wise dismayed by the annoyances, and even
periis, attending a winter sojourn in such an
inhospitable climate, set sail from Copenhagen in
the autumn of 1834, and arrived at Reikiavik, the
chief town in Iceland, after just such a rough voy-
age as was to have been eNpected, and spent there
the ensuing winter, occasionally amusing his lei-
sure by making excursions into the interior. His
sketches of the landscape scenery of this inclement
storm-swept region, are clever, and particularly
graphic and impressive, when he describes the
mountain chain of which Hecla forms the most re-
markable feature. Reikiavik, according to Mr.
Dillon's account, is but a very poor place, little
larger than a good-sized English village ; as,
however, he got an excellent breakfast there the
day after his arrival, " seasoned by copious liba-
tions of champagne," he speaks of it in terms of
respect and gratitude, as a town which has left a
pleasing impression on his mind. At a few miles
distance from Reikiavik some wild scenery is to be
met with, which our author sketches con amore.
The manners of the people he describes as simple
and unassuming ; they are content, it seems, with
their lot—hard though it be—and desire no change
of fortune. A great portion of the first volume is
devoted to details of the early history of Iceland,
and in the second Mr. Dillon gives some brief, but
intelligent and animated, account of a hurried ex-
cursion he made to Lapland and the northern parts
of Sweden.

THE SAUCY JACK. 2 Vors,
Bentley, London, 1940.
A very rambling and amusing tale, well calcu-
lated to wile away an idle hour on a winter evening.
Some of the incidents arc sketched with vigour,
but there is not much attempt at portraiture of
character. The writer shows, in ei cry page, that
he is one who has been long used to the sea.

LETTERS OF HORACE TVALPOLE.—Var,. L
Bentley, London, 1840.

A complete edition of the Correspondence of
Horace Walpole—the most delightful letter-
writer in the language—with sententious notes, ex-
plaining such aliresions in the text as time may have
rendered obscure, and giving brief biographical
notices of those among the many personages
referred to, who are now well nigh forgotten, has
long been a de.sideratunt in our literature, and the
present carefully digested edition bids fair to
supply the deficiency. Not only have we ail
Walpole's best and most popular letters, including
his " Reminiscences of the Courts of George the
First and Second," but much of his correspond-
ence is added, now first published from the ori-
ginal manuscripts. To this is added a neat,
temperately-written memoir of the author, toge-
ther with several engravings, finished with much
skill. The Editor's explanatory notes are in
general pertinent and amusing, and show various,
if not profound, reading. But why does he rake
up the old calumny, borrowed from Wharton, of Pope
having accepted a thousand pounds from the
Duchess of Marlborough to suppress the satirical
character of Atossa ? Vie can assure him that
there is not the slightest foundation far the an-
ecdote, and that it has been exploded long ago.
But even were it not generally given up by
Popta's best biographers, common-sense would at
once show the utter absurdity of it ; for, in
the first place, old Sarah, at that advanced
period of her life, was the very last woman in the
world to have devoted such a sum to such a
purpose ; and secondly, Pope, it is well known,
though he was by no means indifferent to
money, had an innate horror of receiving it in
this contraband manner, especially when it
could scarcely hare been kept a secret. In his
short, biographical sketch of young West, the friend
of Gray, the Editor makes no mention of his hav-
ing translated Pindar, which he should have done,
for it is on this performance that his claim to the
notice of posterity chiefly rests. On the whole,
however, the notes are well selected and arranged,
and the edition is by far the completest that has yet
appeared of Horace Walpole.

EBENEZER ELLIOTT'S POEMS.
Tait, Edinburgh, 1840.

We have here, in one octavo volume, containing
one hundred and eight pages, printed in double
columns, and in a type which, though rather small,
is perfectly distinct and legible, the whole of Ebe-
nezer Elliott's poetical works ; and the price of the
volume is only four shillings, notwithstanding that
there is as much matter in it as, ten years ago,
would have been comprised in not less than half a
dozen duodecimos ! The works of this sterling
poet will now be perused by as many thousands, as
they before had hundreds, of readers; for it is the
price only that has hitherto prevented them from
acquiring that wide-spread popularity which is no
more than their due. Elliott is not a mere spinner
of smooth, dainty, elegant couplets ; but puts a
sinewy vigour and earnestness into his rhymes,
calculated to make a profound and lasting impres-
sion on the reader's mind. His " Splendid Vil-
lage has all the fancy and kindly feeling of Gold-
smith, with far more fire and energy than that ac-
complished poet possessed. In some of its terser
and more emphatic sketches of humble life it re-
minds us rather of the " Parish Register," than
the " Deserted Village." The volume is embel-
ashed, with a portrait of the author, which, we un-
derstand, is a strong, characteristic likeness.

SIMPSON'S HISTORIES OF EA GLAND
AND SCOTLAND.
Oliecr and Boyd, Edinburgh, 1840.
These histories are well adapted for the use of
schools, for they are penned in a concise, familiar
style, and give a clever bird's-eve view of the pro-
,,,ress of public events in both countries, from the
earliest periods down to the present time. Of
course they are merely introductory, that is to
say, sketched in outline ; but this is ail that is
.;ceded in such elementary works ; the young
reader, as his powers of observation and re-
flection become enlarged, will afterwards turn, for
a fuller and more explicit record of facts, to the
pages of Lingard and Robertson, for which Mr.
Simpson has adroitly paved the way. The ques-
tions attached to each chapter on the chief events
therein narrated, will have the effect of impressing
tiem on the mind of the pupil.

ACCOUNT OF THE EDINBURGH
SESSIONAL SCHOOL.
Oliver and Boyd, Edinburgh, 1840.

A useful, unpretending work, in which are to
he found many serviceable hints respecting &in-
chtion. The account of the system of instruction
pursued at the Edinburgh Sessional School is in-
teresting ; but the best portion of the volume is
contained in the Appendix, which treats of the
training of teachers, briefly, but in stn earnest and
enlightened spirit.

SMITH'S STANDARD LIBRARY.
Smith, London, 1 84 O.
Three Parts of this Oteap and well-printed
miscellany are now lying before us, each Part
complete in itself : one, containing Pope's transla-
!ion of the Iliad ; the second, Beattie's and Blair's
poetical works ; and the third, the Life and Ad-
ventures of Peter Wilkins—a romance, modelled
on Gulliver'is Travels, and with which most school-
boys are familkr. Each of these Parts is got up
with great elegance ; and is of a convenient octavo
size.

PICTORIAL SHAKSPEARE, PART XV.
C. Knight, London, 18-10.

The present Part contains the whole of that
noble play, Cymbeline, to which a variety of useful
explanatory notes are attached, together with origi-
nal criticisms on the principal characters, wherein
some of Dr. Johnson's harsh animadversions are
justly denounced. The pictorial embellishments are,
as usual, of a superior order of excellence.

A MANUAL OF THE DISEASES OF THE
EYE. By S. larrELL, M.D. Revised and En-
larged by Huai" Housro.v, Esq., M. R. C. S.,
Surgeon
to rite Western Eye Dispensary. Churchill. Loudon.
Dr. Littell s Manual is a work so well known,
and so highly esteemed by the faculty, that it would
be superfluous to enter upon a minute examination►
of its merits, even were the columns °Fa newspaper
the proper place for such an undertaking. Suffice
it to say, that it contains, in a concentrated furm,
I the substance of many elaborate treatises, ineludin,,
th.:)sc of Mackenzie, Lawrence, Travers, and Mid
dlernore, the most distinguished names in this de-
partment of surgery. It was not to be expected,
however, that the contents of so many volumes
could be compressed within the compass of 250
small pages without some omissions, and to supply
these,
as well as to introduce such other improve-
;
imilts as may give a complete view of the present I
state of o2hthalmic surgery, has been the object ofi

Mr. Houston, in giving to the public another edi-
tion of this excellent work. He has executed his
task well, selecting with judgment from the latest
publicatithls the information necessary to complete
the plan he had laid down for himself, and adding
to this the results of his own observation and re
searches in the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, St.
George's Hospital, the Royal Westminster Opthal-
mie Hospital, and the Metropolitan Free Hospital,
in London. We are glad to perceive that the for-
nzula are, in this edition, inserted at the proper
places in the text, instead of being appended col-
lectively to the end of the volume. This will save
the reader much time. An alphabetical index to the
Optbahnic Formulary, and an index to the nume-
rous affections of the eye treated of in the body of
the work, are also among the improvements for
which the present edition is indebted to Mr. Hous-
ton. This manual is now the most perfect work of
the kind in this, or perhaps any other language, and
ought to be in the hands of all who are engaged
either in the study or practice of medicine.

COMPENDIUM OF THE LAWS OF ENG-
LAND, SCOTLAND, AND ANCIENT
ROME. Fraser and Crawford, Edinburgh, 1839.

The first volume of this work treats of Marriages
according to the English, Scottish, and Roman
forms. The compiler commences with this part of
the law, because lie considers marriage forms the
foundation on which civil society is built, and the
descent of real and personal property depends. It
forms the very primum motile of the law, and he
has, therefore, appropriately placed it at the head
of a publication, which is to contain an account of
the laws of the three countries, together with the
most important cases decided within recent years.
Mr. Logan, the author, begins by explaining to
the uninitiated, some of these strange terms and
modes of practice still retained in the English law.
Those fictitious characters, John Doe and Richard
Roe, he regards as a disgrace to the age, because
the necessity for this mode of proceeding no longer
exists, and a simple action must be far preferable
to a fallacy. The minute details and the nume-
rous cases cited under the head of English Law of
Marriage are well arranged, and made intelligible
to general readers, who may thereby save them-
selves the expense of professional advice in ascer-
taining the state of the law as regards even the in-
tricate and numerous relations arising out of the
married state. There are also some curious de-
tails given in the history of the Scottish Marriage
Law. Among other peculiarities he states, that
though the law is most simple and irregular,
marriages are valid ; yet, notwithstanding, if any
persons procure themselves to be married without
proclamation of banns or by a regular clergyman,
they are liable to three months' imprisonment and
a fine, according to their station, and the celebrator
is to be condemned to perpetual banishment.
A brief outline of the Roman Law on the sub-
ject of Marriage is given, as it is conceived to be
the model on which all the European laws have
been founded.

POPULAR LIBRARY OF MODERN
AUTHORS.
IVhittaker, London, 1840.

The present Number of this Miscellany consists
of Garrick's Life of Wallace, which is penned in
a temperate spirit, and does every justice to the
illustrious Scottish hero, without elevating him, as
Miss Jane Porter has done in her well-known
It omance, into a paragon of perfection, The
Memoir is written with skill and care, and exhibits
much curious research.

STRIVE AND THRIVE.
Tegg, London. 1840.

sable engravinos.

A TITHE REBEL.-EXTRAORDINARY CASE'
—At Dublin, in the Court of Exchequer, last Saturday, a poor
old man named Darby Gilmore, was brought up. Mr. Brooke,
Q.C., applied to have him discharged from custody. He had
been arrested under a writ of rebellion, for non-payment of
tithes claimed by the Marquis of Westmeath. The sum due
was just an attorney's fee, Bd. The costs before the bill
was filed amounted to 241. He had been arrested under the
writ, and, having rescued himself, was bound over in his own
recognizance to stand his trial at the assizes of Westmeath.
In the mean time he was arrested under the same writ of re-
bellion, and brought to Dublin. Counsel applied for his dis-
charge, on the ground that the third arrest was illegal. Mr.
Brewster, Q.C., opposed the application. The Court directed
the immediate discharge of the prisoner, and the plaintiff un-
dertook to strike him out of the bill without costs. So that
poor old Darby Gilmore has beaten Lord 'Westmeath hollow
in this little tithe campaign.

Casks of provisions, lard and butter, have for the

coach, after requesting attention to be paid to the sufferer, took
the reins, and brought the coach safely to town.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, JANUARY
27.—There has been a visible improvement in t.he market to-
day ; the attendance of buyers has been more numerous, and
considerably more flannels have been sold than on the two pre-

wool market has been rather dull, and the prices the same as
last week's.

COLLISION BETWEEN THE INSOLVENTS' AND
TIIE B A NKR U PTS' COURTS.-Ott Tuesday Wm. Potts applied
to the Commissioners of the Insolvent Debtors' Court to be dis-
charged. The insolvent, it appeared, had, on being taken in
execution, filed his petition in this Court, and obtained an or-
der for hearing. He had been discharged on sureties, and now
came up fir examination. It turned out that on Friday last
he had been made a bankrupt, and the administration of his
estate taken from the Court. There was 1081. in Court for
the creditors, arising from the sale of furniture by an officer of
the Court. Mr. Woodroffe said if there had been no money
in Court no fiat would have been issued. The chief practice
of late of the other Court seemed to be to plunder the estates
of this The• Chief Commissioner remarked that there were
other interests than those of creditors to serve. 'fhe sum could
have been divided by this Court at a very small expense, but it
would now be swallowed up in law expenses. Mr. Commis-
sioner Bowen—How much is there in Court ? Mr. WoodrotTe-
-108/. from the sale of furniture—a sum usually required to
work a fiat. The insolvent was ordered to be discharged. He
is of course amenable to the bankrupt laws. No fiat could have
issued after the adjudication by this Court.

THE DIGNITARIES OF TUE CIIURCII.—They
intreat us (says John Milton in his " Reformation in England")
that we should not be weary of those insupportable grievances
that our shoulders have hitherto cracked under; they beseech
us that we would think them fit to be our Justices of Peace,
our Lords, our highest Otlicersof State, though they come fur-
nished with no more experience than they learnt between the
cook and the inanciple, or more profoundly at the college audit,
or the regent house, or to come to their deepest insight, at
their patron's table; they would request us to endure still the
rustling of their silken cassoes, and that we would burst
our midriffs, rather than laugh to see them under sail in all
their law and sarsnet, their shrouds and tackle, with a
geometrical rhomboides upon their heads ; they would
bear us in hand that we must of duty still appear before them
once a year in Jerusalem, like good circumcised males and fe-
males, to be taxed be the poll, to be sconce(' our hcadmoney,
our twopences, in their chandlery shop-book of Easter. They
pray U 3 that it would please us to let them still hale us, and
worry us, with their handc,gs and pursuivants; and that it
would please the Parliament that they may yet have the whip-
ping, fleecing, and flaying of us in their diabolical Courts, to
tear the flesh from our bones, and into our wide wounds, instead
of balm, to pour in the oil of tartar, vitriol, and mercury ;
surely a right reasonable, innocent, and soft-hearted petition.
O the relenting bowels of the fathers ! Can this be granted
unless God has smitten us with frenzy from above, and a

SETTLEMENT IN PETERCULTER PARISI!.
We noderstand that the Rev. Mr. Thomson has been the suc-

patron, we believe, arranged that the heads of families should
have the appointment, if unanimous ; but, if otherwise, that
they should be bound by his appointment ; and, under this ar-
rangement, a very unanimous call will be given Mr. Thomson.
The contest lay between him and Mr. Dymock, who, in the
first instance, was the greatest favourite; but, in consequence
of his support of the wild, party in the Church, all the Alode-
rates deserted him, and gave their suffrages to Mr. Thomson,
who, we arc glad to say, belongs to this party, and he carried
his election by a great majority—the minority ultimately giving
up Mr. Dymock, and supporting Mr. Thomson, FO as to make
the election unanimous.—Alerdeen Herald.

LONDON:
THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 1840.

The Judges yesterday delivered their judgment
in the case of FROST and his fellow-prisoners,
to the Secretary of State for the Horne De-
partment. It will be remembered that on the
trial the great objection made by Sir FREDERICK
POLLOCK was, that the list of witnesses was not
delivered to the accused at one and the same time
with the indictment, according to the statute. This
was the great legal question so elaborately argued
in Westminster Hall from Saturday till Tuesday.
The Crown Lawyers contended first, that the objec-
tion made by Sir FREDERICK POLLOCK was not
tenable ; and next that, supposing it tenable, it
was made too late.

On the first point the following Judges, being
nine in all, were of opinion that the objection was

good :
Baron PARKE.

ILLIA NIS.

Mr. Justice N'
Baron ALDERSON.
Mr. Justice PATTISON.
Mr. Justice LITTLRDALE.

Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.

Who were on the Special
Commission

Mr. Justico ERSKINE.
Mr. Justice COLTMAN.
Mr. Baron ROLFE.

The following were of opinion that it was not

good :
Chief Justice DENmA:sr.
Chief Justice TIN UAL.
Chief Baron ABINGEK.

Mr. Baron GURNEY.
Mr. Justice MAULE.
Mr. Justice BOSANQUET.

On that ground, then, as all criminal statutes
are construed strictly, the prisoners are entitled to
an acquittal; and we cannot suffer ourselves for
one moment to believe that the argument, that the
objection was not made in time, will be allowed to
influence the ultimate fate of the prisoners. But
the success of the Crown Lawyers on that point is
a curious matter, and complicates
Jud.;the question very
much. The three followinn- es having in the
first instance decided that the objection was good,
joined the six who decided that it was not good

on the second question, and came to the opinion

t! at the valid objection was not made in time :

Baron ALnrnsoN, Baron RoLrE, Mr. .Jutice COLTMAN.
Thus a majority of nine held tile objection to be
good, and a majority of nine that it was not made
in time. On what trifles—if this he law—are the
lives of men made to depend ? As we said long ago,
when we first heard that the objection was taken,
it will not, we believe', he possible to execute men
on a decision of this character.

It is very remarkable that two out of three of
those Judges who were on the Special Commission,
namely, Mr. Baron PARKE and Mr. Justice
WILLIAms, held the objection to be good on both
questions ; and on this ground—as the majority of
the Judges on the Commission would give judg-
ment—the prisoners would be entitled to an
acquittal. They ought of course not to lose the
benefit of the doubt in the breasts of the Judge,;
who tried them, and not to be placed in a worse
situation than they woull have been under the Com-

mission.

Moreover a writ of error on any question of fact
might have been brought into the Court of Queen's
Bench. It is oven yet in the power of the ATTOR-
NEY-GENERAL to bring tha case before the Bench
by such a writ; and if that were done, as four of the
Judges of the Bench were in favour of the prisoners,
namely, Mr. Justices LITTLEDALE, PA r'r [SON,
WILLIAMS, and Co LER I DG E, they would then ob-
tain an acquittal. Altogether this case now becomes
extremely curious as well as interesting, as showing
the very uncertain operation of the Treason Law,
and the other laws on which Coercionists rely for
protection and safety, instead of seeking it in the
contentment, attachment, and affection of the people.

We know not tha we should now plead for
mercy, because we hold, and we hope that it will be
so held, that the great legal objection taken by the
prisoners' Counsel being valid, the minor legal
counter objection, that it was not taken in time,
will not be regarded, and that consequently the
prisoners are entitled to an acquittal. We hold that,
and we hope the Government also hold that, to be
law. Lest, however, the Ministry should, as we think
unfortunately for itself, decide otherwise, we must
enforce to the utmost of our power the recommenda-
tion of Col. THOMPSON'S well-timed and excellent
letter. We make no apology or excuse for Mr.
FROST—We deprecate with intense sorrow the
threats by which some misguided people have of
late apparently sought to goad the Government into
acts of cruelty ; but we deliberately and solemnly
affirm, from what we know and hear of the opinions
and feelings of the masses, that never was an act
of mere;---if it is to be mercy—more neu:ssary for
the future welfare of the upper classes and future
welfare of society, than mercy to the prisoners con-
victed at Monmouth. Few of the upper classes
are, we are afraid, aware of the intense feeling of
the multitude on this point ; still fewer are aware
how deep-seated and wide-spread is the basis of
that contest in which htosT and his fellows ap-
pear, to one party, to be martyrs, and very
few are therefore convinced, as we are, that
great and overwhelming danger, if not immediately,
yet at no distant day, would be the consequence of
putting them to death for treason. A strong Go-
vernment, with a good cause, can afford to be mer-
ciful ; to carry into execution a sentence vitiated by
the legal doubts and difficulties we have explained,and
after the prisoners have suffered a fortnight of intense
mental agony, would be held to be a proof of weak-
mess and cruelty, anti would at once invite and pro-
voke wide-spread opposition. The fate of the
country bangs in a balance, but, happily for it, the
blessed virtue of mercy will make the scale of evil
kick the beam.

The Lords did not meet yesterday.
After the presentation of a number of petitions in the
Commons, Mr. LEADER gave notice that he would move
oa Tuesday for a return of the money paid out of the
Consolidated Fund to the King of HANovee.
The debate on Sir J. Y. 13ur.LEe's motion was re.•
sumed by Mr. LITTON, and occupied the whole evening.
Tho other speakers were Mr. DENISTOUN, Mr. G.
KNIGHT, Mr. E. RICE, Mr. PAKINGTON, Mr. MUNTZ,
Captain BERKELEY, Mr. PARKER, Lord HOWICK,
who explained his reason for leaving the Ministry,
but declared he should vote against the resolution ;
Sir JAMES GRAHAM, who made, in the Tory sense, an
effective speech against the Ministry ; and Mr. MA-
CAULAY, who made an able speech in their defence,
and attacked the Opposition, The three last speeches
gave sonic animation to the debate, and Sir JAMES
GRAHAM received considerable applause from his own
party. He indulged somewhat in personalities. Mr.
MACAULAY was not well received by the Tories, and
had some difficulty at first to procure a hearing,
as the Tories seemed to like to hear only their own
friends. The Right Hon. Gentleman persevered, how-
ever, and commanded the attention of the House for an
hour and a half. When he sat down the debate was
again adjourned.

The manner in which the more moderate and ra-

tional of the Tories disclaimed the sentiments
avowed in the name of the party with respect to
her MAJESTY, by -Messrs. BR ADsHA w, Iton Y.,
M'NEI LE, and CII A NDOS POLE, made us inclined
to give them credit for more loyalty than we now
find they possess. If the abusive language of some
out of Parliament was monstrous, we expected that
their conduct in Parliament would have set them
right with the QUEEN. What, then, has that been?
On the first day of the Session, the Duke of WEL-
L INGTON demonstrated his want of confidence in her

MAJESTY, by insisting on inserting in the Address
a word which implied that her MAJESTY did not
care whether her future husband were a Protestant
or a Roman Catholic. On Tuesday, when the
second reading of the Bill for naturalizing Prince
ALBERT was moved in the House of Lords in

due course, with no precipitation, when their
m-.:rely to suit the convenience of one Lord.
It is no excuse to say that the Tory Lords
were not aware of the contents of the Bill, it
was their duty to have made themselves ac-
quainted with them ; and for theta to plead igno-
rance is an acknowledgment of the grossest ne-
glect of their duty as Legislators. For the con-
venience, then, of one Tot', Law Lord, who had
some trifling pleasure to chase, a measure necessary
to be passed before her Majeety's marriage can be
celebrated, was put off three days. Certainly if
this be respect—if this be loyalty—if this be duti-
ful,
t have the Tories in the Commons
attachment—words have changed their meaning
since the Tories have been out oroffice.
What,

and, if possible, embarrass her MAJESTY ?
it
motion but an attempt to break up the Govern-
ment,too,
Certainly 1
- by no means tends to promote the
tranquillity
happiness. Again, what did the Tories about the
of the country, or her MAJESTY'S
grant ? Remember that Sir ROBERT PEEL ex-
pressly disclaimed all regard to the distress of the
people in supporting the reduction. Remember,
too, that the Tories have always been sturdy op-
ponents of economy in every shape, ridiculing it
as penny 7rise, and resisting it whenever they
could. What can we infer, then, from their sudden
attachment to economy,
but a pretence, in order to
have an opportunity to make the QUEEN feel
their power in Parliament, as out of Parliament
they had made her MAJESTY feel their abuse?
We look on their proceeding's since Parliament
has met, as fully confirming the opinions the rabid
amongst them avowed, and the hypocritical
amongst them disclaimed, before Parliament as-
sembled, and as stamping the whole party with all
the disloyal guilt, whatever it may amount to, of
Messrs. BRADSHAW, APNEILE, and RoBY.
If the Tories professed liberal or republican
opinions we should praise their love of economy,
and their attachment to what is, by prescriptive
right, the religion
of freedom, though it no longer i
merits that high character. But being professedly

divinc•right men, bating libetalism, deriding re-
publicanism, canting perpetually about the advan-
tages of mo;iarchy, and the duty of loyalt, their
present conduct contrasts strikingly with their profes-
sions. Under this aspect alone, and not as thinking
it ourselves any offence for either P:2ers or Com-
nion:rs to pre er what they suppose to be for the
public advantage to her MAJESTY'S pleasure, we
notice their conduct. Their present proceedings
add to the many proofs which are continually
forced on us, that this coercion-loving faction is
essentially as hypocritical as it is arbitrary and cruel.

The Paris .Tournals of Monday were received last
night, but their contents are of little interest. A des-
patch from Marshal VALLEE, dated the 18th ult.,
announces the continuance of tranquillity in French
Africa. The Marshal was,however, without late news
from Bona and Oran.

The Constilutionnel affirms that the great importance
of toe embassy at London, at the present moment,when
Russia is supposed to have obtained such an ascen-
dancy over Lord PALMERSTON, has given rise to
long debates in the Council about the appointing a
successor to M. SEBASTIANI. One section of the
Cabinet declared in favour of M. GuizoT, while
another were for M. BRESSON. Everything, it was
said, roust yield to the Royal pleasure. Louis PHILIPPE
is the most complaisant of Monarchs, so far as regards
the mere listening to the opinions of his councillors, but
he adopts only his own.
On Sunday Deputations from the Chamber of Peers
and Deputies waited upon the KING to felicitate him
on the proposed marriage of his son, the Duke
DE NEStouns, with a Princess of the House of
Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. They met with a most gra-
cious reception. As for the opposition Journals they
ridiculed the idea of the marriages of the younger
branches of the Royal Family being of any importance
to the French nation. In this they are not far wrong,
unless it is intended to nurture such an useless brood of
Royal Princes as devoured the finances of the country
during the reigns of Louis XIV. and Louis XV.
The saoner the collateral branches of Royalty are made
to descend to the rank and pretensions of simple citi-
zens the better for themselves and for their country.
Letters from Constantinople of the 2d instant, re-
ceived in Paris, state that, notwithstanding the want of
cordiality between the French Ambassador and the
Porte, RESCHID PACHA is pursuing his plans of reform
with great earnestness. The Ulenias aro less hostile to
the new order of things than they were r..t first ; and, as
they are the most influential of the Mahorntnedan
priesthood, any mitigation of their fanatical opposition
is important. The Oriental question appears to have
made no progress. RESCHID PACHA is neither on good
terms with the French nor the Russian Ambassadors.
He suipects both, and they each other.

The Paris Journals of Tuesday have all reached us'
We have likewise received the Echo de ?Orient-, the
,rournal de Smipue, the Semaphore de Alarseilles, and
the Harlequin, a Maltese Journal, all filled with the
common place gossip about the probable settlement of
the Oriental question. The rumoured alliance between
England and Russia has given rise to a thousand con-
jectures. M. Gutzor,is reported to leave all but ac-
cepted the Embassy to London. This appointment
is an untoward one. M. GUIzOT is the zealous partizan
of Russia, and may ft!' into the error of outbidding
Lord PALmEasToN for an alliance with the CZAR.
France ought not to allow herself to be discomposed by
idle rumours. British alliances must harmonize with
13ritish feelings, and this we think is a sufficient gua-
rantee against any cordial intimacy between the British
Government and the destroyer of the liberties of Poland.
The Maltese Journals mention the discovery of a
plot in Athens far destroying King Onto unless he
consented to embrace the Greek religion. had the
alternative been unless the KING displayed some ap-
proach to common sense in his conduct, it would have
appeared to us not very unreasonable. The execution
of the plot was fixed for the 13th inst., and the number
of persons implicated in it considerable. A Russian
agent was at the bottom of it.
The Memorial Bordelais states that the Queen of
SPAIN has conferred the Order of the Golden Fleece on
Prince ALBERT of Saxe Coburn. General ALAVA has
Been charged to invest the Prince with the insignia on
the day of the Royal marriage.
