FINE ARTS.

THE HEROINES OF SHAKS PERE. No. VII.
It is well that that Shakspereian artist, Kenney
Meadows, should in some measure participate in the
production of this beautiful work. His " Cleopa-
tra,"--that fascinating " serpent of old Nile"----is a
clever conception. The scorn and authority of
her eyes, the chiselling of her features, the oriental
magnificence of her costume, and the glimpses of her
bust and arm, are exquisite. The " Princess of
France," from " Love's Labour Lost," seems as
though it would not be difficult for her to comply
with the entreaties of Biron :
" Bruise me with scorn, confouad me with a flout ;

Thrust thy sharp wit quite through my ignorance;
Cut me to pieces with thy keen conceit."
" Viola," on the contrary, is the most insipid of a:
romantic masqueraders.

THE GREAT BRITAIN.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Six,—Observing in your valuable journal of this day
a letter, signed " Thomas S. S. Gabriel, RN.," in which
he states, " every one was given to understand that Mr.
Macintosh was to arrive here on Monday last, and com-
mence immediate operations towards her rescue, and it
is now confidently reported that that gentleman has not
undertaken to relieve her from her present perilous si-
tuation ;" I beg leave to state, that I never had any
idea of being near the Great Britain on Monday, al-
though Mr. Gabriel and his friends might have expected
me, and it is perfectly untrue that I have abandoned the
taking of her off the shore by my plans.
I have the honour to be, your obedient servant,
JOHN MACINTOSH.

ng to the great amount of business done by this society, to the
economy with which its affairs are conducted, to the careful selection
of the lives, to the equity of the principles upon which it is based, to
the facilities afforded to the settlement of claims, and to other circum-
stances peculiar to itself, the members are entitled to look for the
greatest benefits which such an institution can bestow, and it is confi-
dently believed that hitherto their expectations have not been disap-
pointed.
The declaration of Additions made at last period of investigation,
31st December, 1845, showed that to the oldest Policies there had
been added, as a Bonus, more than 80 per cent. on the original in-
surance, and to the later policies in a corresponding ratio ; and this
independently of the current additions.
In the event of one of the members, insured before the year 1820,
dying in the year 1852, after payment of the premium of that year,
there would be paid 2061. ss. 61., for each 1001. insured. The Bonus
Addition thus being greater than the original Insurance.
The details of the principles upon which the additions are ascer-
tained and appropriated among the members, cannot be given in an
advertisement; they will, however, he found fully explained in the
Society's Printed Prospectus, copies of which may be had en appli-
cation at the Head Office, or at any of the Society's Agencies.

The whole of the wheat crop in the 41 istrict of Low
Furness has been put in, and some of ..the early sown
has come up, and looks remarkably strong and healthy
Some of the farmers in that locality have resolved to let
their potatoes remain in the ground duri,l -; winter ; and
in other instances where they have beers taken up they
turn out to be not only a better crop, but.. seer from dis-
ease than was calculated on. Such being the case, very

The resolution, on being put from the chair, passed.

Mr. E. SHAWCROSS moved a resolution to the eff-Tt,
that the system under which salt is now distributed in
India causes a deficiency in the supply, great enhance-
ment in price, great deterioration in quality, and much
consequent deprivation and suffering ; that it enceu
rages smuggling and dishonesty, and in many ways re-
tards the development of the resources of the country.
Mr. W. PEEL seconded the motion, which was passed.

Mr. Alderman MATSON moved a resolution to the ef-
fect, that the East India Company's monopoly in salt
was not only unjust and cruel towards the people, but
was a direct contravention of the company's charter of
incorporation.
Mr. JAMES OWEN seconded the resolution, which
passed mem. dia.

It was then resolved that a petition be prepared to the
House of Commons, embodying the substance of the re-
solutions, and that it be presented by the Members for
the borough.

tion, after which the proceedings terminated.

DUTCH MAIL.

FRANKFORT, Nov. 22.—We receive from different
quarters accounts of the impression made all over Ger •
many by the resolution of the three Powers for the in-
corporation of the republic of Cracow with the Austrian
empire. Letters from the Russian capital say that the
news had caused a panic on Change, and that all the
funds, which had latterly risen a little, had fallen con-
siderably. Accounts from Vienna of the 18th are of the
same tenor. This state of uncertainty has had an un-
favourable effect on various branches of commerce.

There is a letter from Hanover which says :—" The un-
certain state of things at present has, we are sorry to
- say, a very unfavourable influence on our manufactures;
and especially the jewellers complain that their commis-
sions are much inferior to what they usually are at
this season of the year. There is, unfortunately, but
little prospect that matters will he better in the succeed-
ing years.
STIIITTGARD, Nov. 19.—The Chamber of Commerce
in this city, in a report to the Minister of Finance, has
stated the disadvantages of the commercial convention
between Holland and Belgium to the manufactures of
the States of the Zollverem, and requesting that mea-
sures may be taken to put an end to those disadvantages,
particularly by imposing differential duties on Dutch co-
lonial produce.
FRANKFORT, Nov. 21.—We learn that the Prussian
General Post-offiee, has the plan of forming a general
German postal convention, for the purpose of bringing
about an agreement to impose one uniform rate of
postage in all the German States. For this purpose it is
proposed to. place 01 the German post-offices under a
central administration.
THE HAGUE, Nov. 24.—The Netherland's Staats
Courant publishes officially the treaty of Commerce and
Navigation concluded at St. Petersburg on the 13th of
September last, between the Netherlands and Russia. It
fills eleven columns of the journal.
The Grand Duke of Schwerin has just addressed the
following rescript to the heads of the Israelite congrega-
tions :—" In answer to the petition of the heads of the
Israelite community, which was presented to us on the
25th of March, this year, we inform him by these pre-
bents, that we shall in future be, as we have hitherto been,
always ready to favour with the greatest good will every
thing that may contribute to the amelioration of the con-
dition of the Israelites in our country, and that we shall
invite the confirmation of the States on this subject. The
bead of the Israelite community may judge how much
we have at heart the welfare of our Israelite subjects by
the annexed copy of this edict, by which we have just
suppressed, after midsummer, 184?, the annual tax
hitherto paid by the Israelites.

NE W COURT.

John Anderson and Edward Sullivan, described in the
calendar as labourers, were indicted with stealing a
breast-pin, of the value of 4s. 6d., the property of
Joseph Parry, from his person. These two prisoners, it
will be recollected, are the persons who, dressed as
females, accosted the prosecutor in Holborn-hill, and
asked him for something to drink, and while in con-
versation with him took the opportunity of steal-
ing the property. Upon their being taken to
the station-house it was discovered that they

were men in female attire. The charge was clearly
proved against the prisoners, and some policemen swore
to having seen them dressed as females before.
The prisoners, in their defence, said that it was all
done for a lark.
The RECORDER summed up.
The jury found both prisoners guilty.
The COURT sentenced them to 15 years' transporta-
tion, the Recorder observing 'that the offence, though
small, had been committed under circumstances which
called upon the Court to pronounce upon the prisoners
the severest sentence provided by the statute.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1846,

European relations must henceforth be conducted
upon an entirely now and unprecedented principle.
Instead of inuring the friendship of neighbouring
states by mutual compromises, either political, mone-
tary, territorial, or commercial, statesmen have latterly
done so by nothing more extraordinary than simple
match-making. In emulation, possibly, of the feudal
custom, whereby the resident peasantry of an estate
were transferred from one landlord to another,
together with the soil, of which they were
as much the appurtenance as the browsing
and ruminating cattle, the Cabinets of this
hemisphere have recently endeavoured to dispose
of an entire people as the mere dowry or dotation of
Infantas and Royal Highnesses. Beyond this striking
innovation in international diplomacy, there are others
of a subsidiary character which would have been
creditable to the "Prince of MACHIAVELLI." Our
allusion will be immediately comprehended on
the enumeration of a few circumstances which
have already acquired such miserable noto-
riety, and the mere intelligence of which has ex-
cited such universal execration. In the country of
CALDERON and SAAVEDRA we have seen the national
'ibex ties bartered to an avaricious Government for the
questionable advantage of a compulsory husband ; or,
at the most moderate calculation, we have seen the
preservation of the Spanish nationality risked upon a
precarious but probable contingency. In the cowl-
, try of CAMOENS we have seen the will of the
population derided by the expulsion of a popular
Ministry, and the forcible substitution of one subser-
vient to the wishes of an adjacent Sovereign ; we have
seen a repetition of the court emeutes, which were of
such incessant occurrence at Madrid during the pro-
fligate dictatorship of EMANUEL GODOY ; we have seen
a repetition of those disgraceful intrigues in the State
Chambers of Lisbon. We are beholding at this mo-
ment A strenuous effort at the military subjugation of
the Portuguese ; we are receiving by every addi-
tional pv.cket accounts of the sanguinary contests
between those engaged in this civil warfare. By the
latest intelligence we are informed of the continued
bombardment of Evora, and of the systematic blockade
of the r iver Douro. All these deplorable calamities
have berm entailed upon an unoffending community
by the unjustifiable and unconstitutional interfer-
ence or a foreign Power.
What , let us ask, is the political principle adopted
towards the country of KOSCIUSKO ? Is it
not a
pri,noiple the direct antithesis of honest dealing
