Assembly stood 54 to 21, thus giving a majority of 33 to
Lord Sydenham.
KtsosTos, JUNE 24, 1831.—During the debate on the
Aidress, in reply to the speech from the throne, the
Union Bill was the chief bone of contention. One of
the resolutions was equivalent to a sanction of the
House to it, in all its details ; and expressed a warm
conviction that, under its provisions, peace and prosperity
would be restored. This was lustily opposed, and Mr.
Baldwin, the ex-Solicitor-General, offered a re-
solution to the effect that, although they were in favour of
and willing to try the Union Bill, they had no hope
of any such result from its present provisions. This was
rejected. A Mr. Merritt, a cute Yankee, who looks
after number one with peculiar shrewdness, then moved
an amendment that left the House at libertx to modify
the Bill at any further day when the discussion of it
came before it. This was carried by a large majority
against Ministers, and the Radicals rejoiced in a triumph.
It was short-lived, however. During the night the
waverers were tampered with. It was evident they did
not see that the motion carried was tantamount to a con-
demnation of the Bill ; and presented, at the very
threshold, a stumbling block in the path of his Excel-
lency. Next day they voted directly in the teeth of
their motion, and left the modification of the details of
the Bill to experience hereafter. It is thus the Ministry
propose to proceed and carry all before them by superior
cunning and tact.
It was moved and carried that the address be pre-
sented by the whole House to his Excellency, and to-
day about fifty Members, headed by the Speaker, pro-
ceeded to Alwint3n House, to carry the motion into
effect. The Speaker read the address, and his Lord-
ship read and then handed him a very short reply, and
thus ended the labours of twelve days legislation of the
United Parliament of United Canada.

As I wrote you before, the promised loan of a million
and a half has a wonderful effect. _ _ _

Madame Rumour—a dame whose authority is some-
times doubtful, although, in this instance, I believe
good—states positively that Charles Poulett, Lord
Sydenham, in regard to the softer sex, is very sus-
ceptible ! very susceptible indeed ! To be sure he is
a bachelor, but that is no contradiction—as he is an
admirer of variety, and delights therein. Some
bolder spirits go Maher, and say, that 'he has been
the slave of the ladies through life ; and considering the
transitory nature of his tastes—his wanness, his bilious-
ness, his goutiness, and his emaciation are not to be
wondered at. If he don't look out, and betake himself
to a permanent establishment, in the shape of a perma
nent wife, his blushing honours, just budding into life,
will die before they reach maturity. It is scandalous to
say so, I know, yet the same authority quoted above
will have it, that many of the Members who attended
with the address went from a curiosity to see a certain
Jane and her co-mate. Statesmen are very moral men—
very ! But such things are minor matters, of course!
and seeing that Lord Sydenham is liberal, why it would
be very illiberal to curtail his pleasures—very ! I, for
one, must respond to such sentiments ; and although
neither a Methodist, a Churchman, nor a Kirkman,
which sects disturb the peace here, I must say, in re-
gard to his Lordship, it is best to throw a veil over all
such trifles—their exposure cannot do any good, any how.

The fortifications at Point Henry, near Kingston, are
to be carried on immediately on a large scale. And we
have it on good authority that the projected defences of
Kingston are about to be immediately commenced on an
extensive scale—thus already realizing some of the pro-
mises contained in the speech of the Governor-General
at the opening of the present session of Parliament.

THE WILLIAM BROWN.
The Post of this morning contains the statement of
John Messer, one of the seamen of the William Brown,
who was saved in the long-boat. His description of the
horrible scene enacted in the boat does not tend to re-
lieve the mate from any of the odium which public
opinion has placed upon him for his barbarous treat-
ment of the unfortunate passengers. After describing
the loss of the ship, &c., and the embarkation of a por-
tion of the passengers, he goes on as follows
Before leaving us, the captain addressed the boat's
crew encouragingly, desired us to keep our hearts up,
not to quarrel or fight among ourselves, but to be ad-
viied by the mate, and to do what he should desire us.
He then bid us good bye, and in fifteen minutes or so
was out of sight.
During the whole of the day the weather was ex-
tremely cold, and the sea very rough. We rigged a drag
with our oars in order to keep the boat's head to the sea,
and to break the force of the waves.
Towards night-fall the mate consulted in a low voice,
with several of the crew, about lightening the boat. I was
aft at the time, with my back against the stern. At last
he said to me and another man, who was near me, " Well,
I suppose you have no objections to lending us a hand to
lighten the boat? I inquired how he intended to do so?
and while I was speaking I heard a splash alceigside, and
the whole boat was in an uproar—the work of death had
commenced. The other man and myself both remon-
strated against such cold-blooded proceedings, and said
—" If we are to die, let us die fair—let us cast lots."
" Very well," said the mate, " they will throw you
overboard next." I then drew my sheath knife, and
swore that whoever should lay a hand on me should
share my fate. The mate then called a tall negro, one
of the crew, aft, to toss me overboard, but when he saw
my knife, he went forward again and lent the others a
hand. My companion stuck close to me during the
whole of the heartrending scene, determined to defend
himself to the last.
One old man, a native of Ireland, when about to be
seized, fell upon his knees and entreated them to
spare his life, and he would give them all he had.
He then drew from his purse a number of sovereigns,
and offered them to the crow, but they were thrown
aside and himself thrown overboard. A lad about
18 years of age requested time to say his prayers, and
when he concluded, he said "I am now prepared—l do
not wish you to throw me overboard—•l will go myself,"
and he stepped off the gunwale of the boat into the sea.
Of all who were thrown overboard, not one, to my know-
ledge, succeeded in getting on board again. There were
no hands cut off nor any blood spilt ; neither did any
one, except the young man already mentioned, jump
overboard voluntarily.
The unfortunate passengers offered no resistance—
prayers and entreaties were all they used. " Oh, spare
me spare me r' several of them cried, even while they
were half overboard. I will not attempt a description
of this awful scene—it would melt a heart of stone. I
believe there were sixteen thrown overboard.
The boat was baled out after she had been lightened

following morning I discovered a sail, and
God commun

the fact to the mate, who said—" By , Jack,
a lucky fellow ; you have saved your life." The ship
that picked us up, as is already known, was the Crescent.
So strong was my indignation against the negro, that,
unln reachinz the Crescent's deck, I seized a heaver and
threw it at his head.
All of the crew in the boat, excepting the mate and
another man, were foreigners, or as sailors say, Dutch-
men, that is, men belonging to the continent of Europe.
Upon our arrival at Havre in the Ville de Lyon, the
American Consul, when made acquainted with the facts,
advised me and my companion to remain and give our
evidence against the mate and crew ; but we declined
upon the ground that we conceived the testimony of the
passengers sufficient. As he was not very urgent, we
were liberated, after an examination before the Board of
Police.
After my health was somewhat recruited, I shipped
on board the Angelo, Captain Jaques, bound to New-
, bury Port, where I arrived on Wednesday last. I arrived
in Boston on Thursday, and hate made this statement for
the information of the public.

LITERATURE.

EDINBURGH REVIEW No. CXL VIII.
Longman, London, 1841.
Never was man better qualified,, by habit and
the peculiar structure of his mind, for the task of
a Reviewer, than Mr. Macaulay. Quick—lively
ardent—argumentative when argument is re-
quired—eloquent 'when an impression is to be
made by mere force and splendour of style—
subtle and ingenious, if not profound or original,
as a thinker—and abounding in that sort of infor-
mation which is most likely to take with the gene-
rality of readers;—the Right Hon. Gentleman
possesses every requisite, except wit, necessary
to constitute an accomplished periodical essayist.
His memory, too, which in some degree supplies
the place of fancy, is strong to retain every im-
pression that has once been made on it, so that
he is never at a loss, even when busied with the
most unpromising themes, for lively, apt allusion
and illustration. The variety of the sources
from which he gathers his materials is indeed ex-
traordinary. The poets, sophists, and historians
of Greece and Rome; the writers of France and
Italy; the dramatists, essayists, metaphysicians,
divines, and wits of our Elizabethan and Augus-
tan ages; the Arabian and Persian story-tellers ;
the Spanish romancers; the Byzantine chroni-
clers; and those long-winded prosers, the early
Fathers of the CatholicChurch;—all are ransacked
to supply Mr. Macaulay with striking points and
ingenious illustrations. Hence his pages glitter at
times like a constellation, and as his chief ambition
seems to be to dazzle and astonish, rather than
to convince, he rarely misses his mark. Gene-
rally speaking, his Reviews consist of a suc-
cession of brilliant and effective passages, now
of a descriptive, now of a dramatic, and now
of a metaphysical character, thrown together
without much method or arrangement ; exhibit-
ina no traces of a severe or continuous process
of thought; no patient working out of favourite
ideas and principles ; but keeping, nevertheless,
the reader's mind in a constant state of excite-
ment. Of such a sort is the article entitled
" The Port-Royalists," which stands first in the
present Number, and which we have no hesita-
tion in ascribing to the Right Hon. Gentleman's
pen. It is an account, in sketch,.of the founders
of the well-known Abbey of Port Royal ; and
though rambling and desultory to a degree, and
exhibiting a bold contempt for all chronological
arrang,Tment, possesses the enchaining interest
of a Scotch novel—so picturesque are its de-
scriptions; so vivid its outlines of character,
which remind us of some of Retsch's etchings
from Faust; and so agreeably does its style al-
ternate between epigram and amplification. The
celebrated Cornelius Jansen of course occupies
a niche in this temple which the Reviewer has
erected to the honour and glory of the Port-
Royalists ; but instead of entering into a detailed
statement of this religious Reformer's creed, he
might have contented himself with telling us in
one word, that it was neither more nor less than
Methodism. Jansen was the Wesley—or rather
Whitfield—of his day. He held that the ma-
jority of the human race were born for
no other purpose than to be damned, and
that the select Few only were destined to salva-
tion. This unsocial creed did not suit the more
pliant and orthodox divines of France, so a paper-
war was commenced against Jansenism, which
lasted for seventy years, and gave abundant em-
ployment to all the wits, satirists, and historians
of the time. In Voltaire's tales there are, if we
remember rightly, several sarcastic hits at the
followers of the great Cornelius. Of the well-
known Madame de Maintenon, Mr. Macaulay
furnishes us en passant with a very graphic
sketch, which, though on the whole condemna-
tory, might have been more severely so with
propriety. To say that she was a narrow-minded
prude, is not saying enough. She was a canting,
heartless hypocrite; ever most intriguing when
apparently most frank and candid; concealing
an insatiable thirst for power under an affected
show of moderation ; and professing extreme dis-
interestedness when she was at heart the most
selfish of upstarts. Of all the mistresses of the
Grande Monarque—and their name is Legion—
this woman is the most unamiable. Compared
with her, poorLaValliere is aparagon of purity; and
even the haughty De Montespan shows white as
snow beside her. It was our lot to wade through
her Correspondence, some two years since, and
never was seen such a specimen of dull, petty,
canting common-place ! That Louis was duped
by such a woman, proves not her quick-wittedness,
but his mental imbecility. As a specimen of Mr.
Macaulay's graphic and picturesque style, we
quote his account of a projected attack on the
Abbey of Port Royal, about the commencement
of the wars of the Fronde—the character of
which wars, by the by he defines with the hap-
piest accuracy :
Guided by such pastors, the Port-Royalists were fol-
lowing out a progress more tranquil than that of John
Bunyan's Pilgrim, when the wars of the Fronde rudely
scattered the shepherd and the flock. Moss of the nuns
fled for refuge to Paris, but the recluses (they were
Frenchmen still) appeared three htmdred strong, in de-
fence of their sequestered valley. Above their hair-
sr,rts glittered coats-of-mail. As the last notes of the
aothe,:n died away, the trumpet summoned the worship-
pers to ilitary exercises. Spears and helmets flashed
through th.' woods—plumes waved over many a fur-
rowed brow—otrenchtnents, which may still be traced,
were thrown up ; and the evening gun, the watchword,
and the heavy tread pf cavalry, broke a silence till then
undisturbed, except by °the monastic choir, or the half-
uttered prayer of some Ic.nely penitent. De Sericourt
felt once again his pulse beat high as he drew out the
martial column, and raised the Long-forgotten words of
peremptory command. But ere loo' a voice more sub-
dued, though not less peremptory, wan heard to silence
his. De Saci's heart mourned over this reliance on an
arm of flesh. Watching the first pause the new en-
thusiasm of his associates, he implored them P 3 lay aside
their weapons ; and in long-suffering to suboi.t them-
selves and their cause to the Supreme Disposer of events.
t an instant the whole aspect of Port-Royal was
changed. Students returned to their books, penitents to
their cells, and handicraftsmen to their ordinary labours.
It was a change as sudden and as complete as when, at
the bidding of the Genius, the crowded bridge and the
rushing river disappeared from the eyes of Mirza,
leaving before him nothing but the long hollow Valley
of Bagdad, with oxen, sheep, and camels grazing on the
sides of it.
"Cecil and De Clifford" is a commendatory
notice of two novels that have lately attracted
considerable attention. The Reviewer attributes
the former to the sprightly pen of Mrs. Gore,
but we can scarely credit that she could have
written it, for the keen insight into the inner
heart of man that " Cecil " exhibits in its more
serious scenes, could not have been attained by
a woman. That she may have assisted in the
composition, is likely enough, but we cannot
bring ourselves to believe that she was the sole.
authoress. Judging from one or two marked
peculiarities of manner, we feel strongly disposed
to assign the notice of the " Colman Family"
to Mr. Leigh Hunt. It is lightly and spiritedly
written, but we have rather too much of the
Bonnell Thorntons, Lloyds, Churchills, and
other contemporaries of the elder Colman, not
one of whom is now remembered, with the ex-
ception, perhaps, of Churchill. And even his is
no enviable notoriety. He has come down to us,
not as a poet, but as a coarse, vigorous, ill-
natured satirist, who is more remarkable for
force of style than strength of thought. His
best work is his " Rosciad," and even this would
be sorry enough, if it were not for the apt and
pointed sketch of Mossop. We cordially agree
with the Reviewer in his estimate of
Colman "the Younger "—as he styled himself at
the very juvenile age of seventy, He was a
genuine humourist, but his sentiment was mere
maudlin drivel, without an atom of heart in it;
and his attempts at a high tragic flight
were still
more deplorable. All that is sterling in his
"Iron Chest" is directly borrowed from " Caleb
Williams ;" but his "Mountaineers" being
mere noisy rant throughout, is, we presume, his
own. His best play is his
"John
Bull." T
was a hit between wind and w a ter
—a successful s
aim at the bull's eye—and dexterously chimed in
with the feelings and prejudices of the national
character at the period when it was written. In
the notice of " Swinburne on the Courts of
Europe," the Reviewer, we are glad to see, does
justice to the memory of the unfortunate Marie
Antoinette, whose reputation has passed through
the furnace of calumny, seven times heated,
and come out unharmed. Indiscreet she was,
fond of pleasure,_ and too prone fo meddle
with affairs of State ; but she had no worse
failings; and when we call to mind her rare
magnanimity, her heroic determination of pur-
pose, and the calm, undaunted front shebitterest
op-
posed to her enemies in the hour of her _

adversity, we can pardon these, or ahuntdoredin

successor, Mazarin, possessed but half his

energy, never should we have h eard of
De Retz, or the senseless wars of the
Fronde. " Grounds and Objects of the Budget"
is sound in its argument, but somewhat too tame
and whining in its spirit. At a crisis like the pre-
sent, the Reviewer should have spoken out more
boldly. When a cause is urgent, and. its issue
doubtful,a lukewarm advocate does it more harm
than good. " The late Lord Holland" is a kindly
and respectful tribute to the memory of a gene-
rous, tolerant, public-spirited Nobleman, who
rarely made an acquaintance that he did not im-
mediately convert into a fast friend. Our readers)
will, no doubt, be pleased with this eloquent de-
scription of Holland House, andits late illus-
trious owner :

The time is coming when, perhaps, a few old men, the
last survivors of our generation, will in vain seek, amidst
new streets, and squares, and railway stations, for the
site of that dwelling which was in their youth the fa-
vourite resort of wits and beauties—of painters and poets
—of scholars, philosophers, and statesmen. They will
then remember, with strange tenderness, many objects
once familiar to them—the avenue and the terrace, the
busts and the paintings ; the carving, the grotesque gild-
ing, and the enigmatical mottoes. With peculiar fond-
ness, they will recal that venerable chamber, in which all
the antique gravity of a college library was so singularly
blended with all that female grace and wit could devise
to embellish a drawing-room. They will recollect, not
unmoved, those shelves loaded with the varied learning
of many lands and many ages ; those portraits in which
were preserved the features of the best and wisest English-
men of two generations. They will recollect how many men
who have guided the politics of Europe—who have moved
great assemblies by reason and eloquence—who have put
life into bronze and canvass, or who have left to posterity
things so written as it shall not willingly let them die—
were there mixed with all that was loveliest and gayest
in the society of the most splendid of capitals. They
will remember the singular character which belonged to
that circle, in which every talent and accomplishment,
every art and science had its place. They will remember
how the last debate was discussed in one porner, and the
last comedy of Scribe in another ; whil Wilkie gazed
with modest admiration on Reynolds Baretti ; while
Mackintosh turned over Thomas Aquinas to verify a
quotation ; while Talleyrand related his conversations
with Barras at the Luxemburg, or his ride with Lannes
over the field of Austerlitz. They will remember, above
all, the grace—and the kindness, far more admirable than
grace—with which the princely hospitality of that an-
cient mansion was dispensed. They will remember the
venerable and benignant countenance, and the cordial voice
of him who bade them welcome. They will remember that
temper which years of pain, of sickness, of lameness, or
confinement, seemed only to make sweeter and sweeter ;
and that frank politeness which at once relieved all the
embarrassment of the youngest and most timid writer or
artist, who found himself for the first time among Am-
bassadors and Earls.

DUTCH AND GERMAN MAIL.

BATAVIA, MARCH 18.—Accounts from Padang, of the
26th of February, say that on the 24th a rising had
taken place, which appeared to be of a serious nature.
The Regent of Balips was at the head of it. Fort
Goeque Maetentang, which had a full garrison, Fort
Koch, and the camp of Padang-Riloe, were attacked at
the same time. Colonel Michiel, Governor of the west
coast of Sumatra, was preparing to set out with the
troops in Padang for the upper country. The ship Eagle
has brought the intelligence that Colonel Michiel had
succeeded in quelling the insurrection in a few days.
A later account from Colonel Michiel brings the im-
portant news that Kalic Roaja, formerly Governor of
Balips, has been taken prisoner and brought to Padang,
and the state of things in the upper part of Padang was
so favourable that there was every reason to hope that
order will shortly be restored.
ALEXANDRIA, JUNE 9.—Saib Mulib Effendi is to re-
turn in a few days on board the Nile steamer, to Con-
stantinople, and to take five millions of piastres, as part
of the tribute. It is affirmed that the Pacha has
offered an annual tribute of two millions of dollars,
if he is left at liberty with respect to his internal
administration, otherwise he will pay only one million.
The day before yesterday about four hundred Egyp-
tians returned from Constantinople, who either deserted
or were taken prisoners in Syria. They were imme-
diately restored, and though
isthe Sultan's order. was
that they should return to their homes, itprobable
that they sooner or later be incorporated in the army.

BENGAL —AMERICAN COTTON PLANTERS.
—We regret to learn, though it is no more than we ex-
pected and foretold, " that the superintendent of the
American cotton planters has represented to the Board
of Revenue the impracticability of carrying out the views
of. Government" " m :respect to the 1,200 acres already
planted with cotton, which they have ordered should be
given over in charge to the American planters ;" and
wherefore ? will no doubt be the inquiry. The non-ex-
istence of " gin-houses for the machinery, of dwelling-
houses for the planters, and of godowns for the

BRIBERY.—We are informed that a member of
the Wesleyan Methodist society at Boston has been ex-
pelled for bribery at the recent election for that borough.
Having promised Sir James Duke, he was induced to sell
his vote to the Tories. This expulsion is right : it
ought to be followed out, and the like punishment
awarded 'to rich members, who either vote on the dicta-
tion of their customers, or refuse to vote at all, for fear
of offending them. The crime is equal morally, and we
suppose that is the view taken of this delinquency by a
religious body.—Lincoln Gazette.
The New Orleans Papers relate the following
almost incredible occurrence :—On the 14th instant, at
night, they say, a white woman gave birth to an infant
in a car, on the Pontchartrain Railroad. She threw the
child out, as the cars were going down to the lake, op-
posite to an hospital kept by a Dr. Lutzenburg ; and be-
lieving, as she says, that it was dead, continued on her
journey. The child was found alive and well ! at five
o'clock on the followinc, Tuesday morning and taken into
the hospital, where a save of the doctor's performed the
duties of a mother towards it. On the same day (Tuesday)
at half-past 11 o'clock A.M., the mother was arrested
by the Third Municipality police of New Orleans, and
at one o'clock she was sent to the hospital to give that
nourishment and succour to her infant which nature
should prompt her to have done, but whom she so un-
naturally deserted. The "young 'un," it is added._ is a
fine healthy boy, and yesterday they were both doing
well. The mother received no assistance during her
travail ; and the child withstood the assaults of the mos-
quitoes, the effects of the night air, and the other con-
tingent inconveniences of a night in the woods, in a man-
ner that would have done credit to a squatter more inured
