CITY OF LONDON MAGAZINE.

This is an improving periodical; the last
Number was a good one, but this is much better,
containing, as it does, more variety, both in
prose and verse. "The Theological Argument
against Capital Punishment" is a well-considered
and well-digested essay.

BRADSHAW'S JOURNAL.
There is a picturesque engraving of the far-
famed Lake of Windermere in the present
Number, together with a graphic account of a
visit paid last year by the writer, who signs him-
self" Maurice Harcourt," to Rydal Mount, the
residence of the poet Wordsworth. This account
is cleverly drawn up. We may extend the same
praise to the brief biographicul Memoir of Allan
Cunningham.

THE FARMER'S MAGAZINE.
Among other papers, relating to a variety of
matters connected with agricultural interests, a
proposal appears for establishing a farmer's
club-house in London. The necessity for such
an institution appears obvious, as a place where
agriculturists from all parts of the country might
mutually meet and correspond upon their affairs.

BOROUGH HO! MARKET.

We have had a very heavy inquiry for all kinds of
Hops here since our last report, yet the value of the
best qualities has been mostly maintained ; that of
the out of condition sorts having a downward ten-
dency. The supply on offer is not very large. East
Kent, in pockets, 5l lOs to 61 6s ; Mid Kents, ditto,
51 5s to 6/ ; Sussex, 4/ lOs to 51 8s ; 'Farnhams, 8/ to

BRUSSELS.

Nov. 30.—The King, who left Ardenne yesterday,
arrived at Brussels 'at half-past four in the afternoon.
Yesterday the 29th, the 12th anniversary of the
Revolution was celebrated at the Town Hall.

In the sitting of the Chamber of Representatives
yesterday, the Minister of War presented a project of
law, fixing the amount of the army at 80,000 men,
and the levy for 1843 at 10,000 men.
The debate on the commercial treaty with Spain
was concluded. Being put to the vote, it was agreed
to by a majority of 77 to 1.
The general debate on the budget of the Ways and
Means was then commenced.
London, England, 1842-12-02

SPAIN.

The Regent was on the 26th at Saragossa. By a
decree of the same date, the port of Barcelona, from
the river of Belos to filo Llobregat, is declared in a
state of blockade. .

All was tranquil at Madrid on the 28th.
• MADRID, Nov. 28.—The Regent reached Sara-
gossa on the 24th, where he was received with en-
thusiasm. lie ,was still there on the 26th.

PEUPIGNAN, Nov. 28.—The Captain-General has
signified that-the bombardment (of Barcelona) will
commence on the morning of the 28th. The in-
surgents were disposed to yield. Brigadier Durando
and the popular Junta will probably embark.
The.Veloce, which left Barcelona at five o'clOck on
the evening of the 27th, brought to Port Vendres
General Pastors, Llinas, and other refugees, as well
as the above tidings.
PER PIGNAN,.Nov. 26.—Several Spanish families
arrived here .yesterday from Barcelona. A few hours
after their departure from that city it was expected
that the bombardment would commence, the delay
granted by. Van llalen.having already expired.
Espartero was expected yesterday by the troops
surrounding the city.
General Chacon, who had been arrested by the in-
,stirgents in Barcelona, contrived to escape, and suc-
ceeded in placing 'himself under the protection of the
French Consul, by whom he was placed in safety on
board a French vessel. He arrived here two days
ago, and is still remaining in this place.
The total number of troops surrounding Barcelona
amounts to about ]5,000 men. ,

A considerable body of French troops are already
en route for this place and its vicinity. The Chasseurs
de Vincennes lately stationed at Toulouse, have re-
ceived orders to march to the frontier; and a cavalry
regiment, the 9th Chasseurs, are also en route for
Perpignan.
From all I have been able to learn on my way
from Bayonne to this place, I am convinced that it is
the intention of the French Government to avail
themselves of the first favourable opportunity to send
an armed force into Spain.
London, England, 1842-12-02

NORTH OF ENGLAND MAGAZINE.

The first article in this Number is the best; it
is an historical essay on the subject of the "Last
Days of the Stuarts," wherein the author gives a
very fair estimate of the public and private cha-
racter of William the Third, who certainly was
"an intriguer born." " Tales of the Haunted
Garments" contain one or two forcible descrip-
tive passages.

There are two embellishments in the Sporting
Review, the best of which is a sketch, in which
are included portraits of several fine greyhounds,

portion of the work is as well conducted as

the humane spirit that pervades it.

COLBURN'S UNITED SERVICE MAGAZINE.

disheartening or cheerless to the soldier, than
the. prospect of unlimited service, with a
dis
charge, as worn out at last, ou an inconsiderable
pittance or pension per day. The chief diflicul-
tlesto this measure appear to lie with the East
India regiments, and those at the Cape; but
these, the writer demonstrates, a rotation
system and other plans could obviate. The
use ironof cables instead of hempen ones, is
considered as the most beneficial change among
the naval improvements of the present century,
in an article treating on that subject: rudders,
logs, and log-lines, have also been greatly

amended and rectified; but the present greatest-
desideratum appears to be, the need. of a respon-

Dust rests on the Homeric brow,
Her genius is mute !
Where are the glorious hearts that fought
For freedom in the " pass of Gore ?" •
Gone —where the mightiest names are sought—
With yesterday of yore !
We hope—but what we hope the shroud
Wraps from our weeping sight ;
We aim at stars, and clasp the cloud,—
Seek day, and find but night !
Ab ! who with Life's dread woes would cope,
If 'twere not for that Faith sublime,
Which sees the Ararat of Hope
Above the floods of Time ?
What, then, is "Yesterday ?"—a key
To wisdom most divine !
It is the hall of Memory,
Where Fame's brief trophies shine !
The spiritual home of things,
Where Intellect immortal beams,
Which lends to thought its holiest wings,
Inspires the noblest themes !

A drop that mirrors forth a world,
Then mingles with the earth ;
A star from Time's vast empire hurled,
Slow falling from its birth.
A presence with the sacred past
To warn our spirits of delay,
Which saith,—" Proud man, to-day thou !last,
Use well thy little day !

We agree with the writer of the essay
headed • Arnold and Smyth on Modern
History," in his estimate of the literary cha-
racter of the former. Dr. Arnold was indeed
remarkable fbr his judgment and clear-sighted-
ness; his style, too, was full of chastened fervour,
and distinguistied by the •free and easy play of
its eloquen:ie; and, had he lived, there is little
doubt that he would have won for himself a
foremost rank among European historians. But
he was cut off in the very prime of Ins summer,
when the world was eagerly anticipating the rich
fruits of his ;natured intellect. The " Late Event
at Cologne" is a very dull and languid ode.
"Ny Namesake" is a passable story. In Nim-
rod's " My Life and Times" we have some inter-
esting particulars respecting the autobiographer's
literary undertakings. According to his own ac-
count, he must have made considek.able sums by
his pen, and turned his sporting knowledge to
most. profitable account. He deserves his suc-
cess, for he is a manly, cheerful, unassuming
writer, who gossips sociably and affably with his
reader, just as though he were sitting with him
over a glass of good old wine, by a blazing
Christmas fire-side.

THE MARKETS.-THIS DAY.
CORN EXCHANGE.

Although we have received a very moderate ar-
rival of English wheat up to our market this week,
the demand for that article to• day was excessively
heavy, and Monday's quotations were with difficulty
supported, without affecting advances. Scarcely any
foreign wheat has come fresh to hand, yet so heavy
was the sale for it, that the prices remained nominally
unaltered. Barley was a mere drug, and might have
been purchased on easier terms. The same may be
said of Oats. Malt, Beans, Peas, and Flour com-
manded little attention.

Our market to-day was but moderately supplied
with Beasts, in the quality of which a trifling im-
provement was apparent. Those on sale, with the
exception of about 50 horned and polled Scots, b 7
sea, from Aberdeen, were the refuse of Monday ;s
market, and in which may be included four from
Portugal. The best Beef sold at full rates of cur-
rency; but the middling and inferior descriptions
were much neglected. Although the number of
Sheep was comparatively small, the inquiry for them
was dull, at previous quotations. Calves were in good
supply, and heavy demand, at in some instances a de-
cline of 2d. per 81bs. The Pork trade was in a very
sluggish state. Milch Cows went off at from 161 to
19/ lOs each, including their small Calf.

SPAIN.

The Regent was on the 26th at Saragossa. By a
decree of the same date, the port of Barcelona, from
the river of Belos. to. filo Llobregat, is declared in a
state of blockade.

All was tranquil at Madrid on the 28th.
• MADRID, Nov. 28.—The Regent reached Sara-
gossa on the 24th, where he was received with en-
thusiasm. 'lle was still there on the 26th.

PERPIGNAN, Nov. 28.—The Captain-General has
signified that.the bombardment (of Barcelona) will
commence on the morning of the 28th. The in-
surgents were disposed to yield. Brigadier Durando
and the popular J unta will probably embark.
TheVeloce, which left Barcelona at five o'clOck on
the evening of the 27th, brought to Port Vendres
General Pastors, Llinas, and other refugees, as well
as the above tidings.
PERPIGNAN,' .Nov. 26.—Several Spanish families
arrived here .yesterday from Barcelona. A few hours
after their departure from that city it was expected
that the bombardment would commence, the delay
granted by Van :llalen.having already expired.
Espartero was expected yesterday by the troops
surrounding the city. •
General Chacon, who had been arrested by the in-
.shrgents in Barcelona, contrived to escape, and suc-
ceeded in placing himself under the protection of the
French Consul, by whom he was placed in safety on
board a French vessel. He arrived here two days
ago, and is still remaining in this place.
The total number of troops surrounding Barcelona
amounts to about 15,000 men.
~

A considerable body of French troops are already
en route for this place and its vicinity. The Chasseurs
de Vincennes lately stationed at Toulouse, have re-
ceived orders to march to the frontier; and a cavalry
regiment, the 9th Chasseurs, are also en route for
Perpignan:

From all I have been able to learn on my way
from Bayonne to this place, I am convinced that it is
the intention of the French Government to avail
themselves of the first favourable opportunity to send
an armed force into Spain.

BRADSHAW'S JOURNAL.

There is a picturesqUe engraving of the far-
famed Lake of Windermere in the present
Number, together with a graphic account of a
visit paid last year by the writer, who signs him-
self " Maurice Harcourt," to Rydal Mount, the
residence of the poet Wordsworth. This account
is cleverly drawn up. We may extend the same
praise to the brief biographical Memoir of Allan
Cunningham.

MONTHLY MAGAZINE.

This periodical is much improved under its
new management; and the Number before us
contains, inter alia, several intelligent reviews,
and among them, one of Mr. Macaulay's " Lays
of Ancient Rome," which are spoken of in warm
terms of approbation, and another of Mr. Taylor's
lately published tragedy, " Edwin the Fair."
The " Fauteuil" is an interesting story, the scene
of which is laid in France during the stormy
period of 1794.

NORTH OF ENGLAND MAGAZINE.
The first article in this Number is the best; it
is an historical essay on the subject of the "Last
Days of the Stuarts," wherein the author gives a
very fair estimate of the public and private cha-
racter of William the Third, who certainly was
"an intriguer born." " Tales of the Haunted
Garments" contain one or two forcible descrip-
tive passages.

DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE.

Mr. Lever's " Jack Hinton, the Guardsman,"
is brought to a conclusion this month. It is. not
so lively or amusing as " Charles O'Malley;"
still it is well worth reading, if only for the
vividness and fidelity of its sketches of Paris in
the memorable year 1814, when that city was
the resort of all tine leading- crowned heads of
Europe. The " Three Half Crowns" is a notice
or a well-known series of sonnets by the Italian
poet, Casti, the majority of N% hick, if we remember
rightly, have already been translated by Leigh
Hunt. In the essay entitled " Poets and the
Public" we are pleased to perceive that the
writer undertakes the defence of Lord Byron,
whose stirring and versatile genius it is now the
fashion to underrate.

SPORTING RE VIE TV.
There are two embellishments in the Sporting
Review, the best of which is a sketch, in which
are included portraits of several fine greyhounds,

portion of tl►e work is as well conducted as
usual ; and we may single out the " Anatomy
of Pugilism" as deserving of especial praise for
the humane spirit that pervades it. ft

COLBURIV'S UNITED SERVICE MAGAZINE,

The author of " Notes on the Army," in a
seventh paper, strongly advocates for general
adoption what he terms a "limited service
period." lie shows that nothing can be more
disheartening or cheerless to the soldier, than
the prospect of unlimited service, with a dis-
charge, as worn out at last, on an inconsiderable
pittance or pension per day. The chief difficul-
ties to this measure appear to lie with the East
India regiments, and those at the Cape; but
these, the writer demonstrates, a rotation
system and other plans could obviate. The
use of iron cables instead of hempen ones, is
considered as the most beneficial change among
the naval improvements of the present century,
in an article treating on that subject : rudders,
logs, and log-lines, have also been greatly
amended and rectified; but the present greatest
desideratum appears to be, the need of a respon-
sible Board of experienced officers and men of
science, whose express duty should be to investi-
gate and register the important plans and obser-
vations, which, for want of such a Committee,
are daily, with theifadvantages, lost.

the plan adopted by this Society; viz. joined to a secure
provision at death for inheritors of the Assured, the Society
affords succour to the Assured himself (proportioned to pre-

This Office unites the benefit of a mutual association with the

amongst others the following advaniages:—

I. Credit until death, with privilege of payment at any time
previously, for one-half of the premiums for the first five years
upon Assurances for the whole of life ; a plan peculiarly advan-
tageous for securing Loans.
2. In Loan transactions, the lender secured against the risk
of the borrower going out of Europe.
3. Sums assured to become payable at given ages, or death,
if previous. .

4. Policies indefeasible ; fraud alone, not error, vitiating
them, and in ease the Renewal Premium remain unpaid, the
Assurance may be revived at any time within Six Months, upon
satisfactory proof of health, and payment of a trifling fine.
5. Officers in the Army and Navy, and persons residing
abroad, or proceeding to any part of the world, may be as-
sured upon equitable terms.
6. Immediate, Survivorship, and Deferred Annuities granted;
and Endowments for Children, and every other mode of pro-
vision for families arranged.

All the rates will be found to have been computed as low as is
consistent with security.

WALMTIR, Tnuasnay.—The Queen has perfectly

for these some days back, and Sir J. Clark has been
relieved from his attendance at,the Castle.

Her Majesty has not left the Castle to-day.
The Prince of WTales and the Princess Royal have
not been taken out for an airing this morning, the
weather being rather cold and wet.
This day Lady Canning and Colonel Bowater took
the place of Lady Caroline Cocks and Col. Wylde.
There are no additipns to the Royal dinner party
announced for to-day.
Preparations are making for the departure of the
Queen to Windsor on Saturday next. Her Majesty
will leave at an early hour on the morning of that day.

TAIT'S MAGAZINE.

Mrs. Gore's story of " Abednego, the Money-
Lender " is here brought to a close, and the de-
nouement is more startling than any to be found
in Mrs. Radcliffe—that mistress of the romantic
and the improbable—for Abednego, the usurer,
is actually converted into a gentleman, just as
if such a transformation were within the pale
of the remotest possibility ! Henceforth let no
one wonder at the Metamorphoses of Ovid.
"Specimens of Modern Romance " is a clever
quiz on classical fictions. The doggrel Latinity
—that is to say, the English idioms rendered
literally into Latin—are very archly and inge-
niously introduced. The egregious anachronisms,
too, and exquisite ignorance of Roman familiar
life and character, are scarcely a burlesque on
some would-be classical novels that we have read
of late years. The " Neighbours" is a laudatory
notice of a tale translated fron the Swedish
by Mrs. Howitt. " Cracknels for Christmas" is
a smart, satirical squib; but why is Mr. Tenny-
son so unmercifully ridiculed 2, He is as genuine
a poet, despite some affectations and puerilities,
as any of modern times. In the review of" Lays
of Ancient Rome," Mr. Macaulay is warmly
eulogised, but not more so than he deserves.
"In the unpromising field of the Roman annals,"
says the Reviewer, "this gentleman has found
rich materials apt for his purpose, which he has
fashioned and moulded with a skill and felicity
bordering on creative genius. If las " Lays"
are not of the solid or utilitarian kind of litera-
ture expected from a modern statesman and
jurist, they are in nothing incompatible with
the higher part of the nature of such grave
characters."

A LIGHT FOR ALL NATIONS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SU_V.
SlR,—Accompanied by Lieutenant Batt, R.N., in
her Majesty's cutter Skylark, which was kindly or-
dered to be at my service by Commander Captain
Westbrook, I made a precise survey of the caisson
after the late gale; and, notwithstanding the fore-
bodings of many persons, including several individuals
of great experience, that the gale was such the caisson
never could survive, I have the pleasure of reporting
that it had not the slightest effect upon it, and that it
remains perfectly perpendicular, after having been
subjected for many hours to the violence of the
storm. This being the case, I have not the least
doubt of the ultimate success of this great national
undertaking. A small stage was' washed off, which
is of no importance whatever.—l have the honour to
be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant,

throng following and cheering throughout, and the
usual demonstrations being made all around.
At Boathousebridge the West Lothian escort of
gentlemen were relieved by those of the Mid-Lothian
who mustered to the number of nearly 200.
EDINBURGH, TUESDAY NIGHT.—Her Majesty
pas3ed through this city, on her return from the
Highlands, at half-past four o'clock this afternoon,
and at about five, or a few minutes after, reached Dal-
keith House in perfect safety. Her ajesty seemed
in excellent health and spirits; but travelling in an
open carriage, exposed to the fresh and balmy air of
the mountains, has somewhat embrowned her face,
though it has detracted nothing from her beauty.
At nine o'clock this morning, as I informed you in
my last, her Majesty and the Prince left Drummond
Castle, and, taking leave of her hospitable and kind-
hearted hosts, Lord and Lady Willoughby d'Eresby,
set out on her journey to Edinburgh.
Her Majesty changed horses outside of Edinburgh
at half-past four o'clock, and then proceeded through
the town to Dalkeith House in a private manner.
Her Majesty. it is said, remains at Dalkeith House
until Thursday morning, when she will embark at
Granton Pier for London.

The Town Council of Edinburgh give a grand din-
ner to-morrow in honour of her Majesty. His Royal
Highness Prince Albert, together with Sir R. Peel
and the Earl of Aberdeen, it is stated, were invited to
be present at it, but they declined the invitation.

IMPORTANT FROM •WASHINGTON.

THE TARIFF BILL SIGN n
""'PROTEST OF THE FR E -
STHEN T—ADSOURNM LINT, &C.
The 'Washington Correspondent of the New York
Union gives the following
important news from
Washington

WASIiINGTON, AUG.
30.-4 have hinted that you
might expect . a powerful development ere Congress
adjourned, and here we
have it this morning in the
shape of a protest of the President against the Report
and formation of the Committee of thirteen, at the
head of which was Mr. Adams, on the
subject of the
President's last veto.
It was sent to the House
bright and early this
morning, when the honour-a/4es refused to receive it,
or to permit it to be entered on their journal. It is
now in the hand of the executive printer, and will
soon be set up, but no copies can be forwarded-before
it is read in the House;
soon as it :is printed,
Mr. Proffit Will offer a reolutiot, rgspecting it, in
.;:ime shape or other, before the House. 14
way we shall induce action, but any other way would
be useless.
It is a strong document, though a very short one,
and handles the constitutional question with the ability
