KENILWORTH CASTLE

As it appeared on the occasion of Good Queen Bess's Royal Visit.
For further particulars inquire of Sir Walter Scott. It is an histori-
cal fact that Good Queen Bess paid the Earl of Leicester a visit, and
' paid the piper." This, his gorgeous fete, half ruined him ; there-
fore we pity his fate, but must admire his wondrous generosity, for
all he ever hoped for in return was—half-a-crown. The Earl fore-
stalls Shakspere, by disoovering " that the course of true love never
did run smooth," for here he meets with some twenty " competi-
tears," and to him they do come " petit oars," for they prove per-
fect bears, or, snore properly speaking, bores. A Lovers' Quarrel
en a grand scale, a sort of " tiff for the million," takes place, which,
although beginning in love, ends in war, and the total destruction of

THE DIKE OF MARLBOROUGH'S EXAMPLE.—The
Great Duko of Marlborough addresses Sidney Herbert
on his emigration scheme. To the which, he, the
mighty Duke, " declines to lend the influence of his
example." From his Grace's antecedents, nobody could
have expected him to give any thing; but it is a little
close, even for a Marlborough to refuse to " lend" a
platter of such inconceivable smallness as his Grace's
" example."—Punch.

• tion for having possessed. the courage to come forward
at once, in the light of day, for the purpose of hurling
such assertions back in the teeth of the calumniator.
The rebuttal is a logical and conclusive disproof. It
demonstrates, beyond the faintest possibility of cavil,
that instead of being the paramour of the Countess
DEMBINSKI, the injurer of her distinguished husband,
the rival of General PERCZRL as the leader of the
Magyar democracy, and the enemy of Count
BATHYANY as the chief of the Hungarian aristocracy
—Kossurs has beep, from the first moment of his
flight into Turkey, the protector of the Count and
Countess DEMBINSKI, the sworn friend of PERCZEL, and
the intimate associate of BATTBTANY. So far, more-
over, from his having selfishly striven to gratify a
lawless ambition by the seizure of the command of the
bands of the banished, it appears from the avowal of
one who accompanied the exiles from Widdin towards
Shumla, that the military chieftainship has been
all along entrusted to the hands of our
renowned fellow countryman General GUYON, while
liossura himself only receives the homage, the
respect, and the obedience spontaneously shown to-
wards him in consideration of his career and his
achievements.

After this terrible exposure of the inaccuracy of
the statements made by the foreign correspondents of
the reactionist newspapers we are sanguine that the
public journals of England will be no longer tar.
nished by the publication of similar imputations.
Our feelings as a journalist are interested in this
aspiration, seeing that occurrences such as the one we
have just particularised are in no respect calculated to
reflect honour upon the Fourth Estate. In their
public capacity, celebrated men, whether of our own
or other nations, are, of course, open to vituperation :
but the delicate details of personality should be
eschewed, and the precincts of their domestic circle
should be viewed as sacred and inviolate, guarded not
as of old by the Lares of Idolatry and
the Penates of Paganism, but by the justice of
Civilization and the truthfulness of Christianity.
Yes ! in GOD'S name let the homes of public men be
the magic circles within which the obloquies of
political animosity may not penetrate, where, as in
the days of chivalry the fugitive found
shelter in the cathedrals, they also, in the
midst of their overwhelming peril and
responsibilities, may ever find an impregnable sanc-
tuary. Let them still be open to the attacks of every
bold political assailant, but in the name of all that is
sacred and venerable, shield them from the anony-
mous assassin of every pure and lofty reputation.

The financial condition of the country at this the
commencement of a new year is worthy of attentive
consideration. At no former period was there so
large an amount of bullion stored in the coffers, but
it remains there idle and unproductive. The indus-
trious classes are not benefited by the golden mass.
There is a manifest unwillingness on the part of
capitalists to invest their wealth in undertakings
calculated to develop the national resources, and to
afford employment to the people. The country has
not yet recovered from the shock to credit that
occurred during the disastrous year 1847, and a want
of mutual confidence and general distrust is percep-
tible. The fatal Act of 1844 still exercises
a malign influence. Money, indeed, can be
obtained at an easy rate of interest by the
"favoured few," but it is as difficult of access
and scarce as ever to the multitude.
The public funds have attained high quotations
but almost every other description of security con-
tinues depreciated. The extraordinary preference
that has been exhibited for the idle moneyed interest,
the great " appreciation" in the value of money that
has taken place, have induced many to wind up their
affairs, to withdraw from trade and commerce, or
other business pursuits, and to make arrangements
for living idly upon the interest and dividends of
their realised capital. The " enterprise," for which
the merchants of England were once so remarkable,
is no longer discernible. Legitimate and well-
matured commercial adventures are regarded as rash
and gambling speculations, deserving of the utmost
censure; while "the unprofitable servant," who
buried his talent, appears to form a model
fur imitation. The desire is to maintain the
accumulation of past years unbroken, and to
relinquish any effort to increase them. Fluctuations
in the money market similar to those which have
occurred within the last few years—and which may,
and in all human probability will again take place at
no distant period, if the monetary code be maintained
in all its stringency--may defeat the most judicious
operations and accurate calculations, so that heavy
losses—even absolute ruin—may be the results of the
best devised and most auspicious projects.
How; then, will the condition of the small mer-
chant or tradesman, the skilful artisan or industrious
operative, be ameliorated by the fact that there is at
this moment no less than 17,080,642/. sterling of
bullion in the Bank vaults, or that it is nearly
half a million more than the highest sum
ever previously attained ? Or wl-at advantages will
be derived from the reserve of unemployed notes
reaching to 12,481,2201., more than three times the
amount calculated to be required by the Bank fer
carrying on its own business ? If these great re-
soirees were judiciously applied, all classes would
participate in the general prosperity ; but, unhappily,
at present they are starving in the midst of plenty.
The long expected harbour may be in sight, but they
cannot live to reach it, or to enjoy the safety and
happiness so temptingly displayed before them. The
" integrity of the standard " is preserved, the
" convertibility of the bank note " is secured, but
have not their best interests been sacrificed thereto,
and has not the nation paid the penalty
of the auri sattra fames )I—have not the greatest
misery and wretchedness been sustained by the masses
during the struggle ?

There is, we are told, every probability that the
influx of gold will still continue—that the stream
has set in steadily towards our ports—that we may
expect large remittances from Russia, from South
America, and from California. Many well-informed
persons appear to think that the greater portion of
the produce of the " diggins " will eventually be
deposited in Threadneedle-street; but what will all
this avail if the present system be maintained ?
Nothing, literally nothing. The artificial scarcity,
however, cannot long prevail. The people will not
be satisfied to suffer want in the midst of abundance.
A general demand will arise for a revision of our
monetary code, and the adoption of salutary laws,
that will afford to the nation the advantages of a cur-
rency adequate to the wants and exigencies of the
population.

i'tiE FREINCIi REPUBLIC.

We have received such of the Paris journals as
appeared yesterday. They are filled with accounts of
the receptions and merry makings on New Year's-
day.

The PRESIDENT of the Republic received, on the
occasion of the new year, the Marshals of France,
the Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honour, the
deputations of the Cour des Comtes and the different
Law Courts, the Councils of the University and the
Institute, the Prefects of the Seine and Police, the
Municipal Council, the Sub prefects and Mayors, the
deputations of the Tribunals of Commerce, the
Chamber of Notaries, and other corporate bodies,
and the officers of the army and the National Guard.
Nearly the entire of the officers of the National
Guard paid their respects to the PRESIDENNT on this
occasion. There were no speeches delivered.
The Courier Francais, which is supposed to be the
organ of M. TRIERS, urges on a war with ROSAS, and
it is whispered that such is the ill-humour of M.
THIERS at finding his plans frustrated for the restore
tion of a Monarchy, of which he should be Prime
Minister and Master, that he is actually prepared to
join any party, no matter of shat colour, which %Nil;
aid him in his endeavours to place himself at the head
of affairs. The Siecle, speaking of the recent division
on the La Plata affair, says—
" Ever) body remarked the affectation with which M.
Thicrs and several of his friends voted in favour of the
amendments which were proposed, and, amongst others,
in favour of that presented by M. Jules Fevre, while M.
Mold, M. de Malleville, and M. Odilon Barrot sys
tematically voted the other way. While M. Darn was
explaining away his previous language, M. Thiers could
not conceal his ill-humour. It was also noticed that
the Legitimatists voted different ways."
La Patrie announces that several Members of the
minority who voted on Monday against the amend
went of M. DE RANCE will demand, at the sitting
of the Assembly on Wednesday, that the ballot be
annulled.
The Assemblie National, the organ of the Priests
and the Monarchists, rails, as usual, against England
and the English.
The friends of M. LAlCkartNu will be pleased to
hear that his health is considerably improved, and
that it is expected he will take his seat in the Legis-
lative Assembly next week.
The Bourse was well attended yesterday, and a
considerable quantity of business was transacted.
The Five per Cents. opened at 92f. 55c., and closed
at 92f. 750. ; the Three per Cents., at 56f. 80c. ;

Madrid journals of the 26th ult. have arrived.
It was rumoured that Mox was about to rejoin the
Ministry as Minister of Finance.
The Pais announces that M. ZARAGOZA, the pre-
sent political chief of Madrid, would replace M.
GT.TEIPO as Under-Secretary of State of the Ministry
of the interior, in which case the post left vacant by-
M ZARAGOZA would devolve on M. ARTATA. Ac-
cording to the same journal, the provincial intendants
and political chiefs are to be suppressed after the Ist
of January, and their functions to be filled by the
governors. _

It being a holiday, the Bourse remained closed, but
,he Three per Cents. were done out of doors at 301.

GA N Y
AND
THE NORTHERN STATES,

PRUSSIA.
The report that an alliance offensive and defensive
had been concluded between Prussia, France, and
England, was circulated at Berlin on the 30. h ult.
The object of such an alliance must be to check the
ambitious advances of Russia and her satellite
Austria, in Germany and the East. That Russia
entertains the design of turning her alliance with
Austria to purposes of self aggrandisement is evident
from what is at present going on in Poland,
while the answer of the Minister of the
Red Serf of the Cams who reigns over Austria,
to the Prussian note, on the subject of the Erfurth
Parliament, proves that he also is prepared to co-ope-
rate with his master in the subjugation of Germany,
henever a favourable opportunity may offer. The
following is the substance of the Austrian rejoinder to
the Prussian note

" The Austrian Cabinet is sorry to find that its for-
mer communications, instead of producing the desired
effect upon Prussia, have elicited replies which, though
evasive, ar• still full of significance. In its former re-
monstrances the Austrian Cabinet fully stated its view
of the question, and of the consequences of the step
which Prussia was taking. Since those remonstrances
were unheeded, Austria will not condescend to wags a
war of words with the Prussian Cabinet, but, reserving
all her objections, protests, and rights till a future °ppm tu •
nity, she wi,hes it to be understood that her silence is
not to be construed into an acquiescence with the Prus-
sian project, nor into a dereliction of her rights."

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.
A letter from Vienna of the 28th ult. says that it
was positively stated that the Austrian troops had en-
tered the kingdom of Saxony, but we have no con.
firmation of this direct from Saxony. At Vienna, on
the 27th, a sentinel fired at and killed a medical stu-
dent, who had refused in insulting terms to cease
smoking his cigar, in obedience to the sentinel's
order.

The Wiener Zeitung of the 28th ult. officially
denies the assertion of the Ost Deutsche Zeitung, that
the Diet of Bohemia had been convoked without the
sanction of the Minister PIMERSDORF and his coad-
jutors, and says that the Minister gave his consent
thereunto upon the petition of the chief burghers,
and a letter from Baron Tnuat.
The new Constitution was solemnly proclaimed at
Pesth on the 26th ult.

POLAND.
The Allgemeine Zeitung publishes the following
from the Polish frontiers, dated Dec. 202
" We have received the almost incredible intelligence
from Cracow that the Austrian troops hare actually en-
tered the kingdom of Poland. A large body arrived by the
railway at Czenstcchan, where a portion of them stepped,
while the rest proceeded by the next train in the diree
tion of Warsaw. We give the intelligence as we have
received it, without vouching for its authenticity."

PERSIA.
The Journal de Constantinople of the 15th ultimo
has news of an insurrection at Ispahan. It is said
the palace of the Governer was attacked, stormed,
and the Governor and thirty of his servants put to
the sword.

TURKEY.
The Journal de Constantinople of the 15th ult. states
that an Italian corps, which had fought under the com-
mand of General BEM, have come to Adrianople,
where they met with a brilliant reception, The
son of the Pacha of ADRIANOPLE, advanced with a
Small body of troops and saluted them with all mili-
tary honours. Advancing to the city with music and
flags, the Italians were conducted to a church, where
mass was read fur the souls of the victims of the Hun-
garian war. Baron Trrorr and Count STORMER,
the Ambassadors of Russia and Austria, have entered
a protest against the Pacha's conduct.

was believed that M. Bust, late Secretary of the
Provisional Government of Tuscany, and director of
the Alba was about to return in consequence of the
amnesty._

TheGiornale di Roma of the 221 ult. states that
Count JOSEPH MArrAT, brother to tte Pore, arrived
at Cetena on the 10th, and haying had some long con-
ferences with Count ODOARDO FADDRI, Bet out again
for Sinagagli.

A letie'r‘from Rome of the 19th ult. says—" The
Commission of Cardinals issued a notification to the
effect that the Government refuses to pay to the
Roman Itink the 1,100,000 scudi which it had been
compelled to advance to the Government of the Re-
public, in consequence whereof' the bank is placed by
this act in a state of bankruptcy, the Government
having by its authority decreed the forced currency
of its notes. At the same time the Government seizes
upon all the capital in the bank. This step, which
threatens the ruin of all its shareholders, has likewise
created great alarm amo: g the small traders; bank
notes are accepted with the greatest difficulty. Loud
complaints are raised on every side, and the Govern-
ment is placed in the greatest embarrassment; it is
hoped that it will still revoke this most imprudent
and unjust measure."

MONEY and CONIME R.CIAL NEWti.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were e.ti •
mated at from 8,000 to 9.000 bales, including 4;000 taken
on speculation. and comprised 6,000 American ; 300
Pernlm and Maranham, at 64,1 to 6il; 300 Bahia, at,

4d to 4a I; and 150 Sca, ',land, at 1 id to Is 83 per lb.
The marks t was very firm, and prices of American and
Surat were l per lb dearer.—Railway Shares opened

dency. _ _

Die six weeks' average price of wheat is 39s 51 per
quarter, and the sales last week, in the towns which
make, official return 9, were 95,192 quarters, bring rather
small.

The official returns of the Board of Trade for the
mouth, and the eleven months (tiding the sth iwt%;nt,
are out ihis morning. The total value of the exports of
British and Irish produce and manufactures !rum the
United Kingdom stands as follows:

1848. 1849.
Month to Dec. 5 ....... £ 4,316.168 I ..£4 691,161
11 months, „ 5
This girt s an increase therefore of 374,9931. on the
month, and no less than 9,681,897/ on the year. The
amount of colt, n manufactures increased from
13,989 8441. to 17,082,0651, of linen manufactures
from 2,289,6211. to 2,851,247/ ; of woollen mane.
factures, mitt red by the piece, from 3 214,504/.
to 4,188.845/, and of those by the yard, fr, m
1,662,2451. to 2,153,7771. Metals, on the whole, show an
increase, but not nearly so marked as that in textile
goody. The exports of hardware and cutlery were
larger, and in glass there way a slight increase. A large
quantity of silk manufactures was shipped.
In the exports of foreign and colonial merchan-
dize for the United Kingdom, we find an increase
in the quantity of coffee from 23,241.1931b5. to
33,992,1681b5., a decrease in cotton yarn, at.
increase in flint cut-glass, and a decrease in white
flint glass, and a great augmentation in rice, silk
manufactures, spirits, foreign sugar, tea, tobacco and
colt n, and cheeps' wool. Upon ail these foreign pro-
ducts, although merely sent here in transitu, or kept in
bond until a demand arises for it on the continent, the
British merchant naturally gets his profit, and the ship-
owner his freight, and this is due to the facilities afforded
by free trade. . _

The imports into the United Kingdom for the eleven
months show an increase in coffee, corn, flax, silk manu-
factures, raw sugar, brandy, tallow, tea, and sheeps'
wool. In rum and tobacco there was a falling off, and
no great increase in wine.

With regard to the shipping employed in the foreigi
trade, it stocd thus :

Theee are gratifying figures, but in connexion with
the coasting trade there is a slight falling off, owing, no
doubt, to railway competition.
The half-yearly meeting of the South Sea Company
took place this day, for the delaration of the usual divi-
dend of 14 per cent. on the company's stock, for the
half-year • nding the sth instant.
In the Amsterdam Bourse, on the lit, not much busi-
ness was done, but prices were firm. Dutch Two-and•
a-Half per Cents. were 53 5-16. Peruvian rose I per
cent. at Frankfurt on the 29th. Austrian Bonds were
86k, and at Vienna, en the 28th, 95k.
The purchase of a large sum in Long Annuities, made
just before the close of business yesterday afternoon, has
given a tone to the Consol market under the impression
that the sellers of the Annuities will hare to re-invest in
stock. The broker who bought being of influence, viz
Mr. Mullens, also has its effect, and an extensive spccu•
lator for the rise who was preciously disposed to realise
some of his profit is now holding tack. Consols have
been 964 and New Three-and a Quarter per Can's.
981 Bank Stock is supported at 2031 to 2041. Ex-
chequer-bills have been 58s. to 61a. premium. Long ,
Annuities are 8 9-16.

The Foreign Market has been more buoyant. SpaniNh
Three per Cents. Lave been about 371 to 4, and Portu-
guese Four per Cents. 364 to 37. Mf-xican Bonds have
been done at 29k, and Peruvian have risen to 60 and 61k.
Danish Five per Cents. are at par.
There has been more business done in the Railway
Share Market, and advanced prices have been obtained
for Caledonian, Eastern Counties, Great Western, North-
Western, and South-Eastern. North Stafford are dull,
the month's receipts being low. French shares are
nearly all better._
