September. This truly interesting periodical has arrired some what late. It contents will be found as attractive and varied as ever. The " Review of Eastern News" is a careful and impartial synopsis. In the notice of the "Modern Hindu Stage" we find many amusing speci mens of the oriental drama. " The Analyses of East ern Works" are copious and faithful. "The Moon light Old Man" is an amusing abstract of a Chinese fiction. The account of "Goa" is a paper of great historical interest. The article headed " China" em bracts some very striking and original extracts from recent publications. The " Battle of Seetabuldee" is a spirited relation. "The Romance of Autar" fur nishes some novel particulars. The "New Fact re garding Maliornet" affords an additional proof of the acquaintance of the impostor with the scriptures. The miscellaneous intelligence includes an immense mass of useful and important information respecting India, China, Persia, Ceylon, Burmah, Mauritius, Austral asia, New Zealand, Sandwich Islands, Circopia, Syria, Cape of Good Hope, &c. &c. Guide through Ireland, descriptive of its Scenery, Towns, Seats, Antiquities, Oc. By James Fraser. Dublin : W. Curry, Jun., and Co. The publishers of this truly national work de serve the highest praise for their enterprise in prepar• ing this admirable guide, which, we have no doubt, will become an indispensable companion to every tour ist that may visit the sister island. The greatest care seems to have been bestowed upon this excellent pub lication, in order to secure accuracy in all its details. The publishers must have incurred a very considera ble expenditure in preparing and collating the mate rials for this volume. The statistical tables which it contains are extremely valuable. The outline of the mineral structure of Ireland, and the brief.view of its botany, which are also incorporated in the work, can not fail to interest the geologist and the student of natural history. The plates and maps by which it is illustrated are numerous and well-executed. The whole arrangement of the contents reflects the highest credit upon the compiler. We earnestly recommend the work to the notice of all whom pleasure or busi ness may lead to travel through the beautiful scenery of Ireland. NOBILITY SPRUNG FROM HONEST TRADE, In Pennaxt's History of London, page 397, he gives a curi ous list of some of our principal noble families, who owe their origin to honest trade, in the following words, viz.:—" I beg leave here to remind several noble peels of their industrious forefathers." John Coventry was an opulent mercer of the city of Lon don, and mayor in 1425, a most spirited magistrate. From his loins is descended the Earl of Coventry. The family of Rich, Earls of Warwick and Holland, arose from Richard Rich, an opulent mercer, sheriff in 1441. The Holies's, Earls of Clare and Dukes of Newcastle, sprung from Sir William Holies, mayor in 1540, son of William Holies, citizen and baker. Sir Thomas Leigh, mayor in 1558, furnished the peerage with the addition of two, viz. Leigh, Earl of Chichester, and Leigh, Lord Leigh. of Stoneley. The Bouveries, Earls of Radnor, descend from Edward des Bouverie, an opulent Turkey merchant; died in 1694. Lord DUcie was descended from Sir Robert Uncle, sheriff in 1620, 'mayor in 1631 ; banker to Charles I. and afterwards created a baronet. Paul Bayning, sheriff in 1593, was father of Paul, created Viscount Bayning. The Cranfields, Earls of Middlesex, rose from Lionel Cranfield, a citizen, bred up in the custom-house. The Duke of Dorset is descended from Frances Cranfield, heiress of the third Earl. The noble family of Ingram, Viscount Irwin (now repre sented by the Marchioness of Hertford), were raised in the reign of Elizabeth, by Hugh Ingram, citizen, merchant, and tallow-chandler. Sir Stephen Brown, mayor in 1438, was a grocer, and gave. us another peer in the person of Sir Anthony Brown, created Viscount Montague, in 1554. The ancestor of the Le es, Earls of Dartmouth, was mayor of London in 1347, and in 1357, having, in his trade of a skin tier attained great wealth. Sir Geoffry Bullen, mayor in 1458, was grandfather to Thomas Bullen, Earl of Wiltshire, father of Anna Bullen, and grandfather to Queen Elizabeth; the highest genealo gical honour the city ever possessed. Sir Baptist Hicks, a mercer, founded the peerage of Campdeu. Sir William Capel, draper, mayor in 1503, founded the noble family of Capel, now Earls of Essex. Edward Osborne, mayor in 1583, was ancestor of the Dukes of Leeds. Michael Dormer, mercer, mayor in 1542, produced the future Lords Dormer. From Sir William Craven, merchant tailor, mayor in 1611, sprung the Earls of Craven. Lord Viscount Dudley and Ward is descended from Wm. Ward, a'wealthy goldsmith in London, and jeweller to the Queen of Charles I. STUPENDOUS CABBAGE.-Mr.M organ, ofthe King's Arms, Merthyr, on Wednesday morning last, cut a cabbage of a few weeks growth, which measured in circumference very nearly two and a half yards; and weighed no less than twenty one and a quarter pounds. There is no doubt it would have reached a much larger growth, had Al r.Morgan allowed it a little more time; but having had his garden robbed lately he was afraid to trust such a prize any longer to the cupidity of rogueish cabbage-eaters. Itis tope hoped that no knight of the thimble is involved in this latter charge.—Merthyr Guardian. - - DONS!—A man, in the dress of a workman, was lately walking in the streets of Berlin, with a packet in his hand, sealed with five seals, and inscribed with an address, and a noto that it contained 100 thalers in treasury bills. As the bearer appeared to be at a loss, he was accosted by a passen ger, who asked him whom he was looking for. The simple countryman placed the packet in the inquirer's hands, and re quested he would read the address. The reply was made as if with an agreeable surprise, "Why ! this letter is for me. 1 have been expecting it a iong while!" The messenger upon this demanded 10 thalers for the carriage of the packet, which was readily paid, with a liberal addition to the porter. The new possessor of the packet, hastened to an obscure cor ner to examine his prize; hut, on breaking the seals, found nothing but a few sheets of blank paper, on which was writ ten—" Done!" FURIOUS ATTACK ON MR. AMBURGH, OF ASTLEY'S, BY A TlGER.—Since Wednesday last, the principal topic of con versation in the theatrical world has been the furious attack made on Mr. Van Amburgh, whose exhibition at Astley's Royal Amphitheatre, of lions, tigers, leopards, and other ani mals in the forest, in the grand zoological spectacle entitled the Lion Conqueror if Pompeii, has excited within these few days past so much public attention. Van Amburgh has been styled by the phi/o/oeos of the above equestrian establishment as the brute tamer, and certainly the appellation is well ap plied, as the following daring feat will prove,—for never was the courage or the presence of mind of man put to a severer test. It appears that on Wednesday last, a rehearsal was g oing on in the circus of the theatre, when Mr. Van Amburgh wishing one of his tigers to perform a certain feat, which the animal was utterly unable or unwilling to accomplish, had recourse to severe corporal punishment, which chastisement he inflicted with a large horsewhip. Smarting under the pain of the lash, the animal became incensed, and suddenly sprang upon Mr. Van Amburgh, who instantly was hurled with violence to the ground, from the strength and weight of his incensed assailant. Mr. Van Amburgh, who is of Hercu lean caste, and possessing extraordinary muscular power, instantly perceived the intention of the animal, which was that of tearing him to pieces, and, with the courage and pre sence of mind which few men possess, seized his foe by the lip of the lower jaw, and thus pinioned him as a bull-dog would an ox at a bait. A long and fearful struggle now en sued, in the course of which both the man and tiger rolled over several times. At length Mr. Van Amburgh got the better of his foe by throwing him on his back, at. the same hand, which kneeling on his stomach, an d, with his other which was till now nnengag,ed, commenced striking the pros trate animal with his.cleuched fist, the blows falling in quick succession over the head, face, and particularly the nose, until the blood flowed from the subdued animal, who here quivered under the grasp of his conqueror. At leng th Mr. Van Amburgh, perceiving that he had completely overcome him, released his hold; and the animal, finding himself at liberty, retired a short distance from his master, and crouched down as if severely suffering from the punishment he had received. It may here be proper to mention, that the per formers (so we understood) did not pay any attention to the struggle, considering that it was merely a rehearsal of the part to be played in the evening, until they saw him adminis tering the severe chastisement, as before described, to the enraged animal, and its efforts to compel Mr. Van Amburgh to release his hold. This encounter did not at all impede the eatertaiments of the evening.—John Bull. WHIG-RADICAL CORRUPTION. [FROM BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.] (Concluded from our last.) The patronage of a Ministry consists not, however, princi pally in places, however important—for honours, peerages, promotions, and ribands remain to be noticed. The Whigs are very fond of charging upon Mr. Pitt and his party the heinous offence of having so increased the peerage between 1780 and 1823, that it was augmented in that time from 225 to 378 persons. Lord John Russell, in the essay from which we have quoted our motto, makes a great point of this matter. Now, we admit 150 peers is a large number to have been created iu 40 years; but at the same time, it is but fair to add, that the period to, which we allude, though compara tively short, was the era during which this country made greater strides than she had ever accomplished before, and during which the opulence and grandeur rose to au unexam pled pitch. Three hundred and seventy-eight peers, in 1823, bore a less proportion to the number of influential proprietors in the country, than 235 did in 1789. Moreover, it must be remembered, when Lord John Russell brings forward this charge, that several of these new peerages were Whig cre ations, prior to 1784, when Mr. Pitt came into office, and, in 1806, when all the talents reigned; and also, secondly, of the number of elevations during the glorious 40 years, a very large number were made for public services, without any, the slightest reference to political opinions. Such was the case with the peerages of Nelson, Collingwood, St. Vin cent, Duncan, Wellington, Comberrnere, Lynedoch, Aber cromby, Beresford, Hill, Hutchinson, Rodney, Hood, Keith, Gardner, Gambier, Exmouth. and many more. Taking these circumstances into account, it will be found that, during the sway of the Tories, from 1784 till the time the Whigs came in separately in 1800, the number of peerages made, with a view to political purposes, was singularly small and limited. What, then, shall be said of the Whig-Radicals, who, after deploring the increase of 150 peers in 40 years, although scarcely 50 were elevated for mere Parliamentary purposes, have not allowed eight years, since 1830, to pass without creating upwards of 60 new peerages for th - eir par tisans? On looking over a list of the Whigs in the House of Lords, who do not altogether number more than 140 (minors included), we find the following connected with the administration, or bound to it by important obligations. We beg our readers to notice that these are exclusive of peers who have relatives in the ministry, as the Dukes of Bedford and Norfolk, the Marquis of Anglesea, Lords Roseberry, Seaford, Besborough, and Carlisle; and to remember also the vast influence of many of the noblemen whom we shall mention.- 2 an influence, in the lower house, far more impor ant and more destructive of the independence of parliament, Iran their own votes in the House of Linde.- PLACEMEN. Earl of Albemarle, Master of the Horse. Duke of Argyll, Lord Steward. Lord Auckland, Governor of India. Lord Byron, Lord in Waiting.* Marquis of Conyngham, Lord Chamberlain. Lord Cottenbam, Lord Chancellor. Earl of Durham, Dictator of Canada. Earl of Errol, Master of the Buckhounds. Lord Erskine, Ambassador to Saxony. Lord Falkland, Lord in Waiting. Lord Foley, Captain of Gentlemen-at-Arms. Lord Gardner, Lord in Waiting. Earl Granville, Ambassador to France. Marquis of Headfort, Lord in Waiting. Lord Holland, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. Lord Howard de Walden, Ambassador to Lisbon. Earl of Ilchester, Captain of Gentlemen Pensioners. Marquis of Lansdowne, President of the Council. Duke of Leinster, Chief Commissioner of Irish Education Earl of Lichfield, Postmaster-General. Viscount Duncannon, Lord Privy Seal. Viscount Melbourne, First Lord of the Admiralty. Earl of Minto, First Lord of the Admiralty. Marquis of Normanby, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. Lord Plunket, Lord Chancellor of Ireland. Lord Ponsonby, Ambassador to Turkey. Viscount Torrington, Lord in Waiting. Marquis of Winchester, Groom of the Stole. The 50 members we mentioned in the House of Commons as being placemen, only divided among them about £120,000 a-year; but here are no more than 28 " pure old Whigs," who receive the small sum annually of £lBO,OOO ! Who will doubt the zeal of these noble lords in favour of the existing government ? In addition to these 28 persons, the following members of the right rev. bench in England have to thank the whigs for their elevation. The Bishops Durham, Chi chester, Salisbury, Hereford, Norwich, Lichfield, Ripon, and Ely. These also can have no great hostility in the Mel bourne government. Here, therefore, are 36 whig-enlight ened liberals accounted for; the subjoined lists will go far to make up the sum total of whig-radicalism in the House of Lords. Whig-Radicals who have received promotion in the Pew age since 1830 : Marquis of Ailsa. Earl of Durham. Marquis of Breadalbane. Earl of Effingham. Earl of Camperdown. Earl of Lovelace. Duke of Cleveland. Earl of Litchfielckt Earl of Ducie. Duke of Sutherland. Earl Granville. Marquis of Westminster. Earl of Zetland. Earl of Yarborough. Whig-Radicals who have been elevated to the British Peer. age by the Whigs. Some of these had Irish Peerages be 'ore:— Lord Bateman. Lord Lismore. Lord Belhaven. Earl of Leicester. Lord Brougham. Earl of Leitrim. Earl Bruce. Lord Lovat. Earl of Darlington. Earl of Ludlow. Lord Carew. Earl of Meath. Earl of Charlemont. Lord Methven. Lord Cloncurry. Lord Mostyu. Lord Cottenham. Lord Panniure. Lord de Manley. Lord Poltinaore Lord Denman. Lord Portman. Lord Dinorben. Earl of Ranfurley. Lord Duncannon. Marquis of Queensberry. Lord Falkland. Lord Rossmore. Earl of Fingal. Duke of Roxburghe. Lord Glenelg. Earl of Sefton. Lord Godolphin. Lord Segrave. Earl of Gosford. Lord Strafford. Lord Hatherton. Lord Sudeley. Marquis of Headfort. Earl of Uxbridge. Lord Howden. Marquis of Tavistock. Earl of Kintore. Lord Western. Lord Kinnaird. Lord Wrottesley. Lord Langdale. Lord Vane. To these we might add the Duke of Leeds, Earl Cadogan and the Earl of Derby, who were elevated to the Peerage previously to their accession to their present dignities; and when to these we add also the Papist Peers in Parliament, who are indeed the natural allies of the present Ministry, and the minors, there remain very few Whig Noblemen who can be considered independent to their support of Lord Mel bourne's cabinet. Still fewer are those giving a zealous or constant support to it who can be considered unfettered. Some may allow the Premier the sanction of their names and do no more • others may remain neutral, and hesitate to declare for the ot her side; but we repeat few, very few, are those who are at once zealous and independent. We will illustrate this fact by one instance of recent occurrence. On the 3d of Au gust, the House of Lords divided on Lord Fitzgerald's amend ment to the Irish Tithe Bill. The number of Conservatives was 78, of Whigs 37, and there paired off in favour of the mi nority 17 ; making a total of 54 in favour of the Melbourne Ministry. The following is the list of them,: those who are not placemen, and have not received their Peerages from the Whigs we print in capitals. There remain only nine inde pendent men ; and even of these the Dukes of Somerset and Norfolk, and the Earl of Carlisle, have their sons in the Mi nistry, and thereby are bound indirectly to assist it, and are nterested in its preservation.

Here, then, are 54 noblemen voting on an important ques tion, and only nine of them are not dependent for favours or place; only six even of that number being completely free! How earnestly desirous these Whigs have proved themselves not to swamp or degrade the Peerage ! How chary of using the influence of the Crown!" They have only made 60 Peers in eight years; they have only pitchforked that mode rate number to swell their miserable minority. We question much if without those 60 men in buckram, their largest mino rity, on the most important divisions in the upper house would be 40; and we own, when we consider the vast machi nery and means of corruption now in use, and in unscrupulous hands, we think the House of Lords has high title to credit; seeing that despite all temptation to tergiversation and to submission to the Whigs, the independent unpaid conserva tive majority, so far from dwindling away, is increasing year by year. Whatever may be done in the House of Commons, by baronetcies, ribands, commissions, peerages, exorbitant estimates, domestic or colonial jobs, and augmented patron age, we cannot but rejoice, then, that we have yet a bulwark, and a remnant of an independent Parliament; and therefore, though a minister like Lord Melbourne may be enabled to realize Lord John Russell's portrait, and compel the so vereign to retain him by holding in terrorem the threat of a factious majority in the House of Commons, ready one year to sanction, and the next to abandon, an appropriation clause, there is at present no prospect of the same threat being em ployed with reference to any man's power in the House of Lords. But that this prospect continues to us, is no fault of Lord Melbourne's, and is no oversight of the whit , - party. Both have done their best to extend corruption into the Upper House, but hitherto they have signally failed. It only re mains for the people of the country to counteract the insidi ous and more successful attacks on the independence of the House of Commons, by watching narrowly every job; by rejecting every perpetrator at the poll ; and by adding con tempt to rejection in the case of every member who has sold his vote for a baronetcy, or his silence fora brother's promo tion. Such men there may be, even in the reformed Parlia ment; such men there must be, for we can never believe that independent or honest men would go down night after night to the House of Commons to cheer a demagogue like O'Connell, or to suppport a ministry that temps the scorn of Europe. We can believe this of none but the venal, and, therefore, when we discover whig,-radical corruption, we easily account for its ne cessity. while we heartily despise the ministers who will stoop to hold Office on such mean and trembling grounds, th'at nothing but venality can uphold, and none but the selfish defend them, Still more heartily do we despise these puppets of statesmen when we find them, with an hypocrisy only equal to their avarice, pretend to a superiority of public virtue, and keep more honourable men than themselves out of office, under the fraud u l en t pretext t h at i n so d o i ng they are saving the country from unprincipled and corrupt rulers. Like Judas, they keep the bag, and they keep it. for themselves. And these, forsooth, are the tutu who prated about "the influence of the crown," who deplored the increase of the peerage, and who bragged that they would carry on the government on Pure principles, without patronage! These, too, are the liberals, the men of pu r ity an d economy, the reformers of abuses, the opponents of corrupti on , p ecu lation! and intrigue ! • In bewailing the influence of the Crown, Lord John Russell b Russell mo urns the sad fate of a Lord of the Bedchamber, dismissed the Ministry, in 1822., for his vote on the malt tax. What will he sa having been a member of t he Cab i ne ts that dismissed Lord Howe Howe from his office of Chamberlain to the Queen, and Lord Charles Fitzroy from his place of Treasurer of the Household, for no greater offence ? It i doe be regretted that his Lordship ever be came an author ;he has damage to no one but his publisher and himself. + One or two Peers are mentioned twice, first as placemen, and afterwards as having received promotions in the Peerage, or eleva tion to it. But this is merely done for convenience sake, and only shows that there are some held by a double bod—both of interest and gratitude. They have descended gradually downwards till they can exist only by purchasing the smiles of a mendicant at the expense of the patronage of Ireland, and by widening the circle of ministerial influence through every artifice the most corrupt minister of ancient days invented or employed. To this have they come at last, with all their fine professions, their essays on English government, their articles in the Edin burgh Review, their motions on the influence of the crown, aud their calculations of the extent of patronage fresh in the recollection of the people they have deluded. Yet what care they fur the memory of the past or tle. shame of the present hour, so long as they can cling to places and pocket pay? They have deluded the nation, but even more to that nation's than their own. What excuse has any man for allowing himself to be duped by a Palmerston, taken in by a Mel bourne, or entrapped by a Glenelg ? But then, perhaps we may hear some whig, blinded to all -sense by p arty spirit, and ignorant of all necessary informa tion, put in here a claim for mitigation of censure, by assert ing that if hundreds of offices have been created (as no one will ever deny) many have been abolished. It is sometimes the pleasure of whig journals to prate boldly about reductions and retrenchments and so forth. Now we are quite content to take the issue on this point, and to inquire into these boasted and patriotic proceedings. We hear of reductions made by the whits. We ask, what have they reduced? The yeomanry, of which they had not the patronage. But what have they increased? The army, the navy, the legal situa tions, the commissions, and. some of the public offices of which they have the control; and, not content with this, they have made new modes of employing partisans, as we have before described, in every part of the country. We heal• of retrenchments. We ask, what have they retrenched? Cer tainly not the public expenditure; perhaps their own duties. Of the expenditure it is only needful to say that for the year 1838 it will be nearly £53,000.000; just about 1.3,000,000 more than the year 1835. We have no hesitation whatever in declaring that the expense of carrying on the government at this present moment, independently, of course, of the charge fur interest on the national debt, is considerably more than in 1832, when a motion was brought forward im peaching the Liverpool administration. Lord Londonderry then stated that expense to be £18,000,000 per annum; sum less than is at present yearly devoted to our establish. ments. If the whies have neglected to retrench this'enor mous charge they have failed not from want of good examples. illr. Pitt abolished 416 places, with salaries of £265,748, and all these unconnected with the collection of the revenue, while he created only 197, with salaries of £77,000.* In the revenue department, though compelled to increase taxation with the progress of the war, and so to extend also the num bir of places in the excise and the customs, he yet, with a rigid hand, curtailed every unnecessary expense, and abolish ed in the -salt department alone 500 places. How dues it happen that the reforming ministers we are now blessed with have not attempted to do likewise? Lord John Russell enu merates, under the following several hands, the various means of exerting crown influence. t 1. The Collection of the Revenue. 2. The Civil List and the Subordinate Offices of Civi Government. 3. The Colonies. 4. The Army, Navy, Ordnance, &c. 5. The Law. • 6. The Church. 7. The influence of Honours. MI these things still exist, and are still used by the govern ment for their political and party purposes. If they afforded such ground for jealousy and suspicion in 1822, how does it happen that now, when each several department is increased in its operation on the independence of Parliament, when there are more placemen than ever, that we hear no murmur from the Constitutional Whigs, and catch Ito whisper of regret or anxiety ! How does it happen that we find in the Navy List the names of young persons in command of vessels who are notorious for nothing but relationship to Whig partisans? Among the most recent pramotions we find the Hon. Henry Keppell, Edward Stanley, the Hon. Joseph Denman, the Hon. Byron Cary, the Hon. Frederick Pelham, the Hon. Dudley Pelham, Thomas Eden, Adam Camperdown Duncan, Granville Lock, William Henry Quin, Robert Otway, Lord Francis Russell, George Elliot, Lord Henry Russell, the Hon. Edward Howard, the Hon. George Plunkett, Edward Troubridge, the Hon. Chas. Elliot, the Hon. Admiral Elliot, and very many more Twydsons, D'Eyncourts, Pagets, Beau clerks, Carnacs, Codringtons, Greys, &c., whose names alone sufficiently and satisfactorily account for the display of Mi nisterial interest in their welfare. On glancing at the list of flag-officers employed, we find only 12, and of that small number the following approved Wbigs : Lord Amelius Beauclerk, uncle of the Duke of St. Alban's. Sir Robert Otway, uncle of the member for Tippetary. Sir Charles•Paget, brother of Lord Anglesea. Sir John Ommany, the defeated Whig candidate for Hamp shire. Hon. George Elliot, brother of Lord Minto. Hon. D. Bouverie, brother of the Earl of Radnor. - - Among the commanders of the ships in commissson, are a few equally distinguished by Whig names, and favoured by Whig connexions. We merely select a few of the most glaring experiments : Britannia, 120 guns, Captain Dundas Britomart, 10 guns, Lieutenant Owen Stanley Champion, 18 guns, Commander G. King. Charybdis, 3 guns, Hon. Robert Gore. Cleopatra, 26 guns. Hon. George Grey. Columbine, 16 gnus, George Elliot. Comus, 18 guns, Hon. P. P. Cary. Conway, 28 guns, Captain Bethune. Griffon, 3 guns, Lieutenant D'Urban. Harlequin, 16 guns, Commander Lord F. Russell Hastings, 74 guns, Captain Loch. Howe, 120 guns, Captain Paget. Lynx, 3 guns, Lieutenant Broadhead. Magicienne, 24 guns, Captain G. St. John Mildmay. Pearl, 20 guns, Lord Clarence Paget. Rodney, 92 guns, Captain Hyde Parker. • Rover, 18 guns, Commander Eden. Royal Adelaide, 104 guns, Sir William Elliot. Royalist, 10 guns, Hon. E. Plunkett. Russell, 74 guns, Sir William Dillon. San Joseph, 110 guns, Charles Seale. Scylla, 16 guns, Hon. Joseph Denman. Talbot, 29 guns, Captain Codrington. Tweed, 20 guns, Hon. F. Pelham. Wasp, 16 guns, Hon. 1). Pelham. Wolf, 10 guns, Edward Stanley. Wolverine ; 16 guns, Hon. E. Howard. The promotion of most of these fortunate and libera gentlemen has been singularly rapid, and their employment almost constant and unceasing. The vessels they command form no inconsiderable portion of the whole naval force in commission; and if so, bow few ships remain for the veterans who fought for their country before many of these "honour able?' were born ! Truly, Lord pinto has "reformed" the naval service in a peculiar and effectual manner; he has introduced a degree of patronage and favouritism never attempted before; a system which, if it had been acted on during the war, would have consigned the bulwarks of the nation to inexperienced hands, and probably have ruined not only the service, but the cause it was required to defend. It was not by such a system the unfriended Nelsons, Culling woods, and Rodneys gained the opportunities of fame. But tempora niutantur ; we play at war on the coast of Spain, and it requires no heroes to win bloodless victories. Nelson was not more fitted to conquer at Trafalgar, or Wellington at Waterloo, than any defeated whig candidate is now at Barce lona, or General Evans at Fontarnia and Iron. An attack on a Sardinia schooner, or a grand movement against a few Carlist guerillas, is all that is expected now-a-days from our navy and our legions; it is perfectly right, therefore, that ministers should prove that they consider that any one can execute tasks so mighty and important. We might proceed to examine in detail other departments, but we refrain from doing so. We have mentioned enough to call' attention to the subject of whig-radical corruption, and we trust that another session of Parliament will not be allowed to pass without the extortion from the ministry of a complete list of all the new places created since 1830, the per sons filling them, and the salaries apportioned to each. It will be found by such returns, that under the pretence of ex tending the system of centralization, the amount of govern ment patronage has been augmented snore than in any pre ceding eight years during the whole history of the country. It will be seen that every charge formerly levelled by the Whigs for factious purposes, and with fraudulent professions against their political opponents, applies now with redoubled force to themselves, and strikes them severely with a back handed blow. For instance, it used to be the whi,g practice to select certain families for in viduous notice, and hold them up to public odium, by representing them as fastened on nu merous places, and gorging with ill-gotten gains. But we ask if ever a family thus made the object of vituperation, displayed a nepotism and grasping selfishness equal to the whig families of Grey, Elliot, Adam or Ponsonby ? A list of the Greys in places once went the round of the papers, and even now, though Dr. Grey, Bishop of Hereford, is dead, and Earl Grey and Mr. Edward Ellice have retired from office, makes a tolerable appearance. We may mention as specimens of these patriots, Viscount Howick, Secretary at War ; Hon. Colonel Grey, commanding 71st Regiment; Hon. John Grey, Rector of the rich royal living of Wooler ; Hon. Frederick Grey, Under-Secretary of the War Depart ment; Sir George Grey, Under-Secretary in the Colonial 'Department; Hon. Francis Grey, Rector, with a valuable living; Hon. Harry Grey, Aide de-Camp in Ireland; lion. Sir Henry Grey, General, and Colonel of a regiment in the army; Mr. Charles Wood, (son-in-law of Lord Grey,) Se cretary of the Admiralty; Mr. F. T. Baring, (married a niece of Lord Grey,) Secretary to the Treasury; Earl of Durham, (son-in-law of Lord Grey,) Governor of Canada; Lord Ponsonby, (brother-in-law of Lord Grey,) Ambassador to Constantinople; Mr. E. Ellice, jun., (nephew of Lord Grey,) Secretary of Lord Diirham, &c. NW believe the Elliots make a still better shbw; nor are the owaris, Rus sells, and Abercrombies quite forgotten. The judges they have made, after all their fine promises of rewarding merit, and merit.only, are those on the bench who have had least practice as counsel, and are least learned and efficient as in terpreters of the law; we refer to the Williamses and Colt mans, whoie political principles were their sole ostensible recommendations. In the church they have dispensed their patronage amongst the Bishops in a manner to which we have already alluded, and, not content with this, have sought out as recipients of other favours only anti-church-rate agita tors, such as Dr. Joynes, of Rochester, and Dr. Knox, of Tunbridge, of pamphleteering and political dinner-speaking notoriety. .And then in the colonies they send a Lord Dur ham to Canada, with Messrs. Charles and Arthur Buller, Thomas Turton, Thomas Duncombe, and Edward Gibbon Wakefield; and to New South Wales, Sir Maurice O'Con nell, a fit and proper insttument for carrying out that infidel system of education which is adopted to please the Roman Catholic emigrants, and against which the excellent Bishop Broughton has in vain protested. To India they have sent Lord Elphinstone, the youthful cornet of Life Guards, as governor of the important settlement of Madras; and with exquisite discrimination, while appointing these notable per sonages, have displayed their judgment and discretion, by recalling Sir John Colborne, who saved Lower Canada, Sir Francis Head, who saved the Upper Province, Sir Pere grine Maitland, who will not (scrupulous man!) commit the trifling offence against God of sanctioning idolatry in India, and Sir Benjamin D'Urban from the Cape of Good Hope. With a Lord Glenelg at home, and only such governors abroad as exactly suit his Lordship's purposes and views, and have not more vigour about them than he considers ne cessary, who will say our colonies are not secure, and are not certain to flourish ? With more materials in our possession, a much stronger case than we have here made out, (although this statement is perhaps amply sufficient) might easily be produced against the Whigs. But, in truth, it is not easy to discover all their sinuous windings and all their extended and increasing cor ruption. It would be desirable to be able to ascertain the exact number of Roman catholic chaplains and schoolmasters now paid by the British government in India and the other colonies. The number is not small, nor their influence insignificant The publication, too, of such a return as we have suggested, of all the newly created places, would also be beneficial; but in the absence of the necessary documents from whence information on this subject can be gained, we are left more to generalities and conjectures than we could desire. Still enough remains, and enough we hope has been stated in this paper to prove that the whig party have long been striving to strengthen themselves by the unscrupulous abuse of patronage, and even by the extension of ministerial influence in every possible direction. It is natural to a weak government that it should be tempted to the use of arts a strong one can neglect, and an honest one would despise. And in proportion to the increasing weakness of its position, and the experienced failure of former intrigues, must be the increased temptation to fresh and extended corruption. The Melbourne ministry, then, which hitherto has been tottering in increasing imbecility; which never enjoyed public respect, and, therefore, had no inducement to struggle to retain it; which has found session after session end in greater weakness, trick after trick issue in new disappointment, must now in its decline and approaching fall, in its distress rising to despair, be peculiarly tempted to preserve its contemptinle existence by bartering places for votes, and honours for neutrality or * Rose on the influence of the crown. t Lord John Russell on English Government, p. 40 submission. It is highly to the honour of the age, that this wretched and unscrupulous ministry, notwithstanding all its false professions and misused patronage, is now sinking lower and lower in influence, and is dependent for its permitted power on the condescension or contempt of its opponents. The fact proves that we are sound in core, though many may have been converted by corruption. Peerages may have been thrown away, but still the county members are more and more, year after year, against the ministry • baronetcies, places, and favours are lavishly offered, but the petty majority in the House of Commons is fast dwindling away at each successive casual election. We feel convinced that nothing remains to do but for the conservatives to continue firm and united, ex posing not only the imbecility, but also the frauds of, the Cabinet. It will then be known, through the length and breadth of the land, that these pseudo-patriots who have pro mised so much and performed so little, have gained power only to abuse it, and have held itlong only to deprive the country of the services of honest men and able statesmen. SECOND EDITION. Standard Office, Three o' Clock. LIVERPOOL MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14. About 7400 qrs. of Wheat and 1500 barrels of Flour have arrived here since Tuesday : the bulk of the former and the whole of the latter, which are foreign, have been received partly from London in bond; but of English and Irish pro duce altogether, the supplies, waiting more ample deliveries from the growers, are extremely small for to-day:— notwithstanding which, in the course of Wednesday and yesterday, several parcels of wheat were forced off on lower terms. This morning, however, in the face of uniformly fine weather during the week, and the rapid progress the harvest is now making in this neighbourhood, together with the release of the large stock of Foreign Wheat at the lowest duty of Is. per quarter, the millers and dealers bought rather freely, and the rates of Tuesday were fully regained.—A parcel or two of good Irish new Wheat were sold to-day at 9s. 4d. per 701b5.; but in damp samples there was no im provement, Foreign Wheats commanding a preference with the dealers, and taking the lead of all other articles. Flour moved off sparingly without any change in prices. In the trade for Oats and Oatmeal a little better feeling was apparent, and though the transactions were not exten sive, a small amendment for each was partially obtained. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Peas upon a very limited de mand, remained Itatiunary in value. PA RKGATE REGATTA. This rich aquatic treat took place on Monday last.—The day proved beautifully fine, and during the forenoon crowds of persons poured into Parkgate from Chester, Liverpool, and various parts of the country. At twenty minutes past two, in consequence of their being no wind at the time, the four-oared gigs, rowed by gentlemen amateurs, started for the prize of 12 guineas, from a boat moored a little below Mr. Bloor's Stage, coming in at the Committee Boat, moored opposite Mrs. Briscoe's Inn. The distance being about one and a half mile, the boats came in in the following order:— Fairy Queen Chester 1 Isabella Chester 2 Devil Liverpool 3 Rowed in four minutes by the crew of the " Fairy Queen," namely, Messrs. H. Potts, J. L. Bromfield, T. Mulvey, S. J. Dutton (Stroke,) Mr. Henry Thomas, coxswain. At half-past two, a light breeze having sprung up from the westward, the first-class sailing boats, belong►ng to Park gate, started from Mr. Briscoe's stage, up the r►ver, round a boat moored off Woodside-lane, outs►de one moored out in the Colliery Channel, and round one moored below Mr. Bloor's Stage, and home to the Committee Boat. Five boats started, and came in in the followillg order:— " Fox"... ....J. Belson 1 .. £3 0 0 " Harlequin"..Edw. Gi11.... '2 .. 1 0 0 "Vixen" ....Wm. Dennis 3 .. 010 0 "Ariel" C Brown .. 4 .. 0 7 6 About ten minutes after the first-class started, the second class boats got under way ; six in number, and came in in the following order : "Good Intent' " Good Will" "James" "Oak" J. Bushell.. 1 .. £2 0 0 W.Catherall 2 .. 015 0 R. Matthews 3 .. 0 7 6 Wm. Kent 4 .. 0 5 0 It was a beautiful sight when all were under way together. The boats were well. handled and manceuvred.... About half-past three, the boatmen's race with four-oared gigs were started from the Committee Boat, down the river, round the boat moored below Mr. Bloor's, and back. The three started again, and came in as follows: " Fairy Queen" Isabella" " Devil" Beautifully rowed, and in an incredible short time. The next race was that of four-oared boats, roved by women, who were very neatly dressed in white, one crew carrying pink ribbons and rosettes in their caps, and waiv ing thus of the Caine; the other blue. The boats which con tended were— " Withington" Saml. Evans..l pink £2 10 " Sarah" Geo. Brierley..2 blue 1 5 Extremely well rowed, and won only by a length. Then came the last and best race of the day; the beaten boats rowed by gentlemen amateurs, for £5 55., the same course as before, which terminated as follows " Isabella" Chester " Devil" Liverpool Won .by two lengths. This was a well-contested rade. The Devil would have one only she unfortunately filled. All passed off extremely pleasant and peaceably, and every one seemed highly gratified. THE DINNER.—The Reggatta took place at Mr. Williams's the Ship Inn, and too much praise cannot be every thing in season—abundance of gave, dessert, and wines of the choicest qality. About fifty gentlemen sat down to dinner; among whom we observed John Lloyd, Esq., president ; J. Lloyd Jones, Esq., vice-presidence; Thos. Brittain, Esq., George Chamberlain, Esq., T. B. Oliver, Esq., Henry Pootts, jun., Esq., Henry Jones, Esq., Charles Walker, Esq., Charles Wade, Esq , W. Jenkins, Esq., J. Lyon, F:sq., W. Lyon, Esq., Jobert Jones, Esq.. E. W. Lloyd, Esq., C.

Meacock, Mr. W. Boden, Mr. H. Thomas, Mr. J. Maddock, Mr. J. Crane, Mr. H. Hodkinson, Mr. A. Walker, Mr. C. Walker, Mr. J. Cha loner, &c. &c. Messrs. E. Hodkinson, W. Jones, W. Jen kins, and Olixer, treated the company with some excellent glees and songs. The party separated at a late hour, highly delighted, and with a determination on the part of the Chester Rowing Club to make the Parkgate Regattas annual, and on a more liberal and extended scale.

The girls were under ex periment from nine in the morning until ten in the evening, and there did not exist among the spectators two opinions as to the character and causes of the symptoms whish they had manifested. Aiter the girls had departed, Mr. \Vakley de clared, that in his view the effects which were said to arise from what had been denominated "animal magnetism," con stituted one of the completest delusions that the human mind ever entertained. The experiments fully proved the truth of this opinion, and plainly showed that mesmerism is one of the most outrageous instances of quackery and humbug ever sought to be palmed upon the public. A month's exercise on the treadmill would perhaps cure the tools of the magne tizers of again trying to impose on general credulity. ipptng EntclligEnct. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11.

A FEMALE VOCALIST AND DUELIST.—Among the singers of that period, who are mentioned by French writers, there are none whose names are worthy of being preserved on ac count of their talents. One of them, however, La Maupin, the successor of La Rochois, may, be noticed on account of her wild and lawless character, and the strangeness of her adventures.. She was born in 1673, and married at a very early age, but soon ran away with a fencing master, from whom she learned the use of &small sword. After remain ing for some times at Marseilles, where she narrowly escaped the punishment of being burnt alive for setting fire to a con vent, she went to Paris, appeared on the Opera stage at the age of 22, and was for a considerable time the reigning fa vourite of the day. Having on some occasion been affronted by Dumeni, a singer, she . put on male attire, watched for him in the Place de Victim-es, insisted on his drawing his sword and fighting her, and on his refusing, caned him, and took his watch and snuff-box. Next day. Dumeni haviut: boasted in the Opera-house that he had defended himself against three men who had attempted to rob him, she told the whole story, and produced his watch and snuff-box in proof of her having chastised him as a coward. Thevenard, another singer of note, was nearly treated in the same manner, and had no other way of escaping but by publicly begging Iser pardon, after hiding himself in the Palais Royal for three weeks. At a ball given by Monsieur, the brother of Louis XIV., she appeared in men's clothes, and having behaved impertinently to a lady, was called out by three of her friends. Instead of avoiding the combat, by discovering her sex, she drew her sword and killed all the three, and then returned very coolly to the ball-room, told the story to Mon sieur, who obtained her pardon. After some other adven tures, she went to Brussels, where she became mistress of the Elector of Bavaria. This Prince, having quitted her for the Countess of Arcos, sent her by that lady's husband a purse of 40,000 livres, with an order to quit Brussels. But this singular heroine threw the purse at the Count's head, telling bim that it was a recompense worthy of such a contemptible scoundrel as himself. She afterwards returned to the Pa risian stage, which she left in 1705. The conclusion of such a life is not the least extraordinary part of it. She became at last very devout ; and having recalled her husband, from whom she bad been long separated, lived with him in a pious manner till her death, in 1707, at the age of 34. Such is the history of this woman given by Laborde and other writers; and, strange as it is, there seems no reason for doubting its truth.—Memoirs of the Musical Drama, by Ho yarth. PHOSPHORESCENCE OF Tut OCEAN.—About the middle of the month of April, in lat. 8. 45. north, and long. 21, 02. west, during the day, large quantities of a beautiful pink medusa (a species of jelly fish) were taken in the towing net, and at night the ocean was brilliantly illuminated, which luminosity continued until about eight p.m. after which time it had almost totally disappeared. During the time the phosphoresence was visible, the medusa before mentioned was captured in large numbers; but on the disappearance of of the luminosity, no more were caught, evidently showing that the phosphorescence of the sea was occasioned,by their presence. When the ocean appeared brilliantly luminous, besides the animals producing the phosphoresence, several crustaceous animals and a number of small fish were usually taken in large quantities. The presence of these may pro ceed from their being attracted by the phosphoric light. Sometimes, during heavy rains within the tropics, the sea would become sufficiently luminous, as rapidly passing off again, and the effect of the sudden transition was exceeding ly splendid to the beholders. During its continuance, lumi nous species of Salpa Besot Pyrosoma, and other molluscs, were captured in the towing. On placing some of these lu minous medusa in a bucket of water, the phosphoric light was not emitted from any one particular part of the animal, but commenced at different points. Upon squeezing the animal, the hands became covered with a profusion of the luminous secretion, which could be communicated from one object to another.—Bennett's Voyagefrom England to Sydney.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 11. At the close of our circular on Tuesday last, we stated we had then fine weather, with an appearance of its so continuing ; but on Wednesday morning we had a recurrence of heavy rain, succeeded by a sultry forenoon with little sunshine,—the same on Thursday, —and Friday was a very bad day in every respect; we had in con sequence at our market that day a much better demand for Wheat, Oats and Oatmeal at a small imorovement on the recent decline, particularly for fine fresh sweet eoreign Wheat, which may now be considered free ;—since that day there has been very little rain in the nights, and it has been fair in the day time, but exceedingly cold, more so by eight or ten degrees than in the early part of the• past week, and although this has checked the tendency to sprouting, and may be useful to the grain cut and in stooks, it cannot he fa vourable for bringing to natural and proper maturity a very consi derable portion of Grain—particularly of Wheat, still green and far from ripeness throughout this district and to the northward; in the Corn markets of London, Yorkshire, and Manchester of the past week, there was no activity, and little alteration in prices ; the ac counts of the progress of harvest in the south of England, and throughout Ireland, are favourable, and they are much more for ward than we are. The arrivals of Grain, Flour and Oatmeal from Ireland and Coastways have been very small; V.vo•thirds of the Wheat Coastways in the last, and present import note, are Foreign in bond from London, and the imports direct from Foreign Ports are increasing weekly The duty on Wheat from .Foreign Ports is this week, as antici pated reduced 4s per quarter, on Flour 2s 3d per barrel, and on Rye Is 6d per quarter, on other Grain no alteration ; on Friday next, the 14th instant, the duty on Wheat will almost to a certainty be further reduced is 8d per quarter. when the lowest duties of Is per quarter on Wheat, and 7d per barrel on Flour will be payable, and all Wheat and Flour in the United Kingdom will be released for borne use ; a weekly return of 69s 2d, with the fractions, will ac complish this ; and it must fall below 63s 3d to prevent the duty from continuing at 2s 8d ; therefore very little Wheat or Flour will be released until Friday, excepting what may behave sold to millers whose stocks are totally exhausted ; we shall therefore affix no quotations to those articles in bond for some time to come. We estimate the quantity of Foreign Wheat in bond here, and on board vessels now in our docks, which will be released for home-use, at about 170,000 quarters ; of Flour about 65,000 barrels, three-fourths of which are old and sour ; and in the United Kingdom it is esti mated there may be about 800,000 quarters of Foreign Wheat which will be thus released. Yesterday and to-day we have fine seasonable weather, with every appearance of its being really settled ; notwithstanding which at this day's market there was a better demand than expected for the finest Wheat, Oats, Flour and Oatmeal, and although the prin cipal millers and dealers haVe recourse to their own recent pur chases of Foreign Wheat bought very sparingly, sales to a fair ex tent were made to some of them, and several cargoes were sold to speculators it fully the prices of this day week, and we can make little or no difference in last week's quotations; some small par cels of new Irish Wheat appeared of very fair quality, but in very soft condition, and were sold at the prices affixed.

Our Butter market continues very inactive, without, however, any material alteration in the price. There are some considerably large parcels of Foreign Pork thrown upon the market ;—the ex port demand for Irish is in consequence rather damped.
