By thus acting they have kept good faith with the public in their ministration of the important functions connected with the intellectual cul ture of the community at large. They have scrupu lously adhered to the avowed object for which they announced to Parliament that stipends were to be given, which are, not to make clergymen, but masters of schools. By this impartial management the Govern ment takes the most honourable course for allaying the animosity with which the Dissenters, and espe cially the Wesleyans, viewed the new features in the scheme of education, as broached by the Marquis of LANSDOWNE in the early part of the session. The question is not whether the Dissenters have any right to demand the exclusion of clergymen of the Esta blished Church from the offi.e of master in national schools, supported by public moneys ; but whether the various bodies of Dissenters, so deservedly influential in this country, would not be justified in viewing with jealousy and alarm a distribu tion of patronage consonant with the views of the Bishop of EXETER, and further, whether it could not be maintained that the gratification of the Bishop's object would not be a palpable diversion of the public resources from a particular purpose to another and totally different character. Every rational and un biassed mind would feel itself impelled to answer these latter queries in the affirmative. To have passed the motion would have been viewed as a gross attempt on the part of the stronger party to oppress the weaker, and this at the expense of a flagrant breach of good faith. At the grave ri.k of offending the atrabilious Bishop, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE has manfully avowed his earnest desire to conciliate the Wesleyan community, a body to whom the Arch bishop of CANTERBURY has declared the greatest esteem is due. The integrity of the Government throughout their supervision of the national institu tions for the education of the humbler classes merits the highest encomium. On the other hand, the quantum of praise due to the Bishop of EXETER for his rapacious, but happily unsuccessful mauceuvre, defies all calculation. Ex nihilu nihil fit.

Moving .. 53 mthutea after 12 I r.veninz 21 ,innt.. cr 9 #q The report of the Special Committee on the sus pension of Bills for new railways was on Thursday adopted with some slight and unimportant amend ments, while such of the resolutions as are intended to form the substance of new standing orders were referred to the Standing Orders' Committee. There can scarcely be a difference of opinion as to the pro priety, nay, the imperative necessity of some inter ference with the quantity of railway business now pending before the House. The present disturbed state of the money-market, the manner in which our national finances, and all the commercial in terests of the country are fettered and restricted by the Act of 1844—an Act which could scarcely be supposed to have any object but that of creating uni versal distress and general embarrassment—forbade the immediate progress of many schemes excellent in themselves, and calculated eventually to be attended with great advantages both to the public and the shareholders. A certain pause was desired by many ; a breathing time, that would permit the monetary affairs of the country to be placed in a sounder and healthier position ; a power of suspending, without abandoning, their prospects; of retaining the ground they had pre- occupied, on which they had expended time, labour, and money, and which would undoubtedly be immediately seized by others, if they for a moment exhibited symptoms of yielding it up. We long since, and indeed previous to the adoption of Lord DALnouste's Bill, advocated the concession of such a power, not merely .n the Bills pending before the Legislature, but in those sanc tioned during former sessions. We desired that the periods within which the companies were hound to complete their works should be extended, so as to afford more ample time to the shareholders for the payment of the calls. No zilch alternative, however, was then afforded ; no choice was allowed but that of dissolution or active progress. Many who would gladly have bided their time, and waited for a more propitious season to carry their works into execution, could not consent to sacrifice the expenditure that had already taken place, to aban ion the advantages they hoped ultimately to attain. They therefore voted against the dissolution of their respective com panies, at d the pressure on the market was incre.sed and aggravated by the unwise refusal of the power. The members of the S[ecial CO-....mittee have exhi bited greater discretion in the present instance. They unanimously rejected the suggesti in that all Bills should be arrested without exception—that a com pulsory stoppage should be put to their further progress. Such a course would be most unjust to the parties interested—a most improper interference with the rights of the individual shareholders. There were cases, too, where the expense of the construction would be trivial in comparison to the benefits to other more important lines, and where any delay would be most injurious to parties concerned. A selec tion by the Committee of the Bill of those that should be allowed to go on, and of those that should be rejected or stayed, would also be open to grave objections ; indeed, were it even desirable, it would be a matter of the greatest difficulty, if nut impossibility, for the Committee to enter into the necessary investigations. They, therefore, decided on leaving it optional with the parties to suspend further proceedings on the second reading or any subsequent stage of a Bill, and to proceed with the same Bill next session at the stage where it has now been suspended, and the deposits in the mean• time to be returned to the parties by whom they were made. This privilege will, no doubt, be eagerly accepted by many of the companies: belligerents who are contending for particular districts will gladly consent to a temporary armistice during which their differences may be amicably arranged, or on the cessation of which they may return to the contest with renewed vigour. On the whole, although some few may have desired that the Committee should Lye adopted a stronger course, there are none who will not approve of the step they have taken. In addition to this judicious decision, the Commit tee came to certain other resolutions directed against some of the abuses that have hitherto prevailed in the railway system, and which resolutions will put a total and immediate stop to the objectionable practices. One of those is directed, and most pro perly, against the recently introduced system of pay ing interest on the amount of calls out of the capital of the company. Such a course was well termed a mockery, a delusion, and a snare, and led many people to think that they were making an investment on which they should receive a certain interest for a limited period, with a future increase ; such a course was, to say the least of ir, illusory and unworthy the English character. It was wholly unknown in former times, and its chief effect was to induce many who really could not afford to speculate, or to lie out of their money for any prolonged time, to join the undertakings. The other resolutions are of no less important a character, and have been no less urgently called for. They are directed against the construc tion of branches, extensions, or the contribution to other lines of railway by existing compa nies, until there shall have been a subscription contract actually entered into, and deposits paid for the special purpose. They prohibit tliem, moreover, from paying out of their capital, rai , ;ed for other objects, the depo sits required by the 'Atancling orders on other projects. There are other wad. most judicious restrictions placed on the powers oft purchase, sale, lease, or amalgama tion, until cr irtain portions of the capital authorised to be rat t ed should be actually bona fide paid up, in the te - ,;iicy of which we fully and cordially concur, and whi c h, we d oubt not, will receive the approba tion of the public. to Lake Maggiore, and thence to the lakes of Wal lenstadt and Constance. By the Independance of Brussels of Wednesday we have the following description of the result of the elections in Belgium:— " The electors had to return yes:erday sixty member, to the Chamber of Representatives (47 for the ordinary renewal of the Chamber, and 13 new nominations). Out of these 60, 36 belong openly to the Liberal party; the clerical party and the Ministry can claim only 24, and even amongst the new members there are some whom their previous career attaches more to our opinion that , to that of our adversaries. We shall not now make and long reflections on the result obtained, but we conside it as excellent for the Liberal opinion, and it appears t" us to respond to all the hopes that could have been in dulged in. We may also► remark that out of the meat hers subjected to re-election 21 had voted against tb , Ministry in the memorable division of April 29, 1846. and 21 had voted in its favour. But out of the 21 op ponents only one of those who again presented them selves was rejected by the..electors; whilst out of the partisans of the Ministry five were beaten." Madrid papers of the 6th have arrived, but from the extraordinary interest attached to the position at political parties in Portugal, little intelligence is con tained in them relative to Spanish affairs. No infor mation had been received in the capital confirmatory of the capture of Des ANTAS by the squadron of Oporto. Contradictions had appeared in most of the newspapers of the rumoured entrance of the troops of Queen ISABELLA into Portugal, and of their occupa tion of the Valenza de Minho. According to the chit-chat of the capital upon the day our dispatch started, it was believed that hi , „ Majesty the KING-CONSORT had visited the Papal Nuncio Mozisignore BRUNELLI, and that the latter personage entertained hopes of arranging a recon ciliation between the royal couple. Little credit wa. however given to the cn dit. MADRID BOLSA, JUNE 2.—The Three per Cents. wer( done at 30%; the Four per Cents. at 18 ; the Five per Cents. at 18)g ; the Debt without Interest at 5% ; and the Coupons at 15. The Paris journals of Thursday have been duly re ceived. The discussions of the preceding day, in the Chamber of Deputies, testified the ardour of the an tagonism which is growing more intense every suc cessive day between the Government and the Oppo sition. It is amusing to observe the diversity of opinion expressed by the different journals upon the. character and bearing of the discussions, one per ceiving merely rhodomontade and fustian, where another recognises logic and eloquence, and vice versa. Among the more significant casualities of the debate, perhaps the most remarkable was the evidence of im patience and indifference afforded by the Deputies during the harangue of M. GUIZOT. Is this the shadow of the coming event—or rather, to him, of the coming disaster ? Is the awe of his didactic utterance fading into derision and scorn ? Is the prestige of his voluble voice vanishing ? Referring to the discussions which arose upon the justification of the total occupation of Algeria by General LANIoRICIERE, and the examination of the propriety or impropriety of the Kabylia expedition, and the establishment of the French civil possession in Africa, the Constitutionnel remarks as follows : " M. de Lamoriciere possesses considerable fluency, and the demonstration which he made of the advantages of our establishment in Algeria appeared to us irre futable! His plan of colonization is more questionable, and we shall examine it when the question shall be brought before the Chamber. After that speech, and a few observations from M. de Tracy, M. Guizot ascended the tribune. At length, said he, the Chamber is tame to be perfectly informed as to the intentions of the Government with re=pect to Algeria. We were disappointed. M. Guizot ascended the tribune as ignorant of the subject to be treated, and as sterile of ideas, as we have ever seen him. It was that he had not statistics and in .ps prepared by the Mi nester of War, nor that he was deficient in extracts front dispatches, instructions, and proclamations. But M Guiz it comprehends not figures, nor facts, nor details, shenever the question is not to generalise, by some theory of philosophy and history, but to deduce fro°. them a practical resoluth et, a fruitful idea, or an act to Government. Facts teach him to speak, but not to act; and never has his port olio contained anything but book or a piece of special pleading. Thus, he confined himself to reading, without any order or method, a cote tinuation of letters and extracts—a summary of ex penses contracted--and figures arranged at random. The Chamber was completely fatigued—private converse tions began to raise their murmur, and we saw M. Guizot, the skilful orator, the chief of the Cabinet, die cussirg the most important question which now occu pies France, have occasion to obtain silence tbr 'ugh th, intervention of officious triends or of the Presidest. Some Conservatives, aho found themselves about to fat! asleep, thought it prudent to quit their places, fearinc to tail in respect to the great Minister, as M. Demo , did in the Chamber of Peers during the speeech of M. de Salvandy. But Bou Maza. who atter). led the sittin_ in a private tribune, hit himself vanquished by the me notonous tone of the Minister's voice, and closed his eye The clever Arab, like the entire Chamber, was tire,' inte sleep. Such was the triumph which M. Guizot ob tained on the subject of Africa. This keg speech eon rained nothing but a prepared eulogium on Marsbat Bu- t sod, on whom M. Guiz it was happy to cast the weight of the discussian. Not that the Ministry does. not. accept the resp it - Ability of all that has been done ie. Africa; but M. Guiz ,t invented, as is well known, t: Ministerial responsibility of a peculiar nature—a pune constitutional fiction. The Ministers, for example, did not approve the expedition against Kabylia, but th• admit the. they suffered it. The moral respensibilie, belongs to the Marehal• Governor—the responsibility o the Tribune belongs to the Minister, who is a mere man of straw. Tnat expedition against, Kabylia be came to-day an overpowering proof of the profound in capacity of the Ministry, and the occasion of th strong.st revelations. It was discovered to day that the Minister in all his dispa.cheS to the Marshal previous to the 2d of March had opposed the idea 0, such en expedition. Suddenly, on the 10th of March. the Minister of War wrote to the Marshal to authorie him to enter into Kabylia On the 12th the Minister e t War, on learning the voluutary submission of severe: Kabyle tribes, changed his opinion, and regarded the ex pedition as unnecessary. Nevertheless, the moment fur execution arrived, and the Moniteur Algerian announced the entrance of the troops into campaign. M. Guizot being questioned in the Chambers, retuned to explain he neither approved nor disapproved, and he remainee obstinately silent. It was only a few days since that the Government formed an opinion. It appears from what we have already stated, that after the 12th of March the Minister had two descriptions of dispatches in his pert folio—the one forbidding the expedition, the other au thorising it. The commission demanded that those dis patches should be communicated to it. The duty of at honourable Ministry was to refuse all communication, or to communicate all. But M. Guizot communicated the dispatches blaming the exped don, and concealed those which authorised it; and M. Guizot, like a Parliamen tary conjuror, produced the latter dispatches in the midst of the discussion." On Thursday the Chamber of Deputies continued the adjourned debate upon the extraordinary credits re quired fur Algeria. Among the more important decisions of the Chambers upon this particular was one for the opening of a credit of 25,000,000 franc for the support of 34,000 men and 3,300 horses be yond the forces already determined in 1846. After 'a few observations from M BEAUMONT, BUREAt DE PUZY, and GARNIER PAGES, the proposal in was acceded to with the diminution of 75,000 francs from the required 25,000,000. A very pleasant little calculation is given by tip- National—a calculation likely to afflict the bellicose. coxcombs of the Boulevards with asphixia—namely, that whereas in 1831 the effective troops of France in Algeria amounted to 18,000 men of all ranks and regiments, they have increased successively in 1834 to 30,000 men ; in 1838 to 48.000 men ; in 1841 to 70,000 men ; in 1843 to 76,000 men; in 1845 to 83,000 men ; and in 1846 to 101,000 men! In the Moniteur Algerien of the sth instant is an. nounced the arrival of the squadron of evolution at Algiers, and the honourable reception of the Prince DE JorNviu.s by the Governor-General. On Thursday the remains of Marshal GROUCHY were consigned to the grave in the cemetery of Pere la chaise, having been conveyed thither with much pomp from the Invalides. Among the mourners were the two sons of the departed warrior, Lieutenant- General and Colonel GROUCHY, together with Gene ral ARTHUR O'CoNNoR, a veteran now in his eighty fourth year, and whose wife was the niece of Mar shal GROUCHY and the only child of CONDORCET. From the Gazette du Midi of the 30th Ult. we tale the subjoined : " Maria Christina leaves to-morrow. She did net meet the reception here which she expected, and still less such a reception as the marriage portion question must ever procure her in France. The King was travelling with the Queen, and had taken with him his two bro• there—the Counts of Aquila and Trappani—they have not returned, and Christina departs without having seen _otters and rn s from Italy mention the or- ou al ganization of tjany of her family except her mother the Queen Dowager, UsCANY, one for the compilation of Grand Duke of "T° C°lllll3issims' by order of the other sister of Christina, the Infants Amelia, who re and the Princess Caroline, her youngest sister.

Urn:Unit Vim L' ,NDON. SATURDAY. JUNE 12. (847. !Imlay Piiita.roiTs, having somewhat recovered from the buffeting so severely administered to him, some time since, by the Mayor of Exeter, re-ap peared last night in the House of Lords, and, with his lawn sleeves well tucked up, resolutely put on the gloves to risk a boxing matca with the Marquis Or LANSDOWNE on the subject of education. As an old Westminster pupil, the President of the Council ced his skill in the pugilistic art, and very spt3einly knocked the breath out of the body of his spiritual antagoni , t. The pugnacious Lord ETANLEY, who loves the science of sparring t" his heart's con tent, acted as second to HARRY of Exeter, hut could make nothing of the contest with so miserable a prin eipal. On the other hand, the ..tfarqui4 of LANSDOWNE was seconded by the Bishop of NORWICH, that being " the unkindest cut of all " to his ecclesiastical com peer. The Bizhop of NORWICH made no disguise of his s entiments. He emphatic.illy told the Bishop of E xaTsa, recoiling from the blows of his opponent, that he well merited the handling he got, for that u be ought t o h ave acted straightforwardly, have attempted t o receive, fora particular purpose which money out of th e p u b lic fundsought to come out of the private s ources of himself and uldand others ; that he ought to have been above strikingzszde blow, and that his proposal, if car r i e d , create disgust throughout the country, especially am the Diz,senters.” The proposal of the discomfited Bishop was to the following effect :—" That it is the opinion that persons in holy orders, not exercising holy orders, ought not as such to be ineligible to the office of schoolmasters in schools receiving aid from Parliamentary grants." This is an abstract resolu tion than which, as a general rule, there is nothing to which either House of Parliament has a greater objection to confirm. It invariably implies a great deal more than is expressed in its literal terms, and is generally resorted to for hypocritical pur po ses . The latter assertion is, for the mast I part, easily corroborated by a reference to the pabba _dluter of the mover. For practical QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) LIBEL ON MISS ELIZA COOK. Sir F. THESIGEB applied to the Court to have the ule nisi obtained in this ca,e made absolute against the ;,roprirtor of the Daily Advertiser. After a long argument, Lord DENMAN delivered the judgment of the Court, It was their opinion. upon the discussion which they had card, that it was not proved that it was intended to libel ,hiss Elizi Co,lc. On a reasonable reading of the iiaragraph, it was plain that there were two persons of he name of Eliza CoA; one a supposed murderess, and he other a poetess, and there was a distinction drawn hat the poetess was nit enjoying the fame she ought to njoy, while the other had obtained some celebrity. The Court consid-red that the case should never have been -card of Mr. Justice Wightman was too much lad by he opinion of Mr. Martin, that if the rule were granted t would never be heard of more. Mr. Justice PATTESON concurred in the decision of he Court; it was quite plain that there were two per .ons, and any reasonable person cou;d not fail to dis ,over that a distinction had been drawn between them. An application was then made that the rule be dis !hareed with cost. Mr. Justice I)ENMAN —Oh, no, you must write with ore care in future. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice WicarrmAN.) Several or the ordinary motions were disposed of, bul totting of public interest occurred. :BANKRUPTCY.-_(T HIS DAY.) (detore dlr. Coretnissioat.r GOULBURN.) IN RE WIGIITMAN. This bankrupt, who had carried on business as a voollen dr.:p.a, at Colchester, came up to pass his last •xamination. It appeared from the balance sheet that the bankrupt lad in January, 1843, a capital o f 4 70 / . O n hi s exainina however, th at t hi s statement was t two year s b e f ore h e had compounded o n n aci i o t us a , p a p s ea a r b el! ,u , .rich his creditors, and had obtained goods on credit. His present debts and liabilities are about 6041. 19s. 7d.; property, 70/. His HoNoua said this was one of those cases in which, .o prevent the punishment arising from beginning a were adventure without capital, the accountants wade ,ut a spurious account commencing with a capital, and ;:his led to further fabrications —this, however, was natter to be inquired into on the application for the certificate. Tile solicitor to the assignee said books and property wid been secreted by a person in the employ of the , moltrupt—this person, who had been examined, ad ,nitted the possession of the property, but before a search •varrant could be sent down the go , his had been removed, mid he refused to disclose where they were. His HoNoun said that the bankrupt would never get c4rtificate unless the property was given up, and he would grant a search warrant for any place where it was suspected the goods were. ORSRI P - STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Fanny IN , oble, a bomewhat genteel lookhig nymph of he pave, was charged with stealing two sovereigns from the person of a gentleman named Thomas White, of No. 8, Paradise-row, Bethnal-green. Mr. Wrote, who said be possessed an independency, deposed that he was last evening procet ding along the iv( et near the monum-nt, when he met the prisoner, .vho, accosting him, said that she had not tasted food wring that nay. He gave her some money to procure .ebst sbe so much needed, and he afterwards invited tier a tavern. Subsequently, they repaired to a house lt O. fame in Shoreditch, where they retired to bed. Ile, however. was awoke at about three o'clock this morning ;)y a noise in the room, when he observed the prisoner 4 ending by the side of the bed, and his purse, which had been previously in his trowsers pocket, lying upon the seat of the chair, deprived somewhat of its " fair proportions;" in fact, two or three sovereigns had been :bstracted. Sarah Wheeler, servant at the above house, stated :hat she was awakened at about three o'clock this morn. ng by her mistress, who told' her that some one- Wat, .nileaVOUring to leave the house. She got up and found :he prisoner trying to force the lock of the street-door. She was ultimately given in charge to a police constable. Police -constable Bricknall, 169 G, deposed to his iiaving taken the prisoner into custody. Acting-..Tnspector Tate said that when the prisoner arrived at t h e station-house, she declai ed most solemnly :hat a halfpenny was all she had in the world, but upon tis telling her that she would undergo a strict examina :ton by the female searcher, she acknowledged that she 'iad two sovereigns concealed in her stays. The prisoner, in answer to a question from Mr. Combo (who sat for Mr. Broughton) said—" Sure she 'lad brought the sovereigns from Ireland, why should she tell the jointleman' what she had got." The prisoner was fully committed for trial. The prosecutor signed the depositions with the greatest reluctance, and did so only when he was told 4 Mr. Paine, the chief clerk, that if he did not, he must find security for his appearance at the sessions. T HAMES.—(THIS DAY.) John Sullivan, a dock labourer, was charged with th. o.)llo..ving murderous and unprovoked assault on auothe' labourer, named William Hazeltie. The prosecutor, who present. d a most frightful ap- pearance, hii face being literally covered with blood. stated that this morning he was standing with several other labourers at the entrance of the West India Dock, waiting to be engaged, when the prisoner suddenly jumped on his shoulders. Witness desired him to desist, when he struck him a violent blow over the eye, and followed it up by several others. Witness was quite blinded by he blood that flo%ed, and was compelled to .all out " M ur d er. " The prisoner then tried to effect his escape, an d put on three different hats i n or d er to avoid deteeti nn . b ut h e was ultimately given into castody. This evidence was corroborated by two men, named Slater and Burt on , w h o witnessed the assau l t . Valentine Friend, a deck othu.:r, said he was on duty this morning by the bridge, when he heard a great row Auld truce of " Heats killed a dap." On Procse#3s to the spot he found Hazeltie covered with blood, and the prim ner was pointed out as the ttt..gressor. Witness itnine , intfly for k him into cuNtidy. BALLVVTINE.

" Sir,—l write to inform you that at the hour of 2.50, P.M., 4 most tart 16c tornado took place hare, the most violent that I over witnessed in any part of the world. The first commencement was a dark cloud in the N.W. quarter, accompanied with flashes of vivid lightning at short intervals. Vresently the cloud increased in magnitude and blackness, and spread to the north and west. The direction of tne wind at the time of its greatest violence was N. W. The wind was accompanied by very heavy rain At 3.15 it raged with great fury, blowing the vessels' stowed sails off the yards. and drove all the ships on shore, where they received a deal of damage from collision with each other. Neither chains nor warps could withstand the violence of the squalls. Five tbreign vessels capsized against the banks of the river. The brig Mary Ann, of Suneerland, drove foul of the Galway Packet, and caused some damage forward. The schooner Orion drove foul of the Rutsian man•of-war and carried away her yards. Theachuoner Olivia lost bowsprit, &c., by a large Greek brig running foul of her. Four or six of the iliotwrs were sunk; several hou.es unroofed, boats, bul warks. spars, &c. There are two vessels on shore outside the bar—one an English schooner, which lies high and dry."

Mr. Henry Meeson has opened very commodious and elegant rooms at George, street,. Ilanover-Nuare, tor the exhibition of works of art, where he has recently favoured us with a private view of three very interest ing paintings. The first is a large gall: ry picture by Sir G. Hayter, " The Christening of the Pewee of Wales." This is in the artist's best style, and for the truthfulness of delineation the portraits aro unrivalled ; we wet e par icu:arly struck with the fine likEn,ss of her Majesty, who forms the centre of a group—the you t h fui and queenly matron, surrounded by the nohi hty and clergy of the British Isles. The a: chitectural part of the picture, comprising the interior of S , . iieorge's Chapel at Windsor, is finely drawn, and as a whole, it bears an hi-tone character, the value of which time will materially increase. There is a great contrast between this gorgeous dis play of purple and gold, and the touching expression of ;he "„Dawn of Love," the name given to an exquisite nunceaux by the young, but highly talented artist. Mr. Thomas Brooks. Nothing can exceed the air of chastened, yet delighted, :consciousness which the face of the sweet girl in the foregroand discloses; while he, who looks to find "Responsive glances in her smiling eves," is equally interesting; there is an archi,ess, and yet a depth of feeling, in those same eyes which is t grittily an excuse and an incentive to his intense and absorbing admiration. This is ene of those meritorious end suc cessful effors that exalt the scenes of humble lite to a more h 'Rowed and poetic region than the finest classic can ever occupy in this couirry. The landscape, too, is in excellent keeping with the figures of the youthful lovers, the distant hills fade gently away into the clear blue sky, while the foreground discloses one of these quiet nooks "Where innocence, alone with love, May dream of years of bliss and calm repose." The very dog, crouched at his master's tact, teems wait, fo the denouement, as if p.-II bound by the Blessed stillne-s of that witching hour." Mr. Meeson hai an excillent engraving of this charm ing picture, executed in the very spirit of the on by Mr. W. H. Simmons, and we may safely pr.dict an ex tensive popularity for this beautiful pastoral. We have space for but a brief notice•of " Goodall's Soldier's Dream," the very beau ideal of Campbell's affecting ballad of that name. The figure of the weary soldier is conceived in the highest style of art, and the romance of breathing love, "Suspended in mid air," tells a story that rill be responded to by every hear acquainted wqh Scottish country life. How truthful an rile lines the poet has put into the mouth of the tires warrior as he rests on his hard couch in the bivouac— " I flew to the pleasant fields, traversed so oft, In life's morning march, when my bosom was young; I heard my own mountain goats bleating aloft, And knew the sweet strain that the corn--reapers sung." Ah ! there are many in this herd-working world who like the poor soldkr, dream of such things Kith delight— " These visions of our early days—too bright and pure to last.' ('he handling in this picture is very superior ; the Celia :haracter of the visit n, dram n by mimic fancy, in th. rem is pourtrayed by the painter with such p.twer that you are at o ce pre<ented with the reality of home am all its ea& arnients. We consider the " Hanover Gal leries" will prove an advantageous twin for artists ant, otinnoisseurs ; and we com.„tra.tulate Mr. Meeson on tie éclat with ►►hick his rooms will be thrown open to the COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
