LON DON, T UESDAY MORNING 'ITANDARD LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. (Constitute) by Act of Parliament, 1825.) GOVERNOR. His Grace the Duke of BUCCLEI"CH and QUEENSBERRY. DEPUTY-GOVERNOR. The. Right Hon. the Earl of ELGIN and KINcARDINE. The TWENTY-FIRST ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the STANDARD LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY was held within the Company's Office, 3, aeorge-street, Edinburgh, on Monday, the 15th day of February, 1847, in the terms of the Act of Parliament by which the Company is constituted. JAMES MONCRIEFF MELVILLE, Esq., in the Chair. A report on the progress of the Company's business during the past year was submitted by the Directors, In which the following re sults were communicated:— The new Policies issued from the 15th of November, 1845, to the Isth of November, 1846, the Company's business year, amount to 592. the number of proposals made to the Company during the same period being 769. The amount of new Assurances, covered by the 592 new Policies is 368,6791. 7s. 10d. (an average of 625/. for each Policy) ; the amount of Assurances applied for during the year being 476,1351. 17s. 9d. The revenue of the Company is upwards of 120,0001. pet annum. The claims have been moderate, both in number and amount, and considerably less than shown by the mortality tables on which the Company's calculations are founded. The results in other branches of the business have been favourable. The business of the Commercial Life Assurance Company of Scot land has been transferred to the Standard Company during the past year, being 398 Policies, covering about 200,000/. of assurance, and being in addition to the new business of the year above reported. The business of the York and London Assurance Company, which was transferred to the Standard Company in 1844, continues to exhi bit satisfactory results in its progressive development. The report then alluded to the great extension of the Company's business In Scotland generally, and to the rapid progress of the Com pany in England, also in Ireland. The increasing success of the Branch Office opened by the Com pany in Glasgow was subject of congratulation, and the establishment of Local Boards in Aberdeen and Inverness were reported. The following new Directors were elected : David Smith, Esq., W.S., Edinburgh. •E nt o.. =".„ , s.suguso 11E6 James Condie. Esq., Perth. James Lindsay, Esq., Lawrence Pountney-lane, London. By order of the Directors. WILLIAM THOS. THOMSON, Manager. The Standard Life Assurance Company is so constituted as to afford the beneitts of Life Assurance to all who may seek its protection in that form which is best suited to attain the particular object in view; wkile to those who look to the advantage to be derived by way of bonus to their Policies from the favourable results of the business, there is every inducement to connect themselves with the Company. The annual contributions demanded for Life Policies have been fixed on the most approved Information as to the valise of life, and the Company have published an extensive set of Life Tables (18 in number), setting forth its terms for all ordinary transactions, so that its principles are fully before the public. Bonus additions to Policies have been declared on three occa sions—in 1835, in 1840, and in 1845. The following are examples of the additions made : Policy of 1825 for £l,OOO increased to £1,600 0 0 Do. 1830 do. do. 1,412 10 Do. 1835 do. do. 1,225 0 0 Do. 1840 * do. do. 1,087 10 0 An :investigation of the Company's affairs, and a division of pro fits, are made every five years, the next being in 1850. The system of bonus being ,an advantageous one for Policy-holders, the Directors of the Standard Company, in fixing the mode of division which they have adopted, gave the subject much attention, and after the most particular inquiry into the practice of other Companies who had divided profi is, they adopted the survivorship principle followed by the Equitable Society of London. under which system a policy has been known to realise at death six or seven tim,s its original amount. The Standard Company do not hold out the pro spect of similar results as regards the amount of additions to their policies, for there are peculiarities in the arrangements of the Lon don F:quitable conferring Class Benefits, and there were advantages which arose in its earlier years, which are not in the present day open to any office But it is the principle of division which is re ferred to as common to lath Companies, and which has bee* highly conducive to the production of the great results alluded to. To the terms and conditions of Assurance the Directors of the Standard Company have directed their particular attention, satisfied that the more liberal these arc made, the wider will the practice of Life Assurance be extended, PETER E WART, Resident Secretary, 82, King William-street.

CHRONICLE.—A person of the name of Cochrane, who has lately, as some of our readers may have chanced to ob serve, been laying himself out for notoriety, as a political busy-body, by way of introduction to the suffrages of a me tropolitan constituency, has at length fairly succeeded in establishing a sort of a claim to public notice. So long as the individual in question was known only as one of the illustrious obscure, who please themselves with fancying that a certain obtrusive loquacity is a valid title to the confidence of English electors, there was of course nothing to do but let the absurdity run its course, and go quietly out in the natural way. Even the stimulant and attractive heading, " City of Westminster Election," was insufficient to give interest or dignity to what it was impossible to look at in any other light than as an awful heavy joke. As 'Westminster happened, moreover, to be well enough suited with a candidate already, no practical inconvenience could arise from treating nonsense as nonsense, and letting Mr. Cochrane, or Mr. Anybcdy, recreate himself in his own fashion. Nobody cared to inquire who or what Mr. Coch rane might be—first, because it did not in the smallest de gree signify, as regarded any apparent practical purpose, who or what Mr. Cochrane was, and next, because the seem ing anxiety of this gentleman to advertise himself in every pos sible way operated as a damper on one's speculative curiosity. The secret was sofe, since nobody dreamed that there could be any secret worth knowing about a person at once so un important and so garrulous. The prying industry of an evening Contemporary—or rather of our Contemporary's correspondents—has, however, had the effect of lending a momentary interest to an otherwise ridiculous and insipid affair. Certain letters have appeared is the columns of Vie Sun, reviving disagreeable reminiscences of a va gabond imposter who once rejoiced in the name of Don or Senor Juan de Vega, and to whom, as our contem porary's correspondents suggest, in terms pointed rather than conceivable degree of consanguinitytrilbanq, that of down right-personal identity. Mr. Cochrane is accordingly re quested to enlighten the Westminster public on this point of his history—the only point on which the Westminster public have ever betrayed the faintest curiosity. Mr. Cochrane's answer to what, under the circumstances, must be allowed to be a very natural and legitimate question, consists, first, in a threat of an action against The Sun for defamation , of character, and next, in a public confession of the youthful " indiscretions," or frolics" heretofore fathered on Don or Senor Juan -de Vega. From this moment, of course, our illustrious obscure may safely assure himself of that public notice which he has so long been vainly craving, thongh we cannot exactly promise him that noto riety will come in the shape desiderated. There is now a dash of romance about the thing, which may at least serve I idle people for a nine days' wonder. Plain, vulgar Mr. Cochrane could not so much as get himself laughed at ; but Juan de Vega is a fair circulating-library name, and smacks of mystery. Everybody will be wanting to know about Juan de Vega, especially as the fellow is said to have been a decided scamp, and to have played the guitar. It is super fluous to observe that the oddity of a Parliamentary candi date, on the flaming patriot interest, answering a plain question through his lawyer, is of itself a sufficient stimulus to popular curiosity. We cannot undertake to present our refuters with anything like a complete account of the real or imaginary life and adventures of Don or Senor Juan de Vega. A very brief summary will, however, suffice for those practical purposes with which alone we are now concerned. This Juan de Vega was, then, be it known to the electors of Westminster, an exiled Spanish Nobleman in disguise, who tramped about the country some years back, on a tour of minstrelsy and mendicancy—picked up all he could get in the way of cash, kindness, and broken victuals— wormed himself into the good graces of many worthy and respectable families of the most gullible class of British society, who made the unfortunate and interesting refugee free both to their sympathies and their dinners—and finally wound up the " frolic," by publishing a disgusting book, foully slandering the wives, daughters, sisters, and ser vants of his kind-hearted dupes. In two words, Don or Senor Juan de Vega was an excellent subject for the discipline of the cart's tail and the horse pond. It is a matter, of course, of the smallest possible concern to us whether Mr. Cochrane be capable or not of knowing good advice when he sees it. But as we wish the simpleton no harm, we make him kindly welcome to the benefit of our very decided opinion that he had better let the memory of his "youthful indiscretions" go quietly to sleep again, as soon as may be. We do not suppose there can be much use in advising such a person, and we certainly do not feel disposed to take any particular trouble about so unpro mising an experiment. It, however, he should think proper on our well-meant suggestion, to refrain from enlarging the catalogue of his " indiscretions," and to throw him self at once on the mercies of public oblivion, we shall always feel a Christian satisfaction in the idea of having been in strumental in sending home a fool to be taken care of by his friends. WEEKLY DISPATCH.—Ma. CocnneNE AND TAM REPRESINTATION OF WEATIAINSTES.-1 hat remarkably vain and equally silly personage, Mr. Cochrane, who has lately rendered himself conspicuous as a working member of the Poor Man's Guardian Society, and by poking his nose into soup-kettles, and all for the sake of gaining a little popu larity ere the struggle for Westminster's representation take place, has threatened the worthy proprietor of The Sun with as action, because he has admitted into the columns of his independent journal a number of letters relating to one Juan de Vedra, and who, it was hinted by the writers, is no less a personage than Mr. Cochrane himself. Two or three meet ings of the electors, all consequent n on the appearance of the letters in The Sun, have since ken place ; and from (cleat transpired at those meeting,. -e advise Mr. Cochrane, iitieetriameeeep.reeeree...,eor his ceeeeuei the case euto... b e.-, to- those who had not an opportunity of perusing an article on the subject of the election of Westminster, inserted in the Dispatch last week, we may repeat, that sonic years since one Juan de Vedra travelled the counties of Kent and Sussex as a Spanish minstrel. He was a smart foppish sort of a fellow, who thought every girl who Caine in contact with hint deeply smitten with his personal appearance. His black, glossy hair, rendered still more glossy by sonic unc tuous appliance—his fanciful dress, and his gentlemanly de portment—all these, added to a good natural voice and the proficiency_ be had attained as a guitarist, rendered him an object of peculiar interest among the gentry, by whom he was noticed, and taken from the streets into their houses and petted. Sundry young ladies thought him " a nice young man," and married ladies confessed their admiration of him. The young people flirted with him, and the old folk became quite gay in the company of the poor exiled Spaniard—the dear young creature who had been obliged to quit his country and his home in consequence of having formed political notions inimical to the existing Government. Presently Juan de Vedra, _ after having visited Canterbury, Margate , Rams gate, Hastings, and Brighton, published a book, in which he was not sparing in his remarks upon the gay and vola tile cenduct of these who had fed him, and furnished him silver and gold. The young were ashamed that they had flirted with a stranger, and the more matronly blushed for the'r folly and the dirty conduct of Juan de Vedra. Time, the great agent in developing all hidden things, at length dis covered the author of the work to be, not Juan de Vedra, but a Mr. Cochrane, and many were the curses uttered against hirtrin consequence. We had lost sight of Mr. Cochrane for many years; but at length his name came upon the carpet, in conjunction with that of Mr. Walter, Mr. Bond Cabbell, and Mr. Hansard, and since then he has been a sort of soup manufacturer-general to the Poor Man's Guardian Society _s society, by-the-by, whose greatest claim to notice has been the facility with which it has hitherto wormed subscrip tions out of the pockets of the rich, for the alleged object of benefitting the poor—though how many poor men and women have been assisted by the society, except in the article of soup, we have it not in our power to state. Well, , Mr. Cochrane, backed up by the soup-kettles, and thinking that his connexion with a few great men besides, and especially the Poor Man's Guardian Society, must secure him a great deal of notice and popularity, offered himself to represent Wes•minster, and then came the letters in The Sun, v4ondering whether Mr. Cochrane was the Juan de Vedra of such unenvialde notoriety. Mr. Cochrane bore the pelting like a martyr for some days ; but at length the leaven of uneasiness was so strong within him, that it turned up his bile, and he forthwith caused an advertisement to be inserted in the daily journals, stating that he had employed a solicitor to bring an action against the proprietor of The Suss for the levelling observations of his correspondents. There was more in the proceeding than was meant. Mr. Cochrane never intended to bring an action against Mr. young, and Mr. Young is not the man to be frightened at a shadow. So a parcel of Mr. Cochrane's friends called a meeting, and they summoned him to their presence. Then and there Mr. Cochrane - admitted that he had travelled through Kent and Sussex as a minstrel ; that he per sonated Juan de Vedra ; that he wrote a book ; that he re ceived money from the public--lonly he said that the book was not of such an infamous character as had been descr bed ; still he would not have written what he had printed upon more mature deliberation, and he must attribute the publication to youthful folly. With regard to the money which he had collected some 50/. or 601.), he said he had presented it to the Spanish refugees. Now, we ask whether such a man as this is a fit person to represent the important city of Westminster? We look upon Mr. Cochrane as a mere adventurer; a sort of place-hunter, to whom any situation would he a god-send. We must look to men of character, talent, and station, to represent our metropolitan boroughs, possessing as they do immense and enlightened constituen cies. We do not require your Quixotic adventurers; we want a man acquainted with commerce, statistics, and figures, and, above all, well read in the history of Europe; and if we may draw a conclusion, after reading Mr. Cochrane's speeches, he is a mere surface man—a person of small-talk— with no mercantile knowlege, and with just tongue enough to humbug an old woman and blarney a young one. Mr. Cochrane's doom is sealed. He will not be the future repre sentative for Westminster. We give him this timely hint, ;.hat he may save his money.

At a meeting held at the Craven Head, Drury-lane, on Monday last, Mr. Cochrane alluded to the correspondence which had appeared in The Sun newspaper, and is reported in the Horning Advertiser to have said, as follows :—" One of the letters appeared to be written by a Mr. Bass, of Brighton, a gentleman whom he knew very well, and who had treated him with kindne.s. In fact, dressed as he was at the time, he was supposed to be a Spanish Quaker, and treated accordingly, and he had certainly enjoyed the joke very much. He bad however written to Mr. Bass on the subject of the letter, and that gentleman denied that he was the writer of it, or that be knew anything at all about it." The following letters appear in the Morning Advertiser of this day:— " TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING ADVERTISER. "Brighton, 2d Month, 26, 1847. "Sir,—As I obserie in thy paper of the Aid instant that my name is made common property between the electors of Westminster and one of their candidates. I will thank thee to give publicity to the correspondence which has taken place between Charles Cochrane and myself; in order to show the electors the extent of my acquaintance with their candidate. " It may be as well to state that I never iu the least sup posed he was a Spanish Quaker, but was induced to treat him with kindness merely from a belief that he was a re fugee. I aat, respectfully, &c., "ISAAC BASS." "26, Devonshire-place, Marylebone, Loudon, " Saturday, Feb. 20, 1847. Sir 7 7-4 feel it my duty to forward you The Sun evening purporting to come from you, and to which my attention was drawn yesterday evening. Permit me to premise, that I do not suspect for a moment that you have written the letter, as I am quite sure you are incapable of anything so gross or unjust, as your kindness to me, whilst under the character of a Spanish minstrel, and the marked acknowledment by me in my work of such kind ness, could leave no other, I presume, than agreeable re miniscences between us. It is necessary, however, for the sake of my character, and the future proceedings which I purpose adopting, that I should communicate with you, and I shall feel greatly obliged by an answer at your earliest convenience.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, " CHARLES COCHRANE. "Mr. Bass, Grove-street, Brighton." " Brighton, 2d Month, 22, 1847. "Until the receipt of The Sun newspaper, which thou sent me, I knew nothing of the paragraph concerning Juan De Vega. I well remember the circumstance of being imposed on, and afterwards seeing it ridiculously detailed in thy book, and in a way which thou must be quite aware would carry with it anything but agreeable reminiscences. " To Charles Cochrane." " J. BASS. " 26, Devonshire-place, Thursday, Feb. 25, 1847. " Sir,—lt is with great regret that I have read that por tion of your letter which appears to indicate impressions on your mind other than what I could have desired, relative to my acquaintance with you, under the character of a Spanish minstrel. I can sincerely assure you of this, that I never had the most distant intention of doing or saying aught that might prove unpleasant, and I trust you will bear in mind, that however much the indiscretion of my conduct might be apparent to you, the motives were innocent, and I was a mere stripling at the time. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " CHARLES COCHRANE." Mr. Cochrane and Juan de Vega are now established to be one and the same person. We will, therefore, in a few days, enlighten the electors of Westminster as to the sayings and doings of the Senor Juan de Vega, and enable them to judge for themselves as to his fitness to represent them. We will also give them a " Biographical Sketch of Mr. C. Cochrane, candidate for Westminster," to compare with the one printed in the Morning Advertiser of 17th December last, and since reprinted by authority at the steam-press of W. H. Cox, 5, Great Queen-street, and circulated as a handbill among the electors. Mr. Cochrane seeks publicity—we will assist him to his heart's content. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, FEBRUARY 27.

THE NEW PAINLESS OPERATION AT THE COVEN.. Tay HOSPITAL. —A surgical operation was performed under the influence of ether, by Mr. Laxon, in the presence of the other medical officers of the institution, at the hospital in this city, on Sunday, Feb. 14 . The s ubject was a little bo y named Henry Jackson, a native of Coventry, but d been living at Bedworth, with his grandmother. He was admitted to the hospital on the 22d of December, being th en very ill and suffering under the effects of stone in the bladder, with which he bad been afflicted for the last three years. Upon applying the instrument by means of which the ether is inhaled, the boy appeared to become insensible in about a minute and a half. The operation was then commenced. The boy struggled considerably at first, but did not appear to suffer pain, as he did not give utterance to any sound what ever, The inhalation being continued, he speedily became oblivious to all pain during at least a quarter of an hour, the operation being unavoidably protracted to that period by the large size of the stone. IN' hen the operation was over, and the boy had recovered his consciousness, he declared himself quite ignorant of everything that had taken p lace.—Coventr y Herald. THE CON FESSIONAL.—CONSPIR ACY AMONG THE CLERGY.—The Romanizing clergy in Oxford and other places have lately adopted a plan of leaving open churches half an hour before each service, and half an hour after it, for the purpose of receiving confession. They alio contemplate es t a bli s hing confraternities, first in the metropolis, an d a f t er ward in provincial towns, the internal policy of the " society being reserved from the eye of the world to anti cipation and defeat of their plans."the expedients for corrupting the Protestant laity is t o b One ore vent the e the establishment of " well-selected lending libraries" for scientific and literary works, with a judicious admixture of theology and ecclesias tical pamphlets of a certain sort. Dissenters are to be ad dressed with soft words, instead of "tongue-hammers," until the principles of the society are adopted to a sufficient extent, to put down what the prospectus terms, " the discordant confusion of tongues," and substitute "the deep and well toned harmony of the one Catholic church 1" Fore-women • foreqtrowle—Oxford Chronicle. BLACK WOOD. Under the guise of a magazine article, the whole somest principles of benevolence are inculcated in the paper "On Pauperism and its Treatment." Although we cannot detect any coincidence between the writer's views on political economy and the great system re cently introduced into the British Constitution by the Imperial Parliament, we are eager to express our own coincidence in those philanthrophic sentiments which have evidently dictated the contribution. At such a crisis, when almost a moiety of the population of the United Kingdom is suffering from the agonies of starva tion, when Government is advancing to Ireland alone a sum of not less than 10,000,0001., when throughout the diversities of society, from our Sovereign Lady down to the simplest handicraftsman among her subjects, the good work of nati ona l c h ar i ty i s p ros p er i ng , it is grati fying to see the abilities of a publication like Blittood directed to so useful and important a purpose. How ever erroneous may be the opinions of the contributor as to the instruments most advisable t o b e em pl o y e d for the distribution of imperial bounties, we are not loth on that account to acknowled ge t h e exce ll ence o f the a i m of t h e proposition. Little permanent benefit, however, can be anticipated from the unanimous efforts making in behalf of the Irish, unless a betn r disposition be evinced by them for the reception and application of that assistance. ',Ve are far from alluding to the peasantry themselves, for we know by their patience and long suffering, during the storms of external; agitation and the anguish of do mestic dearth, that they are an enduring, unrepining, gentle, and eminently religious race. The speech de livered from the throne, by the lips of her most gracious Majesty Victoria, contained an eulogistic allusion to this noble spirit of endurance of the Irish peasantry under afflictions which would have rendered other men morally distraught and in no manner prepared to bend slid:mut a struggle or a murmur to the pitiless casual ties of vegetation and the terrible decrees of an omniscient and all-merciful God. It is to the absent landowners, to the smaller resident land lords,-and the larger tenant-farmers, that our observa tion is peculiarly applicable. Unless these men exhibit a better inclination to co-operate with the Legislature, the evils of penury and scarcity cannot be permanently eradicated from that hapless island. While the robust . and thriving sons of the latter class are actually tha t:ltched as la_Nagrers to the public works, for the purpose of fining tbete-sywo maws and pockets at the expense of the humble destitute, it were madness to anticipate any effectual advantages to accrue to the country indiscrimi nately. Out-door relief, enlargement of poor-houses, distribution of seed to the amount of 50,0004, wholesale manufacture of soup under the supervision et: M. Boyer, complicated commissariat, and ten millions of money, will be wholly unable to restore happiness and prospe rity to the desolate hills and valleys of Hibernia, if these things are continued, if these men are permitted to thrive on their damning trade with impunity, if this heinous crime—the defrauding of the poor—one of the four great crimes crying out to heaven for vengeance —be connived at, and allowed to pass unpunished. Men like these are traitors not only to this country, but to their race and kind. In little truth, they are nothing less than assassins and homicides. Call things by their right names, and those are the names we should givo them. Speak from the heart the language of the heart, and we should exclaim with Emilia, in Othello : " 0 that there were in every honest hand a whip : To lash such rascals naked through the world." The opening article is followed by a narrative translated from the Danish, and called " The Poacher ; or Jut land a hundred and thirty years since." " A Rids to Magnesia" is a pleasant description of a scene but seldom described, and consequently one that is doubly agreeable from its novelty. Since the period of Sir Stamford Raffles the Spice Islands, in the Indian Ocean, have continued to attract more and more attention, both from the central character of their position, and the rich ness of their productions. Any additional account of any individual island in that magnificent archipelago is hence of a remarkable interest, and from these reasons, as well as from the admirable manner in which iit is compiled, the contribution in relation to Java is not the least attractive in the number. Building upon an ec centric fabric of the romantic and the real, from a theme which Cooper and Walter Scott, in his " Peveril of the Peak," and Robert Southey, in his " Oliver Newman," had already exhausted, a certain writer in Blackwood has thought proper to favour the public with his remi niscences of travel, and has christened his lucubration " The Cave of the Regicides." An euphoneous title enough, and one calculated to raise goblin phantasms in the imagination of the populace, but stale, marvellously stale, to speak truly. Whatever may be the ideas of this individual as to the " usual buffooneries," as he elo quently styles them; of Thomas Carlyle, we defer to him whether it might not be advisable to copy somewhat of the purpose with which that , great writer always in vests anything that proceeds from his pen. Let him look well to the beam before he becomes parlous about the mote—let him look to his own literary sins before ho presumes to turn critic. In the commencement of the paper headed " Latest from the Peninsula," there is a 1 crushing review of the recent " Overland Journey to Lisbon," by Mr. T. M. Hughes. The sarcasm is caustic and excoriating: Ebony evinces a matchless aterbityz old Christopher lays his crutch about him lustily. The criticism is not altogether unmerited, and as a piece of satire is delightful. Among the verses insert& in this number, the following epigram is not bad:— " Bait, hook, and hair, are used by angler fine ; Emina's bright hair alone were bait, hook, line ;" though we doubt whether the verb and the nominative case in the second verse agree in ',umber. The next is better. " l'sra.day" says the writer " was the Yost to elicit the electric spark from the magnet; he found that " Around the magnet Faraday Is sure that Volta's lightnings play; But bow to draw them from the wire? Ile took a lesson from the heart: 'TN when we meet, 'Lis when we part, Breaks forth the electric tire." The short poem, " To the Stethoscope," is beautifully conceived, and from the exquisite melody and fanciful ness of the opening passag, a vie anticipated a metrical gem but seldom found in a mazszine. The close, how ever, is so wretched—it is such a miserable anti-climax in st)le, that we were singularly disappointed. To wards the commencement we find this graceful conceit:— " 1 - c stars which bloom like flowers on high, Ye flowers which are the stars of earth." Towards the conclusion comes— " Life shall sometimes sound a blast, But it shall be but Tantivy !" 0, for a corner to enshrine that " Tantivy" in the bathos .of Martians Scriblerus. The au vokur, au voleur, au voleur, au voleur of Sganarelle, in the " Pre cieuses Ridicules" of Moliere, is not more droll. A letter on the " Divining Rod" (little less disagreeable than a letter from a creditor), and a humorous re minder of the Nodes, called " form Catullianse," terminate the March number. 110TVITTS JOURNAL. Weekly and monthly in its form of publication, Mr. Howitt's periodical offers attractions to a large body of readers. Its very title is a sufficient indication of the spirit in which it is conducted, and forms a guarantee that in its pages the cause of the people will not merely be respected, but sedulously and energetically advocated. We have already observed upon the distinguished cha racter of its contributors, and we may here repeat some of the names which will be discovered in the March part, viz.:—R. H. Horne, Silverpen, Thomas Cooper, Hans Christian Aildersen, Dr. Bowring, and Dr. Smiles. The editor himserf evinces remarkable industry. Although the engravings are rather indifferent, the literary con tents are sufficiently meritorious to compensate for that single deficiency. THE TRAVELLER'S MISCELLANY. There has long been a necessity for a periodical answer ing exactly to the size, exactly to the character, exactly to the talent, and exactly to the arrangement of the Travel- - lees Miscellany. In all these particulars the first number, now lying before us, is admirable. Are amusing narra tives wanted, drollery, gossip, pleasant and sparkling compositions ? Here are abundance. And for informa tion—the pages are crammed with it. We know not publication more fitted to beguile the stages of journey, the transit of a steam-packet, or the inter stations of a railway trip than this excellent little magazine. It is as effectual as the most facetious " com panion in scaring away the hvidi diaboli, vulgo, blue devils." It is better than any guide book, in respect to the miscellaneous information most useful to travellers. We would especially note the " Theatrical Guide," the " Callender for the Current Month," the " Catalogue of Exhibitions and Amusements in the Metropolis," the " Excursion Guide," the " Time Table," the Post-office, Passport, and steam-boat Guides," cunt ca.teris paribus. They are as copious and compact as the magazine itself is worthy of commendation. THE PARLIAMENTARY VOTE BOOK. By Robert O'Byrne, jun. A laborious and faithful exposition of the votes of the House of Commons' legislators during the last session.

It ail. who represented himself to be a commercial traveller,ieekiegman, a h n a'd frequented the house to dine, and on most oc casions had done so with the landlord or landlady, in the bar-parlour. On Friday he came as usual, bringing with him a carpet-bag. Whilst dining, some one came into the bar, and kept the landlady in conversation for some time. Dinner being over, the supposed commercial gentleman paid hie reckoning and departed. Shortly after this, it was dis covered that the cash-box and its contents had been carried off; and another box, exactly similar in appearance, substi tuted for it, and which, on being examined, was found to contain nothing but sand.

W un feigned pleasure, that the f r i en d s o f Poland p are going to take a step which cannot b u t b e a pp rove d by every upright man, and exercise a great influence both in England and on the Continent. It is to mark with public indignation the recent violation of the treaty of Vienna, and to petition the Crown on the annexation of the Republic of Cracow to Austria. The tyranny of the three despotic powers of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, will be powerfully exposed by many public charac ters, including several Members of Parliament, who have determined to take a part in the manifestation of feelings excited throughout the civilised world, on account of the destruction of the last relic of Polish nationality. "An affair of honour" between a distinguished disciple of Esculapius and a gallant captain, arising out of a dispute at a late meeting of subscribers to the Chepstow Agricultural Society, was prevented on Tuesday last by the interference of a constable, who arrived at the field of battle [ just as the combatants were prepared for the affray.—Bristot Journal. We have authority to state that the Mrs. Butler announced to give readinF,s at the Hanover-square Rooms, to-night, is not the Mrs. Butler, late Miss Fanny Seuble.
