An extraordine-y Russian courier, coming front St. Petersburgh,
basarrived at Paris, and after hiving taken the despatches of Count
Ponce de Ilorgo, set out yesterday for Madrid.
A courier, addressed to Baron de Vincent, the Austrian Ambas.
*odor, set out yesterday for London.
M. Von Fleischmann is certainly to reside at St. Petersburgh as
4AI rg d'Affaires from the King of 'Wirtemberg ; it is said, how-
ever, that he will not present his credentials till a kw days befire
the depollute of the Count Beroldingen, whose stay at St. Peters_
burgh will be protracted for wine time longer. It is stfirmed that
tkeMinister (who has lately been appointed Al Mister for Foreign A f.
fairs by the King of Wirtembergi has succeeded in the private ae-
helicon which was confided to him by his Sovereign. Ilia osten-
sible mission is to be present as Antbssarolor from his (*ours at the
41ebration of the marriage of the Princess Charlotte of Wirtern-
bars with the °rood Duke Michael.

Mr. O'Connell, the Irish barrister, whose political de-
clamation we find so often recorded in the Dublin prints,
returning from a temporary sojourn in this country, made
was very silly blunders rtspecting the late much respected
Mr. Ricardo, a man of as enlarged and enlightened mind
and principles, as perhaps ever Rat within the House of
11,batman. To these errors we Ind the Irish " agitator"
now pleads guilty, in a paper of hi., or one he patronise'',
. out of the swarm existing in Dublin, called the Evening
Express. Had Mr. O'Connell made the smallest inquiries
while he was here and ',militating his tirade against Mr.
Ricardo, he would not have committed the egregious
mis-
takes which are calculated to make a public man appear so
truly ridiculous. It is this utter want of judgment in
politics, which has taken sway all weight from anything
Mr. °Tonne'l can say or do. He has considerable talent
and great powers for popular oratory, but no ballast or
political prescience whatever. With him, to talk is every
thing ; the shout of a few hundred hearer,' is his great
ambition. The results of his harangues, or ill-conceived
propositions, he never waits to contemplate; his conduct •
bas, iu COOMWlelice, continually been productive of injury
to the cause he achoea:elt, and little or no good. There ,
was no man a more sincere or disinterested ft iota to civil
and religious liberty than Mr. Ricardo. Whenever the
minute of Catholic emancipation was brought forward,
It received, generally, his support, and always his vote.
He had again and again recorded, in the strongest lan-
gnage, his opposif to, all political persecution fur reli-
gious opinions. Mild, tolerant, and coliOutened, his name
and memory was the vet y Lost that %Wahl !inv.:, been
visited anywhere with coarse and unworthy calumny of
this description, the attempted defence of which truly ex-
aggerates its grossness. There is nothing so much calcu-
lated to alienate the friends of the Catholic cause, as ill-
Judging conduct of this tic aetiption: it produces the most
embittered feelings. Those who foetal with Mr. Ricardo
fa years, who knew his worth and respect his memory, must
experience great pain, when they read suth foul distortions
as Mr. O'Connell gives birth to: it is but too much the habit
of men in general, to mix up the cause and the individual
together. Thus Catholic emancipation and Mr. O'Connell,
3011 i as reform and Mr. Hunt, are by toe many motional,
without considering that all that is respectable or enlight-
ened among either the Catholics or Reformers, in ither sup-
port Mr. O'Connell nor Mr. Hunt. We have often given
it as our conscientious opinion, that the loot of obscure
individuals who assemble in ■ room in Cspel-street, in

Tut: K NG.—Thursday was s day of rejoicing and satis-
faction to the inhabitants of this town and neighbourhood,
at the joyful event of his Majesty's return to the Castle.
It was not known till Tuesday or IVednesday to a certainty
that the King would gratify us with his prcacace on leav-
ing his olivine palace at Brighton, but would, it was
thought, proceed to his palace in Pall-mall; and on it being
known that his Majesty would arrive here on Thursday,
great exultation was felt, and preparations made for
receiving the King with every mark of dutiful rtapect and
kttention. It being known diat his Majesty would arrive
at the Castle to dinner, groups of persona began to assem-
ble at the close of the afternoon, to hail and congratulate
him on his return. Soon after sit o'clock his Majesty's up-
proach being announced by the arrival of' outriders, the
bells by signal struck up a merry peal. As Ida Majesty
mused through the streets of the town he was loudly cheered
by the crowds of persons assembled. The traaespeople
and others proceeded with all possible speed to illuminate
their boost's. The Royal standard was hoisted on the round
tower, to announce the King's arrival.
Yesterday his Majesty rode out in the Parka, and in-
'permit the works which have been proceeding during his
absence, particularly the rides and road to the Royal Lodge.

Ilia !loyal Highness the Duke of York, who is the
Patron of the Society for the Suppression of Mendicity,
liar graciously signified his intention to preside at the annual
meeting, on the 4th, and at the anniversary dinner, on
the nth of March next. _

The Marquis of litehfield, we are concerned to hear,
has had a relapse, having caught cold.
We are assured that it is the intention of Mr. John Fane
to offer himself as a candidate for the representation of this
county, in the room of his late father, as soon as decorum
will permit I to make his intentions publicly known.
Mr. Dashwood, of Kirtlington Park, has announced him-
self a candidate.--ailbet/ Parer.
Lniiu IN E.'S STAI e E.—We are happy to know,
that the subscription to commemorate the name of this
great constitutional lawyer, every day reccivi a new acme-
sions from individuals who knew his invaluable services
while living, and wish his memory to be perpetuated,
when he is no longer amongst us. The remembrance of
such a man never can pass away, until all tradition of the
days in which he lived and acted is extinct. The histo-
rian of the last century will yet record him eloquence and
indimult nee, and the triumphs of public liberty acaleved
unlit r his great elihrts. Rut it would be unworthy of this
country to possess no other memorial of a man, who was
lune of Its greatest ornaments for half a century. The sub-
scription for his statue has received a grateful accession
from Scotland, the land of his birth, so long marked
by the residence of his distinguished brother, who died
bethre him. We should be glad to see Ireland take her
part in this honourable re'niuiscence. The name of such
a man is common property • it sheds a lustre on the entire
country. We hope to see thei subscription extend to the
Sister Island : there are many excellent individuals there,
we know, who would he happy to mark their respect to
the memory of the great Erskine, the friend of liberty in
evi ry clime and country.

According to ttftt latest news from the Archipelago, the English

The last number of the Specrolor Ur eolot of Smyrna, dated
241 of January, annnueeed, that ter some time past there really len
a stupid report of a projected expedition by the insurgents against
Seto. But God presort us, says the Journalist, from being again
witnesses of a similar event ! Natoli§ would shake to its very Nun-
dations, for the same causes would produce the same effects.
According to the same Journal, discord had just relighted its
torches in the NUM, and they foresaw much misery for the
Greeks.

By a decree of the Jan. 30, his Majesty has decided that there
shall not henceforth be publishes', at Madrid, any other journals
than the Gaze He, the Diet io, and the papers of (noinincree, of Lite-
rature, and of the Arts.
Nobody regrets the nest aaradoe ; the perfidy with which that
paper was written, had, by its principles, excited the indignation of
two Spaniards.
The Commission, composed of the l)ukc de Flnfantado, Count
trEspagne, &c., are arduously labouring in the re-organisation of
the tinny ; they have begun by limning the royal guard; but, as
yet, the molts are not in proportion to the electrons used.
The foreign corps will be attervrards organised as they were of
okl, that is to say, that, from the chief officer to the lowest subaltern,
all will be foreigners.
Viscount 'Admit Mareellns, who arrived here, is said to be
charged with an important and secret commission from our Go-
vernment. Some persons assert, that the Marquis of Talent to re-
called to Paris, and that Viscount tllarcellus will be appointed Am-
bassador provisionally to France: others say, that this diplomatic
agent will return on the pith or 9th of this month.

Why seek for vain and gloomy explanations of a fete
so universal, so gay, and so well known ? When I Ink

lamentations, they end in dancing and revelry. If WI

' with the feasts of Isis, Osiris, an l Modus. The Grab,
too, did as much fur Ceres as for Proserpine. The ileiek
of the serpent Python was celebrated with gaiety. A
feast day, and a day of jov, were one and the owe
thing. At the feasts of Bacchus this joy was only carried
too far.

We do not find one general commemoration of an unfor-
tunate event. The institutors of the feasts would have
shown thAngelv..:s to be devoid of common sense, if they
had established at Athens a celebration of the battle
loot at Cheronea, and at Rome, another of the battle d
Cantle. _ .

They perpetuated the remembrance of what 'nigh: es-
courage men, and not of that which mieht fill them with
cowardice or despair. This is so true, that fables were it•
vented for the inirpose of instituting feasts. Castor sod
Pollux did not fight for the Romans near Lake Regillui;
but, at the end of three or four hundred years, too
priests said so, and all the people danced. Hercules did
not deliver Greve: from a hydra with twven heads; bat
Hercules and his hydra were sung.

THE KING'S THE.

The revived opera of The Darla, of Seville was per.
formed at this theatre, for the first time this season, on
Saturday evening. Of the many operas which have given
celebrity to the name of Rossini, f/ liarbf•re di Siriglia is
perhaps the one iii which the gay, joyous, and sparkling
combinations of that accomplished composer's style are
blended egged er with the most felicitous effect. The
music pertake a of the general character of his compositions,
—intricate and rapid in its evolutions, and consisting, as it,
were, in a lat,yrintle of sweet sounds,
In many a winding best
Of linked sweetness fang drawn out."
There is, howevt r, an interspersion of light and agreeable
eiriar, by which die ear is relieved and enchanted by a
rich and continued variety of harmony. The introduction
of ouch pieces is a great relief in a composition which ap-
rale (as the higher class of Italian music usually does) to
science alone. Indeed, to understand and enjoy through-
mil a whole evening, operatic music requires not only
technical skill, but demands a very improved, and ev. n
attificial perception and knowledge of the art. We take it
that in a crowded auditory very few possess this requisite
knowledge and refined perception. hut therefore that any
thing alert oximating to simple melody is felt by the less
tutored car with peculiar and increay.d peatitication. The
Barber if Seville contributes more equally, we think, than
the general class of operas to the eatis. action of the scientific,
as well as to the pleasure and enjojment of those who are
not so. The principal interest of the opera on Saturday
evening devolved on Madame Veatria, who personated
Rosin'., and it could not devolve on a more faithful or fas-
cinating repws.mative. She evinced a tasteful execution,
and there was a full soft sweetness in her tones that exceed-
ed even her former efforts. She was warmly applauded
throughout, and in the repetition of a duet with Bartub,
dic introduced some tasteful varieties. Whilst we pay this
well-merited tribute to her :tim'ing, we could wish that
she did nut presume MI the high favouritism she enjoys, to
assume a familiarity with the audience borderng on the
mime of forwardness. A person cannot well bear to see
even so petty a woman perking her coxcombical airs into
one's face u henever she appears upon the stage. The
scene between Barbra, Burial. (Re Regnis), and Almarira
(.Garcia), commerwing " f'enite Signorina," was the beat
sung and acted in the whole opera. Of Signor Benette,
Who made his first appearance at this theatre a: Fiea,
we we dieputed to think most fevourebly. To aa. ext
resat* econtout, -and a Sul personable deportment, he
unites an intimate acquaintance with the stage, and a
vivacity of manner which must render him a most avail-
die acquisition to the King's Theatre. Nothing could be
More in the spirit of genuine comedy than his preparation
to shave liarlolo, in order to withdraw his attention from
the interview that is paining between the Con»/ and
llosina. His voice b. speaks a sedulous cultivation of
music; it is more distinguished, however, by depth and
conipt,as than by variety or sweetness. Sig. Or Begnis
introduced, in the first act, an air of Romani: it does not
belong to the Opera, but as it was an agreeable song, and
effectively given, we should not be displeased at its intro-
duction. Signora G:aziani, as Berta, was very effective ;
the was particularly so in the sole II reechielioeerra
There is in tide lady's singing an originality and compass
of voice of no ordinary extent, which she seems herself
sear cel y sensible that she possesses. We cannot conclude
our present notice without remarking upon a sort of com-
petition that prevails amongst the performers at the King's
Miriam, to outwit, each other in painting their cheeks of
deep restate hue. It would seen, as if they were anxious
so know which of them could look most like the Saracen's
head. Signor Garcia, who is a very clever actor, and very
pleasing singer, appears to bear the palm in this strange
species of emulation. One would think he took the di-
rection of Handel, " to paint an inch thick upon the
cheek," as personally applicable to hisnself. The ballet of
La Noe(' d,t Villa n followed the opera, in which Madame
!tonal Vestris, autl Mademoiselle Gros, marshalled their
sylph-like pirouetting* in emulative excellence.

Sir Richard Simeon, Bart. who married the daughter of
Sir Fitzwiliam Barrington, Bart. succeeds to the second
t.tie, &c. of his late father (not uncle) Sir John Simeon.
We are happy to infenn our scientific readers that Mr.
Gurney, late Lecturer on Chemistry at the Surrey Insti-
tution, has established an Experimental Laboratory for
practically teaching and prosecuting chemistry, similar to
those winch have so long beet, established on the Conti-
nent, and to which our continental neighbours are indebted
far the very superior flews and knowledge they possess
over us in this useful science. Mr. Gurney opened the
Laboratory last week, and gave a probationary lecture to a
very full and most requctable audience. At the close of
the lecture several lebnted scientific characters entered
ileitnames as operating sutscribere.
A, second edition of a Treatise tin Scrofula, from the
pen of Mr. Farr (dedicated by permission to Mr. Cline),
hail been submitted to us for perusal. The author pro-
pcces the tate of the caustic alkali. as the most efficacious
remedy for that widely disseminated malady; and we
thank that he has clearly manifested that any failures ex-
paienced.by other practitioners, in attempting to effect a
cure by the remedy he has recommended, have been
caused by-the use of an alkali, either badly prepared, or so
detericrated by exposure to atmospheric air, as materially to
change its specific properties, by rendering it a carbonate of
Potash. • Directions are given in this edition for the pre-
paration and procreation of the caustic alkali, in the
purest end most effective state. The impression on our
"tines is, that the practice recommended in this work is
beyond comparison the meat efficient of any yet proposed
for the :use of scrofula, which is confirmed by the history
given in the work of the names and cues of' many persons
rho have been successfuily cured by the proposed plan.
'fbe virtues of the alkali appt ar not to be confined to the cure
of scrofula, but to extend to disagreeable cutaneous dis-
**deg. The book is deserving the attention of families
with any glandular complaints.
PARISIAN FAIIIIIONS.—Nothing can exceed the variety
of dresses that are seen at this period. Costumes appa-
rently adapted for every season of the year may be observed
on the same day, and almost in the same place. Feathers
in all shades, and of all sizes and sorts, are still in request,
and brace the full-dress partite. Paris is in its glory ; we
a'e allowed a whole' month to masquerade it, and fancy
falls are announced to take place in every part of this gay
eistropolis. The Carnival has begun, and the ifttguaisas
d'splay a countless variety of dominos and fantastic dresses.
We are almowt without a guide for the costume of the day.
"hitig looks t.articular, so it be but tasty ; and, indeed,
"on every dress we meet differs ftom the last we may
have seen, although we can trace in them the fashions of
114' 'hit seven years.—Joaraal drs Mod. s.
