CHINA.

Under the. SUPERINTENDENCE of the SOCIETY for
the DIFFUSION of USEFUL KNOWLEDGE.
THE CHINESE; a General Description of
the Empire of China and its Inhabitants.
By JOHN FRANCIS DAVIS Esq., F.R.S.,
Late his Msjesty's Chief Superintendent in China.
A New Edition, in 2 vols., Illustrated with Wood-cuts, price

93: in cloth.

" In Mr. Davis's account of China we find every subject
brought forward that can throw light on the laws and in=
stitutions of a people to whom, we think, th•.t justice
has not been rendered by foreigners which is their
due. Mr. Davis brings to his task advantages which
have fallen to the lot of few Europeans. He resided
twenty years at Canton, where he at length rose to be chief
of the factory ; he accompanied Lord Amherst's embassy to
Pekin ; and he ranks as one of the few Europeans who have
ever really mastered the language and literature of China.
He has rendered into English several pieces from their ro-
mances, their poetry, and their dramatic works, of which last
class, in all tongues, but more especially in the unique tongue
of China, it is particularly difficult to preserve the spirit in a
translation. We have a right, therefore, to consider the state-
ments which he has now submitted to the public as containing
as full and correct a view of this singulzr people, of their go-
vernment, laws, and institutions—and, in short, of the whole
frame of their society, as the many difficulties with which the
subject is beset will admit.—Quarterly Review.
as A few of the Fine Edition, in post Bvo., price One
Guinea, are still on sale.

b-ing put to the vote, whi-•h he was ready to do.
He then put the question whether he or Mr. France
should take the Chair ; whereupon Mr. France, ad.
dressing Mr. Hume, said, t, You have no right what-
ever to take the chair, end yell know it." Mr.
Hume replied, that if Mr. France could show his right
he would leave the Chair. On referring to some legal
friends near him, Mr. Hume was assured that the Sheriff
by law had t o such right.

During this commotion the meetirg in front of the hust-
ings continued to cry out, " Hume in the Chair ;" but some
40 or 50 individuals pressed forwari tumultuously towards
the chair, in order to remove Mr. flume forcibly, Mr.
Home's friends resisting the pressure, whilst Mr. France
in vain endeavoured to check the tumult, and was ul-
timately pushed off the hustings, amidst roars of
laughter, cheering. g-oaning, and greet uproar. flaying
recovered his place, Mr. France said to Mr. Hume that
he would indict. him and Mr. Wak.ley for a riot.. The
nressure increasing, Mr. France took a red book from
his pocket, gave it to his qtendant, and desired him to
read the Riot Act. The attendant thereupon read
something from the book, not a word of which was heard,
but which was or was supposed to be the Ribt Act. Mr.
Hume then immediately left the Chair, having informed
those around him that the Riot Act had been read, and ad-
vised Mr Wakley and his other friend, to disperse, and
with many of them forthwith quitted the room.

DRURY-LANE.

Since our last an important event has very suddenly
occurred. Drury-lane Theatre has been let to Mr.
Eliason, and he is to open it as soon as his arrangements
can be completed, with opera and farce ; music, vocal
and instrumental, will be the principal attraction. We
mentioned some weeks ago that there was a notion of
Mr. Eliason's continuing his concerts at Drury•lane
during the autumn and winter ; but we expressed our
opinion that they would not be profitable at that season,
and our doubt, moreover, whether the sub-committee
bad the power to dispose of the house for any such pur-
pose. It seems that both these notions are coincided
with : Mr. Eliason thinks that mere promenade concerts
will not fill the house, and the sub-committee apprehend
that under the terms of their trust they can no more
let the theatre ostensibly for the promenade concerts than
they could let it for a methodist chapel. There ore, Mr.
Eliason has, in a manner, bound himself to give drama-
tic entertainments, and we should be sorry to say one
word to discourage him in an undertaking which, if
successful, will supply hundreds with employment who
are now very maw] in want of it. We trust to cee at
least the musical part of the profession rally round a
man of such high and deserved reputation ; and, as be
has placed himself in the gap for their benefit, we hope
they will not begin their negotiations with the demand
of exorbitant terms. It is this (as we have .over and
over again urged, until the conviction has very widely
spread) which has mainly tended to reduce theatricals
to their present low ebb. Let singers and musicians
join Mr. Eliason, heart and hand, and do not j,et them
expect a scale of remuneration to which they are not
entitled, and the effect of which would probably be to
close the house and to deprive them' of all salary.
We have all along ridiculed the notion of a deposit
demanded by the sub-committee of managerneat at
Drury-lane. It is idle in these times to expect it ; and
by the total absence of all offers for the house, while
deposit was required, these worthies and wiseacres have
at length been compelled to relinquish the notion. As
soon as it was known that such a claim would not be
made, Mr. Eliason stepped forward, and offering a fair
rent, while the receipts continued such as to enable him
to pay it, he was accepted, and this is precisely the
situation at which the matter now stands.

If Mr. Eliason mean to confine himself to opera and
true his expenses will be less, because he
not require the costly additions of a tragic corn-
but, as at present advised, it seems to us ques-
b,l it is e
whether audiences can be found to fill Drury-
every night of the week, when the pertoiinces
ar'faviara°n irenlacelY ae
; so nv
exclusively musical. However, it is not fair to
prejudge any of his arrangements, and we end what we
have to say on this subject by heartily wishing him suc-
cess, and, as we believe him to be a most worthy man
and accomplished artist, by promising to give him our
best support in his new and hazardous undertaking.—

THE MARKETS._(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The arrivals of Grain last week were moderate, and trifling
since. The weather has been changeable, and this morning
the rain and wind were alarming the millers were, however,
cautious buyers of Wheat, but the speculators gave an advance
of Is. to 2s. per quarter on last week's prices. Barley, Beans,
and old Pease unaltered. New White Pease 2s per quarter
lower. Oats met a fair sale at rather higher prices. Flour
very heavy in sale at its late value. For new Winter Tares
such high prices are asked, that the buyers will not make offers.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES DEPARTMENT.
By the plan exclusively developed by the Society, a single
deferred annuity is made, nt.t only to answer the same object,
but to equal in amount the entire sum of all the advantages
heretofore only obtained by the middle and industrious glasses
by separate investments in Savings' Banks, Benefit Societies,
and Loan Banks.

1. A small yearly or weekly contribution will secure the
most ample return for after life; thus-21. 12s. per annum (Is.
a week) at 20 will at 65 give the policy holder the choice of an
annuity for life of 471. 16s. 6d.: 3941. I Is. in cash; or policy
without further contributions of 486/. at death,

a Two-thirds at any time lent on deposit of policy, being a
fund always available during sickness or want of employment.
3. Two-thirds of all payments returned to representatives in
case of premature death.

The report to the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors,
prospectuses, tables, &c., may be obtained at the office of the
Society, by letter or otherwise, '26, Cornhill, London, or at
any of its Branches throughout the country.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
(From the Times.)
We return to the question of the state of the British
navy. In a single notice we could only touch on one
or two of the more obvious points of the case. We
proceed, therefore, to allude to some other circum-
stances which greatly add to the seriousness of the re-
sponsibility whichnl a
nd arethe persons
at present
nit in,:u the
rring
however, let us briefly recapitulate the points on which
sry
in
England
we recently touched. These were—That the French
arc evidently bending every effort to the increase of
their navy, while on our part all is apparently wrapt in
slumber. That the French, by their own official state-
ments, appear to be building at least 50 men of war of
great size and power, while nothing on our side is done
even adequate to keep up our accustomed numerical
force of ships. That the French assure themselves of
being enabled to bring into action, " in a very short
time, 46 ships of the line, 56 frigates, and 48 war-
steamers." To meet which—or to meet even half this
force, if collected at any given point, it is idle to
suppose that our Admiralty could bring forward, in
any sufficient time, even a decent fleet of twenty sail.
" A statement derived from official sources" has just
made its appearance, which presents at least one whole-
some symptom—namely, that the people at the Admi-
ralty begin to stand in some fear of the public mind on
this matter. But such a statement ! Of the supposed
increase of the French navy our Admiralty scribe thus
summarily disposes:—" Many ofthese have no existence
but in name—not a single timber has yet been laid down
of these terrific monsters." Now, this is a rather se—
rious charge against
,the present French Government.
in
If the Administration of one of the leading empires
Europe can stoop to so miserable a manoeuvre as the
official publication of a list of ships of war in active
preparation, and capable of " being brought into action_
in a very short lime," whereas, in fact, these said ships.
or the greater part of them,
" have no existence but
in name," then the least
that
such a Cab;let can look
for is to have its imposture
detected, and
itself held up to the scorn 0!. turope. If our Ad-
miralty can establish the ;act by sufficient evidence,
that these v, kanr.7 ships and 20 frigates averred to be
now building;:a the French ports are not, in fact, build-
ins ut then it is a public duty to expose the trick,.
P:a.t to allay the misgivings which every Cabinet in
Europe has a right to feel. But we must be permitted
1 to say, that an unauthenticated and sweeping paragraph

TURKEY AND THE 'FUR'', S.
Tyas, London, 1840.
There is little that
olume, and what little there is, is not of much
it e ; but there is a great deal that is common-
place ; and not seldom the ut)le is so lo9se
and slipshod, that we hare some difficulty in
making out the author's meaning. Here is
a sample of his manner, and judging of the
sack by the sample, the reader, we fear, will
be tempted to pronounce it wholly worthless :
"The Greeks have been blamed for then intriguing
lisposition, and they have also a character for being
dishonest and duplicious ; but among them, as
tmong all nations, there are good and had ; when
you meet a good Greek, he is rtally a sterlin,t good
ine,and lam inclined to believe that the slavery wider
hich they have been kept, has had much to do
in the formation of their present character." Ob-
serve the exceeding caution with which the author
here launches a common-place truism, old as the
hills. He is by no means psitive—no, he dare not
.;o that length ; he thinks it better to be on the sate
,ide of the question, so is onl " inclined to believe"
that four hundred years of abject slavery have had
a detrimental effect on the Greek character i He
leaves it to bolder spirits to state that the fat t
actually is so; he himself is content with mo-
destly intimating it, by way of hypothesis. Now,
this is not discretion, but a burlesque of that
useful quality. We pass without comment the sage
and brilliant remark, that " among the Greeks. as
among all nations, there are good and bad;" but how
came the author to mase use of the word " dupli-
cious," which is a mere coinage from his own
mint ? He had far better have said " deceit-
tut," for then he would at least have heen
intelligible. .1s an instance of his very indifferent
gramtnar, we quote the following sentence, which
from the loose way in which it is worded, would
furnish an amusing riddle for a Christmas
tire-side ;—" The Greek women have the cha-
racter of being excellent mimics, and from
the tew specimens I saw, I think fully entitled to
it." The only readable part of the volume is the
account of the late Sultan's reforms in Turkey,
but even here The author does little more than tread
the same ground that a host of other writers have
trod before him.
