BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.

The " Sexton's Danz-liter," by a writer who signs him-
self " Archasas," is very properly placed first in the present
number. It is a fine poem, fall of pure and lofty thoughts,
simply and unsffswetilv cxpresscd. We trace something
of the manner of Wor.:ls.vorth's " Lyric tl Ballads" in it ;
but it is no servile imitation—or at any rats. a very slight
ana superficial one—for the author's tl,ooghts and feelings
are all his own. His sketch of the Old S. xton contains
One or two happily developed traits of character, such, for
instance, as his professional mode of regarding humanity as
" awaiting but the shroud and p 41," with the sole exception
of his favourite child, whose death, so checrful and happy
was the child's nature, seemed to him quite an impossible
event. We subjoin this characteristic p tssage :
One daughter, little Jane, had he,
The silent Sexton's only child,
And when she laughed aloud and free,
The grey ()A Sexton smiled.

Ali else to him appeared as dead,
Awaiting but the shroud and pall,
It seemed that to himself be said—
' I soon shall dig the graves of all.'

And beast, and man, and home, and wife,
He saw with cold, accustomed eye ;
Jane only looked so full of life,
As if that she could never die.

The Sexton's :laughter soon ripens into a lovely woman,
as We learn by these striking lines :
Years flowed away, and never brut ;ht
The weary weight of care to Jana ;
They gave emotion, wonder, thought,
The strength of life without the pa'n.

To her new beauty largely given
From deeper fountains loukud ands piled,
And like a morning dream from heaven,
The woman gleamed within the child,

'ithdrawn was she from passing eyes
Ey more than fortune's out ward law ;
ily bashful thoughts like silent sighs,
Ry Feeling's lone, retiring awe.

•
The last line is replete with expression, and could have
been written by none but a true poet. Mr. Worlswortb,
we are sure, will appreciate its deep meaning. The close
of the poem, descriptive of the utter desol.ition cf the old
Sexton spirit after the death of his daughter, is highly
. wrought, ipto not. too much so
:--
Upon the spring, clad fields and woods__
. - - the churchY-.=*----""-Tatemwen-c-ower,
The warm pure daylight softly broods,
And fills with life the morning hour.

11,e vast sepulchral yew.tree waves,
And feels the sunshine cheer the shade,
And e'en the low and grassy graves
Appear in living slumber laid.

The only sad and helpless thing,
That May.day makes not less forlorn,
Is that old man, to whom the spring
Is dead, and dead the breezy morn.

These live not now, for all is dead
With her who lies below the sod ;
His daughter from his life is fled,
.And leaves but dust by spectres trod.

The smooth sweet air is blowing round,
It is a Spirit of hope to all ;
It whispers o'er the wakening ground,
And countless daisies hear the call.

It mounts and sings away to heaven,
And 'mid each light and lovely cloud i
To it the lark's loud joys are given,
And young leaves answer it aloud.

It skims above the flat green meadow,
And darkening sweeps the gray millstream ;
Along the hill it drives the shadow,
And sports and warms in the skiey beam.

But round that hoar and haggard man
It cannot shed a glimpse of gladness;
He wastes beneath a separate ban,
An exile to a world of sadness.

" Thoughts on Orpheus" is the production of an accom-
plished classical scholar; but why is poor Ovid mauled so
terribly ? If ho have not quite so much tenderness as
Virgil, he has infinitely more fancy, and ease, and flexibility
of versification. There is nothing in Latin literature su-
perior to that noble piece of rhetoric, the contest between
" Ajax and Ulysses ;" to the earnest eloquence and dignity
of the analysis of the Pythagorean system ; or the sweet-
ness and plaintive tone that breathes through the tale of
Ceyx and Halcyone. We must confess to a strong par-
tiality for Ovid ; he is our favourite Latin poet—though
we grant he is at times too wordy and redundant in his
descriptions—and has penned a line, addressed by Lao-
damia to Protesilaus, " inter mille rates, tua sit millesima
puppis," which Virgil has not surpassed in tenderness and
simplicity. " Casimir Perier" is a spirited biographical
sketch, but too much is made of the subject. It is fairly
crushed beneath the weight of panegyric let fall upon it.
Perier was not a statesman to be remembered beyond his
day. He had energy of character, but he wanted con-
sistency and elevation of mind. Ile mounted to power by
aid of the revolutionary ladder, and then kicked it con-
""'"'"`litly from und." hie coo*, ns Mirabeau would have
done had lie lived. Luckily, he died just in time to save
himself from such a fall as Lafitte subsequently met with,
for with his irascibility of temper he never could have
borne long with Louis Phillippe. "My First Circuit" is
a lively, gossipping paper, from the pen of a young bar-
rister. The sketch of the Ranter's Love Feast at Li-
verpool is capital. " The Strollers" is a very passable,
common-place story, whose great recommendation is its
brevity. On the whole the Number is a good one.

BENTLEY'S „MISCELLANY.
Boz, in his Oliver Twist, indulges us with a love-scene
this month, but we cannot congratulate him on his suc-
cess. His genius is of too vigorous and comic a character
to be able to deal adequately with such delicate per-
plexities. He should leave them to Mr. D'lsraeli, who
is at home in inditing sentimental " slang-whangery."
We subjoin the sketch of Mr. Bumble, the parish Beadle,
after his marriage with Mrs. Corney, which is in the author's
most delightful manner :
Mr. Bumble sat in the workhouse parlour, with his eyes moodily
fixed on the cheerless grate, whence, as it was summer time, no brighter
gleam proceeded than the reflection of certain sickly rays of the sun,
which were sent back from its cold and shining surface. A paper
fly cage dangled from the ceiling, to which he occasionally raised his
eyes in gloomy thought ; and, as the heedless insects hovered round the
gaudy net-work, Mr. Bumble would heave a deep sigh, while a more
gloomy shadow overspread his countenance. Mr. Bumble was medi-
tating, and It might be that the insects brought to mind some painful
passage in his own past life.
Nor was Mr. Bumble's gloom the only thing calculated to awaken a
pleasing melancholy in the bosom of a spectator. There were not
wanting other appearances, and those closely connected with his own
person, which announced that a great change had taken place in the
position of his affairs. The laced coat and the cocked hat, where
were they ? sti:l score knee-breeches and dark cotton stockings on
his nether limbs, but they were not Me breeches. The coat was wide-
skirted, and in that respect like the coat, but, oh, how different ! The
mighty cocked-hat Has replaced by a modest round one. Mr. Bumble
was no longer a beadle.
There are some promotions in life which, independent of the more
substantial rewards they offer, acquire eecular value and dignity from
the coats and waistcoats connected with them. A field-marshal has
his uniform, a bishop his silk apron, a counsellor his silk gown, a
beadle his cocked hat. Strip the bishop of his apron, or the beadle of
his cocked hat and gold lace, what are they ? Men,—mere men. Dig.
city, and even holiness top, sometimes, are more questions of coat and
waistcoat than some people imagine.
Mr. Bumble had married Mrs. Corney, and was master of the work.
house. Another beadle had come into power, and on him the cocked.
hat, gold.laced coat, and staff; had all three descended.
And to.morrow two months it was done I" said Mr. Bumble with a
sigh• "It seems a nee."
fir. Bumble might have meant that he had concentrated a whole
existeore of .

- ..•
space of eight wecl,3 ; but the sigh,
.—th,re was a vast deal of meaning in the sign.
" I sold myself," said Mr. Bumble, pursuing the same train of re-
flection, " for six teaspoons, a pcir of sugar.tongs, and a milk pot, with
a small quantity of second-hand furniture and twenty pound in money.
I tent very reasonable—cheap, dirt cheap."
Cruickshank's Illustration of this rich secnc—or rather
of the one that immediately follows it--is replete with the
richest drollery. The " Legend of Walter Chide" con-
tains some clever and ingenious versification, but the tale
is needlessly spun out. The author's sketch of the heroic
eay.rlir.r, Lord Falkland, is pourtrayed in quite a con
(more spirit. " Paddy Flynn" is a laughable anecdote,
told in a truly Irish extravagant style of fun. Pat is in-
s it'd unexpcctea:y to dine with the Hon. Alemberof Cork ;
a n debting in indi;ent circumstances, and moving in the
lor walks of lifo, is quite astonished at the idea of such
an honour, which was proffered to him a little before elec-
tdion time, His account of his numerous vagaries at the
tnnerable, told in the richest possible brogue, would cira-
r"lize well. and Power would act " Paddy" to admiration.
" Coronation Miseries" is a seasonable article, descriptive
of some of the ceremonies that took place at the coronation
of George the Fourth. Griffone" is a story of the Pe-
ninsular, from the pen of Captain Alarryatt ; one or two
of the descriptions display much vigor. " The Good-for-
Notting" is an az
the rceable tale, drawn apparently from

NEW MON THL Y hfAGAZINE.
We are glad that the Imhan Sporting Pipers are con-
tinued. They are written with uncommon spirit, by one
wh"' it is plain to see in every page, has been an eye-wit-
ness of all that he describe.; with such graphic skill. The
sketch of a crouching tiger
one of the preparing for his fatal spring in
great western jungles ; and of the combat with
the wild elephant amid the same savage scenery, are drawn
with as much case an,l ei"v"liess as even Nimro,l
could have exhibited. The " Drama of Italy" is a plea-
sant critical essay, which, however, tells us little or nothing
we did not know before. The first chapter in " The lesson
of Life," which is from the practised pen of Jerrold, and is
styled " a household romance," describes the fevered sleep
of a conscience-stricken tyrant in a truly impressive man-
ner. The story, we perceive, is to be continued ; we can-
"(it, therefore, in this early stage of it pret,nd to offer any
thing like an analysis. The dialogue portion is written
with ‘igor, and with an earnestness and an appearance of
reality, for which the author is indebted to his long ac-
"ui4tance.with the stage. " Tereza, a tale of Revolu-

tionized Rome," abounds in incidents, as is usually the case
with Mr. Grattan's works .of fiction. In the article en-
titled " Shakspcare's Historical Plays considered his-
torically" much useful renarth is manifeged: The Sub-
ject, her ever, is not treated in a sufficiently popular man-
nr•r. " The Manager's Note BoA" contains. this moath
biographicll notices of Mrs. Wells, and Jack Edwin, whom
most of our fathers can remember as the most favorite low
comedian of his day—the Liston of the last generation.
Mrs. Wells's memoir reads quite like a romance. " Papers
of a Gentleman-at-Arms" have a sprightly ,:tin of satire
running through them. In puticular, they contain some
humorous allusions to the Coronation. From the Sport-
ing paper, the " Great Western Jungle," we quote an ex-
tract descriptive of some English Nimrods' encounter with
a wild elephant in the depths of an Indian wood :

But Heaven s; re ns !—what's that ? shouted the Doctor, sprinting
behind Mansfield, and seizing him by the arms, as a tremendous crash
was heard amongst the bamboos, accompanied by a shrill scream like the
sound of a erack'd trumpet.

" Huttee! lluttee" (an elephant! an elephant !) shouted the Jag-
Erardar, darting behind the shelter of a tree, and beckoning the others to
fellow his example.

" Down 1 down fur your lives!" exclaimed Mansfield, in an audible
whisper, at the same time crouching behind a tree and cocking his rifle.
" This must be the far.famed solitary elephant, which has been com-
mitting such ravages of late on the edge of the forest; and, if we can
manage to kill him, it will be a glorious victory." The Doctor gleaned
aloud in agony of spirit. " Now, lads, list to me, and if you only be•
have steadily, the day is our own. Keep perfectly still till he shows
himself when I whistle he will lower his head to listen from whence
the smirk! comes—mind you take a steady aim at the hollow in his fore-
head, just above the insertion of the trunk, and, when I whistle a se-
c-Aid time, fire together; but take care that you only fire one barrel,
reserve the other and dash off, two to the right and two to the left, so
that if he does not fall, he may find a clear space to make his first ru,h.
They arc stupid, short-sightcd animals, and if you keep quiet we shall
probably have time to reload before he discovers us; at all events we
shall have our second barrels ready. Now, mind these directions ; and
you, Doctor, do, like a good fellow, try to keep your wits about you ;
everything depends upon our steadiness, and the slightest mistake may
cost us our lives."

" The Lord have mercy on us ! This is awful work !" groaned the
poor Doctor, casting a rueful glance at his favourite Mons Meg.
There was a moment of breathless silence; another fearful crash was
heard, and the gigantic brute, bursting forth into the open space, bran-
dished aloft his ponderous trunk, like a knight entering the lists defy all
corners, and screamed forth his shrill note of defiance. He was a stu-
pendous animal, a perfect mountain of flesh, full twelve feet high, with
enormous tusks, and his little twinkling red eye glared with the fire of
madness.

Flourishing his trunk about he snuffed the tainted air, and his scream
of rage, as he stamped upon the ground, announced that he was aware
of the close proximity of his enemies, although he had not yet decided
In which direr-Wan Lo -mak. his ho charge,.
" Now lads, steady, and reserve your fire till proper time," and Mans.
field give a low whistle.
The elephant started, cocked his ears, and bent down his head in the
attitude of listening. He was just in the right position, and Mansfield
was in the act of raising his rifle, when, crack went Mons Meg, with a
report like a six pounder, and the Doctor, throwing down his weapon,
took to his heels,-.roaring lustily that the monster was after him. The
poor Doctor's nerves had got the better of him, and, by an involuntary
twitch of his forefingers, he had pulled the trigger when he had least
expected it.
Mansfield and Charles fired, and both balls took effect in the head of
the elephant, making the blood flow copiously; but being discharged
almost at random, and not planted in the correct spot, they only acted
as stimulants to hiss rage. Uttering a shrill scream, he dashed madly
forward, his mouth wide open, his tail on end, and his trunk upraised,
to crush all which opposed his headlong career.
Mansfield and Charles darted to one side, and fled for shelter behind
the stein of a large teak tree; but the poor Doctor, whose senses were
completely bewildered, ran blindly forward, and his red jacket, being
much too conspicuous an object to escape the notice of the enraged
elephant, his fate appeared inevitable. In vain did the panting wretch
twist, and turn, and dodge amongst the trees, like a hunted jackal.
The destroyer was close at his heels, Lllowing every turn with the per-
severance of mortal hate. His strength was failing fast, and the fearful
chase appeared to be drawing to a close. The trunk of the elephant
was already stretched forward to grasp him, when he made a sudden
turn ; the elephant overshot his mark, and, for one moment, was at
fault, apparently uncertain in which direction his victim had fled. The
Doctor, seeing his advantage, began, with all diligence, to climb the tree
behind which he had sheltered himself. He was already several feet
from the ground, and his arm was outstretched to grasp a branch which
would have raised him to a place of safety, when the elephant, catching
a hasty glimpse of him, dashed at him with redoubled fury, twisted his
trunk round his legs, hurled him to the ground, rushed upon him, as he
lay, stunned and bleeding, and kneeling down, drove at him, furiously,
with his enormous tusks, burying them up to the very root.
At this moment, Mansfield, who had followed the chase, dodging
cautiously from tree to tree, in hopes that some lucky turn might give
him a steady shot at the elephant's head, came in sight of the bloody
scene.

" The Lord have mercy on his soul, for he is beyond the aid of man!"
exclaimed he, dropping the but-end of his rifle to the ground, and lean.
ing against a tree, sick and giddy at the ghastly sight.
The elephant rose from his knees, picked up the body of the unfortu-
nate Doctor in his trunk, tossed it to a short distance, and stood gazing
on his victim, with flaming eyes, as if gathering fresh breath, before he
rushed at him again, to finish the work of death, by trampling him
with his feet.

" By heavens you shall not complete your bloody work 1" muttered
Mansfield, grinding his teeth, and raising his rifle with a steadiness of
hand which never forsook him, even in the most desperate situations.
The deadly bullet sped true to the mark, entering the eye, and burying
itself in the brain of the elephant. The gigantic brute uttered one
shrill scream of mingled rage and pain, and, sinking slowly to the
ground, rolled over like a falling tower.

TILE METROPOLITAN MAGAZINE.
Saunders and Ot .

Most of the articles in this Number are sufficiently inte-
resting to be read with pleasure by the ordinary readers of
tuazazioe tales, but none of shem so rise above mediocrity
as to call forth any expression of peculiar admiration. The
" Loaded Dice" by Banim, is not equal to our expectations.
Than Mr. Banim, there are few living authors greater
in many respects, but then the subjects of his tales must be
Ireland, and the wrongs and oppresions of Irishmen. When
lie has to deal with the deep or subtle workings of hearts
accustomed to other than the conventionalities of Irish life,
he rarely acquits himself to our entire satisfaction. The
" Beau" is .a very pretty tale—prettily told, but whether it
be from the German or not, we cannot vouch. The
" Note-book of an Irish Barrister" does great justice to the
memory of the late Baron, Sir William Smith. We have
met with few sketches of judicial personages, drawn
with so bold and masterly a conception of character.
The "Courtier of the Reign of Charles II," by
Mrs. Gore is continued in this Number, as is " Sal-
vator Rosa, or the Two Portraits." Mrs. Crawford's
Auto-biographical sketches are " continued," we trust
more to the delight of other readers than they have been
to us, for seldom have we read more indifferent es-
says. The " Deception," by Mrs. Abdy, is neither more
nor less than a re-dishing-up of an entertainment presented
to the readers of Fraser's Magazine, by the author of a
series of papers called the " Monthly Nurse," which ap-
peared in the pages of Regina sonic few months ago. But
even independently of this, there is little novelty about it,
involving as it does, nothing more than the personal history
of a distinguished living member of the British House
of Peers. The literary notices are brief, but carefully
written. With respect to Mr. Love's new translation
of the " Arabian Nights," we would intimate to the
editor that there exists no fixed rule for the orthography
of words translated from the Arabic, particularly proper
names and the appellation of dignities, and therefore tl,at
Mr. Love's translaticn is in that respect not a a whit
superior to the one which it is intended to supersede.

PARBURY'S ORIENTAL HERALD.
Parbury and Co.
. .

Miss Emma Roberts has- contributed an article to this
Number, which we recommend to the notice of every young
man who proposes to himself a residence of some years'
duration in India. It is the seventh of a series, which both
the writer and the publisher will do well to think of su')-
mitting to the world in a separate form. Few Magazine
articles will bear republication with credit to their authors ;
but among the few, those contributed by Miss Rqberts
may be safely included. The present Number is embel-
lished with a portrait of Dr. John Grant, for some years
Editor of the India Gazelle, accompanied with a biogra-
phical sketch enumerating his distinguished services as a
public Journalist. The mass of Oriental news contained
in this publication bears ample testimony to the industry of
the Editor.

TIIE ASIATIC JOURNAL.
Allen and C).

The lovers of Oriental intelligence, in any and every
shape, will he deFghted with this Number. The articles
are very well written, and several of them exceedingly in-
teresting., particularly No. 1. of an " Analysis of Eastern
Workg." The " War between Burmah and China" is an-
other contribution equally valuable to the philosopher and
the historian. Among the Papers continued is the elabo-
rate summary of the " Penal Code of British India," a work
of immense importance, affecting, as it does, the interests or
one hundred millions of people.

TAIT'S EDIN BURGH MAGAZINE.
We cannot speak very flatteringly of our .friend Tait's
Sayings and Delius Far July. The Review of Talley.
rand's political and diplomatic career is not (qua%
either in aneedotical interest or profoundness of
thought to several which appeared in the leading Paris
journals the day after the Prince's death. Even Banim
is scarcely at home at " Donnybrook Fair" this month
—a circumstance which must surprie all whom he
has delighted with his life-drawn sketches of the fun
and fiolie of an Irish merry-meeting. The Review
of " Shakspeare and his Friends" is capital—every
worthy of the epitomizing capacity, we bad almost
said genius, of Mrs. Johnstone. " Montrose and the Co-
venanters" is a particularly well-timed exposure of the un-
natural alliance recently entered into between the Chalmers
and Philpotts scctions'of the Establithed Churches of Eng-
land and Scotland. There are several other articles, but none
of them call for any especial notice. Dal id 'Vedder has
contributed a very pretty Norwegian ballad to the verse
contents of this Number. We read it twice, and with an
increase of pleasure the second time.

THE NE TV SPORTIAG MAGAZI.NE.
Spiers.
We have latterly noticed a very great improvement, both
in the literary and pictorial departments of the " New
Sporting Magazine." Whether this is attributable to any
change of management, or to increased attention on the
part of the artists and contributors, we cannot tell

but such is the gratifying fact. The Number 'be-
fore us is embellished with two engravings—one of then:
of Amato, winner of the Derby Stakes, by W. B. Scott.
froth a painting by A. Cooper, It is carefully finished.
and altogether does great credit to the artist. we
speak from some experience, for we have seen several
engravings of Amato, executed cent mporaneousiy with
the one before us ; but none equal to it as a work of art.
Among the articles mist to our taste, we may mention the
I-Ledley-cross Hounds," a clever satirical sketch, and
the " Whisperer," an old acqua4itance in a new, and what
rarely happens in such cases, an improved dress.

TIIE FREEMASONS' QUARTERLY REVIEIV.
Sherwood and Co.

Since the establishment of this Revie,, we are assured
by the Editor, in an article on the masonic polity, that
a pr:nciple of healthful action has superseded a lethargic
less in the masonicic body, and shatis still more im-
portent, that the mystic fraternity in the three kingdoms,
has nearly tripled in numbers and respectability. This
announcement might alarm weak minds, was it not fol-
lowed by a summary of the great obligations imposed by
masonry, add which are all in perrect harmony with the
precepts contained in the New Testament. To relieve
the distressed, to speak the truth, to acquire a knowledge
of our duties as men and Christians, to honour the Sove-
rezn, to obey all just laws in the spirit and the letter,
and, as far as we are able, to afford a good example to
others, are divine obligations, the strict observance of which
can never be widely enough diffused—obligations which the
masonic body claim to have in view in the extension of
their numbers and influence. The articles being all on
subjects connected with masonic institutions, we purposely
abstain from offering any opinion respecting their relative
merits. Those who have not seen the masonic offering
presented to his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex,
Grand Master of the Masonic Fraternity, in the month of
April last, will be delighted to learn that a handsome li-
thographed engraving of it embellishes the present Number
of this well conducted periodiaal.

BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS

BRUSSELS, JUNE 27.—The Journal dcs Flandres has the
following letter from Brussels :

" I have at this moment received a letter from a corre•
spondent at Rotterdam, which communicates to me a piece of
news of some importance. I communicate it to you without
venturing to pledge myself for its authenticity, though the
writer is a very respectable person, who, I know, has oppor-
tunities of obtaining correct information.
King William'—so he writes to me—has just sent a
note to the British Mini,ter for Foreign Aff,irs, in which he
puts him in mind that he has acceded to the 24 articles fur
two reasons—first, to put an end as soon as possible to a state
of things unfavourable to both parts of the kingdom of the
Netherlands, and thus to avoid difficult discussions, as the
convention of Nov. 15 contains the basement laid down of a
definitive treaty. His Majesty expresses in this note a desire to
be made acquainted as soon as possible with the intentions of
the five Powers, in order that he may learn what line of conduct
it may be advisable for him to pursue. He declares that he
cannot consent to any change in the 24 articles ; and that he
should consider his assent as not having been given if this ex-
press condition is not observed. That if the Powers should
think fit to discuss the principle of any modification, his
Majesty would definitively reject the 24 articles, and should
be forced to enter directly into arrangement with the Belgian
Government, without having recourse to the arbitration of the
Powers, parties to the contract of 15th November, 1831.'
" Such is nearly the literal translation of my correspondent's
letter. Is he ill or well informed ? This is certainly a very
interesting question, but I cannot take upon myself to answer
it. All that I know (and my correspondent himself allows
this) is, that a definitive peace is highly necessary to the Ne-
therlands, and that since King William has solemnly sacrificed
the rights of his family by the acceptance of the 24 articles
(an accedtance which is equivalent to a formal recognition of
Belgium) the status quo has not a single partisan in that
country. If the note, of which the above is the tenor really
exist, it is a part of the interest of William to put an end, as
speedily as possible, to so ruinous a state of things."
BRUSSELS, JUNE 29.—A deputation of the Magistrates of
Brussels was received by his Majesty the evening before
yesterday.
The residence of the English Ambassador was illuminated
on Thursday evening, on the occasion of the Coronation of
the Queen of England.
The British arc increasing the fortifications of Maestricht,
especially on the right boundary. Palisades have been very
lately placed there.
A letter from Frankfort of 22d June says :

" The news of the conclusion of the -loan of 37,000,000',
is important in the present state of affairs. The house of
Rothschild, whose prudence and circumspection, in matters of
this kind, are well known, wuuld not have concluded a loan
with a state, the integrity of which did not rest on valid foun-
dation. We may therefore conclude, that the differences
which at present exist between Holland and Belgium are not
of such a serious nature as to threaten the latter.

ROME, JUNE 9.—Monsignor Fabrigi, the Minister of War,
died yesterday. The coachman, as be was driving his master
to the Pope, remarked near St. Celso a noise in the carriage,
and on leaking round to see what was the occasion of it, perceived
that his master was in a fit, and had fallen tram his scat. His
loss is generally lamented. His love of justice and the strictest,
attention to his duty, all served to have distieguished him.
He has filled but a short time the post of Minister of War,
havinq succeeded M. Ugolini, who has been elevated to the
dignity of Cardinal.
FRANKFORT, JUNE 27.—Exchange on London, 1511; two
months, 1514.—Frankfort Paper, June 28.
CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 7.—The Council of State has very
frequent sittings, at two of which the Sultan himself presided.
The subject of the discussion is the old question of the pre-
tensions of Mehemet AU. It is resolved that no change shall
be made in the existing relations, and that extreme mea-
sures shall be resorted to, if the Viceroy will not respect
the authority of the Porte. This resolution has been en-
tirely and unanimously approved by the foreign Ambas-
sadors, who have, however, advised the Porte to retain its
calm attitude, and not give Mehemtt occasion for any well
founded complaint. This he has engaged to do, and as a proof
of its intention'to follow the advice cf the Ambassadors' counter
orders have been sent to three regiments of infantry, and a
brigade of artillery, who were to join the army of the Seraskier
in Asia, and instructions have been sent to tie Seraskier him-
self not to quit his present position, and not to be moved by
threats of rely hind. But while the Porte thus manifests a
disposition to conciliation together with dignity, it reckons on
the good offices of the friendly powers, and has called on their
Ambassadors to urge Mehemet to pay the arrears of his
tribute. They hese declared their readiness to do this ;
and th,re is r o doubt that Mehemet, who would willingly
embarrass the Porte, will reflect, and again sown: the Sultan
of his submission, when he sees that this Sovereign can de-
pend on the support of foreign pryers.

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, JUNE 29.--The
sugar market has been well supplied, particularly with Mauritius,
a mederote business done. Prices are steady, with a tendency to de-
e;ine rather than (Ahem i,e. There is certainly no disposition to make
a sacriti!,c to force sales : on the other hand, we doubt whether the de•

The American people, who do so much credit to
the Mother country in many respects, are still sadly deficient on one
great point which more than any other characterises a civilized people—
we mean obedience to the law. On the Canadian frontier, and in some
of theiack settlements, the people take the law into their own hands. lit
the House of Representatives of Arkansas the Speaker killed one of the
Members with a bowie,knife, and a Jury returned a verdict of justifiable
homicide, theriiby leading us to infer there was a tight with deadly
weapons in the presence of those that make, and ought to respect, the
laws. It aNears also that, not more than three weeks ago, two of the
Members of Congress came to blows in the House, and there, according
to a correspondent of a Morning Paper, the matter ended. In this
country the Houses of Parliament are regarded as sacred ground; and
such an outrageous offence here, against all decency and morals, would
have been visited with the severest penalties. Till these lawgivers
show some more respect to constituted authorities, they cannot with jus-
tice blame either the people of Arkansas or Vermont, or find fault with
what has been called the gossip of Mrs. Trollope.
