MR. ROEBUCK and MR COPPOCK

TO` TIIt; JADITOSI, OF THE DAILY 14i17;5.
Sir,—ooing, CI Daily Nowa Mr. Coppock'..
lettter to The Sun, I beg to answer it through you.
Mr. Coppock has entirely mistaken the spirit and
intention of the remarks I made on the St. Albans
Disfranchisement 13i1!, and has given a very incor-
rcct interpretation to the transactions which he details.
I believed that St. Albans and the persons who had
on the occasion of the late election been discovered
were about to be employed as scapegoats, that the
horror affected was not felt, and that Mr. Coppock
had been employed as an agent for others. In order
to show this I proposed to call him to the bar of the
House.

When I said that be would not have dared to in-
terfere on my behalf in any election, I had in my
mind the mode in which he had described himself as
acting at St. Albans—and I think he, as well as the
Government on whose behalf I supposed him to have
acted, would acquiesce in the truth of this assertion.
I at once acknowledge that I had totally forgotten
my correspondence with him relative to the Bath
election of 1841.. That correspondence had in it
nothing which reflects discredit on any one—and
arose out of the following circumstances.
The Radical party in Bath at that period found
that they were unable to return two Members of their
own opinions—but that if they could unite with the
other section of the Liberal party, viz., the Whigs—
two Liberal Members could be carried. In this
state of things I applied to Mr. Stanley, now Lord
Stanley of Alderley, then conducting the election
affairs of the Whig party, my object being to obtain
a candidate who, while satisfying the Whig section
of the Bath electors, would not be distasteful to my
friends, and while writing to Mr. Coppock I in reality
corresponded with. Mr. Stanley, who, upon my re-
presentations, applied to Lord Duncan. Lord Duncan
in consequence came to Batb, and united with me in
the election, our committee and expenses being joint.
Mr. Coppock was the agent of the Government ; and
as I'svas, in fact, treating with the Government as
principal in the case, I frankly confess that I forgot
the fact that the letters I wrote were sent through
Mr. Coppock, as their agent.
Now as to the money (viz., 3001.) which Mr. Cop-
pock states he gave me. That money had been long
previously offered to me as a subscription by an old
friend, whose name I.need not mention—be is well
known to Mr. Coppock ; and the fund whence it
came was a private one, subscribed by various liberal
politicians, for the purpose of being so employed, and
by Mr. Coppock's hand the money was transmitted
through me to our joint committee. In every con-
tested election expense must be incurred—not cor-
rupt expense—but as work must be done, it must he
paid for, and to this end the money in question was
subscribed.
I have never made it a secret that I have ever been
un willing and unable to incur the expense of a con-
tested election, and the expenses of every election in
which I have appeared as a candidate have been paid
by subscription. Those, for example, of the last un-
successful contest I was engaged in at Bath were
paid by friends who thought my labours in Parlia-
ment valuable. Six hundred pounds for that object
were transmitted to the treasurer of the joint com-
mittee of Lord Duncan and myself by an old and at-
tached friend of mine, who is, in fact, not himself
an active politician. In this assuredly there is nothing
which is deserving of blame either on the part of
my friends or myself.
I pass by Mr. Coppock's vituperative phrases. I
had no ill-feeling as respected bim, and meant him no
harm. The facts of the St. Albans election were not
educed by me, but stated by himself. Whatever of
blame attaches to them certainly cannot in any way
be imputed to me; and if the world generally have
condemned the transactions laid bare in that inquiry,
the pain of that reprehension is but the fair come •
quence of the acts confessed. I thought—and, in
spite of the language Mr. Coppock has deemed it
proper to employ with regard to myself, still believe
that he was unfairly dealt with, and that they on
whose behalf he acted were the persons really in fault.
The violent attacks he has made on me has not in the
least'changed this my belief.—l remain, &c.,
March 7. J. A. ROEBUCK.

SKETCH OF THE RELIGIOUS HISTORY
OF THE SLAVONIC NATIONS. By Count
Valerian Krasinslie. Johnstone and Bunter, Edin-
burgh.
It was observed by a celebrated writer of Germany
that "the Slavonic nations occupy a much larger
space on the earth than they do in history." They
were mere adventurers, but quietly followed others
and occupied lands they had deserted, till they came
into possession of the vast territory which extends '
from the Don to the Elbe, and from the Adriatic Sea
to the Baltic. A most interesting account is given of
the trial and martyrdom of John Huss, an early
Reformer, by the Council of Constance. The chief
object of this book, it appears, is to show how all
nations have advanced in a political, moral, and intel-
lectual development so long as the scriptural or re-
formed religion was adhered to, a►nd retrograded
when that religion was returning to the Roman
Catholic. In conclusion, the author expresses an
earnest hope that some intelligent travellers would
undertake to investigate the condition of the Slavo-
nians.

NARRATIVE OF AN EXPLORATORY
TOUR TO THE NORTH-EAST OF THE
CAPE OF GOOD ROPE. By the Rev. J.
A rbousset.

This book is translated from the French by J.
Crombie Bruwo ; it was arranged under the imme.
diate superintendence of its author, at the earnest
requot of the inhabitants of the Cape, who took deep
interest in the undertaking of Mr. Arbousset. It
conveys important information of the tribes con-
cerning which so much curiosity has been excited,
and it describes the country now rendered interesting
to all from recent events. It was published by the
Paris Missionary Society; in fact, the tour was a
missionary one, hut the travellers have, nevertheless,
been the means of imparting valuable discoveries to
science. They have become aware of the existence of
cannibal tribes in Matutis, and they have discovered
the source of the principal rivers of South Africa in
the chain of the Blue Mountains. On this account
the missionaries have named the sides of one moun-
tain the Mont aux Souces.

THE FARCE OF LIFE. By the Author of
" Masters and Workmen." Newby.
This book may be considered in two ways, as a
story of private life, and as a criticism on public man-
ners. As the former, it is deserving of the highest
praise. The characters are well conceived, ably
executed, and carefully worked out. The hero is
very interesting by his genius and by his misfortunes,
and he has a lofty, independent spirit, that must com-
mend respect and admiration. Miss Carrington, a
vain and heartless heiress, and coquette, is quite true
to nature. Kate D'Arcy, a pure and unsophisticated
girl, shows to great advantage by her side. All sym-
pathies must be enlisted for those whom poverty can-
not tempt to dishonour, nor injustice move to revenge.
On the other hand, we cannot approve of the under-
current of thought running through these pages.
Those who censure should be just, and justice hears
both sides. Whatever may be the faults of the rich,
the powerful, and the aristocratic, they have also
merits. The author seems to have forgotten this en-
tirely, and the unreserved and continuous blame be
casts upon all who belong to the upper ranks of life,
is injudicious and uncalled for. No improvement
can be made by writers till they soften down preju-
dices, and appeal to principles, till they leave off sa-
tire, and confine themselves to simple reflections.

WYNVILLE • or CLUBS AND COTERIES.
By the Author of " The Age of Pitt and Fox."
Skeet.

The volumes above named must unquestionably be
considered of a superior kind. Theirs is the claim of
originality, and theirs is the merit of combining im-
portant information with fictitious amusement. They
treat of an eventful era in the annals of the political
world, when many master spirits were in the full
glory of their senatorial careers, many,
alas I long
since called away from the sphere they adorned in
the country who gloried in such sons. It is always
interesting to trace remarkable characters in works
of this sort. They are here divested of the frigid
exactitude of the historian, and the heavy pomposity
and one-sided bias that often mar the biographical
sketches. We see them here as they walked the
earth, not each standing apart " alone in bis glory,"
but mixing, a man amongst men, to associate with the
world, to control, to influence, to inspire. The hero
of this narrative does not distinguish himself, but he
is well acquainted with the elite of the society of the
town. Many curious adventures, and anecdotes of
and concerning his friends, are given, but they are of
minor attraction.' Beside the accounts referred to of
the leading personages of the time, the following
passages will serve to exemplify the style of the
author :

" The conversation then became very political. " Tell
me, Bennett," said Lord Hungerford, " who is the best
speaker in the House." " Ob, Canning, beyond a
doubt," answered Sir Frencis. •' Well, I prefer Peel,"
said Lord Lingard. " Mr. Plunkett, I should suppose,"
said another, "-is superior to either." " Brougham is
the best of the lot, in my opinion," said Cumberland.
" Nothing like difference of opinion," said Sir Charles
North—" as a speaker, Copley is the man for me."
" Ah," continued Lord Liugard, " Peel is the most
Parliamentary man of them all ; he has a capiial
style of speaking—it is not mado up of flash and
spangles, like Canning's speeches—it is specious, plau-
sible, and does the work famously. He has an excel-
lent knack of dropping his facts in the exact place and
at the right time, to give them their full value." " But,
hang it, that may be all very well," rejoined Sir F.
Bennett, " but Peel has a mediocrity of soul that could
never soar beyond the common place of potions. There
is nothing original about him—there is nothing great
or remarkable in his mind—he has great power of words
and astonishing prudence, but he is only a common-
place character after all. See that Canning, what a
fellow he is, to be sure," and Sir Francis's eyes sparkled
as he spoke ; " why, the very look of him always
rouses me—there is intellect in every feature—
you may see poet and orator stamped upon his
face ; and then how full of character he is.
He is all alive with wit and humour, and there
is such a dash about. the fellow. He is so buoyant and
vivacious, that in this age of conventionalism it is quite
refreshing to meet with such a man. " Well,"
said another, " I have for twenty years beard the
debates, and I should say that Plunkett's speeches
on the Catholic question are the very perfection
of English eloquence—grave, massive, logical, so clear
that the dullest can comprehend, so strong and
animated that the coldest would be carried away."
" Yes, but," said Cumberland, " Plunkett is a regular
speech manufacturer; but Brougham, that's the man for
me. Surely none of you can compare Canning to him
for energy. He jumps up all of a sudden, hurls forth a
philippic against the Treasury bench, is ready to debate
any possible kind of subject with any one. He knows
everything. He is an orator, and a lawyer, and a phi-
losopher, and a critic.

If we revert to measures of law reform, we find a
disposiion and an ability to carry these safe and prudent re
forms in the very highest quarter. No one doubts the per-
fect mastery of the subject> possessed by Lord St. Leonard's;
and who can now doubt his willingness to move in a road
which he has been travelling for three-and-twenty years?
The signs of the times have not been lost on Lord St.
Leonard's. During the period he was out of office Sir Ed-
ward Sugden mixed in the world, and beard and knew what
was going on in both Houses and in the profession on the
subject of law reform. Of his good-will to the cause, for its
own sake, we are quite sure, irrespective altogether of the
obligations of office and duty. But as if to put the matter
practically beyond doubt or cavil .a case arose in the Chan-
cery Court on Saturday in the matter of an estate which had
realised only 9001. The costs in this business amounted to
between 3001. and 4001., or nearly one-half of the whole sum.
In reply to an observation from the late Solicitor-General,
Sir W. P. Wood, who was counsel in the cause, the Lord
Chancellor stated that the costs musk be taxed, and that he
would not allow more than 1501. for costs, as the estate was
small. This is practically dealing with a matter most re-
quiring reform; for, of all points in our law, the question of
costs, whether in law or in equity, is one crying aloud for
alteration. With it, on his very entrance into Ake, Lord
St. Leonard's practically deals; and, give him but time, he
will deal theoretically in a manner equally satisfactory.

has rendered to the country in his judicial, political and le-

his release from the responsibilities of office; but, as we are

we would suggest to him the expediency Of employing his

TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH .1852

AUSTRIA.
(FeoM TIVR TTAIPS CORRF,3PONDENT.)
V'fiSNs A, MARCH 3.—fast,”(l of giving you a fall,
itue, and particular account of the Euiperui's pro-
gresQes, and of the homage rendered to him at Venice
and Verona, you will permit me to call your attention
to matters of greater general interest.
It is commonly believed here that the ruthless
policy of the French President has so cleared the
political horizon that the year 1852 will be com-
paratively barren in events of importance ; but for
reasons which I am now about to give I cannot
share this opinion. Although the Northern Powers--
Austria and Russia—view some of the measures of
Louis Napoleon with dissatisfaction, they cannot
but approve his general policy. Those in office
here certainly speculated on a rupture between France
and England, which would enablo them to carry
out their plans without molestation. I have re-
cently had several opportunities of conversing with
a highly intelligent German, who resides in the
capital of one of the Danubian Principalities, and I I
now give you his opinions in a condensed form :
"A war between France and England would inevi-
tably lead to the accomplishment of the favourite
olans of Russia and Austria. A simulated revolution
in Moldavia and Wallachia would give the Russians
an excuse fur occupying those natural granaries, and
such a quarrel 'night be picked with the Porte as
would render an advance upon Constantinople impe-
ratively necessary." I have repeatedly informed you
that Austria has cast a longing eye on some of the
Turkish provinces on the other side of the Save and
Unna, and news from Bosnia, which will be found
below, induces me to believe that Omar Pasba is fully
aware of the impending danger. The sufferings of
the " Rayahs" in Bosnia are depicted in the strongest
colours by the Governmental organs of the Austrian
press, and the sympathies of their Christian brethren
"on this side of the above mentioned rivers are duly
roused.

It is asserted here that this Government will do all
in its power to induce Louis Napoleon not to violate
the Swiss territory, but lam strongly inclined to
believe that Austria would be but too willing to lend
him a helping hand in crushing the little Republic.
Prussia was not only wronged in the matter of Neuf-
chatel, but her pride was deeply wounded. Will she
be ungenerous enough to make common cause with
her gigantic neighbours ?
Things are not going on so favourably here as the
friends of Austria could wish. The Hungarians and
Italians remain true to their passive resistance system
and every now and then we hear of political offenders
having been conveyed privately to the prisons of
Vienna. Eight persons of distinction, who are said
to be deeply compromised, were brought here from
Galicia two or three nights ago, but the circumstance
is known only to the few. The state of the finances
is still extremely unsatisfactory, and is likely to con-
tinue so until a radical cure is undertaken. I learn
from excellent authority that the convention with the
bank was but a preliminary to several important or-
dinances which will soon be published. A finance
patent, similar to those of 1810, 1811, and 1816, is
not to be expected, as it would be a death-blow to the
empire. It may be asked, how it is to be avoided ?
The means are obvious enough, but no one has the
courage to propose a measure the very idea of which
is hateful to the aristocracy and the possessors
of real property. Persons of vast experience in
financial matters assure me that a property
tax of 2 or 3 per cent., payable in three years, would
put an end to all the financial miseries under which
Austria has been groaning since 1848. I am well
aware that it will excite vast indignation that I have
ventured to touch on such a delicate subject, but I
cannot forget that the paper currency has already
undergone a deterioration of 24 per cent., and it ap•
pcaepairtsaltothmane btoetbteerstuob

tohre3
epveiriscent. of one's
inseparable
from a national bankruptcy.
The Austrian papers amuse their readers with the
most contradictory reports respecting the representa-
tive of the United States. According to one paper
" Mr. M'Curdy has received his passport ;" according
to another, " the Chargé d'Affaires from the United
States has not been requested to leave Vienna." The
truth is, that the gentleman in question is quietly
awaiting the result of the Chevalier Hulsemaau s
violent " flare-up" at Washington.
The military conscription has now been extended
to the free ports of Trieste and Fiume, to the great
consternation of the inhabitants.
I cannot conclude this part of my letter withont
remarking, that from Verviers to Hamburgh, and
from Hamburgh to Trieste, there is a general im-
pression that Lord Palmerston will soon be in office

again. This opinion is entertained here by persons
of the most opposite political opinions, as
well by
those who fear us by those who wish it. Nothing
could be more agreeable to Russia and Austria than
the present British Cabinet, as it is foreseen that
even if it does not actually favour the ultra-reac.
tionary plans of the continental Powers, its " Protec-
tionist" principles will raise, such a violent storm at
home that the attention of ene nation will be called
off from what is going on abroad.

BOSNIA.
(From the Times.)
A Turkish military coluann, consisting of about
10,000 men, with four guns., has occupied the limp-
luka (the Austrians were defeated by the Turks here
in 1737) district, and disarmed the Rayabs. Six
battalions, under the command of a Pasha, are ex-
pected at Bihacs. A strong detachment of cavalry
has occupied Novi. Every large town is garrisoned.
It appears that a widely spread conspiracy, the object
of which was to overthrow the Government, has
been brought to light. The following extracts
from telegraphic dispatched are not without inte-
rest :

" Every bridge, every ferry, is guardod. Tho boats
on the river (the Unna) are destroyed, and every point
of communication with Austria is occupied by strong
Turkish pickets."

A few days since an Austrian ordinance prohibited
the exportation of firearms arid ammunition into Wal-
lachia and Moldavia, and, if my memory does not de-
ceive me, a similar edict in respect to Bosnia was re-
pealed some months since.
