General Bou.a.Tom.y to Lisle under arrest, has elicited
criticisms from most of the organs of the public press.
It is commonly looked on as a hasty, injudicious step—
the only fault of which Marshal SOULT could ostensibly
complain being that the General, not content with ad-
dressing a remonstrance to him, had communicated it to
several journals, and thus had appealed to public opinion
in his quarrel with his superior officer. The expression
Les bayonnettes intelligentes turns out to be the pendant
of the Charte-verite. The Marshal sees no reason why
he should stick at trifles when the " Grand Escamoteur"
has played off his tricks so successfully, and has cajoled
with such signal impunity, the credulity of the French
public. •
A rumour is current in Paris, and it is not devoid of
probability, that the Great Powers of Europe—England, ,
Russia, Austria, and Prussia—that is to say, to the
exclusion of France, are deliberating on the measures
they shall adopt in case of certain eventualities, which
are not impossible coming to pass in the East. Not that
apprehensions are entertained of any opposition from
MEHEMET ALI to the settlement now effected by the
Conference of London ; but if, which has happened
more than once, a sudden domestic revolution should
occur at Constantinople ; if the young SULTAN should
suddenly die, by poison or other causes not unknown to the
annalists of the Seraglio, or if the present disorganization
of the European arid Asiatic provinces of the Ottoman
Empire should increase rather than diminish :—in any
of these circumstances the Great Powers might be
forced, in order to preserve the peace of the world, to in-
terfere on an extensive scale, and perhaps to make a
complete resettlement of the States in that part of
Europe. Without their ideas extending to a partition
of the Ottoman Empire; they are believed to be occupied
in making amicable arrangements beforehand for the
relative parts they shall play in this great political
drama ; and they are said to be agreed on one point—to
let France have as little to do with the matter as possible.
One division of the Toulon fleet, under Captain
LERAY, has sailed, nominally for Tunis. The Toulon
Papers insinuate that after a cruise off that part of the
African coast these vessels will sail to the west, and will
help in effectitg changes of regiments between Algiers
and France. This is highly improbable ; persons in
well informed quarters consider the sailing of the fleet in
two divisions (the other is under Admiral DE LASSUSSE)
to the south, ,to have been ordered with the idea of not
awakening too much suspicion • and that the divisions
will ultimately join either off dandia, or somewhere in
the Archipelago.
There is said to be a division in the little Court of..
Don CAnLoa, at Bourges, where a party is endeavouring
to set up pretensions on the art of that Prince's eldest
son against those of his father's to the Crown of Spain:,
to bring about in fact the abdication of Don CAnLos in
his favour, thereby placidg, those Princes on a similar
footing to the Duke D'ANGOULEME and the Duke de
BORDEAUX'', with regard to France ; the two latter, how-
ever, being uncle and nephew, instead of father and son.
The Prince of the ASTURIAS is a man of more ability,
perhaps, than his sire, but there is not much likelihood
of anything of this kind taking place. Meanwhile, Don
CARLOS continues to exercise acts of sovereignty among
his immediate followers, and dispenses nominations and
promotions, civil, military, and ecclesiastical, just as if he
were enthroned at Madrid.

The Prince of PRUSSIA has returned from Magdeburg
to Berlin, and the Grand Duke and Duchess of MECII-
LENDURG STRELITZ have arrived in the same capital
from New Strelitz, the fetes consequent on the marriage
of their daughter with the Crown Prince of DENMARK
being determined. Prince BERNARD, of Solons-Braunfels,
is also among the arrivals at Berlin from Hanover. The
Danish man-of-war Christiern VIII. was off Warne-
munde on the 19th inst., waiting to convey the Crown
Prince of DENMARK and his Consort to Copenhagen.
Preparations on a grand, scale had been made in that
capital for receiving their Royal Highnesses on the 21st.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.

The election excitement in the City having in part
subsided, attention. is gradually reverting back to busi-
ness matters. The numerous petitions coming over
from the British North American colonies seem to
point to the necessity of some modification in the Minis-
terial plan respecting the timber duties, which many
staunch friends of the Government seem to think may be
advantageously effected, by not raising the duty on
Canadian produce, but letting it', stand as at present,
while the reduction should be made in the Baltic
staple only.
The express, in anticipation of the overland mail,
does not, of course, bring private letters, except to a
very few parties ; and the main points are therefore
detailed in another part of The Sun. The Tea Market
became very dull upon receipt of them.
In some measure the stoppage of Whitmore and Wells'
bank has tightened the Money Market, and thus rather
ncreased the difficulties attendinhr the preparations for
ipaying the bills of exchange falling due on the 4th in-
stant. The funds, however, have been very firm again
to-day. Consols were 89:1 to 90 ; Exchequer Bills were
a shade better, viz., Bs. to 11s. premium ; India Bonds
were steady at 2s. premium ; and the Reduced Three-
and-a-Half per Cents. at 99 to * ; the Three per Cent.
Reduced Annuities were at a rise to 894 to 90.
'ln the Peninsular and other securities the transactions
were very limited; Spanish Active Bonds were heavy,
at 22; Portuguese new Five per Cents. were marked 314
without the half dividend ; Mexican Stock of 1837 was
at 27-14- to ,13- ; and Colombian at 21/ ; Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. were at 51* to I ex dividend.
For Shares very full prices were obtained. Great
Western were 27 to 27/ ; the New 121 to 4 ; and the
South Western 161 premium ; Brighton were 3 to 31 ;
Hall and Selby 2- ; North Midland 32 ,• and Northern
and Eastern 91 -discount ; London and Westminster.,
Bank Shares were 2 premium ; and Australia Bank 181
premium.

We have received Demerara papers to the 15th May.
On Tuesday last, 'at nine o'clock in the morning, the Portu-
guese brig Dous Tevereiro, a slaver, was brought into Berbice.
She had been captured by her Majesty's schooner Fawn, when
cruising on the Brazil station, and carried to Rio Janeiro.
The number of slaves the prize originally shipped from An-
gola, on the African coast, was 510, but when taken they were
reduced to 380, of which 180 were ordered by the British au-
thorities in Rio to be conveyed to the nearest British pert,
and, this being New Amsterdam, Berbice, they were brought
thither ; the remainder was left at Rio, on board her
Majesty's frigate Transeent, a vessel kept for that purpose.
Of the 180, twenty died on the passage from Rio to Berbice.
The prize is a brig of 250 to 280 tons. They consisted of
men, women, and boys, the most of them are very young, and
in a most miserable condition.

Plantation Peter's Hall was purchased by the securities of
Mr. John Osborne and Mr. T. C. Bagot, for 113,000 dollars.

MAGAZINES—(CONCLUDED.)
TAIT S MAGAZINE.
In an article on " The Present Duty of Re-
formers," Tait justly observes, "although the
Tories should come in, maimed and halting, with
a slender majority of from ten, to twenty or thirty
'votes, there is no cause for discouragement.
Ultimate victory is but a question of time, and
may be the more complete if, having been
fiercely striven for, it is hardly won. We have
always had much faith in the uses of a powerful
and united Opposition." We agree with Tait,
that in the fierce Parliamentary struggle that
will shortly be resumed between the Liberal
party and the Tories, the victory will ultimately
be with the former, unless, indeed, the latter
consent to throw overboard all their long-
cherished schemes, and adopt a generous and
conciliatory course of policy. But this they can-
not do, for the majority of the faction consists
of incurable bigots, who would unhesitatingly
abandon their leaders the instant they found
them adopting enlightened views of legisla-
tion. As they acted towards Sir Robert
Peel, when, in spite of them, he carried Catholic
emancipation, so would they act again, were he
to venture to set at nought any one of their dar-
ling prejudiges. As the writer remarks, " the
Tories will grapple their pillage to the last, and
die in the last ditch in defence of their right to
tax our food." It is this tenacity of purpose
which disregards all prudential considerations,
that will, ere long, we confidently predict, prove
the utter ruin of Toryism. The " Hairy-iVlug
Mania, or Pussy-Puppyism," is a quiz on the
prevalent rage for huge whiskers and mustachios.
It is very silly—indeed, in places, is scarcely in-
telligible. " More Light on the Danube " gives
,some entertaining particulars respecting some of
the numerous towns and cities that lie along the
course of this majestic stream. The writer hits
off his descriptions with ease and tact. "The
Green Gauntlet" is tIT-eontinuation of a story,
the first portion of which has already appeared
in this Magazine. The battle of New Ross be-
tween the King's troops and the rebels, in the
dreadful year 1798, is related with a vigour equal
to that which Baynim has shown, in iis account
of the same sanguinary conflict in the " Croppy."
" Life and Remains of L. E. L." is' a kindly
critical notice of the lately well-written remains
of this lamented lady. From the " Ode to Loch
Lomond we quote a pleasing passage or two:—
'Tis morn, and o'er Ben Lomond's brow
Flings the pale moon her parting glow ;
Resumes the sun his orient dress,
And bathes the lake in loveliness ;
And gilds the isles that o'er it lie
Like clouds on an inverted sky ;
In bracing sweep the early breeze
Comes forth to wake the drowsy trees ;
The fisher hoists his patch of sail,
And spreads it to the kindly gale ;
While hoarse and rude the wild-fowl screams,
As if to scare thy deep night dreams ;
Oh rthen, blessed Lake, what heart so dull
AS not to feel thee beautiful !
Bright Lake, from yon blue canopy
The mid-day sun now smiles on thee !
Full fain his hot red beams to lave
.Deep, deep, beneath thy gelid wave,
As he, all warm in love's young joy,
That wooes a maiden cold and coy :
The birds that flit thy margin by
Imbue the air with melody :
. The fishes 'neath thy waters play.
And there hold blythsome holiday :
The rustic's whistling o'er his plough,
The kine are on the mountain's brow ;
The lambs frisk round the shepherd boy ;
In ripples smooth thou smil'st thy joy,
And prattling babes thy pebbles cull,—
Oh now too thou art beautiful
In rich red hues the gorgeous even
Now steeps the deep serene of heaven :
Wearied of play the little springs
Now hush in thee their murmurings,
As romping children, sport opprest,
Couch calmly on their mother's breast.
Now youths 'and. maidens pace thy shore,
And con the heart's loved lesson o'er ;
Or pause to list the strains that float .
Across thee from the distant boat ;
And feel, as breast to breast is heating,
•
A&cheek with cheek is purely meeting,
As eye to eye fond tale is telling,
And soul to soul is softly swelling—.
Feel that if bliss on earth there be,
"ris theirs this holy eve by thee ;
At twilight's hour so calm, so cool,
0 Lake, thou'rt e'en more beautiful.

THE CHURCHMAN.
There is an intelligent• essay in the Number
before us, on " Christian Education," which de-
serves the reader's attention, for it is penned in
a placid, Catholic spirit. The following remark
is perfectly just, and borne out by experience :
" The Encyclopaedist, when we put him down
to distinct branches of study, becomes little over
parts, though mighty in a whole; the generalizer
becomes the worst individualizer conceivable."
" Fairy Mythology" is a curious paper, by the
Rev. H. Christmas. The poetry of the Number
is little, if at all, above absolute common-place,
