LONDON,
TIIFRSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 1, 1829.

The Paris PapeFa of Monday, and those of
Tuesday, have been received,- but they do pot
yet relieve public anxiety about the great ques-
ion of the fate of Constantinople. The Allge-
nzeine Zeituv pf the 25th contains a letter
from Pera, giving a co-afas44 Account of the
confused state of affairs in Constantinople on tha
tith pf September ; but it does not furnish any
thing really peg-. One report succeeded
Another from the army and the Co4linissioners,
in such a manner that it was difficult to see day-
light through the gloom of uncertainty in which
things were involved. General DIEBITscH

said to have marched nearer the capital, in order
to be at hand, should the SULTAN not accept
his terms by the day specified—the 13th of
September.
The terms said to have been submitted for the
SULTAN'S approval and reception will be found
under the " Express from Paris." The follow-
ihg from our Paris Correspondent will be read
with interest : •

" PARIS, SEPT. 29.

" The latest accounts which have reached
Paris this morning, from the scene of operations
in the East, are from Constantinople to the sth,
and from Adrianople to the 9th instant. It ap-
pears that between these two cities a constant
interchange of couriers is maintained. The con-
ferences between the Russian Plenipotentiaries
and the Commissioners of the Porte were opened
on the Ist, but were again suspended on the 3d
instant, in consequence of a declaration on the
part of the Turks, that one of the conditions
exacted by Russia must first be transmitted to
Constantinople. It is believed that the point in
.dispute relates to the expences of the war, the
indemnity demanded being 25,000,000 of rubles,
or about 4,000,0001. sterling. Anapa, Poti,
and Akhalzick, are to be delivered up to the
Russians ; but no concession of territory is to
be made to them in Europe. General Die-
bitsch consehted to the delay, on condition that
an answer should be given within ten days, and
that peace should he definitely signed by the 14th
at the latest. It is understood that the Russian
Commander was to remain at Adrianople till the
13th, but that, if on the 14th the acquiescence
of the Sultan was not communicated, the army
would forthwith be put in motion. It is added,
that great military stores were collecting at
Adrianople for the Russians.
" An idea seems to prevail, that since the ac-
cession of the Sultan to the pacification of
Greece, and the commencement of conciliatory
arrangements with Russia, the Divan affects to
make a mystery of the conditions exacted by
the invaders, and has in other respects mani-
fested its distrust of the Foreign Ambassadors.
The Sultan himself never leaves his camp at
Ramis-Tchifflick, where it is said that he de-
votes his whole attention to the vital object of
securing the internal tranquillity of the empire.
One of the most important nominations he has
hitherto made, is that of the Seraskier Chosrew
Pacha to the office of Inspector-General of the
Interior—the Seraskier being distinguished for
a decided predilection in favour of the new in-
stitutions.

It is said that the conditions required by
Russia are founded on the letter addressed by
Count Nesselrode to the Grand Vizier at the
opening of the campaign, and Fo decidedly was
it the opinion of the diplomatic body that peace
was about to be re-established, that General
Muffling, the Prussian Ambassador, had ac-
tually embarked for Genoa, considering the ob-
ject of his mission as accomplished.
" In the capital itself tranquillity continued to
be maintained, although the advanced posts of
the Russians are at Czurli, within 15 leagues of
the walls of Constantinople. The inhabitants
seem to rely on the speedy conclusion of peace ;
but although 1:o apprehension is entertained of
the recommencement of hostilities before the ra-
tification of the treaty, yet the fortifications at
Ejub continue to proceed under the direction of
an English engineer. The inhabitants are di-
rected not to quit their arms ; for the immediate
purpose of keeping in awe the disturbers of the
public peace, and also, if necessary, to defend
the capital to the last extremity. The direct
communications between Constantinople and
Vienna are resumed, and the next regular post
will bring intelligence up to the 10th instant.

" The last letters from Greece announce that
the National Assembly had dissolved itself, after
conferring the office of Dictator on Count Capo
d'lstria, till the convocation of another Assembly.
" The King of Prussia has certainly resolved
on visiting Brussels by the beginning of next
month. Apartments have been prepared for him
in the Palace of Lacken, the ordinary residence
of the Royal Family of the Netherlands. It is
believed that his Prussian Majesty will be accom-
panied by two of his sons, and that after a short
stay at Brussels he will proceed to Paris.
" As the following article, which appeared in
the Augsburg Gazette of the 244th instant, has
been the subject of general conversation in Paris
this morning, I take the liberty of subjoining it,
in the belief that you will think it worthy of a
place in your Paper. Its title is—

" TILE EVENTS OF TILE EAST REQUIRE A NEW CONGRESS.

" Several articles have appeared in the Augsburg Ga-
" zette and in the Journal des Debats, for the purpose
" of showing that the diplomatists of Europe have been
6' altogether mistaken as to the means of preserving peace.
" The event has proved the truth of these predictions, and
" every thing seems to announce, that in spite of the
" wishes of the European Cabinets the Turkish empire
" is near its end. However moderate the Emperor
" Nicholas may be supposed to be, the Ottoman colossus
" is wounded to death. It may, perhaps, drag on its
"6 existence for a few years longer, but its fall is certain.
" The foundations of the edifice are undermined, and those
" who wish to support it have accelerated its destruction.
" Only one method remained of saving the Pot te, and
" that was to threaten it with the vengeance of all the
" great Powers. That measure, which should have been
" suggested by past experience, has been overlooked. We
" contented ourselves with advice and entreaty, which, as
" might have been foreseen, have had no good effects.
" If England and France had sent their fleets into the
" Archipelago with orders to apt in favour of the Turks,
" on their consenting to treat on reasonable conditions,
" but in case of refusal, to threaten them with a junction
" with Russia, it is evident that the attitude of an armed
" mediation must have led to peace, and the Turkish em-
t' pipe would have been saved.
The return of the Ambassadors to Constantinople, far
"‘ from enlightening the Sultan as to his eritical situation,
" only served to increase his blindness and his pridc.• lie
" thought himself supported by the two Powers who sent
" hint their Ambassadorswithout conditions. The latter
" having received no orders to threaten him, were only
‘• an obstacle to the peace which was so much desired.
" Never have European politicians shown so much want
" of foresight and ability as on this important occasion.
If those who govern had taken the trouble to consult
ri their dragornans—if they had deigned to take the advice
gg of titoi•.-; who live in Constantinople—or if they bad
" even believed the reports kf their own Ambassadors,
" peace would long ago have been concluded ; hut it ma
" decreed that the Ottoman empire should fall, and to
" prove to the world the short-sightedness of diplomacy;
" it has been determined by Providence that this important
event should tyke place at the very moment when all
" were anxious to PrPserYe the integrity of the Turkish
" empire.
I " Whatever the peace may be which the Emperor

41 Nicholas may consent to make, the Turkish Empire is
" wounded to death, and we are about to prove it.
" The strength of the Turks arises from their religious
" fanaticism, their enthusiasm, and the convictimi of the
" people that they are as far above the Christians as raan
" is above the brutes.

" All these illusions have been destroyed, as if by en-
" chantment. The Turks will fight no more; the stan-
" dard of Mehomet will no longer excite either courage or
" fanaticism. This is fixedly the fact, that the Christians
" are now above them : they submit without a struggle ;
" they implore the protection of the Russians, whom they
" detest ; and the second city of the empire opens its
" gates to the conqueror. Every thing which contributes
" to the moral force of the Turks is at once destroyed.
" Let us new admit that the Emperor Nicholas is to
" place Lis glory in moderation. Let us suppose that this
" Monarch, willing to astonish his detractors by his mag-
" nanimity, consents to treat on the basis which he first
" laid down—indemnity and the free passage of the Dar-
" danelles. Certainly no power could complain of these
" conditions ; yet the generous Monarch who grants this
" moderate peace will have the right to exact securities.
" He will say, then, Ist, I shall occupy such and such
" towns and fortresses as a guarantee for the payment of
" the fixed indemnity ; 2d, I shall demolish the Castles of
" the Dardanelles, or I shall insist on their being occupied
" by foreign garrisons, or I shall take such other measures
" as will at all times insure free passage to all the nations
" of Europe.
" Let us then ask what becomes of the Ottoman Em-
" pire after the acceptance of these moderate conditions ?
" Till all has been paid it is no more, in fact, than a ♦as-
" sal of Rusia, and the slightest failure in the execution
" of the stipulated conditions gives the conqueror the right
"of mastery. Let us admit, however, on the oue hand,
" the most scrupulous punctuality in the fulfilment of the
" conditions ; and, on the other, the greatest possible
" moderation on the part of the Russian army during
" their temporary occupation of the Turkish territory : it
" will nevertheless be true-Ist. That during five, six, or
" ten years, the greatest part of the Turkish revenues will
" pass into the hands of the Russians. 2d. That during
" this period the Turks will lose more and more of their
" pride, courage, and fanaticism ; and that the discipline,
" firmness, and energy of the Russians, will destroy what
" remains of the Mussulman strength. 3d. That the resi-
" dense of so many Russian Officers and engineers in the
" Russian territory will facilitate the means of future in-
" vasion. Every thing, in fact, announces, that if con-
" quest is for a time to be retarded under the reign of a
" Prince so just and so moderate as the Emperor Nicholas,
" it will become so much the more certain after a delay of
" twenty or thirty years.
" Is it not time, then, for Europe to disabuse itself of
" the antiquated prejudice that the existence of the Otto-
" man Empire is necessary to the world ? Do not time
" facts which have succeeded each other in spite of the
" will of the Cabinets of Europe sufficiently prove that this
" superannuated policy should now be abandoned? And
" is it not the interest of all the great Powers to apply
" themselves immediately to the consideration of the sub-
" jest, and to prepare in time fur the expulsion of the
" Turks from Europe before their empire becomes a mere
" province of Russia?
" Let the Great Powers, then, hasten to form a Con-
" gress to decide on the fate of the Ottoman Empire : let
" them determine that the Turks shall be sent into Asia ;'
" that the entire independence of Greece be established
" within convenient limits ; and that a new Christian
" State be formed in place of the Turkish Government;
" inferring no change but the substitution of a civilized for
" a barbarous people—for the Mussulmans, governed by
" a Christian Monarch, would soon become civilized.
" If the Ministers who are at the bead of the affairs of
" Europe know how to address themselves to this great
" question, while there is yet time, they will deserve well
" of religion, and humanity, and they will prevent, for
" the future, an otherwise inevitable concussion."

The Prussian State Gazette of the 24th
September, contains long details from the St.
Petersburgh Journals, which confirm the fact
that the Turks had sent Commissioners to the
Russian head-quarters en the 28th of August.
The extracts are so long that we have not
space for comment :

CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 5.

General Muffling is about to leave this city and
return home. He has received from all quarters
proofs of the highest regard. An unprecedented
circumstance is, that the Sultan, in order to see
him, received him in a private audience at which
only the interpreter of the Prussian Legation was
present.

The capital enjoys the most perfect tranquillity
since the authorities have succeeded in suppressing
in its birth a rising of the adherents of the Ja-
nissaries.

BERLIN, SEPT. 24.
An Extraordinary Supplement to the St. Peters-
burgh Gazette of the I4th Sept. contains the fol-
lowing news :
The Commander-in-Chief of the second Army
reports to his Majesty that after the occupation of
the port of Incada (Ainada), on the Bth (20th),
Admiral Greig sent on the same day Major Kramer,
of the Kamtschatka Regiment of Infantry, to de-
stroy the cannon foundry at Samoskow, which or-
der the Major successfully executed on the 22d, and
returned to Ainada. On the same day the inha-
bitants of the town of Demotiko sent a deputation
to the Commander-in-Chief declaring they were
ready to lay down their arms, and give up the
town, with the three brass guns in it, to our troops.
Count Diebitsch accordingly sent Col. Charnuton,
with a detachment of Hulans, to occupy the town,
which he did without any difficulty.

On the 16th (28th) August, the Deffedar Mehmed
Zadick Effendi and Abul Kadir Bey, who bear the
title of Kariasker of Anatolico, arrived from Con-
stantinople at the head-quarters of the army. These
great officers were dispatched by the Sultan himself,
and furnished with his full powers to enter into ne-
gociations for the conclusion of peace. In their in-
terview with the General-in-Chief, they gave the
most solemn assurances that the Porte was truly de-
sirous of putting an end to hostilities, and declared,
at the same time, that it would acknowledge with
entire and just gratitude, the magnanimity and gene-
rous regard of his Majesty the Emperor. Count
Pahlen and General Count Orloff, who, with the
General-in-Chief, are appointed plenipotentiaries of
the Emperor, have reached Bourgas, but have riot
yet arrived at head-quarters. Meantime, Count
Diebitscli has commissioned Major-General Prince
Gortchosky and Counsellor Fenton for the arrange-
ment of the preliminaries, which they were to set
about on the 30th August. The same Gazette
gives the General's detailed report of the taking of
Adrianople (as already inserted in the State Gazette).
He adds that the Russians afterwards found three
horse-tails, and two iron cannon of large size, which
being too heavy to be removed, he had caused to be
destroyed. They also found many thousand mus-
kets, chiefly new, and vast quantities of ammunition
and provisions.

The inhabitants of Adrianople enjoy perfect
tranquillity; their trade and domestic affairs have
not met with a moment's interruption. All our de-
mands are made through the Kaimakan Paella
(Governor of the city), and are immediately com-
plied with, so that there is no cause for material
complaint.

The report adds the account of General Budberg,
of his having occupied Kirk-kilissa the 20th Aug.,
after obliging the enemy (300 strong) to abandon it,
and his occupation of Lulle Bourgas on the 21st,
after dispersing the above 3,000 men, which, uncle!
Abdurrahman and Ibrahim Pacha, had occupied a
position 14- leagues from Kirk-kilissa, on the road
leading to Lulle Bourgas and Adrianople.
The Journal of Odessa reports, that the 3fin-
grelia frigate had arrived at Odessa on the Bth of
September, with the keys of the fortress of Midia,
which had been taken by )111,...e Russian gun-boats,
sent to reconnoitre the coast. The Turks had at-
taeked them in the night, and killed four sailors;
but at day,breali, seeing the Russian ships approach,
they retired. Ten Russian sailors, who pursued
them, got possession of the place,. in which they
found nine cannon and some prisoners.
The St. Petersburgh Journals contain a long re-
port of the operations of the army in • Adrianople to
the 9th of August. Major-General Burzow, who

commanded the detachment in Beiburt, hearing
that 10 or 12,000 of the enemy had assembled near
Chjurmissh Chart, on the road t 6 Trebizond, re-
solved to anticipate any attack they might make on
the town, which was defended by only seven com-
panies of foot. With five of the seven companies
he left Beiburt in the night of the 30th of July,
fell in with the enemy near the village of Chart,
and attacking him boldly, drew him from the
hollow way on this side of the village; but
finding the army very superior in number, he
thought to frighten them by an impetuous attack,
in which he 'unhappily received a mortal wound.
Lieutenant-Colonel Lindenfeldt took the .command,
but finding the enemy, who received considerable
reinforcements, too strong for him, he retired to Bei-
burt. General Paskewitsch, on learning these
events, sent General Muravieco's column to Beiburt,
by forced marches, and on the 3d went thither himself.
The Turks occupied eight villages round Beiburt,
and in Chart 2,000 of the most desperate of the
Lases bound themselves by a vow to defend the
post with their lives, and according to the Oriental
custom put on shrouds as a token of their vow.
Osman Schalyr Ogly, late Pacha of •Anapa, who
was made prisoner 311 that town, and allowed to go
home, had a corps of 4,000 men, 10 versts beyond
the village, to support the Lases.
Count Paskewitsch attacked Chart on the Bth
August; which was strongly fortified; numerous
reinforcements came to support . the enemy
but were defeated and put to flight after some severe
engagements in two successive days, and the Lases
in the village seeing destruction at hand, got out
of the place in small parties during the night, but
lost many men, and three standards. Chart was
.occupied by day-break by the Russians, who after-
wards attacked the camp of Osman. A sanguinary
combat ensued, which ended in
.the flight of the
enemy, who were pursued into the mountains. The
Russians took two cannon and a standard, and the
whole camp of Osman Pacha, much baggage, with
the property of several villages, the inhabitants of
which. had fled into the mountains; 5,000 artillery
cartridges, a large quantity of powder, many cattle,
and almost all the horses of the enemy's cavalry.
The enemy lost 300 killed, and 150 prisoners, in-
cluding several officers of rank; we lost on the Bth
and 9th kugust, six privates killed, one staff officer,
three superior officers, and 60 privates wounded.

Thus the forces of the Lases and the Pacha of
Trebizond, which had assembled on our left flank,
were totally dispersed, and pursued far into the
mountains.

Major-General Burzow died of his wound at Bei-
bert, on the 4th August, universally regretted.

ADRIANOPLE, SEPT. 9.
(BY EXPRESS.)

The negociations are going on with great activity,
and a courier, who is gone to Constantinople, is
said to be the bearer of the complete treaty. Ge-
neral Diebitsch, it is affirmed, has fixed the 14th of
September as the very latest time for the signature
and ratification of peace. The military operations,
however, continue. The General will stay here till
the 13th, and will then follow the army, if the Sul-
tan should not be punctual to the day.
SEPT. B.—The part on which the Turkish Com-
missioners wanted farther instructions is said to be
the indemnity for the expellees of the war, which is
reported to be 25 millions of silver rubles.

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 26.

An expedition, sent from the Moluccas to the
coast of New Guinea, erected a fort, to which
the name of Fort Dubas was given, in 3. 42. S. lat.
and 133. 57. long. from Greenwich; the flag of the
Netherlands was hoisted on the 24th August, 1828,
his Majesty's birth-day, and a Proclamation issued,
by which possession was taken of the coast of New
Guinea, from 141. long. from Greenwich, on the
South coast, in a N.W. direction, to .the Cape of
Good Hope on the North coast.

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 29.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Orange ar-
rived in the city of Ghent on the 28th.

Letters from Cologne of the 12th ult. state,
that the Rhine continued to rise higher and
higher. The heavy rains had caused some in-
undations, and done much damage in the pro-
vince of Bon.

By advices from Naples, we learn the budget
for 1829 exhibited receipts of 26,657,038 ducats,
and the expenses were 27,342,606, leaving a
deficit of 685,568 ducats.

The Madrid Gazette contains an official
notice, inviting !persons to establish themselves
in the new Colony of Frenandina de Juges, in
the Southern part of Cuba, and holds out great
advantages to such as are willing to settle there.
Colonel CLUET has been appointed Governor.

Accounts from the Orkney Islands state that
Captain Ross, in the Victory steam-ship, had
touched at Icelandburgh, on his way Northward ;
all well. The season was mild, and the water
more open than usnal.

CITY, TWELVE o' CLOCK.

Consols, which left off yesterday at 89i to 1 for
the Account, opened this morning at 891 buyers, at
which price they remain steady at present, with little
or no business doing, owing to the speculators being
put to their wits how to act by the various contra-
dictory accounts received within these few days
from the East; but it now appears, by the Express
from Paris received this day, that the negociations
were not broken off, as reported, but only suspended,
the Turkish Commissioners having asked time of
the Russians to consult with the Sultan on certain
concessions as a security. It also appears, as we
stated yesterday in our city article, that the Sultan
is more in dread of his own subjects than the Rus-
sians, which is confirmed by the accounts from Pera
oldie 6th September; and that peace was expected
to be signed on the 13th Sept.
In the Foreign Market there is a complete stagna-
tion at present, and the prices are nominal, as yes-
terday.

TWO O'CLOCK.

There has not been the least animation in the
Consol market up to the present time, and Consols
have remained at 891 t- for the account, and 89 1,
during the whole of the morning, and scarce ten
bargains have been done.
The new one penny three farthings Exchequer
.Bills have made their appearance in the market, and
bear a premium within two shillings of the old ones,
65 66.

We understand that the report of the despatches
from Admiral Malcolm, going to Mr. Gordon, hav-
ing been taken by the Russians is void of truth;
we can also state that the best understanding pre-
vails between the Russian and the English Go-
vernment.

WRIT DE LUNATICO INQUIRENDO,

(THIS DAY.)

The enquiry respecting the state of mind of the it. •
Jervis Jervis, was resumed this morning at Gray's P."-
Coffee-house. The room was very much crowded. •
Mr. KNIGHT, who appeared as Counsel for Mr. Jell'
addressed the Jury at great length. He was free to admit
that this unfortunate gentleman had some time sinceit
labouring under considerable aberration of mind, but I'.;
thought the Jury would think with him that he was .110"
sufficiently recovered to manage his own affairs, and that
the malady with which he had been affiicte4 had subsitic"-
If, however, he was wrong on this point, he trusted the, •
would not fix the date of his unfortunate client's "malty
prior to the 12th of February in the present•year. •
The Jury then withdrew to visit Mr. Jervis, who Iff;
in an adjoining room ; on their return the Chief CAiv:
missioner proceeded to sum 'up the evidenee. •
The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a veralit:j
gt That the Hon. William Jervis Jervis was of unsoU •
mind, and had been incapable of managing his affairs Silice
the 11th of February, 1829." • - •
The following is an extract from the report made to t"."
Lord Chancellor, by Dn. Tuthill and Macmichael, rr
specting the state of Mr. Jervis's health We after'
wards saw and conversed with the said Wm. Jervis Jervid,'",
a considerable time, during which his appearance, mann
and conversation, were in our judgment characteristic
very great imbecility of mind. Any answer given by tle
to any question, was repeated by him many times 10, 0
same words for no apparent reason ; for example,
asked if he had proposed to proceed with a body of soft t
to take possession of Warwick Castle, and hold a COwitt
there, or to marry the lady who superintends his pied
establishment. He answered Yes, but theta I had
in my head; yes, a cold in my head—a cold in my hni,
a cold in my head—a cold in my head.' His voice
minished in force until the words became scarcely audible;
From the whole of our intervew with him, we are do,
cidedly of opinion that the mind of the said .Wm. Jer
Jervis is now unsound, so as to render him wholly utilts 'o,
the management either of himself or of his property.'

BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.

River ! River ! swelling River !
On you rush o'er rough and smooth—
Louder, faster, brawling, leaping
Over rocks, by rose-banks sweeping,
Like impetuous youth.
River.!
,River! brimming River!
Broad and deep and still as Time,
Seeming still—yet still in motion,
Tending onward to the ocean,
Just like mortal prime.

River ! River ! rapid River !
Swifter now you slip away ;
Swift and silent as an arrow,
Through a channel dark and narrow,

Like life's closing day
River River ! headlong River !
Down you dash into the sea ;
Sea, that line bath never sounded,
Sea, that voyage hath never rounded,
Like eternity.

The present number of Blackwood is charac-
terized by its usual ability in literary matter, and
l'ehemetice in political articles. Not satisfied
with the usual quantity of letter-press, Christo-
pher North"hasr liberally given two sheets and a
half additional, which makes the present num-
ber a-thumper: It has one fault, however, for
there'.may be too much of a good thing—and
ChristoPher bag treated his readers with an over
dose .of political, economy, as well as a super-
.
abundance of political -acritnony, varied indeed
in Paipp, but _tot- the more attractive, under the
appellations of Thoughts on the Times—Re-
port-on ;the'-Irish Miscellaneous Estimates—
Ireland as it was Twenty Years Ago—Me
Court and the Cabinet—and Public 4ffizirs.
Now all theSe varieties may be very pleasing to
Christopher, on principle that every crow likes
his own notes best, but we question whether his
readerawill be of the same opinion. For our part,
we think that none but an ultra Tory could read
them all through, and it would require the stomach
of Lord .Eldon himself to digest them to the satis-
faction of all parties concerned. But the Ultras
are fond-of strong dishes, and Christopher does
wisely to provide them with a bill of fare suited
to the present deranged state of their appetites.
PrOvoCatives may be as proper in politics as
promptitude in love or decision in war.

The 4' Five Nights. of St. Albans" forms the
first article in'this number, and in the shape of a
review, concluding with an extract supernaturally
interesting. The character of this book is favour-
able, but we d 6 not agree with the reviewer that
because the author (Mr. Mudford) has nothing
in common with either of the two sets of Romances
which have of late years divided between them
the favour of the public, something somewhat
different was wanting, if that something were to
bring us back to the days of superstitions horror
and fanatical delusion. Those times are, thank
Heaven, buried in the womb of eternity, and
we have no wish to witness, or at least to en-
courage their resuscitation, that the minds of the
r*ng generation may be familiarised with
ghostly monstrosities and imaginative horrors
Which act as a nightmare Upon the reason
ever after, and. which not even the strongest
mils can wholly shake off---so over-awing
is''their gloomy recollection. At the same
time we do not mean to say but that if these
things are lc:niched off with a masterly hand,
they may exercise the mind beneficially by ex-
panding the sphere of imagination, and teaching
it to contrast ideal possibilities with the poetry
of real existence. How the author of the
" Pive Nights of St. Albans" has acquitted him-
. self in this respect we will not offer an opinion
till we have had an opportunity of perusing his
work, but in the_ extract before us he has suc-
ceeded effectually, while the interest is rendered
more permanent by having a moral effect.
". Recollections of an Old Favourite," and
Dibdin's Sea Songs," are both critical, and
may please those musically inclined with a pen-
chant for the roving pleasures of the sea. ,4 My
d her-. Lodgers," by Mr. Galt,
dust
.keeps up the character, but not the inte-
rest, of his previous doings in that way. The
-B.3stry on the Theory (God wot !)
.and the
ritings of Wordsworth," is both too theo-
.relical and too prosy for our taste. As for the
Other articles, we leave them' to the taste of the
I;e4"ler, and close our hasty remarks with extract-
in.g the following comparison of the progress of
a river to the ocean, to that of man to eternity
....River! River ! little River ! .
Bright you sparkle on your way,
. O'er the yellow pebbles dancing,
. 'Through the flowers and foliage glancing,
Like a child at play.

THE NEW MONTHLY
Tor October is lively, interesting, and varied.—
It opens with a comparisoc between O'Connell
and
Shell, those master' spirits of agitation, and
does ample justice .

Upon their respective merits, as orators, O'Con-
-leil is considered as the more energetic—Sheil
the more finished ;—but as to the probable effect
Which either or both of them shall produce in
nel:ouse of Commons, time alone can tell.—
. That. so, we may spare the foresight of the writer
.11.: the " Netu Monthly." "Anecdotes of Ras-
-3m," the next article, bespeaks the matter of
which it is composed, and will repay perusal.—
'11:Y the way, we may just give the following anee-
nte, as it appears to be original in the last de-
gree. It is the description of a Tartar funeral :
r4"I had often heard of the ceremonies of a Tartar funeral,
At to all my travels in this world I never had been fortu-
e
u ed enough to see one. I now gave myself up to conti-
..ra inquiries concerning the health of a very wealth
4tbnoty
rtar, whom I understood to be in a very precarious state.
. a-fortnight after -my kind inquiries he died, and I
teterluined to do him the honour to _attend his funeral.
very nearly escaped my vigilance : but one day, as I
Walk:ng near the Gostonoi Own, I saw ten or twelve
t;Hen running away with a large box, which was carried
apoleL I soon found out that this was my friend, and
way I ran by the side of the box along the Kremlin wall,
tier t),e bridge which crosses the Moskowa ; here I found a
these and very shortly afterwards. I was in the line of
ofmeßorne note, every man of that persuasion in Moscow was
theti ttend •
once. The bearers were occasionally relieved, but
rtli edtlY never stopped for this ceremony; they seemed deter-
halt
to run him to earth as quickly as possible. The first
h we made was at the Tartar church above mentioned :
li:eere the coffin (if it can be called one) was placed on the
i'44l4.ca side of the church, hut outside of it, and the Tartars
teaka pious but a wet situation on the ground. in its
hY I endeavoured to get a better sight of the ce.remony
aqvancing in front of the coffin, but my old friend the

Lamm waved respectfully to me, intimating that I was not
to stand bet Ween the corpse and Mecca. The:priest .said
a short prayer in a horned tone, when the hearers again
eized the coffin, and trotted it away to its final destination.
The Tartars entered the church, and pr4ed in good earnest
for about ten minutes. Then on they came towards the
Tartar burial .ground, on droskas, as before. The ground
destined for this purpose is about four wersts from the city,
to the northward of the Smolensko road ; 'and for once in
my life I was not asked for my passport in passing a Rus-
sian barrier." ;.

The " Correspondence of Dr. Doddridge"
is an anticipatory review of the forthcoming
work on*that.subject, and which, as
.we intend
to renew:the book ourselves, we shall atpresetit
give it the go-by. " Arts and Artists''' May'
plesae the lovers of fine doings, but as the
chapter:breaks off somewhat unceremoniously,
we shall defer the severity of criticism till the,
sequel appearS. The article on " The Corn
Laws" is penned in. a spirit of liberality and
right feeling. The writer justly observes, that if
the corn laws are not repealed, their withering
effects upon every branch of British industry
must ultimately produce a mass of misery that
may bring about apolitical convulsion. In despotic
countries the Government always takes especial
care to provide for the first wants of the com-
munity, in order to be the better able to main-
tain imperious sway, well knowing that when
people starve they break through all rules,: and
begin to think for themselves as well as to act.
Hunger will break through stone walls, and there
is no reasoning with desperation. If, then,:it be
good policy in despotic Governments to provide
for the mass of the people, might not liberal
Governments take the hint, and improve upon
it by framing laws which shall . benefit the mass
of the nation, not minister to the monopolising
propensities of a few individuals? " Travelling
Troubles" will repay the reader for his. trouble,
and make him laugh into the bargain: The
other articles are varied and select, and the
number is altogether good though not first-rate.
