We have a private letter from Madrid now before us,
dated January 4.—lt communicates the story of the
Ilixo's serious indisposition, as also that of the Mi-
nister SALMON ; but avers that the whole is a trick.
The version given, on the 3d January, in the Poseria
del Sol—a square in Madrid—was to the following effect :
—The English Minister had just arrived, with little show;
but instantly made a communication to SALMON, on several
important matters, in such a tone that even—in the phrase-
ology of our Correspondent—" the voluntary deaf
must hear." SA mice referred the matter, without loss
of time, to Fauna*); to, who started not a little at
hearing truths which had been strange at court since the
English Minister had left it. Bat FERDINAND
passing from passion to sober reflection—made up his
mind, assumed indifference, and affected to receive the
communication with that bit% bin, ht which he is emus-
tamed to send away suitors and solicitors. SALMON,
however, having the fear of the English-Minister before
his eyes, persisted in having a categorical reply : upon
which his MAJESTY—OT as be is called, " OUT WIWI "
provoked at such importunity, cat the matter short
by saying:—" Well ! tell him to go to hell and
leave us in peace." The crest-fallen Minister most
piteously replied :—" I shall do what your MAJESTY
commands, were it to cost me my life.".—An instant
change came over the spirit of the Monarch, and he
graciously rejoined—" No : you must not die—the thing
is not worth so much ; but you must be sick, and say
• that I am sick too :"—Sauson did so—and by this
shift, a little time is gained for consideration.

that the republic of letters is only so in name. We amyl

Having been—we bel-m;---4he very first to notice the
establishment of a Society, which had long been a desi-
dsratum among our own and foreign Literati, who are
excluded from the other Clubs of London, it gives us
much pleasure to announce that the House formerly
ressupied by the Members of the 4 theneates, is now
4.0111111 as the LITSILARY UNlON—under auspices
Atidch bid fair to realise the best hopes of those
who first suggested the utility of such an Associa-
GUN and ultimately carried the project into effect. The
immber of Members already enrolled amount to five
Modred : of these, two-thirds are composed of Authors,
'Scientific men, and Artists. It is almost superfluous to
my, that the conductors of the daily and periodical Press
have not only become candidates, but taken a great per-
mute] interest in the organisation and success of-the new
Society. They probably feel as we do, that such an establish-
ment—bringing, as it will, the talents of individuals, no
matter of what creed or opinions, into ocial contact and
communication—cannot but prove a noble stimulus to the
aggregate genius of the country, thus collected into one
common focus. When the arrangements are completed
in London, it is intended to form Branch Societies in the
principal cities of the United Kingdom. A species of
Lome will thus be created for those, who might other-
wise be condemned to comparative solitude at Dublin or
Edinburgh, daring their summer excursions on
visits of business. What is more important, they will
thus command the means of a constant reference to the
journals and periodicals, without incurring any en
pense in addition to their yearly subscription, wsul
is a mere trifle. compered with that of other clubs. k
is, of course, intended to form a Library. For this pur-
pose, donations of books will be received from rassehent,
many of whom have already set examples °Mandoline osn-
tribution, which—we trust—will be emulously folioed.

will find their centre. Nor is it atnedig td aises. ktentis/-
ing reflections to which this infant association Ons
rise, that it has originated with a poet and a philoseober
second in hie own generation to no living mind—yet
whose ardent philanthropy surpasses, perhaps, even his
intellectual excellences :

It is generally confessed that the present winter is not
less unexampled for its 'severity, than the large portion of
our population, -vho are either condemned to starve in si-
lence at home, or driven into the streets to depend on
the precarious benevolence of individuals. This evil has
now assumed such an appalling character, and is increased
with such frightful rapidity, that we trusts public meeting
will be instantly convened, for the purpose of taking into
consideration the forlorn condition of the helpless and
starving poor. We recollect, that at the commencement
of the season, a number of learned disquisitions on poors'
rates and beggars appeared in the Mums of certain
journals which are, now that the evil has reached
its acM, quite silent on the subject While no-
thing can excuse the apathy of which we complain, it
is greatly to be regretted that those who arrogate to them-
selves such influence over the public mind, should not
have
,followed up their comments with some specific
remedy. That which we now suggest seems to be the
only one, calculated to diminish the hourly increasing
number of our fellow-creatures who crowd the
streets of the metropolis, and line the avenues
which lead to it. When we state, on the au-
thority of a friend who has been accustomed to such in-
quiries, that there are at this moment not less than* ten
thousand human beings begging their bread in the
streets of London and its immediate vicinity, we are jus-
tified in asking, what is the use of that religion whose great
and fundamental maxim tells us to " do unto others os
we would they should do unto us ?" When we state it
to be our firm conviction, that no country in the
universe, presents such a mass of misery and dis-
tress as our own, we ask what is the use of our
boasted institutions and vaunted liberties ? When
Englishmen reflect upon die foregoing melancholy and
nnimiable truths, what is their first and most natural
madmion ? We should imagine there is not a man
meow us, who possesses a spark of patriotism or huma-
nity, that would not gladly hail any measure having for
;object the removal of a state of things which placei
England lower in the scale of real happinesi, than Lap-
land or Kamchatka.
To return to the subject with which we set out,
namely, the starving poor, and necessity .of some imme-
ilieatotep for their relief, we see no means whatever for
Amin' ishbql the crying evil, but in a public meeting.
With respect to the meetings which have taken
lance in the country, they have been convened for
Prime! very remotely—if at all—cOnnected 'with
the extent and Preeention of mendicity. We have, there-
for*, little den* bet-shatia the event elemaliest being
taken up here, the example of the Mier., is will be fol-
lowed throughout the *sire.

Leadership of the House of Commons, and that, should
his wish be complied with, he will be succeeded by Mr.
