BRIGHTON.
OCTOBER 25.—The weather continues very squally.
Yesterday a Dutch vessel passed here with loss of sails,
&c. On Saturday the John Willis, from Demerara,
bound for London landed her letters by the Dover
pilot boat Tally Ho! The John Willis had upwards
of twenty children of wealthy planters on board as pas-
sengers to this country for their education.
Brighton is remarkably full at the present time. Last
week the greatest number of letters was delivered here,
as the number from London alone was nearly 32,000.

QUEEN CHRISTINA'S JEWELS.
(From the Charivari.)
Mon Dieu ! what an ungrateful world we live in
In what nook Virtue has contrived to hide herself no
one now can tell. It is, in fact, a mere abstraction, no
longer to be met in real life ; and gratitude is but an
empty word ! Will our indignation be pardoned?
Alas ! it emanates from a pen which is endowed with
only too excessive a sensibility, whose flexible and ten-
der nib yields forth with but too much facility the ink
of its darksome wrath, the tears of its sympathy !
It is not many days back since we presented our
readers with the history of a cofferet (well-beloved
token!) that appeared then to our simplicity to be the
only thing which this unfortunate, this innocent, this
persecuted and queenly woman carried with her out of
Spain ; but we were deceived. This touching souvenir
this adored cofferet, is not the sole reminiscence which
Christina hath preserved of that ephemeral royalty,
whose alpha was the Palace of the Escurial, whose
omega is the 1 t.lO Hotel de Courcelles at
Paris. She wears one over her Royal heart, and
upon her " unimpeachable white" and swelling
shoulders other cherished tokens of departed
splendour. She carries them, too, on her arms, on
her hands, they are closely fitted round her throat, they
encircle her head, and are pendent from her ear?. They
sparkle on her forehead, she has beaucoup—beaucoup
also in her hair, some few round her waist, and the rest
everywhere ! Where has she them not ? Too tender-
hearted woman, who would not separate herself for
life from the throne, without preserving some few
pledges of the tenderness of their mutual affection,
r mongst its prec'ous appendages ! Has she not also
carried away the crown itself ? Qui sail ?
Ingrala patria ! (t.s all the Italian Operas say) with
whit (lost thou reproach her? Cnristina would not con-
sent to such a multiplicity of vain and dangerous riches
remaining in the national treasury. Bewildered mor-
tals love to their own perdition that rile metal which is
commonly called gold, and this compassionate Queen,
ever watchful with motherly care for the good of her
millions of children, readily comprehended that the thirst
of gold might extend itself to diamonds ; she carried
away with her every possible cause of civil strife. Who
can tell what may come out of a jewel-box ? Ecring
are Pandora-boxes stamped by the Royal mint ; and,
thanks to Christina's prudent vigilance, there is not a
jewel-box left in Madrid.
Like Bias, the Greek philosopher, who was doubtless
the intimate friend of the Abbe Barthelemy, Queen
Christina carries all her fortune on her person. Poor
woman, only seventy millions' worth of diamonds! How
can she subsist with so little!
It must be confessed that the Spanish people show
the worst possible taste in bearing her spite. Who will
think of performing good actions after such horrid ex-
amples of ingratitude? Who will cherish kind and
generous thoughts—withdraw from the sight and reach
of the people every possible occasion of temptation—
spare it the opportunity of sinning—pluck out envy by
the roots by leaving it nothing to envy; teach it to de-
spise riches through their utter absence, as grapes of
indisputable sourness ; strain every nerve to make them
comprehend that happiness consists in a contented me-
diocrity, and that virtue flourishes best in the shade of
poverty—who, I say, will troulla themselves about
teaching the people all these sublime lessons, when here
is a sample of their recompense? It is enough to dis-
gust profound devotedness.

- Alas! what bitter reflections must these make at
times in that modest asylum of thine in the Rue de
Courcelles, poor Christina! Your intentions have been
misunderstood—your conduct has been unjustly crimi-
nated. Yvt, weep not, oh plump Queen ! You still
have left your conscience and your coffer; and even if
both these failed you, your jewels would remain. Those
have followed you to the land of exile ; they will be
faithful to the last ; and your tears will dry themselvss
before the sparkling fires of diamonds only less bright
than your eyes.
Yet must it not at all be supposed that Christina
loves these jewels because they are jewels. Allonc
done! The lovely Neapolitan, and sister to the
Duchess of Berri, with a touch of the same romance in
her character, has far too high a heart! Her pre-
cious stanes are are merely s)nsbols in her eyes.
Emeralds are the representatives of memory, and rubies
of hope. She reckons her regrets by the number of
her amethysts, and enumerates her past impressions with
her diamonds for counters. For each phase of her ex-
istence she has a separate box of jewels.
Oa passing into her seeretaire, one is astonished at
the quantity of brilliacts which the heart of a Queen
can take in. Alas! all these arc the symbols of joy or
of grief. What a thoughtful life must yours have been,
Christina!

Seventy millions of souvenir, and hopes! Oa those
,ivory shoulders alone repose 3,500,000 francs' worth of
excellent rents! And can it be expected that she
should hate left all these behind her, forsaking (that is
to say) the whole of her most sacred and domesticilife,
all the mysteries of her heart, all the emotions of her
youth, all the dreams of all her nights, in a vile iron
coffer at the Escurial and the cabinets of Buen Retire ?
Why, it would be to compass the death of this poor
Queen. Why, barbarcs, it would then be a gratifica-
tion to you to see her expire beneath your very eyes !
Shade of the Cid, what aayst thou ?
To-day, in the solitude of La Courceller, on the
days of kissing hands, when MM. de Toreno, Martinez
de la Rosa, and lots of 'Lea Bermudezes, open the fold-
ing-doors of the Royal boudoir, all the devoted servants
of the ancient monarchy behold with dazzled eyes, and
regard with transport, the person of their beloved Maria
Christina, cx-rcina gobernadora, sparkling all over with
precious stones ; the iuturc is on her head, and the past
upon her shoulders. The hidden fires of rubies and
brilliants, the lustre of topazes, the sparkle of agates,
the deep lustre of amethysts, the tender radiance of

emt.:alds, the pure lustre of pearly, stimulate enthusi-
asm an warm devotion, inflame the courage and vul-

It was a bracelet that sent O'Donnell skipping over
the Pyrenees! El Pastor was vanquished by a brooch,
and one peep at a pearl necklace made Urbistondo's
sword to " leap from it 3 scabbard !"

The muskets of Navarre came forth from Christina's
jewel-boxes—a sort of arsenal.

Board. There was a boy of the name of Lyon, in the
Commercial School, who, being of the Jewish persua-

she could not conscientiously allow the boy to -
