'HIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY.
Although the arrivals of English Wheat for our
Market, this week, have been very moderate, the show
of samples of that grain here, to-day, was somewhat on
the increase. Owing to the large imports of Foreign
Wheat, and the slight pressure of American Flour, the
Sale for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was heavy,
and, in some instances, the inferior qualities were dis-
'posed of at a trifling abatement in the quotations. For
all descriptions of Foreign Wheat we have to report a
very inactive inquiry, at barely. but at nothing quotable
beneath, Monday's; prices. l'he sale for Barley was by
no means so active as last week ; nevertheless, prices
were mostly supported. In Malt only a moderate
business was doilig, at late rates. There was a fair de-
mand for Oats at full prices. Beans and Peas were quite
03 dear ; but all other articles were much neglected.

MAGAZINES, &c. (CONTINUED.)

DOUGLAS` JERROLD.

Mr. Holl conclude Ills valtrab!e series of papers on
Young Wats' nin the number. The description of
the escape of this ill.tarred youth to America has all
the absorb rig interes of a romance. After describing
his leaving Mr. Holls house, at Camden Town, the
writer thus proceeds—
" His next remora was to Pendrill's house in New-
gate-street, and but short distance from Beckwith's
shop, the scene of hs mad folly, the cause of so much
peril to himself and oilers, and of death to his ill-starred
rescuer.
" The execution of Cashman was fixed for the next
day, and the noise of busy preparation in the erection of
his scaffold, reached Wesson as he lay. Barriers were
thrown up to keep the pople back, who, were expected
in multitudes to witness the execution, and the ham-
mering, or heavy fall of timber, struck upon his ear the
dreadful coming of the morrow! The man who saved
his life was to suffer death—death for his fault! The
thought was maddening and each fresh sound smote as
on his heart.
" The outdoor sympathy for the condemned Cashman
was great, and fearful of an outbreak, or attempt at rescue,
the military had orders to be under arms, in readiness to
repel any attempt of the expected multitude,
"With the dim morning, the people came! The gal-
lows was up! The man was to die! The fearful knell
of the dying, and his awful doom, called them forth as
with a soft voice from distant home and bed to see the
sight;' and the best vicw of mortal suffering was bartered
from many a window front or house-top.
" The grey morn had scarcely mixed with the black
night, and seekers for the best places came straggling on,
when a door opened, and Young Watson, Pendrill, and
Moggridge, passed forth, and made their way through
those who came or those who had already made their
stand. Passed by the very side of those who had sought
him far and wide. Him, whose name uttered on that
spot, would have made them spring as at a started deer.
He and his companions passed unsuspected on, and meet-
ing still at every turn fresh comers to the scene of death,
shaped their way towards Gravesend.
" The vessel in which he had secured his berth, the
Venus,' had dropped down the river, from the docks;
and once on board, he trusted to escape a doom, the
dismal preparations for which he had so lately left
behind. On they went, walking with stout limbs and
eager hopes to Gravesend.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
FORTUNATE ESCAPE OF THE DUCHESS
OF KENT.
WINDSOR, TUESDAY EVENING.—Last night, be-
tween seven and eight o'clock, as her Royal Highness
the Duchess of Kent and her attendant ladies were
proceeding along the Frogmore•road, on their way to
join the royal dinner circle at the Castle, an accident
occurred which might have been attended with very
serious circumstances to the Royal Duchess and her
ladies ; but fortunately, although► the carriage in
which they w ere riding was so much damaged as to
be past further service, they themselves sustained no
Personal injury whatever. The accident occurred in
the following manner :—A young man and his wife,
with another young woman, all of them in the service
of Mr. Hamilton Parks, of Woodside, Windsor Great
Park, were leaving Windsor, in a light spring cart at
the moment the Duchess's carriage turned into the
level road by the Waterloo Gate of the Home Park,
and his horse, a strong and spirited animal, taking
fright, it is supposed from the dazzle of the carriage
lamps, or from some other cause, and the young man
losing all control over him, the cart came in such
furious collision with the carriage as to tear away
eight spokes of the off hind wheel, and actually to
bend the axletree almost to an angle of forty-five
degrees. The driver and the two women were
thrown out by the concussion, and, it is said, seriously
injured; but medical assistance was immediately at
band, and they were removed to the Hope Tavern,
just by, whilst the horse gallopped off with the
shafts, &c.

" The bell had tolled. Newgate gave up its prey,
and the cart came on.

"The multitude was vast. And as the sheriffs ad-
vanced with that fearful cart and its death-doomed load,
the mob, in expression of their indignation, began to
groan and hiss ; attempts were made at rescue, and to
rush forward, but the barriers prevented their encroach-
ment, and the crowd was beaten back. Cashman alone
seemed careless of the fate awaiting him, and on leaving
Newgate, had said: lam going to die, but I shall not
shrink. I have done nothing against my king and
country, I have always fought for them.'
" The cart came rolling on—halted—and Cashman
mounted the gallows steps with a light and bounding
tread. The moment he appeared on the platform, the
groans of indignation mingled with hisses, were redoubled.
The executioner, to hasten his work, began to draw the
cap over his face, when ho exclaimed, "For God's sake,
let me see to the last.' His wish was complied with.
The bolt was drawn—the man was dead—dead without
a struggle.

" The street was thronged as for a fair; windows and
house-tops, filled with eager eyes, gazed on the sickening
spectacle! Alone, the house of Beckwith looked with
darkened windows on the sight!
" Meanwhile, Watson and his companions journeyed
on their way to Gravesend. Hoping, but fearful in their
hope, they passed along, and covered the long miles with
willing feet. The town was gained ; the vessel was in
sight. Yes, there it lay upon the waters, to him, at
least, a thing of life, of hope, and liberty.
" As it was not thought advisable to Young Watson's
companions that they should accompany him on board,
with a God bless you !' they parted with the flying
man, and after resting from their lengthened walk, they
journeyed back as best they could, and left Young Wat-
son to the accomplishment of his flight.
" On deck, and mid the murmur of a hundred tongues,
he dwelt alone upon the thought of freedom—of escape
from danger and pursuit. Yet up and down he walked
and felt each eye was on his, eager and suspicious!
Fearful himself, he conjured up a thousand and a thou-
sand foes, who crossed him as he walked! Who shall
know the thoughts of that young man, who fled from
death, yet feared its peril still at every turn? Alone,
he walked the deck, away from friends, from kindred, all
he valued—alone, and with but one thought—life!
" The time had come, and the vessel was to sail. Fond
eyes were stretching to the distant shore, while others
looked with sadness on their own, and wondered if they
ever should see it morel The vessel was to sail, the
goods were shipped, the passengers on board. The sails
were spread, and swelling in the wind, the ready ship
obeyed their impulse, and with eager leap ploughed up
the tide! All looked with curious eyes upon the sea-
man's craft, as sail on sail came swaying down, and
caught the willing breeze—all looked—but there was
still a pair of eyes, that looked intense, and burning!
The anchor weighed, and all was ready for a start, when
—Bomb! A gun was fired from the shore, the signal to
lie to.

" Had the shot struck his brain, it would scarce have
pained him less. Young Watson sank upon a seat, sick,
and powerless.
" With straining eyes, ho saw a boat put from the
shore—near and nearer it came to the stayed ship, and
seated iu the fatal craft, ho recognised Vickery and
Lavender, two Bow-street officers.
" Fancy,' he said when writing from a distant land.
Fancy my feeling of despair, when as the boat neared
the vessel's side, I saw my old enemies —Vickery and
Lavender, seated in the stern. They had some clue to
my method of escape—they had tracked me, and I gave
myself up for lost.' The boat reached the gangway—
was fastened to it, and the two officers, attended by a
magistrate, mounted the ship's side., They were followed
—Young Watson could scarce believe the evidence of his
sight—by an old and bosom friend of his—a Mr. Whit-
taker, a clerk in Somerset House. Escape was hopeless
—he was in their grasp!
"It afterwards appeared this young man had been
pressed into the aid of the police (who had evidently
obtained some clue to Young Watson's means of escape)
in the hopes some sudden look, or exclamation, would
betray him to their sight. For there is no reason to
suppose Mr. Whittaker ever would have played so false
a part as to turn bloodhound in the service of the law,
and scent his early friend unto his death. Whether or
not he recognised Young Watson, and had sufficient
command over his countenance not to betray him, must
ever remain a mystery, though the young man's appear-
ance was so changed, that even his old friend might pass
him by, unheeded and unknown.
•' Once on board, the officers eyed round them with a
keen and searching look. They came,' they said,
in search of some person who had committed murder.'
Every one was subject to the strictest scrutiny, and,
fearful of detection, Young Watson was about to go
below, and so to find a hiding-place among the many
recesses of the vessel ; 'twas well that he did not—for a
list of passengers was demanded by the officers, who
told them off by their names. The crew was subject to
the like inspection, and the vessel strictly searched.
" The officers were evidently at fault ; all were on
deck, and one by one they were made to run the
gauntlet,' and to pass between the officers, the magis-
trate, and young Watson's friend. A lynx•eyed watch
was kept, not only on his countenance, but on that of
each who passed ; when, strange to state, and affording
another proof of the singularity of Young Watson's
escapes, a young woman who was about to pass between the
officers fainted—whether from fear or what, we know not:
she was about joining a brother in America, and had
lately come on board ; fearful, as it was supposed, of
detention or some hindrance to her passage, she fainted
as she was about to pass, and drew upon herself the
greedy eyes of the police, who looked with much sus-
picion and distrust upon her fainting form. Young
Watson, with a quickness and readiness of wit only met
with in trying circumstances, immediately proffered his
assistance to ' support the young lady while they pursued
their search.' The offer was accepted, and the search
went on. Passengers, crew, all passed ; and, one by
one, they underwent the keen and searching inspection
of the police.

Sir George Couper, also on his way to the Castle,
came up almost at the moment, and the Royal
Duchess and her ladies were transferred to his
brougham, and so arrived at the Castle before the
accident was known there.

It is affirmed that this accident would not have
happened had not the road been so dark; but the
corporation of Windsor have decreed, that though it is
a much frequented road, it shall have only one gas
lamp, and that lamp close to the Castle entrance, so
that the remainder of the road, for nearly half a mile,
is in total darkness.

This afternoon the Duchess of Kent took a car-
riage-drive in the Great Park, in an open carriage
and four.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.
Mr. Henry Farren appeared last night in the cha-
racter of Dazzle, in the comedy of London Assurance,
and sustained the part most effectively. He
rattled through the character with the most amazing
volubility and coolness, and made every point tell.
He is, evidently, now beginning to feel himself at
home on the boards, and is getting used to his
audience; and, judging from what we have seen of
him, we think the time is not far distant when he will
be par excellence the genteel comedian of the day.
Mr. W. Farren and Mrs. Nisbett, and Mr. Keeley,
sustained their original characters of Sir Harcourt
Courtly, Lady Gay Spanker, and Mr. Adolphus
Spanker. What a glorious " bit" does Keeley make-
of Dolly Spanker—how rich—how unctions 1 In
such parts as these Keeley is unapproachable. The
house was crowded in every part, and the audience
were rapturous in their applause.
D

EAT!' OF THE RIGHT HON. SIR ROBERT
GORDON, G.C.B.—we regret to announce' the sudden
demise of this Right Hon. Gentleman, who, up to a re-
cent period, filled the office of British Ambassador at the
Court of Vienna. The melancholy event took place on
the Bth inst., at Ballmorral, Aberdeenshire. Sir Robert
Gordon, as our readers will be aware, was a brother of
the Earl of Aberdeen.

Tsar NORTH MAIL.—We understand that time
bills are now being framed by the Post-office authorities
for the acceleration of the Aberdeen day and night mails
by the railway through Fife, now open as far as Lin-
dores. The Dundee mail will be then sent with the
Aberdeen day mail, instead of at 10 30 A. 31. as at present.
—Edinburgh Advertiser.
The Duke and Duchess de Palmella and family left
Mivart's Hotel yesterday for Portsmouth, her Majesty's
steamer Viper being under orders and in waiting at
Spithead to convey them to Lisbon.
It is said that scarlet fever is very rife at IVar-
rington.
DUNDEE.—The linen trade is still languid, and
prices are declining. The demand for flax has much
decreased, and reductions have been made which, it is
said, will be followed by others.
The Queen has granted to Lady Wetherell, the
widow of the late Sir Charles Wetherell, her royal
licence to adopt the surname of Warneford, in addition
to and after the name of Wetherell, in accordance with
the directions of the will of Lady Wetherell's father,
Colonel F. Warneford, deceased.
POSTAL REGULATION WITH BREMEN.—The Ga-
retie of last night contains a Treasury warrant regu-
lating the postage on newspapers, and other printed
Papers transmitted between the United King-
-
dom, and Bremen. They are similar to those
recently established for other places on the Conti-
nent ; the route for newspapers to pass free from Bre-
men being " to Bremen direct, or via Cuxhaven, or any
vet or place within the territory of Hanover."
GLASGOW UNIVERSITY.—THE INSTALLATION OF
TEE LORD RECTOR.—Lord John Russell, we under-
stand, has intimated his intention of being in Glasgow
on the 27th or 28th instant, for the purpose of being in-
stalled Lord Rector of the University. Several corres-
pondents suggest the propriety of inviting his Lordship
to a public dinner on the occasion.—Glasgow Argus.
NOTION or MARRIAGE.—IIook being told of the
marriage of a political opponent, exclaimed, " I am very
glad to hear it." Then suddenly with a feeling of com-
passionate forgiveness, "And yet I don't see why I
should be, poor fellow, for ho never did me much harm."

" In -the mean time Watson placed the fainting woman
on a seat, and moved between the officers as they stood
--less, perhaps, an object of suspicion, from his recent
ready aid, than those who but obeyed the call and went
through the ordeal with indifference or complaint. He
walked between them, and his heart, in his anxiety, beat
with such a heavy pulse, he feared the officer must
have heard it as he passed.' rhe peril of his situation,
and fear of his detection, made it distinct, at least to
him. He passed ; and his joy may be conceived, when
he heard one officer whisper to the other, He is not
here."'

" The Dreamer and the Worker" is continued, and
Paul Bell gives us a paper on " Testimonials and
Tests ;" but after reading the account of the escape
of Young Watson, all other matters appear " stale,
dull, flat, and unprofitable."

THE BANKERS' MAGAZINE.I
This is an excellent number of this extremely use-
ful periodical. We have already extracted the ac-
count of the recovery of the notes stolen from Messrs.
Rogers and Co., in 1844. There is a good article on
the present position of the issue department of the
Bank of England, in which it is shown that the sepa-
ration of the two departments of the Bank is not so
great an improvement as the supporters of the Cur-
rency Act conceive it to be. " Elements of the Cur-
rency Question " is continued, the present part re-
ferring to the fixed price of gold. " Scheme of a New
Currency Act" is also continued; in the former number
two propositions were submitted and discussed—viz.,
that the fixed issues of the Bank be abandoned, and
the rate of interest to be charged on advances be
limited ; and, 2dly, that the Bank be authorised to
issue one-pound notes. Three additional propositions
are put forward in the present number—viz., " that the
country banks in England, in addition to their issues
as fixed by the Act of 1844, should be authorised to
extend those issues to an amount which shall not at
coinany toifmteheexrceeaelmd sor itttsm held

" that the banks in Ireland and Scotland should have

stead of gold, such issues of notes as they may re-.
quire beyond the limits affixed to their respective cir-
culations by the existing Act;" and " that the Bank
of England should hold, at all times, a portion of its
assets in the public securities of Continental States,
in lieu of an equivalent amount of the British securi-
ties at present held by that establishment." There is
also a " Second Letter to Country People on Coun-
try Banks," " The Savings' Bank Operations during
the last Half-year," " Banking and Commercial Law
on Frauds with Cheques drawn without Effects," and
the usual reports and communications.

from one part of the United Kingdom to another, or from
the United Kingdom to the Isle of Man, or from the
le of Man to the United Kingdom except in British
ships. This restriction, so far as passengers arc con-
cerned, was first imposed in 1845."

In speaking of the objections raised against the
abandonment of this system the Edinburgh acknow-
ledges that " the first and greatest obstacle" is the
sanction given to it by " the Master of Economic
Science." 'We cannot, however, with all our dis-
inclination to see a total abrogation of the existing
enactments, but coincide with the reviewer in think-
ing that the reasoning of the celebrated passage in
which Adam Smith calls the Act of Navigation "per-
haps the wisest of all the commercial regulations of
England" in a very great measure at " variance with
its conclusions." Many of the facts and figures given
in this adroit paper are forcible, and are such as
would admit of quotation in the House of Commons,
when the matter is agitated during the approaching
session. " Antiquarianism in England" is a calm,
critical, and toothsome compilation ; it would (to
employ a vulgar but expressive term) have been nuts
to Jonathan Oldbuck. " Germrny, from the Con-
gress of Rastadt to the Battle of Jena" is an histo-
rical synopsis of the events which transpired in
Vaterlund during that memorable interval. To
those who have perused the last volume published
of M. Thiers' " History of the Consulate and the
Empire" it will be curious reading, seeing how
frequently the writer is at variance with the eloquent
historian of Napoleon. In the course of an excellent
review of "Macgregor's Progress of America," the
Edinburgh remarks:(and with perfect truth), that
the present Member for the city of Glasgow "is so
thoroughly conversant with the art of dealing with
statistical figures, and long habit (as Secretary to
the Board of Trade) has rendered him such a master
of arrangement, that an inquirer, even moderately
familiar with such studies, will find himself easily
enabled to turn to the particular pigeon-hole
in which the materials he is in search of
essays are deposited."

will be read with satisfaction by all those farmers
who have recovered from their chagrin at the destruc-
tion of the protective system, and who are ready to
gird up their loins and compete valiantly and confi-
dently with continental agriculturists. " Napier's
Florentine History " is reviewed at some considerable
length, and most assuredly has furnished the text for
the most charming and delightful article for October.
In speaking of the work of this intelligent sea-
captain, the reviewer says, " It is agreeable to meet
with a history which is neither a compilation nor an
abridgment, and with an historian who reflects in his
rough and racy style the picturesque simplicity of
his originals." A few sentences, covering just five
pages of the Edinburgh, are devoted to the considera-
tion of " the Papal States and Pius IX." What is
said, however, upon this subject is said emphatically,
and although the dictionary has been very nearly
" used up in regard to eulogistic epithets by
the hundreds who have written and spoken
of the reforming Pontiff, the reviewer adds
another exclamatory panegyric to those which have
already resounded throughout Europe. " Pius IX."
he says, " is a ruler, resolute as Luther, yet gentler
than Melancthon. The commendation is as beau-
tiful as it is deserved. When alluding further on to
the Austrian policy towards the Italians, the same
writer remarks, " the instant that a spark of life
appears in Italy, the hoof of the Croat is set in
motion to tread it out." Yes, that has been true
almost for centuries, but it is true no longer. The
spark has spread into a conflagration, and the life
which has now appeared in Italy is the eternal and
unquenchable vitality of Freedom. In reference to
Louis Philippe's astute President of the Council and
Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Edinburgh senten-
tiously observes, " Whoever vvishes to study severe
morality on paper, will do well to read M. Guizot's
writings: whoever wishes tolstudyloose morality, illus-
trated by examples, cannot do better than track him
in his late Ministerial career." The remaining pages
of this liberal quarterly are devoted to the examina-
tion of the problem as to whether the prevention of
crime, by the extension of popular education, is
possible, and of the rights of property, as connected
with the " Celtic Clearings, Free Sites, and High-
land Passes." The character of No. 174 is more
sombre and matter-of-fact than is usual with the Edin-
burgh; yet that difference, however, is, for the time
being, acceptable.

THE QUARTERLY REVIEW. IVo. CLXII.
In an elaborate paper, headed " Parliamentary
Prospects," the Quarterly reviews the character and
the numerical peculiarities of the newly-elected House
of Commons. It is amusing to observe what flattering
unctions are laid to the soul of Conservatism by the
only distinguished organ still remaining to that once
powerful, but now discomfited and powerless party.
Out of the most adverse circumstances the most
flattering and encouraging possibilities are prophesied.
Out of the most forlorn returns the most miraculously
propitious divisions are anticipated. While acknow-
ledging that the Ministerial Members will muster in
St. Stephen's (though under the incongruous category
of Whigs, Radicals, Repealers, and Chartists) some-
where about 330 in number, the Quarterly estimates
the Peelites at nearly 80, and calculates that there
will be upwards of 236 Protectionists. A most san-
guine disposition certainly ! Yet even in this sup-
position of the relative proportions in the House there
must be an overwhelming superiority on the side of
the Russell Cabinet. For during
,the whole of .the
last session it was manifest that those individuals
who are distinguished as Peelites were unananitnous
and consistent in this coincidence with the views of
the Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Tamworth,
and that upon all occasions where popular reforms
were brought under the consideration of the Legisla-
ture, Sir Robert afforded the utmost assistance to
Lord John, both in the debates and in the division
lists. Such being the case, there is a moral certainty
that the Peelites will upon all important points swell
the majorities of the Administration, and taking the
modest estimate of the Protectionist organ as the cor-
rect one, that would give to Lord John Russell,
besides his original 327, an accession of numbers
which would raise his followers in numerical force to
407. We speak of the 327 being in principle Minis-
terialists, and we do so because, whatever may be the
opinions of the Repealers in regard to the administra-
tion of affairs in Ireland, it is certain that upon all
motions in which social and political reforms are
embodied, they, as well as the Radicals and the
Chartists, will fall in with the recognised supporters
of the Cabinet. Howevermuch the representatives
who are classified as
Radicals and Chartists may
aspire to effect still more sweeping
measures of inno-
vation, they will, as sagacious and provident re-
formers, afford every aid for the realization of lesser
improvements, if only as preliminary to others more
in accordance with their wishes. Having put the
numbers in this matter-of-fact way, we doubt
not but that the Protectionists would confess the
reality of the proposition somewhat after the irre-
levant, spiteful, and very evasive manner of Mrs.
Gamp, when driven into a
corner by her " frequend
pardner"---" w
ho deniges of it, Betsy Prig ?—Betsy
Prig, who deniges of it ?" So far then we may esti-
mate the supporters of Lord John Russell (even to
the showing of the Quarterly) at 407: and taking
into account the Members still unenumerated—
Two double returns

—and awarding these in the most partial manner--
namely, seven to the Protectionists, and six to the

porton :

incongruous, the most disunited, the most hetero-
geneous, and distracted body of innovators, pulling in
all imaginable directions, and thereby counteracting
each other in influence and
in purpose." Super-
ficially that objection would be forcible. It consti•
tutes, indileed, the most
p es specious foundation upon
which to bud up the hoof the followers of Lord
George Bentinck. But examine it for a moment, and
how the illusion evaporates ! Probe it, and how
shallow is its apparent profundity I How is it that
the Protectionists are united ? They are united in
the advocacy of a chimera, a dream, an impossibility,
a mirage which had long lured the nations on into a
wilderness, but which has now been dissipated for
ever. They are united for the restoration of restric-
tive laws which can never by possibility be written
again upon the statute-book, because they have been
burnt from the tablets of the Constitution by the
lightnings of Human Reason. They are united—
not by principle, not by a natural alliance—but by
spleen and despair, for the revival of a vision, and the
gratification of a spite ! What, on the other hand, is
the disunion supposed to exist among these 413
Ministerialists, composed of an apparently incongru-
ous jumble of parties—Whigs, Radicals, Repeaters,
Chartists, and Peelites ? What is their disunion ?
The Whigs may strive to continue in office,
the Radicals may agitate for universal suf-
frage, the Repealers may revile the Act of Union,
the Chartists may struggle for the acceptance of all
the several points of their Charter, the Peelites may
persist in preserving those golden apples of 1819 and
1844, which, according to a contemporary, have
proved to be " ashes in the mouth." But, in spite of
all this, as advocates of social and political reform, as
admirers of the popular movement, as men who are
in the van of social and
_political progression, Whigs,
Radicals, Repeaters, Chartists, and Peelites are

united—are unanimous--are identical. So much
then, for the cavillers at the new Parliament. So
much for the preponderance of the Protectionists in
the House of Comrilutig, So much for the vulnerabi-
lity and instability of At susell Administration.

the opening article of the Quarterly. "Evelyn's
Life of Mrs. Godolphin" is the subject •9f the
second paper, and, as its very title would lead
One to conjecture, is a pleasant mélange of
gossip and anecdote. The most scholarly
contribution for the present quarter is, however, the
criticism upon the essays on Homer, written by
Herrn Lachmann. All those who thumb the im-
mortal Iliad or Achilleid, as Mr. Grote would have it
called, will read this paper with a zest. Lachmann
was the first who had the hardihood to point out this
part, and this, and this, and this, as so many spurious
interpolations. Had the learned German fingered
the sword instead of the goose-quill, he would have
stood alone upon the bridge like Horatius Cockles, he
would have stabbed the lieutenant of Porsenna, he
would have led the French on among the quagmires
of Arcola. No man ever had more of moral audacity
than Lachmann, but Lachmann is a German critic,
and as the Quarterly says with emphasis—" At
every feast in the halls of literature the Ger-
mans, like Ajax at the table of Agamemnon,
will be entitled to the honours of the chine."
" Paddiana " is a facetious notice of a facetious
hook. An article entitled "Fanny Kemble and
Lear in Italy," being a double review of two works on
that inexhaustible subject by Mrs. Butler and Edward
Lear, is not at all to our taste, being flippant and
straggling beyond all allowable limits. "Jewish
Disabilities" is a powerful argument against the
admission of Jews into Parliament. There are, be-
sides, two able articles on "Talbot's English Etymolo-
gies," and on "Blackwood's Voyage and Darwin's
Structure of the Coral Reef." With much of pre-
judice and partiality, both political and religious, the
Quarterly evinces, as usual, the most distinguished
ability.

THE IVESTIIIINSTER and FOREIGN QUAR.

7ERLY. .No. XCIV. and .No. LXXIX.
As a supplementary addition—one, too, of a very
valuable description—this duplex Quarterly contains
a list of the Parliamentary Returns of 1841 and 1847,
printed with remarkable accuracy and distinctness.
The first paper deserves especial mention, being an
able inquiry into the " Improvement of Landed
Property." A rather dilatory notice of Leigh
Hunt's "Wit and Humour" follows, in which
divers other specimens selected from our national poets
are introduced. A hurried biography (suggested by
the one in Lord Campbell's recent publication) of
Lord Somers follows, and full justice is done to that
eminent and enlightened statesman. After this
comes a searching examination into Irish Municipal
Government; it might almost be called a diatribe on
its abuses. Stirling's " Philosophy of Trade" affords
a theme for critism not unwelcome at this period of
dilemmas in the money market, although the argu-
ments contained in the article are rather at variance
with those supported by the ability of the Westminster
Review on a preceding occasion. The project of the
" Colney Hatch Asylum," namely, an additional
asylum for lunatics in Middlesex, is considered in a
spirit of laudable earnestness in a subsequent contri-
bution, and due mention is made of the services con-
ferred upon suffering humanity by Dr. Conolly, the
admirable superintendent of Han well. We are by
no means satisfied with the next criticism, respecting
the " Natural History of Creation," and marvel at
the pernicious theories of a superficial and anonymous
geologist receiving such extravagant commendation
from a publication such as the Westminster Review.
The literary intelligence and miscellaneous notices
contained in the Foreign Quarterly are remarkable
for their variety and general excellence.

CHURCH OF ENGLAND QUARTERLY RE•
VIEW. No. XLIV.

One of the most admirable numbers, both for depth
of thought and treasures of language, yet published.
" Ecclesiastical and Civil History" is a comprehen-
sive and temperate disquisition upon the past occur-
rences of Christianity, accompanied with sanguine
anticipations as to the future vicissitudes and ultimate
combination of the faithful. The second edition of
Ranke's " Reformation in Germany" has elicited a
review of very considerable length and minuteness :
while Merle D'Aubigne's vindication of the character
of 0° Cromwell the Protector," is awarded immeasur-
ably
more
praise
amtheaannd it
wisriteinntgistleof entitled to,Thomas
without
Carlyle
mention of
which that illustrious author should have commanded.
" The Saracenic and Tatar Hordes" are depicted, or
rather their history is detailed in the following
article, being one hinted by the work of Simon
Ockley, of Cambridge, and the travels of a gentle-
man with a most appalling name, videlicit, Xavier
Hommarie de Hell. A description of " Jeru-
salem and the Holy Sepulchre" demands perusal,
and will rivet the attention of the reader. " De-
votional Poetry" is an eulogistic paper upon
those bards who have turned their lyres to the key
of the Canticle of Canticles. We are gratified to see
an old favourite (too little read) receiving that ap-
plause which his verse, from its grace of sentiment
and sweetness of language merit—we mean good,
honest George Herbert. " Speculative Philosophy in
the Nineteenth Century" is a bold and judicious
catalogue of all the principal speculative philosophers
or metaphysicians who have appeared in the last half
century. The briefer notices of books, forming a
supplement to the Church of England Quarterly, are
occasionally clever, and peculiarly miscellaneous.

THE OXFORD 4.ND CAMBRIDGE REVIEW.
The first, and by far the best, article in the present
number, " The Life of Spinoza," defends the charac-
ter of the philsopher from the various charges of
Atheism, Pantheism, and Mysticism, that have been
so freely urged against him. It asserts that Dr.
Clarke's celebrated "Demor.stration of the Being and
Attributes of God" is taken word for word (the pro-
positions, that is, on which it is built) from the writ-
ings of the man alleged to be an Atheist. Ridley, in
the 9th number of "The Churches of London," con-
tinues his touching Jeremiad on the absence and
disregard of those formalities in which the Puseyites
appear to believe the essentials of religion to consist.
He attacks Sir Chtistopher Wren, although professing
admiration for him as an able and enterprising archi-
tect, for not ) aying sufficient attention to the " Ne-
cessary Symoolism of Church Architecture." In fact,
not a single one of his erections, in the opinion of the
author, presents a correct model of a good parish
church. " The Colliery Act in 1847" appears to be
a continuation of an article published some months since
on the report of Mr.Tremenheere, the Government
inspector of collieries, in which fears and anticipations
were expressed of the very moderate utility of one
inspector over so large a field. That view is sup-
ported and the conclusion drawn, " that the Colliery
Act at present is not carried out, and never will be
carried out with only one inspector." " Revelations
of a Poll Book" is a curious examination into the
classes by whom the opposing candidates, Messrs.
Round and Gladstone, were supported during the late
election for the University of Oxford, showing that a
large proportion of the senior masters supported the
former gentleman, while the latter had a considerable
majority of the junior members. The doctors and
bachelors of divinity were more favourable to Mr.
Round, while the professors of the University sup-
ported his opponent in the proportion of three to two,
the public tutors rather more than two to one, and
the private tutors five to one. " Sunny Spots" and
" The Bedouin's Leap" are- the other contributions
in the present number.

" Krieli assembled the great body of his people at
his great place, publicly to announce his intention to
Join in earnest in the war. He added that he had
received proposals from Sandella to form a general
confederacy of the whole of the Kaffir tribes, in order
to make one united effort to overcome the English.
To-day, said he, we all fight; let us bury all our past
misunderstandings as a people, and unite against the
common enemy as one Kaffir nation. A unanimous
response was given to this proposal by his people, who
expressed themselves as most anxious to commence
the fight. They then formed a plan to send off small
parties to the frontier, while the main body remains
at home to fight the army when it comes out. Ma-
passa, the Tarnbookie chief, has joined Krieli with all
his people, and Pato with all his people."

DBATH OF SIR. THOMAS PIGOTT, BART.—We re-
gret to learn that Sir Thomas Pigott, Bart., expired
suddenly, on the 7th inst., at Denston 'Hall, Suffolk.
The deceased, who was son of Sir George Pigott, first
baronet, by his marriage with Miss Kelly, daughter of
the Right Hon. Thomas Kelly, was born in 1796, and
married in 1831 Miss Brummell, daughter of Mr.
William Brummell, of Wyrenhoe, E.:sex, by whom he
leaves a young family. The late Baronet was formerly
captain in the Royal Horse Guards (Blue).

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MkETING.

TUESDAY.
Without going the length to say that this was the most
brilliant Cesarewitch day it has been our task to report,
a e may safely affirm that in the almost summer-like
warmth, and the number and grade of the visitors, it has
tiot often, if ever, been surpassed. Many hundreds
arrived by the regular and special mans, and to these
being added large detachments from Cambridge and
Bury. the thing on the Heath became, i f not absolutely
" prodigious," at least very great. The interest of the
racing was confined to the Cesarewitch and Clearwell
Stakes. The first, it will be seen, was contested by no
less than thirty horses, one less than in 1846, and
resulted in the defeat of all the favourites, only one
cf whom obtained a place. The victor is a half-bred
Irish horse, whose recent performances at Manchester
was anything but indicative of the qualities that carried
him through so successfully this afternoon. We should
mention, with reference to this race, that just before
starting, Geraldine reared up and fell b ick, fortunately
without injuring her jockey, but, from the shaking and
fright that ensued to herself, must have prejudiced her
chance. The Clearwell was also adverse to'the favourites,
Blaze, an Irish horse, sustaining a defeat from Glendower,
after one of the strongest run races over seen. With this
short introduction we proceed to the usual return:—

A few minutes after the time appointed, the horses
were brought in order to the post, and got off well at
the first signal, the dropping of the flag in advance being
answered by the new starting telegraph, which was placed
conspicuously in the ditch, for the purpose of announcing
the start to the spectators. Cawroush jumped off with the
lead, followed by Ulysses, next to whom were Geraldine,
Giselle, Rob Roy, and several other light weights, the
heavy weights and Vanity lying in the rear. They came
in this order through the ditch, Ulysses keeping his
place until nearly a quarter of a mile on the fiat; he
tben fell back, and Giselle became second, Geraldine
following her. The race continued in this order to the
end, Cawroush, without ever being caught, winning
cleverly by a length, Giselle beating Geraldine by nearly
two lengths. Cossack laid off to the new ground, where
he quitted his horses, and took his place next Geraldine,
making so good a finish that he could not have been
beaten more than half a neck, or half a length, for third
place. Pillage was fifth, and Lady Wildair sixth. Next
to this lot came St. Demetri and Wolfdog, and then a
ruck of at least a dozen. Rob Roy, War Eagle, Remi-
niscence, and the Goodwood horses, were beaten a long
long way. Run in 4 min. 2 secs. Value of the stakes,
1,6201. _ _

Shortly before the race came off, a covey of partridges
made their appearance in the centre of the course, a❑d
the whole of them, at least a dozen, were fairly run
down and killed.
