exist a dim and remote possibility of inoculating
our Eastern neighbours with somewhat of the dis-
relish for systematic perfidy and of the lust for
incessant rapine and bloodshed, which is felt by the
more enlightened among the Europeans.
In its very nature the Oriental heart is per-
meated with treachery ; the children of the East
appear to imbibe an intense lore for perfidy
with the maternal milk ; deceit is a portion of their
vitality. Their governments exist only by a homi-
cidal terrorism. From such a race, therefore, it were
insanity to expect any friendship upon which implicit
reliance couH be placed. We should be leaning not
only upon a broken reed, but upon a reed hollow
throughout, and of a treacherous fragility. Never-
theless, by more frequent intercourse with the British
population of India, they might gradually divest
themselves of their more detestable vices of treachery
and territorial spoliation. That there is a feasiblility
in this we are persuaded from the plastic and pliable
character of the human intellect, and the possibility
there is of reforming the most obdurate dispositions.
Since our last intelligence the affairs of the Maha-
raja GHOOLAB SINGH have alternated from confusion
to order, from insurrection to tranquillity, from con-
flict to capitulation. The rebellious Mahomedan Go-
vernor of Cashmere, EMAUM-00E.DEEN, has tendered
his submission to the Chief of Jamoo. Instead of de-
fending the valley against the assaults of his new
master, and of inciting his fanatical followers to
maintain their independence, he has consented to sur-
render, on condition of his personal safety being
guaranteed, and of certain confiscated property being
restored. Whether the Sheik has been driven to this
determination by the three adverse encounters be-
tween his soldiers and their assailants, or by
alarm at the formidable assistance afforded
to GHOOLAB SINGH by the British Government,
and the Lahore Durbar, is somewhat questionable.
We suspect that both these circumstances combined
have allayed the confidence and disci/v.0.0A .m-
-bitious dreams of EMAUM-00D-DEEN. He has
yielded to the first assaults upon the almost im-
pregnable passes of Cashmere; he has readily suc-
cumbed to the arguments of the Seikh plenipo-
tentiary, DEW.N HUKEEM RAE, and has resigned
all pretensions to that bauble of command to which
he had prematurely aspired. There is pusillanimity
in this hasty retractation of enmity, but it is a
pusillanimity which will be universally beneficial.
Although the valley of Cashmere was not actually
delivered into the possession of GHOOLAB SINGS! on
the departure of the mail, there did not exist the
vestige of a doubt as to the certainty of that terri-
tory being immediately occupied by the followers of
the Maharaja of the Hills. By this arrangement, the
British troops will be no longer under the necessity
of co-operating with the Seikhs in subduing a
refractory province. It is to be earnestly
hoped that such a necessity will not
occur again very speedily. It is to be hoped
that the chiefs of Jamoo, of Lahore, of Mooltan, and
elsewhere, will be enabled to maintain the integrity of
their own dominions and the proper submission of
their own people without requiring the strength, the
advice, and the blood of the English on every petty
emergency. It is to be hoped that the peace of
India will be of a longer continuance than heretofore,
and that the social condition of its inhabitants will
thereby obtain a material and appreciable advance-
ment.

By their recent interference in the domestic govern-
ment of GHOOLAB SINGII, the English have evinced
remarkable generosity ; that must be allowed. For-
getting all former animosities, and discarding the
remembrance of the treacheries and cruelties of
the Maharaja, they have extended the hand of friend-
ship to him in his difficulties, they have leagued
their banners with his, they have drawn the sword
and blown the trumpet in his cause. What
will be the recompense of this generosity ?
When tempting advantages may present themselves
to GnooLan SINGH, will he remember the passes of
Cashmere, the garrison of Jamoo, the conquest of
EMAIIM-00D-DEEM ? Will he recur to this instance
of European magnanimity with feelings of gra-
titude and admiration ? We remember that Mr.
likztrrr remarks somewhere in his " His-
tory of Napoleon Bonaparte," that our bitterpst
enemies are frequently those to whom we do a
kindness. It is a bitter reflection to men who
have formed an elevated conception of human na-
ture ; but it is an observation the truth of which
must have been sorely felt by many of us. We are
sanguine as to the distant regeneration of the Oriental
race; yet the discovery of gratitude and magnanimity
in GHOOLAB SINGII appears to be as hopeless as
squaring the circle, or explaining the theory of the
librations of the moon to the comprehension of an
idiot.

of foreign competition. Scotland presents a happy ,
picture, which may well be regarded with pride, of
the singular results attainable by art over the inat-
tractive barrenness of nature. In no country have
the industry, and innate skill of the peasantry
effected more wonderful changes overunfavoured tracts
of land. To Scotland has England been, and indeed
is daily, much indebted for the agricultural advance-
ment she has made, and is making. " Necessity is
the mother of invention ;" the truth of the adage
has been creditably exemplified by the compara-
tive excellence to which the Caledonian husbandman
has attained. In every crisis he manfully puts his
shoulder to the wheel. He relies upon himself.
Visited in parts severely with the potato murrain, the
Scotch have, nevertheless, by their self-reliance, and
well-timed and spirited benevolence, so managed their
affairs, that the cry of distress has scarcely become
known beyond the borders. We think the Irish
landlords would do well to take a lesson
from them. Example is better than precept.
It is invidious to individualise where so much
has been done in a country at large ; but the extra-
ordinary exertions of Mr. RIGBY WAsoN in pro-
moting the cultivation of his estate to an extent of
six miles beween Parhill and Newton Stewart, where
moorlands of a most discouraging description have
been thoroughly reclaimed, justify our peculiar
praise. Works like these render men the great be-
nefactors of mankind. To those who have the means
and power of imitating them we would say, " Go
ye and do likewise."

The Frankfort Gazette des Corks gives the follow-
ing from Berlin, under date of the 22d ult.:—
" The news from Vienna, that the Government had
established a bank of discount for shares and industrial
securities, and especially railroad shares, has produced
so favourable an impression, as to cause a rise of 4 per
cent. on some of the Austrian industrial securities, and
21 per cent. on some of the Prussian, and all railroad
shares are in demand.

"Business was Teri, flat. It is true that it was wa
that money was scarce, nut money was never scarce for
well-grounded operations. The financial crisis would
have ceased long since had the Government taken any
step, showing it took an interest in railroad under-
takings."
A letter from Berlin, of the 25th ult., says—

" The incorporation of Cracow with the Austrian
States causes a great prejudice to Prussian manufac-
tures, which enjoyed a large reduction in the entrance
duties into that ancient Polish Republic ; in conse-
quence, the manufacturers of all the towns of Prussia
address representations on the subject to our Govern-
ment. Yesterday there arrived at Berlin a numerous
deputation of manufacturers and merchants from Bres-
law (Silesia), with M. Kohlmann, the burgomaster, at
its head, and which solicits an audience from the King,
to expose to his Majesty the injury which the new po-
sition of Cracow inflicts on the manufactures of all
Silesia."

The morning journal (Morgenzeitung) of Hanover
published the news of the incorporation of Cracow
with Austria on a sheet with a black border, in sign
of mourning.

Madrid papers of the 24th have arrived.
The Ecuador expedition is completely at an end.
At the very moment that the navy of General FLORES
was seized in the Thames his army was dispersed in
Biscay. The Clamor Publico publishes the follow-
ing extract from a letter dated Vittoria, Nov. 20 :
" The expedition of General Flores is at an end, in
consequence of the revolt of his troops at the dep4ts of
Durango, and that of Ordana, who, on being commanded
to march to Santander for embarkation, dispersed
through the country."
Rumours were again rife in Madrid of an ap-
proaching modification in the Cabinet. It is said
that ISTURITZ will retire from the Presidency of the
Council, and will be succeeded by Senor Mori.

BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN :AILW AYS AT THE

We have received the Paris papers of Monday.
Most of them comment on the manifesto of
the physical force republicans, published in the
National a few days previously, and it is satisfactory
to find that the physical force doctrine is repudiated
by all influential parties in France, as it is by all
influential parties in England. The Liberals of all
countries are now perfectly eonvinced that it is by
moral force, and moral force alone, that oppression
can be successfully combated, and that aggressive
physical force is the distinguishing eharaetp,•;,,tio of
tyranny, to the establishment of which it inevitably
tends, whether used by autocratic despots in the name
of what they miscall " order," or by physical force
democratic tyrants in the name of what they equally
miscall " liberty." But, while repudiating the phy-
sical force doctrines of the National, we are rejoiced
to find the Journal des Debats excusing the enunci-
ators of them, on the ground that violence begets
violence, and that the language of the National is
the natural result of the acts of the Northern Powers,
who have first set the example of violating all law,
and justice, and truth. The Ddbats concludes in
these words :
"In blaming the authors of the manifesto of the
French democracy, it is impossible not to carry our
blame higher. We have, after all, only words and in-
tentions to reprehend in this work of revolutionists ;
the destruction of the republic of Cracow by the
Northern Courts is an act—the violation of the treaties
of Vienna is a thing perpetrated. Absolute Sovereigns,
you complain of factions ! We detest them as much
as you. We are exposed the first to their rage. We
are not ignorant that they are watching a favourable
moment to fling themselves oa society, and to endeavour
again to devour it. Commence, therefore, by having
the right against factions, for fear they may one day
possess force against you ! Do not give them an example
of violating the right Do not authorise by your acts
their declamations against Governments and kings I M.
Lamennais and M. Learn Rollin may entitle themselves,
as much as they like, the organs of the French demo-
cracy—they represent only themselves. If they speak
or act as factious men, it is their business ; they are
subject to the law ; their example has "only a limited
contagion. But you, who are the heads of nations, it
is to you that have been confided the guardianship and
defence of social principles. You represent justice,
or you ought to represent it. A sines: act like the
violent and unjust destruction of Cracow shakes the
principle of right more than a hundred I:manifestoes like
that of M. Lamennais !"
The SUcle, the organ of the Odilon 13arrot party,
is still more energetic in its repudiation of physical
force doctrines. It says—
" What has most offended us in the man ifesto of the
Radical party—what we condemn most highly—is the
appeal in biblical style to popular vengeance—the allu-
sion to the wailing and gnashing of-teeth—the threat, in
fine, of a long series of disorganizations and confusion
for France, leading her through blood and fire to the
rule of right and liberty, as it is construed by radicalism.
These are extremities,' they say, 'to which no people
resign themselves until all other hopes of maintaining
their privileges and their honour have vanished.' We
are told that France has no longer a choice of means—
that those who henceforth recoil from an appeal to
force can no longer expect to find repose even in their
shame. An appeal to force ! Against what enemy?—
against what cause?—within what limits? If we must
begin at home by destroying our constitutional Govern-
ment, before any notorious act of treason is committed,
before any flagrant provocation has been given to unite
all conviction—all hearts; if one-half our citizens are
to arm themselves against the other half—if France
is to have at one and the same time two
banners, two causes, two armies—shall we be
so much the stronger against a foreign enemy?
You talk of allies of the democratic principle in Europe.
We know them as well as you do, and can rely upon
them in the hour of danger. But they are the allies of
a Liberal Government, as well as of your imaginary
republic. It is asked, where is this Liberal Government '
to be found ? We reply that it may exist in the course
of a twelvemonth, in a few months, even to-morrow,
without costing a drop of blood, a single excess to
France. For this she has no need to renounce her prin-
ciples ; she has only to act according to them. Is it
more easy to attain by the execution of the designs of
the Radicals the union of the country, the consolidation
of its rights, the salvation of its liberty ? These are
far beyond the reach of the power of the Radicals. We
have already said this, and we again repeat it. But we,
nevertheless, recognise the real influence of the Radical
party. This influence, which .s daily increased by the
faults of the Government, and which may increase it
until it becomes fatal, will be seen to disappear as soon
as it has the good sense to seek its strength and safety
in the free assent of the country, instead of searching
for it in corruption and intrigue. We will, if it be ne-
cessary, contend against the blindness both of the Go-
vernment and of the Radical party. We can never
acknowledge, either in this Government, given up to „
apostates, or in the inveterate violence of a portion of
the Radical party, the sincere representatives of the
grand democracy of France."

When it was once ascertained that public opinion
had acquired sufficient strength to insure the repeal,
sooner or later, of the corn-laws, and it was known
that Sir R. PEEL had determined to chime in with
the popular sentiment, not a few Members of St.
Stephen's reconciled themselves to the important con-
cession, from the belief that British skill, industry
and energy, would, in the end, safely triumph over
the competition which the foreigner might be enabled
to enter into with the home producer. It was this
conviction that happily conduced to swell the
late Minister's majorities upon his great
measure of the past session. Sir. R. PEEL derived
further advantages in the prosecution of his arduous
task from the reputation he had justly acquired of
being in every sense a practical statesman, which,
joined to the fact that the Minister's own personal
interests were almost entirely identified with the land,
had the salutary effect of converting many an agri-
cultural alarmiit to the reasonableness and necessity
of abandoning the protective system. Moreover, Sir
R. PEEL has proved himself to be the greatest
financier of his age, and whilst advocating
different large schemes relating to our trade and
commerce, he invariably combated the desponding
views of his opponents, by expressing his firm reliance
upon the intelligence, zeal, and unrivalled spirit of
enterprise, for which our country is famed throughout
the globe, as affording the safest guarantees against the
fulfilment of the timid apprehensions which induced
resistance to his policy of commercial renovation
Whenever the ex-Minister, from the foregoing con-
sideration, and over and above the intrinsic merits
and special arguments he had to develop, predicted
success to any particular project, the prediction
never failed. His anticipations in favour of
the unrelaxing vigour of the British capitalist,
through whatever channel he may design
his wealth to flow, have ever been jus-
tified ; and there can be no doubt that when
Sir R. PEEL, during the stormy debates on the last
Corn Bill, confidently dilated upon the renowned
skill and boundless enterprise of his countrymen, he
did much to conciliate support, and to remove the
gloomy forebodings of the protectionists. Short as
is the time that has elapsed, what do we perceive ?
Is there any sympton of downheartedness ? Are
there any misgivings as to the political foresight of
Sir R. PEEL? On the contrary, do we not
know that the farmers, generally, are quite
contented and buoyant with hope ? Their
hope rests not upon the present prices of corn, which
:are unquestionably to some degree sustained by reason
of the potato failure, but is mainly derived from a
due appreciation of their own feelings of self-reliance
:and spirit of thorough independence. Already have
many of the great proprietors of the soil come forward
to encourage this unwavering spirit of their principal
farmers and tenants. A cheerful co-operation has
]been promised to them by Earl TALBOT and others.
Long leases and other healthy stimulants, towards
augmenting the productiveness of the lands, will be

granted to such as are able and willimg to accept of them.

strance, we have seen agricultural societies uniting

Review has shown itself, and with consider.tble ability,
to be actuated with the like ennobling i utent. In

the cultivation of British soils ; how surrcrisingly
much is being successfully undertaken to increase
their cereal products, and with what reasonable

A good feeling towards England is, we are glad to
see, manifested by all the journals of all parties, save
and except the Presse, which is entirely under Rus-
sian and dynastic influence. The tone taken up by
the Presse would almost induce a belief that, how-

ever ignorant the French Ministry might hiire been
of the intention to annex Cracow, the French Court
was tolerably well informed on the subject. There
is also an evident desire, on the part of the Presse, to
excuse, and even to justify the conduct of Russia
throughout the whole of these transactions, and to
excite to the utmost public feeling against Austria.

parlour, which was never opened, Mrs. Pipchin kept a
collection of plants in pots, which imparted an earthy
flavour of their own to the establishment. However
choice examples of their kind, too, these plants were of a
kind peculiarly adapted to the emlowerment of Mrs.
Pipchin. There were half•a-dozen specimens of the
cactus, writhing round bits of lath, like hairy serpents ;
another specimen shooting out broad claws, like a green
lobster ; several creeping vegetables, possessed of sticky
and adhesive leaves ; and one uncomfortable flower-pot
hanging to the ceiling, which appeared to have boiled
over, and tickling people underneath with its long green
ends, reminded them of spiders—in which Mrs. Pip-
chin's dwelling was uncommonly prolific, though per-
haps it challenged competition still more proudly, in the
season, in point of earwigs."
The other pupils are two : one Master Bitherstone,
who from having been often shut up in solitary
rooms, is regarded by Paul as " a boy of mysterious
and terrible experiences ;" and Miss Pankey " a mild
little blue-eyed morsel of a child, who was sham-
poo'd every morning, and seemed in danger of being
rubbed away altogether.," and who is instructed by
the ogress herself " that nobody who sniffed before
visitors ever went to Heaven." In the subsequent
chapter " the wooden midshipman gets into trouble,"
and in the one after Captain Cuttle and Major Bag-
stock " come out" in splendid feather. Joey B.—

Smollett's Captain Weazel is nothing to him.

MAGAZINES (CONTINUED,)
BENTLEYS MISCELLANY.
The present number of Bentley opens with the
second chapter of Cooper's novel of " Captain Spike."
In the last number we left Spike's clipper, the Molly
Swash, on the " Pot Rock." She, however, has
merely touched the rock with her fore-foot, and im-
mediately gets off. Spike, however, does not like the
look of the boat which has been dogging him, and
would fain get clear of the revenue steam cruizer,
which is moored lower down the estuary. There is
some fun produced by the fears of Mrs. Budd, the
widow of the sea captain, whose mistakes as to
nautical technicalities are most ludicrous ; but Mrs.
Budd's mistakes do not divert the attention of Budd
or his crew from the working of the ship. Jack
Tier, a former shipmate, is taken on board, albeit
under suspicious circumstances, and then Spike's
,!•ee.2t, endeavour is to outmanoeuvre the revenue
""" "' 41-1= he transfers the brig
into a schooner, or, as Mrs. Intim pnrases it, "
dresses his ship." By this manoeuvre he gains time.
However, at length the steamer gives chase; but she
has to get her steam up which gives Spike an ad-
vantage, of which he is not slow to avail himself, for,
aided by the darkness of the night, he puts into a
deep bay while the steamer goes past the entrance,
and thus for the time he escapes. The description of
the chase is most graphic and exciting, such a de-
scription as none but Cooper could write. The reader
feels himself on board the " Molly Swash" while
reading it—a particeps criminis with Captain Spike,
and it is quite a relief to find the Molly Swash safe in
the bay, with the steamer sailing past the entrance on
a wild goose chase. " Spring Tide," which follows
this chapter, is a pleasant Waltonian prolusion, with an
illustration by Leech, showing how the lovers of the
angle are sometimes tormented, even as they them-
selves torment the fish, by insects. Then we have
" Long Jim, or the Tipperary Process-server, by a
Cove of Cork." The " cove "of Cork can, if we mis-
take not, give us as insight into the causes of
the so-called "lawlessness" of the Irish peasantry.
"Long Jim" is a most suggestive paper. The story
is soon told. Long Jim mounts on the Clonmel
mail-car to go into the rural districts. The car is
attacked, not as the driver and passengers imagine, to
rob the mail, but to punish Long Jim, the process-
server (and to use the words of one of the peasants),
" to give him a taste of what's in store for him, if he
don't lave off," and Long Jim is only saved from
being murdered by the arrival of a travelling chariot
and four, with outriders, &c., which chariot contains
" his Lordship," who takes Jim under his protection.
But according to the showing of the peasantry, who
show the utmost courtesy towards the other passen-
gers by the car, the crime of Jim is not so much pro-
cess serving per .se as apostacy. True he " takes little
shlips o' paper about the country, ruining
poor people," but as the leader of his assail.
ants observes, " An' what harm, only the blackguard
is one of ourselves, an' a dacent father and mother's
child, that's ashamed of him so they are, instead of
taking to honest work to earn his bread, the nasty
baste for the sake of the thrifie he gets by it, becomes
a bailiff bad luck to him, and goes about sarvin his
own flesh and blood, I may say wood notices to pay
tithes." Here is the grand secret of the number of
process-servers in Ireland, they are apostates who
serve processes upon their own flesh and blood. If as
in England the bailiff trade was delivered up to the
very lowest and most degraded of the Jews, as their
own especial monopoly—a monopoly to interfere with
which would be consiiered by decent Christians as an
dl.B t atm process-service in Ireland, would as
in England be unattended with danger, because pro-
cess-servers would by common consent be regarded
as the pariahs of Society. Miss Costello's Summer
Sketches in Switzerland, are scarcely worthy of her,
but en revanche, we have "the Cranks of Christmas
tide," which is a glorious prolusion. Then comes
graceful sonnet from Petrarch, translated by Lady
Nugent.
" I go lamenting o'er my days past by,
Those days consumed in love of mortal thing,
Without attempt to mount, I having wing
Perchance to soar and give example high.
Thou, who dost see my deep iniquity,
Invisible, immortal, heavenly King,
Aid the frail soul in her wide wandering,
In what defective from they grace supply ;
So I, with strife and storm wont to contend,
May thus in peace and haven die. I see
How vain the past, yet blameless be the end ;
O'er that short span of life now left for me,
And at its close, thy saving hand extend—
Thou know'st I have no hope in aught but Thee."
The " Gipsy's Baptism," by- Thomasina Ross, is a
romantic legend, anent the loves of father and mother
of Lope de Vega, and then comes a pleasant article
on old Jest Books by Halliwell. The "Adventures
of Brian O'Linn" are continued, as are the interesting
revelations of the "Flaneur in Paris." A quaint and
mirthful "Narrative of an Expedition to the end of
Birkenhead," by Albert Smith, concludes this num-
ber, which contains two plates by Leech, the one
illustrating the Gipsy's Baptism, the other illustrating
Brian O'Linn, and a portrait f Sir Thomas Over-
bury, from an extra rare engraving illustrating an ad-
mirable criticism by Dr.\% . C. Taylor, of Mr. Amos's
recently published work, "The Great Oyer ofPoison
ing."

THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE REVIEW.
We can very readily conjecture the authorship of
the "Notes of an Irish Tour by an English M.P."
The love of Young England is strong in the bosom
of its leader, and he knows well how to sustain its
avowed organ by his patronage. The pervading tone
of the publication is benevolence to the poor ;
whether this be merely an affectation of benevolence or
a sincerity we will not decide—we will believe with-
out further testimony than the articles themselves,
that it is:heart-born. In the " Notes" just mentioned
this characteristic is conspicuous, even from the quo-
tation from the " Spirit of the Nation :"
"Leisure to live, leisure to love, leisure to taste our free-
dom,
Oh, suffering poor, oh, patient poor, how bitterly you
need them !
Ever to toil, ever to moil, that is your social charter,
And City slave, or rustic serf, the toiler is its martyr."
The same species of philanthropy is visible in the
contributions on "The Ragged and their Reforma-
tion," and on "The love of the People." There is,
moreover, in the December number a very
readable and intelligent continuation of an article
we noticed last month in Blackwood's Magazine.
The present continuation is entitled " A Plea for
the Press." The writer fully enters into a considera-
tion of the toils, and dangers, and difficulties, incident
to the conduct of a free press, whether intermittent
or periodical, quarterly, monthly, weekly, or daily.
He congratulates his fellow countrymen so earnestly
on the glory and advantages of the English press, that
he terminates his remarks by parodying that line of
Thompson :

" Ye gen'rous Briton; venerate the press !"
The Review is, as usual, very miscellaneous and
equally meritorious.

TAIT.
The indefatigable Mrs. Gore brings her story of
"Tempation and Atonement " to a termination in
the present number. In its chapters the authoress
has forsaken the conventionalities of the drawing-
room and boudoir for the cottage and the homestead ;
she has abandoned the society of the metropolis for
the society of the provinces ; and delineated the cha-
racters of our domestic Englishmen and English-
women instead of either peers or parvenus. Her
readers will be grateful for the change, even though it
be evanescent. The merits of a young German poet,
who has made his appearance in literature within the
last year, are discussed with much impartiality. In
discriminating the beauties and blemishes of this
bard—whose name is Franz Dingelstedt—the re-
viewer has evinced great "painstaking," and has
shown a capacity of entering into the peculiar nation-
ality of the noble but misgoverned Germany. Din-
gelstedt, who is one of the party entitled Young
Germany, and an enthusiastic follower of the cele-
brated Ludwig Uhland, has an intense love for na-
ture, a ready perception of everything that is noble
and gentle, a fierce thirst for the moral and political
regeneration of fatherland, a singular delicacy of
thought, and an exhaustless power of expression. In
this he has most of the requisites of a great poet,
and providing he abates somewhat of his pruriency
and sentimentality, arid mysticism, may ultimately
achieve for himself a right to that glorious title.
He may, with assiduous self-culture, become num-
bered amongst the increasing band of geniuses
by which his language has been adorned; he
