THE NAUTICAL.

Besides an excellent paper on the " Proposed Mea-
sures for the Relief of the Mercantile Marine," the
Nautical Magazine contains some most interesting
contributions having reference to the missing Arctic
expedition. One of these articles is an " Outline of
the Recent Voyage of her Majesty's ships Enterprize
and Investigator to Barrow Strait in search of Sir
John Franklin." Another relates to the projected
movements in the same direction for supplying relief to
the missing navigators ; and a third has allusion, in a
paragraph copied from the Literary Gazette, to the
late yacht voyage into the northern seas.

MISCELLANEOUS.

The most interesting article in the Anglo-Saxon is
a review of the literary compositions of Alfred the
Great. The following sentence which occurs in his
writings was literally fulfilled by the good King :
"This I csn most truly say, that I have desired to live
worthily while I lived, and after my life to leave to
the men that should he after me my remembrance in
good works." In his preface to his translation of
" Gregory's Pastoral Care," Alfred has left this testi•
mony to the illiterate state of his subjects, more es-
pecially in the south :—" There have been very few on
this side of the Humber who were able to understand
the English of their service, or to turn an epistle out
of Lati❑ into English ; and I know there were not
, many beyond the 1111 robe; who could do it. Where

GERMANY.

Letters from Berlin announce that the opening of
the Erfurth Parliament i 3 positively fixed for the 20th
March.

The Chamber of the Grand Duchy of Luxem-
bourg came to a vote on the German question on- the
Ist inst. It has acceded ad interim on tw•o condi-
tions ; the first, according to article 1 of the consti-
tution, that the independence and inviolability of the
Grand Duchy FILIII not he questioned by it—and,
secondly, that neither the complete constitution of the
country, nor any part of that constitution, shall ever
be changed, suspended, or arbitrarily abolished by the
Federal Commission.

The resolution met with opposition from eleven of
the members, mostly deputies from parts of the coun-
try where the German question is not approved, and
which still has a certain leaning to lielgium.
London, England, 1850-03-08

GERMANY.

A telegraphic dispatch from Berlin of the sth inst.
mentions certain rumours of an unexpected delay
which, it was believed, was impending on the convo-
cation of the Erfurt Parliament. The correspond-
ant of the Kolner Zeitung asserts that these rumours
are devoid of foundation, and that the Parliament is
to meet on the day appointed, viz., on the 20th
March. The draught of the Message to that Parlia-
ment has been confirmed.
The Allgerneine Zeitung has letters from Munich
of the 2d instant, stating that the conferences of
Munich have at length led to the conclusion of a
treaty between the Kings of Saxony, Bavaria,
and Wurtsmberg. This treaty is intended summa-
rily to dispose of the affairs of Germany. It was
signed on the 27th of February. II mover has not
as yet consented to join the three other king-
doms on account of certain differences of opinion
between Hanover and Austria on the subject of the
propositions respecting the German Constitution, on
which" Austria, Bavaria, and Wurtemberg are
already agreed. Mr. Starve, the Hanoverian
Premier, withholds his sanction from the Austro-
Bavarian scheme, on account of its want of
guarantees for its future stability. He objects to
it because Austria will not consent to a state
chamber, or to a twofold representation of
the Governments. Austria in her turn
stands up for a single chamber to represent the in-
terests of Germany. She offers to make the greatest
sacrifices, and proposes to join the Confederation with
all her provinces, with the exception of those of Italy.
She demands a Diet of 300 members, in which she
proposes to represent the 33,000,000 of Austrians by
100 members, the 16,000,000 of Prussians by another
100 ; and t4se 17,000,000 of inhabitants of smaller
states by the third hundred. In the Directory of
seven votes, Austria claim; but a single vote.
The Bre3law Gazette says that the Countess Casi-
mir Batthyany, who accompanied her husband on
horseback during the whole Hungarian war, and
afterwards followed him into exile, has just had con-
fiscated her family jewels, estimated at 80,000 florins.
They had been buried in a secret place known only to
a domestic ; this man having fallen dangerously 111,
communicated the secret to a priest, and the priest
made it known to the military authorities, who im-
mediately seized the je:;•els.

EXPORTS.

This marketcontinues in an exceedingly healthy posi-
tion, although operations in it have not beenhow quite so
extensive as when we last reported. T
been caused loss by the want of inquiry than however, has
the
absence of adequate supplies of produce at market.

the
market at present is more dependent upon the state of
supplies. The general features of the market remain
unaltered; a goad and general demand, moderate sup-
plies and stce.dy prices.
Indigo—The firm tone of this market was beginning
to give way when the mail of the 24th of Nov. came to
hand; since then an active business has been done, and
the little ground that was lost is fully recovered, and the
tone of the market is as firm as ever. Near a lac of
Inds. must have changed handf, and it is more than pro-
bable that little change will mark transactions during
the remainder of the season. France has done a good
business sad exports to ill:A country amount to 27,000
mds. For North America, Bombay, and the Gulf, a
very limited business has been done, nor can wo expect
much help to the market fur any of those places.
IMPORTS.

The last fortnight shows a decided improvement in
the position of this branch of our trade; and operations,
although not very heavy, aro 3et on a more liberal scale,
and, in some instances, at better prices. Generally
speaking, however, the market is not charactised by
much animation, and there is much room for improve-
ment.

SHARPE'S.

The "Diary of Mary Powell" being concluded, its
author is writing in the pages of Sharpe "Deborah's
Diary," the supposed composition of one of Milton's
daughters, hence a half-continuation of the beautiful
journal of Milton's wife. "Music in its Relation to
Religion," being the substance of a lecture by Dr.
Cumming, and several other interesting articles, be-
sides the continuation of the serial tale by the author
of " Frank Fairlegh," are to be found in Sharpe for
March. The re-publication of " Frank Fairlegh" in
a serial form has reached the 14th number.

LEILA. Part 111. By Sir E. B. Lytton

In the March instalment of this excellent re-publi-
cation of Sir Bulwer Lytton's charming romance of
the Siege of Granada, the narrative proceeds as far
as the reconciliation established between the Moorish
people and their King Buabdil. The engravings,
copied from original sketches by Meadows and Ste-
phanoff, are of the customary merit, representing in
one "The Favourite Slave," and iu the other " The►
Admonition."

THE HISTORY OF P.END.ENNIS. By W.

M. Thacheray. -Vo. XIV.
We are in this number re-introduced to Costigan,
and alao to Colonel Aitamont and to the Chevalier
Smith. The author elaborates the characters of these
two last gentlemen, whom he evidently intends to
make of some importance in working out the denoue-
ment of his plot. The Colonel, for some hitherto
unexplained cause, exercises an irresistible influence
over Sir Francis Clavering, who eeems fast hurrying
to ruin, while the Begun), his wife, makes Major
Pendennis the confidant of her troubles past and
present.

AINSWORTH'S.

Some interesting reflections suggested by " The
Last Moments of Falstaff" form an agreeable variety
to the contents of Ainsworth's Magazine, which for
the most part resemble too nearly the sentimental
character of George Sand's compositions, one of
which, "The Countess o Rudeistadt," continues from
month to month to form part of Ainsworth's. There
is little amusement, and less benefit, to be derived
from a perusal of such records of exaggerated senti-
ment and unnatural passion, and we are, therefore,
glad to turn from " Valdarno," and " Consuelo," to
contemplate " the last moments of Falstaff." " Who
doubts," says the writer of this article, " whether
Shakespere felt strongly, deeply F Schiller tells us he
doubted. it once, but he lived to review and rescind
such criticism. The sonnets, so rarely studied of our
greatest poet, would surely convert the most dogged
sceptic in this matter :—passion, tenderness, enthu-
in their intensest form, burst forth therein
r. ith en energy which the concentrated weepings and
wailing's of all our storm and power-men' have
never equalled. But for ourselves we are content to
abide by Mrs. Quickly's tale of the death of Falstaff
as an all-sufficient proof of the warm•heartedness
and poignant feeling of William Shakspere. And
hard it were, we repeat, to make ui believe that he
had dry eyes when he committed those words to
paper, and bide farewell, a long farewell to so much
• greatness.' " The concluding sentence of this paper
is eminently truthful:—
" bhakspere is the profoundest, but the least obtrusive
of moralists. His morals era interwoven with his cha-
racter,., infus,4l into the living presences of his dramatis
persona, not framed and glaz.d into a formal appendix
or addendum, fated to be skipped by every ninety-nine
readers in a hundred. In this manner he allures to
goodness, and not to what Coletit!ge rptly calls goody-
ness. lle eriild 6,e a moral even in • Poor Jack' as
ho bade hire farewell—and the same is possible fur us as
we do likewis,.."

CAPTAIN AUSTIN'S ARCTIC EXPEDITION.

One corporal and one bombardier of the Royal
Marine Artillery from Portsmouth, and two ser-
geants, two corporals, and 20 privates of the Wool-
wich division of Royal Marines, embarked to-day at
Woolwich Dockyard on board the Salsette receiving-
ship for service in the vessels appointed to form the
North-West Arctic Expedition. U pwards of 50 men
volunteered for 'he service from the Woolwich divi-
sion of Royal M ►rines, and consequently there were
groat facilities for selecting the best and most healthy
for this undertaking.
London, England, 1850-03-08

PORTUGAL.

Advices have been received from Lisbon to the Ist
of March. _ _

Tne Royal Family and the Prince and Princess of
Joinville continued at Mafra.

The Co-tint of Thomar had laid before the House of
Deputies his annual report of the Home Department,
and presented twelve new projects of law relating to
reforms in the internal administration, division cf
territory, recruitments, mines, statistics, &c.
The House had passed the Bill for confirming the
privileges of the Bank of Portugal ; the principal
modifications which it makes in the original Bank
decree are the reduction of the capital from 11,000
to 8,000 contos, with power to reduce it to 5,000
contos, or 1,125,0001., when the old notes of the
Lisbon Bank and the Confianca Company shall
have been paid off. The privilege of issu-
ing notes as a circulating medium is re-
stricted to the district of Lisbon, but the Bank
is empowered to establish branch agencies in different
parts of the country. The concessions granted by
the old Bank Charter of 7th June, 1824, are again
revived, and it is specially stated in the Bth article,
" That the Bank may negotiate and discount bills and
all other papers of credit used in commerce, which
bear the number and quality of signatures required
by its statutes, and that the effects of all drawers,
acceptors, endorsers, and guarantees, shall be consi-•
dered as tacitly and legally hypothecated for its pay-
ment without the necessity of registration."
A project of law, presented by the Deputy M.
Francisco Antonio da Fouseea, for taking off all duties
upon the export of grain and relieving the vessels
from tonnage dues, was likely to be adopted by the
Government.

The Committee of Deputies had formed, upon
the government project, a complete code for the
represssion of abuses of the press. It retains the
trial by jury composed of citizens eligible
to be elected membeas of the House of Deputies,
but proposes the establishment of an exceptional
court of appeal, composed of three members chosen by
the House of Peers, and three by the Deputies, under
the presidency of the President of the Supreme Tri
bunal of Justice, which would naturally feel itself un-
justly slighted by such a transfer of part of its
functions to a political tribunal subservient to the
Government, which will name the Judges through
the Cortes.
There was some talk in Lisbon of referring the
American claims upon the Portuguese Government to
arbitration.

THE COLONIAL.

Among all the contributions to the March number
of this periodical, those most entitled to a careftil and
reflective perusal are, first, the papers on " Popular
Views of Emigration," and secondly, a careful digest
of the new Australian Constitution.

f ack shortly before Fire o'clock.

. THE CASE OF THE REV. MR. DOBBIN.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said he had re.

ceived a letter from the Rev. Mr. Dobbin, stating that
the letter which he had recently read to their Lord-
ships was a forgery. The Rev. Gentleman did not,
however, deny that he was the writer of the first letter
which he had read to their Lordships, calling upon
him to substantiate the statements he had made in his
place in their Lordships' House.

of interest except to the parties concerned.

Immediately the collection of paintings at the
Vernon Gallery has been exhausted as a means of
affording subjects for the engraver, the subscribers to
the Art-Journal will have reason to regret that cir-
cumstance. The illustrations to the March number
taken from that noble gift to the nation are Pickers-
gill's " Syrian Maid," Mulready's inimitable " Last
In " and Turner's " Grand Canal—Venice." In
addition to these brilliant attractions we must also
particularise Mrs. S. C. Hall's " Pilgrimage to the
tomb of William Penn." The remainder of the con-
tributions Are as usual, commendable.

Tho most interesting article in tLe Anglo-Saxon is
a review of the literary compositions of Alfred the
Great. The following sentence which occurs in his
writings was literally fulfilled by the good King :
" This lean most truly say, that I have desired to live
worthily while I lived, and after my life to leave to
the men that should be after me my remembrance in
good works." In his preface to his translation of
" Gregory's Pastoral Care," Alfi•ed has left this testi-
mony to the illiterate state of his subjects, more es-
pecially in the south There have been very few on
this side of the Humber who were able to understand
the English of their service, or to turn an epistle out
of Latin into English ; and I know there were not
many beyond the Humber who could do it. There

all the High Sheriffs of England for the year 1850.
The opening paper, " Calverley of Calverley," is a
history of the career of the unfortunate Walter Cal-
verley who, on the sth August, 1604, underwent the
peine forte et dure, and was pressed to death at York
for refusing to plead to an indictment charging him
with the murder of his own children. This biography
possesses all the charms of a romance. We have also a
curious report of the trial of Haagen Swendsen, Sarah
Baynter, and others on the 25th November, 1702, in
the Court of Queen's Bench, before Chief Justice bolt,
for the abduction of Mistress Pleasant Rawlins, be-

EXPORTS.

This marketcontinues in an exceedingly healthy posi-
tion, although operations in it have not been quite so
extensive as when we last reported. This, however, has
been caused less by the want of inquiry than from the
absence of adequate supplies of produce at market.
Freight; have gone further down; but we do uct antici•
pate any increased business on that account as the
market at present is more dependent upon the state of
supplies. The general features of the market remain
unsl:ered; a good and general demand, mcderate sup-
plies and steady prices.

The last fortnight shows a decided improvement in

although not very heavy, are yet on a more liberal scale,

speaking, however, the market is not charactisei by
much animation, and there is much room for improve-
ment.

Oar t larket to-day was tolerably well, but not to ray
heavily, supplied with Beasts as to number. Their
general q uality proved inferior. The attendance of both
town and country buyers being limited, the Beef trade
was exoet dingly bevy, at prices barely equal to thou

obtained on Monday, the highest figure for the best
Scots beings 33. Bd. per Sibs., and a total clearance was
not effected. The numbers of Sheep were tolerably
good, while the Mutton trade ruled inactive, at the late
decline in value. The primest old Downs, in the wool,
were selling at 4s. 2J, to 4d. per 81bs. Prime small
Lambs moved off :steadily, at from se. Bd. to 6s. per
Blbs.; otherwise, the Lamb trade was heavy. From the
Isle of Wight, 25 Lambs and 30 Sheep came to hand.

off slowly, at late rates. In Pigs very little business
was transacted. Mitch Cows were dull, at from 141. to

GERMANY.

Letters from Berlin announce that the opening of
the Erfurth Parliament is positively fixed for the 20th
March.

The Chamber cf the Grand Duchy of Luxem-
bourg came to a vote on the German question on tho
Ist inst. It has acceded ad interim on two condi-
tions ; the first, according to article 1 of the consti-
tution, that the independence and inviolability of the
Grand Duchy shall not be questioned by it—and,
secondly, that neither the complete constitution of the
country, nor any part of that constitution, shall ever
be changed, suspended, or arbitrarily abolished by the
Federal Commission.

The resolution met with opposition from eleven of
the members, mostly deputies from parts of the coun-
try where the German question is not approved, and
hick still has a certain leaning to liolgium.

AINSWORTH'S.

Some interesting reflections suggested by "The
Last Moments of Falstaff" form an agreeable variety
to the contents of Ainsworth's Magazine, which for
the most part resemble too nearly the sentimental
character of George Sand's compositions, one of
which, "The Countess of Rudelstadt," continues from
month to month to form part of Ainsworth s. There
is little amusement, and less benefit, to be derived
from a perusal of such records of exaggerated senti-
ment and unnatural passion, and we are, therefore,
glad to turn from " Valdarno," and " Consuelo," to
contemplate " the last moments of Falstaff." " Who
doubts," says the writer of this article, " whether
Shakespere felt strongly, deeply ? Schiller tells us he
doubted it once, but he lived to review and rescind
such criticism. The sonnets, so rarely studied of our
greatest poet, would surely convert the most dogged
sceptic in this matter :—passion, tenderness, enthu-
siasm, in their intensest form, burst forth therein
with an energy which the concentrated weepings and
wailings of all our storm and power-men' have
never equalled. But for ourselves we are content to
abide by Mrs. Quickly's tale of the death of Falstaff
as an all-sufficient proof of the warm-heartedness
and poignant feeling of William Shakspere. And
hard it were, we repeat, to make us believe that he
had dry eyes when he committed those words to
paper, and bade farewell, a long farewell to so much
• greatness.' " The concluding sentence of this paper
is eminently truthful:—
"Shakspere is the profoundest, but the least obtrusive
of moralists. His morals are interwoven with his cha-
racters, infused into the living presences of his dramatis
persona, not framed and glazed into a formal appendix
or addendum, fated to be skipped by every ninety-nine
readers in a hundred. In this manner ho allures to
goodness, and not to what Coleridge aptly calls goody-
ness. He could see a moral even in Poor Jack' as
he bade him farewell—and the same is possible for us as
we do likewise."

THE DIORAMA.

Yesterday we had the gratification of attending a
private exhibition at the Diorama, in Regent's-park,
and to-day the two pictures there on view will be opened
to public examination. OF the second, excellent as it
is, we shall say nothing whatever, seeing that we re-
member some years ago the very same production—
the " Shrine of the Nativity at Bethlehem," painted
by the late M. R'noux from a sketch made on the
spot by David Roberts, Esq., R.A.—exhibited in this
very same establishment. The other work of art now
to be seen at the Diorama is deserving of some
further notice from its novelty. It represents the
Castle of Stolzenfels on the Rhine, a romantic and
beautiful locality, where, in 1845, her Majesty Queen
Victoria was royally entertained by Frederick Wil.
Liam the King of Prussia, on the occasion of her Ma-
jesty's journey to Saxe-Cobourg. Tne whole expanse
of the landscape, including the castle, the environs of
Stolzenfels, and the blue and winding Rhine, is very
felicitously pourtrayed: animation being imparted to
the view by the charming natural effects of light and
shade produced by the setting of the sun and the
[ coming on of a storm of rain, thunder, and lightning.
After the sun has sunk below the horizon it appeared
to us, however, that the effect was somewhat marred
by the strange green hue of the heavens. Neverthe-
less, altogether, the painting as a whole, which is the
[ production of Nicholas_ Meister of Cologne, is ex-
ceedingly clever, and by no means unworthy of ad-
vanciog the credit of the Diorama.
