SPOItTIAG REVIEW.

Craven gives a comprehensive and sparkling narra-
tive of " The Racing Season of 1847," and his coad-
jutors—Oxonian, Castor, Harry Ilieover, Scribble,
and Brushwood, add their quota to the number for
January. They all begin 1848 in tip-top spirits, and
with an unaffected gusto that promises admirably.
The engravings are excellent, being a vignette tandem,
a portrait of Van Tromp, and " The Fortune of
War," the last-mentioned being the trip of a hunter.

THE BELLE ASSEMBLES.

One thing strikes us as an extraordinary omission at
the very outset of the number for January. There is a
wood-cut as well as a brief description of the beautiful
church of St. Mary Radcliffe, Bristol, and in the
description there is not even an incidental mention of
Chatterton—the tragedy of Hamlet with the Danish
prince omitted. For its musical sweetness, its hope-
fulness, and its simplicity, we have pleasure in trans-
cribing the verses on
" EIGHTEEN HUNDRED AND FORTY-EIGHT.

" BY CAMILLA TOI7LMIN.
" What is the star of thy birth, New Year?
Is any f.o learned to prove a seer?
The' Forties" have done pretty well we must own,
So You come of a race whose prestige is known;
Then pray do not place on their 'scutcheon a blot,
By what you may do or what you—de not.
They've work'd pretty hard, those brethren of yours
—For what once took up weeks is nowdone in hours.
There is not (thank _Heaven) a Corn-law for you
To be in at the death, or like hunters pursue.
And the Factory-child has a thanksgiving said,
For th-.,,meed of cold justice was poured on her head.
But You've plenty of work if you have but the will,
And, indeed, I don't think we shall let you stand still!
If you could—but you can't; it will take many years,
The brightest and best made of hopes, joys, and fears—
To raise up the Wretched from Ignorance's slime,
And save from the plunge to the Waters of Crime!
But I pray you attempt—look forward, not back,
Though you leave in your wake a bright silver track.
Rouse the souls that are dormant with eloquent words,
That are struck from the fire-heart of Genius like
swords,
To storm all the strongholds of error and wrong,
By the right and the might that to Truth must belong.
Cast the idol of Self from the hearts where its rule.
Corrupts the best natures to fashion a fool!
Making blind, making deaf, making dull every sense,
To the soul's truest joys, that are lasting, intense.
Ab, indeed, if you can but achieve such a feat,
All the good will rush in, like waters that meet
To form a strong river, and bear on its tide

Humanity onward, with Hope for its guide;
Till the haven that Worldlings still doubt and deride,
Shall be found and be seen by Reality's light,
And the Day that is dawning succeed the world's
Night!"
The publication is graced with its usual diversity of
prose and poetical contributions.

WooLwlclr, JAN. 9.—The Stromboli steam-sloop,
Commander Lord Amelius Beauclerk, left Greenhithe
on Friday morning, after having had her compasses
adjusted, and will call at Portsmouth on her passage
to Lisbon.

The Heels steam-vessel, Commander Charles
Starmer, was reported yesterday to be at Green-
hithe.

SOUTH AMERICA.

lorruttroor., JAN. B.—The packet Dean, Captain
Dein, arrived this morning from the River Plate,
brings accounts from Monte Video to the 11th of
November inclusive.
Oribe had, on the 30th of October, re-opened upon
the town with great activity the fire of his batteries.
Entre Rios accounts state that Urquirs had marched
with a large force on Corrientes.
Her Majesty's packet, with the September mails
hence, had arrived from Rio at Monte Video. Busi-
ness was somewhat more lively than for some time
previously. Exchange on England, 41i. Freights
were rather lower ; the quotations for hides and tal-
low were 755. to 765. per ton.
The following is an extract from a commercial
letter received by this arrival :
" Monte Video, Nov. 9.
_

" We have a considerable stir in this market at
present, caused by the arrival of several purchasers
from the interior provinces of Buenos Ayres, who are
all in haste to take advantage of the time allowed
them by Roses to take goods thence ; as you are
dotibtless aware that Rosas had notified on the 26th
ult. to the collector of the Custom-house that no
vessel should be allowed to enter, or be cleared out-
wards, under 120 tons burden, after the 30th inst.,
which is tantamount to the closing the ports, so long
talked of. But it cannot be supposed that the French
will allow him to have all his own way ; the object
being evidently to cut off the resources of the Go-
vernment. It is to be hoped that ere this period
shall have expired such accounts will arrive from
Europe as to cause an annulment of so injurious a
step.
" The purchasers at present in the market will
take their goods by way of the Rosaria, by which
means they save considerable esrpense."

THE MIRROR.

The Mirror appears in a new dress this month.
The paper is of better quality, the letter-press
is clearer, the double column arrangement has
been given up, and the Mirror now has as neat
an appearance as any of its monthly; contemporaries.
The number opens with the first chapter of a
work, by Mr. Percy B. St. John, entitled "Maxi-
milian Robespierre, his Life and Opinions." Mr.
St. John undertakes to rescue the character of
Robespierre from the aspersions which have been cast
upon it, and to prove that he was honest, sincere,
humane, and virtuous—a task which, with all his
ability, Mr. St. John will find of somewhat difficult
performance. He scarcely enters upon it in this
chapter, which may be considered as the bill of
indictment, from the charges contained in which he
is to defend his client. There is one accusation,
however, which Mr. St. John passes over much too
lightly, saying it is only worthy of notice as a curious
opinion—it is the accusation of M. Delaure "that
Robespierre was throughout an agent of the
emigration, and was secretly wishing for the counter-
revolution." The accusation was brought against
him long before the days of M. Delaure—it has been
often repeated since, and has never been satisfactorily
refuted. His personal connexions, his conduct dur-
ing the early days of the revolution, before the States-
General became the National Assembly, and during
the early days of the National Assembly, show that
his propensities were rather towards royalty than
towards republicanism, and it was not until all
chance of a restoration was gone, that he, to use the

NEWGATE AND LEADED/NAZI.

Since Monday last the arrivals of oountry-killed moat
for these markets have been seasonably extensive. The
supplies on offer to-day, slaughtered in the metropolis,
were tolerably good, and of somewhat improved quality.
Prime Beef, Mutton, Veal, and Pork, sold steadily, at
fully last week's quotations., In all other kinds only a
moderate business was doing, at barely late rates. The
supply of Foreign Meat was small.

BOROUGH AND SPITALPIELDS.

The arrivals of Potatoes coastwise have been on a
moderate scale since our last; while the imports from
abroad have not exceeded 80 tons, chiefly from Belgium.
The best parcels are in good request, at very full
prices, but other kinds are a slow sale.—York

THE ECLECTIC REVIEW.

After a superficial reference to the anomalous posi-
tion of the Presbyterian clergy of Ulster, and their
pertinacity in maintaining their regiutn donum interests,
the Eclectic gives a very lively and agreeable descrip-
tion of John Duncan's Travels in 'Western Africa dur-
ing 1845 and 1846, startingfrom Whydah, and passing
through the territory of Dahomey to Adofoodia in
the Interior." The third article is a curiosity, sug-
gested by a still greater curiosity : it is a paper which
asserts the " Credibility of the Evangelists," and is
suggested by a book called " An Examination of the
Testimony of the Four Evangelists, by the Rules ofEvi-
deuce administered in Courts of Justice," and written
by Simon Greenleaf, LL.D., Professor of Law in
Harvard University. Clever as it is, we cannot but
think that it is battling too much against infidelity
with its own weapons—weapons quite inadequate for
the settlement of such august and awful mysteries as
the mysteries of the Christian religion. This is fol-
lowed by an historical chapter on King James 11. and
the acquittal of the Seven Protestant Bishops in 1688 ;
by a criticism on Leopold Ranke's " History of
Servia ;" by a notice of Hutton's " Five Years in
the East ;" and by an additional enforcement of the
necessity of national education. The most attractive
contribution for January will be, however, the com-
prehensive article on " English Schools of Art."

THE JOURNAL. W. AGRICULTURE.

There is nothing whatever of a superficial character
in the writings contained in this able and practical
quarterly. The various papers are the result of re-
search and experience. A spirit of true benevolence
has actuated the contribution of the first article
for January—being an examination into the condi-
tion of " The Labouring Classes," suggested by the
eloquent disquisitions of M. Charpentier. The re-
marks upon the " Influence of Railways," and the
necessity of road reform are judicious; and we
would particularly direct attention to the admirable
paper on " The use of Lime in Agriculture," by
Professor Johnston.

THE LATE RAJA OF BATTARI.

Mr. LEWIS then rose, according to notice, to bring
forward a resolution to the effect that the Court should
recommend that the title, territory, and property, to
which the Raja was entitled under the treaty of the 55th
of September, 1819, should be restored to his adopted
son.

After a brief discussion the motion was withdraws,
but the subject was not finally dropped when we went
to press;; and as Mr. G. Thompson has a notice on the
paper relating to the occupation of Sinde, the Court will
sit to a late hour.

PosT-OFFICE.—The following notice was posted at

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHAN GE—WEDNESDAY.
The arrivals of English Wheat for our market during
the present week have been on a very moderate scale.
To-day the show of samples was small, and a steady
amount of business was transacted, at fully the
advance noticed on Monday. Selected samples of fo•
reign Wheat were had at is per quarter more money
The middling and inferior kinds sold at very full prices.
Malting Barley was firm, and quite as dear. Grinding
and distilling sorts maintained late figures. The Malt
trade was steady, at extreme currencies. Oats were a
slow sale, and the inferior qualities were 6d per cwt.
lower. Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn ruled dull, but
we cannot call them cheaper. The top price of Flour
advanced to 475 per 280 lbs

EAST INDIA HOUSE—(THIS DAY.)
A Quarterly General Court of the Proprietors of East
India stock was held this day at their house in Leaden-
hall-street. The chair was taken at twelve o'clock by Henry
St. George Tucker, Esq., Chairman .of the Director..
The minutes of the last Court having been read, and the
usual routine business of the Quarterly Court hating
been gone through,
Mr. POYNDER brought forward a motion of which he
had given notice, to the effect that the local government
of Bengal exceeded their commission in continuing the
contribution of thirty•five thousand rupees annually to
support the temple of Juggernaut, and that the time was
fully arrived when it became the imperative duty of the
Court, to Christianity and to the country, to interpose
and to declare that all such support of heathenism shall
have immediate end. The Honourable Proprietor en-
forced the propositions of this resolution at considerable
length.
Mr. SULLIYAN seconded the motion.
Mr. LEWIS opposed the motion, on the ground that
the payment was one to which, however objectionable
in other respects, the Government of Bengal was bound
by the pledge which was given when they took posses-
sion of the territory, with tke lands and revenues of the
temple.
The CHAIRMAN, in answer to an Honourable Pro-
prietor, gave explanations of the manner in which this
alleged obligation was contracted, in accordance with the
argument of Mr. Lewis.
After a prolonged discussion, Mr. POYNDIR replied ;
and as he refused to abide by a show of hands, the
Court divided, when the resolution was negatived by a
majority of seventy to lour.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of March 21.)
SUGAR—To day prices further declined for all sorts
of raw Sugar, as supplies were plentiful, whilst there was
not the least improvement in the export demand, and the
home trade made purchases with caution. The decline to-
day was more apparent on the better sorts of Mauritius.
West India was operated in with much caution for all pur-
poses, whilst the rates taken were rather under those
that existed on Friday, and there is a larger quantity of
all sorts on offer. The sales privately are only 150
hhds and tres. Mauritius is cheaper than any other sort
of Sugar.
REPINED.—Today there was less demand for Refined
goods, and prices were not so firm; Standard Lumps
selling at 53s to 53s 6d, and brown grocery at 52s 6d;
there is also an increased quantity on offer. For Bonded
Crushed Sugar the demand is only for small parcels at
58s to 29a per cwt.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the quantity of Mau-
ritius Sugar offered at public sale was large, and con-
sisted of four parcels amounting to 12,150 bags, the prin-
cipal part comprised of middling and good yellow sorts.
There is a desire on the part of holders to sell, but
they submitting to prices is per cwt under those pre-
viously current for the better kinds of yellow, and Gd
for other sorts, caused nearly the whole to find buyers.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal was only in
limited demand, and the public sales of 3,957 bags went
at a further decline of Gd per cwt.
FOREIG24.—To-day there was little passing privately
in any kind of Foreign Sugar, although there were sellers
rather under former rates. At public sale 12 bags and
6 barrels of Santa Martha were sold at 43s to 46s for
yellow, and at as for white; 5 hhds of Havalinsh at 46s
for very fine yellow.

DERBY.

The Derby Election Committee re-assembled this
morning; Mr. Childers in the chair; when the evidence
of bribery on the part of Mr. Strutt, the sitting member
and his agents was resumed.
At the close of the second witness's evidence,
Mr. Sergeant WRANGEAK said it would perhaps save
the time of the Committee and expense to the other side
if he admitted that the allegations of bribery had been
established against the agents of Mr. Strutt. lie denied
however that the honourable gentleman himself had
been personally concerned in the corrupt practices, and
he should be able to show by the testimony ot unim-
peachable witnesses, that so far from Mr. Strutt having
taken part in or been cognizant of the cases of bribery
proved on the other side, that gentleman distinctly inti-
mated to his friends and partizans that he would be no
party to anything in the shape of bribery and corruption.

most of these arms to be restored. Amongst these was

RAILWAY.

Mr. CHAPLIN moved the second reading of this Bill.
It was but a mile and three-quarters in length, and what
he asked those who intended to oppose the Bill was this,
to allow it to go with other schemes before a Com-
mittee up stairs. It would be on the narrow gauge,
and as it would possibly open up again a conflict be-
tween the broad and narrow gauges, he thought the
course he had pointed out was the most advisable to
adopt.
Sir T. ACKLAND moved that the Bill be read a
second time this day six months, on the ground that
the South-Western Company, by whom the Bill was
promoted, were making their way, by " force of gold,"
into a territory west of Exeter, in which the Legislature
had never consented to the extension of the narrow gauge.
The intention of Parliament was clearly that the Exeter
and Crediton Railway should remain a perfectly in-
dependent line. If the House should sanction the in-
troduction of the narrow gauge by means of this all,
they would be sanctioning the continuation of a small
piece of narrow gauge, at least sixty miles distant from
any other portion of narrow gauge railway. No harm
would result from refusing the second reading of the
Bill for this session at least, and ho trusted that the
House would not consent to allow the Bill to be ',kid a
second time.

Sir J. Y. BULLER seconded the motion.
Sir J. DUCKWORTH trusted that the House would
not decide upon the merits o ithe Bill, upon its second
reading, but adopt the same manner as was always
adopted with respect to Bills of this nature, and send it
.-01 Committee to decide upon the merits. The Com-
Afttee appointed by the House in the last ses.ion of
Parliament had decided upon sanctioning a narrow
gauge line from Salisbury to Exeter, and the House had
adopted that decision. It only rested now with the
House of Lords to give a final decision upon the subject.
Sir J. Y. BULLER. trusted that the House would
adopt the proposition of his lion. Friend (Sir T. Acland),
for he looked upon this question as a battle -of the
gauges, and nothing else.
Colonel SEYM ER trusted that the House would allow
the Bill to go to a Committee up-stairs, and be decided
upon its merits.
Mr. STRUTT thought that a patient inquiry ought
to take place on the subject of this Bill before the House
decided upon its merits. He thought the Bill ought to
go before a Committee up stairs, and he trusted, there-
fore, the Hon. Baronet would withdraw his amendment.
Sir R. INGLIS thought that his Hoe. Friend the
Member for North Devon was justified in the course he
had pursued, and he should, therefore, support his
amendment.

After some observations from Mr. SCOTT,
Strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the House
divided, when there appeared—

Against it 56

The Bill was then read a second time and ordered to
be committed.

MALT A.

MALTA, MARCU 13.—The fleet undt r Sir W. Par-
ker continues on the coast of Sicily, and its return
is not spoken of. Each vessel as it arrives on the
station, is dispatched to join the Admiral, and from
the fact of provisions being forwarded, it is sup-
posed that its absence will yet extend to some time.
The Harlequin brig, long since ordered to South
America, has not yet sailed for these seas, arid has,
within a few days past, returned to Catania. The
Fantoine has been despatched to Tripoli. She is
ordered home. It is thought, however, that in con-
sequence of the events on the continent, both these
vessels may be detained by the Admiral.
The Archbishop Cocle, Confessor to the King of
Naples, having been obliged to fly from Naples, ar-
rived here by a Neapolitan war steamer, the Nettuno,
and has been received by the Roman Catholic eccle-
siastical authorities with much kindness. The
steamer has returned to Naples.;
There have been no further disturbances betwee❑
the military and the people.

HORSHAM ELECTION.

The Members of the Horsham Election Committee
were summoned to the table and sworn.
GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY DEVIATIONS.

On the motion for the postponement of the second
reading of this Bill,
Lord GALWAY moved that the Bill be read a
second time this day six months, contending that the
proposed deviations had repeatedly been rejected by
Parliament. and they were of no public utility.
Mr. 0. DUNCOMBE opposed the amendment, and
supported the motion for the postponement.
Sir E. COLEBROOKE would support the amend-
ment, as he considered the decision of Committees of the
House ought not to be put lightly aside.
Mr. S. WORTLEY said ho had only heard within
the last quarter of an hour that any opposition was
intended to the Bill, and he believed other Hon: Alem-
hers were in a similar position. He thought his Hon.
Friend should not press his motion to a division.
Mr. HOPE said he was a member of the Committee,
that last year rejected a similar Bill, and that he should
support the amendment.
Mr. C. BRUCE said he was also a member of the
Committee, and deprecated the time of Members being
occupied in sitting on Committees to try the merits of
Bills which had been rejected the preceding session.
He should support the amendment.
Mr. STRUTT said that eo far as he understood the
subject it appeared to him that the only question before
the House was the delay of the Bill for two days, and
he thought that the interests of the public and the credit
of the House would be best supported if the House
acceded to the delay.
The Earl of LINCOLN said that he had been from
the first period a warm supporter of this particular line
of railway, but he certainly felt it to be his duty not to
vote in favour of the adjournment of the Bill. The delay
of two days would not put the House in any better
position to decide upon the question; on the contrary,
they would, no doubt, be called upon OR Thursday next
to decide the question after the parties had had the
opportunity of bringing its powerful influence to bear
upon individual Members of the House. He most
earnestly trusted, therefore, that the House would de-
cide in favour of the amendment of his Noble Friend,
that the Bill be read a second time this day six months.
These deviation Bills ought to be looked upon by
the House with the greatest jealousy.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. A. DUNCOMBE made a few observations in
explanation, after which strangers were ordered to with-
draw, and the House divided, when there appeared—
