FRANCE.
M. Emile de Girardin has never been one of the
ardent admirers of the National Assembly, which has
perhaps been more bitterly attacked in the P resse
than in any other journal. The following testimony
to the merits of the Assembly, which appears in the
Prease, and evidently from the pen of the editor,
may be therefore considered as not going beyond the
bounds of truth, at all events:—
"The National Assembly has done much for the re-
establishment of order, for the repression of revolu-
tionary agitation, and the security of life and property.
been more Republican than Liberal.
It has, perhaps,
It has given all to what it b!lieved to be the
Conservative interest; it has given the state of
siege, the dictatorship, deportations, the arbitrary
suspension
of the public press. History will point
to these things as its fault, and so will democracy. But
if this fault has an excuse, it will be found, no doubt, in
the indifference with which the country witnessed the sa-
crifice of some of these rights, the conquest of which has
cost so much blood, and the profanation of which should
never be permitted, especially by the hypocritical and
perjured head of a Government of liberty. In a
word, the National Assembly is about to retire after
having led France through the defiles of anarchy, in
the midst of enormous difficulties, of terrible crises,
and without having caused the erection of a political
scaffold, without a single interest of those which France
represents in the world being compromised, leaving to
her liberty in her future career, the sovereignty of her
rights, the inviolability of the principles she has always
maintained, and which become mingled with moral life in
the development of civilization. The task was difficult,
but it has been performed. History will not forget it,
and if the Assembly cannot be admired for its grandeur,
it will be honoured for its wisdom."

" A few days ago," says a Vienna letter of the 31st
ult., "as the EMPEROR was leaving the Opera with
his mother, the Archduchess SOPHIA, a man suddenly
presented himself before her, and asked, " Where is
the EMPEROR ?" The Archduchess frightened, an•
swered "At Schcenbrunn." The same evening the
man went to the Palace, and demanded an audience,
but he was told to return the next day. It turned
out, on inquiry, that he was an escaped lunatic, named
DARVAS. He was secured.

The Vienna correspondent of the Independance of
Brussels writes on the 30th ult —" A letter, which I
have just received from St. Petersburgh, confirms the
statement already made of the difference between the
Porte and Ilussia having been completely arranged;
and it is added, that this has been done without the
into rvention of England or Fracce."
It is announced by the Vienna Gazette of the 31st
ult., that between 2,000 and 3,000 of the Hungarian
refugees at Widdin have, in spite of the remonstrances
of their chiefs, resolved to return to Hungary, and
have already placed themselves at the disposal of the
Austrian authorities.

The Presburg Gazette contains an official notifica•
tion that General HAYNAU had ordered the release of
56 persons detained, or condemned to brief periods of
imprisonment, for political offences.
The Austrian Government has authorised the
publication at Pesth of a journal in the Hungarian
language. It is called the Hungarian Gazette, and
is to be edited by F. SZYLAGY, of the Hungarian
Academy, a man of moderate opinions, and opposed to
the late revolution.

The German Reform states that the Austrian
Cabinet has approved of a project for establishing a
bank for making advances to the tradesmen of Pesth
on deposit of merchandise. The same journal states
that the Government has ordered a financier to ascer-

tain if it be possible to indemnify the `solders of the
notes issued by Kossuni.
A letter from Vienna of the 31st ult. says :—" The
Customs'Unioßbetween Austria and Germany, which
is about to be entered into, is to be established in
such a way as to cause the interests of each state to
be respected, and its necessities and wishes to be
satisfied as far as possible. To attain this object it
will be necessary to introduce reforms common to the
states which form the three principal commercial and
political groups Austria, the Zollverein, and
Northern Germany.
The Wiener Zeitung of the 30th ult. contains an
Imperial ordinance establishing a tax on income for
the expense of the army alone.
The Tribunals of First Instance arid of Appeal
have acquitted Dr. BISCHHOFF, who will be imme-
diately set at liberty.
The Breslau Gazette says that although Austria
has availed herself of the assistance of Russia, she
nevertheless has but little confidence in her, which is
evident from Austria having ordered the defiles near
Dukla, Jublunka, and Przymysl to be carefully for-
tified, these defiles leading from Gallicia into Hungary.

A telegraphic dispatch from Berlin, of the 3d, ad-
dressed to the Cologne Gazette, announces that the
Second Chamber of Prussia adopted on that day the
bills relative to the Eastern' Westphalian, and Saar-
bruck Railways. The First Chamber adopted several
clauses of the Constitution. _

The Berlin State Gazette of the 31st ult. announces
officially the entrance of the Free City of Lubeck
into the Federal State; and the Berlin correspondent
of the Independance of Brussels expresses the opinion
that this will lead to a modification in a free-trade
spirit of the commercial system of the Customs'
Union.

TAIT'S.

Tait's Magazine is more than usually excellent this
month. Among its most interesting contributions
are an article on " Our Anglo-Saxon Empire," a
" Memoir of Madame Sontag," in which, in comparing
that singer to Madame Pasta, it is observed, "In
Pasta art was so complete that it concealed art, and
seemed to be pure nature, but in Sontag you always
felt the presence of science." The most attractive
article in Tait's is entitled " Ainicitiee Shakspearianm,"
from which we extract the following observations :
" Friendship is based on similarity and contrast. An
individual possessing a certain definite complement of
qualities, developes them in his intercourse with his
fellow-men. To a class or series of these, he discovers
an exactly similar and correspondent class or series in
another person. Between these in himself, and those in
the person, a sympathetic communication is established
—a moral telegraph is erected. Like the mutually at-
tracing poles of the needle, they entice one another to
a junction. A connexion thus formed acquires firmness
and strength in proportion to the number of similar at-
tributes, and the frequency with which they are brought
into harmonious contact. To another class he finds no
correspondent class; but, instead, a class of which he is
either totally or partially devoid. These are qualities
fitted, by their nature, to excite admiration, esteem, love.
Thus, both classes sre endowed with attracting
proper-
ties; and the result of their combined action is the con-
summation of a union which is consolidated and perpe-
tuated by reciprocal obligations, and the lapse of time.
The two friends have henceforth no secrets; soul is open
to soul, and heart to heart. In fact, there is a real moral
oneness—a oneness so complete, that Horace, in his
beautiful ode " ad Virgilium," exclaims, " 0 dimidittin
animae ?ileac !"—O thou half of my soul ! This invests
the relation with a mysterious and religious sanctity.
The love which a generous, high-minded man cherishes
for his friend has in it a purity, a holiness, that resem-
bles the disinterested and sublime affection which the
Deity himself bears to a sinless intelligence. Friend-
sh:p, thus hallowed and dignified, was worthy the pencil
of our great artist. The picture has been sketched, the
likeness has been drawn, and no one who follows us in
the following examination will hesitate to say—which is
the highest eulogium we can bestow—that it has been
executed with his usual felicity."

THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY.

The papers composing the number of this periodi-
cal for the present month are clever and varied as usual.
We may mention, as a strange fact, that the present
awful condition of Ireland is not referred to in her
national magazine. Indeed we can well conceive how
very uninviting must be that theme at this moment to
an honest Irishman, and we are therefore disposed to
attribute the omission to other feelings than indiffer-
ence. It opens with a learned and scientific paper en-
titled "Physical Geography—the Air," introducing
some very interesting extracts from Humboldt and
others on the currents of the ocean and atmosphere,
the gradations of heat and electricity, &c. "Recol-
lections of a Circassian Campaign," a translation from
the journal of a German officer in the Russian service,
is full of new and stirring incidents. The " Portrait
Gallery" is embellished with an etching of the much
re.spected father of the Munster Bar, George Bennett,
Eig ~Q.CI, a name, in the words of his biographer—
'• AszociaNd v,ith honest worth, private virtues, per-
sonal excellence, and professional ability; the name of
ooe posse sed of that amount of
.natural good sense and
fairness of mind, which, in its higher departments, is a
form of genius ; who has lived for half a century in
his profession; has won the esteem of competitors and
companions, the confidence of the Bench and
.the jury-
, box, every attestation to rnsrit which public opinion
and private respect could ordinarily bestow; and yet ho
is still, as we sketch him, plain George Bennett, without
efficial rank or judicial elevation.
There is not one who has the happiness of knowing
Mr. Bennett, either in his public or private capacity,
who will not give a hearty concurrence to the estimate

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 31st ult. have arrived.
The Spanish Chambers re-assembled on the 28th,
but without any ceremonial, beyond the reading of
the decree of the QUEEN for the re-opening.. The
Senate nominati-d its bureau ; but the Chamber of
Depu'ies, not being in sufficient number, could
only nominate a provisional bureau. The Minister
of Foreign Affairs (NARVAEZ) had presented to the
QUEEN and KING the draft of a project for regulat-
ing the Royal household. The QUEEN made some re-
serves with respect to it. There was a talk of the
resignation of eminent palace functionaries, and of a
Ministerial modification.
A letter from Madrid of the 31st says
" It was said yesterday that toe Narvai z Ministry had
resigned, and that SI Isturits had been charged to form
a new Cabinet. On the return of the Queen from the
theatre last evening, she found all the Ministers waiting

THE UNITED

.~

LIVERPOOL, MOND._
The British and North American 1107r-Mail
steam ship Caledonia, which left Boston on the 24th
ult., and Halifax cn the 26th, has arrived at this port,
with her Majesty's mails and a large number of pas•
sengers.

~hT~~

She reports the arrival of the Niagara at New
York, and the Hibernia, which sailed hence for Ws-
ton, had called at Halifax previous to the Caledonia
arriving at that port on her homeward voyage.
The news generally of an uninteresting cha-
racter.

The dispute with the French Ambassador had been
settled au
The returns of the cotton and grain crops were still
unsatisfactory.
Much excitement prevailed at New York relativo
to the forthcoming state election, which was to take
place on the Ist November. The Democrats were
making great exertions to rescue the " Empire State"
from Whiggerv. The tone of dissatisfaction which
the press assumes with the personnel of the Cabinet,
contributes towards the advancement of the Locofoco
interest througout the union.
A state convention was held at Concord, in New
Hampshire, at which the Democrats nominated their
candidate for the governorship of the State.
A great fairof the South Carolina Institute had
been held during the week in Charleston. It was
well attended, and being the first ever announced
there, created much interest. It was generally con-
sidered that the application of the Mormons for the
admission of their territory as a distinct State into
the Union, under the title of the State of Deseret,
would not be entertained by Congress.
A new line of steam-ship between New York and
Antwerp has been projected by some merchants in
the former city.
From Canada we learn that the agitation to pro-
mote annexation still continues. A meeting of those
in favour of annexation had been held on the 17th
ult., which was well attended, and several strong
speeches were made on the occasion.
A meeting of delegates of the British American
League v.,as convened for Toronto, on the Ist of
November.

Some excitement prevailed in Montreal, in cense.-
quence of a special assessment being made to pay for
the injury done in the late riots to property.
The business of Montreal was very good, notwith-
standing the agitation still carried on amongst the
political community.

SPAIN.
Madrid journals of the 31st ult. have arrived.
The Spanish Chambers re-assembled on the 28th,
but without say ceremonial, beyond the reading of
the decree of the QUEEN for the re-opening. The
Senate nominated its bureau ; but the Chamber of
Deputies, not being in sufficient number, could
only nominate a provisional bureau. The Minister
of Foreign Affairs (:I.tavAnz) had presented to the
QUEEN and KING the draft of a project for regulat-
ing the Royal household. The QUEEN made some re-
serves uith respect to it. There was a talk of the
resignation of eminent palace functionaries, and of a
Ministerial nu:dification.
A letter from Madrid of the 31st says
" It was said yesterday that the Narvatz Ministry had
resigned, and that Al Isturitz had boen charged to form
a new Cabinet. On the return of the Queen from the
theatre last evening, she found all the Ministers waiting

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
The Lord Chancellor sat in his court in the Old Hall,
Lincoln's Inn, to day.

ROBERTS V. ROBERTS. -JUDGMENT.

His LORDSHIP gave judgment to day in this case,
'which has been argued before him for two days. The
arguments were concluded yesterday. The case came
bcfor, his Lordship upon appeal from the decision of the
Vice Chancellor of England, refusing to grant a new
trial of an issue directed to the court for the purpose of
trying whether the plaintiff was the next of kin of
Catherine Lloyd, who left considerable property in
Wales, and died intestate. The jury found in
favour of the claim of the plaintiff, and the
Vice-Chancellor of England having, upon motion for
that purpose, refused to grant a new trial, the parties
appealed to this branch of the court. The Lord Chan-
cellor, after going at length into the case, dismissed the
motion tor a new trial, with costs, and decreed that the
plaintiff was ono of the next of kin of the intestate, and
directed an inquiry to the Master for the purpose of as-
cei tainiug who wese the other next of kin.

FOLLETT V. JEFFREYS.

The further arguments on this part-hetrd motion oc-
cupied the Court the remainder of the morning.

having disposed of the case of "Robertson v. Shelton,"
which stood for judgment, proceeded to hear motions
and petitions, which occupied the Court the whole day.

TAIT S.

Taits Magazine is more than usually excellent this
month. Among its most interesting contributions
are an article on " Our Anglo-Saxon Empire," a
" Memoir of Madame Sontag," in which, in comparing
that singer to Madame Pasta, it is observed, "In
Pasta art was so complete that it concealed art, and
seemed to be pure nature, but in Sontag you always
felt the presence of science." The most attractive
article in Taits is entitled "Amicitiee Shakspearianw,"
from which we extract the following observations:—
" Friendship is based on similarity and contrast. An
individual possessing a certain definite complement of
qualities, developes them in his intercourse with his
tellow-men. To a class or series of these, he discovers
an exactly similar and correspondent class or series in
another person. Between these in himself, and those in
the person, a sympathetic communication is established
—a moral telegraph is erected. Like the mutually at-
tracting poles of the needle, they entice one another to
a junction. A connexion thus formed acquires firmness
and strength in proportion to the number of similar at-
tributes, and the frequency with which they are brought
ieto harmonious contact. To another class he finds no
correspondent class; but, instead, a class of which he is
either totally or partially devoid. These are qualities
fitted, by their nature, to excite admiration, esteem, love.
Thus, both classes sre endowed with attracting proper-
' ties; and the result of their combined action is the con-
summation of a union which is consolidated and perpe-
tuated by reciprocal obligations, and the lapse of time.
The two friends have henceforth no secrets; soul is open
to soul, and heart to heart. In fact, there is a real moral
oneness—a oneness so complete, that Horace, in his
beautiful ode " ad Virgiliutu," exclaims, " 0 aimidium
animae meae 1"-0 thou half of my soul I. This invests
the relation with a mysterious and religious sanctity.
The love which a generous, high-minded man cherishes
for his friend has in it a purity, a holiness, that resem-
bles the disinterested and sublime affection which the
Deity himself bears to a sinless intelligence.. Friend 7
ship, thus hallowed and dignified, was worthy the pencil
of our great artist. 'The picture has been sketched, the
likeness has been drawn, and no one who follows us in
the following examination will hesitate to saywhich is
the highest eulogium we can bestow—that it has been
executed with his usual felicity."
London, England, 1849-11-06

PRUSSIA.

A telegraphic dispatch from Berlin, of the 3d, ad-
drrssed to the cologne Gazette, announces that the
Second Chamber of Prussia adopted on that day the
bills relative to the EiAern, Westphalian, and Saar-
bruck R.ilways. The First Chamber adopted several

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

HAMBURGH, AEG. 21.—Much apprehension has
been entertained here that Prussia would signally re-
quite Hamburgh for the uncalled•for insult offered
by some of our citizens to the Prussian troops. A
proclamation has, however, been issued by our Senate
this morning, which is calculated to allay all unne-
cessary apprehension on that ground. The Prussian
Government is resolved to keep the city occupied by
its troops only till such time as every thing shall be
perfectly regulated for the free and unmolested pas-
sage of the numerous troops who must necessarily
pass and repass through the city on their way to and
from the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. The
Senate animadverts severely and justly on the ano-
maly of a free and independent city like Hamburgh
becoming the centre of a lawless faction. It as-
serts that the Senate had in no wise oc-
casioned either mediately or immediately the
entrance of the Prussian troops on their occupa-
tion of the city, but that the charge of quartering
them must now necessarily devolve upon the inno-
cent burgher as well as upon those whose culpable
excesses gave rise to that measure on the part of the
Prussian Cabinet. According to letters from Kiel,
and other parts, there is much general indignation
against the Hamburghers for their conduct to the
Prussian soldiers, who are in no wise responsible for the
policy of their Government,ancl whose behaviour where-
ever they have been quartered has been highly com-
mended.
COPENHAGEN, AUG. 18.—All the insurgent pri-
sours of war were, yesterday morning, conveyed to
Alsen, for the purpose of being exchanged.
The official report has just been published of the

battle of Frederica. It is a lengthy document of nine
folio pages. The strength of the Danish forces in
that battle is given at 19,404; the rest-rve, however,
consisting of 3;208 men, did not, for the most part,
take a share in the engagement. The Danes were
therefor© two to one of the Schleswig-Ilolsteins.
The loss of the Danes is given at 258 killed and
1,639 wounded ; among whom 25 officers are given
as killed, and 50 wounded, while 30 were taken pri-
soners.—Hamburgh papers, Aug. 21.

MEETING AT SOUTHAMPTON.

Southampton has, like many of the other towns of
the kingdom, spoken out on behalf of the patriotic
Hungarians. The inhabitants assembled in public
meeting on Tuesday evening, in the Town-hall,
which was filled to overflowing with an earnest and
enthusiastic auditory. The meeting was convened
by the Mayor (George Laishley, Esq.) in accordance
with a requisition signed by nearly 100 of the most
respectable inhabitants, including the sheriff of the
borough and twelve other members of the town coun-
cil. Amongst the gentlemen present were (in addition
to the Mayor) the sheriff, the late mayor, Mr. Alder-
man Brooks, Mr. Alderman Palk, Mr. Councillor
Clark, Mr. Councillor Ellyett, Mr. Councillor Morse,
the Rev. T. Morns, the Rev. A. M‘Laren, the Rev.
J. C. Richmond (of the episcopal church in America),
Lieutenant General Thackeray, and others.
Many excellent speeches were made, and were re-
ceived with great applause by the audience, who
entered with great warmth and enthusiasm into the
spirit of the meeting. The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted :
"That this meeting, fully recognising the right of
every independent nation to regulate its own internal
affairs, views with feelings of abhorrence and indigna-
tion the unjust and unprovoked invasion of Hungary by
the armed hordes of Russia, and desires to record its
most sincere and earnest sympathy with the brave and
patriotic Hungarians in the heroic efforts they are
making to preserve their national independence and free
institutions from the destruction with which they are
threatened by the two leviathan despotisms of Europe.'
" That a memorial, expressive of the sense of this
meeting, and signed by the Mayor on its behalf, be pre-
sented to her Majesty, through her Majesty's principal
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, earnestly praying
for the immediate recognition of the de facto Govern-
ment of Hungary, as a measure called for not less by
justice and sound policy than with a view to put a stop
to the sacrifice of human life, and the horrible atrocities
which have marked the progress of the invading armies
through so many of the towns and cities of llungary."
" That the best thanks of this meeting be given to the
conductors of the Daily News, The Sun, and the other
metropolitan and provincial journals, in which the cause
of this gallant people has been honestly and fearlessly
advocated.

DEATH OF THE DEAN OF TUAM.—The Very
