KILRUSII PETTY SESSIONS. Oh sweet bad luck to your mothcr.in-l;1w.Shelh.:¡, Paddy Scully, a rollicking, free-and-easy looking unit of tIe "eight llIillions," all the way from Goweihass, who, with a fine mixture of naivete and candour, described himself as the eldest Loin of Ould Tom Scully, that was noted through the coun- try as a quiet, sober, little man," was introduced, having a brace of Colonel M'Gregor's sons of A-grip-pa" as sup- porters, for Paddy had proved, as Paddies will, to the end of time, refractory; and, not content with having despitefully Ilsed" J. cerlain Mrs. Brllmmagcm, his mother-in-law, he also contrived to establish in the dyke of the road, where weeds, wather, and mud were the principal commodities, Master Owen alsli, who, astride upon a donkey, which underwent a simil ir immersion, had been then and there indulging in the interest- pastime of ass-racing. When the scattered ifre of ascusations lio n many quarters had been concentrated on Paddy's head, —he bore it like" a thrue Mi'isinn"—and with a broad grin, to which Colman's was a fool-a grin that disclosed masti- cators not indebted for their pearly attributes to Rowland's dentifrice, he facetiously observed,—" Ilang me at wanst,JI\Irs. Brummagem dear do, and make ye'r daughter a widdy swarc away my life, ye'iself an' herself,, an' indeed ye'r a nate pair, us Paddy Haren said whin he found his brogues half burnt." ( A laugh.) The Chiffneyof the donkey race now came for- ward, and plucking at a miserable remnant of a cap formed of a skin which had once encased thc flighty proportions of a cor- pulent sea-gull, he commenced a Jercmaid, in a powerful key. Racin' we wor, Sir, for one an' sixpins meself an' Jack Connors, and' Tim Naughton, an' Timmy Lyons, an* Widdy Mailer's sons, ao' Bulty Dundon, an' six more ov uz an' I got the first heat, an' was comin' in the succond, wid Tommy O'Dea, and Lyons on each side o' me, an' we weltin' one another wid our switches, whin Paddy Schully kern up. A dead hate—a dead hate says he, givin' me ass a shoulder— so with that itstlf an'ineself wint heels over head intoabig dirty dhrain, see that now Ye're young," remarked Master Scully, quite lackadaisi- cally. You're young, Oway dear, an' the like never dune you the laste harm in life." Harm retorted the race-rider. Why bad luck to you an' sure if wishin' it to you was enough you'd Le well sup- plied—harm ? warn't the nibors sayin' 'tis fairy-struck I must have been, I was so changed. One eye bulged up, your re- verins, an' me nose bleedin", an' one leg o'me small clothes gone quite an' clean' not to mintion the paste o' puddle over m j face. Harm, indeed Paddy Scully." .Magistrate: And you also, it apears, stiuek your mother- in. law. Eh? didn't you beat her ? Paddy: Allileu talk of batin' to Moll Brummagem, that used to head hei own facshin at the fairs long ago. See, sir, this woman (here lie touched Mrs. Scully on the shoulder) is my wife, surely, an' this woman's the evenin' I wint to put in me proposhal for her to her father, I got a bnstin' that I wont' disreniimber, my hand to you, if I live till the day iv judgment. Well; an' what's that to the purpose? interposed Mrs. Brummagem. Oh! bind alive, easy, ma'am dear, eazy," returned the accused. Keep studdy till I make the gintleinen binsible ov what sort ye are. After takin a Iwise or two ov spenils, your re crins, hepor Tom BrummalJcm produced a couple ov smart blackthorn sticks. Handle one o' these, an' stan' opposite me out,' says fee, or the ù-l resave the one o' you'll ever call my colleen Mrs. Scully.' Oh! murder, 'I'm tirin' ye, giuilemen. Well, to shorten me story, I up wid meself, an' spit in me figt, wid respects to ye, an' geve a screech that med ilte ratchets aycho, to hide the thrimlin in my heait, for he was first-rate on a stick. I gave the hat a slap down on my eyes, an' at it we wint. back, bellv, an'sides feint, cover, an uit; back stroke, medium guard, an' knee-pan lech (flou- rishing his right hand), till 1 get an' got sich a lickin' that I >vrss as tired o' me life as a bull that u'd been bet three days runnin'. (Liughter.) An' may be my husband did not feel yoti at all, you spal- tlieun ?" interrupted Mrs. Brummagem. Paddy laughed and winked a whole life of reminiscences a the old lady, and continued, There's the proof he did," ,shj>ping Mrs. S.s shoulder) "he's dead and gone IIOW, but I taught him some steps that evenin' he never learned ov a dancin'-master; an', i¡¡need, he cut a few figures on the head that was ondher 10Y Caroline so that [ only wondher 'twas d".r the same for a head." When Mr. Schully wound up, it v.: is intimated to his mother- in-law that she had better come to particulars, which she did !),i, fly enough, by informing the bench that mister Paddy had caked a screeching bot pratee" in her ear, by flinging it her, thereby drivin' her to the veige of madness." Here, botheration to it," said Paddy Scully, do ye all come home." Magistrate: First pay the cnsts, and keep your hands quiet in future. Paddy Oh long life to ye, an' health to enjoy id, an' that I will. See here, I'll lie so orderly an' paceabie Ihat peo- L *;I be saying—' Dear me, what a sober, hard workin' boy that Scully is.' (Great laughter.) An' as for you, Owen Welsh, ihurm the fauve (shake hands). See here—'pon me woid, I hcandy torgive you, so 1 do. A good mornin', gentle- men—good mornin', poieesemin. Come away, Mrs. Scully, a uood mornin' to you, Mrs. Brummagem."

moM II. A. REYNOLDS, ESQ., LA 1 E SENIOR CAP. TAIN OF THE ELEVEN i ll HUSSARS. To the Editor of the Morning Chronicle. 0iH,-I have to request you will do me the favour to allow YOllr columns to form the channel of a respectful communication I wish to make to the public. 1 have been given to understand, from various quarters, that subscriptions have been set on foot, to recompense me for the loss 1 have sustained by the sentence of Court martial, and ais) that addresses are in preparation to her Majesty, eliciting her Majesty's gracious (leniency in my behalf. I have most e;;niestly to request that every well-wisher to myself and to the best interests of the service—to which, alas I no longer belong — will refrain from ioininco in either of thenbove measures, 1'01 the following reasons:—In the first place, 1 cannot—1 dare- (wt-;}S an officer, ùrnught up ii, her Majesty's service, lay my Ii:d on my heart and say that [ have not grievously oHèndûJ the jaws established for the government o! the army. It will not be expected of me, I am sure, to acknowledge that the sen- tence passed upon my offence was not a severe one. God blOWS I fee] it to iJe sueh; and no one, who has not loved his ,uofession, as I have done, in all its details, can imagine the misery which I suffer in being thus divorced Íiom its nolde du- ties. But I should feel quite unworthy of the generous sympathy which his been so universally expressed, were I, by any act of my own, or by countenancing any act on the part of the public, to afford the smallest reason fur its being supposed, that I do not submit patiently to the punishment which my own in- disi retion has brought upon me. Still less would it be consistent with the principles which have guided all lilY actions, were I, either directly in my own person, or indlrcclly through the instrumentality of thepublicsympathy, to imply that I distrusted the perfect uprightness of purpose of the gallant officers assem- bled to judge my conduct. It would be absurd in me to say that 1 consider their verdict a right one—culpable though 1 ad- mit myself to have been but I am so thoroughly persuaded that all the members of the court acted conscientiously, and with no object but the maintainance of military discipline, that 1 ^muld grieve exceedingly, on military as well as on private grounds, at any occurrence which should cast suspicion on my perfect good faith in making this assertion. My loss has indeed been a bitter one, but it is not of a nature to be alleviated by pecuniary compensation and it would ccitainly be augmented by any proceeding which might be construed into an admis- sum on my part that the members of the honourable court meant anything but rigid and necessary justice. I have paid too close an attention to my duties as lID oiiicer not to know, that military subordination mint be enforced and although I cannot sub- scribe to Ihe sweeping doctrine t1,at liP degrec of provocation can ever justify a subordinate in breaking from the strict line of rcspectful submission, I feel that I am much too deeply and too personally interested on this occasion to consider mvself a fair witness as to the nature and degree of mercy which, with safety to the well being of the army, might have been extended to me, Such oeing mv view" of thi" matter, I hope and trust that my assertion will be received as sincere nhell (stale it as my most anxious desire that no subscription of any kind be en- ttied into on my account. But 1 am, if possible, even more anxious that no attempt should be made to influence tite Crmvu on my behalf. I have said already, and I repeat it with the iiio.t unaflected sincerity, that I am ?j i a t-uc jti'gc m mv own ca iie, neither do I conceive that the public can be so. At all events, 1 feel that my unhappy fortunes stand afar belterchanee for amelioration, if left to the genuine, uninfluenced considera- tion of my royal mistress, to ivhom all the circumstances must be a< fully known, in all their bearings, as they could possibly Oe made, were every hand in the empire to subscribe a petition for my restoration to the army. My gracious Sovereign knows that 1 have served her in all climates for a period of fifteen years, during which (with one exception) I have endeavoured to do, and I hope have done, my duty as became her devoted servant. The Queen knows that I have a-quired in that time the good opinion uf some of her best and bravest officers, who bive cheerfully come forward to bear testimony to the zeal with which I served her Majesty heretofore as a soldier, and to the invariable purity of my character a? a gentleman. I cannot doubt that these circumstances will eventually have their due weight, whatever that may be, in the generous consideration of her Majesty, who knows that soldiers, like the rest of mankind, a.e liable to err, from imperfections of two very distinct kinds—r infirmities of temper and defects of character. And assuredly i( her Majesty shall have rcason, trom perusing the proceedings of the recent court-martial, or from any other cau^e, to suppose, or even to suspect for an instant, that my character is such that I am not worthy fo hold her commission, I should be the last man in her Majesty'sdouiinions to seek the royal favour on such terms. Lutif, as i trust may be the case, hergraeitus Majesty may see lil her alwllp tatthtut servant only the rashness, the tiansient rashness, of a temper too finely siiainened tn her ser- vice to bear with patience what he cou3idcreJ a reflection on his honour, she may yet deem his hand woitliy to bear again the sword, which he has so long calried in defence uf his Queen aud his country. I am, sir, your most obedient humble servant, RICHARD ANTHONY REYNOLDS. Paxton-hall, St. Nects, Huntingdonshire, October, 31, 18 40.

MAURIACE OF LORD .IUIIN RUSSKL.L. — It is reported that the noble Secretary for the Colonies is shortly to be united in marriage with one of the Ladies Elliott, il.iuuhter of the Earl Minto, First Lord of the Admiralty. Lord lohn Russell, it will be recollected, spent some" time at Minto Castle, Roxburghshire, in the conrsc of the recent autumn.

LORD CARDIGAN AND THE ELEVENTH TlUS- SARS.—CONDUCT OF LORD HILL. The E.i a miner, in commenting on his lordship's mcmoi an dum, observes with respect to the intimation that he will Item no more (If surh. complaints, that all that has passed will be bu- ried in oblivion — The first remaik to he made upon this extraordinary inti- mation i*, that in it \HI !!ill al,dk;¡Il':i his funelion: renounces his duly, L is as ii a judjie-should say, I will liMcn to no ,.}¡;q';es of by-gone wrongs ill Cumberland: I will hear of no thing which has heretofore occurred. It is peifeetly useless for iny persons to claim redress in that county for anything passed but any future wrongs shall be inquired into and redressed. Lord Hill's tiibunal is not one of oyer and terminer, it is a couit terminer without the oyer; it begius with the non-suit withouttheprocessof hearing. Lord 11i 11 is not like the ty- rant who punished first and then heard the charge. Lord IIill will neither hear first nor last; if he punishes, as in Captain Moselle Reynold's case, it is without hearing if he acquits, as in Lord Cardigan's case, it is also without heanng. This just administrator of the atrails of the army has notified his reso lution not to take cognizance of any past misconduct in the Illh Hussars. Has lie any right thu3 to abdicate his duty ? Is it not his positive duty to lake cognizance of misconduct; and vhat right has ho to discharge himself from an essential part of his functions? The grossest offences, unknown to the Com- mander-in-Chief, may have been committed in the 11th Hus- sars before the date of his communication, and he has plainly enough abdicated the duty of taking cognizance of them. In every point of view how monstrous is this declaration that there shall be no hearing, ao redress for wrongs up to a certain date, and that justice is to begin to morrow. Lord Hill has here committed a gleat mistake, as he will finu on the meeting of Parliament. So long as he did injustice he acted within the discretionary authority unfortunately entrusted to him but when he formally proclaimed bisreeotution not to do justice, not to hear any past wrong, nor to notice any past misconduct, he did what no functionary can pretend to have the right of doing, abdicated an obligatory duty. So much for the general princi- ple involved in Ihis monstrous procedure as 10 the paiticular effect, in the instance of the regiment retrospectively put out of the pale of superintendence, it amounts to this, that for the past the Commander-in-Chief does not command in chief—for the past Lieutenant-Colonel the Eail of Cardigan commands in chief; that for the past there is no authority above the Colonel, no appeal agrinst any of his doings, no redress against any of his doings, no redress jfor any of his wrongs, he being dis- charged from any responsibility for his acts by the refusal of cognizance of them. We do not believe that Lord Hill was aware that he was dclihclalely proclaiming a denial of justice and an audication of his duty when lit; ma 'he communica- lion in question. We do not believe that • > a» aware that he was denying justice, because a man must kmw what justice is, beforc he can know when he is denying it-and further, there is Ihis tu be said for Lord Hill, that as in doing-justice he de. nies it, so in denying it he may imagine he is doing it. With eharacteristic fairness, the amnesty for all ollences, known and unknown, in the llth, is not pronounecd lill the court-martial paitially constituted, had on a partial inquiry, excluded the evi- dence in palliation, found C:ipt Reynolds guilty of insubordi- nation and eashieied him. Now we have ruined Captain Rey- nolds,'say the Horse Guards' authorities, 'we will make peace, ami declare by-gones by-gones.' So 'he long eaied justice in the burlesque says- 'JH'UIS. Silur.ce! this just decree all at your peril Obedient hear-else I shall use you very jll- Pan sliall remain, J'ol quit tile plain.' There is something very naive in the promise of redress for the future. I'ay lo.ddY, give credit is an olJ wag" gery of L'ab.irets; and Cardigan to day, jus'ice to-morrow,' seems the paraphrase of it at the Horse Guauls. Thepromis sory nule, however, would seem to euutess tint something had been wanting bdore, and perhaps Lord Hill feels that Lonl Cardigan has reason 10 complain that Captain Moselle Rey- nolds and Mr. Forrest have not been cashiered, the first for fe» ling aggrieved at having been reiused leave of absence, on the occasion of the deuili of a near relative, because of a cer- tain vote on a court-menial displeasing to the colonel, and also at having taken that which he ought not to have taken, that is to say^for not taking the l:e contentedly, and for taking the key of his barrack-room. After laying down the rule of conduct at some rather unnecessary length, and in a style that would do no dishonour to Mistress Honour or Mistress Slipslop, that otiiccrs should conduct themselves as genllemcn ought" a truism urged with all the force that belongs to reiteration, and with all the eloquence of the expression in which we have seen it clothed—after the exquisite elaboration of the proposi:ion, that gentlemen should conduct themselves as gentlemen ought,' Lord Hill proceeds to say: — [t is impossible that it should not be felt that the llth Hussars i3 not in a state in which a regiment ought to be, in oider to afford giouud for confidence that it would, in quartets or in the field, at home or abroad, render the efficient service which might be expected from a body of non-commissioned officers and soldiirs so well trained and disciplined in the peiformance of their duty as light cavalry, in such good order, and uniformly so well con- ducted in their barracks and quarters and this on account of the lamentable disputts and differences aml1ng their oHi('c¡5, their disrespect to their commanding officer, their disobedience and uisuboidiuatio! i lie commanding Ouicer of the llth Hussars sitould feel that lie has an arduuus duty tu pet form that hI; has nut only to command and form for service a body of soldiers nearly newly raised, and entirely remounted and equipped, hut a corps of officers eithcl recently retulllco from service in a tiopica! climate, ;:1 which the habits and customs uf the service must ddier from those ill European service, or who have been but a shod time in Ihe army. lie should iew their errois will: indulgent mode- ration, particulai ly if he should not have reason to betide,as the General Commanding-in-Chief feels conlidcut he will not, that tfie errois are lo be attributed to wilful disobedience, insu- bordination, or disrespect of his authority. He should never forget that those placed under his command are so by the grant to hem of tLl: COI¡lIlIi6Slons of our gracious Sovereign us well as 10 ¡¡jmself, are officeis in Ihe service of her Majesty, gentlemen of education as well as himself, under the protection of her most gracious Majesty, of the authorities of the army, and of the law, as long as they perform their duty, and conduct them- selves as oflieers and as gentlemen ought. He must recollect th..1 it is expected frum him, not only to exercise the mililary coii.maud over this regiment, but to give an example of mode- ration, temper, and discretion, blended with the zealous activity and ability for which lie is noted, which will tend 10 form others to be able hereafter to perform the high duties which, in the course of their professional life. eaell vi those piactidunder his command may be called upon hereafter to perform. The fie- neral Commanding-in-Clnef has particularly directed me to intimate to^his lordship his sanguine expectations that, thiscoinse oj conduct will lead to a jar less Jrequent reference tolih lordship mid the authorities of the Horse Guards f rom the 11 lh flusanrs, than has heen the cose in the lott mouths, and the result will be more creditable to the army.' Here is a distinct admission that, if Lord Caidigan had ex- erCised the temper and moderation recommended to his adop- tion, cause of complaint would be obviated and the discipline of the regiment improved; and yet Lord J lill, in an antece- dent passage, has stated, that he had given due consideration to i very complaint made, and, as we all know, he has come to the conclusion that Lord Cardigan was right, and his officers wrong, in eveiy instance. In cvety dispute between Lord Car- digan and his officer; Loid i'ill has decided in favour of Lord (J.'idigan s conduct in eveiy paiticular case, how can Loid Hill pretend to find fault with the genera! conduct in command wtiich is made up of sm h particulars? W hen Lord Hill pre- sumes to attribute the diir'ciences in the regimen* to faults in Lord Cardigan's temper and manners, the answer of the noble colonel is ouviulIsly- Why you, the Commander.in-Chief, have found me right in every dispute, and have condemned my oiht ers. No, no. Lord Hill has left himself no case for blam- ing Lord CarJi¡;al1. Having supporle(1 Lord Caidigan through thick and thin up to the twelfth hour, the Commander-in-Chief canuot turn round now 011 the colonel and refer blame 10 his temper. Lord Hill's time for finding the fault in Lord Cardigan's temper was, whell the special cases Involving such faults were undcr bis consideration, and when he could discover nothiryj amiss in thc colooel's bcalillg alld conduct. Lord Hill's reprimand should theielme obviously, ^cording 10 all the rules of consistency and of justice, have been addressed, not to Lord Cardigan, but to himself, Lord Hill- If Lord Hill has happened lo see a piece called The Wreck Ashore, he has seen the, precedent which should have been lollowed by him in his upon dlc recent occasion. Magog, the beadle (never to be forgotten as it was played by Keeve), finding himself too drunk to stand, desires his follower, a kind of Sir Johu Macdonald, to fine him five shillings, adding at the same time, as lie in vain endeavouis to get on his legs, and, moreover, I authorise you to lake me uj> Now, IIIIS is the sort of debt of justice which Lord Hill owes from himself to himself-he should, like the beadle, find himself gllil,.v of ceitain excessive indulgences, and authorise his fol- lower, Sir John IMacdonald, to take him up' in a reprimand. If this parallel should not please Lord Hill, he will find ano- tiier still more tiite in the old fable of the thief at the gallows who bit his mother's ear off, alleging that if she had listened to the report of his offences, he should not have been encou- raged to proceed f:om bad to worse, till he had become hardened and fixed io crime beyond the reach of mercy. III return for Loul Ilills's reprimand, Lord Cardigan has a right to bite off Loid Hill's ear; and never did old woman better deserve the pai.ishmerit oÎ tite peccant oigan from the tooth of her spoiled child. It is for Lord Hiiiio beware. With au instinctive | sense of danger he has refused to hear the officers of the llth, and if Lord Cardigan should get access to his car, we would not give moie for its tenure to his head than for Captain Rey- nold's commission. Cropped of one of his organs of heating, the Commandsr-iu-Citiefwouid be a piteous personification of the justice that heais only one side."

CAPTAIN REYNOLDS.—Such is the sympathy with this gentleman, that throughout the kingdom, both in towns and villages, a subscription has been set on foot to remu- nerate him for the loss he has suffered from the ill-treat- ment of his Colonel, Lord Cardigan. Ilull) we are glad to say, is not an exception. As in most other places, a penny subscription has been commenced, which, we have no doubl, will raise a very handsome sum.— Hull Gazelle.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. VRANCK. The Mom/citr, of Saturday, contains an address from Marshal Souli to the French army, on his taking posses sionoftheWar Ministry. He recommends "obedience, exactness, discipline," and "the maintenance of that mili- tary coiifrfilciitilt/ which makes the well-being and the foice ot' annies." The Marshal must, in fact, have been reading the trial of Loid L'ardigati at the bar of public opinion in Kngland, and must have gone out of his way to contrast French confraternity willi" the cold shade of aris- tocracy," felt even at an Knglish mess-lable. "You know, soldiers," continues the 1\larshal, that I demand much, and never tolerate neglect of seivice or of duty but that in return I watch over your rights and comforts. I count upon you, whether you be called in concert with the Na- tional Guard to maintain order and respect for the iaws, or whether we aie called by the King to the defence of the soil, the honour and dignity of Frallce." A journal, not ill-informed, declared on Friday, that M. Thiers was to proceed to Italy immediately after the dis- cussion on tile address. Report added, that a very mild opposition was to be expecled from theex-rninister. The Constilutiminfl, however, denies any intention on the part of M. Thiers to proceed to Italy. The Sitch, a journal 01 the Left, renders an account of the meeting and newresotutions of the Liberal party. The editor is a Deputy, and an influential member ol that party. His declarations are therefore important. They slate that fierce opposition will be made against Soull and (Juizot, and that, should these be overturned, the Left will be no longer contented to giveadisinterpsted support to a Ca- hinet, like that uf 1\1. Thirrs, in which thry did lIot joill, but that they will insist on seals ill the Cabinet for the leading men of the Left. This allets M. Thieis's position much, and it also allers the question of the majoiity; for many who would vote against Soull and GIIIWI III Older to see Thiers and Remusat take their place, would cer- tainly not vole against Soult and Guizot for the sake of puttingThiersandBarrotfntheirptace. The Droit slates that the appeal case of Madame Laf- farge, before the Court of Cassation, will not come on Ire- fore the first fortnight in December. The proces verbal contains seventy pages of minutes.— GuUgmtni. It seems certain," observes the Quotiriiemie, "that M. Guizot has lost in the Pllcnix his carriage, wardiobe, pa- Iwrs, and other effects. Talk.ng on the subject yesterday with a friend, he said, I have only one pocket handker- chief left to wipe away my tears for the rest. TOMN or N.iror.IION.—The second model of the tomb of Napoleon, by Marochetti, which is to be erected in the Invalides, is finished. It repiesenls a mass of granite, having.an entrance on eachsideofthefoursidea with fold- ing doors, repit-senting the Renaissance. Kacli of these entrances is surrounded by an eagle. Above is a pedestal, the base of which has an allegorical figure at each angle holding the emblems of power. On the top of the pedes- tal is an equestrian statue ol the Ktnperor. M. Maro- chetti is said to be preparing a third model. Amongst the preparations for the funeral the following is spoken off: — It is said that on the summit of the Arc de Tnomphe there will be a triumphal car wi'li (our horses, representing the apotheosis of the Emperor. The wooden buildings now electing on the esplanade of the Invalides, and which are to extend at regular distances from each other to the iiar- riore tie I'Ktoile, are intended to shelter the wotknien who arecharged with the erection ill each of anenormuns sta- ttle in plaster, representing a King of France. These wooden houses are thirty feet high and four wide. They are to be removed for the purpose of dispiaymgthesta- tuesllieday beloie the ceremony. Messrs. Yisconli,Com- herouse, and IIittortf are charged with the superintend- ence of all the arrangements. SPAIN. QUEEN CHRISTINA Ar>n ISSPAUTEKO.— A Valencia cor- respondent informs us that the young Queen, on leaving Valencia for the capital, met with warm demonstrations of loyalty from the inhabitants of the former cily, and of .111 ihe principal places along her route; everybody taking great interest in hei situation. It was said' that Sir A. Aston, on learning the Queen Regent's intention to abdi- cate, had endeavoured to change her Majesty's resolution, hut that the Queen told his Kxccllency that she was actu- ated by nothing but a desire to promote the good of her daughter's subjects, and that she had no doubt Spain would come to iegret the absence of one who was so much dis- posed to promote the wellare and happiness of the country. We find it stated in the same letter that the Queen-Regent had expressed herself in very bitter terms to Espaiteroa few minutes before leaving Valencia, iicr Majesty re- minded him that he had no cause to complain of her con- duct towards him, to treat her in the way he had done; that from being a subal em officer, he had been raised to high command, had been made by her Count of Luchaua, Duke of l\lorf!llo, alld had been created a grandee of Spain. "The c»u I y thing 1 could not do," added the Queen, was to make y >u a gentleman." We may add to the above, the following extract of a letter from the same city, which gives an affecting accuunt uf the separaliou of the Queen Christina from lu-r two daughters, Queen Isabella and the r nfanta Donna Louisa.—" Just as the young Queen and her sister were going to bed, their mother called them, and tolrlthem that she was going 10 leave them the following day, and that she should be absellt for some time. AH three immediately begall to sob aloud. After having re- covered a little, Maria Chi isttua told the two Princesses that tlie state of her health requiied a change of air [wilh )\J 11- nozj, alld asked them if they would wish their mother Iodic? The two children did not reply, but their lips were graled tothoseoftheirmothcr. The latter, then taking the young Isabella in her arms, gave her some advice adapted to her age, and desiied her never lo forget the numerous sacrifices which her subjects bad made tcr her. She then embraced iliem again, and held them convulsively in her arms, bath- ingthentwithbertears. An old soldier, who was present at this interview, was so affected that lie several times put his hands before his eyes to conccal his Icals.

The question of how to dissolve the Senate, in order to the re-election of the entire of that body, instead of only the one-third fixed by the constitution, is the general topic.

The vessel sinking, the crew made a a raft; but it was no sooner made than there was a light as to who should uo on it, for there was not room for all.

A MORNING VIEW FROM MY BED-ROOM. O the last ray of feeling anù life must depart, Ere the bloom of that valley shall faue from my heart," MOORE. How many there are in this our trafficking world, who are entirely insensible to the varied charmsof any tiling that accords not with their daily dreams of shillings and pounds and what a far greater number are there, who, gazing for a moment 011 the bright and lovely earth, turn away without one spark of thrilling emotion, and minole with the world again ? In vain for them the astronomer has enquired through the mystic telescope, and discovered worlds before unknown in the far-stretched heavens. In vain for them may the gifted poet clothe theradiaut beauties of creation in r. still more radiant gloiy or the painter depict in unJyitig colours, the mighty mountaIn-rearing its giant crest to heaven; the quiet del! teeming and diversified with ten thousand beauties; and the broad earth whereon are so lavishly scattered the flowers and herbs and trees, by an Almighty hand Their spiiits are girded with ignorance, and their wills have no ambition above the dross of earth. Only twenty-three summers have passed over my head, and yet how many such have I known There are occasional periods when an imaginative mind i3 ir- resistibly compelled to behold and adore the countless glories of nature and what two cras are there in lhe ever-succeeding twenty-four hours of man's existence, in which the faculties oi auch a mind are most intently interested, than the glorious sun- rise in the empurpled sky at morn, and the gorgeous sunset, and forthcoming of myriads of star-flames at eve 1 Both have been my delight for years and though 1 have beheld the sun use up from his eastern bed, in many a scene—have beheld his hrst beams dancing on the undulating billows at sea grandly as. cending beyond the mighty mountain's summit—or bursting with sudden glory upon the valley's meads, still, I know not that ever I marked his uprise with such glad heart, or looked and adored the suddenly-awakened glories with so much rapture, as when 1 gazed on both from my bed-room window. If there be a fastidious reader who may feel displeased that I ave se fccted this locality for my view, let him consider how "we isposea the imagination becomes in the sweet and dreamy slumber of night, to gaze on the first blushes of creation. It were vain and idle to suppose that the influence of dreams is but a wild and speculative theory for I dare to avow, there is not an individual who can wholly ca»t off the impressions that visions of the ni^ht will leave upon his spirit, or who willlJoJùly affirm they sbsli not influence him. I love most to gaze upon the woild arising from its sleep, when the remembrance of sweet dreams is influencing my heart in the calm morning hour. First, then, I will suppose myself removed from the some- what-narrowed limits of my sitting-room, to my bed-rootn win- dow, The time is the hour of sunrise anù the view presenled to my delighted yaze is the fairest that Cambria can boast. Ob- serving that I write in the ancient town of Caermarddhyn, or, Anglicized, Carmarthen, my readers must please to imagine my residence situated on the brow of a high hill, which commands a tine and picturesque view both of the pleasantly-situated town below me, and the far ground beyond. Premising thus, I will at once proceed to detail the view from my bed room window. Bounding the horizou on the left, and presenting an acclivity which exhibits on its green surface the beauty of creation, in- terspersed pleasantly with the white-washed homes" of Cam- bria's peasants, I behold PEN-LAN. To stand on its summits, and cast the eye abroad thence over the vast expanse out- stretched beyond it west and south, the spirit seems to be trans- ported to another clime. In the far distance of the west, the mountain dwindles down to the plain, and (he vallep open to discover to the human ken "the ever-sounding sea!" The billows that washed the foot of other lands come back dancing to wash the shores of Walei; and there, on the shore beheld from the top of Pen-lan, do they lave the proud castle founda- tions of Llanstephan. Looking towards the south, a black range of mountains, famous in the annals of Wales, present themselves to sight; and on their dizzy and dreary heights the clouds come down to repose in calm and (juietude at night. In a parallel line from my window I perceive the verdant sides and glorious crest of Cappel-evyn. The forest tree is upon its as- cent, and fields,•cottages, and gardens beautifully variegate the scene. The sky beyond looks calmly as a summer's dream; and the clouds that playfully linger for a moment on the moun- tain's breast, sweep onwards in rapid strides, as though they longed to repose theieon. From thence what a splendour of crention is witnessed With regret do I retrace my steps and once more place myself in my bed-room window. On the right, as I look out from my elevation, the vale whose magnificent beauties the pTnter, the poet, and the historian, have alike described in such transcendant colours, at once bursts on the view. Liktj. a glimpse of" the better land looks the Towy V ale at sunrise. Rolling along with melodious voice, the sweet river seeks its ocean bed, through banks whose margin i.-s deco- rated by nature with ten thousand charms in fio«er, in herb, in silvery sand, and sweetly singing birds; and,heightening the picture, and giving it a pleasant and a gentle hue, here and there the ijuiet cattle descend into the limpid waters, and quench their thirst; or the rustic maiden, whose cheek is tinged with the healthful vigour and bloom that the salubrious Welsh atmos- phere can alone impart, is seen, filling her pail with the bright waters, to convey to the cotter's home. The umbrageous woods rise up on either hand; and stately trees, gently waving to the passing zephyr, cast their broad shadows down across the valley, the head of the valley I seethe pleasant village of A bergwilly ren. dered a sacred place, and Oh how beautiful! by the stately i and reflect their decaying glory in the onward-passing river. At palace of the St. David's bishop. The forests, preserved in their primitive grandeur by the predecessor of the present bishop, still look proudly down on the village with the stern features of ancient guardians; and the mountainous scenery around instil into the wondering heart that feeling which the sublime and beautiful" can alone convey. Leaving tbe gentle lowy Vale to its calm, serene, and happy quies- cence, I look beyond its beauties and see uprising over the val- ley the far-famed and hallowed MERLINS Mountain!" To what a host of strange and|undefinable feelings does that moun- tain give birth 1 here lived OUQ whose prophecies weie hailed in the olden tyme," as voice" from heaven and sitting on his rude chair in his rugged cavern, the people looked upon him asacelestiat messenger t'io mountain looks duwn upon the gentle ) owy Vale with a frown of dignity, as if conscious of Hs grandeur, as the home of the prophet in the early days of Welsh greatness and the traveller who, in this age, visits the sacred spot, feels awed by the solemn grandeur and wihlrjess of the place, atl11 venerates wilh a spirit that unconsciously im- bibes a superstition, the cave of the prophet, and the rude chair whereun he sat. These relics are still preserved, and no doubt will, as long as the name of MERI.IN is cherished. My onward view is bounded by a black range of "cloud- capped mountains, beyond nhich nought is beheld but the onward-sweeping clouds of heaven, tinted with a thousand dyes, as the uprising sun, scatters his glory through the heavens, and around the hoary summit of Cambria's sterna) hills. I re- call my gaze; for who would date look through the vert which hides heaven from our sight, and idly write of the mysteries of the unknown world The town of Carmarthen lying betwixt me and the distant view, pleasantly- situated, and seeming to my eyes this moment, like that 'pot of land in "the far west) "I!b I p«ftlcul*rl? I'iVI u my tam*, it surrounded by bUtl. and smiles in the happy valley like an exile's dream cf that home for which he daily longs. My v:ew'' is now ended, and) retire from my bed-room window impressed with feelings that are balm to 1\ wounded spirit, and quietude to the passions of a torn and troubled heart. And if any one, whose eyes haveglauced over this my mornings thought, experiences at times—and who does not?—the anxie- ties 'he 11J1!I'e'udcs. the miseries which e\iste»CC IS destined to sorter, let 111111 look around over tin: fair !;ice of creation, if on'v from his window, and he will fed such a change conu over his spirit, as the ten thousand beautiful works ot a bounti- ful Providence can effect. The remembrance wtllltve within his heart throughout the day, and thus the cares of life will be met by "becoming fortitude, and the vicissitudes of destiny be robbed othatfthorpangs. MARSH U.L.
