THE LATE MADAME SOTER.—The appearance of
a very beautiful engraving of the picture of " The
Jew Lemon-sellers" reminds us of the loss which art
has sustained in the death of Madame Soyer. This
gifted lady, better known, perhaps, as Miss Emma
Jones, has been snatched away in the midst of a
career, the opening success of which fully justified the
most flattering anticipations of her numerous friends.
Some of Madame Soyer's pictures exhibited here
were the subjects of very general admiration, and such
of our readers as visited the last exhibition at Paris
(where Madame Soyer was even more popular than in
England) will recal with pleasure her picture, after
Murillo, of " The Two Israelites," which received so
much praise from the French critics. The devotion
of Madame Soyer to the art which she so much adorned
by her talents, is illustrated as much in the number as
in the excellence of her works, which form the basis
of a lasting and honourable fame. Although but 29
years of age when she died, she had already painted no
less than 403 pictures. Many of them are in the pos-
session of the most distinguished collectors in this
country.
BERLIN, SEPT. 24.—There is no confirmation of
the report that was spread a few days ago, that the
Emperor of Russia intended to pay a visit to our
Court next month, but Colonel Pathaud, Aide-de-
Camp to the Grand Duke Michael, arrived here yes-
terday, and since then it is said that the Grand Duke
will soon pass through Berlin.
ST. PETERSBERGII, SEPT. 20.—We continue to
enjoy very fine and mild autumnal weather. Ac-
counts from several parts of the empire, especially the
western government, say that the harvest is extremely
good. In the western government the crops of buck-
wheat, flax, hemp, and potatoes, are most abundant.
The crop of hay, in consequence of the rains in June
and July, is more scanty than last year.

COURT CIRCULAR.
WINDSOR, TUESDAY.-1-11S Excellency Count St.
Aulaire, the French Ambassador, arrived to-day at

phaeton and four, accompanied by the Dowager Lady
Lyttelton.. The Prince of Wales and his attendants
were in the next carriage. The Countess of Mount
Edgecumbe, Hon. 'Miss Stanley, and the Hon. Miss
Hamilton followed in another pony carriage.
His Royal Highness Prince Albert, and the Gen-
tlemen of the Court were on horseback. The Royal
party rode into the Great Park.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, Lady
Charlotte Dundas, Dowager Lady Lyttelton, Hon.
William Henry Lyttelton, and Miss Lavine Lyttelton,
will join the Royal dinner circle at the Castle this
evening.

Her Majesty the Queen Dowager and suite left
Marlborough House soon after ten o'clock yesterday
morning in several carriages and four, for the ter•
minus of the South Western Railway at Vauxhall.
Her Majes was attended by Lady Frances Clinton,
Lady in Waiting; Hon. Miss Mitchell, Maid of
Honour in Waiting; Earl Howe, Lord Chamberlain;
Earl of Denbigh, Master of the Horse ; Sir Andrew
Barnard, Clerk Marshal; and the Rev. John Ryle
Wood, Chaplain.

Soon a:ter her arrival at the Railway station, her
Majesty, attended by the ladies and gentlemen of her
suite and her household, took her departure, by a
special train, for the seat of Lord De Mauley, Cantord
House, near Wimborne, Dorset.
Sir James Graham transacted business yesterday at
the Foreign-office. Dispatches were sent off last
evening from the Colonial-office for the Governor of
the Mauritius.

EFFECTS OF THE IMPORTATION OF CATTLE,—The
agriculturists are still making a wild outcry on ac-
count of the introduction of foreign cattle. But every
ox pays a duty of 20s. According to the Mark-lane
Express, good oxen are purchased at Hamburgh at
Si. 10s. a head, so that the present duty is about 12
per cent. on the value of the article. That seems to
us a large protection. If it be not enough for the
agriculturists, and they suffer much from the removal
of the prohibition, what, let us ask then, was the
amount of the injury inflicted on the consumers by the
old regulations ? The more noise they make on this
subject the more will they enhance in the public mind
the importance of what has been gained, and exagge-
rate the amount of the injury previously inflicted on
the consumers.
Lord Brougham is very fond of greyhound
coursing; and a few days ago, when his Lordship
was recreating himself in this healthy sport, he
accidentally stepped upon a large loose stone and
sprained one of his ancles. We are glad to learn.
however, that the lameness occasioned thereby has
left him.
The cherishedAuackery of the hour, seems to be
the trying to persuade us, that millers and bakers are
making dear bread. And if we had had such fools
within our borders as plagued our fathers of fifty
years ago, we should have had a mob set on to sup-
port " the altar and the throne" by breaking open
mills and scattering flour into ditches, as was my
luck to see about the enlightened period alluded to.—
Letter from Colonel Thompson.
A FORTUNATE RENCONTRE._The Journal du Pas
de Calais gives the following relation :—About eleven
o'clock on Wednesday evening, as the Calais estafette
mail was coming down the hill from Beauvais at its
usual pace, it came in contact with a cart, which was
overturned by the shock, and all who were in it were
thrown out. A child had its face very much torn,
and one man had a leg and another an arm broken.
At the cries of those sufferers the inhabitants of the
neighbouring houses came out, and were so violent
against the courier that he was on the point of taking
his pistols in his own defence, when a post carriage
came up with two gentlemen, to whom the courier
appealed for protection. They both alighted, and, by
their judicious interference, appeased the enraged
people until the proper magistrate could be sent for.
He having come, and made an investigation, the cou-
rier was allowed to proceed on his journey. As he
was resuming his seat, one of the bystanders, to his
utter astonishment, informed him that the gentlemen
who had so effectually interposed in his behalf were
no less personages than the Prince de Joinville and
one of his Aides-de-camp, on their way to Eu.—Ga-
lignani.
THE UTILITY OF A REGULATING GOVERNMENT.—
You have seen it stated in the journals, thas the tube
of the artesian well is at length finished, and that the
water now flows clear from the orifice. This desirable
result has been obtained merely by causing the water
to rise to a greater height from the mouth of the well
before it discharges itself than it did before. At the
orifice it is still muddy and sandy. The tube is now
of great strength, the municipality having several
months ago voted an additional sum of 60,000 f.
for a tube which would resist the pressure of the
sides of the well. It appears, however, that more
than a month elapsed before the formalities of the ap-
probation of the Government to this grant could be
terminated, and in the meantime the sides' of the well
continued to fall in, and to form a thick mass at the bot-
tom which can never be removed. In vain was this
result predicted. The Government authorities would
not move out of their regular jog trot. This is only
one of an immense number of inconveniencesaris-
ing
from the necessity of having every municipal
grant confirmed by the Ministry. It seems rather
hard that municipalities cannot dispose of their own
funds as they please, and it was one of the proposed
reforms of the Revolution of 1830, that this harass-
ing and prejudicial control should no longer be ex-
ercised; but, like many other promised reforms, it is
still unaccomplished. Under the existing system, a
town cannot make a new street, or a new market, or
even appoint a manager to its theatre, without first
obtaining the consent of the Minister, and months
sometimes elapse before this can be had. The worst
Minister in this way that France ever had was M.
Thiers. For want of his signature, many public im-
provements were delayed four, five, and even six
months.—Letter from Paris.
KIEW, SEPT. 4.—Since the beginning of July a
great body of troops have been assembled, which are
now encamped near the city. Kiew is full of officers
of all ranks, whose presence greatly animates our
social circles, and brings much profit to our citizens.
The imperial equipage has already arrived from St.
Petersburgh. We expect Field Marshal Prince Pas-
kewitch as 'Commander-in-Chief of the whole army.

SCHLOSS'S SPEECH OP THE KING or PRUSSIA.—
The important and patriotic speech delivered by the
King of Prussia on the late occasion of laying the foun-
dation stone of the Cathedral of Cologne, has been con-
sidered by Mr. Schloss worthy of being preserved in
some shapo more lasting than its ephemeral announce-
ment by the daily press, and he has accordingly had it
printed both in German and English, and in a neat and
ornamented style, fitted for general circulation. It is
bordered in pink, on good paper, and the produce of its
sale is to be devoted to the benefit of the building fund
of the Cathedral.

LITERATURE.
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW- No. 75.
We have already quoted an excellent pars.-
graph from this number as a reply to the Qufir:
terly Review. Besides the postcript, from which
that was quoted, the number contains an vanest
and useful article on the outbreak in the mane'
facturing districts. - These are its political felt'
tures, and both are to our taste beautiful, because
they are good and true. In the lighter branches
of literature it contains favourable notices of the
poems of Alfred Tennyson, and of the sterling
worth and writings of the late Robert Nichol.
Madame Sand's new novel of " Horace" is rector
mended by a few graceful words. and pleas"
in g quotations. In a fairly written article,
without all the causticity the subject invites
and requires, the errors and abuses of English
criticism, which are no credit to our literary ch,
racter, are justly exposed. But the gem of the;
Number fin-amusement is the " Philosophy °L
Punch," illustrated by the cuts of that poPtl.
lar periodical. We congratulate the editor 0n
his justice and discernment in making 1.134/
deserving publication the object of an extensive
notice, recommending it, if possible, to a still
wider circle of readers. Of articles of a serious and
miscellaneous character, there is a dull notice();

obscure Italian writer, named Vico, who had the
great merit, in the beginning of the 18th centuill
of forestalling all the philosophical writers and

thinkers about history of the last half centuryfal

serable intrigues ofcourts and diplomatists, whil

latterly called the Natural History °I

history in Space, which can be, and is written ()

in location, have no natural history iivtime,
what is true of them now is wholly true of the"/

styles the Science of History. We doubt whetnet
there can be such a science, except in the sell6e4f
knowing what histories have been written; Oa
history, or the writing of history, is an art,Bll.
between art and science there is a wide and OE
damental difference, which ought never tn,r
lost sight of by writers at all desirous of I).grel
correct. Not, however, to enter into a lengthen.
criticism concerning a verbal but important:Pis

BLACKWOOD'S STANDARD NOVELS.
Blackwood, London and Edinburgh, 1842. We have here, lying bethre us on our table,
four volumes of this popular collection of nioderri
works of fiction, each of whose volumes contains
a distint tale—namely, Pen Owen, Valerian
Cyril Thornton, and Tom Cringle's Log.
these tales are well worthy of the honour of re;
publication, the last especially, which when it
originally appeared in Blackwood's Magazined
some years ago, acquired a speedier all,
more extensive popularity than any series Y'
papers that had ever been produced in that peg
riodical. By a prefatory notice to -`` T°o

ORTRERN CATTLE FAIRS.

BROUGII-HILL FAlR.—This a tied fair is held an-
nually on the last day of September, and on the first
day of October, on a large and commodious plot of
ground contiguous to the market town of Brough, in
the county of Westmoreland, and which is considered
to be one of the largest horse and cattle fairs in Eng-
land. The most respectable and extensive dealers from
_ all parts of England, Ireland, and Scotland, attend it,
• • both to sell and purchase stock. During the last few
Years it has been 4:As2rved that the attendance of
• . dealers and ~,the supply of horses and cattle were
materially Tess, and consequently the fair was
. considered to be on the decline. This observa-
tion, however, does not hold good this year,
• for the attendance of dealers, and the show
• of .every description of animals were very great,
and the quality of the animals was excellent,
With the exception of horses. The show of horses
was abundant, but the best of them were bought up
before they reached the fair. There were a great
number of Shetland ponies, many of which were
perfect beauties, and a great number of them ex-
• changed owners at good prices. There was an
„ample exhibition of Scotch and Irish bullocks, a
large quantity of which were sold at about 30s. a
head lower than cattle of the like description and
condition last year. Good short-horned calves were
-eagerly sought after, and purchased at prices a little
lower than last year. The fact is, that cattle of every
description were lower in price than last year. Many
thousands of Scotch and other sheep were offered for
saiel and a great deal of business was done among
• them at prices not so low in proportion as among the
cattle. Fat cattle were bad to sell.
27th
FAlL—This cattle fair was held on the
• 'l4ll ult., on the Nowt Fair Hill, near that town, in
-• the, county of Cumberland. It was tolerably well
.thronged with young bullocks, calving cows, heifers,
• and other cattle and a great number of dealers being
'rese'resent, the stock sold pretty well. Two years old
nt,
were eagerly sought after, and great numbers
Were sold at 61., 61. 10s., 71. 55., and 71. 10s. The
-denaand for good buckened calves was brisk, and the
'greater part of them were bought at 101., 11/. 10s.,
121' and as far as 131. a head. Fat cattle were some-
rwilat down in price, but upon the whole the fair was a
„,,g°o4:l one. Little business was done among the sheep.
• DAMPTON FAIR.—The exhibition of cattle and sheep
tty
