly vindicated within the past twelvemonths. The former says that his Highness's career was blurred by "that most odious and degrading of all human vices, hypocrisy." We are afraid, from this expres sion, that Mr. Carlyle would include Armand in that category of false writers which he has scorned under the soubrignet of " Dryasdust," and that he would place this history of the counter-revolution among " the old blockhead books." In so doing, as far as Oliver Cromwell is concerned, he would be right. But not further. There is the impress of a firm, candid, generous, man-loving, God-loving spirit in the pages of this volume. It can win its way without the penny-trumpet of puffery. Of the companion biographies of the two greatest painters and one of the greatest geniuses the world ever saw, namely of Raffaello—the divine Raffaello—and Michael Angelo, by M. M. Duppa and De Quincy, nothing whatever need be said, saving that the translations are mostly accurate, and here and there extremely graceful. The original biographies, of which these are the reprints, have already acquired more u e at know ram not ere has m a matter a e t r w rei is tettehni this. contradiction by In m the.

" T here is beautiful medallion likeness of Michael Angelo as a frontispiece.

The various ornamental woods lately brought from New Zealand surpass every thing of the kind known to the cabinet-maker of this country. The company havo certainly shown, through Mr. Seveir, a very intelligent German, who was a settler at Wellington, not only the extraordinary rarity and beauty of these woods, but to what elegant purposes they may be applied. A visit of inspection to the New Zeala nd Company's House in Broad-street will amply repay the curious in the natural produce of this island. HOSIERY.—The cotton hosiery trade, in all its branches, is in much the same state as it has been for some time past—the cut-up branches being the most depressed. This depression has even reached the coarse hose of Leicester. We understand the hosiery trade is rapidly increasing in Philadelphia and the neighbourhood, and agents have come over here to engage bleachers, dyers, trimmers, ironers, and others, who are capable of finish ing hosiery goods. The silk glove bunch is, if any thing, rather worse ; but the season of the year should be considered. The plain silk hose branch, now ex tremely limited, is a shade better, especially in the neighbouring county of Derby. The knotted branch is still in abeyance, and many good hands have gone into the cut-up branch. The remnant of this once extensive manufacture is principally at Mansfield.—Nottingham Review. We understand that it is the intention of Govern ment to erect forthwith a battery at Penlee Point, so as to command Cawsand Bay. The Admiralty are deter mined to put the whole of the coast in e, proper state of defence, in consequence of which the building of the pro posed new bridge at Looe is suspended. A battery will be erected at Looe harbour, so as to command the an chorage under Looe Island. The whole line of approach from Looe to Plymouth is to be put into a state of de fence immediately.—Plymouth Journal. FRIDAY NIGHT'S G f t t ZETTE.

HONISTY REWARDED. —On Thursday afternoon a poor boy, named Michael Callaghan, living at No. 5, George court, Brook-street, St. Giles's, wa s se lli ng oranges in Hol barn, when he was stopped by a lady, who, after looking over the fruit, departed without purchasing any, and had proceeded some distance, when the lad, in settling his oranges, discovered a well-filled purse that she had dropped in his basket. The boy hastened after her, and restored the money untouched—she, in return, regretting she had no small change to reward him, commended his honesty, and walked on. DEATH OF MR. THOMAS WALLACE.—This gentle man, who died a few days since, at his residence near Dublin, commenced his career on the press, and reported the proceed ings of the Irish Parliament for a Dublin paper. At the bar he was particularly successful, and having obtained a silk gown in a comparatively short period, retired into private life with an ample fortune. Mr. Wallace entered the British House of Commons as Member for the county of Carlow, his colleague being the late Mr. Thomas Blakenoy. He retired from the representation in 1837. At his demise he was 86 years of age. POTATOES LEFT IN THE GROUND.—A gentleman in Badenoch writes us—" The weather has been very mild here for some days, which induced me to take up part of the potatoes that I had left in the ground, as at lifting-time I only took up two drills, leaving the third unopened. I find I am no gainer by leaving any in the field, as I am convinced, from the appearance of the crop then, with what it is now, that I have lost at least one-third by the frost since the first week in October. I believe the disease had done its worst before that time. What I lifted then have kept well, only I picked them twice before putting them into the pit."—lnverness Courier. DEATH OF PlTT.—Happening to be at the British Museum viewing the Townley marbles when a person came in and announced the death of Mr. Pitt, Thurlow was heard to say, " A d—d good baud at turning a pe riod !" and no more. IMPORTANT MOVEMENT IN THE LACE TRADE.— A very respectable and well attended ptiblic meeting of the fancy lace-machine owners, was held on Tuesday, at the News House, St. James's-street. We are informed that they unanimously resolved to commence a spirited subscription for the purpose of protecting themselves against any felonious attempts which may be resorted to for robbing them of their own rightful inventions. For this object their present fund will be augmented to the sum of ten thousand pounds.—Nottingham Review. THE LACE TRADE.—The complaints that there is but little doing in the lace market are not altogether without foundation, purchases not having been large since our last report under this head. Buyers are pro ceeding with great caution; makers of all classes of goods will do well to follow the example, rather than use high priced raw materials at any risk of not realising an equal advance upon their production. Yarns are stiff, and of numbers from 100 to 170 rather scarce, except at an ad vance. Machines to make clothwork fancies for inser tions are putting on such numbers as to cause it to be feared that this new branch may be overdone.—.Notting• ham Review. The magnificent chateau of Argenteuil, near Wa• terloo, the property of Count Ferdinand Meene, Gover nor of the Society of National Industry in Belgium, was entirely destroyed by fire on the night of the 10th, by the carelessness of some workmen who were at work in it. The building was insured, but not the furniture and fixtures, which were valued at 200,000 f. The 1116norial des Pyrenees informs us that on the 3d, fourteen Spaniards were overwhelmed by an ava lanche near Borce, on the frontier, and three of them were killed. The others were extricated, and although hurt were able to continue their route. BOROUGH or LAmnurn.—After the proceedings at the Horns Tavern on Thursday evening, respecting the Raja of Sattara, a numerous deputation of electors of the borough of Lambeth waited upon George Thompson, Esq., and, being satisfied with the exposition of his political opinions, re qnested him to become a candidate for that borough at the general election, and immediately commenced the formation Nof a committee to promote his returr. It is reported that Mr. Tennyson D'Eyncourt will not solicit a renewal of his eat for Lambeth. EXPERIMENTS AT TEE EXCISE-OFFICE.—BREWING AND DISTILLATION FROM GRAIN.—In obedience to orders received from her Majesty's Government by the Commis sioners of Excise, a variety of experiments have, during the past and present week, taken place in the private lab,ratory of the Excise department, under the superintendence of Mr. George Phillips, analytical chemist to the board, assisted by Mr. Dodson, surveying examiner-general, for the pur pose of ascertaining how far it may be possible to supersede the use of grain for purposes other than food to which it is at present applied. The first process was an experiment as to the necessity of the use of malt in the production of ale and porter, and the substitution of sugar or molasses. It appears that a very superior wort has been obtained from the above articles, which, when flavoured with hops, produced a very excellent beverage, the result being deemed satisfactory. The beer thus obtained is deposited in the Excise warehouses, to be produced when occasion may re quire. The subsequent experiments were the distillation of sugar by fermented wash, to supersede the use of malt in the manufacture of whisky, and it is believed that a pure spirit, superior in strength, may be had from sugar to what is now obtained in the ordinary way from grain. The results of these experiments, it is stated, will be communicated in the course of a few days. FIRE IN ST. KATHERINE'S DOCKS.— Thursday morning, between eight and nine o'clock, a fire broke out on board the ship Bonafide, from St. Petersburgh, lying along side the tobacco-warehouse, in the St. Katherine's Dock. It was first discovered by Mr. Holdway, the chief constable, who was passing near the spot, and saw flames issuing from the cabin windows. An alarm was instantly raised, and the Queen's baggage warehouse engines were quickly brought into requisition. At this time the decks, bulwarks, and the sails were burning with increased fury, and fears were enter tained that the ship would be inevitably lost. A copious stream of water was poured upon the burning mass, and the fire was subdued and extinguished by ten o'clock. Fortu nately the labourers, who had just commenced their work, succeeded in saving the greater part of the cargo. The deck and the principal cabin have suffered most severely. Consi derable damage was done to the sails and masts. The fire originated by some of the crew heating a quantity of varnish in the cabin. The ship is insured. ROYAL FREEMASONS' FYINALE SCHOOL.—Thurs day a general meeting of the brethren and governors of this institution was held at the school-house in the Westminster britige-road, for the transaction of general business, and the placing six children from a list of candidates for election in April next, when it was resolved that on that occasion they should be received without election. John Udall, Esq., pre sided. This charity was founded in 1788 by the late Chevalier Ruspini, its objects being the maintenance, clothing, and educating of an unlimited number of children, daughter. of freemasons who have been reduced from opulence or respectable positions in life. Since the formation of the in stitution, near six hundred children have participated in its benefits. Sixty-five children are now on the establishment. The report was adopted. Thanks were voted to the chair man, and the meeting adjourned. A MODEL LODGING-HOUSE FOR THE POOR.—A spacious building has been erected in George-street, St. Giles's, at the rear of the French Protestant Churc h, in tended' as a lodging-house for the poorer classes. The entire erection covers an area of 2,700 square feet, and is seven stories in height, and, with the exception of the ground- • floor and basement, will be converted into dormitories.
