attire, and the fun was greatly enhanced by the clever
personation of such pleasant actors, who each repre-
sented a different type of antiquated womanhood. Evi•
dences of manhood presiding over theeetablishment are
found in every cupboard and on every shelf, and
boots, razors, and trowsers rouse alarming suspicion,
till at last, during the temporary absence of the mil-
liners-, the pseudo ladies are detected indulging in
pipes and tobacco. This brings matters to a climax ;
the fraud is detected, and female vengeance aroused ;
and needles and scissors become fearful implements in
the hands of the enraged nymphs. The indignant
master, discovering he also has been hoaxed, returns
at this critical moment, and vows vengeance ; but an
incipient liaison having been discovered between him
and one of the young ladies, he purchases secrecy by
a general pardon and a ch'ampegne supper for the
entire party. The spirit of the farce is very cleverly
sustained, and it was played amidst a continual roar,
that ended in vehement approbation, which pro-
nounced it a triumphant success.

the creature comforts provided for the emigrants
during the voyage, we give a list of the principal
stores on board the ship Constance, which sailed on
Saturday morning, with 395 passengers, for Port
Philip :—Bread, 2,5001 b. ; flour, 18,9001 b. ; peas
6,7001 b. ; oatmeal, 6,8501 b. ; rice, 3,8001 b.; beef,

coffee, 9601 b. ; butter and cheese, 3,5001 b. ; pre-
served raw potatoes, B,ooolb. ; and 50,000 gallons of
water. In addition to which is a large supply of
" medical comforts," such as arrowroot, sago, &c.
For strength, beauty of model, and genbral finish, the
Constance has not been surpassed by any ship that
has sailed hence for the colonies. She was built by
Messrs,. W. and R. 'Wright, of St. John's, for Mr.
James Beazley, and is commanded by Captain M. M,
Milward. We understand that Captain Patey, the prin-
cipal emigration officer of this port, has recently re-
turned from the metropolis, and that he is of opinion
that the majority of the Liverpool ships are far superior
tothose of other ports for second and third-class passen-
gers, being generally larger, and having greater height
between decks, and consequently possessing better
ventilation. The parochial authorities of Liverpool
are using exertions to obtain a voluntary rate for the

TAIT'S EDINBURGH.

" The Governments of Continental Europe" are
continued in the present number, this month's
instalment relating to Spain. The virtual
national bankruptcy of this magnificent country,
the geographical position of which is, perhaps,
superior to that of any kingdom of Europe, is
strongly animadverted on. From its unwise and
impolitic commercial code it may be regarded as the
very paradise of smugglers. Entire districts live by
the illicit trade, and the transition thence to regular
highway robbery, or to the bandit system, is easy
and natural. The ecclesiastical despotism—utterly
incompatible with civil and political liberty, with
intellectual and religious freedom—is also exposed.
The continuation of "Norman Hamilton" is worthy
of the preceding chapters. "A Few Words upon
Beards" must also prove deeply interesting to all
votaries of the " monarch beard," who by their
present devotion to " the martial moustache,"
the haughty imperial, or the daily expand-
ing whisker, proclaim their adhesion to man's
"distinguishing," as it is his " most ancient
and honourable, appendage." "The Beet Sugar Manu-
facture, its introduction into Ireland," is also well
worthy of notice. The same may be said of several
other well-written papers that appear in this month's
number of our liberal North British contemporary.

BANKER'S.

We have here a second article on what has been
termed " Dangerous Life Assurance." The admi-
rable pamphlet of Mr. B. H. Strousberg is largely
quoted from in the present number, as well
as the very able brochure of Mr. W.
Swiney, which appears to us completely
to rebut the charge brought forward of want of ade-
quate security for the satisfactory liquidation of the
)it.bilities of the junior establishments. The excellent
paper on the " Laws of the Currency of Ireland,"
read by J. W. Gilbert, Esq., before the statistical
section of the British Association, on the 2d of last
month, is inserted. There are also some " Strictures
on Scotch Banking," and an interesting account of
the " Financial Position of the Great Western Rail-
way." The usual notice of " Banking and Com-
mercial Law" for this month relates to the dealings
of bankers with married women—a very important
an interesting branch of the subject. There is also a
more than average amount of commercial intelligence,
which must prove exceedingly useful to the readers
of this well-conducted magazine.

GERMANY.

The following is the text of the dispatch that M.
DE MANTEUFFEL addressed, on the 27th, to the Am-
bassador of Prussia, resident at foreign courts, rela-
tive to the question of the Zollverein :
"In the declaration nude by the Prussian Govern-
ment to-the Customs' Congress, in its sitting of the 30th
of August last, it pointed out the necessity of fixing, in
a precise and legal manner, the extent of the future cus-
toms' union, and at the same time expressed the hope
that in the first fortnight cf September an answer would
be given upon a common basis so much desired for nego-
tiations, without which the Prussian Government could
not resume the deliberations. _

" In expressing this hope we thought we were all the
more certain of a general agreement, as we were
convinced that all parties would acknowledge the ne-
cessity the circumstances demanded to put an end
to the uncertainty which could but exercise a
fatal influence over all the relations, and which the
general interest demanded to cease. But to our great
regret, the Government to which you are accredited has
made no satisfactory answer to the demand that the ne-
gotiations for a commer3ial and customs' treaty with
Austria should not be opened till after the conclusion of
the treaty for the renewal and extension of the
Zollverein.

" We, in consequence, find it impossible to continue
the deliberations with all the Plenipotentiaries of the
Congress, and therefore we have resumed the negotia-
tions with the States which have acceded to our decla-
ration of the 30th August.
" Animated with the desire to make, as hitherto, every
effort to advance and reach the object of the renewal of
the Zollverein, with the secession of the Stearverein, as
far as that is possible in the general interest, and that of
our country, we shall no; hesitate, as soon as circum-
stances permit, to renew the negotiations with the Go-
vernment with which yet aro accredited, when it shall
have declared its assent to the question under discussion.
I shall be delighted to receive such an announcement.
:(Signed) '6 MONTEUFFEL."

GERMANY.

The following passage from the memoirs of the
Mat„ General Von Muffling, written by himself, under
the title of " Ana meinem Leben," will perhaps at
this moment be read with some interest. .aliiffling
was the agent of all communications between the
head-quarters of Blucher and the Duke of Welling-
ton during the march of the allies on Paris, after the
return ofiNapoleon from Elba :
"During the march (after the battle of Waterloo)
Blucher had once a chance of taking Napoleon prisoner,
which he was very anxious to do; from the French
Commissioners who were sent to him to propose an
armistice, ho demanded the delivery of Napoleon to him
as the first condition of the negotiations. I was charged
by Marshal Blucher to represent to the Duke of Wel-
lington that the Congress of Vienna had declared Napo-
leon °Clawed, and that he was determined to have him
shot the moment he fell into his hands. Yet he wished
to know from the Duke what he thought of the matter;
for if lie (the Duke) had the same intentions, the Mar-
shal was willing to act with him in carrying them into
effect. _ _

" The Duke looked at me rather astonished, and began
to dispute the correctness of the Marshal's interprets-
tipn of the proclamation of Vienna, which was not at
all intended to authorize or incite to the murder
of Napoleon; he believed, therefore, that no right to
shoot him in case he should be made prisoner of war
coald 'oe founded on this document, and he thought the
poJition both of himself and the Marshal towards Na-
po', o.a, since the victory had been won, was too high to
permit such an act to be committed. I had felt all the
force of the Duke's arguments before I delivered the
ntesqr,-,re I had very unwillingly undertaken, and was,
therefore, not inclined to oppose them. I therefore,'
contented the Duke, wish my friend and colleague to
see this matter in the light I du; such an act would give
our times to history stained by a crime, and posterity
mail say of ni, they were not worth,; to be his con-
quei ors; the more so, as such a deed is useless, and can
ta,7 a nr) object.' Of these expressions I ouly used enough
to dissuade Blucher from his intention."

There are three dispatches given by Miiffling. in
'the appendix to his memoirs, in which the execution
of Napoleon is urged on the Duke of Wellington by
Blucher ; they are signed by Gneisenau, and leave no
doubt of the determination to revenge the bloodshed of
the war on the cause of it, bad he fallen into the bands
of the Prussian Commander. Blucher's fixed idea
vkfas that the Emperor should be executed on the very
vot where the Due d'Engbien was put to death. The
last dispatch yields an unwilling assent to the Duke
• t Wellington's remonstrances, and calls his inter-
ference "dramatic magnanimity," which the Prussian
head-quarters did not at all comprehend. Probably
,74t few Frenchmen are aware of the existence of this
correspondence, or that it is an historical fact Napo-
leon's life was saved by his rival, whom it cost no
small exertion to save it.

ITALY.

The Corriere Illereaut,le of Genoa quotes a letter
from Bologna, stating that two political assassinations
took place at Lugo on the 17th ult., in the Roman
States. There happened to be a fair at the time,
and consequently larger crowds in the streets than
usual. One of the victims, M. ZACCHARI, a notary
by profession, and gonfaloniere of the town, well
known for his zeal in the Papal cause, was stabbed
to death on his own threshold, on returning borne ;
the other, M. MONTANARI, the procuratore fiscal, or
public prosecutor, was stabbed at 9 A.M., in the very
midst of the markelllace ; but his wound has been
pronounced not to be mortal. It has not been stated
whether the assassins have been arrested or not.
The case
,of GIJERRAZZI and others continues to
excite intense interest at Florence. After having,
in the course of the sitting of the Royal Court of
the 24th
,ult., answered all the allegations brought
against him with respect to his younger days,
GUERRAZZI proceeded to sketch his political conduct
in 1848, until the period when MONTANELLI was
named Governor of Leghorn, asserting that all his
efforts were directed towards maintaining order and
tranquillity in that town, particularly during the
disturbances which Lroke out there in September of
that year.—The President of the court having asked
him whether he bad filled any public offices in Tus-
cany be answered that he had been a deputy to the
Council• General, a constitutional Minister of the
GRAND DUKE, spontaneously called by him to that
office before his departure from Tuscany ; and, subse-
quently, a member of the Provisional Government in
virtue of the votes and solicitations of the Chambers,
and Chief of the Execvtive by a decree of the Tuscany
Constituent Assembly. He then spoke of MONTA-
NELLI, declaring that the charge brought against the
latter, of not being sincerely attached to the GRAND
DUKE, was unfounded, it being his firm opinion that
MoriTADIELLes republicanism only dated from the
GRAND DUKE'S departure from Tuscany; but that
he was loyally attached to the Prince during the
time of his Ministry, even entertaining the idea of
aiding him in assuming the crown of Italy, had they
succeeded in procuring her freedom. He further
spoke of MAzzusi, disapproving of his political opi-
nions, which he described as fantastical, and not
founded upon a sound knowledge of men and things.
He spoke without interruption for upwards of
five hours, and was listened to with profound at-
tention.

ing its salient peculiarities, preserving at the same
time with 'consummate skill the peculiar tone which
should prevail throughout—than in his impersOnation
of the Danish Prince last evening. With Mrs. Kean
as Ophelia, and the minor parts in such highly
efficient hands as those of Harley, Addison, Meadows,
&c., it is not surprising that this splendid perform-
ance is sure to draw a bumper house. Last night
not a seat was left unoccupied, and many were dis-
appointed of admission. The pantomime, moreover,
is in the zenith of its popularity, continuing to afford
immeasurable enjoyment to all classes of spectators
evening after evening. " The Lily and the Bee"—
no inappropriate title for la belle Leclercq and Cur-
mack, the accomplished representatives of Columbine
the Fair and Harlequin the Active—contribute their
sparkling aid with unwaning brilliancy to the
general triumph. Flexinore gives to some ex-
tent a new reading (so to term it) of the
Clown. That degree of lubberliness which
used to be considered a necessary ingredient
in the character, he entirely discards, assuming, too,
an attire of a new and superior description, that gives
bun a singularly light appearance, excellently suited
to the agility and rapidity which characterise every
feature in the performance of this admirable artist.
His Clown is,a sharp, humorous, rascally scamp ; an
adroit, unscrupulous knave and cozener; in lightness
and activity " feathered Mercury" in disguise; but
be never illegitimately resorts to any of those mounte-
bank feats, the introduction of which upon the
boards is properly allowable . in a professed posturer
alone, and many of which may be daily seen done
very cleverly by street tumblers. The Pantaloon
wants rubbing up ; a dose of joint oil, or stirrup oil,
or something to iniuse into him a little more supple-
ness and animation, Taking the entertainment on the
whole,'both. as regards the introductory and comic
Portions, Harlequin Billy Taylor may fairly lay claim
to the first-honours of the station.

ExampLE.—At the commencement of the year 1841 a person aged
thirty took out a Policy for 1,0001., the Annual Payment for which
is 24/. 1.. Bd.; in 1847 he had paid in Premiums 1601. I Is. Bd. ; but
the profits being 2% per cent. per annum on the sum insured (which
Is 22/. 10s. per annum for each 1,000/.), he had 1571. 10s. added to the
Policy, almost as much as the Premiums paid.
The Premiums, nevertheless, are on the most moderate scale, and
Only one-half need be paid for the first five years when the In-
Surance is for Life.

LEIGH HUNT.

" The fattier of a new school of poetry, where subtle
fancies and interwoven imagery supplant the old broad-
b.cked day-light similies of Pope, whore one thought
was often ,swelled pompously out through a whole page.
Keats was an admirer and follower of this master, and
with him seemed to wish for the romance and brilliant
fancy of Chaucer once more to sail into our poetical
firmament.

" Once we detested him, for his attack on Byron when
dead, but now be has explained that away, we love him
for his kindliness and innocence of soul, his heartiness
of sentiment, and . hatred to all mawkiness; and, wish
heartily that his body was as young as his soul.
" His Tale of Ramine contains many exquisite and
richly coloured word-picturee, and many notes of joy
and sadness hover around a quivering string of narrative
filled with the deepest pathos."
Here, moreover, is Alastor's mention of

BOW-STI?EET.

Yesterday named Alfred Cowne, who
described a young
himself man

en,
was
placed at the
assistant to a soda-water
manufacturer at Wall3am-
as an agre
bar before Mr. Henry, chargedt for
with obtaining money
by means of forged orders r the Adelphi and other
theatres.
a
Serjeant
B shford, 5 F, said that having ascertained
Clare-market had purchased an
that a shopkeeper in eta
on the sth of December
order from the prisoner
he met the prisoner,
which turned out to be forged,
he discovered that
and, after taking him into custody,.
or nearly every theatre
had also sold such orders t .
he
Id b • ring forward wit-
nesses to prove which he could in town,
at a future day.
Joseph
Eagle, of 7, Little Ryder-street, St.
James's, an
attendant at the public baths, said that
he purchased the two orders produced from the
prisoner for the Adelphi Theatre, " signed " J. B.
Thompson." They were both for the pit, and after
giving him Is. 61,, and expressing au opinion they
were not correct, he assured him they were genuine,
and should be presented before seven o'clock, adding
that should he or his friends not be admitted, to
come to him, as he was a check-taker, and he would
I pass them. He subseqently gave one to a friend
named Curtis, and he was informed it was a forgery.
Mr. William Wyld, sub-treasurer of the Adelphi
Theatre, said there was no person named Thompson
who had authority to write orders ; nor was there any
such person as the prisoner employed as a check-
taker. There were ten such orders presented, some
being signed with the name of Cooper; but no :ouch
person had any connexion with the home.
,R Mrs. Martha Hibbard proved that she purchased
an order from the Prisoner, about a fortnight back,
for the pit of the Princess's Theatre, fur which she_
gave him 6d., and on presenting it she was refused
