EVENING EDITiON. FRANCE AND THE EASTERN QUESTION. SPIRIT OF THE FRENCH JOURNALS OF TUESDAY. (From the Courrier Francais.) • We have ate aye looked upon the treaty of the 15th of July as a treaty of partition, which puts even the existence of the Citternan empire in peril. The events which have recently taken plane in Syria justify us in our idea. The English filitg floats over Saida and lileyrout. The Emir Be it is at Malta, and the insurrection in Syria spreading is every direction. eland already exercises a real pro tectorce over that country. When once Ibrahim has beet( drives out of it, it will be nothing more than an Eng 11e4 province, as the lonian Islands and Portugal. The telegraphic del , patch which announces the submie :ion of the Erair a ppears to us to be couched in very am biguous terms. What are the circumstances that have brought about the submission of the Prince? Has he been vanquished or taken by surprise? Has he surren dered himself voluntarily, and as desperate causes are usualls abandoned in the East? These are points on which ;he Minieterial deepatch does not enlighten us. Does the Emir proceed to England because his example has only found a few followers in the mountains, or is he sent there as a hostage for the good behaviour of the tribes of the Libanus? This point deserves elucidation. However this may be, it will not escape the observation of any one that England is the least suitable place of re treat for the Ersir. If it were_only to secure his fidelity, he should have been sent to Constantinople, to remain under the guardianship of the Sultan. The English Go vernment, in having him taken to England, would seem to wish to possess themselves of a guarantee against the policy of the Divan. It does for the Emir Bechir what it has done for the petty Indian Princes; it is the real sove reignty of the Libanus which passes from the hands of the Emir into those of Lord Palmerston. From this moment every clear-sighted person can see the result of the treaty of Londetre. England, mistress of Syria by the same title that Russia rules over Moldavia and Wallachia. Who will no - .v say that the equilibrium of Europe is not dis turbed? The new Cabinet apparently proposes to tolerate the changes which are taking place in the East. It will Le pail with words ; it will be told that the sovereignty of the Sultan is re-established ; that the English are only acting the part of disinterested allies;—and it will declare itself satisfied. France will have raised her voice only to make a eowardly submission, and we shall be held up a fable to all nations. It is to be feared, morever, that the disasters which we have announced will not be the last. When Mehemet Ali shall become acquainted with the resignation of M. Thieve from office, can we think that he will any longer folios the counsels of prudence which have been given him ? Ids wiil either allow Ibrahim the liberty of march ing on Constantinople, and thus sanction the calling of the Russians to Scutari, or he will find his courage fail, and will talk of submitting. • By adopting the first plan (and we almcst wish be may adopt it) the flame which is lighted in the East will not be long in reaching Europe ; in the second, the shame is no longer with Mehemet Ali, it is with France, who abandons him, although he has religiously followed her counsels. A year since the Journal des Debats itself declared that France should oppose by force every attempt made by the Allied Powers to take away Syria from the Vioeroy. Now, when the sacrifice is half completed, the Government does not disturb itself l Do you know what we shall gain by this conduct ? It will not be said that France has changed her policy ; it will be said, that we have the wish and the inch nation .o save Mehemet Ali, and that we have not the strength to do it ; it is our weakness which will be pro claimed to the world. There are things which a great state is not at liberty to tolerate. The monarchy of Louis XV. was dishonoured for baying witnessed, without oppo sition, the partition of Poland. The monarchy of Louis Philipppeannot witness the destruction of the power of the Pacha without the world doubting its strength and its cou rage. The people must esteem a Government for that Government to be durable. God preserve us from sub mitting to such a great disgrace I for the country would not pardon those who had brought it on as. (From the Journal des Debate.) We could not have anticipated the line of defence which the Coustitutionnel has adopted on behalf of the Ministry of the Ist of March. It was more modest than we expected from the pen of M. Thiers, but less loyal than we could have wished on the part of one of his Majesty's formtr Mi- nisters. The Ministry of the latof March would have it believed tha, the mistakes in the exterior policy cannot be laid to its account. The Treaty of July 15, or the abdication of the Queen Regent of Spain ought not to be made the subject of imputation against that Cabinet, as the cause of these events originated previously to the formation of the Minis try of March 1. It was not M. Thiers who brought abaut the present serious state of affairs. This situation was left to him as a legacy, and he was obliged to receive it as he found it. In other words, the doctor, seeing the patient in imminent danger, declared that he was called in too late. Such is the apology of M. Thiers. There is something humiliating in this apology. Thus the Ministry of March 1, notwithstanding its boasted talents and the stq,port of England, on which it prided itself so much, has not been able to do anything, and is obliged to confess its inability to . effect a change in the', situation of the country. Fatality is also called in aid as au excuse, and it is said that everything that occurred was inevitable. This apology well bespeaks the fatalist historian of the French Revolution, but certainly not the sentiments of a statesman. Wh i at a mass of accusations is contained in this apology of M. Thiers ! Every one has been in fault ; all have done wrong, with the exception of M. Thiers himself ; but when it comes to his turn to repair the mischief, he can't succeed, and says it is too late. Such is the language re lied upon by men retiring from office: but a very different tone was assumed at the end of the first two or three months, and when that Cabinet still counted upon retain ing the slirection of affairs upon a long lease. This re minds us of an article in the Constitutiennel, in which M. Thiers' "succesfful foreign policy" was lauded in the su perlative. The Eastern question was to be settled under the aus pisa- and according to the views of France. Spain would be freed from Carlists, and placed in a flourishing state under a constitutional monarchy, by the influence of the firm bat moderate counsel of the new French Ambassador. Everything bore a smiling aspect to M. Thiers' eyes. Evils were not then deemed inevitable; there was no ex pression of despair as to remedying the political malady, nor exclamation that it was too late. M. Thiers pretends that the position he inherited is incapable of being improved. What will he say if, in our turn, we assert, that under the Ministry of the Ist of March and the support it relied on, it must inevitably have become worse ? What will he say if we consider the Mi nistry of the Ist of March afflicted by the same fatality which he recognised in the preceding Administrations, and which was to carry everything before it—if we say that M. Thiers, coming into power with his retinue (in voluntarily or not) of revolutionary ideas and passions, roust necessarily have isolated France from all Europe by the distrusts and anxieties which he created in the diErent States ; if, in tine, we maintained that the mo ment France appeared to adopt a policy of revolutionary agitation, at that very moment to lose ground in the negotiations and the resolutions of European policy, and that she could no longer exercise an influence, except by the dread of arms, a terror great indeed, but to neu tralize which Europe will have recouree to coalitions of the many against the one ? How dreadful does M. Thicrs make the state of affairs appear in saying that it is beyond remedy, anet that the consequences are inevitable ! We in our turn declare, that it is M. Thiers who was incapable of supplying Vac remedy, and that he could only make mat ters worse ; not that M. Thiers is wanting in ability, but because by his most recent acts, his avowed connexions, his direct and indirect language, be proved himself the man of all others the most likely to prevent Europe yield ing us a jot on the Eastern question, and for this reason— that whatever Europe might concede to us would appear to have been forced by a revolutionary spirit. Revolutionary spirit ! Let it be well understood by the Opposition Journals that their pompous but gross interpre tation of revolutionary spirit, as that of the revolution of 1.!!30, cannot deceive any one, and that we shall meet them ( n the political ground taken up by M. Thiers in 1'832 and 1833. That was certainly not a revolutionary policy; it was, nevertheless, the policy of 1830, the good and sound policy of that revolution. Our answer to the system of defence chosen by the Con stltutionnel is, that the policy adopted by France is an Egyptian Trolley : that is to say, that it is for the advan. tage of France to obtain for the Pacha of Egypt a territo rial state which may be sufficiently powerful and sufficiently permanent. France during the negotiations always demanded to the above effect, and she was right. Marshal Soult demanded the hereditary r i g ht to Syria, but that was whilst the ne gotiations were pending, but not at the period of the reiti matins.

It was by corruption first, and by force of arms afterwards, that England subjugated India. It is certain that the Emir's defection will cause Ibrahim Pacha serious inconvenience, because the mountains which protected the interior of Syria are now open to the invaders. However, it must not be concluded that the Viceroy's affairs are desperat e .

NrZ - ,11-_:. IV Y BELGIUM. BRCSSELS, Nov. consequence of the considerable fall in the price of corn at Brussels last week, the Magis trates of this city have made some alterations in the price of bread. Mr. Babbage, the inventor of the celebrated calculating machine, has passed through Brussels. The very few persons who were permitted to see the designs for his new machine unanimously declare that this rivals the electric telegraph of Mr. Wheatstone. Mr. Deridder, jun., formerly director of our railroad, has just completed a locomotive engine on a new plan, which is much mere economical than the present system, both in respect to the consumption of fuel and to the weight of the rails. The introduction of this new system being much less expensive, short branches may be made between certain places and the great lines, because the receipt will suffice to cover th 4 expenses; such is the object proposed by the able engineer. A letter from Weimar of October 12th says, " I learn from the best authority that our hereditary Grand Duke is betrothed to the daughter of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge." BRUSSELS, Nov. 3.—The General of Division Corn mander.in-Chief of the Civic Guard of Brussels has just given notice to the officers, that the King will review the whole of the Civic Guard on Monday, Nov. 10, imme diately after the ceremony of opening the Session of the Chambers. The library of the Chamber of Representatives has just received from London the collection of documents, printed by order of the House of Commons, for the year 1337, 1838, 1839, in 107 volumes in foli.", elegantly bound like those of the preceding Sessions.

They were both highly approved by his Majesty, and orders were given to take advantage of the presence of the architect, clearly to make out all the details necessary for the exe cution of the plans, and lay them before the Emperor for his approbation. The building of the Museum is to begin next spring, and to be completed in six years. ST. PETERF,BURGII, OCT. 20.—We have no official infor mation of the campaign against the mountain tribes of the Caucasus. The force destined to act against them was however greater in May and June than in any former year, but was considerably diminished in the sequel, when it was believed to be necessary to prepare to act if needful in the affairs of the East. But the campaign is by no means suspended, as accounts from Bessarabia pretend. Gene rals Grabbe and Rajewsky continue it with energy at dif ferent points, while General Fesi is organizing the admi nistration of Southern Daghestan, of which we are com plete masters. The subjection of the Circassians will not indeed be effected this year; on the contrary, it may be expected that this war will occupy us for some }ears to come. But the Government steadily perseveres in its plan ; it surrounds the hostile territory with a number of forts, which is gradually increased, and will in the end isolate it I A plan, the operation of which is slow, but sure. ST. SAVIOURS', SOUTHWARK. Monday, the 9.d inst., being the anniversary of the birth of Mrs. Newcomin (who left, in the year 1605, a portion of her property in truss to the above parish, for the charitable purposes of clothing poor and aged women, and educating poor youths belonging to that parish), a very large assemblage of most fashionably dressed ladies and gentlemen attended St. Peter's Church, to commemorate the occasion, when a very appropriate sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Benson, Curate of St. Saviour's. - In the evening, a number of the most respectable inhabitants of the Bo rough dined together at the Bridge House Hotel' when the worthy and much respected Warden of Newco min's Ward, Mr. Mayhew, presided. The Chairman having, in an eloquent manner, proposed the usual lo) al and patriotic toasts, afterwards, with much feeling, dwelt upon the benevolent intentions of the donor, and then proposed " The Memory of Mrs. Newcomin," which was drunk in solemn silence. The Chairman also gave an account of his Steward ship, and pointed out to his brother parishioners the great advantages likely to be derived by the youths of the parish from the mun'ficent gift of Mrs. Ncwcomin, if properly applied, and showed very clearly that the number of boys to be educated might be increased, from the fact, that since he came into office, the Wardens had made arrangements to add thirty boys to the present number ; he also showed that, in the year 1845, at least 300 might be clothed, and receive a good and substan tial education from the products of this gift. ALDERMAN HARMER AND THE MAYORALTY OF NEXT YEAR.-The adjourned preliminary meeting of the independent Liverymen, who arc desirous to secure Mr. Alderman Harmer's return to the civic chair next year, was held on Wednesday night at the Three Tuns, Coleman-street. The meeting upon the occasion was so numerous that the conspany was obliged to adjourn up stairs to the large room. Many amongst the gentlemen present, without being solicited at the last election, pledged themselves to support the worthy Alderman at the next opportunity. J. Wooler, Esq., was in the chair. The Secretary (Mr. Sheppard) read letters from Mr. Ireland, of Deptford ; Mr. Worboys, of Hackney-road ; and many other gentlemen, belonging chiefly to the publican and brewing interests, expressing their warm attachment to the cause, and offering the use of their rooms and their assist ance in canvassing gratuitously. The Chairman, in an eloquent speech, expressed his satisfaction at the bright auspices which were afforded by so numerous a meeting of their ultimate and triumphant success, and he pro ceeded to describe in perspicuous language the very simple machinery that it was necessary to establish, to call into activity the sense of the Livery, the great majority of whom were decidedly and certainly in favour of his excellent and long-tried friend, Mr. Alderman Harmer. A series of re solutions were next moved and unanimously carried, in the course of which Mr. Thomas (a member of the Corpora tion) and several others expressed themselves forcibly upon the just claims of the worthy Alderman, and his great and deserving qualities. The substance of the resolutions re solved itself into regulations for the periodical meeting of the Liverymen in support of the object in view, for the forwarding on the part of each member of the association of a correct list of the Company to which he belonged, for the raising of a subscription, to be received at the Three Tuns, to defray the necessary expenses, &c. Tho names of twenty-five gentlemen amongst those present were next added to the Committee. It was agreed that a general meeting should be held on Wednesday, the 18th instant. Thanks were voted to the secretary and to the chairman. AFFLICTING DEATH.—Late last evening an inquest was held at the St. George's Hospital, on the body of Mrs. Forrester, aged 35, wife of the secretary of the Fishmongers' Company, who was burned to death in the following dreadful manner. It appeared that the de ceased had been subject to falling fits, and on the evening of the 22d ult., in the access of one, she fell into the fire, and set her clothes on fire. She was imirediately con. veyed to the hospital. Mr. Farrant, tho house surgeon, said that on examining deceased on her admission he found her left arm consumed nearly to a cinder. She was be sides severely burnt on the chest, back, legs, and thighs. On Saturday last she was prematurely delivered of a still born child, and died on Tuesday morning last from the effect of the severe burns she had received. It was stated that deceased but a short time since had been both scalded and burned during fits, and that, though advised to do so, she would not make use of fire-guards. Verdict—" cidental death." It is a remarkable fact that, although Tuesday was the second day of term, there was not a single cause for trial, or any writs of inquiry to be executed either at the Sheriff of Middlesex's Office, Red Lion-square, or at the Secondaries', in Basinghall-street, London. Such an occurrence has seldom or ever been heard of before, and the fact strangely contrasts with the assertion that was published a few days ago, that there were upwards of 400 cases that would probably come before the Sheriff this term. This day there arc but three cases for trial. SUICIDE OF A SURGEON.—An inquest was held on Tuesday, at Billericay, before the Coroner for Essex, on the body of Mr. Martin, aged 40, Surgeon of that place, who committed suicide under the following circumstances : —lt appeared in evidence that the de. ceased, who b a d an extens i ve pract i ce, and was hi gh l y re spected in the above place, had been for some time in last, r s: his Family, as was six a delicate stat e o f h ealth, and very desponding in his man nthu'ecilrocctsitnomt,heeenin proceededg of to Sunday It chapel, I. liv i n g, the deceased at home. Soon after they had gone he told his servant that he was going to lie down for a short time, as he was not very well, and gave directions that h e was not to be called until the family returned home. On their return the servant went up to the de ceased's bedroom for this purpose, and finding the door locked on the inside she informed the family of the cir cumstance. The door was subsequently burst open, when discovered lying on the bed • • , quite life the deceased was which had • and a cup and paper contained arsenic life less, - 'the table, by the bedside. Medical aid was were on . but without effect, as it appeared the de ceasedcalled in, large a quantity as to deprive him of had taken so . time` The deceased has left life in a very short space of erdict, " Temporary In. a widow and a large family. sanity." THE SUN, LONDON, 1 1 11.URSDAY, NOVEMBER 5. 1840 as far as we can the statement that the afflicting disease of water on the brain, which is generally so fatal to infant life, and so painful, an d w hich for many years baffled medical skill, can now , if pro perly and timely treated , b e effectually and speedily cured. Blood and l we a letting, copious r einduced to suppose a and easy, is the chief remedy proper one, by the cases adduced, and by the clear manner in which Dr. Davis describes the whole proceeding. Of his merits as a physician we cannot pretend to judge, but his book is plain and unoaentatious. it has about i t no p ro f ess i o nal quackery. A short introducti on gives a neat history of the opinions and practices of physicians concerning the disease, and half i n di ca t es the true method of cure by pointing out their attempts and their errors. In the body of the wor k th e several stages of the d " symptoms arc clearly described,ans of cure adopted by the u cases. If not a va sel li a i s i a u e s a t.l in e t l e md t e s i by luable addition to medical scie nce ( o f w hi c h we can a tli ras and disease illustrated have no opinion), it is a very useful augmentation of popular information. MEMOIR OF S. TV. TILKE. Alfarsh, London, 1840. In this volume we have the autobiographical memoir of a man, whose career in life has been a chequered one, but who, after having been roughly buffeted about the world for several years, has at length, by sheer dint of perseverance, and showing a gallant front to misfortune, had the satisfaction of seeing all his efforts crowned with success. The Memoir is an interesting one, as showing what may be accomplished by energy and good conduct ; and it is written, not in a sour, jaundiced spirit, such as disappointment and misfortune often leave behind them, but in a cheerful and benevolent strain. According to his own account, I\lr. Tilke, after having been engaged in more than one trade, has now adopted the pursuit of a Medical Herba list ; and, as we gather from several anecdotes in the present Yo u e, has effected a variety of surpris ing cures in obstinate cases of gout, rheumatism, and indigestion. His mode of treating some of these diseases is fully described in the course of his Memoir, and he has added reasons explanatory of his system, so that he who runs may read. SYMONS' POPULAR ECONOMY. Henry Hooper, London. Mr. Symons, the well-known author of several tracts and reports on the condition of portions of our manufacturing population, has added to his useful labours by publishing a small treatise on Social Economy. Numerous extracts from the work have already been laid before the public, whose opinion has been formed of it before we hare had an opportunity of noticing it. To some of Mr. Symons' principles, and to some of his conclusions, we do not assent ; but most of his details have a practical utility, independently of his deductions. We can, therefore, with great truth, recommend it to general perusal as a useful and instructive work, calculated, if it foster some pre - - judices, to dissipate much ignorance, and advance the good work of elevating the condition of the labouring classes. DEARDEN'S MISCELLANY. A cheap provincial Magazine, neatly got up, and not deficient in an average quantity of readihle articles. In this month's Miscellany there is a just criticism on " Pollock's Course of Time"— a ►►oble poem, which deserves to be more ge nerally read than we fear it is ; and a tale called " Eva Moriarty," the scene of which is laid in England, in the bustling days of Queen Elizabeth. The tale is a good one, but would have been better still, had the dialogue portion of it been more curtailed. ADVANTAGES OF RAILROADS This point has been placed in so striking a light by Mr. 11 azird, of Newport, in his admirable essays en titled Facts for the Labouring Man, by a tabular com parison of the costs of travel between Baltimore and Boston, under the old system and under that of " profit less railroads," that we need no other argument to prove, that, whatever may be the lot of the proprietors who construct these public works, the community are a gainer far beyond the annual interest which they pay in Europe on the $-200,000,000, which have been taken from the strong box of the European capitalists and con verted in Republican America into the wages of labour.

In the current Number of this Journal we find two well-timed articles—one, " On the Composition and Force of the Egyptian Army ;" and the other, "On the Military Importance of Syria." In the former of these articles the writer thus sums up his account of the military character of the force at the disposal of INlehemet Ali :—" It will, on the whole, appear that, however superior the Egyptian army may have proved against the Turks and other barbarous people, it is incompetent, unless favoured by climate or by some unforeseen circumstances, to encounter successfully in the field the forces of Russia, or of any ober European military Power." Of Syria, Colonel Mackintosh, the writer of the article, says—" Difficult to conquer, it is easy to preserve when won ; and no example can be ad duced setting forth more forcibly the moral and physical weakness of the Ottoman Empire at the present day, than the fact of the ambitious Paella's having been permitted, not only to appropriate to himself the keys of his master's dominions on this side, but to establish himself in the very ante-cham ber of his empire." The gallant Colonel adds that " no invasion of Syria is to be feared from the side of Egypt from any army which cannot com mand the co-operation of a powerful fleet." ASIATIC JOURNAL. The " Campaign in Affghanistan" makes no ad dition to the store of facts we already possess on this subject ; nevertheless, it will please most readers, for it is penned in a lively and good-humoured spirit, and the article contains, besides, some graphic descriptions. " Review of Eastern News" is a serviceable summary of the most recent rumours and events in British India. The " Productive Re sources of India" is an inquiry well-suited to in terest Utilitarians. ALEXANDER'S MAGAZINE. 7 7 A periodical denoted to East Indian and Colo nial subjects, on which it appears to be generally well informed. The most readable paper in the Number now *lying on our desk, is called " Notes on the Neilgherry Hills," which states many in teresting particulars chiefly relative to their horti cultural and agricultural capability. BRITISH MAGAZINE. This is a monthly register of religious and eccle siastical information, parochial history, &c., and frequently contains valuable documents respecting the state of the poor, and the progress of educa tion. In the Fresent Number there is a sensible essay on the subject of a," Proposed Change in the Laws of Marriage." SPURTING REVIEW. The account of the horses of Egypt, Syria, and Arabia, by Colonel Vyse, possesses interest at the present time. It gives a description of the various studs belonging to Mehemet Ali, with the mode of rearing and treating horses in Egypt, and also some particulars of his travelling and state carriages, which certainly give no high idea of the progress of art in that country. Lord William Lennox has given, in a short article, an interesting history of ballooning, including most of the accidents that have occurred since the days of Montgolfier to the days of Cocking in 1837. This Number contains two excellent embellishments—" Launcelot and Maroon," by Prior, and " Maternal Affection," representing an eagle descending to carry off a sucking puppy, which is resolutely protected by the mother. MONTHLY LAW .MAGAZINE. Within the last four or five months we have noticed a marked improvement in this Magazine, which is no longer distinguished by the fierce high Tory tone that formerly characterised it. Expe rience, no doubt, has taught its conductors the pro priety of abandoning prejudice, and taking calm common sense as their guide. In the Number for , this month we have nothing to object to, but much to praise. The biographical notice of the late emi nent lawyer, Garrow, is pithily and impartially written ; and the " Casus Belli," as regards the present—temporary only, we trust—misunderstand ing between France and England, is argued with singular temper and skill. There is also a clever analysis of the extraordinary case of Madame Laf farge, which created such a sensation the other day in Paris. FARMERS' MAGAZINE. Contains two passable engravings, and one use ful, intelligent article, under the head of " The Farmers' Progress," in which the subjects of spade husbandry, draining, and agricultural economy, are discussed by a writer who appears to be thoroughly acquainted with his task. c,irwrifE SPORTSMAN. The most noticeable feature of the Number be fore us, is a portrait of Launcelot, the winner of the Great St. Leger stakes this year at Doncaster, which is cleverly engraved by Beckwith from an original picture by Turner. The literary contents are pretty much as usual. BELLE ASSEMBLEE. A monthly periodical devoted to love tales, in prose and verse, and sketches of ladies' fashions. Of the sort of thing it is a fair enough specimen. LITERATURE. FRIENDSHIP'S OFFERING. Smith and Elder, London, 1840. The Annual season is now about to set in—as Canning once observed of a cold English summer— " with its usual severity." These g littering ephe mera, however—the mere butterflies of literature, could not make their appearance at a more fitting pe riod, for the month of gloom and fog and melan choly is close at hand ; and the Annuals, with their gay - exterior, their picturesque embellishments, and their pleasant tales, in prose and verse, are Just the sort of companions likely to enable us to pass away an hour or so agreeably, by our fireside. It is for this reason—as we have more than once observed—that we make a point of treating them gently. Indeed, criticism is wholly out of place in noticing them, for they are intended only to afford amusement for an idle half hour or so to those who are willing to be entertained with the veriest trifle s ; and then to be thrown aside and forgotten. The Annual before us—" Friendship's Offering," a most conciliatory title, by-the-bye--is the first of its class we have yet seen, and hitherto has been one of the best. So far as we can judge, from a hasty perusal of its contents, there appears to be no falling off in its literary character ; while, as regards its illustrations, they are even better than they were last year. " View in the Campagna near Rome" is a picturesque sylvan sketch, which exhibits some clever effects of light and shade—to say nothing of a mountain back-ground defined with remarkable distinctness and boldness. The tiny vessel skimming across the lake, and the two male figures who are standing near a temple in the foreground, serve to break the still-life of the scene, and impart to it just that sort of animation which is wanting to complete the effect. The " Bey's Daughter" represents an Oriental landscape, over which the artist has contrived to throw the hot, sultry glare of noon-tide. The figures seated in a state of repose by the river's brink are grouped together with much elegance. " Con stantinople" brings before us, at a glance, many of the most striking architectural beauties of this Queen of Cities. The engraving is a highly finished one, even down to the minutest points, and does credit to the skill and patience of the artist, Goddan. " Mary, Queen of Scots," shows us this celebrated Princess halting in her retreat after the disastrous batticofLangside. The plate isspirited, hut the fugitives, foremost among whom stands the Queen, are huddled together too confusedly in the foreground. " The Happy Vall e y" is a truly poetic conception, and realizes Johnson's well known description ill liasselas. Great breadth of effect is given to the deep shadows in this picture. The poetry of this Annual is neither better nor worse than usual ; but the prose tales which are numerous, are most of them excellent ; and among the best, is an oriental legend entitled " The King, the Fisherman, and the Fisherman's Daughter," which possesses much of th e wild, romantic in terest of the Arabian Nights.

A somewhat curious statement appears in the Univers, which, though inserted in the Times, does not appear to have attracted the attention of the gentleman who usually does the diatribes about the insufficiency of our Navy, and the superiority of that of France. He has laboured most assi duously for some time to convince the public that they ought to be dreadfully alarmed at the small ness of our fleet, and, indulging in the exaggera tion, of which fear is generally the parent, he has magnified the resources of France, and diminished those of England, much beyond the truth. If he had been as ready to quell as to arouse the public fears, he would have taken care to comment on the statement of the Univers, that Admiral RousslN, the late French Minister of Marine, was opposed to war on account of the unsatisfactory nature of .the French maritine appointments. France is not pre pared, it is said, for a two years' war. Her dockyards are only half supplied with timber ; her forests are scarce of large trees ; and it would take a consider able time, and be a work of great difficulty, to get a supply. The whole of the article of the Univers is inserted in The Sun, and will show our readers that at least there are croakers in France as well as in England. The promptitude with which ships have been lately brought forward, and the facility with which they procured men—far greater than was ex- petted—ought to convince the public that our means of naval warfare, whether offensive or &fen- sire, may be fully relied on. Since the additional sum was voted for the Navy in 1836, the greatest care has been taken to procure an ample supply o all the materials for ship building, and no want o timber is felt in her MAJESTY'S dockyards. The building of war steamers has been inces sant ; and, in addition to those we already have afloat, six of the best and largest description, at the rate of one a month, will be ready for service by the month of May, even should the continuance of peace not make further exertions necessary. Contracts, we believe, have been entered into with steam-engine manufacturers, to have that number of engines completed by the time we have men tioned. We learn, however, from a Correspondent of the Times, that at the manufactory of marine steam-engines at Indret, they at present cannot produce larger steam-engines than 250-horse power ; but arrangements are making to enable them, by and bye, to manufacture a dozen 450- horse power engines in a year. Why, if there were a necessity for it, fifty such engines would be procured by our Government in a month in Eng land. Even, if we were threatened with an imme diate war, and happily the apprehensions of it are every day dissipating, England is in a far better state of preparation than France, and has within her, which France has not, the means of increasing her steam men-of-war, to an indefinite extent. We begin to look out for an attack in the Times on the Minto Board, for « its gigantic extrava gance." Our Contemporary always succeeds best by variety. He knows so well what are the arguments which he has lately used, t he can easily refute them, and be just as quent against Whig extravagance, and a wr the public resources, as he has been r economy, and want of foresight. author, who turns from prose to ye. works of science to works of fiction, ids' fresh vigour in every change, the Times . .18 -to gather strength by changing sides, opinions, and we expect every day that it will Huil a thunder-bolt against foolish preparations " and unnecessary expenditure." We are not sure that on such a topic, particularly after tits - alarm has passed away, it would not find more, supporters amongst the tax-hating people than It finds when it urges to expenditure and mighty,,, preparations for war. We do not suppose, however, that the Admiralty will be hastened by its tirades into the expenditure of a single sixpence more than it would expend if there were no Times in existence, because it must be assured that the Times only seeks to degrade and betray it. In the main, how ever, the public are admirers of the economy which spares their pockets, and will be more ready to find "cult with unnecessary expenditure than unnecessary The Eastern question, like every other political question which for an instant, in the age of a great nation, engrosses popular attention, has given birth to numerous pamphlets, in which those who have more to say than can be said in an after-dinner speech, or the spare column of a county newspaper , give to politicians and statesmen the fruits of their cogitations and experience on the past, passing, and future phases of (Mental policy. Among these ephemeral productions, one by Mr. WILLIAM CARGILL, of Newcastle—one of Mr. URQU HART'S fellow-labourers—merits attention, as well for the talent with which it is written, as for the perverse ingenuity with Which the writer endeavours to impute a degree of blame, disgraceful in a patriot, and most short-sighted in a statesman, to Lord PALMERSTON. Mr. CARGILL is furious at the presumed rupture between England and France ; ' but we have looked in vain through his pamphlet to discover in what way he would have effectually prevented it. His is not the erroneous common-place opinion, craftily inculcated by Russia, that the question should have been left where it stood after the battles of Koniah and Nezib, as the VICEROY had no design upon the integrity of Turkey. Mr. CARGILL traces the treason of the PACHA to its proper source, and admits, by implication, that had its operation not been prevented, Turkey must have succumbed to the dominion of the CZAR. " The connection between the PACHA of Egypt and the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh," he truly observes, " is a truth so well known, that to every one acquainted with the East it is superfluous to dwell upon it. The object of Russia is to weaken and dismember the Ottoman Empire. There is no way of doing this so effectual as to raise rebellions in provinces, which has the effect of spreading general insecurity —curtailing the extent of the empire, and making in to inveterate enemies the provinces which have thrown off their allegiance. Russia and MEHEMET ALI were therefore, from their position, bound by a common interest in their hostility to the SULTAN, an union which must be overwhelming if the nations of Europe had no interest in preventing its conse- quences. Russia could not openly support the PACHA without declaring war against Europe ; it was therefore hei interest to keep the wound open, to protract the quarrel, to increase the discord, to disguise her policy, and gain time for bringing about the opportunity to effect her purposes. It was the interest of Europe, but most especially of England and France, to heal the wound, or rather to pre vent, if possible, those seeds of discord taking root, which must bear consequences disastrous to the strength of Turkey and the common peace. It was their paramount duty to anticipate and prevent any foreign interference in the internal affairs of other States ; but when they clearly saw that the Cabinet, against whose designs alone the Ottoman empire had to be maintained in its integrity, was actively maturing plans for convulsion and dismemberment, it became a criminal betrayal of their trust to refrain from using immediate means to render the evil impos sible." And in the page immediately succeeding, he continues, in the same strain---" It was the agents of Russia herself that propagated the falsehood of MEHEMET being secretly encouraged by the SULTAN, and they also used their efforts to raise the impression that France and England did the same, that the army of IBRAHIM PACIIA might be a check on the ambitious interference of the Russian Cabinet at Constantinople. The position of IBRAHIM was so perilous, and the prospects of the success of his efforts to insurrectionise Syria so small, that he would have been quickly crushed by MAHMOUD had he only to rely on his own re sources; but the Syrians, buoyed up with the hope of finding resistance to Russia, a vast pro portion of the population declared enthusiastically for the vassal, who only und eceived them when he overthrew the SULTAN'S army at Koniah, and threatened an attack on Constantinople in 1832. The SULTAN, finding himself exposed to danger from Russia on one side, and fi om ME HEMET ALI on the o 1 ther—having scarcely which ended the Treaty yet recovered from t b ing blow of the Rus of d sian war of 1829, EVENTING EDITION. Adrianople ; and in the perfect conviction that the rebellion of his vassal was encouraged, and di rected against him by the hand of his never -sleep ing foe at St. Petersburgb, appealed to England for assistance. \Vas not this the time—eight years ago— for England to interpose, if interposition there was to be ? This was the time when one word from the British Cabinet would have destroyed the possibility of any danger to the SULTAN from MEHEMET ALI, and the still greater danger to him (and to Europe) of Russian protection. And this forms the burden of Mr. CARGILL'S complaint from beginning to end—the eight years lost in the non-reduction of MEHEMET ALI to a simpleand submissive Pacha of the Ottoman empires and which he contends Lord PAT,MERSTON COUld have effected by a word, which it was treason again st his country not to have spoken. Nov we happen to wrd" know what Lord PALMERSTON'S " SiMp le o 1 1 was worth with the PACHA in 18 38, when his Lordship advised the renunciation of Syr ia ; and if the Cabinet in 1832 was not in a condition to support words with broadsides from the woode" walls of old England, we are grateful to Lord PALMERSTON for having saved his country the disgrace of having his threats set at defiance.
