The Lords met at Five o'clock. In the course of a conversation which arose out of the presentation of a petition by the Duke of RICH MOND, complaining of the unjust operation of the Poor Removal Act, Lord PORTMAN entreated the Govern ment to introduce some measure to amend that Act without delay. The Marquis of CONYNGHAM complained that his name had been improperly inserted in the list of the deputation of Irish landlords who had waited upon Lord JOHN RUSSELL. He mentioned the circumstance in order that he might not be supposed guilty of the absurdity of appearing as a member of a deputation in favour of a measure to which he was opposed. Lord MONTEACLE explained, that the Noble Marquis had attended the meeting at which the deputation had been agreed to, but had left the room before the pro ceedings were over, and that his name had been inad ♦ertently handed in as a member of the deputation. Their Lordships then adjourned. The Commons met at Four o'clock. Mr. BOUVEItIE asked for some explanation on the subject of the wholesale objections which some of the railway companies had made to the lists of Members to serve on Committees which had been drawn up by the Committee of Selection. The Great Western Com pany, he understood, had objected to three hundred Members. Sir J. Y. BULLER said that the Committee of Selec tion bad communicated to all the 'principal railway companies a list of the Members appointed to serve on Railway Committees, in order that the parties inte rested might object to any names they found in the list. They had only received answers from the Great Western and the South-Western Companies, and the Great Western had certainly objected to a much greater extent than the South-Western Company. Mr. ELLICE, as one of the members objected to, begged to say he bad not the slightest interest in either of the companies, and he thought the Committee of Selection ought not to have Entertained the objections, unless the objectors had stated their reasons in each case. Mr. WILsoN PATTEN defended the Committee of Se lection. A long conversation followed, in the course of which it was stated that the objection was not to Mr. EmacE personally, but to the place which he repre sented. After which, the subject dropped. In answer to a question from Mr. BORTHWICK, Lord PALMERSTON said that the Government had re ceived no official information of any intention on the part of the French Government to establish hospitals and coal depots at Port Mahon, and that the tendency of such information as they had received induced them to believe that such a report was unfounded. On the order of the day for the House going into Committee on the Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill, Mr. CALLAGHAN, on the part of the gentleman re siding at Mallow, who, it had been stated., had 10,0001. a year and kept hounds, and had yet refused to subscribe to the relief fund, denied the statement t - la at had been made. He certainly was indignant at the conduct of the Rev. Mr.I4PCAETHr, and had not sent Iris subscription to him, but he had employed the people, around him, and had given the Rev. Mr. BALDWIN 101.. for the relief of the poor of Mallow. Sir B. HALL had made his statement on: the authority of the Rev. Gentleman whose name he hied mentioned. He regretted that anything he had said: should have annoyed Mr. COURTENAY, the gentleman. to whom Mr. CALLAGHAN had alluded. Mr. CALLAGHAN said that the gentl cozen had not, for the last six months, kept one dog. After a few words from Mr. SHAW, :MY. J. O'Cos- NELL, and Sir. W. BARRON, the subject dropped. After requesting Mr. P. SCROPE, who had notice of a motion on the paper, not to offer any opposition to the House going into Committee, Lord J. RUSSELL said, " wish to avail myself of this opportunity to state, that I have observed with great pleasure and satisfaction the munificent subscriptions that have beeLt raised in the United States of America for the relief oaf the destitute poor in this country and in Ireland. I tllink it is not improper in this House for me, a British saubject, to state that I am extremely gratified to find Om t the United States have not forgotten their common origin; and that, actuated by charitable feelings, they aro making great exertions to collect large sums_of money for the relief of the existing distress." The House then resolved itself into Committee on the Bill. On the first clause being put, Mr. POULETT SCROPE objected to liodting out-door relief to the permanently disabled, and' moved as an amendment, the omission of the word permanently." This amendment was opposed by th e Government, and after some discussion was withdrawn,. and the clause was agreed to. On clause 2 being proposed, Mr. SI4AW objected to the unlimited per.ver the clause gave to administer relief to the able-I)3db 3t I poor. Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN moved an amedment, vesting the power of giving out-door relief solel.t, in boards of guardians, which amendment was opp( Nied by Sir G. GREY, and ultimately withdrawn. Mr. SHAW proposed the omission all - ,0 gether of the clause authorising the giving out-door relit !1. Lord Joss RUSSELL having addressed the House al some length, and Mr. SHAW having replied, the Com mittee divided, their numbers being— For the Clause .... 242 Against it 36 Majority The House then resumed, the CHAIRMIAN reported progress. and obtained leave to sit again 4 m Monday to consider the remaining clauses of the Bill. The Prisons' Bill, and the Custody of (Wenders' Bill were read a second time, and ordered to b e committed. The other orders having been disposed t the House adjourned at a Quarter before One o'clock. There is a consistency about the explanatory observations by which Lord JOHN RV. HELL endea vours night after night to reconcile his opponents in Parliament to the measures proposed by' GoTernment for the relief of Ireland, that promises t 10mirably for the operation of measures so well dig e sted and so cautiously arranged. The Prime Ministt ;I! is showing himself fully competent for an emerge n cy which is altogether without any parallel. Unapt is lied by the accumulated perils of the moment, he has entered valorously upon labours greater than all the fabulous labours of llEnouLns, combined—he has; to slay the Nernean Lion of Famine—he has to 'cleanse im purities from the landlord-and-tenant : stem of the sister island more numerous and mol v; loathsome than the impurities of the Augean stabl is i—he has to strangle the serpents of selfishness and -mendicity— he has to lop off the penury and idleness cv hich sprout snore exuberantly from the odious pry 4 tice of ab senteeism than the heads of tl- Lerncean hydra. On the assumption of • office by her AIAJESTY'S pr esen t Mi n i sters t h ere wer , a embarrass in fosruecighn misunderstand in gs d have induced . as enough to overcome t h e conf i denc a of the most sanguine woul and ve t eran statesmen. The. ri 3 were indi cations of and_ of domestic destitution i nduced • men of less reliance upon th e i ntegrity of their own - position and upon the soundness of th e i r own ability to despair those.; f ore b o di ng of effecting any dimi nu ti on of one, difficulties otherwise than by requiring the most enormous sacrifices from the empire. We have now tolerably well advanced towards the Easter vacation, and what is the condition at which we have arrived ? What are the sacrifices we have been called upon to make ? What are the preven tive measures that have been taken by the Legisla ture ? What has been the ardour evinced by the Administration ? What the exertions and delibera tions of Parliament ? As conscientious journalists, we are impelled to take this retrospection. As conscientious journalists, we are compelled (with but a comparatively few exceptional considerations) to express our satisfaction with what has been pur posely avoided, and what has been actually accom plished. In reference to our foreign relations, it must be acknowledged that if no decisive term has been put to the jealousies which have latterly sprung up be tween the European Cabinets, a calamitous out break has hitherto been avoided. If a cordial re conciliation has not resulted from the diplomatic correspondence of Lord PALMERSTON, an open rup ture has at least been prevented. If we have failed to restore Cracow to its republican independence, we have at least protested against the atrocious crime of the Absolutists, and we have protested with a dig nity and a loudness that must have penetrated the Imperial sanctuaries of St. Petersburgh and Vienna. If we have failed to effect a mediation between the United States and Mexico, we have at least the somewhat sorry satisfaction of knowing that we are in no manner implicated in the infamous act of aggression of the former. If we have failed in bringing the affairs of La Plata to a satisfactory settlement, we have at least taken every rational measure to accomplish the object so long desired. If we have failed in our proposition to arrange the differences which have estranged Queen MARIA DA GLORIA from her subjects, we have at least protected our own interests in Portugal, and preserved an honourable neutrality. In every quarter of the globe our pro ceedings have been creditable, if they have not been profitable or permanent, since the formation of the Russell Cabinet. In reference to domestic affairs we must admit that very much of an ameliorative character has been ac complished. No one but a maniac could anticipate that such miseries as those which have descended upon the British islands during the past eight months, could be dissipated by the breath of the Legislature like the winged-seeds of the dan delion. No one but a maniac, we say, would expect that further measures of assistance could, with any degree of security, have been adopted by a Government under similar circumstances than those measures which have already proceeded from the official chambers in Downing -street. Other wise we might look to the performance of political miracles, we might hope to see a harvest germinate and ripen at the beck of a Lord-Lieutenant, or the empty meal-bins of the peasantry be come replenished at the bidding of a Secretary of State, or the sunken cheeks of the famishing plump and bloom at the announcement of a Parlia mentary division. What has been actually under taken by the Legislature for the assuagement of the existing calamities of the country has proved to a great extent effectual, by distributing public moneys to the penniless ; by giving em ployment to the workless ; by facilitating the introduction of food to the localities most affected by the dearth ; by restraining the operation of those injurious systems, both agricultural and municipal, which have chiefly tended to produce the notorious im poverishment of Ireland; by strengthening the bonds of a common reliance between the tenantry and the pro prietary ; by encouraging agricultural enterprise, and lastly, by rendering the poverty of Ireland dependent for assistance upon the property of Ireland. This final measure of the introduction of the poor-laws into the four provinces of the afflicted island is, to our thinking, among the wisest provisions made by the Government for the moral and social elevation of the Irish multi tude. It will render a systematic mendicancy henceforth impossible. It will ensure the application of all the muscular strength of those among the able-bodied labourers who , are thrown out of employment by adverse circumstances, it will ensure the application of all that muscular strength to remunerative works, and especially to the further cultivation of the soil. These are the considerations which are ine vitable to every unprejudiced mind on reviewing the bygone labours of the session, and they are consi. derations which necessarily demand from us an ex pression of our satisfaction. lr The extraordinary financial arrangement which has just been entered into between the Emperor of RUSSIA and the Bank of France, or, more properly speaking, betwean the Russian and French Governments, is deserving of the most serious consideration, and should awaken the utmost degree of vigilance in those to whom the direction of the foreign affairs of this country is intrusted. In ordi nary times, and under ordinary circum stances, such a transaction might appear sufficiently simple, and not deserving of any particular comment. It would seem natural enough that the commercial interests of one great country should assist those of another, which, by the failure of the harvest, or any other calamity, might be involved in temporary diffi culties, and anxious to obtain aid for a time sufficient to extricate them from their embarrassments. Such an act would be not merely natural, but praiseworthy, and would tend to improve the feelings of amity and the mercantile relations between the kingdoms. But at the present time, and in the present state of affairs, and considerin g the manner in which the proposition was made and accepted, it assumes an aspect of peculiar significance, and would _appear to indicate that some great alteration has taken place in the existing rela tions between the Cabinets of Paris and St. Peters burgh. The negotiation has not taken place between bankers or traders. It is ostentatiously put for ward by the representative of Russia as coming directly from his Imperial Master to the French Court. It appears as a token of forgiveness from the Autocrat to the King of the Barricades, a recognition that the latter is prepared to give in his adhesion to the Absolutist doctrines to which the former is so en tirely devoted, a desire to extend the Russian influ ence in France, and to strengthen the hands of those smitten with Anglo-phobia, the extremes of all par ties, who forgetful of the best interests of their coun try, and of the constitutional liberties of the many in all parts of the world, would gladly see a Muscovite alliance substituted for the entente cordiale, to which the perfidious conduct of the French Government, in the affair of the Spanish marriages, gave a death blow. The season is propitious for such an advance. It is needless to advert to the hatred of the CZAR to the principles of the revolution of 1830, or to the readiness with which he would have crushed the ex pression of the national will, had ,England remained neutral, or refused to recognise the new dynasty called to the throne by the people. Hitherto that dynasty has been merely tolerated, not approved of. It was viewed with suspicion as the supporter of universal freedom. In the French Chambers the wrongs of Poland have ever been fearlessly dilated on, and an annual protest against the extinction of Polish independence has been almost unanimously carried in both assemblies. Meanwhile England and France were united together by the closest ties, and by their uni on were placedin the proud position °I guardians of the liberties and the peace of the world With such feelings as then existed there was little danger of an attempt at the destruction of any minor state, or, to use the more favourite expression, its incorporation into the dominions of a more powerful The ambitious designs of the Emperor were checked. He would not rashly provoke two such powers, bound together in close and friendly alli. once. He sought not, therefore, to conceal his real feel ings, the true character of his sentiments with regard to the French Government and the French people. Insult and contumely were consequently heaped upon the former, and the KING himself was scarcely admitted to a place in the family of Sovereigns, or his children considered worthy of being received in _ mar- riage into the house of some - petty German Prince. A change, however, took place. The sacrifice of that English alliance, so beneficial to the people of both kingdoms, and so essential to the preservation of free institutions, for the unworthy purpose of ob taining a large dotation for, and the personal aggran- disement of, the youngest son of the French ICING, afforded an opportunity for which the wily Autocrat Madrid papers of the 13th have arrived. The Herald() publishes a letter front Senor CATE'. TANO DE ZUNIGA, Director of the Treasury, con tradicting the statement which had appeared in the Clamor Publico, that the Government had paid Queen CHRISTINA several millions of reals previous to her departure for Paris. The Espanol says it is assured that it is intended by the Government to nominate thirty new Senators, and that several of them will be members of the Progressist party. The Clamor Publico states that a considerable rise had taken place in the price of bread in Madrid, and that in many parts of the capital, the people had assembled, and uttered reproaches against the Go vernment. This journal adds, that if some means be not_taken to relieve the public distress, very serious consequences may be expected to ensue. The same journal mentions a rumour that the Government had received dispatches from Pampeluna, announcing the discovery of a Carlist conspiracy. The object of the conspirators was, it is said, to get possession of the citadel, and rouse the people of Navarre to revolt in favour of the Count DE MONTEMOLIN. General Jose DE LA CONCHA has refused the Government of Valencia. This fact is officially announced by the Herald°. The debate on the Address had not concluded.

The National has the following observations on the Asf thhasserumouredoopurchased renter as h e which about ffraoc t yes terday w itn i pos sessed has : Convention just entered into with th e E mperor of RUSSIA by the Bank of France:-- "We were surprised, and we m us t even say confounded, hy a p pie ce morning,of andintelli g ence which was which was o fficially confirmed i n th e o evening.

The details of this affair are these —M. Kisseleff, the Minister of Nicholas, at Paris, went on March 11 to M. Guizot, and communicated to him a dispatch of M. Nesselrode, in which, assuming a mild and generous tone, that Minister expressed in the Emperor's name a certain sympathy for the difficulty , which France might experience, obliged as she is to pur chase supplies at Odessa. In order to encourage the com mercial relations between the two countries, and to aid our position, the Emperor offered to purchase the inscriptions of French rente, held by the bank to the amount of 50 millions of capital, at the average price of the day on which the dispatch should arrive at Paris. M. Guizot sent for the Minister of Finance, whom he placed in communication with M. Kisseleff, and afterwards with M. d'Argout. The latter replied that he could not take anything on himself, and in order to have the matter treated secretly it was entrused to the members of the commission previously charged with the negotiation with the Bank of England, composed of Messrs. J. Lefebvre, Hottinguer, and Pillet- Will. These gentlemen, after having discussed all the conditions, sold at the average price of March 11, two d t a w millions of Five per Cen ts., and 145,000 f. of Three per albsoullaiton, the w li d i i e s h P" h a e l Cents., which represent a ca p i tal of 50 millions.

This arrangement was accepted. When the Bank shall have repaid the twenty-five millions borrowed from England, it will have twenty-five millions to appropriate to the supply of corn ; and this operation, being effected with paper only, will not augment the monetary crisis. We relate the present advantages of this affair, and in the way in which they who are its partisans represent them. But supposing them to be ten times greater, we ap peal to the most simple common sense, and ask how could an act of such blind imprudence be committed? What! in the present state of our finances, in the general situation of Europe, to give the Emperor of Russia so powerful a means of action on our public funds! To announce officially that Nicholas can on any day he pleases crush down our credit with the weight of fifty mil lions! Is it then so difficult to foresee one of these events which may shake political order in France, throw men's minds into perturbation and cause alarm to capitalists? Is this difficult with a King seventy-four years of age? Ima gine at such a moment the Emperor Nicholas, acting bn the Bourse, and adding to the depreciation of the public funds! Is it in favour of such a friend that an establishment like the Bank has parted with that rente which it kept so carefully? The hatred which he entertains for the revolution, the haughty contempt which he professesfor our institutions and our ideas are known to every one. His insolence makes no mystery of the matter. A few months ago he gave us a new proof of it by the confiscation of Cracow. But at least he could attack us only in his own possessions; he wounded us in our sentiments for Poland—we were then out of his reach ; at present he is introduced into the very midst of our affairs; our money market, for who can deny the power which in a moment of danger a man must possess who can fling on the Paris market fifty millions of francs?" The Debats merely alludes to the subject as the I exclusive topic of conversation in political and finan cial circles, " where it caused, we are bound to say, considerable astonishment." The Commerce is the only other paper which offers any observations on this transaction. It considers the arrangement highly satisfactory. It says— " The news o f th e arrangement o f t h e B a nk with th e Russian Government produced last evening a great agita tion amongst the speculators, who meet in the Passage de I:Opera. All kinds of suppos i t i ons were ma de as to the mc tir es which co u ld h ave decided the E mperor o f Russia to this financial op erat i on. However that may b e , it will, we believe, exercise a great influence on the situation. It frees the Bank of France from its embarrassment, and renders nearly all its capital disposable. We ought, therefore, to congratulate ourselves on this event. It is not a mere tem porary measure, like the loan made by the Bank of England, which only postponed the difficulty, without removing it. The definitive sale of the recite possessed by the Bank re stores to it its liberty of action ; it is no longer at the mercy of the wants, more or l ess cons iderable, of the Treasury. The stipulated price is fixed at the average quotation of March IL In its balance-sheet the Bank had estimated the value of its Five per Cents. at par; it will, therefore, have to divide amongst the shareholders the additional sum that has been obtained. It is to be remarked that Russia is to pay in a great measure with the money which we have sent her for grain." M. VERNES, the Deputy-Governor of the Bank, was to leave Paris for St. Petersburg on Friday. The Journal des Debats has a long article in TANCRED ; or, THE NE TV CRUSADE. 3 Vols. There is no modern novelist whose works excite so much public attention, are so much read, so much talked of, and so much admired, as those of Mr. Disraeli. Although a very great number of his readers—ourselves among the number —dissent entirely from many of the principles he advocates, and many of the opinions he puts forth, yet there are very few, if any, not willing to bear testimony to the great amount of ability maii. fested in his writings, and the great amount of amuse ment afforded by their perusal ; and something more than amusement—though the power of amas ing is no insignificant one for a novel. In ad dition to this, in addition to the pleasure affhrded by their admirable sketches of society, by their accurate delineations of men and manners, by the lively sallies and brilliant sarcasms sparkling in almost every page, and in addition to the interest attached to many of the characters, either from their being identified with real individuals, or being the embodiment of some graceful ideal,—in addition to all this, one great characteristic of these novels, and that a very important one, is their tendency to engender thought. They are not to be lightly skimmed over and thrown aside; unless the reader be of most obtuse comprehension, they must inevitably arrest his attention and excite his meditations. Whether we coincide with some truthful and beautiful idea—and there are many such to be found in these pages—or whether we are startled by some strange proposition which we find it impossible to agree with—and there are many startling things to be found here—we are irresistibly induced to reflect. We either follow the author through his course of happy illustrations, or endeavour to find a refutation for his fallacious argu ments. We not only read ; we think. Can it be other wise, indeed, when we reflect that, for the most part, these arguments that surprise as, and this irony that we admire, are employed for the perpase of un masking and overthrowing what custom and prejudice have induced us to consider favourably —or, perhaps, about which we have not Considered at all. This was peculiarly the case in " Coningsby," which was not more remarkable for its satirical sketches and personal allusions than for the boldness with which it exposed political illusion—asking of Conservatism what it con. served? &c. After " Coningsby . " appeared " Sybil," which, following in the same strain, aspired to pourtray not only the condition of politicians, but of the people. Like " Coningsby," it contained many brilliant sketches of London life, but it did more— besides relating to the aristocracy, it spoke also of the poor ; besides telling of the gorgeous gaieties of the one nation, it spoke of the gloom and sorrow of the other, and spoke of them, moreover, in terms of sym pathy and encouragement ; and, inasmuch as it did this, we are inclined to regard " Sybil " as a more valuable and more interesting work than " Coningsby." Last year Mr. Disraeli's admirers were disappointed ; they had no three-volumed novel from his pen. His lively sallies and eloquent adjurations were confined to his Protectionist speeches. Differing entirely, as we do, from Mr. Disraeli upon this subject, and admiring his abi lities as cordially as we do, we were grieved to find those abilities only exerted in an ineffectual endea vour to make the worse appear the better cause, and only available in imparting " the last glitter to a dying faction." It is therefore with pleasure that we this year find him in his true position—for, however brilliant his power of debate, he ranks far higher as an author than as a politician—and we welcome him back with double pleasure, because in this new book we find no allusions to the lost cause of monopoly. " Tancred" is doubtlessly by this time in the hands of many, and the first volume is, perhaps, affording them much pleasure, and the more so because they will recognise in it not only a repetition of the lively sketches which delighted them in " Coningsby" and "Sybil," but also the heroes and heroines of those former volumes. Already, perhaps, they regard " Tan cred" as the third, and not the least delightful, of " Disraeli's brilliant political novels," as they are termed, when, lo! the first volume is finished—all is over, and the scene is changed. They are in another world—all is altered—the scenery, the incidents, the style; they are reading a different book! The title of the work might, perhaps, have led us to anticipate a visit to the East, but we were rather inclined to regard it in a figurative light —a crusade against some of the abuses of the present day ; but it is not so. Something very different is meant by the " New Crusade," but what that something is it is rather difficult to define—of this, however, anon. It is quite impossible to speak of this work as a whole, for each volume has almost a distinct character—we must therefore review it in detail, in which manner it certainly appears to the best advantage. The first volume is filled with sketches of London life, and the others with scenes from the Orient, and, especially, from the Holy Land. It will be readily conceived that such a combination must be most inhar. monious—perhaps, the various scenes are better regarded as a contrast, and not as a combination—like a collection of beautiful pictures of totally different style and subject, utterly incongruous, but by their very difference rendering their mutual attractions more conspicuous. The first chapter of the first book, alter describing the peculiarities of a certain part of the parish of St. George, " which is bounded on one side by Piccadilly and on the other by Curson-street," introduces us to the presence of two celebrated cooks—we beg pardon, two celebrated chefs—and we listen, with a mixture of interest and amusement, to a conversation with which M. Soyer would doubtless sympathise. One of these chefs is young but a genius, and consequently surrounded by difficulties, and he comes to seek advice from his more experienced friend ; in doing so he feelingly explains to him his embarrassments, and the other as feelingly responds. He tells him how he has been dis appointed by one of his underlings, to whom he had en trusted the sotifjlees, a most important matter, and how only, by the most desperate personal exertions, all was prevented from being lost.—" It was an affair of the bridge of Arcola!' " Ah!" those are moments," sympathisingly exclaims the other, the pere Prevost. He, too, has anecdotes to relate; he " has served under Napoleon," that is, in t h e imperial kit c h en . H a d i t not been for Waterloo he would have had the cross; but the Bourbons and the cooks of the empire never could understand each other. They brought over an emigrant chef, who did not com prehend the taste of the age. He wished to bring every thing back (Bourbon all over) to the time of the ail de key); " When Monsieur passed my soup of Austerlitz untested, I knew the old family was doomed." After this we are favoured with the history of the noble family of Bellainont, and here again, as in his former works, Mr. Disraeli endeavours to show the rather undignified manner in which some noble families have attained nobility. A Mr. Montacute having mar ried the heiress of the Bellamonts, and acquired with their property, their Parliamentary influence—five votes in the House, besides his own—by means of this iuflu ence obtains the possession of all their rank and titles, " their ancient baronies and modern coronets." But this was not effected without difficulty, every concession had to be wrested from the minister. The time however was favourable, the time of the American war. Mr. Montacute's support was very necessary, but he was in dependent, and not only so, " he was conscientious, and had scruples. Saratoga staggered him. The defection of the Montacute votes, at this moment, would have at once terminated the struggle between England and her colonies. A fresh illustration of the advantages of o u r Parli a m en t ary const i tut i on ! Th e independent M . r . .M n taeute, however, stood by his Sovereign; his five votes continued to cheer the Noble Lord in the blue ribbon, and their master took his seat and the oaths in the House of Lords, as Earl of Bellamont and Viscount a Montacute." Unhappily such an arrangement is by noe - means improbable, and, very possibly, such arrange_ ments are by no means rare ; but are we th(.ll jus tified in citing such a proceeding as an illustration of our Parliamentary Constitution ? What, are we to take an abuse of a system as an illustration of that system ? In the same way, on hearing of an accident on a railway le. tlilJu :ti it' amitsee to Ci.e 0 . Gi e va; iiGs eaeer intending it) we may exclaim, " A fresh illustration of the advantages of modern inventions !" or en hearing of a murder committed with a knife, or any similar weapon, " Behold an illustration of the advantages of using such weapons." We are rather disposed to re gard Mr. Disraeli's example as a fresh illustration not of the advantages, but of the abuses, of our Perlia mereary Ceestitteien ; neve; s which hay , measure, been overthrow;; by the Reform viii—ablieee, the last remains of which every succeeding reformation is tending to sweep away. The whole of the first volume is, in style and character, a fit companion for " Coningsby " and Sybil ; we find here the same admir able delineation of character ; brief sketches, yet each with an individuality, like the portraits of Punch, consisting but of a few lines, yet conveying a life-like resemblance. We hear again the careless dialogues of the idle habitues of the Clubs ; we are again introduced to the fashionable ball, the recherche dinner, or the matin dejeuner. We meet again with many of our former friends and favourites, Coningsby and Edith, Sybil and Egremont, and their companions, just pass across the stage. It is, perhaps, not to " the rule " to introduce in one tale the heroes and heroines of another, but the heroes and heroines of Mr. Disraeli's recent novels may form a very allowable exception to this rule, for from the circumstance of their adventures having been brought down to the present day, and their fortunes being interwoven with passing events, we are accus tomed to regard them, not as the fictitious heroes of a novel, but as real inhabitants of the world we live in— many of them, indeed, do exist under other names and the characters of all are drawn with such exactitude and minuteness, that we can readily believe they have living prototypes. We are so accustomed to regard them as living personages that the casual introduction of them in "Tancred" occasions us no more surprise than would the meeting of some acquaintance in a public assembly. Brief, however, as is the mention of them, we are favoured with a full-length portrait of Edith Coningsby—a very different person from the Edith Milbank of former days —very different from the timid girl wine, on Coningsby's first introduction to her at Milbank, could hardly summon sufficient courage to perform her duties as a hostess, when "she looked at the chicken and then at Coningsby." Now she appears before us as a prominent character in the fashionable world— a wit as well as a beauty. " She could describe in a sentenceand personify in a phrase." Mrs. Coningsby was the fashion. The change, or rather the develop ment of Edith's character, is very forcibly and happily pourtrayed; it is doubtlecs true to nature, at least to the nature of artificial life. Nevertheless, those who may have sympathised with the former love story of Co ningsby and Edith, will be, perhaps, disappointed with this picture of their married life. Mrs. Guy Flouncy's doings since we last saw her, some three years back, give occasion to some very lively and amusing details: no statesman had ever a more difficult or laborious task in acquiring eminence, no conqueror had ever more difficulties to avoid, or more obstacles to overthrow, in his ambitious career, than had this most patient and persevering lady in obtaining the grand ob ject of her life. But, notwithstanding the difficulties, the object is attained. Mrs. Guy Flouncy is now one of the exclusive sat. In the very amusing account of her doings we are somewhat en lightened as to the miseries and mysteries of fashionable lite. We find that to give a ball is a matter of the utmost difficulty; at one time Mrs. Guy Flouncy could no more think of giving a ball than of proroguing Perlis ment, and we are told that there are many, who with every apparent qualification, have been waiting and watching for years for an opportunity of giving a ball ! We have said enough of the first volume be most to the "ad mirers of " Coningsby" and Sybil" it will interesting; indeed, it can hardly fail to interest and amuse all who read it. Turn we now to the second t , olurne. Tancred, the son of the Duke of Bellamont, who has mingled very reluctantly with the gaities of fashionable life, resolves to go to Jeru salem ; and, opening the second volume, we find ourselves in the East. Not only dues the scene of the story change, but the style of the author changes also ; and with this we are not dissatisfied, for, remembering the beautiful tale of David Alroy, with its eloquent orientalisms and gorgeous descriptions of Eastern manners the lavish magnificence of which were indeed worthy of the M die et un. Nuits, we know that Mr. Disraeli is as well qualified to delineate the men and manners, and to expatiate upon the, beautiful reminieeeertees' of the-East, as he is to pourtray the doings .and ^satirize the follies of the inhabitants of what we denominate the West. Nor are we disappointed. The descriptions of the Holy Land are full of pathos and beauty. There is a most eloquent and touching description of the scenery round Jerusalem—the street of Calvary— the garden of Gethsemane—the path that leads to Bethany. Yet beautiful descriptions of such pieces are hardly needed, their very names are sufficiently sug gestive; as Mr. Disraeli himself observes in speaking of the scenery of the sacred land—" a land," as he beauti fully terms it, " where the Creator deigned to dwell, and over whose impending fate Omnipotence had shed human tears." The readers of " Coningsby" must .be well aware how highly Mr. Disraeli "holds in estimation the Hebrew race. He has gallantly and resolutely come forward to rescue the despised Jews from the contumely with which prejudice and bigotry have overwhelmed them. It is certainly a some what arduous attempt, but one worthy of all approba tion. Considering the difficult nature of his object, we can hardly be surprised at the means which he makes use of, if he goes to the other extreme, and in place of a despised and scattered race, whose badge is suffer ing, tells us of the " Hebrew mind," which, according to his showing, governs the world. "Tancred" there is much of this ; speaking of Jerusalem, he cannot fail to speak of the Jews. The East—the cradle of the human race—is to him pecu liarly the home of "the children'of Israel;, nay, even the Christian religion, which was founded there, becomes merged in the Judman. The Virgin Mary is to him a Jewess, and he loves to speak of the Saviour of the world as a Hebrew Prince—a Prince of the royal house of David. Tancred, who had sought the Holy Land only from religious motives, be comes unintentionally involved in political speculation. The third volume opens with a description of the various tribes and parties into which the inhabitants of Judea are divided, and gives an account of the combinations and disturbances which occasioned the • Syrian war. This is followed by a description of the people of Ansarey, a remote and ex clusive tribe, to whom Tancred pays a visit. His ad ventures here are most romantic. The young queen who rules the Ansarey is captivated by her European guest, and a tale of love and jealousy ensues. Tancred however, escapes, and the whole ends somewha abruptly. Eiou; this brief sketch it will be seen that the work is of a very various character. A manifest want of unity is apparent in the whole ; but this we readily forgive, because, however discordant may be the several parts, the brilliant sketches of London life, the impassioned descriptions of Jerusalem, the history of the Asiatic tribes, or the romantic episode of the Ansarey each is either amusing, interesting, or instructive in its?lf, and the effect of each is rendered more strik ing by its contrast with the others. But in one re spect we are dissatisfied with " Tancred;" we cannot understand at what it aims. We close the third volume; we have been amused, we have been instructed, interested, perhaps delighted ; but we are at a loss— we do not comprehend it. " Coningsby" had a definite object, it was written to expose the state of party and unmask the doings of political coteries. We under stood and we applauded the object of " Sybil." " Con tarini Fleming" pourtrayed the history of a poet ; " Alroy " was a beautiful picture of the East ; " Hen rietta Temple," a love story ; in short, each of Mr. Disraeli's former works had some distinguishing characteristic, but " Tancred," inasmuch as we can comprehend it, has none. With another thing, also, we are not quite satisfied. Tancred, like all the young Englanders, laments the great want of faith in the pre sent day; he mourns over the want of principle mani fested by his countrymen ; he desires inspiration from above, and to attain it he seeks the Holy Land. Now the idea in the abstract is not without a certain degree of propriety and of beauty. The idea of youth turning with disgust from the narrow views and mean policy which are too much the characteristics of our social life, and seeking for a higher impulse and a holier teaching, is in itself sublime. But why go to Jerusalem ? The sky is over all the world —are we only to pray in Asia? The mercy and goodness of God is manifest wherever the sun shiucs; can His will only be made known at Jeru salem ? We are quite unable to comprehend what Mr. Disraeli would mean by the " New Crusade," and, therefore, we must leave it in its mystery. We have marked many passages for extract, but must reserve them for another opportunity. Madame Knispel, the charming German vocalist, has arrived in London for the concert season. She has been visiting Paris, where she appeared with great success. DARING ROBBERY.—On Thursday afternoon, in broad daylight, the window of Mr. Chappellsmith's shop, Dean-street, Westminster, was cut, and large cards of knives, show-cases with brooches, and valuable mathematical instru ments were stolen therefrom. It was done by four well dressed men, who were seen about the wi n d ow, and who shortly after, were observed in Moody's-gardens, Horseferry road, where they threw the glass-cases down a privy. THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—In pur suance of the pledge given to the Government by Mr. Barry, the architect, that he would sufficiently complete the new House of Lords for the reception of their Lordships after the ensuing Easter recess, the works and fittings-up in the interior and of the necessary apartments required for use are proceeding with great rapidity, and in order to pre vent any hindrance or obstruction to the progress of the works, no person but those employed will be allowed to have access to the building after this day. The interior is a gor geous display of modern art. In the public hall the flooring is of great magnificence, being composed of Minton's encaustic tiles in colours. The outer gates of their Lordships' House are made of brass, and are of exquisite workmanship. In the works at the new House of Commons not much pro gres is making. ALLOWANCES TO WITNESSES IN THE NEW COUNTY COLTETS.—The judges of the superior courts have fixed the scale of allowance to witnesses in the New County Courts:— Gentlemen, merchants, bankers, and professional men, 7s. 6d. a day; tradesmen, auctioneers, accountants, clerics, and yeo men, ss. ; journeymen, labourers, and the like, 2s. Travel ling expenses per mile, one way, 6d. INCENDIARISM AT ACT9N.—Yesterday morning, at an early hour, a fire, the work of an incendiary, broke out upon Tubb's farm, situate at Friar's-place, Acton, the pro perty of John Tillyard. It commenced in a large rick, con taining nearly fifty loads of hay. The engines from King street station and the West of England Company quickly attaided, and both were set to work from a pond on the farm, but before the fire could be extinguished at least one half the rick w as consume d .

THE SUN, LONIMN, SATURDAY _EVENING, MARCH 20, 1R47 had long panted, and of which he was not slow to avail himself. The incorporation of Cracow, the utter extinction of the Polish name, of the last remnant of Polish independence, were the first fruits of this unfortunate and grievous error. The generous confidence that had rreviously existed between the English and French Governments gave place to cold distrust. There could no longer be that cordial co operation between the Cabinets, the mere knowledge of the existence of which would alone have prevented the attempt, and Cracow was sacrificed. New designs are stated to be entertained by the Guizot Ministry. The Balearic Islands, and the turning the Mediterranean into a Trench lake, are supposed to be the objects of their ambition ; to attain these ends they would succumb to the most unreasonable and unworthy demands of the CZAR. He appreciates their motives, sees the favourable prospect :of chang ing them from the most strenuous opponents to the zealous advocates of his policy, and he comes forward with his disinterested offer of advancing from his im perial coffers 50,000,000 of francs. The result proved that he was not mistaken in his judgment. His offer was at once accepted. The Ministry, with out hesitation, permitted him to attain a position that will enable him to exercise a great influence over the monetary affairs of France. He is now the ruler of the Bourse, he can at pleasure elevate or depreciate the money market. He has attained a power greater than that ever before enjoyed by a foreign potentate in French affairs. What strength will that add to any arguments he may choose to use with the Minis try for the time being! We cannot doubt but that the intelligent and right-minded portion of the com munity will require full explanations at the hands of the Ministry, and that they will consider it a fitting ground for the greatest vigilance as to the ulterior designs and objects of the Russian EMPEROR. favour of the issue of notes for 100 f. " France," saes this writer, " has an excess of specie, and if the emission at Paris of notes of 100 f. should cause 100 or 150 millions to be sent out of France, there would still remain more metallic specie than our wants require." The opposition of the Bank to this mea sure is anticipated, but it is evident, from the tenor of the article, that the Government is disposed to give a favourable consideration to the proposition. The Union Monarchique, in noticing the diplomatic dinner, given by Lord NORMANBY, on the 16th, sayg-- " M. Guizot, Marshal Scult, and all the Ministers, with the most important members of the diplomatic corps, were pre sent. During the dinner Lord and Lady Normanby paid the moat incessant and amiable attentions to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. M. Guizot could not stay later than nine o'clock, because it was his evening for receptions at the Hotel des Capucines. During the rest of the evening M. Guizot was remarked by all the persons in his saloons for the pleasure which enlightened his countenance, and his eagerness to talk to every one of the noble conduct towards him of Lord and Lady IsTortnanby." We read in the Constitutionnel— " It appears that the Ministers of War and Public Works have decided that the railroad companies shall be bound to convey gunpowder for the Government, like any other com mon merchandise. The only measure of precaution to be taken is to place the waggons of gunpowder at the extre mities of the trains, as unconnected as possible with the carriages for passengers and goods. \ hen we call to mind the extreme prudence necessarily exercised in the mills and magazines of powder, in order to prevent accidental or wilful explosion, we cannot but feel astonishment at seeing so little care taken, in the conveyance of the same dangerous matter by railroads, which are already liable to so many serious accidents from fire, as well as other causes." The Phoque steamer, which was to have gone on a distant mission, has received orders to proceed to the coasts of Spain to take in tow any vessels that might • present themselves laden with grain. Up.. wards of two hundred vessels are expected to double Cape Finisterre when a favourable change of wind takes place.

The Assembly of the States of Lower Prussia, which opened on the Ist, closed on the Bth. One of the last acts was a declaration of the sad condition of the lower classes, and a recommendation for a dimi nution of the taxation on articles of consumption. The ZollvereinBblalt states that the Prussian Go vernment intends submitting to the approaching Diet of the States a legislative measure relative to maritime navigation and commerce.

A letter from Bologna of the 9th says that Car dinal UGOLINI, Legate of Ferrara, had been replaced in the government of that province by Cardinal FlEscur, who, before leaving Rome, received special instructions ;from the POPE. In the Romagna the agitation of the peasantry on account of the dear ness of grain continued. A vessel laden with wheat had been pillaged on the canal of Ra venna ; but the young men of the town took arms, dispersed the mob, and recaptured the corn. The zeal in the maintenance of order of the citizens of the principal towns of the Roman States is highly appre ciated by the POPE, and his Holiness will, it is said, shortly establish a Civic Guard througl•.out his domi nions. More than 100 persons of all classes have been arrested in Tuscany. Several conspiracies against the POPE have been discovered among the ecclesiastics in the Roman pro vinces. LITERATURE. MR.
