The consolidation of the new older of things in the
Peninsula is now in a fair way of being completed.
The prudence and firmness of MENDIZABAL have
triumphed over the formidable obstacles which were
thrown in his way by the too violent zeal of the
friends of liberty on the one hand, and the machina-
tions of the Carlists, abetted by LOUIS PHILLIPPE,
on the !other. Such, indeed, is the confidence re-
posed in this devoted friend of his country, that all
thoughts of acting in opposition to the Government
were thrown aside, from the moment it was known that
he had placed himself at the helm. If the provincial
Juntas did not immediately resign the authority which
the unfortunate :state of the nation compelled them,
to take into their hands, it was only because they
entertained well-founded suspicions of The sincerity of
the Court, and were anxious to see MENDIZABAL es-
tablished in his new and commanding position. As soon
as this all-important point was put beyond a doubt, the
fears of the liberal party were quieted, and the Juntas
sent in their adhesions to the Government of Queen
ISABELLA 11.

The march of LAS NAVAS, upon Madrid, at the
head of a considerable body of troops, occasioned
some alarm ; but this had entirely subsided, as it ap-
pears by intelligence, received to-day, that LAS
NA VA s had been induced by the representations which
General QUIROGA had made to him, to halt, and
to submit to the new Government. His hostility
was directed against the Administration of Toreno,
who had justly become very unpopular with the Liberal
party ; but after the fall of that Minister, and the ap-
pointment of MENDIZABAL to the chief place in the
QUEEN'S Councils, there could be no object in his
continuing his march to the capital, but to embarrass
a popular Administration. The troops which had
joined his standard from the division under the com-
mand of General LA TRE, had, it is reported, requested
to be sent against the Carlists.

'e have not been able to ascertain what have
been the ostensible results of the zealous labours
of the Times, Standard, Herald, and other dis-
tinguished supporters of the dominant sect, in be-
half of Bishop COVERDALE ; but we cannot doubt
that we shall be told the harvest has been sufficiently
abundant to realise the fondest expectations of these
pious labourers. The Churches all over the kingdom
will undoubtedly have been crammed to suffocation,
(and would have been still fuller had not the weather
been unpromising) ; a tolerable catalogue of accidents
will probably be got up for the occasion ; and if the
shade of MYLES COVERDALE can look down from
above, he will, to his great surprise, after a rest
of 300 years, find himself placed for some few days
longer in the distinguished position which Mr.
O'CONNELL has filled for several months ; that is to
say, he will occupy some column in the respectable
Journals which have thought proper, for their own
purposes, to resuscitate and patronise him. It is pro-
bable that the interest excited by this really worthy
person may not be quite so ephemeral, for it may
induce many who had never heard of him before, to
enquire who he was, and what are his newly-discovered
titles to a gratitude which had been allowed to lie
dormant for three centuries. In order to make these
discoveries, some study of history may be necessary,
and we should not wonder if the 4th of October had
been pretty generally spent by all who do not read the
Times and Standard (a pretty numerous class), but
who, from the common accident of going to church
on a Sunday, happened to have the benefit of a tri-
centenary sermon, in ransacking the shelves of their
libraries for some account of MYLES COVERDALE,
and thus devoting those hours which might perchance
have been spent in pious reading, to vainly exploring
the pages of HUME, GOLDSMITH, and other histo-
rians, by none of whom, strange to say, has mention
been made of the memorable event now for the first
time connected with his name.

As far as our enquiries have hitherto gone, we have
elicited nothing from the frequenters of Churches on this
eventful day, beyond a vague surprise at what could
be the object of the parson, in calling upon his con-
gregation, thus late in the day, for their special thank-
fulness for a blessing, the value of which they and
their forefathers had never thought of disputing for
300 years.
But then it came out that this said parson had
descanted with great unction upon the horrors of
Popery ; and although O'CONNELL had not been
especially mentioned, still it was evident on this occa-
sion (in spite of The Bull), that he was identified
with the Scarlet Lady.

But the cui bono of all this mummery will be pretty
evident to those who have formed a just estimate of
the amount of true religious feeling which is likely to
actuate the conductors of such eminently Christian
Journals as the Times and Standard. We regret
that any of the respectable clergy should have lent
themselves to a scheme originating in such quarters,
and having no possible object, but to excite anew those
feelings of rancour and intolerance, pressed once more
into the service of expiring Toryism, and dressed up, as
of old, in the cloak of Religion and Protestant zeal. The
Standard endeavours, in its pious exhortation of Sa-
turday last, to give some plausibility to the matter, by
assuring its readers that the translation of COVER-
DALE'S Bible was the real Reformation ; for unless it
had been translated, nobody could have read it. Now,
it is obvious that the number who could avail them-
selves at that time of this advantage was very limited,
and would have been infinitely more so, had it not been
for the discovery of the art of printing. Was not
this, then, after all, the real Reformation ? For had
the Bible, translated (?) by MYLES COVERDALE, re-
mained in the hands of the Reformed Clergy, and had
they continued to be its chief expounders, what secu-
rity have we, from the uniform purity, and political
integrity displayed by this class, through the distrac-
tions and religious animosities of the succeeding reigns,
that they would have preserved the sacred Book from
just as many interpolations, er varying constructions, to
suit their respective purposes, as have been introduced

by the Church of Rome, to promote its special ob-
jects? But the real fact is, there have been many
epochs in the history of the real Reformation, and
the last is not yet come. It will be the time when
peace and good will to all men are practised, instead
of being merely preached.
The Standard, in the exhortation to which we have
alluded, infooms us that the laws, ever since the Re-
formation, that is to say for 300 years, have been
obeyed, and the King honoured. It certainly admits
that within that time we have cut off the head of one
King, and dethroned another ; but it takes no notice
of the civil wars which accompanied these necessary
acts of justice, or of the different rebellions, some in
support of Popery, and some against it, which took
place in those and the succeeding reigns. These are
all mere trifles which could not at all have affected the
placidity of our Reformed course.
The exhortation of our Contemporary ends by some
advice to crowned heads, which, as it tells them, the
Bible is the manual of good kingly Government, we
conclude is intended to direct their attention to the
conduct of the principal rulers (whether Judges, Kings,
or Priests,) whose lives are therein recorded. The
very earliest, whose exploits are descanted upon, it
would scarcely be possible to imitate in the present
day ; and however well disposed the illustrious Grand
Master might be, if he became possessor of kingly
power, to treat his enemies as SAMUEL (by way of a
divine lesson to SAUL) treated ♦GAG, we really think
too well even of Orange ferocity to believe it would
countenance the revival of such practices ; besides,
they savour too much of Catholicism. King DAVID'S
example has always been considered encouraging, and
in many respects has not wanted imitators. King
SOLOMON has also been attempted ; but none of our
Kings have succeeded in at all approaching him, in
any thing but the number of his favourites.
As to the female Sovereigns, the list is very small,
and although the most conspicuous personage in it,
Queen JEZEBEL, has been most frequently and suc-
cessfully imitated by the Queens of Europe, we con-
fess we do not wish to propose her as a model for
our amiable Princess VICTORIA.

ANNUALS FOR 1836.

THE ORIENTAL ANNUAL.

Edward Churton

Holles-street, London.

The contents of this Annual—the first we have yet
seen—do not belie its title, for it is full to everflowing
of gorgeous descriptions ; strange and romantic ad-
ventures ; and is embellished with, not less than twenty-
two superior engravings from original designs furnished
by Daniel. Thu 3 recommended it can scarcely fail to
be a favourite with the public, especially as those long
social winter evenings are fast approaching, when a plea-
sant book over which we may wile away a few luxurious
hours, is just as indispensable to our happiness as a
warm fire-side and long flowing curtains. Those who
are fond of stirring incident, told in a lively, and some-
times in a dramatic, manner, and the majority of which
have novelty, while all have truth, to recommend them,
will read the pages of the " Oriental Annual" with
nearly as much relish as they would those of the
" Arabian Nights," or the inimitable " Tales of the
Genii." Here they will find narratives ,of the exploits
of that tremendous race of mountain robbers, who
have so long been the scourge of the imterior parts of
India, the Phansygars—a race who are as regularly
brought up to murder, as though it were the most in-
dispensable part of a virtuous education ; who plun-
der travellers upon system, and strangle them with
as much scientific skill as ever was exhibited by
the most expert Old Bailey Jack Xetch ; anec-
dotes of Bengal tigers, Ceylon elephants, and fights
between lions and buffaloes; of Indian hurricanes
by sea and land ; of Suttees, and burning alive of wives
in the same grave with their deceased husbands ; of
magnificent cities, whose very names are unknown to
the majority of English readers : and above all, of the
extraordinary native jugglers, with theqr legerdemain
feats, as astonishing as anything recordedin that delight
of our childhood, the wondrous tale of Aladdin. The
Editor of this captivating work is Mr. Ca.:tinter, a gen-
tleman who has travelled for years through the most ce-
lebrated and remote parts of India ; is familiarly ac-
quainted with the habits and peculiarities of many of
its native tribes ; and states little but what be has him-
self witnessed. Hence an air of truth and earnestness
is impressed on every page of his volume ; and, as if
these qualities were not in themselves suffi:cient recom-
mendations, the engravers have added to them by con-
tributing a series of illustrations, all of which are above
common-place, while some, in skill and.delicacy of exe-
cution, may vie with the most finished and elaborate
that ever yet graced the pages of an Annual. The
" Sketch of a Scene near the Coast of 11Ialabar," for
its impressive depth of shadow, and tie dexterous
manner in which the female groups in the foreground
are introduced, is worthy of Finden in fiis happiest
moods. The " Entrance to the Cave of Elephanta,"
which is in a somewhat similar style, 'betrays equal
judgment in handling. It is the production of Mr.
Pye, and will assuredly gain him reputatiom among the
amateurs of the Fine Arts. The Annual is splen-
didly bound ; gold-leaved, and printed in a bold and
singularly beautiful type.

ENGLISU ANNUAL.
Edward Churion, Holles-street, Lon don.

The majority of the illustrations, as well as of the
verse and prose contributions, in this Annual, are
" reprints"---as the editor himself expressly tells us in
his prefatory advertisement—" from a popular pe-
riodical." Nevertheless they will not be without inte-
rest to the reader, for the selection has been made with
much care ; while as regards the embellishments, there
is scarcely one that is not above the average merit in
the style of its execution. The view of Lowther Cas-
tle, with its waving woods and stately battlemerats, the
picturesque village church in front, just immediately
below it ; and the bold back-ground of moor and moun-
tain, is alone worth the price paid for the whole vo-
lume ; but by far, to our thinking, the most attractive
embellishments, are the portraits of our female nobility,
some of which—the Duchess of Sutherland, for in-
stance, and the Hon. Mrs. Pelham—cannot be ex-
ceeded in the graceful and refined manner of their exe-
cution. If we remember rightly, we have seen these
gems before in the Court Magazine ; they are, how-
ever, well worthy the compliment of republication. The
best tale in the volume is the " Pole," which is from
the pen of one of the most imaginative of our female
writers, Mrs. Shelley.
