LITERATURE. I.,ngman and Co., of London, hare just published a new work from the pen of Mr. Wilfen, entitled Historical Memoirs of the House of Russell from the time of the Norman conquest, from which we take the following in teresting extracts. The first is a letter from Johnny Russ?,ll of his day to Cardinal Wolsey on his disgrace in 1523. "Pleaseth it your grace, that I have received your letter, whereby I perceive that your grace is good lord unto me, which is great comfort and rejoicing to me. 1 can recompense your grace with nothing but my poor heart and service, which is at your commandment, and shall be while I live. The king is merry, thanked be God; and I am sure that his grace would that your *race were so likewise. Your grace must comfort yourself, and be Of ,(rood cheer, assuring your grace that the king is well ap tea and satisfied in his mind, as I well perceive when he ipeAks of you. And doubt you not that you shall have him as good to your grace as ever he was in his life; for his grace is a prince of so many good qualities, and of so good remembrance, that he will remember the great service and pains that your grace has taken for him,' and also the great familiarity that has been by time gone. Wherefore your grace may be of good comfort, and take the matter well; for you shall have none other cause. Sometimes the father and you be in displeasure, and brother, by evil reports, as may fortune has been now be tween your grace and the king. Methinketh it should he well done that your grace would find the means to come snore unto the king, that your grace mote speak with him, which should be greatly io your both contestations. I beseech your grace to pardon me, that I did not write an answer of the letter that your grace sent me; the cause was, that I was advertised in haste, that my son Broughton's household that is at Tuilding ton was evil ordered, as of a surety I find it, as 1 shall shed your grace at my next coming; and thus Jesu preserve your grace. At Ampthill, the 26th day of July, 1329. Your hum ble servant, J. RussEt.t.." The second extract is an anecdote of Francis the First : " ANECDOTE or FnANeis I.—Count Furstemberg, the com mander of a strong band of mercenary Germans in the king's service, was suspected of subornation to destroy his majesty ; and we are told " Francis refused to credit the tale when Tre mouille first . apprised him or Funtember g 's design. In a short time there came a confirmation of the intelligence, and Tre mouille asked permission to chastise the count from court. But this Francis refused, and used a measure of his own to ascertain the fact. One day, when he was going to hunt, he took the best sword he could select from his armoury, and commanded the count to keep near him during the sport. After having for some time chased the stag, the king turned aside, and when he saw himself alone with Furstemberg, in the deepest part of the forest, he said, drawing his sword, ' What think you ? is this sword a good one ?' The count, after handling it, said that he had never seen a better. You are right,' said the king ; and it appears to me, that if any gentleman should have engaged to slay me, and knew the strength of my arm, and the bravery of my heart to accompany it with this good sword, he would think twice before he assailed me : yet I should always reckon him great villain, if, being alone together, hand to hand, he would not dare to execute his enterprise .— To which the count replied, with some astonishment, Sire, the yillanv of the enterprise would be indeed great, but the folly of him who should desire to execute it would be scarcely less. The king received back the weapon with a smile, replaced it in the scabbard, and, hearing the chase near him, set spurs to his horse, and rejoined the company. The next morning, the count went to Robertet, the treasurer, and told him, that as his pay was insufficient, he should be und er t h e necessity o f quitting_ the royal service unless it were doubled. Francis sent hack word, that if he were discontented with the terms upon which he entered his service, and which satisfied others of equally good birth, he was not disposed to offer any objection to his wishes. The count then said, he would say adien, and go. Ile could not wait a decent time, but went and took leave of the queen mother and Francis, as the latter was sitting down to table. Every body was astonishid at his sudd e n departure, till the king explained it by the relating of his previous incident. The count was afterwards taken by the French, in sounding the Marne for the emperor to pass, in the invasion of 1544, and sent to the Bastile as a spy, from which he was only liberated by a ransom of thirty thousand crowns." We resume our extracts from the Edinburgh cabinet Library, (Vol. xii.) The Nile has with justice been represented as one of the wonders of the globe. Its course has been compared to the path of a good man amidst a wicked generation. It passes through a desert, dry, barren, and hideous; on the portions of which contiguous to its banks it deposits the richest soil, which it continually waters and nourishes. This . gift has been the source of subsistence to several powerful nations, who have es tablished and overthrown mighty kingdoms, and have origi nated the arts, the learning, and the refinement, of the greater part of the ancient world. Those nations,—instructors and pupils,—have perished; but the remains of their stupendous labours, the pyramids and the temples of Egypt, Nub ia, Don gola, and Meroe, are more than sufficient to excite respect fur the great peuple who founded them. Under this impression a voyage up thenie may be considered as presenting an epitome of the lite of man. We meet at almost every state with the monume nts of his tyranny, hi s superstition, or his l u xury, but with few memorials of his talents directed to the improvement and protection of his feilow-creatures. We also everywhere perceive the traces of Almighty justice on his crimes. On the banks of this ancient river we behold cities, once famous for power and wealth, reduced to a heap of sand, like the wilder ness ' • and temples, on ce renowne d , an d co l ossa l idols, at one time feared, now prostrate and confounded with the dust of the worshippers. The flocks lie down in the midst thereof; the cormorant and bittern lodge in the towers and palaces; their voice sings in the windows, and desolation is in the thresholds. The Nile, meantime, which has seen so many generations rise and disappear, still mores onward to distribute its fertilizing fluid to the countri .s on its borders; like the good Providence, which seems unwearied in trying to overcome the ingratitude o f man by the many favours it bestows upon him. MARRIAGES IN ABYSSINIA.—Pearce assures us that the _Abyssinians vary much in their colour; some being very black, with hair nearly straight,. others copper coloured, some much fairer, with the hair almost woolly, and a fourth description having the same complexion with long hair. This mixture ar i s es from the unsettled nature of family relations, which par take of the constant changes in local government and property. A woman may be the mother of six or seven children, whose fathers have migrated from as many different provinces • for, as s oon as one chief expels another, the followers of thel van quished leader accompany him into some new district, leaving wives-and children to the protection of their more fortunate successors. Nothing. in truth, appears to be more insecure than the marriage tie in Alisssinia. Perhaps it might be as serted, that there arc no other obligations than such as are con tracted by mutual consent, and which subsist only as long as both parties are inclined to respect them. After separation, these engagements may be renewed, again violated, and a third time repeated. Bruce met at Koscam, in the presence of the queen-mother, a lads of great rank with seven men who had all been her husbands, and no one of whom could claim her for wife at that particular juncture. When married individuals agree to_part, they divide the children according to certain rules. The eldest son falls to the mother, and the eldest daughter to the father. If there is but one girl, and all the rest boys, she is assigned to the male parent ; and if there is but one son, and all the others girls, he is the right of the mother. Ifthe numbers are unequal after the first selection, the re mainder are distributed by lot. From the king . to the be ggar there is no distinction between legitimate and illegitimate off spring; there being in fact no principle on which the prefer ence could be made to rest, except in the case of the royal family, where the mother of the heir is previously selected and usually crowned. In his ordinary marriages, the king uses no other ceremony than the following. lie scuds an officer where the lady lives , who announces to - her that it is the king's plea sure that she should remove instantly to the palace. She then dresses herself in her best manner, and immediately obeys. Thenceforward he assigns her an apartment in the royal dwelling, and gives her a house elsewhere, in any place she may choose. There is an approach to a regular marriage when he makes one of his wives iteghe ; for, on that occasion, he orders a judge to pronounce in his presence that "the king has chosen his handmaid for his queen." The crown is then ap plied to her brows, but she is not annointed. The beautiful story of A.hasuerus and Esther will occur to the recollection of every reader, for it was when she " had found grace in his sight more than the other virgins that lie placed a golden crown upon her head." This coronation in Abyssinia conveys a great political privillege, constituting her majesty regent during the nonage of her son; a point of correspondence which history does not enable us to trace in any of the mighty king doms that covered the. banks of the Euphrates. EBE'N ERSKINE; OR. THE TRAVELLER. BY_JOIIN GALT, ESQ. "Our Sunday party, like the former, consisted of four guests, a painter, a player, a parliament man, and a poet. I have no . idea what the major proposed to himself by this assemblage, but to me the very hopes of it were delightful. Of artists I had conceived, from the dictionary of painters and the rhetoric of critics, very lofty and mystical ideas of their genius; I almost fancied that it sat on their shoulders in the shape of a cherub of light as they stood before their easels. Players were interwoven with my finest associations, partly from the same cause, and partly fi-oin the inexperience of youth rendering it difficult to separate them from the characters they performed. It is tra, that I had then no experience of the splendour and illusion of the metropolitan theatres, in which the superiority of talent greatly contributes to foster the illusion of the stage ; bat I had received my impressions from as influential a cause. In Auchtereloots we had an annual visit from a party of strollers, and sometimes among them were actors of ability. Of their exhibitions, owing to some toleration derived from hereditary circumstances, I was, from my earliest years, an almost nightly spectator, and it was in this plastic stage of life that I received those impression. 3 which united ' , the assumed with the natural character — impressions which have been weakened, no doubt, by time, but, which neither time nor experience have vet entirely erased; for I still feel an indescribable respect when I meet with those in society whom I have seen in noble parts upon the stage,—always, however, with a sentiment of regret, as if I saw in them in private life the faded and impoverished remnants of persons wh ) had fallen from prosperity.

KEAN'S FUNERAL.—The mortal remains of this great actor were consigned to their resting•-place, in Richmond church-yard, on Saturday last. At halfpast ten o'clock in the morning Mr. Kean's house was opened to those who were anxious to signify their respect towards its departed master. The coffin was laid out in a room upon the ground floor, and until two o'clock the inhabitants of Richmond—the best and the most respectable—continued to pass through, accompanied by the many individuals who had arrived from London. The doors were then with considerable difficulty closed, for the purpose of preparing for the ceremony. During the period in tervening between this hour and three o'clock, (the time ap pointed for the procession,) a number of carriages arrived, containing friends and admirers of the deceased. The strong est disposition was displayed upon the part of the townspeople to evince respect for the memory of the man of genius who had honoured -Richmond with his residence. More than twenty of the most respectable tradesmen volunteered to be sworn in as special constables, and the utmost order was preserved. The shops in the streets through which the procession passed were all closed. Within a few minutes of three o'clock the proces sion moved forward to the church. The pall-bearers were Mr. Macready, Mr. Brahani, Mr. W. Farrell, Mr. Cooper, Mr. Harley, and Mr. Dunn. Mr. Charles Kean, as chief mourner, was supported by Mr. Sheridan Knowles and Mr. Lee; fol lowed by a long train of other mourners, including the medical attendants of the deceased, members of the histrionic profes sion from every theatre in the metropolis, and many inhabi tants of Richmond. The church was crowded, and the body haying been placed on tressels in the chancel, the Rev. Mie Campbell proceeded to read, in a most impressive and empha tic manner, the lesson of the day. A requiem, ably conducted by Mr. Hawes, was then sung. The requiem consisted of two psalms; to Purcell's chant in G minor. After the second lesson, Handel's anthem, " When the ear heard him," and the chorus, " He delivered the poor that cried," were beautifully executed. The body was then borne in melancholy procession to its last resting-place. The pathetic funeral service having been con cluded, .the mourners returned to the still crowded church where, immediately before the benediction, Ilandel's heart, moving composition, " His body is buried in peace," &c., was beautifully sung. On Tuesday, the 21st instant, after a short but very severe illness, died 'Eugene Meurice, the proprietor of the Hotel Meurice, rue Rivoli. The strict integrity which so invariably marked his conduct, the utbauity of his manners, his constant readiness to make himself generally useful to strangers, and the many acts of liberality which he exercised towards those who required his assistance, will make his death in every point of view a public loss. The Marquess of Cholmondeley has purchased the noble m ansion in Park-lane, known as the residence of the late Earl Dudley. It will be shortly thrown open to the fashionable world by a series of splendid evening parties. I M PORTANT TO SHIPBUILDERS.—Battie timber and plank are now imported into the Isle of Man upon payment of a duty of ss. per load upon the former and Bs. per load upon the latter, whereas, in every other port of the United Kingdom, the duty per load upon Baltic timber is £2 15s. and that upon Baltic plank is £l. As all vessels built in the Isle of Man are, under the existing laws, entitled to British registiy, it is not to be wondered that this inequality of duty has attracted the atten tion of speculators. Such is the case. A number of Liverpool merchants have formed themselves into a company for the pur pose of building ships at the Isle of Alan for the English market. —Newcastle Journal. 'l'nx CROPS.—In Wiltshire and Berkshire nothing can be finer than the appearance of the country. The wheat never was looking better, and there is every prospect of an immense crop of fruit; however, a Effie rain in the course of a few days would be of considerable service to the barley. - In Gloucestershire there is every appearance of there being a very great hit of both apples and pears. If this should be the case, it will be of immense advantage to the farmers, ass they will sell cider and perry, instead of having to buy beer, and as the chance of an apple crop is not much considered in the let ting of farms in that county, a great hit is nearly all profit to the tenant. DEATH BY LIGHTNING ON THE DUNDEE AND NEWCASTLE RAILWAY.--During the thunder storm of Friday, a mason named Hugh Stewart, working on the railway near the in clined &me at Balbeuchlie, was killed by lightning. Two tra yellers passing near him were also struck to the ground, but, soon recovering themselves, pursued their journey. The body of the man who perished was dreadfully lacerated. The lightning had passed between the forehead and the sole of the right foot, at both which places there was a large opening in the flesh. llis cheek and chin were also lacerated. A hole in the ground, corresponding with the position of the right fie t, was also pierced. Some of the workmen say that during the storm they saw the lightning running along the rails like squibs ! His bonnet (a common Highland- one) was torn in shreds, The clothes on his breast were all riven, with the exception of a flannel shirt, next his skin. His right stocking was torn from the leg, and his shoe on time same side of the body was perforated and otherwise much shattered; and all the nails in his shoe were out, although before the accident it was thickly studded with them. The stone to which the rail was attached was rent in twain. The buttons of his coat were all off, and scattered round.—Caledonian Mercury. THE REDUCTION ON THE, SOAP DUTY.—We are happy to find that Government, on the strong representation of the manu facturers of the borough of Leeds, and other parts of the West Riding, made through their members in parliament, have con sented to continue the drawback on soap used in the manufac ture of woollen cloth, according to the reduced duty on that article. An equivalent for this duty it was one time thought might ha • ve been found in the repeal of the duty ou foreign oils used in the manufacture, but this it was found would have been insufficient, and its operation would prove unequal. The fol lowing letter, received from Mr. Strickland by a manufacturer of this neighbourhood, explains what are the present views of Ministers : TALLEYRAND'S ADVICE TO BUONAPARTE.

But,' says he, powerful as France is upon the continent, by its con quests, by its influence, by the Vigour of its government, by the vi ctories of its ar m i es; i n re gard to England, it is no t i n a:bet ter position of strength than in 1755, because, with the know ledge of our means, and with the great abilities of our Ruler, we are unable directly to injure England, our navy being more reduced, and our naval officers more ignorant than in 1755, but isfoltiEcTLY, and in time of peace, to lay the INFALLIBLE foun dation for the future subjection of England, France at no for met certain and undoubted underhand present may lessen, if not destroy them, dAhad war so at many but every year's continuan c e of peace will preserve, augment, and fix them. mmethods.o . " Ought we not to wait at least ten years before we renew the war with England; till we are in a condition effectually to sup port our claims, our views, and our plans; the English will do our business if we permit them. Their religion is pleasure, and their pleasure debauchery. They have plun g e th emse l ves into an excess of luxury and inte m perance. 'h,y .. --arebegun to neglect their navy and to disband their artificers, who go to France, Spain, a nd Holland for maintenance. " Whilst then individuals squander their riches , the State grows parsimonious, and begins to save in those articles in which it cannot be too priyitse. _They are even near reducing their tri vial army, and their patriots speak of entrusting, what they call their liberty and property , to the valour of a militia. What a field is this for our policy ? Is it our business to awaken or arouse them from their lethargy? If we do, the consequence is obvious; we teach them to believe a real truth. They cannot strengthen themselves too mucle by sea cr land. 'there an army ceases to be the object of public complaint, of p u bli c dis like, and the people begin to think that, as they must have one, it is better to have an army of English than. of Frenchmen. Then their young nobility will continue to apply themselves to the military profession, and think themselves honoured by that profession, in which alone consists the defence and security of their country.- This may be fatal to us, for the sooner we go to war, the sobner their effeminacy will wear off and their an cient spirit and courage revive. They will not then become wealthy, but they will get more wisdom, which is better. The military virtues and the manly exercises may become fashion able, and the nation, which now seems immersed in debauchery and corruption, may yet think seriously, and be once more, what it has often been, the terror of gurope. This is not an unnatural supposition, they easily glide from one extreme to another ; it -is their natural temper, and their whole history is • one continued proof of it.'—'The ashes of La Venclif.e still smoke, it requires only a spark to kindle a civil war in the bo loin of our country. The returned emigrants are as yet quiet, hut they have not forgot their former principles, and th e wrongs they have - suffered from the revolution. Let not a new war give the Bourbons an opportunity to remind them of it. The most dangerous of the Bourbons reside in England; let not the renewal of war permit England to use them, their name and influence, and invade France.'—' We command at present all the Continental Powers; but we know they wear with disgust and complaint the fetters we have imposed. Let not a war w i t h E a aland give them occasionto shake th em o ff, an d to comman d us In their turn.' — Ihe general weakn ess an d su pineness that fa i r ever attend mmoderate . wealth and luxury, hide from the E n g l i sh the knowledge of their own strength, real power, and true in terest • suffer them not to relapse into vir toe and unclerstandin,v. Plunge them not too deep into diffi culties. and they will never emerge from folly into true wisdom.' We have a lready insulated them from Continental polities— Leave them in peace , and the insulation of their trade will soon follow. We have alre ad y made them feared, envied, and hated everywhere on the Continent —Leave them in peace, and they will 'soon be despised, neglect, ed and trnpitied. Leave them in return to their amusements peace, and they 16 7 1 soon rem of elections, e _ ace, and they must be ra ces , p Tat y, and f act i on —Leave them in peace, directed by popular clamour, which we can always excite and en courage—Leave them in peace, and th eir navy will once more be laid up to rut, and their seamen and artifi •rers once more he turned_ over to us, to Spain, and to Holland —Leave, them in peace, and the greatest part of their army will, soon be reduced, and the small remains will soon become a mere militia in pay—Leave Them in peace, and we shall not fear the defection of Russia or Prussia, or any of our present allies, which otherwise would much hurt, and, perhaps. ruin our present system. Leave them in peace, and most of their nobility and gentry will continue to squander away amongst us their great riches, and augment our resources to enslave their country. Leave them in peace, and before the year 25, France , * sha...: n comm and the departments of the Thames and of the Tweed, as it already does the depart ments of the Rhine and of the Po:—' Pursue, Citizen Consul, this plan steadily for ten or fifteen years, constantly directing the riches of the country to the raising a navy, equal, or supe rior, to England; and then, and not till then, shall we be able to strike the blow we have for above 150 years been meditating, the conquest of the British Islands. (Si g ned) C. M. TALLEYRAND.' "This memorial the author (of the Revolutionary Plutarch) received from a friend in Paris, within three weeks of its pre sentation to Buonaparte ; and although the Moniteur has men tioned it after its insertion in some of the English papers, its authenticity was never contradicted; on the contrary, one of 'l'alleyrand's Chef des Bureaux in the Cabinet of Secret State Papers .was dismissed, on the totally unfounded suspicion of having transmitted it to somebody in this country." • A French fleet, with a French Admiral in command, in the Downs, 1832. England not daring to blockade the Dutch lions with out the assistance of the French navy. What a true prophet Talley sand has been—what an idol for Britain to worship, and Lord Palmer ton to obey. " London, May 21. " Sir,—Before receiving your letter I had directed my atten tion to the proposed ministerial plan of withdrawing the -draw back upon the du t y on soa p used in manufactures. " This would, undoubtedly, have ben a great hardship to many persons, because, instead of getting a drawback of the duty of 21-d., they would hereafter have to pay half the duty of 3d. " Many applications have already been made to the Govern ment upon the subject; and I have obtained the following in formation, that it is now the intention to allow a drawback or remission of the whole duty on soap employed in manufactures for two years, the Government stating an intention, before the expiration of that period, to make such a reduction of duty on other articles—l believe on the raw material of some kind—as will amount to an equivalent. " I fear that this information will not be perfectly satisfactory, to you, but I can assure von that I shall continue to pay atten tion to the subject, and endeavour to forward your views and interests.—l remain your faithful servant,. —Leeds Mercury.
