LORI) CARDIGAN AND THE HORSE GUARDS. The following is a copy of the letter addressed by Captain Reynolds to the Noble Lord, com plaining of the terms in which his Lordship al luded to Captain Reynolds' absence from the party in Brunswick-square. The Earl of Cardigan, as is well known, declined to make any reply, but personally enjoined Captain -Reynolds to confine himself in hie communications to his commanding officer to strictly official business ; whereupon the second letter was written. In addition to this letter we give another addressed to a Morning Contemporary, by " Argus," which g ives the un initiated a peep behind the curtain at the Horse Guards, and shows how the kindness of the good old King and Lord Hill has been requited. The document dated from the Horse Guards relative to General Sleigh, the officer who reprimanded Captain Reynolds at Canterbury, may account for the fellow-feeling between that officer and Lord Car digan. Was there ever such a confirmation of the proverb, " Those that live in glass-houses should not throw stones?" " Brighton-barracks, Aug. 27, IS4O. "My Lord—A report has reached me that on Tues. day last, at a large party given by your Lordship, when asked why the Captains Reynolds were not present, your Lordship replied, " As long as I live they shall never enter my house." I cannot but consider this re port highly objectionable, as it is calculated to convey an impression prejudicial to my character, and I there fore trust your Lordship will be good enough to autho rise me to contradict it. I am, my Lord, Your Lordship's obedient servant, " RICHARD ANTHONY REYNOLDS. " Right Hon. the Earl of Cardigan, " 45, Brunswick-square, Brighton." LORD HILL'S MOTIVES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE. Sir—When the Commander-in-Chief dismissed Lord Brudenell from the Lsth Hussars, no one questioned the tree agency of Lord Hill, although many thought his sentence severe ; a sensitive jealousy for the honour of the army was the ascribed motive for his conduct on that occasion. Lord Hill is, as you have observed, a weak man—but let us not be too severe upon him ; let us in ail charity make allowance for the extraordinary influences which have intrigued against his better judg ment—influences which none but a great man could withstand. The blow struck at the Cardigan family, by the dis grace of the heir of that Noble house, vibrated sensibly through every branch of it, and it influenced none more powerfully than the Co•intess Howe, the sister of the disgraced Colonel, and the wife of Queen Adelaide's particular favourite. Anxious to remove the cause of uneasiness, the Queen offered her services to induce the King to take the matter into favourable consideration, but in this un dertaking she met with difficulties and repulses of no ordinary kind. William 11". refused to interfere with what he em phatically called Lord Hill's righteous judgment ; end the intrigue would have fallen to the ground if, as a last elrd, they had not induced the old Lord Cardigan to beg a private audience of the King, at which his grey hairs and infirmities more moved the good Monarch than all the petticoats put together ; he reluctantly declared that "if Lord Hill advised with him on the sub ject he should be willing to give a favourable consideratio❑ to their entreaties." This was enough ; the Queen's influence soon brought Lord Hill to the Palace, and in spite of his declared opinion that Lord Brudenell was constitutionally unfit for co►n mand,; the re-appointment took place. These memor able words were, however, used by his Lordship :—" I have consented to this step, because I am unable to en dure the distress of this noble family, and because I hope the author of their distress is now sensible that he can not be permitted to follow the dictates of his ungovern able temper. 1 trust this lesson has not been thrown away." flow far the confidence of Lord Hill has been justifled, the late events best speak ; but if ever man were bound by honour and conscience to avoid, the con duct which led to his former disgrace, that, man is Lord Brudenell. The conduct of Lord Hirt since these unhappy differ ences have existed, only he accounted for on the principle, that when men take a false step they generally flounder on until they are inemricably involved in diffi culties ; and thus the Noble Lord, not content with a!- lowing his protege to insult the army by treating his orother officers like menials, is positively unjust enough to listen to whisperings prejudicial to the character and interests of those whom he is as much bound to defend from slander as from insult. If the officers of the 11th be not principally of the class to which the crawling . . . belongs, they well know how to vindicate their honour from assaults which would be endured by no man bearing a Royal commission in any army in Europe. ARGUS. Knightsbridge, Sept. 23. GENERAL SLEIGH. As many , of our readers t;Tay wisti to know something the who would. seem to have aggravated of GeneralcensureSl leiigl, ei!vasdesi NY ':ed to convey to Capt. J. . Rey.iolds of the 1 J_', , ll Hussars, we have been iiii - meed to iay before t l . - eni the following official loiter from the G om mander:in-Chief to General Sir Henry Pane, Corn . marider-M-Chief in India. One sentence speaks volumes: " To remove the Major-General (Sleigh) from his corn mand in India, and thus to injure his present character and future prospects, however jhstifiabk such a measure would be, might be said to be not altogether free from that severity with which he has acted towards another upon this occasion, and for which his conduct is now under the just censure o/' the General Comanding in Chief:" It appears that General Sleigh stands con vietrd of having, by a severity without justification, wounded the rcelin!:s of an officer of equal standing with himself, by ordering him into arrest; and he is, therefore, peculiarly fitted for the task confided to him by the Horse Guards : " MAJOR GENERAL SLEIGH AND BRIGADIER WILL- SHIRE. " The followin g official letter from the Commander in-Chief at home, to General Sir Henry l'ane, Com mander-in-Chief in India, has appeared in the Calcutta Pipers submitted to the General Com- THE Su N. LONDON'. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24. is-to manding-in-Chief your letters of the 31st August and 12th September last, with the several papers which ac company them, relating to a difference between Major (lateral Sleigh and Brigadier Willshite, both serving in the army of Bombay, I am directed to comm unicate to you the observations which have occ urred to his Lordship, upon an attentive consideration of the case. Before conveying those observations, however, it may be useful to show the grounds on which they are based, and which relate exclusively to the controversy between Major-General Sleigh and Brigadier Wiltshire. " Major- General Sleigh, commanding a division of the Bombay army, places in arrest his second in com mand for issuing a brigade order, which Brigadier Will shire asserts he was personally instructed to do by the Commander-in-Chief. The Brigadier urgently requests that reference may be made to the Commander -m- Chief, who was actually on the spot. Ivlejor-General Sleigh does not think it necessary to satisfy himself upon this point, which he might have done in a few minutes, but orders Brigadier Willshire into arrest, and by a di visional order, places the command of his brigade in charge of a Lieutenant-Colonel of an European rep • ment, LieutenaneColonel Sheriff. " That the Brigadier was right in his affirmation, is proved by the conduct of the Commander-in-Chief, who immediately releases him from arrest, and reports to the C o mmander-in-Chief of the whole army at Calcutta this extraordinary proceeding of the Major-General. The Co:nmander-in Chief takes the same view of the matter, and reports the Major-General to General Lord Hill, as unfit to continue in his position as com. mender of a. division of the Bombay army. There does not appear to Lord Hill to be the smallest circum stance in any part of this case which can be favour ably considered as, extenuating the conduct of Major- General Sleigh, which in its consequences has proved extremely hurtful to the feelings of an officer of rank, second only to himself in the division, and of equal length of military experience and service ; and the ex ample of such casual exercise of military authority can not have any other than the most injurious effect on the interests of his Majesty's service. If it be said that the Major-General had some previous cause of dissatisfaction with the Brigadier (as may in part be gathered from some passages in the correspondence), so far from extenuating, it would be serious aggravation, as proving that the motives which influenced his con duct in this proceeding had other and personal bearings, wholly at variance with the good of the King's service, and that the duties of his commend were thus made secondary to, and his authority taken advantage of, and unduly exercised under the influence of feelings not in strict accordance with the performance of his military duty. It is not, therefore, to the advantage of the Major-General to have reference to anything contro versial that may have passed between him and the Bri gadier antecedently to the conduct which has given rise to the complaint. " It is also unfortunate for the Major-General that, in his endeavour to justify his conduct, he has had recourse to, and placed reliance on a precedent in the case of Colonel --, the whole proceedings of which, as shown in the documents transmitted, are of a totally opposite character, and whose resistance to the orders of the su perior officer was systematic, determined, and inju rious to the public service, and also, when the General officer commanding the division was at a distance of two hundred miles ; whereas, in the case under considera• tion, the Brigadier affirmed that he had acted in obe dience to the orders personally given to him by the Commander-in-Chief, and, to confirm his affirmation, only requested that reference might be made to that officer, he being on the spot, and within five minutes' walk. This abortive attempt at a justification thereof, on the part of the Major-General, is not calculated to place either his military judgment or discretion, in the question at issue, in a favourable point of view before the General Commanding-in-Chief. " In this view of the case, which appears to be much the same as that taken by yourself, and which is fully supported by the documents transmitted in your letter, it has become a matter for the serious conside ration of Lord Hill in what manner to dispose of it. Major-General Sleigh, in his letter of exculpation, reasonably claims credit for his good conduct during a period of service of forty-one years, and he has been fully supported by most honourable testimonials from Lord Combermere, Lord Dalhousie, and Lord William Bentinck ; but. the Major-General wholly lost sight of the value of such claim, in the exercise of his own military authority over an officer of equal service, and of unblemished reputation, when he so unadvisedly paced that officer, his second in command, under arrest. to remove the Major-General from his commend in India, and thus to injure his present character and futui e prospects, however justifiable such a measure would be, might be said to be not altogether free from that severity with which he has acted towards another, upon this occasion, and for which his conduct is now under the just censure of the Gerteral Commanding-in- Chief ; and, therefore, all circumstances considered, and giving full weight to the honourable testimonials which have been adduced in favour of Major-General Sleigh, Lord Hill is not disposed to carry this matter further than to convey to you his entire concurrence in the sen timents you have already expressed, and to desire the Major-General may be removed from his command in Bombay to such other station as in your judgment may be most expedient ; and that his Lordship's opinion upon the case may be fully communicated to him by sending him a copy of this letter.

SIR-It is v. , lth no small degree of surprise that I read in your paper of Monday an explanation to the effect that the Court-martial to be held on Captain Reynolds is not the one which the public very gene rally imagined had at length been extorted from Lord Hi 1, at the instance of the officer of that name, who has recently had a charge of insubordination privately exhibited against him at the Horse Guards, and who, without having been proven " Guilty," has been first gagged, and then degraded in the sight of his regiment at the instigation of his commanding officer. Is it, Sir, a positive fact that there is to be no inquiry into this case? Then, may I ask you, has this flagrant piece of official jugglery, (Indian of course), been perpetrated under the colour and protection of the law ?—and is the army such a set of branded slaves as to receive such a precedent without a protest ? Do I do any clique among them the injustice to believe that there is a pack who arc always ready to join the " jackall cry,"—to hunt down justice for the gratifica tion of authority ? or does the C o mmander-in-Chief " stand alone in his glory"—in his peculiar ideas of dis pensing equity to his brother officers ? The truth is, Sir, the matter has now become a public question. The official car, blandly open to the ex-parte statement of " My Lord, " has been doggedly deat to the entreaties to hear evidence of the Captain. We cannot consent to be accused of noting falsely this respect of persons, ':chile the account stands thus ; and we should find, 1 think, little difficulty in proving the plea for refusing an investigation, to be a very consider able aggravation of the offence. The good of the service indeed !—ls the sacred name of justice then to be degraded for " the good of the service ?" Heaven help our simplicity, we had not even imagined its utility. That. the commencement of this affair was broogllt about by an outrageous message, and that ',l i e bearer who delivered it, by using such an Gfiiensive form of ex pression, and by claiming his right use it, identified himself so ;or with the spiw;.t. of it as fully to justify the little irritation t":1",'IcIi appears to have been exhi bited, none };lit the pack before alluded to will, I think, be di'_7 o osed to deny. While Captain Reynolds' gentle manly firmness in declining to allow himself to be com mitted on the question of personal humiliation to the other Captain, after having frankly and fully declared he bad no enmity with him, and offered his apologies to his Commanding Officer, is very highly to be applauded, and should have pleaded most effectually in his defence. He may rest assured that it has done so with the public, and it is witit his oppressors that the public have now to deal. They can pass judgment too. They can " stig matise as pernicious and vindictive" conduct such as this, and that not simply befo re their regiments, but before their country ; and can inform them with a mightier reason that the sooner they have their " marching tickets" the better. To such a verdict as this, something having reference "to the good of the service" might be appended with a better grace, and might teach " official authority" that to judge justly is the only way to govern safely. I remain, Sir, your most obedient servant, Kendal, Sept. 23, 1840. T. P. S.

I am, Gentlemen, A MEMBER OF THE PROTESTANT CHURCH, Who has for upwards of twenty years had the fullest opportunity of scrutinizing both the private and public character of Alderman HARMER.. MR. ALDERMAN HARMER. (From the Morning Advertiser.) The declaration of the Livery (?) against Alderman Harmer turns out to be a failure. 'The Livery will not join in a course of conduct which they believe to be un called for and dishonest. They will not run down a City Magistrate, well known to them for very many years, because one of the proprietors of the Times hap pens to be personally opposed to him. All the artifices, all the influences, all that the •` unanimous" Tory Press could do, is unavailing. The number of signatures last night was just 468—the number of Liverymen being about 9,000. The Times, with a discretion which it rarely loses sight of, is anxious to repudiate this " de claration." It is always desirous of " pursuing the triumph" when there is one, but when there is not, it does not like to " partake the gale." Be it so. It must settle its share in the concoction of this unsuccessful scheme with those who have been its dupes, or its in struments. We hope this flagrant failure will be a warning to the Times not to imagine itself everything, and all the rest of the world nothing. It presumed to say that the press was unanimous against Alderman Harmer— the Standard slavishly followed in a similar state ment. Both knew that this was false. Both knew that the Advertiser and The Sun bad, in several articles, taken the opposite view. Neither are obscure papers. The Sun is at the head of the evening press, according to the stamp returns, and the Advertiser, the Times well knows, is read by hundreds where it is only read by tens—not that its stamp return is equal, but that it is taken by the publicans, and lent out by them to their customers to an extent of circulation that the Times could never equal. What is to be gained by this palpable and notorious lying • Nevertheless, the Times and the Standard may in their arguments be right, and the Advertiser and Tlic Sun wrong. Let us see. We have already dealt with the religious part' of the question, and endeavoured to show that the attempt to establish a Holy Inquisition as to the religious opinions of the proprietors of news papers, is neither wise nor just. Alderman Harmer, as a private individual, is a Christian, and a friend, in practice as well as profession, to the Church of England, The Times seeks, from occasional paragraphs in a news paper in whiah he has a share, to show that he is not Would the Times like its own religion to be tested by the practice of its different proprietors? Does not the Times know that the proprietors of one of the morning papers (the most strenuous against Catholic emancipa tion and Jewish emancipation) were ono a Catholic and another a Jew? Does not the Times know that the proprietor of another paper, enjoying the patronage of the clergy to a very great extent, was a Deist, and " something more"? Would it wish us to descend into ":partietil,isi .T ?, ~ a, ~ ; . - , ,.„ . , ;Or e t e ' z'liiy:;bliiii . lit that,. such are the facts. , We do newspaper is a mercantile property. Any man may bUy it. , Should any , aocident -happen. tom pro prietor of the Times, his or her share may-bc;sold by, pUblic 'auction. A Jew may buy it, or a Republican, or an iefidel. Possibly a deed may exist, giving the right of the control of that paper to certain persons who had materially contributed to its great success and value. The person who invests his property may have nothing to do with that control. He may not have the power which it is said the proprietors of the Times had in the case of Queen Caroline, of meeting together, and by a majority of one deciding that it was better for the mercantile interests of the Times that the Queen should be supported than that Journal should re main neutral. The value of a newspaper is much affected by its consistency. The Times itself may have found that out. The only difference between the ownership of the Times and the Dispatch may be that all the pro prietors of the former may meet to determine when it shall be Tory and when it shall be Radical, while the sole control of the latter may be in the hands of its original proprietor, whose management of it was first found to be dangerous to public morals, when it op posed the election of Mr. Walter for the borough of Southwark. We do not blush that newspaper property should be, like all other property, a matter of pounds, shillings, and pence, but we do blush at the rank hypocrisy that would seek to make it otherwise. The Times and the Standard are excessively loyal just now because the Dispatch has had one or two paragraphs reflecting on the marriage of the Queen and Prince Albert. Those paragraphs are perhaps fitted for the lower classes, who are content in seeing them uttered, but whose pent-up discontents might not have been so innocuous after t he strong exciting articles on the New Poor-law wiiie!: they may have seen in the Times and Standard. But is the Times the organ to preach up loyalty to Queen Victoria ? Is the Times the knight-errant to whom wo would entrust devotion to her or her husband ? Bah ! the hypocrisy is foul and rank. The Times of 1840 has laboured too long and too earnestly to place Queen Adelaide before Queen Victoria, and to praise some what more the King of Hanover than it used to praise the Duke of Cumberland. Who, in their excessive " loyalty," held up that very Queen Adelaide to public hatred, by exclaiming, in their grand leader when the Reform Bill was temporarily lost, " The Queen has done it all?" Let us get rid of humbug on all sides. Is Alderman Harmer a good Magistrate, or is ho not? When he sits at Guildhall or the Mansion-house, is his conduct such as other Aldermen would pursue, whether Whig . or Tory ? Has the acciden tal circumstance of his hav:. ing a property in the Dispatch influenced his decisions in any way whatever? What grounds are there for imagining that he would be a worse Lord Mayor than be has been a Sheriff, an Alderman, or a Magistrate ? Answer these questions, editors of the Times and the Standard. PRESENT STATE AND PROS PECTS OF THE JEWS. (From Praser's Magazine.) The present physical, moral, and social condition of the Jews must he a miracle. We can come to no other conclusion. Had they continued from the com mencement of the Christian era downward to the pre seat hour in some such national state as that in which we find the Chinese, walled off from the rest of the human family, and by their selfishness on a national scale, and their repulsion of alien elements, resisting every assault from without in the shape of hostile invasion, and from an overpowering national pride forbidding the introduction of new and foreign cus toms, we should not see so much mystery inter woven with their existence. But this is not their state ; far from it. They are neither an united and independent nation, nor a parisitic province. They arc peeled and scattered, and crumbled into fragments, but, like broken globules of quicksilver, instinct with a cohesive power , ever c laimin g affinity, and ever ready to amalgamate. Geo g ra p h y , arms, gen ius, po litics, and foreign help, do not explain their existence ; time, and climate, and customs, equally fail to ofrav it. None of these are, or can be, the springs their perpetuity. They have been spread over every pro vince of the habitable globe ; they have lived under the a r egime of eve r y d y nast y ; the y have shared the and wtt a rotf tion o 4 just law s, the p roscri p tion of cruel ones, n used n sed the rise and progress of both ; they hve o e very tongue , and have lived in every latitude? The snows of Lapland have chilled, and the suns of A .. frica have scorched them. They ha ve drunk of the li ber, t h e Thames, the Jordan, the Blisiusippi. In .every century, and in every degree of latitude and longttude, w e find a Jew. It is not so wit h any other race : Em. and burled the pires the most illustrious have fallen, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—A very material inaccuracy appears in the statement, as it was copied into your paper from the Globe, of a message delivered by me as President of the Mess Committee, to Capt. J. w. Reynolds. The Earl of Cardigan never authorised me to use the words " pot-house dinner," nor did I make use of them to Capt. Reynolds. " Tavern dinner " were the words used both by his Lordship and myself. Your imme diate correction of this will oblige, Your most obedient servant, I NIGO JONES, Captain I tth Hussars. Brighton Barracks, Sept. 20. THE MURDER AT NEWCASTLE. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) I know not whether it be important to tell you that when Matthew Fowles (who has peen committed to Stafford prison, on the Coroner's warrant, charged with the murder of Martha Keeling) was on his way to pri son. in custody of Mr. Cottrell, the head of the Newcas tle police, he relaxed his sullen manner and appeared anxious to talk. He told Cottrell that he was not guilty of the murder, but that a fiddler from Manches ter, vatic) bad been to Lichfield races, slept in the same bed with him at Mrs. Keeling's, and they agreed to rob her. which they did. The Salopian Journal of this morning gives this on Cottrelrs authority, and adds that the prisoner went on to say that they did not kill the woman, but lift the house, divided the money, and parted at Jackson's door, where prisoner bought a jacket, and the fiddler went on to Manchester. MUSICAL FESTIVAL. Bln M, WEDNESDAY MOE festi. val commenced yesterday, and the first day's perform. ances were in all respects worthy of a great celebration, The concourec of persons of rank, character, and re spectability was imposing, and in its number and vast ness harmonized well with the spacious splendour of the arena in which it was gathered, and the noble grandeur of the massive musical display. The first noticeable feature in the general programme was Wilman's beautiful clarinet obligato to Caradori Allan's " Gratius agimus ;" and the next, Lableche's finale to " Sanctum et terribile," in which he went down to the lower E flat in the bass, thus exhibiting, if not a pleasurable effect, at least the wonderful powers of his extraordinary voice. The motet from Palestrina—a fine composition of a very old school—went creditably ; and Braham sang " Luther's Hymn," making fair al lowance for slight constitutional failure, admirably. This veteran's voice remains a marvel even at the age of 71. Dorus Gras, when she did come, sang, " 0 tremble, mortals," superbly ; but before she arrived some displea sure had been excited' from the fact of her having un wittingly kept the audience waiting, for which Mr. Knyvett had made an apology, and when she made her appearance she was slightly hissed. This was hardly fair, particularly as the audience are not allowed to cheer, and therefore they might as well have placed the same veto upon their displeasure as upon their applause. Regardless of this displeasure, however, Dorus exerted her fine powers to the utmost, and with a brilliant and deserved success. In the second part, the Israel in. Eglipt was finely sustained. In the evening the miscellaneous concert was still given at the Town-lan. The following persons of distinction and fashion were present at the festival :—The Duke of Marlborough, Lady Louisa Spencer Churchill, Lord and Lady Leigh ' and the Hon. Miss Leigh, the Earl of Bridport, Lord Newport, Lady Harriet, and the Hon. Robert Clive, Sir J. Stevenson, • the Marchioness of Queensberry, Lord and Lady Lyttalton, and the Ladies Douglas, the Earl and Countess of Dartmouth, Lord and Lady Sarah Ingestre, Lord Lewisham, Colonel Fielder), Lord Ward, ad the Dowager . Lady Ward, Lord Sandys, &c., &c. WEDNESDAY EVENING. The second part.of tie programme contains the nove' and important feature—the beautiful Lobegesang, or Hymn of Praise, by Dr. Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. It begins with an allegro rnaestoso of powerful concep tion, leading into the beautiful allegretto in G minor, then finall3 ending with an adagio religioso, almost in itself enough to confer immortality upon the genius that gave it birth. Then begins the work. The subject of the allegro maestoso is splendidly carried into and borne along with the first chorus, which is succeeded by the solo (and chorus) by Miss Birch, after which there are twelve beautiful bars of recitative, which Braham gave with noble and imposing expression. The violins and violoncelli then ; pervade , .the ,orchestra -with , a Strain, of wild magnificence, in accompaniment, to noother. splendid chorus, which is followed : byf the duet between; Madame Caradori and Mrs. :Knyvett, °commencing with a horn solo played by Platt. In the full swell :of ..the, chorus to this duct the instruments suddenly cease. and the voices, now left to themselves, peal forth their glo rious harmony with marvellous grandeur and effect. Braham next sang the " Sorrows of Death." The chorus " The night is departing" brings in some fine, trumpet effects, and a rallentando at the end completes the magnificence of this part of the composition, and by the orchestra was admirably sustained. A grand chorale in G, accompanied in the first instance by the solemn organ alone, is soon joined by the legion of vio lins, and gradually the other instruments burst in for their share of the stupendous harmonies. In Braham's next song, in B flat, the tenor and bassoon give pro minent and beautiful support ; and then comes the crowning climax of this immortal work, the last and vvildest, and most gorgeous chorus at the end, per formed with perfect inspiration by the orchestra, and encored in rapture from every part of the hall. It has been a glorious day. The reception and plaudits to Mendlessohn were tremendous, and everybody feels that he is one of the finest musical spirits of any age or time. MAIL COACH ACCIDENT. (From the Salopion Journal of Wednesday.) Yesterday evening, about six o'clock, as the Holy head mail was approaching Shrewsbury, and had arrived within about three miles of the town, a dreadful accident occurred, the particulars of which we subjoin. A wa4on, conveying a very large cast-iron fly-wheel for the neighbourhood of Oswestry, was met by the mail, driven at the usual pace. It would seem that the wheel, as it lay upon the waggon, o ccupied too much of the road, and the consequence was that, although it andkept its relative place on the read, the wheel which it carried projected so much as to catch the iron work of The other consequences were that the outside pas the : guarde and' the outside bearo side away the iiindp a rt, on which sat the passengers, facing him. sengers were suddenly precipitated from the coach upon the road.

WRITING. (From the Charivari.) Readers of the Charivari, dispel your fears ; it is not my intention to enter into a dissertation on the art of the physiognomist ; my only purpose is to give a simple sketch of those observations on which caricaturists are wont to work. Among them you will find some that are well known, others that perchance may amuse, while some will appear futile, false, or incomplete. Take them, such as they are. THE STREET. Like their own bush on Mount Horeb, Israel has continued in the flames, but unconsumed. They are the aristocracy of Scripture, reit of their coronets — princes in degradation. A Babylonian, a Theban, a Spartan, an Athenian, a Roman, are names known in history only ; their shadows alone haunt the world and flicker on its tablets. A Jew w a lks every street, dwells in every capital, traverses every exchange, and relieves the monotony of the nations of the earth. The race has inherited an heir-loom of immortality, incapable of ex tinction or amalgamation. Like streamlets from a com mon head, and composed of waters of a peculiar nature, they have flowed along every stream, without blending with it, or receiving its colour or its flavour, and tra versed the surface of the globe, and the lapse of many centuries, peculiar, distinct, alone. The Jewish race at this day is perhaps the most striking seal of the truth of the sacred oracles. There is no possibility of account. ing for their perpetual isolation, their depressed but distinct being, on any grounds save those revealed in the records of truth. Their aggregate and individual character is as remarkable as their circumstances. Meanness the most abject, and pride the most over bearing—the degradation of helots, and yet a conscious and a manifested sense of the dignity of a royal priest hood—crouching, cozening, squeezing, grasping on the exchange, in the shop, in the world , wi t h nothing too low for them to do, or too dirty, if profitable, for them to pick up ; and, notwithstanding, in the synagogue, looking back along many thousand years to an ances try, beside which that of our Peers and Princes is but yesterday ; regarding, justly, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as their great progenitors, and pressing forward on the wings of faith, and hope, and promise to a long expected day when they, now Kings and Princes in dis guise, shall become so indeed by a manifestation the most glorious, and in a dispensation the most sublime. The people are a perpetual miracle—a living echo of heaven's holy tones, prolonged from generation to gene ration. • The man whose thoughts arc of the future directs his gaze aloft ; he that is busy with the past looks to the ground ; the present fills the mind of him whose looks ate straight before him, while he that thinks of nothing looks to the right and left ; but if a man cast frequent glances in the rear, be sure remorseless creditors are busy with his thoughts. He that walks slowly, reflects, meditates, or is wrapt in some calculation—be whose mind is filled with prbjects, strides rapidly along ; he who runs dreams of some rich legacy, of love, or of vanity. A simple dress, slightly neglected, but clean w:thal ; a gait neither too hasty nor too slow ; a demeanour without cffe:ninacy, yet not too stiff; mark a reasonable, good, and cordial man. The man who trots along, mincing his steps, blinking his e3es, thrusting forth his head, and wagging his shoulders, is a chatterbox, a punctilious caviller. He whose dress is neat, yet stiff, who is constantly drawing his hand over his hat, dusting his trowsers with his pocket-handkerchief, rubbing the front of his coat with his sleeve, is of a minute, susceptible, and waspish di' position. He that wears gold chains visible with the naked eye, cameos, rings, watch•seals, is either a wealthy rustic, a conjuror, a vendor of specifics, or an Italian Prince. THE SALUTATION. The magistrate, tne professor, or the president of a public office, who, dressed in a sable suit with one hand thrust in his breast, walks rather stiffly, jerks out his leg at each step, and whca he bows lifts his hat high above his head, is not, as is commonly supposed, a man puffed up with pride ; he is, in general, good and well meaning, though rather particular and precise. Your proud man is not merely the cub that greets you with a glance or a nod, but is also he that requites your bow with affectation. The only occasion on which it is allowable for a clever man to appear a fool is this : Two men meet, look, smile at each other, exchange endless bows, and at every salaam each advances a step, until, when near enough to shake hands, both at once inquire and respond, " How do you do ? " " Pretty well. thank 3ou, how arc you ?" then stand staring with open mouths. They thought they knew each other. The inferior and superior, both conceited, never ex change bows, but pass on apparently not seeing one another. Were you to meet a fool ten times in an hour, he would bow as many times. A man of tact, it he meet you at dusk, or in some • out-of-the-way place, in the company of one lady, will never bow, oven if you are face to face. When two men meet who despise each other, both bow with marked respect and civility, for both fear one another. The husband bows to the lover with a patronising air, the lover returns the bow with a smile, on the same occasier. : rivals compress their lips, the creditor bows in confusion, the debtor with levity ; friendship greets with the hand alone, love with a glance. When two men have previously seen each other at a funeral, on meeting again, were it even at a masked ball, they assume a grave and solemn air. The man who wears a wig bows but seldom ; the exercise of the hat always causes him considerable anxiety. THE REGISTRATIONS. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday Mr. Falconer, the Revising. Bairiecr for the borough of Marylcbone, proceeded with the lists of the parish of Paddington, in which there were f. 2 claims, and 185 objections. Messrs. Ivimey and Allen supported the Reform in terest, and Mr. Greenwood and Mr. Rook that of the Tories. The only cases of any importance were the following : Mr. William Hole, late Secretary to the West Mid dlesex Insurance Company, claimed as the successive occupant of the house No. 9, Maida Hill, Paddington, from 27, Baker-street, Marylebone. It appeared that he had given up his house in Baker-street in Michael mas last, but had previously taken the one in Padding ton, which, having to undergo certain alterations and repairs, was not put into rate until the April of the present year. On the day previous, when Mr. Hole attended the Court to prove the payment of his rates as regarded Marylebone, he stated that he had paid an empty rate for his house in Paddington ; but the col lector of the latter parish contradicted him, asserting that the empty rate was paid by him on account of a previous tenant. Mr. Ivimey, on the part of the Reformers, resisted the claim, and argued that inasmuch as the claimant left the parish of Marylebone at Michaelmas, and had not come into rating in Paddington until so long after, there must have been a lapse in the rating between the successive occupation of the two houses, and therefore the claim was rot a valid one. If it was a bona fide successive occupation the claimant was not on the rate, and he ought to have been so, properly to have com plied with the provisions of the Reform Act. Mr. Greenwood said he was not required to pay any rate at all, inasmuch as the vestry of Paddington had not thought fit to rate him, conceiving that his house, although occupied, was not in a proper condition to be come rateable. Mr..FALCONEIt said the difficulty was this. If the claimant had made out a case of sufficient occupation, then, under the provisions of the Reform Act, he was clearly liable for the rate due during the entire period of such occupation ; if, on the contrary, there was not a sufficient occupation, lie was not entitled to be on the TIIE HAT. The shape of the hat, and the mode in which it is worn, give considerable insight into the heart and mind. He that cocks his hat on one car is a poltroon as suming an air of bravery. He that wears it off his forehead is a Baby. He that wears it slouched over his eyes, and raised up behind, is a railer. He that rams it down perpendicularly over his brows is a blunt ill-natured fellow. He that walks with it :n his hand is a coxcomb. The man who has always a bran new shiny hat pos sesses the spirit of order ; he is a man of method. He that wears a peaked hat with a large brim and a broad riband—in a word, he that wears a hat such as - they are never worn—is a falsc•minded and conceited mannerist. GENERAL REMARKS. register. Mr. Greenwood said the claimant had his servant in the house before entering it himself, and two rooms were occupied by a portion of his furniture. Mr. FALCONER said it was evident that there was some imperfection in the mode adopted in the rating of the claimant, which clearly proved that the provisions of the Reform Act bad not been complied with, be therefore could not admit the claim.—Claim disallowed. Charles Fozard was objected to in respect of a house, No. 32, Cuthbert-street, by the Conservatives, upon the ground that he was not qualified within the meaning of the Act. Fozard, it appeared, tenanted a house which was farmed with others in composition, the landlord paying the rates. Mr. Greenwood said that this was no qualification, as the person was not upon the rate-book. In answer to questions put by Mr. Falconer, the ''Collector stated Fozard was on the ratebook as occupier, but not as the ratepayer. He had made application to 'be rated two years since, the' landlord, ' Mr. Green, also agreeing. No rates were due in respect of the premises. Mr. FALCONER observed that a tenant was clearly entitled, although the house might be is composition, to vote, and he should therefore disallow the objection. Objections were then taken to three other persons similarly situated, upon the ground that although the landlord had requested their names might be put upon the rate, there was no proof, as in the case of Fozard, that it was with the consent of the tenant. They were adjourned in order that proof upon this point might be adduced. The Court then proceeded with the correction of the lists, and adjourned at two o'clock until this day, when the revision of the Marylebonc list will be resumed. The following, with respect to the parish of Padding ton, is the result of the day's proceedings : Liberal objections ... 43 Allowed 33 Failed 10 Tory ditto Objections by both parties 3B Allowed 38 Failed 0 Adjourned Liberal 6 - -- Ditto Tory 7 130 42 Tho muser is he that continues to say " I am go ing, I am going," and yet till retains his interlocutor, by the button. The muser babbles, but thinks not ; the lounger thinks much, but speaks little. The muser is the lounger travestied, he is enough to disgust one of lounging. Enough for the present.—Good evening. FOREIGN POWERS AND AMICA. BLE ACCOUCHEMENS. EAST SURREY. The barristers appointed to revise the lists of voters for the Eistcrn Division • of the county of Surrey. Edward Bullock, Esq., and Sir Walter B. Riddell, held their Courts yesterday, at the Town Han, South wark, for the purpose of revising the lists of voters in the parishes ,of St. Mary Bermondsey, St. Mary. Rotherhithe, St. John, St. George the Martyr, St Olave, St. Saviour, and St. Thomas, with the Liberty of the Clink. Messrs. 11:91Ier and Corur appeared on behalf of the Liberals, and Air. Edward Meymott and Mr. Robert J. Crosse were i;:r the Conservatives. (Before Mr. I3ur,LocK.) ST. MARY BERMONDSEY. In the list of voters for this parish the name of Mr. Vousley was objected to, who claimed to be registered in consequence of his having redeemed the land tax of a public-house, in the parish known as " Simon the Tanner of Joppa." In support of the objection Mr. E. Meymott sub mitted that the q ualification sought to be established by Mr. Vousley was not a freehold, but merely a chattel, added to which it bad been already decided that the redemption of the land tax was only personal property, and therefore could not give the franchise. Mr. Corner contended that under the 42d of George 111., became redemption of land-tax by a stranger to the tate a fee-farm T rent, and entitled the owner to es the franchise. Mr. BULLOCK, after consulting with Sir W. B. Rid dell, decided the claim to be good, and returned the name of Mr. Vousley in the list. In this lisfno objections were taken by th verseße ers, adicalall s, t wen ty-two objections wer e taken by the O of which were sustained, and out of ninlared e o bjections taken by the Con servatives, eight were dec va ST. G EORGE THE M ARTYR. In this parish the Overseers bad taken four ob ons jec taken tions, all of which wer e sustained. Six of the obj.:ctl by theConser%,atives were declared valid, and one was re jected. Th e Lib foreeralSis br W. B. RlDDE j e ad taken no ob L.)ctions. (Be L The lists of the parishes of St. John, Horsleydown, St. Olave, and St. Saviour's, came on for revision before Sir W. B. RIDDELL, but in none of them did any ease occur possessing any point either of interest or novelty. Th e lists for the p arishes of St. Mary, Lambeth, oi Clapham and Streatham, were appointed for revision to morrow (this day, in which there arc no less than 150 objections. The man who is ever laughing is a fool, but he that never laughs is a blockhead. The busy man looks, but sees not ; the idler sees without looking ; the lounger both sees and looks. A quick walker either does not lounge, or knows not how. The same may be said of him that yawns in the street, or 'that passes a pretty woman and looks not, or passes before a showy shop-front or a mountebank's booth without stopping. A fool takes a walk and never t l o unges. A stupid than lounges sometimes, a man of , talent o f ten. The true lounger continues in one direction until a car riage pass Wore him, or he encounter some interrup tkn ; a crowded shop-window at the corner of a street, a shove, a blow from the elbow of a passer-by, are capable of changing his course. From accident to accident, from encounter to encounter, lie comes, be goes, he returns, and finds himself either very far from, or very near, his homa, as chance may have willed. Ono may lounge away from home, in a public place, alone or in company with one other lounger. He that thinks to lounge in his own house is mistaken—he muses. Some people are astounded at the " energetic for bearance which the citizen Chateau manifests with re Bard to the Quadruple Treaty. It is all by reason o the Chateau believing that it has an abundance of com pensation. Let us explain ourselves. Undoubtedly, in all that relates to European politics foreign Courts appear to consider the Court of the Tuileries, as, having no manner of existence, as an ab sts action and a mere chimera. They protocolise with out troubling themselves more about it than about San cho's Court at Barataria. They grow big,, and bring forth the most important treaties without deigning to in vite its concurrence. We freely admit that this disdain, this passing us by as an "unconsidered trifle," is in some small degree humiliating, but still there is a compensation, a magnificent compensation. It consists in this—that if foreign Courts do not condescend to notify to the Tuileries their Euro pean treaties, en revanche, they continue without inter mission to inform us with the utmost regularity of the birth of the several dolls and dollies which Pro vidence sends them. It is true that the citizen Court is not kept au courant of the result of questions big with events ; but a Princess, a Duchess, a Margravin ninny puts nothing forth to see the light without our Chateau being duly informed thereupon. The Chateau knew nothing whatever until after the event, of what was about to be done in the Eastern question ; but it doingad n and well. G o i b f i f n o -- h k a n u o g w e s n p the fe c m t 0 6; h w e we er i l a n t h d a c t b aat re a d b c o n t - h B reign politics remain a closed book for the Chateau, foreign breasts of milk are at least no secret. Never have these glorious notifications of new births been more frequent than for some time past. It would seem that the Princesses of Europe have determined on " multiplying" with the greatest possible fecundity, in order to compenuce our 9th of August fcr its quad ruple humiliations in points of policy, and maintain the rank which is its due in the accouchemcns of Europe. Not a day passes without the Moniteur registering with a triumphant air, some august little billet of birth. The day before yesterday it was the Prince of Orange ; to-day it is the Duke of Baden, who notifies the advent of a little Dukeaninny, of whom h e h as grac i ous ly deigned:to be the father, in favour of the Padois people. How , unimportant is the exc l us i on o f F rance f ro m the quadruple treaty in c o mp ar i son w ith h er p ar ti c ipation in these rejoicing on " the straw ?" The East grows pale in presence of the pap-spoon! What can, in truth, be more glorious for a Court or a Kingdom than these nascent notifications? It is this teat testifies in the most brilliant manner the unani mous respect which a great order of things impresses upon its epoch.
