9he toxy party of Engtaad. .-The London Quarterly Review and Bells Weekly Messen- ger are tnouthpivces of this party. The former says of Charles X. Sit is the part of Europe, and above all of England, honoring his inten- tioasand plying his fate, to avoid his tactics. :" It is to be suspected, that those who are blind enough to adopt his principles might besilly enough to initiate his acts. The Messenger, which Is more mad with toryism than any other journal we recollect, is quite beside itself on the occasion of the Belgian revolution. It calls
 1t "a seryile war;" the ssinsurrection of brute force" Belgium, it says, is s'nuisance 10 all Eu rope, which cannot, ii adds, ssquietiy behold the annexation of those provinces to France, the separation of which from that ambitious power was extorted at the cost of so much blood and treasure" aAye, there's the rub" The day of Waterloo fought, and Britain's half million millions spent, all for nothing. "We sincerely hope,' says the Messenger, ssthat the king ofhe Netherlands will at least save Antwerp and the northern provinces from the contagion of this horrible mischief" By the last accounts, half of this prayer the Gods had already s'dissolved in empty air Antwerp being iii possession of the Belgians.
 There are some phrases which are habitually invoked by the champions of existing abuses as q kind of charm. They arc ever talking Of "order." "reiigion," and the sssober-thnking part of the public Fine words certainly! whose trte sense, too, is better than their sound.

Said Nature one day,-"For the peace OF
mankind,
Let Woman and Man have their kingdoms
apart,
To man assign the cold regions OF mind
Iowomsnthe sunny domains OF the heart. "
The partition was fair, and tho boundaries
plain,
Between Learning and Love-between
beauty and books:
Contented was Man in his black letter reign
And he left laughing Woman her love
darling looks.
But restless Zitclla must kindle foud,
And stir UP war of the studies 6 bowers:
Too proud for the limits wise Nature deemed
good,
From her own rightful empire she burst
upon ours.
We thought ourselves safe in our Latin or
Greek,
But Plato has yielded and TuIly is taken :
What are can but read, dread ZiicllA can
speak
Her books of the boudoir are Dorkoly and

Sweet podant, beware all tho world is ar

To check your ambition, your schemes c

The Scholar, If routed, will soon have the aid
OF legion Of dames-to woman, your
