PORTRAIT OF THE HON. MRS. NORTON.
—The Duke of Devonshire some months since gave
permission to the proprietors of the Court Magazine to
make an engraving from Mr. Hayter's celebrated portrait
of Mrs. Norton, which was painted expressly for his
Grace. We learn that it is now finished by Cochran, the
eminent Engraver, and that it will be give❑ in the forth-
coming Number for January of the Court Magazine,
which begins the New `Volume. Distinguished above all
its competitors for the grace, beauty, and utility of its
embellishments ; the Court Magazine is second to none
in its Literary Department, and we appeal, in support of
our opinion, to the three splendid volumes which have
just been completed under the able and influential superin-
tendence of the Hon. Mrs. Norton.

Prince Talleyrand and suite arrived at the
French embassy, from Paris, at half-past eleven p.m., on
Sunday. His Excellency had been absent exactly three
months. We hear that the Prince had a very stormy
passage, with a head wind from Calais, in the Firefly
steam-packet. He is, however, in wonderfully good health,
and yesterday, at two o'clock, received the visits of several
of the foreign and domestic coips diplomatique.
The Rev. G. Crabbe obtained for the copy-
right of his " Tales of the Hall," 3,0001. The work
contains 13,105 lines, so that he received 4s. 6d. and a
fraction per line. John Milton was paid for the copyright
of his " Paradise Lost" 151. This work contains 10,565
lines, thus valued at a trifle more than a farthing per
fine!

A WHALE IN THE MEDITERRANEAN.
Letters, bearing date the 20th of November, from the
province of Otranto, in the kingdom of Naples, mention
that the carcase of an enormous whale had been washed
on shore. Such an appearance, in the Adriatic, is ex-
ceefiiney rare. The animal seems to have died a natural
dusk probably from the heat of so southern a latitude.

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 24, 1833,

The Paris papers of Sunday, which arrived
thig n-mrrinn
,rontain , ,
paper of tne iZtn inst., giving the details of the
defeat of the Carlists under Baron NERVES.
There is no other news of interest from Spain.
The trial of the members of the society called
Les Droits de l'Homme, which was expected
to close on Saturday, was continued on Sunday,

in order to afford, as was stated by the

Court, time for the President to sum up. It
was generally believed, however, that the
Government had procured the postponement

in order to delay the verdict which was
expected to be in favour of the de-

fendants. Having carefully read through each
day's report of the trial, we can come to
no other conclusion than that the offence of the
conspirators, as they are called, lay in their
having suspected the intrigues of the police, and
prevented by their advice and exertions one of
those silly demonstrations against the Govern-
ment which have hitherto contributed to increase

,he power of LOUIS PHILIP, by creating alarm

in the minds of the anti-republicans. Hale 27
defendants alluded to had not conspired to defeat
the intrigues of the police, they would not have
been so formidable to the Government, and
probably a prosecution, founded in hatred, and
conducted by the vilest corruption as re-
garded the witnesses, would never have
been thought of. Should an acquittal

have taken place, Louis PHILIP will
bitterly regret that the prosecution was ever in-
stituted, for some of the defendants broached
and maintained upon their trial principles, the
publicity of which will do him more harm

than a thousand discussions would have done
in the sections of the society of which they are
members. But whether acquitted or convicted,
the result of the trial cannot be favourable to
the Government. If convicted, it would be
impossible to impose the severer penalties of the
law against the prisoners, the public feeling
being so strongly declared in their favour ; and
to allow them to escape with milder punishment
will betray the weakness of the Government.
The French Ministry met with a striking de-
feat on Saturday, when M. VOYER D'ARGEU-
sAu (a Deputy), and FESTE, a printer, were
tried for publishing a seditious pamphlet,
and triumphantly acquitted. It is extra-
ordinary that the French Ministry should
persist in their prosecutions of the Press, consi-
dering that for one conviction there are fifty
acquittals.

There are, of course, no authentic quotations
of Funds ; but it appears that the jobbers of
TORTONI'S Coffee-house did not respect Sun-
day. The Three per Cents. were done there as
high as 751. 15c. ; from which it may be inferred
that something favourable transpired respecting
the contents of the Speech with which the KING
was to open the Chambers yesterday.

We have received Frankfort papers to the
Bth inst., extracts from which will be found in
