HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly before Four
o'clock.

Mr. W. EVANS presented a petition from Derby-
shire against the Diplomatic Relations with Rome
Bill.

Colonel P. THOMPSON presented a petition from
Bradford on the subject of the health of towns. The
petitioners stated that they felt that some such Bill
was necessary, but they objected to the principle of
centralization. The Gallant Colonel also presented a
petition from Bradford against the imposition of
the income-tax, and praying that the legacy
and probate duty might be imposed on real pro-

estate.—(Hear, hear.)

the metropolis, attributing it to the present state of
the poor-laws, and praying for the appointment

petitioners stated that under the existing law the poor
were treated more like pigs than human beings. The
Hon. Member gave notice of his intention to-morrow

THE METROPOLITAN.

An extremely sententious but sound and clever
essay on " The Fictitious and Popular Literature of
the Day," is contained in the number of the Metropolitan
for March, penned by a contributor who modestly con-
ceals his name under his initials. " A Few Thoughts on
Wine" are decidedly thoughts of flavour—they might
impart a relish to a dish of walnuts, and a jug of
claret. "Clarendon" is the serial tale of the Metro-
politan, and is continued with spirit, though the
writer is occasionally given to a rather undue amount
of prolixity. " Alarmaduke Hutton," in like manner,
affords an agreeable half-hour's reading, though we
are more than doubtful that the mind of the reader
during that half-hour would be rather entertained
than ripened.

THE MAN IN THE MOON.
Under the facetious editorship of Angus B. Reach
(Albert Smith having withdrawn from his literary
partnership in the undertaking) ;The Man in the
Moon progresses! ridiculously well. The adven-
tures of, Mr. Touchango Jones are pursued with a
grotesque pencil, by Hine—so, at least, we imagine,
from the very laughable sketch of Bones, and the
exquisite (denouement in which the hero becomes the
King of Quashybungo. As a Fancy Portrait, the
woodcut of a red Indian, tatooed frightfully, with an
inkstand as a top-knot, two quill pens decorating his
ears, a tomahawk in his girdle, and a scho-
lastic bludgeon in his hand, Mr. Walter Savage
Landor is correct. One capital definition we
must give—it is the word " muff." "A muff is a
thing which holds a young lady's hand without
squeezing it." That is a better definition, we take
it, than could have been given by Johnson or Boyer.
" Mr. Chisholm Anstey's Dream" is the best thing in
the number. The third black sketch in it, is inimi-
table—a very calotype of the Foreign Secretary.

and true unto you, or to whomsoever her Majesty places
over 1.18, and faith to you bear for the lands which I hope
to hold of you, and that I will lawfully do to you the
customs and services which I ought to do in the terms
assigned, viz. :
I. To obey the laws and commands of the " 'piton
Inkulu," the representative of our great Queen, and the
commissioners given to protect us.
2. To compel my people to do the same.
3. To disbelieve in, and cease to tolerate or practise,
witchcraft in any shape.

derer. . _

6. To make my people honest and peaceable, never to
rob from the colony, and never from one another.
7. To acknowledge to hold my lands, not as a matter
of right, which is forfeited by my own trangressions,
murders, and spoliations, on the peaceable inhabitants of
the colony, but from her Majesty.
A. To acknowledge no chief but her Majesty the
Queen of England, and her "Inkosi Inkulu," or whom-
soever he leaves in his name, aided by the Commis-
sioners Mackinnon, Maclean, Brownlee, and Fynn.
9. To abolish the sin of buying wives. (You shall not
buy vt it is the base of all robbery.)
10. To listen to the missionaries, and make my people
do so, anti to be glad to send our children to school, to
learn those habits of industry and knowledge which
make Englishmen rich, good, happy, and clothed.
(Ask Sandilli where the pouch is I gave him long ago.
Look at him now! Next year I hope to see him rich and
clothed, Almighty God looking down upon him and
enriching him.)
11. On the anniversary of this day to bring here to
King William's Town one fat ox, in testimony and ac-
knowledgment of the land I hold from her Majesty.

THE ECLECTIC REVIEW.

A spirited defence of the Dissenters from the charge
of ignorance commences the March number of the
Eclectic, though the defence is tempered with recom-
mendations as to the improvement of the literature sup-
ported by that portion of the Christian world in Eng-
land. A review of " Richardson's Travels in the
Sahara" is followed by an indifferent criticism on the
splendid work of the Republican statesman Lamartine
—" The History of the Girondists." In a foot-note
we observe that the eloquent and noble Christian, the
Count de Montalembert—Le jeune homine—is spoken
of as a bigetted Legitimist,,when only a few days back
that young orator gave in his adhesion to the Provi-
sional Government. These blunders, however, arising
from virulence of religious opinion, are amply com-
pensated by the generous and enlightened commen-
tary upon the Jewish Disabilities Bill, with which
the Eclectic concludes.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC AND

THE ENGLISH CHARTISTS.
The Provisional Government received a deputation
of the Central Committee of the Chartists of London,
charged to present an address, which was adopted at
a meeting, held on the 2d, in London. This address,
after expressing the high admiration of the English
patriots at the courage and magnanimity of the French
people, concludes as follows :
" If Kings, if oppressive Governments, forgetting the
lessons of the past, dare again league themselves against
France, and declare war against your liberties, be as-
sured, citizens, that this time the people will not range
themselves under the flags of their tyrants. You aro
the advanced guard of the soldiers of liberty, and we
can assure you that the English people would never lend
themselves to an impious war against their brethren of
France."
M. Garnier Pages, member of the Provisional
Government, replied :
" We receive with gratitude the sympathy of the
English Chartists. They prove to us that England has
perfectly understood the object of our glorious revolu-
tion, and the high mission of the Provisional Govern-
ment. This mission must be peaceably accomplished by
the movement of ideas, and we are convinced that, if the
English Government should ever desire to make war on
us, it would be prevented at the very instant by the
English people; for fraternity in the interior, and fra-
ternity among all nations abroad, is what must for ever
sustain the energetic men who have fought for liberty.
Take care to tell the English Chartists that, in
.the Pro-
visional Government, you have found the liveliest sym-
pathy for those who suffer; tell them that the revolution
has been made by the people and for them; and that the

LE FOLLET.

Another number (the eighteenth) of Le Follett only
confirms us in the opinion we have already frequently
expressed, that it is wholly without a competitor.
The plates are beautifully engraved, sketched,
coloured, and printed, and are worthy of preservation
as delicate illustrations of the female costumes of
civilized life.

HOOD.

One of the ablest numbers of Hood that has ap•
peared for a considerable time—several of the con-
tributions being of superior excellence. As yet we
cannot exactly perceive how " The Times; or, Mo-
dern Philosophy," can be called by the editor a novel.
A curiosity it unquestionably is, but beyond that
we are unable to speak until the narrative is more
developed. " The Treasure Seeker of Herculaneum,"
by Horace St. John, is a graceful imagination; and
the " Noctes Dramatic," is a pleasant contribution
though one headed by rather a dangerous title, as one
in.cicuclug a (claimable comparison with the
famous and delectable " Noctes Ambrosianm."
Among the other papers for March we must particu-
larise the continuation of the " Peminiscenses of a
Retired Surgeon," although that again is a theme
which in its name excites a perillous comparison
with the memorable" Diary of a Late Physician." In
the general arrangement of the magazine there is,
altogether, a decided improvement.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTEL

LIGENCE.

MALTA, Disc. 24.—A dreadful accident occurred
on board her Majesty's steamer Oberon on her pas-
sage out. She twice caught fire, and the men were
beat to quarters ; her decks were cut up round the
funnel, which became red hot, and she was in some
danger. She is obliged, of course to repair damages.
A man on board, in rendering assistance, and not
knowing that her engines were oscillatory, by acci-
dent placed his foot on a part of them, and he was
carried with the engine below and crushed to death.
The dreadful news was not communicated to Lady
O'Ferrall until her arrival here.
The Oberon made a splendid passage out, having
been only eighteen days, of which two were spent at
Lisbon, rwo at Gibraltar, and three at Algiers.
At the last named port his Excellency arrived out
the evening when his Royal Highness the Duke
d'Aumale held a levee, which he attended, and was on
the following day received with every honour, having
been most hospitably treated by the Royal Duke, and
saluted on landing.
The India mails, vid Southampton, due here on the
13th and 14th, did not reach, on account of the Erin
putting back from bad weather and another steamer
being ordered on, till the 22d inst.
It is greatly to be feared that they will not reach
Suez before the mailboat for India leaves that port,
though they were forwarded without loss of time by
the Ariel.
It is reported as certain that the fleet of Sir W.
Parker will not return till the second week in
January.
The portion of her Majesty's 69th Regiment which
reached Malta by the Blenheim, and is enduring
quarantine from a case of smallpox on board on her
outward passage, is likely to suffer a longer period
than that originally fixed upon, as other cases, thougb
fortunately not fatal, have been reported since the
companies hare been in Fort Manoel. We have
heard of three during the last week.
Her Majesty's 64th Regiment will embark on
Monday next for their new destination, on board the
Belleisle troop-ship. Such, at least, are the orders at
present issued. It is probable, however, that the
vessel will not sail until Wednesday at the soonest.
Her Majesty's steam-frigate Sidon arrived this
morning early from Alexandria.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Sultan, from Constantinople, also arrived, and the
Pacha left on her return to Southampton.
DRCEMBER 25.—8 y the arrival of the French
steamer from Constantinople to-day, it is said the dis-
pute between the Porte and Greece is settled, but no
particulars have yet arrived in detail.
PORTSMOUTH, MoNnar.—The Modeste, 18, Com-
mander E. J. J. G. Macdonald, arrived at Spithead
this morning, and saluted the Commander-in-Chief.
She left Valparaiso on the sth of October, at which

globe, and teem with every product which con minister to the wants
Of man.

To carry out effectually and economically steam eommualcation
with thou countries is the object of this Company, for whose ope-
rations there is an ample and profitable field, especially as regards
our numerous and valuable colonies in the 6outhern Pacific, which
hare an iacreasing intercourse with India as well as with England
—are the only portions of the British empire unconnected by steam
navigation with the parent state, and for which a charter by the
overland route has been exclusively granted to this Company.

The route sanctioned by the Lords of the Admiralty tOr this Coin-
piny is YU Ceylon, Singapore, and Torres Straits, the advantages of
which are, that Sydney, the metroplltan capital of the whole of the
Australasian colonies, would be brought to a certainty within 64 or
65 days of London (frequently in 60), and within less than 30 days
of India. The coal stations are convenient, "excellent coal from the

LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1848

Joy and sorrow must, just now, be battling in the
bosom of the French SOVEREIGN. We can sympa-
thise in his affliction, but we cannot sympathise in
his exultation. The sudden death of the Princess
ADELAIDE—a beloved sister, whose affection has been
his solace, and whose masculine intelligence has been
his reliance through many protracted and extraor-
dinary vicissitudes—whose fortunes have been iden-
tified with his own from the time when they stood
together as children at the knees of Madame DE GEN'.
LIS, and from the day when, covered with the glory
of Jemappes, he listened to the prediction of DANTON,
that after the storms of the Revolution had sub-
sided he would become a King—the abrupt demise
of one who had been principally instrumental
in fulfilling that prophetic assurance, and whom he
had regarded throughout the whole of his career with
the tenderest devotion, is a calamity second only to
that which, in 1841, deprived Louis Pinuree of the
heir to his royal
diadem. It is fortunate that at the
very period of this new and agonising catastrophe an
occurrence should have transpired which, of all others,
was perhaps the best calculated to temper the sadness of
the Monarch, and to moderate, in some measure, the
effects of his domestic misfortune. This propitious
occurrence is about the most wonderful fact which
will have to be recorded in the calendar of 1847.
ARD-EL•aADER has been captured ! The Invisible,
has been seen ; the Untangible has been touched ;
the Unconquerable has been conquered ; the Victor
of a hundred battles has delivered himself into the
hands of a subordinate officer in Algeria ; the Lord
of the Desert is a captive ! Incredible as this may
appear, there is not a chink of fact nor a cranny of
argument through which it can be doubted. If for a
moment we can deceive ourselves into the belief that
the Great EMIR is rejoicing in freedom, and galloping
his war-horse over those sands which he had made
his empire, the illusion would be dis-
pelled by the exultant dispatches of the Due
D'AussA.Liz and of General LAMORICIERE. There
can be no doubt whatever as to the reality of
this most ir emorable event. ABD-EL-KADER is taken
—the glory of the Mussulmans is extinguished—the
hero of the Arabs has been circumvented—he is no
longer the Mrs. Harris (f the Wilderness.
It is impossible not to regard with feelings of pro-
found regret the downfal of this patriotic and heroic

TO THE LADIES.

This lady had the follswing letter inserted in the " Times" news-
paper on Aug. 7, 1546. Reader, remember, this letter was put into
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Gemstone, of the Herbary, High-
gate for the eilicaey of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair en her head, after using itabout four months,
and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than
I ever was before the baldness appeared.
"Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s
Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an I Is. bottle it they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and produotion of hair in *Mind-
mee, bat as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume iti far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
ady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In cases ot the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ate w
drops en the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and
,revent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops OR your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
most aromatic herbs flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
>dour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
o the toilet. In cases ot nevous headaehe, pour ten or twelve drops
n tha crown of the hex I ; if v-ry had, repeat it every quarter of an
oar. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
air on ehildret beads in a few *applications. It used on infants'
cads, ft has suc a peculiar cooling influence on tile brain as to pre-
vent convulsioris, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—:See

mained at Monte Video with all the force under his
command. The Comas, 18, Commander D'Eyncourt,
