LIBRARY OF THE FINE ARTS.

If se may judge from the ability displa►ed in theAcenel and third
number of this new periodical, it sill not only afford • great deal of
valuable intelligence, but defend the real interests of art, in a very effi-
cient manner. Several of the subjects exhibit decided originality, and
arc written with a freshness and vigour that we do not often meet with,
in papers nn such topics. The article on "Ce NNINGNAN'S Lives of
the Architects," is a masterly piece of criticism—nervous and ani-
mated—and in some passages really eloquent. Those also on Portrait-
painting, and on Colonnades, display a thorough knowledge of their
respective arts, and are exceedingly interesting; u is likewise the ac-
count of the New Museum at Berlin. The series of papers here cont.
menced, under the title of " The I$ orthie. of the Loaf Century," is
equally excellent, although their merit i► of a d.fferent kind, as they
consist chiefly of anecdote ; but of anecdote delightfully narrated, and
exhibiting a relined and delicate humour. Ti,e Vies of the present
eats of Lithography in Enytantl," is a really valuable cutrilmtion to
the history of modern art ; while the Reprints of REYNOLDS'S Dis-
courses, which are apparently to be succeeded by other standard publi-
cations, relative to the Fine Arts, would of themselves recommend this
periodical to the student, be his particular department what it may.

CRITICAL COMMENDATIONS.

" The author has treated them (the new discoveries, Ac.) with refer-
ence to their virtues, in such an arranged form, that the simplest per-
son niay be able to know in what disease, or what stage of it, the arti-
cle is to be used, and in what proportion, and under what precautions.
It is not necessary. after the above quotations, to take further trouble
in claiming the public confidence in this Book."—filonthly Review

POLAND AND RUSSIA.

Several letters from the frontiers of Poland announce that the Sultan
has declared war against Russia, and that the manifesto is already at
Vienna.— Messagsr des Chesmbrss.

The ness from Wolbynia and Lithuania is very favourable to the
Poles. At the news of the events of Praga, and immediately after the
arrival of Polish (Akers, several districts of Wolhynia rose en mane,
and It is said that they have already (unwed a provisionary government,
at the head of which is General Welssenhof.—ldern.

Beaux, MARCH 27.—The young Prince Czartoryski, one of the
sons of the President of the National Government of Poland, and
Aid-de-Carop of General Chlopicki, has arrived here. It is supposed
that he is charged to see at what point our King will be disposed to take
upon himself the character of mediator. It appears that on his side,
the King of the French, Louis. Philippe, has engaged to offer his me-
diation ; and that the French Journals have spoken of a negociatlon
already opened to that effect by our Government, which will not be the
same as the project proposed by the French Cabinet. We have re-
ceived advice from Posen, that Field Marshal Count Gueisenan has
dispatched Major Brand to the head-quarters of Marshal Count Die.
bitsch. The report which circulated from letters of Lithuania, that the
Emperor Nicholas would arrive at Berlin towards the end of April, is
contradicted.

The Koko of Poland says—" For some time back a profound teen.
quWity has prevailed among us; the distant peals of thunder alone
interrupt the apparent repose which we nig,. The Russians have not
vanquished us, and the fields of Praga have reminded Europe that David,
yet a youth, brought down °dish to the earth; they have shown that
the colossal magnitude of the northern giant did not intimidate a nation
drcamacribed within such narrow limits, and which appeared so last.

THE ARMY. ,

(From the Limerick Chronicle of Saturday, April 2.)
The three Companies of the tiOtit itegiment, under the command of
Major Ryan, which were ordered from Tcmplemore to Ennis during
the late election, marched out of Ennis on NVednesday last. One Com-
pany to; be stationed in Newmarket, under Brevet-Major Madden,
and the other two Companies are detached in Kilkishen, O'Callaghan's
Mills, and Broadford. A subaltern's party of the Gilt Carbineers and
74th Regiment, arc also in Broadford. These detachments are under
the command of Major Ryan, of the 50th Regiment, and ate to act. as
occasion may require. u a movable column in the County of Clare, dur-
ing the disturbed state of the country.
Major Maxwell, Gth Carbineers, and 514j0r Crabb, 74th Regiment,
are each In command of similar detachments, which move in different
[ directions.

The detachments of the sth, from Clare Castle, relieved the 50th in
Ennis last tt erincsday.
Majew.Oeneral Sir Thomas Arbuthnot and Staff are row at Gott.
The Reserve Companies of the 3lth Regiment are now stationed at
Clare Castle, under the command of Captain Gaacuyne.
The 76th Regiment in Dublin garrison is hourly in Lspeetation of a

EXTRACTS raw( THE JOURNALS.

Several journals have published new lists of subscribers to the Mso.
dation called National, at Paris. The Courtier Francais has a sixth
list. The Nalional has a tenth. They present a very considerable
number of adherents. To prove that N. Casimir Perrier Is deceived
upon this question, there is a common proverb which says..—" We must
not take the bull by the horns." Ii the proverb is right, IL Perrier is
wrong.—La Quotidienne.

Ten or twelve General officers have received orders to depart this
night : they are directed towards the hurdlers of the North-East. hi.
Cuituir Perrier, who assembles this evening all his colleagues at his
house, will he have changed his system ? Will these Generals hasten
our preparations ? Or are they charged to restrain the warlike enthu-
siasm of the population at the moment of the entry of the Prussians
into Belgium.—La Tribune.

General Semele has just, we are assured, like General Isamarque,
been dismissed for having signed the association of Moselle. We are
assured, that General Barrois having assembled at Metz 60 officers who
had signed the act of association at Moselle, enjoined them to withdraw
their signatures. Not only these officers did not consider it their duty
to obey the order which was given to them, but their comrades of the
five regiments in garrison at Meta immediately inscribed their names to
the number of more than three hundred. This will oblige the Ministry
of the lath of March, to be consistent, to disband the regiments as krill..
misses the functionaries. The association of Metz will name Deputies to
represent it at the Central Committee at Paris.—Le National.

Whilst France shall be threatened by foreign governments, and by
a royalist faction, whoever affords succour for the country will be fol-
lowed and listened to ; all federation formed for the common defence,
will :craw innumerable adherents. The factions may mix in this pa-
triotic concourse, perhaps even the enemies of the country. Unhappy
for us, if they should come in greater number than the good citizens.
The only means which now remains to the government to disperse
the associations, is to prove that they are useless; and that it is sufficient
alone to guard and defend the country. Let it prove this, not by
words, but by acts ; let it inspire confidence, and then it will require no
associations. This task has difficulties ; It is doubtful whether it can
surmount the obnoxious step of the dismissals.—Le Constitutionssel.

TO THE EDITOR.

Sta,—Observing in your paper of Monday last a paragraph relating
to the borough of Weymouth and Meleombe Regis, I have distinctly to
deny that I ever was a party to the sale of any seat in Parliament, and
I call affirm that there never was any traffic for sale of seats in that bo.
rough. The very constitution of the borough renders it impossible, the
tl-ctort generally being members of the corporation and freeholders,
nieny of •
whom are possessed of large property, and totally free from the
imputation of exercising their elective franchise but in the most consti-
tutional manner.
I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant,

LAW or DIVORCE.

Tower's Divorce Bill went through a Committee ; counsel having
been Kahl and witnesses examined in support of the Bill. Mr. Fresh-
field SAS in the Chair, and Serjeant Spankie was understood to have
addreaaed the Committee. The examination having continued fur
some time—

Mr. Aid. WOOD said it would be convenient for the Chairman to
repeat the evidence, as not five persons could have heard it. (Hear.)
The Houic having resumed,
Mr. HUYI E expressed the hope that if we were to have a reformed
parliament, there would be amongst other matters a reform of the law
regarding Divorces ; as the house would see that what had just taken
place was mere farce—and only calculated to bring the institutions of
the country into contempt. (Cheers.)—Report ordered to be received
to-morrow.

ye would rue when it beheld that house constituting the species of ►
,Ipular representation which this bill contemplated. It would make
;11Lntire democracy, and accomplish that change, the King of England
have less power than the President of America. The theory of
:he Constitution undoubtedly spoke of popular representation ; the
,ractice had diverged from it, and for more than 200 years ; and was
:here any body who could truly complain of oppressive conduct, or
injust outlay on the contrary, were not all their efforts constantly
l'rected to what even a regenerated house would approve ? (Hear.),
Th.: bill would give Democracy, and the vilest and dirtiest jobs had
et.Aitisteti with detnagoguea.
14n3 L. GOWER regretted that a dissolution was likely to take
place, chiefly on account of the effect it would have upon the affairs of
!retold in its present state of distress and disorder. The portion of the
kill that he had most objected to was that part of it which related to the
4i,tts kingdom. as it would have tended to have injured the protestant
vite:eits in Ireland. He would be very much astonished if every one
%it of that country would not be surprised at the suicidal character ofl
the measure that was proposed.
Mr. C. FERGUSON arose amidst cries " Question, question," He
-AA the gallant general (Gascoyne) with having used dissimulation
tu in:tending to say that his motion was not meant to injure the bill
'Cries of Question renewed.)
• Mr. W. BANKES rose and moved that this House do now adjourn.
The question was put from the chair.
lord A LTHORP, amidst much confusion, said that he would not
save been inclined to oppose the motion for adjournment if there had
been many gentlemen who had been desirous to address the house on
question. but the fact was that although much time had bxn ex-
p. ntlel, not one gentleman had spoken to the question, and on that ac-
,uttt he would resist the motion by every means in his power.
Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the house divided,

LIVIL LIST.

Lord WITARNCLIFFEcWtpi;inea that the civil list bill had
p..ased through the house without having, in the first Instance, agrees-
We to the forms of the house, obtained his Majesty's consent for bring-
ing it in. Many noble lords had last night voted for it on the suppo-
sh ion that it was not deficient in thisrespect.
The Duke of RICHMOND was not prepared at the moment to
argue the matter with the noble lord who ought td have prior notice of
a motion on the subject.
Lord WHA NCLIFFE signified his intention of renewing his ob-
servations on the subject to-morrow (this day.)
After a few words from the Duke of WELLINGTON and the Duke
RICHMOND,
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he had no wish to prolong
the discussion ; he might be ignorant of the forms of their lordships
house ; he was, however, pretty well versed in the forms of the other
house t:f parliament. In that house, when a minister of the crown
lootight forward a measure, or.even presented a petition, it was equi-
valent to a consent on the part of the King.
After a few words front Lord BEXLEY, the entry on the journals
~1 the house of Slay, Mid, relative to the consent of his late Majesty
ticorge IV. was read, and the question was postponed till to-morrow.
A Noble PEER presented a petition against the Beer Bill.
'INFORM.

The LORD CHANCELLOR presented 20 petitions praying for
parliamentary reform from Halifax, Perth, Tiverton, West Ham, and
other laces, making in all 70 petitions presented by the noble and
learned lord that day, he observed.
The bills on their lordships' table were forwarded a stage, and the
i'Anage atijoumed at flalf-past Nine o'clock.
HOUSE OF COMMONS, APRIL 21.
. _ _

Owing to three being a ballot for a committee to try the merits of
the Knave,.borough Election Committee, the Gallery was not opened
till near five o'clock. Immense numbers of persons were in attendance
to rush into the Gallery, and it was soon illed to excess. The House
in all parts was amazingly crowded, far more crowded than we ever
CAY it on any prev.ous occasion, both opposition and ministerial benches
wtre oppressively thronged, and so continued, not a member leaving his
place, although after the opening of the gallery some private bills were
p:oceeded with. Even the side galleries, those belonging to members,
were filled. The highest degree of excitement prevailed in the house ;
all was hubbub, so much so, that not one word of the private business
could be heard.

The Judges ap with a message from the Lords. What they
said was not ; though. at the very sound of " message," there
were loud calls for " near," u if tUre were to be some notifica-
tion of the period of diatolution ; but on hearing that it only related to
some bill, announcing (we believe) that the Lords had agreed to
the Civil List Bill, there were strong signs of disappointment
expressed by the aristocracy.—(" 013, ob, and much laughter.)
Several notices were postponed, but the only one heard in the gallay
was that of Ald. WOOD, who postponed, till May next, his motion re-
garding the diminution of public salaries.

I TA LY.

Vastcz, MAY Z.—There has just arrived here sevetal
Judges, who will compose the Tribunal Statario, called to
pronounce upon the fate of General Zucchl and his compa.
nions in misfortune.

MANTUA, MAY 29.—Our city becomes daily more
crowded with troops. They work with ardour in putting
our city in a state to sustain a siege of ten months, and pro-
visions of all kinds are being contracted, in order to be deli-
vered in the month of August. The state of the fosses was
not good ; they have been deepened three feet more, upwards
of 36 guns of 48 calibre, will arrive here from Venice.
BOLOGNA, 31 (Y 29.—The Austrians have evacuated the
city of Ancona and quitted the Marches ; but it does not
appear that they have the intention of abandoning the Le-
gations. From the circular which Cardinal Bernetti has
addressed to the inhabitants of the Marches, and which be
has not yet addressed to the other States of the Pope, we
fear that this time also, the French Ministry has allowed
itself to be duped by M. Nletternich ; for having demanded
the evacuation of Ancona, they have obtained it ; but the
Austrians can easily encamp at 15 leagues from that fortress
and render illusory the will of the Cabinet of France.
FLORENCE, MAY 28.—The position of the patriots of
central Italy, since the pretended intervention of the French
Cabinet in their favour, in place of being ameliorated, be.
comes more and more criticaL The three Governments,
Parma, Modena, and Rome, believe themselves now more
than ever authorised to destroy every germ of liberal ideas,
and take the most vigorous measures to arrive at that end.
Such a position does a peat wrong to the French Govern-
ment, which has entirely discredited the reply of M. de
Saint Aulaire to the note of Cardinal Bernath It appears
that he did not come to Rome but to disapprove entirely of
the insurrection of the Roman States, and to receive from
the Holy See the confirmation of His Most Christian
Majesty.
ROME, May 26.—The deputies sent to Rome by the pro-
vinces, though chosen amongst persons most devoted to the
Court of Rome, has not prevented them from showing to the
Pope, that in order to accomplish the wishes of the provinces
it was necessary to abandon the custom of choosing the Go-
vernors from amongst the Prelates and the Cardinals. Car-
dinal Bernetti, on learning the audacious remonstrances, fell
into a violent rage. The Pope only replied, that until the
month of November, there would be nothing changed in the
system of the government. ft is remarked that it is stipu-
lated in the acts of the Congress of Vienna, that the first
charges of the provinces will be fulfilled by seculars.

COURT CIRCULAR.

The birth-day of the Duke of Cumberland was
celebrated on Wednesday at Kew, with the usual demon-
' strations of rejoicing. About one o'clock a Royal salute
was fired in honour of the day. A number of poor per.
sons, to the number of 180, were served with a plentiful
dinner on Kew-green, given by the Duchess of Cumberland.
After dinner " Goo save the King" was sung In good style
by the gentlemen of the choir of Kew church, accompanied
by the militar► band.
A variety of village sports wer• then started, the
successful competitors in which were rewarded with prises :
ths spectators were very numerous, and the scene, owing to
the interest excited, very enlivening. In the evening the
tradesmen of the Royal Duke illuminated their hou.es, and
there was a very grand display of fire-works, under the direc-
tion of Mr. Winterbourne.

The gentlemen composing the deputation from
Belgium, were occupied fir a considerable time yesterday

LITERATURE.

Fraser's Mapasine.—Jena.
Originality has daily increasing charms; and in the pre-
sent period of literature, and when what is termed civiliza-
tion is constantly polishing men into one form, we may say
great merit. It is really not a little surprising, considering
the constant demand for the produce of genius, that so fair
a sheaf as that which is here brought before us, should be
every munch ready for the devouring multitude of readers.,
This is an excellent number, and proves Regina in good
plight, notwithstanding the terrors of Reform and broken
windows. The second article, on the " National Song of
Ireland," is a curious and pleasing paper. Poetry or music,
which becomes rutile,:4Z or popular—as It is termed—always
possesses beauty of the first order—that which is consonant to
the inherent sympathies of human nature. We have in this
article some pleasing specimens. We regret to perceive
a drop of blood has accidentally escaped from the pen of the
author. In prefacing a beautiful ballad, to commemorate the
death of William Orr, one of the unfortunate men executed
a few years back in Ireland, for their opinions, the writer,
although expressing ignorance of the facts, says, he feels
satisfied he was " justly hanged at a rchel." Now, we
hold he could not be justly hanged but as a murderer. One
remark, often made, is denied in this paper, that there is
no National Music peculiarly English ;" and, as the author
is to favour us with a continuation of his inger.ious disqulsi-
Con, we should suggest a little further illustration on this in-
teresting point. We wish he.could specify some old English
tunes. The third article is an able Critique on the Poetry
of Wordsworth. We next recommend the remarks on God.
win's " Thoughts on 3lan." in which will be found
some profound researches. The Life of Campomanes is
an interesting memoir of a great character. Towards the
conclusion of the work are several most acute essays on the
great question of the day ; viz. Reform, and Its probable
consequences. With the author's tenors on this subject we
cannot participate.—The Consequences of the Reform Bill
are here specified to be—lst, The extinction of the Protes-
tant church in Ireland. 2dly, The loss of Ireland. 3dly,
Emancipation of the negroes. 4thly, Loss of the colonies.
6thly, Reduction of interest of the national debt. 6thly,l
Abolition of tithes, and appropriation of church revenues.
Mthly, A call on the nation for supplies in the name of Be.
nevolences. oth, The Treasury unable to meet its demands.

POLAND.

FRONTIERS OF POLAND, JUNE 4.—Marshal
Diebitsch's head-quarters were still at Ostrolenka
on the Ist. There were between Dlottowen and
Lomza neither Polish nor Russian troops. The
former had advanced on the 31st as far as Grajewo,
and had compelled the people of Togosen, a village
on the frontiers, near Lyck, to restore the bridge
that had been destroyed. The Colonel of Engi-
neers, Daine, commands for the Russians at
Lomza. Large bodies of Russians and Poles are
now in presence in the district of Augustowa,
where a battle may be soon expected to take
place.

JuNE s.—The Commission appointed to stop the
progress of the cholera, have decided that certifi-
cates of health for persons or goods coming from
Russia, Poland, and Gallicia, would no longer be
considered sufficient to obtain immediate admittance
to the Prussian States, and that they shall here-
after undergo a quarantine of 20 days.
Two hundred and fifty Russian ships arrived at
Dantzic in one day, laden with provisions for the
Russian army. This circumstance, which several
mercantile letters announce as certain, may serve
to give us a notion of the kind of non-intervention
professed by Prussia with respect to the Poles.
The Chamber of Nuncios (Deputies) of Poland
has decided on the motion of Count Jean Lido-
chow ski—that the Marshal of the Diet and the
President of the Senate shall devise means of
sending to Constantinople a Turkish standard,
taken by the Russians during the last war, and
presented to the Poles by the Emperor Nicholas.
It is thought that four Turks, lately made prison-
ers in an engagement with the Russians, will be
commissioned to bear the standard to the Sultan.
Jt; a 3. It is said that an extrraodiaary courier,
arrived in Warsaw yesterday, with news that Gen.
Chlarowski had surprised a• Russian division not
far from Bialystock, and, with the assistance of the
Lithuanian patriots, took five pieces of cannon,
and a number of prisoners- This.intelligence has
reached us through a Polish correspondent, who
adds, that he cannot vouch for its authenticity.

COMMON COUNCIL.

A Court of Conrtmcm Council was held yesterday for the
dispatch of public business.
Mr. Pzaasow presented a petition from Mr. Michael
Solomon. a Member of the Jewish nation, praying to be
admitted to the Freedom of the City, with which the Court
complied, and directed the Chamberlain to admit him ac-
cordingly.
It wos referred to the Committee for General Purposes to
consider and report as to the necessity of the Members of
the Court taking the Oaths of Allegiance and Supremacy
yearly, in addition to the oaths they took upon their
elections.

On a Report from the London Bridgo Committee, the
Court directed the payment of some monies Into, the Bank,
for premises purchased for the approaches to the new Bridge.
The Chamberlain presented his account of arrears of rent,
&c. to Christmas last, and the Comptroller presented his
annual charge upon the Chamberlain, which were severally
ordered to be printed.
Seieral Petitions fcr Leases were presetted and referred
for examination.

Upon the motion of Mr. Deputy OLDHAM, the sum of I
five hundred pounds was directed to be subscribed by the'
Chamberlain, in the natte of the Court, towards the relief
of the distressed Irish.

Mr. Deputy OLDHAM, the Chairman of the Royal En.'
tertainment Committee, presented a Report for payment of
sundry small expenses incurred in the recent preparations
for fitting up the Guildhall, which was agreed to.
Mr. JUDAS Jacoss, another Member of the Jewish
Nation, was, upon his petition, ordered to be admitted to
the freedom of this City.
The Court then proceeded to consider a Report from the
London Bridge Committee, on their proceedings in carrying
into execution the Acts of Parliament for building the new
Bridge, and making the Approaches, when Mr. 'Thornhill,
after a speech of considerable length, concluded by moving
a Resolution for the Rentcmbrancer to lay before the Court
the Resolutions passed by Committees of the House of Com-
mons, on the 4th May, 1829, and the 17th March, 1830,0 n
Petitions from the inhabitants of Bridge Watt!, to be al-
lowed compensation, that they may be entered upon the
Journals, and also be printed in the Minutes, and sent to
several Members of the Court.

The Moion was agreed to without opposition, and the
Court then broke up.
London, England, 1831-06-17

You will find in the journals some rather re-
markable ipeeclies and answers which have taken
Mace at Metz. One of the most curious incidents
that occurred, is that of a captain of the National
Guard of Metz, who presented himself after the
Mayor had delivered his discourse. The King see-
ing the Captain advance with a written paper in
his hand, and preparing to address him, asked whe-
ther he was the commandant of the National Guard ?
Ile replied, no, Sire ; but I am delegated by the
commandant; upon which the King allowed him to
speak, and he eommenced as follows : " Al-
ready more than once, since the Revolution,
the National Gcard of Metz, has addressed
to your Majesty the expression of its de-
votion to the throne of the citizen King, and
its wishes for the institutions which he will support.
You will have soon in our city a new manifestation
of our affection. Yes, we carry upon our Bug the
motto, " Liberty, Public Order!" To our eyes
these two ideas are inseparable•—if order is a con-
' dition necessary to liberty, does not experience
prove that the most certain means of assuring or-
der is to satisfy the progressive wants of civilization
by liberal and popular laws ? Amongst these laws,
the most decisive for the future is that which must
organise the second branch of the legislative power."
At these words, the King interrupted him, by say-
ing, " The armed force does not deliberate, you
are no longer the organ of the National Guard ;
thus I can no longer listen to you." Thus cut
short, the Captain marched off in quick time, and
you will observe in the journals that the National
Guard has decided not to send another address to
the King.

We had a bit of a row yesterday in the Rue St.
Denis, owing to a jeweller repulsing rather vio-
lently a pamphlet-hawker from the neighbourhood
of his shop, who disturbed him by expatiating
upon the virtues of Napoleon, and his generosity
during the hundred days. A cry was raised that
the jeweller was a Carlist. A mob collected soon
in that populous neighbourhood ; the jeweller took
refuge in his shop, barricaded himself in, but the
mob broke hie windows, when he afterwards fired
pistols from an upper window and wounded some
of them; this exasperated the mob, who but for
the speedy arrival of the Guards, would have
hanged him on the lamp-rope ; as it was they
gutted his house, and burnt the whole of his fur-
niture; and till 12 o'clock last night the Hussars
were in possession of the street, and frequently
charged upon the people. You can have no idea
of the insubordination of the people here.—Yours,
J. L.

SPAIN AND PORTUGAL

Some coolness has lately existed betwen the
French and Spanish Cabinets, occasioned, as it is
said, by the useless attempts made by the Ambas-
sador of Spain in Paris to dissuade France from
sending forces into the Tagus, and taking decisive
measures against Don Miguel.
We are assured that an expedition is preparing
in Toulon against Don Miguel, and that Rear-Ad-
miral Hugon is to take the command of it. Two
battalions of infantry, and a battery of six pieces of
artillery, have been already embarked. A letter
from Toulon states that it will be ready to sail on
the 17th of June.—Semaphore.
The 4th battery of the 4th regiment of artillery,
in garrison at Rennes, has been ordered to prepare
Ito march—some say for Brest. This has led many
to believe that forces were about to be directed
against Portugal.

TO THE FREEHOLDERS OF MIDDLESEX.

OENTLENEN,
HIS MAJESTY having been pleased to dissolve Plifle
rnent, for the purpose, as his gracious Speech informs us,
of ascertaining the sense of his People on the expediency of making
such changes' as circumstances may appear to require ,in the Repre-
sentation—you will answer this appeal by electing such persons to re-
present you in the ensuing Parliament as to yon shall seem fittest to
support the views you entertain on this al-important subject.
His Majesty also expresses a hope that the early attention of the
New Parliament will be applied to the introduction of a strict economy
into every branch of the public service.
My opinion on these two vital questions—Reform and Economy_
were known to you, Gentlemen, at the time you did me the honour to
elect me one of your Representatives; and I conclude, therefore, were
such as then met with your approbation.

My subsequent conduct in Parliament has been 'governed by the
same principles. I have supported to the utmost of my power the
Reform Bill of his Majesty's Ministers : I have endeavoured to en-I
force economy in every practicable way ; I have given, I hope, in all
matters relating to the business of the country the proper degree of at-
tendon ; and gratified shall I be to find that these endeavours have been
tonformable to your wishes.

again tender you my services to represent your great and populous
county in the new Parliament; and, should you think proper to honour
me with a renewal of your eonfideree, I will strenuously exert myself to
promote the general interests of the country ; and, above all, that great
measure of Parliamentary Reform, to which his Majesty has directed
Our special attention.
I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient humble servant,
Ilryanston•square. April 25. JOSEPH HUME.

BELGIUM.

The Cabinet of London, whose interest it is clear is to
embroil us with the Belgians, has just, we are assured,
made known that our Government demands that their
country be divided. It is evidently a diplomatic calumny,
the end of which is to aid the nomination of the Prince of
Coburg, the candidate of all the vacant thrones. The
Perier Ministry cannot allow a thing so inimical; it can-
not allow itself to be placed in a line with the cowardly
cabinet which left Poland to perish. We may add that we
have for chief, an honest citizen King, who, in reply to a fear
of this kind, said with warmth to the deputation of the Con-
gress : " My hand should drop off rather than sign the dis-
honour of France." We shall not seek, moreover to combat
o absurd a report. The intelligent diplomatist, who repre-
sents the Belgians at the Palais Royal, will tell them what
is our sympathy for them. If they must choose between a
rival people and us, they must not forget that, in the con-
ferences our Ambassador is the only one who defended their
cause; they must tut forget above all, that in the first days
of December, M. Geudebien, their Plenipotentiary, was re-
ceived at Paris, and that M. d'Aerschot is not yet recog-
nized at London.—Le Coast;tutionnel.

GLASGOW FREE PRESS, APRIL 20.

ANDE SON SOIRE E.—On Monday evening the company as-
senibkd in the Museum, for the first time this season, and although
the shades of evening scarcely allowed us more than a glance at the
treasures of Hattie and art it contains, we could not help re.atirking the
admirable manner in which the specimens arc arranged and named ern.
der tie able direction of Dr. Seemlier. We are happy to hear it an-
nounecd, that for the reniaiuder of the season, the Museum would be
opened at six o'clock on the evenings of the Soirees. After coffee, several
specimens of Ammonites from the Himmalayart mountains were calif.
bited ; these occasionally fall from the region of perpetual snow, sad
are worshipped by the natives with superstitious veneration, and pae.
served with such care, that it is only till very lately that any of them
have found their way to Europe. There was also exhibited a remark.
ably perfect Roman Fibula, lately dug up in the ruins of the wall of
Antoninus. Mr. Smith of Jordanhill then read a paper upon the
effects of the deluge, illustrated by numerous specimens of tusks and
bones of the Mammoth, and other extinct animals, and pointed out
the Diluvial phenomena as exhibited in the country round Glasgow.
Four individuals have now been tully committed for trial, as havirg
been concerned in the late robbery of the Commercial Bank parcel M
the Regent Coach. Their names arc George and Win. Gilchrist, bro-
' timers, James Brown and Thomas CampbelL It now turns out ilkst
Brown was the outside passenger who opened the coach door to the per.
sons within, then they mine out beyond Airdrie. The sum of 70L in
sovereigns have been discovered in his lodgings In Edinburgh, under
very seispidou • circumstances—having been found concealed within a
game-bag, in a fish-basket.
