THE FUNDS.

We have seen a letter from the Brazils, stating that, in the
course of fifteen days, a change in the Ministry there was ex-
pected to take place.
Now the Spanish loan has been taken, to the great surprise
of the speculators in it, Spanish stock has receded from 54+
to 53k, which is supposed to be owing to the party who have
contracted for it ; and we much fear that it will be a pill which
will not be easily digested, by many persons who have sub-
scribed towards it.

Consols opened at the price they left off yesterday, 91-i-
-for the Account, with little doing.
The express from Paris is of little consequence, and does
not bring any new facts from the theatre of war in Spain.
French Rentes rather improved, 77f. 55c.
The American Packet of the Bth ult. is off Liverpool. No
papers or letters as yet received.
HALF-PAST. ONE.
The foreign market continues heavy, particularly in Spanish
stock, which may be quoted at 53i ; Portuguese 82i.
Several reports are in circulation, such as Burgos and Val-
ladolid having declared for Don Carlos, and that there
is no certainty of the Spanish Loan having been contracted.
We need not say that all this is an invention for stock-job-
bing purposes,
Consols have continued firm during the whole of the morn-
ing at 91 for the account. Money is more easy this morn.
ing than it was yesterday.

HEAD OF THE ILLUSTRIOUS SCARPA.—Two
things seem to have particularly struck M. Roux in his late
ftaiian tour—,--the respect everywhere paid to the memory of
departed greatness, and the ardour evinced for the pursuit of
practical anatomy. Of both, however, he had rather an un-
pleasant proof in one imtaiice ; he was shocked, he says, at
Pavia, to see the head of the illustrious Scarpa actually under-
goina thw prooess of maceration, in a vessel along with other
anatomical preparations.—Medical Gazette,

LITERATURE,

QUARTERLY REVIEW, No. CIV.
• J. Murray, Albemarle-street.
As we have already spoken out at some length on
the subject of the political P.S. in the present number
of this high Tory Review, we shall now confine Nrlmt
we have to say, exclusively to its literary essays. These
are, for the most part, admirable—admirable for mat ter
not less than manner. The criticism on Wordsworth's
Poetry is one of the most discriminating we have ever
yet met with on this subject. Ample justice is done
to, and explanation afforded of, the general scope and
tendency of this great philosopher's poetical works,
though assuredly the writer, however he may under-
stand and appreciate Wordsworth, has not selected the
most characteristic extracts. He has contented him-
self with selections which, with one solitary exception,
claim no higher merit than that of being pretty and
descriptive. To any one who was desirous of forming
some correct estimate of the powers of Wordsworth 's
mind, we certainly should not give, as the Reviewer
has here done, profuse quotations from the " Old
Cumberland Beggar," but the whole of that sublime
Ode entitled " Intimations of Immortality from the Re'
collections of Early Childhood," which in
.the elevated
tone of its thought, the expanded benignity of its
philosophic spirit, the irregular but majestic structure
of its verse, and the quiet, forcible simplicity of its
language, is without a parallel in this, or perhaps in
any language. The " Life of Hannah More," does
justice, and more than justice, to the memory of as
common-place a writer as ever attained high distinc-
tion as a moralist. Hannah More, in an age fruitful
in common-place (when Burke, Johnson, &c. had
quitted the stage of life), was all but deified; and sl.ie
had the consummate tact to leave off writing, awl fall
back on her past reputation, just at the moment whe°.
cleverer, and more fiery and original writers., were ad-
vancing into the arena. We know of mlthing she has
written that will outlive the next ten ijrears. Her reli-
gious publications are her best, arid being remarkable,
if not for vigor of thought, or force of style, or
comprehensiveness of argument, at least for deter-
mined, unflinching orthodoxy, were warmly patronised
by the Bishops, with whom Hannah was alwaYs
pet. Dr. Porteus—himself a versifyer, and author 01
the Seatonian prize poem on'" Death," in which, midst
a wilderness of common-place, occur these striki4
lines, which have haunted our minds ever since we
first read them—

" One murder makes a villain,
Millions a hero"—
Dr. Porteus, we say, was in the constant habit of
designating Mrs. More as the " Tenth Muse-41;d
his Lordship's authority on poetic matters, stow-
ing high at the time, this sugary appellative was the
one.by which she was generally addressed by authors
who had occasion for her advice or patronage. But
though nothing more than a respectable writer, in her
private capacity, Hannah More was unimpeachable'
Her religion was without fanaticism, and her chaltY
without ostentation. She was, perhaps, a little t°°
vain of her numerous acquaintance with men of title;
but this was the fault of her day ; and she vas not 00e

age in which she lived. " Burnes's Travels into

are given from the work. The " Personal History

of a romance, with the added recommendation
of truth. The character of the Citizen Monarch
