Mr. ROEBUCK lives in the atmosphere of political tumult, and likes it. Such was the humorous but plain . " 1 " 11 avowal of the Hon. and Learned Gen tleman the Member for Bath, when addressing the Literal electors of London, on Friday, on the pro priety of accepting the four popular candidates— LARPENT, PATTISON, ROTHSCHILD, and RUSSELL. A politician who undertake s to represent the opinions of any given constituency in Parliament, with any latent disrelish for the toils and agitations of legis lation, is not the sort of man to select among the different candidates. Indifference, even, is a charac teristic which should be considered sufficient to dis qualify any person from receiving the suffrages of the ionfranchised million. There must be a rnanisfesta lion of something more than a tacit willingness to partake in the rather onerous duties of the House of Commons before a candidate; can look with confidence or the approval of the electors of the United King dom. This, at least, should be the common agree ment of the householders and fr b e e e h h o o l l d de a rs p of ar t l h ia e m e e m ni ?ire, if they are solicitous to fruitful in measures, and improvements, and inno vations f or th e a d van t ag e of themselves and their pcisterity. Exactly this kind of politician in ardour, in enthusias m , in consistency, in perseverance, and in . a natural and positive liking for the atmosp h ere of peatical tumult, is Mr. ROEBUCK. The motto of his IP•arliamentary life, moreover, has been from first to Va3t, ; " Civil and Religious Liberty." Those, therefore, 4 the Bath constituency who are not pre-poisoned t e y the virus of bigotry and intolerance will not I tightly abandon the advocate who has so long and t earnestly laboured at St. Stephen's in the cause of 1 progress and civilization. Satisfied as we are that the opinions of such a man gi a Mr. ROEBUCK must be listened to with respect by t isl own personal electors, «e are no less convinced t hat his opinions will weigh considerably with those c aliens of the metropolis who are possessed of the jective franchise, and who are at the same time determined to give their votes to none other than the real friends and champions of the people. The speech in which the Honourable and Learned Gentleman the Member for Bath reviewed the merits of the four Liberal candidates for the representation of London was candid, bold, and logical in its very abruptness. If there might be supposed to be any bias in the mind of Mr. ROEBUCK with reference to Lord J. RUSSELL as a political leader, one would expect it to be rather a bias averse than favourable to that eminent statesman. So, at least, the super ficial observer would calculate from the frequency with which Mr. ROEBUCK'S name has appeared in opposition to the measures of the Prime Minister. Differing, however, as the Member for Bath does upon many points with the Premier, what is the opinion expressed by him of the character of that Noble Lord P " A more high-minded, straightfor ward, and honest man than Lord J. RUSSELL I do not know." That is surely a splendid panegyric. To how many Prime Ministers bygone would those three adjec tives apply besides Lord J . RUSSELL? To how many politicians ? To how many public characters ? And the Premier has not only earned such eulogiums for straightforwardness, highmindedness, and honesty by a long, active, and enterprising career as a reforming statesman ; he has done immeasurably more, he has preserved undiminished that ardour for the general good, that love of liberality, that passion for legisla tion, and that inflexible resolution to toil, and even to drudge, unceasingly in public business, which are the only true qualifications of the leader of a Government. If the electors of London, therefore, are desirous to be represented by a man who is capable of inhaling the atmosphere of political tumult, and who has ac tually a relish for it, they can have no hesitation whatever as to the acceptance or the rejection of Lord JOHN RUSSELL. His political creed, moreover, is pre cisely the same as when he last appeared before them on the hustings in Guildhall. He was there received with the enthusiasm due, not so much to the fact of his being the descendant of a patriotic race, as to that great fact of his Parliamentary life—his ardour in the cause of liberality. Let him and his colleagues be received with not one jot less of enthusiasm, for the same reason exists to-day as existed yesterday. Be sides, what can be expected from the opponents of Lord Jowl RUSSELL and his brother candidates ? What can be expected from men, the beatings of whose hearts are for the reverse of the sublime prin ciples of civil and religious liberty ; of men who, in an age of " progression," are for a moral " stoppage" that would prove disastrous and destructive ; of men whose animosity to such practical measures as that of sanatory improvement damn them to everlasting fame as THE DIRTY POLITICIANS ? The long-expected proposition on behalf of the Spanish Government has at length been submitted to its duped and deluded creditors. The bantling pro duced after Mr. HENDERSON'S nine months' labour in Madrid, after his interviews with Spanish Ministers and diplomatists of various nations, as at length made its appearance, and truly a more striking illustration of the old fable has seldom been witnessed. " Montes parturiunt, nascitur ridiculus mus," may well be applied to the project extracted with so much difficulty from Senor SALAMANCA, and ushered in by his extravagant protestations as to his anxiety to restore Spanish credit, and to do all that is befitting, or can be looked for, from Spanish honour. Truly that honour must be of a very evanescent character if nothing better or more tan gible can be looked for at the hands of the nation. " Base is the slave that pays," said ancient PISTOL in the olden time, and that Shakesperian worthy appears to have been the pro totype of modern Ministers of Finance in Spain, the model they aspire to imitate. Perhaps there is not an equally unblushing refusal. Something ap• proaching to an apology may be made to the un happy creditors. The Speech from the Throne may announce the royal desire that something may be done, which will be duly heard, applauded, and responded to verbally in the Cortes ; but something invariably occurs to lead to further procrastination, and to induce the representatives, in tender consider ation for the financial difficulties of the Ministry, to adjourn to a future convocation the question in which, matters of such trivial import as the national honour and the national honesty only are at stake. Far better for its members to intrigue for new changes in the Ministry, to give each successive member of the various Cabinets which are set up and pulled down with such edifying regularity, after an official existence of a few brief months, a full opportunity of accumulating a large private for tune by the vilest system of corruption and pecula tion, while the honest creditors, who advanced their fortunes on the national faith, are involved in destitu tion and ruin. Far better that they should prate of " protection to their national industry," and with wilful blindness continue those exclusions and pro hibitions that lead to an organized and extensive system of smuggling, that make wealthy capitalists invest their money in the contraband trade as readily, and with as few scruples of conscience, as if it were an ordinary and legitimate commercial speculation— that converts their hardy border peasants, qualified for much higher pursuits, into lawless and de moralised banditti, contemners and despisers of the law (within whose meshes only small game are en tangled), and ready for any enterprise or act of any de gree of daring or atrocity, from the sale of a contraband cigar to plundering and holding to ransom the way faring traveller, or plunging their stilettos into the hearts of the victims who may' have excited their anger, or for whose removal a sufficient sum is offered, than comply with the vulgar prejudice in favour of payment of debts. By a judicious change and alteration in their laws they would be enabled easily to obtain funds amply sufficient for all the exigencies and wants of the country, and the punctual discharge of their national liabilities and obligations, were they really anxious to redeem the national character; but so long as England will patiently see her subjects swindled out of their property, and they them selves can be amused and satisfied with frivolous and evasive pretexts or apologies, so long will the discredit able system so long resorted to, be continued and perpetrated. We have too long been amused with fair words--a more energetic course must be adopted. The present offer is altogether " a mockery, a de lusion, and a snare." It opens with a modest propo sition, that the bondholders should voluntarily give up a certain portion of the principal money due to them ; that they should relinquish twelve per cent. of their claims, this sum amounting to more than 8,000,0001. sterling on the full amount of the bonds, and to 4,520,0001. on the 46,000,0001. sterling due to British subjects, is at once and irrevocably to be sa crificed ; nay, far worse, it is not merely its sacrifice, that is the chief objection. It is to be handed over to the Spanish Ministry, for the purpose of being sold in the market, and the proceeds handed over to the Spanish Exchequer; if dolts sufficiently stolid, if dupes with more money than wit, sufficiently credu lous, can be found to invest their money in such a lot tery,pr.ze s t h a e re m al o l st extracted, praiseworthy and thebl f a r n oin ks whence distributedthe with impartiality. This is the pivot . or turning point of the whole proposition. Spain again wishes to become a borrower, but her disgraced and dishonoured secu rities will not now attract the veriest idiot. The Proposed loan of 1,000,000/. on Treasury bonds is going begging. No contractor or capitalist of any character will meddle w ith instruments of so bmg de gradeddefiled a c h aracter. " Who can touc h p it c h without It would indeed be a high and un blemished reputation that could sustain without damage the general indignation that would be aroused by the transaction. must be d ev i sed New schemes,there fore,to replenish the exhausted treasury; and what more brilliant than to extract from the pockets of th ose already a impoverished cre ditors a further contrib u ti on , on promisehence forward to act mare fairly than has eretofore b een the case. But this free gift to the Spanish Government not all that is demanded. The Bonclhoiders aeal- is o Ito consent to a reduction of t he future rate of rot e _ rest on their debts of no less than 2 out of the 5 per cent. at present promised, or at least to which they are legally and equitably entitled. A rather modest request this, that the parties should immediately re linquish 50 per cent of their just demands, should accept a compromise of lOs. in the pound from their debtor. This sacrifice, heavy as it is, might be sub mitted to, if the amount of the composition were to be paid in cash, or even sufficiently guaranteed by other and more solvent sureties. But let u* see what is offered in return. Nothing, literally nothing —or, rather worse thaa nothing ; the payment of the residue is, forsooth, henceforward to be secured on the Customs exclusively, and the creditor is to give up his demand, for the payment of which the entire of the revenues of the State are pledged, for half the amount secu"ed in one branch only of that revenue, and that the branch h;ch, from their in sane commercial policy is rendered comparatively worthless ! As well might a bankrupt or insolvent debtor offer to his creditors that, in case they should consent to relinquish a moiety of their claims, and to strike off the name of every endorser from their bills who may be liable as a security, that he will promise to pay them at his perfect convenience the remaining balance, they being contented with his own security for the performance of that promise. There is little reciprocity in this ; it would savour strongly of what is termed by lawyers nuclum pactum, where all the advantages would be on one side, and no corresponding benefit of any sort to the other. Persons do not generally make large sacrifices, abandon considerable portions of their principal money, and release and exonerate any portion of the securities they hold, without some sort of considera tion; therefore a proposition such as we have above described would be scouted with well-merited in dignation if put forward by an individual, and such will, no doubt, be the fate of that which has just been submitted to the Spanish Bondholders. Madrid papers of the 20th have arrived. The QUEEN was to leave Madrid for La Granja on that day. The Moderadoes and Progresisstas are busily engaged in holding electoral meetings, as a dissolution of the Cortes is considered by no means improbable. Money still continues very scarce, and it is said there is no cash in the Treasury to pay the troops what became due to them on the 10th. A band of Carlists in Catalonia stopped the mail from Madrid to Barcelona, burnt the coach, and took the driver and courier prisoners. MADRID BOLSA, JULY 10.—The Three per Cents. 26 money; Five per Cents. 164 money, 17 paper ; Debt without interest simoney, q paper; Coupons 15 money. , THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, JULY 19, 1847. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The Court of Peers remained in secret deliberation on :the Cubieres case during the whole of Wednes day, and separated without coming to any decision• They were to re-assemble the next day, when it was supposed sentence would be pronounced, they having already, it is said, determined upon a verdict of guilty against all the accused. General CUBIERES has sent to the KING his resignation of the dignity of a peer, and of his commi,sion as Lieutenant-General. M. TESTE, since his late attempt at suicide is kept under rigid surveillance. The Droit says— "lt was reported yesterday that the per on who took the pistols to M. Teste loaded them himself ; but being inexperienced in the use of such tv , apons, and not being aware that they were screw barrels, loath. d them from the muzzles. and lest a vacuum between the powd. r and the ball, which lessened the force of the shots. M. Taste has, during the last two d•i3 s, received numerous visits, and is surrounded by all his late secretaries, who never quit him." Each day brings to light some fresh instance of corruption on the part of the Beaurocracy of France. The Presse says — "It is affirmed that M. Ardit, Chief of the Bureau dt s Prisons in the office of the Minister of the Interior, and whose brother was compromised by the recent affair at the Maisun de Clairvaux, is removed from office. It is added, that a judicial i, query is about to take place." Algiers papers to the 10th have been received. The Moniteur Algerien of that date says— " After having completed the p mification of the mountains between Collo, Milah, and the sea coast, the expeditionary column of Lieutenant General Bedeau was dissolved on the 30th ult. That of Bona, under the orders of Colonel Senilhes, will continue until the 15th inst. its operations against the turbulent tribes of the frontier. More detailed accounts from Morocco, without contradicting the news already given by us, per mit us to view it in a more favourabl- light. It appears that Muley Abderrahman is decided this time to avenge the insult he has received. The troops united under the command of his son, Muley Mohammed, are marching against the Emir, and the latter appears to be very uneasy. No tribe has proclaimed him Sultan, nor does any tribe, even in the Riff, seem disposed to throw off the very light yoke of the old Emperor to im pose on itself in all the dangers of a revolution that of the Emir, to whom is attached besides all the weight of an eternal contest with us. In this position, Abd el-Kader endeavours to calm Abderrahman by very sig nificant acts of respect. He delares that- he has no hos tile intention towards him, and ascribes his attack upon the camp of El Hamar to the provocation and menaces that he has received. If his excuses are not received, everything tends to show that at this moment the advan tages are on the side of legitimate power. Thus the events which at first occasioned us serious uneasiness would lead to the most satisfactory and most unexpected solution." The Akbar of the 9th states that a great part of the harvest in Algeria has been destroyed by locusts. The Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday con cluded the discussion on the budget of expenses for 1848. The sitting was marked by a short explana tion from M. Gurzor on the new arrangement entered into by the French and English Governments relative to certain islands of Oceania. An attempt was made to have the discussion on the Lyons and the Avignon Railway Bills postponed to next session, but the Chamber decided that they should be disposed of at once. • The Paris Bourse of Thursday was remarkable for a considerable fall in prices that took place towards the close of the market., Northern shares (ex divi dend) reached 5734, which, with the dividend (or interest of 4f.) would indicate 5774, and they closed at 565, being a fall from the highest price of 84f This decline was the more remarkable because the returns of the receipts for the week ending Friday last showed an increase of nearly 30,0001., the gross amount being 320,4961. The shares of all the other lines fell more or less, but Government stock remained unaltered. The Three per Cents, closed on the Paris Bourse on Thursday at 77f. 65c., the Five per Cents. at 118t1 50c.; the Orleans Railroad Shares. 1,2721. 50c. ; Rouen, 962 f 50c. ; 1 - lavre. 686 E 2 , c. ; Great Northern, 565 E ; Avignon. 623 t. 75c. ; Vierzon, 587 f. 50e. ; Bordeaux, 4801. ; Boulogne, 392 f. 50c.; Basle, 1831:75e.; Paris and Strasburg, 420 t. ; Tours and Nantes, 395 f.; Paris and Lyons, 427 f 50c.; Lyons and Avignon, 430 t. ; Bordeaux and Cette, 4604 Spanish Three per Cents., 32 1 ,4 ; Ditto, Passives, 4%.

THE NEWSVENDERS' ANNUAL DINNER.—That useful class of society, the newsvenders of the metropolis, partook of their annual dinner on Thursday. at Mr. Hinton s, Highbury Barn Tavern, Islington, about two o clock. Nearly three hundred boys sat down to a most excellent dinner, and who seemed highly delighted with the festive scene. About seven o'clock nearly two hundred men and their wives also sat down to a most sumptuous dinner. Great praise is due to the stewards, Messrs. Spilling, Wild, Violet, and Fielding, for the able manner in which they conducted the dinner. About ten o'clock the ball-room was thrown open, and dancing was kept up till three o'clock in the morning. The company departed highly gratified with the day's amusement. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.—A fatal accident occurred on this line on Friday to Robert Parker, an engine-driver. It appears that the deceased was driving a train of " empties, ' and as he approached Manser Bridge, which is a "trussed" one, he fancied that the feed-pipe of the engine had become disconnected. He accordingly leant over the engine to see, when he unfortunately struck against the bridge, and was thrown from it on to the line. The stoker being engaged at the time, did not miss the un fortunate man until the train arrived close to the Hert ford Junction, when he immediately reversed the engine and went back to look for him. A train from Brox bourne was very close behind the "empties,"-and before the signal of the stoker was observed, the ash-pan of the engine struck the unfortunate man, who was lying dis abled on the line, and caused his immediate death.

To meet the demands upon it the Bank, as usual, has obtained the refunding of temporary loans, but in a week or two, and perhaps even now, may be renewing its accommodation to the full extent to customers and others. The pay ments from the Bank have been met partly by an exten sion of issues, and partly by a distribution of coin. There are no lace ship arrivals to-d a y , an d b ut littl e local news is to be obtained. Electioneering now en grosses chief attention, and the canvassing is conducted with some spirit and zeal. The Funds have been lower. Consols 884 to 89 for transfer, and 89 to 4 for August. Exchequer-bills have been 9s. to 12s. premium. The influence of the Consol settlement being partially over, the Stock Market is now quieter. Bank Stock is worth 196, and East India Stock 2444. The New Three -and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 914 to 4. The Foreign S -curities have been very dull. Spanish Five per Cents. are 21f to Ir. Equa for Bonds have been at 34, and Ctiilian at 924. Dutch Two. and-a-Half per Cents. 578 4. There is generally a steady market for Railway Shares, but some few exceptions may be noted. Eastern Coun ties are flat, partly owing to a statement that the divi dend will not be supported. Windsor and South- Western are higher, as it is expected the line will be favourably leased. Northern of France Shares are rather dull. Great Western are firmer, and Brighton a shade lower. 1-11{1TISII FUNDS. ONE CLOSING O'CLOCK. PRICES.

"1 lIURSDAY.—The supply of wools coming V• market is rather on the increase, but limited by the high prices sought by the growers, which acts as a draw back to more xtended operations. In prices there is no change. nits and brokes are more inquired for, and a shade better prices are realised. The demand fig' yarn for h• me consumption continues active. The shippers are also doing more, but there is no improvement in prices to induce, the spinners to increase the present diminished production. The continuance of the present beautiful weather gives a tone of confidence in the piece market, and both the home merchants and shippers are doing a fair business. The stocks of Fine Cobourgs are light, and the prices they are commanding will d e t er t h e manufacturers from increasing the supply. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—We have had a large business in cloth this week, and the best proof that can be given of an improved state of things is, per haps, that the carriers are all of them busy ; a great contrast this from what was the case two or three months ago. Prices, however, scarcely keep pace with the ad vance on the staple, but if the present demand continues, all will soon be right, that is, the manufacturers and spinners will be enabled to realise a fair profit. A very large export business is going on. The home trade is improving. raduall in- LElCESTEll.—Confidence seems to be g y creasing, and the workmen begin to be more generally employed. The demand for cotton goods has prevented straight-down worsted hose inc reasin g , and stocks in hand, both of that sort and regular wrought, are tii i con sidered light for the season. A shipping tradede is doing in shirts and drawers. Yarns are more n demand; , the hosiers are laying in their stocks , believin g they as have seen their lowest point. The spinners state they cannot replace their stocks at the present price of wooly in which more is doing at a trifling advance in late prices. —Leicester Journal.

THE ROYAL YACHTS.—Hundreds are daily availing themselves of the kindness of Lord A. Fitsclarenee in allowing every one who pleases to go over the Victoria and Albert and the Fairy. The boatmen are reaping a good harvest. _ _ _ The yachting season, which has been so long delayed this year, appears to be aboat to commence in earnest. Numerous fashionable visitors are daily arriving, and the applications for houses increase; but we never re member so many houses to let at this late period before. THE HARVEST.—AII sorts of corn promise well. The harvest will commence in about three weeks. Beans, peas, turnips, &c., want rain. The potatoes never looked better, but cannot long stand out against the continued thought. NELsom's COLUMN.—On Friday the works at Nelson's Column, Tiafalgar-square, after a lapse of nearly two months, were once more resumed, and, in conseqii.,:nce of the recent grant made by the House of Commons, it is said that this national monument is at length to be comp!eted without any further delay. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—The late assistant-surgeon of the Conway, Mr. Thomas Hart, committed suicide in Portsmouth this morning, leaving a note at his hotel, that dis:topointed hopes of his promotion hard been the eaase. It should however be observed, that one of his messmarrss saw him tipsy in the Lair last night. The marble statue of Prince Albert, erected by the merchants and underWriteis, in- commemoration of his Rod al Highness having laid the first stone of the Royal Exchanue, has been placed on the pedestal in the vesti bule of Lloyd's, and will he open. for the inspecdon of the public on Monday next, the 19th instant, at two o'clock.

The niaiti incidents of the story were certainly at variaise with the ordi nary laws of romance, and, parhaps, in consequence, found little favour with the " sentimental" class of novel readers. Neverthdess, the story, on the whole, 1:t, y C which was not car ried out to the sattshivilmi of the majority : for such was the disorderly conduct of the rabble alluded to, that not one halt of his Lordship's ob,ervations could po•sihly have been lu-artY, at any distance from the was one iully calculated not only to rtfi,ct credit noon its writer,' but to confer n benrtit upon platf)rm. • It was proposed, s.conded, and- carried, that Jr• Charles E. Wagstaff, churchwarden, take the chair. all who might attentively pet use it—the benefit of a good example. Generally speaking, the most improhab'e legend, or the most impossible fairy tale, is supposed to inculcate one moral by its danouement which almost invariably exhibits the punishment of vice or the reward of virtue, to effect which, some times the most unharmed for transformations take P lace , and the most marvellous achievments are ac complished. In so much the srcry of " Emilia Wyndham" resembled its more romantic confreres, but the happy result which crowned the fortunes of its heroine was obtained only by very ordinary means. Placed in a most trying situation in the midst of unpropitious circumstances, she is rendered ultimately happy by no lucky chance or no sudden change of fortune but in patience and perseverance, and a zealous discharge of daily du ties, she pursues the even tenor of her way, and the way becomes smooth and not less peaceful. The obstacles in her path are overcome, by no violent shock, but are rather melted away impercepti bly, as the dripping water wears away the stone. The lesson, consequently, was likely to be effective — a " battle of life," fought with weapons within the reach of all. The story of " Norman's Bridge" is of an opposite character ; it aspires to teach by re pulsion rather than attraction. Not by pourtraying the beauty of a virtuous life, does it bid us " go and do likewise," but by exhibiting its baneful effects it inspires us with detestation for an unhappily but too common sin—" covetousness, which is idolatry." As a whole, perhaps, the story is hardly so pleasing as " Emilia Wyndham," but individual portions are ex ceedingly beautiful. The style is forcible and earnest and runs on in an easy and agreeable manner. There is a certain abruptness in the manner of narration and a superabundance of breaks, dividing the chapters into separate fragments, which perhaps savours some what of affectation, although it certainly produces effect. The story is so entirely different from the ordi nary routine, that without briefly mentioning some of its chief incidents, it will be impassible to give even an idea of its peculiarities. The first volume begins with the suddenness to which we have alluded. " Take heed and beware of covetousness. Take heed, my brethren, I say, and beware of covetousness ' for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth." This is the text of a sermon preached in a little chapel in the mountains of Scotland one Sunday in the last century. Among the humble congregation are the hero and heroine of our tale. Michael Grant, the " modern Midas" whose chequered career serves to illustrate the demoralising influence of avarice, is a shepherd youth, whose early life had passed some • what like that of the far-famed Norval ; but like many another humble individual, Michael is ambitious,-and longs to fill a prominent place in the world. Survey ing mankind with a shrewd, but superficial glance, the result of his reflections shows that money is the prime agent in the affairs of men, and, consequently, that the possessor of great wealth is necessarily a great man. "IA hat is birth in comparison with money ? Who cares for a Duke in rags ? Who asks after the ancestry of the poor ? In knowledge— Who asks.after the ability of the poor ? " Michael resolves to be a rich man, and, possessing considerable abilities, the task, though arduous, is not impossible. He proceeds to England, and the first volume records his perseverance and parsimony while filling the office of clerk in a large establishment, and endeavouring, out 01 his wages, to save up money enough to buy a part nership in the business. But he is not alone, he is accompanied from Scotland by his young bride Mary, "than whom never Scottish Mary was more lowly, more lovely, more tender, or more true." This Msry is a very beautiful and natural character. very beautifully and naturally pourtrayed. The passages which relate more especially .to her, which reveal her secret emotions, her devoted love and hem many trials, are written with much simplicity and genuine feeling. It is in these portions of her work. more especially, that the authoress is revealed, not withstanding her assumed disguise. The " Old Man," under whose name she writes, would hardly have entered so readily into Mary's sorrowful feelings on parting from her early friends, or have told us hors every woman of feeling, when she loves her father's roof, looks round - with something of the tender re gret of Eve when quitting Paradise." The first volume is, perhaps, the most interesting, it con tains almost a perfect story in itself, namely, the history of the early troubles of Michael and Mary, occasioned chiefly by poverty, but which afterwards gave way to others of a more painfu kind. The old but often refuted adage—" Wher , poverty comes in at the door, love flies out at the window,"—was, in their case exactly reversed. As their poverty decreased, their mutual confidence and sympathy decreased likewise, the avarice of Michael increased with his wealth, and though tenderly attached to his wife he could not part with his gold even to gratify her wishes or contribute to her comforts, and she became aware of this, and though still devoted to him as entirely as when she left all for him, the love subsisting between them became ultimately somewhat akin to the light which renders ",arkness visible," or "the hope whiei keeps alive despair." In this, as in other instances, Michael fulfils his character of the " Modern Midas,' turning what he touches into gold. But, nevertheless, - like all other misers reversing the spell of the philo sophers stone—that was intended to transmute base metals into a precious one, but they literally fulfilling the desire of Brutus " coining their hearts and drop ping their blood for drachms," only convert priceless affections and precious feelings into what is after all but a metal, and base when composed with what it is bartered for. We have lingered so long over thi, portion, that we can only enumerate the other inci dents of Michael's career, many of them are pos• -,essed of much and even immediate interest owing to the circumstance of their being interwoven with passing events, for example the famine and distress of 1800, and the influence of a paper currency which trear a conspicuous part in the fortunes of the miser rn the approach of the famine. Michael, with hi, usual foresight, buys up corn at a low rate to sell it ifrerwards at a high one. This speculation, however. lucrative as it ultimately proved, tad nearly cost him ins like , lie being seized upon by the mob during a corn riot, and only rescued by the zealous interfe rence of Lord Strathnaer, a young nobleman, pos sessing property in the neighbourhood. Michael is conveyed to his house; and here, while recovering from the effects of the injuries he had received, forms daring plans for the future. Looking frcm the win dows of Lord Strathnaer's castle, which is situated near the mouth of a river, he remarks how the waters have receded during a few years, leaving a bare ex panse of unsightly mud banks. He proposes to Lord Stri,tri a?.r to confine the waters by a dyke and flood gates at the mouth of the river, and then to drain the estuary, and convert it into corn fields, thus affording to the starving population present employ ment, and a prospect of future plenty. Lord Strath naer agrees to the proposal, but Lord Strathnaer is poor; Michael advances the money. Foreseeing, how ever, that his supplies, great though they be, will be exhausted before the remunerative repayment can take place, Michael, who enjoying the unenviable title of miser, is possessed of credit almost in finite, resolves to turn it to account ; and, accordingly, sets up a bank, and pays in paper. m T h e netsudden utransformationdiffusion of effected one y b y in t h t e h m i hitherto desponding village of Norman's Bridge is very vigor ously described, and bears out the observation of the author that "the circulation of money in the body politic is as the circulation of blood in the body indi vidual. A free and rapid circulation is what invigo rates the frame ; the same mass inert and languid nourishes not." It is needless to pursue the story further; from this brief sketch it will be seen that it possesses materials of general interest, and is likely, therefore, to afford amusement to many not generally included in the class of novel readers. While the domestic career of Mary, to which we have already alluded, and the history of her grand-daughter Joan, and the family of Lord Strathnaer, will serve to in terest those of a more romantic taste. Apart from the moral which they are intended to convey, these volumes are chiefly attractive from the general spirit of kindliness by which they are pervaded; from the genuine simplicity and naturalness with which the domestic incidents are pourtrayed ; and fr• m the in teresting and life-like delineations of some of the chief personages the tale. The moral of the whole is very forcibly expressed in a sentence by Bishop Bwveridge, on the title-page, which can hardly be too often repeated. " Will riches do it ? No ; I may as soon undertake to fill my barns with gtace as my heart with gold; and as easily stuff my bogs with virtue as ever satisfy my d es i re s slip wealth." Mr. WAGsIAFF, On taking the chair, made some observatiowi which were wh. , lly inaudible, but which we understood to be in favour of Lord Dudley Stuart. When the creators of the uproar hmd made them selves hoarse by screaming and yelling, and were compelled to pause for breath, Mr. Wagstaff Was heard to say that it was impo,sible to forth an opinion on a dispute between any two or more persons, with out hearing them all, an ob,ervation which met with great applause. Mr. Wagstaff then introduced Lora BROMPTON HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AND DIEcAsE OF THE CHEST.—On Fii lay evening 9 meeting of the committe of management was held in the Board room of the institution, when plans and elevations of the proposed new chapel (for the erection of which a Special subscription is opened) was submitted by the architect, Fraoei4. E.,(1 . of Cork-street, Burlington-zardens. The meeting adjourned at a late hour until Thuralay next. Among the distinguished names recently placed upon the visitors' book, is that of his Royal flightless Prime peter of Oldenalz. Dudley Stuart. Lord DUDLEY STUART said he was not at all surprised at tee excitement. of the worthy electors- The contest, if such it might be called—but be pre" (erred to call it rivalry—would be at end on Monday' and it must be expected that the electors would feel some excitement as the decisive moment approached. —(Hear, hear.) For his part he was- not at all angry with those who opposed him.—(Hear, hear.) He expected people to differ in opinion, and if thee) differed with him he bore it with perfect geed humour, even though the mode of expressing their I pinions might be rather uproarious. —(Cheers, and counter cheers.) His Lordship then proceeded to give an outline of his past conduct and present sen' timents, the greater part of which was inaudible in the uproar and confusion. Several placards with the inscription "V.R..for all England, R.V. (Harvey) for Marylebone," were raised on sticks in the body of the hall, and suspended by strings from the gallery, and shouts raised of " No Lords in the Commons," Bcn• His Lordship alluded to a bill which had been circa' lated in the borough, containing slanderous attack); upon him on account of votes made by him while in, Parliament.--(Cries of " Pension List," groans an d cheers.) Yes, one of them was his vote against Mr. Daniel k. hittle Harvey's motion for an inquiry into the Pension List.—(Uproar.) lie was about to spec' of it. He did not shrink from speaking of it. He was not ashamed of it.—(Oh! oh ! and cheers.) At the commencement of the reign of King William th e Fourth, an arrangement was made between the Sing and the Parliament, after an inquiry into the who ° . subject, that if he, the King, would give up one ha, of the amount usually placed at his disposal, he shen s continue to enjoy the remainder the whole of DP reign. That arrangement having been made by th e Parliament with the King, ought not to be violat e ' . —(Hear.) When he (Lord D. Stuart) made a gain he kept it—(Hear) —be it with a King or wilt a cobbler.—(Laughter.) In fact, the Parliana„rea could not break the compact. Now Mr. D. ' Harvey did not bring in his motion before that OM' •act was made.—(Hear, hear.) He did not bring it in when it might have been of use--(Hear) .-- and when nearly the whole House would bole voted for it ; but when the bargain was struck, wh,, en the house could not draw back, but must let the MILT, stand as it was, then Mr. D. W. Harvey brought his motion for an inquiry.--(Applause.) What We the use of bringing in a motion for an inquiry whi ff must end in nothing ?—(Hear, hear.) For his he could see no advantage to be derived from it., n e could he regret that he had opposed it.—(cliee t3 ; counter cheers, and hisses.) His Lordship procee dec : further in his vindication of himself, but was alean; inaudible during the whole of the remainder of his Address, notwithstanding the remonstrance of t Chairman who observed that, though they had et there to be governed by the majority, they were to governed by the minority.---(Great uproar.) His Lordship, after the conclusion of his addre s t s ; e rave answers to questions from several electors as lis opinions on several political topics. Mr. HUM, who described himself as a Gbartis:„ o (Laughter, and " Ruffy, or Ruffi-an ?" from in the hall)—proposed a resolution, That the Ine e ot ng congratulate Lord Dudley Stuart on his rec.e.„, :hanges of opinion, and compliment him on hisr. provement in oratory, under the tuition of 0-1* Douglas and his friends.—(Cries of " Hollo, Doug las !' ) At the same time they cannot give his 14g eo ship their support, as, being Radical Reformers , can never vote for amen who is in favour of the eonJ tinuance of church-rates and the endowment te'l Popery."—(Hear, and," No, no!") As some gentlet....P -ried " No," he would, before proceeding -with t,';`: resolution, orris observations on it, ask hi s Lordfi l in i whether he bad not already stated that-h e 101: favour of church-rates and the endowment of Pori; Lord DUDLEY STUART thought he had already .. ." distinctly enough that he was not in favour of eitnt —(Hear, hear.) He said that he considered tt church-rates as a most odious and vexatious imp , * —(Hear, hear.) As to the endowment of .PoperP he had said that he thought the Established ChurcD in England and the Free Kirk in Scotland, being the , Church of the majority, ought to be maintained anv the expense of those who used them. The Ro o t Catholic Church was the Church of the majority Ireland ; and if they, the majority, the Ro na _3atholics, chose to have an Established Church, e ar) were willing to pay for it themselves—(Hear, 1 1 11, 4 —he thought they had a right to do so—(Cheers) ish he would never consent to the endowment of the Tr Roman Catholic Church at the expense of the Pi c/ glish Protestants.—(Great applause.) He beli eve if that the Roman Catholics did not wish it ; bu t 0 they did, he thought it better they should 1 10 '4 Roman Catholic religion, much as he disapPO l il , of the tenets o f th a t re li g i on , th an no re li g i on at P r , —(Hear, hear, and No, no !)

As to chane,,, opinion, he could only say that he al wa y s bad rf ul t ,." and always would be, a thorough Reformer.-0170 Mr. RUFFY then proceeded with the reading 0 % of resolution, which occupied two sides of a shee; ; note paper ! and which concluded by recommena ln d his Lordship to retire in favour of Mr. Harvey, e„ ti a in a long address, too, abused Lord D. Stuart sl"ci tibiamuch friend Mr. Douglas, to his heart's content, ,e,,1 0 much to the delight of the R. V.-ites, who by w ds time had hoisted about half a dozen of the place; in various parts of the room. Mr. Ruffy covelun, by saying, that if Lord Dudley Stuart was eleeT, he would devote himself to the interests not of t people, but of the aristocracy, of which he We s member. ANOTHER GENTLEMAN, who also said he was a &Ira tist, addressed the meeting in a similar strain, ell seconded the resolution. Several Gentlemen addressed the meeting at so:: length, complaining of the unfairness of Mr. Rally, misrepresentations of Lord Dudley Stuart's state ments. One gentleman gave quotations from t . „,,," - speeches made by Mr. D. W. Harvey when in DP,. !lament, in one of which lie declared that free trad e was a delusion, and in the other, that " so far frail advocating revolutionary principles, he was opposej, to the Vote by Ballot, Universal Suffrage, a n d Sher" Parliaments.—(Groans) Asking, at the same thn e : what reliance could be placed on that g e ntleraee'' consistency.—(Hear, hear.) An amendment, to the effect that Lord D. Stuart b was a fit and proper representative for the Boreng was proposed and seconded. A GENTLEMAN, who was so much interrupted b i c i contending yells and cheers that scarcely a word 0 1 0 be heard distinctly, defended Lord D. Stuart • fr o the attacks made upon him, and insisted that he at °° before the electors of Marylebone upon the hig „ p ilbe grounds upon which any Englishmen could claim c b suffrages of his countrymen. The confusion wh i t° interrupted the speaker could not besdis ag reeable coo his Lordship if it were only occasioned by an h e %,e; eagerness to express a difference of opinion, for a Lordship bad frequently declared in Parliament 11P a r amongst the friends of the Poles that he liked to !r ho a difference of opinion expressed, because it was y, privilege of freemen to differ in opinion." Lord ea Stuart held that it was on ly d espot i sm t h a t enferch a uniformity of opinion, and so f ar h e was as muc h Nonconformi s t" " Nonconformist" as th e mos t sec t ar i an o f his ponents.
