LITERATURE.
EDINBURGH REVIEW. No. CLXIL
Longman, London, 1844.
In the present Number 'Of this influential Whig
oracle eceurs ah article on the subject of " Young
England," of whose principles of ac ion, the Re'":
viewer speaks in terms of very lofty disdain. This
is no more than might have been anticipated, consi-
dering that "Young England" has More than once
expressed itself in no very flattering terms as re-
spects Whiggery, and even hinted its suspicions that
it is a " worn out" creed, as much so as the ultra-
Toryism professed and acted on by Lord Eldon,
But while ridiculing the views of " Young England,"
the Reviewer is forced to confess that it is entitled to
more attention than it seems to have received, adding
that though "it is nowhere numerous, it has never-
theless had some influence on the proceedings of the
house of Commons, owing to the ability of its Mem-
bers in that House. In the House of Lords it is not
avowedly represented by Inure than one lay Peer and
a Bishop. But its influence is greater than its num-
bers, and its organization is on the whole complete,"
We are then told that it is flighty and extravagant
in its views of social and political reform—a change
usually made by those who have no more definite ob-
jection to urge against the principles of a party.
But does the charge of extravagance come with pro-
priety from an advocate of Whig policy ? Have the
Whigs never erred in this respect ? Was there no
extravagance in Lord John Russell's acknowledge-
ment of the finality of the Reform Bill, which was
like Canute's address to the billows on the sea-coast,
" Thus far shalt thou come and no further ?" Was there
no extravagance—we use the mildest term—in the
'Whigs delaying their famous, wholesale free-trade
declaration, till the moment when they were leaving
office, and the country was about to proceed to an
election ? The charge of extravagance against." Young
England" comes with a peculiar bad grace from a
Whig Reviewer, and suggests many recollections
which for the credit of his party, it were far better
were forgotten. "Early Administrations of George
the Third" is a delightful paper from the pen of Mr.
Macaulay. It is full of information, evincing an
acquaintance, not only with the history, but with
the domestic memoirs of the period, is enriched with
some graphic sketches of character, and piquant anec-
dotes, and penned in that easy, fluent, vigorous style
which we so much admired in the author's former ar-
ticles. " Recent Developments of Puseyism" is
written in a spirit decidedly inimical to that heresy,
of which the Reviewer confidently predicts the speedy
downfal, remarking, "that the very progress of high
Church principles will precipitate their doom by
rousing the human mind, after a period of temporary
delusion, to re-examine them. The present retro-
gression is but the recoil with which truth is pre-
paring herself for a more energetic spring. It is the
reflux, not of the ebbing, but of the advancing wave."
" Sir Francis Drake" is an amusing biographical
sketch of one of the ablest, and not the most scrupu-
lous, of our earlier naval adventurers. Of the few
remaining articles, the best is a scientific one " On
Thunderstorms." We quote from Mr. Macaulay's
historical essay a spirited portrait of Henry Fox, first
Lord Holland :

" There was one man whose sharp and manly logic
had often in debate been found a match for the lofty and
impassioned rhetoric of Pitt, whose talents for jobbing
were not inferior to his talents for debate, whose daunt-
less spirit shrank from no difficulty or danger, and who
was as little troubled with scruples as with fears. Henry
Fox, or nobody, could weather the storm which was
about to burst. Yet was he a person to whom the
Court, even in that extremity, was unwilling to have re-
course. He had always been regarded as a Whig of the
Whigs. He had been the friend and disciple of Wal-
pole. He had long been connected by close ties with
William Duke of Cumberland. By the Tories he was
more hated than any man living. So strong was their
aversion to him, that when, in the late reign, he at-
tempted to form a party against the Duke of Newcastle,
they had thrown all their weight into Newcastle's scale.
By the Scots, Fox was abhorred as the confidential
friend of the conqueror of Culloden. He was, on per-
sonal grounds, most obnoxious to the Princess-Mother.

For ho had, immediately after her husband's death, ad-
vised the late King to take the education of her son, the
heir-apparent, entirely out of her hands. He had re-
cently given, if possible, still deeper offence ; for he had
indulged, not without some ground, the ambitious hope,
that his beautiful sister•in-law, the Lady Sarah Lennox,
might be Queen of England. It had been observed that
the King at one time rode every morning by the grounds
of Holland House, and that on such occasions Lady
Sarah, dressed like a shepherdess at a masquerade, was
making hay close to the road, which was then separated
by no wall from the lawn. On account of the part
which Fox had taken in this singular love affair, he was
the only member of the Privy Council who was not sum-
moned to the meeting at which his Majesty announced
his intended marriage with the Princess of Mecklen-
burg. Of all the statesmen of the age, therefore, it
seemed that Fox was the last with whom Bute, the
Tory, the Scot, the favourite of the Princess-Mother,
could, under any circumstances, act. Yet to Fox Bute
was now compelled to apply.

" Fox had many noble and amiable qualities, which in
private life shone forth in full lustre, and made him dear
to his children, to his dependents, and to his friends ;
but as a public man ho had no title to esteem. In him
the vices which were common to the whole school of
Walpole appeared, not perhaps in their worst, but cer-
tainly in their most prominent form ; for his parliamen-
tary and official talents made all his faults conspicuous.
His courage, his vehement temper, his contempt for ap-
pearances, led him to display much that others, quite as
unscrupulous as himself, covered with a decent veil. Ile
was the most unpopular of the statesmen of his time, not
because he sinned more than many of them, but because
he canted less.

" He felt his unpopularity ; but he felt it after the
fashion of strong minds. He became, not cautious, but
reckless, and faced the rage of the whole nation with a
seowl of inflexible defiance. He was born with a sweet
and generous temper ; but he had been goaded and baited
into a savageness which was not natural to him, and
which amazed and shocked those who knew him best.
Such was the man to whom Bute, in extreme need, ap-
plied for succour.
" Such succour Fox was not unwilling to afford.
Though by no means of an envious temper, he had un-
doubtedly contemplated tho success and popularity of
Pitt with bitter mortification. He thought himself Pitt's
match as a debater, and Pitt's superior as a man of busi-
ness. 'They had long been regarded as well paired rivals.
They had started fair in the career of ambition. They
had long run side by side. At length Fox had taken the
lead, and Pitt had fallen behind. Then had come a
sudden turn of fortune, like that in Virgil's foot-race.
Fox had stumbled in the mire, and had not only been
defeated, but befouled. Pitt had reached the goal, and
received the prize. The emoluments of the Pay-office
might induce the defeated statesman to submit in silence
to the ascendancy of his competitor, but could not satisfy
a mind conscious of great powers, and sore from great
vexations. As soon, therefore, as a party arose adverse
to the war and to the supremacy of the great war
minister, the hopes of Fox began to revive. His feuds
with the Princess-Mother, with the Scots, with the
Tories, he was ready to forget, if by the help of his old
enemies ho could now regain the importance which he
had lost, and confront Pitt on equal terms."

THE STAR and DIAMOND STEA
BOAT COMPANIES.

On the 30th of August last we commented upon
the conduct of two magistrates of Gravesend, who,
being, as we then believed, themselves interested in
the success of the Diamond Steam-boat Company,
had adjudicated upon cases arising out of the rivalry
between that Company and the Star Company, and
had inflicted penalties upon servants of the Star pro-
prietors, for acts done to procure passengers for the
Star rather than the Diamond boats. We made our
comments in the same spirit that we have always
noticed apparent acts of oppression, either by magis-
trates in petty session, or by the highest judges of the
realm. If the imputation of private interest or per-
sonal motives ever attaches to magisterial decisions,
there is an end to all respect for the judgments and
the judges, and the duty of the public journalist is to
expose the slightest appearance of undue bias, and
prevent its recurrence. We now deem it, however,
due to Messrs. OAKES and SPENCER, the two magis-
trates alluded to in our remarks, to state that, having
since made the fullest inquiry into the real merits of
the cases upon which they adjudicated, we find that
they are not proprietors of the Diamond Company,
and we are convinced that no interested motives ope-
rated upon them, but that they discharged their duty
upon the occasion alluded to with honour and fidelity

Private letters have been received from Clausthal, a
mining town in the Hartz Forest, in Hanover, giving
afflicting accounts of a dreadful conflagration, which
broke out in that place, on the night of the 16th of last
month, and, in the short space of a few hours, destroyed
a church and several public offices, swept away 213 dwell-
ing-houses and a great number of stables and barns, and
left 3,000 of the inhabitants without a roof to shelter them
from the rigour of a northern winter, to which the town
of Claustlial, owing to its situation on the top of a
mountain, is particularly exposed. The condition to
which the unfortunate sufferers have thus been suddenly
reduced, is the more distressing, as they are most of
them poor hard-working miners, and have lost not only
their houses and the whole of their furniture and cloth-
ing, but also the provisions of food and fuel which they
had just laid in for the winter. An appeal to the com-
miseration of their countrymen, and a charitable public,
to render them timely assistance under this great cala-
mity, it is hoped, will not be in vain, and subscriptions
for that purpose will be gratefully received by the Hano-
verian Consul-General, London.
Sin WILLIAM FOLLETT.—We are gratified to be
enabled, on the information of a gentleman who returned
to this country from Naples on Saturday last, to announce
the great benefit the Attorney General has derived from
his tour in Italy. Dr. Bright has been in company with
the Hon. and Learned Gentleman as his medical adviser,
and so satisfactory is Sir William's health, that the pro-
fessional duties of Dr. Bright are now dispensed with,
and that gentleman is on his way to this country. It is
deemed necessary for the entire restoration of Sir Wil-
liam's health that he should remain some months longer
. in the genial climate of the south.

THE SURVIVING HEROES OF
TRArALGAR.

This day (Monday) being the anniverw; vi inn battie
ever-Mktiura.the one in the history of this country. The
return of th* time wh en ght October 21, 1805, is an
of Trafalgar. vsli9h rou
"Nelson's tarbo achieved a glorious day,"
is fraught with remembrances glorious and ennobling to
England and to Englishmen, but With sad tears to many
bereaved in the dread melee of partners and of children.
Yet While grief mourns over those who are departed,
what more pleasing theme, or more worthy of record,
than that which revivifies before the eye and ear the name
and fame of those who still survive to tell the triumph
they partook of. The following is a correct list up to
the present time of the officers, both in the navy and ma-
rines, yet surviving, who were present at Trafalgar, in
the order that they served there, with the name of the
vessel to each and the various promotions justly awarded
to them during the 39 years which have intervened since
that day. Death has been busy among them, and has
not spared even Nelson's Captain of the Victory—Sir
Thomas Hardy ; the oldest remaining officer of that
vessel being Mr. Pasco, who received a wound while
Lieutenant, and was made Captain in 1811.

It is a singular fact that no officer of a higher grade
than a captain now survives the action, and that not a
single officer of the Defence higher than a midshipman
is now alive ; this, of course, refers to the grade they
hold. ,

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 20.—The Firebrand, 8, steam-
frigate, Captain Corry, and the brigs forming the expe-
rimental squadron, together with the St. Vincent, 120,
the Caledonia, 120, and the Queen, 110, aro expected to
leave Spithead to-morrow, after the departure of her
Majesty and Prince Albert on their cruise of exercise
and experiment, it is reported between the coast of Por-
tugal and the Western Islands. If the Albion, 90, Com-
modore Lockyer, should be fallen in with, she will join
the squadron, the whole under the command of Rear-
Admiral W. Bowles, C. 8., who hoisted his flag (blue at
the mizen) yesterday morning on board the Caledonia,
and saluted that of Admiral Sir Charles Rowley by 15
guns, which the St. Vincent replied to by 11 guns. This
appointment, we believe, will not interfere with the re-
tention of the seat of the gallant Rear-Admiral at the
Admiralty Board. All Captains and Commanders on
the half-pay list desirous of witnessing the experimental
trial sailings may join either of the above three-deckers,
and be victualled on the ship's establishment for the
cruise (two or three months) by Admiralty order.
