the subject is in its character, the writer, who is
manifestly a proficient in musical knowledge, has
contrived to render it both intelligible and entertain-
ing. Two very agreeable chapters of biography and
criticism have been suggested to the reviewers by the
recently published memoirs of Keats and Chan-
ning. A benevolent argument in behalf of " The
Distressed Needlewomen ' follows, and affords the
writer an opportunity of transferring to the Review
(rather late in the day we must acknowledge) the
immortal " Song of the Shirt," followed by an
earnest and loving commemoration of the humanity
and genius of Thomas Hood. Happily and beauti-
fully is that stanza quoted from his " Lady's
Dream "

"The wounds I might hare heard !
The human sorrow and smart I
And yet it was never in my soul
To play so ill a part ;
But evil is wrought by want of Thought,
As well as want of Beast."
Two learned works on Egypt, by Gliddon and
Hengstenberg, are analysed in a severe and exacting
manner, by one who is evidently familiar with the
antiquarian riches of the country bordering the Nile.
A note at page 539 informs us that the author of this
erudite paper, the Rev. Charles William Chalklen, is
recently deceased. Mr. George Poulett Scrope, M.P.,
again seizes the "Irish Difficulty," and strives
to discover " How it must be met." It would not
have been difficult to recognise bis peculiar mode of
reasoning, even had not the authorship been indicated
by his initials. One of the reviewers, hiding hi 3

glyph "N T- ON," examines from first to last the

Sir J. DUKE asked if any other gentleman had a

Mr. T. PARRY proposed Mr. T. Cotterell as a fit and
proper person to serve as a common councilman, and
handed it in.

Sir J. DUKE said that in consequence of the new Act
of Parliament the ballot should commence the following
day at ten o'clock, and close at four precisely.
Mr. COTTERELL complained that although a lease-
holder of seven houses, and a ratepayer for fifteen years,

tion list.

Mr. MASTERMAN also complained of being, a% a free-
man, deprived by the late Act, the 11th and 12th
Victoria, of the privileges he enjoyed under .the 11th
George I. Under the latter Act, to be an occupier was
sufficient, but by the 11th and 12th Victoria his name

Sir J. DUKE said that in a conversation he had with
Lord John Russell on the subject of the Bill, he com-
plained of that and other things in the Bill, and the
Noble Lord promised to have them rectified.

separately, and called for a show of hands, when it
appearing that Mr. Henry John Lies was in a minority,
a poll was demanded in his behalf, which takes place
this day at ten o'clock and closes at four.

the supremacy of those States, and that the mode
in which the adhesion of the Netherlands 'had been
given was such that it might at any time with
draw with honour, should any disturbances be ap-

Second Chamber of the States General on Saturday,
the Minister of the Interior gave some explanation
respecting the adhesion of the Netherlands to the
temporary treaty concluded between Prussia and
Austria on the 30th of September.

THB AUTOGRAPH LETTER OF THE CZAR TO THE SULTAN.

The following is said to be the substance of the
letter addressed by the Emperor NICHOLAS to the
SULTAN, and transmitted by Prince RADZITIL :
" The revolutionary element has been suppressed.
The Hungarian war is at an end. I send to you my
aide-do-camp, who will submit to you various demands
calculated to insure the maintenance of order."

The reply of the SULTAN to this arrogant epistle
(forwarded by FUAD EFFENDI) is no less laconic ; its
tenor is pretty nearly as follows :--
"Your aide-decamp has demanded from me the ex-
tradition of the Hungarian refugees. This demand
being of a nature to cast odium on the two Powers, I
entreat your Imperial Majesty not to insist on the
point."
