LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 7, 1837.

1
In the 'Rouse of Lords yesterday Earl STANHOPE, by pre•
sentieg some petitions that had been got up for the repeal of
the Poor Law Amendment Act, revived a discussion on a
measure respecting the extensively beneficial operation of
which there are but few persons that have witnessed its work-
ing who do, in reality, entertain any doubt. The Earl o!
CHICHESrF.R in declaring, as he did last night, that " wherever
there had been most experience of the working of the new lan
there was the most satisfaction and approbation of it," expressed,
..he general sense of both Houses of Parliament, as well as the
....common concurrent sentiment of the country at large. Lord,
~: W yNeoan's rail-known wisdom was eminently conspicuous
yesterday. During the discussion the Learned Lord let hi
light shine forth in the following extraordinary revelation of
his opinion :—" lie thought the rule which prevented la.
"—bourers from seeking for employment, and attending at reli-
.--
gious worship, was contrary to humanity. He saw n,
;'reason why they should not wander about at all hours
in the day time, provided they attended regularly at meals
;:rand were in by a reasonable time at night." His Lord-
ship, it must be admitted, evinces a sagacity, a prevoyancc
a degree of legislatorial aptitude rarely displayed ever
At!, in that House, whose Members are law-makers by the
luck of loins. After a great portion of the evening had heel,
wasted upon this worn-out suhjoct, Lord WYNECRO Whited
his Noble Friend to withdraw his motion for certain Return,
-r. respecting the working of the system; and Earl &rammer.
• did then accordingly withdraw his motion.
In the House of Commons, on a motion for the committal 0:
',' the Slave Treaties Bill, it will be seen by our Parliamentan
4s report, that a discussion of considerable interest ensued. Lore?
PALMERSTON concluded some observations on the subject, 1)
A
-, assuring, the House that every energy was exerted by her
„
MAJESTY', Government, in orderto suppress the odious traffic
Colonel Tiromrsom said that he was the only living Gover
.• nor of Sierra Leone (which was rather a rare race), and h('
",thought that by steam vessels alone the slave trade could bel
,suppressed.

Wit.. C. WOOD stated that a steamer had been employed o►.
the coast of Africa, but it was not found to ans•.vcr the ex-
nectations that had been formed ; the fact was, that the dif-
ficulty arose from there not being a power to seize vesst+
unless slaves were on board. Whatever had not been done
with respect to the prevention of the carrying on of the slave
trade arose not from a want of exertion on the part c)
the Government, but from the conduct of treaties with other
powers.

I Mr. CLAY postponed, till next session, his motion relative
to the Danish Claims.
Captain DrNDAS then brought forward his motion for the
appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the state of!
the officers of her MAJESTY'S Navy, with a view to the forma-1
tion of a retired list of meritorious office's. After some dis I
lcussion, the Gallant Captain's motion was carried by a majo-
I
rity of 2, the numbers being 21 and 19.
Mr. HUME then rose to submit a motion respecting Canada,l
when (before seven o'clock) the [louse was counted out.

The election of Members rs of Parliament for the Cit-
of London has always been, and must always be, 1.
matter of first-rate importance. The influence of the
capital of the empire is great, ,;id for a political part
"1
-, to have that influence on its side, is to have " a towel
of strength, which they of the adverse faction want.'.
' Hence the fierce struggleswhich have so often beeri
ii•
- made to obt;...in this advantage ; am hence, as a mattel;
0f course, the mortification- and rage of the faction:
.'' whose supporters the good sense and sound principleP
of the citizens of London have of late years entirel:,l
excluded from the representation of the metropolis. 1
The example, too, of the City of London, at a
gene- P.
:ral election, is of no small moment. According as the ,0
-.-
OAevent is favourable, or otherwise, to a particular system i
of politics, will be the eTect on the provincial elee-4
..IL.ftions. Who does not retnentber--vho can ever forget— it
..„17the almost electric effect produced' throu,2,hou't 'th ill''
country by the return of the fonr Reforinin4Ll
Members who at present so worchily represen';P
~.the metropolitan city ? It crushed the hopes 0:1
the Tori 6 in the very
bud, hanging like a mill-''
stone round their necks, and paralizin:; all their *'
Or.
tions. So we confidently trust it will be at thew p?
mooching election—we were
going to "rite emitest
but that we are inclined to think would not be r'ii,t: -
, correct. True it is, and of verity, that an attempt_
a very ridiculous one.---is making to get up an opp
r, tion • to the present Members ; but, as far as it hos.:4
hitherto proceeded, it does not promise any considcr-I
able accession of glory to the Anti-Reform party.
It was given out that the City Tories, no longei‘
. able to stand the daily badgering of the Times, hall
: determined to start at least two candidates, and liac,7
fixed upon Mr. ',YALE., the gentleman whom they '•
• honoured with the opportunity of spending the besti;..
. part of 3,0001. at the last election, as one of thetn..
Mr. LYALL, however, was not to be done a second ..
• time. He finds it no joke to be exhibited as a spec-
tacler,
i
of absurdity, and to spend his money merely foil
1 the gratification of a set of selfish fellows who will dl
nothing for the cause but talk.
.His feelings at thc"
treatment he has received arc admirably expressed ink
Ithe following letter written by his son to the Secretaryo
of a Body supposed to possess considerable influence ig
in the election : 1:1..

i " TO THE SECRETARY OF THE LUMBER TROOP.
" Sir,—The great kindness and impartiality which I have
always experienced from the Lumber Troop made me parti-i
ularly anxious to pay my respects to my old friends and com-I
ades this evening.
" My father has, however, felt himself obliged to declin,
ming forward on this occasion, in consequence of the ver,
absurd and contemptible behaviour of the City Tories, or ra
ther of that portion of them who arrogate to themselves tin
right of dictating the terms on which their candidates arc ti
!stand. As their conduct insured the certainty of defeat, rn3
father did not feel disposed to sacrifice himself again fo!
their pleasure and amusement, and he has acc;:rdingly taker!
the liberty of withdrawing altogether from the contest.;

" Under these circumstances I could not well h a vegiiei,
ny expression to my feelings on the present state of public
affairs, and I am obliged to deny myself the satisfaction of
meeting you and the Troop this evening ; but I hope, as soot,
as ever the election is over, to renew my acquaintance with
entlemen whose candour, and honesty, and impartiality 114vr
always commanded my respect. even when we differed most
idely in our political views and opinions.
" I remain, Sir, your very obedient servant.
"JOHN EDWARDES LYALL.

As Parliament is now drawing to a close, we cannot
help noticing the many unfair efforts made during tin
present Session to impede the progress of railroads, it;
which, from a conviction of the utility of these im•
portant undertakings, we have taken considerable in-
terest. Our attention has been more particularly called
to this subject by perusing the petition of the Direc-
tors of the City of London, or Southwark, ant,
Hammersmith Railway, printed with the votes
Tuesday last. The opposition which the pro-
tnoters of this Railway have had to encounter ha,
been of the most vexatious and harrassing &scrip:
tion. Witnesses from the alleys of the Stock Ex
change were hired to attack the subscription Hsi'.
of the Company, and even after the investigation of',
that list had been completed, the Report of the Select'
Committee was unaccountably delayed for a period of
two months (the parties being prevented, during tht,
interval, from proceeding in- Committee on the 13]1),1
;o that, it is now out of the power of the Company VI
obtain their Act this Scssion, as the time which the
House will sit will not admit of the necessary forms
being gone through.

We find, as we anticipated would be the case, tha
Nlr. CLAY last night postponed until next Sessiot

_ . .
his motion on the case of the British Merchants wh(
suffered losses by the seizure of their ships and goods in
Denmark. The sufferers can therefore only now hop(
that a new Parliament will at length do them justice.
Nit. HUTT, as he has always done on every occasion
when the case of these injured persons has been men.
tioned, expressed himself strongly last night in favour of
indemnifying the claimants, in which we heartily
concur, more particularly as that indemnification is not
a call upon the public purse, but on a fund arising
from the sale of Danish property long since paid into th,
British Treasury. We trust that Mr. HUTT'S con-
stituents will do him the justice he merits, by enablin
.him in the new Parliament to follow up his able advo-
cacy of these claims, as well as of other questions o 1
public and local good, in which his services have been.,
,and will be so useful. Indeed we have always ob-
served with pleasure the diligence and attention of tlii
gentleman to his Parliamentary duties, and the zea
and ability which he has displayed in promoting every
measure having the good of the country for its object. I

The Monitcur of Wednesday, which we have -
re-
ceived along with the other papers of the same date
informs us that on Tuesday his Excellency Lor,
GRAN viLLE had a private audience of the King ol
'1
• the FRENCH, at which he delivered to his MAJ EST)
; letters from Queen VICTORIA, announcing the dent'
of WILLIAM IV., and her MAJESTY'S accession IA:
'_ the Throne of these Itcalms. Lord GRA N VILLL
11so delivered letters to the KING, accrediting hi,,
Lordship Ambassador Ex.raordinary to the Court od
France ; and likewise a letter from her Bridanni,
MAJESTY, in answer to the notification of the mar
liege of his Royal Highness the Duke of ORLEAN
-with die Princess HELENA of Mecklenburg Schwerin
. The Council sat upwards of two hours on Tuesday.
A report prevailed that Marshal CLA US EL'S &-
perdue for Spain, in orler to take the command o
I,lic Foreign Legion, was the subject of an animated dis-
ler:sion. The Pax says that the rumour of dirt
!Marshal's departure acquires hourly a greater degrec!
of consistency, and that there is no doubt but that ln I
will enter the service of Queen CHRISTINA. WO
are not quite so sanguine. The Marshal is too wel
acquainted with the actual condition of Spain tc
hazard his military reputation in it, unless Franc( i
will undertake to hear all the charges of the expedition!
—which at this moment her Government lies certainly'l
no intention of doing.

New York Papers have been received this morning—two
days later than the previous accounts—by the packet Henry the
Fourth, at Liverpool.
The New Yorh Enquirer, of the 2d June, states—" Th(
anxiously expected packet ship Pennyslvania, from Liverpool,)
arrived yesterday, bringing London dates of the 25th April.
On the whole, this arrival brings nothing decisive. A large
amount of protested bills have been returned by the above
vessel. Exchange :—Owing to the still existing want of
confidence, the rate of bills on Europe for the packet of the
'lst instant, differed very materially ; some bills on London
'were disposed of as low as 8 per cent. prem. ; some at 10 per
'cent. ; and others from 121- to 15 per cent. The transactions
!on all places were on an unusual limited scale."

The following is an extract of a letter received and posted
,at
the North and South American Coffee House:--.

" LtveseooL, JeLv 6.—The ship Henry the Fourth arrived
here half an hour ago, having sailed from New York on the
4th of June, four days before the packet-ship George Wash-
ington. Of the latter nothing has yet been heard. The in-
telligence brought by her, as regards commercial matters is
favourable. The Pennsylvania, from Liverpool, arrived out,
and put them in possession of the exceedingly favourable im-
pression which the Bonds of the United States Bank had
made in England, and the reception which they had expe-
rienced here. This news was considered so favourable that
- the shares of the United States Bank had advanced one psi
cent., having closed at 1021."
A Montreal paper has been received to the 31st May. It
states that there continues to be a considerable run on the Bank
of Upper Canada ; but that payments are made in specie as
soon as it is demanded. Although a holiday had intervened,
yet the Bank deemed it advisable to keep their doors open for
the transaction of business. It is stated that Mr. Murray, ofi
the Upper Canada Bank, had returned from New York with
50,000/. in specie, and that he had made arrangements for
75,0001. more, if necessary. It is also stated on authority
that the Provincial Parliament will be immediately called for
the actual dispatch of business.
The Nov York Commercial Price Current, of the 3d oft

BRITISH AND FOREIGN REVIEW. No. IX
Ridgway, London, 1837.

The fourth Number of this Journal is now lying befor
is, and fully sustains its character for sound sense
Ind the absence of all party Quixotism in its politics
>apers. It has no particular vigor or brilliancy o
bought or style, such as marked the Edinburgh Re.
view in its earlier days ; but possesses more sterling,
less showy, qualifications, discussing every subject tha
t takes up, in a calm, lucid, and argumentative spirit
It probes its themes to the quick ; sets them before us i!
A ariety of lights ; and from premises carefully co,l.
gidered, draws the shrewdest and most felicitous deduc
tions. The elaborate criticism on " Landor's Imagi
nary Conversations" is of this character, full
thought, and searching enquiry, and furnishing us witl
distincter and more vivid ideas of the intellectual pecu.
liarities of Hr. Landor than we have yet happened t,
meet with. His political, ethical, and purely literary.
opinions are all commented on at length, his errors ex-
posed (but with no unfriendly hand), and his merit:
insisted on with equal impartiality. Mr. Landor, it
seems, is favourably disposed towards Russia, on whirl,
the Reviewer observes:—

Having stated our agreement with many of Mr. Landor's
political sentiments, we must enter our protest against others
of them. His earnest sympathy with the Greek cause has led
him into some strange inconsistencies respecting Russia. The
mere facts of belonging to the same church, and of thinking
alike upon the Divine procession and imc,e-worship, seem in
Mr. Landor's eyes to convert the most crafty. and encroachint,
power in Europe into the most liberal and humane. He whc,
from his ideal vantage-ground hurls his bolts against Kings
and Ministers, Prelates, and Congresses, is taken on a sudden,
with an odd fancy of bepraising the Emperor Nicholas, and of
expecting from him a new rem of salvation and freedom for an
oppressed race I Much allowance is, perhaps, to be made for
the hopes of one so zealous in the cause of liberation, and for
his concentrating them on one point, when in all other quar-
ters he had seen them baffled and fruitless. But in the wide
range of his historical studies, can Mr. Landor have so en-
tirely neglected the page of Russian history, as not to have
learned that, whatever may be the personal character of the,.
Sovereign, the character of the Government remains un-
changed ; and that, however absolute in other respects the
Emperor may be, in his foreign policy he is but the steersman •
of a ship whose course has been laid down for him, and whose
instructions are to perform the voyage as compendiously and
with as much secrecy as possible ?"
The closing observations in the above passage are f.
replete with truth, as every one must know who is fa- 1
minar with the Russian history for the last half century
and upwards. Despotic in every other respect, the
Czar as regards political matters, is the mere instru
ment of a faction. He dare not advance but as they

ladvance, or presume to be more tolerant or enlightened
than they choose that he should be. He rules for
them, and by them, for it is a farce to suppose that

_ .
Nicholas consults his own will, in preference to that of
the old Russian Noblesse. In himself he is, we un-
' , derstand, a humane man ; but as the head of a power-
ful faction he dare not consult the dictates of his own
-, heart. We saw an instance of this but recently in the
case of Poland, which was visited by a series of the
'most remorseless persecutions, merely because the old'
Russian aristocracy imagined that its strike for freedom
might be infectious, and endanger their own unquali-
fied authority over their vassals. The cord, the dagger,
~ or the poisoned bowl has been the fate of every mo-
narch, since the reign of the Empress Elizabeth, who
has arrayed himself against the interests of the
.1. Muscovite aristocracy. " Social State of Norway" is
c a notice of Mr. Laing's late volume of travels in that
: country, and gives us some interesting—and we may
Y. add, novel—details respecting its present domestic con-
dition. The Reviewer is a Utilitarian, but no pedant.
Law of Arrest" discusses a subject of general im-
portance to the community, but which has alread./ been
so familiarized to the public by the recent debates in .
Parliament, that we need state no more in this place,
than that the question is carefully and temperately ".
handled, and that the Reviewer is decidedly opposed ..
to the law of arrest for debt, on the plea that " thei
system is an outrage on universally acknowledged prin-r
ciplcs of religion, justice, and common sense." In the 'l
article entitled " Penal Colonies," it is proposed to do
away with, or rather to diminish, the transportation of
iiuvenile convicts, by adopting a penitentiary system for
Ithem in this country. The proposition is an inge-
nious one, and merits the consideration of the Legis- i:
Mature. " National Schools of Ireland" speaks in terms !,1
lof deserved commendation of the views adopted by 11
Government on this important question ; and remarks .1
,that if the experiment should fail, it will be chiefly d
Thee
lowing to the bigotry of its hill Tory opponents.
Review of " Tvtler's History of Scotland" gives us a
'brief but well drawn character of Wallace, which we 1
trray be tempted to quote on some more leisure day than
the present. 'I

FOREIGN ,QUARTERLY REVIEW.
No. XXXVIII. Black, London.
. The Number before In contains one or two articles
on the subject of Modern German Literature, which,
.hacknied as is the theme, contain much interesting inH
*4
formation. We allude more especially to the critical'
,
.sketch entitled " Ludwig Llckland and the Swabian
~ Poets," in which, speaking of the proneness of the
1.
Germans to set a high store on the sentimental, rather
Vhan on the purely meditative class of poems, the Re-
viewer says—
.. " In Germany every thing connected with feeling and senti-'
ti..:ment, every thing comprehended under that most untranslate-
_able word—Gemiith, plays a much more distinguished part
i'g
*than among us. There is a kindliness, a warmness, an open-
...„,ness, a simplicity of soul about these Germans, of which we
r in this hard, practical money-making island, have no concep-
tion. We have known some of them—long-beaded, thinking
men, too—who were very children in the frankness of their
(
is natures ; bushy-bearded men, and yet gentle withal, overflow-
ing with love, redundant in affection, ready to throw themselvei•
ottt,V into every honest Christian's arms. These men have a poetry
if their own, a poetry of pure child-like feeling and fondness
it,,f heart, which it were unjust to measure by canons of purely
, British criticism. We must not quarrel with an honest
IDeutscher's " Gemiith," because when we laugh, he loves ;
.9and when we caricature, he weeps. Humour and sentiment,
it is true, often run into one another; but it is not less true
,-, lhat they arc oftentimes deadly enemies. Things may unite.
in the mind of a Sliakspeare, or a Richter, that, in the common
models of creation, annihilate one another like fire and water.
4 There is no more fatal foe to all fine feeling than your vulgar
:litimourist. And thus it is with the Englishman and the Ger
b.! man. The one acts, and laughs, and caricatures; the other
ri- thinks, and weeps, and sentimentalizes. Perhaps we have,
4't:hoseri the better part ; we arc the more healthy natures.
Ilogarth is more than a match for Werther. But let us rejoice
rith trembling : let us judge charitably. Humour is good,
but it is not the best. Reverence for the holy, and love for the
..-t.,,licautiful, are the highest acities of If we los tese, k, We lose our immortal gain.cap Thus farman
we. are willing,e onh the.
F,,,,,
cteortnnatlh principles of human nature, to redeem from vulgar
7. c mysteries of that much bespoken German " Gemiith. ,
1 We have but one objection to urge against this do..
..iquest passage. The Reviewer,
..; . ,
k, evutently meat • Ithat
r
in alludino to Hogarth,
e,
means to imp.), he was " a vulgar hu- tii4smourist"---nothing more. Now there cannot well be
K.i,ea greater error than this. Hogarth's paintings display:,
not merely broad humour, but der p feelino—as in the
last of the Marriage a-la-Mode sketches, where the
horror-stricken adulteress is represented as kneeling •
f''..with clasped hands at the feet of her outraged husband
4—and, not unfrequently,
e
power and invention of the
g rarest "
in the unequalled picture of "
Gin-•
*Lane, which he who tegartls in the light of a mere
order, as
;lacaricature, must have a more than average obtuseness
of intellect. In the notice of " Nettement's Memoirs of
i- the Duchess de Berri," :otne amusing biographical detail:-
dare given respecting this Bourbon heroine, whose wan.
k.'s'derings and " hair-breadth escapes" the other day in
'the south and west of France, are quite as romantic a 3 '
those of Prince Charles Edward, as we find them re-
corded in the animated pages of old John Home. The,
.. ,
,:uuchass appears to have been the very life and soul of '
Ir:,the Vendean Carlists. She it was, who infused con-
',i'rage into them when they were desponding ; site set ';
~.
aheman example of the most heroic self-denial ; orga-' 1
_,..razed the peasantry ; reconciled the conflicting chiefs
74and did all that possibly could be done, for an enter-'.

rite as ill-judged as it was hopeless. It' what , ,
teviewcr alleges be true, the exiled lady has goo(
.ause for complaining of the conduct of Louis Phi
ippe ; for it was through her influence with Char le
he Tenth that he 'as taken into favour at • Court
'tit gratitude is not in the catalogue of the present
French King's virtues, or Lafayette would not have
lied in retirement, nor Lafitte have been driven super-
!iliously from the Cabinet. " Zumalacarrcgui, or the
Hero's Death," is a criticism on a German tragedy,
which has made some stir in the country where it was
imblished, and has lately been translated into English.
From the extracts which the Reviewer has placed be
'ore us, we incline to think favourably of this drama,
which is by no means wanting in fire, though the sen-'
timents arc sometimes too exaggerated, and the subject
is undoubtedly ill selected. " Moral and Physica;
Effects of Large Towns," is an ably rea3oned Paper,
nary of whose arguments are drawn from Duchatelet's
account of the moral evils in the great European capi-
tals, though it is no more than an act of justice to the
Reviewer to state, that the best are those which heti

has himself suggested. Alluding to the many social
Meets under which London labours, be says "we
want a board of health and morals to superintend this
vast metropolis ; until that is established, there can be
lo systematic operations ; one set of men will be work-
ng in direct opposition to another ; charity may dif-

fuse poison instead of food, and benevolence produce
.he worst effects of Satanic misanthropy." Scarcely
a day passes but the police offices furnish proofs of
the truth of the author's remarks, as respects the ope-
ration of what is called " charity." " Rellstabb's
Tales and Novels" is a good humoured notice of thel
'fictions of one of the latest German novelists. Alto-1
gether the present Number is one highly creditable to
the Editor's judgment and diligence.

HOURS AT NAPLES.
Saunders and Otley, London, 1837.

This is a volume of poems on various subjects, from
the pen of Lady Emmeline Stuart Wortley. The
;longest in the collection is entitled " Lines written at
!Naples," and displays much feeling and elegance of
!expression, reminding us occasionally of the lamented
Mrs. Hemans.
