L ETERATURE.
THE FOREIGN QUARTERLY REVIEW.
LXXIL
This number contains several articles of a first-rate
character. Indeed we have rarely seen the Foreign
Quarterly display so much ability, or furnish so many
papers of general and deep interest. There are two,
however, on the affairs of France that require par-
ticular notice—that on " Capefigue's Europe since
the Accession of Louis Philippe, and the other on
the " French Revolution," as described by Dahlmann
and Niebuhr. It is to be regretted that the writer of
the first has displayed so much nationality, in some
instances not very impartial, that he has occasionally
maligned the French, and that one of his great ob-
jects is to prove, what he calls " the cardinal fact,"
that Louis Philippe' both before and after the revolu-
tion of July, played the part of a consummate hypo-
crite. We are not the apologists of the King, and
are ready to admit that after he mounted the throne
the acts of his Government materially differed from
his recorded professions, both at that period and for
some short time afterwards; but still it is only fair to
inquire whether be could safely have acted otherwise,
and whether a man, on being convinced of the danger
of carrying out certain political doctrines which he
once admitted, is to be consistent at the risk, nay,
with the certainty, of committing greater faults or
crimes. One of the principal objects of Louis Phi-
lippe was the maintenance of peace in Europe, and, to
the wonder and admiration of the world, he has, for
fifteen years, been eminently successful. Some of
these professions certainly led the French to believe
that the King was favourable to democratic institu•
tions, and that his reign would exemplify all that was
implied in the epithet "Citizen King," but even the
accuser of this extraordinary man admits that the
French are not adapted for democratic institutions, and
that they must submit to servitude under some form 'or
other till they have a national religion. " The French,"
says he, " perceive no absurdity in prating from time to
time about democratic institutions as though it were
practicable to reconcile such things with the charac-
ter of a people, a moiety of whom, by their own show-
ing, live in habitual disregard of the fundamental
duties of society, With these data before him any
one may foresee what is to be the future destiny of
France. It must submit to servitude under some
form or other until it can resolve to have a national
religion ; Catholicism, if it can discover nothing
better. There is no freedom without faith." An
impartial writer would not have allowed the oppor-
tunity to escape of doing justice to Louis Philippe on
both these points, He has done more to restore a
sense of religious duty in France than ever was done
by any monarch, and what ruler, nay what private
individual, ever showed more regard to the " funda-
mental duties of society ?" If the example of a
Court has any effect in encouraging morality in
cherishing domestic affections and forming the cha-
racter of a people, Louis Philippe is surpassed by
none in that respect. It is admitted by all parties—
by even the most bitter enemies of the present dy-
nasty and of all dynasties—that his conduct in. his
family is not only unexceptionable, but merits the
highest praise. Religion and morality being abso-
lutely necessary, according to this writer, for the es-
tablishment of free institutions, and without which
there can be nothing but servitude, the highest praise
should have been bestowed on the Sovereign who is
thus paving the way for good government on the
very principles recommended by the person who
heaps upon him abuse. Notwithstanding these de-
fects, however, much useful information and interest-
ing details are given respecting the state of France
since the July revolution. It may be necessary,
however, to make another remark with regard to the
party who overthrew Charles X. The writer says it
was the intimate friends of Louis Philippe, men
with whom he was in daily and nightly habits of in-
tercourse, between whom and him there were no
secrets, that did it all. " Few men," he adds,
" knew exactly that the ordinances were coming,
but most persons anticipated some foolish act
of power, by which the throne would be
endangered or lost ; and the probability is, that among
the keenest haruspices in France, his present Majesty
Louis Phillippe was the chief." This only does
honour to his sagacity, if the word can be applied
in reference to events the effects of which were pal-
pable to all :careful observers. In this country,
every newspaper conducted with ordinary ability
prophecied what took place, and repeatedly warned
the Polignac party that they were taking every pos-
sible step to complete the parallel between the Eng-
lish and French Restorations. Could a clear-headed
man, like the Duke of Orleans, fail to see things in
the same light ? and is any blame to be attached to
him that he prepared for the consequences ? The
other article alluded to, that on the French
Revolution, brief though it is, contains much, and
merits the highest piaise, not only for the excellent
language in which the writer expresses his sentiments,
but for the comprehensive views he takes of the great
events and the leading men that distinguished that
remarkable event. There is nothing vague, or na-
tional, or sectarian in his remarks; they are appa-
rently the candid expressions of an impartial observer,
and are entirely uninfluenced by the prevailing
opinions respecting the conduct of such men as
Robespierre, and Mirabeau, and Brissot. We only
regret that ho adverts to so few of the leading cha-
racters. He does full justice to Mirabeau, and even
ventures to praise Robespierre ; and shows, in the fol-
lowing extract what alone was wanting to make the
revolution produce good fruits :

An experiment will be tried next week of firing from
the Excellent gunnery-ship shot and shell at an old
steam funnel, to ascertain what effect the firing may
have on it. The funnel will be fixed on a floating stage,
and secured by chains, as in the usual way on board
steam-vessels, and placed at a regulated distance from
the ship. We believe this trial has been ordered at the
suggestion of Captain Chads. In an important trial, as
this will be, we think a new funnel might have been
granted, as it is scarcely probable an old will present
such resistance, after having been weakened by wear,
as one new from the foundry.
The Cormorant steam-sloop, Commander Gordon, was
at Callao, on the Ist of November. A private letter says
—" One of our boats capsized on the 20th of October,
and Dr. Thompson, the assistant-surgeon, and three
seamen (Benjamin Serjeant, George Emery, and John
Batten) were drowned. We had been at Callao since
the Ist of August doing nothing ; the Admiral is down
among the island with the Modeste and Salamander, at
Otaheite, and has been there for the last twelve months.
The America, 50, after leaving the Sandwich Islands,
expected to go to the Columbia River; and report also
says that the Admiral goes there in the Collingwood,
after having been the round of the islands."

The distance was accomplished in 2h. 27m. 14a., or at a
rate of 26 75 miles an hour. The weight of train pro-
pelled, exclusive of the engine' was 204 tons 18cwt. 'qr..
31b. Soon after the arrival of this train at Didcot, the
Ixion, a powerful passenger engine, having driving
wheels 7 feet in diameter, came up with a train on 15
trucks, laden with coal, to be attached to the train of the
Ileicules, making in all 28 trucks and one first class
carriage. After all matters were arranged this levia-
thian train proceeded on its journey ; its weight, length,
and the time it passed the different stations, are given
from the same authority as that of the down trip :
Weight, 406 tons 3 cwt. lqr. 101 b. ; length of train, 232
yards.

There is much that is picturesque and touching in
the description of Lord Arden's viewing his young
bride through the cottage lattice :
" Alone!—that worn-out word,
So idly spoken, and so coldly heard;"
And also in the old man's sudden death, which comes
directly afterwards. Indeed, the whole of this nar-
rative is drawn with a delicate and tender pencil.
Several blemishes of style, however, obtrude them-
selves here and there ; for instance where the principle
character exclaims, "Mine one dark deed," &c., an
affectatation in the pronoun, essentially rugged and
inelegant ; and again, where he observes that " the
curse of stagnor settles on the universe," an expres-
sion for which the author appears to have a terrible
fondness. Besides these two specimens of careless-
ness, there is one of a meaner and yet more incor-
rigible nature, namely, the selection of a most inap-
propriate and inexpressive adjective—the lowest but
least excusable fault in poetry. By this single word
a very fair, though somewhat trite, metaphor is
ruined :

Multiply these efforts, say we, usque ad nauseam, and
France will remain as incapable as ever of compre-
hending the daring sword-cuts and subtle allusions of

Shakspere. Among the students of foreign litera-
ture some must always, according to the impulses of
nature, entertain for him a feeling of idolatry ; but
the mob, the Boileau-loving, Racine-spirited mob can
never persuade themselves into anything like genuine
affection for the insular poet. He is essentially too
untrammelled, too vast, too universal, and too deter-
minate a thinker to arouse the sympathies or elicit
the applause of a people notorious for the daintiness
and mincing precision of their drama. Besides this
the impossibility of rendering Shakspere into French
couplets, and at the same time sustaining his creations
in their original elevation, forms another obstacle to
his popularisation in Paris : Achilles in a " taglioni "
could never excite in us sentiments of awe or admira-
tion. What is there in the following version of
Hamlet's soliloquy—however elegant, or literal, or
ingenious the verson may be in itself—to fill our souls
with the solemn and pathetic reverie always roused
within us by the original ?
" Etre ou ne pas etre ; oui, voilg la question:—
Lequel vaut mieux? S'armer de resignation
Sous les traits outrageants du sort toujours contraire;
On hien se revolter, et, d'un coup, s'y soustraire?
Mourir,—dormir,—c'est tout," &c.

Here the epithet applied to the wind totally dispels
the illusion of its rushing down the acclivity in the
face of the one clambering to its summit. Altogether
this part of the "New Timon" is greatly inferior to
its predecessor, though it is interlarded with the same
caustic and epigramatic points which we have already
particularised as the chief merit of Part I.

IRELAND.
RESIGNATION OF CHIEF JUSTICE
PENNEFATHER.

TIIE HAGUE, JAN. B.—The bulletin of the laws
publishes the following royal decree of the 7th Jan.

The Rhadamanthu- s steam-troop-ship, Master Com-
mander Laen, is ordered from the Irish station to the
Mediterranean, to join the squadron under Vice-Admiral
Sir W. Parker.

" We, William,

The Mercantile Advertiser published the following
yesterday afternoon:—' We are now enabled to an-
nounce that Chief Justice Pennefather has resigned.
The appointments consequent on the retirement of Mr.
Pennefather have not yet been fully arranged. If Mr
Blackburne should be transferred to the Queen's Bench,
Mr. T. B. Smith, the Attorney-General, will go to the
Rolls Court, If this arrangement should not be adopted
the Attorney-General will get the Chief Justiceship.
In any event Mr. Greene advances to the Attorney-
Generalship ; and it is said Mr. Sergeant Warren will
be the new Solicitor. General, For that office other
names are mentioned ; but on this point all at present is
mere speculation."
The most contradictory rumours are afloat as to some
of the changes rendered necessary by the resignation of
Mr. Pennefather. The latest version is that Mr. Smith,
the Attorney-General, will get the Chief Justices hip of
the Queen's Bench, the scene of his extraordinary en-
counter with Mr. Fitzgibbon during the state trials ;
that Mr. Wilson Greene advances to the Attorney-
Generalship, to be succeeded as Solicitor by Mr. Brews-
ter ; and that Mr. Corballis, a Roman Catholic Queen's
Counsel, is to take the place of Mr. Brewster as advising
counsel to the Irish Government.

Foreign Affairs, of the Ist of January, 1846, of the

augmentation of the tonnage duty on ships, under

cent. on the import and export duties upon goods im-
ported and exported in ships under foreign flags ; but
that this measure regards only the ships of those nations
by which the Russian flag is treated on the same foot-
ing as the national flag is in that of the most favoured
nations; _ _

Surely this is the degeneration of grandeur into
prettiness ! It is a modern dandy beside Jupiter
Tonans Hence it is that we dissent from the re-
viewer's position, that by a repetition of such attempts
as the one just quoted, we shall he " spared the hu-
miliating spectacle of nations shuttering their eyes to
light, closing their ears to truth and knowledge, and
refusing to listen to the voice of melody, if transmitted
across a frontier line, or a few leagues of salt water."
Until the French are more approximated to us in
spirit, until their idiom possesses a closer affinity to
the idiom of Albion, they cannot entertain any
genuine, natural, unaffected regard for the mightiest
of our national genius—William Shakspere.
There is an enlightened and detailed bird's-eye
view of the " Political State of Prussia" in this num-
ber, the gist of which is condensed in the sentence—
"Royal authority is no longer an object of reverence;
and the Jaws themselves, being considered in no higher
light than as the expression of the royal will, are gra-
dually losing their salutary influence." In addition
to this there are some sagacious impressions respect-
ing the " German Catholic Church," and a sensible
commentary upon " Charles Lyell's Travels in North
America." We shall, however, content oursclves
with giving the subjoined estimates of the " Earls
Spencer and Grey:"—
" Lord Grey was a man of lofty integrity—of un-
blemished honour—the object of affectionate attachment
to his friends—of respect and admiration to all his
countrymen. He never swerved an instant from that

THE AGE OF PITT' AND FOX. By the author
of "Ireland and its Rulers." Vol. 1., Bvo.
The subject of this work is of infinite importance,
not only from its historical interest, but because it
has intimate relation with the great science of Poli-
tics. For nearly five-and-twenty years Pitt and Fox
battled for supremacy. Theirs was no common con-
test. The noblest and the best were arrayed on one
side or on the other, for it was considered honourable
to serve under such mighty leaders. They have
passed away, but it was fitting that some memorial
of their long struggle should exist, and the time has
now arrived when the truth may be spoken of these
illustrious dead without any fear of injuring the inte-
rests or wounding the feelings of the living.
The popular and clever author of " Ireland and
its Rulers" has undertaken to write an ac-
count of what happened in this country from
the termination of the American war to the
death of Charles James Fox. In other words,
to sketch the political history of Great Britain and
Ireland, from 1782 to 1806. During the whole of
that period the Government of this country was in the
hands of Pitt or Fox. Hence, a work tracing their
career must give the history of public affairs. We
may say, at once, that this design, although of great
magnitude, is neither too large nor unmanageable for
the writer before us. The first volume of his work,
embracing a history of the coalition ministry, and of
Pitt's administration to the close of 1784, exhi-
bits great industry, much eloquence considerable
skill in arranging and condensing facts, and the
highest impartiality in commenting upon them. Every
accessible source of information appears to have been
visited, and while we have greater accuracy than
Wraxall possessed, we have a philosophical exa-
mination of the springs of action which was far be-
yond him. The style is remarkably free and flowing,
reminding us of Lord Brougham's best manner.
The author commences with the downfall of Lord
North's Government, in 1782. The Rockingham
Ministry succeeded, but was personally distasteful to
George the Third, inasmuch as he believed that the
party in office wished to make the sovereign a mere
cypher—to reduce him to the nominal power of a
doge—possessing the highest apparent station, and
the smallest actual power. That Cabinet broke up
by the death of Lord Rockingham, its nominal head.
Then ensued a struggle between ox and Lord Shel-
burne, which ended in the defeat of Shelburne, and the
well-known coalition between Lord North and Fox

The Comet steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander W.
Pretyman, returned on Friday from the Thames, whither
she had attended the Centaur new steam-frigate to get

It is reported that the 100 senior captains of the navy
have been promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral, thus
embracing those of 1808 down to those of 1813, as far
as Sir Watkin Pell, inclusive. It is also stated that the
following alteration has been made in the naval uniform
—viz., Captains to wear the star, crown, and anchor;
Commanders, crown and anchor; and Lieutenants, the
anchor, on their epaulets; and all officers of wardroom
rank, to wear two epaulets.

The Attorney-General being made a Judge must
vacate the pocket borough if Ripon; and if Lord de
Grey be consenting party, Mr. Gladstone can thus find
another opening into the House of Commons. Perhaps,
after all, this was one of the causes of the well-timed
resignation of Chief Justice Pennefather.

PROSECUTION AGAINST THE " NATION "
NEWSPAPER.

The Freeman's Journal says, " Notwithstanding all
the counsel learned in the law whose services the Crown
have an official right to command, the Attorney-Ge-
neral did not deem himself secure in entering upon his
presecution against the Nation, without retaining Mr.
Henn, Q.C., one of the principal defenders of the state
traversers in the memorable trials of 1844. Mr. Duffy
having been served with notice that informations had
been received against him, on the same day on which
they were sworn wrote by that night's post, through
his solicitor, to retain Mr. Henn, who was then at
Lifford, in Donegal, presiding at Quarter Sessions. Mr.
Henn's reply was, that he had been already retained by
the Crown ! This was sharp practice on Mr. Duffy, for
the retainer to that gentleman must have been given be-
fore informations had been sworn.

" Our Minister of Finance is charged with the axe-
cution of the present decree, which shall be inserted in
the bulletin of the laws, and a copy transmitted to the
Alinister for Foreign Affairs."
VIENNA, JAN. 3.—His Majesty the Emperor Nicholas
left Vienna this morning, at eight o'clock, by the rail-
way, to Olmutz, to return to his dominions.

line of public duty which appeared to him the most
direct. Office accompanied by the desertion of a friend,
or the abandonment of a principle, was in his eyes in-
famy.* For years he confronted obloquy, and defied an
adverse Court. His perceptions were too clear to allow
him to adopt what was vague or obscure ; his heart was
too upright to allow him to sanction what was mean or
dastardly. He could not stoop to flatter a prince ; he
could not play tricks to please a rabble. His public
speaking reflected the character of the man. His lan
guage was admirably adapted to convey his meaning,
neither sinking too near the ground nor rising out of
sight—clear, genuine, unadulterated English. Although
no one could see Lord Grey without marking in him a
certain dignity of bearing and high- bred courtesy of
manner, his ordinary life was entirely without formality
or pomp."
" Lord Spencer was eighteen years younger than
Lord Grey. His diligence was indefatigable, his sagacity
quick, his judgment seldom at fault. His views were
large and comprehensive, embracing the whole compass
of improvement in our laws, our commerce, and our
constitution. kli• tongue was far from eloquent ; and
although his arguments were sound and comprehensive,
he was so often wanting in words as to be obscure, and
unable to convey adequately his meaning. But the
confidence of his friends, his party, and the country,
supplied all deficiencies, and gave to his few and simple
expressions as much influence over his audience as had
ever been obtained by the most admired eloquence of
our greatest orators. He was plain in manner and in
dress, but a short intercourse disclosed the scholar, the
gentleman, and the statesman.
" Men may differ about the wisdom of their Parlia-
mentary measures, or the ability of their civil adminis-
tration ; but the noble, exalted, stainless spirit of these
two men must always be venerated as long as public
virtue is admired, and the name of England has its
place in history."
This eulogium comes with peculiar force and appo-
siteness immediately upon the close of the year (1845)
in which both these celebrated noblemen expired—
" the one full of years, sinking gradually into the
grave ; the other in the full possession of bodily
vigour and mental activity, swept away by a sudden
inroad of disease,"—men with great earnestness of
purpose and great force of character.
* How far this sentence is applicable to Lord John Russell,
with reference to Lord Palmerston and the abolition of the
corn-laws, upon the occasion of his late resignation, we leave
it to common sense to decide.

" In this universal enthusiasm of the nation was to be
found, not only the living principle of the revolution ;
but the explanation of the circumstance that few of its
leaders were great men, and that the greatest of them
accomplished but little. The multitude was, probably,
at first neither better nor worse than the mass of a popu-
lation might be expected to be found, when exposed to
the effects of ignorance and poverty. In its excitement,
t became like an intoxicated man, more fearless and
forgetful of self, and at the same time more ferocious
and reckles . But, the leader of an infuriated mob is
almost necessarily weak or wicked. Only a blood-
thirsty maniac, like Murat, could keep pace with the
violence of the people, without a deliberate conscious-
ness of guilt. The only field for great qualities was in
resistance ; only Mirabeau was powerful enough to stem
the current for a time, and before it had reached the
height of flood, he was removed from the conflict by
death. One indispensable requisite of greatness consists
in a business-like instinct, which can discriminate be-
t ween definite practicable objects and empty systems of
words. Great men would not have wasted time like the
Constituent Assembly, and the Girondists, in discussing
the merits of constitutions, till they had first secured the
means of enforcing obedience to them. They would
have provided a moving force, before they adjusted the
machinery. Robespierre, almost alone, relied on the
extreme revolutionary spirit as the support of his
power ; but, he also was filled with impracticable
dreams of a future reign of fraternity and benevolence,
in which his only instrument of government, the guillo-
tine, should be laid aside. His method could not be last-
ing, and he had provided no alternative to succeed it. It
is more possible, however, to attribute greatness to
Robespierre than to Roland or Brissot."
The history of Abelard and Heloise will be read
with interest by many, but we think too much has
been made of such a revolting subject. Neither of
the parties display one quality useful in society.
They both acted the part of hypocrites. The hero

cording to her own admission, she devoted herself to
a religious life without one quality compatible with
its duties ; she acted the part of a hypocrite from
some wayward fancies ; and, even in the most solemn
scenes of the cloister, seemed to forget every virtuous
sentiment. Pope's description of her is not a whit
overcharged, and he might well make her say :
" Let wealth, let honour, wait the wedded dame;
August her deed, and sacred be her fame;
Before true passion all these views remove;
Fame, wealth, and honour, what are you to love?"

STATE OF THE COUNTRY.
Mr. Sergeant HowLEY, chairman of Tipperary, in ad -
dressing the quarter sessions grand jury, at Cashel, on
Wednesday, said, "It is most gratifying to me to see so
numerous and so respectable an attendance. lam glad
to tell you that the cases are not very numerous nor
aggravated. There are sixty cases in all, in which
eighty persons are charged, but they are not of a serious
nature, with the exception of one case of assault, where
there was no great injury done. The use of fire-arms is
on the decline. Gentlemen, take care to call the several
witnesses, and do not be absent when they appear."
Mr. NEWEL BARRON, chairman of the King's County,
thus addressed the quarter sessions grand jury, at Philips-
town, on Tuesday:—"l have to congratulate you on the
continuance of the peaceable and quite state of this part
of the King's Country—free, I may say, from agrarian
disturbance. The calendar of crime, being of a light
character, requires from me but few observations. It
presents only one case of petty larceny, and four for
assault. I shall detain you for a short time while refer-

DETERMINED SUICIDE AT Guy's HOSPITAL.--
On Saturday night an inquest. was taken at Guy's Hos-
pital, before Mr. Payne, the City coroner, on view of the
body of Mr. William Dye, aged 36, assistant-surgeon
to Mr. Ryan, Bermondsey-street. Mary Davis, nurse,
said that the deceased was admitted on the 7th January.
He was under the care of Dr. Babbington. On the
following day (Thursday) he got out of bed and
screamed violently. As he appeared deranged a
strait jacket was put on. The same evening wit-
ness was called by a patient, who stated that something
had happened to him. She went to him and found
blood streaming under the waistcoat. Mr. Hill, one
of the surgeons, was fetched, who discovered a wound
in his throat, and a clasp knife was taken from the bed
by Mr. Hill. The jacket was put on by Mr. Cooker, and
deceased was fastened to the bed. Fanny Gurger, sister
of Job ward, said that, shortly before the act of the de-
ceased, he asked to have the curtains of his bed closed.
The clasp-knife deceased must have brought with
him.

stated that deceased had inflicted a large incision in in

ing. Harriett Brown, housekeeper to Mr. Ryan, stated
that deceased had formerly been in business. That day
fortnight he was taken suddenly ill, when he requested
that he should be taken to this institution. His mind
had been much affected for some time in consequence
of the change in his circumstances. He was to have en-
tered into business with his brother on New Year's Day,
when the deed of partnership would have been signed.
It is through his own folly that he became reduced.
Verdict, " Temporary Insanity."
1. WO BODIES FOUND IN THE THAMES.—Yesterday
morning, between eight andnine o'clock, the body of amiddle
aged man was found floating in the river, off lotherhithe,
by some bargemen, and was conveyed on shore to the bone-
house, to await a Coroner's inquest. In about an hour
afterwards, another body, of a young man, was picked up
in Limehouse-reach, which is supposed to be that of Mr.
George Gibson, a lighterman, who fell overboard the George
sand-barge, a week since, when entering the Regent's-canal.
FIRE IN DRURY-LANE.—Yesterday afternoon, be-
tween four and five o'clock, a fire broke out in the work-
shop belonging to Mr. Gray, carver and gilder, No. 90,
Drury-lane. It was caused by some defect in one of the
flues, and when first discovered the flames had obtained
hold of the bond timbers. The parish engine was early
at the scene, and was got to work. The different brigade
and West of England engines followed in rapid succes-
sion, and the firemen soon succeeded in extinguishing
the fire. The damage done was inconsiderable.
The mortal remains of the late lamented Earl
Granville will be interred in the family mausoleum, at
Trentham, Staffordshire.

—the sacrifice, indeed, of principle to power. The
Coalition Ministry terminated in the discomfiture
of all connected with it; Fox's India Bill being
the ostensible cause of the dismissal of the
Ministry. Then followed the Premiership of
Pitt, and the Parliamentary contest between
that able and fearless Minister and the great
Fox party. The course and termination of that
strife is relatedwith force and clearness, and the con-
clusion of the volume is occupied with the very best
account we have ever seen of the great victory which
was gained in 1782 by the Irish Parliament—a vic-
tory which obtained for that Legislature the inde-
pendendence it required—a victory which, badly
used, became as ruinous as a defeat. Mingled with
the narrative are brief sketches, personal and charac-
teristic, of the principal Irish leaders of that time.
All are brought before us—Grattan, Flood, Charle-
mont, Fitzgibbon, and the minor stars composing that
galaxy of ability and patriotism.
The mention of these sketches reminds us of the
peculiar merit of this author in pen-portraiture.
His sketches of eminent individuals, scattered
through the volume, and illustrated with anec-
dotes, seem to us the best things in it. He ex-
cels in this, and scarcely ever names a public
man without sketching him, a full length, in pen and
ink. Among the personages in this portrait gallery
are George the Third, the Prince of Wales, Lord
Chatham and William Pitt, Lord Holland and
Charles James Fox, Burke, Sheridan, Lord North,
Lord Thurlow, Dundas, Lord Rockingham, Lord
Townshend, Wilkes, Horne Tooke, Canning, Flood,
Grattan, Lord Charlemont, Lord Avonmore, the
Bishop of Derry, Lord Karnes, Adam Smith, and
many more. These personal sketches give a great
value to the work, and their impartiality greatly en-
hance it. We shall look forward with pleasurable
anxiety for the other volumes.

between one and two o'clock, a serious cab accident occurred,

the cab and the shafts, and galloped on through the Park, in
the direction of Storey's-gate, till he arrived at the railings
ending the gravel walk, against which he rushed violently,
and fell, when he was secured by some

ungrateful and unwelcome manner. There is an un-
pleasant egotism in the very first line, "London, I
take thee to a poet's heart !"—an anonymous audacity
which rather inclines the reader to gainsay the
author's pretensions to so lofty a title : and where he
afterwards utters the vaunting ejaculation, " Me life
hath skill'd !" our distaste is even redoubled. But
what we more peculiarly object to in this second part
of the "New Timon" is a very sickly and ungenerous
attack upon Alfred Tennyson. Alfred Tennyson !

the most true, the most genuine, the most spontaneous
of the poets of the day ;—Alfred Tennyson ! the
veritable and acknowledged representative of our
young bards. No more delicate or delicious verse has
issued from the press of late years than. his " Sleeping
Beauty ;" no more original conception than his " Lotos
Eaters." In venting his spleen, or possibly his jealousy,
upon a mind so sensitive and charming as Tennyson's,
the author of the " Modern Timon" has acted without
either delicacy or judgment :
.h.e has acted without
delicacy in thus arrogantly raising his pretensions to
popularity, while he endeavours to crush one of the
most subtle-minded and gentle-hearted of his contem-
poraries ; he has acted without judgment in selecting''
as a target for his ridicule perhaps the most excellent
of Tennyson's productions, "Mariana. in the Molded

beauty is enshrined among our ballad literature. As

he displays the dark and God-despised folly of fanati-

can be more truthful or penetrant than his lamenta-
tion of " Oriana ?" Before the writer of this " Ro-
mance of London" descends to pen a sarcasm on the
golden intellect of Alfred Tennyson, he should show,
what he has never yet shown, that one entire canto
of his composition is of equal value with a single
stanza of Tennyson's. Authors, but particularly
poets, are so seldom the recipients of any pecuniary
recompense for their genius in this country, that a
direct remonstrance with the Government upon a
trifling pension to a man like the one in question, is

THE EDINBURGH REVIEW, No. CLXVII,
Already, in another department of The Sun, we
have discussed the particular merits and demerits
of decidedly the most sensible, the most valuable, and
the most sagacious review in this number of the
Edinburgh, relating to " Legislation for the Working
Classes." And we have there specified the several
inaccuracies which tarnish what would otherwise
altbtdhoohneoanayelvegitleoalenrbteeedsntisa very candid exposition of a very compli-
cated theme. The reviewer indeed takes a capacious
survey of the measures by which English statesmen
have endeavoured to assuage that thirst for better
things with which the populace have been so harassed
ever since the abolition of, feudalism ; still there is an
ostensible obliquity in his vision—the obliquity
arising rather from the medium through which he
gazes than from any inherent propensity to
misrepresent. The medium in question is evidently
a straggling, insufficient, and desultory book-reading.
It is from this blemish—this spattering about of odd
and incongruous facts—in the article particularised,
that we turn with more relish to the other topics.
A pleasant and rapid glance is taken at the gradual
insinuation of Shakspere upon French popularity in
the paper christened " Shakspere in Paris." This
insinuation of genius upon the mind and heart of a
nation has been advancing, though in sluggish and
spasmodic jerks, ever since Voltaire endeavoured to
disabuse his countrymen of the notion that our
mightiest of poets was a sort of literary monstrosity--

and satisfactory confirmation of the untimely death of this
young Baronet having reached this country, his executor has
duly recorded his will in the proper Court. It was made by
him in London jest twelve months before his death, and
entirely in his own handwriting, witnessed by Messrs. T. S.
Cocks, jun., and C. Biddulph, of Charing-cross, by which he
has left his property, real and personal—the latter, valued at
35,0001.—t0 his brother Willoughby, now Sir Willoughby
Jones, Bart., subject to the payment of the following annui-
ties and bequests :—To T. A. Jones, a cousin of his late father,
401. per annum. To Mrs. Margaret Coote, 20/. per annum.
To his uncle, E. B. Lawrence, the print of Bolton Abbey, and
50/. to purchase a more lasting memorial of his regard. He
appointed his brother, the present baronet, sole executer, who
will inherit the estate of Cramer Hall, Norfolk, the deceased's
late residence. The deceased baronet was in his 29th year; and
whilst travelling in Turkey, in company, on the 7th Novem-
ber last, in the middle of the day, was waylaid and mur-
dered by robbers. When near Dullamarry, a short distance
from Macri, on passing a rock, a discharge of musketry in

with his knees, and came with the rider to the ground.
Mr. Jones's head sunk considerably in the mud, and his

aid of Mr. Liston, of London, and other eminent surgeons,
he was so far restored, that a favourable termination was
expected.
